Wood Lantern Tutorial "IndyWatch Feed Diy"

 

What Materials Do I Need?

To build these wood lanterns, you'll need pine or "whitewood" boards for the base, in 1x6, 1x8 or 1x10 sizes (depending on the size of lantern you are building).

For the 3/4" x 3/4" pieces, you can buy 3/4" square dowels online or at most home improvement stores.  If you are building in bulk, it is much less expensive to take a wider width board, like a 1x8 or 1x12, and rip it into 3/4" strips.  Ripping is not easy for this small of a piece, do not attempt without experience using a table saw.

Different Style Bases

This plan include three different style bases, for your personal preference.  Use the cut list that matches your base to build your lantern.

Bitcoin At $25,000 Or $30,000? Crypto Analyst Weighs In "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Bitcoin has experienced a hard couple of days after climbing above $30,000 last week. The coin reaching a new 9-month high triggered euphoria in the market. However, it has begun to wear off as Bitcoin has now returned to $28,000 once more. The question now is where does BTC go from here? Does it continue its uptrend and is further downside more likely for the cryptocurrency?

Analyst Shares Expectations For Bitcoin

Speaking on where Bitcoin might go from here, analyst Micheal van de Poppe shared his forecasts. The analyst shared a BTC chart that showed unpredictable movement for the cryptocurrency at best, signaling that BTC had entered a region where forecasts are hard to come up with.

He put the next crucial point for the digital asset at the $27,600 level. Given that Bitcoin had previously ranged support here before its run-up above $30,000, it becomes an important level. Van de Poppe explained that the rally could continue from here but it would need to be fast. Could take liquidity beneath, but needs a fast recovery, he explained.

On the flip side of this is the $28,800 resistance being mounted by the bears. At this point, the analyst explains that it becomes crucial to breach this level. In the event that bulls are unable to retake it, then he puts the price back in the $26,000 territory.

BTC Enters A Perilous Position

BTC is now at a point where it becomes very important for it to at least see some upside if it is to continue holding its value. This is because its decline to $28,000 has now put it firmly below its 20-day moving average. So while Bitcoin remains bullish for the long term, the short term has turned bearish very quickly.

Bitcoin (BTC) price chart from TradingView.com

Right now, there is support at $28,000 but there is no telling if this will hold as BTC is already below $28,100. The mounting resistance at $28,800 is also a deterrent right now for investors, who are choosing to keep their...

Artist Recreates Michelangelos David as an Origami Sculpture From a Single Sheet of Paper "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Artist Recreates Michelangelos David as an Origami Sculpture From a Single Sheet of Paper

Origami David Sculpture

DAVID, based on Boice Wong's Looking Beyond, folded by @mayuncchigami, wenzhou, 55x55cm

Widely regarded as the most famous statue in the world, almost everyone can recognize Michelangelo's David. While we are accustomed to seeing it in its marble form, some artists have reimagined its likeness into new and varied mediums. Artist @mayuncchigami has recreated this masterpiece as a highly detailed origami using only one square sheet of paper.

The intricate piece features many of the same features of the original artwork, including realistic anatomy and the contrapposto stance. The artist began the project with a crease pattern created by Boice Wong, which provides a basic structure for the model. However, instead of following it to a T, @mayuncchigami incorporated his own vision, wanting to amplify the realism, particularly the musculature of David. My goal was to both recreate Michelangelo's statue as closely as I could with origami, but also try something that is very much unlike anything you would typically encounter in origami, he tells My Modern Met.

Prior to commencing the project, @mayuncchigami prepared a 55 x 55 cm (21.7-square-inch) wenzhou paper (a type of material made out of mulberry bark) by treating it with methylcellulose, which makes the paper stiffer and more resistant to tearing. Afterward, he followed the pattern to create the basic structure. Here is when I started to experiment with shaping the various skeletal muscles, he explains. I roughly sketched out my shaping, first by tracing the lines and shapes into the paper with my fingers and tweezers to get a feeling of the overall form and position of the various details until I...

Bitcoin Exchange Outflows Spike, Bullish Sign? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin exchange outflows have seen a significant spike during the past day, a sign that may be bullish for the price.

Bitcoin Exchange Outflows Have Observed A Large Spike Today

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, a total of 2,138 BTC has been taken out of exchanges during the last day. The exchange outflow is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin thats being withdrawn from the wallets of all centralized exchanges.

When the value of this metric has an elevated value, it means the investors are transferring out a large number of coins from these platforms. Generally, holders withdraw their BTC from exchanges for holding onto them for extended periods in offsite wallets. Because of this reason, elevated values of this metric can be a sign of accumulation, and hence, can be bullish for the cryptocurrencys price.

On the other hand, the low values of the indicator imply there arent many withdrawals happening in the market right now. Such a trend can be either bearish or neutral for the asset, depending on how the exchange inflow, the counterpart indicator, is behaving at the moment.

Holders usually deposit to exchanges for selling-related purposes, so when the exchange inflow has high values, it suggests the investors may be participating in a selloff of the asset. Naturally, this can have bearish consequences for the price.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin exchange outflow, as well as in the inflow, over the last day:

Bitcoin Exchange Outflow And Inflow

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin exchange outflow has registered a very sharp spike in the last few hours. In total, the investors have withdrawn 2,138 BTC (about $60.6 million at the current exchange rate) from exchanges with this spike.

Since these large withdrawals have come while the price of the cryptocurrency has been in the lower $28,000 values (which are relatively low levels considering the price had been above $30,000 just a few days ago), its possible that these transfe...

The Bitcoin Culture War Wont Win Mass Adoption "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Prominent Bitcoiners, many of whom advocate lifestyle maximalism, may be hurting adoption by leaning in one political direction.

This is an opinion editorial by Trey Walsh, the senior director for youth programs at the MassHire Metro North Workforce Board in Somerville, Massachusetts.

Since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has caught the world by storm, leaving many stumped by its continued adoption and growing number of use cases, and leading many others to continually dismiss it or manufacture cultural and political narratives about it to satisfy their own agendas.

We will never know the true intentions behind the creation of Bitcoin due to the pseudonymity of its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, but it is widely believed that Bitcoin was created in response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and a widespread distrust of traditional financial institutions. Since 2008, this distrust of financial institutions, our political system and global organizations such as the World Bank and World Economic Forum has arguably continued to grow, while Bitcoin gains steam and interest continues to pique in its direction.

As more and more folks begin to notice Bitcoin, they also tend to notice what I consider to be Bitcoins social layer and in this context, Im referring to the range of social and cultural norms and values that have emerged among its users and biggest voices.

Every movement in this case, a technological and monetary revolution has a social layer and culture. Bitcoin is a complex and evolving phenomenon, with many nuances, but I would argue it is one that has been dominated, at least in the context of the United States, by those on the political right ranging from those with far-right wing, fringe ideologies to Libertarians to mainstream Republicans.

This dominance resonates for liberal democracies throughout the West, but as an American, I will focus on the U.S. While Bitcoin users and holders may vary greatly across the social, cultural and political spectrums, many of Bitcoins biggest proponents and greatest public figures would identify most often with the political right and are predominately white men.

This is a value-neutral statement; an observation of the current demographic and ideological camp of prominent Bitcoiners. However, many people I know have been turned off from Bitcoin because they dont see their values represented in the community. Those from marginalized groups, the LGBTQ+ community, progressives and many others can become distracted and outright dismiss Bitcoin as one of the fringe or radical ideas that have come from...

US resumes biolabs program in Ukraine Russian MOD "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

Washington is constructing secretive new facilities and is training personnel, Moscow has claimed.
The US has quietly resumed its controversial biolabs program in Ukraine and is focusing on the construction of secretive new facilities and the training of personnel, the Russian Defense Ministry has claimed. A new trove of documents on alleged US-funded biological programs in Ukraine was presented by the commander of Russias Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, during a media briefing on Friday. Kirillov cited the protocol from a meeting dated October 20, 2022, which was attended by representatives of the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and multiple Ukrainian officials, as well as figures from the Jacobs/CH2M engineering company. The meeting reportedly focused on the resumption of biological research in Ukraine, which was paused due to the hostilities between Moscow and Kiev. Now, the project has been resumed with focus on renewal of legislative support, revision of training schedule, as well as conclusion and resumption of construction work, the Ukrainian-language protocol stated, citing Jacobs/CH2Ms David Smith. The program was previously known as Joint biological research but has been rebranded as Biological control research, the document indicated. It cited concerns over an alleged Russian disinformation campaign on the issue. The US has engaged in damage control efforts to prevent potential leaks from Ukrainian specialists on the true nature of the biological research programs, Kirillov asserted.
Hiding from responsibility for participating in military biological projects, many suspects left the territory of Ukraine. To prevent a possible leak of information about the illegal activities of the Pentagon, the US administration is taking emergency measures to search for and return them, the commander argued. US damage control began shortly after the outbreak of the conflict in February 2022, another document suggested. The Russian military presented a draft memo titled Reducing the Threat of Ukrainian E...

OKB Unfazed By Crypto Market Bloodshed, Rallies 22% Today "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

OKB, the native cryptocurrency of the OKX exchange, is defying the odds in the midst of the current crypto market downturn, registering an unexpected surge in price and demand. 

Despite the latest turbulence in the crypto industry, OKB has managed to maintain its bullish momentum. This sudden upswing has caught the attention of investors and crypto enthusiasts alike, who are now scrambling to jump on the OKB bandwagon. 

But what is behind OKBs remarkable resilience in the face of a bleeding crypto market, and what does this mean for the future of the cryptocurrency?

OKB Continues To Defy Crypto Market Trends With Impressive Rally

According to CoinMarketCap, OKB is currently trading at $52.98, up an impressive 12.34% in the last seven days. This surge in price has left many investors and analysts curious about the factors contributing to OKBs bullish momentum, especially given the overall downward trend of the crypto market in recent weeks. 

The crypto market is currently facing a bleak state, with leading crypto Bitcoin struggling to reclaim the $30,000 mark and Ethereum falling below $2,000. 

Despite multiple attempts by Bitcoin to break past the crucial $30,000 resistance level, it has remained unsuccessful in doing so, resulting in a dip in investor confidence. 

Ethereum, on the other hand, has been facing its own set of challenges, with a drop in demand and increasing concerns about network congestion. The overall market sentiment has been bearish, with many investors pulling out of the market in anticipation of further price drops. 

Fundamental Factors Behind OKBs Bullish Momentum

Meanwhile, OKBs latest surge cannot be solely attributed to technical analysis, as fundamental factors played a significant role in its growth. Two key factors can be identified, the first being the announcement of the SUI blockchain and its integration with OKX

Should You Help A Person Even After They Rudely Rejected A Previous Attempt? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

If ever there was a good example of no good deed goes unpunished its this one, where a man tries his best to be neighborly and gets absolutely reamed for it in public, no less.

OP lives in a cold climate, and since he works a second shift, he always puts his wifes windshield wipers up on the car in the winter so that theyre not frozen in the morning.

I (59M) live in a major city in Ontario, Canada. I live in a small subdivision and have 5 neighbors total on my street.

For the past few years during the winter when were getting a lot of snow or a bad storms, as Im leaving for my overnight shift at around 8-9pm Ill put my wifes windshield wipers up on her car and do a quick walk around to my other 5 neighbors and put their windshield wipers up on their cars (obviously not if theyre outside or something, but if it looks like theyre in for the night).

At some point he started doing the same for his neighbors if he knows theyre in for the night, and they will return the favor if he forgets.

Many of them forget to do this, as many of them have children and it typically slips their mind, and their wipers will be frozen to their car in the morning.

Its just something nice I like to do to look out for my neighbors. Theyre all always grateful of this and thank me for it. Many of them started doing it too and there will be nights where Ill forget to put mind and my wifes up, and in the morning one of the neighbors has done it for us.

Why the Ancient Romans Had Better Teeth Than Modern Europeans "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

The cases for traveling back in time and living in a past era are many and varied, but the case against doing so is always the same: dentistry. In every chapter of human history before this one, so were often told, everyone lived in at least a low-level state of agony inflicted by tooth problems, to say nothing of the unimaginable unsightliness of their smiles. But as justified as we probably are in laughing at the pearly whites on display in Hollywood period pieces, the historical record conflicts with our belief that the further you go into the past, the worst everyones teeth: ancient Romans, as explained in the Told In Stone video above, actually had better teeth than modern Europeans.

Thats hardly a high bar to clear, a modern American may joke. But then, the United States today takes dental care to an almost obsessive level, whereas the citizens of the Roman Empire had practically nothing to work with by comparison. The standard, and often sole implement employed to clean teeth was a toothpick, says Told in Stone creator Garrett Ryan. These were paired with tooth powders, which were rubbed over the teeth and gums with an enthusiastic finger. Ingredients included pumice, pulverized bone, powdered glass, and crushed shell, or sometimes sheeps sweat and the ash of a wolfs head. all a far cry from anything offered on the toothpaste aisle today.

Shiba Inu Gets Stuck In Price Range Will SHIB Break Free? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Shiba Inu (SHIB), the beloved meme-inspired cryptocurrency, is feeling the heat as the entire crypto market bleeds red on April 21. But unlike some of its peers, Shiba Inu seems to be stuck in a price range, leaving investors wondering if its the calm before the storm or the new normal. 

When a cryptocurrency, or any asset, is stuck in a price range, it means that it has been trading within a specific range of prices for an extended period of time, with little upward or downward movement.

As the digital asset struggles to break free from its current slump, the question on everyones mind is: will Shiba Inus bark ever match its bite?

Shibarium Beta Progress A Ray Of Hope For Shiba Inu

Shiba Inus dedication to growth and innovation is on full display with the recent public release of Shibarium betas documentation and continued project developments. 

However, while the platform is making strides forward, SHIBs price remains stagnant, as the market remains hesitant and uncertain. Despite Shiba Inus best efforts to expand their ecosystem and improve its capabilities, its fortunes have taken a recent hit, with the cryptocurrency experiencing a 2.30% drop in just 24 hours and a 6.84% slump over the past week, as reported by CoinMarketCap.

SHIB Burning Sees Mild Growth, Whale Trading Activity Down

As the price of Shiba Inu takes a much-needed breather, the total number of SHIB tokens being burned has seen mild but consistent growth. Within the last 24 hours alone, over 5.2 million SHIB tokens were burned, indicating that the community is taking steps to regulate the tokens supply. 

Shiba Inus impressive performance hasnt gone unnoticed either, as the cryptocurrency has been on a rampage for the better part of the week.

The meme coins network activity reached a new high at the end of March, with nearly 36,000 SHIB addresses transacting on the network.

Bitcoin And Crypto Drop In Danger Zone, Whats Next? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have taken harsh losses over the past two days. After the BTC price was still trading above the psychologically important $30,000 price mark on Tuesday, a sharp downward correction followed on Wednesday, dragging the entire crypto market down with it.

And an even deeper correction cannot be ruled out. At press time, the BTC price dropped below $27,900, ETH traded slightly above $1,900.

A big reason for the sell-off in the crypto market in recent days was the funding rates on leveraged long bets. A large number of traders had recently opened bullish bets on a sustained rise in Bitcoin and Ethereum, an easy play for market makers to liquidate these positions through major sell-offs.

According to Coinglass, liquidations of leveraged positions exceeded $262.5 million across the crypto market yesterday (Thursday). This is the highest level so far this year and shows that the greed in the market was too high.

Every dip was bought by traders with leverage in anticipation of a bounce to the range high. This unhealthy market behavior needs to be flushed out of the market to create a sustainable price rise (as before) through spot buying.

Bitcoin And Crypto Continue To Be In The Danger Zone

Technical analyst and founder of Eight Global, Michal van de Poppe, believes Bitcoin is not out of the danger zone yet because the price is currently exhibiting weakness:

Bitcoin is currently showing weakness. Broke back in the range, lost one of the crucial levels. Final crucial level is at $27,600. Could take liquidity below, but needs a fast recovery. If not, and no break of $28,800, then I suspect well see $26,200.

From an on-chain perspective, the price level at $28,300 might be crucial as Bitcoins Realized Price UTXO Age Bands (1 week to 1 month) is located here. As analyst Crazzyblockk writes via CryptoQuant, the level can be considered as a psychological level for people looking for short-term gains.

The reaction to this area could be instrumental in judging the strength or even weakness of the bulls. If Bitcoin receives a reaction from the short-term at these levels, it will be a sign of renewed interest in holding and entry by these people, and if this level breaks, these players will continue to sell, the analyst predicts.

Dogecoin Price Prediction: Doge Turns Red, Can This Support Save The Bulls? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Dogecoin started a fresh decline from $0.0950 against the US Dollar. DOGE is declining but the $0.080 support might protect more downsides.

  • DOGE failed to clear $0.0950 and started a fresh decline against the US dollar.
  • The price is trading below the $0.088 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).
  • There was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $0.0855 on the 4-hours chart of the DOGE/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair could decline further if there is a move below $0.080.

Dogecoin Price Extends Losses

After a steady increase, Dogecoins price faced resistance near $0.0950. DOGE formed a high near $0.0950 and started a fresh decline, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

There was a clear move below the $0.0850 support and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). Besides, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $0.0855 on the 4-hours chart of the DOGE/USD pair.

A low is formed near $0.0825 and the pair is now consolidating losses. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.0855 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.0950 swing high to the $0.0825 low.

Need To Restore Your Faith In Humanity? These People Have Some Ideas On How. "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

The way the world is these days, it can be hard to remember why were even trying to save it sometimes.

People are feeling stressed and down, and theyre looking for the silver linings and the reasons to keep going and if you need one today, these folks have got your back.

Yet, anyway.

I think about the fact that all things considered Im reasonably healthy and theres no warrant out for my arrest.

I heard a guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast say A healthy person wants a million things. A sick person just wants one thing. I use this all the time.

Just a bit of courage.

Reminds me of a saying that I used to repeat to myself occasionally:

If Internet Explorer is brave enough to ask to be your default browser, you can be brave enough to ask that girl out.

I found this absolutely hilarious and one time it actually gave me the courage to ask somebody out lol.

As bad as it seems.

As bad as things may seem, I have certain people in my life I couldnt live without. As long as they are ok, I ultimately dont care about anything else.

Its like that old ranking system trick, they ask you to rank your problem on a scale of 1-10. Its a sh*%ty problem, so the person ranks it at like an 8. Then the questioner says the level 10 ranking is equivalent to your house burning down and you are the only one to escape.

The original problem no longer seems like a level 8. In psychology it is called re-framing, very useful exercise for anxiety.

Perspective is key.

Face Scanning Could Be Coming to All Major U.S. Airports "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

It seems like the advancements in airport security technology keep getting more innovative by the day, and its about to get even more impressive.

At 16 airports around America, the TSA is currently testing facial recognition software to verify the ID of passengers at kiosks. The goal is to make the airport experience more convenient and faster, and to eliminate person-to-person contact.

TSA spokesperson R. Carter Langston said, Biometric technology has the potential to enhance security effectiveness, improve operational efficiency, and yield a more streamlined passenger experience at the TSA checkpoint. TSA recognizes that biometric solutions must be highly usable for all passengers and operators, considering the diversity of the traveling public.

This is how the process works: TSA agents verify a live image that is captured on a screen compared with the image of a persons face from their ID. It is then matched against a database of faces. If passengers are uncomfortable with the process (for now), they can request a standard ID check.

Ethereum Price Hesitates But This Trend Line Might Trigger Fresh Increase "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Ethereum price extended its decline below $1,950 against the US Dollar. ETH could start a fresh increase if it clears the $1,960 and $2,000 resistance levels.

  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,950 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).

An upside break above the trend line resistance and then $1,960 might send Ethereum toward $2,000. The next major resistance is near the $2,020 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $2,124 swing high to the $1,910 low.

New 1,750-Year-Old Chapter Of The Bible Found Within Hidden Text "IndyWatch Feed Uncanny"

Recently, a new chapter of the Bible has been discovered that was concealed inside a translation of the Gospel of Matthew that is 1,750 years old.

Grigory Kessel, a medievalist, used ultraviolet photography on the manuscripts that were housed in the Vatican Library in order to unveil the missing chapter.

The text showed up when illuminated by UV light. Image credit: Vatican Library

It was found as part of the Sinai Palimpsests Project, research aimed to recover texts that were erased and written over scribes in the 4th-12th centuries CE. Palimset manuscripts where earlier text has been washed or scraped off, then reused were fairly common due to the scarcity of writing materials. Centuries later text can be uncovered by illuminating the manuscripts with fluorescence or different wavelengths of light.

Researchers and scholars were aware of the manuscript in 1953, it was rediscovered in 2010 before being digitized in 2010. The natural light and UV images were added to the Digital Vatican Library.

The translation first written in the 3rd century CE and copied in the 6th century CE has not yet been released in full, but offers slightly more detail than the Greek translation of Matthew chapter 12. In verse 1 of the Greek translation, a sentence reads at that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat, while the Syriac translation discovered by Kessel ends began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.

Grigory Kessel has made a great discovery thanks to his profound knowledge of old Syriac texts and script characteristics, said Claudia Rapp, Director of the Institute for Medieval Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

This discovery proves how productive and important the interplay between modern digital technologies and basic research can be when dealing with medieval manuscripts, she adds.

The First Mercury Retrograde Of 2023 Is Here To Send All The Zodiac Signs Into Emotional Overdrive "IndyWatch Feed Uncanny"

The one thing that millennials are definitely known for it letting us know when planetary transits are happening, and for good reason! They happen all the time and pull the cosmic forces that rule our worlds into motion. However, Mercury Retrograde, the most famous and perhaps the most dreaded transition, is coming soon.

Instead of fearing Mercury Retrograde, the key is to learn to yourself.

Mercury retrograde is a phenomenon that happens several times a year when the planet Mercury appears to be moving backward in its orbit. During this time, communication, travel, and technology can become disrupted, leading to misunderstandings, delays, and other frustrations.

The first Mercury retrograde of 2023 is set to occur from April 21st to May 14th, and its important for each zodiac sign to be prepared. Here are some tips for how each sign can navigate this tricky time.

Aries (March 21 April 19): Focus on Self-Care

During Mercury retrograde, you may feel like everything is moving at a snails pace, which can be frustrating for your active and ambitious nature. Instead of trying to push forward, take this time to focus on self-care. Use this time to recharge your batteries and prepare yourself for the next wave of action.

Taurus (April 20 May 20): Stay Grounded

As an earth sign, you are already grounded, but during Mercury retrograde, its especially important to stay rooted in reality. Make sure to double-check all of your plans and keep a close eye on your finances to avoid any miscommunications or misunderstandings.

Gemini (May 21 June 20): Reflect on the Past

As a sign ruled by Mercury, you may feel the effects of retrograde more intensely than others. Instead of getting caught up in the chaos, use this time to reflect on the past and tie up any loose ends. This is a good time to revisit old projects or relationships and see if theres anything that needs to be resolved.

Cancer (June 21 July 22): Connect with Loved Ones

During Mercury retrograde, communication can be difficult, but that doesnt mean you should isolate yourself. Use this time to connect with loved ones, whether its through phone calls, letters, or other forms of communication. Reaching out to others can help ease any stress or anxiety you may be feeling.

Leo (July 23 August 22): Be Flexible

As a sign known for its confidence and determination, Mercury retrograde can throw a wrench in your plans. Instead of getting frustrated, try to stay flexible and adaptable. This can be a good time to experiment with new ideas and approaches.

Virgo (August 23 September 22): Review Your Plans

As a detail-oriented sign, you may already be in the habit of reviewing your plans, but its especially important during Mercu...

How History Has Been Misrepresented What Else has Been? "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

Image result for obelisk egyptian

There is much about the ancient past that we have been misled about from building the history of the human race through biased archaeology while ignoring erratics, to even getting the true age of human civilization time lines wrong. How is it that huge blocks of granite could have been moved by the ancient means such as using copper tools to cut and sculpt it, moving it hundreds of miles of dense jungle with horses and wheels? Really? One problem is allowing archaeologists make their biased guesses instead of bring in engineers and architects who could evaluate the resistance and the loads it would have taken to achieve such feats. The Egyptian Obelisk weighing 1500 tons cut from a huge piece of stone and still lying in an excavated pit? How were they going to raise that kind of weight from its resting place? With mechanical cranes using electric or diesel powered engines?

Image result for North American petroglphs

The view from above

Petroglyphs mark the terrain of the United States in various depictions of winged serpents and pre-Ice Age animals. Who carved out these ancient tributes to the gods? There are rune stones reminiscent of Viking archaeological remnants all over the North American continent going much further into the interior of North America than Leif Ericson was ever supposed to have explored. Some of these have a strong similarity to the Leprechaun dwellings found in Ireland that natives there are so superstitious about that if a site is unearthed during construction, the project will be altered or cancelled in fear of bad luck. Who left them in North America?

Image result for sahara desert

From Eden to Bad Lands

We know that 6500 years ago the Sahara Desert in Africa was once a gigantic fresh water lake larger than the combined Great Lakes of North America. Yet, climate change reduced a deep and massive lake to the most arid and hostile environment that one can imagine. Man was not any kind of contributor to global temperature at all at that time, and yet a heated atmosphere and a shift in rainfall patterns rendered an inland sea into a sandy and hellish topographical anomaly. Im fairly certain there were no internal combustion engine cars, gas burning stoves, heating oil furnaces, or passenger jets leaving contrails in the atmosphere. The same goes for Papoose Lake near what we know today as Area 51, another huge fresh water lake that somehow dried up while ancient man dealt with the raw elements of a mo...

Worlds First Bitcoin Real Estate Marketplace Launches Through Coinbase Integration "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Initially only available to Texas-based properties, the company plans expansion into other states in June 2023.

MyEListing, a commercial real estate marketplace, is set to launch the world's first bitcoin-enabled real estate marketplace through a Coinbase integration. This new platform allows buyers to purchase U.S. real estate properties with bitcoin or cash. MyEListing's CEO, Caleb Richter, stated that the program will "drive innovation in the crypto and real estate industries."

The press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine claims the program aims to bring new convenience, accessibility and greater profitability to the market. Agents can now list U.S. commercial and residential properties to be sold for cryptocurrency or cash on the platform, and anyone worldwide can purchase them within one business day through the ASAP program. The transaction times are also expected to be nearly 50 times faster than current averages, according to the press release.

The platform is initially launching for Texas-only properties on April 20, 2023, with plans to expand to other select states in June 2023. The list of available properties to purchase with bitcoin is available on the MyEListing website. The ASAP program's explainer video provides a step-by-step guide on how the process works.

The integration of Coinase by MyEListing is expected to change the way people invest in real estate by providing a secure and efficient way to buy and sell properties, the press release states. As Richter explained, "with the ASAP program, anyone, regardless of the language they speak or where they are in the world, can purchase residential and commercial real estate with crypto in as little as one business day."

The program's success will be determined in the coming months as it expands to other states and attracts more buyers and sellers.

Is it More Sustainable to Build New or to Remodel? "IndyWatch Feed Diy"

There are many factors to consider when deciding whether to build a new home or renovate an existing one. Which approach has a greater negative effect on the environment, and which is more sustainable? What variables can impact the projects ecological footprint?

Generally, renovating an existing building is more eco-friendly than building a new one from scratch. New construction is more material-intensive and creates more waste than renovation. Extracting, packaging and transporting the materials adds to the projects emissions. It also causes more air, water and noise pollution. A costly demolition might also be necessary.

You can also seamlessly integrate more sustainable features into an existing structure and reduce its energy expenditure. This feat is harder to pull off when building from scratch.

But all of this depends on several key factors material selection, the projects scale and the homeowners lifestyle.

Using lots of natural and recycled materials can make a construction project more sustainable than a renovation. Eco-friendly options like bamboo, straw bale and rammed earth are becoming increasingly popular.

The scale of the renovation or construction project also comes into play. Extensive remodels like the addition of a pool, garage or extra bathroom could have a more significant environmental impact than building from scratch. These types of projects consume lots of water and electricity not just during the renovation process, but throughout the rest of their life cycles.

Traditional construction methods might be less eco-friendly than the average renovation. Still, new strategies and design styles are emerging that could make building new structures much more sustainable. Modular building and 3D printing have the potential to reduce the construction industrys collective environmental footprint.

The homeowners lifestyle is arguably the most influential factor. How do you intend to use the renovation or new house? If you incorporate eco-friendly appliances and use the renovations new utilities responsibly, you can minimize its environmental impact and be 100% sure its more sustainable than building new.

Consider all the factors carefully before making your decision.

5 Signs Of Immaturity That Are Linked To Parents "IndyWatch Feed Uncanny"

Whether it is laughing at poop jokes or insisting on having your favorite junk food on hand at all times, there are some things that can be classified as immature, which carry negative learning connotations despite being totally benign regarding how we operate the world. Certain signs of immaturity can have a huge impact on your life in all the wrong ways, and you might not even be aware that they are an issue that could be seriously holding you back.

You might be holding onto these immature behaviors because of many reasons including; being rewarded for immature behavior, being surrounded by immature people, having a bad childhood, or not having good role models around while you were growing up. Regardless of how they surfaced, if you dont realize they are a problem, there is no way to face them head-on.

According to psychiatrist, Monida Seawell, MD, To change a deeply ingrained behavioral pattern, a person must have some level of awareness that the behavior is problematic and that it is resulting in negative consequences.

Lets get rid of the guesswork and dive straight into the signs of immaturity that are holding you back:

Difficulty with emotional regulation

One of the most common signs of immaturity is difficulty with emotional regulation. This can manifest in a variety of ways, including frequent outbursts of anger or frustration, difficulty handling criticism or rejection, and an inability to manage stress. Therapists suggest that individuals who struggle with emotional regulation can benefit from learning mindfulness and other techniques to manage their emotions in healthy ways.

Blaming others

Another common sign of immaturity is the tendency to blame others for ones problems or mistakes. This can take many forms, from refusing to take responsibility for ones actions to constantly pointing the finger at others when things go wrong. Therapists suggest that individuals who struggle with blaming others can benefit from learning to take ownership of their mistakes and work on building healthier relationships with others.

Impulsivity

Impulsivity is another sign of immaturity that can cause problems in ones personal and professional life. This can include acting without thinking, making decisions based on emotion rather than logic, and engaging in risky behaviors. Therapists suggest that individuals who struggle with impulsivity can benefit from developing better decision-making skills, practicing mindfulness, and seeking out healthy outlets for their energy.

Lack of empathy

Empathy is a key component of healthy relationships, but individuals who struggle with immaturity may have difficulty putting themselves in others shoes. This can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and a lack of connection with others. Therapists suggest that individuals who struggle with empathy can benefit from practicing act...

Intuitive Astrology Forecast May 2023 "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

We begin May 2023 in the depths of the Eclipse Portal. Eclipses are a highly transformative time, signifying a shift from one chapter of our lives to the next. 

Mercury and Pluto will also be in retrograde for most of the month, indicating a time of reflection. Having these two powerful retrogrades taking place during the Eclipse Portal feels like a signal from the Universe to go within, slow down, and really digest and integrate the energies that are unfolding.

Jupiter also moves out of fiery Aries, into grounded Taurus on May 16. Jupiter spends about 12 months in each zodiac sign, so its move is said to mirror the theme of the year ahead. 

Jupiter in Taurus is set to shine a spotlight on our finances, the financial industry, and our feelings of self-worth. Taurus is also a sign connected to indulgence, abundance, and steady growth. As Jupiter is known as the planet of expansion, all these themes can be amplified under this new placement.

The month then ends with the magical Silver Gate Portal, which is activated by the Sun aligning with the Royal Star, Aldebaran. 

Aldebaran is associated with intelligence and our higher mind. It can supercharge our third eye and help us download new information. Aldebaran is also believed to be the final stopping ground for souls entering their new reincarnation on Earth.

May 2023 is a power month and likely to be a turning point for many of us. Listen and trust your intuition. Allow it to be your guide as you move through whatever the month brings. A powerful mantra you can work with is- I trust myself. 

Lets now take a look at the key dates for the month

May Astrology 2023

May 1: Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius

Pluto enters retrograde once a year, but this retrograde is extra significant as its the first retrograde Pluto has made in Aquarius. Pluto entered Aquarius earlier this year but will eventually backtrack into Capricorn on June 11th. As Pluto makes its first retrograde through Aquarius, we are likely to see Pluto in Aquarius themes amplified. On a global level, we could see a spotlight on technology companies, as well as issues around currency, money, and power. On a personal level, Plutos retrograde will be very subtle and will gently pull on issues that need to step out of the shadows and into the light. You can learn more about Pluto in Aquarius here.

Bitcoin Magazine Launches Book Publishing Branch With Two New Books "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Alex Gladstein and C. Jason Maier are the first authors to publish through Bitcoin Magazine Books.

Bitcoin Magazine has announced the launch of its new book publishing branch, Bitcoin Magazine Books. The venture aims to provide readers with educational literature on Bitcoin, its impact on global economies and its role in shaping the world's financial future. As the adoption of Bitcoin increases, the need for accurate and informative resources becomes crucial in understanding the complex topics surrounding Bitcoin and navigating the rapidly evolving landscape.

The launch of Bitcoin Magazine Books is marked by the release of two new publications, "Hidden Repression" by Alex Gladstein and "A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin" by C. Jason Maier. These publications are not just for Bitcoin enthusiasts, but for anyone interested in global economic and political developments.

"Hidden Repression" by Alex Gladstein addresses how the world's monetary system exploits the weak and how citizens in the global south are turning to Bitcoin as a way out. Gladstein states, "Im delighted to be working with Bitcoin Magazine to publish Hidden Repression, which seeks to illuminate the true nature of the world financial system and how, at its core, it remains a mechanism of the powerful stealing from the weak."

"A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin" by C. Jason Maier presents a well-researched and thoughtful case for the value of Bitcoin, grounded in fact and avoiding sensationalism and hype. Maier hopes to combat some of the misinformation that people often hear about this new technology, stating, "Bitcoin is our best chance to make the world more just, equitable and peaceful, and it is critically important that more people fully understand it."

Both books are available for purchase from the Bitcoin Magazine store for $29.99, and they will also be available for purchase at the upcoming Bitcoin 2023 Conference in Miami on May 18-20. The authors will be present at the conference's general admission days, where they can sign the books at the Book Signing booth.

Bitcoin Magazine Books aims to publish high-quality books that offer readers valuable insights into Bitcoin's role in shaping the world's economic future. With the launch of these two new publications, Bitcoin Magazine Books is off to a strong start, and readers can look forward to more exciting books in the futur...

Largest Pork Producer in the U.S. Now Owned by $22 Billion Chinese Meat Processing Company "IndyWatch Feed Health"

Smithfield Corporation, the largest pork producer in the United States, is a household name when it comes to processed meats. However, many consumers are unaware that the company was purchased in 2013 by WH Foods, a $22 billion Chinese meat processing corporation. This acquisition has sparked concerns about the implications of foreign control over a major player in the American food industry, as well as the environmental and social consequences of Smithfields factory farming practices.

Background and Acquisition

The Smithfield Corporation, headquartered in Smithfield, Virginia, is known for its sausages, roasts, ribs, bacon, and more. In 2013, it was purchased by WH Foods of China, a company that generated $22.3 billion in revenue in 2017. The acquisition allowed WH Foods to expand its global presence and secure a steady supply of pork for the Chinese market, which has been affected by African swine fever and a decline in pig population. Smithfield does not disclose the exact amount of meat it exports to China, but the company sold about 38.8 million pounds of pork to the country during a few months.

Environmental Consequences

Smithfield Foods factory farming practices have come under scrutiny for the environmental damage they cause. In 2017, drone footage revealed a large, football-stadium sized lake filled with pig urine and feces at the companys largest pork farming facility. The footage, secretly recorded by Mark Devries as part of his investigative documentary, Speciesism: The Movie, exposed the harsh conditions in which pigs are raised, cramped together in long buildings and unable to move. The waste generated by these factory farms is disposed of by spraying it into the air, which has a detrimental impact on the surrounding environment.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also cited Smithfield Foods for violations of the Clean Water Act. In 1997, the company was fined $12.6 million for discharging pollutants into the Pagan River in Virginia. Despite these incidents, Smithfield maintains that its practices adhere to regulations and that its facilities are clean and well-maintained.

Social Implications

The communities surrounding Smithfields factory farms are predominantly low-income families, who bear the brunt of the pollution and health risks associated with these practices. Dr. Steve Wing of the University of North Carolina explains that the waste sprayed into the air can drift into neighboring communities, causing respiratory issues and other health problems. Studies have found higher rates of asthma and respiratory symptoms among children and adults living near these facilities.

The Belly Button, the Pechoti Method, and the Science Behind It All "IndyWatch Feed Fertility"

The belly button, or navel, is a unique and fascinating part of the human body. Not only is it the former site of the umbilical cord, which connected mother and baby during pregnancy, but it also has an array of biological connections and potential health benefits. In this article, we will delve into the science of the belly button, discuss the Pechoti method, and explore the use of castor oil packs for health and wellness.

The Belly Button: A Vital Connection

The belly button, formed after the umbilical cord is severed at birth, is the bodys only natural scar. It is a remnant of the crucial connection between mother and baby, through which oxygen, nutrients, and water were supplied to the developing fetus. Even after birth, many blood vessels and nutrient-carrying connections remain in the area around the navel.

The Pechoti Gland and the Pechoti Method

Behind the belly button lies a region known as the Pechoti, named after the Pechoti gland, which is thought to contain over 70,000 veins. These veins can connect to almost every part of the body, providing pathways for nutrient absorption and distribution. The Pechoti method takes advantage of this unique vascular network by applying natural and essential oils to the navel to deliver their beneficial properties throughout the body.

Proponents of the Pechoti method claim it can help alleviate various medical conditions, including dryness of the eyes, face, heels, and lips; joint and knee pain; acne; pancreas health; lethargy; abdominal pain; and symptoms of colds and flus. However, it is important to note that scientific evidence supporting the Pechoti method is limited, and more research is needed to validate these claims.

Common Oils Used in the Pechoti Method

Various oils are used in the Pechoti method to address specific health concerns. Some common examples include:

  1. Neem Oil: Used for acne and pimples.
  2. Almond Oil: Used for dry skin and promoting a healthy glow.
  3. Mustard Oil: Used for dry skin, chapped lips, and mild intestinal detox.
  4. Olive Oil: Used to improve fertility.
  5. Thyme Oil: Used as a relaxant, diuretic, and expectorant.

It is important to note that some oils, like thyme oil, must be diluted with a carrier oil before being applied to the skin to prevent irritation.

Incorporating the Pechoti Method: How to Apply and Recommended Frequency

 

To apply oils using the Pechoti method, begin by choosing an oil that addresses your specific health concern. Once you have selected the appropriate oil, make sure to dilute any potent essential oils with a carrier oil, such as coconut or jojoba oil, to avoid skin irritation. Then, follow these simple steps:

  1. Clean the area around your belly button with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Pat the area dry with a clean towel.
  2. Using a dropper or a cotton sw...

China Started Development of COVID Vaccines BEFORE The Outbreak "IndyWatch Feed Survival"

China began the development of two COVID-19 vaccines before the ruling classes even instructed the mainstream media to report on the outbreak. In a 300-page document, compiled by the United States Senate,  the rulers accuse Chinese researchers of starting work on a vaccine program in mid-November of 2019.

The mainstream media and ruling classes are using their expertise to declare that this means that China knew about the outbreak and was already preparing for it. They also claim that it adds to evidence that the country attempted to cover up early infections before the World Health Organisation (WHO) was informed on December 31.

What it looks like to rational thinkers is that this scamdemic has always been about a vaccine, and any story that convinces people to inject themselves several times with an mRNA concoction can be crafted into a narrative and spoonfed to the naive masses.

The report also concludes that the pandemic most likely resulted from a lab leak and a research-related incident in Wuhan, according to a report by The Daily Mail. The report also suggests two unintentional spill-over events may have happened just weeks apart.

One section of the report focuses on Chinas vaccine development.  Investigations by the committee show a team led by Professor Yusen Zhou, from the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, filed a patent for a Covid-19 vaccine on February 24, 2020.  Experts interviewed by the investigators said it would have taken at least two to three months to reach this stage, suggesting that work must have started in November 2019, one month before China publicly released details on the virus.

According to the report, this investigation found evidence that China began SARS-CoV-2 virus vaccine development no later than November 2019.

To begin building a vaccine construct, developers had to have the full genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2. The full genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-...

Project Icebreaker: The beginning of a one world digital currency system? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

There has been extensive discussion in the past couple of years within alternative media circles about the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs); a currency framework very similar to blockchain based products like Bitcoin but directly controlled by central bankers. It's a threat that some analysts including myself have been writing about for more than a decade, so it's good to finally see the issue being addressed more in the mainstream. The Orwellian nature of CBDCs cannot be overstated. In a cashless society most people would be dependent on digital products for exchanging goods and labor, and this would of course mean the end of all privacy in trade. Everything you buy or sell or work for in your life would be recorded, and this lack of anonymity could be used to stifle your freedoms in the future. For example, say you like to eat steak regularly, but the increasingly authoritarian government decides to list red meat as a health risk and a "climate change risk" due...

French Cyclists Create Record-Breaking GPS Drawing of a 637-Mile-Long Dinosaur "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

French Cyclists Create Record-Breaking GPS Drawing of a 637-Mile-Long Dinosaur

Richie Porte on the Mountains Roads - Tour de France 2015

Photo: razvanphoto/Depositphotos (Not a photo of the actual event.)

Four French cyclists have claimed the Guinness World Record for the largest GPS drawing by a bicycle team. Their winning piece: a 1,025 km-long (637-mile-long) depiction of a velociraptor that took 43 hours and 47 minutes to complete. The dinosaur's body was drawn over the course of six days, encompassing several French counties, including Cher, Saone-et-Loire, Indre, Nievre, Creuse, Puy-de-dome, and Allier.

The group chose a velociraptor as their inspiration because it includes velo in the name, which means bicycle in French. It required a year of planning to figure out the route that would bring the dinosaur to life, and they finally began their record-breaking ride in November 2022. Guinness announced their record in March 2023.

Dinosaurs are proof that such strong species can quickly become extinct, Maxime Brugre, one of the cyclists, says. We are the main culprits of this environmental crisis, but also its main victims. As such, the future is in our hands and cycling is one of the best ways to contribute to change. He and the team describe themselves as triathletes and daily commuters who emphasize the benefits of using bicycles over cars. They shared their dinosaur creation with the fitness app Strava and have received thousands of likes by others in the cycling community.

Working on Ice Floes, David Popa Renders Ephemeral Portraits that Fracture and Split into the Sea "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

A portrait of a woman is rendered on a fractured ice floe

Bemuse. All images David Popa, shared with permission

After a decade of living in Finland, David Popa has established a fruitful creative collaboration that would be impossible in his native New York City. The artist frequently works on land and sea, particularly the fractured ice floes of the Baltic, to render large-scale portraits and figurative murals that draw connections between the ephemerality of human life and the environment. Whether depicting his wife or newborn child in intimate renderings, he highlights the inevitability of change as time passes, seasons transition, and the climate warms.

Popas use of such unconventional canvases emerged from a desire for adventure and child-like play, when he put on a drysuit, climbed onto his paddleboard, and ventured out to a frozen mass. These spaces were so mysterious and so interesting, the artist says. I derived an enormous amount of inspiration from going out into these ethereal spots. After taking some drone photos of the areas, he began working, spraying the contours of a cheek or lip onto the icy matter.

The Birder "IndyWatch Feed Literature"

Bird lore, 1906. National Committee of Audobon Societies of America. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.

I knew a birder once. I liked himits pointless to deny it and in any case I dont think I can write about him without it being abundantly clearthough we redirected early enough that friendship seemed possible. For him it always was a friendship, anyway. Still, the birding excursion was definitely a date. Perhaps he was curious about whether hed discover feelings for me among the pineswhether what psychologists call the misattribution of desire might be prompted by seeing a rare bird in my presence. We only saw regular birds, though: grackles, goldfinches, a great blue heron.

He was a birder but he was mostly a musician. I would have found it satisfying to discover that these were two sides of the same coin for him: its nice, after all, when people cohere, when you can discern a uniform purpose or a set of underlying values across their various pursuits. But the truth, really, is that people are more than one thing, and for most of his life, birds were an inconsequential if benign presence. It wasnt until the 2020 lockdown that he discovered how far he was willing to go for their sake: a tundra swan in Pittsfield, a Pacific golden plover in Newburyport.

He was a musician first, thougha conductor. This meant he could replicate plaintive calls and fluttering warbles with a melodic accuracy far beyond the typical naturalists, and distinguishing between overlapping cries was hardly more difficult than finding the rogue soprano within a thirty-voice section. That comparison is mine, of course: conducting is not so much like birding, if you are really paying attention. Choir is about connection, he told me onceto the music, to other people. But you dont need other people to walk around a lake in Woburn and check for sleeping owls. I just happened to be there.

He had one friend. This friend lived in Pennsylvania, but...

In preparation for the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, artists from around the world were selected to transform the desert landscape. This year's edition features the massive sculptural works by Kumkum Fernando, Vincent Leroy, Gven zel, and Maggie West, which permeate the skyline with architectural shapes, bright colors, and opalescent details. From towering robotic figures to larger-than-life flora, these eye-catching pieces envelop the festival with vibrancy and creativity.

While Coachella is commonly known for its musical aspect, art plays a major role in setting the atmosphere and enhancing the experience of the festival. In selecting projects from around the world, our intention is to bring together artists, architects, and designers whose practices invite participation, inclusion, and transformation, says curatorial advisor Raffi Lehrer. We strive to create a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural program that reflects our audience and the many performing artists that grace the stages of the festival. The resulting works will become iconspart of the identity of this year's show. These installations act simultaneously as way-finding markers, points of congregation, and most importantly, accessible entry points for show-goers to experience art.

The Olympic Ring between Apollo and Daphne by OZMO in Paris, France "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

OZMO, on the occasion of the Plante Priphrique Festival, the project organized by the RAS association and realized with the support of RIVP and the Mairie du 20eme,  had the opportunity to create an artistic intervention that develops on the exterior walls of an entire building located in the heart of the Python-Duvernois district, in Porte de Bagnolet, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
The context and the formal features of the building inspired him for this project: it is impossible to think of painting on the main facade, full of balconies, windows and pillars, so he tried to find a solution that would make these elements become an integral part of the main subject: a huge, fiery red ring.

Regulatory Limbo: the Case of NAC "IndyWatch Feed Health"

The more effective a natural product, the greater the risk if it sits in an uncertain, regulatory no mans land.

From ANH-International

In a world in which humans are pumping ever greater amounts of new-to-nature chemicals into the environment, were asking a lot from our detoxification systems. Your kidneys, and your liver in particular, do a lot of the heavy lifting. But theres a lot happening in our bloodstreams and within every cell of our bodies too, particularly in undoing the damage that toxins and associated free radicals can do as they circulate around our system before they are turned into less toxic, or sometimes even, more toxic, metabolites, or theyre excreted, or stored in body fat.

As humans, weve got two main ways of addressing this problem.

We can reduce the output of chemicals into the environment and into our bodies by affecting both the supply/production and demand (= difficult, but EU regulators are trying to do this by regulating industrial chemicals via the REACH program).

Or we can help our bodies handle the toxic burden better, accelerating the rate by which toxic compounds are metabolised and got rid of in our pee or poop (= easy, but an approach thats almost entirely ignored by health authorities and the medical profession).

Such is the seriousness of the problem of the growing toxic burden, one that contributes to many of the cancers and a substantial amount of the heart, neurodegenerative, and other diseases that plague society today, we argue we should deploy both strategies together as best we can. 

Take so-called forever chemicals known more scientifically as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASsby example. They represent a very large group of thousands (up to 6 million) of highly persistent organofluorine products. They are therefore a key group of persistent organic pollutants or POPs and exposure has been linked to increased risk of dyslipidemia (abnormally high cholesterol), immune suppression (antibody response), reduced infant and foetal growth, and higher rates of kidney cancer. Our US team is involved in a detailed study on PFAS which will be released soon. The EU lawmakers are ...

Orange Pill App Is Accelerating Hyperbitcoinization In Real Life "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Orange Pill App brings Bitcoiners together, demonstrates demand for adoption to local businesses and propels the bitcoin standard.

This is an opinion editorial by Robert Hall, a content creator and small business owner who has an Orange Pill App profile.

The team over at Orange Pill App is breaking new ground toward Bitcoin adoption on a peer-to-peer level. But if you dont know anything about this platform, here is a quick rundown:

Its an app available on iOS or Android that helps you find local Bitcoiners in your area. How often have you felt like you are the only Bitcoiner in town? I know I have plenty of time. Wouldnt it be nice to make new friends that love Bitcoin as much as you do in real life?

This is what the Orange Pill App is all about: building friendships and building a thriving Bitcoin community one meetup or connection at a time. As of this writing, there are thousands of users.

Users can list their Bitcoin-focused events and attract attendees from their areas. Source: Orange Pill App

In addition to helping you to find new Bitcoiners in your area, Orange Pill App is also on a mission to orange pill businesses. How much better would it be if we could spend sats at our local bars, hotels or restaurants? That would be awesome, right?

It definitely would add some rocket fuel toward the goal of achieving a bitcoin standard. To make this happen, Orange Pill App has partnered with BTCMap.org to use demand-side pressure to orange pill merchants en masse.

When this new feature is launched, the app will be able to plug the number of its users into BTC Map to show how many Bitcoiners are in a given area. This data will be shown to business owners so they can understand if there is an active group of Bitcoiners ready to spend sats at their establishments.

This is a win for small business owners, because they can instantly gain new customers without advertising. Bitcoiners are eager to spend sats and support businesses that accept bitcoin. One thing I understand about Bitcoiners is they are loyal and believe in Bitcoin to the core of their beings.

Im a bilingual photographer, mother, and now a certified Google IT Professional thanks to Coursera! Ive held an array of jobs in different fields, and photography has always been a particular passion of mine. With photography, I was reintroduced to computers and technology through a camera lens. After 6 years, I decided it was time to add to my well of knowledge to better myself and my family. Specifically, I wanted to learn more about how I could better serve my customers through customer service and computer troubleshooting.

My biggest concern about starting this program was scheduling. With young children, it would be nearly impossible for me to physically go to school or an internship. After doing some brainstorming and research, I stumbled upon Coursera. A completely remote, learn-at-your-own-pace program? Sign me up! 

I decided to enroll in the Google IT Support Professional Certificate program. Through this program, Ive gained skills in IT like troubleshooting, system administration, and networking. Ive also been able to implement my troubleshooting skills on my own personal computer. To deepen my knowledge of other user operating systems, I also enrolled in Operating Systems and You: Becoming a Power User program from Google. Currently, I am still in the process of researching and learning more about the IT field. While photography will always be my passion, Im also now interested in working in the IT field as a new career. I am thrilled to explore the world of tech further. I would love to connect with other individuals in the IT sphere and learn from their experiences.

FDA Presses Forward on Anti-Aging Supplement Ban "IndyWatch Feed Health"

The agency is doubling down on its position that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is not a legal supplement. Action Alert!

In a letter recently made public on the federal docket, the FDA has restated the position it announced in October 2022 that NMN does not meet the definition of a dietary supplement because, in the agencys view, it was studied as a drug before it was ever sold in or as a supplement. The FDA is clearly gearing up for a ban of this critical anti-aging supplement. We need a strong, sustained grassroots response from the natural health community to protect access to this supplement; we also need to support changes in this law that threatens many other natural compounds from being turned into drugs.

The letter, dated January 23, 2023 but made public on March 29, 2023, is in response to a new dietary ingredient notification filed by Effepharm, Ltd., in November 2022 with additional information submitted in January 2023. The letter reiterates the FDAs position that NMN is not a legal supplement due to the back-channel at the FDA that weve described many times before.

For supplements that are considered new under the lawthat is, they werent sold in or as a supplement before 1994companies must submit a notification to the FDA with studies to prove that it is safe before that ingredient can be marketedthis is referred to as a new dietary ingredient (NDI) notification. But heres the issue: if a drug company files an investigational new drug application (IND) and studies that ingredient before the FDA receives an NDI notification on it from a supplement company, it can no longer be sold as a supplement.

This back-channel is threatening the existence of a number of banned through this mechanism; CBD and NAC are also in jeopardy due to this loophole. Weve explained previously that this provision inherently favors drug companies. IND applications are confidential. A drug company can file an IND on an ingredient and sit on it for years. Meanwhile, an innovative supplement company could develop that nutrient into a great product, do the studies to comply with the FDAs ridiculous notification process, and then create a market for that productand then the drug company can swoop in with their IND, kick the supplements out of the market, and create a monopoly. 

Last month, ANH-USA filed a Citizens Petition with our allies, the Natural Products Association, calling for the FDA to issue a regulation stating that N...

The Labels On Your Food Are Shielding Lies "IndyWatch Feed Health"

Thanks to the FDA, food labels are about to get even more misleading. Action Alert!

Consumers beware: the FDA is on a crusade to make you healthier! This is undoubtedly a noble goal, but the FDA and the federal government have proven completely incapable of providing sound advice about diet and nutrition to Americans. The FDA has released a draft guidance to inform food companies about how they should make dietary guidance statements on food labels. The whole purpose of the guidance is to bring food labels into closer alignment with the recommendations contained in the Dietary Guidelines for Americansa document that is full of outdated and incorrect advice. This guidance will result in food labels that do not provide us with an accurate picture of which foods are healthy and not.

The agency explains in the guidance that its goal is to improve dietary patterns in the United States to help reduce the burden of nutrition-related chronic diseases and advance health equity. Towards that end, the FDA reminds us that they have proposed a definition of healthy to better inform consumers about healthy eating patterns (more on this below). The use of dietary guidance statements is another tool to increase the information at consumers disposal to make healthier food choices. Dietary guidance statements include things like Eat leafy green vegetables as part of a nutritious dietary pattern, or Make half your grains whole grain. The FDA explains to food companies that consensus reports from government bodieslike the Dietary Guidelinescan form the basis of dietary guidance statements.

This guidance helps to codify the problematic U.S. Department of Agricultures Dietary Guidelines. Weve analyzed the problems with the governments recommendations in previous coverage:

  • Added sugar. The government recommends that Americans consume less than 10 percent of calories per day from added sugars. But why is the government recommending any added sugar at all? Integrative doctors or nutrition professionals will advise patients (in most cases) to strictly limit their sugar intake, and to eliminate added sugar completely.
  • Saturated fats. Like added sugars, the Dietary Guidelines tell us to limit calories from saturated fat to 10 percent of total calories per day. The claim that saturated fat is a risk to heart health has been...

Nutritional Outrages of the Week "IndyWatch Feed Health"

From Ronald Hoffman, MD

A trio of food stories caught my eye this week . . .

Turning breakfast cereal into a bedtime snack: A problem for the food industry is that there are only a finite number of mouths available to eat breakfast. Demographically, the percentages of kids and teenagers are declining. Sales of breakfast cereals are, in essence, capped out. Especially because more people are turning away from sugary, high-carb morning meals, which are known to produce a roller-coaster effect on blood sugar, setting the stage for increased appetite and poor food choices later in the day. Once demonized as sources of saturated fat and cholesterol, eggs are regaining their rightful place as high-protein, satiating breakfast choices.

How then, to reinvigorate the market for these high-margin, cheap-to-produce processed cereals?

Credit Big Food for creativity. Theyve rolled out a campaign for Sweet Dreams. A headline announces, Post moves from breakfast to nighttime with new sleep-promoting cereal.

Cleverly capitalizing on the pervasiveness of sleep problems among Americans, lately exacerbated by Coronasomnia, Post claims that Sweet Dreams is the first ready-to-eat cereal designed to encourage a healthy sleep routine while satisfying late-night hunger. According to recent surveys, a quarter of American adults obtained less than the requisite seven hours of sleep per night, and 15% of adults had trouble falling asleep most days or every day in the past 30 days.

The theory is that hunger pangs interfere with sleep, and that the smattering of vitamins and minerals with a dash of calming lavender and chamomile facilitate relaxation and support melatonin.

For 130 million American adults, a good nights sleep is elusive. You deserve good sleep, and we want to help you enjoy it! So, we made Sweet Dreams cereal, the first ready-to-eat cereal specially designed to support a good sleep routine and a fresh start to the next day.

The Nutrition Facts label on Sweet Dreams reveals a cup (who eats just a cup of dry cereal?) yields 230 calories, of which 46 grams are carbohydrates, a third of which (16 grams) come from simple sugars. The packaging states it is made with whole grains but its not clear how much. Suspect ingredients include sunflower oil, canola o...

A Shocking UN Document Reveals The Sick Sexual Agenda That The Globalists Plan To Push On The Whole World "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

They arent going to stop until they impose their twisted values on the entire planet.  If you have not heard of The 8 March Principles yet, you can find the entire document right here.  It is essentially a blueprint for synchronizing all global laws regarding sexuality, gender and reproductive rights.  UNAIDS is one of the organizations that was involved in drafting this document, and on their official website they claim that many global laws that prohibit certain types of sexual behavior not only violate human rights, but the fundamental principles of criminal law themselves.  Alarmingly, among the laws that are being targeted by the globalists are laws that ban adults from having sex with children. It turns out that they have been working on The 8 March Principles for quite a long time. In fact, UNAIDS says that it took over five years to finalize this new document
The principles are the outcome of a 2018 workshop organized by UNAIDS and OHCHR along with the ICJ to discuss the role of jurists in addressing the harmful human rights impact of criminal laws. The meeting resulted in a call for a set of jurists principles to assist the courts, legislatures, advocates and prosecutors to address the detrimental human rights impact of such laws.

From Revelations to Revolutions  Why a "transition" is no longer a sustainable option

Wth guest presenter, Elaine Buxton

Elaine is a long standing member and volunteer with Prepare for Change.  She is also a researcher and writer for PFC and has her own Substack account.  Saturday's talk will cover some of the articles she has produced from her research.

___

For the past 2 to 3 years, we have been referring to negative events as a "transition". We, the enlightened ones, are living in a dualistic, metaphysical matrix.  The ways of 3D materialistic living are no longer sustainable, and we aspire to a higher vibrational level of existence.  Many people call this ascending to 5D.  Instead of passively complying with the technocrats plan for Agenda 21/30 and the end of biological humanity, we MUST create a vision for a newer, better way of self-governance. Our political, economic, and social infrastructures are crumbling, set on fire by homicidal, narcissistic oligarchs with Satanic, demonic ideology.  They have been planning a Great Reset for over a century and 2023 is the first year of their New World Order according to the World Economic Forum It meets all the criteria for a revolution. We are in an existential crisis, and just like Russia, Western civilization must fight for its survival.  Democracy has been taken over by a corrupt mob who hunger for totalitarian control of the planet.  Instead of passively transitioning to technocracy controlled by AI, I propose creating an alternate ideology and political philosophy on Weekend Awakenings.  It is the next urgently needed step in preparing for change.  W...
