Stick-On Drawer Organizers - Cheap, Quick and Easy! "IndyWatch Feed Diy"
3/8" wood is what is shown in the photos and videos. I have also done 1/2". Both work just fine, really will depend on what wood is available to you.
The depth shown in these photos and video is 1-1/2" (may be referred to as 2" when buying but it is actual dimension of 1-1/2"). I like this shallow depth because it is easy to reach in small spaces if the depth is short. Avoid tall, narrow dividers that are hard to reach in.
For wood species, I used pine. There are other options, even softer wood like balsa, or more expensive hardwoods. All work just fine. You could even use hardwood plywood that is ripped into strips.

EOS Foundation Launches Upgrade As Crypto Market Rallies "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
In an exciting update, the EOS Foundation recently launched a major upgrade with innovative developments and solutions to its network ecosystem.
The upgrade coincided with a market recovery today that saw the price rally of Bitcoin and some altcoins alongside it. The theme of the upgrade had a positive ring to it, intending to deliver speed, scalability, and reliability to the EOS blockchain network.
The Antelope Leap v4.0.0 upgrade is an open-source software that enables anyone to operate a node on the EOS blockchain network seamlessly.
For clarity, a node is a computer system that runs a blockchain consensus model by validating incoming user transactions and storing the data in a distributed network ledger.
Node operators use these computer systems to validate network transactions while securing a blockchain network. They earn token rewards for their contributions to the validity and integrity of blockchain ecosystems.

That said, the EOS Antelope Leap v4.0.0 upgrade was launched to optimize node performance, making it easy for anyone to carry out node operations without hassle.
Solutions the upgrade brings forward to node operators include multi-threading features to boost node performance, reduced node latency, faster block propagation, and more visibility and control.
The Leap v4.0.0 upgrade is an important milestone and achievement for the EOS blockchain ecosystem.
Node operators have been advised to upgrade their nodes to the newest infrastructure.
The price of the EOS token has responded sluggishly despite the Leap v4.0.0 upgrade launch and recent market rally, which saw Bitcoin reclaim the $29,000 price region.
At the time of writing, the third-generation blockchain token is seen trading at $1.07, according to Coinmarketcap data. This is only a slight increase from its 24-hour low of $1.02.
While BTC gained over $1600 from its 24-hour price change, EOS is still yet to notably move compared to some altcoins, largely profiting from the BTC rally.
...Bitcoin Bearish Signal: NVT Golden Cross Enters Overbought Zone "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
On-chain data shows the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has entered into the overbought region, something that could be bearish for the price.
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the most recent touch of this zone led to a drop in the price of the cryptocurrency. The Network Value to Transactions (NVT) is an indicator that measures the ratio between the market cap of Bitcoin and its transaction volume (both in USD).
What this metric tells is whether the asset is overpriced or underpriced right now, based on how the value of the network (the market cap) compares with its ability to transact coins (the transaction volume).
High values of the indicator suggest the cryptocurrencys cap is inflated compared to its volume, and hence, the coins price may be overvalued currently. Similarly, low values can imply the asset may be undervalued at the moment.
Now, a metric derived from the NVT is the NVT Golden Cross, which compares the 30-day moving average (MA) of the NVT with its 10-day MA. By taking the ratio of the long-term and short-term trends like this, the indicator can help point out the tops and bottoms in the NVT.
Here is a chart that displays how the value of the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has changed over the past year:
As shown in the above graph, the quant has marked the historical regions where the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has signaled underbought and overbought conditions for the asset.
It looks like the values of the metric above 2.2 have been a sign that the cryptocurrency is undersold, while those below the -1.6 level have implied an oversold condition.
From the chart, its visible that the indicator touched the underpriced region last month, and the price reacted by observing some bullish momentum. Since then, the metric has seen an overall uptrend.
A week or so ago, when Bitcoin was floating around the $30,000 level, the NVT Golden Cross entered inside the overpriced region. Following this formation, the price faced some severe drawdown as it plunged to the low $27,000...
Who Was Robert Plunket? "IndyWatch Feed Literature"
I might not have read a single truly funny novel that year if my friend hadnt stopped by my Los Angeles porch one afternoon carrying an out-of-print copy of Robert Plunkets comic masterpiece, My Search for Warren Harding.
We were in the worst of daysthe depths of the pre-vaccine pandemicand our world was on fire, both literally and figuratively. The copy of the novel that my friend, the writer Victoria Patterson, handed over to me looked the way we all felt in those days: yellowing, battered, dusty from too long in storage. Tory bellowed through the muffling fabric of her N95 mask that it was one of her favorite novelsand really fucking funny.
I needed funny. I opened the book a few weeks laterand despite my allergic reaction to the mold in the edition, kept reading for the next 256 pages. When I was done, I sat in a kind of silent, focused delight. I held in my hands one of the best, and most invigorating books Id read in years, and certainly the funniestand yet, how was it out of print? Why had I never heard of this novel before now? (Later I learned Tory had actually written an excellent piece about it for Tin House magazine in 2015.) Why had it disappeared so fully from the literary landscape? And what did that say about this literary landscape if it could bury a book like this? Most intriguingly: Who was Robert Plunket?
The jacket bio for Plunkets second (and, so far, last) novel, Love Junkie, published in 1992 and also out of print, reads:
Robert Plunkets first novel, My Search for Warren Harding, immediately established him as one of Americas most promising novelists. Unfortunately, the promise soon faded, and he now lives in a trailer in Sarasota, Florida, where he ekes out an existence as a gossip columnist, covering everything from gala charity balls to KKK meetings. He has also served on the boards of Sarasota AIDS Support and the Humane Society of Sarasota County, and is currently running for election to the Mosquito Control Boa...

Kelp Forests Absorb 5 Million Tons of Carbon Dioxide Every Year "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
What's the value of seaweed? A new study published in Nature Communications suggest the value of the sea plant goes far beyond sushi. Researchers valued kelp forests, forests of large brown algae, at about $465 billion and $562 billion per year worldwide due to their positive impact on commercial fisheries and the environment. This flora also absorbs 4.5 million tonnes (4.96 tons) of carbon dioxide annually, rather like forests on land.
Aaron Eger at the University of New South Wales in Australia set out with his fellow researchers to quantify the benefits of seaweed. The team focused on six kinds of kelp which grow in dense thickets known as forests. About 1,500 species of fish and marine life live in these forests. This sea life supports commercial fisheries and food supplies. They added this value to the other benefits of kelp. Kelp absorbs carbon dioxide (largely responsible for our warming planet) as well as nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural run off. This helps preserve the quality of our waters.
Testing seaweed gave researchers insight into how much the plants absorb. Much like a plant on land, [kelp forests] are taking up nutrients, theyre taking up carbon dioxide, and using light to fuel their growth, Eger said. In total, these kelp forests provide two main benefits. They support $465 to $562 billion per year of the global economy. They also sink almost five million tons of carbon dioxide. Although the current paper does not focus on it, seaweed is also a promising climate-resistant food source with the power to uplift female cultivators. This wonder plant is part of a clim...

Cardano ADA Trades Below The $0.41 Mark, Will It Break The Barriers? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Cardano (ADA) coin has captured the interest of investors and holders with its recent price drop below the $0.40 mark on April 25. This notable price dip left everyone wondering if Cardano (ADA) will break this barrier, which has proven significant in recent trading sessions.
However, today April 26, the general market is recovering as the global market cap gained over a 4.5% increase in 24 hours. The marker-wide rally has pushed ADA back to the $0.40 mark with a massive gain of 6.93% in 24 hours.
Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Plunges Over 13% Will It Bounce Back?
The ADA price has been trending downward for the past 7 days, and the coin is finally gaining momentum. Only time will tell if Cardano ADA can surpass the $0.41 resistance level and trade above it in the coming days.
The recent price fluctuation in the crypto market harmed Cardano (ADA)s price, causing a significant loss in its market capitalization.
The Cardano market cap is currently at $13.9 billion with a $267 million 24-hour trading volume. According to CoinMarketCap data, Cardano (ADA) is now the seventh biggest cryptocurrency.
Cardanos price drop yesterday, April 25, may have been caused by several variables, such as market sentiment generally and shifts in investor perceptions.
Also, the fluctuations in trading volume, regulatory announcements, or market news that impacted the cryptocurrency market may have played a huge role too. The chart below shows the potential support and resistance levels for Cardano (ADA) in 2023.
While buyers are trying to build a bullish momentum, ADA is still found at the $0.40 zone and might break the support zone of $0.38 if the sellers increase the selling pressure.
The $0.38 level of support has maintained steady during the retest earlier this week and can act as a driving force for a higher valuation. Cardanos price may surpass its resistance level of $0.42 if the bulls completely control the market.
On the other hand, if bears take control of the trend, ADAs price could fall below $0.30 and might hit $0.2777
The Simple Moving Average (SMA) indicates a potential trend reversal as the 50-day SMA changes directions. The 50-day SMA is trying to cross below the 200, forming a death cross. This action may generate a bearish signal and indicate a potential selling opportunity.

Ceramic Curiosity Clouds by Manifesto Celebrate the Natural World in Functional Organic Forms "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
The practice of assembling cabinets of curiosities, or Wunderkammers, may date back to the 16th century, but the human impulse to collect, document, study, and learn from our surroundings goes back millennia. Scottish artist Katie Rose Johnston, who works as Manifesto, celebrates the timeless pastime of collecting in her series Curiosity Clouds. Exploring ceramics at the intersection of art and history, she draws inspiration from natural phenomena and blurring the line between form and function.
Johnston was inspired to create the organic forms after a visit to The Hunterian in Glasgow, where she was fascinated by a vitrine tucked away in the rear of the museum. Displaying bird and insect nests from around the world, it included a cross-section of a termite mound featuring an elaborate network of compartments that the insects use for ventilation. It was a really compelling form that mimicked a set of printers drawers in my mothers home, which were filled with bits and bobs, mudlarked treasures, and our childhood crafts, she tells Colossal. The form of the dissected termite mound was really appealing, like a Wunderkammer from an alternate universe.
The Curiosity Clouds are made using terracotta crank, a type of textured, groggy clay that is...

XRP Trades Near Crucial Support Of $0.46, Will This Level Hold? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
During the past week, the price of XRP has suffered significant losses due to a powerful selling wave. While the one-day chart reflects a 3% increase, the weekly chart shows a decline of over 12%. Buyers have faced resistance in the $0.45-$0.46 range and the technical outlook for XRP indicates a selling trend.
The demand for this altcoin has also dropped, leading to a decrease in accumulation. Unless buyers return to the market and stabilize the price, XRP is likely to continue losing value. Meanwhile, Bitcoins price has remained uncertain over the past week, and its recent climb above $28,000 may inspire other altcoins to follow suit.
For XRP to see upward momentum, Bitcoin must maintain a price above $27,000. Furthermore, XRP must surpass the immediate resistance level to preserve its current support level. The decline in XRPs market capitalization suggests that sellers are currently in control of the market.
At the time of writing, the altcoins trading price is $0.47, and it currently stands above its critical support level of $0.46. Despite attempting to recover significantly over the past few weeks, XRP experienced considerable selling pressure in the past week.
The coin faces overhead resistance at $0.48, and breaching that level could drive the price up to $0.50. Conversely, if XRP fails to remain above $0.46, the coin may decline to around $0.42 and possibly $0.40. The amount of XRP traded in the last session was negative, indicating a decrease in demand.

Monumental Lollapalooza Sculpture Is a Towering Pine Cone Created With 95 Car Hoods "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
In the proper context, one object can completely transform into something else. Work by Argentina-based Estudio Normal is an awe-inspiring example of this phenomenon. The multidisciplinary architecture and design office created a sculpture titled Capot (Spanish for a car hood) at the center of Lollapalooza 2023 in Buenos Aires. Although at first glance it appears as a giant pine cone, the entire form was created using 95 hoods from Volkswagen Golf vehicles.
Capot is a towering sculpture that was a beacon for festivalgoers to gather during Lollapalooza. It had seating areasboth on the ground and as car hood bencheswhile acting as a unique and creative backdrop among the crowds and other goings on. Sometimes it was kept unlit and showed off its white and blue scalloped edges, while at night it was illuminated with a bright ultramarine and teal glow. The former allowed viewers to enjoy its finer details while the latter showcased its monumental collective shape.
The fabrication of the work was built with sustainability in mind. The sculpture harvested existing resources, using what was already produced and reimagining it in new and exciting ways. But there was also the question of what happened to the sculpture when its exhibition was over. For that, the design team implemented a catch and release that allowed most of the manufacturing pieces to return to the production line and lessen the environmental impact.
Capot is the first in Estudio Normal's formal research project titled Autopartes. Inspired by the automobile industrya vital part of Argentinas national economyit explores new ways to transform everyday objects by way of design and offer them a second life.

Woman Asks If Faking A Positive Pregnancy Test Is Okay to Catch Mother In Laws Snooping Ways? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
I think we can all agree that pregnancy is a sensitive issue, whether its planned, longed for, unplanned, a source of anxiety or a source of joy. Thats why people have generally also agreed that joking about being pregnant is a no-no for many reasons.
This OP was at her wits end, though, and so had to access a last resort.
Her mother-in-law is living with her and her husband, and after several little things, OP is sure the older woman has been snooping among her things.
My MIL moved in with us a month ago. I began to notice my stuff in the bedroom being touched. Furniture rearranged, stuff moved et cetera
I felt like I was going crazy because my husband is the only one who has access to the bedroom and he doesnt usually touch nor come near my things. I figured it must be his mom walking in and snooping on my personal things.
I told my husband and he said his mom would neverI had a huge hunch but couldnt instal a cam in the bedroom to catch her in act.
Her husband doesnt think that could be right, and so OP decided to prove shes right by leaving a fake positive pregnancy test in the master bath trash can.
So, I got me one of those fake positive pregnancy tests and threw it in the bedrooms trash can. note the trashcan was placed in the corner near the closet.
Not only did her mother-in-law see it, she told the rest of the family and OPs husband the good news without talking to OP or allowing her to handle the situation as she wanted.
Literally the next day after I got to work, I got tons of calls and texts from my inlaws congratulating me for my pregnancy. My husband came over to my workplace and w...

Bitcoin Price Reclaims $29,800, Driven By These Factors "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
The Bitcoin price regained the $29,000 mark today for the first time since last Thursday. The decisive impulse was provided yesterday by the news that with First Republic Bank the next big bank in the US is about to be seized by the US Federal Reserve and FDIC.
As was the case after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, the news triggered a rally for Bitcoin that initially catapulted the price above the crucial $27,800 resistance level before a brief consolidation and then continuation of the price surge took place.
With the reaction, Bitcoin is strengthening its digital gold narrative. As analyst James V. Straten predicts, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold will continue to increase as interest rates remain high and weak banks are purged. Even on a 30-day rolling average, the correlation stands at 57%, its highest level in almost 2 years.

Another reason was presented by analyst James Choi, who believes that the market is front-running the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

The market is a liquidity junkie and already pricing this in.

Chainlink Trends In The Green Zone, Will A Rally Follow? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Chainlink LINK is trading in the green today, up by over 4%, as the general market shakes off the bearish trend. It experienced a price drop from $8.8784 on April 18, 2023, to $7.7704 on April 19, and its trading volume is down by over 4% in the last 24 hours.
Chainlinks ecosystem rolled out new developmental trends and innovative partnerships. Its recent integration with the Celo ecosystem will create a framework for launching Chainlink oracles on Celo and the seamless creation of decentralized applications.
The price pullback in April hinted at the possibility of a bear market. However, the signs are positive today for LINK as its gains in the market.
According to CoinMarketCap data, the global crypto market capitalization is up by $3.58% in 24 hours. Also, the total crypto market volume is $41.50 billion, a significant increase of 15.94.
Bitcoins dominance has significantly increased in the past 24 hours. Notably, most altcoins correlate to Bitcoins price. The general crypto market outlook improved as it shows signs of recovery today.
However, the sustainability of the present positive trend largely depends on market forces and investor sentiments. LINKs current price action indicates the possibility of a rally ahead. A closer look at its performance will provide vital answers.
Chainlink Pivots At The 200-day SMA, Are We In A Bull Run?LINK is in an uptrend on the daily chart. It is building on its gains yesterday to halt the bearish trend. It bounced off the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) yesterday to begin its recovery. LINK is currently above its 50-day and 200-day SMA, with bullish sentiment in the short and long term.
Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 48.32, in the neutral zone and moving upwards. It implies that the asset will likely experience further price increases if the bulls sustain the current rally.
LINKs Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is still below its signal line and showing a negative value. The indicator reflects the bearish pressure on the asset in the past week.

As An Expression Of Pure Mathematics, Bitcoin Has Changed The Nature Of Money "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
A unique application of philosophically-derived mathematics, Bitcoin is a practical, simple and holistic solution to the problems with money.
This is an opinion editorial by Hongumart, a frontline healthcare worker.
Bitcoin is often praised for its innovative design, its resistance to censorship and corruption and its potential to revolutionize the global financial system.
But beyond these practical aspects, Bitcoin also has a deeper philosophical dimension. In this vein, Bitcoin can be seen as an expression of "pure mathematics," a manifestation of the beauty and elegance of mathematical logic and principles.
Pure mathematics is the study of mathematical concepts independent of any real-world applications. Pure mathematicians are interested in logic, basic principles and the properties and structures of abstract objects, and their findings may originate from practical problems or be put to use for practical solutions, but they are working from a more philosophical viewpoint than applied mathematicians are.
One way that Bitcoin expresses pure math is through its use of algorithms and protocols. Bitcoin relies on a set of rules and procedures that are defined by mathematical equations and functions. These rules and procedures govern how transactions are validated, how new bitcoin are created, how the network reaches consensus and how the system adapts to changing conditions. These algorithms and protocols are transparent, deterministic and verifiable. They ensure that Bitcoin operates in a consistent and predictable manner, regardless of human intervention or manipulation and are ultimately independent of any specific real-world environments or attempts at disruption.
Another way that Bitcoin expresses pure math is through its use of cryptography. Cryptography is the science of encoding and decoding information using math and it is considered by many to be one of the most powerful applications for pure mathematics. Bitcoin uses cryptography to protect the privacy and security of its users and their transactions. For example, Bitcoin uses public-key cryptography to enable users to generate unique digital signatures that prove their ownership of their bitcoin. It also uses hash functions to create cryptographic puzzles that miners have to solve in order to add new blocks to the blockchain. These cryptographic methods are based o...

Captivating Abstract Paintings Capture Natures Beautiful Fleeting Moments "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Artist Megan Elizabeth is captivated by natures fleeting moments. Dappled light is a creative focus for her, and her paintings capture glittering illumination, reflections, and shadows created by petals and leaves. The resulting works are abstract in color and arrangement, but there is a familiarity to them. If youve ever walked through a forest or next to a pond, youve likely witnessed dappled light in action.
Color is paramount in Megans paintings. Layering bright hues and textures, she expresses her awe of nature on canvas. My creative process is fluid and organic, much like the content I explore, she writes in an artist statement. The acrylic paint is applied directly to the canvas, without any underpainting or sketch below, and blended into many layers by adding white to create tonal variations of color. These layers create the effect of movement, light, and texture. Like the sounds of nature, the stroke of the brush on the canvas is soothing to me.

Solana Faces A Trend Decision, But The Bull Case Prevails "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
The price of Solana is facing an extremely important trend decision in the 1-day chart. Will the uptrend continue or will it be invalidated? The latter could threaten a drop to the psychologically important $20 level.
A look at the 1-day chart shows that SOL failed in several attempts at the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (blue) in mid-April. The indicator has an extremely high significance for the long-term trend.
While Bitcoin and numerous altcoins are already trading above the 200-day EMA, SOL is still stuck below the trend indicator as a consequence of the FTX crash. After falling below the 50-day EMA (orange) on Friday, the SOL price has fought its way back above the level today.
Still, the price is at a key support, an ascending trendline (black) that has proven directional since the December 28, 2022 low at $7.98. A retracement could wipe out the uptrend and trigger another drop to $20. On the other hand, a break above the 200-day EMA currently at $25.13 could turn the chart picture in favor of the bulls.
Solana rose to $25.96 in mid-April, but could not sustain the breakout above the 200-day EMA. In order to start a new attempt towards the north, Solana must break above $22.78 on a daily closing basis. If a stabilization above this resistance level succeeds, the buy side could again target the 200-day EMA.
Only when this major trend line is broken dynamically, the yearly high at $27.13 comes into focus, where the 38.2% Fibonacci level is also located. If the Bitcoin price also rises to a new high for the year at this point, the SOL price could shoot straight up to the $30.44 resistance level.
However, Solana is likely to make a stop here. The next target area after a consolidation would then be the 5...

37 Billion Dogecoin Holdings In Jeopardy: Price Level Investors Should Watch "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Is the future of Dogecoin in jeopardy? If the price of DOGE hovers around the $0.745 per token level, more than 30 billion tokens will be on the verge of losing their positions.
Startling new data from crypto intelligence portal IntoTheBlock reveals that more than 100,000 Dogecoin addresses are now in a precarious situation.
Will DOGE holders weather the storm or face a potential market crash?
Dogecoins current value on CoinMarketCap is $0.08028, reflecting a 24-hour increase of 1.98%. However, in the past week, the popular cryptocurrency has experienced a substantial decrease of 14%.
Investors and traders are keeping a close eye on the market to determine whether this trend will persist or if Dogecoin will see a reversal in fortune.
In a report, citing data by IntoTheBlock, some 37.2 billion DOGE were purchased in the $0.745 to $0.786 range, representing the largest of the pack near the current Dogecoin price.
The data suggests that this number represents nearly 50% of all Dogecoin purchases currently in profit, with a value of $74.38 billion DOGE.
As a result of the decline that began last Wednesday, approximately 40 billion Dogecoin has lost value compared to its initial purchase price. This volume is dispersed across over 594,000 addresses.
Exploring The Technicalities Of DOGE Profitability
The profitability of a cryptocurrency depends on the price at which an investor buys and sells the asset. When the buying price is lower than the selling price, the investor earns a profit. However, if the selling price is lower than the buying price, the investor incurs a loss.
In the case of Dogecoin, if its price drops to a certain level, approximately 34 billion DOGE will become unprofitable, meaning that investors who purchased at higher prices will experience a loss.
The price level at which this will occur is not set in stone and may vary based on various factors such as market sentiment, supply and demand dynamics, and other macroeconomic factors.
The unprofitable DOGE can lead to an increase in sell-offs, and as a result, the price could spiral downwards. This can have a domino effect on the market, causing other cryptocurrencies to also experience a decline in v...
Note: Yesterday Harry Belafonte, the civil rights activist, singer and actor, passed away at age 96. In his memory, were bringing back a post from our archive, one that features Belafonte and other legends discussing the March on Washington, back in August, 1963. The film above is now made available by the US National Archives.
On the day of the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (August 28, 1963), known today as The Great March on Washington, CBS aired a 30-minute roundtable discussion featuring Harry Belafonte, James Baldwin, Marlon Brando, Charlton Heston, Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Sidney Poitier.
The whole segment is fascinating, even and perhaps especially because the speakers pursue their sometimes divergent agendas (Heston speaks optimistically about peaceful dissent, Brando hopes the Civil Rights movement may lead to reparations for Native Americans, while Belafonte warns ominously that the United States has now reached a point of no return). But it may be Joseph Mankiewicz, the sharp-witted writer/director of All About Eve, who provides one of the discussions pithiest lines: Freedom, true freedom, he says, is not given by governments; it is taken by the people.

Lightning Network Proves More Efficient Than Credit Card Processors "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Comparing Bitcoins Lightning Network to legacy credit card processing makes it clear that Lightning settles payments much more efficiently and affordably.
The article below is an excerpt from a recent edition of Bitcoin Magazine PRO, Bitcoin Magazine's premium markets newsletter. To be among the first to receive these insights and other on-chain bitcoin market analysis straight to your inbox, subscribe now.
The traditional use of the Bitcoin network for on-chain settlement is extremely efficient by settling transactions approximately every 10 minutes. Bitcoin might be most closely related to the Fedwire Funds Service which only settles about 200 million transactions per year compared to Bitcoins trailing 1-year figure of 98.5 million transactions.
As it stands today, the Bitcoin network is on pace to settle $3.5 trillion worth of change-adjusted value over the course of 2023, for costs of just $198 million, an equivalent fee rate of 0.006% for the average transaction. While average transaction costs are obviously skewed by the largest transfers in the data set, we can look at the median transaction settlement value and account for the median transaction fee, and still see that on-chain bitcoin transactions are a tremendously efficient way to send and receive value in a trustless manner over the internet.
Despite bitcoins extreme efficiencies as a global immutable settlement network, it remained unideal for minuscule and instantaneous transfers, as the 10-minute block interval target adds a latency to the settlement of transactions. This is okay for large sums of money, evidenced by the incumbent financial system, where net settlement of funds between financial intermediaries often dont finalize for days or weeks on end think MasterCard or Visa settling their books on a net basis with a banking institution like JPMorgan.

She Called The Police On Her Husband. Did She Overreact? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
There are way too many stories on the Am I the A$$hole subreddit where men are behaving horribly and then acting confused and appalled when the women in their lives call them on it.
This story is no different, so beware.
OP is a widow with an 18yo son who was just 12 when her husband died. Shes remarried, and her new husband also has older children of his own.
Her son has always loved motorcycles, so for his 18th birthday, she spent around $7k to buy him one of his own.
I got my son a 7k motorcycle for his 18th birthday this past june. My son is obssessed with automobile and loves motorcycles. In his room he has plenty of models and posters of motorcylces of all types.
His bio dad passed away when he was just 12, now Im married to my current husband and he has kids of his own.
Her husband did not approve of the gift because of the money spent, and didnt mind telling her and her son repeatedly that they were dumb for buying it.
My husband has always been against my sons interest in motorcycles. he thinks Im encouraging him to be reckless, distracting him from school and by extension his future, and spoiling him and blowing away money by spending 7k on a motorcycle.
This caused some tension between him and my son so I told him to stop complaining about it.
Then, one day, it disappeared.
Around 2 weeks ago, my sons motorcycle went missing. We opened a police report but nothing came out of it. it just disappeared. My husband had a smirk on his face the entire time just walking around saying I told you so!, you just wasted your money!.
This was unbbearable to hear to be quite honest.

Divided by Faith: The Texas Ten Commandments School Bill Sparks Controversy "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Texas lawmakers continue to push religion into schools as proposals to display the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms mandatorily. They will also require educational establishments to grant time for prayer and Bible reading to gain more support.
Two Republicans introduced the two bills in the GOP-dominated Texas Senate. The first bill, introduced by state senator Phil King, would make it mandatory for schools to put the Ten Commandments on display. This proposal aligns with earlier legislation requiring educational institutions to place donated In God We Trust posters within their premises.
The second proposal, filed by Mayes Middleton, another Republican Texas state senator, would make way for prayer time across schools and other learning establishments. But under the bill, any policy set by the school district should make participation in these events voluntary and with consent from parents. Students could also read the Bible or other religious texts under this new proposal.
These bills, criticized for attempting to erode the separation of church and state, coincide with a ruling from the US Supreme Court last summer when Joseph Kennedy, a former public high school football coach in Washington, was fired for praying with players after a game.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the coach, stating that the school district violated Kennedys constitutional rights. The district eventually settled with the coach for almost 2 million US dollars.
Phil King cited this case in a committee hearing in the Texas Senate earlier this month after introducing his Ten Commandments bill to the upper house.
[It] will remind students all across Texas of the importance of the fundamental foundation of America, King said.
The two bills would be sent to the Texas House of Representatives for consideration. Texas lieutenant governor Dan Patrick expressed his support for these proposals, saying that these bills are one step we can take to make sure that all Texans have the right to freely express their sincerely held religious beliefs.
I believe that you cannot change the culture of the country until you change the culture of mankind. Bringing the Ten Commandments and prayer back to our public schools will enable our students to become better Texans, said Patrick, who described himself on his pe...
The Unstoppable Rise of Islam in Japan "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Japans Muslim population doubled in just over a decade.
Islam remains one of the smallest minority religions in Japan, representing around 0.15% of the 126 million people living in Japan. But that may soon change as it grows rapidly in the East Asian country.
Unlike other minority religions in Japan, notably Christianity, Islams history in Japan is relatively brief, especially compared to its longstanding record in other Asian countries such as Muslim-majority Malaysia, Catholic-majority Philippines, and Buddhist-majority Myanmar.
But with a massive 110% increase in followers from 110,000 in 2010 to around 230,000 adherents by the end of 2022, Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Japan. However, Japans neighbors like South Korea and Taiwan also experience a surge in Muslims in recent years. Chinas Muslim population is also growing steadily despite a slowing growth rate, with a projected growth rate of 28.5% from 2010 to 2030, as the Pew Research Center noted.
This exponential growth mirrors the rate at which Islam is growing worldwide. Islam is the fastest-growing religion globally, with a 1.84% growth rate and an expected population of 2.9 billion in 2050. On the other hand, Christianity and Hinduism, two of the world's biggest religions, along with Islam, have a growth rate of 1.38% and 1.52%, respectively.
The main factors that push Japans Muslim population upward are increased immigration from Muslim-majority countries and marriages between Muslims and ethnic Japanese. According to data from 2016, around 120,000 Overseas Muslims live in Japan. Most are foreign workers from Iran, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
Professor Emeritus Hirofumi Tanada, a Japanese expert on Islam, also stated that out of the 230,000 Muslims living in Japan as of 2022, 183,000 are non-Japanese Muslims who mostly came to the country as workers or students. The rest (46,000) are ethnic Japanese who converted to Islam.

New Data Reveals Most Adults in the US See Morality as Independent of God "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Most Americans and people from developed countries believe that believing in God is not necessary to become a good person according to a Pew Research Center (PRC) survey released on April 20th.
(E)ven among people who are religiously affiliated, most do not think it is necessary to believe in God to have good values, PRC concluded in its study. In most countries surveyed, half or more of people who say they belong to a religion also say it is not necessary to believe in God to be moral.
In the study, 56% of religious Americans believed someone doesnt need to believe in God to be moral and have good values, compared to 65% of all American adults and 88% of non-religious Americans with similar views.
The survey also discovered that Americans were not alone in believing there was no link between morality and religious belief. For instance, 64% of religious Canadians think its unnecessary to believe in God to be moral, while 75% of religious Australians and 86% of religious Swedes agree.
Although the differences in many surveyed countries are striking, there are still some outliers. One example is Israel, whose population is more split on the issue, with 50% of Israelis agreeing that believing in God is not necessary to be moral compared to 47% who hold opposite views.
Another example is Malaysia, positioned on the other end of the spectrum. Only 22% of Malaysians believe there is no link between morality and religious belief, compared to 78% who think otherwise.
Pew Research Centers survey also found a link between age, political affiliation, educational attainment, religious background, and belief in a connection between morality and faith in God. For example, 72% of Americans aged 18 to 29 agree that its unnecessary to be religious to be moral, compared to 59% of Americans aged 50 and above who have the same view.
In addition, left-wing people are more likely to see no connection between belief in God and morality than moderates and right-wingers. This observation was true in the U.S. and other developed countries, including Israel.
Compared to the survey Pew Research Center conducted in 2019 that surveyed 34 countries, the 2022 study focused more on developed countries, especially Western countries, Israel, and a few countries in Asia. The results from the study conducted in 2019 found that countries with a lower gross domestic product tend to believe that hav...
MATIC Price Prediction: Polygon Recovery Faces Many Hurdles "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
MATIC price is recovering from the $0.95 support zone. Polygon might rise further but there is a major barrier forming near the $1.080 zone.
In the past few days, Polygons price saw a steady decline from well above $1.12. MATIC declined below the $1.00 support to move into a bearish zone.
A low is formed near $0.952 and the price is now attempting a recovery wave, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above $0.980. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $0.975 on the 4-hour chart of the MATIC/USD pair.
The price is still trading below $1.10 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). It is now facing resistance near the $1.008 level or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.191 swing high to the $0.952 low.
If there is an upside break above the $1.008 resistance level, the price could continue to recover. The next major resistance is near $1.08 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.191 swing high to the $0.952 low.

Is Microwaving Ice Cream To Make It Softer Good or Bad? Should Things Be Frozen Twice? The Internet Responds. "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Sometimes you get serious and even scary stories when people log on to ask for opinions on r/askreddit.
Sometimes you get arguments like this one, in which one spouse thinks its ok to nuke ice cream for a few seconds to loosen it up and the other one thinks its absolutely wrong.
OP is the microwaver not for a long time, just 10-20 seconds to make it easier to scoop and thinks her husband is overreacting for calling the practice unsafe.
Short and sweet.
I hate waiting for ice cream,like Ben and Jerrys, to go soft enough to scoop, so I microwave it to melt it a bit, get what I want, then put it back.
Im not melting the ice cream to soup. Its 10-20 seconds to just take the edge off.
When guests agreed with him, though, she started to take his objections a bit more seriously.
My husband hates it because he says your not supposed to freeze things twice.

Ethereums price extended its decline below the $1,820 zone. However, ETH remained well-bid above the $1,800 level and recently started an upside correction, similar to Bitcoin from $27,000.
There was a move above the $1,825 and $1,840 resistance levels. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $1,828 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair traded above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $1,890 high to the $1,807 low.
Ether price is now trading above $1,850 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is testing the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $1,890 high to the $1,807 low.

Immediate resistance is near the $1,880 zone. The next major resistance is near $1,900. The main resistance sits near the $1,920 level.

Amboss Raises $4 Million In Seed Funding For Lightning Network Products, AI Research "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
The company plans to use the funding to further its AI research and product development for Lightning tools.
Amboss Technologies, a data analytics firm focused on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, has raised $4 million in seed funding from Stillmark and several other venture capital firms, including Valor Equity Partners, Draper Associates, Fulgur Ventures and Ride Wave Ventures.
A press release shared with Bitcoin Magazine describes how Amboss uses data, analytics and a social component to enable users to make strategic decisions on routing payments across the Lightning Network. The company says that the funding will go towards its efforts in AI research and product development. By leveraging AI and machine learning, Amboss can add intelligent decision-making tools to their product offering that will help drive node and channel management automation, the press release said.

The Decline of Fox News and Surrender to the Left "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
In 1996 Communications giant, Rupert Murdoch, from Australia created a genius move. He began a conservative news network that America was thirsting for. An unrecognized audience of patriotic Americans sick and tired of the lies of the mainstream media was born. Murdoch tapped into the lion share of an interested audience that wanted more factual news rather than the leftist spin of the Democrat owned mainstream media. Murdochs creation stole the largest percentage of the TV viewing audience quickly and Fox became the most hated and maligned news network because they told the truth.
Demonized by the Democrats
However, something began to happen as Ruperts age and allowing his two leftist sons to come in and begin dictating policies at Fox news, Unlike their conservative father they wanted Fox to lean further left and conform to the direction of the mass media already owned as a mouthpiece by the Democrats even though Fox had an audience larger than all of the main stream media supporters combined and this posed a problem for the Democrats who regularly bombarded their brain washed audiences with allegations that either Fox News was lying or that they were somehow in cahoots with the GOP. Of course, the low information voters did exactly what they were told and began to regurgitate the Democrats false narrative slogans!
Harassment
The first crack in the wall occurred when Glen Beck, who had regular and informative programs on the US Constitution was ousted from the network. Beck would have to relocate from his home state to Dallas, Texas and establish a whole new conservative network, The Blaze TV. This happened after harassment from his home town occurred, one incident where he and his wife were having a picnic and a group of hostile lefties began name calling and kicked over a bottle of wine he and his wife had opened. The leftist attacks were now in person not just on TV.

<p class="subtitle">A court case initiated by Craig Wright against 13 Bitcoin Core developers could change the way the law views open-source development.</p> <figure><a href="https://bm.b.tc/bitcoin2023-conf-tickets" rel= "nofollow"><img height="88" src= "https://bitcoinmagazine.com/.image/c_fit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTk2NDE0NDk3MjI3ODEwMjkw/bitcoin-2023-website-article-banner.png" width="620"></a></figure> <p><a href="https://bitcoindefense.org/">The Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund</a>, a non-profit organization co-founded by Jack Dorsey, Alex Morcos and Martin White, is backing 13 Bitcoin Core developers facing lawsuits by Craig Wright. The cases could potentially have major impacts on the future of Bitcoin and open-source software development. </p> <p>Eleven of the developers being supported by the Fund will file their defense on April 26. <em>Tulip Trading Limited v. Bitcoin Association For BSV & Others, in which the developers are named, stems from an alleged hack in February 2020 that resulted in the loss of 111,000 bitcoin that Wright claims to own. In February 2021, Tulip Trading issued a Letter Before Action announcing its intention to take legal action against certain Bitcoin developers to recover the allegedly lost bitcoin.</p> <p>Should the UK courts rule in Tulip Tradings favor, open-source developers could be considered fiduciaries to users of software that they have contributed to, even in projects without any formal assumption of duty or compensation for costs and associated risks. Alex Morcos, the co-founder of Chaincode Labs and the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund, said, "the Tulip Trading case threatens not only the MIT License but also the very notion of freedom of speech."</p> <p>Craig Wright has also brought a second lawsuit against Bitcoin developers in which he alleges that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, and thus owns the copyright for the Bitcoin Whitepaper and the database rights for the Bitcoin blockchain.<br> <br> Should Wright be successful, it would, in the eyes of the law, allow Craig Wright ultimate control over the Bitcoin network, a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine says. However, it should be noted that Bitcoin is a protocol and network made up of all its participants worldwide. Bitcoin can not be controlled by any one individual, institution, or government. The law cannot give anyone complete control over the Bitcoin network.</p> <p>Jess Jonas, the Chief Legal Officer of the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund, said: "We believe that these lawsuits are frivolous, but we still have to oppose them vigorously fighting for the right of developers to create free and open-source software without fear of legal retaliation.<br> <br> Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block and co-founder of the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund, said, "the outcomes of these cases are...

The Great Restoration: How Bitcoin Can Fix The Art World "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
The traditional art market is opaque, exclusive and difficult for creators to navigate. But Bitcoin could usher in a renaissance.
This is an opinion editorial by Rebel Money, a visual artist who focuses on Bitcoin themes and advocates for other artists in the space.
For centuries, the traditional art market has been dominated by established auction houses and galleries, where works of art are sold for millions of dollars. Despite its longevity, the art market has been criticized for its opaqueness, exclusivity and the difficulties faced by new collectors when navigating its intricacies. In fact, it has been described as "the most corrupt industry in the world."
Given that Bitcoin was designed to counter large, corrupt monetary policies, many wonder if it can also disrupt the shady and unscrupulous practices of the art world. If so, how might Bitcoin achieve this transformation?
From an artist's perspective in the traditional art world, comprehending the intricate economics of selling their artwork and where the funds end up is a daunting task. Unfortunately, artists are often left in the dark about the financial aspects of their craft, which can be disheartening and even exploitative.
There appears to be a deliberate effort to infantilize the artists, depriving them of a comprehensive understanding of the financial transactions involving their work, and rendering them vulnerable to manipulation by powerful intermediaries in the industry. Art galleries are not immune to such practices, as they take advantage of the complex processes involved in the purchase of artworks, which typically requires the involvement of multiple intermediaries such as banks, auction houses and art dealers.
This can create a sort of sleight of hand, making it easier for galleries to obscure the actual sale value of artwork, and resulting in the artist being kept in the dark about the true value of their work.
The murky economic model applies not just to artists but also for new collectors trying to navigate the market. Large galleries often change prices depending on who they are selling to, which can make it difficult for new collectors to acquire pieces. This tactic allows galleries to maintain control over who owns the art, limit the supply and ensure that the art will not end up in the secondary market, leading to a Cantillon-style effect.

Coinbase Files Lawsuit Against SEC Seeking Regulatory Clarity "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
The cryptocurrency firm is seeking a response to its July 2022 petition asking the SEC for formal guidance for the industry.
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has filed a legal action to ask the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to clarify regulations for the crypto industry. The filing follows a July 2022 petition from Coinbase asking the SEC to use formal rulemaking to provide guidance for the crypto sector. Coinbase claims that the SEC has not yet responded to its petition, so it has filed the legal challenge to compel the SEC to respond either positively or negatively to its request.
The Administrative Procedure Act requires the SEC to respond to Coinbases rulemaking petition within a reasonable time. If the SEC decides not to respond, Coinbase will have the right to challenge that decision in court. Coinbase does not seek to dictate the SECs response, only to require that the agency responds at all, according to a statement released by the company.
Coinbase and other crypto firms are facing potential regulatory enforcement actions from the SEC, even though the agency has not stated its position on the application of the law to the crypto sector. Coinbase asserts that regulatory clarity is long overdue for the industry, and that new rules would be a critical step to giving the public notice about what activities they can and cannot engage in.
Coinbase said it recognizes that clear rules are needed for the industry and has asked for rules to be developed. The exchanges decision to challenge the SEC is an attempt to compel basic rulemaking, according to the firm. Coinbase added that it will continue to take every step available to seek regulatory clarity until the industry gets that clarity.
Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase Paul Grewal said in a statement on Twitter that The crypto industry, and its users need clear laws and rules to follow that are built for a new technology. Enforcement actions based in inapplicable securities law arent the answer.
Coinbase has faced regulatory hurdles in the past, leading to it potential...

Intuitive Astrology: Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse May 2023 "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
The Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse arrives on May 5th, 2023. This is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse where the Full Moon enters the penumbra of Earth, slightly dimming its luminosity. While it is not as strong as a Total or Partial Lunar Eclipse, the effects of the Penumbral Eclipse magnify the Full Moon energies, making them extra intense.
Full Moon Eclipses, even penumbral ones, can bring endings, closure, and transformative events that shift us from one state of consciousness to the next. Sudden change can happen, allowing us to release the past and shift our lives in a new direction.
One thing that stands out under this May 2023 Lunar Eclipse is some of the magic symbolism and synchronicities behind it. Lets take a deeper look into what messages this Eclipse has for us, what we can expect, and how we can work in harmony with these cosmic vibrations-
The Scorpio Lunar Eclipse falls on the 5th day of the 5th month at 14 degrees of Scorpio. 14 is also connected to the number 5 (1+4), making the number 5 energies apparent and strong.
What is also interesting is the Sabian Symbol correlated with 14 degrees of Scorpio is Children Playing with 5 Mounds of Sand. Sabian Symbols are clairvoyant images downloaded by psychic medium, Elsie Wheeler for each degree of the zodiac. Astrologers have worked with these images since the 1920s, using them to bring added meaning to cosmic events.
Once again, the number 5 returns in the Sabian Symbol of this Eclipse, perhaps eluding that this is an energy we should welcome, embrace, and use to navigate these energies.
5 is a number of change, creativity, imagination, and play. 5 is also connected to the elements- earth, air, fire, water, and ether. In astrology, the 5th house is associated with the sign of Leo, love, romance, our children, and the things we do for fun.
The children playing with the five mounds of sand represent our freedom to explore and expand our higher mind. As the children play, they learn, develop, use their imagination, and integrate into the world around them. A child can be lost for hours in play, unaware of how much they are actually learning.
The Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse doesnt feel like play. It carries heavy energies that are likely to stir our deeper emotions. We may feel things from our past or hidden shadows coming up to the surface. Challenging information or even secrets may be revealed. We may find ourselves feeling raw, exposed, and a little vulnerable.
Treating these energies as something to play with is not something we would naturally consider, but all of this number 5 energy seems to point us in this direction.
While the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse may stir some deeper emotions and bring endings, we can...

Bitcoin Magazine Books Releases The Philosophy Of Bitcoin" "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
lvaro D. Maras hit Spanish Bitcoin book has been translated into English for an entirely new audience.
Bitcoin Magazine Books, the book publishing branch of BTC Inc., has announced the release of "The Philosophy of Bitcoin" by lvaro D. Mara in English. The book was originally published in Spanish in 2022 as "La Filosofa de Bitcoin" and received much attention for its unique exploration of Bitcoin's disruptive nature to civilization. Ellen Sullivan, the publisher of Bitcoin Magazine Books, said that it's a great privilege to work with lvaro and to deliver his groundbreaking work to English-speaking readers. "We plan to honor that commitment with a launch that we hope will be heard around the world. Everyone, Bitcoiners or not, should read this book."
"The Philosophy of Bitcoin" delves into the nature of Bitcoin and its political implications. The author, lvaro D. Mara, with his unique background in philosophy and law, analyzes its innovations and explains why institutions are being challenged as a result of Bitcoin's emergence. In the book, he argues that Bitcoin is comparable to other revolutionary technologies like gunpowder or the internet. Through a deep philosophical exploration, readers will learn how Bitcoin is changing the way we think about money, power, and the role of the State in society.
According to Mara, "Bitcoin redefines the right to property by making it absolute and poses a new challenge to states, opening the door to new political forms by changing the current bargaining power. If gunpowder accelerated the passage from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age, Bitcoin will help accelerate the passage to the Information Age."
"The Philosophy of Bitcoin" is available now in the Bitcoin Magazine Shop, and lvaro D. Mara will be signing copies of his book at Bitcoin 2023 at the Book Signing Booth. This is a unique opportunity for readers to meet the author and delve deeper into the ideas presented in his book. Bitcoin Magazine Books is committed to bringing high-quality, thought-provoking literature about Bitcoin to a wider audience. "The Philosophy of Bitcoin" is the latest addition to their growing catalog of Bitcoin-related books. They are excited to share this book with their readers and look forward to continuing to publish more works that explore the fascinating world of Bitcoin.
The case for regenerative platform business models "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Within the nature of regenerative platform business models is a compelling ecosystem; a value-creation-coordination model that when used well can generate a distributed and significant positive impact, thanks to network effects.
According to the World Economic Forum, 70% of new value created in the economy over the next decade will be based on digitally enabled, platform business models. Platforms are becoming an innovation in business modeling used by seven out of 10 organizations around the globe; the most important companies nowadays are platforms.
With the advent of the sharing economy, platforms have become more complex, linking multiple entities, standardizing transactions, and pooling services. These platforms have expanded their value proposition by including insurance, financing, and banking services, while creating ecosystems of third-party applications that enable producers to accomplish their work more efficiently, conveniently, and affordably in a single location.
Platform strategies make sense in bureaucratic, high-barriers-of-entry, and fragmented markets. Studying the evolution of the Platform Economy allowed me to discover some interesting patterns of where we are going; from the beginnings of the Collaborative Economy, to Web3 environments, and everything that is being built on top of it. We are in an ever-increasing scenario characterized by a major autonomy, decentralized governance, distributed production, increasing awareness of the interconnectedness and interdependence of everything, and in co-ownership.
Platforms are more efficient, economical, transparent, and scalable compared to other types of business models and organizations thanks to network effects. But, can we use them to scale regeneration?
This question led me to research the intersections between platform design and regenerative design, in the last three years, to provide a framework for designing platform strategies for regeneration.
Going a step beyond sustainability, regenerative design is the term used to describe processes that regenerate damaged ecosystems, or as a design principle. The purpose of regeneration is the same as the purpose of life itself: to create the right conditions for all kinds of life to thrive and flourish.
Regenerative design is inspired by how living systems work; to learn from and imitate them, and find solutions to problems that we encounter as humans, which nature has already solved.
For example, trees communicate with each other through the mycelium of fungus (mushrooms), and when one of...
UFO Cloud Ships or Weather Anomaly? San Antonios Mysterious Hole Punch Clouds "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Texas residents are wondering if they witnessed UFO Cloud Ships after a rare sky anomaly captured the attention of San Antonio locals. According to reports from San Antonio on January 26, 2023, an extraordinary event unfolded in the sky, leaving many witnesses baffled. Multiple sightings of "hole punch clouds," also known as fallstreak holes, were reported by locals, who captured photos and sent emails to KENS 5, a local news station. However, some UFOlogists believe that these intriguing cloud formations may not be mere natural phenomena, but rather evidence of extraterrestrial activity.

Bitcoin Magazine Launches El Salvador Cover Edition Ordinals Giveaway "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Bitcoiners will have the opportunity to show how much they disrespect banks and love Bitcoin while potentially earning a Cover Edition ordinal.
Bitcoin Magazine has launched a "Disrespectors" giveaway with the potential to win an El Salvador print magazine Cover Edition ordinal, along with a copy of the magazine. The company is inviting members of the Bitcoin community to participate in a creative media contest that evangelizes Bitcoin while dissing its incumbent competition such as banks, financial institutions and central banks.
To participate in the campaign, Bitcoin community members need to join the Bitcoin Magazine Discord and invite their friends, then publish creative media on Twitter such as photos, drawings, posters, stickers or videos that convey the campaign message, "Bitcoin will replace the banking system."
Examples include putting Bitcoin stickers on a fiat ATM or a bank's door or window, flipping off the Federal Reserve building with a Bitcoin Magazine in hand, or giving a Bitcoin Magazine to a banker or central banker inside the institution.
The campaign's launch date is April 25, 2023, and the submission deadline is May 9, 2023. Each cover to be given away has been manually plastic-wrapped and identified with a unique, numbered sticker. To be eligible to win, entrants must join the Bitcoin Magazine Discord, then create and publish content on Twitter, and use the hashtag #Disrespector in their content.
There are two ways of getting an El Salvador Cover Edition ordinal: inviting users to the Discord and putting out good social media content. The top 10 people with the most invites to the Bitcoin Magazine Discord by May 9, 2023, will each win one El Salvador Cover Edition, while the top 10 pieces of content disrespecting banks in favor of Bitcoin will each win one El Salvador Cover Edition.
"Bitcoin Magazine has three overarching ordinals collections. The first and already launched is the Historic Covers collection, which represents our flagship collectibles that honor the original, one-of-a-kind Bitcoin Magazine print run. Both the print and digital versions of those magazines and covers are limited edition and will never be reissued or re-inscribed," the launch announcement read.

Shiba Inu Lead Dev Touts Go Mode, Will Price Follow? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of Shiba Inu, has shared an exciting message with the SHIB community in the official Shibarium Telegram group today. It comes at a time when the SHIB price is facing a make-or-break moment, as NewsBTC reported yesterday.
The lead developer was responding to a user of the group who pointed out that the last Medium update on the ongoing development of the layer 2 network was made a while ago. Kusama responded that the project is progressing rapidly and that members of the Shiba Inu community already have plenty of updates:
I think the army has plenty of updates as the chain activity and all the tokens are very public. Were in go mode, not bro mode.
What exactly Kusama means by this can only be speculated. In the last medium update on Shibarium, he announced that the layer-2 technology will be released on the mainnet before the end of 2023. However, an exact date is not yet known. The latest comment by Kusama suggests that significant progress is currently being made towards the mainnet launch.
On the other hand, the Shiba Inu lead developer could just be hinting at the progress being made throughout the ecosystem. Bone Shibaswap (BONE), the governance token of the Shibaswap ecosystem, recently received a listing from the major crypto exchange OKX. In addition, Kusama recently announced the forthcoming release of ShibaSwap 2.0 in a Telegram message.
Remarkably, it is not uncommon for Kusama to use metaphors to announce progress in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Even before the numerous encrypted messages. Just yesterday, Kusama stated that he was working with Shiba Inu team members to achieve the impossible.
The deep correction in the crypto market has caused the Shiba Inu (SHIB) price to break down an ascending triangle pattern that has been developing since early March. Now SHIB is trading near the crucial support level at $0.00001005.
If SHIB breaks this level to the downside as well, the uptrend that started earlier this year would be in jeopardy. SHIB needs to stay in the trading range between $0.00001005 and $0.00001151 to avoid a break of the trend in the higher time frame.
If the bulls fail to defend the trading range, a decline to $0.00000965 would be the most likely scenario before SHIB could possibly fall back to the $0.00000855 price level.
Currently, a symmetrical triangl...
Artist Paints on Garments To Turn Them Into One-of-a-Kind Fairytale Dresses "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
From blooming flowers to a library of books, Sylvie Facons dresses bring enchanting storybooks to life. Based in France, she combines embroidery, beading, and painting to create one-of-a-kind garments that look like works of art.
Due to the level of detail in these magical gowns, it should come as no surprise that they can take hundreds of hours to complete. This is because Facon has to use her skills to embellish delicate fabrics such as tulle and silk with her illustrations. In one dress, for instance, a garden of purple flowers grows from the bodice, blooming into the straps that keep the dress in place. Another features a painting of a scenic place, which is made three-dimensional through stitching and beading.
Typically, Facon contains the most detailed elements of her designs to the bodice of the dress. However, she usually tries to connect the art that is placed there with the gown below. Oftentimes this means matching the colors, creating a pleasing transition from one section to another. This can be seen in her book-inspired garment, which makes it look like the model is wrapped in a library. Facon cleverly divides the skirt into panels. each one embellished in such a way that it looks like the spine of a book.
You can find her dresses available for purchase via Facon's website, and keep up to date with her latest creations by following her on Instagram.

Will AVAX Price Get A Lift From Avalanche NFTs? Lets Examine The Metrics "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
AVAX, the native token of Avalanche blockchain, has been making headlines lately as the Avalanche NFT transfers soared to record figures in the month of April alone.
As the blockchain world continues to expand, the surge in NFT transfers on the Avalanche network raises a burning question Will this help AVAX price go up?
Lets explore the possibilities.
The AVAX token is set to benefit from the latest surge in NFT transfers on the Avalanche network, which has seen over 2 million NFT transfers in April alone, five times greater than March.
This trend can be attributed to the blockchains fast and low-cost transactions and scalable platform, which has made it a preferred choice for NFT creators and collectors.

In April alone, the @avax network recorded over 2 million transfers 5 times more than the previous month of March! pic.twitter.com/3z59MkGUc3
Emperor Osmo (@Flowslikeosmo) April 23, 2023
The surge in Avalanche NFTs can also be traced to the popularity of blue-chip AVAX NFT collections such as Chikn and Doggerinos, which have experienced significant volume spikes in recent months, according to AVAX NFT Stats.
The growing interest in the Avalanche network has also translated into a rise in activity on dApps such as Trader Joe, a leading DEX on the network.
As a result, the Avalanche network has seen a substantial increase in transaction volume and quantity, suggesting that AVAX is poised to gain further traction in the blockchain and crypto space.
In the past month, Trader Joe has seen a 184% surge in the number of unique active wallets on its platform, reflecting the increasing demand for decentralized trading on the network.
The future appears promising for the AVAX token, as more users explore the platforms potential for NFTs and dApps.

Polygon Exchange Supply Spikes, More Downtrend Incoming? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
On-chain data shows the Polygon exchange supply has seen a sharp spike recently, something that could lead to a further downtrend for the asset.
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, around 7.92% of the entire MATIC circulating supply is on exchanges now. The relevant indicator here is the supply on exchanges, which measures the percentage of the total Polygon supply thats currently being stored in the wallets of all centralized exchanges.
When the value of this metric rises, it means the investors are currently depositing a net number of coins into exchanges right now. Since one of the main reasons why holders may transfer their MATIC to these platforms is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can have bearish implications for the price of the cryptocurrency.
On the other hand, decreasing values of the indicator imply withdrawals are taking place on exchanges currently. Such a trend may be a sign that investors are accumulating the asset at the moment, and hence, can be bullish for the price in the long term.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Polygon supply on exchanges over the last few months:
As displayed in the above graph, the Polygon supply on exchanges (colored in red) has seen a sharp jump during the past day, suggesting that these platforms have received a large amount of the asset.
In total, this inflow spike saw around 60 million MATIC entering the wallets of the exchanges. The source of this deposit looks to have been a single whale entity, which is in fact one of the largest holders of the cryptocurrency.
The cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert has also caught the transfer and has revealed that the transaction was coming from a wallet attached to the Polygon staking service, and its destination was the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.

The Governments Sprawling Effort to Censor (True) Information During the Pandemic "IndyWatch Feed Survival"
This article was originally published by Jon Militimore at The Foundation for Economic Education.
The Twitter Files exposed a lot of malfeasances, but one effort spearheaded by Stanford University and federal agencies was particularly Orwellian in both concept and practice.
In July 2022, Twitter permanently suspended Rhode Island physician Andrew Bostom after awarding the epidemiologist and longtime researcher at Brown University a fifth strike for spreading misinformation.
A July 26 tweet alleging that there was no solid evidence Covid-19 vaccines had prevented any children from being hospitalizedonly RCT data we have from children reveals ZERO hospitalizations prevented by vaccination vs. placebowas apparently the final straw.
The funny thing was, it appeared Bostoms tweet was true.
Dr. Anish Koka, a cardiologist, and writer said he was initially skeptical of Bostoms claim. But after speaking with him for more than an hour, he realized Bostom was citing the governments own data, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) briefing document that included randomized controlled trial (RCT) data on children.
Dr. Bostoms tweet appears quite correct as per the FDA documents, Koka wrote on Substack. In the RCTs available, there does not appear to be evidence that the vaccine prevented hospitalizations.
Bostoms permanent suspension was one of many anecdotes shared by journalist David Zweig in a December Twitter Files thread viewed by more than 64 million people, which exposed how the government worked with Twitter to try to rig the Covid debate.
It turns out this was not the only one of Bostoms tweets that was true but was nevertheless flagged for misinformation.
A review of Twitter log files revealed that an internal audit, conducted after Bostoms attorney contacted Twitter, found that only 1 of Bostoms 5 violations were valid, Zweig notes. The one Bostom tweet found to still be in violation cited data that was legitimate but inconvenient to the public health establishments narrative about the risks of flu versus Covid in children.
In other words, all five of Bostoms tweets that had been flagged as misinformation were legitimate. At the very least, four out of five were, and thats according to Twitters own internal audit......

Top Whistleblower Dr Rima Laibow Warns Globalists Preparing New Bio Attack "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
How is this possible? How can every single nation in the world, 196 nation-states; how could every single one of them sign on to destroying their people? To giving up their sovereignty? To eliminating any kind of personal informed consent? How can any country do that and how is it that EVERY one is doing that? The actual the source of the evil, the organization, the destruction comes from John D Rockefeller Sr and his son, John D Rockefeller Jr. Before the turn of the 20th century, the worlds first billionaire, John D Rockefeller Sr and his son, Junior thought about the society they wanted to see. Now, these men were genocidalists, they were eugenicists, they were ruthless, they were psychopaths. They had the realization that they could use predatory philanthropy to shape every aspect of the world. And they laid out the world that they wanted to see which is the world the Globalists are now moving towards. The social movement at that time was called Fabian Socialism, it was not called Globalism but it was the same thing: Utter, total domination, from the DNA level, out. They paid for the science and they directed the science and they used philanthropy and government influence, which they bought and which they created over decades and decades, worldwide. They penetrated every government on the planet and they created the science that would allow them to take control of our DNA, to turn us into parts of the Internet of Things; their servants, their underclass, their Untermenschen and leave them at the top, the neoaristocrats. This plan has been in operation, waiting only the science of genetic manipulation, pulsed microwave transmission, nanotechnolgy, etc. And now, they have the science and theyre ready to go.Dr Rima sa...
Susannah Carson Evokes the Amorous Tradition of the Lovers Eye Through Antique Plate Paintings "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
On vintage serving ware and ornately decorated plates, artist Susannah Carson renders fragmented portraits of women who peer out from the center of the vessels. The oil paintings evoke the Georgian tradition of the lovers eye, sentimental miniatures depicting the facial features of a spouse, child, or family member often found on jewelry of the time. These tiny works would also allow the wearer to obscure the exact identity of the subject, making them ambiguous keepsakes for affairs and other clandestine activities.
For Carson, this amorous practice becomes the basis of inquiry as she imagines her lively characters, their stories, and how they connect to the history of such unconventional canvasesan avid antique collector, shes currently working on an illustrated guide on the process, as well as a series of paintings paired with the antiques they depict. Blending past and present, her pieces highlight the unknown, whether the lineage of the vessel itself or the identity of the subject. She explains:
Im interested in painting as not just an optical illusion, but as an illusion of lifeof otherness, of richness, of engagement, of that delicate connection we have with other beings which allows us to feel, for a moment, not so alone. With compositions highlighting the gaze, these subjects tell us their stories with a single look and ask for us to tell them our stories in return, thereby creatingunlike the alienation of much modern arta welcoming intimacy.

Polygon (MATIC) Continues To Plunge; Why Are The Bears Still Dominant? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Polygon (MATIC) is below the $1 mark today as the bears continue to pressure its price. From April 19, 2023, it moved into a downtrend gradually to its current price level of $0.966 today.
The recent price volatility and decline experienced by Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to have a ripple effect on other tokens in the market. However, MATIC remains above its January 1 price of $0.76 despite the decline, holding onto most of its gains.
Nevertheless, a sweep of previous lows remains possible if the bears maintain their charge. Investors and the general crypto market hope the current decline is a minor correction, not a downtrend similar to the crypto winter of 2022.
Some major cryptocurrencies are in a downtrend, excluding a few altcoins with minor gains. The impending US rate hikes and other factors, such as rising bitcoin mining difficulty, could affect the market negatively.
Related Reading: Floki Inu Joins Binance.US And Surges By 50% As Investors Pile In
Polygon ranks number 9 on the list of cryptocurrencies and is a platform for Ethereum scaling. Also, with the recent upgrades, users can create Optimistic Rollup chains and ZK Rollup chains as required by the developer. Its multi-functionality is one of the reasons its community is optimistic about a rally in the coming weeks.
MATIC is in a downtrend forming a third consecutive red candle on the daily chart with lower lows. It has dropped below its 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), a bearish trend in the short and long term. MATIC moved into the downtrend on April 19, forming a long red candle that closed below the 50-day SMA.
Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 31.91, descending into the oversold region of 30. It implies that the bears are in control of the assets price. However, MATIC is approaching the $0.9321 support level, which previously acted as a pivot point on January 1, 2023. MATICs RSI will move to the oversold region when its touches this level forcing the bulls to rally again.
Expect a price increase once the asset enters the overbought zone. The next support level is $0.7472; the resistance levels are $1.026 and $1.1914. Also, the $1 price level has become a psychological resistance point.

I know my husband cheated on me during the pandemic.
For some context, we were actually stuck apart for almost 2 years with covid, and at the same time I was also waiting for my green card which meant I couldnt visit him.
He overcame to visit me once during this 2 years and I saw he had a dating app on his phone. I checked the messages and there one lady on there, and it was obvious from the messages that they had met up for s**. It looked like it was only once and there wasnt a whole lot of messages.
I never confronted him about it and I dont really want to. Since Ive been in the states nothing else has gone on, and hes super attentive and loving and no dating apps on his phone or computer.
I feel that if I told him I know, or told any friends or family they would push for me to leave him or think I was an idiot if I didnt. We have a baby boy now and I would never want to disrupt his family life over something which I perceive to be a one night stand that didnt mean anything.
