The amygdala is a region of the brain involved in emotion regulation, memory and decision-making. So, pyroptosis in this area could be indicative of neurological damage or inflammation, potentially affecting emotional regulation, behavior, and cognitive functions.
This could be relevant in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries or infections that impact the central nervous system, leading to various neurological and psychiatric implications....<<<Read More>>>...
Anomalies should be understood as UFOs – first of all, those that have been “outrageous” in the US sky for several years next to aircraft carriers, fighters and other military installations.
A little
earlier, General Glen VanHerck, head of the North American Aerospace
Defense Command (NORAD), spoke in a similar “ufological” spirit. He
stated that the Pentagon does not abandon the version that UFOs or UAPs,
in current terminology, were created by aliens....<<<Read More>>>...
Although they accept that demand is rising with increasing population, one of the main reasons they give is, you guessed it, climate change!
Their report not only claims that summers will be drier, but that these impacts are already being felt. This claim is, however, bogus. Summers are no drier nowadays than they have been since 1840. Neither, for that matter, are they any wetter. We merely see the year-to-year variability we have always seen.
Moreover, across the year as a whole rainfall levels have been trending higher in the last 30 years. Water tables and reservoirs should, in theory, be fuller as a result, not lower.
How do they think they can get away with such bare-faced lies?
They are clearly desperate to deflect attention away from the role
that mass immigration is playing in water shortages, even though they
now assume population in England will rise by 8million in the next 30
years....<<<Read More>>>....
His work focused on analyzing radar signals from missile systems to understand their capabilities, much like figuring out how a car’s engine works by listening to its sound.
Ramirez in an interview on Area 52 revealed, that the radar systems he monitored detected unusual signals during Soviet ballistic missile tests.
“The
systems that I was assigned did detect anomalous signatures when they
were tracking ballistic missiles of their own manufacture. They were
accompanied by strange lights, strange objects,” he said....<<<Read More>>>...
For myself, this was a big part of how I began to awaken to other ways of exploring myself and our world. I became very curious about what was driving my thoughts, experiences, and even what happens in society.
This way of thinking, being and knowing birthed CE in 2009. This is also where the concept of spiritual intelligence (SQ) comes into play. No, it’s not about how much you know about the 3rd, 4th and 5th dimensions of consciousness or where your chakras are, it’s a way of being that takes into account the wholeness of YOU as a human.
Let’s dive into it.....<<<Read More>>>...
The UK’s new “assisted dying” bill has been passed despite concerns and objections from various people and organisations.
It’s comparable to
the Nazi’s Aktion T4 euthanasia programme, which normalised and accepted
the killing of innocent lives by healthcare professionals for the
perceived greater good.
In the following, Jonathan Engler draws
parallels between the new bill, the Nazi programme and other events,
such as the euthanasia of patients in New Orleans after Hurricane
Katrina, highlighting the dangers of diminishing the value of life and
accepting killing as a legitimate part of healthcare....<<<Read More>>>....
Known as the Buga Sphere, the small metal object was seen zigzagging over Colombia in March before landing and being recovered. Scientists in Mexico, analyzing the sphere, found fiber-optic wires inside, suggesting it can send and receive signals.
At a June 20
conference hosted by controversial UFO researcher Jaime Maussan,
attendees—including U.S. Congressman Eric Burlison and ufologist Dr.
Steven Greer—learned that “fake policemen” attempted to break into the
vault holding the sphere....<<<Read More>>>....
The cabinet proposed law, which targets widely used messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram, would authorize the use of a tool known as source TKU (telecommunications surveillance at the source). The software enables authorities to bypass encryption by monitoring conversations directly on suspects' devices.
Under the newly approved legal framework, authorities can deploy malware known as the Bundestrojaner to intercept encrypted communications on mobile phones and computers even when individuals are not suspected of any crime, provided that all other investigative tools have been exhausted.
The amendments span several key laws, including the State Protection and Intelligence Service Act, the Security Police Act and the Telecommunications Act. Government documents outline two core aims: preventing serious constitutional threats that carry a potential sentence of at least 10 years, and enabling the monitoring of encrypted digital communication.
Karner promised that the use of spyware would be tightly regulated. A panel of three judges would have to approve any surveillance request and the number of individuals targeted annually is expected to remain between 25 and 30. Surpassing that limit would require mandatory reporting to Parliament. If encrypted surveillance exceeds 30 cases in one year, the Interior Minister must notify a permanent subcommittee of the National Council, Austria's lower house of Parliament...<<<Read More>>>....
If you define the level of an advanced civilisation by how much freedom its citizens experience in their day to day lives – along with the protection of individual liberties as we have come to expect in the 21st century – then the march of the mass surveillance state over the last 15 years should be of serious concern. Despite public pleas from our leaders that, ‘if only we pass this next law or security measure’, or ‘if we can just launch one more month of airstrikes’, or ‘if the public will allow just a bit more access to their personal information…’ and so on, the state and its corporate partners have developed a firm grip on power over, and intrusions into, our personal lives that is only increasing.
In the West, a type of cognitive dissonance has already set in regard
to this and other related issues – partly due to the sheer dominance of
the ‘war on terror’ and national security narratives that overtook
society after 11 September 2001. Since then, it seems that every six
months or so the narrative is revised; as one perceived threat subsides,
another emerges in its place....<<<Read More>>>...
The world is an increasingly dangerous and frightening place. Existential problems are coming at an unprecedented rate and, to the innocent observer, no one seems to be in charge.
Most people do not know what has happened, is happening and is about to happen, and the reason for that is simple: we no longer have a free press.
The truth is heavily
censored and truth-tellers are lied about, abused, threatened,
censored, banned and demonised. Self-described fact-checkers are paid by
government agencies and corporations with vested interests. Their job
is to suppress the truth and demonise the truth-tellers.
Everything
bad is happening on purpose. Everything is deliberate. The aim is to
destroy our comfort; and to destroy our physical, mental and spiritual
health.
The conspirators want to kill and control.
Many strange things are happening and it sometimes seems as though we are living in an alien world. This is no accident.
We
must all be constantly aware that everything that is happening is part
of a plan to distract, to terrify, to confuse and to bewilder us with a
barrage of disinformation and misinformation and plain, old-fashioned
propaganda. Governments and their agents are constantly using psyops
(psychological operations) to control and mould their populations. There
are repeated attempts to classify so-called conspiracy theorists as
terrorists. And there have been, and still are large factions within
governments which want those who question vaccination to be labelled and
treated as terrorists....<<<Read More>>>...
According to several reports, the Commission seeks to formalize partnerships with several countries, including Ukraine, Moldova, the Western Balkans and several Latin American nations, to advance the mutual recognition of digital IDs and other electronic trust services.
Key provisions of the plan include strengthening alignment with countries such as India, Brazil, Egypt and Uruguay in areas of digital identity interoperability and content regulation. The document highlights the United Nations (UN) Global Digital Compact as a shared framework to guide these collaborations, advocating for common standards on digital identity and online speech regulation.
The strategy also ties into the enforcement of the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA), a sweeping regulatory framework that imposes strict compliance obligations on online platforms. The DSA includes child protection measures, but these are frequently used to justify broader content moderation, identity verification requirements and censorship under the guise of safeguarding public discourse....<<<Read More>>>....
And today, we admire and explore the amazing monuments built thousands of years ago, trying to answer some of the most important historical questions: how did civilizations that we used to think of as primitive managed to design and embody all this in stone?
How did
they manage to transport massive blocks weighing up to a hundred tons?
And most importantly – why are so many monuments structurally similar to
each other, although they are literally located at different ends of
the Earth?...<<<Read More>>>...
The gov.uk site, used by millions for essential services such as tax returns and passport renewals, will see its traditional black masthead turned blue and its ‘dot’ coloured turquoise.
The tweaks were commissioned as part of “brand refresh” with contracts totalling £532,000 handed to global ad agency M&C Saatchi.
The costly new logo, set to go live this month, has already met with ridicule from civil servants, with one mocking online: “Did someone really get paid to move a dot?”
Others labelled it “cheap”, “tacky” and “absolutely diabolical”.
Zia Yusuf, head of Reform UK’s efficiency drive, last night branded the revamp a waste of public money.
He said: “The disrespect for taxpayers’ money continues to be astounding.
“Spending more than £500,000 on changing a logo on a government website is a joke at the taxpayer’s expense, quite literally.
“This is just the kind of thing we have been uncovering in county halls on a daily basis. It’s abundantly clear that Whitehall also needs a visit from Reform’s DOGE team.”
Two contracts for the brand refresh were tendered by the previous Conservative government and carried on under Labour, according to publicly available papers.
Communications giant M&C Saatchi secured deals potentially worth up to £750,000.
A government source said the final bill came to £532,000, which the cost drawn from existing department budgets.
The new logo was criticised on web forums used by civil servants....<<<Read More>>>...

1. There is no life after death. Death is the total extinction of consciousness.
2. Life after death continues on earth (through reincarnation).
3. Life continues after death on another plane than that of earthly reality (such as in heaven or hell).
If we’re going to talk about this subject at all, we can rule out the first option categorically, especially since practically every culture and religion teaches that there is some form of life after death. There are many discussions of the evidence for the afterlife, and while this is a fascinating subject, it’s out of the scope of this article.
Which, then, of the two remaining options is most likely? Usually these are simplistically conceived. You reincarnate: depending on your karma, you come back down to earth to live again as a sage or a stockbroker. Or you are judged before the heavenly throne and are sent up to heaven or down to hell once and for all.
The Gnostics, the mysterious esoteric teachers of the early centuries
of the Common Era, had their own perspective on the afterlife. Although
their teachings have been all but lost, enough material remains so that
we can reconstruct them. If we do, we will reach some valuable insights
not only about some elements of the later Western occult traditions but
about the project of spiritual liberation....<<<Read More>>>...

Laughter is good medicine, and we all have this medicine available to us whenever we recall a funny story or act in a silly way. We magnify the effects of this medicine when we share it with the people in our lives. If we are lucky, they will have something funny to share with us as well, and the life-loving sound of laughter will continue to roll out of our mouths and into the world.
Of course, it is also important to allow ourselves to be serious and
to honor that side of ourselves so that we stay balanced. After a great
deal of merriment, it can actually be a pleasure to settle down and
focus on work, or take some time for introspection until our next round
of fun begins. (Daily OM)
Gone is the Britain of Christianity and the Church as a core component of British identity, and moral judgement has become utilitarian, about what is convenient, disconnected from any traditional, let alone transcendental, set of values.
Fast receding is the Britain of real state capacity and national ambition, as we move from Victorian St Pancras to the hole in the ground at Euston, from the first nuclear power station back to the windmill.
He blames in part the mass migration of the last 10 to 20 years,
transforming London into a foreign city. But, more important he argues,
is the rise of secular progressivism that has “turbo-charged into
aggressive wokeism, with its belief that the historical past is
irrelevant and probably actively immoral, and its determination to
produce heaven on earth by releasing people from one inherited
constraint after another, including finally those of biology itself”....<<<Read More>>>...
Altman’s blog created a buzz on social media, with many speculating about what new development had caused Altman to write those words and others accusing Altman of shameless hype. In AI circles, “takeoff” is a term of art. It refers to the moment AI begins to self-improve. (People debate about “slow take off” and “fast take off” scenarios. Altman titled his blog “The Gentle Singularity,” so it would seem Altman is positioning himself in the slow—or at least, slowish—takeoff camp.)
In the blog, Altman made it clear he was not yet talking about completely automated self-improvement. Rather, he was talking about AI researchers using AI to help them develop yet more capable AI. “We already hear from scientists that they are two or three times more productive than they were before AI,” he wrote. “We may be able to discover new computing substrates, better algorithms, and who knows what else. If we can do a decade’s worth of research in a year, or a month” then the rate of AI progress will accelerate from its already rapid clip.
Altman allowed that “ of course this isn’t the same thing as an AI system completely autonomously updating its own code, but nevertheless this is a larval version of recursive self-improvement.”
But, as Altman is probably aware, there are a growing number of AI researchers who are in fact looking at ways to get AI to improve its own code....<<<Read More>>>...
