How the Body Clears Energy
Whole-self well-being is, in part, the result of a harmonious flow of energy between our physical and mental selves. When this flow is thrown out of balance for any reason, the body and mind react to one another, rather than act cooperatively. Ongoing stress, sadness, anxiety, excitement, and fear can overwhelm the cerebral self, causing traumatic energy to be channeled into the body. The body then responds by taking steps to organically dispel the energy that has burdened it — expressing it by means of physical symptoms such as illness, fatigue, or disease. In some cases, these symptoms can simply be allowed to run their natural course, and recovery will come about naturally. In most instances, however, health and wellness can only be restored by a dual course of treatment that acknowledges both the physical manifestations of energy clearing and the underlying emotional causes.
Many of the ailments we experience over the course of our lives can be indicative of the body’s attempts to process intellectual and emotional energy. Swollen glands, for example, can signal that you are going through a period of emotional cleansing. Even something as simple as a pimple can indicate that your body is ridding itself of toxins and old energy. In Chinese medicine, intense emotions are held in the body’s organs as a matter of course — grief lurks in the lungs, anger inhabits the liver, fretfulness lingers in the heart, worry is held in the stomach, and fear lives in the kidneys. Particular illnesses and symptoms represent the body’s attempts to clear emotional energy. Coughs or bronchitis can signify that the physical self is clearing away grief, while a loss of appetite may signal that worry is being actively addressed.
When you feel ill or imbalanced, treating your whole self, rather than treating the physical self alone, can empower you to determine the root cause of sickness. When you understand that your physical symptoms may be an expression of emotional discomfort, you can establish a balanced treatment regimen to ensure that you quickly recover your good health.(Daily OM)
From The Ridiculous To The Sublime - "Council Insists Women Be Called “People With Ovaries”"
Bristol City Council has been accused of offending women with “virtue-signalling madness” after claiming that legally defining sex as biological “misgenders trans people” and could lead to discrimination.
Officials also argue that the term “maternity” should be scrapped and replaced with “paternity” to avoid offending trans people, despite the latter meaning “the fact of being a father”.
They also demand support for biological men who want to “chestfeed” babies, despite questions about whether the practice is harmful.
The comments were made in a 39-page response to a consultation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on updates to its guidance, following the Supreme Court ruling in April this year that sex in equality laws refers to biological sex.
The guidance, which is waiting final approval by Ministers, is understood to state that trans women cannot be admitted to women’s single sex spaces.
Bristol City Council, whose Green Party leader Tony Dyer has criticised the Supreme Court ruling, raised a number of objections, including urging the EHRC to drop gendered language when referring to pregnancy, maternity and breastfeeding.
They wrote that “not all pregnant individuals would use the pronouns ‘she/her’” and so it could add “emotional and psychological distress” for “trans men, non-binary, gender diverse or intersex individuals”....<<<Read More>>>...
Starmer’s digital ID: Here’s how it has unfolded; do not give in to “papers please” dystopia
It is the Hegelian dialectic: Problem-Reaction-Solution. They create a problem to generate a public reaction and then provide a pre-planned solution that achieves a desired outcome, which would have been difficult to implement without the preceding psychological conditioning. It is all according to a plan they had from the outset. What is their plan? Social control.
As The Good News Today concluded: “Beware the Hegelian dialectic. When used by the wrong hands – and minds – it can be devilishly evil.”
UK government guidance published on 13 November 2023 and last updated 1 November 2024: We’re working to help people securely prove who they are without having to present physical documents.
The government is enabling the use of trusted digital identity services in the UK. Digital identities give people another way to securely prove things about themselves, such as who they are or what their age is, without having to present physical documents. This work is led by the Office for Digital Identities and Attributes (OfDIA), which is part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
The government is also rolling out GOV.UK One Login, a more straightforward and secure way for people to prove their identity and access government services online.
The Data (Use and Access) Bill includes measures to establish a statutory footing for digital verification services without creating a mandatory digital ID system or introducing ID cards....<<<Read More>>>...
Study reveals 90% of daily life runs on autopilot – Here’s how to take back control
Habits often align with personal intentions, making them powerful tools for positive change rather than obstacles.
Environmental cues trigger 65% of behaviors, meaning small adjustments can create lasting improvements.
Strategic habit tweaks, like stacking or disrupting cues, can significantly enhance health and well-being.
Working with your brain’s autopilot, not against it, is the key to effortless, sustainable change.
You wake up, brush your teeth, grab coffee, scroll through your phone, and drive to work—all before 9 a.m. How much of that did you actually think about? According to a groundbreaking new study, the answer is almost none of it.
Researchers tracking 105 people for a week found that 88% of daily actions happen automatically, driven by habit rather than conscious choice. Even more surprising? Most of these automatic behaviors align with our intentions—meaning our brains are already working for us, not against us....<<<Read More>>>...

Allowing Others to Walk Their Paths
10th%20May%2008-080.JPG)
The events and circumstances that shape our lives are unique because each of us is unique. What touches one person deeply may do nothing more than irritate or confound another. Therefore, each of us is drawn to different paths — the paths that will have the most profound effects on our personal evolution. If you feel compelled to intervene when watching another human being make their way slowly and painfully down a difficult path, try to empathize with their need to grow autonomous and make their own way in the world. Should this person ask for your aid, give it freely. You can even tell them about your path or offer advice in a conscious loving way. Otherwise, give them the space they need to make their own mistakes, to enjoy the fruits of their labors, to revel in their triumphs, and to discover their own truths.
The temptation to direct the paths of others is a creature of many origins. Overactive egos can convince us that ours is the one true path or awaken a craving for control within us. But each person is entitled to seek out their path, leading from the darkness into the light. When we celebrate those paths and encourage the people navigating them, we not only enjoy the privilege of watching others grow — we also reinforce our dedication to diversity, independence, and individuality.

School Accused of “Brainwashing” Children After 14 Year-Olds Told to Read Book “Blaming Them for Their White Skin”
James Farquharson claims students were being fed “partisan political views” after the novel, The Hate U Give, was added to the Year 10 reading list at Budmouth Academy in Weymouth, Dorset.
The 53 year-old said the book was making some students feel guilty about being white and left his daughter “embarrassed and uncomfortable” after was told to read it out loud.
He has also accused the school of double standards as it has a zero-tolerance stance on swearing yet the book is littered with four letter expletives, including the F-word repeated 89 times.
The US novel, which has since been removed from the school’s reading list, follows an African-American girl who speaks out after witnessing a white police officer shoot her childhood friend.
Mr Farquharson said he has also questioned the appropriateness of another book that was being read out aloud by children aged 12.
He said the book, called Pigeon English, explores sexual themes including female masturbation and is so “creepy” it raised safeguarding concerns for the children reading it.
The books are part of the Drop Everything and Reach (DEAR) initiative which aims to get people to read for a short period everyday.
Mr Farquharson has now written to the Headteacher at Budmouth Academy seeking an urgent review of the titles on the school’s reading list....<<<Read More>>>...
Propylene Glycol Monostearate (PGMS): A legal but toxic food additive under the radar
Despite being FDA-approved, PGMS has been linked to kidney and liver toxicity, endocrine disruption, metabolic issues and potential contamination with heavy metals and industrial solvents.
It is found in many processed foods like baked goods, desserts, snack foods, dairy alternatives and fast food items, especially in commercial breads, pastries and ice creams.
PGMS offers zero nutritional benefits. It exists solely to serve food manufacturers by improving product stability and shelf life, not consumer health.
Choose homemade or organic foods, clean-label brands using natural emulsifiers (like sunflower lecithin) and detox your diet by eliminating highly processed foods.
In today's processed food landscape, emulsifiers, stabilizers and synthetic additives lurk in nearly every packaged product. One such ingredient, propylene glycol monostearate (PGMS), is a widely used emulsifier that helps blend oils and water in baked goods, desserts and processed foods. Despite its ubiquity, this chemical raises serious health concerns, such as kidney and liver toxicity, endocrine disruption and long-term metabolic harm....<<<Read More>>>...
The New York Times publishes a scary but false narrative of a climate crisis in Europe
The NYT reports that 24,400 deaths were attributable to the season’s heat, compared to just 8,000 in a counterfactual world generated by computer model algorithms absent greenhouse gas emissions. To support its claims, the NYT quotes and cites the work of Dr. Malcolm Mistry of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who concludes that Europe’s inability to keep pace with global warming shows a dangerous vulnerability, saying “nearly all heat-related deaths are preventable.” The NYT story further cites earlier research that estimated 61,000 people died during the 2022 summer heat across the continent, half of which it attributed directly to climate change.
The NYT framing is deeply misleading. The first problem is that Mistry’s analysis, by the article’s admission, has yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This means it’s nothing more than an unsubstantiated opinion. Instead, Mistry’s analysis relies on modelled “early estimates” extrapolated from past mortality rates and climate model counterfactuals. That means the 24,400 figure is not based on actual death records, but on computer simulations. As anyone who has followed climate science closely knows, computer models are seriously flawed and can be tuned to yield virtually any desired outcome. Models’ projections are not equivalent to hard observational evidence.
In an attempt to frighten its readers, the NYT also omits crucial context, specifically that while heatwaves can indeed cause tragic deaths, data shows they aren’t becoming more common or severe and far more people die from cold than heat. A comprehensive study in The Lancet covering data from 43 countries found that cold weather kills about ten times more people than hot weather. Europe, with its long, harsh winters, is especially vulnerable to cold-related mortality. This reality undermines the constant focus on summer heat as though it were the primary temperature-related health threat. If policymakers are genuinely concerned with saving lives, reducing cold-weather deaths should be a far higher priority than sensationalising seasonal heatwaves...<<<Read More>>>...

Digital ID: Vietnam to delete 86 MILLION 'unverified' bank accounts
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) are calling it a "system clean-up measure".
This "clean up" is part of the government's "digital transformation" plan, a drive to "modernise" the country's information infrastructure, and more specifically a drive to promote non-cash payments.
Speaking at a press conference promoting "Cashless Day" earlier this year, Pham Anh Tuan, Director of the Payment Department at the SBV called it "a data-cleansing revolution".
Central to this "revolution" is the new "Decree on Regulations for Electronic Identification and Authentication", passed in July of 2024 and coming in to force July 1st of this year.
Under this new law, all bank accounts - corporate and personal - need to be biometrically verified in one of two ways:
1. Using an NFC chip-based identity card, where the facial image is stored in the embedded chip.
2. Through a level 2 account in the government's VNeID app. A level 2 account requires submission of a fingerprint scan. Any bank account not verified in this way by September 1st was subject to freezing, and then termination.
So, here we are. 86 MILLION bank accounts forfeited and shut down. What is the justification?...<<<Read More>>>...
The Effect of Not Doing
For example, when we neglect to recycle, speak up, vote, or help somebody in immediate need, we are denying ourselves the opportunity to be an agent for positive change. Instead, we are enabling a particular course to continue unchallenged, picking up speed even as it goes along. By holding the belief that our actions don’t make much of a difference, we may find that we often tend to forego opportunities for involvement. Alternatively, if we see ourselves as important participants in an ever-evolving world, we may feel more inspired to contribute our unique perspective and gifts to a situation.
It is wise to be somewhat selective about how and where we are using our energy in order to keep ourselves from becoming scattered. Not every cause or action is appropriate for every person. When a situation catches our attention, however, and speaks to our heart, it is important that we honor our impulse to help and take the action that feels right for us. It may be offering a kind word to a friend, giving resources to people in need, or just taking responsibility for our own behavior. By doing what we can, when we can, we add positive energy to our world. And sometimes, it may be our one contribution that makes all the difference. (Daily OM)
Sun and Cosmic Rays Drive Climate, Not CO2, Says Astrophysicist
Pressure from climate activist circles against scientists who dare to approach the issue scientifically can sometimes even get physical. Svensmark recalls a conference in Germany at which he gave a presentation that required police protection, since demonstrators wanted to storm into the conference hall.
On another occasion, glue was poured into the door locks of the conference building to prevent participants from entering, and graffiti was sprayed on the building, saying it was a Nazi gathering. “There’s nothing rational about such actions, and it is difficult to have a meaningful discussion. You also hear people saying that the science has been done. Now it’s only climate action that is needed,” Svensmark says, noting that such statements are nothing but propaganda....<<<Read More>>>...
People may love freedom, but they don’t always love the responsibility that freedom demands
Freedom, Tocqueville warned, can be quietly eroded in democracies not by force, but through the voluntary surrender of personal responsibility to the state, leading to a “subtle surrender of freedom” where people, seeking security, relinquish their autonomy.
This psychological shift, driven by a desire to avoid the burdens of choice and the anxiety of uncertainty, results in a passive citizenry dependent on government, ultimately undermining the very foundations of a free society....<<<Read More>>>...
Solar geoengineering: Expert testimonies urge global ban
On September 16, Roger Pielke Jr., a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, testified before the subcommittee, urging the United States to lead an international effort to prohibit solar geoengineering. "We have one Earth, and experimenting on it carries considerable risks," Pielke emphasized, likening such endeavors to "risky gain-of-function research on viruses with uncertain benefits and catastrophic risks." Pielke was supported by over 500 scientists and academics who signed an open letter in January, advocating for a formal international prohibition on these technologies. They argued that no outdoor experimentation should be conducted until rigorous scientific testing and monitoring systems are in place. This call for a ban highlights the significant uncertainties surrounding not only the efficacy of geoengineering but also the assumed anthropogenic cause of climate change....<<<Read More>>>...
Starmer will unveil digital ID scheme at Labour’s conference as he bids to tackle migrant crisis – but critics brand cards ‘dystopian’
They need the digital ID to capture us in their planned dystopian prison.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to unveil plans to introduce digital identification cards for people living in the UK at the Labour Party conference this month.
The PM has been 'exploring' the idea in recent weeks and, while finer details of the scheme are supposedly still being ironed out, an announcement could come as early as the annual meet, which begins on September 28.
Starmer is determined to plough ahead with scheme, which is part of efforts to overhaul the country's asylum and immigration system, according to a report by the Financial Times.
The Labour government is under pressure to curb record migrant arrivals crossing the Channel in small boats, while also addressing the strain of housing tens of thousands of asylum seekers.
One option under consideration would give digital IDs to all people legally entitled to reside in Britain, whether citizens or those with legal immigration status, a source briefed on the matter told the newspaper.
The digital ID could be used for employment verification and rental agreements, though the government may still narrow the scope or revisit the plan, they added.
Earlier this month, the PM said that digital IDs could 'play an important part' in making Britain less attractive to illegal migrants.
However critics of the scheme warned it could turn the country into a 'dystopian nightmare' if people are forced into ID checks 'to go about our everyday lives'....<<<Read More>>>....
North Sea ‘Has Three Times More Oil and Gas’ Than Government Claims
That is more than three times larger than the four billion barrels estimated to remain in place by Ed Miliband’s offshore regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA). …
The actual amounts could be even larger. The NSTA itself estimates that there could be an additional 15 billion barrels in unexplored areas outside of existing fields.
The UK’s offshore operators have extracted 47 billion barrels of oil from the North Sea, Irish Sea and Atlantic waters over the last five decades. Annual output peaked at about 243 million tonnes in 1999 but since then it has steadily declined, reaching 60 million tonnes last year....<<<Read More>>>...

The invisible poison: How pesticides in the sky are turning rain toxic
A study confirmed that clouds contain numerous pesticides, with concentrations at times exceeding safety limits for drinking water, turning rain into a vector for contamination.
Chemicals evaporate,
travel vast distances in the atmosphere and fall back to earth in
precipitation, meaning local pesticide use becomes a worldwide problem
that ignores borders.
The discovery of long-prohibited
substances like atrazine in clouds reveals these compounds are
incredibly durable and continue to cycle through the environment long
after their use has been outlawed.
This contamination
exposes everyone to pesticides linked to serious health issues,
including cancers, neurological disorders and infertility, with children
being particularly vulnerable.
The study highlights a
failure of regulatory frameworks, which do not account for the global
transport of pesticides or the dangerous combined "cocktail effect" of
multiple chemicals, demanding an international, precautionary approach. ...<<<Read More>>>...

Negative to Positive Self-Talk
Once we have recognized the negative narratives at play, we can begin the process of releasing them. This requires a blend of compassion and commitment, as letting go is not about denying these thoughts but rather understanding their roots and choosing not to nurture them further. Consider them as fallen leaves — acknowledging their existence and purpose, yet allowing them to drift away, making space for new growth. Releasing negative self-talk can clear the mind, allowing for the cultivation of healthier, more supportive self-dialogue that nourishes our potential rather than restricts it.
To begin making that shift of thinking, try replacing each negative thought with a positive one. For instance, move from "I can't do this" to "I am learning every day and improving." Create a routine that includes writing down these affirmations or reciting them every morning. Engage in activities that boost your self-esteem, like hobbies you enjoy or volunteering, which can reinforce your sense of value and accomplishment. Over time, the freedom from critical self-talk opens up a realm filled with abundance, joy, and profound self-love. (Daily OM)

Cybersecurity expert warns Chinese EVs could become remote-controlled weapons in hybrid warfare
Cybersecurity experts warn these EVs could be hijacked to disable safety features, trigger explosions, or gridlock cities during conflicts.
Over 20,000 Chinese-made EVs were sold in Australia in August alone, embedding risky Cellular Internet of Things Modules (CIMs).
Governments are urged to ban Chinese EV manufacturers from public contracts unless they allow source code inspections and data audits.
Western nations face growing risks as 80% of Australia’s EVs are now Chinese-made, with similar trends emerging globally.

British Police Order Trump-Supporting Pensioner to Apologise for “Upsetting” Facebook Post or Face Investigation
Footage of the encounter has been seen more than 1.3 million [now 2.8 million] times since it was posted last night and has sparked a furious response from campaigners.
It shows a woman, named as American cancer patient and Donald Trump supporter Deborah Anderson, being confronted in her home by Thames Valley Police.
The MAGA-backing mother-of-two was accused of “upsetting” a person following an alleged “threatening” post she made on Facebook, which was reported to police.
The officer declined to say which of the alleged posts had been complained about.
In the video, “elderly” Ms Anderson then flatly refuses to apologise for her comments online before she is threatened with the potential of a formal interview at a police station.
The incident, filmed in June, prompted an intervention by the Free Speech Union (FSU), who last night claimed Thames Valley Police had since dropped the case. The force today confirmed no further action was taken over the allegations.
It comes as Britain faces fierce criticism over a recent clampdown on free speech, which has seen people being arrested, convicted or jailed over posts made online.
The issue has prompted concern from US President Donald Trump – who is in the UK on his state visit – and warned earlier this month “strange things are happening over there, they are cracking down… I’m very surprised to see what’s happening”....<<<Read More>>>...

Patrick Michaels exposes the global warming scam in “Climate Coup”
Global warming alarmism has permeated various sectors, including education, national defense, international development and academic publishing. This pervasive narrative of climate catastrophe has led to fear-based education, financial exploitation under the guise of climate justice and the use of climate change as a justification for military budget increases and trade restrictions.
Patrick Michaels criticizes
the IPCC for relying on non-peer-reviewed sources, which has led to the
retraction of claims about the Amazon rainforests, African crop harvests
and Himalayan glaciers. The 2009 Climategate scandal, involving leaked
emails from the University of East Anglia, further undermined the IPCC's
credibility by exposing efforts to conceal flaws and exclude skeptics. The
book highlights the growing power of the executive branch, particularly
the EPA, in implementing climate policies without explicit
congressional authorization. The EPA's "Endangerment Finding" in 2009,
which classified carbon dioxide as a pollutant, is cited as an example
of this trend, raising concerns about the erosion of constitutional
principles of limited government and separation of powers.
Michaels
criticizes aggressive climate policies like the American Clean Energy
and Security Act for their potential to increase the cost of electricity
and energy, mandate costly regulations and impose economic burdens
similar to those experienced by Spain with its green energy subsidies.
He argues that these policies could lead to significant economic and
social disruptions.

justification for budget increases and the development of literature
that amplifies military roles based on climate threats....<<<Read More>>>...
Leadbeater’s euthanasia bill sparks further controversy; Lords continue the debate tomorrow
Officially called the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, the proposed government-sponsored euthanasia bill has been mired in controversy, yet it passed three votes in the House of Commons after being introduced by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater on 16 October 2024. The controversies continue as it is debated in the House of Lords.
The House of Lords debate on the euthanasia bill last Friday centred on concerns around possible coercion, a lack of adequate safeguards and not enough time for such controversial legislation to be properly scrutinised. Labour peer Lord Falconer is sponsoring the controversial bill in the upper chamber.
Ahead of the debate, the equalities watchdog, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (“EHRC”), added to the growing number of institutions that have grave concerns about the Bill. In advice to members of the House of Lords on 8 September, the EHRC said more detail is needed on how the Bill could affect people from different backgrounds and those with disabilities.
The EHRC also raised concerns around the “great difficulty of accurately determining how long someone with a terminal illness will live.”
In her advice to the Lords, EHRC chairwoman Baroness Kishwer Falkner raised concerns about the method through which the Bill has been brought to Parliament – as a Private Member’s Bill rather than Government-backed legislation.
“We believe that a Private Member’s Bill is an unsuitable vehicle for such significant legislation, because it is not subject to the same pre-legislative scrutiny that a Government-sponsored draft bill would have undergone, with expert evidence considered earlier in the process,” Baroness Falkner said....<<<Read More>>>....

OpenAI reveals how most people are using ChatGPT
Most people are using ChatGPT to ask questions and get advice, new data from its developer OpenAI has revealed.
Although AI bots can do anything from coding to drafting emails or even helping users to imagine and play, around 49% of the requests sent to ChatGPT since November 2022 were people asking the bot questions and looking for information.
The report by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and OpenAI is the biggest study of its kind and draws from the huge amount of data collected by OpenAI – around 10% of the world’s population is now thought to use the AI tool.

Kurt Sonnenfeld: an inconvenient 9/11 witness
From the beginning, the investigation into the attacks on the
World Trade Center has been tightly controlled directly from the White
House. And now almost all of the evidence has been destroyed.
Does anyone believe the official version offered as to what
happened on September 11, 2001? There are many who say that the wildest
conspiracy theory of all is the theory offered by the United States
Government.
Do you know that on the weekend prior to the attacks on the WTC, all electricity was cut off for approximately 36 hours, including the security cameras and control systems in a highly irregular "maintenance operation"?
Do you know that in the weeks leading up to the attacks there were several unusual evacuations of both towers?
Do you know that the company in charge of security at the World Trade Center was directed by Marvin Bush, George Bush's younger brother, and Wirt Walker III, George Bush's cousin?
Do you know that the same security company also lists as government clients "the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S Air force, and the Department of Justice," and provides security for classified and high-risk government sites?
Do you know that hundreds of
government personnel were pre-positioned in New York City on September
10, preparing to do a large scale simulation of a terrorist attack to be
carried out on September 12? FEMA officials had already set up their
command post at Pier 92 near the World Trade Center one day before the
attacks.
Do you know that the 47-story Salomon Smith Barney
Building, officially known as Seven World Trade Center, imploded at 5:20
in the afternoon of September 11, 2001, some nine hours after American
Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower? It took only about 6.5
seconds for the entire structure to fall straight down into itself, a
half second more than the amount of time it would have taken a stone to
hit the ground if you had dropped it from the roof in a vacuum. The
collapse of Building Seven left a curiously small and tidy rubble pile,
and the buildings to either side of it were relatively undamaged. It had

Starmer Faces Disaster in Wales as Poll Shows Labour in Freefall Behind Reform and Set to Lose First Minister Post for First Time
A grim poll suggests Labour is in freefall ahead of crucial Senedd elections next May – trailing far behind Reform and Plaid Cymru.
The dire figures raise the prospect that Sir Keir’s party will lose the First Minister role in Wales, which it has dominated ever since devolution.
And they will fuel the mounting sense of mutiny within the party’s ranks, with MPs telling whips they want a new leader.
The YouGov/Barn Cymru research for ITV Wales found Plaid ahead on voting intention for the Senedd with 30% support.
But Nigel Farage’s Reform has been staging a surge, with backing up by four points since May to 29%.
Labour meanwhile has dropped another four points from what was an already an historic low, to just 14%.
The Tories have also been enduring a torrid time and were down two points to 11% support.
Under the Senedd’s overhauled party list electoral system that could mean Labour dropping from 29 assembly members paltry 11. That is despite the total number of AMs being increased from 60 to 96 in May.

According to the description underneath the video below, The Guardian wrote: “aerial footage shows a crowd of tens of thousands of people marching through central London on Saturday” in a protest organised by Tommy Robinson.
Last Saturday, “we had millions of Brits, millions” on the streets, Robinson told Bet-David. “We had two million people watching live on X … and then [we] had millions that [ ] attended.”
“Everyone there, and anyone watching the videos, which are now reaching tens and tens and if not hundreds of millions of people, can see it wasn’t 110,000,” he said. “So, they just exposed themselves, time and time again.”
“This was the biggest protest in British history ever.”
For 20 years, the establishment instilled fear into the population and had them whispering about the replacement of the British people and culture using mass migration, he said. But the massive turnout on Saturday proved that the “power [they had over the population] has gone.”
On Saturday, millions let the establishment know: “We’re not being replaced and staying silent anymore. You’re not having uncontrolled mass immigration endangering our daughters, endangering our wives, whilst then beating us down with your racist labels, your fascist labels or your Islamophobic labels. It doesn’t wash anymore,” Robinson said.
“Every move they make – it’s just backfired. It’s literally like a fire’s burning and they just keep pouring gasoline on it. Even their response to Saturday, they’re just blowing the fire up even more. They’re giving us more supporters. Every move they make. I just sit there and think there’s nothing [they] can actually do here.”...<<<Read More>>>...
The silent epidemic: How chronic stress rewires your brain—and why simplicity is the antidote
Science now confirms what many have long suspected: Stress isn’t just a mental burden. It’s a physiological storm, disrupting everything from metabolism to immunity, leaving behind inflammation, disease, and even structural changes in the brain. Yet, amid the chaos of modern life, the solution isn’t more complexity—more supplements, more biohacks, more rigid routines. It’s a return to simplicity: sunlight, real food, movement, and human connection...<<<Read More>>>...

Colour Therapy
It is easy to overlook the colors that saturate our personal and professional environments. Yet these, whether in the form of the paint on our walls or the clothing we wear, can influence our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings to an extraordinary degree. The colors we like best are often those that we need most in our lives, and there are many ways we can utilize them. Basking under a colored lightbulb or gazing at an area of color can stimulate or calm us, depending on the color we choose. For example, red stimulates the brain, our circulatory systems, and the first chakra, giving us an energy boost, while blue acts on the throat chakra, soothing the body and mind. And when we do not feel drawn to any one color, we can still benefit from the healing effects of white light, which is an amalgamation of all the colors of the visible spectrum. It is a cleansing color, one that can purify us on many levels.
Human beings evolved to delight in vivid sunsets and rainbows, to enjoy the sensations awakened by a particularly eye-catching color, and to decorate our spaces and ourselves with bright colors. In essence, we evolved to love the light because of its harmonizing influence on every aspect of us. When we pay attention to the potential effects of individual colors, we can modify our spaces, wardrobes, and habits to ensure that we introduce the colors that speak to us most deeply in our everyday lives.
