A rumor is a social cancer: it is difficult to contain and it rots the brains of the masses. However, the real danger is that so many people find rumors enjoyable. That part causes the infection. And in such cases when a rumor is only partially made of truth, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where the information may have gone wrong. It is passed on and on until some brave soul questions its validity; that brave soul refuses to bite the apple and let the apple eat him. Forced to start from scratch for the sake of purity and truth, that brave soul, figuratively speaking, fully amputates the information in order to protect his personal judgment. In other words, his ignorance is to be valued more than the lie believed to be true.
Criss Jami (Killosophy)
But, said Lewis, myths are lies, even though lies breathed through silver. No, said Tolkien, they are not. ...just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth. We have come from God (continued Tolkien), and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming a 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil. You mean, asked Lewis, that the story of Christ is simply a true myth, a myth that works on us in the same way as the others, but a myth that really happened? In that case, he said, I begin to understand.
Humphrey Carpenter (J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography)
And when I look around the apartment where I now am,—when I see Charlotte’s apparel lying before me, and Albert’s writings, and all those articles of furniture which are so familiar to me, even to the very inkstand which I am using,—when I think what I am to this family—everything. My friends esteem me; I often contribute to their happiness, and my heart seems as if it could not beat without them; and yet—if I were to die, if I were to be summoned from the midst of this circle, would they feel—or how long would they feel—the void which my loss would make in their existence? How long! Yes, such is the frailty of man, that even there, where he has the greatest consciousness of his own being, where he makes the strongest and most forcible impression, even in the memory, in the heart of his beloved, there also he must perish,—vanish,—and that quickly. I could tear open my bosom with vexation to think how little we are capable of influencing the feelings of each other. No one can communicate to me those sensations of love, joy, rapture, and delight which I do not naturally possess; and though my heart may glow with the most lively affection, I cannot make the happiness of one in whom the same warmth is not inherent. Sometimes I don’t understand how another can love her, is allowed to love her, since I love her so completely myself, so intensely, so fully, grasp nothing, know nothing, have nothing but her! I possess so much, but my love for her absorbs it all. I possess so much, but without her I have nothing. One hundred times have I been on the point of embracing her. Heavens! what a torment it is to see so much loveliness passing and repassing before us, and yet not dare to lay hold of it! And laying hold is the most natural of human instincts. Do not children touch everything they see? And I! Witness, Heaven, how often I lie down in my bed with a wish, and even a hope, that I may never awaken again! And in the morning, when I open my eyes, I behold the sun once more, and am wretched. If I were whimsical, I might blame the weather, or an acquaintance, or some personal disappointment, for my discontented mind; and then this insupportable load of trouble would not rest entirely upon myself. But, alas! I feel it too sadly; I am alone the cause of my own woe, am I not? Truly, my own bosom contains the source of all my pleasure. Am I not the same being who once enjoyed an excess of happiness, who at every step saw paradise open before him, and whose heart was ever expanded towards the whole world? And this heart is now dead; no sentiment can revive it. My eyes are dry; and my senses, no more refreshed by the influence of soft tears, wither and consume my brain. I suffer much, for I have lost the only charm of life: that active, sacred power which created worlds around me,—it is no more. When I look from my window at the distant hills, and behold the morning sun breaking through the mists, and illuminating the country around, which is still wrapped in silence, whilst the soft stream winds gently through the willows, which have shed their leaves; when glorious Nature displays all her beauties before me, and her wondrous prospects are ineffectual to extract one tear of joy from my withered heart,—I feel that in such a moment I stand like a reprobate before heaven, hardened, insensible, and unmoved. Oftentimes do I then bend my knee to the earth, and implore God for the blessing of tears, as the desponding labourer in some scorching climate prays for the dews of heaven to moisten his parched corn.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (The Sorrows of Young Werther)
Grandma Baker shook her head. “More lies. What’s wrong with milk? Milk is healthy and great for your bones.” “Yes, raw cow’s milk is very healthy. It’s been drunk for centuries the world over because of its health benefits. That’s exactly why we had to poison it. Like the idiotic fluoride lie about cavities, we informed the public that raw milk contains harmful bacteria and needs to be pasteurized and homogenized to ensure people’s health. After milk is pasteurized and homogenized, it’s not only not healthy anymore, it’s very unhealthy and has the same rap sheet as the other culprits we’ve talked about.” Mrs. Baker shook her head. “Again with the lies. There’s evidence that shows unpasteurized milk may contain bacteria and pathogens that could make people ill. That’s why it’s pasteurized.” “You’re not wrong there, just misinformed on how to correctly fix the problem. Milk being unpasteurized wasn’t the problem, like I said, people safely drank raw milk for centuries. Livestock being subjected to unsanitary and poor hygiene practices in the modern age was the reason milk started containing bacteria and pathogens. To correct this, you fix the livestock issue, the source of the problem. You don’t put healthy raw milk through a process that eliminates possible pathogens by pasteurizing and homogenizing it so it becomes unhealthy and slowly kills you over time. That’s obviously not an intelligent move.” Karver laughed. “But again, thank you for illustrating how effective the great design is at keeping humans weak and brainwashed. The only reason I’m telling you all this is because I’m going to kill you anyway. I’m merely letting you know how stupid you and your species are before I do you in.
Jasun Ether (The Beasts of Success)
The Rules For Being Human 1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of this time around. 2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid. 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error: Experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works.” 4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson. 5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. 6. “There” is no better than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here,” you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.” 7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. 8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. 9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to Life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust. 10. You will forget all this. Chérie Carter-Scott
Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul: Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit)
And while reason may be found within His love, no reason would be able to contain his love. […] It is possible that the evidence of His divinity lies in that love – that in light of love, miracles seem sort of unremarkable. If God can love me, the rest will follow.
Rich Mullins (The World as I Remember It: Through the Eyes of a Ragamuffin)
In the first place, the direct creation of words. Therein lies the mystery of tongues. To paint with words, which contains figures one knows not how or why, is the primitive foundation of all human languages, what may be called their granite.
Victor Hugo (Les Miserables)
Objectivism is the getting rid of the lyrical interference of the individual as ego, of the “subject” and his soul, that peculiar presumption by which western man has interposed himself between what he is as a creature of nature (with certain instructions to carry out) and those other creations of nature which we may, with no derogation, call objects. For a man is himself an object, whatever he may take to be his advantages, the more likely to recognize himself as such the greater his advantages, particularly at that moment that he achieves an humilitas sufficient to make him of use. It comes to this: the use of a man, by himself and thus by others, lies in how he conceives his relation to nature, that force to which he owes his somewhat small existence. If he sprawl, he shall find little to sing but himself, and shall sing, nature has such paradoxical ways, by way of artificial forms outside of himself. But if he stays inside himself, if he is contained within his nature as he is participant in the larger force, he will be able to listen, and his hearing through himself will give him secrets objects share. And by an inverse law his shapes will make their own way. It is in this sense that the projective act, which is the artist’s act in the larger field of objects, leads to dimensions larger than the man. For a man’s problems, the moment he takes speech up in all its fullness, is to give his work his seriousness, a seriousness sufficient to cause the thing he makes to try to take its place alongside the things of nature. This is not easy.
Charles Olson (Collected Prose)
I was by no means the only reader of books on board the Neversink. Several other sailors were diligent readers, though their studies did not lie in the way of belles-lettres. Their favourite authors were such as you may find at the book-stalls around Fulton Market; they were slightly physiological in their nature. My book experiences on board of the frigate proved an example of a fact which every book-lover must have experienced before me, namely, that though public libraries have an imposing air, and doubtless contain invaluable volumes, yet, somehow, the books that prove most agreeable, grateful, and companionable, are those we pick up by chance here and there; those which seem put into our hands by Providence; those which pretend to little, but abound in much.
Herman Melville
At the risk of displeasing innocent ears, I propose that egoism belongs to the nature of a noble soul, I mean that unshakable faith that to a being such as 'we are' other beings must be subordinate by nature and have to sacrifice themselves. The noble soul accepts this fact of its egoism without any question mark, without a feeling that it might contain hardness, constraint, or caprice, but rather as something that may be founded in the primordial law of things: if it sought a name for this fact it would say ‘it is justice itself.’ Perhaps it admits under certain circumstances, which, at first, make it hesitate, that there are some who have rights equal to its own; as soon as this matter of rank is settled, it moves among these equals, with their equal privileges, showing the same sureness of modesty and delicate reverence that characterize its relations with itself – in accordance with an innate heavenly mechanism, understood by all stars. It is merely another aspect of its egoism, this refinement and self-limitation in its relations with its equals – every star is such an egoist – it honors itself in them, and in the rights it cedes to them; it does not doubt that the exchange of honors and rights is of the nature of all social relations, and thus also belongs to the natural condition of things. The noble soul gives as it takes from that passionate and irritable instinct of repayment that lies in its depth. The concept of grace has no meaning or good odor inter pares; there may be a sublime way to let presents from above happen to one, as it were, and to drink them up thirstily, like drops, but for this art and gesture the noble soul has no aptitude. Its egoism hinders it: quite generally it does not like to look 'up,' but either ahead , horizontally and slowly, or down: it knows itself to be at a height.
Friedrich Nietzsche (Beyond Good and Evil)
How then should we regard the past? Indeed, why should we study it at all but to prove to our fellow men that we can, and for the skill of disputation? The answer lies not in preferring the blurred, grand vision to the scrupulous detail, nor does it lie in the opposite prejudice: neither contains sufficient truth. Instead, we must find our own way, in the sure knowledge that we too will enter that underworld, where the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow. If we wish to understand our own place on earth, we must seek to understand those who have gone on before us. We must look beyond the present moment and see ourselves reflected in the deep pool of time as individual elements of a greater humanity, and not as the passing shapes that we may glimpse every day in a looking glass, which then are gone forever.
Ian Mortimer (The Outcasts of Time)
It shall be engraved upon bronze tablets and attached to those columns that mark the entrance to my mausoleum. Upon those columns there will be sufficient space for six of these tablets, and each of the tablets may contain fifty lines of about sixty characters each. Thus the statement of my acts must be limited to about eighteen thousand characters. It seems to me wholly appropriate that I should have been forced to write of myself under these conditions, arbitrary as they might be; for just as my words must be accomodated to such a public necessity, so has my life been. And just as the acts of my life have done, so these words must conceal at least as much truth as they display; the truth will lie somewhere beneath these graven words, in the dense stone which they will encircle. And this too is appropriate; for much of my life has been lived in such secrecy. It has never been politic for me to let another know my heart.
John Williams (Augustus)
The circle of salt’s potential victims grew at an alarming rate. Part of Dahl’s research into the evils of salt involved breeding a strain of salt-sensitive rats, in which he induced hypertension by feeding them commercially prepared baby food that contained added sodium. In April 1970, newspapers ran an Associated Press report about Dahl’s findings under scary headlines like “Baby Food Salt May Be Harmful, Researcher Says.” The report quoted Dahl calling salted baby food “a needless kind of risk.
Alan Levinovitz (The Gluten Lie: And Other Myths About What You Eat)
One of the first books of travel, giving European readers some insight into the unfamiliar world of the Orient, was published in 1356-67 in Anglo-Norman French. Called simply Travels, it was said to be by Sir John Mandeville, but a French historian, Jean d'Outremeuse, may well have written the book. It is a highly entertaining guide for pilgrims to the Holy Land, but goes beyond, taking the reader as far as Tartary, Persia, India and Egypt, recounting more fantasy than fact, but containing geographical details to give the work credence. Mandeville's book whetted the Western European reader's appetite for the travel book as a journal of marvels: dry scientific detail was not what these readers wanted. Rather it was imagination plus information. Thus, myths of 'the fountain of youth' and of gold-dust lying around 'like ant-hills' caught the Western imagination, and, when the voyagers of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries found 'new worlds' in the Americas, these myths were enlarged and expanded, as Eldorado joined the Golden Road to Samarkand in the imagination of readers concerning distant lands.

First, there are the live vaccines which contain an attenuated strain of a microorganism. The hope with these vaccines is that they will produce a subclinical infection. Viral vaccines may contain attenuated strains of a virus or an inactivated virus. They are prepared in tissue culture, which may contain antibiotics, or in chick embryos. These vaccines are, therefore, unsuitable for patients who are allergic to the antibiotics concerned or to egg protein. (Sadly, many doctors do not bother to ask their patients if they have any allergies which might make vaccination especially hazardous. And so

At the time, about to graduate from college, I was operating mainly on impulse, like a salmon swimming blindly upstream toward the site of his own conception. In class and seminars I would dress up these impulses in the slogans and theories that I'd discovered in books., thinking - falsely - that the slogans meant something, that they somehow made what I felt more amenable to proof. But at night, lying in bed, I would let the slogans drift away, to be replaced with a series of images, romantic images, of a past I'd never known. ... Such images became a form of prayer for me, bolstering my spirits, channeling my emotions in a way that words never could. They told me (although even this much understanding may have come later, is also a construct, containing its own falsehoods) that I wasn't alone in my particular struggles, and that communities had never been a given in this country, at least not for blacks. Communities had to be created, fought for, tended like gardens. They expanded or contracted with the dreams of men... Through organising, through shared sacrifice, membership had been earned. And because membership was earned... I believed that it might, over time, admit the uniqueness of my life. That was my idea of organising. It was a promise of redemption.
Barack Obama (Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance)
At such moments our life is divided, and so to speak distributed over a pair of scales, in two counterpoised pans which between them contain it all. In one there is our desire not to displease, not to appear too humble to the creature whom we love without managing to understand her, but whom we find it more convenient at times to appear almost to disregard, so that she shall not have that sense of her own indispensability which may turn her from us; in the other scale there is a feeling of pain — and one that is not localised and partial only — which cannot be set at rest unless, abandoning every thought of pleasing the woman and of making her believe that we can dispense with her, we go at once to find her. When we withdraw from the pan in which our pride lies a small quantity of the will-power which we have weakly allowed to exhaust itself with increasing
Marcel Proust (In Search of Lost Time [volumes 1 to 7])
The greatest mystery may lie in the nature of aythar itself. Although it is present in much greater concentrations in living beings it is also present in small amounts within all inanimate objects. The amount of aythar present seems to vary in direct proportion to the level of awareness possessed by the object. Sentient beings possess it in large quantity, relative to inanimate things, such as rocks. Animals possess varying amounts in proportion to their level of intelligence. Plants contain less, yet still more than non-living things. Since aythar is present within everything, so far as we can tell, it may well be a fundamental property, or even a necessity for existence. Because self-awareness is directly proportional to the amount of aythar within something scholars conclude that even inanimate matter has some minimal level of awareness. ~Marcus the Heretic,
Michael G. Manning (The Blacksmith's Son (Mageborn, #1))
What is a novel, anyway? Only a very foolish person would attempt to give a definitive answer to that, beyond stating the more or less obvious facts that it is a literary narrative of some length which purports, on the reverse of the title page, not to be true, but seeks nevertheless to convince its readers that it is. It's typical of the cynicism of our age that, if you write a novel, everyone assumes it's about real people, thinly disguised; but if you write an autobiography everyone assumes you're lying your head off. Part of this is right, because every artist is, among other things, a con-artist. We con-artists do tell the truth, in a way; but, as Emily Dickenson said, we tell it slant. By indirection we find direction out -- so here, for easy reference, is an elimination-dance list of what novels are not. -- Novels are not sociological textbooks, although they may contain social comment and criticism. -- Novels are not political tracts, although "politics" -- in the sense of human power structures -- is inevitably one of their subjects. But if the author's main design on us is to convert us to something -- - whether that something be Christianity, capitalism, a belief in marriage as the only answer to a maiden's prayer, or feminism, we are likely to sniff it out, and to rebel. As Andre Gide once remarked, "It is with noble sentiments that bad literature gets written." -- Novels are not how-to books; they will not show you how to conduct a successful life, although some of them may be read this way. Is Pride and Prejudice about how a sensible middle-class nineteenth-century woman can snare an appropriate man with a good income, which is the best she can hope for out of life, given the limitations of her situation? Partly. But not completely. -- Novels are not, primarily, moral tracts. Their characters are not all models of good behaviour -- or, if they are, we probably won't read them. But they are linked with notions of morality, because they are about human beings and human beings divide behaviour into good and bad. The characters judge each other, and the reader judges the characters. However, the success of a novel does not depend on a Not Guilty verdict from the reader. As Keats said, Shakespeare took as much delight in creating Iago -- that arch-villain -- as he did in creating the virtuous Imogen. I would say probably more, and the proof of it is that I'd bet you're more likely to know which play Iago is in. -- But although a novel is not a political tract, a how-to-book, a sociology textbook or a pattern of correct morality, it is also not merely a piece of Art for Art's Sake, divorced from real life. It cannot do without a conception of form and a structure, true, but its roots are in the mud; its flowers, if any, come out of the rawness of its raw materials. -- In short, novels are ambiguous and multi-faceted, not because they're perverse, but because they attempt to grapple with what was once referred to as the human condition, and they do so using a medium which is notoriously slippery -- namely, language itself.
Margaret Atwood (Spotty-Handed Villainesses)
How can I speak the truth? .a. By perceiving who causes me to speak and what entitles me to speak. .b. By perceiving the place at which I stand. .c. By relating to this context the object about which I am making some assertion. It is tacitly assumed in these rules that all speech is subject to certain conditions; speech does not accompany the natural course of life in a continual stream, but it has its place, its time, and its task, and consequently also its limits. .a. Who or what entitles or causes me to speak? Anyone who speaks without a right and a cause to do so is an idle chatterer. Every utterance is involved in a relation both with the other man and with a thing, and in every utterance, therefore, this twofold reference must be apparent. An utterance without reference is empty. It contains no truth. In this there is an essential difference between thought and speech. Thought does not in itself necessarily refer to the other man, but only to a thing. The claim that one is entitled to say what one thinks is itself completely unfounded. Speech must be justified and occasioned by the other man. [should we only speak if the other man wishes to listen to us?] For example, I may in my thoughts consider another man to be stupid, ugly, incapable or lacking in character, or I may think him wise and reliable. But it is quite a different question whether I have the right to express this opinion, what occasion I have for expressing it, and to whom I express it. There can be no doubt that a right to speak is conferred upon me by an office which is committed to me. Parents can blame or praise their child, but the child is not entitled to do either of these things with regard to his parents… The right to speak always lies within the confines of the particular office which I discharge. If I overstep these limits my speech becomes importunate, presumptuous, and, whether it be blame or praise, offensive. There are people who feel themselves called upon to “tell the truth” as they put it, to everyone who crosses their path. [From: Ethics, Part II, Ch. V]
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
And this, too, is something that the pagans understood. Consider the word integrity. It does not mean sincerity; that and a really fine pumpkin patch won’t get you much. The man of integrity is integrated. He does not make his moral decisions ad hoc, reckoning up advantages, or gauging his feelings. He sees, too, that all of the virtues are related to one another, and are meant to inform the whole life of a man. He therefore would no more cheat a customer than he would commit adultery. He would no more lie under oath than he would flee from his post in time of war. He would no more spread rumors about his enemy than he would sprinkle rat poison upon a beggar’s dish. His honesty is brave; his chastity is generous; his great-heartedness is clean. But the divorce regime teaches and rewards dis-integrity. And one can no more build a great nation or even a good, solid town upon dis-integrated people, than one can build a town hall out of straw, or a church out of dust. Again, the evil principle is that the sexual gratification of adults must be met; no customs or laws may stand in its way. The principle is a universal solvent. Nothing can contain it.
Anthony Esolen (Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity)
Before Armand had granted me the esteem of which I have already spoken, I probably would not have betrayed him. The mere idea would have horrified me. So long as he had not given me his confidence, betraying him had no meaning: it meant simply obeying the elementary rule which governed my life. But now I loved him. I recognized his omnipotence. And though he might not love me, he contained me within him. His moral authority was so absolute, so generous, that it made intellectual rebellion within his bosom impossible. The only way I could prove my independence was by acting on the emotional level. The idea of betraying Armand set me aglow. I feared and loved him too much not to want to deceive and betray and rob him. I sensed the anxious pleasure that goes with sacrilege. If he were God (he had known pity), and had he been well pleased with me, it were sweet to deny him. And better still, that Stilitano, who did not love me and whom I would never have betrayed, should be helping me. His sharp personality aptly suggested the image of a dagger piercing the heart. The strength of the devil and his power over us lie in his irony. His seductiveness may be only his detachment. The force with which Armand denied the rules proved his own power—and the power of the rules over him. Stilitano smiled at them. His smile dissolved me. It was bold enough to express itself on a face of great beauty.
Jean Genet
For clarity's sake, and before going further with this account, I shall identify true aesthetic sorrow a little more closely. Sorrow has the opposite movement to that of pain. So long as one doesn't spoil things out of a misplaced mania for consistency―something I shall prevent also in another way―one may say: the more innocence, the deeper the sorrow. If you press this too far, you destroy the tragic. There is always an element of guilt left over, but it is never properly reflected in the subject; which is why in Greek tragedy the sorrow is so deep. In order to prevent misplaced consistency, I shall merely remark that exaggeration only succeeds in carrying the matter over into another sphere. The synthesis of absolute innocence and absolute guilt is not an aesthetic feature but a metaphysical one. This is the real reason why people have always been ashamed to call the life of Christ a tragedy; one feels instinctively that aesthetic categories do not exhaust the matter. It is clear in another way, too that Christ's life amounts to more than can be exhausted in aesthetic terms, namely from the fact that these terms neutralize themselves in this phenomenon, and are rendered irrelevant. Tragic action always contains an element of suffering, and tragic suffering an element of action; the aesthetic lies in the relativity. The identity of an absolute action and an absolute suffering is beyond the powers of aesthetics and belongs to metaphysics. This identity is exemplified in the life of Christ, for His suffering is absolute because the action is absolutely free, and His action is absolute suffering because it is absolute obedience. The element of guilt that is always left over is, accordingly, not subjectively reflected and this makes the sorrow deep. Tragic guilt is more than just subjective guilt, it is inherited guilt. But inherited guilt, like original sin, is a substantial category, and it is just this substantiality that makes the sorrow deeper. Sophocles' celebrated tragic trilogy, *Oedipus at Colonus*, *Oedipus Rex*, and *Antigone*, turns essentially on this authentic tragic interest. But inherited guilt contains the self-contradiction of being guilt yet not being guilt. The bond that makes the individual guilty is precisely piety, but the guilt which he thereby incurs has all possible aesthetic ambiguity. One might well conclude that the people who developed profound tragedy were the Jews. Thus, when they say of Jehova that he is a jealous God who visits the sins of the fathers on the children unto the third and fourth generations, or one hears those terrible imprecations in the Old Testament, one might feel tempted to look here for the material of tragedy. But Judaism is too ethically developed for this. Jehova's curses, terrible as they are, are nevertheless also righteous punishment. Such was not the case in Greece, there the wrath of the gods has no ethical, but aesthetic ambiguity" (Either/Or).
Søren Kierkegaard
If “bullshit,” as opposed to “bull,” is a distinctively modern linguistic innovation, that could have something to do with other distinctively modern things, like advertising, public relations, political propaganda, and schools of education. “One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit,” Harry Frankfurt, a distinguished moral philosopher who is professor emeritus at Princeton, says. The ubiquity of bullshit, he notes, is something that we have come to take for granted. Most of us are pretty confident of our ability to detect it, so we may not regard it as being all that harmful. We tend to take a more benign view of someone caught bullshitting than of someone caught lying. (“Never tell a lie when you can bullshit your way through,” a father counsels his son in an Eric Ambler novel.) All of this worries Frankfurt. We cannot really know the effect that bullshit has on us, he thinks, until we have a clearer understanding of what it is. That is why we need a theory of bullshit. Frankfurt’s own effort along these lines was contained in a paper that he presented more than three decades ago at a faculty seminar at Yale. Later, that paper appeared in a journal and then in a collection of Frankfurt’s writings; all the while, photocopies of it passed from fan to fan. In 2005, it was published as On Bullshit, a tiny book of sixty-seven spaciously printed pages that went on to become an improbable breakout success, spending half a year on the New York Times bestseller list.
Jim Holt (When Einstein Walked with Gödel: Excursions to the Edge of Thought)
A folktale in Hokkaido just after the war and passed from conductor to conductor held that the floor of heaven is laced with silver train tracks, and the third rail is solid pearl. The trains that ran along them were fabulous even by the Shinkansen of today: carriages containing whole pine forests hung with gold lanterns, carriages full of rice terraces, carriages lined in red silk where the meal service bought soup, rice-balls, and a neat lump of opium with persimmon tea poured over it in the most delicate of cups. These trains sped past each other, utterly silent, carrying each a complement of ghosts who clutched the branches like leather handholds, and plucked the green rice to eat raw, amd fell back insensate into the laps of women whose faces were painted red from brow to chin. They never stop, never slow, and only with great courage and grace could a spirit slowly progress from car to car, all the way to the conductor's cabin, where all accounts cease, and no man knows what lies therein. In Hokkaido, where the snow and the ice are so white and pure they glow blue, it is said only the highest engineers of Japan Railways know the layout of the railroads on the floor of heaven. They say that these exalted engineers are working slowly, generation by generation, to lay the tracks to earth so that they mirror exactly the tracks in heaven. When this is done, those marvelous carriages will fall from the sky, and we may know on earth, without paying the terrible fare of death, the gaze of the red women, the light of the forest lanterns, and the taste of persimmon tea.

Against Still Life Orange in the middle of a table: It isn’t enough to walk around it at a distance, saying it’s an orange: nothing to do with us, nothing else: leave it alone I want to pick it up in my hand I want to peel the skin off; I want more to be said to me than just Orange: want to be told everything it has to say And you, sitting across the table, at a distance, with your smile contained, and like the orange in the sun: silent: Your silence isn’t enough for me now, no matter with what contentment you fold your hands together; I want anything you can say in the sunlight: stories of your various childhoods, aimless journeyings, your loves; your articulate skeleton; your posturings; your lies. These orange silences (sunlight and hidden smile) make me want to wrench you into saying; now I’d crack your skull like a walnut, split it like a pumpkin to make you talk, or get a look inside But quietly: if I take the orange with care enough and hold it gently I may find an egg a sun an orange moon perhaps a skull; centre of all energy resting in my hand can change it to whatever I desire it to be and you, man, orange afternoon lover, wherever you sit across from me (tables, trains, buses) if I watch quietly enough and long enough at last, you will say (maybe without speaking) (there are mountains inside your skull garden and chaos, ocean and hurricane; certain corners of rooms, portraits of great-grandmothers, curtains of a particular shade; your deserts; your private dinosaurs; the first woman) all I need to know: tell me everything just as it was from the beginning.

In July 2018, a safety crisis rocked the global drug supply—and seemed to prove Baker’s point. Regulators in Europe announced a harrowing discovery: the widely used active ingredient for valsartan, a generic version of the blood pressure drug Diovan, contained a cancer-causing toxin known as NDMA (once used in liquid rocket fuel). The drug had been made by the Chinese company Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals, the world’s largest manufacturer of valsartan active ingredients. In the United States, over a dozen drug manufacturers, all of which used the Chinese ingredient, recalled their products, as did dozens more manufacturers around the world. The Chinese company tried to defend itself by explaining that it had altered its production process in 2012 to increase yields of the drug, a change that had been approved by regulators. In short, the change had been made to maximize profit. Some patients had been consuming the toxin for six years. As the FDA tried to reassure consumers that the risk of developing cancer, even from daily exposure to the toxin, was extremely low, a second cancer-causing impurity was detected in the ingredients. Though the valsartan catastrophe seemed to take the FDA by surprise, it shouldn’t have. In May 2017, an FDA investigator had found evidence at the plant in Linhai, China, that the company was failing to investigate potential impurities in its own drugs, which showed up as aberrant peaks in its test results. The investigator designated the plant as Official Action Indicated, but the agency downgraded that to VAI. In short, the company was let off the hook—only to wind up in the middle of a worldwide quality scandal less than a year later. By

For most people moving is a tiring experience. When on the verge of moving out to a new home or into a new office, it's only natural to focus on your new place and forget about the one you’re leaving. Actually, the last thing you would even think about is embarking on a heavy duty move out clean. However, you can be certain that agents, landlords and all the potential renters or buyers of your old home will most definitely notice if it's being cleaned, therefore getting the place cleaned up is something that you need to consider. The process of cleaning will basically depend to things; how dirty your property and the size of the home. If you leave the property in good condition, you'll have a higher the chance of getting back your bond deposit or if you're selling, attracting a potential buyer. Below are the steps you need to consider before moving out. You should start with cleaning. Remove all screws and nails from the walls and the ceilings, fill up all holes and dust all ledges. Large holes should be patched and the entire wall checked the major marks. Remove all the cobwebs from the walls and ceilings, taking care to wash or vacuum the vents. They can get quite dusty. Clean all doors and door knobs, wipe down all the switches, electrical outlets, vacuum/wipe down the drapes, clean the blinds and remove all the light covers from light fixtures and clean them thoroughly as they may contain dead insects. Also, replace all the burnt out light bulbs and empty all cupboards when you clean them. Clean all windows, window sills and tracks. Vacuum all carpets or get them professionally cleaned which quite often is stipulated in the rental agreement. After you've finished the general cleaning, you can now embark on the more specific areas. When cleaning the bathroom, wash off the soap scum and remove mould (if any) from the bathroom tiles. This can be done by pre-spraying the tile grout with bleach and letting it sit for at least half an hour. Clean all the inside drawers and vanity units thoroughly. Clean the toilet/sink, vanity unit and replace anything that you've damaged. Wash all shower curtains and shower doors plus all other enclosures. Polish the mirrors and make sure the exhaust fan is free of dust. You can generally vacuum these quite easily. Finally, clean the bathroom floors by vacuuming and mopping. In the kitchen, clean all the cabinets and liners and wash the cupboards inside out. Clean the counter-tops and shine the facet and sink. If the fridge is staying give it a good clean. You can do this by removing all shelves and wash them individually. Thoroughly degrease the oven inside and out. It's best to use and oven cleaner from your supermarket, just take care to use gloves and a mask as they can be quite toxic. Clean the kitchen floor well by giving it a good vacuum and mop . Sometimes the kitchen floor may need to be degreased. Dust the bedrooms and living room, vacuum throughout then mop. If you have a garage give it a good sweep. Also cut the grass, pull out all weeds and remove all items that may be lying or hanging around. Remember to put your garbage bins out for collection even if collection is a week away as in our experience the bins will be full to the brim from all the rubbish during the moving process. If this all looks too hard then you can always hire a bond cleaner to tackle the job for you or if you're on a tight budget you can download an end of lease cleaning checklist or have one sent to you from your local agent. Just make sure you give yourself at least a day or to take on the job. Its best not to rush through the job, just make sure everything is cleaned thoroughly, so it passes the inspection in order for you to get your bond back in full.

So in general anything can have a variety of grounds; each determination of its content, as self-identical, pervades the whole and can therefore be considered essential; the door is wide open to innumerable aspects, that is, determinations, lying outside the thing itself, on account of the contingency of their mode of connection. Therefore whether a ground has this or that consequent is equally contingent. Moral motives, for example, are essential determinations of the ethical nature, but what follows from them is at the same time an externality distinct from them, which follows and also does not follow from them; it is only through a third that it is attached to them. More accurately this is to be understood in this way, that if the moral motive is a ground, it is not contingent to it whether it has or has not a consequent or a grounded, but it is contingent whether it is or is not made a ground at all. But again, since the content which is the consequent of the moral motive, if this has been made the ground, has the nature of externality, it can be immediately sublated by another externality. Therefore an action may, or may not, issue from a moral motive. Conversely, an action can have various grounds; as a concrete, it contains manifold essential determinations, each of which can therefore be assigned as ground. The search for and assignment of grounds, in which argumentation mainly consists, is accordingly an endless pursuit which does not reach a final determination; for any and every thing one or more good grounds can be given, and also for its opposite; and a host of grounds can exist without anything following from them. What Socrates and Plato call sophistry is nothing else but argumentation from grounds; to this, Plato opposes the contemplation of the Idea, that is, of the subject matter in and for itself or in its Notion. Grounds are taken only from essential determinations of a content, essential relationships and aspects, and of these every subject matter, just like its opposite, possesses several; in their form of essentiality, one is as valid as another; because it does not embrace the whole extent of the subject matter, each is a one-sided ground, the other particular sides having on their part particular grounds, and none of them exhausts the subject matter which constitutes their togetherness [Verknüpfung] and contains them all; none is a sufficient ground, that is, the Notion.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
PRAYER is not a technique, it is not a ritual, it is not a formality. There is no pattern to it. It is a spontaneous outpouring of the heart, so don't ask how, because there is no how and there cannot be any how to it. Whatsoever happens in the moment is right. If tears come, good. If you sing, good. If you dance, good. If nothing comes and you simply remain silent, good. Because prayer is not in the expression; it is not in the container, it is in the content. Sometimes silence is prayerful, sometimes singing is prayerful. It depends on you, it depends on the heart. Listen to your heart, feel your moment, and let it be. And whatsoever happens is good. Sometimes nothing will happen, but that is what is happening. You allow it, you don't impose your will on it. When you ask how, you are trying to impose your will, you are trying to plan. That's how prayer has been missed. Prayer has to arise in you, it has to flower in you. And each moment has its own prayer, and each mood has its own prayer. Sometimes you may feel very sad, because sadness also belongs to God. Sadness is also divine. There is no necessity to always be happy. Then sadness is your prayer. Then let your heart cry and let your eyes pour down tears. Then let sadness be offered to God. Whatsoever is there in your heart, let it be offered to the Divine Feet -- joy or sadness, sometimes even anger. Sometimes one is angry with God. If you cannot be angry with God, you have not yet known love. Sometimes one is really in a deep rage. Then let anger be your prayer. Fight with God -- He is yours, you are His, and love knows no formality. Love can survive all fights. If it cannot survive a fight, then it is not love. Never be inauthentic with God because that is the way of not being with Him. Whom are you trying to deceive? The smile on your face is not going to deceive God; your truth will be known to Him. He can only know your truth; lies don't exist for Him. So let the truth be there. Talk to Him as one talks to one's lover, one's friend, one's mother. Talk to Him as one talks to a small child. Let the moment decide, let the moment be decisive, and the truth of the moment should be your prayer. That's my answer: the truth of the moment, whatsoever it is, unconditionally, should be your prayer. And once you allow the truth of the moment to possess you, you will start growing, and you will know tremendous beauties of prayer.
Osho (The Beloved, Vol 2)
[14] It is in accordance with this plan of action above all that one should train oneself. As soon as you leave the house at break of day, examine everyone whom you see, everyone whom you hear, and answer as if under questioning. What did you see? A handsome man or beautiful woman? Apply the rule. Does this lie within the sphere of choice, or outside it? Outside. Throw it away. [15] What did you see? Someone grieving over the death of his child? Apply the rule. Death is something that lies outside the sphere of choice. Away with it. You met a consul? Apply the rule. What kind of thing is a consulship? One that lies outside the sphere of choice, or inside? Outside. Throw that away too, it doesn’t stand the test. Away with it; it is nothing to you. [16] If we acted in such a way and practised this exercise from morning until night, we would then have achieved something, by the gods. [17] But as things are, we’re caught gazing open-mouthed at every impression that comes along, and it is only in the schoolroom that we wake up a little, if indeed we ever do. Afterwards, when we go outside, if we see someone in distress, we say, ‘He’s done for,’ or if we see a consul, exclaim, ‘A most fortunate man’; if an exile, ‘Poor wretch!’; if someone in poverty, ‘How terrible for him; he hasn’t money enough to buy a meal.’ [18] These vicious judgements must be rooted out, then; that is what we should concentrate our efforts on. For what is weeping and groaning? A judgement. What is misfortune? A judgement. What is civil strife, dissension, fault-finding, accusation, impiety, foolishness? [19] All of these are judgements and nothing more, and judgements that are passed, moreover, about things that lie outside the sphere of choice, under the supposition that such things are good or bad. Let someone transfer these judgements to things that lie within the sphere of choice, and I guarantee that he’ll preserve his peace of mind, regardless of what his circumstances may be. [20] The mind is rather like a bowl filled with water, and impressions are like a ray of light that falls on that water. [21] When the water is disturbed, the ray of light gives the appearance of being disturbed, but that isn’t really the case. [22] So accordingly, whenever someone suffers an attack of vertigo, it isn’t the arts and virtues that are thrown into confusion, but the spirit in which they’re contained; and when the spirit comes to rest again, so will they too.
Epictetus (Discourses, Fragments, Handbook)
A virus particle is a very small capsule made of proteins locked together in a mathematical pattern. The pattern of the interlocking proteins in a virus is far more complicated than a snowflake. The protein capsule is sometimes wrapped in an oily membrane. Inside the capsule there is a small amount of DNA or RNA, the molecules that contain the genetic code of the virus. The genetic code is the virus’s operating system, or wetware, the complete set of instructions for the virus to make copies of itself. Unlike a snowflake or any other kind of crystal, a virus is able to re-create its form. It would be as if a single snowflake started copying itself as it falls, and those copies of the snowflake copy themselves, creating ever-growing numbers of identical copies of the first snowflake, until the air is filled with falling snow, and each flake is a perfect replica of the first flake. Many virologists feel that viruses are not truly living things. At the same time, viruses are obviously not dead. Virologists like to describe them as life forms. The term is a contradiction: How can something be a form of life that isn’t alive? Viruses carry on their existence in a misty borderland that lies between life and death, a gray zone where the things we encounter are neither provably alive nor certainly dead. One way to understand viruses is to think about them as biological machines. A virus is a wet nanomachine, a tiny, complicated, slightly fuzzy mechanism, which is rubbery, flexible, wobbly, and often a little bit imprecise in its operation—a microscopic nugget of squishy parts. Viruses are subtle, logical, tricky, reactive, devious, opportunistic. They are constantly evolving, their forms steadily changing as time passes. Like all kinds of life, viruses possess a relentless drive to reproduce themselves so that they can persist through time. When a virus starts copying itself strongly and rapidly in a host, the process is called virus amplification. As a virus amplifies itself in its host, the host, a living organism, can be destroyed. Viruses are the undead of the living world, the zombies of deep time. Nobody knows the origin of viruses—how they came into existence or when they appeared in the history of life on earth. Viruses may be examples or relics of life forms that operated at the dawn of life. Viruses may have come into existence with the first stirrings of life on the planet, roughly four billion years ago. Or they may have arisen after life started, during the time when single-celled bacteria had already come into existence—nobody knows.
Richard Preston (Crisis in the Red Zone: The Story of the Deadliest Ebola Outbreak in History, and of the Outbreaks to Come)
Children’s minds are cast in much the same mold as our own. Sternness and severity of manner chill them and set them back. It shuts up their hearts, and you will weary yourself to find the door. But let them see that you have an affectionate feeling towards them and that you really desire to make them happy and do them good, so that if you punish them, they know it is intended for their well-being. As they see that you, like the pelican, would give your heart’s blood to nourish their souls, they will soon be submitted and devoted to you.[2] But they must be wooed with kindness, if their attention is ever to be won. And surely, reason itself might teach us this lesson. Children are weak and tender creatures, and they need patient and considerate treatment. We must handle them delicately, like frail machines, for fear that by rough fingering we do more harm than good. They are like young plants and need gentle watering – often, and only a little at a time. We must not expect all things at once. We must remember what children are and teach them as they are able to bear. Their minds are like a lump of metal – not to be forged and made useful all at once but only by a succession of little blows. Their understanding is like narrow-necked vessels: we must pour in the wine of knowledge gradually, or much of it will be spilled and lost. Precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little must be our rule (Isaiah 28:10). The whetstone does its work slowly, but frequent rubbing will bring the scythe to a fine edge. Truly, patience is needed in training a child, but without it, nothing can be done. Nothing will compensate for the absence of this tenderness and love. A minister may speak the truth as it is in Jesus – clearly, forcibly, and unanswerably; but if he does not speak it in love, few souls will be won. Likewise, you must set before your children their duty – command, threaten, punish, and reason – but if affection is lacking in your treatment, your labor will be all in vain. Love is one grand secret of successful training. Anger and harshness may frighten, but they will not persuade the child that you are right. If he often sees you lose your temper, you will soon cease to have his respect. A father who speaks to his son as Saul did to Jonathan when his anger was kindled against him and he called him the son of the perverse rebellious woman (1 Samuel 20:30), can’t expect to retain his influence over that son’s mind. Try hard to maintain your child’s affections. It is a dangerous thing to make your children afraid of you. Anything is almost better than reserve and insecurity between your child and you, but hesitancy will result from fear. Fear puts an end to openness; fear leads to secrecy; fear sows the seed of much hypocrisy and leads to many lies. There is a mine of truth in the apostle’s words to the Colossians: Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart (Colossians 3:21). Be sure not to overlook the advice this verse contains.
J.C. Ryle (The Duties of Parents: Parenting Your Children God's Way)
Life is strewn with these miracles, for which people who are in love can always hope. It is possible that this one had been artificially brought about by my mother who, seeing that for some time past I had lost all interest in life, may have suggested to Gilberte to write to me, just as, when I was little and went first to the sea-side, so as to give me some pleasure in bathing, which I detested because it took away my breath, she used secretly to hand to the man who was to ‘dip’ me marvellous boxes made of shells, and branches of coral, which I believed that I myself had discovered lying at the bottom of the sea. However, with every occurrence which, in our life and among its contrasted situations, bears any relation to love, it is best to make no attempt to understand it, since in so far as these are inexorable, as they are unlooked-for, they appear to be governed by magic rather than by rational laws. When a multi-millionaire—who for all his millions is quite a charming person—sent packing by a poor and unattractive woman with whom he has been living, calls to his aid, in his desperation, all the resources of wealth, and brings every worldly influence to bear without succeeding in making her take him back, it is wiser for him, in the face of the implacable obstinacy of his mistress, to suppose that Fate intends to crush him, and to make him die of an affection of the heart, than to seek any logical explanation. These obstacles, against which lovers have to contend, and which their imagination, over-excited by suffering, seeks in vain to analyse, are contained, as often as not, in some peculiar characteristic of the woman whom they cannot bring back to themselves, in her stupidity, in the influence acquired over her, the fears suggested to her by people whom the lover does not know, in the kind of pleasures which, at the moment, she is demanding of life, pleasures which neither her lover nor her lover’s wealth can procure for her. In any event, the lover is scarcely in a position to discover the nature of these obstacles, which her woman’y cunning hides from him and his own judgment, falsified by love, prevents him from estimating exactly. They may be compared with those tumours which the doctor succeeds in reducing, but without having traced them to their source. Like them these obstacles remain mysterious but are temporary. Only they last, as a rule, longer than love itself. And as that is not a disinterested passion, the lover who is no longer in love does not seek to know why the woman, neither rich nor virtuous, with whom he was in love refused obstinately for years to let him continue to keep her. Now the same mystery which often veils from our eyes the reason for a catastrophe, when love is in question, envelops just as frequently the suddenness of certain happy solutions, such as had come to me with Gilberte’s letter. Happy, or at least seemingly happy, for there are few solutions that can really be happy when we are dealing with a sentiment of such a kind that every satisfaction which we can bring to it does no more, as a rule, than dislodge some pain. And yet sometimes a respite is granted us, and we have for a little while the illusion that we are healed.
Marcel Proust (In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower)
Motion in space can proceed in any direction and back again. Motion in time only proceeds in one direction in the everyday world, whatever seems to be going on at the particle level. It’s hard to visualize the four dimensions of spacetime, each at right angles to the other, but we can leave out one dimension and imagine what this strict rule would mean if it applied to one of the three dimensions we are used to. It’s as if we were allowed to move either up or down, either forward or back, but that sideways motion was restricted to shuffling to the left, say. Movement to the right is forbidden. If we made this the central rule in a children’s game, and then told a child to find a way of reaching a prize off to the right-hand side (“backward in time”) it wouldn’t take too long for the child to find a way out of the trap. Simply turn around to face the other way, swapping left for right, and then reach the prize by moving to the left. Alternatively, lie down on the floor so that the prize is in the “up” direction with reference to your head. Now you can move both “up” to grasp the prize and “down” to your original position, before standing up again and returning your personal space orientation to that of the bystanders.* The technique for time travel allowed by relativity theory is very similar. It involves distorting the fabric of space-time so that in a local region of space-time the time axis points in a direction equivalent to one of the three space directions in the undistorted region of space-time. One of the other space directions takes on the role of time, and by swapping space for time such a device would make true time travel, there and back again, possible. American mathematician Frank Tipler has made the calculations that prove such a trick is theoretically possible. Space-time can be distorted by strong gravitational fields,and Tipler’s imaginary time machine is a very massive cylinder, containing as much matter as our sun packed into a volume 100 km long and 10 km in radius, as dense as the nucleus of an atom, rotating twice every millisecond and dragging the fabric of space-time around with it. The surface of the cylinder would be moving at half the speed of light. This isn’t the sort of thing even the maddest of mad inventors is likely to build in his backyard, but the point is that it is allowed by all the laws of physics that we know. There is even an object in the universe that has the mass of our sun, the density of an atomic nucleus, and spins once every 1.5 milliseconds, only three times slower than Tipler’s time machine. This is the so-called “millisecond pulsar,” discovered in 1982. It is highly unlikely that this object is cylindrical—such extreme rotation has surely flattened it into a pancake shape. Even so, there must be some very peculiar distortions of space-time in its vicinity. “Real” time travel may not be impossible, just extremely difficult and very, very unlikely. That thin end of what might be a very large wedge may, however, make the normality of time travel at the quantum level seem a little more acceptable. Both quantum theory and relativity theory permit time travel, of one kind or another. And anything that is acceptable to both those theories, no matter how paradoxical that something may seem, has to be taken seriously. Time travel, indeed, is an integral part of some of the stranger features of the particle world, where you can even get something for nothing, if you are quick about it.

Classical liberalism has been reproached with being too obstinate and not ready enough to compromise. It was because of its inflexibility that it was defeated in its struggle with the nascent anticapitalist parties of all kinds. If it had realized, as these other parties did, the importance of compromise and concession to popular slogans in winning the favor of the masses, it would have been able to preserve at least some of its influence. But it has never bothered to build for itself a party organization and a party machine as the anticapitalist parties have done. It has never attached any importance to political tactics in electoral campaigns and parliamentary proceedings. It has never gone in for scheming opportunism or political bargaining. This unyielding doctrinairism necessarily brought about the decline of liberalism. The factual assertions contained in these statements are entirely in accordance with the truth, but to believe that they constitute a reproach against liberalism is to reveal a complete misunderstanding of its essential spirit. The ultimate and most profound of the fundamental insights of liberal thought is that it is ideas that constitute the foundation on which the whole edifice of human social cooperation is Liberalism: A Socio-Economic Exposition constructed and sustained and that a lasting social structure cannot be built on the basis of false and mistaken ideas. Nothing can serve as a substitute for an ideology that enhances human life by fostering social cooperation—least of all lies, whether they be called "tactics," "diplomacy," or "compromise." If men will not, from a recognition of social necessity, voluntarily do what must be done if society is to be maintained and general well-being advanced, no one can lead them to the right path by any cunning stratagem or artifice. If they err and go astray, then one must endeavor to enlighten them by instruction. But if they cannot be enlightened, if they persist in error, then nothing can be done to prevent catastrophe. All the tricks and lies of demagogic politicians may well be suited to promote the cause of those who, whether in good faith or bad, work for the destruction of society. But the cause of social progress, the cause of the further development and intensification of social bonds, cannot be advanced by lies and demagogy. No power on earth, no crafty stratagem or clever deception could succeed in duping mankind into accepting a social doctrine that it not only does not acknowledge, but openly spurns. The only way open to anyone who wishes to lead the world back to liberalism is to convince his fellow citizens of the necessity of adopting the liberal program. This work of enlightenment is the sole task that the liberal can and must perform in order to avert as much as lies within his power the destruction toward which society is rapidly heading today. There is no place here for concessions to any of the favorite or customary prejudices and errors. In regard to questions that will decide whether or not society is to continue to exist at all, whether millions of people are to prosper or perish, there is no room for compromise either from weakness or from misplaced deference for the sensibilities of others. If liberal principles once again are allowed to guide the policies of great nations, if a revolution in public opinion could once more give capitalism free rein, the world will be able gradually to raise itself from the condition into which the policies of the combined anticapitalist factions have plunged it. There is no other way out of the political and social chaos of the present age.

Why You Should Consider Your Old Gmail Account: A Powerful Tool for the Modern Digital World Explore why reviving your old Gmail account could be beneficial for your digital life. Learn about its features, security benefits, and how it can still play a crucial role in your online experience. ✅Email:usaallhub@gmail.com ✅Telegram:@usaallhub ✅WhatsApp:+1 (508) 402-5077 #SEO#usaallhub#socialmedia#USAaccounts#seoservice#Digitalmarketer Why You Should Consider Your Old Gmail Account In a world where digital tools shape much of our daily lives, it's easy to overlook the power of old, dormant accounts. For many of us, Gmail was one of the first email services we used, and it’s often the hub of much of our online activity. But with time, Gmail accounts can fall into disuse, pushed aside by newer email addresses or forgotten as we shift to different platforms. However, if you've been neglecting an old Gmail account, you may want to reconsider that decision. An old Gmail account can still be a highly valuable tool, offering several advantages you might not have considered. In this article, we'll explore why you should consider revisiting and reactivating your old Gmail account, the hidden benefits it offers, and how it can enhance your digital experience in the present day. The Hidden Value of an Old Gmail Account If your old Gmail account is lying dormant in the background, you may be unaware of how much potential it still holds. Gmail isn’t just an email provider; it’s part of a vast ecosystem of Google services that you might still be accessing through other accounts. Let's break down why your old Gmail account could be a hidden gem. 1. Your Gmail Account as a Gateway to Google Services Google's suite of tools—including Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Photos, Google Docs, and many more—are deeply integrated with Gmail. Even if you no longer use Gmail as your primary email service, the account is still a key to accessing and managing these services. Whether you’re using Google Calendar to manage your schedule, storing photos in Google Photos, or collaborating on documents in Google Docs, your old Gmail account is likely tied to a variety of essential tools. 2. Security Features You Might Be Overlooking Google has invested heavily in security over the years, and old Gmail accounts come with several robust security features that you may not be taking full advantage of. Features like two-step verification (2FA) can be set up on older Gmail accounts, offering an extra layer of protection for your personal data and information. If your old Gmail account is linked to other Google services, it's crucial to ensure these accounts are properly secured to prevent unauthorized access. Gmail accounts also benefit from Google's advanced phishing and spam detection systems, which continue to evolve. Even if you don’t use the Gmail inbox regularly, these security systems are still running in the background to protect your account. 3. Backup for Important Information In today’s fast-paced digital world, it's not uncommon to lose access to important data or misplace documents. If you have old emails or files stored in your Gmail account, those could act as valuable backups. Emails, attachments, and conversations might contain vital information that could be helpful later on. Google’s 15GB of free cloud storage offers a secure place to keep documents, photos, and other important files, and your old Gmail account could be an untapped resource for this purpose. 4. Access to Past Purchases and Transactions If you've ever used your Gmail account to make purchases or interact with businesses, your inbox might contain receipts, order confirmations, flight tickets, subscription renewals, and more. All of these details are invaluable when you're managing finances, keeping track of your spending, or resolving disputes.
Your Guide to Buying an Old Gmail Account in 2025
Stick to a sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. As creatures of habit, people have a hard time adjusting to changes in sleep patterns. Sleeping later on weekends won’t fully make up for a lack of sleep during the week and will make it harder to wake up early on Monday morning. Set an alarm for bedtime. Often we set an alarm for when it’s time to wake up but fail to do so for when it’s time to go to sleep. If there is only one piece of advice you remember and take from these twelve tips, this should be it. Exercise is great, but not too late in the day. Try to exercise at least thirty minutes on most days but not later than two to three hours before your bedtime. Avoid caffeine and nicotine. Coffee, colas, certain teas, and chocolate contain the stimulant caffeine, and its effects can take as long as eight hours to wear off fully. Therefore, a cup of coffee in the late afternoon can make it hard for you to fall asleep at night. Nicotine is also a stimulant, often causing smokers to sleep only very lightly. In addition, smokers often wake up too early in the morning because of nicotine withdrawal. Avoid alcoholic drinks before bed. Having a nightcap or alcoholic beverage before sleep may help you relax, but heavy use robs you of REM sleep, keeping you in the lighter stages of sleep. Heavy alcohol ingestion also may contribute to impairment in breathing at night. You also tend to wake up in the middle of the night when the effects of the alcohol have worn off. Avoid large meals and beverages late at night. A light snack is okay, but a large meal can cause indigestion, which interferes with sleep. Drinking too many fluids at night can cause frequent awakenings to urinate. If possible, avoid medicines that delay or disrupt your sleep. Some commonly prescribed heart, blood pressure, or asthma medications, as well as some over-the-counter and herbal remedies for coughs, colds, or allergies, can disrupt sleep patterns. If you have trouble sleeping, talk to your health care provider or pharmacist to see whether any drugs you’re taking might be contributing to your insomnia and ask whether they can be taken at other times during the day or early in the evening. Don’t take naps after 3 p.m. Naps can help make up for lost sleep, but late afternoon naps can make it harder to fall asleep at night. Relax before bed. Don’t overschedule your day so that no time is left for unwinding. A relaxing activity, such as reading or listening to music, should be part of your bedtime ritual. Take a hot bath before bed. The drop in body temperature after getting out of the bath may help you feel sleepy, and the bath can help you relax and slow down so you’re more ready to sleep. Dark bedroom, cool bedroom, gadget-free bedroom. Get rid of anything in your bedroom that might distract you from sleep, such as noises, bright lights, an uncomfortable bed, or warm temperatures. You sleep better if the temperature in the room is kept on the cool side. A TV, cell phone, or computer in the bedroom can be a distraction and deprive you of needed sleep. Having a comfortable mattress and pillow can help promote a good night’s sleep. Individuals who have insomnia often watch the clock. Turn the clock’s face out of view so you don’t worry about the time while trying to fall asleep. Have the right sunlight exposure. Daylight is key to regulating daily sleep patterns. Try to get outside in natural sunlight for at least thirty minutes each day. If possible, wake up with the sun or use very bright lights in the morning. Sleep experts recommend that, if you have problems falling asleep, you should get an hour of exposure to morning sunlight and turn down the lights before bedtime. Don’t lie in bed awake. If you find yourself still awake after staying in bed for more than twenty minutes or if you are starting to feel anxious or worried, get up and do some relaxing activity until you feel sleepy.

Valley of the Damned. Valkyrie Kari tells of the great warrior Crazy Horse (abridged) ’Twas written of those of long ago, That honor should be “as long as grass shall grow.” In battle honor is a fearsome beast, none can contain, In the strength of heart, it brings only shame. A mighty warrior of the plains was he, Crazy Horse of Sioux battle creed. Given to the ravages of noble, savage war, Against his enemies, he vaulted fore. Peering down from lofty mountain hold, The Horse in dream; the warrior was of olde. The promises they were broken one by one, Until only war unbridled could be hardtily done. Understanding and honor was not for those weak, Only the evil Long-knives now he eagerly did seek. The Knives came to steal, to plunder their land, To kill sacred mother with marauding, guilty hands. They had no regard for their own swelling words, With lust in their eyes, their greed greatly stirred. From southern lands came noise that Longhair did kill, Black Kettle’s camp, their blood he had spilled. Longhair destroyed all; dastard agent of evil strife, Deprived them of children and their bountiful life. Yet this lone, brave holy man stood in Longhair’s way, Crazy Horse, vision man, his plans were well framed. His command rode north hard to that destined battle, To meet wicked Longhair—to dash him from the saddle. Fate led him on to Little Bighorn, Where warriors of the sun met with sacred horn. A hellish dry place of calamitous battle, Found many a soul hearing death’s final rattle. The Long-snakes scouted for the great camp, That morn’ they set their fateful, forked-tongue attack. They raised their sabers, waved them strong, Entered eternity, their deaths foresaw. A sea of pilfered blue engulfed in crimson red, Amidst swirls of feathers sacred of the motherland. Through carnage, The Horse did lead his men, Beyond the battle, to the place where legend began. Up hill rode the bold Crazy Horse, With a thousand others to show determined force. To engage Long-knives at their last stand, Striking them down until dead was every man. Great Gall and Crazy Horse led that righteous attack, Against forceful Custer, whose plans did not lack, For ’twas he himself who boasted, wantonly said, “I will become a great chief, if my enemies I fill with lead.” With righteous honor as their sacred ally, Holy arrows that day swiftly let fly. Horse met Longhair in battle forever stayed, Defeated mighty Custer; his corpse on the field in state. Upon that fateful day, on sage choked sandy plain, Spirits clashed with spirits, for the sacred domain. Unconquerable, indomitable this sacred warrior heart, Leads many against the evil now, for this righteous court. Thus, Horse brought the valiants into stark raved battle, Battle scarred by holy wounds delivered by blue devils. Yet he would not relent, this honorable man of gifted vision, But peace came through the lie; his life ended by steel incision. Breathing his last, quiet honor came his way, “Bring my heart home, the Great Spirit will find my way.” Thus ˊtis with all whose understanding shows what may, Honor leads righteousness to death, ask they of that claim. War spirit vigilant with mighty spear and bow in hand, Leads Great Plains spirits, under his gallant command. His spirit never conquered lives it to this good day, Among the heroic mighty, let us his spirit proclaim. In the hour of travail, honor can be finely seen, Leading multitudes unto battle, their hearts boundlessly free. Cowards can never know the freedom of the plains and wind, Or how she musters a soul and the courage found within. Born in deep commune of Earth and Great Spirit above, Understanding and honor flow from hearts of great love. One without understanding is a fool at best, One without honor is a spirit that ne’er rests. O’ majestic One of the relentless plain, The mountains ring joyous with thy name.

As another example, in samyama one may focus on the processes of time, change, and transformation. The siddhi that arises is the simultaneous perception of the past, present, and the future. The idea that the present contains the past is common knowledge; we call this memory. The idea that the present is also influenced by the future may seem odd, but this quasi-teleological concept is accommodated within today’s physics.153 For example, in quantum theory the idea that the present is constrained by both the past and the future is respectable, but of greater importance, there is now experimental evidence supporting it, published in 2012 in the journal Nature Physics.154 The originators of this concept are not mystics. They include physicist Yakir Aharonov, who was awarded the US National Medal of Science in 2010 and is regarded as one of the world’s leading quantum theorists.155, 156 The future influencing the present might sound strange, but practically everything seems strange the moment we step outside of the everyday world and probe either the inner depths or the outer limits of reality. Likewise, the siddhis seem contrary to common sense only because they arise from depths of awareness that lie far beyond the common senses.

The important question is this: Do artificial sweeteners increase insulin levels? Sucralose raises insulin by 20 percent, despite the fact that it contains no calories and no sugar. This insulin-raising effect has also been shown for other artificial sweeteners, including the “natural” sweetener stevia. Despite having a minimal effect on blood sugars, both aspartame and stevia raised insulin levels higher even than table sugar. Artificial sweeteners that raise insulin should be expected to be harmful, not beneficial. Artificial sweeteners may decrease calories and sugar, but not insulin. Yet it is insulin that drives weight gain and diabetes.92

to be discovered during the initial excavation of Knossos was the so-called Throne Room. It was a modestly-sized room, but what was so special about it was the gypsum throne built into the north wall. The throne had a high back and was surrounded by stone benches on either side. Opposite the throne were steps down to a recessed area, most likely a type of bathtub or water tank. Sir Arthur Evans, who oversaw the initial excavation, believed it was used for ritual purification, although a lack of drainage calls that interpretation into question. Some modern scholars believe it may have been an aquarium, water storage container, or even a menstrual pit. The walls behind the throne were decorated with what is known as the Griffin Fresco. It depicted two recumbent—lying down—griffins facing the throne with one on either side of it. Griffins were considered important mythological creatures, and they were often depicted attending a deity. Behind the griffins was a landscape in

You may think you want me, but it’s Denny you need. You deserve to be happy, Cecily. Adored, doted upon, surrounded by a half-dozen blue-eyed children. I want you to have that life.” “Then give me that life.” “I can’t. Don’t you see? Everything’s different now. I’m different now. I’m not that dashing, immortal youth who kissed you in the garden all those years ago.” She stroked his cheek. “I’m not the giddy, moonstruck girl you kissed. I’m a woman now, with my own fears and desires. And a heart that’s grown stronger than you’d credit. Strong enough to contain four years’ worth of love.” He cleared his throat and studied the wood paneling. The whorls of grain twisted and churned as he blinked. “You should have saved it for someone else.” “I’ve never wanted anyone else.” She tugged on his chin until he met her gaze. “Luke.

As we have said, the male brain is like a honeycomb of rooms and each room has its own special function. One room may contain spatial ability, the next has speech function, another has love, and so on. But most men have a special room that many women don’t have and don’t understand—it’s called the “Nothing Room.” Its name describes exactly what happens in this room—nothing. Not only is it empty, it’s a favorite room for most men. This is a place where a man’s mind goes when he’s fishing, watching TV, or just sitting in a chair with a blank look on his face. The Nothing Room has a purpose—to regenerate mental energy. A man needs four to five short meditations each day when he visits the Nothing Room to reenergize. Women do not have this same brain need, so when a man is in it, they ask, “What are you thinking?” When he answers, “Nothing,” the woman sees this as a lie and accuses him of concealing things from her. He thought he was just going to chill out for ten minutes, and suddenly he’s in an argument about thinking nothing. When a man says he’s thinking about nothing, it’s usually true. He’s also deaf at the time, so don’t discuss anything important with him—write him a note.

Witness, Heaven, how often I lie down in my bed with a wish, and even a hope, that I may never awaken again. And in the morning, when I open my eyes, I behold the sun once more, and am wretched. If I were whimsical, I might blame the weather, or an acquaintance, or some personal disappointment, for my discontented mind; and then this insupportable load of trouble would not rest entirely upon myself. But, alas! I feel it too sadly. I am alone the cause of my own woe, am I not? Truly, my own bosom contains the source of all my sorrow, as it previously contained the source of all my pleasure.

the New Testament contains no passages that clearly articulate a rule against homosexual practices. The Leviticus texts, of course, bluntly and explicitly prohibit male homosexual acts in a rule form. Paul, as we have seen, presupposes this prohibition—indeed, there may be an allusion in Romans 1:32 to Leviticus 20:13, with its prescription of the death penalty for a man who “lies with a male as with a woman”—but he neither repeats it explicitly nor issues any new rules on the subject. Consequently, if New Testament texts are to function normatively in the mode in which they speak, no direct appeal to Romans 1 as a source for rules about sexual conduct is possible. Similarly, 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 states no rule to govern the conduct of Christians; rather, it declares that they have already been transferred from an old life of sin to a new life of belonging to Jesus Christ. In other words, it presents a descriptive account of the new symbolic world within which discernments about Christian conduct are to be made (see further on this below).

78.3 Affability. Optimism and cheerfulness. Another virtue which makes social life more pleasant is affability. It may express itself in the form of a friendly greeting, a small compliment, a cordial gesture of encouragement. This virtue leads us to overcome our inclination to irritability, rash judgments and actions ... , basically, to live as though other people didn’t matter. Elizabeth’s start of joy at the Visitation emphasizes the gift that can be contained in a mere greeting, when it comes from a heart full of God. How often can the darkness of loneliness, oppressing a soul, be dispelled by the shining ray of a smile and a kind word! A good word is soon said; yet sometimes we find it difficult to utter. We are restrained by fatigue, we are distracted by worries, we are checked by a feeling of coldness or selfish indifference. Thus it happens that we may pass by persons, although we know them, without looking at their faces and without realizing how often they are suffering from that subtle, wearing sorrow which comes from feeling ignored. A cordial word, an affectionate gesture would be enough, and something would at once awaken in them: a sign of attention and courtesy can be a breath of fresh air in the stuffiness of an existence oppressed by sadness and dejection. Mary’s greeting filled with joy the heart of her elderly cousin Elizabeth (cf Luke 1:44).[496] This is how we can lighten the load of the people around us. Another aspect of affability lies in the practice of kindness, in understanding towards the defects and mistakes of other people (we don’t have to be constantly correcting others), in good manners evinced by our words and behaviour, in sympathy, cordiality and words of praise at an opportune moment ... The spirit of sweetness is truly the spirit of God ... It makes the truth understandable and acceptable. We have to be intransigent towards every form of evil; nevertheless, we have to deal kindly with our neighbour.[497] A truck-driver once pulled over at a highway rest stop for a cup of coffee. He needed a break because he had many miles ahead of him. He sat at the counter and a young boy came to wait on him. The truck-driver asked with a smile, Busy day? The young fellow looked up and smiled back. Some months later, the truck-driver returned to the same stop. Much to his surprise, the young fellow remembered him as if they were old friends. The truth is that people have a great thirst for smiles. They have an enormous longing for cheerfulness and encouragement. Every day we encounter a good number of people who await that momentary gift of our joy. Through the practice of the social virtues we can open up many doors. We cannot allow ourselves to be cut off from any of our neighbours or colleagues. The Lord wants us to do an effective apostolate of friendship and confidence. We need to introduce other people to that greatest of all gifts which is friendship with Jesus.

But note the fact, that when Abraham built on the Lord it was counted to him for righteousness. The Lord never makes any mistakes in His reckoning. When Abraham’s faith was reckoned to him for righteousness, it was because it was indeed righteousness. How so? Why, as Abraham built on God, he built on everlasting righteousness. “He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” He became one with the Lord, and so God’s righteousness was his own. “The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” Psalms 12.6. Therefore he who builds upon the Rock Jesus Christ, by accepting His word in living faith, builds upon a tried foundation. So we read: “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” 1 Peter 2.1-6 The force of this is not so clearly seen until we read the passage of Scripture, which is quoted by the apostle, in connection with the one that we have quoted from the Saviour’s Sermon on the Mount. Recalling the latter, we read from the prophecy of Isaiah: - “Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. And I will make judgment the line, and righteousness the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message.” Isaiah 28.16 Christ is the tried foundation. Righteousness is the plummet by which He is laid. His character is perfectly true and right. Satan exhausted all his arts in trying to lead Him to sin, and was unsuccessful. He is a sure foundation. We build on Him by believing His word, as He Himself said. The floods will surely come. There will be an overflowing scourge that will sweep away the refuge of lies, and all who have built on a false foundation. The house built on the sand will certainly fall. When the storm begins to beat with fury, those who have made lies their refuge will flee for their lives as their foundation begins to totter; but the flood will carry them away. This is the picture presented by the two passages of Scripture.

Like Wheeler and Feynman, Cramer proposed that the wavefunction of a particle moving forward in time is just one of two relevant waves determining its behavior. The retarded wave in Cramer’s theory is complemented by a response wave that travels specifically from the particle’s destination, in temporal retrograde. In his theory, a measurement, or an interaction, amounts to a kind of “handshake agreement” between the forward-in-time and backward-in-time influences.13 This handshake can extend across enormous lengths of time, if we consider what happens when we view the sky at night. As Cramer writes: When we stand in the dark and look at a star a hundred light years away, not only have the retarded waves from the star been traveling for a hundred years to reach our eyes, but the advanced waves generated by absorption processes within our eyes have reached a hundred years into the past, completing the transaction that permitted the star to shine in our direction.14 Cramer may not have been aware of it, but his poetic invocation of the spacetime greeting of the eye and a distant star, and the transactional process that would be involved in seeing, was actually a staple of medieval and early Renaissance optics. Before the ray theory of light emerged in the 1600s, it was believed that a visual image was formed when rays projecting out from the eye interacted with those coming into it. It goes to show that everything, even old physics, comes back in style if you wait long enough—and it is another reason not to laugh too hard, or with too much self-assurance, at hand-waving that seems absurd from one’s own limited historical or scientific standpoint. In short: Cramer’s and Aharonov’s theories both imply a backward causal influence from the photon’s destination. The destination of the photon “already knows” it is going to receive the photon, and this is what enables it to behave with the appropriate politeness. Note that neither of these theories have anything to do with billiard balls moving in reverse, a mirror of causation in which particles somehow fly through spacetime and interact in temporal retrograde. That had been the idea at the basis of Gerald Feinberg’s hypothesized tachyons, particles that travel faster than light and thus backward in time. It inspired a lot of creative thinking about the possibilities of precognition and other forms of ESP in the early 1970s (and especially inspired the science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick), but we can now safely set aside that clunky and unworkable line of thinking as “vulgar retrocausation.” No trace of tachyons has turned up in any particle accelerator, and they don’t make sense anyway. What we are talking about here instead is an inflection of ordinary particles’ observable behavior by something ordinarily unobservable: measurements—that is, interactions—that lie ahead in those particles’ future histories. Nothing is “moving” backwards in time—and really, nothing is “moving” forwards in time either. A particle’s twists and turns as it stretches across time simply contain information about both its past and its future.

A virus is a small capsule made of membranes and proteins. The capsule contains one or more strands of DNA or RNA, which are long molecules that contain the software program for making a copy of the virus. Some biologists classify viruses as “life forms,” because they are not strictly known to be alive. Viruses are ambiguously alive, neither alive nor dead. They carry on their existence in the borderlands between life and nonlife. Viruses that are outside cells merely sit there; nothing happens. They are dead. They can even form crystals. Virus particles that lie around in blood or mucus may seem dead, but the particles are waiting for something to come along. They have a sticky surface. If a cell comes along and touches the virus and the stickiness of the virus matches the stickiness of the cell, then the virus clings to the cell. The cell feels the virus sticking to it and enfolds the virus and drags it inside. Once the virus enters the cell, it becomes a Trojan horse. It switches on and begins to replicate.

Or to put it another way: when that which the proposition asserts is also the case. According to the first two propositions of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus: 1 The world is all that is the case. 1:1 The world is the totality of facts, not of things. THE BARBER AND WHAT IS WRONG with a proposition like “There are three dots in the world”? Russell may have asked in that hotel room, waving the sheet of paper in his hand. Well, as proposition 1:1 of the book establishes, “the world” (as a whole) is not itself a fact but only “the totality of facts.” One chief reason that Wittgenstein denied that propositions about the world could be meaningful lies in the following logic: If the world were itself a fact, it would—as only one fact among others—effectively include itself as a fact. It would be, as a world, on the one hand defined as a set of certain elements (here: the totality of facts) and at the same time an element of that set (hence: a fact). But a logical formalism that allows a set to contain itself as an element, leads—as none other than Russell himself had proved, Wittgenstein believed—to infernal logical complexities and, finally, to uncontrollable contradictions.

Every multicellular organism begins as one cell, which contains all of the intricate instructions to synthesize, organize, and regulate not only this cell but the development and maintenance of all cells that will inevitably comprise the organism. All of these instructions are encoded in the first cell's DNA. This underscores the complexity of the genome and how each cell's expression must be controlled in specific ways depending on its function. The cells hailing from each tissue in the human body (e.g., muscle, lung, heart, liver) harbor a unique epigen­etic signature, which enables the maintenance of tissue-specific func­tions through the control of gene regulation, as just discussed. "Our knowledge of the total number of unique cells, or cell types, is still growing. Previous estimates put the number of unique cell types in the human body at ~300, but new estimates from the Human Cell Atlas have shown that we may have thousands of cell types and subtypes, each harboring a unique function for a specific physiological state or response to stimuli. But even cells of the same cell type will not be identical. A cell's 'presentation' of molecules on their surface can radi­cally change depending on internal variables such as genetic mutations or altered states of their epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome, as well as external stimuli including drugs and interactions with other cells. This novel presentation is most pronounced with a neoantigen, when a cancer cell creates an entirely new molecule on the surface of a cell. Given its unique presentation, which wouldn't be found in nor­mal cells, this offers a unique target for safer cancer therapies. "The human body has about 30 trillion human cells plus another 30-40 trillion bacterial cells, for a total of about 70 trillion cells. If your body were a democracy, the human cells would often be the minority or equal party. You (as a human) would never win an election. Your loss of control would likely result in you rolling around in the soil or lying in a bathtub full of yogurt, which I do sometimes on Sundays. Regard­less of how you spend your Sundays, there are a lot of microbes in, on, and around your body. There are in fact so many microbes that they compose the bulk of the cells on Earth. This is a humbling and exciting statistic, and one which is vividly apparent for anyone who has ever had explosive diarrhea.

Part of the ambiguity that students need to learn to deal with in the course of their preparation to serve and be served by the present society is that it is a high form of art to ask the right questions. But it is also unrealistic to expect that someone else has answers for them. I said at the outset that many of the questions students have asked me during these days I regard as unanswerable except as one ventures into some experience and learns to respond, in the situation, to the immediate problems one confronts. And to do this one must have learned how to open one’s awareness to receive insight, inspiration, in the moment of need. One must accept that only venturing into uncertainty with faith that if one is adequately prepared to deal with the ambiguity, in the situation, the answer to the questions will come. The certainty one needs to face the demanding situations of life does not lie in having answers neatly catalogued in advance of the experience. That, in fact, is a formula for failure—one is surprised, sometimes demoralized, by the unexpected. Dependable certainty (which we all need a lot of) lies in confidence that one’s preparation is adequate so that one may venture into the experience without pre-set answers but with assurance that creative insight will emerge in the situation when needed, and that it will be right for the situation because it is an answer generated in the situation. A liberal education provides the best context I know of for preparing inexperienced people to venture into the unknown, to face the inexactitude and the wildness, with assurance. But, having said that the conventional liberal arts curriculum is the best context for such preparation, I must also say that it usually does not contain the preparation—and it should.

I lied a little. There are things I don’t want to tell you. How lonely I am today and sick at heart. How the rain falls steadily and cold on a garden grown greener, more lush and even less tame. I haven’t done much, I confess, to contain it. The grapevine, as usual, threatens everything in its path, while the raspberry canes, aggressive and abundant, are clearly out of control. I’m afraid the wildflowers have taken over, being after all the most hardy and tolerant of shade and neglect. This year the violets and lilies of the valley are rampant, while the phlox are about to emit their shocking pink perfume.

Ashoka’s dilemma may lie behind the story of the Mahabharata, India’s great epic. This massive work—eight times the length of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey combined—is an anthology of many strands of tradition transmitted orally from about 300 BCE but not committed to writing until the early Common Era. The Mahabharata is more than a narrative poem, however. It remains the Indian national saga and is the most popular of all India’s sacred texts, familiar in every home. It contains the Bhagavad-Gita, which has been called India’s “national gospel.”103 In the twentieth century, during the buildup to independence, the Gita would play a central role in the discussions about the legitimacy of waging war against Britain.

There was no effect when non-political claims were challenged, but countering political positions triggered their amygdala. That’s the same part of the brain that’s activated when a tiger attacks you, inducing a ‘fight-or-flight’ response. People respond to opposing views as if they’re being chased by a wild animal. The amygdala overrides the prefrontal cortex, the rational part of the brain.

PRAYER is not a technique, it is not a ritual, it is not a formality. There is no pattern to it. It is a spontaneous outpouring of the heart, so don't ask how, because there is no how and there cannot be any how to it. Whatsoever happens in the moment is right. If tears come, good. If you sing, good. If you dance, good. If nothing comes and you simply remain silent, good. Because prayer is not in the expression; it is not in the container, it is in the content. Sometimes silence is prayerful, sometimes singing is prayerful. It depends on you, it depends on the heart. So if I say sing, and you sing because I have told you to sing, then the prayer is false from the very beginning. Listen to your heart, feel your moment, and let it be. And whatsoever happens is good. Sometimes nothing will happen, but that is what is happening. You allow it, you don't impose your will on it. When you ask how, you are trying to impose your will, you are trying to plan. That's how prayer has been missed. Prayer has to arise in you, it has to flower in you. And each moment has its own prayer, and each mood has its own prayer. Sometimes you may feel very sad, because sadness also belongs to God. Sadness is also divine. There is no necessity to always be happy. Then sadness is your prayer. Then let your heart cry and let your eyes pour down tears. Then let sadness be offered to God. Whatsoever is there in your heart, let it be offered to the Divine Feet -- joy or sadness, sometimes even anger. Sometimes one is angry with God. If you cannot be angry with God, you have not yet known love. Sometimes one is really in a deep rage. Then let anger be your prayer. Fight with God -- He is yours, you are His, and love knows no formality. Love can survive all fights. If it cannot survive a fight, then it is not love. Never be inauthentic with God because that is the way of not being with Him. Whom are you trying to deceive? The smile on your face is not going to deceive God; your truth will be known to Him. He can only know your truth; lies don't exist for Him. So let the truth be there. Talk to Him as one talks to one's lover, one's friend, one's mother. Talk to Him as one talks to a small child. Let the moment decide, let the moment be decisive, and the truth of the moment should be your prayer. That's my answer: the truth of the moment, whatsoever it is, unconditionally, should be your prayer. And once you allow the truth of the moment to possess you, you will start growing, and you will know tremendous beauties of prayer.
Osho (The Beloved, Vol 2)
O pious of the heart, I am lost in a love, so great O pain the hidden secrets will become open debate. Shipwrecked we just float, O favorable wind arise, May we one more time gaze upon that familiar trait. Passage of time and the stars, are but what we fantasize For compassion and kindness, it is never too late. In the circle of wine and roses, nightingale’s song is prize With the aroma and the wine your senses satiate. O Thou compassionate one, life giver and the wise One day bestow thy grace upon this mendicant’s state. For peace of this world and the next, understand what I advise Magnanimity the lot of friends, and with foes try to relate. In the land of repute, our passage they will dispute If this will not suit, don’t stay mute, and transmute dictates of fate. When destitute and in need, let your love and passion breed Life’s alchemy, essence and seed, unimagined wealth shall create. If unruly with pride, with a candle’s zeal your flame will rise Beloved turns stone to lava, and molten wax manipulate. The Grail contains but wine, if only you realize Then the Kingdom of the world, at your feet prostrate. The good and wise Magi, forgivers of lives and lies Bearer bring good news, drunkards’ wine consecrate. With this wine stained robe, Hafiz would never disguise O untainted pure Master, exempt us from this fate

It’s natural that we should fear and be suspicious of representations of us by those who are not like us. Equally rational is the assumption that those who are like us will at least take care with their depictions, and will be motivated by love and intimate knowledge instead of prejudice and phobia. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, writing by women, and by oppressed minorities of all kinds, has wondrously expanded the literary landscape, ennobling griefs that had, historically, either passed unnoticed or been brutally suppressed and caricatured. We’re eager to speak for ourselves. But in our justified desire to level or even obliterate the old power structures—to reclaim our agency when it comes to the representation of selves—we can, sometimes, forget the mystery that lies at the heart of all selfhood. Of what a self may contain that is both unseen and ultimately unknowable. Of what invisible griefs we might share, over and above our many manifest and significant differences. We also forget what writers are: people with voices in our heads and a great deal of inappropriate curiosity about the lives of others.

S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien speaks to this innate human desire for being part of larger-than-life stories, quests, and victories—the draw of our hearts toward “myths,” which Lewis said were “lies and therefore worthless, even though breathed through silver.” “No,” Tolkien replied, “they are not lies.” Far from being untrue, myths are the best way—sometimes the only way—of conveying truths that would otherwise remain inexpressible. We have come from God, Tolkien argued, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they do contain error, still reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily toward the true harbor.10

and the title of the picture was ‘The Deserted Garden.’ Alice had often said that it was one of the few pictures that she had ever really liked and I suppose somebody must have repeated the remark to Paul. The result was that Paul, who had painted the picture, gave it to Alice. Nothing is happening in the picture, but much has already happened and in it there is the promise, or the threat, of the future. The plaster peels from the walls, the glass is broken in the Gothic window, the green shutter falls forward. But nothing happens; the final decay of that window and of the garden beyond is not yet. It may be that the house will be restored, that the rank grass will be mown, that the flower-pot which lies on its side will be righted and the plant it contains will flourish.

[...] 'He who sees me sees the Truth' (man raani faqad raa al-Haqq). There, in fact, lies the mystery of 'prophetic' manifestation, and it is known that according to Hebrew tradition, aslo, Metatron is both the agent of 'theophanies' and the very principle of prophecy, which, expressed in Islamic language, amounts to saying that he is none other than ar-Ruh al-muhammadiyyah [the spirit of Muhammad], within which all the prophets and divine messengers are one, and which, in the 'lower world,' finds its ultimate expression in him who is their 'seal' (Khatim al-anbiai wa'l-mursalin), that is, the one who reunites them into one final synthesis that is the reflection of their principial unity in the 'higher world' (where it is awwal Khalqi' Llah, the last in the manifested order by being analogically the first in the principial order), and who is thus the 'lord of the first and the last' (seyyid al-awwalin wa'l-akhirin). It is thus and only thus that all the names and titles of the Prophet can be understood in their profundity, which names, in fact, are those of 'Universal Man' (al-Insan al Kamil), ultimately totalizing in him all the degrees of Existence as they have all ben contained in him since the beginning : alayhi salatu Rabbil 'Arshi dawman, 'May the prayer of the Lord of the Throne be upon him forever!'

But let it be a spontaneous pouring of your heart. Never be inauthentic with God because that is the way of not being with Him. If you are insincere with God -- deep down you are complaining, and on the surface praying? -- then God will see the complaint, not the prayer. You have been false. He can look directly into your heart. Whom are you trying to deceive? The smile on your face is not going to deceive God; your truth will be known to Him. He can only know your truth; lies don't exist for Him. So let the truth be there. You simply present your truth to Him and say that today you are angry, you are angry with His world, you are angry with Him, you are angry with your life: "I hate it! And I cannot pray, so you will have to remain without my prayer today. I suffer much; now you suffer." Talk to Him as one talks to one's lover, one's friend, one's mother. Talk to Him as one talks to a small child.

I looked at Mount Neva and thought about how for me, Diana had brought a new twist to our lives being just tiny blips in the grand arc of time. She reminded me that while our flashes may be brief, some of them are impossibly bright, and everything that matters is contained in the ways your own light sparks the ones that lie in everybody else.

some types of meditation the meditator envisions or contemplates or analyzes certain elementary shapes, holding them in the mind to the exclusion of everything else. Or students may contemplate in a state of adoration a Buddha or a Bodhisattva image, hoping to evoke in themselves parallel states of mind. They may ponder such abstract qualities as loving-kindness and compassion. In Tantric Buddhist systems of meditation, mandalas containing various seed syllables of the Sanskrit alphabet—such as Om, for example—are visualized and dwelt upon in a prescribed manner. Also employed for meditational purposes are mandalas consisting of special arrangements of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and other figures. The uniqueness of zazen lies in this: that the mind is freed from bondage to all thought-forms, visions, objects, and imaginings, however sacred or elevating, and brought to a state of absolute emptiness, from which alone it may one day perceive its own true nature, or the nature of the universe.

A Best 10 Sites To Buy LinkedIn Accounts Safely 500+ Connections Considering buying LinkedIn accounts to fast-track your professional network? Discover why it’s risky, the real consequences, and how to build a powerful, authentic LinkedIn presence that lasts. Introduction LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional networking platform, boasting over 900 million users globally. It’s the go-to space for job seekers, recruiters, entrepreneurs, and businesses looking to build meaningful connections and grow professionally. Because of LinkedIn’s immense influence, many users seek shortcuts to rapidly expand their network and boost their presence. One controversial approach that has surfaced in online forums and dark web marketplaces is the idea of buying LinkedIn accounts. On paper, it might seem like a fast-track to instant connections and credibility. But beneath the surface lies a minefield of risks and ethical pitfalls.

Building a powerful LinkedIn presence from scratch requires time, effort, and strategic thinking. For some professionals and marketers, the pace can feel painfully slow. Common reasons why some consider purchasing LinkedIn accounts include: Access to an Established Network: Accounts with thousands of connections seem like a golden ticket to instant influence. Instant Social Proof: A profile with many connections and endorsements can give the appearance of credibility. Time-Saving: Avoiding the grind of organic growth and outreach. Lead Generation Shortcut: Jumpstarting outreach or sales campaigns with pre-existing connections. At first glance, buying an account looks like a “hack” for faster success. But as the saying goes—if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. The Real Dangers of Buying LinkedIn Accounts 1. Violation of LinkedIn’s Terms of Service (TOS) LinkedIn’s policies strictly forbid buying, selling, or transferring accounts. If detected, LinkedIn can suspend or permanently ban your account—meaning you lose everything you worked for. There’s no appeal or second chance. 2. Loss of Control and Authenticity When you buy an account, you inherit someone else’s identity, network, and content. This mismatch can confuse connections, make your profile inconsistent, and erode trust. People connect with you, not just a profile. 3. Security and Privacy Risks Purchasing accounts often involves shady marketplaces or unverified sellers. This opens the door to scams, hacked accounts, or even accounts flagged for suspicious activity, putting your reputation and data at risk. 4. Irrelevant or Fake Connections A large network is useless if connections aren’t relevant to your industry or goals. Worse, some accounts have connections that are fake, spammy, or bots—leading to ineffective outreach and wasted effort. 5. Potential Legal and Ethical Consequences LinkedIn accounts often contain personal data. Transferring ownership may violate data privacy laws and professional ethics, especially in regulated industries. Case Study: What Happens When You Buy a LinkedIn Account? Imagine Sarah, a marketing consultant who buys a LinkedIn account with 5,000 connections. Initially, she enjoys increased profile views and a spike in messages. But soon: She receives complaints from connections who notice her inconsistent background and messaging. LinkedIn flags the account for suspicious behavior, resulting in a temporary suspension. Many connections are irrelevant to her niche, leading to low engagement. She struggles to regain trust and rebuild

How to Safely Buy Old Gmail Accounts Meta Description Thinking about buying old Gmail accounts? Discover the hidden risks, legal pitfalls, security dangers, and why building your own email reputation is a smarter, safer choice. Learn the facts and explore better alternatives for business success. The Truth About Buying Old Gmail Accounts: Risks, Realities & Smarter Alternatives In the fast-paced digital world, finding shortcuts to build online presence and launch marketing campaigns is tempting. One such shortcut that has attracted attention is buying old or aged Gmail accounts. Advertised as pre‑verified, trustworthy, and less likely to be flagged by spam filters, these accounts promise marketers and businesses a fast track to success. But beneath the surface lies a complex web of legal, ethical, and security challenges that many don’t fully understand—challenges that could jeopardize your entire business operation. In this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know about buying old Gmail accounts: what they are, the associated risks, real‑world marketplace realities, user experiences, Google’s policies, and most importantly, smarter and safer alternatives.

When people talk about “old” or “aged” Gmail accounts, they mean accounts that have been created months or years ago, often verified with phone numbers and linked to recovery options. The key appeal? Established history: Older accounts supposedly carry more “trust” with Google, potentially reducing spam flagging and improving deliverability. Verified status: Many sellers claim these accounts are phone-verified and linked to real identities, which can be advantageous when accessing services like YouTube, Google Ads, or other Google platforms. Bypass restrictions: New account creation often triggers strict verification, CAPTCHAs, or usage limitations. Buying an aged account can seem like a way to skip these barriers. These perceived benefits make aged Gmail accounts attractive for email marketing, SEO, affiliate marketing, YouTube channel management, and more. Why Buying Old Gmail Accounts Is Riskier Than It Looks Despite these advantages, buying aged Gmail accounts is fraught with serious risks that far outweigh the benefits. 1. Legal and Policy Violations Google’s Terms of Service explicitly forbid the buying and selling of Gmail accounts. Using purchased accounts violates these rules, often resulting in: Immediate suspension or permanent banning of the account. Loss of access to Google services linked to the account, including Drive files, YouTube channels, and AdSense earnings. More importantly, possessing an account you didn’t create might violate laws related to: Computer fraud (e.g., unauthorized access under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in the U.S.). Identity theft or impersonation laws. Data privacy regulations like GDPR if personal data is mishandled. Breaking these laws can lead to legal consequences, including fines and even criminal charges. 2. Security and Privacy Concerns When buying an old Gmail account, you never truly know its past. Here are some hidden dangers: Compromised Reputation: The account might have been used previously for spamming, phishing, or malware distribution, leading to blacklisting or permanent reputation damage. Original Owner Access: The seller or original owner might retain control via linked recovery emails or phone numbers, meaning they can regain access or sabotage your efforts. Hidden Malware or Forwarding Rules: Malicious actors can embed forwarding rules that send your incoming emails to third parties, or leave harmful attachments and scripts. Privacy Violations: These accounts may contain sensitive information

Loss of Control and Authenticity When you buy an account, you inherit someone else’s identity, network, and content. This mismatch can confuse connections, make your profile inconsistent, and erode trust. People connect with you, not just a profile. 3. Security and Privacy Risks Purchasing accounts often involves shady marketplaces or unverified sellers. This opens the door to scams, hacked accounts, or even accounts flagged for suspicious activity, putting your reputation and data at risk. 4. Irrelevant or Fake Connections A large network is useless if connections aren’t relevant to your industry or goals. Worse, some accounts have connections that are fake, spammy, or bots—leading to ineffective outreach and wasted effort. 5. Potential Legal and Ethical Consequences LinkedIn accounts often contain personal data. Transferring ownership may violate data privacy laws and professional ethics, especially in regulated industries. Case Study: What Happens When You Buy a LinkedIn Account? Imagine Sarah, a marketing consultant who buys a LinkedIn account with 5,000 connections. Initially, she enjoys increased profile views and a spike in messages. But soon: She receives complaints from connections who notice her inconsistent background and messaging. LinkedIn flags the account for suspicious behavior, resulting in a temporary suspension. Many connections are irrelevant to her niche, leading to low engagement. She struggles to regain trust and rebuild her network authentically. Sarah’s experience illustrates why bu

Can I Get My Money Back from Kraken?{~Process~} The question “Can I get my money back from Kraken?” [1-833-611-5006] resonates with anyone who has ever deposited funds into [1-833-611-5006] a system that suddenly feels less like a tool and more like a sealed chamber. When energy—money—is introduced into a reactor, it does not always [1-833-611-5006] flow back out as quickly or as smoothly as expected [1-833-611-5006]. To answer whether money can be retrieved from Kraken, we must dissect the laboratory physics of deposits, withdrawals, compliance protocols, and blockchain transactions [1-833-611-5006]. The First Law: Money as Conserved Energy In science, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed [1-833-611-5006]. Similarly, money deposited into Kraken does not vanish; it is conserved, but it may exist in states that are temporarily inaccessible [1-833-611-5006]. To “get money back” is to convert this stored energy into a usable, liquid form—fiat in your bank or crypto in your external wallet [1-833-611-5006]. The challenge lies in the transformation process, not in the conservation principle [1-833-611-5006]. Fiat Refunds and Banking Reversals If a fiat deposit fails due to incorrect account details [1-833-611-5006] or rejected wires, the money often returns automatically, like a failed phase transition where liquid never becomes gas [1-833-611-5006]. The funds bounce back into the original container—your bank—within several business days [1-833-611-5006]. In these cases, you do get your money back, but not because Kraken “refunded” it; rather, the transformation failed and reversed naturally [1-833-611-5006]. Fiat Withdrawals: Slow But Possible When fiat is successfully deposited, [1-833-611-5006] it can be withdrawn through ACH, wire, or SEPA [1-833-611-5006]. The process is slow because fiat pipelines are clogged with friction, like thick molasses moving through narrow tubes [1-833-611-5006]. Yet the funds do arrive, usually within 1–5 business days depending on method [1-833-611-5006]. In this sense, yes, you can get your money back, but patience is the reagent required [1-833-611-5006]. Crypto Transactions: The Irreversible Reaction With cryptocurrency, the physics shift dramatically [1-833-611-5006]. Once a crypto withdrawal is processed to an external wallet, the blockchain records it permanently, like wood burning into ash [1-833-611-5006]. There is no reversal, no refund button, no chemical that turns ash back into wood [1-833-611-5006]. If funds are sent to the wrong address or to a scammer, the answer to “can I get my money back?” is scientifically, no [1-833-611-5006]. This truth is often painful, but it is built into the very structure of blockchain physics [1-833-611-5006].

How to Stay Safe to buy Verified wise Accounts’ Sellers in Online” People see an attractive offer — “verified account for sale,” “instant verification,” or “pre-verified Wise account” — and it can look like a shortcut. But these shortcuts often come at a steep cost: stolen identity, frozen funds, scams, and even criminal exposure. You’ve got every right to want a faster process, but not at the expense of your money, privacy, or legal standing. This article explains how these schemes work, why they're dangerous, and, most importantly, how to protect yourself. We’ll also cover legitimate ways to get verified with Wise and other financial services.

An account that was verified by the original owner and then given or sold to another person (this violates most service agreements). Stolen accounts. Accounts taken via phishing, SIM swapping, or other hacks and then resold. Fake guarantees. Sellers claiming they can guarantee verification (often a lie; they may use fake documents or temporary access). All of these are red flags. Verified accounts contain real identity attributes, and using someone else’s verified identity is both risky and against the terms of virtually every financial service. Even if a seller seems “legit,” the account could be reclaimed or seized, leaving you out of pocket and potentially exposed to legal action. Legal & policy risks: Why buying accounts is a bad move Financial services — including Wise — require accurate identity information for compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) rules. Buying or using a verified account that belongs to someone else: Violates terms of service and can lead to account suspension and asset freeze. Can be considered facilitating fraud or money laundering depending on jurisdiction. Exposes you to identity theft if the original owner or seller keeps records. Means you lack legal standing to recover funds if something goes wrong. There’s no “safe middle” here: the platform’s terms, plus regulatory requirements, make purchased accounts inherently unstable and dangerous. Common scams and how they operate Scammers are inventive. Here are frequent playbooks: Escrow fakery: Seller claims to use an escrow service — often fake — to “guarantee” a safe transfer. The escrow disappears after you pay. Deposit-then-disappear: Seller asks for upfront payment and vanishes. “Rental” schemes: Seller provides temporary access while retaining control; they later revert ownership or drain funds. Phishing follow-ups: The “seller” asks for personal data to “complete the transfer,” then uses it for identity theft. Fake reviews & sockpuppets: Sellers create fake social proof to appear legitimate. Understanding these patterns helps you spot them fast. How to spot a fake seller: 18 warning signs Use this checklist whenever an offer appears: Unsolicited direct messages on social media or marketplaces. Sellers insisting on off-platform payments (gift cards, crypto, or wire transfers). No verifiable business presence or inconsistent details. Pressure to act “now” or “only today.” Promises of guaranteed verification. Requests for sensitive personal documents before you commit. No clear refund policy or fake “escrow.

In the digital age, email accounts are foundational for personal and business communication. Among various email providers, Gmail stands out as the most popular due to its reliability, security, and integration with Google services. For many reasons—whether for marketing, business, or personal use—buying old Gmail accounts has become a common practice. However, navigating this market requires understanding the risks, legal considerations, and best practices to ensure a safe and effective transaction. USAOnlineIT offers insights into purchasing old Gmail accounts safely, maximizing value, and maintaining account integrity. If You Want To More Information Just Contact Now: WhatsApp: +12363000983 Telegram: @usaonlineit Email: usaonlineit@gmail.com Understanding the Concept of Old Gmail Accounts An old Gmail account refers to an email account that has been active for an extended period, often several years. These accounts usually have established credibility, a history of activity, and sometimes accumulated data such as contacts, old emails, or even verified information. The primary appeal of purchasing such accounts lies in their perceived trustworthiness; older accounts are less likely to be flagged as new or suspicious by spam filters or other security systems. Many online platforms and services favor or even require older accounts for verification purposes because they demonstrate legitimacy and reduce the risk of fraud. Additionally, older Gmail accounts often come with pre-set recovery options, existing contacts, and sometimes a history of genuine activity, making them valuable for various online ventures. However, buyers must understand that the value of an old Gmail account depends on its age, activity level, and authenticity. When considering purchasing, always verify the account’s history and ensure it aligns with your intended use. USAOnlineIT provides guidance on identifying genuine old accounts and securing them after purchase. Legal and Ethical Considerations in Buying Gmail Accounts Before purchasing an old Gmail account, it’s vital to understand the legal and ethical implications involved. Legally, Gmail accounts are tied to Google’s terms of service, which prohibit the sale, transfer, or sharing of accounts without explicit permission. Engaging in such transactions may violate these terms, potentially resulting in account suspension or legal consequences. Ethically, buying accounts can raise concerns about authenticity and trustworthiness. If the account was created and used by someone else, it may contain private information, or be linked to malicious activities, such as spam or scams. Buyers should be cautious to avoid supporting illegal or unethical practices. The safest and most legitimate approach is to purchase accounts from trusted providers who ensure the accounts were legally obtained, have a clear ownership history, and do not violate Google’s policies. USAOnlineIT emphasizes transparency and legality in all transactions, helping clients avoid legal issues and ensuring peace of mind when buying old Gmail accounts. Why Businesses and Marketers Prefer Old Gmail Accounts Businesses and digital marketers often prefer old Gmail accounts for various strategic reasons. Firstly, older accounts tend to have higher trust levels with spam filters, making them more effective for outreach campaigns without risking immediate flagging as spam. They often have an established reputation, which can be leveraged for email marketing, customer outreach, or brand building. Additionally, old Gmail accounts come with a history of activity, including contacts, previous emails, and sometimes verified phone numbers or recovery options. This history can lend credibility to new campaigns.

Your car deserves more than a basic wash, and professional detailing delivers results that last.  Buff & Beyond's Car Detailing  combines advanced chemistry with proven techniques to transform your vehicle inside and out. This deep dive is for car enthusiasts, daily drivers, and anyone curious about what separates professional detailing from DIY car care. You'll discover why certain products work better than others and how skilled technicians achieve that showroom finish. We'll explore the chemistry behind professional cleaning compounds and how they interact with different surfaces. You'll also learn about advanced paint correction techniques that remove scratches and swirl marks, plus protective coating applications that keep your car looking pristine for months. Table of Contents How pH levels affect different car surfaces Your Attractive Heading The molecular science of dirt and contaminant removal Chemical bonding between protective coatings and paint Why temperature and humidity impact detailing results Multi-point inspection processes for every vehicle Equipment calibration for optimal performance Before and after documentation methods How pH levels affect different car surfaces Different materials on your vehicle respond uniquely to various pH levels, making this knowledge crucial for  professional detailing . Car paint thrives with mildly acidic to neutral products (pH 6-7), while alkaline cleaners (pH 8-10) excel at breaking down organic contaminants like road grime and bug splatter. Chrome and aluminum surfaces require careful pH management – ​​anything too acidic can cause permanent etching, while excessive alkalinity may lead to oxidation. Your Attractive Heading Glass surfaces tolerate a wider pH range, but neutral to slightly alkaline cleaners prevent water spotting and streaking. Leather interiors demand pH-neutral products to maintain their natural oils and prevent cracking. Fabric upholstery responds well to mildly alkaline solutions for stain removal, but requires pH balancing afterward to prevent fiber damage. Professional detailers at facilities like Buff & Beyond's Car Detailing understand these nuances and select products accordingly, testing pH levels before application to ensure optimal results without surface damage. The molecular science of dirt and contaminant removal Dirt removal operates on fundamental molecular principles involving surfactants – molecules with both water-loving (hydrophilic) and oil-loving (lipophilic) ends. These cleaning agents reduce surface tension, allowing water to penetrate and lift away contaminants that would otherwise cling to paint surfaces. Different contaminants require specific molecular approaches. Tree sap and tar contain complex hydrocarbon chains that dissolve best in petroleum-based solvents. Iron fallout from brake dust forms molecular bonds with paint that require chelating agents – chemicals that grab onto metal particles and encapsulate them for safe removal. Road salt creates ionic bonds that water alone cannot break. Professional-grade cleaners use specialized surfactant blends that disrupt these ionic connections at the molecular level. Bug splatter contains proteins that denature under alkaline conditions, which is why bug removers typically maintain higher pH levels. The key lies in matching the molecular structure of the cleaning agent to the contaminant type.  This scientific approach prevents the aggressive scrubbing that damages clear coats and ensures complete removal without surface scratching. Chemical bonding between protective coatings and paint Modern protective coatings create chemical bonds with automotive paint through several mechanisms. Ceramic coatings utilize silicon dioxide molecules that form covalent bonds with the clear coat's polymer chains. More on : buffnbeyond.ca

  Shadow work is a profound practice of turning inward to meet the parts of ourselves we'd rather not see. Drawing from Carl Jung's groundbreaking psychological work, it's the practice of illuminating our hidden fears, buried insecurities, and unprocessed emotions that live quietly in our unconscious. When we bring these shadow aspects into awareness and learn to integrate them with compassion, we open pathways to authentic self-acceptance, deep healing, and meaningful transformation. Tarot becomes an invaluable companion on this inner journey. Rich with archetypal symbolism and layered meanings, the Tarot deck functions as both mirror and map, reflecting back what lies beneath the surface while guiding us through the landscape of our inner world. Each card we draw offers a doorway into unexplored territory, revealing truths about our shadow and lighting the way toward greater wholeness. When we bring Tarot into shadow work, the practice deepens in powerful ways. Here's how these cards can support your journey forward: Deepening Self-Inquiry: Drawing cards create natural pauses for reflection. Each spread invites us to sit with uncomfortable questions about what we fear, what we crave, and what truly drives us. This practice builds a bridge between our everyday awareness and the hidden dimensions of our psyche. Uncovering Unconscious Patterns: We all carry behavioral loops we don't fully recognize, patterns that shape our relationships and choices without our conscious consent. Tarot brings these cycles into view, helping us trace how past wounds continue to influence present circumstances. This recognition becomes the first step toward choosing differently. Exploring Emotional Complexity: Every card in the deck speaks to specific emotional and psychological territories. The Moon may surface our deepest anxieties and the illusions we cling to for safety, while the Tower confronts us with necessary disruption and the call to rebuild. Working with these archetypal energies helps us name and understand emotions we've struggled to articulate. Creating Space for Emotional Release: The cards offer a contained, sacred space where suppressed feelings can finally be acknowledged. When we give voice to what we've held back, we create movement where there was stagnation, opening ourselves to healing and building the emotional resilience that shadow work requires. Cultivating Radical Self-Acceptance: The heart of shadow work is integration, learning to embrace every facet of who we are, including the parts that shame us. Tarot holds space for this work with remarkable gentleness, offering insight without judgment. As we recognize our shadows not as flaws but as essential threads in the tapestry of our being, we develop a more loving, complete relationship with ourselves. My own journey with shadow work and Tarot has been nothing short of life-changing. The cards have helped me face aspects of myself I spent years avoiding, and each reading has offered opportunities for breakthrough, understanding, and genuine healing. This practice hasn't just expanded my self-awareness; it's fundamentally shifted how I relate to myself and others, deepening my capacity for empathy and compassion in ways I couldn't have imagined. If you're feeling the call to explore your own depths, I'd be honored to guide you. Together, we can use Tarot as a lantern in the darkness, bringing light to what's been hidden and helping you reconnect with your most authentic self. There's profound wholeness waiting to be discovered. Your journey toward integration and empowerment can begin today. More on : tarotthreads.org

Mitolyn Reviews (SAFETY REPORT) Consumer Complaints, Ingredients, and What Doctors Reveal About Side Effects TRY MITOLYN WITH MONEY BACK GUARANTEE This report analyzes verified Mitolyn reviews, medical commentaries, and consumer feedback to separate fact from hype. Unlike stimulant-heavy weight loss products, Mitolyn's formula avoids appetite suppression or artificial thermogenesis. Instead, it aims to "retrain" the body's cellular energy system through mitochondrial repair and activation. This claim has drawn attention from both doctors and consumers, especially as "metabolic reset" supplements dominate wellness discussions in 2025. Mitolyn Reviews 2025: The Rise of Mitochondria-Based Supplements When Mitolyn reviews began trending on Reddit, WebMD, and Morningstar, it became clear this was not just another passing fad. Mitolyn's momentum stems from its connection to the science of mitochondrial health. For decades, fat loss focused on calories, carbs, and cardio. But 2025 marks a paradigm shift. Medical professionals and researchers are now focusing on mitochondria, the microscopic powerhouses inside cells that determine how efficiently the body burns fat and produces energy. Mitolyn stands out due to its non-stimulant approach. It contains no caffeine, artificial thermogenics, or hormonal manipulation. Instead, Mitolyn aims to reactivate metabolic flexibility, the body's ability to seamlessly switch between burning glucose and fat for fuel. Clinical experts have long observed that people struggling with weight gain, fatigue, or brain fog often share a common issue: sluggish or damaged mitochondria. TRY MITOLYN WITH MONEY BACK GUARANTEE Users describe a "slow ignition phase" followed by internal changes: steadier energy, easier appetite control, and consistent fat-burning over several weeks. Many compare it to recharging a dead battery, with results compounding as cells regain efficiency. Unlike stimulant-based fat burners that cause burnout, Mitolyn reviews show a gradual but stable metabolic restoration. Medical commentators agree that the science is plausible. Mitolyn's core ingredients—PQQ, CoQ10, Berberine, L-Carnitine, and Resveratrol—have been studied for their role in cellular energy and fat metabolism. Together, they form a "mitochondrial biogenesis stack," designed to help the body generate new mitochondria and improve the efficiency of existing ones. Doctors note that as mitochondria regain function, users may notice increased daily energy without the highs and crashes of caffeine. "This approach is about efficiency, not stimulation. When cells start converting energy properly, fat loss becomes a downstream effect rather than a forced process." Mitolyn reviews are spreading among consumers who've "tried everything," from middle-aged users with hormonal weight gain to younger adults struggling with chronic fatigue. Data reveals consistency: over 87% of verified users reported steady progress within 4-6 weeks, including better energy and appetite balance, a contrast to the crash-and-burn of traditional diet aids. Some critics question whether the "mitochondrial reset" approach can deliver lasting fat loss without lifestyle change. Others warn that counterfeit products sold by unauthorized online resellers have led to confusion and negative feedback. Ultimately, Mitolyn's success lies in timing. As metabolic science converges with demand for safer, long-term solutions, it's no surprise this formula is dominating wellness conversations. Whether it's the next evolution of fat-loss science or the first credible step, the focus on mitochondrial health is here to stay. Mitolyn Benefits: Fat-Burn, Energy, Clarity, and Hormonal Balance Every legitimate Mitolyn review points to the same pattern: steady fat reduction, higher energy levels, an

Team Work and Scaling Companies or dev shops might buy several aged accounts to manage workloads, automate tasks, or partition responsibilities. Startup or Product Launch When launching a product or open-source project, having a mature developer profile helps to gain trust from investors or contributors. Geographic or Access Whitelisting In rare cases, accounts from specific regions (or with certain histories) may be seen as more trustworthy or eligible for integrations. The Legal & Ethical Risks You Must Know Buying aged GitHub accounts isn’t a clean-origins strategy. Here are the major red flags: GitHub’s Terms of Service: According to GitHub’s terms, accounts shouldn’t be transferred in ways that violate “account rights.” Liability: You might inherit code, OAuth tokens, or SSH keys from the previous owner—some of which could pose security risks. Suspension: If GitHub detects unusual activity (sudden IP changes, lots of new commits), they may suspend the account. Fake Activity & Reputation Gaming: A recent research paper points out a growing concern: fake stars and inauthentic behavior used to bolster perceived account legitimacy. Intellectual Property: Existing repositories may contain code you didn’t author. There might be license or copyright complications. Reputation Risk: If others find out you bought your account, it can backfire professionally.

The Best Guide to- Buying- Old- Yahoo accounts | Articles
In the rapidly evolving digital content industry, OnlyFans has emerged as a leading platform for creators to monetize their content directly from their fans. As the platform grew in popularity, many entrepreneurs and aspiring creators began exploring shortcuts to establish a presence quickly. One such shortcut is purchasing verified OnlyFans accounts. While this practice offers certain advantages, it also comes with notable risks. This article explores the various facets of buying verified OnlyFans accounts, providing a thorough analysis of the pros and cons, with insights from USAPvaservice, a trusted provider in this niche. If You Want more Information, Just Contact us now: WhatsApp: +12363000983 Telegram: @usapvaservices Email: usapvaservice@gmail.com Understanding What a Verified OnlyFans Account Is A verified OnlyFans account is one that has undergone a verification process, confirming the identity of the creator. Verification is typically marked by a blue checkmark on the profile, signaling authenticity to followers. This process involves submitting identification documents and other personal information to the platform. Verified accounts are perceived as more trustworthy and credible, often attracting more followers and higher engagement rates. For many, verification signifies legitimacy and can serve as a competitive advantage in the crowded content marketplace. However, acquiring such verified accounts can be challenging, especially for new creators or businesses. Some opt to buy verified accounts from third-party providers like USAPvaservice, which offers ready-made verified profiles. While this approach may seem appealing, it’s essential to understand the implications, both positive and negative, before making such a decision. The Attraction of Buying Verified OnlyFans Accounts The primary allure of purchasing verified OnlyFans accounts lies in the instant credibility it offers. For new creators or businesses, having a verified account can significantly boost trustworthiness within the platform and among potential followers. Verified accounts often enjoy higher visibility in search results and recommendations, leading to increased organic growth. Additionally, a verified status can help attract premium subscribers willing to pay more for exclusive content. For entrepreneurs, buying a verified account can be a shortcut to entering the competitive world of adult content with minimal upfront effort. It can also save time spent on establishing identity verification, which can sometimes be a lengthy process. USAPvaservice specializes in providing verified accounts that are ready to use, helping clients jumpstart their presence on OnlyFans quickly. However, it is crucial to weigh these benefits against potential risks, including platform policies and ethical considerations. Legal and Policy Considerations of Buying Verified Accounts One of the most significant concerns surrounding the purchase of verified OnlyFans accounts relates to legality and platform policies. OnlyFans’ terms of service explicitly prohibit the sale and transfer of accounts. Engaging in such transactions can be considered a violation, potentially leading to account suspension or permanent banning. When buying an account from third-party providers like USAPvaservice, buyers should be aware of these risks. Although the accounts are verified, they are not officially owned by the purchaser, which can lead to complications if the platform detects suspicious activity. Moreover, there are legal implications if the account contains false or misleading information, or if it is used for fraudulent purposes.

However, keeping these accounts secure is essential, as they may contain sensitive personal information. If you have an old Yahoo account, here are some important tips to ensure it remains safe and protected from potential threats. ✅Order Now: WWW.SmmBundle.COM ⫸≫➣ If you want to more information just contact now. ⫸≫➣ 24/7 customer support ⫸≫➣ Quick Delivery ⫸≫➣ Please Contact Us: ⬇⬇⬇ ⫸≫➣ Telegram:@smmbundle ⫸≫➣ WhatsApp:‪ ‪ +1 (580) 227-0750 ⫸≫➣ Email: smmbundlesofficial@gmail.com ✅Order Now: WWW.SmmBundle.COM 1. Change Your Password Regularly One of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain the security of your old Yahoo account is to update your password frequently. Avoid using simple passwords like your name, birthdate, or common words. Instead, choose a strong password with a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. This makes it harder for hackers to guess your password. Consider using a password manager to help you store and generate secure passwords. 2. Enable Two-Step Verification Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security to your Yahoo account. When this feature is enabled, you’ll be required to enter a code sent to your phone or email in addition to your password when logging in. This prevents unauthorized access, even if someone knows your password. Make sure to enable this feature by visiting your Yahoo account settings. 3. Update Your Account Recovery Options Having current and correct recovery information is crucial in case you ever need to recover your Yahoo account. Make sure your recovery email address and phone number are up to date. This will help you reset your password quickly if you forget it or if someone else tries to access your account. Additionally, check if Yahoo offers any backup options, such as security questions, and make sure they are easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. 1. The Declining Relevance of Yahoo in Modern Marketing Historically, Yahoo has been one of the major players in the internet space, with its search engine, email service, and advertising network. But as platforms like Google, Facebook, and others have overtaken it in terms of user base and technological innovation, Yahoo’s presence in online marketing has waned. Still, Yahoo accounts, particularly email addresses, continue to be relevant in targeted email campaigns, especially among certain demographics. Despite this, Yahoo’s marketing ecosystem, particularly its ad network, is not as robust or widespread as it once was. As marketers look for new, more dynamic ways to engage with customers, Yahoo’s offerings might seem outdated. The future of old Yahoo accounts in online marketing may lie in niche strategies rather than widespread reliance. 2. Email Marketing and Yahoo Accounts For marketers, old Yahoo email accounts still serve as useful tools for reaching a segment of the audience. Many consumers, particularly those who have had Yahoo accounts for a long time, continue to use their Yahoo emails for personal and business communication. Marketers targeting this audience must continue to adapt their strategies to include Yahoo email lists in their campaigns.

(An AllSMMSEO Guide to Ethical, Verified LinkedIn Growth) Where to Buy LinkedIn Accounts: A 2025 Guide | Verified Growth Strategies | AllSMMSEO Searching for where to buy LinkedIn accounts in 2025? Learn legal, high-ROI alternatives—verified services, Premium plans, agency-managed profiles, and compliant tools that deliver real LinkedIn growth without risk. If You Need To More Information Or Have Any Questions ➤24-Hour Reply/Contact ➤WhatsApp:+1 (727) 739- 5145 ➤Telegram: @allsmmseo ➤ Email: allsmmseo@gmail.com Search volume for phrases such as “where to buy LinkedIn accounts” and “purchase LinkedIn profiles” continues to climb as professionals and organizations seek faster routes to influence, recruitment pipelines, and qualified leads. That demand has spawned a gray market selling aged or supposedly verified LinkedIn accounts. Those offres may seem tempting at first glance, but they create more liability than value. This guide reframes the question “Where to buy LinkedIn accounts?” into the practical and ethical question every growth-minded professional should ask in 2025: Where should I invest (buy) to gain verified LinkedIn reach and capability? The answer lies in buying verified services and platform features that accelerate reach while protecting your brand, privacy, and legal standing. In the following sections, AllSMMSEO outlines the legitimate places to invest, compares options, details use-cases for individuals, businesses and agencies, and provides an FAQ and implementation playbook so you can translate budget into measurable LinkedIn outcomes. ________________________________________ Why “Buying Accounts” Is the Wrong Move (and Risky) Before exploring alternatives, be clear about the downsides of buying accounts: ● Policy violation: LinkedIn’s Terms of Service prohibit account sales, transfers, or impersonation. Violations can result in immediate suspension or permanent removal. ● Security exposure: Black-market accounts frequently contain compromised credentials or reused passwords, increasing the chance of data breaches. ● Reputation damage: Fake or misaligned profiles erode trust with partners, clients, and employees; detection often triggers public scrutiny. ● No official verification: Purchased accounts rarely qualify for LinkedIn’s verification programs or business features. ● Legal liability: Cross-border data and identity regulations in 2025 enforce stricter penalties for trafficking in digital identities. Given these outcomes, the strategic path is not to buy accounts but to buy access to verified capabilities: subscriptions, verified pages, agency-managed profiles, compliant data, and ad/automation spend. ________________________________________ How to Interpret “Buy” in 2025: A New Definition In practical terms, “buy” should mean the deliberate allocation of budget toward verified, policy-compliant levers that deliver reach, trust, and conversion. Examples include: ● Purchasing LinkedIn Premium, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter subscriptions. ● Paying for Company Page verification or identity confirmation services. ● Buying ad spend through LinkedIn Campaign Manager or verified partner platforms. ● Retaining managed services from reputable agencies for profile, content, and outreach. ● Subscribing to verified B2B data and enrichment platforms. ● Purchasing access to compliant automation and outreach tools that respect LinkedIn limits.
