What Survives the Collapse of a Governments Currency? "IndyWatch Feed World"

I know a lot of goldbugs hate my guts because I do not constantly only say BUY and I point out that NOT only gold and silver survive the collapse of a currency.

I once had a German client who was a multimillionaire back in the 1970s. When the German government collapsed, he was buying all the old coins that were base metals for scrap. They were nickel and copper and some aluminum.  It was presumed that they were all then worthless.

The new government could issue the paper money, but they lacked the metal to strike a whole new coinage. They then announced that the old coinage would retain a value as fractions of the new currency. He became a multimillionaire overnight. I use to enjoy his stories of the transition since he lived through it there in Germany.

His stories of living through such monetary reforms helped me understand the mechanism behind such events. As I have explained, even in times of geopolitical stress, that is the period when we find the greatest number of hoards of even ancient coins.

Burundi: At least 13 gold miners killed in flooded pits "IndyWatch Feed World"

An official in Burundi says the bodies of 13 gold miners have been recovered from two pits in which they were trapped by flood water. Nicodme Ndahabonyimana, a district administrator in the northwestern province of Cibitoke, said the miners could not be saved after the pits collapsed Friday night amid torrential rainfall. The bodies of two other miners who were missing and presumed dead have not been recovered, he said, urging artisanal miners to avoid pits during the rainy season. Police and other authorities on Saturday unsuccessfully tried to extract the miners from the pits, flooded with water from the overflowing Rugogo river. Such mining disasters are frequently reported in Burundi's northwest and northeast, where people mining illegally prefer nighttime work to escape the oversight of authorities. Source: AP

Measuring the QO-100 WB transponder power budget "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The QO-100 WB transponder is an S-band to X-band amateur radio transponder on the Eshail 2 GEO satellite. It has about 9 MHz of bandwidth and is routinely used for transmitting DVB-S2 signals, though other uses are possible. In the lowermost part of the transponder, there is a 1.5 Msym QPSK 4/5 DVB-S2 beacon that is transmitted continuously from a groundstation in Qatar. The remaining bandwidth is free to be used by all amateurs in a use whatever bandwidth is free and dont interfere others basis (there is a channelized bandplan to put some order).

From the communications theory perspective, one of the fundamental aspects of a transponder like this is how much output power is available. This sets the downlink SNR and determines whether the transponder is in the power-constrained regime or in the bandwidth-constrained regime. It indicates the optimal spectral efficiency (bits per second per Hz), which helps choose appropriate modulation and FEC parameters.

However, some of the values required to do these calculations are not publicly available. I hear that the typical values which would appear in a link budget (maximum TWTA output power, output power back-off, antenna gain, etc.) are under NDA from MELCO, who built the satellite and transponders.

I have been monitoring the WB transponder and recording waterfall data of the downlink with my groundstation for three weeks already. With this data we can obtain a good understanding of the transponder behaviour. For example, we can measure the input power to output power transfer function, taking advantage of the fact that different stations with different powers appear and disappear, which effectively sweeps the transponder input power (though in a rather chaotic and uncontrollable manner). In this post I share the methods I have used to study this data and my findings.

Assumptions

The main idea behind this post is that if we record waterfall data of the downlink, we are able to measure the relative power of the different signals in the transponder, as well as our receivers noise floor. If we do some reasonable assumptions, this allows us to estimate other quantities, which are in principle not directly measureable. These assumptions are the following:

  • The transponder characteristics, such as its input to output power transfer function and its passband shape are constant over time.
  • The effective G/T of my groundstation is constant over time. By effective G/T I mean the one which considers the antenna gain in the direction...

A Colorful Week: Blue Checkmarks, Orange Man Indicted, and Banana Republicans "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

It has been a truly historic week: Former president and current crook Donald Trump has been indicted, and Elon Musk is about to take away the tiny blue checkmark by which a surprisingly large number of people seem to have defined their self-worth.

Obviously, a lot of other stuff has happened, too. Children are starving to death everywhere, desperate refugees are drowning as they seek better lives, one war that people are somewhat paying attention to is being fought in Ukraine while other conflicts are being waged in places most Americans couldnt find on a map, the environment is being systematically destroyed and rich people and companies are making a (literal) killing off all of this suffering. But lets focus on what people really care about: a mentally ill septuagenarian criminal and how the media still fails to cover him properly.

But before we get to that (and how it relates to Twitter and those checkmarks), lets just say that its nice to see the US joining many of its peers in trying to hold a former leader accountable. 

While GOP lawmakers and right-wing pundits will have you believe that this is the hallmark of Third World countries, its actually the opposite: Trump isnt being dragged to jail; he gets to enjoy due process and the presumption of innocence in a court of law.

What these banana Republicans are suggesting, however, is that the former president should be above the law. Sadly, that has been the case for far too long for him and others who are rich or pretend to be.

It is especially commendable that Trump was indicted in this case (and hopefully several others that will follow) because trying to hold him to account for his various crimes is not without peril.

But if you are guided by the rule of law, you cant allow yourself to be intimidated by some orange thug threatening to sic his jackbooted supporters on anybody who dares to defy him.

Predictably, that is what he did. It was always clear that Trump wouldnt go down without a fight at least not as long as he could get somebody else to do the fighting for him.

But here is the thing about that (very) thinly veiled threat: It was issued on Trumps own social media platform, and, lets face it, the people who signed up for that were already likely to take up arms for their hero.

Neuralinks FDA Troubles Are Just the Beginning "IndyWatch Feed Tech"



Neuralink, the neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk, is at best having a rough initial go-round with the Food and Drug Administrations human trials application process. The company also faces additional investigations by two other U.S. government agencies. These setbacks and the broad, cure-all expectations that its founder has placed on the companys neural implant could now incite increased scrutiny from regulators. By contrast, however, other neurotech companies have to date managed largely to avoid such intense regulatory scrutiny.

Neuralink is developing The Link, a brain-computer interface that records and stimulates electrical activity within a users brain. Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, are neural implants that connect a users brain to external electronics. Getting the device into peoples heads for the first time is a major goal for the company. Musk himself stated at a press event the company held last November that they planned to start human trials by the end of May of this year and are, reportedly, looking for a partner with whom to coordinate initial experiments.

Despite Musks characteristically overeager timetable, Neuralinks challenges in gaining FDA approval are only mounting. The Link, which is inserted across a users skull and into their brain, is categorized by the FDA as a Class III device, a designation of medical devices that sustain or support life, are implanted, or present potential unreasonable risk of illness or injury. FDA approval for a human test to potentially class III device statusknown as an investigational device exemption (IDE)can only be granted after an involved application process. In it, Neuralink must document how The Link is sufficiently safe and capable for its labeled indications. Just to initiate medical trials, in other words, substantial hurdle...

Not the usual people Trump likes to surround himself with "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

On Tuesday afternoon at about 2:00pm Eastern time, Donald Trump will be processed in a Manhattan courthouse as a result of the indictment against him. He will be booked into the system, photographed, fingerprinted, read his Miranda rights, and then walked over to the courtroom to appear before the judge and be asked to plead guilty or not guilty to each of the the charges against him. This will the be the first time that the charges will be made public. It is rumored that the number of charges are around 30 so that could take some time and he will be placed in the embarrassing position of standing quietly before the judge while the charges are read out. For someone who likes to be in control of his immediate surroundings and dominate the conversation, this will be excruciating. I do not believe that the charged person gets to make a statement so he will not be able to rant about how this is all so unfair and a political witch hunt. Then there is the question of bail. It is unlikely that the prosecution will ask for any bail and will let him leave the court under his own recognizance but that little step will add to the humiliation.

While access to the courthouse has already started to be severely restricted, one can expect a lot of people to be outside the courthouse on Tuesday, but it is going to be hard to predict the relative sizes of Trump supporters, opponents, media, and just gawkers. I suspect that it will be mostly a media circus. Reports say that the number of pro-Trump people have turned up since the indictment can be counted on one hand. It may be that his supporters are a little gun shy about showing up after what happened to their comrades on January 6th, with the situation spiraling out of control and thousands being charged and many sent to prison. Also at that time they were deluded that they could actually change the outcome of the election. They must surely realize that there is no way that they can stop this process from playing out. The number of Trumpists may be larger on Tuesday but I doubt that there will be any real trouble, given that as a result of the events of January 6th, police will be out in force. But there may be some clashes between his supporters and opponents.

Because he has Secret Service protection, the process during the arraignment is going to be a little more crowded than usual. The others who are scheduled to be arraigned that day at the courthouse constitute a motley crew, not the kind of people he likes to be surrounded by.

The Washington Post reported on Friday that the Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheatle, told agents that the agency will take the necessary steps to protect Trump from harm, includi...

Kassir was summoned for interrogation by two members of the State Security apparatus while he was driving and was requested to show up at the Central Investigation Directorate of the General Directorate of State Security. This sets a dangerous precedence as the authorities must notify you at your home or work address as per the rules.

The reasons behind Kassirs summoning is a post entitled Lebanon is ruled by fugitives from justice that names officials in the Lebanese state who are now wanted before the judiciary on various charges. It is worth noting that Public Prosecutor Ghassan Oueidat is the one behind the request, which is not allowed as per the below.

The pursuit of a cure for Alzheimers disease is becoming an increasingly competitive and contentious quest with recent years witnessing several important controversies.

In July 2022, Science magazine reported that a key 2006 research paper, published in the prestigious journal Nature, which identified a subtype of brain protein called beta-amyloid as the cause of Alzheimers, may have been based on fabricated data.

One year earlier, in June 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration had approved aducanumab, an antibody-targeting beta-amyloid, as a treatment for Alzheimers, even though the data supporting its use were incomplete and contradictory.

Attrition In Action: List Of Ukrainian Army Equipment Not Yet Destroyed By Russia "IndyWatch Feed War"


By Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans
  
February 2023 marks one full year of epic struggle on Ukraine's part to preserve its very existence. Rather than succumbing to the invaders beleaguering the country from the North, South and East, it has managed take the initiative in a conflict that was heavily stacked against it. Yet one year also marks the point where the war is beginning to surpass perhaps any conflict since WWII in terms of ferocity and, necessarily, losses. Though these losses are skewed to the Russian side, attrition on the Ukrainian side is also unprecedented, and sustainable only through material support from its allies. With new contingents of Western armament on the way, this list now attempts to denote what types of heavy equipment are known to be in use on the battlefield that have not yet been confirmed destroyed or captured. As opposed, to the Russian counterpart of this list, we might thus expect this list to grow rather than dwindle down as time progresses.

Obviously, not all equipment known to have been developed by Ukraine or pledged delivered by an ally may be actually operational, so to keep things manageable this list will include only those systems that have been acknowledged to be in use with the military. Nevertheless, certain systems may be included or omitted on a case-by-case basis for instance because they are expected to be used operationally or, conversely, because including them would be impractical. Categories that have been excluded are small-sized (EOD) UGVs, civilian-grade UAVs, transport and training aircraft, naval vessels and (armoured) trucks. This list is updated as additional vehicle types are confirmed to be destroyed or captured.

Developers and policymakers should set their sights on projects catering to sectors most acutely in need of green hydrogen, like steelmaking, fertilizers and shipping.

Landmark federal legislation is now mobilising billions of dollars to energise a fledgling industry around green hydrogen, a carbon-free fuel and chemical feedstock that is produced with renewable energy. The good news is that green hydrogen is a versatile tool that can decarbonise industries ranging from marine shipping to steelmaking to fertilizer production. The caveat? The generous federal subsidies that are critical to rapidly scaling green hydrogen dont yet dictate what the hydrogen is used for, which could result in projects that are financially viable for companies but arent in the best interest of the climate or consumers.</p> <p>State and federal agencies have the power to ensure that public funding for green hydrogen doesnt go towards building an energy bridge to nowhere. Instead, public agencies and regulators can guide green hydrogen towards the sectors where its use is both financially viable and where better alternatives arent already available. Staffers at the <strong>US Department of Energy</strong> (DOE), for example, can allocate funding from the <strong>Loan Programs Office and the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations</strong> towards projects that decarbonise heavy industry and energy-intensive transport. State policymakers can develop road maps with a clear vision for where hydrogen will be used, then implement funding programmes and deployment targets to incentivise hydrogen fuel-switching in priority sectors.</p> <p><strong>Building a green hydrogen economy for today and tomorrow</strong></p> <p>Under last years <strong>Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)</strong>, producers of green hydrogen can claim tax credits for the hydrogen they make, as well as for any new clean electricity that they genera...

A Far Cry: Yaras HS-100 Tanks "IndyWatch Feed War"


By Teslashark in collaboration with Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans
 
There are lions, and there are lambs. Rule, or be ruled. A Castillo must be a lion. For Yara is full of lambs. (By Antn Castillo)
 
The 2021 Yaran Civil War was largely overshadowed by the Nagorno-Karabakh War one year prior and the Russo-Ukrainian War shortly thereafter. The war quickly proved a single-cell thunderstorm similar in intensity to the former, yet located right in the middle of America's Caribbean backyard. A significant number of armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) were deployed by both the Fuerzas Nacionales de Defensa loyal to the brutal regime of Antn Castillo and the opposing rebel alliance known as Libertad. One of the AFVs that saw intensive action on both sides was a deceptively unassuming tank, the HS-100. Often misidentified and reported as a T-55 or T-62 by even the most seasoned military analysts, the HS-100 MBT is the perfect embodiment of the tumultuous history of the Caribbean island nation of Yara.
 
By present standards, Yara is a poor country that struggles to provide housing, transportation, and other basic necessities to its population of some six million. Bolstered by the flames of the Cuban Revolution, Soviet-backed communist guerrillas on Yara launched a revolution in 1967 that overthrew the highly unpopular regime of Gabriel Castillo. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 decimated the Yaran economy. Despite economic aid from neighbouring socialist states such as Cuba and Venezuela, Yara continues to experience major economic decline and political instability. In 2014, Antn Castillo, son of the ousted Gabriel Castillo, was elected on the promise of rebuilding Yara, yet quickly cracked down on political dissidents and fundamental human rights in the tro...

As the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement approaches, the immediate outlook is uncertain. But reform is in the air "IndyWatch Feed Politics.eu"

As the Great Anniversary approaches, unionist opinion in its supporting  press is in turmoil over whether or when to return to the Assembly. Worryingly there is talk of being resigned to loyalist violence in the event of a border poll.    Opinion is tilting against accepting the Windsor Framework. Its gaps and deficiencies are forensically taken apart in the Belfast Telegraph by Sam McBride.  In the Newsletter, the voice of sceptical unionism, the editor Ben Lowry comes down against the Framework and much of the last 25 Years.   Fundamentally its the old story of British betrayal and basic loathing about having to share power with Sinn Fein.

The time has come to make clear that no unionist can possibly accept such a major internal UK barrier, and move on to how we can seem constructive about the future

The 2020 deal to restore Stormont saw the then secretary of state Julian Smith reward SF blackmail over the Irish language, tear up the three strands and give the IRA just what it wanted on legacy a pledge to implement structures that Sinn Fein believed will destroy the security forces. There was barely a squeak from unionists. We cannot be so defeatist and it is time for London to support unionists.

He approvingly quotes Bob McCartney KC, 86 this month, and still the most eloquent objector and proponent of the betrayal trope

The Belfast Agreement was the final piece in the plan. The result of British government strategy has been to make the pro-Union citizens of Northern Ireland feel ever more isolated and deceived, as they watch their rights as UK citizens being progressively diluted.

At the same time they have witnessed the ascent to power of Sinn Fein, a republican party which still actively celebrates those who carried out a sectarian 30-year campaign of IRA violence. That combination, which shows every sign of intensifying, represents the worst possible background for any border referendum.

Although a border referendum may be long postponed, when it is finally held Sinn Fein will in all probability be in power in Ireland, north and south. In the event of a narrow vote for a united Ireland, it is equally likely that a significant proportion of the people of Northern Ireland would reject the result, with, I fear, a minority of loyalists potentially willing to use force in opposition.

That vision of civil unrest would not only signify dark days for Northern Ireland, but for the Republic of Ireland as well. The peace process has now been processing politically for twenty-five years, while failing to dismantle...

Why Techrights Condones Fentanylware (TikTok) Ban and Suggests Extending Bans to Supposedly Good Fentanyl "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Fentanylware: Who's there?

Summary: Were going to write a lot more about why social control media/networks ought to be avoided and what can be done to eradicate this disease from civil society (its not social; its surveillance, propaganda and censorship)

SOCIAL control media (AKA centralised manipulation) is generally bad and modern socially-manipulative media [sic] even more so; it is a lot worse for reasons well name in future posts. There are many reasons and itemising them properly takes effort. The dosages are increasing over time (like narcotics for the brain), not just the bandwidth. Surveillance, propaganda and censorship are among the levers (tenets?) and addiction is leveraged through gamification and FOMO. This is no childrens game.

Those who have been following our Daily Links are well aware that were not proponents of TikTok and not even remotely apologists of the parent company; its not racist or uncool to point out what TikTok does, probably by design (the same is true for social control media made in/operated from Europe and north America).

Computers were meant to make life easier and safer. In practice, however, we often see it turning out to be exactly the opposite.In the coming years were likely to write a lot more about the issue. Its not an enigma or some deep mystery why media has often sided with TikTok, seeing that budget was allocated to AstroTurfing and many in the media are themselves TikTok junkies.

Computers were meant to make life easier and safer. In practice, however, we often see it turning out to be exactly the opposite. In some cases, computers over-complicate life and put life itself at risk. Thats due to the choices made by people who truly control them, and those people arent the users who paid for these computers.

We strongly discourage adoption of social control media and we encourge people to abandon not only TikTok. The media found itself a bit of a scapegoat to distract from equally culpable surveillance and manipulation giants.

The problems here are multi-facetedWhen it comes to tackling this problem (both TikTok and others), one must tread very carefully and not adopt a one-size-fits-all omnibus...

Bombshell vax analysis finds $147 Billion in economic damage, tens of millions injured or disabled "IndyWatch Feed World"

A new report estimates that 26.6 million people were injured, 1.36 million disabled, and 300,000 excess deaths can be attributed to COVID-19 vaccine damages in 2022 alone, which cost the economy nearly $150 billion Research firm Phinance Technologies, founded and operated by former Blackrock portfolio manager Ed Dowd, Yuri Nunes (PhD Physics, MSc Mathematics) and Carlos Alegria (PhD Physics, Finance), split the impact of the vaccines into four broad categories to estimate the human costs associated with the Covid-19 vaccine; no effect or asymptomatic, those who sustained injuries (mild-to-moderate outcome), those who became disabled (severe outcome), and death (extreme outcome). Data on vaccine disabilities and injuries comes directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), while the excess death figures are derived from official figures on deaths in the US via two different methods (methodology here). It's important to note that people in one category (injured, for example) can...

The weaponization of money, WHO's health tyranny, and the movement towards a totalitarian world government "IndyWatch Feed World"

Two kinds of absolute controls are being prepared to implement The Great Reset, alias UN Agenda 2030. A potentially straitjacket and total control by programmable Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), and an all-oppressive health tyranny by WHO, overriding national Constitutional rights and national sovereignty as far as health measures are concerned. The former will be "managed", coordinated and supervised for faultless implementation, by the so-called Central Bank of Central Banks, the Bank for International Settlement (BIS); the latter by the 1948 Rockefeller-created, falsely called UN-agency WHO. The emerging tyrant's budget is to 80% pharma, Gates and otherwise privately funded. Both are criminal organizations. These are plans, not yet implemented.

Cashless society: Europe pushing the 'criminalization' of physical cash, MEP warns "IndyWatch Feed World"

The European Union is in danger of "criminalising" the use of physical cash with its new anti-money laundering laws, an MEP has warned. Dr Gunnar Beck, a representative for the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has warned that the EU appears to be pushing for the "criminalisation" of the use of physical cash with its new anti-money laundering (AML) laws. Politicians in Brussels have long been pondering an upper legal limit on the value of cash transactions within the bloc, with lawmakers detailing plans to ban Europeans from spending over 10,000 in physical tender as part of a single transaction. The European Parliament however has now voted for such a proposed limit to be dropped down to as little as 7,000 as part of efforts to clamp down on money laundering and tax dodging within the bloc, with officials also voting to see cryptocurrency transactions paying for goods and services that are valued over 1,000 to be banned.

A kitchen timer is one of those projects thats well defined enough to have a clear goal, but allows plenty of room for experimentation with functionality and aesthetics. [Hggh]s exploration of the idea is a clean, Brutalist kitchen timer.

The case for [Hggh]s kitchen timer is 3D printed with openings for a TM1637 four digit, seven segment display and for a KY-040 rotary encoder with knob attached. The internals are driven by an ATmega328P powered from a 18650 cell with a DW01-P battery protection chip and a TP4056 chip for charging. On the back of the case is a power switch and USB-C connector for power. It looks like the 3D printed case was sanded down to give it a smooth matte surface finish.

Lockheed Martin Plans to Build Lunar Satellite Network "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Crescent Space will be 'well positioned' to get a piece of NASA's cash pie, no contract yet:

Aerospace firm Lockheed Martin has announced the launch of a subsidiary to build a satellite communications network to connect future Moon missions with those of us stuck on Earth.

Crescent Space Services' first big project will be Parsec, a "novel cislunar communications and navigation network," which will use a constellation of small satellites built by Lockheed Martin to connect lunar explorers to each other and ground control on Earth.

Lockheed Martin describes Parsec's communications links between the Moon and Earth as being "completely controlled by the network," which it said will save those involved in mission planning some IT support time so they can focus on operations instead.

Along with being a communications network, Parsec will also act as a lunar positioning system "informing those on the ground of their exact location, hidden hazards and even how to get back to base," Lockheed Martin said.

[...] "With momentum gaining around humanity's return to the Moon, this is an immediate area of opportunity for Crescent," the company said - without stating whether it had actually secured any deals to get its constellation into orbit.

Palestinian cities and towns across Israel on Sunday observed a one-day strike following a call by the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel in response to the killing of Mohammed al-Osaibi, a Palestinian doctor who was fatally shot by Israeli forces.

Eyewitnesses said police shot Osaibi 10 times at the Chain Gate (Bab al-Silsela), one of the gates to the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in the Old City of Jerusalem, on Friday evening after he tried to prevent them from harassing a woman trying to re-enter the mosque.

Israeli police said in a statement that the man tried to grab a soldier's weapon and was subsequently shot and "neutralised". Osaibi was a 26-year-old resident of the bedouin town of Hura in the Naqab (Negev) region in southern Israel.

Osaibi's family has disputed the police account of his death and demanded to see CCTV footage, Israeli media reported. Osaibi had recently earned his medical degree in Romania and returned to his hometown a month ago, the family said.

Lagos, Delta, Ogun, Rivers Lead In Domestic Debt-DMO "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

DEBT

LAGOS APRIL 2ND (URHOBOTODAY)-Lagos, Delta and Ogun are the three States with the highest domestic debt figures in Nigeria as of June 30, 2022, DAILY POST has learnt.

According to the Debt Management Office (DMO), many States have borrowed more between the first and second quarters of the year 2022. In March, the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory had a domestic debt of N4,842,838,992,386.22. However, this has risen to N5,281,277,033,703.91 as at the end of June.

As of the time under review, Lagos State has borrowed a total of N797,305,312,602.53. This shows that the debt profile of Lagos has increased from the N780,476,880,563.06 it was in March 31, 2022.

Also, the debt stock of Delta State skyrocketed within the three months period. From N163,478,454,259.54 in March this year, Governor Ifeanyi Okowas administration has increased the domestic debt of Delta to N378,878,236,830.76. This represents over 100 percent increase from March to June this year.

Ogun on the other hand is owing a total of N241,782,021,304.96. Though it stands among the top three most indebted States, Ogun debt figure has marginally reduced from the N241,979,216,147.55 it was in March.

A document released by the Debt Management Office indicates that Rivers is the fourth with a debt stock of N225,505,011,356.55. The DMO said Rivers States debt figure was as at September 30, 2021. No reason was given for the refusal of the South-South State to update its debt profile over a year ago.

DAILY POST reports that Imo State, with a domestic debt of N210,394,836,519.93, is the fifth. The State has borrowed more as the DMO report shows that the debt figure of Imo was N204,612,397,430.39 in March.

Akwa Ibom is sixth on the list, having borrowed a total of N203,951,611,822.07. This is a slight increase from the N203,112,373,546.77 it had in the first quarter of the year.

It was gathered that Cross River has a debt profile of N176,086,197,586; Oyo has borrowed N159,906,877,910; Osun and Bayelsa are owing N150billion each, while Plateau and Benue State owe N144.60billion and N143.54billion, respectively, as of the time under review.

In the same vein, Bauchi has borrowed up to N129billion; Kano, N125 billion; Gombe, N123.6billion; Adamawa, N120.6billion; Ekiti, N119.5billion; Zamfara, N115.7billion; Edo, N112.1billion; Kwara, N110.5billion; Abia, N107.6billion and Borno, N102.4billion.

APC Suspends Buharis Ex-Media Aide Lauretta Onochie For Allegedly Working For Atiku, Okowa "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

LAURETTA ONOCHIE 2

LAGOS APRIL 2ND (URHOBOTODAY)-The All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended President Muhammadu Buharis former media aide, Lauretta Onochie, from the party.

Onochie, who is the chairman of the governing board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), was accused of anti-party activities by APC executives in her Onicha-Olona Ward 4 of Delta State.

In a suspension letter addressed to the state chairman of the APC, the ward executives said they thoroughly investigated Onochie and found that she engaged in activities that were detrimental to the partys interests during the 2023 campaign and election season.

Onochies suspension letter seen by THE WHISTLER was endorsed by 27 members of the ward committee in Aniocha North Local Government Area, including the chairman, Ogbolu Peter Nduka; vice chairman, Osemeke Mokwunye; and ward secretary, Justina Amagor Akaeze, amongst others.

The ward executives superficially accused Onochie of working for the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta which won the March 18 governorship election in the state. Okowa was the running mate of Atiku Abubakar in the February 25 presidential election.

They said NDDC chairmans action is a clear violation of the partys constitution, which frowns at anti-party activities hence her suspension with immediate effect.

21 states threaten banks with legal action over woke policies: 'Stay in your lane' "IndyWatch Feed World"

21 states threaten banks with legal action over woke policies: 'Stay in your lane' | 31 March 2023 | A coalition of 21 state attorneys general sent a stark warning to dozens of financial institutions and asset managers, warning them against pursuing woke environmental and social initiatives. In a letter sent Thursday to 53 of the nation's largest financial institutions, which collectively manage trillions of dollars worth of assets, the attorneys general threatened to take legal action if the firms veer from the best interests of their clients while pushing social priorities. The effort, led by Montana, Utah and Louisiana, comes ahead of proxy season during which most companies hold annual shareholder meetings where they vote on key policy initiatives. "This ESG nonsense is filtering into a lot of our states and the way they're doing it is really, really concerning and probably flagrantly illegal," Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen told Fox News Digital in an interview. "...The message is: 'Stay in your lane and do what you're supposed to do. You have a fiduciary obligation under our various states laws to maximize investment. That's your job. That's what you're supposed to be doing. We're aware of state law and if it needs be, we will defend our state pensioners against anything outside that lane.'"

How I Achieved Maximum Success with "IndyWatch Feed World"

Barry Silbert Promotes Positive Change for BTC

Barry Silbert is one of the most influential figures in the crypto world. He is the founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group (DCG), a conglomerate of five cryptocurrency-focused companies that have invested in more than 200 crypto startups.

Grayscale, a company that manages $28 billion worth of digital assets, is DCGs main source of income. Grayscale allows investors to access cryptocurrencies without having to deal with buying or storing them themselves.

Other companies under DCG include Genesis Trading, a service for lending and trading cryptocurrencies; Foundry, a provider of mining and staking solutions for cryptocurrencies; CoinDesk, a top platform for news and events related to cryptocurrencies; and Luno, a global service for exchanging and storing cryptocurrencies.

Silberts journey to becoming a crypto millionaire started in 2012, when he was working as an investment banker at Second Market, a platform for trading illiquid assets. He bought about $175,000 worth of Bitcoin at around $11 per coin, after learning about it from niche internet blogs.

He rapidly gained an enthusiasm for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a means to change the global financial system. He established the Bitcoin Investment Trust (now called Grayscale Bitcoin Trust) in 2013 as the first public option for investing in Bitcoin.

Genesis suffered huge losses and liquidity problems. In November 2022, Genesis announced that it was halting client withdrawals from its lending unit due to extreme market turmoil and loss of industry confidence following the demise of FTX. FTX was one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world before it filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 15 after losing billions of dollars in leveraged bets on Bitcoin futures.

FTXs bankruptcy had a ripple effect across the cryptocurrency industry, causing a steep drop in Bitcoin prices and a loss of trust in crypto platforms. FTX was accused of engaging in risky trading practices, such as offering up to 100x leverage on Bitcoin futures contracts, which magnified its losses when the market turned against it. FTX was also alleged to have mismanaged customer funds and violated securities laws.

Silbert has rejected any misconduct and said he is cooperating with Gensis Trading and its creditors to reach a solution. He has also praised his other businesses, such as Grayscale and CoinDesk, which he said are doing well despite the market chaos.

Despite the challenges, Silbert remains confident about the future of crypto and his role in it. He recently tweeted that he is more bullish than ever on Bitcoin and that he expects DCG to emerge stronger from the crisis.

The Best Advice About Ive Ever Written "IndyWatch Feed World"

The Rise of Barry Silbert: From Bankruptcy to Cryptocurrency Mogul

Are you familiar with Barry Silbert? He became rich through the bitcoin market, and his current nett worth is millions. For the purpose of assisting nascent businesses in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors, Silbert founded the Digital Currency Group. Silbert has become a prominent player in the cryptocurrency industry thanks to the success of the companies he founded, which include Grayscale, Gensis Trading, and Foundry. In this blog post, we will take a deep dive into the life and career of Barry Silbert and explore how he went from a failed business venture to a crypto pioneer.

Business veteran Barry Silbert has successfully navigated various turbulences. In 2008, he founded an online marketplace for private companies called SecondMarket. The platform allowed investors to buy and sell shares in private companies like Twitter and Facebook. However, the company struggled to gain traction, and Silbert was forced to pivot his business model. In 2015, he sold SecondMarket to Nasdaq, and the company was shut down shortly after.

The failure at SecondMarket didnt bother Silbert in the least. He saw an opportunity in the emerging world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. He founded the Digital Currency Group in 2013, which has become one of the most prosperous investment firms in the bitcoin sector. Via his business, Digital Currency Group, Silbert has invested in more than 150 companies.

Silberts founding of Grayscale Investments is a major development in the cryptocurrency industry. Grayscale is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group and is responsible for managing a portfolio of cryptocurrency investment trusts. The Bitcoin Investment Trust is Grayscales most well-known offering; it stores Bitcoin (BTC) on behalf of investors. The trust was launched in 2013 and was one of the first ways for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to purchase the cryptocurrency directly.

Gensis Trading is a subsidiary of the Digital Currency Group. Gensis Trading is an over-the-counter (OTC) trading firm that specializes in cryptocurrency. The company provides liquidity for institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals who want to buy or sell large amounts of cryptocurrency. Gensis Trading is a leading OTC desk that has processed transactions totalling billions of dollars.

Silberts most recent venture is Foundry, which is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group that focuses on mining and staking. When miners and stakers seek to expand their operations, they can turn to Foundry for finance and advice on equipment purchases. The goal of the business is to make Bitcoin mining more accessible to players in specialised markets and to decentralise it.

The State of Irelands Soul: Results from a New Survey on Religion "IndyWatch Feed Politics.eu"

A new poll commissioned by the Iona Institute confirms that Mass attendance in the Republic has still not reached its pre-pandemic levels. And it highlights a stark lack of engagement among regular Mass-goers with the Churchs synodal process a worldwide initiative that Pope Francis hopes will renew the church.

The survey also asked an unusual question about the soul of the nation: In your opinion, has Ireland lost her soul? Forty percent of the general population said yes, 23% were not sure, 23% said no, and 15% did not understand the question. Among those who have returned to Mass, 55% said that Ireland had lost her soul.

The responses to these varied questions paint a complex picture of the decline in authority of institutionalized Catholicism, and peoples engagement with it. Yet the question about Irelands soul while very ambivalent and difficult for at least 15% of people to understand perhaps detects some unease about the state of Irelands spiritual health.

Mass-Going

Among those who identified themselves as regular Mass-goers before the pandemic, 59% reported that they are now attending again, up from 47% in March 2022. Among the 41% who have not returned to Mass, reasons included:

  • I still have concerns about Covid-19 and public places (31%)
  • My faith isnt as strong as before Covid-19 (31%)
  • I prefer to watch the Mass on TV, online, or on the radio nowadays (20%)
  • Other (19%)
  • I have health or other issues that prevent me from returning to Mass (16%)
  • Wearing masks etc is off-putting (2%)

While those who still have concerns about Covid and/or health issues may at some point return to Mass, it is less clear whether that is the case for the 20% who say they prefer to access Mass virtually. This is even less clear for the 31% who admitted that their faith has wavered.

Women and young people who were regular attenders before Covid are also less likely to have returned. The survey found that 66% of men have returned, but only 52% of women.

Among those under 35, just 34% have returned, followed by 55% of 35-44 year-olds, 63% of 45-54 year-olds, and 66% of those over 55.

While in most Western countries Christian women have higher levels of religious practice than Christian men, recent pre-pandemic research indicates that Catholic women in the Republic may be becoming an exception to this trend especially young women. It is possible that womens lack of enthusiasm around returning to Mass reflects their growing disengagement from the Catholic Church.

While declining Mass attendance was a firm feature of pre-pandemic Ireland, these results hint that Covid may have accelerated this trend. At the same time, further questions could be raised about how those who say they prefer t...

Patrick OCarroll- The Horrifying Prophecies of Padre Pio "IndyWatch Feed War"

(Padre Pio, 1887-1968)

HenryMakow.com April 1, 2023

During WW2, Padre Pio shocked his confreres when he assured them that then-communist Russia would one day become the center of Christian renewal after America degenerated.

The time will come when people will pluck out their eyes for a piece of bread. Shops will be looted, warehouses will be stormed and destroyed; A country will disappear, a great country. The country will be erased from the maps forever, with it history, wealth and people all dragged through the mire

by Patrick OCarroll (henrymakow.com)

Padre Pio was a Capuchin Friar born in 1887 in Pietrencina in the Campania region of southern Italy.

He bore the Stigmata, or wounds of Christ, for exactly 50 years and 3 days.

Padre Pio made many prophecies, all of which came to pass.

When he received the Stigmata in 1918, he is said to have known the time of his own death.

Although he died in 1968, Padre Pio still remains one of the foremost Christian Voices in the world today because he predated the deterioration of the Catholic Church after Oct 1958 (when Freemasonic Pope John XXIII and his first appointed cardinal Pope Paul VI jointly enacted the disastrous Vatican II after which God, in the words of Malachi Martin, simply withdrew His Grace from the Catholic Church). Padre Pio remained a TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC until his death.

For the process of canonization, Padre Pios body was exhumed in 2008 and was found to be almost totally uncorrupted.

During WW2, Padre Pio shocked his confreres when he assured them that then-communist Russia would one day become the center of Christian renewal after America degenerated.

There are many wonderful anecdotes of Padre Pios interaction with his Guardian Angel, as well as Jesus and Mary, and with other heavenly personages.

In the confessional, Padre Pio would know in advance the sins of the penitent, including significant ones that the penitent may have forgotten (whether accidentally or deliberately).

50,000 North Koreans To Join Russia In Invading Ukraine; Kremlin Offers Food For Weapons "IndyWatch Feed War"

Danielle Ong International Business Times March 30, 2023

  • The North Koreans may join Russias special ops unit deployed in the war in Ukraine
  • N. Koreas military assistance would likely have to be approved by China, says a Russian journalist
  • It is unclear when the North Korean troops would be deployed to Ukraine
Tens of thousands of North Koreans are now preparing to join the Russian army and help the country in its invasion of Ukraine, a Russian journalist claimed.

At least 50,000 North Koreans will join Russias special ops ranks in Ukraine as part of an alliance formed between Pyongyang and Moscow, Aleksander Sladkov, a seasoned Russian journalist specializing in military affairs, said in his YouTube video.

I spoke with a friend of mine, the head of a Korean war veterans organization. He was here recently. I said, What do you guys have? He said, 50,000 special forces are ready for deployment, Sladkov said, as translated by The EurAsian Times.

Video (in Russian): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pytx2LWLgzM

In addition, Sladkov claimed the North Korean government is also preparing to send 500,000 troops to assist Russias military in Ukraine. A decision on the date of their deployment is allegedly still being discussed by Moscow and Pyongyang.

Sladkov also pointed to a claim made by North Korea on March 18 wherein it said that 800,000 of its citizens volunteered to join the countrys military to fight against the United States and potentially help Russia in Ukraine. This was first reported by the Rodong Sinmum newspaper, which serves as the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea, as translated by Reuters.

Ukrainian Security Forces Raid Monastery in Kiev to Forcibly Evict Orthodox Priests Suspected of Being Pro Russia "IndyWatch Feed War"

Metropolitan Pavel is forced to sign search warrant

Planet Today April 1, 2023

This Saturday morning (April 1st), Ukrainian security forces raided the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and forced the governor (chief priest), Metropolitan Pavel, to sign a search warrant, before taking him for questioning.

He is being charged with inciting inter-religious hatred and justifying the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.

A thousand-year-old Monastery in Kiev, one of the most important Christian pilgrimage centers in the world, has become the focus of attention of the international community, as Orthodox priests defy orders from the Ukrainian government to vacate the premises, in a fight for the soul of the Slavic people from Eastern Europe.

Situated on a hilltop on the western bank of the Dnieper River, the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is a masterpiece of human creative genius in both its architectural conception and its remarkable decoration, according to UNESCO.

After the raid this morning, searches are underway in the Metropolitans home, and he has been placed under house arrest. The police has cordoned off the building, while believers are gathering nearby.

Radio Free Europe reports:

The Monastery of the Caves, as it is also known in English, has been tangled up for years in worsening Ukrainian-Russian relations, relations that resulted in a formal split a schism between the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox churches in 2019, when the Ukrainian church was granted independence.

Now the issue is coming to a head at the historic monastery, as Ukrainian officials demand that the priests who live there some of whom are suspected of recognizing the authority of the Moscow church vacate the facility.

Metropolitan Pavel has been under sanctions from Zelenskys government since late January, when he accused the Ukrainian authorities of persecuting the church.

[] We, monks, more than 200 people, must leave the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, our home. The grandchildren of the revolution, the grandchildren of the leaders of the persecutors of the Church of Christ, today are hiding behind the good. Probably, the Apocalypse begins with Ukraine.

[] We will defend our rights to the last, defend our shrines to the last. [] If they defame the church, they blaspheme Christ.

And the Kiev regime does not hide their intentions towards these priests: in an interview with a Ukrainian TV channel, Mykhailo Mykhailovych Podolyak, adviser to Zelensly, declared that the impasse around the monastery is an excellent opportunity to physically clean up pro-Russian priests.

He added that in the first 3-...

US Occupation Forces in Syria are not Fighting Terrorism "IndyWatch Feed War"

Timothy Alexander Guzman GlobalResearch.ca March 31, 2023

Despite the massive earthquake that devasted parts of Syria and Turkey, the US and its allies continue their war against the Syrian government.  US troops still illegally occupy northeastern Syria since the war began on March 2011 to remove its President, Bashar al-Assad and destabilize the country to effectively balkanize the secular state on behalf of Israels expansionist agenda.  It all began in 2010 during the Arab Spring when anti-government protests had spread across most of the Arab world which led to protests in Syria and thats when Washingtons war planners decided to add fuel to the fire and arm terrorists to further destabilize and ultimately destroy the Syrian government. 

At the start of the civil war, one of the very few media organizations that reported on pro-Assad demonstrations was Al-Jazeera who could not deny that Assad had popular support, the report Thousands rally in support of Syrias Assad said that

tens of thousands of Syrians have rallied in central Damascus in show of support for President Bashar al-Assad, who is battling a six-month uprising against his rule in which the UN says about 2,900 people have been killed.  

Al Jazeeras report said that the Syrian people do support Assad America, out, out, Syria will stay free chanted the crowd on Wednesday, many of them carrying pictures of Assad and Syrian flags.

Nir Rosen, a journalist and author told Al Jazeera that We might not like to think that but authoritarian regimes sometimes have popular support. Syria has the most popular support than most governments in the Middle East In the whole of the Arab countries, certainly the Syrian regime has the largest base of popular support and much of the country still supports him [Assad], he continued Not only Alawite and the Christian community, but even Sunni Bourgeoisie in Damascus and Aleppo support President Assad.There is an important fact that the mainstream media barely mentions, and that is Syria is an independent secular state that has diverse ethnic groups including Syrian Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Turkmens, and religious groups that includes Christians, Muslims, Alawites (Asma al-Assad, wife of Bashar al-Assad is a Syrian Alawite from Latakia), Druze and Yazidis.  On the international stage, Syria has the full support of Russia, China, Iran, and many countries from the Global South.

However, Syria is not a perfect society, there are human rights issues and since 2006, Syria has developed extreme social problems due to the International Monetary Funds...

Ever since the dynastic One World Government cabal created their Club of Rome organization in 1968 for the express purposes of seeding in the global psyche a perpetual anthropogenic climate crisis.

Critics Warn of a Dragnet of Surveillance as U.S. Pushes Ahead With Plans for More Smart Cities "IndyWatch Feed War"

Brenda Baletti The Defender March 23, 2023

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg last week announced $94 million in grant awards to fund 59 smart city technology projects across the country.

Despite widespread and mounting pushback against biometric surveillance and control systems associated with smart city technologies and the failure of the U.S. Department of Transportations (DOT) previous attempt to grant-fund smart city transformation in Columbus, Ohio, Buttigieg told The Verge he thinks smart city technologies matter more than ever.

Cities just need to take a different approach experimenting with and testing out different technologies first, rather than implementing a grand unified system all at once, Buttigieg said.

The new grants, part of the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants Program, are the first round of $500 million in funding that will be awarded for smaller smart mobility projects over the next five years, authorized under the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

In this funding round, DOT awarded smart grants for a range of projects, including drone surveillance or delivery, smart traffic signals, connected vehicles, autonomous vehicles, smart grid development, intelligent sensors and other Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. Some cities, including Los Angeles (LA), received multiple grants.

Smart city development typically focuses on the implementation of technologies like the IoT, 5G, cloud and edge computing, and biometric surveillance to track, manage, control and extract profit from an array of urban processes.

California moves ahead with state-sanctioned kidnapping bill that would allow therapists to take children from families without notice or provocation "IndyWatch Feed War"

Mia Ashton Post Millennial March 29, 2023

A California Judiciary Committee heard testimony on Tuesday for and against a bill that would allow a mental health professional to place a child as young as 12 in a residential shelter facility without parental knowledge or consent and without there being any prior allegations of incest or child abuse.

Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo said she was proud to present AB 665 to expand access to mental health care for young people as communities face a mental health crisis, but Erin Friday, attorney and co-founder of parent group Our Duty, called the bill state-sanctioned kidnapping.

Family Code 6924, enacted in 2010 by former Governor Schwarzenegger, gave children 12 and over the ability to access mental health counselling without parental consent, but its requires that there be an allegation of abuse or a risk of serious harm before a counsellor can unilaterally send a child to a residential facility.

Friday explained that the intent of 6924 was to prevent suicides, specifically among LGBTQ youth, but cited CDC statistics to show that in the years since 6924 came into effect, the suicide rate for age 10- to 14-year-olds has soared.

Instead of repealing the failed law, the response is to place even more power in the hands of counsellors, to remove children form their loving families, said Friday, who then gave an example of the type of counsellor to whom such power would be given.

An example of the calibre of counsellors who decide if a 12-year-old comes home from school is Kenna Cook, who has access to the kids at Davis Unified [School District]. She held a BDSM group called Slaps Giving; she authored blogs: How to be a better butt slut.

Twelve is the age that California can steal the rights of parents and hand over mental health decisions to a child, or worse, a pervert, Friday concluded.

Kenna Cook is described in a Facebook post as a pansexual, kink and polyamory-friendly, fierce femme and sex-positive parent. She is also a community health worker and sex-ed teacher for CommuniCare Health Centers, which offers affirming services for Yolo Countys LGBTQ+ community. One such service is the...

Predicting neuroblastoma outcomes with molecular evolution "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

A research team led by the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany, has discovered that the genetic sequence of a tumor can be read like a molecular clock, traced back to its most recent common ancestor cell. Extracting the duration of tumor evolution can give an accurate predictor of neuroblastoma outcomes.

In a paper published in Nature Genetics titled Neuroblastoma arises in early fetal development and its evolutionary duration predicts outcome, the team details the steps they took in identifying a genomic clock tested against a sequenced population combined with analysis and mathematical modeling, to identify evolution markers, traceability and a likely origin point of infant neuroblastomas.

Cancer cells start out life as heroic healthy tissues, with the sort of all for one, one for all, throw yourself on a grenade to save your matestype attitude that is taking place throughout the body every day. At some point, something goes wrong, and a good cell goes bad.

New IVF method: More expensive, not more effective "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The use of time-lapse monitoring in IVF does not result in more pregnancies or shorten the time it takes to get pregnant. This new method, which promises to identify the most viable embryos, is more expensive than the classic approach. Research from Amsterdam UMC, published today in The Lancet, shows that time-lapse monitoring does not improve clinical results.

Patients undergoing an IVF treatment often have several usable embryos. The laboratory then makes a choice as to which embryo will be transferred into the uterus. Crucial to this decision is the cell division pattern in the first three to five days of embryo development. In order to observe this, embryos must be removed from the incubator daily to be checked under a microscope. In time-lapse incubators, however, built-in cameras record the development of each embryo. This way embryos no longer need to be removed from the stable environment of the incubator and a computer algorithm calculates which embryo has shown the most optimal growth pattern.

More and more IVF centers, across the world, use time-lapse for the evaluation and selection of embryos. Prospective parents are often promised that time-lapse monitoring will increase their chance of becoming pregnant. Despite frequent use of this relatively expensive method, there are hardly any large clinical studies evaluating the added value of time-lapse monitoring for IVF treatments.

First single molecule microscopic visualization of the full-length human BRCA2 protein binding to DNA "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Using a self-built inverted microscope complete with laser optical tweezers to capture DNA, Yale Cancer Center and University of California Davis researchers for the first time created a visualization of the full-length human BRCA2 protein at the single molecule level.

Mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA2, can significantly increase an individuals lifetime risk of developing cancer. Approximately one in every 400 people carry a BRCA gene mutation accounting for a significant proportion of cancer that is heritable. The study was published on March 28 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

If you carry a BRCA mutation, you have this incredibly high risk for breast and , and also for men, prostate and , said Yale Cancer Center member and co-author of the paper, Ryan Jensen, Ph.D., who is also an associate professor of therapeutic Radiology at Yale School of Medicine.

Finland clears last hurdle, will become the 31st member of NATO "IndyWatch Feed World"

Late Thursday night (local time), Turkey's parliament approved Finland's NATO application, which puts the Nordic country on the verge of formal membership in the Western military alliance as the 31st nation.

Why Do Rifa Capacitors Fail? "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Anyone who works with older electronic equipment will before long learn to spot Rifa capacitors, a distinctive yellow-translucent component often used in mains filters, that is notorious for failures. Its commonly thought to be due to their absorbing water, but based upon [Jerry Walker]s long experience, hes not so sure about that. Thus hes taken a large stock of the parts and subjected them to tests in order to get to the bottom of the Rifa question once and for all.

What he was able to gather both from the parts he removed from older equipment and by applying AC and DC voltages to  test capacitors, was that those which had been used in DC applications had a much lower likelihood of exhibiting precursors to failure, and also a much longer time before failure when connected to AC mains.

Indeed, its only at the end of the video that he reveals one of the parts in front of him is an ex-DC part thats been hooked up to the mains all the time without blowing up. Its likely then that these capacitors didnt perform tot heir spec only when used in AC applications. He still recommends replacing them wherever they are found and wed completely agree with him, but its fascinating to have some light shed on these notorious parts.

The music festival promised a glamorous, celebrity- and influencer-laden event on a far-off Bahamian island, with luxury accommodations, and charged thousands for the privilege. But things did not go quite as planned. And after failing to provide any of the acts promised, and nothing but a few cheap tents for accommodations, festival organizers were deluged with multimillion dollar lawsuits, two documentaries looking into the fraud, and a six-year prison sentence for one of the founders for defrauding investors and ticket holders.

Elemental Music: Interactive Periodic Table Turns He, Fe, Ca Into Do, Re, Mi "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Freeman writes:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/03/elemental-music-interactive-periodic-table-turns-he-fe-ca-into-do-re-mi/

We're all familiar with the elements of the periodic table, but have you ever wondered what hydrogen or zinc, for example, might sound like? W. Walker Smith, now a graduate student at Indiana University, combined his twin passions of chemistry and music to create what he calls a new audio-visual instrument to communicate the concepts of chemical spectroscopy.

Smith presented his data sonification projectwhich essentially transforms the visible spectra of the elements of the periodic table into soundat a meeting of the American Chemical Society being held this week in Indianapolis, Indiana. Smith even featured audio clips of some of the elements, along with "compositions" featuring larger molecules, during a performance of his "The Sound of Molecules" show.

As an undergraduate, "I [earned] a dual degree in music composition and chemistry, so I was always looking for a way to turn my chemistry research into music," Smith said during a media briefing.
[...]
Data sonification is not a new concept. For instance, in 2018, scientists transformed NASA's image of Mars rover Opportunity on its 5,000th sunrise on Mars into music. The particle physics data used to discover the Higgs boson, the echoes of a black hole as it devoured a star, and magnetometer readings from the Voyager mission have also been transposed into music. And several years ago, a project called LHCSound built a library of the "sounds" of a top quark jet and the Higgs boson, among others. The project hoped to develop sonification as a technique for analyzing the data from particle collisions so that physicists could "detect" subatomic particles by ear.

BEST OF THE WEB: Forbidden Science "IndyWatch Feed World"

What still belongs to Science and what does not? Who is to decide what is science and what is para-science or pseudo-science? Some kinds of research are welcomed at one university, but not at another. There are respected scientists, some of whom are Nobel Prize winners, who are ostracized, most of the time by gossip, by various covert activities of their colleagues, simply because they dare to ask questions and research phenomena that others consider as "unworthy". I have already mentioned several such cases, one example being the treatment of the "strange interests" of Alfred Wallace by Encyclopedia Universalis. Someone - we do not know who it was - decided that a major part of the research of a distinguished scientist should be suppressed - the public should not be told about it, that it is better to tell a lie than to tell an inconvenient truth.

FIAT What is it Really! "IndyWatch Feed World"

QUESTION: Governments create their own sovereign fiat currency, to facilitate trade, among other reasons. So counterfeit is punishable, in some countries, by death, & at minimum, incarceration. Currency is supposed to be sacrosanct, created under the most exacting conditions. So what to do when your own govt engages in what is essentially officially endorsed counterfeit? I mean, the money has become almost meaningless, unless youre on the receiving end. For non-insiders like mebuy PM.

The idea of using AI in search engines is part of the discussion.  Obviously search results are already being ruined by AI-generated SEO traps.  Combatting that will involve the use of AI, by necessity.  As long as all of this is in the hands of international conglomerates and organized crime, of course its going to be an endless fuckpile.  But having a search engine better recognize the intent of my question and give me results that arent just based on a few keywords?  Id love to see it.  And if AI can accelerate the development of new medicines and other improvements to human quality of life?  Motherfuck a luddite trying to save jobs.

How To Be the Woman That Doesnt Seek Validation "IndyWatch Feed World"

We have all been guilty of seeking validation at one point or another, and this likely ties into the societal pressure placed on women to please others. We doubt ourselves because we are hard-wired to try to please everyone around us, but this same societal conditioning is the very thing that will destroy our mental health and well-being.

Throughout history, women have been pressured to seek out validation, most especially from men. At one point in time, our survival depended upon it, because we had very few rights. Fast-forward to now, and while times have changed, it is still hard-wired in our DNA to seek validation from others. Of course, there are other factors at play as well. Regardless of the reasons, if you are ready to take your power back, then I have 6 tips to share with you.

6 ways to become a woman who does not seek validation from others.

1. Get to know yourself.

In order to believe in yourself, you have to know yourself. I dont mean know yourself in the vague sense of the word, I mean you need to really know yourself. You need to sit down with yourself and be honest about who you are, what you believe in, what you are capable of, what your weaknesses are, what your flaws are, and what makes you beautiful.

2. Understand your worth.

There are many of us that do not get taught what our value is. Instead, we are taught that we should be the prettiest girl in the room, the quietest, and the people pleaser. Let go of these notions and understand that this is your life and you are worthy of everything you desire and more.

3. Understand what you have accomplished and what you are capable of.

Look back at what you have accomplished. Think of times in which you stepped up and showed out. For example, remember that time that you got that promotion because you worked for it? Or, do you remember that time you could have given up when things were hard, but you kept going instead? Count those wins!

4. Practice self-care.

You cannot pour from an empty cup. If you are always doing for everyone else and letting your needs fall to the back burner, you do not value yourself. Make a point of showing YOU that you value YOU.

5. Practice setting boundaries.

Boundaries are everything. At the end of the day, when you seek validation from others, you are violating your own boundaries and honestly the boundaries of others. Why? Its not ANYONES responsibility to validate you.

6. Surround yourself with the right people.

There is an old saying that goes something along the lines of you are who you surround yourself with, and well, that couldnt be more true. So, if you want to be strong and confident, then you need to surround yourself with people who are strong and confident and who value you.

7 Books Every Parent Should Read To Their Child "IndyWatch Feed World"

As parents, we want our kids to have the best life they possibly can have, and the easiest way to ensure that you are achieving this is by reading to your kids. You might be thinking that this sounds crazy, but did you know that reading to your kids can encourage their development in a myriad of ways?

Not only is reading an enjoyable activity that your kids will love- but it also is an activity that will help their vocabulary, encourage them to build problem-solving skills, enhance their imagination and encourage healthy social behaviors. With that said, the content that you read to them is just as important as the activity itself. Below, I will go over 7 books that every parent should read to their child.

1. The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein

This is a book that is beloved by many and for good reason: it is an amazing read. This book goes through the different life, love, and relationship changes that happen during our lives. Additionally, it teaches children about generosity and gratitude, which is a must.

2. Oh, The Places Youll Go, by Dr. Suess

This book is an emotional read to be a childs book, and it leaves you feeling a sense of hope and happiness when you finish it. The best part about this book is that it shares a very necessary message: that we are in charge of our own destinies.

3. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Not only is this book a very interesting journey alongside a little caterpillar who grows into a beautiful butterfly, but it is also filled with beautiful art. One of the best things about this book is the message behind it, which tells us about transformation. There is a reason why everyone loves this book. Its the perfect read for a smaller child, like a toddler or pre-k child.

4. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, by Lois Ehlert

When I saw this book at the bookstore, I knew I had to pick it up. Growing up, I loved this book. Its a simple read, and it can be read in the form of a song. Not to mention how it easily teaches little ones how to say their ABCs.

5. The Raindrop, by Brian D. Mcclure

If you are looking for a childs book with a deep message about how we value ourselves, this one is it. In this book, a little raindrop begins to feel worthless and meaningless. Throughout its journey, it learns about itself and finds out that it has much more value than it ever imagined.

6. Where the Sidewalk Ends, by Shel Silverstein

Shel Silverstein was not only a great writer, but also a great artist and poet. This book includes an extensive list of poetry and imagery that will be sure to empower your little ones imagination.

7. Charlottes Web

While most people have seen the movie, the book is way better. In this book, a little pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte. Charlotte creates a plan to save the piglet from the butcher and through their friend...

4 Signs He Has An Avoidant Attachment Style "IndyWatch Feed World"

Back in the 1950s, John Bowlby, M.D., and Mary Ainsworth, Ph.D. realized a unique relationship between how a child relates to their parent in their earliest stage. Based on their work, when children do not properly bond with their parents, they end up with dysfunctional attachment styles, like avoidant attachments.

There are four main attachment styles: anxious, avoidant, disorganized, and secure. When a child is properly bonded to their mother or caregiver early on, they securely attach, and when their bond is somehow stunted, they may end up with one of the others. Anxious attachment styles cause people to be clingy, to be obsessive, and to be fearful constantly of losing their partner or doing something wrong. Avoidant attachment styles lead to people being extremely fearful of commitment and pulling back from emotional depth altogether.

Sadly, being with someone with an unhealthy attachment style can be extremely hurtful. Here are four signs that indicate an avoidant attachment style.

1. When the going gets good, he gets going.

People who are avoidant in their attachment style tend to have difficulty with commitment. Due to this, when things are going well in a relationship or a new partnership, they are likely to bail. To them, good means that they may get attached, and that means they could get hurt. So, instead of being able to feel safe and secure, they pull back.

2. They cling to the past.

Another tell-tell sign of an avoidant attachment is when you notice your partner is stuck in the past. You might find they have a history of this with past lovers. They may collect past love interests on their socials, and you may even hear them constantly reminiscing about someone else.

3. They lack trust in anyone.

People with avoidant attachment styles tend to not trust others. Whenever you tell them you will do something, they will be suspicious. They will constantly be coming behind you, checking to see if you are lying to them or doing them wrong.

4. They are hot/cold.

The biggest sign to me is someone who is either all in or all out. One moment, they seem fine, and they may even talk about commitment. However, when it comes time to pay up, they run for the hills.

5 Ways To Be Gentle, Yet FIRM With Your Kids "IndyWatch Feed World"

As a parent, we are constantly toeing the line between being assertive and being compassionate. While we want disciplined kids, who listen and who are good humans, we also want children who feel heard and loved.

Disciplining can be difficult, especially if you were raised by parents who were not so gentle or parents who let you do whatever you wanted to do. At the end of the day, neither of those approaches is going to get the results you want. With that said, the question remains, how do you stay firm with your children while remaining gentle and loving?

Here are 5 simple tips that will help you accomplish exactly that.

1. Create an environment that is conducive to what you are trying to accomplish.

Children will rebel against parents who always seem angry with them, it is simply in their nature. So, it is your job as a parent to create a warm and loving environment, where your kids have a voice so that when it comes time to get firm with them, they will trust in you and listen.

2. Keep your posture right.

When approaching your child, you need to maintain yourself. Do not let them see you struggling to be firm, because they will sense that you dont trust yourself. In turn, they are far less likely to take you seriously. Stand tall, maintain your facial expression, and stay in control.

3. Manage your tone.

Your tone is everything. If you softly tell your son to stop playing and do his homework, and he doesnt listen, it is likely because he isnt taking you seriously. Instead, use a deep tone that is serious, loud enough to get the point across but not yelling, and use commands, not questions.

4. Talk less.

If you throw a bunch of commands at your child or use too many words when trying to command them, they are going to get lost. Instead, keep it short and sweet.

5. Look back at situations that didnt work.

When there are times in which you are not firm enough or your attempts failed, use them to learn. Look back and ask yourself what you could have done better. Identify these issues and then come up with a strategy for next time.

First published on November 15, 2015, this incisive report was a very popular article. As a result of media censorship it is no longer featured by the search engines. After the catastrophic attacks of September 11 2001 monumental sorrow and a feeling of desperate and understandable anger began to permeate the American psyche. A few []

Geminispace: Still Growing, Still Community-Controlled "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Summary: Almost 2.4k live (online) capsules are observed by Lupa right now (there are more, but Lupa cannot see them all), with just 31 more to go before this 2,400 milestone

THE growth of Gemini did not stop. 2021 and 2022 were exciting years of growth for Gemini; we made many videos and published many articles about that. Just because we barely do that anymore doesnt mean we mothballed the thing and it doesnt mean that users abandoned it. In terms of the number of Gemini servers, it continues to grow. In terms of actual users who surf Geminispace, that too is growing. Here are the stats for the last two weeks of March, from Techrights alone:

Almost 50,000 of the above were transported through a Web proxy.

Many people use apps, but thats a different problemThe Tux Machines Gemini capsule, which is relatively new (only months old), there have been 14.5k requests since the start of the month (April). So there too there has been a lot of activity.

The World Wide Web is shrinking (more sites shut down than new ones created; Google continues to dominate), but people flock elsewhere. Theyre still online, but they may be using other protocols. Many people use apps, but thats a different problem

Here is the growth of Gemini visualised (graph plotted just 2 hours old). Gemini, unlike W3C-led bloat, is community-controlled.

Valve Shows A Huge Drop In Linux Gamers For March, But The Numbers Are Questionable "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Valve just published their Steam Survey results for March 2023 and these initial numbers show a 0.54% drop to the Linux gaming marketshare, putting the overall Linux gaming population at around 0.84% of the Steam customer base. However, once again these numbers appear skewed/inaccurate...

Microsoft Layoffs in the Buzzwords Department "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Far too many divisions at Microsoft operate at a loss and it is unsustainable, even with bailouts from taxpayers, facilitated by Trump and Biden in more recent years under the guise of coronavirus stimulus and defence contracts

Debt Loading

Summary: Microsoft hired or acquired (acquisition-based hiring, which enables faking growth, faking wealth when no actual money changes hands, and sometimes debt-loading) a lot of trash and hype; now it pays the price

IT is far too easy to get cynical these days, seeing how technology gets described in the media. We wrote many articles in the past, condemning or just playfully mocking all sorts of marketing buzzwords.

Heres the latest at Microsoft: (hard to keep track already of all those waves of layoffs; its not just 10,000 staff but a lot more)

Microsoft is shutting down its metaverse unit comprising 100 employees amidst broader layoffs. Microsoft has internally announced disbanding its Industrial Metaverse Core group, a division comprising around 100 employees focused on bringing the metaverse to industrial environments through software.

Just a fortnight or so after Microsoft fired AI staff it is firing the Metaverse staff. What next? Will Microsoft also fire all the Smart staff and be left with a bunch of Cantrells?

More on My Aborted Trip "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

We cant blame Amtrak for this one.  The storm damage in Little Rock would almost certainly have caused the Union Pacific Railroad, which owns the tracks that the Texas Eagle uses between Joliet, IL and Dallas, TX, to tell Amtrak not to send the train.  (Superliner rolling stock has a pretty high profile and can be blown over in extremely high winds more easily than single-level equipment can.)

I had actually shown up at the Amtrak station way early to beat the rains that were headed my way.  I had a sleeper ticket on the train, so I had access to the first-class lounge; and I wrote what would have been my day-zero trip report while I was there:

Now begins my trip to Hurst, TX for the Southwestern Rail Conference 2023.  Although the venue is called the Hilton Garden Inn Dallas, its actually closer to Fort Worth.

itinerary

Im way early for 21s departure, but the storm that hit California the other day is now bearing down on me, and I wanted to beat the rain.  Theres still over six hours until we start boarding; but since Im in the sleeper, I get to use the first-class lounge.

Im leaving a day early, and returning a day late, because I couldnt get sleeper space on the Texas Eagle on the days that I wanted to travel, probably because other conference attendees were quicker making reservations than I was.  Fortunately, the folks at the meeting hotel gave me the conference rate for both extra days.

I finally got my BU-353N GPS receiver that plugs into a USB port on my laptop, and Ive verified that I can see my current location using mapping software called Maptitude, but I havent tried it out while moving yetwell see how well it works.  Like on my recent trip to Seattle, I also have my Oticon TV Adapter 3.0 which will plug into the earphone jack on my scanner and generate a bluetooth signal that feeds my hearing aids, so this train geek will be able to listen to the conversations between the conductors, engineers and dispatchers without disturbing any other passengers.

I have room D in both directions, so the electrical outlet will be near the window, and Ill need only the power strip with the surge protector and four-foot cord on the train; but Im bringing along the power strip with a longer cord just in case theres no place to plug in the laptop near the desk in the hotel room where Ill be using it.  (That was the case with the the first place I stayed in Seattle which seemed like it was designed by marketeers instead of hospitality folks.)

This is Important I Have Been Warning Ukraine Has Been Losing "IndyWatch Feed World"

 

You should listen to this carefully. The Neocons will have at least another 500,000 peoples blood on their hands. I have stated that Putin NEVER sought to invade and conquer Ukraine. It was also a Special Action only to free the Russian Dunbas. The American Neocons are the ones who have been pushing this to defeat Russia. They never cared about the people of Ukraine. They have been used as cannon fodder. Perhaps as we enter the final days into the target of the ECM April 10th, it will have this defeat to deal with. To all of those who bought into the whole Putin is just evil scenario, you better think again, why are you so easily manipulated by Neocon propaganda? Because this is not going to end.

Raw sewage dumped into English rivers 825 times A DAY last year, discharges doubled following environmental protection funding cut "IndyWatch Feed World"

Keir Starmer has accused the government of "turning Britain's waterways into an open sewer", as data showed raw discharges were sent into English rivers 825 times a day last year. Private water companies have been consistently accused of failing to take action, and the Environment Agency admitted there were more than 300,000 spillages into rivers and coastal areas in 2022, lasting for more than 1.75m hours. The alarming figures led to calls for the environment secretary, Thrse Coffey, to resign, and added to the pressure on Rishi Sunak to do more to tackle the issue.

UK: 21 billion of public money lost in fraud since Covid lockdowns began and most will never be recovered "IndyWatch Feed World"

Tens of billions of pounds have been lost to fraud since the start of the COVID pandemic, according to the National Audit Office (NAO), with little chance of the majority being reclaimed. Of the 21bn identified by the NAO to have been lost by the government, more than 7bn is linked to schemes introduced during the pandemic And it says it is "very unlikely" that the bulk of the taxpayers' money will be recovered. Levels of fraud rose almost fourfold from 5.5bn two years before the pandemic to 21bn in the following two years.
