Fenster in Russland bleiben gefhrlich.Die ehemalige ... "IndyWatch Feed Europe"

Fenster in Russland bleiben gefhrlich.

Die ehemalige Spielerin des Handball-Bundesligisten SV Union Halle-Neustadt, Victoria Divak, ist im Alter von 29 Jahren gestorben. [] Sie sei aus dem Fenster gefallen, berichtete der Sender

Hmm. bei einer jungen Athletin ist die Rauch-Hypothese nicht sonderlich wahrscheinlich, oder?

Aber egal. Macht euch keine Sorge. Sturz aus dem Fenster gilt in Russland jetzt als natrliche Todesursache :-)

Zuknftig werden Ausflle bei Microsoft 365 noch groflchigere Arbeitsunfhigkeit auslsen, weil niemand mehr selber arbeitet und alle nur noch auf die Cloud-"KI" von Microsoft angewiesen sind.

Den Kram berhaupt in die Cloud zu schieben war ja schon ein kapitaler Fehler. Jetzt auch noch Cloud-"KI" in Arbeitsprozesse zu bernehmen wird das nochmal verdoppeln.

Der Ukraine-Krieg war auch im Hinblick auf die Geheimdienste eine Zeitenwende.

Die russischen Dienste, von denen man bis dahin nicht viel gehrt hatte, haben seit dem Krim-Krieg stndig irgendwelche Behauptungen und Dokumente verbreitet, die sich dann alle als plump geflscht herausstellten.

Die westlichen Dienste mussten sich diese Ble nicht geben. Die geben ihre Dokumente einfach der Presse und die verffentlicht sie dann nicht. "The Guardian has obtained documents" ist einer meiner Lieblingssprche der letzten Jahre. In diesem Fall aber nicht der Guardian sondern die Washington Post.

Und was verbreiten sie so an Informationen? Dass der Kreml eine Antikriegs-Koalition zwischen AfD und den Wagenknecht-Linken zu bauen versucht habe.

Na DAS ist ja mal eine vllig berraschende Wendung!1!! Das ist ja genau das, was wir hren wollten! Na so ein Zufall! Na dann brauchen wir auch keine Beweise.

The documents details of which were broadly corroborated by officials in Western governments show for the first time the Kremlins direct attempts to interfere in German politics by seeking to forge a new coalition among Wagenknecht, the far left and the AfD, as well as to support protests by extremists on the left and right against the German government.

Wisst ihr noch, frher? Als man von der Presse erwartet hat, dass sie der Darstellung der Regierung widerspricht? Dass sie Dinge unabhngig prft und nicht blo die Position der Regierung verbreitet?

Die Zeiten sind vorbei.

Heute sind Aussagen von "officials in Western governments" kein Witz sondern Standard-Verhalten.

Immerhin hat die Washington Post wenigstens berhaupt rudimentr zu recherchieren versucht und allen Angeklagten kurz eine Gelegenheit zum Dementieren gegeben, die die natrlich auch alle genutzt haben.

Aber im Westen haben die Dienste da keine groe Hrde zu berwinden, weil die Bevlkerung eh schon von der Presse weichgeschossen ist. Die Dienste sagen hier ja nur, was sie eh schon die ganze Zeit gesagt haben, und was die Presse auch schon die ganze Zeit sagt.

Was fr ein Nothingburger diese Nummer ist, knnt ihr ja selbst kurz experimentell messen. Indem ihr die Umkehrung als Gedankenexperiment betrachtet. Russische Geheimdienste haben der FAZ Dokumente gezeigt, dass die USA Deutschland als Speerspitze der Pro-Ukraine-Koalition aufzubauen und einzuspannen versucht haben. Die FAZ hat dazu Dokumente gesehen, aber Regierungsvertreter der USA und Deutschlands dementieren.

Iran Praises Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Admitting US is the Godfather of Daesh "IndyWatch Feed War"

By Ilya Tsukanov Sputnik 21.04.2023

Iran has spent years accusing the US of helping to create and nurture Daesh. In 2018, Revolutionary Guards Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani urged Iranian diplomats to go to the UN and slap the West in the face with evidence of US collusion with the terrorist group. Soleimani was later killed [assassinated] in a US missile strike in Baghdad in 2020.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani waded into the US presidential politics on Friday, offering praise for Democratic hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for confirming Tehrans long-stated view that the Daesh/ISIS terror group was created by Washington.

There was no doubt the US is the creator of #ISIS, but for those who deliberately closed their eyes to the truth, the statement of Robert F. Kennedy, the nephew of John F. Kennedy saying WE created ISIS reaffirms the fact that the American regime is the godfather of Daesh/ISIS, Kanaani tweeted.

The spokesman followed up the message with a Farsi-language tweet featuring a video excerpt from RFK Jr.s speech in Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday in which the politician pointed out how US intelligence agencies have repeatedly lied Americans into pointless foreign wars, destroyed nations and given rise to terrorism, including Daesh.

My uncle came into office, two months later he was fighting his intelligence apparatus and his military because they wanted to invade they wanted to do the Bay of Pigs. He was totally against it [but] he let them roll over them. And in the middle of the Bay of Pigs he realized they were lying to them and he realized that the function of the intelligence agencies had become to provide the military-industrial complex with a constant pipeline of war. And he came out during the middle of the night during the Bay of Pigs catastrophe and he said I wanna take the CIA and shatter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds, RFK Jr. said.

And George W. Bush had the same problem. George W. Bush says the worst mistake he made as president was listening to CIA director George Tenet telling him it was a slam dunk that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. And so the neocons and the CIA got to go into Iraq and do regime change. Now weve spent $8 trillion and what did we get for that $8 trillion? Nothing. Worse than nothing. Iraq is now much worse off than it was when we went in there. We killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein ever did. We may have killed a million Iraqis, nobody knows the number We created ISIS. We drove two million refugees up into Europe, they destabilized democracy for a generation in Europe, they caused Brexit. This is the cost of the...

Scranton Joe Nevermore: Its Always Been Delaware Joe "IndyWatch Feed War"

In early March 2023, President Joe Biden embedded in his proposed 2024 budget to Congress revenue increases through tax measures that the rich and corporations do not like. Like his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, he doesnt really mean what he says.

Bidens four proposed increases are significant because they would restore the corporate tax rate to 28% from Trumps decrease to 21% in 2017, raise the top rate for income above $400,000 a year from 37% to 39.6%, raise the 1% excise tax on massive stock buybacks to 4% and get rid of the gaping super-rich private fund managers carried interest loophole, so as to tax such income at ordinary rates.

He even tossed in a proposal to tax capital gains at the same rate as income for households with more than one million dollars in annual income.

The restorative taxes on these affluent tax escapees, compliments of Donald Trump, George W. Bush and Congressional Republicans, are little more than a wink to the major donors that Biden is summoning to Washington the weekend after next to grease his re-election campaign.

Here are my suggestions to President Biden:

Mr. President: Like other Democrats verbal support for a $15 federal minimum wage and a public option added to Obamacare, the citizenry doesnt believe you are going to fight for your proposed corporate super-rich tax proposals. Why should they? Your words on Capitol Hill are insufficient without the subsequent presidential and Democratic Party muscle to make these restorative increases credible.

For example, where is your presidential tour publicizing these necessary revenue increases? If you are really Scranton Joe you could start by going to Scranton, Pennsylvania and standing with blue-collar union workers to show the contrast in their federal tax rates compared to the plutocrats and the often zero-paying giant corporations. You could jar the sleepy Democratic National Committee to galvanize all Democratic members of Congress to barnstorm their districts to promote these overdue reforms during their numerous recesses back home.

You could make a major primetime address about redressing these deeply felt inequities, shouldered by liberal and conservative Americans alike, and urge your party to hold press conferences filled with examples and images that demonstrate serious resolve to make Capitol Hill shake from the electrified pressure back home.

Leading newspapers would print your op-eds on this subject. NPR, PBS and the Sunday talk shows would want to interview leading Democrats.

Join with leading citizen advocacy groups to tap into the civic community, so long skeptical of Democratic Party rhetoric not producing determined actions.

You can reject prejudged defeatism by your Democratic colleagues who say the corrupt and cruel Republicans have the votes to block such legislation. The Democratic-controlled Senate Committees can hold powerful attention-getting p...

Sri Lanka aims to restore ancient irrigation tanks in climate change plan "IndyWatch Feed Enviro"

ANURADHAPURA, Sri Lanka Current climate models forewarn that Sri Lankas dry zone is likely to become drier due to climate change, resulting in water shortages for agriculture. A country that has twice been ranked among the top 10 countries in the climate risk index, Sri Lanka intends to revive its village tank cascade systems, a neglected but highly efficient series of ancient irrigation systems as part of its climate adaptation strategy. A tank cascade system is a hydrologically interconnected series of tanks organized within micro-catchments in the dry zone landscape. The water released to paddy fields from one tank flows to the next, effectively sharing water from the top to the bottom and feeding many paddy lands. Each component in a cascade system adopts a specific functional purpose that can be explained in modern science even though they were designed centuries ago, according to research. A graphical representation of the tank cascade system. Image courtesy of IUCN Sri Lanka. Restoring the tank cascade system has a wider implication from the point of view of climate change as the system has proved its resilience to extreme weather events, said P.B. Dharmasena, former research officer at the Department of Agriculture and a specialist in soil and water management. The system can absorb shocks of natural disasters such as floods, which can be controlled by storing water, and drought impact, by reducing water loss from tanks through absorption in the surrounding environment. The cascaded tank-village system also contributes to efficient water managementThis article was originally published on Mongabay

Will The Republic Of Korea Dispatch Lethal Aid To Ukraine? "IndyWatch Feed War"

BY ANDREW KORYBKO | APRIL 22, 2023

Republic of Korea (ROK) President Yoon Suk-yeol told Reuters on Wednesday that his country was considering the dispatch of lethal aid to Ukraine if the humanitarian situation descends into a deeper crisis as a result of alleged Russian war crimes. In his words, If there is a situation the international community cannot condone, such as any large-scale attack on civilians, massacre or serious violation of the laws of war, it might be difficult for us to insist only on humanitarian or financial support.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that any weapons supplies would imply a certain involvement in this conflict. That same day, former Russian President and incumbent Deputy Chair of the National Security Council Dmitry Medvedev wrote the following on social media: I wonder what the residents of this nation would say when they see the newest example of Russian weapons in possession of their closest neighbors, our partners from the DPRK [Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea]?

The ROKs Yonhap News Agency then cited an unnamed senior presidential official on Thursday to report that Decision on lethal aid to Ukraine depends on Russias actions. According to their source, The reason we are not taking such action voluntarily is because we want to simultaneously and in a balanced manner fulfill the task of stably maintaining and managing South Korea-Russia relations while actively joining the ranks of the international community in defending the freedom of the Ukrainian people.

The larger context within which the latest ROK-Russian spat is playing out concerns President Yoons upcoming trip to the US next week, during which time its expected that US President Joe Biden will request that his country participate in some sort of arrangement for dispatching lethal aid to Ukraine. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg declared in mid-February that his US-led military bloc is in a so-called race of logistics/war of attrition with Russia in Ukraine, and itll struggle to win without help.

Amazing, no, that in Newport, part of Lincoln County, Oregon, having this big confab, of people, citizens and stakeholders alike wondering what the state of the state of decay is as it plays out in Salem (OR capitol) and the blue-red divide Portlandia gets the votes, while the eastern part of Oregon is vying to break-away into Greater Idaho.

The Oregon Legislatures Joint Ways and Means Committee has been hosting a series of public hearings across the state, and the committee brought its roadshow to Newport last Friday, where a crowd of around 350 people filled the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Activists, mayors, schoolteachers, community leaders, a doctor, a sheriff and a judge were among scores of supplicants who sat before the high-powered legislative panel to plead for a share of the proposed $32.1 billion state budget. The delegation, chaired by Sen. Elizabeth Steiner, included 22 senators and representatives, divided evenly and spread behind a table on the PAC stage. (source)

Easy access to guns results in needless death and injury "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

A colleague of mine had as his tagline to his emails the old saying, When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Recent events have made me think that When you have a gun, everything looks like a threat, while less pithy, expresses a truism.

This thought was triggered by a recent set reports of people shooting at others seemingly for no reason other than they felt threatened by innocent actions and happened to have guns conveniently at hand to use. In each case, death and injuries arose simply because one person had a gun and felt that its use was the only way to deal with a situation when doing nothing or just talking would have worked much better. But having a gun not only prevented them from exploring other options, it escalated the situation beyond all reason.

One case that has received a lot of publicity is that of a 16-year old Black adolescent Ralph Yarl who happened to go to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri to pick up his younger siblings from a party. When he rang the doorbell, the 84-year old white homeowner Andrew Lester, seeing him through the glass door, shot him twice, once in the head. Yarl survived but it is very likely that there will be long-term consequences that he and his family will have to deal with.

The homeowners grandson said that he was disgusted by the shooting and that his grandfather said racist things and watched Fox News round the clock.

In an interview with CNNs Don Lemon Thursday morning, Lesters grandson, Klint Ludwig, said hes disgusted by the shooting and stands with Yarl.

This country, it happens over and over again where people get away with killing unarmed innocent Black people, he said.

Ludwig said his grandfathers racist tendencies have been reinforced by his media diet.

He was fully into that and watched Fox News all day every day blaring in his living room and I think that stuff really kind of reinforces this negative view of minority groups,

Hes just a stock, American Christian male, older, thats just how they are, he continued. The conspiracies and weird random racist things that they say.

Ludwig said he pushed back on his grandfathers racist ideas and conspiracies, including about election theft, infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci, and something about Black women getting abortions. He said theyve subsequently lost touch.

Flashback The Stephen Lawrence Affair "IndyWatch Feed War"

Rixon Stewart The Truthseeker (print publication) 1999

Question: can something be ostensibly anti racist but still harbour a hidden fascist agenda?

Answer: yes, particularly if it is Sir William McPhersons Report on the murder of Stephen Lawrence.

Let me explain: the inquiry into the murder recently released its findings along with recommendations that propose sweeping legal reform. After careful study however, it becomes obvious that the Lawrence Inquiry is no more than a Trojan horse: a Trojan horse for the introduction of draconian legislation. Of course, though it cant be called fascist because it has been introduced under the guise of an anti-racist banner. So naturally anyone who argues against it can automatically be branded as a racist. At its heart though the inquirys recommendations reveal a chilling authoritarian mentality, in a word fascist.

The scene was set on April 22 1993, Stephen Lawrence, an 18 year old A level student was waiting for a bus in Eltham, S.E. London. A group of 5 or 6 white youths approached Stephen and his friend Duwayne Brooks. The word nigger was used; Stephen was stabbed and died a short while later. From the outset it is alleged that the investigation was bungled because of institutionalised racism. Six years later the alleged killers are still free, despite 2 trials and an inquiry into the investigation itself. The inquirys report is published amidst intense media coverage, further allegations of institutionalised racism and calls for the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to resign.

Amidst all the media generated controversy the reports proposals for sweeping reform become almost a side issue. In a sense they sneak in by the back door whilst everybodys attention was being diverted. Yet they lie at the very heart of the report and, when all is said and done, are probably the reason for its existence.

First though the report opens its case with allegations of institutionalised racism and unwitting prejudice. Only two clear examples are given, neither of which really stands up to rigorous objective scrutiny. However, its recommendations for sweeping change are based on the assumption that institutionalised racism is endemic: It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes or behaviour which amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethic people.

Attitudes? Ignorance? Thoughtlessness? George Orwell had a term for this; he called it thought crime.

The report is particularly critical of D.S. Davison for maintaining that the killing may not have been racially motivated. According to him, These lads had attacked whites before, very similarly with a similar knife. I believe this was thugs. They were described as the Krays. T...

What are we going to do about Missouri? "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

For one thing, we have to deal with the rise of Missouri Man, rival to the ubiquitous Florida Man.

On April 18, Republic Police Department officers were called to a Price Cutter to respond to a call about a robbery in which a man held an employee at gunpoint so that he would be served meat.

Larry Gene Gay, 70, of Springfield, is charged with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon and a felony count of armed criminal action.

Court documents show that officers responded to the scene and ordered Gay to get out of his truck so they could arrest him. After he was taken into custody, an officer removed a loaded semi-automatic pistol with a bullet in the chamber from Gays hip holster.

In an interview, Gay said he went to Price Cutter to buy steaks. He told the good man who was helping him that they needed to weigh the steaks. However, the meat department was closed. Gay said at that point, he showed his gun Just to say Im not stealing. I need you here to help me to get a couple of these steaks. Im not going to hurt you.

The officer asked Gay why he thought the people in the store called police and told them he was threatening them with his gun.

I dont know, Gay said in the interview. I have no idea.

Hand stupid people a gun, and at some point theyre going to use it to deal with some minor inconvenience. Missouri has a lot of guns, and a lot of stupid people, its an inevitable problem. But we could wave that away, its a problem with a few individuals, Ive met a lot of good people in Missouri, and we cant blame the whole state.

Heres wider problem, though. Missouri is run by a gang of regressive Republicans who have been passing all kinds of ugly laws. They hate transgender kids, you know, and want to deny them good healthcare. The state Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, set up a snitch line where random concerned citizens could submit their complaints about those danged transes and their wicked doctors who poison them all with estrogen and testosterone. Its not clear what Bailey was going to do with those complaintsarrest everyone who was androgynous? Send out genital inspectors to check the accused?

Being a Radical Has Led Me to Sometimes Live a Double Life "IndyWatch Feed War"

Throughout the 2000s, youd find me regularly riding NYCs subways during the very early morning hours specifically from Queens into Manhattan to work with personal training clients in gyms. In fact, right up to the plandemic, I was still training a couple of clients in their homes.

On those subway rides, Id sometimes grab a copy of Metro one of NYCs free newspapers delivering a daily dose of corporate media propaganda. However, there was a brief period of time when Metro would allow some subversive voices into the mix. That included yours truly.

From about 2004 to 2007, Metro went through a phase of paying edgy freelancers so I jumped in with both feet. This even included an author photo shoot!

Thus, for a couple of years, my decidedly non-mainstream perspective and my decidedly non-mainstream photo (wearing a dumpster diving team t-shirt, no less) were on display for millions of New Yorkers to peruse during their morning ride to work or school (see image up top).

As someone who can remember when newspaper columnists held sway in my hometown, let me tell you, it was pretty cool to be jammed into a crowded subway car next to someone reading my latest article.

How prevalent is fracking in West Virginia?

Update from the Stacker Service, Apr 10, 2022

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a means of gas extraction that requires blasting large volumes of water, sand and chemicals into subterranean rock to drive out and capture natural gas. The first fracking occurred in the U.S. in the 1860s, followed almost a century later by what we recognize today as modern fracking. Natural gas is significantly more productive than other fossil fuels, with a 92% efficiency rate between wellhead to home compared to 32% for coal. But opponents of fracking cite numerous environmental and health threats, from poisoned groundwater and the destruction of habitats to heightened ground-level ozone that can increase the risk of asthma and other respiratory issues. Stacker analyzed data from FracFocus, a national hydraulic fracturing chemical registry, to rank states with the most fracking wells. States are ranked by 2020 data, the most recent complete year available. Additional data on natural gas withdrawals from the Energy Information Administration is also provided, however, data on gas production exclusively from fracking is not available. On average, a fracking well can produce for 20 to 30 years, with some wells producing for far longer. During a fracked wells lifetime, output often drops in the first few years from more than 1,000 barrels a day to 100 barrels. That dropoff means new wells have to be dug regularly to maintain supply. This constant demand can lead to boom towns left with rampant unemployment, wells running dry, and potential health and environmental hazards. Water contamination and air pollution, and even heart attacks and reduced fertility, have all been linked to fracking, studies have shown. Between 2000 and 2015, the number of hydraulically fractured wells in the United States leaped from 23,000 to 300,000, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. These fracking wells represented about 67% of natural gas production and 51% of crude oil production across the nation. <p&gt...

Republicans ignore the principles of a good education clearly, they never had one "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

Every time they try to hide an ugly fact of history, they look worse theyre just compounding the problem. Were seeing this mistake in Florida and Texas and Tennessee, where Republican legislatures cobble up laws to silence teachers and prevent them from mentioning the ghastly evils that previous legislatures have executed. Its not going to work. It just means that the next generation is going to be confronted with the fact of American slavery, for example, and the fact that America tried to hush it up in the 2020s. Tennessee has been eager to join in the shameful displays of cowardice.

Last year, Tennessee passed one of those cookie-cutter rightwing bills banning the teaching of divisive concepts in higher education the very same sort of hogwash thats currently under a court injunction in Florida. The law, SB 623 prohibited teaching a whole bunch of very bad ideas, like the concept that One race or sex is inherently superior or inferior to another race or sex or the always fun An individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or another form of psychological distress solely because of the individuals race or sex so you cant read about Ruby Bridges, you. The bill also prohibited penalizing students for not endorsing the concepts, because we all know how professors like to demand that students recite from the Maoist catechism.

(Do follow that link to the Ruby Bridges story. There is a woman in Florida named Emily Conklin who is going to be on the poster about the wicked perpetrators of bigotry, her picture right next to the Ku Klux Klan, the Southern Democrats of the 1960s, and Steve King of Iowa.)

You can tell these congressvermin know nothing about how education works theyre of the Gods Not Dead school of projection, where they think their authoritarian vision of how to teach by law enforcement is the way we must work. For example, my genetics students have been given a bunch of papers on racist and sexist misconceptions in genetics that theyll be summarizing in class this weekand Ive explicitly told them that they can disagree with the papers without penalty.

April cooldown to plunge across US with over 11 million under frost, freeze threats "IndyWatch Feed World"

It's another temperature roller-coaster ride across much of the nation as another cold front will send temperatures plunging as we move into the weekend. Millions of people are currently under a winter or temperature alert. The FOX Forecast Center says temperatures would go from well above average to well below average for a majority of the US. For many, this could equate to nearly a 30- to 40-degree temperature drop within 24 hours. "For the past couple of weeks, we've been talking about temperatures warming up being anywhere between 10 to 20 degrees above average," FOX Weather meteorologist Jason Frazier said.

Frustrated citizens mock police use of traffic cameras for surveillance, defying the latest measures to enforce the dress code

The Iranian police's latest attempt to enforce the country's strict dress code, by using traffic cameras to identify unveiled women, has already provoked a backlash in a society where not wearing the hijab is becoming increasingly common.

Earlier in April, police began monitoring traffic cameras to identify women who are not wearing the hijab, as part of their implementation of the so-called "national chastity and hijab plan".

Those who are caught for the first time are sent a "warning text message as to the consequences" of their actions. On the second offence, their vehicles would be confiscated and they would face a lawsuit.

However, with an economic crisis still gripping the country, and with more women refusing to wear headscarves in public since 2022's anti-government protests, many in Iran find the government's concern with women's clothing infuriating.

Morteza, a taxi driver in his mid-30s, told Middle East Eye that he stood squarely opposed to the dress code enforcement in Iran.

We all contribute should we get paid for that? "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

In Silicon Valley, some of the brightest minds believe a universal basic income (UBI) that guarantees people unrestricted cash payments will help them to survive and thrive as advanced technologies eliminate more careers as we know them, from white collar and creative jobs lawyers, journalists, artists, software engineers to labor roles. The idea has gained enough traction that dozens of guaranteed income programs have been started in U.S. cities since 2020.

Yet even Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI and one of the highest-profile proponents of UBI, doesnt believe that its a complete solution. As he said during a sit-down earlier this year, I think it is a little part of the solution. I think its great. I think as [advanced artificial intelligence] participates more and more in the economy, we should distribute wealth and resources much more than we have and that will be important over time. But I dont think thats going to solve the problem. I dont think thats going to give people meaning, I dont think it means people are going to entirely stop trying to create and do new things and whatever else. So I would consider it an enabling technology, but not a plan for society.

The question begged is what a plan for society should then look like, and computer scientist Jaron Lanier, a founder in the field of virtual reality, writes in this weeks New Yorker that data dignity could be an even bigger part of the solution.

SpaceXs successful failure is a wake-up call for Starships timeline "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

SpaceX launched a fully integrated Starship launch vehicle for the first time on Thursday morning, a long-awaited and highly anticipated milestone in the vehicle development program.

The orbital test flight surpassed many expectations. The vehicle cleared Max Q the point at which the most aerodynamic pressure is exerted on the vehicle and flew for nearly three minutes despite eight of its 33 rocket engines failing. The rocket reached an altitude of almost 40 kilometers, the point of stage separation, at which time the upper stage failed to separate from the booster, leading to uncontrolled tumbling and a spectacular midair explosion.

Despite its fiery fate, the test was a success: SpaceX got tons of valuable data that will inform future Starship and Super Heavy prototypes. But for all the wins, the test was a stark reminder that Starship mission timelines are in need of a reset.

AI Poised to Transform Video Compression Landscape "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Apple's WaveOne purchase heralds a new era in smart-streaming of AR and video:

Apple's surprise purchase at the end of last month of WaveOne, a California-based startup that develops content-aware AI algorithms for video compression, showcases an important shift in how video signals are streamed to our devices. In the near-term Cuppertino's purchase will likely lead to smart video-compression tools in Apple's video-creation products and in the development of its much-discussed augmented-reality headset.

However, Apple isn't alone. Startups in the AI video codec space are likely to prove acquisition targets for other companies trying to keep up.

[...] AI codecs, having been developed over the course of decades, use machine-learning algorithms to analyze and understand the visual content of a video, identify redundancies and nonfunctional data, and compress the video in a more efficient way. They use learning-based techniques instead of manually designed tools for encoding and can use different ways to measure encoding quality beyond traditional distortion measures. Recent advancements, like attention mechanisms, help them understand the data better and optimize visual quality.

During the first half of the 2010s, Netflix and a California-based company called Harmonic helped to spearhead a movement of what's called "content-aware" encoding. CAE, as Harmonic calls it, uses AI to analyze and identify the most important parts of a video scene, and to allocate more bits to those parts for better visual quality, while reducing the bit rate for less important parts of the scene.

Content-aware video compression adjusts an encoder for different resolutions of encoding, adjusts the bit rate according to content, and adjusts the quality scorethe perceived quality of a compressed video compared to the original uncompressed video. All those things can be done by neural encoders as well.

The Annihilation of the Village Where God Was Born "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

BOHORODYCHNE, Ukraine Only a few naked and partly destroyed walls are still standing of what was once the home of 58-year-old Halyna Reshetnyak and her husband, Sergey. Broken tiles and bricks lay scattered around after an artillery shell ripped their house to pieces last year.

Everything was burning. It was chaos, explains Halyna, who evacuated when the Russian army began an assault on her village in eastern Ukraine last summer. Almost no one decided to stay. It was impossible to hide from the war here.

Halyna points to the neighboring houses to make her point. They have all suffered the same destructive fate. Only burned ruins remain, along with a few scattered belongings. No homes in Bohorodychne stand untouched after the Russian invasion of the village, which was liberated by Ukraine in September after having switched hands about 14 times.

Halyna Reshetnyak and her husband went to Bohorodychne for one day to see what had become of their home. Photo credit: / WhoWhatWhy

Empty Russian ammunition boxes, fragments from artillery shells and blown-up tanks, and unexploded mines are everywhere as a reminder of the Russian assault on the village. Bohorodychne is known for the Ukrainian Orthodox church which overlooks the city, which is now partially destroyed. In English, Bohorodychne means Where God was born. Only seven people live here now. Before the invasion, there were 600 residents.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive last year pushed the front line 25 miles away, and Bohorodychne is out of artillery range. Now, Halyna and Sergey have returned for just one day to see their old house and grasp the horror of what took place.

[It was] so beautiful here before the invasion. Everything was normal. People had work, Halyna said. She told WhoWhatWhy that the village used to be a tourist attraction because of its church and its beautiful surroundings near Siverskyi Donets River. Locals even used to call the village little Switzerland, she said.

NFC Antennas Have Other Uses "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

As NFC chips proliferate, so do the antennas they require for operation, and since many NFC-enabled items are single-use, this means theres an opportunity to put them to other uses. Its an avenue pursued by [Brother-live], as he strips the antennas from spent metro tickets and gets experimenting.

The antenna in an NFC-enabled card is a flexible PCB laminated between the plastic outer layers, with the tracks forming a coil round the outside of it. Using some solvent the cards can be easily separated and the antennas retrieved. Once the chip has been removed they can be cleaned up and soldered to, allowing wires to be connected.

What can you do with an NFC antenna? Not a huge amount as you can see in the (Russian language, English subtitles) video below the break, but he tries it as a not-very-good heating pad, a power harvesting antenna from NFC readers, and perhaps most promisingly, as the coil of a moving-coil speaker. Were not sure how much effort would be worth making on that last front, but we think with a bit of care there might be room for audible improvement.

If youve ever been tempted to have a look at an NFC card, its a subject weve covered before.

Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) scientists have created a promising injectable cell therapy to treat osteoarthritis that both reduces inflammation and also regenerates articular cartilage.

Recently identified by the Food and Drug Administration as a public health crisis, osteoarthritis affects more than 520 million people worldwide who deal with pain and inflammation. Osteoarthritis is typically induced by mechanical or traumatic stress in the joint, leading to damaged cartilage that cannot be repaired naturally.

Without better understanding of what drives the initiation and progression of osteoarthritis, effective treatment has been limited, said lead author Johanna Bolander of WFIRM. Initially, we studied what goes wrong in osteoarthritic joints, compared these processes to functional environments, and used this information to develop an immunotherapy cell treatment.

Crimes of Sirius Open Source Reported to the Police "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Series parts:

YOU ARE HERE ? Sirius Crimes Reported to British Authorities, Formally Registered With References (Many Victims), Heres What It Means and What Happens Next

Summary: Sirius is a good case study, especially for longtime insiders; Techrights investigates what it takes to deal with white-collar crime, starting with evidence-gathering to investigation and prosecution (maybe well have some mugshots to share at the end)

PENSION fraud seems rather common in the UK. Companies like pension providers profit from it. It seems to be happening routinely. So much so that it is a special category with loads of options. How many people in the UK report pension fraud each year? Probably a lot.

The crimes of Sirius Open Source go beyond pension fraud, but well focus on pensions here. Sirius isnt so unique in this regard, but there are points to note. The CEO escaped the company last month, but people below processed the payslips with fake claims of pension payments adding up. These payslips were basically lies. The company, Sirius, offered us a pension that did not exist. This was done not just to me but also to my colleagues; there are similar letters sent to them too, with accompanying payslips to demonstrate the glaring anomaly.

For over 5 years the company deducted money, for pension (arranged by Sirius, with alleged contributions of its own), but the money was not given to the pension provider, as formally confirmed by the pension provider itself (final response issued and challenged a week ago).

The company kept deducting for pensions, for another about 4 years, after it no longer even had any records with the pension provider (see letter).

The company refused to talk about this, even when inquiries came from former staff a long time ago. Now the company is in hiding, without a physical office. The companys CEO abruptly left last month (when all this was exposed and verified by the pension provider).

There are at least 3 people who participated in this embezzlement. It must be acted upon urgently as they may be hiding money and tampering with evidence.

As we noted a day ago, theres an upcoming series about the deception as the company may have engaged in debt/tax dodge/bankruptcy. All those pertinent shells of the co...

Sudan turmoil enters a second week as foreign nationals evacuated

Saudi Arabia announced the evacuations of its citizens from the conflict-scarred country, along with nationals of 'friendly' countries

MEE staff Sat, 04/22/2023 - 09:41

Sudanese army soldiers, loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, sit atop a tank in the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, on 20 April 2023 (AFP)

Fighting in Sudan has continued into its second week, as foreign governments enacted plans to evacuate their citizens from the conflict-ridden country.

Eid al-Fitr celebrations marking the end of Ramadan saw a moderate let up in the violence, but despite an agreed three-day ceasefire between the army and its rivals, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), locals still reported fighting across the country.

At least 400 people are thought to have died since fighting broke out between the two groups on 15 April, sparked off by plans to integrate the paramilitary RSF into the army.

The army, commanded by de facto head of state Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, announced on Friday that it had "agreed to a ceasefire for three days" to "enable citizens to celebrate Eid al-Fitr and allow the flow of humanitarian services".

The announcement came following calls by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken a day earlier.

RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (better known as Hemeti) also said in a statement posted online that he had "discussed the current crisis" with Guterres, and was "focused on the h...

Air Hockey Solitaire "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

While air hockey is a fine amusement, it isnt much fun if you cant find someone to play against. Unless that is, you build a mini table with a robotic defender. [Vaib], [Nathan], and [Navish] can show you how. There is a video you can see below that shows two players using the table without the robot.

The project takes a bit of woodworking, as you might expect. You also have to drill 576 holes for the air to lift the puck. Some of the components are 3D printed in PETG, too. The automated defense uses a camera and relies on the fact that the puck is the only red thing on the table. A servo moves to intercept the incoming puck and return the shot. We were disappointed the video didnt show the automated play.

We wondered if they had considered making a pair of the detachable robots and letting them play with each other. If you prefer football, the robot could probably adapt. Weve seen other robot air hockey contenders, so maybe a better idea would be to build different robots and let them compete for a gold medal.

Per: Los nios y las nias no somos ajenos a la situacin que vive el pas "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

Foto: Integrantes del Movimiento nacional de nios, nias y adolescentes trabajadores

Se cumplieron cuatro meses del golpe parlamentario contra Pedro Castillo en Per y la violacin a los Derechos Humanos parece ser la nica poltica visible del rgimen de Dina Boluarte. Incluso, su poltica de muerte la ubica dentro de uno de los rankings ms vergonzosos de la regin ya que, segn el Centro Estratgico Latinoamericano de Geopoltica (CELAG), es la segunda gestin con mayor nmero de vctimas desde el 2000 hasta la actualidad. Un rgimen con claras connotaciones racistas y patriarcales que ataca directamente contra las poblaciones campesinas e indgenas y que evidencia, tambin, un fuerte componente de violencia adultista.

Hoy, en Per, los derechos de las nieces y juventudes no slo no son protegidos sino que son vulnerados. Adems de la violacin de derechos bsicos como a la alimentacin, al ambiente sano, la educacin y la participacin cvica, son siete los nios y adolescentes asesinados en contexto de represin desde diciembre. Entre las primeras vctimas del golpe, se encuentran tres escolares que participaban junto a sus comunidades de las protestas tras la destitucin de Castillo. Entre ellos, David Atequipa de 15 aos y Beckham Quispe de 17 aos en la localidad de Andahuaylas del departamento de Apurmac y Bryan Apaza Humpiri de 15 aos en Juliaca, Puno, fallecieron por el impacto de perdigones (balas de plomo) lanzados por efectivos de la Polica Nacional con el apoyo de tropas del Ejrcito.

David es la primera persona asesinada en contexto de represin, su muerte pone de manifiesto la crueldad del desgobierno de Boluarte. El adolescente estaba cursando el tercer ao de secundaria e integraba el Movimiento Nacional de Nios, Nias y Adolescentes Trabajadores Organizados del Per (MNNATSOP), l se desempeaba como lustrador de zapatos y haca servicio de moto-taxi para ayudar a su familia. El 11 de diciembre mientras trabajaba con la moto vio que una multitud se diriga al aeropuerto de Andahuaylas y se incorpor a la manifestacin. All el impacto de un proyectil le destroz el pecho.

El MNNATSOP tiene una lucha histrica por la dignidad de los nios, nias y adolescentes trabajadores tanto del campo como de la ciudad de Per y promueven el protagonismo de las infancias

Las infancias integran las comunidades y habitan los territorios, no son sujetos aislados del entramado social. Por eso, como explic Loannys Padilla, educadora del MNNATSOP, los nios y nias se organizan porque son parte de una comunidad, de un pas, de una cosmovisin. En Per, a su vez, existe una fuerte identificacin con la cosmovisin andina que no distingue edades ni especies: todos los seres vivos integran a la Madre Tierra y la defienden agreg Padilla. Aunque sean invisibilizadas, tanto en las noticias como en las agendas, la...

Rise And Fall Of Warri, The Oil City "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

By Emeka Obiora

LAGOS APRIL 22ND (NEWSRANGERS)-Warri was a big industrial hub in the 70s to 90s. Warri Refinery, NNPC, DSC, Delta Glass, Shell, Chevron, Schlumberger, Dunlop, Agip, Saipem, Halliburton, etc were in full operation back then. Escravos and Forcados was at its peak. The city thrived, maritime activities thrived.
Multinational and local banks were present: Citibank, FBN, ACB, Savannah Bank, etc. Business activities thrived. Entertainment/nightlife was at its peak. Musicians, live bands and comedians held their sway: Majek Fashek, Emma Grey, Oritz Wiliki, Rex Lawson, who died on his way to Warri in 1971.

The town was full of life and it thrived. Mc Dermot Road was busy with maritime activities and contractors. Joma and Mosheshe were big fish distributors across the Niger Delta. Rubber produced locally, was used to produce plastics and tyres.
The town grew in size and had people coming from Ijebu Ode, Benin, Asaba, Imo, Anambra, Calabar, etc to settle down in Warri for economic activities. The airports were super busy: Escravos, Forcados and Warri airports. The Warri airport was even relocated to Osubi for expansion.

Warri was revelling in its glory. I almost forgot to mention, Warri Ports was fully operational and served as an economic booster for the city. It served businesses in Warri, Benin, Asaba and Onitsha. The port created huge employment opportunities for locals in particular and the State in general.
Things started to go downhill from the late 90s. Community leaders and youth chairmen began to fight themselves over control and sharing formula for royalties that came from oil and businesses from settlers. Itsekiris, Urhobos and Ijaw leaders and youths started fighting each other.

The bloody fight started around 1999 and lasted for years till 2003/2004. The community leaders started imposing local taxes called Deve on all companies, industries and local businesses, buildings and projects. Little by little, the companies frustrated, started leaving.
This continued throughout the early 2000s till 2010. The companies kept on leaving, one after the other. The companies laid off their employees. Unemployment rose. More companies left for PH, Lagos and Akwa Ibom. They laid off more staff. Unemployment increased still.

Today all that is left of Warri is a shadow of its glorious past. 95% of all the big companies in Warri had either...

El da que el cielo cay: la historia del nacimiento del volcn Parcutin "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

El 20 de febrero de 1943, un suceso natural cambi la vida de los habitantes de Parcutin. Los eventos ocurridos en un maizal del pueblo generaron incertidumbre, angustia y miedo en la poblacin. Algunos atribuyeron los hechos a un castigo divino, mientras que otros teman que se avecinaba el fin del mundo. Sin embargo, lo que estaba por suceder era el nacimiento de un volcn, el Parcutin.

Este volcn monogentico, que nace una sola vez y tiene una corta erupcin que puede durar desde meses hasta varios aos, marc un hito en la vulcanologa tanto en Mxico como a nivel mundial. Fue el primer volcn que la humanidad presenci y document desde su aparicin hasta su muerte, permitiendo la generacin de estudios y la documentacin de cada uno de sus procesos.

Cuando el Parcutin hizo erupcin, la vulcanologa an no exista como campo independiente de estudio. Era parte de estudios de geologa o ssmica. Ahora, es una disciplina en s misma. Aunque el tema de los volcanes monogenticos fue descuidado durante mucho tiempo, en los ltimos 10-20 aos hemos estado estudiando estos volcanes con mayor detalle, seala la Dra. Marie Nolle Guilbaud, investigadora Titular B del Departamento de Vulcanologa en el Instituto de Geofsica de la UNAM.

El nacimiento del Parcutin fue un momento histrico que cambi el curso de la vulcanologa. El volcn sirvi como un modelo de estudio para futuras erupciones y permiti a los cientficos comprender mejor los procesos volcnicos. A pesar de que la erupcin caus estragos en la vida de los habitantes de Parcutin, el volcn se ha convertido en una atraccin turstica y en un hito cientfico en la historia de Mxico.

El nacimiento del volcn Parcutin, llamado as por el pueblo en el que se form, al otro lado de en tarasco, se produjo en el municipio de Parangaricutiro, Michoacn. A las 16:30 horas del 20 de febrero de 1943, el volcn emergi del suelo despus de haber estado activo desde 1941, cuando se registr un terremoto en el estado.

Construccin de hotel del Tren Maya avanza sin permiso en una reserva forestal "IndyWatch Feed Noramerica"

La construccin repentina e inesperada de un hotel en medio de una reserva protegida en el sur de Mxico ha sorprendido a residentes de la regin y a muchos conservacionistas, que ahora tratan de saber cul ser la consecuencia ambiental de esto en una de las selvas tropicales ms grandes de Mesoamrica. La constructora inici en enero las obras del proyecto en la Reserva de la Bisfera de Calakmul, en el estado de Campeche. Esto dispar una gran preocupacin entre los residentes de la regin, debido a la deforestacin y al riesgo que corre la preservacin de la zona arqueolgica que se encuentra dentro del rea natural protegida. El hotel es parte del proyecto Tren Maya, una lnea de ferrocarril controvertida, que transportar turistas y carga a travs de la Pennsula de Yucatn y del sur de Mxico.

Haba rumores de que se construira un hotel y de que ya haba personas haciendo mediciones en un rea de construccin. Pero eran slo eso: rumores explica Carlos Mauricio Delgado Martnez, miembro de la organizacin no gubernamental Ocelot Working Group. Nadie saba bien lo que sucedera.

Delgado coment que estaba haciendo trabajo de campo cuando se top con obreros de la construccin que cortaban rboles en medio de la reserva, muy cerca de la zona arqueolgica mayas de Calakmul y de un pozo de agua importante que alimenta a la vida silvestre. Supuestamente, el hotel se ubicar en un terreno de 3 hectreas y tendr unas 150 habitaciones. Si bien el edificio estar, tcnicamente, dentro del terreno neutral de la reserva (donde se permite alguna construccin), tambin queda dentro de la zona designada por la UNESCO como Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 2002.

Los residentes informaron a Mongabay que se haba trasladado maquinaria pesada a la zona durante la noche. Y hay, en todo el permetro, personal de la Secretara de la Defensa Nacional (Sedena), el organismo que supervisa la construccin del proyecto Tren Maya, para impedir que las personas se acerquen o tomen fotografas.

Hay soldados en la zona arqueolgica, miembros de la guardia nacional indica Enrique Rodrguez Crdova, un gua turstico local. Ninguno de nosotros se anima a protestar en una manifestacin por miedo a lo que ellos puedan hacernos.

La Sedena no respondi al pedido de comentarios para este artculo.

Scientists Discover Mysterious Warm Liquid Spewing From Oregon Seafloor "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

The field of plate tectonics is relatively new, and researchers are still uncovering the intricacies of geologic faults that cause earthquakes. One such fault, the Cascadia Subduction Zone, is a potentially catastrophic offshore fault located in the Pacific Northwest that has yet to reveal all its secrets. Despite its eerie calmness, it is capable of producing a massive magnitude-9 quake.

A study led by the University of Washington discovered seeps of warm, chemically distinct liquid shooting up from the seafloor about 50 miles off Newport, Oregon. Their research, published in the journal Science Advances.

Science Advances is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal that is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). It was launched in 2015 and covers a wide range of topics in the natural sciences, including biology, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, materials science, and physics.

Things are getting extremely weird.

Edward Slavsquat Edwardslavsquat.substack.com April 21, 2023

Its been an eventful week in Russia.

In chronological order:

Prigozhin says war is being sabotaged by Russias Deep State

Wagner CEO Yevgeny Prigozhin published an article on April 14 in which he made the following claims:

The strategic role of Bakhmut is not so great. Bakhmut is followed by Seversk, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka and Chasov Yar [T]he capture of Bakhmut itself will not ensure a short-term victory over Ukraine, the road to the Dnieper, or even the capture of Donbass.
The US does not need a quick war. Washington wants to drag the conflict out as long as possible in order to destabilize Russia and collapse [it] into many principalities.
Russias Deep State, a community of near-state elites that operate independently of the political leadership of the state, is actively sabotaging the war effort.
To prevent the Deep State from making concessions to Washington, Russia should announce the successful completion of the special military operation and consolidate territorial gains.

To summarize: An oligarch who is spearheading Russias only discernable offensive in Ukraine says the war will continue for the foreseeable future, even if/when Bakhmut is captured. Meanwhile, a powerful group of oligarchs and bureaucrats want to negotiate a backdoor deal with Washington that would have disastrous consequences for Russia.

Shocking and outrageous claims? Only if youve been getting your war updates from YouTube.

Igor Strelkovs Club of Angry Patriots published a manifesto on April 17. A few highlights:

The opportunity for a quick and bloodless victory over the Ukrainian state, which has become a weapon of NATO, was missed back in 2014 by the signing of the treacherous Minsk agreements. The military operation launched in 2022 could have gone according to a completely different scenario, but mediocre organization at the strategic, operational and tactical level led our country to a war of attrition.
Defeat in the war will lead Russia to catastrophic consequences. The United States and NATO states do not hide their intentions to dismember the Russian Federation and bring the Russian people into submission under a new [Western] yoke.
The military-political leadership of Russia does not realize the gravity of the situation.

What makes this interesting is the location and the time. 3200 BC or almost a thousand years before the Great pyramid. this locality was a certain anchor point for the Bimini to Lewis sea route that had likely already started when this was built.

when we seriously look, we will find multiple sites on the coast from Georgia around to the mississipi and Lake Superior.

Yellow crazy ant males have two sets of DNA "IndyWatch Feed Africa"

Rather interesting to put it mildly. It can obviously mate with either type, but just how do you create more males with this? The doubling has to happen as well. I expect it is a challenge to explain.

I do think chimeras are way more common and normally simply not recognized. I think that the cheeta may well be a chimera lilely created by humanity in the distant past. They did not stop there at all.

Recall our special crops emerged handy to use around 10,000 years ago in several separate locales around the globe. This looks like a plan and possibly genetic manipulation as well. Just saying. Now is this ant useful in some way?

A small international team of molecular and evolutionary scientists has discovered that male yellow crazy ants (also known as long-legged ants) have two sets of DNA throughout their bodies. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes the unique find and discusses possible reasons for it. Daniel Kronauer with The Rockefeller University has published a Perspective piece in the same journal issue discussing the work by the team and suggests that the unique genetic feature of the ants may explain why they are such a successful invasive species.

Prior research has shown that yellow crazy ants, which are native to Asia and West Africa, have the ability to ada...

After Dinosaurs Went Extinct, These Ten Giant Creatures Roamed the Earth "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Giantism is wonderfully convenient for those that get there and it is obviously common enough. Yet it demands a stable environment for it to emerge and few actual individuals.

What has changed on land certainly has been the advent of humanity which is competing for the same food sources. Other events have also interfered, but competition stopped any rebound. And yes we did hunt some of those critters.

It is also possible that some of those giants are still extant such a giant snakes and crocs. Their environment has always been hostile to human entry and they would naturally have a large local exclusion zone.

Why atoms are the Universes greatest miracle and the Crystaline Aether "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Let us talk first about the Crystaline Aether. I have finally come to understand that the aether itself has three levels of scaling and that packing is both intense, but also wonderfully separated by scaling.

I also have been telling you that the first level consists of neutral neutrino pairs, naturally self assembling into Platonic Solids able to decay into charged particles whose largest member is the electron or positron. The bulk is still neutrasl and this allows packing..

The second tier of particles or matter consists of neutral electron pairs which also tend to pack wonderfully again using platonic solids. The largest packed product is also a platonic solid which we identify as a neutron or more properly as a neutral neutron pair.

what we identify as an atom is a decay product of the NNP and its assemblages. This has a huge effect on scaling.

Understand that the proton of a hydrogen represents about 4% of the impressed volume. What that also tells us that the NNP is actually scaled at the level of the the 4% core and that the rest is atomic space is likely filled with NNPs with whatever is their natural spacing. We have all understood empty space, but i now see packed NNPs unable to react with decayed particles.

All this passes through us without note or reaction. The big surprise is just how much the scaling matters.

Why atoms are the Universes greatest miracle

With a massive, charged nucleus orbited by tiny electrons, atoms are such simple objects. Miraculously, they make up everything we know.

Climate Scepticism on the Rise Throughout the World "IndyWatch Feed War"

Chris Morrison The Daily Sceptic April 21, 2023

Scepticism about human-caused climate change continues to increase around the world. A recent poll conducted by a group within the University of Chicago found that belief in humans causing all or most climate change had slumped in America to 49% from the 60% level recorded just five years ago. Similar falls have been recorded elsewhere, with a recent IPSOS survey covering two thirds of the worlds population revealing that nearly four people in every 10 believe climate change is mainly due to natural causes.

Perhaps the most surprising statistic from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) survey is that 70% of Americans are unwilling to spend more than $2.50 a week to combat climate change. Nearly four in 10 Americans said they were unwilling to pay a couple of dimes. Despite decades of relentless green doomsday agitprop designed to corral populations into living under a collectivist Net Zero-ordered society, it appears that the vast majority of Americans are unwilling to pay even the chump change in their back pockets to stop the climate changing.

Surveys such as EPIC and IPSOS speak to the fundamental flaw in the settled science surrounding the suggestion that humans burning fossil fuel are causing the climate to breakdown. The hypothesis is unproven not a single science paper provides conclusive proof. Natural causes and the proposition that carbon dioxide becomes saturated beyond certain atmospheric levels are more convincing explanations for scientific observations. Fears that mainstream climate science is heavily corrupted by faulty data, pseudoscientific modelling and outright political cherry-picking are becoming more widespread.

Interestingly, the recent overall fall in support for human-caused climate change in the U.S. is due to Democrats and Independents.

Abortion Medication Safe For Now, But Perhaps Not for Long "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

A Trump-appointed federal judge ordered the FDA to withdraw its decades-old approval of mifepristone nationwide on April 7. Mifepristone is used in more than 50% of abortions. On April 21, the Supreme Court issued a stay against any mifepristone bans or restrictions, sending the issue back to the Fifth Circuit. While this is seen as at least a temporary victory, defenders of reproductive justice rights say that the fight is far from over.

Former nurse describes hospital Covid-19 protocols as medical murder "IndyWatch Feed War"

Ethan Huff Natural News April 21, 2023

A former California nurse who was fired for refusing to get vaccinated for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is speaking out about the horrors she witnessed and endured while working throughout the pandemic.

Gail Macrae says she used to support organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Medical Association (AMA) prior to covid. What she saw and was ordered to do to patients as part of the governments official covid protocols, however, changed her views entirely.

Before being let go, Macrae worked in hospitals, including in the intensive care unit (ICU), as a nurse, and she is also a midwife. She was employed at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center from 2015 until 2021 when Operation Warp Speed was launched by the Trump administration.

Around the spring of 2020 when covid was really ramping up, Macrae started to notice anomalies between what the media was reporting and what was actually happening at her place of employment.

They were never full of patients, Macrae said about how her hospital was anything but overflowing like the fake news media was reporting at the time. As a matter of fact, from the onset of covid, for the whole first year of this pandemic not only was our hospital under capacity, but I was getting canceled.

(Related: Remember when Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Florida was caught trying to murder patients to inflate its covid numbers and make the pandemic seem scarier?)

How many other nurses were told to violate their morals by murdering patients with remdesivir and ventilators?

Macraes position at the hospital was per diem, meaning she was unable to create her own schedule and choose when to work. Oftentimes the hospital would cancel her shifts because there simply were not enough patients being admitted in need of care.

It turns out that this was the standard throughout the winter of 2020 as well, which is supposedly when covid cases were out of control. On just two occasions the hospital filled up with patients, but Macrae says this was not out of the ordinary for that time of year, covid or not.

The only thing that changed during this time is that Macrae and her colleagues were forced to tell patients families that they could not visit their loved ones, which she felt was violating her ethics and morals.

Macrae was also forced to administer deadly medications like remdesivir, which Tony Fauci directly profited from but that does not work to treat covid. Meanwhile, hospital staff wa...

US created Daesh terrorist group, senior politician admits "IndyWatch Feed War"

Press TV April 21, 2023

Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted that the US created Daesh, blaming Washington for crimes perpetrated by the terrorist group and influx of millions of refugees to Europe.

The police are corrupt. We created ISIS (Daesh). We drove two million refugees up into Europe and destabilized democracy for a generation in Europe. They called it Brexit, said the 69-year-old environmental lawyer, who is also a nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the son of his slain brother Robert F. Kennedy.

'We created ISIS'

IRNA News Agency (@IrnaEnglish) April 20, 2023

Kennedy is the first candidate from the ruling Democratic party to challenge fellow party member and 80-year-old US President Joe Biden, who has declared his intent to run again in 2024, although not officially yet.

The newest presidential hopeful lashed out at previous administrations in Washington for wasting eight trillion dollars on the US-led military invasion of Iraq.

My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and throughout my presidency, he said, will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country; to commoditize our children, our purple mountains majesty; to poison our children and our people with chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs; to strip-mine our assets; to hollow out the middle class and keep us in a constant state of war.

Back in August 2016, then Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump also accused standing US president at the time Barack Obama of founding the Daesh terrorist group.

In many respects, you know, they honor President Obama, Trump said during a raucous campaign rally outside Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is the founder of ISIS.

He repeated the allegation three more times for emphasis.

Trump has repeatedly accused former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of founding the infamous terrorist group, and said crooked Hillary Clinton was actually the groups co-founder.

In 2011, Clinton confessed in an interview with Fox News that the US created al-Qaeda in Afghanistan which it later invaded with the purported aim of destroying the terrorist group.

Bobby Steps Up "IndyWatch Feed War"

James Howard Kunstler Kunstler.com April 21, 2023

It is neither our position nor our circumstances that define us, according to the Stoics, but our response to those circumstances; when destiny crushes us, small heroic gestures of courage and service can bring us peace and fulfillment. In applying our shoulder to the stone, we give order to a chaotic universe. RFK, Jr.

Of course, Yahoo News, and all the rest of the in-the-tank news media greeted Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.s presidential announcement by branding him a noted-anti-vaxxer, as if thats a bad thing. Yes, noted, thank you very much. Reuters elaborated: Kennedy has been banned from YouTube and Instagram for spreading misinformation about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic. By now, whenever you see the agit-prop platitude spreading misinformation, does your brain not instantly translate that into telling the truth? And by now, does banishment from social media not tell you that certain guilty parties recognize a truth-teller when they see one?

Bobby Kennedy stepped up on Wednesday and gave a long and comprehensive speech so rich with historic resonance, intelligence, and flat-out bravery in the face of, lets face it, a Satanic opposition that he made every other figure in this land aspiring to high office within memory look like quality-control rejects from evolutions Homo sapiens assembly line. For 90-minutes in a Boston ballroom, RFK, Jr. told America the truth: that its entire matrix of leadership has laid one trip after another on our country going all the way back to the murders of his father and uncle, and he did it plainly, gently, humorously at times, but with an unmistakable gravitas and decorum that must scare the beJeezus out of the low life-forms currently running things.

Most of all, Bobby demonstrated that there is a way out of the bad-faith wilderness America has been lost in for years. He spoke to the audience in the ballroom, and to the country, in an adult conversational tone, without notes, as if he expected that voters would actually understand the problems we face: the wicked partnerships of corporations and governments to swindle and gaslight the public; the reckless military adventurism-for-profit campaign that has bankrupted the USA, now culminating in the Ukraine fiasco; the botched response to the Covid-19 episode and the chicanery that induced it; the insults to our ecosystem that are destroying the other organisms who live with us on this planet; and the financial chicanery that is driving America into inflation and bankruptcy. He reminded the nation of the good-faith efforts sixty years ago to end racial injustice which has lately turned into a series of dispiriting hustles to promote antagonism and separation.

Reporting Crime at Sirius Open Source "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Summary: The seriously rogue company, Sirius Open Source (it is not Open Source), has run out of time; with the doors closing and with evidence-gathering concluding, its time to face the music

MY earlier post hinted that this coming week, starting this weekend, we shall escalate a little, starting with a mini series about crimes of Sirius Open Source. These crimes started the very year I joined (2011), based on hard, verifiable (and already-verified) evidence. In parallel, special law-enforcing authorities in the UK shall be getting involved. Such involvement is imperative. The crime was committed by more than one person and several culprits are based in the United Kingdom.

As the title suggests, as before, none of the enablers and beneficiaries would speak about this. Their consistent approach boils down to hide, keep quiet, pretend not to exist. At this stage there is no other choice but to proceed with prosecution and arrest. Litigation isnt necessary, just as youd not sue a thief who broke into your house; you phone the police and report the crime. Weve already gathered the evidence for almost everything. It just took time, but it spares cops the typical excuses/stalling. The Pension Regulator isnt a cop; hence, it doesnt deal with crimes.

As noted several days ago, we got formal (written) letters confirming our allegations. We no longer explore draining out NOW: Pensions (bank details for withdrawal or cheque for us to pick up with paperwork signed) because after months of insistent reminders the company finally did the right thing and followed that up days later. Its just a blunder and a scandal that it took so long and involved them lying about half a dozen times (managers also). How many people out there, outside Sirius, are similarly scammed but arent aware of it. Probably a lot.

Sirius management does not wish to talk about it. When the special crime units phone them all up they will be forced to talk. Those who will face or accept unpleasant consequences did it to themselves. And they did that at great expense to other, innocent, unknowing people (this was covered by several external entities, including Standard Life).

Kodiak Robotics Will Haul Freight Autonomously for Tyson Foods "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Kodiak Robotics will haul freight autonomously for Tyson Foods:

Autonomous trucking startup Kodiak Robotics is partnering with truckload carrier C.R. England to autonomously ship Tyson Foods products between Dallas and San Antonio, Texas.

A human safety operator will be present in the one dedicated truck Kodiak is allocating to this pilot. Deliveries will begin this month, according to the company.

The pilot program is the latest in Kodiak's growing string of paid partnerships with major carriers, and it further demonstrates the startup's potential path to sustainability and even profitability once it removes the human safety driver from operations.

A spokesperson for Kodiak said the company aims to remove the safety operator within the next couple of years.

[...] Kodiak says the partnership is not only emblematic of how human-driven trucks and autonomous trucks can work together, but it also provides a use case for autonomy as a solution for moving perishable products in a timely manner.

[...] As part of the partnership, C.R. England is also joining Kodiak's Partner Development Program, which is Kodiak's way of working with carriers to help establish autonomous freight operations and, hopefully, integrate Kodiak's self-driving system into their fleet.

"Our intent is to be a 'one-stop shop' for customers, whether they need their freight moved autonomously or not," said England.

Agreement 25 Conference Key Takeaways "IndyWatch Feed Politics.eu"

Peter Lockhart is a law student at Queens

The Agreement 25 conference has helped cast Queens University, and by extension Northern Ireland, in an extraordinarily positive light. There was a tangible sincerity about the effort and care international actors have invested in this place. The following is my take on the key takeaways from the last three days.

Day 1

The highlight of the first day, and arguably the highlight of the entire conference, came in its first hour when Senator George Mitchell, in his first public appearance for three years due to a debilitating leukaemia diagnosis, gave a quite phenomenal speech. Despite much of its content simply recounting old memories, as he cast his mind back to those fraught negotiations in the 1990s and recounted the key players and their various roles, Mitchells speech was a testament to the power of great oratory. His speech was forthright, witty, vulnerable and highly personal, and as someone in the room it is hard to convey the profound effect his words had on the audience.

Many speakers afterwards noted the speech may indeed go down in history and though these are grand claims, it is easy to see why they have been made. Whilst its primary impact should be understood holistically, Mitchell made some oblique references to the current stalemate. The most notable was his allusion to what he called the hundred percenters, those in the talks who saw any compromise as weakness and therefore denied the essential essence of 1998, which of course was a function of compromise.

The DUP were charged with having a number of hundred percenters in their ranks by Mark Simpson during the party leaders panel the following day. It is perhaps understandable that they would rebuke this their members claim with some validity that it was their stubbornness which got the two main actors on the protocol, the EU and the UK government, back round the negotiating table. If it worked once, perhaps it will work again. My own sense is that this would be a misguided tactic, however understandable. The original protocol faced much opposition from within the Conservative Party as well as the DUP and other unionist parties, particularly from the once-influential ERG. That influence since lost, the Windsor Framework seems to be much more widely supported, as the parliamentary vote indicated, making it unlikely such a tactic could work a second time.

Day 2

There were more dry eyes in the house on the morning of the second day of the conference admittedly, as the theme turned from reflection to renewal. NI Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris speech will not go down in history, nor was it designed to, though it was highly significant as an...

Manhattan DA drops appeal after federal judge rules Jim Jordan can subpoena ex-prosecutor "IndyWatch Feed World"

Manhattan DA drops appeal after federal judge rules Jim Jordan can subpoena ex-prosecutor | 21 April 2023 | Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg dropped an appeal he filed after a federal judge ruled that an ex-prosecutor in his office can be subpoenaed by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). Bragg dropped the appeal Friday, after the parties came to an agreement on a testimony from former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz to the House Judiciary Committee. The agreement stipulates that a lawyer from Bragg's office will be present at the testimony who can make objections. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil rejected Bragg's request Wednesday asking for a temporary restraining order and injunction after Jordan issued a subpoena to Pomerantz. Bragg immediately appealed the ruling Wednesday and wanted a stay of the ruling.

Federal judge rules Jim Jordan can subpoena ex-Manhattan prosecutor who investigated Trump "IndyWatch Feed World"

Federal judge rules Jim Jordan can subpoena ex-Manhattan prosecutor who investigated Trump | 19 April 2023 | A federal judge ruled Wednesday that House Judiciary Committee Republicans can question a former Manhattan prosecutor about the criminal case against former President Trump, saying Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg does not have a legal basis to block the congressional subpoena. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil rejected Braggs request for a temporary restraining order and injunction after Chairman Jim Jordan issued a subpoena to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz last week. Bragg almost immediately appealed the ruling and sought a stay of the decision... The judge on Wednesday ruled that the subpoena was issued with a valid legislative purpose. "In our federalist system, elected state and federal actors sometimes engage in political dogfights," Vyskocil's filing states. "Bragg complains of political interference in the local DANY case, but Bragg does not operate outside of the political arena. Bragg is presumptively acting in good faith."

The Discord leaks: Justification to quash encrypted messaging? "IndyWatch Feed World"

On April 13, the FBI took 21-year-old Air National Guardsman Jake Teixiera into custody for posting top secret military documents on a private Discord chat group.

In early March, classified documents started popping up on a public Discord channel. They had originally been posted in a private, invitation-only chat group on Discord with a few dozen members in December 2022 or January 2023. At some point, one of the private group members started posting the classified documents to a public group. And once on the public group, the classified documents rapidly made their way around the internet. (source) This series of leaks provided evidence...

Before You sudo rm -rf /, Take Some Precautions "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

Maintaining or administering a computer system remotely is a common enough task these days, but its also something that can go sideways on you quickly if you arent careful. How many of us are guilty of executing a command, having it fail, and only then realizing that we werent connected to the correct computer at all? [Callan] occasionally has this issue as well, but in at least one instance, he deleted all of the contents of the wrong server by mistake. To avoid that mistake again, he uses color codes in the command line in a fairly unique way.

The solution at first seems straightforward enough. Since the terminal hes using allows for different colors to be displayed for the user and hostname on the bash prompt, different text and background colors are used for each server. The only problem with this is that his friends also have access to these servers, and one of them is red/green colorblind, which led to another near-catastrophic mix-up. To ensure no edge cases are missed, [Callan] built a script which runs on every new server he spins up which selects two random colors, checks that they contrast well with each other, dont create problems for the colorblind, and then applies them to the bash prompt.

How to Create Your Own Auto-GPT AI Agent "IndyWatch Feed Tech"

upstart writes:

Create an AI agent that works from a set of goals:

To get good output from ChatGPT or another LLM, you usually have to feed it several prompts. But what if you could just give your AI bot a set of fairly broad goals at the start of a session and then sit back while it generates its own set of tasks to fulfill those goals? That's the idea behind Auto-GPT, a new open-source tool that uses the OpenAI API (same LLM as ChatGPT) to prompt itself, based on your initial input.

We've already seen a number of Twitter users talk about how they are using Auto-GPT for everything from creating marketing plans to analyzing market data for investments to preparing topics for a podcast. Based on our hands-on experience, we can't say that it always works well (we asked it to write a Windows 11 how-to and the result was awful), but it's early days and some tasks may work better than others.

If you want to try Auto-GPT on your computer, it is easy to install, and while there are a few sticky points in the process, we've found ways to work with them, or around them to write this condensed guide on how to create your own Auto-GPT AI to help you in your goals.

[...] You may or may not need to add payment information to your OpenAI account. By default, the system will give you a certain amount of free credits. In Editor-in-Chief Avram Piltch's case, it was $18 worth of free credit that he was able to use without entering any payment methods. You may not get as much free credit or may need to add a payment method to your OpenAI account to proceed.

The article has a step-by-step guide for getting up and running on a Windows machine. If you choose to add a payment method, make sure put a limit on how much money it can charge.

Let the chaos begin!

The False Messaging on Vaccines Given to Pregnant Women "IndyWatch Feed War"

By David Bell | Brownstone Institute | April 19, 2023

The mRNA vaccines were released globally in early 2021 with the slogan safe and effective. Unusually for a new class of medicine, they were soon recommended by public health authorities for pregnant women.

By late 2021, working-age women, including those who were pregnant, were being thrown out of employment for not agreeing to be injected. Those who took the mRNA vaccines did so based on trust in health authorities the assumption being that they would not have been approved if the evidence was not absolutely clear. The role of regulatory agencies was to protect the public and, therefore, if they were approved, the vaccines were safe.

Recently, a lengthy vaccine evaluation report sponsored by Pfizer and submitted to the Australian regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) dated January 2021 was released under a Freedom of Information request.

The report contains significant new information that had been suppressed by the TGA and by Pfizer itself. Much of this relates directly to the issue of safety in pregnancy, and impacts on the fertility of women of child-bearing age. The whole report is important, but four key data points stand out;

The rapid decline in antibody and T cells in monkeys following second dose,
Biodistribution studies (previously released in 2021 through an FOI request in Japan)
Data on the impact of fertility outcomes for rats.
Data on fetal abnormalities in rats.

We focus on the last three items as, for the first point, it is enough to quote the report itself Antibodies and T cells in monkeys declined quickly over 5 weeks after the second dose of BNT162b2 (V9), raising concerns over long term immunity.

This point indicates that the regulators should have anticipated the rapid decline in efficacy and must have known at the outset that the initial two-dose course was unlikely to confer lasting immunity and would, therefore, require multiple repeat doses. This expectation of failure was recently highlighted by Dr Anthony Fauci, former director at the US NIH.

The three remaining items should be a major cause for alarm with the pharmaceutical regulatory system. The first, as revealed in 2021, involved biodistribution studies of the lipid nanoparticle carrier in rats, using a luciferase enzyme to substitute for the mRNA vaccine.

The study demonstrated that the vaccine will travel throughout the body after injection, and is found not only at the injection site, but in all organs...

How NATO corrupted the UN's Human Rights Council, to help drive a 'regime change' war against Iran "IndyWatch Feed World"

It is a defining feature of the contemporary era that the great power which has slaughtered millions in its invasions, proxy wars and sieges uses 'human rights' arguments as a weapon to advance or cover up its great crimes. It is a defining feature of the contemporary era that the great power which has slaughtered millions in its invasions, proxy wars, and sieges uses the 'human rights' arguments as a weapon to advance or cover up its great crimes. This acrobatic exercise involves a lot more than just the obvious double standards. In the case of the 'human rights' campaign against Iran, it has involved mass deception, the corruption of judicial principles, and the installation of deeply compromised political agents, posing as independent arbiters and pompous saviours.
