XRP, one of the prominent cryptocurrencies in the market, has
witnessed a remarkable surge in its daily burn rate, sparking
speculation about its potential to go on a bull rally.
Crypto analyst and influencer 24HRSCRYPTO is one of those who
have put forward an extremely optimistic outlook for the XRP
cryptocurrency. The analyst says that the altcoin, which is
currently trading below $1, will reach as high as $100, and has
provided reasons.
XRPs Daily Burn Rate Surges, Fueling Speculation of $100 Token
Value
24HRSCRYPTO unveiled an astonishing increase in XRPs burn rate
through a series of tweets that captivated the attention of the XRP
community.
The surge in XRPs daily burn rate has been a topic of great
interest within the crypto community. Just a month ago, the total
supply of XRP stood at 99,988,863,851. However, it has now dropped
to 99,988,616,835, indicating a reduction of 247,016 XRP.
THIS IS
HUGE! MASSIVE SPIKE IN DAILY BURN RATE 30 days
ago, #XRPs total supply was 99,988,863,851 today
the total supply is 99,988,616,835 (247,016 XRP burned and gone
forever in 30days) about 8,233 a day which goes perfectly with the
below 24HR burn rate. That number https://t.co/OipXjajMnx
With the total supply of XRP decreasing by 247,016 over the
course of just 30 days, equivalent to an average of approximately
8,233 XRP burned per day, the stage is set for a potential upward
trend that could lead to a significant appreciation in XRPs
value.
In comparison to the figures observed in previous months, the
recent 247,016 burned XRP represents a significant increase. This
development has prompted crypto enthusiasts to question the
potential for further growth and whether it could drive XRPs value
to unprecedented heights.
The increased burn rate and the subsequent reduction in XRPs

Thousands of miles of dense, lush jungle cover much of Central
America. The jungle hides many incredible creatures and
biodiversity, but it also obscures important human-made structures.
Beneath the greenery, hundreds of ruins of buildings built
by the ancient Maya and Olmec peoples have been discovered in
recent decades using modern technology. The use of light detection and ranging
(LiDAR) scanning technology to sweep digital eyes over
thousands of acres quickly, these sites emerge from landscape and
history. Most recently, Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology
and History (INAH) has announced the discovery of a
1,000-year-old Mayan city in the Balamk ecological reserve on the
Yucatn Peninsula.
The city was discovered with LiDAR in March 2023. The images
taken by the technology showed buildings as topography under the
jungle cover. Lead archaeologist of the project, Ivan prajc, set
about searching through the junglean incredible search covering an
area larger than the European country of Luxembourg. On the high
ground of a peninsula, the site spans over 123 acres with the
remains of large buildings, including pyramid ruins almost 50 feet
high. The site also has stairs, plazas, and many stone columns. In
honor of this last feature, the team named the site Ocomtn meaning
stone column in Yucatec Mayan.
The site dates to the Mayan Classical period, which lasted
approximately from 250 to 1,000 CE. During this period,...
Each time I return to Mexico I find myself
marveling at how many elements of daily life there could, in some
way, be described as Baroque: our sunsets, our cuisine, our
pollution, our corruption. Century after century, the country has
exhibited a great tendency towards exuberance, and a natural bent
for the strange and the marvelous. Theres a constant play between
veiling and unveiling (even in our newscasts, one senses indirect
meaning in everything), as well as a fluidity of form, in which
excess triumphs, every time, over restraint.
Three hundred years of colonial rule produced
an intense syncretism of indigenous and European cultures, a bold
new aesthetic accompanied by many new paradoxes, and these can be
glimpsed today in both lighter and darker manifestations, some
playful and others barbaric.
Mexican Baroque emerged from the conquest of
the New World, from the long, fraught process of negotiation and
subjugation that began to unfold once the Spaniards established
their rule in 1521. The European monarchs wanted as much gold as
their conquistadores could plunder, while their missionaries sought
to convert the pagan savages to Catholicism. The Aztecs of course
had their own gods, a monumental pantheon that included the fierce
and formidable Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli, yet these ancient
powers proved no match for colonial rapacity.
There was one pivotal overlap between the two
religions, however, a fortuitous convergence which helped ease the
transition from the Aztec cosmology to the Catholic faith. And this
was the theater of death present in both religions. Accustomed to
their own...
A guide to rekindling spiritual inspiration after betrayal and
disillusionment
Explains why we are drawn to charismatic leaders, what we
unconsciously give away to them, and how to reclaim our inner
spiritual authority
Explores how to recover from spiritual abuse or betrayal by a
teacher or group, including breaking free of denial, projection,
and dependency using psychology and shadow-work
Extends #MeToo into the spiritual domain and tells the stories of
contemporary clergy and spiritual leaders who acted out their
shadows in destructive ways, leaving their followers traumatized
and lost
Within each of us is a spiritual longing that prompts us to unite
with something greater than ourselves, to awaken to our unity with
all of life. Yet, no matter the spiritual path we choose, we
inevitably encounter our own shadow, those unconscious aspects of
ourselves that we suppress or deny, or the shadows of our teachers
and their secret desires about money, sex, and power. Meeting the
shadow can derail the journey, but, according to Connie Zweig,
Ph.D., we can learn to recover from loss of faith and move from
spiritual naivete to spiritual maturity.
Calling on us to expand our vision of religious and spiritual
lifeand our vision of awakeningto include the human shadow, Zweig
examines the yearning that sets us on the spiritual path, showing
how it can lead to ecstatic, transcendent experiences or to
terrible suffering by projecting it onto an authoritarian teacher,
priest, or guru who abuses power. She tells the stories of renowned
teachersSufi poet Rumi, Hindu master Ramakrishna, and Christian
saint Catherine of Sienawhose lives unfolded as they followed their
spiritual yearning. And she tells the cautionary tales of
contemporary teachers of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Catholicism, who
acted out their shadows in devastating ways, leaving their
followers traumatized and lost. She explains how meeting the shadow
is a painful but inevitable stage on the path to a more mature
spirituality. She describes how to use spiritual shadow-work to
separate from abusive teachers, reclaim inner spiritual authority,
and heal from betrayal.
With guidance for both inspired and disillusioned seekers, the
author explores how to navigate the narrow path through the
darkness toward the light, rekindle the flame of longing, and once
again engage in fulfilling spiritual practice.
Connie Zweig, Ph.D., a retired psychotherapist and former executive
editor at Jeremy P. Tarcher Publishing, is coauthor of Meeting the
Shadow and Romancing the Shadow and author of the bestseller The
Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul and a novel, A Moth
to the Flame: The Life of the Sufi Poet Rumi. She has been

AAVE, one of the most prominent DeFi tokens, has made a bright
start to July. The coin is experiencing a price rally, jumping by
more than 26% in the past week. Overall, the AAVE market seems to
be enjoying much attention as shown by recent high whale
activity.
AAVE Aims For $90 Again Price Action
AAVE has been on a positive run in the past few weeks. Since
reaching a yearly low of $50 in mid-June, the token has been on a
bullish course, which has seen its value rise by over 53%.
It is worth noting that the price of AAVE declined for a few
days after touching the $75 mark on June 26. This fall caused the
token to shed most of its price gain at the time. However, the DeFi
token appears to have fully recovered from this loss, with its
yearly high of $91.73 now in sight.
According to historical price data, there seems to be resistance
at the $80 price zone. So the AAVE token would need to overcome
this barrier in order to make its way to $90 again. If the coin
fails to break this threshold, it could experience a slight
retracement to find support at the $70 price level.
CoinGecko data shows that
AAVE currently trades at $75.81, losing more than 2% of its value
in the past 24 hours. This signals a waning buying pressure, which
could hamper the tokens chance of breaking the $80 resistance
zone.
Aave Freezes TUSD Reserve on V2 Ethereum Pool
On July 3, 2023, the Aave community executed a proposal to
freeze the TrueUSD (TUSD) reserve on the Aave V2 Ethereum pool.
This comes in response to the recent controversy surrounding the
stablecoin.
This proposal will prevent users
from depositing or borrowing TUSD on the Aave V2 Ethereum pool.
This AIP (Aave Improvement Proposal) is designed to take a
conservative approach to the TUSD situation, the proposal read.
TUSD jitters started after its technology partner Prime Trust
was rumored to have gone bankrupt. These issues were compounded
when the embattled Fintech company...
Taking the perfect selfie is not as easy as it may seem. While
some experiment with filters or editing, an influencer named
Liliana Madrigal has shared her
secret to get amazing self-portraits. Her tip to get the best
selfies? Taking a screenshot instead of an actual photo when using
the front-facing camera on your iPhone.
After getting many compliments and questions about her selfies,
Madrigal decided to reveal how she does it in a now-viral TikTok. I always get asked
how I take my selfies so Im going to show you because I do not [use
the camera], she says at the beginning of the clip.
In the video, Madrigal proceeds to take a regular selfie, but
strongly dislikes the result. Ugh! The quality always comes out so
bad, she exclaims. She then gives it another shot, but takes a
different approach. Rather than going for the shutter, she presses
the buttons on the side. What I do is I pose and instead of tapping
[the camera button] to take the picture, I screenshot, Madrigal
says.
Comparing the results, the influencer prefers the second one. I
just like how it comes out way better because the lighting is such
a difference, she says. And I dont know why our phones do this but
this [screenshotting] is the way around it. As a final touch, she
makes sure to crop the borders of the screenshotand voil,
the perfect selfie is ready to be posted.
Some users shared that they get a similar effect from taking a
video and taking a screenshot from there. Others have used the
occasion to critique the iPhone's picture quality. On the other
hand, some voiced their dislike at how detailed actual pictures
are. As a result,...

And the woman who wrote this story on Reddits Am I the

AITA for refusing to participate in my BFs familys

I went to Thanksgiving at my bfs familys house last night. I had

time meeting his more extended family. He said they make a whole
day of it, so we would be heading over around 10am.
When we arrived there were several men sitting in the living
room watching football. My bf introduced me to his brother, BIL,
uncles and some cousins. His dad was was also there.
There is a cooler in the middle of the room and my bf grabs a
beer and sits down to watch the game.
His mom and sister come in to say hi and his mom says perfect
timing! We are just getting going in the kitchen! Come on lets get
you a drink!
I go into the kitchen and there are several women in there. They

kind of food prep....
The ZIL token has seen a jump in its price over the last day in
anticipation of the latest Zilliqa network upgrade. According to
data by CoinMarketCap, ZIL
has now gained 10.13% in the last 24 hours, emerging as the top
gainer of the day.
Zilliqa Network Upgrade Now Underway
According to a tweet by Zilliqas
official Twitter handle, its mainnet network upgrade v9.2 has
commenced today, July 5, as scheduled. This network upgrade is
expected to introduce vital improvements to the Zilliqa network,
most notably increased interoperability between the Scilla the
platforms customized smart contract language and the Ethereum
Virtual Machine.
Furthermore, the upgrade will look to augment Zilliqas security
and functionality by extending support for third-party EVM
contracts and implementing full backward compatibility with all
existing Scilla (v0.13.3) contracts.
That said, as the Zilliqa network upgrade got closer, its native
token, ZIL, has experienced significant buying pressure in the last
few days.
Most notably, in the early hours of today, ZIL gained by 11%
moving from $0.0222 to hit a price of $0.0247 for the first time
since the first week of June. Following that price gain, the ZIL
token witnessed a slight price loss finding support at the $0.0237
price level and has since remained in that price zone.
At the time of writing, Zilliqa (ZIL) is exchanging hands at
$0.238, with a 0.10% decrease in the last hour. However, the tokens
daily trading volume is up by 189.83% and is valued at $83
million. With a total market cap value of $377 million,
Zilliqa is ranked as the 93rd biggest cryptocurrency.
Zilliqas Price Analysis
Looking at ZILs hourly chart, the Relative Strength Index shows
the token is descending from the overbought zone indicating the
bullish run may be over.
Furthermore, Ziliqas Moving Average Convergence Divergence
(MACD) is just about crossing the signal line, meaning a potential
incoming bearish run is on the horizon.
According to chart data, ZIL appears to have encountered a
resistance zone at the $0.0250 price mark. If the bulls are able to
increase the buying pressure and push ZIL past this barrier, the
token is expected to resume its upward price trajectory.
On this weeks episode of The Market Report, Cointelegraphs
resident expert discusses whether Bitcoin touching $31,000 is a
sign that the next bull run is right around the corner.

A recent development has caught the attention of on-chain
analysts and Bitcoin enthusiasts alike. On-chain expert Axel Adler
Jr, citing data from CryptoQuant, has revealed that wallets
belonging to the Humpback cohort, have reached a new all-time high
(ATH).
This surge has raised speculation about the involvement of
institutional giants such as BlackRock or Fidelity. Remarkably, not
only humpback but also shrimps are currently displaying a
historical high conviction.
The Phenomenon Of Bitcoin Humpback Wallets
The term Humpback refers to a specific cohort of wallets within
the cryptocurrency ecosystem that hold an impressive amount of
Bitcoin, surpassing the 5,000 BTC mark. The recent surge in these
wallets reaching an ATH indicates a significant level of
accumulation and activity within the crypto market.
According to Axel Adler Jr,
The number of wallets in the Humpback cohort with a balance of over
5,000 BTC has shown a new ATH. Is this BlackRock, Fidelity, or
other giants? The mystery surrounding the identity of these major
players has piqued curiosity and speculation about their
motivations and impact on the market.
From the on-chain data alone, it is not possible to determine
which entity commenced the accumulation of BTC. However, the
temporal connection with the ETF applications is striking.
Regardless of the actual entity, a whale accumulation can be
interpreted as a positive sign for the price. In this vein, expert
Will Clemente recently stated:
Even if Blackrock/Fidelity refile and the ETFs still get
rejected by Gary, the cat is out of the bag institutions want your
Bitcoin and are looking to get a piece of this market.

When you want to install a new app on your computer, where do
you get it from?
Deciding which source to use is a problem that's surprisingly
difficult to solve, but it's one that every computing platform
struggles with.
Before the internet was widespread, new software packages were
distributed on hard media, like CDs or Core, for example, you'd
need to buy it physically at the store or have it mailed to you.
You'd then load the disk or USB stick into your computer, and make
a copy of the new software onto your local disk.
As a developer writing code, you'd have to physically hand out
copies of your programs to friends and family. Or you'd work for a
large corporation that had relationships with companies and
computer stores, which would figure out how to get the software you
wrote distributed to their clients and customers.
With the advent of always-connected computers, the landscape of
software distribution forever changed. Now, instead of having to
physically pick up a copy of the bits in a program, you can easily
download a copy of it from the internet.
This made it much easier for new developers to write apps that
anyone can download. The problem now, however, is answering the
question: Where on the internet should users download the new
software from?
The Hacker's App Store
The way that mobile phone ecosystems solve the problem of new
application distribution is through a program on your phone called
the "App Store" (or the "Google Play store" on Android).
Developers upload the latest copy of their apps to either
Apple's or Google's servers. Those companies then send out a silent
notification to all of the phones that have the app installed, and
the app gets updated in the background on users' phones, without
the users involvement.
If you're a user and you want to add a new app to your phone, in
most cases you'll be able to find it in the App Store, and download
it from there.
But not all software is available as a mobile phone app. Some
software projects are desktop apps or tools that developers use to
write new pieces of software. These applications need a
distribution channel too. On desktop operating systems, we tend to
call the "App Store" software by the term "package managers." They
manage the packages of software that you download onto your
computer.
Modern package managers consist of a central server, sometimes
the app, and a client-side application which runs on the package
user's computer.

Lido (LDO), a prominent player in the decentralized finance
(DeFi) space, has emerged as a frontrunner in the rapidly expanding
Liquidity Staking Derivatives (LSD) sector.
Amidst the turbulence caused by the highly controversial lawsuit
filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June,
the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has found itself in a state
of uncertainty and caution.
This legal battle has prompted many projects to reevaluate their
strategies and has made investors more cautious in their
approach. However, even in this challenging climate, the LSD
space has managed to experience substantial growth and defy the
odds.
LSD Sectors Dominance And Lidos Remarkable
Performance
As per data from Messari, the LSD
sector has demonstrated significant dominance in the cryptocurrency
markets. One of the leading contributors to the sectors expansion
has been Lido, which has showcased impressive performance over
recent months.

APT, the native token of the Aptos Network, is currently making
market waves as it prepares for its upcoming token release in July.
According to data by CoinMarketCap, APT has gained by 10.14%
in the last 24 hours, emerging as part of the top gainers in todays
market.
Aptos Anticipates New Token Release
According to data from the token tracker
site Token Unlocks, 4.54 million APT tokens, valued at
$36.94 million, are scheduled to be released on July 12. This
upcoming token release will account for 2.17% of the total
circulating supply.
For investors familiar with the APT market, this is quite
normal, as the Aptos Network is programmed to unlock new tokens on
the 12th of each month.
These tokens are released to the Aptos Foundation as well as its
user community to support ecosystem projects, provide grants, and
push other community growth initiatives.
However, while APT is currently gaining, the effects of token
release on the market are unpredictable, as seen in previous times.
In January, APT witnessed a jump of over 50% following the
scheduled unlock but fell by 13% in February after the same event
occurred.
Following the launch of the Aptos Mainnet in October 2022, the
total supply of APT tokens stood at 1 billion. Of this amount, data
from Token Unlocks shows that 166.35 million APT tokens have been
unlocked so far, representing only 17% of the total supply.
APT Price Analysis
On Saturday, October 19, 2022, the Aptos (APT) token made an
impressive debut in the crypto market, reaching a market price of
$100.
However, this was followed by a sharp downturn as the price
plunged to the $3.5 level. Over the next three months, APT
gradually recovered and climbed to the $20.00 price zone, where it
was resisted.
Since then, the token has experienced an overall bearish trend
losing over 58% of its value to date.
Looking at the APT hourly chart, the tokens current price
movement suggests it has encountered a resistance zone at the price
level of $8.33.
If APT is able to break through this barrier, it will continue
its bullish momentum and possibly trade as high as $8.82, which
appears to be the next resistance zone.

The standard tour of Paris feels like a journey back through
time: the Eiffel Tower stands for the eighteen-eighties, the Arc de
Triomphe for the turn of the nineteenth century, Les Invalides for
the turn of the eighteenth century,
Notre-Dame for the mid-fourteenth century, Sainte-Chapelle for
the mid-thirteenth century, and so on. But of course, this is much
too simple a way of seeing it, since so many of Frances historical
landmarks have been repeatedly expanded, renovated, or modified
over the centuries. (The
Louvre, for example, boggles the mind with not just its sheer
scale, but also the span of eras embodied by its construction.)
Paris history also goes much deeper than many tourists imagine.
To discover it, they must go deeper in a literal sense, down into
the Crypte
Archeologique de lle de la Cit. Conveniently located right next
to Notre-Dame, this underground museum contains artifacts of the
city as it was 2,000 years ago, when it was a relatively modest
Gallo-Roman town called Lutetia, or in French, Lutce.
Stablecoins, the digital assets designed to maintain a stable
value, have long been viewed as a potential bridge between the
cryptocurrency world and the traditional financial industry.
However, recent developments have cast a shadow of uncertainty over
their perceived stability.
As global policymakers continue to grapple with concerns about
the crypto sectors impact on the established financial system, a
surprising twist occurred when stress in the US banking industry
reverberated throughout the stablecoin market.
According to Fitch
Ratings, the tightening of financial conditions, culminating in
the high-profile failures of several banks, notably including the
collapse of the esteemed Silicon Valley Bank, had a profound impact
on stablecoins.
Stablecoins: Market Shakeup
For instance, Fitch Ratings reports that the market
capitalization of USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin pegged to the US
dollar at a 1:1 ratio, experienced a sharp decline of over 25% in
the first quarter. Although the coins value remains depressed,
Fitch noted that it managed to recover its peg soon
after.
According to data from The Block,
the total supply of stablecoins has decreased from $138 billion at
the beginning of the year to $124 billion as of July 3. This
decline in supply further underscores the challenges faced by
stablecoins and their struggle to maintain stability amidst market
turbulence.
Significant volatility, shaken investor confidence, and
temporary but sharp de-pegging occurred in the stablecoin market in
March as shockwaves spread from traditional finance, Fitch
wrote.
Tether Bucks Trend
In contrast to USDC, Tether, another prominent stablecoin,
observed a 12% increase in its market capitalization during the
same period. Notably, Tether captured approximately 72% of USDCs
redemption volume, indicating a growing preference for Tether among
investors.

Cowichan Valley is a region around the Cowichan River and Cowichan

Sept. 5, 1908, caught my attention. Entitled, A Message From Mars,
it's so fascinating that it's worth quoting in its
entirety:

All of us have, at one time or another, been accused of not
seeing whats right in front of us. But as a close examination of
our biological visual system reveals, none of us can see whats
right in front of us. Our eyes have blind spots where the optic
nerve blocks part of the retina, says the narrator of the new animated
TED-Ed video above. When the visual cortex processes light into
coherent images, it fills in these blind spots with information
from the surrounding area. Occasionally we might notice a glitch,
but most of the time, were none the wiser. This absence of genuine
information in the very center of our vision has long circulated in
the standard set of fascinating facts.
Whats less well known is that these same neurological processes
have made the blind see or rather, theyve induced in the blind an
experience subjectively indistinguishable from seeing. Its just
that the things they see dont exist in reality.
After Bitcoin reached a new yearly high at $31,413, the buy side
has so far failed to initiate a trend-following move north.
Although the bulls fended off a sell-off last Friday in the wake of
the SECs perceived concerns over a Bitcoin spot ETF
approval, the momentum seems to be increasingly flattening, or isnt
it?
Whats Next For The Bitcoin Price?
As the market awaits an approval from the Security and Exchange
Commission (SEC) regarding a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund
(ETF), investors are seemingly exercising caution. While open
interest in the Bitcoin futures market continues to rise, activity
in the spot market has recently declined.
This shift indicates that price action in recent days has been
primarily influenced by futures traders. Analyst @52Skew noted on Twitter, $BTC Spot
CVDs & Delta: Quite a bit of spot still being dumped on the
market + no limit chasing today from coinbase buyers. Spot bid
liquidity $30.5K.
This observation underscores the reluctance of investors in the
spot market who may be waiting for a decisive move by the SEC.
However, it should be noted that US markets were closed yesterday
for the 4th of July holiday. Most recently, huge spot buying volume
came from Coinbase, pushing the market up. So today will be
interesting to watch if yesterdays retracement is bought today by
US investors.
Bitcoin dominance, which had risen to resistance at 52.15%, has
now consolidated somewhat, dropping to 51.25%. This consolidation,
combined with the entry of investors into the altcoin sector,
reinforces the prevailing wait-and-see attitude among
investors.
Analyzing the Bitcoin price, it is clear that the market is
currently facing strong resistance in the $31,300 to $31,416 range.
The support area at $30,700 is currently proving to be a critical
mark to watch. Holding above this support could give buyers the
opportunity to launch a renewed offense.

Optimism (OP), a prominent Layer 2 network, is experiencing a
noticeable decline in network activity as the hype surrounding meme
coins takes a dip. Once bustling with vibrant transactions and a
fervent community, Optimism now faces a subdued atmosphere as users
shift their attention away from these speculative assets.
The decrease in meme coin fervor has had a direct impact on the
overall engagement within the Optimism network, prompting questions
about its long-term viability and adaptability in an ever-changing
crypto landscape.
Can the Layer 2 network adapt to evolving market trends and
sustain its relevance in the face of shifting investor
preferences?
Declining OP Price And Network Activity Raise
Concerns
The price of OP on
CoinGecko is currently at $1.29, indicating a 4.3% decline in
the past 24 hours. However, despite this recent downturn, the coin
has managed to sustain a seven-day rally of 1.5%, suggesting
potential resilience and market support.
Nevertheless, Optimism, the Layer 2 network housing
decentralized exchanges (DEXes), has witnessed a significant
decrease in daily on-chain transaction volume, leading to a
concerning 59% decline over the past week.
A new OP price report reveals
a decline in network activity on the OP Mainnet since mid-June. The
number of unique wallet addresses involved in daily on-chain
transactions has exhibited a downward trend during this period.
As of July 2, there were 81,480 daily active addresses,
representing a 45% decrease over the past three weeks.

Being split up with someone and having kids requires a lot of
patience and a lot of compromise.
And, if youve ever had to spend time in that situation, you know that feelings can be
hurt easily and things can get UGLY.
But is this guy an a**hole for getting pets for his kids without
the approval of his ex?
Check out his story and see what you think.
AITA for buying my kids pets without the approval of my
ex?
Im divorced (6years) and remarried (2years). I have two sons
with my ex, 11m and 13m.
My wife has one son, 9m. My kids mom lives less than a mile
away. Its close enough for the kids to walk over, but far enough to
be separate space. My boys move back and forth between their moms
and my house usually once a week. Were flexible especially during
the summer because of travel, kid activities, etc. My wifes son
lives with us full time.
My wife and I have been talking with the kids about getting a
pet that they would personally be responsible for at our house.
This has been going on since December and we told the kids we would
pull the trigger on the pets when all of our summer travel was
done.
Since then, the kids have been excited about the prospect of
having their own pets. We asked them to research their chosen pet,
determine what its needs were and what kind of common health
problems that kind of pet could have and how to avoid them. The
kids all presented their reports and did an a...
Lets be clear about one thing...the cats name WILL
NOT BE CHANGED.
Uh ohthat doesnt sound too good, does it?
In fact, it sounds like theres some major drama going on
here.
Lets get all the facts below so we can see what the heck is
going on here.
AITA for not changing my cats name?
So I recently adopted a wonderful sweetie of a shelter cat named
Millie. Thats the name that the shelter gave her, I thought it it
suited her and she responds to it, so I didnt change it.
The other week, my pregnant cousin Carrie (who Im moderately
close to) posted a list of potential baby names on her social media
and Millie was on the list. I commented to remind her of my cats
name, and she DMed me to ask me to change Millies name because she
and her fianc really liked that name for their daughter.
I refused because my cat had her name first, and Carrie called
me selfish for valuing a stupid cat over her daughter. I told her
that my cat is not stupid, and that I wouldnt mind if her baby
shared a name with my cat, but if it was an issue for her, she
could choose a different name. She again called me selfish and said
she had to go.
I was feeling a bit conflicted, so I went to my sister (a mother
herself so I hoped shed offer some perspective) and she said that
she understands where I was coming from, but that babies should
come before pets. She said that it would be really kind of me to
change my cats name, and that she knows how important a couples

by Samuel Gregg , Ive often thought there is something
providential about the Declaration of Independence being drafted
and promulgated throughout the American Colonies the same year that
Adam Smiths book The Wealth of Nations was published. After all,
both texts were revolutionary, and both were fundamentally
concerned with protecting and promoting liberty. The Declaration of
Independence was very much concerned with political liberty, while
The Wealth of Nations was focused on economic freedom. But, as was
well understood at the time, economic liberty and political freedom
not only reinforce each other; the absence of one tends to weaken
the other. Its not coincidental, for example, that the declaration
lists several ways the Continental Congress believed Britain had
violated the colonists economic liberties.
Most of us know about the charge of taxation without
representation. But we should remember that the declaration also
accused King George III and the British Parliament of cutting off
our Trade with all parts of the world. Here, the declaration refers
to what were known as the Coercive Acts, one of which was the
Boston Port Act. Passed by the British Parliament on March 31,
1774, this measure closed Boston Harbor to imports and forbade
exports following the Boston Tea
Party in 1773. That famous event responded to the British
Parliaments effort to provide the East India Co. with tax
privileges that made it harder for colonial importers in the
competition to bring tea to the colonies. Its important to
recognize that American colonists already were trading extensively
through the world by the 1760s. Moreover, they were doing so far
beyond the confines of Britains extensive world empire. Rather than
being economically closed to the rest of the world,
America...
The Sackler family, the wealthy owners of Purdue
Pharma, will be shielded from future lawsuits related to the opioid
epidemic under a plan approved by a U.S. federal appeals
court.
Purdue Pharma, an American drug company, is seen by many observers
as having been largely responsible for the rise of the devastating
opioid drug crisis in the United States. After introducing
OxyContin, a powerful opioid painkiller, in 1996, the company
proceeded to market it aggressively claiming that it was supposedly
less addictive, less subject to abuse, and less likely to cause
narcotic side effects. Seduced by Purdue Pharmas deceptive
marketing, American doctors subsequently wrote huge numbers of
prescriptions for the drug. Tragically, between 1999 and 2020,
around 263,000 Americans are believed to have lost their lives as a
result of overdoses related to prescription opioid drugs. Court
filings suggest members of the notorious Sackler family, who own
Purdue Pharma, directed efforts to mislead doctors and patients
about the dangers of OxyContin. Now, however, in exchange for $6
billion that will apparently go towards funding treatments for
addiction, the Sacklers have been given immunity from future opioid
epidemic-related lawsuits. This will still reportedly leave them
with a collective fortune worth billions. Not surprisingly,
therefore, the outcome has left a sour taste in the mouths of many,
with campaigners continuing to call for criminal charges to be
brought against the family. With Americas deadly opioid
epidemic showing no sign of abating, senator and former
presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently called for the U.S.
Senate to hold drug companies to account. In a letter sent to senator
Lamar Alexander, chairman of the Committee on Health, Education,
Labor, and Pensions, Sanders requested a hearing focusing on
the role of pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors in
precipitatin...

We create ourselves. The sequence is suffering, insight, will,
action, change.
All that you touch you Change. All that you Change Changes you.
The only lasting truth is Change, Octavia Butler wrote
in her poetic insistence that God is Change. And yet, dragged by
the momentum of our lives, we ossify into identities and
habit-loops, harder and harder to reconfigure, more and more
haunted by
the paradox of personal transformation. If we are not careful
enough, not courageous enough, we may cease believing that change
is possible, thus relinquishing the deepest meaning of faith and of
freedom; we may forget what Virginia Woolf well knew: that
a self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.
How to remember this redemptive truth and live it is what the
psychoanalyst Allen Wheelis (October 23, 1915June
14, 2007) explores in his 1973 book How People Change (public library) a field guide to navigating
the landscape of the psyche when the theories with which we have
mapped the soul dont help.
Wheelis captures the universal undertow of our aching longing
for change:
Sometimes we suffer desperately, would do anything, try
anything, but are lost, see no way. We cast about, distract
ourselves, search, but find no connection between the misery we
feel and the way we live. The pain comes from nowhere, gives no
clue. We are bored, nothing has meaning; we become depressed. What
to do? How to live? Something is wrong but we cannot imagine
another way to live which would free us.
Throwaway. First language is not English but living in UK for 10

This is really creating problems in the house and my wife is
currently at my MILs house. My son did not leave his room for a
month except going to his therapist or to take his medications.
My son (21M) has returned to our hometown 5 months ago after 3
years failing at college also failing at various jobs he worked. He
was graduated as a valedictorian at high school and was accepted to
a really good college so it was a really bitter 3 years for all of
us watching him fail.
When he returned to the home, we gave him 2 months to rest and
then he started to work at my company as an intern. I thought it
would help him develop life and work skills because he did not work
until college due to really hectic school schedule.
In his first month he was doing OK but at the second month he
started deteriorating and he was really closed and only answered
when he was asked something specific,also he started to come late
and he was really looking dirty,also started to smell. His
colleagues were really disturbed and one of them asked me to bring

in your name that has gone unclaimed.
The woman said she watched a video from another TikTok user and
that she learned that people have been finding thousands of dollars
that they didnt know belonged to them.

Photography, like other forms of visual art, has a variety of
effects that allow you to express your creativity. One of the most
popular is called bokeh. This effect refers
to the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas of an image,
most commonly in the form of circles that dot a composition.
One of the easiest ways to imagine bokeh is by seeing city
lights from far away. In the distance, they look fuzzy, like
baubles of brightness. But the elements in the foreground are sharp
and in focus. This juxtaposition is an eye-pleasing one and makes a
scene feel cozy.
Now that you have a brief introduction to the bokeh effect,
learn about its different types and how to achieve it in your
photography.
Dramatic glacier cliffs, painted in craggy daubs of blue and
white, tower above the sea throughout Alexis Rockmans portentous

depicts one of two scenes: a historical arctic shipwreck, such as
the freight and passenger ship Ancons 1889 crash near Alaska, or an

portraying the ships impact with the ice or the glaciers runoff as
kinetic bursts of paint. The surprising...

Every year on this day, Frederick Douglasss fiery,
uncompromising 1852 speech, The Meaning of July
4th for the Negro, gets a new hearing, and takes on added
resonance in the context of contemporary politics. It has never
ceased to speak directly to those for whom the celebrations can
seem like a hollow mockery of freedom and independence. The
American holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of
Independencenext to the Constitution, the U.S.A.s most
cherished founding document, and a text, for all its rhetorical
elegance, which cannot escape the irony that it was written by a
slaveholder for an emerging slave nation.
Slavery had always been a contentious subject among the
colonists. And yet the American Revolution was a war waged for the
full freedom and enfranchisement of only a very few white men of
property. Not only were black people excluded from the nations
freedoms, but so too were conquered Native American nations, and in
great part, poor white men and women who could not votethough they
were not chained in perpetual servitude as human chattel, with
little hope of liberty for themselves or their descendants.
Noh is a traditional Japanese theater art with a legacy that
continues today. This form of classical dance-drama has been
performed since the 14th century and is still regularly practiced
today. It's often based on stories in traditional literature and
involves the supernatural, with masks as an integral part of the
performance. These wooden masks are artworks in their own right,
and artisans work to craft, and ultimately transform, them into
characters. Now, a fascinating documentary reveals
the involved process that artisan Mitsue Nakamura goes through to
carve and paint each mask.
Nakamura begins with a block of Japanese cypress and uses
cutting tools to form it into the masks rough shape. She then
refines and smooths its surface inch by inch, breaking and
chiseling the wood to form a nose, lips, and eyes. Its a meticulous
process that involves constant refinement until the mask is smooth
and ready to be painted.
With the wood carving complete, Nakamura applies coating and
lacquers to the Noh mask, continuing the tradition by mixing a
concoction that contains seashell powder and rice glue. Afterward,
she hand-blends pigments and takes care to blacken the teeth. This
practice is known as ohaguro, a custom that existed since
the Heian period in the 8th century.
You don't need to see the process to know that Noh masks are
incredible. But watching Nakamuraone of a growing number of female
artisanswork with such skill and care is awe-inspiring.
Solar chimneys harness the power of the sun to generate
electricity and provide natural ventilation and are proving to be
an effective way to reduce energy consumption and carbon
emissions.
The basic principle behind solar chimneys is the
greenhouse effect, where solar radiation is trapped and converted
into heat and this heat is used to create an updraft, or a flow of
air that rises through the chimney. As the warm air rises, it
creates a vacuum at the base of the chimney, which draws in cooler
air from the surrounding environment. This natural ventilation
process helps to regulate the temperature inside the building and
reduces the need for air conditioning and heating systems. By
incorporating a turbine at the base of the chimney, the updraft
created by the heated air can also be harnessed to generate
power.
One of the most notable examples of a solar chimney in
action is the Manzanares Solar Chimney in Spain, which was built in
the 1980s as a prototype for large-scale solar power generation.
The 195-meter-tall tower was equipped with a turbine that generated
electricity from the updraft created by the heated air.
Some people prefer the long, warm days of summer; others revel
in a crisp fall night. Either way, most people can agree that mild
weather is the most comfortableyou're not sweating but you're not
shivering either. With all the varied ecosystems that make up the
United States, it sounds like a daydream to get good weather
year-round without leaving the country. Or is it? Climatologist
Brian Brettschneider has conceived of a
year-long cross-country road trip where it's always a comfortable
70F.
Brettschneider first designed the road trip map in 2015. The
original version only featured a
single route starting in Brownsville, Texas, on January 1, before
heading northeast to be in Washington, D.C., by May and then
winding around from the north to lay low in Colorado for the
summer. The triumphant final stop was in San Diego on December 31.
I have been contacted numerous times over the years since from
people who want to bike or drive the trip. It has resonated with
people in a way I never imagined, he wrote on his blog.
The first map was map was based on the 19812010 climate normals
produced by the National Center for Environmental Information
(NCEI). As the 19912020 normals were released by NCEI in May 2021,
Brettschneider set out to update his map. Not only did he have some
very interesting findings, but he also added more routes to the
map. He created both interior and coastal routes, and even designed
a map with a road trip route that includes Alaska and Canada.
It might surprise people that as fast as the glo...
They say that all an old man has left is his
memories
Perhaps the illusions that he was ever free
The love lost that he shared so sweetly
Where are all those who were once family?
Beating myself up everyday
There doesn't seem to be another way
Like trying to keep the wolves at bay
Those dark silent hours when I pray,
Was life really just a colorful dream?
Always battling for your self esteem
Like hearing the trickle of a clear running stream
She looked so good in a pair of jeans,
All those holidays spent alone
No one on the other end of the telephone
Vague recollections of my home
Oh my, how the mind can roam,
You think this could never happen when you're
young
Why was she always so high strung?
Am I destined to be a hero unsung?
Bitter taste of tears on my tongue,
It's fourth of July time to celebrate
The accomplishments of patriots so great
Today we/re plagued by bitterness and hate
The growing power of an out of control state,
When I was a child watching fireworks with such
wonder
Firecrackers going off with such thun...

Marble has a long place in history. From sculptures to
architecture, it has been seen throughout timeoften as a white
material with a subtle swirl throughout. But there's a lot more to
marble than that. Marmor Soorten, or The Book of Marble, offers
a striking look at the different types that exist throughout the
world. First published by Dutch naturalist Jan Christiaan Sepp in
1776, this catalog features 570 varieties as depicted through
scientific illustrations and annotations. The tome was a large
undertaking to produce; The Book of Marble was released in
11 volumes and required 100 color plates to print.
Now, Taschen is bringing this Enlightenment-era book back to
life. The renowned publisher has printed the original text in its
entirety, paying homage to a time when the pursuit of learning
across 18th-century Europe was growing in popularity.
Taschen is adding one element to the book that wasn't in the
original. The reprint features new photography to showcase the
intricacies of marble samples. Together with hand-colored plates
that are arranged with painstaking precision, there's an artistic
bend to the scientific book. The samples look like small vignettes
of abstract art alongside an encyclopedic knowledge of
marble.
The Book of Marble is now available to order

As mentioned, my task for this morning was
murdering spiders. Mission accomplished, and now I feel
terrible.
It was a simple procedure. I put the vials of happy gamboling
spiders into the refrigerator to calm them down and numb them I
gave them about 15 minutes of chill. Then I went into each vial
with a paintbrush and teased them out, and they descended into a
tube of icy, pre-cooled alcohol, where they died within minutes.
Now their bodies are packed into a freezer, awaiting delivery to
the person who will chop them up.
The worst part was going through the assortment of spiders in
the colony and having to choose which ones would die.
You have to understand that this was the very first time Ive had
to kill an adult spider. Ive been wiping out embryos right and
left, and Ive had adults die of natural causes but actually
terminating their existence by my hand? Unpleasant. I like my
spiders lively and interesting. Im a biologist, not a
necrologist.

users regarding the foods they find appalling. In this article,
well delve into these ten American foods and explore why foreigners
might find them disgusting. Whether you agree or not, its
interesting to discover the stark contrasts in food preferences
across different cultures.
Root Beer: An Unusual Flavor Combination
Root beer, a popular carbonated soft drink in the United States, is
an acquired taste that often divides opinions, especially among
foreigners. Many Redditors and Quora users from other countries
find the flavor of root beer unusual and even off-putting. Some
describe it as a mix of licorice and wintergreen, which can be
jarring to those accustomed to different taste profiles. For
instance, a Redditor shared their cousins perspective from the
U.K., where root beer is not commonly consumed, explaining that the
combination of flavors in root beer seemed strange and unfamiliar.
This stark contrast in taste preferences highlights the diversity
of the global beverage landscape.

The past few days have favored altcoins with incredible gains.
Among the soaring coins is MakerDAOs governance token Maker (MKR).
MKR witnessed impressive price performance in the last seven days,
outpacing top cryptocurrencies with over a 48% price increase on
the weekly top gainers chart.
CoinMarketCap data
shows that Maker (MKR) price recorded a significant gain of 46.78%
among top gainers over the past 30 days. As of the time of writing,
the token has recorded a 24-hour price increase of
12.96%.
Makers Price Movement in The Past Week
Makers bullish price action attracted the attention of market
participants after climbing to over $1,000 from a price of $677
recorded on June 28. Although it recorded pullbacks here and there,
MKR price still saw massive rallies within the past
seven days.
The token price experienced a slight dip after trading at $704
on June 25. However, it recovered momentum and rose from $677.88 on
June 28 to $834 on June 30, a 21% increase from the June 28 opening
price. Maker rode a consistent bullish wave to its current
price of $1,032, with a 49% gain over the past seven
days.
Since the start of June, MKR has recorded two major price
rallies. From July 1, MKRs price surged 21%, rising above $830 from
$687 on June 30. MKR tokens valuation increased by 8% in the early
hours of July 3, bringing the price to $929.87, a 3-month high
since March.
The tokens trading volume has also spiked, suggesting increased
market activity and buying pressure. At press time, Makers trading
volume is at $117 million, with a 71.53% increase in the last day.
Maker saw a sharp spike in trading volume from June 28. The trading
volume went from $25 million to $126 million on June 30 before
dipping below $70 million.
However, data shows the bulls are back as the uptick in trading
volume resumed on July 3 and now stands at $125 million.
Moreover, the overall protocol performance has improved.
MakerDAO is in second place in DefiLlamas protocol
rankings. It is trailing behind Lido with a TVL of $6.205
billion. The protocol recorded a 24-hour decline of 0.92% and
a 1-month increase of 0.97%.
Abandoned materials find new life in Mark Olivers charming sculptures. The UK-based artist
upcycles everything from scrap metal to playing cards, carefully
assembling different parts together until he creates amazing
figurines that resemble fantastical insects.
This ongoing series, titled Litter Bugs, features
collage sculptures of various shapes and sizes. Oliver credits his
father's collection of electrical and engineering components for
inspiring his interest in layering different elements together.
Urban entomology is my post-modern bow of respect to the Victorian
tradition of insect collecting, where the decaying and disposed
ofthe litter of modernityis assembled to create an illusory
collage, he tells My Modern Met. I intend the work to fascinate
from a distance, and reveal humor and beautiful art upon closer
inspection.
While random on their own, these foraged parts work harmoniously
together to depict a fictional insect. Not only that but by
assembling these scraps into new works of art, Oliver is returning
litter to nature. My work creatively employs these inorganic found'
items to mimic delicate, organic forms, which (if genuine) might,
themselves, employ the instinct of mimicry or disguise, he adds.
Litter Bugs have been exhibited internationally and in
various galleries across the UK.
You can purchase available art via Oliver's online shop, and keep up to date
with his latest work by following him on Instagram.

We tend to leave the big brain thinking to others what do you
mean that comes as no surprise? but we do occasionally wonder if
were not just living in a giant simulation or similar.
Not very often, obviously, but just enough for us to shoehorn in
an intro to this question which DawsonD43 just asked over
on Reddit.
If it came out that we were 100% living in a simulation,
what would be the biggest indicator looking back?
And we mention it because it prompted no end of very funny and
clever and occasionally totally on-point replies. Plus quite a few
that left us totally baffled.
Weve read them all well, as many as our galactic overlords would
allow us to see and here are our favourites.

I used to work in a pharmacy, so I asked about a hundred people
for their name and DOB every day. A couple weeks into the job, I
mentioned to a coworker how I hadnt had a single customer with the
same birthday as me. Got 4 of them over the next two days. Marx0r
8.
The pens. I used to go to large corporate meetings a few times a
year. They gave out pens and notepads to everyone (as if I was
going to take notes).
I would take pens from empty seats and from coworkers and take
them home. A dozen at a time at least. This went on for years.
So where are the pens? There should be hundreds of them in my
home. I should be able to stand anywhere and look in any direction
and see a pen, but no. bishophicks

<p>Data from Santiment shows XRP and Cardano, among other
altcoins, may be the ones worth keeping an eye on in the coming
days.</p> <h2>Social Dominance Of Altcoins Like XRP
& Cardano Has Remained Low Recently
According to data from the analytics firm Santiment, Bitcoin is
seeing the greatest attention in the market right now, while some
of the alts arent being talked about that much. The indicator of
interest here is <a href=
"https://www.newsbtc.com/altcoin/internet-computer-icp-social-dominance-hits-top-in/"
rel="noopener" target="_blank">social dominance</a>, to
understand which the social volume needs to be looked at
first.</p> <p>The <a href=
"https://www.newsbtc.com/altcoin/xrp-ethereum-increased-social-talk-bitcoin-loses-interest/"
rel="noopener" target="_blank">social volume</a> is a
metric that measures the total amount of unique social media
posts/threads that are making mentions of a given asset or term. By
unique, whats meant here is that the indicator only counts these
posts once regardless of how many times they mention the term
(obviously, as long as they make at least one mention).</p>
<p>If the metric counted the pure number of mentions instead,
then a thread with a large number of mentions could raise the count
by itself, even if mentions may be low everywhere else on social
media. Thus, to obtain a more accurate representation of the trend
in the wider market, the social volume only considers unique
posts.</p> <p>Now, social dominance is an indicator
that compares the social volume of a given cryptocurrency with the
combined social volume of the top 100 assets (by market cap) in the
sector.</p> <p>Here is a chart that shows the trend in
the social dominance of the five largest coins in the market:
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB (BNB), XRP (XRP), and Cardano
(ADA):<img alt= "XRP, Cardano Social Dominance" class="alignnone
aligncenter" height="1802" src=
"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0ItSimaMAYJnBt?format=jpg&name=4096x4096"
width="2836"></p> <p>As displayed in the above
graph, the social dominance of Bitcoin has been high since the
rally started around the start of the year. The asset has been
leading the price surge in these last few months, so its not
particularly surprising that the interest in the cryptocurrency has
been elevated during this period.</p> <p>Discussions
around BTC on social media had been dropping slightly last month
when FUD had been going around in the market, but with the <a

Most of us are used to carrying our phones in our hands or in
our pockets at most hours of the day, but sometimes it's nice to
give your device a place to sit. At My Modern Met Store, we carry a
selection of unique smartphone holders that are as helpful as they
are decorative. This way you can watch videos, scroll, and read
while being hands-free.
The Bird Beechwood Phone Stand, for
instance, is a minimalistic helper that has been cleverly carved so
that the swoop of the bird's tail will hold any phone or tablet at
a slight angle. Simply prop your device on the back of the birdy
and enjoy browsing or streaming without worrying about your tech
falling over.
If you want your phone stand to have a more humorous touch,
Artori Design has you covered.
Their playful phone holders feature silhouettes of people who are
just as attached to their devices as we are. For example,
Chatty Patty, features a
black silhouette of a female figure who is sitting down and talking
on the phone. She kicks her feet up to make sure your phone stays
standing up. This way, you can continue using your device with
greater ease.
Scroll down to see more phone stands, and head over to My Modern Met Store when you're
ready to check out.

Creating and maintaining a strong, healthy romantic relationship
requires a tremendous amount of work, patience, and mutual
understanding. It involves continuously building trust and ensuring
both partners are respected. Nevertheless, there are instances when
these relationships can transform into toxic environments, often
due to manipulative tactics such as gaslighting.
Gaslighting, a troubling psychological phenomenon, typically
involves one or both partners using deceptive phrases during
everyday conversations or disagreements, gradually turning the
relationship toxic. As gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse,
awareness is paramount.
Understanding the Many Facets of Abuse
Abuse is not only physical harm. It can take several forms,
including emotional, verbal, mental, and financial. Recognizing the
different forms of abuse is crucial, especially since gaslighting
falls under the umbrella of emotional abuse. Gaslighting can deeply
affect an individuals mental health, self-esteem, and overall
well-being, leading to long-lasting negative impacts. Its therefore
crucial to understand the signs of gaslighting in order to protect
your mental well-being.
Gaslighting: The Insidious Art of Psychological
Manipulation
Gaslighting is an emotional abuse tactic where the abuser
deliberately causes the victim to question their own sanity or
perception of events. The manipulator often accomplishes this
through denial, shifting blame, or making the victim feel
responsible for the manipulators actions. This systematic
dismantling of a victims self-confidence can result in significant
emotional and psychological damage.
Methods of Gaslighting
Gaslighting can wreak havoc in a relationship, causing severe
emotional turmoil. The manipulator uses gaslighting phrases to
alter the narrative, casting themselves as harmless or blameless.
These phrases are often wielded as tools to exert control, with the
abuser using various manipulation techniques, such as countering,
stonewalling, diverting/blocking, denial/intentional forgetting,
and trivializing.

Seven institutional firms have filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF in
the U.S., including the worlds largest asset manager BlackRock,
driving optimism and higher Bitcoin prices.
The Solana (SOL) price is currently at a crucial turning point,
which will be of decisive importance for the coming weeks. If the
SOL bulls manage to leap above the currently most important
resistance, a rally of up to 40% could be on the cards. If the
bulls lose the upper hand, another plunge of up to 21% could be
imminent.
Crucial Moment For The SOL Price
An analysis of the 1-day chart using Fibonacci retracements
shows that the SOL price is at a pivotal point for the coming
weeks. At the time of writing, SOL was trading at $19.19, just
below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. So far, SOL bulls have
failed to break above this level at $19.72.
If successful, the price level above $21, at which SOL was
trading before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
classification of the Solana token was announced, would again be
within reach. A bit further up, the 200-day Exponential Moving
Average (EMA) awaits the SOL price at $22.05 an indicator often
described as a bull line that SOL investors have been unable to
break above since April 2022.
In this bullish scenario, the 200-day EMA can be considered as
the second most important challenge for SOL bulls. An upside break
could allow the price to rise to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement
level at $27.00, which also marked the year-to-date high,
potentially marking a 40% rally. At this level at the latest, a
preliminary pause in the rally is to be expected.
In a bearish case, SOL fails to capture the 38.2% Fibonacci
retracement level. In this case, a drop towards $15.30 is
conceivable, which would represent a price loss of around 21%.

A recent analysis by EuroMOMO, an organization entrusted with
official statistical data from European countries, revealed that
there was a direct correlation between the approval of Pfizers
Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine for kids and a
surge in excess deaths among children. It showed a staggering
63,060 percent surge in excess deaths among children aged zero to
14 by the 22nd week of 2023 from when
the vaccine had been given emergency
use authorization (EUA) by drug regulator European
Medicines Agency (EMA). The data covers 26 out of the 44
countries in Europe. A report by independent news outlet
Expose provided a chart that covered the period from
January 3 to March 27, 2022, and concluded a total number
of SARS-CoV-2 cases categorized by vaccination status and
age group in England. The data, extracted from the U.K. Health
Security Agency (UKHSA) Week 5, (page 43), Week 9 (page 41)
and Week 13 (page 41)
COVID-19 Vaccine Surveillance report painted a vivid picture of
the disconcerting reality, reported Expose. Another
revealing chart indicated the case rates per 100,000 people, also
segregated by vaccination status and age group in the country. The
chart showed an alarming disparity, with case rates skyrocketing
among the triple-vaccinated population in every age group. During
week 21 of 2021, EMA extended the EUA of Pfizers COVID-19
vaccine, first to
children aged 12 to 15 and later to the five
to 11 age group. From then on, a shocking rise in excess deaths

particularly great news. My feeling is that the second half of 2023
might be on par or even worse than 2022.
Greetings from Thoughtcriminal
231Js1736/23! Thats my official Thoughtcrime Case Number, which my
attorney needs to reference in all our official correspondence with
the New Normal Thoughtpolice. I think Im going to silk-screen it on
a T-shirt and wear it on my first day in Moabit
Criminal Court, the largest criminal court in Europe with 340
judges and 360 prosecutors. Thats right, the Berlin State
Prosecutors office is pursuing its criminal
investigation of me for allegedly disseminating propaganda, the
content of which is intended to further the aims of a former
National Socialist organization, which according to Germanys
Grundgesetz
could send me to prison for up to three years. My attorney wrote to
them and politely explained how ridiculous their investigation is
and why they should summarily drop the charges, but New Normal
Germany has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to Thoughtcrime,
especially Thoughtcrime involving any kind of Covid-denying
propaganda. The propaganda in question is these two Tweets.

When we think of solar power, we picture a field or a roof full
of glass panels churning out electricity. However, this is just a
more recent development in channeling the suns energy.
Most histories of solar
power will begin with stories regarding the use of
magnifying glasses and mirrors to make fire. From the first to
fourth centuries, the Romans began including large south-facing
windows in their famous bathhouses, optimizing the heat energy the
sun provided to heat the buildings.
However, this led to an interesting development. In the sixth
century, not only bathhouses but also many Roman houses and public
buildings trended toward having a sunroom. As such, the Justinian
Code actually enshrined sun rights so that each individual
would be guaranteed access to the sun. Once the government
enshrines access to the sun as a right, it is easy to compare sun
rights to Murray Rothbards hypothetical governments right to shoes:
The libertarian who wants to replace government by private
enterprises in the above areas is thus treated in the same way as
he would be if the government had, for various reasons, been
supplying shoes as a tax-financed monopoly from time immemorial. If
the government and only the government had a monopoly of the shoe
manufacturing and retailing business, how would most of the public
treat the libertarian who now came along to advocate that the
government get out of the shoe business and throw it open to
private enterprise? He would undoubtedly be treated as follows:
people would cry, How could you? You are opposed to the public, and
to poor people, wearing shoes! And who would
supply shoes to the public if the government got out of the
business? Tell us that! Be constructive! Its easy to be negative
and smart-alecky about government; but tell
us who would supply shoes? Which people? How
many shoe stores would be available in each city and town? How
would the shoe firms be capitalized? How many brands would there
be? What material would they use? What lasts? What would be the
pricing arrangements for shoes? Wouldnt regulation of the shoe
industry be needed to see to it that the product is sound? And who
would supply the poor with shoes? Suppose a poor person didnt have
the money to buy...

Coinbase, a prominent United States cryptocurrency exchange, has
recently witnessed an upswing in its COIN share prices. This surge
comes on the heels of the worlds largest asset manager, BlackRock,
choosing Coinbase as a surveillance partner for its re-filed
Bitcoin ETF application.
In the limelight of this crypto-mainstream finance crossover,
Coinbases shares have soared by a nearly 12% over the past day.
Nasdaq disclosed on July 3 that BlackRock, the eminent entity in
worldwide asset management, had updated its proposal for a spot
Bitcoin ETF, incorporating new specifics about a
surveillance-sharing agreement with Coinbase.
This news triggered a bullish response in the market, and
Coinbase shares skyrocketed, marking a significant day in the
crypto market landscape. The details in the application outline an
agreement between Nasdaq and Coinbase forged last month.
The pact, intended to supplement the exchanges market
surveillance program, provides Nasdaq access to spot BTC trade
data. The report revealed that should
BlackRocks Bitcoin ETF gain approval, Nasdaq expects to leverage
the data obtained from Coinbase in surveilling the trading.
Notably, the regulatory landscape around cryptocurrencies in the US
remains a hotbed of speculation and anticipation. While the
Security and Exchange Commission
(SEC) has granted approval to a number of futures-based ETFs, a
spot-based one, physically backed by the asset as opposed to CME
contracts, has not yet been given the green light.
Refiled
applications for multiple companies looking to launch spot BTC
funds emerged last week, facilitated by Cboe. This includes
Fidelity, WisdomTree, VanEck,
and Invesco, all of which
have listed Coinbase as a surveillance-sharing partner, further
amplifying Coinbases critical role in the process.

This is an opinion editorial by Jesse Shrader, the
co-founder and CEO of Amboss, a Lightning Network explorer and
analytics tool.
For years, you could basically only do two things on the Bitcoin
network: You could save BTC or you could spend it. Then,
a late 2021 privacy upgrade had the unintended consequence of
allowing data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain, resulting in
NFT-like inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens, both applying Ordinal
Theory for asset tracking.
The popularity of NFT-like Ordinal inscriptions and the
experimental BRC-20 token standard has
driven up transaction costs across the Bitcoin network. The
frothy demand for stamping limited block space with new data pushed
transaction costs so high that in May 2023, Binance twice
had to pause BTC withdrawals, a risky and undesirable step for
a global exchange. To help manage the transaction costs, Binance
announced it
would start using the Lightning Network a decentralized, Layer
2 network designed for fast transactions bypassing the underlying
Bitcoin blockchain to process BTC withdrawals.
While some argue that Bitcoin should stick to being digital
gold, I dont see it that way.
As a store of value, bitcoin will continue to provide a
trustless alternative to central banking; other uses of its
immutable blockchain dont diminish this function. On the contrary,
emergent uses of the Bitcoin blockchain will drive more efficient
use of the limited block space, leading to broad adoption of
Lightning Network as a scaling solution for bitcoin as a global
currency. The Lightning Networks growth will provide a trustless
alternative to centralized payment processors, expanding Bitcoins
utility.
Challenges Faced By BRC-20 Tokens
The BRC-20 token standard is extremely new
created in March 2023. If its name sounds familiar, thats
because its somewhat akin to
ERC-20 tokens such as Shiba Inu and MakerDAO that run atop the
Ethereum network. Whereas Bitcoin has traditionally been about
storing and transmitting value, BRC-20s allow for other assets to
be minted in an Ordinal inscription. Now, a slew of BRC-20s have
popped up for trading and speculation, many in the form of meme
tokens, from...

USDC experienced a notable decrease in its circulating supply
during the weekend, causing ripples of concern within the
cryptocurrency market. According to data from CoinGecko, the
stablecoins circulating supply dwindled by over 2%, falling from
$27.9 billion on June 30 to $27.3 billion in less than 48
hours.
This sudden drop has intensified existing worries regarding the
stability and long-term viability of stablecoins in the volatile
world of cryptocurrencies. Since the beginning of the year, the
total supply of USDC has exhibited a downward trajectory, plunging
by a staggering 38%.
This continuous decline raises questions about the underlying
factors contributing to the diminishing supply of USDC and its
potential impact on the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Declining Circulating Supply And Its Impact On USDCs
Price
The decrease in USDCs circulating supply
can have significant implications for its price and overall value.
As the supply of a stablecoin decreases, its scarcity may result in
increased demand from investors and traders. If the demand for USDC
remains steady or rises, the reduced supply could potentially push
its price higher, following the basic principles of supply and
demand economics.
However, this effect may not be linear, as other factors such as
market sentiment, regulatory developments, and the overall
performance of the broader cryptocurrency market can also influence
USDCs price movements.
Market Perception And Trust Concerns
The declining circulating supply of USDC might also trigger
questions regarding the underlying reasons behind the reduction.
Investors and users may question the transparency and credibility
of the stablecoins issuer or the overall health of its backing
reserves.
Any perceived lack of clarity or
uncertainty could lead to reduced trust in USDC, causing some
participants to seek alternative stablecoin options or ev...

At once totemic and automaton-like, the deities built in Studio
REBORN in Saigon are bound by mystique. The characters are scions
of the Vietnamese city, emerging from doors, windows, tabletops,
and abandoned architecture that Kumkum
Fernando collects, cleans, and repurposes as figurative
sculptures. While the found materials may have lost their original
paint or patterns, the artist faithfully honors this history, often
recreating motifs and color palettes reflected on the final
forms.
Born in Sri Lanka to an antique collector, Fernando incorporates
this background into his pieces, both through the act of scouring
construction sites, resale shops, and streetside trash bins for
wood and other items used in his practice and through adornment.
Many of his sculptures include elements of folkloric tales and
temple paintings that infuse the pieces with a spiritual, mythical
quality and reference Sri Lankan culture.
Fernandos latest body of work abandons the sleek, boldly vibrant
forms of recent years to instead focus on a gritty,
post-apocalyptic narrative. I started out by making notebooks and
toy cars using old Vietnamese building parts before transitioning
to glossy figurative pieces, he tells Colossal of his evolution. I
began to miss the textures and colors I used to work with. Thats

Is it just me, or has customer service gotten significantly
worse over the past few years since we all went through the horrors
of Covid?
You know Im right about this one!
And with Covid came a lot of changes in how we shop at stores,
some good and some bad. And it seems like some people arent too
crazy about self-checkout.
The guy who posted the video youre about to see on TikTok seemed
to be pretty miffed about the lack of open registers at a Walmart
store and he decided to talk to an employee about it.
The man said that customer service has gone away at Walmart and
that hell never spend any money there ever again.
He then proceeds to have a discussion with a Walmart employee
about his unhappiness with the situation and the employee handles
it the best way he can.
And here are just a few of the things people said in
response.

Given that position, one might think that psychiatry would
welcome a large review of the evidence on the topicthe largest and
most comprehensive ever conductedputting the supposed
anti-psychiatry propaganda to rest. Instead, the
reaction from psychiatry has been vitriolic against the
authors.
Now, researchers who have staked their financial future on the
serotonin theory have joined together to attempt a debunking of
that study. The only problem? Their concerns are extremely
technical, contradictory, and in some cases, outright false,
according to the original study authors. None of them provide solid
or consistent evidence for serotonins role in depression.
Indeed, the minor, paradoxical gripes by various critics,
including a pharma CEO, illuminate a picture of industry-funded
researchers clinging to a poorly supported, controversial, and
outdated theory that is nevertheless likely to help their marketing
of new drugs.
Responding to the criticism, the authors of the
original study write of the serotonin theory, No one believes it,
but no one wants to let it go, either.
The critics, and a response by the original authors of the
serotonin-debunking study, were published in Molecular
Psychiatry.
The authors of the original paper were Joanna Moncrieff, Ruth E.

In 1939, Igor
Stravinsky emigrated to the United States, first arriving in
New York City, before settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where
he delivered the Charles Eliot
Norton lectures at Harvard during the 1939-40 academic year.
While living in Boston, the composer conducted the Boston Symphony
and, on one famous occasion, he decided to conduct his
own arrangement of the The Star-Spangled Banner, which he made
out a desire to do my bit in these grievous times toward
fostering and preserving the spirit of patriotism in this country.
The date was January, 1944. And he was, of course, referring
to Americas role in World War II.
As you might expect, Stravinskys version on The
Star-Spangled Banner wasnt entirely conventional, seeing that
it added a dominant seventh chord to the arrangement. And the
Boston police, not exactly an organization with avant-garde
sensibilities, issued Stravinsky a warning, claiming there was a
law against tampering with the national anthem. (They were
misreading the statute.) Grudgingly, Stravinsky pulled it from the
bill.
PEPE has recently made a stunning comeback by surpassing its
local highs with a remarkable 20% weekly surge. This unexpected
turn of events have provided some relief to investors who thought
the frog-themed coin will never be able to get back on its feet
again.
What has propelled this sudden comeback, and what does it
signify for the future of this meme coin?
PEPE Maintains Bullish Pace As Open Interest
Rises
PEPE, currently priced at $0.00000185 according to CoinGecko, has recently experienced a
remarkable surge in its value. Over the course of 24 hours, the
asset witnessed a notable rally of 16%, and within the span of just
seven days, it soared by an impressive 20%.
Upon analyzing the OI (Open Interest) chart from Coinglass, it becomes
evident that the surge in PEPE prices was accompanied by a
simultaneous increase in Open Interest. This indicates that
speculators in the Futures market were not only convinced of a
bullish move but were also willing to bid on the asset, expressing
their confidence in its potential.
Furthermore, a PEPE price report
revealed that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) displayed bullish
momentum. Prior to the rally, PEPE came close to testing the 50%
retracement level at $0.00000135.
This observation suggests that the asset is likely to approach

In the world of financial markets, Bitcoin and crypto, fear and
uncertainty often dominate the headlines. Over the past few months,
there has been growing speculation about an impending recession and
the possibility of a major crash in risk assets. Theses such as
Bitcoin will rise to $40,000 and then crash are currently in
abundance.
While the majority of analysts expect a recessionary crash, with
the timing being hotly disputed, macro analyst Alex Krueger
presents a compelling
case for why such fears may be unfounded. In his research report,
Krger debunks prevalent bearish theses and sheds light on why he
remains bullish on risk assets, including Bitcoin and
cryptocurrencies.
1/ A recession is imminent, risk assets are
expensive, and stocks always bottom during deleveraging driven
recessions.
Is a major crash inevitable?
Not at all
In this research report we explore how prevalent bearish theses
are flawed and why we are bullish on risk assets. pic.twitter.com/6b456Pvz2l
Debunking Bearish Theses For Risk Assets Like Bitcoin
According to Krger, the upcoming recession, if any, has been one
of the most widely anticipated in history. This anticipation has
led to market participants and economic actors preparing
themselves, thereby reducing the probability and potential
magnitude of the recession. As Krger astutely points out, What
truly matters is not if data comes in positive or negative, but if
data comes in better or worse than what is priced in.
One flawed notion often associated with recessions is the belief
that risk assets must bottom out when a recession occurs. Krger
highlights the limited sample size of US recessions and provides a
counterexample from Germany, where the DAX has reached all-time
highs despite the country being in a recession. This serves as a
reminder that the relationship between recessions and risk assets
is not as straightforward as some might assume.
Valuations, another key aspect of market analysis, can be
subjective and dependent on various factors. The analyst emphasizes
that biases in data and timeframe selection can significantly
impact valuations. While some metrics might suggest overvaluation,
Krger suggests looking closer at fair pricing indicators, such as
the forward price-to-earnings ratio for the S&P 500 ex FAANG.
By taking a nuanced approach, investors can gain a more accurate
understanding of the market landscape.
Furthermore, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI)
presents a revolutionary opportunity. Krger highlights...

Being a trucker is not one of those jobs that I would think
could be micromanaged on some levels, but this story has me
thinking a little bit differently.
A female truck driver shared a video on TikTok where she talked
about how her employers installed surveillance measures that no
employee should have to endure.
As she puts it
I used to love this company because I knew that they have my
best interest at heart. However, that completely changed and went
out the window when they installed cameras into our trucks.
Now she seems to be pretty p**sed off about it, because the
cameras are only supposed to be on for a short period of time after
the truck shuts down.

The basic principle behind solar chimneys is the
greenhouse effect, where solar radiation is trapped and converted
into heat and this heat is used to create an updraft, or a flow of
air that rises through the chimney. As the warm air rises, it
creates a vacuum at the base of the chimney, which draws in cooler
air from the surrounding environment. This natural ventilation
process helps to regulate the temperature inside the building and
reduces the need for air conditioning and heating systems. By
incorporating a turbine at the base of the chimney, the updraft
created by the heated air can also be harnessed to generate
power.
One of the most notable examples of a solar chimney in
action is the Manzanares Solar Chimney in Spain, which was built in
the 1980s as a prototype for large-scale solar power generation.
The 195-meter-tall tower was equipped with a turbine that generated
electricity from the updraft created by the heated air.
Solar chimneys are also being integrated in...
