Older Japanese Couple Expresses Their Love Through Coordinating Outfits "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Older Japanese Couple Expresses Their Love Through Coordinating Outfits

Japanese Couple Wear Coordinating Outfits

Since 2016, Tsuyoshi and Tomi Seki (also known as bonpon511) have been dressing in chic coordinating outfits and sharing their fashion on Instagram. The Japanese couple has been married for 43 years and their deep connection to each other shows in the way they match shirts to dresses, jackets with sweaters, and much more. Now, their popular Instagram account has amassed over 900,000 followers who enjoy seeing what ensembles they put together next.

Tsuyoshi and Tomi have distinct fashion tastes, usually wearing outfits with bold prints and pops of color. So it's unsurprising that the couple actually met when they were at art school in Tokyo. Since then, their relationship blossomed and they had one daughter. It was she who helped them start their Instagram account to share their charming matching outfits.

The handle bonpon511 combines their childhood nicknames with the date of their wedding anniversary on May 11. Tsuyoshi and Tomi say that they have always had similar leanings when it comes to clothes. What they end up putting on is inspired by each other as well as where they're going that day. And although they appear extremely polished, the couple promises they only purchase pieces from inexpensive brands like Uniqlo.

Check out Tsuyoshi and Tomis matching outfits below and follow their style stories on Instagram.

XRP FUD Spikes, Will This Trigger A Price Reversal? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Data shows FUD related to XRP may be spreading on social media platforms right now, a sign that could potentially help the price reverse.

XRP Social Dominance Has Spiked While The Price Has Been Declining

According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, discussions around XRP have surged during the past day. The relevant indicator here is the social volume, which measures the total amount of unique social media text documents that are making mentions of a given cryptocurrency.

The social media text documents here refer to a collection of posts, threads, and other forms of text-based data sourced from major platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Telegram, and 4chan.

Since the metric only counts the unique number of such documents, it means that individual posts have the same weightage, regardless of how many times they mention the term (obviously, they will only be counted at all if they have at least one mention).

This restriction has the benefit that a few posts with a large number of mentions of the asset cant skew the social volume on their own. Thus, the indicator can provide us hints about the degree of discussion that a coin is receiving from the average social media users.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the XRP social volume over the past month:

XRP Social Volume

As displayed in the above graph, the XRP social volume has registered some high values during the past day or so. This would suggest that discussions around the cryptocurrency have become elevated in this period.

In the chart, data for another indicator, social dominance, is also shown. This metric tells us what percentage of the combined social volume of the top 100 cryptocurrencies (by market cap) is being contributed by any individual coin.

From the graph, its visible that the XRP social dominance has also observed a large spike recently. Naturally, this trend would suggest that the relative share of discussions on social media platforms related to this asset has gone up.

The implication here is that the latest social volume increase isnt due to a general uplift in talks related to the cryptocurrency sector, but rather due to an increased interest in XRP specifically (if it was otherwise, the social dominance wouldnt have changed too much even after...

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Breakout Alert: Potential 30% Rally Looming "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) price may be facing the most important moment this year, which could either push the price up another 30% or seal its stay in the bear market. For the SHIB bulls, now is the time to show their true strength.

To recall: earlier this year, SHIB experienced a furious rally of close to 100%. But since the yearly high on February 4, at $0.00001597, the Shiba Inu price has been in a descending trend channel, which has even pushed the price well below the yearly opening price at around $0.000008.

Over the past weekend, the long-awaited breakout from the descending trend channel took place. The Shiba Inu price broke above the top of the trend channel at $0.0000076 and managed to hold firm above this level on Sunday. However, some selling pressure can be observed today (Monday). A retest of the breakout from the trend channel is taking place.

Shiba Inu price

Based on this, it is now up to the SHIB bulls to confirm the trend and avoid a fakeout. If this fails, investors could quickly lose interest in Shiba Inu again and the price could fall towards the mid-range of the trend channel and the yearly low at $0.000006.

If the breakout is confirmed, however, resistance at $0.00000833 could become the first target. At this price level, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level is also located.

With the daily RSI currently sitting at 49, there is still much room left for an explosive move north which could send SHIB on a 30% rally towards the resistance area between $0.00000969 (200-day EMA) and $0.00000977 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement level), before the psychologically important level of $0.00001 is also within reach. At this point, a breather from a possible rally can be expected.

Bitcoin Is Winning The Regulatory Landscape And Bitcoin-Only Companies Will Too "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

This is an opinion editorial by Julian Liniger, the co-founder and CEO of Relai.

Bitcoin exists for a couple of reasons: As money that anyone, anywhere can use, and as a monetary good that is guaranteed not to be diluted or devalued by a central bank. But its also a piece of software that deliberately takes away the power of insiders no matter if those insiders are large miners or bitcoin whales.

What weve seen in the larger cryptocurrency space over principles. The fact that the U.S. Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC) is (finally) waking up to those shenanigans is something that was to be expected.

When Profit Trumped Common Sense

The pursuit of exponential profits with very little upfront investment of time, brain power or capital has not just helped crypto-token Ponzi schemes take off. It has allowed rent seekers like FTX, BlockFi, Luna, Celsius, Three Arrows Capital and countless Web3 projects to be perceived as innovations instead of just pure cash grabs.

While its a venture capitalists (VCs) job to put bets on what he or she believes will make money and shape the future of technology, the sheer audacity with which the crypto-Ponzi industrys insiders pushed their agendas in recent years has been unbelievable. We have read the stories of a former Coinbase manager sentenced to two years in prison for front-running its users, and we know that Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), one of the largest VC firms in the space, has shilled Ponzi schemes like Helium.

The marketing approach a16z has had for its projects was summed up by Cory Klippsten:

Most Bitcoiners that promote Bitcoin are just buying and holding as much as possible and people who love it the most are the people who never sell. Its kind of the exact opposite of what you see with the likes of a16z: full-frontal assault, marketing through all their channels, executing massive pumps after they bought a bunch of cheap Solana from the centralized team that controls it in the spring of 2021. They and all their VC friends were selling the top in late 2021, while claiming to the w......

Cardano Price Momentum Bid Fizzles Out Despite New Payment Feature "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Cardano is buzzing with excitement as one of its prominent community members, known as ADA Whale, unveils a groundbreaking decentralized payment service called Hydra Pay. 

This eagerly anticipated solution comes at a crucial moment for Cardanos native cryptocurrency, ADA, which has recently faced significant challenges following the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions classification of the token as a security.

In the midst of these regulatory challenges, ADA managed to defy the odds and soar with an impressive 11% gain, according to an ADA price report. However, as of the time of writing, the price of ADA has once again dipped into the red zone.

Steady Development Activity But Declining ADA Price Raises Concerns

Cardano, a prominent blockchain platform, is currently experiencing a slight setback as the price of ADA has shed 0.3% of its value in the past 24 hours, with a seven-day decline of 3.0%, according to data from Coingecko. As of now, ADA is valued at $0.285.

Despite the recent fluctuations in ADAs price, Cardanos development activity (see figure below) has remained stable throughout 2023, in stark contrast to the erratic swings witnessed in the latter half of 2022.

Compound (COMP) Rises By 11% Amidst General Bear Market "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

COMP, the native token of DeFi lending protocol Compound Finance, has drawn much attention following its positive price performance in the last day. According to data by CoinMarketCap, COMP has risen by 11.03% in the 24 hours, emerging as the top daily gainer of the market.

This price rise is quite significant, as COMP recorded some price drops in the last few days, which may have prompted concerns for its numerous investors after the tokens remarkable, bullish form in recent weeks. 

COMP To Break Key Resistance Level?

In the third week of June, COMP embarked on a stunning bullish run which saw the DeFi token gain over 125% to trade as high as $69.15 as of July 4.

Related Reading: Compound (COMP) Token Rallies Over 100% After CEO Quits Details

However, after attaining this price level, COMP came under significant selling pressure, losing over 9.63% of its market value in the last week before experiencing its recent price boost today. 

Looking at its 4-Hour Chart, its Relative Strength Index a tool for measuring the pace and variation of price movement is set at 53 but is currently ascending toward the overbought zone meaning the current price uptrend may last for a while.  

In tandem, the tokens Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line just crossed above the signal line, which is also interpreted as a bullish signal. 

Analyzing its price movement, COMP faces major resistance at the $70 price zone as the token has failed to break past this barrier twice in the last three weeks. 

However, if the market bulls are able to sustain the current buying pressure pushing past this price level, COMP is likely to resume its initial bullish trajectory.

If the token fails to break past the $70 price zone, however, it will likely fall and retest at the $50.00 price mark, which currently represents its imminent support level. 

At the time of writing, Compound (COMP) is trading at $58.62, with a 0.60% decline in the last hour. The tokens daily trading volume is valued at $136 million, having gained by 216.75%. 

COMP

General Crypto Market In Red

Amidst COMPs market gain, a majority of the crypto market is experiencing slight losses, with the total crypto market cap declining by 0.77% in the last 24 hours, according to data by CoinMarketCap. 

Bitcoin (BTC), the premier cryptocurrency and market leader, is down by 0.60%, while Ethereum (ETH) has also seen its market price drop by 0.56%.

Significant Surge: Large Shiba Inu Token Transactions Capture Spotlight "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Shiba Inu (SHIB), a cryptocurrency featuring an adorable dog-inspired logo, has witnessed a remarkable surge in large transactions. However, theres more to the recent surge than initially meets the eye. 

What is the driving force behind the significant increase in Shiba Inu transactions? Could this be indicative of a larger trend unfolding in the cryptocurrency space?

Amidst the noticeable surge in substantial SHIB transactions, it is crucial to acknowledge the significant outflows from prominent holders. This particular observation prompts us to question the underlying motives driving these transactions and the potential consequences they may have on the market.

Substantial Surge In SHIB Transactions

A remarkable surge in substantial Shiba Inu (SHIB) transactions has recently been reported. According to a SHIB price report, these transactions witnessed an astonishing spike, skyrocketing by an impressive 454% last Thursday.

Within the span of 24 hours, the cumulative number of these transactions reached an astounding 6.36 trillion tokens, translating into a substantial increase of $36.38 million in monetary terms.

Although there was a slight decrease in volume during the subsequent 24-hour period, the level remained significantly high. During the weekend, the recorded value settled at 4.49 trillion SHIB or $34.38 million. The ongoing enthusiasm and involvement in the Shiba Inu token indicate a consistent commitment to its engagement.

Shiba Inu: Market Response And Price Analysis

The surge in substantial SHIB transactions and the sustained interest and activity surrounding the Shiba Inu token raise questions about their potential impact on its price. While the reported increase in transactions reflects heightened market engagement, it does not directly indicate the direction of the SHIB price.

SHIB on CoinGecko is at $0.00000760. Over the past 24 hours, there has been a slight decline of 1.0% in its price, while the seven-day period has witnessed a marginal decrease of 0.2%.

Solana (SOL) Price Hits Key Resistance, Whats Next? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

In the fast-moving crypto world, one altcoin made particularly high waves last week: Solana. Within the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap, the SOL price recorded the second highest price increase within the last seven days with 8.5%. And the unexpected surge in price for many has catapulted the SOL token to arguably the most crucial resistance at the moment: the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA).

Looking at the 1-day chart, the Solana share price was able to break above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $19.71, as predicted in our last chart analysis, and subsequently crossed the psychologically important $20.00 mark. While the first attempt failed, the Solana bulls celebrated a resounding success in the second attempt.

Solana price

However, as predicted in our last price analysis, there was increased selling pressure at the 200-day EMA currently at $21.97, to which the bulls succumbed. Similar to the last week of June, a consolidation may now be needed first to reset the technical indicators. In mid-June, SOL posted a 26% rally, followed by a seven day consolidation (bull flag).

A similar scenario could be possible now. A retest of the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $19.71 could be on the table. Remarkably, the pressure on the bulls is huge as the Solana token has failed to break the 200-day EMA since April 2022. The most recent rejection occurred in April 2023, followed by a 44% crash.

However, the external circumstances in the crypto market are different now. Due to the hope for a Bitcoin spot ETF, new life has been breathed into the altcoin market as well. Solana, despite its strong fundamentals, has been hit particularly hard by the FTX drama and more recently the SECs declaration of it as a security. Accordingly, a recovery offers plenty of upside potential.

If the 200-day EMA breaks, th...

Can Modern-Day Italians Understand Latin? A Youtuber Puts It to the Test on the Streets of Rome "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Of all the Romance languages, none is more Romantic than Italian, at least in the sense that it has changed the least in its long descent from Latin to its current form. Whether the Italian spoken in recent centuries has a particularly close resemblance to Latin is another question, and one American Youtuber Luke Ranieri investigates on the streets of Rome itself in the video above. In order to find out whether modern-day Italians can understand ancient Latin, he approaches unsuspecting Romans and asks them for directions in that language, speaking it fluently and just as their ancestors would have back in the first century.

So, can Romans understand Latin? Yes, Ranieri concludes, but they dont always enjoy it. Most of the individuals he addresses claim that they cant understand him at first. But as the conversation continues in Latin on one side, Italian on the other it becomes clear that they can indeed figure out what he wants to know.

Litecoin (LTC) Price Weakens Below $100 As Bears Extend Their Grip "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Litecoin (LTC) has recently faced a significant decline in its price, with bears gaining momentum as it slumps below the crucial $100 mark. LTC, often referred to as the silver to Bitcoins gold, has been a favorite among investors seeking an alternative to the pioneer cryptocurrency.

The bearish momentum behind Litecoins decline raises questions about the factors driving this price slump and the potential implications for the broader cryptocurrency market. 

Will Litecoin be able to regain its strength and recover from this setback, or is there more downside ahead?

Bears Pull LTC Price Down

Litecoin is currently experiencing a downturn in its price, with CoinGecko reporting it at $93.52. This marks a significant decline of 4.5% within the last 24 hours and a substantial seven-day slump of 17.2%.

As the price slips below the crucial $100 mark, traders and investors are closely monitoring the situation and assessing the potential factors that could influence LTCs rebound.

The recent dip below $100 has sparked concerns among market participants, indicating that sellers might be gaining the upper hand.

Traders and investors are now paying close attention to the $90-$92 price range as a critical zone that could determine the outcome of the ongoing battle between the bulls and the bears. 

According to an LTC price report, if the price manages to hold above this level and the bulls can regain control, it could indicate a potential recovery for LTC.

However, a breach of this support zone may further fuel the bearish sentiment and lead to additional downward pressure on Litecoins price.

Insights And Technical Factors To Consider

To anticipate how Litecoin will rebound from this slump, traders and investors should closely examine various insights and technical factors. Factors such as trading volume, price patterns, and support/resistanc...

The Answer is Within You and Without You "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

The Answer is Within You and Without You

Rev. Kat Carroll

I was born in the late 50's at a time of post war turmoil and civil unrest. I had relatives in a war or returning from one. I even saw President JFK shot live on TV at 5 years old. It was a time of great chaos, much like we are experiencing now. Music began coming out to change the consciousness of youth. Some was anti-war, lots of songs focused on love, and some where quite spiritual. I have always been a fan of the Beatles but also Transcendental Meditation, mysticism and spirituality. It's clear to see the influence that Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had on the Fab Four in their music, especially for George Harrison and John Lennon. Meditation may have helped them to become even more creative. There are articles on the benefits of meditation - Below is a link to an article on multiple studies about the benefits of meditation. Meditation and Prayer to Heal the World There was something that struck me with the song Within You Without You. Enough to make me want to produce a new video to go with his message.  In it's making, I realized how we have many of the same problems, but with new players.  However, this time, more people are aware of the corruption and the problems due to the internet. With enough people focusing on peace, we can change the world. This is a bit of a political expose and artistic endeavor.  I hope you enjoy this song brought up to date with world events of the 21st Century.  But you'll also see, that despite the turmoil, peace can be found, within you and without you. Whatever the problem, love is the answer. https://www.bitchute.com/video/AAOOkaqktNLl/   rkc

Ethereum Price Prints Bearish Technical Pattern, Why It Could Revisit $1,800 "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

  • There was a break below a contracting triangle with support near $30,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

Bitcoin Price Shows Bearish Signs

It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $31,630 swing high to the $29,868 low.

Resetting the Great Reset: Dutch WEF Government Falls, Populists to Gain in Fall Elections "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

By Richard Abelson, The Dutch government collapsed Friday amid disagreement over how to deal with illegal migrants flooding the country. The populist opposition looks to make significant gains when elections are held in Fall. RINO Prime Minister Mark Rutte (Peoples Party VVD) tendered his resignation to King Willem-Alexander in The Hague and discussed forming a caretaker administration until new elections can be held, presumably around November. The King had to return to Holland from his vacation in Greece to accept the resignation. Massive protests by Dutch farmers against government efforts to abolish artificial fertilizer in the name of climate have rocked the tiny nation of 17.5 million, which is the world second-largest agricultural exporter after the United States. RINO PM Mark Rutte is a member of the World Economic Forum and made the Netherlands headquarters of the WEF Food Innovation Hub which has destroyed countries like Sri Lanka. The collapse of the government comes as asylum applications to the country increased by a third in 2022 to 46,000 and projections expect over 70,000 more to come this year, Breitbart wrote. The issue of mass migration has come to the fore of Dutch politics as the countrys infrastructure was stretched so thin that last year many migrants were forced to sleep outdoors as a result of lack of accommodation, as has been seen in many other European countries in recent years. In a historic upset, the newly-founded Farmers Movement (BoerBurgerBeweging  BBB...

A step too far "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

by Dr. Michael L. Brown,
Most of the Americans who are pushing back today against the over-the-top celebration of homosexuality, lesbianism, and transgenderism (or worse) have been extremely tolerant and quite patient for many years. But now they are saying enough is enough.

For many years I have been saying that LGBTQ+ activists will overplay their hand, resulting in a moral and cultural revolution in the opposite direction. The May 31 headline story on Drudge Report, War on Pride, replete with a No graphic to two men, says it all. The accompanying headlines read, Anti-Target Rap Tops iTunes; Revolt on Chick-Fil-A; Bud Light Sales Down 30%; Gays Leaving Florida.

Drudge also could have added some of the backlash to the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrating the Catholic-mocking Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the list (see image above). This was yet another step too far.

The pushback is accelerating, and for good reason.

Of course, to those (or to you) who identify as LGBTQ+ (and to LGBTQ+ allies), all this is the latest manifestation of hatred and bigotry, and people like me are leading the homophobic, biphobic, transphobic charge. We are haters and bigots in your eyes, narrow-minded, uncaring, religious fundamentalists, moral hypocrites who are obsessed with people who do not conform to our norm.

Yes, I get it. And yes, it grieves me that millions of Americans who get up in the morning and go to work and school and take care of their families everyday people living normal lives will feel hurt and personally attacked by the very pushback that I celebrate. That gives me no joy or sense of triumph.

But thats the whole point.

It is not bigotry or hatred that drives me (and others of like mind). It is the incessant, unavoidable, ever-increasing attack on our most basic human values that drives us:

He Got Mad at His Family When They Called His Fiance His Second Wife. Is He Wrong? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

AITASecondWife He Got Mad at His Family When They Called His Fiance His Second Wife. Is He Wrong?

Man, some people just dont know when they take things too far

And thats never a good thing when a new person is about to join the clan!

So is this guy wrong for lashing out at his family for what they said about his fiance?

Read on and see what he had to say.

AITA for lashing out at my family for calling my fiance my second wife?

Years ago, I was married to a close friend. We were roommates, adopted a dog together, and lived together since college until our mid/late twenties (married at 24 and 25).

However, we were never actually romantically involved. She was not interested in marriage and also questioning her sexuality at the time, but her family was ultra-traditional (and messy for many other reasons) and kept pushing for her to settle down.

I had just gotten out of a rough long term relationship, and we kind of just both said fuck it, we basically were kind of living like a married couple, lets get married for convenience. So we did the paperwork for it, but we never had a wedding. We were also never romantically involved. She just was not my type and I was not hers. My family knew she wasnt my wife in the traditional sense (they did HEAVILY disapprove though).

When I started getting back into the dating scene, we split up and legally divorced. She remains one of my close friends to this very day, and I care for her a lot. Its been a few years, and I am now 32 wi...

Another Story of Disaffected Young Women "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Andy Warhol once wrote that his great unfulfilled ambition was to have a regular television program, which hed call Nothing Special. His dream show never aired, but the Irish writer Nicole Flattery still borrowed its name for her debut novel, which is set largely in Warhols Factory in 1966. In a February conversation with the Irish Times, Flattery admitted that calling her novel Nothing Special may have been setting myself up for critics in a very bad way which isnt wholly wrong. Nothing Special is an enjoyable novel, astute and at times propulsive, but it is not a special one. In fact, despite being set in a place and moment that transformed art history, its a contemporary story like many others: that of a disaffected young woman trying halfheartedly to sort out her life.

Disaffected young women were the primary subjects of Flatterys 2018 story collection Show Them a Good Time, which is set in present-day Ireland. It earned significant acclaim, and rightly: In it, Flatterys prose is knife-sharp, displaying her keen eye for the sorts of ugliness that often go unremarked. Nothing Special is similarly interested in the brutal and banal. Mae, its protagonist, is a high-school dropout based loosely on one of the girls who, in real life, ty...

This Harvard Professor Believes Hes Found Pieces Of Alien Technology In The Waters Off Of Papua New Guinea "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

Avi Loeb, a professor at Harvard, is certain that he has identified possible relics of extraterrestrial technology in the debris of a meteor that crashed into the seas off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2014.

The materials have recently been transported back to Harvard by Loeb and his colleagues for further examination. The United States Space Command is able to establish with an almost unshakeable confidence level of 99.999% that it originated from another solar system. The government provided Loeb with a radial distance of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) around the possible landing site.

That is where the fireball took place, and the government detected it from the Department of Defense. Its a very big area the size of Boston, so we wanted to pin it down, said Loeb, We figured the distance of the fireball based off the time delay between the arrival of blast wave, the boom of explosion, and the light that arrived quickly.

Because of their calculations, they were able to plot out a possible course for the meteor. The results of their computations carved a course that occurred to pass exactly across the ten kilometer range that was predicted by the United States government.

Loeb and his team traveled to the location in a vessel known as the Silver Star. The ship made a number of laps both along and around the course that had been forecast for it. The researchers explored the ocean bottom using a sled that was loaded with magnets and was attached to their boat.

We found ten spherules. These are almost perfect spheres, or metallic marbles. When you look at them through a microscope, they look very distinct from the background, explained Loeb, They have colors of gold, blue, brown and some of them resemble a miniature of the Earth.

Their examination of the spherules composition revealed that they are co...

So Im a huge Beyonc fan and have been my whole life, especially being a Houston, Tx native. This was my first time being able to afford a ticket to her show and Im currently living back and forth between Sweden and the states.

Ive never been to a concert in Sweden and I was very shocked by how unlively the crowd was. No dancing or singing really from most people in my section (closest non GA to the stage) but I was out of my seat, singing and having a blast as soon as the show started and a woman and her partner behind me asked me if I could sit down so they could be able see.

I assumed since she was starting the show with ballads I was doing a bit much and apologized and sat. But once the energy picked back up I was back up on my feet dancing. There were like two other people on my row doing the same. I honestly had the time of my life and even cried a bit, ridiculous I know.

When the show was over and I turned to leave the lady said Youre not the only one who paid for this you know? Is that how they act in your village? And I was too stunned to say anything back.

Learn About J.C. Leyendecker, the Illustrator Who Defined Mens Style in the Early 20th Century

ARROW COLLARS - 1909

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, illustrators were celebrities. They were household names. It might sound strange today, but consider an illustrator's role in society; this was before photographs were routinely used in magazines and newspapers, so illustrators were the ones who helped define the visual culture at that time. Of the illustrators with immense cultural influence, J.C. Leyendecker was at the top.

Leyendecker had a distinctive style with exquisite attention to detail and a knack for capturing the essence of his subjects. His work for advertising and the covers of Colliers Weekly and The Saturday Evening Post made him a household name. Leyendeckers compelling characters, who were sophisticated and good-looking, also made him synonymous with style and elegance.

Read on to learn more about Leyendecker and how his work continues to influence us today.

These Ancient Bird Bone Flutes Mimic Ancient Bird Song

The 12,000-year-old bird bone flutes recently discovered. (Photo: Davin et al., 2023)

Researchers in Israel found a deposit of ancient bird bones clearly collected by people from 12,000 years ago. The 1,100 bones were discovered in the Hula Valley in Israel, forming a fascinating collection. Yet within these relics lay several carefully carved little surprises. Seven of these bird bones were crafted into flutes by the Natufians, a people who lived in the Levant region from 13,000 and 9,700 BCE. As described in Scientific Reports, researchers were able to identify and even replicate the bone flutes, which may have once been used to lure the birds of prey by mimicking their sounds.

The bone-crafted flutes bear the telltale mouth and finger holes of wind instruments like flutes. Interestingly, the ancient sculptors chose small bones from Eurasian teal and Eurasian coot birds. This size allowed the flutes to replicate the tones of the kestrel and the sparrowhawk, birds of prey that once lived in the region. Technically and expertly made, it is believed that the flutes were painted and worn around the neck. Additionally, they may have been hunting aidsluring the birds which the Natufians were known to eat. However, it is also possible that the flutes were purely ceremonial, but wear and tear on the artifacts indicates that they were once played. Regardless, the 12,000-year-old flutes are some of the oldest bird-mimicking instruments ever discovered.

The flutes are a particularly pivotal find for the Near East and an especially exciting opportunity for researchers. Replicas were created to hear the flute sounds. It was very moving when I played it for the first time and heard the sound that Natufians made 12,000 years ago, lead author Laurent Davin, of the French Research Center in Jerusalem, told ...

Creative Band Plays Music Using Vintage Typewriters as Musical Instruments "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

Creative Band Plays Music Using Vintage Typewriters as Musical Instruments

A group of men type on vintage typewriters to make music

Photo: Screenshot from YouTube

Mechanical typewriters may be a thing of the past, but the art world has found varied alternative uses for the antiquated devices. We've seen an artist recreate famous paintings by using only the characters found on a keyboard. We've also seen more experimental approaches like typewriters being taken apart and reassembled into movable bird sculptures. Now, this vintage tool is being utilized beyond visual arts. A band known as Boston Typewriter Orchestra creates songs using these antique machines as musical instruments.

The band recorded the song Left Blank on video and submitted it to the NPR Tiny Desk Contest. We only do desk concerts. C'mon, this is a no-brainer, they wrote in the video description. Although they didn't win, they've surely made an impression with their experimental sound. According to their Bandcamp page, Boston Typewriter Orchestra describes itself as a collective endeavor which engages in rhythmic typewriter manipulation combined with elements of performance, comedy, and satire. The outcome is a hair-raising industrial sound that might as well soundtrack a workplace thriller like Severance.

So, how does this collective use typewriters as musical instruments? While the sounds of typing may seem monotone, the band knows how to exploit the physicality of their tools. In fact, the inner mechanisms of the machines almost double as a bass, while their strong typing becomes a percussion that takes center stage. The result is something...

Are You Really Vitamin D Deficient? 4 Things to Consider "IndyWatch Feed Health"

Taking vitamin D in Western culture has quickly become an if some is good, more is better game of taking chances on mega-dose supplements.

But there are problems. Major problems, that no-one is talking about. Till now.

Problem #1 The deficiency ranges:

What even classifies vitamin D deficiency? The answer varies, in short, It depends on who you talk to. Some of the biggest authorities wildly disagree:

The Vitamin D Council definition [1]:

Deficient: 040 ng/ml

Sufficient: 4080 ng/ml

High normal: 80100 ng/ml

The Endocrine Society definition [1]:

Deficiency 20 ng/ml

Insufficiency = 2029 ng/ml

The Institute of Medicine definition [1]:

Risk/deficiency 12 ng/ml

Risk/insufficiency = 1220 ng/ml

Sufficient = 20 ng/ml

So depending on your medical authorities, you could be considered deficient and sufficient at the same time.

Another important detail to know is about the man behind the push for higher vitamin D sufficiency levels, Dr. Michael Holick. Holicks momentum around for vitamin D has been described as extreme and the man has clear conflicts of interest around his push for guidelines that equate to widespread deficiency. You can read all the dirty details about how he sold America on vitamin D and profited.

 Problem #2 Reasons vitamin D can be low that dont stem from not enough vitamin D:

The following summarizes some of the reasons vitamin D 25(OH)D (storage form of vitamin D) can be low that do not indicate you need to supplement with vitamin D3:

  • Low magnesium [2]
  • Low boron [3]
  • Low vitamin C [4]
  • Inflammation/infection as someone who...

Ordinals, Inscriptions And BRC-20 Cant Break Bitcoin "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

This is an opinion editorial by Roy Sheinfeld, the co-founder and CEO of Breez, a Lightning Network mobile app.

The more wonderful something is, the more passion it will arouse. Bitcoin is among the greatest wonders of the late-modern world, so Greg Foss is understandably very passionate about it. So passionate in fact, that he dropped 11 f-bombs in 31 seconds out of concern for its future (and this despite the fact that hes Canadian!).

Why is such a stalwart Bitcoin proponent so concerned? Because two guys in cheap wizard costumes did a cringey Fortnite dance? Surely the stakes must be higher.

According to some, there is a battle underway for the future and soul of Bitcoin. According to others, weve just gained a fun, nerdy and innocuous way to play with Bitcoin that makes it even funner and nerdier, though no less revolutionary.

Ordinals, inscriptions and the BRC-20 protocol are the bone(s) of contention. Ordinals allow individual sats to be identified; inscriptions allow objects like text, images and data files to be written onto them; and BRC-20 allows second-order tokens to be minted directly onto them, like an Ethereum-lite. In effect, they introduce storage as a new use case for the Bitcoin blockchain in addition to its existing and principal use as a ledger for currency transactions. These features are affecting block sizes, transaction fees and validation times, so theyre not inconsequential.

The bone of contention is what they mean for Bitcoins future. Are they pathological, like a tumor? Do they offer a competitive advantage, like chlorophyll and claws? Or are they just harmless and benign, like male nipples or that little dangly thing at the top of your throat?

AITACleanPlate Person Asks if Theyre a Jerk for Not Giving Their Sister a Clean Plate at Dinner

Oh, you already ate off of it once, so whats the big deal?

Thats what I would have said if I was in this persons positionbut as we all know, everyone is different about this kind of stuff.

So did this person act like an a**hole to their sister?

Take a look at their story and see what you think.

AITA for not giving my sister a clean plate?

At dinner last night my sister wanted a second helping, so I took her plate and got her one.

She was upset when she saw the plate and asked why I brought her a dirty plate. I said it was her plate that she was just eating off of. She said that was nasty and I should have gotten her a clean one.

I think that since she was the one just eating off of it, it cant be that dirty. My father said that was indeed ill-mannered, although said she was worse for calling me on it in front of everyone.

I think its silly to get a new plate. The only germs on it were her own.

Take a look at what Reddit users had to say about this.

This reader said theyre NTA and that this is ridiculous.

Best Of: Right To Know "IndyWatch Feed Health"

Right To NoCathy is enjoying a lazy, crazy, hazy day of Summer. Please enjoy this Best Of!

By Cathy Jameson

The chance to educate parents in Oklahoma of the risks associated with products advertised for children known to have side effects was recently squashed.  As a former consumer of these products, learning about the decision to withhold information was disturbing.  It reminded me of a time when I traded my ignorance for blind trust. 

--

When Im shopping and see something that I want for my children, I take a few things into consideration before putting the item in my cart.  I ask myself if it is child-friendly and something my kids will like to use or play with.  After determining if it is, and that I can afford to make the purchase, I look over the product and review its quality.  Is it well made?  Does it meet safety standards?  Does the company who manufactures it have a good reputation?  If I discover that a flaw in the product after purchasing it, will I be able to return or replace it?  Simple questions, as a consumer they are valid and serve a purpose. 

Now, if Im at the grocery store shopping for my children, I ask myself different questions when I see something that I want to buy them.  As I scan the ingredient list, I ask myself, does the product have nutritional value?  Is the particular food healthy not by industry standards, but my familys standards?  With the information right there on the box, I can easily choose to put the item in my cart or not. 

My kids dont love how much I scrutinize products that come into our home, but since Im responsible for their health, safety and well-being, when it comes to food, technology and health care products, I like to get as much information as I can about the things Im choosing for them.  Most of the items I purchase list exactly what I wish to know and what I need to know. 

The right to know whats in a product is a basic yet necessary concept all consumers should be entitled to.  It should extend to all products marketed and sold to parents, but I find that it does not always happen in the medical world. 

Instead of gaining access to information,...

Solana (SOL) Tallies 10% Gains On Weekly Chart Will It Cross $25? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

Solana (SOL) has witnessed a remarkable recovery in the past week, showcasing a string of steady gains. Presently, SOL has increased by 10% and is actively traded at $21.80, reflecting a slight uptick in the cryptos price.

While its important to note that SOL remains significantly distant from its all-time high of $260, the recent upward motion has lifted its value beyond the $20 mark, indicating promising signs of an extended bullish sentiment

Whats Behind SOL Rise? 

There are several factors right now that could have influenced the rise in SOLs price. These include macroeconomic factors such as inflation and crypto regulation in different areas. In addition, Solana has experienced some success in adoption with some ecosystems adopting the token and launching cross-chain bridges. 

Related Reading: XRP Next Step: Heres Why An Upward Move Could Be Likely

However, the most likely factor is the increase in DEX volume recorded this week. Blockchain analysis platform DefiLlama revealed in a report earlier in the week that Solana had experienced a spike in DEX volume. According to the report, SOLs DEX volume surged by over 80% and is ranked fifth within the crypto market. This development is likely to have boosted its price action in the past week. 

Nonetheless, the Total Value Locked (TVL) has not reacted to this uptrend and has been stagnant since its decline last November following the FTX collapse. Currently, the TVL sits at around $275 million with no noticeable increase in value despite the gains of SOL in recent days. 

Solana (SOL) Price Outlook And Prediction 

SOL is currently trending upward and has continued its positive price action towards the weekend. However, the intermittent red candles on its weekly chart show that the bears are active this week. 

Looking at the technical indicators, its relative strength index is at 50 in the neutral zone between the oversold region of 35 and the overbought region of 75. The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is currently in the buy zone which is a bullish signal. In addition, the histogram bars are green and signal that a bullish trend is ahead and if the bulls persist, SOL is likely to have a sustained uptrend in the coming days.

Poser Still Hasnt Heard Every Band Yet "IndyWatch Feed Satire"

SPRINGFIELD, Va. The local community was devastated after video surfaced of Allan McTerry, owner of Narcolepsy Record Shop, coming across as a total poser; admitting that he hasnt heard every band yet, multiple TikTok punks confirm.

I honestly have no idea what the hell is going on, complained the small business owner. This kid just came into the shop with their phone already recording and started asking me if we have an original pressing of the Been Ngyuen Again s/t 7. When I told them I had never heard any of the band, they freaked out on me, turned the phone into their face, and started going off about how Im a mainstream sellout, and that Urban Outfitters has more credibility than I do. Then they walked out of the store and knocked over my zine rack. Now there are at least six kids a week coming in trying to check me and my scene cred. I booked Negative Approach in this shop before half these little fucks were even born!

The young punk who posted the now-viral video to TikTok says he had suspicions about the business owner for a while now.

Sure, I may be young but Ive spent enough time on YouTube to know who the real punks are in this town, said West Springfield High School Sophomore, Danny Whey. I mean, how do you own a record shop and not carry the new cassette from Istanbul grind pop legends Cant Stop A Noble?! Not to mention the shop is filled with original show flyers for whack-ass mainstream bands like The Clash, Black Flag, Misfits, and shit like that. Wheres Splinter Wizard?! Or Duck Duck Dick?! You should have seen the way he looked at me when I mentioned Kvziku. Like, do you know anything about Ukranian folkgaze?! Nothing but predictable fucking poser shit if you ask me.

Researchers at the University of Virginia have been studying the upward trend of poser reports over the last decade and have expressed concerns for the future.

New bands are being formed at an exponential rate, explains punk Anthropologist, Wendy Wrobleski. We are approaching a real tipping point and if this trend continues, we predict that by the year 2030, it will literally be impossible for anyone to know about every band to ever exist. This will force humanity into the next stage of evolution where, by definition, everybody alive will be a poser.

At press time, McTerry was seen looking at the Wikipedia entry for East-Indian Slop Punk in order to study for any upcoming quizzes he might be subjected to.

Earth Concert Continually Interrupted by David Attenborough Trying to Narrate It "IndyWatch Feed Satire"

BELLINGHAM, Wash. Longtime members of legendary drone-metal band Earth are reportedly annoyed by a recent performance that was perpetually interrupted by the narration of natural history legend David Attenborough, sources close to the band confirmed.

He just kept hip-checking our sound technician out of the way and hopping on the god mic, describing everything we were doing in that soothing British accent of his. It was making Adrienne and me pretty self-conscious, said Earth guitarist and founder Dylan Carlson, clearly still shaken by the experience. I mean, I understand the marquee said EARTH in big letters outside, so he obviously felt his presence was necessary. But how did he know our respective mating habits down to the last detail? I guess thats one thing to say for the dude he definitely does his research.

Attenborough didnt seem to notice that the band was irritated by his presence.

The dirge-like rituals on display were nothing short of fascinating. I was reminded of the slowest mammal on Earth, the three-toed sloth of Southeastern Brazil, and how it evolved through millennia to necessitate moving less rather than eating more, said the British broadcaster, as though he was being recorded for one of his many nature documentaries. These musicians were doing exactly that, but with sound. In fact, they gave the dutiful sloth a run, or rather imperceptibly measured lagging, for its money in the sedation department. It was like nothing Id seen before or since. Well, maybe at that one Sunn O))) show I wandered into a few years ago.

Bill Nighy, narrator of The Worlds Most Scenic Railway Journeys, expressed his thoughts on Attenboroughs sudden rogue mission at the concert.

Well, you see, all famous elderly storytellers live as roommates in the same apartment, so we can better function as NYLON, the Not Young League of Narrators, which consists of me, Dave, the bloke who did the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show, and of course, Morgan Freeman when hes not booked. We usually run our schedules by the others over tea and toast every morning, explained Nighy, in an effortlessly soothing timbre. So when we later heard Ol Atty had gone off-book that day at the Earth show, we were all taken aback. We of course admire his spirit, but it must be said that we at NYLON do not condone his actions. One more slip up and hes liable to have to turn in his mic, pop filter, and water bottle.

At press time, it was discovered that everyone in attendance had been long lulled to sleep by the soothing drone of Earth to have heard Attenboroughs musings anyway.

So You Have Synesthesia: Heres How To Shut the Fuck up About It "IndyWatch Feed Satire"

You are Gods chosen music listener. He wanted you to experience music, sounds, and even life itself at a greater magnitude than the plebeians who surround you. Your brain lights up with beautiful illuminations whenever an Animal Collective synth or a Papa Roach down-tuned guitar tickles your eardrums. The wallpaper of your minds eye changes to green whenever you see the number 3 somewhere. Holy fuck, you are special: you have synesthesia.

But the un-evolved pieces of shit around you exist in a monochrome hell of drab music consumption. They will never, ever understand what theyre missing out on, so dont even try to explain it. Even if you could describe it sufficiently, they would only feel bad and you would forever ruin music and sound for them. So, here are some tips for shutting the fuck up about your divinely-chosen gift.

1. Carry Earplugs

Keep earplugs with you at all times. You never know when a Huey Lewis tune will be pumped over a cafe stereo or a 1994 Ford Ranger will drive past while blasting Merle Haggard, thus triggering your beautiful mental kaleidoscope. It will only be a matter of time before you are compelled to tell a friend, loved one, or stranger about your enhanced perception.

2. Apply for Disability Plates
While we synesthetes know that our gift is indeed a strength, in real-world practice it affects us similarly as common disabilities do. By parking closer to your destination, you are decreasing the odds of those beautiful mental fireworks which remind you how much better you are than everyone else.

3. Only Interact With Fellow Synesthetes

The others will just never get it. They have rabbit ear antennas watching The Roy Rogers Show while youre streaming 4K Wes Anderson movies. You could describe the gift as accurately as humanly possible, and theyll always just respond with a shrug and a Oh, cool. You dont need these human slugs weighing you down. Banish them, shun them, and join us at the meetup where we sit at the philharmonic orchestra and orgasm repeatedly.

4. Join The X-Men
While using your evolved gifts to crush and conquer the lower humanoids currently running the planet is tempting, its irresponsible. Instead, team up with the likes of Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Professor Charles Xavier to build a better world for the exceptional and the normies alike. They could really use someone to tell them how green and swirly Imagine Dragons is. Plus youll get a cool new name like Soundsighter!

Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) Spikes 43% In A Week Heres Why "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"

BONE, the governance token of Shiba Inu, has experienced a significant uptick in the past week with its price surging by double digits during this period. At the time of writing, BONE has seen an increase of 0.5% in the past 24 hours reaching $1.20. Additionally, the token has witnessed a weekly rise of more than 40% making it the best performer among the top 100 tokens. 

BONE upp by 43% in the past week: Source @coingecko

This spike holds major significance as BONE has managed to be bullish despite the recent market sell-off, which has left the crypto market in a bearish state. The recent growth of BONE could be attributed to the statement of Shitoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu. 

Kusama Provides Tentative Date For Shibarium Launch 

Kusama had earlier in the week disclosed a potential date for the launch of Shibarium, the highly anticipated Layer-2 blockchain that would power the Shiba Inu ecosystem. According to a blog post on July 6, Kusama stated that the mainnet launch of Shibarium could be discussed and unveiled at the Blockchain Futurists Conference scheduled to take place in Toronto in August.

Kusama further defined the role of the multiple token systems that would be supported by Shibarium. According to him, the Shiba Inu ecosystem would be divided into four sections with each section utilizing a unique token. SHIB would be used to govern the community, while BONE governs and support community technology (such as Shibarium gas fees), LEASH would cater to community security and provides exclusivity, and TREAT moderates and enhances community projects. 

Following this disclosure, the price of BONE experienced a major uptrend due to the positive sentiments from the community. BONEs unique role in relation to Shibarium gas fees makes it a vital token within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

 Woman Asks if Shes a Jerk for Throwing Her Husbands Dinner in the Garbage

Have you ever been so fired up that you tossed someones dinner into the wastebasket?

Youd probably have to be pretty p**sed off, right?

I would sure think so!

And the woman who wrote this story now wants to know if she went too far when she did this to her husband.

Lets see what she had to say.

AITA for throwing my husbands dinner in the garbage?

We have a rather small kitchen. Theres basically only two places to stand/work while cooking.

In front of the counter or in front of the stove. I have frequently asked my husband to please stay out of the kitchen if I am in there cooking because theres just no room for two people and he will be in the way etc. He constantly ignores this request though. Last night, he came into the kitchen at kind of a critical point while I had stuff in the frying pan and was preparing stuff at the counter.

He stood in front of the stove and I was just waiting for him to move so that I could get to it. Then he said this looks like its burning, are you even gonna do anything? In exasperation, I yelled fn move!! but instead he stood there and started lecturing me to not yell at him, its his kitchen too and he has every right to be in there also etc.

By the time he finished, the stuff in the pan was well and truly burnt. so I scraped it into the trash and told him to go make his own fn dinner because it was his kitche...

Because even if you think you have it all figured out and you know whats going on, theres always something else you can learn when it comes to this stuff.

So pay attention to what these folks had to say on AskReddit!

No one wants that.

Earbuds or headphones signal that youre not aware of your surroundings. Staring at your phone indicates the same. Make you an easy target.

Dont look lost.

Always tell my kids to walk with a purpose.

Silence is underrated.

Dont talk if you dont need to.

Its so hard sometimes but the right thing to say in so many situations is nothing.

Assume the worst.

Dont hug the walls, walk a bit towards the center especially near corners.

Keep your ears open, notice things. Footsteps, shuffling, metal clanging, anything.

Basically be aware of your surroundings and anticipate critical situations.

Face forward.

Never turn your back to someone who you dont trust or is aggressive. YouTube is full of videos of people getting sucker punched from behind.

Trust your gut.

Glycolysis, a new mechanism of oleuropein against liver tumor. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Phytomedicine. 2023 Jun ;114:154770. Epub 2023 Mar 15. PMID: 36963367 Abstract Title:  Glycolysis, a new mechanism of oleuropein against liver tumor. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Benign and malignant liver tumors are prevalent worldwide. However, there is no effective and comprehensive treatment option for many patients with malignant tumors. Thus, it is critical to prevent benign tumors from worsening, increasing the number of treatment options and effective medications against malignant liver tumors. Oleuropein is a natural and non-toxic product and inhibits tumor growth in various ways.METHODS: We employed bioinformatics analysis and molecular docking to identify potential targets of oleuropein. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to determine the direct binding strength of the target and compounds. Essential functionalities of the targets were analyzed using gene interference approaches. Transcriptomic studies were performed to observe the global genomic alterations occurring inside cells. Changes in glycolytic metabolites and gene and protein expressions were also detected. The anti-tumor benefits of oleuropein in vivo were determined using a tumor-bearing mouse model.RESULTS: Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) was found to be a direct target of oleuropein. GPI discontinuation in liver tumor cells altered the expression of many genes, causing glycogenolysis. GPI interference was associated with PYGM and PFKFB4 inhibitors to inhibit glycolysis in liver tumors. Oleuropein inhibited glycolysis and showed good anti-tumor activity in vivo without adverse side effects.CONCLUSIONS: GPI is a crucial enzyme in glycolysis and the immediate target of oleuropein. GPI expression inside tumor cells affects different physiological functions and signal transduction. Oleuropein has depicted anti-tumor action in vivo without harmful side effects. Moreover, it can control tumor glycolysis through GPI.

PMID:  Antioxidants (Basel). 2023 Jan 14 ;12(1). Epub 2023 Jan 14. PMID: 36671060 Abstract Title:  Oleuropein Attenuates Oxidative Stress in Human Trophoblast Cells. Abstract:  Olive-derived bioactive compound oleuropein was evaluated against damage induced by hydrogen peroxide in human trophoblast cells, by examining the changes in several markers implicated in oxidative stress interactions in the placenta. Trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells were preincubated with OLE at 10 and 100M and exposed to HO, as a model of oxidative stress. Protein and lipid peroxidation, as well as antioxidant enzymes' activity, were determined spectrophotometrically, and DNA damage was evaluated by comet assay. iNOS protein expression was assessed by Western blot, while the mRNA expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic genesandand transcription factor, as well as cytokinesandwere determined by qPCR. Oleuropein demonstrated cytoprotective effects against HOin trophoblast cells by significantly improving the antioxidant status and preventing protein and lipid damage, as well as reducing the iNOS levels. OLE reduced the mRNA expression ofandhowever, it did not influence the expression ofor theratio after HOexposure. Oleuropein per se did not lead to any adverse effects in HTR-8/SVneo cells under the described conditions, confirming its safety. In conclusion, it significantly attenuated oxidative damage and restored antioxidant functioning, confirming its protective role in trophoblast.

PMID:  Plants (Basel). 2022 Dec 21 ;12(1). Epub 2022 Dec 21. PMID: 36616158 Abstract Title:  Nocellara Del Belice (L. Cultivar): Leaf Extract Concentrated in Phenolic Compounds and Its Anti-Inflammatory and Radical Scavenging Activity. Abstract:  L. is a plant belonging to the Oleaceae family, widely grown around the Mediterranean Basin and its leaves are a source of phenolic compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity. Among these, oleuropein and luteolin-7-O-glucoside represent two major polyphenolic compounds in olive-leaf extract. Herein, a polystyrene resin was used to recover the polyphenolic fraction from the acetone-water leaf extract from Nocellara del Belice cultivar, which showed the higher level of analysed bioactive compounds, compared to Carolea cultivar. The antioxidant activity of the extract concentrated in phenolic compounds (OLECp) was evaluated through a classical assay and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) for DPPH and hydroxyl radicals scavenging. Thus, the anti-inflammatory activity and the potential beneficial effects in reducing lipid accumulation in an in vitro model of NAFLD using McA-RH7777 cells exposed to oleic acid (OA) were evaluated. Nile Red and Oil Red O have been used to stain the lipid accumulation, while the inflammatory status was assessed by Cytokines Bioplex Assay. OLECp (TPC: 92.939.35 mg GAE/g, TFC: 728.1216.04 mg RE/g; 1 g of extract contains 315.250 mg of oleuropein and 17.44 mg of luteolin-7-O-glucoside) exerted a good radical scavenging capability (IC: 2.300.18 mg/mL) with a neutralizing power against DPPH and hydroxyl radicals, as confirmed by the decreased signal area of the EPR spectra. Moreover, OLECp at concentration of 25, 50 and 100g/mL counteracted the intracellular inflammatory status, as result of decreased intracellular lipid content. Our results highlighted the multiple properties and applications of anextract concentrated in polyphenols, and the possibility to formulate novel nutraceuticals with antioxidant properties, destined to ameliorate human health.

Tanshinone IIA enhances the therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells derived exosomes in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  J Control Release. 2023 Jun ;358:13-26. Epub 2023 Apr 26. PMID: 37086952 Abstract Title:  Tanshinone IIA enhances the therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells derived exosomes in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via up-regulating miR-223-5p. Abstract:  Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) is a serious obstacle for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) to benefit from post-ischemic reflow. The low immunogenicity and low carcinogenicity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes (exo) offer advantage in treating myocardial injuries. Tanshinone IIA (TSA) is an effective drug for MI/RI treatment. However, the underlying mechanism and targets remain obscure. In this study, we systematically investigated the therapeutic effect and its mechanism of TSA-pretreated MSC-derived exosomes (TSA-MSC) in ameliorating MI/RI in rats. Expectedly, the MI/RI was significantly relieved by TSA-MSCcompared with MSC. Moreover, the overexpression of CCR2 in rats' heart was used to determine CCR2 had a regulatory effect on monocyte infiltration and angiogenesis after MI/RI. MiRNA microarray analysis of MSCand TSA-MSCrevealed miR-223-5p an effective candidate mediator for TSA-MSCto exert its cardioprotective function and CCR2 as the downstream target. In summary, our findings indicated that miR-223-5p packaged in TSA-MSCinhibited CCR2 activation to reduce monocyte infiltration and enhanced angiogenesis to alleviate MI/RI. Thus, the development of cell free therapies for exosomes derived from the combination TSA and MSC provides an effective strategy for the clinical therapies of ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells inhibits skin cancer progression. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Biotechnol Genet Eng Rev. 2023 Apr 24:1-13. Epub 2023 Apr 24. PMID: 37092869 Abstract Title:  Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells inhibits skin cancer progression via miR-199a-5p/SOX4. Abstract:  Although miR-199a-5p is linked to the development of numerous cancers, its regulatory role in skin cancer is unclear. In this work, the impact of miR-199a-5p produced by adipose-derived stem cells on malignant melanoma skin cancer was investigated.30 pair tumor tissues and adjacent tissues were obtained from skin cancer patients. Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSCs) were isolated from adipose tissues harvested from healthy subjects. The mRNA relative expression was evaluated via qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation ability was measured via CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis was evaluated via flow cytometry. The connection between miR-199a-5p and SOX4 was confirmed via luciferase reporter assay. Western blot was conducted to evaluate protein expression. MiR-199a-5p was higher expressed in ADSCs exosomes and was lower expressed in skin cancer tissues and cells. ADSCs-derived exosomes inhibited cell invasion of skin cancer. MiR-199a-5p inhibitor enhanced cell viability and invasion. In addition, miR-199a-5p inhibitor suppressed cell apoptosis. MiR-199a-5p NC transfected ADSCs inhibited cell viability and invasion while miR-199a-5p mimic transfected ADSCs further inhibited cell viability and invasion. In addition, miR-199a-5p NC transfected ADSCs enhanced cell apoptosis while miR-199a-5p mimic transfected ADSCs further enhanced cell apoptosis. Luciferase supported the targetscan prediction that miR-199a-5p might control SOX4 expression. SOX4 expression was noticeably lower in the miR-199a-5p mimic group.Exosomes from adipose-derived stem cells inhibited skin cancer progression via miR-199a-5p/SOX4.

miR-30e-3p in natural killer cell-derived exosomes inhibits the proliferation and invasion of human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Xi Bao Yu Fen Zi Mian Yi Xue Za Zhi. 2023 Apr ;39(4):295-302. PMID: 37087546 Abstract Title:  [miR-30e-3p in natural killer cell-derived exosomes inhibits the proliferation and invasion of human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells]. Abstract:  Objective To investigate the effects of natural killer (NK)-cell-derived miR-30e-3p-containing exosomes (Exo) on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion. Methods NK cells were isolated and amplified from the peripheral blood of healthy donors, and NK cell-derived Exo was isolated and identified, which were further co-cultured with NEC cells and were randomly grouped into Exo1 and Exo2 groups. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the morphology and size of exosomes. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression levels of exosome markers apoptosis related gene 2- interacting protein X(ALIX), tumor susceptibility gene 101(TSG101), CD81 and calnexin. The NC plasmids, mimics and inhibitors of miR030e-3p were respectively delivered into the NK cells, and the corresponding NK cells-derived Exo were co-cultured with NEC cells, which were divided into NC, Exo, mimic and inhibitor groups. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation, flow cytometry was conducted to determine cell cycle, annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was employed to detect cell apoptosis, and Transwellassay was performed to detect cell invasion abilities. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-23b, miR-422a, miR-133b, miR-124, miR-30e-3p and miR-99a in NCE cells and exosomes. Results The percentages of CD56CD3cells and CD56CD16cells in NK cells were (0.0710.008)% and (90.610.6)%, respectively. Exosome isolated from NK cells ranged from 30 nm to 150 nm, and was positive for ALIX, TSG101 and CD81, while negative for calnexin. NK cell-derived Exos inhibited the proliferation, reduced the proportion of S-phase cells and the number of invaded cells of NEC cells, and promoted the apoptosis and the proportion of G1 phase cells. Overexpression of miR-30E-3p in NK cell-derived exosome inhibited the proliferation and invasion of NEC cells, and blocked cell cycle and promoted apoptosis, while knockdown miR-30e-3p in NK cell-derived exosomes did the opposite. Conclusion miR-30e-3p in NK cell-derived exosomes can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of ESCC cells, block their cell cycle and induce their apoptosis.

PMID:  Adv Biol (Weinh). 2023 Jun ;7(6):e2200214. Epub 2023 Apr 20. PMID: 37080945 Abstract Title:  The Muscle-Gut-Brain Axis and Psychiatric Illness. Abstract:  The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) has been the subject of much research over the past decade, offering an exciting new paradigm for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. In this review, the MGBA is extended to include skeletal muscle and the potential role of an expanded "muscle-gut-brain axis" (MuGBA) in conditions such as anxiety and depression is discussed. There is evidence, from both preclinical and human studies, of bidirectional links between the gut microbiome and skeletal muscle function and structure. The therapeutic role of exercise in reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms is widely recognised, and the potential role of the gut microbiota-skeletal muscle link is discussed within this context. Potential pathways of communication involved in the MuGBA including the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway, intestinal permeability, immune modulation, and bacterial metabolites such as short-chain-fatty-acids are explored.

Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in recovered patients (RPs) is gradually recognized by more people. However, how long it will last and the underlining mechanism remains unclear.METHODS: We conducted a prospective follow-up study to evaluate the long-term symptoms and clinical indices of RPs at one-year after discharge from Union Hospital, Wuhan, China between December 2020 to May 2021. We also performed the 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples from RPs and healthy controls (HCs) and analyzed the correlation between the gut microbiota and long COVID-19.RESULTS: In total, 187 RPs were enrolled, among them, 84 (44.9%) RPs reported long COVID-19 symptoms at one-year after discharge. The most common long-term symptoms were cardiopulmonary symptoms, including chest tightness after activity (39/187, 20.9%), palpitations on exercise (27/187, 14.4%), sputum (21/187, 11.2%), cough (15/187, 8.0%) and chest pain (13/187, 7.0%), followed by systemic symptoms including fatigue (34/187, 18.2%) and myalgia (20/187, 10.7%), and digestive symptoms including constipation (14/187, 7.5%), anorexia (13/187, 7.0%), and diarrhea (8/187, 4.3%). Sixty-six (35.9%) RPs presented either anxiety or depression (42/187 [22.8%] and 53/187 [28.8%] respectively), and the proportion of anxiety or depression in the long symptomatic group was significantly higher than that in the asymptomatic group (41/187 [50.6%] vs. 25/187 [24.3%]).

Probiotic therapy, African fermented foods and food-derived bioactive peptides in the management of SARS-CoV-2 cases. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Biotechnol Rep (Amst). 2023 Jun ;38:e00795. Epub 2023 Apr 2. PMID: 37041970 Abstract Title:  Probiotic therapy, African fermented foods and food-derived bioactive peptides in the management of SARS-CoV-2 cases and other viral infections. Abstract:  The current paper focuses on the impact of probiotics, African fermented foods and bioactive peptides on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection severity and related viral infections. Using probiotics or bioactive peptides as therapeutic adjuncts appears superior to standard care alone. Probiotics play critical roles in innate and adaptive immune modulation by balancing the gut microbiota to combat viral infections, secondary bacterial infections and microbial dysbiosis. African fermented foods contain abundant potential probiotic microorganisms such as the lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Saccharomyces, and Bacillus. More so, fermented food-derived bioactive peptides play vital roles in preventing cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, lung injury, diabetes, and other COVID-19 comorbidities. Regularly incorporating potential probiotics and bioactive peptides into diets should enable a build-up of the benefits in the body system that may result in a better prognosis, especially in COVID-19 patients with underlying complexities. Despite the reported therapeutic potentials of probiotics and fermented foods, numerous setbacks exist regarding their application in disease management. These shortfalls underscore an evident need for more studies to evaluate the specific potentials of probiotics and traditional fermented foods in ameliorating SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections.

Effect of probiotics as an immune modulator for the management of COVID-19. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Arch Microbiol. 2023 Apr 9 ;205(5):182. Epub 2023 Apr 9. PMID: 37031431 Abstract Title:  Effect of probiotics as an immune modulator for the management of COVID-19. Abstract:  COVID-19, an acute respiratory viral infection conveyed by pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has affected millions of individuals globally, and is a public health emergency of international concern. Till now, there are no highly effective therapies for this infection without vaccination. As they can evolve quickly and cross the strain level easily, these viruses are causing epidemics or pandemics that are allied with more severe clinical diseases. A new approach is needed to improve immunity to confirm the protection against emerging viral infections. Probiotics can modify gut microbial dysbiosis, improve the host immune system, and stimulate immune signaling, increasing systemic immunity. Several probiotic bacterial therapies have been proven to decrease the period of bacterial or viral infections. Superinduction of inflammation, termed cytokine storm, has been directly linked with pneumonia and severe complications of viral respiratory infections. In this case, probiotics as potential immunomodulatory agents can be an appropriate candidate to improve the host's response to respiratory viral infections. During this COVID-19 pandemic, any approach that can induce mucosal and systemic immunity could be helpful. Here, we summarize contexts regarding the effectiveness of various probiotics for preventing virus-induced respiratory infectious diseases, especially those that could be employed for COVID-19 patients. In addition, the effects of probiotics, their mechanisms on different aspects of immune responses against respiratory viral infection, and their antiviral properties in clinical findings have been described in detail.

Gut and airway microbiota dysbiosis and their role in COVID-19 and long-COVID. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Front Immunol. 2023 ;14:1080043. Epub 2023 Mar 8. PMID: 36969243 Abstract Title:  Gut and airway microbiota dysbiosis and their role in COVID-19 and long-COVID. Abstract:  The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in human health and disease. Gut dysbiosis is known to be associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory diseases and modifications in the immune response and homeostasis of the lungs (the so-called gut-lung axis). Furthermore, recent studies have highlighted the possible role of dysbiosis in neurological disturbances, introducing the notion of the "gut-brain axis." During the last 2 years, several studies have described the presence of gut dysbiosis during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its relationship with disease severity, SARS-CoV-2 gastrointestinal replication, and immune inflammation. Moreover, the possible persistence of gut dysbiosis after disease resolution may be linked to long-COVID syndrome and particularly to its neurological manifestations. We reviewed recent evidence on the association between dysbiosis and COVID-19, investigating the possible epidemiologic confounding factors like age, location, sex, sample size, the severity of disease, comorbidities, therapy, and vaccination status on gut and airway microbial dysbiosis in selected studies on both COVID-19 and long-COVID. Moreover, we analyzed the confounding factors strictly related to microbiota, specifically diet investigation and previous use of antibiotics/probiotics, and the methodology used to study the microbiota (- and-diversity parameters and relative abundance tools). Of note, only a few studies focused on longitudinal analyses, especially for long-term observation in long-COVID. Lastly, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the role of microbiota transplantation and other therapeutic approaches and their possible impact on disease progression and severity. Preliminary data seem to suggest that gut and airway dysbiosis might play a role in COVID-19 and in long-COVID neurological symptoms. Indeed, the development and interpretation of these data could have important implications for future preventive and therapeutic strategies.

He Told Everyone Why His Brother-In-Law Wasnt at His Daughters Birthday Party. Is He a Jerk? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

AITABirthdayParty He Told Everyone Why His Brother In Law Wasnt at His Daughters Birthday Party. Is He a Jerk?

Hey, the truth hurts sometimes

And it can really hurt when its about YOU and something that YOU did wrong.

Check out this guys post that he shared on Reddits Am I the A**hole? page and see if you think he was wrong for putting his brother-in-law on blast.

Start now!

AITA for telling everyone why my BIL wasnt at his daughters birthday party?

I (37M) have recently separated from my wife (37F) for a multitude of reasons but the one at the top of the list is her prioritisation of her best friend/SIL (she married the brother) in all aspects of her life. Ive drawn a hard line on having no communication, except for childcare arrangements, and so far that has been working.

She contacted me about my nieces upcoming birthday party (SILs daughter), and if I would be OK bringing our daughter (it was my week with her). The kids love playing with each other, and I didnt think it was fair for them to miss out just because I might feel awkward about it.

We went along, and everything was fine. I avoided SIL and my ex as much as possible, and mingled and socialised with the other parents. I eventually got talking to one mum, who made a comment that blew my mind. When I got to the party, I noticed that BIL wasnt there ( nieces dad). I had overheads SIL tell people he was working (which sucks, but fair enough).

SARS-CoV-2 infection alters the gut microbiome in diabetes patients. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  J Med Virol. 2023 Apr ;95(4):e28691. PMID: 36946508 Abstract Title:  SARS-CoV-2 infection alters the gut microbiome in diabetes patients: A cross-sectional study from Bangladesh. Abstract:  Populations of different South Asian nations including Bangladesh reportedly have a high risk of developing diabetes in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the gut microbiome of COVID-19-positive participants with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with healthy control subjects. Microbiome data of 30 participants with T2DM were compared with 22 age-, sex-, and body mass index (BMI)-matched individuals. Clinical features were recorded while fecal samples were collected aseptically from the participants. Amplicon-based (16S rRNA) metagenome analyses were employed to explore the dysbiosis of gut microbiota and its correlation with genomic and functional features in COVID-19 patients with or without T2DM. Comparing the detected bacterial genera across the sample groups, 98 unique genera were identified, of which 9 genera had unique association with COVID-19 T2DM patients. Among different bacterial groups, Shigella (25%), Bacteroides (23.45%), and Megamonas (15.90%) had higher mean relative abundances in COVID-19 patients with T2DM. An elevated gut microbiota dysbiosis in T2DM patients with COVID-19 was observed while some metabolic functional changes correlated with bidirectional microbiome dysbiosis between diabetes and non-diabetes humans gut were also found. These results further highlight the possible association of COVID-19 infection that might be linked with alteration of gut microbiome among T2DM patients.

The Dangers of Copper Deficiency and Iron Overload "IndyWatch Feed Health"

Here, I interview repeat guest Morley Robbins, MBA, CHC,1 founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group and author of Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How to Fix It on Your Own.

While weve discussed the topic of iron and copper before, the percentage of doctors and natural medical clinicians who understand his work is probably about 1% or less, so its well worth revisiting. Besides, its near-impossible to learn this information in a single interview without repeated review of these vital principles.

Iron is often viewed as a universal panacea that most need more of, but nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that almost everyone, with the exception of menstruating women, or those with large blood losses, have too much iron.

Conversely, copper is often considered toxic, yet most people are deficient and actually need more in order for their iron metabolism to function properly. Without copper, your iron will not recycle properly, resulting in what appears to be a low iron level upon testing.

The real problem, however, is not low iron but low copper. Adding iron will only worsen the situation as excess iron is extremely damaging to your cardiovascular system. Iron rusts, and thats basically what happens in your blood vessels as well.

Effects of Copper Deficiency

Robbins cites animal research2 from 2009 that looked at what happens to genes (which are responsible for encoding proteins) when rats are denied copper. As it turns out, six genes (and subsequent proteins) are down-regulated or turned off, while one gene in particular, transferrin, is upregulated, as follows:

  1. Beta-enolase (ENO3)
  2. Carbonic anhydrase, which increases carbon dioxide access, carbonic acid, protons and bicarbonate ions. Carbonic anhydrase is billed as a zinc enzyme but its actually a copper enzyme
  3. Aldose reductase-1, which plays a crucial role in glucose and fructose metabolism
  4. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX), one of your master antioxidant enzymes, which is copper dependent
  5. Muscle creatine kinase, which your muscles need to function as it plays an important role in energy production
  6. Mitochondrial aconitase, which is involved in iron metabolism in the mitochondria
  7. Transferrin, w...

New Book Reveals the Uncensored History of AIDS "IndyWatch Feed Health"

In this video, I interview journalist Celia Farber about her recently republished book, "Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS." As a young reporter working for SPIN magazine, Farber started questioning the official narrative around AIDS, and this book is the outgrowth of her decades-long investigation into and writing about this "hot potato" topic.

Long before censorship went mainstream, Farber was put through the wringer. In 2006, she published an article in Harper's Magazine titled "Out of Control: AIDS and the Corruption of Medical Science." In it, she highlighted the work of virologist and retrobiologist Peter Duesberg, who insisted that HIV doesn't cause AIDS.

In my view, Duesberg was brilliant, but like so many other brilliant scientists, he was widely discredited for not going along with the narrative promoted by the conventional medical establishment.

As a result of her reporting, Farber was vehemently attacked by leading AIDS researchers and activists,1 so much so, she ended up suing three of the attackers for defamation. The New York County Supreme Court dismissed2 her claim in 2011 and upheld the verdict in 2013. Still, she did not quit or back down, and kept searching for the truth.

'The Passion of Duesberg'

As explained by Farber, Duesberg worked at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, one of the most well-respected scientific institutions in the world. After moving to the United States, he became a professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

In 1987, he published a paper in Cancer Research, proposing that retroviruses are not the cause of cancer, nor the cause of AIDS. According to his scientific biographer, this was the paper that "sealed his scientific doom forever after." Farber notes:

"Duesberg mapped the genetic structure of retroviruses. So to him, yes, they were entities, but no, they didn't do anything. They didn't infect or kill cells. They were harmless. And he had phrases like, 'HIV, that's a pussycat. It's not going to do anything. Saying that HIV is going to cause AIDS is like saying you're going to conquer China by killing three soldiers a day.'

In other words, there's no 'there' there. There was no cell death. And fascinatingly, or disturbingly, the HIV orthodoxy never contested that. So, I would say they had a supernatural belief in HIV. They would say, 'We just know HIV causes AIDS,' and anybody who doesn't know that is dangerous, homophobic, murderous and so forth."

The Harmful Effects of Electromagnetic Fields Explained "IndyWatch Feed Health"

Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published September 3, 2017.

I've often noted that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are a pernicious, hidden health risk. But exactly how does this kind of microwave radiation damage your health? Martin Pall, Ph.D., has identified and published research describing the likely molecular mechanisms of how EMFs from cellphones and wireless technologies damage plants, animals and humans.1,2,3,4

Pall has a bachelor's in physics from Johns Hopkins and a Ph.D. in biochemistry and genetics from Caltech, and is uniquely qualified for this type of research. For the past 18 years, he's been scouring the medical literature, integrating and drawing parallels between work done by others to answer this pressing question. Pall explains:

"There is a huge amount of information out here that nobody has the time to integrate, digest and make connections [between]. That's what I've been doing I was interested in EMFs before I could understand how they worked. Then I stumbled onto two papers that told me, 'Well, this looks like the way they work,' and then I dug out more and more papers

What the [initial two] studies showed was that you could block or greatly lower the effects [of EMF] by using calcium channel blockers That was the key observation

Now [I have found] 26 [papers] They all show that EMFs work by activating what are called voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). These are channels in the outer membrane of the cell, the plasma membrane that surrounds all our cells. When they're activated, they open up and allow calcium to flow into the cell. It's the excess calcium in the cell which is responsible for most if not all of the [biological effects]."

EMFs and Intracellular Calcium

When you expose cells to EMFs, there's increased intercellular calcium. You also get increases in calcium signaling, which is important as well, in terms of explaining the damage EMFs cause. For the past 25 years, the industry has claimed that non-ionizing radiation is harmless and that the only radiation worth worrying about is ionizing radiation. Pall's research unequivocally proves that this assumption is false.

"It's been very clear, going back all the way to 1971 and even before that, that this wasn't true. But...

But did she go too far in her response?

Check out what she had to say and YOU be the judge.

AITA for making a whole scene in the family table that my mom ruined my cheesecake?

So Im(19f) a pastry chef, I love my sweets to be on point as you can see them on pictures, nothing less or nothing more.My mom(60F) other hand keeps destroying my sweets by adding so much of everything.

One time I made a strawberry cake for my grandmas birthday and she came to it to add a whole tones of whipping cream.At the end the cake was a whole disaster,it was falling apart from too much cream and I yelled her in top of my lungs that she keeps destroying everything I make ,she put on the sad face saying she wont bother with me and my sweets anymore.

So Last weekend we were visiting my grandma(her sister too) and I made a fruit tart and a cheesecake.I put them on the fridge and warned my mom TO NOT TOUCH IT!!. When we arrived,we open the cheesecake and apparently she have put chocolate syrup all over it and the box/cheesecake itself was an ugly mess.At that point I had a breakdown and started yelling her and crying saying WHY YOU KEEP DESTROYING MY WORK,IM SO FED UP WITH YOU,she kept pushing it off saying its not beauti...

Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (asymptomatic and mild) had a greater incidence of antibiotic resistance genes and a greater microbial burden than the SARS-CoV-2-negative individuals. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Sci Rep. 2023 Mar 13 ;13(1):4122. Epub 2023 Mar 13. PMID: 36914691 Abstract Title:  A multicentre study reveals dysbiosis in the microbial co-infection and antimicrobial resistance gene profile in the nasopharynx of COVID-19 patients. Abstract:  The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the nasopharyngeal microbiome has not been well characterised. We sequenced genetic material extracted from nasopharyngeal swabs of SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals who were asymptomatic (n=14), had mild (n=64) or severe symptoms (n=11), as well as from SARS-CoV-2-negative individuals who had never-been infected (n=5) or had recovered from infection (n=7). Using robust filters, we identified 1345 taxa with approximately 0.1% or greater read abundance. Overall, the severe cohort microbiome was least diverse. Bacterial pathogens were found in all cohorts, but fungal species identifications were rare. Few taxa were common between cohorts suggesting a limited human nasopharynx core microbiome. Genes encoding resistance mechanisms to 10 antimicrobial classes (>25% sequence coverages, 315 genes, 63 non-redundant) were identified, with-lactam resistance genes near ubiquitous. Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (asymptomatic and mild) had a greater incidence of antibiotic resistance genes and a greater microbial burden than the SARS-CoV-2-negative individuals. This should be considered when deciding how to treat COVID-19 related bacterial infections.

Gut microbiota and hypertension: association, mechanisms and treatment. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Clin Exp Hypertens. 2023 Dec 31 ;45(1):2195135. PMID: 36994745 Abstract Title:  Gut microbiota and hypertension: association, mechanisms and treatment. Abstract:  OBJECTIVES: Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardio-cerebral vascular diseases, which brings a heavy economic burden to society and becomes a major public health problem. At present, the pathogenesis of hypertension is unclear. Increasing evidence has proven that the pathogenesis of hypertension is closely related to the dysbiosis of gut microbiota. We briefly reviewed relevant literature on gut microbiota and hypertension to summarize the relationship between gut microbiota and hypertension, linked the antihypertension effects of drugs with their modulation on gut microbiota, and discussed the potential mechanisms of various gut microbes and their active metabolites to alleviate hypertension, thus providing new research ideas for the development of antihypertension drugs.METHODS: The relevant literature was collected systematically from scientific database, including Elsevier, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Baidu Scholar, as well as other literature sources, such as classic books of herbal medicine.RESULTS: Hypertension can lead to gut microbiota imbalance and gut barrier dysfunction, including increased harmful bacteria and hydrogen sulfide and lipopolysaccharide, decreased beneficial bacteria and short-chain fatty acids, decreased intestinal tight junction proteins and increased intestinal permeability. Gut microbiota imbalance is closely related to the occurrence and development of hypertension. At present, the main methods to regulate the gut microbiota include fecal microbiota transplantation, supplementation of probiotics, antibiotics, diet and exercise, antihypertensive drugs, and natural medicines.CONCLUSIONS: Gut microbiota is closely related to hypertension. Investigating the correlation between gut microbiota and hypertension may help to reveal the pathogenesis of hypertension from the perspective of gut microbiota, which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of hypertension.

Physical exercise and diet: regulation of gut microbiota to prevent and treat metabolic disorders to maintain health. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Nutrients. 2023 Mar 22 ;15(6). Epub 2023 Mar 22. PMID: 36986268 Abstract Title:  Physical Exercise and Diet: Regulation of Gut Microbiota to Prevent and Treat Metabolic Disorders to Maintain Health. Abstract:  Each person's body is host to a large number and variety of gut microbiota, which has been described as the second genome and plays an important role in the body's metabolic process and is closely related to health. It is common knowledge that proper physical activity and the right diet structure can keep us healthy, and in recent years, researchers have found that this boost to health may be related to the gut microbiota. Past studies have reported that physical activity and diet can modulate the compositional structure of the gut microbiota and further influence the production of key metabolites of the gut microbiota, which can be an effective way to improve body metabolism and prevent and treat related metabolic diseases. In this review, we outline the role of physical activity and diet in regulating gut microbiota and the key role that gut microbiota plays in improving metabolic disorders. In addition, we highlight the regulation of gut microbiota through appropriate physical exercise and diet to improve body metabolism and prevent metabolic diseases, aiming to promote public health and provide a new approach to treating such diseases.

The findings show that participation in exercise of moderate to high-intensity is likely to produce changes in the gut microbiota. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Nutrients. 2023 Mar 22 ;15(6). Epub 2023 Mar 22. PMID: 36986264 Abstract Title:  The Effect of Exercise Prescription on the Human Gut Microbiota and Comparison between Clinical and Apparently Healthy Populations: A Systematic Review. Abstract:  This study systematically reviewed all human longitudinal exercise interventions that reported changes in the gut microbiota; frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise were assessed to determine the influence of these variables on changes to the gut microbiota in both healthy individuals and clinical populations (PROPERO registration: CRD42022309854). Using PRISMA guidelines, trials analysing gut microbiota change with exercise interventions were included independent of trial randomisation, population, trial duration or analysis technique. Studies were excluded when microbiota abundance was not reported or when exercise was combined with other interventions. Twenty-eight trials were included, of which twelve involved healthy populations only and sixteen involved mixed or clinical-only populations. The findings show that participation in exercise of moderate to high-intensity for 30-90 min3 times per week (or between 150-270 min per week) for8 weeks is likely to produce changes in the gut microbiota. Exercise appears to be effective in modifying the gut microbiota in both clinical and healthy populations. A more robust methodology is needed in future studies to improve the certainty of the evidence.

The role of probiotics as wound healers: an overall view. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  J Wound Care. 2023 May 2 ;32(5):318-328. PMID: 37094922 Abstract Title:  The role of probiotics as wound healers: an overall view. Abstract:  A wound is an injury to the skin or damage to the body tissue. The healing process differs between various kinds of wounds. Treatment of hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds becomes challenging for healthcare practitioners, especially if patients have underlying health complications such as diabetes. Infection of wounds is another factor that interferes with the healing process and extends its duration. Active research is being conducted into the development of advanced wound dressing technologies. These wound dressings are intended to manage the exudate, reduce bacterial infection and speed up the healing process. Probiotics have been receiving much attention because of their potential application in the clinical field, especially in diagnostics and treatment strategies of various infectious and non-infectious diseases. The host immune-modulatory response and antimicrobial activity of probiotics are expanding their role in the development of improved wound dressing technology.

Evaluation of probiotic effects of Lactobacilli on Mutans Streptococci. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  J Contemp Dent Pract. 2022 Oct 1 ;23(10):984-990. Epub 2022 Oct 1. PMID: 37073910 Abstract Title:  Evaluation of Probiotic Effects of Lactobacilli on Mutans Streptococci: AnStudy. Abstract:  AIM: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the probiotic effect ofandon clinical isolates of Mutans Streptococci (MS) and antibiotic susceptibility of these strains to commonly used antibiotics in dentistry.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Plaque samples from permanent first molars were collected and transferred aseptically onto Mitis-Salivarius agar and incubated at 37C for 24 hours in the presence of 5-10% CO. Mutans streptococci colonies were identified biochemically using Hi-Strep identification kit. The inhibitory activity of the clinical strains of MS on Lactobacilli was investigated using agar-overlay interference technique. Positive inhibition was appreciated as a clear zone around the LactobacilliDisk diffusion assay was done as described by CLSI M100-S25 for antibiotic susceptibility. The zone of growth inhibition caused by Lactobacilli and antibiotics on MS clinical strains was measured directly using a vernier caliper. Statistical analysis was done using independent-test.RESULTS: Mutans streptococci exhibited positive inhibition with both the probiotic strains andshowed more zones of inhibition than. Antibiotic susceptibility of clinical strains of MS showed sensitivity to penicillin and vancomycin, however, tetracycline and erythromycin showed very few resistant strains. The highest zone of inhibition was shown by cephalothin followed by penicillin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and vancomycin.CONCLUSION: andhave strong inhibitory effects on clinical strains of MS.showed a higher zone of inhibition. All the clinical strains of MS were sensitive to penicillin and vancomycin. The highest zone of inhibition was shown by cephalothin.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Dental caries remains silent epidemic and increasing antibiotic resistance is another major challenge that threatens the world. Newer methods such as whole-bacteria replacement therapy using probiotics for decreasing harmful oral pathogens and reducing the intake of antibiotics must be explored. More researches to promote use of probiotics should be initiated due to its possible preventive and health maintenance benefits providing an end to new cavities and antibiotic resistance.

PMID:  Phytomedicine. 2023 Jul ;115:154820. Epub 2023 Apr 12. PMID: 37094426 Abstract Title:  Gut microbiome-mediated glucose and lipid metabolism mechanism of star apple leaf polyphenol-enriched fraction on metabolic syndrome in diabetic mice. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a kind of metabolic syndrome (MetS) that seriously threatens human health globally. The leaf of star apple (Chrysophyllum cainito L.) is an incompletely explored folk medicine on diabetes. And, the effects and mechanisms on diabetes complicated glycolipid metabolism disorders are unknown till now.PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the constituents of star apple leaf polyphenol enriched-fraction (SAP), and elucidate their treatment effects and mechanism on diabetes and accompanied other MetS.METHODS: The components of SAP were tentatively identified by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The antioxidant activity was determined by the scavenging of free radicals and hypoglycemic activities by inhibition of-glucosidase in vitro. HepG2 cells were used for evaluating the alleviation effects of SAP on lipid accumulation. Streptozotocin and high-fat diet induced diabetic mice were grouped to evaluate the effects of different dosages of SAP. 16S rRNA was conducted to analysis gut microbiome-mediated glucose and lipid metabolism mechanism.RESULTS: It showed that myricitrin was one of the main active constituents of SAP. SAP not only showed low IC50 on -glucosidase (24.4270.626g/mL), OH(3.6800.054g/mL) and ABTS(9.1550.234g/mL), but significantly induced the lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells (p

Protective effect of apple polyphenols on H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage in human colon. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2023 ;71(4):262-268. PMID: 37005250 Abstract Title:  Protective Effect of Apple Polyphenols on HO-Induced Oxidative Stress Damage in Human Colon Adenocarcinoma Caco-2 Cells. Abstract:  Apple is an important dietary agent for human and apple polyphenols (AP) are the main secondary metabolites of apples. In this study, the protective effects of AP on hydrogen peroxide (HO)-induced oxidative stress damage in human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells were investigated by cell viability, oxidative stress change as well as cell apoptosis. Pre-adding AP could significantly increase the survival rate of HO-treated Caco-2 cells. Besides, the activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and catalase (CAT) were elevated. While the malondialdehyde (MDA) content which is the major oxidant products of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) reduced after AP treatment. In addition, AP also suppressed the emergence of DNA fragment and decreased the expression of apoptosis-related protein Caspase-3. These results demonstrated that AP could ameliorate HO-induced oxidative stress damage in Caco-2 cells, which could serve as a reference for further studies of apple natural active products and deep study of the anti-oxidative stress mechanism.

Did we Produce a Whole Generation of Brain Damaged Adults? "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"

Image result for CT brain scans

More and more the CT scans of the brains of young adults are showing irregularities. These deficient characteristics were not inflicted knowingly but they were a product of the environment. Researchers are just now realizing that the time it takes for an adult brain to attain full development is longer than had been expected. In women who tend to physically mature faster than boys due to hormonal development the age of a full developed brain is about 21 years of old. Shockingly, for young men the age of 25. This may not seem that significant, but when one considers the early age of exposure in many kids to alcohol, drugs, and smoking these factors can definitely affect whether or not thinking and reasoning processes are affected.

Requiem for abnormality

To think of the effects of drugs and smoking on the under developed brain is bad enough, but medical specialists have begun evaluating the effects of video games both physiologically and psychologically on the development of a growing childs brain. Studies indicate that the artificial inducement of adrenaline and brain opiates at concentrated levels due to the unusual stimulus of video games that are violent and dramatic will have lasting effects on the cognitive capabilities as well as normal emotional responses of young adults.

In real world combat

George Carlin, well known comedian cracked a joke back during the Desert Storm conflict that Our Nintendo Pilots where wreaking havoc on our enemies. There have actually been advocates for using video games as a way of evaluating the capabilities of the modern combat pilot with so much electronic instrumentality to monitor it takes a certain skill set that many normal applicants might not have, but what is the downside to such behavior? Would there not be deficits in normal emotional states, lack of ability to attain intimacy on a non-sexual level, lack of empathy, the unrealistic attitude toward death and destruction though desensitization through simulated battle and violence? This they found to be true. It was found that during the Vietnam War the loss of pilots due to SAMs (Surface to Air Missiles) was due to a psychological condition known as Saturation  where the pilot was inundated with so many instrument alarms and readings that he could not effectively focus on life saving combat skills. He was shot down due to t...

Contribution of five major apple polyphenols in reducing peanut protein sensitization and alleviating allergencitiy of peanut. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Food Res Int. 2023 Feb ;164:112297. Epub 2022 Dec 8. PMID: 36737898 Abstract Title:  Contribution of five major apple polyphenols in reducing peanut protein sensitization and alleviating allergencitiy of peanut by changing allergen structure. Abstract:  Peanuts are prone to trigger allergic reactions with high mortality rate. There is currently no effective way to prevent peanut allergy. In order to reduce the allergy risk of peanuts, it's significant to reduce sensitization of peanut prior to ingestion. In this study, the effects of five major apple polyphenols (epicatechin, phlorizin, rutin, chlorogenic acid, and catechin) -peanut protein on the sensitization of peanut allergens were studied by BALB/c peanut allergy model to access the contribution of each polyphenol in apple to peanut allergen sensitization reduction. Then, the mechanism was explored in terms of the effect of polyphenols on the simulated gastric digestion of peanut protein and the changes in structure of Ara h 1. The results showed that polyphenol binding could alleviate allergencitiy of peanut and regulate MAPK related signaling pathway. Among the five major apple polyphenols, epicatechin had the strongest inhibitory effect. The binding of epicatechin to the constitutive epitopes arginine led to changes in the spatial structure of Ara h 1, which resulted in the effective linear epitopes reduction. Modification of peanut allergens with polyphenols could effectively reduce the sensitization of peanut protein.

The Power of Being a Heretic: The Forgotten Visionary Jane Ellen Harrison on Critical Thinking, Emotional Imagination, and How to Rehumanize the World "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

If we are to be true and worthy heretics, we need not only new heads, but new hearts, and, most of all, that new emotional imagination begotten of enlarged sympathies and a more sensitive habit of feeling.


The Power of Being a Heretic: The Forgotten Visionary Jane Ellen Harrison on Critical Thinking, Emotional Imagination, and How to Rehumanize the World

When the Inquisition persecuted Galileo for advancing the rude truth that Earth is not the center of the universe, the charge against him was heresy the same charge on which Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for her crusade for political reform. We have had many words for heretics over the epochs rebels, radicals, freethinkers but they have always been the ones to dislodge humanity from the stagnation of the status quo, to illuminate our blind spots, dismantle our unexamined biases, and jolt us out of our herd mentality. Without those devoted to seeing reality more clearly and possibility more wildly, we would still live in a world haunted by superstition and governed by dogma.

The power and dignity of this most courageous human mindset is what the pioneering classicist Jane Ellen Harrison (September 9, 1850April 15, 1928), who brought the culture of Ancient Greece to the modern world, explores in her magnificent essay Heresy and Humanity, found in Alpha and Omega (public library) the out-of-print essay collection that gave us Harrison on the art of growing older, published just as humanity was being dehumanized by its first World War.

Pomegranate polyphenol punicalagin improves learning memory deficits, redox homeostasis, and neuroinflammation. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Phytother Res. 2023 Apr 24. Epub 2023 Apr 24. PMID: 37092799 Abstract Title:  Pomegranate polyphenol punicalagin improves learning memory deficits, redox homeostasis, and neuroinflammation in aging mice. Abstract:  Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder characterized by loss of memory and cognitive dysfunction in the aged. Despite remarkable advances in drug therapy, effective pharmacological interventions are rare. Punicalagin (PU) is an active antioxidant polyphenol found in pomegranates, raspberries, blueberries, and chestnuts that has attracted considerable attention owing to its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The current study focused on the neuroprotective effect of PU on aging mice and its potential mechanisms. In this study, we first evaluated the protective effect of PU on neuro-2a (N2a) cell damage mediated by BV2 microglia-induced neuroinflammation. The in vivo D-galactose (D-gal)-induced brain aging model demonstrated that PU ameliorated deficits in learning and memory and prevented neuroinflammation, which was evident from the decrease in microglial activation and astrocytosis. Furthermore, PU reduced the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1) in both accelerated aging and naturally senescent mouse models. PU effectively improved neuroinflammation, learning and memory deficits, and redox homeostasis in aging mice, and it could be a potential therapeutic agent for AD.

PMID:  J Exp Pharmacol. 2023 ;15:191-205. Epub 2023 Apr 15. PMID: 37090425 Abstract Title:  Pomegranate Seeds and Peel Ethanolic Extracts Anticancer Potentials and Related Genetic, Histological, Immunohistochemical, Apoptotic and Oxidative Stress Profiles: In vitro Study. Abstract:  INTRODUCTION: Owing to their great quantity of hydrolyzable anthocyanins and tannins, the peel and seeds of pomegranate are edible and possess potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics. This work aims to trace the pomegranate seed and peel ethanolic extracts' anticancer activity against liver cancer cell line, namely HepG2 and related histopathological, immunohistochemical, genetic and oxidative stress profile.METHODS: In vitro study for both seed and peel extract showed the prevalence of phenols, polyphenols and acids, those have anti-proliferative potential against liver cancer cell line (HepG2) with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of seed significantly reduced that of peel. Toxicity of test extracts was concentration dependent and accompanied with cell cycle arrest and cell death at theG0/G1 and S phases but not at the G2/M phase. Cell arrest was supplemented with raised ROS, MDA and decreased SOD, GSH and Catalase.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Apoptosis-related genes showed significant up-expression of pro-apoptotic gene (),,, andand down expression of anti-apoptotic gene (). Also, Casp-3 and P53 proteins were substantially expressed under the effect of test extracts. Histopathological study demonstrated that the untreated cells (control group) were regular cells with nuclear pleomorphism and hyperchromatic nuclei, while seed and peel extracts-treated cells showed necrosis, mixed euchromatin and heterochromatin, intra-nuclear eosinophilic structures, burst cell membranes, and the shrunken apoptotic cells with nuclear membranes and irregular cells. Finally,gene detected by immunohistochemistry was down regulated significantly under the effect of seed extract treatment than in case of cell medication with peel extract.

Pomegranate extract affects gut biofilm forming bacteria and promotes intestinal mucosal healing. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Nutrients. 2023 Apr 5 ;15(7). Epub 2023 Apr 5. PMID: 37049615 Abstract Title:  Pomegranate Extract Affects Gut Biofilm Forming Bacteria and Promotes Intestinal Mucosal Healing Regulating the Crosstalk between Epithelial Cells and Intestinal Fibroblasts. Abstract:  Pomegranate () can be used to prepare a bioactive extract exerting anti-inflammatory activities. Clinical studies demonstrated an improvement in clinical response in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients when pomegranate extract () was taken as a complement to standard medications. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its beneficial effects are still scarcely investigated. This study investigates the effect ofon bacterial biofilm formation and the promotion of mucosal wound healing.The acute colitis model was induced in C57BL/6N mice by 3% dextran sodium sulfate administration in drinking water for 5 days. During the recovery phase of colitis, mice received saline or(200 mg/kg body weight) by oral gavage for 11 days. Colitis was scored daily by evaluating body weight loss, bleeding, and stool consistency. In vivo intestinal permeability was evaluated by fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran assay, bacterial translocation was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization on tissues, whereas epithelial and mucus integrity were monitored by immunostaining for JAM-A and MUC-2 markers. Bacterial biofilm formation was assessed using microfluidic devices for 24 or 48 h. Primary fibroblasts were isolated from healthy and inflamed areas of 8 IBD patients, and Caco-2 cells were stimulated with or without(5g/mL). Inflammatory mediators were measured at the mRNA and protein level by RT-PCR, WB, or Bio-plex multiplex immunoassay, respectively.In vivo,boosted the recovery phase of colitis, promoting a complete restoration of the intestinal barrier with the regeneration of the mucus layer, as also demonstrated by the absence of bacterial spread into the mucosa and the enrichment of crypt-associated fibroblasts. Microfluidic experiments did not highlight a specific effect ofonbiofilm formation, even thoughbiofilm was slightly impaired in the presence of. In vitro, inflamed fibroblasts responded toby downregulating the release of metalloproteinases, IL-6, and IL-8 and upregulating the levels of HGF. Caco-2 cells cultured in a medium supplemented withincreased the expression ofand, whereas in the presence of HGF or plated with a fibroblast-conditioned medium, they displayed a decrease inandexpression and an increase in, a negative regulator of Wnt signaling.These data provide new insight into the manifold effects ofon promoting mucosal homeostasis in IBD by affecting pathogen biofilm formation and favoring the regeneration of the intestinal barrier through the regulation of the crosstalk between epithelial and stro...

Pomegranate peel extract protects against the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Front Pharmacol. 2023 ;14:1166653. Epub 2023 Mar 28. PMID: 37056985 Abstract Title:  Pomegranate peel extract protects against the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy in rats by inhibiting pyroptosis and downregulating LncRNA-MALAT1. Abstract:  Pyroptosis is an inflammatory programmed cell death accompanied by activation of inflammasomes and maturation of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1(IL-1) and IL-18. Pyroptosis is closely linked to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC). Pomegranate peel extract (PPE) exhibits a cardioprotective effect due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the protective effect of PPE on the myocardium in a rat model of DC and determine the underlying molecular mechanism.Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The rats in the treated groups received (150 mg/kg) PPE orally and daily for 8 weeks. The effects on the survival rate, lipid profile, serum cardiac troponin-1, lipid peroxidation, and tissue fibrosis were assessed. Additionally, the expression of pyroptosis-related genes (NLRP3 and caspase-1) and lncRNA-MALAT1 in the heart tissue was determined. The PPE was analyzed using UPLC-MS/MS and NMR for characterizing the phytochemical content.Prophylactic treatment with PPE significantly ameliorated cardiac hypertrophy in the diabetic rats and increased the survival rate. Moreover, prophylactic treatment with PPE in the diabetic rats significantly improved the lipid profile, decreased serum cardiac troponin-1, and decreased lipid peroxidation in the myocardial tissue. Histopathological examination of the cardiac tissues showed a marked reduction in fibrosis (decrease in collagen volume and number of TGF--positive cells) and preservation of normal myocardial structures in the diabetic rats treated with PPE. There was a significant decrease in the expression of pyroptosis-related genes (NLRP3 and caspase-1) and lncRNA-MALAT1 in the heart tissue of the diabetic rats treated with PPE. In addition, the concentration of IL-1and caspase-1 significantly decreased in the heart tissue of the same group. The protective effect of PPE on diabetic cardiomyopathy could be due to the inhibition of pyroptosis and downregulation of lncRNA-MALAT1. The phytochemical analysis of the PPE indicated that the major compounds were hexahydroxydiphenic acid glucoside, caffeoylquinic acid, gluconic acid, citric acid, gallic acid, and punicalagin.PPE exhibited a cardioprotective potential in diabetic rats due to its unique antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties and its ability to improve the lipid profile. The protective effect of PPE on DC could be due to the inhibition of the NLRP3/caspase-1/IL-1signaling pathway...

Landscaping to Enhance Passive Solar Design "IndyWatch Feed Diy"

The role of landscaping in passive solar building design can play a crucial part in maximizing shade and solar gain. By carefully planning and positioning landscape elements, homeowners can create outdoor spaces that work in harmony with the suns natural patterns, resulting in energy-efficient buildings that are comfortable year-round.

One of the primary goals of passive solar design is to take advantage of the suns energy to heat and cool a building naturally. This is achieved by orienting the building to maximize solar gain in the winter and minimize it in the summer. Landscaping can play a significant role in this process by providing shade and directing airflow around the building.

Deciduous trees, which lose their leaves in the winter, can be strategically placed to block the suns rays during the hot summer months while allowing sunlight to penetrate and warm the building in the winter. Evergreen trees, on the other hand, can be used to create windbreaks that protect the building from cold winter winds.

In addition to trees, tall grasses and shrubs can be planted near windows to provide shade and reduce glare. Vines and climbing plants can be used to create living walls that insulate the building and help regulate temperature. Pergolas and trellises can be incorporated into the landscape to provide shade and create outdoor living spaces that are comfortable even during the hottest months of the year.

Another critical aspect of passive solar landscaping is the use of reflective surfaces. Light-colored materials, such as gravel or light-colored paving stones, can be used to reflect sunlight onto the building, increasing solar gain in the winter. Conversely, dark-colored materials can be used to absorb heat and reduce solar gain in the summer.

Water features can also play a role in passive solar landscaping. Ponds, pools, and fountains can help cool the surrounding air through evaporation, creating a more comfortable microclimate around the building. They can also be used to store heat during the day and release it at night, helping to maintain a stable temperature inside the building.

The benefits of passive solar landscaping extend beyond energy efficiency and comfort. A well-designed landscape can also increase property values, improve air quality, and support local biodiversity. Furthermore, incorporating green spaces and natural elements into the built environment can have a positive impact on mental health and well-being.

As climate change continues to impact our world, the importance of sustainable design practices, such as pas...

Citrus essential oils: A rational view on its chemical profiles, mode of action of anticancer effects. "IndyWatch Feed Health"

PMID:  Cell Biochem Biophys. 2023 Jun ;81(2):189-203. Epub 2023 Apr 22. PMID: 37086387 Abstract Title:  Citrus Essential Oils: A Rational View on its Chemical Profiles, Mode of Action of Anticancer Effects/Antiproliferative Activity on Various Human Cancer Cell Lines. Abstract:  Cancer is a complex genetic disorder due to uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body, causes damage to the immune system, and may lead to life-threatening situations. Common approaches to cancer treatment includes chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy etc. Development of novel and natural chemotherapeutic agents is highly demanded because of the side effects of synthetic drugs. Essential oils from aromatic plants exhibited antioxidant, antimutagenic, antiproliferative and immunomodulating activities. Mechanism of multidrug resistance and synergistic action of these volatile constituents are responsible for their chemopreventive properties. These oils primarily comprising of terpenoid constituents and are characterized by volatility, aroma, low molecular weight etc. The chemical composition of these oils varies depending on the environmental condition, species, plant part and geographical region. Literature analysis revealed that plant essential oils play an important role in cancer prevention and treatment. Cancer patients exposed to essential oils via inhaler devices were found to have less anxiety, stress, and nausea and insomnia. Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for investigating the biological properties of aromatic plants due to their availability, chemical diversity, and low toxicity. In aromatherapy, Citrus essential oils repress cancer related pain and enhance immune system. Current review summarizes existing variability of the chemical composition of Citrus essential oils and its molecular level anticancer mechanism against various human cancer cell lines. Citrus essential oils enhance cytotoxicity, antiproliferative and apoptotic behavior of cancer cell lines. Since essential oils exhibiting significant anticancer potential is worthy of further investigation for cancer chemoprevention. The findings of various research activities can be exploited by cancer researchers world wide for the development of anticancer drugs which can relieve cancer symptoms.

Biden Approves Banned Cluster Bombs For Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed Survival"

United States ruler Joe Biden has approved sending banned cluster bombs to Ukraine with NATOs (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) support. Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of NATO also doesnt see a problem with internationally banned cluster munitions as long as its the U.S. or its allies that deploy them.

If anyone but Ukraine or the U.S. were to deploy cluster bombs, NATO would have a big problem with it. As ZeroHedge noted, if cluster bombs were being deployed by Russia or official U.S. enemies, NATO would condemn it (and has in the past). But becasue the Biden administration is now reportedly moving forward with sending cluster munitions to Ukraine, Stoltenberg has said that NATO does not have a position on them as some allies have signed up to prohibit their use.

Prior Washington hesitation on sending cluster bombs stems from the fact that some 120 countries have banned cluster munitions as they have long been understood to be more indiscriminate than conventional weapons, given they randomly disperse small bombs over large areas. ZeroHedge

When Biden was asked why the ruling class thought the cluster bombs were necessary, he said: We are facing a brutal war, and we have to remember this brutality is reflected, that every day we see...
