Man Wins the Lottery 14 Times Using a Simple System of Basic Math "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Man Wins the Lottery 14 Times Using a Simple System of Basic Math

The chances of winning the lottery are one in a million. But not for Stefan Mandel. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Romanian-Australian economist managed to win the lottery an astounding 14 times. Everything he did was perfectly legal and all it took was some simple calculations.
Mandel was born in Romania and his first two wins came in his home country. He was spurred to win the lottery to collect enough money to move his family out of the then-Communist country. To do so, he developed an ingenious system. First, he looked at different lotteries to see how many different combinations were needed to cover every possible draw.
For instance, if a particular lottery plays numbers 1 to 40 and requires a six-number combination to win, there are 3,838,380 possible outcomes. Mandel realized that sometimes purchasing enough tickets to cover every combination cost less than the potential jackpot. For instance, if the jackpot was $10 million and tickets cost $1, someone could buy all the tickets up and guarantee themselves a win, as well as a handsome profit. All he needed to do was raise enough capital to buy the tickets.
This is how he began forming lottery syndicates, where investors put in money to purchase lottery tickets, and the winnings were split. His first win using this system earned him a $19,000 jackpot, of which he pocketed $3,700. While that might not seem like much, it was enough to move his family out of Romania and settle down in Australia.
While in Australia, he won a staggering 12 jackpots, plus many other smaller prizes. Mandel set up larger and larger syndicates, all while staying within the rules and regulations of the game. At the time, it was legal to print tickets at home, which allowed Mandel to purchase millions of tickets and automate a way to fill in the different combinations.
After big wins in the...

Sweet Boy Stops to Hug Every Stray Dog He Passes on His Way to School "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Sweet Boy Stops to Hug Every Stray Dog He Passes on His Way to School
Photo: Screenshot from Facebook
Many people's routines would vastly improve if they got to hug a dog on their way to work or school. A boy named Ibrahim is leading by example, and in doing so, he has warmed the hearts of thousands around the globe. In a moving video posted on Facebook, the kid is seen stopping on his way to school to embrace a couple of stray dogs in Grozny, Chechnya.
The 30-second clip is a powerful statement of a boy's love for all canines. Filmed in 2021 by a resident in a nearby building, the footage begins with the boy giving a dog a hug, and petting the pooch's friend with a smile on his face. After walking away, Ibrahim seems to change his mind and quickly retraces his steps to give the first dog an even longer, tender embrace.
The sweetest aspect of this is that Ibrahim thinks no one is watching, and hes just being his truest, most loving self. It is unclear if this is the first time he encountered the dogs, or if he knows their story and believes they could use a hug on a chilly morning. Whatever the case, his love for the creatures is palpable.
For those who know Ibrahim, this is just another example of his goodness. I saw the video. Thats Ibrahim, Katerina, a friend of Ibrahims family, told The Dodo. He goes to school with my daughter and helps her carry her bag. Hes a very kind boy.
If there's one take away from Ibrahim's actions, it is that something as simple as a hug can brighten someone's dayand it goes both ways. You never know how many people you may be inspiring by simply sharing your love with the world.

Synthetix (SNX) Up By 35% In Anticipation Of New Decentralized Exchange "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
SNX, the native token of the Synthetix Network, has been on the rise, gaining more than 35% in the past week. The cryptocurrency continues to exhibit strong bullish momentum, having registered a positive market performance over the past few weeks.
SNXs recent price surge has been linked to the positive sentiment surrounding the Synthetix network. A few days ago, the protocol announced its plan to release a new decentralized exchange (DEX).
Synthetix Token Tallies 35% In One Week Price Overview
The cryptocurrency market experienced a jolt of positivity after the long-running battle between payments and technology firm Ripple the company behind XRP and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) came to a positive conclusion on Thursday. US District Judge Annalisa Torres delivered a landmark judgment declaring the XRP token as non-security, thereby granting a decisive triumph for Ripple.
However, unlike other cryptocurrencies, the price of SNX barely reacted to this piece of news. The tokens value increased by a mere 5% following the announcement of the courts decision.
SNX did experience a surge of its own the following day. On Friday, July 14, the tokens price jumped by nearly 40%, touching the $3 level before retracing back to $2.5.
As of this writing, the Synthetix token is valued at $2.82, with an 8% price increase in the last 24 hours. With a market cap of $903.4 million, SNX ranks as the 47th-biggest cryptocurrency, according to CoinGecko data.
The recent increase in SNXs price is believed to have been triggered by the announcement of a new Synthetix trading product. In a blogpost released on Friday, the protocols founder Kain Warwick unveiled plans to introduce a new derivatives front-end called Infinex.
What Is Infinex?
Infinex is a new derivatives front-end to the decentralized trading infrastructure of Synthetix. The exchange is expected to be an improvement on the already-existing Kwenta, Synthetixs derivatives decentralized exchange on Optimism.
According to Kain Warwick, Infinex will remove the impediments to the growth of Synthetixs decentralized trading ecosystem. Firstly, it will address the inconvenience of acquiring sUSD, Synthetixs stablecoin, to begin trading on Kwenta. Also, it will eliminate the need to sign every action on th...

Copernicus Lost Secret: The Quantity Theory Of Money "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
This is an opinion editorial by Bitcoin Graffiti, a software developer and graffiti artist.
"Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place."
In the annals of history, Nicholas Copernicus is celebrated as the groundbreaking astronomer who toppled the geocentric view and unveiled the heliocentric model, placing the sun at the center of our solar system. However, there is a lesser-known facet of Copernicus' genius that remains shrouded in obscurity: his profound contributions to monetary thought.
While his astronomical achievements have captivated generations, his insights into the nature of money and its effects on economies have largely been overlooked.
As the medieval era drew to a close, marked by transformative inventions like the Gutenberg printing press and the disruptive force of gunpowder, Copernicus's groundbreaking work challenged not only the prevailing astronomical beliefs but also the accepted notions of money.
The emergence of the printing press ushered in an era of unprecedented knowledge dissemination, gradually eroding the information monopoly of the Catholic Church. Concurrently, the widespread adoption of gunpowder rendered knights and their armor powerless, signifying the decline of the feudal system. Amid this backdrop of change, Copernicus emerged as a visionary, his mathematical calculations eventually proving that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
While we may look back on our geocentric ancestors and marvel at their supposed ignorance, we must acknowledge that most of us are quite incapable of proving the heliocentrism ourselves. We generally accept the current belief. If that is true, mustn't there be obvious things we could be missing today? What if our assumptions about money, the lifeblood of economies, are flawed as well and the study of economics is still in its infantile stage? Perhaps, just as Copernicus shattered the prevailing astronomical narrative, we are on the cusp of an intellectual revolution that will expose the shortcomings of contemporary monetary belief.
It is here, amid these profound reflections, that Copernicus' hidden expertise in monetary matters resurfaces. Unbeknownst to many, this visionary mind not only revolutionized our understanding of the heavens but also made lasting contributions to the field of monetary thought.

Iranian University Ban: Women's Stand Against Mandatory Hijab "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Female university students were barred from universities in Iran after refusing to follow the countrys mandatory hijab laws. This resulted in sham disciplinary hearings, class suspensions, and threats of being given zero grades.

The Guardian (@guardian) July 10, 2023
Around 60 female university students have already been suspended and barred from their universities for refusing to obey the Islamic Republics mandatory hijab laws and supporting the ongoing revolution that sparked after the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022.
Videos circulated on social media showed disciplinary committees and pro-government civilians harassing women and girls in streets, university campuses, and subway stations. Female university students defied this harassment by uploading clips of themselves not wearing a headscarf on social media.

A Filipina drag performer stirred controversy after a viral performance at a local bar where she dressed up as Jesus Christ and worship song, sparking a heated debate on where to draw the line between expression and mockery, especially in a country like the Philippines, where around 79% of the population identify as Catholic.

Her worship song Ama Namin (translates to Our Father in Filipino), which the crowd danced and partied to while watching her perform.
The video was uploaded on July 10th on Vegas Twitter account, with the caption, Thank you for coming to church!

Quran Burning Sparks Global Response: UN Makes Shocking Move "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
In response to the most recent Quran-burning incident in Sweden, where an Iraqi immigrant burned the religious book in front of a mosque in Stockholm last June, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) adopted a resolution on July 12th on religious hatred, condemning the acts of burning the Islamic holy book in Sweden.
UN: Quran burning is hate speech designed to incite https://t.co/tdyfQyjd4j pic.twitter.com/9KTGTFqyvT
The Guardian Nigeria (@GuardianNigeria) July 12, 2023
Introduced by Pakistan on behalf of the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the resolution urged the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to draft a report on religious hatred and called on countries to review their laws and close legal loopholes that may "impede the prevention and prosecution of acts and advocacy of religious hatred."
The resolution was highly divisive since several states, primarily Western countries, decided not to back the proposal due to fears that it might infringe on freedom of speech and expression. Still, that did not prevent the human rights body from adopting the resolution. Among the councils 47 members, 28 voted in favor of the resolution, 12 voted against it, and 7 chose to abstain.

The Hijab Ban That's Shaking French Soccer "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
France's highest administrative court ruled on June 29th that the countrys soccer federation has the right to ban players from wearing headscarves during matches, even if the action means limiting their freedom of expression.
Frances highest administrative jurisdiction says the country's soccer federation is entitled to ban headscarves in matches. https://t.co/YwoqABk0DL
AP Sports (@AP_Sports) June 29, 2023
The Council of State made this decision after a group of soccer players that wear religious headscarves, called Les Hijabeuses in French, referring to the hijab or religious headscarf in Islam, launched a campaign against the French Football Federation (FFF) and took legal action against their ban.
The court said that sports federations in France may impose on their players an obligation to wear neutral clothing during sporting competitions and events, in order to guarantee the smooth running of matches and prevent clashes or confrontation. It considers that the ban imposed by the FFF is appropriate and proportionate.
The ruling sparked a new debate on the principle of lacit in France, which is upheld by many French laws, such as Article 1 of the French Constitution and the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and State. This principle is commonly interpreted as discouraging the participation of religion in government affairs and vice versa.
Sport is sport, not propaganda
JMPRM (@JMPRMfb) June 29, 2023
This principle was not only applied in sports but also in applying for French citizenship, when an Algerian woman was denied naturalization in 2018 after refusing to shake the hand of a senior French official, using her "religious beliefs" as justification.
The French Football Federation currently prohibits players from wearing headscarves and other religious symbols during official matches and in competitions it organizes. This ban does not follow recommendations from the global soccer governing body FIFA, which allows players to wear headscarves during international matches.
In response to the ruling, the French Foot...

When I was growing up that was my parents mantra. That when I was an adult I was responsible for myself.
I started working when I was 15 and I attended a state college that I received a scholarship from. I graduated with only $7,500 debt and my job out of university came with a recruitment bonus that paid that off.
My brother didnt get the same talk. Our parents bought him a car when he was 16. He is smart and was accepted to a prestigious university. But no scholarship. And my parents earn enough that he does not qualify for financial aid.
I make a good living now and my parents and brother want me to help him out. The thing is he has a scholarship to a state school. He could just not go to an Ivy. But thats not good enough for them.
I reminded them what they always told me. They are mad that Im not willing to sacrifice my life to help another adult.

According to a thread this morning by the projects official Twitter handle, Archblock Inc., the current TUSD operator, has begun the transfer of total control of Token to its Asian-based owners, Techteryx Ltd.
Techteryx Finally Assumes Control Of TrueUSD
Back in December 2020, Techteryx acquired ownership of TUSD but hired Archblock to keep maintaining the stablecoins operations. And for the last two years in which Archblock remained TUSDs operator, Techteryx claims to have been focusing on expanding the tokens foreign use cases in the global markets.

However, Archblock has now commenced the transfer of control yesterday, July 13, marking the end phase of TUSDs international transition. Upon completion, Techteryx will reportedly assume full management of all aspects of the stablecoins operation.
These controls will include mining and redemptions, customer onboarding and compliance, conservation of fiat reserve, and maintenance of banking and fiduciary relationships.
During the transition period, Archblock will continue to support the US-based TUSD users, with Techteryx stepping in with the necessary guidance and further updates.
Prior to todays news, TUSD has attracted some interest especially following Binances recent moves with the stablecoin. On June 21, the cryptocurrency exchange announced the launch of a TUSD zero-maker fee promotion for spot and margin trading pairs beginning from June 30.
Interestingly, Binance had minted $1 billion worth of TUSD on the Tron network a week before making that announcement becoming the largest holder of the token.

And now its up to you to decide if you think this woman acted like an a**hole toward her husband.

AITA for asking my husband what did he expect after our daughter (3F) asked him when he was going home?
My husband travels for work and regularly works long hours so our children dont see him every day and they go weeks without seeing him in person sometimes. We had a fight over it recently so hes been home a lot more.
Our daughter asked him yesterday when he was going home. Shes 3 and shes convinced herself that he doesnt live with us and he only visits sometimes because he isnt here everyday like I am.
My husband was upset, especially since he couldnt convince her he really did live here, and he brought it up before we went to bed because he felt I shouldve done more to make her realise he did live here and he couldnt always be home because he was working.
I asked him what did he expect and he said I was kicking him while he was already down. Hes also blaming me partly for the situation because Im the reason we dont live in the same city as their HQ and hes been angry with me all day.

They Put Conditions on a Family Vacation With Their Kids. Are They Wrong? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Family vacations can really go off the rails sometimes, huh?
You know thats the truth!
When you get all those different personalities together, theres bound to be ugliness.
So is this parent wrong for putting conditions on a family vacation with their kids?
Check out their story below and see what you think.
AITA for putting conditions on a family vacation?
I planned a family vacation with my 7, 9 and 18yo sons to Bora Bora for 13 days in June.
My 18 yo asked of he could bring his girlfriend of a year Danielle and he was surprised that I said yes. Of course he asked after finding out he would end up with his own detached room. Theyre both graduating high school in a couple of weeks too.
I dont mind spending most of my time with the 7yo and 10yo boys. I wouldnt mind having some me time though. Im sharing a lot of space with them including a bed.
I told my 18yo that Im expecting him and his girlfriend to do some babysitting on the trip seeing that Im paying for her to go. Its not going to be all Baywatch for them. My 18yo is angry for me even asking.
I said Id be cleaning the floors if I was 18 and was allowed to bring my girlfriend to paradise for two weeks. Danielle is fine with it but my son is not.

Why Ripples Victory Against The SEC May Be Short-Lived: Legal Expert "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
The news of Ripples recent partial victory against the SEC after a legal battle spanning almost three years sent a ripple of joy around the entire crypto industry. However, according to a legal expert on Twitter, Lawyer Bryan Jacoutot, the victory might be short-lived as SEC has enough grounds to appeal the decision and drag this thing out for a lot longer.
The SECs Lawsuit Against Ripple Labs
The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs in December 2020, alleging that Ripple had conducted an unregistered securities offering worth over $1.3 billion through the sale of XRP. According to the SEC, XRP is a security under federal securities laws. But the court determined on June 13 that the random programmatic sale of XRP to regular investors does not constitute the sale of an unregistered security under Howey.
However, sales to institutional investors fall under Howey, which is used in the United States to determine whether a transaction qualifies as an investment contract. In this case, the Court found that the buyers couldnt know who was selling them the XRP, unlike the institutional investors who would expect Ripple Labs to use the capital for the betterment of the Ripple ecosystem.
According to Jacoutot, the Courts reasoning is weak and Howey was misapplied in the case. The Court reasoned that regular investors bought XRP fully knowing that it is subject to the general cryptocurrency market trends, especially secondary sales of XRP tokens. However, Jacoutot believes those buying XRP would have also expected to make a profit from the efforts of Ripple Labs.
The attorney also made a case of the Ethereum Foundation, as everyone who took part in the pre-sale of ETH knew they were buying from Ethereum Foundation. When looking at the XRP ruling in a similar manner, this would mean institutional investors of the ETH presale also bought unregistered securities.
What Does The Ruling Mean?
According to Jacoutot, the ruling opens up a few loopholes that can be exploited. In a tweet by attorney Joe Carlasare on Twitter, it explains that the logic of the ruling leaves an opening that can be used to lawfully launch a pyramid scheme. In this case, profits from the programmatic sales to retail investors can be distributed to institutional investors.

Robert Temple: The Sirius Mystery, Revisited "IndyWatch Feed Uncanny"
Convincing evidence that the Egyptian, Sumerian, and Dogon
civilizations were founded by aliens from the Sirius star system
who are now ready to return
Updated with 140 pages of new scientific evidence that solidifies
the hypothesis that the KGB, CIA, and NASA attempted to
suppress
An awe-inspiring work of research that calls for a profound
reappraisal of our role in the universe
Over 10,000 copies sold in its first two months of release in
Britain
Publication of The Sirius Mystery in 1976 set the world abuzz with
talk of an extraterrestrial origin to human civilization and
triggered a 15-year persecution campaign against Robert Temple by
the KGB, CIA, NASA, and other government agencies. Undaunted,
however, Temple is back, with 140 pages of new scientific evidence
that makes his hypothesis more compelling than ever.
Many authors have speculated on the subject of extraterrestrial
contact, but never before has such detailed evidence been
presented. Temple applies his in-depth knowledge of ancient
history, mythology, Pythagorean physics, chaos theory, and Greek,
to a close examination of the measurements of the Great Pyramid of
Giza, which was built to align directly with the star Sirius. He
concludes that the alien civilization of Sirius and our own
civilization are part of the same harmonic system, and are destined
to function and resonate together. His findings warrant a profound
reappraisal of our role in the universe.
Robert Temple is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, the
Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, the Egyptian
Exploration Society, the Royal Historical Society, the Institute of
Classical Studies, and the Institute of Historical Research. He is
the author of nine books, including Conversations with Eternity and
The Genius of China. Most recently he and his wife, Olivia,
published The Complete Fables of Aesop to international acclaim. He
lives in London.

People in a Pennsylvania Town Filled the Streets to Say Goodbye to a Neighborhood Dog on His Last Walk "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
FYI, friends, this story is a real tearjerker.
A man named Kevin in Dupont, Pennsylvania passed out flyers to people to let them know about Mellows Last Walk Around Dupont: his beloved pooch Mellow was terminally ill with cancer and Kevin decided to take him on one final walk around town for a grand send-off.

The flyer Kevin passed out said, My name is Mellow, and I have been living in Dupont since September 2019 with my owner Kevin.

Is He Wrong for Not Letting His Stepdaughter Move Back Into His House? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
I dont know about you, but I dont know how crazy Id be about an adult kid moving back into my household
But every situation is different!
And now its up to you to read this guys story to see if you think hes acting like an a**hole.
Get started now!
AITA for not letting my stepdaughter (24F) move back into my house?
My stepdaughter and her boyfriend broke up recently and she wants somewhere else to stay for a few months until her lease ends since she doesnt want to keep living with her ex.
However, my wife and I have two little ones (3F and 6F) and she is a terrible influence on them. She always tries to have friends over and theyre always loud and shouting in her bedroom when its past the kids bedtimes.
Shes come home late drunk and triggered our home alarms because shes too wasted to turn them off. I have to remind her multiple times to do her chores and its just aggravating to have to do for an entire adult human.
The last straw last time was when one of the little ones had a medical emergency so we took her to the ER directly from school and asked her to watch the younger one since the babysitter had to leave. When we came back she was drunk and couldnt understand why I was so mad since my daughter went to sleep as normal anyways.
My wife keeps asking me to reconsider letting her stay with us but Ive p...

Ark Invest Sells Over $50 Million Worth of Coinbase Shares Amidst Stock Rally "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Cathie Woods investment firm, Ark Invest, has made significant moves in its holdings of Coinbase shares, selling over $50 million worth of shares as the cryptocurrency exchanges stock continues to surge.
This marked the second time in a week that Ark Invest reduced its stake in Coinbase, reflecting its active management approach amid a backdrop of regulatory developments and industry optimism.
At the same time, Ark Invest has been actively investing in other notable companies, including Meta Platforms and Robinhood.
Ark Invest Cashes In on Coinbase Rally
Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, sold a total of 478,356 shares of Coinbase on Friday, amounting to more than $50 million. The sales were spread across Arks flagship fund, Ark Innovation ETF, which sold 263,247 shares, Ark Next Generation Internet ETF, which sold 93,227 shares, and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF, which offloaded 121,882 shares.
This decision comes on the heels of Coinbases role as a surveillance-sharing partner for several spot Bitcoin ETF applicants, including industry giants BlackRock and Fidelity. Furthermore, recent legal rulings surrounding the status of the cryptocurrency XRP have added to the overall industry optimism.
However, despite the sales, Ark Invest remains the second-largest owner of Coinbase shares, holding a 6.30% stake.
Looking To The Future With Meta Platforms and Robinhood
While reducing its Coinbase holdings, Ark Invest has also been actively investing in other crypto-adjacent companies. The firm initiated purchases of shares in Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) and Robinhood. In June, Ark Innovation ETF acquired 69,793 Meta shares, while Ark Fintech Innovation ETF purchased 111,843 shares of Robinhood.
Additionally, the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF increased its holdings with 12,559 Meta shares and 169,116 Robinhood shares. These strategic investments reflect Ark Invests ongoing strategy to navigate the evolving digital asset market.
Ark Invests decision to trim its Coinbase holdings after significant acquisitions during market volatility and regulatory challenges demonstrates a calculated approach to secure profits amid the stocks impressive rally this year and indicates a calculated effort to secure profits during the stocks rally.
Also, it demonstrates the firms commitment to diversifying its portfolio for long-term growth potential, as evidenced by its investments in Meta Platforms and Robinhood.
As the crypto market continues to evolve, Ark Invests actions will be closely watched by...

Cloud of Paradox "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Cloud of Paradox
Everything changes and nothing ever remains
Even the tear thats supposed to leave a stain
I just cant seem to get out of the rain
The losses are great with minimal gains,
Looking back onto the fool I was
One good intention led to another because
He who talks but theres nothing he ever does
A soldier who goes to battle no beard just peach fuzz,
Although its just another day
Got to keep from feeling swept away
The past and the present always in a fray
In the midst of the confusion I get on my knees and pray,
Is there any hope left in this world of woe?
Will there be one last final blow?
Even the wisest among us dont really know
The silence of new fallen snow,
Is there any way to pull out of this death spiral dive?
On this blue planet where life thrives
Evil world leaders grasping for long knives
I fear theres only a miracle that can revive,
Where did you go my littl...

The Wondrous Birds of the Himalayas and the Forgotten Victorian Woman Whose Illustrations Rewilded the Western Imagination "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Bridging Blake and Darwin with a single-hair brush.
Elizabeth Gould (July 18, 1804August 15, 1841) found working as a governess miserably-wretched dull. Artistically and musically gifted, boundlessly curious about the world, she had grown up painting and collecting specimens. Now in her early twenties, she felt life must have more to offer than the lonely occupation of looking after small children with whom one cannot communicate a single thought or feeling.
By twenty-four, Elizabeth had met and married the young taxidermist John Gould, himself a man of broader dreams passionate about birds, he yearned to become a respected ornithologist, not a mere decorator of Victorian parlors and museums. He knew that the pathway to professional respect was a book, and he knew that it had to be accurately, consummately illustrated.
To support her husbands aspiration, Elizabeth set out to build on her talent and master the art of natural history illustration, painting Johns taxidermy specimens with growing fidelity to life that made the stuffed dead birds come alive on the page. To learn lithography the same thrilling new technology that, elsewhere in England, William Blake was mastering to make his myth she began taking lessons with the young polymathic artist and poet Edward Lear, a friend of the family.
When John got access to a Zoological Society package of bird specimens from the Himalayas in 1830 many never before seen by European eyes, some never before described in scientific literature he immediately knew this was to be the book with which to make his mark.
As she labored to illustrate it, Elizabeth painstakingly painted the minutest details with a single-hair brush.

Well, apparently this woman had to try to set her mom straight because she wants her brothers treated the same way as her.

AITA for telling my mom to treat my brothers the same way I am?
I (22F) have two brothers for the sake of this post Ill call them John (18M) and Terry (16M).
My mom (50F) has always had a stronger liking towards both John and Terry, ever since they were little they could do no harm in her eyes.
Since I was little I would always get in trouble for everything John and Terry did, if they hurt each other it was my fault, if they did something wrong it was my fault etc. My mom always raised me as a caregiver, I had to basically take care of my little brothers, I was the one cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing their clothes, buying them stuff they needed, helping them with their homework etc.
However, due to me always doing everything for them, they have become the most useless human beings on the entire earth. They are almost adults and still wont do their own laundry, wont help with the cooking, wont clean anything that they made a mess and are just overall grubs, leaving their dirty tissues and clothes everywhere.

Fujifilm X-S20 Review: Making the Case as the Best Camera Under $1,500 "IndyWatch Feed Photography"
We finally did it! We reviewed the Fujifilm X-S20 after a very long wait. I fell in love with the original X-S10 when it first came out because it represented a departure from the design stylings of Fujifilm. It also added IBIS to the camera at a price that created excellent value for the dollar. Now the new X-S20 is in our hands, and we take it through its paces.

Watch Giant Cats Attack Train Sets at This Quirky Japanese Restaurant "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Watch Giant Cats Attack Train Sets at This Quirky Japanese Restaurant
Photo: Screenshot from YouTube
In popular culture, Japan is home to some very large creatures like Godzilla and Mothra. If you visit the Diorama Restaurant in Osaka, Japan, you will find giant cats as well. The charming eatery, which doubles as a cat shelter, is home to beautiful scale models of landscapes and tiny towns which appear to be overrun by large felines. As if that weren't enticing enough, the restaurant also features a miniature train that goes around the locale, although its rides are rarely free of incidents. A small camera attached to the train captures the many ways these trips are interrupted by seemingly monumental kitties.
It is incredibly entertaining to see the (very-normal-sized) cats interact with the miniature train as it travels around the grassy hills of the restaurant. The true magic of the experience, however, lies in seeing the point-of-view footage of these epic rides. Sometimes, the train bumps into a sleepy cat who, despite seeing the convoy coming in, doesn't want to move from its snuggly spot. Other times, a feline silently prowls the train until an off-camera force turns it on its side. Since every cat's personality differs, it adds a layer of adrenaline to each trip.
Due to the nature of the place, the Diorama Restaurant is reservation-only. The Diorama Cafeteria is open in three parts, with lunchtime, tea time, and time spent together, reads their website. There is no difference in the service contents except for the contents of the meal each time. Occasionally, a free slot will open up, so you can check their Twitter to snag a same-day reservation.
If you're too far away from Japan but still want to be up to date with these giant cats' shenanigans, you can follow the Diorama Restaurant on...

Artist Enhances His Original Drawings by Openly Embracing AI as Creative Tool [Interview] "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Artist Enhances His Original Drawings by Openly Embracing AI as Creative Tool [Interview]
While many artists are running from AI, digital artist Cy Teh has embraced its creative possibilities. By blending his digital drawings with AI, he's creating unique mixed-media artworks that have taken his artistry to a new level.
As opposed to some creators who have hidden their use of this technology, Teh is very transparent about his creative process. Even his Instagram bio says: Digital Artist + AI. Additionally, all of Teh's posts are accompanied by a caption that clearly explains that the images are a combination of his hand-drawn work and AI.
I will keep moving forward and learning the good parts of each field, the captions continue. I hope to share the fun with you through this platform. If it offends you. I sincerely apologize to you here.
Teh's evocative work speaks to the best of AI and the way it can be used by people to enhance creativity rather than to steal ideas or fool the public. His haunting portraits of young and old men and women are mesmerizing, making the viewer wonder what the story is behind the artwork.
It's these human aspects that take Teh's digital art far beyond what we're used to seeing with AI. This made us curious to chat with him about his use of the technology and how it's been received by the public. Read on for My Modern Met's exclusive interview.

Sound of Freedom Is Hard to Watch. Heres Why We Need to See It Anyway. "IndyWatch Feed Survival"
The movie Sound of Freedom was both one of the best and worst movies Ive ever seen. Best because the story was interesting, the protagonists were likable and engaging, and the plot moved quickly. But the worst part is that it was also very hard to watch because I went into the theater knowing that the movie is largely true.
The movie starts off with the kidnapping of a brother and sister from Honduras by a young woman posing as a talent agent. You then see the American Homeland Security agent, Tim Ballard, recover the little boy. After the little boys rescue, he asks Tim if he can find his sister, too, and most of the movie involves Tim trying to find out what happened to the little girl.
Its an action story of a man trying to put a family back together; its also a story of Tim Ballards personal journey in leaving the security of a government job to do what he believes is right.
Heres some background.
I watched Jordan Petersons interview with both Tim Ballard and Jim Caviezel, who plays Tim in the movie, and I recommend it because it adds a bit of depth to what was going through Tims mind. Tims wife is only a very minor character in the movie, but in his interview with Jordan Peterson, Tim tells Jordan that she was actually one of the major drivers behind his actions.
Tim is a devout Mormon and had six children of his own at the time he was trying to track down the little girl from Honduras. When it became clear that trying to find her would mean leaving his government job, he tells Jordan he almost wanted his wife to tell him to just come home. Instead, she asked what hed do if one of their children was missing, and told him, Im not going to allow you to jeopardize my salvation by not doing this. Tims wife said she was willing to live in a tent if that was what it took for them to live with clean consciences.
Here are some key takeaways from Sound of Freedom.
This movie provided so much food for thought its hard to know where to start.
The movie, combined with the Jordan Peterson interview, struck me in that it really shows what a strong marriage...

Moral Compass: The Political Spectrum And Our Understandings Of Bitcoin "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
This is an opinion editorial by Dea Rezkitha, an Indonesian Bitcoin educator and podcast host.
In politics, individuals are often grouped into left and right wings, but the complexities go well beyond this simple dichotomy. To gain a deeper understanding of peoples beliefs and values, and ultimately how these will inform their outlook on Bitcoin, it is crucial to consider their social views as well. This is where a political compass comes into play, serving as a valuable tool for analysis.
What Is A Political Compass?
The political compass is a graphical representation of political ideologies that helps categorize individuals or groups based on their views on two main axes: economic policy (left-right) and social policy (authoritarian-libertarian). It provides a more nuanced understanding of political ideologies beyond the traditional left-right spectrum.
You can easily take the political compass test at this link.
The political compass allows for a more comprehensive understanding of political ideologies by incorporating both economic and social dimensions. It recognizes that political views cannot be easily reduced to a simple left-right spectrum and acknowledges the varying degrees of government intervention and social control that different ideologies advocate for.
The left-right axis reflects a spectrum of economic policy preferences. On the left side, you find ideologies that generally advocate for greater government intervention in the economy and more equitable distribution of wealth and resources. These ideologies may support policies such as progressive taxation, social welfare programs and government regulation of industries. They often prioritize social justice and reducing inequality.
On the right side, you find ideologies that favor less government intervention in the economy and emphasize individual freedom and free markets. These ideologies tend to support lower taxes, limited government regulation and free trade. They believe that economic prosperity is best achieved through minimal government interference and individual initiative.
The authoritarian-libertarian axis represents social policy preferences and the degree of government control over personal freedoms. Authoritarian ideologies advocate for a strong central authority that exercises control over various aspects of society. They may support strict law enforcement, censorship and limitations on individual rights in the name of maintaining social order and stability.
Libertarian ideologies, on the other hand, emphasize individual liberty and limited go...

Then when they pause and ask if Im still there, I say Yes, I was just waiting for you to finish. Takes the wind out of their sails every. time.

Dogecoin Engagement Fails To Impress, Raising Concerns About Broader Interest "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Is Dogecoin (DOGE losing its charm? Despite the impressive price rally in May, recent trends suggest a decline in engagement and investor interest. As the crypto market continues to evolve, concerns are mounting about the broader implications of Dogecoins waning appeal.
Dogecoins engagement metrics have faltered, leaving some experts wondering if the cryptos allure is wearing off. Market indicators show a decline in trading volume, with fewer transactions taking place compared to previous months.
Will this once-beloved digital currency be able to regain its momentum, or is its star beginning to fade?
Dogecoin New Addresses Stagnant
The growth of new addresses joining the Dogecoin community has hit a roadblock since May, according to a recent DOGE price report. However, on-chain data analysis reveals that this stagnation in new holders has not adversely affected the weighted sentiment associated with the cryptocurrency.
As of the latest update, DOGEs weighted sentiment stands at -0.645. This metric provides insights into the average sentiment attached to a particular cryptocurrency, taking into account the unique social volume surrounding it.
Interestingly, despite the somewhat negative value, the weighted sentiment has shown improvement from its low point of -1.99 on June 9. This shift suggests that the prevailing defeatist perception during that period has gradually shifted towards a more optimistic outlook.
Social Volume And Holder Count: A Diverging Trend
However, while the weighted sentiment demonstrates a positive trajectory, the coins social volume tells a different story. Instead of aligning with the stagnant number of holders, the social volume of Dogecoin has remained remarkably low since June 9, as per Santiments data.
Social volume measures the number of mentions and discussions...

Polygon (MATIC) Flexes Muscles In The Last Week With 27% Gain Details "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Polygon (MATIC) has demonstrated a significant price surge in the past week, rising by 27.39%. This bullish momentum has been further reinforced by a 9.38% increase in the last 24 hours. However, in the most recent hour, the price experienced a slight decline of 1.04%. Currently trading at $0.84 per MATIC, the cryptocurrency remains 71.11% below its all-time high of $2.92.
Reasons For The Price Movement
Multiple factors have contributed to the recent price movement of the crypto. Firstly, a favorable court ruling for XRP ripple effect on market sentiment, potentially influencing the performance of other cryptocurrencies like MATIC. The courts determination that XRP is not a security has provided investors reassurance and positively impacted the overall cryptocurrency market.
Related Reading: PEPE Sees Sharp 17% Surge, But Will This Whale Spoil The Party?
Furthermore, the increased activity of decentralized applications (Dapps) on the Polygon Network has significantly driven up demand for MATIC. The networks reputation as a scalable and efficient solution for the Ethereum network has attracted numerous developers and users to build and interact with Dapps on the platform. This heightened interest in the Polygon Network has increased demand for MATIC tokens.
Additionally, the highly anticipated launch of Polygon 2.0 has generated excitement within the community. This proposed upgrade aims to enhance the functionality and scalability of the Polygon Network, allowing for the support of multiple chains without compromising security. If successfully implemented, Polygon 2.0 could further solidify MATICs position as a leading blockchain solution, potentially attracting more investors and driving higher prices.
Expectations For Polygon
Looking ahead, Polygon holds promising prospects for further growth and development. With a total value locked (TVL) of $1 billion on the Polygon Network, the platform has established itself as a prominent second-layer scaling solution for Ethereum. The increasing TVL, which has grown from $878 million in the previous month, indicates...

So, I was supposed to be going to Medeltisveckans on Gotland in Sweden this August. But Im not. And thats OK (well, the not going. Not how it happened. That wasnt OK. And Im dealing with that).
But the good news is, Im going to be doing something even better. Youll hear about that soon
But, I spent 4 months planning for Medeltisveckans, which obviously means sewing! Medieval sewing.
My big worry about Medeltisveckans is that by all accounts is usually hot. So I needed to plan a capsule wardrobe of >1 suitcase worth of Medieval clothes that I wouldnt overheat in, and that would be as light as possible (because, luggage allowances).
My solution? My yellow 1370s dress, and one of the short sleeved dresses from the famous Herjolfsnes finds in wool, with the option to wear it with or without pin on sleeves and alone or over the yellow 1370s dress so many different options, and the looseness of the Herjolfsnes dress would make it cool and breezy in the heat.
So, I patterned up Herjolfsnes 39 from Medieval Garments Reconstructed (its on page 58, and featured on the front cover)
I decided Id make a wearable mock up in linen to test the pattern before cutting in to my precious, this-is-going-to-take-every-scrap wool. I wouldnt wear the linen dress as a historical garment, but it could make a fun everyday dress, for a different kind of historybounding.
Because this is meant to be an everyday dress, I did it all by machine, including figuring out a fun way to do the inset godets by machine

Ill never forget standing beside my sister Lucy as she was strapped to a gurney during a midnight admission to an E.R. in Cambridge, Mass.one of 13 or 14 hospitalizations, Ive forgotten whichand hearing her try to persuade hospital workers to release her.
She was profoundly articulate and compelling as she made her case, but by then shed been diagnosed as borderline, which, of course, meant that anything she expressed in her own defense would be discounted as manipulative and disordered.
I dont remember what I said, exactly. What I wanted to do, then and always, was scream at everyone in screaming distance: Dont you realize?! This woman is the sweetest, most caring, most extraordinary soul youll ever meet in your life! Shes funny as hell! Shes a pianist! She plays Beethoven like she knew him! Treat her with compassion! Acknowledge her humanity! Listen to what she says!
This was back in the late 1980s, shortly after I dropped everything and went to live with her. Ill never stop dwelling on that moment and the system that failed my sister. Ill never stop trying to process her suicide in 1992, just as Ill never stop working to process my husbands in 2011. This is the nature of grief following suicide: It never truly resolves. Those of us left behind spend the rest of our own lives trying to understand why our loved ones were cut shortand what might have helped them survive. We envision alternate timelines in which they healed, recovered, perhaps blossomed, even thrived.
Right now Im finishing a novel in which I try to bring Lucy back from the dead. In it, I persuade an eccentric Harvard neuroscientist to put me into a coma, and I zip up to heaven on a quest to drag her home. Its a bizarre little book, probably unpublishable. But I dont care. Its been a way for...

BNB Chain Inks New Record With Soaring User Activity A Boost For Price? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
BNB Chain, the blockchain platform powering the Binance ecosystem, has recently emerged as a formidable force in the crypto world, surpassing its competitors in terms of daily active users. This surge in user engagement has coincided with a surge in the value of the BNB token, which has experienced a steady increase of over 5% within a single week.
As BNBs daily active users continue to soar, one cant help but question the overall impact of this unprecedented growth. What lies behind BNBs ability to outshine its rivals and attract a growing user base? Is there a hidden catalyst propelling its value upwards?
Moreover, as these metrics diverge from the norm, skeptics begin to raise valid concerns about the sustainability and potential risks associated with BNBs rise.
BNB Chain Surpasses BTC, ETH In Daily Active Users
In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology, BNB Chain has recently achieved a significant milestone, surpassing renowned chains such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in terms of daily user activity. According to a BNB analysis, the chain secured the second position, solidifying its position as a formidable player in the crypto world.
Token Terminals data also revealed that BNB Chain boasts an impressive count of over 1 million daily active users, a testament to the platforms growing popularity and appeal. This notable achievement is even more remarkable considering the longstanding dominance of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have traditionally held the top positions in the cryptocurrency market.
The BNB token has also made waves in the market. Currently priced at $248.78, it experienced a slight setback with a 3.5% slump in the past 24 hours. However, the token quickly bounced back with a decent 5.4% increase in the last week.

Person Asks if Theyre Wrong for Pretending Not to Recognize Their Parents When They Tried to Reconnect "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Do I know you from somewhere?
You look familiar but I just cant put my finger on it
Oh right, youre my mom and dad!
Uh ohthat doesnt sound good, does it?
But did this guy act like an a**hole?
Check out his story and see what you think.
AITA for pretending not to recognize my parents when they tried to reconnect?
I was raised mostly by my uncle and aunt. My older sister developed a serious illness when I was 6 and my parents decided that they couldnt care for both of us I guess, so they kind of unceremoniously dumped me at my grandparents and my uncle took me in.
Like, didnt even explain to me what was going on, just youre going to go visit gran for awhile and never picked me back up. My grandparents and uncle explained it later, and they were pretty livid at my parents. Ive seen my parents maybe 5 times since then and not at all for the last 9 years. I decided to stop having contact with them when I was 12 and since I was the only one reaching out all communication broke down.
It turned out ok, I love my aunt and uncle and it turns out they cant have kids so theyve always said Im their miracle kid, I was just misrouted by the stork at first. I was formally adopted by them when I turned 18, I wish it had been earlier but there were some red tape things that would have...

Considerate Tall Guy at Show Offers to Narrate On-Stage Action to Short Woman Behind Him "IndyWatch Feed Satire"
ANTIGO, Wisc. Courteous 63 man Chris Haller offered to narrate the action happening on stage at a local Wet Nips show to 411 woman Rebekah Belanger whose view he was completely blocking, average height sources confirmed.
And they say chivalry is dead, said Haller before being asked by venue staff to water a hard-to-reach plant behind the bar for them. Unfortunately, this isnt my first time blocking a view at a public gathering. Shows, art exhibits, open casket funerals. You name it, Im probably inadvertently standing directly in front of the exact thing you want to be looking at. Being tall is such a curse. Anyway, the minute I sensed this vertically-challenged woman standing on her tippy toes behind me to try to get a glimpse of the stage, I knew I had to do something to help. So I started describing in full detail everything happening. I was like one of those ASL interpreters but for people who can hear. Really felt a sense of purpose doing something charitable for someone less fortunate.
Belanger still struggled to understand what was going on during the show despite Hallers efforts.
Every time I tried to contort my body to get a good view of the band, this guy did too. Almost instinctively, said Belanger. Not to mention his narration skills were complete dog shit. He just kept naming the song the band was playing in real time as if he thought blocking my view meant obstructing the sound of their music. Cant believe this was the show I forgot to bring my trusty little step stool I otherwise never leave home without.
Music expert Chase Clay outlined some basic manners showgoers need to be aware of.
Audiences usually have to adhere to some sort of etiquette during live music, especially if youre a beanstalk of a human, said Clay. So if youre tall and you find yourself in this situation, you can offer to hoist short people up on your shoulders so they can see, or you can lift them up in the air Dirty Dancing-style. Or better yet, you can do everyone a favor and leave the show entirely to let the normal-sized people enjoy the action for once, you freak of nature. Otherwise, just make sure to have fun.
At press time, Haller offered to give Belanger product descriptions of the items in the bands merch booth after realizing he was still blocking her view.

Pragmatic Middle-Aged Guy Only Skates in Urgent Care Parking Lots "IndyWatch Feed Satire"
SAN JOSE Local middle-aged guy Tom ODonnell admitted he exclusively skates the curbs surrounding urgent care parking lots in order to increase the efficiency of getting care for his inevitable injuries, confirmed sources close to the man.
I dont want to give up skating, but I am one sprained more sprained ankle away from bankruptcy. Theres no way I could afford an ambulance ride across town and my kids daycare in the same month. Luckily a lot of the older guys in town have already waxed the curbs behind more of the urgent care facilities, said ODonnell, mummifying his left leg in athletic braces. A couple of the maintenance dudes that work there skate during their lunch breaks so they tell me when the best doctors are working, so I make sure I plan my sessions around their schedules. And the best part is this place actually takes my shitty insurance.
Other middle-aged skaters that flock to the parking lot are catching the notice of the urgent care staff.
Once that screen printing business opened down the block we saw an influx of skate-related injuries that happen on our property. The waiting room has been a triage ward of middle-aged injuries, said Grace Holden, a nurse at the urgent care. We had to start rationing the lidocaine patches, and I cant take two steps without tripping over a guy laying on the floor because he threw his back out and all they want to talk about is some guy named Andrew Allen. If we get any more sprained ankles today were going to have to start tearing towels to make wraps.
Local rent-a-cops tasked with patrolling the citys parking lots admit they do not share the same enthusiasm as the skaters.
Im sick and tired of slowly chasing these damned punk middle-aged skaters off the lot, said security guard Glenn Crosby, scratching a local brewery sticker off a railing. They leave their empty ibuprofen bottles everywhere, and even when theyre not skating they just loiter here for hours, icing their knees. These guys need to grow up and go hang out at a Home Depot like normal middle-aged guys.
Though the urgent care lot remained popular, a rift soon formed in the citys middle-aged skate scene as those without corporate insurance preferred to just chance it at the local Walgreens parking lot.

If Home Ownership Is So Elusive, Why Did I Inherit Three? "IndyWatch Feed Satire"
Not a day goes by that I dont hear someone bitching about not being able to afford a home. They claim the economy is dogshit and that their crippling student debt, combined with high interest rates, has killed any chance of them ever purchasing property. Real sad face emoji-type stuff. But if home ownership is so difficult to achieve, how the heck did I successfully inherit three?
I think most Gen Zers and Millennials who dont have homes only have themselves to blame. They waste their money on luxuries like rent instead of being fiscally responsible and using the money they inherit when their wealthy relatives croak on down payments.
Just the other day I overheard a bunch of college grads at a car wash bemoaning their economic reality, complaining about needing multiple precarious service jobs just to survive. I wish I had a chance to give them some real estate advice but they finished detailing my Land Rover pretty quickly and I was in a bit of a hurry.
Dont get me wrong, I do acknowledge that there are real challenges when trying to secure your first home. I, for example, had an uphill battle to even get the keys to any of the three houses Gramps left me because my butthurt siblings who were cut out of the will took me to court. The anxiety I suffered during that unbearable two-week period of housing insecurity is something Ill never let go.
At the end of the day, I think this generation should take a page from the bestselling book, The Secret, and start manifesting a positive mindset to achieve their housing dreams, including owning three palatial estates by the ocean, like me. And if that doesnt work, theres always insurance fraud. All it takes is a little accidental fall in the lobby of a five-star hotel and you could very well be on your way to finally owning your first property.

He Wont Forgive His Dad for Breaking a Deal. Is He Wrong? "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Have you ever had someone go back on their word and it really hurt you?
Yeah, thats always badbut its even worse when one of your parents does it.
So is this guy wrong for not forgiving his dad for breaking a deal?
Check out his story and see what you think.
AITA for refusing to forgive my Dad for breaking our deal?
When I (17 M) was 8, my parents bought me a piano and signed me up for lessons. I was super excited because I love music. Over time I kind of became known as the piano guy at school. I play at school concerts, accompany the school jazz choir, and play once a week for the residents at a couple of retirement homes in our town.
When I was 15, I started to talk about quitting lessons, and my parents quickly tried to guilt me out of it. I told them I wanted to try other things, and that between piano and studying, I didnt have much time left for other extra curriculars. My Dad proposed a deal.
If I kept playing and taking lessons until I reached level 10 RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music), and continued to keep my grades up at school, he would buy me a new car of my choice. I jumped at it and we shook hands on the deal.
I should explain that my family is well off financially. I have a very privileged life, but I wouldnt say Ive been spoiled. If I ever want a luxury item like a new phone or game console, I have to buy it myself with money Ive saved from summer and after school jobs.
I should also explain that my DadR...

Vitamin D and omega-3 (Fatty Acid) supplementation in pregnancy for the primary prevention of food allergy in children. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Children (Basel). 2023 Feb 27 ;10(3). Epub 2023 Feb 27. PMID: 36980026 Abstract Title: Vitamin D and Omega-3 (Fatty Acid) Supplementation in Pregnancy for the Primary Prevention of Food Allergy in Children-Literature Review. Abstract: During the last decades the prevalence of food allergy (FA), an adverse immune response to a specific food antigen, has risen, with negative effects on the quality of life (QoL) of many children and their families. The pathogenesis of FA is complex, involving both genetic and environmental factors. SPINK5, STAT6, HLA and FOXP3 are some of the genes that are reported to be implicated in FA development. Regarding environmental factors, particular interest has been focused on modification of the dietary habits of pregnant women for the primary prevention of FA. Specifically, Vitamin D and omega-3 (-3) fatty acid supplementation during pregnancy may influence the development of FA in the offspring. Vitamin D is a hormone with various actions, including mediation of the immune system, reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines and promoting tolerance. Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy suppresses T-regulatory cells in the fetus, and Vitamin D supplementation might protect against FA development. Dietary-3 fatty acids are found mainly in fish and vegetable oils. They are beneficial for human health, playing a role in the immune system as anti-inflammatory agents, and providing cell membrane stabilization with inhibition of antigen presentation. It is documented that maternal supplementation with-3 during pregnancy may protect from allergic sensitization in the children. The aim of this literature review was to explore the potential preventive role of maternal supplementation during pregnancy with Vitamin D and-3 in the development of FA in the offspring. With the prevalence of FA rising, all the possible protective mechanisms and measures for FA prevention need to be explored, starting with those that can be modified.

Investigation of the antitumor effect on breast cancer cells of the electrospun amygdalin-loaded nanofibers. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Jun 1 ;239:124201. Epub 2023 Mar 30. PMID: 37001771 Abstract Title: Investigation of the antitumor effect on breast cancer cells of the electrospun amygdalin-loaded poly(l-lactic acid)/poly(ethylene glycol) nanofibers. Abstract: In this study, PLA/PEG nanofibers (NFs) loaded with amygdalin (AMG) and bitter almond kernels extract were produced by electrospinning to prevent local breast cancer recurrence, and the effect of produced NFs on the MCF-7 cell line was investigated in vitro. The electrospun NFs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal analysis (DSC) and tensile strength and physical analyzes were performed. Loading of AMG to nanofibers increased fiber diameters from 827.93 174.507 nm to 1855.32 291.057 m. When drug release results were analyzed, the NFs showed a controlled release profile extending up to 10 h. The encapsulation efficiency of AMG-loaded NFs was calculated at 100 0,01 %, 94 0,02 %, and 88 0,02 %. When in vitro cytotoxicity results were analyzed, showed that all NFs are effective in inducing cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Importantly, 20 mg AMG-loaded NFs displayed effectively higher cytotoxic effects against breast cancer cells relative to the other NFs. Considering all the results, AMG-loaded NFs can give sustained release of drugs at the local sites. Therefore, AMG-loaded nanofibers can reduce the risk of local recurrence of cancer after surgery and can be directly implanted into solid tumor cells for treatment.

Abstract: To investigate the effect of vitamin C combined with recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (rbFGF) on inflammatory factors and oxygen environment in patients with high-voltage electrical burns.

New Mexico Foster Parent Confesses Guilt of Sexually Abusing Children for Years but Does No Jail Time, 8-Year-Old Girl Awarded $485 Million "IndyWatch Feed Health"

Editor, Health Impact News
As the movie Sound of Freedom is shown to packed out movie theaters across the U.S. to millions of people sitting in air conditioned theaters eating their popcorn, shaking their heads at the horror of child sex trafficking that is portrayed in poor countries like Columbia, tens of thousands of young children are being sexually abused and trafficked right here in our own borders every day, begging for help, with their voices falling on deaf ears.
And it is all legal, because it is being done under the color of law in our nations child welfare system.
One of those cases actually made the corporate news this week, but was obviously drowned out by all the hype behind the Sound of Freedom movie.
A jury in New Mexico awarded $485 million to an 8-year-old female victim of Clarence Garcia, a 66-year-old foster parent in New Mexico who sexually abused the girl while she was in his care.
A Rio Arriba County jury awarded an astounding $485 million in a lawsuit. It was filed on behalf of a girl who was repeatedly raped by her foster father, Clarence Garcia.
I think the message that was sent first and foremost is that this little girl matters, said Joshua Conaway, an attorney in the case.
In 2019, a court-appointed guardian for the girl filed a lawsuit on her behalf against Clarence Garcia and his wife, Debbie Garcia. (Full article.)

The Greatest History Never Told "IndyWatch Feed Health"
A common mantra was chanted by world leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic a Great Reset is necessary to build back better from the crisis and create a new sustainable future. This future is one led by a powerful global cartel eager to gain control over society and, ultimately, humanity.
But this message of a new world order swooping in to save the masses from a fearful enemy didnt start during the pandemic. Its origins go much deeper.
In the video above,1 Ivor Cummins, a biochemical engineer with a background in medical device engineering and leading teams in complex problem-solving, interviews Jacob Nordangard, a Swedish researcher and author who has a Ph.D. in technology and social change, a Master of Social Science in geography and a Master of Social Science in culture and media production.
Nordangard is the author of Rockefeller: Controlling the Game, a book that explores how this prominent family funded and shaped key aspects of society, from environmental and climate research to education, medicine, politics and agriculture, all using propaganda techniques. Their goal was a transformation of the worlds economy, culture and governments, into a new world order with the Rockefellers and their select cronies at the helm.
The interview takes you on a journey from the late 19th century to present day, laying out the nefarious path of how we ended up in the place we are today, on the verge of takeover by a corrupted few.
While the topics covered are a good primer, it is important to understand that the interview fails to uncover any information on Rockefellers link to the Rothschild family, who are exponentially wealthier, as they have been global bankers for centuries before the Rockefellers started and are likely stealthily pulling their strings.

In the late 19th century, John D. Rockefeller became the richest man in the world. He started Standard Oil Corporation in 1870, which soon came under fire. In 1911, Standard Oil was ruled an unreasonable monopoly and split into 34 companies, which became Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Amoco, Marathon and others.2
To improve his image and exert more world control, Rockefeller got into philanthropy, allowing him to avoid taxation and put money into society in ways that would benefit his businesses. Rockefeller founded the University of Chicago and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, allowing him to set the research agenda to further their...
What Is the Cell Danger Response? "IndyWatch Feed Health"
Since early 2020, I have worked with patients with spike protein injuries, either from COVID-19 or the vaccines. Now and then, I've observed a specific treatment for a spike protein injury have a rapid effect that was so dramatic it would have been difficult to believe it had happened had I not witnessed it firsthand.
Whenever I spotted a treatment doing that, I asked, "Why did this happen?" Over time, I realized two mechanisms appeared to be able to account for almost every case where I observed this happen.
The first was that impaired fluid circulation in the body was restored, most commonly by restoring the physiologic zeta potential (something the spike protein is uniquely suited to inhibit). Since this is a complex but relatively unknown topic, I've worked to explain what zeta potential is, how its disruption creates illness by impairing fluid circulation throughout the body, and the methods I know of which can restore it.
Note: In parallel to doing this, I also discussed the fourth phase of water (something also critical for the health of the body) as the two concepts are deeply interrelated.
The second was that the Cell Danger Response (CDR) was deactivated. Since there is much more awareness about this (still relatively unknown) concept in the integrative medical field, I felt zeta potential needed to be covered first. Nonetheless, the CDR is an essential concept to understand, and like zeta potential, it plays a foundational role in explaining and addressing many of the complex conditions we face today.
Before I go further, I would like to acknowledge two of my colleagues who have a great deal of experience working with the CDR that assisted me in drafting this series (and both independently observed that the COVID vaccines triggered the CDR).
What Is the Cell Danger Response?
For cells to survive, something has to protect them from the innumerable threats they encounter. In complex organisms, we typically assign that role to the immune system. In contrast, in single-celled organisms (e.g., bacteria), it's fulfilled either by them putting protective agents into their environment (e.g., bacteriocins to kill enemy bacteria) or them evolving resistance to the danger they are facing (e.g., antibiotics).
However, those a...
How to Boost Brain Health and Reverse Neurological Disease "IndyWatch Feed Health"
Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published June 10, 2018.
Your brain is a really important part of your body. I'm sure no one would disagree with that. In this interview, Dr. Lee Cowden, co-founder of the Academy of Comprehensive Integrative Medicine (ACIM), discusses some really simple and inexpensive strategies that boost brain health and support neuroregeneration. This is also the topic of this year's ACIM conference, which will be held in Orlando, Florida, in November.
The Academy of Comprehensive Integrative Medicine was founded in 2008 with the vision of educating integrative practitioners around the globe, for the most part online. "Many practitioners are so busy that they can never take the time to go to all of the meetings they need to go to, to learn what they need to learn," Cowden says, "so we decided to start putting educational courses online."
ACIM Offers Training Programs
In 2014, ACIM began offering a 300-hour online integrative medicine fellowship training program. Workshops are held in Dallas every few months to allow practitioners to get hands-on training. In 2018, there were hands-on conferences in July and September 20. Those were all preludes to the main conference in Orlando in November.
"Everything we're doing this year is focused on the brain [and] neuroregeneration," Cowden says. "With integrative medicine, we look at the causation, and see if we can resolve the causation of the illness. Once the cause goes away, usually the illness goes away."
You don't have to be a health care professional to benefit from ACIM. Even laypeople can study with ACIM.
The academy offers a core wellness coach program that includes 70 hours of training. "I think every integrative practitioner needs to have half a dozen or more wellness coaches working with them to hold the hands of the patients until they get well," Cowden says.
ACIM Conference 2018: Neuroregeneration
The November conference focused on strategies that can help regenerate all types of neurological conditions, including Alzheimer's, autism, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and other less severe conditions such as the neurological effects of fibromyalgia, and less common conditions such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and peripheral neuropathy.
"The tendency of the American public is to look for a magic bullet. But, really, for neurological diseases, I haven't found a magic bullet. There's a lot of very important pieces.
I call those the foundational pieces: Diet, removing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from the patient's su...

Inflammation and vitamin C in women with prenatal depression and anxiety. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Antioxidants (Basel). 2023 Apr 17 ;12(4). Epub 2023 Apr 17. PMID: 37107316 Abstract Title: Inflammation and Vitamin C in Women with Prenatal Depression and Anxiety: Effect of Multinutrient Supplementation. Abstract: Elevated inflammation has been associated with adverse mood states, such as depression and anxiety, and antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin C, have been associated with decreased inflammation and improved mood. In the current study comprising a cohort of pregnant women with depression and anxiety, we hypothesised that elevated inflammation would be associated with adverse mood states and inversely associated with vitamin C status and that multinutrient supplementation would optimise vitamin concentrations and attenuate inflammation. Sixty-one participants from the NUTRIMUM trial had blood samples collected between 12 and 24 weeks gestation (baseline) and following 12 weeks of daily supplementation with a multinutrient formula containing 600 mg of vitamin C or active placebo. The samples were analysed for inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein (CRP) and cytokines) and vitamin C content and were related to scales of depression and anxiety. Positive correlations were observed between interleukin-6 (IL-6) and all of the mood scales administered (0.05). Supplementation with the multinutrient formula resulted in a significant increase in the vitamin C status of the cohort (= 0.007) but did not affect the inflammatory biomarker concentrations (>0.05). In conclusion, greater systemic inflammation was associated with worse mood states; however, 12-week multinutrient supplementation did not alter inflammatory biomarker concentrations. Nevertheless, the vitamin C status of the cohort was improved with supplementation, which may aid pregnancy and infant outcomes.

Vitamin C and vitamin D3 alleviate metabolic-associated fatty liver disease. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Front Pharmacol. 2023 ;14:1163694. Epub 2023 Apr 5. PMID: 37089915 Abstract Title: Vitamin C and vitamin Dalleviate metabolic-associated fatty liver disease by regulating the gut microbiota and bile acid metabolismthe gut-liver axis. Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that both vitamin C (VC) and vitamin D(VDhave therapeutic potential against metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). However, it is unclear whether VC supplementation is associated with improving the intestinal flora and regulating the metabolism of bile acidsthe gut-liver axis in MAFLD. There is still no direct comparison or combination study of these two vitamins on these effects.In this study, we employed biochemical, histological, 16S rDNA-based microbiological, non-targeted liver metabolomic, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses to explore the intervening effect and mechanism of VC and VDon MAFLD by using a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mouse model.Treatment of mice with VC and VDefficiently reversed the characteristics of MAFLD, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, and inflammation. VC and VDshowed similar beneficial effects as mentioned above in HFD-induced obese mice. Interestingly, VC and VDreshaped the gut microbiota composition; improved gut barrier integrity; ameliorated oxidative stress and inflammation in the gut-liver axis; inhibited bile acid salt reflux-related ASBT; activated bile acid synthesis-related CYP7A1, bile acid receptor FXR, and bile acid transportation-related BSEP in the gut-liver axis; and improved bile secretion, thus decreasing the expression of FAS in the liver and efficiently ameliorating MAFLD in mice.Together, the results indicate that the anti-MAFLD activities of VC and VDare linked to improved gut-liver interactionsregulation of the gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism, and they may therefore prove useful in treating MAFLD clinically.

Impact of intravenous vitamin C as a monotherapy on mortality risk in critically ill patients. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Front Nutr. 2023 ;10:1094757. Epub 2023 Mar 24. PMID: 37051117 Abstract Title: Impact of intravenous vitamin C as a monotherapy on mortality risk in critically ill patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with trial sequential analysis. Abstract: BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis aimed at investigating the pooled evidence regarding the effects of intravenous vitamin C (IVVC) on mortality rate in critically ill patients.METHODS: Databases including Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception to October, 2022 to identify RCTs. The primary outcome was the risk of overall mortality. Subgroup analyses were performed based on IVVC dosage (i.e., cut-off value: 100 mg/kg/day or 10000 mg/day). Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used to examine the robustness of evidence.RESULTS: A total of 12 trials including 1,712 patients were analyzed. Although meta-analysis demonstrated a lower risk of mortality in patients with IVVC treatment compared to those without [risk ratio (RR): 0.76, 95% CI: 0.6 to 0.97,= 0.02,= 36%, 1,711 patients), TSA suggested the need for more studies for verification. Moreover, subgroup analyses revealed a reduced mortality risk associated with a low IVVC dosage (RR = 0.72,= 0.03, 546 patients), while no beneficial effect was noted with high IVVC dosage (RR = 0.74,= 0.13,= 60%, 1,165 patients). The durations of vasopressor [mean difference (MD): -37.75 h, 404 patients) and mechanical ventilation (MD: -47.29 h, 388 patients) use were shorter in the IVVC group than those in the controls, while there was no significant difference in other prognostic outcomes (e.g., length of stay in intensive care unit/hospital) between the two groups.CONCLUSION: Although intravenous vitamin C as a monotherapy reduced pooled mortality, durations of vasopressor use and mechanical ventilation, further research is required to support our findings and to identify the optimal dosage of vitamin C in the critical care setting.SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42022371090.

The role of a ketogenic diet in the treatment of dementia in type 2 diabetes mellitus. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Nutrients. 2023 Apr 19 ;15(8). Epub 2023 Apr 19. PMID: 37111190 Abstract Title: The Role of a Ketogenic Diet in the Treatment of Dementia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) shares a common molecular mechanism and underlying pathology with dementia, and studies indicate that dementia is widespread in people with T2DM. Currently, T2DM-induced cognitive impairment is characterized by altered insulin and cerebral glucose metabolism, leading to a shorter life span. Increasing evidence indicates that nutritional and metabolic treatments can possibly alleviate these issues, as there is a lack of efficient preventative and treatment methods. The ketogenic diet (KD) is a very high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that induces ketosis in the body by producing a fasting-like effect, and neurons in the aged brain are protected from damage by ketone bodies. Moreover, the creation of ketone bodies may improve brain neuronal function, decrease inflammatory expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and restore neuronal metabolism. As a result, the KD has drawn attention as a potential treatment for neurological diseases, such as T2DM-induced dementia. This review aims to examine the role of the KD in the prevention of dementia risk in T2DM patients and to outline specific aspects of the neuroprotective effects of the KD, providing a rationale for the implementation of dietary interventions as a therapeutic strategy for T2DM-induced dementia in the future.

Ketogenic diet in therapy of bipolar affective disorder. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Psychiatr Pol. 2022 Dec 31 ;56(6):1345-1363. Epub 2022 Dec 31. PMID: 37098202 Abstract Title: Ketogenic diet in therapy of bipolar affective disorder - case report and literature review. Abstract: Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) is a chronic mental disorder, characterised by mood swings, alternating between depression and manic or hypomanic episodes. Unfortunately, in some patients pharmacological treatment does not bring satisfactory results, and a certain group of patients shows resistance to treatment. Therefore, other treatment methods are sought after, including a change in diet. The most promising nutrition model is the ketogenic diet. In the presented case study of a male patient, thanks to the introduction of the ketogenic diet, full remission of the disease was achieved, doses of lamotrigine were reduced and quetiapine was completely discontinued. Previously, neither lamotrigine monotherapy nor combined treatment with quetiapine achieved euthymia. The effects of the diet may be related to, among others, the influence on ionic channels and increase in blood acidity (similarly to mood stabilisers), increase in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentration, modulation of GABAA receptors and blocking of AMPA receptors by medium-chain fatty acids. The ketogenic diet influences glutamate metabolism and nerve cell metabolism, which uses ketone bodies as energy sources. Ketosis can also stimulate the biogenesis of mitochondria, improve brain metabolism, act as a neuroprotective factor, as well as increase glutathione synthesis and reduce oxidative stress. However, there is a need for carefully planned studies, with an appropriate representative group, to verify the potential benefits and risks of introducing the ketogenic diet in patients with BPAD.

The ketogenic diet for Dravet syndrome. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Nutrition. 2023 Jun ;110:111976. Epub 2023 Feb 12. PMID: 37060636 Abstract Title: The ketogenic diet for Dravet syndrome: A multicenter retrospective study. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The ketogenic diet (KD) is one of the main treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy. However, there have been few multicenter reports on the use of the KD for the treatment of Dravet syndrome (DS). The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of this approach based on a large number of multicenter cases.METHODS: This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study from 14 centers in China. All patients were treated with the KD. We compared the effects of KD intervention time, age, and other factors.RESULTS: From March 2014 to March 2020, we treated 114 patients with DS with the KD. The male-to-female ratio was 67:47. The KD median initiation age was 3 y and 4 mo, and the median number of antiseizure medications (ASMs) was 2.4. KD therapy was the first choice for three patients. Exactly 10.5% of the patients started KD therapy after failure of the first ASM therapy, with 35.1% after failure of the second, 44.7% after the third, and 7% after the fourth or more. After KD therapy for 1, 3, 6, and 12 mo, the seizure-free rates were 14%, 32.5%, 30.7%, and 19.3%, respectively; KD efficacy (50% reduction in seizure frequency) were 57.9%, 76.3%, 59.6%, and 43%, respectively; the retention rates were 97.4%, 93%, 71.9%, and 46.5%, respectively; and the rates of adverse events were 25.2%, 19.9%, 11%, and 5.7%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS: Real-world, multicenter data analysis showed that the KD is effective for patients with DS and has a low incidence of side effects.

Editor, Health Impact News
As the movie Sound of Freedom is shown to packed out movie theaters across the U.S. to millions of people sitting in air conditioned theaters eating their popcorn, shaking their heads at the horror of child sex trafficking that is portrayed in poor countries like Columbia, tens of thousands of young children are being sexually abused and trafficked right here in our own borders every day, begging for help, with their voices falling on deaf ears.
And it is all legal, because it is being done under the color of law in our nations child welfare system.
One of those cases actually made the corporate news this week, but was obviously drowned out by all the hype behind the Sound of Freedom movie.
A jury in New Mexico awarded $485 million to an 8-year-old female victim of Clarence Garcia, a 66-year-old foster parent in New Mexico who sexually abused the girl while she was in his care.
A Rio Arriba County jury awarded an astounding $485 million in a lawsuit. It was filed on behalf of a girl who was repeatedly raped by her foster father, Clarence Garcia.
I think the message that was sent first and foremost is that this little girl matters, said Joshua Conaway, an attorney in the case.
In 2019, a court-appointed guardian for the girl filed a lawsuit on her behalf against Clarence Garcia and his wife, Debbie Garcia. (Full article.)

A ketogenic diet improves vascular hyperpermeability in type 2 diabetes. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: J Cell Mol Med. 2023 May ;27(10):1410-1422. Epub 2023 Apr 15. PMID: 37060584 Abstract Title: A ketogenic diet improves vascular hyperpermeability in type 2 diabetic mice by downregulating vascular pescadillo1 expression. Abstract: The role of pescadillo1 (PES1) in regulating vascular permeability has been unknown. This study probes the role of PES1 and its mediated molecular mechanism in modulating vascular hyperpermeability in diabetic mice. Male C57BL/6J and db/db mice were fed a standard diet and a ketogenic diet (KD). Meanwhile, mouse vascular endothelial cells (MVECs) were treated with-hydroxybutyric acid (-HB), Pes1 siRNA or a Pes1 overexpression plasmid. Additionally, knockout (KO) of Pes1 in mice was applied. After 12weeks of feedings, enhanced vascular PES1 expression in diabetic mice was inhibited by the KD. The suppression of PES1 was also observed in-HB-treated MVECs. In mice with Pes1 KO, the levels of vascular VEGF and PES1 were attenuated, while the levels of vascular VE-cadherin, Ang-1 and Occludin were upregulated. Similar outcomes also occurred after the knockdown of Pes1 in cultured MVECs, which were opposite to the effects induced by PES1 overexpression in MVECs. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that high glucose concentration-induced increases in vascular paracellular permeability declined after MVECs were treated by-HB or by knockdown of Pes1. In contrast, increases in vascular permeability were induced by overexpression of Pes1, which were suppressed by coadministration of-HB in cultured endothelial cells. Similarly declines in vascular permeability were found by Pes1 knockdown in diabetic mice. Mechanistically,-HB decreased PES1-facilitated ubiquitination of VE-cadherin. The KD suppressed the diabetes-induced increase in PES1, which may result in vascular hyperpermeability through ubiquitination of VE-cadherin in type 2 diabetic mice.

Ketogenic Diet Alleviates Hypoglycemia-Induced Neuroinflammation. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Mol Nutr Food Res. 2023 Jun ;67(11):e2200711. Epub 2023 Apr 25. PMID: 37052374 Abstract Title: Ketogenic Diet Alleviates Hypoglycemia-Induced Neuroinflammation via Modulation the Gut Microbiota in Mice. Abstract: SCOPE: This study aims to investigate the role of gut microbiota regulation with ketogenic diet (KD) in hypoglycemia-induced neuroinflammation.METHODS AND RESULTS: Immunofluorescence staining and western blotting show that KD alleviates blood-brain barrier injury induced by hypoglycemia by increasing Podxl and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) levels. KD-fed mice show reduced brain edema by decreasing aquaporin-4 (AQP4) content and maintaining its polarized expression. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing results show that KD reduces the Chao 1 index of gut microbiota-diversity, and significant separation is detected in the-diversity analysis between the control and KD-fed mice. KD increases the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria and decreases that of Bacteroidetes. Hypoglycemia can reduce SOD and GSH-PX levels while increasing TNF-, IL-1, and IL-6 mRNA levels in the brain tissues of mice. KD alleviates hypoglycemia-induced neuroinflammation by inhibiting microglia activation and TLR4/p38MAPK/NF-B signaling pathway. Importantly, antibiotic cocktail depletion of the gut microbiota weakens anti-inflammatory and antioxidation responses in KD-fed mice.CONCLUSION: Collectively, these findings suggest that KD alleviates hypoglycemia-induced brain injury via gut microbiota modulation, which may provide novel insights into the therapy for hypoglycemia.

Ketogenic diet as a promising non-drug intervention for Alzheimer's disease. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: J Alzheimers Dis. 2023 ;92(4):1173-1198. PMID: 37038820 Abstract Title: Ketogenic Diet as a Promising Non-Drug Intervention for Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms and Clinical Implications. Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is mainly characterized by cognitive deficits. Although many studies have been devoted to developing disease-modifying therapies, there has been no effective therapy until now. However, dietary interventions may be a potential strategy to treat AD. The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet with adequate protein. KD increases the levels of ketone bodies, providing an alternative energy source when there is not sufficient energy supply because of impaired glucose metabolism. Accumulating preclinical and clinical studies have shown that a KD is beneficial to AD. The potential underlying mechanisms include improved mitochondrial function, optimization of gut microbiota composition, and reduced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. The review provides an update on clinical and preclinical research on the effects of KD or medium-chain triglyceride supplementation on symptoms and pathophysiology in AD. We also detail the potential mechanisms of KD, involving amyloid and tau proteins, neuroinflammation, gut microbiota, oxidative stress, and brain metabolism. We aimed to determine the function of the KD in AD and outline important aspects of the mechanism, providing a reference for the implementation of the KD as a potential therapeutic strategy for AD.

PMID: Front Nutr. 2023 ;10:1127845. Epub 2023 Mar 23. PMID: 37032786 Abstract Title: Ketogenic diet alleviates renal fibrosis in mice by enhancing fatty acid oxidation through the free fatty acid receptor 3 pathway. Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The ketogenic diet (KD), as a dietary intervention, has gained importance in the treatment of solid organ structural remodeling, but its role in renal fibrosis has not been explored.METHODS: Male C57BL/6 mice were fed a normal diet or a KD for 6 weeks prior to unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), a well-establishedmodel of renal fibrosis in rodents. Seven days after UUO, serum and kidney samples were collected. Serum-hydroxybutyrate (-OHB) concentrations and renal fibrosis were assessed. NRK52E cells were treated with TGF1, a fibrosis-inducing cytokine, and with or without-OHB, a ketone body metabolized by KD, to investigate the mechanism underlying renal fibrosis.RESULTS: KD significantly enhanced serum-OHB levels in mice. Histological analysis revealed that KD alleviated structural destruction and fibrosis in obstructed kidneys and reduced the expression of the fibrosis protein markers-SMA, Col1a1, and Col3a1. Expression of the rate-limiting enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation (FAO), Cpt1a and Acox1, significantly decreased after UUO and were upregulated by KD. However, the protective effect of KD was abolished by etomoxir (a Cpt1a inhibitor). Besides, our study observed that KD significantly suppressed UUO-induced macrophage infiltration and the expression of IL-6 in the obstructive kidneys. In NRK52E cells, fibrosis-related signaling was increased by TGF1 and reduced by-OHB.-OHB treatment restored the impaired expression of Cpt1a. The effect of-OHB was blocked by siRNA targeting free fatty acid receptor 3 (FFAR3), suggesting that-OHB might function through the FFAR3-dependent pathway.DISCUSSION: Our results highlight that KD attenuates UUO-induced renal fibrosis by enhancing FAO via the FFAR3-dependent pathway, which provides a promising dietary therapy for renal fibrosis.

Ketogenic diet attenuates refractory epilepsy of Harel-Yoon Syndrome with ATAD3A variants. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Pediatr Neurol. 2023 Jun ;143:79-83. Epub 2023 Mar 9. PMID: 37031571 Abstract Title: Ketogenic Diet Attenuates Refractory Epilepsy of Harel-Yoon Syndrome With ATAD3A Variants: A Case Report and Review of Literature. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Harel-Yoon syndrome is a disease caused by variants in the ATAD3A gene, which manifest as global developmental delay, hypotonia, intellectual disability, and axonal neuropathy. The aim of this study is to summarize the clinical and gene mutation characteristics of a child with refractory epilepsy caused by ATAD3A gene mutation.METHODS: The whole-exome sequencing combined with copy number variation analysis could help to understand the genetic diversity and underlying disease mechanisms in ATAD3A gene mutation.RESULTS: We report a Chinese boy with Harel-Yoon syndrome presenting with refractory epilepsy, hypotonia, global developmental delay, and congenital cataract through whole-exome sequencing. Genetic analysis showed a missense mutation, c.251T>C(p.Thr84Met) in the ATAD3A gene (NM_001170535.1). Further copy number variation analysis identified a novel heterozygous deletion on chromosome1p36.33, which spans ATAD3A exon 1 and 2 regions. Multiple antiepileptic drugs failed to control his seizures. Eventually, seizure was controlled through ketogenic diet (KD).CONCLUSION: Our case shows the potential diagnostic role of whole-exome sequencing in Harel-Yoon syndrome and expands the ATAD3A gene mutation spectrum. Multiple antiepileptic drugs failed to control refractory epilepsy in Harel-Yoon syndrome. The KD therapy may be effective for patients with refractory epilepsy who carry the ATAD3A variants.

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.
There was a shocking number in todays latest monthly US Budget Deficit report. No, it wasnt that US government outlays unexpectedly soared 15% to $646 billion in June, up almost $100 billion from a year ago
while tax receipts slumped 9.2% from $461 billion to $418 billion, resulting in a TTM government receipt drop of over 7.3%, the biggest since June 2020 when the US was reeling from the covid lockdown recession; in fact never have before tax receipts suffered such a big drop without the US entering a recession.
Needless to say, surging government outlays coupled with shrinking tax revenues meant that in June, the US budget deficit nearly tripled from $89 billion a year ago to $228 billion, far greater than the consensus estimate of $175 billion.

Ketogenic diet alleviates renal interstitial fibrosis. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: J Nutr Biochem. 2023 Aug ;118:109335. Epub 2023 Apr 5. PMID: 37023933 Abstract Title: Ketogenic diet alleviates renal interstitial fibrosis in UUO mice by regulating macrophage proliferation. Abstract: The ketogenic diet (KD), a high-fat and extremely low-carbohydrate dietary regimen, has long been acknowledged as a highly beneficial dietary therapy for the treatment of intractable epilepsy throughout the last decade. Because of its significant therapeutic potential for a variety of ailments, KD is increasingly attracting study interest. In renal fibrosis, KD has received little attention. This study aimed to determine whether KD protects against renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) models and the possible mechanisms. The ketogenic diet, according to our findings, reduces UUO-induced kidney injury and fibrosis in mice. KD dramatically decreased the number of F4/80macrophages in kidneys. Next, immunofluorescence results revealed a reduction in the number of F4/80Ki67macrophages in the KD group. Furthermore, our study evaluated the impact of-hydroxybutyric acid (-OHB) in RAW246.7 macrophages in vitro. We found that-OHB inhibits macrophage proliferation. Mechanistically,-OHB inhibits macrophage proliferation may be via the FFAR3-AKT pathway. Collectively, our study indicated that KD ameliorates UUO-induced renal fibrosis by regulating macrophage proliferation. KD may be an effective therapy method for renal fibrosis due to its protective impact against the disorder.

Efficacy of very low-calorie ketogenic diet with the Pronokal method in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Endocr Connect. 2023 Jul 1 ;12(7). Epub 2023 Jun 12. PMID: 37018117 Abstract Title: Efficacy of very low-calorie ketogenic diet with the Pronokalmethod in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a 16-week randomized controlled trial. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study isto assess the efficacy of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) method vs a Mediterranean low-calorie diet (LCD) in obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women of a reproductive age.DESIGN: Randomized controlled open-label trial was performed in this study. The treatment period was 16 weeks; VLCKD for 8 weeks then LCD for 8 weeks, according to the Pronokalmethod (experimental group; n = 15) vs Mediterranean LCD for 16 weeks (control group; n = 15). Ovulation monitoring was carried out at baseline and after 16 weeks, while a clinical exam, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), anthropometry, and biochemical analyses were performed at baseline, at week 8, and at week 16.RESULTS: BMI decreased significantly in both groups and to a major extent in the experimental group (-13.7% vs -5.1%, P = 0.0003). Significant differences between the experimental and the control groups were also observed in the reduction of waist circumference (-11.4% vs -2.9%), BIA-measured body fat (-24.0% vs -8.1%), and free testosterone (-30.4% vs -12.6%) after 16 weeks (P = 0.0008, P = 0.0176, and P = 0.0009, respectively). Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance significantly decreased only in the experimental group (P = 0.0238) but without significant differences with respect to the control group (-23% vs -13.2%, P>0.05). At baseline, 38.5% of participants in the experimental group and 14.3% of participants in the control group had ovulation, which increased to 84.6% (P = 0.031) and 35.7% (P>0.05) at the end of the study, respectively.CONCLUSION: In obese PCOS patients, 16 weeks of VLCKD protocol with the Pronokalmethod was more effective than Mediterranean LCD in reducing total and visceral fat, and in ameliorating hyperandrogenism and ovulatory dysfunction.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial on the use of the VLCKD method in obese PCOS. It demonstrates the superiority of VLCKD with respect to Mediterranean LCD in reducing BMI with an almost selective reduction of fat mass and a unique effect of VLCKD in reducing visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, and in increasing SHBG with a consequent reduction of free testosterone. Interestingly, this study also demonstrates the superiority of the VLCKD protocol in improving ovulation, whose occurrence increased by 46.1% in the group treated by the VLCKD method against a rise of 21.4% in the group treated by Mediterranean LCD. This study extends the therapeutic approach possibilities in obese...

Regulatory effects of ketogenic diet on the inflammatory response in obese Saudi women. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: J Taibah Univ Med Sci. 2023 Oct ;18(5):1101-1107. Epub 2023 Mar 21. PMID: 37009396 Abstract Title: Regulatory effects of ketogenic diet on the inflammatory response in obese Saudi women. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: In recent years, the use of a ketogenic diet (KD) against obesity has gained popularity in KSA. This study was designed to determine the impact of KD on anthropometric indices and on the abnormal regulation of inflammatory activities in obese Saudi women. Moreover, we investigated the potential of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) supplementation on the inhibition of pro-inflammatory activities.METHODS: We enrolled 31 Saudi women (aged, 35.3 8.4 years) with an average BMI of 33.96 4.44 kg/munderwent an 8-week KD (8KD) from January to March 2021. Changes in anthropometric measurements were collected at baseline and after 4-8 weeks of intervention. Compliance with the dietary regimen was monitored weekly by plasma BHB level.RESULTS: Twenty-nine females commenced the diets and 23 completed the study (a 79% completion rate). In comparison to pre-intervention, the 8KD resulted in a significant increase in the levels of plasma BHB (P

Leo Season Horoscopes July-August 2023 "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Leo Season 2023 runs from July 22 to August 22 and is the time of the Sun. The Sun represents our unique inner flame. It is the Divine spark that lives within us that propels us toward our passions, our purpose, and our joy.
During Leo Season, we are invited to re-spark our inner flames by remembering our passions and what brings us joy. You may even naturally find during Leo Season that you are drawn to a new hobby, reading material, or experience that ignites your soul and gets you excited about life again.
Leo Season 2023, is particularly noteworthy due to the increasing number of planets shifting retrograde. When we have strong retrograde energy, we are invited to look back over the past, to reconsider things, and to perhaps investigate old issues we are yet to resolve.
During Leo Season 2022, Venus and Chiron will station retrograde, plus Mercury will also slow down in preparing for its retrograde on the 23rd. In fact, by the time Leo Season is complete, we will have 6 major cosmic bodies in retrograde.
Venus Retrograde will definitely be the stand out of the bunch, and seeing as she is the planet of love and relationships, and Leo also rules over the heart, we may find ourselves doing a lot of heart-centered healing work.
As we move into August, Leo Season also brings the activation of the Lionsgate 88 Portal, a highly charged cosmic portal that works with the energy of Leo and the star, Sirius.
Lets take a closer look into what Leo Season will bring for each sign of the zodiac. Remember, you can read for your Sun and Rising-
Aries
As the Sun enters Leo, it feels alive, awakened, and in its fullest power. The Sun represents our life force energy; it is what gives our unique glow and independent spark. As the zodiac of independence, you...

SVAs MFA Students Want You to Unplug "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Amidst the blue-chip galleries and renovated brick buildings of New Yorks Chelsea neighborhood, a newly graduated class of School of Visual Arts (SVA) MFA students is presenting their thesis work through Monday, July 17. The Photography, Video and Related Media department work offers startling perspectives on technology and human connection, with varying degrees of optimism over the direction of our tech-addicted society.
The exhibition is staged at SVAs West 26th Street gallery, a space wedged into the 15th floor of the freshly remodeled Starrett-Lehigh building. I had to get a visitor pass from a security guard to walk from the lobby to the elevator, where I then had to select my floor on an iPad-style device (which another security guard had to help me figure out). When I stepped inside the elevator, I realized there were no buttons, a detail I had never thought about suddenly gave me the disquieting sense of having no control.

Ketogenic diet and inflammation: implications for mood and anxiety disorders. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023 ;1411:537-554. PMID: 36949325 Abstract Title: Ketogenic Diet and Inflammation: Implications for Mood and Anxiety Disorders. Abstract: The ketogenic diet, known as a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, and high-fat diet, drastically restrains the major source of energy for the body, forcing it to burn all excess fat through a process called ketosis-the breaking down of fat into ketone bodies. First suggested as a medical treatment for children suffering from epilepsy, this diet has gained increased popularity as a rapid weight loss strategy. Over the past few years, there have been numerous studies suggesting that the ketogenic diet may provide therapeutic effects for several psychiatric conditions such as mood- and anxiety-related disorders. However, despite significant progress in research, the mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain largely unexplored and are yet to be fully elucidated. This chapter provides an in-depth overview of preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the use of a ketogenic diet in the management of mood and anxiety disorders and discusses its relationship with inflammatory processes and potential mechanisms of actions for its therapeutic effects.

Ketogenic diets initiated in late mid-life improved measures of spatial memory. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Geroscience. 2023 Mar 18. Epub 2023 Mar 18. PMID: 36933143 Abstract Title: Ketogenic diets initiated in late mid-life improved measures of spatial memory in male mice. Abstract: Studies have shown ketogenic diets (KD) started from early middle-age improved health span and longevity in mice. KDs started later in life or administered intermittently may be more feasible and promote compliance. Therefore, this study sought to test if continuous or intermittent KDs started in late-middle-aged mice would improve cognition and motor function at advanced age. Eighteen-month-old male C57BL/6JN mice were assigned to an isocaloric control (CD), KD, or intermittent ketogenic (IKD, 3-day KD/week) diet. A panel of behavior tests were performed to assess cognitive and motor functions with aging. Y-maze alternation rate was higher for both IKD and KD mice at 23 months of age and for KD mice at 26 months indicating an improved spatial working memory. Twenty-six-month-old KD mice also showed better spatial learning memory in Barnes maze when compared to the CD. Improved grid wire hang performance was observed in aged IKD and KD versus CD mice indicating better muscle endurance under isometric contraction. A reduced level of circulating proinflammatory cytokines in aged KD (IL-6 and TNF-) and IKD (IL-6) mice may contribute to the phenotypic improvements observed with these interventions. This study demonstrates that when initiated at late-middle age, the KD improved measures of spatial memory and grid wire hang performance in aged male mice, with IKD showing results intermediate to the CD and KD groups.

Alleviation of asthma symptoms after ketogenic diet. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Cureus. 2023 Feb ;15(2):e34526. Epub 2023 Feb 1. PMID: 36879703 Abstract Title: Alleviation of Asthma Symptoms After Ketogenic Diet: A Case Report. Abstract: Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the quality of life of patients, and asthma exacerbations are often a reason for hospitalization and activity limitations. Obesity has been linked to asthma as a risk and exacerbating factor. Evidence suggests that weight reduction has a positive effect on asthma control. However, there is also debate on the role of the ketogenic diet in asthma control. Here we present a case of asthma who reported markedly improved asthma after starting a ketogenic diet in the absence of any other lifestyle change. Over the four months on the ketogenic diet, the patient reported losing 20 kg of weight, reduction in blood pressure (without antihypertensives), and complete alleviation of asthma symptoms. This case report is important as the control of asthma after a ketogenic diet is not studied well in humans and therefore needs to be studied extensively.

The effects of eight weeks' very low-calorie ketogenic diet on liver health. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Nutrients. 2023 Feb 6 ;15(4). Epub 2023 Feb 6. PMID: 36839183 Abstract Title: The Effects of Eight Weeks' Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) on Liver Health in Subjects Affected by Overweight and Obesity. Abstract: Very low-calorie ketogenic diets (VLCKD) are widely employed in successful weight-loss strategies. Herein, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of a VLCKD on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and parameters commonly associated with this condition in overweight and obese subjects who did not take any drugs. This prospective, real-life study included thirty-three participants who followed a VLCKD for 8 weeks. NAFLD was diagnosed using transient elastography (FibroScan). Data on anthropometric measurements, bioimpedance analysis, and biochemical assays were gathered both before and after the dietary intervention. BMI (kg/m) (from 33.846.55 to 30.896.38,

The ketogenic diet and neuroinflammation. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Int J Mol Sci. 2023 Feb 4 ;24(4). Epub 2023 Feb 4. PMID: 36834515 Abstract Title: The Ketogenic Diet and Neuroinflammation: The Action of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate in a Microglial Cell Line. Abstract: The ketogenic diet (KD), a diet high in fat and protein but low in carbohydrates, is gaining much interest due to its positive effects, especially in neurodegenerative diseases. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the major ketone body produced during the carbohydrate deprivation that occurs in KD, is assumed to have neuroprotective effects, although the molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects are still unclear. Microglial cell activation plays a key role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, resulting in the production of several proinflammatory secondary metabolites. The following study aimed to investigate the mechanisms by which BHB determines the activation processes of BV2 microglial cells, such as polarization, cell migration and expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, in the absence or in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a proinflammatory stimulus. The results showed that BHB has a neuroprotective effect in BV2 cells, inducing both microglial polarization towards an M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype and reducing migratory capacity following LPS stimulation. Furthermore, BHB significantly reduced expression levels of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 and increased levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. From this study, it can be concluded that BHB, and consequently the KD, has a fundamental role in neuroprotection and prevention in neurodegenerative diseases, presenting new therapeutic targets.

Anti-tumor effect of the ketogenic diet against DMH-induced colon cancer. "IndyWatch Feed Health"
PMID: Maedica (Bucur). 2022 Dec ;17(4):812-819. PMID: 36818275 Abstract Title: Anti-Tumor Effect of the Ketogenic Diet against DMH-Induced Colon Cancer in Rats. Abstract: Colon cancer is one of the most common malignancies with significant importance. Recent theories believe that cancers are metabolic diseases. Therefore, the role of metabolism in the prevention and treatment of cancer has been considered and the ketogenic diet is one example. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of the ketogenic diet and a high carbohydrate diet on tumor size and number, histopathology, and insulin level as well as VEGF level in 1, 2 dymethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colon cancer in rats. Forty adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups as follows: control, colon cancer, ketogenic diet, and high carbohydrate diet groups. For induction of colon cancer, 30 mg/kg of 1,2 DMH solution was injected subcutaneously twice a week for 24 weeks. The results showed that the ketogenic diet reduced tumor size, number, and histopathological changes as well as VEGF level (P

XRP Explodes With 1,300% Surge In Trading Volume As crypto Exchanges Jump On Board "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
In a long-awaited decision, Judge Torres ruled in favor of XRP in their case against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yesterday. The verdict is a positive development for the cryptocurrency industry, particularly with a focus on whether digital assets should be deemed securities in the US.
The ruling is expected to set a precedent for the industry moving forward. It is positive for both altcoins and the wider industry, as the default expectation is that these assets are not deemed securities so long as they are made available to the public.
This event will likely have wider implications for ongoing legal cases and may help rebuild confidence in the industry for developers and attract more liquidity to the ecosystem.
XRP Defies Expectations With Massive Price Surge And Trading Volume Spike
Following the news, XRP saw a surge in price, reaching as high as $0.93, the highest price since May 2021, and closing at $0.82.
According to data compiled by the research company CCData, the news led to an influx of trading activity, with XRP trading pairs on centralized exchanges (CEX) recording a total volume of $6.05 billion on the day, an increase of 1351% from the previous day.
The relisting of the asset on other centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini has also contributed to the spike in volumes.
The news surrounding the ruling also led to almost 100% daily gains for XRP, with other tokens such as Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA), recently deemed securities, seeing significant gains of 35% and 28%, respectively.
Despite the negative backdrop that XRP has faced due to the lawsuit, its market depth liquidity at the 1% level has remained resilient year-to-date (YTD). XRPs 1% bid/ask side depth at Yearly Open was 26.5 million XRP, which saw a variance of 0.41% throughout the year and remained strong at 25.1 million XRP on the 12th of July.
Derivatives Data Shows Positive SentimentAccording to the report, Derivatives data indicate that XRPs positive funding rate remained steady over the past few days, in line with the wider positive market sentiment.
The lawsuit news generated a significant rise in speculative interest on the bid side, with a $280 million increase in Open Interest, from $635 million to a high of $913 million across exchanges. Moreover, funding rates reached over 0.03% across exchanges, over three times higher than its baseline level of under 0.01% before the announcement.
On the other hand, the funding rate history of XRP shows that speculators trading perpetual contracts have been favoring the upside, with minimal time......
