Artist Transforms the Tips of Pencils Into Miniature Masterpieces "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Artist Transforms the Tips of Pencils Into Miniature Masterpieces
Usually, pencils are a tool to create art. However, Daya (also known as Daya Micro Art) transforms these utensils into masterpieces themselves. The Sri Lankan artist carefully carves the graphite tips of wooden pencils into amazingly detailed sculptures that deserve a close-up look.
Each piece is smaller than a human fingertip, yet Daya utilizes no special tools to bring his art to life. Instead, he relies on a craft knife, a microscope, and a magnifying glass to meticulously chip away at the graphite until he renders the desired subject. Using this dedicated method, he has made everything from planes and motorcycles to people, objects, and architecture.
While the level of detail is awe-inspiring, it is equally impressive to see how Daya manages to create his sculptures while keeping them attached to the rest of the graphite of the pencil. It surely requires a great deal of patience and care to ensure that the art does not break away from the body of the utensil.
You can follow Daya on Instagram and Facebook to keep up to date with his latest work.

Arkansas Senator Calls For Reversal Of Controversial New Crypto Mining Law "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
In April 2023, Arkansas made history by becoming the first state to pass the Right to Mine Bitcoin bill in both the House and Senate. However, the Right to Mine law in Arkansas is encountering increasing opposition as it relaxes regulations on commercial crypto mining.
Reports have suggested that loosening restrictions on commercial cryptocurrency mining has raised concerns. This is because after enacting the new law, large electricity-intensive crypto mines entered Arkansas.
The legislation has sparked controversy by limiting the authority of city governments to regulate crypto mines. This has effectively stripped them of their ability to enforce local ordinances concerning such operations.
During the 2023 legislative session, Arkansas Senator Bryan King (R) from District 28 expressed criticism of the bills introduction. And Senator King is reportedly planning to introduce another bill aimed at repealing the controversial Right to Mine law.

Reports indicate that residents have raised numerous concerns, including excessive noise, substantial power grid usage, and the fact that Green Digital LLC., the company behind the proposed crypto mines in their cities, is a subsidiary partially owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
Some Towns Have Rejected Proposed Crypto-Mining Facilities
Arkansas Senator Bryan King has taken proactive steps by drafting a bill aimed at repealing the controversial law related to crypto-mining. One of the major worries is the strain on the local power grid caused by the electricity-intensive nature of crypto-mining operations.
Reports have surfaced that some areas are already facing warnings of potential brownouts or blackouts. This is because of the increased energy consumption from these facilities.
As of the current moment, local reports indicate that Arkansas is home to approximately 10 crypto mines. Vilonia and Harrison, two towns in Arkansas, have prevented attempts to establish proposed crypto-mining facilities within their respective city limits.
Senator Bryan King has further contended that crypto mines do not serve as economic boons to the communities where they establish their operations.

Stunning Photos Capture Multiple Hours of the Day and Night Within a Single Image "IndyWatch Feed Arts"

A place can change dramatically depending on whether the sun has risen or already set. Photographer Stephen Wilkes challenged himself to capture all of these variations in his series Day to Night: From Africa to Nantucket. These landscape photos seamlessly combine numerous images taken at different times of the day into one immersive shot.
Wilkes' photography transports viewers to locations across the globe, including Brant Point Lighthouse in Nantucket and Chilo Lake in British Columbia, Canada. On one end of each image is a depiction of the day, and as your eyes move across the composition, you travel through the hours until it is nighttime in the same location. To create such a seamless display, Wilkes had to merge hundreds of exposures, requiring meticulous editing and blending to achieve the final result.
Each image showcases a breathtaking view of a single spot, though the passage of time is more strikingly apparent in some places than others. For instance, in the image of Manitoba, Canada, which is located very far north, the day and night are virtually identical. Whereas, in the shot of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, we see a much clearer transition from the darker tones of the evening to the pure sunlight of the day.
You can purchase Wilke's book Day to Night, which includes more stunning photos in the series, via Bookshop.

Bitcoin Near Crucial Retest: Which Of These Historical Patterns Will Repeat? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
On-chain data shows a Bitcoin indicator is near a crucial retest currently that may decide where the cryptocurrency will go next from here.
Which Pattern Will Bitcoin Follow Next: 2016 Or 2019?
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC SOPR for short-term holders is approaching the baseline. The Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) is an indicator that tells us whether Bitcoin investors are selling/moving their coins at a profit or at a loss right now.
When the value of this metric is greater than 1, it means that the average holder in the market is realizing some amount of profit with their selling currently. On the other hand, values below this threshold suggest loss taking is the dominant force in the market at the moment.
Naturally, the SOPR being exactly equal to the 1 baseline implies the total amount of profits being realized are exactly canceling out the amount of losses as the market as a whole is neutral.
This SOPR is for the entire Bitcoin market, but in the context the one for just a single segment of the market: the short-term holders (STHs).
The STH group includes all the investors who purchased their coins less than 155 days ago. This cohort generally includes the weak hands of the market, who may easily react to fluctuations in the market.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 90-day and 365-day moving averages (MAs) of the Bitcoin STH SOPR over the last few years:
As displayed in the above graph, the 90-day MA of the Bitcoin STH SOPR (colored in yellow) broke out above the 1 baseline back when this rally first started around the beginning of the year.
This breakout suggested a shift towards profit selling for these investors, something that has historically been observed in all previous major rallies in the cryptocurrency.
With the latest leg in the Bitcoin rally above the $30,000 mark, the 365-day MA of the indicator (highlighted in blue) has also managed to climb up above this mark.
While this has been happening, though,...

Creating a World of Distrust "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
I remember a time when people were left to their own devices when determining what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
Remember Bat Boy? A strange Weekly World News (sister tabloid to the National Enquirer) creation set to terrorize and dismay. Did anyone really believe this? I doubt if many did. Some did, Im sure, but what can ya do? I remember wondering about it. I was still young and impressionable (actually, I still wonder about it, I guess I am old and impressionable now). The operative word here is wonder. No government agency told me I was not allowed to wonder if something was true or not. I figured that out on my own. Why is this good? Well, for one thing, you would have to be a nutcase to allow the government, or any authoritative power, to tell you what you were allowed to wonder about. Secondly, wondering is healthy. It hones your senses; you figure stuff out on your own. There is nothing more powerful than having to figure something out on your own. It takes something called thinkingwhich seems to be in low supply these days. I just saw a meme with two heads speaking to one another. One head is visibly angry and is saying something like, look at this!!! holding up a cell phone. The other head says, oh yeah, let me tell you what I think of that. The angry head says, shut up idiot!! You are not an expert!! Theres more to it than that, but thats enough to make my point. Expert? Since when do you have to be an expert to have an opinion? Sure, if you were in an operating room witnessing a brain surgery and the surgeon moves a scalpel in a certain way and you yell out, excuse me, Dr. Surgeon, uh, I think you might want to cut THAT instead. And the surgeon says, shut up, idiot!! You are not an expert!! MAYBE that would be okbutwho knows? I have a real life experience similar to that little story.

Stellar Makes Surprise 70% Rally Start Of Something Big For XLM? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Stellar (XLM) has registered a surprise surge, catapulting itself into the forefront of the crypto market frenzy. Beginning July 18, this surge has taken the digital asset on a solid price rally, propelling its value to new heights.
Currently, XLM is trading at $0.1617, representing a 22.1% increase over the past 24 hours. Even more remarkable is its exceptional performance over the previous week, which has soared by 68.8%, and dominating the top 100 roster of cryptocurrencies.
Now, the question on everyones mind is: What is driving this surge?
XLM Makes Waves: Catalysts For Price Surge
XLMs remarkable ascent is primarily attributed to a significant development in the crypto space Ripple Labss legal victory against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the solid performance of XRP, which has likewise registered an impressive 72.3% climb at the time of writing.
A judge ruled that Ripple did not violate securities regulations when it sold its XRP token on public exchanges. This verdict sent XRP prices soaring and created a ripple effect (no pun intended), propelling other altcoins, including XLM and even Bitcoin (BTC), to surge in value.
Meanwhile, crypto exchange Coinbase has fully embraced the Stellar network, enabling seamless deposits and withdrawals of USD Coin (USDC). This integration bolstered Stellars status and expanded its reach, attracting more interest and investment to the platform.

Chainlink (LINK) Bulls Reclaim Dominance With 16% Rally, Heres Why "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Chainlink (LINK) is currently on an uptrend, with the bulls showing much dominance in todays market. According to data from CoinMarketCap, LINK is up by 16.94% in the last 24 hours, emerging as one of the biggest daily gainers in the crypto market.
Whats Driving LINKs Price Today?
According to the on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain, LINKs price gain appears to have been triggered by some recent whale activity.
Lookonchain reports that two whale addresses, 0xc212 and 0x86bd, which they suspect belong to the same person, purchased $6 million worth of LINK in the early hours of Thursday.
2 whales (probably the same person) bought a total of 788,877 $LINK ($6 million) for $7.62 just now.
The whale swapped all 3,074 $stETH ($5.87M) and 71 $ETH ($136K) for 788,877 $LINK.
This purchase increased the price of $LINK by 6.5%. pic.twitter.com/ajLBP8Vesz
Lookonchain (@lookonchain) July 20, 2023
The transaction was made by both whale addresses swapping a total of 3,074 stETH, valued at $5.87 million, and 71 ETH, valued at $136,000, for 788,877 LINK tokens.
Lookonchain noted that this whale movement immediately boosted LINKs price by 6.5%, and the token appears to have been on an uptrend since then.
Interestingly, Lookonchain has also reported two more whale transactions on the Chainlink network in the last hour. The analytics platform notes that the whales with the wallet address 0x0fAC and 0x67c8 have just purchased a total of 227,281 LINK tokens valued at $1.82 million.

2.4 Trillion SHIB Moved To Unknown Wallet: Bullish Wave Ahead For Shiba Inu? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Earlier today, a massive trove of SHIB tokens was relocated from Binance.US, the American subsidiary of the worlds largest crypto exchange, Binance. These tokens, amounting to roughly 2.4 trillion according to WhaleAlert, have been transferred to an unknown wallet.
2,416,836,656,676 #SHIB (18,771,570 USD) transferred from #BinanceUS to unknown wallethttps://t.co/8ujqIZ5C5i
Whale Alert (@whale_alert) July 19, 2023
This movement of SHIB tokens is particularly noteworthy as this comes amid the anticipation which is running high as Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, hinted at the upcoming release of Shibarium mainnet and Worldpaper in August.
Whale Alert Triggers Market Speculation
According to Whale Alert, the blockchain tracking and analytics provider, the wallet transfer from Binance.US to an unknown wallet comprised approximately 2,416,836,656,676 SHIB tokens, which, at the time of transfer, were worth around $18.77 million.
Though this transaction could be interpreted as a positive sign, suggesting that whales, or large-scale investors, are acquiring and hoarding SHIB tokens by moving their SHIB asset to an unknown, privately-held wallet, signaling their intent to hold for an extended period.
However, a deep dive into Etherscan data also shows that Binance.US has since been shuffling tokens to a fresh wallet address identified as 0x058A over the past couple of days. This wallet, interestingly, now holds a mix of 69 different tokens collectively valu...

Solana (SOL) Continues To Shine With Over 20% Surge Whats Next? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Solana (SOL) offered an attractive chance for buyers to seize a favorable risk-reward ratio as it retraced to test a previous resistance area. At the same time, the market remained under the bulls control.
Furthermore, the on-chain metrics displayed promising performance. Notably, the number of active users experienced a gradual uptick, and an extraordinary surge in smart contract deployment on the platform was also observed.
Could this impressive on-chain performance indicate even more significant potential for Solana in the future?
Analyzing SOLs Performance
According to data from Coingecko, the current
trading price of SOL has reached $26.58, marking a 1.0% increase in
the past 24 hours. Even more striking is the remarkable seven-day
rally, where SOL has surged by an impressive 21.7%.
These metrics indicate a positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency and suggest potential opportunities for investors and traders.
While a slight loss of bullish momentum may have been observed in the lower timeframes, the 1-day chart revealed substantial bullish potential for SOL. A SOL price report suggests that despite minor fluctuations in shorter periods, the overall outlook for SOL remains optimistic, especially considering the strong performance of the bulls throughout July.
Strength In Bullish Momentum And Demand
Two critical indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the On-Balance Volume (OBV), further support the bullish outlook for SOL. The RSI showcased robust bullish momentum, indicating that the buying pressure has been significant during the recent price surge.
Additionally, the uptrend in the OBV signaled a considerable increase in demand for SOL, fueling the impressive rally in its price.
With SOLs price showing strength and resilience, investors may consider this a positive sign for the cryptocurren...

Bitboy Predicts XRP Will Soar To $35 On Heels Of Ripple IPO "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
In a recent tweet, Ben BitBoy Armstrong, a controversial figure in the crypto community, stirred discussions with a noteworthy projection for the future price of XRP. The excitement began when Evan Luthra, an angel investor and Forbes 30 under 30 award winner, tweeted, XRP just surpassed BTC trading volume. Its now the highest trading crypto asset. Whats your price target for Ripple?
Will XRP Rise to $35?
BitBoys response can be classified as very bold when he said $15 is reasonable, I think over 18 months or so. If they IPO and time it right, could be up to $35 imo. At the heart of Armstrongs projection is his belief in the long-term growth potential of XRP, with the projected price of $15 signifying a whopping 1,720% increase from its current price.
This optimism may be bolstered by the recent legal victory by Ripple which has provided some clarity for XRP. Remarkably, BitBoys enthusiasm didnt stop at $15, as he suggested that XRPs price could potentially reach $35 if Ripple proceeds with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and times it strategically. Achieving this target would necessitate a staggering surge of 4,200%.
The rumors about an upcoming IPO of Ripple are not new. CEO Brad Garlinghouse hinted at the possibility already before the SEC lawsuit. Its likely the agency threw a wrench in the companys plans.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to approach such forecasts with caution, as BitBoy himself acknowledged the inherent unpredictability of the crypto market. Cryptocurrencies are renowned for their price volatility and susceptibility to various external factors, making accurate predictions a challenging task. BityBoy added:
Make no mistake it may not go that high but XRP IS breaking an all time high this cycle save some sort of pointless, vindictive SEC appeal. (Low chance)
Also, the influencers optimistic outlook on XRPs potential is not entirely new. In April, he had already identified XRP as his top altcoin pick for the next bull run, contingent on a favorable outcome in the SEC lawsuit. A positive resolution would provide the asset with much-needed legal and regulatory clarity, potentially acting as a further catalyst for growth.
In another tweet the influencer reacted to a Twitter user who stated Everything is breaking ATH this cycle. Armstrong answered that he doesnt think so, revealing his picks for such altcoins, Solana, Dogecoin, Shiba all potentially on that list. Previous top 10 coins that didnt make new aths last cycle: NEM, NEO, Dash, BCH, XRP (for good reason) etc. Dont fall into the same trap I did last cycle. Everything doesnt perform.

So is this dad an a**hole for not letting his son go on a graduation road trip because he needs to watch the youngsters?
Check out his story and see what you think.
AITA for having my son miss his graduating road trip to watch his sibling?
My son just graduated high-school and we were paying so he could go on a road trip with his friends.
He was supposed to go Wednesday, my wifes mother and father got in a car accident. They live in another state so we had to drive about 4 hours. My wife was a wreck and wasnt in the position to drive since we her dad was critical. He pulled through luckily.
We have two other kids 11 and 7. We cant leave them at home alone and we couldnt find a sitter to watch them on such short notice, we even tried our neighbors but he couldnt do it. So that left our 18 year old. He was pissed to put it mildly but did it. I told him we would make it up to him, and if he could ask if his friend could move it back a week. They couldnt sadly.
We were gone for two days, he pulled though. My wife stayed and I headed back, I payed him for watching the...

Does Einsteins Theory of Special Relativity Suggest That There Is an Afterlife?: A Theoretical Physicist Explains "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Lets talk about the physics of dead grandmothers. Thus does theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder start off the Big Think video above, which soon gets into Einsteins theory of special relativity. The question of how Hossenfelder manages to connect the former to the latter should raise in anyone curiosity enough to give these ten minutes a watch, but she also addresses a certain common category of misconception. It all began, she says, when a young man posed to her the following question: A shaman told me that my grandmother is still alive because of quantum mechanics. Is this right?
Upon reflection, Hossenfelder arrived at the conclusion that its not entirely wrong. For decades now, quantum mechanics has been hauled out over and over again to provide vague support to a range of beliefs all along the spectrum of plausibility. But in the dead-grandmother case, at least, its not the applicable area of physics. Its actually got something to do with Einsteins theory of special relativity, she says. With that particular achievement, Einstein changed the way we think about space and time, proving that everything that you experience, everything that you see, you see as it was a tiny, little amount of time in the past. So how do you know that anything exists right now?

Take a High Def, Guided Tour of Pompeii "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
If you want to understand ancient Rome, its architecture, its history, the sprawl of the Roman Empire, youve got to go Rome. So says archaeologist Darius Arya in the video above, making a fair, if obvious, point. But you also have to go to the Vesuvian cities: that is, the settlements located near the volcano Mount Vesuvius on the Gulf of Naples. You have to go to Herculaneum. You must go to Pompeii. Not just because theyre famous, but because of the level of preservation. This preservation was a side effect of the explosion of Vesuvius in 79 AD, which destroyed all life in Herculaneum and Pompeii, but also kept the basic structures of both cities intact; visiting either one today allows us to get immersed in the world of the Romans.
It is in Pompeii that the videos creator Manuel Bravo (previously featured here on Open Culture for his explanations of the Great Pyramids of Giza and Filippo Brunelleschis dome in Florence) immerses not just himself but also us in that world.

Cardano (ADA) Price Action Points To Potential Trend Reversal "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Cardano (ADA) is recently showing signs of a potential trend reversal. But after staging an impressive 48% rally from its low in June, the ADA price faces crucial hurdles to solidify its bullish stance.
Cardano (ADA) Price Analysis
Cardano enthusiasts have had their patience tested as the ADA price navigated through a series of ups and downs. Following a dip to $0.221 in June, Cardano embarked on an impressive 48% rally, fueled in part by positive sentiment stemming from the Ripple legal dispute with the SEC. During this period, the price surged to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, sparking excitement among the bulls.
However, enthusiasm soon waned as the buy side struggled to stabilize above the 200-day EMA (blue). ADA subsequently corrected back to the crucial breakout level at $0.30, where the bulls regained their footing and lifted the price above the EMA50 (orange).
Bullish ADA Price Targets
For the short-term outlook to brighten further, ADA needs to overcome some important hurdles. The first key resistance is at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, sitting at $0.328. A successful push beyond this level could open the path for an attack towards the $0.355 mark, where the 200-day EMA poses its most significant challenge.
However, an impulse from the broader crypto market, Bitcoin or also more positive news from the Ripple legal battle with the SEC is probably required for this. Only when the buy side can recapture the 200-day EMA on the daily closing price, the probability for a near-term trend reversal increases significantly.
A sustained break of the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.38 is essential for a true bullish trend reversal. This milestone would increase the probability of revisiting the previous weeks high. For this, a breakout above the critical zone between $0.361 and $0.38 would be a trend reversal for the bulls.
If successful, the ADA...

XRP Maintains Bullish Run With Nearly 80% Rally Is $1 Within Reach? "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
XRP has undergone a remarkable price upsurge, surging to more than $0.80 and witnessing an impressive 77% increase over the past seven days in trading activity. This surge was predominantly triggered by Ripples partial victory against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the court ruling, a judge acknowledged that Ripples institutional sales could be considered securities. However, its important to note that not all other sales were classified similarly. This ruling is widely perceived as a significant victory for Ripple Labs and its digital token.
Currently, XRP is edging closer to a crucial resistance level at $0.85, signaling a solid buying pressure prevailing in the market. This optimistic trend bodes well for Ripples medium-term prospects, suggesting favorable times for the digital token.
XRP Price Surge And Market Cap Inflow Post-Ripple Vs. SEC
Data from crypto market tracker CoinMarketCap shows that XRP is trading at $0.8368, with an impressive 5% increase observed within the last 24 hours. Over the past seven days, the crypto has experienced a substantial surge of a little over 77%.
This remarkable growth has coincided with an inflow of more than $16 billion to XRPs market capitalization. Notably, the market cap has risen from $25 billion on July 12 to its current value of $44 billion, with a significant portion of this increase occurring shortly after the outcome of the Ripple-SEC court case.
Despite the remarkable surge, XRP faces a formidable resistance zone at $0.85. This region is characterized by high selling pressure and increased supply, making it challenging for the digital currency to breach this level.
Nevertheless, the market sentiment among traders remains bullish, which enhances the probability of XRP breaking through the resistance region.

Woman Asks if Shes Wrong for Wanting to Live With Her Parents and Not Her Husbands "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Marriage is a tricky thing when it comes to the in-laws
And things can get pretty testy!
So is this woman an a**hole for wanting to move her parents and to put her husbands folks into a nursing home?
Get all the details below and see what you think.
AITA for wanting to move in my parents and not my husbands, and suggesting putting them in a nursing home?
I (35f) have owned our home since before marriage, and we have a prenup. In day to day life we refer to it as our home, but my husband (37m) has never paid anything towards it and has no legal rights to it.
All of our parents are still alive, but my husband and I were both the youngest children, and our parents are all much older.
His mom has some dementia, and his dad has some major mobility issues. They can no longer stay in their home. Due to mil wandering the street recently, adult social services have been involved. He has two siblings, one is an addict and is in prison. The other has four kids and lives in a two bedroom apartment. Neither of his siblings can take them in, so its us or a nursing home.
Both of my parents are older, and have recently retired. They live in a major city, but cant afford to live there on just retirement. They need to move. My older brother is dead so its just me that my parents can rely on.

AITA for not letting my sister in law hold our baby?
My wife and I just brought home our beautiful baby.
When we got home, I wanted my older son to hold the baby (he is fourteen), but my wife said no. She said she wasnt comfortable with anyone but us holding the baby yet. I wasnt happy about this, but I respect that, as a mom, shes anxious about how vulnerable our baby is. So I let it go.
Yesterday her sister came over and wanted to hold the baby. I said no, that my wife and I arent comfortable with anyone but us holding him yet. My wife then said it was fine, that her sister was a special case. I said no, that I wasnt comfortable with it. Her sister was offended and left.
My wife is angry with me and says I was an a**hole to her sister. I think I am just being consistent. Was I an a**hole to my sister in law?

And this one is a doozy
So go ahead and get started now and see what you think!
AITA for leaving my sisters wedding early because she kept my husband out of pictures?
My (31M) sister Anne (34F) got married on Saturday. My husband of 7 years, Mark (32M), was there with me and up until one point, is was an amazing evening.
After the ceremony, Anne wanted a picture with all of our siblings (theres five of us) and their respective partners so we started lining up.
When Anne saw that my husband was standing next to me, she shook her head and said something about him ruining the aesthetic. Apparently, her plan was to put one man and one woman next to each other alternately.
My youngest sister (18F), who doesnt have a partner and was standing on the very side, offered to stand between the two of us, so we could be close and Annes wish would still be respected.
I thought that was a great solution, but Anne disagreed and told Mark to get out of the picture. Hes quite introverted and tries to avoid confrontation under all circumstances, so he simply compiled and told me not to get angry, but it w...

In my country (Brazil), old people sit in front of their houses and do absolutely nothing for hours, just watching people and cars go by.
This is more common for lower social class, for instance my grandma and her friends gather everyday at someones door and just sit there until the night comes (they are retired).
Doesnt make sense, does it?
Voting for politicians and policies that will negatively harm the younger generations while having zero positive or even neutral effects on their own lives.

AITA for saying no to my wife to be a bridesmaid?
I (am or was) going to be the best man at my brothers wedding next year. My wife was invited to be a bridesmaid and she Initially said yes.
It turns out that the bride is now expecting my wife to get a whole new wardrobe for the bridal showers, bachelorette party, rehearsal, and reception dinner on top of her bridesmaids dress. The only color shes allowed to wear to all of these events is the same lavender color as her bridesmaid dress. She was even given a few swatches of that material to take shopping with her. The shoes and makeup have to match for photos. Even pajamas have to match.
The bachelorette party is a week getaway plus all of the other events its like an additional 10 days of clothes that my wife will never wear again. She normally wears black or dark color clothes.

104 Year-Old Veteran Says Jack Daniels, Jim Beam Secret To Long Life "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
Arthur Walters Jr., a veteran who recently marked his 104th birthday, has a unique secret to his long life his faithful companions, Jim Beam and Jack Daniels. Walters, who has lived over a century without the aid of any medication, attributes his longevity to these two renowned whiskey brands.
In his early twenties, Walters obtained his pilots license and joined the Air Force. Today, he stands as the sole surviving member of his squadron, a testament to his resilience and strength.
Walters is known for his vibrant sense of humor and his unique perspective on life. When asked about the secret to his long life, he jovially credits his two good friends, Jim Beam and Jack Daniels. This statement, while humorous, also hints at Walters approach to life one filled with joy, laughter, and a touch of the unexpected.
Despite his age, Walters remains active and engaged, offering pearls of wisdom to younger generations. His advice is simple yet profound: if you desire something, you must be prepared to work for it. And if you stumble along the way, dust yourself off and get back on track.
Now, lets delve deeper into the topic of longevity and the factors that contribute to it. While Walters secret to a long life is certainly unique, its worth noting that longevity is a complex interplay of various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and environment.
Genetics plays a significant role in determining how long we live. Some people, like Walters, may have a genetic predisposition to longevity. However, genes alone dont guarantee a long life. Lifestyle choices, such as diet, exercise, and habits like smoking or drinking, can significantly impact our lifespan.
Interestingly, moderate alcohol consumption, particularly of red wine, has been linked to a longer lifespan. This is primarily due to the presence of resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and other fruits, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its important to note that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to numerous health problems and shorten lifespan....

RFK Jr. Announces Bold Plan To Back Dollar With Bitcoin, End Bitcoin Taxes "IndyWatch Feed Crypto"
Speaking at a Heal-the-Divide PAC event, Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. outlined specific Bitcoin-focused policies that he would enact as president, including gradually backing the U.S. dollar with bitcoin and making bitcoin profits exempt from capital gains taxes.
My plan would be to start very, very small, perhaps 1% of issued T-bills would be backed by hard currency, by gold, silver platinum or bitcoin, Kennedy said, describing his vision for returning to a hard currency standard in the U.S.
He added that, depending on the outcome of that initial step, he would increase that allocation annually.
This potential policy reimagines the financial system, pointing to a future where bitcoin's absolute scarcity and sound monetary principles reinforce the U.S. dollars eroding position as the world reserve currency.
"Backing dollars and U.S. debt obligations with hard assets could help restore strength back to the dollar, rein in inflation and usher in a new era of American financial stability, peace and prosperity," he declared.
In addition, Kennedy announced his administration will gains taxes.
"The benefits include facilitating innovation and spurring investment, ensuring citizen privacy, incentivizing ventures to grow their business and tech jobs in the United States rather than in Singapore, Switzerland, Germany and Portugal, he added. Non-taxable events are unreportable and that means it will be more difficult for governments to weaponize currency against free speech, which as many of you know, is one of my principal objectives."
During his announcement, Kennedy reiterated the slew of commitments he made to foster Bitcoin adoption during a speech at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in May, which included defending the right of self custody of bitcoin, upholding the right to run a node at home and defending industry-neutral regulation of energy.
Kennedy framed his commitments to Bitcoin as integral to the ideals of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and his own vision for governing a free and equitable country.
My uncle, President Kennedy, when he was in office, understood the importance of hard currency and the dangers of having pure fiat currency with no other option, Kennedy said. He understood the relationship between fiat currency and war, fiat currency and very, very destructive environmental projects and also these giant aggregations of wealth and the unbalance, the disparities in wealth that are the ultimate yield of every fiat currency.
Reflecting on the history of fiat currencies, Kennedy didnt mince words, citing the frequent use of unbacked paper currency to fund wars without the need for specific government taxation or citizens approval.

Mystery Abounds in Lee Madgwicks Uncanny Paintings of Derelict Buildings "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
The Veil. All images Lee Madgwick, shared with permission
A sense of unease surrounds the buildings in Lee Madgwicks paintings, their sides crumbling or coated in thick vegetation as they stand alone in fields or swamps. The neglected structures appear lifted from cities and towns and dropped directly into rural landscapes, where nature slowly envelops their brick facades or sprouts trees from their eaves. Im forever drawn to places of abandonment and isolation, Madgwick tells Colossal. Im compelled to explore these enigmatic wonders. Theres a poignancy and an unwavering silence and fragility that hangs in the air.
Containing only remnants of human life, the scenes prompt questions about the buildings origins and caretakers. Some pieces, like The Veil, depict a home long-deserted by inhabitants as thick vines cover the lower windows, while others like Fen View suggest that people remain, as a small window is neatly trimmed out of an overgrown hedge.
Working in what he terms imagined realism, the artist uses a mix of water-mixable oil and acrylic paints layered during the course of several weeks. The skies are painted with the palms of my hands and fingertips. Its the most expressive part of the process, he shares. Together with a brooding sky and concentrated light a sense of drama is formed and a narrative is set in motion.
Madgwick has a solo show slated for October at Brian Sinfield Gallery in Burford, Oxfordshire. Until then, find his work on Instagram and shop limited-edition prints on his site. (via...

Van Gogh Museum Releases Sustainable Sneakers Based on the Iconic Artists Masterpieces

As one of the world's most beloved artists, Vincent van Goghs art has been reimagined in many forms. Not only have we seen his paintings as candles, but we've also seen them printed onto apparel. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is adding to this evergrowing catalog with some new artsy shoes, made in collaboration with sustainable sneaker brand Cariuma.
All of the footwear from this special collection is based on paintings by the Dutch Post-Impressionist. Four options are available for men and women. Two of these feature Van Gogh's distinct sunflower paintings, one is decorated with some of the other blooms he rendered, and the other pair of shoes features Wheatfields with Crows. The latter of which is one of the last paintings Van Gogh created during his lifetime. There is even the addition of his distinct Vincent signature placed somewhere on the shoes.
All of Cariuma's sneakers are made from sustainable materials, like organic cotton, recycled nylon rubber, bamboo, sugarcane, cork, and castor oil. Plus, which each purchase, the brand commits to planting two trees in Brazil, where the company is based. So, in addition to being stylish and creative, fashionistas can feel good about giving back to the environment too.
You can purchase these Van Gogh shoes via Cariuma's website.

Flight Attendant Makes Announcement for 6-Year-Old Who Beat Cancer and the Plane Erupts in Cheers

You may never know the stories of the people you cross paths with, but some deserve being told out loud and shared widely. On a recent Southwest flight, the crew introduced a very special guest to the passengers. On board was Jessa, a 6-year-old girl flying back home from her Make-a-Wish foundation trip to Disney World. Sheare y'all ready for thishas just beaten cancer and is now cancer-free, the flight attendant announces. How do you like that?
In a clip posted by Jessa's mom, the passengers can be seen clapping for the little warrior. All the while, the flight attendant praises her bravery. Yes, that is an amazing accomplishment, he adds in response to the cheers. We want to welcome you home, we want to wish you a very healthy, happy, prosperous, and long life ahead. Keep fighting, takes a fighter, doesn't it? I'm glad you're here with us.
Jessa's road to health has not been an easy one. In August 2022, her mom posted a video depicting her battle with cancer. 762 days, 61 chemo infusions, and hundreds of pills. She is done. It is done, she captioned the clip. In it, little Jessa can be seen taking all the countless pills she needed for her treatment, and keeping her spirits up throughout the ordeal.
The little girl's story has since gone viral, raking in over 2 million views on TikTok. Now, on top of a plane full of well-wishing passengers, Jessa has the whole world rooting for her. Thank you all for lovin...

The Prepare for Change Healing Group Invites You To a Public Call
Saturday, July , 2023 8am Pacific, 10am Chicago, 11am NY 3pm UTC, 4pm London, 5pm Paris
Hosted by Kathy Graf Welcome back! We've been taking a bit of a summer vacation since so many families have kids on summer school break. But we don't like to hold off on healing so we're back this Saturday and hope you will join us. You may wonder why dragonfly was chosen as this week's image. Dragonflies are marvelous creatures and much like hummingbirds. They can fly up, down, sideways, and backwards, at incredibly fast speeds. They only live for a couple of months but help with eradicating mosquitos as its one of their food sources. They are considered a sign of hope and great change as they are always on the move in their short lives. The dragonfly can be a symbol of self that comes with maturity. They can symbolize going past self-created illusions that limit our growth and ability to change. The Dragonfly has been a symbol of happiness, new beginnings and change for many centuries. Dragonflies represent hope, change, and love. That's precisely what we wish to inspire in you who attend our call! Kathy Graf will start us off with our protection protocol and a guided meditation to send healing. After that, we invite each of you to speak, if you're so moved. But I have something I'd like you to think about before Saturday, so you're prepared. Question of the day to ponder and answer - How are you inviting the energy of dragonfly into your life and what signs and synchronicities have you noticed? I hope you're paying attention! A couple of things happened over the weekend that I'd like to share with you, and we would love to hear about your experiences! If you've...03:45

Australian Man and His Dog Rescued Off the Coast of Mexico After 3 Months at Sea "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Australian Man and His Dog Rescued Off the Coast of Mexico After 3 Months at Sea
El da de hoy uno de nuestros buques rescat a Timothy Lyndsay Shaddock, de 54 aos de edad, y a su perrita Bella en su catamarn en el Ocano Pacfico, despus de 3 meses en altamar a ms de 1,200 millas de tierra. @Grupomar pic.twitter.com/BSeRQRkZi4
Antonio Guerra (@Guerra_Autrey) July 18, 2023
After three months at sea, Australian sailor Timothy Lyndsay Shaddock and his dog Bella are back on dry land. The 54-year-old was picked up by a Mexican tuna boat about 1,200 miles from land earlier this week. And while the crew described them as being in a precarious state when they were picked up, both are doing well after receiving medical treatment.
It was sheer luck that the Grupomar boat spotted the pair. Shaddock's catamaran Aloha Toa was battered by bad weather just one month into his attempt to sail from La Paz, Mexico, to French Polynesia. The storm knocked out the boat's electronics and from that point on, Shaddock and Bella were on their own.
They survived by eating raw fish and drinking rainwater until luck shined down upon them, and they were rescued. During a press conference in the Mexican port city of Manzanillo, Shaddock reflected upon his ordeal and expressed his gratitude for those who rescued him.
To the captain and the fishing company that saved my life, what do you say? I'm just so grateful. I'm alive, and I really didn't think I'd make it. He also added that he was feeling really good after being rescued.
Shaddock is on his way back to Australia and, unfortunately, had to part with Bella. His faithful companion, which he found in Mexico, will now be living with a member of the crew who rescued him. Shaddock called her amazing and said that he'd tried to find her a home three times previously but that she'd continued to follow him. He's eternally grateful that she survived as well.
The entire experience has given Shaddock a new lease on life. When things get tough out there, you have to survive. And then when you get saved, you feel like you want to live.

Intuitive Astrology: Aquarius Super Full Moon 2023 "IndyWatch Feed Spiritual"
The Aquarius Full Moon arrives at the top of the month on August 1st. As a lunar cycle is 29.5 days, this means we are set for another Full Moon on August 30th, a Blue Moon in the sign of Pisces.
Both of these Full Moons will be Super Moons, meaning they will be closer to Earth, and we will feel their effects more strongly.
While the Pisces Super Blue Moon deserves its own article, having two Full Super Moons in the same month indicates a strong pull to release, detox, let go, and walk away from all that is no longer resonant with our being.
By the end of August, we are likely to find ourselves left with some empty space, whether that be physically, emotionally, or both.
The Aquarius Super Full Moon, a Portal to Healing
The Aquarius Full Moon on August 1st is the perfect entrance point to this journey of creating space. It holds a sweet, healing vibration, guiding us to gently and lovingly prepare to let go of all that is heavy.
We are likely to feel strong healing vibrations under this Full Moon, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. This heart-healing energy will be further amplified as Venus, the planet of love, will be deep in her retrograde journey.
We may find painful emotions, heartbreaks, grief, and disappointments rising to the surface. We may feel extra emotional and sensitive, and while it may be intense, especially leading up to the Full Moon, we are likely to feel a sense of relief once it passes.
The Water Bearer Moon
Aquarius is the sign of the water bearer, but dont let that mistake you. Aquarius is an air sign, which means energy will be concentrated around our heads. It may be hard for us to get out of our heads. Our thoughts may swirl; we may find ourselves going back and forth over things.
While it can be challenging to stay out of this headspace, it may be necessary for us to pause and listen to what our thoughts have to say.
Writing things out on paper, talking things through with a friend, or simply taking the time to have a conversation with our mental chatter may bring some relief.
As the water bearer, Aquarius energy holds the gift of being able to take the mental chatter, emotions, and psychic debris (water) that are in circling and transmute them before returning them back to earth. In this transmutation process, this psychic debris is returned to a zero-point state, to a state of neutrality.
When this state is achieved, the mind can think clearly, we can feel more aligned, and the right answers can be found more easily.
Aquarius energy can help us to see intellectually, logically, but also from a state of neutrality so we can make the best decision moving forward.
Of course, the process is not...

The Final Dead Shows: Part Three "IndyWatch Feed Literature"
Black-and-white Bobby. Photographs by Sophie Haigney.
Lets start with the dark stuff. On Saturday night in San Francisco, after the second-to-last-ever Dead & Co. show, every single ATM near the ballpark was apparently out of cash, because people couldnt stop buying balloons filled with nitrous oxide, huffing them on the street for just a few more seconds of feeling high. The bars nearby were overrun, quite literally, long after everyone should have been at home. People go down at showsit happened right in front of us one night, the medics rushing in and carrying someone out. There are, not infrequently, overdoses. There is too much of everything, sometimes. Im at that point in a bender where beer isnt really doing anything for me anymore, I heard someone joke on day three of the three-show run.
It is not that easy to drink yourself to death, actually, which I know because I have watched a lot of people try, but I could imagine it happening to many people in the context of the long slide of years or decades spent following the band. I always think There but for the grace of God go I, and I really mean it. So many people are dead and gone, among them the Deads lead songwriter, guitarist, and singer Jerry Garcia, who was killed by his own addiction to heroin at the age of fifty-three. Do you think of Jerry as a prophet or a saint? my friend asked me on Sunday as we got ready for the last show ever. The mood was elegiac, though the fact of finality wasnt really sinking in, which might be why we kept repeating it over and over. I cant believe its really the last one, someone said, not for the first time. What are we even going to do next summer? my friend lamented. Are we going to like have to get really into Phish? We are NOT getting into Phish, someone else insisted, though we all agreed we would probably go see Phish at Madison Square Garden in August.
We put on our last clean Dead T-shirtswe were all running low and trading with one anotherand headed back to the ballpark. A few of us had decided last minute to upgrade our tickets so we could be on the floor. I had never been on the floor...

Destiny: Bruce Scofield, Mayan Astrology "IndyWatch Feed Uncanny"
A contemporary and practical guide to Mayan astrological
techniques
Discusses the logic and meaning of the 20 day-signs of the Mayan
calendar
Explains the many cycles of Mayan astrology, such as the 9-day
cycle of the Night Lords and the 13-day trecena
Contains extensive tables of Mayan astrological data, allowing
readers to cast their own Mayan horoscopes
How to Practice Mayan Astrology presents a contemporary guide to
one of the most sophisticated astrological systems ever developed.
Like other ancient peoples, the Maya looked to the cycles of the
planets as markers of time and designators of order. The
predictable cycles they observed became codified in the Mayan
calendar and astrological system as a way of organizing the seeming
chaos of human life.
Mayan astrology is based on 20 named days that are cycled 13 times
to create a 260-day calendar, the Tzolkin. The authors explain the
symbolism, logic, and meaning of the 20 day-signs; how these signs
reflect 260 possible personality types; and how they can be used
for divination. They also explain the important role of the Four
Directions and the planet Venus in ones personality matrix and life
issues. Included are extensive, easy-to-use tables of Mayan
astrological data, allowing readers to determine their day-signs,
to see how these signs are also influenced by the cycle of the
Night Lords and the 13-day trecena, and to cast their own
horoscopes.
BRUCE SCOFIELD is the author of seven books on astrology, including
Day-Signs: Native American Astrology from Ancient Mexico and Signs
of the Time: An Introduction to Mesoamerican Astrology. He has been
a practicing astrologer since 1969 and lives in Amherst,
Massachusetts. Barry C. Orr is a software developer who designed
some of the early computer programs used by technical astrologers.
He is coauthor, with Bruce Scofield, of the Maya-Aztec Astro
Report, a software program that identifies personality delineations
based on the Mayan calendar. He lives in New Jersey.

Womans Photochromic Dress Changes Color in the Sun From White to Pink "IndyWatch Feed Arts"
Womans Photochromic Dress Changes Color in the Sun From White to Pink
Photo: Screenshot from TikTok
A color-changing dress is something that sounds like it's straight out of a fairytaleor an illusion that has the whole internet polarized. But sometimes it's also a very real dress that actually does change color. In a now-viral video posted by @izzipoopi, the fashion influencer wears a cream knit dress at the beginning, announcing, My dress changes colour in the sun! She then walks outside, and as she steps out of the shadows, the garment begins its colorful transformation. By the end, the dress has completely turned pink, much to the wearer's delight.
The dress in question was created by New York-based fashion brand PH5. The name of the dress is Sponde UV Reactive Reversible Maxi Dress and it's part of the brand's UV Reactive collection, which also includes color-changing skirts, shirts, and cardigans. PH5 states, Using our innovative yarns we knit pleated & ribbed pieces that will transform in to bright pink's & blue's in the sun.
For some users, this color-changing clothing reminds them of Hypercolor, a fashion company that was trendy in the 90s. Although those garments transformed in a similar manner, they changed due to heat, while the PH5 dress changes with UV light. Though there isn't much info about the tech, it was most likely developed in the company's knitwear mill in China. We work hand in hand with our computer engineers and technicians to code and pattern each design, PH5 explains. Thanks to this advantage, we are able t...

We have to confess we werent overly (at all) familiar with the NPC streaming phenomenon, in which TikTokers mimic the robotic movements and catchphrases of NPCs in video games.
