How to write to a bat .


Andre Willers
20 Dec 2014

Synopsis :
Use 3D printers to create acoustic Bat Braille pictographs a bat can understand .

Discussion :
1.We derive a quick and dirty resolution for bat chirps
See Appendices A and B for background.

The argument:
Wavelength = Speed/frequency
Speed of sound = 344 m/sec , highest bat freq  = 120 000 Hz
Wavelength = 344 / 120000  meters
= 2.86 mm
See http://www.tritech.co.uk/chirpfor resolution enhancement via chirp  . At least a factor of 5
This gives the chirping bat a resolution of about 2.86/5 = 0.572 mm .
Refining it a bit more in air
Range resolution = (velocity of sound) / (bandwidth x 2) - See more at: http://www.tritech.co.uk/chirp#sthash.chNLkJC0.dpuf

Range Resolution = 344/ ((120000-10000)x2)
=1.56 mm
This means that all bats can read Bat Braille with an ridge  of 1.6 mm .
This is trivial to print with a 3D printer .

2. What language to teach bats ?
Luckily  , this problem has been solved .
Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs fit the bill , though an extra convention to denote movement vector would have to be built in .
There is also the added benefit of an evolutionary path to spoken or !click interfaces .
Hieroglyphic , Hieratic , Demotic , etc

3.This raises the intriguing possibility of previous communication .
Young humans and bat frequency ranges overlap . Click speakers might have established communication with bats .
Look for very fine scorings (1.6 mm ) in caves or on stones .
Bats would be limited to patterned guano deposits . This might have lasted longer , and be visible under the right light-frequency observation .
The history of the last 100 000 years from the bat’s viewpoint should be really interesting .
 
4.Future communication :
Simple Bat classrooms lined with 3D printed Hieroglyphs . Use an arrow , straight or curved  to denote vector sense .
Use humans younger than about 25 years (before higher frequency hearing degenerates.)
 
5.Economic benefit .
Enormous .
5.1 Bat Bounty Hunters targeting only certain harmful insects will save billions .
If you can communicate with them , you can designate desired behaviours and rewards .
Disease prevention .
5.2 Bat pollinators cheaper .
5.3 Space travel : Superb In-flight maintenance crew .

5.4There would be a significant military advantage .
A bat squadron would be far cheaper and more effective than drones .
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb. A US plan during WWII
 
6.Religion .
If a bat can read and write  , does it qualify for Human Rights ?
ObamaCare ?

There is a similar ethical problem with AI’s .
See

If humans create intelligence , are humans ethically liable for juvenile species  ?
I’ve got a feeling that God would see it that way . It is even human common-law .

7.Bat Market .
If they deliver a service , they have purchasing power .
What consumer goods would a bat like ?

7.1 Bat TV must be number one .
An interesting challenge .
A Sonic TV
Can be done . A 3D printed raster ridge 1.6 mm high and 0.8 mm apart .
The signal is transduced to a chirp and scanned very rapidly across the raster .
I doubt whether bats have persistence of vision , but they have something better : the vector sense of movement .
Frames can simply be encoded with this and the bat sensorium will assemble it to make sense .

What movies would a bat like ?
“Top gun” , undersea documentaries , owl movies . Batman comics with bat comments in guano .
The mind boggles .


  7.2 Food , clean air , habitat , education , medical .
When they ask for a BatMobile with batman as chauffeur , you know they have arrived .

7.3 Fashion .
Scents , body colorations , oils ,vitamin pills ,condo’s in Miami ,  etc ,etc .
“I was a bodyguard to a Bat !”  “He was a good tipper , too”
Dracula Inc to sue Bat Inc
 
8. So , now you know how to write to a bat .

When the Bat answers back , you know you are going batty .

What is it like to be a fish?
What is it like to be a fish?
Andre Willers
8 May 2008

For Egbert Louw Jr

What is it like to be bat?
There is a famous philosophical treatise by the philosopher Thomas Nagel titled : “What it is like to be a bat” . Google it for the article .

In the finest polysyllabic , philosophical tail-chasing style he states that experiencing a truly alien consciousness is impossible , but he also makes the statement that we can sneak up on it . This is what he is famous for .

The relevant quote :

“This should be regarded as a challenge to form new concepts and devise a new method—an objective phenomenology not dependent on empathy or the imagination. Though presumably it would not capture everything, its goal would be to describe, at least in part, the subjective character of experiences in a form comprehensible to beings incapable of having those experiences. “

To be able to do that , we have to have a mapping method relating the bat’s sensorium to the human visual system . This is the other reason why he is famous . The bat is sufficiently alien , yet still a mammal . The underlying neurological structures are still mammalian . We can still make a map .

Echolocation:
A number of mammals have successfully adapted visual information processing brain-systems to handle echo-location . Dolphins , whales and bats are but the best known ones . This is no accident . There is a deep underlying neurological structure that makes the conversion between binocular vision and echo-location depth perception possible .

We can thus know that we can map the sensorium of a bat to an analogue of our visual system .
Evolution has already done it .

Chirping:
A pulse of sound composed of rapidly varying frequencies . By analysing the time-returns and absorption characteristics of the reflected chirp , information analogous to shape and colour can be inferred . Also used in human chirp-radars .

So , how does a bat see?
Like a myopic human with 95% vision , but with a Vector-sense of motion of objects inside the chirp cone .

He flies through a 30 metre visual bubble in which he can clearly see things and motion-curves of objects bigger than about 0.5 mm . Outside it , things are misty .

We know that they can discriminate half a mosquito length from about 10 metres . This is nearly as good as human vision . But objects in relative motion are highlighted in the chirp-cone .

This is the motion sense , which humans do not have : the alien bit . Like a vector arrow on a radar-screen . Humans have to calculate the vector of motion , bats perceive it directly . Since the refresh rate is directly proportional to the chirp-cone scanning rate , the bat perceives curved motion directly in his sensorium .

This is why they can catch insects on the fly .

The chirp-cone is flicked around in scanning cone , much like the saccades in the human eye-ball . Doubtlessly , there are some very sophisticated optimization scanning algorithms involved . The bat sees a seamless picture , like a human sees a seamless picture in his sensorium . All the low-level jittering is smoothed out in the sensorium .

Time-binding:
The alert reader will have noticed that bats have a better sense of time-binding than humans or monkeys . They can perceive trajectories directly .

Why are bats not then the dominant life-form on the planet ?
The same evolutionary trap that got birds : the atmosphere is not thick enough to sustain a flight-form with sufficient mass to have a large individual brain . If they come to land , they have to compete against superbly adapted land-predators . I have seen some videos of bats on foot actually running down small prey . But any decent cat or dog family member would soon put a stop to this .

There have been some speculations (Vernor Vinge is notable) of sound-linked communal minds . I see no inherent theoretical impossibility . But the brain has to be large enough to handle the essential data-linkages . This would require packing-protocols outside evolutionary boundaries . But , I suppose , some demented scientist could create intelligent bat-communal beings . They would out-compete any other mammals .

Bats are likely to survive an eco-catastrophe . (Time-binding goes deep . ) If surface dwelling niches are opened to them , they could very well evolve to smarter and better caretakers of the planet than humans .

What would it be like to be such a bat ?
Since they can directly perceive a trajectory , self-destructive behaviour would be much less likely .

“Catch the mosquito while diving into the ground” would be one of their favourite sayings .

More intelligent than humans in calculating consequences , but less creative .
Pak-protectors without the xenophobia .


Now we sneak up on the fishes .

First , look at dolphins , whales , etc . Their sensorium is similar to that of the bat . Their primary sense is the echo-location chirp . But water is different . A dolphin sees a three-dimensional sensorium of another water-animal . At first glance , the sensorium should be overwhelmed by too much information . There is no surface to a sonar scan of a water-filled animal. This is why the chirp is important .

Time and absorption differences to the various different frequencies in the chirp enables the dolphins sensorium to construct the “surface” of whatever is scanned .

It was thought that the dolphin saw a human in the water like we would see a glass model , with all the organs somehow magically delineated . The dolphin simply does not have the processing power to see three-dimensionally . What it does is use the tried and trusted surface-visual algorithms to do layering . It can see various sound-reflective layers . As far as a dolphin is concerned , a human is not a single entity , but a compendium of layers . But all the other living things in it’s environment is like this

It can focus on various aspects .

The critical question is : what is the definition ? What is the smallest thing a dolphin can sense with its chirp ?

The evidence suggests about half a cm . There is a heavy energy cost to generate really high-frequency water pressure waves .It is not like sound waves . The minimum necessary would evolve . The sensorium of a dolphin would have significantly less definition than that of a bat . (Factor of 10)

Dolphin Sound Spectacles .
Since humans are so enamoured of dolphins , why not give them glasses?
Not for their eyes , for their sonar .
Uplift them .

Noise-nullification technology can be easily adapted to give a dolphin the resolution to see things at cellular level . Even a classical large lens of denser than water material will do the trick . The inverse can just as easily be done , to give them the capability of zapping tumours .

They are already rumoured to be beneficial to sick humans .
I would not be so sure about killer whales .

Or zygote manipulation .

I draw your attention to the unpredictable effects of giving spectacles to human populations .

The reason why dolphins et al do not communicate is that they cannot see us . They need glasses to focus .

Do humans have the courage to do this ?

Now for what it is like to be a fish .
Fish are not mammalian . Rather trite , but true . The primary sense organ of the fish is the pressure sense . A fish uses pressure to sense how far away it is from the surface of the water .

Near the shore:
So , to think like a fish , invert . Your upside down feet is treading on the surface of the water from the bottom . If the surface is choppy , think of walking over rough ground .

It costs the fish energy and effort to maintain an equal depth .

Where would you go ?

Where feeding and turbulence combines optimally . Two thirds away from the centre of a sloop and two thirds down at that point . (Values derived from Infinite Probe considerations)

If you think walking upside-down under the sea-surface is weird , you should try me on my better days .

Bottom dwellers cling to the sky .

Scent and electrical senses also play a role .

The fish “sees” an endlessly quaking surface under it , with the mists around it riven by channels of scent , with a false top of the thermocline .

Sharks examine things close by via electrical fields . So they see the close environment as twisting network of electrical fields .

A lemon with connected copper and zinc wire should make a fine shark lure .


What is it like to be a deep sea fish ?

Untrammelled freedom .

The densities of population in the deep sea used to be lower than survival levels . Continental shelves were used for risky spawning . That is until humans conveniently started melting the ice-caps , causing upwellings of nutrient rich waters along the oceanic trenches . You don’t need shoals to ensure reproduction . Think like a fish , with about 400 million years of survival mechanisms .

SuperFilter and DiabetesII


Andre Willers
22 Dec 2014
Synopsis :
Add Psyllium husks to activated charcoal to create a SuperFilter .

Discussion :
1.Fine networks with mucus can filters particles smaller than mesh sizes .
“While it may not seem intuitive that filters can trap particles smaller than the size of their mesh, the fingernail-size marine salp (Pegea confoederata) depends on it for its survival. As the salp pulls the surrounding sea water into its body, it uses muscles to ensure the flow is as calm and orderly as a river on a windless day. By eliminating the effects of turbulence, particles smaller than the mesh, such as bacteria, viruses, and colloidal masses, pass extremely close to the net material. At a certain distance from the net, they adhere to the sticky netting material continuously secreted by the salp. Particles even smaller than bacteria, viruses, and colloidal masses diffuse right into the filter material. The specific fluid mechanical conditions which P. confoederata creates in its filtration systems enable it to trap particles with diameters as small as 0.01 micron (viruses, colloids, etc.) even though the filter mesh measures ~ 1.5 x 6 microns. This adaptation allows the macroscopic salps to survive on a diet of some of the tiniest biological life-forms known.”
 
2. Pore size distribution (frequency) for activated charcoal .









Where
Micropores smaller than 2 nm   , Mesopores 2 to 50 nm    and Macropores  bigger than 50 nm . (nm= nanometer=10^-9 m)
Viruses are of the order  30 nm to 1000 nm .

3. Activated charcoal effectiveness :
As can be seen from the graph above , the number of pores are proportional to the area under the curve .
Large ranges (estimated 2/3) of virus sizes will not be filtered by activated carbon .

4. Now add psyllium at various concentrations (vol of water , time) .
This gives a tunable filter spread .
The activated charcoal is the equivalent of a nanomesh , and the psyllium husks adds the mucus factor .
The spikes in the above graph flatten to a more effective mean .
 
5.What does this mean ?
5.1 Major cosmetics application in skin rejuvenation .
This is not medical advice .
See Appendix A for the recipe of a simple patch .
Now add Retinol for rejuve .
If burn wound , try adding http://www.allimax.us/, Allicin has been widely used in burn units .

5.2 Cheap anti-biowar filter .
5.3 Should filter out most stuff smaller than 1100 nm .
But these still have to be rendered harmless .

5.4 Non-invasive diagnosis :
Remove parch , chop it up and drop various pieces into test tubes .
Test as required .

6.Diabetes II
Substance- P is the neurotransmitter involved in Diabetes II . It is 100-300 nm across .

This falls into the least reactive zone of activated charcoal .(See graph above)
So , some benefit would be achieved by mixing psyllium with activated charcoal and swallowing it .
But how much , and how long to wait while the psyllium gel densifies ?
Try recipe in Appendix A , but with ½ cup of water. Drink immediately after stirring and chase with another ½ glass of water .
Monitor blood sugar .

7. If this works , you have a nice Xmas present .
Else, at least a handy SuperFilter .

Compliments of the Season to all

Appendix A
Recipe On How To Make A Charcoal Patch
¼  cup of water
2 Tablespoons of charcoal powder
1/2 teaspoon psyllium seed husk powder (if doubling recipe start with slight 3/4 tsp)
Plastic
Bandage wrap or strips of cloth and safety pin or other fastener
 
Put water in glass and gently add activated charcoal powder and psyllium seed husk powder. Stir for approximately one minute, until the mixture begins to gel and pull away from the glass and forms a ball.  Be patient and do not add more psyllium seed husk for this will make the gel hard and not workable.  

Lay out a 12" x 12" piece of plastic wrap and place gel in the center.  Smooth out to desired shape, about three inches from center in all directions or how desired.  Place another piece of plastic on top, the same size as the bottom, gently press down and then roll out to desired size and thickness, as if you were rolling a pie crust.

Now place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, can last up to three months. Remove and let thaw before using, which takes about 15 minutes. Cut poultice (do not cut frozen) to desired size/s. Return unused portion to freezer.

Carefully remove one side of plastic from patch and apply to affected area and gently press down.  You may wish to wrap again with a plastic wrap to keep from leaking and or then apply a cloth bandage to hold in place.

Change patch at least every eight hours.

Abstract
The unlabeled substance P (SP) antibody-peroxidase-antiperoxidase reaction was used on tissue prior to embedding in epoxy reins for ultrastructural identification of the SP cell and its immunoreactive granules. The SP cell is 10-20 μm in diameter and has sparse cytoplasm with numerous intensely reactive SP granules 100-300 nm across, large clear vacuoles, elaborate smooth endoplasmic reticulum, fragmentary rough endoplasmic reticulum, dispersed ribosomes, few mitochondria, and a modest Glogi apparatus. The large SP-reactive granules are discharged into the extracellular space, either with cell membrane intact or as unbound dense material. The membrane-bound dense granucles are transported intact through endothelial cells into the blood or are picked up by Schwann cells and fibroblasts. Other SP-reactive granules lose their limiting membranes, fragment, and then disperse into fine immunoreactive grains that bind to the extracellular matrix and to collagen. Dispersed SP-reactive granules are transported within myriad pinocytotic vesicles across endothelial cells with numerous luminal plications and are discharged into the blood. Pinocytosis of dispersed SP-reactive material, that can be detected intracellularly, also occurs in Schwann cells and fibroblasts. The SP axons to the substantia gleatinosa are unmyelinated or finely myelinated. Their synaptic varicosities display a generalized axoplasmic immunoreactivity, which also occurs in and around small vesicles. The larger SP synaptic vesicles are intensely reactive.

Synopsis:
Endogenous H2S increases lifespan .

Discussion :
1.H2S is back !

H2S and the molecular mechanics of freezing metabolisms .

See Appendix A below for latest findings . Endogenous H2S creation increases lifespan . A sort of fast hibernation .

2.Why endogenous H2S?
Safety switch . Organisms without it simply goes into hibernation at the first volcanic eruption , and gets eaten by those with the safety switch .

3. How it works .
 http://www.jneurosci.org/content/16/3/1066.short 
(1) an H2S-producing enzyme, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), is highly expressed in the hippocampus; (2) CBS inhibitors hydroxylamine and amino-oxyacetate suppress the production of brain H2S; and (3) a CBS activator, S-adenosyl-L-methionine, enhances H2S production, indicating that CBS contributes to the production of endogenous H2S. We also show that physiological concentrations of H2S selectively enhance NMDA receptor-mediated responses and facilitate the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation. These observations suggest that endogenous H2S functions as a neuromodulator in the brain.

4.Also the general metabolism .
Supplements
http://nccam.nih.gov/health/supplements/SAMe

This gives all the foods to avoid . 
CBS activator, S-adenosyl-L-methionine, enhances H2S production


5.Fasting every third day will then work . But stop MSM addititives during fasting.

6. Intermittent fasting 

Eat your heart out .

Molecular mechanism behind health benefits of dietary restriction identified

Increasing endogenous hydrogen sulfide production during dietary restriction plays a major role in delivering the benefits of longevity and stress resistance.
Credit: Image courtesy of Harvard School of Public Health
A new study led by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers identifies a key molecular mechanism behind the health benefits of dietary restriction, or reduced food intake without malnutrition. Also known as calorie restriction, dietary restriction is best known for its ability to slow aging in laboratory animals. The findings here show that restricting two amino acids, methionine and cysteine, results in increased hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production and protection against ischemia reperfusion injury, damage to tissue that occurs following the interruption of blood flow as during organ transplantation and stroke. Increased H2S production upon dietary restriction was also associated with lifespan extension in worms, flies, and yeast.
Although H2S gas is extremely toxic in high amounts, low levels present in naturally occurring sulfur springs have long been associated with health benefits. Mammalian cells also produce low levels of H2S, but this is the first time that this molecule has been linked directly to the health benefits of dietary restriction.
"This finding suggests that H2S is one of the key molecules responsible for the benefits of dietary restriction in mammals and lower organisms as well," said senior author James Mitchell, associate professor of genetics and complex diseases. "While more experiments are required to understand how H2S exerts its beneficial effects, it does give us a new perspective on which molecular players to target therapeutically in our efforts to combat human disease and aging."
The study appears online December 23, 2014 in Cell.
Dietary restriction is a type of intervention that can include reduced overall food intake, decreased consumption of particular macronutrients such as protein, or intermittent bouts of fasting. It is known to have beneficial health effects, including protection from tissue injury and improved metabolism. It has also been shown to extend the lifespan of multiple model organisms, ranging from yeast to primates. The molecular explanations for these effects are not completely understood, but were thought to require protective antioxidant responses activated by the mild oxidative stress caused by dietary restriction itself.
First author Christopher Hine, research fellow in the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases, and colleagues demonstrated that one week of dietary restriction increased antioxidant responses and protected mice from liver ischemia reperfusion injury, but surprisingly, this protective effect was intact even in animals that could not mount such an antioxidant response. Instead, the researchers found that the protection required increased production of H2S, which occurred upon reduction of dietary intake of the two sulfur-containing amino acids, methionine and cysteine. When the diet was supplemented with these two amino acids, increased H2S production and dietary restriction benefits were both lost.
The investigators also found that genes involved in H2S production were also required for longevity benefits of dietary restriction in other organisms, including yeast, worms, and flies.
"These findings give us a better understanding of how dietary interventions extend lifespan and protect against injury. More immediately, they could have important implications for what to eat and not to eat before a planned acute stress like surgery, when the risk of ischemic injury can be relatively high," said Hine.

30 Dec 2014

Synopsis :
Further evidence of the Matriarchal war .

Discussion :
1.See
Came to some conclusion  around 3 000 BCE .
See
Garrison withdrawal

Major victory for one side .

2.Now , evidence of another underground fortified position (like Malta) , abandoned in the same time-frame .
Nevsehir . See Appendix A .
Since it is newly discovered , we can test the Matriarch Hypothesis by predicting features we would expect :

3. Predictions :
3.1  Acoustic properties of magnification and detection . Chambers and channels .
3.2 Acoustic channels leading from Nevsehir (might seem like drains)
3.3 Orderly withdrawal . No debris . Like Orkney . Likely one huge party  before disbandment .
3.4 Weapon systems still intact , but without some critical parts , notably the operators .

3.5 If a Saflieni-type event occurred , there should be a bone-field . If there is not , then it is probable that the fortress was on the winning side and simply stood down (like Orkney)

3.6 Hard Evidence :
Apps are available that can see into walls . Just connect them with pattern recognition software .
The operation instructions of the fortresses are encoded in the walls . !Click-speakers can access them .
But so can we with teraherz scanners .

Look for Schumann resonances . See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances
Basal  7.83 Hz. And the acoustic weapons coupling that did in the matriarchs .

Critical components were probably buried nearby .
Everybody was sick and tired of war .

4. The Treasure .
It seems the Matriarchs lost . Their treasure was biological . Things like precious metals did not count for much .
Still , they liked jewelry and shiny things .
Losing meant deaths in the thousands . Also tons of precious worked metals and jewels .

Where ?
A good candidate is Sedlec  in the Czech Republic .
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedlec_Ossuary. Building on a an already existing reputation .





Note the mound . Really interesting things to be found at 3000 BCE levels .
If you have the courage and a good biohazard suit .
The whole place was booby trapped to hell-and-gone .

Definitely a job for Lara .

Happy digging .

Massive ancient underground city discovered in Turkey's Nevşehir
Erdinç ÇelikkanANKARA
An underground city newly discovered in Turkey’s Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir, which is located under the Nevşehir fortress and the surrounding area, may be the biggest archeological finding of 2014, which is soon to end. AA Photo
With 2014 soon coming to an end, potentially the year’s biggest archeological discovery of an underground city has come from Turkey’s Central Anatolian province of Nevşehir, which is known world-wide for its Fairy Chimneys rock formation.

The city was discovered by means of Turkey’s Housing Development Administration’s (TOKİ) urban transformation project. Some 1,500 buildings were destructed located in and around the Nevşehir fortress, and the underground city was discovered when the earthmoving to construct new buildings had started.

TOKİ Head Mehmet Ergün Turan said the area where the discovery was made was announced as an archeological area to be preserved.

“It is not a known underground city. Tunnel passages of seven kilometers are being discussed. We stopped the construction we were planning to do on these areas when an underground city was discovered,” said Turan.

The city is thought to date back 5,000 years and is located around the Nevşehir fortress. Escape galleries and hidden churches were discovered inside the underground city.

Stating that they were going to move the urban transformation project to the outskirts of the city, Turan said they had paid 90 million Turkish Liras for the project already, but did not see this as a loss, as this discovery may be the world’s largest underground city.

Hasan Ünver, mayor of Nevşehir, said other underground cities in Nevşehir’s various districts do not even amount to the “kitchen” of this new underground city.

“The underground city [was found] in the 45 hectares of the total 75 hectare area that is within the [urban] transformation project. We started working in 2012 with the project. We have taken 44 historical objects under preservation. The underground city was discovered when we began the destruction in line with the protocol. The first galleries were spotted in 2013. We applied to the [Cultural and Natural Heritage] Preservation Board and the area was officially registered,” said Ünver.

The newly discovered underground city will be the biggest among the other underground cities in Nevşehir that have been discovered so far.

Hit the Wall.

Synopsis :
Hit the Wall with the Restless Leg Syndrome , Swollen Legs and Acidosis .

Discussion :
1.The Cure :
Legs up the wall with proper breathing for about 15- 20 minutes a day .
Pictures tell it better :






 
2.How does it work ?
2.1 Fluid reservoirs in the legs drain.
2.2 At the same time , proper breathing reduces acidity of the circulating fluid (blood et al) , also initiating normal buffering .
As is usual with these things , nobody wants to stick their necks out to give detailed practical guidelines (this is not medical advice)
So , it is done ab initio in from basic principles Appendix A .

2.3 Surprize , surprize !
Most people with RLS and swollen legs will find that their breathing rate is well below 12 Breaths per minute .
And distributed in the wrong ratio’s.
See Appendix A .

3.Why does it work ?
3.1.After numerous ups-and-downs in blood and lymph pH due to too acidic foods (meats , mainly) , the body learns to store extra buffering bicarbonates in the fluid accumulation in the legs . Especially if said legs aren’t used too much .
See

3.2 Swollen legs .

Appendix A .
Optimal pH balancing breathing .
Human normal adult breathing rate is 12 to 20 Breaths per minute .
Say an average of 15 BPM .
CO2 is the Reserve being considered .
We analyse the breathing process as follows .
Inhales 2/3 , exhales 1/3
1/3 of inhales or exhales is in Hold category .

Optimal Ratio’s
Inhale  Inhalation  2/3x2/3 = 0.44             1 inhalation time
            Hold           2/3x1/3 = 0.22             1/2 inhalation time
Exhale  Exhalation 2/3x1/3 = 0.2222         1/2 inhalation time
             Hold          1/3x1/3 = 0.1122         1/4 inhalation time

Forcing it :
A general BPM of 12 to 20 gives 5 to 3 seconds per breath cycle .  
Many people have a longer cycle .

Relevant causes here :
Imbalance of electrolytes which are mineral related substances needed for conducting electrical impulses (bicarbonate , potassium)
Obstructive sleep apnea which is the repeated disruption of breathing during sleep. (RLS)

So , forcing faster breathing to 15 BPM (ie 1.76 second for inhalation ,etc) will reset mechanism .
This what Yoga breathing does .
Or (quelle horreur!) exercise with proper breathing .

Synopsis:
Central Banks tried to control the economic system , but the oil price was a variable outside their control. A major technological shift occurred in energy production . Predictably , this then exacerbated all the weak points in the controls .

Discussion
Oil is headed for $0 to $10 as a generous upper boundary.

Why ?
See

Appendix A
Stop Taking Antibiotics When You Feel Better?

Conventional wisdom: Antibiotic regimens should be taken in full, even after the patient feels healthy again. 
Contrarian view: Shorter courses are often just as effective and do a better job at preventing antibiotic resistance. 
You know the drill: When you’re prescribed a typical seven- to 14-day antibiotic course, do not, repeat, do not forget to take all the drugs. This take-all-your-pills orthodoxy, championed since the discovery of antibiotics some 70 years ago, is based on eliminating all bacterial culprits as quickly as possible.
Doing so, in theory, reduces the odds that the bugs will develop random mutations or pick up drug-resistant genes from other bacteria. Plus, the sustained antibiotic onslaught supposedly ensures that any hardier, partially drug-resistant bacteria also succumb, and thus don’t pass on “stepping-stone” genes leading to full-blown resistance.
An emerging view, however, suggests that standard long antibiotic courses are wrong on both counts — they’re no better than shorter courses and actually promote antibiotic resistance. 
“The science is clear,” says infectious disease specialist Brad Spellberg of the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute. “Every study that has been done comparing longer versus shorter antibiotic therapy has found shorter therapy just as effective.” A few days of taking antibiotics, it seems, should usually be enough to knock infections on their heels, allowing the patient’s immune system to come in and mop up.
Taking the full course of antibiotics unnecessarily wastes medicine, and more drugs translates to increased evolutionary pressure on the harmless bacteria in our bodies. These “good” bugs can develop drug-resistant genes, which can then transfer to bad bugs. 
Furthermore, wiping out drug-susceptible bacteria in infections too quickly makes it easier for drug-resistant bacteria to compete over a host’s resources. Better access to nutrients lets the mutant bugs multiply far more rapidly, upping the odds that they’ll reach a so-called “transmissible density.” That means the resistant bacteria proliferate so much that they can escape and infect another person. 
In essence, if you take all those extra antibiotics, you might be doing the worst bugs’ dirty work for them by removing a check on their growth. 
Shorter antibiotic regimens, in contrast, intentionally allow some susceptible bacteria to survive in order to help suppress any resistant pathogens. A recent study showed just this: Mice infected with both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant malaria, when treated less aggressively, were 150 times less likely to pass on the resistant pathogens. 
Multiple studies demonstrate how doctors might gauge when to end antibiotic therapy. (See “Less Is More? Selected Studies” below.) Thriving bacteria raise blood levels of the hormone precursor procalcitonin, for example; guiding treatment based on procalcitonin concentrations led to half as much antibiotic use across seven studies, with no drop in cure rates. More signs of improved health, such as fever alleviation, could also indicate antibiotics are no longer necessary.
Overall, the accumulating data lend support to the heretical notion of patients, in consultation with their doctors, stopping their pill-popping upon feeling better. “The issue of continuing therapy until all doses are done is an old wives’ tale,” Spellberg says. “There’s no data to support it. You can’t make a cured patient better.” 
Less Is More? Selected Studies
• Mild to moderate pneumonia: Three days is as effective as eight (el Moussaoui et al., 2006, British Medical Journal); four studies suggest three days is as effective as five in children (Haider et al., 2008, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews).
• Hospital-acquired ventilator-associated pneumonia: Eight days is as effective as 15 (Chastre et al., 2003, Journal of the American Medical Association); eight studies suggest for certain pneumonias, seven- to eight-day courses have better outcomes than 10 to 15 (Pugh et al., 2011, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews). 
• Acute pyelonephritis (kidney infection): Seven days is as effective as 14 (Sandberg et al., 2012, The Lancet). 
• Septic arthritis (joint infection): Twenty days can cure most cases compared with the typical one to two months of antibiotics usually accompanied by surgery (Peltola et al., 2010, The Pediatric Infectious Diseases Journal).

Mysterious Pyramid Bumps


Andre Willers
7 Jan 2015
Synopsis :
The portrusions found on large stone blocks are yoke-stabilizers for the strap-on rollers used to transport the blocks .

Discussion :
1.The bumps :
Menkaure pyramid , Egypt



 

Inca Roca wall , Cusco , Peru


 
See Appendix B for how these would stabilise rollers strapped on .
Presumably , outward facing protrusions need not have been trimmed , as they would been used to stabilize facing .

2.The solution in Appendix B (Strap-on rollers turning the block into dodecagon(12 sided ) shape that can be easily moved over rough terrain
without tearing up the surface seems to be the preferred solution .
The protrusions on the blocks seem to fit the hypothesis .
Occams Razor applies .

Strap-on quarter wheel segments would need some prepared and maintained roadway , as well as elaborate manufacture of the segments .
See Appendix C and Appendix A .
Something like the image below .
 
3. This would need an awful lot of wood .
We do an approximate estimate .
The Palermo Stone records of Snefru's reign:
“Bringing of 40 ships filled (with) cedar wood “  J. H. Breasted, Ancient Records of Egypt, Part One, § 146 <

Sneferu (also read Snefru or Snofru), well known under his Hellenized name Soris (by Manetho), was the founder of the 4th dynasty during the Old Kingdom. Estimates of his reign vary, with for instance The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt suggesting a reign from around 2613 BC to 2589 BC,[4] a reign of 24 years, while Rolf Krauss suggests a 30-year reign,[5] and Stadelmann a 48-year reign.[6] He built at least three pyramids that survive to this day and introduced major innovations in the design and construction of pyramids in Ancient Egypt.
So , one fleet carried about 3 000 tons of cedar wood . This is about 7650 cured, mature cedars . Average height about 100 feet . (based on American Red Ceder data)
Average pyramid block size was 5ft x 8ft x 12 ft . From the protrusions in the pyramid of Menke , it seems as it the rollers were placed on the shortest size (The wood was more valuable than stone)
So , one tree yields about 100/5 =20 rollers .
A pyramid of 2.5 million blocks like Gizeh , built over 20 years would require 2.5x12/20 = 1.5 million trees .
Without reuse , that is 75 000 trees per year , or about 10 fleets like Snefru’s per year .
But wood is very tough , durable material and should easily last 10 reuses .
So one fleet a year should have been sufficient .

4. Some consequences :
4.1 The Pharaohs had a vital interest in Libanon (where the cedars grow) . This shaped their foreign policy towards the Middle East .
See the Bible .
4.2 The roller logs retired from use became a vital part of the Egyptian economy . Agricultural implements and transport especially , since Egypt had no suitable wood of it’s own . Egyptians would probably have starved if the timber supply dried up , as they could not get the harvest to the storage facilities (never mind the tax collector)
The wood all eventually ended up as charcoal for cooking fuel . Hence very little archaeological remains .
It is ironic that one of the major reasons for building the pyramids is to have a large , steady supply of quality wood .

4.3 A similar argument can be made for Cusco . The largest hardwood forests are in the Amazon basin , and requires large resources to transport .
4.4 Religious connotations of the timber trade .
The major myth of the ancient Egyptians was the Osiris-Seth conflict , with the goddess Isis mixing in .
“Secretly Seth obtained the exact measurements of the body of Osiris, and caused beautiful chest to be made that would fit only him. It was fashioned of the rarest and most costly woods: cedar brought from Lebanon, and ebony from Punt at the south end of the Red Sea for no wood grows in Egypt except the soft and useless palm.
Then Seth gave a great feast in honour of Osiris; but the other guests were the two-and-seventy conspirators. It was the greatest feast that had yet been seen in Egypt, and the foods were choicer, the wines stronger and the dancing girls more beautiful than ever before. When the heart of Osiris had been made glad with feasting and song the chest was brought in, and all were amazed at its beauty.
Osiris marveled at the rare cedar inlaid with ebony and ivory, with less rare gold and silver, and painted inside with figures of gods and birds and animals, and he desired it greatly.
"I will give this chest to whosoever fits it most exactly!" cried Seth. And at once the conspirators began in turn to see if they could win it. But one was too tall and another too short; one was too fat and another too thin - and all tried in vain.
"Let me see if I will fit into this marvelous piece of work," said Osiris, and he laid himself down in the chest while all gathered round breathlessly.
"I fit exactly, and the chest is mine!" cried Osiris.
"And the chest is mine!"
"It is yours indeed, and shall be so forever!" hissed Seth as he banged down the lid. Then in desperate haste he and the conspirators nailed it shut and sealed every crack with molten lead, so that Osiris the man died in the chest and his spirit went west across the Nile into Duat the Place of Testing; but, beyond it to Amenti, where those live for ever who have lived well on earth and passed the judgments of Duat, he could not pass as yet”

Like all myths , it is about 1/3 truth and 2/3 myth and has to be translated .
Hint : Use one myth to decode another one . See

To appreciate history , you have to think outside the box .
Ask Osiris .

One of the ancient Egyptian technologies :
“Moving large stones .
This problem has been solved by the Egyptian Department of Antiquities during their excavations of the workers’ quarters near the Pyramids . They found toy quarter-circles in childrens’ graves . They were mimicking in play what their parents did .

Strap four wooden quarter-circles to square and you have a circle . The stone blocks were not dragged , they were rolled . (This has been done in actual reconstruction with pyramid blocks) . Really large blocks (thousands of tonnes) can be moved by this method . The only limitation is the strength of wood and the strength of the surface over which it must roll . It can easily be calculated , but even cursory examination shows that it must be very large (cf mass capacity of wooden , wheeled cart)

Appendix B
Did physicists just solve the construction mystery of the Great Pyramid?
SCIENCEALERT STAFF    28 AUG 2014

Exactly how the colossal Great Pyramid of Giza was built has been debated furiously for centuries. While Egyptologists generally agree that the 146.5-metre-high structure was built over a period of 10 to 20 years, no one has been able to prove how 2.4 million enormous limestone blocks were transported from several nearby quarries and stacked so perfectly in a pyramid shape using nothing but whatever basic construction technologies were available at the time.
One popular theory is that the blocks were dragged across strips of sand that had been loosened with water to reduce friction. But this raises the question of how the workers would have transported all the water they needed to the location of the blocks, because just like limestone blocks, water is incredibly heavy too!
Perhaps, proposes a different theory, the workers attached quarter-circle wheels to the flat surfaces of the blocks, turning them into easy-rolling cylinder shapes. But the problem with this hypothesis is that it's not particularly practical when you consider it in relation to the roads these cylinders would need to roll along. The pressure exerted by the blocks on the roads as they were rolled towards the construction would have effortlessly torn them up, necessitating constant maintenance by the otherwise engaged workers. 
But a new study led by physicist Joseph West from Indiana State University in the US has offered up a pretty promising theory. The Physics arXiv Blog explains:
"Their approach considerably reduces the ground pressure but at the same time allows the blocks to be moved with significantly less effort than dragging. They have even tested the idea to measure the amount of force workers would have had to use to move the blocks. Their idea is remarkably simple. They strap wooden rods to a block, turning its profile from a square into a dodecagon, which can then be moved more easily by rolling."

Image: West, Gallagher and Waters
West and his colleagues tried their theory out on a scale model made from a concrete block weighing almost 30 kg. After they strapped the four sets of three wooden rods to each side of the block, they attached a rope to the top, which could be used to pull on the crude wheel-like structure and get it rolling. They measured how much force would be needed to set the stone rolling, and found that it was only around 0.15 times the entire weight of the stone, which is feasible, even for the largest stones used in the Great Pyramid.
"Of course, these researchers do not address the question of whether there is any evidence that the pyramids were constructed in this way, only that this would certainly seem a good option, not least because of the reduced wear and tear on the thoroughfares to and from the pyramid,” says the Physics arXiv Blog. "Indeed, they say the mechanism would work without a formal, engineered road.”
The team is in agreement with that assessment, concluding the study by asserting the need for further research into the theory: “It would seem that some variation of rolling the blocks should now be considered to be among the 'best' and most likely method used to move the stones for the great pyramids."

Appendix C
Nile Delta Artifacts & Construction Theory
Did the builders of the Great Pyramid construct the world's first railroad? After reading Dr. Parry's proposal that the ancient pyramid builders may have rolled the stone blocks (enclosed in wooden 1/4 circle "cradles") from the quarries along earthen ramps to the top of the pyramid, I hypothesized a bit further and came up with the following scenario, disposing with both the massive earthen ramps (though allowing for smaller rubble ramps at the base) and encircling spiral external masonry ramp, and replacing them with a ladder & drum system, where adjacent wooden ladder rails (from which the 1/4 circles were cut out) were interlinked. The pyramid builders were familiar with the potters wheel, the drum, the wheeled scaling ladder, (probably not the spoked chariot wheel), and were likely very resourceful with wood materials. Compare these ladders to the "rail.bmp" image further down.
Wheeled ladder at tomb of Kaemheset, 5th dynasty (note multiple reinforced parallel rails)













Per the images below, the ladder rail could interlink linearly or at an angle (1:4) to permit raising the stones (using peripheral pull with a simple wheel winch from above). This railroad could support the transport of heavy stone blocks over soft, wet and uneven ground (during the annual Nile flood, when farm workers left the sodden fields to work on the pyramid). The same setup could be converted to a raft, to transfer granite and limestone across the Nile and along canals to the Giza Harbor. Interestingly, Dr. Parry's book mentions the significance of the Scarab dung beetle, it's habit of rolling balls of dung, and how the Egyptians glorified this symbolically by having the mythical scarab Khepera, roll the sun across the sky. Possibly, a drawing of a scarab enclosed in a disk surrounded by a band represents a stone block encased in 4 quarter circle cradles banded together. Note figures 11, 17, 20 and 22 in David Talbotts paper at this link. 
http://www.bearfabrique.org/Catastrophism/Saturn/shipart.html

The "railroad" correlates well with the 1/4 circle cradles, however it would also make sledge transit more effective, somewhat like Nova's* depiction in the program "This Old Pyramid", and would work with pulling oxen (they had no yokes, they used rope around the throat of the ox, so I doubt they pulled stone up steep slopes), pulling teams of workmen, or more likely IMO, 1/4 cradle wheel winches pulling from above while on slopes, and pushing from behind while on level surface.
Note the photos of the transverse timber ties embedded into the ramp at this site:
http://www.catchpenny.org/howbuilt.html
Quite similar to railroad ties on an inclined slope. Note that "slipways" of the same style have been found in the bed of the Nile, used during low flow to move boats and freight across.

"This Old Pyramid":
*Narrarator: "(log) Rollers work good, but only on a smooth, hard surface. So, they're of no use on sandy site. At neighboring pyramid complexes, the remains of clay roadbeds have been found into which the ancient Egyptians imbedded wood, like railway ties. Perhaps a sled loaded with one of Roger's two-ton blocks will slide over this surface".
MARK LEHNER: We're going to try to...wet the ties and make it slippery, and see if it goes on the ties without a layer of slick clay. If just the ties, the wooden ties themselves - sleepers - will carry the sled.

Stone block drum rolling on Giza railramps, rolling on tracks & culverts over soft ground, rafting on reed rail-rafts.
Exterior stone blocks of the pyramids were carefully squared and carved to fit together, but interior blocks were much rougher, the rough cut odd shaped stones would have required wooden spacer shims to fit the cradles properly. Partly filled woven sand bags of palm or reed fibers, (commonly used in areas with flooding rivers such as the Nile), would allow even very rough blocks to fit snugly encased in the 1/4 circle cradle drums.

Hypothesized "Giza Rectilinear Railroad", by Dave "Diesel" Deden

·         An Egyptian obelisk was rolled to a British ship by encasing it in a cask-like container not dissimilar to this method, and then transited to London. Another was attempted, but the ship sank in the Mediterranean Sea.
·         King Herod's temple was built using stones which were rolled to the site. The huge base stones were cut into 200 ton cylinders and rolled to the specific spot, then chipped into rectangular blocks(1). Once the base outline of the temple was complete, only the temple priests were employed, following strict temple rules. The smaller wall stones were squared and finished at the quarries, then encased in wood drums and rolled to the temple to be assembled by the priest construction crew.
(1)   Per the film "In the time of Jesus" by Readers Digest.

Here's information on England's Stonehenge, a possible roof, and how the huge stones were moved, quite similar to Dick Parry's
idea of how the Giza Pyramid stone blocks were moved in 1/4 circle wood cradles.

Fast train to Longevity


Andre Willers
9 Jan 2015
Synopsis :
We use Ravioli to deliver H2S and adjuvants  indistinguishable from endogenous H2S . 3D Printers are advisable . Endurance athletes will benefit greatly .
 
Discussion :
1.See Slow Train to Longevity in Appendix AA or http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2014/12/slow-train-to-longevity.html
The longevity effect is because of the hibernation effect of H2S .
It slows down metabolisms of different systems like immune system , inflammation systems , sugar , etc at different rates .

2.Endogenous and exogenous H2S .
There seems to be little difference , except concentration and whether introduction is extra-cellular(exogenous) or intra-cellular (endogenous)
 
3.We want to introduce 80 ppm H2S from the outside that is indistinguishable from endogenous H2S .
We make Ravioli filled with 80 ppm H2S (dissolved) and formic acid .
Cook (boil) for about 5 minutes (not too long) .
Eat with any sauce , but hold the melatonin .

4.How  H2S works .
“Hydrogen sulfide under high pressure has recently been demonstrated to undergo superconducting transition at 190K, the highest temperature superconductor known to date. 
Only   -83 Celsius . Liquid nitrogen freezes at 63 K (−210 °C) .
The lowest natural temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K), which was at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica, on July 21, 1983. Thus , H2S can be superconductive (but at high pressure) on the Earth’s surface .
Wow ! That is weird for such a simple molecule . I have no idea whether it is relevant .

“Hydrogen sulfide is slightly soluble in water and acts as a weak acid, giving the hydrosulfide ion HS (pKa = 6.9 in 0.01-0.1 mol/litre solutions at 18 °C). A solution of hydrogen sulfide in water, known as sulfhydric acid or hydrosulfuric acid, is initially clear but over time turns cloudy. This is due to the slow reaction of hydrogen sulfide with the oxygen dissolved in water, yielding elemental sulfur, which precipitates out.”
It has limited shelf life .


5 How .Formic Acid works .
This is to penetrate the cell walls and make the H2S like endogenous H2S . The concentration will have to be determined , but about the same as a nettle .

6. Inflammation example
“Conclusions and implications:
Whereas exogenous H2S delivered to the knee joint can produce a significant anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effect, locally produced H2S exerts little immunomodulatory effect. These data further support the development and use of H2S donors as potential alternatives (or complementary therapies) to the available anti-inflammatory compounds used for treatment of joint inflammation or relief of its symptoms.”

2.Why endogenous H2S?
Safety switch . Organisms without it simply goes into hibernation at the first volcanic eruption , and gets eaten by those with the safety switch .

3. How it works .
 http://www.jneurosci.org/content/16/3/1066.short 
(1) an H2S-producing enzyme, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), is highly expressed in the hippocampus; (2) CBS inhibitors hydroxylamine and amino-oxyacetate suppress the production of brain H2S; and (3) a CBS activator, S-adenosyl-L-methionine, enhances H2S production, indicating that CBS contributes to the production of endogenous H2S. We also show that physiological concentrations of H2S selectively enhance NMDA receptor-mediated responses and facilitate the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation. These observations suggest that endogenous H2S functions as a neuromodulator in the brain.

4.Also the general metabolism .
Supplements
http://nccam.nih.gov/health/supplements/SAMe

This gives all the foods to avoid . 
CBS activator, S-adenosyl-L-methionine, enhances H2S production

Molecular mechanism behind health benefits of dietary restriction identified

Increasing endogenous hydrogen sulfide production during dietary restriction plays a major role in delivering the benefits of longevity and stress resistance.
Credit: Image courtesy of Harvard School of Public Health
A new study led by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers identifies a key molecular mechanism behind the health benefits of dietary restriction, or reduced food intake without malnutrition. Also known as calorie restriction, dietary restriction is best known for its ability to slow aging in laboratory animals. The findings here show that restricting two amino acids, methionine and cysteine, results in increased hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production and protection against ischemia reperfusion injury, damage to tissue that occurs following the interruption of blood flow as during organ transplantation and stroke. Increased H2S production upon dietary restriction was also associated with lifespan extension in worms, flies, and yeast.
Although H2S gas is extremely toxic in high amounts, low levels present in naturally occurring sulfur springs have long been associated with health benefits. Mammalian cells also produce low levels of H2S, but this is the first time that this molecule has been linked directly to the health benefits of dietary restriction.
"This finding suggests that H2S is one of the key molecules responsible for the benefits of dietary restriction in mammals and lower organisms as well," said senior author James Mitchell, associate professor of genetics and complex diseases. "While more experiments are required to understand how H2S exerts its beneficial effects, it does give us a new perspective on which molecular players to target therapeutically in our efforts to combat human disease and aging."
The study appears online December 23, 2014 in Cell.
Dietary restriction is a type of intervention that can include reduced overall food intake, decreased consumption of particular macronutrients such as protein, or intermittent bouts of fasting. It is known to have beneficial health effects, including protection from tissue injury and improved metabolism. It has also been shown to extend the lifespan of multiple model organisms, ranging from yeast to primates. The molecular explanations for these effects are not completely understood, but were thought to require protective antioxidant responses activated by the mild oxidative stress caused by dietary restriction itself.
First author Christopher Hine, research fellow in the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases, and colleagues demonstrated that one week of dietary restriction increased antioxidant responses and protected mice from liver ischemia reperfusion injury, but surprisingly, this protective effect was intact even in animals that could not mount such an antioxidant response. Instead, the researchers found that the protection required increased production of H2S, which occurred upon reduction of dietary intake of the two sulfur-containing amino acids, methionine and cysteine. When the diet was supplemented with these two amino acids, increased H2S production and dietary restriction benefits were both lost.
The investigators also found that genes involved in H2S production were also required for longevity benefits of dietary restriction in other organisms, including yeast, worms, and flies.
"These findings give us a better understanding of how dietary interventions extend lifespan and protect against injury. More immediately, they could have important implications for what to eat and not to eat before a planned acute stress like surgery, when the risk of ischemic injury can be relatively high," said Hine.

Appendix A
Rabies[edit]
During lethal rabies infection of mice, the blood–brain barrier (BBB) does not allow anti-viral immune cells to enter the brain, the primary site of rabies virus replication. This aspect contributes to the pathogenicity of the virus and artificially increasing BBB permeability promotes viral clearance. Opening the BBB during rabies infection has been suggested as a possible novel approach to treating the disease, even though no attempts have yet been made to determine whether or not this treatment could be successful.[original r

Appendix B
Training the Immune System
Andre Willers
12 Jan 2012
Synopsis:
Commercially available desensitization technologies are now available for Milk , Peanut and DustMite allergies .

Discussion :
1.This involves skin-patches  , exposing the organism to prolonged exposure to the allergy-producing chemicals , but at such low levels that anaphylactic shock is not induced .
2.But , the learning systems of the Immune system are engaged (Dentritic cells)
See Appendix I
3.At least , some clinical testing of the three products available (milk , peanuts , dustmite asthma) is being done .
See http://www.dbv-technologies.com/en/ .
4.This is but a high-tech approach to the old-age approach to test for poisons . Put a sample of the material to be tested on the skin . Watch what happens .
 Used from Neolithic times . And present day doctors for allergies .
5.The Trick :
The skin usually prevents deleterious amounts of the allergy –producing chemical from passing through .
6.Plant-Herbivore Wars :
Some plants have developed ways of bypassing this barrier . Contact poisons . Like itching thistles , stinging nettles , etc.
Do not use the patches if you might be exposed to stinging nettles or their ilk .
7.Opportunity : Instant safe reprogramming .
These poisons can be used to deliver nano-levels of active allergens directly to the dendritic cells . Shortening the training period to fractions of a second .
8.This opens a whole new can of worms .
Near-instantaneous reprogramming of the immune system will have obvious shock effects . But this can be quite useful in things like melanoma’s .
See Appendix II .
Since only nanograms of the allergen is required , addition of the nettle-bypass chemicals will flood the dentritic cells with maybe too much information . (It is not a smart system).
But in the case of overproduction of particular allergens , these will train the immune system . Like cancers .
Note that the gut-system is but internal skin .
9.The buccal interface :
This will take place mostly in the mouth .
Very little survives the stomach acid-bath .
So swirl the nettle-soup in the mouth .
See Appendix III A
Your mother was right . Don’t gulp it down .

10 . Nettle-active capsules
Nettle-active Capsules that only dissolve past the stomach will need some thorough testing .
Buccal systems have some strong safeguards (they handle garlic  (Allicin) , after all . One of the most proficient cell-killers) 
But something like this would of great use in Crohn’s Disease and other intestinal auto-immune diseases .
For the active chemicals , see Appendix V A


11.Auto-immune Diseases :
These are obvious candidates . Especially that nasty Arthritis . A nettle-system patch combined with an alternate target like dust-mites (available) can make short work of arthritis .

12.Diabetes II
See Appendix III for a cure
You will also need Phene Systems : see Appendix IV
The exact molecular mechanism of Insulin docking to the Cell-wall has recently been worked out . It is an active system .
Portions of the Insulin molecule folds out to match portions of the cell-wall that also outfolds to latch together .
Which is why you need phene-systems .
The trigger seems to be formic acid .
See Appendix V A .
Formic acid is used extensively by insects and plants to bypass phene barriers . A simple molecule (as expected . It is very old-about 3 billion years)
It is an azeotrope (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope
Azeotrope
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Vapor-liquid equilibrium of 2-propanol/water showing azeotropic behavior
An azeotrope (pron.: /əˈziːətroʊp/ ə-zee-ə-trohp or pron.: /ˈeɪziətroʊp/ ay-zee-ə-trohp) is a mixture of two or more liquids in such a way that its components cannot be altered by simple distillation.[1] This happens because, when an azeotrope is boiled, the vapor it produces has proportionate constituents as the original mixture.
These chemicals are favoured by evolution because they are invariant to phase change . They keep on working at any state.
Used extensively in hibernation systems to bypass cellular barriers . See Appendix VI A .

The molecule seems to have only five nexi , yet it seems able to collapse quantum – wavefronts ( see http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=50 )
Can it be simpler ? I don’t know . Four nexi will have to be designed , but I might be wrong .

Formic acid seems to be a sine-qua-non for multicellular organisms .
Quite surprising .

13, To get back to Diabetes II
We use the Buccal Transform :
Make a solution of Formic Acid < 2% , with a dash of serotonin and histamine . Add the active thingie you want the immune system to learn about .
13.1 Diabetes II
Add about 1 teaspoon of sugar/20 ml of lukewarm water . Stir and rinse the mouth extensively . See Appendix II A .Spit it out .
The spitting out is vital . The pulse of sugars must not reach the descending duodenal .
What is happening ?
The preparation system is notifying the descending duodenal system (see Appendix III A ) . A lot of sugar is coming . Then it does not arrive .
This is a pretty stupid system . After 3+1 iterations it stops believing the incoming signals and stands down .
Ordinary phene systems apply . A quick cure .
13.2 Other intestinal problems can be handled in an analogous fashion .

14.Outer-Skin problems .
Use Formic acid , serotonin and histamine patches(in correct proportion) plus target chemical .
Simple . Quick , too , with the Formic Acid .

14. Who would have thought ?
Ants are caught in a terrible cellular trap . They are forced into a communal mind by formic acid .

An interesting aside :
Bioengineering ants not to excrete formic will have interesting results . I would recommend Biolevel 5 Controls

15. Oxytocin and Formic Acid
Oxytocin is an expanded version of formic acid . Compare the molecular structures
See  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid
Oxytocin has only one ring , so is topologically equivalent to dopamine .

16 .Does any molecule not collapse quantum-wavefronts ? It only seems like it . We are looking at a very specific sub-group .

Who would have thought that eating ants kick-started human evolution ?

About VIASKIN® Technology 

When the VIASKIN® patch containing a specific allergen is applied to the skin of a patient with an IgE-mediated allergy - such as peanuts or milk - the allergens are deposited locally on the skin and are captured specifically by the skin's immuno-competent cells. This triggers the modulations of the immune responses. The epicutaneous exposure is non-invasive: the skin naturally prevents the allergen from entering the bloodstream and thereby dramatically reduces the risk of inducing anaphylaxis. The VIASKIN® patch is designed to be easily and painlessly applied by healthcare professionals and also by the patient or his/her parents at home, which facilitates compliance with the treatment.

Nettle soup
Nettle soup is a traditional soup prepared from stinging nettles. Nettle soup is eaten mainly during spring and early summer, when young nettle buds are collected. Today, nettle soup is mostly eaten in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, but historically consumption of nettles was more widespread. Nettle stew was eaten by inhabitants of Britain in the bronze age, 3000 years ago.[1]

Hi,
War seems more and more likely . A replay of 1914 
See
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2014/05/belarus-and-european-instability.html

Nato troops and heavy armament (nuke level) are pouring into Baltics .
Poor Belarus is smack in the middle .




WW 2.75 
Good tank country. No mor e fooling around with asymmetric warfare .
The threat is a pincer to St Petersburg  (a-la-Crimean War) the Oblique Offensive .

Russia is of course strengthening Belarus , and weakening EU logistics by cutting of the gas .
This advantage will disappear by summer , so expect a pre-emptive  attack on Poland to pressurise Germany.

When? Expect a decapitation strike at Davos . Now,actually . Probably false flagged as ISIS.
Then good old fashioned Blitzkrieg in Europe.

And if you don't toe the line , you freeze .
The Gas Empire as a variant of Water Empires .

The good Swiss got wind of this , and good global citizens that they are , immediately cut their losses (about $60bn) and decoupled from the Euro (soon to be defunct)

Breaking news: Russia will completely stop the delivery of gaz through the Ukraine


First, I was a little skeptical. Then more and more sources confirmed what seems to be a fact: Russia will completely stop the delivery of gaz through the Ukraine and all Russian gaz will now flow through Turkey (see Bloomberg and LifeNews). Not only that, but the Russians have told the Europeans that if they want Russian gaz, they will have to build their own pipeline to Turkey at pay for it all.



The Europeans appear to be shell-shocked. Maros Sefcovic, the European Commission’s vice president for energy union, declared that this decision made "no economic sense".  As if the nonstop economic and political warfare waged by the EU against Russia did make any sense!

I can image the faces of the Eurobureaucrats when Alexei Miller, the head of Gazprom, told them that "now it is up to them to put in place the necessary infrastructure starting from the Turkish-Greek border” while the Russian Energy Minister Novak added that "the decision has been made, we are diversifying and eliminating the risks of unreliable countries that caused problems in past years, including for European consumers.” 

In other words, the EU just lost it all and so did the Ukraine.  Keep in mind that the EU has no other options then to purchase the Russian gas from Turkey while Russia can simply do without gaz exports to Europe because China has already signed a contract covering the exact same amount of gaz and possibly much more. 

Let's see now how the infinitely corrupt, arrogant, criminally irresponsible European elites will cope with an agriculture choking in useless surplus stocks, a society waging ideological war on 1.6 billion Muslims, and now with no energy.

The always irreplaceable Poles have come up with a brilliant strategy it appears: they will "not really" invite Putin to the commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz even though Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet military.  I am sure that Putin will be both impressed and heartbroken.

Nowadays every time I hear any news out of Europe, I always think that Victoria Nuland's famous "f**k the EU" and how Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, called his colleagues the "great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies". I share exactly the same sentiments: let them "Charlies" now freeze in their own pathetic mediocrity.

Lightspeed and AntiGravity .


Andre Willers
18 Jan 2015
In honour of James Blish .
Synopsis :
We derive the General AntiGravity equations and indicate some applications .
Discussion :

1.Spindizzy :
Big G http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant  can be manipulated , and has a singularity .

The relevant equation is the Locke derivation of the Dirac-Brackett equation :
G = (2*c/b) ^2 * (L/s)^2
Where
G=Gravitational Interaction between particles
c is lightspeed , b~0.25 , s is magnetic moment , L is Angular Momentum .

See Appendices below especially Appendix F .
S can be written as a function of L
Therefore , if the above Dirac-Brackett equation holds , the Big G can be manipulated by spinning the electron .Which we can do at will using laser tweezers or RF .

The Solution (from Wolfram)
S= -1/3(L-1) +- 3(2)^0.5 (  (L-2) +3(3L-2)/(2L^2+3L+1)  ) ^0.5   *(KK/n^3) , where kk is a constant and n is primary quantum number .

Plugging it into G above :
G= (2c/b )^2   *   L^2/= (-1/3(L-1) +- 3(2)^0.5 (  (L-2) +3(3L-2)/(2L^2+3L+1)  ) ^0.5   *(KK/n^3))^2 , where kk is a constant and n is primary quantum number .
G then looks like the picture below this before deviding by a constant (n^6/kk^2)
Where kk=1/2*Z^4*u(0)   /   (4pi)*g(s)*u(B)*a(0)^3)

  U(0) is vacuum permeability =µ0 = 4π×10−7 V·s/(A·m) ≈ 1.2566370614...×10−6 Hm1 or N·A2 or T·m/A or Wb/(A·m)

  g(s) is quantum correction constant = 2.002319304… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyromagnetic_ratio
  u(B) is Bohr magneton 9.740 x 10^-24 J T^-1  (joules per tesla)
 Z =nuclear charge .
a(0) is Bohr radius = 5.2917721092(17)×10−11 m
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2.How G changes with Spin .
This is generally applicable . Just multiply with the applicable constant .
This goes a long way to explain Big Bang inflation , as well as later perceived acceleration of expansion .





There exists a spin for any material that leads to a singularity in Gravitational force .
Tractor and Repulsors can be made .
Metamaterial with the exactly right spin will be like Cavorite : an anti-gravity material , what today is called the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_universe
Notice that G is negative in the above graph for small positive spins .
The singularity on the y axis is better known as charge .
A monopole is then possible (spin increasing to asymptotic axis or decreasing to asymptotic axis) .
Should be easy to make . A chirp RF generator should do the trick .
I would expect anomalies to occur near big phase radar arrays .
And so they do .
ABSTRACT The propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in an AlGaAs waveguide array is studied using frequency-resolved
optical gating measurements. In the nonlinear regime, the measurements show that the pulses at the output of the array evolve toward a set chirp value that is independent of the input chirp. Simulations reproduce theexperimental results. The observations can be described as a fixed-point attractor on a chirp-intensity map.
Yeah , right .
This means that any chirp system tends to a behaviour independent of input . So much for Free Will .
The Universe is full of different frequencies . We can order them in chirp fashion by fiat . But still not get what we want .
In any case  , to find cavorite use Google Earth magnetic  and look for the signature as in Appendix F images .
If you are lucky , you might even snag a monopole . In which case you can name your price . The first one ,in any case .
After that , they will find them in steadily increasing frequency .
If you don’t believe me , check the history of exoplanets .

Example :
KK(1) for one charge  = 6.9252 x 10^46

A quantum condensate made up of n molecules orbiting in a closed circuit (ie a virtual central charge of n at the center due to constraint of material .)
Every particle in the ring is in faster than light contact with every other one because a quantum condensate is entangled .
See Appendix C .
The feedback effects in highly connected networks follow power laws of the form y=ax^p
We need only consider p=mMoles/AvogradoNumber .
To put it another way , you need about (6.952*10^46)^(1/(6.022*10^23)) ~ 1.962 moles of material to show an effect .

The highest temperature superconductor we know about is H2S  at 190 K under pressure .http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.0460
That is 34.08088* 1.962 = 66.8 gm of H2S under pressure at 190 K .
 The predicted metallization pressure is 111 GPa, http://www.nature.com/srep/2014/141110/srep06968/full/srep06968.html
This is high . But there are ways around it . Mainly pulse . Explosive pulses at below 190 K can form shaped circular currents that lock in superconducting H2S .
This is not even difficult or expensive .

Ley lines .
More interesting , enstatite in its perovskite-structured polymorph , suitably doped with H2S , can form superconducting channels .
Pressure plus volcanic H2S .
Shades of Ley-lines !
I did not expect this .

Carbon Nanotubes and graphene :
Both can handle 111 GigaPascal pressures .

The poor man’s superconductor :
Carbon nanotubes and irregular graphenes .
Just look around volcanoes .

Prediction of room temperature superconducting material from the earth :
Look around explosive volcanos that are diamond bearing .

In other words , carbon , H2S ,high pressure in the 111 GPa range.
They should be fairly commonplace . A few hours at a place like Cullinan should yield a few grams of room-temperature superconductor .

Why hasn’t it been found before ?
Nobody looked .
Remember buckyballs ? Nobody looked either, If they did , buckyballs and the rest could have been discovered at least 300 years before .

You now should be able to build your own antigravity machine .
But it will be cheaper and easier to go and dig up some pockets of cavorite .
Or make your own , using dug-up cavorite as seeds .
This is possible because of the chirp-chaos attractor as mentioned above .

Ho-Ho-Ho !
Cavorite can breed more cavorite . All you need is the seed .
Happy hunting !

Abstract: Space momentum entangled photon pairs are generated from type II parametric
down conversion in a beta barium borate crystal. The correlations in the positions of
photons in the near field and far field planes with regard to the generating crystal are
observed in both transverse dimensions using scanning fiber probes. The space-momentum
correlation is characterized using a covariance description for a bivariate normal
distribution and tested for non-separability with Mancini’s criterion. The role of higher
order spatial modes to observe spatial entanglement between the two photons is discussed.

Photons that travel in free space slower than the speed of light
(Submitted on 14 Nov 2014)
That the speed of light in free space is constant is a cornerstone of modern physics. However, light beams have finite transverse size, which leads to a modification of their wavevectors resulting in a change to their phase and group velocities. We study the group velocity of single photons by measuring a change in their arrival time that results from changing the beam's transverse spatial structure. Using time-correlated photon pairs we show a reduction of the group velocity of photons in both a Bessel beam and photons in a focused Gaussian beam. In both cases, the delay is several microns over a propagation distance of the order of 1 m. Our work highlights that, even in free space, the invariance of the speed of light only applies to plane waves. Introducing spatial structure to an optical beam, even for a single photon, reduces the group velocity of the light by a readily measurable amount.

Abstract
In the well-known EPR paper, Einstein et al. called the nonlocal correlation in quantum entanglement
as ‘spooky action at a distance’. If the spooky action does exist, what is its speed?
All previous experiments along this direction have locality loopholes and thus can be explained
without having to invoke any ‘spooky action’ at all. Here, we strictly closed the locality loopholes
by observing a 12-hour continuous violation of Bell inequality and concluded that the lower bound
speed of ‘spooky action’ was four orders of magnitude of the speed of light if the Earth’s speed in
any inertial reference frame was less than 10−3
times of the speed of light.
Vsa  bigger than or equal 13800 *c
Where Vsa is speed of Spooky Action
And c is classical plane speed of light in vacuo .

Appendix D
Newton’s Laws
First law:
When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.[2][3]
Second law:
The vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration vector a of the object: F = ma.
Third law:
When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

Appendix E
Viewing a magnetic dipole as a rotating charged particle brings out the close connection between magnetic moment and angular momentum. Both the magnetic moment and the angular momentum increase with the rate of rotation. The ratio of the two is called the gyromagnetic ratio and is simply the half of the charge-to-mass ratio.[4] [5]
For a spinning charged solid with a uniform charge density to mass density ratio, the gyromagnetic ratio is equal to half the charge-to-mass ratio. This implies that a more massive assembly of charges spinning with the same angular momentum will have a proportionately weaker magnetic moment, compared to its lighter counterpart. Even though atomic particles cannot be accurately described as spinning charge distributions of uniform charge-to-mass ratio, this general trend can be observed in the atomic world, where the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of each type of particle is a constant: a small half-integer times the reduced Planck constant ħ. This is the basis for defining the magnetic moment units of Bohr magneton (assuming charge-to-mass ratio of the electron) and nuclear magneton (assuming charge-to-mass ratio of the proton).

Mass-to-charge ratio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from Charge-to-mass ratio)

Beam of electrons moving in a circle in a Teltron tube, due to the presence of a magnetic field. Purple light is emitted along the electron path, due to the electrons colliding with gas molecules in the bulb. The mass-to-charge ratio of the electron can be measured in this apparatus by comparing the radius of the purple circle, the strength of the magnetic field, and the voltage on the electron gun. The mass and chargecannot be separately measured this way—only their ratio.
The mass-to-charge ratio (m/Q) is a physical quantity that is most widely used in the electrodynamics of charged particles, e.g. in electron optics and ion optics. It appears in the scientific fields of electron microscopycathode ray tubesaccelerator physicsnuclear physicsAuger spectroscopycosmology and mass spectrometry.[1] The importance of the mass-to-charge ratio, according to classical electrodynamics, is that two particles with the same mass-to-charge ratio move in the same path in a vacuum when subjected to the same electric and magnetic fields. Its SI units are kg/C.
Some fields use the charge-to-mass ratio (Q/m) instead, which is the multiplicative inverse of the mass-to-charge ratio. The 2010 CODATA recommended value for an electron is eme = (1.758820088±39)×1011 C/kg.[2]

Appendix F
Really interesting .
Spin–orbit interaction
In quantum physics, the spin–orbit interaction (also called spin–orbit effect or spin–orbit coupling) is an interaction of a particle's spin with its motion. The first and best known example of this is that spin–orbit interaction causes shifts in an electron's atomic energy levels due to electromagnetic interaction between the electron's spin and the magnetic field generated by the electron's orbit around the nucleus. This is detectable as a splitting of spectral lines. A similar effect, due to the relationship between angular momentum and thestrong nuclear force, occurs for protons and neutrons moving inside the nucleus, leading to a shift in their energy levels in the nucleusshell model. In the field of spintronics, spin–orbit effects for electrons in semiconductors and other materials are explored for technological applications. The spin–orbit interaction is one cause of magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
Total interaction energy[edit]
The total spin–orbit potential in an external electrostatic potential takes the form
The net effect of Thomas precession is the reduction of the Larmor interaction energy by factor 1/2 which came to be known as the Thomas half.
This leads to
Final energy shift[edit]
We can now say
\Delta E = {\beta\over 2}(j(j+1) - l(l+1) -s(s+1))
where
\beta = \beta (n,l) = Z^4{\mu_0\over 4{\pi}}g_\text{s}\mu_\text{B}^2{1\over n^3a_0^3l(l+1/2)(l+1)}


Where n (the "principal quantum number") j (the "total angular momentum quantum number"), L (the "orbital angular momentum quantum number"), s (the "spin quantum number"),

As a wild approximation (since I have no reputation)
Set j = (L+s)/2 . Reminiscent of Heron’s area of the triangle .
We are essentially determining the “height” into an unknown dimension using Heron’s formula . See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron%27s_formula

This gives an extraordinary result .
A mathematical island . The equivalent of a particle
FunctionW  = ((L+s)/2((L+s)/2+1) – L(L+1) – s(s+1))  / (L(L+1/2)(L+1))
Using Wolfram , this functionW looks like this :














Notice the island formed by L the mass spin and s the charge/magnetic effects of spin .
See below for the contour plot . Notice the asymmetry .
So much for String Theory .
This Universe is inherently asymmetrical . Built in at the pi level .
There is charge and energy level separation at every scale .

EURO QE by KISS


Andre Willers
22 Jan 2015
Synopsis:
Dismantling of the Euro to more manageable chunks (UK–Euro model). QE will have negligible economic effect on the EU .
Russia or Turkey will pick up the pieces that break off due to mismanagement .

Discussion :
1.We look at the Euro as an asset backed formal currency , see the effect of QE .
Then we look at the Real Economy , and see the effects there .
Then a quick peek at the future.

KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid .

2.Euro’s as money
31.439 Trillion euros .

3.Debt/GDP
About 90.9 % in 2014
Debt is then 0.909x 31.439= 28.578 Trillion

4.QE
60 Billion Euros per month . An additional 0.72 Trillion euros per annum.
The annual rate of new debt creation = 0.72/28.578 = 0.02519  (~2.5%)

5.This is used to buy bonds , but the QE is not derived from savings , but is fiat money.
This should then be properly classified as a dilution of the currency , not an asset .
Also better known as inflation .
It is no accident that this new debt creation rate of 2.5% is close to the desired inflation rate of 2% .

The idea is to stimulate demand with new loans , that will eventually lead to a mild inflation .

Unfortunately the bank executives can make more money by inflating asset bubbles using the fiat money
than lending to the business enterprises .
The surprising other reason is lack of demand for new capital . See the Economics of Disrespect below for why.

6.Double Whammy :
Owners of shares get richer (income inequality increases) and economic activity slows because of capital starvation , as non-QE money chases the bubbles as well (in the formal sector)

7.Saved by the Economics of Disrespect .
The real economy is about thrice the size of the reported one .
See

8.Real Euro figures:
Euro’s = 31.439 x 3 = 94.317 Tr   (the hidden wealth is in the form of promissory notes and understandings –equivalent to bonds)
Debt remains as 28.578 Tr  (this gives a real debt/GDP ratio of 30%)
The cost of capital is negative , as lots of “illegal” money look for productive homes .
So a bank would find it hard to lend money to a SMME , even if it wanted to.
To make a dent , the QE would have to been at least three times larger .
As it is , the QE will make a few oligarchs a little bit richer , and destroy the Central Banks .

9.Armageddon ?
Only for the house of cards in Brussels.
Without interference, it is doubtful whether the EU will disintegrate .
Unfortunately , they made an enemy of Russia . And Russia is now actively interfering .
Upping the stakes.

It boils down to an old problem : Russia or Turkey .
Russia has been an ally to the West in three major , to-the-hilt-wars (Napoleonic , WW I , WW II))
Turkey (Ottoman Empire) : has never been an ally . Always enemy or neutral .

Expect interference from Turkey
(who is still being blocked from joining the EU . Old memories do not die in that part of the world .)

10.An interesting aside:
All this sequestering of QE money in the Bank-CentralBank loop is an ideal opportunity for currency reform .
Lop off some zeroes without disturbing the real economy .
Like they did with French Francs , Marks , Rubles , etc .
See the psychological effect.
New ruble (1 January 1998-present)[edit]
The ruble was redenominated on 1 January 1998, with one new ruble equaling 1,000 old rubles. The redenomination was a purely psychological step that did not solve the fundamental economic problems faced by the Russian economy at the time, and the currency was devalued in August 1998 following the 1998 Russian financial crisis. The ruble lost 70% of its value against the U.S. dollar in the six months following this financial crisis.
In November 2004, the authorities of Dimitrovgrad (Ulyanovsk Oblast) erected a five-meter monument to the ruble.
On 23 November 2010, at a meeting of the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, it was announced that Russia and China have decided to use their own national currencies forbilateral trade, instead of the U.S. dollar. 

The USD can do with a facelift . It is kinda sagging around the jowls . The Ruble looked much better after its reduction .
Psychology and expectation is everything .

11.An even more interesting aside :
Instead of lopping off zeroes , add some zeroes . Eg . a $100 for $1 .
Technically it is just re-labelling , but psychologically ?
It should cure deflation .
But I cannot find an example of where currency was revalued upward : the actual printed money .
(The British pound circa 1840-1860 could have done with a upward revaluation , but it was pegged to gold .)
They usually float it , or hope it goes away by spending more frivolously .

11.1 The Singularity :
As wealth creation grows faster than monetary creation , (as is now) , deflation occurs .
This does not suit vested interests with large commitments in obsolete industries .
Hence the present fancy footwork in the financial community .
But all they do is train everybody to lie . Everybody .
Humans are a lying species , but they have excelled themselves .
See

The wealth creation goes on inexorably .

11.2 Swop old currency for new .
Instead of QE printing , simply swap an old Euro(1) for a new Euro(2) . Then repeat annually or more frequently as things change more rapidly .

Grexit


Andre Willers
25 Jan 2015
1653 GMT
Synopsis:
Greece Exit from the Euro will be a messy affair . Greece will probably enter Russia’s sphere of influence . Turkey will become aggressive .

Discussion :
1.Read a really excellent analysis of how to exit the Eurozone (It won the Wolfson prize , and will form the basis for any state wanting to exit the euro . The full text can be found at the following link :

2.A brief summation :
“The winning proposal argued that a member wishing to exit should introduce a new currency and default on a large part of its debts. The net effect, the proposal claimed, would be positive for growth and prosperity. It also called for keeping the euro for small transactions and for a short period of time after the exit from the Eurozone, along with a strict regime of inflation-targeting and tough fiscal rules monitored by "independent experts." 
3. See Appendix A for ideal Timetable .
Unfortunately , everybody knows about it , so it has to be accelerated .
Else there are going to be massive bank-runs and Euro instability .
D-Day might be as early as tomorrow , Monday 26 Jan 2015  if Syriza is on the ball .
Especially if they take up the Russian offer .

4.The Russian offer :
“on Jan. 16 the Eurasian power offered the beleaguered nation of Greece a way out of their own financial straits if they voluntarily leave the EU and sign on with the new Eurasian Economic Union.
Greece, along with several other European countries known in the financial world as the PIIGS (Portugal, Iceland, Ireland, Greece, and Spain), have been at the heart of the financial problems that have plagued the European Union since the credit crisis of 2008. “
5.Contagion :
If this exit goes reasonably well (with Russian and Chinese help) , then the other PIIGS will be sorely tempted to join in .

6. This will make WW 2.75 much more probable .

7. Extreme speed of events to be expected .
The faster , the less mess .
Hopefully , Syriza have their plans ready . They had long enough warning and a blueprint .
 
8. Some effects in Greece:
8.1 Banks closed
8.2 Credit cards and ATM’s inoperative .
8.3 Euro’s not acceptable as cash .
Hyper-Gresham’s Law : Everybody will want to spend Euro’s as quick as possible , because it might be replaced or rendered valueless by fiat (the problem with fiat currencies is that the same fiat that made them , can unfiat them) . Or worse , the contagion effect might collapse the whole Euro , a scenario not as farfetched as it may seem
(France or Germany might defect from the Euro . See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2014/05/belarus-and-european-instability.html  )
 
8.4 If the Drachma is not declared , Greece will then default to USD or (Ruble , Yuan) .
Like Zimbabwe , whose legal currencies are USD , Yuan , ZAR .
8.5 Greece will tend to the Russian sphere . They nearly voted the Communists into power after WW II (and would have , if not for CIA intervention ) . There is a massive sense of betrayal by the West .
There will be some very unhappy people about this :
8.5.1 NATO and the US
8.5.2 Turkey , who will feel hemmed in by enemies (Russia , Isis)
If Greece moves too slowly (which is likely with politicians) , one or both of these entities will mobilize against them .
There is a lot of ancient historical enmity between Turkey and Greece , while the US just likes to break things in a tantrum if it does get it’s way .

Expect escalation of the Civil War in Ukraine , rising tension in the Baltics and actual military adventurism by Turkey (especially in Cyprus)
 
9. A more graphic summation :
What the Greeks hoped for on joining the EU .


What they got was more like this :





10. “Magnificent in peril , undone by Victory”
About sums up Greek history for the last three millennia .

An interesting replay .
11. Got your refuge monastery picked out ?
“Athos the Mt.
 Too much St.”

double monastery (also double house) is a monastery combining a separate community of monks and one of nuns, joined in one institution.[a
Like co-ed schools . Humour in the term “lay brother” of such an institution shows low minds in need of spiritual guidance .
Mainly nuns , but …
Brigittine Monks
“The Brigittine Monks are located in Amity, Oregon, at the Monastery of Our Lady of Consolation. Founded on 16 March 1976, by Brother Benedict Kirby, O.Ss.S., it is the only Brigittine monastery of men in the world and the first since the nineteenth century when they were dispersed, largely due to the European wars. The monks here do not ordinarily receive Holy Orders, following the original pattern of monasticism. The monastery has the canonical status of a priory sui juris (one which is autonomous) and is supported mainly through sales of their chocolate fudges and truffles.[5]

 
Every oligarch should have one .

Appendix A
7.2 Indicative timetable
With D-Day defined as the day when the drachma formally replaces the euro as
the national currency of Greece, our indicative recommended timetable is:
D-Day minus no more than one month: Key officials plan the exit in secret.
Capital controls implemented immediately and plan accelerated if news leaks out.
D-Day minus three days (Friday): Notification of partners in the euro-zone and
other international monetary organisations. Followed shortly afterwards by public
announcement that the changeover to the new currency will take place on D-Day.
Closure of domestic banks and financial markets.
Over the weekend: Authorities announce new policy regime including inflation
targeting, tough fiscal rules and outlawing of wage indexation. Government
redenominates its debt and starts negotiations over the terms of this debt. Legal
issues clarified as far as possible, with plan announced for resolution of those
issues that remain. Commissioning of new notes and coins.

D-Day (Monday): At 00:01 hours, the drachma is introduced at parity with the
euro. All domestic wages, prices and other monetary values converted 1-for-1
from the euro to the drachma. Euro notes and coins remain in use for small
transactions.
D-Day or shortly afterwards: Domestic banks and financial markets reopened.
Any other capital controls lifted as soon as practicable. Negotiations concluded on
outstanding legal and other issues raised by redenomination.
Within 3 to 6 months: Sufficient notes and coins available in the new currency for
the euro to cease to be legal tender in the exiting country. Conversion completed.

Buccal Dopamine Programming.


Andre Willers
26 Jan 2015
Synopsis :
Promises outperform performance . This enables us to short circuit Restless Leg Syndrome(RLS) in an absurdly simple fashion .
Discussion :
1.RLS is a dopamine problem .
2.Buccal systems .
The critical observation (Appendix A)
“What was especially interesting was that rats got a dopamine high even if they didn't actually digest the sugar. One set of rats had drains placed in their stomachs that made all the fluid secrete out. Even in that group, the rats craved sugar." 
 
3.The Algorithm :
Put a lot of sugar in a little bit of water . Stir .
Rinse the mouth (the buccal bit)
Then spit it out . Under no circumstances swallow it .
Repeat about 5 times over a ten minute period .
This is to enable long-term potentiation of neurons .

3.1 Avoid MSG , salt , aspartame .
3.2 You can add caffeine and late nights .
 
4.What is happening ?
The buccal promise of sugar coming is sufficient to stimulate dopamine production .
But satisfying the promise shuts down the reward pathway . Less Dopamine leads to RLS.
A nice little trap .

5.Habituation :
I tried it and it worked . But not long enough to find habituation effects .

6. I’ll settle for what I can get .

Good luck .

Annexure A
Common foods that affect Dopamine.
alcohol 

"Two neurotransmitters, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and dopamine are responsible for the loss of impulse control in those who consume alcohol. Dopamine causes an excitatory response at dopamine receptors in the frontal lobes). Alcohol increases the amount of dopamine acting on receptors and enhances the normal feeling of pleasure associated with the dopamine system. Alcohol may function like cigarette smoke to inhibit the action of enzyme monoamine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down dopamine in the synaptic cleft. Since dopamine is not broken down as efficiently when ethanol is present, it can act on the post-synaptic neuron for a longer period of time. The feeling of pleasure will be increased and the individual will want to keep drinking to maintain the sensation. Individuals want to continue to experience the feelings caused by dopamine, so they continue to consume alcohol. The response of ordering another drink when one is already visibly intoxicated can be explained by the pleasurable effect that an increased alcohol concentration has on the brain." 

Elizabeth Powell, "Alcohol and Impulse Control." Serendip (April 14, 2004). serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro04/web2/epowell.html

"Alcohol may be particularly damaging to key components of the 'brain reward system.' Alcohol sensitizes dopamine and serotonin neurons to toxic excessive excitation or 'excitotoxicity.'"If dopamine and serotonin neurons are damaged," said Fulton T. Crews, Director of the Center for Alcohol Studies, University of North Carolina, "this would disrupt reward processes in ways that could contribute to addiction." 

Ivan Diamond and Harriet de Wit, "Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research." Research Society on Alcoholism (2011).

"Alcohol also helps to increase the release of dopamine, by a process that is still poorly understood but that appears to involve curtailing the activity of the enzyme that breaks dopamine down." 

"How Drugs Affect Neurotransmitters." Canadian Inst. of Health Research thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/i/i_03/i_03_m/i_03_m_par/i_03_m_par_alcool.html 

aspartame 

"These findings suggest that aspartame has a relatively potent effect of decreasing evoked extracellular dopamine levels when administered systemically under the conditions specified." 

BP Bergstrom, DR Cummings and TA Skaggs, "Aspartame decreases evoked extracellular dopamine levels in the rat brain: an in vivo voltammetry study." Neuropharmacology. 2007 Dec;53(8):967-74. Epub 2007 Sep 29. PMID: 17976663 

"If an aspartame-containing beverage is consumed along with, for example, a carbohydrate-rich, protein-poor dessert food, its effects on brain phenylalanine are doubled. This is because the insulin secretion elicited by the carbohydrate selectively lowers plasma levels of the branched-chain amino acids (by facilitating their uptake into skeletal muscle), without having much of an effect on plasma phenylalanine; this increases the effect of the aspartame on the plasma phenylalanine ratio. A similar doubling may occur if the eater happens to be one of the perhaps 10 million Americans who are, without knowing it, heterozygous for the phenylketonuria (PKU) gene. Once within brain, neurons producing certain neurotransmitters, such as dopaminergic nigrostriatal cells, the excess phenylalanine can inhibit enzymes (like tyrosine hydroxylase) needed to synthesize the neurotransmitters."

"Physiologically it is impossible that aspartame can aid in weight loss! The ingestion of aspartame creates increased levels of phenylalanine that suppress the formation of dopamine and seratonin. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps us to identify satiety, while seratonin reports carbohydrate metabolism. When seratonin levels are suppressed by excess phenylalanine these levels are incapable of normal increases that occur due to eating carbohydrates leaving you to crave more and more food! As well, methyl alcohol has also been long time recognized in medicine for its ability to block metabolism. In fact, according to Dr. H.J. Roberts, people getting off aspartame lose an average of 15 pounds. Plain and simple...neurotoxins act in the brain to stimulate appetite and you do not stand a fighting chance!"

caffeine

"Caffeine increases dopamine levels in your system, acting in a way similar to amphetamines, which can make you feel good after taking it, but after it wears off you can feel 'low'. It can also lead to a physical dependence because of dopamine manipulation." 

Elizabeth Scott, M.S. "Caffeine, Stress and Your Health: Is Caffeine Your Friend or Your Foe?" About.com Guide (Nov. 01, 2007) stress.about.com/od/stresshealth/a/caffeine.htm

"Using in vivo microdialysis in freely moving rats, we demonstrate that systemic administration of behaviorally relevant doses of caffeine can preferentially increase extracellular levels of dopamine and glutamate in the shell of the NAc. These effects could be reproduced by the administration of a selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist but not by a selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonist. This suggests that caffeine, because of its ability to block adenosine A1 receptors, shares neurochemical properties with other psychostimulants, which could contribute to the widespread consumption of caffeine-containing beverages." 

M. Solinas, S. Ferre, ZB You, M. Karcz-Kubicha, P. Popoli and SR Goldberg, "Caffeine induces dopamine and glutamate release in the shell of the nucleus accumbens." J Neurosci 2002 Aug 1;22(15):6321-4 

"As well as providing an immediate 'feel-good' sensation, caffeine encourages long-term addiction by depriving the consumer of a good night's sleep. Because adenosine reception is essential to deep sleep and it is blocked by caffeine, consumers wake up feeling irritable, and use caffeine to mentally 'awaken' themselves so that they can function 'properly' - as though they had had a good night's sleep. In this way, a positive feedback loop is created, and consumers cannot abstain from caffeine consumption without adverse effects."

gluten

"A significant increase in major serotonin and dopamine metabolite concentrations in the brain has been reported after one year on a gluten-free diet." 

C. Hallert and G. Sedvall, "Improvement in central monoamine metabolism in adult coeliac patient starting a gluten-free diet." Psychol Med. 1983 May;13(2):267-71. PMID: 6192458

"Gluten contains a neuropeptide which enhances dopamine activity." 

FJ Mycroft, ET Wei, JE Bernardin and DD Kasarda, "MIF-like sequences in milk and wheat proteins.." N Engl J Med. 1982 Sep 30;307(14):895. PMID: 6125889

"Since such manipulations of serotonin are difficult to regulate, and unlikely to have long-lasting effects (although some of the mystery of obesity may be revealed in this dynamic) a much more important dietary factor in depression may be the morphine-like substances which derive from the incomplete digests of proteins in cereal grains and dairy products. These were first reported by Christine Zioudrou et al. who dubbed such peptides "exorphins". Further elucidation of this issue has been provided through the extensive work of Fukudome and Yoshikawa, published over the last decade who have identified and characterized five distinct exorphins in the pepsin digests of gluten. Eight distinct exorphins have also been identified in the pepsin digests of milk. This work has given us a clearer sense of the morphine-like psychoactive nature of the peptides which result from the incomplete digests of these dietary proteins, as well as offering a possible explanation for some of the reported psychiatric reactions to these proteins including the sense of "brain fog" that often accompanies immune reactions to these foods."

insomnia

"One night without sleep increases the chemical dopamine in the brain, which may help explain how how the sleep-deprived stay alert, U.S. researchers said. Compared to when well-rested, participants when sleep deprived showed reduced binding of a radiolabeled compound that binds to dopamine receptors in certain parts of the brains. The researchers concluded that sleep deprivation increases dopamine - in the striatum part of the brain - involved in motivation and reward - and in the thalamus - involved in alertness. Following sleep deprivation, the rise in dopamine, the researchers say, may promote wakefulness to compensate for sleep loss." 

"Lack of sleep increases dopamine." United Press International (Aug. 22, 2011).

"First, the researchers treated the mice with a chemical that stops the production of dopamine entirely. In fairly short order, the mice had used up their initial supply of dopamine and were running on empty. The mice became rigid, immobile, and unable to sleep or dream, displaying symptoms similar to those experienced by patients with Parkinson's disease, the researchers said." 

"Dopamine Imbalances Cause Sleep Disorders In Animal Models Of Parkinson's Disease And Schizophrenia." Medical News Today (Oct 13, 2006). www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/53877.php

"Lack of sleep causes your body's dopamine levels to nose-dive. In an attempt to reproduce this hormone's feel-good effect, the neurons in your brain seek out a sugar fix. So you eat or drink or crave sex or nicotine - all dopamine releasers - and that helps satisfy your brain cells' craving for dopamine. But that fix lasts only so long, so you'll crave that sugary stuff again and again on the day after inadequate sleep. Too little sleep means your body also produces less rejuvenating human growth hormone (HGH), which likely affects your mood and energy level. So when you wake up each morning, all you want to do is go back to bed. And to top it all off, low levels of HGH also trigger sugar cravings, as well as a desire for salty foods. Of course, all of these side effects are also signs of depression."

monosodium glutamate (msg)

"Adult rats which have received monosodium-L-glutamate (MSG) (4 mg/g body weight) on alternate days for the first ten days of life acquire neurotoxic lesions of the retina and arcuate nucleus and manifest an endocrine deficiency syndrome characterized by stunted growth, obesity, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism and pituitary atrophy. From these findings several conclusions were drawn: 1) The MSG-induced endocrine deficiency syndrome appears to result from the destruction of ARC-ME dopaminergic and cholinergic tuberoinfundibular systems within the hypothalamus; 2) a normal concentration of serotonergic and noradrenergic neurons within the hypothalamus does not insure normal central neuroendocrine regulation; 3) no more than 50% of the dopaminergic terminals in the ME arise from ARC perikarya; 4) cell bodies within the ARC contribute very few, if any, nerve terminals containing releasing factors to the ME; 5) MSG destroys the primary optic tracts while sparing the retino-hypothalamic projection; 6) LHRH, somatostatin and TRH are not contained within cholinergic nerve terminals in the ME."

Endocrinology Vol. 101, No. 2 613-622, (1977). 

"Histochemical examination of the hypothalamic arcuate area revealed a marked loss of dopaminergic perikarya in MSG V, but not MSG I animals; other catecholamine systems appeared intact. This raises the possibility that damage to the tubero-infundibular dopamine system may contribute to endocrinological and other deficits observed after neonatal MSG treatment."

salt

"The results indicate that weanling animals have a greater jejunal sodium absorption than older animals, probably because of higher noradrenergic tonus. A challenge with a high-salt diet results in a decrease of the intestinal sodium absorption in weaning rats but not in adult rats; endogenous dopamine appears to play an important role in this regulation."

"These results suggest that sodium restriction leads to activation of antinatriuretic antidiuretic systems in HF patients. However, renal ability to synthesize dopamine is increased in this condition, probably as a counter-regulatory mechanism."

"These results suggest that salt-sensitive hypertension is modulated by dopaminergic activity, which in turn is attenuated in SS patients.

sugar

"After a few days, the rats were "hooked" - wanting to drink more each day. Their brains created more dopamine receptors. After a month of this schedule, when the sugar was removed, or the dopamine was chemically blocked using a drug, anxiety increased, to the point that the rats' teeth audibly chattered -- a sign of withdrawal, Hoebel said. What was especially interesting was that rats got a dopamine high even if they didn't actually digest the sugar. One set of rats had drains placed in their stomachs that made all the fluid secrete out. Even in that group, the rats craved sugar."

Rada and NM Avena, "Evidence for sugar addiction: behavioral and neurochemical effects of intermittent, excessive sugar intake". Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Review 32: 20-39. PMID 17617461 (2011). 

"Recent behavioral tests in rats further back the idea of an overlap between sweets and drugs. Drug addiction often includes three steps. A person will increase his intake of the drug, experience withdrawal symptoms when access to the drug is cut off and then face an urge to relapse back into drug use. Rats on sugar have similar experiences. Researchers withheld food for 12 hours and then gave rats food plus sugar water. This created a cycle of binging where the animals increased their daily sugar intake until it doubled. When researchers either stopped the diet or administered an opioid blocker the rats showed signs common to drug withdrawal, such as teeth-chattering and the shakes. Early findings also indicate signs of relapse. Rats weaned off sugar repeatedly pressed a lever that previously dispensed the sweet solution." 

Leah Ariniello, "Sugar Addiction" Brain Briefings, Society for Neuroscience (October 2003). 

"We made a fake bee and let it fly over the blue and yellow flowers" with variable amounts of sugar, Dr. Montague said. Each time a virtual bee landed on a flower, its dopamine neuron was alerted. As in most animals, the dopamine neuron at rest fires signals at a steady, base-line rate. When it is excited, it fires more rapidly. When it is depressed, it ceases firing. The virtual bee's neuron was designed to give three simple responses. If the amount of sugar was more than expected (based on what the bee knows about similar looking flowers), the neuron would fire vigorously. Lots of dopamine meant lots of reward and instant learning. If the amount of sugar was less than predicted, the neuron would stop firing. Sudden lack of dopamine, going to other parts of the brain, told the bee to avoid what had just happened. If the amount of sugar was the same, as predicted, the neuron would not increase or decrease its activity. The bee learned nothing new. This simple prediction model -- the dopamine neuron "knows" what has just happened and is waiting to see if the next reward is greater or smaller or the same - offers one explanation for how the bee behavior might arise, Dr. Sejnowski said. When the dopamine neuron encounters an empty flower, it throws the bee brain into an unhappy state. The bee, in fact, cannot stand hitting so many empties. It would rather play it safe and get more numerous, smaller rewards - or no rewards at all - by sticking to the yellow flowers."

Gene-Meme Parasites


Andre Willers
28 Jan 2015

Synopsis :
Successful genes and memes alter the phenotype and even behaviour of individuals , without regard to the benefit of the individual or even the species . The selfish gene has got into bed with the Selfish Epigenetic system . Civilization is a parasite on competent individuals , until very deep into the Singularity .

Discussion :
1.Actual examples :
See Appendix A .
1.0 How to calculate Gene Prevalence  - See Appendix F
1.1Genghis Khan -See Appendix A
1.2 Giocangga -See Appendix B
1.3 Uí Néill – see Appendix C
1.4 Abraham – see Appendix D
1.5 Jesus and Mohammed – see Appendix E
 
2.Comparing the influence of gene-meme complexes.
See Appendix G
People from Northern China are 3 times more likely to initiate major changes .

3.Want to start your own religion for fun and profit ?
You used to need at least Dunbar’s Limit (150) as start-up disciples .
But that is so old news .
Facebook has broken the Dunbar Limit . It is now floating .
This has interesting ramifications as churches lose membership because critical numbers of deacons and priests fall below the new Dunbar’s Limit . What is delicious , is that they do not even realise why their churches are dying .
They can easily kicker them up , but that would suppose that they are willing to change .

4.An Interesting Aside :
The decline of the Western Roman Empire induced the inhabitants of North Africa to emigrate to Ireland .
The origin of the Irish Flowering .
Note the dates . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandal_Kingdomand Appendix C .
They lasted quite long , until 1603 , when the much diminished descendants fled to the Lowlands and nobility of Europe .
You know them as the Bilderbergers of today .
See Appendix G
Their total influence is still more than 1.6 times that of Christianity .

5. Jesus’s other disciples .
An exercise for the dear reader .
There were at least 150 .
Who were they ?

6. These idle speculations are about to become life-and-death important as the whole world economic system is heading for the rapids .

7.Well , that was surprising .
I thought the old Roman Empire had decently shuffled off the coil .
But like the bobble in the carpet , it keeps on surfacing .
The whole meme-structure of slavery , debt bondage , interest rates , etc .

Appendix A

Millions of men bear the genetic legacy of Genghis Khan, the famously fertile Mongolian ruler who died in 1227. Researchers have now recognized ten other men whose fecundity has left a lasting impression on present-day populations. The team's study1 points to sociopolitical factors that foster such lineages, but the identities of the men who left their genetic stamp remains unknown.
The case for Genghis Khan’s genetic legacy is strong, if circumstantial. A 2003 paper2 led by Chris Tyler-Smith, an evolutionary geneticist now at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, discovered that 8% of men in 16 populations spanning Asia (and 0.5% of men worldwide) shared nearly identical Y-chromosome sequences. The variation that did exist in their DNA suggested that the lineage began around 1,000 years ago in Mongolia.
Khan is reputed to have sired hundreds of children. But a Y-chromosome lineage traces a single paternal line in a much larger family tree, and for it to leave a lasting legacy takes multiple generations who fan out over a wide geographical area, says Mark Jobling, a geneticist at the University of Leicester, UK, who led the latest study with geneticist Patricia Balaresque of Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France.
“Lots of men have lots of sons, by chance. But what normally doesn’t happen is the sons have a high probability of having lots of sons themselves. You have to have a reinforcing effect,” says Jobling. Establishment of such successful lineages often depends on social systems that allow powerful men to father children with multitudes of women.
The start of something big
In addition to Genghis Khan and his male descendants, researchers have previously identified the founders of two other highly successful Y-chromosome lineages: one that began in China with Giocangga, a Qinq Dynasty ruler who died in 15823, and another belonging to the medieval Uí Néill dynasty in Ireland4.
Related stories
Jobling’s team made a systematic search for genetic founders by analysing the Y chromosomes of more than 5,000 men from 127 populations spanning Asia; they focused on that region because lots of data were available and there was already evidence of such lineages. The team identified 11 Y-chromosome sequences that were each shared by more than 20 of the 5,321 genomes. The researchers used DNA differences in the shared sequences, which accumulate over time from random mutations, to determine approximately when the founder of the lineage lived. They tracked back the geographical origins of the lineages by assuming that the founding men had lived in the regions where their genotypes were most prevalent and diverse.
Genghis Khan’s paternal lineage again stood out, as did Giocangga’s, Jobling’s team reports in theEuropean Journal of Human Genetics1. The other nine lineages originated throughout Asia, from the Middle East to southeast Asia, dating to between 2100 bc and ad 700. Jobling warns that these dates come with huge margins of error, but he notes that the estimates for the lineages attributed to Khan and Giocangga are very close to those of past studies.
Legacy of power
The founders who lived between 2100 bc and 300 bc existed in both sedentary agricultural societies and nomadic cultures in the Middle East, India, southeast Asia and central Asia. Their dates coincide with the emergence of hierarchical, authoritarian societies in Asia during the Bronze Age, such as the Babylonians. Three lineages dating to more recent times were all linked to nomadic groups in northeast China and Mongolia. These included the lineages linked to Genghis Khan and Giocangga, plus a third line dating to around ad 850.
All three lineages seem to have expanded westwards, possibly along the Silk Road trade route. Historians have documented a series of polities based in inner Asia between 200 bc and the eighteenth century, such as the Qing Dynasty. Jobling says that these civilizations could have fostered dominant male lineages after the sons of a fecund founder decamped to satellite outposts, where they, in turn, fathered powerful descendants.
The researchers identify several candidates for the lineage dating to ad 850, but say that more research is needed. Recovering DNA from the candidate or or a long-dead descendant would be the ultimate proof.
“Looking for these links is fascinating. When we did it, we were using pretty indirect lines of reasoning, and you could try and do that with each of these lineages,” says Tyler-Smith. “What I really hope is that at some point someone will find Genghis Khan's tomb and remains.”

Appendix B
Giocangga (ManchuGiocangga.pngChinese覺昌安pinyinJuéchāng'ān) (died 1582) was the grandfather of Nurhaci, the man who was to unify the Jurchen peoples and begin building what later became the Manchu state. Both he and his son Taksi went to the aid of Nurhaci's uncle Atai (阿台 Ātái) whose city was being besieged by a rival Jurchen chieftainNikan Wailan (ᠨᡳᡴᠠᠨᠸᠠᡳᠯᠠᠨ; 尼堪外蘭 Níkān Wàilán), who promised the governance of the city to whoever would kill Atai. One of Atai's underlings rebelled and murdered him. Both Giocangga and Taksi were originally under the command of the Ming general Li Chengliang who was siding with Nikan Wailan. In the mist of battle Li thought they had mutinied as they were left in the battlefield. They were killed in the aftermath by Nikan Wailan.
His temple name was Jǐngzǔ (景祖).
In 2005, a study led by a researcher at the British Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute suggested that Giocangga might be a direct male-line ancestor of over 1.5 million men, mostly in northeastern China and Mongolia.[1] This was attributed to Giocangga's and his descendants' many wives and concubines.[1] It was estimated that the average man in the time of Giocangga would have only 20 offspring as of 2005.[1][dubious – discuss] Gioncangga's descendants in the patrilineal line are concentrated among several ethnic minorities who were part of the Manchu Eight Banners system, and are not found in the Han Chinese population.

Appendix C
The Uí Néill (Irish pronunciation: [iː ˈnʲeːl̪ʲ]descendants of Niall) are Irish and Scottish dynasties who claim descent from Niall Noigiallach(Niall of the Nine Hostages), a historical King of Tara who died about 405.
The first generation of the Uí Néill were his sons, seven in all:
·         Conall Gulban, ancestor of the Cenél Conaill dynasty.
·         Éndae, ancestor of the Cenél nÉndai
·         Eógan, ancestor of the Cenél nEógain dynasty.
·         Coirpre, ancestor of the Cenél Coirpri dynasty.
·         Lóegaire, ancestor of the Cenél Lóegaire dynasty.
·         Conall Cremthainne, ancestor of the Clann Cholmáin and Síl nÁedo Sláine.
·         Fiachu, ancestor of the Cenél Fiachach.
All these men were in their lifetime known as members of The Connachta dynasty, or as "the sons of Niall." The term Uí Néill did not - by its very nature - come into use until the time of Niall's grandsons and great-grandsons.
Dynasties descended from the Uí Néill, such as the Cenél Conaill and Cenél nEógain, held power in Ulster until their defeat in theNine Years War in 1603. Many of the heads of the families left for Catholic Europe in 1607, an event known as the Flight of the Earls.

According to the sixth edition of The Columbia Encyclopedia (2000), Muhammad is probably the most common given name [in the world], including variations.[3] It is estimated that more than 150 million men and boys in the world bear the name Muhammad.

Jesus.
Etymology & Historical Origin - Jesus
The given name Jesus obviously needs very little by way of explanation; the origin is clear – Jesus is the central figure in Christianity. However, Jesus as a given name is distinct to Spanish-speaking cultures and usually rendered with an accented “U” as in Jesús and is pronounced hay-SOOS). In the English-speaking world, Jesus is not used as a given name. The name originates from the Hebrew “Yeshua” which made its way to the Greeks in the form of “Iēsous” and then to the Latin “Iesus.” From there, the “J” was added and became “Jesus” in most of the European languages. The name’s etymological origin is found in the Hebrew words “ys” (to save) and “yesua” (salvation). In Matthew 1:20-21, an angel appears to Joseph in a dream informing him that Mary’s pregnancy has been divinely orchestrated and that he is to name their son Jesus, “for he will save his people from their sins” – indicating that the name had not been selected arbitrarily.
Popularity of the Name Jesus
As mentioned above, people of English-speaking origin won’t use Jesus as a personal name; it makes them squirm with discomfort. Somehow taboo. The closest they come to using Jesus is by way of the name “Joshua.” People of Hispanic decent, however, fully embrace the given name Jesús for their little boys as a genuinely heartfelt demonstration of their reverence to Jesus. The name has become so popular within the Latino-American culture, that “hay-SOOS” feels like just another boys name with Spanish flair so in some cases, it may not even be tied to religion. In any case, it’s clearly the Spanish-speaking Americans, or those of Hispanic/Latino origin, driving the popularity of this name. Jesus has been on the U.S. popularity graph for over a century. The name received moderate usage at the turn of the last century, but fast-forward to this century with the growing Latino population in America, you'll find that Jesus sits squarely on the list of Top 100 most favored boys’ names

Mother Brown Lymph Therapy

31 Jan 2015
Consult your doctor first before doing these .

Synopsis :
A cheap and easy way to move lymph along , especially in the legs .
 
Discussion :
1.Method :
Tie a belt or towel in a figure 8 between the calf of one leg and the thigh of the other leg .
The calf and thigh are inside the loops of the 8 .
Lie on your back with your knees bent .
Open and shut your legs vigorously and rapidly , adjusting the distance between the legs so the belt shifts upwards towards the torso .
1.1 A variant is with snap-kicks in the air . See Appendix B
1.2 Variant for the torso :
Loop belt around torso . Hold ends in hands . Lean against a wall and do slow  , gentle squat .
Let belt wander .

Swap loops around after about ten minutes  or when exhausted .
 
2.How does it work ?
When the belt stops the motion of thigh or calf , pressure of about two times systolic blood pressure is generated . (+- 2x 120 mm Hg)
This is enough to overcome lymph resistance ( which can be seen as about equal to diastolic pressure) .
See Appendix A for the theory .

3.Benefits :
3.1 Cheap
3.2 Can be done anywhere
3.3 Effective.
3.4 Exercise

Appendix A
Simple mechanics gives the relation
P = (1/pi) * (m/L) *(r/b) *w^2/d     ... n/m^2 (Pascals)
Where p is pressure , m=mass of limb(kg) , L = length of limb(m) , w= angular speed of movement of limb(radians) , d= give in strap(m)
(r/b) ~ ratio of length of limb to width of strap as a first approximation .
Take (r/b) ~4 for a 10 cm wide belt .

Take d= 0.001 m as fairly unyielding strap
W can be obtained by counting number of open-shut movements over angle theta .
Typical value would be theta = 30 degrees , open and shut about twice a second .
This gives w=45/360 * 2*pi *2  = 1.5708  radians/sec .
M/L table :
Thigh 13.07 kg/m , p=785.40 * 13.07 = 10265.15*4 Pa = 308 mg Hg
Thigh 5.045 kg/m , p=785.40 * 5.045 = 3962.34 Pa = 120 mg Hg
This should move those dogies along !

NATO defence ministers agreed to immediately set up six bases in eastern Europe and establish a spearhead force of 5,000 troops in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, alliance chief Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday.
France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and Britain agreed to take the lead in forming the spearhead force, which would be available to deploy within a week in a crisis, Stoltenberg told a press conference after talks in Brussels.

Russia Deploys Nuclear ICBM Launchers On Combat Patrol

Tyler Durden's picture




 
Perhaps it is a coincidence that a day before John Kerry's arrival in Kiev (a visit which "coincided" with a 35% devaluation of the local currency) where among other things the US statesman discussed the possibility of official (as opposed to unofficial) deliveries of US "lethal support" to the civil war torn and now hyperinflation country, that Russia decided to put its nuclear ICBMs on combat patrol missions in various Russian regions. Specifically, according to Tass, "About 700 units of military equipment, including launchers are deployed in the positioning areas in the Tver, Ivanovo, Kirov, Irkutsk regions, as well as in Altai Territory and the Mari El republic."
The Topol, Topol-M and Yars mobile ballistic missile launchers have been put on combat patrol mission in six Russian regions, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman for Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) Colonel Igor Yegorov said on Wednesday.

"The Topol, Topol-M and Yars mobile launchers are drilling combat duty tasks in six regions of the country with extended combat patrolling time. About 700 units of military equipment, including launchers are deployed in the positioning areas in the Tver, Ivanovo, Kirov, Irkutsk regions, as well as in Altai Territory and the Mari El republic," Yegorov said.

According to him, the time of winter combat patrolling has been extended to nearly a month this year. "This means that each missile regiment will spend about 60 days per year on combat patrolling routes," he said.

Topol is a ground-based mobile strategic intercontinental ballistic missile system. The Topol-M ICBM system belongs to the fifth generation of strategic missiles. The three-stage solid-propelled single warhead missile has a silo and mobile version. Yars is a solid-propelled mobile and silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile with multiple warhead.
Now all that is needed is for Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Millbarge to show up and to confirm the old saying that "a weapon unused is a useless weapon", especially if said weapon belongs to Northrop Grumman, Lockheed or General Dynamics.

Yellowstone Catastrophe and US Lebensraum Conspiracy.


Andre Willers
7 Feb 2015
Synopsis :
A convincingly high probability of the Yellowstone Supervolcano rendering the North American Continent uninhabitable has the USA and Canada desperately scrambling for Lebensraum for 400 million people . This is driving the seemingly irrational US policies  This is a proper conspiracy theory .
Discussion :
1.The hard evidence :
See Appendices A to E below .

2.Circumstantial evidence : The Conspiracy Theory :
Between global warming and a Yellowstone eruption , there are not many suitable pieces of rich agricultural land for 400 million people .
The Lebensraum (pop density if 300 million americans relocate to 600 000 sq km Ukraine ~500/sq km about the density of New Jersey now . Uncomfortable neighbours , but if they are nuclear armed and desperate , who is going to say no ?)
The Ukraine fits the bill , and to a lesser degree Belarus .
Now you see what is driving US foreign policy in the region .
Russia is aware of this (see Appendix B) , but is scared to push a desperate US by refusal , but is willing to take the biggest pound of flesh it can get away with . Hence the blocking Crimean action denying sea-access .
3. The Middle East Strategy .
A spoiling action to keep the region in turmoil . This will prevent volke-wanderung problems across the Black Sea as global climate changes grow worse . The oil will keep , as proven in Gulf war II .

4.QE and Fracking :
The whole QE story was to furnish cheap credit to enable large scale fracking .
Not for the oil or gas , but for the stimulus to small earthquakes to ease the build-up of large tectonic stresses .
What is worrying is that effort seems to have been abandoned .
The major eruption then seems imminent .See Appendix A and B .

5.More desperate easing techniques like the Israeli techniques of explosives on faultlines or cracking the Yellowstone dome using US nukes will probably be used . What have they got to lose ?

6.Militarising of Police :
Necessary . Enormous disruption in the US is implied .
A draconian state of emergency will be necessary .
Evacuation is possible (2.8 billion passengers carried by airlines in 2011.) , but material possessions ?

7.De-regulation of Space travel .
As is happening now .
DARPA is merrily stoking the pot .
The best is still to get off-planet .
Expect Orion nuke bang-bangs to get really large tonnages into orbit .
The environment will be shot anyway in North America.
They are probably building them right now .
See “Footfall” by Larry Niven .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footfall











8.How long has this been going on ?
My best questimate from the ripple-effects is that the threat has been steadily updated and increased since the Reagan Era .
Deregulation was a response to “skunk-work” things  to speed up response times .
Essentially , DARPA is now running the North American continent .

9.And where’s the gold of the various nations that entrusted it to the US ?
The US has it , all right , but might need it desperately . It probably has already been moved to some secure destination in Europe . Hence the secrecy . I hope they watch their daughters more carefully than their gold .

10. US – Russia collaboration .
Good cop , bad cop routine , with the EU playing the fall guy .
Remember once again , in every major crisis Russia and the West were allies (Napoleon , 1914,1939)




Vasili Arkhipov refused to initiate WW III
I salute him .

US officials, it should be noted, characterized this purely scientific mission as a “bombing run” that came within 50 miles of California, but which their Air Forces were able to repel by their launching of F-15 fighter jets.
This report, however, states that this scientific mission was necessitated by a “severe mysterious magnetic anomaly” detected by the Kosmos 2473 satellite on 3 June occurring in the Yellowstone region of the Western United States which resulted in what is called an “earthquake swarm.”
Most important to note about the 3 June Yellowstone “magnetic anomaly”, this report continues, are that satellite measurements show it being precipitated by the mysterious earthquake swarm hitting the Brooks Range mountains in Alaska, and which seismologists are still at a loss to explain.
The information relating to the linking of these two “events”, this report says, was further verified by the United States Geological Survey (USGSmagnetic anomaly maps and data for North America showing a strange magnetic “disturbance/ripple” emanating from Brooks Range and ending at Yellowstone on 3 June, both of these areas, it is important to note, being part of the Rocky Mountains that stretch more than 4,830 km (3,000 miles) from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States.

Of grave concern to Russian military authorities relating to these “events”, General Bondarev says in his report, was the “catastrophic effect” they had on the advanced “magnetoception” inertial navigation systems employed by many US-NATO-Russian warplanes which use these highly sophisticated aircraft flight devices.
Though no Russia military aircraft were near the “disturbed magnetic zone” emanating our from Yellowstone on 3 June, this report says, two US military aircraft were at its “boundaries” in the Southern California region on 4 June while this “event” was still “active” causing them both to crash.
The two US fighter jets crashing on 4 June, this report continues, were identified as a US Navy F-A-183 that went down when the pilot was attempting to land aboard the carrier Carl Vinson, and a US Marine Harrier AV-8B jet that crashed into a residential community in Imperial, about 90 miles east of San Diego, both of them occurring within hours of each other.
This report notes that no civilian aircraft would have been affected by this “magnetic anomaly” as only the most advanced military aircraft employ these “geomagnetic-satellite” coordinated flight systems which enable them to “hug the terrain” not unlike the magnetic systems used by birds and insects to navigate.

Russian concerns relating to “magnetic anomalies”, it is important to note, are related to the rapidly shifting north magnetic pole which since 2005 has been moving at a rate of 40 kilometers (25 miles) a year from Arctic Canada toward Siberia.
Frightening independent research from last year (2013) further warns that this shift is still picking up speed and according to this researcher should reach Siberia in at least within 2 years. [See video HERE(banned in US)]
One of the effects of the rapidly shifting magnetic north pole being noticed the most, this report notes, are the airport runway systems being disrupted because of it, and as we can read one such 2011 example which occurred in the US:
“Tampa International Airport was forced to readjust its runways Thursday to account for the movement of the Earth’s magnetic fields, information that pilots rely upon to navigate planes. Thanks to the fluctuations in the force, the airport has closed its primary runway until Jan. 13 to change taxiway signs to account for the shift, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The poles are generated by movements within the Earth’s inner and outer cores, though the exact process isn’t exactly understood. They’re also constantly in flux, moving a few degrees every year, but the changes are almost never of such a magnitude that runways require adjusting, said Paul Takemoto, a spokesman for the FAA.”
The most chilling aspects of General Bondarev’s report relating to these “events” are the equations he uses in postulating that what is now occurring in North America with these “mysterious magnetic anomalies” occurring over a large expanse of the Rocky Mountains, and when combined with the rapidly shifting magnetic north pole and growing evidence of global climate change, give “huge credibility” to what is called “The Expanding Earth Theory”.
The expanding Earth or growing Earth hypothesis asserts that the position and relative movement of continents is at least partially due to the volume of Earth increasing and stands in contrast to that of plate tectonics, but which new findings relating to “aether theories” and dark matter, General Bondarev summarizes, means “grave consideration” must be given to the words of University of California, Davis, cosmologist Dr. Andreas Albrecht who warned: “We’ve hit some really profound problems with cosmology Ð with dark matter and dark energy, that tells us we have to rethink fundamental physics and try something new.
Or in simple terms, this report ends, “We may be on the verge of a catastrophic North American “event” that could possibly change the world forever, we should be prepared.”

ANC sê nee vir R1000 miljard rand uit vrees vir ‘te veel witmense’


Die Yellowstone-kaldera onder die Yellowstone-nasionale park. Die warmbronne in die gebied is te wyte aan die reuse- lewende vulkaan onder die oppervlak
Die ANC-regering het ‘n versoek van die VSA van die hand gewys om deel te wees van ‘n Amerikaanse rampbestuursplan waaruit Suid-Afrika $10 miljard per jaar (ongeveer R100 miljard) vir tien jaar sou ontvang. Luidens die plan sou tydelike huisvesting vir miljoene Amerikaners in Suid-Afrika gebou word ingeval die Yellowstone-supervulkaan in dié land een of ander tyd tot uitbarsting sou kom.
Lande wat wel aan die Amerikaanse noodlenigingsplan gaan deelneem, is Brasilië, Argentinië en Australië. Volgens ‘n woordvoerder van die departement van buitelandse sake, dr. Sipho Matwetwe, sal Suid-Afrika nie “deel van die plan wees nie omdat daar ‘n risiko bestaan dat miljoene wit Amerikaners in ‘n noodsituasie na die land gestuur kan word en dit kan ons nasionale kultuur en identiteit bedreig”.
Amerikaanse wetenskaplikes hou reeds jare lank die supervulkaan onder die Yellowstone-nasionale park in die VSA dop. ‘n Supervulkaan is honderd keer so kragtig soos ‘n gewone vulkaan en kan nie net miljoene mense laat omkom nie, maar ook ‘n hele beskawing uitdelg. Indien Yellowstone sou uitbars, sou die hele Noord-Amerika verwoes word en die aarde mag enkele jare lank in ‘n “vulkaniese winter” gedompel word.
Die laaste bekende supervulkaniese uitbarsting het blykbaar ongeveer 70 000 jaar gelede plaasgevind langs die Toba-meer in Soematra, Indonesië. Dit het ‘n vulkaniese winter veroorsaak wat ses tot agt jaar geduur het, asook ‘n tydvak van aardverkoeling ingelui wat ‘n duisend jaar geduur het.
‘n Onlangse wetenskaplike ontleding van die gesmelte rots onder die Yellowstone-nasionale park in die Verenigde State van Amerika het onthul dat ‘n uitbarsting sonder enige eksterne invloed moontlik is.
Wetenskaplikes het voorheen geglo dat vele supervulkaniese uitbarstings eers deur ‘n aardbewing ontketen moet word om die aarde se kors oop te breek vir die magma om te ontsnap. Maar nuwe navorsing toon dat dit spontaan as gevolg van ‘n toename in druk kan plaasvind.
Supervulkane verteenwoordig die tweede grootste gevaar vir lewe op aarde, ná ‘n botsing van die aarde met asteroïdes, en hulle was in die verlede verantwoordelik vir massa-uitsterwings van spesies op aarde, langtermynklimaatsveranderings en korter “vulkaniese winters” wat veroorsaak word as vulkaniese as die sonlig afkeer.
Amerikaanse wetenskaplikes het Suid-Afrika geïdentifiseer as ‘n gebied waar mense sou kon oorleef tydens die vulkaniese winter wat Yellowstone sou veroorsaak. Hoewel die Amerikaanse regering geensins paniek onder sy burgers wil veroorsaak nie, is op ‘n “gebeurlikheidsplan” besluit indien die ergste wel sou plaasvind en Yellowstone tot uitbarsting kom.
Die vulkaan word tans deurentyd deur seismograwe by 45 punte gemonitor en waarskynlike sou die VSA oor enkele weke of dae se waarskuwing beskik om groot getalle van sy burgers oorsee en veral na die suidelike halfrond te stuur.


Yellowstone in die deelstaat Wyoming het 600 000 jare gelede ‘n uitbarsting beleef en meer as 1000 kubieke kilometer as en lawa in die atmosfeer ingestuur – omtrent 100 keer meer as die Berg Pinatubo-uitbarsting in die Filipyne in 1982, wat ‘n merkbare tydvak van globale verkoeling meegebring het.
Hoewel die Suid-Afrikaanse ministeries van buitelandse sake, asook wetenskap en tegnologie, volledig oor die Amerikaanse plan ingelig is, tesame met die groot bedrae geld wat betaal sou word om tydelike huisvesting vir Amerikaners in die Karoo en in die Kalahari op te rig waar hulle sou kon oorleef, het die kabinet besluit om die Amerikaanse versoek van die hand te wys.
Die R100 miljard sou van 2014 af elke jaar vir tien jaar aan Suid-Afrika betaal word, waarna die plan hersien sou word.
Dit kan tot tien jaar neem vir druk om in die magmakamer van die supervulkaan op te bou. Volgens dr. Jean-Philippe Perrillat van die Nasionale Sentrum vir Wetenskaplike Navorsing in Grenoble, Frankryk, “is dit die verskil in digtheid tussen die gesmelte magma in die kaldera en die omliggende rots wat groot genoeg is om die magma vanuit die kamer na die oppervlak te laat styg”.
“Die uitwerking is dieselfde as die ekstra dryfvermoë van ‘n sokkerbal wat onderwater met lug gevul word, waarna dit na die oppervlak styg omdat die omringende water digter is,” sê dr. Perrillat. “As die volume magma groot genoeg is, behoort dit na die oppervlak te styg en te ontplof soos ‘n sjampanjebottel wat ontkurk word.”
Volgens dr. Sipho Mathetwe, het die Suid-Afrikaanse regering “simpatie vir die Amerikaanse uitdaging (challenge) met Yellowstone, maar ons het ons eie uitdagings in Suid-Afrika. Daar is 200 miljoen witmense in Amerika en as te veel van hulle Suid-Afrika toe vlug, kan dit ‘n groot probleem veroorsaak, selfs al is daar genoeg huisvesting en infrastruktuur beskikbaar. Dit sal die land destabiliseer en kan selfs apartheid laat terugkom. Suid-Afrika is nie te koop nie.”
Die Amerikaanse ambassadeur in Pretoria was nie vir kommentaar beskikbaar nie.

The U.S. plan for relocation was formulated after a recent scientific analysis of the park revealed that Yellowstone’s supervolcano has the potential to violently erupt within the next 10-years as noted by others including the famous astrophysicist Michio Kaku.

Scientists have discovered Yellowstone National Park supervolcano is two-and-a-half times larger than previously thought, and it could erupt with 2,000 times the force of Mount St. Helens — a blast that would devastate North America   along with Western Canada.

According to the report, “Brazil, Argentina and Australia” jumped on the bandwagon, accepting the request from Washington.

This is not medical advice .
Synopsis :
Skin Patches to train the immune system .
 
Discussion :
1.A microsize tangle of stalks shelters a MicroLab to fast-test various biohazard solutions .
See Appendix C for present applications .
A MicroLab enables a quick-and-dirty application approach using kitchen equipment without too big a hazard .
See Appendix A , B for how it works .

2.You want low quality teadust or stinging nettle tea bag for the small micronsize
3.Infuze it with the payload
4. Heat it to 1/3(37-20) +20 ~ 25 celsius . You need an optimization of chemical activity and transport across the skin .This is temperature dependant (general theory of optimals) .
5.The Formic acid renders the the skin permeable , and the temperature difference drives the process from the body into the patch .Here the various systems interact as described in Appendix A,B,C .
6.Leave for at least 10 minutes (for long-term potentionation of dendritic immune cells to occur) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_potentiation
7.The Trick !
Now slap on a heated pad just below Pasteurization temperature but over body temp to drive the reaction products back into the body past the skin barrier .  Another ten minutes .
A bit less than 63 Celsius (145F)  . This is about the tolerable temperature for hot drinks .So now you know .
63ºC (145ºF)  30 minutes
72ºC (161ºF)  15 seconds
 
8. Buccal Transforms .
The inside skin of the gastro-intestinal tract is hard to reach by this method .
But there are evolved shortcuts , clustered around the descending duodenal in humans .
The general method is to soak the stinging nettle teabag in the payload , suck it for ten minutes , spitting out any liquid . It is important that nothing be swallowed .
Then rinse , swill and spit with 63C liquid  for 10 minutes .
That’s it . Reprogramming is idiosyncratic . That’s fancy speak for that no one knows . Try it .
 
9.Diabetes II and RLS (related)
The payload is simple sugar .
The method should work for Diabetes II , because Gastric bypasses work .
 
10. Fasting past the 12 hour mark .
This works from personal experience .
Why ? More than the dopamine reward response is involved, but I don’t have the facilities to find out . Frustrating !

11.Eating disorders .
One can intuit that this involves temperatures , micro sizes of foodstuffs and the orders of ingestion  messing up the reward systems .
The microwave has to bear some scrutiny .
Always drinking sugary liquids with suspended micron-structures at 63C is going to screw up your reward systems .
Especially if milk is involved.
 
12. Idoru-Mama
An HyperImage-Mama as perceived by the body .
That extra-latte heated and reheated is setting you up for anorexia , bulimia , binges , and later diabetes .
The prevention is absurdly simple :
As soon as it is cool enough to sip (ie about 63C) , spit in it . That’s it . As it cools down further , the processes described above take place . Over time it adds up .

Who would have thought ?

Summary:
Researchers have developed a novel 3-D vaccine that could provide a more effective way to harness the immune system to fight cancer as well as infectious diseases. The vaccine spontaneously assembles into a scaffold once injected under the skin and is capable of recruiting, housing, and manipulating immune cells to generate a powerful immune response. The vaccine was recently found to be effective in delaying tumor growth in mice.

"This vaccine is a wonderful example of applying biomaterials to new questions and issues in medicine," says David Mooney, Ph.D., a professor of bioengineering at Harvard University in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, whose lab developed the vaccine. The project was co-led by Jaeyun Kim, Ph.D. and Aileen Li, a doctoral student in the Mooney lab. Their findings were published in the December 8, 2014 issue of Nature Biotechnology.
Cancer vaccines
Cancer cells are generally ignored by the immune system. This is because -- for the most part -- they more closely resemble cells that belong in the body than pathogens, such as bacterial cells or viruses. The goal of cancer vaccines is to provoke the immune system to recognize cancer cells as foreign and attack them.
One way to do this is by manipulating dendritic cells, the coordinators of immune system behavior. Dendritic cells constantly patrol the body, sampling bits of protein found on the surface of cells or viruses called antigens. When a dendritic cell comes in contact with an antigen that it deems foreign, it carries it to the lymph nodes, where it instructs the rest of the immune system to attack anything in the body displaying that antigen.
Though similar to healthy cells, cancer cells often display unique antigens on their surface, which can be exploited to develop cancer immunotherapies. For example, in dendritic cell therapy, white blood cells are removed from a patient's blood, stimulated in the lab to turn into dendritic cells, and then incubated with an antigen that is specific to a patient's tumor, along with other compounds to activate and mature the dendritic cells. These "programmed" cells are then injected back into the bloodstream with the hopes that they will travel to the lymph nodes and present the tumor antigen to the rest of the immune system cells.
Biomaterials boost immunity
While this approach has had some clinical success, in most cases, the immune response resulting from dendritic cell vaccines is short-lived and not robust enough to keep tumors at bay over the long run. In addition, cell therapies such as this, which require removing cells from patients and manipulating them in the lab, are costly and not easily regulated. To overcome these limitations, Mooney's lab has been experimenting with a newer approach that involves reprogramming immune cells from inside the body using implantable biomaterials.
The idea is to introduce a biodegradable scaffold under the skin that temporarily creates an "infection-mimicking microenvironment," capable of attracting, housing, and reprogramming millions of dendritic cells over a period of several weeks. In a 2009 paper published in Nature Materials, Mooney demonstrated that this could be achieved by loading a porous scaffold -- about the size of a dime -- with tumor antigen as well as a combination of biological and chemical components meant to attract and activate dendritic cells. Once implanted, the scaffold's contents slowly diffused outward, recruiting a steady stream of dendritic cells, which temporarily sought residence inside the scaffold while being simultaneously exposed to tumor antigen and activating factors.
When the scaffold was implanted in mice, it achieved a 90% survival rate in animals that otherwise die from cancer within 25 days.
An injectable scaffold
Now, Mooney and his team have taken this approach a step further, creating an injectable scaffold that can spontaneously assemble once inside the body. This second generation vaccine would prevent patients from having to undergo surgery to implant the scaffold and would also make it easier for clinicians to administer it.
The new 3D vaccine is made up of many microsized, porous silica rods dispersed in liquid. When injected under the skin, the liquid quickly diffuses, leaving the rods behind to form a randomly assembled three-dimensional structure resembling a haystack. The spaces in between the rods are large enough to house dendritic cells and other immune cells, and the rods have nano-sized pores that can be loaded with a combination of antigens and drugs.
When injected into mice that were then given a subsequent injection of lymphoma cells, the 3D vaccine generated a potent immune response and delayed tumor growth. Compared to a bolus injection containing the same drugs and antigens (but no scaffold), the 3D vaccine was more effective at preventing tumor growth, with 90% of mice receiving the 3D vaccine still alive at 30 days compared with only 60% of mice given the bolus injection.
While the 3D injectable scaffold is being tested in mice as a potential cancer vaccine, any combination of different antigens and drugs could be loaded into the scaffold, meaning it could also be used to treat infectious diseases that may be resistant to conventional treatments.
"The ability to so elegantly harness the natural behavior of dendritic cells to elicit a strong immune response is impressive," says Jessica Tucker, Program Director of Drug and Gene Delivery Systems and Devices at NIBIB. "The possibility of developing this approach as a cancer vaccine, which would not require an invasive and costly surgery to manipulate immune cells outside of the body, is very exciting."
Mooney says that in addition to continuing to develop the cancer vaccine, he also plans to explore how the injectable scaffold can be used to both treat and prevent infectious diseases. More broadly, Mooney predicts that spontaneously assembling particles will be adopted by many fields in the future.
"I think this is going to be the first of a number of examples where we utilize ideas of self-organization in the body instead of having to create structures outside of the body and place them in," says Mooney. "I think that will be broadly applicable, not only in instances like this, but also, for example, in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine where scaffolds are used to facilitate the regrowth of tissues in the body. The ability to assemble a scaffold in the body instead of having to surgically implant it would be a significant advance."
