1. Longevity in humans is linked to optimal solar exposure. The reason is simple. This protects the 7 layers of energy generation inside a cell. The more sun human gets the more diseases they can avoid and the #1 risk of most diseases is AGE. Solar exposure effectively makes you younger because it lengthens the TET mechanism inside of cells to improve the HAyflick limit in all cell lines. It is not hard to understand when your perspective is decentralized.Image
2. From an evolutionary point of view, vitamin D and melatonin appeared very early and share functions related to the defense mechanisms of the mammalian powerplant. In the current clinical setting, vitamin D is exclusively associated with phosphocalcic metabolism when it is sulfated and in its reduced state. When it is not sulfated or reduced its role in calcium control is diminished. This usually happens in winter months with mammals when they are in the cold and LDL cholesterol production is upregulated by the light stress response of the POMC gene by a lack of 380nm light. This signal is via neuropsin & ACTH in mammals. When 380 nm light is missing mTOR signaling shifts mammalian biochemistry from anabolic to catabolic. This occurs via lipid raft electrical changes mediated by cholesterol biology and proteins embedded in the mammal's membranes.Image
3. Calcium flows are critical in mitochondrial control because they are a key dopant atom in semiconductive proteins in humans. Meanwhile, melatonin has chronobiological effects and influences the sleep-wake cycle. Scientific evidence, however, has identified new actions of both molecules in different physiological and pathological settings. In centralized science, there is a belief that melatonin and Vitamin D are inversely related to solar exposure. This perspective is wrong. The decentralized idea is both are controlled by the sun because melatonin absorption spectra tell us this is the case. Melatonin's spectra are 224nm & 290nm. This light is never present at night in the environment. The spectra reflect light made internally. Centralized medicine has no idea of this concept.Image

🚨🧵EXCLUSIVE: OBAMA AND BIDEN WHITE HOUSES, ARABELLA ADVISORS, LETITIA JAMES, AND MARC ELIAS LINKED TO ANTI-ICE RIOTS.

Last night my team infiltrated a Zoom call held by the group ICE Watch whose sole purpose is to obstruct ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens.

The meeting was hosted by a woman name Jill Garvey and she was joined by a man named Gabe Gonzales.Image
Gabe Gonzales serves as the Co-Director of Protect RP, a Facebook group that works to form Anti-Ice groups across the country.

Gabe said he started his organization with only four people.

However, last night he said that the number of people in the organization is in the thousands. He even said the organization does things he is not even aware of.Image
Jill V. Garvey is where things get really interesting.

Jill serves as the Co-Director of a group called States at the Core.

Their stated mission:

"States at the Core (STAC) was created by experts with direct experience in dealing with authoritarianism to meet this moment.

STAC is a partner that fills in resource gaps for community leaders and organizers across the country who are facing everything from white nationalist rallies to school board takeovers to political violence. These issues are beyond the scope and capacity of most local organizations.

We step in with rapid and customized support for front-line groups building strategic, tailored, and bold plans so they can take courageous action."Image

Soy analista financiero con más de 45 años de experiencia asesorando a bancos y millonarios muy importantes en América Latina

Ojalá todos entendieran estas 10 lecciones críticas sobre mercados e inversión basadas en mi experiencia real:
1. Muchos piensan que invertir es solo cuestión de seguir consejos estándar

Pero la verdad es que el mercado es dinámico y no siempre responde como dicen los manuales
He vivido más de 4 décadas viendo ciclos que se repiten
Y te prometo esto:

Entender los patrones importa mucho más que elegir una acción “de moda” por años de tu vida financiera.

1. Jos luet tänään yhden turvallisuuspolitiikkaa koskevan asian, lue tämä.

Yhdysvallat julkaisi juuri uuden National Defense Strategyn, joka on suoraa jatkoa joulukuussa julkaistulle kansalliselle turvallisuusstrategialle.

Muutamia havaintoja 🧵

media.defense.gov/2026/Jan/23/20…Image
2. Ydinajatus on yksinkertainen. Amerikka ei enää näe itseään maailman järjestyksen ylläpitäjänä vaan ensisijaisesti oman maansa puolustajana. Maailmaa katsotaan suurvaltojen kilpailuna, ei yhteisenä turvallisuusprojektina.
3. Ensimmäinen painopiste on USA:n oma alue ja koko oma pallonpuolisko. Rajat, merireitit ja vaikutusvalta lähialueilla ovat strategian ytimessä. Amerikka huolehtii ensin omasta turvallisuudestaan ja asemastaan.

A Thread 🧵

Did you know that ICE is using an app called ELITE created by Palantir that populates a map with alleged deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address? The confidence score calculates the probability of the subject physically being at the address, which requires data from other sources such as DHHS and USCIS, as confirmed in digital rights reports. .

Such technology empowers ICE agents who filter the map by what the guide calls Special Operations. These are “groups of pre-defined aliens specifically targeted by Leadership for action”

This form and level of surveillance should not take Americans by surprise. From slave patrols and Jim Crow policing that targeted Black people, to the COINTELPRO operations that spied on civil rights and anti-war organisers, the United States has a rich history of spying on marginalised communities.

From the US to Palestine to England, Palantir continues to cement its status internationally.

In November 2023, NHS England awarded Palantir a £330m contract to create a new data management system. In response, more than 100 health workers, patients, and allies picketed the offices of NHS England on 3rd April 2024 to demand the cancellation of this contract.

In addition to this, Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp says he is “exceedingly proud” of Palantir’s involvement in what he calls “operationally crucial operations in Israel. Palantir is responsible for creating systems like ‘Lavender’ and ‘Where’s Daddy?’, which reportedly speed up the process of killing Palestinians.

Will we see more private companies creating technology used by Western governments to help hunt and deport people from marginalised communities?Image

The forced intimacy of chronic illness.
This is a really important point that HCWs- and everyone for that matter- need to understand
1/
When you live with a chronic illness, you lose your privacy. You have to explain intimate parts of your life- your health, how you manage even part of your day, your relationships, your symptoms- to people you would neverrrr discuss these matters with normally
2/
Suddenly, you have to talk to your boss about your GI symptoms because they are disabling and affect your ability to work. A provider who was a stranger 15 minutes ago now knows all about your fears about what will become of your life. This stuff is HARD

🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED

I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them.

BUCKLE UP ALL WILL BE REVEALED

Each area of the city has a signal or several signals. Let’s start with a screen recording of all members of the south side group to start.
🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED

I have been undercover inside the groups for days.

You’ll notice emojis next to people’s names. Here’s a key for what those emojis mean.

The highlighted positions are the most crucial. Most are self explanatory. Mobile patrols spend their entire “shift” searching for suspicious vehicles.

When they find one they send it to the group so that “plate checkers” can compare with their database and see if it’s a known federal vehicle or if the patrol can make the confirmation so that the database can be updated.

Dispatch runs a maxed out call all day telling protestors where ICE has been spotted and how they can be best impeded.Image
🧵🚨 MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED

For each “occupation” or “shift” position, protestors have to undergo “training”

It’s unclear what the training entails - other than numerous slides of instruction. I’ve seen it mentioned repeatedly. Who is paying for all this?! Image

Frame by frame breakdown of this MURDER shows ICE is lying!

-ICE had ALREADY disarmed the man before shooting.

-The man NEVER drew his gun.

At the 0:06 second mark we see the man’s hands on the ground covered in large gloves.

His hands are empty. Image

Trying to predict the outrages of autocrats is hopeless because their superpower is to generate constant shocks to dominate the environment. But what’s happening in Minnesota is method, not madness. Trump wants violence, to radicalize & divide, to create pretext for crackdowns.
First, to claim only he can solve the crisis (that he is creating), a typical formula. Chaos & violence push people toward a "law and order" strongman. Also, as the midterms approach, the grounds must be prepared for interfering with the democratic process for "security" reasons.
Having lived through a similar, nationwide version of this in Trump's model, Putin's Russia, it’s not easy to fight against. And Trump and many of his gang have passed the point at which they feel they can afford to lose power, even in Congress. It’s a perilous moment.

Začíná období, kdy uvidíte zahrádkáře s pilou v ruce.
Polovina z nich přivodí stromům víc škody než užitku. V dobré víře.

Pojďme si na to posvítit. Třeba nějakým škodám zamezíme.

Řez ovocných stromů 👇
1/29🧵 Image
Upozornění na začátek ⚠️
Pečuji o stromy tak, aby byly dlouhověké a nevyžadovaly časté zásahy. To je extenzivní sadaření.

Intenzivní sadaření (krátkověké stromy, cílení na maximální úrodu) je jiný svět. O tom vám nic neřeknu.
Pravidlo nadřazené všemu:
Každý řez by měl mít jasný záměr.

Pokud nevím, co můj zákrok způsobí, tak je lepší nechat stromy vlastnímu osudu.

Vážně! Většinu fatálních problémů přivodí stromům lidé. Image

Su marido la despreciaba, su hermana la asedió en un castillo y su propio hijo le declaró la guerra. Pero Urraca I no se rindió, se puso la armadura y demostró al mundo por qué fue la primera mujer en gobernar sola y convertirse en la gran Reina de Galicia. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
Mucho antes de que María Pita defendiera A Coruña, Galicia ya había sido testigo de la furia de otra dama. Pero sus enemigos no eran ingleses, sino su marido, su hermana e incluso su propio hijo. Así fue como Urraca I protagonizó un "Juego de Tronos" real y cruel. Image
Era hija de Alfonso VI y no estaba destinada a reinar, pero la muerte de su hermano Sancho en 1108 la convirtió en la heredera inesperada de un imperio que iba del Cantábrico al Tajo. Y como la nobleza no aceptaba a una mujer al mando, tuvo que imponerse a la fuerza. Image

Il n'y a pas de "Droite" ou de "Gauche" pour les municipales, seulement à voter pour un candidat ayant le meilleur projet pour TA VILLE . Un ville n'est pas un Etat ni une "province fédérale" !
Et si tous les projets sont bidons, tu votes blanc .
