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.
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.
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.
Google Maps 🤝 Gemini 3
Now that you can ask Maps complex questions, let’s dig into some prompts that showcase the true power of this update. 🧵
Now that you can ask Maps complex questions, let’s dig into some prompts that showcase the true power of this update. 🧵
Sometimes you need to find a place based on a specific, nuanced need. By asking exactly what you’re looking for, Google Maps will use Gemini to connect the dots across millions of reviews, then proactively show you insider tips from real people. For example:
Planning a meal out with friends takes more than one text to the group chat. Google Maps can now juggle multiple constraints, preferences, and real-time information (e.g. live traffic, busyness, transit, pricing details) to find you the perfect place to go. For example:
Perhaps the single weirdest slave story I’ve yet seen, from 1300s Byzantium.
The varied kinds of insanity:
1) A woman *marries her own male slave*, with no plans to free him, and neither the author nor anyone in-story shows any surprise or disapproval.

Like, who’s supposed to obey who?? (In-story, it’s clearly him obeying her, which the author doesn’t have a problem with. Class trumps sex!)
2) The author shows absolutely zero sympathy for *his own countrymen carried off into slavery by foreigners*.
2) The author shows absolutely zero sympathy for *his own countrymen carried off into slavery by foreigners*.
And he claims that Byzantine law agreed—the court ruled they remained validly enslaved after their owner moved to Constantinople.
It’s a return to the harsh old Roman attitude toward captives, whereby they were considered slaves even if they escaped back to Roman territory.

The Ninth Circuit is BIG mad about Judge VanDyke's latest dissent from denial of en banc rehearing.
Yes, it certainly is provocative. I guess Judge VanDyke may have read "Plain English for Lawyers."
But their outrage is misplaced. What they should be outraged at is this absurd situation. Biological men trying to force their way into a Korean spa that serves women and girls? Have we gone mad?
I am not some hardcore anti-trans activist, and I criticized the rumors of a "trans gun ban" last year. But this is preposterous. Nobody should be able force their way into a place where women and girls are exposed and vulnerable, with the State of Washington assisting them no less!
If a eyebrow-raising dissent helps this get attention (I certainly hadn't heard of this case before now), then good.

The basic facts of the case.
Note that the spa doesn't even ban trans women, just pre-op trans women. Pretty progressive overall for a traditional Korean spa.
Yet it wasn't enough.
Sidenote - this kind of legal bullying does not do the trans community any favors in terms of public perception.

Soy italiano. Acabo de regresar de Napoles.
Durante la cena, mis viejos amigos y yo empezamos a discutir sobre lo mismo que siempre discutimos: ¿qué ciudades de Italia son realmente increíbles pero de las que nadie habla nunca?
Estuvimos horas discutiendo. Al final de la noche, teníamos una lista.
7 ciudades ocultas que la mayoría de las personas, incluida la mayoría de los italianos, nunca pensarán en visitar, y mucho menos en mudarse a ellas.
Sin multitudes. Sin precios para turistas. Calidad de vida increíble.

Vijay Prashad, a key leader in the network of activist groups funded by Shanghai-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham, announced that he had met with Cuba's Politburo this week. Manolo de los Santos of The People's Forum & the International People's Assembly joined him.

1/ America launched strikes on Iran while Iran was actively negotiating and had agreed to stop uranium refinement. I've spent 55 years studying how political and economic systems collapse, and I have never seen a miscalculation this large play out this fast.

2/ The Ayatollah they killed was the very man who issued a religious ruling against Iran building nuclear weapons. They assassinated the argument against proliferation. Now watch what every government on earth concludes from that.
3/ America does not invade North Korea. It does not attack Russia. The pattern is not subtle. The only protection from American military force is a nuclear deterrent. This war is the most effective advertisement for proliferation that has ever existed.
1/3 When we found out back in September '25 that 'Rubicon' is based in Patriot Park (rferl.org/a/russia-drone…), I thought location might be a stunt to impress Belousov or something. Now, with this new GRU sabotage unit – 'Centre 795' – also based there, everything falls into place x.com/michaeldweiss/…
2/3 'Centre 795' is a rival structure to GRU Andrey Averyanov’s team, whose headquarters, as we recently found, are likely based in Moscow on the premises of a secret military institute.
3/3 So, we have two rival GRU structures whose duties somehow overlap, with both headquarters discovered by us with the help of open sources (and a little bit of HUMINT)🫡
On this day in 1978, George Washington is posthumously promoted. It had been more than two centuries since the American Revolution began. Washington’s new rank? General of the Armies of the United States.

Today, the rank is the highest in the United States military, and it has been held by only one other officer, John Pershing (WWI). Even Pershing, though, cannot hold a rank equal to Washington’s. Congress also resolved that “no officer of the United States Army should outrank Lieutenant General George Washington.”
