It marks the ecological New Year, celebrated by planting trees, eating fruits from the Seven Species, and environmental awareness, honoring the connection between people and nature.

Senior Advocate Gopal Sankarnarayanan: there are no allegations against the other two occupy pants of the car. Only person accused is the juvenile. To show that none of them was drunk the juvenile's father asked these people to help replace the blood sample.
Sankarnarayanan: this is a classic case of undermining the entire criminal justice system. It is not just the initial act but about what happened there after. Phone calls are made among all of them and immediately the local MLA lands there.

How Hormones Shape Your Jaw & Face and What You Can Do to Improve Yours Today:
Most people think jaw shape is genetics only.
In reality, jaw and facial structure mirror your hormonal health, muscle tone, airway habits, and overall nutrient status.
And those signals continue in adulthood - slowly, but real.
Here’s the full breakdown. 🧵

And those signals continue in adulthood - slowly, but real.
Here’s the full breakdown. 🧵
1. Androgens Build the Mandible
Testosterone increases periosteal bone growth, especially in the mandible (ramus, chin, angle).
Higher androgens -> wider jaw, stronger projection.
Lower androgens -> softer angle, smaller ramus, flatter lower face.
Science:
– Androgens stimulate mandibular osteoblast activity and periosteal thickening
– Male puberty growth spurt shows a mandible-specific androgen response.
Even adults experience slow remodeling in response to hormonal environment + mechanical load.
What helps:
– stable calories, enough protein, strength training
– correcting low thyroid (because it suppresses androgens)
– fixing chronic stress (cortisol drops testosterone)

PMCID: PMC6206510, PMID: 10327737
2. Estrogen Controls Growth Timing and Bone Density
Estradiol closes growth plates earlier and regulates bone density.
Too high too early -> smaller jaw + reduced forward growth.
Too low -> underdeveloped mandible, narrow dental arch, retrognathic profile.
Low estrogen = loss of jaw density, softer contours. Bone Density Drops -> Jaw Angle Weakens
Estrogen maintains osteoblast activity.
When estrogen is low:
– bone resorption increases
– mandibular cortex thins
– gonial angle becomes more obtuse
– chin looks smaller or more recessed
When estrogen rises out of proportion to progesterone (estrogen dominance), you get a very specific facial change: Subcutaneous fluid retention -> jawline blurring.
The mechanisms are straightforward:
Estrogen increases aldosterone -> sodium retention -> edema
High estrogen upregulates the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS).
Aldosterone increases fluid retention in soft tissues -> the face looks swollen, especially around:
– jaw angle
– lower cheeks
– under the chin
– under the eyes
This is not fat. It’s vascular permeability + water retention.
Estrogen suppresses thyroid conversion (T4->T3)
High estrogen increases thyroid-binding globulin, which reduces free T3.
Low T3 -> lower metabolic rate -> poor lymphatic drainage -> facial puffiness increases.
What helps:
– stabilizing ovulation
– progesterone support in luteal phase
– thyroid -> better aromatase balance
– fat-soluble vitamins A/D/K2 for bone remodeling

In Varanasi there is a small and intense shrine known as the Tara Mata Temple. A local belief says visitors should not stay here for more than ten minutes. This belief has been passed down quietly through generations in Kashi.
According to local lore the temple stands on a site of extreme sacrifice and unfinished penance. The place is believed to carry a heavy spiritual charge that is not meant for prolonged human presence.

There’s a bitter contradiction unfolding in Latino politics: Latino voters are increasingly rejecting Republicans because of ICE overreach—even as the ICE agents who killed Alex Pretti were themselves Latino. 1/5 A short 🧵to explain
The unmasking of the agents involved in Pretti’s killing won’t calm the outrage. It sharpens it. The issue isn’t ethnicity—its power, impunity, & an enforcement culture that treats entire communities as suspect.

Study was published in 2018 in The Journal of Immunology.
Some experiment were done in rodents including baking soda in the water.

Other animals had a surgery to disturb the spleen.
Both surgeries were done to see if these tissues mediated the effect of baking soda.
Then, the human studies were done comparing drinking 2g of baking soda dissolved in water vs 2g of salt.

Animals consuming baking soda in the water showed decreased inflammation in several areas.
In both the kidneys and in the spleen, they had decreased inflammatory M1 macrophages, one of the primary immune cells.
Baking soda increased M2 macrophages, signifying that the macrophages turned into a more anti-inflammatory phenotype.
They also had:
↑IL-10 in the kidney (anti-inflammatory cytokine)
↑FOXP3 cells in blood + kidney (Treg cells, anti-inflammatory immune cells)
↓CD4 T Cells (inflammatory)
↓CD44 T cells (inflammatory)
↓TNFα macrophages (primary inflammatory mediator)
