1. Ball, Hung, Drawn and Quartered for Truth
Did ye sing, John Ball,
as they pulled you apart?
A poet speaking for us all
from England’s tattered heart.
What a price, John Ball,
for singing to us all.
When hope came as a crime
in simple rhythm and rhyme.

2. He who sings a blackbird’s song
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.
So we’ll sing to John Ball
for the helpless & hopeless,
the voiceless, forgotten,
buried beneath the mansions
of Lords; misbegotten
mortar, stones & chandeliers

3. the scarlet grave goods
of England’s preening peers.
We’ll sing in simple rhymes

when those barons’ grandchildren,
so viscous, reptilian,
are thrown from their seat

Sen. John Cornyn is a key vote in the Todd Blanche and is pressing Todd Blanche on the Trump settlement. Many of us have raised concerns over aspects of that settlement, but Blanche confirmed that the weaponization fund under the agreement has not and will not be used...
...Cornyn, however, is noting that the President has not expressly waived that fund provision. However, Blanche has said that there is no chance, even with litigation, that there can be a "revival of the fund" which was never actually funded or used...
...Blanche has emphasized that this was the first case where a president's taxes were illegally released, an act that was criminally prosecuted. He defended the immunity provision in the settlement as standard for such settlements when pressed by Sen. Durbin...

The ancient city of Athens led a confederation of fellow Greek-city states in an ultimately triumphant war against the Persian Empire. After the war, the allies agreed to share expenses to pay for a permanent navy. They stored the treasury on the Aegean island of Delos. 2/x
In the year 454 BCE, the Athenians - the leaders of the alliance - seized the treasury and removed it to their own city. Money raised from all the cities for collective defense was spent by the Athenians on their own city. 3/x

La possibilità di eleggere chi si desidera a dispetto di altri, di primo achito suona molto democratico.

1ère étape : assimilé à l’EM, en poussant les patients à le mettre systématiquement après CL, à tel point que le CL seul n’apparaît plus.
Ce phénomène largement porté par les orgas EM a transformé un terme qui était pourtant Inclusif utilisé seul, en exclusivité : accoler systématiquement une des présentations exclut de fait toutes les autres, et ce d’autant plus qu’une hierarchisation des souffrances a accompagné
le process.

Instead, the US turned actively predatory. Trying to coerce Denmark out of its territory. Quips about annexing Canada. Hammering allies with tariffs, even while demanding they spend big. Toying with backing Argentine designs on the Falklands. Insulting GWoT-era veterans. Etc etc.

La propuesta educativa de las «situaciones de aprendizaje» podría haber sido una estupenda idea, en concordancia con lo que sabemos sobre cómo funciona el aprendizaje. Por desgracia, como suele ocurrir, la interpretación que se ha hecho de ellas ha echado a perder su potencial.⬇️
Cuando supe que el currículo iba a promover el uso de «situaciones de aprendizaje» para organizar la enseñanza, sinceramente me alegré. Una buena situación de aprendizaje puede contribuir a la motivación del alumnado para aprender, cosa que no solo ayuda al alcance…
…de los objetivos del enseñante, sino que también hace su labor mucho más agradable. También puede ayudar a organizar la docencia de una forma más acorde con el aprendizaje, empezando por movilizar conocimientos previos y predisponer a buscar la comprensión.
I want to tell you about a two-time Nobel Prize winner who figured out why humans get heart disease and almost every other animal does not.
His name was Linus Pauling. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is the only person in history to win two unshared Nobel Prizes.
In 1989 he published something that should have changed cardiology forever.
He called it the Unified Theory of Human Cardiovascular Disease.
Nobody listened.

63 million years ago, our primate ancestors lost the ability to make vitamin C.
A single gene called GULO mutated and stopped working. That gene codes for the enzyme L-gulonolactone oxidase. The enzyme that catalyzes the final step of vitamin C production from glucose.
Every other mammal still has a working copy. Dogs make vitamin C. Cats make it. Rats make it. Goats make it.
Goats produce roughly 13,000 mg of vitamin C per day. Under stress they produce even more.
The US government says you need 90 mg.
Humans, guinea pigs, fruit bats, and some primates are the only mammals on earth that cannot manufacture their own vitamin C. We depend entirely on what we eat.
Here is the part that should terrify every cardiologist.
Animals that make their own vitamin C do not get atherosclerosis. Ever.
Humans and guinea pigs do.

Pauling and his colleague Matthias Rath discovered that plaque deposits in human arteries are made up of a specific form of cholesterol called lipoprotein(a). Lp(a). Not ordinary LDL.
Here is what they proposed.
When vitamin C is chronically low, collagen production drops. Collagen is the structural protein that holds your artery walls together. Without enough vitamin C, the arterial walls weaken and develop micro-cracks.
Your body is not stupid. It senses the damage and sends Lp(a) to patch the cracks. Like a bandage on a wound. Like plaster on a broken wall.
Over time, more cracks form. More Lp(a) is deposited. The patches build up. That buildup is what we call atherosclerotic plaque.
The plaques are not the disease. They are the repair attempt. The disease is chronic vitamin C deficiency. Subclinical scurvy.
Pauling and Rath tested this on guinea pigs. They deprived them of vitamin C. The guinea pigs developed rapid atherosclerosis filled with Lp(a). When they restored vitamin C, negligible Lp(a) was found in the arteries.
