Does Oil Replenish Itself in the Earth

Posted on April 18, 2024 by Ken
American civilization as we know it appeared to be in grave peril a quarter century ago.

Why We’ll Never Run Out of Oil | Discover Magazine
When Arab nations cut off oil shipments to the United States during the 1973
war in the Middle East, gasoline prices abruptly rose 40 percent and panic ensued.
Motorists idled in long lines at gas stations, where creeping tensions led to fights and even occasional shootings. Automakers scrambled to retool their assembly lines to manufacture miserly compacts rather than gas-guzzling behemoths.
Entrepreneurs poured millions into upstart solar-energy and wind-power companies. Politicians pontificated about the need for collective belt-tightening and offered income tax credits to homeowners for energy-saving insulation. Meanwhile, doomsday scenarios predicted ever-increasing shortages of fossil fuels and $100-a-barrel oil prices by the year 2000.

Last year, wells around the world — from the sands of Saudi Arabia to the deep continental trench off the coast of Brazil — will pump some 75 million barrels of oil each day to satisfy demand. That’s about 25 billion barrels a year, and the number is climbing at a rate between 2 and 3 percent a year. Barring a worldwide recession, the U.S. Energy Information Administration believes the world will be consuming around 110 million barrels a day by the year 2020. And it looks as though we won’t be running short by then either. “It’s hard for people who remember the seventies to accept this, but I believe we’ll never ‘run out’ of oil the way the pessimists used to think,” says Michael Lynch, a political scientist at MIT.

Does oil replenish over time?

Oil does not replenish over time as quickly as it is extracted1. 
It takes millions of years for oil to form, and the conditions on modern Earth
do not support oil replenishment at the contemporary rate of extraction 1. 
Leaving oil in your engine beyond the recommended oil change date can result in damage, so regular oil changes are necessary to remove contaminated oil and replenish the engine with fresh oil 2 3.

The question of when the world’s oil supply will run out is complex and depends on various factors, including consumption rates, technological advancements, and the discovery of new reserves. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the world’s oil supply is projected to continue meeting the growing global energy demand until at least 20501. However, some estimates suggest that current oil supplies could last for about 41 years 2, while others indicate that oil reserves might be depleted
by 2052 3.

It’s important to note that these are estimates and actual outcomes may vary
due to changes in energy policies, shifts towards renewable energy sources,
and improvements in energy efficiency.
The concept of “peak oil” also plays a role, which is the point at which the maximum
rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. 
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that we could reach peak demand for
oil in 2028, influenced by factors like rising prices and the increased adoption of electric vehicles 1.
As the world moves towards more sustainable energy sources and technologies,
the reliance on oil may decrease, potentially extending the time before oil reserves
are fully depleted.

How long will oil supply run out?
You may have read that the world’s oil supply will run out in a few decades.
In the early 80s, it was not uncommon to read that the supply of oil would
be gone for all practical purposes in just a few years.

Fortunately, these predictions weren’t accurate.
But the notion that we will exhaust all the oil under the surface of the earth persists.
There may well come a time when we no longer use oil remaining in the ground because
of the impact of hydrocarbons on climate or because there are cheaper alternatives.

Mistaken Assumptions
Many predictions that we will run out of oil after a certain period of time are based
on a flawed understanding of how the reserve supply of oil should be assessed.

One typical way of making the assessment uses these factors:
The number of barrels we can extract with existing technology.
The number of barrels used worldwide in a year.

Naive Calculation
The naivest way to make a prediction is to simply do the following calculation:
Yrs. of oil left = # of barrels available / # of barrels used in a year.
So, if there are 150 million barrels of oil in the ground and we use 10 million a year,
this type of thinking would suggest that the oil supply will run out in 15 years.

If the predictor realizes that with new drilling technology
we can gain access to more oil, he will incorporate this into his estimate
of #1 making a more optimistic prediction of when the oil will run out.
If the predictor incorporates population growth and the fact that demand 
for oil per person often rises, he will incorporate this into his estimate for
#2 making a more pessimistic prediction.
These predictions, however, are inherently flawed
because they violate basic economic principles.

The Truth About Middle East Oil Reserves
By Pierre Tristam

We Will Never Run Out of Oil
At least not in a physical sense. There will still be oil in the ground 10 years from now,
and 50 years from now and 500 years from now. This will hold true no matter if you take
a pessimistic or optimistic view about the amount of oil still available to be extracted.
Let’s suppose that the supply really is quite limited.
What will happen as the supply starts to diminish?
First, expect to see some wells run dry and either be replaced with
new wells that have higher associated costs or not be replaced at all.

Price Bump at the Pump
Either of these would cause the price at the pump to rise.
When the price of gasoline rises, people naturally buy less of it;
the amount of this reduction being determined by the amount of the price increase and the consumer’s elasticity of demand for gasoline. This does not necessarily mean that people will drive less (though it is likely), it may mean that consumers trade in their SUVs for smaller cars, hybrid vehicles, electric cars or cars that run on alternative fuels.
Each consumer will react to the price change differently, so we would expect to see everything from more people bicycling to work to used car lots full of Lincoln Navigators.

Supply and Demand
If we go back to Economics 101, this effect is clearly visible.
The continual reduction of the supply of oil is represented by a series of small
shifts of the supply curve to the left and an associated move along the demand curve.
Since gasoline is a normal good, Economics 101 tells us that we will have a series of price increases and a series of reductions in the total amount of gasoline consumed.
Eventually, the price will reach a point where gasoline will become a niche good purchased by very few consumers, while other consumers will have found alternatives to gas.
When this happens there will still be plenty of oil in the ground, but consumers will have found alternatives that make more economic sense to them, so there will be little, if any, demand for gasoline.

More Money for Fuel Cell Research?
There already exists plenty of alternatives to the standard internal combustion engine. With gasoline less than $2 a gallon in most areas of the United States, electric cars are not very popular. If the price were significantly higher, say $4 or $6, we’d expect to see quite a few electric cars on the road. Hybrid cars, while not a strict alternative to the internal combustion engine, would reduce the demand for gasoline as these vehicles can get twice the mileage of many comparable cars.

Electric and Hybrid Cars
Advances in these technologies, making electric and hybrid cars cheaper to produce and more useful, may make fuel cell technology unnecessary. Keep in mind that as the price of gasoline rises, the car manufacturers will have an incentive to develop cars which run on less expensive alternative fuels in order to win the business of consumers fed up with high gas prices. An expensive government program in alternative fuels and fuel cells seems unnecessary.

How Will This Effect the Economy?
When a useful commodity, such as gasoline, becomes scarce, there is always a cost to the economy, just as there would be a benefit to the economy if we discovered a limitless form of energy. This is because the value of the economy is roughly measured by the value of the goods and services it produces.
Remember that barring any unforeseen tragedy or deliberate measure to limit the supply of oil, the supply will not drop suddenly, meaning that the price will not rise suddenly.

1970s Were Different
The 1970s were much different because we saw a sudden and significant drop in the amount of oil on the world market due to a cartel of oil-producing nations deliberately cutting back on production in order to raise the world price. This is quite a bit different than a slow natural decline in the supply of oil due to depletion. So, unlike the 1970s,
we should not expect to see large lines at the pump and large overnight price increases.
This is assuming that the government does not try to “fix” the problem of declining oil supply by rationing. Given what the 1970s taught us, this would be very unlikely.

Gasoline: A Niche Commodity
If markets are allowed to function freely the supply of oil will never run out, in a physical sense, though it’s quite likely that in the future gasoline will become a niche commodity. Changes in consumer patterns and the emergence of new technology driven by increases in the price of oil will prevent the oil supply from ever physically running out.
While predicting doomsday scenarios may be a good way to get people to know your name, they are a very poor predictor of what is likely to happen in the future.

 Types of Home Heating Systems (2024 Guide) (thisoldhouse.com)
Choosing the best heating system for your home depends on various factors
such as your climate, house size, energy efficiency, and personal preferences.

 Here’s a summary of some common heating systems and their benefits:
1. Furnace: A forced-air furnace is a popular choice that uses natural gas, propane,
oil, or electricity to heat air that is then distributed throughout the home via ducts.
It’s known for its affordability and compatibility with existing ductwork.
2. Boiler: Boilers heat water and distribute the steam or hot water to radiators or baseboard heaters. This type of radiant heating is efficient and provides even warmth, making it suitable for homes in colder regions.
3. Heat Pump: Heat pumps are highly efficient and can provide both heating and cooling. They work best in moderate climates and can be less effective in very cold temperatures.
4. Electric Space Heaters: These are portable and can be a good option for heating individual rooms or small spaces. They come in various types, including infrared, oil-filled, and fan-forced models.
5. Hydronic Heating Systems: These systems use hot water from a boiler to heat the home through a series of pipes installed under the floor or in baseboard heaters.

When considering a new heating system, it’s important to look at the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating, which measures how much of the energy consumed
is actually converted into heat. Modern systems can have AFUE ratings as high as 98.5%, indicating high efficiency.
For personalized advice, it would be beneficial to consult with a local HVAC expert who can assess your specific needs and recommend the most suitable system for your home. They can take into account the size of your home, insulation quality, local climate, and energy costs to help you make an informed decision.

Most Efficient Heating System – Forbes Home
Scientists measure heat value in British Thermal Units or BTUs for short.
A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise one pound of water one degree F.

It is about the heat of a birthday candle flame.
Heating Oil has 138,690 BTUs per gallon.

Click here to learn about the other benefits of heating oil.
Natural Gas has 1,030 BTUs per cubic foot. 135 Cubic feet equals the
heat content of one gallon of oil. Kerosene has 131,890 BTUs per gallon.
1.05 gallons equals the heat content of one gallon of oil.
Propane has 91,500 BTUs per gallon. 1.52 gallons equals the heat of one gallon of oil.
Electricity has 3,413 BTUs per kilowatt hour (kwh). 40.6kwh equals the heat content of one gallon of oil.
Wood: One full cord of wood has the heat value of 95 gallons of oil.
Anthracite Coal has 12,000 BTUs per pound. About 12 pounds equals the heat content of one gallon of oil.
When comparing the unit costs for the various fuels, remember to include any taxes and meter or service charges the gas or electric companies add to the bill. 

Knowing the Cost to Convert from Oil to Gas
Before making the decision to switch from oil to gas, consider what it may cost!
There are many factors that affect how much a conversion can cost, including:
Adding a gas line
Updating appliances
Installing a chimney liner
Removing the old oil tank

The contractor you choose.
Additionally, here are some things we want our customers to know before making the move from oil to gas: The United States has only 4% of the world’s natural gas reserves, while 73% are located in Russia, Eurasia, and the Middle East, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Methane losses from natural gas systems account for 18% total worldwide methane emissions, according to the international organization Methane to Markets.
The Consumer Energy Council of America calls fuel conversion an “expensive gamble”
and recommends that homeowners upgrade their oil equipment to achieve conservation, rather than switch fuels. Conversion is more expensive than upgrading, with a low likelihood of meaningful savings. Natural gas is explosive, and leaks can be hazardous.
Natural gas heating systems are also the leading cause of non-fire-related carbon monoxide deaths
Gas utilities generally provide neither preventive maintenance nor emergency service.
As a result, gas customers also may be wasting fuel by using poorly tuned equipment,
and they might have no one who will help them in the event of a no-heat emergency.

This new Google Maps feature is game changer for EV drivers.
Kathleen Wong USA TODAY

Electric vehicle drivers are getting a little extra help on the road from Google Maps.
Google Maps and Search is rolling out new features tailored just for electric vehicles, including specific information on the location of EV chargers and hotels with on-site chargers. Maps will also help drivers plan charging stops on their travels in real time.
In 2023, 1.6 million electric vehicles were sold in the U.S., up 60% from 2022. However, one of the common concerns about owning an electric vehicle is that people don’t know where to charge them.
One of the features now available on mobile is AI-powered summaries detailing a charger’s exact location since it can be difficult for drivers to locate where a charger is in a multilevel parking lot. Google created the summaries based on millions of reviews posted in Google Maps by fellow users, including what type of plug they used and charging time. In Maps, drivers get detailed summaries leading them right to the charger.

While on-the-go, Google Maps’ in-car map will also display nearby chargers, including real-time port availability and charging speed. While giving directions, Google Maps will also suggest the best charging locations on one- and multi-stop trips. The suggested stops will be based on the car’s battery level. Cars with built-in Google will be the first to get these two features in the coming months, the company said.
To help drivers with their overnight travel plans,

Google Search’s travel page will also show hotels with on-site EV charging.

Why is Viewing Denali So Elusive? – Search Videos (bing.com)
Visitors of Denali National Park can be broken up into two groups: the 30% club and everyone else. The 30% club is made up of the people who were fortunate enough to
catch a glimpse of Denali, the tallest mountain in North America.
The weather changes constantly in Denali National Park, and we often recommend to guests that they dress for sun, rain, wind, and sometimes even snow all in the same day. There’s an old saying that sums it up nicely: “If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.” The weather is so varied in the park that about 7 out of 10 days the mountains are out of sight because the Alaska Range is often shrouded in clouds.

Dramatic Clouds in Denali National Park

 But why do clouds cover the summit of Denali so often? – Search Videos (bing.com)
Much of the answer has to do with where the Alaska Range sits in relation to the ocean. Mountain ranges throughout the state play a big role in influencing the weather and climate.
When low pressure systems move northward from the Gulf of Alaska, that moist cold
air hits the mountain ranges and condenses while rising upward. This results in clouds
and precipitation in the mountains that often obstructs the view of Denali.
This weather pattern means the south side of the Alaska Range, also known as the windward side, receives more precipitation than many other parts of the state.
As a result, this area is home to large scale glaciers and icefields.
The north side of the Alaska Range, where most visitors stay in Denali National Park,
is actually in the rain shadow of the Alaska Range. The weather on the northern side
is much more forgiving than the southern side of the mountain, but it is still often
varied and unpredictable.

Complete Guide to Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska (msn.com)
While the weather changes often in Denali National Park, this fact alone should not dissuade you from visiting. Rain, snow, and wind are all part of the experience of Alaska. Often, clouds can add a dramatic look to the already breathtaking landscapes of the park. Even so, the elusiveness of the view makes it that much more special. Whether you are lucky enough to spot the mountain or not, there are tremendous views in almost every direction in Denali National Park. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see the mountain on your first trip to the park. If not, there’s that much more reason to visit again!

See all formats and editions.

You have been inundated with reports from the media, governments, think tanks
and ”experts” saying that our climate is changing for the worse and it is our fault.
Increases in droughts, heat waves, tornadoes and poison ivy – to name a few – are all blamed on our ”sins of emissions” from burning fossil fuels and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Yet, you don’t quite buy into this human-caused climate apocalypse. You aren’t sure about the details because you don’t have all the facts and likely aren’t a scientist. Inconvenient Facts was specifically created for you.
Writing in plain English and providing easily understood charts and figures, Gregory Wrightstone presents the science to assess the basis of the threatened Thermageddon.
The book’s 60 ”inconvenient facts” come from government sources, peer-reviewed literature or scholarly works, set forth in a way that is lucid and entertaining. The information likely will challenge your current understanding of many apocalyptic predictions about our ever-dynamic climate.
You will learn that the planet is improving, not in spite of increasing CO2 and rising temperature, but because of it. The framework of the climate-catastrophe argument
will be confronted with scientific fact. Arm yourself with the truth.

Miss America Madison Marsh

Posted on April 13, 2024 by Ken
US Air Force officer Madison Marsh crowned Miss America 2024 on Monday January 15.
 Search Videos (bing.com)

Marsh, representing the state of Colorado, is also a Harvard University graduate student studying public policy. Madison Marsh had already made a name for herself as an officer in the US air force and a Harvard University graduate student when she took the stage at the 2024 Miss America pageant on Sunday night.

By the end of the evening, she had added another line to her résumé: the first
active-duty military service member to be crowned Miss America in the century-old pageant’s history. “I’m very excited to get to represent women who can break stereotypes,” Marsh, 22, said in an interview the pageant shared on its Instagram page after her win.

Dedicating her victory to her mother, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2018, she also remarked: “You can achieve anything … If I can come from a small town, not being a part of the pageant community, step into this role, so can you.” Marsh had been pursuing –
and achieving – lofty goals for years before clinching the Miss America title.

She entered the US air force academy as a cadet with a pilot’s license and ambitions
of becoming an astronaut in about 2020, as the military news outlet Stars and Stripes  previously reported. More recently, she enrolled in graduate-level public policy classes at the Harvard Kennedy School, which were available to her through a special partnership with the air force.

But Marsh, who holds the military rank of 2Lt, focused on more than just her physics
& astronomy classes as she began rising in the air force. She also decided to compete in pageants during her first year at the air force academy near Colorado Springs, Colorado, figuring they would give her the opportunity to engage in community service and strengthen her public speaking skills, she reportedly told Stars and Stripes.

That all set the stage for Marsh to capture the title of Miss Colorado in May.
“I don’t think I ever would have gotten into Harvard if I wouldn’t have gone to the air
force academy. I don’t think I ever would have become Miss Colorado without the air force academy because they have trained me and honed in on my leadership,” Marsh said to the Harvard Crimson student newspaper.

Marsh’s victory as Miss Colorado qualified her for the Miss America pageant, which was founded in 1921. For the talent portion of the contest in Orlando, Florida, she delivered a monologue about difficulties she overcame when she completed her first solo flight as a pilot at the age of 16. The air force was among the first to congratulate Marsh after she topped the field of 51 competitors.

“Congratulations to our very own airman, 2nd Lt Madison Marsh, Miss Colorado –
who was just crowned Miss America 2024!” the military branch wrote on the social
media platform X, also formerly known as Twitter, late Sunday. “Marsh is the first
active-duty service member to ever win the title. #AimHigh.”

For her part, Marsh wrote Monday on Instagram:
“Here’s to showing the world that women can do anything.”

She said she planned to spend her year-long stint in the role of Miss America raising public awareness about pancreatic cancer through a research and advocacy foundation named for her mother, Whitney Marsh. “To my momma – this whole year is for you,” Marsh also wrote on Monday. “If you were in the audience last night, I know you would have been my first hug.

An officer in the U.S. Air Force was crowned Miss America on Sunday night. Second Lt. Madison Marsh is the first active-duty service member to win the annual competition, according to the Air Force. Marsh represented Colorado, the home of the U.S. Air Force Academy, in the pageant. She graduated from the academy last year with a degree in physics, according to her Miss Colorado bio.  

In December, a few weeks before the pageant, Marsh told some fellow airmen before a flight from an Air Force base in Nevada that she was “trying to make it a positive thing
for the Air Force, for everyone.” Marsh started competing in pageants while attending the academy. “My cousin had competed in pageants for a long time, and one of the big things about it that I love is the community service aspect and the focus on public speaking,” she said in an interview with the Air Force Institute of Technology in November. 

Since 2018, Marsh has been raising awareness and money for pancreatic cancer research through the foundation she founded with her father and sister in honor of her mother, who died from the disease. The Whitney Marsh Foundation has raised over a quarter-million dollars through events like 5K and 10K runs held in Marsh’s hometown of
Fort Smith, Arkansas.

All-Time Worst Financial Crisis

Posted on April 13, 2024 by Ken
The worst financial crises the world has ever seen ©Public Domain

For as long as there has been a market, there have been market failures.
Whether caused by the beginnings of wars, the ends of wars, bad loans, or just the natural progression of things, they have always found a way to occur, and show no sign of being eradicated anytime soon. Some recessions are brief and inconsequential enough that they can be struck from public memory within a matter of years, while others, like the Great Depression or the market crash of 2008, have left indelible, permanent marks on cultures and societies around the world.

Credit Crisis of 1772
This crisis originated in London and quickly spread to the rest of Europe.
In the mid-1760s the British Empire had accumulated an enormous amount of wealth through its colonial possessions and trade. This created an aura of overoptimism and a period of rapid credit expansion by many British banks. The hype came to an abrupt end on June 8, 1772, when Alexander Fordyce—one of the partners of the British banking house Neal, James, Fordyce, and Down—fled to France to escape his debt repayments.
The news quickly spread and triggered a banking panic in England, as creditors began to form long lines in front of British banks to demand instant cash withdrawals. The ensuing crisis rapidly spread to Scotland, the Netherlands, other parts of Europe, and the British American colonies. Historians have claimed that the economic repercussions of this crisis were one of the major contributing factors to the Boston Tea Party protests and the American Revolution.

The British credit crisis of 1772 has been described by scholars and economists
as the first modern banking crisis involving the Bank of England. The trouble began when banker Alexander Fordyce, who found himself in enormous debt, fled from his financial responsibilities to France. Also as word of the affluent banker’s flight spread throughout England, panic erupted, and as people scrambled to get their cash out of banks that didn’t have the liquid funds, nearly 30 banks in England and across continental Europe collapsed.

Copper Panic of 1789
The United States’ switch to a paper money economy was spurred by the Copper
Panic of 1789, during which massive quantities of fake copper coins made their way into circulation, destroying the value of real copper and causing the American public to lose faith in the copper coin.

The Recession of 1802
Wartime economic stimulation in the United States ceased after Napoleon won the
French Revolutionary War. This alone put the US economy in a precarious position, and with the added interference of Barbary pirates (Muslim pirates who operated from North Africa), the States slipped into a recession that led to the instigation of the First Barbary War.

Recession of 1812
In the months preceding the War of 1812, the United States experienced a brief but serious recession. Fortunately for the economy, the boost in production to feed the war machine quickly pulled the economy out of danger.

The Poyais Scheme of 1825
Scotsman Gregor MacGregor pulled off a spectacular scam in 1825 that worked so well it caused a minor recession. MacGregor made thousands by convincing people to invest in and buy land grants for an idyllic Central American country called Poyais that, in reality, never existed.
In a time when investors looked to the British stock market to invest in foreign debt, MacGregor had no problem putting his fake government bonds on the market. When his duplicity was exposed, it caused a huge panic in the financial sector of Great Britain and caused the public to second guess their investments after seeing so many of their neighbors lose their life’s savings to MacGregor ‘s scam.

image.png

Panic of 1837
The panic and following recession of 1837 was spurred on by a litany of
failures and mistakes within the American government and banking system.
In a time of rapid westward expansion and privatization of natural resources,
land speculations were going bust left and right; cotton prices plummeted.
Leaving the Southern slavery-driven economy in shambles; and the public was quickly losing confidence in the American banking system, causing droves of people to withdraw all of their savings.
The Panic of 1873 was caused by the closure of Jay Cooke & Co., the largest financial institution in the United States at the time, which had poured too much money
into the construction of the Northern Pacific Railway without seeing any returns.

image.png

What followed the panic was a six-year-long depression. Which at the time was labeled
the Great Depression. After the depression of the 1930s commandeered that title, the depression of 1873-79 became known as the Long Depression

Panic of 1884
A recession that began in 1882 caused by the decline of the railroad industry came to a head after the collapse of two of the United States’ primary banking institutions, Marine National Bank and the Grant & Ward firm. The New York Clearing House gave other banks on the brink of failure massive bailouts to avoid further financial catastrophe.

Panic of 1907
The Panic of 1907 was a brief but intense economic crisis that saw numerous institutions around the world close their doors in a matter of weeks. The recession that followed would last more than a year and was a main precursor to the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.

Depression of the 1920s
The end of World War I left the United States deeply in debt, and with a dramatic decrease in domestic production. Prices dropped 37% in 1920, while the GDP for that year dropped 38%, making it one of the worst financial years in United States history.
Depressions like this are to be expected when shifting from the heightened production of wartime to the scaled-down, less profitable production of peacetime, but the end of World War I struck particularly hard. Thankfully, consumerism quickly reached new heights following the 1920 depression, and the Roaring Twenties were soon in full swing.

Considered the worst financial crisis in modern history, the Great Depression that practically destroyed a generation of Americans began with the Wall Street market crash of 1929. The total failure of the federal government to provide relief or a plan of action perpetuated this decade of starvation, homelessness, economic stagnation, and the worst period of unemployment in American history. At the depression’s peak, unemployment reached almost 25%. In 1933 alone, 4,000 banks were forced to close their doors.

Roosevelt Recession
One of the worst recessions of the 1900s, the Recession of 1937 is commonly referred to
as the Roosevelt Recession, as it was caused in part by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies. While the New Deal itself pulled the United States out of its previous recession, it left gaps in the federal budget that displeased Congress and led them to introduce wide-reaching austerity measures that sent the public and the trading markets into a panic.

The Fabulous 50s Full Album (youtube.com)
The American economy experienced a shift during the 1950s that created more income for more Americans than ever before. Though during the early 1950s the American economy was negatively affected by inflation—prices were rising, currency was losing its value, and a recession was at hand—these problems were relatively short-lived. By the mid-1950s, the nation began to enjoy the fruits of economic boom and prosperity. The robust economy gave rise to the American middle class.

The masses of Americans who grew up during Depression-era poverty and sacrificed for their country during World War II were now marrying, starting families, and entering the workforce. Furthermore, the GI Bill, which offered government funding for veterans attending college, allowed those who otherwise could not afford to continue their education to earn college degrees and win better-paying jobs.

During the decade, small businesses started and grew, while major corporations were merging, thus becoming larger, more profitable, and more powerful. Companies big and small needed workers, both skilled and unskilled, to manage their assets, work their assembly lines, or sell their products to the public. Jobs were readily available, and they were filled by a generation of eager-to-work veterans.

Additionally, more and more workers joined labor unions. These unions negotiated with management for pay raises, better working conditions, and health and retirement benefits. The presence and influence of unions was a key factor in allowing America’s blue-collar workers to enter the middle class.

A man who toiled on a factory assembly line or drove a bus or a truck for a living now had sufficient income to purchase his own home and car, not to mention the latest household appliances for his wife (who, during this pre feminist era, usually remained home and raised the children). He could take his family on vacations and save some of his weekly paychecks. However, some of the unions that represented the working man—most notoriously the International Brotherhood of Teamsters—were corrupt.

The Eisenhower Highway System is a 41,000-mile system of interstate highways that
was created by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 12 . The act was signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower on June 29, 1956, and was designed to eliminate unsafe roads, inefficient routes, and traffic jams 1. Eisenhower is often called “the Father of the Interstate System” because he spent years guiding the execution of law 2.  Search Videos (bing.com)

Travel became an increasingly popular pastime for many. More and more Americans drove by car long distances or boarded airplanes to fly cross-country or across the ocean. The United States was becoming a nation on wheels with a new roadside culture, and federal funds were allocated to improve the then-inadequate national highway system.

Television sets were fast becoming the centerpieces of American living rooms. With a nudge from TV advertising and its ceaseless pitches to purchase everything from beer to bathroom tissue, Americans increasingly became consumers. Of course, Americans also had purchased things in previous decades.

But during the 1950s, more people had enough money to buy nonessential items,
and those who didn’t were making their major purchases on credit.
At the same time, the commercial banking industry expanded, with insurance, trust, and holding companies also entering the money business. With the ready availability of jobs and credit, the 1950s offered most people the ability to purchase all sorts of goods and services for their material comfort.

Gas Crisis of 1973
The gas crisis that coincided with the Fourth Arab-Israeli War was caused by a game of warmongering and embargoes between Western countries who supported Israel financially and militarily, and the oil-producing Arab states who sanctioned these Western nations as a show of solidarity with the Arab coalition headed by Syria and Egypt.

Arab nations cut oil supplies to Israel’s Western allies, causing an immediate and catastrophic oil shortage and a massive spike in gas prices across the Global West.

1979 Energy Crisis
Just six years after the gas crisis of 1973, another energy crisis hit in the months following the end of the Iranian Revolution. The new Iranian government in place was swift to change their oil export policies. Similar to the crisis of 1973, the United States’ dependency on foreign oil became its downfall. The new Iranian government drastically cut the volume and frequency of its oil exports, causing price hikes and shortages in the United States as well as other Western countries.

The “Lost Decade” of the 1980s – Search (bing.com)
Was an international debt crisis that plagued numerous Latin American countries. Inflation and extortionate interest rates on debt borrowed from international creditors and investors led countries such as Brazil and Mexico to find themselves in a massive deficit year after year, with their annual debt payments totaling more than their GDP.
 Black Monday 1987 – Search Videos (bing.com)

Black Monday (also known as Black Tuesday in some parts of the world due to time zone differences) was the global, severe and largely unexpected[1] stock market crash on Monday, October 19, 1987. Worldwide losses were estimated at US$1.71 trillion.[2] 
The severity of the crash sparked fears of extended economic instability[3] 
or even a reprise of the Great Depression.[4]
Possible explanations for the initial fall in stock prices include a nervous fear that stocks were significantly overvalued and were certain to undergo a correction, persistent US trade and budget deficits, and rising interest rates. Another explanation for Black Monday comes from the decline of the dollar, followed by a lack of faith in governmental attempts to stop that decline.

In February 1987, leading industrial countries had signed the Louvre Accord, hoping that monetary policy coordination would stabilize international money markets, but doubts about the viability of the accord created a crisis of confidence. The fall may have been accelerated by portfolio insurance hedging (using computer-based models to buy or sell index futures in various stock market conditions) or a self-reinforcing contagion of fear.
The degree to which the stock market crashes spread to the wider (or “real”) economy was directly related to the monetary policy each nation pursued in response. The central banks of the United States, West Germany, and Japan provided market liquidity to prevent debt defaults among financial institutions, and the impact on the real economy was relatively limited and short-lived. However, refusal to loosen monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand had sharply negative and relatively long-term consequences for both its financial markets and real economy.[5]

Argentine Great Depression of 1998
An already shaky Argentine economy was pushed over the edge after the economic collapses in Brazil, Mexico, and Russia, all important trading partners for Argentina. The collapse of the Argentine economy led to some of the worst years of poverty the country had ever seen. At the height of the depression, the Argentine unemployment rate was nearly 20%, and some estimates suggest more than 50% of Argentinians were pushed below the poverty line.

The Housing Market Crash of 2008
Was the worst financial crisis of the 21st century thus far and sent devastating ripples throughout the global economy for years afterward. Caused by the collapse of the United States’ housing market, some of the largest and strongest financial institutions in the world, who had been profiting for years off of loans they knew to be fragile, found themselves on the brink of collapse, and nearly 10 million Americans lost their homes along with billions of dollars of income.

Greek 2009 Debt Crisis
In the wake of the 2008 global market crash, Greece continued to suffer more than other European nations. By 2009, Greece was buried in debt borrowed from other European countries, causing an economic and social crisis the effects of which can still be felt.

THE RESULTS ARE IN: BIDENOMICS IS A COMPLETE FAILURE | OPINION
BIDENOMICS IS FAILING – SEARCH VIDEOS (BING.COM)Over the last several months, President Joe Biden has desperately traversed the country trying to resuscitate his plummeting poll numbers and reassure American families that his economic agenda is working. He claims that multi-trillion-dollar investments in green energy and excessive government spending will propel our economy into unprecedented heights of American prosperity.
In other words, he is intentionally misleading Americans with the message that his fiscal policies—which he has coined “Bidenomics”—are beneficial. Fortunately, in poll after poll, the American people resoundingly reject Bidenomics because they see everywhere—from the gas station to the grocery store to their credit-card statements—that the Biden admin. economic agenda has failed. Injecting trillions of dollars into our economy didn’t deliver financial relief; it fueled the worst inflation crisis in more than 40 years.

Naturally, President Biden ignores the reality of his economic policies.
Thanks to Bidenomics, American families’ credit card debt has reached a record $1 trillion as people struggle to pay their bills and feed their families under the weight of inflation. The dream of home ownership has slipped out of reach for countless Americans as mortgage rates approach 8 percent and banks tighten their lending requirements.
Sixty-one percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, gas prices are once again  spiking nationwide due to the Biden administration’s anti-American energy policies, and American households have lost, on average, $33,000 in real wealth this year alone. No wonder almost two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the president’s economic initiatives.

To make matters worse, the federal deficit—which was originally projected to return to pre-COVID levels—is now expected to double this year to $2 trillion, accelerating the catastrophic consequences of our $33 trillion national debt on our economic vitality and national security. This is one of many reasons why Fitch Ratings—one of the largest credit rating agencies in the country—recently downgraded our creditworthiness, pointing to our deteriorating fiscal stability and ballooning national debt.
While House Republicans didn’t create this mess, we are working hard to clean it up. Since the beginning of the 118th Congress, we have passed strong legislation to rebuild our economy, rein in the power of the executive branch, restore the congressional power of the purse, end wasteful spending, and reduce costs for American families.

To date, President Biden’s overreaching regulations and burdensome red tape have cost American workers nearly $10,000 per household. His 122 executive orders have saddled our families, farmers, and businesses with $1.5 trillion in additional and unforeseen expenses.
Republicans passed both the REIN IN Inflation Act and the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act to curb record-high inflation sparked by President Biden’s wasteful spending policies and costly executive orders. These two pieces of legislation would require federal bureaucrats to report to Congress the estimated inflationary impact of any executive order before an official vote and ensure that every new “major rule”—that is, any rule with an annual effect on the American economy of $100 million or more—be approved by both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate before taking effect.
We also took aim at President Biden’s attempts, through the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to increase mortgage payments for homeowners with higher credit scores and redistribute those funds to individuals with low credit scores at a time when home mortgages are increasingly unaffordable. It is estimated that this policy could swell mortgage payments for responsible taxpayers from anywhere between $400 to $1,200 per year. Our Free Market Mortgage Act—which passed the House—repeals this unfair rule. On top of higher costs and unrelenting inflation, we should never stick our families with more taxes and more fees.

‘Bidenomics’ Won’t Save America—But Neither Will Reaganomics

CNN’s Erin Burnett speaks with Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. about his criticisms of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.  

As much as it might sadden and enrage Americans who care about things like
the rule of law, personal integrity, and basic competence, it’s unlikely that revelations about Joe Biden‘s corruption or the Democrats persecution of Donald Trump  and his supporters are going to change anyone’s mind about who to vote for next year. While it’s still important to seek justice in these matters, it’s also important to recognize what truly matters most for voters: the economy.

Nothing else can explain the desperate push to keep an increasingly senile, corrupt,
and creepy Joe Biden in office. Other Democratic contenders, like Gavin Newsom, 
Bernie Sanders, Gretchen Whitmer, and Kamala Harris may be more cogent and
slightly less creepy and corrupt than Biden, but all have abysmal economic records.
Newsom and Harris hail from the failed state of California, which is hemorrhaging population and degenerating into a feudal state; Sanders is a committed socialist who dreams of the U.S. becoming like Cuba; and Whitmer crashed the already weak economy of Michigan with insane COVID restrictions.
By contrast, Biden’s economic performance looks somewhat strong. He hasn’t (yet) ushered in a Great Depression. He has overseen the (slow and painful) reopening of the country after COVID. He can boast about high employment numbers (consisting mainly of low-wage jobs). And he can take credit for investing in domestic (and Chinese) manufacturing (by spending like there’s no tomorrow).

Of course, compared to Trump before COVID, Biden looks quite weak.
Gas is much more expensive, inflation is devastating, and the housing shortage 
is reaching crisis levels. In a typically bumbling defense of abortion, Kamala Harris actually admitted that most Americans have no savings and are living precariously: “most Americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy.” Perhaps the wealthiest Americans who donate to Democratic political campaigns are sufficiently insulated, but everyone else is feeling the pinch.
In response, Biden is campaigning on “Bidenomics,” a name his administration gives
to its supposedly pro-working class economic policies. Judging from the latest polls, the message doesn’t seem to be resonating. But this is all Biden has, so he and his surrogates continue to push it.

Biden Buying the Youthful Vote

Posted on April 11, 2024 by Ken
U.S President Joe Biden announces student loan relief on August 24, 2022, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. OLIVIER DOULIERY/

Host, “THE LIZ WHEELER SHOW” COLLEGE DEBT – SEARCH VIDEOS.
And he is still trying his last-ditch effort to save face that his regime was a complete failure to the American People.  The “forgiveness” is superficially intended as relief for allegedly defrauded students and graduates struggling to make ends meet. In reality, the move has more to do with politics than philanthropy.

FACT CHECK: Biden touts’ inflation has “fallen” (msn.com)
Biden is desperate. Inflation is soaring, and Biden is owed a lot of blame for it.
Gas prices are astronomical—Biden deserves still more blame. The election is upcoming, and Republicans are well-positioned to sweep the House and the Senate—while also many Democrat-controlled cities across the country are rife with violent crime. What better way to obfuscate, and to distract the American people from cataclysmic failures, than to dangle “free” stuff?
 
But canceling student loan debt will backfire on Biden for a number of reasons.
A CNBC poll found 59% of people are concerned that canceling student loan debt will exacerbate inflation. That number includes 81% of Republicans and 41% of Democrats. 
Even former Obama administration Treasury Secretary and National Economic Council Director Larry Summers warned Biden that “student loan debt relief is spending that raises demand and increases inflation.”
Only 38% of young people support fully canceling student loan debt, which probably has something to do with it being so manifestly unfair. Responsible people who worked hard and struggled to pay off their debts are left in the dust, while people who didn’t pay their debts are rewarded. Worse still is the plight of the taxpayers now on the hook for this enormous bill who didn’t choose a traditional four-year-degree pathway to success. 

Besides, canceling student loan debt is a misnomer. 
After Supreme Court ruling, Biden cancels student loan debt for millions of borrowers,
Nothing is “canceled.” Biden can’t “erase” student loan debt. He can just transfer it.
Somebody ends up paying: Either the taxpayers are forced to pay for it, or the government simply prints more money. The former is also unfair — as it forces people who didn’t go to college to foot the bill for those who did; the latter dramatically increases inflation.  Canceling Student Debt: Supreme Court said its unconstitutional – Search (bing.com)

Supreme Court strikes down Biden student-loan forgiveness program – SCOTUSblog
And here’s the real kicker: Wealthy folks carry the majority of the student loan debt in
our nation. Biden’s move takes money from lower-income Americans to subsidize higher-income people.
It is the precise opposite of a “Robin Hood”- style “rob the rich to pay the poor” policy.
A report from the Brookings Institution found that one-third of student loan debt is owed
by the wealthiest 20%, while the bottom 20% carry only 8% of student loan debt. In other words, “canceling” student loan debt would effectively force the poor to subsidize bills for the wealthy. 

 The cost to the American taxpayer would be astronomical. 
If Biden only continued the moratorium on student loan payments through the end of 2022, it would cost taxpayers $20 billion. But if Biden outright cancels $10,000 per person of student debt, it could cost taxpayers roughly $300 billion.
Student loan debt is certainly a problem in our nation. It is self-destructive to suggest to young people that a traditional four-year-degree is the only path to success. Those higher education institutions offer leftist indoctrination and useless pieces of paper at an exorbitantly high price. We must do better for our children, and we can solve this problem without Biden’s redistributive ruse of “canceling” mass student debt.

To wit, not everyone needs to pursue a traditional four-year-degree.
In fact, many shouldn’t. If college is the right fit, more young people could consider community college for the first two years before transferring to a four-year institution. Policymakers should also encourage and accredit more apprenticeship programs and partnerships. More importantly, Congress must put an end to federally subsidized predatory student loans at high rates of interest.
This would begin to solve the skyrocketing tuition problem at our colleges and universities, which are incentivized to raise tuition by reckless bureaucrats who continue to make more taxpayer money easily available without either consequence or oversight. The more student loans are backed by the federal government, the more colleges can hike tuition. Consider a Federal Reserve study that found a direct correlation: For every dollar of federally subsidized student loans received by colleges, schools hike tuition by $0.60. Taxpayers can no longer afford this high-aid, high-tuition model.
Biden is desperate to distract people from the pain his policies continue to inflict. 
Dangling “free stuff” like “canceling” student loan debt is a cheap way to try to buy votes.
It won’t work.

Opinion by Sara Pequeño, USA TODAY
 Biden’s legacy will be student loan forgiveness.
Everyone from Gen X to Gen Z should be happy.

On Monday President Joe Biden’s regime unveiled yet another student debt relief plan.
It was the latest announcement from a presidency that will be remembered for student loan debt forgiveness, regardless of your place on the political spectrum.
By this fall, more than 30 million people may benefit from the new proposals, which are supposed to fulfill one of Biden’s 2020 campaign promises – just in time for the general election. This is in addition to the more than 3.7 million people who have already had their loans forgiven through past executive actions from Biden.
The new program will be as close as Biden can get to his initial plan with the conservative hurdles he has to clear, including the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against him.
It addresses multiple types of borrowers: those who have had loans for more than 20 years, borrowers who have interest on their loans and make less than $120,000 a year
plus borrowers experiencing financial hardship.

It’s good – great, even – that Biden is forgiving this debt.
Today’s college graduates are saddled with more debt immediately out of college than our predecessors; gone are the days of paying off your loans with summer jobs or those first few post-grad paychecks. It shows that his administration is aware how different the system is compared with decades prior. 

image.png
About 43 million people have federal student loan debt equating to more than $1.6 trillion. Include private loans, and it’s an additional $131 billion. This is something that affects people’s lives, day in and day out, and it has become increasingly common with each new generation.  

Gen Z is on track to be most educated generation. (Debatable.)
Pew Research Center found that those born after 1996 are on track to be the most well-educated generation. A Gallup poll last year found that 83% of Gen Z thinks college is “very important” or “fairly important.” Biden knows this, and it could pay off for him in November.
Right now, Biden is getting criticized heavily by Gen Z for his stance on Gaza, and he needs to appeal to younger voters who may be wary of heading to the polls. Student loan debt relief is a surefire way to win over progressive voters, even if part of the program is aimed at people 20 years their senior.

About Biden’s support of Israel:
 Gen Z wants no part of Biden’s unceasing support of Israel as civilian deaths in Gaza mount. The plan should also win Biden points with Generation X and millennials, who owe more debt on average. Criticism of this plan – the idea that Biden is buying votes – fails to address the new cost of college and the potential for improving the economy. 
My Opinion addresses the issues of cost of college by capping professors’ wages and how much overhead is being spent in colleges with fancy chandeliers and also new additions.  

Fairness is important. So is economic success.
It’s understandable that older generations feel frustrated by the debt relief Biden
is providing. It’s also true that student loan debt has doubled over the past two decades because of the increase in students pursuing degrees after high school.

There is also a racial disparity in student loan debt.
Black and Latino voters are more likely to have to take on debt and have higher levels of debt on average. Cancelling student loan debt helps mitigate the factors that keep people economically behind their peers.
Borrowers are still feeling the effects of the pandemic as well. About 40% of federal student loan borrowers missed their first payment post-COVID repayment freeze. 

My generation is entitled: Gen Z wants student loan forgiveness without any accountability. It doesn’t work that way.
When older generations complain about younger people being “entitled,” they should remember that debt relief helps the economy overall because it helps people save money for milestone purchases, like buying a car or house. 

Winning strategy for the 2024 election.
By following up on a campaign promise that would benefit millions, Biden is reminding voters of why they voted for him in the first place. Many people were unenthused about voting for him in 2020; he had neither the grassroots support of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont nor the newcomer’s advantage of Pete Buttigieg.
The progressive agenda that Biden’s White House touted was a sign that he knew younger voters weren’t going to accept “vote blue no matter who,” and he exemplified that on Day One by extending the pause on repaying student loans.

Even though the first attempt to forgive millions of borrowers was eventually overruled, the administration has continued to push forward and forgive loans for borrowers who meet specific criteria. Biden had already forgiven $138 billion of student loan debt prior
to Monday’s news.
The new initiative is a sign that Biden understands what will get people to the polls. If his team is smart, they’ll keep Biden’s student loan relief as a tenet of his 2024 campaign.

Chronic Inflammation = Cancer Metastases

Posted on April 11, 2024 by Ken
Metastases is the plural form of metastasis. Cancer.net – Search (bing.com)

Having Self Belief in his own research saved his life!!!
James McCraw was diagnosed with Stage IV Glioblastoma Multiforme, an aggressive brain cancer, after experiencing seizures 1. He underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, but only ½ of the tumor was removed, and he was given a prognosis of only 14 months to live 1. The tumor returned in December 2015, and James’s oncologist was thinking about
a new surgery and chemotherapy but decided to consult a specialist who decided to wait another three months before making a new resonance 2.  

Placebo Effect: Meaning, Examples, and Impact (verywellmind.com)
Your mind can be a powerful healing tool when given the chance. The idea that your brain can convince your body a fake treatment is the real thing — the so-called placebo effect — and thus stimulate healing has been around for millennia. Now science has found that under the right circumstances, a placebo can be just as effective as traditional treatments.
“The placebo effect is more than positive thinking — believing a treatment or procedure will work. It’s about creating a stronger connection between the brain and body and how they work together,” says Professor Ted Kaptchuk of Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, whose research focuses on the placebo effect.
Placebos won’t lower your cholesterol or shrink a tumor. Instead, placebos work on symptoms modulated by the brain, like the perception of pain. “Placebos may make you feel better, but they will not cure you,” says Kaptchuk. “They have been shown to be most effective for conditions like pain management, stress-related insomnia, and cancer treatment side effects like fatigue and nausea.”

Does the placebo effect mean failure or success?
For years, a placebo effect was considered a sign of failure. A placebo is used in clinical trials to test the effectiveness of treatments and is most often used in drug studies. For instance, people in one group get the actual drug, while the others receive an inactive drug, or placebo. The participants in the clinical trial don’t know if they receive the real thing or the placebo.
This way, the researchers can measure if the drug works by comparing how both groups react. If they both have the same reaction — improvement or not — the drug is deemed not to work. More recently, however, experts have concluded that reacting to a placebo is not proof that a certain treatment doesn’t work, but rather that another, non-pharmacological mechanism may be present.

How placebos work is still not quite understood, but it involves a complex neurobiological reaction that includes everything from increases in feel-good neurotransmitters, like endorphins and dopamine, to greater activity in certain brain regions linked to moods, emotional reactions, and self-awareness. All of it can have therapeutic benefits.
“The placebo effect is a way for your brain to tell the body what it needs to feel better,”
says Kaptchuk.

But placebos are not all about releasing brainpower. You also need the ritual of treatment. “When you look at these studies that compare drugs with placebos, there is the entire environmental and ritual factor at work,” says Kaptchuk. “You have to go to a clinic at certain times and be examined by medical professionals in white coats. You receive all kinds of exotic pills and undergo strange procedures. All this can have a profound impact on how the body perceives symptoms because you feel you are getting attention and care.”

Metastases most commonly develop when cancer cells break away from the main tumor and enter the body’s bloodstream or lymphatic system. These systems carry fluids around the body. 

Chemotherapy and radiation will reduce the tumor, but it will definitely cause it to metastasize. It may not be immediately, but it will make it metastasize with a vengeance eventually. Role of inflammation in cancer initiation – Search (bing.com)

Cancer stem cells as key drivers of tumour progression
Challengingly, conventional cancer treatments target the bulk of the tumor and are unable to target CSCs due to their highly resistance nature, leading to metastasis and tumor recurrence.

Conclusion
Given dynamic cellular events along the cancer progression and contributions of resistance nature by CSCs, understanding their molecular and cellular regulatory mechanism in a heterogeneous nature, provides a significant cornerstone for the development of CSC-specific therapeutics.

Cancer stem cells drive tumor progression – Search (bing.com)
Central to all cancers is inflammation and that the cell processes involved in inflammation not only are responsible for initiation of the cancer, but also persist during its growth and play a central role throughout every phase of the cancer’s existence, including progression, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis.
 
21 Foods That Can Save Your Heart (webmd.com)

Turmeric/Curcumin – I use 1-2 tablespoons of Turmeric. Turmeric/Curcumin will cross the Brain Barrier (BBB) . I was confused. From the number of people asking me I think I should try and clear it up now. Turmeric does not fight cancer. A part of turmeric called curcumin is the cancer fighter. There is only 3%-5% of curcumin in turmeric. I do not take capsules, I prefer Turmeric powder. Because I am indolent, I take 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric and a touch of black pepper is great for preventive measures or maintenance.

• If you have cancer, you need 8g-12g (8g = 3-2/3 teaspoons) of curcumin daily for 3 months
(that is all they tested it for and could not a problem: see GRAS in a later chapter) and a touch of black pepper to get it past the liver.

You cannot get there by taking Turmeric.
It does not matter whether you are using turmeric powder, Turmeric Capsules, Golden Paste or any other form. If you are fighting cancer the best way to do this is by taking curcumin power. If you are not fighting cancer, then you need much less. Then you can
use turmeric in capsules, Golden Paste, or whatever you use Turmeric in.

This is the Curcumin I am now taking. It has Curcumin, Black Seed Oil and Ginger.
Conversion for Curcumin – 8-12 grams of Curcumin if you are battling cancer. 8 grams = 16 capsules = about 4 teaspoons (Curcumin is 3-5% of Turmeric) it is the cancer fighter. You cannot do enough Turmeric to fight cancer.

James McCraw  replied to Lucy Pestana‘s comment: 
 “Lucy Pestana I am not to tell you what to do. You have to make that choice. I am telling you that I believe that chemotherapy leads to metastasis based on my research and a lot of doctors research. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25025713/ Abstract Since the first prospective identification of cancer stem cells in solid cancers the cancer stem cell hypothesis has reemerged as a research topic of increasing interest.

It postulates that solid cancers are organized hierarchically with a small number of cancer stem cells driving tumor growth, repopulation after injury and metastasis. They give rise to differentiated progeny, which lack these features. The model predicts that for any therapy to provide cure, all cancer stem cells have to be eliminated while the survival of differentiated progeny is less critical. In this review we discuss recent reports challenging the idea of a unidirectional differentiation of cancer cells.

These reports provide evidence supporting the idea that non-stem cancer cells exhibit
a remarkable degree of plasticity that allows them to re-acquire cancer stem cell traits, especially in the context of radiation therapy. We summarize conditions under which differentiation is reversed and discuss the current knowledge of the underlying mechanisms. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18030004/ 

Abstract Recently it is considered that there is a small population of cells with stem cell property not only in leukemia but also in solid cancer. These cells show the ability of self-renewal and multi-potential differentiation, and can initiate and maintain a tumor. The origin of cancer stem cells might be their normal stem cells, progenitor cells, or bone marrow-derived cells. It is still difficult to isolate cancer stem cells in solid cancer.

There are three possible methodologies to isolate or identify cancer stem cells; the use
of a surface marker, use of cells cultured in a specific condition (sphere), or the use of side population cells identified by FACS. The gold standard assay that fulfills the definition of cancer stem cell may be serial transplantation in animal models. Cancer stem cells are likely to be responsible for disease relapse or metastasis, and also for resistance to radiation or conventional chemotherapy.

The stem cell niche plays an important role in maintaining cancer stem cells. The novel promising therapies against cancer stem cells are considered, including antibody-based therapy, signal inhibitors, overcoming radiation and drug resistance, or differentiation therapy. Another interesting therapy targeting the niche may also be considered.

PubMed Disclaimer Cancer stem cells – PubMed (nih.gov) Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cells within tumors with capabilities of self-renewal, differentiation, and tumorigenicity when transplanted into an animal host. A number of cell surface markers such as CD44, CD24, and CD133 are often used to identify and enrich CSCs. A regulatory network consisting of microRNAs and Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and Hedgehog signaling pathways controls CSC properties.

The clinical relevance of CSCs has been strengthened by emerging evidence, demonstrating that CSCs are resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatment and that CSCs are very likely to be the origin of cancer metastasis. CSCs are believed to be an important target for novel anti-cancer drug discovery. Herein we summarize the current understanding of CSCs, with a focus on the role of miRNA and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and discuss the clinical application of targeting CSCs for cancer treatment.

Abstract Background Nowadays, we believe that cancer is a genetic disease. 

We focus on the genetic targets and epigenetic changes in a tumor. Remarkably, many crucial signal pathways in a malignant cell involve “stem-ness” genes. The prevalence of stem-ness in cancer suggests that cancer has a stem-cell origin and is a stem-cell disease. Presentation of the hypothesis The observation that many innate stem-ness properties are easily interchangeable with malignant hallmarks needs to be further elucidated.

There appears to be a malignant potential in every stem cell and a stem cell potential in every malignant cell. I hypothesize that cancer is a stem-cell disease rather than a genetic disease. Testing the hypothesis We will use homeobox genes to endow a certain progenitor cell with specific stem-ness properties and confer different stem-cell phenotypes to the particular cell type in a hierarchical manner.

We will demonstrate that an earlier homeobox gene plus a genetic defect (such as Pten loss) tend to form a more virulent tumor, while a later homeobox gene plus the same genetic defect tend to express a more indolent phenotype.
More Importantly, we will show that in clinically relevant cancer subtypes, those with worse clinical outcomes may paradoxically harbor fewer genetic mutations than those with better outcomes do.

Implications of the hypothesis The recognition that cancer is a stem-cell disease will instigate major paradigm shifts in our basic understanding of cancer. Many fundamental principles of oncology, such as multistep carcinogenesis, need to be reconciled. The realization that cancer is a stem-cell disease will also have profound clinical implications on personalized care. Many aspects of our current clinical trials need to be reevaluated.”

A Radical & Controversial Approach To STARVING CANCER:
The Two Root Causes | Dr. Thomas Seyfried (youtube.com)

Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) have recently been identified in several solid tumors,
including Brain, Breast, Colon, Head and Neck, Liver, Lung, Ovary, Pancreas, Prostate,
Melanoma, Multiple Myeloma, Non-melanoma skin cancer, Stomach.

The only way to be cancer free is by killing the Cancer Stem Cells.
The tumor has a small part that is called the Cancer Stem Cells (usually 1% – 5%), It is the target. Most Oncologists focus on the tumor. That is what they are taught by Big Pharma. It is not the Oncologist fault, they believe it. Oncologists think they are doing right because the chemotherapy and radiation shrinks the tumor. Chemotherapy and radiation causes the cancer to metastasize.
Do not worry about the tumor, the tumor is there to save your life. It is a container to keep the harmful stuff in. It is like Pandora’s Box. The tumor is not the problem. It is the Cancer Stem Cells that are the problem. Cancer Stem Cells are a small part of the tumor. Cancer Stem Cells are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. If you do the traditional cancer therapy (SOC), chemotherapy and radiation your cancer is coming back. It might not be immediately, but it will come back with a vengeance.

Local garlic will kill the Cancer Stem Cells if it is done properly. 
You must take a clove of local garlic, chop it up or grind it,
let it sit for 15 minutes before consuming it. 

Do not cook the garlic.
I was driving for Uber and didn’t want to smell like garlic.
I forgot the methods of taking garlic. The cancer came back. I refused to resume chemotherapy even though the Oncologist said I might die. The cancer went into remission. This was in 2014. I haven’t done chemotherapy since 2014.

Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle for Prevention and Treatment of Cancer by Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD (youtube.com)
Brilliant video where is the other part to the video talking about curcumin 
anyone knows please 🙏  OP 27 – Bharat B. Aggarwal (youtube.com)

James McCraw
Author Admin. From my book “Beating Cancer from the Grocery Store Revised”.
In 2012, MD Anderson launched a review of Aggarwal’s research after the federal government notified them of allegations of fraud by academic whistleblowers in as many as 65 of Aggarwal’s published papers, one of which had been retracted by the journal that published it.
Several more of Aggarwal’s publications were subsequently retracted after they were found to contain data images that had been reused and manipulated to represent different results.

Aggarwal resigned from his position at MD Anderson at the end of 2015.
By August 2016, eighteen research articles published by Aggarwal (in seven scientific journals) had been retracted.
I think the above ordeal was to discredit Doctor Aggarwal. The Cancer Industry (Big Pharma) is not going to sit back and let the Cancer Industry implode. There is a lot of money at stake and Aggarwal is telling people to watch their inflammation. He retired at the end of 2015. As of today, he is still fighting cancer and I am going 7 years in July 2020 being cancer free with a Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4 cancer.

Doctor Bharat B. Aggarwal PhD made a huge discovery when he was working at M.D. Anderson Cancer Clinic in Houston, Tx. He found out that most cancers were caused by inflammation. One would think that this discovery would be the end of cancer. Wrong, not so fast, this discovery was made in 2013-2014, it is now 2023 and Big Pharma is still trying to find a “cure” for cancer. What has happened since then? I think that the Cancer Industry which is worth a gazillion dollars tried to discredit Aggarwal for his findings and this led to the “war on cancer”.

The Cancer Industry is much stronger today than it was in 2014. He was big on Turmeric.
He found out that Curcumin which was 1-3% of Turmeric was the best cancer fighter around. Aggarwal explained that cancer is a chronic disease much like diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s. He reasoned that the only way to fight cancer is through an anti-inflammatory lifestyle. He was regarded as a “quack” by his peers.

He said Turmeric has been around since the 1700’s fighting diseases.
In India, where he is from, if you had any kind of injury, you would put Turmeric on it. Why didn’t anyone believe him? Aggarwal said it comes down to dollars and cents. Turmeric is very cheap and how could anyone make money on something that was so plentiful. Turmeric Curcumin Alzheimer in India – Search (bing.com)
Aggarwal also said that chemotherapy and radiation would make the cancer metastasize. People do not die of the original tumor, they died because the cancer metastasized. He said that around 50 years ago Paul Ehrlich was the first one to use chemotherapy on humans. He wanted to try it on rats first to see how much to use on humans. Aggarwal said that this was the first time that other animals were used to fight a human disease.

Doctor Bharat B. Aggarwal saved my life.
I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4, on July 22, 2013. My prognosis was 14 months. I haven’t done chemotherapy since May 5, 2014. If it wasn’t for the confidence given to me by Bharat, I would have done chemotherapy in December 2015 at my Oncologist suggestion. I refused. Beating Cancer | Facebook

Cancer Rates by Country 2024 (worldpopulationreview.com)
Cancer tends to be more prevalent in high-income countries due to lifestyle factors such
as smoking, obesity, and alcohol intake. Fortunately, these also tend to be countries with sound health care systems, which can better detect and treat cancer than the health-care systems in low-income countries. Moreover, advancements in medical knowledge and technology continue to improve each country’s cancer survival rate.
Although a decreasing percentage of cancer patients succumb to the disease, the total number of deaths from cancer continues to rise. This is often attributed to the fact that the world’s ever-growing population includes more senior citizens, whose cancer risk is highest, than ever before. Cancer rates are typically expressed as a crude rate or as an age-standardized rate, which adjusts for the fact that some countries’ populations are younger overall than others.

Unique solar eclipse photos, videos from space, wind, mountains and more
April 10, 2024   Arzu

By now, you’ve probably seen more than a few stunning pictures of Monday’s solar eclipse, a special treat even if you weren’t lucky enough to see it yourself from the path of totality. For some people, though, it wasn’t enough just to look up.
The overachievers among eclipse viewers flew through the air, skied down mountains and made use of their favorite snack cracker.  We’ve compiled a collection of amazing and unique views you may have missed.
Here they are, as seen from space, the ground and the air between. This composite image shows the progression of a partial solar eclipse over the Washington Monument, D.C.

Through a Cheez-It
If you were in the path of the April 8, 2024 solar eclipse, you likely had the chance to see a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical phenomenon in your neck of the woods. The sky turned dark as almost everyone under the shadowy ring of sun let out “oohs and aahs,” and even an applause break. 
While many people stocked up on special eclipse glasses — because I don’t know if you heard, but you are *not* supposed to look at the sun — some individuals opted for pinhole cameras. You could view the solar eclipse without glasses with a few pieces of paper, some aluminum foil and a small pinhole. 
According to “Astro Bob,” who appeared on a WDIO news segment, common kitchen items such as a colander or a paper bowl with sewing needle holes could be used to project crescent shapes on the ground. However, he also suggested using a Ritz cracker. Basically, many people across the Twitter/X and TikTok universes viewed this solar eclipse through little snacks, and we are totally obsessed. These solar eclipse crackers were the real winners of the day.

One Twitter/X user showcased their eclipse through the holes of a Club Cracker.
Just look at those delicious little crescent shapes. After all, why settle for one little moon when you can have 18?
Similarly, one user posted their partial eclipse through a Cheez-It cracker. From the original flavor all the way to bold Cheez-It Grooves, this cracker crafted the perfect pinhole. Plus, this post inspired others on Twitter/X to share how they used Cheez-Its, saltines, kitchen spoons, and beyond.
Of course, if you type in “eclipse crackers” on any social media page, you are sure to see viewers happily viewing the moon passing the sun through Ritz, saltines, and more. 
This method was ideal for anyone who loves a little bit of charcuterie with their solar eclipse. So, in case you’re already prepping for the next eclipse over the U.S. in 2044, remember to have some snacks on hand for a literally delicious viewing experience.

Many cancer patients that visit this blog tell me these are the type of post that take my mind of having cancer. SO, keep it up Ken. Also, I have an inquisitive mind that is always active. And the information in this post is the best that I have found to explain Einstein Theory of Relativity E=mc².

But is it possible to see back to the beginning of time?
The Big Bang is a term used to define the beginning of our universe as we know it. Scientists believe it occurred about 13.8 billion years ago. It is the most widely accepted theory among physicists to explain the history of our universe. The name of his theory is
a bit misleading, however, because it suggests that some sort of explosion, like fireworks, created the universe.

The Big Bang more closely represents the appearance of rapidly expanding space everywhere in the universe. The environment immediately after the Big Bang was similar to a cosmic fog that covered the universe, making it hard for light to travel beyond it. Eventually, galaxies, stars and planets started to grow.

That’s why this era in the universe is called the “cosmic dark ages.” As the universe continued to expand, the cosmic fog began to rise, and light was eventually able to travel freely through space. In fact, a few satellites have observed the light left by the Big Bang, about 380,000 years after it occurred. These telescopes were built to detect the splotchy leftover glow from the Big Bang, whose light can be tracked in the microwave band.
However, even 380,000 years after the Big Bang, there were no stars and galaxies.
The universe was still a very dark place. The cosmic dark ages wouldn’t end until
a few hundred million years later, when the first stars and galaxies began to form.

The James Webb Space Telescope was not designed to observe as far back as the Big Bang, but instead to see the period when the first objects in the universe began to form and emit light. Before this time period, there is little light for the James Webb Space Telescope to observe, given the conditions of the early universe and the lack of galaxies and stars.
Peering back to the time period close to the Big Bang is not simply a matter of having
a larger mirror – astronomers have already done it using other satellites that observe microwave emission from very soon after the Big Bang.
So, the James Webb Space Telescope observing the universe a few hundred million years after the Big Bang isn’t a limitation of the telescope. Rather, that’s actually the telescope’s mission. It’s a reflection of where in the universe we expect the first light from stars and galaxies to emerge.

By studying ancient galaxies, scientists hope to understand the unique conditions of the early universe and gain insight into the processes that helped them flourish. That includes the evolution of supermassive black holes, the life cycle of stars, and what exoplanets – worlds beyond our solar system – are made of.

Astronomers are pretty sure what happened after the Big Bang,
but what came before? 

What are the leading theories for the causes of the Big Bang?

About 13.8 billion years ago the Universe started with a bang, kicked the doors in,
brought fancy cheeses and a bag of ice, spiked the punch bowl and invited the new
neighbors over for all-nighter to encompass all all-nighters from that point forward.

But what happened before that?

What was going on before the Big Bang? 

Usually, we tell the story of the Universe by starting at the Big Bang and then talking
about what happened after. Similarly and completely opposite to how astronomers view the Universe… by standing in the present and looking backwards. From here, the furthest we can look back is to the cosmic microwave background, which is about 380,000 years after the big bang.
Before that we couldn’t hope to see a thing, the Universe was just too hot and dense to be transparent. Like pea soup. Soup made of delicious face burning high energy everything. 
In traditional stupid earth-bound no-Tardis life in an unsatisfactory fashion, we can’t actually observe the origin of the Universe from our place in time and space.
Fortunately, the thinky types have come up with some ideas, and they’re all one part crazy, one part mind bendy, and 100% bananas. The first idea is that it all began as a kind of quantum fluctuation that inflated to our present universe.

Something very, very subtle expanding over time resulting in, as an accidental byproduct, our existence. The alternate idea is that our universe began within a black hole of an older universe.

I’m gonna let you think about that one. Just let your brain simmer there.
There was a universe “here”, that isn’t our universe, then that universe became a
black hole… and from that black hole formed us and EVERYTHING around us.
Literally, everything around us. In every direction we look, and even the stuff
we just assume to be out there.
Here’s another one. We see particles popping into existence here in our Universe.
What if, after an immense amount of time, a whole Universe’s worth of particles all popped into existence at the same time. Seriously… an immense amount of time,
with lots and lots of “almost” universes that didn’t make the cut.

More recently, the BICEP2 team observed what may be evidence of inflation in
the early Universe. Like any claim of this gravity, the result is hotly debated.
If the idea of inflation is correct, it is possible that our universe is part of a much larger multiverse. And the most popular form would produce a kind of eternal inflation, where universes are springing up all the time. Ours would just happen to be one of them.

It is also possible that asking what came before the big bang is much like asking what is north of the North Pole. What looks like a beginning in need of a cause may just be due to our own perspective. We like to think of effects always having a cause, but the Universe might be an exception. The Universe might simply be. Because.

The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST for short, is one of the most advanced telescopes ever built. Planning for JWST began over 25 years ago, and construction efforts spanned over a decade. It was launched into space on Dec. 25, 2021, and within a month arrived at its final destination: 930,000 miles away from Earth. Its location in space allows it a relatively unobstructed view of the universe.

The telescope design was a global effort, led by NASA, and intended to push the boundaries of astronomical observation with revolutionary engineering. Its mirror is massive – about 21 feet (6.5 meters) in diameter. That’s nearly three times the size of
the Hubble Space Telescope, which launched in 1990 and is still working today.
 
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. Its high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments allow it to view objects
too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope.
This enables investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology,
such as observation of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies,
and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.

It’s a telescope’s mirror that allows it to collect light. JWST – Search Videos (bing.com) 
is so big that it can “see” the faintest and farthest galaxies and stars in the universe.
Its state-of-the-art instruments can reveal information about the composition,
temperature and motion of these distant cosmic objects.

As an astrophysicist, I’m continually looking back in time to see what stars, galaxies and supermassive black holes looked like when their light began its journey toward Earth, and I’m using that information to better understand their growth and evolution. For me, and for thousands of space scientists, the James Webb Space Telescope is a window to that unknown universe.

Time travel: Just how far back can JWST peer into the cosmos and into the past?
About 13.5 billion years.  A telescope does not show stars, galaxies and exoplanets
as they are right now.

Instead, astronomers are catching a glimpse of how they were in the past.
It takes time for light to travel across space and reach our telescopes.
In essence, that means a look into space is also a trip back in time.

from Earth. NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI

This is even true for objects that are quite close to us.
The light you see from the Sun left it about 8 minutes, 20 seconds earlier.
That’s how long it takes for the Sun’s light to travel to Earth.

You can easily do the math on this. 
All light – whether sunlight, a flashlight or a light bulb in your house – travels at 186,000 miles (almost 300,000 kilometers) per second. That’s just over 11 million miles (about 18 million kilometers) per minute. The Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth. That comes out to about 8 minutes, 20 seconds.

Related video: Uranus In 4K – James Webb Space Telescope Sees The Planet,
Rings And Moons (Space) – Search Videos (bing.com)

But the farther away something is, the longer its light takes to reach us. That’s why the light we see from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to us aside from our Sun, is 4 years old; that is, it’s about 25 trillion miles (approximately 40 trillion kilometers) away from Earth, so that light takes just over four years to reach us. Or, as scientists like to say, four light years. 

Most recently, JWST observed Earendel, one of the farthest stars ever detected.
The light that JWST sees from Earendel is about 12.9 billion years old. 
The James Webb Space Telescope is looking much farther back in time than
previously possible with other telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
For example, although Hubble can see objects 60,000 times fainter than the human
eye is able, the JWST can see objects almost nine times fainter than even Hubble can.

How can they predict this years in advance but not find a cure for cancer?

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)— Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed Executive Order 2024-04D 
to assure Ohioans the state is well-prepared for the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, that will cross a 124-mile-wide band in the state of Ohio.
“The safety and well-being of Ohioans is always at the forefront of everything we do,”
said Governor DeWine. “We have been preparing for the April 8th solar eclipse for
several years to ensure this once-in-a-lifetime event can be safe and memorable for all.”

The Executive Order directs all State departments and agencies to be ready and prepared to ensure the health and safety of all Ohioans and visitors before, during, and after the eclipse. Ohio Emergency Management Agency (Ohio EMA) is coordinating the state’s preparation and response to the event, and all law enforcement agencies are prepared to respond with necessary personnel and resources to assist local law enforcement in contributing to the safety and security of Ohio residents and tourists.
Only 21 total solar eclipses have crossed the lower 48 states during the existence of the United States of America. The last total solar eclipse visible in Ohio was in 1806, and the next total solar eclipse will not pass through Ohio until the year 2099.  

You won’t see a full solar eclipse in Ohio for 75 years – Search Videos (bing.com)
When the moon’s shadow races across Earth on April 8 during the total solar eclipse,
it will travel faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound varies depending on the temperature of the air through which the sound moves. On Earth, the speed of sound at sea level — assuming an air temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) —
is 761.2 mph (1,225 km/h). 

Because gas molecules move more slowly at colder temperatures,
that slows the speed of sound; sound moves faster through warmer air.
Therefore, the speed required to break the sound barrier decreases higher
in the atmosphere, where temperatures are colder. 

It will sweep across Earth at more than 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) per hour
on April 8, according to NASA. However, exactly how fast it will move will depend
on where you are viewing it from.  What is the speed of light? (msn.com)

UNDERSTANDING THE MOON’S SHADOW
Private Japanese Moon Lander’s View Of Solar Eclipse Shadow And Earth | Watch (msn.com)
The width of the umbra (the path of totality) and the penumbra (the partial eclipse zone) depend on the moon’s distance from Earth during the eclipse. This also affects the speed
at which the shadow moves, as does the rotational speed of the moon and the Earth. The moon is orbiting Earth from west to east, the same way Earth rotates, but the moon moves more quickly. 

The penumbral and umbral shadows of the moon are projected as a path because Earth rotates under the faster-moving shadow of the moon. So, although the moon’s shadow moves across Earth very quickly during an eclipse, it’s counteracted by the Earth’s rotational speed. 
A solar eclipse occurs on Earth when a new moon blocks at least part of the sun, as seen from Earth. All solar eclipses project a large fuzzy shadow onto Earth called the penumbra. From within it, observers see a partial solar eclipse, watching the moon gradually block some of the sun before gradually moving away. 

Only during a total solar eclipse, when the moon blocks all of the sun, does a smaller, darker conical shadow called the umbra project onto Earth. This is the path of totality, and from within it, observers see partial phases on either side of a total solar eclipse.

WHY IT SLOWS DOWN AND SPEEDS UP
Although the moon’s shadow would move even more quickly across the planet if it weren’t rotating, on April 8, that shadow will still move exceptionally fast. However, it won’t travel at a consistent speed. 

“The moon’s shadow will travel slowest at the point of greatest eclipse near the town of Nazas, Mexico, where the duration is longest and also where the shadow speed is the lowest,” said Michael Zeiler, eclipse cartographer at GreatAmericanEclipse.com.
“As the shadow progresses across North America, the shadow speed increases because the oblique angle of the shadow on a curved Earth results in a higher ground speed.” 
For example, at 11:37 UT on April 8, the event will begin as an eclipsed sunrise in the Pacific Ocean, during which the moon’s shadow will be traveling at a whopping 10,439,792 mph (16,801,217 kph), according to eclipse expert Xavier Jubier’s Interactive Google Map  of the eclipse.
As it ends as an eclipsed sunset in the Atlantic, it will be traveling at 5,535,176 mph (8,908,002 kph). However, close to Nazas, Mexico — the point of the greatest eclipse where the centers of the sun, moon, and Earth are in perfect synergy (alignment) — it will be moving at a pedestrian 1,565 mph (2,519 kph). The shadow will slow down to that point and speed up after, so as the moon’s shadow enters the U.S. in Texas, it will speed up slightly to 1,597 mph (2,570 kph). It will then pick up pace across the U.S. and, as it leaves Newfoundland in Canada for the Atlantic, it will be moving at 4,727 mph (7,607 kph).

April’s total solar eclipse will travel at speeds ranging from 10 million miles an hour —
half the speed of the fastest supernova explosion ever detected — to as slow as 1,565 mph, about twice the speed of a supersonic aircraft. Just ensure you’re inside the path of totality to stand beneath it! Totality Views Of Solar Eclipse From Mexico | Watch (msn.com)

And then it was over: 
A total eclipse of the sun has come and gone.

EAGLE PASS, Texas − In a moment of cosmic alignment that was precisely predicted
yet undeniably mysterious, the moon crept across the face of the sun as seen from Earth, casting its shadow onto the United States on Monday.
 The partial shadow crossed into the U.S. in Texas just after noon local time, and a bit more than an hour later, the minutes of “totality” began. The total eclipse of the sun then traced a path from southern Texas to northern Maine, where it exited into Canada and the ocean beyond.

The rare event was an astronomical experience like no other. Monday’s eclipse was unusually accessible to millions of people. It was widely anticipated not only for its remarkable period of darkness, but for its rare timing: No total solar eclipse would be visible from the contiguous United States again until 2044. While millions of Americans may have seen today’s eclipse, a small group in Texas was among the very first.

Clouds came and went as the shadow grew for the next hour.
As totality approached Eagle Pass, the sky shaded a dull gray then a heavy
brown and the temperature dropped a few degrees. Only a sliver of the sun remained.
A few seconds before 1:27 p.m. CT, the crowd counted down, “3… 2…1…” The sun was gone, completely covered by the moon. Darkness spread over the small airport grounds.

“Oh my god,” Martinez said, a hand covering her heart.
“This is so cool!”  https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/
* After having seen it, the eclipse absolutely lived up to the hype:
Total solar eclipse 2024 highlights: Live coverage, videos and more (nbcnews.com)

“A total solar eclipse — nicknamed the Great North American Eclipse for its long path
over North America — was visible in the sky today over parts of Mexico, 15 U.S. states
and eastern Canada. Tens of millions of people were treated to stunning views as the
moon passed between Earth and the sun and temporarily blocked the sun’s light.” 

What was the timeline of the 2024 solar eclipse?

image.png

The total eclipse began in Mexico at about 11:07 a.m. PDT,
Monday before crossing into Texas at 1:27 p.m. CDT. 

It ended in Maine at 3:35 p.m. EDT. Even those who weren’t
in the path of totality could see a percentage of the eclipse.

Fallen into the Rabbit Hole

Posted on April 7, 2024 by Ken
 Zoraya ter Beek, 28, will die by assisted suicide in May. RTL Nieuws – Search (bing.com)

I fell into the Rabbit Hole myself late 2005 into 2006.
When My Father died of Leiomyosarcoma on April 3, 2006, after his 14 years
of battling various types of cancer and the final battle with Leiomyosarcoma.
My Severe Depression is best described as following into a Dark Rabbit Hole and when you finally feel like you have climbed out of it. You fall deeper back into it and best to say until I finally changed my mindset I finally conquered this selfish state of mind. Cancer
in the family really does change you in the beginning, in the midst and in the aftermath. 

 Ter Beek, who once aspired to be a psychiatrist, has been dealing with mental health struggles throughout her life. Therefore, This is simply sickening.
That someone will help with an assisted suicide and it’s wrong! It’s murder. 😭 no different than someone overdosing on pills because they want the escape from depression, etc.
But why shouldn’t someone be able to choose when they want to die? I’d rather be able to choose than have it happen after a long period of pain and suffering when the chances of getting “better” are slim to none. 

Stephanie Breithe Cara Byers
I’ve heard the stories of people suffering day after day without any relief, who are actively seeking to obtain a medically assisted end of life. It’s heartbreaking. And I hold a lot more grace and nuance for them in their choice than I used to. Nobody makes this choice lightly or just because. It’s excruciating. They are the ones who have to live every day in their bodies. Nobody else does. It can be an ethical choice for a few. And it’s actually really hard to get approved for this medically. Very, very few see it through. It’s sometimes just the control over their own lives they need, just knowing they have the option if they choose. Until we have walked in their shoes, we really have no clue. 

Reserve judgment for those who do harm to others.

Nikki Marie
We don’t know her life-long medical history from an article written, only what little was published. We don’t know how many doctors she’s seen, how many different medications she’s tried, if she’s changed her diet, if she’s prayed it away everyday, etc. All a lot of you are gathering is “she’s giving up”, “she didn’t try hard enough”, “she should get another opinion”, “she should turn it to Jesus”
I actually am for assisted in-a living. I wish it were legal everywhere in the US so the medical community would stop bleeding people dry when ill and let them gracefully bow out if they wish. The Netherlands saved 8000+ families from possible financial loss, loss
of quality of life, mental health issues due to health problems, etc…the American medical community would have drug those 8000+ families thru the mud financially, given them meds that break down their bodies more rapidly, cause all kinds of mental health decline, etc.
I worked in healthcare for 12 years. Worked closely with hospice patients in both hospital and nursing home settings. Held numerous hands of people that their families never visited, wiped tears away from scared, lonely humans that were dying, consoled patients
in so much pain they couldn’t move, watched mental health documentaries. After suicide 
I’d like to think some of those people would have liked to have had a different choice. 
I’d much rather choose to die with dignity, assisted rather than scared and alone because
I didn’t have the option.

Patricia McMahon Guy
I have battled crippling episodes of depression and anxiety multiple times in my life and
if this option had been available then I would not be here today. I am grateful that this was not an option and that I am still alive and if I get sick again, I truly hope that this would not be a solution that was offered to me. You’re right though …. the provision for mental health is diabolical…drugs, drugs and more drugs that only serve to compound the problem.
I thank God that I came to a saving faith 3 years ago and although I have battled with suicidal depression since then I j ow that the Lord has seen me through these anguished times. I pray that He will do the same for you Christine 🙏🙏🙏

The only time I believe in assisted you know….is when someone is terminal, and they
are starting to really go downhill so it is obviously a correct diagnosis. That is death with dignity and not in awful pain. For mental health, it is no different than making you know attempt. 
I have clinical depression and anxiety and it is hard to treat because some of it stems from brain trauma from having bacterial meningitis at 18 months old, I have always had it to some degree, so I say this with experience.

Because you have precious children who will have a lifetime of even worse pain if
they lose their mother. Life can be very painful. But our children shouldn’t suffer more pain for our comfort or escape from pain. I know people who had family members commit suicide, they’re still suffering, even years or in some cases, decades later.
It isn’t just about pain. It is not wanted to have to be in a diaper and have someone
change it. It is not wanting family to see them deteriorating, wanting them to remember them somewhat healthy. I wouldn’t do it, but I have seen people in that place and can understand why they would want to.

I’m not talking about the old. 
I’m talking about people with terminal illnesses that are showing signs of the end and know their diagnosis is real. When it comes to the elderly there are other things. For instance my grandfather has Alzheimer’s and needed his pacemaker removed and it was decided to just let his time run out as he was already in his mid 80s, and that is different. People with terminal illnesses are so many times able to state their desires and make decisions before it gets to that point.

It should always be an individual’s personal decision.
I’ve seen someone recover from stage 4 terminal cancer who was only given 2-6 months to live. God forbid they took the assisted suicide route and let their bodies deteriorate rather than fight the battle with things known to starve cancer cells and at least give their life a shot. The problem with ever choosing any form of assisted s****** is that it’s taking the will of God out of His hands and into your own. Perhaps the person may die a slow miserable death but they may experience revelations of who He is during that time and have a final lesson in this journey of life. 

To cut that short is to possibly miss that opportunity (to even be saved). Yes, someone should be given some comfort meds if they truly are at the end of life but i’ll never agree with taking a lethal dose of anything because miracles take place every day– including for people suffering mental illness and major health issues.
I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it. It saddens me that people take that route and could possibly miss out on something miraculous or beautiful… which life and death both truly are… naturally speaking.

Why, sometimes mental illness can be related to a deficiency in a certain vitamin like
B vitamins, personally I’d increase my b vitamins before getting euthanized. M.t.h.f.r mutations are so common and many lack those necessary b vitamins. Not only that, but thanks to our deficient soils we are mineral deficient in general and are suffering from mental health issues due to gut disruptions in pesticides/herbicides/ antibiotics, I would address your gut health for anything mental health/depression/mood disorder related. You would be surprised what a huge difference it makes.

The allopathic system can’t and won’t help you, all they know how to do is poison your body with pHARMaceuticals. Mental health problems typically stem from an unhealthy gut biome. Have you tried changing your diet? You might find adding in fermented foods that have been fermented using natural traditional methods help.

 I’d change my diet and I feel better, I also have increased my B1 intake which actually opens up the receptors in your brain that make you happy. So yeah there’s lots of shit
like trying walking around barefoot in your yard before going to a dr sometimes being grounded by the earth can actually help to and organic and gluten-free help to so yeah
so much more to do before killing yourself there’s a lot more to do drs can’t help with everything. All illness is that of deficiency or toxicity!!!!

Jason Hommel  ·  in 2014, I was having nearly constant suicidal thoughts.
It declined with my first drop of iodine. Other minerals and vitamins greatly help,

I think it’s really sad because there is healing… healing is possible, and she didn’t have to die.

This is so sad to see. Life is such a precious gift, there is so much to do here. There are other methods of healing that are not mainstream that could help. Clearing blockages, bioenergetic testing, diet, support groups, etc… life is very hard, I know it’s hard, but you are here for a reason, there is no way to replace you and the impact you have now and the impact you will have in the future. The electrification of the earth will increase episodes of depression

It’s sad they say she’s ‘physically healthy’, because she’s not.
I’ve come to believe most of what we label ‘mental illness’ is actually physical and can be treated. We live in a very toxic world that is impairing the body’s ability to function properly, as the brain, immune, endocrine and digestive systems, in particular, are malfunctioning due to heavy metals, household chemicals, glyphosate, parasites, plastics, etc. Dr Kelly Brogan has helped many people get free. Own Yourself: The Surprising Path beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom: Brogan M.D., Kelly: 9781401956851: Amazon.com: Books

A lot of nutrients help to rebalance brain chemistry too. Many people are deficient in
a lot of nutrients so it makes it very difficult for their brains and bodies to manage stress.

I know people that have taken their lives, they no longer suffer but they will no longer see their kids, family, friends. We all grieve the loss, their pain & suffering and will always bear the guilt that why couldn’t we have helped, No one should suffer and be in pain. 💔😭💔

My soul hurts for all that I do. BUT….
I also know people whom if they had this choice would have in a heartbeat said yes to assisted suicide
Whom luckily didn’t have this choice and thankfully never went through with the alternative even though they tried/wanted too
And now the storm has passed, things look brighter
And they are living a more normal happy life
I love the saying
“If you don’t like your life move!
You are not a tree”
A move can be everything
Yes not always easy
But do something to change your pattern routine
That put you where you are now
They say one can not heal when they become sick
Fresh air, sunshine, back to nature, clean water,
lots of fresh fruit and salads,
lightly steamed veg only if you must cook!

Back to basics, back to nature, & back to real live foods
Life is so worth living
In making this decision there is no chance to see the day when she feels better
It’s devastatingly sad that anyone feels this way
I’m so sorry you too feel this way Christine Berg
Do you have family & friends support?
Unfortunately the system’s way of helping is awful.
Can you get away camping, back to nature, eating just raw whole foods as much fruit & veg as you like when you like and lots of clean water, herbal teas, Fresh air, sun & and having time away from your daily routine.

I’m not a doctor, but I do think in some cases that anyone impacted like this should try
to self study this, and some more. It takes a few weeks to to change things, and if it works,
then that’s a start to resolve it long term: gut microbiome mental health – YouTube

Thoughts? She doesn’t want to suffer anymore.
She sought out help, she didn’t get it, and she’s tired. She wants to rest. I feel her pain more than I can put into words. 😓 I’ve been trying to get psych treatment for three years to NO avail and I am declining more and more each day that passes. I’d consider this if it were an option (IF I didn’t have children). Not because it’s what I’d “want” but because
I’m tired and I can’t find anyone to help. Nobody. Nobody cares… they never do.

I understand and it isn’t a choice I would make.
However, if someone has met very particular criteria and is mentally competent and makes the choice on their own then so be it. We have had it for awhile in Oregon and it doesn’t happen a lot really. While I wouldn’t make that choice. I can understand why someone might want to.

Scripture says judge not lest ye be judged by the same measure. You’re referencing a concept in scripture sorely out of context which I understand but can truly be dangerous. Do you really think Jesus would stand next to her and encourage her to take her own life (with help) and say “go ahead – I don’t judge you” or do you think He would take her into His arms and rescue her from the demonic forces that plague her? I’ve been there. I know what He’d do. He rescued me. And He can do the same for you and could have done the same for her. Satan is a liar and a crafty one. But the Lord is victorious and merciful. And He has already defeated that conniving snake in the grass.

I know sooo many people who have been deep, deep in depression, and even suicidal with multiple failed attempts and have grown and healed past that season in their life and now are incredible happy people with families who love them etc. this just seems heartbreaking… like giving up because you can’t possibly see anything better in the future but that’s what depression does in the moment … seems like a very permanent decision for what could be a “blip” for lack of a better word… in an incredible life when she heals … so hard!

Absolutely. I mean, if God exists, he would be whispering that in her ear to help her not
do it, but it’s going to happen if she wants it to. There’s no stopping someone from doing something they have their mind set on. There’s no wrong way to interfere with God’s will or messages.

She has a choice but that is of her own free will. If Jesus were standing next to her,
He’d do everything he could to stop her. God’s will does not include suicide. Ever.
I hope you don’t believe that for yourself. But from your other comments, I have a bad feeling you’re struggling with demonic forces trying to convince you that what you say is true. It’s absolutely not.
And Jesus loves you. Died for you. And declares victory over your demons and struggles. You are free in Him if you choose to be.
I’ll be praying hard for you. Because I absolutely know what the everyday battle is like.
It’s exhausting but I promise there is life abundant in Christ. 🤍😭

Revelation 20:12-15
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Death- not hell- they die and don’t have an eternal life with God.)

God does judge others lol at least the one in the Bible does and Torah. 
He is the judge and He will send ppl to hell. He tells us not to judge because we are
not the judge, however, we are able to correct and call out sin in love of fellow believers and should call sin sin, can we not just agree to disagree? This is inevitably a debatable topic in this world. Everyone suffers with depression differently, and some of us have massively different opinions. We have to respect each other’s opinions because it’s how people feel. That’s the way it is, it’s not going to change no matter how we disagree with each other.

From what we read in the Bible, we know that committing suicide is a sin.
God calls murder sin (Exodus 20:13) and committing suicide is essentially murdering yourself.
Suicide also dishonors the gift of life that is given by God and bought at a price
(1 Corinthians 6:20).
And yet, in the Bible, we still see some people thinking about ending their own lives.
When Elijah was fleeing from Jezebel, he was overwhelmed by the journey and prayed
that he might die (1 Kings 19:4).
Jonah asked God to take away his life, he was angry towards God’s compassion for the Ninevites (Jonah 4:3).
The apostle Paul described his afflictions to be so great that they caused him to be “despaired of life itself” (2 Corinthians 1:8).
Reading these accounts informs us that the Word of God is not indifferent or ignorant towards those who are struggling with the deepest pain, sorrow, anguish and who are in despair.
It shows us that God can still meet and lead His people in these struggles of life and death.
God comforted and provided for Elijah, and later recommissioned him (1 Kings 19).
God rebuked Jonah and explained His heart for the people in Nineveh (Jonah 4).
And God also taught Paul to rely not on himself but on Him (2 Corinthians 1).

The message is clear: there is hope.
We don’t have to come to the point of ending our own lives.
We simply need to trust God and hold on to Him.
I can only imagine the strong feelings and reaction you’re having here is born from some kind of pain. Yes, people have their free will but that doesn’t make this okay. We call one unloving oneself tragic in every other instance. We mourn and cry. Yet someone assisting someone else in unloving themselves is being defended and that’s even worse.

Boniface Mutunga MuliStephanie Breithe Cara Byers madam there’s even a deeper danger that you don’t see yet⁉️ it’s the hand of the devil trying to kill people easily; and yes we’ve been there too and we prayed and The Lord Got us out of it; suicide whether assisted or individually done is basically a straight ticket to hell and you don’t wanna get there you’d rather stay alive because on the other side there’s no way out or change of mind…AND I NEED YOU TO CHECK THE STATISTICS; MAJORITY OF THEM TRYING THIS ARE NOT BORN AGAIN; FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SPEAKING WITH OTHER TONGUES‼️AND WATCH OUT, IF ANY OF THEM WITH THIS QUALIFICATIONS EVER GET THERE THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT LIVING A PRAYERFUL LIFE OR THEY HAVE NO PRAYER PARTNERS…‼️

Loving Life is the only treatment necessary. When one’s life is completely devoid of love, and no one cares, when we finally look to God and surrender to Him and His undying love, grace, peace, justice and mercy, we realize that the Kingdom of God is within us and therefore we are never alone. Discernment is a gift. And love becomes not a choice,
but a Presence and a part of consciousness we can all choose to dwell within.
Don’t give up, give in to the Love of God that was with you all along. 💝
Why do you defend euthanizing? I mean we have free will but everything has a consequence and going against the gift of life is something that will affect the soul
in the afterlife. I don’t know why you attacked me but Talk to the hand because
I won’t participate in your negative nelly attitude. 

👋🏼 BTW it’s a rhetorical question, it’s not meant for you to answer bc I won’t read it.
And yes, I’ve had lows, but God Saved Me. 🙏🏼
I’m sorry that my rescue story was so upsetting to you, but I tell it because it’s my testimony, it’s my personal experience with Jesus. And I know that He can save ANYONE should they choose to call His name and ask for help. You’re right, that’s a bold statement. But it’s still true.

God Bless you and yours. 🤍
