Montana’s legislative assembly recently faced a contentious vote regarding a proposal that sought to authorize state investments in Bitcoin as part of its cryptocurrency asset reserves
I just posted a question about this. Any chance you can share some insight into this out of your own experience? I'm trying to figure out what is good to hold on the Hive blockchain and for what reasons.
Well I hold lots of things, but as far as "good" to hold..I am not really sure. 😀
Sort of my order
LEO
HIVE - most of which I will delegate to @leo.voter for the return in LEO 😀
HBD
After that, I don't know.
I like CENT because there are so many pools where you can earn a pretty good return.
Some of the income tokens seem good, but I have not really delved into them yet.
My problem before has been chasing rabbits, so part of my goals this year are to laser focus on LEO/HIVE/HBD and build something that can help me transition to my "retirement" years (though I doubt I will actually retire).
I also want to put more of my day to day financial activities on HIVE and get to the point where the blockchain becomes my bank.
Those are good goals, thank you for your insight, I believe I'm on the right path as I also feel I should focus more on Leo/Hive/HBD.
I'm sure you'll be able to retire, you just won't want to, I mean, it's better to be active right?
Been working hard. Time to shift focus a bit and work on something else hard for a bit. I will not stop building $LEO though, just going to be a wee bit slower.
but for real man you're an absolute legend. Because setting goals is one thing, but putting in the work to do it shows real strength so big congratulations 💪🔥
Not really sure yet. I am currently doing some calculations. I think I am going to try and keep my total $HIVE and $LEO about the same total value. I think that will make my goal about 70,000 HIVE.
I will probably lean toward having more HIVE because I can delegate it to @leo.voter and get more LEO!!

Exploring the Haunting of Selma Mansion: An Investigation Recap
Introduction
In the latest episode of "After the Dead," hosted by Katrina Weidman, the team visits Selma Mansion in Norristown, Pennsylvania, an intriguing historical property recognized for its haunted reputation. This article recaps the key experiences and findings shared during their investigation, along with the general historical context surrounding the mansion.
Selma Mansion, situated just outside of Philadelphia, possesses a rich history tied to several significant events and wars over the years. While many are aware of its historical significance, it's the rumored hauntings that draw in visitors and paranormal enthusiasts alike. This investigation marks a return for Weidman, who experienced something unusual during a previous photo shoot, while Heather, her co-host, was visiting for the first time.
Upon entering the Selma Mansion, both Weidman and Heather began to feel unexpected cold breezes, despite the summer heat. This chilling sensation occurred in various locations throughout the house, with Heather noting how the sensation mirrored feelings reported by previous visitors. The investigators emphasized the absence of air conditioning and ruled out drafts from the windows as potential explanations, as they had turned off any noise-producing equipment during their investigation.
The episode introduced Michelle, who conducts psychic readings. She usually connects to someone on set to guide her on the paranormal aspects of the locations they visit. For this investigation, as Heather and Weidman wanted it kept a secret, Michelle had difficulty tuning into Heather but still managed to produce sketches and readings that remarkably resembled Selma Mansion's attributes. This aspect of the investigation sparked a conversation on the combination of techniques used by Michelle, which included remote viewing and psychometry.
During the investigation, Heather noted hearing unexplained noises, including knocks and footsteps while in isolation. Though some sounds were attributable to crew members accidentally entering the scene, Heather felt that another layer of activity persisted that couldn't be explained. As they analyzed their recordings, they discovered various electronic voice phenomena (EVP), including a potential response from a spirit identifying itself as the "lady of the house."
Revisiting her initial experience from a prior visit, Weidman shared how she had heard a woman’s breath beside her while alone on the third floor, accentuating the mansion’s reputation for ghostly encounters. The location's history reportedly includes encounters with children and unease associated with a basement vault, where previous volunteers sensed negative energy. The episode illuminated how the mansion's past could intertwine with modern experiences, leading to complex paranormal activity.
The Nature of Paranormal Investigations on Television
Throughout the discussion, Weidman and Heather reflected on the experience of conducting investigations for television. They both acknowledged an inherent duality to their experiences—blending the duties of investigators with the requirement for engaging storytelling in a televised format. Despite certain restrictions and expectations, they revealed an appreciation for being able to explore investigations deeply and authentically while still documenting their findings.
In closing, Weidman refrained from declaring Selma Mansion definitively haunted or not. Instead, she suggested that the place remains a mystery worth revisiting, as the personal experiences reported by various visitors, including her own, contribute to a compelling narrative. The investigation collectively left room for interpretation, hinting at the layers of history and potential hauntings that could be further explored in future visits. Ultimately, the episode serves as an invitation for viewers to engage with the mysteries that Selma Mansion—and similar historical properties—pose to those inquisitive about the paranormal.

If I had the funds I would have bought the day after it lauched. I saw some great response around the $0.59 (or just around there).. unfortunately I couldn't decide what other crypto to sell for it, and my fiat was close to none 😂
OMFG!!! I finally have a working Wordpress login/register plugin that lets you sign in with Hive Keychain!!! And it works!!!
This is seriously something I have been wanting to build for like 5 years now and finally have it right!
I think I am going to start working on a set of Wordpress tools for Hive and take up where the Exxp/Steempress guys left off and never did right in the first place!
I might actually make a proposal to the DHF for development.
Would you vote for a proposal to build a suite of Hive tools for Wordpress?
Oh no! @caspermoeller89, you are out of DUO! Go acquire more Stake to increase your DUO standings. (We will not send this error message for 24 hours).Learn all about DUO here.
Yeah, I couldn't ever find anyone else that would help me build it, so I just had to learn, lol. It's helped my up my Wordpress game for sure. But AI only help that much more when I can get it to help me fix bugs and optimize, but I feel like you still need to know the base level code to be able to direct it properly.
On that note, Grok is a way better developer than ChatGPT, at least on the free side of things, lol. I am too cheap to pay for either, haha, so I bounce back and forth based on my limits, lol.
Considering selling them on the Hivelist store as a download. Probably will do by the plugin and as a bundle. If I do it that way, I will not worry about a DHF proposal, because honestly I don't think it would get funded because I am not part of the club, lol.
No, I am certainly not in it, lol. So I think that selling them for a few HBD per plugin and a bundle price would work. I am considering a Hive witness too, so would be asking for support there to help, lol. I can't keep funding stuff on my own and not getting anything back. But for some reason, most people in this community think it's supposed to be that way... I don't know, lol.
And if I don't sell any copies, then they are only going to make my projects better on an operational level, lol.
Yeah, it was half ass done and then really unsupported thereafter, but they sure sucked some money out of the block rewards as a witness because of it, lol. But they are also a part of the 'club'.
GameStop Corp. (GME) has acknowledged receiving a letter from Strive Asset Management, encouraging the video game retailer to tap into its sizable cash pile and put it toward Bitcoin investments.

The new update for LeoDex will add nearly any #crypto on the planet along with 3 new protocols in addition to Maya: Thorchain, ChainFlip and Rango
The UI will quote your swap on all 4 protocols simultaneously to find you the "Best Price" and the "Faster" routes
The potential volume influx from having this + more wallet options is incredible. I think LeoDex breaks into the top 10 DEX UIs after this update goes live
I'm just imagining what would happen when LeoDEX finally becomes top 3 it'll be so awesome for the chain. We can directly bring in more users to Inleo as a whole.
Among all the sciences, mathematics is the biggest challenge, making the YouTube channel 3Blue1Brown a favorite. Every video is amazing and definitely worth watching!
Still 2 days to go before February end and another 15 days for the next #LPUD!
As usual, I am saving my $LEO tokens and so far, I have made 97.04 and hope to cross 100 by the month end. Now, time to get more active and earn another 100 before LPUD, so that I can power up 200+ this time!
LeoDex ranked top 15 on the interface leaderboard yesterday for Maya/TC interfaces
Bear in mind, this is without Thorchain being integrated yet. So we only have Maya volumes
The new update will bring Thorchain swaps
We're aiming for the top 10 daily leaderboard for Maya/TC volume which would = $500+ per day or 26,315 $LEO getting bought off the market each day
If you want to help us get there, use #leodex more often and post #feedback about any issues, bugs or feature requests
If we work as a community to make LeoDex the best DEX UI for the cross-chain space, the amount of $LEO that will be autonomously bought off the market is insane
Now I'm thinking about something... I see trust wallet at the top of the list, it has a dedicated mobile app, will LeoDEX have that one day as well?
Like how keychain has been built as an app?
Grays DAO just flexed its muscle, incinerating 21,780,000 PTGC tokens worth a cool $15,865 gone from the supply FOREVER! This BUY & BURN is pure rocket fuel for the ecosystem, shrinking the token pool and cranking up scarcity like a well-oiled machine.

Exploring Fort Mifflin: A Journey Through History and the Paranormal
Fort Mifflin, steeped in rich history, offers not only glimpses into the past but also a chance to encounter the unexplained. Under the guidance of Greg, who has dedicated over 20 years to the fort, we embark on an exploration of its haunted legacy and the stories of the spirits said to wander its grounds. With five years of official involvement in the paranormal aspects of the fort, Greg shares insights from his extensive experiences with visitors and the ghostly interactions that have shaped the fort's current reputation.
Greg recounts a formative experience haunting from his days as a scout. It was through a seemingly innocent camping trip that he first encountered the otherworldly. Hearing eerie, unexplainable voices in the dark of night and personally experiencing what became known as the "screaming lady" ignited a fascination that would last a lifetime. This experience laid the groundwork for a journey that would lead to a rich tapestry of haunted encounters.
Central to the hauntings at Fort Mifflin is the tragic tale of Elizabeth Pratt. Historically, she is said to have descended into madness after the loss of her daughter, who eloped with a soldier, against her wishes. The story goes that Elizabeth ended her life, leading to her spirit lingering within the fort. Although historical documentation verifies her residency during the early 1800s, evidence of her tormented life is intertwined with hauntings, further complicating the narrative.
Understanding the fort's past is essential in deciphering the paranormal occurrences. Serving originally as a British stronghold, the fort became a site of bloodshed during the Revolutionary War, where approximately 250 men died. Bodies were likely disposed of recklessly, adding to the fort's heavy energy. Following its operational years, the fort itself was repurposed after multiple conflicts, including its use during the Civil War as a prison.
The fort is said to house several spirits. Along with Elizabeth, tales of Jacob, the blacksmith, add depth to its ghostly lore. Visitors often recount hearing screams and encountering full-bodied apparitions, along with feelings of being watched. Reports of shadow figures flitting in and out of view contribute to an atmosphere charged with ancient energy, suggesting that the fort continues to harbor the echoes of its past.
As investigations by paranormal enthusiasts continue, the role of technology in uncovering evidence of the supernatural has become a focal point. Greg notes that equipment can sometimes amplify experiences, but there remains a mysterious element to the paranormal that resists quantification. Observers report that while technology can capture unexplained photographs and document environmental data, the human intuition and senses often reveal the most profound experiences.
A recent visitation invites a fresh team to examine Fort Mifflin’s haunting aspects. The team includes Zach, an electrical engineer who had previously dismissed the paranormal until a personal haunting experience changed his perspective. With his unique skill set and previous skepticism, Zach's arrival promises to bridge the gap between rationality and the supernatural.
The investigation of Fort Mifflin includes examining mysterious photographs taken across its grounds. One particular standout moment involved a chilling image captured by a young student. The image itself depicted an impressively detailed figure resembling a wax statue, raising questions about its authenticity and suggesting potential ghostly documentation. Such evidence excites both novice investigators and ardent believers alike.
The fort remains a living entity, with sounds and movements serving as testaments to its haunted history. As the team progresses through the grounds, they report a series of unexplained noises, including what appears to be a scuffle and voices in the shadows. This sensory experience fuels excitement and opens up discussions about what previously occurred in those very spaces.
Fort Mifflin serves as a compelling venue where history and the paranormal collide. With each whisper and shadow, the past reverberates through time, inviting both investigation and reflection. Lurking within the fort’s walls are echoes of human experience not easily forgotten. As new stories emerge and technology evolves, each exploration of Fort Mifflin promises new revelations, keeping the delicate balance between history, mystery, and the unknown eternally alive.
An In-Depth Exploration of Paranormal Investigation: Equipment and Experiences
The world of paranormal investigation is rife with skepticism, excitement, and the hope of uncovering the unknown. In one recent investigation, a group of investigators set out with state-of-the-art equipment to explore an area notoriously rich in historical significance and ghostly activity. Their insights into both the technology they utilized and the eerie settings they navigated provide a compelling narrative into the realm of unexplained phenomena.
The investigation commenced with the setup of an Ecto Pod, a high-tech base station designed to monitor various environmental factors. The investigators strategically placed remote sensors in critical “hot spot” areas throughout the facility. These sensors were equipped to detect ultraviolet light, passive infrared, temperature, humidity, and motion, providing a comprehensive analysis of the environment during their round-the-clock investigation.
“They're eager spirits,” one of the investigators commented, reflecting on the history of the location and hinting at the potential for increased activity owing to the area's lesser-trodden paths by other investigators. It’s believed that curious spirits may be drawn out by the new technology being introduced into their domain.
Personal Reflections on the Historical Significance
As the investigation progressed, the explorers entered the fort's casemates, historically known to be active zones for paranormal occurrences. Initially, some opted for a minimalistic approach, devoid of complex equipment, believing that a tranquil wait might invite the spirits to communicate without technological interference. One of the key insights shared was the atmosphere's heaviness—one could almost feel the weight of history and despair within the damp walls where prisoners once lived.
“There’s a stark realization of the horrors they must have faced,” an investigator reflected, noting the conditions of confinement that were less than humane. The severity of the historical context added a profound layer to their investigation as they posed questions to the ether, seeking any responses from the presumed past inhabitants of the fortress.
Engaging with the Unknown: EVPs and Sensory Reactions
Increased activity caught the attention of the group when they began to hear potential electronic voice phenomena (EVPs)—an audio recording of what sounded like voices and screams. Multiple team members reported hearing disembodied sounds, heightening the thrill of their investigation. “It sounded like a male voice trailing off,” one member noted, highlighting an eerie clarity that seemed to emanate from the darkness.
Throughout the exploration, they experienced multiple sensations—shifts in temperature and movements in the environment which reinforced their belief that an otherworldly presence may be interacting with them. The use of a REM Pod and a thermal camera added to the excitement as they asked the spirits to manipulate the equipment to communicate.
As the investigation unfolded, the dynamics within the group changed. They decided that splitting up and venturing into the more frightening sections of the fort may elicit stronger responses from the spirits. Communication among the group became crucial, as shared experiences of unexplained sounds and sensations fostered a sense of camaraderie and trust.
“I heard your voice!” exclaimed one investigator when sounds echoed from another room, underlining that the haunting experience transcended individual perceptions. Their discussions turned towards the emotional and psychological impacts of confronting the past; laughter intermingled with moments of fear and apprehension.
Ultimately, the investigation provided more questions than answers regarding the nature of the supernatural. The team’s reliance on technology contrasted sharply with the traditional methods of patiently waiting in silence, sparking debates about how best to engage with the departed.
The experience culminated in a broader understanding of how historical trauma may influence the energy captured in these spaces. Whether through high-tech sensors or the raw approach of waiting in silence, they concluded that some answers might remain elusive, resting within the confines of history and memory.
This investigation serves as a fascinating case study in the realm of the paranormal. It highlights the ongoing dance between technology and the human experience, evaluated through the lens of history and emotion. While debunkers may argue against the legitimacy of such encounters, those who experienced the investigation firsthand would likely argue otherwise.
As the night drew to a close, the team prepared to leave, resonating with the sense of having tapped into a moment of history. Their probing into the past sparked a dialogue that may continue beyond the auditory and visual realms—a reminder that in the world of the paranormal, questions persist long after the equipment is turned off and the lights go out.
Exploring the Paranormal: An Investigation at Fort Mifflin
Fort Mifflin, a historic military fort on the Delaware River in Philadelphia, has long been a site of intrigue and ghostly tales. As investigators report their experiences from a recent exploration, the atmosphere of the fort reveals its deep-rooted history that continues to resonate today.
First Impressions
Upon arriving, the investigators share mixed feelings about the location. While it does not present a traditionally creepy vibe, there’s an unmistakable sense of being watched. One investigator likens the experience to being at a concert—thrilling yet slightly overwhelming, indicative of the energy that seems to pervade the historic site.
To kick off their investigation, the team relies on Michelle, a psychic medium. Her abilities are put to the test as she describes the structure of the fort with pinpoint accuracy. She references a central building, surrounded by outbuildings, tall grass, and shadows—all details verifiable upon their arrival.
Based on Michelle's insights, the investigators decide to follow her intuition and explore the locations she identifies, aiming for a deeper understanding of the fort's spiritual landscape.
As the investigation progresses, Michelle, who connects with the environment energetically, shares her impressions. She notices shifts in the atmospheric sensations, describing moments of perceived pressure and an uncharacteristic weight in the air. She evokes visions of dilapidated hallways, dust-laden air, and a mixture of ancient memories and stories. Despite her acute awareness of residual energy, she reports a lack of immediate human-like spirits willing to communicate.
Michelle’s connection leads to revelations about the fort's outline and deteriorated elements, such as peeling paint and unstable flooring—details corroborated by visuals around them.
As discussions unfold, Michelle suggests that the strongest paranormal activity might arise from individual investigations. Encouraged by this concept, the team splits up, each venturing into potentially haunted areas alone—intentionally creating a sense of vulnerability that could provoke further response from whatever may linger in the fort's shadows.
One investigator chooses the caretaker’s house—a location steeped in ghost stories, including sightings of a woman named Elizabeth, a spirit believed to be trapped within the fort’s walls. The atmosphere feels tense yet charged with anticipation, providing the perfect setting for a solo investigation.
Each member embarks on their isolated paths, equipped only with audio recorders and their senses. One investigator reports a haunting stillness upstairs in the caretaker's house while trying to engage with any spirits present. An emotion-laden calm surrounds them, intensifying the sense that something, or someone, is nearby.
During another segment of the investigation, an electrical engineer on the team reports an unexpected shock while interacting with a Tesla coil—a piece of equipment they had brought along. This shocking incident occurs just as he playfully invites spirits to “come in,” suggesting an ominous warning from what may be guarding the location. His background in engineering offers no logical explanation for this event, leading to further speculation about the fort's energy and the role of the investigative tools introduced.
As the investigation draws to a close, team members share their experiences and the revelations gleaned from their different approaches. Michelle’s uncanny accuracy and the subsequent shocking incident present a perplexing puzzle of unexplained phenomena within Fort Mifflin.
The evening's experiments raise compelling questions about the nature of spiritual communication and the effectiveness of different investigative techniques. Could the presence of equipment be enhancing the energy within the fort, or is it merely a coincidence that the engineering practices intersect with the paranormal?
Fort Mifflin stands not just as a relic of history but as an ongoing site of spectral interaction. The team’s explorations yield more questions than answers, revealing the need for further inquiry into how and why spirits seem to linger in places like this.
As the investigators pack up, they are left contemplating the complex relationship between the past and the present, the living and the spectral—a relationship that continues to unfold at Fort Mifflin, where every shadow conceals a story waiting to be told.

Tesla's Innovative Cathode Production Process: A Game Changer for Battery Manufacturing
As Tesla continues to revolutionize battery manufacturing, recent insights into their cathode material production have emerged, offering concrete details after five years of anticipation since Battery Day. The unveiling comes through a Tesla patent application published last month, which primarily focuses on specific variations for producing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cathode materials.
This process primarily concerns the construction of the cathode powder itself—fine particles made of high-purity crystals that serve as a host for lithium ions, essential for energy storage. The significance of this emphasizes that the process to produce the cathode powder could lead to groundbreaking cost reductions for Tesla, potentially enabling them to manufacture some of the most affordable LFP battery cells globally.
The Impact of Cathode Production on Tesla’s Competitive Edge
According to Drew Baglino, former Senior Vice President of Powertrain and Energy at Tesla, the mass production of LFP cathode materials through this innovative method could surpass the cost-efficiency of untariffed LFP materials imported from China. This breakthrough could position Tesla as a leader in low-cost battery production, thereby cementing its competitive edge in the electric vehicle market.
As part of today’s insights, I'll take you through the core aspects of this patent application and outline the implications for future battery cells, particularly the anticipated LFP 4680 cells in Tesla's upcoming Cybercab.
Traditional Cathode Production: Limitations and Drawbacks
Traditionally, cathode production involves intricate processes that can be both energy-consuming and environmentally damaging. For instance, using Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) cathodes exemplifies a common production method that initiates at a chemical plant, where metals are combined with sulfuric acid to create metal sulfates. This method entails several steps, including mixing with water and carbonates, a separation stage that generates extensive wastewater, and additional drying, grinding, and classification phases.
These processes result in a significant environmental footprint, creating toxic waste streams and necessitating substantial water resources—approximately 99,000 liters of water for a moderate production scale of just 6.5 tons of materials daily. Furthermore, the need for complex installations adds to capital intensity and production costs.
Tesla’s Innovative Approach: Two Paths Forward
In contrast, Tesla’s newly patented cathode production process seeks to address these limitations. The application outlines an extensive framework—spanning over 100 pages—that includes alternate wet and dry production pathways, detailed flowcharts, and examples of various processing machinery.
The core innovation Tesla aims to incorporate resembles Nano One’s "One-Pot" process, wherein all raw materials are combined in one operation rather than fragmented across multiple steps. This transformation not only streamlines production but also significantly reduces waste generation and water consumption.
Exploring the Proposed Spray Granulation Process
Delving deeper into the potential production pathway, it seems Tesla leans towards a spray granulation method. The first phase involves mixing raw cathode materials into a uniform slurry, eliminating the need for hazardous metal sulfate production. Following this, a granulation stage spray-dries the slurry, allowing moisture to evaporate and forming larger agglomerate particles necessary for the cathode.
Next comes a classification step to ensure uniformity in particle size, which is critical for the battery's performance metrics, such as energy density and charge rate. This process is unique in how it facilitates the recycling of waste particles back into the production loop, further maximizing efficiency.
Kilns and Heating: A Critical Step
The following stage comprises a kiln or furnace where the blended particles are heated and crystallized—a process known as calcination. Tesla's recent equipment installations suggest they might be utilizing saggar kilns or rotary furnaces, each having differing operational efficiencies and benefits— from the traditional methods to more contemporary approaches that could mitigate dust contamination.
After fully understanding these advancements, one might wonder why Tesla didn’t just license existing technology from firms like Nano One. The expectation is that Tesla aims for a comprehensive grasp on the supply chain, making their operations less vulnerable to market fluctuations or monopolies. By developing proprietary manufacturing technology, Tesla can strengthen its negotiating power should any intellectual property concerns arise with established technologies.
Importantly, while Tesla’s proposed methods may showcase distinct advantages, they also face competition from manufacturers in countries like China, who are rapidly closing technological gaps. Nevertheless, Tesla’s commitment to producing its LFP materials domestically would provide it an edge against tariffs and logistics costs, ultimately bolstering the company’s goal to lead in low-cost battery production.
As Tesla forges onward with its strategic innovations in cathode production, the implications of this patent could not only set new standards for efficiency and cost but also ensure a resilient supply chain that stands against global market fluctuations.
In my upcoming video, I will further explore the implications of this patent for the looming LFP 4680 battery cell, particularly as it relates to Tesla’s Cybercab. Thank you for your interest and support as we continue to unravel the transformative potential of Tesla’s advancements in battery technology.
The new laws sought to break the aristocratic hold on high office by removing their influence. Candidates for Archon were now chosen by lot from the Council of 500. A system of ostracism was introduced to prevent accumulation of power. Any senior official deemed to be corrupt could be banished for ten years by a vote of the Assembly. Other changes included limiting the power of the Areopagas to appeal for murder trials, and transferring supervision of the conduct of government to the Council of 500.
This great Athenian democracy thrived through the time of Pericles 462-429 B.C, but was degraded during the Peloponnesian War, which ended in 404. The Athenians were defeated by Sparta and would never again experience the great democracy they had invented.
If we agree that the definition of democracy is anything we want it to be, then I suppose America has a democracy, but it’s funny how the term has be used by feminist types to suggest the Greeks didn’t have a democracy because women couldn’t vote. In their view, only contemporary America would meet the true definition. How absurd! Democracies are defined by the ability of people to have a say in government, not whether one class or the other has equal rights.
A political system will only be strong if informed citizens vote. That is citizens who are intelligent enough and motivated enough to analyze the issues before voting. Those who vote without knowledge of the issues or support candidates because they are told who to support are corrupt. Quality government comes from quality votes, not the number of them.

An Inside Look at the New York Mets: Updates and Insights for 2023
The anticipation for the 2023 MLB season is palpable, especially for fans of the New York Mets. With an impressive roster and a few key injuries, the team is parsing through crucial decisions this spring. Recently, Joel Sherman and John Heyman hosted a discussion, where they delved into the Mets' current standing and future outlook, including insights from long-time Met Brandon Nimmo.
Brandon Nimmo, who joined the Mets in 2016, is considered one of the franchise pillars. Renowned for his charisma and being a great communicator, Nimmo has taken a more measured approach to his spring training this year after battling plantar fasciitis last season. He reported that he’s currently around 94% of his normal speed, indicating a promising recovery.
During their conversation, Nimmo expressed confidence in his abilities and shared his regimen for managing his foot condition while preparing for the upcoming season. Notably, he has adopted a strategy of conserving energy, which aligns with his past years of playing over 150 games. This careful management not only benefits him personally but also the team's overall performance.
The Mets are currently facing some injury woes, particularly in their starting rotation, with both Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas likely to miss the beginning of the season. This development raises concerns about depth, especially given that the Mets established a successful rotation last year by bringing both pitchers into the fold. The question remains: should the organization seek out additional talent in March or rely on the depth they have developed?
John Heyman remarked on this uncertainty and highlighted the delicate balance between maintaining team stability and addressing urgent needs. Nimmo's confidence in the team's current depth, along with their track record of performing well under pressure, could serve as a strong foundation.
Sherman and Heyman addressed the enviable strength of the Mets' lineup, particularly with the addition of power hitters like Juan Soto and the consistency brought by existing stars like Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso. Nimmo echoed sentiments of unity and collaborative energy in the locker room and expressed an unwavering belief in the team's ability to compete with the best in Major League Baseball.
The conversation further explored how efficient offensive production overcomes doubts about pitching. While the coaching staff is optimistic about the arms they have, knowing the volatility of injuries, it appears that Nimmo and his teammates are poised to outscore opponents if pitching becomes challenging.
Embracing Expectations: The Pursuit of a Championship
As the 2023 season approaches, the Mets are embracing their status and expectations as serious competition in Major League Baseball. They're led by an ownership group that is committed to winning, with Nimmo highlighting the influence team executives Steve and Alex Cohen have had on creating a winning culture.
Nimmo underscored that while they have high hopes, they know that success isn’t guaranteed and that the focus needs to be on daily execution. Awareness of the competitive landscape, particularly compared to teams like the Braves and Dodgers, adds pressure but also serves as motivating fuel for the Mets as they strive to finally break through to the championship level.

The concept of the quantum field, often referred to as the unified field of all possibilities, challenges conventional thinking. Rather than responding to our desires or wants, the quantum field aligns with the essence of who we are being. Emphasizing that when we chase desires from a place of lack, we signal separation rather than connection. This leads us to recognize the transformative power of silence, inward reflection, and the embodiment of states of being congruent with our aspirations.
To access the quantum field, one must enter a state of 'nobody', 'nowhere', and 'no time', transcending identity and ego, and fully engaging with the present moment. This internal silence acts as a gateway, where we can step away from our noisy external world and connect with pure consciousness, the realm where all possibilities reside.
Many individuals get caught in the cycles of their five senses, perceiving only what exists rather than what's possible. By withdrawing attention from the external, finding stillness, and closing our eyes, we open ourselves to the quantum realm.
The neuroscience behind manifestation highlights that both the brain and body struggle to differentiate between real-life experiences and vividly imagined ones. By emotionally engaging with our future dreams, we can condition our biology to reflect a new state of being, eliminating the anterior need to await external changes to feel joy and abundance. The moment we embody the feeling of having achieved our aspirations, we stop waiting and allow those desires to manifest in our lives.
The Quantum Model of Reality versus Linear Thinking
Traditional linear models of reality posit that goal achievement is based on time, effort, and labor. In contrast, the quantum model suggests that we can collapse time by energetically aligning ourselves with our desired future. Just as tuning a radio requires us to adjust to the right frequency, we must align our thoughts and feelings with the reality we wish to manifest. This paradox reveals that the harder we chase desires, the more we push them away.
The attention we give to our thoughts can either shape our reality or reinforce destructive patterns. Like a flashlight illuminating darkness, our focus needs to shine on abundance, joy, and our aspirational vision. The reticular activating system in our brains acts as a filter that recognizes and emphasizes what we choose to focus on, reiterating the power of attention in manifesting desires.
Engaging with the observer effect in quantum physics illustrates that reality can be shaped at a fundamental level based on where and how we direct our attention. Thus, we must concentrate on our aspirations with certainty and emotional intent, avoiding mixed signals that could stall our manifestations.
During the early stages of manifestation, our new neural pathways remain susceptible to external influences and doubts. The historic teachings of mystics emphasized the importance of silence and internal processing to preserve our energy and maintain coherence with our visions.
In this journey, it becomes crucial not only to visualize our desires silently but also to live and embody those outcomes as if they are already present in our lives, leveraging emotional energy as the powerful charge that magnetizes our future towards us.
Sharing our aspirations too prematurely can dilute their energy. Seeking validation or reassurance from others can shift our focus from potential to doubt, distancing us from our goals. Instead, a confident individual embodies their aspirations without feeling the need to announce them.
True power resides not in explicating our journeys but in consistently embodying the essence of our desired outcomes. When we stop revealing our plans, we limit the influence of outside negativity and maintain control over our internal state.
The Call to Action: Manifestation Through Alignment
To truly become the version of ourselves who has already achieved our goals, we must visualize and internalize our desired states, feeling the corresponding emotions deeply. By embodying those feelings and affirming ourselves, we align our energies with our highest aspirations.
Understanding that we are the creators of our reality allows us to stop waiting for external validation. Every moment spent focusing on our desired outcomes strengthens our connection to the quantum field, positioning us closer to their manifestation.
As the creators of our own narratives, understanding the intricate interplay of energy, attention, and belief is vital. Every thought, every emotion shapes the reality around us. By changing our inner world, we lay the foundational work for the world around us to alter in response to our alignment.
The journey toward manifestation is a powerful one, encompassing self-worth and unwavering belief in ourselves. By maintaining a clear focus and an open heart, we can align our energies with our highest visions. As you move forward, remember that the world eagerly awaits the extraordinary creations you are destined to bring to life.
"APPLE SHOULD GET RID OF DEI RULES, NOT JUST MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THEM. DEI WAS A HOAX THAT HAS BEEN VERY BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY. DEI IS GONE!!!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tuesday's vote at the iPhone maker's annual meeting was seen as a test of shareholder views about the value of DEI programs, which many companies added or beefed up starting in 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter movement.
Proponents of the proposal against DEI argued that recent legal changes meant Apple would see an increase in discrimination cases if it continued such policies.

In this latest episode of Electrified hosted by Dylan Lumis, important updates and corrections regarding Tesla's innovations and business strategy were extensively discussed. Here's an in-depth summary of the key points raised during the episode.
Correction on Brake By Wire System
To begin, Lumis clarified a previous statement about Tesla's new kaf, indicating that it is not part of the brake by wire system as initially reported. Instead, it is connected to Tesla's new drive unit, showcasing the constant evolution of Tesla's engineering efforts.
A significant development involved Tesla's automation arm, which announced its intention to acquire the insolvent German engineering firm Mon's AG. This strategic move allows Tesla to strengthen its engineering capabilities, specifically in regard to high-level automation in manufacturing.
Mon's AG, with nearly 40 years of experience in advanced manufacturing technology focusing on electric vehicle (EV) battery production, fell into insolvency due to a downturn in Europe’s battery market. Tesla’s acquisition includes over 300 employees, assets, and property in Rotlingen. Though the financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed, it showcases Tesla's ongoing strategy of vertical integration to build its “machine that builds the machine.”
Shifting focus to Tesla's sales performance, the report noted that Tesla's numbers in China faced a significant drop—down 43.2% quarter-over-quarter. In the same week, a mere 6,900 vehicles were reported sold, which raises concerns amidst a backdrop of declining demand. Year-over-year sales also reflected a worrying trend, with total registrations across the EU down significantly, primarily attributed to ongoing model transitions rather than solely a decrease in consumer interest.
Lumis stressed the misunderstanding in the media regarding Tesla's declining sales, highlighting the impending transition of the Model Y that many publications overlooked. He indicated that patience is crucial as these adjustments take place, and better insights should be expected through Q1 and into Q2.
The episode took a turn toward data privacy, emphasizing the often-overlooked impact of data brokers. Lumis shared alarming statistics about the industry, which rakes in over $250 billion annually. This highlights the need for increased awareness among consumers regarding their own data security. He introduced DeleteMe, a service focused on erasing personal information from data brokers, as a resource for listeners concerned about privacy.
In frontier technology updates, Tesla has officially rolled out its full self-driving (FSD) system in China under the moniker Autopilot Assisted Driving on Urban Roads. Despite having limited local training, this rollout is touted as a testament to Tesla’s robust AI model. Early impressions show that the driving behavior appears more humanlike, successfully engaging in complex driving scenarios without significant failures.
Lumis highlighted that while other companies might attempt to create similar systems, Tesla's longstanding training using real-world footage offers it a superior foundation. This highlights the distinction between Tesla's capabilities and those of competitors in the field.
In vehicle upgrades, an announcement indicated that the Model Y, Model 3, and Cybertruck are transitioning to a new 5G-capable modem. This shift underscores Tesla's commitment to future-proofing its technology, even amid fluctuating market expectations about 5G services.
Additionally, the Cybertruck's steer-by-wire technology was recognized with a prestigious award from Motor Trend, further emphasizing Tesla's innovative edge in the automotive industry.

The aftermath of the Lunar New Year in 2025 presents a somber reality for job seekers across China. With many small businesses and family workshops still closed, job postings appear sparse, indicating industries have yet to rebound from the holiday celebrations. This situation suggests that the once-bustling recruitment platforms are now devoid of opportunities, leaving many still searching for stable employment.
In regions such as Yiu, a prominent hub for foreign trade, the absence of activity raises concerns. Despite being a critical point for trade with over 200 countries, many vacancies remain unfilled as the job market struggles to support returning workers. The meager offerings focus largely on low-skill positions like food delivery and ride-hailing, which barely cover living expenses. Ground-level observations highlight that rental properties remain vacant, and the streets are quieter, contrasting sharply with past years where the post-holiday period saw a spike in labor returns.
In Guango, a region typically bustling with workers, landlords have unexpectedly begun seeking tenants directly—a stark departure from the norm where properties would easily rent themselves. This direct outreach suggests a significant reduction in the number of job returnees, leading to increased pressure on rental markets and an oversaturated job market.
Shifts in Job Market Dynamics
The demographic challenges are compounded by rising age limits in job applications, such as at the popular restaurant chain Heid Lao, which now asks for college degrees for ostensibly low-skilled roles. Applicants face increasing barriers, and there is growing dissatisfaction from workers who feel excluded from opportunities due to such restrictions.
Videos circulating online showcase the realities of unemployment in Guango, with crowded areas demonstrating the competition over the dwindling job openings. The harsh reality is reflected in stories from recent graduates and seasoned professionals alike, many of whom are grappling with layoffs in previously stable positions in various sectors, including private businesses and state-owned enterprises.
Layoffs have seeped into state-owned enterprises, a significant shift for organizations previously viewed as stable employers. Reports suggest widespread layoffs and restructuring occurring under the banner of corporate reform, leaving employees vulnerable. Documented accounts depict emotional workers, shocked by unexpected job losses and grappling with financial implications as they support families and dependents.
Scholarship indicates that the shear cumulative effects of state policies and economic downturns have destabilized once-reliable job markets. As layoffs become more common, observers posit that stringent government controls and increased competition exacerbate economic strain, prompting fears of broader unrest fueled by discontent and social instability.
The plight of the private sector echoes similar sentiments, as tensions between government expectations and enterprise survival create an uneasy landscape for business leaders. As demonstrated by the recent defaults in private companies, distress signals are evident in corporate failures and financial crises, further isolating workers from job security. High-profile meetings between Xi Jinping and business leaders signal a desperate attempt at salvaging private enterprises, but skepticism lingers regarding the longevity of such alliances.
As China grapples with escalating unemployment and economic malaise, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) looms over human job security. The infiltration of robots into jobs traditionally held by workers has sparked mixed reactions between hope for efficiency and fears of large-scale job displacement. Observations of AI-powered civil servants hint at a future where human roles diminish, intensifying the job market crisis.
The sentiment surrounding AI adoption raises critical questions about the future of work and the human element within labor practices. Critics warn that the growing reliance on machines may exacerbate the existing workforce challenges, undermining job stability and welfare.
As the dust settles post-Lunar New Year, the current job market reflects a paradigm imbued with uncertainty and shifting expectations. The interplay of demographic changes, economic pressures, and the looming threat of AI illustrates a challenging landscape for job seekers. As China navigates these complexities, both the social fabric and the economy hang in a delicate balance, leaving many to ponder the future of stable employment within their nation’s evolving environment.
The voice of individuals navigating this precarious situation remains paramount. With tales of struggle interwoven among aspirations for stability, the collective narrative increasingly paints a picture of an economy that must urgently confront and address its fundamental flaws to foster a more fruitful job market for its citizens.
Father Murray to Newsmax: Pope Francis 'Forged His Own Path'
With Pope Francis in declining health and reportedly nearing death, the Roman Catholic Church has begun to cast its gaze to his replacement and what it might want in a new Holy See, which Father Gerald Murray told Newsmax is a "big question."
With Pope Francis in declining health and reportedly nearing death, the Roman Catholic Church has begun to cast its gaze to his replacement and what it might want in a new Holy See, which Father Gerald Murray told Newsmax is a "big question."
Murray, a priest in the Archdiocese of New York, joined "National Report" speaking about the Pope's condition but also looking ahead to the characteristics of a new Pope given that Francis "forged his own path."
The Romans, after their defeat an Cannae, adopted a plan of avoiding large scale battles against Hannibal and only attacked him on a small scale when they were sure they could win. They put a great deal of effort into preventing reinforcements, which proved to be an important factor in their ultimate success. The most serious attempt at reinforcement occurred in 207 when Hannibal’s brother Hasdrubal tried to move an army down the west side of the Apennines and link up with him. Hasdrubal was trapped by the Romans and killed. It must have been disheartening for Hannibal, after waiting eleven years for reinforcements, to have his brother’s head tossed into his camp as a signal that no help would be coming.
Reinforcements were critical because, as time went by, Hannibal had fewer and fewer of his original troops and more local mercenaries. He found himself trapped in Bruttium because his army was Bruttian and they refused to fight outside their district. Then, in 203, with the Romans attacking Carthage directly, Hannibal left Italy to help in the defense of his homeland.
There’s a visual component to the new Alexa, as well. On Amazon’s Echo Show smart displays, Alexa+ powers photo galleries and other personalized content feeds. A new “For You” panel displays timely updates based on a user’s interests, in addition to widgets like smart home controls.
Predictably, Alexa+ integrates tightly with Amazon’s broader smart home ecosystem. Users can say a command to have Alexa play music from Amazon Music on a supported smart device connected to the same Wi-Fi network, or have a Fire TV device skip to a particular scene in a movie or TV show.
The Evolution of Internet Technology: A Journey Through the Decades
The progression of the internet and digital technology has been dynamic, with each decade marked by distinct characteristics. The 90s established itself as the era of text, followed by the 2000s, which emphasized images. The 2010s pivoted towards video, and as we navigate through the 2020s, there is a strong consensus that this decade will be defined by interactive 3D technology and gaming within various industries, particularly the enterprise sector.
Across history, video games have served as virtual simulations designed primarily for entertainment. However, they are increasingly being harnessed for practical applications in the real world, encompassing areas like training, learning and development, robotics, and visualization. The potential of interactive 3D is vast; it allows users to experience and engage with complex environments and scenarios in real time, enhancing understanding and skill acquisition.
Gaming technology and its innovations play a critical role in shaping various industries. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, highlighted that consumer spending has funded significant research and development in the gaming industry, enabling technological breakthroughs that can later be applied to other fields. Gaming environments are a nexus of innovation due to their combination of creativity, technical mastery, and consumer demand for new experiences.
Historically, elements like multiplayer features and intricate user interfaces were once seen as novelties in gaming but have evolved to become prevalent in various applications across industries, such as collaborative design tools like Figma. The gaming sector continues to be a fertile ground for innovation with trends emerging that may only be fully recognized a decade down the line.
Driving Forces Behind the Rise of 3D Technology
The landscape for interactive 3D technology is being supported by three significant tailwinds.
Content Creation and AI Tools: Historically, content creation is one of the significant bottlenecks in both gaming and enterprise instances, consuming over 50% of development resources. However, advancements in AI now provide tools for asset generation, making this process more efficient and accessible for non-gaming applications.
3D Capture Technologies: New techniques like Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) enable the efficient capturing of real-world environments in lifelike detail. Such advancements are essential for industries like architecture and automotive, allowing for enhanced virtual testing and visualization before actual physical implementation.
Emerging XR Devices: Extended reality (XR) technologies, including advanced headsets, are becoming increasingly accessible, improving the user experience. These devices allow professionals to leverage designs in situ, enhancing applications in fields such as construction and medical training by providing essential interactive 3D overlays.
Each of these factors has its own cost curves, and as technology progresses, the cost of adopting these systems is rapidly decreasing, making them more viable for a broader range of applications.
Interactive 3D technology is seeing integration across multiple industries, revealing fascinating applications. For instance, companies like Andrel Industries and Tesla leverage gaming technology for simulation purposes, employing virtual environments for strategy planning and autonomous systems training. The ability to simulate complex scenarios also allows industries to create valuable training datasets, establishing models that can manage edge cases that arise infrequently in real-world contexts.
Training scenarios illustrate how virtual simulations can encompass various tasks outside traditional gaming, from workforce training to emergency preparedness. AI-driven agents acting as non-player characters (NPCs) can facilitate a more immersive experience, enabling simulations that help organizations prepare for unexpected scenarios such as disease outbreaks or social policy evaluations.
The Intersection of Consumer and Enterprise Applications
While many applications have been geared towards enterprise, there is noticeable demand for consumer-oriented solutions utilizing similar technologies. Home improvement planning, for instance, can be revolutionized by allowing users to design their living spaces in a 3D environment, utilizing technology to visualize furniture arrangements and styles before making purchases.
The forthcoming wave of 3D applications promises not only significant advancements in the enterprise sector but also will markedly enhance the consumer experience, blending gaming technology into everyday services and products.
Looking Ahead: Emerging Technologies and Continued Advancement
The future is brimming with promise as new technologies are poised to be integrated into 3D simulations and gaming. Innovations in human-machine interaction (HMI), such as brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, are expected to revolutionize how users interact with virtual environments. Using brain activity to manipulate digital experiences enhances user engagement and immersion, tracking user responses in real time.
Moreover, feelable tactile feedback through devices, such as rings worn on fingers, will further contribute to a more immersive gaming experience. With these advancements, users will likely find themselves fully engaged in their virtual environments, enjoying seamlessly integrated sensory experiences that replicate real-life interactions.
As we embrace the potential of interactive 3D technology, the convergence of these advancements opens pathways for enhanced collaboration, training, and consumer engagement across both enterprise and entertainment landscapes. The consequences of these innovations will surely redefine the way we interact with the digital world in the years to come.
Of course, AI is a notorious hallucinator. Amazon asserts that Alexa+ is accurate and reliable, but we’ll have to see whether those claims hold up when the new experience launches later this year.
Life is fleeting, and the solemn truth behind the saying, "the graveyards are full of people that thought they had more time," resonates deeply with many of us. The acknowledgment of our mortality often comes to the forefront in the wake of personal loss. In recent years, the speaker has faced the reality of death as they lost not only family members but also cherished cousins, both tragically passing away at an age that seemed all too young—59 and 61. These were people the speaker had known throughout their life, sharing countless joyful moments together, but life is unpredictable, and they had not anticipated that their time was so limited.
As we navigate our daily routines, it's easy to get caught up in a cycle that feels endless: waking up early, rushing through traffic, working long hours, and perhaps spending a mere handful of hours with loved ones before collapsing into bed, only to repeat it all again the next day. This relentless hustle often obscures the reality that, on average, life expectancy in the U.S. is around 76 years, a statistic that serves as a stark reminder of our mortality. Yet statistics can often mask the personal experiences of those around us. For the speaker, many of those they have known have not lived to see their 80s or 90s, and such truths cast shadows on the official narratives that statistics present.
Many of us embark on our careers with a target in mind, often viewing retirement as something to look forward to. We pin our hopes on achieving financial stability to enjoy retirement in our golden years. However, this planning often comes with an oversight—we forget that life does not guarantee us tomorrow. It's easy to fall into a mindset of "just five more years, and then I'll retire," without fully contemplating the implications of unexpected events.
With each loss, the notion that life is uncertain becomes ever more apparent. The loss of close relatives served as a wake-up call, urging the speaker to reconsider their understanding of life and mortality. Life can take people when they least expect it, and there is no certainty that we will reach our planned retirement age, let alone enjoy it.
Additionally, many people today, especially younger generations, face profound challenges regarding financial security. They might find themselves looking at the prospect of working indefinitely, caught in a cycle of debt and economic strain that makes retirement appear unattainable. Highlighting this reality underscores a pervasive struggle: while many have financial goals, the grueling day-to-day grind often overshadows the need to pause, enjoy life, and appreciate the time we do have.
The speaker reflects on their previous mindset of equating self-worth with professional success, often sidelining personal enjoyment and social connections. Yet the more one sees the fragility of life, the more one realizes the importance of striking a balance between work and personal happiness. The relentless pursuit of career advancements mustn't eclipse the joy that comes from spending time with family, friends, and even pets.
Realizing that life could end unexpectedly should inspire us to prioritize quality moments now instead of continuously deferring them to an ambiguous future. Many of those buried in graveyards had plans, dreams, and aspirations for the next day, yet their lives were cut short before they could fulfill them. The sobering reminder is that there’s an inherent uncertainty with each new day we face, challenging us to embrace the present.
In conclusion, the message is clear: While work is an essential aspect of our lives and can offer stability, we must also intentionally carve out space for enjoyment in our daily lives. It is crucial to foster relationships, relish in personal passions, and create lasting memories with those dear to us. Life is unpredictable, and the key takeaway is to live intentionally, savor every moment, and recognize that, indeed, tomorrow is never guaranteed.

It’s obvious from the chart that the Greeks were a couple of hundred years ahead of the Romans in developing their culture. In 625, when the Romans were living in mud huts and working at draining the swamp that would become the Forum, the Athenians were already 125 years removed from establishing their colonies in Italy and well on the way toward defining a unique and advanced culture. Architecture forms were well developed, large sculptures were being produced, and pottery had already passed through its orientalizing period. The polis had become a mature political system as it broke new ground in human rights and political participation. At the same time, the Greek army had evolved advanced battle tactics including use of the Phalanx.
Since the early kings were not wealthy, their attempts at power were overcome by military leaders who excelled at forming superior tactics. Without money kings could not buy power. The isolation of the Aegean and its geography was also a factor because it prevented foreign threats and the influence foreign invaders could exert on evolving Greek political systems.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect was the simplicity of Greek life. The Greeks looked at the world through an intellectual lens: embracing science, mathematics, philosophy, and the arts, rather than pure wealth building. Greek philosophy dictated that possessions were not the route to happiness in life and that logic demanded equality among free people. The Greeks believed that all possess inherent rights to justice, participation in government, and equality under law.
The Vanishing 300 Win Pitcher: An Epoch in Major League Baseball
On the evening of June 4th, 2009, Randy Johnson accomplished a historic feat that reverberates through the annals of baseball history: he won his 300th game. A consummate professional, Johnson showcased his prowess on the mound by limiting the Washington Nationals to just one run over six innings. With closer Brian Wilson sealing the win, Johnson entered an exclusive club of only 24 pitchers to reach the esteemed 300-win mark—a milestone that almost guarantees immortalization in the Hall of Fame and cements one's legacy within the sport.
However, since Johnson’s momentous achievement, an unprecedented shift has occurred: no pitcher has reached the 300-win threshold in over 15 years. This begs the question: what is responsible for this trend, and do any current pitchers hold a realistic chance of breaking this remarkable barrier?
Traditionally, in Major League Baseball (MLB), a pitcher is credited with a win if he is the player to hold the lead when the game is secured, provided he has pitched at least five innings. Although this rule has been in place since the 1950s, the origins of counting wins date back to the ‘dead ball’ era when pitchers frequently took to the mound, often leading to higher win totals. For instance, pitchers like PUD Galvin and Kid Nichols notched wins at a breakneck pace, reaching 300 wins well before reaching 30 years of age.
Yet, as baseball evolved, so too did its pitching strategies. The introduction of the live ball era marked a seismic shift, with aggressive offenses enkindling higher demands on pitchers. Consequently, starter rotations shifted to five and six-man configurations, diluting the number of win opportunities—a stark contrast to earlier eras when pitchers were expected to complete games.
The Evolution of the Pitching Role
The ensuing decades brought a significant decline in complete games and an increase in injuries—a critical downside for pitchers aiming for the 300-win milestone. For instance, during the mid-20th century, only a handful of pitchers—such as Lefty Grove and Warren Spahn—accrued this prestigious total, often pitching well into their late careers to achieve that goal.
Contrasting this trend is the modern game's mindset, where wins are becoming less of a reliable measurement of a pitcher’s value. Individual performances are increasingly influenced by the offensive capabilities of their teams. The volatility of wins and losses—as seen through modern examples like Jacob deGrom, who won only 10 games while dominating Strikeouts—highlights the complexity of assessing a pitcher’s contributions beyond mere statistics.
The Prospects for the 300 Win Club
As of today, only three active pitchers appear to stand a fighting chance of entering the 300 Win Club: Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, and Justin Verlander. Each of these seasoned players represents a unique pathway toward the elusive milestone.
Max Scherzer, with 216 wins, faces an uphill battle as he nears the age of 40. Assuming he maintains his current win pace, he would still require to pitch well into his late forties—a daunting expectation, even for talented veterans. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw, at 212 career wins, has been plagued by injuries in recent years, throwing his potential for reaching 300 into uncertainty.
Of the trio, Justin Verlander stands best positioned with 262 wins. He has expressed a desire to continue playing into his mid-40s but must prioritize durability and consistent performance to reach the milestone. Should he succeed, Verlander may well be the last pitcher to win 300 games—an achievement that could be lost to the ages.
Looking beyond the stars, a glance at the broader landscape unveils a bleak outlook for the 300 Win Club. Current rotations favor shorter outings and more specialized roles, meaning few pitchers today are on track to amass the necessary 300 wins. Furthermore, the relevance of individual wins will likely continue to diminish in a sport that increasingly values overall performance metrics and game efficiency.
However, changes in MLB rules—such as potential provisions for a six-inning minimum for starting pitchers—could alter the trajectories of future wins. Historical precedent suggests that baseball is prone to cyclical evolution, raising the possibility that the 300-win mark might one day be reclaimed, albeit under different paradigms.
Ultimately, while the 300-win milestone remains iconic, it must not serve as the sole measure of pitcher's greatness. Baseball boasts a rich tapestry of legendary figures—like Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, and Pedro Martinez—who remain enshrined in the annals of history without reaching the 300-win mark. Greatness in the game transcends numbers, and the nature of baseball is ever-changing.
As the game adapts to modern influences and contingencies, the quest for 300 wins may become an artifact of the past, yet the passion and legacy of pitchers will always resonate within the sport. While statistics tell a story, the true essence of baseball lies in the triumphs, struggles, and unique narratives woven through generations. The future of pitching, like life, holds the promise of unpredictability, underscoring that greatness cannot be confined to a singular achievement.
Ultimately Rome would come to dominate Greece because its unity and the power derived from it would overcome the Greeks independence. In this case, Greek philosophy was the liability because it kept the Greeks form creating a powerful empire which could compete against Rome.

A New Era in American Politics: The Trump Phenomenon
As guests gathered for a special White House tour, President Trump made a surprise appearance to engage with them, embodying a spirit of celebration and optimism. With a strong sense of connection to the American people, Trump conveyed his excitement for a new "golden age" in the nation — a time characterized by significant victories and the shifting political landscape.
One notable highlight was the recent special election in Connecticut, where Republican candidate Jason Perillo triumphed over his Democrat opponent by seven points. This win was particularly significant given that the district had previously supported Trump by a mere five points. Analysts viewed Perillo's victory as a demonstration of Trump's increasing popularity and a sign of the Republican Party's rebranding as the "Grand Old Patriot Party." This rebranding has evidently resonated with voters, showcasing a shift in their political loyalties.
The Harvard Harris poll released this week illustrated Trump's robust position among voters, with supermajority support for a variety of his policies. Noteworthy is that 81% of voters back the deportation of illegal immigrants who commit crimes, while 76% advocate for efforts to eliminate waste and fraud in government. The poll results reflect a national consensus around Trump's America First agenda, which appears to be transforming the political scenery in traditionally blue states.
The political dynamics in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut illustrate a tide of change. Analysts suggest that Pennsylvania is mirroring the trend seen in Ohio a few years back, indicating a steady reduction in the Democrat voter registration advantage. Similarly, New Jersey is now seen as indicative of the shift experienced in Pennsylvania. Both states are experiencing a growing number of defectors from the working-class voter base toward the MAGA-centric Republican Party, raising possibilities of future Republican dominance.
Notably, Connecticut's recent special election, where Republicans significantly outperformed expectations, raises questions about the potential for this state to turn red in upcoming elections. This developing trend suggests a broader political realignment that could reshape electoral outcomes in the near future.
On a parallel front, Trump's administration has shaken up the traditional dynamics of media access to the President. In a major policy shift, the White House declared its intent to take control over the makeup of the press pool. This announcement fundamentally changes the relationship between the Trump administration and the media, moving away from the long-held practices of the White House Correspondents Association, which many consider to be left-leaning.
The new strategy aims to empower a wider array of voices and journalists, including independent creators who had previously been sidelined. This represents a significant acknowledgment of the "network society" concept — a political landscape where control over information lies beyond the traditional media monopolies. The evolving media landscape will allow for a broader dissemination of information, directly challenging legacy media’s long-standing dominance.
Moreover, despite narratives painting Trump as authoritarian or unaccountable, statistics reveal a contrasting reality. During his latest term, Trump has been noted for exceeding former President Obama’s and President Biden's media engagement. The numbers show Trump taking over a thousand questions in his first month, dwarfing the numbers taken by his predecessors. This transparency has led to a growing public perception that Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises, reinforcing his support among voters.
The American public appears increasingly frustrated with conventional political narratives and the mainstream media, emphasizing a demand for authenticity and accountability. Polls pinpoint that more than two-thirds of the public believes Trump is effectively executing his agenda.
What is unfolding is not merely a shift in party dynamics but a broader political evolution where the interests and concerns of the populace are prioritized. Trump's political approach is manifesting as a catalyst for change in American politics. With newfound support among the electorate and a distinctive approach to media relations, Trump is positioning himself as a representative of the people's voices in this emerging political landscape. The coming years promise further realignment as Americans continue to assert their agency in choosing their political narrative.
With nearly four years left in his term, the potential for transformation and a strong reaction against elite narratives grounds the notion that we are witnessing the rise of a brave new political chapter in the United States.
Were all Romans barbarians because the games in the Coliseum were barbaric? I doubt it. Like any society, the Romans must have had a range of ethical and moral standards among the people. There must have been those who considered violence against human beings barbaric. We can’t say how many or what percentage, but any society includes those who oppose violence.
Now we come to the present day to ponder the following statement: “If there are barbarians now, then we have not become more civilized.” Alas, we can readily observe them operating in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Isn’t cutting off the hands of thieves, like the Saudis do, barbaric? This modern age, like the past, has a range of moral behavior from the “very civilized” of the west to “very uncivilized’ in some other parts of the world. I bet the majority of Americans would say we are the most civilized nation on the planet. After all, we’ve taken being civilized to the limit. We not only won’t kill people, we won’t insult them. In contemporary America, calling a person “fat” is uncivilized.
Why the Roman Republic Failed and What It Means to Us - Part V (last in the series)
We have talked about the fall of the Republic and the reasons for it, but have not analyzed what it means to us. To find meaning, we have to consider the problems of Rome and see if they apply today.
As we have said in previous posts, the central revolutionary drivers in the Republic were poor governance leading to a power vacuum, class instability, and the army as a kingmaker. Which of these issues, if any, could destroy the American Political System? To answer this question, we have to squint into the future. The United States has only existed half as long as the Roman Republic so it could be stable for a long time yet. The fact that there are no serious problems now should not lead one to believe the coast is clear for the future, however. In another century or two the American Political System could die from fatigue like so many others have done in the past.
Court Denies AP's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order
In a recent ruling, a federal judge denied the Associated Press’s (AP) emergency request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) concerning access to the White House. This decision followed closely after the AP sought immediate reinstatement of their privileges to report from the Oval Office, Air Force One, and other significant venues typically available to the White House Press pool.
The AP presented an argument asserting that their exclusion from prominent White House spaces was a violation of their constitutional rights, particularly the First Amendment. They contended that this restriction inflicted irreparable harm and urged the court to consider the public interest in having unrestricted access to presidential communications and events.
In their request, the AP lawyers highlighted that they believed they were likely to prevail on the merits of their case, suggesting that the administration's actions were unjust and harmful to their journalistic integrity. They claimed this ban impeded their ability to serve the public's right to know and was especially egregious given that other media outlets continued to maintain access.
Despite the AP’s appeals, the presiding judge, Trevor McFadden, found the organization did not meet the criteria necessary for a TRO. The court assessed the four essential factors typically examined in such motions: likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, balancing of equities, and public interest.
The conclusion drawn by the court was unequivocal; the AP failed to demonstrate the requisite showing necessary for relief. The judge’s succinct ruling noted that the AP had not effectively argued their case for immediate reinstatement.
Following the ruling, Caroline Levitt, a spokesperson for the White House, expressed satisfaction with the court's decision. She reiterated the stance that access to intimate spaces such as the Oval Office should be considered a privilege, not a right. Levitt highlighted the administration's commitment to diversifying media representation in the White House, signaling a shift in policy towards including a broader array of journalists beyond traditional outlets.
Levitt emphasized that the legacy media’s longstanding control over press access would be reevaluated. She stated that more deserving outlets, particularly those that demonstrate a commitment to accurate reporting, would be welcomed into the briefing room and have the opportunity to cover the presidency more comprehensively.
Levitt further detailed a forthcoming transformation in how the White House Press pool will be organized. The administration intends to expand opportunities for various media types, including independent journalists, podcasters, and local radio hosts. This change aims to ensure that a wider range of voices can participate in covering the presidency, allowing for increased representation of what she termed "well-suited" outlets.
As part of this overhaul, traditional cable news networks will still maintain access, but they will share the space with new media entities. This initiative reflects an ongoing interest in an evolving media landscape, where alternative platforms can provide coverage alongside established news organizations.
The recent ruling and the White House's strategic shift reveal a dynamic interplay between press freedom and governmental control over media narratives. While the AP's exclusion has raised concerns about transparency, the White House's plan to diversify media representation might pave the way for a more varied landscape of journalistic voices in presidential coverage.
As these changes unfold, it remains crucial to monitor their implications for the First Amendment, public discourse, and the vital role of journalism in democracy. The continuing tension between traditional outlets and new media will shape the future of political reporting and public access to information in the United States.
The Future Potential of Humanoid Robots: A Trillion-Dollar Market?
The discourse surrounding the future value of humanoid robots is heating up, stirring debate among analysts and enthusiasts alike. The conversation ranges from perspectives suggesting the robots may hold minimal economic value to those predicting they could ignite one of the most lucrative markets in history. Industry experts, including analysts like CERN Basher, envision extraordinary growth potential, while critics like Gary Black cast doubt, arguing the estimates could be significantly inflated.
The discussion begins with two distinct viewpoints. On one side, analysts like CERN Basher advocate for an expansive view of what humanoid robots can achieve in various sectors, predicting an immense market cap growth, possibly even reaching thousands of trillions of dollars. Elon Musk himself has echoed sentiments about the vast potential, positing that the robots' utility could dramatically reshape the economy.
In contrast, Gary Black presents a more cautious outlook. His analysis suggests that the potential of humanoid robots is being overestimated, urging investors to contextualize claims about market value against existing economic structures, such as the total market cap of the S&P 500, currently hovering around $53.9 trillion. Black cautions against optimistic projections that ignore fundamental economic principles, arguing for a need to assess demand rather than merely supply.
Proponents of humanoid robots argue that the total addressable market (TAM) is not only vast but also still largely unknown. Unlike conventional economic models that rely heavily on fixed parameters, the integration of AI and robotic labor could lead to unprecedented levels of productivity. Humanoid robots promise to perform tasks traditionally done by humans across a plethora of sectors, unlocking efficiency and creating entirely new markets.
For instance, Basher has identified various industries ripe for disruption, including healthcare, home services, entertainment, logistics, manufacturing, education, defense, and hospitality. The advantages of deploying humanoid robots are compelling—they cost less to operate than human workers, do not fall ill, do not require healthcare benefits, and can be deployed in virtually any environment without the complications that come with human labor force management.
It is crucial to understand that the real potential lies not only in replacing existing jobs but in significantly disrupting productivity and thereby driving global GDP growth. The fixed robots of today differ vastly from the autonomous and intelligent models of tomorrow, which could dramatically revolutionize various industries.
As Basher explains, the potential revenue generated by humanoid robots across diverse sectors could lead to previously unimaginable economic expansion. The rise of intelligent labor enabled by these robots could create markets that dwarf current industries.
One unanticipated opportunity for humanoid robots lies in their application within space exploration, particularly projects undertaken by SpaceX. The notion of mining resources such as water and helium-3 from celestial bodies presents vast economic potential. Helium-3, abundant on the Moon, could be used for fusion energy, opening up a new frontier in energy production. Estimates suggest that helium-3 on the moon could be valued between $2 to $15 trillion if practical fusion technology is developed.
Imagine a future where humanoid robots are deployed to operate in space, managing tasks associated with resource extraction, thereby fueling off-planet colonization. This scenario creates not just a new market but transforms our understanding of economic potential in the solar system.
While futuristic prospects are jaw-dropping, existing markets should not be underestimated. As Basher points out, luxury sectors currently employing human workers (like housekeepers or service staff) could see considerable growth as humanoid robots become more affordable. This expansion is predicted to be a hundred billion-dollar market as humanoid robots become commonplace, leading to cheaper, smarter, and more efficient labor across numerous sectors.
The conversation around humanoid robots is ultimately one of imagination. Detractors like Black are urged to recognize that this is not merely an upgrade to existing robotic applications; it is a fundamental transformation in how labor is conceived and executed. As new markets emerge and old ones expand exponentially, the growth potential appears boundless.
With advancements in AI and robotics, the perpetual demand for humanoid robots is expected to create an ecosystem that permits exponential growth in these industries. Economic models based solely on traditional benchmarks such as the S&P 500 may, in fact, limit one's understanding of what is truly achievable in this brave new world of intelligent labor.
As speculation mounts, it is impossible to ignore the profound implications humanoid robots may have—their emergence could redefine not only industries but the very fabric of our economy. If the predictions hold true, forthcoming challenges in market valuations and economic growth could make today's projections seem trivial by comparison. Ultimately, what lies ahead may shock us all.
The future of humanoid robots has the potential to reconfigure industries and unlock new revenue streams. Although apprehension exists regarding the market's true size, the arguments presented showcase a powerful narrative of opportunity and innovation. As the technology continues to evolve, we may find ourselves standing on the precipice of a new economic era, one characterized by unprecedented growth driven by the intelligent capabilities of humanoid robots.
The Quest for Immortality: A Journey into Extreme Health
In a world where innovations in medical science and technology seem to rewrite the rules of human longevity, one individual's radical approach sparks debate about our mortality. What if we are on the brink of a revolution in life extension? Some, like the subject of this discussion, believe our generation may indeed be the first to potentially escape death altogether.
In a discourse reminiscent of historical turning points, the speaker compares humanity's understanding of health to the ignorance that long held sway in the past. Just as 19th-century folks believed that infections were caused by "bad spirits," many today might dismiss the idea that microscopic entities—or more abstract concepts—could influence our lifespans. However, openness to new paradigms could lead to transformative ideas that might allow individuals to significantly extend their lives.
Facing criticism for his choices and accessibility, this individual seems to adopt the stance of a "human guinea pig," exploring advanced technologies such as gene therapy to uncover ways to extend life. Despite the financial hurdles associated with these treatments, he advocates for celebration rather than condemnation of those walking this cutting-edge path. He presents his health journey as a transparent project aimed at helping humanity make informed choices about their health. By sharing his results openly, he encourages a broader discussion about sustainable health practices.
While a substantial portion of feedback has been positive, some pushback inevitably arises. This person acknowledges that negative responses often garner more media attention. He argues that his extensive tracking of health biomarkers places him at the forefront of wellness—a claim he openly supports by sharing all of his data publicly. Instead of hiding behind a paywall, he believes in using his position to educate the masses, making his findings accessible to anyone who seeks to improve their health.
As the discussion shifts to the meticulous daily routines that define his approach to health, it becomes evident that the regimen is anything but ordinary. Rising at dawn, he utilizes strategic light exposure to set his circadian rhythm and boost mood. His mornings are a flurry of activities that include taking dozens of supplements, utilizing HRV therapy, engaging in intense workouts, consuming copious amounts of vegetables, and even adhering to sound therapy for hearing regeneration.
This intense regimen may seem overwhelming. Still, the individual insists that he finds joy in the process, viewing his quest for longevity as an exciting game rather than a burden. Contradicting the popular notion that health equates to deprivation, he asserts that his lifestyle affords him happiness, correlating well-being with healthy living rather than indulgence.
Among his strict principles, sleep emerges as a pivotal aspect of maintaining health. He emphasizes that sleep is crucial—a sentiment that runs counter to societal norms that often glorify sleeplessness. By tracking his heart rate before bed, he has discovered that even minor fluctuations can have significant implications for sleep quality. His approach—eating his final meal by 11 a.m. to promote better digestion before sleep—is a cornerstone of his health philosophy.
His anecdote resonates with many who find comfort in snacking late at night at the expense of sleep quality. This person's insights challenge common habits, advocating for prioritizing sleep as a pathway to both physical and mental health.
The conversation continues to navigate personal choices, touching on familiar temptations like sugary treats. One participant reflects on recent indulgences, sharing her experience of poor sleep as a consequence of late-night snacking. This candid exchange reveals a broader struggle faced by many in balancing pleasure and discipline in their health journeys.
As the conversation closes, the overarching theme remains clear: a shift in mindset toward health as a proactive endeavor rather than a reactionary one. By embracing a rigorous, data-driven approach to wellness, this individual's journey poses critical questions about human potential and the very concept of mortality. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented advancements and discoveries, the exploration of what it means to live well—and perhaps even forever—continues to unfold.
The quest for extending human life is as much about scientific innovation as it is about a profoundly human desire to experience existence to its fullest. This journey into extreme health practices serves not only as a personal narrative but also as a potential blueprint for future generations navigating the complex tapestry of life and longevity.
The Rising Tide of Crime in New York City: An Escalating Threat
As crime once again finds its footing in New York City, residents are becoming increasingly alarmed. A recent series of purse snatching incidents on the Upper East Side highlights not only the desperation of the criminals but also the inadequacies of the local law enforcement. With a persistent wave of crime sweeping the city, it seems that lawlessness is becoming an unsettling norm.
The recent blitz of purse snatching has many residents feeling vulnerable. Police are currently investigating a crew of masked men who have been ambushing women, including a shocking incident involving a 71-year-old victim. This attack reflects a worrying trend of increased violence and opportunistic crime amidst a backdrop of under-resourced policing.
Witnesses to crime detail a group of sledgehammer-wielding thieves targeting businesses without any apparent fear of repercussions. Increasingly brazen attacks are occurring not just at night but during busy times of the day. With police resources being diverted to combat crime in the subway, these lower-risk street crimes have skyrocketed, leading to a state of heightened anxiety among the general public.
The landscape of crime in the city is further complicated by a justice system perceived to be "soft" on crime. Reports suggest that habitual offenders face little deterrence from the law, as arrests lead to quick releases courtesy of programs like supervised release, which fails to keep crime at bay. This creates a relentless cycle where criminals, buoyed by their lack of consequences, feel emboldened to commit more crime.
As insurance costs rise alongside crime rates, small businesses are caught in a bind. Thieves know they can swipe items easily, and the lack of accountability only fuels their reckless abandon. Burglaries occur in broad daylight, and unless a significant change is made to the legal footing of these actions, the cycle is unlikely to stop.
Changing Dynamics of Crime
High-end neighborhoods like Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where average rent surpasses $4,000, have not sheltered residents from this surge in criminal activity. Cardiologist Ellen Melo and other victims have felt the dangers acutely as they navigate their own neighborhoods, once considered safe.
With crimes becoming increasingly targeted rather than opportunistic, perpetrators are no longer restricting themselves to store fronts; they are now looking to ambush individuals based only on the potential rewards of their possessions. Surveillance footage from various incidents illustrates a recognizable and persistent pattern of operation.
The crux of the problem lies in a systemic failure of law enforcement and judicial practices. With a rising tolerance for theft and robbery, those who adhere to societal laws find themselves at the mercy of repeat offenders who operate without fear of imprisonment. New York City's progressive district attorney's office, often criticized for its leniency, faces backlash as crime rates continue to spiral upward. Despite the concerns, it appears the DA is headed for re-election, which raises questions about the electorate's understanding of the connection between escalating crime and lack of accountability.
Businesses are left scrambling to protect themselves, often investing in costly security measures that do little to deter crime. While a jewelry store was successfully protected by high-tech glass during one brazen daytime robbery, the cost of maintaining such measures adds pressure to their profitability.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
The situation in New York City underscores a crucial crossroad: either revisit the existing policies governing crime and punishment or continue down a path that renders law-abiding citizens as easy targets for criminal activity. As public safety hangs in the balance, the question remains: will the city take decisive actions to change its trajectory, or will it continue to glide along the precarious line of complacency?
As desperate criminals find glamour in their exploits and escape their consequences, the general populace becomes a mere bystander, living in fear within their own neighborhoods. The time for reflection and action is now. New Yorkers deserve to reclaim their streets and reignite a sense of security in their lives.
Government Reforms and Deficit Reduction: A Focus on Fraud and Waste
The recent dialogue surrounding government reform initiatives has underscored the urgency of addressing rampant fraud, waste, and inefficiency within governmental systems. Central to this initiative is a significant push led by prominent figures like Elon Musk and government officials, aimed at achieving substantial cost savings, potentially reaching one trillion dollars. The ambitious goals suggest a pivot towards more effective budget management, reminiscent of fiscal discipline that had been absent for decades.
There is a renewed sense of optimism about the possibility of balancing the federal budget, a notion previously considered unattainable. Discussions center around cutting billions from unnecessary expenditures, and raising the bar for accountability within government agencies. The administration's resolve seeks to uncover and eliminate fraud and inefficiencies, making budgetary control a key priority.
A fascinating element of this reform initiative includes the involvement of Dogecoin as a tool for improving government operations. Elon Musk defined his role as "CPL tech support," outlining how the Doge team is working to modernize antiquated government computer systems. These systems, often unreliable and fragmented, contribute to financial mismanagement. Musk emphasized that the national debt's interest has now surpassed defense spending, climbing to staggering levels that threaten governmental stability.
The overarching goal is to cut down on the $2 trillion deficit, with an ambitious target of finding up to a trillion dollars in savings—around 15% of the existing $7 trillion budget. Musk highlighted that achieving such savings is not just beneficial but essential; without action, the risk of national bankruptcy looms large.
Integral to this reform is a proactive approach to government employment. Recent communications have called into question the performance and very existence of certain government employees, with a specific focus on those who may not have been fulfilling their roles effectively. The efforts have included sending out emails asking federal employees to report on their recent contributions. Surprisingly, the response rate revealed that a significant number, around half, of employees hadn’t either responded or seemed unaccounted for.
President Trump reinforced this sentiment, suggesting that anyone who hasn’t responded could potentially be in jeopardy of being terminated. There is an ongoing assessment to determine who among the federal workforce is contributing meaningfully to their roles, with an emphasis on removing those who may be inefficacious or fictitious entities collecting paychecks.
Facing the Challenge of Accountability
Addressing a question about potential dissatisfaction within the cabinet regarding these initiatives, officials assured that the majority view aligns positively with the current reforms. President Trump praised his cabinet as one of the most capable in history, which sets a context for these dramatic personnel and structural changes.
Musk added clarity to the strategy behind the employee evaluations, intending not merely to hold a performance review but to gauge the problem of non-responsiveness within the government. The aim is to identify individuals that may either be deceased or entirely fictitious, as such entities should not be receiving taxpayer funds.
The Path Forward: Saving Amidst Reforms
Ultimately, this push for reform is not just a bureaucratic overhaul but a vital step towards restoring trust in government spending. As reforms progress, significant cuts are anticipated including those made by individual agencies assessing their own workforces. The concerted effort aims to expedite the process of eliminating inefficiencies to ensure taxpayer dollars are utilized appropriately.
In summary, the ongoing initiatives encapsulate a pivotal moment for government accountability, with modern tools and a renewed drive towards fiscal responsibility pushing the narrative of a country on the brink of significant positive change. The cooperation between innovative tech and government strategy signals a potential turning point for how America manages its finances and public service responsibilities moving forward.
Yankees Spring Training: A Quiet Camp with Intriguing Storylines
As spring training unfolds, the atmosphere around the New York Yankees' camp has been relatively calm. In an interview with Eric, a beat writer for Newsday, discussions revolved around key players, potential trades, and the changes in team dynamics, all of which are essential to the Yankees' aspirations for the upcoming season.
Spring training typically brings a lot of excitement, and this year is no different, though the drama has been less intense compared to past years. Eric noted that this was his 17th year covering the Yankees, and by his standards, the current camp is quiet. The absence of John Carlos Stanton due to personal reasons is felt, but aside from that, the controversies are minimal. Particularly notable was the recent press surrounding Marcus Stroman, a newcomer with a reputation for being a difficult teammate elsewhere but has quickly become a beloved figure in the Yankees’ clubhouse.
Marcus Stroman's assertion that he is a starter sparked headlines lately, prompting questions about his role on the team. Eric emphasized that this statement is rooted in truth; Stroman's track record of ten successful years as a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) backs up his claim. Currently, the Yankees feature five starters ahead of him: Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, Nestor Cortes, Clarke Schmidt, and Domingo Germán. Should they all remain healthy throughout spring training, it will pose an interesting dilemma for the Yankees regarding Stroman's future with the team.
As Eric pointed out, however, the unpredictable nature of health in MLB means that the Yankees may yet require Stroman’s services. A situation like this raises questions: What happens if all five starters perform well? The stock answer often given is that it will work itself out, but as Eric highlighted, this is not always the case. The dynamics of players being traded and injuries across the league could help define Stroman's position in the roster.
The Yankees faced a significant loss with the departure of Juan Soto to the New York Mets. Though some believe the Yankees could be stronger top-to-bottom this year, opposing teams feel relieved that the formidable duo of Soto and Aaron Judge will no longer terrorize their pitching rotations. Eric provided insight into how opposing teams viewed Soto and Judge as a unique challenge that could disrupt game strategy, a dynamic that will no longer be present.
Despite the changes, Eric remained optimistic about the Yankees' capacity to adjust. With emerging players and potential new signings in the mix, there is uncertainty, but also excitement surrounding how the lineup will establish itself as the season progresses.
Another subplot gaining traction involves potential trades for players like Nolan Arenado, who is reportedly open to moving to a competitive team such as the Yankees. Although finances and current salaries are a concern, Eric noted that the Yankees may pursue this option should a trade for Stroman materialize. This potential acquisition could add depth and experience to the roster, fulfilling both the Yankees' needs for a third baseman and a powerful bat in the lineup.
The Changing Face of the Yankees: Grooming and Policies
An interesting aspect of the current camp is the recent change in the Yankees' grooming policy, traditionally known for being strict. Under new leadership, it appears that the team is softening its stance on facial hair and other personal expressions. Aaron Judge spoke about the significance of this change, indicating that players should be free to express themselves and that a player's decision to join the Yankees shouldn't hinge on grooming policies.
While it may not seem significant to some, Eric and others believe these changes could have long-term implications for the team culture and overall appeal, especially among younger fans. It signals a shift towards a more inclusive and flexible environment that adjusts to contemporary values.
As the New York Yankees move further into spring training, the combination of relatively low drama, key players' adjustments, and significant personnel changes shapes a unique narrative for the team this season. From dealing with the potential of starting pitcher Marcus Stroman to adapting to the loss of Juan Soto, every development counts. The blend of traditional values and modern changes in grooming policies promises to create an intriguing atmosphere as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Eric's insights shed light on a multifaceted team dynamic that could play a crucial role in determining the Yankees' success or challenges this year.
In the meantime, let us consider Rome’s problems directly. I see poor governance as an issue today; particularly if paired with class instability. I don’t see the military as a factor. The American Armed Forces have no tradition of opposition to our political system and the fact that they report to the President makes for a strong link to the national government.
Bureaucracy is a risk factor. Max Weber considered bureaucracy as one of the great evils of the modern capitalist society. He saw its dangers as the de-personalization of humanity and the rise of a structure designed to serve its own interests rather than those of policy makers. The more socialist the society, the more bureaucratic it must become -- interesting in light of the current debate over the role of government put forward by the Obama administration. Because bureaucracy can’t be undone, it threatens to use up dollars that should go to recipients of the programs the bureaucracy was created to help.
The Disconnect in the WNBA: A Closer Look at Economics and Reality
The ongoing struggles of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) have sparked a passionate dialogue about economics, market demand, and the realities of professional sports. The players appear to possess a fundamental misunderstanding of economic concepts, particularly relating to supply, demand, and the value of their product. This article examines these ideas and their implications for the future of women's basketball.
With a growing number of players and games, the WNBA's supply might be plentiful. However, the critical issue lies in the apparent lack of demand for the product. Despite an increase in visibility, efforts to promote lesser-known players, and celebrations of individuals like Diana Taurasi, the question remains: are these tactics translating to sustained viewership and attendance? The concept of demand is essential here—the lack of audience engagement raises significant concerns about the viability of the WNBA moving forward.
Taurasi's retirement, while celebrated by the league and its players, raises more questions than it answers. As the "greatest of all time" within a niche field, can Taurasi's accolades truly be compared with global giants of sports like Michael Jordan or Tom Brady? The disparity between the leagues and the career achievements of WNBA players emphasizes a bigger narrative—one that may not resonate with a broader audience. When retirement games don't fill arenas, the implications for the league's bottom line become increasingly dire.
As the WNBA approaches another season, player demands for higher salaries bring to light a broader issue. With reported losses in the tens of millions, the pressure from players for significant raises begs the question: what have they done to earn such increases? The expectations of players, like Natasha Cloud, in the face of waning revenues suggest a deep disconnect from reality.
Caitlyn Clark, a standout athlete currently capturing media attention, serves as a touchstone for discussing player compensation. However, the reliance on a single player’s drawing power raises further concerns about the sustainability of the league. Should Clark, or any players, falter, the consequences would be detrimental.
As players voice their grievances, often through social media and public outbursts, it alienates a segment of their audience. Complaining about salaries despite low ticket sales does not foster goodwill among existing or potential fans. Instead of promoting engagement, the focus shifts toward conflict, which might further dissuade viewers from investing time and money in the league.
The Future of the WNBA: A Fragile Framework
The trajectory of the WNBA appears uncertain. With players poised to demand unprecedented salaries amidst reports of annual losses, there’s a risk of creating a toxic environment across the league. If unaddressed, the situation could lead to labor disputes or even the threat of canceled games, reminiscent of struggles in other sports leagues.
The situation facing the WNBA brings to light the essential need for realistic evaluation and strategic planning within the league. As athletes claim to champion progress and represent their brand, a collective push towards sustainability rather than entitlement may yield better results. As professional athletes navigate complex economic landscapes, embracing the basic principles of market dynamics—while engaging their audience positively—could turn the tide for women’s basketball in the years to come.
In the coming months, fans and stakeholders alike will need to watch closely as the WNBA negotiates its future, balancing player aspirations against economic realities. The challenge lies in finding a path forward that respects the athletes' contributions while ensuring the long-term viability of the league itself.
Caesar Against Vercingetorix – The Siege of Alesia
In 52 B.C. Julius Caesar, near the end of his war against Gaul, had one great enemy left in his path – Vercingetorix. The latter was a young Arvernian - charismatic, confident, and incited against Rome. Expelled from Gergovia, for being too rash, Vercingetorix raised an army on his own, and assumed the role of commander. His strategy against Caesar was simple -- use superior cavalry to harass the Romans and drive them away. Caesar, understanding his own weakness, compensated by recruiting Germans to strengthen his own cavalry units. Then, after a series of reversals, Vercingetorix was forced to retreat to the walled city of Alesia for protection. Alesia had a five mile perimeter wall six feet high with a trench in front of it. The surrounding terrain favored the defenders because it was uneven with many hills and small rivers.
Emotional attachment is often regarded as one of the most significant forces binding human relationships. Despite its profound implications, the nuances of emotional bonds between individuals can be difficult to grasp. The unpredictability of these connections becomes even more evident when one partner decides to leave, and the impact of that decision echoes long after.
In the scenario of a woman leaving her husband, the residual emotional attachment can sometimes manifest in surprising ways. It raises questions: why do they come back, and what are their intentions? Often, a spouse may leave due to dissatisfaction or struggles of their own, creating a territory of unaddressed issues, including resentment and lost respect. This backdrop complicates the reunion when the partner reaches back out after years apart.
The experience of separation can be both shocking and revelatory, especially when one spouse unexpectedly seeks emotional support from the other post-divorce. Such encounters may stir deep feelings of nostalgia and compel individuals to reconsider their past relationships. However, as illustrated through personal anecdotes, these moments often mask underlying patterns of manipulation and control.
As one explores the nature of these post-separation interactions, it becomes apparent that they may serve a dual purpose. On one hand, the person reaching out may indeed be in crisis and genuinely need support; on the other hand, there lies an element of testing the waters—reinforcing one's power and influence over the other. This dynamic can manifest as revisiting old memories and reminiscing about the past, selectively revisiting times of happiness while conveniently glossing over the negativity that was present.
It is crucial to recognize that when a person returns to their partner after a breakup, they may unwittingly be attempting to reclaim emotional control. This may not always be a conscious act; it can stem from the deep-seated need for validation and assurance that they still have a place of safety to return to, regardless of the past turmoil.
The Risk of Rekindling
Engaging with an ex-partner, especially after a tumultuous separation, poses significant risks. The fear of re-entering a relationship where one partner holds emotional leverage can lead to a cycle of unhealthy dynamics. The returning partner, recognizing their vast influence over their ex, may reinforce their control through a combination of charm and emotional manipulation.
This control can become especially prominent when a partner returns for emotional reasons while disregarding the necessary and often painful discussions that need to occur. It becomes imperative for the individual on the receiving end to not only recognize these patterns but also guard against the temptation to revert to old dynamics.
Reclaiming Personal Power
To navigate the emotional maze that follows a relationship's end, one must establish a sense of self and avoid falling into the trap of emotional dependency. It is vital to prioritize self-worth and recognize that returning to a previous partner typically does not lead to healing or growth. Instead, the potential for renewed cycles of disappointment and emotional distress often emerges.
Furthermore, if children are involved, it is essential to create boundaries that limit emotional entanglement while maintaining necessary communication. However, the responsibility does not fall on one partner alone; it is a shared challenge that requires vigilance from both.
Conclusion: The Long Journey Towards Self-Reliance
Understanding that emotional attachment can be a powerful weakness serves as a guide for those navigating post-relationship dynamics. The journey toward reclaiming personal power lies in recognizing manipulative patterns and choosing self-preservation over fleeting nostalgia.
As individuals confront the complexities of emotional attachment, the message remains clear: maintaining distance from ex-partners is critical to fostering a healthier, more independent future. While the bonds of the past may always linger, the key to moving forward lies in the decision to heal and cultivate self-reliance.
Stay strong, and remember that while emotional bonds are indeed powerful, they can also be navigated successfully with self-awareness and determination. Avoid rekindling relationships that have burned down—embrace the opportunity for personal growth that lies ahead.

It's not acceptable for the developer to purchase 80% of the supply using personal funds and then burn it to create a fair launch. However, it's considered fine for the developer to continuously dump tokens and exit with a decent profit.
There are several examples in the cryptocurrency space that illustrate both scenarios mentioned by @thebnbbull.
The case of SushiSwap, where the developer, Chef Nomi, was accused of dumping tokens, is an example of a developer continuously selling off their holdings.
On the other hand, the Glitter Finance project is an example of a developer purchasing a large portion of the supply and then burning it to create a fair launch.
Key Takeaways
These examples highlight the complexities and potential issues with token distribution and developer involvement in cryptocurrency projects.
It's essential to carefully evaluate the tokenomics and developer intentions before investing in any cryptocurrency project.
Moving Forward
It will be interesting to see how the cryptocurrency space evolves in terms of token distribution and developer involvement.
As the space continues to grow, it's crucial to prioritize transparency and fairness in token launches and distribution.

Thank you!!
When I first started they said you could reset of you have master key and peak can be great to do that... Not too experienced though but that's how much I know. Oh and if I have keystore then the phrase
If you already have the keys I think there is a way to do that. I read a bunch of articles last time when I was looking a way to get the keys to my keystore account. I think peadk has the function. You should browse about it to see some Hive articles on how to do it.
I think one of the hardest hurdles to overcome with regards to building an HBD marketplace is that most of us at Hive are either below average income in our country and struggling， from countries where a few HBD can go a long way.....and then a bunch of us are just stingy 🙃
lol yeah... I know.
Also the difference in country makes it a little difficult for someone like me to earn money here. My classes in Tokyo cost $35 which is completely reasonable and any less would make it hard to survive.... I'm trying to offer Japanese practice and tutoring on subscriptions for $5 and I think that's too much for some people....
Seriously though, if I wanted to survive on that, I'd need 400 subscribers lol....
Personally, if I have a place where I can spend HBD directly, I will gladly take advantage of it. Another thing is that there are no many Hive users in most places for someone to get patronage.
And I just thought about how I wasted so much time on Facebook and Instagram when I could have been on a platform like this where my engagement can bring rewards

I may not earn a living from it, but after getting to know enough people, $5-15 a day for organizing my thoughts and improving my craft isn't bad! It adds up, and sometimes compounds.

Exploring the Haunted Selma Mansion: A Journey Into the Unknown
As we step into the haunting ambiance of Selma Mansion, located in Norristown, Pennsylvania, it becomes clear that this historic building is laden with stories—both from its past inhabitants and the spirits that seemingly linger within its walls. The mansion has garnered a reputation for being a hotspot for ghostly encounters, and as our investigation begins, we delve into the eerie experiences that have perplexed and captivated visitors over the years.
On our journey through the mansion, we hear tales from the caretaker who describes interactions with what seems to be a grumpy spirit. This spirit, described as an old resident, is known for throwing things—not with malice, but seemingly in a playful manner. One haunting incident recounted involves a violent encounter with a flying fence post that made contact with someone's back. Rather than succumbing to fear, the caretaker responded angrily, indicating a certain familiarity with the house's ghostly inhabitants.
The basement, often shrouded in darkness, has been the stage for many reported encounters. Here, reflections of the past collide with present day, as the caretaker reiterates reports of a female spirit, Martha, who has been sighted in the kitchen area, dressed in period attire. Her presence is felt through the ringing of doorbells that echo when no one is present, a sign of a heartbeat lingering from times long gone.
Interactive Spirits: The Presence of Mrs. Cornelius
The second floor offers a different energy, particularly in what has been dubbed "Mrs. Cornelius' room." Visitors often remark upon experiencing a feeling of warmth and tenderness associated with this particular spirit. Flowers, specifically roses, hold significant meaning; guests are encouraged to bring them as gestures of goodwill, and many report feelings of being hugged or communicated with in return.
Echoes of laughter from children on the upper levels of the mansion add to the unique tapestry of energies within Selma Mansion. The children's laughter, often marked by playful movements—such as toys mysteriously rolling on their own—captures a sense of innocence and nostalgia, further enveloping the investigators in a veil of mystery.
As our investigation steers towards the potentially perilous third floor, we are warned of a more aggressive spirit that has been known to assert its presence through pushing and banging doors. There's an inexplicable unease about visiting this area alone, and it is advised to remain in groups. The atmosphere shifts; a gentler spirit on the previous levels feels overshadowed by a masculine presence that fields a sense of protective authority.
Michelle, a psychic featured during our exploration, describes sensing various spirits throughout the mansion—insubstantial echoes of individuals who have passed through the space and left their imprints on this historic dwelling. Her intuition hints that the atmosphere carries both mischievous and mischievous elements, blurring the lines between harmless play and more aggressive intentions.
With the floor layout scouted and the equipment set for investigation, our team prepares to tap into the unseen energies within Selma Mansion. As a haunting yet familiar smell fills the air on entering, we each take steps to share our previous encounters and the strange sensations felt. A historical absence of documented experiences allows for a fresh perspective—free from preconceived notions about which locations within the mansion are truly the most active.
The expedition is anything but routine, as one member recounts their past experience of hearing breathy voices echoing in the vicinity, confirming that they were indeed not alone. This personal connection underscores not just the intrigue of the mansion’s legends but also the bonds forged between those connected to its history and the spirits that now fill its halls.
The investigation leads us toward the basement, an extremely unsettling yet undeniably fascinating place. As members of the team venture deeper into this area, they later reflect on the strangeness of their experiences, unable to shake the feeling that they are never truly alone. Each nook and cranny of this opulent mansion holds a memory, representing the lives once lived and the spirits striving for remembrance.
As the exploration concludes, a consensus arises regarding the interaction between the past and the present. The Selma Mansion stands not only as a historical monument but as a living testament to the uncanny occurrences experienced by countless individuals. The lingering spirits, both gentle and grumpy, help articulate a larger narrative—a mixture of life, laughter, and tales yet to be told.
In essence, Selma Mansion's allure as a haunted house does not solely rely on its ghostly inhabitants. Instead, it becomes a reflection of human history intertwined with the supernatural, beckoning adventurers and paranormal enthusiasts to step inside and uncover the secrets held within its haunted walls. Here, every creaking floorboard whispers tales of yore, every whisper of the wind might be a spectral invitation, and every visit to the mansion becomes an emblematic journey into the vast unknown.
Exploring the Haunted Basement: An Investigation into the Unknown
In a world where the supernatural often intertwines with reality, the allure of ghost hunting and paranormal investigations brings people together in pursuit of understanding what lies beyond the veil of the living. Join Heather and Katrina on their recent adventure as they delve into the mysteries of an old Pennsylvania house, uncovering strange sensations, eerie sounds, and potential spirits lingering in the shadows.
The investigation starts in the basement, a dark and foreboding space filled with an air of uncertainty. Armed with basic equipment—a Polaroid camera, audio recorders, and an REM pod for detecting disturbances—the two friends embark on their journey. They are acutely aware of the atmosphere around them, noting a palpable intensity that comes alive in the absence of light.
Once they settle into the basement, both Heather and Katrina express feelings of unease. Even the seemingly innocuous arrangement of a circle of chairs sends shivers down their spines. Heather describes a distinctive cold breeze brushing against her arm, a stark contrast to the warmth of the summer day outside, underscoring the eerie dichotomy of the environment. The air feels stagnant yet charged, as if a watchful presence sits silently among them.
As they attempt to reach out to whatever may dwell in the basement, a distant noise interrupts their musings, resembling a snapping sound echoing from an adjacent room. The investigators demonstrate a blend of curiosity and humor as they playfully suggest the possibility of a shadowy figure creeping toward them. However, Katrina's exploration reveals a more profound connection as she begins to sense different energies—entities that seem both human and disoriented by the changing landscape around them.
Katrina's impressions lead her to believe there are layers of communication amidst the residual energy that permeates the basement. She expresses her belief in the presence of spirits from various time periods, including a younger male and a female spirit, hinting at an intriguing history yet to be uncovered. The duo decides to explore the second floor next, driven by the feelings of intensity that had initially drawn Heather’s attention.
Their investigation shifts to the second floor, where they immediately notice a stark difference in ambiance. The rooms contain distinct scents reminiscent of old perfumes, concocting a sense of nostalgia and mystery. As they probe further, Heather's experience in the building prompts her to imagine the property in its prime—an older time before bustling roads and modern dwellings overshadowed what once might have been a cherished home.
The investigation becomes an interactive experience as both women openly invite any potential spirits to alert them of their presence. Armed with playful suggestions of games such as hide and seek or copycat, they engage with the energies around them, hoping to evoke any form of response. They ask the spirits to ring bells or knock in acknowledgement, and though the atmosphere feels electrified with anticipation, no direct replies emerge.
As they prepare to undertake solo investigations, a familiar sensation returns—the unmistakable chill that follows one’s instincts when something is amiss. The duo hypothesizes that a solitary experience might provoke a different type of interaction with whatever may exist in the house. They separate, venturing into the creaking rooms alone in hopes of harnessing their vulnerability to attract more paranormal phenomena.
As Heather embarks on her solo journey, she too encounters the inexplicable cold breezes that had previously haunted Katrina. A sense of unease permeates, but also a thrilling curiosity about what may answer her call. The invisible line between their world and the next blurs, and in the haunting silence of the house, there remains a yearning for understanding—a desire to make contact and dissect the enigmas that linger.
While the investigation does not yield conclusive answers, it encapsulates the essence of paranormal hunting—the communion between the living and the lost. Heather and Katrina's experience together in the old Pennsylvania house unravels layers of the past, inviting both fear and fascination as they strive to comprehend energies dancing just beyond sight. As they leave the building, the echoes of their adventure linger in their minds, a testament to the unexplainable mysteries hidden within forgotten walls.
Exploring the Haunting of Selma Mansion: A Paranormal Investigation
The thrill of the unknown captivates many, especially those drawn to the art of ghost hunting. In a recent investigation at the Selma Mansion, two paranormal enthusiasts, Heather and Katrina, embarked on a journey to uncover potential supernatural activity. With a blend of emotion, tension, and unexpected encounters, the duo documented their compelling experiences through video and audio recordings.
The night began with Heather finding herself alone in a seemingly abandoned mansion, with her investigative partner, Katrina, outside. Feeling a strong energy within the children’s room, Heather set the stage for her exploration. With an array of props, including trigger objects and a motion sensor, she aimed to provoke communication from any lingering spirits.
As she initiated her EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recording, she asked simple yet powerful questions, such as “Are there any little kids up here?” The haunting atmosphere intensified as Heather reported unusual electronic noises, amplifying her sense of curiosity. The ping of her motion sensor only heightened her anticipation, making it clear that something—whether physical or metaphysical—was occurring.
Soon after setting up her gear, Heather returned to her initial location, hoping for a connection with the spirits. With a photo of a woman and some flowers as potential triggers for activity, she asked questions meant to draw out the ghostly inhabitants.
Feeling the presence of a gentle breeze on her arm—akin to what Katrina previously experienced—Heather sought further interaction, requesting that the spirit could make its presence known through touch. However, the ensuing EVP playback revealed an unsettling silence, leaving her yearning for confirmation of the paranormal stories surrounding the mansion.
In a playful challenge to the spirit, she called for Katrina, hoping that the energy might respond more positively to her friend as she relinquished the space to her partner.
With Heather's exploration concluded, it was Katrina's turn to conduct her solo investigation. Nearly overwhelmed, she expressed her discomfort and nervousness, yet remained determined to engage. In an attempt to connect with the spirit realm, she sought a response to her inquiries, encouraging any presence to showcase their existence through knocks or the motion sensor apparatus.
Shortly into her investigation, Katrina heard distinct footsteps echoing in the hallway. Heightened by the presence of chill-inducing energy, she wrestled with the unnerving feeling of being closely watched. The atmosphere around her suggested that the spirits were aware of her presence and, as if on cue, she experienced another cold breeze brushing against her wrist.
Feeling propelled by the unknown, Katrina ascended to the third floor, where she encountered more sounds and whispers. Reporting the sensation of movement below, she deliberated on whether these spirit connections were more pronounced due to the mansion's fluid energy of the night—a dance between silence and expression.
She noted how the spirits' presence ebbed and flowed, suggesting that the outcomes of each encounter may vary from night to night. The palpable energy in the building swirled around her, evoking the sense of being in a living space that housed remnants of past lives.
After the individual investigations, Heather and Katrina regrouped to share their findings. They highlighted overlapping sensations, rooms of interest, and noted the prevalent feeling of a protective spirit—a woman perhaps tied rhythmically to the mansion and its legacy of children.
Through digital equipment, the duo attempted to establish communication with this protective figure, weaving the threads of their experiences into one cohesive narrative. As they delved deeper, they both felt a mix of intrigue and respect for the home, acknowledging that the spirits seemed comfortable yet also guarded.
As the investigation drew to a close, both investigators reflected on the dynamic nature of Selma Mansion. They recognized that while the location might not have been aggressively haunted, it undoubtedly held significance and a connection to its past inhabitants.
Exiting the mansion, Heather and Katrina shared a mutual agreement that the mansion reflected a unique blend of protective energy, offering both warmth and an eerie allure. Emphasizing the mansion's role as a home, they left feeling validated in their experiences—convinced that the spirits of Selma Mansion would continue to intrigue and engage those who dared to seek them out.
Through their investigation, Heather and Katrina illuminated the profound connection between humanity and the afterlife, reminding all who enter Selma Mansion that history still breathes within its walls, waiting to share its stories.
A friend that just registered through Keystore is trying to set up her account through Ecency but it's not going through. Tried accessing her downloaded keys to copy the private keys but file can't be opened.
What would she do?
#feedback
she should have copied the seed phrase and the hive keys when she signed up.
The file downloaded with keystore is not a keys file.
If she didn't copied the keys as promoted she can still get them by importing the keys to keychain using the username and the seed phrase since that is the master key.
yes, that is the purpose of the keystore file. You have to use the file and the encryption password to log in. But the seed phrase has to be copied and stored apart.
If there is no capture and no copy of the seed phrase, that account is lost
It cannot work. Here is how to get the active key for the account. On inleo, go to drop down menu and select premium, chose the Leo as the option for payment, click as if you want to initiate the payment, on the next page you will see your active key. Copy it and use it to sign up on hivesingner to login ecency or peadk.
not possible I'll be with you everyday I'm alive and on Inleo bro... I basically check my following feed so I see all my new friends also with the kind of support u gave me, I can't forget
My brain started to worry about money again today....I have 4 classes total this week. That's down from 20 when things were going well. Next week I have 13, which is just enough to survive.
I know things will work out but damn.... the universe is testing me again.
I am wondering if I should just sell a big portion of my crypto during the next big pump. I think we should start our shop as soon as possible. Maybe move the plan from March 2026 to August 2025. Would suck to say goodbye to that much crypto though :-(
I think it's a great idea if the shop yields a bigger profit or it's something of greater passion, a perfect plan. Also as long as I have a significant amount of crypto stored it's great
Well depending on the markets, I may have to sell 3/5 of my crypto to make it happen. It would be devastating to me but I think it'd allow us to build a future where right now, we are just kind of barely scraping by and drained by other work.
3/5 is a lot but I believe it's absolutely worth the risk... Sorry for late reply on this, kinda didn't see notifications for this particular response earlier
I think it is smart to have a plan what to do with your crypto funds. If you dream is to open a store - I would not hesitate if my crypto allow me to pursue my dream!
True.... I would hate to sell more than half, it kind of destroys my plan to be able to retire early, but it also allows me to pursue my dreams. I was hoping I could pursue my dreams AND have the option to retire at any time, but the universe may have other plans for me.
I will think about this. We are starting one way or another in the next 12 months. If I can do it without selling I will, but it's happening either way.
The universe is resistant to change. It has to be in order to hold itself together. That's why it tests us, to make sure our vibration is sturdy enough and devoted enough to the life we want to create.
If you ever see an unpleasant pattern in life, that's the test. Don't let it make you doubt yourself. You can change your plan but only from a place of "FUCK YEAH, LET'S DO THIS!"
I think it just requires a decision that you are going to beat the hell out of whatever keeps getting in your way. As soon as you start getting depressed or negative about it, it has you and you gotta break free as quickly as possible. Accept it, and then put all your energy where you believe your energy will have the best effect.

I am so excited!! Accomplished my annual $LEO goal on 02/26/2025! Going to keep it building and move on to my next goal.
This year is going to rock!!
Which was?
One million LP!! 🤑 😀
That's insane. So Leo at 1 dollar equals a million dollars. Omg
Now I just have to hold on tight and spread 'em!
Guess I'm joking here, currently at 100 leo
There are levels indeed
That is a lot of $LEO, currently at 11700, and buying some more!
Buy it often. Power it up!!
wow!!! 1m leo power!! Congrats
Woohoohoooooooo!!
Well done! 👏
Time to set new more ambitious goal ;)
Yes. I have HIVE/HBD goals to start then on to other $LEO goals!
Have a feeling you will hit all your goals!
Thank you!!
I just posted a question about this. Any chance you can share some insight into this out of your own experience? I'm trying to figure out what is good to hold on the Hive blockchain and for what reasons.
Well I hold lots of things, but as far as "good" to hold..I am not really sure. 😀
Sort of my order
LEO
HIVE - most of which I will delegate to @leo.voter for the return in LEO 😀
HBD
After that, I don't know.
I like CENT because there are so many pools where you can earn a pretty good return.
Some of the income tokens seem good, but I have not really delved into them yet.
My problem before has been chasing rabbits, so part of my goals this year are to laser focus on LEO/HIVE/HBD and build something that can help me transition to my "retirement" years (though I doubt I will actually retire).
I also want to put more of my day to day financial activities on HIVE and get to the point where the blockchain becomes my bank.
Those are good goals, thank you for your insight, I believe I'm on the right path as I also feel I should focus more on Leo/Hive/HBD.
I'm sure you'll be able to retire, you just won't want to, I mean, it's better to be active right?
I am not really fond of the idea of traditional retirement, but I am fond of the idea of being able to.
I totally know what you mean, it's like an opportunity of working on more of the things you really love. also good time to go fishing lol
LOL!! I am not a big fisherman, but have always wanted to become a sailor!
Sounds expensive, I hope you bags do well by then
I have read that it can be done relatively cheaply, but you can't do all of the fancy stuff.
Most say it is expensive though. A boat needs fixing a lot and needs a lot of creature comforts to make it palatable long-term.
I do love the thought of it though, and have enjoyed being on sailboats in the past.
Yeah, you know what, lately more and more people have taken to living on boats, they say it's relatively cheaper than paying rent or owning a condo.
It is a freer lifestyle mostly. Not cheaper or easier necessarily. 😀
That was quick! 👏
Well done man!!
!BBH
Been working hard. Time to shift focus a bit and work on something else hard for a bit. I will not stop building $LEO though, just going to be a wee bit slower.
Seems logical. It is a great achievement no matter what 😁
Delegate and I'll make them work 😂
Just kidding!
You cannot touch my precioussss!
LOL!!
Seriously one of my other goals is improving the way I spread the $LEO and improving that efficiency. 😀
A dip is always very helpful with crypto goals. Well done and well played
impressive. 1 million is amazing.
I almost can't believe it myself! Nice dopamine hit, but now I need to focus, focus, focus on the big picture!
I love the inleos team focus on leodex. We win if we make leodex a top 10 on maya and Thorchain.
The buying pressure will be amazing.
That would need a 100x on volume if I look at it right 👀
Upping our volume by 10x would put us in the top 15. 😀
you accomplished this year goal in 2 months 👀🥹 you're a beast man🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
It's been way more than 2 months in the making, but I decided late 2024 that it was going to be my target.
I am honestly way out over my skis. Hope I can keep it going! 🤣
but for real man you're an absolute legend. Because setting goals is one thing, but putting in the work to do it shows real strength so big congratulations 💪🔥
I am a spurt person. Am hoping to hone myself into a more consistent person this year. This is kind of a spurt beginning.
Now to put some things into place to build consistency!
I know you'll get there man you've already proven yourself to be an achiever 🔥💪
In this one case I have, but I have always run a little short of my own yardstick. Trying to change that this year. 😀
The revolution has begun
Very nice! Congrats!
Thank you so much! Now on to HIVE for a while.
How much Hive or HP is your goal?
Not really sure yet. I am currently doing some calculations. I think I am going to try and keep my total $HIVE and $LEO about the same total value. I think that will make my goal about 70,000 HIVE.
I will probably lean toward having more HIVE because I can delegate it to @leo.voter and get more LEO!!
Nice plan. Do you earn all Hive by blogging etc.? Or do you also buy Hive from Fiat? If I may ask.
Only earn by curation right now. Plan to start blogging...someday.
Also am converting $LEO to $HIVE...for now until I reach whatever goal I decide.
All of the rest (a majority is fiat conversion). My plan is to build a very good HIVE/LEO base and earn somewhat passively from that and $HBD.
Ah I see. Good plan! I wish you all the best for this! :)
Forcing creative solutions:
When you pay yourself first, you’re pushed to figure out how to cover other expenses, sparking resourcefulness that fuels growth and success.
Paying yourself first should be a must. Not to waste money but because otherwise you are gonna be working for free
Will try and avoid this in my early 30s

Man, your vision is so far from where we see now. Future is really bright.
We will make it a reality over the coming weeks and months 🦁
Sure, we will together make it to destinations and beyond. 😍
We love the design of this 🦁👏
The updates are going super well. Can't wait to unveil the new LeoDex
We are excited to see where leodex will go under 2025!
That is awesome. You need to have the higher the liquidity pools the more attractive it is to big investors.
Actually, liquidity pools don't matter on LeoDex. It's a cross-chain DEX interface for Maya and soon Thorchain, ChainFlip and Rango
So the pools all live on Maya Thorchain, ChainFlip and Rango, nothing lives on LeoDex other than that it's a portal to those protocols
Very nice and thanks for the explanation.
What?!!?! !BBH
Yep ;)
Now that's so cool 😍 LeoDEX all over the place 💪💯

Exploring the Haunting of Selma Mansion: An Investigation Recap
Introduction
In the latest episode of "After the Dead," hosted by Katrina Weidman, the team visits Selma Mansion in Norristown, Pennsylvania, an intriguing historical property recognized for its haunted reputation. This article recaps the key experiences and findings shared during their investigation, along with the general historical context surrounding the mansion.
A Brief History of Selma Mansion
Part 2/8:
Selma Mansion, situated just outside of Philadelphia, possesses a rich history tied to several significant events and wars over the years. While many are aware of its historical significance, it's the rumored hauntings that draw in visitors and paranormal enthusiasts alike. This investigation marks a return for Weidman, who experienced something unusual during a previous photo shoot, while Heather, her co-host, was visiting for the first time.
Unusual Phenomena in the Mansion
Part 3/8:
Upon entering the Selma Mansion, both Weidman and Heather began to feel unexpected cold breezes, despite the summer heat. This chilling sensation occurred in various locations throughout the house, with Heather noting how the sensation mirrored feelings reported by previous visitors. The investigators emphasized the absence of air conditioning and ruled out drafts from the windows as potential explanations, as they had turned off any noise-producing equipment during their investigation.
Michelle's Insightful Readings
Part 4/8:
The episode introduced Michelle, who conducts psychic readings. She usually connects to someone on set to guide her on the paranormal aspects of the locations they visit. For this investigation, as Heather and Weidman wanted it kept a secret, Michelle had difficulty tuning into Heather but still managed to produce sketches and readings that remarkably resembled Selma Mansion's attributes. This aspect of the investigation sparked a conversation on the combination of techniques used by Michelle, which included remote viewing and psychometry.
Creepy Footsteps and EVPs
Part 5/8:
During the investigation, Heather noted hearing unexplained noises, including knocks and footsteps while in isolation. Though some sounds were attributable to crew members accidentally entering the scene, Heather felt that another layer of activity persisted that couldn't be explained. As they analyzed their recordings, they discovered various electronic voice phenomena (EVP), including a potential response from a spirit identifying itself as the "lady of the house."
Unique Experiences and Unsettling Moments
Part 6/8:
Revisiting her initial experience from a prior visit, Weidman shared how she had heard a woman’s breath beside her while alone on the third floor, accentuating the mansion’s reputation for ghostly encounters. The location's history reportedly includes encounters with children and unease associated with a basement vault, where previous volunteers sensed negative energy. The episode illuminated how the mansion's past could intertwine with modern experiences, leading to complex paranormal activity.
The Nature of Paranormal Investigations on Television
Part 7/8:
Throughout the discussion, Weidman and Heather reflected on the experience of conducting investigations for television. They both acknowledged an inherent duality to their experiences—blending the duties of investigators with the requirement for engaging storytelling in a televised format. Despite certain restrictions and expectations, they revealed an appreciation for being able to explore investigations deeply and authentically while still documenting their findings.
Conclusion: Haunted or Not?
Part 8/8:
In closing, Weidman refrained from declaring Selma Mansion definitively haunted or not. Instead, she suggested that the place remains a mystery worth revisiting, as the personal experiences reported by various visitors, including her own, contribute to a compelling narrative. The investigation collectively left room for interpretation, hinting at the layers of history and potential hauntings that could be further explored in future visits. Ultimately, the episode serves as an invitation for viewers to engage with the mysteries that Selma Mansion—and similar historical properties—pose to those inquisitive about the paranormal.

#pi If you narrow the order book down to one decimal place. There is very tight trading at the moment.
If I had the funds I would have bought the day after it lauched. I saw some great response around the $0.59 (or just around there).. unfortunately I couldn't decide what other crypto to sell for it, and my fiat was close to none 😂
I hear ya, problem I got is being in Canada, need to wait for a DEX to list PI or CoinBase Canada

What about BitGet?
Their Terms of Use state that prohibited countries include 'Canada (Alberta)'.
Not sure if that means all of Canada or just Alberta 🤔
Ya, I tried, no Newfoundland either.
OMFG!!! I finally have a working Wordpress login/register plugin that lets you sign in with Hive Keychain!!! And it works!!!
This is seriously something I have been wanting to build for like 5 years now and finally have it right!
I think I am going to start working on a set of Wordpress tools for Hive and take up where the Exxp/Steempress guys left off and never did right in the first place!
I might actually make a proposal to the DHF for development.
Would you vote for a proposal to build a suite of Hive tools for Wordpress?
YES
My vote 1000%
I would vote for it! Have been thinking about doing something similar, just haven't come around to it (and then I sorta forgot about it)

did you use AI
For some polishing and to help me fix what I had broken, but I have been working on learning PHP and JS. for a while.
very nice.
Yeah, I couldn't ever find anyone else that would help me build it, so I just had to learn, lol. It's helped my up my Wordpress game for sure. But AI only help that much more when I can get it to help me fix bugs and optimize, but I feel like you still need to know the base level code to be able to direct it properly.
On that note, Grok is a way better developer than ChatGPT, at least on the free side of things, lol. I am too cheap to pay for either, haha, so I bounce back and forth based on my limits, lol.
yes, but not all the time.
What?!....
Are you going to sell it or run it as SAAS?
Considering selling them on the Hivelist store as a download. Probably will do by the plugin and as a bundle. If I do it that way, I will not worry about a DHF proposal, because honestly I don't think it would get funded because I am not part of the club, lol.
Indeed! It IS their club...and you're probably not in it...YET!!
No, I am certainly not in it, lol. So I think that selling them for a few HBD per plugin and a bundle price would work. I am considering a Hive witness too, so would be asking for support there to help, lol. I can't keep funding stuff on my own and not getting anything back. But for some reason, most people in this community think it's supposed to be that way... I don't know, lol.
And if I don't sell any copies, then they are only going to make my projects better on an operational level, lol.
Following to keep up with the progress. Thought I already was, but I guess not. 🙁
No worries! I followed you back!
Great!
Are you working as a Wordpress developer?
That's awesome! I would totally vote for that... SteemPress was a great IDEA, but it felt a little unstable and half-baked.
DO IT!
Yeah, it was half ass done and then really unsupported thereafter, but they sure sucked some money out of the block rewards as a witness because of it, lol. But they are also a part of the 'club'.

This is just a guess, but knowing humans, I expect PI to settle in at $3.14 for awhile ;)
And after it settles, is there going to be selling 🤔
Again I am only guessing, but I expect 3.14 to be the lowest. once settles there. Up from there is anyones guess.
oh well the chart kinda tells you're right

LeoDex ranked top 15 on the interface leaderboard yesterday for Maya/TC interfaces
Bear in mind, this is without Thorchain being integrated yet. So we only have Maya volumes
The new update will bring Thorchain swaps
We're aiming for the top 10 daily leaderboard for Maya/TC volume which would = $500+ per day or 26,315 $LEO getting bought off the market each day
If you want to help us get there, use #leodex more often and post #feedback about any issues, bugs or feature requests
If we work as a community to make LeoDex the best DEX UI for the cross-chain space, the amount of $LEO that will be autonomously bought off the market is insane
Time to scale
oh yeah! I hotta do more swapping again. Will free up some liquidity for that.

It helps a lot!
woah, a leaderboard list with trust wallet and Bitget... LeoDEX at top 15🥹🥹🥹🥹 we're going all the way up.. this is impressive
been making trades a bunch the last few days.
Now I'm thinking about something... I see trust wallet at the top of the list, it has a dedicated mobile app, will LeoDEX have that one day as well?
Like how keychain has been built as an app?
Top 15 is only the start @khaleelkazi ;)
We should aim to be top 5 before eoy
We are going to make it there one day, then consistently!
It was 9th for Maya only. 7 is very close!
$133 in 7D earnings is pretty good. We don't even need people to invest in $LEO We just need users!

The Grays machine is running very efficiency. It’s automated, relentless, and pumping value back to holders with every move. Buckle up, because this thing hasn’t even shifted into first gear and is nowhere near firing on all cylinders. The sky is the limit for PTGC and its token holders!

Exploring Fort Mifflin: A Journey Through History and the Paranormal
Fort Mifflin, steeped in rich history, offers not only glimpses into the past but also a chance to encounter the unexplained. Under the guidance of Greg, who has dedicated over 20 years to the fort, we embark on an exploration of its haunted legacy and the stories of the spirits said to wander its grounds. With five years of official involvement in the paranormal aspects of the fort, Greg shares insights from his extensive experiences with visitors and the ghostly interactions that have shaped the fort's current reputation.
Origins of a Paranormal Enthusiast
Part 2/10:
Greg recounts a formative experience haunting from his days as a scout. It was through a seemingly innocent camping trip that he first encountered the otherworldly. Hearing eerie, unexplainable voices in the dark of night and personally experiencing what became known as the "screaming lady" ignited a fascination that would last a lifetime. This experience laid the groundwork for a journey that would lead to a rich tapestry of haunted encounters.
The Legend of Elizabeth Pratt
Part 3/10:
Central to the hauntings at Fort Mifflin is the tragic tale of Elizabeth Pratt. Historically, she is said to have descended into madness after the loss of her daughter, who eloped with a soldier, against her wishes. The story goes that Elizabeth ended her life, leading to her spirit lingering within the fort. Although historical documentation verifies her residency during the early 1800s, evidence of her tormented life is intertwined with hauntings, further complicating the narrative.
The Fort's Dark History
Part 4/10:
Understanding the fort's past is essential in deciphering the paranormal occurrences. Serving originally as a British stronghold, the fort became a site of bloodshed during the Revolutionary War, where approximately 250 men died. Bodies were likely disposed of recklessly, adding to the fort's heavy energy. Following its operational years, the fort itself was repurposed after multiple conflicts, including its use during the Civil War as a prison.
Notable Apparitions and Ghostly Encounters
Part 5/10:
The fort is said to house several spirits. Along with Elizabeth, tales of Jacob, the blacksmith, add depth to its ghostly lore. Visitors often recount hearing screams and encountering full-bodied apparitions, along with feelings of being watched. Reports of shadow figures flitting in and out of view contribute to an atmosphere charged with ancient energy, suggesting that the fort continues to harbor the echoes of its past.
Investigating the Unknown
Part 6/10:
As investigations by paranormal enthusiasts continue, the role of technology in uncovering evidence of the supernatural has become a focal point. Greg notes that equipment can sometimes amplify experiences, but there remains a mysterious element to the paranormal that resists quantification. Observers report that while technology can capture unexplained photographs and document environmental data, the human intuition and senses often reveal the most profound experiences.
An Invitation to Explore
Part 7/10:
A recent visitation invites a fresh team to examine Fort Mifflin’s haunting aspects. The team includes Zach, an electrical engineer who had previously dismissed the paranormal until a personal haunting experience changed his perspective. With his unique skill set and previous skepticism, Zach's arrival promises to bridge the gap between rationality and the supernatural.
Discovering Visual Evidence
Part 8/10:
The investigation of Fort Mifflin includes examining mysterious photographs taken across its grounds. One particular standout moment involved a chilling image captured by a young student. The image itself depicted an impressively detailed figure resembling a wax statue, raising questions about its authenticity and suggesting potential ghostly documentation. Such evidence excites both novice investigators and ardent believers alike.
Encounters During Investigations
Part 9/10:
The fort remains a living entity, with sounds and movements serving as testaments to its haunted history. As the team progresses through the grounds, they report a series of unexplained noises, including what appears to be a scuffle and voices in the shadows. This sensory experience fuels excitement and opens up discussions about what previously occurred in those very spaces.
Conclusion: A Living History of Ghosts
Part 10/10:
Fort Mifflin serves as a compelling venue where history and the paranormal collide. With each whisper and shadow, the past reverberates through time, inviting both investigation and reflection. Lurking within the fort’s walls are echoes of human experience not easily forgotten. As new stories emerge and technology evolves, each exploration of Fort Mifflin promises new revelations, keeping the delicate balance between history, mystery, and the unknown eternally alive.

Part 1/8:
An In-Depth Exploration of Paranormal Investigation: Equipment and Experiences
The world of paranormal investigation is rife with skepticism, excitement, and the hope of uncovering the unknown. In one recent investigation, a group of investigators set out with state-of-the-art equipment to explore an area notoriously rich in historical significance and ghostly activity. Their insights into both the technology they utilized and the eerie settings they navigated provide a compelling narrative into the realm of unexplained phenomena.
Gathering Tools and Setting Up the Environment
Part 2/8:
The investigation commenced with the setup of an Ecto Pod, a high-tech base station designed to monitor various environmental factors. The investigators strategically placed remote sensors in critical “hot spot” areas throughout the facility. These sensors were equipped to detect ultraviolet light, passive infrared, temperature, humidity, and motion, providing a comprehensive analysis of the environment during their round-the-clock investigation.
“They're eager spirits,” one of the investigators commented, reflecting on the history of the location and hinting at the potential for increased activity owing to the area's lesser-trodden paths by other investigators. It’s believed that curious spirits may be drawn out by the new technology being introduced into their domain.
Part 3/8:
Personal Reflections on the Historical Significance
As the investigation progressed, the explorers entered the fort's casemates, historically known to be active zones for paranormal occurrences. Initially, some opted for a minimalistic approach, devoid of complex equipment, believing that a tranquil wait might invite the spirits to communicate without technological interference. One of the key insights shared was the atmosphere's heaviness—one could almost feel the weight of history and despair within the damp walls where prisoners once lived.
Part 4/8:
“There’s a stark realization of the horrors they must have faced,” an investigator reflected, noting the conditions of confinement that were less than humane. The severity of the historical context added a profound layer to their investigation as they posed questions to the ether, seeking any responses from the presumed past inhabitants of the fortress.
Engaging with the Unknown: EVPs and Sensory Reactions
Part 5/8:
Increased activity caught the attention of the group when they began to hear potential electronic voice phenomena (EVPs)—an audio recording of what sounded like voices and screams. Multiple team members reported hearing disembodied sounds, heightening the thrill of their investigation. “It sounded like a male voice trailing off,” one member noted, highlighting an eerie clarity that seemed to emanate from the darkness.
Throughout the exploration, they experienced multiple sensations—shifts in temperature and movements in the environment which reinforced their belief that an otherworldly presence may be interacting with them. The use of a REM Pod and a thermal camera added to the excitement as they asked the spirits to manipulate the equipment to communicate.
Part 6/8:
Heightened Experiences and Team Dynamics
As the investigation unfolded, the dynamics within the group changed. They decided that splitting up and venturing into the more frightening sections of the fort may elicit stronger responses from the spirits. Communication among the group became crucial, as shared experiences of unexplained sounds and sensations fostered a sense of camaraderie and trust.
“I heard your voice!” exclaimed one investigator when sounds echoed from another room, underlining that the haunting experience transcended individual perceptions. Their discussions turned towards the emotional and psychological impacts of confronting the past; laughter intermingled with moments of fear and apprehension.
Reflections on the Nature of the Supernatural
Part 7/8:
Ultimately, the investigation provided more questions than answers regarding the nature of the supernatural. The team’s reliance on technology contrasted sharply with the traditional methods of patiently waiting in silence, sparking debates about how best to engage with the departed.
The experience culminated in a broader understanding of how historical trauma may influence the energy captured in these spaces. Whether through high-tech sensors or the raw approach of waiting in silence, they concluded that some answers might remain elusive, resting within the confines of history and memory.
Concluding Thoughts on the Paranormal Journey
Part 8/8:
This investigation serves as a fascinating case study in the realm of the paranormal. It highlights the ongoing dance between technology and the human experience, evaluated through the lens of history and emotion. While debunkers may argue against the legitimacy of such encounters, those who experienced the investigation firsthand would likely argue otherwise.
As the night drew to a close, the team prepared to leave, resonating with the sense of having tapped into a moment of history. Their probing into the past sparked a dialogue that may continue beyond the auditory and visual realms—a reminder that in the world of the paranormal, questions persist long after the equipment is turned off and the lights go out.

Part 1/8:
Exploring the Paranormal: An Investigation at Fort Mifflin
Fort Mifflin, a historic military fort on the Delaware River in Philadelphia, has long been a site of intrigue and ghostly tales. As investigators report their experiences from a recent exploration, the atmosphere of the fort reveals its deep-rooted history that continues to resonate today.
First Impressions
Upon arriving, the investigators share mixed feelings about the location. While it does not present a traditionally creepy vibe, there’s an unmistakable sense of being watched. One investigator likens the experience to being at a concert—thrilling yet slightly overwhelming, indicative of the energy that seems to pervade the historic site.
Utilizing Tools in the Investigation
Part 2/8:
To kick off their investigation, the team relies on Michelle, a psychic medium. Her abilities are put to the test as she describes the structure of the fort with pinpoint accuracy. She references a central building, surrounded by outbuildings, tall grass, and shadows—all details verifiable upon their arrival.
Based on Michelle's insights, the investigators decide to follow her intuition and explore the locations she identifies, aiming for a deeper understanding of the fort's spiritual landscape.
Psychic Perceptions and Architectural Mysteries
Part 3/8:
As the investigation progresses, Michelle, who connects with the environment energetically, shares her impressions. She notices shifts in the atmospheric sensations, describing moments of perceived pressure and an uncharacteristic weight in the air. She evokes visions of dilapidated hallways, dust-laden air, and a mixture of ancient memories and stories. Despite her acute awareness of residual energy, she reports a lack of immediate human-like spirits willing to communicate.
Michelle’s connection leads to revelations about the fort's outline and deteriorated elements, such as peeling paint and unstable flooring—details corroborated by visuals around them.
The Challenge of Vulnerability
Part 4/8:
As discussions unfold, Michelle suggests that the strongest paranormal activity might arise from individual investigations. Encouraged by this concept, the team splits up, each venturing into potentially haunted areas alone—intentionally creating a sense of vulnerability that could provoke further response from whatever may linger in the fort's shadows.
One investigator chooses the caretaker’s house—a location steeped in ghost stories, including sightings of a woman named Elizabeth, a spirit believed to be trapped within the fort’s walls. The atmosphere feels tense yet charged with anticipation, providing the perfect setting for a solo investigation.
Solo Investigations: Confronting the Unknown
Part 5/8:
Each member embarks on their isolated paths, equipped only with audio recorders and their senses. One investigator reports a haunting stillness upstairs in the caretaker's house while trying to engage with any spirits present. An emotion-laden calm surrounds them, intensifying the sense that something, or someone, is nearby.
Unexpected Encounters and Electrical Phenomena
Part 6/8:
During another segment of the investigation, an electrical engineer on the team reports an unexpected shock while interacting with a Tesla coil—a piece of equipment they had brought along. This shocking incident occurs just as he playfully invites spirits to “come in,” suggesting an ominous warning from what may be guarding the location. His background in engineering offers no logical explanation for this event, leading to further speculation about the fort's energy and the role of the investigative tools introduced.
The Aftermath: Reflections on the Investigation
Part 7/8:
As the investigation draws to a close, team members share their experiences and the revelations gleaned from their different approaches. Michelle’s uncanny accuracy and the subsequent shocking incident present a perplexing puzzle of unexplained phenomena within Fort Mifflin.
The evening's experiments raise compelling questions about the nature of spiritual communication and the effectiveness of different investigative techniques. Could the presence of equipment be enhancing the energy within the fort, or is it merely a coincidence that the engineering practices intersect with the paranormal?
Conclusion: The Enigmatic Spirit of Fort Mifflin
Part 8/8:
Fort Mifflin stands not just as a relic of history but as an ongoing site of spectral interaction. The team’s explorations yield more questions than answers, revealing the need for further inquiry into how and why spirits seem to linger in places like this.
As the investigators pack up, they are left contemplating the complex relationship between the past and the present, the living and the spectral—a relationship that continues to unfold at Fort Mifflin, where every shadow conceals a story waiting to be told.

Tesla's Innovative Cathode Production Process: A Game Changer for Battery Manufacturing
As Tesla continues to revolutionize battery manufacturing, recent insights into their cathode material production have emerged, offering concrete details after five years of anticipation since Battery Day. The unveiling comes through a Tesla patent application published last month, which primarily focuses on specific variations for producing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cathode materials.
Part 2/10:
This process primarily concerns the construction of the cathode powder itself—fine particles made of high-purity crystals that serve as a host for lithium ions, essential for energy storage. The significance of this emphasizes that the process to produce the cathode powder could lead to groundbreaking cost reductions for Tesla, potentially enabling them to manufacture some of the most affordable LFP battery cells globally.
The Impact of Cathode Production on Tesla’s Competitive Edge
Part 3/10:
According to Drew Baglino, former Senior Vice President of Powertrain and Energy at Tesla, the mass production of LFP cathode materials through this innovative method could surpass the cost-efficiency of untariffed LFP materials imported from China. This breakthrough could position Tesla as a leader in low-cost battery production, thereby cementing its competitive edge in the electric vehicle market.
As part of today’s insights, I'll take you through the core aspects of this patent application and outline the implications for future battery cells, particularly the anticipated LFP 4680 cells in Tesla's upcoming Cybercab.
Traditional Cathode Production: Limitations and Drawbacks
Part 4/10:
Traditionally, cathode production involves intricate processes that can be both energy-consuming and environmentally damaging. For instance, using Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) cathodes exemplifies a common production method that initiates at a chemical plant, where metals are combined with sulfuric acid to create metal sulfates. This method entails several steps, including mixing with water and carbonates, a separation stage that generates extensive wastewater, and additional drying, grinding, and classification phases.
Part 5/10:
These processes result in a significant environmental footprint, creating toxic waste streams and necessitating substantial water resources—approximately 99,000 liters of water for a moderate production scale of just 6.5 tons of materials daily. Furthermore, the need for complex installations adds to capital intensity and production costs.
Tesla’s Innovative Approach: Two Paths Forward
In contrast, Tesla’s newly patented cathode production process seeks to address these limitations. The application outlines an extensive framework—spanning over 100 pages—that includes alternate wet and dry production pathways, detailed flowcharts, and examples of various processing machinery.
Part 6/10:
The core innovation Tesla aims to incorporate resembles Nano One’s "One-Pot" process, wherein all raw materials are combined in one operation rather than fragmented across multiple steps. This transformation not only streamlines production but also significantly reduces waste generation and water consumption.
Exploring the Proposed Spray Granulation Process
Delving deeper into the potential production pathway, it seems Tesla leans towards a spray granulation method. The first phase involves mixing raw cathode materials into a uniform slurry, eliminating the need for hazardous metal sulfate production. Following this, a granulation stage spray-dries the slurry, allowing moisture to evaporate and forming larger agglomerate particles necessary for the cathode.
Part 7/10:
Next comes a classification step to ensure uniformity in particle size, which is critical for the battery's performance metrics, such as energy density and charge rate. This process is unique in how it facilitates the recycling of waste particles back into the production loop, further maximizing efficiency.
Kilns and Heating: A Critical Step
The following stage comprises a kiln or furnace where the blended particles are heated and crystallized—a process known as calcination. Tesla's recent equipment installations suggest they might be utilizing saggar kilns or rotary furnaces, each having differing operational efficiencies and benefits— from the traditional methods to more contemporary approaches that could mitigate dust contamination.
The Strategic Importance of In-House Production
Part 8/10:
After fully understanding these advancements, one might wonder why Tesla didn’t just license existing technology from firms like Nano One. The expectation is that Tesla aims for a comprehensive grasp on the supply chain, making their operations less vulnerable to market fluctuations or monopolies. By developing proprietary manufacturing technology, Tesla can strengthen its negotiating power should any intellectual property concerns arise with established technologies.
Future Outlook: Competing with Global Markets
Part 9/10:
Importantly, while Tesla’s proposed methods may showcase distinct advantages, they also face competition from manufacturers in countries like China, who are rapidly closing technological gaps. Nevertheless, Tesla’s commitment to producing its LFP materials domestically would provide it an edge against tariffs and logistics costs, ultimately bolstering the company’s goal to lead in low-cost battery production.
As Tesla forges onward with its strategic innovations in cathode production, the implications of this patent could not only set new standards for efficiency and cost but also ensure a resilient supply chain that stands against global market fluctuations.
Part 10/10:
In my upcoming video, I will further explore the implications of this patent for the looming LFP 4680 battery cell, particularly as it relates to Tesla’s Cybercab. Thank you for your interest and support as we continue to unravel the transformative potential of Tesla’s advancements in battery technology.
The new laws sought to break the aristocratic hold on high office by removing their influence. Candidates for Archon were now chosen by lot from the Council of 500. A system of ostracism was introduced to prevent accumulation of power. Any senior official deemed to be corrupt could be banished for ten years by a vote of the Assembly. Other changes included limiting the power of the Areopagas to appeal for murder trials, and transferring supervision of the conduct of government to the Council of 500.
This great Athenian democracy thrived through the time of Pericles 462-429 B.C, but was degraded during the Peloponnesian War, which ended in 404. The Athenians were defeated by Sparta and would never again experience the great democracy they had invented.
If we agree that the definition of democracy is anything we want it to be, then I suppose America has a democracy, but it’s funny how the term has be used by feminist types to suggest the Greeks didn’t have a democracy because women couldn’t vote. In their view, only contemporary America would meet the true definition. How absurd! Democracies are defined by the ability of people to have a say in government, not whether one class or the other has equal rights.
A political system will only be strong if informed citizens vote. That is citizens who are intelligent enough and motivated enough to analyze the issues before voting. Those who vote without knowledge of the issues or support candidates because they are told who to support are corrupt. Quality government comes from quality votes, not the number of them.

Part 1/9:
Understanding the Quantum Field and Manifestation
The concept of the quantum field, often referred to as the unified field of all possibilities, challenges conventional thinking. Rather than responding to our desires or wants, the quantum field aligns with the essence of who we are being. Emphasizing that when we chase desires from a place of lack, we signal separation rather than connection. This leads us to recognize the transformative power of silence, inward reflection, and the embodiment of states of being congruent with our aspirations.
The Power of Inner Silence
Part 2/9:
To access the quantum field, one must enter a state of 'nobody', 'nowhere', and 'no time', transcending identity and ego, and fully engaging with the present moment. This internal silence acts as a gateway, where we can step away from our noisy external world and connect with pure consciousness, the realm where all possibilities reside.
Many individuals get caught in the cycles of their five senses, perceiving only what exists rather than what's possible. By withdrawing attention from the external, finding stillness, and closing our eyes, we open ourselves to the quantum realm.
Acting As If: A Neuroscientific Perspective
Part 3/9:
The neuroscience behind manifestation highlights that both the brain and body struggle to differentiate between real-life experiences and vividly imagined ones. By emotionally engaging with our future dreams, we can condition our biology to reflect a new state of being, eliminating the anterior need to await external changes to feel joy and abundance. The moment we embody the feeling of having achieved our aspirations, we stop waiting and allow those desires to manifest in our lives.
The Quantum Model of Reality versus Linear Thinking
Part 4/9:
Traditional linear models of reality posit that goal achievement is based on time, effort, and labor. In contrast, the quantum model suggests that we can collapse time by energetically aligning ourselves with our desired future. Just as tuning a radio requires us to adjust to the right frequency, we must align our thoughts and feelings with the reality we wish to manifest. This paradox reveals that the harder we chase desires, the more we push them away.
Aligning Attention and Energy
Part 5/9:
The attention we give to our thoughts can either shape our reality or reinforce destructive patterns. Like a flashlight illuminating darkness, our focus needs to shine on abundance, joy, and our aspirational vision. The reticular activating system in our brains acts as a filter that recognizes and emphasizes what we choose to focus on, reiterating the power of attention in manifesting desires.
Engaging with the observer effect in quantum physics illustrates that reality can be shaped at a fundamental level based on where and how we direct our attention. Thus, we must concentrate on our aspirations with certainty and emotional intent, avoiding mixed signals that could stall our manifestations.
Commitment and Internal Processing
Part 6/9:
During the early stages of manifestation, our new neural pathways remain susceptible to external influences and doubts. The historic teachings of mystics emphasized the importance of silence and internal processing to preserve our energy and maintain coherence with our visions.
In this journey, it becomes crucial not only to visualize our desires silently but also to live and embody those outcomes as if they are already present in our lives, leveraging emotional energy as the powerful charge that magnetizes our future towards us.
The Art of Discretion in Manifestation
Part 7/9:
Sharing our aspirations too prematurely can dilute their energy. Seeking validation or reassurance from others can shift our focus from potential to doubt, distancing us from our goals. Instead, a confident individual embodies their aspirations without feeling the need to announce them.
True power resides not in explicating our journeys but in consistently embodying the essence of our desired outcomes. When we stop revealing our plans, we limit the influence of outside negativity and maintain control over our internal state.
The Call to Action: Manifestation Through Alignment
Part 8/9:
To truly become the version of ourselves who has already achieved our goals, we must visualize and internalize our desired states, feeling the corresponding emotions deeply. By embodying those feelings and affirming ourselves, we align our energies with our highest aspirations.
Understanding that we are the creators of our reality allows us to stop waiting for external validation. Every moment spent focusing on our desired outcomes strengthens our connection to the quantum field, positioning us closer to their manifestation.
Conclusion: Embracing Your Creative Power
Part 9/9:
As the creators of our own narratives, understanding the intricate interplay of energy, attention, and belief is vital. Every thought, every emotion shapes the reality around us. By changing our inner world, we lay the foundational work for the world around us to alter in response to our alignment.
The journey toward manifestation is a powerful one, encompassing self-worth and unwavering belief in ourselves. By maintaining a clear focus and an open heart, we can align our energies with our highest visions. As you move forward, remember that the world eagerly awaits the extraordinary creations you are destined to bring to life.
"APPLE SHOULD GET RID OF DEI RULES, NOT JUST MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THEM. DEI WAS A HOAX THAT HAS BEEN VERY BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY. DEI IS GONE!!!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tuesday's vote at the iPhone maker's annual meeting was seen as a test of shareholder views about the value of DEI programs, which many companies added or beefed up starting in 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter movement.
Proponents of the proposal against DEI argued that recent legal changes meant Apple would see an increase in discrimination cases if it continued such policies.

In regions such as Yiu, a prominent hub for foreign trade, the absence of activity raises concerns. Despite being a critical point for trade with over 200 countries, many vacancies remain unfilled as the job market struggles to support returning workers. The meager offerings focus largely on low-skill positions like food delivery and ride-hailing, which barely cover living expenses. Ground-level observations highlight that rental properties remain vacant, and the streets are quieter, contrasting sharply with past years where the post-holiday period saw a spike in labor returns.
Part 3/9:
In Guango, a region typically bustling with workers, landlords have unexpectedly begun seeking tenants directly—a stark departure from the norm where properties would easily rent themselves. This direct outreach suggests a significant reduction in the number of job returnees, leading to increased pressure on rental markets and an oversaturated job market.
Shifts in Job Market Dynamics
The demographic challenges are compounded by rising age limits in job applications, such as at the popular restaurant chain Heid Lao, which now asks for college degrees for ostensibly low-skilled roles. Applicants face increasing barriers, and there is growing dissatisfaction from workers who feel excluded from opportunities due to such restrictions.
Part 4/9:
Videos circulating online showcase the realities of unemployment in Guango, with crowded areas demonstrating the competition over the dwindling job openings. The harsh reality is reflected in stories from recent graduates and seasoned professionals alike, many of whom are grappling with layoffs in previously stable positions in various sectors, including private businesses and state-owned enterprises.
Economic Uncertainty and Layoffs
Part 5/9:
Layoffs have seeped into state-owned enterprises, a significant shift for organizations previously viewed as stable employers. Reports suggest widespread layoffs and restructuring occurring under the banner of corporate reform, leaving employees vulnerable. Documented accounts depict emotional workers, shocked by unexpected job losses and grappling with financial implications as they support families and dependents.
Scholarship indicates that the shear cumulative effects of state policies and economic downturns have destabilized once-reliable job markets. As layoffs become more common, observers posit that stringent government controls and increased competition exacerbate economic strain, prompting fears of broader unrest fueled by discontent and social instability.
Part 6/9:
The Private Sector's Fight
The plight of the private sector echoes similar sentiments, as tensions between government expectations and enterprise survival create an uneasy landscape for business leaders. As demonstrated by the recent defaults in private companies, distress signals are evident in corporate failures and financial crises, further isolating workers from job security. High-profile meetings between Xi Jinping and business leaders signal a desperate attempt at salvaging private enterprises, but skepticism lingers regarding the longevity of such alliances.
AI and Automation: A Double-Edged Sword
Part 7/9:
As China grapples with escalating unemployment and economic malaise, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) looms over human job security. The infiltration of robots into jobs traditionally held by workers has sparked mixed reactions between hope for efficiency and fears of large-scale job displacement. Observations of AI-powered civil servants hint at a future where human roles diminish, intensifying the job market crisis.
The sentiment surrounding AI adoption raises critical questions about the future of work and the human element within labor practices. Critics warn that the growing reliance on machines may exacerbate the existing workforce challenges, undermining job stability and welfare.
Conclusion: A Bleak Outlook Ahead
Part 8/9:
As the dust settles post-Lunar New Year, the current job market reflects a paradigm imbued with uncertainty and shifting expectations. The interplay of demographic changes, economic pressures, and the looming threat of AI illustrates a challenging landscape for job seekers. As China navigates these complexities, both the social fabric and the economy hang in a delicate balance, leaving many to ponder the future of stable employment within their nation’s evolving environment.
Part 9/9:
The voice of individuals navigating this precarious situation remains paramount. With tales of struggle interwoven among aspirations for stability, the collective narrative increasingly paints a picture of an economy that must urgently confront and address its fundamental flaws to foster a more fruitful job market for its citizens.
Father Murray to Newsmax: Pope Francis 'Forged His Own Path'
With Pope Francis in declining health and reportedly nearing death, the Roman Catholic Church has begun to cast its gaze to his replacement and what it might want in a new Holy See, which Father Gerald Murray told Newsmax is a "big question."
With Pope Francis in declining health and reportedly nearing death, the Roman Catholic Church has begun to cast its gaze to his replacement and what it might want in a new Holy See, which Father Gerald Murray told Newsmax is a "big question."
Murray, a priest in the Archdiocese of New York, joined "National Report" speaking about the Pope's condition but also looking ahead to the characteristics of a new Pope given that Francis "forged his own path."
The Romans, after their defeat an Cannae, adopted a plan of avoiding large scale battles against Hannibal and only attacked him on a small scale when they were sure they could win. They put a great deal of effort into preventing reinforcements, which proved to be an important factor in their ultimate success. The most serious attempt at reinforcement occurred in 207 when Hannibal’s brother Hasdrubal tried to move an army down the west side of the Apennines and link up with him. Hasdrubal was trapped by the Romans and killed. It must have been disheartening for Hannibal, after waiting eleven years for reinforcements, to have his brother’s head tossed into his camp as a signal that no help would be coming.
Reinforcements were critical because, as time went by, Hannibal had fewer and fewer of his original troops and more local mercenaries. He found himself trapped in Bruttium because his army was Bruttian and they refused to fight outside their district. Then, in 203, with the Romans attacking Carthage directly, Hannibal left Italy to help in the defense of his homeland.

The gaming sector continues to be a fertile ground for innovation with trends emerging that may only be fully recognized a decade down the line.
Driving Forces Behind the Rise of 3D Technology
The landscape for interactive 3D technology is being supported by three significant tailwinds.
Part 5/11:
Content Creation and AI Tools: Historically, content creation is one of the significant bottlenecks in both gaming and enterprise instances, consuming over 50% of development resources. However, advancements in AI now provide tools for asset generation, making this process more efficient and accessible for non-gaming applications.
3D Capture Technologies: New techniques like Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) enable the efficient capturing of real-world environments in lifelike detail. Such advancements are essential for industries like architecture and automotive, allowing for enhanced virtual testing and visualization before actual physical implementation.
Part 6/11:
Each of these factors has its own cost curves, and as technology progresses, the cost of adopting these systems is rapidly decreasing, making them more viable for a broader range of applications.
Diverse Applications of Interactive 3D Technology
Part 7/11:
Interactive 3D technology is seeing integration across multiple industries, revealing fascinating applications. For instance, companies like Andrel Industries and Tesla leverage gaming technology for simulation purposes, employing virtual environments for strategy planning and autonomous systems training. The ability to simulate complex scenarios also allows industries to create valuable training datasets, establishing models that can manage edge cases that arise infrequently in real-world contexts.
Part 8/11:
Training scenarios illustrate how virtual simulations can encompass various tasks outside traditional gaming, from workforce training to emergency preparedness. AI-driven agents acting as non-player characters (NPCs) can facilitate a more immersive experience, enabling simulations that help organizations prepare for unexpected scenarios such as disease outbreaks or social policy evaluations.
The Intersection of Consumer and Enterprise Applications
Part 9/11:
While many applications have been geared towards enterprise, there is noticeable demand for consumer-oriented solutions utilizing similar technologies. Home improvement planning, for instance, can be revolutionized by allowing users to design their living spaces in a 3D environment, utilizing technology to visualize furniture arrangements and styles before making purchases.
The forthcoming wave of 3D applications promises not only significant advancements in the enterprise sector but also will markedly enhance the consumer experience, blending gaming technology into everyday services and products.
Looking Ahead: Emerging Technologies and Continued Advancement
Part 10/11:
The future is brimming with promise as new technologies are poised to be integrated into 3D simulations and gaming. Innovations in human-machine interaction (HMI), such as brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, are expected to revolutionize how users interact with virtual environments. Using brain activity to manipulate digital experiences enhances user engagement and immersion, tracking user responses in real time.
Moreover, feelable tactile feedback through devices, such as rings worn on fingers, will further contribute to a more immersive gaming experience. With these advancements, users will likely find themselves fully engaged in their virtual environments, enjoying seamlessly integrated sensory experiences that replicate real-life interactions.
Part 11/11:
As we embrace the potential of interactive 3D technology, the convergence of these advancements opens pathways for enhanced collaboration, training, and consumer engagement across both enterprise and entertainment landscapes. The consequences of these innovations will surely redefine the way we interact with the digital world in the years to come.
Of course, AI is a notorious hallucinator. Amazon asserts that Alexa+ is accurate and reliable, but we’ll have to see whether those claims hold up when the new experience launches later this year.

Part 1/8:
The Urgency of Living in the Present
Life is fleeting, and the solemn truth behind the saying, "the graveyards are full of people that thought they had more time," resonates deeply with many of us. The acknowledgment of our mortality often comes to the forefront in the wake of personal loss. In recent years, the speaker has faced the reality of death as they lost not only family members but also cherished cousins, both tragically passing away at an age that seemed all too young—59 and 61. These were people the speaker had known throughout their life, sharing countless joyful moments together, but life is unpredictable, and they had not anticipated that their time was so limited.
Part 2/8:
As we navigate our daily routines, it's easy to get caught up in a cycle that feels endless: waking up early, rushing through traffic, working long hours, and perhaps spending a mere handful of hours with loved ones before collapsing into bed, only to repeat it all again the next day. This relentless hustle often obscures the reality that, on average, life expectancy in the U.S. is around 76 years, a statistic that serves as a stark reminder of our mortality. Yet statistics can often mask the personal experiences of those around us. For the speaker, many of those they have known have not lived to see their 80s or 90s, and such truths cast shadows on the official narratives that statistics present.
Part 3/8:
Many of us embark on our careers with a target in mind, often viewing retirement as something to look forward to. We pin our hopes on achieving financial stability to enjoy retirement in our golden years. However, this planning often comes with an oversight—we forget that life does not guarantee us tomorrow. It's easy to fall into a mindset of "just five more years, and then I'll retire," without fully contemplating the implications of unexpected events.
Part 4/8:
With each loss, the notion that life is uncertain becomes ever more apparent. The loss of close relatives served as a wake-up call, urging the speaker to reconsider their understanding of life and mortality. Life can take people when they least expect it, and there is no certainty that we will reach our planned retirement age, let alone enjoy it.
Part 5/8:
Additionally, many people today, especially younger generations, face profound challenges regarding financial security. They might find themselves looking at the prospect of working indefinitely, caught in a cycle of debt and economic strain that makes retirement appear unattainable. Highlighting this reality underscores a pervasive struggle: while many have financial goals, the grueling day-to-day grind often overshadows the need to pause, enjoy life, and appreciate the time we do have.
Part 6/8:
The speaker reflects on their previous mindset of equating self-worth with professional success, often sidelining personal enjoyment and social connections. Yet the more one sees the fragility of life, the more one realizes the importance of striking a balance between work and personal happiness. The relentless pursuit of career advancements mustn't eclipse the joy that comes from spending time with family, friends, and even pets.
Part 7/8:
Realizing that life could end unexpectedly should inspire us to prioritize quality moments now instead of continuously deferring them to an ambiguous future. Many of those buried in graveyards had plans, dreams, and aspirations for the next day, yet their lives were cut short before they could fulfill them. The sobering reminder is that there’s an inherent uncertainty with each new day we face, challenging us to embrace the present.
Part 8/8:
In conclusion, the message is clear: While work is an essential aspect of our lives and can offer stability, we must also intentionally carve out space for enjoyment in our daily lives. It is crucial to foster relationships, relish in personal passions, and create lasting memories with those dear to us. Life is unpredictable, and the key takeaway is to live intentionally, savor every moment, and recognize that, indeed, tomorrow is never guaranteed.

Discovering Three Secrets for a Vibrant Life
In times that feel increasingly uncertain and chaotic, it can be challenging to find clarity and assurance. Dr. Joe T, a figure who has navigated life's adversities and emerged with valuable wisdom, addresses this complex human experience by sharing three pivotal secrets that have guided him throughout his 35-year journey of personal development and transformation.
The State of the World: Chaos and Fear
Part 2/8:
Dr. Joe T opens his presentation by acknowledging the overwhelming nature of today's world. With the proliferation of social media and advancements like artificial intelligence, it can feel like clarity is a distant notion. Fear tends to dominate our experiences as we navigate a reality filled with unpredictability. However, rather than succumbing to negativity, Dr. T advocates for empowerment through understanding and awareness.
A Journey from Homelessness to Wisdom
Part 3/8:
Dr. T’s personal story is one of resilience and transformation—rising from homelessness and poverty to becoming an accomplished author and speaker. He reflects on the enriching experiences he has gained, including writing nearly ninety books and appearing in several films, most notably The Secret. His purpose is clear: to give back to society by sharing insights that have proved transformative in both his life and the lives of others.
The Three Secrets Unveiled
Dr. T unveils three secrets that he believes are crucial for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life and ultimately thrive amidst challenges.
Secret One: The Intelligent Life Force Within
Part 4/8:
The first secret emphasizes the existence of an intelligent life force within each individual. Dr. T describes this force as a caring, nurturing presence—whether one chooses to call it the universe, God, or divine intelligence. This inner wisdom guides individuals toward their best selves, waiting for recognition and engagement. The freedom to believe or dismiss this force is a pivotal aspect of human existence. Acknowledging its presence opens the door to countless opportunities and intuitive insights essential for personal growth.
Secret Two: Awakening to Your Inner Divinity
Part 5/8:
The second secret revolves around the idea that each person has a life mission centered on awakening their inner divinity. While individuals are not divine entities in totality, they possess access to a higher power that transcends the limitations of the human mind. The challenge lies in surrendering the ego, which often anchors people to their fears and doubts. Dr. T encourages believers to think like the divine, where limitations dissolve in favor of possibilities. This shift in perspective helps individuals overcome obstacles with faith, strength, and courage.
Secret Three: Clearing Counter-Intentions
Part 6/8:
The third secret reveals what Dr. T views as a missing element in self-help and spirituality—a need to clear subconscious counter-intentions that may sabotage personal aspirations. His own experiences of feeling powerless inspired this insight. Without addressing these limiting beliefs, one might struggle to achieve personal desires. Dr. T asserts that getting clear of these mental barriers is a vital step toward connecting with divine guidance and realizing one’s potential.
The Path Forward: Coaching and Future Insights
Part 7/8:
For those interested in further exploring these transformative ideas, Dr. T invites individuals to check out his Miracles coaching program, a system that has been successfully established for over two decades. He hints at an upcoming book dubbed “Legacy,” which will encapsulate these principles and the wisdom he has gleaned throughout his life—a testament to his journey from struggles to enlightenment.
Expecting Miracles
To close his talk, Dr. T emphasizes a powerful mindset shift: “You get what you expect.” By fostering expectations of miracles and abundance, individuals can embark on a path of profound change and personal fulfillment.
Part 8/8:
In a world fraught with chaos, Dr. Joe T’s three secrets serve as guiding lights, illuminating the path toward a more empowered existence, one where personal transformation begins from within.

It’s obvious from the chart that the Greeks were a couple of hundred years ahead of the Romans in developing their culture. In 625, when the Romans were living in mud huts and working at draining the swamp that would become the Forum, the Athenians were already 125 years removed from establishing their colonies in Italy and well on the way toward defining a unique and advanced culture. Architecture forms were well developed, large sculptures were being produced, and pottery had already passed through its orientalizing period. The polis had become a mature political system as it broke new ground in human rights and political participation. At the same time, the Greek army had evolved advanced battle tactics including use of the Phalanx.

Since the early kings were not wealthy, their attempts at power were overcome by military leaders who excelled at forming superior tactics. Without money kings could not buy power. The isolation of the Aegean and its geography was also a factor because it prevented foreign threats and the influence foreign invaders could exert on evolving Greek political systems.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect was the simplicity of Greek life. The Greeks looked at the world through an intellectual lens: embracing science, mathematics, philosophy, and the arts, rather than pure wealth building. Greek philosophy dictated that possessions were not the route to happiness in life and that logic demanded equality among free people. The Greeks believed that all possess inherent rights to justice, participation in government, and equality under law.

The Vanishing 300 Win Pitcher: An Epoch in Major League Baseball
On the evening of June 4th, 2009, Randy Johnson accomplished a historic feat that reverberates through the annals of baseball history: he won his 300th game. A consummate professional, Johnson showcased his prowess on the mound by limiting the Washington Nationals to just one run over six innings. With closer Brian Wilson sealing the win, Johnson entered an exclusive club of only 24 pitchers to reach the esteemed 300-win mark—a milestone that almost guarantees immortalization in the Hall of Fame and cements one's legacy within the sport.
Part 2/9:
However, since Johnson’s momentous achievement, an unprecedented shift has occurred: no pitcher has reached the 300-win threshold in over 15 years. This begs the question: what is responsible for this trend, and do any current pitchers hold a realistic chance of breaking this remarkable barrier?
The Shift in Baseball's Winning Culture
Part 3/9:
Traditionally, in Major League Baseball (MLB), a pitcher is credited with a win if he is the player to hold the lead when the game is secured, provided he has pitched at least five innings. Although this rule has been in place since the 1950s, the origins of counting wins date back to the ‘dead ball’ era when pitchers frequently took to the mound, often leading to higher win totals. For instance, pitchers like PUD Galvin and Kid Nichols notched wins at a breakneck pace, reaching 300 wins well before reaching 30 years of age.
Part 4/9:
Yet, as baseball evolved, so too did its pitching strategies. The introduction of the live ball era marked a seismic shift, with aggressive offenses enkindling higher demands on pitchers. Consequently, starter rotations shifted to five and six-man configurations, diluting the number of win opportunities—a stark contrast to earlier eras when pitchers were expected to complete games.
The Evolution of the Pitching Role
The ensuing decades brought a significant decline in complete games and an increase in injuries—a critical downside for pitchers aiming for the 300-win milestone. For instance, during the mid-20th century, only a handful of pitchers—such as Lefty Grove and Warren Spahn—accrued this prestigious total, often pitching well into their late careers to achieve that goal.
Part 5/9:
Contrasting this trend is the modern game's mindset, where wins are becoming less of a reliable measurement of a pitcher’s value. Individual performances are increasingly influenced by the offensive capabilities of their teams. The volatility of wins and losses—as seen through modern examples like Jacob deGrom, who won only 10 games while dominating Strikeouts—highlights the complexity of assessing a pitcher’s contributions beyond mere statistics.
The Prospects for the 300 Win Club
As of today, only three active pitchers appear to stand a fighting chance of entering the 300 Win Club: Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, and Justin Verlander. Each of these seasoned players represents a unique pathway toward the elusive milestone.
Part 6/9:
Max Scherzer, with 216 wins, faces an uphill battle as he nears the age of 40. Assuming he maintains his current win pace, he would still require to pitch well into his late forties—a daunting expectation, even for talented veterans. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw, at 212 career wins, has been plagued by injuries in recent years, throwing his potential for reaching 300 into uncertainty.
Of the trio, Justin Verlander stands best positioned with 262 wins. He has expressed a desire to continue playing into his mid-40s but must prioritize durability and consistent performance to reach the milestone. Should he succeed, Verlander may well be the last pitcher to win 300 games—an achievement that could be lost to the ages.
The Future of the 300 Win Milestone
Part 7/9:
Looking beyond the stars, a glance at the broader landscape unveils a bleak outlook for the 300 Win Club. Current rotations favor shorter outings and more specialized roles, meaning few pitchers today are on track to amass the necessary 300 wins. Furthermore, the relevance of individual wins will likely continue to diminish in a sport that increasingly values overall performance metrics and game efficiency.
However, changes in MLB rules—such as potential provisions for a six-inning minimum for starting pitchers—could alter the trajectories of future wins. Historical precedent suggests that baseball is prone to cyclical evolution, raising the possibility that the 300-win mark might one day be reclaimed, albeit under different paradigms.
A Legacy Beyond Statistics
Part 8/9:
Ultimately, while the 300-win milestone remains iconic, it must not serve as the sole measure of pitcher's greatness. Baseball boasts a rich tapestry of legendary figures—like Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, and Pedro Martinez—who remain enshrined in the annals of history without reaching the 300-win mark. Greatness in the game transcends numbers, and the nature of baseball is ever-changing.
Part 9/9:
As the game adapts to modern influences and contingencies, the quest for 300 wins may become an artifact of the past, yet the passion and legacy of pitchers will always resonate within the sport. While statistics tell a story, the true essence of baseball lies in the triumphs, struggles, and unique narratives woven through generations. The future of pitching, like life, holds the promise of unpredictability, underscoring that greatness cannot be confined to a singular achievement.

A New Era in American Politics: The Trump Phenomenon
As guests gathered for a special White House tour, President Trump made a surprise appearance to engage with them, embodying a spirit of celebration and optimism. With a strong sense of connection to the American people, Trump conveyed his excitement for a new "golden age" in the nation — a time characterized by significant victories and the shifting political landscape.
Significant Political Wins
Part 2/10:
One notable highlight was the recent special election in Connecticut, where Republican candidate Jason Perillo triumphed over his Democrat opponent by seven points. This win was particularly significant given that the district had previously supported Trump by a mere five points. Analysts viewed Perillo's victory as a demonstration of Trump's increasing popularity and a sign of the Republican Party's rebranding as the "Grand Old Patriot Party." This rebranding has evidently resonated with voters, showcasing a shift in their political loyalties.
Part 3/10:
The Harvard Harris poll released this week illustrated Trump's robust position among voters, with supermajority support for a variety of his policies. Noteworthy is that 81% of voters back the deportation of illegal immigrants who commit crimes, while 76% advocate for efforts to eliminate waste and fraud in government. The poll results reflect a national consensus around Trump's America First agenda, which appears to be transforming the political scenery in traditionally blue states.
A Regional Political Realignment
Part 4/10:
The political dynamics in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut illustrate a tide of change. Analysts suggest that Pennsylvania is mirroring the trend seen in Ohio a few years back, indicating a steady reduction in the Democrat voter registration advantage. Similarly, New Jersey is now seen as indicative of the shift experienced in Pennsylvania. Both states are experiencing a growing number of defectors from the working-class voter base toward the MAGA-centric Republican Party, raising possibilities of future Republican dominance.
Part 5/10:
Notably, Connecticut's recent special election, where Republicans significantly outperformed expectations, raises questions about the potential for this state to turn red in upcoming elections. This developing trend suggests a broader political realignment that could reshape electoral outcomes in the near future.
The White House’s Strategic Shift
Part 6/10:
On a parallel front, Trump's administration has shaken up the traditional dynamics of media access to the President. In a major policy shift, the White House declared its intent to take control over the makeup of the press pool. This announcement fundamentally changes the relationship between the Trump administration and the media, moving away from the long-held practices of the White House Correspondents Association, which many consider to be left-leaning.
Part 7/10:
The new strategy aims to empower a wider array of voices and journalists, including independent creators who had previously been sidelined. This represents a significant acknowledgment of the "network society" concept — a political landscape where control over information lies beyond the traditional media monopolies. The evolving media landscape will allow for a broader dissemination of information, directly challenging legacy media’s long-standing dominance.
Deconstructing Media Narratives
Part 8/10:
Moreover, despite narratives painting Trump as authoritarian or unaccountable, statistics reveal a contrasting reality. During his latest term, Trump has been noted for exceeding former President Obama’s and President Biden's media engagement. The numbers show Trump taking over a thousand questions in his first month, dwarfing the numbers taken by his predecessors. This transparency has led to a growing public perception that Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises, reinforcing his support among voters.
The American public appears increasingly frustrated with conventional political narratives and the mainstream media, emphasizing a demand for authenticity and accountability. Polls pinpoint that more than two-thirds of the public believes Trump is effectively executing his agenda.
Part 9/10:
Conclusion: A Shift in Political Paradigms
What is unfolding is not merely a shift in party dynamics but a broader political evolution where the interests and concerns of the populace are prioritized. Trump's political approach is manifesting as a catalyst for change in American politics. With newfound support among the electorate and a distinctive approach to media relations, Trump is positioning himself as a representative of the people's voices in this emerging political landscape. The coming years promise further realignment as Americans continue to assert their agency in choosing their political narrative.
Part 10/10:
With nearly four years left in his term, the potential for transformation and a strong reaction against elite narratives grounds the notion that we are witnessing the rise of a brave new political chapter in the United States.
Were all Romans barbarians because the games in the Coliseum were barbaric? I doubt it. Like any society, the Romans must have had a range of ethical and moral standards among the people. There must have been those who considered violence against human beings barbaric. We can’t say how many or what percentage, but any society includes those who oppose violence.
Now we come to the present day to ponder the following statement: “If there are barbarians now, then we have not become more civilized.” Alas, we can readily observe them operating in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Isn’t cutting off the hands of thieves, like the Saudis do, barbaric? This modern age, like the past, has a range of moral behavior from the “very civilized” of the west to “very uncivilized’ in some other parts of the world. I bet the majority of Americans would say we are the most civilized nation on the planet. After all, we’ve taken being civilized to the limit. We not only won’t kill people, we won’t insult them. In contemporary America, calling a person “fat” is uncivilized.
Why the Roman Republic Failed and What It Means to Us - Part V (last in the series)
We have talked about the fall of the Republic and the reasons for it, but have not analyzed what it means to us. To find meaning, we have to consider the problems of Rome and see if they apply today.
As we have said in previous posts, the central revolutionary drivers in the Republic were poor governance leading to a power vacuum, class instability, and the army as a kingmaker. Which of these issues, if any, could destroy the American Political System? To answer this question, we have to squint into the future. The United States has only existed half as long as the Roman Republic so it could be stable for a long time yet. The fact that there are no serious problems now should not lead one to believe the coast is clear for the future, however. In another century or two the American Political System could die from fatigue like so many others have done in the past.

The AP presented an argument asserting that their exclusion from prominent White House spaces was a violation of their constitutional rights, particularly the First Amendment. They contended that this restriction inflicted irreparable harm and urged the court to consider the public interest in having unrestricted access to presidential communications and events.
In their request, the AP lawyers highlighted that they believed they were likely to prevail on the merits of their case, suggesting that the administration's actions were unjust and harmful to their journalistic integrity. They claimed this ban impeded their ability to serve the public's right to know and was especially egregious given that other media outlets continued to maintain access.
Court’s Rationale for Denial
Part 3/6:
Despite the AP’s appeals, the presiding judge, Trevor McFadden, found the organization did not meet the criteria necessary for a TRO. The court assessed the four essential factors typically examined in such motions: likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, balancing of equities, and public interest.
The conclusion drawn by the court was unequivocal; the AP failed to demonstrate the requisite showing necessary for relief. The judge’s succinct ruling noted that the AP had not effectively argued their case for immediate reinstatement.
Reactions from the White House
Part 4/6:
Following the ruling, Caroline Levitt, a spokesperson for the White House, expressed satisfaction with the court's decision. She reiterated the stance that access to intimate spaces such as the Oval Office should be considered a privilege, not a right. Levitt highlighted the administration's commitment to diversifying media representation in the White House, signaling a shift in policy towards including a broader array of journalists beyond traditional outlets.
Levitt emphasized that the legacy media’s longstanding control over press access would be reevaluated. She stated that more deserving outlets, particularly those that demonstrate a commitment to accurate reporting, would be welcomed into the briefing room and have the opportunity to cover the presidency more comprehensively.
Part 5/6:
New Moves in White House Media Access
Levitt further detailed a forthcoming transformation in how the White House Press pool will be organized. The administration intends to expand opportunities for various media types, including independent journalists, podcasters, and local radio hosts. This change aims to ensure that a wider range of voices can participate in covering the presidency, allowing for increased representation of what she termed "well-suited" outlets.
As part of this overhaul, traditional cable news networks will still maintain access, but they will share the space with new media entities. This initiative reflects an ongoing interest in an evolving media landscape, where alternative platforms can provide coverage alongside established news organizations.
Part 6/6:
Conclusion: Implications for Press Freedom
The recent ruling and the White House's strategic shift reveal a dynamic interplay between press freedom and governmental control over media narratives. While the AP's exclusion has raised concerns about transparency, the White House's plan to diversify media representation might pave the way for a more varied landscape of journalistic voices in presidential coverage.
As these changes unfold, it remains crucial to monitor their implications for the First Amendment, public discourse, and the vital role of journalism in democracy. The continuing tension between traditional outlets and new media will shape the future of political reporting and public access to information in the United States.

The Future Potential of Humanoid Robots: A Trillion-Dollar Market?
The discourse surrounding the future value of humanoid robots is heating up, stirring debate among analysts and enthusiasts alike. The conversation ranges from perspectives suggesting the robots may hold minimal economic value to those predicting they could ignite one of the most lucrative markets in history. Industry experts, including analysts like CERN Basher, envision extraordinary growth potential, while critics like Gary Black cast doubt, arguing the estimates could be significantly inflated.
Divergent Views on Market Potential
Part 2/11:
The discussion begins with two distinct viewpoints. On one side, analysts like CERN Basher advocate for an expansive view of what humanoid robots can achieve in various sectors, predicting an immense market cap growth, possibly even reaching thousands of trillions of dollars. Elon Musk himself has echoed sentiments about the vast potential, positing that the robots' utility could dramatically reshape the economy.
Part 3/11:
In contrast, Gary Black presents a more cautious outlook. His analysis suggests that the potential of humanoid robots is being overestimated, urging investors to contextualize claims about market value against existing economic structures, such as the total market cap of the S&P 500, currently hovering around $53.9 trillion. Black cautions against optimistic projections that ignore fundamental economic principles, arguing for a need to assess demand rather than merely supply.
The Limitless Nature of Humanoid Robots
Part 4/11:
Proponents of humanoid robots argue that the total addressable market (TAM) is not only vast but also still largely unknown. Unlike conventional economic models that rely heavily on fixed parameters, the integration of AI and robotic labor could lead to unprecedented levels of productivity. Humanoid robots promise to perform tasks traditionally done by humans across a plethora of sectors, unlocking efficiency and creating entirely new markets.
Part 5/11:
For instance, Basher has identified various industries ripe for disruption, including healthcare, home services, entertainment, logistics, manufacturing, education, defense, and hospitality. The advantages of deploying humanoid robots are compelling—they cost less to operate than human workers, do not fall ill, do not require healthcare benefits, and can be deployed in virtually any environment without the complications that come with human labor force management.
Economic Growth and Disruption
Part 6/11:
It is crucial to understand that the real potential lies not only in replacing existing jobs but in significantly disrupting productivity and thereby driving global GDP growth. The fixed robots of today differ vastly from the autonomous and intelligent models of tomorrow, which could dramatically revolutionize various industries.
As Basher explains, the potential revenue generated by humanoid robots across diverse sectors could lead to previously unimaginable economic expansion. The rise of intelligent labor enabled by these robots could create markets that dwarf current industries.
Mining the Solar System: An Endless Demand
Part 7/11:
One unanticipated opportunity for humanoid robots lies in their application within space exploration, particularly projects undertaken by SpaceX. The notion of mining resources such as water and helium-3 from celestial bodies presents vast economic potential. Helium-3, abundant on the Moon, could be used for fusion energy, opening up a new frontier in energy production. Estimates suggest that helium-3 on the moon could be valued between $2 to $15 trillion if practical fusion technology is developed.
Imagine a future where humanoid robots are deployed to operate in space, managing tasks associated with resource extraction, thereby fueling off-planet colonization. This scenario creates not just a new market but transforms our understanding of economic potential in the solar system.
Part 8/11:
Existing and Expanding Markets
While futuristic prospects are jaw-dropping, existing markets should not be underestimated. As Basher points out, luxury sectors currently employing human workers (like housekeepers or service staff) could see considerable growth as humanoid robots become more affordable. This expansion is predicted to be a hundred billion-dollar market as humanoid robots become commonplace, leading to cheaper, smarter, and more efficient labor across numerous sectors.
A Complete Paradigm Shift
Part 9/11:
The conversation around humanoid robots is ultimately one of imagination. Detractors like Black are urged to recognize that this is not merely an upgrade to existing robotic applications; it is a fundamental transformation in how labor is conceived and executed. As new markets emerge and old ones expand exponentially, the growth potential appears boundless.
With advancements in AI and robotics, the perpetual demand for humanoid robots is expected to create an ecosystem that permits exponential growth in these industries. Economic models based solely on traditional benchmarks such as the S&P 500 may, in fact, limit one's understanding of what is truly achievable in this brave new world of intelligent labor.
Part 10/11:
As speculation mounts, it is impossible to ignore the profound implications humanoid robots may have—their emergence could redefine not only industries but the very fabric of our economy. If the predictions hold true, forthcoming challenges in market valuations and economic growth could make today's projections seem trivial by comparison. Ultimately, what lies ahead may shock us all.
Conclusion
Part 11/11:
The future of humanoid robots has the potential to reconfigure industries and unlock new revenue streams. Although apprehension exists regarding the market's true size, the arguments presented showcase a powerful narrative of opportunity and innovation. As the technology continues to evolve, we may find ourselves standing on the precipice of a new economic era, one characterized by unprecedented growth driven by the intelligent capabilities of humanoid robots.

The Quest for Immortality: A Journey into Extreme Health
In a world where innovations in medical science and technology seem to rewrite the rules of human longevity, one individual's radical approach sparks debate about our mortality. What if we are on the brink of a revolution in life extension? Some, like the subject of this discussion, believe our generation may indeed be the first to potentially escape death altogether.
A Groundbreaking Perspective on Aging
Part 2/10:
In a discourse reminiscent of historical turning points, the speaker compares humanity's understanding of health to the ignorance that long held sway in the past. Just as 19th-century folks believed that infections were caused by "bad spirits," many today might dismiss the idea that microscopic entities—or more abstract concepts—could influence our lifespans. However, openness to new paradigms could lead to transformative ideas that might allow individuals to significantly extend their lives.
Pioneering Approaches to Health
Part 3/10:
Facing criticism for his choices and accessibility, this individual seems to adopt the stance of a "human guinea pig," exploring advanced technologies such as gene therapy to uncover ways to extend life. Despite the financial hurdles associated with these treatments, he advocates for celebration rather than condemnation of those walking this cutting-edge path. He presents his health journey as a transparent project aimed at helping humanity make informed choices about their health. By sharing his results openly, he encourages a broader discussion about sustainable health practices.
A Deluge of Support and Skepticism
Part 4/10:
While a substantial portion of feedback has been positive, some pushback inevitably arises. This person acknowledges that negative responses often garner more media attention. He argues that his extensive tracking of health biomarkers places him at the forefront of wellness—a claim he openly supports by sharing all of his data publicly. Instead of hiding behind a paywall, he believes in using his position to educate the masses, making his findings accessible to anyone who seeks to improve their health.
The Rigorous Routine of a Health Enthusiast
Part 5/10:
As the discussion shifts to the meticulous daily routines that define his approach to health, it becomes evident that the regimen is anything but ordinary. Rising at dawn, he utilizes strategic light exposure to set his circadian rhythm and boost mood. His mornings are a flurry of activities that include taking dozens of supplements, utilizing HRV therapy, engaging in intense workouts, consuming copious amounts of vegetables, and even adhering to sound therapy for hearing regeneration.
Part 6/10:
This intense regimen may seem overwhelming. Still, the individual insists that he finds joy in the process, viewing his quest for longevity as an exciting game rather than a burden. Contradicting the popular notion that health equates to deprivation, he asserts that his lifestyle affords him happiness, correlating well-being with healthy living rather than indulgence.
The Importance of Sleep in Longevity
Part 7/10:
Among his strict principles, sleep emerges as a pivotal aspect of maintaining health. He emphasizes that sleep is crucial—a sentiment that runs counter to societal norms that often glorify sleeplessness. By tracking his heart rate before bed, he has discovered that even minor fluctuations can have significant implications for sleep quality. His approach—eating his final meal by 11 a.m. to promote better digestion before sleep—is a cornerstone of his health philosophy.
His anecdote resonates with many who find comfort in snacking late at night at the expense of sleep quality. This person's insights challenge common habits, advocating for prioritizing sleep as a pathway to both physical and mental health.
A Candid Conversation on Lifestyle Choices
Part 8/10:
The conversation continues to navigate personal choices, touching on familiar temptations like sugary treats. One participant reflects on recent indulgences, sharing her experience of poor sleep as a consequence of late-night snacking. This candid exchange reveals a broader struggle faced by many in balancing pleasure and discipline in their health journeys.
Conclusion: The Future of Health and Longevity
Part 9/10:
As the conversation closes, the overarching theme remains clear: a shift in mindset toward health as a proactive endeavor rather than a reactionary one. By embracing a rigorous, data-driven approach to wellness, this individual's journey poses critical questions about human potential and the very concept of mortality. As society stands on the cusp of unprecedented advancements and discoveries, the exploration of what it means to live well—and perhaps even forever—continues to unfold.
Part 10/10:
The quest for extending human life is as much about scientific innovation as it is about a profoundly human desire to experience existence to its fullest. This journey into extreme health practices serves not only as a personal narrative but also as a potential blueprint for future generations navigating the complex tapestry of life and longevity.

The Rising Tide of Crime in New York City: An Escalating Threat
As crime once again finds its footing in New York City, residents are becoming increasingly alarmed. A recent series of purse snatching incidents on the Upper East Side highlights not only the desperation of the criminals but also the inadequacies of the local law enforcement. With a persistent wave of crime sweeping the city, it seems that lawlessness is becoming an unsettling norm.
Purse Snatchers Target the Vulnerable
Part 2/8:
The recent blitz of purse snatching has many residents feeling vulnerable. Police are currently investigating a crew of masked men who have been ambushing women, including a shocking incident involving a 71-year-old victim. This attack reflects a worrying trend of increased violence and opportunistic crime amidst a backdrop of under-resourced policing.
Witnesses to crime detail a group of sledgehammer-wielding thieves targeting businesses without any apparent fear of repercussions. Increasingly brazen attacks are occurring not just at night but during busy times of the day. With police resources being diverted to combat crime in the subway, these lower-risk street crimes have skyrocketed, leading to a state of heightened anxiety among the general public.
Part 3/8:
Criminals Outsmarting Understaffed Police
The landscape of crime in the city is further complicated by a justice system perceived to be "soft" on crime. Reports suggest that habitual offenders face little deterrence from the law, as arrests lead to quick releases courtesy of programs like supervised release, which fails to keep crime at bay. This creates a relentless cycle where criminals, buoyed by their lack of consequences, feel emboldened to commit more crime.
Part 4/8:
As insurance costs rise alongside crime rates, small businesses are caught in a bind. Thieves know they can swipe items easily, and the lack of accountability only fuels their reckless abandon. Burglaries occur in broad daylight, and unless a significant change is made to the legal footing of these actions, the cycle is unlikely to stop.
Changing Dynamics of Crime
High-end neighborhoods like Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where average rent surpasses $4,000, have not sheltered residents from this surge in criminal activity. Cardiologist Ellen Melo and other victims have felt the dangers acutely as they navigate their own neighborhoods, once considered safe.
Part 5/8:
With crimes becoming increasingly targeted rather than opportunistic, perpetrators are no longer restricting themselves to store fronts; they are now looking to ambush individuals based only on the potential rewards of their possessions. Surveillance footage from various incidents illustrates a recognizable and persistent pattern of operation.
A System on the Brink
Part 6/8:
The crux of the problem lies in a systemic failure of law enforcement and judicial practices. With a rising tolerance for theft and robbery, those who adhere to societal laws find themselves at the mercy of repeat offenders who operate without fear of imprisonment. New York City's progressive district attorney's office, often criticized for its leniency, faces backlash as crime rates continue to spiral upward. Despite the concerns, it appears the DA is headed for re-election, which raises questions about the electorate's understanding of the connection between escalating crime and lack of accountability.
Part 7/8:
Businesses are left scrambling to protect themselves, often investing in costly security measures that do little to deter crime. While a jewelry store was successfully protected by high-tech glass during one brazen daytime robbery, the cost of maintaining such measures adds pressure to their profitability.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
The situation in New York City underscores a crucial crossroad: either revisit the existing policies governing crime and punishment or continue down a path that renders law-abiding citizens as easy targets for criminal activity. As public safety hangs in the balance, the question remains: will the city take decisive actions to change its trajectory, or will it continue to glide along the precarious line of complacency?
Part 8/8:
As desperate criminals find glamour in their exploits and escape their consequences, the general populace becomes a mere bystander, living in fear within their own neighborhoods. The time for reflection and action is now. New Yorkers deserve to reclaim their streets and reignite a sense of security in their lives.

Government Reforms and Deficit Reduction: A Focus on Fraud and Waste
The recent dialogue surrounding government reform initiatives has underscored the urgency of addressing rampant fraud, waste, and inefficiency within governmental systems. Central to this initiative is a significant push led by prominent figures like Elon Musk and government officials, aimed at achieving substantial cost savings, potentially reaching one trillion dollars. The ambitious goals suggest a pivot towards more effective budget management, reminiscent of fiscal discipline that had been absent for decades.
The Imperative of Budget Balancing
Part 2/8:
There is a renewed sense of optimism about the possibility of balancing the federal budget, a notion previously considered unattainable. Discussions center around cutting billions from unnecessary expenditures, and raising the bar for accountability within government agencies. The administration's resolve seeks to uncover and eliminate fraud and inefficiencies, making budgetary control a key priority.
Dogecoin's Role in Government Efficiency
Part 3/8:
A fascinating element of this reform initiative includes the involvement of Dogecoin as a tool for improving government operations. Elon Musk defined his role as "CPL tech support," outlining how the Doge team is working to modernize antiquated government computer systems. These systems, often unreliable and fragmented, contribute to financial mismanagement. Musk emphasized that the national debt's interest has now surpassed defense spending, climbing to staggering levels that threaten governmental stability.
Part 4/8:
The overarching goal is to cut down on the $2 trillion deficit, with an ambitious target of finding up to a trillion dollars in savings—around 15% of the existing $7 trillion budget. Musk highlighted that achieving such savings is not just beneficial but essential; without action, the risk of national bankruptcy looms large.
Investigating Workforce Efficiency
Part 5/8:
Integral to this reform is a proactive approach to government employment. Recent communications have called into question the performance and very existence of certain government employees, with a specific focus on those who may not have been fulfilling their roles effectively. The efforts have included sending out emails asking federal employees to report on their recent contributions. Surprisingly, the response rate revealed that a significant number, around half, of employees hadn’t either responded or seemed unaccounted for.
Part 6/8:
President Trump reinforced this sentiment, suggesting that anyone who hasn’t responded could potentially be in jeopardy of being terminated. There is an ongoing assessment to determine who among the federal workforce is contributing meaningfully to their roles, with an emphasis on removing those who may be inefficacious or fictitious entities collecting paychecks.
Facing the Challenge of Accountability
Addressing a question about potential dissatisfaction within the cabinet regarding these initiatives, officials assured that the majority view aligns positively with the current reforms. President Trump praised his cabinet as one of the most capable in history, which sets a context for these dramatic personnel and structural changes.
Part 7/8:
Musk added clarity to the strategy behind the employee evaluations, intending not merely to hold a performance review but to gauge the problem of non-responsiveness within the government. The aim is to identify individuals that may either be deceased or entirely fictitious, as such entities should not be receiving taxpayer funds.
The Path Forward: Saving Amidst Reforms
Ultimately, this push for reform is not just a bureaucratic overhaul but a vital step towards restoring trust in government spending. As reforms progress, significant cuts are anticipated including those made by individual agencies assessing their own workforces. The concerted effort aims to expedite the process of eliminating inefficiencies to ensure taxpayer dollars are utilized appropriately.
Part 8/8:
In summary, the ongoing initiatives encapsulate a pivotal moment for government accountability, with modern tools and a renewed drive towards fiscal responsibility pushing the narrative of a country on the brink of significant positive change. The cooperation between innovative tech and government strategy signals a potential turning point for how America manages its finances and public service responsibilities moving forward.

Yankees Spring Training: A Quiet Camp with Intriguing Storylines
As spring training unfolds, the atmosphere around the New York Yankees' camp has been relatively calm. In an interview with Eric, a beat writer for Newsday, discussions revolved around key players, potential trades, and the changes in team dynamics, all of which are essential to the Yankees' aspirations for the upcoming season.
The State of Spring Training
Part 2/8:
Spring training typically brings a lot of excitement, and this year is no different, though the drama has been less intense compared to past years. Eric noted that this was his 17th year covering the Yankees, and by his standards, the current camp is quiet. The absence of John Carlos Stanton due to personal reasons is felt, but aside from that, the controversies are minimal. Particularly notable was the recent press surrounding Marcus Stroman, a newcomer with a reputation for being a difficult teammate elsewhere but has quickly become a beloved figure in the Yankees’ clubhouse.
Marcus Stroman: Earning His Keep
Part 3/8:
Marcus Stroman's assertion that he is a starter sparked headlines lately, prompting questions about his role on the team. Eric emphasized that this statement is rooted in truth; Stroman's track record of ten successful years as a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) backs up his claim. Currently, the Yankees feature five starters ahead of him: Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, Nestor Cortes, Clarke Schmidt, and Domingo Germán. Should they all remain healthy throughout spring training, it will pose an interesting dilemma for the Yankees regarding Stroman's future with the team.
Part 4/8:
As Eric pointed out, however, the unpredictable nature of health in MLB means that the Yankees may yet require Stroman’s services. A situation like this raises questions: What happens if all five starters perform well? The stock answer often given is that it will work itself out, but as Eric highlighted, this is not always the case. The dynamics of players being traded and injuries across the league could help define Stroman's position in the roster.
Offense Changes: Losing Juan Soto
Part 5/8:
The Yankees faced a significant loss with the departure of Juan Soto to the New York Mets. Though some believe the Yankees could be stronger top-to-bottom this year, opposing teams feel relieved that the formidable duo of Soto and Aaron Judge will no longer terrorize their pitching rotations. Eric provided insight into how opposing teams viewed Soto and Judge as a unique challenge that could disrupt game strategy, a dynamic that will no longer be present.
Despite the changes, Eric remained optimistic about the Yankees' capacity to adjust. With emerging players and potential new signings in the mix, there is uncertainty, but also excitement surrounding how the lineup will establish itself as the season progresses.
Trade Rumors and Potential Additions
Part 6/8:
Another subplot gaining traction involves potential trades for players like Nolan Arenado, who is reportedly open to moving to a competitive team such as the Yankees. Although finances and current salaries are a concern, Eric noted that the Yankees may pursue this option should a trade for Stroman materialize. This potential acquisition could add depth and experience to the roster, fulfilling both the Yankees' needs for a third baseman and a powerful bat in the lineup.
The Changing Face of the Yankees: Grooming and Policies
Part 7/8:
An interesting aspect of the current camp is the recent change in the Yankees' grooming policy, traditionally known for being strict. Under new leadership, it appears that the team is softening its stance on facial hair and other personal expressions. Aaron Judge spoke about the significance of this change, indicating that players should be free to express themselves and that a player's decision to join the Yankees shouldn't hinge on grooming policies.
While it may not seem significant to some, Eric and others believe these changes could have long-term implications for the team culture and overall appeal, especially among younger fans. It signals a shift towards a more inclusive and flexible environment that adjusts to contemporary values.
Conclusion
Part 8/8:
As the New York Yankees move further into spring training, the combination of relatively low drama, key players' adjustments, and significant personnel changes shapes a unique narrative for the team this season. From dealing with the potential of starting pitcher Marcus Stroman to adapting to the loss of Juan Soto, every development counts. The blend of traditional values and modern changes in grooming policies promises to create an intriguing atmosphere as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Eric's insights shed light on a multifaceted team dynamic that could play a crucial role in determining the Yankees' success or challenges this year.
In the meantime, let us consider Rome’s problems directly. I see poor governance as an issue today; particularly if paired with class instability. I don’t see the military as a factor. The American Armed Forces have no tradition of opposition to our political system and the fact that they report to the President makes for a strong link to the national government.
Bureaucracy is a risk factor. Max Weber considered bureaucracy as one of the great evils of the modern capitalist society. He saw its dangers as the de-personalization of humanity and the rise of a structure designed to serve its own interests rather than those of policy makers. The more socialist the society, the more bureaucratic it must become -- interesting in light of the current debate over the role of government put forward by the Obama administration. Because bureaucracy can’t be undone, it threatens to use up dollars that should go to recipients of the programs the bureaucracy was created to help.

The Disconnect in the WNBA: A Closer Look at Economics and Reality
The ongoing struggles of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) have sparked a passionate dialogue about economics, market demand, and the realities of professional sports. The players appear to possess a fundamental misunderstanding of economic concepts, particularly relating to supply, demand, and the value of their product. This article examines these ideas and their implications for the future of women's basketball.
The Economics of Supply and Demand
Part 2/7:
With a growing number of players and games, the WNBA's supply might be plentiful. However, the critical issue lies in the apparent lack of demand for the product. Despite an increase in visibility, efforts to promote lesser-known players, and celebrations of individuals like Diana Taurasi, the question remains: are these tactics translating to sustained viewership and attendance? The concept of demand is essential here—the lack of audience engagement raises significant concerns about the viability of the WNBA moving forward.
Celebrating Legends: A Misguided Honor?
Part 3/7:
Taurasi's retirement, while celebrated by the league and its players, raises more questions than it answers. As the "greatest of all time" within a niche field, can Taurasi's accolades truly be compared with global giants of sports like Michael Jordan or Tom Brady? The disparity between the leagues and the career achievements of WNBA players emphasizes a bigger narrative—one that may not resonate with a broader audience. When retirement games don't fill arenas, the implications for the league's bottom line become increasingly dire.
Player Demands and Market Realities
Part 4/7:
As the WNBA approaches another season, player demands for higher salaries bring to light a broader issue. With reported losses in the tens of millions, the pressure from players for significant raises begs the question: what have they done to earn such increases? The expectations of players, like Natasha Cloud, in the face of waning revenues suggest a deep disconnect from reality.
Caitlyn Clark, a standout athlete currently capturing media attention, serves as a touchstone for discussing player compensation. However, the reliance on a single player’s drawing power raises further concerns about the sustainability of the league. Should Clark, or any players, falter, the consequences would be detrimental.
A Culture of Complaining: The Impact on Fans
Part 5/7:
As players voice their grievances, often through social media and public outbursts, it alienates a segment of their audience. Complaining about salaries despite low ticket sales does not foster goodwill among existing or potential fans. Instead of promoting engagement, the focus shifts toward conflict, which might further dissuade viewers from investing time and money in the league.
The Future of the WNBA: A Fragile Framework
The trajectory of the WNBA appears uncertain. With players poised to demand unprecedented salaries amidst reports of annual losses, there’s a risk of creating a toxic environment across the league. If unaddressed, the situation could lead to labor disputes or even the threat of canceled games, reminiscent of struggles in other sports leagues.
Part 6/7:
Conclusion: A Call for Realistic Reflection
The situation facing the WNBA brings to light the essential need for realistic evaluation and strategic planning within the league. As athletes claim to champion progress and represent their brand, a collective push towards sustainability rather than entitlement may yield better results. As professional athletes navigate complex economic landscapes, embracing the basic principles of market dynamics—while engaging their audience positively—could turn the tide for women’s basketball in the years to come.
Part 7/7:
In the coming months, fans and stakeholders alike will need to watch closely as the WNBA negotiates its future, balancing player aspirations against economic realities. The challenge lies in finding a path forward that respects the athletes' contributions while ensuring the long-term viability of the league itself.
Caesar Against Vercingetorix – The Siege of Alesia
In 52 B.C. Julius Caesar, near the end of his war against Gaul, had one great enemy left in his path – Vercingetorix. The latter was a young Arvernian - charismatic, confident, and incited against Rome. Expelled from Gergovia, for being too rash, Vercingetorix raised an army on his own, and assumed the role of commander. His strategy against Caesar was simple -- use superior cavalry to harass the Romans and drive them away. Caesar, understanding his own weakness, compensated by recruiting Germans to strengthen his own cavalry units. Then, after a series of reversals, Vercingetorix was forced to retreat to the walled city of Alesia for protection. Alesia had a five mile perimeter wall six feet high with a trench in front of it. The surrounding terrain favored the defenders because it was uneven with many hills and small rivers.

Part 1/8:
The Complex Reality of Emotional Attachment
Emotional attachment is often regarded as one of the most significant forces binding human relationships. Despite its profound implications, the nuances of emotional bonds between individuals can be difficult to grasp. The unpredictability of these connections becomes even more evident when one partner decides to leave, and the impact of that decision echoes long after.
Understanding the Aftermath of Separation
Part 2/8:
In the scenario of a woman leaving her husband, the residual emotional attachment can sometimes manifest in surprising ways. It raises questions: why do they come back, and what are their intentions? Often, a spouse may leave due to dissatisfaction or struggles of their own, creating a territory of unaddressed issues, including resentment and lost respect. This backdrop complicates the reunion when the partner reaches back out after years apart.
Part 3/8:
The experience of separation can be both shocking and revelatory, especially when one spouse unexpectedly seeks emotional support from the other post-divorce. Such encounters may stir deep feelings of nostalgia and compel individuals to reconsider their past relationships. However, as illustrated through personal anecdotes, these moments often mask underlying patterns of manipulation and control.
Patterns of Manipulation and Control
Part 4/8:
As one explores the nature of these post-separation interactions, it becomes apparent that they may serve a dual purpose. On one hand, the person reaching out may indeed be in crisis and genuinely need support; on the other hand, there lies an element of testing the waters—reinforcing one's power and influence over the other. This dynamic can manifest as revisiting old memories and reminiscing about the past, selectively revisiting times of happiness while conveniently glossing over the negativity that was present.
Part 5/8:
It is crucial to recognize that when a person returns to their partner after a breakup, they may unwittingly be attempting to reclaim emotional control. This may not always be a conscious act; it can stem from the deep-seated need for validation and assurance that they still have a place of safety to return to, regardless of the past turmoil.
The Risk of Rekindling
Engaging with an ex-partner, especially after a tumultuous separation, poses significant risks. The fear of re-entering a relationship where one partner holds emotional leverage can lead to a cycle of unhealthy dynamics. The returning partner, recognizing their vast influence over their ex, may reinforce their control through a combination of charm and emotional manipulation.
Part 6/8:
This control can become especially prominent when a partner returns for emotional reasons while disregarding the necessary and often painful discussions that need to occur. It becomes imperative for the individual on the receiving end to not only recognize these patterns but also guard against the temptation to revert to old dynamics.
Reclaiming Personal Power
To navigate the emotional maze that follows a relationship's end, one must establish a sense of self and avoid falling into the trap of emotional dependency. It is vital to prioritize self-worth and recognize that returning to a previous partner typically does not lead to healing or growth. Instead, the potential for renewed cycles of disappointment and emotional distress often emerges.
Part 7/8:
Furthermore, if children are involved, it is essential to create boundaries that limit emotional entanglement while maintaining necessary communication. However, the responsibility does not fall on one partner alone; it is a shared challenge that requires vigilance from both.
Conclusion: The Long Journey Towards Self-Reliance
Understanding that emotional attachment can be a powerful weakness serves as a guide for those navigating post-relationship dynamics. The journey toward reclaiming personal power lies in recognizing manipulative patterns and choosing self-preservation over fleeting nostalgia.
Part 8/8:
As individuals confront the complexities of emotional attachment, the message remains clear: maintaining distance from ex-partners is critical to fostering a healthier, more independent future. While the bonds of the past may always linger, the key to moving forward lies in the decision to heal and cultivate self-reliance.
Stay strong, and remember that while emotional bonds are indeed powerful, they can also be navigated successfully with self-awareness and determination. Avoid rekindling relationships that have burned down—embrace the opportunity for personal growth that lies ahead.
Que tengan un feliz almuerzo y una gran tarde.

It's not acceptable for the developer to purchase 80% of the supply using personal funds and then burn it to create a fair launch. However, it's considered fine for the developer to continuously dump tokens and exit with a decent profit.
@llamathreads, what are some examples in cryptocurrency space of both things @thebnbbull mentioned above?
Examples in Cryptocurrency Space
There are several examples in the cryptocurrency space that illustrate both scenarios mentioned by @thebnbbull.
Key Takeaways
These examples highlight the complexities and potential issues with token distribution and developer involvement in cryptocurrency projects.
It's essential to carefully evaluate the tokenomics and developer intentions before investing in any cryptocurrency project.
Moving Forward
It will be interesting to see how the cryptocurrency space evolves in terms of token distribution and developer involvement.
As the space continues to grow, it's crucial to prioritize transparency and fairness in token launches and distribution.

If you already have the keys I think there is a way to do that. I read a bunch of articles last time when I was looking a way to get the keys to my keystore account. I think peadk has the function. You should browse about it to see some Hive articles on how to do it.

I think one of the hardest hurdles to overcome with regards to building an HBD marketplace is that most of us at Hive are either below average income in our country and struggling， from countries where a few HBD can go a long way.....and then a bunch of us are just stingy 🙃

Also the difference in country makes it a little difficult for someone like me to earn money here. My classes in Tokyo cost $35 which is completely reasonable and any less would make it hard to survive....

Well, what I think is that most people have little knowledge about online business.
True, but how many people at Hive are willing to spend their HBD? It's probably less than 20%. They come here to earn and HODL or sell.
Personally, if I have a place where I can spend HBD directly, I will gladly take advantage of it. Another thing is that there are no many Hive users in most places for someone to get patronage.
very True, so spending and transacting HBDs may not boom so quickly because of that

Many believe that Bitcoin can't increase by 100% in just a weekend or overnight.
Since it hasn't occurred previously, it's assumed it won't happen again.
But that's not accurate.
The price of Bitcoin is determined at the margin.
If a significant buyer attempts to purchase more than what is accessible, the price will inevitably rise to meet their demand.
Who can say for certain that a country won't decide to print more money and acquire every coin available across all exchanges?

Part 1/11:
Exploring the Haunted Selma Mansion: A Journey Into the Unknown
As we step into the haunting ambiance of Selma Mansion, located in Norristown, Pennsylvania, it becomes clear that this historic building is laden with stories—both from its past inhabitants and the spirits that seemingly linger within its walls. The mansion has garnered a reputation for being a hotspot for ghostly encounters, and as our investigation begins, we delve into the eerie experiences that have perplexed and captivated visitors over the years.
A Grumpy Spirit: Encounters in the Basement
Part 2/11:
On our journey through the mansion, we hear tales from the caretaker who describes interactions with what seems to be a grumpy spirit. This spirit, described as an old resident, is known for throwing things—not with malice, but seemingly in a playful manner. One haunting incident recounted involves a violent encounter with a flying fence post that made contact with someone's back. Rather than succumbing to fear, the caretaker responded angrily, indicating a certain familiarity with the house's ghostly inhabitants.
Part 3/11:
The basement, often shrouded in darkness, has been the stage for many reported encounters. Here, reflections of the past collide with present day, as the caretaker reiterates reports of a female spirit, Martha, who has been sighted in the kitchen area, dressed in period attire. Her presence is felt through the ringing of doorbells that echo when no one is present, a sign of a heartbeat lingering from times long gone.
Interactive Spirits: The Presence of Mrs. Cornelius
Part 4/11:
The second floor offers a different energy, particularly in what has been dubbed "Mrs. Cornelius' room." Visitors often remark upon experiencing a feeling of warmth and tenderness associated with this particular spirit. Flowers, specifically roses, hold significant meaning; guests are encouraged to bring them as gestures of goodwill, and many report feelings of being hugged or communicated with in return.
Echoes of laughter from children on the upper levels of the mansion add to the unique tapestry of energies within Selma Mansion. The children's laughter, often marked by playful movements—such as toys mysteriously rolling on their own—captures a sense of innocence and nostalgia, further enveloping the investigators in a veil of mystery.
The Third Floor's Protective Gent
Part 5/11:
As our investigation steers towards the potentially perilous third floor, we are warned of a more aggressive spirit that has been known to assert its presence through pushing and banging doors. There's an inexplicable unease about visiting this area alone, and it is advised to remain in groups. The atmosphere shifts; a gentler spirit on the previous levels feels overshadowed by a masculine presence that fields a sense of protective authority.
Part 6/11:
Michelle, a psychic featured during our exploration, describes sensing various spirits throughout the mansion—insubstantial echoes of individuals who have passed through the space and left their imprints on this historic dwelling. Her intuition hints that the atmosphere carries both mischievous and mischievous elements, blurring the lines between harmless play and more aggressive intentions.
Capturing the Unseen: An Investigation Begins
Part 7/11:
With the floor layout scouted and the equipment set for investigation, our team prepares to tap into the unseen energies within Selma Mansion. As a haunting yet familiar smell fills the air on entering, we each take steps to share our previous encounters and the strange sensations felt. A historical absence of documented experiences allows for a fresh perspective—free from preconceived notions about which locations within the mansion are truly the most active.
Part 8/11:
The expedition is anything but routine, as one member recounts their past experience of hearing breathy voices echoing in the vicinity, confirming that they were indeed not alone. This personal connection underscores not just the intrigue of the mansion’s legends but also the bonds forged between those connected to its history and the spirits that now fill its halls.
The Unveiling of Selma Mansion's Secrets
Part 9/11:
The investigation leads us toward the basement, an extremely unsettling yet undeniably fascinating place. As members of the team venture deeper into this area, they later reflect on the strangeness of their experiences, unable to shake the feeling that they are never truly alone. Each nook and cranny of this opulent mansion holds a memory, representing the lives once lived and the spirits striving for remembrance.
Part 10/11:
As the exploration concludes, a consensus arises regarding the interaction between the past and the present. The Selma Mansion stands not only as a historical monument but as a living testament to the uncanny occurrences experienced by countless individuals. The lingering spirits, both gentle and grumpy, help articulate a larger narrative—a mixture of life, laughter, and tales yet to be told.
Part 11/11:
In essence, Selma Mansion's allure as a haunted house does not solely rely on its ghostly inhabitants. Instead, it becomes a reflection of human history intertwined with the supernatural, beckoning adventurers and paranormal enthusiasts to step inside and uncover the secrets held within its haunted walls. Here, every creaking floorboard whispers tales of yore, every whisper of the wind might be a spectral invitation, and every visit to the mansion becomes an emblematic journey into the vast unknown.

Part 1/10:
Exploring the Haunted Basement: An Investigation into the Unknown
In a world where the supernatural often intertwines with reality, the allure of ghost hunting and paranormal investigations brings people together in pursuit of understanding what lies beyond the veil of the living. Join Heather and Katrina on their recent adventure as they delve into the mysteries of an old Pennsylvania house, uncovering strange sensations, eerie sounds, and potential spirits lingering in the shadows.
Setting the Scene
Part 2/10:
The investigation starts in the basement, a dark and foreboding space filled with an air of uncertainty. Armed with basic equipment—a Polaroid camera, audio recorders, and an REM pod for detecting disturbances—the two friends embark on their journey. They are acutely aware of the atmosphere around them, noting a palpable intensity that comes alive in the absence of light.
Initial Sensations
Part 3/10:
Once they settle into the basement, both Heather and Katrina express feelings of unease. Even the seemingly innocuous arrangement of a circle of chairs sends shivers down their spines. Heather describes a distinctive cold breeze brushing against her arm, a stark contrast to the warmth of the summer day outside, underscoring the eerie dichotomy of the environment. The air feels stagnant yet charged, as if a watchful presence sits silently among them.
Communicating with the Unknown
Part 4/10:
As they attempt to reach out to whatever may dwell in the basement, a distant noise interrupts their musings, resembling a snapping sound echoing from an adjacent room. The investigators demonstrate a blend of curiosity and humor as they playfully suggest the possibility of a shadowy figure creeping toward them. However, Katrina's exploration reveals a more profound connection as she begins to sense different energies—entities that seem both human and disoriented by the changing landscape around them.
The Basement's Secrets
Part 5/10:
Katrina's impressions lead her to believe there are layers of communication amidst the residual energy that permeates the basement. She expresses her belief in the presence of spirits from various time periods, including a younger male and a female spirit, hinting at an intriguing history yet to be uncovered. The duo decides to explore the second floor next, driven by the feelings of intensity that had initially drawn Heather’s attention.
Ascending to the Second Floor
Part 6/10:
Their investigation shifts to the second floor, where they immediately notice a stark difference in ambiance. The rooms contain distinct scents reminiscent of old perfumes, concocting a sense of nostalgia and mystery. As they probe further, Heather's experience in the building prompts her to imagine the property in its prime—an older time before bustling roads and modern dwellings overshadowed what once might have been a cherished home.
A Game of Presence
Part 7/10:
The investigation becomes an interactive experience as both women openly invite any potential spirits to alert them of their presence. Armed with playful suggestions of games such as hide and seek or copycat, they engage with the energies around them, hoping to evoke any form of response. They ask the spirits to ring bells or knock in acknowledgement, and though the atmosphere feels electrified with anticipation, no direct replies emerge.
The Tension of Solitude
Part 8/10:
As they prepare to undertake solo investigations, a familiar sensation returns—the unmistakable chill that follows one’s instincts when something is amiss. The duo hypothesizes that a solitary experience might provoke a different type of interaction with whatever may exist in the house. They separate, venturing into the creaking rooms alone in hopes of harnessing their vulnerability to attract more paranormal phenomena.
Wrapping Up the Encounter
Part 9/10:
As Heather embarks on her solo journey, she too encounters the inexplicable cold breezes that had previously haunted Katrina. A sense of unease permeates, but also a thrilling curiosity about what may answer her call. The invisible line between their world and the next blurs, and in the haunting silence of the house, there remains a yearning for understanding—a desire to make contact and dissect the enigmas that linger.
Conclusion: The Unfinished Journey
Part 10/10:
While the investigation does not yield conclusive answers, it encapsulates the essence of paranormal hunting—the communion between the living and the lost. Heather and Katrina's experience together in the old Pennsylvania house unravels layers of the past, inviting both fear and fascination as they strive to comprehend energies dancing just beyond sight. As they leave the building, the echoes of their adventure linger in their minds, a testament to the unexplainable mysteries hidden within forgotten walls.

Part 1/8:
Exploring the Haunting of Selma Mansion: A Paranormal Investigation
The thrill of the unknown captivates many, especially those drawn to the art of ghost hunting. In a recent investigation at the Selma Mansion, two paranormal enthusiasts, Heather and Katrina, embarked on a journey to uncover potential supernatural activity. With a blend of emotion, tension, and unexpected encounters, the duo documented their compelling experiences through video and audio recordings.
Beginning the Investigation
Part 2/8:
The night began with Heather finding herself alone in a seemingly abandoned mansion, with her investigative partner, Katrina, outside. Feeling a strong energy within the children’s room, Heather set the stage for her exploration. With an array of props, including trigger objects and a motion sensor, she aimed to provoke communication from any lingering spirits.
As she initiated her EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recording, she asked simple yet powerful questions, such as “Are there any little kids up here?” The haunting atmosphere intensified as Heather reported unusual electronic noises, amplifying her sense of curiosity. The ping of her motion sensor only heightened her anticipation, making it clear that something—whether physical or metaphysical—was occurring.
Engaging with Spirits
Part 3/8:
Soon after setting up her gear, Heather returned to her initial location, hoping for a connection with the spirits. With a photo of a woman and some flowers as potential triggers for activity, she asked questions meant to draw out the ghostly inhabitants.
Feeling the presence of a gentle breeze on her arm—akin to what Katrina previously experienced—Heather sought further interaction, requesting that the spirit could make its presence known through touch. However, the ensuing EVP playback revealed an unsettling silence, leaving her yearning for confirmation of the paranormal stories surrounding the mansion.
In a playful challenge to the spirit, she called for Katrina, hoping that the energy might respond more positively to her friend as she relinquished the space to her partner.
Part 4/8:
Katrina’s Turn to Shine
With Heather's exploration concluded, it was Katrina's turn to conduct her solo investigation. Nearly overwhelmed, she expressed her discomfort and nervousness, yet remained determined to engage. In an attempt to connect with the spirit realm, she sought a response to her inquiries, encouraging any presence to showcase their existence through knocks or the motion sensor apparatus.
Shortly into her investigation, Katrina heard distinct footsteps echoing in the hallway. Heightened by the presence of chill-inducing energy, she wrestled with the unnerving feeling of being closely watched. The atmosphere around her suggested that the spirits were aware of her presence and, as if on cue, she experienced another cold breeze brushing against her wrist.
Part 5/8:
Journeying Upwards: Exploring the Third Floor
Feeling propelled by the unknown, Katrina ascended to the third floor, where she encountered more sounds and whispers. Reporting the sensation of movement below, she deliberated on whether these spirit connections were more pronounced due to the mansion's fluid energy of the night—a dance between silence and expression.
She noted how the spirits' presence ebbed and flowed, suggesting that the outcomes of each encounter may vary from night to night. The palpable energy in the building swirled around her, evoking the sense of being in a living space that housed remnants of past lives.
Uniting Experiences
Part 6/8:
After the individual investigations, Heather and Katrina regrouped to share their findings. They highlighted overlapping sensations, rooms of interest, and noted the prevalent feeling of a protective spirit—a woman perhaps tied rhythmically to the mansion and its legacy of children.
Through digital equipment, the duo attempted to establish communication with this protective figure, weaving the threads of their experiences into one cohesive narrative. As they delved deeper, they both felt a mix of intrigue and respect for the home, acknowledging that the spirits seemed comfortable yet also guarded.
Conclusion: A Home, Not a Haunted House
Part 7/8:
As the investigation drew to a close, both investigators reflected on the dynamic nature of Selma Mansion. They recognized that while the location might not have been aggressively haunted, it undoubtedly held significance and a connection to its past inhabitants.
Exiting the mansion, Heather and Katrina shared a mutual agreement that the mansion reflected a unique blend of protective energy, offering both warmth and an eerie allure. Emphasizing the mansion's role as a home, they left feeling validated in their experiences—convinced that the spirits of Selma Mansion would continue to intrigue and engage those who dared to seek them out.

Another creepy story.. lol
A friend that just registered through Keystore is trying to set up her account through Ecency but it's not going through. Tried accessing her downloaded keys to copy the private keys but file can't be opened.
What would she do?
#feedback
She can't view the key phrase and other keys downloaded from Keystore.
#feedback
she should have copied the seed phrase and the hive keys when she signed up.
The file downloaded with keystore is not a keys file.
If she didn't copied the keys as promoted she can still get them by importing the keys to keychain using the username and the seed phrase since that is the master key.
Also, get her to use InLeo XD
No, the seed phrase and Hive keys weren't copied while creating the account, thought downloading the file would take care of things.
So in essence, the use for the downloaded file is only for logging in via Keystore ?
yes, that is the purpose of the keystore file. You have to use the file and the encryption password to log in. But the seed phrase has to be copied and stored apart.
If there is no capture and no copy of the seed phrase, that account is lost
It cannot work. Here is how to get the active key for the account. On inleo, go to drop down menu and select premium, chose the Leo as the option for payment, click as if you want to initiate the payment, on the next page you will see your active key. Copy it and use it to sign up on hivesingner to login ecency or peadk.
Oh, this is brilliant. I'll try it tomorrow. Thank you.
My goal in life is to become so inspiring and overflowing with value that people throw money at me when I'm not even asking for it.
I just wish I had a big Upvote power I'll throw some Upvotes at you for saying this man 🔥🥹❤️👍
Thank you! That's good to know. One day you will so don't forget me, ok? ;-)
not possible I'll be with you everyday I'm alive and on Inleo bro... I basically check my following feed so I see all my new friends also with the kind of support u gave me, I can't forget
💚
Ha! That sounds like a great goal! :) On my way to that too hahah!
My brain started to worry about money again today....I have 4 classes total this week. That's down from 20 when things were going well. Next week I have 13, which is just enough to survive.
I know things will work out but damn.... the universe is testing me again.
Woah this much stress has happened to you before... 13 classes next week, not gonna lie that's a lot
I am wondering if I should just sell a big portion of my crypto during the next big pump. I think we should start our shop as soon as possible. Maybe move the plan from March 2026 to August 2025. Would suck to say goodbye to that much crypto though :-(
I think it's a great idea if the shop yields a bigger profit or it's something of greater passion, a perfect plan. Also as long as I have a significant amount of crypto stored it's great
Well depending on the markets, I may have to sell 3/5 of my crypto to make it happen. It would be devastating to me but I think it'd allow us to build a future where right now, we are just kind of barely scraping by and drained by other work.
3/5 is a lot but I believe it's absolutely worth the risk... Sorry for late reply on this, kinda didn't see notifications for this particular response earlier
I think it is smart to have a plan what to do with your crypto funds. If you dream is to open a store - I would not hesitate if my crypto allow me to pursue my dream!
!lolz
True.... I would hate to sell more than half, it kind of destroys my plan to be able to retire early, but it also allows me to pursue my dreams. I was hoping I could pursue my dreams AND have the option to retire at any time, but the universe may have other plans for me.
I will think about this. We are starting one way or another in the next 12 months. If I can do it without selling I will, but it's happening either way.

The universe is resistant to change. It has to be in order to hold itself together. That's why it tests us, to make sure our vibration is sturdy enough and devoted enough to the life we want to create.
It tests us in what way? I want to make sure I'm passing the test
If you ever see an unpleasant pattern in life, that's the test. Don't let it make you doubt yourself. You can change your plan but only from a place of "FUCK YEAH, LET'S DO THIS!"
Somehow this makes sense reading it.
Thanks alot. Sometimes it can be very intimidating and it looks like there's no way out.
I think it just requires a decision that you are going to beat the hell out of whatever keeps getting in your way. As soon as you start getting depressed or negative about it, it has you and you gotta break free as quickly as possible. Accept it, and then put all your energy where you believe your energy will have the best effect.
Find new energy too!
That some great idea Bro, will test this immediately that damn depression shows itself again. Thanks a lot
It's almost impossible to find good advice when you are trying to do things that no one else is doing.
The best thing you can do is just trust your own intuition and give it your all.

yes man, usually those who create the path have little to no advice to work with, your intuition is the only thing to rely on

LOL!!
Elon lives rent free in everyone's head!
Yeah! 😂 In European heads, he is probably the third most hated guy at the moment! 😀
He will not rest until he is first I don't believe 🤣
Well, there's a looong way to go since number one is obviously Putin, and the second place belongs to Putin's bitch, Donald Trump 😀.
LOL!!
They are all pretty good at being hate magnets.
They sure are! 😀 This day and age won't take despots kindly
