New research indicates a widely used food additive, carboxymethylcellulose, alters the intestinal environment of healthy persons, perturbing levels of beneficial bacteria and nutrients. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a synthetic member of a widely used class of food additives, termed emulsifiers, which are added to many processed foods to enhance texture and promote shelf life. It had long been assumed that CMC was safe to ingest because it is eliminated in the feces without being absorbed. Experiments in mice found that CMC, and some other emulsifiers, altered gut bacteria resulting in more severe disease in a range of chronic inflammatory conditions, including...

SNIP “I had a little future Wolverine, my son Jack, sitting on the bed with me as I was jumping around and we were wrestling and I said, ‘That’s where you’re gonna be! You’re gonna be in the Big House someday. You’re gonna be the starting quarterback for Michigan,'” Brady said. Brady’s pipe dream lasted about a millisecond as his wife, Gisele Bündchen, quickly brought him back down to Earth. “And my wife was like, ‘Just let him be what he wants to be, for God’s sakes!’” Brady said. “It was a great day for our family.” SNIP

The basic need is not that of changing all file names (multi commander has that in the menu) but that of changing the case of all the characters within a text that begin with http and end with html. The situational context (take deep breath) is of html files which used to work on a Windows server, but being now on a Linux server which are case sensitive - and with a unresolvable glitch (read on), then it seems that unless one can edit a server's httpd.conf then clicking on a link that begins with a upper case letter can...

South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman on Thursday introduced legislation that could force the Food and Drug Administration to release all documents relating to the coronavirus vaccine within the next 100 days. The legislation is a direct response to a request made last month by the federal agency to prolong releasing data on COVID vaccines for up to 55 years. "How does a vaccine that receives approval in 108 days now require 55 years just to release information?" Norman said to Fox News. "It sounds like the beginning of a very bad joke."

Explanation: Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the glory, flaunting their young, bright, blue star clusters in beautiful, symmetric spiral arms. But small galaxies form stars too, like nearby NGC 6822, also known as Barnard's Galaxy. Beyond the rich starfields in the constellation Sagittarius, NGC 6822 is a mere 1.5 million light-years away, a member of our Local Group of galaxies. A dwarf irregular galaxy similar to the Small Magellanic Cloud, NGC 6822 is about 7,000 light-years across. Brighter foreground stars in our Milky Way have a spiky appearance. Behind them, Barnard's Galaxy is seen to be filled...

FYI first person account of Covid internment at Howards Springs, Darwin Australia Just posted a few hours ago by Freddie Sayers on the yt “unherd” ( which btw is well worth watching intelligent discussion) channel just posted: https://youtu.be/mGFdWcJU7-0 A Young lady had contact with a friend who’d had contact with an alleged infected person.

Researchers have discovered that the protein α-endosulfine (ENSA) is involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Studies in mice showed that eliminating this protein entirely or using drugs to block its function reduced physical changes in the brain associated with the disease and improved memory. Drug therapy that aims to block ENSA activity could be a more effective treatment than what is currently available, as well as being cheaper. The hallmark of Alzheimer's disease in the brain is the accumulation of amyloid β peptide (Aβ). They discovered reduced levels of the enzyme neprilysin, which is caused by reduced levels of...

"Any Which Way You Can", the sequel to "Every Which Way But Loose", was a blockbuster hit starring Clint Eastwood way back in the year of 1980.

All the right moves….. We can expect the national media to go bananas as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a bold step in advancement of federalism with authorization and funding for the formation of a state militia known as the Florida State Guard During an event today in Pensacola Florida, the governor announced the creation of three new state-centric armories to support the new state guard units. One in the former airbase at Homestead, one in Gainesville and one in Malabar. As noted in the release, “The establishment of the Florida State Guard will further support those emergency response...

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news networks have gone four days without covering Black Lives Matter issuing a racist call to boycott white-owned businesses. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) plastered a Black Friday post on Instagram that told followers to celebrate “#BlackXmas” and “Skip the Black Friday sales and buy exclusively from Black-owned businesses.” More explicitly, the post spewed that followers should “#BankBlack - Move your money out of white-corporate banks that finance our oppression and open accounts with Black-owned banks.” But that’s not all: “White-supremacist-capitalism uses policing to protect profits and steal Black life,” the...

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza has responded to Alec Baldwin’s claim he ‘didn’t pull the trigger’ on the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. -snip- Mendoza told Fox News Digital that guns ‘don’t just go off’. He continued, ‘So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands.’ The Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department has explained it is currently awaiting results from the FBI that would shed light on how the gun fired, whether it involved just pulling back the hammer, which hits the firing pin, just pulling the trigger, or both.

Beverly Hills police Chief Mark Stainbrook identified the suspect as 29-year-old Aariel Maynor, a parolee with an extensive criminal history, whose vehicle was spotted on several surveillance videos driving eastbound out of the city shortly after the shooting that killed Avant. It was an “astute watch commander at Hollywood that, starting to put two and two together, and reached out to Beverly Hills,” according to LAPD Deputy Chief Blake Chow. Similarities between the two break-ins prompted Beverly Hills detectives to come out to Hollywood to investigate further.

A federal judge is questioning whether he has jurisdiction to hear a sprawling lawsuit against Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems that accuses the election technology company of organized crime and intimidating its critics. The named plaintiffs to the class action lawsuit, all of whom are in Michigan, allege Dominion has violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act — typically used to prosecute gangs, cartels and the Mafia — by sending cease and desist letters to those who defamed the company. “Generally, Plaintiffs are everyday Americans. They are fathers, mothers, daughters, and sons. They are the neighbor you say good morning...

Nothing Joe Biden does is useful. Nothing Joe Biden does is in the interest of the US. He is smothering the country with radical leftist policies, wreaking havoc with the economy and causing pain from sea to shining sea. In October 2020 Biden said of the pandemic “And so, folks, I will take care of this. I will end this.” Here's a nice mashup of Biden's promises Joe Biden REPEATEDLY promised to “shut down the virus.” He failed.pic.twitter.com/Yhffn1GXls— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) December 2, 2021He also said something else notable on that day in October: “220,000 Americans dead.
