A reduction in the amount of time spent physically active when adults are over sixty years old is linked to lower quality of life, a new study of almost 1,500 adults has shown. The same was also true for increases in the amount of sedentary time, such as watching TV or reading. The researchers say this highlights the need to encourage older adults to remain active.

19 November 2022 - #Extreme #Solar #Activity Due to a Special Planetary Alignment?
Hello Everybody

On 19 November 2022 - just a couple of weeks away - there is a very special #planetary #alignment set to occur. It is a variation of a pattern that has been shown previously to be associated with major earth/solar changes.

In the video below, I provide a number of past examples of variations of the core pattern in question, detailing how they have produced unusual solar activity (935 AD, 1921 AD, 1973 AD), as verified by historical records. In doing so, I thus propose that the conjunction pattern set to occur on 19 November 2022 may also produce notable disruptive effects. Quite possibly an #X-flare event even. The analysis is as follows:

A quotation from Dyson, Freeman

There is an enormous variety of things we’ve discovered that we never dreamed of, like, for example, black holes, pulsars, quasars, all these unbelievably active goings-on in the universe. Which in Aristotle’s time the universe, the sky, was supposed to be quiescent, it was supposed to be perfect and peaceful, and nothing ever happened in the celestial sphere; and that remained true, actually, throughout all of the revolutions. It remained the general view of astronomers right through Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and everybody else, still, the universe looked very quiescent — until just the last thirty years, and now we know it’s not like that at all. In fact the universe is full of violent events, and fantastic, strong gravitational fields, and collapsed objects, and huge outpourings of energy. All these things were discovered in the last thirty years.

Freeman Dyson (1923-2020) English-American theoretical physicist, mathematician, futurist

‘Mind-reading’ device to detect #porn could speed #China’s policing of illicit content, say researchers

  • Electrical #engineering team combine the power of humans and #AI to create a #prototype device that sounds an alarm when an indecent image appears
  • But an observer says there is no law to regulate the use of such objects, which could be used by censors, or to protect the data they collect

The whole thing is pretty ridiculous. Because #pornography is forbidden in China, the censors had problems to get appropriate material. The internet is full of porn but not in China because of the big firewall. For testing, they ended up using material with black bars as shown in the photo above. Only such material can be used legally in China. What they have found out scientifically now is probably that there are people who are attracted to this black and white zebra porn and react accordingly with brain #activity.
