Cross-Chain communication protocol platform LayerZero has
crossed 50 million cross-chain messages, as revealed by the platform on Tuesday, July 25.
This significant milestone proves the massive trading activity and
cross-chain token swaps that happen across several chains
daily.
LayerZeros Impressive Growth
The 50-million cross-chain messages is undoubtedly a testament
to how much LayerZero has achieved in the space. Due to the
projects disruptive vision, it has received enormous backing from
some of the ecosystems biggest Venture Capitalists (VC).
Three months ago, LayerZero raised $120 million from prominent
backers like auction company Christies, renowned VC firms Sequoia
Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, Capital market company Samsung
Next, OpenSea Ventures, and Circle Ventures. What is more
impressive is that LayerZero was valued at $3 billion during this
Series B funding round, almost three times its $135 million
valuation during the funding round held back in 2022.
This remarkable feat has also come during the lingering crypto
bear market when many have felt that the outlook in the industry
will be negative. That is why it is easy to share the sentiments of
the CEO of LayerZero Labs when he stated:
LayerZero is to blockchains what the internet was to computing
clusters. LayerZero allows chains not only to build bridges (to
transfer assets/value between them) but send and execute arbitrary
data just like a packet on the internet. What this means is that
you can now build applications that are orders of magnitude more
complex than existing applications and do so with a completely
seamless experience between chains.
Blockchain interoperability remains the foremost issue in the
Web3 space. Furthermore, this has greatly hindered some from
venturing into the space, and it is well-known that if crypto is to
enjoy mainstream adoption, this issue needs to be dealt with. That
is why interoperability protocols like LayerZero are key
in the blockchain ecosystem.
It is common knowledge that the interoperability issue stems
from how blockchains have different protocols and standards that
make them incompatible. However, platforms like LayerZero bridge
this gap by facilitating seamless and direct communication between
different blockchain networks, making it easy for users on networks
like Ethereum, Aptos, Solana, and SUI to move their digital assets
across these chains.
Wen Airdrop?
The question of if LayerZero will carry out an airdrop has been
on the lips of many members of the LayerZero community. Although
the team has been tight-lipped over whether or not there will
indeed be an airdrop to users, the signs are becoming more glaring
that one may, in fact, be on the horizo...
We've all had 'that' feeling: when our mood suddenly changes or
we sense an 'atmosphere' on entering a room. There is a distinct
quality that connects these experiences it's a shift in how we
sense a person or a place, often referred to as a 'vibe'.
Vibes matter because they have the power to change the way we feel
and behave.
Garret Yount PhD has been researching the science of 'energy vibes'
for over 20 years. In Why Vibes Matter he explains what can lead us
to experience a 'vibe' or a shift in energy and how to harness
their power.
Looking at where vibes come from and how they affect us Garret
reviews the research and explains the science behind our reactions.
Practical tools and techniques will help you attune to your own
vibes and learn how to influence them in the wisest possible
way.
Garret Yount, PhD, is a Scientist at the Institute of Noetic
Sciences. Dr. Younts primary interest is bridging molecular
neurobiology with aspects of consciousness and the nonmaterial
mind. He began his formal studies in consciousness research with a
small grant from the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1995, which
allowed him to work with biofield practitioners and spiritual
healers in the laboratory. Dr. Yount was among the first scientists
to be awarded a Research Project Grant (R01) from the National
Institutes of Health to study energy healing. He has spoken
nationally and co-authored peer-reviewed papers on the topic of
establishing rigorous guidelines for research into biofields and

AITA for not including my SIL in photos during my bachelorette
party because she wore white?
Im getting married (yay!) and my brother John asked me to
include his girlfriend Sarah as a bridesmaid as a way to get her
involved with our family since he wants to propose soon.
I wasnt happy (shes quite snobbish, almost in a comically
villainous way. She once made fun of the fact that I get most of my
groceries from the local big box superstore and not somewhere with
more high quality product).
But I love John and it mattered a lot to him, so I agreed.
Onto the issue: on the final night of my bachelorette party, we
decided to have one big meal that was really pricey and fancy that
we all saved up for. Sarah said she had to take an emergency work
meeting and for us to go ahead first (the restaurant was walkable
from our hotel).
Guys, when Sarah showed up, I was FLOORED. She came in a white

First Digital USD (FDUSD), a newly introduced stablecoin
scheduled to make its debut on Binance on Wednesday has now faced a
halt due to technical
difficulties.
A Bumpy Start To The FDUSD Journey
The expected listing of FDUSD on Binance was initially set for
July 26, 2023. To incentivize traders, Binance planned to offer
zero maker fees for all FDUSD trading pairs. However, due to
technical issues encountered by the FDUSD pairs liquidity
providers, the launch was postponed.
Trading was halted at 09:45 (UTC), and all pending FDUSD orders
were canceled, reflecting the exchanges commitment to user
protection amid these unforeseen circumstances.
In response to these technical glitches, Binance rescheduled the
FDUSD listing for the same day at 14:00 (UTC). However, the delay
caused by the technical issues put a temporary damper on the
excitement surrounding the FDUSD launch.
First Digital USD: Just Another Stablecoin?
First Digital Group, a conglomerate including Hong Kong-based
First Digital Trust, a custodian and trust firm, unveiled the plan for
the FDUSD stablecoin in June. Backed by FD121, the stablecoin,
pegged to the US dollar on a 1:1 ratio, promised to be fully backed
by cash and cash equivalents held in regulated financial
institutions segregated accounts.
The reserves are said to be under constant audit and monitoring
by independent third parties, assuring investors of the coins
stability.
Beyond the initial hiccups, the ambition driving the creation of
FDUSD is worth noting. The First Digital Group envisages FDUSD to
be more than a simple programmable digital asset.
FDUSD is designed to be compatible with Web3 technologies,
positioning it to potentially aid in the creation of future
solutions. The stablecoin is able to interact with financial smart
contracts, escrow services, and insurance protocols without
requiring intermediaries. This integration aims to bridge the gap
between traditional finan...

He could have walked home that night. It was less than two

instead he wrapped it around a power pole. No one was hurt,

El
Chapulin. All images George Rodriguez, shared with permission
Antennae spring from the crown of a grasshopper, and an alert
expression characterizes a cacomixtles beady eyes in George Rodriguezs vibrant portraits of Mexican fauna.
In his ongoing Mexican Zodiac series, the artist
takes inspiration from the Great Race myth and the birth of the Chinese
zodiac. I wanted to continue to explore themes of protection,
inclusion, and sanctity using the Chinese zodiac as a framework, he
tells Colossal. I was also inspired by Ai Weiweis
Circle of Animals sculpture recreating the 12 animal heads of the Old
Summer Palace in Beijing.
Rodriguez initially made all of the Chinese zodiac animals in
homage to the original stories, then landed on the idea of bringing
the narrative closer to his own home and creating a parallel
Mexican version. Instead of the Year of the Rat, it would be el Ao
del Chapuln (grasshopper), he says. Instead of Year of the Tiger,
it would be el Ao del Jaguar. I have fun translating the different
animal characteristics into animals that would be found in and
around Mexico.
In the past, people owned real estate for its utility value,
which is characterized by the fact that you can live in it or use
it for production. However, today, most people, especially wealthy
individuals and institutions, own real estate to store value. In
addition,
from about 2008 to 2022, there has been a low to negative interest
rate policy around the world, which has prompted investors to
withdraw their savings from the bank and invest them.
But even more recently, macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds
have exposed the weakness of real estate as a physical store of
value and demonstrated the benefits of bitcoin as a digital store
of value.
The Litecoin (LTC) price decrease was a healthy retracement as
it pulled back toward the $92 mark. Such retracements are standard
after prolonged upward trends and are often seen as an opportunity
for the market to find stability before continuing its upward
trajectory.
However, in the case of Litecoin, the bears have become
increasingly dominant, signaling potential resistance ahead.
LTC has been facing a significant price drop, falling below the
crucial $90 level to $89.47, as reported by CoinGecko. The altcoin
experienced a minor 0.3% increase in the last 24 hours, which
hardly compensates for the troubling seven-day slump of
3.6%.
This sharp decline has sparked concerns among investors and
traders, as the once-promising bullish momentum seems to have taken
a dramatic turn for the worse.
Litecoin Struggles To Surpass $92
One key factor contributing to the current bearish trend is
Litecoins inability to climb past the $92 mark. LTC has repeatedly
failed to breach this level and has instead posted lower lows,
indicating a loss of bullish momentum, as noted in this LTC price report.
When a cryptocurrency struggles to surpass crucial resistance
levels, it typically shows waning buyer interest and growing
selling pressure, leading to a downward spiral.
As LTCs price continues to decline, investors are now concerned
about the $87.65 support level. Historically, this level has held
firm during previous price declines as a crucial barrier against
further downside movements.
However, given the recent price behavior and lack of significant
buying support, there are growing concerns that the $87.65 support
may falter.

Andrew Tate, the British-American social media personality and
former kickboxer, known for his promotion of misogyny and his
current legal battle in which he is facing charges of human
trafficking, has ignited online backlash with his recent call for
the Islamization of the United Kingdom. This call followed
London-based billionaire Asif Aziz's announcement of plans to
transform the Trocadero, a key historical landmark, into a mosque.
Tate, a recent convert to Islam from a Christian background, lauded
the news, tweeting, "Allah is the best of planners and I look
forward to seeing The Islamic Republic of Great Britistan in her
final form. Alhamdulillah Britain will be fully Islamic soon."
However, his comment prompted widespread shock and criticism, with
Twitter users challenging his statements about the demise of
British culture and the need for an Islamic Republic. One user
pointed out, "This is a false dichotomy you assert. A secular UK as
it is intended to be. All races and religions and cultures etc
living in harmony. That seems like a better and more long term
plan."

holy books in front of the Israeli Embassy, Alush abruptly
discarded his lighter and declared, Im a Muslim, we dont burn

abrupt change came as a surprise given the original protest was
seemingly retaliatory to an earlier Quran-burning incident.
However, Alush's initial plan was not without severe backlash;

Binance Coin bulls have shown signs of sluggishness, leading to
a concerning dip below the crucial $240 support level. This
downward movement suggests that bearish forces may be gaining
dominance in the near-term market outlook.
Currently, BNB is shaping an intriguing chart pattern known as
the inverted flag. Amidst the recent market turbulence, BNBs price
has experienced a 0.2% dip in the past 24 hours and a seven-day
decline of 2.1%. The coin is currently trading at $237, figures
from crypto market tracker CoinGecko shows.
As the former high of $261.9 seems to be a distant memory,
investors are keenly observing this bearish continuation pattern
and its potential implications.
Understanding BNBs Inverted Flag Pattern
The inverted flag pattern is a technical chart pattern that
signals a potential downtrend continuation. It is formed when a
sharp decline in the price of an asset (the flagpole) is followed
by a brief period of consolidation, represented by a
downward-sloping channel (the flag).
This pattern suggests that the price will likely break the lower
support trendline after a temporary relief rally and continue its
downward trajectory.
With a loss of 2.0% in the last week, the BNB price is
approaching the lower support trendline of the inverted flag
pattern. As BNBs bearish continuation
pattern takes hold, the chances of the price breaking this
dynamic support become more significant. A daily candle closing
below this trendline would signal a strong possibility of the
downward trend resuming.
Binance Coin: Potential Reversal At
Support
However, there is hope for BNB holders as signs of a potential
reversal emerge. If the coin price shows resilience and starts to
rebound at the bottom support trendline, it would indicate that
buyers are actively defending this critical level.
Such a reversal could prolong the ongoing relief rally

At the center of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
is a device quite like the real ancient Greek artifact known as the
Antikythera
mechanism, which has been called
the worlds oldest computer. Every Indiana Jones adventure needs
an exotic MacGuffin,
writes Smithsonian.coms Meilan Solly, and in this latest and
presumably last installment in its series, the hero Antikythera
mechanism that predicts the location of naturally occurring
fissures in time. After undergoing Indiana Jonesification, in other
words, the Antikythera mechanism becomes a time machine, a function
presumably not included in even the least responsible
archaeological speculations about its still-unclear set of
functions.
But according to Jo Marchant, author of Decoding the Heavens: Solving the
Mystery of the Worlds First Computer, the Antikythera
mechanism really is a time machine in a sense. When you turn the
handle on the side, you are moving backward in time, youre

set it to any moment in history that you want.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is once again at the center of excitement in the
crypto space. Over the days, the meme-inspired cryptocurrency
experienced a remarkable surge, gaining 25% in just two weeks. As
traders and investors closely watch DOGEs price movements, a
combination of technical indicators and on-chain data offer
intriguing insights into what may lie ahead for DOGE.
Dogecoin Price Analysis
According to renowned analyst Ali Martinez, DOGEs price action
has established a crucial
support zone between $0.070 and $0.076. Martinez points out that in
this price range, a staggering 452,000 wallets acquired a
significant amount of DOGE, totaling 51.4 billion coins. On the
other hand, the cryptocurrency faces stiff resistance at $0.083 and
$0.088, signaling potential hurdles for further upward
momentum.
On-chain data firm Santiment adds to the optimism surrounding
DOGE, highlighting that the average DOGE trader, active in the past
year, is now in profit for the first time in 12 weeks, showing a
2.4% gain. This development is considered a significant milestone
and could attract more interest from traders.
On the other hand, more traders in profit means that
profit-taking is more likely, thus selling pressure could build up.
Moreover, the DOGE social dominance indicator has not yet reached
the dangerous FOMO zone, indicating the possibility of a further
upward surge.

If you know anything about the ukiyo-e masters of
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan like Kitagawa Utamaro,
Utagawa Hiroshige, and Katsushika Hokusai, you know that they
became renowned through woodblock prints. But in almost all cases,
a woodblock print begins in another medium: the medium of the
drawing, where the artist works out the image before committing (or
having it committed) to a block of wood for printing. This process,
as Tokyo-based Canadian printmaker
David Bull explains in the video above,
entailed the destruction of the original drawing or at least it did
a couple of centuries ago, before the advent of copy machines, let
alone high-resolution digital scanners.
Our time has not only these technologically advanced tools, but
also, as previously featured here on Open Culture,
a wealth of rediscovered drawings by Hokusai himself. The
existence of these exquisite small drawings had been forgotten,
says the site of the British Museum. Last publicly recorded at
a Parisian auction in 1948, they are said to have been in a private
collection in France before resurfacing in 2019.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has recently caught the attention of traders
and investors as it forms an ascending triangle pattern on the
price chart. This technical pattern is characterized by higher
lows, converging with a horizontal resistance level.
The current price of SHIB stands at $0.00000789, experiencing a
meager 1% in increase in the last 24 hours and recording a modest
seven-day gain of 0.6%, data from CoinGecko shows.
However, the real excitement lies in the potential breakout that
could lead to a fresh prolonged recovery for the cryptocurrency
from this ascending triangle pattern.
Shiba Inu Ascending Triangle Pattern
Explained
An ascending triangle pattern is a technical chart formation
characterized by higher lows and a horizontal resistance line.
Traders often interpret this as a potential bullish signal.
As the price approaches the flat resistance line, it indicates
that buyers are becoming more aggressive, creating higher lows.
This pattern suggests that a breakout to the upside is more likely
than a breakdown to the downside.
Currently, Shiba Inus price is hovering near the neckline of the
ascending triangle at $0.00000788. A bullish breakout from this
neckline at $0.00000845 could trigger a significant price surge for SHIB.
This could set the stage for a fresh and prolonged recovery,
potentially enticing more buyers to enter the market.

further fueled by recent

After Ethereum (ETH) once again failed to break the $2,000 level
in the 1-day chart, the price has been on a downward slide in
recent days. However, this could now change, as a historically
accurate trend indicator shows.
Crypto traders and analysts constantly seek reliable indicators
to navigate the turbulent market. One such indicator gaining
attention is the Tom Demark 9 (TD9), which has flashed a buy signal
for Ethereum (ETH) on the daily chart. Renowned analyst Joe McCann
shared his insights via Twitter, revealing an intriguing success
rate of 78% for ETHs historical TD9 buy signals.
Ethereum (ETH) Buy Signal
Joe McCanns tweet brought the spotlight
on ETHUSDs TD9 buy signal, which occurred after the asset dropped
8.7% from its recent high. The TD9 indicator, an indicator that
also measures whether an asset is overbought or oversold, similar
to the RSI, aims to identify potential trend reversals. According
to McCann, historical data showcases the TD9 buy signals remarkable
accuracy for ETH, with a win rate of nearly 78%.
Possible price targets include the July open at $1,933, the
August 2022 bear market rally high at $2,031, and the year-to-date
2021 high at $2,142, according to the analyst.
Digging deeper into the data, McCann highlights the impressive
performance of ETH following TD9 buy signals. The statistics reveal
that, on average, the asset surged by over 2.6% in the seven days
following the signal, with a median return of almost 5%. These
figures alone could pique the interest of traders looking for an
edge in the crypto market.
To provide a more nuanced picture, McCann narrowed the data to
examine the year 2019, a period he deems analogous to the 2023
crypto market cycle. The results are even more captivating, showing
a remarkable win rate of nearly 90% for TD9 buy signals during this
period.

Tron price is consolidating near the $0.080 support against
the US Dollar. TRX could outperform Bitcoin if the bulls stay
active above $0.080.
Tron is holding major support near $0.080 against the US
dollar.
The price is trading above $0.0805 and the 100 simple moving
average (4 hours).
There is a crucial bullish trend line forming with support near
$0.0810 on the 4-hour chart of the TRX/USD pair (data source from
Kraken).
The pair could start a decent increase if there is a move above
the $0.0835 resistance.
Tron Price Holds Key Support
In the past few days, Trons price saw a steady decline from the
$0.094 zone against the US Dollar, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum. TRX traded below the
$0.0850 support to enter a short-term bearish zone.
The price even declined below the $0.0835 support, but the bulls
were active near the $0.080 level. A low is formed near $0.0804 and
the price is now consolidating losses. TRX is now trading above
$0.0805 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).
There is also a crucial bullish trend line forming with support
near $0.0810 on the 4-hour chart of the TRX/USD pair. On the
upside, an initial resistance is near the $0.0835 zone. It is close
to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the
$0.0939 swing high to the $0.0804 low.
A close above the $0.0835 resistance might send TRX further
higher. The next major resistance is near the $0.0872 level or the
50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.0939
swing high to the $0.0804 low, above which the bulls are likely to
aim a larger increase toward the key $0.0900 zone in the coming
days. Any more gains could set the pace for a move toward the
$0.094 level.

On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $1,870 level and
the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is close to the 50% Fib

The main resistance is near the $1,900 zone, above which the

A lot of us have probably had moments in our lives when we were
incredibly frustrated and thought about never talking to our family
members againbut those are just words
But sometimes people actually completely cut off ties with
their family members because they just cant deal with them
anymore.
Check out these stories from AskReddit users who said enough is
enough.
The stepfather.
My new stepfather in a d**nken rage tried to choke me out
because I did not agree with his views.
My mother did nothing to stop it and took his side.
22 years later have not spoken to anyone in my family.
Troubled.
I grew up in a troubled household and when I was finally able to
move out I started slowing distancing myself.
My mom went off the deep end. She started out by accusing me of
sleeping with every single person I know (yes, EVERY person),coming
up with outlandish stories for why I was an awful person,
threatening suicide.
When I cut her off completely she started stalking me. I changed
my number and moved to a new state, I did not give anyone,including
my brother, my new home address, and started receiving cards in the
mail from her last year.
Better off for it.
My sister was cut off about 10 years ago after several incidents
involving her spreading rumors about me at my work for a third
time. She told one of my boss tha...
Bitcoin price is attempting a recovery wave above the
$29,200 level. BTC must clear the $29,600 resistance to start a
decent recovery wave.
Bitcoin is consolidating above the $29,000 support zone.
The price is trading below $29,600 and the 100 hourly Simple
moving average.
There is a short-term rising channel forming with support near
$29,120 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from
Kraken).
The pair could recover but upsides might be limited above the
$29,600 resistance.
Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance
Bitcoin price extended its decline below the
$29,200 support zone. BTC even traded below the $29,000 level. A
low is formed near $28,880 and the price is now attempting a
recovery wave.
There was a minor increase above the $29,000 resistance level.
The price spiked above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the
downward move from the $30,334 swing high to the $28,880 low.
However, the bears are active near the $29,350 level.
Bitcoin is now trading below $29,600 and the 100 hourly Simple moving
average. There is also a short-term rising channel forming with
support near $29,120 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
Immediate resistance is near the $29,350 level. The first major
resistance is near the $29,600 level and the 100 hourly Simple
moving average. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the
downward move from the $30,334 swing high to the $28,880 low.
The next major resistance is near the $29,750 level, above which
the price might rise toward the $30,000 resistance zone. A close
above the $30,000 level might start a fresh increase. In the stated
case, the price could rise toward the $30,400 resistance.
And Im talking about the good, the badand the ugly.
Today were going to hear from AskReddit users about marriages
they knew were doomed when they worked at weddings.
Go ahead and dig in now!
Not a good sign.
The groom would not make any eye contact with the bride.
So many photos where she is gazing lovingly at him, and hes just
like 10 yard stare right over the top of her head.
Oops.
While shooting video, I attached a microphone to the groom for
audio and proceeded to prepare for the ceremony.
Just as I was about to adjust my audio settings, the groom
stepped into another room with a friend.
As I put on my headphones, I overheard the groom confiding in
his friend, describing the wedding as a wedding of convenience and
reassuring them not to be concerned about what would happen in
their relationship.
Not a good start.
I did a wedding for an acquaintance and her husband.
Day goes great, Im really happy with almost everything I took,
everyone was feeling it and having fun. But, (and this is one of
the reasons I quit photography) the bride sees some of the photos I
had sent her, and immediately is calling me. I need you to do the
editing magic and make me look skinny, John was saying I was going

People dont have much shame when it comes to the questions they
ask celebrities, and if you ask Anne Hathaway (and probably others,
too), they would say that applies even
when theyre underage.
She recently
recalled a question a reporter asked her at the ripe old age of
16.
I just remembered one of the very first questions I ever got
asked when I started acting and had to do press was: Are you a good
girl or a bad girl? I was 16. And my 16-year-old self wanted to
respond with this film.
Shes referring to the film she was doing press for
currently, Eileen, which is how a womans friendship
with a new employee takes an unexpected turn at the prison facility
where they work.
Emotional abuse is a form of manipulation that doesnt always
rely on words to cause harm. Non-verbal emotional abuse is just as
damaging and can be harder to detect. Understanding the various
types of non-verbal emotional abuse is crucial for recognizing
unhealthy behavior in relationships. Here are seven types to be
aware of:
Gestures and Facial Expressions: Negative
gestures, such as eye-rolling, smirking, or sighing loudly, can be
subtle yet powerful ways to belittle or demean someone without
saying a word. Constant negative facial expressions can also create
a hostile atmosphere and chip away at the victims self-esteem.
Silent Treatment: The silent treatment
involves ignoring or refusing to communicate with the other person.
By stonewalling and withdrawing affection, the abuser exerts
control and instills fear in their partner. This tactic can lead
the victim to feel unworthy and powerless, desperate to regain the
abusers attention.
Dismissive Body Language: Dismissive body
language, such as turning away, crossing arms, or standing with
closed-off posture, sends a clear message of rejection and
disapproval. It is an indirect way of conveying contempt and can
cause the victim to feel unimportant and invalidated.
Withholding Affection and Intimacy: An abusive
partner may withhold affection, love, or intimacy as a means of
punishment or control. This can leave the victim feeling unloved,
unwanted, and emotionally deprived, damaging their self-esteem and
emotional well-being.
Passive Aggression: Non-verbal
passive-aggressive behavior involves subtle acts of hostility and
sabotage, such as intentionally forgetting commitments, giving
backhanded compliments, or performing tasks with the intent of
causing frustration or disappointment. The victim is left feeling
confused and hurt, often unsure if they are being
oversensitive.
Social Isolation: An abusive partner may use
non-verbal cues to isolate the victim from friends and family. This
can include giving disapproving looks during social gatherings or
refusing to engage with the victims loved ones, making the victim
feel alienated and dependent solely on the abuser for support.
Monitoring and Surveillance: Constantly
checking the victims actions, tracking their whereabouts, or
invading their privacy without consent are forms of non-verbal
emotional abuse. These actions erode trust and autonomy, creating
an atmosphere of fear and control.
Recognizing non-verbal emotional abuse is essential to protect
oneself or others from toxic relationships. If you suspect that you
or someone you know is experiencing any form of emotional abuse,
seek help from a trusted friend, family member, or a professional
counselor. Remember, no one deserves to be subjected to abuse, and
there...
Home price rise since 2012 may be coming to an end:
Shiller. Biggest YoY drops: Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas,
Phoenix, San Diego, Portland, Denver, Dallas.
Probably whats happening with the increase in home prices, its just
seasonal, its the summer, typically it [the Case-Shiller National
Home Price Index] is going up in the summer, Robert Shiller, one of
the guys that developed the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, told
CNBC yesterday. It has been just growing ever since 2012, about 10
years in the US of steady growth in home prices, he said. But it
may be coming to an end with the advent of this interest-rate
rising cycle. It was the second time in the interview that Shiller
used the phrase, may be coming to an end. Moments earlier hed said:
The fear of interest rate increases has influenced peoples thinking
its not just the homeowners, its new buyers who wanted to get in
before the interest rates went up even more. They wanted to lock
in. So thats been a positive influence on the market. But its
coming to an end, he said. Todays S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home
Price Index for May is a three-month moving average of home
prices whose sales were entered into public records in March,
April, and May so thats smack-dab in the spring selling season,
when prices always rise from the prior month, even during Housing
Bust 1. And given the lag in the Case-Shiller Index, the spring
selling season is reported in the summer, and typically it is going
up in the summer, as Shiller said. On a month-to-month basis, the
20-City Case-Shiller Index rose 1.5% in May from April, but it
wasnt enough, and compared to a year ago, it fell by 1.7%, the
third month in a row of year-over-year declines, and the biggest
since 2012:...
By KLAUS MARRE, DONKEYHOTEY, If a picture says more than a thousand
words, then Hunter Bidens paintings tell a troubling tale of greed
and yet another president who is putting family above country. Two
years ago, when details emerged of how presidential son and serial
grifter Hunter Biden tried to turn some of his paintings into
hundreds of thousands of dollars, we warned that this would be an
excellent opportunity for people to ingratiate themselves with his
dad. And guess what; thats exactly what appears to have happened.
New reporting
shows that at least one of the buyers of this artwork was
a major Democratic donor whom President Joe Biden ended
up appointing to a prestigious commission. Ultimately, it
doesnt matter whether that appointment constitutes a material
benefit or whether this is the kind of position that a big donor
would have gotten in any case. What matters is that this creates
the appearance of impropriety. As we pointed out at the time, this
art sale should never have been allowed to proceed because of
precisely this kind of thing. Not just because Joe Biden was
supposed to be a different kind of president after years of Donald
Trumps nepotism, corruption and self-dealing, but also because this
is exactly the kind of arrangement that invites the scrutiny of
Republican lawmakers hellbent on...
And we think youre gonna get a big kick out of this story
that a man posted on Reddit.

Kick my family out, Enjoy the smell
A few years ago, My family, wife and kids went to a new country
for a couple weeks, and had booked a rather nice airbnb. It cost
$4000 for two weeks, so it better be nice.
Anyhow, we were offered the services of the housekeeper at $20 a
day, after three days, I decided to call her, and have her come,
but right away, I got a weird feeling from her, so I told her just
to clean for a couple hours, and I would pay her for the whole day.
I didnt want her in the house when we werent there.
While that ticked her off so she told the owners we had ruined
the place, and caused a bunch of damage. They immediately emailed
me and said we needed to get out, and they were calling the cops on
us, and werent refunding us.
Feeling vulnerable in another country with a family to protect
isnt a fun situation, but luckily we secured a motel nearby (major
downgrade, but had availability).
After arguing back and forth with the owner via email, I told
the host we wouldnt leave, and they would have to get the cops to
come unless someone came and brought me a cash refund.
I was on vacation for the last week-and-a-half but before I
left, I sent a list of things to watch for to my colleagues that in
hindsight, was wholly inadequate. Anyway, here's my effort to catch
up.
Im not gonna lie, folks, this sounds like a pretty complicated
situation.
And the woman who wrote this story on Reddits Am I the A**hole?
page seems legitimately conflicted about what happened.
So, now its up to you to read her story and see if you think she
treated her sister horribly or if she was justified in what she did.
Lets take a look
AITA for leaving my sister in hospital while she had a
stillbirth because I had to do my MCAT?
My sister Mia and I are usually close but this is really causing
some issues. I didnt think I did anything wrong here, but now I
dont even know and Id like some third party insight. This happened
in April.
(Also if anyones curious Im 22 and shes 28.)
Mia had a high risk pregnancy, placenta previa and some other
issues. She eventually had to get a c-section a week earlier than
expected, but the baby was stillborn, which was terrible.
I had my MCAT the day after Mia delivered, and shed told me
before that she wanted me to stay with her, we talked before they
took her in and she was a screaming crying mess. I ended up leaving
since I had my exam early morning, and I came back to the hospital
as soon as I finished. I did hear the awful news that the baby was
stillborn before the exam but I didnt go then.

LOS ANGELES The stretch of Western Avenue between Melrose
Avenue and Beverly Boulevard could be described as many things
eclectic, busy, noisy, gritty, hot but desolate is not one of them.
Located smack in the center of LA, the strip sits at the
intersection of three neighborhoods: East Hollywood, Hollywood, and
Larchmont, representing the third, seventh, and 25th densest
neighborhoods in LA County respectively, according to the Los
Angeles Timess Mapping LA project.
Just to the south is Koreatown, the densest of all 265
neighborhoods. Tens of thousands of cars traverse the intersection
of Melrose and Western daily, as do a constant stream of LA Metro
buses.
Despite this reality, a persistent narrative suggests that the

The Malicious Compliance page on Reddit is always packed with
great stories about people who get incredibly fed up and just dont

So they decide to do things in a way that other folks never see

And it throws them for quite a loop!
Heres a great example of malicious compliance that we think youll love.
Take a look!
Apartment manager doesnt take cash for $0.02 bill. Malicious
compliance ensues.
In 2019 I moved from an apartment complex in Celebration,
Florida, to a condo. As usual, when you move out of an apartment,
you get a final bill, which includes your last months prorated
rent, deductions for damages, security deposit refunds, and the
like. We paid it.
The next month I get a call from my wife who says weve got a
follow-up bill in the mail from the apartment management company,
for $0.02. Were both in the tech field, so we laughed that this
companys IT department didnt catch the edge case of spending $0.50
in postage to collect $0.02 in revenue. But it happens.
My wife prints out a copy of the bill. I grab two cents from the
change jar. The apartment complex is on my daily drive, so I swing
by the office....

Seeing wild animals in the middle of a city is a rare occurrence
in most places, but not in the Japanese
city of Nara. Here, there is an unrestricted
deer population which is considered sacred and given free rein
to roam the streets. As a result, the ancient capital has become a
popular tourist destination for people who want to see animals
occupying a manmade city completely unfettered. In fact, there is
even a train that passes through the city that is inspired by the
deer population.
The Narashika Train, or Nara Deer Train, does not look like any
ordinary train. Each carriage features a green and grass-like
floor, and tan-and-spotted seats modeled after the coat of the
deer. Even the usual handgrips have been exchanged for special,
deer-themed ones. And if that weren't enough, there are also
banners featuring the friendly creatures hanging every few feet,
and illustrations placed on the walls and windows. Altogether,
these creative elements create a bucolic atmosphere reminiscent of
the city of Nara itself.
Though this special train hasn't been in service for longonly
since December 2022it has already amassed an enthusiastic
following. It runs on the Kintetsu Line between Kintetsu Nara and
Kobe Sannomiya stations; however, since the trains run randomly, it
is not always guaranteed you will be able to take a seat on the
fuzzy deer seats. Still, if you're able to visit Nara, it's well
worth a try. You never know. Perhaps, you will be able to take a
ride on the cute, deer train.
If you visit the Japanese city of Nara, be sure to visit the
Narashika Train, or Nara Deer Train.
Two weeks after destroying a historic
building in Lviv, Russian missiles hit the city center of
Odesa, a World Heritage Site, killing one person and injuring 22
others. In a series of rocket attacks on the city, 61 buildings
were damaged, including 28 structures considered highly significant
to Ukrainian architectural heritage.
Starting on July 19, Russia has conducted a series of missile
attacks on Odesa, a port city on the Black Sea, targeting grain and
oil terminals and port equipment. The attacks began after Russia
withdrew from the Black Sea grain initiative on Monday, July
17.
On July 23, missiles hit the city center, damaging the Orthodox
Transfiguration Cathedral (a replica of the original 1794 church
destroyed by the Soviet government in 1936 and rebuilt in 2010) as
well as structures associated with Classicist and modernist
architecture dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. According
to the Odesa city
administration, the heaviest damage hit so-called revenue
houses and residential houses belonged to members of the
aristocracy in the 19th century. Some of the damaged structures
were built as early as the 1830s.
I have just traveled from the peaks of California, wrapped in a
luscious mist atop the jagged cliffs and ocean infinite, to the
creases and folds of the Dom mountain in the Swiss Alps, where
milky fog rests on pine forests sprawled under snowy peaks. You are
everywhere, flowing in those heights, hills, sea breezes, clouds,
moody skies, and birdsongs. I follow you in this incessant exile
toward desire and freedom. I see you, I imagine your gaze settling
into the horizon, longing for our beloved Beirut, where I am headed
next. I am here to study philosophy, as you and my mother did; I am
a professor, as you and my aunt Ketty were. Now our guides are
gone, and we are lost. As you taught me to, I dive into our
ancestral myths and cosmologies looking for the source, from the
Mediterranean to Babylon, seeking truth in the scripts of
Gilgamesh, Zarathustra, Isis, Ishtar, and ghazals. We were
colonized time and time again, and men tried to tame us, but we

Financing higher education is a challenge for most U.S.
students, but it can be particularly difficult for those in foster
care. A new law in California seeks to change the circumstances of
over 60,000 foster youth by covering the entire cost of collegefrom
tuition to housingat any UC, Cal State, or California community
college.
Senate Bill 307 will make it
possible for thousands of teenagers in foster care who want to
continue their education, which is estimated to be 93% according to
a recent survey. However, due to a lack of resources, only 4% of
former foster youth are able to reach a bachelor's degree by the
age of 26 in comparison to 50% of students who were not part of the
foster system.
[This is] a potential game changer for tens of thousands of
California's foster youth with dreams of going to college,
California Senator Angelique Ashby says. This legislation expands
the Middle Class Scholarship (MCS) to have 100% of their unmet need
covered, including for books, food, lodging, after other aid is
applied. All students can participate in the program regardless of
their high school performance.
The state of California has done a good job historically of
paying for tuition for foster youth who find their way to college,
Ashby adds, but it didn't cover everything, including housing,
which for foster youth then you might as well cover nothing if
you're not going to cover the housing.
There will be $25 million allocated to this program annually so
foster youth can go to college debt-free. The next step, according
to former foster youth Shane Harris, is to spread the word and let

August 2023 starts and ends with a Full Moon. On August 1st, we
have the Aquarius Super Full Moon, and on August 30th, we have the
Pisces Super Blue Full Moon.
Having two Full Moons in the same calendar month means August
will be a time for releasing, clearing, and letting go. All that is
no longer resonant with our being will be up for release, and once
we reach the months end, we will likely find ourselves wading
through some empty spaces.
From August 23rd, both Venus and Mercury will be in retrograde.
In fact, we will have a total of six major cosmic players in
retrograde throughout August, with Venus and Mercury being the
strongest.

may be wearing thin, but there will not be a lot we can do to make
things move any faster.
When we have a large amount of retrograde energy coursing
through the cosmic skies, it is almost in our best interest to move
slowly and with deliberate intention.
Dont be in a rush to finalize things this month. Instead, go
with the pace of how the Universe wants you to flow. If you keep
hitting brick walls, you dont have to push through, instead, you
can take a few steps back, admire the view, sit in anything that is
uncomfortable, and then wait for the right next action to find you.
This passive state is not powerless, in fact, it is highly
empowering, and this is even doubly so when retrograde energies are
flowing.
August 2023 also brings some power days where we are likely to
feel energized and uplifted. The Lionsgate 88
Portal on August 8, the Venus Star Point on August 13, plus the
meeting of the
Sun and Regulus on August 21-23, are three power times in the
month where we can harness some high vibrational energy. These are
also days we can connect with some lightness and ease and perhaps
feel some respite from the heaviness of the retrogrades.
Lets take a closer look into some of the main astrological
events of the month and how you can work with the energies-
August 1: Aquarius Super Full
Moon
The month begins with a healing Full Moon. While the energies of
the month hold some intensity, this Full Moon feels to be a gentle,
guiding force, taking our hand and revealing to us all that is just
no longer a fit for our highest well-being. Soak up the healing
energy that is circulating and channel it into your being,
especially if you are feeling dysregulated or are called to let go
of something meaningful. Aquarius is an air sign, which means we
may feel a lot of energy and emotions centered...
The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT)
has just captured an image that will help scientists understand how
giant planets are formed. By focusing on a young star 5,000
light-years away that has seen a marked increase in brightness over
the past nine years, they were able to observe something
extraordinary.
The star V960 Mon, which is located in the Monoceros
constellation, grabbed the attention of astronomers because it
brightened so dramatically over a short time. Shortly after the
change, the VLT's Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet
REsearch (SPHERE)
instrument showed that material orbiting the young star had come
together to form spiral arms that extend farther than the entire
Solar System.
To get a closer look at what was going on, they used the Atacama
Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which can peer into
the dust. It was then that it became clear that the spiral arms
were breaking into fragments and forming large clumps. This
discovery is key because astronomers believe that one of two ways a
giant planet can form is by gravitational instability. This occurs
when large fragments of material around a star contract and
collapse.
No one had ever seen a real observation of gravitational
instability happening at planetary scalesuntil now, said Philipp
Weber, a researcher at the University of Santiago, Chile, who led
the study published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
AITA for going on vacation without my children from a previous
marriage?
My ex-wife Kate and I have two kids (Mike, 16 and Abby, 14). We
had a turbulent marriage and split for many reasons. It wasnt
amicable and I had to fight for custody.
Kate and I both remarried. She didnt have children with her new
husband. I have three (9F, 7F, 5M) kids with my wife and also
gained a stepdaughter (19). My stepdaughters father left after he
found out my wife was pregnant, so she never knew her father.
When I came into their lives I took on the role of a father
figure. As far as blended families go, I am really lucky that we
are all happy. My stepdaughter and I have good relationship and
Mike and Abby love their siblings from my wife.
The only person that is against my family is my Kate. My wife is
black and this has been a point of contention since the beginning.
Especially the fact that my wife is a very dark-skinned black woman
is problematic to her. Kate, her husband and...

A recent Gallup poll reveals 94% of American adults perceive the
situation at the southern border as a crisis or problem. Despite
some efforts to downplay the issue, the public remains acutely
aware of the escalating conditions. Controversially, the Biden
administrations new parole system grants legal entry to potential
illegal migrants, blurring the lines between legal and illegal. The
systems predicted to admit over half a million asylum seekers
annually, raising concerns for national security. Critics argue
this approach masks the issue instead of addressing it, a sentiment
shared by the majority of Americans surveyed. For the prosperity
and security of the nation, many demand more transparency and
rightful actions to tackle the border crisis.

Translation from German: We would call that

Last November, I was riding on a train from Basel,
Switzerland, to Hanover, Germany. As the train left Basel, I
settled into my window seat and enjoyed watching the countryside as
the train rolled along. A couple hours into the trip, a woman
boarded the train and asked me if the seat next to me was free. I
nodded yes and adjusted the bag at my feet to make a little more
room for her. As the train pulled away from the station, we began
chatting in German, asking the typical questions such as where are
you traveling to and where are you from.
I am from the US. I was in Basel and am now heading to Berlin.
Years ago, I lived in Basel for eight months while studying at the
university, I said. As we continued to chat, I told her that I get
a lot of synchronicity and improbable connections that are often a
lot of fun. I then told her how synchronicity is related to Basel.
Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, who coined the term synchronicity,
grew up near Basel. In addition, he studied at the University of
Basel and for a few years, he was a professor there. So even my
relationship to Basel has a much deeper meaning and connection for
me. As we continued chatting, I shared a few of my goofy
synchronicity stories as I call them. She enjoyed them, and we
laughed together.
At some point in the conversation, the woman asked me what I do
for a living. I told her that I have worked as a statistician, a
technical writer, a knowledge engineer, and as a software tester. I
then said that I really want to get into writing and public
speaking to help bring about change to the mental health system. I
told her of the
severe stress breakdown that I endured back in 1998 and how I

The experts are once again blaming climate change for the spread
of a tick-borne illness that causes brain swelling. Doctors
recorded the first confirmed case of tick-borne encephalitis virus
acquired in the United Kingdom in 2022.
So it has to be climate change
right? If not, how else will take away literally everything anyone
has acquired over their lifetimes and enslave them?
According to a report by
Grist, tick-borne encephalitis, or TBE, is a
potentially deadly disease that experts like to say is spreading
into new regions due in large part to global warming. The report
claims that studies have shown that several tick-borne illnesses
are becoming more prevalent because of climate change. Public
health officials are particularly concerned about TBE, which is
deadlier than more well-known tick diseases such as Lyme due to the
way it has quickly jumped from country to country.
Not long ago, the media was warning of Cimean Congo Hemorrhagic
Fever spreading in Europe and that it would likely reach the United
Kingdom. The fear-mongering seems to have abated over CCHF, which
is also a tick-borne illness.
Gbor Fldvri, an expert at the
Center for Ecological Research in Hungary, said the effects of
climate change on TBE are unmistakable. Its a really common problem
that was absent 20 or 30 years ago. He added: The number of
overwintering ticks is increasing, and in spring there is high
activity of ticks, said Gerhard Dobler, a doctor who works at the
German Center for Infection Research. This may increase the contact
between infected ticks and humans and cause more disease.
Ticks cant survive more than a
couple of days in temperatures below zero, but theyre able to
persevere in very warm conditions as long as theres enough humidity
in the environment. As Earth warms on average and winters become
milder, ticks are becoming active earlier in the year. Climate
change affects ticks at every stage
of their life cycle egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph,
and adult by extending the length of time ticks actively feed on
humans and animals. Even a fraction of a degree of global warming
creates more opportunity for ticks to breed and spread disease.

markets.
The fate of the Smithsonians forthcoming National Museum of the
American Latino (NMAL), which had been slated to rise on the
National Mall in Washington, DC, is uncertain following the July 19
passage
Digital Shovel, the
industry leading manufacturer of turnkey, mobile crypto mining
containers, has announced the launch of their latest innovation,
the NanoPOD. Designed specifically for small to medium mining
operations, the NanoPOD stands out as the company's most compact
and efficient offering to date, setting a new standard in size and
convenience.
With a footprint small enough to fit through a 7-foot tall door
and occupying a mere two standard skid spaces in a tractor trailer,
the NanoPOD seeks to optimize miners space and enhance their
capabilities. Similar to its larger counterparts, the m300 and i300
MiniPods, the NanoPOD offers a rugged and easy-to-deploy,
all-in-one solution that can be used both indoors and outdoors.
"We at Digital Shovel are dedicated to assisting businesses in
scaling their crypto mining operations with turn-key mobile units,"
explained CEO Scot Johnson. "The NanoPOD represents a new era of
affordability and enhanced security for small to medium miners, and
we are thrilled to unveil it to the mining community here at Mining
Disrupt in Miami."
Key features of the NanoPOD include flexible power options,
capable of supporting single phase 220-240v and three-phase
415-380v and 220-240v. With a miner capacity of up to 120 kW, the
NanoPOD can house 28 Bitmain S19 Miners or 36 Whatsminers,
providing ample power for optimized mining performance.
The NanoPOD also incorporates Smart PDUs, enabling individual
circuit wattage monitoring, automated switching of each circuit
(both manual and auto modes), an atmospheric monitoring system,
heat vectoring management system, and automated fan control for
effective temperature regulation.
In terms of ventilation and filtration, the NanoPOD utilizes six
awning-based intakes measuring 6-24 x 24 x 4, along with six 2100
CFM blower fans. To emphasize its eco-friendly focus, the NanoPOD
has been engineered with high heat recycling capabilities, allowing
blower fans to be partially ducted towards buildings or greenhouses
in need of heat. A remote thermostat empowers users to monitor the
temperature within the structure and automatically reroute excess
heat once the desired temperature is reached.
The launch of the NanoPOD marks a step forward in the Bitcoin
mining industry, providing smaller miners with a highly accessible
and sophisticated solution for their operations.

Worldcoin co-founder Alex Blanias recent refusal to disclose the
tokens distribution model has raised some eyebrows, including that
of John Deaton, who has expressed his dismay at his action.
Something Fishy With Worldcoin?
A video surfaced on Twitter in which Alex Blania,
during a recent Bankless interview alongside fellow co-founder Sam
Altman, refused to respond to the hosts question on Worldcoins
token distribution, citing the regulatory uncertainty in the US as
why he couldnt answer the question.
The Twitter user (@Pledditor) posted the video with the caption:
When a crypto founder refuses to answer questions about token
distribution
In the video, the host asks Blania to explain the distribution
of the WLD token and Blania is quoted as saying: Look, many of the
details we cant talk about here for the regulatory uncertainty in
the United States.
The video quickly went viral and sparked controversy as to
whether Worldcoin was just another ponzinomics or, indeed, Alex
Blania was honest about why he couldnt answer the
question.
However, renowned crypto lawyer John Deaton, who represents some
XRP holders, quickly reacted to the video in a tweet.
Wtf did this dude just say? Did he literally say that he
cant talk about how WorldCoin is distributed because of the
regulatory uncertainty in the United States?
If there was ever a signal to RUN AWAY as fast as you can from a
project, HERE IT IS. Is he saying he cant tell you how to acquire
it or what youre acquiring because he might get sued?
Now that I think of it, is he being smart and just following
legal advice or is he a moron.

investors to run away from th...
