The heart is called Yi [unified power] becuz when intent moves, spirit is agitated; qi is dispersed. Qi is the Mother of spirit; Spirit is the child of qi. The Mother as qi is the horse that guides/conducts the river chariot (yin spirit) in the water (yin jing). Once your mind is away from the lower Elixir Field, your Qi will be led away from it and be consumed. By gathering the Shen into the lower tan tien then the Qi follows it there. Light of eyes descend as Yang fire inner yin qi line

sodium [standards] is geared toward the most sensitive 20% of the population...
austism traits are cultural...all Finnish people are austistic based on culture...[meaning they don't make eye contact...Finnish culture shares significant similarities with Swedish culture, largely due to their shared history and geographical proximity]
Saami people came from Siberian originally and took over the original hunter gathers of Europe - still left in Finland (after the farmers and steepe people took them over in the rest of Europe). The Finnish language is closely related to Saami language.
Haplogroups are "diagnostic variable markers" in ancestry dna tests.
Jewish men would be killed if they had sex with Christian women...by 1200 AD they were endogamic... meaning endogamy was self-marrying until the Jewish Enlightenment of 1800 AD....
Endogamy "out marriage" in India out of caste was 1 out of 500 only - meaning one village with two castes would have the castes be more genetically different than the other sides of Europe.
Race is real for disease stuff....Basque are 50% rH negative....they used to say Basques were cursed by the Devil because of their high miscarriage rate....
African-Americans are 20% "white" on average.
Ashkenazi Jews - there is Subsaharan ancestry from Roman (Italian) times (from Arabs)...Sicilians are by definition part-Jewishness...because there was so much inter-marriage.
there's 5.5 million variants - unique variations compared to the 3.2 billion genetic positions in your genome (the reference genome of what an average human is).
30% to 40% of Pakistanis marry their cousins...second-cousins....
Genes don't "blend" - they are digital so intuitively we perceive an average but....meaning a black Nigerian man and white women can have a fully white child.

Modern humans interbred with one neanderthal population. Denisovans split apart from 400,000 years ago... Denisovans are very diverse and different Denisovans were absorbed into modern humans. Papua New Guineas have 4 different Denisovan lineages in them....
90% of ancient paleolithic hunter-gatherers of Europe had blue eyes and dark skin.
As Early Neolithic groups expanded across Europe from Anatolia in the period from 10,000 to 5,000 years ago,1,2,3,5,6,7,8 they admixed with local Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, and by 6,000 years ago derived 20%–30% of their ancestry from these local groups.1,4,5,9 The admixed Neolithic ancestry thus found itself in a new cultural and geographical landscape, with a hypothesized increase in infectious disease load due to population density and proximity to domestic animals
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982223001896
The greatest excess of Neolithic ancestry centered on SLC24A5 (Figures 2D and S3C), with a peak of +17.82% (|Z| = 3.46). The derived SLC24A5 allele, which is carried on the Neolithic ancestry background, is one of the two alleles which contributes most to light skin pigmentation in present-day West Eurasian-ancestry populations.47 It has previously been shown to have been at relatively high frequency in the Neolithic population and absent in the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers,5 and our results show that the selection removed hunter-gatherer ancestry at this locus in later admixed Neolithic groups.
It's not crazy that Denisovans came to the New World - 5 to 10% chance....
Why Koch's 1896 Postulate for disease causation is Outdated: DDT did not cause polio
Organisms such as Plasmo-
dium falciparum and herpes simplex virus or other viruses
cannot be grown alone, i.e., in cell-free culture, and hence
cannot fulfill Koch’s postulates, yet they are unequivocally
pathogenic. Similarly, certain microbes such as human immu-
nodeficiency virus (HIV) exhibit a host range that is restricted
to humans; they cannot produce typical disease in other hosts,
thereby making impossible or unethical the final fulfillment of
the third postulate. Furthermore, how does one meet criteria
for causation when a pathogenic microbe is also capable of a
carrier state (e.g., Neisseria meningitidis), causing disease in
one individual and not in another? In contrast to the beliefs of
Koch and those of his era, we are well aware today that mi-
crobial pathogens often cause subclinical infection. For exam-
ple, the vast majority of patients exposed to M. tuberculosis will
simply develop a silent infection accompanied by microscopic
forms of pathology, marked by the presence of a positive tu-
berculin skin test, and will not go on to develop active disease.
The presence of tubercle bacilli in healthy subjects or subjects
with an unrelated disease would seem to violate Koch’s second
postulate. What of the microbe that produces distant injury by
release of a toxin or injury that occurs via immune mechanisms
well after disappearance of the causative agent? What of the
microbe that can switch on or off disease-producing genes?
What of the bacteria that require coinfection with a bacterio-
phage or acquisition of extrachromosomal DNA to be able to
cause disease (e.g., Corynebacterium diphtheriae and entero-
toxigenic Escherichia coli) or the virus (hepatitis D virus) that
relies on a second virus (hepatitis B virus) to provide the
necessary structural components for reproduction in human
tissue (i.e., polymicrobial causation)? How does one incorpo-
rate host factors into the equation of causation, such as immu-
nological status, physiology, and genetic variability (42)? How
does one incorporate environmental factors (e.g., the roles of
vectors and reservoirs in virulence) into the equation of cau-
sation? These features of microbial pathogenesis and of mi-
crobial pathogens do not integrate well with the paradigm
provided by Koch’s postulates.

The U.S. Army's Typhoid Board, headed by Maj. Walter Reed, established that the house fly was a mechanical vector for the typhoid bacillus, Salmonella typhi ( Cirillo 2006 ). The board's evidence was so impressive that Leland O. Howard, chief of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology, proposed renaming the house fly the “typhoid fly” to focus attention on its importance as a public health menace ( Howard 1911 )
https://academic.oup.com/ae/article-abstract/62/2/83/1751692
Another study reported in the same article, conducted in Rockford, Illinois, was
also inconclusive, because DDT spraying
did not commence until after the outbreak
had passed its peak (Melnick et al. 1947).
Thus, the riddle of the house fly’s role in
the spread of polio remained unanswered.

The polio epidemic that struck New Jersey,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and New York
State from May to October 1916 claimed
27,000 lives. New York City alone reported
8,900 cases and 2,400 deaths, 80 percent
of whom were children under five years
of age (Oshinsky 2005).
The etiologic agent of polio, poliovi-
rus (enterovirus C: Picornaviridae), was
discovered in 1908 by Viennese immu-
nologist—and future Nobel laureate—
Karl Landsteiner (1868-1943). At the
time, smallpox and rabies were the only
human diseases known to be caused by
viruses (Paul 1971). The implications of
this discovery cannot be overestimated,
for it meant that polio was an infectious, contagious disease with epidemic possi-
bilities. On the other hand, it also held
out hope that polio could be prevented
in the same fashion that typhoid fever
epidemics had recently been controlled
by a killed-bacteria vaccine (Wright 1900).
Revisiting Koch’s postulates: A tailored approach for clinical parasitology
In due course, the development of DNA technologies led to the discovery of virulence genes, which resulted in Molecular Koch’s postulates. Genetics and cloning technologies equipped scientists to isolate a putative virulence gene and evaluate its pathogenicity to fulfill Molecular Koch’s postulates. Pathogen and host continuously switch their genes on and off to achieve desirable phenotypes. Redundancy and robustness of effector and plant immunity genes explain that pathogen–host interaction results in various cross talks and counterattacks.
About a month later, Bill Gates suggested in his “Innovating to Zero” TED
talk in Long Beach, California on February 20, 2010 that reducing world popula-
tion growth could be done in part with “new vaccines” [71]. At 4 minutes and 29
seconds into the talk he says:The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about 9 billion
[here he is almost quoting Bryant
et al.]. Now, if we do a really great job on
new vaccines [our italics], health care, reproductive health services, we
could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent∙∙∙ [71]

Deniz Dalkara on Blind People regaining Sight: Promising results by injecting Algae-derived genes into eyes to act as photoreceptors!
When I eat algae - as I eat spirulina every day - my eyes get dark green! This doc explains why - it works as photoreceptors in the eyes for real!!
https://www.innovatorsunder35.com/the-list/deniz-dalkara/
This form of gene therapy uses microbial opsins (Light Sensitive Proteins from algae) delivered by viral vectors, into photoreceptors from human induced pluripotent stem cells that render cells sensitive to light. After transplantation into blind mice, we observed light-driven responses at the retinal and behavioural levels originating from graft. Light responses we recorded were characteristic of the inserted microbial opsins’ properties. These results demonstrate that structural and functional photoreceptor repair is possible by combining both stem cell therapy and optogenetics.
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-57226572
The vision of a completely blind man has been partially restored using light-sensing proteins first found in algae. The man was treated with a type of therapy called optogenetics, which uses the proteins to control cells at the back of his eye.
the man has had no vision for the past two decades.
He was treated with optogenetics - a field new to medicine, but one that has long been a staple of fundamental neuroscience.
It uses light to control precisely the activity of brain cells and was used by the scientists to restore the ability of one of his eyes to detect light.
The technique is based on proteins, produced in algae, called channelrhodopsins, which change their behaviour in response to light. The microbes use them to move towards the light.
The first step in the treatment was gene therapy. The genetic instructions for making the rhodopsins were taken from algae and given to cells in the deep surviving layers of the retina at the back of his eye.
Now when they were hit with light they would send an electrical signal to the brain.
However, they would respond only to amber light, so the patient wore a pair of goggles with a video camera on the front and a projector on the back, to capture what was happening in the real world and project a version in the right wavelength onto the back of the eye.
It took months for high enough levels of the rhodopsins to build up in the eye and for the brain essentially to learn a new language to be able to see again.
The man does not have perfect sight, but the difference between no vision and even limited vision can be life-changing.
Prof Botond Roska, from the University of Basel, said: "The findings provide proof-of-concept that using optogenetic therapy to partially restore vision is possible."
IKEA "Better Shelter" transitional housing project as the Esperanza Community in Texas
https://bettershelter.org/our-history/
pretty awesome!! It's protected against rot - and light weight so you can move it easily. Otherwise not much better than a tent. Best of all it is delivered in a flat pack box - IKEA style!
https://bettershelter.org/resources/
How to guides and insulation coverage - but no place to order or purchase it? Strange.
So they work with nonprofit foundations only I guess. Partner: Glimmer of Hope is the only U.S. location I can find - the rest are "third world" locations.
In the aim to improve the living conditions of the encampment by upgrading from the currently used tents, Glimmer | Austin partnered with The Other Ones Foundation and the residents of Esperanza Community to build Better Shelter Relief Housing Units (RHUs) as a source of shelter.
The long term vision is to replace all tents on-site with 200 mini homes and temporary shelters. https://toofound.org/
https://toofound.org/esperanza-community/
So looks like IKEA is just using Coroplast® and Cor-X as wall panels.
A 4 x 8 sheet is $35! Not cheap.
If you buy a ten pack they're still $30 each.
Wow a Porta-Potty is legally a structure and not a shelter!!
PORTABLE TOILET: A freestanding, movable toilet structure equipped with a watertight impervious container which receives waste dischargedOK they are polyurethane wall panels - NOT polypropylene!
Better Shelters delivered to Austin Texas
Fiberglass panels 2 feet x 8 feet are $25
That's a much better price.
4' x 8' for $25 - even better!
PLAS-TEX® Polywall™ 4' x 8' Matte White Plastic Interior Wall Panel
