My apologies for posting an article containing a misprint, the article in question was lifted from a web scraping news aggregator site.
Unfortunately the actual source paper is paywalled.
But then again, would anybody believe that a sheet of micro dots could absorb between 100 and 200 millilitres of the drug?
The only reason the article was posted is due to the fact that one of the seriously ill guys in our group participated in such a trial and found another psychedelic substance to be beneficial.
Once again my, apologies for such a trivial misdemeanor.
I honestly hope that none of you healthy web police require a dosage of between one and two hundred milligrams of LSD at some future date.
I have already agreed to be thrown into hyperspace, what is your plan?

Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution (1969; ISBN 1-57586-162-3) is a book by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay. Berlin and Kay's work proposed that the basic color terms in a culture, such as black, brown, or red, are predictable by the number of color terms the culture has.
Berlin and Kay posit seven levels in which cultures fall, with Stage I languages having only the colors black (dark–cool) and white (light–warm). Languages in Stage VII have eight or more basic color terms. This includes English, which has eleven basic color terms. The authors theorize that as languages evolve, they acquire new basic color terms in a strict chronological sequence; if a basic color term is found in a language, then the colors of all earlier stages should also be present. The sequence is as follows:
Stage I: Dark-cool and light-warm (this covers a larger set of colors than just English "black" and "white".)
Stage II: Red
Stage III: Either green or yellow
Stage IV: Both green and yellow
Stage V: Blue
Stage VI: Brown
Stage VII: Purple, pink, orange, or gray
Those orbs were once clearly visible to the naked eye here on earth on a near daily basis, usually around the Star and Sun, but are they anomalous or a natural phenomenon?
Do you really think so ? 🤔😄😁
Read the original paper then, it's paywalled! 😳

Autoimmunity and Cancer—Two Sides of the Same Coin
With the current paper, we also aim to convince the readers that the pathways involved in cancer and autoimmune disease development consist of similar molecular players working in opposite directions. Therefore, a deep understanding of the two sides of immune tolerance is crucial for the proper designing of novel and selective immunotherapies.
Is that not what it says ? 🤔😄
Happy 😁
According to the article,the other little piggies were in bits!
Ihavenoideawhathappendtoanywordslongerthanthatone!
I can not remember very many words containing a Z in their spelling...But seemingly those words spelled with an S are now the alternative!
eg: cognisant ...Alternative spelling of cognizant.
I suppose it is down to the manufacturers of this educative literature to provide the meaning, whether these educators be artificial, extraterrestrial , subterranean, intelligent or otherwise....Just ask Google 👽
I hope you have a most excellent day... This is if 24 hours is still called a day? 😁😁
solar system
noun. Any collection of heavenly bodies including a star or binary star, and any lighter stars, brown dwarfs, planets, and other objects in orbit.
The most logical way to remain unidentified I would say.
A goodly percentage of my fellow earthlings carry no ID either, only computer literate juveniles have appropriate identification in this part of the cosmos, and only when they are in search of an alcoholic beverage. The thing is, their identification is guaranteed to be bogus, your average Mr Adam Adamant over here could well be from Jupiter!
It is best to remain unidentifiable here on planet earth, as I suppose is the case in many parts of the universe..
You have a most excellent day now, on whatever planet you inhabit 😄😁
OK..What does unidentified mean on your planet? 🤔😄
Exactly, but this is what gets classed as 'actual factual news' these days.
The very same story from another source:
Lead researcher and UTS Ph.D. candidate Michaela B. Smith investigated the impact of the most accurate, new-generation lunar dust simulants on human lung cells in the lab. She compared the effects to those of airborne particulate matter collected from a busy street in Sydney.
The study found that while the sharp, abrasive lunar dust can act as a physical irritant, it did not cause the severe cellular damage or inflammation seen from the urban Earth dust.
The cosmic vibrations oozing from the world wide web of ectoplasm are hinting that perhaps you may just not be overly enthused by the calibre of mystical and mysterious articles of unknown origin being posted to this community ..mmmm?
OK..What about a crop circle then?.. Crop circles are relatively harmless, unless you are a stalk of grain that is, would a report on one of these brighten your day?
If so..How's about two crop circles?
Yip, there have been two new crop circles reported in Wiltshire recently... Are crop circles any better?
If not, there are rumours that an Abominable Big Foot thingy has been sighted around the Midlands, and don't forget we always have Nessie, come on who doesn't like to hear a ripping good yarn about The Beastie? 🙄😁
What about werewolves then?
The Daily Star is carrying an article claiming that there is an eight foot tall werewolf lurking in some bushes near Bridlington!
Quote:
The eerie image shows what appears to be an 8ft-tall shadowy figure emerging from a ridge with a strange glow around its head.
It looks like any other common or garden everyday average Joe strolling past a gap in the bushes to me, but hey, who am I to decide what makes a fantastical tale newsworthy?
Anyway, what more could you possibly ask for in a news headline?.. Expert opinion, ominous warnings, werewolves and bushes.. Boo! 😄😁

It is merely a theory, the only known definite fact is the fact that nobody knows!
Is yer man there not a fifth dan blackbelt in freemasonry?
Are you in your cool season down there just now?
Stay safe young man.
Is it not a WTB (Wind Turbine Base)?
I seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye
But I be done seen about everything
When I see a turbine base fly
But who knows, I suppose this all depends on the size of the turbine that gets bolted on to it, stranger things have happened at sea!
50 years ago, NASA sent 2 spacecraft to search for life on Mars – the Viking missions’ findings are still discussed today (theconversation.com)
Finding life beyond the Earth would be a major scientific discovery with significant implications for all areas of science and human thought. Yet, only one direct search for extraterrestrial life has ever been conducted.
The Secret History of Holywell Street: Home to Victorian London’s Dirty Book Trade (publicdomainreview.org)
At the eastern end of the Strand, opposite the Royal Courts of Justice, William Gladstone stands atop a plinth. Four times Queen Victoria’s Prime Minister, this eminent, emblematic Victorian is flanked by four female effigies testifying to the virtues of education, inspiration, courage, and brotherhood. Gladstone himself looks stately and solemn, as is fitting, but also mildly outraged, all clenched fists and frowns.

New (P_c) Decays Reveal Spin Secrets (scienmag.com)
These aren’t your everyday protons and neutrons; they are composite particles that hint at a richer, more intricate spectrum of matter dictated by the fundamental forces that govern reality. The journey into this exotic realm, led by a dedicated team of physicists, promises to revolutionize our perception of how quarks can combine, potentially rewriting chapters in the physics textbooks we’ve relied on for decades.
New Clinical Study Advances Understanding of Mesothelioma and Unveils (scienmag.com)
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of various solid tumors by harnessing the body’s immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. However, its role in mesothelioma remains understudied and controversial. Prior large-scale trials incorporating surgery with systemic therapies failed to demonstrate consistent survival benefits, casting doubt on the utility of surgical resection. This study challenges that paradigm by incorporating immune checkpoint blockade in a strategic perioperative timeline, attempting to augment antitumor immunity when tumor burden is minimized.
Design of Two Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trials of Deucravacitinib, an Oral, Selective, Allosteric TYK2 Inhibitor, in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (link.springer.com)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (shortened to SLE) is a long-term autoimmune condition that affects many parts of the body, including the skin, joints, and internal organs. People living with SLE may experience different symptoms that can negatively affect quality of life. Only a few medicines that help control SLE symptoms are available, but they can result in unwanted side effects and may not improve all symptoms.
Lewy body dementia promotion by air pollutants (science.org)
Air pollution was recently found to be associated with increased risk of developing dementia. Zhang et al. investigated the relationship between PM2.5, an index of particle pollution, and the development of Lewy body dementia (LBD), the second most common form of dementia. Epidemiological data showed that PM2.5 exposure was associated with an increased risk of developing LBD. In mice, nasal administration of PM2.5 led to brain atrophy due to the accumulation of pathological α-synuclein, loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, and impaired cognition and motor function. The results identify a potential mechanistic link between air pollution and the development of dementia.

Vientovirus Protein Mimics Autoantigens, Fuels Sjögren’s Disease (scienmag.com)
Recent research has shed light on the enigmatic relationship between viral infections and autoimmune disorders, with a groundbreaking study exploring this connection in the context of Sjögren’s disease (SjD). Sjögren’s disease is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized primarily by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, leading to dry mouth and dry eyes, but its precise etiological drivers remain elusive. The study, conducted by Zhang et al., elucidates a novel virome signature in the saliva of patients with SjD and uncovers a compelling mechanistic link implicating a viral agent in triggering pathogenic autoimmunity.

Did the Tower of Babel Actually Exist?: A Look at the Archaeological Evidence (openculture.com)
It could be a legendary version of Etemenanki, a Mesopotamian ziggurat built to honor the god Marduk at such a scale that it inspired tall tales, as it were, spread far and wide in the ancient world, such as the rumor that its construction required mobilizing the manpower of all humanity. But it really did exist, as evidenced by its ruins discovered at the site of the ancient city of Babylon — which, in Hebrew, was called Babel.
