Romanian Revolution was televised

Studio 4 went on air at 12:51 pm. Actor Ion Caramitru and poet Mircea Dinescu were the first to speak. "Brothers, by the grace of God (making the sign of the cross), we are now in the television studios", Ion Caramitru said first.

He thanked the army, the students, the people around him and the other "thousands and thousands of Romanians and other nationalities who have led us".

"We must have patience. We have waited for 25 years, we can wait a few more minutes. The People have won!" (Mircea Dinescu)

Fairy Soap racist ads

 

Fairy Soap

N.K. Fairbank Co. was founded in 1875 and produced Fairy Soap. The ad that presumably ran in the 1940s shows a little white girl asking a Black child why her mother won’t wash her with Fairy Soap, insinuating she is Black from dirt.*

*Fairy Soap was originally created by N.K. Fairbank, before Procter & Gamble buys it.

"Where Misinformation Comes From" by Doctor David Healy - Fluvoxamine for Covid?

Excerpts

"Drug regulators and food regulators are not part of the public health apparatus as such. Their job is to regulate the wording of adverts, nothing else, nothing more." (emphasys mine)

"A lot of good doctors report problems on the vaccine, death of the vaccine or the drugs to the regulator and encourage their colleagues to do so but it is like pouring water into sand because what the regulator does, the very first thing they do is to remove the names of any doctors or patients transforming the report into hearsay and transforming it into misinformation." (emphasys mine)

"The regulator is a bureaucrat. Their job is not to work out has a drug caused a problem or not."

"We now have a pandemic of over treatment."

A man burned himself during a clinical trial but he died five days after. It was not counted as a suicide. He officially died because of "burns".

I did a post "Antidepressant SSRI Luvox - Columbine drug - is being prescribed as a Covid prophylactic drug?" on October, 19 because it was alarming to me that Fluvoxamine, Luvox was being considered to be used as a Covid-19 drug.

I confess I didn't read any article for it is so absurd to me that I didn't find the strength to research.

It is simply unexplanaible to me why an antidepressant is about to be added to the Covid cocktail.

Anything related to psychiatric drugs, their use off label, clinical trials triggers a lot of anger and sadness in me.*

Today I came across with this great explanation, another among a life dedication to protect patients, Dr David Healy published on his Youtube channel.

I forgot that usually Professor Healy publishes these explanations on his site.

You can research on his site not only this but a vast amount of good information about a drug you must be taking or considering taking.

Inform yourself for it is your health that is at stake and only you will suffer the consequences on you body, mind and soul.

Take care of yourself.

Virtual tour of 10 Downing Street in Google Street View - Google Street View

 

The tour was made available in 2016 when Theresa May was the PM.

Nothing special and watching pictures of the building has the same result.

"The property was part of a building project by diplomat George Downing who built it on the site of Hampden House, which was destroyed in the late 18th century.  The site was also once host to the Axe brewery.  In 1682, Downing employed Sir Christopher Wren to design houses, but as they were built on marshland and cheaply made, they have been in an almost constant state of repair since their construction."

Signifier and Signified explained

 

 

Two sources explaining "signifier and signified" among many on the WWW.

Semiotics for Beginners

Daniel Chandler

Excerpts

"Nowadays, whilst the basic 'Saussurean' model is commonly adopted, it tends to be a more materialistic model than that of Saussure himself. The signifier is now commonly interpreted as the material (or physical) form of the sign - it is something which can be seen, heard, touched, smelt or tasted. For Saussure, both the signifier and the signified were purely 'psychological' (Saussure 1983, 12, 14-15, 66; Saussure 1974, 12, 15, 65-66). Both were form rather than substance:

A linguistic sign is not a link between a thing and a name, but between a concept and a sound pattern. The sound pattern is not actually a sound; for a sound is something physical. A sound pattern is the hearer's psychological impression of a sound, as given to him by the evidence of his senses. This sound pattern may be called a 'material' element only in that it is the representation of our sensory impressions. The sound pattern may thus be distinguished from the other element associated with it in a linguistic sign. This other element is generally of a more abstract kind: the concept. (Saussure 1983, 66; Saussure 1974, 66)

Saussure was focusing on the linguistic sign (such as a word) and he 'phonocentrically' privileged the spoken word, referring specifically to the image acoustique ('sound-image' or 'sound pattern'), seeing writing as a separate, secondary, dependent but comparable sign system (Saussure 1983, 15, 24-25, 117; Saussure 1974, 15, 16, 23-24, 119). Within the ('separate') system of written signs, a signifier such as the written letter 't' signified a sound in the primary sign system of language (and thus a written word would also signify a sound rather than a concept). Thus for Saussure, writing relates to speech as signifier to signified. Most subsequent theorists who have adopted Saussure's model are content to refer to the form of linguistic signs as either spoken or written. We will return later to the issue of the post-Saussurean 'rematerialization' of the sign.

As for the signified, most commentators who adopt Saussure's model still treat this as a mental construct, although they often note that it may nevertheless refer indirectly to things in the world. Saussure's original model of the sign 'brackets the referent': excluding reference to objects existing in the world. His signified is not to be identified directly with a referent but is a concept in the mind - not a thing but the notion of a thing. Some people may wonder why Saussure's model of the sign refers only to a concept and not to a thing. An observation from the philosopher Susanne Langer (who was not referring to Saussure's theories) may be useful here. Note that like most contemporary commentators, Langer uses the term 'symbol' to refer to the linguistic sign (a term which Saussure himself avoided): 'Symbols are not proxy for their objects but are vehicles for the conception of objects... In talking about things we have conceptions of them, not the things themselves; and it is the conceptions, not the things, that symbols directly mean. Behaviour towards conceptions is what words normally evoke; this is the typical process of thinking'. She adds that 'If I say "Napoleon", you do not bow to the conqueror of Europe as though I had introduced him, but merely think of him' (Langer 1951, 61)."

It's Xmas again: Suicide during the season and MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

It's that time of the year where family relationships are at the center of our emotional response to the festivities who are more about Noel than Christ's birth.

I was once told by a psychiatrist that this is the season when the rate of people seeking for help increases. 

Our Suicide Helpline in Brazil claims that it is true that they receive more calls during Christmas. Not necessarily on December, 25 or 24 but during the season or January. 

Preparations for Christmas has started to be done earlier and earlier and the phenomenon "Christmas Creep"* is an evidence of this fact.

Strangely enough in English there are numerous articles claiming that it is not true. Christmas death rate increase is nothing but a myth.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and also some compassion to those who don't have a supportive family.

Take care. Make cookies for Santa. You'll be the one who will eat them anyway,

*Christmas creep is a merchandising phenomenon in which merchants and retailers introduce Christmas-themed merchandise or decorations before the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, which in the United States is on the day after Thanksgiving.[1] The term was first used in the mid-1980s.

Petra the unbelievable carved buildings

 

 Inhabited since prehistoric times, this Nabataean caravan-city, situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, was an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. Petra is half-built, half-carved into the rock, and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. It is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Hellenistic architecture.

Outstanding Universal Value

Brief synthesis

Situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea and inhabited since prehistoric times, the rock-cut capital city of the Nabateans, became during Hellenistic and Roman times a major caravan centre for the incense of Arabia, the silks of China and the spices of India, a crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. Petra is half-built, half-carved into the rock, and is surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges. An ingenious water management system allowed extensive settlement of an essentially arid area during the Nabataean, Roman and Byzantine periods. It is one of the world's richest and largest archaeological sites set in a dominating red sandstone landscape. 

The Outstanding Universal Value of Petra resides in the vast extent of elaborate tomb and temple architecture; religious high places; the remnant channels, tunnels and diversion dams that combined with a vast network of cisterns and reservoirs which controlled and conserved seasonal rains, and the extensive archaeological remains including of copper mining, temples, churches and other public buildings. The fusion of Hellenistic architectural facades with traditional Nabataean rock-cut temple/tombs including the Khasneh, the Urn Tomb, the Palace Tomb, the Corinthian Tomb and the Deir ("monastery") represents a unique artistic achievement and an outstanding architectural ensemble of the first centuries BC to AD. The varied archaeological remains and architectural monuments from prehistoric times to the medieval periods bear exceptional testimony to the now lost civilisations which succeeded each other at the site.Outstanding Universal Value

‘Marighella’ movie's Review

 

Marighella was a Brazilian politician, a poet and a guerrilla.

Great human being remembered by his resistance as a guerrilla.

 New York Times' review:

In 2018, the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro declared that he wanted “a Brazil similar to the one we had 40, 50 years ago”— referring to the era of the country’s military dictatorship, which saw violent censorship and the torture of dissidents.

This contemporary context underlines the barreling urgency of “Marighella.” Directed by Wagner Moura (the star of Netflix’s “Narcos”), the film chronicles the final years of Carlos Marighella, a Marxist revolutionary who led an armed struggle against the dictatorship in the 1960s. With a rousing, kinetic style reminiscent of “The Battle of Algiers,” and confrontational close-ups of fiery eyes and faces, the film is not merely a historical biopic — it’s a provocation.

And a riveting one, too. Seu Jorge plays the charismatic Marighella, whom we meet as he leads a group of younger radicals in robbing a train carrying weapons. In flashback, we learn that Marighella was expelled from the Communist Party for his uncompromising commitment to guerrilla warfare. “An eye for an eye” is his cell’s motto, invoked throughout the film.

The group struggles to balance itself on the razor’s edge of that phrase. “Marighella” plows stylishly through heists, showdowns and increasingly bloody shootouts, with the sadistic cop Lúcio (Bruno Gagliasso) on the militants’ tail. Yet the script makes room for wit as well as meaty ideological debate, delivered in crisp bullets of dialogue by a uniformly solid cast.

“I’m your comrade,” Marighella’s wife, Clara (Adriana Esteves), says to him. “But don’t make me your accomplice. Don’t ask me for permission to leave here and die.” As the tragedies mount, Moura’s film becomes an elegy — not so much to Marighella as to an idealism consumed by the pyrrhic games of dirty regimes.

Lenin's Body Improves with Age

 Lenin's Body Improves with Age

Russian scientists have developed experimental embalming methods to maintain the look, feel and flexibility of the Soviet Union's founder’s body, which is 145 years old today 

  From an article published on Scientific American under the tag "Health"    By Jeremy Hsu on April 22, 2015

Excerpt

"To maintain the precise condition of Lenin's body, the staff must perform regular maintenance on the corpse and sometimes even replace parts with an excruciating attention to detail. Artificial eyelashes have taken the place of Lenin's original eyelashes, which were damaged during the initial embalming procedures. The lab had to deal with mold and wrinkles on certain parts of Lenin's body, especially in the early years. Researchers developed artificial skin patches when a piece of skin on Lenin's foot went missing in 1945. They resculpted Lenin's nose, face and other parts of the body to restore them to their original feel and appearance. A moldable material made of paraffin, glycerin and carotene has replaced much of the skin fat to maintain the original "landscape" of the skin.

At the height of activity from the 1950s to the 1980s, the lab employed up to 200 people who did research on subjects ranging from the aging of skin cells to skin transplantation methods, Yurchak says. The institute temporarily lost government funding in the 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union, but survived on private contributions until government money returned at more modest levels."

Charles Girard's White Mountain Puzzles

 "Charlie Girard was born and bred in Rhode Island, where he still lives. Married with children, he plays guitar, collects stamp and baseball cards, and loves the ocean. In real life his job is in finance but his passion for puzzles, inherited from his mother, led him to us. He built so many puzzles that the ones he found on the market all seemed a little boring, with no one making the kind of puzzles he wanted to do - like collages! He created some images and emailed them to "pretty much" every puzzle company in the U.S. but didn't hear from anyone for six months, until White Mountain Puzzles made the brilliant decision to add his collage of beer labels which became our Cheers! At that time he also sent us Candy Wrappers, and the rest is history. Charlie has become one of our most popular puzzle designers ever with his seemingly endless supply of ideas and creativity."

I just found Charles Girard from the puzzles' collection. We have a little of each collage of the American city he created.  

Trying to cancel Amazon Music is a hard task: Buy traps on Amazon

 I'm still on the trial period but I didn't like Amazon Music. So I went to the page to cancel to find out that there is no such an option.

I decided to check if I was the clumsy one in it all but came across with this article:

Amazon’s tactics make it too hard to cancel Prime, consumer advocates charge

Patricia Sabatini

A coalition of consumer groups led by Public Citizen has come out swinging against Amazon — contending that the e-commerce behemoth manipulates consumers to keep them subscribed to its Amazon Prime loyalty program, calling the process an “unlawful ordeal.”

The group sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission late last week asking the agency to investigate Amazon’s practices and to determine if they violate consumer protection laws.

“Amazon Prime’s subscription model is a ‘roach motel,’ where getting in is almost effortless, but escape is an ordeal,” the letter reads.

“To end an Amazon Prime membership, consumers must click through several pages, where almost every page has multiple links that create confusion about cancellation and every click nudges consumers back into the subscription through blurring and omitting cancellation information,” the coalition said in a news release.

The company disputes that assessment.

Amazon makes it “clear and easy” for Prime members to cancel at any time, “whether through a few clicks online, with a quick phone call or by turning off auto renew in their membership options,” a spokeswoman for the Seattle company said in an email. 

“Customer trust is at the heart of all of our products and services and we strongly disagree with any claim that our cancellation process creates uncertainty.”

Amazon Prime, which costs $119 per year, provides fast shipping, video streaming and other perks from the online shopping site.

A spokesman for the FTC acknowledged receipt of the coalition’s letter Tuesday but declined further comment.

The consumer coalition’s letter referenced a report by a government consumer protection agency in Norway that concluded Amazon’s practices were designed to “unfairly and deceptively undermine the will of the consumer.”

“With more than 120 million Prime members in the U.S. alone, Amazon doesn’t need to subvert, confuse and misdirect consumers who want to cancel” their membership, the coalition said in its news release. (Keep reading on the site)

Madhuri Guin's enchanted dolls

 I just came across with Madhuri Guin's site and found the most amazing handmade dolls.

About Madhuri Guin:

"Madhuri was born in Hooghly, near Kolkata, India and completed her education from Jamshedpur (then in Bihar, now in Jharkhand, India) and Rourkela, in Odisha, India. Interested in fine art, right from childhood, she took up doll making at the age of 21 in 1973, when she felt inspired by the Shankar's International Doll's Museum in New Delhi, India.

Without any formal training in doll making or any other form of fine art, she began making simple cloth dolls with porcelain heads. Far from being perfect, they were the medium through which Madhuri taught herself and refined her doll making skills, to finally evolve a form unique to her.

Unlike most other cloth dolls made elsewhere in India, Madhuri's dolls were made to be more realistic. This was brought out by her unique doll making style. She made the face for the doll out of cloth, and used precise cloth patterns for limbs, fingers and the torso of the doll. These cloth patterns were sewed, stuffed with cotton and were provided with an iron wire frame. The fingers were sewed to the limbs, which then were sewed to the torso. The body was then provided accurate shapes, based on the kind of doll being made. The accuracy in gestures of the hand and body was provided because of the accurate cloth patterns used for the doll body parts and the special way the wire frame was assembled. However, the most striking feature of the doll remains the face of the doll." (keep reading at Madhuri's site and watch the dolls.)

 

CDC: Myocarditis and Pericarditis After mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination

Alert: This is on the page of CDC - Center for Disease Control and Prevention - 

Myocarditis and Pericarditis After mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination

CDC and its partners are actively monitoring reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination. Active monitoring includes reviewing data and medical records and evaluating the relationship to COVID-19 vaccination.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis is inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. In both cases, the body’s immune system causes inflammation in response to an infection or some other trigger. Learn more about myocarditis and pericarditis.external icon Seek medical care if you or your child have symptoms of these conditions within a week after COVID-19 vaccination.

What You Need to Know

Cases of myocarditis reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)external icon have occurred:

After mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), especially in male adolescents and young adults,

More often after the second dose

Usually within several days after vaccination

Most patients with myocarditis or pericarditis who received care responded well to medicine and rest and felt better quickly.

Patients can usually return to their normal daily activities after their symptoms improve. Those who have been diagnosed with myocarditis should consult with their cardiologist (heart doctor) about return to exercise or sports. More information will be shared as it becomes available.

Both myocarditis and pericarditis have the following symptoms:

Chest pain

Shortness of breath

Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart

Seek medical care if you or your child have any of these symptoms, especially if it’s within a week after COVID-19 vaccination.

If you have any health problems after vaccination, report them to VAERSexternal icon.

Healthcare Providers: For additional recommendations and clinical guidance, visit Clinical Considerations: Myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC.

Please, refer to the page to read more details and remember to question what is between the lines. Isn't it good they are paying attention on some problems the vaccines are causing? If they continue like this in 10 years it will be possible to know some long term effects of these vaccines. (Funny, same for clinical trials.)

2020/2021 Epic Fail

 

Manu Dibango

 SONG FACTS: A native of Cameroon, Manu Dibango has enjoyed a long career as a musician and songwriter, developing a fusion of Jazz and African musical styles. This song which was released in 1972, came early in Dibango's career, and was introduced to American listeners by the legendary New York City radio DJ Frankie Crocker on FM's WBLS radio station.

This song made the US Top 40 only briefly, but later became notable for 3 reasons. The first is its refrain, "Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-kossa," which Michael Jackson borrowed for his 1983 hit "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," but without Dibango's permission. Dibango eventually reached an out-of-court settlement with Jackson over the lyrics. Dibango also had filed a lawsuit against Rihanna.  When Rihanna came calling in 2007, asking to sample Jackson on her song "Don't Stop the Music," Jackson agreed – allegedly without contacting DiBango.  https://www.theguardian.com/music/200.... The third reason is the genré, and the pop culture phenomenon, that the song set in motion.

 "Soul Makossa" was so popular as a dance song that its style began to be emulated and further developed by American dance musicians - and eventually took on a life of its own. As a result, this is now widely regarded as the first Disco record.  Whenever it was dropped on Dance floors in New York it lead to "dance battles." Blacks, Italians, Latino's and Whites couldn't get enough of this groove and strutted their stuff when this monster tune came on.

Breakdancing, also called breaking or b-boying/b-girling

 

For more animated gif of break dancing this is the site and learn a little about it's history:

"Breakdancing, also called breaking or b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic style of street dance from the United States. While diverse in the amount of variations available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, bottom Rockers thus, floor Rock power moves and freezes. Breakdancing is typically set to songs containing an old tribal drum breaks, as we know in social science. Which had evolved into a new genre called hip-hop, by 1982, with funk and soul music influence from the 1960's and the breakbeat part of the records. Such as James Brown Sex Machine (album) and Michael Viner project done in the 1972 Incredible Bongo Band. Displays this type of drum percussion break beat music, although modern trends. Allow for much wider varieties of music with the introduction to rappers and EMCEE's along certain ranges of tempo and drum beat patterns. Although the term "breakdance" is frequently used to refer to the dance in popular culture and in the mainstream entertainment industry, "b-boying" and "breaking" were the original terms and are preferred by the majority of the pioneers and most notable practitioners."

Didn't See This Coming: EU Parliament Reject Orwellian "Vaccine" Mandates In Favor Of Human Rights

Rumble — European Union Members of Parliament are coming out strongly against the Human Rights abuses that have come about as a result of the NWO's "Green-Pass" vaccine mandates. They are saying that governments across Europe (and the world) are violating the fundamental freedoms of its citizens, which are enshrined in law.

The MPs are making it clear that the "Covid-Agenda" has nothing to do with science, nor public health, but rather is intended to bring about a Totalitarian system that eliminates even the most basic of human rights in order to enslave the population. (Emphasis mine)

Julian Assange: Sign to STOP the USA Extradition

 Phillip Adams started this petition to Marise Payne (Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Women) and three others.

This is a global petition to Free Julian Assange and to stop the legal precedent being established of a USA Extradition for a non USA journalist that exposed USA war crimes.

This petition is the largest petition in history to have been presented to the International Criminal Court (The Hague). This is also the largest petition in history to have been successfully Tabled (accepted into Parliament) in both houses of the Australian Parliament.

On January 4, 2021 this petitioned campaign helped secure a "Stop to the USA Extradition". Together with many individuals and teams around the world we are now on a pathway to Free Julian Assange.

Unfortunately however, as of January 11, 2021 the entities that perpetrated the war crimes that Julian Assange's publications revealed have indicated they will appeal the decision to STOP the USA Extradition of Julian Assange from the U.K. to the USA to be tortured for a further 175 years.

This petition invites everybody from every nation to sign and join this critically important campaign to Free Julian Assange.  We helped Stop the USA Extradition now we focus to Free Julian Assange and return him to the love of his family.

Further, this petition will drive to prosecute the alleged complicit "public officers" of the UK, Sweden, Ecuador and Australia that allegedly together manifested a situation that deliberately and by design subjected Julian Assange to psychological torture. The process of delivery of psychological torture to Julian Assange continued even though public statements by the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture determined that Julian Assange was being subjected to cruel and degrading treatment that resulted in case of verified psychological torture as determined by implementation of the Internationally recognized Istanbul Protocol by a team of medical experts.

Read the petition and SIGN)

NIH Admits Funding Risky Virus Research in Wuhan - Fauci under fire

Bipartisan legislators demand answers from Fauci on alleged puppy experiments

By Jackie Salo October 24, 2021

Excerpt:

"Dr. Anthony Fauci is being slammed by lawmakers for allegedly providing a grant to a lab in Tunisia to torture and kill dozens of beagle puppies for twisted scientific experiments.

AP Photo/Susan Walsh, Pool

The bipartisan group also raised concerns about allegations that scientists slit dogs’ vocal cords so that they wouldn’t bark during the experiments.

“This cruel procedure — which is opposed with rare exceptions by the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, and others- – seems to have been performed so that experimenters would not have to listen to the pained cries of the beagle puppies. This is a reprehensible misuse of taxpayer funds,” the letter said."

In Major Shift, NIH Admits Funding Risky Virus Research in Wuhan

 

Mysterious rise of heart attacks in UK this year

 "Health experts have been left baffled by a big rise in a common and potentially fatal type of heart attack in the west of Scotland.

During the summer there was a 25 per cent rise in the number of people rushed to the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank with partially blocked arteries cutting blood supply to the heart.

Typically the centre, which is the largest of its kind in the UK and treats people from five health board areas, receives 240 patients a month suffering with this form of heart attack, but this rose to more than 300 over May, June and July of this year. Doctors have searched for a pattern among patients to determine if less access to health checks in the (keep reading if you're signed.)

My Comment on Youtube was deleted - it is about Psychiatry malpractice

"Thank you Dr. Healy.

You always give the broad picture of everything. Never heard of a physician that put the political, economical and cultural aspect of what they are explaining.

"So tiny and..."  my conclusion is always the opposite: "So tiny and causing so many illness."

I beg your pardon? 20:37 "... market Zoloft neither the names in the authorship line nor the people who run the trial, nor the ghostwriters, nor the FDA or the MHRA will have seen the data from these trials."

"So I´ve written to NICE, and, MHRA, and EMA, and FDA, all the major journals, all the politicians, the minister of health in all the departments of health in the western European archipelago, - that's England and Ireland for those who weren't sure what it is,  - and they all agree that the literature was ghost written and there's no access to the clinical trial data. Their response is to take the escape route that I offered them which is that it's not our job to police the medical literature raising the question of whose job is this."

Stop the world, the planet... the universe.

I'm glad I still have some innocence left and indignation.

Funny that UK Parliament talk about ghost writers in their 2005 review "The Influence of Pharmaceutical Industry".

Suicide ideation not related to the depression but as a side effect is also there."

I saved these comment because I wanted to remember some topics for I thought about posting it here.

Professor David Healy is a great source of knowledge for those who want to understand what is really happening to them and the pills they take.

Research. 

I'll create a tag with his name for there are other posts I quote him.

Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergere

 A Bar at the Folies-Bergere is one among the most known of Manet's paintings and a lot have been written to explain numerous of it's aspects especially the reflection on the mirror that doesn't follow optical rules.

Speculations about the girl's gaze - it seems to me she is completely absented minded - is another topic. Is she staring at us? 

The bottles, the crowd...

Lately I just feel like watching at the paintings I like without analyzing

I wish I could be in front of the painting. I don't know why but I can't stop watching it.

Human genome editing: why are we silent?

 

This is the link for WHO's page: human editing.

Here some concerns: The CRISPR-baby scandal: what’s next for human gene-editing

As concerns surge after a bombshell revelation, here are four questions about this fast-moving field.

David Cyranoski  26 February, 2019

"In the three months since He Jiankui announced the birth of twin girls with edited genomes, the questions facing the scientific community have grown knottier.

By engineering mutations into human embryos, which were then used to produce babies, He leapt capriciously into an era in which science could rewrite the gene pool of future generations by altering the human germ line. He also flouted established norms for safety and human protections along the way.

There is still no definitive evidence that the biophysicist actually succeeded in modifying the girls’ genes — or those of a third child expected to be born later this year. But the experiments have attracted so much attention that the incident could alter research for years to come.

Chinese authorities are still investigating He, and US universities are asking questions of some of the scientists he consulted. Meanwhile, calls for an international moratorium on related experiments, which could affect basic research, have motivated some scientists to bolster arguments in favour of genome editing.

Some are concerned about how the public scrutiny will affect the future of the field, whether or not researchers aim to alter the germ line. “The negative focus is, of course, not good,” says Fredrik Lanner, a stem-cell scientist at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, who has been editing genes in human embryos to study how cells regulate themselves.

But others predict that the He affair might propel human gene editing forwards. Jonathan Kimmelman, a bioethicist specializing in human trials of gene therapies at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, argues that definitive action in the wake of the scandal could expedite global cooperation on the science and its oversight. “That would stimulate, not hinder, meaningful advance in this area,” he says.

Here, Nature explores four questions still lingering around the births.

What will happen to He — and the children?

He has been criticized, but not just because he pursued germline editing. He also neglected to do adequate safety testing and failed to follow standard procedures in procuring participants. He was subsequently censured by the health ministry in Guangdong, where he worked, and fired from his university. He did not respond to Nature’s multiple attempts to contact him.

At this point, further penalties seem to be in the hands of the police. There are a range of criminal charges that He could face. While recruiting participants, He and his team agreed to cover the costs of fertility treatment and related expenses, up to 280,000 yuan (US$42,000). He also stipulated that participants would have to repay costs if they dropped out. Liu Ye, a lawyer at the Shanghai Haishang Law Firm, says that if such payments are found to count as coercive measures, they could constitute a crime. Guangdong province also found that He used forged ethics-review documents during recruitment of participants and swapped blood samples to skirt laws against allowing people with HIV to use assisted reproductive technologies.
