For a while now we ’ ve been hearing about how water from the Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima may end up being released into the ocean but what that means is very controversial .
Some think because there is so much water in the ocean it won ’ t make any real difference and others are well aware of the damage this radioactively contaminated water could end up doing .
As of late Greenspeace has been speaking out about this once again .
According to CNN , Greenspeace believes that this water could have serious potential damages to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ released into the Pacific Ocean Greenspeace says that it could end up having serious long-term consequences for not only the environment but for us as well .
CNN wrote as follows on this topic : On Friday , the Japanese government postponed a decision on what to do with the water .
In a task force meeting , Industry Minister Hiroshi Kajiyama said : “ In order to avoid the delay in decommission process of Fukushima Daiichi , we need to make a decision how to deal with the processed water that increases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ authorities needed to address “ voices of concern.
” In a report released Friday , Greenpeace said the water , in addition to radioactive isotope tritium , contains radioactive isotope carbon-14 , which is “ major contributor to collective human radiation dose and has the potential to damage human DNA.
” Shaun Burnie , author of the report and senior nuclear specialist with Greenpeace Germany , told CNN there could be as much as 63.6GBq ( gigabecquerels ) of carbon-14 in total in the tanks .
“ These , together with other radionuclides @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thousands of years with the potential to cause genetic damage .
It ’ s one more reason why these plans have to be abandoned , ” Burnie said in a statement .
Ryounosuke Takanori , a spokesperson for TEPCO told CNN in a statement that the concentration of carbon-14 contained in the treated water is about 2 to 220 becquerels per liter , as measured in the water tanks .
Takanori said “ even if the water is continuously drunk by 2 liters every day , the annual exposure is about 0.001 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level that affects health.
” It is considered that the safety of the health , environment and fishery products in the surrounding area will be ensured by taking measures to firmly comply with legal requirements .
While we do not yet know what exactly could come from something like this , but we do know that the potential for something hazardous does seem to be there depending on how things play out .
When it comes to radioactive waste there is always some kind of danger present .
What do you think about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there are other issues with releasing this water or is it something that those concerned are overreacting about ?

As empaths and highly sensitive people we all go through tons of things. We address the things other people are feeling and try to help them all the while being unable to fully deal with our own.
Some empaths and HSP have learned how to face the things they have going on within but not everyone has. Now, for those who do not know empaths are people who absorb the emotions of others and take them on as their own while HSP are a bit different. HSP are those who react to the things around them more deeply than others. They are very sensitive to the energies of well, everything.
Below I am going to go over some of the things that can and will help people who fall into these two categories to really face their negative feelings, especially anger. Rather than brushing their own emotions off or locking them away, dealing with them can help these people grow. The better that these people are able to process things, the further in life they will get.
5 Tips For Handing Anger As An Empath Or Highly Sensitive Person:
1. Be willing to speak your mind.
Sometimes you have to talk about the things you’re feeling and while that might be hard it is important. Speaking your mind is crucial for dealing with anger and things of that sort. If you bottle this kind of thing up and refuse to use your voice, you’ll only end up miserable.
2. Set proper boundaries with others.
Some people just make us angry no matter what they do and while we might not be able to cut ties with them entirely, we can set boundaries with them. These people might have good intentions but the way they go about things is all wrong. At the end of the day by setting boundaries you are protecting yourself.
3. Be well aware of your worth, always.
You are worth so much more than you might be willing to admit. There is nothing wrong with accepting that you are special and that you deserve to be able to move forth properly. Life is short, stop wasting your time.
4. Cut ties when ties need to be cut.
Sometimes cutting ties is crucial for moving forth and well, it’s something you should not hesitate to do. If someone refuses to respect your boundaries and is only making you feel worse and worse, cut them out of your life. You are not a toy and you should not be played with.
5. Meditate over the emotions you’re experiencing.
Meditating over your emotions will help you get through things properly. If you are unsure of how to address the issues at hand, meditate. This will allow you the chance to really figure things out and work through them within.

Fracking for oil has been controversial for a long time now but it seems new information is making that all the more concerning .

As we move forward through the last few months of 2020 , we are getting closer and closer to the date of the great conjunction .
This meaning that Jupiter and Saturn will be conjunct very soon .
This conjunction will occur on the 21st of December and it will mean the two planets or celestial bodies will be only a mere 0.1 degrees apart .
This meaning they will be extremely close together .
This according to Earth Sky will be the first time that Jupiter and Saturn have been facing conjunction since the year 2000 which is quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite visible making the whole ordeal even better as they are even now currently quite visible .
That being said , if you have a telescope , getting it out to see these two worlds close to one another in December might be worth doing .
I for one will be keeping mine out through this month and well into early 2021 .
There are so many amazing things coming up in the celestial world .
Space.com wrote as follows on this amazing event : Whenever Jupiter and Saturn are in conjunction — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same right ascension or celestial longitude — it is referred to as a “ Great Conjunction , ” primarily because unlike conjunctions with the other bright planets , these two don ’ t get together very often .
The average frequency of occurrence is merely the product of their sidereal periods divided by the absolute value of their difference .
A sidereal period is defined as the time required for a celestial body within the solar system to complete one revolution with respect to the fixed stars .
Saturn ’ s period of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ period of 11.86 years amounts to 351.65 .
Dividing this value by the difference in their sidereal periods gives us 19.76 years .
So , about every 20 years , Jupiter and Saturn will have a rendezvous .
The next one is coming very soon ; scheduled for Dec. 21 .
Most of the time , when Jupiter overtakes Saturn , they usually are separated by more than a degree .
But come Dec. 21 , they will be separated by just about one-tenth of a degree or 6.1 arc minutes .
To @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the next clear night , check out Mizar , the middle star in the handle of the Big Dipper .
A fainter star , Alcor , is positioned only 11.8 arc minutes away and the ability to perceive the separation of these two stars , was once considered a test of good vision .
And yet Jupiter and Saturn will approach to within about half that distance !
As noted above this kind of thing with these two specific planets does not happen often .
With it comes very freeing and intense energies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amazing celestial event in itself .
The things happening in space never cease to blow me away and I am sure you too feel the same way about that .
Will you be taking the time in December to view this cosmic ordeal or not ?
Is it something you think is worth watching ?
Personally , I will not be missing it .

NASA has in recent times released a statement that brings a lot of concern to the table .
When it comes to satellites , really big ones might not be a good idea .
While we know there are lots of satellites out there in space , AST & Science wants to launch about 240 large ones that will be working to spread 4G and potentially someday 5G as time passes but that might not be the best idea .
Because these satellites will be so big and there will be so many of them , it could be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
According to NASA who made a statement on this , these satellites could cause thousands of collisions each year .
Not only is it possible for these to collide with other satellites but also the debris they may leave as time passes could also become an issue .
While AST claims they will work with NASA to get through any issues they may be concerned about , right now it seems NASA has a lot to say .
With more and more taking to the sky or to space , the area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become quite crowded .
Space.com wrote as follows on this topic : This constellation , called SpaceMobile , will provide broadband service directly to cell phones , if all goes according to the company ’ s plan .
To pull this off , the SpaceMobile satellites will sport very large antennas — gear that covers an area of about 9,700 square feet ( 900 square meters ) , Berger wrote .
The SpaceMobile satellites will therefore have quite big cross sections , boosting the probability of conjunctions , or close flybys , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orbital woods , states the NASA letter , which you can find here .
And the space agency cares quite a bit about that orbital region , because it houses the “ A-Train , ” a group of 10 Earth-observation missions operated by NASA , the U.S. Geological Survey and several international partners that travel around Earth in the same path .
The A-Train ’ s average altitude is 438 miles ( 705 km ) , but the satellites get as close to Earth as 429 miles ( 690 km ) and as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ km ) .
“ Therefore , the AST constellation would be essentially collocated with the A-Train if the proposed orbit altitude is chosen , ” reads the comment letter , which was signed by Samantha Fonder , NASA representative to the Commercial Space Transportation Interagency Group .
NASA ’ s calculations suggest that gliding safely among the SpaceMobile satellites might require 1,500 “ mitigation actions , ” or spacecraft maneuvers , and 15,000 “ planning activities ” per year for the A-Train ’ s handlers , Fonder wrote .
That equates to about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day .
In addition , “ this is an orbit regime that has a large debris object density ( resulting from the Fengyun 1-C ASAT test and the Iridium 33-COSMOS 2251 collision ) and therefore experiences frequent conjunctions with debris objects , ” the letter adds , referring , respectively , to a 2007 Chinese anti-satellite test and a 2009 smashup between one operational satellite and one dead one .
While it does appear this plan in itself will be going ahead in the future and remain on course , some changes may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these enormous satellites reach their new homes in space .
What do you think about all of this ?

NASA has in recent times released a statement that brings a lot of concern to the table. When it comes to satellites, really big ones might not be a good idea.
While we know there are lots of satellites out there in space, AST & Science wants to launch about 240 large ones that will be working to spread 4G and potentially someday 5G as time passes but that might not be the best idea. Because these satellites will be so big and there will be so many of them, it could be a serious hazard to NASA as a whole. According to NASA who made a statement on this, these satellites could cause thousands of collisions each year.
Not only is it possible for these to collide with other satellites but also the debris they may leave as time passes could also become an issue. While AST claims they will work with NASA to get through any issues they may be concerned about, right now it seems NASA has a lot to say. With more and more taking to the sky or to space, the area outside of our planet in time will become quite crowded.
Space.com wrote as follows on this topic:
This constellation, called SpaceMobile, will provide broadband service directly to cell phones, if all goes according to the company’s plan. To pull this off, the SpaceMobile satellites will sport very large antennas — gear that covers an area of about 9,700 square feet (900 square meters), Berger wrote.
The SpaceMobile satellites will therefore have quite big cross sections, boosting the probability of conjunctions, or close flybys, with other spacecraft in their neck of the orbital woods, states the NASA letter, which you can find here.
And the space agency cares quite a bit about that orbital region, because it houses the “A-Train,” a group of 10 Earth-observation missions operated by NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey and several international partners that travel around Earth in the same path. The A-Train’s average altitude is 438 miles (705 km), but the satellites get as close to Earth as 429 miles (690 km) and as far away as 460 miles (740 km).
“Therefore, the AST constellation would be essentially collocated with the A-Train if the proposed orbit altitude is chosen,” reads the comment letter, which was signed by Samantha Fonder, NASA representative to the Commercial Space Transportation Interagency Group.
NASA’s calculations suggest that gliding safely among the SpaceMobile satellites might require 1,500 “mitigation actions,” or spacecraft maneuvers, and 15,000 “planning activities” per year for the A-Train’s handlers, Fonder wrote. That equates to about four maneuvers and 40 planning activities every day.
In addition, “this is an orbit regime that has a large debris object density (resulting from the Fengyun 1-C ASAT test and the Iridium 33-COSMOS 2251 collision) and therefore experiences frequent conjunctions with debris objects,” the letter adds, referring, respectively, to a 2007 Chinese anti-satellite test and a 2009 smashup between one operational satellite and one dead one.
While it does appear this plan in itself will be going ahead in the future and remain on course, some changes may end up needing to be made before these enormous satellites reach their new homes in space. What do you think about all of this?

We ’ ve been hearing for a long time now that psychedelics overall seem to help those with depression and other mental health issues but as of late , more and more research has been coming forth on the topic .
Actually , a study published not too long ago has been making headlines as it is quite mind-blowing .
This study was published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry and basically went over how psychedelic mushrooms could benefit those with depression for a very specific reason .
This trial was a clinical one carried out by those at the Johns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and is one that really got me thinking big time .
While it was a smaller study it was quite a promising one .
Basically , participants were adults suffering from major depression , and they were given doses of psilocybin to see what would come of it .
Psilocybin for those who do not know is something found in magic or psychedelic mushrooms and it is what causes or brings about the visual and auditory hallucinations that those who do them face .
Their recent findings suggest that psilocybin might be effective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than previously thought and that it worked quite well on those with major depression .
This could in time really change a lot of things , while some look at this kind of thing as a ‘ dangerous drug ’ it holds a lot of benefits that most tend to overlook because they do not know enough about it .
As follows was written on these findings in a release by Hopkins Medicine on their website : “ The magnitude of the effect we saw was about four times larger than what clinical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the market , ” says Alan Davis , Ph.D. , adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine .
“ Because most other depression treatments take weeks or months to work and may have undesirable effects , this could be a game-changer if these findings hold up in future ‘ gold-standard ’ placebo-controlled clinical trials.
” The published findings cover only a four-week follow-up in 24 participants , all of whom underwent two five-hour psilocybin sessions under the direction of the researchers .
“ Because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disorders that may result in variation in how people respond to treatment , I was surprised that most of our study participants found the psilocybin treatment to be effective , ” says Roland Griffiths , Ph.D. , the Oliver Lee McCabe III Professor in the Neuropsychopharmacology of Consciousness at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research .
He says the major depression treated in the new study may have been different than the “ reactive ” form of depression in patients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Griffiths says his team was encouraged by public health officials to explore psilocybin ’ s effects in the broader population of those with major depressive disorder because of the much larger potential public health impact .
For the new study , the researchers recruited 24 people with a long-term documented history of depression , most of whom experienced persisting symptoms for approximately two years before enrolling in the study .
The average age of participants was 39 ; 16 were women ; and 22 identified themselves as white , one person identified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ African American .
Participants had to taper off any antidepressants prior to the study with the help of their personal physician to ensure safe exposure to this experimental treatment .
Thirteen participants received the psilocybin treatment immediately after recruitment and after preparation sessions , and 11 participants received the same preparation and treatment after an eight-week delay .
Treatment consisted of two psilocybin doses given by two clinical monitors who provided guidance and reassurance .
The doses were given two weeks apart between August 2017 and April 2019 at the Johns Hopkins Bayview @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Each treatment session lasted approximately five hours , with the participant lying on a couch wearing eyeshades and headphones that played music , in the presence of the monitors .
While things are not necessarily over , a year from now we will know more as these participants will be followed up with around then .
At the moment we do not know how long the effects that they gained will end up lasting or if their depression will get worse as time continues to pass .
That being said , these findings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this study goes as follows : Results Of the randomized participants , 24 of 27 ( 89 % ) completed the intervention and the week 1 and week 4 postsession assessments .
This population had a mean ( SD ) age of 39.8 ( 12.2 ) years , was composed of 16 women ( 67 % ) , and had a mean ( SD ) baseline GRID-HAMD score of 22.8 ( 3.9 ) .
The mean ( SD ) GRID-HAMD scores at weeks 1 and 4 ( 8.0 [ 7.1 ] and 8.5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment group were statistically significantly lower than the scores at the comparable time points of weeks 5 and 8 ( 23.8 [ 5.4 ] and 23.5 [ 6.0 ] ) in the delayed treatment group .
The effect sizes were large at week 5 ( Cohen d = 2.2 ; 95 % CI , 1.4-3.0 ; P < .001 ) and week 8 ( Cohen d = 2.6 ; 95 % CI , 1.7-3.6 ; P < .001 ) .
The QIDS-SR documented a rapid decrease in mean ( SD ) depression score @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1 ( 16.7 [ 3.5 ] vs 6.3 [ 4.4 ] ; Cohen d = 3.0 ; 95 % CI , 1.9-4.0 ; P < .001 ) , which remained statistically significantly reduced through the week 4 follow-up ( 6.0 [ 5.7 ] ; Cohen d = 3.1 ; 95 % CI , 1.9-4.2 ; P < .001 ) .
In the overall sample , 16 participants ( 67 % ) at week 1 and 17 ( 71 % ) at week 4 had a clinically significant response to the intervention ( ≥50 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 14 participants ( 58 % ) at week 1 and 13 participants ( 54 % ) at week 4 were in remission ( ≤7 GRID-HAMD score ) .

There are tons of things in this world that we even now do not fully understand the benefits of and psilocybin could very well be one of them .

The abstract results of this study goes as follows:
Results Of the randomized participants, 24 of 27 (89%) completed the intervention and the week 1 and week 4 postsession assessments. This population had a mean (SD) age of 39.8 (12.2) years, was composed of 16 women (67%), and had a mean (SD) baseline GRID-HAMD score of 22.8 (3.9).

The effect sizes were large at week 5 (Cohen d = 2.2; 95% CI, 1.4-3.0; P < .001) and week 8 (Cohen d = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.7-3.6; P < .001). The QIDS-SR documented a rapid decrease in mean (SD) depression score from baseline to day 1 after session 1 (16.7 [3.5] vs 6.3 [4.4]; Cohen d = 3.0; 95% CI, 1.9-4.0; P < .001), which remained statistically significantly reduced through the week 4 follow-up (6.0 [5.7]; Cohen d = 3.1; 95% CI, 1.9-4.2; P < .001). In the overall sample, 16 participants (67%) at week 1 and 17 (71%) at week 4 had a clinically significant response to the intervention (≥50% reduction in GRID-HAMD score), and 14 participants (58%) at week 1 and 13 participants (54%) at week 4 were in remission (≤7 GRID-HAMD score).

Negative thoughts are something we all face be it sometimes or all the time and while they can be hard to overcome, there are things that can help. While these kinds of thoughts can drag us down, learning how to deal with them can in a lot of ways be very freeing.
If you’re experiencing negative thoughts as time passes it can take a serious toll on you, that much you should be aware of. However, the tips below should help with them a lot. While they might not get rid of them entirely they will help put you on the path to figuring out what works for you.
9 Tips For Dealing With Negative Thoughts:
1. Be aware of the negative thoughts before you.
Not everyone realizes they are experiencing negative thoughts in the moment. Be more aware of the thoughts before you. The more you know what you’re dealing with the easier it will be to work through it.
2. Counter negative thoughts with something positive.
For every negative thought you have counter it with a positive one. This won’t be easy at first but in time it will come naturally. I do this quite often and it makes a big difference in how I feel overall.
3. Break those negative thoughts down and question them.
The more you break down the things you’re thinking the easier it will be to identify where they are coming from. Is what you’re worried about really that big of a deal? Are you putting too much of yourself into this? Questions are important at moments like these.
4. Stop obsessing over the things others will think or say.
The things other people say and do are not something you should let define you or how you live your life. If you’re worried about other people more than yourself, you’re messing up. Don’t hold back just because you’re stressed over what the rest of the world will think.
5. Try to stop making big deals out of small issues.
Sometimes we tend to obsess over the wrong things and make the smallest issues into huge problems. Once you break things down, ask yourself if what you’re worried about is something you should really be worrying about. Most of the time you’ll find that it isn’t.
6. Be more present in each moment before you.
While being present in the moment won’t be easy right off the bat, as time continues to pass you will get better at it. Stop worrying so much about tomorrow and focus on today. Take things one step at a time. This is more freeing than you might expect it to be.
7. Open up to someone you can trust.
Find someone you can trust and talk to them about the things you’re feeling. Talking about your feelings will help you work through them. Don’t be afraid to open up, we’re supposed to support one another.
8. Do something that takes your mind off of these negative thoughts.
When you notice your mind becoming clouded by negativity, do something you like to do. Go for a walk, workout, or make some art. Find something you love and dive into it.
9. Count the things you’re grateful for.
While there will be ups and downs in life, remember all the things you’re grateful for. Life isn’t always daisies and roses but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Do your best to talk positively to yourself.

It tends to stem from divorce and is something we need to be aware of as adults .

Heart’s Desire Message – 1
If you were drawn to this message your heart longs to feel at home. You’ve been feeling out of place for so long you don’t remember what it’s like to belong.

China Just Turned On Its Artificial Sun

For those who do not know China has been working on a nuclear-powered artificial sun for quite some time now and as of late they have finally powered it up .
It seems so far things are quite successful and well , this in itself is monumental .
This artificial sun is known as HL-2M EAST tokamak and really bring China into a new light as they are making so much progress .
This shows that a lot of work is finally paying off and that China is well on its way to ‘ true fusion ignition ’ according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might not sound like much but it is quite interesting to learn about .
Phys.org wrote as follows on this topic : The HL-2M Tokamak reactor is China ’ s largest and most advanced nuclear fusion experimental research device , and scientists hope that the device can potentially unlock a powerful clean energy source .
It uses a powerful magnetic field to fuse hot plasma and can reach temperatures of over 150 million degrees Celsius , according to the People ’ s Daily—approximately ten times hotter than the core of the sun .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ late last year , the reactor is often called an “ artificial sun ” on account of the enormous heat and power it produces .
“ The development of nuclear fusion energy is not only a way to solve China ’ s strategic energy needs , but also has great significance for the future sustainable development of China ’ s energy and national economy , ” said the People ’ s Daily .
Chinese scientists have been working on developing smaller versions of the nuclear fusion reactor since 2006 .
Basically , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used with those working on the ITER .
This all in all really shows that technology all across the world is changing and growing rapidly , in my opinion .
This project in itself according to SCMP is going to be an important pillar to ITER and who knows where things will go from here .
What do you think about all of this ?
Could this be the beginning of something huge or will things fizzle out as time passes ?
I guess we only have to wait and see at this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and things like it could end up really changing things in big ways .
While some might be afraid of this concept , others are welcoming it and quite excited .
