Viruses, Memory, and Miracles

Human memory came from an ancient virus We can glean amazing insights from viewing the way memories and viruses work–and the extraordinary relationship between viruses , memory , and miracles–at this time when neurologists say that our memories come from an ancient virus .

Human memory came from an ancient virus
We can glean amazing insights from viewing the way memories and viruses work–and the extraordinary relationship between viruses, memory, and miracles–at this time when neurologists say that our memories come from an ancient virus.
An international collaboration of researchers from the University of Utah, the University of Copenhagen, and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the UK discovered something surprising about a protein called Arc, which is essential to long-term memory formation. It seems that some 350-400 million years ago, an ancestor to the retrovirus, the retrotransposon, injected its genetic material into a land-based, four-limbed creature, leading to the development of the Arc protein. Scientists have been amazed to discover that it has very similar properties to how a virus infects its host stating in their article in Cell,
“The neuronal gene Arc is essential for long-lasting information storage in the mammalian brain, mediates various forms of synaptic plasticity, and has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders,” and, “little is known about Arc’s molecular function and evolutionary origins.” [Pastuzyn 2018]
Using electro-microscopy, scientists realized that the way Arc assembles itself appears very similar to the way the HIV retrovirus operates.
The Arc protein behaves like a virus and serves as the platform allowing neurons to communicate with one another. Scientists found that mice lacking the Arc protein had difficulty remembering things they had learned within one day's time, and their brains lacked plasticity–where the brain can easily absorb new knowledge and skills. Arc behaves like a viral capsid–like a hard, outer shell which is hollow inside and carries a virus’s genetic information from one cell to another. Arc mimics viral capsids by encapsulating its RNA in order to transfer it from one neuron to another.
Evolving with viruses
Virologists are noticing how the original novel coronavirus, covid-19, almost immediately mutated into three different strains, and within a few weeks was observed by scientists in Iceland to have over 400 mutated versions, eight strains of which have been found to be infecting humans globally at this time.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like the SARS and MERS coronavirus, with a structure that is recognized by cell biologists as being 80% similar. While coronaviruses had once been considered to only affect birds and mammals, the SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 epidemics have demonstrated that this virus family can jump species barriers, and spread to humans.
Author William S. Burroughs theorized that words and language represent a type of virus that transformed the throats of humans who spoke those words. Author Philip K. Dick commented in “The Selected Letters of PKD, 1980-1982” on William S. Burroughs consideration of the existence of some kind of information virus:
“I cannot accept Burroughs' view that we have been invaded by an alien virus, an information virus, yet on the other hand I cannot readily dismiss this bizarre theory as mere paranoia on his part. I think he is onto something real and important, and that his statements do more good–far more good–than harm (that is, he states the problem correctly, although perhaps his analysis of the cause is faulty; still, merely to be aware of the problem is to achieve a great deal). Now, I have been able to find accounts in ancient times of what seems to be a thinking or perceptual dysfunction or perhaps the thinking or perceptual dysfunction.
…Burroughs may have indeed detected an “information virus” or something like an information virus, but my supposition is that, if you grant its existence, it is of long-standing. World mythology supports this. Not just Christian.
Where Burroughs and I sharply disagree is that my supposition is that if–if–and information life form exists (and this is indeed a bizarre and wild supposition), it is benign; it does not occlude us; on the contrary: it informs us (or perhaps it has no interest in doing either, but simply rides our own information traffic, using our media as a carrier; that is entirely possible. That I myself saw this living information in the spring of 1974 is not something I wish to claim; on the other hand, I will not deny it. The issue is important, vital, and also elusive. If you grant an occluding information virus, are you not then yourself occluded in your very analysis of it, as well as your perception of its existence? There is a paradox involved. I'm sure you can see that.”
Mandela Effect-affected memories
Much of who we see ourselves to be comes from our memories of who we think we are, and the stories we believe we are living in. Without long-term memories, we'd eternally be in the moment, free from expectations of ourselves or others, and likely devoid of much in the way of long-term plans.
How fascinating, now, to realize that our very sense of self, and ability to have long-term memories comes thanks to an ancient virus. Scientists note that:
“Eukaryotic genomes are littered with DNA of viral or transposon origin, which compose about half of most mammalian genomes.” [Smit, 1999]
When it comes to the Mandela Effect, many of us recall different historical events as well as differences in just about everything in existence including: human physiology, plants, animals, books, foods, movies, music, names, places, buildings, aircraft, cars, and more. Clearly we are still finding fundamental processes by which information storage in the brain operates, and we have yet to discover biological mechanisms supporting our ability to witness reality shifts, Mandela Effects, quantum jumps, and miraculous changes. When we look at Nature through a quantum lens, we can see evidence that natural systems are capable of such seemingly impossible achievements such as: organism mutations within a single generation of bacteria; astonishingly high efficiencies of operation seen in photosynthesis; amazingly accurate navigation of robins; and perfect synchronization of starlings in flight. We can gain from such observation insights into the rich mystery of mind-matter interaction, guiding further investigations with my favorite question: “How good can it get?”

This could be a very long article. The disparities and details of the various teachings and practices of numerology could indeed fill many volumes, and they do. But, for the sake of simplicity, this concise describes only the 5 most important benefits of numerology as they may apply to you.
In the following article we will answer the question “why get a numerology reading”. Here we will discuss the type of information available in numerology like your 2020 angel number and how this can be applied to your life and plans.
1. Enhanced understanding of personal characteristics
The numerology chart has a section labeled “destiny” and the number that fail there is connected with your personal identity as the one moving with or against their life’s path. The essence of this energetic resonance stems from your thought processes, perspective and experience of life. This number is the all-important base to which all other elements of your life and environment can be compared for compatibility.
2. Marriage compatibility revealed
Compatible relationships are rife with special advantages that improve the relationship, just as incompatible relationships can be filled with challenges behind every blade of grass. By taking a closer look at the compatibility you share with your partner you can more judiciously choose your approaches to gain advantages while avoiding catastrophe.
There is no such thing as a 100% compatible relationship or that compatibility will even ensure your relationship lasts, but information is your best ally in making the decisions that can make this possibility a reality.
3. Compatible careers determined
Just like a good relationship, a good career can be built with a clearer understanding of the nature of your professional world. A career that is compatible with your life is far more likely to be enjoyable and the right level of challenging, with neither scathing difficulty nor unbearable boredom.
4. Calculated change-of-life prediction
Around mid-life a change sets in characterized by an awakening of power energy. This is often referred to as the change of life. The “power” number resonates with the energy of the change and this is experienced very differently for every person.
While this can be a tumultuous time, it is also a time of great capacity and potential. A numerology reading can help you plot a course through this precarious stage of life.
5. Yearly personal interest and motivation changes disclosed
Numerology is closely tied into the days and the seasons. Every year is a revolution that places new numerical quandaries and clues that must be considered for success and fortune. You may be alerted to a major change that will occur at the beginning middle or end of the year. Such as Julius Caesar received when he was told the Ides of March were a dangerous time for him. 23 stab wounds later on the 15th of March, Julius Caesar understood the full value of numerology and the significance the number 23 had on his life and its untimely end.

consciouslifenews--2020-03-15--Energy Epidemic: Empath Tips For Traversing the Current Chaos

This week I wanted to write about a topic near and dear to my heart ; empathy .
It goes without saying that feelings of empathy are what connect the hearts of humanity and are the ties that bind us all throughout the cosmos and across all of time and space .
It is what allows us to literally step into the shoes of another and experience their perspective , their view , and even sometimes their thoughts , energy , and feelings as intensely and as vividly as they do themselves .
Most of us are born with an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see someone or something in pain , we get a tingle in our gut that makes us want to reach out and console or help them .
We feel deep down that connection I mentioned earlier , even if we can not on the surface of our consciousness fully understand why or where these feelings are coming from .
In today ’ s society , sadly many of us are unaware of the magnificent details of this connection and most are certainly not taught about it in school or from our parents .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ call Emotional or Intuitive Empaths , are born with such capabilities that they without effort absorb and pick up on the energies , thoughts , and feelings of those around them and therefore are forced to explore this extra-sensory avenue of our physical capabilities .
I , to my blessing and also to my demise , am one of these people .
I haven ’ t shared this truth about myself with many people as I was growing up as even at the age of 3 I knew I was different and felt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adults around me didn ’ t and frankly , I found out the hard way that most adults do not appreciate being corrected , especially by a child .
I got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many questions about God that couldn ’ t be answered and often was asked to leave classrooms for the same reason .
I just couldn ’ t turn off this endless sense of curiosity and wonderment in my brain about the world around me , and with the constant bombardment of emotions , feelings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not merely of my own creation , but of those around me , I was always stimulated , energetically triggered , pushed and pulled emotionally and for a kid not knowing what the hell is happening , it can be quite confusing .
Universities even studied my abilities as a child , but for me personally , it was up to me to find out the answers about who I was , what these gifts were , why they were endowed to me and what purpose they served for me on my path @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hated them and just wanted them to go away .
I hid them from my friends and just played the role of the friend who always gave good advice and was a good listener .
The friend who always knew what you were feeling .
I guess I got pretty good at wearing my masks because I became so embedded in my own disguise that in my 20 ‘ s I had no idea who I was and tried to find myself in drugs , alcohol , meaningless sex and unhealthy relationships that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rightly so .
Today , at age 41 I have no regrets and many goals and dreams ahead of me , but I was recently reminded of just how fragile the heart truly is and just how much more growing I have to do .
I had thought I knew the scope of my gifts , but I finally know now that I am here to use them for the greater good , not to hide them away in shame .
And I feel I ’ m finally ready to do that .

This week I wanted to write about a topic near and dear to my heart; empathy. It goes without saying that feelings of empathy are what connect the hearts of humanity and are the ties that bind us all throughout the cosmos and across all of time and space. It is what allows us to literally step into the shoes of another and experience their perspective, their view, and even sometimes their thoughts, energy, and feelings as intensely and as vividly as they do themselves.
Most of us are born with an innate sense of empathy and if we see someone or something in pain, we get a tingle in our gut that makes us want to reach out and console or help them. We feel deep down that connection I mentioned earlier, even if we cannot on the surface of our consciousness fully understand why or where these feelings are coming from.
In today’s society, sadly many of us are unaware of the magnificent details of this connection and most are certainly not taught about it in school or from our parents. But some of us, those we call Emotional or Intuitive Empaths, are born with such capabilities that they without effort absorb and pick up on the energies, thoughts, and feelings of those around them and therefore are forced to explore this extra-sensory avenue of our physical capabilities. I, to my blessing and also to my demise, am one of these people.
I haven’t shared this truth about myself with many people as I was growing up as even at the age of 3 I knew I was different and felt like an outcast. I knew things adults around me didn’t and frankly, I found out the hard way that most adults do not appreciate being corrected, especially by a child. I got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many questions about God that couldn’t be answered and often was asked to leave classrooms for the same reason.
I just couldn’t turn off this endless sense of curiosity and wonderment in my brain about the world around me, and with the constant bombardment of emotions, feelings, thoughts, and energy that was not merely of my own creation, but of those around me, I was always stimulated, energetically triggered, pushed and pulled emotionally and for a kid not knowing what the hell is happening, it can be quite confusing.
Universities even studied my abilities as a child, but for me personally, it was up to me to find out the answers about who I was, what these gifts were, why they were endowed to me and what purpose they served for me on my path in life. For many years I hated them and just wanted them to go away. I hid them from my friends and just played the role of the friend who always gave good advice and was a good listener. The friend who always knew what you were feeling. I guess I got pretty good at wearing my masks because I became so embedded in my own disguise that in my 20‘s I had no idea who I was and tried to find myself in drugs, alcohol, meaningless sex and unhealthy relationships that only left me feeling used and abused…and rightly so.
Today, at age 41 I have no regrets and many goals and dreams ahead of me, but I was recently reminded of just how fragile the heart truly is and just how much more growing I have to do. I had thought I knew the scope of my gifts, but I finally know now that I am here to use them for the greater good, not to hide them away in shame. And I feel I’m finally ready to do that. You see when you live for others for your entire life, even the idea of self-love feels foreign to you. It is something that comes riddled with guilt and shame because you are just not used to putting yourself first.
However, I know in my heart of hearts that I must come out of this dark night of the soul rising high with the sun and with pride and remembrance of who I chose to not only be but BECOME in this lifetime. If that can inspire just one person to also have the courage to live their truth and not be afraid of who they are, then I will have used my gifts in the way they were intended.
For the majority of my life, I’ve built walls to protect myself and to take care of others. But I realize now and I share this insight with not only other Empaths out there but anyone who feels like they always put themselves out there, just to have their heartbroken over and over again; that we must first LIVE for ourselves so we can LEARN to LOVE for ourselves. Then and only then will we stop breaking our own hearts, and be able to authentically show up in the space that the Universe has carved out just for us. For we are all sparks of divine light, but we must be willing to turn our focus inward because this light resides within our own hearts and can only be seen once we fully embrace our own soul, our own spirit for the perfect imperfection; the sliver of magnificence that it is.

There ’ s a lot I need to do over the next six weeks , before my scheduled C-section , and a lot I ’ ve failed to do over the previous weeks , largely because I ’ ve had many days when I ’ ve felt physically and emotionally incapable of rising to the challenge .
To be fair , there ’ s also been a lot to enjoy and appreciate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fortunate to be pregnant at all , and to have the opportunity to do so much professionally .
But life has felt somewhat pressure-filled as of late , and along with many small wins have come many hours and days when I ’ ve felt drained and defeated .
I recently realized that my best days all have certain things in common—little things I choose to do for my well-being , and a number of unhelpful habits I resist the urge to indulge .
If you ’ re also struggling , personally or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my lessons will be helpful to you too .
5 Things to Stop Doing When You ’ re Struggling and Feeling Drained 1 .
Stop comparing your struggle to anyone else ’ s .
Over a year ago an old friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer .
She ’ s the same age as I am , and she ’ s someone I ’ ve long admired , even though we ’ ve fallen out of touch beyond occasional interactions on social media .
She ’ s left unfulfilling jobs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away from relationships that weren ’ t right for her , even while engaged , when it would have been easier to stay ; and jumped out of more than 100 planes , each leap representative of the courage that guides her every inspiring , bold life choice .
She ’ s faced cancer with the type of bravery I ’ ve come to expect from her , coupled with an honesty and vulnerability about her fears that , to me , displays even more strength .
But still , I know it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sit here in my own very fortunate circumstances—at the same as age as her—I often tell myself I have no reason to be struggling .
My current experience couldn ’ t even be termed a struggle compared to what she ’ s been through .
I should just suck it up when I ’ m having a hard day and push myself through any tiredness or discomfort .
Because I ’ m lucky .
But the reality is , I still have hard days .
I am still going through a high-risk pregnancy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a host of fears and physical symptoms that require my compassion .
I wouldn ’ t compare my hard days to her devastating year—there ’ s clearly no comparison—but the point is , I don ’ t have to .
I ’ m allowed to experience the feelings and struggles associated with my current life circumstances even if someone else ’ s are far more tragic .
And so are you .
Many may have it “ worse , ” but why compare and judge ?
If it helps alleviate self-pity so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you need to keep going , then by all means make comparisons .
But if it only serves to minimize your feelings and needs , try to remember that two people can have completely different situations , and both can need and deserve compassion equally .
When we ’ re going through a tough time , we need to get extra-discriminating about what truly matters and what doesn ’ t .
If we exhaust ourselves with the non-essential , we ’ ll have little energy for the things that can actually move the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that most need our attention .
I remember when I had surgery to remove uterine fibroids seven years back .
I knew I needed to take it easy or else I ’ d prolong my healing , but I also felt the overwhelming urge to maintain order in my environment .
I ’ m a control freak .
It ’ s what I do .
I remember there was a pair of shoes next to the door , where shoes didn ’ t usually go , and not only that ; they were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one day out of surgery , my lower stomach stitched together after being sliced across the middle , yet I still felt the need to slowly lower myself so I could put those shoes in the closet—even though it was painful to do so .
My mother , who was visiting to help me , pointed out the insanity , and I knew she was right .
I now think of those shoes whenever I am struggling physically or emotionally , and I ask myself , what else really doesn ’ t need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I not actually have to do myself ?
Can the dishes wait till the morning ?
Or can I get someone else to do them ?
Does every email in my inbox need a response—and immediately ?

What do I really need to do for myself—physically , emotionally , and professionally ?
And what do I just want to do because I think I , to feel ahead of the curve , or on top of things , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m checking off my to-do list ?
Scaling back can feel like failure , especially if you ’ re Type A , like me , but sometimes we have to prioritize so we can use the limited energy we have wisely .
If we don ’ t , we risk busting open our “ stitches , ” whether that means physical burnout or an emotional breakdown , and then we set ourselves back even further .

Recently I’ve been spread incredibly thin and, at times, I’ve felt stressed to the max.
In addition to being at the tail end of a high-risk pregnancy, with complications, I’ve been working toward various new projects—not just for fulfillment but also because I’ve allowed the business side of running this site to slide for years. And I have a baby coming soon. It’s crucial that I revive what I’ve allowed to deflate because I’ll have a whole new life to provide for.
There’s a lot I need to do over the next six weeks, before my scheduled C-section, and a lot I’ve failed to do over the previous weeks, largely because I’ve had many days when I’ve felt physically and emotionally incapable of rising to the challenge.
To be fair, there’s also been a lot to enjoy and appreciate, and I know I am incredibly fortunate to be pregnant at all, and to have the opportunity to do so much professionally. But life has felt somewhat pressure-filled as of late, and along with many small wins have come many hours and days when I’ve felt drained and defeated.

If you’re also struggling, personally or professionally, and feeling drained, perhaps my lessons will be helpful to you too.
5 Things to Stop Doing When You’re Struggling and Feeling Drained
1. Stop comparing your struggle to anyone else’s.
Over a year ago an old friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s the same age as I am, and she’s someone I’ve long admired, even though we’ve fallen out of touch beyond occasional interactions on social media.
She’s left unfulfilling jobs, despite the financial risk involved; walked away from relationships that weren’t right for her, even while engaged, when it would have been easier to stay; and jumped out of more than 100 planes, each leap representative of the courage that guides her every inspiring, bold life choice.
She’s faced cancer with the type of bravery I’ve come to expect from her, coupled with an honesty and vulnerability about her fears that, to me, displays even more strength. But still, I know it’s been grueling.
As I sit here in my own very fortunate circumstances—at the same as age as her—I often tell myself I have no reason to be struggling. My current experience couldn’t even be termed a struggle compared to what she’s been through. I should just suck it up when I’m having a hard day and push myself through any tiredness or discomfort. Because I’m lucky.
But the reality is, I still have hard days. I am still going through a high-risk pregnancy, juggling a lot, and dealing with a host of fears and physical symptoms that require my compassion.
I wouldn’t compare my hard days to her devastating year—there’s clearly no comparison—but the point is, I don’t have to.
I’m allowed to experience the feelings and struggles associated with my current life circumstances even if someone else’s are far more tragic. And so are you.
Many may have it “worse,” but why compare and judge? If it helps alleviate self-pity so you can find the perspective and strength you need to keep going, then by all means make comparisons. But if it only serves to minimize your feelings and needs, try to remember that two people can have completely different situations, and both can need and deserve compassion equally.
2. Stop focusing on things that aren’t priorities.
When we’re going through a tough time, we need to get extra-discriminating about what truly matters and what doesn’t. If we exhaust ourselves with the non-essential, we’ll have little energy for the things that can actually move the dial in the areas of our life that most need our attention.
I remember when I had surgery to remove uterine fibroids seven years back. I knew I needed to take it easy or else I’d prolong my healing, but I also felt the overwhelming urge to maintain order in my environment. I’m a control freak. It’s what I do.
I remember there was a pair of shoes next to the door, where shoes didn’t usually go, and not only that; they were askew. The horror!
I was one day out of surgery, my lower stomach stitched together after being sliced across the middle, yet I still felt the need to slowly lower myself so I could put those shoes in the closet—even though it was painful to do so. My mother, who was visiting to help me, pointed out the insanity, and I knew she was right.
I now think of those shoes whenever I am struggling physically or emotionally, and I ask myself, what else really doesn’t need to be immediately done, or do I not actually have to do myself?
Can the dishes wait till the morning? Or can I get someone else to do them? Does every email in my inbox need a response—and immediately? Can I say no to some requests? Can I simplify my daily routine? What do I really need to do for myself—physically, emotionally, and professionally? And what do I just want to do because I think I should, to feel ahead of the curve, or on top of things, or good about how much I’m checking off my to-do list?
Scaling back can feel like failure, especially if you’re Type A, like me, but sometimes we have to prioritize so we can use the limited energy we have wisely. If we don’t, we risk busting open our “stitches,” whether that means physical burnout or an emotional breakdown, and then we set ourselves back even further.
3. Stop expecting yourself to do what you could do before.
Maybe you were far more physically active or productive before (I know I was). Or you were the person anyone could call any time, any day, whenever they needed an ear or a hand. Or you were everyone’s go-to person for a night out when they needed to blow off some steam.
It’s easy to cling to our sense of identity when we feel it slipping away. Not only do we mourn who used to be, fearing this change may be permanent, we worry other people may not like this new version of ourselves—this person who’s far less fun or far more needy.
But the thing is, we’re not who we were before. We’re in a new chapter, facing new circumstances and challenges, and our evolving needs won’t go away just because we ignore or neglect them.
I’m not going to sugar coat this: It just plain sucks when you can’t do the things you once enjoyed. My boyfriend has had multiple knee surgeries and ongoing knee problems, and my heart breaks for him knowing he may never be able to do certain things he loves again, like playing basketball.
But he’s accepted his limitations and found new things to do that check off some of the same boxes. He works out on an elliptical to stay in shape and rehab his knee. He throws himself into fantasy football to scratch his competitive itch. And he sweats it out in the sauna to help blow off some steam.
As for me, I’m not going to yoga classes at the moment because I don’t have the time or energy, and I’m also not getting as much done as I once did on a daily basis. But I count my lucky stars that I’ll someday be able to do these things again, even if not for a while after the baby comes.
It’s natural to grieve losses, temporary or permanent, big or small, but eventually we need to accept reality and then ask ourselves, “How can I work with the way things are instead of resisting them?” Otherwise, we cause ourselves a lot of unnecessary stress—and it doesn’t help or change anything.

consciouslifenews--2020-03-14--100% Renewable Energy in Virginia? It Is the First Southern State to Commit

Virginia , which now has a Democrat as governor and Democrats in control of the statehouse , has followed the lead of several other blue states and committed itself to transition away from fossil fuels to a clean , renewable , carbon-free energy , as Vox reported .
It makes Virginia the first state in the South to commit to 100 percent clean energy .
Last September , Gov .
Ralph Northam signed an executive order for the state to run on 100 percent renewable energy completely by 2050 .
His order forced several state agencies to create a plan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 30 percent of the state 's power to renewable sources in the next decade , according to PBS .
The order also brought Virginia into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative ( RGGI ) , a nine state carbon-trading market .
However , Republicans had control of the state house and prohibited Virginia from joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative .
Yet , in November , the balance of power shifted to Democrats .
That led to last week 's passage of the Virginia Clean Economy Act , as Vox reported .
Virginia now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hawaii , Maine , Nevada , New Mexico , New York and Washington — along with Washington DC and Puerto Rico , which have passed similar legal requirements .
More states , like Oregon , will have similar laws enacted soon .
The bill actually pushed Northam 's mandate up five years for Dominion Energy , one of the state 's two power companies .
It will run on clean energy by 2045 , at the latest .
The other , Appalachian Power , will have to 2050 to transition .
The bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investments in energy efficiency , energy storage and in-state solar and wind power , according to Green Tech Media .
It also brings the state back into the RGGI carbon-trading network .
The Virginia Clean Economy Act will also hold costs down and protect low-income and vulnerable communities .
It also requires the state 's energy suppliers to boost power storage , increase their offshore wind energy generation and invest in rooftop solar panels , according to Vox .
“ The cost of doing nothing is staggering , ” said State Sen. Jennifer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mercury reported .
“ Yes , this is a big bill , but it does some very important things that Virginia is far , far behind in doing .
… Sometimes change is necessary to meet a greater good.

By Aaron Kesel | The Mind Unleashed
A study published in the journal Cell Metabolism by a group of Yale researchers found that the consumption of the common artificial sweetener sucralose (found in Splenda, Zerocal, Sukrana, SucraPlus, and others) in combination with carbohydrates can actually raise blood sugar and increase weight.
Sucralose is found in thousands of baked goods, condiments, syrups, and other consumer packaged goods—almost all of them containing carbohydrates.
The finding, which researchers expressed has yet to be replicated in other studies, raises new questions about the use of artificial sweeteners and their effects on weight gain and overall health.
Researchers of the study took 60 healthy individuals who weren’t overweight and separated them into three groups:
One group that consumed a regular-size beverage containing the equivalent of two packets of sucralose sweetener, a second group that consumed a beverage sweetened with table sugar at an equivalent sweetness, and a third control group that had a beverage with the sucralose as well as a carbohydrate called maltodextrin.
The maltodextrin molecules don’t bind to taste receptors in our mouths and are impossible to detect. While the sensation of the third group’s beverage was identical to the sucralose-only group, only this group exhibited significant adverse health effects.
The artificial sweetener by itself seemed to be fine, but that changed when combined with a carbohydrate. Seven beverages over two weeks and the previously healthy people in this group became glucose intolerant, a metabolic condition that results in elevated blood glucose levels and puts people at an increased risk for diabetes.
The experiment follows research that was published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine last year that found that consumption of two or more glasses of artificially sweetened soft drinks a day increased a person’s chance of death from circulatory diseases. While a 2008 study by scientists at Purdue University showed that artificial sweeteners alone could result in higher blood pressure, weight gain, and increased risk of diabetes, stroke, and heart disease in rats.
The scientists in the Purdue study fed yogurt sweetened with glucose to a group of rats. A second group then was given yogurt sweetened with zero-calorie saccharin. This group consumed more calories, gained more weight, put on more body fat, and didn’t make up for it by cutting back later.
Dana Small, one of the researchers, wondered why the rats gained weight in Purdue’s experiment. It was that yogurt, which was high in carbs, according to the study.
Small and her team state the carbs and sucralose work together to confuse the brain, which then miscommunicates with the rest of the body harming its ability to metabolize sugar.
However, Ali Webster, a director of research and nutrition communications for the International Food Information Council, said the study’s methodology is flawed, according to the Hour.
“Take this study with a big grain of salt,” Webster told the Hour. “This had no measurement of food intake over the course of those two weeks. You’d want to keep track of everything else they are eating and drinking.”

consciouslifenews--2020-03-14--10 Mistakes Couples Make In Long Term Relationships And How To Avoid Them

Is a great partnership in the 21st century possible ?
Have you ever wondered why your relationships did not end on a positive note ?
What went wrong and how can you avoid this in the future ?
Through researching , I found some strategic points to help prevent further relationship disasters .
Based on my personal experience , from a ten-year damaged marriage to a rebuilt , well-functioning , and happy relationship , I created a list of mistakes that couples make that will certainly help many of you avoid future unsuccessful relationships .
• Lack of Kindness and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we often forget about these 2 values and they are the foundations of a healthy relationship .
We stop being supportive and kind to our partners and instead start to fight over small things that do not matter .
The Fix : Remember that the other person is also a human , they will always have better or worse days , just like yourself .
Instead of attacking them , offer support .
If there is something you are unhappy about , just communicate it to the other person and ask for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the most basic tool we have , however when it comes to relationships we tend to neglect this part .
No one can guess what you think or feel , this scenario is unrealistic and that is why communication is so important .
Your partner should be your best friend and you should communicate with them as if they are your best friend .
The Fix : Talk .
Talk .
Talk .
Tell your partner what you feel and also listen to your partner when they are talking to you .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ solutions .
Personally , for me , communication is one of the strongest points – it is extremely helpful in all situations and solves a lot .
• Lack of Trust .
In our world , we constantly try to control everything , but the truth is that we do not have any control at all .
You can ’ t stop a person from doing something , everyone needs to be free , a relationship should not feel like a prison .
Jealousy will put you in a low vibration .

By Maria Ruszel | Waking Times
Is a great partnership in the 21st century possible?
Have you ever wondered why your relationships did not end on a positive note? What went wrong and how can you avoid this in the future?
Through researching, I found some strategic points to help prevent further relationship disasters.
Based on my personal experience, from a ten-year damaged marriage to a rebuilt, well-functioning, and happy relationship, I created a list of mistakes that couples make that will certainly help many of you avoid future unsuccessful relationships.
Let’s get started.
Lack of Kindness and Respect When routine enters our relationship, we often forget about these 2 values and they are the foundations of a healthy relationship. We stop being supportive and kind to our partners and instead start to fight over small things that do not matter.
The Fix: Remember that the other person is also a human, they will always have better or worse days, just like yourself. Instead of attacking them, offer support. If there is something you are unhappy about, just communicate it to the other person and ask for a compromise.
Poor Communication. Communication is the most basic tool we have, however when it comes to relationships we tend to neglect this part. No one can guess what you think or feel, this scenario is unrealistic and that is why communication is so important. Your partner should be your best friend and you should communicate with them as if they are your best friend.
The Fix: Talk. Talk. Talk . Tell your partner what you feel and also listen to your partner when they are talking to you. Every conversation brings the possibility of new solutions. Personally, for me, communication is one of the strongest points – it is extremely helpful in all situations and solves a lot.
Lack of Trust. In our world, we constantly try to control everything, but the truth is that we do not have any control at all. You can’t stop a person from doing something, everyone needs to be free, a relationship should not feel like a prison. Jealousy will put you in a low vibration. Living in constant fear will only be detrimental to your life.
The Fix: Learn to trust in your partner. Realize that they chose you because they want to be with you. Being confident in who you are is key. If you ever feel jealous, communicate this to your partner right away. A good match with a partner is a person who understands that jealousy is a normal process. On the other hand, avoid making your partner jealous because this leads to nowhere. When you know your self-worth, none of this will matter. Think of the best scenario instead of thinking about the worst scenario. This will prevent you from distorting your reality. (See point 2)
Unsuccessful Sex Life. Sex is a very important area for couples. Everyone has different sexual needs and libido. There are many books, discussions, and opinions on the subject. When you first begin to date, sexual passion is usually very high. It is important to not forget this aspect. Of course, life happens and as you begin to be more comfortable with each other, this drive can change. However, it is important to keep the passion alive for a healthy relationship.
The Fix: Sex combines fantasy and passion, both are important elements that you must bring to the bedroom, each couple has their own way of expressing their needs.
A huge discovery I had in my relationship is the need to continue dating even if you’ve been together for a long time. This means going out for dinner, enjoying each other’s company and maybe even going to a hotel once in a while. When dating, avoid doing it at home. My husband and I travel together without our child and feel free to be like teenagers for a moment and can really enjoy each other’s company.
No Passion or Motivation. Many couples do not look for hobbies and passions they can enjoy together. This element connects and allows the pleasure of being with another person. When we forget to incorporate passion and motivation in our daily lives, the days become routine which does not make anybody happy.
The Fix: Find things that you enjoy doing together and add this element into the routine of your week. – It could be doing sports, watching movies, etc.
Look for new things and motivations to enjoy together, there are many options available. For us, it was helpful to find new projects which we can do together.

Plan the trade show far in advance
Planning in advanced is the most important thing, and frankly the most obvious before a trade show. You need to plan way ahead of the scheduled time to give you leeway for any changes in case you need to make them.
You also want enough time for attendees to book all flights and secure the rooms before announcing the trade show and its location. This gives time for pre-show campaign planning and launching a new product before the trade show. It also provides everyone to prepare for the trade show.
Use social media for advertisement
Ask you social media manager to create a trendy and catchy advertisement about the trade show. Let them know some of the important details of the trade show like the location, the special guest and agenda for the day.
The event organiser should repost and share the event advertisement to their followers. Make sure you post and advertise the exhibitions, behind the senses, product and services, useful insights and the agenda.
Pre-show booth meetings
Some of the most successful trade shows have re-scheduled booth meetings with their partners, customers and prospects. Create and share a calendar to give the team more visuals on the booth and schedule an arrangement so they can visualise what will be available during the trade show.
Promotion materials, giveaways, stand demonstrations and more.
There is probably going to be a lot happening at the trade show. You want to ensure your attendees have a reason to visit all the stands on the trade show.
Promote giveaways
Many exhibitors often have free giveaways like water bottles, sunglasses, and other small items for potential clients. Giveaways are good, but those are the actual things that the audience will hold valuable.
You also want to give them an item that will always remind them of your brand every time they use it, something that will last with them for a while.
Celebrity and inspirational guest speakers
Many people are only willing to attend a trade show arranged by companies and organisations or people they are familiar with or have heard of. Celebrity and motivational guest speakers will do a lot in marketing the trade show. More people will want to attend the event if they hear a big league will be giving an inspirational speech.
Competitions
Who does not like to feel like a winner? Competitions are a great lure for attendees. People will appreciate the chance to win something worthwhile during the trade show. Unlike in the past, a simple win like a coffee cup will not do you any good. Giving the clients a percentage of other product, or even free product will lure more people to the trade shows. Ask different booths to set up a wheel of fortune and other competitive games to lure in more clients into the trade show.
On stand demonstrations
This works well for vendors or booths that offer services more than products, or people who have products that can be used for demonstrations. Platform demonstrations will not only help people learn how to use the products and services on the stand but can also do a lot of good in bringing more clients to the trade show.
Give away Useful content
During planning, ensure you create handy content that includes the reports, factsheets and content on the companies at the trade show. This is a great way to get more people interested in the companies hosting the trade show.

Make the booth more approachable
Coach the team to look more positive and be more helpful to people passing by to attract more people and for a more positive review. Create some sort for print information like a brochure or flyers for the customers; always have them ready when a new client arrives.
Join the after-show activities
The main aim of the trade show is to get companies, corporations, investors and other business people to interact with each other and their products. After the show, people get a chance to speak to investors, the competition and their prospective partners. This will be the perfect opportunity for networking. Talk to as many people as you can, creating business connections and network. Do not forget to exchange business cards. Make sure you schedule a debrief with the teams after the trade shows.
Final word
Trade shows offer a chance for potential clients, business people, investors and companies to meet. One of the main benefits of trade shows is that buyers attend to get all the information they need about the companies on display. The only thing you have to look out for is the competition.
