How Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) affects the Human body
Introduction In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in exposure to artificial radio frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs). As a result, there is growing scientific and social interest in understanding the potential influence of EMFs on human health, even at exposure levels below the current standards. The intensity of electromagnetic radiation in our environment has reached unprecedented levels, raising concerns about its impact on our bodies.

Thought And Character
Thought And Character THE aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those, which are deliberately executed. Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry. "Thought in the mind hath made us, What we are By thought was wrought and built. If a man's mind Hath evil thoughts, pain comes on him as comes The wheel the ox behind.... ..If one endure In purity of thought, joy follows him As his own shadow—sure." Man is a growth by law, and not a creation by artifice, and cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of visible and material things. A noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favour or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with Godlike thoughts. An ignoble and bestial character, by the same process, is the result of the continued harbouring of grovelling thoughts. Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master. Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul which have been restored and brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this—that man is the master of thought, the moulder of character, and the maker and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny. As a being of Power, Intelligence, and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he wills. Man is always the master, even in his weaker and most abandoned state; but in his weakness and degradation he is the foolish master who misgoverns his "household." When he begins to reflect upon his condition, and to search diligently for the Law upon which his being is established, he then becomes the wise master, directing his energies with intelligence, and fashioning his thoughts to fruitful issues. Such is the conscious master, and man can only thus become by discovering within himself the laws of thought; which discovery is totally a matter of application, self analysis, and experience. Only by much searching and mining, are gold and diamonds obtained, and man can find every truth connected with his being, if he will dig deep into the mine of his soul; and that he is the maker of his character, the moulder of his life, and the builder of his destiny, he may unerringly prove, if he will watch, control, and alter his thoughts, tracing their effects upon himself, upon others, and upon his life and circumstances, linking cause and effect by patient practice and investigation, and utilizing his every experience, even to the most trivial, everyday occurrence, as a means of obtaining that knowledge of himself which is Understanding, Wisdom, Power. In this direction, as in no other, is the law absolute that "He that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened;" for only by patience, practice, and ceaseless importunity can a man enter the Door of the Temple of Knowledge. # BE INSPIRED AND MOTIVATED

Renewable Energy Sources (R.E.S.)
Renewables have been one of the main goals of the sustainability movement. Solar energy is cheaper now than oil, gas, nuclear, and coal. This is an impressive recent development. Coal used to be the cheapest source of energy, but wind and solar plants were more expensive than coal thirteen years ago. Banks considered them a high-risk investment back then.Solar energy has an extensive history of being subsidized by government, which has resulted in solar prices becoming incredibly low. However, there are many problems with solar that may need to be addressed before it can become the go-to form of energy.Shell and other fossil fuel companies require an 8 to 12 percent return on investment for renewable energy projects to be profitable. However, this is not a realistic expectation, as solar and wind-based energy generation projects typically yield returns of only 4 to 8 percent . Fossil fuel companies are unlikely to fulfill their promises to transition to renewables because they know that these conditions are arbitrary and unattainable.But that’s not what happened. After I finished saying that sentence, cities all over Britain started filling up with black smoke. My mistake was that I didn’t realize that steam was better for exploiting humans than water. Although water was a cheaper source of energy, it was less profitable because flowing water sources are pretty often out in the countryside. If you want to use them, you often need to bring people to the water, and if those people you moved closer to the water strike, it’s hard to find scabs to replace them out in the boonies. Fossil fuels, however, can be brought into the cities where a massive population of recently impoverished people are already there and they’re desperate for work now that the enclosures have cut them off. Community-managed farms abundant city workers are more exploitable than scarce countryside workers. Water has its own rhythm; sometimes it doesn’t flow, and therefore people don’t work in the city. Though as long as you keep shoveling coal, you can work through the night every day of the week for as long as you can get people to stay in the factory. The only limit on exploitation is the amount of people and the amount of coal, and there was plenty of both. Lastly, water is hard to collect and privatize; a coal mine or an oil well is fundamentally just a hole in the ground surrounded by guns. It’s easy to claim as your own and to enforce that claim with violence in a way that is much harder with the naturally occurring water source that can run for miles. And if you’re thinking about building a reservoir… well, that gets a little too.Community projects for privatization meant that even though water was cheaper, it was less profitable as a source of energy. Fossil fuels, coal specifically, were fantastic for the burgeoning capitalist class not because they were cheaper but because they were an excellent source of surplus value. Okay, detour over. The reason I took that massive detour is not only that it reiterates this video’s main point which is that under capitalism profit matters not price, but it’s also giving us a bit of insight into what’s happening with renewables right now. In this video, you’ve heard me say over and over again that renewables aren’t profitable, and that’s not exactly true. Providing renewable energy isn’t profitable since governments have slowly stopped guaranteeing high prices to renewable energy providers. Something you won’t be surprised to find out is that the fossil fuel industry lobbies for the efficiency race which is good for all of us has been bad for those trying to extract a profit. They used to be able to generate electricity for cheap and sell it for expensive, and now they can’t do that anymore which has driven them out of the energy providing game. Basically, the strategy of creating a competitive capitalist market that countries like Germany undertook worked too well to the point that the margins don’t justify the investment anymore. Capitalism always requires monopoly and strategic inefficiency to extract profit to the detriment of the rest of us. Competition is often the enemy, and right now that makes solar energy provision a bad venture

A Cemetery Of Carbohydrates
I'm not going to talk about carbs, burning calories, and choosing the right diet. I'm not an expert in the field (and as of today, I couldn't care less about the subject). Although I diligently burn my calories every day. As well as replenish their stocks by munching on whatever my void deems edible. My body feels just fine, at least in this department (stomach compartment). I am grateful for my well-functioning metabolic processes, stressful life, good habits, bad habits, and low income. Hell yeah!
