The Secret Body Material That No One Researched Much Until Now

Image
How you sit, whether you engage in specific exercises, and how your muscles keep their shape all relate to a particular element of the body that remains largely unknown. Photo by Geert Pieters on Unsplash Medical research swiftly pursued the secrets of our bodies, overlooking many facets of our physiology in this race; researchers are now surprised by the attention and potential of one unstudied aspect. What exactly is this mysterious substance, and why do you need to know about it ? New research is beginning to study this hidden neural network deep in this tissue and it would seem to have promise. The mysterious material is called fascia , and fascia isn’t just an empty sack of tissue that holds muscles and nerves together, but is much more complex. Fascia contributes to our body’s stability and enables us to stand upright, move smoothly, and maintain other areas yet to be discovered . Because of its role in enhancing function and support by creating continuity among tis

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Santa Barbara , CA With Alan Lays passing this week, we at Fine Art Conservation Lab . will miss him. He was referred to us by Ray Redfern of Redfern Gallery in Laguna Beach and over the last few years we had the pleasure of working closely with him to go through his entire collection of early California paintings so that they will be preserved long term and look their best well into the future. He was, even in his advanced stages of poor health, enthusiastic about the adventures of collecting art, the friendships and associations he had made, and the great pleasure he received from being surrounded by his wonderful collection at home. His favorite painting was “Girl in Pink Dress” (and a big red parasol… which also has an interesting and beautiful painting of Water Lillies #3 on the verso) by Donna Schuster which hung in his bedroom. In the process of working with him, he wanted the best job done for all of the collection’s paintings future. If

Article on When Talking to AI Is Like Talking to a Difficult Teenager or Student

            In doing research using AI, have you ever wondered whether the information is accurate, and how do you know?  That's what one author considered after asking AI to do research and found that getting the results was like talking to a teenager or student who doesn't know the right answer, makes up the results, and then lies about it. She describes her experiencing in overcoming some false and invented information and finally getting it right in an article on Medium at https://tinyurl.com/3zm6cnyf and in Substack a https://gini.substack.com/p/when-talking-to-ai-is-like-talking             As the author, Gini Graham Scott, PhD, describes, she had this experience after she asked ChatGPT for some data about the numbers and costs of prisoners and the police for a book she was writing for American Leadership Books, a company specializing in books on crime, politics, and social issues. The book was Our Costly Crime and Law and Order Problem – all about the ways in which t

September 12, 2024 NALC endorses Harris-Walz [embedded content] NALC President Brian L. Renfroe issued the following statement: The nation’s 290,000 active and retired city letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) are proud to announce our endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz to serve as the next president and vice president of the United States.   The debate on Tuesday night reinforced what we know: Vice President Harris and Governor Walz have the pro-labor record we support and the pro-worker vision we need in the White House in 2025 and beyond. Both have a strong history of fighting on behalf of unions and union members. We know a Harris-Walz Administration will work with NALC to address unique challenges facing letter carriers and the Postal Service. As a local prosecutor, state attorney general, senator, and vice president, Kamala Harris is a proven supporter of working families, organized labor, and the

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Toronto , Ontario Tuesday, September 10, 2024   I was reading through The Globe and Mail and found a rather curious headline: “The demise of Jaguar is a sad reality for anyone who loves cars.” I’m not the biggest car enthusiast, but I read through the opinion piece. Turns out that Jaguar will axe all of its current models of cars and switch to electric-only vehicles. The new generation of vehicles will be sold exclusively through dealers, bucking an apparent wider trend of selling direct. Also, the leaping jaguar as the logo is no more. The cat will now retire into it’s ninth life. It feels like a very odd move to make, so I wanted to read more about the history of the Jaguar brands. What stood out for me was the brand’s ownership history. The company that would become Jaguar was founded in 1922. Then, they made a car with a Jaguar in the name in 1935. The company morphed into “Jaguar Cars” in 1945. It was then nationalized by the Briti

Right Whales Thrive When We Finally See Climate Change as a Symptom of Place-based Problems

Image
My first experience with a right whale was as a college student alone on the deck of a twenty-seven-foot sailboat. Suddenly, beside me was what looked like a sandbar the length of the boat. Yet, it was alive and moving forward. Those below decks thought I was having an epileptic attack.  I had never imagined there could be an animal so big.  This was 1974 before pictures of whales underwater had been published.  The whale surfaced only once, close by, perhaps to give us a look or to be seen. Leaving a circular slick spot in the water, the whale was never seen again.  It was a right whale because of its broad back and no dorsal fin.  I was hooked while the whale swam free. At that time, there were estimated to be 350 North Atlantic right whales. The whale population grew to more than 420 whales, and then, during the last decade and a half, the right whale population plummeted to 350 or less. Most alarming is that there may be fewer than 70 reproductive female rights whales. The gover

School vouchers and the Antoines and Jamals of the K-12 public education system

Image
According to the American Federation for Children’s 2020 School Choice Guidebook , 12 states plus Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. have school voucher programs. These programs are designed to provide access to high-quality private school education for students in failing K-12 public schools. The vouchers are typically awarded to students from low-income families. Parents receive state-funded scholarships to send their children to private schools of their choice. School vouchers have become one of the most hotly debated political topics in America. Critics of the programs say they drain much-needed funds from already cash-strapped public schools. In my home state of Pennsylvania, a newly proposed voucher program would give families up to $10,000 in scholarships to send their children to private schools. The highly controversial bill was advanced to the state Senate floor out of committee earlier this year, but it is unclear whether it will be passed into law. On the surface, the na

Adding Some Facts

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Does anyone realize that the minimum wage laws in the US were created to provide people with some income while they sought better work, or education, or brief departures from the normal work force? They were never intended to provide the income for full-time support, to raise a family, to lead a middle-class life. And to suggest that what works in Denmark, or Fiji, or Iceland is applicable to the US is sheer nonsense, unless you also believe that an overwater airliner can fly on solar power.

931 ? Don?t fall short on this: Tom talks Why I Don?t Waste Time On Customer Service

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Virginia Beach , VA Summary by ChatGPT In episode 931 of Screw the Commute, Tom Antion discusses why he doesn’t waste time on customer service while still maintaining a high level of service. He emphasizes that although he is dedicated to providing excellent customer service, he uses sequential autoresponders to handle routine tasks. This automation allows him to focus on more complex issues while still offering timely responses to his 65,000 customers and 150,000 email subscribers. Tom explains that autoresponders, especially sequential ones, send out automated messages triggered by specific customer actions, such as purchases or opt-ins. These messages provide helpful information, customer support, and even special offers. He shares how autoresponders improve customer satisfaction by offering value consistently, which builds trust and opens opportunities for sales promotions. He credits KickStartCart, a shopping cart and email system he has us

I Don?t Talk to People in Elevators

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Friday, September 6, 2024   Every time I hear about an “elevator pitch” I think of pitching someone out of an elevator. This is a relationship business, not a con game. Sales are not adversarial, with someone “winning” and someone “losing.” They should be “win/win.” Adblock test (Why?) source http://www.expertclick.com/NewsRelease/I-Dont-Talk-to-People-in-Elevators,2024306524.aspx
