Former long-shot presidential candidate Marianne Williamson expressed her belief in a conspiracy theory spread by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance about Haitian immigrants.

The self-help author and would-be Democratic challenger suspended her campaign in July after Kamala Harris ascended to the top of the ticket with President Joe Biden's withdrawal, but she placed credence in the GOP ticket's claims that immigrants are stealing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

"Continuing to dump on Trump because of the 'eating cats' issue will create blowback on Nov. 5," Williamson posted on X. "Haitian voodoo is in fact real, and to dismiss the story out-of-hand rather than listen to the citizens of Springfield, Ohio confirms in the minds of many voters the stereotype of Democrats as smug elite jerks who think they’re too smart to listen to anyone outside their own silo."

Local police and the city manager have both offered statements this week debunking claims about the Springfield's immigrant population that appear to have originated two weeks ago with a white supremacist group leader who spoke at a city council meeting.

Drake Berentz, who signed up for public comment using a fake name that's an anagram for a racial slur, was removed from a city council meeting Aug. 27 after making outlandish claims about the city's 10,000 to 15,000 immigrants from Haiti who have legally relocated to the central Ohio city of around 60,000 people.

Vance, who is also a U.S. senator representing the state, passed off those claims this week on social media and Trump repeated them, even after local officials said there's no evidence they're true, during his debate with Kamala Harris — exactly two weeks after the hate group leader made them before city council.

Williamson expressed support during her campaign for legal pathways for immigrants and lamented the hate and vitriol that endanger them.

"Immigrants are not our enemies," her campaign website reads. "This is so important to remember today as immigrants are often viciously scapegoated. Scapegoating immigrants, particularly Mexicans and Central Americans, is a deliberate dehumanization technique. Dehumanizing others has always been the required first step leading toward history’s collective atrocities. This is not the first time dehumanization has reared its head in our nation, and we must stand up against it now as other generations stood up against it in their time."

Trump has been associating immigrants with the fictional cannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lector, and his claims about Haitian immigrants eating pets appears to be rooted in both historic disgust about immigrant foods and hysteria over rare instances of human sacrifices by practitioners of voodoo, which is a syncretism between several traditional religions of West and Central Africa and Roman Catholicism.

 

New study: drug may stop migraines before headache starts

 LIKE MAGICK

American Academy of Neurology

MINNEAPOLIS – When taken at the first signs of a migraine, before headache pain begins, a drug called ubrogepant may be effective in helping people with migraine go about their daily lives with little or no symptoms, according to a new study published in the August 28, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study focused on people with migraine who could tell when an attack was about to happen, due to early symptoms such as sensitivity to light and sound, fatigue, neck pain or stiffness, or dizziness.   

Ubrogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, or CGRP inhibitor. CGRP is a protein that plays a key role in the migraine process.

“Migraine is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, yet so many people who suffer from this condition do not receive treatment or report that they are not satisfied with their treatment,” said study author Richard B. Lipton, MD, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, and Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology. “Improving care at the first signs of migraine, even before headache pain begins, can be a key to improved outcomes. Our findings are encouraging, suggesting that ubrogepant may help people with migraine function normally and go about their day.”

The study involved 518 participants who had migraine for at least one year and two to eight migraine attacks per month in the three months before the study. All of the participants regularly experienced signs that a migraine would be starting within the next few hours. Participants were asked to treat two attacks during a two-month period.

Researchers divided participants into two groups. The first group received a placebo for their first set of pre-headache symptoms of migraine, followed by taking 100 milligrams (mg) of ubrogepant for their second instance of symptoms. The second group took ubrogepant for the first instance and placebo for the second instance.

Participants evaluated limitations on their activity in their diary using a scale ranging from zero to five, with 0 meaning “not at all limited – I could do everything”; 1, “a little limited”; 2, “somewhat limited”; 3, “very limited”; or 4, “extremely limited.”

Twenty-four hours after taking the drug or a placebo, 65% of people who took ubrogepant reported themselves as “not at all limited – I could do everything,” or “a little limited,” compared to 48% of those who took the placebo.

Researchers found that as early as two hours post-medication, people who took the drug were 73% more likely to report that they had “no disability, able to function normally,” than those who took the placebo.

“Based on our findings, treatment with ubrogepant may allow people with migraine who experience early warning signs before a migraine occurs to quickly treat migraine attacks in their earliest stages and go about their daily lives with little discomfort and disruption,” said Lipton. “This could lead to an improved quality of life for those living with migraine.”

Lipton noted that participants showed that based on their headache warning symptoms, they could reliably predict impending migraine headaches.  These findings apply only to those with reliable warning symptoms. 

A limitation of the study was that participants recorded their symptoms and medication use in electronic diaries, so it is possible some people may not have recorded all information accurately.

The study was funded by AbbVie, the maker of ubrogepant.

Manifesting has a dark side

DO WHAT THOU WILT, SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW

The Conversation
July 17, 2024 

Cast Of Thousands/Shutterstock

Have you tried manifesting? It’s hard to escape on social media – the idea that you can will what you desire into reality through the power of belief. This could be financial success, romantic love or sporting glory.

Singer Dua Lipa, who headlined Glastonbury festival in June 2024, has said that performing on Friday night at the festival was “on her dream board”. “If you’re manifesting out there, be specific – because it might happen!”

Manifesting gained popularity quickly during the pandemic. By 2021, the 3-6-9 manifestation method was famous. A TikTok viewed over a million times, for instance, explains this “no fail manifesting technique”. You write down what you want three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon and nine times before you go to bed and repeating until it comes true. Now, content creators are explaining countless methods to speak your dreams into reality



But the idea that if you wish for something hard enough it will happen isn’t new. It grew out of the self-help movement. Some early popular books that peddled this idea include Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich from as long ago as 1937, and Louise Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life from 1984.

No one’s 20s and 30s look the same. You might be saving for a mortgage or just struggling to pay rent. You could be swiping dating apps, or trying to understand childcare. No matter your current challenges, our Quarter Life series has articles to share in the group chat, or just to remind you that you’re not alone.

The trend really took off with Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret, a book published in 2006 which claims you can bring about whatever you desire through the power of manifestation. It has sold more than 35 million copies and boasts many celebrity fans. Drawing upon the “law of attraction”, Byrne proclaims: “Your whole life is a manifestation of the thoughts that go on in your head.”

Manifesting as an intellectual vice

But there is a dark side to manifesting. Popular trends such as the 3-6-9 manifestation method promote obsessive and compulsive behavioural patterns, and they also encourage flawed thinking habits and faulty reasoning.

Manifesting is a form of wishful thinking, and wishful thinking leads to false conclusions, often through the inaccurate weighing of evidence. The wishful thinker overinflates their optimism about the likelihood of a preferred outcome. In philosophical terms, this kind of thinking is called an “intellectual vice”: it blocks a rational person’s attainment of knowledge.

Manifesting urges people to dream big and imagine in detail everything they desire. This sets people’s expectations unnaturally high, setting them up for failure and disappointment. It’s arguably a form of toxic positivity.

If you believe your own thoughts have the power to create reality, you may end up downplaying or ignoring practical actions and the efforts of others. You might manifest by saying: “I attract positive things to me”. But in doing so, you may not notice or credit the role of luck, chance, privilege and circumstance in explaining why some things happen and others do not.

Logical errors

Manifesting leads to logical errors. Someone who practices manifesting – and who finds that something they manifested comes true – is likely to attribute these desired outcomes to their prior hoping or wishing. But this does not mean hoping was the cause of the outcome. Just because one came before the other does not mean it was the cause: correlation does not imply causation.



Manifesting journal. Mallika Jain/Dupe

If you believe the power of wishing for something results in what you want coming true, you will disproportionately attribute your mental activity with causal efficacy over other causes.

For instance, if you study hard for an exam and achieve a good grade, you might end up attributing this outcome to the daily mantra or repeated affirmations you said leading up to the test, rather than crediting the effort you put into studying. For your next test, you might keep on manifesting, but study less.

And when a hoped-for outcome does not occur, you might find yourself accounting for it in positive or fatalistic terms: the universe has something better planned. The negative outcome becomes additional evidence that you should still think positively, and so you won’t change your approach.

While it may seem initially appealing, manifesting may also encourage victim blaming: that if someone had thought more positively, an outcome would have been different. It also fails to encourage people to make backup plans, leaving them vulnerable to luck and circumstance.

Manifesting is very self-involved. The wants of the manifester are central to their focus and the use of their mental energy and time.

If you rely solely on mental power to achieve your desires, you will not succeed. Try to consider the various factors that support and resist your goals. Finally, remember that sometimes the thoughts we think are imaginative, fictive, fanciful or fantastic. It is enriching and positive that in many cases, our thoughts do not come true.

After being insulted, writing down your feelings on paper then getting rid of it reduces anger

A research group in Japan has discovered that writing down one's reaction to a negative incident on a piece of paper and then shredding it or throwing it away reduces feelings of anger. 

 

“We expected that our method would suppress anger to some extent,” lead researcher Nobuyuki Kawai said. “However, we were amazed that anger was eliminated almost entirely.” 

 

This research is important because controlling anger at home and in the workplace can reduce negative consequences in our jobs and personal lives. Unfortunately, many anger management techniques proposed by specialists lack empirical research support. They can also be difficult to recall when angry.  

 

The results of this study, published in Scientific Reports, are the culmination of years of previous research on the association between the written word and anger reduction. It builds on work showing how interactions with physical objects can control a person’s mood. 

 

For their project, Kawai and his graduate student Yuta Kanaya, both at the Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University, asked participants to write brief opinions about important social problems, such as whether smoking in public should be outlawed. They then told them that a doctoral student at Nagoya University would evaluate their writing.  

 

However, the doctoral students doing the evaluation were plants. Regardless of what the participants wrote, the evaluators scored them low on intelligence, interest, friendliness, logic, and rationality. To really drive home the point, the doctoral students also wrote the same insulting comment: “I cannot believe an educated person would think like this. I hope this person learns something while at the university”.  

 

After handing out these negative comments, the researchers asked the participants to write their thoughts on the feedback, focusing on what triggered their emotions. Finally, one group of participants was told to either dispose of the paper they wrote in a trash can or keep it in a file on their desk. A second group was told to destroy the document in a shredder or put it in a plastic box.  

 

The students were then asked to rate their anger after the insult and after either disposing of or keeping the paper. As expected, all participants reported a higher level of anger after receiving insulting comments. However, the anger levels of the individuals who discarded their paper in the trash can or shredded it returned to their initial state after disposing of the paper. Meanwhile, the participants who held on to a hard copy of the insult experienced only a small decrease in their overall anger.  

 

Kawai imagines using his research to help businesspeople who find themselves in stressful situations. “This technique could be applied in the moment by writing down the source of anger as if taking a memo and then throwing it away when one feels angry in a business situation,” he explained.  

 

Along with its practical benefits, this discovery may shed light on the origins of the Japanese cultural tradition known as hakidashisara (hakidashi refers to the purging or spitting out of something, and sara refers to a dish or plate) at the Hiyoshi shrine in Kiyosu, Aichi Prefecture, just outside of Nagoya. Hakidashisara is an annual festival where people smash small discs representing things that make them angry. Their findings may explain the feeling of relief that participants report after leaving the festival.

Abstract

The Earthsea Cycle by Ursula. K. Le Guin is a fantasy work in Western literature that shines with ostentatiously idiosyncratic sparks of Taoist philosophies. Resorting to Taoism (also translated as Daoism) and its representative work Tao Te Ching, this article aims at exploring the Earthsea magic, a ubiquitous motif in fantasy, with Taoist thoughts and theories including the law of relativity, harmonious dialectics, and equilibrium. This article reconstructs the magical Earthsea world within a Taoist framework and reveals the Taoist connotations of magic. Finally, this article concludes that, radically distinct from its traditional image, magic in Earthsea serves to heal the physical, mental, and spiritual wound of separation; set up harmony of the opposites in binaries; and preserve the delicate equilibrium insusceptible to the ravages of time. Magic in The Earthsea Cycle works miracles in a Taoist manner.

Predictions for the Year of the Dragon

By Tony Lai

February 12, 2024






What can we expect in the Year of the Dragon? Who will fare better? Which sectors in Macau can enjoy robust growth? A Macau-based feng shui master shares his predictions


It’s time to unleash the roar! As we usher in 2024, the Chinese zodiac for this year will be the dragon, symbolising power, emperors, and royalty in Chinese traditions. Besides representing majesty, a Macau-based feng shui master indicates that 2024 also represents a new start.

In Chinese feng shui, there is a concept of a mega cycle that spans 180 years and is divided into nine 20-year phases. According to Master Sam Pou (森寶師傅), the world has just concluded the Eighth Phase, which spanned from 2004 to 2023, and this year marks the beginning of the Ninth Phase, which is between 2024 and 2043.

The last three years before the end of a phase, such as the 2021-2023 period for the Eighth Phase, typically bring financial turmoil, says Master Sam Pou. “But we have put the worst behind us for now,” he continues.

As the Eighth Phase represented the element of earth, with robust sectors in infrastructure and real estate during the past two decades, the Ninth Phase stands for the element of fire, according to the feng shui master. “Thus, the Ninth Phase will be a huge boost for the city’s development in hi-tech, healthcare, and high-end tourism sectors,” he adds.

In addition, during the Year of the Dragon, it is worth noting that the east corner of a place—be it a home or an office—represents strong romance and interpersonal relationships, while the south corner signifies financial loss. The south-eastern direction is associated with illnesses, the west indicates severe illnesses, the north symbolises good wealth and career, and the north-eastern direction is linked to academic excellence.

Predictions for 12 Chinese Zodiac Signs

As we celebrate the Year of the Dragon, which begins on 10 February, Master Sam Pou outlines his forecasts for the 12 Chinese zodiac signs in terms of wealth, career, health, and love.

1,900-year-old bone — filled with hallucinogenic seeds — is ‘rare’ find. What’s it for?

SHAMAN'S MAGICK RATTLE

Moira Ritter
Thu, February 8, 2024 

About 1,900 years ago, someone in what is now the Netherlands hollowed out a sheep or goat femur, filled it with poisonous, hallucinogenic black seeds and sealed it with tar. Eventually, the bone ended up in a pit as an offering.

Now, archaeologists exploring the Houten-Castellum site — a “unique” ancient settlement that was inhabited between about the sixth century B.C. and the second century A.D. — have unearthed the bone, according to a study published Feb. 8 in the journal Antiquity.

The animal bone is a “rare” find and an important discovery: It’s the “first conclusive evidence for the intentional use” of black henbane, a poisonous plant belonging to the nightshade family, in the Roman world.

Archaeologists said the bone was used as a container for the seeds.
Uncover more archaeological finds

Black henbane plants are “extremely poisonous” but “can also be used as a medicinal or psychoactive drug,” archaeologists said. The species is indigenous to Europe and Asia, and while it is not commonly found today, it once thrived among ancient settlement areas “on dunghills and in nutrient-rich locations in vegetable gardens.”

Evidence of black henbane in ancient settlements dates back as early as 7,500 years ago, when experts believe people were already using the plant for its “psychoactive properties.”

Historical accounts from ancient writers indicate that despite its known hallucinogenic and poisonous effects, black henbane also had medicinal properties, the researchers said in a Feb. 8 news release from the Freie Universität Berlin.

The plant could remedy ailments such as “fever, cough and pain,” experts said.

Archaeologists have long struggled to study the use of the plant, Maaike Groot, who led the team of archaeologists, said in the release.

“Since black henbane can grow naturally in and around settlements, its seeds can end up in archaeological sites simply by chance,” she said. “This makes it difficult to prove if it was used intentionally by humans – whether medicinally or recreationally.”

At the Houten-Castellum site, archaeologists found traces of black henbane, but only two of them appeared to be intentional, according to researchers.

Aside from the seed-filled bone, experts also unearthed a full black henbane plant that was buried as an offering along with four cooking pots and some kind of basket or trap, they said. However, experts noted it is not impossible that the plant was not intentionally placed in the offering, and instead ended up there by chance, as Groot explained.

The hollowed bone, however, likely served as a container for black henbane, indicating that humans intentionally stored and used the seeds, researchers argued.

“The fact that, in our case, the seeds were found inside a hollowed-out sheep or goat bone sealed with a black birch-bark tar plug indicates that the henbane was stored there intentionally,” Groot said.

Archaeologists said when they found the bone, it held about 1,000 seeds, but in the process of unearthing the artifact, only about 382 of the seeds were preserved. If filled to its maximum capacity, the bone could probably hold around 4,000 seeds, experts said.

The discovery marks the fifth example of intentional ancient black henbane use in north-western Europe, according to the university. Only one of the other examples, which dates to the medieval period and was found in Denmark, was found in a container like the Houten-Castellum discovery.

Houten is about 30 miles southeast of Amsterdam.

Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times

3X IS THE MAGICK NUMBER

Laura Paddison, CNN
Wed, December 20, 2023 

Scientists in California shooting nearly 200 lasers at a cylinder holding a fuel capsule the size of a peppercorn have taken another step in the quest for fusion energy, which, if mastered, could provide the world with a near-limitless source of clean power.

Last year on a December morning, scientists at the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California (LLNL) managed, in a world first, to produce a nuclear fusion reaction that released more energy than it used, in a process called “ignition.”

Now they say they have successfully replicated ignition at least three times this year, according to a December report from the LLNL. This marks another significant step in what could one day be an important solution to the global climate crisis, driven primarily by the burning of fossil fuels.

For decades, scientists have attempted to harness fusion energy, essentially recreating the power of the sun on Earth.

After making their historic net energy gain last year, the next important step was to prove the process could be replicated.

Brian Appelbe, a research fellow from the Centre for Inertial Fusion Studies at Imperial College London, said the ability to replicate demonstrates the “robustness” of the process, showing it can be achieved even when conditions such as the laser or fuel pellet are varied.

Each experiment also offers an opportunity to study the physics of ignition in detail, Appelbe told CNN. “This provides valuable information to the scientists in addressing the next challenge to be overcome: how to maximize the energy that can be obtained.”

Unlike nuclear fission — the process used in the world’s nuclear plants today, which is generated by the division of atoms — nuclear fusion leaves no legacy of long-lived radioactive waste. As the climate crisis accelerates, and the urgency of ditching planet-heating fossil fuels increases, the prospect of an abundant source of safe, clean energy is tantalizing.

Nuclear fusion, the reaction that powers the sun and other stars, involves smashing two or more atoms together to form a denser one, in a process that releases huge amounts of energy.

There are different ways of creating energy from fusion, but at NIF, scientists fire an array of nearly 200 lasers at a pellet of hydrogen fuel inside a diamond capsule the size of a peppercorn, itself inside a gold cylinder. The lasers heat up the cylinder’s outside, creating a series of very fast explosions, generating large amounts of energy collected as heat.

The energy produced in December 2022 was small — it took around 2 megajoules to power the reaction, which released a total of 3.15 megajoules, enough to boil around 10 kettles of water. But it was sufficient to make it a successful ignition and to prove that laser fusion could create energy.

Since then, the scientists have done it several more times. On July 30, the NIF laser delivered a little over 2 megajoules to the target, which resulted in 3.88 megajoules of energy — their highest yield achieved to date, according to the report. Two subsequent experiments in October also delivered net gains.

“These results demonstrated NIF’s ability to consistently produce fusion energy at multi-megajoule levels,” the report said.

There is still a very long way to go, however, until nuclear fusion reaches the scale needed to power electric grids and heating systems. The focus now is on building on the progress made and figuring out how to dramatically scale up fusion projects and significantly bring down costs.

At the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, US climate envoy John Kerry launched an international engagement plan involving more than 30 countries with the aim of boosting nuclear fusion to help tackle the climate crisis.

“There is potential in fusion to revolutionize our world, and to change all of the options that are in front of us, and provide the world with abundant and clean energy without the harmful emissions of traditional energy sources,” Kerry told the climate gathering.

In December, the US Department of Energy announced a $42 million investment in a program bringing together multiple institutions, including LLNL, to establish “hubs” focused on advancing fusion.

“Harnessing fusion energy is one of the greatest scientific and technological challenges of the 21st Century,” said US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm in a statement. “We now have the confidence that it’s not only possible, but probable, that fusion energy can be a reality.”
