New Technology Provides Hope For Millions Of Dogs & Cats Ravaged With Gum Disease
New pet drinking water additive imore effective than brushing in preventing gum disease, tooth loss, and worseBOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Dec. 26, 2024 - PRLog -- According to holistic veterinarian Dr. Babette Gladstein, "Alarmingly, as many as 85% of dogs develop some form of gum disease by the age of two. Despite being the most diagnosed condition in dogs and cats, it often goes untreated until it progresses to an advanced stage."Consequently, periodontal disease remains the most neglected health issue in animals. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to serious consequences, like oral infections, tooth loss, and increased risk of localized cancer. More severe complications may involve kidney, liver, lung, heart diseases, and diabetes."The buildup of dental plaque in pets is the primary factor in the development of periodontal disease. If not effectively removed daily, severe periodontal disease and related tooth loss can occur," Gladstein adds.Noted dental educator, research scientist, and ioTech International Chairman Herb Moskowitz, DDS, states, "There used to be only one option to help reduce plaque—diligently brush pet's teeth daily. However, daily brushing of uncooperative pets is challenging, leading to unsatisfactory results. Brushing less frequently can result in even poorer outcomes."He adds, "Fortunately, a major technological breakthrough, confirmed in recent clinical studies, that adding nutritional amounts of the essential nutrient molecular iodine to your pet's drinking water each day is far more effective in reducing dental plaque than if a veterinarian supervised the brushing of your pet's teeth."The latest patented oral care product from ioTech International, ioVet™ Oral, is the first drinking water additive of its kind for canines and felines. Designed explicitly for periodontal care, it contains molecular iodine (I2), which is more effective at reducing plaque than daily brushing, and provides pets with clinically proven healthier mouths and fresher breath. ioTech International is a leading developer and manufacturer of award-winning oral care products based on patented, breakthrough molecular iodine technology.The effectiveness of molecular iodine (I2) in pet drinking water was assessed in recent clinical trials following Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) guidelines. Dr. Moskowitz states, "Two double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies were conducted using molecular iodine as a drinking water additive to control dental plaque formation and inhibit periodontal disease. The dogs' drinking water was dosed once daily with a nutritional amount of molecular iodine. Twenty-five dogs on controlled diets participated in the 28-day clinical study.Plaque reductions averaging 44% were observed over 28 days in dogs treated with molecular iodine compared to those given a placebo. These results significantly exceed those achieved through daily veterinarian-supervised teeth brushing for dogs.  As a result, the molecular iodine water additive received the VOHC Seal of Acceptance for Plaque Control.Simple to use: Add 1 milliliter (ml) of ioVetTM Oral for each 8 oz. of water to your pet's water dish each morning. Each package provides a syringe to ensure the proper amount is dispensed.Among the benefits of molecular iodine for pets are:- Safe and easy to use- Clinically proven based on VOHC-approved studies- Effectively promotes periodontal health- More effective than daily brushing- Doesn't cause microbial resistance- Non-staining formulation- Cost-effective preventative care- Effective breath freshenerFor more information, visit  www.iotechinternational.com or support@iotechinternational.com.

Electroshock and Antidepressants: Hidden Dangers in Misdiagnosed Holiday Blues
A new study reveals widespread misinformation about electroshock therapy among patients. CCHR says parents are similarly misled about ECT use on teens and children as young as five. Moreover, antidepressants—often a precursor to ECT recommendations—also carry significant risks.LOS ANGELES - Dec. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- A new study reveals that patients feel misinformed about the risks of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), reinforcing the argument that the practice should be banned, according to mental health industry watchdog, Citizens Commission on Human Rights International. Study participants shared accounts of immediate cognitive and memory impairments, as well as long-term effects such as profound loss of abilities, memory, humanity, and personal connections, along with psychological harm and a sense of brain damage. Published in Qualitative Health Research, the study highlights that many patients are denied recognition of their adverse outcomes, which intensifies their struggles.[1]CCHR says that in the U.S., young teens and children under six have undergone ECT. Lacking the ability to consent, parents—often misinformed about its safety and efficacy—agree to the practice. They are likely unaware that no clinical trials have substantiated safety and efficacy.The information leaflets provided to patients regarding ECT have been found to minimize the prevalence or severity of memory loss, researchers found. The study says, "Following ECT, there is a possibility of permanent adverse effects including memory and cognitive impairment" and that "Iatrogenic harm, the infliction of harm through medical interventions, is a known possible outcome of ECT."While the survey of consumers occurred in the United Kingdom, CCHR says that similar patient complaints about ECT have been reported to the group in the U.S. and other countries. Recently, CCHR International supported groups helping a Minnesota man who was threatened with court-ordered ECT when he refused to consent to it. The man had already received 17 courses of involuntary shock and was terrified of undergoing more.In its letter to the psychiatric hospital attempting to force ECT upon the 44-year-old man, CCHR cited numerous United Nations reports that say involuntary, forced electroshock constitutes torture and that U.S. courts have acknowledged ECT's risks to patients, including brain damage, memory loss, and cognitive disability.[2]ECT is often recommended when other treatments have not worked, especially antidepressants. These drugs also have iatrogenic side effects. The UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is currently reviewing safety alerts for 30 antidepressants, after Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Kingston, daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, fatally shot himself due to adverse effects from these drugs.[3] A coroner ruled Mr. Kingston shot himself due to the adverse effect of the medications he had been prescribed, which included the common antidepressant citalopram. According to evidence given at his inquest, Mr. Kingston had complained that another antidepressant was making him anxious. A medical expert at the inquest, Dr David Healy, suggested this was a sign that SSRI antidepressants "did not suit him" and that he should not have been prescribed citalopram following this. "We need a much more explicit statement saying that these drugs can cause people to commit suicide who wouldn't have otherwise," he said.[4]MHRA data shows 71 alerts since 2014 over deaths linked to citalopram and 114 for sertraline.[5]According to JAMA Psychiatry, ECT is recommended after two antidepressants have failed as "first-line" treatments. CCHR says consumers are often misinformed and, therefore, are unaware that treatment side effects can drive them to have suicidal feelings. When these increase, they are further misled into believing it is their mental state "at fault," rather than the adverse mental and physical effects synonymous with both antidepressants and electroshock.During the holiday season, CCHR is committed to raising awareness about individuals experiencing sorrow because of a lost one, loneliness, being away from family, and more. People can become unwitting candidates for having such emotions misdiagnosed as "holiday depression," and put at risk of being prescribed antidepressants. CCHR wants to see different, non-invasive approaches taken to help individuals and strongly urges against agreeing to electroshock therapy, recommending legal support if necessary to prevent it from being forced on any individual.Founded 55 years ago by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz, CCHR has achieved significant milestones in mental health reform. In 1976, it played a pivotal role in securing the first-ever prohibition on electroshocking minors in California. Similarly, in 2014, CCHR helped enact legislation in Western Australia that made administering ECT to minors a criminal offense. The organization was also instrumental in prompting the Food and Drug Administration to hold hearings on the potential suicidal effects of SSRI antidepressants, leading to the FDA issuing warnings of suicidal ideation for individuals under 24.Sources:[1] Emily Shipwright, David Murphy, "Long-Term Adverse Effects After Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT): A Narrative Analysis Exploring People's Experiences, Meaning-Making, and Coping," Qualitative Health Research, 2024, journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10497323241303391[2] "CCHR Supports Minnesota Man's Opposition to Enforced Electroshock Treatment," CCHR International, 4 Dec. 2024, www.cchrint.org/2024/12/04/cchr-supports-opposition-to-enforced-electroshock-treatment/[3] "More than 100 alerts over deaths linked to antidepressants taken by Thomas Kingston," The Independent, 8 Dec. 2024, www.independent.co.uk/news/health/antidepressant-citalopram-thomas-kingston-b2658665.html[4] "More than 100 alerts over deaths linked to antidepressants taken by Thomas Kingston," The Independent, 8 Dec. 2024, www.independent.co.uk/news/health/antidepressant-citalopram-thomas-kingston-b2658665.html[5] "More than 100 alerts over deaths linked to antidepressants taken by Thomas Kingston," The Independent, 8 Dec. 2024, www.independent.co.uk/news/health/antidepressant-citalopram-thomas-kingston-b2658665.html

Historic Contract Negotiations Begin On December 20th With The Newly Formed Faculty Union At Loyola Marymount University In Los Angeles, Ca
LOS ANGELES - Dec. 20, 2024 - PRLog -- On June 11, 2024 the full and part-time non-tenure track faculty (NTTF) from Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts (BCLA), School of Film and Television (SFTV), and College of Communication and Fine Arts (CFA) unionized with an overwhelming and historic YES vote (227 yes, 29 against out of 256 votes) under local Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 721. SEIU starts the first contract negotiations with Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Administration on December 20, 2024. The sole goal of the Bargaining Action Team (BAT) is to elevate and increase the fairness of compensation, benefits, and overall value of the union member's expertise of instruction to the LMU student body attending these schools. For example, SFTV is currently ranked as the #5 film school in the nation (The Hollywood Reporter, August 2024, among the country's top 26 film schools), this is due in part to its part-time NTTF who make up the 61% of the faculty and teach 49% (2019) of the courses, as the NTTF bring professional experience to their students. Elizabeth Quinn, Senior Lecturer of Screenwriting (SFTV) stated, "As home to the top five film school in the country, there is a glaring disconnect between LMU relying so heavily on a large number of Hollywood union members working as NTT Faculty to teach SFTV while resisting our need for an NTTF union."The BAT team comprises NTTF members from the three schools, focusing on the diverse needs of the membership as a whole in contract negotiations. Inspired by our personal stories, NTTF BAT members are fighting for the rights of ALL NTTF union members, many of whom feel unable to individually voice their valuable contributions to the impactful shaping of the LMU students, given the lack of job security. NTTF is seeking that LMU provide compensation which meets the basic needs of their faculty within the high cost of living environment of Los Angeles.  President Timothy Law Snyder, Ph.D. of LMU earned $1,175,991 in compensation for 2022-23 fiscal year and recently received a 30% increase in salary, while even the highest paid full-time NTTF are paid wages that qualify for low income in Los Angeles county. NTTF are not granted cost-of-living increases, which result in a lesser salary now than they received in years prior. "This is an opportunity for LMU to reaffirm its commitment to social justice by ensuring that non-tenure-track faculty, the faculty who teach most of the courses at the university, can afford to live with dignity in Los Angeles." Stated Brian Wisch, Rhetorical Arts Instructor (BCLA).The first bargaining meeting will take place at LMU Westchester campus from 10am to 1pm on December 20, 2024. Interested in following the NTTF union members through updates and notices, follow us on Instagram @LMU_NTTFACULTY.SEIU Mission statement: We are a powerful organization that stands for quality services and wins for our members and the communities where they live and work. https://www.seiu721.org/Loyola Marymount University Mission Statement:"...We benefit from our location in Los Angeles, a dynamic city that brings into sharp focus the issues of our time and provides an ideal context for study, research, creative work, and active engagement.

Vantiva Announces Plan to Sell its Supply Chain Solutions Division to Funds Managed by Variant Equity
The potential sale further enables both Connected Home and Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) to focus on their respective core businessesPARIS - Dec. 19, 2024 - PRLog -- Vantiva (Euronext Paris: VANTI), a global technology leader enabling Network Service Providers to connect consumers worldwide, announces its plans to sell its Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) division to funds managed by private equity firm, Variant Equity, by entering into a Put Option Agreement.After a competitive and impartial selection process, the Board of Directors has chosen Variant Equity as the best partner to support SCS's future and ensure alignment with the company's corporate interests.The transaction is based on an SCS valuation of $40 million, subject to the usual adjustments, including a working capital adjustment at closing.In accordance with IFRS 5, SCS will be classified as discontinued operations in Vantiva's Fiscal Year 2024 accounts. Vantiva will also record a necessary asset impairment, and its valuation process is currently underway.The group's 2024 guidance remains unchanged. However, for ongoing activities, they are as follows: EBITDA exceeding €100 million and a positive free cash flow after financial expenses and taxes and before restructuring and integration costs related to the CommScope Home Networks acquisition."We are very pleased with the prospect of selling SCS to Variant. Given their focus on corporate divestitures and previous industry experience, we believe they are the best-suited partner for moving the business forward," said Tim O'Loughlin, CEO of Vantiva, "I am excited about SCS's future with Variant."Farhaad Wadia, Managing Partner of Variant Equity, also expressed enthusiasm for the prospect of SCS joining Variant as a stand-alone portfolio company, stating, "Over the years, SCS has developed valuable customer relationships, a comprehensive set of capabilities and a robust global infrastructure. We look forward to partnering with the SCS team to unlock continued growth and capitalize on the business that has been built under Vantiva's ownership."Rob Wipper, President of Supply Chain Solutions, added, "We're excited about the prospect of joining the Variant portfolio. As a stand-alone company, SCS can accelerate diversification strategies, including expanding our precision manufacturing and third-party logistics services, while maintaining our focus on the production and distribution of physical media content."The pending sale of SCS demonstrates Vantiva's commitment to innovation and is the next step in implementing a more customer centric strategy.  Whereas earlier acquisitions, such as the January 2024 acquisition of Home Networks, strengthened Vantiva's portfolio of assets and expertise, the pending sale of SCS will now allow Vantiva to concentrate on optimizing those assets and expertise to deliver cutting-edge solutions to customers in the video, broadband, and related technology spaces.The transaction, in which Moelis & Company LLC is serving as exclusive financial advisor to Vantiva, is contingent on Vantiva's exercise of the Put Option to enter into a binding Equity Purchase Agreement, pending the completion of consultation processes with Vantiva's Works Council, along with other typical and customary conditions. Both parties are confident of a positive outcome in the coming weeks.*****Warning: Forward Looking StatementsThis press release contains certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements", including but not limited to statements that are predictions of or indicate future events, trends, plans or objectives, based on certain assumptions or which do not directly relate to historical or current facts.

High-Performance Pall Ring Fillers for Industrial Columns
NANCHANG, China - Dec. 25, 2024 - PRLog -- The Pall Ring is a highly efficient packing material widely used in mass transfer processes involving gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, or gas-gas phases, typically in towers and reactors. As a classic ring-shaped packing, the pall ring is commonly used in columns such as absorption towers, distillation towers, and reaction towers. It offers high specific surface area, excellent gas distribution characteristics, and low pressure drop, significantly improving gas-liquid contact efficiency and reducing energy consumption.Pall Ring packing is made from sheet metal by punching the ring out of the wall, creating two rows of fenestrae with leaf-shaped tongues. Each row contains five tongue-shaped leaves, which are oriented towards the center of the ring, positioned almost at the top. The fenestrae in the upper and lower rows are staggered. The total open area of the ring is approximately 35% of the wall area.Key Features:

TikTok Short Videos and Live Streaming E-Commerce Revolutionize the Shopping Experience
TikTok's innovative live shopping and short video features are reshaping consumer behavior, offering brands new ways to engage, promote exclusive deals, and boost sales in real-time.MANHATTAN, N.Y. - Dec. 26, 2024 - PRLog -- In a rapidly evolving retail landscape, TikTok is changing the way consumers shop through its groundbreaking short video and live streaming e-commerce features. HotDeals, a leading coupon platform, explores how these innovative tools are reshaping purchasing behaviors and boosting engagement for brands. With over 1.5 billion users globally, TikTok is becoming a dominant force in e-commerce, offering unique promotional opportunities that connect brands with their target audiences in new and interactive ways.TikTok's integration of live shopping capabilities and the TikTok Shop allows brands to display products in highly engaging formats. Users can interact with hosts in real-time, asking questions and receiving immediate responses. This interactive environment enhances the shopping experience and promotes impulsive buying, especially when live streamers offer limited-time discounts or exclusive deals during broadcasts.Exclusive Discounts Drive Engagement and SalesTikTok's algorithm favors engaging content, making it easier for both large and small brands to reach a wider audience. Promotions like "buy three, get 50% off" have become increasingly popular, encouraging users to make purchases they might not have considered otherwise. Research indicates that 40% of Gen Z consumers have made purchases directly from livestreams, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach. By offering time-sensitive deals during live events, brands create a sense of urgency that drives sales. For example, during a recent livestream, beauty brand Canvas Beauty generated over $1 million in sales in just six hours by leveraging exclusive offers.A Hub for Brand DiscoveryTikTok has emerged as a crucial platform for brand discovery, especially among younger consumers. Many shoppers report discovering new brands and products through TikTok videos, making it an essential marketing channel for businesses looking to expand their reach. The TikTok Shop ecosystem continues to grow, with over 200,000 sellers and 100,000 creators in the U.S. By offering co-funded shipping incentives and leveraging TikTok's algorithm during promotional events, brands can maximize visibility while reducing costs.Conclusion: The Future of Shopping Is Interactive and EngagingAs TikTok continues to innovate its e-commerce features, brands must adapt their strategies to tap into the platform's full potential. The combination of short videos and live streaming not only enhances the shopping experience but also creates a compelling narrative that resonates with consumers. TikTok is not just changing how people shop; it is revolutionizing the entire retail industry. Brands that embrace these trends will be well-positioned to lead the next wave of e-commerce innovation.

Live Good: A Journey of Courage, Education and Purpose
Live Good is the realization of one individual's inspiring vision to create something meaningful to share with the world.IRVINE, Calif. - Dec. 24, 2024 - PRLog -- Founded on the principles of time, education and a sense of purpose, Live Good aspires to empower individuals through access to transformative learning opportunities."When I finally found the courage to create Live Good, I wanted it to embody the values and principles that I find meaningful," said Jennifer Chi, founder of Live Good. "To me, the most precious resource in life is time. The time you spend can never be reclaimed. If I was going to spend all this time and energy on something, it had to be something I deeply believed in."The second cornerstone of Live Good is education. Drawing from personal experiences, Jennifer emphasizes education as a life-changing force. Books became vital growing up, opening windows to new perspectives and worlds. "My favorite book as a child was Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder," Jennifer shared. "It may have been a simple book about a girl living in the 1800s learning how to cook and do chores to help her family, but now I understand how incredible it was that a little girl living back then even knew how to read and write. She had the foresight to understand that writing about her life on the prairie, however simple it seemed, might be of some importance in the future. And she had the courage to publish her own words."Recognizing the transformative power of education and the impact of mentorship, Live Good prioritizes access to education as a central mission. "My love for reading and curiosity for learning became a lifeline," Jennifer added. "I was blessed with teachers who saw potential in a very quiet and shy little girl. Live Good is my way of giving others the same opportunities that once gave me a little spark inside and a pathway forward."Through innovative programs and partnerships, Live Good aims to make education accessible and foster growth and resilience. It's more than an initiative—it's a testament to the belief that every moment spent on meaningful endeavors can ripple out to create a brighter future for others.Live Good proudly aligns with educational models, such as Capstone Programs in the University of California (UC) school system. These programs serve as a bridge between academic learning and real-world application, embodying the mission of Live Good by fostering life-changing learning experiences.Other educational initiatives focus on collaborating with Women in Information and Computer Sciences within the UC system to create programs that empower women through high-tech training. Additionally, Live Good offers a mentorship program for at-risk youth from schools spanning San Francisco to Southern California to foster college admission and equip students with the skills they need to realize their dreams.For more information about Live Good Inc, and to sign up for their newsletter, visit Live Good Inc.

İstanbul's Towers: Must-See Marvels of the City's Silhouette
İstanbul, the vibrant city bridging two continents, captivates visitors with its mesmerizing views and rich history. Its iconic skyline, shaped by the Bosporus, the Historical Peninsula, and the Golden Horn, is adorned with towers that narrate stories of empires, legends, and modern marvels.DUBAI MEDIA CITY, UAE - Dec. 23, 2024 - PRLog -- Let's delve into four of İstanbul's must-see towers, each a testament to its cultural and architectural heritage.Galata Tower: Timeless Symbol of the SkylineStanding tall since 528 CE, Galata Tower is one of the world's oldest towers and a hallmark of İstanbul. Its brick facade, arched windows, and conical roof add character to the skyline. From its observation deck, visitors can soak in breathtaking views of the city. Legend says Ottoman polymath Hezârfen Çelebi flew from this tower across the Bosporus using makeshift wings. Built by Emperor Justinian and later reconstructed by Genoese settlers, Galata Tower embodies centuries of history. A romantic belief also lingers: climb it with someone, and they might be your destined partner.Maiden's Tower: The Bosporus' Silent ObserverPerched on a tiny islet in the Bosporus, the Maiden's Tower is steeped in legend and history. Dating back to the 5th century BCE, it has served as a customs post, lighthouse, and quarantine site. After its 2023 restoration, it reopened as a museum and monument, offering stunning panoramic views. The tower's legends include a princess's ill-fated refuge from a snake and a symbolic love story between the Maiden's Tower and Galata Tower, separated forever by the strait.Beyazıt Tower: Historic Fire WatchtowerNestled within İstanbul University's campus, Beyazıt Tower was built in 1828 to replace its wooden predecessor, destroyed in a fire. This Ottoman Baroque stone structure once functioned as a fire-watchtower. Today, its lighting system signals weather conditions: red for snow, blue for clear skies, green for rain, and yellow for fog. Close to landmarks like Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar, the tower is an essential stop for history enthusiasts.Çamlıca Tower: Modern Heights of İstanbulThe tallest structure in the city, Çamlıca Tower, sits atop Küçük Çamlıca Hill, offering 360-degree views from its observation deck.

Wisconsin People's Party backs Amazon unionization amid CEO wealth surge
Dec. 21, 2024 - PRLog -- As Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's net worth reaches a whopping $234.5 billion according to Forbes Magazine, the Wisconsin People's Party today called for support of Amazon workers' unionization efforts.Recent investigations have revealed that Amazon warehouse workers, while earning $18 per hour, continue to face workplace conditions that raise serious concerns. Injury rates at Amazon facilities remain nearly double the industry average, while mandatory overtime and aggressive productivity quotas have created an unsustainable work environment for many employees."This is nuts," said John Lemberger, The Vice President of the Wisconsin People's Party. "In one hour, Jeff Bezos gets richer than that same worker for working fifty thousand years. It's incomprehensible - we're not talking about earnings anymore. That's like Louie XIV -level piggishness."The Wisconsin People's Party highlighted Amazon's systematic efforts to prevent worker organizing, including:- Multi-million dollar investments in anti-union consulting- Implementation of worker surveillance systems- Documented cases of retaliatory actions against organizing employees- Aggressive anti-union messaging campaigns"Supporting unionization efforts at Amazon is what normal people do," continued Lemberger. "We need to establish safer working conditions and reasonable productivity expectations."The Wisconsin People's Party is calling for immediate cessation of anti-union activities by Amazon management and recognition of workers' right to organize without retaliation.

New Golden Age Declared For Lovers Of Art History
Scott Lund releases NFT artwork depicting secret ley line in Mona Lisa stretching from Vatican to center of Milky Way galaxyVATICAN CITY, Italy - Dec. 21, 2024 - PRLog -- "The Mona Lisa was never just a work of art; it was a magical talisman created by Leonardo da Vinci to announce the coming of a new Golden Age for the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella," says investigative art historian Scott Lund. "It was never the portrait of a middle-class silk merchant's wife in Florence, as the tired fallacy persists among mainstream academics."As the discoverer of the Mona Lisa Code ®, Lund has presented a striking new NFT artwork entitled the Mona Mandala that reveals what DaVinci had to visualize in his mind to order to compose the incongruous left and right sides of the Mona Lisa landscape. The Mona Lisa actually depicts a ley line extending from the center of the Vatican to the primary cult site of the Roman Childbirth goddess Diana at Lake Nemi, 29.5 km directly southeast. Lund not only rediscovered the line, but found out that it momentarily extended toward the horizon to the center of the Milky Way galaxy on Christmas morning 1500 AD, the most sacred moment of the Vatican's grand jubilee year.The premise for the ley line came from the connection between the Roman gods Janus and Saturn, who co-ruled the first mythological Golden Age in Italy. Janus built his glorious citadel on top of Rome's Janiculum hill, next to the Vatican, and Saturn built his city at the foot of Mt. Cavo, next to Lake Nemi. "The jubilee of 1500 AD needed to exorcise the memory of the notorious Millennium Jubilee of 1,000 AD, in which Pope Sylvester II held a midnight mass announcing that the Apocalypse had arrived," says Lund. "Da Vinci turned Christmas into a new declaration of a Golden Age, heralding the conquering of the newly discovered Western Hemisphere by Ferdinand and Isabella." The Spanish king and queen commissioned DaVinci's great friend Donato Bramante to build the Tempietto chapel atop the Janiculum hill in obvious homage to Janus's golden city. "The Mona Lisa and the Tempietto were sister projects and symbolic reflections of each other," says Lund. "There are multiple incontrovertible facts to prove it!"The Mona Mandala NFT artwork clearly shows the precision and genius behind DaVinci's masterwork. His remarkable knowledge of the stars identified the center of our galaxy, marked by the star Kaus Australis, rising in conjunction with the Sun on Christmas morning 1500 AD. The Mona Lisa figure was envisioned as watching from the location of the Tempietto; her face awash in the first rays of a sunrise that symbolized the beginning of a new Golden Age.http://MonaLisaCode.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Dec. 19, 2024 - PRLog -- Today※, the two "physical" format books (paperback and hardcover) and a single electronic format book (EPUB) for Tuning to the Soil-ed Seed Vibrations For Our Collective Health Edited & Written By Irucka Ajani Embry With Obiora Embry are finally available to purchase from https://www.ecoccs.com/shopeq/. Although each format has a listed publication date of 8 November 2024, all 3 formats were not available on that date. These 3 book formats were meant to debut during the month of December, which is the month that Human Beings around the Earth celebrated World Soil Day [Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN)] on 5 December and Terra Madre Day [Slow Food] on 10 December. It is only fitting since the major topics of this artisanal book are (the health of) Soil and Seeds, which are the foundations of our Earthly food systems. In turn, our food systems have a direct impact on our health, both individually and collectively, as Human Beings.Irucka feels that this book series, this is Book 1, is one of the most important food (growing) book series due to the internal (quotes, questions, and thoughts) and external (online and print resources) content. This book is more important now due to the increased loss of digital knowledge via search engines favoring death agriculture/non-biological agriculture over biological agriculture. Needless to say, this book champions biological agriculture and questions the validity of the paradigms of the death agriculture systems that we have been told will save Us (What problems has genetic engineering actually solved rather than created?).Book Details:
