    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[RFK Jr insists he isn't a Republican-funded spoiler and that Joe Biden is the greatest threat Democracy has ever known.

An anti-Vax conspiracy theorist who happens to believe in the undeniable proof of climate change, RFKjr swears he isn't a spoiler. Mr. Kennedy also claims that Joe Biden is weaponizing the Justice system to silence his political opposition. Both of these are messages his Republican backers want you to hear. 
...
RFKjr's top donor is also a large Trump donor: "The heir to the Mellon Bank fortune, Timothy Mellon, was Donald Trump's top donor in 2020. In the 2024 election cycle, he has given more than $35 million combined to both Trump's and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s super PACs." wrote USA Today. ]]></description>

Officials don't know exactly how the outbreak started, but the current hypothesis is almost unbelievable: A heat wave has thawed the frozen soil there and with it, a reindeer carcass infected with anthrax decades ago.

Some scientists think this incident could be an example of what climate change may increasingly surface in the tundra.]]></description>

As for intellect, all I can say is, (e) if women have a pint and man a quart - why can’t she have her little pint full?

You need not be afraid to give us our rights for fear we will take too much, for we cant take more than our pint’ll hold.

The poor men seem to be all in confusion, and dont know what to do.

Why children, if you have woman’s rights, give it to her and you will feel better.

You will have your own rights, and they wont be so much trouble.

I cant read, but I can hear.

I have heard the bible and have learned that Eve caused man to sin.

The new report presents results from a guaranteed basic income pilot program that was run by the city of Austin, Texas in partnership with non-profit organization UpTogether and ten other community-based partners. The program provided $1000 per month for a year to 135 households and ran from September 2022 to August 2023. According to Business Insider, the City of Austin funded 85 families and philanthropic donations funded the remaining 50 households.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[To be a successful creator you don’t need millions. You don’t need millions of dollars or millions of customers, millions of clients or millions of fans. To make a living as a craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor you need only thousands of true fans.

A true fan is defined as a fan that will buy anything you produce. These diehard fans will drive 200 miles to see you sing; they will buy the hardback and paperback and audible versions of your book; they will purchase your next figurine sight unseen; they will pay for the “best-of” DVD version of your free youtube channel; they will come to your chef’s table once a month. If you have roughly a thousand of true fans like this (also known as super fans), you can make a living — if you are content to make a living but not a fortune.]]></description>

The Internal Revenue Service said that the federal gift tax exclusion increased to $18,000 effective at the start of this month. The annual deposit limit for ABLE accounts is tied to that measure, so it will rise as well.
....
ABLE accounts offer people with disabilities the ability to save up to $100,000 without sacrificing eligibility for Social Security and other government benefits. Medicaid can be retained no matter how much is in the accounts.

Funds saved in the special accounts that were established under a 2014 federal law can be used to pay for qualified disability expenses including education, health care, transportation and housing. Interest earned is tax-free.]]></description>

Barbee is an Assistant Professor in the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University and is queer & nonbinary, using they/them pronouns. “Nevertheless, the available data that we have on this topic suggests that rates of regret for gender-affirming surgeries may be lower than those of other surgical procedures. “

The article goes on to compare regret rates for the same procedure, breast removal, between cisgender women and transmasculine people. What they find is illuminating - transmasc people have a miniscule regret rate for mastectomies, whereas cis women have a much higher rate, closer to 13%.]]></description>

Today rates of long COVID have dropped, likely thanks to increased immunity, milder variants and improved treatment. Yet there is still a sharp divide between unvaccinated and vaccinated people. The prevalence of long COVID is currently 11 percent among those who are unvaccinated and 5 percent among those who have had two or more doses of the vaccine. “It is a significant difference for those who are unwilling to take the risk,” he says.]]></description>

If you're interested in sound, nature, travel, or all of these things, this website is for you. It's also a nice way to unwind and hear some calming audio after a long day. If you find a forest sound that you like, you can save or download the audio clip to listen to again.

From Sounds of the Forest:

    "We are collecting the sounds of woodlands and forests from all around the world, creating a growing soundmap bringing together aural tones and textures from the world's woodlands.

    The sounds form an open source library, to be used by anyone to listen to and create from. Selected artists will be responding to the sounds that are gathered, creating music, audio, artwork or something else incredible, to be presented at Timber Festival 2021."

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[HorŠe Tuuxi! = (hor-sheh troo-hee) Welcome to the Official Website of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area. The present-day Muwekma Ohlone Tribe is comprised of all of the known surviving American Indian lineages aboriginal to the San Francisco Bay region who trace their ancestry through the Missions Dolores, Santa Clara, and San Jose; and who were also members of the historic Federally Recognized Verona Band of Alameda County. The aboriginal homeland of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe includes the following counties: San Francisco, San Mateo, most of Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, and portions of Napa, Santa Cruz, Solano and San Joaquin. This large contiguous geographical area, which historically crosscuts aboriginal linguistic and tribal boundaries, fell under the sphere of influence of the aforementioned three missions between 1776 and 1836. The missionization policies deployed by the Catholic Church and militarily supported by the Hispanic Empire, brought many distantly related, and in some cases, already inter-married tribal groups together at the missions.]]></description>

We are happy to present this page for covens, groups and organizations in the locations listed below. This information on these pages is presented as submitted, we do not know many of the groups that are represented here. We encourage you to please use your discretion when meeting strangers, and due diligence in researching the tradition and reputation of the leaders.

 

We suggest you read this BLOG post prior to meeting possible teachers, as well as the DISCLAIMER page.
BEST PRACTICE
​

 
1. When contacting someone on this site, introduce yourself. Don't email someone and say "I want to join." You will likely not get a response.
 
2. When composing your email, tell the Coven/Group leader about your interest in their group and who you are.
​
​3. Don't ask people for spells or other types of workings. That is not the purpose of the site.
​
4. Be patient, not everyone checks their email every day.

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Tattúínárdǿla saga tells of the youth of Anakinn himingangari, beginning with his childhood as a slave in Tattúínárdalr, notably lacking the prolonged racing scene of the MHG version, and referring to the character of “Jarjari inn heimski” only as a local fool slain by Anakinn in a childhood berserker rage (whereas in the MHG version, “Jarjare” is one of “Anacen’s” marshals and his constant companion; Cochrane 2010 suggests that this may be because the MHG text is Frankish in origin, and “Jarjare” was identified with a Frankish culture hero with a similar name). After this killing, for which Anakinn’s owner (and implied father) refuses to pay compensation, Anakinn’s mother, an enslaved Irish princess, foresees a great future for Anakinn as a “jeði” (the exact provenance of this word is unknown but perhaps represents an intentionally humorous Irish mispronunciation of “goði”). This compels Anakinn to recite his first verse:

Þat mælti mín móðir,
at mér skyldi kaupa
fley ok fagrar árar
fara á brott með jeðum,
standa upp í stafni,
stýra dýrum xwingi,
halda svá til hafnar,
hǫggva mann ok annan. 

(“My mother said/ That they should buy me/ A warship and fair oars,/ That I should go abroad with Jedis,/ Stand up in the ship’s stern,/ Steer a magnificent X-Wing,/ Hold my course till the harbor,/ Kill one man after another.”)]]></description>

    <title>Trends in the Distribution of Family Wealth, 1989 to 2019 | Congressional Budget Office</title>
    <dc:date>2023-08-21T15:54:24+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58533#_idTextAnchor033</link>
    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[At a Glance

Building on earlier work by the Congressional Budget Office, this report examines changes in the distribution of family wealth (a family’s assets minus its debts) from 1989 to 2019 and analyzes those changes in relation to several family characteristics—income, level of education, race and ­ethnicity, age, and birth cohort. In addition, the report examines how total family wealth has changed since 2019.

    Total Wealth. The total real wealth (that is, wealth adjusted to remove the effects of inflation) held by families in the United States tripled from 1989 to 2019—from $38 trillion in 2019 dollars (roughly four times the nation’s gross domestic product, or GDP) to $115 trillion (about five times GDP).
    Concentration of Wealth. The growth of real wealth over the past three decades was not uniform: Family wealth increased more in the top half of the distribution than in the bottom half. Families in the top 10 percent and in the top 1 percent of the distribution, in particular, saw their share of total wealth rise over the period. In 2019, families in the top 10 percent of the distribution held 72 percent of total wealth, and families in the top 1 percent of the distribution held more than one-third; families in the bottom half of the distribution held only 2 percent of total wealth.]]></description>

Ad Fontes Media Staff
Date:

08/14/2023

Ad Fontes Media has released its latest flagship Media Bias Chart® just in time for the new school year. Its most recent static chart features 157 news sources, including 12 new never-rated-before websites, 20 podcasts, and 18 news shows and networks. 

We produce an updated flagship version of the Media Bias Chart twice per year, in January and August. Why do we call it the flagship? Ad Fontes Media now rates more than 3,000 news sources for bias and reliability — way too many for one chart. So every six months we unveil a new chart that shows the media landscape with a mix of new sources as well as others we’ve been rating for years. It includes a sample of sources we’ve rated across websites, TV/video, and podcast/audio news/news-like sources. Some sources do change over time, so keep an eye out for those!

If you think the static Media Bias Chart with its 157 sources is great, you’ll LOVE the Interactive Media Bias Chart version, where more than 3,000 fully rated sources, including TV shows, websites, podcasts, and video, can be plotted! In addition to the static and interactive Media Bias Charts, we have many useful products you can use for school, business or personal use.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday cracked down on a massive illegal robocall operation responsible for billions of auto-warranty scam calls in recent years, with regulators imposing a record $300 million fine on what authorities said is the largest such network it has ever investigated.

The globe-spanning illegal operation violated US telecom laws by making more than five billion robocalls to more than half a billion phone numbers over the course of just three months in 2021, the FCC said in a release Wednesday.

But the campaign had been in existence for even longer, the FCC added. Using a multitude of shell companies, aliases and fly-by-night phone providers allegedly under their control, the people behind the network — which CNN has previously reported on — had sought to dupe unwitting consumers into buying shoddy service contracts for their vehicles since 2018.

The ringleaders of the operation, Roy Melvin Cox Jr. and Aaron Michael Jones, were repeat offenders who had already been under judicial orders not to engage in telemarketing. ]]></description>

These differences were concentrated in counties with lower vaccination rates, and primarily noted in voters residing in Ohio.

Meaning  The differences in excess mortality by political party affiliation after COVID-19 vaccines were available to all adults suggest that differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been a factor in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the US.]]></description>

In numerous cultures worldwide, women were just as involved in bringing home the prehistoric bacon as their male counterparts.

Key Takeaways

    Archaeological and ethnographic research disputes the paradigm that only men were hunters, showing women's significant role. One study found that out of 27 grave sites with hunting tools, 11 were women's, prompting a reassessment of archaeological assumptions. Another revealed that women participate in hunting in 79% of modern hunter-gatherer societies. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Probably the best source of data, currently, is Biobot Analytics' COVID-10 wastewater analysis charts. They explain:

    This chart shows the SARS-CoV-2 virus concentration present in samples of wastewater taken from across the United States. The level of virus in wastewater is a leading indicator, meaning it precedes the change in clinical case counts or hospitalizations.

I also learn a lot from the YouTube channel "Data Report," which provides a daily update of any available COVID-19 data, including Biobot's wastewater data, the Walgreens COVID-19 Index, and more.

I also frequently visit the Zero Covid Community on Reddit, where folks share data, articles and research about COVID and Long COVID, and more.

The People's CDC is also a good place for COVID-19 information, via their weekly Covid Weather Reports.

If you're in Canada, some folks in the Zero Covid Community Reddit group have recommended Dr. Tara Moriarty and her COVID-19 Resources Canada website. ]]></description>

(She posts all her data at her website WhoIsMakingNews.com, where it's available for anyone to download.) In the six months since she created her first TikTok video, she has noticed a continuing trend: that very few of the perpetrators who are being arrested for preying on kids are drag queens or trans people, the targets du jour of the right. Instead, Browde found that the individuals who are responsible for the vast majority of reported incidents hail from the very groups pointing the finger at the LGBTQ+ community, from religious leaders to Republican politicians. ]]></description>

Tools_AllTools.png

i-Tree is a state-of-the-art, peer-reviewed software suite from the USDA Forest Service that provides urban and rural forestry analysis and benefits assessment tools. The i-Tree tools can help strengthen forest management and advocacy efforts by quantifying forest structure and the environmental benefits that trees provide.

Since the initial release of the i-Tree Tools in August 2006, thousands of communities, non-profit organizations, consultants, volunteers and students around the world have used i-Tree to report on individual trees, parcels, neighborhoods, cities, and even entire states. By understanding the local ecosystem services that trees provide, i-Tree users can link forest management activities with environmental quality and community livability. Whether your interest is a single tree or an entire forest, i-Tree provides data that you can use to demonstrate value and set priorities for more effective decision-making. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about how i-Tree can make a difference in your community or forest.]]></description>

What are the long-term medical, social, and economic consequences of a disease that not everyone knows exists? Or that some people deny it existed in the first place? "Long COVID often arises in otherwise healthy young people, and it can follow even a mild initial infection. The risk appears at least slightly higher in people who were hospitalized for COVID and in older adults (who end up in the hospital more often). Women and those at socioeconomic disadvantage also face higher risk, as do people who smoke, are obese, or have any of an array of health conditions, particularly autoimmune disease. Vaccination appears to reduce the danger but does not entirely prevent long COVID."

Several recent research studies have concluded that Long-Covid is a neurological disease affecting the brain and the nervous system. Learning from the post-viral effects of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) offers a roadmap on what questions to ask and how to conduct valuable research to find relief for these emerging symptoms in more and more people.

Check out recent data on the number of people who reported having Long-Covid symptoms.]]></description>

This is the story of one woman’s battle against a global network of academic journals that underlie published scientific research. In 2011, Alexandra Elbakyan had just moved home to Kazakhstan after a disappointing few years trying to study neuroscience in the United States when she landed on an internet forum where a bunch of scientists were all looking for the same thing: access to academic journal articles that were behind paywalls. That’s the moment the very simple, but enormously powerful, website called Sci Hub was born. 

The site holds over 88 million articles and serves up about a million downloads to people in practically every country on the globe. We travel to Kazakhstan to meet the mysterious woman behind it all and to find out what it takes to make everything we know about anything available to anyone anywhere, for free.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[More than 40 leading scientists have resigned en masse from the editorial board of a top science journal in protest at what they describe as the “greed” of publishing giant Elsevier.

The entire academic board of the journal Neuroimage, including professors from Oxford University, King’s College London and Cardiff University resigned after Elsevier refused to reduce publication charges.

Academics around the world have applauded what many hope is the start of a rebellion against the huge profit margins in academic publishing, which outstrip those made by Apple, Google and Amazon.
...
Elsevier, a Dutch company that claims to publish 18% of the world’s scientific papers, reported a 10% increase in its revenue to £2.9bn last year. But it’s the profit margins, nearing 40%, according to its 2019 accounts, which anger academics most. The big scientific publishers keep costs low because academics write up their research – typically funded by charities and the public purse – for free. They “peer review” each other’s work to verify it is worth publishing for free, and academic editors collate it for free or for a small stipend. Academics are then often charged thousands of pounds to have their work published in open-access journals, or universities will pay very high subscription charges.]]></description>

Background: The identification of beverages that promote longer-term fluid retention and maintenance of fluid balance is of real clinical and practical benefit in situations in which free access to fluids is limited or when frequent breaks for urination are not desirable. The postingestion diuretic response is likely to be influenced by several beverage characteristics, including the volume ingested, energy density, electrolyte content, and the presence of diuretic agents.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of 13 different commonly consumed drinks on urine output and fluid balance when ingested in a euhydrated state, with a view to establishing a beverage hydration index (BHI), i.e., the volume of urine produced after drinking expressed relative to a standard treatment (still water) for each beverage.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In recent months, a number of tech companies have thrown their resources into ActivityPub and what’s now known as “the Fediverse.” Tumblr is working with ActivityPub, as are Flipboard, Medium, Mozilla, and even Meta. There’s now an official WordPress plug-in for ActivityPub, which will enable the protocol for something like half the internet all at once. Developers are using ActivityPub to build new and different takes on YouTube, Instagram, and much more. ActivityPub is everywhere! ActivityPub!

And, of course, there’s Mastodon, the ActivityPub–powered platform that has become a haven to Twitter Quitters all over the internet. But ask around the tech industry, and there’s a growing set of people who will tell you the future isn’t Mastodon but what it represents: a scaled ActivityPub-based social platform.

So what is ActivityPub? It’s a technology through which social networks can be made interoperable, connecting everything to a single social graph and content-sharing system. It’s an old standard based on even older ideas about a fundamentally different structure for social networking, one that’s much more like email or old-school web chat than any of the platforms we use now. It’s governed by open protocols, not closed platforms. It aims to give control back to users and to make sure that the social web is bigger than any single company. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Quercki</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In 2012, shortly after joining Heron, I attended a meeting at the Ford Foundation, convened by Darren Walker (then a senior executive, but not yet president) and community development bankers from JPMorgan Chase. Ford and JPMorgan were joining forces to go to bat for a Latinx community development financial institution (CDFI) in Los Angeles.

The CDFI had loans to homeowners totaling around $12 million in an L.A. neighborhood and hoped to nearly double its capacity by raising program-related investments (PRIs) of $10 million. The resulting fund would then top out at around $22 million.

Ford and JPMorgan were chipping in $1 million apiece in low-interest, long-term loans and hoped to help the CDFI raise the rest of the $10 million from prospects in the room. Those assembled included representatives of foundations working against poverty and homelessness such as Heron, Kresge, MacArthur, Casey, and Surdna. Such convenings aim to create “scale” by inviting collaboration to take on big challenges.

The CDFI’s neighborhood had been plagued by foreclosures. Muscular financial forces were working against them. The CEO of the CDFI mentioned one in particular: Colony Capital, a large private equity firm. Colony was rapidly acquiring foreclosed properties and either evicting the resident-owners or making them tenants.

To Colony and its investors, acquiring the foreclosed properties was a simple market opportunity. And to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Reserve, the practice was seen as a means to fast-track the acquisition of a large backlog of distressed properties. This would remove these non-performing assets from large banks’ balance sheets so the banks could function again.

But to the people going through foreclosure, the process was crushing. For them and many others, the financial crisis marked the largest stripping of assets from working class and BIPOC communities in US history.

The CEO of the CDFI detailed the damage. After he spoke, both Walker and the JPMorgan banker cohost spoke in support. Every foundation executive in the room wanted to participate. I was no different.]]></description>
