Northeast Greenland is home to the 79° N Glacier—the country's largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming. Warm water from the Atlantic is melting it from below. However, experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute have now determined that the temperature of the water flowing into the glacier cavern declined from 2018 to 2021, even though the ocean has steadily warmed in the region over the past several decades. This could be due to temporarily changed atmospheric circulation patterns.

If you manage to find time to take a look at it at some point, I'd really love to get some feedback on the content from you and anyone else, of course.

For me everything started last year when my cat got sick and western medicine had nothing to offer him. So for the first time in my life I went to a vet that practiced both allopathic and homeopathic medicine. The results were fast and impressive. I was amazed. Then the vet she prescribed a mix of bach remedies that also worked wonders. So I started reading about homeopathy and the flower remedies and thought that it would be much-much cheaper in the long run if I started doing the mixes myself, and started getting veraciously absorbing informative material. I totally I started using them myself. Now, I also make my own tinctures, and more often than not I make more to gift to friends as well.

One thing that I like so far about herbalism (or my understanding of it) is that there are many approaches. This can be quite challenging, especially for newbies like me, but it can also be a motivation to learn more.

 

This presentation was generously provided by the 15th annual International Herb Symposium.

CLASS DESCRIPTION There is an exciting movement afoot in American herbalism. We are resurrecting the Western System of Energetics where the language fits our culture. Working from the six tissue states and teachings of the physiomedicalists, this system is both intuitive and clinically accurate.

To observe patterns of disease we need to observe patterns in nature first to grasp harmonies and disharmonies. Winds that dry, waters that swell, heat that rises, cold that depresses are all vital expressions of nature that play out in our organs, joints, muscles, thoughts and spirit.

This is the practice of traditional folk herbalism where nature is observed and the inherent self-regulating systems of the body are acknowledged and supported.

What about something like house insulation panels?

I suppose they should be good as acoustic panels for sound absorption as well [ex1, ex2]. Even if they are much smaller I am pretty sure they could be cut and used combined as sound insulation tiles, and them being of different width, length and depth could actually be an advantage.

We must face the hard truth in Gaza: Israel has lost its moral authority - The Hill - 07/18/24

I reviewed thousands of incident reports and tens of thousands of individual data points from several dozen credible organizations, as well as the Israeli military itself, as a part of a nonpartisan task force analyzing Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

Our report, submitted to the Biden administration and briefed to Congress, establishes compelling and credible evidence of Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and U.S. military best practices, utilizing U.S.-provided munitions. It shows how the Israeli military has demonstrated a “systematic disregard for fundamental principles of international law, including recurrent attacks launched despite foreseeably disproportionate harm to civilians.”

It's the Zionists who are killing children, and what you say is totally antisemitic.

It seems to me you are missing the point.

This is a political suicide. I cannot say that I am for this approach but what I see is a form of protest (and maybe what I think about it is another topic). What is striking to me is that this US-backed Genocide is taking place for almost a year, and due to despair americans are even killing themselves as a form of protest.

And of course there are other forms of protesting. People try to influence politicians in so many ways so the US stops providing guns and arguments attempting to justify it.

If any of the people who downvoted this post see this comment (or anyone else as well, actually), would you mind letting me know what is problematic in relation to this content? Herbalism is a pretty new journey for me and would like to keep learning. From the little I know, what is said in this talk seems legit, this why I am asking.

Looks like the article was removed. I suppose this is a great reminder why it's important to archive a link before posting it, and share the archived link as well.

I think I understand what you mean, but I see things quite differently.

The problem on this planet is this specific form of capitalism we live under.

Humans are the solution to this systemic problem.

Great you mentioned this, so I just edited the title so the point is clear.

Just finished the first episode and I find it very interesting. Crossposting it to Podcasts.

So you choose to ignore that Israel for almost a year has been committing Genocide towards Palestinians. That this Genocide takes place in OPT (Occupied Palestinian Territories), occupied by Zionists that is, for over 75 years. You choose to ignore that a huge part of this Zionist society is totally supporting the Genocide, and many of them even make fun of it on podcasts and social media while plenty of Israeli support this material.

Instead, you want to shift the topic from Genocide and the support it gets, to Hamas.

Please, don't overestimate the power of Hasbara / Zionist propaganda.
