The climate has been changing for eons. In Roman times, the UK was much warmer and they grew grapes for wine, that won't grow today. Norse people inhabited Iceland and farmed, but after decades, they weren't able due to climate changes. Everything adapts. Well, maybe not humans, or at least some who think we're doomed. We call that natural selection.

You are 100% correct!!

Close, I can walk maybe 10 feet without a Cane or shopping cart while in stores, even then I have to find a place to sit after 10-15 minutes.

English?

Probably Wood Ticks, Deer Ticks are no larger than the period on a typewriter.

I'm close to that now,

Some Black tribes in Africa are still eating each other. https://www.cnn.com/2015/10/29/africa/south-sudan-african-union-report/index.html Cannibalism has recently been both practiced and fiercely condemned in several wars, especially in Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was still practiced in Papua New Guinea as of 2012, for cultural reasons and in ritual as well as in war in various Melanesian tribes.

I paid 14.9 a gallon in 1964.

Yup, we burn down buildings and torch motor vehicles, also run over folks at Parades.

This optical illusion seems to move and expand. It's actually tricking your brain into dilating your pupils, scientists say. This optical illusion seems to move and expand. It's actually tricking your brain into dilating your pupils, scientists say. Marianne Guenot Wed, June 15, 2022, 7:19 AM This optical illusion was published on May 30, 2022.Laeng B, Nabil S and Kitaoka A (2022) doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2022.877249 Researchers found an optical illusion triggers the pupils to dilate as if light were dimming. It provides clues about how the brain processes images. The image is by Japanese researcher Akiyoshi Kitaoka, who designed the "rotating snakes" illusion. Do you see the dark spot in the image above moving and expanding? It's probably because it tricked your brain into dilating your pupils. Researchers from the University of Oslo in Norway and Ritsumeikan University in Japan developed this optical illusion to test how the brain perceives images in real-time. In a small study of 50 men and women, they found that the pupils of most participants were dilating as they were staring at the image. The findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience on May 30. They add to a growing body of evidence showing how the brain is always trying to contextualize the information it gets from the eyes, The New York Times reported. Pupils usually dilate in a dark environment to help the eye take in more light. But with this illusion, there is "no reason" for the eye to change shape, "because nothing is changing in the world," said Bruno Laeng, an author of the study and psychology professor at the University of Oslo, told The Times. "But something clearly has changed inside the mind." Laeng told The Times that the brain doesn't have a way to assess how much light was around when the eye picked up the image. So it is constantly taking cues from the environment to interpret what it is seeing. One example of this phenomenon was The Dress meme from 2015, which split social media users into two factions: those who saw it as gold and white and those who saw it as black and blue. Scientists think in this case the illusion makes the brain think it is entering a dark hole or tunnel, per the Times. If you can't see the optical illusion at play, you are not alone: seven of the 50 of the study participants could not see it either. The image is the latest in a series of striking optical illusions developed by Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a Japanese professor of psychology and an author on the paper. Kitaoka is notably known for coming up with the "rotating snakes" illusion, colored dots in concentric circles that appear to move around like snakes. A list of his illusion can be seen on his website here.

Health Balancing on one leg may be useful health test in later life, research suggests People who cannot stand on one leg for 10 seconds are found to be almost twice as likely to die within 10 years Balance tends to be well preserved until the sixth decade of life, when it starts to wane relatively rapidly. Photograph: Getty Images Andrew Gregory Health editor @andrewgregory Mon 20 Jun 2022 18.30 EDT If you have difficulty standing on one leg, it could be a sign of something more serious than overdoing it at the office summer drinks party. Middle-aged and elderly people who cannot balance on one leg for 10 seconds are almost twice as likely to die within 10 years than those who can, research suggests. How well a person can balance can offer an insight into their health. Previous research, for instance, indicates that an inability to balance on one leg is linked to a greater risk of stroke. People with poor balance have also been found to perform worse in tests of mental decline, suggesting a link with dementia. Now an international group of experts from the UK, US, Australia, Finland and Brazil have completed a first-of-its-kind, 12-year study examining the relationship between balance and mortality. Although the research was observational and cannot establish cause, its findings were striking. An inability to stand on one leg for 10 seconds in middle to later life is linked to a near doubling in the risk of death from any cause within the next 10 years. The results were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The findings are so stark that the researchers, led by Dr Claudio Gil Araujo of the Clinimex exercise medicine clinic in Rio de Janeiro, suggest a balance test should be included in routine health checks for older people. Unlike aerobic fitness, muscle strength and flexibility, balance tends to be well preserved until the sixth decade of life, when it starts to wane relatively rapidly. However, balance assessment typically is not included in health checks of middle-aged and older people, possibly because there is no standardised test for it. Until now there had been little hard data linking balance to clinical outcomes other than falls. Stability exercises: a runner’s guide Read more A total of 1,702 people aged between 51 and 75 and with stable gait were followed between 2008 and 2020 for the study. At the start, participants were asked to stand on one leg for 10 seconds without any additional support. To standardise the test, participants were asked to place the front of their free foot on the back of the opposite lower leg while keeping their arms by their sides and their gaze fixed straight ahead. Up to three attempts on either foot were allowed. One in five (21%) failed the test. Over the next decade, 123 died of various causes. After accounting for age, sex, and underlying conditions, an inability to stand unsupported on one leg for 10 seconds was associated with an 84% heightened risk of death from any cause. The researchers said the study had limitations, including that the participants were all white Brazilians, which means the findings may not be more widely applicable to other ethnicities and nations. Nevertheless, the researchers concluded that the 10-second balance test “provides rapid and objective feedback for the patient and health professionals regarding static balance” and “adds useful information regarding mortality risk in middle-aged and older men and women”.

I didn't know what Juneteenth was, had to look it up.

Very nice, it will be your child's favorite thing.

" hypocritical trash profession" That's an opinion, doesn't make it a fact.

Others have planted evidence too, not all cops are bad just like there are bad engineers, heavy equipment operators, teachers, the list is never ending..I get this feeling you've had some nasty run-ins with cops so you hate them because of it. One of my Grand Daughters is a cop, my oldest daughter dated the son of a local Police Sargent in the Town where I used to live, several of my neighbors were Cops, I sold my Lake home to a Cops son in 1991, I partied with Cops on the Lake I lived on back then I never once had an issue with Cops.

How would you know that? Someone said something you liked to hear so you go with it?

Juries of your peers determine guilt or not.

What about 100's of Black people shooting other Black people? Or doesn't that matter, ya know BLM.

Even a dummy like you should realize what a failure Biden has been.

He's the worst POTUS of the 21 century.

BLM caused much of it, burning, looting, etc.
