Surprise! BYU found no evidence of racial slurs at volleyball game - All signs point to the BYU-Duke volleyball incident being just another hate crime hoax. Add it to the list with Jussie Smollett's run-in with MAGA hat-wearing, bleach-pouring racists outside a Chicago subway, Bubba Wallace's terrifying encounter with a noose in a NASCAR garage, or a Colorado Rockies fan's injudicious shouting of a racial slur at a black batter. Duke University volleyball player Rachel Richardson claimed after a match against Brigham Young University two weeks ago that a member of the BYU student section was repeatedly calling her the N-word while she was serving. The only problem? There's no evidence of that at all. Establishment media propagated another racism hoax- Brigham Young University has found no evidence that a racial slur was yelled at Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson, meaning establishment media once again jumped on a racial hoax without waiting for evidence. BYU interviewed 50 eyewitnesses and reviewed “security and raw footage from all camera angles taken by BYUtv of the match.” The university had put four ushers, a police officer, and a Duke assistant athletic director in the student section after Duke’s coach relayed Richardson’s accusation of a slur being used. Richardson said the slurs were louder in the fourth set of the match, yet none of the people placed in the student section heard them, nor did the students or Duke’s players aside from Richardson. Of course, Richardson didn’t hear them either — because they were never said. This has become completely clear. The fan Richardson singled out as having used the slurs was shown on video not to have said them, and BYU has now lifted the ban it initially placed on him. Not one person in the sold-out school-record crowd of 5,507 could vouch for Richardson’s claims: not the fans, not security, not her own teammates. It didn’t matter to establishment media, which treated this as true from the moment the accusation was made. CNN, ESPN, NPR, ABC, NBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post all reported the nonexistent slurs as fact without bothering to look into the accusation and find out if it was true. (We used to call that “journalism.”) Jemele Hill, the Atlantic’s go-to race-baiter, predictably pushed the false claim. USA Today’s Mike Freeman, the less successful version of Hill, went even further. After police determined that no slur was said after reviewing the video, Freeman declared that anyone who doubted Richardson’s claim was a conspiracy theorist. And South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley continued the despicable trend of turning women’s basketball into a progressive political tool, canceling games with BYU over slurs that were never used. Nothing will be learned from this, just as nothing was learned over Jussie Smollett’s hate crime hoax or Bubba Wallace’s noose hoax or the Colorado Rockies slur hoax. Establishment media are desperate for anything that perpetuates their narrative of racism running rampant in America, even if that means taking fake stories and presenting them as true, regardless of silly things like “facts” or “evidence.” None of the journalists or pundits who pushed this hoax should be employed, but they will face no consequences for this. This is what their outlets incentivize them to do. The media demand for racism dwarves the supply, and so these media figures and their outlets will dutifully jump on the next racial hoax with all the enthusiasm they did for this one. #fakenews #bias #hoax

Meet the Morgans, L.A.'s castle-dwelling, high-flying, coolest, quirkiest family. Husband and wife team Gary and Suzy Morgan, their raven-haired daughter Molly and her redhead sister Bonnie along with son-in-law Aaron Jacobs gave us access to their home nestled high in the Hollywood Hills. Here's a behind-the-scenes look. Every year the Flying Morgans send out invitations to 500 of their very closest friends to join them at an epic New Year's Eve blowout. There they will get to watch the amazing Gary Morgan's NYE ball drop at midnight, dance to DJ Dr. Nate, drink Red Bull and Wheatley vodka and toast the New Year with plenty of Wycliffe Champagne. A highlight for us, most definitely, were the delicious ice cream rolls (infused or sober) by Chillbachi. #party #event #LA

Lightweight Charred Oak Keg Aromatherapy For Throat and Lungs Antiseptic Treatment. Edgar Cayce Product- The Charred Oak Keg is an American folk aromatherapy that was mentioned in the Cayce Health Care Philosophy for supporting healthy lung and respiratory function. Simply fill the keg halfway with Laird's Apple Brandy (86-100 proof), approximately 1/2 gallon. Breathe in the fumes with the breathing tube. Instructions for preparation of the Oak Keg and one breathing tube are included. Order additional tubes below. This wood keg is made of a lighter weight Oak and is easy to lift. Its interior has been charred. The charcoal from the inside surface absorbs impurities from the Apple Brandy that is added to the keg after it has been soaked. Instructions for preparing the Oak Keg are included. Important: The Oak Keg must be soaked prior to use (preferably in distilled water.) Do not allow the keg to go longer than 6 months without re-soaking. If the oak keg dries out for longer than 6 months, it may not reseal. Edgar Cayce Quotes: "First we would give that the body begin inhaling the fumes from pure apple brandy in a charred oak keg. Put half a gallon of pure apple brandy in at least a gallon or a gallon and a half of charred keg... At least two or three times a day inhale these fumes into the lungs, blowing out through the nostrils when it is practical. Keep the keg in a warm place so that evaporation may occur easily... Do this and it will change those activities in the lungs that once in a while do break through. Use these fumes regularly." Edgar Cayce "The activity on this is not only for the destruction of live tubercule tissue, but it acts as an antiseptic for all irritated areas; also giving activity to cellular force of the corpuscle itself. It acts as a stimuli to the circulation, then, recharging each cell as it passes through areas so affected by the radiation of the gases from this fluid itself." Edgar Cayce "For the properties inhaled will work with the activity of the respiratory system, as well as the properties contained therein will act upon the influences of the liver and kidneys in their ability to be purified - in the assimilating of these forces that arise from the infusion of these influences indicated." Edgar Cayce "This will act not only as an antiseptic, but will so change the lung tissue as to bring about healing of the tissues, and will also increase the abilities of assimilation, and we will have improvements." Cayce "These [inhalations] will irritate at first, but use through the nostril for the stopping of cough, as well as inhaling into the lungs." Edgar Cayce "Do not attempt to inhale too much in the beginning, or it will be inclined to produce too much intoxication for the body." Edgar Cayce "Keep the keg. This is as life itself."

Masada is a rugged natural fortress, of majestic beauty, in the Judean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea. It is a symbol of the ancient kingdom of Israel, its violent destruction and the last stand of Jewish patriots in the face of the Roman army, in 73 A.D. It was built as a palace complex, in the classic style of the early Roman Empire, by Herod the Great, King of Judea, (reigned 37 – 4 B.C.). The camps, fortifications and attack ramp that encircle the monument constitute the most complete Roman siege works surviving to the present day. After Judea became a province of the Roman Empire, it was the refuge of the last survivors of the Jewish revolt, who chose death rather than slavery when the Roman besiegers broke through their defenses. As such it has an emblematic value for the Jewish people. It is also an archaeological site of great significance. The remains of Herod's palaces are outstanding and very intact examples of this type of architecture, whilst the untouched siegeworks are the finest and most complete anywhere in the Roman world. The Masada complex, built by Herod the Great, King of Judea, who reigned between 37 BCE and 4 CE, and particularly the "hanging" palace with its three terraces, is an outstanding example of opulent architectural design, elaborately engineered and constructed in extreme conditions. The palace on the northern face of the dramatic mountain site consists of an exceptional group of classical Roman Imperial buildings. The water system was particularly sophisticated, collecting run-off water from a single day's rain to sustain life for a thousand people over a period of two to three years. This achievement allowed the transformation of a barren, isolated, arid hilltop into a lavish royal retreat. When this natural defensive site, further strengthened by massive walls, was occupied by survivors of the Jewish Revolt against Roman rule, it was successfully besieged by a massive Roman army. The military camps, siegeworks and an attack ramp that encircle the site, and a network of legionary fortresses of quadrilateral plan, are the most complete anywhere in the Roman world. Masada is a poignant symbol of the continuing human struggle between oppression and liberty.

Various Places, Jerusalem Museum, and Temple Mount...Using Airbnb The Temple Mount (Hebrew: הַר הַבַּיִת, Har HaBáyit, "Mount of the House [of God, i.e. the Temple]"), known to Muslims as the Haram esh-Sharif (Arabic: الحرم الشريف, al-Ḥaram al-Šarīf, "the Noble Sanctuary", or الحرم القدسي الشريف, al-Ḥaram al-Qudsī al-Šarīf, "the Noble Sanctuary of Jerusalem"), a hill located in the Old City of Jerusalem, is one of the most important religious sites in the world. It has been venerated as a holy site for thousands of years by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The present site is dominated by three monumental structures from the early Umayyad period: the al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock and the Dome of the Chain, as well as four minarets. Herodian walls and gates with additions dating back to the late Byzantine and early Islamic periods cut through the flanks of the Mount. Currently it can be reached through eleven gates, ten reserved for Muslims and one for non-Muslims, with guard posts of Israeli police in the vicinity of each. The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, which regards it as the place where God's divine presence is manifested more than in any other place. According to the rabbinic sages whose debates produced the Talmud, it was from here the world expanded into its present form and where God gathered the dust used to create the first human, Adam. Since at least the first century CE, the site has been associated in Judaism with Mount Moriah (Hebrew: הַר הַמוריה, Har HaMōriyā); Mount Moriah is the name given by the Hebrew Bible to the location of Abraham's binding of Isaac, this identification being perpetuated by Jewish and Christian tradition. Several passages in the Hebrew Bible indicate that during the time when they were written, the Temple Mount was identified as Mount Zion. The Mount Zion mentioned in the later parts of the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 60:14), in the Book of Psalms, and the First Book of Maccabees (c. 2nd century BCE) seems to refer to the top of the hill, generally known as the Temple Mount. According to the Book of Samuel, Mount Zion was the site of the Jebusite fortress called the "stronghold of Zion", but once the First Temple was erected, according to the Bible, at the top of the Eastern Hill ("Temple Mount"), the name "Mount Zion" migrated there too. The name later migrated for a last time, this time to Jerusalem's Western Hill. According to the Bible, both Jewish Temples stood at the Temple Mount, though there is no proof for the First Temple. However, the identification of Solomon's Temple with the area of the Temple Mount is widespread. According to the Bible the site should function as the center of all national life—a governmental, judicial and religious center. During the Second Temple period it functioned also as an economic center. According to Jewish tradition and scripture, the First Temple was built by King Solomon the son of King David in 957 BCE and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The second was constructed under the auspices of Zerubbabel in 516 BCE and destroyed by the Roman Empire in 70 CE. In the 2nd century, the site was used for a temple to Jupiter Capitolinus. It was redeveloped following the Arab conquest. Jewish tradition maintains it is here a Third and final Temple will also be built. The location is the holiest site in Judaism and is the place Jews turn towards during prayer. Due to its extreme sanctity, many Jews will not walk on the Mount itself, to avoid unintentionally entering the area where the Holy of Holies stood, since according to Rabbinical law, some aspect of the divine presence is still present at the site. It was from the Holy of Holies that the High Priest communicated directly with God.

The Siloam Tunnel (Hebrew: נִקְבַּת השילוח‎‎, Nikbat HaShiloah), also known as Hezekiah's Tunnel, is a water tunnel that was dug underneath the City of David in Jerusalem in ancient times. Its popular name is due to the most common hypothesis of its origin, namely that it dates from the reign of Hezekiah of Judah (late 8th and early 7th century BCE) and corresponds to the waterworks mentioned in 2 Kings 20:20 in the Bible. According to the Bible, King Hezekiah prepared Jerusalem for an impending siege by the Assyrians, by "blocking the source of the waters of the upper Gihon, and leading them straight down on the west to the City of David" (2 Chronicles 32). Support for the dating to Hezekiah's period is derived from the Biblical text that describes construction of a tunnel and to radiocarbon dates of organic matter contained in the original plastering.[2] However, the dates were challenged in 2011 by new excavations that suggested an earlier origin in the late 9th or early 8th century BCE. The tunnel leads from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam.[5][6][7] If indeed built under Hezekiah, it dates to a time when Jerusalem was preparing for an impending siege by the Assyrians, led by Sennacherib. Since the Gihon Spring was already protected by a massive tower and was included in the city's defensive wall system, Jerusalem seems to have been supplied with enough water in case of siege even without this tunnel. According to Ahron Horovitz, director of the Megalim Institute, the tunnel can be interpreted as an additional aqueduct designed for keeping the entire outflow of the spring inside the walled area, which included the downstream Pool of Siloam, with the specific purpose of withholding water from any besieging forces. Both the spring itself, and the pool at the end of the tunnel, would have been used by the inhabitants as water sources. Troops positioned outside the walls wouldn't have reached any of it, because even the overflow water released from the Pool of Siloam would have fully disappeared into a karstic system located right outside the southern tip of the city walls. In contrast to that, the previous water system did release all the water not used by the city population into the Kidron Valley to the east, where besieging troops could have taken advantage of it. The curving tunnel is 533 m long, and by using the 30 cm altitude difference between its two ends, which corresponds to a 0.6‰ gradient, the engineers managed to convey the water from the spring to the pool. According to the Siloam inscription, the tunnel was excavated by two teams, one starting at each end of the tunnel and then meeting in the middle. The inscription is partly unreadable at present, and may originally have conveyed more information than this. It is clear from the tunnel itself that several directional errors were made during its construction.[8] Recent scholarship has discredited the idea that the tunnel may have been formed by substantially widening a pre-existing natural karst.[2] How the Israelite engineers have dealt with the difficult feat of making two teams digging from opposite ends meet far underground, is still not fully understood, but some suggest that the two teams were directed from above by sound signals generated by hammering on the solid rock through which the tunnelers were digging. #travel #explore #israel

As Copacabana beach became more and more crowded, so upmarket Ipanema became the retreat for the fashionably alternative carioca youth. Nowhere do the lifeguard towers more strongly define the tribes that grace the sands. Around posto eight, families play in the pools formed at low tide, while between postos eight and nine, the rainbow flags clearly mark the gay-friendly barracas (tents) that hire out everything from deckchairs and parasols to massages. Posto nine became the cool local hotspot in the Eighties before more recently migrating up towards the famous Coqueirão, the big palm tree where today the students and stoners mix with young professionals and preening, bronzed bodies. I always choose a busy barraca, hire a deckchair and parasol (R$10) and settle in. The water quality can vary and muddies after storms but, for the most part, is a remarkably clear and inviting blue for an urban beach. Copacabana beach is one of the most famous on the planet, and the iconic, waved boardwalk design, tiny bikinis and striking landscape make for the classic Rio beach experience. Its middle section, from postos (lifeguard towers) three to six, is where the sand is widest but the waves are at their wildest. Dotted with kiosks every few hundred meters, there is no shortage of places to grab a beer or snack, and the tireless beach hawkers do their bit to keep everyone refreshed, too. The best place to pitch up is towards posto six: here, the waters are calmer so more conducive to swimming, paddleboard schools offer drop-in classes, and the view back along the beach is outstanding. #travel

Museum of Torture, Van Gogh Museum, Red light district, etc. Amsterdam is the Kingdom of Netherlands’ capital, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age. Its Museum District houses works by Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and modern art at the Stedelijk. Cycling is key to the city’s character, and there are 400km of cycle paths. Its status as the capital is mandated by the Constitution of the Netherlands, although it is not the seat of the government, which is The Hague. Amsterdam has a population of 840,486 within the city proper, 1,337,743 in the urban area, and 2,431,000 in the Amsterdam metropolitan area. The city is located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country. The metropolitan area comprises much of the northern part of the Randstad, one of the larger conurbations in Europe, with a population of approximately 7 million. Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin as a dam of the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), a result of its innovative developments in trade. During that time, the city was the leading centre for finance and diamonds. In the 19th and 20th centuries the city expanded, and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group. The city is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands. Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, and seven of the world's 500 largest companies, including Philips and ING, are based in the city. In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked the second best city in which to live by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and 12th globally on quality of living for environment and infrastructure by Mercer.

My friend had me consume some of her placenta 5 days after giving birth. Anything for youtube. My friend had me consume some of her placenta 5 days after giving birth. Anything for youtube. Celebrities like January Jones and the Kardashians are doing it. But is the practice of placentophagy simply a fad, or are there actual health benefits to consuming one’s own placenta? According to one cookbook on the subject, you can mix your raw placenta with yoghurt and fruit in a blender and make a smoothie. Or add it to ground beef in a lasagna recipe. Or make chocolate truffles out of it. Dice it, slice it, sauté it with onions, dehydrate it and grind it up – it seems there’s no wrong way to eat placenta. The practice of placentophagy – the formal name for eating the placenta for health benefits – has been having a moment. What was once an extremely fringe movement has been given a boost by celebrity endorsements from January Jones to the Kardashians. Articles describing personal experiences have popped up everywhere from XOJane to the New York Times. Advocates cite its ability to boost milk production, fight postpartum depression, reduce pain and increase energy in new mothers. "I ate my wife's placenta raw in a smoothie and cooked in a taco" said one adventurous journalist. Businesses offering to dry and encapsulate the placenta for those who are too squeamish to eat it with a side of vegetables have sprung up all over the US, generally charging around $250 for the service. Since the encapsulation process is typically done in the home of the new mother, and is for her own consumption, there is no FDA regulation or other oversight of the practice. There are also no uniform laws around releasing a placenta from the hospital with most states allowing hospitals to set their own individual rules. Eating a human organ might trigger a gag reflex in some, but advocates point to the near ubiquitousness of the practice among mammals. While the exact reasons animals eat their own placentas is not known, scientists speculate one major reason may be to avoid having a bloody enticement to predators next to the new mother and baby. Unlike the modern practice of eating a placenta in dehydrated pill form over a length of time or cooking it for later consumption, animals eat their placentas raw and immediately after giving birth. Animals may have been doing it before it was cool, but for humans the practice is relatively recent. Daniel Benyshek, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Nevada Las Vegas is one of a few researchers who is studying the practice. He says the first published references to the practice of maternal placentophagy are tied to the home birth and natural birth movement in the US during the 60s. “It is really only in the last ten years that it has become a well-known – if rare – practice,” he says. The recent popularity of placentophagy may be due in part to greater awareness of it from the media. It may also be finding converts because alternative treatments are becoming more popular as people seek out healthier lifestyles, says Crystal Clark, associate professor in psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. A number of doulas and midwives advocate the practice, which may be another factor driving its popularity. Clark, a psychiatrist, also points out that there remains a stigma around mental health, and with an estimated one out of every seven women experiencing postpartum depression, an alternative to traditional mental health treatments can be appealing. Because of its relative newness, placentophagy is only now coming to the attention of scientists. Clark and colleagues published a literature review of the practice in the Archives of Women’s Mental Health in June 2015. They found that research into the practice has so far been very sparse, with no placebo-controlled studies in humans to show if consuming a placenta really does have the benefits claimed. Benyshek and his team just completed a pilot study with a placebo that they hope to publish later this year. With research still in its infancy, it is hard to get an estimate of how many women actually consume their own placentas for the purported benefits. Anecdotally, Clark has heard that the practice is well established in certain areas of the US like San Francisco and Denver. While it is hard to pinpoint the typical demographic, from his survey research, Benyshek has found that most are “women in their late twenties, Caucasian, with at least some college education and with a middle to upper-middle class family income”. However, he cautions that his research may not be representative of all women who practice placentophagy. The practice may be more common amongst mothers who chose a homebirth, says Benyshek, though mothers giving birth in hospitals also practice it.

https://www.instagram.com/dhruvaaliman/ - I didn't touch this dog, I didn't play with this dog, I never saw this dog. I was just walking down the street, minding my own business like everybody else. And that was the 2nd time I got bit by a dog in Pattaya! I love the dogs, I buy them food from 7/11, but you just can't allow a psycho dog to bite people for no reason. When you get a dog bite in Pattaya don't bother telling the police, they won't do anything. You have to go straight to City Hall and write out a complaint and demand to speak to the head of public safety. Make sure you got video. And go get your vaccine and serum shots because as the Hospital nurse told me "Rabies has 100% mortality"...I didn't like those odds, so I got the serum. When they start barking, watch your back. The nurse that cleaned my wound at the clinic happens to live on that street. She says she keeps her kids away from that dog because it's crazy. #pattaya #thailand #bite
