Round 1B

Erykah Badu’s Baduizm: On and on and on and on, my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone. Baduizm is the groundbreaking debut album by Erykah Badu, released in early 1997 by Kedar and Universal Records. The album a cornerstone of the neo-soul movement, blending elements of R&B, jazz, and hip-hop in an experimentally-retro musical experience, which drew favorable comparisons from the critics of the time to soul music of the 70s. Badu's sound is recognizable for her sultry vocals and introspective or socially conscious lyrics, while the album’s production stands out with warm, rich live instrumentation. Featuring the singles On & On and Next Lifetime, the album not only stood tall as a leading example in the evolution of the soul genre but also established her as a new force in contemporary music, leaving an indelible mark on the world of R&B and soul moving forward. Baduizm debuted at #2 on the US Billboard charts and #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album charts, and is certified triple Platinum in the US; it would also win the Grammy for Best R&B Album under the banner of neo-soul.

EMOUSE: The Vacanti Mouse Emails: In August 1997, scientists Charles and Joseph Vacanti published a paper in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery regarding their research into tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In the journal, they printed a picture of a mouse with what appeared to be a human ear growing out of its back; within months of this publication, every one of your aunts would forward you an email chain containing the “Ear Mouse” photo, proclaiming it to be a horrifying example of genetic modification and decrying the ethics of scientists playing God. (Note: I’ve opted to show you a cuter photo for the bracket.) In actuality, to create the ear-like structure on the mouse's back, researchers implanted a biodegradable scaffold made of a synthetic material seeded with cartilage cells into the mouse. Over time, the cartilage cells grew and formed the ear-shaped structure; no genetic modification was involved. This did not stop the spread of the emails, which often lacked text entirely or misrepresented what was shown, and incensed both animal rights activists and far-right religious groups to the extent that full-page ads were taken out in major news publications like the New York Times expressing outrage. While the photo remains divisive today, the Vacanti Mouse is an iconic image in discussions about the potential of regenerative medicine and the ethical considerations surrounding such research.

Lemon's beasttober day 24: Vacanti Mouse. This is not actually a mythic beast its a real world test to see if theoretically human organs could be synthesized. the experiment was a success but they never reached larger animal trials and got nowhere near clinical trials. good news, they didn't make this guy have the ear on his back forever. they removed it and let him live out his life as a house pet type mouse. i mean sure he was bald and couldn't get a job or a girlfriend, but that probably would have happened anyway..

Eat It! by Jordan Syatt and Michael Vacanti (2022)

           This week I got a brand new book outside of my typical genre. Eat It! by Jordan Syatt and Michael Vacanti is a guide to the foundations of sustainable diet and exercise particularly as it relates to fat loss and body composition.

           I usually don’t care for fitness books—I find the fad diets and “weight loss secrets” off-putting at best and scammy at worst—however, this one caught my eye as it is co-authored by Jordan Syatt. Syatt and Vacanti are probably best known for having been Gary Vaynerchuk’s personal trainers, but I know Syatt best for his YouTube channel. I’m a fan of Syatt’s work for his practical and more day-to-day approach to fitness. Most of his videos are targeted at those trying to lose weight, get stronger, or just aim to live a healthier lifestyle. Those familiar with Syatt’s YouTube will recognize much of the book’s content and key points from his videos such as their formulas for calculating calorie goals, jab deficits, weight loss patterns, etc. What I like about this book is how straight to the point it is and how comprehensive it is for those who don't have their whole lives revolving around fitness. 

           Overall, if you’re looking for a good, practical, and non-intimidating resource on diet and exercise fundamentals—specifically when it comes to weight management and strength training—this is the book for you. Like I said earlier, most of the information and advice can be found on Syatt’s YouTube channel, but it’s nice to have the essentials packaged together in a single book. I think I will definitely be referring back to this one as a good resource as I work on my own fitness goals.

(a far too casual post for my Status Quo account but i had to tell someone)

So I'm one of those people who gives all my characters weird, literal, poetic names that tell you something about them. Phylum, Canopy, Minnow, Mycelia etc

BUT

Elmer Vacanti, a big, sarcastic, too strong for someone with such poor critical thinking, rat scientist is named after two scientists that were fundamental in the history of using rats for experiments. Elmer McCollum and Charles Vacanti are known for creating the first nutritional study using rats in America, and growing a human ear on a rat’s back, respectively. I named him this ages ago and this was my only reasoning. I didn’t look up his name origins at the time.

ANYWAY

It’s important that you know that my book has a class system based on genetics and achedemic test scores. Nobles are the ruling class, then Pillars, Abiders and finally, Defectives- people with genetic conditions and deformities. Elmer was born an abider, thus his family idolises the Nobles and hopes to have a child reach that status one day.

So.

Guess what his name means? (I cant make this up)

Elmer: Noble (British)

Vacanti: Empty Headed (Italian)

COME ON. THATS SO FUCKING FUNNY. ADMIT IT.

Interested? Check out my book, Status Quo! @status-quo-book

These names are from my post-apocalyptic romance book, Status Quo- Coming This Year!

Aumentano i musei senza direzione ma il bando ancora non c'è

Oramai i musei nazionali italiani privi di direzione sono quindici, quindici se già si considera la Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze sito unico assieme ai Musei Nazionali del Bargello che di per sé raccolgono già sotto la loro ala ben cinque musei. Il primo giorno di novembre 2024 la lista si è allungata ulteriormente ma ancora non c’è alcun bando all’orizzonte. Tra gli ultimi posti vacanti…

[massimoognibene]

Buone notizie, un milione...

- Al TG 1 hanno detto che ci sono 1 milione di posti di lavoro vacanti.

- Che ci sono circa 4 milioni di inoccupati e disoccupati si saranno dimenticati...

- Eh già, devono essere posti di lavoro talmente belli, sicuri e ben retribuiti che i senza lavoro si sentono in imbarazzo a far domanda per tanta bellezza e generosità.

- Dev'essere senz'altro così, altrimenti non si spiega.

Re-read Saturday, Actionable Agile Volume II, Week 11, Chapters 11 - 12,  Different Sampling Methods and 85 Percent or Bust

In this installment of our re-read of Actionable Agile Metrics Volume II, Advanced Topics in Predictability we again tackle two chapters. Chapter 11, “Different Sampling Methods”, points out that random sampling techniques are just the tip of the iceberg in approaches. Chapter 12, ”What Percentile Do I Choose?”, discusses whether you always need to quote the 85th percentile range. The short…

I love you vacanti mouse im so sorry about the world

[016s]

um can i get a number 0 and a number 13 and a 21 with a 44?

HI SY you may!!

0: Height

Answered in the last ask :) 6'6"

13: Biggest turn ons

In a more emotional and boring sense I definitely get very attracted to people off their voice alone. I guess everyone does but I feel like I'm definitely drawn to people more by voice than the average person. In the fun sexual sense I used to be very into cnc but that's something I've kind of drifted away from atm. Loooove woundfucking always have always will<3 has been occupying the mind more than usual as of late

21: What I love most about myself

Hard to answer in a not-mentally-ill way. I used to struggle a lot with really intense apathy and cynicism probably from undiagnosed npd or something but I think I have made a big turnaround with just.. having empathy and having more consideration towards myself & others. I don't think it's normally something I'd love so much about myself but it took a lot of internal work to get to that point and it's something I'm always proud of myself for, and I think my relationships w/ others have obviously benefitted from it too.

44: A random fact about anything

In the mid/late 90's there was a hairless mouse with a human ear grown on its back :) He was dubbed the Vacanti mouse. Obviously not very ethical but undeniably interesting to see & look at. Disappointingly, it was technically not a human ear but a bunch of tissue that sort of grew into one - it wasn't an operational ear in the sense he could hear out of it. Still neat to me though. Here he is:

I think about him a lot. Very neat little guy

[chungledown-bimothy]

imagine if vacanti had been right and you can just be really mean to normal cells and they'd become stem cells.

absolutely fucking wild.

Quattro, anzi cinque, posti vacanti nella scuola dove lavoro quest'anno e SICURAMENTE finirò nell'unico in cui proprio non vorrei finire, ne sono arcisicura
