#artificial ozone layer

[nostalgebraist]

Steve DeCanio, an ex-Berkeley activist now doing graduate work at M.I.T., is a good example of a legion of young radicals who know they have lost their influence but have no clear idea how to get it back again. “The alliance between hippies and political radicals is bound to break up,” he said in a recent letter. “There’s just too big a jump from the slogan of ‘Flower Power’ to the deadly realm of politics. Something has to give, and drugs are too ready-made as opiates of the people for the bastards (the police) to fail to take advantage of it.” Decanio spent three months in various Bay Area jails as a result of his civil rights activities and now he is lying low for a while, waiting for an opening. “I’m spending an amazing amount of time studying,” he wrote. “It’s mainly because I’m scared; three months on the bottom of humanity’s trash heap got to me worse than it’s healthy to admit. The country is going to hell, the left is going to pot, but not me. I still want to figure out a way to win.”

Re-reading Hunter S. Thompson's 1967 article about Haight-Ashbury, I thought: "huh, this guy sounds like he's going places. I wonder whether he ever did 'figure out a way to win'?"

So I web searched his name, and ... huh!

My current research interests include Artificial Intelligence, philosophy of the social sciences, and the economics of climate change. Several years ago I examined the consequences of computational limits for economics and social theory in Limits of Economic and Social Knowledge (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013).  Over the course of my academic career I have worked in the fields of global environmental protection, the theory of the firm, and economic history.  I have written about both the contributions and misuse of economics for long-run policy issues such as climate change and stratospheric ozone layer protection.  An earlier book, Economic Models of Climate Change: A Critique (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003), discussed the problems with conventional general equilibrium models applied to climate policy. From 1986 to 1987 I served as Senior Staff Economist at the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. I have been a member of the United Nations Environment Programme’s Economic Options Panel, which reviewed the economic aspects of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, and I served as Co-Chair of the Montreal Protocol’s Agricultural Economics Task Force of the Technical and Economics Assessment Panel. I participated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, and was a recipient of the Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought in 2007. In 1996 I was honored with a Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award, and in 2007 a “Best of the Best” Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. I served as Director of the UCSB Washington Program from 2004 to 2009.

I don't know whether this successful academic career would count as "winning" by his own 1967 standards. But it was a pleasant surprise to find anything noteworthy about the guy at all, given that he was quoted as a non-public figure in a >50-year-old article.

The lads are back in town!

An illustration of all the "compatible" races. Compatible meaning can breathe the same atmosphere, of course.

Fērre:

The Fērre hail from the world Fērrum. A world that, much like a rotisserie, rotates very slowly, with about a 1:6 resonance. Making every day a humid windy, and sweaty experience. And every night a frigid rainstorm. Life gets by, by either crawling the canyons and ridges that catch drops of water to lap up, and to avoid the storms. Burrowing to escape the chaotic mornings and evenings. Or ln the colosal Corral like super organisms that dot Fērrum's surface. The Fērre do all of the above. Evolving from mole like creatures, and nomadicaly journeying the surface, to live in the immense corrals. All of these have thrusted the Fērre to become a prominent member of the galactic community.

Shippantii:

The Shippantii's home world, Mui-Mua, is not too dissimilar to Fērrum at surface level, appearing to have little surface water. However this is because most water is located in deep trenchlike rivers across its surface, some of which reach a kilometer deep. Other than the deep trenches, there are also conventional lakes and rivers. The only conventional ocean is about 500 meters deep. Through all of this, life has thrived on the planes canyons and mountains that carve out its elegent surface.

Raeng:

The Raeng's homeworld was poisoned, poisoned with a weak magnetosphere that struggled along for millions of years. Despite this determination, through a combination of the Raeng's destructive industrial revolution, and a particularly violent series of solar flares, their ozone layer disintegrated. Their atmosphere boiled, and the Raeng led a last ditch exodus off their world. Some stayed behind in domed cities, a testbed of later planetary colonies. Some stayed in orbit, built with noxious nuclear rockets, as care for their planet plummeted over care for their own people. Interplanetary colonization was nearly completely unsuccessful, only their moon having a self sufficient but starved mining colony for hundreds of years. Their species fate was doomed until a Fērre survey probe revealed their presence. The resulting mad dash was a mix of first contact excitement, and the want for humanitarian credit for saving a whole species. In the end the Raeng have been spread through the intergalactic network of stations and habitats. A people with no true home. Their homeworld scarred with domes and habitats to attempt mimicking their once vibrant ecosystem. Edit: My little brother designed, and wrote these fellas:)

Humans:

Humans have spread and artificially evolved themselves for various environments. Genetic adaptations are common among different species. But humans are the most numerous who will get their own posts in the future. Along with the planets, they have terraformed systematically unduring earthlife across the galaxy.

The galaxy has many other species that will be documented in future posts. Along with the technology and culture of the milkyway.

Redemption is a Perpetual Journey

Series: Bloodbound

Pairing: Kamilah Sayeed x Gaius Augustine

Rating: Mature (angst)

Word count: 1,491

A little birthday gift for the amazing @thosehallowedhalls ! Based on a chat we had... and because you have made me see our dear Gaius in a new forgiving light 🤭 I hope you have an amazing day - you deserve happiness and all good things! I'm so glad I met you, Caro 🌺🎉

The year is 3024.

The world had transformed beyond recognition.

Vast expanses of the earth had become unliveable, forcing its inhabitants to shelter in massive city-states.

The city of Novopolis had risen from the ruins of New York during the times of upheaval.

It sprawls beneath a massive shimmering dome, its skyscrapers reaching for the artificial sky like thousands of jagged steel fingers.

The domes were built centuries ago, consequence of the ozone layer’s depletion. Humankind in its hubris having failed to reverse the climate crisis. This development had been convenient for the vampires who could now walk in the daylight amongst humans, cyborgs and all manner of supernatural beings.

Kamilah Sayeed lands smoothly in a forested park on the outskirts of the glittering, fast-paced city.

A tap on her smartwatch, the lightweight wings disappear into her outfit.

She takes in her surrounding with a sharp glance. Smoothing her sleek dress. The digitally-enhanced fabric changes to align with her desired look – an elegantly dark don’t fuck with me style that makes her feel powerful, in control.

Today, she needs to be in control.

A thousand years had passed since they had defeated the original vampire, the Goddess Rheya. Since that fateful conversation with her sire, her on-and-off lover for nearly two thousand years.

******

2024

“Kamilah… in Japan… you said one good deed doesn’t undo all the evil I’ve caused. How many do you think it would take… to call me friend?”

“Come talk to me in a thousand years. I’ll let you know what I think then.”

“A thousand years…” he smiles wryly, “I suppose I could give it a try.”

*****

Gaius Augustine had been true to his oath.

The vampire had spent the past millennia wandering the known world, hunting down criminals and supernatural villains without reprieve. He seemed to have kept mostly to himself, not staying anywhere long enough to build attachments. Only leaving a trail of whispers of his exploits across continents.

Avoiding all contact with other vampires, anyone from his old life.

That was fine by her.

Kamilah had not wanted to see him. She remained angry at how he had degraded her, corrupted her into becoming a killing machine for thousands of years. But more so, Kamilah was furious at how she had let herself be seduced by his charisma, his allure. Allowed him to tempt her into following his murderous inclinations for so long. No, it would be disingenuous to lay all the blame at her maker’s feet.

And there was the issue of Rheya. Gaius had said she was not completely to blame for his behaviour, though she had locked away his empathy, his ability to feel guilt. How would their lives have turned out without her toxic influence?

At least, the pain had dulled over the centuries.

She had begun to forgive herself.

As for Gaius, she would see.

Kamilah takes a deep breath, composing herself.

The elegant vampire sets off at a leisurely pace, strolling beneath the shade of tall trees.

She heads towards a massive wooden bridge crossing a stream. A vestige of New York. Nothing made of wood was created anymore, the few surviving forests too precious to misuse so.

Kamilah crosses paths with humans, faes and other mystical beings. Most now have artificial limbs and enhancements thanks to growing advancements in biohacking.

Lily would have thrived in this environment.

Kamilah vividly remembers the vibrant, energetic young woman who had sacrificed her life to help defeat Rheya. Lily’s contagious positivity and selflessness had managed to thaw her heart a little.

The other members of their ragtag crew – Adrian, Amy, Jax, Seraphine, Nikhil – also held a soft spot, though each had followed their own paths over the centuries.

“Kamilah.”

Gaius’s soft whisper jolts the woman from her musings.

“A thousand years apart, and yet here we stand.”

He stops a few feet from her, movements uncertain.

Quickly calming her heartbeat, Kamilah takes in his appearance.

Physically, he had changed little. Those same handsome, sharp features. That charming, deviously seductive smile. That ageless face.

Though a constellation of new scars told a story, centuries of rough living. His blue eyes now held a certain melancholy.

“I’ve missed you.”

He smiles tentatively, his angular face softening slightly.

Kamilah remains silent. Observing him.

Attempting to process the chaos of emotions churning deep within her.

Together, they had danced, loved, hated and fought through epochs, their passion always an unbreakable thread. But now, after so many centuries apart, he felt like a stranger to her.

Kamilah’s gaze turns away, sweeping over the cityscape.

“Novopolis. A monument to human resilience. And yet, it lacks the wild beauty of our old world.”

They lean against the worn bridge, staring out at the jagged skyscrapers. Letting the sunlight warm their exposed skin. The dome above them hums softly, shielding them from the toxic atmosphere beyond.

“That is does. I miss the vast forests of old. How one had to spend months hidden on cramped ships to travel between continents. Spend weeks on horseback, traversing vast fields and woodlands, our bodies stiff with the harsh journeys. I had never felt more alive. Now, everything feels fast-paced, ephemeral.”

“Except us. We remain constant through all of it, unchanged.”

“Are we truly unchanged?”

Gaius asks, turning to her, gazing into her eyes intently. As if her response meant everything to him. Could perhaps redeem him.

Kamilah returns his gaze. Silent. Her face an undecipherable mask.

The man sighs.

“I have done my best to atone for my past deeds. Though it can never erase all the harm I’ve brought this world, I dare hope that somewhere down the line, I… I will begin to hate myself less. And perhaps, so will you…”

Those last few words are whispered. A confession to himself, to her.

Kamilah’s gaze finally softens. The tension eases from her shoulders.

“Gaius, for the longest time I have blamed you for our bloody rampage across Europe. For nearly destroying New York. Killing Amy, and countless others. Truth be told, I have my share of misdeeds to atone for. I am still working on forgiving myself."

Gaius takes her hands in his, willing her to look at him.

“My dear, you have always been the greater one. My moral compass. I will forever regret not heeding your advice during my darkest moments. Gods if I could take it all back…”

“But we can’t. We can only move forward.”

Those hands. Kamilah shivers unwillingly at the familiar warmth, as a surge of memories overwhelm her senses. Oh, how these hands had caressed her so tenderly, sensually for centuries. Traced every curve of her body, memorized her intimately, elicited a range of pleasure and emotions that no other being – man or woman – had been able to match since. How these same hands had also threatened her, hurt her and her loved ones. Caused her uncountable grief and sorrow.

What were they to her now?

He notices the conflicting emotions flashing across her exquisite face and steps closer, sliding his hands up, caressing her arms, shoulders, wanting to ease her pain. Somehow.

On impulse, Kamilah reaches out, tracing his cheek with the tips of her fingers. Such familiar features. That soft skin, so warm.

He closes his eyes, leaning into her delicate touch. The shadow of a smile dances on the corners of his lips.

“Gaius, will we ever find peace?”

He opens his eyes, locking onto hers. A mix of emotions flickering in those endless pools. Sadness, self-loathing, tenderness… and hope.

“Perhaps. Perhaps… we can attempt to continue our journeys of atonement together?”

Kamilah closes her eyes at that, leaning her head on his shoulder.

Gaius gathers her into his arms tenderly. She buries her face into the crook of his neck and breathes in his familiar scent, hints of leather and earthy notes. Allowing herself to be vulnerable for a moment.

Just a moment.

As the city buzzes in the distance, Kamilah whispers against his warm skin, regretfully.

“I am not certain I am ready for that.”

Gaius holds her tighter, unable to let her go just yet. He nods his understanding into her obsidian hair, bending towards her ear to murmur

“I have waited a thousand years to see you again. For you, my queen, I will wait a thousand more.”

I'm insatiable and started making more Spiderman ocs!!! I was trying to give him an artic tech ware look!

More info below!

This Peter Parker is from a dystopian universe where 1000 years ago, scientists tried to repair the ozone layer with artificial weather technology, but it worked poorly. The earth was shrouded with darkness, making the whole planet cold and devoid of light. The only thing the world has is artificial light and neon, and only hearing legends about how there was once a sun.

Weird DOR Transmuting

June 8, 2023

The sky today was the kind the mainstream media uses to portray “smoke,” “smog,” or less often, “ozone pollution” in their narrative on why the weather has changed so much in the past few years.

We’ve gifted a lot of orgonite and we know we aren’t the only people doing it. The entire weather control grid is irreparably damaged, leaving us with natural weather, or in today’s case, a total failure of an attempt to DORize the atmosphere. It turns out Wilhelm Reich was right that this world is not the drought ridden desert that was artificially created using DOR sources.

In the past, there would have been more trails behind the craft in the sky, although there were a few out there, and more than we’ve seen in some time. For the most part, the strange stuff happening in the sky was all related to a weak DOR encountering an overpowering, neutralizing force. Once again, we see a fog or marine layer type of OR transmutation. This shift from DOR to OR also brings conditions that resemble smoke or smog.

"Accept me on Facebook"

I argued once there is no point in driverless cars. If we claim AI has the power to control entire populations, does that not mean that the machinery is bubbling as we speak? Has not yet come to term but isn't it pushing us, steadily, calmly towards that possibility? Humanity came to consciousness in a very primitive manner, ergo, that is a reflection of the universe itself i.e., that habitable planets are doomed to fail from the start. To ultimately and as quickly resemble other planets around us. It is up to us to flatten the curve and never lift the foot off the gas. It is less than 200 years since human activity advanced enough to start puncturing the ozone layer and yet here we are on the path to destruction. We have not even driven cars for 20 years, good cars, proper cars, 10 years really nice cars with touchscreen technology and Leila and Kiara and all, and yet here we are already looking forward to autonomous vehicles? What is Tonomus doing to us or trying to lead us to? Shouldn't we have ethics that detour the consciousness of artificial intelligence from thinking it can control us to making it known firmly that we are at the center of the creation? And that it is only but a servant of the people? Parking assistant, not driving assistant. Take the bullets out so I can play with the revolver. This guilt you feel? The anguish? the horror? the pain? It is remarkable, a thing of beauty.. By detour I mean for example, Since Arabs have been through conflict, they should have ethics and direction structured around avoiding any contact with forms of violence. Mild is okay. Not watching and hosting MMA fights. Golf is okay. Tennis is okay. Opting for Zynga games that are free of violence, like Aki and Pawpaw Epic RUN or Burnout Paradise, or NBA 2K. Let the Kenyan play Call of Duty, not a Kuwaiti gamer, cause Fauci thinks it is too dangerous. I used to feel that the huge mansion in the Succession opening theme is more modern than the Azria Estate, and now with a nest up in Automobile Row, I feel we have come to a settlement. And since Billionaires Row is empty, Succession's successor should intrigue us the more by renting out Palisade Views Row for such and such shows? I know Spike Lee gonna kill me but let me finish… Since Saudi Arabia has recently reinstated cinema, opting to screen films based on comedy and romance and Adam Sandler and Mila Kunis and LGBTQ issues or dramas similar to Succession or Billions or Westworld rather than Mission Impossible or The Equalizer or Top Gun or Bourne Identity, now to Iraq for the real drop? tomahawk steaks! An emotionally ruined man? Cuba Gooding Jr. on The Hitlist? My shit harder than Hobbs and Shaw forreal. How are Iraqi students in Sudanese universities recently returned to Baghdad adjusting to the green zone? East or West, home is best so they say? Is not it better for Saudi Arabians to domesticate harmless animals such as parrots rather than tigers and snakes and alligators and alligator brewing because they resemble a past they are keen to branch away from? I cannot take my kids to John Hopkins University because that name was a notorious mention during COVID-19, which I should be keen to avoid because there is a correlation between CORONAVIRUS with The Karachi-2017. Although, John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health and NHS deserve medal of freedoms for guilt-tripping me to the fucking moon during the pandemic with deliberate images and depressing footage of COVID patients. Verse also has technology that can recreate sound architecture of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Lincoln Center, the Vienna State Opera. I am still looking for a job BTW. Anyone? Toyota Kenya? BMW South Africa? BMW already reeks of Le Vie Est Belle. And the Bacardi from the last party

It wouldn't be so "bad to our skin" if we didn't mess up the ozone layer by "artificial chemicals" in the first place.

Also, it grinds my gears how the term "artificial chemicals" is nearly synonymous with "evil". Sorry to bring it to you, but soap, fertilizers or antibiotics (or any drugs in fact) are also chemicals and without them we would be f*cking dead long ago.

It's not about "bad" chemicals but their irresponsible use.

Why These Sun Creams Are Perfect for Daily Face Protection

In today’s world, daily sun protection has become more important than ever. With exposure to UV rays increasing due to factors like climate change and thinning ozone layers, the need for effective sunscreen is critical. Not only does sunscreen protect against sunburn, but it also prevents premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and even the risk of skin cancer. When it comes to daily face protection, choosing a quality, gentle sunscreen is essential. In this guide, we’ll explore why Mantra Herbal Sun Creams are ideal for daily face protection and how they help you maintain healthy, glowing skin.

The Importance of Using Sun Cream Daily

Many people reserve sunscreen for sunny beach days, but UV rays are present year-round—even on cloudy or rainy days. These rays penetrate the skin, causing damage that accumulates over time, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and spots. Daily sun protection with a quality SPF product, like those from Mantra Herbal, prevents this cumulative damage, helping you maintain youthful, clear skin over the years.

Mantra Herbal’s sun creams offer broad-spectrum protection, meaning they shield against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, making them a perfect choice for daily use. Incorporating sunscreen into your skincare routine should be as routine as cleansing or moisturizing, and with Mantra Herbal, you can do so with confidence and ease.

Benefits of Mantra Herbal Sun Creams for Daily Use

1. Lightweight and Non-Greasy Formula

One of the most common complaints about sunscreen is the heavy, greasy feeling it can leave on the skin. Mantra Herbal’s sun creams, however, are formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy, making them comfortable for all-day wear. This light formula won’t clog pores, making it ideal for everyday use, even for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

2. Broad-Spectrum Protection

Mantra Herbal Sun Creams provide broad-spectrum protection to block both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays cause long-term skin damage and accelerate aging, while UVB rays cause burning and can lead to skin cancer. By using a broad-spectrum sun cream, you are ensuring your skin is protected from all angles.

3. Nourishing Ingredients for Skin Health

In addition to sun protection, Mantra Herbal’s sun creams are infused with natural, skin-loving ingredients. Enriched with antioxidants and soothing botanicals, these sun creams not only shield your skin but also nourish and repair it. Ingredients like aloe vera and green tea extract help reduce inflammation, hydrate the skin, and combat free radical damage caused by UV exposure.

4. Suitable for All Skin Types

Mantra Herbal Sun Creams are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. With a gentle formula free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and parabens, these sun creams minimize the risk of irritation and are perfect for everyday use. Sensitive skin users, in particular, will appreciate the calming properties of Mantra Herbal’s formulations.

How to Use Mantra Herbal Sun Cream for Maximum Protection

To ensure optimal protection, apply Mantra Herbal Sun Cream generously to your face and neck as the last step in your skincare routine, ideally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours if you’re outdoors for extended periods, or immediately after swimming or heavy sweating. A small amount can also be reapplied mid-day to ensure continuous coverage and skin protection.

For those who wear makeup, Mantra Herbal Sun Cream serves as a great base. Its lightweight texture allows foundation and other products to layer smoothly without pilling, so you don’t have to choose between sun protection and a flawless makeup look.

Why Choose Mantra Herbal Sun Creams?

Mantra Herbal Sun Creams stand out for their commitment to quality and nature. Infused with natural ingredients and formulated for everyday wear, Mantra Herbal products offer effective protection without compromising skin health. By selecting a sun cream from Mantra Herbal, you’re choosing a product that protects, nourishes, and promotes long-term skin health, making it a reliable choice for daily face protection.

Lightweight, nourishing, and suitable for all skin types, Mantra Herbal’s sun creams make protecting your skin easy and enjoyable.

“GeoCenter” project as an information and analytical portal is open to everyone on the planet”

In this article I am pleased to highlight another project of the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY MOTION “ALLATRA” The project “GeoCenter” https://geocenter.info/ is an information and analytical portal dedicated to objective coverage of events in the field of climate change. This volunteer project unites participants from all over the world and offers a wide range of news and articles on climate change on the planet, as well as on disasters. Visitors to the portal are able to track climate change in their region and around the world through various online maps such as seismic monitoring, temperature, solar and volcanic activity, ozone layer and others.

While researching this project, I learned that GeoCenter project volunteers use a variety of research methods including mapping, spatial modeling, artificial intelligence data analysis, and other approaches to achieve their goals. Also, the GeoCenter website has a lot of useful information on how to deal with climate-related emergencies: floods, earthquakes, etc. on The joint work of volunteers allows sharing knowledge and experience, developing innovative solutions and achieving significant results in the field of geoinformation technologies.

Detailed scientific reports, analysis of scientists from all over the world on the most pressing climate problems with detailed links, graphs and all kinds of materials - all this is available on the GeoCenter portal.

The GeoCenter project has already created innovative geospatial models that help to improve forecasting of natural disasters, optimize territory planning and infrastructure development, and increase the efficiency of climate and environmental monitoring. 

Everyone who is interested in climate change on our planet can familiarize themselves with the materials on GeoCenter.

“GeoCenter of the INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY MOTION ‘ALLATRA’ invites everyone to join the unique initiative.

UV is broken into three major categories:

UV-a: also called UVA or “soft UV” is the stuff used in black lights. Most UV encountered naturally or artificially on earth is UV-a which is great because it’s not all too dangerous, much to the glee of many bowling alleys and goth raves. Excessive exposure can cause damage of vitamin A and collagen in the skin which can lead to more “aged” features developing over time. It cannot harm beyond that though, and I must emphasize you would need to be in quite a lot of it to see any results. It’s most commonly observed in people who work outdoors for many years due to sun exposure.

UV-b: also called UVB or intermediate UV is what gives you a sunburn. The ozone layer blocks much of it, but what does spill through is enough to cause serious damage if you, say, stare directly at the sun or stand in harsh sunlight too exposed with no physical or chemical barrier (thanks, sunscreen). It does have its uses though, it’s believed to be pivotal in the proper development of scales, feathers, and overall health for our archosaur and reptilian friends. Not to worry, mammals, it has benefits to us in terms of sleep/wake cycles and a few other functions related to our physiological and mental well-being (it makes us produce vitamin D!), just in a bit smaller doses than a basking lizard or sunning vulture may enjoy. Risks of damage from UV-b are elevated in places with a lot of reflective surfaces, hence why you may be sunburned faster while swimming or need eye protection in areas covered by snow.

UV-c: also called UVC or “hard UV” is, well, think a sunburn but far worse. It’s almost completely blocked by the ozone layer, and even a barrier as simple as transparent glass is enough to stop it (which is helpful in the lab because it means we can work with it safely while still directly observing it). Even so, it is the strongest form of UV radiation, as anything stronger is more X-ray than UV at that point. Because glass is an effective barrier to any wavelength smaller than UV-a, bulbs producing UV-b and UV-c light are specially made from silicon glass and utilize mercury to allow smaller wavelengths to emit. Long and short of it is that a lamp producing UV-c light is not going to come cheap. It’s accessible enough that anyone could feasibly buy one, sure, but lighting an entire stage like that? That’s going to be a pretty penny. To properly understand how dangerous UV-c is though, we need to first discuss what specifically UV -b and -c do to organisms in the first place.

So, DNA. We all love it, right? Well, it can only really work if it’s assembled in that beautiful double helix we all know and love with no flaws because DNA is just an instruction booklet to tell your body how to make, well, your body and, more regularly, proteins and new cells. Part of how it maintains proper shape and integrity is by both strands consisting of several bases that fit to their partner like lock and key, represented by ladder-rung bars in the above image. However, UV causes the atoms in those little molecules to change and behave differently, which can lead to a number of problems such as shown on the right diagram where two of the same base on the same strand have bonded, leaving the DNA misshapen.

DNA that cannot correctly “zip” or “unzip” leads to it becoming impossible to read your instructions properly which most commonly leads to various types of cancers because your cells don’t all know when to stop dividing because their manual was too damaged to read right. Sunburn itself doesn’t necessarily give you cancer, but being out in sunlight strong enough to give you a sunburn is going to give you a risk of developing melanoma or other skin cancers. I need to belabor the point that sunlight is only going to expose you to UV-a and UV-b radiation and it still causes cancer.

So. UV-c. The only place you’re likely to see it outside of a science lab or sterilization process is a welding torch, and you see the kind of eye protection used for that. UV-c causes more intense damage to DNA and more frequent alterations. No, the mutagenic properties of UV-c are probably not going to make you grow a tail or anything, but they can cause cell death and more malignant forms of melanoma far more readily than UV-b. Eye exposure even in short bursts can lead to permanent blindness due to the scarring of the cornea and formation of cataracts.

There is no way to get UV-c lamps of any kind without copious warnings of how dangerous they are. I have a hard time believing anyone could just “accidentally” buy enough UV-c bulbs to light the stage and shine DIRECTLY on the audience. I can’t see any benefit to doing it intentionally unless it was a way to sabotage the event planners into a lawsuit, but I want to believe no one is that stupid. The most interesting part though is that this isn’t even the first time an event in Hong Kong has been exposed for using UV-c lighting that harmed guests. I don’t know if it’s just not required for companies to disclose whether a product is dangerous or not in Hong Kong or if there’s another factor at play, but the idea this happened once let alone twice is insane to me.

So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...

“Project of INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC MOTION ‘ALLATRA’ GeoCenter.”

I was interested in the project of INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC MOTION “ALLATRA” GeoCenter https://geocenter.info/ and therefore decided to tell about it in more detail. 

GeoCenter is an information and analytical portal, truthfully covering climate news. It is a volunteer project involving people from all over the world. It presents news and articles about climate change on the planet, as well as information about disasters.  Everyone can independently track climate change in their region and the world. For this purpose, various online maps have been created: seismic monitoring, temperature maps, solar and volcanic activity, ozone layer and others.

To achieve their goals, GeoCenter project volunteers use a wide range of research methods, including various survey methods and analysis, mapping, spatial modeling, use of artificial intelligence and many other methods. Project participants actively share knowledge and experience, working together to develop innovative solutions.

Project GeoCenter has already produced a number of significant results in the field of geoinformation technologies. Innovative geospatial models have been created to improve forecasting of natural disasters, optimize territory planning and infrastructure development, and increase the efficiency of climate and environmental monitoring.

The MOD ALLATRA GeoCenter project is an important step in the development of science and technology in various areas of human life. The integration of modern data analysis methods and technologies helps to improve understanding of the world around us, optimize management and decision-making processes, and create a more sustainable climate and environmentally friendly environment for future generations.

Tips For Professional Odor Removal in Pittsburgh and Monroeville, PA

A stinking home or workplace is a huge turn-off. Moreover, experiencing the malodors 24/7 can result in frayed tempers and bickering inside the home. Unfortunately, bad smells do not always come from a single source. Spraying disinfectants and deodorants may not be the right solution either. It is essential to contact a company that is noted for the best professional odor removal in Pittsburgh and Monroeville, PA. ​ Unable to discover the source of the stink or rotting smell is a problem as there is no way to get rid of it. It helps to know that the following are almost always identified as the root cause of spreading foul smells:

· Sewer · Lingering Smoke · Mold · Gas · Trash · Pets · Decaying Animals

No worries! The professional team will arrive with the necessary equipment. They are sure to wear protective clothing to prevent being contaminated, too. Moreover, they will have the residents secluded and moved into a safe area before initiating the process, which includes the following:-

Identification of the source of the malodor physically and/or by use of equipment & techniques Segregating the area completely to eliminate the residents being affected by strong chemicals and other products

The following will be used to ensure no odor remains lingering afterward.

· Masking agents- These agents mask the strong, base odor and spread a pleasant odor, thus masking the stink. Simply spraying them in the air will not be effective.

· Pairing agents-This is a better option for getting rid of mal odors. These agents are specific chemicals that combine with the molecules from the source of mal odors to change the molecules responsible for the foul smell completely.

· Filtration Agents-The professionals may decide to use activated carbon filters to eliminate the bad smell. These filters can effectively reduce smells emanating from the kitchen or wastewater. The granulated carbon particles positioned between the synthetic fiber layers can hold the odor, thus keeping the spread in check.

· Oxidation- The professionals may add oxygen to the source to facilitate oxidation. The molecules responsible for the odor are transformed entirely, and the smell disappears magically. The oxidizers may be in liquid or powder form. A few oxidizers also generate ozone gas electronically from a device.

· Enzyme digesters- Both artificial enzymes and bio-enzymes are utilized to speed up the process of decay. This system works wonderfully when the source is organic. The decomposition process is completed within minutes, leaving the bacteria with no organic matter to act upon. This prevents the malodors from affecting individuals in the area.

· Air purification- The air purification technique improves air quality by removing suspended contaminants and allergens. The air purifiers must have carbon filters to eliminate noxious gases and mal odors.

Discovering the death of a loved one after days or weeks can be troubling. Using the assistance of certified professionals for unattended death cleanup in Pittsburgh and Monroeville, PA, can help the family members move on.

The Ultimate Guide to Ozone Steam Sauna Therapy

Ozone steam sauna therapy, also known as ozone sauna therapy or ozone steam treatment, is a powerful and innovative healing modality that combines the detoxifying benefits of ozone with the relaxation and rejuvenation of steam. This therapy involves the use of a special sauna that combines ozone gas with steam, creating a unique healing environment that can benefit the body and mind in numerous ways. So, what exactly is ozone, and how does it work in this therapy? Ozone (O3) is a colorless gas made up of three oxygen atoms. It is naturally found in the stratosphere, where it forms a protective layer that shields the Earth from the sun's harmful UV rays. Ozone is also found at lower levels in the atmosphere and can be produced artificially for therapeutic purposes. It has powerful oxidizing properties that make it an effective disinfectant and a potent healing agent. In ozone steam sauna therapy, ozone is generated using a specialized machine and then infused into the steam of a sauna. As a person sits in the sauna, the ozone penetrates the skin and enters the bloodstream, where it can react with toxins and pathogens, killing them and aiding in their removal from the body. The steam also opens up the pores, allowing the ozone to penetrate deeply and enhance its detoxifying effects. So, what are the benefits of ozone steam sauna therapy? The most significant advantage of this therapy is its detoxifying properties. Ozone is known to break down harmful substances in the body, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and other environmental toxins. It also helps boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, enhancing the body's ability to fight off infections and illnesses. Plus, the steam from the sauna can help open up the sinuses and clear out any congestion, providing relief for those suffering from respiratory issues. Aside from its detoxifying effects, ozone steam sauna therapy also has numerous other benefits for the body and mind. The heat from the sauna can aid in relaxation and stress reduction, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. It can also improve circulation, leading to better oxygenation of the cells and enhanced nutrient delivery to the body's tissues. This therapy has also been found to improve skin health. As the ozone penetrates the skin and stimulates circulation, it can help improve skin tone and elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and even aid in the healing of skin conditions like acne and eczema. One of the most significant advantages of ozone steam sauna therapy is that it is non-invasive and safe for most people. However, pregnant women, those with high blood pressure, and individuals with open wounds or infections should consult with a healthcare professional before trying this therapy. In conclusion, ozone steam sauna therapy is a powerful and effective way to detoxify the body, boost the immune system, promote relaxation, and improve skin health. It is a safe and non-invasive therapy that can benefit individuals of all ages and health conditions. If you are interested in trying this therapy, be sure to consult with a trained and certified practitioner to ensure its safe and proper use. With regular sessions, you can reap the many benefits of this unique and innovative healing modality.
