2·2 months agoI have already agreed to be thrown into hyperspace, what is your plan?
Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution (1969; ISBN 1-57586-162-3) is a book by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay. Berlin and Kay’s work proposed that the basic color terms in a culture, such as black, brown, or red, are predictable by the number of color terms the culture has.
Berlin and Kay posit seven levels in which cultures fall, with Stage I languages having only the colors black (dark–cool) and white (light–warm). Languages in Stage VII have eight or more basic color terms. This includes English, which has eleven basic color terms. The authors theorize that as languages evolve, they acquire new basic color terms in a strict chronological sequence; if a basic color term is found in a language, then the colors of all earlier stages should also be present. The sequence is as follows:
Stage I: Dark-cool and light-warm (this covers a larger set of colors than just English “black” and “white”.)
Stage II: Red
Stage III: Either green or yellow
Stage IV: Both green and yellow
Stage V: Blue
Stage VI: Brown
Stage VII: Purple, pink, orange, or gray
Those orbs were once clearly visible to the naked eye here on earth on a near daily basis, usually around the Star and Sun, but are they anomalous or a natural phenomenon?
Do you really think so ? 🤔😄😁

Autoimmunity and Cancer—Two Sides of the Same Coin
With the current paper, we also aim to convince the readers that the pathways involved in cancer and autoimmune disease development consist of similar molecular players working in opposite directions. Therefore, a deep understanding of the two sides of immune tolerance is crucial for the proper designing of novel and selective immunotherapies.
Is that not what it says ? 🤔😄
Happy 😁
According to the article,the other little piggies were in bits!

I can not remember very many words containing a Z in their spelling…But seemingly those words spelled with an S are now the alternative!
eg: cognisant …Alternative spelling of cognizant.
I suppose it is down to the manufacturers of this educative literature to provide the meaning, whether these educators be artificial, extraterrestrial , subterranean, intelligent or otherwise…Just ask Google 👽
I hope you have a most excellent day… This is if 24 hours is still called a day? 😁😁
solar system
noun. Any collection of heavenly bodies including a star or binary star, and any lighter stars, brown dwarfs, planets, and other objects in orbit.
The most logical way to remain unidentified I would say.
A goodly percentage of my fellow earthlings carry no ID either, only computer literate juveniles have appropriate identification in this part of the cosmos, and only when they are in search of an alcoholic beverage. The thing is, their identification is guaranteed to be bogus, your average Mr Adam Adamant over here could well be from Jupiter!
It is best to remain unidentifiable here on planet earth, as I suppose is the case in many parts of the universe…
You have a most excellent day now, on whatever planet you inhabit 😄😁
OK…What does unidentified mean on your planet? 🤔😄

Exactly, but this is what gets classed as ‘actual factual news’ these days.
The very same story from another source:
Lead researcher and UTS Ph.D. candidate Michaela B. Smith investigated the impact of the most accurate, new-generation lunar dust simulants on human lung cells in the lab. She compared the effects to those of airborne particulate matter collected from a busy street in Sydney.
The study found that while the sharp, abrasive lunar dust can act as a physical irritant, it did not cause the severe cellular damage or inflammation seen from the urban Earth dust.
The cosmic vibrations oozing from the world wide web of ectoplasm are hinting that perhaps you may just not be overly enthused by the calibre of mystical and mysterious articles of unknown origin being posted to this community …mmmm?
OK…What about a crop circle then?.. Crop circles are relatively harmless, unless you are a stalk of grain that is, would a report on one of these brighten your day?
If so…How’s about two crop circles?
Yip, there have been two new crop circles reported in Wiltshire recently… Are crop circles any better?
If not, there are rumours that an Abominable Big Foot thingy has been sighted around the Midlands, and don’t forget we always have Nessie, come on who doesn’t like to hear a ripping good yarn about The Beastie? 🙄😁
What about werewolves then?
The Daily Star is carrying an article claiming that there is an eight foot tall werewolf lurking in some bushes near Bridlington!
Quote:
The eerie image shows what appears to be an 8ft-tall shadowy figure emerging from a ridge with a strange glow around its head.
It looks like any other common or garden everyday average Joe strolling past a gap in the bushes to me, but hey, who am I to decide what makes a fantastical tale newsworthy? Anyway, what more could you possibly ask for in a news headline?.. Expert opinion, ominous warnings, werewolves and bushes… Boo! 😄😁

It is merely a theory, the only known definite fact is the fact that nobody knows!
My apologies for posting an article containing a misprint, the article in question was lifted from a web scraping news aggregator site.
Unfortunately the actual source paper is paywalled.
But then again, would anybody believe that a sheet of micro dots could absorb between 100 and 200 millilitres of the drug?
The only reason the article was posted is due to the fact that one of the seriously ill guys in our group participated in such a trial and found another psychedelic substance to be beneficial.
Once again my, apologies for such a trivial misdemeanor. I honestly hope that none of you healthy web police require a dosage of between one and two hundred milligrams of LSD at some future date.
