Quoting: Ricky M The three parts of the Tabernacle and its objects symbolize the three main parts of man and its functions. The Outer Court symbolizes the body, the Holy Place represents the soul and the Holy of Holies symbolizes the spirit. [link to www.researchgate.net (secure)] [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] As king, David commits adultery with Bathsheba, leading him to arrange the death of her husband Uriah the Hittite. Because of this sin, God denies David the opportunity to build the temple, and his son Absalom tries to overthrow him. David flees Jerusalem during Absalom's rebellion, but after Absalom's death he returns to the city to rule Israel. Before his peaceful death, he chooses his son Solomon as successor. Tabernacle tent and temple seems similar to moving hunter gatherer and stationary temple agriculture styles. I wonder if memory of perpetual twilight stationary was in living memory then. |

Shades and shadows welcome. Let there be light! Quoting: Ricky M [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world.

Stuck in their ways and their beliefs and could be 'square' at any age. The ancients knew nature wanted everything a circle and round as it is timeless, flowing. The symbol of square symbolizes loss of senses as it is more sterile environment which is prevalent in society today. The square is symbol for separation. The circle symbol for unity. Quoting: Fancypantz As they say division is a former union, lol  =PWhoops on time rofl.  Thread: Covid19/2021-22 OMICRON/ VIRUS "IHU" FRANCE:P13310/NEWEST VIRUS: "NEOCOV" HIGH INFECTION RATE+1 IN 3 DIE !?! P13315 (Page 31) But they're not all bad. Some viruses can actually kill bacteria, while others can fight against more dangerous viruses. So like protective bacteria (probiotics), we have several protective viruses in our body. Bacteriophages (or "phages") are viruses that infect and destroy specific bacteria. Quoting: Ricky M They're found in the mucus membrane lining in the digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts. This is both a survival tactic by the viruses to last longer within their host, and to get rid of competitive viruses to prevent them from damaging the host. In the future, modified versions of viruses like these could potentially be used to target cancer cells. Pegivirus C or GBV-C is a virus that does not cause clinical symptoms. Multiple studies have shown HIV patients infected with GBV-C live longer in comparison to patients without it. The virus slows disease progression by blocking the host receptors required for viral entry into the cell, and promotes the release of virus-detecting interferons and cytokines (proteins produced by white blood cells that activate inflammation and removal of infected cells or pathogens). Modern technology has enabled us to understand more about the complexities of the microbial communities that are part of the human body. In addition to good bacteria, we now know there are beneficial viruses present in the gut, skin and even blood. [link to www.sciencealert.com (secure)] Diversity is shown in nature to be healthy. Antibacterial made a mess of superbugs Similar to synthetics vs organics in chemicals and what it does to the body and mind and well being. Technologies frontier isn’t pretty. My thoughts: The Chinese have really horrible air pollution and their lungs are already compromised on top of that their population is mostly older people. They keep respiratory illnesses so possibly why many are dying. Alarm over China virus, extreme Arctic warming and a volcano on alert -- The illness was first detected last December among people who had visited a live-animal market in Wuhan. Scientists have identified the pathogen as a coronavirus, from the same family that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The Arctic is warming at more than twice the average rate of the rest of the globe — a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification — and it is losing sea ice at a staggering pace. Ozone-depleting substances, including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), are known to heat the atmosphere more efficiently than carbon dioxide. But most research on these chemicals has focused on their effects on the ozone layer. At 2:30 p.m. local time on 12 January, Taal started ejecting lava and blew out a giant plume of rock fragments. Ash traveled as far north as Quezon City, some 70 kilometres away, forcing tens of thousands of people on Taal’s Volcano Island and in nearby provinces to flee. [link to www.nature.com (secure)] |

Frozen permafrost soil is the perfect place for bacteria to remain alive for very long periods of time, perhaps as long as a million years. That means melting ice could potentially open a Pandora's box of diseases. "Permafrost is a very good preserver of microbes and viruses, because it is cold, there is no oxygen, and it is dark," says evolutionary biologist Jean-Michel Claverie at Aix-Marseille University in France. "Pathogenic viruses that can infect humans or animals might be preserved in old permafrost layers, including some that have caused global epidemics in the past." [link to www.bbc.com] |

On Tuesday, The Guardian reported that an international investigation had concluded that Bezos' phone was most likely hacked via a video link sent in a May 2018 WhatsApp message from an account belonging to the Saudi Crown Prince. Cybersecurity experts hired by Bezos to investigate how details of his affair were leaked to the media also reported similar findings. On Wednesday, the United Nations called for an "immediate investigation by US and other relevant authorities" after it published a report concluding with "medium to high confidence" that bin Salman's WhatsApp account initiated the hack.

Bacteria enter our homes, gyms and workspaces by hitching rides on our skin or blowing in through an open door. Once inside, these invader microbes might help indoor germs in the surrounding dust become resistant to antibiotics, a new study suggests. Antibiotic medications work by disrupting the inner workings of harmful bacteria, by weakening their outer membranes, undermining their ability to replicate DNA or preventing them from building important proteins. Although antibiotics offer an effective remedy for infections like pneumonia, tuberculosis and gonorrhea, over time, germs can evolve to resist the treatment. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a serious threat to public health, and scientists are now trying to invent new solutions to deal with the impervious microbes. This reminds of the wind sun in Inca creation stories of the five suns. |
