Law .

 

supreme Court Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch is worried about the explosion of laws in America.

In his new book, "Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law," co-written with Janie Nitze, he says that when reflecting on all his years as a judge, he realized "that I had seen many, so many, cases where the sheer volume and complexity of our laws had swallowed up ordinary people."

But "too much law" can put those exact freedoms "at risk and even undermine respect for law itself," says the Supreme Court justice.

The new book, published on August 6 and already a bestseller on Amazon, is a collection of stories of real people who have gotten caught, simply by living their lives and going about their business, in the chaos and confusion of "too much law."

District Judge Tanya Chutkan approved a request Friday from special counsel Jack Smith to delay the next steps in the government’s election interference case against former President Trump.

Smith cited deliberations over how to factor in the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling between the government and Trump’s representation. This comes after Chutkan asked both sides to prepare a joint status report, which was originally due Friday.

“Although those consultations are well underway, the Government has not finalized its position on the most appropriate schedule for the parties to brief issues related to the decision,” the special counsel’s office said. “The Government therefore respectfully requests additional time to provide the Court with an informed proposal regarding the schedule for pretrial proceedings moving forward. The defense does not object to the Government’s request for an extension.”

Clots..

 

Consuming a drink with erythritol — an artificial sweetener used to add bulk to stevia and monk fruit and to sweeten low-carb keto products, more than doubled the risk of blood clotting in 10 healthy people, according to a new pilot study.

Clots can break off blood vessels and travel to the heart, triggering a heart attack, or to the brain, triggering a stroke. Previous research has linked erythritol to a higher risk of stroke, heart attack and death.

What is remarkable is that in every single subject, every measure of platelet responsiveness (clotting) went up following the erythritol ingestion,” said lead study author Dr. Stanley Hazen, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Diagnostics and Prevention at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute.

Consuming a drink with an equal amount of glucose, or sugar, did not affect blood platelet activity in another group of 10 people, said Hazen, who is also the Jan Bleeksma chair in vascular cell biology and atherosclerosis at the Cleveland Clinic.

“This is the first direct head-to-head comparison of the effects of ingesting glucose versus ingesting erythritol on multiple different measures of platelet function,” Hazen said. “Glucose doesn’t impact clotting, but erythritol does.”

Ping Pong Can Help Fight Dementia:

Ping pong can be a real ally in the fight against dementia. 
When you play ping pong; your brain gets a serious exercise too. The fast-paced nature of the game demands quick thinking and sharp reflexes, which helps to improve cognitive functions and enhance mental alertness. This kind of mental engagement is crucial in maintaining brain health and can potentially delay the onset of dementia and other cognitive impairments.

Moreover, the aerobic exercise involved in moving around the table increases blood flow to the brain, which is essential for maintaining healthy brain cells. Plus, the social aspect of ping pong – playing with others, enjoying a shared activity – contributes to emotional well-being, which is another key factor in overall brain health.

In essence, ping pong offers a unique combination of physical activity, mental agility, and social interaction, making it a great activity for keeping your mind sharp and potentially warding off the effects of dementia.

BRICS alliance is attracting new members from all corners who want to join the bloc and ditch the US dollar for trade. 

The alliance is becoming lucrative for developing countries that want to strengthen their local currencies and native economies. 

These nations are eager to break free from the clutches of the US dollar and make either their local currencies, CBDCs, or even Bitcoin the legal tender for cross-border transactions. Just a thought.

We live in an alternative Universe.... An alternative universe is a hypothetical or imaginary world that coexists with our known universe but is very different from it. It is often a variant form of the real world, depicting a different way events could have unfolded or the universe could have functioned. 

 Alternative universes are common settings for works of science fiction, fantasy, and fan fiction.
