Cacti and succulents won’t thrive in bog standard compost.Those in the know at the <a href="http://society.bcss.org.uk/">British Cactus and Succulent Society</a> use a special ingredient in place of the grit or gravel: cat litter. Cat litter has two advantages over grit or gravel<ul><li>It’s lightweight</li><li>unlike grit it is porous</li></ul>This means it can “mop up” excess water from around the roots and release it gradually, as well as ensure there are tiny air pockets in the soil, which is a great combination for cacti and succulents.Two parts compost to two parts litter to one part grit isn’t a bad place to start.

Communication

Where does the expression "Sleep tight" come from?

Einstein argued, nothing will faster than the speed of light in vacuum space (empty air).This makes sense, because when something travels through space unimpeded, it means that something is capable of reaching top speed, since there is no (or less) obstacle.

Einstein Was (Not) Wrong ❓

The problem was, there were those who argued that there were circumstances with speeds beyond the speed of light. And it was finally recognized globally through the Nobel Prize in Physics which confirmed that Einstein was wrong. That there were circumstances faster than the speed of light.

Nobel Prize

From God's point of view it is clear. God's will surely faster than the speed of light.Then, the problem. how to look at this issue from an axiomatic point of view (absolutely) which certainly does not contradict scientifically at any time and also certainly does not conflict with the principle of God's truth.So what is the format of the rebuttal? So that the disclosure (rebuttal) is undeniable.What is the format of the objection and what point of view is involved in affirming the absolutes regarding this issue ❓

Religion

This needs to be emphasized because this (for those who are critical) can be a problem. Atheists or other short minded people can twist this for the sake of the absurd (intentionally absurd)It is possible that developments regarding this issue can be twisted as "the existence of God" or even "the absence of God" which is supported by science. Well once again a complicated punch, like the "big bang" issue is not true. And other issues that are abused

Twisting The Truth

The fundamental question regarding the issue of "is there a speed beyond the speed of light?" is ...Technically speaking, "is there any speed which proceeds without any resistance and greater than the speed of light which is assumed to also proceed unimpeded "So basically... , how much does the absence of any other obstacle exceed the non-impediment of traveling at the speed of light

Beyond the Speed ​​of Light

So what does this have to do with Einstein's phrase "God doesn't play dice"?Einstein thought that if there was a speed exceeding the speed of light, it would be impossible. If the impossibility turns out to be not impossible, then according to Einstein the law becomes uncertain like playing dice.It's like one insistent (Einstein), the other is also adamant. For Einstein, his insistence is a sign of truth, and other rebuttals were considered by Einstein as things that refute the certainty of natural laws, which means that natural laws are uncertain - impossible. That's what Einstein meant.

GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE

<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">But the facts as a result of research showed that what Einstein thought impossible turned out to be not impossible. Is that proof of violating the laws of physics? Which means that the laws of nature are indeterminate?</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Or even if it is considered certain, the law of certainty changes. Dynamic scenarios? </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Or more fundamentally that nothing has changed, everything is certain, only Einstein who misunderstood the reality of the laws of physics?</li></ol>

Mapping Misunderstanding

Axiom🧩 Continuity of the effect is the work of a function that consistently causes one or more effects in a sequence of events, so that if there is no continuity of effect from a function, then the function is a possibility.

Continuity of The Effects

Axiom🧩 The continuity of the cause is the resistance of the function in maintaining its consistency as a function, so that if there is no continuity of effect, then the function exist as long as the continuity of the cause

Continuity Of The Cause

Axiom🧩 A continuity of effects emphasizes changes that show the speed at which the work of a function is completed, so that the more/less the continuity of the effects, the slower/faster the completion of the work of a function.Mapping📍In mapping the speed of light, the speed of light is the continuity of the effects perceived as propagation as far as the range of completion of the work of a function of light.

Mapping The Speed of Light to Axiom

Axiom🧩 A continuity of causes emphasizes changes that show resistance - consistency (age) of a function, so the more / less continuity of causes, the longer / shorter the consistency of a functionMapping📍In mapping the speed of change in quantum entanglement, quantum entanglement is a continuity of causes without any propagation of the effect

Mapping Quantum Entanglement to Axiom

Axiom🧩 Quantum entanglement emphasizes minimal changes between two things in one tap, so that there is no continuity of effects that can be perceived as propagation, but there is only continuity of causes that maintains the consistency of the quantum entanglement function itselfMapping📍Since the speed of light is a continuity of effects, and quantum entanglement is a continuity of causes, the two cannot be compared because of the unequal balance between them.

Inequality Comparison

Axiom🧩 Quantum entanglement emphasizes minimal changes between two things in one tap, so that there is no continuity of effects that can be perceived as propagation, but there is only continuity of causes that maintains the consistency of the quantum entanglement function itself📍This confirms that quantum entanglement does not have the property of propagating, so that quantum entanglement is not a speed that can match the speed of light, but that the two between quantum entanglement and the speed of light are contextual differences.

Then why do the two sides insist that they are the most correct ❓Where is the misunderstanding between the two sides ❓ Or it's not a misunderstanding but a failure to understand in between both ❓

Old Level Of Reasoning

That's because each of them saw it from the point of view of a non-quantum dimension. They were not used to understanding the quantum world, and their reasoning uses classical reasoning, not quantum reasoning, not quantum logic, yetThey thought that the influence between two things that were separated by a great distance, were two things that were mutually exclusive. So Einstein insisted that separation requires propagation that was impossible to exceed the speed of light which was considered (close to) barrier-free, while Einstein's opponents also insisted that this was the case (the fact)

Gap REASONING

Whereas? It is precisely it happened as Einstein emphasized, that as long as the effect of change between two things there was separation then of course it must be through propagation, and if there was a fact that quantum entanglement then it must not violate the principle of propagation. But they all didn't understand the reasoning behind this.

Gap Comparison

The true was that quantum entanglement does not involve propagation, so it was true as Einstein said, "nothing is faster than the speed of light". It's just that this statement hadn''t been converted to quantum logic formatIf this statement "nothing is faster than the speed of light" which was based on classical reasoning outside the quantum dimension, was converted to a quantum dimensional format, Einstein's truth will certainly be clear and can be accepted. This is how to do so .

Propagation Comparison

Classical Reasoning "nothing is faster than the speed of light"Quantum Reasoning "nothing is faster than the speed that propagates without resistance, unless the speed occurs without the process of propagation"

Classical vs Quantum Reasoning

Quantum Reasoning (Detailed): The speed in one tap, simultaneous changing one to another involves at least two things, then the two things were connected to each other, so there was no change or communication through propagationFrom this, it is clear that Einstein's statement "nothing is faster than the speed of light" is true as far as we understand the details of the issue.So Both Einstein's and the opposite, they were all true, only they used a language of reasoning that had not yet reached the quantum level.

Deeper Quantum Reasoning

It is possible that scientists now aware of the discovery of quantum entanglement, still stuck to the old reasoning, that "it has been proven that two things are separated at great distances and can communicate almost instantly". Even though the correct format of the quantum language is "it's proven that we can put two things unseperated at any distance"

Old Style Of Thinking

The key is thinking that quantum entanglement as instant communication over such great distances apart (separated one to another), then this is wrong. Because quantum entanglement does not emphasize separation but the continuity of communication (without pause) between two things.

Instantly No Separation

If quantum entanglement is considered to be the existence of separation between two things that are located at different locations that are far from each other, it can certainly seem to contradict Einstein's statement, even though, axiomatically it is a misunderstanding.

Pushing Old Style of Thinking

Because they were trapped by classical reasoning, and confused because couldn't map events at the level of quantum to their old reasoning, but the facts were proven, then the impression arosed ... "this was a miracle of the universe", "destroys the world of reasoning" ... "beyond reason" blah blah blah. Whereas classical true reasoning won't collapsed, it's just that they saw things from the old point of view,

What's the sensational of this kind of misunderstanding ❓

They were unable to make adjustments, which ... if they want to expand their point of view, it will be proven not to violate known principles of reasoning, but actually expand reasoning, and .. . , while still being able to feel the wonders of scientific discoveries, without being trapped in an absurd overlaps reasoningMany of them are misinterpreted because they are influenced by "seeing is believing", then suddenly, the deeper science was involved, the deeper went inside the reality, the harder it was for the senses. It's not really that hard to figure out.

Fundamental Gap

Because through reasoning, of course we can realize the logical consequences. it's just that the logical consequence, even though it is undeniably valid, is unsatisfactory if it can't be verified by the senses (out of control) this is where they get confused. Actually their reasoning had already given an answer but the "seeing is believing" (sensory evidence) wastoo strong to be forced on the issue.According to the senses "The two separate things be said to be inseparable". Inseperable ❓Where is the rope or the bridge ❓They didn't see, so it's their rebuttal.

Logical Consequence

BEYOND THE SPEED OF LIGHT

<ul><li>Addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure. </li><li>Happiness is a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure.

The Fastest Thing in The Universe.

Usually associated with reward but tend to be more related to motivation craving.For example; about enjoying some food, dopamine is not really involved in the enjoyment of eating the food but more towards the motivation to get the food; it's the thing that push to get the food.So it's not really a signal or reward but more about driving of motivation/craving to seek the rewards.

The Dopamine

To have dopamine released for small things (social media, porn, tv, etc) may lead to less motivation. The pleasures are not the problem. Having the pleasures without a prior requirement is. As it can make you feel 'rewarded' while actually you haven't got anything.

Is It A Problem?

Happiness is a journey, not a destination

Be aware that pain/challenge also revoke your dopamine, after the pain is over. The bigger the friction, the bigger dopamine will be.Running for 5 kms, finish a book, write and publish your blog; challenge your self in doing things and once you finished, mark it as completed then the dopamine will get released.So instead of seeking small pleasure (and risking yourself to be dopamine rush for unnecesary things and feel less motivated after), swith to seek for pain/challenge. It will improve your dopamine level and also your life.

What To Do With It 

For further reading on how a pain/challenge effect your body (including your dopamine), you can read: <a href="https://dsta.sh/3BRgahoY5mUf5ZZ18">Human physiological responses to immersion into water of different temperatures</a>

How to Maximize Dopamine & Motivation - Andrew Huberman

Glucose Intake Levels and Neural Activity are directly linked. The body kicks into ketosis during intermittent fasting—wherein it switches from using calories and carbohydrates as an energy source to burning fat—may also play a roll in helping the brain perform at optimal levels, his research shows.Key to Hear : Fasting for a short period of time increases focus :: if your Belly is filled your concentration might reduce :: if sufficient glucose is consumed then the learning and cognitive functioning increases.

Fasting Your Belly

Caffeine is a stimulant, which means it increases activity in your brain and nervous system. It also increases the circulation of chemicals such as cortisol and adrenaline in the body. In small doses, caffeine can make you feel refreshed and focused.Keeps you awake making some sleep deals with hormones :: adenosine and adrenaline. It increases mental functioning depending on the dosage.Key to Hear : Always try to consume caffeine after 1 - 1.5 hr from the time you wake up.

Caffeine

Epinephrine or Adrenaline aren't responsible for increasing your focus but to provide energy and maintaining alertness.Dopamine doesn't provide us with happiness, it is the master regulator for focus and attention seeking.It is Oxytocin which is the joy giving hormone.

Myths To Clear

Binaural Beats : Voicing a sound in one ear and a different in the other. These beats carry a intuitive wave which increases process healing, creativity and relaxation.Key to Hear : Hear them 5 min prior to starting your task, helps in jumping through those alpha and gamma states.

Power Of Sound 

Meditating can change the structure and function of the brain through relaxation, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Increase focus and learning concentration. Improve memory and attention span.Disconnects us with the world and blazes out our focus for the given task. Use OM Chanting, Reverse Number Counting and Warm Nasal Breathing for maintaining a long-lasting habit.Key to Hear : Timings should be maintained, if delayed the sleep cycle may trip a lot. As when you reach your focused mind state shouldn't be the time you are heading to your bed.

Meditation

In this episode, I provide a list of behavioral, nutritional, and supplement-based tools you can use to improve your ability to get into a focused state to do mental or physical work. I explain science-supported strategies for transitioning into focus, maintaining focus during the work bout, and exiting the focus session, which is also critical, including decompression/defocusing tools. I explain when and how to use: binaural beats, caffeine, deliberate cold exposure, the pros and cons of working in fasted vs. fed states, and supplements and foods that enhance dopamine, epinephrine (i.e., adrenaline) and acetylcholine to promote optimal focus. Also, I explain how short behavioral practices, such as meditation and visual gaze training, will benefit your ability to focus over the long term. As deep focus is crucial to significantly improve cognitive or physical performance in any realm, this episode should be useful to anyone. By the end, you’ll have an essential toolkit of science-supported, low- to zero-cost focus and concentration strategies to select from that can be tailored to your physical and mental performance needs.

Huberman Lab discusses neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. We also discuss existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. His laboratory studies neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. For more than 20 years, Dr. Huberman has consistently published original research findings and review articles in top-level peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, Cell, Neuron, and Current Biology. He is a regular member of several National Institutes of Health review panels and a Fellow of the McKnight Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts. Dr. Huberman regularly consults for technology development companies, professional athletic organizations, and various units of U.S. and Canadian Special Operations.

Focus Toolkit: Tools to Improve Your Focus & Concentration

Tools to Improve Your Focus & Concentration

Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms that evolve and change over time become resistant to certain drugs making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread.This has become a threat since microorganisms evolve too fast, making it hard for scientists to catch up and create new drugs for the infection.

What is Antimicrobial Resistance? 

The main drivers of antimicrobial resistance includes:<ol><li>Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials</li><li>Poor infection and disease prevention</li><li>Lack of access to clean water and sanitation</li><li>Lack of awareness and knowledge</li></ol>There are many more factors that accelerate the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, but I am going to focus on these four.

Main Drivers of Antimicrobial Resistance

<ul><li>Always, and I mean ALWAYS, seek a physician and ask for a prescription if you think you have an infection. </li><li>Do not self-medicate with these drugs. A certain drug regimen must be followed for every microorganism. </li><li>Take them EXACTLY as your doctor tells you, and do not stop taking your antibiotics just because the symptoms of the infection become more tolerable for you. </li><li>Do not save them for later. Talk to your pharmacist about safely discarding leftover medicines. Also, do not hesitate to ask your pharmacist how to take antibiotics (for example, if you missed a dose).  </li></ul>

Correct Way of Using Antimicrobial Drugs

There are small changes that everyone can do in order to prevent this global threat, and it is to start in the prevention of having infections and diseases. <ol><li>Start with basic hygiene and sanitation. Wash your hands. Learn about disinfecting your own home. </li><li>Get vaccinated. Vaccines are created to prevent the infection of certain microorganism. </li><li>Educate others about this issue. </li></ol>

Basic Ways of Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance

“If we don’t act now, our medicine cabinet will be empty and we won’t have the antibiotics we need to save lives.”

As a pharmacy student, I am willing to share and educate people about this. The development of new antibiotics has slowed over time, making this issue more serious.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. 

Antimicrobial Resistance: A Short Discussion

It might sound stereotypical, but a lot of people have this perspective of scientists being less artistic and more rigid than others. Meanwhile, artists are usually perceived as people who are less rational than the rest of the population. Often described as the right side of the brain versus the left side, or artistic creativity versus logical thinking, artistic and scientific minds are usually considered polar opposites.

Artistic Vs Scientific Mind

At first glance, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso probably don’t have many things in common. While one is responsible for some of the most crucial scientific breakthroughs in history, the other one is known for his celebrated and impressive artistic masterpieces. If you compare an artistic mind and a scientific mind, you might be surprised that they actually have many things in common.

Scientists vs. Artists: Great Minds Think Alike

Throughout history, great scientists and artists shared one common trait, and this is none other than curiosity. Artists and scientists view the world with this thirst for knowledge and they work hard to comprehend how it works. Artists express their views of the world in physical art pieces while scientists meticulously test their theories.

To put it simply, both scientists and artists tread on the same path of initial free thought until they reach the point where they need to act. This is the part where the path divides into two. Those with a scientific mind follow a certain set of rigorous rules and testing to get to their point of understanding.

While most onlookers may see the fields of science and art as two totally different things, the truth is that there is a strong connection that binds them together. Both of them have inquisitive minds.

The key difference between science and art all boils down to the modern attitude of form and rules.In general, modern science seeks to shore up and reevaluate the years of research that led to the present conception of today’s material world.Once new knowledge recasts or disrupts the existing framework of knowing, science doesn’t radically shift or overhaul its base rules but adapts them more cautiously instead.

Differences between Artistic Mind and Scientific Mind

Modern art has almost as many discoveries when it comes to aesthetics and form, but it is more susceptible to radical shifts and usually veers off tradition, which is what happens at least to the most popular forms of art.

It wouldn’t be easy to claim that every artist that operates in the modern era ditches tradition, although high-profile examples tend to do so. Every time you see news about modern artists, they don’t seem like they want to make incremental advances in the knowledge field – unlike scientists that seem to do so. They may be making a more radical turn in a completely different direction altogether.

As expected, even if art and science are distinct from each other in terms of knowledge use, these two fields overlap massively. The obsession with knowledge from the two ends typically means that the thought process of the scientific mind and artistic mind is more similar than you might think.

Sintelly - Artistic vs Scientific Mind

Being forgetful is something common among old people, but a study made at UCLA found that 14% of young adults (aged 18-39) complained about their memory. With the time we spend on our computers and cellphones, forgetfulness only has space to progress and get worse among this group of individuals.But you can fight it back. How? Let me and Dr. Gary Small show you.

Forgetfulness and Memory

Unhealthy lifestyle choices are major factors in memory loss. Not having enough sleep, not having a healthy and balanced diet, and not doing enough exercise are some of the causes that lead to bad brain health.

Bad Health equals Bad Memory

There are some effective and practical ways we can improve muscle memory. According to Dr. Small, he has a method called :Look, Snap, Connect Look - Slow down. Take a second to remember what you have to record in your brain. Really look at the details or listen and process the words being used. Snap - The brain has a natural ability to remember things visually, so leverage that. Take a mental snapshot of what you've just seen or the exact place some important conversation took place. Connect - Associate these images, these mental snapshots to a relevant detail related to the situation in present.

Improving your Memory

Exercise as little as taking a 20min walk daily, minimizes the risk of having Alzheimer's disease later on. Working out on a day-to-day basis creates a scientific thingy, that is referred, in more common terms, as brain fertilizer, which strengthens the connection between neurons and so improves memory.

Get Moving 

This one is a no-brainer. Sleeping is key. Insomnia is the enemy of memory. If you check the rest of my profile you'll have more details about sleeping cycles and sleep specifically.

Get More Sleep

Obesity can trigger late-life brain diseases. Dr. Small recommends avoiding processed foods and fast food. Oxidation is also something that brings wear and tear to the brain, so get some anti-oxidation food into your system such as fish, nuts, and avocados.

Eating Healthy

Training your brain is the same as working out your biceps or chest. Dr. Small recomends this exact exercise that will streghten your muscle memory : Take a piece of paper and a pencil and try writing your first name using your non-dominant hand (i.e., left hand if you are right-handed). Now, take a second pencil and try writing your first name using both hands at the same time. Now, try it with your last name.

Brain Exercise
