Superb flowers but very dangerous to stay under the cannonball tree.

Big herb. Not really a woody plant.

This is a Ficus tree. Is one of the common genus of trees also in the Brazilian rainforest. Some are native. Other not.

That was a flower bloom. Also not a tree.

Palms and Bamboo are technically "very big weeds". They are more related with grasses than with pines and never have rings. Bananas are also just giant herbs.

So Monocots don't have rings. Anything else that is a tree in a tropical forest has rings. It does not matter where they grow. The rings are smaller in slow growing species, and are different structurally in conifers, but this is all.


Pointing again to the idea that this disease is triggered by bacteria, at least in some cases [1].

By bacteria or another microorganism that is alive (not a virus). There is a growing suspicion that oral bacteria is related with Alzheimer somehow.

Taxi and ambulance drivers have one thing in common with all the other drivers: they live behind an habitacle filter most of the time. But they have also one particular thing in common that truck drivers and car owners don't have.

They disinfect the car with alcohol after each customer.

[1] This does not mean that other causes like chemicals or pollutants known to damage the nervous system couldn't trigger it also.


> what the heck a glass fish is.

In Biodiversity, a glass fish includes a few group of Asian fishes that show crystal transparent bodies to hide from predators. Specially when young. They are vertebrates that evolved transparent muscles. Two gens are kept in aquariums: Parambassis ranga and several ghost catfish from gen Kriptopterus.

We can assume that the programmer likes aquariums. The word Yakarta is not random, as is related with the catfishes distribution.


Jakarta was chosen by the Eclipse Foundation because it is the largest city on the island of Java, and Oracle is virulently litigious around the Java trademark.

A lose of time and rage.

NoKings starting a new political party around the movement, or explaining how to do it to people, so youngsters can fire the GOP for good... that would change the game. THAT would send the clear message that politicians will hear with fear.

But marching, not, It will not change anything. Is just distracting the frog in the bath for a little more, while the slow cooking coup continues. Unless the politicians think that they personally have something to lose, they will not care.


Yep, UN sanctions deployed on Israel for invading other countries are much worse that when Russia invaded other countries (sarcasm). UN really tried to set an example here.

Same in Spain with prominent figures of the right. Diaz Ayuso the president of the Madrid autonomic region and a very powerful figure in the right party, has been particularly combative for months to refuse to see a genocide in Gaza, or tried to justify it with nail and teeth. Then her connection with some Israel millionaires was disclosed, and now she is suddenly very quiet about the theme. Not more party invitations, it seems.

To add context and data: Ayuso is a close friend of David Hatchwell Altaras, CEO of Excem technologies (Cibersecurity, telecom and Intelligence).

Hatchwell was one of the biggest donors of Netanyahu campaign, and was in the inner circle of Sheldon Adelson.

He is related also with "Action and Communication on the Middle East" (Acom), the "company accelerator" Zakut (Provider of entrepreneurship and technology consulting services), the investments platform OurCrowd, and several business on real state in Madrid.
