Eine erneute Hinwendung zur bildenden Kunst erscheint indiziert, um die Potentialität visueller Ausdrucksformen mittels pigmentbasierter Medien im Kontext kunsttheoretischer Diskurse zu explorieren und somit zur Erweiterung ästhetischer Paradigmen beizutragen. Oder was?
Cartoon: Ein Landschaftsmaler sitzt in der Natur an seiner Staffelei und malt ein Bild. Er streckt die Hand aus, um diese typische Gestik zu machen, die Landschaftsmaler nun mal machen, wenn sie entfernte Größen und Proportionen der Landschaft anhand ihres Daumens oder Pinsels ermitteln. Allerdings malt er in diesem Fall seinen Daumen und den Pinsel auf seine Leinwand.

A Map of the New Normal: How Inflation, War, and Sanctions Will Change Your World Forever by Jeff Rubin, 2024

Bestselling economist Jeff Rubin warns that the shock inflation of 2021 is the front of a perfect storm of war, supply-chain disruption, geopolitical realignment, domestic upheaval, and energy scarcity that will change everything.

During the pandemic, government deficits skyrocketed to record highs while central banks primed the printing presses—and the time has come to pay for it. The ramifications of international COVID-19 spending could potentially last for decades, and inevitably one of the first consequences will be that central banks will lose control of interest rates, and subsequently, growth and inflation targets. The genie will be out of the bottle. That is just the first symptom of a series of cascading upheavals. Supply-chain disruptions have already shown the vulnerability of the globalist model that has fueled growth for the past decades.

We treat foreigners as human beings and equals (even in job) here in the Philippines, and this is how our own people are treated abroad⁉️ Let me guess, you treat animals far better, right?

Ogenomtänkta nya vänsterpartier. Personer som uteslutits ur Vänsterpartiet helt i onödan och helt utan att det funnits anledning till det bildar nya vänstergrupper på löpande band. Fast de kallar dem partier och de ska alltid samverka med andra vänstergrupper folkrörelser och aktivister på en massa olika sätt.

Mozilla ist mir in den letzten Jahren zu oft falsch abgebogen, als dass ich ein etabliertes Programm wie FairEmail so schnell ersetzen würde. 🤷‍♂️

A Clinician’s Evidence-Based Guide to Supplements by Grant Cooper et al eds.

Currently, there is no single, easy-to-use reference for a physician to access to learn about the evidence behind different common supplements. This text fills that gap by allowing physicians to be able to educate themselves and their patients about important supplements in terms of what the data actually says about those supplements...

#supplements

how they work or don't work on different problems and also how those supplements may interact with a patient's medications. The chapters are organized alphabetically by supplement to make it easy for a physician to reference which one they are specifically looking for. There are eight chapters total as well as an introduction and conclusion. Each supplement is broken down into subsections such as what is it and howit works in the body, what is it used for and at what dosage, evidence for or against its different uses, safety concerns, side effects, and precautions and interactions with other medications. Written by experts in the field, An Evidence-Based Guide to Supplements appeals to practicing physicians of every specialty that interact with patients. Supplements are asked about in almost every medical office but especially with primary care physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, geriatric medicine professionals, pain medicine specialists and rheumatologists. https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-66885-2
