Slide titled "IesU" discussing the etymology of the name Jesus, linking it to Roman deities Jupiter and Juno (IU) and Indian symbolism of the double-sexed god Ardha-Nari Eswara. Text excerpt: "by the real name, IesU or IESU, like IU, pater, the IU standing for a god, being a creative couple. Here again the Romans went to India for their symbolism. The double-sexed god of India is Ardha-Nari Eswara, 'Ardha-Nari' meaning half male and half woman, and 'Eswara' means guardian of the phallus, hence upholder of life, also 'flesh guardian' or 'guardian of all flesh' or of the phallus, as the Hindoo 'Es' is used, like our flesh, in 'fleshly lusts' of scripture. Thus we see that IesU is a name describing an individual of flesh clothed with the spirit of God, or divinity, to use the ancient Chinese Di particle, as the I and U, male and female, enclose the 'Es,' flesh, or as our Litany says, 'God made flesh for us,' as repeated 12 times in the Epistles to indicate the 12 months—as Jesus, or I

Screenshot of an FDA.gov webpage (fda.gov) viewed on an iPhone, showing page "6 of 11" of a document titled "POSTMARKETING REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 505(o)." The text describes the FDA's authority under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) to require postmarketing studies and clinical trials for approved drugs. A circled/highlighted paragraph states: "We have determined that an analysis of spontaneous postmarketing adverse events reported under section 505(k)(1) of the FDCA will not be sufficient to assess known serious risks of myocarditis and pericarditis and identify an unexpected serious risk of subclinical myocarditis." Additional text notes that the FDA's pharmacovigilance system under section 505(k)(3) is also insufficient to assess these risks, and lists a required study: "Study C4591009, entitled 'A Non-Interventional Post-Approval Safety Study of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine in the United States,' to evaluate the occurrence of myocarditis and pericarditis following administration of COMIRNATY."

He had a club also with which he killed men whom he ate. "Up at the low gap I am watching for men, wu hwu wo," he sang. Coyote came walking along in front of him. "Wu hwu wo," sang Owl, "I am looking for men in the low gap." The two came face to face there. "Now," said Owl, "the one who vomits human flesh will kill men." "Very well," said Coyote, "shut your eyes." Owl shut his eyes. When he vomited, Coyote put his hand under and took the meat. The grasshoppers which Coyote vomited he put in Owl's hand. "Now open your eyes," said Coyote. Owl looked and saw the grasshoppers lying in his hand. Coyote showed him the meat. "What did I tell you," said Coyote, "this is the meat I threw up." "Where did I drink in the grasshoppers?" said Owl. Coyote ran all around Owl. "

Slide about the etymology and biblical/folkloric significance of "leviathan." Text explains the word derives from Hebrew (via Middle English and Late Latin) meaning "twisted or coiled," referring to a serpent or dragon in the Bible. It quotes several verses: Job 41:1 ("Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?..."), Psalm 74:14 ("Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces..."), Psalm 104:26 ("There go the ships: there is that leviathan..."), and Isaiah 27:1 ("In that day the LORD...shall slay the dragon that is in the sea"). The text also describes a midrash account: the leviathan was created on the fifth day, with God producing a male and female pair before slaying the female to prevent overpopulation, saving her flesh for a messianic banquet. It notes that R. Eliezer believed the leviathan's body, especially its eyes, emits great illuminating light, citing Job 41:18. Despite its supernatural strength, the leviathan reportedly fears a small worm called "kilbit," which kills large fish by clinging to their gills (citing Shabbat 77b). The right side features three illustrations: two 17

Close-up photograph of a human petrous bone within the skull, showing its dense, pale, triangular-shaped structure that protects the inner ear. Caption text reads: "The human petrous bone in the skull protects the inner ear structures. Though it is one of the hardest, densest bones in the body, some portions (such as the area in orange, protecting the cochlea) are denser than others. Possibly because the petrous bone is so dense, DNA within the petrous bone is better preserved than in other bones. In some cases, scientists have extracted more than 100 times more DNA from the petrous bone than bones, including teeth." Credit: Pinhasi et al., 2015, PLOS ONE.

There were 2 turning points in my life and one of them was starting to smoke weed and letting it help me render my reality in a more sincere way. In argentina we say that weed allows you to 'sacarte la careta' which means to take off your mask, to show your true self. I think it works both ways… it takes the mask of reality and let's you appreciate things as they truly are, if you are willing to do so and it takes your own mask away so you can show your true self to the world. Maybe we shouldn't depend on a plant to achieve this, but in this tricky reality we live in, I accept every tool I can get to help me through my process. The other turning point was during covid, finally facing one of the several traps this system has, in this case related to the health-care business."

The right side contains excerpted text discussing Dionysian ritual dismemberment (sparagmos) and the eating of raw flesh (omophagia), referencing scholars James George Frazer, E.R. Dodds, and Robert Graves. A highlighted red box quotes Dodds: "The practice seems to rest in fact on a very simple piece of savage logic. The homoeopathic effects of a flesh diet are known all over the world. If you want to be lion-hearted, you must eat lion; if you want to be subtle, you must eat snake... By parity of reasoning, if you want to be like god you must eat god (or at any rate something which is theion). And you must eat him quick and raw, before the blood has oozed from him." Additional text discusses Dionysus being eaten in various forms (bull, goat, fawn, viper), the Gruppe theory of omophagia as sacrament, and connects this to the myth of

Slide titled "Barbed Wire Fence – Breaking Force (lbf)" featuring a photo of Texas longhorn cattle grazing behind a barbed wire fence, with an arrow labeled ">2000 lbf" pointing to the fence wire. Text panel reads: **Barbed Wire Fence – Breaking Force (lbf):** - Typical breaking strength per strand: 900 to 1,300 lbf (pound-force) (depending on wire gauge and quality) - Most barbed wire is 12½ gauge high-tensile steel, which is strong and resists stretching under cattle pressure. - Fences often use 3 to 5 strands, spaced vertically, so total containment strength is spread across all of them — but only one or two strands might take a direct hit from a cow or bull. **Real-World Impact:** - A heavy bull pushing or leaning hard (~1,500–2,000 lbf of force) can snap or deform a strand, especially if the fence is loose or aged. - Barbed wire isn't meant to fully stop cattle by strength — it's meant to discourage with the barbs.
