In this first episode of our deep-dive series, I'm breaking down the hidden connection between total toxic burden, molecular mimicry, and autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis. We'll explore: How living with mold toxins, chemicals, heavy metals, and infections keeps your immune system stuck in overdrive Why toxic burden overload can push your body into autoimmune mode — even if your labs were normal for years The science of molecular mimicry and how gluten, viruses, and environmental triggers can “trick” your immune system into attacking your thyroid Why a gluten-free diet is non-negotiable for thyroid autoimmunity — and how even a single exposure can keep the immune attack going for months The role of gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and detox pathways in calming the autoimmune fire This isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about finding and removing the root cause triggers so your body can regain immune tolerance and repair itself. If you've been told “your labs look fine” but you still feel tired, inflamed, or foggy, Part One will help you connect the dots and see why true thyroid healing starts far beyond the thyroid itself.

For over two decades, the legacy media failed catastrophically in its responsibility to expose Jeffrey Epstein's criminal empire. Rather than investigate, they actively suppressed the story, ignored survivors, buried leads, and protected the powerful individuals within Epstein's orbit. Outlets like ABC, NBC, and The New York Times had ample evidence but chose access over accountability, prestige over principle. When whistleblowers and independent journalists tried to sound the alarm, they were smeared as conspiracy theorists. The media wasn't just absent—they were complicit, operating as PR agents for the very elites they were supposed to scrutinize. Even after Epstein's 2019 arrest, the media presented the scandal as if it were new, rewriting history to conceal their cowardice and protect their image.Now, years later, those same outlets have shamelessly returned to the story, parroting talking points and revelations that the so-called “conspiracy crowd” had documented long ago. They grandstand as if they were in the trenches, all while ignoring their own role in shielding the system that allowed Epstein to thrive. Their sudden concern is not about justice—it's about optics, narrative control, and political expediency. The Epstein scandal is not just about one man—it's about the elite networks that enabled him and the media institutions that kept those networks safe. Until the press admits its role in the cover-up and holds everyone accountable—not just those who are no longer useful—its credibility remains broken. They were never the watchdogs. They were the gatekeepers. And their gates are stained with blood.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode:00:45 Why animals evolve to be imperfect mimicsMany harmless animals mimic dangerous ones to avoid being eaten, but often this fakery is inaccurate. To help explain why evolution sometimes favours imperfect mimicry, a team 3D printed a range of imaginary insects. The novel creatures were designed to mimic wasps with varying degrees of accuracy and the team then presented these models to different predators. They showed that while birds were hard to fool, invertebrate predators were less able to discern between the mimics and accurate wasp models. The results suggest that predator perception plays a key role in the level of accuracy needed to fool them and may help explain the existence of inaccurate mimics in nature.Research article: Taylor et al.News and Views: 3D printing offers a way to study mimicry by insects12:53 Research HighlightsRitual ‘retirement' rather than family feud may explain broken statues of a female pharaoh, and how kelp ‘loofahs' made by killer whales might be the first example of toolmaking by a marine mammal.Research Highlight: The shattered statues of Queen Hatshepsut: the reasons for the wreckageResearch Highlight: Killer whales exfoliate each other with home-made scrubbers15:02 Briefing ChatThe sea slugs that steal chloroplasts to snack on, and the researchers re-enacting a Stone Age sea-voyage.Nature: ‘Wildest thing': solar-powered slug steals chloroplasts and stores them for emergenciesNature: These scientists re-enacted Stone Age voyage to Japan's remote islandsSubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

In a world where remote work, Slack threads, and Zoom fatigue dominate, The Art of Charm welcomes Andrew Brodsky, management professor at UT Austin and author of Ping: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication. This episode is a masterclass in how to reclaim productivity, enhance visibility, and communicate strategically in a virtual-first world. Andrew introduces the PING Framework — a practical toolkit for navigating digital communication with precision, warmth, and power. If you're feeling drained by back-to-back video calls, unclear on how to network virtually, or unsure how to make your contributions seen and respected — this episode offers the clarity you've been craving. What to Listen For [00:00:00] The one question almost no one asks that instantly improves meetings [00:04:39] Media richness, cue variety, and why Zoom still feels awkward [00:11:43] Introducing the PING Framework: Perspective, Initiative, Nonverbal, Goals [00:16:44] How to create communication boundaries and stop feeling “always on” [00:25:43] Generational differences and why Gen Z hates the thumbs-up emoji [00:29:05] The visibility trap of remote work and how to build presence [00:35:25] Cold messaging: why successful people are more likely to respond than you think [00:44:03] Why asking for advice increases perceived competence — not weakness [00:48:54] How to rekindle faded relationships without making it weird [00:53:47] Bringing back the “virtual water cooler” [00:57:53] Mimicry and digital nonverbal cues that build instant trust Episode Takeaways: Stop defaulting to email or video — ask how people prefer to communicate. It's a subtle power move that builds trust fast. Productivity ≠ Visibility. If no one knows what you're doing, it doesn't count. The people you look up to are getting fewer cold messages than you think. Stand out with brevity, specificity, and a simple ask. Remote communication is not inferior — it's different. Use the PING Framework (Perspective, Initiative, Nonverbal, Goals) to choose the best format for your message. Want better work-life balance? Define communication norms with your team.

Send us a textOver the course of Spring 2024, I was presented with a wonderful opportunity to carry out a single species project by way of good providence.  It seemed my luck was in, when a single male Northern Wheatear took up territory at Landsort, Sweden. The bird chose to sing regularly on the roof of the island's bird observatory, right next to my deployed SM Mini field recorder. As I began to listen to the recorded song strophes, it was very obvious that this individual was an astounding mimic. This single individual male bird was mirroring it's sonic environment, demonstrating it's ability to mimic species in real time as a life long learner. This prompted me to break down the audio of this incredible little songbird and attempt to unravel the species it was immitating, when it was doing so and whether it was responding to it's immediate environment in real time...Following this initial song magazine, I will bring you on another relaxing acoustic journey. I present a long sound magazine made at a wonderfully biodiverse reserve, just south of Stockholm City. Experience the wonderful early Spring soundscapes at Sandemar Reserve, Sweden. Here there are a number of different habitats, which are full of singing birds in Spring. I spent a lot of time at this very special place in 2024 and managed some rather special audio whilst field recording there. I wish to share this, with you, the listener's...Support the showSubscibe to Wild Bird Acoustics here;https://wildbirdacoustics.buzzsprout.comLots more audio related material here at my long running website;https://blogbirder.blogspot.com/

It's Monday, March 31st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian pastor's body found after he described recent death threats Pastor Praveen Pagadala, a renowned Christian evangelist and apologist, has been found dead under suspicious circumstances in the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, weeks after expressing concerns for his safety, reports The Christian Post. The 46-year-old pastor, who is survived by his wife and two young children, was traveling from Hyderabad to Rajahmundry when he was discovered lifeless along a roadside in the early hours of the morning last Tuesday. Reports indicate that he had recently shared concerns about threats to his life, particularly stemming from his outspoken defense of Christianity and criticism of other religions, according to Open Doors UK, which noted that he had attended a prayer meeting the day before his sudden death. It's our prayer at The Worldview that this sobering story, and others like it, will motivate you to make every day count for God, living each one as though it were your last. Psalm 90:12 states, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."  Appeals court rules DOGE can continue operating at USAID A federal appeals court on Friday granted the Trump administration's motion to extend a stay allowing the Department of Government Efficiency to continue operating at the United States Agency for International Development, reports Fox News. That's great news since DOGE has already saved the taxpayers $130 billion which is $807.45 per taxpayer. Appearing on Fox News, Daniel Cameron, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, was thrilled. CAMERON: “It is a fantastic win for the Trump administration and their perseverance! “Unconventional doesn't necessarily mean unconstitutional. USAID has become a haven for the radical Left. We want to see a president that is cutting waste, fraud and abuse. “As a conservative, we've been talking about this for 30 years. Ronald Reagan started it, and Donald Trump is going to get the job done.” Last week, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang, a federal judge in Maryland appointed by Democrat Barack Obama, ruled that efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency to halt USAID functions were likely unconstitutional, ordering its reinstatement. Thankfully, last Tuesday, a federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia issued a stay, temporarily blocking the judge's order that prohibited DOGE from working with USAID. 2,000 young people in Illinois Pro-Life March Last Tuesday, March 25th, 2,000 pro-lifers – primarily teenagers and young adults – walked down the streets of Springfield, Illinois in the Illinois Pro-Life March, reports LifeSiteNews.com.  Unlike the dozen scowling pro-abortion protestors, who promoted abortion as so-called “healthcare” at the corner of Capitol Avenue and Second Street, the pro-life young people were cheering, dancing, singing, smiling, laughing, and praying. Oceana Huang, a freshman at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, was enthusiastic. HUANG: “I came out here because I think it's important to give a voice to the voiceless. And I love seeing loads of people come together for a common cause.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” MALE PRO-LIFE MARCHER: “I feel like that, as a community, we should help these unborn children have a life.” Ella Timmermann, a junior at Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, spoke to God's plans. TIMMERMAN: “I firmly believe that everybody should have a chance to grow up into the blessings that God has given us, and I believe that God sets us out for a purpose into the world.” Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” MALE PRO-LIFE MARCHER: “I came out here today because life's important. Once we forget about the importance of the sanctity of human life, we forget about the sanctity of every moral aspect of our life.” Hummingbird chicks observed pretending to be caterpillars to avoid being eaten And finally, when Jay Falk and Scott Taylor first saw the white-necked Jacobin hummingbird chick in Panama's dense rainforest, the biologists did not know what they were looking at, reports the GoodNewsNetwork.org. The day-old bird, smaller than a pinky finger, had brown fuzz all over its body. When Falk and Taylor walked closer to the nest, the chick began twitching and shaking its head—a behavior they had never seen in birds before. It turns out the hummingbird might fend off predators by mimicking a poisonous caterpillar that lives in the same region. In a new paper published March 17 in Ecology, Taylor, an associate professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, described this unusual mimicry behavior found for the first time in hummingbirds. TAYLOR: “When we looked at the nest and saw how strange this baby hummingbird looked, we thought this looks exactly like a caterpillar. So, some caterpillars cover themselves with urticating hairs, which, when touched, they can be really painful and even cause nausea in humans. When the white-necked Jacobin chick hatched, we noticed that its long, fluffy down feathers could make it look dangerous to predators, just like these caterpillars. “Tropical forests are filled with mysteries and discoveries waiting to happen. Our findings show that every detail can reveal something extraordinary.” Scientists refer to this survival strategy of mimicking a harmful species as Batesian mimicry. For example, some non-venomous milk snakes have developed a pattern of red, yellow and black coloring similar to that of venomous coral snakes to ward off predators. Taylor said, “A lot of these really classic examples of Batesian mimicry involve butterflies mimicking other butterflies, or snakes mimicking other snakes. But here, we have a bird potentially mimicking an insect, a vertebrate mimicking an invertebrate.” Well, Answers in Genesis, the creation science group known for its Ark Encounter in Kentucky, said, “The origin of mimicry has always been troublesome for evolutionary dogma. Mimicry occurs in numerous groups of animals and provides a benefit to at least the mimic. However, according to many evolutionists, such as Richard Dawkins, evolution is merely a string of unordered events with ‘no purpose in mind.' Given Dawkins' belief system, mimicry is indeed a significant problem for the evolutionists.” Job 12:7-10 says, “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the Earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will explain to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?” Including the white-necked Jacobin hummingbird chick!

“The Art of Mimicry: Manikandan's Journey”

In interpersonal communication, humans tend to mimic one another verbally and non-verbally, producing beneficial outcomes for the mimicker. The growth in online communication has moved many manager-customer interactions from in-person to a virtual environment visible to others. Thus, we investigate whether and how managers' conscious mimicking of wording from consumers' online reviews affects the purchase intentions of third-party readers of the exchange. We propose that mimicking is a signal of the firm's attentiveness that increases trust, resulting in increased purchase intentions. A series of experimental studies support this hypothesis under varying conditions, such as whether the valence of the customer's communication is positive or negative, or the frequency of the use of mimicry varies. An examination of field data finds that the use of mimicry increases the ratings of subsequent reviews. Thus, we provide managers with a straightforward tool that can increase consumer trust, purchase intentions, and subsequent review ratings.

 In this episode, Wayne and Brian catch up with each other, discussing their latest adventures and activities. Wayne talks about his new DJI drone, recent hikes, and capturing stunning 4K footage of his property. He also shares experiences from his recent birthday trip, complete with drone experiments. The conversation shifts to Sasquatch sightings as Brian shares insights from a recent Bigfoot conference, recounts from the LBL (Land Between the Lakes) outing, and explores the controversial porcupine video. They delve deep into the debate, examining videos and expert analysis by Christopher Noel, who argues the footage shows a juvenile Sasquatch, not a porcupine.

In episode 210, Dan and Michael chat with Bretton Varga and Erin Adams about their article published in Theory & Research in Social Education, “Theorizing mimesis across social studies contexts of mimicry, imitation, and simulation.”

Mistletoe often mimics the appearance of its host, especially in Australia where species like the drooping and box mistletoes resemble eucalyptus trees. Evolutionary explanations struggle with how this happens, but from a creationist perspective, this mimicry reflects the care and design of a Creator who enables mistletoe to blend into its environment.

“Mimicry has been my life. It was the easiest channel to my best teacher. For me, it wasn't people; it was the animals themselves, and the most accessible route to that was through their language.”What effect does imitation have on our body, our memory, our sense of connection? What if we could understand just what the Raven is saying? How do the coyotes behave differently around wolves than they do around mountain lions?In this episode, George Bumann joins us to explore these questions, and shares stories from his lifelong journey of learning just what the animals are saying to each other. Enjoy!About George BumannGeorge Bumann (rhymes with ‘human') is the author of Eavesdropping on Animals, and a professional sculptor living with his wife, young son, and black Labrador Hobbes, at Yellowstone Park's northern entrance in Gardiner, Montana.

In this episode of the Neurodivergent Experience, we delve into various official neurodivergent diagnostic screening tests! So many people begin their autism diagnostic journey by taking a test similar to the AQ-10 test. These questionnaires play a key role for parents, care givers and the large percentage of the population who are yet to understand their neurodivergent brains, to get a diagnosis, but how accurate are these screening tests and are the tools they use to diagnose still fit for purpose? We take three tests that cover autism, ADHD and masking to see how we score and whether we think the screening tools are as accurate in recognising neurodivergent traits as they should be.Follow along and let us know how you scored!Autism: https://embrace-autism.com/aq-10/ADHD: https://embrace-autism.com/asrs-5/#testMasking or Camouflaging: https://embrace-autism.com/cat-q/#testTakeawaysMimicry can be a tool for learning social skills.Expectations from others can influence how we present ourselves.It's important to find a balance between being authentic and meeting social norms.

In this World Shared Practice Forum Podcast, Drs. Adrienne Randolph and Aaron Bodansky explore the groundbreaking research findings that uncover the pathophysiological mechanism behind multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). These findings shed light on the characteristic immune response of patients who develop MIS-C, and provide insight into the development of post-infectious auto-immune disease phenotypes. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Describe the pathophysiology of MIS-C, including the clinical features and molecular immune response - Describe the immune dysregulation that results in MIS-C, including the role of autoantibodies and T-cell responses - Identify the potential connections between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the development of autoimmune responses - Recognize the implications of the study findings for other related conditions such as long COVID and sepsis AUTHORS Adrienne Randolph, MD, MSc Senior Associate in Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine Boston Children's Hospital Professor of Anaesthesia and Pediatrics Harvard Medical School Aaron Bodansky, MD Assistant Professor Pediatric Critical Care University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine DATES Initial publication: September 24, 2024.

This podcast explores the crucial difference between mimicking and understanding in learning processes, using examples from horse training and human skill acquisition. Stacy emphasizes that while mimicking is often the initial step in learning, it's merely the beginning. True mastery comes from developing a deeper understanding of the 'why' behind actions and behaviors. Stacy shares how young horses, like Lefty, start by copying behaviors without fully comprehending their meanings. Similarly, humans may imitate training techniques without grasping their underlying principles. This superficial approach can lead to incomplete learning and ineffective application of skills. Stacy stresses the importance of moving beyond imitation to develop nuanced understanding, which enables learners to adapt techniques to various situations and truly master a skill. Key takeaways: • Mimicking is a natural starting point in learning but shouldn't be the end goal • Understanding the 'why' behind actions leads to more effective application of skills • Observing patterns and questioning experiences deepens comprehension • True mastery involves adapting techniques to different contexts • Moving beyond copying requires active engagement and reflection on learning experiences

The Cinereous Mourner is a small, ashy-gray bird that lives in the forest understory of the Amazon Basin. And it's taking mimicry to the next level: when viewed from above, lying alone in its cup-shaped nest, its chick is a near match to a highly toxic caterpillar — one that snakes and monkeys won't eat. The chick even waves its head like a caterpillar, increasing the illusion.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
