Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street introduced Freddy Krueger, a dream-stalking slasher who kills teens in their sleep—kills that become real—and was inspired by a chilling true epidemic of Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS) among Southeast Asian refugees in the late 1970s–80s. A young Cambodian survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide (1975–79, ~2 million dead) resettled in the U.S., tormented by nightmares of being chased, resisted sleep for days, then died mysteriously in bed with no autopsy findings; the CDC documented over 100 similar cases of healthy young Hmong, Laotian, and Cambodian men dying overnight. Locally explained via folklore—like the Philippine batibat hag or Thai widow ghost suffocating victims—these deaths were later linked to Brugada syndrome, a genetic heart arrhythmia triggered by stress, heavy meals, or PTSD, though the "hundred years' enigma" remains unsolved, blending real trauma with cinematic terror.   Sources: Brugada syndrome: MedlinePlus Genetics.

attracting Olav's attention.No: Mens hun vurderte å snike seg til den lille butikken ved siden av kafeen for å kjøpe tøfler, kom Olav bort til bordet med deres bestillinger.En: While she contemplated

to work with two different socks more than once."No: " Blikkene deres møttes, og Sigrid kunne ikke unngå å smile.En: Their eyes met, and Sigrid couldn't help but smile.No: "Det ser ut som vi begge har våre dager," svarte hun, og prøvde å skjule hvor lettet hun følte seg.En: "Looks like we both have our days," she replied, trying to hide how relieved she felt.No: Olav smilte tilbake og tilbød seg en ny kopp, "Denne er på huset.En: Olav smiled back and offered her a new cup, "This one's on the house.No: Vi alle har våre små uhell.En: We all have our little mishaps."No: " Ingrid humret ved siden

moment of silence, with only the sound of rustling leaves outside and muted conversations in the room, Mikkel spoke up.No: "Einar, kanskje du kan prøve å si noe annet til Sigrid?En: "Einar, maybe you

This week, tensions between Washington and Beijing are escalating once again. Trump accuses China of “holding the world captive” after it placed export controls on rare earth minerals, the same materials the U.S. relies on to build advanced weaponry. But what's really behind this narrative? Join us as we unpack the U.S. push for confrontation with China, from economic warfare to military buildup, with special guests K.J. Noh and Mimi Zhu. Together, we'll expose how the so-called “trade war” fits into a much larger strategy of empire.

gårder lå som perler mellom de myke åsene.En: The trees were dressed in golden, flaming leaves that danced in the wind, and small farms lay like pearls between the soft hills.No: Sindre, en ivrig bonde med et stort smil, speidet utover marken.En: Sindre, an eager farmer with a big smile, scanned the fields.No: Ved siden av ham stod hans trofaste venn – en geit ved navn Tuva.En: Beside him

der Tuva elegant ville bevege seg til rytmen av den lokale folkemusikken.En: He had envisioned a comedic dance where Tuva would elegantly move to the rhythm of the local folk music.No: Men det var et problem.En: But there was a problem.No: Tuva, ivrig etter å bli underholdt, var mer interessert i å tygge på syndres stråhatt enn å lære noen dansetrinn.En: Tuva, eager to be entertained, was more interested in chewing on Sindre's straw hat than learning any dance steps.No: Dag etter dag prøvde Sindre å lære Tuva enkle trinn.En: Day after day, Sindre tried to teach Tuva simple steps.No: "Kom igjen, Tuva," sa han mens han danset rundt, "fot til høyre, fot til venstre.En: "Come on, Tuva," he said as he danced around, "foot to the right, foot to the left."No: " Men Tuva, hengitt til sin egen rytme, kastet seg over Sindre og rev av hatten fra hodet hans.En: But Tuva, devoted to her own rhythm, lunged at Sindre and tore the hat from his head.No: Hun tygget nøye på kanten, og virket helt uanfektet av dansetimen.En: She chewed carefully on the brim, seeming completely unaffected by the dance lesson.No: En dag, frustrert men fortsatt optimistisk, fikk Sindre en idé.En: One day, frustrated but still optimistic, Sindre had an idea.No: Han visste hvor mye Tuva elsket kål og bestemte seg for å bruke det som bestikkelse.En: He knew how much Tuva loved cabbage and decided to use it as a bribe.No: Han brakte ut en hel fjell av kål og sa: "Se, Tuva!En: He brought out a whole mountain of cabbage and said, "Look, Tuva!No: Dans først, så får du kål.En: Dance first, then you'll get cabbage."No: " Men Tuva, med sine store, nysgjerrige øyne, var allerede inni hodet dypt fornøyd med hatten.En: But Tuva, with her big, curious eyes, was already deeply satisfied in her mind with the hat.No: Dagen for festivalen kom.En: The day of the festival arrived.No: Gårdsplassen var fylt med folk, latter og forventning.En: The farmyard was filled with people, laughter, and anticipation.No: Sindre kjente sommerfugler i magen.En: Sindre felt butterflies in his stomach.No: Det var deres tur til å opptre, og han tok et dypt pust mens han gikk opp på scenen med Tuva.En: It was their turn to perform, and he took a deep breath as he went up on stage with Tuva.No: Plutselig, midt i folkemusikken, kastet Sindre hatten i luften i ren frustrasjon.En: Suddenly, in the middle of the folk music, Sindre threw the hat into the air in sheer frustration.No: Til alles overraskelse sprang Tuva etter hatten.En: To everyone's surprise, Tuva sprang after the hat.No: Hun jaget den rundt Sindre, og i et forsøk på å fange den, danset de alle sammen i en uforventet, men utrolig underholdende rutine.En: She chased it around Sindre, and in an attempt to catch it, they all ended up in an unexpected but

Tuva's mischievous charm.No: Da showet var over, fikk Sindre og Tuva stående applaus.En: When the show was over, Sindre and Tuva received a standing ovation.No: Selv om planen ikke hadde gått helt som forventet, forstod Sindre noe viktig.En: Although the plan hadn't gone quite as expected, Sindre understood something important.No: Det var ikke perfeksjonen i dansen som betydde mest, men gleden og latteren de skapte sammen.En: It wasn't the perfection of the dance that mattered most, but the joy and laughter they created together.No: Sindre klappet Tuva forsiktig.En: Sindre patted Tuva gently.No: "Du er en stjerne, Tuva," sa han med et stort smil.En: "You are a star, Tuva," he said with a big smile.No: Og mens solen sank bak åsene, visste han at både han og Tuva ville bli husket for

We begin with Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957), a chilling reimagining of Macbeth that blends Noh theatre, samurai tragedy, and supernatural ghosts. In this episode, MonteCristo and DoA discuss:⚔️How Throne of Blood's fog, wind, and black-and-white style shaped Kurosawa Mode in Ghost of Tsushima (returning in Ghost of Yōtei)⚔️The fusion of Shakespearean tragedy with Japanese Noh theatre and its symbolism (Lady Asaji's mask-like stillness, the centipede banners, spinning horses)⚔️Kurosawa's legendary use of atmosphere and the unforgettable real-arrow death scene with Toshiro Mifune⚔️How the film's themes of cursed destiny and supernatural hauntings echo the mythic tone of Ghost of Yōtei

In this episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, Ali Mezey interviews Philip Shepherd, a luminary in the global embodiment movement. Together, Ali and Philip explore countercultural aspects of embodiment, the importance of challenging societal norms, and the need to advocate for a shift towards present-centered awareness.Central to the conversation is the profound impact of the pelvic bowl, a core element of Philip's teachings. Drawing inspiration from cultures that value the body differently, Philip highlights the concept of Hara in Japanese Noh theater. He traces the historical shift in Western culture from the belly as the thinking center to the current emphasis on the head, revealing a narrative of mistrust in the body.Sensitivity emerges as a core theme of the conversation, which Philip positions as the foundation of intelligence. Ali and Philip delve into the subtleties of staying “dropped in” to the pelvic floor, stressing the gentle and patient approach required for restoring sensitivity, especially in individuals who have experienced trauma. Throughout the episode, the exploration of embodiment, cultural shifts, and the profound connection between the body and the world converges into a call to action. The duo inspires listeners to nurture sensitivity, embrace radical wholeness, and reclaim their true intelligence, fostering the evolution of both individual and collective consciousness.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE PHILIP SHEPHERD:PHILIP – Facebook PHILIP – InstagramEmbodiedPresent.comBIO: Philip Shepherd is recognized as a leader in the global embodiment movement. He is the creator of The Embodied Present Process™ (TEPP), which provides both potent insights into how our culture desensitizes the body, and a series of over 150 practices to help people renew their sensitivity to the world and reclaim their calm, centred presence in it. He shares TEPP worldwide through in-person workshops and Facilitators Trainings, and has articulated the need for a new, more embodied way of being in two books: Radical Wholeness and New Self, New World. Both books identify the causes, perils and challenges of our culture's disembodiment. Philip's personal path to embodiment includes a two-year journey as a teenager, during which he traveled alone by bicycle through Europe, the Middle East, Iran, India and Japan. He has also studied classical Japanese Noh Theater; co-founded an interdisciplinary theatre company; written two internationally produced plays and a television documentary; designed and built several houses; co-founded an arts magazine called Onion; played lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago and Toronto; and earned a reputation as a coach, both with individual clients seeking a deeper experience of embodiment, and for corporate clients seeking to improve their presentation skills. He developed TEPP with his co-director and wife Allyson Woodrooffe, who also shares the practices in person. His website and online courses are found at EmbodiedPresent.com. His newest book, Deep Fitness, was co-authored with Andrei Yakovenko and offers a revolutionary and highly effective approach to fitness.PHILIP'S BOOKS: (these links are to Amazon, but all distributed by Random House (yay, Philip!), you can find them in your friendly, neighborhood bookstores)Radical WholenessNew Self, New WorldDeep FitnessOTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS: IAIN McGILCHRIST – websiteILARION MERCULIEFF – Aleut Nation TedTalks: Native KnowingThe Womb at the Center of the UniverseRICHARD LATTIMORE – his translation of The OdysseyNOH THEATRE: A short National Geographic film | A Noh play called Tomoe BYRON ROBINSON: The Abdominal and Pelvic Brain PDF selections | The Abdominal and Pelvic Brain book TANDEM: An introduction to the center of the bodyDENIS CHAGNON - Energy HealerMATT KAHN: Everything is Here to Help You - The book | The video3D Tour of the Perineum

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 25, 2025 is: nomenclature • NOH-mun-klay-cher • noun Nomenclature is a formal word that refers to a system of names that is used in specialized fields and especially in science. Nomenclature is also used more broadly as a synonym of name and designation. // It took Faith, a trained herpetologist, a while to become familiar with the nomenclature used at the entomology conference. See the entry > Examples: “The junior leagues wanted to instill the same type of nomenclature and methods used at the high school varsity level and teach the same type of philosophies.” — Rodger Roeser, Cleveland.com, 25 Nov. 2024 Did you know? Nomenclature has everything to do with names: it can refer to the act of naming, a name itself, and even a system of names—you name it! The term comes to English from the Latin word nōmenclātūra, which means “assigning of names to things.” One may marvel, for instance, at the nomenclature—that is, names—of towns in the United States, from Ninety-Six (South Carolina) to Frankenstein (Missouri). Or one may be required to learn the nomenclature—the system of naming—of a particular branch of science. If nomenclature reminds you of a term you heard in biology class, you know what we mean. Binomial nomenclature refers to a system of nomenclature in which each species of animal or plant receives a name of two terms, of which the first identifies the genus to which it belongs and the second the species itself. For example, the scientific name for humans according to this nomenclature is Homo sapiens.

October 1 marked the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Since its founding, China has made remarkable accomplishments in public health by addressing opium addiction, in the elimination of poverty and in the building of an eco-socialist society. Clearing the FOG speaks with K J Noh, an activist, author and political analyst specializing in Asia. Noh recently wrote "Your Mind Is A Battlefield: Decolonize It To Prevent Global Catastrophe!," which was published in Popular Resistance. Noh describes the Chinese approach of designing policies that benefit everyone, why the West, especially the United States, views China as a threat rather than a partner, and what people in the US can do to counter anti-China propaganda and prevent a global war with China.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 2, 2024 is: extemporaneous • ek-stem-puh-RAY-nee-us • adjective Extemporaneous describes something that is made up or done without special preparation. It is usually used to describe public speaking. // Now a seasoned professional, Abby is no longer unnerved when asked to make the occasional extemporaneous speech. See the entry > Examples: "The show [Shōgun] lovingly conveys all the details of court society: the Noh performance by torchlight, the extemporaneous verse, the calligraphic stroke falling on a blank sheet of paper." — Ryu Spaeth, Vulture, 23 Apr. 2024 Did you know? Extemporaneous, which comes from the Latin phrase ex tempore ("on the spur of the moment"), joined the English language sometime in the mid-17th century. The word impromptu, also from a Latin phrase (in promptu, meaning "in readiness") soon followed. In general usage, extemporaneous and impromptu are used interchangeably to describe off-the-cuff remarks or speeches, but this is not the case when they are used in reference to the learned art of public speaking. Teachers of speech will tell you that an extemporaneous speech is one that has been thoroughly prepared and planned but not memorized, whereas an impromptu speech is one for which absolutely no preparations have been made.
