When Metallica Took Moscow |

The video, part of a concert documentary called For Those About to Rock: Monsters in Moscow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mtilj2gKz0
...captures a nation in the flux of late perestroika. Red Army soldiers have been called in to do crowd control, clashing against a seething sea of concertgoers. The show’s organizers repeatedly come on stage to plead with the crowd to refrain from violence, lest the authorities shut it down. “Remember why we are here,” they say, “to celebrate our victory.” Yet there are also people in army uniforms enjoying the music along with everyone else, flashing devil horns and lolling their tongues as if they’re in need of an exorcism.

Bands that played that day included AC/DC, the Black Crowes, and Pantera. If you’re of a certain age and musical persuasion, it’s oddly touching to see Pantera’s Dimebag Darrell (RIP), replete with a razor-blade necklace, do a stink-face shredding thing on his guitar while lead singer Phil Anselmo screams, “We’re taking over the entire country!” (A riff on the line “We’re taking over this town” from the song “Cowboys From Hell.”) But nothing compares to Metallica galloping on stage, lithe and frizzy-haired, to open their set with “Enter Sandman,” a once ubiquitously annoying song that, in hindsight, was one of America’s most influential cultural exports of the time, inspiring a distinct look that inundated both Eastern Europe and high schools around the world: tattered jeans, greasy locks, black Metallica T-shirt. The response from the crowd in Moscow is joyous havoc, a catharsis years in the making.

Putin Has Upset the Balance of Power |

An interesting perspective from General Flynn
https://gettr.com/post/pzud7t1763
Profound coming from the mind of somebody who knows more about the back channels than just about anybody for the last 20 years. This was obvious based on the initial bombing strike locations corresponding exactly with biolab locations on maps from years prior. Those of us out of the loop can easily see from that an intent of protecting ones sovereignty. Putin even warned of his impending actions for months. The deception and mendacity is astounding #smokescreen The eerie thing is they are probably hiding something much worst in the background of the distraction #pureevil

Researcher finds 'stunning' rate of COVID among deer |

Here's what it means for humans
So how'd the deer catch the coronavirus?
We don't know for sure. Marques admits, "Everything is basically speculation at the moment." So let's speculate.
It's possible there was some form of direct deer-human interaction, perhaps through people feeding the animals. Or maybe the deer drank human wastewater or untreated sewage and picked up circulating coronavirus, though Marques finds that possibility unlikely because the virus isn't typically stable for long periods of time outside the body and because typical wastewater treatment would destroy viral particles. Or perhaps the coronavirus passed through one of the known intermediate animal host species, such as a mink, feral cat or deer mouse.
Are there any possible long-term consequences of the coronavirus in deer?
If history is any guide, the answer is yes. "I can't think of a single zoonotic disease that has established in an animal reservoir in the wild that we have been successful at eradicating," says Barbara Han, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. She wasn't involved with either of the two studies but says the work is critical for assessing human risk. And she isn't surprised by the results.
In fact, in a separate study, to assess spillover probabilities among 5,400 mammals, Han and her team used machine learning to train an algorithm to recognize the characteristics of species whose ACE2 receptors tightly bind the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The algorithm identified over 500 of these species to be possible suspects, including an array of primates, bats, carnivores (such as red foxes and spotted hyenas) and ungulates (such as deer and gazelles).

<div>Looking around the surroundings. Thought this article might prove helpful.
Â
Thinking too much about what you are doing, because you are worried about losing the lead or worrying about failing in general, can lead to "paralysis by analysis." In a nutshell, paralysis by analysis occurs when people try to control every aspect of what they are doing in an attempt to ensure success. Unfortunately, this increased control can backfire, disrupting what was once a fluid, flawless performance.
Â
Meditation and practice can help
Â
Practice helps people navigate through these tosses on life's ocean. But, more importantly, practicing under stress - even a moderate amount - helps a person feel comfortable when they find themselves standing in the line of fire, Beilock said. The experience of having dealt with stress makes those situations seem like old hat. The goal is to close the gap between practice and performance.

China’s AI attorney claims to prosecute crimes ‘with 97% accuracy’ |

Scientists in China have programmed artificial intelligence to identify crimes and press charges “with 97% accuracy,” they claim.
Researchers developed a tool that can assess cases and suggest criminal sentences based on a verbal description, based on a reported 1,000 “traits” sourced from some 17,000 real-life cases from 2015 to 2020, according to the South China Morning Post.
The lex ex machina has already been tested by China’s largest district prosecution office, the Shanghai Pudong People’s Procuratorate, and proved especially well versed in China’s most common criminal acts, such as gambling, reckless driving, theft and fraud. They hope it will soon come to recognize more complex cases.
