Opinion: Why Medical Cannabis Patients Should Stay Away From the Illicit Market

2024.04.12 09:45 growth-industries Opinion: Why Medical Cannabis Patients Should Stay Away From the Illicit Market

According to Office of National Statistics figures, 7.4% of 16- to 24-year-olds and 16.2% of 16- to 59-year-olds in the UK used illegal recreational cannabis in the last year. This use continues to create a negative stigma around a product that, when cultivated in a controlled and regulated way, has the potential to change the landscape of chronic pain management in the UK.
Medicinal producers are now pushing for a broad understanding of their separation from the black market, where recreational users consume a product that is unregulated, unaware of how it has been grown, what has been added to it, or what the effects, positive or otherwise, will be. This is leagues away from the stringent processes and regulations around the cultivation of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis, which is prescribed for specific medicinal reasons. It is vital that we, the legal medicinal cannabis industry, raise awareness of these differences and remain clear on the very different illegal and legal markets.

The pharmaceutical cultivation process – pesticide and chemical free

The starkest difference is the cultivation process. Much like growing any crop, the use of pesticides and chemicals will improve yield. In the UK, there are strict regulations on the use of these substances, to not only protect the plants and vegetation for human consumption, but also deliver benefits to the environment and wildlife.
In illegal cannabis cultivation, there is nothing to stop the use of chemicals, including plant growth regulators, as well as dangerous pesticides to prevent pests, mildew, mold and root disease. While these may enhance the growth of the plant, once cropped and distributed to be consumed, often through smoking, users will be breathing in extremely dangerous carcinogens as well as hydrogen cyanide. These can produce ill-effects on the body and respiratory system.
However, in medicinal cannabis production, cultivators abide by strictly regulated inputs and biological controls for pests, with tight restrictions to ensure the product is medical-grade quality and safe for consumption.
What is often implemented on the black market to reduce pest pressure, to enhance flavor or aroma and produce a higher density of buds and flowers, is all done without harmful chemicals in the medicinal trade.

Expert knowledge and advanced facilities

Experienced medicinal cannabis growers are essential to high quality and consistent production, due to the specific nature of the process. At Dalgety, we bring together industry leaders, regulatory specialists and world leading experts in biochemistry and horticulture to maximize our standards and refine our processes. This coupled with advanced growing facilities and technology is another element of what raises the bar for medicinal cannabis.
Illegal cannabis set ups in the UK are often in spaces, naturally, that are easily hidden rather than prioritizing the quality and safety of the product. This can mean sources of electricity, light, air and water are limited as well as being completely exposed to risks.
At the forefront of medicinal cannabis are the top-level facilities that are used to house and monitor the plants. Some producers use labs, others use greenhouses, but each is a tightly controlled environment that ensures plants can thrive. Technology is also used through the many systems in place, playing a huge role in collecting growth data and graphing the results to help control the space across the year. Growers also use this information to ensure conditions are optimal, rather than leaving it to chance, especially as margins are so tight.
While the illicit market will adopt a certain level of technology and monitor growth, this will not be to the same level, and is likely to produce inaccurate or inconsistent results. What this leads to is a mixed product, with less certainty of the effects for users.

Regulations and consistency

Medicinal cannabis products were legalized in the UK in 2018, making them available on prescription, commonly via private doctors and specialist clinics. Currently, the UK imports the majority of its cannabis-based medicines, but there is a drive to grant licenses that will allow in-country sourcing for improved quality control and traceability.
Achieving a license granted by the Home Office is only done through meeting strict requirements and being inspected by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). This includes regular inspections of the growing facilities and quality controls, as well as many other elements that form an audit of the operation.
Once this license has been granted, UK medicinal cannabis producers must then continue to meet standards, which is why keeping data is hugely important to track the processes. This also means there is transparency for consumers about the product. In the medicinal industry, products need to be consistent, and this means keeping ingredients and conditions the same throughout, so that buyers know what they are getting.
This is not about gut feelings of what is and isn’t a good product to consume, as might be the case on the illicit market. Meeting these requirements is critical to ensuring that medicinal cannabis continues to perform as intended, as a safe and high-quality product.
Dalgety successfully gained its license from the Home Office earlier this year, allowing the business to cultivate and manufacture EU-GMP grade high THC-medicinal cannabis from its state-of-the-art UK-based facility. As more growers come on board, facilitated through the granting of government licenses, the medicinal cannabis industry will continue to grow and with it, help the deplete the chances of users heading to costly, illegal and dangerous black-market alternatives.

2024.04.02 17:39 CoffeeBreakGamerGM (!Full of ending spoilers!) A theory of a lone hero and the power of imagination.

Strap in, you're about to think I'm crazier than Cloud himself.
If I look at it like this, unless I missed something, this would explain the following:
- BONUS How Cloud always being alone as a kid makes sense from an archetypal story telling perspective (For those who want to read through this whole thing) - Why I chose the title of this post - And why I will end on this one too
What is still missing:
I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG THOUGH - THIS IS JUST FOR FUN - AT FIRST THIS MAY COME ACROSS AS COMPLETELY FAR FETCHED
SPOILER ALERT FOR OG FF7 AND THE REMAKE GAMES, ….AND THE MOVIE FIGHT CLUB
.
.
.
.
. As much as these games are about a battle for the planet, I also think it's about a battle for Cloud's broken head. Pretty in character for an FF7 story.
In a way, I think one of the incoming plot twists is Cloud having to go "I'm NOT Tyler Durden". In fact, he already does this at the temple in Rebirth: "I'm not like him! I’ll never be like him!". As if there’s an alt-personality trying to claw its way to the outside.
Little by little, he's letting himself become... the other guy in his head.
I think the multiverse is Cloud's mental illness, straight up. Before you call me crazy instead of Cloud, please consider all the following. Yes it's long, and in a Cait Sith voice: "sorry about that" :)
Healthy people only have 1 world in their subconscious (made of the memories of the real world), but not shattered Cloud.
Cloud invents a new world or travels between them? Rainbows. Like when that bullet got deflected and Zack lived, like when Aerith wakes up after she's killed. Cloud supresses something he can't handle or is mindhacked by Sephiroth? Green glitchy effect.
He sleeps? Can temporarily peer inside one of his many Stamp universes. He needs to focus and not be distracted by his head at Junon? Sees 2 different Stamps. Real one eyes open. Fake one eyes closed saying temporarily closed.
Cloud's SUBCONSCIOUS is the MOST IMPORTANT PART of OG FF7's big reveal. The game's final boss even takes place in there (at least it's always been implied if I remember correctly - so let's go with that)
How OG FF7 ends in a battle inside Cloud's subconscious, here it's in all 3 games. Each remake game ends in a final boss inside Cloud's subconscious. Trust me we'll get there. Yes these battles serve a big story purpose, not just meant to be cool.
OG FF7's Cloud subconscious, Tifa fixes him scene: A void, with many worlds in the background, and a rift in the sky (because his entire illness is about to go away, not just one little world in it).
A normal healthy person only has 1 inner "world" made of memories. Aerith has the power to send memories through these "worlds" (souls, minds). They all die when meteor strikes? Sephiroth/Jenova merges all that energy at the crater. The reunion of "worlds" = complete life extinction. Where Jenova has reassembled. Sephiroth thinking of people's souls as "worlds" to merge is pretty damn creepy and evil by the way. Also in character with OG Sephiroth.
Aerith is an Ancient. I have a hunch that she has the power to use memories as a postal service (lol) through the lifestream (Marlene). Even contact people's subconscious while they sleep (Cloud garden dream scene just as one example - while Cloud sees the lifestream there - AKA the telepathy telephone service).
Sephiroth too has these abilities. Like in the OG - he was a traveler of the lifestream before his soul came back.
The lifestream has that ability. For example, the river of the Gi where her hand touches the lifestream. I think it's foreshadowing. I think Aerith is subtly sensing Cloud's subconscious. Tifa will do it FULLY in part 3 at Mideel.
Now.... Why Cloud's subconscious? What? Where does Sephiroth fit in in all of this?
Sephiroth's body is broken. Stuck north. Spirit finds his way to Cloud's head, a perfect new body and the perfect puppet. Tyler Durden is now trying to control our narrator from within, trying to take the whole being over.
Jup. Cloud is slowly becoming Sephiroth. Fight Club style.
Jenova heads north, Cloud heads north = Sephiroth heads north. Cloud carries Sephiroth with him.
Cloud is the carrier device.
Sephiroth's spirit lives in Cloud's head, trying to gain control over this broken person. He exists between all the worlds Cloud made up.
Trying to kill each Aerith in each of his fragmented worlds in search for the TRUE white materia power... I'll get to it why Cloud has the white materia memory of Holy in his head in a second.
Aerith is an ancient connected to the lifestream. Who can contact or visit other people's worlds. Who is connected to the whispers, so she knows about destined events, appearing as if she has foresight. Appears as she can see the future. Can sometimes visit peoples heads. Transfer memories between people's hidden worlds. Visiting Cloud's dream when she's trapped at the Shinra building, or uses Marlene as a postal service to warn Cloud about his own illness. This will also become important soon.
Why does Sephiroth kill each Aerith in Cloud's shattered multiverse? Because at that point, Cloud holds both the black and the white materia memories in his subconscious. AND because she's the one who tries the hardest to make Cloud not focus on Sephiroth and cure him. Sephiroth is the virus in his mind, and Aerith is the white blood cells. Virus attacks the white blood cells if it wants a chance of survival.
Huh? What the hell was that last paragraph about?
Strap in, here we go down the rabbit hole.
Let's trace the white and black materia ORBS and the MEMORIES they contain. Let's assume Sephiroth is in Cloud's subconscious trying to get control over Cloud's body. Let's assume that like in the OG game, Cloud's subconscious is the core of the hero's story.
We will also have to assume the Remake Part 1 whispers are tied to the planet's destiny, and that they keep Holy and Meteor together in the same world. A balance not easily broken.
With all of the above in mind, let's start tracing these orbs and the memories in them.
At the start of remake part 1, Jenova and Sephiroth don't know where the black materia is. But Cloud meets Aerith. So Sephiroth meets Aerith. So Sephiroth knows where the white materia is. Which is how he can get the black one.
Grey whispers maintain one destiny. Keep the black and white materia powers in 1 realm together. Sephiroth outsmarts them. At the end of the highway, he gets Aerith to enter the realm where Sephiroth lives: Cloud's subconscious. She brings the white materia memory. The whispers keep the balance and bring the black materia memory. Checkmate. Sephiroth absorbs Meteor memory, Holy memory appears behind him.
Sephiroth absorbs the whispers and makes them black. Destiny broken. The materias are now allowed to be separated. Time to create a world with just the black materia in it!
Sephiroth now holds the black memory power in between Cloud's worlds. Does not have the black ORB yet.
They all wake up at the highway. Final battle PART 1 in Cloud's subconscious is over.
The "date world" in Cloud's head is the one that got blasted by a giant white light at the end of Remake, and is where Zack first "lived again". Where the white memory is stored. Sephiroth better get his hands on it when he eventually sends back the black memory to the real black orb. Goes on an Aerith hunt inside the "multiverse" to find it.
Now the temple is presumed empty, and Aerith's orb is FOR SURE empty too.
Cloud and Aerith go BOTH unconscious at the temple of the ancients, where now the black empty orb has manifested (OG game story - doubtful they changed that). We do have to assume Cloud got his hands on it in this state when he fell. The EMPTY black orb. The people in the helicopter saw a purple mist - nothing else. Everything in that scene looks like another one of those Jenova illusions because of that.
Aerith visits Cloud's subconscious. In one of his "worlds". In his "date" world, where he kept the memory of Holy, he receives the white memory. Sephiroth came in too late, but he got close.
Sephiroth messes with Cloud in the full void of his subconscious. The "multiverse" reveal. Sephiroth talking to Cloud (inside Sephiroth's new "home").
When Cloud enters the "forest" world in his head, Sephiroth is pissed off when he notices the white memory held by Cloud. Tries to get it with black whispers. Fails.
Cloud then gives it to the real Aerith in the "forest world" in his head. She wakes up - exits Cloud's subconscious again. Cloud wakes up later. Aerith has now effectively retrieved the white memory from the carrier mind back into the real world. Which is a power Ancients tend to have by the way, to infuse materia orbs with memories.
Now cut to what Marlene told Zack for a moment. Right. Aerith has awakened again. She awoke from Cloud's subconscious and went with the white materia to the altar. Cloud almost saves her, but he doesn't.
Now in the real world we have an empty black orb in Cloud's pocket. A full white one in Aerith's ribbon. Jenova does NOT want a world with only the white one, WHITE MATERIA ALERT! KILL AERITH!
Jenova sends Sephiroth (black memory pending) to keep the party from reaching Aerith, Cloud makes it through, but Jenova kills Aerith. White one lost forever. (Will turn green though, OG game stuff)
Final fight, back to Cloud's subconscious where Sephiroth tries to finish the job, after Jenova got defeated. Aerith's spirit is on her way to the lifestream, takes a few moments to help both her boyfriends. Zack gets a Flower Force Field, and Cloud gets a 2v1 battle against Sephiroth. She dissolves into the lifestream.
Aerith now ready to command the lifestream at the end of FF7: OG Remake trilogy.
They all wake up at the altar. Final battle PART 2 in Cloud's subconscious is over.
Cloud starts, as he always does when he can't handle reality, inventing other realities. Seeing "creepy Aerith" by the water.
Later in a field, Cloud looks at the clear orb he has. Puts it back in his pocket. Pulls something out. Red glint in his eyes as if "something on the inside" is looking through Cloud at the outside world, BLACK FULL MATERIA.
As if Sephiroth, from inside his head, just performed the final memory transfer, transferred the black memory back into the orb. Where it always was since the highway.
Cloud then talks to "Aerith". The FINAL-FINAL conversation. The conversation AFTER Red XIII senses "her".
Her "final" "out of nowhere" appearance. Red glint in her eyes. Making sure he goes north. The girl who always told him not to focus on Sephiroth and piece himself together. Nope! YOU PROMISE to go NORTH?
Time to head north. Black materia headed to the crater. Jenova headed to the crater. Cloud/Sephiroth headed to the crater.
When tracing the materias, and when assuming Cloud is the "carrier" subconscious, it appears the materias are FULLY traceable - Except how Cloud got the clear black one, that all happened while he was unconscious after WHAT LOOKED LIKE a massive Jenova style hallucination - ABOVE the pit where in the OG the orb forms - I doubt they could suddenly "walk on air".
And with all this in mind, Stamp gets an explanation too. Each inner world has a Stamp. The real word has one too. When we see 2 Stamps together, the one from the alt universe says it's not accessible at the moment - Cloud is focused on reality.
As for how Zack and Biggs are in Cloud's head, well this would also establish a person's subconscious can act as a temporary place to stay before dissolving into the lifestream. Like what Aerith does in the final battle of Rebirth.
What about Marlene? She’s not dead, so she can’t be a spirit "passing through" Cloud’s subconscious on her way to the lifestream.
But Aerith at the bar “gave her something” We already know it was the information on how important it is for Cloud to get better. I think Aerith gave her some of those “talk to flowers – telepathy” powers. End of Remake: Marlene looks at flowers and says “Daddy?” Cut to Barret reaching out to the city going “Marlene”. As if he senses her.
I think Marlene is telepathically trying to speak to Cloud to get better in the white memory date world. Marlene is still alive in the real Midgar, “praying” through Aerith’s flowers. Brilliant move Aerith, brilliant move… 😊
As for Sephiroth's motivations? Doing what Jenova wants, but trying to checkmate Jenova in the final moment when Meteor succeeds.
I think Sephiroth's soul needs a FULL new body. A poetic parallel with how a materia works. Tyler Durden trying to gain control of the whole narrator from within.
Cloud is the orb, Sephiroth is the memory. He'll never be "just" a memory. That's not enough. The memory needs the orb. Sephiroth needs Cloud.
Heck, it is the most important element in this world on how spiritual energy inhabits physical matter.
Jenova heads north where all the "worlds" will unite (when everybody dies). Sephiroth, attempting a final checkmate by gaining full control over his new body (Cloud). And instead of letting Jenova have the power of all "worlds" (all minds) - take it for himself. Jenova will fail since the meteor will be stopped. So Sephiroth will fail too.
"I will not end - nor will I have you end" = I will remain and claim that power instead of being a casualty of it - and I need my new puppet body too. "I'm like a memory that I don't want to end" and "You are the orb Cloud and I need you too".
His plan? One final memory transfer. The merged spiritual essence of all those worlds (minds) should not be consumed by Jenova at the critical moment. Like a memory transfer, Sephiroth rathers has it all for himself. Puppet carrier body intact, the rest can die for all he cares. And inside the puppet body of Sephiroth's (that used to be Cloud's) subconscious, the combined merged "worlds" of all souls, ready to be used as a god-power to reach into infinity. Completey fine with how lonely that is.
Now listen to his temple of the ancients speech right before the Demon Gate battle. Makes a lot of sense all of a sudden.
Sephiroth absorbing all souls into his new home. A homecoming.
And since all 3 games have an end boss inside Cloud's subconscious, we need one more final battle. Cloud vs Sephiroth.... Inside Cloud's subconscious. Final battle PART 3 finished. Final boss of OG finished.
Next up:
Advent Children
And as promised, for those who took the time to read this. Cloud was always the loner. Never had much friends. Always the outcast. What do kids do in such a situation?
I can imagine (lol) he has "the power of imagination". NOT fine with being lonely (unlike Sephiroth huh? :D Aaaahh good vs evil, always a good story). Invents worlds where he's not an outcast. Wanting to be a SOLDIER, where everyone thinks he's the hero in the grander story. The power of imagination!
How poetic :)
When Zack dies, that got corrupted. Many doomed worlds. Very ill Cloud.
Hey Tifa, can you fix him?
Can this poor boy finally become the archetypal hero in the grand story?
I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG THOUGH -
What do you think?

2024.03.03 18:31 3eemo Safety Pamphlet for Memory Based Virtual Reality

This PSA is meant to educate you children on the important work of ComSec! First some basics: when you put on your Interfacers how come you can feel things that aren’t there? The things you see in virtual reality, the pretty flowers and trees that aren’t really there but give you shade and smell so wonderful, how can they do that if you’re just wearing glasses?
The answer is well, simple!
Everything you see in the virtual plane is made of memories!
People spend a good long while, smelling, touching, holding even tasting certain things. And all the little nanobots that are in their brains your brains and my brains can make us expeirence their memories whenever we interact with something in meta-versal space!
When you touch a tree for example in the meta plane your actually experiencing the memory of the creator who touched the thing in real life. Pretty neat huh?
And usually you don’t even feel anything you just remember that you do.
But having someone else memories in your head too long can be quite dangerous.
That’s why ComSec recommends one period of recoherence each night. Just turn on the night cycle in your Interfacer settings.
Your device will use the record of all the memories you’ve been taking in as you’ve been busy enjoying virtual space and nullify them.
That way when you wake up, you wont remember any of the feelings or sensations you had in meta-versal space the day before, but you will remember what you did and the fun you had!
Keeping your memory coherent is a vital step to ensuring good brain health, and its also the law!
Now that you children understand the basics of memory based virtual reality, its time to discuss when things go wrong.
Usually when you put on your Interfacers whatever you see is made up of thousands of traceable memories from many different people. If there isn’t enough memory from enough people in something, it disappears.
But sometimes when folks take drugs, stay up late, or do other things that push their minds to the limit hallucinations happen. Keep in mind children there’s sick music out there that contains frequencies that cause your nanobots to make you see certain things!
These hallucinations children can be very real and cause those experiencing them to have false memories. Memories that not even a good cycle can get rid of!
If they keep remembering something that’s not there their nanobots will make it more and more real to them. They’ll feel it, expeirence it, see it. Sometimes folks brains create false memories of whole life times just to explain why a hallucination, or as we call it children, delusion exists. And it shouldn’t matter if one person really remembers something but what happens children is these people become so convinced of what they’re seeing that they start to convince others. At a certain points the bots in their head change their voices so they’ll contain frequencies that make other bots respond so people will believe them more.
And that’s how delusions spread, kinda like how myths or urban legends used to.
But if enough people believe in a delusion in a small enough area, like say a single house, then the fabric of the meta verse breaks. The false reality, with all the fake memories needed to believe in it completely cover everything in that part of virtual space so that anyone who enters there enters a new realm where that falsehood exists, completely separate from the rest of reality.
In those cases, its up to ComSec warriors to use their memory mapping technologies and training to enter these false realities and find the source of the delusion from the brain of the person who first believed it, that way it can be stopped.
Children be warned:
Sometimes they’ll make you see things that are only there for a second, don’t acknowledge them! It only takes one false belief to start a cycle!
Sometimes they’ll promise fun forever if you’ll just pretend you see something for them, its a trap!
Sometimes the delusion spreaders can get your mommy and daddy too- if you see your parents eyes getting big and then very small a lot and you see them making a lot of weird faces please dial 911!
Do not consume any music in CD or vinyl pressings that can contain bot-altering signals!
Do not consume hallucinogenic drugs! When in doubt please use your Interfacer’s direct record feature, if still in doubt please use film cameras if available
If you find yourself lost in a delusion and still have awareness find a closet, close your eyes or find some space where you wont see hear or feel anything that will further draw you in
Apologies for typos. I just thought I’d have some fun explaining my system using an in-world voice

2024.02.29 09:47 CtzTree The Unofficial Proof Of The Collatz Conjecture Including Examples

The Collatz Conjecture
Consider the following operation on an arbitrary positive integer:
If the number is even, divide it by two.
If the number is odd, triple it and add one.
Now form a sequence by performing this operation repeatedly, beginning with any positive integer, and taking the result at each step as the input at the next.
The Collatz conjecture is: This process will eventually reach the number 1, regardless of which positive integer is chosen initially.
[Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture]


I am certain I can prove that the Collatz Conjecture is true, even though no mathematicians will believe me.
I have had several posts on this topic deleted from multiple websites and have been banned from posting three times on math.stackexchange.com.
That can not be done by one person, it takes numerous different people to agree, for that to happen.
The mathematics community has not contributed and has been more of a hinderance than a help, so I have had to solve The Collatz Conjecture without them.
It would be very embarrassing for the mathematics community if I am correct.
Unfortunately the attitude and actions of a minority in the mathematics community tarnish the entire community.
These comments are directed more towards those who dismiss ideas without any consideration and stifle progress. It is not aimed at everyone.

The funny thing is, if I publish this online only and it is correct, and also the only way to prove the conjecture.
Then nobody will be able to publish it in any journal without plagiarising my findings. It could forever remain unofficial.
Not having a proof will not prevent any practical civilian applications, further research or such, from using the equations and methods, for any useful purposes.
Since I am not a professional academic, I see no benefit in publishing a paper in a journal. Not that any journal would accept it, as is, anyway.
For a solution to a problem like The Collatz Conjecture, it will not matter that it does not have an official proof.
If you find any of it useful do with it what you will, other than have it published in a journal.
Never having this officially published, shall be the mathematics community’s punishment, for standing in the way of this solution.



The Unofficial Proof Of The Collatz Conjecture Including Examples

The entire Collatz Tree can be defined by these Equations.
C(x,0) = 3x+1 For odd x > 0, For n = 0
c(x,n) = x*2^n For odd x > 0, For n ≥ 0

Where:
x is any positive odd number, from x = 1 to Infinity, and
n is any positive integer from n = 0 to infinity.

I will use D to represent any number on the Collatz Tree, as given by the above equations.

C(x,0) Describes the connection between a new branch and an existing branch. It maps branches into place.
It does not generate new numbers it merely provides a connection between numbers when n equals 0.

c(x,n) Describes all branches and can produce every real positive integer. It generates the numbers D.
Each branch grows in length at a rate of 2x. Each branch starts with an odd number that double until infinity.
All branches attach to the tree at the odd base number and then extend indefinitely at the other end without reattaching anywhere else.

c(x,n) Can be used to create entire branches by setting x to an odd number then iterating through n for every positive integer.
x can then be increased to a new odd value and the next branch created and so on until every odd number has been used for x.
In practical terms it is not possible to generate an infinite number of branches that are infinite in length.
To know why the conjecture is true, it must be thought through, to understand how the Collatz Tree works.

The Collatz Tree is another way of defining all positive real numbers, in this case D.
In much the same way as all positive real numbers can be defined by the union of all odd numbers with all even numbers.
The positive real numbers can also be defined by the union of all values on all branches of the Collatz Tree.

It is possible to create different variations of the collatz tree by varying the equations and the limits of the defining equations.
If the rules were changed to: If a number is odd add 1, if a number is even halve it.
C(x,0) = 3x+1 would be changed to C(x,0) = x+1 and different branch connections would occur, the branches would still contain the same numbers.

The Collatz Tree refers to the specify case where:
C(x,0) = 3x+1 and c(x,n) = x*2^n
Changing the functions would produce a different Tree.
A more generalised tree function can be described as having two pieces.
A mapping equation and a number generating equation.

Changing the limits of the tree allows entire branches to be removed and the tree can be started from any value, it does not have to start from 1.
When you start changing values and formulas in the Collatz Tree functions, it becomes apparent these equations can be used to do more than just solve The Collatz Conjecture.
The equations and methods create an entire new mathematical tool set that could have far reaching applications.
The discovery of these new mathematical methods is much more exciting than just determining whether the Collatz Conjecture is true or false.
The equations could be made to contain sin, cos and log functions, number sets or complex numbers and such functions could then be integrated and differentiated.
Instead of using linear algebra and calculating with 1 or 2 lines at a time, it could be possible, to calculate using infinitely many lines at the same time.



How To Determine All Branches On The Collatz Tree.

Branches only ever start at odd numbers, take any even integer keep halving it and eventually you will end up with an odd number.
That odd number is the start of a new branch.
Conversely, every odd number can be doubled, the new even number can then also be doubled until infinity.
The halving and doubling is described by 2x, multiple halving and doubling is described by x*2^n
Where x is the odd number at the start of the branch and n is the number of doubling cycles.

Branches: 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, 57 and so on, will not sprout any further branches.
The reason why the 3 branch has no further branches.
Every multiple of 3 is also divisible by 3.
For any number that is divisible by 3, take away 1 and it will no longer be divisible by 3.
The same is true for any number that is divisible by 3 and then has 1 added.
3x+1 can not equal 3y for any positive integers.
3x-1 can not equal 3y for any positive integers.

Every branch on the Collatz Tree starts with an odd number and
every number on any branch can be expressed in the form:
D = a*2^n
Set "a" to an odd number, then iterate n from 0 to infinity and you will create the "a" branch
The value "a" is valid for all odd numbers from 1 to infinity.
When n = 0, D will be the odd number at the base of the branch.
When n = 1, D will be the first even number in the branch.
n is essentially the number of steps along the branch.
Finding the total number of steps between a number and 1 is a cumulative process.
It involves adding up the number of steps from the base of each branch to where a new branch attaches and doing so for each branch on the tree up to the number D.
The task is made easier since, the exponent n part of a*2^n, gives the value up to that point in a branch.

For a given value of a, branches on the Collatz Tree form under 2 patterns.
When either all values of n are even or all values of n are odd.
n follows either pattern:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, ...
or
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, ...

For branches where the base number "a" is on the line 6x-1, values of n will be odd.
For branches where the base number "a" is on the line 6x+1, values of n will be even.
If a number sits on the lines 6x-3 or 6x+3 (both describe the same numbers), it will not have any branches.

These are the number lines and the values for which they are valid.
6x-1 x = 1 to infinity
6x+1 x = 0 to infinity
6x+3 x = 0 to infinity or 6x-3 x = 1 to infinity
Each line provides values for every third odd number, together they cover all odd numbers.
All other numbers, (i.e. even numbers) are either outputted from 3x+1 for odd values of x,
or are on the line 2x and will not form any new branches.

When any positive integer D is resolved to a*2^n form.
a will be the branch that number D is on. "a" will equate to step 0 on any branch
n will be the count of, even number, steps along the branch until D.
n = 1 will describe step 1 on any branch. n = 0 will describe step 0 on any branch


Example 1: Set "a" to 1, to have c(1,n) = 1*2^n.
1 sits on the line 6x+1 when x = 0.
Branches will form at even values of n.
c(1,0) = 1*2^0 = 1
c(1,2) = 1*2^2 = 4
c(1,4) = 1*2^4 = 16
c(1,6) = 1*2^6 = 64
c(1,8) = 1*2^8 = 256
c(1,10) = 1*2^10 = 1024

Take each value of c(1,n) from above, then use c(1,n) = C(x,0) = 3x+1 to reverse the process and find x.
To find the new branch numbers, take the above values minus 1 then divide by 3.
x = (D-1)/3
x = (4-1)/3 = 1
x = (16-1)/3 = 5
x = (64-1)/3 = 21
x = (256-1)/3 = 85
x = (1024-1)/3 = 341

To find where 1 branch attaches to an existing branch use C(x,0) = 3x+1
C(1,0) = 3x1+1 = 4
Resolve 4 to a*2^n form
4 = 1x2^2
4 is the second even step on the 1 branch. 1 loops back onto the 1 branch.

1 is a special case, it can either be shown to connect to 4 or, if the tree ends at 1 it can be left open ended.
My preference is that the tree stops at 1 and therefore 1 will be left open ended and not connect to 4.
The same method can be used to show that 0 attaches to the 1 branch, shown as c(1,0).
0 will only give an integer value on the 1 branch it will not apply to other branches.
If the tree is defined to stop at 1, the 1-0 and 1-4 connections can be considered beyond the limits of the tree.

1 has some properties that other numbers do not have. It has these unique properties:
when a=1
a*n = n
a*n^a = n
a^n = a
2a = a+1
It is a combination of 2a = a+1 when a number decreases by half and a*n = n when a number increases by 3x+1,
that allows the 1-4 loop to form.
This is why a loop occurs, it does not occur for any other value of a, other than 1.


Example 2: Set "a" to 3, to have c(3,n) = 3*2^n.
3 sits on the line 6x+3 when x = 0.
It will not have any branches it will only grow by 2x.

To find where 3 branch attaches to an existing branch use C(x,0) = 3x+1.
C(3,0) = 3x3+1 = 10
Resolve 10 to a*2^n form
10 = 5x2^1
10 is the first even value on the 5 branch.


Example 3: Set "a" to 5, to have c(5,n) = 5*2^n.
5 sits on the line 6x-1 when x = 1.
Branches will form at odd values of n.
c(5,1) = 5*2^1 = 10
c(5,3) = 5*2^3 = 40
c(5,5) = 5*2^5 = 160
c(5,7) = 5*2^7 = 640
c(5,9) = 5*2^9 = 2560

To find the new branch numbers take the above values minus 1 then divide by 3.
x = (10-1)/3 = 3
x = (48-1)/3 = 13
x = (160-1)/3 = 53
x = (640-1)/3 = 213
x = (2560-1)/3 = 853

To find where 5 branch attaches to an existing branch use C(x,0) = 3x+1.
C(5,0) = 3x5+1 = 16
Resolve 16 to a*2^n form
16 = 1x2^4
16 is the fourth even value on the 1 branch.


Example 4: A larger example using an even number, use D = 20,988
Resolve D = 20988 to a*2^n form
The number is even so dividing by 2, gives 10,494
The new number is still even so divide by 2 again, gives 5,247
Set "a" to 5,247 to have D = c(5247,n) = 5247*2^n
Solve for n
20,988 = 5,247*2^n
n = log (20,988/5,247) / log (2) = 2
20,988 = 5,247*2^2
20,988 is the second even value on the 5,247 branch.

5,247 sits on the line 6x+3 when x = 874.
It will not have any branches it will only grow by 2x.


Example 5: Using a larger odd value. Set "a" to 109, to have c(109,n) = 109*2^n.
1 sits on the line 6x+1 when x = 18.
Branches will form at even values of n.
c(109,2) = 109*2^2 = 436
c(109,4) = 109*2^4 = 1,744
c(109,6) = 109*2^6 = 6,976
c(109,8) = 109*2^8 = 27,904
c(109,10) = 109*2^10 = 111,616

To find the new branch numbers take the above values minus 1 then divide by 3.
x = (436-1)/3 = 145
x = (1,744-1)/3 = 581
x = (6,976-1)/3 = 2,325
x = (27,904-1)/3 = 9,301
x = (111,616-1)/3 = 37,205


Example 6: A multi branch example, Resolving 109 to 1.
To find the branch 109 attaches to:
Use C(x,0) = 3x+1.
C(109,0) = 109*3 + 1 = 328
328 is even so divide by 2 = 164
164 is even so divide by 2 = 82
82 is even so divide by 2 = 41
109 branches off from the 41 branch.

To find the branch 41 attaches to:
C(41,0) = 41*3 + 1 = 124
124 is even so divide by 2 = 62
62 is even so divide by 2 = 31
41 branches off from the 31 branch.

The process will continue on until 1 is reached, so far we have gone from:
109-328-164-82-41-124-62-31
At this point it is worth noting that:
82-41-124-62-31
Is part of a known sequence for 27 on the Collatz Tree defined as A008884 in the OEIS.
From 82 until 1 the sequences are the same, so I will cease the process here.

A known sequence from the Collatz Tree for 27 is given as:
27, 82, 41, 124, 62, 31, 94, 47, 142, 71, 214, 107, 322, 161, 484, 242, 121, 364, 182, 91, 274, 137, 412, 206, 103, 310, 155, 466, 233, 700, 350, 175, 526, 263, 790, 395, 1186, 593, 1780, 890, 445, 1336, 668, 334, 167, 502, 251, 754, 377, 1132, 566, 283, 850, 425, 1276, 638, 319, 958, 479, 1438, 719, 2158, 1079, 3238, 1619, 4858, 2429, 7288, 3644, 1822, 911, 2734, 1367, 4102, 2051, 6154, 3077, 9232, 4616, 2308, 1154, 577, 1732, 866, 433, 1300, 650, 325, 976, 488, 244, 122, 61, 184, 92, 46, 23, 70, 35, 106, 53, 160, 80, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
(sequence A008884 in the OEIS).



In summary, to determine where branches will form for a given "a" branch.

Resolve a number D into a*2^n form or choose an odd number x for any branch and use the equation:
D = c(x,n) = x*2^n

Determine which number line "a" is on ("a" refers to any specific odd value of variable x)
If "a" is divisible by 3 it will not have any branches.
Depending on the number line, use either odd or even values of n in c(x,n)

Take any odd number "a" and put it into the below equations to find x:
a = 6x-1 => x = (a+1)/6
a = 6x+1 => x = (a-1)/6
a = 6x+3 => x = (a-3)/6
=> is used to show "a" as a function of x, rearranged into x as a function of "a".
Only one of the three equations will be valid, the one which produces a positive integer value for x is valid,
the other two will produce a fraction or decimal.
The equation that is valid will determine which process is used to find branches.

If a is on the line 6x+1 set x to a and use even values of n in:
c(x,n) = x*2^n
Odd values of n will give the values between even values of n.
Branches attach to every second even number on these branches, beginning from an exponent of n = 2

If a is on the line 6x-1 set x to a and use odd values of n in:
c(x,n) = x*2^n
Even values of n will give the values between odd values of n.
Branches attach to every second even number on these branches, beginning from an exponent of n = 1

If a is on the line 6x+3 there will not be any further branches.

To determine where the "a" branch attaches to an existing branch set x to "a" and solve for D.
D = c(x,n) = C(x,0) = 3x+1
D will then become the value where the "a" child branch attaches to the parent branch.

Exponential numbers get very large very quickly, at some point you may find your calculator is no longer able to help you.
At some point you may want to start using a spreadsheet. Beyond that point you will need to start programming.
These very large numbers are not even close to infinity.



Basic Properties Of The Collate Tree:
Every branch starts with an odd number at its base, every other number on that branch is even.
The base of a branch attach to another branch once and only once.
Branches connect to other branches via the function C(x,0) = 3x+1.
Branches grow in length via the function c(x,n) = x*2^n.
Every number on the Collatz Tree occurs once and only once.
Every real positive integer is on the Collatz Tree.
Multiplying an odd number by 3x+1 brings the number one branch closer to the 1 branch.
Dividing an even number by 2 brings the number one step closer to the 1 branch.
All branches on the Collatz Tree are infinite in length and grow at a rate of 2x.
There are as many branches on the Collatz Tree as there are odd numbers.
Any branch that starts with a number which is a multiple of 3, will not produce any child branches.
For branches that produce child branches, every second step on the branch will produce a child branch, using either odd or even numbered steps.
The Collatz Tree is a tree with an infinite number of branches, where each branch is infinite in length.



A logical, reasoning and uncommon sense approach.

Let's assume the collatz tree starts at its base of 1 and grows upwards from there, the same way trees normally grow.
Every branch has one odd number at its base and that is the only odd number the branch will have, all other numbers will be even.
New branches can only form where an odd number attaches to an even number on an existing branch, as governed by 3x+1.
When you input an odd number into 3x+1 you get an even number outputted. Only odd numbers are inputted into 3x+1.
Every odd number can be inputted so you can determine to which even number, every odd number will attach.
3x+1 is linear and will have only 1 solution, so every odd number can be inputted once,
and can only connect to 1 even number which will be on an existing branch.

An odd number must connect to 2 even numbers, one given by multiplying by 3 and adding 1, and the other by doubling the odd number.
An odd number can not connect to another odd number, there is no mechanism for that to happen.
The only exception to this is 1, if the tree stops at 1 then 1 can be left open ended, otherwise 1 will connect to 2 and 4.
It depends on how the limits of the Collatz Tree are define as to whether 1 and 4 form a loop, technically they do in a way, though they don't have to.

An even number will connect to two numbers through 2x, one by halving and one by doubling.
It can either halve to an even number and double to an even number, or half to an odd number and double to an even number.
When an even number is outputted from 3x+1 then that even number can be reduced to the odd number x at the start a new branch by halving.
Branches will grow until infinity, they will not connect again to another branch unless all branches somehow merge at infinity.
Every number must appear on the Collatz tree and no number can appear more than once.
Every number on the tree can be uniquely defined by x*2^n,
which is essentially a prime number factorisation with 2 separated out, and all odd prime numbers multiplied together.
If you iteratively set x to every odd number and iterate n from 0 to infinity for each, you will produce every positive real integer.

Every number can be accounted for as being connected to the tree, there is no potential for infinite loops or isolated branches to occur.
Every time an odd number is put into 3x+1 and converted into an even number,
it moves onto a branch that is one branch closer to the 1 branch and since it becomes even, it will reduce closer to 1 by halving.

The only thing that really needs to be considered is the odd numbers at the base of the branches.
All even numbers on a branch will halve and eventually be reduced to the odd number at the base of the branch.
If a number is on the nth branch away from the 1 branch, then when it is multiplied by 3 and 1 added,
the even number that results will be on the branch n-1 branches away from the 1 branch.
When any odd number goes into 3x+1 it become closer to 1. This happens every time.
In much the same way that every time an even number is halved it becomes a step closer to 1.

If starting the tree from the base at 1 and then growing it up, the collatz rules need to be reversed to: times by 2 or take 1 and divide by 3.
Otherwise the tree will not grow any higher than four, multiply by 3x+1 to get four and it will reduce down again.
Not every even number on a branch will follow the take 1 and divide by 3 process, as some don't form new branch connection, so this method is not preferred.
The preferred method is to build the tree branch by branch.

Let's take a look at what would happen if instead of 3x+1 the rule was 100x+1.
Halve a number if it is even and times by 100 and add 1 if it is odd.
What we find is we can divide by 2 for two steps and then hit a number ending in 5, where we have to multiply by 100 and add 1.
This creates a pattern of last digits of 0-0-5 which repeats over and over.
The result is a series of numbers that gets larger and larger.

If we try other different rules.
20x+1: Get the same pattern as 100, 0-0-5 and numbers end up increasing.
7x+1: Never goes down only goes up, pattern of 1-7-9-3-1 never contains any even numbers and so can never reduce by halving.
5x+1: Never goes down only goes up, ends up in a pattern of repeating 5's like 1-5-5-5
Whether a numbers can always go down depends on whether a number can get stuck in a loop of odd last digits.
If a number gets stuck in a loop of odd last digits, it can only ever get larger from there.

For a number to go down, there always needs to be branches that connect to a 2^n branch, to allow a number to eventually halve.
The Collatz Tree has infinitely many instances where 3x+1 = 2^n and those are the only points at which branches attach to the 1*2^n branch.
Every branch can have its origin traced back to a value on the 1 branch 1*2^n.
It is a fundamental part of the c(x,n) = x*2^n definition which means every number will be able to decrease under the rules of the Collatz Conjecture to 1.
Every number appears on the Collatz Tree and every number will have an origin traceable to the 1*2^n branch, which is the main trunk of the Collatz Tree.

If we look only at the last digit of a number, that gets multiplied by 3x+1 for every possible odd number.
We find that every odd number gets turned into an even number and that even number will then reduce by halving.
The last digit and the new last digit after multiplying by 3x+1:
1: 1 -> 4
3: 3 -> 0
5: 5 -> 6
7: 7 -> 2
9: 9 -> 8
For a loop to form a number chain would have to form into an infinite loop of odd numbers only,
or the rate of growth would have to be greater than the rate of decline.
Since every odd number eventually turns into an even number and halves it is not possible for loops to form.
What this means is that every time an odd number get multiplied by 3x+1 it moves to a new branch and gets a step closer to 1.
The even number that it becomes, will then halve, getting another step closer to 1.
Every odd number maps to an even number so it is not possible for an odd number to get further away from 1 via 3x+1.
This may sound counter intuitive at first, it might be expected that when an odd number becomes a bigger even number, it should get further away from 1.
That is not the case at all. The value of the number is not what determines how far away from 1 a number is.
It is actually the number of branches away from the 1 branch and the number of steps a number is along a branch that determines how far away from 1 the number is.

It is highly unlikely, that the Collatz Tree will have any flowers or any fruit, attached to any of its branches.
It is just about as likely to have any loops. Where 1 can attach to 4 is the exception not the precedent.

All branches on the Collatz Tree extend to infinity, though they do so under the rules of the conjecture via doubling.
It is not possible to prove, an infinite branch is not infinite, because it is infinite.



I would find it humourous, if one engineer could individually solve a maths problem,
that the entire mathematics community, could not collectively solve in over 8 decades.
Even after they were given the solution to the problem several times and especially when the solution isn't all that difficult.
Once the realisation of how it all works sets in, it will be hard to understand why no one has figured it out sooner.
It may be worth bearing in mind the possibility, I could actually be right. If I were wrong my solutions would not work.
At least I do have some background in mathematics, enough to know this is not what a proof would normally look like.
The mathematics community had multiple chances to contribute and chose not to help, so this is what you get, it is what it is, like it or not.

The principle is simple, build the Collatz Tree from the base up one branch at a time.
It takes a bit of problem solving and reasoning but the mathematics isn't difficult.
You do not need to be a mathematician to understand it.

Giving the mathematics community the solution to Collatz is like giving cave men instructions on how to build a computer.
They have no idea what it means, don't know what to do with it and will just end up destroying any evidence of it.
I am no longer puzzled as to why such a simple problem has not yet been solved, it is now clear to me why that is.
It is a mathematics problem wrapped inside an attitude problem.
It is easier just to delete a post even if it the content is correct, rather than methodically work through and debate the details.
Moderators must be held to account if they delete posts that are correct, otherwise nothing will change and progress will continue to be stifled.

If the world is not ready for this problem, then how can it be ready for the solution.
The Collatz Conjecture is not a hard problem, it is a poorly understood problem, though that might not be the case for much longer.
Everyone should now know how to solve the Collatz Conjecture, even if it is never officially proven.

A thought could cross your mind. "OK. So we have had some bad things happen. But at least we have each other." That is the only thing that get us through the bad times. The fact we have endured. We have survived But, alas? I feel it won't be enough because we don't cleave to each other enough. Lers make it a goal - find soneone to listen to you in the good times and bad times. Life was not meant to be lived in solitude.

Idk!!! This is fancy stuff. i haven’t been able to get him away from it!!!! I can’t trick him into taking the old hay either. He’s too smart. I don’t know what I’ve done.

However, partnering with an IT company in Delhi specializing in eCommerce marketing will guarantee better outcomes than doing this alone.

What is SEO Driven eCommerce Store?

An SEO-driven eCommerce page is a digital marketing process of making your eCommerce website more visible and reachable to the right consumers through SERPs. It improves ranking, makes your brand credible, and ensures your website is at the top of the search engine result pages when people search for products you sell. Each page published on your website must be optimized to draw traffic from search engines. These include the home page, product pages, FAQs, about company, contact page, blog site, and service pages. You must also make sure that each product has a dedicated page designed and optimized to attract suitable consumers from SERPs.

Why is SEO Content Necessary for eCommerce Businesses?

Imagine Mary is a mom-to-be. What does she do if she needs a baby carrier? She looks up Google. And then goes through different brands, options, product details, shipping date, return and exchange policies, prices, and other information that support her purchase decision. Now imagine you are a baby care brand, like Bumzee. You have a better-quality baby carrier cum sleeper available at a better price on your website. But if your website doesn’t appear on Mary’s SERP, you will lose a valuable, recurring customer. Even though your product is on the web, is it traceable? eCommerce SEO provides an organic and long-lasting way to reach your target audience through great copy, high-quality images, informative blogs, and motivating CTAs. As an 18 years-experienced asp.net development company in Delhi, having provided eCommerce digital marketing services to over 500 businesses, we have realized that quality content is king regardless of what we publish online. And if you optimize your eCommerce content, you will be helping your business to cross the first hurdle in customer acquisition.

Best Practices for Optimizing Content with SEO

When you start your eCommerce store, you will have only a handful of products and blogs, meaning you will have only a few pages to optimize and rank on Google. But if your shoppers quickly and easily find what they want on your website, they will most likely browse through other pages and spend more time on your website. This will increase your Google rankings.

1. Organize and Optimize Your Store Structure

Talk to an IT services in Delhi and organize your store content in one of the following structures: Homepage à Category à Products (Bumzee Home à Infant Wear à Pyjamas, Shorts, Dresses etc.)
(Bumzee Home à All Categories à Sleepsuits à With hood / without hood)

2. Improve The Shopping Experience by Simplifying Your Site Architecture

There are hundreds of ways to improve your shoppers’ experience on your web store. A fast and mobile-responsive website must be the first and foremost step. Responsive Website: Hire the best asp.net development company in Delhi to create a mobile-first website layout, as 90% of your customers shop from mobile devices today. Avoid Sliders: Do not use sliders, carousels, or slideshows on your homepage or landing page banners. While sliders improve visual appeal, they can negatively impact SEO. They slow down page loading time, leading to higher bounce rates and lower rankings. Reduce the size of the images within the sliders and ensure the text within them is accessible to search engines. Use the Right Keywords: Explore social media hashtags, forums like Quora and Reddit, and competitors’ pages for keyword inspiration. Use Keywords for Images: Optimize images with relevant keywords. Mention your primary keyword in the headline, meta tag, meta description, image alt text, and subheadings. Remove Unnecessary Apps: When a website has too many applications, it can slow down its loading speed, which has several negative impacts, like high bounce rates, low conversion, lower user engagement, and poor ranking. Too many apps on a website can also produce clutter, negatively affecting user navigation and experience.

3. Optimize Your Product Pages

eCommerce businesses thrive on product pages. So, you must dedicate 100% of your energy to optimizing them. At least 70% of eCommerce owners write a few lines about the product and add some images. But you need more information on your product pages for Google to crawl, index, and rank them. The product name is important. Consider adding common search terms, phrases, and primary keywords to your product name. For example, if you are selling Handmade blouses and sarees, be sure to include the terms “handmade”, “sarees”, or “handwoven” in your product name.That way, the primary keyzword will be in the title, URL, and description. Make your product details copy descriptive, enhanced with keywords and latent semantic index keywords (LSI). LSI keywords are related words or keywords that shoppers might use to search. Use them throughout the text to help Google understand the page. Additionally, usage of the keywords must be consistent across all product pages. For example, Keyword 1 – Fillers – Keyword 2 – Store Name Product A – Lucknow Chikankari Kurtis – Buy Red Modal Chikankari Long Kurti – at Chikankari India Product B – Lucknow Chikankari Kurtis – Buy Navy Blue Viscose Rayon Kurti with Mukaish Work – at Chikankari India or Service A – IT Services in Delhi – Book eCommerce SEO Services – From Best IT Company in Delhi Don’t forget to interlink your other pages in your product descriptions to help users navigate your website. Include anchor text with target keywords for better results. Optimize Product Image and Video: Do not use generic filenames like IMG00056.jpg. Instead, use the product name and the main keyword, such as spatika-mirrorwork-blouse-pink.jpg. Add product images with alternative views, follow the above filename method to publish those images, and add the product name and the keyword in the ALT text. This will increase the chances of your images appearing in Google Images or the main SERP. Add only Original Images and Videos of your brand. Do not use Stock photos. To boost the possibilities of your customers buying your product, add a video to your product page, like how to install or use the product. When writing ALT Text, remember the following dos and don’ts:

4. Market Through Blogs

Blogs optimized with target keywords and valuable information regarding your company, services, and solutions are invaluable in eCommerce SEO. Solve your customers’ problems, educate them about your industry, and explain how to use your products through blogs and articles.

2023.07.11 10:26 Difficult-Web1358 Manuka Honey vs Regular Honey: Unraveling the Buzz

Manuka Honey vs Regular Honey: Unraveling the Buzz
Honey, a sweet, sticky, and wholesome product created by bees, has been savored by humans for thousands of years. Known for its culinary and medicinal properties, honey is a beloved staple in many pantries worldwide.

However, amidst the shelves stocked with diverse varieties of honey, one particular type that has gained significant popularity over recent years is Manuka honey. Originating from New Zealand, Manuka honey is celebrated for its distinctive benefits. But how does it compare to regular honey? Let's dive into this honey of a debate.

https://preview.redd.it/ptisl7i9qabb1.png?width=1134&format=png&auto=webp&s=3bb579108e4143da54376c1b8cf28072b187a3b1


Comparing Manuka and Regular Honey

Origins and Production
Regular honey, regardless of its type, is produced by bees that gather nectar from various flowers. The flavor, color, and nutritional content of the honey depend on the types of flowers the bees visit. This multi-floral nectar source results in what we often refer to as wildflower honey or regular honey.

On the other hand, Manuka honey is monofloral. It is made by bees that feed on the nectar of the Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium), native to New Zealand and parts of Australia. The nectar from this particular bush gives Manuka honey its unique properties.

Unique Properties
All kinds of honey, including regular honey, have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties due to the presence of hydrogen peroxide. This natural preservative contributes to honey's long shelf life and its use in traditional medicine as a wound dressing.

Manuka honey takes these properties a step further. In addition to hydrogen peroxide, it contains a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO), which gives Manuka honey superior antimicrobial power.

Furthermore, Manuka honey retains its antibacterial strength even when the hydrogen peroxide activity is blocked, a property described as non-peroxide activity (NPA). This means Manuka honey can potentially provide therapeutic benefits that surpass those of regular honey.

Taste
While both Manuka and regular honey are undeniably sweet, their taste profiles are distinct. Regular honey often has a lighter, more floral flavor, varying based on the nectar sources. In contrast, Manuka honey offers a more complex flavor – earthy, robust, and slightly bitter, leaving a lingering aftertaste that some describe as medicinal.


The Manuka Grading System

When purchasing regular honey, most consumers look at factors like color, viscosity, and flavor to gauge quality. But with Manuka honey, it's different. Two primary grading systems exist – Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) and MGO.

Both these ratings refer to the potency of Manuka honey's unique properties. Higher UMF or MGO numbers indicate stronger antimicrobial activity, making it more beneficial for health and wellness. Regular honey, due to its lower and varying antimicrobial potency, doesn't have a comparable grading system.

Cost
Due to its unique properties, strict production process, and the rarity of the Manuka bush, Manuka honey is considerably more expensive than regular honey. While regular honey can be produced almost anywhere in the world, Manuka honey's production is geographically limited, contributing to its high price point.


Spotlight on Kiva Raw Manuka Honey (UMF 20+, MGO 850+)

One example is the Manuka Health MGO 850+ Raw Manuka Honey 8.8 oz package by Kiva, certified with a Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) of 20+. This UMF rating indicates that the honey is equivalent to a methylglyoxal (MGO) level of 850+, affirming its high potency and superior health benefits.

UMF is a licensed, global standard for identifying and measuring the antibacterial strength of Manuka honey. It assures consumers of the honey's purity, quality, and authenticity. Only licensees that meet stringent criteria, including regular auditing and monitoring of honey quality, can use the UMF rating.

Purchasing UMF-rated Manuka honey, like the Kiva Raw Manuka Honey, safeguards against low-grade honey often misleadingly labeled as 'active' or 'bio-active.'

Kiva's Manuka honey is sourced from the untouched hills, forests, and coastal areas of New Zealand, ensuring that the product you consume is as pure and unadulterated as possible. It is known for its healing properties, being used in treating conditions like sore throats, colds, and digestive issues, and also in wound and burn dressings.

Additionally, it serves as a natural energy booster and can enhance general health when incorporated into a balanced diet.

The Kiva Raw Manuka Honey (UMF 20+) not only guarantees you genuine Manuka honey with powerful therapeutic benefits but also promotes sustainability in production. Each batch of honey is independently tested, verified, and traceable, reinforcing Kiva's commitment to quality and transparency.

The Verdict

While regular honey and Manuka honey share the basic qualities of being natural sweeteners with some level of therapeutic value, they are far from identical.

The unique characteristics of Manuka honey, including its superior antimicrobial activity, grading system, and distinctive taste, set it apart from regular honey. However, it's essential to remember that the choice between Manuka and regular honey ultimately comes down to personal preferences, needs, and budget.

2023.04.25 10:00 HempGlobal Hemp: Building a "Web3.0+ Industrial Hemp" business map

Hemp: Building a

Industrial hemp refers to cannabis with a THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content of less than 0.3%. Extracts from industrial hemp seeds, flower leaves, bark, stems, roots, etc. can be used in many industries such as medicine, food, cosmetics, and textiles. The ingredient with the highest medical value in industrial hemp is CBD (cannabidiol). CBD not only has no hallucinogenic effect, but can reduce or counteract the activity of THC, another chemical component in marijuana (THC can make people hallucinogenic and addictive) , has great application value in reducing inflammation, pain, anxiety, mental illness, epilepsy, etc.
As of January 2019, medical marijuana is legal in 41 countries around the world, and CBD is legal in 50 countries. Under this situation, the industrial hemp industry will develop rapidly. It is estimated that by 2021, the global effective demand for CBD will reach 1,810 tons, and the commercial value will reach 18.1 billion US dollars. It is estimated that by 2025, the global legal marijuana consumption market will reach 166 billion US dollars. Driven by the legalization policy, the enthusiasm of enterprises to enter the cannabis market is high. The number of global cannabis companies has increased rapidly, and some cannabis leaders have successfully listed, such as CanopyGrowth, Tilray, GW Pharmaceuticals and other cannabis companies have been listed.
At present, the main consumer markets of global industrial hemp are concentrated in North America and Europe. In the next few years, as more countries and regions gradually loosen restrictions on industrial hemp, its market size will continue to rise.

Under the background of the vigorous development of the industrial hemp industry and the arrival of the wave of the Web3.0 era, Hemp will integrate blockchain traceability technology, Internet of Things, smart contracts, consensus mechanism DPOS and other technologies to create a new Web3.0-style industrial hemp industry The production chain allows users around the world to participate and understand the entire industrial chain of industrial hemp with an interesting metaverse gameplay, and creates huge commercial value and social benefits in the field of industrial hemp with a brand-new industrial development model. Realize the huge benefits of sharing the industrial hemp industry with global users!
Hemp received tens of millions of angel cooperation in the early days of its establishment. The cooperative institutions include digital funds such as Bibox Fund, FBG, Danhua Resources, BlockWater, Bawei Resources, Zhenguo Fund and Node Resources. At present, Hemp's industry mainly includes two layouts: online trading platform and offline industrial hemp base: offline, Hemp taps the huge market development prospects of the emerging industry of industrial hemp with a unique investment perspective, and established a blockchain-based The underlying technology, the whole chain, and the decentralized industrial hemp base provide Hemp with a continuous source of income; online Hemp creates a Hemp quantitative strategy wealth management wallet to provide convenient one-stop financial services for global users, through digital currency and offline The industrial hemp base token HEMP flash exchange realizes the linkage with the base and shares the benefits of the base with users.
In the future, Hemp will join hands with industrial chain partners, based on the online trading platform, with digital assets as the medium, and with the real economy as the platform empowerment, to explore the unlimited commercial value of the industrial hemp field with global users, and share this experience with global users. The future benefits of the new industrial ecology!

2023.01.22 00:09 cool_cakes Challenging Exile and How William Bowery is a Red Herring (LONG POST)

Challenging Exile and How William Bowery is a Red Herring (LONG POST)
So, I've been a casual swiftie for a number of years. Fully converted last summer and now deep in the trenches of gaylor. I've had so much fun with everyone thinking about different theories and interpretations, but there is just one particular song that has always had me in a chokehold that I don't think is discussed as often.
It's Exile.
For context: I know this song was released to radio on August 3rd (Karlie's cake day), so when I first got deeper into gaylor I just accepted that at face value. But the more I study Taylor's art, the less I believe it's a Kaylor song. And yes, muses aren't everything; Taylor's songs are layered, she mixes narratives, themes, etc. - but I also think she has continued to approach songwriting like writing letters to specific people. It's done so consistently that we can weave songs together to create a larger over-arching story.
Furthermore, Taylor has openly stated she believes in having "a muse", and if you follow all of the lyric/thematic parallels and context clues in her work, I think it's pretty clear she consistently creates distinct, continuous, personalized story arcs (w/ a beginning, middle, and end) spread over multiple albums for these muses. Most of us can agree that the major ones include Dianna (loosely Red to 1989, and a handful of songs since), and Karlie (1989 to Midnights). Damn even Joe has a narrative arc (and it's camp).
So disclaimer, that I generally approach her art with these narrative arcs in mind and it's how I pulled this theory together (the theory doesn't make sense otherwise).

Why I think Exile is a Swiftgron song:

  1. The tone and break-up described in Exile simply doesn't fit in with other songs allegedly about Karlie? When I follow the Kaylor narrative arc from 1989 to Midnights - the over-arching theme is consistently longing, yearning, PINING to be with this person. But in Exile, Taylor's perspective has already moved on from the relationship? It just doesn't add up.
  2. And, if I were to egregiously over-simplify the Swiftgron narrative arc, I kid you not the overwhelming theme is: non-committal muse, on/off relationship. The theme of this relationship matches up with the themes in Exile pretty well.
The Swiftgron Narrative Arc (in theory):
The 1 = "And if you wanted me, you really should've showed"
Cardigan = "I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired... I knew you'd come back to me"
TTDS = "So we could call it even, you could call me babe for the weekend"
It's a rule of thumb at this point that non-committal lyrics are Dianna-coded. Feel free to hop into my clown car and we can toss in Bejeweled for this reason too lmao>! - Especially when "penthouse" vaguely ≈ hotels, the MV depicts the glittery 2013 VSFS - the night she "officially" meets Karlie, the bridge kind of parallels the first line of Paper Rings (so my crackpot theory is that Taylor's writing about the same night from different angles: meeting Karlie vs. getting over Dianna), and (mostly joking) but I doubt Karlie needs to "wait in line" when Midnights is yet another pining era lol.!<
Cutting the wall of text with some context clues on why The 1 is Dianna-coded: \"Tossing pennies in the pool\" ties back to 22 and The 1 lyric video (iykyk)
Exile Lyric Parallels:
"Second, third, and hundredth chances / Balancin' on breaking branches / I think I've seen this film before / so I'm leaving out the side door" - Exile
"I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free" / But the monsters turned out to be just trees" - OOTW
"I can see you staring honey, like he's just your understudy..." - Exile
The thematic/lyric parallels between Exile and OOTW is not solid evidence, but "understudy" is THE smoking gun to me because Dianna is an actress?... And if you know gaylor-lore then you know Taylor's writing is often inspired by the personal quirks/references to the person she's writing to. Even if we swap POVs between Karlie and Taylor, neither of them are actresses (…sorry Taylor). Taylor is the queen of technicalities, very precise and subtle wording that can flip the meaning of the song entirely. So, "understudy" just feels too intentional to dismiss.
Note: Interpreting Taylor's work with perspective switching is so valid (in most cases). But these days, I personally approach Taylor's art rarely assuming she's actually switching perspectives, in the same way I don't assume Folkmore is as fictional as she claims (this woman LIES, and has incentive in being cryptic for artistic and privacy reasons):
  1. Because it's too complicated and it's how we end up with "GoLdRush iS fRom Joe's pErSpeCtiVe"
  2. Her songs are her life - and this is consistent throughout her career. So with Exile I simply approach Taylor's verses as her POV, and Bon Iver's verses as her ex's POV
OOTW Grammy Museum: I just think her anecdote on this relationship fits the theme of Exile. \"Second, third, and hundredths chances\" & \"All this time we always walked a very thin line\"
Film/movie themes are common thread on Swiftgron songs: To clarify I definitely don't think all film/movie lyrics are exclusive to any one muse, Taylor has a general writing style and motifs she likes to use throughout her work. But in this case I think it could be an ode to the fact that Dianna is an actress.
  • HYGTG - "Stand there like a ghost shaking from the rain" - classic romcom rain scene
  • Style - "Midnight... Fade into view... So it goes..." - scene transitions
  • IKP - "It's a scene, and we're out here in plain sight"
  • The 1 - "You know the greatest films of all time were never made"
  • Exile - "I think I've seen this film before"
    • -> And if Style were a movie, then Taylor HAS seen it a lot before...
Lastly, Exile can be added to the end of the Swiftgron narrative arc/playlist and it makes sense:
(The beginning) EHC: "Your eyes looking like comin' home"
(The end) Exile: "Those eyes add insult to injury"
Based on general masterposts and the lore, we can assume that Swiftgron and Kaylor overlap IRL. In her art Taylor just jump-cuts her storytelling from Wonderland to YAIL, but realistically a crap load of things probably happened in that time that aren't published in song (yet). I think it's not until Exile that Taylor finally bridges the two narrative arcs and tells the other side of the story... that this muse was bitter and salty that Taylor seemed to move on so quickly.
Folklore was the perfect avenue for Taylor to openly reflect back on Swiftgron for creative inspiration and develop the layers to that story arc. With Exile she could also be empathizing with her ex and how it might've felt to see Taylor pack up and be seen "5 minutes" later in someone else's arms (ouch, but the 2014 AMA's was iconic).
Even out of context Dianna's tweet is so dramatic and I appreciate it so much
I'm definitely not 100% on this, but I also can't ignore the seagull bandana in LPSS?? Is that not a 1989 seagull throwback? 💀
Like? Who has a seagull bandana lying around? Why is he wearing it while singing? Did Taylor Swift ask Bon Iver to wear this?? I have so many questions, and this only fuels my skepticism
Exile being a Swiftgron song is not even the main clowning event folks, the only reason I'm even giving this analysis is to provide context for my (maybe unhinged) William Bowery theory.
BUCKLE UP.

Tin-Foil Hat Time: William Bowery is a Red Herring

"Art is a friendly deception. It must deceive in order to succeed, and it must be friendly in order to keep its audience happy. The art critic, unlike the artist, aims to distinguish and describe deception in art." - Flannery Wilson
"Tell the truth but tell it slant" - Emily Dickinson
Theory: Maybe, JUST MAYBE... William Bowery is Taylor herself but she also uses WB as a literary device to indicate a song contains some type of red herring
  • No, I don't think William Bowery is Joe (I actually like Joe, but not enough to lie to myself)
  • Red herrings are a literary device used to distract or mislead, and serves to compel the readeaudience. Red herrings are what set us up for the bait-and-switch. In Taylor's art, the red herrings generally range from whole songs to specific lyrics
  • If WB is a literary device it explains why she's still using WB despite the "identity being revealed," why WB is only added to songwriting and not producer credits, and why she can just give away credit without affecting actual collaborators. Tbh, I wonder how much Joe even wanted to be involved in grammygate because it doesn't seem like he even cares about making music, or winning the grammy lol
I know Toe and Grammygate is bulletproof to the GP, but I swear they didn't even TRY to make this scene believable
My Rationale:
1) William Cobbett coined the term "red herring"
  • Could be the origin of William, while Bowery may be a place linked to a muse (Bowery Ballroom, or Bowery Hotel). To be fair, William is a generic name so this could totally be a coincidence and just some literary fun facts for y'all.
2) Taylor has used red herrings since the dawn of time
The kicker is that we, the audience, don't know what the red herrings are without full context. With context the bait-and-switch is revealed.
  • Her lead singles are red herrings (aka us getting ME!'d), the lavender haze reel is now obviously a red herring (and the mad men scene literally mentions BETTY)
  • She misled the GP with: "Style", "buzzcut", "paper airplanes", the scarf, debatably Dear John, etc. (Notice how there's almost always a PR photo to link lyrics to? Isn't it just so pretty to think it wasn't masterminded?)
  • A lack of context and nuance is the enemy of Gaylorism. If you look at all the content she creates, the "clues" to her PR relationships are by far out-weighed by the "clues" to her sapphic ones. Finding clues is one thing... but I think the "game" Taylor's playing with the audience is to distinguish what's real and what's a red herring... and it makes for brilliant and engaging art (...that only exists this way because she's glass closeting)
I think the term "red herring" should be used more in gaylor spaces to help us separate the friendly deception from the "real narrative" and see it as an intentional artistic choice. For some reason she may have started using WB to indicate this more clearly starting from Folklore? IDK, but in general with each new album since, she's been increasingly more transparent about her "tricks" so it's possible, e.g. with "every bait and switch was a work of art," "this this the first time I've felt the need to confess," all of Dear Reader, etc.
3) Nils Sjöberg was a red herring
  • I think she used Nils to divert attention away from how queeKaylor TIWYCF was. By extension, WB being Joe & the whole "I write sad songs with my boyfriend" distracts the audience from the queerness and heartbreak of Folklore
  • The Nils connection is a good enough reason alone to pin WB as Taylor herself, but I took it a clown-step further and asked "why those songs and not others?" She could've slapped WB onto Gold Rush and doomed us all, but she didn't... so why? The more I sit on it the more I think there's a method to the madness, that all these songs have specific red herrings in them that intentionally distracts/misleads in some way

The Red Herrings in each WB song:

Disclaimer: This is subjective and based on my understanding of the narrative arcs in Taylor's art, that I prefaced earlier. To identify red herrings I just noted ways these songs were inconsistent or contradictory within the context of her discography. It's definitely not an exact a science though hahah, but I tried.
Note: Satire is a different literary device. Easily misinterpreted ≠ intentionally inconsistent/misleading. In creating this theory I wondered why satirical/carefully worded songs that "mislead" weren't under William Bowery and maybe it's because she DOES differentiate satire from red herrings as different literary devices that serve different purposes. With satire if you know, you know and it's meant to be amusing (lots of Joe songs can fall into this category). With red herrings, you don't know that you're in a trap until its revealed by the author and it's meant to be mysterious.
BUUUT, I have to wonder if Taylor's train of thought is THIS technical or if I'm just giving her too much credit lol. I definitely think she knows her stuff, soo I'll go ahead and assume she takes literary devices very seriously for the sake of this theory.
---
1) Exile: The August 3rd release, or the "Understudy" lyric
  • This is the song that kick-started this theory because the August 3rd release suggests it's a Kaylor song, but the song just lines up sooo well within the Swiftgron narrative arc??
  • I too value my credibility as a sane and logical person so yeah it seems a little toooo clown to suggest that Taylor plants red herrings for Kaylor (and also WHY would she need to do that?). So alternatively, if Exile is a Kaylor song (or applies to both sapphic narratives) "understudy" could be a red herring lyric to make you think of Joe (also an actor) as Bon Iver's parts and thus a real co-writer 💀
  • If it was just Exile I would've dropped this theory, but all WB songs seem inconsistent in some way
---
2) Betty: The song itself and the love triangle
  • To me Betty was always the Speak Now of Folklore: Taylor's feelings of yearning are real, the characters are loosely based on TayloKarlie, but the scenario is largely fictional
  • Betty also glues together the Teen Love Triangle... that's also actually fictional
    • Why the Love Triangle isn't "real": 1) Taylor never writes about one before or after Folklore (so it breaks continuity). 2) Cardigan fits Swiftgron (like a reflection on Begin Again & This Love) and August fits Kaylor (like a Cruel Summer 2.0) from Taylor's POV in separate narrative arcs. 3) Only Betty is needed to craftily tie all these songs together with: "standing in your cardigan" and "James get in"
  • And this is where understanding how Taylor markets her music comes into play:
    • Because to me the Teen Love Triangle is to Folklore what Joe Jonas is to Fearless, John Mayer is to Speak Now, Jake Gyllenhaal is to Red, Harry Styles is to 1989, Joe Alwyn is to Reputation -> these are one-off crafted narratives meant to make her art more engaging for her audience. The fact that she openly promoted the love triangle concept in the media and interviews, makes me a little more skeptical (🚨 🚨 🚨)
    • Since Folklore is "fictional" she created fictional drama to replace the usual high-profile drama for the media outlets and her fans to hyper-fixate on... and it's a BRILLIANT move
    • I think Taylor is a great artist and marketer because she knows her audience; she's a people pleaser because she gives fans what she thinks they would be engaged by (hence the ATW fan service, letting Jake get meme'd to hell, and she's definitely coming for John next with the "danced with the devil at 19" line lol but with Speak Now TV coming it's pretty genius)
  • Betty & the love triangle is a great concept, great marketing, and a great distraction from Folklore's "real" narrative (it's a breakup album)
W Magazine: …like even if they dated this HAS to be marketing, and honestly pretty funny. Just adding this tidbit to the list of reasons why I can't take this man seriously as the Red/ATW muse
3) Champagne Problems: Could be pulling a Betty?
  • This is the trickiest one, because we have no real evidence a proposal did or didn't happen... But if I'm going off logic and lyrics, CP always threw me off
  • CP clearly paints Karlie as the one proposing... but if true what is Joshlie if Karlie legit wanted to marry Taylor? And it always confused me that Taylor could write a cohesive narrative arc about being in love and devoted (YAIL, KOMH/NYD, LovePaper Rings, Peace/Hoax) over 5.3 albums, and then suddenly we get one song where she rejects THE endgame proposal from Karlie?
  • I don't claim to know the truth, but if CP is based on a literal event it's sooo inconsistent
    • This could be an actual case of flipped perspectives (rip Taylor), but I can totally see CP as another fictional scenario (like Betty) that Taylor uses as a metaphorical outlet to express real feelings of self-loathing, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and irrationally not feeling good enough for her partner at times? ("I couldn't give a reason... what a shame she's f\cked in the head"*). This would be thematically consistent with all the other songs where she's kind of hard on herself, like in The Archer, Afterglow, TGW, Peace, etc.
  • If it's not "real," maybe CP could also serve to distract from the "real" over-arching narrative... and like a good red herring it piques our interest and keeps us wondering 🤔 (but seriously what tf happened lol)
---
4) Coney Island: The bridge linked to her "exes"
  • I'm going to be honest and say that ANY SONGS or SINGULAR LYRICS easily traceable to her suspicious relationships ring the red herring alarms in my brain (🚨 🚨 🚨)
    • I'm the one that's haunted because "buzzcut" was all it took to derail swifties from seeing how gay Dress is. HOW is "I don't want you like a best friend" 100% about JOE??? Because of course, he was her public BFF🤦sorry I need to rant
  • Coney Island's easier to analyze from a red herring lens because the bridge references The Moment I Knew, Dear John, and the OOTW accident - all lyrics linked to incidents with Jake, John, and Harry) in the media. Calvin is also the only other boyfriend she ever thanked aside from Joe (if I'm not mistaken), and she kinda forgets he exists at the 2016 Grammy's podium (and wrote practically no songs about him lol). These guys are all at least a little PR to me, but let's be safe and say only Calvin and Harry were PR - so there's at least ONE red herring in the bridge
  • From this lens, the song is pretty meta and self-aware: Taylor intentionally distracts the audience with references to her high-profile "exes" in the bridge, and by doing that she's literally not making the real Evermore muse her centerfold in the bridge or "centerfold" of the song itself
Let's also not ignore the fact that \"centerfold\" alludes to magazines and models, and who can forget the \"Galentine's Day\" Vogue spread of 2015. Nothing to see here, just gals being pals
5) Sweet Nothing: "Last July" and "Wicklow"
  • It's soooo interesting that she would release Lavender Haze, Mastermind and Dear Reader, but then double down on Sweet Nothing with a direct Joe reference, and William Bowery slapped on for good measure... I love this song but it EXUDES red herring
  • "Wicklow" undoubtedly points to Joe. It's a "clue" easily traceable to a publicized event... HMMM
  • Sweet Nothing could also be "misleading" conceptually because it starts with a children's game (I spy), but later turns the phrase of "sweet nothings" into "sweet nothing" (unconditional love). So it can apply to a wholesome parent/child relationship but turns a common phrase typically reserved for lovers
  • So in no particular order, Taylor could be misdirecting focus away from:
  1. Her mom (who owns other Track 12s - The Best Day, and SYGB)
  2. Karlie - "On the way home" = YAIL, and the kitchen imagery is kinda Kaylor
  3. Paul McCartney's story~ still way more believable than WB being Joe lol
  4. How Lavender Haze, Mastermind and Dear Reader blatantly supports Toe skepticism - and does so much more clearly than any song before (e.g. Ready For It, London Boy, Invisible String, etc). Personally, these songs altogether broke Toe for me (I was 50/50 before Midnights)
---
6) Evermore: Okay this one breaks my theory because I'm a little stumped hahah
  • In my defense~ I just listen to Evermore when I want to cry and haven't really analyzed it deeply or looked into context clues... taking a stab in the dark, she did mislead us when she said "it's time to go" and "this pain wouldn't be forevermore" but then dropped Midnights and says "I'll be getting over you my whole life" - hahahah *cries* (she really lulled us into a false sense of closure there huh 💀)
  • Evermore IS also in the "forever is the sweetest con" chapter if that counts for something
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art 👏
In conclusion: Taylor is an unreliable narrator. William Bowery songs are suspicious... and non-William Bowery songs aren't to the same extent?? Idk why she would do this but there's a pattern, and maybe she wants the reader to figure that out? I guess only time will tell if there really is a bait-and-switch in store for us.
Okay tin-foil hat off 🤡

EDIT: Thanks y'all for the positive reception 😭, makes it sooo worth having researched, edited and refined this post for an embarrassingly long time~ (also made some actual edits)

2023.01.17 16:29 Nabukodonosor Blockchain Benefits: The Technical Flowering Has Just Begun!

The way we conceive of challenges has shifted as a result of blockchain. It has resulted in a great many positive outcomes. Blockchain technology offers solutions to fundamental problems, such as maintaining trust within a network. Thus users can evidently witness the blockchain benefits.
Any company can shift its attention to problem-solving if it modifies the essential operating parameters and increases its level of trust. Its relevance has not been lost on the governments of the world, and they are eager to put blockchain technology into practice.
The issue that needs to be answered right now is, what are the benefits of utilizing blockchain technology?

True Traceability

Companies are able to concentrate on developing a distribution network that includes both suppliers and vendors when they use blockchain technology.
It is difficult to trace objects in the conventional supply chain, which can lead to a variety of issues including loss of commodities, theft, and the production of counterfeit goods.
The supply chain will be more open to scrutiny than ever before thanks to blockchain technology.
It makes it possible for every participant in the supply chain to track the commodities and verify that they are not being mismanaged or substituted in any way during the process.
The in-house implementation of blockchain traceability is another way for businesses to get the most out of this feature.

Extreme Surveillance

When compared to other systems or record-keeping systems, among several blockchain benefits, enhanced security features stand out as a clear advantage.
When a transaction is registered, everyone must agree on it using the consensus mechanism. Additionally, a hashing algorithm is used to encrypt each transaction and properly link it to the previous one.
The system's defenses are also made stronger by the fact that every node keeps a history of all network transactions.
So, if a bad actor tries to change the transaction, other hubs will always say no to his request to compose actions to the system.
Data that has been written to blockchain benefits cannot be changed after it is written. This is also the best choice for systems that are dependent on static information, like databases of people's ages based on information from the public.

Inexpensive Operating System

Companies currently invest substantial sums in enhancing the capacity of their current management system. That's why it's important to cut costs and use the money saved to start new projects or improve old ones.
Organizations can save money often spent on middlemen by adopting blockchain technology. Blockchain eliminates the need for vendor fees because there is no central authority to charge.
Additionally, less human intervention is required to validate a transaction, which further reduces the need to expend resources on mundane tasks.

The Epitome Of Clarity

Today, lack of openness is a major problem in many fields. Several changes in policy and practice have been made by various establishments in an endeavor to become more transparent. A system's degree of centralization, however, is the one thing that can ever make it less than transparent and trustworthy, alongwith the growth of reliable trading bots like the Bitcoin era.
Using blockchain, a company can switch to a decentralized network in which a single administrator isn't necessary, increasing the openness of the system.
"Peers" are the people who participate in and verify transactions in a blockchain network. Even though there is a requirement that all peers take part in the validation process, not all of them necessarily do so using the consensus approach.
The consensus method is used to provide decentralized verification. After a transaction has been verified, all of the nodes store a replica of the confirmed record. The blockchain system takes care of this openness.
Organizational settings magnify the effects of transparency. As was already mentioned, governments can take advantage of transparency when creating, implementing and operating, or holding elections.

Efficiency Wrapped Under Speed Lanes

Increased productivity and speed in industrial settings is blockchain's final advantage. Blockchain technology allows for the automation of tedious tasks, drastically improving productivity. With the use of automation, it gets rid of mistakes made by people as well.
The digital ledger facilitates this by giving users a centralized database for recording business dealings. When procedures are streamlined and automated, time and effort are saved, and production speeds up significantly.
It's much simpler for everybody to trust one another because the data is all kept in a decentralized ledger. In brief, blockchain employs its unique form of data storing to deliver a highly efficient procedure with trust, openness, and immutability.

The Final Thoughts

Whether a company chooses to utilize a global blockchain network or a private, permissioned one, blockchain and its properties can offer numerous benefits.
As a result, this concludes our discussion of the foremost advantages of blockchain technology. With this newfound understanding of blockchain's significance, you can decide for yourself whether or not to implement this technology.
In every industry, blockchain will have far-reaching consequences because of its revolutionary nature. To help you better relate to and appreciate its benefits, we have focused on only the most relevant areas.
However, the ultimate choice is up to you. This manual is meant to serve as a resource to assist you in selecting the best choice for your company.
