DNS/Amazon S3/Github Enumeration Pack, Seclists, and More

- as I said previously, I've been finding a lot of good and free books via open Amazon S3 buckets and Github. The problem is that it feels like search engines often miss out on crawling everything that may be relevant to what you want and you can never be certain with software built by others that they've covered off the areas that you want. I wanted to see how difficult it would be to build enumeration tools for Amazon and Github by using my subdomain resolving script as a starting point just to see what I may be missing out on?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Web_Services
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shodan_(website)
aws public s3 bucket search engine
- you can download my DNS/Amazon S3/Github enumerator pack here:
- description is as follows:
# This is an enumeration "software pack" for DNS, Amazon S3, and Github
# and obviously builds on my subdomain_resolve.sh script (which was only
# designed for DNS).
#
# To enumerate a DNS domain run the relevant script with a wordlist/seclist.
# To enumerate Amazon S3 first enumerate against s3.amazonaws.com via
# subdomain_resolve.sh Then use aws_s3_enum.sh against a relevant
# s3_amazonaws_com-*-results.txt file from the results folder.
#
# To enumerate against Github run github_enum.sh against a relevant
# worldlist/seclist.
#
# These scripts are obviously very simple but they will give you a 
# good idea into how similar tools work but in a simpler framework.
# They're also pretty harmless because all they really do is look
# for a website/webpage and download that page if and when it's available.
#
# As this is the very first version of the program it may be VERY buggy. 
# Please test prior to deployment in a production environment.
- if you want to build something like:
then you're better off enumerating first. Thereafter, you being to crawl and see what else is also available. The reason is because crawling is often much slower then enumerating. All you need to do is combine some of my previous work and do a tiny little bit more work

- one key to getting good enumeration results is getting good seclists/wordlists to start with. Ironically, these are often available via open source repositories such as Github
seclists
- you can also create good seclists as well. I was going to post a script to convert books into seclists but it needs a little bit of cleaning up so another time?
- as an aside, just because a company has a good reputation doesn't mean that they've covered all bases, aren't lazy, that they are actually good at their job, haven't had to make compromises, etc... Nobody is perfect. The converse is also true, a tiny company with no resources could have the greatest security in the world as well

- Leon Lin I don’t know how we get these ABS figure with retail sales growth. When every major retailer are reporting lower sales...
Paul Towers I haven't dived deep into the data but at a high level, I'd say, retailers, are increasingly in a perpetual state of discounting. 
The discounting is compressing margins and crunching profits, more so than revenue (at least at this stage).
The retailers we have seen close recently were most likely already operating on thin margins (i.e. fast fashion, in particular, is a tough, lower margin sub-sector within retail) so when they experience even a small decline, the bottom falls out of the business.
In addition, I don't think its quite at the stage where Shopping Centre owners are caving to demands of retailers for rent reduction. I.e. instead of trying to retain the tenant and cut the rent to make the business more sustainable, the centre owner is gambling that they can get rid of the tenant and find a new one at the same rent.
The centre also often is between a rock and a hard place because if they cut rent, even in only a handful of stores, then they are saying to the market that instead of rent being $x psqm, its now $x - y%. This flows on to affect the potential value of the centre as a how and in turn can mean that the centre own breaches debt covenants in their loan agreement.
A similar thing happened with Property Trusts during the GFC. I.e. They have offices they were trying to rent for $300 p sqm, there was a crunch and they could only get $200 sqm, so the value of the building dropped, the loan terms were breached and they had to recapitalise to keep the LVR in check.

The Evolution Vs Creationism Debate Isn't Over?, Random Stuff, and More

- like Jim Simons I'm sceptical of pure evolutionary theory as well as pure creationist theory. It's just difficult to see how complex life can evolve from pure randomness. Once I publish further notes on this it'll become more obvious what I mean. Evolution theory reminds me of the infinite monkey theorem and flaws in probability theory (I suspect that mathematicians could arrive at a probability that a cow could jump 6 foot off of the ground. The actual probability that this will happen is basically nil though)? Even if you set an infinite number of monkeys at the task doesn't mean that you'll necessarily arrive at the complete works of Shakespeare. I'm not saying whether things are firmly in the court of Evolution or Creationism. I'm just saying that both stories don't really explain everything?
Theory of Evolution - How did Darwin come up with it - BBC News
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. In fact, the monkey would almost surely type every possible finite text an infinite number of times.

evolution
In biology, evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution is based on the idea that all species? are related and gradually change over time.
- over time, I've come to realise that humans have a tendency to think in terms of overly simplistic fashion. Their way of life causes them to do and say things that aren't entirely true or just to further their own individual and collective interests. It's really obvious that there are enormous flaws in evolution and creationist theories
In my blog of November 1st, 2019 (Lord of the Flies …) I mentioned a film made (with the help of professionals) by an eminent British scientist, a Fellow of the Royal Society. It is without doubt a propaganda film in which so called facts are presented in a distorted way along with false claims to create a beguiling picture that communicates the ideology and beliefs of the film makers. The film is propaganda for scientific thinking known as eugenics. I suppose the science of eugenics was once, as they say, settled, so clearly not up for debate! But as it turned out it needed to be debated because eugenics was part of the scientific basis for National Socialism. Science makes it easier to turn people – human beings – into piles of ash. Remember that!
The film is also an example that demonstrates that the belief that scientists are the epitome of objectivity is naught but extremely naïve. The truth is that scientists are no different from anyone else and will distort, invent, lie, create myths, make subjective comments, contradict themselves, be inconsistent, jump to conclusions, make up explanations on the spot, etc. just as much as anyone else. The gospel according to Richard Dawkins exemplifies the point.

- if you understand how the brain works then you'll realise there seems to be an inate programming built in from the moment of conception? That's why certain facets of behaviour (such as smiling, crying, curiosity, and an array of other emotions, etc...) may be universal across the animal kingdom (have to wonder about plant life as well? Do they have emotions?)? It's at this point you realise why many human attempts at replicating brain behaviour via AI/ML have gone awry? There's not enough core/base programming in play?

- under stress, torture, and abuse the body does remarkably similar things. However, it always seems to do it's best to protect the individual in question? The baseline seems to be preservation of life until there is no forseeable method out of the situation?
stress missed period
The female reproductive system can be affected, too. In fact, for some women, stress may play a role in causing irregular or missed periods. As stress levels rise, there's a chance that your menstrual period will temporarily stop, a condition known as secondary amenorrhea.
A general rule of thumb is that a period is considered late if it is delayed by 5 days or more. Most people will probably experience a late period at least once in their life. It may come as a surprise that stress is actually a very common cause for a late period.
Unhealthy friendships involve a breach of trust or damage to someone's well-being. Some signs your primary-aged child may be dealing with a challenging friend is if:
the person lies to your child on a regular basis
they change best friend status depending on their mood for the day
they control who your child can play with, which clothes they can wear or which interests they can have
they bully your child through social exclusion, verbal put downs, rumour-spreading and/or physical intimidation
they encourage or pressure your child to participate in antisocial or risky behaviours
you have noticed a decline in your child's self-esteem and overall well-being
you have noticed an increase in withdrawn or aggressive behaviour in your child.

- there seems to be many examples of modulation throughout the human body?
modulation type human body
spinal cord modulation nerves
A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) or Dorsal Column Stimulator (DCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device (sometimes called a "pain pacemaker") that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions. SCS is a consideration for people who have a pain condition that has not responded to more conservative therapy.[1]
- timing and synchronisation seems to critical in a lot of the electronics as well as in bio-organic organisms? Where is clock signal inside of DNA? Chemical reaction rates lead to sequencing leads to clock signal type mechanism? Bio-organic technology exhibits all indicates of a 'Intelligent Design' being involved at least at one particular point?
cell mutation rate by organ
Molecular clocks control mutation rate in human cells
Cells of the human body acquire mutations over time, whether because of errors introduced during DNA replication or damage incurred during transcription and other cellular processes. But, until recent technological developments enabled whole genome sequencing from the miniscule quantities of DNA found inside single cells or small clones of the same cell, investigating the nature and extent of such somatic mutations—and the resulting tissue mosaicism—was practically impossible.
- heaps of synchorinisation signals have to lock into place for things to work. Even if you seperate organs alone that's up to a total of 78? Rediculously complex if you genuinely try to understand the technology? If you think in terms of a creator and temporary checks from time to time then you may understand how things may be working? Intervention only in extreme cases?
organs in human body
- sequencing in the process of reproduction and pregnancy is really, really complicated. If you read up on this and if I were to publish some of my other notes you'd realise how rediculously complex it is?
- one interesting thing is how many medical professionals believe in God?
belief in god medical profession
The majority of physicians believe in God (65.2 %), and 51.2 % reported themselves as religious, 24.8 % spiritual, 12.4 % agnostic, and 11.6 % atheist. This self-designation was largely independent of specialty except for psychiatrists, who were more likely report agnosticism (P = 0.003).

- some maladies and illnesses which afflict the human body get better with age or heal themselves. The irony is that it implies error detection and correction systems are available inside of the human body? Humans are scratching the surface with regards to stem cell technologies? You need to start from the ground up. People realise that small cuts and abrasions heal but it seems to much deeper then that
fertility by age
Female fertility is affected by age. Age is thus a major fertility factor for women. Menarche, the first menstrual period, usually occurs around 12–13, although it may happen earlier or later, depending on each girl. After puberty, female fertility increases and then decreases, with advanced maternal age causing an increased risk of female infertility.
A woman's fertility peaks in the early and mid-20s[citation needed], after which it starts to decline slowly. While many sources suggest a more dramatic drop at around 35,[1] this is unclear since studies are still cited from the nineteenth century and earlier.[2][3] One 2004 study of European women found fertility of the 27–34 and the 35–39 groups had only a four-percent difference.[4] At age 45, a woman starting to try to conceive will have no live birth in 50–80 percent of cases.[5] Menopause, or the cessation of menstrual periods, generally occurs in the 40s and 50s and marks the cessation of fertility, although age-related infertility can occur before then.[6] The relationship between age and female fertility is sometimes referred to as a woman's "biological clock."[7]
In information theory and coding theory with applications in computer science and telecommunication, error detection and correction or error control are techniques that enable reliable delivery of digital data over unreliable communication channels. Many communication channels are subject to channel noise, and thus errors may be introduced during transmission from the source to a receiver. Error detection techniques allow detecting such errors, while error correction enables reconstruction of the original data in many cases.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diˈɒksiˌraɪboʊnjʊˈkliːɪk, -ˈkleɪ.ɪk/ (About this sound listen);[1] DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix.
The two DNA strands are called polynucleotides since they are composed of simpler monomer units called nucleotides.[2][3] Each nucleotide is composed of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases (cytosine [C], guanine [G], adenine [A] or thymine [T]), a sugar called deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. The nucleotides are joined to one another in a chain by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next, resulting in an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone. The nitrogenous bases of the two separate polynucleotide strands are bound together, according to base pairing rules (A with T and C with G), with hydrogen bonds to make double-stranded DNA.
The complementary nitrogenous bases are divided into two groups, pyrimidines and purines. In a DNA molecule, the pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine, the purines are adenine and guanine.
DNA stores biological information. The DNA backbone is resistant to cleavage, and both strands of the double-stranded structure store the same biological information. This information is replicated as and when the two strands separate. A large part of DNA (more than 98% for humans) is non-coding, meaning that these sections do not serve as patterns for protein sequences.
- the more you understand human biology the more you understand how to fix it and what environmental factors may cause it difficulties (particularly in a less invasive form)?

sugar high and depression
How does sugar affect your mental health?
A high-sugar diet impacts both physical and mental health.
Research has tied heavy sugar consumption to an increased risk of depression and worse outcomes in individuals with schizophrenia. ... For starters, sugar suppresses activity of a hormone called BDNF that is low in individuals with depression and schizophrenia.
vegetable and depression
Studies show that in addition to physical benefits, the more fruits and veggies you eat result in better mental health, as well. Over the past few decades, researchers have found compelling evidence that people who eat fruits and vegetables have fewer symptoms of depression, stress, and overall negativity.
rice and depression
Pasta, white rice and bagels are all foods that have been identified as inflammatory and have been linked to depression in women ages 50 to 77, according to an October 2013 study in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.
fruit and depression
A diet that is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, soy, and other plant products may help reduce the stress-related symptoms of depression.

- things will be easier if you think of life being created on Earth? Then you'll understand certain design decisions? Information trasfer is obviously similar to a MODEM. Note the diagram at 11:30? If you understand data compression and modulation/demodulation the process is obviously very similar. Obviously, due to the finite space offered by the cranial space you need to make the most of data storage. Hence, I'm guessing it's a multi-layered mechanism for information storage? It feels almost like it's almost using multi-dimensions and orientations for data storage and retrieval which is why the brain seems to be able to store so much more information then similar human created technology? This is a concept I played around a long time ago but didn't have the resources/time to devote to it (I wrote about a similar concept in one of my "Cloud and Internet Security Report - Security Matters" except I called it a "Storage Orb" on p.288 This storage floats in normal space/time because it's made of superconducting material which also means it's imprevious to issues related to heat. Superconductivity allows for greater sensitivity and data desnsity as well. I wrote about using multiple angles, encodings, etc... somewhere else but can't find the reference at the moment? It worked on the basis of light but obviously the higher the physical resolution the more information can be stored. I actually thought about information storage at atomic and sub-atomic level but this is obviously impracticle especially given Earth's current level of advancement. More on this later...). Basically, if you have read/write heads all around a cell in you can store much more information by using alternate angles, alternate storage algorithms, alternate offsets, etc... As I publish more of my notes on why the double helix structure is an optimal structure for 3D bio-organic humanoids it will make more sense...

Tabula rasa is the theory that individuals are born without built-in mental content and that therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception. Epistemological proponents of tabula rasa disagree with the doctrine of innatism which holds that the mind is born already in possession of certain knowledge.
SDR: Why did you become a rabbi?
RS: Many years ago, I knew I wanted to be a rabbi. I felt as if God spoke to me as a child through the marvels of nature, and astronomy in particular. That inspired me to pursue a path I’ve remained committed to ever since. The universe is a phenomenally expansive place, and that we’re able to understand a small part of it, and ask why we are here and how we got here, signifies a miracle that is on par with the Big Bang. The emergence of sentient, self-reflective life defies astronomical odds. That life should exist may not be a great miracle, but that life should be capable of understanding its origin and asking the great question “Why?” is at the heart of all faiths. That’s what inspired me as a teenager to become a rabbi
- an academic I know once knew said that it didn't make sense why humans needed sleep within the context of Evolutionary theory. I'm of the same mind. If you understand much of what happens during the sleep cycle then you begin to understand why it's important (waste is removed, processed and removed, various parts of the body shut down, memories are transferred from primary to secondary storage, temperature drops which reminds of thermal/environmental control in human made technologies, etc...). Sleep is required for restoration of critical life support systems? As I mentioned in my other post it takes a handful of days before hallucinations begin to set in. DARPA and other individuals and groups have tried to get around it to develop so called super soldiers with limited success? The way the body deal with torture is a good example of this? As I mentioned in my previous post caching previous events is faster then having to re-learn things again. Obviously, if humans were built I'm curious about ratios between various systems?
sleep deprivation results
sleep space spread between cells brain
The short-term consequences of sleeplessness came to light in 1964 in a now-famous event in which American high school student Randy Gardner kept himself awake for 11 days and 25 minutes.
During the event, observed by some sleep researchers, the 16-year-old was still able to function although his mood and concentration were affected and he had periods of paranoia and hallucinations.
Even longer periods without sleep have been reported by others, but Dr Marshall says Randy is still regarded as the record holder because he wasn't using stimulants.

Sleep, too, was a focus of intense research at DSO. In the Continually Assisted Performance program, scientists worked on ways to create a “24/7 soldier,” one who required little or no sleep for up to seven days. If this could be achieved, an enemy’s need for sleep would put him at an extreme disadvantage. Goldblatt’s program managers hired marine biologists studying certain sea animals to look for clues. Whales and dolphins don’t sleep; as mammals, they would drown if they did. Unlike humans, they are somehow able to control the lobes of their left and right brains so that while one lobe sleeps, the opposite lobe stays awake, allowing the animal to swim. While some DARPA scientists ruminated over the question of how humans might one day control the lobes of their own brains, other scientists experimented with drugs like Modafinil, a powerful medication used to counter sleep apnea and narcolepsy, to keep warfighters awake.
DARPA has also studied whales and dolphins—mammals that don't need to sleep in long chunks like humans do—as inspiration for creating a soldier who requires little to no sleep for a week or more. Whales and dolphins independently control the left and right lobes of their brains, keeping one alert while the other sleeps. It's not known if DAPRA scientists made any progress with human lobe control, but they did explore powerful anti-sleep drugs like Modafinil.
- if you think within the limits of an average school education, within the limits of what current human technology is at, refuse to branch out into multiple disciplines, etc... things will make less sense? If humans were designed it would require you to think like a creator to understand design decisions?
- I don't know why it exists but there seems to be a self-mutilation/kill/suicide signal that seems to be present in both humans and animals. It's sent specifically during periods of high stress or abuse but can obviously be activated via alternative means (most often chemically as some humans have discovered) as well?

“In the past, when elephants were sick, they were often released back into the forest. The sick elephants would seek leaves and herbs to treat themselves. But now forests have been largely destroyed; there are few medicinal plants left,” Long added.
Long said elephants were big animals that were generally in good health. Most of their diseases are caused by working too hard and carrying loads that are far too big.
“In recent years, elephants tend to have more tumours in their bodies. The tumours stem from polluted food and water, which leads to lack of nutrition and resistance in their bodies,” he added.
Long often uses the bark of lộc vừng (fish poison tree or barringtonia), and leaves of trâm (Jamblon or syzygium cumini) and some salt boiled to rinse off the injured areas. After sterilising the injury, Long uses soil taken from the nest of termites or fermented rice to cover the open injury.
“Both substances have antibiotic functions and kill parasites and work very well for elephants with tumours,” Long said.

- a lot of humans believe that mitochondria has a higher mutation rate then other organelles. I suspect that since this component was designed for energy creation parts of it are supposed to "burn off" much in the same way that electrochemical batteries wear down over time?
mitochondria mutation rate comparison
The mtDNA molecule contains only 37 genes. ... The mutation rate in mtDNA is ten times higher than in nuclear DNA because mtDNA are subject to damage from reactive oxygen molecules released as a byproduct during OXPHOS.
Moreover, the mitochondrial genome has a higher mutation rate (about 100-fold higher) than the nuclear genome. This leads to a heterogeneous population of mitochondrial DNA within the same cell, and even within the same mitochondrion; as a result, mitochondria are considered heteroplasmic.
The mitochondrion (/ˌmʌɪtəˈkɒndrɪən/, /-təʊ-/,[1] plural mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Some cells in some multicellular organisms may, however, lack them (for example, mature mammalian red blood cells). A number of unicellular organisms, such as microsporidia, parabasalids, and diplomonads, have also reduced or transformed their mitochondria into other structures.[2] To date, only one eukaryote, Monocercomonoides, is known to have completely lost its mitochondria.[3] The word mitochondrion comes from the Greek μίτος, mitos, "thread", and χονδρίον, chondrion, "granule"[4] or "grain-like". Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy.[5] A mitochondrion is thus termed the powerhouse of the cell.[6]
Mitochondria are commonly between 0.75 and 3 μm² in area[7] but vary considerably in size and structure. Unless specifically stained, they are not visible. In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in other tasks, such as signaling, cellular differentiation, and cell death, as well as maintaining control of the cell cycle and cell growth.[8] Mitochondrial biogenesis is in turn temporally coordinated with these cellular processes.[9][10] Mitochondria have been implicated in several human diseases, including mitochondrial disorders,[11] cardiac dysfunction,[12] heart failure[13] and autism.[14]
- bio-organics much more efficient (if you actually think about it and understand it properly) then human technology? If not enough energy is maintained cells die off. Excess energy is actually 'burnt off', etc... Extremely efficient compared with many human technologies where circuits still exist or power levels must be maintained. It just feels too efficient to have come about through sheer randomness?
- there are a lot of abberations in human science in general (if you think enough about it) and occurences in the Universe which indicate that intelligent life may possibly exist elsewhere?

- in reality most of the difficult work is done by a small proportion of humanity? Evolution says that humans should be in constant competition to see who is the fittest. Obviously, the real world isn't really like that and there are many examples of animal and human behaviour which suggests that lazy animals and people can be just as successful as productive animals and people?

Now, the original team has published another paper claiming that additional research they conducted showed that their original claims were correct. But others in the field are still not convinced. One team published a paper in the same journal issue outlining their experience attempting the same procedure on mice. They claim that large, undesired deletions occurred in the embryo genome. Another team pointed out in their paper that the technique used by the original researchers could not work because DNA from the male and female in the embryo is physically separated during early development—because of that, there would be no way for the embryo to use the mother's DNA to repair the section cut out using CRISPR. Others have also noted that there is no way to tell for sure if the technique used by the original research team made other cuts that could not be seen, leading to other possible birth defects.
To date, no other team has attempted to replicate the original team's efforts due to governmental restrictions or outright bans on working with human embryos.
The human psyche hates any form of cognitive dissonance – or challenge to ingrained beliefs – and so scientists think the struggles through which born-again Christians go in order to overcome their old modes of thinking cause severe stress to their brains.

genome map by function
Functional genomics is a field of molecular biology that attempts to describe gene (and protein) functions and interactions. Functional genomics make use of the vast data generated by genomic and transcriptomic projects (such as genome sequencing projects and RNA sequencing). Functional genomics focuses on the dynamic aspects such as gene transcription, translation, regulation of gene expression and protein–protein interactions, as opposed to the static aspects of the genomic information such as DNA sequence or structures. A key characteristic of functional genomics studies is their genome-wide approach to these questions, generally involving high-throughput methods rather than a more traditional “gene-by-gene” approach.

Numerical Abnormalities: When an individual is missing one of the chromosomes from a pair, the condition is called monosomy. When an individual has more than two chromosomes instead of a pair, the condition is called trisomy.
Structural Abnormalities: A chromosome's structure can be altered in several ways.
Deletions: A portion of the chromosome is missing or deleted.
Duplications: A portion of the chromosome is duplicated, resulting in extra genetic material. 
Translocations: A portion of one chromosome is transferred to another chromosome. There are two main types of translocation. In a reciprocal translocation, segments from two different chromosomes have been exchanged. In a Robertsonian translocation, an entire chromosome has attached to another at the centromere.
Inversions: A portion of the chromosome has broken off, turned upside down, and reattached. As a result, the genetic material is inverted. 
Rings: A portion of a chromosome has broken off and formed a circle or ring. This can happen with or without loss of genetic material.
- despite what is said on the surface it's really obvious that a lot of humans are really sceptical that they evolved from a single cell? In fact, a lot of sci-fi series and movies come up with all sorts of alternate theories which aren't that far off of what the religions have said? The more research I do into this and the more sceptical of it as well (Jim Simons also seems to be interested in this and is funding research into this?)? As part of other work I've been working on (medical search engine and data mining for various purposes) the notes seem to indicate a lot of structure seems to go into building humans a lot of other animals. If things work out the one the way they should it'll make understanding the makeup of human biology a lot easier? If you add up the probabilities it just seems very difficult to believe that humans could somehow self assemble from a single cell?

Rush: The Ancients did not devote the efforts of an entire generation to build this ship on a whim. Neither was Destiny named on a whim. Over a million years ago, the Ancients discovered the complex structure buried deep within the background radiation. The fingerprints of an intelligence that existed very near the beginning of time itself. Destiny was launched in search of that intelligence. Who knows how close we are to finding it. How close we are to learning, in the Ancients' words, "the destiny of all things." I don't pretend to know when that's going to be, in which stars it will happen, or even how that will change our view of the universe. I only know that Destiny has come this far and if we abandon her now, there'll be no coming back. All of that knowledge will be lost, forever. I believe this journey is the reason I'm here, but I can't hope to do it alone. I ask you to come with me.

- one thing I find remarkable is the ability of the human body to maintain balance of proportion as it grows/ages? For instance, our organs and limbs seem to maintain proportionality and ratios in pretty good balance as we grow. Is reduction of bone density as we grow older a mechanism to deal with overall system strength decline? Can the same be said of energy production via mitochondria?
sleep by age
The National Sleep Foundation convened experts from sleep, anatomy and physiology, as well as pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology to reach a consensus from the broadest range of scientific disciplines. The panel revised the recommended sleep ranges for all six children and teen age groups. A summary of the new recommendations includes:
Newborns (0-3 months): Sleep range narrowed to 14-17 hours each day (previously it was 12-18)
Infants (4-11 months): Sleep range widened two hours to 12-15 hours (previously it was 14-15)
Toddlers (1-2 years): Sleep range widened by one hour to 11-14 hours (previously it was 12-14)
Preschoolers (3-5): Sleep range widened by one hour to 10-13 hours (previously it was 11-13)
School age children (6-13): Sleep range widened by one hour to 9-11 hours (previously it was 10-11)
Teenagers (14-17): Sleep range widened by one hour to 8-10 hours (previously it was 8.5-9.5)
Younger adults (18-25): Sleep range is 7-9 hours (new age category)
Adults (26-64): Sleep range did not change and remains 7-9 hours
Older adults (65+): Sleep range is 7-8 hours (new age category)
- jumps in fossil record
jump fossil record
Punctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that once a species appears in the fossil record the population will become stable, showing little evolutionary change for most of its geological history.[1] This state of little or no morphological change is called stasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and geologically rapid events of branching speciation called cladogenesis. Cladogenesis is the process by which a species splits into two distinct species, rather than one species gradually transforming into another.[2]
Punctuated equilibrium is commonly contrasted against phyletic gradualism, the idea that evolution generally occurs uniformly and by the steady and gradual transformation of whole lineages (called anagenesis). In this view, evolution is seen as generally smooth and continuous.[3]
In 1972, paleontologists Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould published a landmark paper developing their theory and called it punctuated equilibria.[1] Their paper built upon Ernst Mayr's model of geographic speciation,[4] I. Michael Lerner's theories of developmental and genetic homeostasis,[5] and their own empirical research.[6][7] Eldredge and Gould proposed that the degree of gradualism commonly attributed to Charles Darwin[8] is virtually nonexistent in the fossil record, and that stasis dominates the history of most fossil species.
But, as Dr Donoghue explained: “We consider this picture – a view of living animals only – is seriously distorted. What appear to be evolutionary jumps are really just gaps in the evolutionary tree – dead branches that have fallen by the wayside. These branches are not 'missing links', more like ‘missed’ links, and when we use the fossil record to put them back in place, the vertebrate evolutionary tree looks very different."
Dr Purnell said: “The new evidence from research into ancient fossil fish reveals that the 'jump' between lampreys and sharks turns out to be nothing of the sort. The major changes in anatomy didn't occur suddenly, as a result of a gene doubling; they took place over 70 million years or more, through a series of intermediate, but now extinct fossil fish.”
Donoghue and Purnell have thrown down the gauntlet to geneticists, saying: "Fossils may be long extinct, their genes having rotted away millions of years ago, but if geneticists want to say anything meaningful about evolution they must include fossils in the vertebrate family tree – they cannot simply ignore them".

- evolutionary theorists say that there is gradual progression of events over time but it's not like that. Humans and animals are clearly intelligent. This can lead to drastic changes/jumps in ecosystems (which we seem to be witnessing). It feels like the plan of the elite is to consume/destroy everthing and then try to bring it back?

Random Quotes:
- Yup, from that answer it's quite obvious that you're not a lawyer.
By and large, courts have adopted the idea of assumed risk for situations where a person lives by a golf course (refusing to hold golfers liable for wayward shots provided there was sufficient attempt to warn, e.g. the golfer yelling "fore"), so there's at least one immediate exception to your idea that, "If anyone damages anything by accident, they are responsible for it". Granted, operating a vehicle on a public road is different than voluntarily purchasing or occupying a house next to a golf course, but that still doesn't change the overall standard.
The standard is simply, "due care under the circumstances". Unless the OP can somehow prove that the golfer was negligent in the manner in which he hit the ball (e.g. hitting a driver for a 60-yard shot near the edge of the course, intentionally aiming for the road, etc.), there are precious few legal avenues available for recovery against the golfer himself.
However, there may be a path for recovery against the course itself, (though this is still iffy) on the grounds that the course failed to exercise due care by putting up netting. This is not to say that the course is responsible for the golfer's actions, but rather that the course is responsible for its own inaction. There are various methods used to determine just what sort of precautions constitute "due care" in this sort of scenario though and if the course can show, for example, that installing netting would cost $1,000,000 and only prevent $1,000 in expected damages, the course would probably not be held liable.
That said, for practical matters, the OP has a decent chance that a simple "nasty-gram" sent to the golf course will get his dent repair paid for. The course won't want to fight it and their insurance will cover it, so that's probably the way to go if he's set on recovery.

- Food Agility CEO Dr Mike Briers said Yarrabilba would ultimately become a national model for digitally integrated, sustainable urban agriculture and the ‘circular food economy’.
“The world is grappling with a major food challenge: how to make enough healthy food to feed a growing population, with less available land while minimising waste and environmental impact.
“Yarrabilba will be a test ground for how we can embed cutting-edge digital technologies into the design of our cities to create local food systems fuelled by food waste.”
Stage two of the 3-year project involves establishing small-scale food production enterprises where goods and services can be exchanged via Smartphone technology.
Yarrabilba Development Director, Michelle Wooldridge, said the research will be incorporated into Lendlease‘s development plans at Yarrabilba.
“This will be the first circular economy community that integrates social, economic and environmental values to provide a dynamic and empowered community that fosters sharing, access, connection, diversity and control.
“We’re looking at environmental sustainability and community health in a whole new way and building in the necessary infrastructure from the beginning. We also think this will generate economic opportunities, whether that’s through urban farming, creating value out of waste or food-based tourism.”
- China tried democracy in 1911. It failed. Historically China had dynastic changes where one dynasty fell followed by warfare among the rebels till one emerges to start a new dynasty. In that time period of rebellion, fall of dynasty, civil war among rebels and new ruler emerges the Chinese can lose up to 1/3 of her population due to the chaos, fighting, breakdown of society and starvation before order is restored. Just calculate the human life lost when the last Manchu dynasty was overthrown in 1911, followed by the Republic, followed by a decade of the warlord period before order was re established by one party authoritarian rule of the KMT. If the Chinese people were to dump the CCP what will they replace it with? There is no major organized party to replace the CCP. If the CCP fell China will have chaos because there will be infighting among the democracy movement before a leader emerges. The Uighurs, Tibetans and Inner Mongolians will not wait for the majority Chinese to sort it out, they will simply declare independence with the US backing their independence. Taiwan might even declare independence to escape the mainland democratic chaos. To declare the Chinese want change over security is not a given considering the Chinese experience with change and democracy. Given the prospects of a smaller and weaker China, the US is more than happy to promote democracy in China. How did the democracy period fare after the Soviet Union fell for the average Russian citizen? Breakdown of law and order, kleptocracy, poverty, pensions stopped, unemployment and near starvation.
