Forget Fall Cleanup! Autumn Gardening Tips to Help Pollinators
COME AUTUMN, as temperatures drop and summer flowers fade, gardeners in most parts of the country turn their attention to the annual chore known as “fall cleanup” then assume they’re done until the following spring. But for gardeners who care about wildlife, autumn is an ideal time for tasks that have an impact year-round. “Just because the seasons are changing, don’t think there are no opportunities to help wildlife,” says National Wildlife Federation Naturalist David Mizejewski. “That’s especially true if you’re trying to support birds, butterflies, bees and other pollinators.” Here’s what he and other experts suggest.
Leave the leaves. In many places, raking and bagging fallen leaves is expected—and may even be required by cities and homeowners associations. But the need to dispose of leaves is “one of the biggest false assumptions about fall cleanup,” says Mizejewski, “and it’s a bad idea if you want to help wildlife survive winter, see butterflies in spring or have your vegetables pollinated in summer.” Leaf litter on a garden bed creates habitat for wildlife, from small mammals and reptiles and amphibians to overwintering bees and moth and butterfly larvae. If you have too many leaves, rake to the corners of your property or use as mulch. Sending leaves to a landfill is the worst option, robbing your soil of natural fertilizer and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
Nurture fall-blooming native plants. Because many plants stop flowering by late summer, maintaining those that bloom into or through fall is critical for pollinators, including migrating monarch butterflies and native bees. In social species such as bumble bees and many sweat bees, “only mated queens live through winter, so they need forage to put on fat during late summer and early fall,” says James Cane, a biologist and head of the nonprofit WildBeecology. He recommends goldenrods, asters, sunflowers and, in much of the West, rabbitbrush.

Psychophysics gains a new law of sensory perception that also sheds light on subjective perception
First we have to understand Weber’s Law:
Weber’s law, also called Weber-Fechner law, historically important psychological law quantifying the perception of change in a given stimulus. The law states that the change in a stimulus that will be just noticeable is a constant ratio of the original stimulus. It has been shown not to hold for extremes of stimulation. (Weber’s Law)
Hang in with this, it’s interesting.
About 200 years ago, the German physician Ernst Heinrich Weber made a seemingly innocuous observation which led to the birth of the discipline of Psychophysics – the science relating physical stimuli in the world and the sensations they evoke in the mind of a subject. Weber asked subjects to say which of two slightly different weights was heavier. From these experiments , he discovered that the probability that a subject will make the right choice only depends on the ratio between the weights.
For instance, if a subject is correct 75% of the time when comparing a weight of 1 Kg and a weight of 1.1 Kg, then she will also be correct 75% of the time when comparing two weights of 2 and 2.2 Kg – or, in general, any pair of weights where one is 10% heavier than the other. This simple but precise rule opened the door to the quantification of behavior in terms of mathematical ‘laws’. (NEUROSCIENTISTS MAKE MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN 200-YEAR-OLD PUZZLE)
What’s new today is Time–Intensity Equivalence in Discrimination (TIED):
We investigated Weber’s law by training rats to discriminate the relative intensity of sounds at the two ears at various absolute levels. These experiments revealed the existence of a psychophysical regularity, which we term time–intensity equivalence in discrimination (TIED), describing how reaction times change as a function of absolute level. (The mechanistic foundation of Weber’s law)
Simply stated TIED says that the intensity of the stimulus determines the time it takes to “just notice” a change in it and that that scales linearaly as intensity changes up or down. For example, changes in louder sounds are noticed quicker than proportionally equal changes in quieter sounds and this can be scaled mathematically.
TIED is a new theory and needs more research, but whether it works out perfectly or not, I think it shows something very important about our individual and shared subjective perceptions of words, gestures, meanings, intentions, implications, and so on including all semiotics.
At present, we do not have machines that can measure our subjective perceptions, but we can surely feel them. And with training, we can also decently calibrate them.
Most of us can already vaguely talk about our subjective perceptions of each other, but few of us know how to do that with the precision of Weber’s Law or TIED. This is because we are all unique and we all react uniquely to each other. On top of that, few are able to employ language efficiently enough to capture significant detail when describing subjective responses or impressions.
FIML provides a very useful method for isolating and calibrating individual, idiosyncratic subjective perceptions.
Consistent, repeated use of FIML gradually recalibrates and reorganizes the entire psychologies of both partners.
FIML has virtually no content.. FIML is a method, and as such it allows partners to gradually identify, isolate, measure, and reorganize their entire body of psychological data, however they construe it.

First-ever gene therapy trial to cure form of deafness begins
Professor Manohar Bance, an ear surgeon at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust who is leading the trial in the UK, said a decision by the NHS last year to start funding genetic testing for hearing loss had been crucial in “changing the whole landscape” for the development of gene therapies.
Gene therapies now held remarkable promise to restore hearing, he suggested. “It’s the dawn of a new era,” he added.
Auditory neuropathy can be due to a variation in a single gene—known as the OTOF gene—which produces a protein called otoferlin. This protein typically allows the inner hair cells in the ear to communicate with the hearing nerve.
Mutations in the OTOF gene can be identified by genetic testing. However, Bance said it was a condition often missed when newborn babies were screened for potential hearing problems. “This is one of the few conditions where everything works except the transmission between the hair cells and the nerve. So everything else looks fine when you test it, but they can’t hear anything. So these poor kids’ [difficulties] end up being missed,” Bance added.
The new gene therapy aims to deliver a working copy of the faulty OTOF gene using a modified, non-pathogenic virus. It will be delivered via an injection into the cochlea under general anesthetic.
Email exchange on war & power in today’s world
It is a strange time. Because there was some kind of takeover full domination and depopulation plan, yet it was based on also having hegemony. Hegemony is breaking down, but the domination and depopulation plan is still in motion. Maybe this is how it should go, but it doesn’t seem that way. Maybe there is a notion they can do both at once—however this seems epically stupid. Also it seems this whole plan was put into motion by people who are now geriatric hard to know because it is all secret.
I do suspect British Royal Family and other euro royals are big players. Then organizations set up by the American robber barons in the Early 1900s. That used to all be quite naked to the public but the advent of PR put it in the shadows. The UK royals are all in on the money and put their faces everywhere in Canada and Australia. Much like you see the UAE royals have shops and hotel all put up portraits of them. That is Raw power. Much like Xi making everyone study Xi thought.
The one thing that got me thinking lately is the economic cost of a wrong view. I mean each wrong view likely costs us some amount as we make poorer decisions about everything else. Think of the economic cost of someone vaccine injured. But then all the other bits of lack of information. How much time we spend on such things. And then the cost to society when people are massively misinformed.

I agree with what you say and also I think the possibility must be considered that the cabal in the West has a super weapon which nobody knows about but them. This weapon would be powerful enough to ensure victory against any and all opponents on Earth. I do believe this is a real possibility and cannot be dismissed.

A former Hamas chief has called for protests to take place across the Muslim world on Friday in support of the Palestinians, and for the peoples of neighboring countries to join the fight against Israel.
‘[We must] head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday,’ said Khaled Meshaal, who currently heads Hamas’s diaspora office.
Meshaal, who is based in Qatar, said the governments and peoples of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt have a bigger duty to support the Palestinians.
‘Tribes of Jordan, sons of Jordan, brothers and sisters of Jordan… This is a moment of truth and the borders are close to you, you all know your responsibility,’ Meshaal said in a recorded statement. ‘To all scholars who teach jihad… to all who teach and learn, this is a moment for the application (of theories).’
Jordan and Lebanon are home to the largest number of Palestinian refugees.
Steve Bannon — What happened in Israel ‘is coming to USA as sure as the turning of the earth’
There is a strong possibility that tomorrow, Friday 13th, there will be Hamas attacks in USA. The MIHOP attacks in Israel may lead to what are fundamentally MIHOP attacks in USA; MIHOP since the Biden admin allowed untold numbers of bad actors to pour across the border. A consequence of attacks in USA will be an enraged American population dying to be sucked into another world war. Just a few savage attacks will change the mood of this country overnight, especially since we have all been primed by the violent raid in Israel. Ukraine primed us as well. I am not saying it will definitely happen but the conditions to go to war with Iran and more are all in place. I see two other factors: 1) the cabal that controls the West, including Israel, is incompetent and has lost touch with reality and may bring debacle; or 2) they have a super weapon that ensures a decisive and violent win. If point two is correct, their incompetence has been a ruse to fool their enemies. ABN
White House signals end of funding for Ukraine War: Kirby — funding ‘near to the end of the rope… not going to be indefinite’
The attack in Israel has provided the offramp for US neocon/ NATO hot action in Ukraine, for now anyway. This pot will still be on the stove simmering. If you are going for global domination, you have to have a big stove. Today’s geopolitical conditions can best be understood in light of some assumptions about how top cabal actors understand the world and what they want. What they want is unequivocal global domination and this means all parts of the world are in play and no populations are especially respected. Witness the MIHOP attacks in Israel. An attack on Iran will constitute an attack on BRICS, as will messing with China and Russia. Central Asia was the center of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard and appears to be so today as well.
