I’m Arielle   Karissa  And I’m Karissa. And we’re working hard to put solutions in view and optimism in movement.  Arielle  All right, we’re back with another episode of our pod to share the solutions from the optimists daily this week. And I have to say there were a lot of really cool solutions. I had a hard time picking what I wanted to talk about actually   Karissa  Me too! I was overwhelmed with optimism this week from all the great solutions that we had. So, I’m excited to share the ones we did end up choosing.  Karissa  How are you doing, Arielle?   Arielle  I’m doing pretty well. I am trying not to be too sad about the weather. It’s just been very rainy here.   Karissa  Yeah  Arielle  But I know that you’re kind of experiencing the opposite in California, which I feel like we talk about every week, but…  Karissa  Oh yeah. Arielle  This is just the drudgery of our day-to-day lives having to deal with the weather.  Karissa  I saw something the other day and it was such a good point about how talking about the weather is actually like… it’s small talk, but it’s actually something so significant and can hold a lot more meaning when you look into it.  Arielle  Yeah. And I guess it like… it connects strangers. It’s a shared experience that you know that you’re sharing with that person because they’re like, with their umbrella fighting against the wind as well or sweltering in the heat.  Karissa  Sharing or comparing. Since we’re on the opposite sides of the world, comparing can be good too, because then we see what we’re going through and stuff. So yeah, super hot over here. Heat waves and some fires happening in California.  Arielle  Yeah.  Karissa  Which is never good. Pretty scary. But, gotta be optimistic. We’re gonna look into publishing next week some of our climate resilient solutions to keep our spirits a little bit uplifted so.  Arielle  Yeah. And just how people cope. But speaking of seeing things from other people’s perspectives and perhaps being a little bit more accessible, Karissa and I have some exciting news to share about the podcast. And it’s that we have transcripts available now for our podcasts. And this is something that came into discussion because one of our first episodes, or I think maybe the first episode of the season, had to do with emergency care for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. And we realized that we were speaking about solutions for a community that we are actually not accessible to. At least in podcast format, and we definitely wanted to change that and try and make our podcast as inclusive and accessible as possible. So from here on out, there will definitely be transcription links in the show notes, but we’re still working on getting the previous episodes up and running as well. But they should be published soon, so keep an eye out for that when you’re looking at the description of the episodes.  Karissa  I’m really excited about this addition because, you know, we always want to be as accessible and inclusive as we can on the Optimist Daily, so.  Arielle  Exactly. But yeah, I guess those are all of our housekeeping updates.  Karissa  I think we’re ready to dive into our solutions today, Arielle.  Arielle  Well, I guess my mind was really on amputations and prosthetics and health solutions, medical solutions because both of the articles that I wanted to talk about had to do with amputations and…  Karissa  Okay. Arielle  …Solutions for that.  Karissa  Mm-hmm.  Arielle  The first one that I was thinking about had to do with a bionic prosthetic. But then I ended up going with this weird and wonderful nature solution which is entitled “Florida carpenter ants: Nature’s teeny tiny surgeons and wound care experts.” So, did you know Karissa that these little ants are basically the doctors of the insect Kingdom?  Karissa I can honestly say I had no idea that they were, but I’m really excited to hear more.  Arielle  These Florida carpenter ants have been observed performing pretty advanced medical procedures. They clean and even amputate the limbs of their injured peers to save their lives.  Karissa  Oh my gosh, this is pretty intense for these little ants to do. How did, you know, researchers figure out that ants are doing this?  Arielle  An international team of researchers published a study in Current Biology about these ants’ medical skills. Erik Frank, a behavioral ecologist from the University of Würzburg… I hope I’m saying that right… Led the study. He mentioned that this is the only known case in the Animal Kingdom where one individual systematically amputates another’s limb.  Karissa  How do these ant doctors decide when to clean and when to amputate their little patients?  Arielle  That’s a really good question. So, they actually have a very targeted approach. The researchers found that ants deal with two main types of injuries: femur lacerations and tibial lacerations. For femur injuries, they often clean the wound first and then amputate the leg. And for tibia injuries, they stick to just cleaning the wound, and this method increases survival rates significantly.   Karissa  Pretty sophisticated medical procedures going on over there with these ants.   Arielle  I know! (laughs)  Karissa  Is there any idea on how effective these treatments are? Since you mentioned that the survival rates are significant, so.  Arielle  Yeah, the study shows that ants with treated femur injuries had a survival rate of 90 to 95 %, and for tibia injuries, the survival rate was about 75%. In comparison, untreated injuries had much lower survival rates, 40% for the femur and only 15% for tibia injury.  Karissa  Huh. So impressive. This is so cool. Why do they use different treatments, though, for different injuries?  Arielle  Yeah, it all comes down to the impact on blood circulation. So, femur injuries involve a lot of muscle tissue that’s critical for pumping blood, so they need to amputate to prevent infections and basically keep the ant alive. And tibia injuries, on the other hand, don’t affect blood flow as much, so cleaning is usually enough. But if they don’t amputate tibia injuries quickly when it’s actually needed, then it can be fatal for the little ant.  Karissa  Well, I guess this all makes sense, but it’s so interesting! I didn’t realize that ants had such intricate medical knowledge. How long does it take them to perform these amputations? Is it like a human surgery where it’s hours?  Arielle  No, actually, it takes them about 40 minutes to complete an ant-assisted amputation. Which is still like… It’s such a complicated procedure. I already was impressed with ants because they can lift so much more than their body weight, but I did not know that it went into this type of realm. But yeah, delaying the surgeries can increase the risk of lethal infections. So, Laurent Keller, another researcher from the University of Lausanne highlighted that ants spend more time cleaning tibia wounds to limit the spread of bacteria.  Karissa  Do they get any ant training? I guess? This medical ant training or is it all natural to them?  Arielle  Apparently, it’s all innate behavior. So, according to Keller, these ants don’t really learn this, so there’s no formal training or… there’s no communication, I guess.   Karissa  No ant med school?  Arielle  No, no, I guess not! Because I mean, with bees, they communicate where certain nectar sources are through dancing. So, you’d think that maybe the ants also can communicate somehow what they’ve learned but, they can diagnose a wound, check if it’s infected, and treat it accordingly. Without any training whatsoever.  Karissa  So, are there any other species that do this, or is it just the Florida Carpenter ants?  Arielle  Well, researchers are currently investigating whether other species of Carpenter ants, especially those with antimicrobial glands, perform similar amputations and this could help us understand how these medical behaviors evolved.  Karissa  Yeah. Well, I can’t wait to hear what they find out. Imagine if this kind of behavior is more common than we thought.  Arielle  Yeah, I know. And I… I know that I usually pick stories about animal intelligence whenever they come up. But.  Karissa  (laughing) Yeah, I was going to say.  Arielle  It’s just so fascinating, and the actual study is titled: Wound dependent leg amputations to combat infections in an ant society, and it’s opening up so many fascinating questions about these tiny little medics. But kind of along the same vein I also saw… I was just scrolling through Instagram, and I saw that there was an orangutan seen treating a wound that it had on its face with like a medical plant. And apparently that’s the first time scientists have observed this in the wild. So. Yeah, apparently we’re just surrounded by animal Kingdom doctors.  Karissa  Totally  Arielle  Which I find really cool.   Karissa  Yeah. I really like this, and I love how, like you said, Arielle, how you’re always picking these solutions that connect us with the animal/insect kingdom, and their intelligence. So, I feel like it really makes me feel a lot more connected to, you know, the species we cohabitate this earth with. So. Very interesting.  Arielle  I guess that’s uh, that’s it for me in the medical health sphere. But you have something also related to health in a different way.   Karissa  Yeah, something to do with mental health. So, the title of my solution is called: Zimbabwean grandmothers transform mental health care globally.  A deceptively simple yet revolutionary mental health therapy based on grandmother’s wisdom and sensitivity took root in Zimbabwe. Now, it is being embraced around the world, including in the United States. These older women, equipped with basic training and problem-solving therapies, sit on benches and quiet corners of community clinics, churches, poor neighborhoods, and universities ready to listen and engage in one-on-one conversations. This technique revives an ancient Zimbabwean practice in which grandmothers served as pillars of knowledge during difficult times.  Arielle  Yeah, this is so sweet as well, and it makes so much sense, because grandmothers have always been rooted in their families and communities, and they’re sharing their wisdom and…  Karissa  Totally. I feel like it really stood out to me because I know I go to my grandmother a lot for any wisdom and advice. Just this weekend I was having like a very deep conversation with her because I was feeling a little distressed about nothing like super major. Just, I’m like, you know…what am I gonna do with my life?   Arielle  Aww  Karissa  So yeah, this really was convenient timing. This initiative uses the power of grandmotherly wisdom to help those with mental health challenges and was pioneered and furthered by psychiatry professor Dixon Chibanda. His revolutionary mental health solution has received international praise. His inspiration for this “friendship bench” is what it’s called, the premise of these grandmothers on the benches giving out good mental health advice, therapy and such, stemmed from his own personal sorrow. Because in 2005, a patient who couldn’t afford the $15 bus fare to see him decided to take her own life.  Arielle  Oh my. Oh no.  Karissa  Pretty unfortunate, but it sparked a great solution to help prevent this in the future. He said because of this, he realized that he needed to have a stronger presence in the community and to do this, he recruited 14 grandmothers near his Harare hospital and trained them in basic mental health support. Today, this network of over 2000 grandmothers, funded by Zimbabwe’s Health Ministry and the World Health Organization, has grown. These grandmothers provided therapy to almost 200,000 Zimbabweans by 2023, so that’s pretty impressive.   Arielle  Wow, that’s quite a lot.  Karissa  And in 2022, the McNulty Foundation in the United States awarded him at $150,000 prize for transforming mental healthcare. Now the Friendship Bench concept has spread across Vietnam, Botswana, Malawi, Kenya and Tanzania. It is also in the early stages in London, so yeah, this idea has really spread.  Arielle  Yeah, that’s really wonderful to hear. Can you share a bit more on how the concept is being used like in other places in the world?  Karissa  Yeah. So, in New York City, for instance, the friendship bench has also sparked new mental health programs. So, the city’s mental health plan, which was introduced last year, is drawing inspiration from the friendship bench to combat social isolation by installing orange benches throughout Harlem, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. And HelpAgeUSA in Washington, DC, is exploring the concept as part of the DC Grandparents for Mental Health campaign. I love that that’s an organization  Arielle  Aww  Karissa   Grandparents for mental health!  Arielle  That’s so cute.  Karissa  Cindy Cox-Roman, who is the President and CEO of HelpAge USA, reports that 20 grandmothers have received training in listening, empathizing, and empowering others.  Arielle  This method is really a great and accessible way to get help and address your mental health concerns because, I guess a lot of it seems out of reach people and there’s a lot of like hoops to jump through, even if you’re getting government-subsidized mental health support, there’s usually a lot of forms and things that you have to fill out. But I love how simple (laughs) I love how simple this solution is. It’s just as easy as getting a bench…  Karissa  Yeah.  Arielle  …Putting a grandparent on it and letting someone talk about their feelings.  Karissa  Yeah. And a lot of times, you know the most simple solutions are the best solutions and most effective. So, but yeah, it really is accessible because as you’re kind of touching on, there is like a mental health stigma. So, a lot of people might have a hard time, like reaching out for mental health support.  Arielle  Mhm.  Karissa  And there also is a lack of faith or access in medical systems, too. So, people around the world frequently have limited access to care, especially for mental health. As the HelpAge USA CEO says, people are hurting, and a grandmother can always make you feel better. The grandmothers are aiming to reduce stigma and promote open discussions about feelings with their grandmotherly wisdom.  Arielle  And this is also probably a good thing for the grandmothers too, since we’ve written a lot about how elderly people in their later years can suffer a lot from loneliness and boredom. And this will foster intergenerational friendships and relationships, and also just get them out of the house and interacting with society. So, this is a win-win.  Karissa  Yeah. Totally, I think, uh, those are such good points, and it probably serves as a really nice symbiotic relationship between grandmothers and community members going through rough times. So, I feel like it must be pretty fulfilling for these elders, who I’m sure a lot of them are volunteering in their communities. So, you know, it must have a very great sense of purpose And give them something to do. When I saw the solution I was like, I think this is something my grandma would enjoy doing because. Yeah, she likes to stay busy in her retirement, but it’s still not enough for her. We joke that she needs to be working like 80 hours a week because. She’s always…  Arielle  Oh wow!   Karissa  We love that she has a lot of energy, cause hopefully she’ll be with us for a long time. Yeah. So I think this is great and hopefully, we’ll see it in more places soon and in more of our communities. Because according to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than one-fifth of all adults in the United States in particular suffer from mental illness. Here we have a very viable and simple solution with the friendship bench, which provides someone you can trust. Open up your heart to. And tell your deepest secrets too.  Arielle  Aw, this is so sweet  Karissa  Yeah, it really warmed my heart this week and made me feel optimistic so,  Arielle  That’s good. That was a great roundup of solutions, as usual. And we have some other great solutions from this week that you can find on our website, optimistdaily.com.  Karissa  We have: Breakthrough and green hydrogen production: cobalt and water replace rare Iridium. Denmark to pioneer CO2 tax on farms and a global first. Relationship audit: 10 essential questions to strengthen your connection. Tiny spas for endangered frogs battling fatal fungi. Another spa solution! I almost did that one cause it’s related to the beer solution.  Arielle  Oh yeah, that’s right.  Karissa  All right. What else do you have, Arielle?  Arielle  So, we have: Namibia High Court lifts ban on gay sex, a win for human rights. Expert tips and tricks to stop your sunscreen from pilling. Oh, that’s annoying. I should definitely check that one out.  Karissa  Oh yeah, me too.   Arielle   And this is the other one that I wanted to pick! Bionic leg breakthrough: mind-controlled prosthetics transform mobility for amputees. And finally, How to stop ‘stresslaxing’ and actually relax.  Karissa  I like that one. I almost picked that one today, but, I wanted to talk about something more optimistic, so (laughs).  Arielle  Yeah, I mean, lots of really good solutions on the Optimist Daily this week. So, everybody go check it out. But anyway, if you want to start your day off right, make sure to subscribe to our free daily newsletter to get our solutions straight to your inbox.  Karissa  We also have more on our social channels. You can find us @OptimistDaily on all of our platforms, including Threads and Pinterest. The only difference is on X we’re known as @OdeToOptimism.  Arielle  We are a small team of optimists working hard to bring you positive news if you want to support our mission of putting optimism into the world, click on the link in the show notes to find out how.  Karissa  Yeah, and support doesn’t always have to be financial. Even just recommending our podcast to a friend, leaving a positive review on Apple or Spotify, forwarding a link to a friend, or sharing a solution on your socials would be a great help.  Arielle  All right. Well, I hope you enjoy your weekend, Karissa. Whatever you end up doing.  Karissa  Yeah, I hope you do too, Arielle, and all of our listeners as well. It was great to be here with you as always.  Arielle  Yes, I agree. It’s always fun to share the solutions with you. Now, I am going to get cozy because it is storming outside in the Netherlands right now, so. We’ll be back next week, same time, to share more solutions with you all.  Karissa  See you next time! Bye!     The post July 12, 2024: Florida Carpenter Ants Impress with Surgery Skills and Zimbabwean Grandmothers for Mental Health first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

A recent study has reignited interest in the eerie correlation between UFO sightings and nuclear weapons facilities in the United States, suggesting that these mysterious encounters might be more than mere coincidence. Researchers Larry Hancock and Ian Porritt conducted an in-depth analysis of over 500 well-documented UFO cases from the Cold War era, drawing some unsettling conclusions about the possible motivations behind these sightings, reports dailymail.co.uk. Since the first atomic bomb detonation at the Trinity test site in 1945, military personnel and government scientists have reported numerous UFO sightings near America’s sensitive nuclear sites. Notable incidents include the 1967 Malmstrom Air Force Base event, where UFOs reportedly deactivated ten nuclear missiles, an event documented by the US Strategic Air Command​​. The study, which spans decades of UFO reports, highlights a persistent pattern: these unidentified objects frequently appeared at key nuclear weapons facilities such as the Hanford nuclear production complex and the Los Alamos laboratory. For instance, on May 21, 1949, a silvery, disc-shaped UFO was seen hovering over Hanford, tracked by radar, and pursued unsuccessfully by an F-82 fighter jet​. The researchers propose that these UFOs exhibit a profound understanding of atomic energy and nuclear weaponry, raising the possibility that their presence might be an attempt to monitor or even prevent nuclear annihilation. This hypothesis challenges earlier suspicions that these sightings were merely Soviet reconnaissance efforts or results of faulty equipment and overactive imaginations​. Further analysis reveals that these UFO encounters often involved multiple objects performing complex maneuvers, primarily occurring during daylight in the early years and transitioning to more nighttime sightings as time went on. The study also considered UFO reports from non-nuclear military sites and nearby civilian areas to control for potential biases, ensuring the patterns observed were not random or misinterpreted​. Hancock and Porritt’s findings suggest that the UFO phenomena near nuclear sites are part of a deliberate effort by an unknown intelligence to engage with humanity’s most destructive capabilities. This study is a continuation of Hancock’s previous work and underscores the need for further investigation into the link between UFOs and nuclear weapons, a connection that has persisted for over half a century.

In the immediate aftermath of the press conference seen ‘round the world, NBC Washington Correspondent Mike Memoli provided us with a masterclass in cope, and an insight into how we all got gaslight into believing President Joe Biden is some sort of foreign policy expert. Watch as Memoli laments that Biden’s foreign policy mastery was outshined by “Vice President Trump”- the “flubs”. (click “expand): MSNBC- ALL IN WITH CHRIS HAYES 7/11/24 8:40 PM CHRIS HAYES: I want to bring in now NBC News correspondent Mike Memoli, who is at the press conference when President Biden was in the room. Mike, your impression having been there. MIKE MEMOLI: Yeah. Well, Chris, as somebody who has covered President Biden for 16 years, there's so much to unpack from this news conference, I thought. So interesting to hear about the prospects for a convention in which delegates could vote their conscience. He talked about being open, potentially, to a neurological exam if the doctors recommend that. He talked about being willing to pass the baton to Vice President Kamala Harris if his advisors can convince him that he can’t win and that she can. I think for so many people watching this news conference, we can boil this down to two moments. The first was President Biden giving an extensive answer, detailed answer, an answer full of decades of experience on the world stage to the question about the future of China and what it means in our international order. This is somebody who I went to Beijing with in 2011 when he was vice president, had the first meetings of any world leader with Xi Jinping. If you want to know why President Biden wants to see this through, wants to finish the job, it’s because he thinks no one else can match that experience that he has in dealing with the most important foreign policy question of our time. It was a long answer, it was an extensive answer, it really was illustrative of how he is handling this important part of his job as Commander-in-Chief. But for those Democrats who tuned in tonight nervous about his candidacy moving forward, all they are going to remember is within the opening minutes talking about “Vice President Trump”. This speaks to the incredibly high bar, the high stakes that the president and the scrutiny that he’s going to be facing every day going forward in this campaign. If this press conference had happened on June 27th, on June 26th, we would not giving it the level of coverage, we would not be dissecting every answer the way we are now. But so many Democrats are watching this and doing just that. And, the president when he was a candidate for vice president, when he was a senator would make the same kind of verbal flubs that you’ve heard tonight. When I was covering him in the 2008 campaign there was a blog dedicated to those verbal miscues. “Oh, that Joe”. People wrote them off, laughed them off. Now they are seen as existential tests for his continued candidacy, and the question many Democrats are facing is, can this continue for another 120 or so days? See, it isn’t just the “verbal flubs” that are a problem with Biden but the cognitive decline that, until his collapse in the June 27th debate, was written off by the media and the left as “cheap fakes”, or conspiracy theories. The truth is that Biden ALWAYS was a gaffe machine and viewed as a blowhard, even when he was at the top of his game.  Now that the great game to dislodge him is underway, the Regime Media want to make Biden into this master statesman. But this is inconsistent with history. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates famously said that Biden’s been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades”. Within the current administration one need only to look to the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and the ongoing border crisis to prove Gates’ thesis right. This is the gaslight, Joe Biden’s foreign policy mastery, that we are being asked to believe today.   These are the elements of Memoli’s lament. If only we’d stop focusing on the gaffes. But those aren’t just gaffes, they are proof evident of major cognitive decline- which is how we got here in the first place.   

?????????: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced the appointment of Australia’s own Office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism. This role will be occupied by the former Executive council of an Australian jewish community, Jillian Segal. This is in response to the rise in antisemitism since the October 7 attacks. The USA established this similar position in 2021 — and last month passed a bill with an expanded definition of antisemitism, which raised concerns over the freedom of speech. Note: the envoy will also have a combatting Islamophobia sector.

"Just straight to the heart." The post Simplicity with heart: St. Vincent on the songwriter who “took all the good melodies” first appeared on Far Out Magazine.

JULY 7th – JULY 13th 7/8 AC/DC’s ’80 breakthrough album “Back In Black“ is certified for U.S. shipments of 26-million copies by the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA).  7/9 Queens Of The Stone Age cancel the remaining nine concerts of their European tour because frontman Josh Homme needs to return to the U.S. to undergo ’emergency surgery’. 7/9 KISS’s “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” surpasses one-billion streams on Spotify.  The disco-tinged track originally released in ’79 is on the band’s seventh studio effort, “Dynasty.“ It was written by lead guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley (pictured) and ace songwriter Desmond Child, along with songwriter/producer Vini Poncia. 7/9 A three-way lawsuit involving Nirvana’s ‘smiley face’ logo is settled out of court. The band sued fashion designer Marc Jacobs in ’18 for infringing on their copyright for a line of clothing. Then earlier this year Robert Fisher, the former art director from Nirvana’s record label, filed his own lawsuit claiming ownership. A finalized agreement is expected in the next few weeks. 7/10 The Killers are awarded two Guinness World Records titles for “Mr. Brightside.” The song, from the band’s debut “Hot Fuss” (pictured above), spends the longest time on the U.K. singles chart – 416 non-consecutive weeks – than any other song. It also earns the record for the longest stay in the U.K. singles chart by a group – also at 416 weeks. Ironically, the U.K.’s biggest single never reached #1. 7/10 Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer is sued for wrongful death after striking and killing 47-year-old Israel Sanchez, with his GMC SUV, while the victim was walking in a crosswalk on his way to get groceries. The suit, filed in California by the victim’s daughter, alleges that Klinghoffer was distracted by his phone. 7/12 Phish unfurl their 16th studio set and first in over four years, “Evolve.” “I think I’ve historically felt safer playing the guitar than I have walking down the street,” offered Trey Anastasio. “When I’m playing the guitar… that’s been my safe way of emoting over the years.” 7/12 Southern Rock singer/guitarist, Tim Montana, rolls out his sixth full-length set, “Savage,” containing the has the title track, “The Devil You Know” and “Shut Me Out.” Of the latter track, Montana said, “It might sound like a relationship song, but it’s actually about some feelings I had as a teenager. Unwanted feelings, and so I’m glad I got it out.” 7/12 With founding members Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar) and Billy Sheehan (bass), Mr. Big’s tenth studio album contains the track “Good Luck Trying.” 7/13 Pearl Jam’s “Wreckage” is #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated July 13th). It follows “Dark Matter,” title track from the twelfth studio effort, which had a four-week run at the top the previous March. ### The post In The News: AC/DC, KISS, The Killers & Pearl Jam appeared first on RockinTown.
