  Roman Medicine and Science -...

  Roman medicine was a blend of practical knowledge, religious beliefs, and influences from earlier civilizations, particularly the Greeks and Etruscans. While early Roman healing methods were deeply rooted in superstition, the expansion of the empire led to the adoption of more systematic medical practices. Over time, Roman medicine evolved into a structured system that combined natural remedies, surgical techniques, and public health initiatives. 
  Greek influence played a significant role in shaping Roman medical knowledge. Before Rome conquered Greece, healing in the Roman Republic was often associated with household remedies and religious rituals. However, as Greek physicians such as Archagathus and later Galen entered Rome, their advanced knowledge in anatomy, surgery, and pharmacology became widely accepted. Many Roman physicians were either trained by Greek mentors or studied Greek medical texts. Hippocratic principles, which emphasized observation and diagnosis, became foundational in Roman medical education. 
  Despite the growing reliance on scientific methods, religion and superstition remained integral to Roman healing practices. The Romans believed that diseases could be divine punishments or warnings from the gods. Temples dedicated to deities like Aesculapius, the god of medicine, served as healing centers where the sick sought divine intervention. Priests and healers performed rituals and sacrifices to appease the gods and cure ailments. Additionally, charms, amulets, and incantations were commonly used to ward off illness. Even as medical science progressed, many Romans continued to rely on religious customs for healing.

  Mind Refreshed - The Ancient...

  Mental Health, specifically anxiety, is the number one health issue worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This mind-illness is a tragic situation, but what is even more tragic is science, philosophy, and religion don't know what the mind is! How can you expect to alleviate anxiety when you don't understand the foundation? 
  Mind Refreshed broaches the crux of the matter. This book is a practical workbook following Sam Kneller's Mind-Body Problem Solved, where he explains what consciousness and mind are based on theology. Genesis 2:7 says God breathed neshama (the breath of life) into each human. This is consciousness. Job 32:8 reveals there's a second spirit in humans, the ruach. These two spirits work intimately to confer on humans their humanity. 
  Humanity can be summarized by the five traits of consciousness each human possesses: Reasoning, Purpose, Conduct, Socialization, and Rulership. When these traits are in alignment, there is a sense of peacefulness; the opposite leads to anxiety. 
  The key point to remember is that this mental makeup applies to all human beings regardless of race, beliefs, or gender. The solution to anxiety is Biblical, but it applies to all people because everyone possesses consciousness and a mind. Every person is diverse because each of us uses or misuses the above five traits differently. 
  Alleviating anxiety involves identifying the most manageable barriers to hurdle in these five areas of our lives and replacing them with doorways to walk through. The real question is, what are the doorways, and where do we find them? 
  Mind Refreshed reveals this. It is a practical workbook that will help you alleviate your anxiety slowly but surely and replace it with the peace you crave.

  The Jupiter Sun - The Greatest...

  This idea came to me from an earlier work of Science Fiction of mine - The Book To End All Books - by Michael Mathiesen.  In the story, the main character lands her first job out of college in helping in the Jupiter Project - which consists of igniting Jupiter into our second sun.  In doing the research for my story, to make it more realistic, I found that scientists had already used red lasers to create fusion reactions in the lab.  These were obviously small enough so that they didn't burn down the whole state of Nebraska.  They used just a few atoms of Hydrogen to test their theory.  And, it worked producing fusion energy for the first time, but now replicated many hundreds of times around the world. So, this means that by upscaling our nuclear fusion reaction and creating huge amounts of energy, all we have to do is put this same kind of laser cannons on the four largest moons of Jupiter and fire into the center of the mass of Jupiter because it's completely Hydrogen gas, Hydrogen plasma and even Hydrogen so dense it's called 'Metallic'.  This mimics the conditions of our sun over 6 billion years ago when it was also a huge gas ball and only needed a spark to ignite its main ingredient into the gigantic fusion reaction that gives all the energy that all life on planet Earth needs.  A 2nd Sun would solve all our energy problems I reasoned and the impacts would be all positive.In this book, we go over the details of how NASA and hopefully Spacex and Blue Origins can get together and create a mission to create a 2nd sun in the sky.  Imagine how other civilizations all around the universe who are able to look up into the sky around their planets with telescopes and instruments as powerful as ours and they notice a completely new star blazing into the night sky.  They might even be able to conclude that this star had to have been created by an intelligent life form, a life form that may have achieved something no other life form had ever done before.

  Python is one of the several multi-paradigm programming languages a lot of people prefer. It can be used for lots of purposes, interpreted and easy to understand. Python works in an amazing way as it enables its users to be able to create and use diverse programs for both complex and simple designs. This means that Python has some special plug-ins that allow one to create simple coding that could work on other platforms. As a result, with the knowledge of Python, you are sure of being able to handle different languages within the same paradigm. 
  Amazingly, when Python is used to code, it gives a fast result on the goal. Even though Python gives access to different platforms, it gives result to whatever is done instantly. In the same vein, writing of code with Python is made easy as though one is speaking in a human language. 
  Python has this multi-tasking feature that allows its users to be able to attain a single code of programming using different styles. Styles could affect the end result of a code; though it will surely be the same result with slight modifications. 
  Python is easier to learn but the focal point of syntax is readability. Because of this, there is a huge reduction in maintenance risk. Modules and packages are basic things supported by Python; these enable the reuse of codes and the program's modularity. These amazing features of Python have made it one of the leading programs that programmers will always use and recommend to others.

  Planet Earth Is Conscious - And...

  This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet. 
  I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing. 
  Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos. 
  There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades. 
  For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper. 
  That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years? 
  There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth. 
  Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.
