' HONEY ' , I am consuming a lot of honey

Image
  I am consuming a lot of honey , and it is not spiking my blood sugar.    I am acutely aware of a lot of fakery in the honey supply in shops/supermarkets. It is reckoned that as much as 10 times more manuka is sold worldwide than is produced in New Zealand. It is obviously being adulterated and getting a high price for sugar syrup perhaps with some actually manuka honey included . If the jar of manuka honey does not have the UMF licence number on it, put it back on the shelf and don’t buy it Traceability: Each licensed jar displays a unique brand name, a 4-digit licence number (e.g., Licence 1019 for Comvita or Licence 1026 for Manuka Doctor), and a batch number that traces back to specific test results I use Hilltop  brand traceable original blossom honey, purely because my local Tesco stocks it, and it is traceable, it is not junk       

if islamophobia is racism, by the same reasoning, so is homophobia

Asking artificial intelligence! why Islamophobia is classed as racism when Muslims come in all skin colors :-   1. The Process of Racialisation A: Focus on Appearance:•  B: The "effeminate Look": C: Collateral Targets: Because of this visual stereotyping, non-homosexuals (such as effeminate men, transvestites  transexuals, are frequently targeted by anti-gay hate crimes because they fit the perceived "racial profile" of a homosexual   2. Treating Homosexuality  as a lifestyle choice      The reason Islamophobia is widely classified as a form of racism is because of a process sociologists and legal experts call racialisation. This happens when a group's cultural, religious, or linguistic traits are treated as if they are biological, unchangeable characteristics. While Islam is a global faith practiced by people of every skin color, prejudice against Muslims functions like racism in practice because it judges individuals based on visible marker...

how the internet exists , the rail the internet train runs on

 content sourced from A.I. and own research     The core of the internet largely runs on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Key Details of the Internet's Operating System Stack • Linux: The Linux kernel powers the vast majority of web servers, cloud infrastructure, supercomputers, and hosting platforms (such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure) that make up the backbone of the internet. Popular enterprise and server distributions include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, and Debian. • Unix and BSD: Historically and structurally, the internet grew out of UNIX environments. Specialized network hardware, routers, firewalls, and content delivery networks (CDNs like Netflix) often run on BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) or proprietary network operating systems. • Protocol-Based Nature: Rather than a single central computer or operating system, the internet is a decentralized network of diverse machines communicating via standardized protocols (like TCP/IP) maint...

Festive Season Jigsaw Marathon 2026

  M y goal in this marathon was 250 jigsaws in the festive season 2026 ending on New Years eve, 71 days from now ( 22nd October 2026 ).  3 and a half Jig-saws per day .     A ll jigsaws are 144 pieces completed on my Motorola phone. the next degree of difficulty is 225 pieces and i tried one but the pieces are too small for me to see clearly.     F riends have suggested using my tablet but i cannot bring my tablet everywhere , the phone slips in my pocket .     A degree of difficulty self imposed is I select the picture from the library,  and I do not look at the picture again ( except in rare very difficult puzzles )    until the puzzle is completed ,     keeping my 75 year grey matter energized    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     26th October 2026 ( 24 ) ( -226 )        25th October 2026 ( 18 ) ( -232 )          24th October 2026 ( 11 )...

what i learned from AI , HOW WETTING WOOL GENERATES HEAT

  how does lightly dampened wool generate heat When wool absorbs moisture, it generates heat through a natural exothermic chemical process called heat of sorption (or absorption) . Here is exactly how it works: Chemical bonding: Wool fibers are made of a resilient protein called keratin . This protein structure contains millions of hydrophilic (water-loving) chemical sites. Breaking and making bonds: When wool gets lightly dampened, water vapor molecules enter the fiber and collide with these chemical sites. The water molecules form hydrogen bonds with the amino acids in the keratin. Energy release: As these new chemical bonds are created, kinetic energy is released in the form of heat . Because wool can absorb up to 33% of its dry weight in moisture without feeling wet to the touch, this process can generate a surprising amount of warmth. For example, when a dry wool garment absorbs moisture from body sweat or a damp environment, it can release enough heat to feel noticeably ...
