NFT Creator – Cointelegraph Magazine
With a total artwork value of $24 million Trevor Jones is one of the Top 10 most successful crypto artists worldwide.
Trevor Jones’ journey to crypto art stardom started the same way as many crypto noobs: His portfolio went way up, he failed to take profits, and the price came crashing down wiping out the paper gains.
A traditional painter, Jones always wanted to explore the intersection of art and technology, and he experimented with QR code oil paintings in 2012 and dived into AR art in 2013.
But it was his 2017 investment in Bitcoin that sparked deep curiosity in what this new world of crypto and blockchain was about. After getting rekt in 2018’s crypto winter, Jones turned his attention from crypto trader to crypto painter. He says:
“I caught that bull run and made a lot of money and then lost a lot of money in 2018. It all went up and all came crashing down.
“I really fell down the rabbit hole and got completely excited about the space and the people. I was following whoever I could on Twitter, the likes of Vitalik Buterin and John McAfee and characters like that. Very quickly, I started having thoughts that this is something I would like to explore with my art.”
Crypto art was almost non-existent as a genre in 2018 within traditional art circles, so Jones took it upon himself to hire a commercial gallery to stage a crypto-themed exhibition where he showcased some of his first original crypto art at the Crypto Disruption Exhibition.
“The 12 paintings I did were all inspired by the crypto space, and from the new perspective I was coming in from, I didn’t know a lot about it at the time. I focused on some of the characters, such as Satoshi Nakamoto, ideas and themes like the bull and the bear, hodling and riding the wave. It was kind of me figuring out how to visualize this space through these paintings,” he said.
“I sold almost everything from the exhibition to anonymous collectors around the world where they paid me in Bitcoin and Ethereum. It really blew my mind because normally when you go through an art gallery to sell work, you don’t get to meet the collectors for the most part, it’s all done behind closed doors. You’d hopefully receive money two to three months down the line when the gallery pays you out.”
“To get paid immediately was just so eye-opening. A few of the paintings were actually sold before the exhibition even opened. I was just posting some images on Twitter and somebody would reply saying they liked it and how much is it? I’d tell them a number, and they’d just send me some Bitcoin, and the sale was done. It was just the most surreal thing.”
Oil paintings to NFTs
With a path similar to Josie Bellini’s, from crypto artist first to NFT artist second, Jones recalls Coin Fest in April 2019 in Manchester being a pivotal moment. David Moore from Known Origin tried to explain to him why he should be interested in NFTs.
“Coming from the perspective of a traditional artist who had a very successful exhibition of paintings that were selling between $5,000 and $12,000, I was grappling with the fact that NFTs at this time were only selling for about $20 or being gifted,” Jones says.
“It didn’t make sense in my head that I should sell a digital representation of a painting for $30 when the physicals were being sold for five figures.”
But Jones continued to investigate the world of NFTs, tapping into newfound relationships with the likes of Alotta Money, Pascal Boyart and Coldie. He paid particular attention to Matt Kane and Coldie in the back half of 2019 who were starting to make sales in the hundreds or thousands of dollars and “started to think maybe there’s a way that it makes sense to bring my work together with a digital counterpart.”
He says he was initially hesitant out of concern for collectors of his physical art who had paid top dollar. “I felt that it would be disrespectful to then sell that painting for $30, but I was still learning about editions and all the nuances of the space at the time,” he says.
The Canadian artist was an instant success when he finally decided to take the NFT plunge. His very first NFT titled “EthGirl,” a collaboration with NFT art legends Alotta Money, broke the record for the highest sale on SuperRare, selling to ModeratsArt for 72.1 ETH ($10,207 at the time of sale).
How to prepare for the end of the bull run, Part 1: Timing
Zooko’s Triangle: The Human-Readable Paradox at the Heart of Crypto Adoption
“Alotta Money is the most amazing dude. I worked with him on ‘EthGirl,’ which was inspired by the Picasso piece ‘Girl with a Mandolin.’ It was a big oil painting I did, and he animated it. It was still super early days in the NFT art scene, but it caused a huge bidding war between Moderats and Whale Shark and ended up breaking records.”
“Everybody was talking about it because this was really the first time that I think artists, including myself, realized we could actually make a living from selling digital art through NFTs. It was really a pivotal moment I believe in the space. It raised a lot of eyebrows to where we might be headed.” Check it out by clicking the “Play” button in the tweet below.
Coming from a traditional art background but with a love of technology and an appreciation for history, Jones says his style is hard to label, but his aim was to be a “social realist in this space — to capture moments in the crypto space but also in the real world.”
“I don’t really have a unique style, but my work is always connected to the long history and tradition of painting and art history. I studied art history at university for five years. I’m somewhat of an anachronism in this space of crypto; here’s this crazy innovative digital new world and then some old painter dude comes in and starts working away, and people like what I’m doing.”
Open Source or Free for All? The Ethics of Decentralized Blockchain Development
The blockchain projects making renewable energy a reality
“I’ve been interested in technology for a while with my previous work painting QR codes and exploring AR back in 2013, so I think that’s probably one of the reasons why the collectors in NFTs accepted me with open arms because there’s a history of my curiosity in technology and innovation.”
Notable sales to date
Jones, who has lived in Scotland since 1999, has put his own spin on what an NFT IRL event should look like with his Bitcoin Angels Castle Party. The event brings artists and collectors together for a two-night celebration.
“With Bitcoin Angel, my life changed entirely in seven minutes, and having spoken with a few bigger collectors on Twitter, one suggested I throw a castle party. At first, I thought it was a stupid idea, but after sleeping on it for a day or two, I came to realize it was a great idea.”
“I have an opportunity through this castle party to thank all the people who bought one of my artworks. That’s really how it started off, to invite all the owners of Bitcoin Angels and a way of giving back to my community, and it’s grown from there.”
The 2023 castle party will be held in France from September 3 to 5, with holders of Jones’ artworks receiving discounted tickets. More information here.
The Oath Coronation NFT
To celebrate the coronation of the new King, Jones recently teamed up with the Evening Standard newspaper and Apollo Entertainment to release an open-edition NFT titled “The Oath” to own a piece of history.
It was a free mint dropped on Nifty Gateway, with 20,200 being minted, which set a record for an open-edition mint on the platform.
“I thought it was a cool opportunity to capture a moment in history and get people excited about digital art and what NFTs are. The Evening Standard is one of the biggest U.K. publications, and this was a chance to create something with them to get disseminated out into the real world,” said Jones.
Which hot NFT artists should we be paying attention to?
Jones cites four artists who were part of the #ArtAngelsNFT series he created to shine a spotlight on emerging artists.
Saint MG (@SaintMG1) — Artist and architect from Colombia. Lost Angel in the digital renaissance.
Nurart (@NurArt_) — Visual artist from Cuba. Weaver of symbols.
Richard Masa (@RichardMasaArt) — Abstract-surrealist from Paris.
Maria Fynsk Norup (@mariafynsknorup) — Conceptual self-portrait artist from Denmark. Emotional storytelling.
“Art Angels could be considered somewhat of a Shark Tank show meets the dating game. It’s where we’d connect artists and collectors. It’s been life-changing for some of the artists involved. Saint MG made a 1-of-1 sale on SuperRare and some other sales and sold about $9,000, which is a lot in his hometown of Colombia.”
“Nurart from Cuba has also made life-changing money from some sales and is such a great artist. Richard Masa is absolutely phenomenal, just an amazing artist, be sure to check him out. Maria as a photographer is really special — her work just takes you to places.”

Middle-school drop-out Quentin Tarantino brings us his newest film, a Western-inspired adventure through the South complete with his trademark dialog, excessive violence, and bizarre sense of humor. The movie begins with the date, 1858, and a statement, “Two years before the Civil War.” That would be true if the Civil War began in 1860. But it began in 1861. Maybe if Tarantino hadn’t dropped out of Middle-school, he would realize that 61 – 58 does not equal 2.
Django Unchained tells the story of Django, a slave who becomes a free man. The majority of the film is his quest to free his wife Broomhilda from slavery, as well. In doing so, he teams up with a bounty hunter and goes under-cover, so to speak, in order to accomplish his goals. At its heart, this movie is a revenge tale, an outlet of anger against slavery at the hands of white oppressors.

Last month Fox released a new synopsis for Gotham, which confirmed that both Mr. Freeze and The Joker are set to feature in the second season of the Batman prequel series (with Mr. Freeze subsequently featuring on the ‘Villains Wall’ at San Diego Comic-Con). Now we have word on more DC characters who could make their debut in season two, with creator and showrunner Bruno Heller offering up a few details during an interview with Comic Book.
“We thought long and hard about [new villains],” said Heller. “There’s so many characters that don’t have an origin story, so it’s not just a question of going back to an origin story, but its who fits in this realistic world? They have to have both feet on the ground. So they have to fit in stylistically. But we found the Mr. Freeze story be quite emotional. That’s one we’re going to look at. Hugo Strange is another interesting character we’re going to look at, as is the Calendar Man. And Azrael is another character that we’re starting at very early stage for. And Tigress as well.”
As we know, Tigress has already been cast, with Jessica Lucas set to play the character. There was early talk that Hugo Strange would make an appearance in the first season, although obviously that didn’t materialise, but this is the first time we’ve heard Calendar man and Azrael brought up as possibilities.
Which characters would you like to see debuting in Gotham?

Vol. 14 No 2 (April
The alternative health industry, by comparison, is worth just $59bn.
The biggest, multibillion-dollar companies are,
The bulk of their profits come from prescription drugs.
Big Pharma kills people in two ways:
It often is cheaper for Big Pharma to break the law and pay fines than follow regulations that hinder profits.
Every year at least one major drug company is fined for one or more of the following:
Since 2000 in the US alone,
Profits are boosted by what Elaine Hollingsworth calls,
Despite living longer, obesity, depression, dementia, increased cancer and other morbidities, mean that Westerners are now less healthy than just a few generations ago.
Big Pharma pathologises minor ailments and makes people dependent on drugs instead of encouraging the use of natural alternatives.
The crisis of the industry's influence over the medical profession, from reporting trial results to influencing doctors, prompted the British Medical Journal (BMJ) to launch a,
Dr Larry Dossey writes that in the 1900s, medical companies sought,
This was the beginning of
what the science writer Julie Deardoff calls "fictionosis."
Data was supposedly supplied by one Dr Leth Argos; a pun on lethargy.
Their fake research was
published in the BMJ.
In the 1960s, Dr Keith Connors was paid by the drug company CIBA to trial Ritalin.
Connors set a precedent for trialing Big Pharma-sponsored drug studies on children via university-affiliated clinics. Connors watched this model get out of control to the point where he called misdiagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) "a national disaster."
Journalist Alan Schwarz revealed that although only 5 per cent of US children actually have ADHD, 15 per cent are diagnosed with it.
This is largely due to Big Pharma pushing its products on doctors and families. Thirty per cent of all boys in the American South (i.e., the poor states) are misdiagnosed.
Schwarz claims that Big Pharma paid "all the top researchers" to publish studies claiming that ADHD drugs are safe.
Big Pharma then took the false data from their subsidized studies and constructed advertisements targeted at worried parents. The advert for Adderall XR, for instance, claimed that the drug boosts the child's grades to match their intelligence.
Schwarz says that,
Yet, many remain on the
Ghostwriting becomes apparent thanks only to whistleblowers and court orders. Researchers Healy and Cattell discovered 85 academic papers written by drug companies with the author's name still to be determined.
Fifty-five were written by Pfizer, and 30 were either funded by Pfizer or based on Pfizer's data. Just two articles declared a conflict of interest, and every single one reported positive results.
In 1999, Merck introduced the painkiller Vioxx.
By 2004 it was withdrawn
after being linked to cardiovascular disorders. Merck had previously
hired ghostwriters despite having internal knowledge that the drug
may increase the risk of thrombus formations.
Elsevier's Australia office published six such journals between 2000-05:
Compare this to,
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that by 2012, 80 per cent of the world's population was using alternative health therapies, including people in so-called developed countries.
Around that time, 400
high-profile Australian doctors and scientists formed Friends of
Science in Medicine, a lobby to remove alternative health degree
courses from universities.
Ex-salesman and former leader of the Nordic Cochrane Centre, Dr. Peter C. Gøtzsche, writes:
He quotes The Lancet as saying that medical journals,
By 2010, 85 per cent of drug company-funded trials of new medicines yielded positive results for the top five products (e.g., antidepressants), compared to just half for government-funded studies.
In Australia in 2017, Lisa Bero of Sydney University's Charles Perkins Centre found that drug industry-sponsored trials of medicines and equipment were 30 per cent more likely to report favorable results.
Lobbying means that drug prices in Australia are double those of the UK and three times the cost of medicines in New Zealand.
By 2017, Australians were
paying $500m above the average for seven common drugs.
In 2015, US Congressman Tom Price bought stock in Innate Immunotherapeutics.
A year later, he purchased stock in,
Price then went to Australia as part of a Congressional visit where he lobbied the government to drop its protectionist measures in the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership deal.
Innate Immunotherapeutics, which has a Sydney office, offered Price a discount on additional stock, making him a $150,000 profit.
Price went on to become
Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary.
Additional blurring occurs in the promotion of drugs, including Viagra and Prozac, as lifestyle drugs in which the judgmental competence of the consumer is weighed against that of the qualified physician.
As part of their marketing strategy, Australian drug companies engage in so-called asset exchanges with community organisers, patients, and GPs.
They anonymously pay speakers to promote the wonders of drugs at conferences, take GPs out to dinner, infiltrate online patient chatrooms, and so on.
In the absence of scientific evidence, the producers of HRT drugs spent billions of dollars on PR groups like HRT Aware and RED Consultancy, promoting HRT as a "cure" for,
HRT Aware featured women claiming to have improved their careers, overall health, sex lives, and general wellbeing - all thanks to HRT.
HRT Aware turned out to be an industry group comprised of oestrogen producers, including,
After the truth emerged
in 2002 - that HRT drugs increase the risk of heart disease and
double the risk of breast cancer - the drug-maker Novo Nordisk
hired the German PR firm Haas & Health Partner to write
letters to GPs downplaying the deadly results.
Around 170,000 Americans die annually in accidents:
Included in that statistic is 70,000 deaths by drug overdose, meaning that drug overdose is the leading cause of death-by-accident in the US.
Producers including Purdue Pharma - which "aggressively" marketed OxyContin (spending $200m in 2001 alone) - deliberately targeted doctors serving ethnic minority patients known to be at risk of addiction in de-industrialized areas like Kentucky and Ohio where disaffected communities succumb to "deaths of despair."
One of the big opioid dealers, Mallinckrodt (tax-haven in Ireland), went bust after paying $1.6bn in settlements over its opioid scandal.
Between 2006 and 2012, Mallinckdroft flooded the US with 76 billion hydrocodone and oxycodone pills.
Ohio-based distributor Steve Cochrane joked:
Accounts manager Victor Borelli responded:
Each year, one in four adults in England alone (12 million people) are prescribed addictive drugs including antidepressants and opioids.
At least one million people in England are potentially hooked on painkillers as are 1.4 million Australians.
Each year, around 1,000 Australians die of opioid overdose:
In 2018, 4.3 million Australians took 39 million prescribed drugs for mental health issues.
Indicative of the ease with which physicians diagnose and prescribe, 86.3 per cent of prescriptions came from GPs compared to just over 12 per cent from mental health specialists.
The overwhelming majority of prescriptions were antidepressants (over 70 per cent), compared to just 10 per cent for antipsychotics and 5.6 per cent for sedatives and hypnotics.
Countries from South Africa to Thailand are saying 'no' to international treaties that allow giants to monopolize patents and charge unaffordable prices.
Big Pharma recognizes the public appetite for natural products, hence its effort to corner the market.
Accountability journalists like those at ProPublica expose GPs' conflicts of interest via the "Dollars for Docs" project, such as the 2,500 physicians who received over $500,000 each between 2014 and 2018 from drug and medical device companies (700 of whom received $1m).
The money came in the form of consultancy and lecture fees.
The Alliance for Natural Health International documents efforts by the so-called Good Thinking Society, Quackwatch, and others, to delete the Wikipedia profiles of natural and alternative health advocates and/or insert potentially libelous material into their bios.
Victims include doctors,
Growing numbers of people are eating more healthily and looking for non-allopathic treatments...
The Hartman Group notes that,
The year 2019 saw the biggest growth in herbal dietary supplements in the US in over two decades, totaling $8.8bn.
Although most GPs are good people who do great work, it is important to also see them as potential proxies for a huge, unethical industry, and learn to distinguish the necessary drugs from the unnecessary ones.

Getting to Zero: A Doctor and a Diplomat on the Ebola Frontline (英語) ハードカバー – 2018/8/3
Kindle 端末は必要ありません。無料 Kindle アプリのいずれかをダウンロードすると、スマートフォン、タブレットPCで Kindle 本をお読みいただけます。
Only a few miles down the road, the Irish Ambassador and head of Irish Aid realized they were facing a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale. Knowing that aid would only come with international attention, she worked relentlessly to push the country’s plight into the global spotlight. At a time when entire districts had been quarantined, she travelled around the country to meet with UN agencies as well as Sierra Leone’s president and senior ministers, hoping to secure help in time to stop the spread of the horrifying disease.
In this blow-by-blow account, Walsh and Johnson relate what it was like to work on the frontlines of an epidemic. They expose the often-shocking shortcomings of the humanitarian response to the scourge, both locally and internationally. They also profile the immense courage of those who put their lives on the line every day to contain the disease. Both harrowing and hopeful, their story is the definitive account of the fight against an epidemic that shook the world.
"A detailed, up-close-and-personal perspective on the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone, important for all who want to understand what it is to confront a terrible health threat."--Tom Frieden, president and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
"This powerful book asks important questions about aid and development and offers insights that everyone working in global health should absorb - as well as being a personal and very moving account of an epidemic that killed thousands."--Lord Nigel Crisp, co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Global Health
"A brave, bold, yet humble account from the front lines of the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. This is vital reading to help us all do better next time."--David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee
"Courage in extreme clinical danger, courage to challenge obstructive bureaucracy, courage to make tough decisions, and the courage to endure. This is the courage that Sinead Walsh and Oliver Johnson displayed in Sierra Leone. Their compelling book is essential reading for all who care about global health."--Eldryd Parry, founder of the Tropical Health and Education Trust
"An extraordinary account from the thick of the battle against Ebola. This is history's first draft, and a powerful example of persistent and pragmatic leadership. Mandatory reading for anyone concerned with global health in the broadest sense."--Paul Farmer, Harvard Medical School, and cofounder of Partners in Health
"Walsh and Johnson represent the best of international intervention. This book reveals the complexities and level of cooperation that made 'getting to zero' possible. Offers excellent insight into those trying times."--O. B. Sisay, director of the Situation Room at the National Ebola Response Centre, Sierra Leone
"Takes us behind the scenes to the harrowing frontlines of the Ebola epidemic--highlighting a set of lessons that an inter-connected world would ignore at our peril. A compelling read."--Samantha Power, former US Ambassador to the UN
"Johnson and Walsh provide a frank, beautifully written, and essential guide to the lessons learned from the heart of the Ebola outbreak. Their first-hand experiences in battling this terrible disease will take your breath away. A must read."--Tulip Mazumdar, Global Health Correspondent for BBC News
"A captivating and brutally honest account of the Ebola epidemic from two brave, committed individuals who unexpectedly found themselves at its epicenter. The authors pull no punches, and leave us asking: Will these lessons be learned, or will the world once again forget and move on?"--Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust
"In Getting to Zero, the duo show how a litany of mistakes made in distant offices in New York, Washington, London and Geneva, combined with poor leadership in Sierra Leone and a weak health service, created a catastrophe that could have been prevented."--Guardian
Equal parts frustrating and enlightening even if frustrating in an enlightening way. Rich details and stories fron heroes from Sierra Leone and away that need to be remembered.
I was in Sierra Leone at the tail end of the Ebola crisis and so much of this resonated with me as I stayed over the next few years. Wish I'd been able to read this before I got there.
Practical recommendations on navigating the coordination of a crisis, various dimensions of ngo, donor, government, and multilateral politics, and some high level ideas that are easy and necessary to replicate when designing programs that need intensive community engagement. Highly recommended!

What makes the blood look red?
Human blood is red because of the protein hemoglobin, which contains a red-colored compound called heme that’s crucial for carrying oxygen through your bloodstream. That’s why blood turns bright cherry red when oxygen binds to its iron.
Is Dark Blood a bad sign?
You may be alarmed to see black blood, but it isn’t necessarily a reason to worry. This color is related to brown blood, which is old blood. It may resemble coffee grounds. Black blood is usually blood that’s taking some extra time to leave the uterus.
What are the 4 main functions of blood?
Blood has many different functions, including:
- transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues.
- forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss.
- carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection.
- bringing waste products to the kidneys and liver, which filter and clean the blood.
- regulating body temperature.
Who has green blood?
Green blood is one of the most unusual characteristics in the animal kingdom, but it’s the hallmark of a group of lizards in New Guinea. Prasinohaema are green-blooded skinks, or a type of lizard.
How do you explain blood to a child?
What Is Blood and What Does It Do? Blood is needed to keep us alive. It brings oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the body so they can keep working. Blood carries carbon dioxide and other waste materials to the lungs, kidneys, and digestive system to be removed from the body.
What illness turns skin green?
Hypochromic anemia was historically known as chlorosis or green sickness for the distinct skin tinge sometimes present in patients, in addition to more general symptoms such as a lack of energy, shortness of breath, dyspepsia, headaches, a capricious or scanty appetite and amenorrhea.
Is our blood actually blue?
Your blood is actually red. The blue hue of your veins has more to do with how your eyes absorb and see color than the color of the blood itself. The level of oxygen in your blood cells determines the brightness of the red color. Blood pumped directly from the heart is oxygen rich and bright red.
Is dark red blood healthy?
Bright red: Dr Siddhartha explains that bright red and dark red blood are both signs of a healthy period. When the blood is bright red, it means, it is fresher.
Is human blood green?
Yes, human blood is green in the deep ocean. We have to be careful about what we mean by color. Objects don’t really have an intrinsic color.
Can human skin turn green?
Skin color changes can include red, yellow, purple, blue, brown (bronze or tan), white, green, and black coloring or tint to the skin. Skin can also become lighter or darker than normal.
Why is my skin turning black?
The change in color happens when there is overproduction of melanin, the pigment normally found in the skin, forming deposits that darken the skin color. Darkened skin can develop in people of all races. Melasma is increased skin pigmentation that usually occurs on sun-exposed surfaces of darkly complected individuals.
What does it mean when your blood is dark and thick?
Thick blood or hypercoagulability is a condition where the blood is thicker and stickier than usual. When a person has hypercoagulability, they are prone to excess blood clots. The condition is the result of an abnormality in the clotting process.
Why is my skin turning GREY?
What is gray skin? Pallor, or pale skin, and grayish or blue skin are a result of a lack of oxygenated blood. Your blood carries oxygen around your body, and when this is disrupted, you see a discoloration. The disruption may be to the flow of blood itself, which produces paleness or a gray tint to skin tone.
What color is the blood in your body?
Why is my blood very dark?
It owes its color to hemoglobin, to which oxygen binds. Deoxygenated blood is darker due to the difference in shape of the red blood cell when oxygen binds to haemoglobin in the blood cell (oxygenated) versus does not bind to it (deoxygenated). Human blood is never blue.
How do I make myself more attractive to guys?
Beauty and the geek: Scientifically proven ways to become more attractive to men
- Put on a red dress.
- No dress?
- Flash him your smile.
- Reward a guy with laughter.
- Subtly mimic him.
- Hit the high notes.
- Hips don’t lie.
- Keep the waterworks to a minimum.
What is pale skin tone?
Paleness, also known as pale complexion or pallor, is an unusual lightness of skin color compared with your normal complexion. Paleness may be caused by reduced blood flow and oxygen or by a decreased number of red blood cells. It can occur all over your skin or appear more localized.
What does blood look like?
Blood in the human body is red regardless of how oxygen-rich it is, but the shade of red may vary. The level or amount of oxygen in the blood determines the hue of red. As blood leaves the heart and is oxygen-rich, it is bright red. When the blood returns to the heart, it has less oxygen.
What does deoxygenated blood look like?
In many TV shows, diagrams and models, deoxygenated blood is blue. Even looking at your own body, veins appear blue through your skin. Some sources argue that blood from a cut or scrape starts out blue and turns red upon contact with oxygen. Other sources say that blood is always red.
Why does my skin look dead?
When dead skin cells build up on the outer layers of your skin, it can cause your skin to look dull, dry, and flakey, and can even clog your pores. Regular exfoliation can prevent this from happening.
What if Period blood turns green?
It is normal to see a greenish tint in the menstrual discharge on the pad; it just means that’s older, drier blood. If your period is light and you change your pads less often, you are more likely to see this darker colored blood.
What is blood in simple words?
Blood, fluid that transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells and carries away carbon dioxide and other waste products. Technically, blood is a transport liquid pumped by the heart (or an equivalent structure) to all parts of the body, after which it is returned to the heart to repeat the process.
Is Green Blood bad?
For example, when our blood cells naturally die or get crushed, they produce bilirubin (yellow in color) and biliverdin (green) as they decompose. These are those lovely yellow and green marks around a bad bruise. Your liver cleans that out of your system as quickly as possible, because of its toxicity.

The Turn On The Jets 12 pack with predictions and thoughts on the Super Bowl and the New York Jets
What did we learn from Geno Smith’s rookie season with the New York Jets?
We continue breaking down 2014 NFL Draft prospects at Turn On The Jets, sticking with the free safety group. Next up is Stanford’s Ed Reynolds, a two year starter for “Nerd Nation.” Reynolds has begun to stir up the debate of who the best available safety in the 2014 draft class is. Let’s break down …
As the 2014 NFL Draft talk begins to heat up, it is time to take a look at various prospects that could be on the New York Jets radar. While the Jets saw excellent improvement from young safety Antonio Allen this past season, adding a ball hawk in the draft would help the back end …
With approximately $30-40 million in cap space, the New York Jets are pegged to be players when the new league year begins on March 3rd, 2014. Today, we look at free agent Tight Ends. Check out our look at wide receivers from last week here.
TJ Rosenthal goes No Huddle on the NFL and New York Jets heading into the Super Bowl
TJ Rosenthal on the future of New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez
The Senior Bowl took place on Saturday with the South defeating the North 20-10. The South had the better quarterbacks and were able to move the ball more efficiently. More important than who won the game is that these draft prospects put more tape together in game situations against some of the best competition college …
Mike Nolan lists some of the players to keep an eye on in the Senior Bowl that the New York Jets could target on draft day.
This New York Jets Specific NFL Draft Rankings will enumerate and narrow down prospects who fit the Jets needs and scheme. The series will cover: receiver, tight end, guard, safeties, and cornerback. Some highly regarded prospects may be dropped down the list or left off altogether because of their poor fit with the team.

Switching things up for Industry Takeover 2023, Open Mic, hosted by UD’s very own Nayana, was powered by Complex UK, who will soon be supporting some of their favourite artists on the come-up editorially. Tumi, Saint CJ, Hillarynx, Zuko Rosemeid, Valerie Njenga, Allyson, YESHA, David GotSound, Chrissy Day, Mar!k, J2, D Wills, Ashley Tragic, BsMnT J, MALAIKA, Humble Shaun, ESTHER DURIN and many more took to the Talent House stage. Maria Hanlon reports…
First up, tumi performed a stunning and thought-provoking spoken word piece to kick things off. Callum Jaye followed, performing a brilliant track surrounding Asperger’s Syndrome and men’s mental health. He went on to tell us that he was also putting on an event to raise awareness for knife crime too, so his whole performance was definitely impactful. Next up was Hillarynx who performed her unreleased track ‘Belly Full’ which quickly got the audience singing back & dancing. The whole crowd was loving it!
The next artist to perform was Zuko Rosemeid who had great stage presence and had the audience engaged throughout his entire performance. Valerie Njenga was up next and her beautiful vocals filled the room and gave us those trusty goosebumps. Allyson was the next artist to perform and her riffs and runs had the audience absolutely mesmerised.
YESHA stepped on stage next to rap a freestyle that the crowd were all vibing with. Then, returning to Open Mic was Mar!k who performed two tracks. First a Bob Marley cover which everyone went wild for and then, for his second song, he asked the audience for random words which he used to create a freestyle – very impressive.
Another artist who’s been to UD’s previous Open Mics and is a current Incubator participant was David GotSound who shared two of his original tracks, both of which went down an absolute treat.
As we entered the second half of the evening it was BsMnT J’s turn. His bars were quick and witty and loved by the crowd. Ashley Tragic is another familiar face at UD’s Open Mic, he performed two tracks. His quick flows gave him a stand out sound allowing him to have the audience in the palm of his hand. For the second track he rapped over the backing beat of Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ which was amazing. After Ashely Tragic was Humble Shaun, who performed one track with other musicians and one track alone. They were both brilliant, with very powerful and hard hitting lyrics.
MALAIKA and Chrys Enow performed their track ‘Daydreaming’ together. Chrys had produced the track while MALAIKA wrote it. The chorus was super catchy and everyone was singing along. It was Chrissy Day’s turn next; Chrissy has been to the Open Mic before and is also part of UD’s Incubator Programme (along with David GotSound and Mar!k who performed earlier). Chrissy shared two stunning songs, and had an almighty applause from everyone in the room. There was even a reload for her much anticipate summer drop, ‘Outside’.
The evening was coming to an end but there was still time for a few more artists to perform. ESTHER DURIN was ready to go next. She performed two songs, the first song she dedicated to God and her vocal ability demonstrated in both songs blew everyone away.
Zoka The Author picked up the pace with his energy, stage presence and pure talent. He moved around the stage getting everyone feeling lively.
D Wills also kept the energy high with his electric performance which got the crowd involved. Last up was J2 who performed a song about not being OK and being honest with your feelings which was really moving. His strong vocal and down to earth stage presence kept the audience’s attention, ending the night on a high.
Although the evening was almost over, there was still time for a jam. Nayana, who had been the fabulous host for the evening, started off the jam and encouraged others to get involved. Both previous performers and new faces took to the stage to sing a combination of covers, freestyles and original material bringing the evening to a close perfectly. The energy in the room was beautiful, full of talent, inspiration and new connections.

Anthroposophic Naturopathy is a scientific, holistic and human-centered approach to medicine.
The Society for Physicians of Anthroposophic Naturopathy was founded in 2012.
Anthroposophic Naturopathy is part of a much broader movement of anthroposophic physicians in outpatient and inpatient settings in at least 60 countries, along with other allied health providers such as nurses, physician’s assistants, movement therapists and art and music therapists. SPAN participates in and contributes to the training of this extension of medicine to qualified naturopathic physicians.
How can a patient expect to benefit from seeing an Anthroposophic Naturopathic Doctor?
Anthroposophic naturopathy recognizes and uses the vast information acquired by modern medicine in the fields of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and diagnosis. It embraces an integrative approach in patient care, with an emphasis upon wellness/prevention, nutrition, homeopathy, botanical medicine, hands –on therapies, hydrotherapy, mind-body therapies, and the belief in the self-healing capacity of the human being. But then it goes further still, adding knowledge of the laws of the living organism, of the psyche, and the spirit. This knowledge is derived from a spiritual scientific methodology which expands on the conventional scientific method. It requires—besides an ongoing professional, personal, and moral development—an active inner life, as outlined by Rudolf Steiner in the early 1900’s. Such inner activity on the part of the doctor leads to a deepened capacity for apprehending the whole human being in health and illness.In addition to the typical thorough, whole-person centred approach that is the foundation of Naturopathic Medicine, patients can therefore expect another level of understanding and therapeutics to be applied to their individual health and life circumstances. An Anthroposophic Naturopathic Doctor may serve as the primary care to patients at all stages of life.
How can I find an anthroposophic naturopath?
Click through to the directory to see if there is an Anthroposophic Naturopathic Doctor near you. Alternatively, visit the SPAN directory.
How do I train to become an Anthroposophic Naturopath?
Anthroposophic naturopathy is practiced in North America by board licensed naturopathic physicians in the United States and Canada. A student or graduated ND from the accredited schools in North America may participate in the International Post-Graduate Medical Training organized by PAAM. Membership in SPAN connects you to other interested NDs in North America. Students, interested NDs and trained NDs may join by visiting www.span-med.com.

CHURUBUSCO – Churubusco’s softball team won its first NECC tournament championship in school history as the Lady Eagles beat Fremont in a close, 4-3, game in late April.
The Lady Eagles won the tournament after starting the season 0-3 in conference play.
“We were out of the conference race,” said head coach Phil Nicolette. “There was nothing else to play for at that point other than to get better and play in this tournament. Our mind frame was that no one expects us to do well, so let’s give this a shot. We were relaxed and playing with no pressure, and it worked well.”
Churubusco trailed early as Fremont went up 2-0 after the first inning. Churubusco tied the game in the second inning scoring two runs. Maddison Simmons hit a two-run homer to tie the game.
Abi Erwin hit another two-run home run in the third inning to make the score 4-2.
The fourth inning went scoreless. Then Fremont hit a single score home run in the fifth inning. No other runs were scored in the game thanks to a strong effort by the Lady Eagle defense.
Carlee Koldyke got the win on the mound as she threw 61 pitches in seven innings, allowing five hits, three runs and recording a strikeout.

(These Christ references confuse me as the person has known me my entire life and should know that I have never been Christian.) Anywho, back to the Jesus stuff. This dude was really upset at me for not being a Christian so we decided to leave it there. And then he made a bunch of comments about Islam being of the devil and wanting to kill as many of the "worthless fucks" as he could. Etcetera.
I have brought you stories about Christian extremism before. Racism, sexism, and even murder in the name of God are not new concepts; with the promulgation of Christianity in Africa has come acts of hatred in the name of God. Western media has focused on Uganda's Kill The Gays bill, which originated with a white preacher in Massachusetts, but the fact remains that in every African nation that is predominantly Christian, evangelicals have used disgusting imagery to institute laws mandating incarceration of gays. And this is just the beginning.
Evangelicals have done a fantastic job at spreading their most divisive and literal Biblical ridiculousness across a fair chunk of Africa. Don't think for a second that you really thought all those Ethiopian kids were going to get your food and medicine donations without giving something up. What they gave up were their religions. When Jews were airlifted out of there (yes bigots, there are black African Jews) they told tales of religious conversions for food. And we have Pat Robertson, who made billions off of preaching that good old Christians should give, using donations to make more money off of using slave labour at his African diamond mines and lend financial support to terrorists.
But even if forced religious conversions, bullying, enslavement, support of Islamofascists, promoting executions of gays, and embezzling billions of dollars in aid weren't bad enough, there is this.
What you are about to see is real. It is happening all over the nation my doctor hails from (Nigeria) and other African countries. This is a nation that is wired in and even agricultural towns are peppered with cafes linking folks to the outside world. You'd think they'd know better, but they are afraid of the preachers because the Bible calls for the death of anyone who questions what is going on. These people are the victims of Evangelical Christians, and many are children.
Doing this to people in the name of a god is evil regardless of the name you call that god.
|Deut 17:12 - Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the Lord your God shall be put to death.|

California: World number one Serena Williams will aim to fulfill her long-standing quest of equaling Steffi Graf’s record of 22 Grand Slam titles when she will take on reigning Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber in the Wimbledon women’s singles final here today.
It will be a perfect opportunity for defending champion Serena to take revenge of her Australian Open loss by beating Kerber in her ninth Wimbledon final.
Earlier, Kerber defeated Serena’s elder sister Venus Williams in straight sets to once again set up a summit showdown clash against the top-ranked player.
Meanwhile, Kerber will seek to claim another upset win over Serena to become the first German woman to clinch Wimbledon since Graf in 1996. (ANI)

Excellent location.Posted Aug 19, 2014
Pros: Location. Cleanliness. Staff friendly - we arrived early and were allowed to check in as soon as our room was ready
Hotel has a nice atmosphere. Very close to tube stations, Tower of London. Passed on breakfast, very pricey but then, this is London. Would definitely stay again.

Conveniently situated for business in the CityPosted Aug 16, 2014
Pros: The situation and the "Olde English" atmosphere with the pub downstairs
Location: Tower Bridge and the Tower of London just a few minutes walk away
I have stayed here many times in the past on business. Expensive but so are all the hôtels in the City. The "Olde English" room décor is aging a bit but overall a nice place to stay

WAKING UP TO RENOVATIONSPosted Aug 12, 2014
Location: A variety of restaurants, walking distance to main attractions and tube stations
We choose this hotel as we thought that the financial district would be quiet on the weekend. Woke up early to the sound of renos in the suite above us. The thumping was so loud the TV was impossible to hear. When we mentioned the noise to the desk clerk, she thought we meant street noise.

a very pleasant surprisePosted Jul 16, 2014
Pros: The ambiance ;the very spacious immaculate bedroom;the best breakfast ever; the waitress service.
Cons: Cant think of anything
Location: Went to the Museum of London and the Guildhall gallery . Postmans park and several churches Wandered around historic streets.Great pub down the rd.
we have stayed in many more central hotels In London over 50 years but decided on a change of location. We loved the hotel from the minute we entered.It was like country house hotels in places such as Bath or Hereford rather than the the large London hotels St Giles or the Strand Palace where we usually stay.It was peaceful and relaxing and unhurried-and so reasonable.Every need was supplied- iron, hair dryer a range of drinks and biscuits for example-all you would have for guests in your own home.

Great Hotel close to the Tower of LondonPosted May 27, 2014
Pros: I liked the location and room rate with breakfast included. Free Wifi in room.
Cons: The Business Center Computer could be faster.
Location: Great Location near Tower Hill, Tower of London, St. Katherine's Docks, Tower Bridge, and Tower Hill & Aldgate Circle Line Stations
I've had the pleasure of staying at this hotel twice. It's a short walk to the Tower of London and both underground stations for the Circle Line. I found the rate to be very reasonable for the level of facilities and service. Make sure your breakfast is included in the room rate as it is very good and for a party of two will save you some money. With the breakfast rate, they offer more than just a continental breakfast, it's a full English Breakfast. The staff was very helpful in selecting area restaurants (St Katherine's Docks are very close with a good selection of restaurants to choose from.) Bodeans's Smoke House is a short walk and the food is excellent.

Good location close to underground stationsPosted May 13, 2014
Pros: Location very good, staff very helpful. Breakfasts are great. Lovely room size, well equipped.
Location: Close to 2 tube stations. Easy access to Spittlefields/Shoreditch/Brick Lane markets. Close to T of L, Tower Bridge and river.
This hotel was easy to get to from Euston. Very well situated close to two stations thus giving easy access to all parts of London. The hotel is small and cosy, rooms really comfortable and well stocked with tea/coffee facilities. Lovely sized rooms and very quiet. Nice having an empty fridge available to put own purchases in. There are plenty of places to eat, particularly the Italian restaurant on Commercial Road and Poppins - superb fish and chips. Good food at the pub attached to hotel. We bought discount tickets to see Jersey Boys - definitely recommend it. Also went on Emirates Flight across the river - excellent views of London and reasonably priced.

Short stay with friends.Posted May 5, 2014
Stayed at the chamberlain hotel as a group of 6. Check in was smooth and the hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful. Before the stay, I stated that it was my girlfriends 18th birthday and on the bed in our room was a card from the hotel which was a nice touch. Soon after we arrived we noticed a stain in my girlfriends dress so we alerted reception and they sorted out dry cleaning to be sorted for the next day which was a life saver! We had one of the updated rooms which was really nice and modern. We payed for the breakfast to be included in our package and were not disappointed. A wide range of options from fruit to the traditional cooked breakfast which were presented with a touch of class. The hotel offered out of hours room service which was a life saver after coming back from a late night out. Reception were very helpful in answering any questions we had about travel and general London queries and the location was quite away from the hustle and bustle of London even though it was a short walk away from Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were not disappointed as the chamberlain hotel helped make our London break one to remember.
