Interpretation of dali48 in 2010
Cruel treatment of animals brutalizes people while caring management leads to charity (see e.g. I.B. Singer and Treblinka, and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), see e.g. Chick Shredding etc. - see William Golding and "Man (see uncontrolled capitalism etc.) produces evil - as Bees produce honey" etc. (dali48)! ... (Klöckner / Tworuschka)
The reorientation of Christian ethics goes today (1995 etc. - d.48) to a religiously motivated vegetarianism! - Violently criticized are factory farming, animal testing, extinction of endangered species, poor treatment of pets etc ("Glauberg admission of guilt" in 1988, the silence of the churches, etc. - d.48)! ...
Francis of Assisi (1182- 1226) was much more ethical than we are - about 800 years ago - when dealing with animals etc... (dali48)
Humans and animals consumed only vegetables before the Flood. Only then meat was allowed to the people (Gen. 29 and 9) ...
The hunt is viewed negatively in general! ...
The ecological crisis reveals the spiritual crisis of modern man, lacking any true cosmology and he no longer knows the unity of all beings ... (S. H. Nasr, 1968)
The Limits to Growth (Club of Rome in 1972 etc. - d.48) ... see dali48 and What did the Club of Rome predict? - It predicted that humanity's ecological footprint would come to a halt in the first half of the 21st century - either through catastrophic "surge and collapse" or through a well-managed "peak and bust"! ... What are the limits to economic growth? - The World3 model is based on five variables: “population, food production, industrialization, pollution and consumption of non-renewable natural resources”! ... The modern knowledge of ecology of the mutual influence of environmental factors and the associated reactive processes in the environment confirm the Buddha. - At the end there is always transience (age) and decay (diseases)! - The doctrine of mutual entanglement admonishes you not be getting involved too much into what is happening to the environment! ...
Who starts the war is wrong! - No one should be judge in his own cause! ... (M. Luther)

12.02.2010 - Interpretation of dali48
Scientists puzzle over the reasons why myopia (nearsightedness) is nowadays a problem for more people than before! -
One thesis: For people preferring to stay at home certain growth processes of the eyeball are not regulated by light. - Too much sugar also harms the eye! ...
In Germany, about every 3rd person is affected, in the major cities of Asia already 90% are affected! ...
While the Australians spent on average 2 hours per day outdoors, the students from Singapore came only to 30 minutes of fresh air daily! ...
"There is a brake for myopia," said the biologist (I. Morgan), "if you can go outside as often as possible"! ...
It is clear now that inheritance plays a large role! - Twin studies show that if one twin is myopic the probability for the other is at 90%! ...
Eye expert F Schäffeler from the University of Tübingen: "With 2 myopic parents the chance of being short-sighted oneself doubles or triples." - In contrast, L. Cordain of Colorado State University provides that the cause of the rampant myopia lies in the sugared Nutrition (see hidden and camouflaged sugar substitutes in food, etc. - d.48) of our time! ...
In fact, the consumption of soft drinks, sweets and sugared breakfast Ceralien has similar risen as the rate of short-sightedness in recent years! - And in chickens there arose a severe myopia, after they had injected them insulin! ...
There is no preventative treatment till now! - Glasses, contact lenses and corneal surgeries with the laser only change the refraction of light fix, but not the problem of the eyeball! ... (Rhine Post, 12.02.2010)
Interpretation of dali48
Myopia "nearsightedness" (AmE), "shortsightedness" (BrE) is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it! - This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus but in focus when looking at a close object! ...
Eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. - It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. - The corrective lenses have a negative optical power (i.e. are concave) which compensates for the excessive positive diopters of the myopic eye! ...
The National Institutes of Health says there is no known way of preventing myopia, and the use of glasses or contact lenses does not affect its progression. - There is no universally accepted method of preventing myopia; - proposed procedures have not been studied for effectiveness! ...
A number of alternative therapies exist including eye exercises and relaxation techniques, such as the Bates method! - However, the efficacy of these practices is disputed by scientists and eye care practitioners. - A 2005 review of scientific papers on the subject concluded that there was "no clear scientific evidence" that eye exercises were effective in treating myopia (? etc. - d.48)! …
The global prevalence of refractive errors has been estimated from 800 million to 2.3 billion. - The incidence of myopia within sampled population often varies with age, country, sex, race, ethnicity, occupation, environment, and other factors. - Variability in testing and data collection methods makes comparisons of prevalence and progression difficult! ...
A number of studies have shown the incidence of myopia increases with level of education, and many studies have shown a correlation between myopia and a higher intelligence quotient (IQ)! ...
Heredity appears as an important factor associated with juvenile myopia, with smaller contributions from more near work, higher school achievement and less time in sports activity! ...
Many instances of myopic individuals have emerged in popular culture, though not always accurately. - One such instance is in William Golding's Nobel Prize-winning novel Lord of the Flies, which features a character named Piggy who is very nearsighted, and as a result, wears thick glasses! ... (Wikipedia)
Increasing time outdoors is most salient among these. Children living in countries and regions with a high prevalence of myopia, such as Singapore, appear to spend less time outdoors than do children in settings with low prevalence of myopia, such as Australia.28.04.2020
5 Natural Treatments for Myopia
- Increase the Time You Spend Outside. Spending more time outdoors during adolescence and your early adult years may decrease the lifetime risk of nearsightedness. ...
- Protect Your Eyes from the Sun. ...
- Eat Healthily. ...
- Reduce Eyestrain. ...
- Don't Smoke.

12.02.2010 - Interpretation of dali48
Many deer starve to death because of ice and snow. - The long winter will cost the life of plenty of wildlife in the northeast of Germany. - Deer are especially affected because they get no longer feed in the crusted snow and die, so the National Hunting Association of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Hunters reported of more and more dead animals in their districts. - Also, many birds and fish did not survive the frost. - Also game such as hares, rabbits, pheasants and partridges have to suffer of food shortage in the lowlands! ...
Seriously affected since several weeks are the water birds (see e.g. wild geese, etc. - d.48) ... (Rhine Post, 12.02.2010)
Interpretation of dali48
Many species undertake long distance annual migrations, and many more perform shorter irregular movements! - Birds are social; they communicate using visual signals and through calls and songs, and participate in social behaviors, including cooperative breeding and hunting, flocking, and mobbing of predators! - The vast majority of bird species are socially monogamous, usually for one breeding season at a time, sometimes for years, but rarely for life. - Other species have polygynous ("many females") or, rarely, polyandrous ("many males") breeding systems. - Eggs are usually laid in a nest and incubated by the parents. - Most birds have an extended period of parental care after hatching! ...
Many species are of economic importance, mostly as sources of food acquired through hunting or farming. - Some species, particularly songbirds and parrots, are popular as pets. - Other uses include the harvesting of guano (droppings) for use as a fertiliser. - Birds figure prominently in all aspects of human culture from religion to poetry to popular music. - About 120–130 species have become extinct as a result of human activity since the 17th century, and hundreds more before then! - Currently about 1,200 species of birds are threatened with extinction by human activities, though efforts are underway to protect them! ...
Human activities can also be detrimental, and have threatened numerous bird species with extinction (hunting, avian lead poisoning, pesticides, roadkill, and predation by pet cats and dogs are common sources of death for birds)! ...
Domesticated birds raised for meat and eggs, called poultry, are the largest source of animal protein eaten by humans! - In 2003, 76 million tons of poultry and 61 million tons of eggs were produced worldwide! - Chickens account for much of human poultry consumption, though turkeys, ducks, and geese are also relatively common. - Many species of birds are also hunted for meat. - Bird hunting is primarily a recreational activity except in extremely undeveloped areas. - The most important birds hunted in North and South America are waterfowl. Other widely hunted birds include pheasants, wild turkeys, quail, doves, partridge, grouse, snipe, and woodcock. - Mutton-birding is also popular in Australia and New Zealand. Though some hunting, such as that of mutton-birds, may be sustainable, hunting has led to the extinction or endangerment of dozens of species! ...
Birds play prominent and diverse roles in folklore, religion, and popular culture! - In religion, birds may serve as either messengers or priests and leaders for a deity, such as in the Cult of Make-make, in which the Tangata manu of Easter Island served as chiefs, - or as the rooster(cock) serves as a tangible vessel of Christ as in the gospel of – Matthew, Mark and Luke in the New Testament with Christ speaking through the cock, - or as attendants, as in the case of Hugin and Munin, two Common Ravens who whispered news into the ears of the Norse god Odin. -In several civilizations of ancient Italy, particularly Etruscan and Roman religion, priests were involved in augury, or interpreting the words of birds while the "auspex" (from which the word "auspicious" is derived) watched their activities to foretell events! - They may also serve as religious symbols, as when Jonah (Hebrew: dove) embodied the fright, passivity, mourning, and beauty traditionally associated with doves! - Birds have themselves been deified, as in the case of the Common Peacock, which is perceived as Mother Earth by the Dravidians of India. Some birds have also been perceived as monsters, including the mythological Roc and the Māori's legendary Pouākai, a giant bird capable of snatching humans ...
Many bird populations are declining worldwide, with 1,227 species listed as threatened by Bird-life International and the IUCN in 2009! - The most commonly cited human threat to birds is habitat loss (see deforestation etc. - d.48)! - Other threats include over-hunting, accidental mortality due to structural collisions or long-line fishing by-catch, pollution including oil spills (see e.g. Golf of Mexico in 2010 etc. - d.48), and pesticide use (see e.g. bees and neonics etc. - d.48), competition and predation from nonnative invasive species, and climate change! ... (Wikipedia)
Red List Index
The Red List Index (RLI), based on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, is an indicator of the changing state of global biodiversity.On Tuesday, April 20, 2010, an explosion aboard the Deep Water Horizon, located off if the coast of Louisiana, sunk the drilling rig, causing oil to spill. The explosion started a chain of events resulting in the release of approximately 4.9 million barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.12.01.2024
Although less acutely toxic to mammals and other vertebrates than older insecticides, neonicotinoids are highly toxic in small quantities to many invertebrates, including beneficial insects such as bees.
Neonicotinoids are commonly used as insecticides and previous studies have demonstrated that bee colonies chronically exposed to neonicotinoids have a reduced number of adult bees (−28%), brood surface (−13%), and pollen collection (−19%), and tend to exhibit higher queen supersedure as a long-term impact (16).18.04.2022
Neonicotinoids are a group of insecticides used widely on farms and in urban landscapes. They are absorbed by plants and can be present in pollen and nectar, making them toxic to bees.
see dali48 and bees and CCD and neonics since ca. 2000 etc. - Why bees etc. - are dying by the billions, see pesticides and #Neonics http://bit.ly/1vJ6vI6 = 5000 times more toxic to bees than DDT, see http://bit.ly/2tCcl0c, #BieneMenschNatur, #savebeesandfarmers etc... (dali48)
see e.g. bees & neonics, see @tennekes_tox Das grosse Neonics Disaster. Seit 1995 sind bis zu 80 Prozent der Biomasse aller Fluginsekten in NRW verschwunden farmlandbirds.net/de/content/inn… (dali48)
The systemic nature of the problem makes it complex, but not impenetrable. Scientists know that bees are dying from a variety of factors—pesticides, drought, habitat destruction, nutrition deficit, air pollution, global warming and more. Many of these causes are interrelated.
