The documentary on the last outbreak remain relevant to this day, the causes are still local hygiene practices, and this will not be solved by dropping in medical teams and hospitals and the WHO holding conferences and getting more money.

What solved this last time was the local population learning the importance of washing ones hands

There are a few problems with beeswax, given the very low supply and high demand the price of real beeswax is an order of magnitude greater than paraffin wax, so there is a very large incentive to at the very least mix in some paraffin. Also much of the beehive foundation sheets are made of adulterated wax. But even if you managed to find some real beeswax, given that bees are collecting pollen from many fields that have been treated with pesticide the harmful substances tend to accumulate in the beeswax and the concentration increases every year if not filtered correctly, and given how hard it is to filter it from fatty substance you might end up with some in the wax.

This isn't zero sum. You can do both

Israel introduced a similar concept in 2017 that deposits a small amount of money monthly into a savings or investing account for each child, money can be withdrawn at the age of 18, or later at 21 with a small bonus.

Using these tools to mitigate spam is as likely a scenario as this, imagine that every spam mail receives a masterfully crafted response showing utter fascination and interest in SEO, or helping out a Nigerian prince. Every phone call to an unregistered number is answered by an artificial, frail, and forgetful lady that is trying her best to register gift cards.

When reporting an e-mail as spam it will not only block the address but waste the spammers time, rendering the actions unprofitable.

Seems like simply fasting should yeild the same results without the side effects. Any reason not to recommend fasting then?

Adding to this it seems the morning sunlight contains higher levels of the proposed beneficial 670nm wavelength[0], together with the fact that eyelids let a significantly higher proportion of light spectrum through starting at 600nm[1] this seems like the perfect treatment, weather permitting.

When my mother's eye sight started declining she began sitting with closed eyes in direct early morning sunlight and claimed it helped her significantly, seems like science is finally catching up to folk medicine.

>With a paucity of affordable deep red-light eye-therapies available, Professor Jeffery has been working for no commercial gain with Planet Lighting UK, a small company in Wales and others, with the aim of producing 670nm infra-red eyewear at an affordable cost, in contrast to some other LED devices designed to improve vision available in the US for over $20,000.

Seems like the free therapy of sunlight is a better alternative to all the proposed commercial offerings, especially when considering patient compliance. Asking people to drink their morning coffee while outside is much more attainable than making them wear a headset with LEDs.

The feeling I get from reading the article is that the author felt the need to apologize because of the current social climate, and not for some real reason.

He wasn't born into a rich family and inherited wealth, he simply studied, worked, spent less than he made and invested the difference.

The apology basically boils down to being born in a relatively okay country and being smart.

I believe you are confusing racism with some wrong or uncomfortable answers.

I was using smooth-on ecoflex, the wax was bought from a reputable seller. The result was a sticky uncured expensive mess.

In my experience using beeswax in contact with platinum cure silicons will cause the silicone not to set properly. For the record the molds were for a different purpose.

I stumbled across a similar project that uses digital elevation maps and lidar data to add 3d effect to old maps, the results are quite interesting,
