Today is Monday…Labor Day…and I am Laborishly (I just made that word up) working away at bringing you yet another issue of your favorite ezine since I will be QUITE the busy dragon this week. It is not only the UTA week, which has all the things associated with it, but I am loaded down with meetings and classes this week, plus I have to take Thursday off for a special…hush-hush…secret project that you may or may not hear about after it is over with. We’ll have to see how it all pans out.
IN THE MEAN TIME …
We are STILL getting donations and I can’t thank you all enough, it is truly wonderful thing. August is officially over, but I won’t turn down anymore donations…every single little donation helps, that is for absolute certainty.

A local newspaper ran several stories about a study that tied male obesity to a virus.

31 Facts About Crime and Law to Yell in Court to Prove Your Innocence
Did you know that the sunflower hides an amazing mathematical secret?
The sunflower is not just a beautiful flower; its seeds follow the Fibonacci spiral, a precise mathematical pattern that helps it grow with amazing efficiency!
This flower arranges its seeds according to the Fibonacci sequence, giving it the best possible distribution of space within the disc and allowing it to produce the largest number of seeds without overcrowding. This clever arrangement ensures optimal absorption of light and nutrients, making it one of the most efficient plants in nature!
But it’s not limited to plants!
In a spiral, its shell grows in a spiral shape that gradually expands at the same Fibonacci ratio, giving it strength and a solid structure.
In galaxies and planets, some spiral galaxies follow the same ratio in the arrangement of their arms, while this pattern also appears in the orbits of some planets and moons, reflecting a harmonious mathematical system in the universe.

Roland Mehrez Beainy, a Lebanese immigrant who began operating the Trump Burgers mini-chain in 2020, has been accused of overstaying his visitor’s visa, which expired in February 2024. As a result, the 28-year-old was arrested by immigration officials in May.
Beainy has also been accused of having an assault charge on his record and orchestrating a fake marriage in order to gain permanent residency — members of his own family called it a “sham designed to game the system.”
Some won’t get that one, either.

Right?!
Well…above and beyond that the whole concept is wrong! We did not evolve from anything!
There are only two things in the world that a child will willingly share…
