Nobel Prize winner Karl Deisseroth explains how his revolutionary techniques, optogenetics and Clarity, make brain research possible by stimulating nerve cells with light and making mouse brains transparent, allowing for a better understanding of the complex workings of the brain. #Optogenetica #Hersenen #Nobelprijs (translated)

The author argued that Europe needed legal clarity rather than historical amnesia over the Beneš decrees, describing them as part of Czechoslovakia’s post-war history. They wrote that measures associated with the decrees included property confiscations and loss of citizenship affecting many ethnic Germans and Hungarians. https://t.co/QuCOv8va7M #BenešDecrees #EuropeanHistory #LegalClarity #CZ #DE #HU

“Between 1979 and April 2024, we recorded 66,872 Islamist attacks worldwide. These attacks caused the deaths of at least 249,941 people. • 1979-2000: 2,194 attacks and 6,817 deaths. • 2001-2012: 8,265 attacks and 38,187 deaths. • 2013-April 2024: 56,413 attacks” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “The military is the main target (34%) of Islamist terrorists, ahead of civilians (27.7%) and police forces (15.3%). • 1979-2000: military (343 attacks, 15.6%), civilians (530 attacks, 24.1%), police forces (408 attacks, 18.6%). • 2001-2012: military (1,410 attacks, 17.1%), civilians (2,506 attacks, 30.3%), police forces (1,424, 17.2%). • 2013-April 2024 : military (20,556) - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “Most (86.3%) of Islamist terrorist attacks have occurred in Muslim countries1. Similarly, the vast majority of deaths from Islamist terrorist attacks (88.9%) occurred in Muslim countries” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “Number of Islamist terrorist attacks in Muslim countries: 57,726 attacks (86.3% of Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide). Number of deaths caused by Islamist terrorist attacks in Muslim countries: 222,236 deaths (88.9% of deaths caused by Islamist terrorist attacks worldwide)” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “In this study, we define “terrorism” as political acts that meet the principle and criteria of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). In this context, a terrorist act is presented as “the threat of the effective use or use of unlawful force and violence by a non-state actor in order to achieve political, economic, religious or social objectives, through fear, coercion or intimidation”8. This definition is extended to the enumeration of a set of characteristics specifying the nature of the terrorist act: – it must be intentional and result from a conscious calculation by the perpetrator; – it must include some level of violence or threat of imminent violence, whether physical or material; – the perpetrators of the incident must be non-state actors” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “To complete without unduly complicating matters, one can refer in particular to the definition proposed by Edward Walker, because of its relative clarity and conciseness: “By ‘Islamism’, I mean the normative political ideology that has as its core program the establishment of Islam as a state religion and the implementation of Islamic law (shari’a). Militant Islamism, then, is any form of Islamism that advocates the use of violence to achieve Islamist objectives. This same distinction is made by Islamists themselves, who refer to ‘Parties of the Islamic Call’, or al-da’wa al Islamiyya (i.e., Islamist groups that do not advocate violence) on the one hand, and ‘Parties of the Muslim Revolution’, or al-thawra al-Islamiyya (i.e., Islamist groups that do advocate violence) on the other hand14. Acknowledging that there are no universally accepted definitions of Islamism and terrorism, some researchers characterise it as an ideology whose key tenets include: – Belief that Islam is not only a religion, but also a holistic sociopolitical system; – Advocacy of shari’a (Islamic) law as divine state law; – Belief that a transnational Muslim community, known as the Ummah, should unite as a political bloc; – Advocacy of an ‘Islamic’ state, or Caliphate, within which sovereignty belongs to God” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “We have recorded 66,872 Islamist terrorist attacks that killed at least 249,941 people between 1979 and April 2024. Number of attacks: 66,872 Number of wounded: 192,598 Number of deaths: 249,941” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024 “The possible estimate” should be between 300,000 and 400,000 deaths considering the victims of Islamist terrorism in Algeria, according to the hypotheses based on the best-known sources and the most reliable studies” - Islamist terrorist attacks in the world 1979-2024

Péter Magyar, it is time to go to Kyiv. Meet President Zelenskyy, honor Ukraine’s fallen defenders, and state your position clearly. On Ukraine, ambiguity is not enough. Europe needs clarity, solidarity, and resolve. My message is simple: stand in Maidan, stand with Ukraine, and https://t.co/ZjVAjxarfA #StandWithUkraine #EuropeUnited #ClarityInCrisis #UA #EU

My criticism of António Guterres is fundamental: the UN Secretary-General must defend the UN Charter with absolute clarity, especially when Russia wages a full-scale war against Ukraine. Guterres himself called Russia’s invasion a “blatant violation” of the Charter, but I reject https://t.co/83952tYQST #UNCharter #Guterres #UkraineWar #RU #UA

Cowen a făcut aceeași „greșeală” pe care am făcut-o eu anul trecut și urșii au dansat pe mormântul meu, cu toate că niciunul n-a recunoscut că poate a fost noroc. Este între ghilimele „greșeală” pentru că, de fapt, nu este o greșeală în sensul în care se termină planeta și viața, doar prețul a făcut diferit de date. Anul trecut toate datele macro arătau că Bitcoin va merge mai sus în prima fază, bursa își revenise la ATH și a continuat în sus, dobânzile erau tăiate, inflația era ok, șomajul ok etc. Am avut dreptate, macro nu a crăpat, recesiunea nu a venit, bursa a făcut ATH, totuși Bitcoin a luat -50% dintr-o zonă de black swan și a fost singurul asset din univers care scădea. Este dureros? Absolut, dar așa merg piețele și trebuie să ne asumăm când analiza nu se pupă cu realitatea. De asta există risk management. Revenind la Cowen, a avut dreptate. Datele macro au mers după cum a zis, dobânda a fost urcată în septembrie, Clarity Act nu a trecut, dolarul a urcat, randamentele au urcat și, totuși, Bitcoin a urcat și este +40% din subsol. Și da, de data asta eu am avut dreptate. Dar ce contează pentru tine? Nu ar trebui să conteze. Ce mă deranjează este că pe internet nu contează decât dacă ai dreptate sau nu. Nu contează că ți-ai pus banii în joc sau nu, că prețul tău mediu este vizibil pentru toată lumea sau nu. Interesul e cine a avut dreptate și cine nu, de parcă asta te ajută vreodată. Nu te ajută deloc, chiar te încurcă și de asta, pe termen lung, probabil o să pierzi din piețele financiare. În mod normal ar trebui să urmărești oameni care sunt corecți, îți zic intrările, prețul mediu și, mai ales, când greșesc și sunt pe minus. Dar poate sunt eu prost și nu ar mai trebui să fac asta. Pentru că mi-am dat seama că nu contează. Nu contează miile de ore de informații gratis, nu contează coloana vertebrală, nu contează că recunoști greșeala, contează DACĂ AI AVUT DREPTATE SAU NU și, când nu ai dreptate, toți uită că le-ai făcut bine. De aici încolo, Daniel Niță n-o să mai fie bun cu toată lumea și sacul de box al tuturor. Daniel Niță o să fie bun doar cu cine merită. Pe această cale vă mulțumesc că ați rămas aici chiar și în momentele grele. Vă apreciez mult și vă promit că o să dau totul, ca până acum, până la ultima picătură de sânge.

@Toibin1 @purdypols It is important for politicians to know their history which I am sure UvdL does. It is more vital to be able to read the international situation with clarity. This latest move (and let’s see how far it goes) is aimed at pushing back against Trump and Putin by strengthening one #Politics #History #InternationalRelations #US #RU

Le Clarity Act, une loi clé sur la régulation des cryptomonnaies aux États-Unis soutenue par Donald Trump, a échoué au Sénat, entraînant une chute de 5% du bitcoin et soulignant les divisions partisanes persistantes et l'opposition des banques locales. #Bitcoin #ClarityAct #Cryptomonnaies

Le projet de loi CLARITY Act, destiné à réguler les cryptomonnaies aux États-Unis, a échoué au Sénat en raison des divergences entre Républicains et Démocrates sur des mesures de protection liées aux intérêts financiers du président Donald Trump dans le secteur. #Cryptomonnaies #SénatAméricain #Régulation

Πάει το Clarity Act, του χρόνου πάλι.. Βλέπω ακραίο doom στο Τουίτερ. Μέχρι πριν λίγες ημέρες η πιθανότητα έγκρισης ήταν στο 18%(!) Θετικό δεν είναι, αλλά δεν ήρθε και το τέλος του κόσμου 😅 (Coping το λέμε στην Παπούα, ας μας κοροϊδέψουν και λίγο οι bears ok) #ClarityAct #Καράβι #Ειδήσεις

Es oficial… la Clarity Act fracasa🔴 3 Senadores republicanos votaron en contra y finalmente ningún demócrata apoyó #Bitcoin seguirá ejecutando transacciones y protegiendo patrimonio 24/7… veremos que tanto se afecta el precio; aprovechen 🫡 https://t.co/tIyPHjeup4 #ClarityAct #Bitcoin #Senadores

Also Leute, war klar das Clarity Act nicht durchgeht, oder? Überrascht keinen hier. Wir kennen ja Trump langsam. Die versuchen uns jedes Mal zu verar*chen! #Bitcoin #ClarityAct #Trump #Politik

BREAKING: US-Senat stimmt GEGEN den Clarity Act. Die notwendigen 60 Stimmen sind nicht mehr zu erreichen. Damit dürfte das Thema zumindest vorerst vom Tisch sein #Bitcon #Krypto https://t.co/vRXfa26yHz #Krypto #Politik #USA
