The effect of purslane supplementation on clinical outcomes, inflammatory and antioxidant markers in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A parallel double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that results in joint dysfunction, inflammation, and increased mortality.The aim of this study was…

The proof that we have drifted in the wrong direction of a species is the fact that call purslane a weed.

It's been a tough week, and you have a little bit of extra money from working hard. You can use it now for fun—or save it for when things might be harder. What do you do?

- Use it now – get a boost, but possibly regret not saving.

- Save it for later– be better prepared, but you won’t feel better.

2. Your friend is excited about a new idea—but you think it has flaws. Should you be honest now, or wait until later?

- Tell your friend the truth now – improve their idea, but risk hurting their feelings.
- Wait until later – protect their confidence, but it might be too late to be helpful.

1. It's the middle of a long race, and you’re in first place, when suddenly you feel a sharp stone in your shoe. What would you do?

- Stop and remove the stone – lose precious time, but run more comfortably later.
- Keep running with the stone – stay ahead for now, but the pain might get worse.

Synthesis kids had a good discussion this week about timing. Every choice has a cost — even doing nothing. Do you take the hit now to make things easier later? Or power through and hope for the best?

True/false: in general, SEL is done well in schools.

(1/2) After reading “Mood Machine” by Liz Pelly, I am ever more disilllusioned about Spotify and its unhealthy infuence over music and culture as both an artist and listener.
