Seraphina-The Jedi Angel

 

On the luminous realm of Lumina, where celestial music played and laughter of mortals echoed, resided Seraphina, an angel unlike any other. Her halo, a swirl of golden light, pulsed in rhythm with her breaths, and her wings, shimmering with iridescent hues, concealed a lightsaber, its emerald blade a stark contrast to the ethereal landscape. Seraphina wasn't just an angel; she was a Jedi Knight.

One day, a ripple of darkness disturbed the harmony of the realm. Shadows danced in the corners of Lumina, whispers of an ancient evil, the Fallen Star, a celestial being consumed by darkness, spreading his corruption across the cosmos. The Council of Elders, wise and ancient beings, summoned Seraphina.

"The Fallen Star seeks to tear down the fabric of existence," spoke the Eldest, his voice an echo of cosmic wisdom. "His dark influence threatens not just Lumina, but the balance of all realms."

Seraphina accepted the mission, a resolute nod gracing her ethereal features. Her journey would lead her to the desolate asteroid field of Umbra, where the Fallen Star was said to reside. Mounted on her celestial steed, a majestic silver stag with stardust hooves, she ventured into the unknown.

Days turned into weeks as Seraphina navigated the treacherous asteroid field. She encountered lost souls, victims of the Fallen Star's influence, their once bright auras now flickering with darkness. Using her compassion and Jedi teachings, she guided them back to the light, their restored auras illuminating the asteroids like tiny beacons of hope.

Finally, she reached the heart of Umbra, a colossal asteroid engulfed in shadow. The Fallen Star, once a radiant being, now resembled a grotesque caricature of his former self, his once brilliant light replaced by a swirling vortex of darkness.

A battle ensued, light versus darkness. The emerald blade of Seraphina's lightsaber clashed against the Fallen Star's obsidian staff, their energies creating a dazzling spectacle. Seraphina fought not with anger, but with compassion, hoping to reach the spark of good that remained within the corrupted being.

As the fight raged, Seraphina noticed a flicker of light within the Fallen Star's darkness. Using the Force, she probed his mind, witnessing a past filled with pain and betrayal, a descent into darkness fueled by despair.

With a surge of empathy, Seraphina disarmed him. "Your path doesn't have to be this way," she said, her voice soft but firm. "The light still exists within you. Let it guide you."

The Fallen Star faltered, his monstrous form wavering. The whispers of his past echoed in his mind, fighting against Seraphina's offer. Finally, with a deep, shuddering breath, he yielded.

Guided by Seraphina, the Fallen Star embarked on a path of redemption. Together, they cleansed the corrupted asteroid field, their combined light restoring peace and balance. Seraphina, the Jedi Knight angel, had not just defeated an enemy, but had saved a soul.

The news resonated throughout the realms, a testament to the power of faith, compassion, and the unwavering spirit of a Jedi Knight, one who wielded not just a lightsaber, but the luminous hope of a celestial being. 

From then on, Seraphina became a beacon of hope, reminding everyone that even in the darkest places, the light always finds a way.

More of the Sepia Jedi

The Sepia Jedi fight for life

Desert wind whipped around Serra, a Sepia Jedi, her aged face etched with the harsh lines of Tatooine's unforgiving suns. Unlike the classic blue of the Jedi of old, Serra's lightsaber hummed with a warm, sepia glow, a reflection of the ancient order she represented. The near extinction of the Jedi had scattered knowledge, forcing many like Serra to forge their own path, their connection to the Force expressed through unique lightsaber hues.

News had reached her, carried on the whispers of sand people: the Empire, thought crippled after the Death Star's destruction, was regrouping. Rumors spoke of a new battle station, even more formidable than the last. Serra knew she couldn't stand idly by. The Force pulsed a warning, a tremor in the desert's serenity.

Her destination: a forgotten Jedi outpost nestled within a cluster of jagged canyons. Legends spoke of a hidden library, containing knowledge that could aid the dwindling resistance. But the path was fraught with danger. Imperial patrols crisscrossed the wastelands, and whispers spoke of a relentless bounty hunter, a glint of chrome in the desolate landscape.

Her first obstacle materialized as a squad of stormtroopers, their white armor stark against the sepia dunes. Serra ignited her lightsaber, the warm glow a beacon in the twilight. Her movements, though slower than they once were, held the honed grace of a lifetime spent wielding the Force. The troopers, surprised by this unexpected foe, fell quickly, their blaster bolts deflected with practiced ease.

But her triumph was short-lived. A glint in the distance confirmed her fears: Boba Fett. The infamous hunter, his Mandalorian armor gleaming, approached with a predatory swagger. Serra knew his reputation; a relentless tracker, a merciless killer.

Their fight was a dance of experience. Fett's jetpack granted him an aerial advantage, but Serra's connection to the Force allowed her to anticipate his movements. Her sepia blade met his blaster fire in a dazzling display of light and heat. The sand churned beneath their feet, the setting suns casting long, distorted shadows.

Just as Serra felt the tide turning, a deafening roar shattered the desert's silence. A colossal Star Destroyer, dwarfing even the largest sandcrawler, ripped through the atmosphere, its arrival shaking the very ground. It was the new battle station, rumors confirmed. Fett, momentarily distracted, lowered his guard. Serra seized the opportunity, a surge of Force energy pushing him back with a telekinetic blast. Wounded and disoriented, the hunter retreated, vowing revenge.

Exhausted but resolute, Serra continued her trek, the looming shadow of the Empire a stark reminder of the task at hand. Reaching the hidden outpost, she unearthed the ancient library. Its dusty tomes held forgotten lore, whispers of forgotten Force techniques, and most importantly, the location of a hidden rebel base – a flicker of hope amidst the encroaching darkness.

As Serra emerged from the canyons, the first stars twinkled in the twilight sky. The battle station loomed ominously on the horizon, a testament to the Empire's might. But Serra, her spirit unbroken, knew the fight was far from over. With newfound knowledge and the knowledge of the rebel base, she would continue the fight, a beacon of hope in a galaxy shrouded in the sepia tones of tyranny. The Empire might be striking back, but the Jedi, even the unorthodox Sepia Jedi, were far from defeated.

In a galaxy tinted by the sepia tones of a bygone era, there existed a unique order of Jedi known as the Sepia Jedi. Unlike their counterparts, they harnessed the Force through the ancient art of memory, drawing power from the collective recollections of the past.

As the Empire’s shadow loomed large, threatening to erase the history and culture of countless worlds, the Sepia Jedi stood as guardians of heritage and tradition. Their leader, Master Archivan, was a sage whose very presence was a bridge to the days of old.

The Empire, led by a fearsome Sith Lord known as Darth Nihilus, launched a campaign to strike back against the growing resistance. They sought to crush any opposition that dared to challenge their might.

 Master Archivan, sensing a disturbance in the Force, gathered his most skilled warriors. Among them was a young Jedi named Kaelum, whose affinity for the Force was unlike any other. His ability to evoke powerful memories could rally people to their cause.

The Sepia Jedi met the Imperial forces on the plains of Venera, a world rich with history. As the battle raged, Kaelum stepped forward, his sepia lightsaber blazing like a beacon of hope. He closed his eyes, calling upon the memories of Venera’s greatest battles and victories.

The air shimmered around him, and the spirits of ancient heroes manifested, fighting alongside the Sepia Jedi. The Empire’s troops, overwhelmed by the sheer force of history and valor, began to falter.

Darth Nihilus, enraged by the turn of events, engaged Master Archivan in a fierce duel. The clash of their sabers echoed through the Force, a testament to the struggle between progress and preservation.

In the end, it was the will of the Sepia Jedi that prevailed. With the Empire’s forces retreating, the memories of the past had protected the future. The Sepia Jedi had shown that even in the face of overwhelming power, the spirit of the people would never be extinguished.

And so, the legend of the Sepia Jedi continued, a tale whispered across the galaxy, inspiring all those who heard it to stand against tyranny and remember their roots.

I hope you enjoyed this tale of the Sepia Jedi and her stand against the Empire. May the Force be with you!

Familicide: Family Mass Killings

Familicide: Family Annihilation 

The most Common Type of Mass Killings in America

A pattern emerges

American Family annihilation cases

According to ABC News contributor and former FBI agent Brad Garrett, people responsible for killing their families tend to be white males in their 30s. Many of these crimes occur in August, before school starts, which may delay detection and investigation.

A 42-year-old Utah man gunned down seven family members, including his five children between ages 4 and 17, then turned the gun on himself — two weeks after his wife had filed for divorce, authorities said.

Officials in Enoch City on Thursday identified the suspected gunman in the murder-suicide as 42-year-old Michael Haight, and the victims as his wife, Tausha Haight, 40, their three daughters, ages 17, 12 and 7, and two sons, ages 7 and 4.

Also killed was Tausha Haight’s mother, 78-year-old Gail Earl, according to a press release from the Enoch City government. Each of the victims appeared to have gunshot wounds.23

The Pike County Massacre saw 8 people killed and it "shocked the state" though most people outside of Ohio never heard of it, and it soon was removed from the headlines.

The main sport of MAGA men

Jeffrey MacDonald was, as the saying goes, outstanding in that capacity, murdering his pregnant wife and the two young daughters they had together. And he tried to blame the slaughter on Manson-style hippies, including bizarre details like a floppy hat and a candle, the killers chanting: "Kill the pigs." Fascinating case, but the loathsome MacDonald gets under your skin.

What Causes Breast Cancer?

Breast Cancer.

For some women with the BRCA1 gene mutation, the lifetime risk of breast cancer is as high as 80 percent.

While the exact cause of breast cancer isn't known, we do know that the disease occurs when some breast cells begin growing abnormally.

These cells divide more rapidly than healthy cells and then start to accumulate, forming a lump or mass.

These cancer cells can spread (metastasize) throughout the breast and into lymph nodes or to other parts of your body.

Most of the time, breast cancer begins with cells in the milk-producing ducts. But it can also begin in the glandular tissue called lobules, or in other cells within the breast.

While several lifestyle-related, environmental, and hormonal factors may increase your risk of developing breast cancer, none of these factors guarantee you'll develop the disease.

Moreover, many women who develop the disease have no known risk factors.

While some people who get breast cancer don't have any of the following risk factors, these traits increase your risk of developing breast cancer:

Being a woman

Obesity

Older age

Personal history of breast cancer in one breast (increases your risk of getting it in the other breast)

Family history of breast cancer in close relatives such as your mother, sister, or daughter - especially if they developed the disease at a young age

Inherited genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2

Radiation exposure to your chest as a child or young adult

Starting your menstrual cycle before the age of 12

Beginning menopause at an older age

Giving birth for the first time after the age of 35

Never being pregnant

Taking hormone therapy that combines estrogen and progesterone

Drinking alcohol

DIABETES & YOUR SEX LIFE PART

DIABETIC: DIABETES & YOUR SEX LIFE 

Helpful Tips for People with Diabetes - Improve Sexual Function and Libido

How does a woman feel sexy with a plastic pump attached to her legs, lower back, stomach, or arms? When your husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend puts their hand around your back, how do you feel when they brush against your pump? Do the bruises on your stomach from injections make you feel less desirable? Does the extra weight make you want to dress in loose, less revealing clothing?
Having sex for the first time can be an exciting, embarrassing, and overwhelming event. For young women with diabetes, the fact that we have to think about our blood sugar and/or medical supplies getting in the way can create additional feelings of self-consciousness. Diabetes may keep some women from rushing into having sex, whereas
diabetes may act as a catalyst for others. For the rest, like Ann, diabetes won’t make a difference under the sheets at all.

Been in the mood for love lately? If the answer is not so much, know that it's not just you. Approximately 50 percent of men and 35 percent of women with type 2 diabetes experience sexual difficulties. That's no surprise, considering the host of physical and psychological challenges that often accompany diabetes.
Still, you can clear sexual hurdles and attain an active love life. More than 60 percent of partnered, middle-aged people with diabetes have sex at least two or three times a month, according to a study published in the journal Diabetes Care. That frequency is comparable to people in the same age group without diabetes.
Don't give up and assume sex is just another thing diabetes will take from you. Reliable treatments and coping strategies are available for physical as well as psychological issues. Rediscover your sexual self with the help of these expert tips.

Self-esteem and Sex
My personal theory is that in order to feel sexy and fully enjoy sex, we
need to feel pride instead of shame when it comes to our physical selves.
I think, many women with diabetes are often at war with their bodies.
We deny ourselves of food in order to be thin, beat ourselves up when
we eat more than we think we should, and when we look in the mirror,
we only see the things we don’t like. As women with chronic illnesses,
we are constantly “battling” our bodies into submission, we are “waging
a war” against blood sugars, and war is not sexy. We treat our bodies like
scientific experiments, and our sexual satisfaction will only increase
when we learn to be kind to ourselves and honor our physical selves.
Having good sex and feeling sexy doesn’t come naturally for a lot of
women, and if we want to get good at it, it’ll take practice. We need to
learn to visualize our physical selves as healthy, strong, and sexy.

Diabetics The Diabetes Epidemic Isn't Over.

The number of people newly diagnosed with diabetes continues to decline after decades of increases that transformed what was once a disease of the old into a public health crisis that affects even children.

That's not to say the crisis is over; 1.4 million people were diagnosed with diabetes in 2014, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's down from 1.7 million new cases in 2009, the fifth straight year of decline.

The numbers are going in the right direction, says Ann Albright, director of the CDC's division of diabetes translation, "but we still have a long, long way to go."

Indeed, the number of new cases each year are still triple what they were in 1980. And 29 million people, 9 percent of the U.S. population, have diabetes. Black and Hispanic people continue to be far more vulnerable. The number of new cases showed no consistent change among Hispanics from 2009 to 2014, and didn't change significantly among blacks.


Diabetes increases a person's risk of heart attack, stroke, blindness, as well as for nerve damage and circulatory problems that can lead to amputation.

"It's not like we've beaten the epidemic, but it's the first good news we've had in several decades," says Dr. David Nathan, a diabetes researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. He's hopeful that if the trend continues, eventually the number of people with diabetes will start to decline, too.

The CDC data comes from a national survey that lumps together Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, even though they are very different. Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder that is usually diagnosed in childhood and is not affected by obesity. Type 2 is typically diagnosed in older people, and obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are key risk factors. It is much more common than Type 1, accounting for 95 percent of diabetes.

The big question, of course, is why are the numbers finally looking up.

People are also more aware of the importance of healthy food, Albright says, and are starting to turn away from sodas and junk food. "We need to marshall our energy, our communities, in support of those healthy choices." she says.


The nation's rising rate of obesity appears to have plateaued, but it's not declining the way new diabetes diagnoses are, notes Dr. George King, chief scientific officer for the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. "This is a big change," King says. "That means that something is changing faster than the obesity rate. Activity, sleep patterns, processed food — it's probably a combination of all these things.



Even so, knowing that “respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and the flu have never been well-contained by vaccines,” Fauci continued to push the shots. And what does he have to say about it now? While “past unsuccessful attempts to elicit solid protection” against these viruses is a “scientific and public health failure,” he and his colleagues are excited to have been a part of rethinking the process “from the ground up.”
