#Article: Yorkshire Puffin Festival is back Yorkshire Wildlife Trust holding its 5th annual puffin festival on Flamborough Cliffs on 1st and 2nd June 2024 #UK https://www.ywt.org.uk/news/yorkshire-puffin-festival-back
#ArticleSummary: "The Yorkshire Puffin Festival, organized by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, celebrates one of the UK's largest puffin colonies on the cliffs from Filey to Bridlington. The festival, held on Flamborough Cliffs on 1st and 2nd June, offers various activities such as guided walks, boat trips, art projects, storytelling, games, and more for visitors to enjoy and learn about these iconic seabirds. Puffins, also known as 'sea parrots,' are recognizable for their colorful beaks and are a delight to watch as they return to the cliffs to raise their chicks during late spring. The festival aims to raise awareness about the decline of puffins globally and the importance of protecting their habitats and food sources. The event is supported by Yorkshire Coast BID and offers both pre-booked and drop-in activities for attendees to participate in."

I am excited that tomorrow is Monday, the start of a new work week. This means there will be new jobs toapply to and hiring managers will look at my applications to Australia and New Zealand, the perfect places to quote John Keats its a "Nature Observatory" for me! I wanted my final post of today, #SundayFunday, to be about some nice, informative discussions about nature. Ergo, the article about Puffins and BBC Climate questions podcast -- unlike BBC iPlayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer which maynot be available globally (I have it cause I lived in UK), BBC sounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/podcasts is available globally (with or without login, but I login to keep track of podcasts and also to encourage them to keep up the good work, as more subscribers means they are doing good work) or you can get it on podcast players.

The English puffin bird is indeed native to the UK. The Atlantic puffin, also known as the common puffin, is a species of seabird that can be found in coastal areas of the North Atlantic Ocean, including regions around the United Kingdom. Puffins are known for their distinctive appearance with colorful beaks and penguin-like coloring. They hold a special place in British culture as iconic seabirds that represent the natural beauty of coastal regions. Their presence along the cliffs and islands of the UK has inspired artists, writers, and conservationists alike.

Contrary to popular belief, the English muffin did not originate in England. The inventor of the English muffin was Samuel Bath Thomas, a British expatriate who emigrated to New York City in the late 19th century. He created what he called a “toaster crumpet,” which later became known as the English muffin. The term “English muffin” was coined in 1894 and gained popularity in the United States. The consumption of English muffins in the UK reflects the country’s openness to culinary influences from around the world. The adaptation of this US bread product into British cuisine showcases how food traditions can evolve and blend across borders, although it was invented by a Briton in the US.

As everyone knows, North America was founded by Europeans such as Leif Erikson, a Viking explorer who arrived 500 years before Christopher Columbus in 1492. Other explorers and settlers who came to North America include Ponce de León in 1513, Hernando de Soto in 1539, Jacques Cartier in 1534, Sir Francis Drake in 1577, Samuel de Champlain in 1603, Henry Hudson in 1607, John Smith in 1607, and William Bradford and other Pilgrims who arrived on the "Mayflower" in 1620. For them, North America was the "American Experiment". For them indeed, North America was the "American Experiment", now as far as I am concerned "American Experiment (US not Canada) has failed". So I am venture to Australia and New Zealand, founded by another European Captain James Cook 1768 onwards.

Also, after much contemplation, I've decided to pick #Australia and #NewZealand as the go-to places. Either I get there by getting a job now, which I absolutely prefer, or I wait for years to complete a project, then make fame or fortune from it to get a golden visa, permanent residency, and citizenship there. Yesterday, I rewatched a 4K New Zealand and 4K Australia drone video, and I don't know when I fell asleep and started dreaming. In what I now know was a dream because I woke up, I saw I was at a beautiful place that's not overpopulated by humans, got green trees, got blue ocean, got birds flying, no smoke of combustion like in India or smoke of forest fires like in the US, green signs on fuel outlets, and I saw some conservationists who were doing the capture and release of fish and birds to collect material for genome analysis without killing them. I asked them if they came across any birds or fish dead bodies that had man-made plastic and other materials filling and filling their guts, starving them to death, not to mention microplastic is harming humans too, to which they said they had completely eliminated such pollution from their environment both by public, private, and citizen science initiatives. Then I really saw the statistics: this country does not have a lot of people, even when you sum up the legal and illegal population, like India, China, the US, UK, and EU, to which the group said at the same time, we have enough. I smiled and said yes, I agree, and I am glad your people are enlightened to see it that way; it shows I have come to the right place. Then I excused myself and went to an open restaurant to have English Fish-n-Chips with German Coffee. Then I woke up and realized it was a dream. I am still stuck in India, while all the unskilled legal immigrants, and worse, the unskilled illegal immigrants, walk in or float in to the US, UK, and EU unrestrained and are welcomed with free food, free housing, and free healthcare. First,  I'm more qualified than them and will be paying my taxes. I don't want anything free. Still, I am the one stuck here in India, which makes no sense. That's when I grabbed Sir Edmund Hillary's #HighAdventure #Everest book, which has been my long-standing go-to book for getting my mojo back, and I am now applying for positions in Australia and New Zealand.

#Article: Beyond the Standard Model by #BigPictureScience #Podcast #Audio #Tunein http://tun.in/tBlBKI
#ArticleSummary: "Ever heard of a beauty quark? How about a glueball? Physics is full of weird particles that leave many of us scratching our heads. But these tiny particles make up everything in the quantum world and in us and are the basis of the fundamental scientific theory called The Standard Model. But it doesn’t explain everything. It can’t account for dark matter or dark energy, for example. We find out whether new physics experiments might force us to rewrite the Standard Model. Plus, we discuss a NASA proposal to fly spacecraft close to the sun in search of new physics. Guests: Phil Plait – Aka the Bad Astronomer, former astronomer on Hubble, teacher, lecturer and debunker of conspiracy theories. He is also the author of a new book “Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer’s Guide to the Universe.” Harry Cliff – Particle physicist at the University of Cambridge who works on the LHCb experiment at the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, CERN. He is the author of: “Space Oddities, The Mysterious Anomalies Challenging Our Understanding of the Universe.” Slava Turyshev – Research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake. Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network."

#BigPictureScience is to Science, what #FreakonomicsRadio is to Economics and #PhilosophizeThis is to Philosophy. Now, this article, rather podcast episode is a fascinating discussion by physicists about the matter as it organizes and changes spatiotemporally in space. It reminded me of Richard Feynman's quote, "I, an atom in the universe; I, an universe of atoms," and Kierkegaard's insight on humans being a "synthesis of finite and infinite". It's intriguing to see how both science and philosophy converge on similar existential conclusions about existence. This inspired me to focus matter as it organizes and changes spatiotemporally in biological systems. In my research, I have focused on the integration of various omics datasets and the development of an integrated computational pipeline for this purpose. Recently, I successfully integrated different gene expression datasets related to heavy metal toxicity but all of one type (transcriptomics) and constructed a machine learning model using this integrated data, here HAL Archive France https://hal.science/hal-04084188 . Currently, my goal is to expand this integration to include different types of omics data (not just transcriptomics) along with imaging data to build advanced machine learning models, deep learning algorithms, and knowledge graphs. I plan to share my work on the HAL Archive France, create tutorials, and make the codes openly available for the scientific community. While exploring multimodal data, I came across the concept of "multi-level" data organization, which highlights the hierarchical structure of organism from molecules to organisms. However, I noticed a common confusion regarding the term "multi-scale," where the term "scale" is often misinterpreted as level rather than spatial or temporal scale. So I want to clear the air on this, because this will be like the first chapter of #fairwissenschaft foundations. Let me explain.

1. Multi-Levels in Biology:
• Biological systems can be studied at different organizational levels, including the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organism, population, and ecosystem levels. Each level has distinct properties and interactions contributing to the functioning of living organisms.
• Molecular Level: Involves the study of essential biological molecules such as DNA and proteins.
• Cellular Level: Focuses on the structure and function of cells, including processes like cell division and metabolism.
• Tissue Level: Involves groups of cells working together to perform specific functions, such as muscle and nervous tissue.
• Organ Level: Examines structures composed of different types of tissues working together to carry out specific functions in an organism, like the heart and lungs.
• Organism Level: Studies entire organisms as integrated systems with various organs working together.
• Population Level: Focuses on groups of individuals of the same species and their interactions in a particular area.
• Ecosystem Level: Encompasses all living organisms in a particular area along with their physical environment.

#ArticleSummary: "A poll commissioned by Parentkind has found that 83% of parents in #GreatBritain #UK #England believe that smartphones are harmful to children and young people, and 58% believe the government should ban smartphones for under-16s. The figure is even higher among parents of primary school children, with 77% supporting a ban on smartphones for this age group. Concerns over online bullying and access to harmful content were cited as reasons for support. Parentkind is calling on all political parties to include a ban on smartphones for children in their manifestos ahead of the general election."

I have previously discussed about social media impact on mental health of young adults, and suggested experiments, presently I will expand and clarify some of the points in that article. As #fairwissenschaft product is for the west, these are the principles I will follow, but since I am commited to sharing knowledge in keeping with FAIR principles, I am sharing the idea and methods to apply the idea here, so that more development and research can occus in this field. Basically, when internet is used properly and safely #privacymatters #cybersecurity then internet is a place to observe that drives learnign and application i.e. stimulate curiosity and critical thinking, provide 'pleasure of finding things out' quote Richard Feynman, dive discovery and innovation. Internet web surfing minus the adult crap dark web crap is like "Cloud No 9" quote Bryan Adams song. Let me explain.

#Context
• 1. The Internet as a Tool for Exploration and Learning
• While the Internet is not primarily an educational tool, it offers immense potential for the exploration of new forms of learning, collaboration, and sharing of knowledge, especially in informal learning settings. The internet is a vast place of exploration and discovery, where the knowledge of the world can be searched and found on websites and databases through web surfing. It is accessible to anyone with just a few keystrokes. The internet is a virtual laboratory where anyone can apply the scientific method or a data-driven approach in sciences, humanities, and all knowledge domains to explore, observe, discover, innovate, learn, and apply knowledge across different fields, making anyone a knowledge worker or citizen scientist. The internet is also a place for project-based learning, where one learns by applying knowledge in a project. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Teach me, I forget; show me, I remember; involve me, I learn (and apply)." With some background in sciences and humanities, which is the goal of the project that one does as a labor of love in their leisure time, anyone can get the fundamentals of science and humanities. After that, they are even more prepared to better utilize the power of knowledge across knowledge domains that is present on the internet.
• 2.The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health
• This is how the internet was early on, as described above, before the advent of social media, which not only resulted in echo chambers but also allowed the spread of awful opinions without necessarily having any basis in fact. Excessive use of social media has the potential to negatively impact mental health and everyday functioning, highlighting the importance of raising awareness about the risks associated with its prolonged use.To address this, I try to change this in my own regard by always using citations and references whenever I post something on social media, not only for my website but also for my social media posts.

Agnus Harvey, you're wrong, nobody "missed" the so called "good news" you had to speak about, its rather that intelligent people ignored your BAD LIES AND COVERUP FOR CHINA. In response to half-truth presentation lies by Angus Harvey at #TedTalksDaily #TedTalk #Ted

#Statement by Presenter, Agnus Harvey:
"The good news you might have missed" https://www.ted.com/talks/angus_hervey_the_good_news_you_might_have_missed #TedTalksDaily #TedTalk #Ted
Agnus, said that "50% of developed countries have reduced emission of greenhouse gases to levels 50 years back..." he also mentioned China is doing a great job at reducing greenhouse emmisons and China has created conservation regions in Tibet.

#Fact Check by Me, Shradha Mukherjee:
Data1 (screenshot): https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-ghg-emissions?tab=chart&country=European+Union+%2828%29~USA~GBR~CHN~AUS~CAN~NZL
Data2 (screenshot): https://ourworldindata.org/co2-dataset-sources
Inference: Sure, developed western countries green house gas CO2 emmission has gone down, they were not the biggest polluters anyways, 2.19 in 1974 to 1.91 billion tons in 2022. But your biggest polluters China greenhouse gas CO2 emmission has gone up, from 2.37 billion tons in 1974 to 13.94 billion tons in 2022.
Global greenhouse gas CO2 emmission has gone up from 17 billion tons in 1974 to 37.15 billion tons in 2022.

#Discussion:
Agnus Harvey is cherry picking and presenting the data in such a way so as to make Chine look like a non-polluter. This is not fair wissenschaft #fairissenschaft. To say it bluntly Angus Hervey is a liar. In the first few minuites I had already heard enough lies, Agnus Harvey lost all credibility.
Ted Talks, #TedTalksDaily #TedTalk #Ted I am a huge fan and respect your work much, I use your talks as references for #fairwissenschaft. Thus, to uphold your high standards I request you to please remove Agnus Harvey video and podcast, similar to how in academia fake publications are retracted. Also, how in academia people write rebutal to another's fake retracted publications, I have done the rebuttal here to rebuff his false claims. I have shared the screenshots of the data and the links where I got it from so that you and everyone can verify the facts for themselves. Also, I have experience with giving seminars such as at internationally acclaimed conferences, namely Keystone Conference and Gordon Conference, so if you like I will be happy to give a rebuttal talk with citation -- unlike Agnus Harvey who did not have citations for obvious reasons, he was lying.
Mother Earth is in existential crisis, let's not confound the problem by spreading such lies.

P.S. Is Agnus Harvey funded by China? I would not be surprised.
P.S. Tibet belongs to Tibetans, Tibet does not belong to China.

Jerry Seinfeld thank you for the great Duke University commencement speech. Indeed, I agree with you that humor is a survival skill. When I'm frustrated, my goto solutions are 'Virtue of Work' (eaplained in "The Song Celestial" quote Sir Edwin Arnold) and clean wholesome all age appropriate entertainment (audio, video, text) usually found in 'Old Time Classics' and ofcourse in Jerry Seinfeld, and Jay Leno style of entertainment, so together we can call them 'Quality Classics'. The difference between the 'Classics' and current entertainment offerings is that the latter are extremely violent and lack aesthetic value. This deteoriation fo entertainment is happening due to wokeism that is hurting every type of genre in entertainment be it tv, movies, music, books, or social media. Let me explain.

1. Quality value
"And then there were none" - a fitting quote from the title of Agatha Christie's book, to describe how 'woke trash' is taking over 'classic quality' entertainment. Taking example of, 'Dr. Who' and 'Death in Paradise' which transitioned from being 'classics' to 'woke trash' by forcing lead casting of Ncuti Gatwa and Don Gilet, respectively as a woke attempt at diversity rather than a genuine effort to create engaging content. In its classic version, David Tennant still the best 'DrWho' and Kris Marshall still the best DI in 'DeathInParadise'. Quality entertainment is sacrificed again and again by BBC (UK) PBS (UK) Disney (US) Hollywood et. al. 'telly' TV Movies for the sake of ticking HR category boxes. I refuse to let these misguided decisions taint my viewing experience. Beyond Paradise and Jay Leno's Garage, the occasional documentaries and movies may be the only thing worth watching on BBC (UK) PBS (UK) Disney (US) Hollywood et. al. 'telly' TV Movies right now, while clean wholesome all age appropriate watch classics remain timeless favorites and continue to stand the test of time. Being classics most of these are available for free on #InternetArchive #Dailymotion #Youtube #IMDB #PlutoTV (by #CBS) #TubiTV (by #Fox) #PlexTV #Crackle and more (see references). Here's the list of quality over quantity, of universal appeal over woke agenda, of all age appropriate content over gory violence and sex addiction:

I was trying to download latest Geany and VS Codium on my Linux/Ubuntu (unlike Satya Nadella's Microsoft's VS Code, this VS Codium does not spy on you i.e. it does not collect Telemetry) . FYI, my Ubuntu/Linux is a dual boot system, so that I am not forced to use Satya Nadella's Windows OS on my PC laptop -- using Satya Nadella's Microsoft is like being 'Between the devil and the deep blue sea" when it comes to cybersecurity cause Satya Nadella's Microsoft itself does not respect user privacy, and on top of that its vulnerable to hackers due to weak security. I searched for Geany and VS Codium in the Ubuntu Software Center. While Geany successfully installed through the Ubuntu Software Center, VS Codium did not. To resolve this, I decided to give Flatpack/Flathub a try, and I found that VS Codium installed smoothly through this method. Although I could have used 'sudo apt' or 'sudo apt-get' commands in the Terminal to install these software packages, I chose to utilize the graphical interface (App Store) of the Ubuntu Software Center and Flatpack/Flathub. This decision was motivated by the upcoming tutorials/classes on my #fairwissenschaft website, where I will be focusing on Linux/Ubuntu. It is crucial to demonstrate the user-friendly nature of these systems, especially for beginners, to ensure they feel comfortable and not overwhelmed by the command line interface. Therefore, I showcased the installation process through the GUI versions of Ubuntu Software Center and Flatpack/Flathub before delving into Terminal usage.
Previously, I wanted to use 3 BigTech tools, Mac OS (will use Canonical Ubuntu instead), Google Colabs (will use Jupyter notebook Anaconda instead) and Amazon Cloud AWS (wil use OVHcloud, Oracle instead), (who are better than Alibab, Tiktok, Microsoft and Meta as my previous posts have discussed) but I decided not to include any BigTech because there is a lot of good products out there in the western civilization (EU, UK, Aus, NZ, Can, US), that can be used without compromising cybersecurity (privacy and security). The latter are either free and/or they treat users as customers not products, i.e. unlike BigTech they don't sell our data.

This article highlights that respecting women is the fundamental sex education men need. Harassing, abusing, molesting, sexually asaulting, killing (femicide) women in the name of male instinct is not an excuse -- with genetic engineering especially crispr its possible to completely turn off male testosterone and other related genes thus effectively muting all male problem behaviours of violence, crime, incest, rape, murder and sexual male instinct, to make world will be safer for everyone. Be it in the barbarian countries or the civilized west majority of crimes are by men, that to men of color and muslims, so just fix them and world will be safer for everyone. But nobody is funding such research, not even Jennifer A. Doudna who discovered crispr is conducting such research, so science can solve this but no one will use it, that's that. When it comes to barbarian places like India, China, Asia in general, Africa, South America and Middle East the male behaviours mentioned above are even worse. Example: in India males publicly display their junk out in public places to urinate, with even cops around without any legal action or even scolding or warning. Ergo, in my house I have to close off my window at all times because men are peeing outside all the time --now you see I was not kidding in my previous social media posts when I said in India there is no security for women even at home, forget about outside home.

Women are not objects for men to exert power over but individuals deserving of respect and equality. With the progression of women's liberation, men may struggle with feelings of inferiority as traditional provider roles evolve. Women possess natural multitasking abilities and emotional intelligence, including the unique ability to release pent-up emotions through crying. These traits are invaluable and contribute to their overall intelligence, which can be equal to or even surpass that of men in various aspects. In the animal kingdom, male roles in reproduction vary greatly. Bees eliminate drones after mating, while some primate species like monkeys involve males in broader activities beyond reproduction. However, males are often replaced once their reproductive duties are fulfilled, with their lives sometimes ending in sudden death at the hands of rivals. In contrast, females typically live longer and lead more stable lives, such as in whale and elephant societies where females take the lead. The biological ability of women to give birth highlights a significant difference between genders, influencing societal expectations. Women's skill in balancing multiple roles at home and work showcases their adaptability and strengths. Men thrive best when they embrace equality and mutual respect rather than seeking dominance. Like castrated bulls, men can flourish through collaboration and respect in society.

#ArticleSummary: "In recent months there have been multiple threats posed by state-sponsored hacking groups, such as APT28 (Russia) and APT31 (China) . There is need for organizations and countries to remain vigilant and proactive in defending against cyber threats. Tensions regarding cyber espionage and influence operations have contributed to the growing need for strengthened cybersecurity measures and international cooperation to address the threat of state-sponsored cyberattacks. The west (US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand), who are torchbearers of humanity, have presented an unified front in condemnation of Russian and China cyber attacks. In Germany, APT28 (Russia) compromised e-mail accounts of members of government, while in Czech Republic APT28 (Russia) has been targetting state institutions atleast 2023 onwards. Germany's government has already summoned the acting "chargé d'affaires" of the Russian embassy to investigate further. The APT31 (China) did cyber attack on the UK and US, and it was recently found that China was behind the cyberattack on New Zealand's parliament in 2021. The free world has emphasized the growing threat of state-sponsored, especially China and Russia sponsored cyberattacks and the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures and international cooperation to address this evolving threat."

Awareness and understanding of cybersecurity especially, APTs are vital for maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture. Organizations must proactively assess and continuously improve their defenses to mitigate the risks posed by these stealthy and persistent cyber threats. Its new version of age old Good vs Evil war all over again. Let me explain.

#Introduction
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a critical concern in the field of cybersecurity. They involve unauthorized users, often sophisticated cybercriminals or state-sponsored actors, who infiltrate a network and maintain their presence without being detected for long periods. The stealth and persistence of these attackers allow them to move laterally across the network, accessing sensitive information and systems. The threat posed by APTs is significant because they can lead to substantial data breaches, corporate or governmental espionage, and the potential disruption or sabotage of critical infrastructure. Understanding and defending against APTs is essential for the security of organizations' digital assets and the protection of national security interests.

#Overview of APT Groups
APT groups are typically well-organized, with resources often comparable to those of nation-states. They aim to steal data, disrupt operations, or conduct espionage. Notable APT groups are (anti human civilization) from Russia, China and Iran:
1) APT28 (Fancy Bear): Believed to be associated with the Russian government, APT28 has been involved in various cyber espionage campaigns targeting governments, military, and security organizations.
2) APT29 (Cozy Bear): Another group linked to Russia, APT29 has been involved in cyber espionage activities targeting government agencies, think tanks, and other organizations.
3) APT33 (Elfin): A group associated with Iran, APT33 has targeted organizations in the aerospace, energy, and petrochemical sectors with a focus on espionage and data theft.
4) APT41 (Winnti Group): A Chinese cyber espionage group known for both state-sponsored and financially motivated activities, targeting a wide range of industries.

On similar lines, aesthetic value of beauty in nature holds a profound significance, contributing to various aspects of human experience. Now as humans are part of nature, albeit an overpopulating overpolluting part of nature, still humans are part of nature, and just as we appreciate beauty in nature, appreciating beauty in humans is infact a part of appreciating beauty in nature. As Shakespeare nicely explains it in 'Hamlet', "What a piece of worke is a man! How Noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In forme and mouing how expresse and admirable! In Action, how like an Angel in apprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals....('man' here means both man and woman, as Hamlet clarifies in end by saying 'man..nor woman').."
Beauty aesthetic value plays a crucial role in movies, TV, and sports, contributing significantly beyond just hardwork and talent, infact beauty is part of the talent that requires hardwork to mainatin. Here's how the aesthetic value of beauty impacts these visual industries. Let me explain:
1) Visual Appeal and Immersion: In movies, TV shows, fashion and sports beauty aesthetics enhance the visual appeal and immersive experience for the audience. The intricate makeup techniques, costumes, and set designs contribute to creating vibrant and captivating visuals, enriching the overall storytelling. Example: #WilliamShatner is better for #StarTrek than #SonequaMartinGreen.

2) Character Portrayal and Narrative Enrichment: The aesthetic choices in portraying characters through makeup, costumes, and hairstyles add depth and authenticity to the narrative. These visual elements help create believable characters and enrich the storytelling experience for the viewers. Example: #JonStewart is a better for #DailyShow Comedy Central, than #TrevorNoah.

3) Influence on Viewer Engagement: Beauty aesthetics not only capture attention but also influence viewer engagement. The aesthetic beauty in sports, for example, can enhance the excitement and emotional connection of the spectators with the performance or event. Example: #SteffiGraf and #RogerFederer better for tennis, than #SerenaWilliams and #RafaelNadal.

4) Fashion and Style Inspiration: The beauty aesthetic in movies, TV, and sports often serves as a source of fashion and style inspiration. Iconic looks and trends set on screen can influence real-world fashion and beauty trends, demonstrating the interconnectedness between visual media and the fashion industry. Example: #IvankaTrump is better for fashion in saree than #me #ShradhaMukherjee #Shredder #smukher2 in saree.

5) Cultural Significance and Trends: The portrayal of beauty aesthetics in visual media reflects cultural norms, historical contexts, and societal trends. Example: #JeffreyHunter and #MaxVonSydow better for portraying #JesusChrist than #JonathanRoumie.
