Vegan Easy🌱 Thinking about going vegan, but not sure where to start?
We’ve put together 5 simple tips to help you transition with ease:
🔹 1. Be Open-Minded & Jump Right In!
Make the decision and give it a go! Try a 30-day vegan challenge to get started, such as the free 30 Day Vegan Easy Challenge
👉 https://veganeasy.org/challenge, it’s a great way to learn the basics while having support along the way.
🔹 2. Stock Up on the Basics
A well-stocked pantry makes life easier. Think grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and plenty of fresh fruit and veg.
🔹 3. Keep It Simple
Start with easy meals and learn a little about plant-based nutrition so you feel confident and nourished.
🔹 4. Be Kind to Yourself & Keep Learning
Nobody’s perfect. If you slip up, that’s okay – just keep moving forward and enjoy the journey. 💚
🔹 5. Find Your Community & Explore Vegan Life
Surround yourself with people who inspire you. Support makes all the difference!

Imaging Ultraweak Photon Emission from Living and Dead Mice and from Plants under Stress
The phenomenon of biological ultraweak photon emission (UPE), that is, extremely low-intensity emission (10–103 photons cm–2 s–1) in the spectral range of 200–1000 nm, has been observed in all living systems that have been examined. Here, we report experiments that exemplify the ability of novel imaging systems to detect variations in UPE for a set of physiologically important scenarios. We use electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras to capture single visible-wavelength photons with low noise and quantum efficiencies higher than 90%. Our investigation reveals significant contrast between the UPE from live vs dead mice. In plants, we observed that an increase in the temperature and injuries both caused an increase in UPE intensity. Moreover, chemical treatments modified the UPE emission characteristics of plants, particularly the application of a local anesthetic (benzocaine) to injury, which showed the highest emission among the compounds tested. As a result, UPE imaging provides the possibility of non-invasive label-free imaging of vitality in animals and the responses of plants to stress.

Dean Burnett (that brains guy)Managed to disable the Copilot AI 'assistant' on MS Word. Wasn't too hard, although we lost 3 men on the bridge of the swinging blades, and that fifth riddle in front of the immortal guard who sees only truth was a bit tricky.
I stopped posting my #LinkedIn puzzle results on LinkedIn after someone quite rightly pointed out that it’s a form of spam in the inboxes of my two thousand connections.
I am, however, quite pleased that I completed all five of today’s puzzles in less than four minutes.
