Related? Is 45 minutes really the longest anyone can stay in a perfectly silent room?
Many stories have circulated claiming the longest anyone has stayed in an ultra-quiet anechoic chamber is 45 minutes, the reason being any longer would drive you insane. To me this sounded like unsubstantiated rubbish, like the claim the Great Wall is the only manmade structure visible from space. So Veritasium puts his own psyche on the line, subjecting himself to over an hour of the most intense quiet on Earth. No, this was not THE quietest room on Earth (-9dB) but it is one of the quietest, and the truth is once you put a person inside, they are by far the loudest thing in there so the sound rating of the room is irrelevant.

Dr. Rima Truth Reports
HOW TO BECOME AN UNPERSON IN
OUR BRAVE NEW PC WORLD
Privatizing Tyranny: Mind Control for Profit
It’s Not Just Jails and Vax Mandates Being Privatized
Assert your Informed Consent Right here:
Australia:
Dr. Rima wrote one of her passionate replies to a planted pro-vaccination story that appeared out of Australia. The article was bemoaning a pregnant woman who was not vaccinated during pregnancy for Whooping Cough passing the disease on to her newborn.
You can read Dr. Rima’s statement here:
In summary she says that there have been no scientific studies of what happens when the vaccine is given to pregnant women, a fact that is revealed in the vaccine package insert. Anyone who promotes use of that vaccine with pregnant women is promoting an “off label” use for which there is no scientific justification — for which there is no known adverse reaction profile. Thus Dr. Rima says,
“Serious complications from the vaccine are not, as presented, rare. They are quite common and, if you consider the metal, excitotoxins, sterilizants, formaldehyde and other components, the logic of injecting these materials directly into the body, bypassing the natural protective barriers of lungs, mucosa and gut is absent while the dangers are obvious.”
More on how vaccine reactions are not all that rare here:
So what happened after Dr. Rima posted her comments? First the comment disappeared and then the comment to which she was responding disappeared. Once again it seems we’ve transgressed the never-defined “community standards” of an online control system.
This is not the first time.
A couple weeks ago we got an email from GoFundMe telling us we had transgressed their proprietary, and thus not to be revealed to us, “community standards” and last year Dr. Rima got banned by the several hundred papers and outlets of the Murdock Media Empire as well as that one-time bastion of free speech, The Guardian. The Guardian had announced a policy of not allowing vaccine choice advocates access to their media.
Now before you Conservatives get all smug about how a Left Publication like The Guardian does not adhere to real free speech standards, you ought to know that just about the same time in 2015 Reason magazine was also toying with the notion that people who expressed conscientious objection to vaccination should not be given a forum on Reason. Little reason left in Reason.
Everyone knows about how Wikipedia, Google, Twitter and Facebook censor dissident communications. It’s become a common joke… of the gallows humor variety. Less well known are the rolls of entitles such as SpamHaus that defines what words are “spam” words… you know, words like “Free” as in “Freedom”.
We see how expression is controlled by private companies and well-placed non-governmental organizations through their control of the media. What we don’t often notice is how other aspects of the control apparatus are also being privatized.
Vaccination propaganda, including a series of Big Lies — that that vax reactions are only  that vax are safety test that vax are efficacy test that vax clinical studies are done by disinterested scientists — has been used to implement government policies that the public clearly opposes.
Here is how the system works:
A drug company’s salaried researchers concoct a vaccine from various noxious ingredients, including aborted fetus, aluminum, mercury, foreign proteins, formaldehyde, etc, etc…
The drug company arranges for an initial clinical study where the new vax is compared to another vax (usually one of the most toxic) or to straight Thimerosal not against a true placebo.
The clinical trial results as interpreted by the company are submitted to the FDA. Anyone who dies is deleted from the study results (“they did not finish the study”), serious adverse events are likewise dropped as often as possible for similar “reasons”. Anticipated effectiveness numbers are generated by the company from these results or from nothing atall. Pricing levels are presented.
FDA rubber-stamps the data provided (80% of FDA funding comes from drug company fees).
After FDA approval of the vax as a drug the CDC, a branch of FDA, considers recommending the vax.
The CDC ACIP committee, where many members have conflicts of interest, recommends the vax (in one infamous example “ethicist” Paul Offitt made tens of millions of dollars “recommending” a vaccine in which he had
no, he was not required to recuse himself).
Now things get interesting…. because various private actors, such as private prison companies, hospitals and other large employers, join state governments in multiplying vaccine mandates. At the present time we are receiving more and more communications from nurses and others who are being compelled to receive vaccines under threat of loss of livelihood. The Federal Government “recommendation” is turned into private company or state mandates.
This spreading-around of the ‘responsibility’ for the mandates is meant to fragment opposition and increase the cost of asserting our right of Informed Consent. It is meant to chill our expressive association rights.
Note though, much of the restrictions are being imposed by private actors. In every case, the issue is communication and the right to express Informed Consent. Whether we are dealing with Dr. Rima being blocked or a nurse being coerced, we are seeing the imposition of restrictions on communication rights “under color of law” by various public and private actors. The phrase “under color of law” comes from the Civil Rights Statutes and describes acting with apparent legal authority, but in a discriminatory manner.
When private institutions choose to use their government-granted corporate privilege to restrict people’[s expressive association rights, they are acting as governments and must adhere to the strict limitations placed on government in all civilized nations.
This includes strict adherence to the law of Informed Consent. As the President of the Natural Solutions Foundation, Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.) states, “Informed Consent is the defining issue of the 21st Century.”
It has been argued that wars have consequences. One of the consequences of World War II was that the international humanitarian law of Informed Consent was codified (by American legal scholars as part of the Nuremburg Trials and is now known as the Nuremburg Code) and continues binding on all nations.
What is being done in Australia, where families are being given the horrific choice of either submitting their children to unlimited vaccination or losing their access to public assistance, or in California where Gov. Jerry Brownshirt signed S277 that conditions a child’s state-constitution-guaranteed “free public education” on receiving certain shots. The traditional religious and philosophical conscientious objections to vaccination were abolished.
But the right to Informed Consent cannot be abolished by either a local government like California or a nation-state like Australia (or the US). It is an international humanitarian right not subject to being abolished by governments. See the UN Bioethics Declaration*.
So what does this have to do with Dr. Rima being censored by Murdock, The Guardian, GoFundMe and Google?
It’s all about how private, quasi-government and government actors are combining together in the continued privatization of coercion through censorship and mandates.
Informed Consent, in a world where all the instruments of communication are carefully controlled through “political correctness” and similar non-objective standards, is the central right we must assert to regain – and retain — our absolute personal sovereignty over our own bodies and minds.

February4,
2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star- Jeremy
professional basketball players, Jeremy Lin’s background is not
typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few
players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.
But when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he
belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years
of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for
basketball.
enjoyment to basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin’s father
moved to U.S.,his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on
this love of baskeball to his son,introducing him to the game at
the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing
basketball for fun.
school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA.When he applied for
college,he was not offered a single sports scholarship.
However,after his admission to Harvard ,he was offered a place on
its college basketball team.
During Lin’s
time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up.He scored
1,482 points,making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League

invited to play in the NBA Summer League.He played well and ended
up eagerly singning a contract with the Golden State

&& Lockers(储物柜)have
been the symbol of American high school for decades. But walk down

&& Officials from
schools that have listed several benefits:
less noise,
less delay and an increased sense of safety.
&& “It’s all to create
an environment that’s student-friendly”, said Ronnie McGehee, chief
official of the Madison County School district.
Getting rid
of lockers can also cut hundreds of thousands in construction
costs. Madison County saved $200,000by not including lockers in the
new high school, Mc Gehee said.
It is also
believed that removing lockers could help prevent school
violence.”Lockers give kids a place to hide things”, said Mike
Nelson, founder of a safety- training group. Nelson believes that
some school shootings and other incidents could have been prevented
if there had been no lockers.
Andrew Booth, a 10th-grader at Gemantown High, said there are some
disadvantages of not having a locker. “ It can make your book bag
really heavy”, he said . The 16-year-old has four textbooks “plus
notebooks and a binder(活页夹)” to carry to school each
He said some
teachers have shelves at the back of the classroom on which
students can leave their bags. Others provide an extra set of
textbooks in the classroom, so students don’t have to carry books
from home.
architect Pestr Lippman said schools will have to address such
concerns and find ways to give studets a “sense of space” “If you
are carrying books around, it does limit your flexibility in the
classrooms,” he said.
Lippman said
he would like to see schools starting to use the new free space to
provide less structured learning opprtunities for students, in
cluding gathering areas and learning centers. “If you think about a
school with just rows of lockers-there’s nowhere for learning
opportunities in that”, he said.

for you to thelp you feel better in school.”
If a boy is
having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The
teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his
abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other
children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A
teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing
that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next
to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in
activities, etc.
things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your
child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends
to meals and then serve the disches they consider” When you plan
trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with
whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can
do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him
out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real
friendship of his own.

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答案卡相应的位置上（请注意每个小题后面的词数要求）。
［1］Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every
day. “ I was a clothes addict”. He jokes. “I used to carry a fresh
suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled”.
Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt to
the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder
than ever”. David says, “and I need to feel
comfortable”.
[2]More and
more companies are allowing their office workers
in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear
has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their
employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as
“dress-down
riday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a
&week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.”
Said business consultant Maisly Jones.
[3]Why have
so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual
clothes?One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new
employees if it has a casual dress code. “Many youn people don’t
want to dress up for work”, says the owner of a software company,
“so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress
code”. Another reason is that people seem happier and more
productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study 85
percet of employers said that they believe that casual dress
improves employee motivation. Only 4 percent of employers said that
casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters
of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps
them save money. “ Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one
every day”, one person said”, For the same amount of money, you can
buy a lot more casual clothes”.

One possible
Every summer
vacation witnesses a series of camps organized by different
instituions, such as English camps, weight-losing camps, and so on,
which abundantly draws/ attracts parents’attention.
The reasons
behind can be concluded as follows. To begin with, summer is
absolutely a right time for children to broaden their horizons and
strengthen their basis of different subjects. Meanwhile, in some
parents’ opinion, it is far better to keep their chidren occupied
than to leave them at home having nothing to do.
As far as I
am concerned, mostly the participation of summer camps does benefit
children.However, there is no need for all parents to copy
something blindly. They might as well cope with it sensibly.
Otherwise, negative effects won’t be avoided in terms of time,
study habit, or growth.

Many of these will soon be in charge of the nation. Naturally their
ideas are important to everyone in the country, and it is necessary
for older people to understand what they think and feel.
students today have strong opinions on what is right and what is
wrong. They are deeply interested in making beeter for everyone,
especially for those who have not been given a fair chance before
now. They see much about what is wrong in the lives of their
parents. It is hard for them to see what is right and good in
American families. I think your country may be meeting with such
problems, too.
