Jaywalking Was a Crime in Virginia for 100 Years... Until 2021
What Is Jaywalking & Why Is It Being Decriminalized in Virginia? Jaywalking simply is when a pedestrian crosses a street or roadway outside of a suitable crossing point or crosswalk. The laws behind Jaywalking vary quite a lot between jurisdictions.

Consciousness is attached to MATTER, consciousness controls matter, man is conscious, stone is not conscious, does robot also have consciousness? Is consciousness a neuron?
In my cognitive world, matter determines consciousness, and then consciousness determines matter, and then matter determines consciousness...... And so on and so on, without beginning or ending. Whether it is matter or consciousness, in different stages of connotation or have different. So in this sense, materialism is not wrong, it can find its own starting point. Idealism is not wrong, it can find its own starting point. In fact, it is only because of the difference in the starting point that a series of cognitive differences are triggered. Trying to decide which came first is like trying to decide which came first. As far as the chicken or the egg is concerned, it can also be studied as an academic problem. It's just that in terms of the evolutionary history of the chicken, its ancestors were not the same as today's, and could not even be called chickens or eggs. In the same way, consciousness and matter go back in the cycle, and their original form is not the same as the present one, so what is their original form? Definition of matter: the smallest unit that constitutes an object. Matter can be elements, elementary particles, or smaller objects. Because the smallest unit means a point mass, it's called a matter. In other words, in the composition of the body, the body is no longer segmented, is called matter. However, the granularity of the segmentation is mainly to satisfy the need, but also limited by the extent of our understanding of exploring the micro world. No matter what scale of objects, whether constituted or constituted objects, all conform to "the objective reality that does not depend on people's consciousness and can be reflected by people's consciousness". Definition of structure: the relationship (mainly the spatial and temporal position) between the materials that make up an object. When an object interacts with other objects in the outside world, its constituent substance remains unchanged, its structure changes, and its function shows. For example, a stone that can knock other stones apart exhibits an elastic function that is caused by molecular forces resulting from changes in the microstructure between its constituent materials. Another example is the neural network, where the substance refers to neurons and the structure refers to the network structure between neurons. Different network structures represent different processing logic, so that the neural network will produce different operation results and show different functions externally. Matter and structure are two sides of a body, and cannot exist in isolation from each other. Matter cannot do without structure, because matter itself is also a kind of object, the smallest unit of object divided according to the functional structure, and it also has a more microscopic material structure. Likewise, structure requires matter. If there is no matter, there can be no relationship between matter. Therefore, matter and structure can be vividly expressed in Tai Chi: one reality and one emptiness, one static movement, interdependent, mutual implication, mutual transformation, there is no question of who is the primary nature and who is the secondary nature. As for mind, strictly speaking it is a function, a complex function of a very, very complex material structure in operation, currently represented by the neural network structure of adult higher organisms (human). Different people, because of the different upbringing environment, experience, the structure of the neural network will be different. When processing information, it will produce different results, so as to show different psychology, consciousness, emotion, thinking and so on. These performances are collectively called spirit. "Spirit is the projection and reflection of matter" is a relatively general explanation given in the past when cognition is insufficient, then a more accurate and approximate description should be "cognition is the projection and reaction of things". When it comes to a certain person, man himself is an objective thing, an objective thing's cognition of other things, and can be figuratively likened to the "projection and reflection" of things. (Note: a thing is a description of the evolution process of an object in a period of time. Compared with an object, a time attribute is added, extending from static to dynamic.) So, how does one thing know another thing?

What is consciousness and self-awareness? Self-consciousness can be copied into another body like a body without consciousness, right?
Today's philosophy, psychology and neuroscience do not have a complete and accepted theory of "self-consciousness", but are still in a situation of contention. This is my personal opinion and any discussion is welcome.

CRED and other institutions release reports and make recommendations for future disaster reduction work.
On March 12, 2015, the World Health Organization Research Centre for disaster Epidemiology (CRED), University College London (UCL), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations International Strategy for disaster reduction (UNISDR) released a report entitled "Human costs of Natural disasters from a Global Perspective" (The Human Cost of Natural Disasters: A Global Perspective). This paper analyzes the trends and characteristics of the impact of global natural disasters on human beings and economy in the past 20 years (1994-2013), and analyzes the reasons for the differences in disaster impacts around the world. based on the results of the analysis, some suggestions for raising awareness of disaster reduction and strengthening disaster reduction actions are put forward.

Democracy is Dead
Democracy in Britain has been dying for some time, however over the past few days as some of us are forced into mourning, it is clear that democracy is officially dead. It all started with a 22-year-old woman in Edinburgh who has been arrested for holding a sign that reads: 'F*** Imperialism - Abolish the Monarchy,' and as you can imagine it has sparked great debates online. The recent death of Queen Elizabeth has opened up the idea of removing the monarchy altogether. Charles is unpopular, Camilia even more, and Andrew even greater. I recently wrote an article about it which you can read here: Saying Goodbye to the Crown.

Help Wanted For Hire & Etc.
I am requesting more solos than anything; I will keep my options open for new chances and opportunities. I like meeting and working with new straight working people for entertainment; festivals; and community events. I needed your invite with a somewhat small advance to help me get started. I know I can move around and make a greater progress with the standard necessary resources accordingly and for the average.

The Sex Life of Mata Hari
She Came, She Danced, She Mesmerized At the turn of the century a young, exotic striptease dancer was mesmerizing Europe with her titillating eastern-inspired dances. She called herself Mata Hari (“eye of the dawn” in the Malay language).

Iron Lungs and Polio: Two People Remain in the U.S. That Rely on Iron Lungs to Breathe
Twelve thousand people in the U.S. with paralytic polio used iron lungs to help them breathe in 1959. By 2004 it was 39. Today just two people in the U.S. remain reliant on the large breathing machines.

Mindfulness and the ADHD Brain
Mindfulness Science I'm a skeptic. I like concrete, measurable results, which is why for YEARS after I started yoga, it was still just exercise to me. That was it. Don't talk to me about spirit, meditation, or expanding my consciousness. No thank you! I'll do my sun salutations and go, because I can SEE the results those have on my arms, legs and abdomen, thank you very much!
