Mangos can infect you with a deadly virus

Doctors raise alarm over Marburg fever. An epidemic of a deadly infection with an 88% mortality rate has erupted in Africa, and there simply is no cure for the disease. Doctors recommend carefully inspecting tropical fruits you buy - if the product is imported from a country where an outbreak of the infection has been reported, it's better to avoid it. The symptoms of the disease are very similar to a common cold, so this autumn it's advised not to self-medicate.

Steps to Releasing Someone Else's Negative Energy

Not everyone who constantly demands your support loves you. You also have your own purpose on Earth. And it is not to live someone else's life. Remember that you cannot change the world alone, make it more humane. You are not able to help everyone. Sometimes the best thing you can do is take care of yourself.

Be careful about whom you invite into your life

Be careful when choosing those you invite into your life. Your body, your mind, and your immediate environment are your temple. Who do you want to invite into it? Is it an open invitation? Do people wipe their feet before entering? Or do they come to you only to shed the dirt from their soul? In Brazil, there is a slang word folgado. It can be translated as 'free,' but also as 'lazy.' But in fact, it sounds like 'freeloader.' 'Freeloaders' are people whose lifestyle implies that they will live at the expense of others. If you give such a person a 'piece of bread' once, they will stay and keep asking for more pieces as long as you have 'bread.' And when it's gone, the 'freeloader' will find a new victim. In general, don't let people into your life who only take something from you but give you nothing in return.

Ignore Energy Vampires

Stop paying attention. People who feed off the energy of others are constantly in search of new "victims." Energy vampires can indeed 'drain' life from you, so stay alert! Some people use people like you as a "pit-stop," an opportunity to recharge their batteries. "Eager ears" are like the Holy Grail for them. If a vampire finds them on your head, pretend to listen, but deliberately try to let everything go in one ear and out the other. And just nod. Don't be afraid to seem rude. Learn to love yourself enough to value your time and the purity of your consciousness. If someone pesters you with problems you don't care about, have the courage to simply stand up and say you can't listen to them right now. Defend yourself against energetic toxins.

Breathe in Nature

Breathe in nature. If you need time to reflect, relax, and become aware of some things, try spending it in nature or at least in a park. When walking, focus on your breathing. This will improve blood flow to your brain and allow you to relax. Walking is the best way to clear your head. Only upon returning to the office, home, or previous company, decisively reject dialogues with those who want to clutter your mind again.

Take Full Responsibility

Take 100-percent responsibility for your thoughts and emotions. Take full responsibility for what happens in your mind. The universe sends you encounters with thousands of people to test you. Your task is to select only those who positively influence your perception of life. You are not a victim. And no one has the right to enslave your mind, your soul, or your free will. Consciously make the choice: who will govern your consciousness - you or others? This is not as simple a question as it seems. Think carefully about it. Consider what people and situations give you energy to live? You deserve to spend time only with those who inspire and uplift you. And remember: any love for others begins with love for yourself. You deserve happiness and peace. Just start saying "No" more often. Only then will you learn to manage your energy state.

Retrograde Jupiter: A Time for Reset

From October 9, 2024, to February 4, 2025, Jupiter is in retrograde motion. In astrology, retrograde planets don't merely slow our path—they offer us important lessons and moments to reset. It's a time to pause, reflect, and reconsider everything that has been gathered and learned in the past months. Jupiter, the planet of luck, wisdom, and expansion, reminds us of the importance of looking within ourselves. Allow yourself to slow down and hear your inner truth: What has changed in your perspectives? How have your feelings and actions transformed your reality? What will retrograde Jupiter bring us? This retrograde calls us to discern what from what we've collected is worth keeping and what it's time to let go. Less noise—more awareness. This is an invitation for a dialogue with oneself. It's time to ask important questions, reconsider beliefs, and listen to your intuition. What do you want to take with you into the future, and what has already served its purpose?

Harvard Students Add Facial Recognition to Smart Glasses

Students from Harvard have added facial recognition to smart glasses and taught them to 'recognize' passersby. The algorithm finds a person in social networks and leaked databases in seconds, showing the name, address, phone number, place of work, and more. All information is sent to the smartphone, but if the glasses had their own display, it would be displayed directly on it. According to the students, with this project they wanted to show that modern technologies allow you to learn a lot about you literally at a glance. They will not be making their software publicly available.
