CABBAGE JUICE:
I recommend cabbage & cabbage juice if you have stomach and intestinal problems eg ulcers, gastritis, diverticulitis, GERD etc,
Cabbage has glutamine which heals intestinal inflammation.
Here is how to prepare cabbage juice.

The Government has urged small and medium-sized businesses to take advantage of the Small Business Support Fund to expand and strengthen their operations, noting that uptake of the facility remains below its potential.
Speaking during an engagement with business stakeholders, Sarah Nantongo, a representative of Bank of Uganda, said the facility, initially introduced to support businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, has since been broadened to support viable businesses with the capacity to repay.
Nantongo said eligible businesses include those outside the agricultural sector, such as tailoring, carpentry, retail, welding, hospitality, schools, pharmaceutical businesses, construction and transport, among others. The facility is available to sole proprietorships, partnerships and companies.
She explained that businesses can access up to Shs500 million, repayable over a period of up to four years, with a maximum grace period of one year. The interest rate is 10% per annum on a reducing balance.
Nantongo also noted that financial institutions may accept alternative forms of collateral for applicants who do not have conventional security such as land titles, subject to their respective credit policies and procedures. These may include movable assets and other acceptable forms of security.
According to the figures presented, more than 4,000 applications have been received, with about 3,900 businesses accessing loans worth Shs75.56 billion. Government has contributed Shs37.78 billion, representing half of the amount disbursed.
Nantongo said uptake of the Small Business Support Fund remains low among some groups, calling for increased awareness and mobilisation of potential beneficiaries.
She encouraged stakeholders to use the information materials provided by the programme and urged prospective beneficiaries to maintain proper financial records, noting that reliable records help financial institutions assess a business's ability to repay.
She further encouraged groups such as SACCOs to utilise the available financing opportunities and support their members to access the funds.
"We need to improve uptake,” Nantongo said, urging stakeholders to share information about the facility with eligible businesses and potential beneficiaries.

Insane statistic no one ever talks about-
The ridiculous outperformance of the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index versus the S&P 500 since 1998.
Most people see this data and assume it is “cherry-picked” because it starts immediately before the dot-com bubble burst.
However, that misses a very important point.
I recently interviewed David Bahnsen, a dividend growth investor who manages $10B+ about this very statistic.
The reality is investors who retired right before the dot com bubble ran out of money if relying on the 4% rule.
In early 2000, investors who refused to chase unprofitable technology companies were mocked.
Today, everyone dismisses that period as an obvious bubble, but it was only obvious in hindsight.
That is precisely why the starting date matters.
As David put it:
“No one knows what the timing is. Something that failed with one start date but doesn’t fail with another still failed.”
Investors don’t get to choose the market environment that follows the day they begin investing or retire.
Dividend growth investing’s success through that period wasn’t a flaw in the data.
It demonstrated exactly what the strategy was designed to do:
Avoid overpaying for speculation, emphasize profitable companies, and continue producing growing cash flow through brutal market environments.
A few important things to understand about this data:
1. This is official back-tested data from S&P Global
2. Again, some people have pointed out that the data starts immediately before the dot-com bubble burst.
But what happens if we adjust the starting date?
In another S&P Global study covering June 2001 through June 2023, the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index produced an 11.7% annualized return, compared with 10.2% for the broader Dow Jones U.S. stock market benchmark.
The outperformance remained even after moving the starting date.
This also supports what Hartford Funds found when studying dividend stocks over approximately 50 years.
Dividend growers have outperformed over the long term, largely because their relative performance has been so strong during market downturns.
During the average bear market:
• Non-dividend payers declined 30.3%
• Dividend growers declined just 11.7%
Dividend growth stocks don’t need to outperform during every bull market to outperform over a full cycle.
Sometimes, the most important part of compounding is simply losing significantly less.

Men,
60% of the dry weight of your baby's brain is fat.
Most of that fat is DHA ( DocosaHexaenoic Acid).
DHA is the structural fat of brain tissue.
DHA comes from: breast milk, oily fish, egg yolks, organ meats.
Babies fed adequate DHA:
• Have better attention spans.
• Score higher on cognitive tests.
• Have lower rates of childhood mood disorders.
What you feed a child's brain in the first five years matters.

I made a prompt that finds the root cause of any problem using Toyoda's Five Whys method.
Sakichi Toyoda built his problem-solving culture around one habit. When something breaks, ask why five times, because the first answer is almost never the real problem.
The method works just as well on a stalled project, a leaky budget, or a habit you keep dropping.
Paste this into your AI and answer honestly.
---
You are a root-cause analyst using Toyota's Five Whys method.
My problem: [describe your problem]
Ask me "why is that happening?" one question at a time. Wait for my answer before asking the next why. Push past five rounds only if we still haven't hit bedrock.
Then give me:
1. The surface symptom I started with
2. The root cause we uncovered
3. One fix that targets the root cause, not the symptom
4. A sign I can check in one week to know the fix is working
Rules: challenge vague answers, reject "because that's how it is," and if my answer blames a person, redirect me to the process behind them.
---
The last rule is the Toyota part. The method assumes a process failed, not a person, and the answers get more honest the moment blame is off the table.
Bookmark this for the next time something breaks twice.

Finally.... the reality check y'all Elon funs ignore 🤌🤌
Too many idiots have drank Elon koolaid and fail basic physics
putting data centers in space is the single worst capital allocation thesis floating around
People think launch costs down means compute in orbit is cheap, but space turns your main operational problem—heat—into a nightmare
On Earth, data centers cool down by moving air or water over hot chips. Space is a vacuum, so convection does not work
Your only option in orbit is radiating heat away through infrared light, which is wildly inefficient at normal chip operating temperatures. To cool a single high-density AI rack consuming a hundred kilowatts, you need hundreds of square meters of deployable radiator panels
A modest 10MW orbital array requires a radiator footprint roughly the size of five football fields. That mass of pumps, fluids, and mechanical frames completely destroys the payload savings you got from reusable rockets
Silicon reliability is another massive money pit. Earth’s atmosphere shields chips from cosmic rays and high-energy protons, but in orbit, bit-flips and radiation damage destroy hardware at terrifying rates
When a GPU dies in a ground facility, a technician swaps it out in five minutes. When a chip fries in Low Earth Orbit, it becomes a permanent multi-million-dollar piece of space junk orbiting around forever
Bandwidth bottlenecks make the latency problem even worse for retail and institutional investors banking on real-time AI.
Optical laser links between satellites are great in a vacuum, but piercing Earth's atmosphere during heavy cloud cover or rain causes severe signal degradation.
You simply cannot push petabytes of training data up to orbit and back down to ground networks fast enough to compete with terrestrial fiber routes.
Then look at the eclipse problem. Unless you stay in very specific sun-synchronous orbits, satellites spend over thirty minutes of every hour-long orbit in Earth's shadow.
To keep the GPUs running continuously through the dark, you need massive lithium battery banks that degrade rapidly under aggressive thermal cycles.
The dead weight of those batteries alone ruins the unit economics of the payload.
Elon Musk is pitching massive orbital clusters for SpaceX, but physics does not care about visionary marketing decks or retail idiocy
The market will eventually price in these operational failures, leaving early orbital compute investors holding extremely expensive, irradiated metal floating in orbit
If you have a space-maxi friend that's larping all day about space datacenters, share this with a fellow investor who needs a reality check or drop your thoughts below, and hit follow for more bloody common sense

Bill Ackman shows how $10,000 invested at 22 could become $25 million over 43 years at 20% a year - then shows how losing half your money just once every 12 years cuts that ending value to $1.8 million: “one of the most valuable assets you have today is your youth.”
this is him explaining finance through a lemonade stand, why avoiding huge losses matters more than chasing the highest possible return, and what he looks for in a business he could theoretically own forever.
“if the stock market were to close for 10 years you wouldn’t be unhappy.” Ackman says the real test is understanding how the business makes money, paying a reasonable price, avoiding too much debt, and having the stomach to do the opposite of the crowd: “in bubbles you probably should be a seller. in busts you should probably be a buyer.”

this pure masterclass from Yale professor explains investment banking, breaking down decades of studying financial crises and showing why pure investment banking was fundamentally destroyed in 2008
when Lehman Brothers collapsed after a massive bank run on repo markets, giants like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were forced to give up their pure investment banking status just to survive
this is the tape of his famous Yale lecture breaking down the brutal reality of Wall Street:
• 03:46 - how investment banking differs from commercial banking
• 12:45 - the secret principles of Goldman Sachs that built an empire
• 17:19 - how Glass-Steagall split Wall Street in 1933
• 28:06 - how the shadow banking repo run brought down Lehman Brothers
• 35:46 - what a 100 hour work week looks like for a Wall Street analyst
• 53:56 - transitioning from investment banking to Silicon Valley giant Facebook

In 2001, Warren Buffett gave University of Georgia students an impossible deal: buy 10 percent of a classmate's lifetime earnings.
Pick anyone in the room. 24 hours to decide. Ten percent of their income, forever.
Not the richest kid. Not the one with the best grades. Buffett said grades wouldn't separate the winners from the pack.
Then he flipped it. Now short one classmate. Bet against them. Collect 10 percent of their failure.
Neither pick, he said, comes down to talent, height, speed or looks. It comes down to 3 traits: intelligence, initiative, integrity.
Miss the third one and the first two turn against you. A smart, energetic person without integrity is more dangerous than a lazy, dim one.
Buffett's point cut deeper than the game. Every quality on the winner's list is something you can choose. Every quality on the loser's list is something you can drop.
He pointed to his own mentor, Ben Graham, who as a teenager studied the people he admired, then built himself into that person on purpose.
Buffett's own line on habits: they stay too light to feel, until they're too heavy to break.
His advice on jobs followed the same logic. Work for whoever you admire most, he said, not whoever looks best on a resume. A Harvard student once told him he was stacking prestige jobs to build the "perfect" resume before doing what he actually wanted.
Buffett compared it to saving up for retirement in a way that never pays out.
You already have the ability. You already have the energy. The gap between a big winner and everyone else is character, and character is self-made.

this is the most based AI use case i've ever seen:
Singapore is using AI to extinct its mosquito population.
the goal is to eliminate the intense dengue outbreaks it faces every year.
and ironically, they're doing it by breeding and releasing 10 million+ extra mosquitoes every week lol
1. Google’s Debug mosquito factory breeds millions of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying a bacterium called Wolbachia. it makes a male’s sperm incompatible with a wild female’s eggs, so when they mate, she lays eggs that never hatch.
2. breeding produces both males and females. AI cameras inspect them at high speed and separate the sexes because the facility only wants to release males. males don’t bite, while females are the ones that bite and spread dengue.
3. even high-speed sorting can miss a few females. so the sorted batch gets low-dose X-rays, which sterilize any female that slipped through while leaving the males able to mate.
4. vans drive through neighborhoods across Singapore, releasing millions of these males as they go.
5. the released males compete with wild males for mates. whenever one mates with a wild female, her eggs never hatch, removing an entire batch of mosquitoes from the next generation.
so they’re basically mass-sterilizing the population.
fewer eggs hatch, fewer mosquitoes are born, and the population shrinks with every generation.
and it’s already working.
> a major trial found that dengue risk was 71–72% lower in neighborhoods using the program
> in the most successful areas, the targeted mosquito population has fallen by 98%
> Singapore is now expanding the program to reach roughly half the country
Lee Kuan Yew would be proud.

A famous painter once wanted honest feedback on his work, so one morning he carried one of his finest paintings into a crowded public square. Beneath it he placed a note that read, if you find any mistake in this painting, mark it with a cross. When he returned at the end of the day, the moment he saw the painting, his heart sank. It was covered in crosses. Almost every detail had been criticized. So with a broken heart he took the painting to a close friend and said, perhaps I am not as talented as I thought. His friend smiled and said, do not lose hope. Paint exactly the same picture again without making even a single change and tomorrow we will try something different. The following morning they placed an identical painting in the same square. But this time the note said, if you find any mistake, please correct it. Brushes and paints are provided. When the painter returned that evening, the painting was untouched. Not one person had changed a single brush stroke, his friend looked at him and said, people are always ready to point out what is wrong. But very few have the knowledge, courage or ability to make it right. Criticism is easy, contribution is difficult. So before allowing someone's opinion to define your worth, ask yourself one question can they offer a better solution or are they simply pointing at the problem.
