Politische Systeme sind sterblich. Das gilt auch für Demokratien. Typischerweise fallen sie dadurch, dass in Wahlen Demokratiegegner immer stärker werden, um am Ende mit den Mitteln der Demokratie die Demokratie aus den Angeln zu heben.
Political systems are mortal. This also applies to democracies. They typically fall because opponents of democracy become increasingly stronger in elections, only to ultimately use the means of democracy to unhinge democracy.
Norbert Lammert (*1948), German politician

The Potential of the Ketogenic Diet for Treating Epilepsy
Tumblr media
The integration of metabolic therapeutics such as the ketogenic diet has gained steam since it may enhance neuroprotection or defense against cell injury or death. Studies in animal models at least have demonstrated that the ketogenic diet exerts robust neuroprotective effects, particularly in regions vulnerable to damage during seizures.
By enhancing mitochondrial function, reducing reactive species formation, and activating neuroprotective transcription factors, the ketogenic diet acts as a shield, preserving neuronal integrity and function even in the face of epileptic attacks. In these models, beyond its immediate anti-seizure effects, the ketogenic diet exhibits profound anti-epileptogenic and disease-modifying properties. By delaying the onset of seizures, preventing their development, or reducing their severity, the ketogenic diet disrupts the epileptogenic process at various stages.
Moreover, evidence suggests that a ketogenic diet slows disease progression and may even confer long-lasting benefits. This challenges the notion that epilepsy is an irreversible condition. Notably, a variety of studies suggest that the ketogenic diet offers more than just seizure control, proving effective in alleviating sleep disorders, cognitive deficits, mood disorders like depression and anxiety, and autism spectrum disorders.

Image: "Concrete Jungle" by BoldCat
I cleared my throat and tilted my head to the right, slightly lifting my chin and projecting my voice to the ceiling. It was unnecessary, I knew: the room's microphones would pick up near sub-vocalisation levels of speech, but it was a nervous habit I couldn't seem to break. Despite years doing it, I'd never quite shaken off the unsettling feelings that came from talking with the dead.
"Inspector Smith, beginning Memory Autopsy for deceased #323477 — identified as Mr. Daryn Bright, twenty-six years old at the time of his death approximately fifteen hours ago. Preliminary cause," I said, glancing briefly at the angry, blotchy bruising around his throat, "believed to be strangulation, likely by hand. No other signs of injury present; no DNA evidence under victim's fingernails, no overt signs of struggle. Toxicology came back negative for alcohol, tranquillisers, or other substances. Given the anomalous nature of the murder, victim was referred to Memory for further investigation."
I looked at the four diaphanous apparitions hovering in a semi-circle about ten metres away from me. "Joining me remotely are Constables Hohnke, Sandes, and Johansson, as well as Inspector General Lammerts. Please provide verbal acknowledgement."
"Acknowledged," the four said in unison, communicating from whatever offices they worked out of across the globe. Given the slim window of time in which a Memory Autopsy could be performed, it behooved having facilities set up as local to population centres as was possible. I've never met any of them in person — and realistically, it was likely that I never would.
"Acknowledgement received and logged," I responded. "DELTA, commence cognition revival."
"Initiating revival," replied a tinny, inhuman voice seemingly coming from everywhere all around me. The facility's synthetic intelligence handled almost all aspects of this process, but communing with the dead did require a human touch. A somewhat unique touch, at that: these days we understood the electromagnetic fields radiating around one another and knew more about the invisible communications we'd unknowingly been broadcasting since before humans first figured out how to harness flame. In a less-enlightened era, these were talked about as auras or other pseudo-scientific terms, but now we had actual understanding about the subconscious network humanity had been perpetually jacked into under our noses all along.
But for all our species-level connectedness, people like me were fairly rare; people like me who had varying degrees of control over the nature of what we broadcast — and what signals we received from others. The sort of folks who always know when someone is lying to them, or if something is wrong emotionally when all outward signs seem fine, or cruised by as the life of the party but felt emotionally drained and needed a quiet, dark room away from the silent noise of other minds as soon as they get home.
I closed my eyes as DELTA began the procedure. The already-dim lighting in the refrigerated, sterile room flickered almost imperceptibly, and the walls began to vibrate from a low hum. Electrodes on my temples and wrists tingled slightly as the machinery surrounding me and the corpse were activated.
Everyone had their own process for getting into the right state of mind for an autopsy: I pictured myself falling into a dark ocean backwards and let the void swallow me until my breathing slowed to a steady, calm rhythm.
"Link confirmed," DELTA said after a moment of meditative silence. I opened my eyes and saw the victim's home manifested holographically around me as his last minutes alive were drawn out from the dead grey matter inside his skull.
"Constables, can you confirm that you're seeing the live link?" I asked. Again in unison, the ghostly quartet acknowledged that they were seeing the same thing I was. I gave a short nod to myself and took a deep breath. "DELTA, bring Mr. Bright back to life."
The machines around us shifted pitch and the walls shook with an intensity that would be concerning had I not done this process dozens of times in the past. Then, suddenly, a new ghost manifested in the room: hovering just above the corpse, a projection of Daryn's self-image appeared in front of me.
"Daryn, can you hear me?" I asked the apparition.
"Where am I? I'm very cold," came the response from the same speaker system that DELTA communicated to me through. Daryn wasn't actually alive, of course, and I was merely activating dying synapses firing on borrowed time.
"Daryn, I need you to think of the last thing you can remember. What comes to mind?"
"Where am I?" the corpse repeated, ignoring my question. I frowned to myself, pursing my lips as I looked at the tablet in my lap. DELTA was reading little subconscious activity in the victim's mind: whilst everyone handled their death in their own unique way, with some victims rejecting their final reality quite violently, me asking him to recall his last moments should have surfaced something even if he didn't want to remember anything at all.
Conscious of the small window of time that was available to us, I pressed on. "You've died, Daryn. Someone murdered you, and I need your help to find who did it."
The walls began to shake even worse than before, and for the first time I felt a gnawing sense of unease. "What? No — I'm not dead. I'm right here. I'm right here!" He began repeatedly screaming the last phrase as the high-pitched hum from the equipment nearby threatened to rupture my eardrums.
"DELTA, put him back to sleep," I called out over the noise and his screaming. At once, the din ceased and the projection above the body vanished. My ears rung in the silence.
"DELTA, reset his memory back to the state it was in when he was revived, then bring him back again."
"Confirmed," chirped the facsimile. Seconds later the projection returned.
As did the screaming.
"DELTA, that's enough!" I shouted and once more Mr. Bright was turned off. I looked at the tablet screen and confirmed with my own eyes that even though his mental state had been reset, somehow he retained memory of what I'd told him. I'd never encountered anything like this before.
There was one other tool available to me. It wasn't unusual for a particularly violent death to reject an autopsy — though to this degree was outside of my experience — and a mind could be overridden and directly controlled if a cooperative conversation was beyond the victim. The downside is that doing so would burn out the victim's synapses entirely, so it was a last-ditch tool with a one-time use.
"Well, you saw what happened," I said to my colleagues. "I don't think we have any choice but to use an override."
The flickering apparition of Constable Hohnke frowned. "Are you being too hasty, Smith? Why don't you try interviewing him again." The others nodded and murmured agreement.
I grit my teeth. Every minute this dragged on was another minute that the victim's mind deteriorated and our already-slim chance at getting information out of him was reduced. Nevertheless, I couldn't use the override without a majority vote of everyone present. I instructed DELTA to try to reset his memories and revive him a third time and once more the pained screams of the dead man assaulted my ears.
"Very well," said Hohnke. "I think it's clear that we're not going to get through to him using gentler means."
The Inspector General tutted and shook her head. "Such a waste."
"All in favour?" I asked the group. The vote was unanimous.
"DELTA, initiate memory override. I will assume direct control."
"Initiating override in ten seconds, Inspector Smith."
I closed my eyes again and slowed my breathing to slip back into my trance state. DELTA continued to count down as I followed along in my own head and waited for the connection to begin. When it happened, I felt a surge of electricity through the contacts on my skin and my mind's eye exploded with someone else's memories.
"DELTA, confirm recording," I said in real life. The AI chirped back an affirmative. With my eyes still closed and knowing that what I was seeing was simultaneously projected to the room — and, by extension, my colleagues — I "looked" around.
From the crime-scene photos I'd already viewed, I knew that I was inside Mr. Bright's apartment. There wasn't anything particularly unusual about it, and he lived in what was an averagely boring sort of apartment for single people his age. The dead man, now resurrected to the last minutes of his corporeal existence, sat on the couch reading a book. I squinted at the cover as the book's title shifted into focus — "I, Robot."
Standing in place at the centre of the living room I passed my attention over everything I could see nearby. Who knew what details would prove important, and I knew this recording would be poured over by the other investigators involved in the case. As Daryn continued reading, unaware of my silent presence inside of his mind, a chime went off from an intercom panel in his apartment. Daryn closed his book and walked over to the panel. His body language didn't suggest that he was surprised, so this visitor was expected. I looked at the intercom and focused on the tiny LED screen above the call box, but whomever it was stood too close to the camera to make any identifiable details out. Daryn thumbed a button and a green checkmark appeared on the screen. The visitor moved out of the frame, and Daryn walked down a hallway and out of my view.
Locked in my vantage point in the centre of his living room, I couldn't see where the victim was now. "DELTA, bring me closer to him."
After a second, my perspective shifted and I was standing in a corridor as he walked towards the front door of his flat. Daryn unlocked the door and opened it slightly, leaving it ajar before he returned back to the living room and passed through my projection as if I was invisible. I instructed DELTA to shift my position so that I could both see Daryn and also had line of sight to the front door. Then, I waited for this unknown visitor to show themselves.
It didn't take long. The door creaked open and, much to my surprise, a young woman stepped through the threshold. She was average height, with brown hair pulled up into a tight bun. Attractive enough in a conventional sort of way. She had on a black t-shirt and jeans with heavy black leather boots on her feet. Her stance was confident and assertive — the first word that came to mind was "soldier."
And I had the uneasy feeling that she was somehow staring directly at me.
The woman took several purposeful strides into the apartment, closing and locking the door behind her. Then she turned to face me and there was no doubt about it — somehow, this person knew I was there despite being a disembodied presence within the memory of a dead man.
"Olle. Lovely to meet you, finally. Well, as much of a meeting as this can be."
"How —" I started, confused as to what was going on. The hair on my arms stood on end and my heart started racing with fear.
She held up her hand. "No, don't speak. Our time here is short anyway, but I've heard so much about you. We'll be meeting properly very soon."
The stranger's mouth twisted into a grin that was all teeth and held a feral sort of violence behind it. Then, without warning, she launched herself at me with her hands balled into fists. I flinched and yelled out reflexively as some sort of force slammed into my body. Back in the real world I fell back from my chair, electrodes ripping themselves from my skin painfully as I landed on my side. There was an electrical pop and I smelled the acrid smoke of burning plastic as something in the room sizzled and flared up. I didn't need to look at the tablet or ask DELTA what I already knew to be true — Daryn Bright was truly dead now.

THE LUCID, the four-piece hard rock band featuring bassist David Ellefson (ex-MEGADETH),vocalist Vinnie Dombroski (SPONGE),guitarist Drew Fortier and drummer Mike Heller (RAVEN, FEAR FACTORY),will apparently release a new song early next month. On Tuesday (December 20),THE LUCID shared an Instagram graphic of the group's logo along with the date of "1.3.2023" and captioned it: "#comingsoon". Ellefson confirmed earlier in the year that THE LUCID was working on new material as a follow-up to THE LUCID's self-titled debut album, which was released in October 2021 via SpoilerHead Records. "The Lucid" was produced by Heller and mixed/mastered by Lasse Lammert. Ellefson previously stated about the LP: "It's been a real blast making a record with these guys and I must say that it's refreshing to explore some new musical avenues… to step out a bit from what each of us have done stylistically in our own careers. There was an effortless synergy that came with creating these songs together which is always amazing when working with new people." During a November 2020 appearance on "The Chuck Schute Podcast", Ellefson stated about how he got involved with THE LUCID: "Drew sent me a track and said, 'Hey, can you throw a bass on here?' And I was writing a new ELLEFSON solo record at the time, so my studio ears were on. I was plugged in and ready to go. He sent it over and I was, like, 'Yeah, this is freaking cool, man.' I'd seen Drew play, I know his BANG TANGO history and the other stuff he's done. But this was really cool stuff that spoke to me. And then he called me up and he said, 'Hey, Vinnie is gonna come in and write some vocals and lyrics and lay down some tracks.' And it turned into a thing." "I love [Vinnie]. I love SPONGE," David continued. "He's such a rock star. He's just a cool guy. And he writes such great lyrics — very trippy lyrics. He's the type of lyricist I'd never worked with before, so it's fun with that. And Drew is a great guitar player. Mike Heller — he's good friends with [MEGADETH drummer] Dirk Verbeuren. And Dirk's, like, 'Mike's awesome.' They're good friends. We all met in L.A. We got the songs together and we all met in L.A. in mid-July [2020]. I plugged in and banged out 10 songs in two days. And it was fun. Mike was very good in the studio; he really knows his way around." As for THE LUCID's musical direction, Ellefson told VWMusic: "It's definitely a rock album. It may trend slightly into metal with songs like 'Damned' and 'Deaths Of Despair'. It’s not a thrash metal record. It's not a doom or a power metal record or any of that kind of stuff. I just think it's just a straight-up hard rock record." Fortier was diagnosed with testicular cancer in May and subsequently underwent surgery. Ellefson was fired from MEGADETH in May 2021 after sexually tinged messages and explicit video footage involving the bassist were posted on Twitter. David was in MEGADETH from the band's inception in 1983 to 2002, and again from 2010 until his latest exit.

Das Überleben einer Demokratie entscheidet sich am Ende nicht durch einen noch so brillanten Verfassungstext, sondern durch das Engagement von Frauen und Männern, die einen solchen Staat und seine demokratische Ordnung tragen und die vor allen Dingen begriffen haben, dass die Einhaltung der selbstgesetzten Regeln noch wichtiger ist als die Durchsetzung eigener Interessen.
In the end, the survival of a democracy is not decided by a constitutional text, no matter how brilliant, but by the commitment of women and men who support such a state and its democratic order and who, above all, have understood that compliance with the rules they have set themselves is even more important than asserting one's own interests.

The earliest Roses were wild. Botanists call them the species of the genus Rosa, part of the family Rosaceae. Taxonomists [...] generally agree that 100 to 150 are true species [...] Most species [...] originated in Asia and Europe; about a dozen are native to North America.
Other Roses appeared by about the 1st century, when classical writers mentioned specific roses, including [...] Gallicas, Albas, and Damasks. References to Centifolias (also known as Cabbage Roses) emerged at the end of the 16th century [P] About 100 years later, Centifolias mutated into Moss Roses [...]
The first known Rose hybridizing originated in Holland in the 18th century [...] By the end of the 18th century [...] reblooming Roses [arrived] from China. They were originally called Chinas and Tea-Scented Chinas, and the latter [Tea-Scented Chinas] became known as Tea Roses [...]
Any Rose family created since the late 1800's is considered a Modern Rose, including the beloved Hybrid Tea. The name implies that it's a cross between a Hybrid perpetual and a Tea, but so many Rose families contributed to the earliest varieties that the original Hybrid Tea will never be positively identified [...]
Polyantha [...] Roses, a family of low-growing plants with a profusion of small flowers, have a more definitive history [P] The first Polyantha was [...] introduced [...] in 1875 [...]
In 1880, Max Wichura sent a set of Japanese species plants to Europe [...] These Roses grew near to the ground with fairly long, creeping canes [...] [Michael] Horvath introduced [from this, the] Pink Roamer [...] These Roses, with their long, flexible canes and masses of blooms, quickly became known as Ramblers [...]
[... The Rambler Rose Class was abolished by the American Rose Society in 1999. Most were reclassified as Hybrid Wichurianas or Hybrid Multifloras ...]
Hybridizers in the early 20th century also wanted long-caned Roses with a repeat blooming habit and larger flowers [...] Many Climbers were [thus] introduced [...]
Searching for Roses that bloomed in clusters like Polyanthas but with larger flowers, breeders crossed Polyanthas with Hybris Teas and other large-flowered types to create what they initially called a Hybrid Polyantha. The family name [...] changed to Floribunda in 1950 [...]
Another American, Walter Lammerts, created the Grandiflora [... family ...] introduced in 1954 [...] These large, robust plants combined the spray habit of Floribundas with the large, fragrant blooms of Hybrid Teas [...]
Miniature Roses, with blooms about 1 to 1 & 1/2 inches wide, originated from a Dwarf China Rose sent to England in the early 1800's. The Rose was apparently lost, then rediscovered more than a century later [...] One of the first [... was] bred in 1936 by Holland's Jan de Vink from [the rediscovered rose] and a Polyantha.
A little more than a decade ago [around the 2000's] the world welcomed a new family called Miniflora, consisting of small to medium sized plants whose blooms boast the classic Hybrid Tea form and grow slightly larger than Miniatures [...]
The American Rose Society calls any Rose a Shrub [Rose] if it doesn't fit easily into one of the other classes [P] Shrubs break down into four subfamilies: Hybrid Kordesii, Hybrid Musk, Hybrid Rugosa, and Hybrid Moyesii; but many families are simply generically called "Shrubs" [...]
Among Shrubs, the first significant development began [...] with the introduction of David Austin's 'Constancy Spry'. This pink cross of an Old Garden Rose with a Floribunda was the first of hundreds of Austin Roses that he dubbed "English Roses" [P] combin[ing] the flower forms and fragrance of Old Garden Roses with the reblooming habit and wider color palette of modern Roses [...]
In the mid 1980's, low growing Rugosas about 3 to 4 feet tall with a moderate spreading habit came on the market. This family [...] usual carries the word "Pavement" or "Roadrunner" in the name.
In 1990, the [...] Flower Carpet series emerged. Touted as Groundcover Roses, Flower Carpets often grow more upright than spreading [...] The Roses in the newest groundcover family, Drift, are crosses between full sized Groundcover Roses and Miniatures [...]
The Knock Out series, which began in 2000, represents the most significant recent addition to Shrub Roses.
