Greetings.

It is now 7:07 AM EST for me.

I just glanced over an article recently today from www.msn.com’s homepage, and I thought you may find it useful, something you may consider as an option for job watercooler conversations, if you think a colleague has the problem, someone you normally talk to at work. I’m not obligating anyone to wait by their job bathrooms to give such advice to those you suspect may have the problem. It’s just information I think you may choose to use. It’s in that section when msn.com would show you a storyline for a few seconds, then move on to another storyline. There are dots at the bottom of it’s illustration, each dot indicating a different story you may want to review. This story is from insider@insider.com (Deana Bianco). I’m rather new at quoting it, but I think there’s a new cluster of stories every day, so I don’t think it will still be there the next day. Here’s the quote:

—

For over a year I had abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal issues.

I tried to lower my stress levels, but that didn’t ease my symptoms.

I went to a gastroenterologist and was diagnosed with SIBO, a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

I’ve always had a sensitive stomach. Since I was a child, I’ve known that eating fried foods, lots of pasta, and a lot of dairy can cause stomachaches that last almost 24 hours. Then, two years ago, everything I ate started to make me feel sick and bloated.

For over a year I ignored my symptoms — until I also started to experience diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, and loss of appetite. I convinced myself stress was to blame, so I did what I could to lower my stress levels; I meditated, added workouts to my schedule, and tried to get more sleep. But for the most part, these things did little to ameliorate my symptoms.

Finally, after struggling to walk up the stairs in my house eight months ago, I decided to see a gastroenterologist, a doctor specializing in diseases and disorders of the digestive system.

As I sat in the doctor’s office, it hit me how tired I was and how sick I’d been feeling daily. After a checkup, the doctor sent me home with a kit to retrieve stool culture to test for salmonella. She also provided an at-home breath test to measure fermented gases (hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) in my gut.

The stool sample tested negative for salmonella. But the breath test showed a positive result for SIBO, or a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, an imbalance of bacteria in the small intestine as a result of slow movement in the gut.

Though my gastroenterologist is unsure how my SIBO developed, she said stress could have caused the gut infection. The Mayo Clinic reports that SIBO can also be a result of surgery or diseases that affect the small intestine.

My first attempt to treat SIBO failed, but I kept at it
As soon as I was diagnosed with SIBO, I was desperate to get rid of it. I saw a nutritionist who recommended I treat SIBO with an antibiotic and a costly powder called Physicians’ Elemental Diet, which involved drinking a mixture of the powder and water every 45 minutes for two weeks as my only form of sustenance.

When I got home and started the diet, I struggled to get the mixture down without gagging. At one point I was so sick and had a raging headache. I watched YouTube videos about people who had gone through this diet to try to convince myself to soldier on, but in the end I gave up. I knew that getting rid of SIBO would be challenging, but I was unwilling to make myself feel even sicker than I already felt to do so.

I called the gastroenterologist, who suggested treating my SIBO with a temporary low-FODMAP diet. FODMAP (which stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) is an acronym for a specific kind of carbohydrate that may be particularly difficult to digest. I incorporated low-FODMAP foods like eggs, meat, almond milk, oats, rice, zucchini, and oranges into my meals and avoided wheat, lactose, legumes, apples, avocados, and sweeteners like honey and corn syrup.

My symptoms eased. After four weeks of this strict diet, I reintroduced foods one by one for three weeks to try to determine which foods might be causing symptoms. A study published in October linked a low-FODMAP diet with a reduction in the severity of symptoms of people with gastrointestinal conditions including SIBO. This is because the diet reduces the intake of carbohydrates that can ferment in the gut and fuel bacterial overgrowth.

I learned that large amounts of soft cheeses and gluten cause discomfort in my stomach, so I refrain from eating them.

—

So, if you suspect that you or someone you know of has SIBO, you may choose to recommend to that person(other than yourself) to see a gastroenterologist, and that person’s doctor visit, so to speak, will do all the rest. So, if you work for a job that has many employees, then you probably noticed that, when you would use the bathroom, a few of those employees seem to spend a great deal of time using the toilets, so in my opinion the possibility of employees having some sort of gastrointestinal problem is not a reach. If you recommend to someone to see that doctor, then that doctor’s visit, in my opinion, should be very helpful to them.

It is now 7:22 AM EST for me. I’m going to look for that music video and trailer. Soon after I find and prepare them later today, I’ll start typing again. So if you are there later today, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 8:15 AM EST for me.

Before I begin, I want to say a quick story that I imagined I think it was a week or so ago. Um, I imagined that there are certain public project participations in America that require a CEO(chief executive officer) to participate in order for such project participations to exist. The CEO’s are not participating for the money, since they’re already rich, but somehow those project participations manage to get a hold of them. So, why would those CEO’s do it? I imagine that they participate for charity and community purposes. Keep in mind that, in this imagined story, they work for those project participations, even though they are CEO’s.

All right! The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Giddy Up!’ by Shania Twain. Even though I only looked at one publisher, here’s the set-up that I used: I have a collection of publishers in my ‘Watch later’ list from my signed-in youtube homepage. I would use the indicator, put it over the publisher, use the 2nd button on my laptop to ‘right click’ it, and then select ‘Open link in new tab’. I did that 4 times for 4 publishers, creating 4 tabs. The 4 tabs are for publishers ‘Hot Music Charts’, ‘MUSIC CHARTS’, ‘Current Chart!’, and ‘InMusic Official’. Randomly selected, I started with ‘InMusic Official’. (Oh, right. Those 4 publishers were selected because they give very short video clips of new music videos and current music videos, making it very easy for me to choose them.) In InMusic Official, homepage, I selected ‘VIDEOS’, and recent selection ‘New Songs Of The Week (January 6th, 2023) | New Music Friday’, which was published 14 hours ago. A video clip from music video ‘Giddy Up!’ starts 39 seconds into that video collection. Here’s a quote from a review that I found by searching in www.google.com for phrase ‘shania twain giddy up music video reviews’, from www.people.com, about the music video ‘Giddy Up!’:

Twain, 57, released the catchy tune on Thursday alongside a new music video that features dozens of people being overcome by dance as they shop, eat and even do laundry.

The video features Twain briefly as a car mechanic, and includes dance-filled scenes set everywhere from a diner and a bar to a grocery story and a laundromat before things wrap at a honky tonk with some line dancing.

—

And here’s a quote from the lyrics to song ‘Giddy Up!’:

Up and we giddy up
Giddy, giddy up
Up and we giddy up
Drunk in the city
Got a litty in the cup
Up and we giddy up!
When we get stuck
Gotta give a little love
It’s up and we giddy, giddy up!

—

And here’s a quote from one of the comments:

I think this symbolizes what Shania’s music does. It pulls EVERYONE together. Young, old, somewhere in between from all different backgrounds to just be and feel the music!! This is great!!

—

In my opinion, I normally would avoid country music videos, for the sake of variety. However, when I noticed that the music video had a lot of synchronized dancing variety, I chose to consider music video ‘Giddy Up!’. As I was watching it, there was a lot of cultural diversity, a lot of different ethnicity in the dancing participants, and a lot of synchronized dancing to go with it. It’s like an example of American civilians. I’m only planning on watching it that one time, but I still choose to make it a recommendation for this advice.

—

All right. Here’s a comment that I imagined about the use of music videos. Of course, I’m using music videos in this blog to help add to attention span when using this advice, but I also imagined certain celebrities in America, also celebrities from other countries when visiting America, they would learn some sort of really cool short dance routine to show the general public, so that the younger generation would better relate to them. Let’s say celebrity actor Jensen Ackles(Dean Winchester) from time to time when attending certain public events, he would present a 20 second or so dance routine, entertainingly timed, that would draw attention to himself. It’s really entertaining to look at, and a few? celebrities, not just acting celebrities, would also present a short dance routine for the sake of the younger audience. Watching music videos contribute to that dance routine a few celebrities would present.

It is now 9:34 AM EST for me.

The tv series trailer that I completely watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice, refurbished with inapproprieities removed, is ‘The Last of Us’. I found it from one of the publishers from my ‘Watch later’ list, publisher ‘HBO Max’. It was published 1 month ago, with 15 million views. To watch the trailer, just search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘the last of us’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered.

Here’s a few short quotes from wikipedia.org about the series:

The Last of Us is an upcoming American post-apocalyptic drama television series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO.

The series, said to be the largest television production in Canadian history, was filmed in Alberta from July 2021 to June 2022. It is the first HBO series to be based on a video game…

The first season will consist of nine episodes…

The series is set to debut on January 15, 2023.

—

And here is a storyline quote from www.imdb.com:

20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed, Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal heartbreaking journey as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.

—

And here is a quote from one of the comments:

I really think it’s such a haunting image in post apocalyptic worlds when we see something like a shopping centre/mall having been abandoned for the best part of two decades and the lights being turned back on. All the shop signs, the colours, the sound system working, overgrown with dust and mould, glass cracked and broken. A graveyard to what was once symbolic of western society. For Ellie it’s a world she never seen so it’s all just fun. But to anyone who was a teen or older before the fall, they would feel sad at the sight as it would evoke memories of a world long gone.

—

So, in my opinion, the storyline is like a few of those Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, where everything seems to hinge on the success of a certain mission. In my opinion, if Joel Miller(Pedro Pascal) and Ellie Williams(Bella Ramsey) manage to make it out of that danger zone, then humanity has the ability to rebuild again. So to speak, population growth should reach the billions in no time at all, since science, technology, and structure are still available.

So, if you choose to watch the trailer, just keep in mind that it’s science fiction. All of that danger isn’t real, and don’t emulate any of it. Don’t do anything reckless and dangerous.

It is now 10:50 AM EST for me.

Positive acceptable presentation effectiveness:(name created 12:46 PM EST)

I have invented a strategy idea within the past week that I think you may find useful, but I also want to present to you an idea that, by intent, is supposed to improve your chances for finding that idea useful. After all, you’re not clones of me, so that means I’ll have to offer you that idea, and if you choose to use it, then it may help you find useful the next idea I will offer you.

The idea primarily uses episode 3.10 ‘Sabrina and the Beast’ from fantasy tv series ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch(1998)’, and after that, I offer 2 more references for variety and clarification, 2)episode 2.14 ‘Five Easy Pieces of Libby’ also from fantasy tv series ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch(1998)’, and 3) episode 1.6 ‘Mudd’s Women’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek(1966)’, all 3 references are available streaming from Amazon.com. Those 3 references, and much of this explanation, is just to help you understand this idea. The main reference is watching the music video, refurbished with inaproprieities removed, ‘Be the One’ by Dua Lipa.

To help me explain this idea to you, I’m starting with the main ‘understanding’ reference, the ‘Sabrina and the Beast’ episode. I’ll quote a few key references from the episode using streaming service Amazon Video, and then use those quotes to explain the idea to you.

7 minutes and 1 second into the episode:

Cousin Susie(Sonje Fortag): ‘Hello, all.’ (the presents are hiding her face)

Sabrina Spellman(Melissa Joan Hart): ‘Cousin Susie, I’ve heard so much… (Sabrina notices Cousin Susie for the 1st time)

Sabrina Spellman: ‘WHOA!’ (Sabrina thinks that Cousin Susie is so unattractive, it causes her to involuntarily say ‘WHOA!’.

—

7 minutes and 40 seconds into the episode:

Cousin Susie: ‘Let’s talk about the family secret.’

Sabrina: (jumps out of the couch because she’s still acclimating to how she is reacting to Cousin Susie being so unattractive) ‘Oh, I really don’t have time right now. I’ve got to write a term paper on ‘The History Of Term Papers’.

—

8 minutes and 16 seconds…

Cousin Susie: ‘Sabrina, do you have a problem with the way I look?’

Sabrina: ‘No, you’re a very nice wart… woman!’

—

So, based on those quotes, even though Sabrina has the intent to welcome Cousin Susie, Sabrina is still having difficulty interacting with her because of the importance she gives to physical appearance. The idea that I am trying to offer you is to create, by imagination, not by actually knowing what it is, positive, acceptable presentations by others that is meant to cultivate participation continuity, something presented, for example, that will allow Sabrina to interact with Cousin Susie more tenably, something that Sabrina is already trying to achieve by intent. In my opinion, the episode itself does give illustration examples presented by others in the show, not by Sabrina, that helps people more tenably interact with Cousin Susie, and is supposed to help Sabrina more tenably interact with Cousin Susie, which is why I chose it to be the main ‘understanding’ illustration example. Other people in the show are already presenting by intent, positive acceptable presentations meant to cultivate participation continuity.

—

Here’s a quote from ‘Five Easy Pieces of Libby’, 9 minutes and 8 seconds into the episode:

Sabrina: ‘Okay, enough. Nothing is worth this.’

Soon after that, Sabrina learns 5 things about Libby Chessler(Jenna Leigh Green) that helps her tolerate Libby’s indiscretions better. I didn’t look at those scenes again, but I think the episode illustrates those ‘things’, and those illustrations as presented by the episode, not by Libby, are the positive, acceptable presentations refurbished for advice with inaproprieities removed.

—

And here’s the ‘Mudd’s Women’ positive, acceptable presentation quote. It starts 46 minutes and 56 seconds into the episode:

Captain Kirk(William Shatner): ‘There’s only one kind of woman.’

Harry Mudd(Roger C. Carmel): ‘Or man, for that matter.’

Kirk: ‘You either believe in yourself or you don’t.’

—

Here’s 2 quotes from wikipedia.org about the episode:

The women are intended as wives for settlers on the planet Ophiuchus III and are introduced as Ruth Bonaventure, Eve McHuron, and Magda Kovacs. All three signed on with Walsh to escape a situation in which their marriage prospects were slim or non-existent.

This restores her self-confidence to the point that Childress finds her as attractive as before.

—

So, in the ‘Mudd’s Women’ circumstance, Kirk and Mudd present the positive, acceptable presentation, Kirk saying ‘You either believe in yourself or you don’t.’ , interpreted in the context of that episode, of course. The woman presented herself to be beautiful to that man, but it’s more to it than that.

—

All right. It is now 12:04 PM EST for me.

Since the ‘activation idea’ in this case is using the music video and song ‘Be The One’ by Dua Lipa, let’s examine the lyrics to the song, acquired from azlyrics:

I see the moon, I see the moon, I see the moon
Oh, when you’re looking at the sun
Not a fool, I’m not a fool, not a fool
No, you’re not fooling anyone

Oh, but when you’re gone
When you’re gone, when you’re gone
Oh baby, all the lights go out
Thinking, oh that, baby, I was wrong
I was wrong, I was wrong
Come back to me, baby, we can work this out

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show
That I won’t let you down and run
No, I won’t let you down and run
Cause I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one

I see in blue, I see in blue, I see in blue
Oh, when you see everything in red
There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for you
Do for you, do for you
Oh, cause you got inside my head

Oh, but when you’re gone
When you’re gone, when you’re gone
Oh baby, all the lights go out
Thinking, oh that, baby, I was wrong
I was wrong, I was wrong
Come back to me, baby, we can work this out

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show
That I won’t let you down and run
No, I won’t let you down and run
Cause I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one
I could be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one
I could be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one
I could be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one
Will you be mine?

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show
That I won’t let you down and run
No, I won’t let you down and run
Cause I could be the one
I could be the one
I could be the one

The 2nd line to the song:

Oh, when you’re looking at the sun

—

Of course, it is harmful to your eyes to look at the sun directly. People wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. Bus drivers from my observation have that visor that they can lower to protect their eyes from the sun. If being exposed to the sun is unavoidable, then you can purchase sunglasses to protect your eyes from sun exposure.

It is now 12:12 PM EST for me.

You don’t have to know specifically what those positive, acceptable presentations are. Your starting point is that, if you knew what that positive, acceptable presentation is, it would be acceptable and approved by you to use. Until then, you don’t know in the beginning what it is yet. If you know soon after using the idea, then the idea is still acceptable because the starting point is still used, that you did not know in the beginning what it is.

Now, let’s imagine a lot of them, that you don’t yet know as a beginning. Let’s imagine/conceptualize one of those small plastic Christmas trees, the tree itself is limber, easily squished by one of your imagined hands, and it has those Chrismas lights on it’s branches. You can imagine using one of your imagined hands, and you can gather all of those Christmas lights in one hand. Let’s say that all of those lights are one color. You choose the color. And when you hold all of those lights in one of your hands, well, some of them are sticking out from between your fingers, it gives off a cool feeling, not ‘ice’ cool, but cool, not warm. Each of those lights are separate examples of positive, acceptable presentation from other people.

Now, the song and the music video ‘Be The One’ by Dua Lipa, I highly recommend that when using this idea for the 1st time, that you watch it using your youtube app for your tv, that you watch it from your big screen tv, not your computer, and wearing headphones connected to your tv, not using your tv’s speakers. If you can’t do that, then I guess you can watch it from your computer, but try to use headphones for your computer. If you don’t have youtube premium and you want to watch it a few times without commercial interruptions, you can stop it before the music video ends, and when you’re ready, just start it over.

(The ‘Update’ button is starting to be sluggish for me again, so I went to the top of the screen, selected ‘Performance’, and then selected ‘Purge All Caches’, and that should allow the ‘Update’ button to work normally again.)

Now, when watching the music video ‘Be The One’, in a generalistic music video context, it’s all refurbished to represent the effectiveness of positive, acceptable presentations. For example, if you are a boy/teenage boy, man, while watching the music video ‘Be The One’, you can contemplationally sing that song, and it’s used to represent positive, acceptable presentation effectiveness, it’s not used as a woman called Dua Lipa singing in a music video. That is what is allowing yourself to ‘sing along’ with it. If you are able to pull this off, so to speak, and if you are a boy/teenage boy that doesn’t have a career job yet, then having your future boss explain something to you that you may have difficulty doing because of the resource use could be easier for your in the future to make tenable to understand more. As for the girls/teenage girls, women, the idea is the same, that it’s not a woman singing the song, it’s used as positive, acceptable expectation effectiveness, but since you’re a girl/teenage girl/woman, and the singer is a woman, than learning to use this idea, in my opinion, should be a ‘cake walk’/very easy for you to learn.

So, for example, before you start watching the music video ‘Be The One’, let’s say if you haven’t done so already, you’re using the youtube app for your tv, and your headphones is connected to your tv set. The 1st time you watch it that way should create some sort of epiphany for you. Oh, you can also imagine holding those lights in one of your imagined hands, to help you sense those positive, acceptable expectation effectiveness of yours. And you’ll probably choose to think of the song contemplationally from time to time.

—

It is now 12:34 PM EST for me. I am going to close this list now. Next week, I do have an idea that I already invented within the past week that I may type in, but based on past performance, I’ll probably invent another idea sometime on or before next Saturday shows up. I’ll probably type something in.

Oh, that’s right. When watching the music video ‘Be The One’, there are people standing on the sidewalk as Dua Lipa’s car drive by with Dua Lipa in it. That reminds me of when I use the bus, and I see people waiting outside standing on the sidewalk. Well, they’re standing on the sidewalk for some reason, a reason I choose not to know about. When you see those people standing on the sidewalk, you may choose to remind yourself when you would use the bus, and you would see people standing on the sidewalk.

So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
