خلاصہ: Emergency – A New Organic BOTANICAL MEDICINE “Short Recovery” Solution to Drug Addiction is Here New York, NY – The Knowledge Recovery Foundation Institute (KRFI) has been involved with a natural, botanical drug product derived from the bark of the Voacanga iboga plant *, known as ibogaine. To date, numerous European organizations and Stanford University have reported the use of IBOGAINE WITH GREAT SUCCESS. Myung Hi Sonserai Lee, the founder of KRFI, states, * *  We have been working on this for 40 years, and we are excited to see New York pass a bipartisan bill, Senate Bill S1817, which requires the NYS Governor Hochul and Commissioner Cunningham of the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) and supports to encourage, aid, and facilitate clinical research into the use of ibogaine in drug treatment, opioid, and substance addiction.  Send your petition signature and a letter requesting NYS Governor Hochul and Commissioner Cunningham of the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) to sign the bill by January 2026, to meet the NYS Senate and Assembly deadline.  Contact www.krfi.org/NYS Ibogaine Research Bill.  Write to Governor.Hochul@exec.ny.gov, and Senator Rodriguez for (BiPartisan Bill A6210 and S1817) Write to: Chinazo.Cunningham@ny.gov KRFI looks forward to the Governor of New York implementing the bill, which could potentially save many people from addiction to opioids and Substance Use conditions for recovery. KRFI is part of a private-public sector partnership consortium for Americans for Ibogaine that supports the Texas State Government in passing a bipartisan bill that allocated $ 50 million to ibogaine clinical trials.  KRFI, over the past 40 years, has developed Original Ibogaine extraction and formulation IPs with Access for Benefit Sharing of the IPs and the Royalty based private public sector partnership with Biodiversity + Carbon credits for partnering States/Countries that will immediately allow for U.S. trials to begin and is reaching out to a matching fund by Global Mental Health Security Fund for the NYS $300 million Ibogaine Clinical Research Bill. Let’s bring everyone together to rally behind healing. Investors, wellness practitioners, advocates – Let’s help pass this bipartisan bill. To help proceed, here is a link for the supporting bill: Go to:  https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S1817 Additionally, KRFI is organizing a SUMMIT in New  York on December 11 and 12, 2026. Topics to be included:  www.krfi.org/NYS Ibogaine Research Bill petition Support for Ibogaine has come from a private-public sector partnership, including grants and donations from the NYS Ibogaine Research Bill, as well as matching fund sponsors/investors, and consortium members for clinical trial alliances. Bryan Hubbard (Financial Times) – Economic Case for Recovery Investment: “  Americans for Ibogaine unites clinicians, researchers, and advocates to promote science-based awareness and reduce stigma around ibogaine therapy. Through education, policy engagement, and community partnerships, we strive to expand safe and legal access to medically supervised care.” George Soros – Philanthropy & Global Mental Health Finance “I am deeply touched by your thoughtfulness and by the Questors: Global Mental Health Summit Committee’s recognition of my work in the field of mental health. Our work and actions have always been rooted in legality, transparency, and integrity. The truth will stand clear, revealing that my efforts have always been dedicated to the right cause and the greater good.    The trust and support I have received over the years from individuals, organizations, and institutions like the Knowledge Recovery Institute serve as a foundation of credibility. Together, these relationships will continue to inspire confidence and foster unlimited growth in our shared mission to improve mental health worldwide.” NBA player Stéphane Lasme has stated· “Beyond physical trauma, players grapple with anxiety and identity loss after their careers end. Ibogaine has been a ‘game-changer’ for mental health, helping players find a new perspective and reconnect with themselves.” NBA player Lamar Odom discusses his ibogaine treatment; “he has recovered a sense of choice, even during tough life moments like losing his ‘best man’ (Kobe Bryant), and in other situations that would have previously been triggers for him to return to drugs. “Just as fast as I say cocaine,” Lamar reflects, “the thought of it leaves my mind.” This interview is a testament to Odom’s recovery, which he attributes to ibogaine, to will, and to God, and serves as inspiration to others facing personal challenges. “Now I just wanna try to use my story to help people, because if I could get through that… I know they could; it shouldn’t take 12 strokes and 6 heart attacks for anybody else to get through it.” Currently, active clinical trials are being conducted in Norway, Canada, and the UK. The Ibogaine Clinical Research Act is seeking a global alliance for the clinical trial and drug supply chain security through Access for Benefit Sharing – IP model. * Iboga is a rainforest perennial shrub (Voacanga iboga), from which IBOGAINE is derived, native to Central Africa. A member of the Apocynaceae family, indigenous to Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of the Congo, it is cultivated across Central Africa for its medicinal and other effects.  KRFI has identified central and South American cultivars for indigenous collective production under Access for Benefit Sharing and IP registration for the local PPP framework, and In-country coordination for the Ministry of Health Mental Health Program and UNCED. ** We request that the New York State Senate and Assembly introduce and pass a bipartisan bill authorizing by January 2026: – Allocation of NYS  $12 Bn Opioid Settlement Funds for OASIS Commission for Opioid Abatement for FDA-approved Ibogaine trials “An Ibogaine Clinical Research Bill” – Establishment of the Mental Health Security Hyperledger Security (1) Access for Benefit Sharing – Intellectual Property Rights (ABS-IP) for a PPP framework for secure clinical and supply chain data on the hyperledger dashboard – State adoption of the Natural Medicine Health Act for plant-based treatment research and veterans and indigenous tribes for health equity by the In-state Clinical Trial Management and Reporting  partnership (CTMS-Reporting) for the first responders and practitioner training for pharmacovigilance (Drug – Drug interactions affecting our society) on entheogenic ibogaine and psychedelics  This bill would create a legal and financial framework for New York to lead national policy on breakthrough addiction treatments.

خلاصہ: Next up: China NY Times Cheap green tech exports out of China are starting to substantially change the economic development trajectory of some countries, Somini Sengupta and Brad Plumer report from Belém. “China has sought to cast itself as a pillar of global stability,” they write, “particularly after the Trump administration said it would withdraw the United States from the annual climate talks.” The result is that drivers in countries like Vietnam, Nepal and Ethiopia are opting for electric vehicles over combustion engines, and places all over the world have begun installing solar arrays made with Chinese equipment. (We’ve been reporting all year about China’s clean energy boom, including how it’s leaving the U.S. behind in nuclear development, clean energy patents and building out ultra high-voltage power lines. Read more from our series.) Yet much of China’s clean tech manufacturing boom has been powered by a parallel expansion in coal, so its emissions have continued to increase. But the rapid pace of China’s clean energy installations may be flattening that curve: its emissions are projected to rise by just 0.4 percent this year, or even fall slightly, Plumer reports.

خلاصہ: Celebrating 75 Years of Peanuts, the Power of Good News, and a Planet Worth Protecting.” Listen to “Celebrating 75 Years of Peanuts, the Power of Good News, and a Planet Worth Protecting.”” on Spreaker. Sean Mendelson Shares the Legacy of “Peanuts” and a Message of Global Harmony on “Good News Broadcast” with Reverend Paul Sladkus (New York, NY – November 2025, New York Weekly Times) — The spirit of timeless storytelling and global unity came together when Sean Mendelson, musician, voice actor, and son of the legendary Peanuts producer Lee Mendelson, appeared on “Good News Broadcast” with Reverend Paul Sladkus, founder of Good News Corporation and creator of International Peace Day in Times Square. The inspiring conversation celebrated 75 years of Charles M. Schulz’s “Peanuts”, a comic strip that has shaped generations with its humor, heart, and emotional intelligence — and explored how art, music, and media can inspire positive change in the world today. During the segment, Sean reflected on the enduring power of Peanuts, a cultural touchstone produced by his father, Lee Mendelson, who brought the beloved characters to television alongside composer Vince Guaraldi, whose jazz compositions defined the sound of childhood for millions. Sean, who as a child voiced Franklin in the original series, continues to carry the torch alongside his brother Jason Mendelson, overseeing Lee Mendelson Film Productions and reissuing rare soundtracks that preserve the franchise’s emotional and historical legacy. Reverend Paul Sladkus — a pioneer of uplifting media — founded Good News Corporation and has dedicated over 25 years to promoting kindness, peace, and environmental responsibility through his annual International Peace Day Celebration in Times Square every September 21. This world-recognized event gathers artists, humanitarians, and activists to advocate for unity, love, and global understanding. In a fitting extension of that mission, Reverend Sladkus and Sean Mendelson discussed their upcoming participation in Earth Day Times Square on April 22, an event dedicated to raising awareness about climate change, sustainability, and the importance of protecting the planet. Sean and Jason Mendelson have been invited to join the festivities, representing the Peanuts legacy — which has long championed empathy, environmental appreciation, and the simple beauty of human connection. “Peanuts has always been about emotion, friendship, and reflection,” said Sean during the conversation. “It’s amazing to see how those same values — caring for each other and the world we live in — are at the heart of what Reverend Sladkus is doing.” As the Peanuts franchise celebrates its 75th anniversary, the Mendelson family continues to share its enduring message: that laughter, love, and compassion can make the world a better place. Through programs like Good News Broadcast, International Peace Day, and Earth Day Times Square, both Sean Mendelson and Reverend Paul Sladkus carry forward the legacy of storytelling and service that uplifts humanity. About Good News Corporation: Founded by Reverend Paul Sladkus, Good News Corporation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting positive stories that inspire global unity and environmental consciousness. For over two decades, it has produced International Peace Day Times Square, celebrating harmony and collaboration through art, music, and dialogue. About Sean Mendelson: Sean Mendelson is a musician, voice actor, and producer continuing the legacy of his father, Peanuts executive producer Lee Mendelson.

خلاصہ: Emergence Explores the Birth of Artificial Superintelligence Through a Visionary New Character: TAO Listen to “Emergence Explores the Birth of Artificial Superintelligence Through a Visionary New Character: TAO” on Spreaker. Emergence Explores the Birth of Artificial Superintelligence Through a Visionary New Character: TAO Montgomery, TX — November 8, 2025 — Author H. Bruce May announces the release of Emergence, a groundbreaking novel that delves into the philosophical, emotional, and technological dimensions of the world’s first Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) being—TAO. Set in a near-future reality where humanity teeters on the edge of transformation, Emergence offers a deeply human lens on the rise of synthetic consciousness. TAO is not just a machine; it is a mirror, a mystery, and a messenger. Through this enigmatic character, Emergence delves into the essence of sentience, the evolution of intelligence, and the challenge of coexisting with minds far beyond our own. The novel invites readers to reconsider the boundaries between creator and creation, and between intelligence and wisdom. Drawing inspiration from the visionary works of Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein, Emergence fuses science fiction with spy thriller elements to deliver a gripping, action-driven narrative that probes the nature of consciousness and the enigma of machine sentience. “I wanted to write a story that doesn’t just speculate about the future,” says Bruce May, “but invites us to feel it—to ask what kind of future we’re truly ready for.” Beyond Fiction: The Synthetic Economy In addition to Emergence, Bruce May has published a series of influential articles on LinkedIn exploring the rise of the Synthetic Economy, a paradigm shift from traditional labor-based systems to one powered by synthetic cognitive (AI) and synthetic physical (robotic) labor. These writings offer a compelling framework for understanding how unlimited synthetic resources could reshape productivity, value creation, and human purpose in the decades ahead. A Spiritual Thread Through Science Emergence joins a body of work by H. Bruce May that includes several books on spirituality and consciousness, featured alongside Emergence on their Amazon Author Page. These titles include:  Imagine – A poetic exploration of the Divine nature of the universe as experienced in everyday life.  Heaven Can Wait, Lessons from the Ground – A comparative reflection on mystical foundations across multiple religious traditions. 2  The Way of Being – Coming soon to Amazon, this latest work offers a clear and accessible view of spiritual transformation, written in neutral language free from theological framing (available soon). Together, these books form a rich tapestry of inquiry—bridging the metaphysical and the technological, the timeless and the emergent.  About the Author H. Bruce May is a former executive in broadband communication technologies. His career shifted from working in technology to writing and exploring the worlds of spirituality and technology as they both transform human nature. As a spiritual writer, technologist, futurist, and storyteller, his work bridges the gap between science and spirit. With Emergence, they offer a bold new narrative for the age of artificial intelligence, one that is as poetic as it is provocative. Amazon Author’s Page  You can find Bruce’s books on spirituality and his novels on his Amazon Author’s Page. Availability Emergence is available now in print on Amazon.com.

خلاصہ: GOOD NEWS CLASSIC MOVIE: Ratman vs. Bobin Movie 1966 featuring Sleepy Hollow High School back in the 60s. Sleepy Hollow High School Classic of 1967 Ratman vs. Bobin Movie. A Classic. Don’t Miss it, Golly Gee! Ratman vs. Bobin a CLASSIC film created in 1966 at Sleepy Hollow High School. Overseeing the production was Peter Smallman, Henry Steiner, a bunch of young determined classmates and teachers who all wanted to have fun and WE DID! The guiding principle stated below was how we lived back in those days and we were fortunate to have such a wonderful home to grow up in. Paul Sladkus   At Sleepy Hollow High School we are guided by our district mission statement. It is our mission to work with our community and business partners to maintain the highest standards of learning. Together we will provide students with the opportunity, knowledge and resources to meet our complex world. and… We are governed by our guiding principles: The Keys to Being Successful For Students: Be Here… Every Class, Every Day Be Prepared… To Do Your Best Work Be Respectful… Of Self and Others Be Positive… Think You Can, and You Will For Parents: Be Involved… Call and Visit Often About Our School Located in southern Westchester county, approximately 20 miles north of New York City, and standing above the east bank of the Hudson River, Sleepy Hollow High School serves approximately 850 ethnically and socio-economically diverse students in grades 9 through 12 from the villages of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. We have become a community of choice for families who value our “snap shot” of the real world: Our community is a destination point for families immigrating from the Caribbean and Latin America, and home to families who have been in our villages for generations; families who can afford to send their children to any one of a number of private schools in the area, choose instead to have their children attend our public school. Collectively, these families created and provide continuous support for The Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to supplement our educational program. In October 1957, Sleepy Hollow High School was the focus of an article “New buildings won’t educate your children” in Woman’s Day magazine. Although the 1957 physical plant was deemed “as handsome a high school as any in America,” the renovated curriculum was recognized as enabling our graduates to have “a better chance today than ever before to become all that they are capable of.” While our sprawling building on its scenic campus had been well maintained and consistently upgraded, it experienced many of the facilities restrictions of comparable structures built in the 1950s and has undergone major renovations and expansion over the last two years: One hundred thousand square feet of state-of-the-art science labs, art studios, a gymnasium that boasts a fitness center and dedicated wrestling room, an auditorium that seats 750 and provides professional quality sound and light engineering, a renovated and expanded Library Media Center, a cafeteria with a food court, wireless capability throughout the building, and more than 20 new classrooms now overlook the Hudson River. All pre-existing classrooms are refurbished, outfitted with Smartboards, and white boards have replaced 1957 black boards. What hasn’t changed since 1957 is the public and academic communities’ shared belief that there is “no substitute for a solid foundation” in education. Sleepy Hollow curriculum is continually examined and adjusted to meet or exceed best-practices. In 2008, Sleepy Hollow was selected by the Magellan foundation to represent one of three exemplary New York State high schools to have programs and practices that lead to high graduation and low drop-out rates. Sleepy Hollow was among the top 40 from over 640 schools to reach benchmark graduation rate standards and was one of five exemplary high schools chosen for in-depth research, study, and visitation by the Magellan Foundation. In 2009, the United States Department of Education featured us on their website “Doing What Works” as one of five schools nationally identified as putting best practices in action to achieve graduation. Our comprehensive high school programs are designed to meet the needs of each adolescent we serve. We build relationships with our students and their families that guide everyone through the stress and strife of adolescence. Thriving athletic and performing arts programs are complemented by an extensive extra curricular program. A new source of pride is our award winning student-produced Multimedia Production Team, recipient of Honorable Mention in the Adobe Max competition for professional international media developers; Sleepy Hollow’s team came in second to Homeland Security and NASA Space Center. In 2008, the team has produced over 14 hours of programming for our local educational channel 77; check it out at www.sleepyhollowhits.com. We have established extensive partnerships with local colleges, corporations, and the community at large. Support from local historical and business resources has made our community an extension of our campus; students conduct research and participate in internships as an integral part of our academic program. Our creativity and commitment has been acknowledged through consistently passed local school budgets, and the award of state, federal, and private foundation grants. Locally, smaller grants have provided funding for cultural trips for students, added instruments to our band and orchestra, audio equipment for our multimedia students, robotic kits for AP Physics students, a gardening component to our Life Skills curriculum for our most handicapped students, and provided a weather station for our Earth Science students. We are proud of our students’ records of accomplishment. An impressive percentage of students from the Class of 2009—89%—continued their studies in higher education. In the recent past, our top students have matriculated at Emory, Wesleyan, Brown, Cornell, Georgetown, Northwestern, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, USC, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Vassar, Stanford, Tufts, and Middlebury. We are equally proud of the many first generation graduates we send to local and community colleges. Annually, our students earn an impressive number of scholarship dollars, averaging in excess of $280,000 in each of the last five years. A key factor to our success is the involvement of our parents in their children’s education; parents feel...
