| I knew that people on youtube have recorded themselves playing cool versions of the notes written on the butt of the guy in hell in Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights but today I learned there's a bunch of transcribed sheet music online so you can play your own without having to squint into his crack. |

Amazing. Now we know why monsanto went after the dandelions: It kills up to 96% of leukemia cells in just 48 hours! Nature itself has many effective health remedies. You may not know the presence of many effective plants, but in fact, they are located right in your garden. When it comes to leukemia, many of us are the first to equip ourselves with medication, chemotherapy, poor quality of life and overall misery. Here’s all the info you need to know about the roots (and leaves) of a dandelion and what it can do for people battling leukemia. Recent studies have shown that the dandelion root is cytotoxic against three types of human leukemia cells and it destroys up to 96% of cells in just 48 hours! Dandelion tea affects cancer cells by breaking down within 48 hours and stimulating the growth of new healthy cells in the patient's body. The study was conducted by Dr. Hamm with his students. They removed blood cells from 9 different patients who used root extract and applied it to several cells to cultivate them. Within 24 hours, the cells were killed. There have also been a number of other studies to find that dandelion extract can have potentially effective substances against cancer, melanomas and prostate and breast cancer. Other properties of dandelion root/leaves... Dandelion root/leaf extract has been used for centuries as an effective healing agent in traditional folk medicine. Anemia... Dandelions have a fairly high content of iron, vitamins and proteins. While iron is a part of hemoglobin in the blood, vitamins like vitamin B and proteins are important for the formation of red blood cells and some other blood components. A dandelion can help with anemia. Strong bones... Dandelion is rich in calcium, which is essential for bone growth and strength, and is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and luteolin, which protect bones from age-related damage. Diabetes ... Dandelion juice can help diabetics by stimulating the production of insulin from the pancreas. Prevents urinary tract infection... Dandelion can help prevent urinary tract infections, as well as bladder and kidney disorders, or even cysts on the reproductive organs. Cleanses the liver ...

Dandelion juice is also used to treat skin diseases caused by microbial and fungal infections. The juice is highly alkaline and has insecticidal, bactericidal and fungicidal effects. This juice can be used for itching, shingles, eczema, etc." |
26 of the Best Keyboard Shortcuts Everyone Should Know
THE BASICS
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of one or more keys pressed in unison that invoke a command that would otherwise have to be clicked on from a menu (or by typing into a command-line interface). Some keys on your keyboard, like the Function Keys (marked F1, F2, etc at the top of most keyboards) or the Windows Key will invoke commands all by themselves. Others are combined with the Control Key (on Windows machines, sometimes abbreviated as CTRL) or the Command Key (on MacOS machines, sometimes abbreviated as CMD) in various ways to make the magic happen. Other keys typically involved in keyboard shortcuts include the Shift keys, ALT keys, and Option key in MacOS.
There are some “universal” shortcuts that are pretty much the same between Windows and MacOS (and even Linux) systems, and some that are unique to each. Plus, you can create your own shortcuts by “mapping” commands to key combinations on your own. While there are hundreds of shortcuts in Windows and MacOS (and more specific to applications), I’ll stick to the most useful pre-mapped shortcuts you can use.
Some keyboard shortcuts operate in Windows, MacOS, and even Linux environments. They’re also the absolutely essential keyboard shortcuts you should be using to make your life just a little easier:
CTRL+Z/CMD+Z: Hitting the Control or Command keys and the “Z” key at the same time invokes Undo, which is possibly the most powerful and useful tool ever invented. Any time you accidentally delete an entire paragraph from a text file or a whole folder from your hard drive, CTRL-Z can usually undo it.
CTRL/CMD+A: This will Select everything on your screen.
CTRL/CMD+C: This will Copy whatever you have selected on your screen, storing it in your computer’s Clipboard until you need to duplicate it. In Windows, you can also use CTRL+Insert.
CTRL/CMD+V: This will Paste whatever’s in your clipboard into a text file or a folder. In Windows, you can also use SHIFT+Insert.
CTRL/CMD+X: This shortcut will Cut whatever you’ve selected, deleting it and storing a copy in the Clipboard.
CTRL/CMD+W: This will Close whatever is the main focus on your screen at that moment.
CTRL/CMD+F: Invokes the Find tool so you can search within a document, web page, or app.
CTRL/CMD+P: Will bring up your system’s Print dialog to send your file to the printer.
CTRL/CMD+N: This shortcut will create a New window or document, depending on the context. For example, when you’re in Word in Windows, CTRL+N will create a new Word document. If you’re currently in your browser, it will create a new browser window.
CTRL/CMD+S: This will Save your current document. In the days before autosave functionality was standard, hitting this shortcut every few minutes was an essential practice. Usually, adding Shift to this (Shift+CTRL/CMD+S) will save a copy under a new file name.
CTRL/CMD+R: When you’re focused on a browser window, this shortcut will automatically Refresh the current browser page. Adding in the Shift key (Shift+CTRL/CMD+R) will produce a hard refresh, reloading all data from the source instead of relying on data that’s been cached to speed things up.
CTRL/CMD+O: Will trigger the Open dialog for the current application.
ALT+TAB: Pressing the ALT key and the TAB key simultaneously will allow you to Switch between open windows. Hold the ALT key and tap the TAB key until the window you want to access is highlighted, then release the ALT key to select it.
ALT+F4: Pressing the ALT and F4 keys together will quit the current application you’re focused on. This is slightly different from CTRL+W, which closes the current document, though sometimes closing the document also closes the application itself, so there’s some confusing overlap here.
CTRL+Backspace: This will delete the word to the left of your cursor in a text document or dialog box.
WIN+Down Arrow: This will minimize your current window.
WIN+D: This combination will minimize all open windows at once, showing you the Desktop.
WIN+Left or Right Arrow: This will snap your current window to the left or right of the screen.
CTRL+ESC: Hitting the Control key and the Escape key together will bring up the Windows Start Menu. This is mainly useful if your keyboard doesn’t have a dedicated Windows key.
F2: Pressing the F2 function key will usually open the Rename dialog for a file.
