Lingering White SnowWorld Federation of Integrative Medicine 2022-01-10 19:21</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Some say the metaverse is a virtual world. Some say the metaverse is a blockchain. Some say the metaverse is an algorithm &#8230;&#8230;<br />
It&#8217;s all a phenomenon. What is the essence?<br />
<img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-76418 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/li_jianjun_2.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="189" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Today in the courtyard of Prof. Li Jianjun&#8217;s home in ergonomics, the California sun shines, the birds sing, the pool is sparkling, and heaven and earth are in harmony. Several partners produced a collision of thoughts in a smooth conversation with their skills. A professor with great wisdom, an Iranian prince, a mathematician, a life water development team, a Hollywood producer, and the founder of the American University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, chatting about the meta-universe. Thanks to this wonderful day, I wrote this reflection on the meta-universe like a fountain of thought.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-76419 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/li_jianjun_3.jpg" alt="" width="266" height="174" /><br />
How did the metaverse come into being? Virtual space is the vehicle of expression, technology is just a tool, and the purpose is to allow people to experience a new sense of a more multidimensional world. What is the essence?<br />
In general research, there is a consensus that the &#8220;metaverse&#8221; is a new type of Internet application and social form that integrates multiple new technologies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The metaverse has existed for a long time, but the term &#8220;metaverse&#8221; has only recently become popular. In the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, human beings live in a three-dimensional virtual world through &#8220;Avatar&#8221; (digital avatar), which the author called &#8220;Metaverse&#8221;, or &#8220;metaverse&#8221;. With the epidemic isolation, remote social networking, virtual reality, other lifestyle changes, and rapid technology development, even Facebook caught the pulse of the times and changed its name to Metaverse. The world has to start paying attention.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-76420 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/li_jianjun_4.jpg" alt="" width="207" height="144" /><br />
In Chinese, “Yu&#8221; is space, &#8220;Zu&#8221; is time. The universe is composed of time and space. The world we live in is three-dimensional space plus time, that is, four dimensions. Moreover, the meta-universe has broken through the four dimensions. In the original universe, each person has a small world, and each person&#8217;s small world can be linked together without the limitation of time and space. Humans create the &#8220;metaverse&#8221;, but humans do not create it. It is also a cosmic train driven by human technology, human civilization, earth&#8217;s nurture, the laws of the universe, and even unknown forces. We are coming infinitely closer to the universe, to an infinitely expanding universe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The universe is called the universe because of its great dimensionality, its breadth of inclusion, its infinite information, and the fact that it contains everything. The meta-universe is called the universe because it contains human beings&#8217; life and spiritual carriers. In the spiritual world of human beings, they can travel to outer space. They can travel through time and space. They can travel to parallel universes &#8230;&#8230; Everything is possible. In other words, the meta-universe is where the unlimited potential of human beings is developed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In this metaverse era, everyone is a creator, driver, and innovator, and everyone is building the content and meaning of the metaverse. The meta-universe is a new universe in the human dictionary, but it is not a universe created out of thin air but a spiritual world created by the masses throughout human civilization and wisdom.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-76421 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/li_jianjun_5.jpg" alt="" width="247" height="174" /><br />
Freud believed that dreams express man&#8217;s unfulfilled desires, and the meta-universe is the booster of dreams. The torrent of the times will wash away the way you dream.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In the meta-universe, you can lie on the sofa and lead a thousand armies to fight; you can view your dream lover is deep in love with you; you can lie in a hospital bed and ride a motorcycle and police race; you can occupy the land and money in a rented house that makes you rich; you can take potato chips and put on VR eyes to view yourself eating an entire banquet. People can travel to the ends of the earth without leaving home, to experience all kinds of things on earth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Technology has pushed the way and convenience of human life, but technology is only a tool. Numerous technology companies have taken advantage of the winds of the meta-universe to fly into the sky and make a fortune. So what is the next wave?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-76422 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/li_jianjun_6.jpg" alt="" width="263" height="139" /><br />
Let&#8217;s imagine the future of the metaverse again, like a city where no one is visible, but people exist, in the form of information, everywhere. All people&#8217;s minds, life experiences, crystallized wisdom, and knowledge base, can be stored in the cloud and everything becomes transparent. The speed of information transfer, the change to rapidity, and the authenticity of the experience make all countries, cultures, religions, ethnicities, and people groups on the planet, no longer separated. The idea of money first is slowly being eliminated, and the prosperity of the spiritual world becomes the new wind of the future. Whoever can lead the spiritual world will hold the future. Furthermore, in the spiritual world, whoever can master the ultimate law of the universe can dominate the universe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Some people say the spiritual world is firewood. Some say the spiritual world is trying to get money, some say the spiritual world is dream imagination, some say the spiritual world is communicating with ghosts and gods, and some say the spiritual world is saving the world. It&#8217;s like the blind man feeling the elephant, and in the end ,feeling the whole picture pieced together &#8211; everyone sees the original face of the elephant, from the smallest to the collective subconscious of humankind, to the collective subconscious of the universe. The meta-universe is still just a fragment, and you and I are all cutters.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">People have gone so far in the earthly world that they almost forget that our spirit can be as bright as the stars, our potential can be as constant as the sun, our senses can be aware of everything in heaven and earth, we can penetrate the past, present and future, and we can travel through space at will. Human beings were originally one, human beings and the earth were initially in harmony, and human beings and the universe were so close that everything is in the meta-universe. The meta-universe does not belong to human beings, but human beings see a silhouette of the universe from the meta-universe.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-76423 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/li_jianjun_7.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="144" /><br />
The metaverse is the ultimate point of life experience pursued by human beings, and the spirit is in search of the origin of the universe&#8217;s wisdom.<br />
We hope that in the era of the metaverse, no one will be hungry, no one will not be misunderstood, no one will be deceitful, everyone will help each other, share, win together, and advance towards a higher civilization.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">How big can this universe be? None of us knows &#8230;&#8230; However, we are creating it together.</p>

HOW 4-H’ers ARE LEARNING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF POLLINATORS &amp; HOW THEY’RE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN GLOBAL FOOD PRODUCTION</p>
<p>Pollinator Week is an annual event celebrated internationally in support of pollinator health.</p>
<p>So, what exactly are pollinators? Birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and other small mammals that pollinate plants are responsible for bringing us one out of every three bites of food. They also sustain our ecosystems and produce our natural resources by helping plants reproduce.</p>
<p>If you enjoy coffee, chocolate, apples, almonds, and many other foods that are part of our daily lives, you may be surprised to learn that without pollinators they might no longer exist. About 35 percent of the world’s food crops are the result of pollinating species, an essential component in global food production.</p>
<p>Learning about the importance and benefits of pollinators on the world’s food supply is the idea behind the 4-H Pollinator Habitat Program. The three-year program aims to teach 30,000 youth nationwide about the importance of pollinators and pollinator habitats, while encouraging the establishment of quality pollinator habitats at 22 sites across the country.</p>
<p>The program features a “Teens as Teachers” approach which is a true win-win for kids. The young people learn skills from teen ambassadors they look up to while 4-H teens develop their leadership skills through teaching.</p>
<p>The great thing about Pollinator Week is that you can celebrate and get involved any way you like! Kids can take part in craft activities by making their own ants from clothes pins and pipe cleaners, or designing a butterfly using a coffee filter and food dye, among many other ideas found on the 4-H website. <a href="https://www.4-h.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.4-h.org</a> or <a href="http://www.4-h.org/corteva" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.4-h.org/corteva</a></p>
<p>4-H teen ambassador Grace Moeller from Minnesota will join Rancher &amp; 4-H Mom Natalie Kovarik to discuss the 4-H Pollinator Habitat Program, how kids can get involved during National Pollinator Week, and the importance of the program for the future of U.S. agriculture and the global food supply.</p>
<p>Grace Moeller<br />
Grace is a 17-year-old Pollinator Ambassador from Blue Earth County, Minnesota. She is passionate about pollinators, climate change, and the outdoors. Grace loves to ride horses, design clothes, and run Cross Country + Track and Field.</p>
<p>Natalie Kovarik<br />
From the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills, Natalie Kovarik shares her ranching and familying story to showcase the beauty behind the western lifestyle as well as foster a community that supports and trusts in agriculture as much as she does. Most of her days are spent bouncing around in a dusty old tractor or out in pasture on horseback, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. With roots firmly planted in the ranching community, she aims to spend her time advocating for rural life while collecting meaningful moments on her ranch with her ever-growing family.</p>

The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae, native to North America. It is resident through most of eastern and central United States, although western populations may be migratory. Resident populations are also found in Newfoundland, Canada, while breeding populations can be found in southern Canada. It breeds in both deciduous and coniferous forests, and is common in residential areas. It is predominantly blue with a white chest and underparts, and a blue crest. It has a black, U-shaped collar around its neck and a black border behind the crest. Both sexes are similar in size and plumage, and plumage does not vary throughout the year. Four subspecies of the blue jay have been recognized.</p>
<p>The blue jay mainly feeds on nuts and seeds such as acorns, soft fruits, arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates. It typically gleans food from trees, shrubs, and the ground, though it sometimes hawks insects from the air. Like squirrels, blue jays are known to hide nuts for later consumption. It builds an open cup nest in the branches of a tree, which both sexes participate in constructing. The clutch can contain two to seven eggs, which are blueish or light brown with brown spots. Young are altricial, and are brooded by the female for 8–12 days after hatching. They may remain with their parents for one to two months.</p>
<p>The bird&#8217;s name derives from its noisy, garrulous nature. It is sometimes called a &#8220;jaybird&#8221;.</p>
