Added 2020-04-15 17:04:46 +0000 UTCHello dear Patreons!
Another week in lock-down. Are you struggeling or can you find blessings in this new situation? There is always more than one side to any given situation.
We have posted an article about slaughterhauses closing down as there is no transportation for their products and it was clear where the article led. On the other hand many of us, vegeterains and meat lovers care for animals and don't like of mass meat production (avoiding to name it mass slaughter). Everybody like to know that the steak they are eating comes from an animal that had a happy life and a quick last moment. Is this not a good moment to hold a vision to transform meat production facilities in smaller institutions where everything is done with compassion for everybody involved - the workers, the animals and the consumers?
I hope in this week's selection will be one ore more article which you find worthwile a read.
With best wishes for everybody
Rose

GLOBAL STABLE COIN (GSC)
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) outlined ten recommendations to central banks for regulating stablecoins, including outright prohibition.
On April 14, the FSB released a consultative document addressing the regulatory, supervisory, and oversight challenges raised by global stablecoins. It contains ten high-level recommendations addressed to central banks and G20 authorities at the jurisdictional level. More specifically, they recommend a unified global approach to the supervision and regulation of the fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies. If they can’t control and regulate fully decentralized stablecoins, they should consider banning them.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is an international body that monitors and makes recommendations about the global financial system. The Board includes all G20 major economies, FSF members, and the European Commission. Hosted and funded by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the board is based in Basel, Switherland.

OCCULTISM AND ART
Marina Abramovich, Microsoft and Christie's
On Good Friday Bill Gates’ new Microsoft ad dropped featuring prominent performance artist Marina Abramovic. The artist is presenting her first mixed reality artwork "The Life" on Microsoft's Hololens 2.
Marina's inclination for using satanic symbols in her performances lead to recently being called "a satanist". In the recently published video "Out of the shadow" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY8Nfzcn1qQ&feature=youtu.be) she is shown with various celbrities in kind of occult context (1:09-1:11min).
The video is intreguing as it shows the old technique by using art to transform and elevate a human in an adorable priestess / spiritual superior being. So the new Hololens technology mimics ancient techniques like i.e. tantric budhism where an entity/god is visualised in the mind and by holding this inner picture for prayer or meditation, the mental (and other) energies are focussed and led to the very being in the astral world. Marina becomes immortal.
