China bans using Bone-ash apartments as a casket alternatives
Posted by Shexter on 3/31/26 at 3:22 pm

BEIJING: Chinese authorities have banned entombing cremated remains in cheap apartments, a practice that had gained popularity as mourners took advantage of the subdued housing market to dodge rising funeral costs.
"Bone-ash apartments" are units in remote, barely occupied residential complexes that can be cheaper than a public cemetery plot, according to local media.
But regulations that came into force on Monday explicitly ban "the use of residential dwellings specifically for the interment of ashes."
Human remains are only permitted to be buried in designated areas such as public cemeteries, according to the State Council, China's cabinet.
Bone-ash apartments are often identifiable by sealed-off windows or closed curtains, according to Chinese media reports.

Demand for cemetery plots is increasing as China's population ages and deaths outpace births.
In 2020, funerals cost nearly half of the country's average annual salary, according to a survey by British insurance firm SunLife.
On Tuesday, China's market watchdog announced new rules to tackle fraud and a lack of transparency in funeral pricing to "reduce the burden of funerals on the masses."
In contrast, the price of apartments has continued to fall as consumer confidence remains low and a long-running property sector crisis lingers.
Founder of ‘orgasmic meditation’ company gets 9 years in prison in forced labor conspiracy

OneTaste describes orgasmic meditation as an activity in which a participant (usually male) strokes the genital area of a female participant while she concentrates on the resulting physical sensations. OneTaste events demonstrated the technique in front of live audience and employees were instructed to perform and undergo stroking regularly, including from strangers. Several employees reported enduring stroking under duress including "economic, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse, surveillance, indoctrination and intimidation". In the trial of Daedone and Cherwitz, victims testified to psychological and physiological harms, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

NEW YORK (AP) — The leader of a sex-focused women’s wellness company that promoted “orgasmic meditation” was sentenced Monday to nine years in federal prison for a scheme that a judge said exploited vulnerable women and coerced them into performing sex acts with the company’s clients and investors.
Nicole Daedone, co-founder of OneTaste Inc., was also ordered to forfeit $12 million, and seven victims were awarded roughly $890,000 in restitution, federal prosecutors said.
“Coercion disguised as wellness or empowerment is still exploitation and it is a crime that causes harm to vulnerable victims,” Joseph Nocella, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York said in a statement.
Daedone declined to speak in federal court in Brooklyn on Monday, but one victim told the judge that she had believed in Daedone’s “so-called feminist mission” only to be “left with significant financial damages and emotional harm,” the Daily News reports.
Nicole Daedone, center, founder and former CEO of OneTaste, departs Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 in New York.
quote:
They noted that the 58-year-old New York resident had no prior criminal record and that more than 200 people had submitted letters to the court “attesting to her character, her generosity, and her positive influence.”
“She has lived an uncommon and impactful life, and she is deeply respected by people from all walks of life, including many entirely unconnected to OneTaste,” the defense lawyers wrote in their sentencing memo.
Among those who penned letters of support was Van Jones, a CNN correspondent and former adviser to President Barack Obama. He described Daedone as “a woman of uncommon wisdom, grace and moral courage” who has “dedicated her life to helping others find healing, empowerment and a deeper sense of human connection.”
Actor Richard Schiff, of the television series “The West Wing,” wrote that Daedone was deserving of the court’s leniency because she has “spent her life trying to bring compassion, awareness, and honesty to a part of human experience that is often shamed or misunderstood.”
The basic practice
Here is the basic practice, which you can learn via their Online OM Course or their virtual guide, which uses your phone’s touchscreen to practice the stroking movement:
Create a “nest”: this is the place where the OM will take place, and includes a fresh washcloth, at least three pillows, a blanket, gloves, lube, a timer, and a firm sitting pillow. A yoga mat under the blanket on the floor is recommended.
It can look as simple as this:
Get into position: the “strokee” takes off her pants and lays face up on the blanket, while the “stroker” sits next to her right hip, with his (or her) left leg over the strokee’s body.
Grounding pressure: once both partners are comfortable, the stroker gives the first of two “safeports” confirming that they are about to provide “grounding pressure.” Once confirmed, the stroker presses firmly down on the strokee’s thighs, one hand on each, for about 15 seconds.
Noticing step: next, the stroker provides a one or two-sentence, neutral description of the strokee’s genitals (such as “Your inner labia are a light coral color and bend slightly to the left”). This shouldn’t be a compliment or judgment, just a factual observation.
Gloves and lube: the stroker puts on latex gloves, making sure there are no wrinkles, and applies a small dollop of lube to their left index finger and right thumb.
Final confirmation: the stroker tells the strokee that they are about to touch their genitals.
Begin practice: the stroker sets a 15-min timer, parts the outer labia, pulls the clitoral hood back, and rests the right thumb at the base of the introitus (the opening where penetration takes place). The left index finger is left free to stroke the upper left quadrant of the clitoris, with a very light rhythmic motion about as strong as the weight of two pieces of paper.
Offers and requests: the stroker and strokee can make offers and requests at any time, such as more or less pressure, shifting locations, or faster or slower stroking. They are to be made in the spirit of increasing resonance between the partners, not in favor of one person’s agenda at the expense of the other.
Coming down: the final 2 minutes are spent with downstrokes, for both partners to “come down” from the high of the experience.
Final pressure: the stroker places one hand over the strokee’s genitals and applies firm downward pressure for 10-15 seconds, with the other hand placed on top.
Sharing frames: to complete the practice, the strokee sits up and they each share a “frame” – a brief, factual description of something they experienced, like a buzzing sensation, pressure, or warmth in a specific part of their body.

quote:
The back-to-land movement of the 1930s is a direct historical precedent for the rural migration scenario emerging in AI displacement projections. Between 1930 and 1935, an estimated 1.2 million urban Americans moved to rural areas, many purchasing or homesteading small farms, not because farming was economically efficient relative to urban wages in good times, but because land represented a form of security that employment had catastrophically failed to provide.
The difference between the 1930s back-to-land movement and the one now taking shape is technological infrastructure. The 1930s migrant left electricity, running water, markets, medical care, and communication behind when they left the city. The displaced white collar worker of the 2030s leaves none of these things behind. They bring them in their pocket, on a satellite dish, and in a decade of technical knowledge that did not exist in 1935.
quote:
The generation formed by the internet's maturation is, by several psychological metrics, the most anxious and least resilient in the historical record. This is not a moral failing. It is the predictable outcome of an environment that eliminated boredom, friction, delayed gratification, and physical competency from childhood development at scale.
The AI generation growing up now and the jack-of-all-trades generation being forged in displacement may represent a correction. Children raised in households where parents work with their hands, build things, fix things, and use AI instrumentally rather than compulsively may develop the psychological substrate their parents' generation lacked. This is one of the more counterintuitive potential gifts of the disruption ahead.
quote:
When a wave of college-educated, technically literate displaced workers begins entering trade apprenticeship programs, as is already beginning to occur, the character of those trades begins to change. The electrician who understands building automation systems, the HVAC technician who can integrate AI-managed climate controls, the plumber who understands smart water monitoring, these are not the trades of the previous generation. They are hybrid roles that combine physical execution with systems intelligence in ways that are both extremely difficult to automate and extremely well compensated.
ACT 1
The early rural movers during Act One have enormous advantages. Land is still affordable. The cultural infrastructure of rural communities has not yet been strained by a large influx. The technical skills of early movers command premium prices because supply is still limited. The window for Act One positioning closes around 2028 to 2029.
ACT 2
The jack-of-all-trades identity begins to carry genuine cultural prestige rather than being coded as a retreat or a failure. The rural homestead with a Starlink dish, a productive garden, a workshop, and a remote income stream stops being an eccentric lifestyle choice and starts being a recognizable aspirational archetype. The media coverage shifts from "people fleeing cities" to "people choosing differently," which is a meaningful difference in how it registers culturally.
The educational reckoning arrives in full force during Act Two. Universities whose revenue model depended on credential scarcity tied to specific career paths face genuine existential pressure as those career paths compress.
ACT 3
The jack-of-all-trades generation has by now raised the first cohort of children who have known nothing else. These children, born in the early 2030s to parents who chose intentionality over efficiency, will enter adolescence with a relationship to physical competency, technology, and community that no prior generation has had in the same combination. They are comfortable with AI the way their parents were comfortable with search engines, instrumentally and without mystification. They know how to fix things, grow things, and build things the way their grandparents did not. They have the community embeddedness of a small town and the global connectivity of a major city.

A research paper published March 27 in the Journal of Family Studies examined the “partnership preferences of male refugees from Afghanistan and Syria who arrived in Germany between 2014 and 2016 and female residents of similar age.”
You left out the part where the article was referring to middle eastern men going to Germany
quote:
Male refugees regularly demonstrate their “high willingness” to “partner” with native European women by raping them.
Gangs of Middle Eastern and North African men coordinated to sexually assault over 1,000 women in Cologne, Germany, on New Year’s Eve in 2015. The men formed circles around the women and attacked. The police received 1,210 complaints from victims, according to Le Monde, “half of which were for sexual assault.” Only one sexual assault conviction was made.
In Sweden, about 63% of convictions for rape or attempted rape have an “immigrant background,” that is, they were born abroad or their parents were born abroad.

A 1997 study of a Saudi population found that the “prevalence rate of consanguineous marriages was 51.3%” in the Riyadh area. A 2022 review puts the prevalence of inbreeding between 20% and 50% in the Middle East in North Africa.
“[W]e have noticed that unions between first cousins are particularly popular and account for nearly a quarter of all marriages in many Arab countries and a percentage of up to 86% of all consanguineous marriages.”

Miss LSU 2026 has been crowned
Posted by Shexter on 3/30/26 at 11:53 am
quote:
Kira Ekukpe is a native of Dallas, Texas and is majoring in Business Administration at LSU.
This was her second year of competing in pageants and she says that the experience has taught her so much about stepping out of her comfort zone, according to the Miss LSU pageant.
The pageant was held on the evening of March 29th. After evaluating contestants during the swimsuit, gown, and interview rounds, judges had a hard time coming to a conclusion on a winner. A 15-minute intermission was added to the program to allow judges more time to narrow down their decisions.
The event was one of the many Delta Zeta sorority events hosted as a part of their hearing philanthropy. This past year, Delta Zeta raised over 80 thousand dollars to donate nationally and locally through the Miss LSU pageant.
Ekukpe will serve as a representative of her university and will continue her reign as Miss LSU through March 2027.
