Dancing frenzy:

The people who 'danced themselves to death'

Since these dancing disorders of the Middle Ages and early modern times, there have been hundreds of other potential instances of MPI as well. But, you might be thinking, perhaps MPI occurred in the distant past because people were more superstitious and easily-duped than they are today. Surely, we must have advanced past this era of gullibility, right?

Wrong. There is a long list of examples of possible MPI in modern times. For instance, in 2011, twenty classmates at a high school outside Buffalo, NY suddenly began to experience tics, verbal outbursts, and other symptoms that resembled those of Tourette syndrome. Despite investigations by doctors and state health department officials, no environmental cause of the condition was identified, and most doctors eventually agreed that the students’ conditions were brought on by psychological factors. Some doctors even suggested that social and mainstream media contributed to the “spread” of the affliction. Those who were more inclined to post frequently about their ailment on sites like Facebook and those that gave frequent interviews to the press were thought to have the most aggravated conditions. The students who avoided these practices tended to improve more quickly.

Havana syndrome is potentially an even more recent example. Havana syndrome began in late 2016 in Cuba, when American and Canadian diplomatic personnel started reporting a number of symptoms—like headaches, nausea, dizziness, memory problems, hearing loss, and even “mild brain trauma”— which typically appeared after hearing a prolonged harsh, high-pitched noise. Strangely, other people nearby usually didn’t report hearing anything. By 2018, up to 40 cases of Havana syndrome had been documented among American and Canadian diplomatic personnel in Cuba. And in early 2018, similar claims began to be made by U.S. diplomats in China.

Some times it's a crime and sometimes it's a medical emergency that is so embarrassing that one leaves the scene. MS and IBS are two diseases where people don't feel the onset soon enough or the onset is so fast that one cannot always find a restroom. Releasing photos and calling it a crime is pretty sad

 

A former Dutch soccer player dies after jumping off a cliff in Mallorca to record himself on video


​

They went to the Malgrats Islands, where the former Dutch league soccer player was ecstatic with the cliffs. He decided to disembark to climb to the top and jump from there as if it were a diver. An experience that his wife agreed to record from the boat.

Don't any one get to thinking this is meant as political, it's not meant that way. It just goes along with the thread and how weird the world is becoming, right before our eyes.

"During those oral arguments, state prosecutors repeatedly argued that “innocence isn’t enough” of a reason to throw out Jones’ conviction."

Weird, I'm still looking for any actual evidence of Jone's innocence here. Usually most of the people they could have called, didn't get called, because on cross it would be bad for the client.

 

But the real problem to me is that the Supreme Court says there is no longer a reason or right to even have new trials when new evidence is found. the old "one and done" thing will be the new law of the land.

That's an interpretation by those with an axe to grind about other possible court decisions. The case was NOT about innocence or new evidence. It was about a 'claim' of people’s constitutional rights to effective counsel. The right to say, my lawyer (state public defender most likely) was a fool, so I get a new trial. The solution (instead of ground-hog day trial repeats) is for states to ensure that people charged with crimes have qualified and resourced counsel in the first place.

Sabotage and pistols - was Ellen Willmott gardening's ‘bad girl’?


​

She inspired the names of almost 200 plants, but the reputation of 19th Century horticulturalist Ellen Ann Willmott has been tarnished, with rumours that she sabotaged other people's gardens and carried a gun. In Chelsea Flower week, we look at a recent discovery which sheds new light on the gardening great - and her rude behaviour.
