Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Stony Brook University Now a Top 40 Institution and other Highlights

Congratulations to my Alma Mater who is now a member of the Top 40 universities in the USA. Stony Brook University has inched up quite a bit and now holds the 39th spot on the QS World University Rankings list.   I’m so proud of my Alma Mater who's been steadily rising up the ranks hanging right there in the radar of the top universities in the USofA.  Stony Brook also has the #1 spot for public universities in New York and is number 13 on the list of Best Public Universities in the US.




I’m also proud to announce that we have a new young Seawolf on our hands.  Congratulations to my little brother who has just graduated from a private school here in NYC.   He was offered scholarships to study at the inaugural Roc Nation School of Music at Long Island University and the electrical engineering program at Syracuse University.  He’s chosen to make Stony Brook home for the next four years and boy did he make a great decision by becoming a newly proclaimed Seawolf!  I can’t tell you how ecstatic I was to hear the news of his acceptance and was glad to pay his registration deposit. He plans to major in Mechanical Engineering. Way to Go Seawolves!!!! It looks like I’ll be paying visits to my old campus soon. Can't believe it's been over a decade.

A leading STEM and Research Institution

Stony Brook has been making some major strides within research, most notably, environmental as well as academics over the last couple of years. Factors that have been included in Stony Brook obtaining their top 39th spot are diversity and internalization, learning experience and research, employability, gender pay gap, university support of UN’s Sustainable development goals and the social impact of the institution.  The number of Fulbright students in a university is also taken into account.  The Fulbright program was established to grant students funding for research and assistantships.  Stony Brook University was named a top producer of Fulbright students in the Chronicle of Greater Schooling’s 2020-2021 record.

Stony Brook University has always been a prime institution for producing high quality research as well as making ground-breaking discoveries.  This year, researchers at  Stony Brook discovered a keratin 17 biomarker to aid in diagnosis of bladder cancer and researchers were also able to discover a neural signal (LPC or Late Positive Complex) that explains how those with autism understand the mental states of others.

Stony Brook Making Moves in the Green World

Stony Brook is a leading institution for environmental studies and they’re playing a key role in the green world.  They’ve chosen to adopt vegan cuisine into meals being served on campus with vegan eatery, Recharged Rooted. The eats are diverse and incorporate African, Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. At Plantiful, students can select from a salads that are served with a variety of toppings and energizing plant based proteins.  

I was also elated to hear about the Sustainability Studies program, which wasn’t there when I attended.  The program offers undergraduates five majors focused on the environment and sustainability. The institution was able to secure a multi million dollar funding deal to aid in research initiatives focused on wind and energy technology.  In conjunction with the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center, they'll focus research efforts on conservation, renewable energy and nanotechnology for development of new energy sources.

Image
Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
