This because it would be to hard for some people to grasp its 1:43pm (example) everywhere on earth at once

That would be freaky.

Kind of kicked me in the head when I went to the west side of Texas on a trip once (I live on the east coast of Florida) because of how different the sun set at an equivalent hour to what I expected from my home.

I bet it hurt

Would it have been possible to keep giving him fresh pig hearts and keep him alive?

I think that would probably be impractical.

Necessary? Redundant? Racist?

The state of California has recently adopted the Ebony Alert notification system to help bring more attention to missing Black children and women, which is the first of its kind in the nation, and now, many are questioning whether Texas should adopt a similar bill.

The Ebony Alert system, similar to the Amber Alert system, will prioritize the search for missing Black children and young women, ages 12 to 25.

Why was this law needed?
The Senate Bill 673 for the Ebony Alert was signed into law on Oct. 8, by California Gov. Gavin Newsom and will go into effect on Jan. 1.

California Sen. Steven Bradford told NBC News data shows that when Black and brown people go missing, there is very little media attention, Amber Alerts and police resources used compared their white counterparts. He said it is time to dedicate something specifically to help bring young women and girls back home because theyre missed and loved just as much as their counterparts.

By the numbers:
According to the most recent data by the National Crime Information Center, around 141,000 Black children under the age of 18 went missing in 2022 and approximately 16,492 Black women over the age of 21 were accounted for in those missing persons cases.

At the end of 2022, about 30,285 Black people in the United States remained missing

The Black and Missing Foundation shows the disparities in missing persons cases, highlighting that Black people missing persons cases remain open longer than those for white people. In 2022, about 546,568 people were reported missing and 38% were Black. Derrica Wilson, co-founder of the foundation, told CNN that a majority of the 6,000 cases of missing Black people in her database remain unsolved, NBC News reported.

Why are minority children get less attention or Amber Alerts?
Since 1996, the Amber Alert system has helped find hundreds of abducted children with the help of local police, which set the standard for Americas Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response, according to its website. The Amber Alert was created in honor of the life and legacy of 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was brutally murdered after being kidnapped while riding her bike in Arlington, Texas.
According to the Black and Missing Foundation, there are three reasons why there is a disparity in minority missing persons cases:

• 
  
• Runaways: A lot of minority children are initially classified as runaways, which is the result on why these cases do not receive the Amber Alert.
• 
  
• Criminals: The foundation also stated that missing minority adults are labeled as associated with criminal involvement, gangs and drugs.
• 
  
• Desensitization: It is also believed that missing minorities live in impoverished conditions and crime is a regular part of their lives.

The foundation has provided several ways on how to level the playing field: More diversity in the newsroom, balance the scales and show less of one group and more of everyone, see value in Black and brown lives and be vigilant.

Houstons alert system in missing persons cases
In March 2000, the Texas Center for the Missing was formed after 17-year-old Gabriel Lester was reported missing from his private high school and his remains were found four months later. Gabriels mother, a Houston-area businesswoman help launch the organization in efforts to help families find hope, according to its website.

The Texas Center for the Missing, located in Houston, is dedicated to bringing hope and healing to the missing and their families. The nonprofit also provides multiple programs to help reduce the number of missing children, such as providing education, safety and emergency programs to the Houston-Galveston area.

The Houston Regional Amber Alert Program, administered by Texas Center for the Missing, is designed to help find missing children believed to be abducted. The program covers the Houston-Galveston 14-county region, including Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda, Montgomery, San Jacinto, Walker, Waller, and Wharton counties.

Will Houston adopt the Ebony Alert System?
KPRC 2 has reached out to the Texas Department of Public Safety on implementing the Ebony Alert System in Texas, but has not heard back a response to the inquiry as of this writing.

In the most recent data by the Texas Center for the Missing, in 2022, 7,335 new missing child cases were filed in Harris County and 9,351 in the 14-county Houston-Galveston Region.

Yeah jump cuts. Hate them. I can see why they would do it for what you said, but I see so many unnecessary ones.

Do you know what I mean?

Lots of YouTube do it. They'll be walking or driving or just sitting, and within one minute they clip the video like 10 times, like just 2 seconds in between what they're doing.

What's the deal with this?

Do things slower

Second person to receive experimental pig heart transplant dies nearly six weeks after procedure

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/ce1fabae.jpg

Lawrence Faucette, the second living person to receive a genetically modified pig heart in a transplant, has died six weeks after the experimental procedure. The University of Maryland Medical Center, where the experimental procedure had been performed, said the heart began to show signs of rejection in recent days.

Mr. Faucettes last wish was for us to make the most of what we have learned from our experience, so others may be guaranteed a chance for a new heart when a human organ is unavailable. He then told the team of doctors and nurses who gathered around him that he loved us. We will miss him tremendously, Dr. Bartley Griffith, clinical director of the Cardiac Xenotransplantation Program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, said in a statement. Griffith had performed the experimental surgery.

Faucette, 58, was first admitted to UMMC on September 14 after experiencing symptoms of heart failure and underwent the experimental transplant six days later. His heart disease and pre-existing conditions made him ineligible for a traditional human heart transplant.

My only real hope left is to go with the pig heart, the xenotransplant, Faucette told the hospital in an internal interview several days before the surgery.

We have no expectations other than hoping for more time together, his wife, Ann Faucette, said at the time. That could be as simple as sitting on the front porch and having coffee together.

In the weeks that immediately followed the transplant, his doctors reported that he was making significant progress, including participating in physical therapy and spending time with this family.

One month after his surgery, his doctors said they believed his heart function was excellent and had withdrawn any drugs to support his heart function.
Weve had no evidence of infections and no evidence of rejection right now, Griffith said at the time.

Doctors had treated Faucette with an experimental antibody treatment to further suppress the immune system and prevent rejection. However organ rejection is the most significant challenge with traditional transplants involving human organs as well, said UMMC in a statement.

In a statement regarding her husbands passing, Ann thanked those involved in her husbands care at UMMC.

Larry started this journey with an open mind and complete confidence in Dr. Griffith and his staff. He knew his time with us was short, and this was his last chance to do for others, she said.

According to the federal government, there are more than 113,000 people on the organ transplant list, including more than 3,300 people in need of a heart. The group Donate Life America says that 17 people die each day waiting for a donor organ.

In January 2022, the University of Maryland also performed the first such experimental surgery on 57-year-old David Bennett, who died two months following the surgery. While there were no signs of rejection in the initial weeks following the transplant, an autopsy concluded that Bennett ultimately died of heart failure from a complex array of factors, including Bennetts condition prior to the surgery. A case study published in the Lancet also noted there was evidence of pig virus that had not been identified previously.
