THE HUMAN LIFE
The illegal trade of organs on the black market has become a thriving business, driven by individuals like Joe Boy who are desperate to escape poverty. Among the brokers facilitating this trade is Diane. Meanwhile, those who are forced to rely on dialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant face numerous challenges in their daily lives. The hope for a suitable living donor or a transplant match keeps them going. In Kosovo, investigations into organ trafficking have revealed the country's deep-rooted corruption and organized crime. Due to problems, planned organ transplants in Turkey have had to be relocated to Kosovo. Dr. Yousef, a notorious organ trafficker, is currently on the run. Despite his criminal activities, he is an accomplished transplant surgeon, having successfully performed over 2,000 operations.

The Plastic Problem
Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to our planet, impacting oceans, wildlife, and freshwater ecosystems on a global scale. The South Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive accumulation of marine debris larger than the state of Texas, is just one example of the devastating effects of plastic pollution. This issue is not limited to oceans, as even the Great Lakes and the Mariana Trench are now facing the consequences of plastic waste. The exponential growth in plastic production has led to a surplus of waste, with microplastic pellets from manufacturing facilities finding their way into water bodies through accidental spills. These microplastics degrade over time, breaking down into smaller fragments that persist indefinitely.

How to Sell Fake Disease
Pharmaceutical companies are accused of fabricating diseases to boost sales of their medications. The pharmaceutical industry is under scrutiny for allegedly creating fictitious illnesses to drive up the demand for medication. This practice puts doctors in a difficult position, caught between the interests of patients and the pharmaceutical companies. Metabolic syndrome, which is associated with abdominal obesity and is a precursor to diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, is often used as an example of a condition that is exploited for profit. Experts such as Dr. Boris Hansel and Professor Jean Louis Depp are known for endorsing pharmaceutical drugs like Accomplice and Ribonomat for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.

The Other Side of Ottoman Empire
The imperial palace of the Ottoman Empire housed a secluded and mysterious world known as the harem. Within its walls, hundreds of women from both within and beyond the empire served as personal slaves to the sultan. These women, who were primarily non-Turkish and often captured by slave hunters, were predominantly of Christian faith. In a peculiar incident, a mechanic from London, dispatched by Queen Elizabeth, was tasked with installing an organ within the imperial harem. To his surprise, he witnessed the sultan's concubines engaging in a game of ball, initially mistaking them for young men. Despite the potential for loneliness, the harem, also referred to as the abode of felicity, provided its inhabitants with all the means of happiness. This was the reality of the imperial harem in 16th-century Istanbul.

Harvesting Millions to Feed All
The harvesting process in agricultural areas across the United States involves a combination of machinery and manual labor. In Washington, hops play a significant role in beer production, with billions of plums also being harvested in August-September for various uses. Florida stands out as a major producer of sweet corn, with advanced farming practices ensuring sustainable production. Potatoes, known for their adaptability, are grown from USDA-certified seeds to maintain purity. Advanced technology is utilized by farmers in potato-growing regions for irrigation, weather monitoring, and fertilization to guarantee successful and sustainable growth. Harvest timing is critical for potato quality, with modern machines being used to protect the produce during handling and transportation. The large-scale harvesting of fruits and vegetables in the United States showcases the use of state-of-the-art machinery for efficient production. California is the leading state in carrot production, utilizing large harvesting machines capable of harvesting between 110,000 to 195,000 pounds per hour, which reduces the need for migrant workers.

Don't Feed Cancer
80% of cancers can be prevented, with obesity being a major risk factor. Cancer plays a significant role in maintaining high mortality rates. It is a mitochondrial metabolic disease that affects energy metabolism. Metabolic therapy has shown promise in treating cancer and other related conditions. To prevent cancer, it is important to avoid consuming foods that promote the growth of cancer cells. Contrary to popular belief, cancer is primarily a metabolic disease rather than a genetic one. Cancer models often fail to accurately represent real-life clinical scenarios. Studies have demonstrated that calorie-restricted diets can reduce the aggressiveness of tumors. Biochemical experiments and our understanding of genetics support the notion that cancer originates from disruptions in energy metabolism rather than gene mutations. The misconception that cancer is solely a genetic disease has impeded progress in treating and reducing mortality rates. By approaching cancer as a metabolic disease, there is potential to significantly decrease the death rate by more than 50% within five years.

Human Planet
The future of the human race is uncertain, with varying opinions on how long it will last, ranging from a few years to thousands of years. There are concerns about the impact of human civilization on the planet's climate and the potential consequences that may arise from it. The dangers of climate change have been known for six decades, starting in 1958 when air and water pollution were severe, even leading to rivers catching fire. As a result, activism and movements grew to address environmental issues. During President Obama's term, green energy initiatives received significant support, as he rolled out a trillion-dollar stimulus package, with nearly 100 billion allocated for green energy.

The Mornons Church
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints migrated to the Great Salt Lake Valley after experiencing displacement multiple times. Its origins trace back to New York, where Joseph Smith received a divine vision. Throughout their journey, the church faced persecution in different states until they eventually settled in the Great Salt Lake Valley, which was then a part of Mexico. Mormons often face scrutiny for their beliefs, and recently, BYU students have become targets on TikTok, where they are portrayed in a silly or peculiar manner. Mormonism places significant demands on its members, but it also aids in their personal growth and development. The political landscape and population growth have brought about changes in Salt Lake City.

Decoding the Human Brain
The human brain has evolved, showing similarities with the chimpanzee brain in terms of the limbic system and the development of emotions and memory. The neocortex in humans is thought to be linked to creative thinking and consciousness. Through millions of years, the human brain has grown in size due to the competitive necessity for problem-solving and critical thinking. It is designed to efficiently tackle tasks for short periods and then conserve energy. Humans are adept at marathons because of their efficient energy consumption. While humans may not have the advantage in hand-to-hand combat against primates due to a lack of tools, they excel in endurance activities like marathons. Our brains are highly demanding in terms of energy, which has led to adaptations in muscle energy consumption for endurance purposes.
