The Royalty of Words
Defenses of royalty in our modern world seem absurd to many, particularly intellectuals. I myself have found some, but here is a new one. (We are talking about this class of people as it appears in modern Europe.) If you see the external world as a reflection of hidden terrains, then you could say that royalty functions on a social stage as words do for an individual person. You have one figure representing many, and there is a unique attention paid to that one person, say, Queen Margarethe of Denmark. Her speech has a certain power, but it is NOT that dynamic of original forces, but merely a reflection, which is certainly diverse from the gears that run things, personally, and beyond. A constitutional monarch is every person's verbal talent. My picture is meant to point to the power of words, which is not the same as any truth value they might have. Words assert an authority which they do not actually have, and yet, there is something about the linguistic dimension which is remarkable.

Summary: 10(Z)-hexadecenoic acid, a fatty acid found in the soil based bacterium Mycobacterium vaccae, interacts with immune cells to inhibit pathways that drive inflammation and increases resilience to stress. Researchers say the findings could bring us one step closer to developing a microbe-based “stress vaccine”.

Thirty years after scientists coined the term “hygiene hypothesis” to suggest that increased exposure to microorganisms could benefit health, University of Colorado Boulder researchers have identified an anti-inflammatory fat in a soil-dwelling bacterium that may be responsible.
The discovery, published Monday in the journal Psychopharmacology, may at least partly explain how the bacterium, Mycobacterium vaccae, quells stress-related disorders. It also brings the researchers one step closer to developing a microbe-based “stress vaccine.”
