If you are afflicted by the disease Porphyric Hemophilia in The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Remastered, you will need to acquire a cure for vampirism to neutralize its effects. This is a time-limited objective since it will turn you into a full-fledged vampire after 3 in-game days. While there are many bonuses to being a Vampire, you will be severely restricted in your daylight adventures. This is a guide to acquiring a cure for vampirism in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. Font of Renewal Interacting with The Font of Renewal is the simplest method for curing yourself of vampirism before the turning commences. While there is a full-fledged quest that can also be carried out, this can be very time-consuming, and you may well turn before completing it. The Font of Renewal is located on Deepscorn Hollow, one of two islands in Topal Bay, south-east of Leyawiin. The quest will begin as soon as you land on the island. Proceed to the sunken ruins, and through the submerged entrance concealed within the large wooden log. Head west through the door and into the Deepscorn Cloister. At the bottom of the stairway is a rather plain looking obelisk in a shallow pool, known as the Font of Renewal. Collect some Purgeblood Salts from the Purgeblood Crystal Formation located in a corner of this same area, and then proceed to the Font of Renewal to relieve your vampirism ailment. That is how to get a cure for vampirism in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered.

The red-chested cuckoo (Cuculus solitarius) is a species of cuckoo. It is a medium-sized bird, about 31 cm (12.2 in) in length, found in Sub-Saharan Africa. The male has slate-grey upper parts, pale grey throat and sides of head and dark grey tail tipped with white. The breast is rufous or cinnamon, often with barring, and the belly is creamy-white or pale buff. The female is similar but the colour of the breast is duller and with variable amounts of barring. It is usually solitary and highly vocal and lives on forests and plantations. It eats insects including caterpillars, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, slugs, snails, small vertebrates and berries. This red-chested cuckoo was photographed in Kibale National Park, Kenya.

Image by Getty / FuturismPeople who support authoritarianism on either side of the political divide have, according to a new study, something weird going on with their brains.Published in the journal Neuroscience, new research out of Spain's University of Zaragoza found, upon scanning the brains of 100 young adults, that those who hold authoritarian beliefs had major differences in brain areas associated with social reasoning and emotional regulation from subjects whose politics hewed more to the center.The University of Zaragoza team recruited 100 young Spaniards — 63 women and 37 men, none of whom had any history of psychiatric disorders — between the ages of 18 and 30. Along with having their brains scanned via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the participants were asked questions that help identify both right-wing and left-wing authoritarianism and measure how anxious, impulsive, and emotional they were.As the researchers defined them, right-wing authoritarians are people who ascribe to conservative ideologies and so-called "traditional values" who advocate for "punitive measures for social control," while left-wing authoritarians are interested in "violently overthrow[ing] and [penalizing] the current structures of authority and power in society."Though participants whose beliefs align more with authoritarianism on either side of the aisle differed significantly from their less-authoritarian peers, there were also some stark differences between the brain scans of left-wing and right-wing authoritarians in the study.In an interview with PsyPost, lead study author Jesús Adrián-Ventura said that he and his team found that right-wing authoritarianism was associated with lower grey matter volume in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex — a "region involved in understanding others' thoughts and perspectives," as the assistant Zaragoza psychology professor put it.The left-wing authoritarians of the bunch — we don't know exactly how many, as the results weren't broken down in the paper — had less cortical (or outer brain layer) thickness in the right anterior insula, which is "associated with emotional empathy and behavioral inhibition." Cortical thickness in that brain region has been the subject of ample research, from a 2005 study that found people who meditate regularly have greater thickness in the right anterior insula to a 2018 study that linked it to greater moral disgust.The author, who is also part of an interdisciplinary research group called PseudoLab that studies political extremism, added that the psychological questionnaires subjects completed also suggested that "both left-wing and right-wing authoritarians act impulsively in emotionally negative situations, while the former tend to be more anxious."As the paper notes, this is likely the first study of its kind to look into differences between right- and left-wing authoritarianism rather than just grouping them all together. Still, it's a fascinating look into the brains of people who hold extremist beliefs — especially as their ilk seize power worldwide.More on authoritarianism: Chinese People Keep Comparing Trump's Authoritarianism to Mao and Xi JinpingShare This Article

While most teens are still figuring out how to parallel park, some are already building stock portfolios—and making serious money. Thanks to a mix of AI tools, after-school jobs, and financially savvy parents, a new wave of Gen Z investors is getting into the stock market younger than any previous generation. According to the 2024 Charles Schwab Modern Wealth Survey, the average Gen Z investor is buying stocks by age 19, compared to Millennials at 25 and Gen X at 32. Videos by VICE Gen Z Teens Are Turning Summer Jobs Into Serious Stock Market Gains Ryan Sorrell was just 8 years old when he made his first Bitcoin investment. Now 15, he’s bussing tables at a retirement home and funneling his $800-a-month paycheck straight into Bitcoin and MicroStrategy stock. So far, he’s turned $6,000 into profit—with some help from AI tools like ChatGPT. “It helps me a lot to just run through scenarios, to see where I’d be if I did that in, like, 10 years’ time,” Sorrell told The New York Post. He says investing early has completely changed how he thinks about money: “I’m putting it in the market and making a return instead of just losing it for, like, a pair of shoes or something.” Sophia Castiblanco, now an 18-year-old college freshman, started investing at 14 using money from her toy review YouTube channel. Initially putting in $300 a month, she’s now investing $3,000 a month into companies like Tesla, Amazon, and Nvidia. Even after recent market turbulence, Castiblanco doubled down. “I think it’s a great time to put money into the market,” she said. She hopes her profits will eventually fund an investment property for passive income. Castiblanco also wishes more young women would jump into finance early. “It would be so beneficial if schools had a finance class at a young age so that students actually develop some more financial literacy.” Perrin Myerson started dabbling in stocks at 14 after discovering Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum. He opened his first practice account with help from his dad, then poured Taco Bell paychecks into stocks like Amazon and Palantir. Now 22, he’s running a startup and boasts a 51% return on his investments. “Too many people my age are looking for get-rich-quick schemes,” Myerson warned. Even high school juniors like Isaiah Jones are making moves. Jones, 16, built a crypto portfolio from lawn-mowing money and says trading is now “mainstream” at his Richmond, Virginia school. Still, financial experts caution against buying into meme stocks or sketchy crypto hype. “Always invest in things that you’re using,” said Brian Belski, Chief Investment Strategist at BMO Capital Markets. Good advice—especially when half your classmates are checking their crypto wallets between classes.
