October 16, 2023 -

Studied extensively, ginsenosides display anticancer and anti-metastatic properties – not only by restricting cancer cell proliferation, viability, invasion and migration, but also by promoting apoptosis (cell death) or paraptosis (a new and unique cell death mode), cell cycle arrest and autophagy (the body's process of reusing old and damaged cell parts) in several cancers, such as brain, breast, gastric, liver and lung cancer.

Studies also indicate that ginsenosides ...

Ancient tablet discovered on Mount Ebal in Nablus precedes known Hebrew inscriptions

May 22, 2023 -

The tablet was inadvertently disturbed during diggings performed by Adam Zertal, a controversial archaeologist from the University of Haifa (UH) in Israel, back in 1982. Like almost all diggings, Zertal left behind piles of unearthed soil following his discovery of two altars on the mountain. One of the piles dubbed as the "east dump" apparently held the tablet that was rediscovered 37 years later.

Wet sifting on the soil at the east dump in December 2019 yielded the folded ...

May 09, 2023 -

Five stone busts from 2,600 years ago were discovered at Casas del Turunuelo, a historical monument in Guarena, southern Spain.

STUDY: Chicken bones are proof that human activities and appetites can rapidly transform the natural world

July 14, 2023 -

Originating from the jungles of Southeast Asia, the red junglefowl became one of the first domesticated chicken species after humans domesticated it about 10,000 years ago, prizing the bird for its meat and eggs. However, it was only after World War II that selective breeding techniques transformed it into the rotund, short-lived creature found in supermarkets worldwide today.

"The modern meat chicken is unrecognizable compared to its ancestors or wild counterparts," explained ...

U.K. museum claims birds are queer, dinosaurs were LGBTQ

22 days ago -

One such claim suggests that certain bird species, like pheasants, exhibit "queer" behavior by changing sex from female to male.

"Despite queer behavior in the animal kingdom being observed as far back as the 18th century, it is often ignored or hidden from the public. One example is of female pheasants changing their sex when they stop laying eggs and turn their brown feathers into the brightly colored feathering typical of males," the guide states. "Pheasants feature in ...

Leftism is the politics of weakness

2 months ago -

(Article by Luis Miguel republished from TheNewAmerican.com)

Similar descriptors of Marxism have been used before; some conservatives refer to the Left’s politics as that of grievance or of victimization. These are correct, but they do not get to the deepest level of the matter, which is that the various forms of Marxism reverse the traditional ideals of strength, success, and achievement and instead ennoble weakness and failure as the targets to which one must aspire.
