It’s harvest season now, and in Ukraine, it’s an... extremely difficult one. This video is from Zaporizhzhia region. Farmers are putting out a fire caused by drone debris. What’s happening with the harvest in Ukraine right now? This year, Ukraine has a good harvest - in some areas, better than expected: around 64 million tonnes of grain, including roughly 23 million tonnes of wheat, 32 million tonnes of corn, and more than 5 million tonnes of barley. Together with oilseeds, the season’s export potential exceeds 50 million tonnes. The problem is harvesting it: Russian forces continue to attack farmers and agricultural machinery. Then there is the challenge of getting the harvest out through the ports of Greater Odesa. Russia is striking them with unprecedented intensity: more than 180 attacks on port infrastructure in the first half of the year, compared with around 150 during all of last year. In a single month, 28 civilian vessels were attacked. As a result, around 90% of shipping operators have suspended port calls; foreign vessels have not entered major ports for weeks; and the largest terminals have halted purchases. The next problem is storage. If the wheat cannot be exported now, grain elevators will be full right through September-November, when the harvest of 32 million tonnes of corn begins. For Ukrainian farmers, this creates a squeeze: domestic prices are falling because there is a surplus of grain with nowhere to go, while global prices are rising at the very same moment. Additional pressure comes from the energy sector: Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid and fuel infrastructure are driving up the cost of drying and transporting grain, just as Ukrainian strikes on refineries are doing the same for Russian farmers. This front works both ways. And most importantly - the time horizon. If Ukrainian farmers cannot properly sell their 2026 harvest, they will cut spending on seeds, fertilizer, and fuel for the 2027 harvest, while some farms will reduce the amount of land they cultivate. This year’s logistics crisis becomes next year’s production crisis. The sooner Russia loses its ability to continue its aggression against Ukraine, the sooner markets and global food security will begin to recover.show more

People think that The Line has been canceled, but... what they don't understand is that they scaled the project down enough to create an elite super doomsday city run by AI, with sophisticated data centers and 500-meter-tall walls to protect them from the outside environment and weather. They raised almost a trillion dollars, and the plan was never for an open city but for a small hub for the elites during the Geophysical Event. There are many cities like this being built, some inside mountains and others funded by taxpayers through black budgets. They are preparing...show more

During periods of fasting, many people enjoy eating dates... as a gentle and natural source of energy. 🌿 But something that is often overlooked is the importance of preparing them properly before eating. Dates are a dried fruit, and along their journey—from harvesting to packaging—they may collect dust or small particles on their surface. For this reason, I like to follow a simple and mindful habit before consuming them: 1️⃣ Soak the dates in water with a little baking soda for about 10–15 minutes 2️⃣ Rinse them well with clean water 3️⃣ Allow them to dry naturally There is also another small habit I find very helpful: I never eat a date without opening it first. I gently split it, remove the pit, and take a moment to check the inside. It only takes a few seconds, but it brings a sense of care, awareness, and peace of mind—something that aligns beautifully with the spirit of fasting. 🌿show more

In Pakistan, a distressing pattern of forced repatriation of... refugees has emerged, resulting in hundreds of families forced to return toAfghanistan each day. This situation has particularly affected refugees upon their arrival in Torkham. It is disheartening to witness the disregard for human rights and international laws in Pakistan's treatment of Afghan refugees. The forced repatriation not only violates the rights of these vulnerable individuals but also undermines the principles of compassion and empathy that should guide such matters. The plight of these Afghan refugees deserves urgent attention and action from the international community. It is crucial to address this issue and ensure that the rights and well-being of refugees are protected, providing them with the necessary support and assistance during their challenging journey.show more

Maintaining muscle mass, strength, and function as we age... becomes critical to our independence and quality of life. Three terms often come up in this discussion: sarcopenia, dynapenia, and powerpenia. Understanding these concepts and their implications can reshape how we think about aging and exercise. Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function. It is defined by smaller muscles and a diminished ability to perform physical tasks. Sarcopenia is linked to frailty, mobility issues, and an increased risk of falls. However, muscle mass alone is not the most reliable indicator of functional ability. Dynapenia focuses on the loss of muscle strength, independent of muscle size. Strength is essential for tasks like lifting objects or climbing stairs. While strength is a critical component of function, it doesn’t account for the speed or explosiveness required in many real-world activities. Powerpenia is the age-related decline in muscle power, which is strength applied with speed. Power is often overlooked, yet it’s crucial for activities like rising from a chair, catching yourself from a fall, or navigating uneven terrain. Power combines strength with speed, making it the most functionally relevant metric for daily life and mobility. A recent article in Frontiers in Physiology (PMID: 10961295) highlights the critical role of muscle power in preserving functional independence. Research shows that power is more predictive of mobility, balance, and fall prevention than strength or muscle size alone. This finding shifts the focus from simply building muscle to enhancing the quality and speed of movement. Training to improve power—such as explosive movements, plyometric exercises, or lifting lighter weights quickly—can profoundly affect aging populations. The ability to generate force rapidly can mean the difference between a fall and staying upright or between dependence and independence. Sarcopenia, dynapenia, and powerpenia represent interconnected challenges of aging. However, prioritizing muscle power offers a unique opportunity to address the most functionally relevant decline. While maintaining muscle mass and strength is important, integrating power-focused training into your routine may yield the greatest benefits for preserving mobility and preventing disability.show more

NEW: CAUGHT ON CAMERA: 🚨 Palestinians trained children under... 5 years old about how to join the Palestinian resistance during a terrorist conference in Detroit, Michigan this weekend 🚨 An Instagram reel from the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), a key collaborator at this weekend’s People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, highlights the conference’s 6-part children’s program. Video from the indoctrination camp captures children in keffiyeh and Palestinian flag accessories, like young girls with small Palestine flags braided into their pigtails, gathered onstage with “educators” for “lively” chanting and singing sessions about the “Palestinian struggle” against Jews. Additional pictures reveal a female “teacher” wearing a red hijab, a keffiyeh and energetically leading an “interactive classroom lesson”, standing before a whiteboard divided into sections labeled “KNOW,” “WANT TO LEARN,” and “LEARNED,” with handwritten notes from the children. This is disgusting Islamic jihadi indoctrination of children. Someone should call CPS. The Left is teaching children to hate Jews, Christians and Trump supporters ON US SOIL! Why would any 5 year old kid need to learn about a “Palestinian struggle” aka ISLAMIC JIHAD?!?? The Palestinian people should just be honest about how they train kids to be terrorists. It’s time for President Trump to place all Palestinians on the permanent travel ban. Secretary Marco Rubio These Palestinian people and their children have no place in our country. They are a menace to the entire world. This is terrorist indoctrination. And it has no place in America.show more

I had a good meeting with U.S. Senators Lindsey... Graham and Richard Blumenthal. I’m grateful for their participation in the Ukraine Recovery Conference, as well as in the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. It is important that the United States joined this format – for the first time. Our current priority is bolstering air defense. Russia is aiming to launch attacks involving up to a thousand drones at once. That is why it is crucial to scale up protection, particularly by investing in interceptor drones. We also discussed the continued supply of weapons from the United States and joint weapons production. We are ready for different formats, including purchasing a large defense package from the United States, jointly with Europe, to protect lives. We also touched on the bill introduced by Senators Graham and Blumenthal regarding additional restrictive measures against Russia and those supporting its war effort. Without a doubt, this is exactly the kind of leverage that can bring peace closer and make sure diplomacy is not empty. Thank you for the meeting and for working together in the name of peace and security.show more

Philippine Coast Guard Discovers Undocumented Chinese Nationals Aboard Dredger... Vessel Harvest 89 On November 26, 2024, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) successfully conducted an operation that led to the discovery of thirteen undocumented Chinese nationals aboard the dredger vessel Harvest 89 that is anchored in Mariveles, Bataan. Around noon yesterday, the agent of Harvest 89 notified the PCG of the vessel's upcoming departure to its next port of call in San Felipe, Zambales, for dredging operations. However, when the PCG attempted to board the vessel for a Pre-Departure Inspection and to secure the Master's Declaration of Safe Departure (MDSD), the agent denied entry, claiming that all necessary documentation was in order. This prompted personnel from the Coast Guard Substation in Limay, Bataan, to perform a more detailed inspection. Upon boarding, the PCG composite team discovered nine undocumented Chinese crew members, all without proper documentation. Further investigations revealed that the crew manifest included only eight Filipino crew members. During a follow-up inspection, an additional four undocumented Chinese nationals were found hiding, bringing the total to thirteen. The names of the undocumented Chinese nationals are: 1. LUO XIAN MING, 30 June 1968, Age 56 2. JIANG HAI GNG, 08 July 1976, Age 48 3. CHEN YU, 06 May 1984, Age 40 4. ZHU ZHENGLI, 11 June 1965, Age 59 5. ZHOU ZHI, 13 December 1976, Age 48 6. ZHOU CHAN GGUI, 27 December 1973, Age 51 7. LI CHUN LIANG, 14 July 1979, Age 45 8. GONG QING SHAN, 24 January 1976, Age 48 9. WANG YU MAN, 08 April 1973, Age 51 10. WEI XUE YU, 07 July 1975, Age 49 11. ZHOU JIB IN, 08 December 1975, Age 49 12. CHENG QING YU, 12 May 1976, Age 48 13. HUA MING QING, 13 April 1974, Age 50 Additionally, a uniform resembling that of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was found on board, raising significant concerns regarding the intentions of these undocumented individuals. The PCG is currently coordinating with relevant government agencies to investigate the circumstances surrounding the presence of these Chinese nationals. Efforts are underway to pursue legal action and ensure the custody of these undocumented individuals. This operation underscores the Philippine Coast Guard's steadfast commitment to safeguarding our maritime borders and ensuring the safety and security of our waters. We will continue our vigilant inspections and take necessary actions to address any violations of maritime laws.show more

🚨 ANOTHER BRAND NEW VIDEO DIRECT FROM IRAN: The... call to be armed has evolved. This is no longer about small-scale tactics or asking for pistols to target low-level regime forces; it is the deployment of a next-level strategy. A highly sophisticated, organized force inside Iran is preparing for a decisive action to finish the matter. These individuals are sending videos directly to me to break through the silence and project a completely new reality on the ground. This latest footage reveals a group operating east of Tehran near Pardis and Jajrud, confidently displaying their exact GPS location before setting up a fleet of FPV and surveillance drones. Their message is absolute: the era of disorganized vigilantes playing around with guns is over. They are operating with modern tools and calculated precision. On the audio track, a mechanically disguised voice delivers a clear warning directly to the state: "This time you are in the center of our target. We are not waiting for the help of others, and we are waiting for you where you do not expect it." The message ends with the declaration "Long live Iran, Javid Shah" (Long Live the King). While they are maintaining strict operational security by keeping their exact targets and timelines secret, they promise the results will be seen soon. For the millions they represent, peaceful protest against live ammunition has proven impossible. They aren't asking for foreign boots on the ground. They are demonstrating that if Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has a force at his command, that force is intelligent, advanced, and ready. And let’s be clear: the only viable path to effectively arming and coordinating this movement is through direct alignment with the Prince and his team. They risked their lives to deliver this proof straight from the ground. More people need to amplify their call. Do not let the regime bury their bravery.show more

“A small gesture that not many noticed, but it... showed Txn’s big, kind heart,” reported one witness. Many wonder: if personal security hadn’t been prepared in advance, how could their reaction have been so fast? In the video, a mall security guard - focused only on general crowd control - was about to stop a fan with a cpf flag. But a member of Xiao Tian’s personal security immediately stepped in, allowing it to remain. In the Chinese entertainment industry, this is all about SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). Before every event, the Studio and security teams rehearse every possible scenario, from medical emergencies to “black anti” attacks. If the CPF symbol hadn’t been pre-approved by management, personal security would have removed it in seconds to protect the artist’s image. That they intervened to protect the flag shows this wasn’t a random act of kindness by one staff member - it was a coordinated decision. It reflects a deliberate, thoughtful approach from the artist and their team, showing genuine respect for their fans.show more

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy; the enchanting... town of Pitigliano boasts a rich history that spans from Bronze Age to WWII. Carved from volcanic stone, this hidden gem is located south of Montepulciano and a short distance from thermal mineral waters of Bagno San Filippo. Town’s striking landscape features cliffs that once protected the Fiora Valley, which has been home to various civilizations since 2300 BC. Pitigliano and surrounding Tuscan countryside offer unique and flavorful dishes, many of which were created through inventive use of limited ingredients. One such example is the “sfratti,” a stick-shaped biscuit filled with ground walnuts, honey, nutmeg, and orange peel, wrapped in dough. The region’s wine tradition is based on Tuscany’s white grape of choice, Trebbiano Toscano. Bianco di Pitigliano is a crisp white wine with floral and mineral notes, while other notable red wines fall under the Morellino di Scansano or Sovana DOCs. Town celebrates its wines during the SettembrediVino event, when cantinas (wine cellars) carved from stone in the cliffs of Pitigliano are opened to the public. Pitigliano’s unique features and rich history set it apart from other Italian towns. Visitors can explore artifacts from Bronze Age, Neolithic times and Copper Age, many of which are displayed in local museums. Town also features ruins of a necropolis and a temple, suggesting an Etruscan community inhabited area in 6th Century BC. However, it is believed that these settlements were destroyed by Porsenna, King of Chiusi, around 500 BC. Town’s Etruscan walls and Porta Sovana, originally built by ruling Aldobrandeschi family in medieval times, found in northwestern part of Pitigliano. Southern part of town features a late-medieval wall section, where pillars of the imposing Medicean aqueduct stand. Historic center is surrounded by fortress bastions and other fortified structures built by Orsini family, who took over after Aldobrandeschi had no male heirs. Although, Roman presence in Pitigliano is less visible, evidence of their attempts to build on the plateau in front of town remains. Fast forward to 17th Century AD, and visitors can still admire majestic Medici aqueduct in town center. The excavated roads (vie cave), are a source of intrigue for historians and archaeologists. Despite their mysterious origins, it is clear that they held significant importance, as their construction required the removal of over 40,000 tons of volcanic rock. Theories about their purpose range from sacred and funerary use to connecting paths, defensive systems or water outflow works. Pitigliano, also known as “Little Jerusalem,” became a crucial haven for Jews as early as 14th Century AD. In early 1600s, Pitigliano saw a significant influx of Jewish settlers, thanks to Ferdinando I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who made it easier for this persecuted group to find a home in the area. Jewish population grew considerably, leading to the construction of a temple in 1598 AD. Throughout history, town’s Christian and Jewish residents have shown solidarity in protecting each other, as seen during French military’s attempt to sack Ghetto in 1799 AD, and town is also notable for its role in helping Jews escape from racial laws and opposing forces during WWII. 🎥© giorgioteti (IG) #archaeohistoriesshow more
