From the sky, they look like huge, circular patterns made by aliens; but in fact, they are an age-old technique farmers have brought back to fight the climate crisis on the Andean plateaus of Puno... On the border of Peru 🇵🇪 and Bolivia 🇧🇴, the Waru Waru; an indigenous Quechua word that means ridge are once again protecting potato and quinoa crops as they did in the region 2,000 years ago. It's an ancient agricultural system or technique that involves building raised beds and irrigation channels to grow crops. The technique originated in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia around 300 BC. It employs raised beds along with proper irrigation channels to prevent damage to crops due to soil erosion during floods. Concentrating mainly on facilitating water movement and storage, this technology increases the organic content of the soil thereby making it more suitable and fertile. "It is an agricultural system that lets us face climate change, which has changed the seasons of the year. It is very beneficial in times of drought and frost," farmer Cesar Cutipa, 42, told AFP. In Puno, Peru, these strange and mysterious forms of enormous proportions have been found, and can only be seen from planes or satellite images. The origin and its antiquity are unknown. Some images remind us of the “Eye of God”, the circular image found in Caral – Supe (3000 BC) that shows the Illa Teqsi, the God of the Incas. The inner-circle represents “The eye of God” and the concentric circumference symbolizes the “phenomenal reality”, in other words, the Universe, Kawsay Pacha or “Living Cosmos”. These images are located in terraces currently used as ridges by the Puno farmers. Puno lies on Lake Titicaca about 3812m above sea level. Farmers have made six Waru Waru nearby in flood-prone fields. Furrows form a rectangular platform, where planting is done. Surrounded by water, the planting beds are up to 100m long, between 4-10m wide and 1m high. The water around the plants creates a microclimate, absorbing heat from the sun during the day and radiating it back at night to ward off frost in sub-zero temperatures. It is said that so-called Camellones or Waru Waru was a powerful technology implanted since ancient times in highlands of the Andes. Its primary purpose was to create a better cultivation environment in cold temperatures of the highland nights. The water surrounding the ridges where the yields were, allows the crops not to freeze every night when temperatures might drop down an average of 15 degrees. During the day, temperature rises due to the high plateau sun, and that water heated from sunrise to sunset emits enough heat at night, so nothing freezes in meantime. "The Waru Waru cannot flood during the rainy season because they have an intelligent drainage system that reaches the river. They have many advantages," agronomist Gaston Quispe told AFP. In 2023, when Puno suffered one of the largest periods of drought in almost six decades, Waru Waru helped farmers cope with lack of water and avoid food shortages. The area is home to mostly indigenous farming communities, mostly Quechua in Peru and up the Andes and both Quechua and Aymara in Bolivia. "We are able to live here peacefully because we have our potatoes, our quinoa and barley. We can be in peace without going to the city," said 22-year-old farmer Valeria Nahua. 🎥© conocealperu (IG) #archaeohistories

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.

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.

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.

🚨 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.

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) #archaeohistories

Facial Reconstruction of a 3,500-Year-Old Man from Blučina, Moravia, Czech Republic The Tumulus culture was the dominant material culture in Central Europe during the Middle Bronze Age. This culture, believed to have originated around 1600 BCE, is often associated with the Italo-Celtic peoples. In Moravia and Bohemia, the Tumulus culture is represented through its distinctive burial practices, including the construction of burial mounds or "tumuli," which often contain rich grave goods and skeletal remains. These burial mounds were typically placed on elevated ground. The people of Moravia and Bohemia during the Middle Bronze Age placed great importance on death rituals, and it seems that anthropophagy (cannibalism) was quite common in this period. Burial rites, as documented chiefly by the finds from Cézavy near Blucina and from Spišský Štvrtok, were often accompanied by human sacrifices. In the anthropological material unearthed in Cézavy near Blucina, we can distinguish two morphological types: one robust and the other more gracile. The robust type prevails in the largest piles of human and animal bones. Anthropophagy and burial rites combined with human sacrifices continued into the Hallstatt Period, as indicated by the finds from Stolová Hora near Mikulov in south Moravia, from the Hradisko Hill in Obřany near Brno, and from Býčí skála Cave in the Moravian Karst north of Brno. The halved human skull from Býčí skála Cave, used as a skull cup, speaks of a brutal burial rite connected with anthropophagy. Additionally, human remains with cut-off limbs and buried under piles of stones are indicative of human sacrifices. The man was gracile, with a large cranial length of 188mm, and a small cranial width of 133mm. Reconstruction commissioned by Hypercarnivore
