Our Immune System Is At Its Peak When We’re Young, But After A Certain Age, It Declines And It Becomes

Smh 12 year olds these days have no manners. I want to be on your side

Face details from William Adolphe Bouguereau’s paintings, every single one of them are a unique example of immortality through art.

“ Immediately his reason went away. The brightness of this sun of a crepe vanishes; All chaos rolled in this intelligence, Temple once alive, full of order and opulence, Under the ceilings of which so much pomp had him. Silence and night settled in him, as in a vault whose key is lost. From that time he was like the beasts of the street, And when he went away without seeing anything, through the fields, without distinguishing the summers of the winters, Dirty, useless and ugly as a worn thing, He made children the joy and laughter.”

“Often, to amuse themselves, the men of a crew Catch albatrosses, those vast sea birds That indolently follow a ship As it glides over the deep, briny sea. Scarcely have they placed them on the deck Than these kings of the sky, clumsy, ashamed, Pathetically let their great white wings Drag beside them like oars.

That winged voyager, how weak and gauche he is, So beautiful before, now comic and ugly! One man worries his beak with a stubby clay pipe; Another limps, mimics the cripple who once flew! “

Perseus and Andromeda, 1891, by Frederic Leighton (1830-1896).

This painting depicts the Greek myth of Andromeda. Andromeda was the daughter of the King and Queen of Ethiopia. Her mother made the bold claim that her daughter was more beautiful than any sea nymph. Once hearing this, the sea nymphs called on their father Poseidon to take control of a sea monster, and attack the Ethiopian kingdom. Seeing no alternative, the King and Queen chained their daughter to a rock, sacrificing her.

Heroically, Perseus was flying his famed winged horse Pegasus nearby, and came to save Andromeda by slaying the beast. Perseus and Andromeda then fell in love.

Leighton portrays the moment in which Perseus, seen flying above, shooting arrows at the beast. Andromeda stands helpless and contorted under threat.

The earliest instances of witches (to my brief google research) dates back to the Neolithic time period where they had cave paintings about them in France 🤔🤔

Witchcraft: White People & Cultural Appropriation

A troubling theme among today’s younger society is witchcraft. Obviously, each to their own, however in some cases this is becoming a tool being used to harm others, specifically people of colour.

Considering witchcraft and such are predominantly white folk practices, who’s to say white supremacist extremists are not using it against innocent people of colour?

Witchcraft was originally started in Africa, through sangormas and witch doctors, adopted and butchered by white colonialists and turned into a practice of evil.

White people have ruined the once pure practice of witchcraft through years of appropriation of our African spiritual culture, and used it against us to aid in the destruction of black african society and sangorma ritual. Almost all sangormas have been whiped out.

We need to stand up against this evil my peers, we are strong together. We will win this fight

Stem cells restore function in primate heart-failure study

Murry said the goal of his group's research is to develop a treatment that could be given to people shortly after a heart attack to prevent heart failure. Because heart cells are long-lived there should be no need for additional treatments, he said.

Researchers at UW Medicine in Seattle have successfully used human stem cells to restore heart function in monkeys with heart failure. The findings suggest that the technique will be effective in patients with heart failure, the leading cause of death in the world.

“The cells form new muscle that integrates into heart so that it pumps vigorously again,” said Dr. Charles “Chuck” Murry, professor of pathology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is also a professor of medicine in the Division of Cardiology, and of bioengineering. He is the director of the UW Medicine Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine and was the senior leader of this research project.

“In some animals” Murry said, the cells returned the hearts’ functioning to better than 90 percent of normal.“ Murry and his colleagues report their findings in the July 2 issue of the journal Nature Biotechnology. The paper’s lead authors are Drs. Yen-Wen Liu, Billy Chen and Xiulan Yang.
