Zhao Xuejun - foreign spy!

China: Foreign Use of Spy-Satellites Thwarted! (25.10.2024)

In recent years, state security bodies worked with relevant departments to handle cases in which foreign spies tried to steal secrets in China’s space sector, effectively suppressing foreign intelligence agencies’ espionage attempts, the ministry said.

State security departments will continue to use concrete measures to safeguard China’s rights, security and interests in space, it added.

Information previously published by the ministry shows that the space sector is a focal point for Western intelligence agencies that spy on China. Their agents target scientists, designers and technicians working for State-owned contractors and have turned a handful of employees into traitors, including a senior missile designer who was exposed in 2007.

The latest spy case involving China’s space industry that has been made public was disclosed in April 2023.

Zhao Xuejun, a researcher at a State-owned institute, was approached by foreign spies while he was studying overseas and then was recruited. After returning to China, he continued to work for the foreign intelligence organization and delivered a large number of classified documents.

Bristol Mass Grave - 2024

Bristol Housing Site: Disturbing Mass Grave Uncovered! (24.10.2024)

During that period, foreign fighters, largely sailors captured during conflicts with France, Spain, Holland and the early United States were held there and, it would appear, often died there.

Significantly the site’s use for this pre dates the creation of the Norman Cross camp in Huntingdonshire, which is sometimes described as the world’s first purpose built prisoner of war camp.

In the 19th century it was then used as a hospital, including in 1832 when Bristol was hit by a cholera outbreak and in 1837 it was turned into a Victorian Workhouse, which were kind of like homeless shelters but notoriously brutal, providing people with food and shelter in exchange for manual labour.

It’s thought the remains are likely to date from each of these three periods.

A statement sent to Greatest Hits Radio by housing developer Vistry, says research on the remains will “contribute to understanding of Bristol’s social and economic history”.

Shrub Ox Evolved Outside North America!

China: North American Shrub Ox Fossils Discovered in Eurasia! (24.10.2024)

Phylogenetic studies show that shrub oxen formed a sister group with musk oxen, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship between the two compared to other bovidae. 

“Building on previous research, we expanded our study to include Quaternary musk oxen and concluded that their evolution can indeed be divided into two groups: high-horned and low-horned species. These two groups migrated from Eurasia to North America during the Late Early Pleistocene to Early Middle Pleistocene, and the Late Middle Pleistocene, respectively,” Bai stated.

This research provides new material on the diversity and evolution of musk oxen and is significant for understanding faunal exchanges between Eurasia and North America during the Quaternary period.

Superbug - Linked to Rifaximin!

Australia: Research Confirms Common Antibiotic [Rifaximin] Linked to Rise of Dangerous Superbug! (24.10.2024)

Glen Carter, senior author of the study from the University of Melbourne and the Doherty Institute, said the study challenges the previously-held belief that rifaximin is low-risk for causing AMR.

“We’ve shown that rifaximin makes VRE resistant to daptomycin in a way that has not been seen before,” he said in a media release.

“It is also of concern that these daptomycin-resistant VRE might be transmitted to other patients in the hospital; a hypothesis that we are presently investigating.”

The authors of the new study said the findings highlight the critical need for effective genomics-based surveillance to detect emerging AMR.

Kim Jong Un Cares for Childred!

DPRK: Care of Young Children “Guaranteed” By Kim Jong Un! (23.10.2024)

One day in October 2014, he visited the completed baby home and the orphanage and said with satisfaction that there would be no such wonderful home for children in the world as them.

Saying that all the elements of the baby home and the orphanage are suitable for living environment and educational places, he gave precious instructions on enhancing the responsibility and role of the nursery school and kindergarten teachers, stressing that it is more important to bring up the children well than to build such establishments.

The song “We Are the Happiest in the World” is always heard at the baby home and orphanage built thanks to the paternal loving care of the General Secretary who spares nothing for the children. (End)
