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)

Anti-US Running Dog Alliance!

DPRK: US Running Dogs – ROK & Neo-Nazi Ukraine – Severely Criticised! (22.10.2024)

The DPRK detective agencies’ investigation into the drones from the ROK is going on and the truth behind the despicable provocation of the ROK military gangsters will be analyzed further in detail.

No one knows how our retaliation and revenge will be completed.

A lot of political motivational rubbish sent by the ROK scum was discovered and removed in many parts of the DPRK on October 21, too.

The brute courage of the Seoul authorities to jump into fire with brushwood on their backs, far from reflecting on their conducts and being prudent, will bring the danger of destruction of all the scum. And they will be denounced by everyone else.

Master Ti Guang - Patchwork Robe

The Pure Behaviour of Ch’an Master Ti Guang [体光] (1924-2005)! [22.10.2024]

This is why Master Ti Guang had perfected the realisation of “stillness” (emptiness) and “movement” (function) – and was able to express this through a martial technique free of greed, hatred, and delusion. All year roung, Master Ti Guang wore a tattered, patchwork robe – following the Buddha’s original example of only wearing a robe constructed out of tattered clothing taken from the rotting corpses lying around in the charnel grounds of ancient India. Master Ti Guang never ate any food after noon each day. Master Ti Guang understood (and followed) all the rules and regulations governing the strict discipline of the Meditation hall. As a consequence, Master Ti Guang had stilled and expanded his mind, and manifested endless degrees of insightul wisdom throughout his life!
