Prolonged Bed-Tilt Tests Effects of Gravity Upon Body!

China: Cosmoonaut Research & Training Centre Seeks Bedridden Volunteers for Up to 70,000 Yuan – No Mobile ‘Phones – Exclusions Apply! (8.5.2026)

Volunteers will be randomly assigned to either a control or exercise group and will remain in bed for about 15 to 30 days, with the total period not exceeding 60 days.

Participants must stay in either a six-degree head-down or head-up bed position while eating, sleeping and undergoing medical tests. Those in the exercise group will also complete scheduled daily workouts.

Researchers use the head-down position to mimic the redistribution of body fluids and reduced muscle activity experienced by cosmonauts in space.

The study aims to examine effects on cardiovascular function, bone density and muscle loss, and to test countermeasures for long-term missions.

US: Ongoing Analysis of – Archaeopteryx Fossil – Continues to Proves Darwin Right! (21.3.2026)

Differences in modern birds

Modern birds evolved shorter upper arm bones and specialized tertial feathers to close this gap.

Remarkably, the Chicago specimen of Archaeopteryx shows it had long tertial feathers too – something unseen in its flightless dinosaur relatives.

“Our specimen is the first Archaeopteryx that was preserved and prepared in such a way that we can see its long tertial feathers,” she noted.

These feathers, absent in closely related non-avian dinosaurs, suggest those creatures couldn’t fly.

“That tells us… Archaeopteryx could,” O’Connor added. “This also adds to evidence that suggests dinosaurs evolved flight more than once – which I think is super exciting.”

A Touching Email from Cuba – Although My Socialist Friends Are “Suffering” Due to US-Imperialsim – Here is Their Collective Response! (13.3.2026)

Each day – the sayings are changed – but are always “Socialist” (Marxist-Leninist), progressive and psychologically inspiring. It is Marxist-Leninism that we use to build our inner strength (that enables our ability to continue to suffer without giving-up) – so that we may use our advanced (proletariat) intellects to seek-out ever-more clever ways of physically working around the (illegal) US Blockade – and the related injustices emerging from the UK, and the EU. Who knows where all this will end?

He Saint’s Body Will Be Publicly Displayed For The First Time Photo: Sala Stampa For the First Time in 800 Years, the Body of Saint Francis of Assisi Will Be Displayed. Dates, Location, and Details Here | ZENIT - English

Italy: Relics of St Francis of Asisi – Placed on Display! (23.2.2026)

The story of the tomb of St. Francis, hidden for centuries beneath the main altar, lends an almost mystical undertone to this new era. After his death in 1226, the body was carefully hidden to avoid theft or desecration. It was only discovered in 1818, after a long search, and since then, several verifications have been carried out — most recently in 2015 –, which confirmed the authenticity and good state of preservation of the relics. Those bones, marked by the suffering and wounds of the Crucified One, are the physical echo of a life spent for love. The Basilica of St. Francis will become, during that month, the spiritual heart of the world. A massive influx of pilgrims from all Continents is expected. To guarantee a serene and prayerful experience, a free and mandatory reservation system has been established through the website http://www.sanfrancescovive.org, which is available in several languages.

BMA (UK): On Why The Communist Party Should Recognise the Revolutionary Nature of Genuine Buddhism! (16.2.2026)

The point is that even if the brutal capitalists take everything away from the workers (even their clothes) and lock each individual in a cell – this is the ideal conditions for in-depth meditation practice. Nothing can stop a Buddhist so committed – and it is time that the Communist Parties of the world acknowledge the importance of the Buddhist Revolutionary Method! Finally, when studying “Philosophy of Mind” I was introduced to the Western idea that the “mind” does “not exist”. Due to thousands of years of theistic theology – the West was deluded into thinking that the mind equals the disembodied spirit – and that both were “separate” from the body.
