15 years ago, a woman in her thirties was diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer. The oncologist, José Pablo Maroto, decided to treat her with the drug temsirolimus, which worked much better than expected. The patient beat the cancer. Nine years later, bone metastasis was detected, but temsirolimus was once again effective. Now, we know why temsirolimus proved so effective in this case and in that of two other patients. This finding will allow clinicians to identify other kidney cancer patients for whom temsirolimus will likely be the ideal treatment. At the moment, drugs like temsirolimus—so-called mTOR inhibitors—are only used when...

The Bible In Paintings ~ Encouragement for Appreciating and Applying God's Word ~ The Best of EDWARD BURNE-JONES “EDWARD COLEY BURNE-JONES (1833 – 1898) was a British painter and designer associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. “Among his most significant and lasting designs are those for stained glass windows, the production of which was a revived craft during the 19th century. His designs are still to be found in churches across the UK, with examples in the US and Australia.” excerpted from Wikipedia 1 EDWARD BURNE-JONES "Angel Informing Moses of the Creation of the World"Painting Design for a Stained-Glass Window...

Believe me, I would much rather write about the Lord’s soon return than gay pride—or rather, gay depravity. God introduced the rainbow in Genesis 9. It was a part of a promise He made. A whole twisted movement hijacked it. In America, the month of June is set aside to celebrate the gay lifestyle. But let’s be honest: the Western culture demands the near-constant celebration of homosexuality every day and every month of every year. Throw in the now-celebrated trans agenda, and the culture decline is astounding. We are racing backward to the days of Noah. Trans nudity was even...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned in a television interview on Thursday that the United States could face the "collapse of NATO" or a direct conflict with Russia if Ukraine does not win the war."Is he ready to go to war? To fight, to send his kids? Are they ready to die?" Zelenskyy asked. "Because anyway, they will have to do this if NATO gets involved."Former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential election, would not commit to supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia, during a CNN town hall last month. Instead, Trump pledged to end the...

A research group has discovered that using an antibiotic to target Fusobacterium reduced the formation of lesions associated with endometriosis, a gynecological disorder characterized by endometrial tissue usually found inside the uterus being found outside it. Their findings suggest an alternative treatment for this disorder. Endometriosis affects one in ten women between the ages of 15 and 49. The disorder can cause lifelong health problems, including pelvic pain and infertility. Although it can be treated using hormone therapy and surgical resection, these procedures sometimes lead to side effects, recurrence, and a significant impact on pregnancy. The group led by Professor...

(Daily readings from the USCCB)He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. Luke 2:51Over and over, the Scriptures reveal to us that the Blessed Virgin Mary “kept all these things in her heart.” What things? She continually pondered the great mystery of the life of her Son as His sacred life unfolded before her eyes.A mother’s love is strong. Many times, a mother is more aware of the details of her child’s life than even the child itself. She is attentive, consoling, present, tender...

"In an unprecedented move, twenty armed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents carried out a raid on a gun store in Great Falls, Montana, seizing all Form 4473s – documents that record buyer’s information during firearms transactions."

"My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism" (James 2:1). Because God is impartial, we as Christians must be impartial too. People are prone to treat others differently based upon external criteria such as looks, possessions, or social status, but God is utterly impartial. He never shows favoritism and always judges righteously. Favoritism can be defined as a preferential attitude and treatment of a person or group over another having equal claims and rights. It is unjustified partiality. James 2:1-13 confronts it as sin and admonishes us to avoid...

Classic science fiction film about invaders from outer space, man eating plants! After a meteor storm hits the earth & blinds most of the people, carnivorous plants known as Triffids emerge from the craters and begin to take over the planet. Classic Sci-fi movie based on the book by John Wyndham.

The excesses of sinful people alone can imagine a war between biology and ideology. Only those obsessed with some new wave of the latest mind candy, cavorting as an ideology dare to believe that an ideology can win against the rock-solid world of biological science.

Unfortunately for Americans, this isn’t the movement of a few unhinged progressives. It’s the fruit of radicalism that we see at the very top of the Democratic Party. When the president of the free world calls parents’ opposition to this dangerous ideology “hysterical,” “ugly,” and “cruel,” we are in treacherous times indeed.

HARRISBURGH, Penn., Tuesday, June 16 -- 1 A.M. Everything looks very gloomy here. The indications are that the rebels will be within sight of Harrisburgh to-morrow, and in the absence of troops to stop the advance of the rebels, the destruction of all the bridges along the Susquehanna is inevitable. The troops, as fast as they reach this city and report for duty, are sent to the different fords on the river, where works are being constructed to prevent the crossing of the rebels. The hills on the opposite side of the river are illuminated by the fires of the...

An ex-cybercriminal has warned of the dangers children face online after getting tangled up in scams himself at the age of 12. The man in his 20s, referred to only as 'Harry', has expressed regrets over previous offences, having tricked computer gamers out of thousands during his younger years. These harmful scams took off at a time when Harry was keen to make pocket money, with no option to get a job of his own. But with children now increasingly fixated on the virtual world, he says that protections are vital to ensure they are sheltered from dark practices. 'As...
