Saudi TV Host Slams Muslims Claiming Terrorists Have Nothing to Do with Islam
by Shifra on April 10, 2016Looks like this Saudi woman will not be receiving any invitations from the Obama Regime any time soon. Via Jerusalem Post: An anchor on a Saudi television news channel this week implored her fellow Muslims to acknowledge that “we are the ones who gave birth” to the terrorists who committed recent attacks in Europe. In a fiery three-minute address allegedly interrupting routine broadcast on Sunday, the Rotana Khalijiya TV anchor Nadine Al-Budair went to task against apologists who claim terrorists have no connection to Islam or Muslims…. “Whenever terrorism massacres peaceful civilians, the smart alecks and the hypocrites vie with one another in saying that these people do not represent Islam or the Muslims,” she begins, adding: “Perhaps one of...

by Shifra on March 17, 2016Your feel-good news of the day. And kudos to the U.S. Navy! Via Fox News Insider: A dog who fell off a fishing boat in the Pacific Ocean more than a month ago was found alive by Navy officials on an island off the coast of San Diego.

Tel Aviv Scientists Invent Bionic Heart Patch
by Shifra on March 16, 2016This is great news. But for anyone pushing the BDS (Boycott Divest Sanction Israel) Movement: No heart for you! Via Times of Israel: Tel Aviv University unveiled a remote-controlled, bionic heart patch, which researchers say could become a revolutionary alternative to heart transplants for patients whose hearts have been damaged by heart attacks or cardiac disease. The patch expands and contracts like a human heart, but regulates itself like a machine and can be paced and programmed to release drugs from afar. “It’s very science fiction, but it’s already here, and we expect it to move cardiac research forward in a big way,” said Prof. Tal Dvir, who pioneered the invention…. Until now, we could only engineer organic cardiac tissue,...

Tel Aviv U. Team Find Markers To Develop Blood Test Measuring How We Deal With Stress
by Shifra on February 25, 2016When Barack Hussein is finally out of the WH, I think our stress levels will all dramatically improve… Via Times of Israel: Adult life can be stressful, and many of us are not sure what to do about it. Well-meaning advice from friends and acquaintances like “just relax!” doesn’t necessarily help because the more we try to relax, the more stressed we get when we don’t succeed. Taking a seaside vacation is not always an option. Yet the stakes are high: Chronic stress raises our risk of infection, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, arthritis and pain. A recent study by researchers at Tel Aviv University has confirmed that for many of us, stress is not something we can simply snap out...

Researchers Find a Way to Use Skin Cells To Kill a Brain Cancer
by Tammy on February 24, 2016Something new and amazing almost every day! Just 30 percent of patients with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, survive past two years because even if a surgeon removes the tumor, it is nearly impossible to get the invasive tendrils that spread into the brain and allow the tumor to grow back. Researchers at the University of North Carolina have pioneered a technique of turning skin cells into cancer-hunting stem cells that, in mice, found and killed remnant brain tumor cells. Glioblastomas are aggressive, fast-growing tumors that form astrocytes, cells that make up the supportive tissue of the brain. Astrocytes reproduce quickly, and are supported by a large network of blood vessels, which is why the relatively rare cancer can...

Clueless Brian Williams: MSNBC Is ‘Purveyor of Truth and Justice’
by Shifra on February 3, 2016Yes, he’s baaaack. And, as pathetically devoid of any self-awareness as ever… Via NewsBusters: A totally clueless Brian Williams on Monday night warned MSNBC viewers to not fall for false information as Iowa caucus results rolled in. The man who became known for spinning vast numbers of falsehoods while anchor at NBC News ominously began, “There’s going to be some data floating around, especially the internet tonight.” He continued, “The first wave of that data is notoriously suspect. So, don’t believe everything you see and hear tonight.” With no self-awareness, Williams proclaimed, “We hopefully will be the purveyors of truth and justice here.”….

Video: German Teen Climbs Egyptian Pyramid… Illegally
by Shifra on January 31, 2016I’ve always wanted to visit the Pyramids. Although this is not quite what I had in mind. Via USA Today: “I can’t describe it in words … It was really unbelievable for me. It was absolutely amazing.” That’s how 18-year-old Andrej Ciesielski describes his incredible, yet illegal, climb to the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza in broad daylight on Jan. 18. The German tourist, who writes about the experience on his blog, says he first visited Cairo before hiring a taxi to take him to Giza. Though climbing the oldest and largest of the three pyramids could result in a three-year jail term, or something far worse if he lost his footing, “I thought the photos would be...

January 24,1984: Steve Jobs Introduces Macintosh
by Shifra on January 24, 2016Doesn’t it seem like yesterday? Via CBS News: January 24th, 1984, 32 years ago today … the day Apple delivered on a promise it made in a Super Bowl commercial just two days earlier…. At $2,500, consumers found that original Macintosh too expensive for what it could actually do. Sales fell short of expectations. And in little more than a year, Jobs was effectively forced to leave the company…. On the verge of bankruptcy in 1997, Apple brought Jobs back — and what followed was a seemingly endless succession of successful Apple products, continuing up to Jobs’ death in 2011 — and beyond…. By the way, the early 1984 Macintosh computer had 0.13 MegaBytes of memory. The iPhone 6S, introduced...
