From the time of Ramses II: a rare and historic burial cave was discovered in Palmahim 9/18/2022 As in Indiana Jones, photo: Emil Eljem, Israel Antiquities Authority A burial cave from the time of Pharaoh Ramses II, containing dozens of intact objects, was unexpectedly discovered in the Palmachim National Park. The cave, which was accidentally discovered by a tractor that hit a rock during development work, was breached for the first time since it was closed by people about 3,300 years ago - during the reign of King Ramses II. The objects were found on the floor of the cave as they were placed in the ancient burial ceremony. An exciting and unusual discovery in the Palmachim National Park from the time of Ramses the Great - the king, who some identify with the story of the Exodus from Egypt. During work by the Nature and Parks Authority to develop the garden last Wednesday, a tractor hit a rock, unexpectedly revealing the ceiling of an ancient burial cave. Dror Citron, inspector of the Antiquities Authority, was the first to recognize the space. Archaeologists from the Antiquities Authority were called to the place, who descended the ladder into an amazing space that seemed frozen in time. In the cave, many dozens of intact pottery and bronze vessels were placed exactly as they were placed in their place during the burial ceremony, about 3,300 years ago. These vessels were burial offerings and were buried with the dead in the belief that they would be used by them in the next world. The cave was carved in the shape of a square, and in the center of its ceiling was a pillar. Dr. Eli Yanai, Bronze Age expert at the Antiquities Authority: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime find. It's not every day that you see an Indiana Jones set - a cave with tools on the floor that haven't been touched in 3,300 years. We're talking about the Late Bronze Age." These are precisely the days of the famous king, Ramses II. The fact that the cave was sealed, and was not looted in later periods, allows us, with the scientific means available today, to extract a great deal of information from the objects and materials that survived on them, and which are not visible to the eye, including organic materials. The cave can provide We have a complete picture of the burial customs in the Late Bronze Age. In the cave, mainly dozens of pottery vessels of various sizes and shapes were left. Among them, there are deep and shallow bowls, some of which are painted red, set (bowls with a high leg) cooking pots, jugs and clay candles that contained oil for lighting ". According to Dr. Yanai, some of the jugs were produced on the coasts of Lebanon and Syria. Next to the jugs, small storage vessels were found - mainly pitchers and pitchers, which were intended to store and trade precious materials in small quantities. These vessels were imported from the area of Tyre, Sidon and other port cities on the coast of Lebanon. Also, Many pottery vessels were found that were imported from Cyprus. According to Dr. Yanai, vessels of this type were imported to Israel in large quantities, and were common by-products for burial. Next to the pottery, bronze arrowheads or spearheads were found in the cave. According to their position, they were found in garbage from organic material that did not survive. "The findings in the cave date to the 13th century BCE (Late Bronze Age 2b)," says Dr. Yanai. "During this period - during the 19th Egyptian dynasty, the days of Ramses II, there was an Egyptian administration in the land, which allowed safe conditions for trade These economic and social processes are well reflected in the finds of the cave, the pottery that was brought from Ugarit in the north, from Cyprus and the nearby coastal cities - primarily Jaffa, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gaza and Tel Aj In the short period of time before the opening was sealed, and despite security measures, one or more people entered the cave and probed at several points. The vast majority of the tools remained in place, but a number of items appeared to have been stolen. The circumstances of the case are being investigated. Eli Escozido, director of the Antiquities Authority, and Raya Shurki, director of the Nature and Parks Authority, stated: "The discovery in the Palmahim National Park is unique and particularly exciting. The rumors about the discovery of the cave spread like wildfire in the scientific world, and we receive many inquiries from researchers asking to join the expected archaeological dig. Unfortunately, in the short period of time before the cave was sealed, and despite guarding it, a number of archaeological items were stolen from the cave, and the issue is under investigation. In the coming days, we will formulate together the method of carrying out the required research and conservation at the unique site, which is a celebration of the archaeological world and the ancient history of the Land of Israel."

I never use foul language, but you... if you do, beware not to be isolated in one of British zoo's

Zoo removes five parrots because they insulted visitors "We were a little bit concerned about the children," the British zoo's director has said, referring to the animals' foul language 02 OCT 2020 - 08:47 UPDATED: 02 OCT 2020 - 10:58 UTC One of the parrots set aside for insulting visitors to Lincolnshire Zoo. STEVE NICHOLS (AP) A zoo in the United Kingdom has decided to remove five parrots from public view because they were uttering insults and swear words at visitors. "They went into a rage and they were all spouting swear words," the chief executive of the facility, in the eastern English county of Lincolnshire, England, has said. "We were a bit worried about the kids," Steve Nicholds told CNN Travel. The Friskney park, which opened in 2003 and is home to about 1,500 parrots, accepted a new group of birds on Aug. 15. Following their procedures, they were kept in quarantine in an isolated room before being reunited with the rest of the animals. According to the Lincolnshire Live website, they soon discovered that the new acquisitions, all African grey parrots, had something in common: their ability to expletive. It didn't help deter the animals when employees joked and laughed at the parrots, according to the center's manager. "Over the past 25 years, we've always accepted that parrots sometimes use language that's a little bit racy, and we've gotten used to that," Nicholds acknowledges. "But, purely by chance, we took in five in the same week and, because they were all in the same quarantine, the room filled up with foul-mouthed birds." "The more they insulted us, the more we laughed, and that motivated them to continue swearing," says the manager, who acknowledges that the birds have had their way with several visitors, and that they especially preyed on a young girl, although he assures that no one has complained to them. His concern, however, is for the younger ones. Now, the birds have been put in a room away from the public. "The intention is that, hopefully, they will learn from the other parrots around them," says Nicholds, who explains that African grey parrots have excellent vocal mimicry skills. The next step will be to release them in areas where they are separated so that, if they continue to swear, they won't resonate as much as when all five were together.

Want to repair your cells? Take them on vacation Chronic stress is a serious enemy of physiological balance; that is why taking a break is important to avoid cell damage GUILLERMO LÓPEZ LLUCH 10 SEP 2022 - 19:17 UTC We may not even realize it, but many of us live in conditions of almost continuous stress. From the moment that the alarm brings us back from the land of dreams until it is time to return there again, we are subject to different forms of stress that can affect us badly. Chronic stress is a serious enemy of physiological balance, and one of the main triggers of diseases like metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and chronic inflammation. Illnesses closely related to our life habits. That is why taking a break is important to relieve stress and repair cell damage. The question is: do we actually rest while on vacation? Or do we become even more stressed when we are rushing in the middle of a stampede, stuck in long airport lines and racing to put our umbrella on the first line of the beach? The side effects of stress We are constantly receiving information in the form of sensory stimuli from the outside, but also from the inside. This is how we detect hunger, thirst, sleepiness, pain, discomfort and more. While many of these sensations rely on nerve conduction, others are produced because our cells and organs release substances that inform other cells and organs. These substances are known as local factors and hormones. For example, when we need to react immediately to defend ourselves from danger, we release substances like adrenaline, norepinephrine and cortisol, which activate the organs so they produce a rapid response that either makes us alert or allows us to escape. These stress hormones request a response from our body, either defensive or offensive, that is necessary for survival. We notice it immediately in symptoms such as dry mouth, sweaty hands, increased heart rate or headaches. The problem is that we usually get stressed in the office, on the couch, at home, in the supermarket or even while chatting with friends. In those situations, our body receives signals of danger, but our muscles and organs do not respond to them – we neither fight nor flee. When that “contradiction” becomes permanent, it causes serious problems. Chronic stress keeps our cells in a state of continuous activation that causes molecular and cellular damage, chronic inflammatory responses and a whole list of side effects that affect our health. The solution? To loosen up a little. Necessary relaxation: the effect of endorphins and other hormones The effects of rest and relaxation on our cells are more than confirmed. The scientific evidence indicates that rest and restorative sleep help to eliminate the accumulated damage in them, and to recover the natural rhythms of sleep and wakefulness. Melatonin (the “sleep hormone”) plays an essential role here, activating the elimination of damaged cellular structures. This stops cell waste from accumulating and prevents neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, from progressing. On the other hand, a pleasant vacation will release endorphins in our body. Known as the “happy hormones,” they are small proteins that stimulate the brain’s pleasure centers. They are considered endogenous opioids, and our neurons release them when we are relaxed, when we are happy and when we exercise. Although the molecular effects of these neurotransmitters are not entirely clear, some evidence indicates that they could prevent the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Another neurotransmitter that is released when we are relaxed is serotonin, another substance known as a happy hormone. Its deficiency has been associated with multiple diseases, particularly chronic fatigue, but also dementia or serious Covid-19. Vacations improve health Taking all these factors into account, it is clear that enjoying a relaxing vacation that takes us away from the everyday stress is important to recover the physiological balance that allows us to maintain a good health. Simply lowering the levels of stress hormones, while increasing those that produce pleasure and relaxation, helps the cells eliminate accumulated damage and prevent multiple diseases. And you don’t have to go to exotic destinations or dream beaches: just put aside the pressures, rest without worries and enjoy. With that we gain a lot in health and our cells appreciate it. And when the holidays are over, it would not hurt to keep in mind how good well-organized rest is for our body.

Cruelty to animals A civilized society cannot use mistreatment as an element of entertainment. Celebration of the Toro de la Vega celebration on Tuesday in Tordesillas. MANU FERNANDEZ (AP) EL PAÍS 17 SEP 2022 - 03:00 UTC Controversy has returned to the Toro de la Vega tournament and shows what it costs to eradicate cruelty to animals in public festivities. The controversy arose after the City Council of Tordesillas (Valladolid) agreed to apply this year a new regulation that allowed the animal to be saetear with harpoons, which prompted the Ministry of Social Rights to go to the Prosecutor's Office to urge the precautionary suspension of the celebration for animal abuse. The Toro de la Vega, whose tradition dates back to the 16th century, is a tournament that until 2016 consisted of chasing and spearing a bull on horseback until it was killed. The prize went to the one who inflicted the mortal wound. After years of bitter dispute, the format was modified in 2016 in compliance with the new regulations approved by the Cortes de Castilla y León, with an absolute majority of the PP, which prohibits death or violence in this type of bullfighting festivities. In the following years, the tournament was held without injuring or killing the animal, but this year the Tordesillas City Council, also governed by the PP, authorized a new regulation that allowed the use of harpoons eight centimeters long, which is still an instrument of torture. The regulation was finally suspended by the High Court of Justice of Castilla y León at the request of the animal rights party PACMA, when the Public Prosecutor's Office had already refused to suspend the celebration as it saw no evidence of a crime. This discrepancy in the assessment reveals that the legal framework is not as clear as it should be. In a civilized society it is not tolerable to use animal abuse or suffering as an element of entertainment. But these vexations are inscribed in society, and not only in popular festivals, as evidenced by the profusion of images of extreme cruelty that are spread by social networks in accounts related to hunting. It is incongruent to demand citizens to treat their pets well, as proposed by the new animal welfare law being processed in Congress, and to encourage or tolerate a type of activity and spectacle where obvious mistreatment is practiced, even if a tradition is invoked. This is applicable to celebrations such as the bou embolat, in which fireballs are placed on the animal's horns, the bou al carrer or certain bull runs in which the animals end up in a deplorable state due to the blows they receive and the stress to which they are subjected. In Catalonia there is the paradox that bullfights were prohibited, but the running of the bulls of the bou embolat was maintained. The eight deaths and more than 20 injured, some of them minors, among the participants until Thursday have opened another debate in Valencia about the safety of this type of running of the bulls. There is an increasing need for a more precise regulatory framework to eradicate animal abuse in popular festivities. When a topic gives a lot to talk about, read everything that needs to be said.

Dart mission: NASA probe to throw asteroid Dimorphos off course 9/17/2022, 1:01:00 PM What can be done when an asteroid is headed for Earth? NASA wants a probe to collide with a minor planet to throw it off course. The collision will be streamed live. This is what it should look like: It is the first planetary defense mission in space history. On September 26, the "Dart" spacecraft is scheduled to hit the "Didymos" binary asteroid system, throwing the asteroid "Dimorphos" out of its orbit. Andrea Riley is one of those responsible for the "Double Asteroid Redirection Test" - Dart for short. Andrea Riley, NASA's Dart program director: "We're constantly on the lookout for potential new asteroids and threats. And the size of Dimorphos is in the class we're most concerned about - about 140 to 60 meters across. So this test will give us confidence that we have a defense strategy in place should a threat ever be identified.” The Dart probe was launched from California in November 2021. With the crash, NASA wants to find out whether you can really distract an asteroid from its collision course with Earth. Nancy Chabot, Director of Dart Coordination: “It's those few hundred meter objects that are known not to pose a threat in the foreseeable future, but we have currently detected less than 50 percent of them. So it makes sense to talk about this from a planetary defense perspective - something a few hundred meters across wouldn't trigger a global event. But the regional devastation could be the size of a city or a small state or a small country, and that's why it's very devastating.” Cameras on the probe are to record the impact on “Dimorphos” and send valuable data back to Earth. Elena Adams, Nasa Systems Engineer: “According to our calculations and the way we've been streaming so far, we're able to get images up to two and a half seconds before impact - or maybe even a second and a half before impact. That means you really see it in real time. You see the impact.” Millions of people can follow the first kamikaze flight in space live in front of their screens.
