    According to a statement released by Peking University, researchers led by Huang Yani and Pang Yuhong of Peking University analyzed the complete genomes of 58 individuals whose remains were recovered from central China's Baligang site. This Neolithic site is situated between the Yellow River basin to the north, where early farmers grew millet, and the Yangtze River basin to the south, where people planted rice. The DNA study suggests that in the early Neolithic period, the Baligang population comprised a mix of northern and southern East Asian ancestry. Then, some 4,200 years ago, there was an increase in people bearing...

    “Jesus answered and was saying to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel’” (John 5:19–20). For a mere man to claim to be God was, to the Jews, outrageous blasphemy. Therefore if they had misunderstood Him, Jesus surely would...

    ashington state's attempt to become an abortion pill vendor has allegedly failed after it spent millions to stockpile the drugs, which are soon set to expire. Key Takeaways: * A recent op-ed from an abortion provider laments the fact that Washington state stockpiled a large number of abortion pills that are set to expire soon. * The state reportedly paid a higher rate for the drugs than abortion providers, and a statute requires the state to sell the drugs at the state's cost plus a handling fee; this has made it difficult for the state to offload the drugs to...

    The Federal Budget Balance, a key indicator of the health of the U.S. economy, has reported a significant swing into surplus territory. The actual figure for the month came in at $198.0 billion, a stark contrast to the previous month’s deficit of $345.0 billion. This substantial change in the budget balance has exceeded all expectations. Analysts had been forecasting a continued deficit, making this surplus a welcome surprise. The shift from a hefty deficit to a surplus indicates a robust increase in the federal government’s income relative to its expenditure for the reported month. The surplus of $198.0 billion not...

    Cook County will now prohibit the use of county owned property, resources, and personnel for civil immigration enforcement. Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said the executive order is yet another move to safeguard against federal immigration enforcement she said has “instilled fear rather than promote fairness and justice.” Agents have been prohibited from using county facilities and personnel time for ICE investigations without a criminal warrant since an ordinance was put in place in 2011. “It is critical that the government’s interactions with the public adhere to our nation’s laws and values,” Preckwinkle said in a statement Thursday. “Yet,...

    Air travel has, in recent years, already gotten far less pleasant than it used to be just a decade or two ago: you’ve got the hassle of TSA lines, tiny seats (unless you want to pay for one of the endless upgrades offered), airport food that costs more than a car payment, and other inconveniences. Still, we do it because it’s the fastest way to travel and we want to see our families and/or go on vacation. But imagine if you were strolling about the concourse and suddenly you heard pro-Hamas messages being blasted over the PA system? That’s exactly...

    Rest assured that Gov. JB Pritzker’s $1.4 million gambling win last year didn’t snatch away state tax revenue from any Illinois casino. The billionaire Democrat’s surprise windfall came from Las Vegas blackjack tables, Pritzker said Thursday, a day after his hot streak was revealed in 2024 income tax returns released by his political campaign. “I was incredibly lucky,” a smiling Pritzker said while being quizzed by reporters on his jackpot during an otherwise somber Loop press conference about the potential deployment of troops in Chicago. “You have to be to end up ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere.” Fortune...

    NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway. They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the...
  • Bitcoin must upgrade or fall victim to quantum computing attack in 5 years

    CoinTelegraph ^ | David Carvalho
    Unless Bitcoin upgrades its core cryptography in the next five years, the trust it has built over 16 years could be wiped out by a single quantum attack. Urgent upgrades are needed to protect the world’s leading cryptocurrency. Satoshi Nakamoto changed how we define money. In response to the 2008 collapse of the financial institutions in which millions put their trust, Satoshi created a decentralized monetary system built on elliptic curve cryptography. This combination of cold math and decentralization was a powerful one, attracting not only diehard skeptics but also the world’s largest financial institutions, such as BlackRock. In the...

    Just about everywhere you look in the rich world, government finances are in ruins. France, as its debt mounts, is getting through prime ministers faster than Versailles went through wigs; on October 14th Sébastien Lecornu, the latest, proposed delaying an increase to the retirement age that was meant to restore sanity to the budget. In Japan both rival candidates for prime minister want to splash out, despite their country’s vast debts. Britain faces big tax rises to plug a hole in its budget, after welfare reforms were mostly abandoned—and despite a supposed once-and-for-all tax rise last year. Looming over everything...
