Civilians in southern Lebanon are attempting to return to their villages despite IDF warnings not to, escalating tensions amid a fragile ceasefire. The IDF has enforced a new defense line to prevent their return. ✍️ @jeremybob1 jpost.com/middle-east/ar…



🇮🇳🛢️ ANOTHER Oil Refinery on Fire. Is Someone Doing This on Purpose? Since February 28, the same day Israel and the U.S. started the war on Iran and triggered a global energy crisis: - Ecuador's largest refinery caught fire for the THIRD time in nine months - Australia's Viva Energy Geelong exploded, threatening 10% of the country's fuel supply - Russia's Nizhnekamskneftekhim plant exploded, killing 3 and injuring 70 - India's ONGC Mumbai High offshore platform caught fire, injuring 10 workers - Valero's Port Arthur, Texas refinery dumped 157,000 pounds of chemicals into the air over 10 days - India's Rajasthan refinery erupted in flames today, hours before the Prime Minister was set to inaugurate it No missiles. No drones. Just "accidents" across four continents as the world scrambled to replace Middle East supply. These could be COVERT attacks designed to pressure global energy markets and force countries that REFUSED to join the war on Iran back to the table. If the cost of everything keeps rising, governments will have no choice. The real winners are clear: - The U.S. selling record amounts of oil and gas - Israel getting more countries to share the military burden Coincidence is one thing. Six refineries across four continents in 45 days is a PATTERN.



The two-state solution remains the most viable path to a Middle East without war. Europe is the biggest supporter of the Palestinian people. Our meeting today focused on the next steps to support Gaza and the West Bank. My press remarks with @PalestinePMO and @EspenBarthEide ↓

⁉️ What is the prevailing explanation for this image?

A team of Chinese scientists and surgeons successfully conducted a minimally invasive "brain-spine interface" (BSI) surgery, restoring a paralyzed patient's ability to stand and walk within 24 hours post-surgery. The surgery, fourth of its kind for clinical proof of concept, was conducted at Shanghai's Zhongshan Hospital, but it was the world's first to enable an individual with a total paraplegia – an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities – to be able to stand and walk through BSI technology, the hospital announced on Tuesday. The patient, surnamed Lin, is a 34-year-old from south China's Guangdong Province. Two years ago, he fell from a 4-meter-high staircase, sustaining severe spinal injuries and a brain hemorrhage. Despite extensive treatment, Lin's legs remained completely paralyzed, leaving him dependent on a wheelchair. Spinal cord injury disrupts communication between the brain and the part of the spinal cord that controls walking, resulting in paralysis. During the minimally invasive surgery, two electrode chips, each about one millimeter in diameter, were implanted into the brain's motor cortex. The entire procedure, including both brain and spinal cord interventions, was completed in just four hours. Within 24 hours post-surgery and with the assistance of artificial intelligence, the patient regained leg movement. The most significant challenge of this BSI technology lies in the limited number of electrodes available for implantation in the human body and the ability to decode human movement intentions in real time. From January to February this year, the team had completed three clinical proof-of-concept surgeries. Patients with severe spinal cord injuries regained the ability to control their legs and walk within two weeks. The team will continue to optimize and iterate the technology, aiming to restore walking ability for more spinal injury patients and bring hope to millions of patients and their families worldwide.
