We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.
Scientists in Japan have developed a groundbreaking treatment that could double the average lifespan of cats, extending it from around 15 years to nearly 30 years.
The key lies in a protein called AIM (Apoptosis Inhibitor of Macrophage), discovered by Dr. Toru Miyazaki. While cats naturally produce AIM, they lack the ability to activate it effectively. This deficiency leads to the gradual buildup of waste in the kidneys, the leading cause of death in domestic cats.
Dr. Miyazaki’s team created an injectable form of activated AIM that directly restores the kidneys’ natural cleaning function. In clinical trials, cats with advanced kidney disease showed dramatic improvement after treatment. The therapy works both as a preventive measure for healthy cats and as a treatment for those already ill.
If approved, the treatment could revolutionize feline healthcare. Commercial rollout is expected to begin in Japan as early as 2025, with wider availability projected for 2027.
The research has also sparked interest for its potential applications in human medicine, as the AIM protein plays a similar waste-clearing role across species.
On this day in 1999, Marshall McDougall put together arguably the greatest individual game in baseball history 🤯
The Florida State slugger went 7-for-7 with:
⚾ 6 HR
⚾ 16 RBI
⚾ 25 total bases
All NCAA single-game records.
After singling in his first at-bat against Maryland, McDougall homered in his next SIX plate appearances, completing a “home run cycle” with a solo shot, 2-run HR, 3-run HR and grand slam in a 26-2 win.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
New record🥇
The Artemis II astronauts are now farther from Earth than humans have ever been! At 1:57 p.m. EDT, they broke the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.
Their journey around the far side of the Moon today will take them a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.
Você aí botando som de chuva pra dormir, enquanto esse gato não aceita menos que Chopin ao vivo 🎹😂
This cat won’t sleep to anything less than live Chopin.
Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad.
I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured
Every journey needs new companions.
