Archaeologists reveal significant find at place where Jesus ‘walked on water’

Archaeologists have discovered a 1,700-year-old stone engraving in a site with references to the New Testament, where Jesus is believed to have “walked on water.”

The volcanic artifact engraved with Ancient Greek inscriptions can give us new insight into the boundaries of the Roman Empire.

It was discovered in Upper Galilee at Abel Beth Maacah and it is believed to have marked the territory of two previously unknown towns, Tirathas and Golgol, possibly linked to biblical places Gilgal and Golgotha.

Gilgal is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as an Israelite site, while Golgotha is known as the place where Jesus was crucified. Turritha, cited in 19th-century Lebanon, could potentially be the forgotten location of Tirathas.

The discovery suggests that the Roman reach was broader than we have assumed so far.

The stone talks of Caesar Marcus Aurelius Alexander and mentions four people who were managing Rome’s territories at the time.

Professor Uzi of Hebrew University told Mirror: “Finding a boundary stone like this not only sheds light on ancient land ownership and taxation but also provides a tangible connection to the lives of individuals who navigated these complex systems nearly two millennia ago.”

Archaeologists also uncovered a 1,500-year-old amulet in Galilee known as “Solomon’s Seal,” believed to protect women and children from evil spirits.

In a separate discovery, as remarkable as the ones above, archaeologists found a religious shine in Jerusalem untouched for over 3,000 years, believed to be sealed by the ancestors of Jesus.

The shrine, located into the rock on the eastern slope of the City of David, close to Temple Mount, includes eight rooms, a standing stone, and an altar.

The importance of these discoveries is immense as it provides fresh perspectives of the historical and biblical context of the area. It also reshapes our knowledge of Jesus’ time.

Essential vitamins for strong and cramp-free legs

With age come certain health difficulties most seniors experience, including leg weakness and cramps.

Sometimes, even the slightest movements feel like more than the body can handle.

These common issues, however, are not solely related to age as many believe. The truth is that it has to do a lot with what is missing in a person’s diet.

The good news is that adding specific nutrients to your diet can make a big difference, helping to combat weakness and keep your legs cramp-free.

1. Vitamin D – The Strength Stabilizer

According to NHS, Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, two essential nutrients for healthy bones, teeth and muscles.

Studies suggest that almost 60% of older adults lack sufficient levels of Vitamin D. Taking a daily dose of 800 to 2000 IU of vitamin D3 supplements can reduce the risks of fall by 25%.

Except for supplements, you can increase the intake of Vitamin D through sun exposure and consuming fish like salmon.

2. Magnesium – Nature’s Muscle Soother

One possible reason for leg cramps may be magnesium deficiency. This mineral helps relax your muscles and reduce cramp triggers at the cellular level.

To restore muscle balance, aim for 320 to 420mg of magnesium daily.

Great sources of this mineral include spinach, pumpkin seeds, avocado, edamame, tofu, and chia seeds.

3. Vitamin B12 – The Nerve Connector

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, along with vitamins B1 and B6, is essential for nerve health. They help in the healing of nerve damage and relieve nerve damage symptoms like pamamanhid (numbness) and tusok-tusok (tingling).

4. Collagen – The Structural Support

Collagen is a protein mainly of amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. It is found in connective tissue, skin, tendons, bones, and cartilage. However, over time, collagen production drops, reducing cushioning in joints and weakening connective tissues.

This is why it’s essential to increase your collagen intake by taking hydrolyzed collagen peptides with vitamin C to improve absorption, drinking bone broth, or eating collagen-rich foods like chicken skin and oily fish.

5. Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Inflammation’s Opponent

A study published in Circulation Research found that fish oil supplements with a specific omega-3 formula can lower inflammation by increasing molecules that control certain blood functions.

Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include sardines, wild-caught salmon, algae-based oils, and fish oil supplements enriched with vitamin E.

6. Zinc – The Muscle Builder

Healthline states that zinc “plays a key role in skin health, immune function, and cell growth and may protect against acne, inflammation, and other conditions.”

It also acts as an antioxidant, protect cells from damage, and provides a normal functioning of your immune system.

Adults should include 15 to 30mg daily in diet diet. Foods rich in zinc are oysters, grass-fed meats, and pumpkin seeds among the rest.

7. Vitamin K2 – The Calcium Traffic Controller

K2 directs calcium to the bones, preventing it from building up in the blood vessels or the joints.

Таке 100 to 200 mcg of MK-7, a long-lasting form of vitamin K2, or include foods like natto, aged cheeses, and butter from grass-fed cows.

8. Selenium – The Cellular Defender

Selenium helps support glutathione peroxidase, a powerful enzyme that protects cells, and enhances thyroid function.

The full daily requirement of selenium can be provided by consuming two Brazil nuts per day. For better antioxidant benefits, pair it with Vitamin E.

Air India pilot’s final efforts may have saved thousands

Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, the pilot on board the Air India flight that crashed and claimed the lives of 241 people, with only one person escaping death, may have made a last-ditch heroic act in an attempt to save thousands of lives.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed less than a minute after taking off from Ahmedabad, India.

Days following the tragedy, hundreds gathered in Mumbai to honor Captain Sabharwal whose final act before the fatal crash limited causalities on the ground.

Seconds after takeoff, he made a mayday call.

“Mayday… no thrust, losing power, unable to lift,” his final message to air traffic control said.

The plane crashed into a medical college hostel, killing a number of people on the ground, as well as those on board.

However, had it not been for the pilot’s final efforts, the death toll could be significantly higher.

Allegedly, the pilot made a split-second decision to avoid the Civil Hospital Ahmedabad, located just over 5km away from Ahmedabad airport.

The medical facility reportedly has over 3,000 beds, so if the plane had crashed there, the loss of lives could have been far greater than what actually occurred.

“Air India AI-171 crashed just 1.7 km from the Ahmedabad airport. It crashed in a somewhat loosely populated area which has doctor’s hostels and mess for medical students of BJMC and Civil Hospital Ahmedabad,” a person wrote on Reddit.

“Just 400 metres north of the crash site is a civil hospital and south just adjacent to the airport wall is a high-density residential area,” they continued.

The investigation is ongoing. However, the Independent reports that the most probable cause of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner’s sudden descent could be an “extremely rare” loss of power from both engines.

My fiancé left me and his twin daughters during our vacation

Before Matt, who was a devoted father of twin girls, my dating life was a complete mess. But once this man and his daughters became part of my world everything changed.

Matt’s wife passed away when the twins were one year old, and he had been an incredible father to them ever since, making sure they don’t miss out on anything.

His close bond with his girls spoke volumes of the man he was; committed and devoted.

One day, he and the girls stopped by my place with hand-made cards. “Dorothy, thank you for being part of our family,” they said in a single voice.

Before them, I had no idea how to be around kids, but they brought out the mother in me.

It didn’t take long before Matt proposed, and it made me the happiest woman alive.

We decided to celebrate our engagement with a nice vacation. The girls loved the idea so we started packing right away.

The trip felt like the perfect getaway for just the four of us.

We had so much fun, I felt like I never wanted it to end.

But then, on the fourth day, Matt said he wasn’t feeling well and asked me to take the girls to the pool myself. I said it was fine because I truly enjoyed being around them—it was a perfect opportunity for some girls’ time.

However, when we returned to the room some hours later, Matt wasn’t there, nor was his suitcase. Instead, there was a note on the table that read, “I have to leave. You’ll understand soon.”

My heart dropped because I had no idea what was going on. The girls kept asking about their dad and I lied to them that he had some business to do and had to return back home.

As Matt wasn’t answering his phone, I put the girls to sleep and the three of us checked out of the hotel the following morning.

On the way home, I couldn’t stop but wonder what could possibly made Matt disappear like that. I hoped there was a logical explanation behind his act.

The moment we opened the house’s door, the girls and I noticed a bundle wrapped in a blanket. It was moving.

“What could that be?” I asked my self, but then I heard the girls screaming, “It’s a puppy, it’s a puppy.”

Indeed, it was a tiny St. Bernard who poked its head out and started wagging its tail.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I used to have a dog just like that that meant the world to me. When I got closer, I noticed a note next to the dog’s blanket.

“Dorothy, I know you might be mad at me for leaving you like that, but I got a call about a St. Bernard just like the one you used to tell me about and I had to act quick and make it ours.

“This is a thank you for everything you are doing for my daughters and for being the perfect mother to them.

“Love, Matt.”

At that moment, I felt relieved. I was still very mad at Matt for scaring me to death when he vanished from the hotel, but now I knew he did it for a beautiful reason.

As the girls and I played with the puppy, Matt appeared at the door.

“Daddy, daddy, there is a puppy here. Can we keep it?” the girls asked in unison.

I looked at them and said, “Of course, that little guy is here to stay.”

Matt apologized again, and his surprise was just too sweet for me to stay mad at him.

My mom left me at 10 to raise her ‘golden son’ but my grandma made her pay for it

I haven’t seen my mother in years. For her, I was just an unwanted product of an affair and a period of her life she fought hard to forget. So, when my mom married my step-father and gave birth to a baby boy, her ‘golden son,’ she left me behind.

I was a burden she wasn’t willing to carry so she told my grandmother I was a lot to handle. Had it not been for my grandma who stepped in and took me in, I would have ended up in the foster system.

At the time, I was just 10 years old and still unable to understand why my baby brother deserved all the love and I was pushed aside.

A year after the birth of my brother, my grandma decided to try and fix things for one last time. She and I went to my mom’s for dinner, and when she saw me at the door, she just said, “Oh, you came, too.”

She didn’t expect me, she didn’t even give me a hug or told me she missed me. Nothing.

Instead, she spent the entire time talking how special her son was.

I didn’t hate the baby. He was innocent. But I admit I was jealous of him.

That was the last time I saw my mother and her family.

When I turned 33, my grandma suddenly passed away, leaving a void nothing could ever fill. I felt like my entire world shattered into a million pieces. She was the only person who loved me unconditionally and never left.

My mother didn’t attend the funeral, and it wasn’t something that surprised me because she never stayed in touch.

However, a couple of days after the funeral, she appeared at my door. She was visibly aged, and looked nothing like the woman I remembered. The only thing that was same was her calculating expression.

“Jason knows about you,” she said, without even asking me how I was doing and how I handled my grandma’s loss.

Jason was my half-brother; my mom’s ‘golden son.’

It turned out that my mom, who left me mercilessly when I was still just a child, never told her son about me. He and I only met once, during that final dinner night, when he was still just a baby.

But before her passing, my grandma made sure he learned that he had a sister. What’s more, she told him everything. How my mom left me and chose him and her new husband instead.

Jason didn’t handle the news well. He was mad at my mother for what she did and wouldn’t speak to her and she was now asking me to fix things for her.

“You abandoned me. You erased me. And now you want me to fix it?” I said.

Her tears didn’t sway me. Honestly, I couldn’t care less about that woman, but Jason was another thing. He was my brother, and I only agreed to meet him for his sake.

A few days later, we met at a nearby café. The moment he saw me, he started crying and apologizing. He said he was sorry our mother chose him over me.

I hugged him as tightly as I could. “It’s not your fault,” I said. “She could have loved us both, but she chose to leave me and hide the truth from you.”

I never made amends with my mother, the woman who hurt me deeply, and Jason wasn’t able to forgive her for not telling him I existed.

At the end, he and I remained very close, and our mother was no longer part of our story.

Fence breach at White House sparks Secret Service response

US Secret Service Uniformed Division officers responded to an individual climbing an outer fence along the South Grounds of the White House at approximately 4:20 p.m.

“The White House complex is secured by a combination of uniformed officers, special agents, mission support personnel, and advanced protective systems that ensure continuous vigilance across its 18 acres,” the statement issued by the Secret Service continued. “In line with standard Secret Service protocol, this incident—including security measures and response—will undergo a protective operations review by the agency.”

David Stanley via Storyful

The man, whose identity hasn’t been revealed, was dressed in an all-black outfit. The footage of the incident taken by a tourist showed the man climbing to the top of the fence. He was also heard saying “F–k it.”

“Saw this pretty surreal thing at the White House today. This man walked by my wife and I as we were taking pics of the White House. He walked by us and said ‘F$ck it’ and started crossing barriers until he reached the White House fence. Seeing the snipers on top scurrying around and dogs racing out on the lawn was wild,” the person who took the footage wrote on X.

A witness could be heard saying, “Bro, what are they waiting on?”

The man got stuck on the spikes at the top of the fence and started climbing down when he was swarmed by agents.

It is not certain why the man decided to climb the fence in the first place. The incident remains under a “protective operations review£ by the Secret Service, per agency protocol, the Daily Mail reported.

“This was an isolated incident, and the individual was apprehended within seconds,” a Secret Service spokesperson confirmed in a statement. “At no time was the President or White House staff in danger.”

No information regarding possible charges against the man has been released with the public.

The headteacher of the school Prince George may attend sends warning

Prince George, the eldest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, is second in line to the throne after his father, but despite the fact that he’s going to be king one day, his parents tend to provide normal childhood for him and his siblings.

However, they also make sure he is aware of the future that awaits him. So far, he has attended plenty of significant royal events, including his grandfather’s coronation where he had the role of a page boy.

July 22 will mark the young prince’s 12th birthday, but whether or not his mom and dad will reveal photos of the celebration is unknown. So far, they tended to keep those celebrations private and away from the public eye.

“They’ve always been intensely secretive and private about his birthday,” royal commentator Duncan Larcombe told Fox. “They’ve never released anything… in terms of a birthday party, and what they do is shrouded in secrecy.”

“We are starting to see [George] a lot more in public these days, but they’re still very keen on keeping him private property rather than public property,” he added.

“His parents have been incredibly hands-on, and they’ve followed a very similar upbringing Kate would have had with two siblings, a close-knit family. They’re focusing very much on the value of the family. They’ve built quite a unique family unit.”

When it comes to his future education, many believe that the Prince and Princess of Wales will choose Eton College for Prince George because they were looking around the school some time ago.

George will not attend the school until he turns 13, but children need to be registered when they turn 10.

Royal expert Jennie Bond commented on the possible decision for Prince George to attend Eton and said, “The choice of school for the children will tell us a lot about William and Catherine.”

She added: “So far, they’ve been such a hands-on parents and, personally, I think it would be sad to see them send their children away to boarding school. I would applaud a decision to keep them as day pupils at schools nearby their home. But I think both William and Catherine were happy at boarding school. I suppose it’s what they know, and perhaps they will want to pass this experience on to their children,” she told OK!

Bond continued: “I imagine it will be all or nothing – in other words, all three will go away to school, or none of them. I will be cheering loudly if they decide to keep their children close and nurture them through their adolescence as they have nurtured them through the young years.”

So, what would it indicate if George were to enroll at Eton? According to The Express’ royal correspondent, Richard Palmer, it would unexpectedly reveal significant insights into Kate’s choices and values.

“I find it fascinating because the Princess of Wales is spending so much of her life talking about giving children a better start in life, and part of that, she and her advisors have talked about reducing inequality,” Palmer said.

“And there you have her children at a fee-paying independent school, almost certain to go to an expensive fee-paying boarding school later on.”

If he doesn’t attend Eton, Prince George might opt for the prestigious Highgate School in London that his mother toured not long ago.

According to a source, Kate “spent quite a long time talking to two of the teachers there, including the Head of Drama, and was asking them about the drama curriculum and extracurricular activities and what opportunities there might be for appearing in school plays.”

The headteacher of Highgate, Adam Pettitt, issued a warning to parents, asking from them to make the most of screen-free “quality time” for their children. He also spoke of potential ban or limitation on pupils’ mobile phone use until they reach Year 10, or until they turn 14 or 15.

He argued that is it of great importance for students to engage in other activities rather than spending their time in front of a screen.

“Age-based limits on mobile phone use are a welcome first step, but how adults spend time with children is paramount,” Pettitt said, as per GB News. “We must not only limit screen time but actively promote what should replace it. Children need to play, to have protected screen-free time, and to enjoy fun, shared experiences with the adults who care for them.”

My dog’s howling made no sense — until I found out what my MIL did

Linda, my MIL, has always been complicated and very much opinionated. She would never miss a chance to make comments on how I dress my kids or how I raise them. But while I got angry because of her behavior, my husband, her only son, developed a defensive mechanism and simply ignored everything she said.

When Linda took a six-week trip to Millbrook, which she called her “soul-searching vacation,” I felt like I had finally found my peace. At the time, my father-in-law—a very reasonable man—was also away on a business trip.

When Linda finally returned and paid a visit, bragging about her trip during which she discovered her artistic side, she was met by my dog’s uncontrollable howling.

It wasn’t Daisy’s typical behavior, and I was really confused as to why she would act like that towards Linda.

But Linda seemed totally different. She didn’t make any remarks, and even said Daisy’s barking was just fine. It didn’t bother her at all because she was just a dog.

I was really confused. It was as though Linda was trying to hide something, but I had no idea what it could be.

In the days that followed, my dog’s barking and howling whenever she saw Linda became even louder. She wouldn’t even let her near the kids.

One day, Linda stopped by and asked to take the kids for the night. Honestly, I didn’t feel at peace with the idea, but she and my husband insisted so I agreed.

“Dave, there is something about your mom that angers Daisy. You know, she’s a German Shepherd and you know they can sense things people can’t,” I told my husband that day. He, however, said I was just paranoid.

As Linda and the kids left the house, Daisy stayed at the window and barked as loud as never before.

A couple of hours later, I decided to go to Linda’s place and check on the kids. I knew she would be mad when she’d see me there, but honestly, I didn’t really care.

When I entered the place, it was completely empty. But that’s when I noticed the door to Linda’s room where she kept some of my children’s toys.

I opened the door and there they were. The kids were on the floor, drawing and painting, while Linda was talking to a man in his thirties.

“Rachel, what are you doing here?” she asked, shocked and confused as though she had seen a ghost.

“Linda, who is this person,” I asked.

She explained that he was Marcus, a man she had met during her trip to Millbrook.

“But why is he here?” I demanded to know.

At first, she claimed that he was an artist she was trying to help boost his career, but eventually, she confessed that she was seeing him for the last couple of months.

She begged me not to tell Dave of her affair, but it wasn’t something I could keep a secret.

I took my kids and left.

That evening, I told Dave everything. He confronted his mother and then told everything to his father. It was a decision he had made himself.

Whether or not Linda and her husband would make amends is something I am not familiar with. I just know that Daisy could sense the scent of someone unfamiliar to her on Linda’s clothes and tried to protect our family at every cost.
