Hope Jewish hostages held by Hamas could be released in coming days

"Attacks On US Forces Essential To Stop Bloodbath In Gaza": Hezbollah Leader
The second-in-command of the Lebanese resistance says Israel would have 'collapsed within days' of 7 October were it not for the support of the US...
In an extensive interview with Spanish daily El Mundo, the Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem, said that attacking US positions in West Asia is “essential” to stop the mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza due to the unfettered support given by Washington to Tel Aviv.
“It is the [western] axis that supports the occupation, legitimizes the murder of children and women, the destruction of hospitals, and grants immunity to Israel to continue its massacres.

These Asian long-horned ticks, found only in the U.S. for the first time in 2017, have now been discovered on pets, livestock, wildlife, and people across 19 U.S. states, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warning.

For the first time, Researchers have printed a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons
Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments, and tendons for the very first time, representing a major leap forward in 3D printing technology.
It’s worth noting that the various parts of the hand were printed simultaneously, and not cobbled together after the fact, as indicated in a research journal published in Nature.
Great news, for sure.
So much news I don’t see on the msm. Thank you. 😊
