Imagine this happening...

The Sahara Desert, now a vast expanse of sand, wasn't always barren. Between 11,000 and 5,000 years ago, the 'Green Sahara' period saw significant rainfall and vegetation across North Africa. This dramatic shift was driven by changes in Earth's orbit, specifically its precession or "wobble", which increased summer solar radiation and strengthened monsoon patterns.

Evidence of this period includes lake sediments, Nile River runoff, and reduced dust deposition. Human populations thrived during this time, as evidenced by rock art depicting pastoral life.

This greening of the Sahara is a cyclical phenomenon. Earth's orbital changes suggest that the desert will likely experience similar periods of increased rainfall and vegetation in the future, though the exact timing remains uncertain.

Mysteries of Intelligent Creation--- One of the Masterpiece of unmatchable designer.

Now. Why this👇 isn't common?.................. ...........................................
Why others seems to lack it?
I am telling you many intuitive people find it quite baffling why others are so blunt in almost everything, even extremely educated people! Why? What thin lines that links IQs, intuition and Psychics?
Mind blocking isn't it? Now think about it! Just give it a clinical thought.

China’s new detonation engine: A supersonic jet could soon fly passengers at 3,106 mph, cutting global travel to just two hours

China has tested a groundbreaking supersonic engine that could revolutionize air travel, enabling flights from Beijing to New York in just two hours.

Developed by aerospace firm Space Transportation (Lingkong Tianxing Technology), the JinDou400 detonation ramjet engine achieved speeds of Mach 4 (3,106 mph) at altitudes above 65,600 feet during its recent test. Unlike traditional jet engines, this innovative design uses shock waves from detonation combustion, boosting the engine’s thrust-to-weight ratio, reducing costs, and simplifying its structure.

With plans to integrate this technology into its Yunxing supersonic civilian jet, Space Transportation aims to outperform retired supersonic aircraft like the Concorde.

The Yunxing jet will use boosters for vertical takeoff, accelerate to Mach 4 speeds at high altitudes, and decelerate using a liquid rocket engine for controlled vertical landings.

The company expects a commercial-ready supersonic passenger aircraft by 2027 and hopes to launch its first flights by 2030. If successful, this innovation could redefine global travel, drastically reducing flight times and opening new possibilities for high-speed point-to-point transportation.

From Press Secretary to Critic: A Look Back at Ateny Wek’s Time as Kiir's Spokesperson

By Mading Ngor

When Ateny Wek Ateny was appointed on 17 November 2013, hardly anyone predicted that he will last for nearly a decade in the position. Here was a guy who clawed his way into the heart of the Presidency by means other than being a pressman. His only qualification was a short stint as a bomb-thrower at the Citizen Newspaper with his “Beating the Drum of Truth” column. In the lead up to his appointment, he wrote an eye-catching article where he berated Presidential press for the failure to mount a robust defense of the President, calling it a ‘conspiracy.’

Viola—a known civil society advocate was tapped to the most coveted position for career journalists. I should hasten to add that I was considered for the position but luck was on Atenydior’s side.

At the start of Ateny’s tenure in 2013, I found myself in his office to setup his Skype and Gmail to get us prepared for an interview on Aljazeera Stream. We maintained some modicum of respect and friendship throughout his time as presidential spokesman. The gloves are off this week after Ateny Wek aggressed me in a comment on his wall, followed by an article published yesterday morning titled; “My Response to Mr. Mading Ngor Akec Kuai’s disparaging statement against me, in Hon. Michael Makuei’s Defense!”

In his piece, Ateny’s core argument is twofold: Defense of his record and laying of claims and personal attacks against me and Hon. Michael Makuei.

A Look Back at Ateny Wek’s Time as Kiir's Spokesperson

Ateny Wek Ateny is right to pride himself of his record as the first and longest serving press secretary to President Salva Kiir. He embraced the press with an open arm and held countless press conferences during his tenure at a critical period straddling two wars in 2013 and 2016. That’s all about my friend’s achievement as a presidential spokesman.

Truth be told, Ateny Wek is not a media practitioner in a

“After all, it’s not the end of the world.

Well, that’s just it. It is the end of the world. Every day another collapse, another catastrophe, another emergency, another tipping point, and another feeble attempt to avert the end.

No, it’s not. It’s not the end of the world. It’s the end of capitalism, the end of humanism, the end of global finance, the end of planet-gouging resource extraction, the end of neoliberalism, the end of white supremacy, the end of increasingly intensified surveillance technologies, the end of cis-hetero-normativity, the end of settler colonialism, the end of mononaturalism, and the end of patriarchy.

What’s left?

What’s left is the world. We need to save the world.

But there’s so much that needs to be destroyed to give the world a chance: global finance, liberal humanism, patriarchy, cis-hetero-normativity, settler colonialism . . . How can we ever clear away all that’s needed to save the world?

Really, it’s simple. What you think of as the world, and what you think of as desperately worthy of being saved, has already required so much destruction and annihilation. . . . So much attempted world-ending in order to “save the world.” What you think of as the end of the world is the end of “too big to fail” logic. You need to save the world, not capitalism.

What’s left?

What’s left is everything we are willing to live and die for.” -Colebrook, Claire. Who Would You Kill to Save the World? (Provocations) (pp. ix-x). Nebraska. Kindle Edition.

First of all, I apologize to Colebrook for posting the whole of her provocation. If it is a problem, I will respectfully cease and desist. It’s just that on this 3rd reading, of this book, I realize that this pretty much captures what it is that keeps drawing me back to this book. (Having just finished my second reading of it, I tried to break away. But here I am.) As I have said before, I can hardly watch The Walking Dead w/out noting the extent to which it spits in the face of producer/consumer Ca
