Here's the science behind the health benefits of organic raw cacao nibs
A bit much of course, but let us welcome our new super food of the week. What this all means is trhat raw unproceessed cocoa is becoming readily availble for your own self processing if you want. I personally consume cocao in some form daily and generally with scant sweetening. nThe first hot drink i consume very day is a mug cocoa powder usually mixed with some honey to create a gluey paste. I now also add some monkfruit infusion as a natural sweetener. In this way i have modified a lifelong allergy condition with the monkfruit while getting a good shot of cocoa. I will lik... read more

The defeat of russia nicely informed every indigenous elite that their masters were not invulnerable at all. This certainly inspired... read more
Inspiration Strikes: How Nazi Germany Birthed China’s Anti-Ship Missiles
*Michael Peck* *Missiles, World* The first anti-ship smart bombs, invented like so many other weapons by the dark scientists of Nazi Germany, were not just deadly. They seemed inhuman. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Perhaps the biggest lesson of all is that what is new is old. With each passing year, the weapons of World War II seem closer to the era of Gettysburg and Jutland than the high-tech warfare of today. That perception can encourage an unjustified smugness. *What is that strange bomb in the sky?* That’s what the sailors of the Italian battleship *Roma* must have wondere... read more
