On Holy Saturday, millions of Poles head towards churches all over the country to bless their traditional Easter baskets.

Easter baskets usually contain eggs, bread, salt, sausages, bundt cake, dairy products and some kind of sweets. Another component of the basket is a miniature lamb, most often made of sugar, butter or dough. The basket is usually decorated with sprigs of boxwood and is lined with the traditional Polish folk fabric.

The food blessed in the church (“święconka”), remains untouched until Sunday morning, when it is shared with the relatives during Easter breakfast.

January 2018 US diplomatic cables warned of coronavirus leaking from Wuhan lab



The idea that it was just a totally natural occurrence is circumstantial. The evidence it leaked from the lab is circumstantial. Right now, the ledger on the side of it leaking from the lab is packed with bullet points and there’s almost nothing on the other side,


the Chinese government’s original story — that the virus emerged from a seafood market in Wuhan — is shaky. Research by Chinese experts published in the Lancet in January showed the first known patient, identified on Dec. 1, had no connection to the market, nor did more than one-third of the cases in the first large cluster. Also, the market didn’t sell bats.

Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises


Diaphragmatic breathing is a type of breathing exercise that helps strengthen your diaphragm
an important muscle that helps you breathe as it represents 80% of breathing.

This breathing exercise is also sometimes called( belly breathing or abdominal breathing).
When the diaphragm is functioning effectively in its role as the primary muscle of inspiration, ventilation is efficient and the oxygen consumption of the muscles of ventilation is low during relaxed (tidal) breathing.

When a patient relies substantially on the accessory muscles of inspiration, the mechanical work of breathing (oxygen consumption ) increases and the efficiency of ventilation decreases.

Controlled breathing techniques, which emphasize diaphragmatic breathing are designed to improve the efficiency of ventilation, decrease the work of breathing, increase the excursion of the diaphragm, and improve gas exchange and oxygenation.

Diaphragmatic breathing, or deep breathing,

is breathing that is done by contracting the diaphragm a muscle located horizontally between the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity Air enters the lungs, the chest does not rise and the belly expands during this type of breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing is also known scientifically as apnea
which is a natural and relaxed form of breathing in all mammals. Eupnea occurs in mammals whenever they are in a state of relaxation, i.e. when there is no clear and present danger in their environment.

Study: Zen Meditation Really Does Clear the Mind


Their scans revealed that Zen training led to different activity in a set of brain regions known as the "default network," which is linked with spontaneous bursts of thought and wandering minds. After volunteers experienced in Zen were distracted by the computer, their brains returned faster to how they were before the interruption than novice brains did. This effect was especially striking in the angular gyrus, a brain region important for processing language.

"The regular practice of meditation may enhance the capacity to limit the influence of distracting thoughts,"

New coronavirus mutation strain could threaten vaccine development



The observation of this study raised the alarm that Sars-CoV-2 mutation with varied epitope profile could arise at any time,” the researchers said. “[This] means current vaccine development against Sars-CoV-2 is at great risk of becoming futile.”

Nobel Prize laureate in medicine for his discovery of the AIDS virus said Covid19 is from Wuhan Laboratory.


Luc Antoine Montagnier is a French virologist and joint recipient with Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Harald zur Hausen of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus.



It's a sorcerer's apprentice job "

According to Professor Luc Montagnier, virologist and 2008 Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Covid-19 is "out of a Chinese laboratory with HIV DNA," reports CNews.

"The Wuhan laboratory has specialized in coronaviruses since the early 2000s. They have expertise in this field," assured Professor Montagnier during an interview with the website.

According to him, the assumption that the coronavirus spread from a wild animal market in Wuhan, China is only a "beautiful legend," ensuring that "scientific truth always ends up emerging."

The HIV sequence was allegedly inserted into the genome of the coronavirus in an attempt to make an AIDS vaccine. "It is a work of sorcerer's apprentice" underlined Mr. Montagnier.

Professor Montagnier obtained the Nobel Prize in medicine in 2008 for his discovery of the AIDS virus.

The Chinese government on its side denied Friday any "concealment" in the balance sheet of the Covid-19, after a sudden increase in the number of deaths recorded in the country.

"There has never been any cover-up and we will never allow any cover-up," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters after nearly 1,300 more people were killed in the media. Wuhan, the city where the virus first appeared in December 2019.
