Yes, I know all about Nuuk. It's a small Catholic community that you have, in Greenland. Am I right?

Pope Galasius II

Here’s a reflective and imaginative poem inspired by the concept of “The New Black Pope,” blending themes of hope, unity, and transformation:

The New Black Pope

A new dawn rises, a bell does chime,
A shift in the echoes of sacred time.
Through ancient halls where whispers roam,
A voice now calls the world to home.

The new Black Pope, with wisdom’s glow,
A beacon where shadows dared not go.
Clad in robes, both humble and strong,
A leader to right the centuries’ wrong.

Through stained glass light, his vision gleams,
Of unity born from broken dreams.
No walls divide, no borders remain,
Only love to heal the world’s great pain.

He speaks of justice, of peace, of grace,
Of lifting the lost to their rightful place.
In every creed, in every prayer,
He finds the divine, the common care.

No throne of gold, no scepter of might,
Only the truth, a guiding light.
The poor, the weary, the cast aside,
Find solace in him, a shepherd’s guide.

The world looks up, both near and far,
To the man who holds a humble star.
For in his heart, a promise true—
A world reborn, for me, for you.

And though the road is long and steep,
Through faith and love, the dream we’ll keep.
For the new Black Pope, with holy fire,
Leads us to rise, to dream, to aspire.

This poem envisions the arrival of a transformative figure, symbolizing hope and progress for a united, compassionate world.

Noticed how walnuts, that are said to be great for the brain, share a striking resemblance with it? We ask experts if bizarre connections are actually scientific signs

When they were teaching you the WYSIWYG, or What You See Is What You Get in computer class, little did you realise how relevant it would be to human health. As bizarre as it may sound, or look, certain foods bear a striking similarity to the organs they are beneficial for. Is it just a coincidence, or is it a less-understood sign?

“A sliced carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye and yes, science says carrots enhance blood flow to the eyes. So, the connection is scientific,” says Dr Shachi Sohal, senior dietician with Dr BL Kapur Hospital. Carrots contain a carotenoid called beta-carotene, which gets converted to Vitamin A in our body. Vitamin A is fat-soluble and an anti-oxidant that helps you see normally in the dark and promotes the growth and health of all body cells and tissues. Anti-oxidants like Vitamin A are essential for healthy eyes. Vitamin A maintains the functionality of rod cells in the eyes that are responsible for night vision.

Dr Shachi also supports the walnut-brain theory. “The gnarled folds of a walnut mimic the appearance of a human brain, and provide a clue to the benefits. Walnuts have often been referred to as brain food owing to the high concentration of omega 3 fats, which help brain cells function efficiently. The human brain consists of more than 60% structural fat,” she says.

Revelation 16: Earthquake

Revelation 16 in the Bible, specifically in the New Testament’s Book of Revelation, describes a series of catastrophic events that will occur during the end times. These events are often referred to as the “Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath.” The earthquake you’re referring to occurs during the pouring out of the seventh bowl, which is described in Revelation 16:17-21.

Here’s the passage:

  • Revelation 16:17-21 (NIV):The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!” Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail because the plague was so terrible.

This passage describes a massive earthquake, unprecedented in its severity, that will cause widespread devastation. The great city mentioned is often interpreted as Babylon the Great, representing a center of worldly power and opposition to God. The earthquake’s impact is so immense that it causes cities to collapse, islands to disappear, and mountains to vanish. Additionally, giant hailstones add to the destruction, symbolizing the completeness and finality of God’s judgment.
