The Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory - Rome

The ‘ Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory’ housed in a room of the small neo-Gothic church of the Sacred Heart of Suffrage (Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio) in Rome, Italy on March 5, 2025 is one of a kind in the world as it pretends to offer undeniable proofs of the existence of Purgatory. - Pictured: Imprint left in 1815 on a devotional book of Margherita Demmerle of the parish of Ellinghen (in Lorraine, France) by her mother-in-law who appeared thirty years after her death in 1785. The deceased appeared looking sadly at her daughter-in-law. She said ‘ I am your mother-in-law who died in childbirth 30 years ago. Go on pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Mariental and there have two Holy Masses celebrated for me’. After the pilgrimage the apparition showed up again to announce her release from Purgatory. To her daughter-in-law who, on the advice of the parish priest, asked for a sign, she placed her hand on the book ‘The imitation of Christ’, leaving the sign of the burn. Later she no longer appea

Radia's Windrunner Takes Title Of World's Largest Plane

Handout rendering showsWindRunner, a new plane being developed by Colorado-based energy startup Radia. The 108-m (356-ft) long Radia Windrunner is designed to transport cargo too big for the road, to short, semi-prepared airstrips on rough terrain. It would dwarf the majestic 84-m (275-ft) long Antonov An-225 Mriya, which is sadly no longer with us. With the notable exception of the Large Hadron Collider, there's really no machine in history with single parts larger than today's mammoth wind turbines. Some offshore turbines, for example, are being built with blades more than 140 m (459 ft) long. One of the reasons why they're not getting to this scale on dry land is that it's damn near impossible to move blades this size on the road. Size really matters in wind power, where the swept area of your turbine is the key factor in how much energy you can harvest. The tips of the blades sweep a larger area than the sections closest to the hub, so there's a disproportionate area gain to be made for every bit of lengt

At Least 3 Injured In Tel Aviv Rocket Strike

In the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, Israeli firefighters and rescue teams can be observed perched atop a partially demolished building, meticulously assessing the destruction wrought by a rocket attack launched from the Palestinian Gaza Strip. This grim incident took place in Tel Aviv on October 27, 2023. The chain of events leading to this point traces back to October 7, 2023, when Palestinian Hamas militants from Gaza executed an unprecedented attack, breaching the southern borders of Israel. In response, Israel declared war on Hamas, initiating a series of retaliatory airstrikes on Gaza. Sadly, the toll of this protracted confrontation has been devastating, claiming the lives of thousands of individuals, both Palestinian and Israeli. According to initial reports, this particular attack resulted in injuries to three people. Photo by Dima Vazinovich/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
