It was the final major battle of the First Crusade, and resulted in the capture of the Holy City from the Muslim Fatimid Caliphate. The crusaders then massacred large numbers of the inhabitants, Muslims and Jews alike. The siege of Jerusalem began on June 7, 1099, and lasted for eight weeks. The crusaders were outnumbered by the defenders, but they were better equipped and motivated. They also had the advantage of surprise, as the Fatimids were not expecting them to attack Jerusalem so soon. On July 15, the crusaders finally broke through the city walls and entered Jerusalem. They then proceeded to massacre the inhabitants, regardless of their religion. The streets of the city were reportedly filled with blood. The conquest of Jerusalem was a major turning point in the history of the Crusades. It gave the crusaders control of the Holy City, and it also helped to legitimize their cause in the eyes of the Christian world. However, the massacre of the inhabitants of Jerusalem also tarnish...

Derived Human Dosing of Mouse Enhancement Supplement | Thrivous® This article makes a number of claims about the efficacy of a multi-ingredient dietary supplement that has been shown to enhance the cognition and longevity of mice. The author of the article, Lincoln Cannon, suggests that this supplement could have similar benefits for humans. - However, there are a number of problems with the article's claims. First, the author does not provide any evidence to support the claim that the supplement is effective in humans. The only evidence that is presented is from mouse studies. It is well-known that what works in mice does not always work in humans, so it is not possible to say for sure that this supplement would be effective in humans. - Second, the author's recommendations for the dosage of the supplement are based on a simple calculation that multiplies the mouse dose by a factor of 69.44445. This calculation does not take into account the fact that humans and mice metaboliz...

There is evidence that the Republican Party is radicalizing youth in the United States . This is happening through a number of factors, including: The rise of right-wing media outlets and social media platforms that spread misinformation and conspiracy theories. The increasing polarization of American politics, which has made it more difficult for young people to find common ground with people who have different political views. The decline of trust in traditional institutions, such as the media and government, which has led young people to turn to alternative sources of information that may be more radical. These factors have created an environment in which young people are more susceptible to being radicalized by extremist ideologies. This is particularly true for young people who are already feeling alienated or marginalized, such as those who are struggling with their identity or who have experienced trauma. What specific groups are radicalizing U. S. youth?  There are a number...

The Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model is a pair of first-order nonlinear differential equations that describe the dynamics of two interacting populations, one a predator and the other its prey. The equations are: x' = ax - bxy y' = dy - cyx   where: x is the population of the prey y is the population of the predator a and b are positive constants that represent the intrinsic growth rate of the prey and the rate at which the predator kills the prey, respectively d and c are positive constants that represent the intrinsic death rate of the predator and the rate at which the predator reproduces, respectively The equations can be interpreted as follows: The first equation states that the rate of change of the prey population is proportional to its size, but is decreased by the rate at which the predators kill the prey. The second equation states that the rate of change of the predator population is proportional to the number of prey it kills, b...
