Boosted Endurance Levels
Superdrol has been reported to improve endurance levels. This is vital for individuals who engage in long-duration activities, such as marathon runners, swimmers, and cyclists. Improved endurance can contribute to better performance in these physically demanding activities.
Increased Recovery Speed
Superdrol can improve the body's recovery process post-exercise. This is because it helps in repairing muscle tissues at a quicker rate, leading to reduced muscle soreness and downtime. This enables athletes to maintain consistent training schedules and increases the effectiveness of their training regimens.
Greater Lean Body Mass
With its potential to enhance muscle mass, Superdrol can also contribute to an increase in lean body mass. This is beneficial for individuals seeking to reduce body fat percentage and improve overall body composition.
Reduced Fatigue
Through its effects on endurance and recovery, Superdrol can also help reduce feelings of fatigue. This can result in increased productivity in physical activities and improved overall performance.
Boosted Red Blood Cell Production
Superdrol can stimulate the production of red blood cells, which are essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Increased oxygen delivery can improve muscular endurance and recovery.
Conclusion
Superdrol, like other performance-enhancing substances, offers various benefits including enhanced muscle mass, improved endurance, and quicker recovery times. However, it's crucial to remember that these benefits can be accompanied by potential side effects and risks. Therefore, its usage should always be under professional supervision. Further, it is important to prioritize health and well-being over performance and appearance. Proper diet, regular exercise, and adequate rest are fundamental to achieving and maintaining physical fitness and overall health.
NOTE: Superdrol is classified as a controlled substance in many countries, including the United States, and its use without a prescription is illegal. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement. The information in this article is not intended to replace professional medical advice.

Soft and Yielding.
The path seems paradoxical.
Like water, it is soft and yielding,
yet there is no better way to overcome
the stiffness and rigidity
that causes much suffering.
We intuitively know that flexibility
is more effective that stubbornness
and that tenderness is superior
to hard-heartedness,
yet our conditioned habits keep us
from acting on this knowledge.
By accepting all that seems humble and plain,
we become masters of every situation.
by opening our hearts
to all that seems painful and difficult,
we help end all suffering.
No wonder it seems paradoxical.

Living in Transit: The Thinkers of a World in Turmoil
War looms over Europe, uncertainty seeps into everyday life, and the weight of history presses upon the present. The world is burning, and yet—there are those who seek understanding, those who bury themselves in the quiet refuge of books, the dim glow of libraries, the solitude of knowledge.
This series captures the introspective minds of young academic women—readers, thinkers, seekers. They wander through old university halls, their fingers tracing the spines of forgotten books, pulling out volumes of poetry, philosophy, and psychology. They drink coffee, they drink tea, they stay up late with ink-stained fingers, trying to decipher the world through words.
They turn to Simone Weil for moral clarity, Hannah Arendt for political insight, Rilke for existential wisdom. They read Baudrillard to untangle the illusions of modernity, Byung-Chul Han to understand society’s exhaustion, Camus to grasp the absurdity of it all. They devour Celan’s poetry, searching for beauty in catastrophe.
But they do not just read—they reflect, they question, they write. Their world is one of quiet resistance, an intellectual sanctuary amidst the chaos. In their solitude, they are not alone. Across time, across history, across the pages they turn, they are in conversation with those who, too, have sought meaning in troubled times.
This is a series about thought in transit—about seeking, reading, questioning, about the relentless pursuit of knowledge when the world feels on the brink.
Where the Thinkers Go
They gather where the dust has settled,
where books whisper in the hush of halls.
Pages thin as breath, torn at the edges,
cradling centuries of questions.
They drink coffee like it’s ink,
trace words like constellations,
follow Rilke into the dusk,
where solitude hums softly in the dark.
Outside, the world is fraying—
war threading through the seams of cities,
the weight of history pressing forward.
Inside, they turn pages, searching
for answers, for solace, for fire.
And somewhere between the lines,
between time-stained margins and fading ink,
they find the ghosts of others who
once sought, once wondered, once read—
and they do not feel alone.
Three Haikus
Night falls on paper,
books stacked like silent towers,
thoughts burn in the dark.
Tea cools in the cup,
a poem lingers on lips,
war rumbles beyond.
Footsteps in silence,
the scent of old ink and dust,
pages turn like ghosts.
ooOOOoo
Reading as Resistance
These young women do not read passively. They underline, they take notes, they write in the margins. They challenge the texts and themselves. They read because the world demands it of them—because, in a time of conflict and uncertainty, thought itself is an act of resistance.
Their books are worn, their pages stained with coffee, their minds alive with the urgency of understanding.

Kate Raworth – Doughnut Economics (rethinking economic models for social and ecological justice)
Donna Haraway – Staying with the Trouble (rethinking coexistence and posthumanist futures)
The Future of Thought
These are not just books; they are weapons, tools, compasses. These women read not for escapism, but for resistance. In a time of political upheaval, climate catastrophe, and rising authoritarianism, they seek alternative visions, radical possibilities, and new ways of imagining the world.
Their books are annotated, their margins filled with questions, their reading lists always expanding. Knowledge is not just power—it is revolution.

It’s worth recalling that in December 2016, the Commissioner for Human Resources Science and Technology, H.E. Dr Martial De Paul Ikounga signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Secretary-General of the Association of African Universities (AAU), Professor Etienne Ehouan Ehile.
AAU is the voice of higher education in Africa and has been a lead agency in implementing the continental vision since its founding under the OAU. The African Union Agenda 2063 calls for an education and skills revolution to meet the human resource needs for actualising Africa’s social-economic development. As such, the African university occupies a strategic role in ensuring that our education systems are oriented towards promoting innovation, critical thinking, pan Africanism and entrepreneurial orientations while addressing Africa’s challenges and optimising on its opportunities.
The partnership between the AUC and the AAU over the last decade has witnessed the strengthening of the African higher education space through the promotion of intra-African academic mobility, harmonisation of qualifications for mutual recognition across the Member States; and promotion of a culture of continuous quality improvement through the AU’s African Quality Rating Mechanism.
The AAU has been able to mobilise African academia to appropriate the continental vision of Agenda 2063, and it has helped to build accountable leadership and quality in research and scholarship
GOAL: To increase engagements between the AAU and North America and the Diaspora
Objectives
• Mobilize funds for the advancement of Higher Education in Africa.
• Promote and develop relations between the African Academic Diaspora and African Higher Education Institutions (HEI).
• Promote sister university collaborations
• Promote and develop research and education networks among African Higher Education Institutions and their North American counterparts
• Promote corporate and non-profit America to support African Higher Education Institutions
• Sensitize potential development partners to the education needs of African HEIs
• Promote student and staff exchange
• Promote a role for Higher Education in US-Africa relations
• Develop and implement comprehensive international Initiatives for senior leadership at public research universities to facilitate seamless integration of international dimensions into the learning, discovery and engagement missions of our AAU institutions.
• Foster the development of globally competent students, internationally engaged faculty, and institutions capable of addressing global challenges.
• Identify critical issues, gather information, and create opportunities for AAU members to discuss challenges and share knowledge with their NA counterparts.
• Serve as the leading advocate for advancing the broad interests of the AAU in NA
• Support the development of innovative approaches and solutions to African Higher Education

Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait - National Portrait Gallery, London - June 27, 2026

In celebration of the Hollywood star’s 100th birthday and in association with the Marilyn Monroe estate, Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait explores the life, career and legacy of Marilyn Monroe through portraits created by some of the greatest photographers and artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Bringing together works by Andy Warhol, Pauline Boty, Marlene Dumas, James Gill, Rosalyn Drexler and Audrey Flack, alongside over 20 era-defining photographers, including Cecil Beaton, Philippe Halsman, Bernard of Hollywood, André de Dienes, Eve Arnold, Inge Morath, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Milton Greene, Sam Shaw, Richard Avedon and George Barris, the exhibition foregrounds Monroe’s collaborative approach to image making and her creative agency.
The exhibition also includes personal belongings such as scripts and clothes to enrich understanding of the woman behind the image.
From the earliest ‘cheesecake’ pin-ups made when she was a young model named Norma-Jeane, to the most poignant final photographs taken on the beach in Santa Monica in 1962, Marilyn Monroe was one of the most photographed people in the world. A defining presence in popular culture, she captivated audiences with performances in much loved films such as Some Like it Hot.
In the 1950s and 60s, Marilyn Monroe’s popularity secured her starring roles in the work of artists including Richard Hamilton, Pauline Boty and Andy Warhol, whose ‘Marilyn’ portraits are among the most highly prized works of art in the world. She continues to fascinate artists, drawn to her iconic presence and fascinating life.

"I wanted to hate the National Portrait Gallery’s new blockbuster show, Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait. It represents two things that really should be binned: anniversary exhibitions (it marks Monroe’s 100th birthday) and exhibitions of celebrity portraits. Anniversaries rarely signify anything other than the passing of time, which is an inevitable and uninteresting fact of life. As for exhibitions of celebrity photographs – they’re like anniversary shows, only with faces.
And yet … I didn’t quite hate this show, and the reason is Monroe herself. We first see her as Norma Jeane Baker, a regular-looking teenager with mousey brown hair, in a self-portrait taken in a photo booth in 1940. She then becomes the radiant, uncontainable, insanely glamorous film star, cheesecake pin-up and actor seen here in photographs, paintings, and excerpts from her films.
Evident in picture after picture, testimony after testimony, Monroe had a special, unselfconscious command of the camera, the kind of charm that could define a century. It’s amusing to see all the photographic big shots of the era, like Richard Avedon, Milton Greene, Cecil Beaton (of course there’s a wall of him – imagine an NPG show without it) and Eve Arnold try to create a Marilyn image of their own. Every single time, it’s Monroe who is in control, with the same unmistakable styling, hair, makeup, poses and pouts. This show disposes with the idea of finding a “real Marilyn” through the pictures. It’s more about the steadfastness of her agency over the decades. This exhibition gives you Monroe as she wanted to be seen.
Beyond the story about the self-creation of an American icon, there is a parallel narrative unfolding about photography and art. There’s a lot of experimentation going on with photographic techniques, from Philippe Halsman’s surrealist collages and solarisation methods, to Weegee’s use of curved lens and heat, to André de Dienes taking portraits he took of Monroe and altering them in the light of her death aged 36. There’s a deep melancholy in his visions of her as an adulated, celestial figure, an adoration of the vivacity and youth in which he, the much older male photographer and obsessed lover, sensed death. They’re some of the best works in the show.
There are paintings, too, that show how Monroe became symbolic of the midcentury US – Marilyns making their way into Pauline Boty paintings and Andy Warhol’s famous screenprint. A version also appears in the background of a Nan Goldin photograph. There are also moments of photographic history, such as when Magnum secured the exclusive rights to document the production of The Misfits, a breakthrough moment for Arnold and Inge Morath, two of nine photographers on the set. There’s also the well-known nude that almost derailed Monroe’s career. Taken before she was famous, it earned her $50. It was later appropriated – without permission or remuneration – by Hugh Hefner in Playboy as a centrefold.
The show does get dull, though, as it goes on. I wanted to see more contradictions, more slips of the mask. Why can’t we have sadness and fragility as well as dazzling performativity? I wanted to see her flaws, not in a salacious way, but because they are part of the story. The idea of Monroe deflating “like the air being let out of a balloon”, as Ed Feingersh described her in private moments, is only hinted at.
Monroe’s cheeriness, the glut of gleeful smiles, becomes overkill. And even the most charismatic celluloid figure struggles to be interesting over so many rooms of solo portraits. The smiles feel faker as you go along, but we never really get underneath them. In one of her last portraits by George Barris, taken on Santa Monica beach towards the end of her life, she seems for a fleeting moment a little less perfect, a little more ragged, crinkled, raw, tired.
Then the enormity of her death at 36 hits you – in a reappropriated paparazzi image of Monroe’s body bag being carried out of her home in Los Angeles in August 1962. Peter Blake – one of many pop artists who picked up on the Monroe motif – uses the papped picture in his 1988 collage Norma Jean Baker. This is where the show ends up for me: between the absolute aliveness of Monroe and the piercing finality of her death, which turns her back into a mere mortal. It’s a familiar tragedy of celebrity, fame and beauty, retold in a shimmer of manufactured smiles. I wanted to hate it – but I couldn’t."

The goal of this project was to asses to what extent elevated temperature and atmospheric CO2 affect rice yields, given the movement of arsenic from the bulk soil to the rhizosphere and ultimately into the rice root. To this end, Oliver studied the geochemistry of the soil and rhizosphere, specifically changes in arsenic speciation and mobility, and rice root physiology will help to understand the fate of arsenic within the soil-rice continuum.

At one time, steak used to be just steak; there was no problem understanding that. Today, it is not that simple. A quick look at the butcher’s counter will show you all the kinds of cuts you never knew about, along with fancy breeds like Kobe, Wagyu, and Angus. And then, when you thought you have finally made the decision, you are faced with two types of fed beef – the grass-fed beef and the grain-fed beef. Apart from the obvious price differences, there are a lot of dissimilarities between the two.
What is grass-fed beef?
As the name suggests, this type of beef comes from cattle that have grazed on grassy meadows their complete lives. This type of beef tends to be more expensive than their corn-fed counterparts because it takes a longer time for grass-fed cattle to reach their processing weight. Without corn or grain to bulk up the diet, this method of raising cattle is much more costly for the rancher.
What is corn-fed beef?
This type of beef comes from cattle who are initially fed grass but is later fed grain or corn. This is normally done to bulk and increase the fat to muscle ratio. This particular diet adds a lot of flavor to the beef because it is almost like feeding cakes and candies to the cow. Since grains are not typically fed to cattle, a lot of preventive antibiotics are used to keep them from getting sick.
Differences in fatty acid composition
What cows consume can have a major effect on the resulting beef’s composition, particularly when it comes to fatty acid composition. Grass-fed beef tends to contain lesser fat content than grain-fed beef, which in turn means that grass-fed beef contains lesser calories.
But the overall composition of the fatty acid is also different. Grass-fed beef contains less monounsaturated fat and contains five times more omega-3 and twice as much CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, than grain-fed beef. Both varieties contain similar amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fats.
Grass-fed beef is considered much more nutritious
Both varieties of beef contain highly concentrated amounts of nutrients like Vitamin B6, B3, and B12. They are also rich in minerals like zinc, selenium, and iron. Overall, beef contains most of the nutrients required for sustenance.
While the differences in nutrient content are not so great, grass-fed beef contains a lot of Vitamin A and E. It also has more antioxidant content than its grain-fed counterpart.
Is grass-fed beef worth the extra cost?
It is important to understand that even grain-fed beef is healthy as well. Until you overcook the dish, beef is considered to be a nutritious source of various vitamins and minerals to be a part of a healthy diet. In most countries, grass-fed beef is very expensive and might not be worth the cost for some people. Additionally, grass-fed beef tends to be leaner and has a different texture.
Even though grass-fed beef might contain more nutrients, there is no compelling differences between the two. The choice falls upon your taste, ideals, and preferences.

The Buffer tool, a geoprocessing tool in the Analysis toolbox in ArcToolbox, generates buffer polygons, or offsets, around input features at a specified distance. Buffers show the area that is within some distance of the input features. The tool is popular because the concept of buffering is easy to understand and buffering plays an important role in many geoprocessing workflows involving proximity or distance analysis (i.e., How far away are these things? or What features are within a distance of other features?). Because the Buffer tool is important in performing proximity tasks, a key goal for developers working on this tool has been to ensure that buffers accurately depict distances around features.
