  3. Here lies in pieces the remains of St. Saviour’s Church, a Maspeth landmark that has been rotting slowly for more than 15 years now in a forgotten corner of All Faiths Cemetery in Middle Village. For 150 years, it stood in glory on a hill in Maspeth. For much of the last 15 years, it has sat ingloriously inside two graffiti-covered, damaged tractor-trailers with flat tires. During a Dec. 4 visit to All Faiths, a QNS/Ridgewood Times reporter observed the contents — mostly moldy piles of wood filled with rusted nails — stored within the unlocked trailers, located in public view, with no gates or warning signs nearby to prohibit access. This is what remains of a years-long effort by civic leaders, including outgoing Council Member Robert Holden, to preserve a piece of local history. Under Holden’s leadership, the Juniper Park Civic Association (JPCA) led a furious battle to “save St. Saviour’s” in some capacity. Those efforts spared St. Saviour’s from the wrecking ball, leading to an agreement to have the church meticulously dismantled and catalogued, then stored away for eventual reconstruction, in a $250,000 effort. But it never happened. The church that once survived artillery fire during the Revolutionary War remains in pieces to this day, seemingly turned into an entire community’s afterthought. And Holden, who had spoken so loudly in defense of the church 15 years ago, had little to say on the topic now. When QNS reached out to him for an interview, he declined — declaring “There’s no story here.

  14. Scientists log rare case of female polar bear adopting cub: ‘They’re really good moms’ APPLE.NEWS Canadian researchers tracking bear known as X33991 noticed she had gained a second cub who likely needed help “Female polar bears are really good moms and so they’re just primed for looking after and caring for their offspring,” said Evan Richardson, a research scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. “We think if there’s a little cub that’s bawling on the coast and has lost its mother, these females just can’t help themselves but to take them on and look after them. It’s a really curious behaviour and an interesting aspect of polar bear life history.

  22. Masturbation is touching one's own genitals or other erogenous zones for sexual pleasure, a normal, healthy, and common sexual activity without physical harm, offering benefits like stress relief, mood improvement, and better sleep by releasing feel-good hormones like endorphins. While myths wrongly link it to blindness or mental issues, it's a natural way to explore your body, discover what feels good, and can even improve partnered sex, though feelings of guilt can arise from cultural or religious beliefs.
