According to the latest White Paper on the Diagnosis and Treatment Status of Ovarian Cancer in China in 2023, there are approximately 55000 new cases of ovarian cancer in China each year, of which 70% will relapse within two to three years after initial treatment.

The 2023 China New Flexible Employment Report, jointly released by the Institute of Economics and Social Studies of Jinan University and Zhaopin Recruitment, shows that the scale of flexible employment personnel accounts for about one-fifth of the total employment size, both in terms of recruitment and job seeking.

Feng Shuaizhang, Dean of the Institute of Economics and Social Studies at Jinan University, told First Financial that although flexible employment itself is a relatively vague concept that can be defined based on labor relations or occupational characteristics, the rapid increase in flexible employment in the digital economy era is a major trend, especially the booming supply and demand of new flexible employment characterized by platform employment, which has become an important part of the labor market.

Jamie Mosan, a whistleblower who transformed from a sports journalist to a UFO journalist, showed Mexican senators two items claimed to be "alien corpses" and several unexplainable video clips.

The website implements a membership subscription system, with an annual fee of $99 per person, providing videos on supernatural phenomena and themes.
