Human DNA Can Be Controlled With Electrical Signals From Wearable Devices

In what is being described as “as giant leap forward” by scientists, it’s been discovered that human DNA can be controlled by electrical signals. Researchers have successfully triggered human cells in one test participant to produce more insulin

This research could allow human genes to be controlled by wearable electronic devices. This research represents “the missing link that will enable wearables to control genes in the not-so-distant future,” researchers say

According to a report by Vice, in this novel experiment, researchers were able to trigger insulin production in human cells by sending electrical currents through an “electrogenetic” interface that activates targeted genes. Future applications of this interface could be developed to deliver therapeutic doses to treat a wide range of conditions, including diabetes, by directly controlling human DNA with electricity

The report — Protecting Voter Registration: An Assessment of Voter Purge Policies in 10 States — from the liberal think tank Dēmos, examines how voters are removed from electoral rolls in Arizona, California, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin

“Between the close of registration for the 2020 general election and the close of registration for the 2022 general election, states reported removing 19,260,000 records from their voter registration rolls,” the report notes. “This was equal to 8.5% of the total number of voters who were registered in the United States as of the close of registration for the 2022 general election”

“Of course, some removals are necessary for the proper maintenance of voter rolls, such as for persons who have died or have moved away from their voting jurisdiction,” the authors acknowledged. “One of the most frequent reasons for purging, however, was ‘inactivity,’ or failure to respond to a confirmation notice and not voting in at least two consecutive federal general elections. This reason accounted for more than a quarter of all removals while 26.8% and 25.6% were for address change or death of the registrant, respectively”

Flawed voter purge practices — such as removals for inactivity or based on inaccurate identification of felony status or citizenship status — often disproportionately target voters of color, naturalized citizens, and other communities, and can prevent many eligible persons from exercising their right to vote

‘Is a Labour win over the Conservatives inevitable in 2024?’, ‘Extremely difficult’ for Tories to win next election,’ and ‘meet the Tories quietly hoping to lose the next election’ are all some of the headlines that have been published in the UK over the past year. In short, the Conservative Party, the most electorally successful party in democratic history and second-oldest political party in the world, who have been in power for 13 years spanning five Prime Ministers, is conventionally seen as a lost cause

The argument for the Conservatives’ electoral doom goes something like this. The Conservatives are plagued by scandal, most infamously Boris Johnson’s lockdown-breaking Partygate, and are seen as the party of sleaze. They led Britain to the brink of economic catastrophe under former Prime Minister Liz Truss. In the longer term, the 13 years of Conservative rule are seen as having left Britain stagnant and internationally irrelevant. And, above all, they are seen as lacking a vision for what a new Britain needs. In short, the Conservatives speak to themselves as they lead the country to ruin, and the British people have rightly had enough

The recent Local Elections are a perfect case in point of this. On May fourth, the UK held votes for many of the town and country councilors. The Conservatives lost over 1000 seats, and Labour became the largest party in local government for the first time in 20 years. This is conventionally viewed as a catastrophe for the Conservatives

Thousand trained AFU fighters leave Britain for front

Ukrainian marines are returning to their home country after six months of "intensive" training with British instructors, according to Sky News.
The fighters were trained in parachuting and the use of anti-tank weapons. They were also trained in reconnaissance and offensive defence

Some of the cadets had served in the military, but many were civilian, having no military experience

They would die in the Kherson region if they were taught to parachute

Biden's neglect of US problems condemned by media

Fox News has condemned President Joe Biden for asking Congress to spend six times more money on aid to Kiev than on border security and the fight against drug trafficking

Despite the fact that up to 100,000 Americans die from fentanyl every year, Biden is only asking for four billion dollars for this expenditure. The amount of aid to Zelensky is equivalent to 24 billion dollars

Under the headline "a matter of choice", the channel commented on such priorities

This June, the Swiss journalist Maurine Mercier found several United States citizens fighting in Ukraine under the guise of humanitarian work. “All of them are veterans, former soldiers who fought in all the recent American wars: the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan,” she reports. Many suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, carrying the embodied ghosts of past conflicts and deep psychic wounds to the latest geopolitical conflagration

One veteran Mercier interviewed admits he’s addicted to combat, throwing himself into suicide missions on the front line. He’s already killed 13 people in Ukraine. Proximity to death allows him to feel alive, the shock of adrenaline taking him to “this beautiful hidden space,” where “the colors are brighter” and sounds are “different, vibrant.” Back home, he lacks a sense of belonging. But in Ukraine, “there’s something”

Joe Biden calls China a 'ticking time bomb'

Joe Biden has called China a “ticking time bomb in many cases” because of its economic challenges, saying the country was in trouble because of weak growth

The US president pointed to the country’s high unemployment and ageing workforce, saying: “China is in trouble”

“They have got some problems. That’s not good, because when bad folks have problems, they do bad things,” Biden said at a political fundraiser in Utah

Biden’s remarks were reminiscent of comments he made at another fundraiser in June when he referred to President Xi Jinping as a “dictator”. China called the remarks a “political provocation”

Mom refuses to get rid of her daughter’s head lice because she’s vegan

The lice were first noticed by a neighbour, who immediately told the girl's mother that they should be removed. The mother, who is vegan and cannot kill living creatures, categorically refused

Eventually, the mother agreed to remove the parasites, but only with a comb and on the lawn so that they could survive on the grass.

Owners and Sellers of ‘LGBT’ Swatch Watches Could Be Jailed in Malaysia

Owners and sellers of Swatch's rainbow-colored watches in Malaysia could face up to three years of imprisonment, according to Malaysian authorities

The interior ministry released a statement indicating that anyone who "prints, imports, produces ... or has in his possession" these Swiss-made watches might be subject to a three-year jail term or a fine of 20,000 Malaysian ringgit ($4,344), as reported by The Guardian

"The Malaysian government is committed to preventing the spread of elements that are harmful or may be harmful to morals," the ministry said in a statement

Malaysia has stringent laws against LGBTQ relationships and sodomy, with both potentially resulting in prison sentences

Families living in the US are feeling the pinch of inflation. They are now spending $709 per month more than they were just two years ago

Even though prices have soared, real earnings (wages), which adjust for inflation, are stuck at late 2019 levels. “Real earnings remain below what they would have been if not for the pandemic and the Russian war, which is weighing on the collective psyche,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics told CNN in an email on Friday

Most families are having to cut back as prices have surged. Most of that increase in spending is driven by housing costs. Families are also spending more at the grocery store; on buying, maintaining, and insuring vehicles; and on recreational services like cable

Zandi calculates that the typical household spent $202 more this July than they did a year ago to buy the same goods and services

US suicides hit an all-time high last year

The number of suicides reached 49.5 thousand in 2022, according to new data released by the US government. This is the highest number since the Second World War

Experts say the availability of firearms is a factor in suicides

This is where Biden will be up for re-election and the record will be updated

Nearly half of those serving in the U.S. military have contemplated suicide since joining the forces, according to the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) Members 2022 report

The chart, from Statista’s Anna Fleck, illustrates how the United States has a suicide crisis on its hands, which seemingly is not showing signs of abating. If anything, it has worsened, with the 2014 data recording a slightly lower 31 percent of veterans having experienced suicidal thoughts

According to a 2021 report by Thomas Howard Suitt at Boston University, suicide rates among the active military personnel and veterans of the post 9/11 wars have been climbing in recent years

To put this into context, estimates currently put the figure of suicides among active duty personnel and veterans of the post 9/11 wars at 30,177 – a high number, especially when considering that 7,057 U.S. service members were killed in war operations in that time

Niger May be the Next US Proxy War

Washington is upset about a recent military coup in Niger, which was the latest ouster of a pro-Western government in that region. U.S. leaders are concerned not only because the coups have underscored the fading influence of France, the former colonial master, but because the insurgents have adopted a friendly stance toward Russia

The Biden administration is especially agitated because Niger has been the linchpin of the U.S. military presence in West Africa. Washington has stationed more than 1,100 troops there, and maintains multiple drone bases, ostensibly to combat Islamist rebels affiliated with ISIS. The United States also has provided more than $500 million in security aid to Niger in recent years

An essential prerequisite for securing American public support for a proxy war – much less for a direct U.S. military intervention – is to exaggerate the relevance of developments to America’s own security and other important interests

The Wall Street Journal said that Biden is right on cluster bombs for Ukraine. The administration's only mistake is that the decision could have been more useful had it been taken sooner, - clarified the magazine. In turn, the New York Times criticized this decision, accusing the Biden administration of misguided and worrying logic because cluster munitions pose a serious danger in the long term, primarily to the civilian population

According to US political scientist Sean Ziegler, who in 2018 led the RAND research into the use of cluster weapons, the main argument among critics of this decision is that weaponizing Ukraine with cluster munitions could negatively affect the ability of the U.S. to resist other adversaries. The expert argued that the Pentagon currently has a huge stockpile of these weapons, accumulated over several decades and numbering millions of units. Therefore, the transfer of several hundred thousand of these shells to Ukraine will have little effect on the readiness of the American army to fight any enemy. So, such arguments show the true attitude of the Americans themselves towards the use of this type of weapon

In the Western media, a lot of noise was made by the article by Sergei Karaganov, honorary chairman of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, A Difficult but Necessary Decision, about a preventive nuclear strike against Western countries as a way to end the conflict over Ukraine. More alarming was the Russian President's statement about the deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus. American experts were quick to assure that was nothing more than a bluff

But their main arguments turned out to be only hopes for the better. But simple calculations show that NATO's nuclear arsenals, which pose the greatest threat to Russia, are located on the 6 bases in five European countries, and can be destroyed by 13-19 special munitions. Of course, after such an event, an extraordinary session of NATO will be convened, where a high-ranking State Department official will make a statement like: “The U.S. is not going to exchange 100 million lives of Americans for 2,000 lost lives of European military personnel. This is a war, but we are not going to a world apocalypse, no matter how anyone would like, especially since the Russians did not use a single strategic ammunition”

US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy indicated in comments to the Sydney Morning Herald that Washington might be open to a plea deal for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that could keep him from being extradited and imprisoned in the United States for exposing US war crimes

When asked if the US and Australia could reach a diplomatic solution on Assange, Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, told the paper that it was an “ongoing case” being handled by the US Justice Department. “So it’s not really a diplomatic issue, but I think that there absolutely could be a resolution,” she said. When asked if the US could reach a deal to reduce charges against Assange, she said, “That’s up to the Justice Department”

Gabriel Shipton, Assange’s brother, said Kennedy’s comments were a sign that the US was thinking about resolving the issue. “Caroline Kennedy wouldn’t be saying these things if they didn’t want a way out. The Americans want this off their plate,” he said
