Out Of This World Lettuce Grown In Space Might Resist Astronauts Bone Loss

At the University of California-Davis, researchers are developing a genetically modified lettuce featuring a bone-growing parathyroid hormone (PTH). Microgravity disrupts the human body’s balance between growth and resorption, tipping it toward bone loss. Astronauts typically require daily injections of PTH to stimulate bone growth and address bone-density loss. Space travelers lose more than one percent of bone mass per month spent in space. “Right now, astronauts on the International Space Station have certain exercise regimens to try to maintain bone mass,” said researcher Kevin Yates....

Outfoxing Boris Yeltsin

From czars to commissars, Russian despots handled political opponents the old-fashioned way. But when a country moves from dictatorship to something more like pluralism, rivals must be treated with a degree of civility. One reliable tactic, as any Western pol knows, is to smother your enemy in your own embrace. It helps if the opponent isn’t as quick-witted as you are-or as devious. The process is called co-option, and that’s what happened to Boris Yeltsin last week....

Over 550 Billion Of Biden S Covid Relief Bill Yet To Be Released 6 Months After Passage

The unspent funds have been highly debated, with Republican critics saying it proves Biden’s relief plan was too big, while the administration argues the unspent money could help provide additional economic relief over time should further pandemic complications arise, such as virus mutations. “There are some things designed to address immediate hardship and others that are designed to allow for a multi-year policy response — they’re not really bugs, they’re features,” said Gene Sperling, who is overseeing the rescue plan for Biden....

The Democrats’ London event will look a lot like primaries being held on the same day in states like California and New York. Voters who want to participate have to first become members of DA, and then, once they show their passport, they will be allowed to vote. There will be stump speeches (read by appointed reps from each campaign) and rallying cries to convince undecided voters which candidate is the best suited to be the Democratic presidential nominee....

P.G. Wodehouse Jeeves Butler Humor

But it quickly became apparent that I’d misread that “Ohhh,” because he went on to say, “How I envy you. You have such a thrill in front of you.” And he was absolutely right. Reading Wodehouse for the first time really is a pleasure like no other. Because whatever you think it’s going to be, it’s not like that at all. I think I expected something along the lines of stories about dotty aunts, elderly earls, silly twits and poker-faced butlers engaged in fey dialogue and plots filled with mistaken identities and foolish wagers and all the other feckless sins of the English upper class....
