Science Gets Closer To Making Human-Animal Chimeras
The Conversation, Science 2.0 blogs - 13 hours ago
The recent announcement that scientists have made human-monkey embryos and cultured them in the lab for two weeks made international headlines. The technology to make animals that contain cells from other species has been available for decades and used extensively in research. These organisms are called “chimeras”. But this latest advance highlights the need to broaden the discussion around the possible benefits of such research and, specifically, how inter-species chimeric research should be conducted in future. read more
Breaking the Cycle: Joe Biden’s Bet on Afghanistan Withdrawal

For years, people of good faith have debated the efficacy of continuing military operations in Afghanistan. On one ...

The other side of higher-density living
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 13 hours ago
I note that the Biden administration is reviving one of the key policies of the Obama administration: namely, higher density housing in urban areas, at the expense of single-family dwellings. It's cited as a measure against past racism in housing allocation and use, but it ignores cold, hard reality in many areas, as we'll see. President Joe Biden wants cities to put more apartment buildings and multifamily units, such as converted garages, in areas traditionally zoned for single-family housing. As part of his $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, cities would allow for smaller...

*Little children are* *So happy and full of joy* *Closer to the Source* *©** 2021 M.N. Hopkins* *Note: This poem was inspired today while watching a very small girl perhaps one year of age with her Mother in a playground near my home. She was pointing toward the slide with such joy as a mother held her. Her joy was infectious and this reminded me of why I believe that the wee little ones are so popular and loved buy adults. They are so close to the Source of all Life which we as we grow older become more and more detached from. They are still plugged into the joy and lov...
The Frying Pan
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
In Ontario, we are now in the frying pan. The Ford government has tried to turn down the heat. But they have refused to take the pan off the stove. The *Toronto Star's* editorial page points to the Fordian lack of focus: Public health experts have been warning of something like this since at least mid-February, and the alarms got louder and louder with every passing week. Yet the government kept doing the least it thought it could get away with, until Premier Doug Ford himself admitted on Friday that “we’re losing the battle” and imposed even tighter restrictions.

CDU leadership should put up candidates in Bavaria if Markus Soeder does not stand down. Armin Laschet has zero mandate from his party to propose Markus Soeder and must be overruled if he tries to do so.
