Capital of Sudan

After 24 years of conflict between the people of Southern Sudan and the Sudanese government in an effort to create a democratic government in Khartoum, the nation's capital, a peace agreement was signed and separated North and South Sudan.

The people of the Nuba mountains, fought for South for independence; yet after the peace treaty was signed their lives became increasingly dangerous.

The development of biomimetic (synthetic methods which mimic biochemical processes) technology which interact with the wound site during early stages of key tissue repair can create a controlled microenvironment that would provide instruction and guidance to reestablish structural normalcy - or regeneration.

Scientists demonstrated limb regrowth and functional restoration of an American clawed frog's amputated hindlimb. The scientists administered a multi-drug, pro-regerative treatment delivered by a wearable bioreactor. The scientists were able to regenerate tissues of skin, bone, vasculature, and nerves.

American Clawed Frog - has the potential to regenerate limbs at a young age, but later in life does not/has the same capabilities as humans

Human application once science is refined

20% of kidneys donated each year cannot be used - often because they cannot be kept on ice for longer than a few hours, and as a result do not reach recipients in time. However, it's not long-term cryopreservation methods that are the once-impossible issue, in fact, they have been around for quite some time - decades in fact. Scientists have instead struggled with rewarming organs without causing major damage from ice or cracking.

The team at the University of Minnesota developed a nanowarming process that uniformly and rapidly warms the cryopreserved organs, as opposed to merely warming the organ at its surface.

The organs were able to be cleared of cryoprotective fluids and nanoparticles and transplanted into the lab rats. All of the rat participants were able to restore full kidney function within 30 days without additional interventions.

For human transplants, medical interventions would occur where they did not for the rat patients. These interventions include medicines and dialysis to assist the kidney for the weeks right after transplantation.

long-term organ banking could increase donor organ utilization, improve donor/recipient matching, and improve procedure preparation and scheduling. This also opens up the possibility for cryopreserving other organs.

Space junk is often sent back down to earth's surface with the intention of combustion before colliding with the earth's surface. However, particles are released into the air and cause unknown environmental pollution effects. Wood satellites, LignoSat in particular, will incinerate completely and release water vapor and carbon dioxide into earth's air.

this isnt a new means by which to influence the 3D printing market, but rather a breakthrough in the world of sustainable 3D printing

durability

the entire thing is degradable in a compost bin

most 3D printable plastic will take up to 1,000 years to decompose

you can make things with the coffee grounds, when you don't want them anymore, you can throw them back into a grinder and use the coffee grounds again - serves as a recyclable means by which to 3D print things

it will generate more energy over the course of its lifetime than other wind turbines

Transportation made easier

if everything goes to plan, the newer wind harvesting machines will be able to be built for 1/4th of the cost of standard wind turbines and cost less than 1/10th of the cost of comparable wind turbines

not necessarily replacing wind turbines, but perhaps offering up a more neighborly alternative to wind turbines

Here's another point, slightly less interesting, but still a point worth considering - it would also be interesting to look into how accessible they will make this product - will it be more affordable than cows milk? if not, I doubt many people will be interested in it.

Not necessarily something what once was impossible that is now possible, but perhaps an improvement on an already existing system - similar to the Haitian school system switch

Here is a particular water statistic I enjoy - but how much water per day does it take to produce cow-free milk from a biotech factory

This is interesting, though I'm wondering what the environmental impact looks like - specifically from a water standpoint

Scientists are engineering plants and yeasts with bovine genes to mimic key proteins responsible for the creation of cow's milk

There is a hope for improved genetics-based medicine, but it may take a while before the pangenome makes a difference in medical clinics

aim of the pangenome

The DNA that make up the pangenome is taken form 47 different individuals from different parts of the world - it is, in a sense, a human blueprint

The pangenome is a step in the direction to reveal more details about the genetic underpinnings of heart diseases etc.

not a cure, but an FDA approved slower of Alzheimer's

We need to make a note of this in the timeline

This is huge in explaining why Scott Ross gathered the affidavits we are in Posession of - is this still int he Wendy Christiansen meeting?

this is the computer error. the officers never claimed they suffered great bodily injury, only that their attackers intended to seriously hurt them. On the police report revewied by jurors, a computer software program incorrectly printed "ADW w/GBI," giving the impression the officers were claiming serious injury.

Heat coach Erik Spolestra quote on Dwyane Wade's activism

Wade believes it is his responsibility, with a platform and a magnitude of followers, to speak out for those whose voices won't be heard and those who won't/can't/don't have the platform and following he has.

Dwyane Wade talking about his reasons for ocming forward to talk about Black activism - not being afraid to come forward and illustrate/highlight to the audience members at the 2016 ESPYS the wrongdoing snad social njustices against Black Americans across the United States

Athlete activism isn't merely a product of today. John Carlos and Tommie Smith bowed their heads and raised fists in black gloves as the national anthem played - standing in solidarity for Black Americans and ushering the Black Power movement onto a global stage

A highly vocal advocate against police violence and the unfair treatment of Black Americans across the United States, Carmello Anthony marched in 2015 through his hometown, Baltimore, after police brutally murdered Freddie Gray. Anthony was joined by LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade. Anthony further gave a speech on race and violence at the 2016 ESPYs.

After Jacob Blake was fatally shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Bucks refused to play against the Orlando Magic or their 2020 playoff game. All of the other NBA teams refused to play in their playoff games. This caused a de-facto stoppage of their recently resumed season during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Following the Bucks and the rest of the league, the WBNA and MLS refused to play their regularly scheduled matches. The Milwaukee Brewers amongst other teams in the MLB canceled 5 scheduled games. Athletes took power into their own hands

Short investors betting against wallstreet bets

The fed claimed the high volatility in meme stocks has come from online forums such as twitter and reddit

akin to investors and figureheads such as elon musk tweeting about the stocks they are buying

Big money investors haven't tweeted their stock purchases historically. Now, however, figureheqds are much more vocal about their stocks - influencing their followers to buy up the stocke they are buying up so that the price increases. is the goal then to dump before the price plummets? further lowering the amount of money that their followers are making off the stock and increasing the wealth inequality in america?

once s stock achieves the attention level of a "meme stock" its volitality increases - can be good but also very bad

promoter for gamestop squeeze

General was only allowed to buy five shares by Robinhood, a comission free trading app that users can download on the app store. RObinhood limited the amount of shares people were able to buy because of an unprecedented increase in the amount of users buying stocks on the app. The app works by fronting the money to buy a stock - they ran out so they had to limit the amount of share people were able to buy. General ended up losing around fifteen hundred dollars to meme stocks, he could have lost more had Robinhood not put a cap on the number of stocks people were able to buy

AirBnb created a string of advertisements for the "made possible by Hosts" campaign. The advertisements consist of short films strung together in the fashion of a photo essay. The goal of the films is to trigger the feeling of nostalgia people often feel after returning from a trip - I don't want to leave, I wish I could go back, let me look at the photos etc, and the notion of future trips with loved ones.

Don't need to do too too much heavy marketing as a decent portion of their customers come from word of mouth/recommendations - one of the benefits of being an established company

An example of this occurred during the Persian wars of the early fifth century BCE. The Athenians received, from Apollo, an oracle at Delphi imploring the citizens to fortify their city with wooden walls. However, important/higher class citizens called out for other ways to interpret the message. Ultimately Themistocles saved all of both Athens and Greece by convincing others that the message meant they should focus their efforts on fortifying their navy as opposed to retreating into the Acropolis - historically fortified by a stretch of thorn bushes.

more representation leads to a more diverse audience which in turn leads to revenue coming from multiple demographics instead of just one

At you could turn $3,500 into a profit of between 5 and 20 million

Its incredibly profitable, easy to access because it's synthetic, and once you have a customer, you always have a customer - its a very easy way of making money

convoluted chain of custody makes seizure of fenatnyls bound for other nations from China difficult - often the packages will have missing, incomplete, or inaccurate information

means by which to acquire fentanyl from China

the increase in seizures of fentanyls in Mexico indicates a stockpile in anticipation of a future Chinese drug supply shortage

often serves as the middle man between China and the United States - gets the drug, either presses it into counterfeit prescription pills, or mixes/disguises it with heroine and sends it to the United States

concrete example of how the increase in synthetic opioids will fuel the opioid-dependent market regardless of government suppression as a result of severe addiction

Traffickers, whether educated correctly or not in the correct mixology and chemistry of lacing drugs with fentanyl will still sell their drugs for a profit. As such oftentimes drugs will contain too much fentanyl resulting in an overdose, or they will mix opioids with other drugs and result in death of the user - but profit for the trafficker

paragraph right here

as nations move towards finding alternatives for opioids and the accessibility between Drug Trafficking Organizations and fentanyl-laced pills increases, the possibility of reducing the amount of people addicted to opioids steadily decreases as more and more people will turn to counterfeit pills in order to obtain the opioid high they crave.

this compared to 100,000 deaths reported in the April 2020-2021 count from the CDC

the heightened demand for hospital-grade prescription drugs opens the floodgates for drug traffickers to create and sell counterfeit, fentanyl based, pills in efforts to increase their revenue and spread their network and ultimately meet and appease the market demand fro the pills

Clear example and concrete evidence for increase in fentanyl in the united states snce 2006 - where are we going to go from here?

because the drug is so easy to come by and sold under the guise of other opioids and narcotics, more and more clandestine pill press operations are being seized every day - though they're growing at an alarming rate.

Initially, fentanyl was cut and mixed into heroine to more cost-effectively run the drug traffic business. Today those still practices still exist, and traffickers have seen the cost benefits and effectiveness of mixing fentanyl into opioids such as oxytocin heroine and are expanding the synthetic opioid's reach across the united states

US law requires the DEA to be notified of the importation of a pill press. To get around this, foreign vendors will mislabel or disassemble imported equipment to avoid detection

when public safety officials go to seize illegal narcotics from individuals, they need to be careful not to accidentally ingest them as approximately 2 milligrams inhaled or absorbed through the skin is all it takes to take a life. if a bag is broken and fentanyl powder is released into the air and a police official inhales enough of the contaminated air, their life can be over in a matter of minutes.

expansion of the profitable killer is underway in the united states and in the nations on either side

it's incredibly easy to obtain the means by which to create, sell and profit from counterfeit pills containing fentanyl

The majority of fentanyl related deaths result not form prescribed fentanyl, but from fentanyl that has been disguised and sold as other opioids such as heroin

Public libraries often serve as not just a center for learning and consuming information, but also an environmental oasis. They are, more often than not, accessible to most everyone. In addition, they provide a shelter from harsh climate conditions brought about by high carbon dioxide levels and fossil fuel pollution for those who are unable to afford a personal space with clean, conditioned, air and shelter.
