Brain Images Just Got 64 Million Times Sharper
April 19th, 2023Via: Duke:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is how we visualize soft, watery tissue that is hard to image with X-rays. But while an MRI provides good enough resolution to spot a brain tumor, it needs to be a lot sharper to visualize microscopic details within the brain that reveal its organization.
In a decades-long technical tour de force led by Duke’s Center for In Vivo Microscopy with colleagues at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh and Indiana University, researchers took up the gauntlet and improved the resolution of MRI leading to the sharpest images ever captured of a mouse brain.
3 Hellacious Questions for Presidential Candidate Donald Trump
April 18th, 2023Via: Jon Rappoport:
Dear Don,
ONE: When are you going to admit you fronted for, and pushed, the high-speed release of DEVASTATING COVID vaccines that are injuring and killing huge numbers of people all over the world?
You’re going admit it NEVER, right? You’re still faking it with blue-sky sales hype—you “saved hundreds of millions of lives.”
Sure you did. In your fantasy bubble.
TWO: When are you going to admit you stepped aside and appointed that little pipsqueak freakazoid Tony Fauci interim President of the United States and sat in a corner and sucked your thumb and allowed him to lock down the whole country and LAY WASTE to the economy?
The ECONOMY—which was your supposed key contribution as President.
And don’t pretend the economy magically recovered after the lockdowns were finally ended. The catastrophic effects are still BURNING. The fire is nowhere close to being put out.
Take a look at what’s happening to the commercial real estate market right now. You know something about commercial real estate, don’t you, Don?
THREE: What the hell happened when you were a day away from declaring the Mexican drug cartels terrorist groups—and then backed off?
Big talk, lots of bullshit, but no action.
Need I remind you that the cartels are humping millions of doses of the chemical warfare called fentanyl up through the southern border and killing and addicting millions of Americans?

COVID Led to the Biggest Drop in Births in 50 Years
April 18th, 2023Via: USA Today:
The COVID-19 pandemic led to the biggest one-year drop in U.S. births in nearly 50 years. But a new study shows not every state was equally affected.
Researchers found some states experienced steep decreases in fertility while other saw little change, according to the report published last week in the peer-reviewed journal Human Reproductions.
They discovered fluctuating fertility rates in some states were more strongly linked to demographic, economic and political factors rather than COVID-19 cases, suggesting family planning could have been partly stunted by consequences of the pandemic rather than the disease itself.
…
Study authors analyzed states’ political leaning and social distancing unit, which tracked changes in people’s mobility using cellphone data. They found states with stronger social distancing responses that leaned politically liberal saw steeper fertility rate declines after the first wave of the pandemic.
For example, politically liberal places like New York and Washington, D.C., had the highest social distancing indexes and the lowest fertility rates, while conservative states like Idaho and Montana had the lowest social distancing indexes and the highest fertility rates.
U.S. Government Borrowing $6 Billion Per Day
April 18th, 2023Via: The Center Square:
The U.S. Congressional Budget Office said Monday the federal government has accumulated more than a trillion dollars in debt only six months into the fiscal year.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget released a report pointing out that those figures amount to an average of $6 billion per day so far in fiscal year 2023.
“Our fiscal challenges will only become more difficult the longer we wait to do anything,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the CRFB. “In just five years, the national debt will surpass its record as a share of the economy – set just after World War II, when we had no choice but to borrow to win the war. However, we’re in no such emergency now. It’s long past time that policymakers figure out a way to sustainably finance their priorities, not just add the costs to the national credit card.”
