Montgomery County public schools have removed “opt out” of human sexuality classes, and parents demand it be put back in.

If you can’t opt out they in affect requiring the classes as mandatory.

Anons in that are Maryland do your work, get parents engaged in a big way, if your children are in those schools raise holy heaven today and everyday until this is fixed

You might want to check on the other county public schools!

This might be the only good thing that came out of Covid, that parents became aware of what their children were learning and being taught.

Lukashenko details talks with Putin and mediation to stop mutiny

Belarus was ready to send a military brigade to help defend Moscow, President Alexander Lukashenko has revealed

Russia amassed some 10,000 troops to repel the Wagner private military company’s march on Moscow last week, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in Minsk on Tuesday, adding that he was also ready to send his forces to Russia.

Lukashenko said Russia would have prevailed in a standoff against the mutineers,but it might have resulted in “thousands” of deaths, so a peaceful solution was the priority. He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin kept him “thoroughly” updated on the situation, leading the Belarusian leader to offer to help as mediator.

“The most dangerous thing… was not the situation itself but its potential consequences,”Lukashenko told the Belarusian military in a speech on Tuesday.

He said Putin told him the Wagner PMC founder, Evgeny Prigozhin, was refusing to talk to anyone and that attempting to negotiate with him would be “useless”. Nonetheless, Lukashenko apparently managed to establish contact, with the help of the Russian Federal Security Service.

Prigozhin was in a state of “total euphoria” for the first 30 minutes, and theywere speaking mostly in obscenities, the Belarusian leader admitted. “There were 10 times more swear words than normal ones,” he recalled.

According to Lukashenko, the Wagner Group commandershad been frustrated by battlefield losses suffered in Ukraine and had “heavily influenced” Prigozhin, who claimed he was merely demanding “justice” in calling for the removal of Russian generals.

During their talks, Lukashenko said he warned Prigozhin that he would be “crushed like a bug” should he dare to continue his march on Moscow.

The Belarusian leader described how he warned Prigozhin that a military brigade was ready for deployment to Moscow to defend the Russian capital if needed. He also admitted concerns that the unrest could spill out of Russia, and “we would have been next.”

At 5pm Moscow timeduring the mutiny, Prigozhin called to sayhe would accept Lukashenko’s terms, but demanded security guarantees for himself and his fighters. At that point, Lukashenko contacted FSB chief Aleksandr Bortnikov andagreed with him that Russia would not strike Wagner troops.

Lukashenko “promised” Prigozhin this would not happen and offered a “guarantee” that he would accept Wagner fighters in Belarus and ensure their safety.

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov also played an “important role” in the negotiations, Lukashenko said. On Saturday, a video of Yevkurov speaking to the Wagner chief in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, which had been overrun by the group’s fighters, emerged online.

Talks ended on Saturday evening, Lukashenko said, noting that he had to “hurry” asRussia had “already built a defensive line some 200 km from Moscow.”

“I was afraid if the Wagner fighters clashed with them at that line, blood would have been spilled and that would have been it,” he recounted.

In the end, Lukashenko facilitated a direct phone call between Prigozhin and Bortnikov. After talking to the Russian FSB chief, the Wagner chief ordered his fighters to pull back and return to their field camps. Following this, Lukashenko said he had another call with Putin in which theRussian leader vowed to keep his promises.

Putin later stated that the Russian authorities would not prosecute Prigozhin or his troops, and offered Wagner fighters a choice to either sign contracts with Russia’s Defense Ministry or other security agencies, return home, or move to neighboring Belarus.

(Why are they releasing so much detail again, its constant reporting to “cement” into the world’s mind that there was a coup attempt and insurrection. But I can’t imagine they are releasing a lot of detail that seems unnecessary! Do anons have an idea why they are doing it. There’s still no definable proof that helos were shot down or soldiers killed, if no proof is advanced rational thinkers are not going to believe it. Oh maybe they are still trying to get the SeeEyeAye to think it happened-probably not though!)

US will seek to restore military contacts with China – White House

Such channels were described as crucial as the two countries’ forces increasingly “rub up against one another”

The US will continue to diplomatically insist on the restoration of direct communication channels with China in order to prevent future incidents or accidents, according to Kurt Campbell, who serves as the coordinator for the Indian and Pacific regions on the White House National Security Council (NSC).

Discussing the strategic and military implications of the AUKUS military alliance between Australia, the US and UK at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on Monday, Campbell said it was crucial for China and the US to take “practical steps that would enable effective communication to deal with an unintended set of circumstances or an accident or a mishap.”

“We will continue to articulate the rationale for why these [channels] are important, particularly as our forces increasingly rub up against one another and operate in closer proximity,” he said.

Campbell noted that “the Chinese have been reluctant historically to undertake these efforts”but stressed that Washington would nevertheless make the case that such contacts are necessary. (Yeah, it’s gonna work this time!)

Campbell added that the personal visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to China last week, where he met with President Xi Jinping, was a “good step” for diplomacy.

Asked whether the US was considering lifting sanctions on Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu in order to help establish military contacts, Campbell said the reason that Beijing doesn’t want to reestablish communication channels extends “beyond simple restrictions placed on senior officers.”

Blinken became the first US secretary of state to visit Beijing in five years as relations between the two countries had soured over a number of issues such as the legal status of Taiwan as well as Washington’s increased military activity in the Indo-Pacific.

During his meeting with Xi, Blinken emphasized that Washington was not seeking conflict or a new Cold War with China, had no plans to encourage regime change in the country, and expected to maintain high-level engagement with Beijing.

Shortly after their meeting, however, US President Joe Biden unexpectedly branded Xi a “dictator,” causing outrage in Beijing and once again placing increased strain on relations.

(So Milley lost his bestie in Chinese military that he was going to treasonously inform China, Trump was going to go to war with them!)

Janitor wipes out 20 years of ‘groundbreaking’ research

A laboratory freezer had been emitting an “annoying” beeping sound so the cleaner switched it off

A cleaner unwittingly destroyed over 20 years of “groundbreaking” research by switching off a laboratory freezer in a US university that had been emitting an “annoying” alarm sound, it has been claimed in a lawsuit.

The legal filing says that the janitor, who is not being sued in the lawsuit, tried to stop the repetitive beeping noise by switching off the freezer while working at the site in 2020. It is claiming damages in excess of $1 million from the cleaner’s employer, Daigle Cleaning Systems Inc., whom the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York says failed to adequately train the contractor.

“[The] defendant, by and through its negligent, careless, and/or reckless supervision and control of [the janitor], caused damage to certain cell structures, samples, and/or research in the Lab,” the university claims.

The suit also states that sensitive samples contained in the freezer were required to be kept at precise temperatures, and that an alarm had begun to sound to notify staff of a small fluctuation. Scientists determined that the minute change in temperature was not enough to affect the samples.

Maybe its a good thing that this happened, see what they research, they were growing cells for 20 years, maybe around the time all scientist were messing with RNA. It’s also a Private Institute. They study much more than samples below:

Rensselaer Researcher Uses Pressure To Understand RNA Dynamics

High pressure induces excited states, suggests role in HIV infection

Just as space holds infinite mysteries, when we zoom in at the level of biomolecules (one trillion times smaller than a meter), there is still so much to learn.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Catherine Royer, Constellation Chair Professor of Bioinformatics and Biocomputation at the Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D. Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies(CBIS) and professor of biological sciences, is dedicated to understanding the conformational landscapes of biomolecules and how they modulate cell function. When biomolecules receive certain inputs, it can cause the atoms to rearrange and the biomolecule to change shape. This change in shape affects their function in cells, so understanding conformational dynamics is critical for drug development.

In research recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Royer and her team examined the conformational dynamics of a human transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) under high hydrostatic pressure. The high pressure led to an increased population of the tRNA-excited states that normally exist at very low levels, allowing new insights into tRNA function.

“We’re interested in observing the excited states because they lead to conformations outside of those that can be determined by X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), or electron microscopy,” said Royer. “We’re beginning to understand that there are far more biomolecular structures than previously thought and, for the development of therapeutics, we need to understand what these states look like.”

For this research, Royer used human tRNA rather than proteins, which are what she typically studies. “

RPI and Albany Medical College Researchers Awarded $3.3 Million To Improve Breast Cancer Treatment Using Artificial Intelligence

This latest project propels forward a longtime collaboration between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Albany Medical College

Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Albany Medical College were awarded a $3.3 million grant over five years by the National Cancer Institute to use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve targeted drug therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. HER2-positive breast cancer tends to grow and spread quickly, but targeted treatments improve outcomes.

The research is being led by Xavier Intes, Rensselaer professor of biomedical engineering and co-director of the Center for Modeling, Simulation and Imaging in Medicine, and Margarida Barroso, a professor of molecular and cellular physiology and director of the Imaging Core Facility at Albany Medical College. RPI and Albany Medical College have collaborated continuously for over a decade focusing on treatments to improve human health supported by six major grants totaling over $15 million.This grant propels that collaboration forward using modern AI tools.

Good advice to get US attys to be staff for the investigative Committees now, and they have to be staffed up like the J6 they got professional investigators and a lot of them. These committees do not have to right ones. They are just staff, they do not know the details of indictments etc

Jeffrey Clark: The EPA’s DEI Focus Resulting In Ecological And Infrastructure Disasters For Americans

Clark is working with E. Palestine citizens to get every government remuneration and assistance they can get pro bono. They’ve been taken advantage by a lot of class action sheisters.

Clark is a brilliant attorney that was top US attorney in the Environment in Trump’s DOJ, he also is being attacked by Bidan DOJ for interfering in 2020 because he wrote a letter that was never sent, because Barr didn’t want pushback on 2020. They are trying to disbar him

A federal judge has cleared the way for District of Columbia Bar authorities to resume long-stalled disciplinary proceedings against Jeffrey Clark, a top ally in Donald Trump’s bid to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Clark, an assistant attorney general in Trump’s Justice Department — whom Trump considered naming acting attorney general amid his final, frenzied bid to remain in power — had tied up those proceedings for nearly eight months as he sought to transfer the battle to federal court.

But U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contrerasrejected Clark’s effort on Thursday, issuing a 36-page opinion concluding that federal courts have no jurisdiction over disciplinary proceedings meant to be managed by the D.C. Bar and local courts. (Strzock’s bestie judge)

D.C. Bar authorities charged Clark in July 2022 with engaging in “dishonest” conduct and seeking to “seriously interfere with the administration of justice” when he embarked on a weekslong effort to help Trump sow doubt about the results of the 2020 election.

In the weeks before Trump left office, Clark — then the acting head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division — spearheaded the drafting of a letter urging state governments in states won by Joe Biden to consider convening their legislatures and revisiting the results of the election. He leaned on Justice Department leaders to send the letter but was repeatedly rebuffed.
