U.S. Lifts Moratorium on Funding Controversial, High-Risk Virus Research
The federal government announced on Tuesday that it is lifting a three-year moratorium on funding controversial research that involves genetically altering viruses in ways that could make them more contagious, more deadly, or bothโand that critics say risks triggering a catastrophic pandemic.
Called gain-of-function experiments, the studies aim to understand genetic changes that can make viruses such as bird flu, SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) more transmissible from person to person. But if they escaped from the lab, perhaps through human error, the modified viruses could in theory spread quickly or be extremely virulent, increasing the toll of an outbreak.
The moratorium was imposed a few months after two mishaps at government labs, one handling anthrax and one handling avian flu, which together suggested that biosafety and biosecurity at even the most respected labs fell well short of what is needed to protect the public.
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, said the new policy didnโt represent a significant shift, since the NIH has continued to assess and fund some gain-of-function experiments even during the moratorium. Such studies will continue to be vetted by a federal panel before they can receive funding.

To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.
The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Ourthe near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.
There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.
If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours term.
All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity.
The German Commander.
To the German Commander.
NUTS!
The American Commander.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayati_(maqam)
Bayati is also used very often in religious liturgies of the Middle East. It is the favored maqam of use for the adhan in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Syrian Jews have an abundance of pizmonim in this maqam and usually apply it to all Bar Mitzvahs and to Saturday Night services. According to the Assyrian Church of the East, this mode is called Qadmoyo (first).
>Syrian Jews have an abundance of pizmonim in this maqam and usually apply it to all Bar Mitzvahs and to Saturday Night services.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizmonim
Pizmonim are traditional Jewish songs and melodies sung with the intention of praising God as well as learning certain aspects of traditional religious teachings. They are sung throughout religious rituals and festivities such as prayers, circumcisions, bar mitzvahs, weddings and other ceremonies.
Pizmonim are traditionally associated with Sephardi Jews, although they are related to Ashkenazi Jews' zemirot. The best known tradition is associated with Jews descended from Aleppo, though similar traditions exist among Iraqi Jews (where the songs are known as shbaแธฅoth, praises) and in North African countries. Jews of Greek, Turkish and Balkan origin have songs of the same kind in Ladino, associated with the festivals: these are known as coplas.

Hunter Biden Named as Creditor in Rudy Giulianiโs Bankruptcy Case
The list of creditors in Giulianiโs filing includes Hunter Biden, the IRS, Dominion Voting Systems, Smartmatic, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, Guiliani Partners LLC, and Noelle Dunphy, a former employee who accused Giuliani of sexual assault.
Hunter Biden sued Giuliani in September over allegations of manipulating data on Bidenโs abandoned laptop archive. Giuliani provided a copy of Hunter Bidenโs laptop hard drive to the New York Post after receiving it from a Delaware computer repairman.

In the case of the Canadian BOMARC sites at North Bay and La Macaza, Quebec, the division of labour between the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) crews and the United States Air Force (USAF) nuclear custodian and maintenance detachments was clearly spelled out. No Canadian could enter the warhead maintenance compound or building. The warhead load crews included both Americans and Canadians. The warheads were usually kept in the BOMARC airframe. The access door to the coffin launcher was locked, and the key was held by the USAF custodians. Inside was a โno lone zone,โ subject to the two-man rule. RCAF personnel handled loading and unloading the W-40 from the airframe, while the American custodians took over at the maintenance building. According to those who were involved in the process, no Canadian ever saw what was inside the โpackage.โ Indeed, to this day, even the external photographic image of the W-40 warhead is not available.

The weapon was proximity-fused to ensure detonation close enough so an intense flood of neutrons would result in an instantaneous nuclear reaction (NOT full-scale) in the enemy weaponโs pit; rendering it incapable of functioning as designed.
