"has the potential to put Australia in an even more awkward position with its largest trading partner, China. While trying to keep Beijing on side, Canberra has also been bolstering defense ties with Washington amid China’s growing influence in Asia-Pacific." #trade

All the wild horses (2X)
Tethered with tears in their eyes
May no man's touch ever tame
May no man's reigns ever chain you
And may no man's weight ever lay freight to your soul
And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away (2X)
As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away (2X)

Looking up the trunks of two tall maple trees. Their leaves are bright yellow, turning orange at the tips. The sun illuminates them at the center. There is blue sky in the background and darker pines and bushes at the right and left bottom, encouraging your eyes to go up the trees.

My sweet neighbor keeps urging me to date again, but if she knew my backstory, she wouldn't do that. I appreciate that being married for 45 years worked for her, but my story is different. I was married for 25 years and discovered he had secret sexual basement. My trust issues are justified. 💔

Another friend shared this with me in Discord. I feel attacked. I'm from the melting pot and I read things from multiple cultures. This means I will continue to mix, mash, and match things from one sentence to the next. One nation under Grammarly? 🤪

Friend: What IS your political party?

Me: Tired

Friend: No but...

Me: *flat look* Tired

There is a big difference between a genuine desire to engage and propaganda. I'm not going to get my blood pressure up over affiliations. I just love my country. That means trying to improve her.

antisense drugs, can prevent a cell from making specific proteins, including death fold proteins

If right, these efforts are "going to cure a lot of diseases that we associate with aging and inflammation."

...by changing how cells make life-or-death decisions.

"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong."

A new system can dial expression of synthetic genes up or down
MIT engineers designed a control mechanism, known as DIAL, that allows them to establish a desired protein level, or set point, for any synthetic gene circuit.
