Russian scientists have produced the first three test batches of a newly developed cancer vaccine at the Gamaleya Institute in Moscow. This new “vaccine” is said to be a breakthrough drug. It’s an artificial intelligence-assisted, mRNA-based vaccine designed to target malignant tumors using the patient’s own genetic data.

His best friend lay dead at the city’s edge. Over the next six hours, Private Leo Major terrorized German defenders into believing thousands of Canadian troops had launched an all-out assault.By dawn, the German garrison had fled and 50,000 Dutch civilians avoided the artillery barrage planned for later that morning. In 2018, more than 70 years after that night, Dutch soccer fans at a FC Zwolle game unfurled…

Sometimes I raise an eyebrow at “house brand” goods. Like the nondescript canned tuna in the grocery store, you wonder if the quality drop is worth saving a little scratch. Thankfully, REI Co-op has a long history of making affordable outdoor goods that compete with the big names without sacrificing details or quality.
