The Israeli army announced on Thursday that it killed 5 Palestinians and arrested 4 others in northern the occupied West Bank.
The army stated in a press release: “The Duvdevan unit and the undercover Border Guard forces (Israelis dressed in Palestinian clothes and speaking Arabic) carried out operations in the West Bank.”
It added that the operations took place in the villages of Tamoun and Tubas.

Das Bild zeigt ein Straßenschild mit einem Warnsymbol, das einen Totenkopf in einem Dreieck mit zwei Schwertern darstellt. Das Schild ist in einem dunklen Blau und Weiß gestaltet und befindet sich in einem trockenen, offenen Gelände mit spärlicher Vegetation. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und ein weiteres Schild mit einer Kurvenwarnung zu sehen. Das Schild weist Anzeichen von Graffiti auf, was auf eine mögliche Verletzung der Warnung hinweist. Der Himmel ist klar und blau, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist.

, of course well studied substances that have a very palpable benefit and minimal get banned, but keeping substances that are incredibly harmful out of water or the food supply is not a priority. Who doesn't love compounds that bio-accumulate , don't biodegrade, are both hydrophilic and lipophilic, and are toxic!

When KJ Muldoon was born at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in August, doctors noticed that he was lethargic. They carried out tests that revealed he had a genetic metabolic disorder that leads to the buildup of ammonia and can cause brain damage and death. Gene sequencing helped them determine the exact location of the error that led to him being unable to make a vital enzyme. This allowed doctors to use CRISPR technology to create a treatment tailored specifically towards his unique mutation. After three infusions containing billions of gene editors, his defect appears to have been corrected and his condition, at least partially reversed. "This is an important first step towards an entirely new type of personalized medicine. I think it's going to utterly transform the way we practice medicine, particularly in the area of rare diseases," says Dr. Kiran Musunuru, a professor for translational research at the University of Pennsylvania, who worked on KJ's case. See the @npr story at the first link. There's a link to the original article in the New England Journal of Medicine at the second link.

@Georgiana Brummell what was the listed price for you? For me it was more than $300 plus an additional $200+ for delivery.
I feel the description was deliberately ambiguous btw.
It's a long flat metal device, with 4 rows of small rectangular holes in it. It looks most like the "slate" mentioned on the page you linked to.
Hope this helps, I don't have any expertise in the matter!

Mylar Space Blankets As RF Reflectors
Metalized Mylar “space blankets” are sold as a survivalist’s accessory, primarily due to their propensity for reflecting heat. They’re pretty cheap, and [HamJazz] has performed some experiments on their RF properties. Do they reflect radio waves as well as they reflect heat? As it turns out, yes they do.
Any antenna system that’s more than a simple radiator relies on using conductive components as reflectors. These can either be antenna elements, or the surrounding ground acting as an approximation to a conductor. Radio amateurs will often use wires laid on the ground or buried within it to improve its RF conductivity, and it’s in this function that he’s using the Mylar sheet. Connection to the metalized layer is made with a magnet and some aluminium tape, and the sheet is strung up from a line at an angle. It’s a solution for higher frequencies only due to the restricted size of the thing, but it’s certainly interesting enough to merit further experimentation.
As you can see in the video below, his results are derived in a rough and ready manner with a field strength meter. But they certainly show a much stronger field on one side resulting from the Mylar, and also in an antenna that tunes well. We would be interested to conduct a received signal strength test over a much greater distance rather than a high-level field strength test so close to the antenna, but it’s interesting to have a use for a space blanket that’s more than just keeping the sun away from your tent at a hacker camp. Perhaps it could even form a parabolic antenna.
