For the folks who support the deployment of troops in our cities just remember that King George III did the same in the colonial city of Boston which was a precursor to the American revolution. Colonists were outraged. Please remember this as you support the deployment of troops by Trump.

Always a bit of an Anglophile, but just recently started watching Upstairs, Downstairs from the 70’s…so good. Definitely the precursor to Downton Abbey. Also…watched Pauline Collins in her BAFTA-award winning role in Shirley Valentine. LOVED it! 🥰

Engineered marine microbes (vibrio natriegens) are fed pure formic acid as their sole source of carbon. The microbes metabolise the acid to produce succinic acid, which is then used as a precursor to synthesise biodegradable plastics.
