Russia arrests Alexei Navalnys personal doctor
"Police detained the head of the Russian Alliance of Doctors, Anastasia Vasilyeva, after she requested permission to examine Aleksei Navalny inside a prison. The Kremlin critic has been moved to a sick ward in the facility amid reports of a possible tuberculosis outbreak there."

Scientists Have Successfully Transformed Stress Into Electricity
Swiss engineers created this new material which is flexible and generates electricity when it is subjected to stress
Wouldnt it be nice if our everyday stresses can produce something usefullike electricity? Well, recently, scientists have created a new organic material which can turn material stress to electricity.
Researchers from Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, created this new material which is flexible and generates electrical energy when it is subjected to stress.
In the future, it could be used as a sensor that could be integrated into clothing or implanted in the body to power a pacemaker.
The Piezoelectric Effect
This new rubber material is able to convert mechanical movements into electrical charges. The generated current comes from the internal polarization that changes when the rubber film is mechanically stressed.
This effect, which was discovered in crystals is currently used in various applications such as sound pick-ups on analog record players, like how the needles is guided through the grooves in the record to be able to generate mechanical vibrations. In a piezoelectric crystal, these vibrations will be converted into electric pulses, which will be amplified and converted into sound waves.
Empa researcher Dorina Opris with her colleagues have given elastomers (rubberized fabric) piezoelectric properties.

Whether its naming political cronies to the Public Utility Commission or turning a blind eye to the desperate need to weatherize the Texas electricity grid, Abbott took care of his donors and left Texans to fend for themselves.

From Christian education to Desantis, to Gaetz, the Heritage Foundation & Prager U, I'm guessing Luke Ball has already secured another job.
All that time spent in close personal/professional contact with Matt Gaetz & he saw no 'red flags'?
Gee, sure hope Luke Ball doesn't innocently get dragged into Gaetz's legal problems such as signing off on campaign finance purchases.
He's quite a Christian 🤨
