The Moscow Puzzles. A nice collection of math puzzles from the Soviet Union.

The book now in the reader’s hands is the first English translation of Mathematical Know-how, the best and most popular puzzle book ever published in the Soviet Union. Since its first appearance in 1956, there have been eight editions, as well as translations from the original Russian into Ukrainian, Estonian, Lettish, and Lithuanian. Almost a million copies of the Russian version alone have been sold.

This article came out with a dull-sounding title: Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in the murine central nervous system drives viral diversification. But this is how we're supposed to read it. The research talks about how mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV2 can lead to infections in the CNS. And those mutations occur at the furin cleavage site. It's already known that the furin-cleaved substrates can bind to neuropilin-1, and that is one mechanism of entry into the brain. We know that removal of the furin cleavage site diminishes the pathogenicity of the virus. But the question that is not asked is whether the furin cleavage site is coded for in the mRNA vaccine. We don't know for sure because the information is proprietary and hasn't been released, but it's suspected that it's there. So in light of this information, why aren't there calls to remove the mRNA sequence coding for the FCS peptide?

This is the way to do it. New process vaporizes plastic bags and bottles, yielding gases to make new, recycled plastics. Instead of banning plastic straws, we should look for ways to recycle plastic more efficiently. This looks to be a promising way to do it. There is no suitable substitute for plastic at this time.

Portland city officials are now realizing the impact of US Bank leaving the Big Pink building. Love how they try to spin the crime rate and that other small businesses are still in the city (for now).
Despite this, Wheeler also said it's likely more businesses will leave the area...
That's for sure.
