The bill requires the Justice Department to consult with stakeholders, including public safety officer organizations, in developing the program, which would be available to serve first responders in communities of all sizes across the country. The Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act is supported by the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the Major Cities Chiefs Association, the Major County Sheriffs of America, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and the Sergeants Benevolent Association NYPD."

The newfound cells play a vital role in keeping the respiratory system functioning properly and could even inspire new treatments to reverse the effects of certain smoking-related diseases, according to a new study.
The cells, known as respiratory airway secretory (RAS) cells, are found in tiny, branching passages known as bronchioles, which are tipped with alveoli, the teensy air sacs that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the bloodstream"...

For media inquiries contact: Jessica Ryan, (301) 892-0085
WASHINGTON, April 5, 2022 – For his outstanding contributions to veterinary virology and discovery and development of vaccines against African Swine Fever (ASF), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist Manuel Borca is the agency's Distinguished Senior Research Scientist of the Year for 2022. Borca, research microbiologist for ARS's Plum Island Animal Disease Control's Foreign Animal Disease Research Unit in Orient Point, New York, is one of many ARS researchers being honored for their scientific achievements.
ARS also named four 2022 Area Senior Research Scientists of the Year. They are:
• Peter Follett, with ARS's Tropical Crop and Commodity Protection Research Unit in Hilo, Hawaii, for his contributions to postharvest entomology and quarantine treatment development.
• Robert Shatters, with ARS's Subtropical Insects and Horticulture Research Unit in Fort Pierce, Florida, for his signficant research on plants, insect pests and plant disease. He translated molecular biology research and knowledge into deliverable solutions to huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening.
• Aijun Zhang, with ARS's Invasive Insect Biocontrol and Behavior Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, for developing efficient and alternative strategies utilizing semiochemicals to reduce insect pests' risks to agriculture and public health.
ARS is honoring four other Area Early Career Research Scientists. They are:
• Bradd Haley, with ARS's Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, for his research to characterize important features of human pathogens associated with food-producing animals.
• Joshua Lyte, with ARS's Poultry Production and Product Safety Research Unit in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for creating a new research paradigm uniting the microbiome and poultry neurophysiology that advances antibiotic alternatives to reduce foodborne pathogen carriage, disease and production-related stress.

6) About the Prolife Declaration of a new American future : https://newamericanfuture.net:
Quote Life News:
"Along with overturning Roe, the pro-life leaders urged Americans to end taxpayer funding of abortions and eugenics and recognize the devastating effects of abortion being pushed as a solution to the world’s problems. They called on United States leaders to reinstate international aid policies that exclude abortion, eugenics and population control programs and re-embrace the historic American understanding that God is the source of rights and blessings....
“… but the damage to the fabric of American society has proven to be immense,” Donovan said. “When government promotes a policy of children as disposable, and when killing innocent children is promoted as a solution, we should not be surprised that the vulnerable of our society are mistreated, denied equal opportunity, and marginalized. This trend can and must be reversed, and it starts with a renewed emphasis on equal respect for every human under the law.” About 30 pro-life leaders signed the declaration, including Dr. Ben Carson, Ambassador Sam Brownback, Princeton University Professor Robert P. George Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Jeanne Mancini of the March for Life, Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America and Catherine Glenn Foster of Americans United for Life."

7) Quote Reuters blood clotting thrombus caused by vaccine(?) study:
New research may help shed light on a rare but serious blood-clotting problem associated with the COVID-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca (AZN.L) and Johnson and Johnson (JNJ.N).
Five unrelated people with this clotting complication, known as vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia, all had unusually-structured antibodies against a protein called PF4 that is involved in blood clotting, the researchers found. Furthermore, all five had a specific version of a gene responsible for producing these antibodies, they reported on Monday on medRxiv ahead of peer review. "The combination of a variant in a gene and the evolution of this antibody towards targeting in a highly deleterious manner the PF4 protein...
leads to this disastrous complication," the researchers said. The prevalence of this gene varies and is highest in people of European descent, according to the report."

17)Quote :" Medicine tells us that life begins at the moment of conception. It also tells us when an unborn baby develops a heartbeat, brainwaves, and nervous system. Yet, despite all of this, the unborn are not treated as though they are alive or even human. As a surgeon, I have operated on infants pre-birth. I can assure you that they are very much alive.
Life is a precious gift that has been given to us from our creator. No person is disposable, and every life is precious according to Him. I believe that everyone deserves life, even those who have been denied this right by our society. I believe that together we can make a difference and bring dignity and a voice to the unborn. I also believe that I’m not alone in this belief"; words of Dr Ben Carson,MD, founder of American Cornerstone Institute
