instead of eggs to manufacture a new flu vaccine.
Cancer
-
Easier

apnea survived the study, while 88 percent of the 113 apnea-free patients
lived.

WEIRD
SCIENCE:

shaping and sanding rough planks. Adapting a similar construction strategy,

streamline genetic engineering. It makes made-to-order DNA strands, freeing
scientists from the finicky work it takes to put together a complicated
piece of DNA the old-fashioned way.

Wednesday's
article, "The Upcoming Great Deception" by
Stephen Yulish, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
EXCERPT:
What
rulers, what powers, what world forces, what fortresses, what speculations,
what lofty things, what spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places,
are we warring against? It is my firm belief that Satan and all his demonic
hordes are preparing to unleash one the greatest deceptions on mankind
that ever has been undertaken. This upcoming deception and wickedness in
the heavenly places will be as a result of Satan's signs and false wonders
for those who will perish because they did not receive the love of the
truth so as to saved ( 2Thess. 2:9-10). God will send on them a deluding
spirit so that they will believe what is false and will be judged (2Thess.
2:11).
