Le braquage à 9 millions et les gamins d’Avignon : révélations sur un étrange assassinat déjoué à Neuilly
INFO LE PARISIEN. Quatre jeunes hommes venus d’Avignon ont été interpellés fin avril à Neuilly-sur-Seine alors qu’ils se préparaient visiblement à commettre un assassinat. Leur cible serait une femme qui a témoigné contre des hommes impliqués dans le braquage d’un fourgon blindé.

This is the most detailed picture of a human cell ever made 🧪

Sam Bousaba on Instagram: "This is a single human cell. The white filament-like structures are microtubules, and the small colored particles are ribosomes. Your body contains on the order of ~37 trillion cells. Each cell functions like a highly organized, self-regulating factory operating continuously. There is no central “supervisor”—yet thousands of processes run in parallel with remarkable coordination. Every ribosome is constantly building proteins by linking amino acids together. In eukaryotic (human) cells, a ribosome typically adds about 5–10 amino acids per second (not ~20). Since a single cell can contain millions of ribosomes, protein production is massive—resulting in millions to tens of millions of peptide bonds formed per second per cell. The microtubules act as an internal transport network. Motor proteins such as kinesin move along these tracks, carrying cellular cargo. They “walk” step by step using ATP, at speeds of roughly 500–1000 nanometers per second. Each cell contains a dense network of these filaments, with many motor proteins moving simultaneously. Just beneath the cell membrane lies the actin cortex, a dynamic meshwork that helps maintain cell shape and resist mechanical stress. This structure is continuously remodeled—assembled and disassembled—allowing the cell to adapt to its environment. Now scale this up. Across ~37 trillion cells, each containing millions of ribosomes and hundreds to thousands of mitochondria, your body is constantly producing energy in the form of ATP. Total ATP turnover is enormous—roughly equivalent to your body weight in ATP recycled every day. The DNA in a single human cell, if stretched out, measures about 2 meters. Across all your cells, this would span distances comparable to traveling from Earth to the Sun and back many times (the exact multiple depends on assumptions about cell count and DNA packing). None of these processes are under conscious control. They began when you were a single cell and have continued uninterrupted ever since."

Cornyn and his allies have poured millions into brutal, personal ads trying to defeat Paxton
— and they’ve had a lot of material to work with.
Paxton has faced an impeachment attempt by the state legislature,
ethics complaints from his staff
and a federal securities fraud investigation.
He’s currently going through a divorce that his wife filed for on “biblical grounds.”
Republicans are increasingly concerned that a Paxton nomination would put the seat i…

Multiple researchers using the same tools to find the same bugs are creating ‘unnecessary pain and pointless work’
