Another Food Processing Plant Burns To The Ground
by Mac Slavo, August 23, 2023
The American Plant Food Corporation’s fertilizer plant in Bartlett, Texas, near Round Rock, reportedly caught fire around 8:30 p.m. on August 20th. The plant has since burned to the ground.
The Bartlett Volunteer Fire Department received a call to come put it out at 9901 North Highway 95. The fertilizer plant is said "vital to the local community" and to Texas state.
Because of voluminous hazardous and highly flammable
chemicals at the plant, firefighters decided it was best to not
try to extinguish the flames with water as they typically would for other types of fires. "Hazard crews were on site all night, including Temple who was monitoring overnight until Round Rock hazard crews came to relieve them," ... according to a report by Natural News.

CRISPR causes serious DNA damage with high frequency – but it’s often overlooked
GMWatch, August 9, 2023
Abstract:
CRISPR/Cas9 based gene editing typically functions by creating a DNA double-strand break (DSB) at the intended target locus in a cell. Recent reports showed the occurrence of unintended on-target large gene modifications by CRISPR/Cas9-induced DSB, including large deletions, insertions, and chromosomal rearrangements, in addition to small insertions and deletions. These on-target large gene modifications can have high frequencies, undetectable by standard short-range PCR based assays, leading to data misinterpretation, reduced efficacy, and potential safety concerns in therapeutic gene editing. Here, we summarize the recent advances in analyzing large on-target gene editing outcomes and their implications to clinical application, and discuss opportunities for future improvements.
