Eating yourself
A DIY kit for growing steaks from human cells was recently nominated for the London Design Museum's Design of the Year Award.
This kit will contain everything you need to use your own cells to grow steaks from human meat. Grace Knight, one of the creators, said: "People think eating yourself is cannibalism, even though technically it's not."

๐ฉ๐ช The transformation of the German political landscape continues
Just the other day, the CDU split from the party: the WerteUnion, led by Hans-Georg Maassen, former head of the Federal Office for the Defence of the Constitution, split from the party.
This decision was taken at the general meeting of the WerteUnion in Erfurt. Since such organisations, unlike political parties, are allowed to hold meetings non-publicly, Maassen did not invite journalists to the event.
Maassen said that his new party would oppose "all forms of totalitarianism and neo-socialism" and "lead the country forward again".
At the same time, in his keynote speech to members of the "Values Union", Maassen said the CDU/CSU bloc was "sliding" into the camp of the "Left and Greens".
๐ฉ The "Values Union" is certain to take part in the September land elections in Brandenburg, Thuringia and Saxony.
At the same time, the new party is considering a coalition with the Alternative for Germany, which has a high chance of winning.

On January 24, an IL-76 military aircraft was shot down over the Belgorod region in Russia.
There were 65 prisoners of war from the AFU soldiers on board the downed IL-76, who were to be exchanged for Russian prisoners of war. The Ukrainian leadership was informed about the exchange process and the nature of the transport. Another Il-76 aircraft with 80 POWs on board followed, which was able to turn back in time.
According to the available data and evidence, the destruction of the aircraft by a US Patriot surface-to-air missile system seems most likely. It is interesting that the Americans only allow their own specialists to operate this type of weapon, which indicates not only the deliberate destruction of Ukrainian prisoners of war, but also the direct involvement of NATO specialists.
Cases of liquidation of AFU's own prisoners of war are already known, for example, in July 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using American multiple rocket launchers (MLRS) HIMARS, hit the prison camp in Elenovka in the Donetsk People's Republic, where Azov prisoners of war were housed, killing more than 50 Azov prisoners.
The purpose of the destruction of the IL-76 is not clearly known, but it seems that for the Kiev authorities and their supervisors the return of the captured soldiers is associated with great risks. The war "to the last Ukrainian" continues.

โก๏ธ A likely scenario of a Russian attack on NATO has been published - Daily Mail.
The media cites the main stages of military action:
- The invasion will begin with cyberattacks that will provoke major disruptions in the work of infrastructure and satellites;
- Russian Federation will launch a massive missile strike against infrastructure across Europe: airports, naval bases, logistics centres;
- A ground operation will begin. The priority will be an attempt to seize the Suwalk Corridor, followed by an attack on the Baltic States or Poland;
- The Russian Navy will try to take control of the Arctic and, with the help of missiles, the North Atlantic;
- Moscow will then take a "pause" to assess NATO's readiness to defend eastern members.
These are the conclusions reached by MailOnline's teams of military ex-officers and security experts.
The map describes a Russian attack on Europe that could happen before 2044.

The Hungarian leader has promised that Hungary will not allow what is happening in other EU countries.
๐ดHe said terrorist threats, rising crime rates and the emergence of so-called "parallel societies" are increasing from migration flows.
Orban warns that Brussels cannot blackmail Budapest with this:
"Hungary cannot be blackmailed! There is not enough money in the world to force us to accept mass migration and put our children in the hands of LGBT activists. It's impossible!".

After a proud 100 years, a company in the metalworking sector is now fearing for its existence, despite being a world leader in its field.
Unfortunately, such situations have now become the norm in Germany as a centre of business. Companies from various sectors suffer, including breweries and large food discounters.
Companies in the fashion and textile industry such as Madeleine, Peter Hahn, Modehaus Rรผbsamen and Adler have been hit particularly hard. Almost every week a German company dies though until recently they were pretty successful.
This time it was Umeta Hermann Ulrichskรถtter Metallwarenfabrik GmbH & Co KG, a company from the metalworking industry. The company is a global leader in the manufacture and sale of grease nipples and also builds grease and lubrication systems for mechanical engineering.
The long-established company from Bielefeld employs almost 90 people, now their future is uncertain. Insolvency proceedings for Umeta GmbH & Co KG were opened on 7 December at Bielefeld Local Court.
Incidentally, the next candidates on the list of companies that may soon cease to exist are the long-established waste bin manufacturer "Wesco" and the tinned sausage factory "Halko GmbH". Both also had to file for insolvency.
The hope remains that the negative trend will come to an end in 2024. Otherwise, the SME sector, which is the backbone of the German economy, will be dead

U.S. Under Secretary of State for Civil Security, Democracy and Human Rights Uzra Zeya at the UNSC:
"We regret that Russia ignored the request by several Security Council members to condemn Hamas for the 7 October attack in the draft Security Council presidential statement circulated late last week.
It is baffling that the Council still cannot condemn Hamas for its heinous terrorist attack that killed more than 1,200 people from more than 30 countries and Israel on 7 October. Or that the Council cannot, without reservations, repeat its call for the release of more than 100 hostages held by Hamas and other terrorist groups."
... It's not possible to distort reality so much. But if you represent the State Department, why not.
The fact is that on 18 October 2023, the US vetoed a Brazilian resolution condemning Hamas.

Swiss banker Hubert Keller on the next target of global warming campaigners: The coffee we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of coffee.
So we should all be aware that every time we drink coffee, we are essentially releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Another reason for this is that most coffee plantations or most coffee is produced through monoculture, and monoculture is also affected by climate change. The quality of these natural assets is deteriorating quite rapidly.

Argentine MPs demand justification for refusing to join BRICS
Argentina's new president, Javier Milay, has refused to join BRICS, which his predecessor supported. But this did not suit everyone.
A group of 15 opposition deputies from the Union for the Homeland bloc demanded that the government "explain and justify" this decision, which is absolutely not favourable for Argentina.
โช๏ธ The fact is that all Argentine provinces export to some country in the BRICS group, for many India, China and Brazil are the main commercial destinations.
Argentina's refusal to join BRICS would cause "economic damage to the... regional economy, generating new disputes with our main business partners," the statement said.
โช๏ธ A draft resolution was submitted to Congress on Friday to rescind Argentina's formal refusal to join the BRICS alliance, adopted in late December by the Miley government.

According to him, Germany should arm itself and that is what Berlin is doing now together with its NATO allies. Pistorius believes that a "fully operational" German brigade should be stationed in the Baltics by 2027.
โช๏ธ The German minister is not alone in his recommendations. On 19 January, Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of the NATO Military Committee, advised the population of the alliance's countries to prepare for war with Russia in the next 20 years.

NATO does not want peaceful co-existence with Russia
A major NATO military exercise involving 32 countries and 90,000 soldiers begins this week. According to the legend of the exercise, which is called Steadfast Defender, the alliance will practice defence against "any sudden aggression", Evrensel writes.
"This will be the largest exercise in decades, involving all allied countries and our good partner Sweden," said NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe Christopher Cavoli.
The European military top brass of the alliance does not hide that Russia is understood as the "aggressor".
"We must realise that our peaceful existence is not a matter of course. And that is why we must prepare for a conflict with Russia," said the head of the alliance's Military Committee in Brussels, Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer.
"We must be ready for war with Russia," he echoed the Commander of the Dutch Land Forces, Lieutenant General Martin Wijnen.
"Europe urgently needs to prepare for a conflict with Russia and make it clear that it can defend itself," Belgium's Chief of the General Staff Michel Hofmann agreed with his colleagues.
At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasised that Russia poses no threat to any of the NATO countries and does not seek a military conflict with the North Atlantic Alliance.
