#Molecular characterisation of novel #reassortants of the G57 #genotype of low-pathogenic avian #influenza #H9N2 virus isolated from #poultry #farms in #Malaysia


Source: Archives of Virology, link.springer.com/article/10.1…

Abstract
In late 2017, Malaysia reported repeated outbreaks of low-pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAI) H9N2 infections in commercial poultry flocks. Two H9N2 viruses, A/chicken/Malaysia/Negeri Sembilan/UPM994/2018 and A/chicken/Malaysia/Johore/UPM2033/2019, which were isolated from breeder and layer flocks in Peninsular Malaysia, were characterised in this study. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both viruses were multiple-genotype reassortant strains with genes originating from Y280-like (HA gene), F/98-like (NS, NP and PA), G1-like (M and PB2), and Korean-like (PB1) lineages, indicating that they belong to a novel genotype that is divergent from the G57 lineage of Chinese origin. Both isolates were predicted to have a dibasic cleavage site (333-PSRSSRGLF-341) in the HA gene cleavage locations. Thus, the novel Malaysian H9N2 strain is a Y280-like virus resembling H9N2 isolates from Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, and Cambodia. This virus is of the G57 lineage but has a novel genotype of the PB1 gene originating from a Korean-lineage H9N2 virus, which has not been detected before in the region.

A senior official in the Biden-Harris administration whose ties to environmental extremist groups drew scrutiny during her Senate confirmation hearings was selected to lead the anti-fossil fuel nonprofit The Wilderness Society when she leaves her current post. The non-profit's PAC has donated more than $50,000 to many progressive candidates, including Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Bob Casey. D-Pa., and Kamala Harris, according to public records.

I know that the Biden family have participated in a lot of child trafficking and abuse and they were also involved in creating a bio weapon lab in Ukraine, which was why Russia attacked Ukraine. Biden's son was also accused of very serious crimes, just like his father, both are pedophiles and they probably have committed more crimes that have not been made public, they are really evil, satanic people.

- right away it's confirmed in a flashback that aliens really did kill Kitami's family

- aliens aren't just ruining the labor market and enjoy undeserved privileges, they're also incredibly shitty neighbors.

- IS THAT A FUCKING HOLOHAUX JOKE!?

- Alien "youths" :shit:

- only a small, rich segment of humanity is actually reaping the benefits of the alien presence on earth.

- Nomamoto might be a genocidal gourmet, but she's still a girl who needs a man's help to twist open bottle caps.

- as aliens begin to live in fear, the streets once more become safe for humans.

America’s W.E. Fairbairn: How Francois d’Eliscu Taught US Rangers “To Kill or Be Killed”

youtube.com/watch?v=WsOdmJPHM3…

At first sight, Francois d’Eliscu was a short, balding, middle-aged man. He had the look of the intellectual about him – indeed he possessed several college degrees & a doctorate & was called by some the “Little Professor”. The reality was, however, that this unassuming looking man, this balding teacher – was one of America’s most lethal hand to hand combat instructors of WWII.

"My Father taught Close Quarter combat to the British infantry.He called it Rough Housing.The first rule was there were no rules except your opponent dies!"

I don't know how to save videos off of Facebook, but if you love dogs you should see this! Beautiful!
OMG! It made me cry. It was so great! The reason I love dogs is that I have always had a connection with them spiritually, and them with me, and this was a demonstration of that experience. I won't ever have another dog for their sake, so I was thrilled and sad both.

Bonjour, @davidrevoy

Ma fille a gagné une X-Pen 2nde génération et elle est inquiète pour la résistance de l’écran : en gros, elle est habituée à bosser avec des films de protection sur la Cintiq et là, on dirait que les écrans laminés de la gen2 sont prévus pour être utilisés directement.

Ça résiste bien à l’usure ou ce n’est pas une bonne idée ?

Merci pour ton avis d’utilisateur intensif.

in reply to Le Monolecte 😷🤬🐧

Alors j'ai testé en mode bourrin ( voir la séquence de quelques secondes ici: peertube.touhoppai.moe/w/vdjYv… ) et les revêtements laminés de XPpen 'gen 2' sont les plus résistants que j'ai jamais vue. Elle peut dessiner avec bague, bracelet, et les chats peuvent faire de la patinoire sans risque dessus avec leurs griffes.

C'est vrai que ça change, j'en ai rayé des Cintiqs (non intentionnellement, parfois, juste avec le stylet et des poussières dans l'air 😅 )

@kyoku57

Merci beaucoup, vraiment ! 🎉

Elle vient de passer 2 heures à chouiner à cause du film d’origine qu’elle ne veut pas enlever et qui gâche un peu (beaucoup) les sensations et qui a le don de me taper sur le système.

Elle est effectivement trauma de la Cintiq, qui est super, mais qui a raye en éternuant dessus.

Venant de toi, ça va être plus crédible que venant de moi.

(du coup, je louche un peu dessus, surtout que j’ai vu chez toi que c’est OK pour Linux).

in reply to Le Monolecte 😷🤬🐧

@kyoku57 Ha oui, c'est vrai que par contre la sensation est très lisse chez XPpen, voir même "huileuse" comparé aux revêtements de certaines Cintiq à grain. Ca doit donner l'impression d'une patinoire et de pas contrôler le stylet, de manque de friction. Plus loin dans la vidéo, je montre ce que je fais pour ça: avec un papier de verre grain 400, j'abrase un peu la mine pour avoir un léger plat. Ca restore un peu plus de friction. Les mines neuves on tendance à être très lisses.
in reply to Le Monolecte 😷🤬🐧

@kyoku57 Intéressant. Merci, je ne connaissait pas. Après, tous les films à grain que j'ai testé par le passé viennent souvent avec un léger sacrifice: un peu de contraste perdu pour les couleurs ou un peu moins de netteté des détails de l'écran. C'est souvent décevant.

En tout cas bravo à elle pour avoir gagné ce matos; et si la friction fait partie intégrale de son style, ça doit valoir le coup d'essayer de bricoler les mines, voir même d'installer ce nouvel overlay. Bon courage!

And... As predicted by a few of you, RFKj withdraws from the Presidential race.

The Kennedy/Trump team-up will now begin? 🤔 (Especially after they engineered the leaked video...) Trump might actually have less of a Deep State administrative lineup this time. (Or at least new Deep State who didn't get their crack yet...) But it's probably the best one can hope for at the bottom of the pit. It's better than the other choice. It'll take generations to get better (e.g. more responsive to public pressure) candidates.

Everyone is overthinking this maneuver in it's entirety. Just like they did the fake Trump assassination. I see all the cringe Based-RFK megapower merger with Trumpamania content on X. It's copium. He's kneeling before mRNA-Zod, and this is what warp speed was about. Bobby a key piece meant to bring the platform to life.

He spends the leadup to the covid fiasco taking HGH and harping on the ills of the existing schedule: individual jabs, different jabs, some jabs are good, some jabs are bad, adjuvants-adjuvants-adjuvants, "I'm not anti-vaccine, I want safe and effective jabs"

THE DAY Fauci talks about the coming plandemic, Bobby goes to Trump Tower. I wonder what they were talking about?

Amidst the hubbub of repo market failures, Epstein-fever, stalling Urka-nazi arms sales, and quid pro quo impeachment, Trump signs the Flu Vax "Modernization" EO ... which calls for circulating antigen detection - did everyone miss that part?

Miraculously as the Chyna Trade stalemate winds down, some people fall over in front of cameras in Wuhan. They call it Covid-19. The spike protein scooby doo kicks off. Was it a rab reak? Was it natural? The "spike protein" sounds pretty scary - and now we're injecting people with instructions to make that f'n thing? And later mandating it? And it might be making prions? Oh well, at least it doesn't have adjuvants.

Lo and behold, there were some injuries, but billions of people were injected, and look, there's an astronomical amount of evidence cultivated on this one type of jab. Platform proven, I'd say. It makes antibodies. Spike protein bad. MMR antigens good?

And now Bobby is going to be tasked with figuring out what's going on with chronic illness and "solve" the JFK assassination. Both are equally likely to happen. Cue the whoopie cushion.

So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.

1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past
2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years

This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".

Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.

The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However me and my wife are real. Mixed feelings.

Much has been said of how the #UnitedHealthcare dude was apparently a wonderful father/husband/family man/etc. I'm sure his family would have thought so, and I understand that they will be feeling their loss, but I find it impossible to reconcile "being a good father" with "being personally responsible for other peoples' kids experiencing unnecessary pain, disability or death and fine with that".

If you claim to be a good parent but are content to let other peoples' kids experience trauma you'd never allow your own kids to go through then you're not a good parent, you're a shitty human being.
