     The record plasma generated by the Wendelstein 7-X has now been analyzed in high detail. At high plasma temperatures and low turbulence losses, the usual stellarator magnetic ripple losses in the energy balance could be observed. They accounted for about thirty percent of the heating power, which is a considerable part of the energy balance.

HIV Vaccine in Development by Moderna

Moderna is being admired as a hero by many after the company's vaccine provided life-saving Coronavirus prevention for millions of people, and now the company has announced that they're ready to start trials on an HIV vaccine. This development is an amazing accomplishment. Hopefully the trials are successful and the company is able to prevent yet another life-threatening illness.

Staples For No-Cook Meals

My teen loves to cook, but not to clean up. The cleanup is what keeps me from cooking much in the summer! I can't wait fall when we can use the crockpot again. We don't have air conditioning in the kitchen so heat from cooking plus cleanup time equals no fun. So you can bet if I can avoid cooking or get takeout, I will. One of the best things to do to keep from cooking is to keep a bunch of salad staples in your house.

Biden Administration Addresses Trans Kids

Sugar Milk Co. Summer Sale

Sugar Milk Co. has always looked tempting to me. So many sweet treats! So many fun flavors! But I have enough lotions and perfumes so I always find it hard to justify spending more when I have what I need. That said, right now they have a 20% off sale going on through Sunday, which is super tempting. Just use the code PARTYSALE to get the discount. They have perfumes of all sizes, including minis for under $3 to try, lip oils (which sound super intriguing to me), lotions and many other products to try.
