The military, the president said, “will increase surveillance, seizures of drug shipments, and provide additional support for eradication efforts that are going on right now at a record pace.” “These additional forces will nearly double our capacity to conduct counter-narcotics operations in the region,” Defense Secretary Mark Esper said.

The observation was made using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s biggest particle accelerator. It works by accelerating two beams of hadrons—protons or ions specifically—around and around in a 27-kilometer circle before smashing them into each other at nearly the speed of light. Afterwards, extremely sensitive detectors are used to look at what happened in the fractions of a second following that collision. The idea is that high-energy collisions of particles can temporarily produce rare, exotic particles we don’t ordinarily see, and these rare particles can tell us about some of the most fundamental characteristics of our universe: Where mass comes from, for example, and what dark matter and dark energy are....

Calcium reduction prevents the blood vessels from tightening, increasing blood pressure. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). ARBs block the action of the hormone angiotensin II, which can directly narrow (constrict) the blood vessels and increase blood pressure....
