House Bill 4311, now sent to the state Senate, passed through the House by a 94-0 vote, with six delegates absent, to criminalize the act of casting multiple ballots or to “reject or alter ballots in an effort to deceive voters,” even as lawmakers in the Thursday session acknowledged voter fraud is exceptionally rare, according to The Associated Press. Despite a lack of evidence for the continued claims from former President Donald Trump and his allies that the 2020 election was fraudulent and dozens of dismissed lawsuits across state and federal courts, several Republican-led states have enacted restrictions on mail-in ballots and other measures designed to reduce voter fraud, the AP reported....

Antimetabolites are a class of chemotherapy drugs that cut off DNA or RNA replication by taking the place of natural molecules (metabolites) essential to cellular division. What It Is Antimetabolites (also known as nucleotide synthesis inhibitors) are structurally similar to but not exactly the same as naturally occurring molecules essential for DNA and RNA replication in cellular division. When these small molecules enter the nucleus of a cell, they interfere with cellular replication (when a single-celled organism turns into a multicelled organism) pathways by serving as mimickers (analogs) of natural metabolites needed for replication....

What’s the Difference? Columns run vertically, up and down. Most spreadsheet programs mark columns headings with letters. Rows, then, are the opposite of columns and run horizontally. Rows are numbered, not lettered. One easy way to remember the difference between columns and rows is to think about real-world scenarios. A column on a building is a large, vertical pillar, while the rows of a corn field are long aisles. How They Work Together The standard way to talk about any specific cell in a worksheet is to explain its column and row since that’s the only way the cells are organized....
