Whoops! The wife of an NFL quarterback got a little sloppy in keeping up with her firearm.
Lauren Tannehill, wife of Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, forgot her semi-automatic AR-15 rifle in a rental car.
Forgetting your weapon somewhere isn’t a crime, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. But it was a little shocking for the next person who rented the car and discovered the rifle.
“It was disturbing to find it. I’m just glad you know that somebody didn’t have a little kid in the car or something. Or some criminal. Oh great a gun! I can go do something with it,” said Judith Fleissig, mother of the person who found it.
“This certainly isn’t the kind of item you want to forget anywhere, but forgetting isn’t a crime,” said Broward County Heriff’s Office spokesperson Keyla Concepcion.
It was unclear late Wednesday whether the Tannehills had retrieved their gun.

Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Program
A Joint Venture of Provincial Government, Local Government and Karuna Foundation Nepal
Project Area:117 (Rural)Municipalities of Province No.1
Direct Constituents:- 77,770 (persons with disabilities), 311,080 (family members), 785, 754 children under 10 years of age and 281, 754 Golden 1000 days mothers
Goal: To contribute to the reduction of preventable disabilities, maternal and neonatal deaths and development of disability inclusive society
1. To increase access to and utilization of maternal and neonatal health and nutrition services by all sections of populations
2. To improve quality of lives of persons with disabilites and their families
3. To contribute towards strengthening of community support system and service providers including health institutions, among others.
Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Program (DPRP), previously known as “Inspire2Care”, is now officially on the radar of the Government of Nepal. The three parties: provincial government, local government, and Karuna Foundation Nepal have come together to decrease the incidence of birth defects, reduce maternal and neonatal mortalities, and develop disability inclusive society in Province 1. The implementation is governed by the ‘Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation (Implementation) Guideline 2019’, endorsed by the Province 1
Government. While the program kicks off with preparatory activities solely financed by Karuna in the first six months, the first two years of the program are financed equally by the three parties. Then Karuna Foundation Nepal exits from the municipalities after an additional year of technical support. This makes a program cycle of 3.5 years including the first six months of preparatory activities. The program will then continue independently with joint financing of the municipality and the province government.
Th local government, the implementing partner to this program executes prevention targetted activities via local health facilities and Community Based Rehabilitation activities are led by CBR Facilitators. The CBR Facilitators are community workers with a background in health and are appointed by local governments.

Detroit Council members are hoping for quick resolution to legal questions surrounding the city's recent consent agreement with the state.
But members disagree on whether that resolution should come in court.
At issue is a legal analysis prepared by Krystal Crittendon, the city's top attorney, who in a letter to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Treasurer Andy Dillon, called the consent agreement "void and unenforceable" because of an alleged outstanding debt owed the city by the state.
Detroit's new charter gives Crittendon the power to challenge the agreement without approval of the executive or legislative branch, and Council President Charles Pugh expects her to file suit in Ingham County Circuit Court this week or next.
"I want a judge to decide," Pugh told reporters after today's council meeting, arguing that a quick ruling would allow council to move forward with its appointments to the financial advisory board, as required by the consent agreement.
But Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown disagreed, noting that there is no guarantee of a quick ruling and that a legal challenge could cost the city valuable resources, exacerbating the very problem the consent agreement was designed to resolve.
"I'm against going to court at all," Brown said. "What's the end game in going to court -- bankruptcy if in fact a judge rules that this is an illegal agreement? There's no plan B attached to going to court."
Council approved the deal with the state in April, a narrow 5-4 vote allowing the city to avoid appointment of an emergency manager by agreeing to new budgeting practices and additional layers of state oversight.
Snyder and Dillon both said last week that they hope the legal analysis is simply a "misunderstanding," and Mayor Dave Bing said Friday that he does not think a lawsuit is in order.
Council is expected to vote on Bing's proposed 2012-13 budget on Thursday despite uncertainty over salary allocations for financial advisory board members and other appointees required by the consent agreement.

Maximizing Your Social Security Benefits: How Proper Planning Can Help You Receive an Increased Amount in Social Security Benefits
Please join your host, Barbara Swiatek of SF Financial Services, for an educational Social Security Workshop at the acclaimed Tucanos Brazilian Grill. The Social Security Act of 1935 ensured that hard working Americans would have income to support them during retirement. Over time, Social Security may have reduced worries about retirement to the point that many people don’t give their Social Security a second thought. Many people don’t realize that with a little planning, they can receive more in Social Security benefits than expected as well as leverage other sources of income for retirement.
The simple fact is that Social Security may not be straightforward for everyone. Just like some other facet of saving for retirement, there are strategies you can employ to optimize the benefits you are eligible to receive – particularly among married couples. That’s why we would like to invite you to this special event. By learning the facts about Social Security options, you could receive more income over the length of your retirement that may help you and your spouse.
Discussion Highlights Include:
- What is the current status of Social Security?
- When is the optimal time for me to start drawing Social Security Benefits?
- How can I maximize benefits for myself and my spouse?
- What are Delayed Retirement Credits and how can I use them to earn more income?
- How can I prepare to receive retirement benefits?
- What are other strategies I can implement to maximize my retirement income?

Europeans introduced the important craft of iron making to Appalachia in the 16th century. Iron ore was discovered all over the region. Large deposits were found in Pennsylvania. Smaller ones were scattered in places like Cherokee, Ashe, and Avery Counties in Western North Carolina, where small-scale furnaces and bloomery forges supplied the demand generated by local blacksmiths. Small mountain bloomery forges used coal or charcoal to smelt the ore. The refined metal was then beaten by large hammers lifted and dropped by water wheels. Much of the iron produced in those small forges was cast iron that smiths beat into utensils and tools for household use. Some of it was cast into large blocks, or pigs, of iron for transport and resale to blacksmiths in other places.

After months of planning, researching, and booking (by Justin) and months of anticipating the fun of a fully-planned 9 week adventure (by me) we’re off! We realized the great distribution of labor in our relationship when I loved wedding planning and Justin loved the honeymoon planning. So 100% of this trip is credit to Justin’s planning. Well, maybe 95% — I was involved a bit with our Africa plans.
Thankfully for me, Justin spent years saving frequent flier miles with the goal of ‘someday booking round-the-world flights in business class’ for his honeymoon. I was happy to oblige as the travel companion for that! Flying to Nairobi (SFO-JFK-Doha–Nairobi) takes about a day and a half (with 24 hours in the air). Those business class seats already feel like heaven and we are both so grateful and excited to be traveling with this comfort!
Typical of many of our trips together, Justin has done all the planning and baked in a few surprises along the way. All I know is that we’ll be traveling for 9 weeks, visiting 9 countries, taking 29 flights (and 2 ferries), seeing gorillas, wildebeest and having a trip of a lifetime. Let the adventure begin!

Fog At Dawn - Poem by Steven Federle
"We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent, and God is shining through it all the time...He is everywhere, He is in everything, and we cannot be without Him." Thomas Merton
Morning fog softens
spreads through the bare trees, muffles
the cries of the birds.
Edges blur, rounded
fog, logic of cloud earthbound:
faith betrayed and drowned.

Dan Berry / The New York Times – 2008-02-26 22:37:21
Living With Danger, and Wondering
How to Live Without It
NEWPORT, Ind. (ebruary 25, 2008) — The employees pull up to the gate, show their identification cards to the armed security guards and continue on. They drive past wooded stretches and open fields, past the occasional frolicking deer, and park before buildings of almost requisite ugliness. Shift time.
Save for those stockpiles of chemical warfare agent on the grounds, the Newport Chemical Depot could be any other industrial plant. But here they are, steel containers of viscous fluid the color of straw and as lethal as almost anything on earth.
The agent’s benign name, VX, leaves people to wonder if the V stands for victory or venomous, while its very nature challenges the imagination to convey the deadliness at hand. Just know that a drop on the skin can cause gruesome death in minutes.
During the cold war, this rural corner of west-central Indiana produced thousands of tons of VX for the government. Now this same rural corner is oh-so-carefully neutralizing a sizable portion of the VX it made long ago, in keeping with international treaty and the ever-peculiar endeavors of humankind.
Of course, for those on the other side of the plant’s fence, all of this has meant adapting to unthinkable thoughts. Sara Morgan, a retired teacher who over the years has challenged some Army decisions regarding the VX stockpile, says she lives in a farming area that, in preparations for a major chemical accident, used to be referred to as “the dead zone.”
“Now they call it the Immediate Response Zone,” she says wryly. “The I.R.Z.”
Still, many people here are proud that when their country called, they answered, conducting a cradle-to-grave mission that should be completed by late summer. They worry less about the risks of the job – no injury or death so far – than they do about the loss of hundreds of jobs when that last droplet of VX is destroyed at what is the largest employer in Vermillion County.
The nerve agent is so much with the community that it has nearly lost its ghastliness. A local calendar features both the artwork of schoolchildren and tips for emergency preparedness; next month, then, the drawings of Kyle and Amber and Brittney will appear below the explanation that VX “affects the nervous system by interfering with the signals sent from the brain to the vital organs and other body parts.”
These calendars, along with pens, decks of cards and other informational items, are free at the Newport Chemical Stockpile Outreach Office in nearby Clinton, where a white hazmat suit is displayed in the window and the office manager, Susan Gilman, describes the work at the depot as “our contribution to national security.”
That contribution stretches back to 1941, when the Army took over several square miles of farmland, along with some homes and a few cemeteries, to build an installation. First it produced explosives, then heavy water, and then, in 1961, a “deterrent”: the nerve agent called VX.
By the time President Nixon declared a moratorium on chemical weapons in 1969, the Newport plant had produced 4,500 tons of VX – enough, if judiciously applied, to kill nearly everyone on the planet. Although most of it had already been shipped in bombs and rockets to various American bases, the plant still had more than 1,200 tons of VX, which raised the question: Now what?
For several years the steel containers, each one holding nearly 180 gallons of VX, lay on the ground outside, like abandoned farm equipment. Then they sat for 25 years inside a warehouse, until the attacks of 9/11 prompted the Army to store them in gravel-covered igloos surrounded by guards, fencing and signs that say, “Use of Deadly Force Authorized.”
There is, though, one homey touch: the igloo entrances are painted to resemble red barn doors.
A couple of years ago the Army finished decontaminating and tearing down anything used to produce VX. Now, in new buildings a few dozen yards away, a government contractor is neutralizing one steel container of the chemical agent at a time, in a project that is expected to cost nearly $2 billion.
Most depot employees were either very young or not yet born when their country decided it simply had to have VX; some have parents who helped to create the chemical agent. Their inheritance, then, is a well-paying but very strange, very delicate assignment.
Each container of VX is removed by forklift from its igloo, strapped to a truck bed and carried a quarter-mile to the “demilitarization facility.” No container is moved in rain or snow, to eliminate the remote chance that a VX droplet escapes and is mistaken for mere precipitation.
The container is placed in a chamber designed to keep humans separate from chemicals made to kill them. The VX is drained into a larger vessel, and the emptied container is flushed with a hot caustic solution, rinsed, dried and baked for 90 minutes at 1350 degrees Fahrenheit. Eventually it finds its way to a scrap-metal recycler in Alabama.
The VX, meanwhile, is mixed and cooked with a solution of sodium hydroxide and water, until the nerve agent is destroyed and caustic wastewater, called hydrolysate, is left. This wastewater is then sampled for trace amounts of VX; about one of every four batches needs further cooking to kill the stuff. But, again, now what?
After years of contentious debate and thwarted plans, the Army quietly – secretly, some say – struck a deal in 2007 to truck the byproduct 1,000 miles south to Port Arthur, Tex., for incineration. So far, those who say the incineration is environmentally hazardous have failed in court to stop the shipments.
Here, meanwhile, feelings remain mixed about, of all things, VX. “It’s such an odd set of circumstances,” says Ed Cole, the executive director of the Vermillion County Economic Development Council. “We want the threat to go away, because that would allow us to market the county more effectively. But once that VX is gone, we’ll lose 830 to 1,000 jobs.”
Luckily, horribly, the Newport Chemical Depot still has more than 200 tons of a deadly cold war remnant to destroy. This means that at least for another few months, some people in west-central Indiana will continue to keep their country safe from a threat, real and self-created.

Prague: On Celetná street, in the heart of the historic Old Town district, Prague’s Black Madonna cafe has been selling out of a confection that looks remarkably like the novel coronavirus.
Customers can find the treat in the dessert display case, behind a small card that simply says “virus.” The chocolate-covered dessert with pistachio-and-raspberry filling is about the size of a tennis ball, with virus “spikes” composed of white chocolate and dried raspberries.
“I found a photo of the virus on the internet,” Olga Budnik, the dessert’s creator told. “I figured out in detail how to make the dessert – how to make the spikes, what the colour would be like, and I prepared it all.”
Budnik’s coronavirus-inspired confection has been a huge success, with triple-digit sales each day and rising. “ATTENTION!” begins a recent post on the cafe’s Facebook page that encourages parties of three or more people to make a reservation if they will be ordering virus cakes.
Hoping to parlay one success into another, Budnik told Reuters that she is already brainstorming her next confectionary masterpiece: A Covid-19 vaccination-themed sweet which should taste of citrus and liqueur. “It will be lots of lime with a bit of alcohol,” she said.

Payoff personal loans focus solely on helping their members reduce high-interest credit card debt. In the United States, credit card debt is mounting into the billions and continues to rise—especially for Millennials. Financial experts agree that credit card debt should be paid off before auto loans or mortgages, as this kind of debt can balloon quickly due to high-interest rates.
Individuals who are in need of debt consolidation loans but do not have credit card debt will not be approved by Payoff.
Payoff’s borrowers may choose a loan term length that works best for them. Options for term lengths range between two and five years. You have the opportunity to preview and agree to the loan’s terms before accepting the funds.
The rates for Payoff personal loans are potentially half of what many customers are paying on their credit card debt. APR ranges from 5.99% to 24.99%. This is determined by the individual’s creditworthiness along with other factors. Payoff’s APRs are fixed, not adjustable. This means your rate will stay the same throughout the life of the loan.
Unlike many lenders, Payoff is transparent with their fees. They charge an origination fee that equals between 0% and 5% of the total amount of the loan. However, the fee is only charged once and is not hidden within the repayment process. The only other fee they charge is a returned payment fee of $15 per payment.
They also do not charge many other common fees, specifically:
When applying online for Payoff personal loans, individuals are able to choose the loan amount as well. You can choose to borrow between $5,000 and $35,000, but a member advocate will contact you to discuss the requested amount.
Sometimes, the approved loan amount may be less than what you have requested. Payoff will make this determination based on their experience with your particular kind of debt.
Individuals interested in applying for a Payoff personal loan should first review the requirements and check for errors or other concerns in their credit history before they apply online.
With the low rates and personalized support offered by Payoff, the qualifications for approval are stringent but also quite transparent. The criteria considered are:
Payoff uses TransUnion, which may differ from other credit bureaus, when determining credit scores. Qualifying borrowers must have a score of at least 640.
In order to receive a debt consolidation loan to pay off your credit cards, you must be able to demonstrate that your annual income is at least $25,000.
It does not take long to rack up credit card debt, but Payoff requires that you have at least three problem-free years on your credit report. You also must have two open lines of credit with payments you’ve made on time. This should include no more than one installment loan, including what are known as point-of-sale or “buy now, pay later” loans, taken out within the last year.
Because the Payoff personal loan program is focused specifically on paying off credit card debt, credit card debt is a requirement for approval. If you plan to use the loan to consolidate other debt, such as student loans, auto loans or medical bills, you will have to seek another lender.
However, you should not have credit delinquencies on your credit report. If you have outstanding payments, you should resolve those issues before applying for Payoff personal loans.
Also known as a DTI ratio, a debt-to-income ratio is simply your monthly debt payments divided into the amount of money you bring in every month before taxes and deductions. To qualify for a Payoff loan, your debt-to-income ratio must be 50% or less. For example, if your combined debt payments are $500 each month, your monthly income must be at least $1,000.
There is a four-part process for applying for a Payoff loan:
Members are able to pay down their loans each month through a direct withdrawal from their bank account. However, if you wish to pay extra toward your loan, you will either have to pay exactly the same amount as your normal payment or switch to manually submitting each payment from your bank.
Overall, customers report that Payoff’s application and approval process is extremely fast. If there are questions, member advocates are available from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST Monday through Friday, as well as 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST on Saturdays. Members may also leave a message after hours for a response once the office reopens.
To contact a member advocate, the options include:
Payoff additionally takes pride in having a much more robust customer experience beyond the initial approval process. As is evident by the fact that the company calls its customers “members,” they offer benefits to those that join them. The benefits include:
One of the most unique benefits for those with Payoff personal loans is that there are no penalties for missing payments. You have the ability to work with a representative to either defer the payment, change the date the payment is due, or even skip the payment altogether.
Payoff understands that not everyone looking to eliminate their credit card debt can qualify for their program. If you apply but do not have a high enough credit score to be approved, Payoff will offer enrollment in a program called Lift.
Lift offers tips and tools to help people improve their credit scores, cut spending, and regain control of their finances over time. One tool available is a categorization of your spending habits based on your banking activities.
For those who qualify and are committed to improving their financial health over the long run, Payroll personal loans can offer a solution to eliminating or greatly reducing credit card debt.
Based in Costa Mesa, California, Payoff started in 2009 as less of a lending agency and more of a behavioral science experiment.
The founders partnered with researchers, clinical psychologists, data scientists, and neuroscientists to help customers change their mindsets in order to fundamentally change how they make financial decisions.
Customers, whom Payoff refers to as “members,” work one-on-one with Payoff’s “member advocates” to alleviate their debts and get their money to work for them.
Payoff is not a bank, but rather a financial wellness company that works with lending partners to originate loans ranging from $5,000 to $35,000 for those who qualify.
They offer extremely competitive rates, making Payoff’s loans an attractive option over many high-interest credit cards. To originate the loans, Payoff works with First Electronic Bank. This bank is insured by FDIC and based in Utah.
Along with debt consolidation options, Payoff offers members a wide variety of educational materials that support a path to financial freedom. Payoff’s blog is filled with useful tips and suggestions on personal finance, while the company’s “Happy Money” team has an interactive app built to change your perspective on money while increasing your happiness.

NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have joined forces to develop and launch the world’s first wooden satellite, called LignoSat. This innovative initiative aims to make spaceflight more sustainable. The satellite, which is about the size of a coffee mug, will be constructed using magnolia wood.
Wood offers unique advantages in space as it does not burn or rot in the vacuum. However, upon reentry into Earth’s atmosphere, it will incinerate into a fine ash, making it a promising material for biodegradable satellites. Earlier this year, the scientists successfully tested wood samples aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to determine the feasibility of the project.
The researchers sent three wood samples—magnolia, cherry, and birch—to the ISS and exposed them to the harsh environment of outer space for ten months. After thorough analysis, they selected magnolia as the ideal wood for the satellite due to its durability during the manufacturing process.
The primary objective of using wooden satellites is to address the growing concern of space debris. Currently, more than 9,300 tons of space objects, including defunct satellites and rocket parts, orbit Earth. These objects, made mostly of metals like titanium and aluminum, contribute to light pollution, hindering observations of distant space phenomena.
Wooden satellites like LignoSat are expected to be less harmful as space junk, as they will naturally degrade upon reentry into the atmosphere. Moreover, constructing spacecraft from wood is cost-effective and reduces the risk of damage to the International Space Station, other manned spacecraft, and potential hazards for humans on Earth.
The launch for LignoSat is scheduled for summer 2024, marking a significant step towards achieving sustainability in space exploration.

During its annual user conference Extreme Connect in Nashville, USA, network specialist Extreme Networks took a first step towards the intelligent and fully automated autonomous or self-driving and self-healing network of the future. With Extreme Elements, end-users can gradually transform their existing networks into this network environment of the future.
According to the network specialist, companies and organisations today no longer want to have the network technology that restricts them in innovation. Increasingly, they want flexible solutions and applications that adapt their networks precisely to their own needs and for their own sector.
To meet these needs, Extreme Networks has launched its new network philosophy, Elements. Based on the Natural and Chemical Periodic System, the network supplier now offers a combination of hardware, software and services – building blocks – that offer companies and organisations real customisation in the area of networking. In addition, this combination can be specifically tailored to the vertical market in which it operates.
Step to autonomous networks and business environments
In addition, these building blocks are now fully integrated with human – in the form of the renowned customer support of the network vendor – and artificial intelligence, such as machine learning. This should ultimately enable the next-generation autonomous network and then, of course, the autonomous enterprise.
According to Extreme Networks, network architecture, automation and human intelligence come together in complete harmony within this fully automated business environment. Furthermore, the Elements solutions and applications are completely safe and support multi-vendor environments within an ecosystem of partners based on open standards.
Various building blocks
More specifically, Extreme Elements consists of parts of the network specialist’s well-known Smart OmniEdge, Automated Campus and Agile Data Center solutions. These hardware and software solutions are linked by various tools for analytics, automation, security and IoT solutions.
Important building blocks within the strategy include the well-known management and visibility network tool Extreme Management Center (XMC), the IOT security solution ExtremeAI Security, which was also launched this week, the network orchestration tool Extreme Workflow Composer, analytics tool Extreme Analytics and the IOT security application Defender for IoT, which was launched earlier this year.

In their report in Nature Genetics, published online on Sunday 17 June 2007, the researchers compared the genomes of L. infantum and L. braziliensis, which cause life-threatening visceral and disfiguring mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, respectively, with the sequence they produced in 2005 for L. major, which causes a less severe, cutaneous form of the disease. Despite the major differences in disease type, only 200 out of more than 8000 genes present in each genome were found to be differentially distributed between the three species. This exceptionally small variation in gene content has given new insights into those processes that may determine disease severity in humans.
"Identifying factors that allow three closely related organisms to cause vastly different clinical outcomes is a major quest for researchers and in this study we have narrowed the search to a number that can be realistically studied," commented Dr Matt Berriman, senior author on the paper, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
The researchers found only five genes in the L. major genome for which no trace could be found in the other two species. By contrast, in Plasmodium, which causes malaria, about 20% of genes differ between related species.
"Clearly there must have been considerable evolutionary pressure over time to maintain the structure and sequence of the Leishmania genomes - the degree of similarity between these species was unexpected," explained Professor Deborah Smith, collaborator on this project at the University of York. "Perhaps only a few parasite genes are important in determining which type of disease develops after infection and the host genome plays a major role in clinical outcome."
The results picked up another surprising finding: the team could assign a function to only one-third of the 200 genes restricted to one or two of the species.
"The genome sequences have given us a short-cut to a small number of largely novel genes," explained Dr Chris Peacock, first author on the report. "Given their lack of similarity to human genes, they present a limited repertoire of potential targets for drug and vaccine development allowing researchers to optimise the use of limited resources."
Leishmaniasis is one of the neglected diseases that desperately need new research, as WHO/TDR notes: "Treatment of visceral leishmanisis by first-line drugs is long (4 weeks), given systemically, and expensive (US$120–150)". The affordable drugs have been in use for more than half a century and drug resistance is rife, creating a desperate need for new treatments. Biological studies for the function of 50% of Leishmania genes are lacking, so this comparative genome study provides a route to find those that might be essential to each species.
One potential target is the CFAS gene that codes for cyclopropane fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that may be involved in producing components of the cell membrane. CFAS is present in the genomes of L. braziliensis and L. infantum, but is absent from the human genome. The parasite genes are thought to have been acquired from bacterial species that have very similar sequences.
"CFAS is involved in virulence and persistence in Mycobacterium, causative agent of tuberculosis, so the identification of a CFAS gene in Leishmania raises the exciting possibility that some virulence factors are conserved between bacterial and eukaryotic intracellular pathogens," said Jeremy Mottram, a collaborator on the project who is a Professor in the Wellcome Centre for Molecular Parasitology at the University of Glasgow.
Some families of genes that determine the properties of the parasite cell surface have grown in number and some declined among the three species: 'death' of genes seems to be a major force for differences between the parasite genomes. Some genes, however, are evolving rapidly, leading the team to suspect they include key genes involved in interacting with the human host - where the battle between parasite and patient is fought and where rapid response is important to both.
Remarkably, L. braziliensis, the most ancient Leishmania species sequenced, contains genes that could provide a working pathway for RNAi, an emerging mechanism for gene regulation. The genome sequences show that components for this pathway are absent from the other two Leishmania species. This pathway might serve as an experimental tool in understanding the role of the many genes whose function is unknown, by using experimentally induced RNAi to 'knock-down' gene activity prior to host infection.
"In addition to their function with respect to promoting diverse clinical outcomes," commented David Sacks, PhD, Head of the Intracellular Parasite Biology Section at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, USA, "the remarkably limited number of species-specific genes should lead to the more rapid identification of sequences involved in specialized aspects of Leishmania biology, such as the development of L. braziliensis in the hindgut of its sandfly vector, and the restricted reservoir host range seen with L. infantum infections in dogs."
Around 350 million people in 88 countries on four continents are at risk of Leishmaniasis and its incidence has risen sharply over the past ten years. It is transmitted by the bite of various species of sandfly: wild and domesticated animals - as well as humans - act as a reservoir for the disease.

As the Indian government advances its COVID-19 vaccination program, some companies are making plans to vaccinate their employees as soon as possible.
“We are in talks with vaccine developers and manufacturers to procure vaccines in bulk,” said Udbhav Ganjoo, head of HR-global operations for India and emerging Asia at Viatris, a health care firm that has a global center in Hyderabad. “Safety and wellness is the key right now, above all things.”
The Indian government has approved two vaccines for emergency use and started vaccinating its population in mid-January. So far, approximately 9 million doses have been administered in India, mainly to health care and frontline workers. Next in line to be vaccinated are elderly people and those with comorbidities.
But given its population of 1.3 billion people, India has a huge task ahead.
To complement the government’s efforts, industry groups have requested that private companies be allowed to vaccinate their workforce.
India has an advantage over some other countries as it is the largest producer of vaccines in the world. The Serum Institute of India, a drug manufacturer in Pune, has already made 100 million doses of Covishield, AstraZeneca/Oxford University’s COVID-19 vaccine. Covaxin, a vaccine that has government approval, is also being manufactured at a rapid pace.
Companies are now awaiting government rules on when these vaccines can be sold to them or to the public.
Among those eager to inoculate their staff are JSW Group, a conglomerate with businesses in steel and infrastructure; Bengaluru-based biopharmaceutical firm Biocon; mining company Vedanta; hotel chain Lemon Tree Hotels; and the Indian unit of tire and rubber company Bridgestone.
“We are waiting and watching as of now,” said Apurv Choubey, CHRO at Bridgestone India in Pune.
The company would like to vaccinate all of its 3,300 employees in India, plus their family members and the company’s indirect employees, Choubey said. “We may not make it mandatory for everyone.”
A First for Indian Companies
Typically, companies in India don’t hold vaccination drives for adults, so this would be a first for many of them. Companies would need to set up teams to not only organize the administration of the two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, but also to keep track of any side effects that the employees may develop.
“That monitoring is very important,” Ganjoo said.
His company plans to inoculate all 15,000 employees in India in the first phase, and in the second phase vaccinate employees’ family members.
Viatris’ factories have been working at full strength since last year, but only half of the corporate staff has been coming to the office, Ganjoo said. Working from home for nearly a year has taken a toll on employees, he said, especially those living in small homes. “People want to come to the office,” he said.
Ganjoo expects that the vaccine could be available for purchase by July. By then, new vaccines could also have come to the market.
Meanwhile, companies are doing preparatory work.
At Viatris, efforts are focused on educating employees in order to foster a pro-vaccine sentiment and allay any fears they may have. “As we draw closer [to vaccination], we will intensify our awareness programs,” Ganjoo said.
At Lemon Tree Hotels, a pan-Indian chain, HR is compiling all employee details, including everyone’s Aadhar unique identification details, their age and any pre-existing conditions they have.
This will come in handy in case the government requires that companies inoculate certain priority groups within the workforce before others, said Rajesh Kumar, Lemon Tree’s vice president of HR in Delhi. The company hopes to cover all its direct and indirect employees and at least two family members of each employee, which would add up to around 10,000 individuals, he said.
One of the vaccine manufacturers is already in touch with the company’s senior management about selling the vaccine when the government allows it.
“The company will bear the cost,” Kumar said.
[see SHRM members-only COVID-19 vaccination resources]
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), a national industry association, has suggested to the government that companies be allowed to use funds from their mandatory corporate social responsibility (CSR) corpus to inoculate their workforces. Indian law mandates that all companies above a certain net worth set aside 2 percent of their average net profit of three years for the CSR corpus.
The government is considering its proposals, according to a CII spokeswoman.

A new article has looked at one of the latest business-focussed smartphones to hit the market – the HTC Touch Pro2.
Recently unveiled as one of the most recent additions to the Orange line up of professional handsets, the device was tested by Frank Lewis of Cnet – who said one of the first things people will notice is its size.
However, he explained that although some may see it as bulky, the extra space allows for a roomier keyboard and a more impressive screen.
Mr Clark said the 480 x 800 pixel-powered, touch-enabled front panel was "a beauty to behold" and provided an "incredibly crisp and sharp" text and graphic display.
The HTC Touch Pro2 is equipped with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and GPS connectivity, as well as a 528 Mhz Qualcomm processor, 288 MB of RAM and 512 MB storage expandable via a microSD card.
Also onboard is the Straight Talk calling system which links to the phone‘s email software.

Let the rain fall down and break my knees
Let it wash away her vanity
'Cause I want to hear her suffer
I want her to scream.
Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams
Let it wash away my sanity
'Cause I wanna hear the thunder
I wannta scream.

I don’t know about you, but our family is still trying to make the transition to the long school days. And with that transition come the inevitable tears and BIG emotions.
Something that has helped my kids deal with these emotions is building a “Feeling-Words Vocabulary”*. When our kids can name their emotions, they can access the rational part of their brain and begin to manage those emotions. (This is the Name It to Tame It strategy taught in Brainstorm by Dr. Dan Siegel**).
The other day one of my kids got splashed with water and was soaked big-time (not thinking about what might happen if you’re standing right next to the pool…) Thus began an after-school meltdown.
Trying to show understanding of my child’s feelings, I asked, “You’re feeling hurt?” (This is a simple adaptation of the You-Feel formula taught in Positive Discipline for Teenagers***)
My child yelled, “No! I’m feeling annoyed!!”
Immediately after saying that, the meltdown was over!
I hadn’t even guessed the emotion correctly, but it prompted my child to recognize their feelings and overcome them. Now, this doesn’t always happen so magically, but developing a Feeling-Words Vocabulary is definitely helping my kids to better understand their emotions and how to manage them.
To help your child learn some of the most important feeling words, feel free to print out my “I feel…” Chart.
Your younger kids might enjoy playing Charades or a guessing game so they can practice how each emotion looks and feels. Throughout the day you might ask them to point to how they’re feeling. Soon it will become part of your everyday vocabulary and will be an effective parenting tool for those after-school meltdowns!

The UK government has set aside more than £3.5 million in funding to limit the impact offshore wind farms have on the country’s air defence.
The UK government announced that The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNEZ) and Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) have awarded £3.2 million in funding to minimise the impact of offshore wind farms on UK Air Defence.
A further £500,000 competition has been launched which will help companies find solutions to accurately assess the effectiveness of these solutions.
The £3.2m is to be split between two projects aiming to demonstrate technologies that can minimise the impact of offshore wind farms and their interference on defence radar.
The two winners are the Hampshire-based aerospace company, LiveLink Aerospace, which has been awarded up to £1.3 million in funding, and Trelleborg, an engineering firm based in Nottinghamshire, which secured up to £1.8 million in grant funding.
LiveLink Aerospace will look into the radar clutter caused by the rotating blades of wind turbines, something the government says, “Can degrade the performance of air defence radars and surveillance systems.”
While Trelleborg’s £1.8 million grant will go towards using “advanced materials in wind turbines to tackle radar interference.”
Finding security for energy and the nation
The government says that this process will support its ambitions to reach 50GW in offshore wind by 2030, while also assisting air defence and its ability to co-exist with the green energy source.
UK energy security secretary Grant Shapps said: “Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine has shown us how important it is to power more of Britain from Britain.
“Our offshore wind capability plays a huge role in delivering our energy security, with the world’s four largest offshore windfarms in UK waters.
“But with the war raging on, we need to make sure our energy security and our national security remain fully compatible.
“This funding will ensure our offshore wind works alongside our latest air defence technologies – boosting our defences through our military, and by delivering home-grown energy for our homes and businesses.”
Wing commander Kevin Walton, co-chair of the Ministry of Defence/Offshore Wind Industry Council Air Defence Mitigation Task Force said: “The MOD is playing an active role in the UK’s efforts to build a greener, net-zero future.
“Offshore wind will play a central part in meeting our nation’s renewable energy needs and ensuring energy security for the UK.
“Complementing existing RAF work to mitigate the impacts of large-scale offshore windfarms on our current radars and the previous phases of this competition, this 2nd stream of Phase 3 of the innovation competition will play an important part in helping us to find the right combination of future solutions that will enable the long-term co-existence of windfarms and the UK’s air surveillance radars.”
