Imagine a scientific technique that would alter the genes of mosquitos to render them unable to transmit malaria. Some day, you may not need to: Scientists have made notable progress in recent years in editing the genomes of organisms, substituting in variants of certain genes; these variants could then propagate throughout a population. While such changes could have benefits — such as limiting malaria transmission — it’s also possible to imagine unintended negative consequences. Kenneth Oye, an associate professor of political science and engineering systems who studies government regulation and directs MIT’s Program on Emerging Technologies, is lead author of an article in Science today making the case that the U.S. government, and international groups, need to adapt their procedures to enable more robust discussion and evaluation in this field. MIT News asked him to discuss the topic.
Q. What are “gene drives?”
A. Genes in sexually reproducing organisms typically have a 50 percent chance of being inherited. Some naturally occurring genes have evolved methods of significantly improving these odds: These selfish genes can increase in relative frequency in a population, even while reducing the likelihood that an organism will reproduce. These “gene drives” can spread through an entire population of sexually reproducing animals or plants. The genomes of almost every sexually reproducing species contain either an active gene drive or the broken remnants of gene drives.
Ten years ago, Austin Burt of Imperial College London suggested that gene drives might be purpose-built to alter natural populations by adding, deleting, or editing genes in target species, such as mosquitos. But practical problems — especially the difficulty of precisely editing genomes to create engineered drives — stymied realization of Burt’s vision. This is about to change. The recent development of a powerful genome-editing tool called CRISPR/Cas9, by a team at Harvard University, MIT, and the University of California at Berkeley, allows scientists to insert, replace, delete, or regulate genes in many different species.
The application of CRISPR/Cas9 is likely to enable development of purpose-built gene drives in the next few years. Potential gene-drive applications include reprogramming insects to limit malaria and other insect-borne disease; reversing pesticide and herbicide resistance; and controlling invasive species. Gene drives might even be developed to “undo,” in part, genetic alterations that produce unwanted side effects.
Q. What are some regulatory challenges in dealing with a powerful new technique like this?
A. Simply put, engineered gene drives do not fit comfortably within existing regulatory frames.
Animal applications of gene drives would fall under Food and Drug Administration [FDA] purview as “veterinary medicines.” Current FDA guidance defines genetically engineered DNA constructs intended to affect the structure and function of an animal as veterinary medicines and requires developers to demonstrate that such constructs are safe for the animal. It is not clear how this requirement can be reconciled with projected uses of drives including the local suppression of invasive species.
Or consider a hypothetical security case: In theory, gene drives could be developed to harm populations of commercial animals and plants. However, the development of such gene drives would not fall within the scope of oversight of U.S. policy on Dual Use Research of Concern, which calls for oversight of research with potential security concerns. The shipment of such drives would not be covered by current U.S. export-control regulations or Australia Group guidelines on standardization of national biosecurity export controls. All rely on lists of infectious bacteriological and viral agents to define their operational scope, not sexually reproducing plants and animals.
Finally, the potential environmental effects of gene drives are global. But the U.S. and Canada are not signatories to applicable instruments, including the Cartagena Protocol on biosafety [an international agreement]. And other mechanisms for managing environmental effects are not in place.
The prospective development of gene drives highlights the need for regulatory reassessment and reform at both domestic and international levels.
Q. What do you propose as a better way to address potential risks of this form of genetic engineering?
A. We favor early engagement with risks to provide time for research, regulatory reform, and discussion.
First, our initial take on risks suggests that drives have limited potential to harm humans and that risks to animals and plants will be specific to species and alterations. But this assessment is provisional. Our Science article recommends 10 actions that should be taken in advance of release. These include research to improve understandings of gene-drive properties and effects, measures to address identified risks, and hedges in case our initial assessments are wrong.
Second, security regulations should move beyond lists of infectious bacteriological and viral agents toward a functionally defined approach. The threat posed by select agents is serious and should remain a focus of policy. However, regulations and conventions constructed to address these threats do not provide a framework for addressing security implications of gene drives and other advanced biotechnologies.
Third, effective risk governance requires informal partnerships as well as official regulation. Our workshops have included synthetic biologists, evolutionary ecologists, risk analysts, and social scientists from MIT, Harvard, Boston University, Arizona State University, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, as well as nongovernmental organizations and biotechnology firms. Other informal, multidisciplinary partnerships cutting across organizations with diverse interests can play a constructive role.
Finally, the idea that discussion of benefits and risks should be tightly controlled is not the right model. The implications of development and use of gene drives extend far beyond the academy. We see our Science article as an open invitation to broader public discussion, not as the last word.

Ukraine leader Zelensky branded the ‘Antichrist’ in Russian TV debate
Russian TV hosts call Zelensky a ‘small demon’ and ‘the Antichrist’

Volodymyr Zelensky has been branded a “small demon” in a bizarre Russian TV debate over the Ukrainian president’s resistance to Vladimir Putin’s geopolitical ambitions in the region. One pundit called on the Russian Orthodox Church to officially name the Ukrainian leader to be the “Antichrist” during the heated discussions.
He told Russia1: “We need to be very specific as to what we emphasize and not be shy about it.
‘I believe that the Orthodox church should proclaim that Zelensky is officially the coming of the Antichrist.
“He is the official Antichrist.
“From a standpoint of Orthodoxy, this man is the classic Antichrist.”

Alexander Kamkin replied: “You flatter Zelensky by calling him an Antichrist.
“He is just a small demon, but no more than that.”
Ukraine stands ready to trigger Russian “military collapse” in the New Year if NATO commits to provide extra weapons and ammunition, according to the UK’s former defence chief.
Lord Dannatt told Sky News: ” We have to think through very carefully how much more military equipment we’re going to give to Ukraine.
Russia: Troops appear to revolt from base in Kazan
“Because we know that the Russians have mobilised some 300,000 additional soldiers and they will b be giving them some training probably in preparation for an offensive in the spring.
“But here’s the big question is the West and the United States, in particular, going to go on supplying sophisticated weapons and equipment and ammunition to Ukraine so that they can mount a major offensive in the spring?
“There is a view which I have some sympathy with, that if the Ukrainians are able to mount a really bold counter-offensive in the spring, it may be sufficiently effective that it could destroy the Russian army’s morale and bring about a collapse in the Russian military. “
He continued: “That might be wishful thinking, but it’s a big issue for the West.

“Do they go on supplying Ukraine with all the weaponry, equipment, and ammunition that they need?
“To be able to mount a big counter-offensive in the spring? I certainly hope so.”
The UK Ministry of Defence has already warned of critically low morale across Moscow’s military forces. Within Russia itself, the population has faced dire economic pressure after a flood of Western sanctions were imposed in response to President Putin’s invasion.
Independent analysis from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development has indicated Russia’s GDP is expected to drop by at least 3.4 percent by the end of 2022

MOSCOW, January 14. /TASS/. During a phone conversation Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry agreed that they will meet in Zurich, Switzerland, January 20 to discuss ways to settle the Syrian crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported.
"In line with an instruction from the Russian and US presidents, who discussed urgent international problems by phone yesterday, the heads of the foreign policy departments continued to consider ways to settle the Syrian crisis and the conflict in Ukraine," the ministry said.
"Lavrov and Kerry agreed to hold a personal meeting on January 20 in Zurich," it said.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova said at a briefing Thursday that a considerable part of the meeting will be dedicated to issues of Syrian settlement with account for the fact that Russia and the United States are actively involved in the process and are co-chairs of the "Vienna format".
"We are proceeding from the assumption that the topic will be discussed in the most active way," Zakharova said. "We will hope that the meeting will add constructiveness to the general process of Syrian settlement.".

Then you have to decide to either keep your setup or go with another, but in the mean time you can restore the nandroid back up and end up right where you are until you decide.

International Aero Engines and MTU Maintenance have signed an 11-year PW1100G-JM aftermarket agreement, committing themselves to further investment in the engine’s aftermarket network. The contract covers a large quantity of shop visits per year, in addition to the existing and substantial commitments to the program. This is a clear and strong signal to the industry that, despite the current unprecedented crisis it is facing, both companies still believe in the mid- and long-term success of the PW1100G-JM engine program – part of the GTF family and flying on the A320neo.
“As the industry continues to emerge from the pandemic, we continue to see the long runway of growth for the GTF engine program,” said Tom Pelland, president of IAE. “We want to ensure that we match that growth with a global presence and strong aftermarket capabilities that support GTF customers now, and in the future. This is why we, together with MTU, are committing and investing in the aftermarket network and we are excited about continuing to grow our collaboration.” Its GTF family of engines helps drive more efficient, sustainable air travel, enabling airlines to open new routes and fly more people farther, with less fuel – and much lower noise.
Michael Schreyögg, MTU’s Chief Program officer concurs: “The mid and long-term prospects of the aviation industry remain solid. We will believe in the recovery of the avia-tion industry, and as such are investing in its future today.” For its part, MTU Mainte-nance, third largest MRO provider worldwide, will be further investing in the program throughout its global network. This is in addition to the Geared Turbofan engine family specialized facility, EME Aero, a joint venture with Lufthansa Technik, that has been online since the end of 2019.


Intelligence deputy chief ousted amid alleged funds scandal
A high official in Costa Rica´s Department of Intelligence and Security (DIS) was temporarily dismissed Thursday on suspicion of swiping online banking information and funds from private and corporate accounts, the government said.
On Wednesday, police raided the office of DIS Deputy Chief Roberto Guillén, who cannot return to his post “while the investigation involves him,” said a statement from the Presidency Ministry.
The Chief Prosecutor´s Office suspects Guillén, a DIS employee for more than 10 years, of “illicit association, using false documents, falsification of documents and major fraud,” according to a press release from the state prosecutor´s Technical Consultancy and International Relations Office.
Besides DIS, police on Wednesday also raided the information department at the government´s Casa Presidencial in search of e-mails to and from Guillén that may be connected to the scam, which amounted to at least $350,000 in stolen bank funds, reported the daily La Nación.
Police officials said 14 people and private firms, including a well-known hotel in the central Pacific town of Quepos, were robbed after alleged fraudsters broke into their bank accounts, obtaining secret information form the Web site, Datum.net, according to La Nación.
The Web site, according to its “about us” section online, is “a private information service that enables the process of investigating and gathering data about people and companies.”
Police suspect Guillén holds a password to the site.
The prosecutor´s office said it is not targeting DIS itself, rather “one of its functionaries,” said an office press release.
Vice Minister of Security José Torres, acting director of DIS, announced yesterday he will open a separate internal investigation into Guillén´s activities.
The probe will look into “specifically who had access to the code (to enter the Datum.net files), if it was just Señor Guillén or not,” Torres said.
Guillén was released yesterday from police custody and must sign in every 15 days as the judicial investigation continues.
Tico Times reporter Gillian Gillers contributed.

The amount of people diagnosed with gonorrhea has reached record levels
There has been an increase in the number of sexually transmitted infections across Northern Ireland.
A new report has shown cases of gonorrhea, herpes and chlamydia have risen by up to 15%.
However rates of diseases such as syphilis and genital warts are down.
The amount of people diagnosed with gonorrhea has reached record levels, with 679 cases last year.
The ‘Sexually Transmitted Infection surveillance in Northern Ireland 2018’ report shows that there was a 1% overall increase in STIs diagnosed.
The report shows:
- 5,726 new STI diagnoses were made in 2017;
- New diagnoses of gonorrhea increased by 15%: 679 in 2017;
- New diagnoses of genital herpes simplex increased by 3%: 463 in 2017;
- New diagnoses of infectious syphilis decreased by 11%: 50 in 2017 compared with 56 in 2016;
- New diagnoses of genital warts (first episode) decreased by 10%: 1,600 in 2017 compared with 1,786 in 2016;
- New diagnoses of chlamydia increased by 2%: 1,684 diagnoses in 2017
Dr Claire Neill, Specialist Registrar with the PHA, said:
“By having unprotected sex, you could effectively be sleeping with everyone your partner’s ever slept with, putting yourself at risk of getting an STI. We are urging people to always use a condom, and to get tested if they have put themselves at risk".
The report shows that the highest rates of STIs occur in 16-34 year olds.
Dr Neill continues:
“It is also important to take steps to reduce the risk of harm to yourself and others if there’s a chance you have contracted an STI.
There are GUM clinics across Northern Ireland, make sure you attend one of these clinics to get checked out for free".

Saltmarsh History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
- Origins Available:
The origins of the Saltmarsh name lie with England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived in the township of Saltmarsh which was in the parish of Howden in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Saltmarsh is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. During the Middle Ages people were very conscious of the variations in their surroundings including the soil types. In this case the original bearers of the surname Saltmarsh were named due to their close proximity to a salt marsh.
Early Origins of the Saltmarsh family
The surname Saltmarsh was first found in Yorkshire where the first record of the name was William Saltmarsh, Latinized De Salso Marisco, witnessed a grant of Richard Strongbow in the 12th century. Sir Richard Saltmarsh was one of the knights of that shire 17. Edward II.
Saltmarsh is a township, in the parish and union of Howden, wapentake of Howdenshire, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. "The Hall is a handsome stone mansion, with a well-wooded lawn and pleasure-grounds, the seat of the Saltmarsh family."

Saltmarsh Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Saltmarsh were recorded, including Saltmarsh, Saltmarshe and others.
Early Notables of the Saltmarsh family (pre 1700)
Notables of this surname at this time include: John Saltmarsh (d. 1647), English mystical writer, of an old Yorkshire family, and a native of Yorkshire. Leaving the university, he became (about 1639) rector of Heslerton, Yorkshire. In 1646 Saltmarsh became an army chaplain, attached to the fortunes of Sir Thomas Fairfax.
"On Saturday, 4 Dec. 1647, rousing himself from what he deemed a trance, he left his abode at Caystreet, near Great Ilford, Essex, and...

Saltmarsh migration to the United States +
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Saltmarsh family emigrate to North America:
Saltmarsh Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
- Thomas Saltmarsh, who landed in New England in 1700
Saltmarsh Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
- Mr. Saltmarsh, who arrived in Mobile, Ala in 1822
Saltmarsh migration to Australia +
Emigration to Australia
followed the First Fleets
of convicts, tradespeople and early settlers. Early immigrants include:
Saltmarsh Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
- Mr. William Saltmarsh, British Labourer who was convicted in Bristol, England for 14 years, transported aboard the "Asia" on 20th July 1837, arriving in New South Wales, Australia
- Henry Saltmarsh, who arrived in Adelaide, Australia aboard the ship "Hooghly" in 1839
- John Saltmarsh, who arrived in Adelaide, Australia aboard the ship "Hooghly" in 1839
- Mr. James Saltmarsh, English convict who was convicted in Chelmsford, Essex, England for 7 years, transported aboard the "Bangalore" on 1st January 1850, arriving in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia
Saltmarsh migration to New Zealand +
Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include:
Saltmarsh Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
- Mr. Saltmarsh, Scottish settler travelling from Glasgow aboard the ship "Taupo" arriving in Port Chalmers, Dunedin, Otago, South Island, New Zealand on 2nd July 1875
Saltmarsh migration to West Indies +
The British first settled the British West Indies around 1604. They made many attempts but failed in some to establish settlements on the Islands including Saint Lucia and Grenada. By 1627 they had managed to establish settlements on St. Kitts (St. Christopher) and Barbados, but by 1641 the Spanish had moved in and destroyed some of these including those at Providence Island. The British continued to expand the settlements including setting the First Federation in the British West Indies by 1674; some of the islands include Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Island, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and Belize then known as British Honduras. By the 1960's many of the islands became independent after the West Indies Federation which existed from 1958 to 1962 failed due to internal political conflicts. After this a number of Eastern Caribbean islands formed a free association.

The Quixotic Quest to Tackle Global Cybercrime
FROM THE MEDIA: In mid-January, the United Nations was formally set to begin a process to develop a global treaty on cybercrime. Given the numerous headlines in 2021 about ransomware attacks on infrastructure, from health care systems in Ireland to fuel lines in the United States, one might assume this process is being driven by the United States and its Western allies. It isn’t. It was pushed by Russia and approved by vote in the U.N. General Assembly in 2019, with Western countries voting against the process. The meeting in January was delayed due to the omicron coronavirus variant, but political maneuvering around the delay reveals that the process continues to advance without a shared sense of cooperation. In late January, Russia submitted a resolution in the General Assembly to hold the meeting the following week in New York. This was met with resistance by a number of states; the Dominican Republic, with mostly European and Central American co-sponsors alongside Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States, then submitted an amendment proposing an entirely different plan. Russia’s preference lost out during the voting process. This was the second time in a year that Russia has tried to vote its preferences through for this agenda and lost. While Russia clearly sees itself as the leader of this initiative, it is being met with increasing resistance when it tries to impose its preferences.

Why is Cryptojacking a Major Concern in 2022 and Beyond?
FROM THE MEDIA: The cryptocurrency market has continued to achieve popularity over the years. What we have seen over a period of time is how hackers have come up with various fraud schemes to take advantage of digital currencies. One term that has been doing rounds as far as hacking in the cryptocurrency market is concerned is “Cryptojacking”. Cryptojacking is a form of illegal cryptocurrency mining, where servers, computers, mobile phones, and other common devices such as printers are hacked. No wonder Cryptojacking is a major concern. In this article, we will talk about why is Cryptojacking a major concern in 2022 and beyond. A point about Cryptojacking that is worth a mention is that it doesn’t ask for permission. Certain versions keep running long after you leave the initial site. Now, why is this a concern? The reason is quite evident – the users aren’t aware whether a site they visited has been using their computer to mine cryptocurrency. Even though the user might believe that the visible browser windows are closed, there is always a hidden one that stays open.

Lawmakers want the SEC to expand cyber regulations
FROM THE MEDIA: As the Securities and Exchange Commission rolls out a series of expanded cybersecurity proposals, a group of bipartisan senators are calling for updates to mandatory reporting requirements for public companies. A bipartisan group of senators are urging the Securities and Exchange Commission to expand cybersecurity incident reporting requirements for public companies amid a renewed effort to pass national data breach legislation. The lawmakers are calling on SEC Chairman Gary Gensler to propose regulations similar to those featured in the Cybersecurity Disclosure Act they sponsored last year, which requires firms to disclose to investors whether a cybersecurity expert is on their board of directors. The Feb. 8 letter was signed by Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) Angus King (I-Maine), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore).

Cops feel memes can help reduce cybercrimes
FROM THE MEDIA: Vadodara: ‘Chaahe kitni bhi aakarshak scheme hoy a anjan ladki ki friend request ho. Mein fasunga nahi’ (Be it some attractive scheme or friend request from an unknown girl, I won’t get trapped),’ says Pushpa, the rustic character played by Allu Arjun in the blockbuster movie. Pushpa may be portrayed as a criminal in the film but Vadodara police are riding high on the character’s popularity with an ambitious aim to prevent crimes in the city. The cops have created and posted a meme on Pushpa that spreads awareness about cybercrimes on its Instagram handle. “One of the aims of such campaigns is to reach out to maximum people and spread awareness to prevent crimes. Using popular characters in such memes ensures that our message reaches a wider audience,” claims Shamsher Singh, city police commissioner. If Pushpa is urging people to stay away from cyber stalkers, another popular character Bob Biswas is asking for bank account number and OTP over the phone. The meme is targeted towards people who often give their bank account details to anyone who claims to be from the bank. “The victims end up losing money and hence there has to be a constant effort to alert people about such possible frauds,” the police added. A meme on comedy film Hera Pheri wherein the villain ‘Kabira’ is asking for Aadhar card and PAN card details of a user is also getting popular on Instagram.

Cyber thieves steal $3.5 million in Quincy pension fund hack
FROM THE MEDIA: Cyber thieves hacked the city of Quincy’s employee pension fund and made off with $3.5 million in an email phishing scam, according to local reports. The hack reportedly happened a year ago but is just now coming to light. According to The Patriot Ledger, John Parsons, executive director of the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission, said the transaction was “the result of human error and a breakdown of security controls.” An investment manager for the Quincy Retirement Board reportedly got an email from a former employee’s board account, which had been hacked, asking for a $3.5 million wire transfer. The manager then followed the fraudulent email’s instructions, according to the Ledger’s report. The stolen money was meant for 3,000 city employees’ pensions — funds were slated to go to current workers as well as retirees and the surviving family members of deceased employees. Though the hack happened in February 2021, the board didn’t discover the transfer until months later, then reported it in October 2021. The commission is now investigating the board.

Brexit deal blow: Truss warned hackers now know 'everything' about UK trade negotiations

SWIFT off Russia sanctions list, state banks likely target -U.S., EU officials
FROM THE MEDIA: U.S. and European officials are finalizing an extensive package of sanctions if Russia invades Ukraine that targets major Russian banks, but does not include banning Russia from the SWIFT financial system, according to U.S. and European officials. The sanctions on the table also include export controls on components produced by Russia for the tech and weapons sectors, and sanctions against specific Russian oligarchs, according to three sources familiar with the discussions. One U.S. official said the Russian banks targeted with sanctions could include state-backed VTB and Sberbank, the largest financial institutions in Russia. Both institutions are already subject to sectoral sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department after Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region that limit their ability to raise capital in the United States, but the full blocking sanctions in sight now would have far more significant consequences, said one sanctions expert.

Taiwan: China’s Gray Zone Doctrine in Action
FROM THE MEDIA: The world's top manufacturer of lithography equipment, Dutch company Advanced Semiconductor Materials International (ASML), has warned that it believes a Chinese company may be selling chipmaking equipment that infringes its intellectual property rights. News of the possible Chinese imitation emerged in ASML's 2021 annual report [PDF] in a section on intellectual property protection: Early in 2021, we became aware of reports that a company associated with XTAL Inc, against which ASML had obtained a damage award for trade secret misappropriation in 2019 in the USA, was actively marketing products in China that could potentially infringe on ASML's IP rights. The annual report, dated this week, names the possibly infringing company as DongFang JingYuan Electron. The Chinese company is certainly in the chipmaking business and promotes itself as a source of offering electron beam inspection products that improve the yield of chipmaking processes, as well as critical dimension-scanning electron microscopes that improve quality during the same processes. ASML's annual report doesn't specify what IP it thinks DongFang JingYuan Electron might be abusing, but states Chinese authorities have been informed. China is widely suspected of using espionage – some of it state-sponsored – to secure information about technologies it feels are necessary for the nation's security and prosperity. FBI director Christopher Wray last week said the agency he leads is currently investigating over 2,000 attacks on US targets alone.

The Largest Group of CryptoPunks to Ever Come to Auction Will Be Offered at Sotheby’s. It Could Bring in $30 Million
FROM THE MEDIA: Sotheby’s announced it will hold a single-lot sale featuring 104 CryptoPunks with a “landmark” estimate of $20 million to $30 million—the highest asking price to date for an NFT (non-fungible token) or piece of digital art at auction. The auction will be conducted live from Sotheby’s New York saleroom on February 23. This past June, Sotheby’s sold CryptoPunk #7523 for a record $11.8 million. In May 2021, Christie’s sold nine CryptoPunks at an evening sale for just under $17 million ($16.96 million). Although the category only debuted last year, total NFT sales at Sotheby’s have already hit $100 million. The CryptoPunks were released in 2017 by Larva Labs, and are among the world’s most sought-after and expensive NFTs. The group in question was acquired together in a single blockchain transaction from an anonymous collector known as 0x650d. This stand-alone acquisition connects each of the 104 Punks with the same provenance—a wallet that currently holds more than 1 percent of all CryptoPunks, one of the largest Punk collections, according to a statement from Sotheby’s.

A new study shows that eating soy protein didn't cut LDL cholesterol levels in adults with mildly high cholesterol levels. The findings appear in the August edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The FDA allows foods containing at least 6.25 grams of soy protein to carry a health claim stating that consuming 25 grams of soy protein per day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease .
The new study, conducted in Australia, tested the impact on cholesterol from eating that much soy protein in 90 adults with borderline high cholesterol levels who weren't soy eaters.
How high was their cholesterol? On average, their total cholesterol was 217 and their LDL cholesterol was 139 when the study began. Ideally, total cholesterol should be under 200 and LDL under 130.
For six weeks, participants ate 24 grams of soy protein per day, split into three daily servings. They got their soy protein in drinks, custard, cookies, snack bars, and pasta supplied by the researchers.
For comparison, participants ate half as much soy protein for another six weeks, and then no soy protein for a final six-week period. They took blood tests before and after each six-week diet.
While on the higher-dose soy protein diet , participants had a 3% drop in their total cholesterol and a slight drop in their LDL cholesterol. And although their LDL cholesterol dipped slightly, that change wasn't statistically significant, meaning that it might have been due to chance.
The 3% drop in total cholesterol may have been because they were eating less saturated fat, note the researchers, who included graduate student Alicia Thorp of the University of South Australia.
Thorp's team also went one step further and checked whether people's ability to digest certain soy nutrients into a compound called equol made any difference. It didn't.
WebMD asked Alice Lichtenstein, DSc, who is the Stanley N. Gershoff Professor of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Boston, and Nancy Chapman, RD, MPH, executive director of the Soyfoods Association of North America, to review the study.
The study is "excellent" and in line with findings from her own lab and recent work by other researchers, Lichtenstein tells WebMD.
In a statement emailed to WebMD, Chapman says the study "confirms that soy foods lower total cholesterol even though the drop in LDL cholesterol wasn't significant. She points out that the participants' LDL levels were "nearly" normal when the study started, and that the study might not have picked up on small changes in LDL cholesterol.
Lichtenstein counters, "I don't think you'd find people to study that had extremely high cholesterol levels that were going to be treated just with soy, because it's not consistent with current guidelines," which involve cholesterol-lowering drugs , as well as dietary changes. Lichtenstein also says the 3% drop in total cholesterol wasn't enough to bring participants' total cholesterol down to the normal range.
Chapman says other research has linked soy consumption to cholesterol improvements.
Lichtenstein sees some benefit in soy foods. "If you use a soy burger or a soy frankfurter to displace a hamburger or frankfurter, you would likely see a drop in LDL cholesterol because you're decreasing saturated fat," says Lichtenstein. "From that perspective, using soy-containing foods to displace foods with animal fat is probably advantageous."
But Lichtenstein says no recent data in people with mildly high cholesterol levels show that soy protein or other soy nutrients called isoflavones go above and beyond that to independently reduce heart disease risk.
"I think whenever there is claim that a food is going to do something positive like lower cholesterol, we all become very enthusiastic and it usually gets embraced without too much hesitation," Lichtenstein says. "However, when data starts emerging that perhaps the original assessment was not accurate, the bar is much higher as far as what's necessary to establish lack of effect as opposed to an effect."

Written evidence from Anonymous (HCS0016)
The opinions expressed below are mine and are based on my experiences when I was POA for my friend until his death in January 2021. The information is taken from my notes, emails, correspondence and other documentation including some which may have been acquired by Subject Access Requests.
It relates to the process of DNACPR decisions and its documentation. I wish to draw your attention to the way this is being managed in some quarters and particularly that, patients and/or their lawfully appointed representatives are not being included in the decision making and, the existence of the documentation is not always being declared and, those who are supposed to regulate the process are not doing so.
Between 2016 and 2021, I held Power of Attorney for my friend who had a number of health conditions which could be treated but not cured. His health deteriorated over time and he was eventually immobile and unable to anticipate or express his needs and was entirely dependent on others. He spent time in hospital and lived in 3 nursing homes moving due to safety concerns about the care he was provided with including a life changing injury and on another occasion being taken to hospital in a coma.
My friend had given written instructions to the effect that his POA would make decisions about any DNACPR instructions (if he could not) and these had been made available to those who needed to know this. He wanted any DNACPR to be associated with his health at the time and did not want one on the basis of what I will call a 'blanket ' approach to his health. At that time he was still well enough to make that decision.
In September 2018 in his second nursing home I was told by his GP he had organ failure and had between days and weeks left to live. He was too ill to participate in the decision and so on his behalf at the request of and on the advice from the GP, I consented to a DNACPR on the basis that there was nothing which could be done for him. He started end of life care.
He recovered and the end of life care stopped but nothing was said by anyone way of explanation. It is a long story but I discovered that the diagnosis had been a mistake and actually he had an infection made worse by a delay in the provision of antibiotics. The nursing home had made a Safeguarding referral to the AST about it but not notified anyone else as far as I know.
When I took this up with the GP (we spoke in January 2019) I was told that the mistake had been made due to inadequate information from the nursing home staff who had called the GP out to examine my friend but failed to divulge information about the delay in medication.
That GP did not tell me then (in January 2019) that there had been a review of the DNACPR in November 2018 and it had been continued. I found out about this later by chance in a conversation with a nurse at the nursing home (when my friend was once again ill with a urine infection) and challenged the situation with his GP who was by then different but from the same practice.
I intervened and requested its removal pending discussions with my friend about his wishes. There was correspondence about it between me and the GP and I received an email from the matron of the nursing home confirming its existence. Also I met with my friend and the GP who indicated that he had tried to discuss the situation with my friend but the latter had been too unwell to participate in the procedure. I can appreciate this may have been the case but my point is that, at that stage the POA should have been again invited to participate and I was not.
I referred this matter to the GMC expecting them to investigate. Initially they told me to take it up with a solicitor. When I pushed the complaint later, they asked for details and I gave them as much as I could. Their reply was to ask me to provide the DNACPR documents and details about the circumstances when it was made - who was there for example. Of course, I can provide evidence that the review was undertaken without consultation but I can't provide all the details in respect of the November review as this is the essence of the complaint - my friend was excluded from the whole process and the documents never revealed - on that basis the GMC declined to take the matter further stating the following:-
"Based on the information provided, there is insufficient detail to indicate Dr(redacted by me) or Dr (redacted by me) acted in a way to raise potential fitness to practise concerns. This is because there is currently no evidence to suggest that Dr (redacted by me) was involved in the review of the DNACPR on 13 November, and there is very little information as to what Dr (redacted by me)’s role was, particularly in regard to the decision to extend the DNACP.
We have asked for further detail on this from you but unfortunately you couldn’t provide this. We note that you do not have any documentation relating to the DNACPR, or the decision to extend.
Our medically qualified colleague has advised that the initial DNACPR decision does not raise any concerns. However, there are potential concerns around the extension of the decision, and the lack of discussion with you or the patient, there is no information provided to indicate who was involved in the decision.
In the absence of this information (ideally a copy of the review decision document or relevant medical record to show whose decision this was) we don’t know who was involved and this does not therefore raise concerns about these doctors, specifically.
If in future you are able to obtain this information, and return to us with it, we would be able to review the matter. If Dr (redacted by me) or Dr (redacted by me), or any other doctor, was found to have reviewed and extended a DNACPR decision without discussion then we can look at the issue again then. It would be important to have details of the doctor(s)’ rationale for any decision also."
It seems to me than that the GMC are content with a situation where DNACPR decisions are being made by persons who should be consulting with patients and/or their representative (and are ignoring this) and, are refusing to investigate when these circumstances arise leaving the patient or their representative to do all the detective work if they are able to. There is no point running an investigation along the lines of expecting the complainant to provide all the evidence when clearly they may never be able to do so this as it was concealed from them. It should not be up to the patient to gather the evidence in these circumstances and the GMC should be able to assist in this respect. If this situation continues as it is there will be wider public interest implications involving the inappropriate management of DNACPR decisions and its documentation and investigation.
I know you can't look into this individual case and I am not asking you to but I would like to ask that there is a general review of the management of and regulation of the DNACPR process including but not limited any breach of the Human Rights Act for the sake of the wider public interest.

GRC Nominee, David Johnson Spent the Weekend in the Notorious Rikers Island Prison
By Siahyonkron Nyanseor
July 12, 2005
The Acting Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Liberian Community Association in Staten Island, Mr. Walters James Weah said the Bryant appointment letter to Mr. Johnson forced them to take immediate action against Mr. Johnson. “Based on the above letter and denial and acquisition by Mr. Johnson and his supported, we had no other choice but to go publicly and pursue legal redress,” Mr. Weah told me in an interview.
Mr. Weah and party subsequently sent an open letter to Chairman Bryant to
withdraw the nomination of Mr. Johnson on the Governance Reform Commission.
Find below excerpts of the letter:
“…As you may have heard by now, Mr. Johnson is a Liberian national who pride himself in scamming and stealing from innocent Liberians living at home and abroad, especially older Liberians who do not have the capacity to pursue him legally. Because of his successes in this kind of business, Mr. Johnson recently scammed the Staten Island Liberian Community out of more then $9000 which were intended to be used to ship relief goods to families in Liberia. Further investigation reveals that Mr. Johnson was fired from his employment because he engaged in similar behavior, victimizing other Liberians. The Detectives Division of the New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Richmond County District Attorney (DA) is currently handling this issue.
“…While your intentions to engage and encourage qualified, patriotic Liberians to go home and contribute to the development of Liberia are welcome, it is your administration's responsibility to ensure that corruption at all levels and criminals like Mr. Johnson have no place in Liberia. We must never endorse criminals by rewarding then positions in the government or any public entity. The people of Liberia are tired of corruption!
“…As we wait to see the end result of our protest and the current legal actions against Mr. Johnson which is pending in New York, it is my recommendation that in the future, you encourage your staff to perform proper background check of individuals seeking public office. The background check should include basic interviews with the community in which these individuals lived and worked.”
According to Mr. Daniel, Mr. Johnson’s outright denial and challenge – that they seek legal action, made matter worse. As a result, “we forwarded documents in our possession regarding his fraud activities to Liberian news outlets on Monday, July 4, 2005, including The Perspective,” says, Mr. Daniel. He stated further that, “although we are of the same ethnic background, I do not take pity on those whose intention is, to tarnish the already tarnished name of my country. So we did exactly what he told us to do.”
As The Perspective was conducting its investigation, we were informed that the issue was brought to the attention of the President of ULAA at the time, Mrs. Roberta Rashid. When Mrs. Rashid was contacted, she admitted being told verbally, but advised Mr. George Billy Curtis, the president of the Staten Island Liberian Community Association to reduce it in writing to her and copy the Chairman of the National Board, Mr. Anthony V. Kesselly in order to have the matter address. Mrs. Rashid added that, she was never contacted again; therefore, when she was leaving office, she could not pass it onto the incoming administration (Mr. Watson). She stated that several days ago, she initiated a conference call with Mr. Curtis and Mr. Kesselly, the current Chairman of the National Board to set the record straight (that her administration knew about the problem and did nothing about it). She said that Mr. Curtis admitted being advised by her to reduce his verbal complaint into writing but did not do it at the time because there was a pending ULAA national election.
When Mr. Curtis was contacted by The Perspective, to confirm or deny Mrs.
Rashid’s account of the story, and if he had since filed a written complaint
with the current ULAA administration, he said no, “they were aware of
On Sunday, July 10, 2005, The Perspective contacted Mr. Arthur Watson to obtain his side of the story, and to find out if he or any of the officials of ULAA had recommended Mr. Johnson to the GRC. According to Mr. Watson, he did not, and is not aware of any ULAA official recommending Mr. Johnson for the position at the GRC. He added, ULAA has been accused of supporting Mr. Johnson in the case with the Staten Island Liberian Community Association. He went on to say, “In fact when the issue between Mr. Johnson and the Staten Island Community Association became public, I contacted Mr. Johnson, he ensured me that as far as he was concern, he had done nothing wrong. ULAA also initiated similar call to the leadership of the Staten Island Liberian Community Association, who assured him that the matter was being handled.”
On Wednesday, July 6, 2005, ULAA issued a press release regarding the matter. In the press release, ULAA stated:
“…When news of Mr. Johnson’s nomination became public,
ULAA received several telephone calls from the press and individuals wanting
information on Mr. Johnson. We also received few calls from individual members
in the Liberian Community of Staten Island and elsewhere requesting ULAA to
stop the nomination of Mr. Johnson on the allegation that Mr. Johnson was
guilty of certain unethical activities in the Staten Island area. The National
President of ULAA, Mr. Arthur K. Watson, immediately placed a call to Mr.
George Curtis, President of the Staten Island Community Association (SILCA)
to ascertain information on the allegations. Mr. David Johnson was also contacted
and informed of the allegations that were being made against him and to inform
him that ULAA was concerned and that ULAA would pursue the allegations to
obtain more information. The ULAA President subsequently also spoke with Mr.
James Weah of SILCA and informed Mr. Weah that the present Administration
of ULAA was never aware of past allegations against Mr. Johnson and therefore
requested to Mr. Weah that SILCA submit to the ULAA administration any relevant
document in support of the allegations against Mr. Johnson. Mr. Weah and Mr.
Curtis both claimed that the past administration of ULAA was informed and
made aware of the allegations against Mr. Johnson. But neither this present
Administration nor the present Board Leadership of ULAA was aware of these
allegations until now.
“While the present ULAA Administration has a stated policy against any official of ULAA occupying his or her official position in ULAA while pursuing employment with the government of Liberia or actively participating in election politics, ULAA as an institution has to operate within the framework of the Laws of this land. And, as much as many of the officials of ULAA are troubled by the nomination of Mr. Johnson to serve on the GRC and also by the allegations now being made against the character of Mr. Johnson, ULAA cannot take the laws into our hands to pass summary judgment against Mr. Johnson without the benefit of a full and impartial investigation. ULAA has therefore chosen to thread cautiously because no matter how troubled we are by the allegations against Mr. Johnson, we are equally expected to respect the rights of Mr. Johnson.
“ULAA is very troubled by the inferences being made in the public that ULAA is slow to action or does not want to take the necessary actions against Mr. Johnson because Mr. Johnson may be a friend of the ULAA Administration. This assumption could not be further from the truth. ULAA therefore wants to make it very clear that we are totally opposed to any member or official of ULAA who may be guilty of any form of corruption and we totally disassociate the Union from all such individuals. ULAA is reviewing all allegations being made against Mr. Johnson and also reviewing Mr. Johnson’s explanations and positions on these allegations. When all of the evidences have been reviewed and if it is verified that Mr. David Johnson is guilty of these allegations against him, ULAA will not hesitate to take appropriate actions. But until then, ULAA will not pass any judgment in the matter.”
Pending $50,000.00 bill hearing, Mr. Johnson spent the weekend in the notorious Rikers Island Penitentiary. Rikers Island Penitentiary, according to Jennifer Wynn, the author of INSIDE RIKER'S: Stories From the World's Largest Penal Colony, is six miles from the Empire State Building; and is considered one of the largest, most complex and expensive penal institutions in the world, “yet most New Yorkers couldn't find it on a map. Like many prisons in America, Rikers performs an expert magic trick: it disappears people, keeping in those who want to get out and keeping out those who want to get in.”
Finally, what lesson have we gained from this issue? It is safe to say, when in “glass house”, don’t throw stones; in other words, “never take people for a ride”, especially, in these times when the transmitting of information globally is in a matter of seconds - via the Internet. Unlike yester years, there are many watchdog groups in the Diaspora and Liberia that are not going to sit by to have individuals whose ONLY intention is to seek employment in Liberia to “steal” the Liberian people’s resources (money included) for their personal use. Especially so, when the Bryant Administration cannot ensure adherence to the basic principles of good governance, accountability, and transparency.

Preparing for Graduation Photos
Choosing the Right Photo Session
At T.Sedore Photography we’re keen on helping reduce the stress of grads and families! We do this by offering several photo session options so you can choose the best fit for your situation.
In Studio Focus Sessions
These focus sessions are held in our centrally located studio in downtown Grande Prairie. We’ll capture you in your cap & gown or your formal wear. With focus sessions, you’ll leave with the same great photos but save on session fees.
Full Graduation Sessions
These sessions offer a more custom experience. We book these sessions on Graduation days but offer the option to schedule them for another day allowing you to enjoy the experience, take your time and stress less. We’ll capture you in your cap & gown or your formal wear. We encourage you to bring props that represent you, too. Sporting gear, hobby supplies and animals are popular choices.
Event Photography Sessions
These sessions are great for large families and those who are going all out to celebrate their graduation day. Like a wedding, you’ll want to enjoy the day while connecting with your guests, not spend hours behind the camera making sure all your extended family members have posed for a photo with the graduate. Let us take care of documenting the big day so you can enjoy the festivities.
Customize Your Graduation Photo Experience
There’s nothing cookie cutter about your graduation photo experience with T.Sedore Photography. We’re ready to build a custom package perfectly suited to your individual needs and desires. Give us a call to book your free consultation 780-978-7875.
Not ready to invest in the full event photography experience but want to capture professional photos on the day of your event? Ask us about our on-site focus sessions. We’ll be onsite on your graduation day offering 20 minute focus sessions outside the venue.
Deciding on Hair and Makeup
Hair and makeup can make a big difference in how you look in your graduation photos. Consider choosing a natural, polished look that enhances your features.
If you're not confident doing your own hair and makeup, consider hiring a professional or getting help from a friend who has experience in this area.
Picking a Location and Time of Day
The right location and time of day can make a big difference in your photos. Consider the aesthetic you want to achieve and choose a location that reflects that.
A park or historic building can provide beautiful backdrops. Additionally, be mindful of the time of day when you'll be taking photos. Sunrise and sunset provide beautiful lighting, while midday sun can be harsh.
Working with a professional photographer will support you to bring your creative vision to life without sacrificing quality.
Communicating with Your Photographer
Before your photo shoot, we’ll be sure to communicate with you about your preferences and expectations. It’s helpful to share any inspiration photos you have!
We'll ask for your preferences on locations, outfits, and poses. This will help ensure that we’re both on the same page and that the shoot goes smoothly.
How to Pose for Photos
If you're not used to being in front of a camera, posing for graduation photos can feel awkward. A good rule of thumb is to keep your shoulders back and down, stand up straight, and keep your chin slightly lifted.
Remember to relax and have fun with it. Your photographer will also provide guidance and direction to help you look your best.
