With the advent of Web 3.0, there is currently a lot of interest in moving the internet to blockchain. Web 3.0 not only promises to speed up our Internet speeds; nor does it simply give us more storage space to use. On the contrary, there is a whole world of possibilities in our daily use of applications that could be opened up by widespread adoption of technology. The metaverse, largely derived from the Web 3.0 phenomenon, is an example of this. The Metaverse is considered a bridge between social media and Web 3.0. Moreover, decentralized streaming on Web 3.0 will allow users and musicians themselves to get the most out of using the platforms. While gala games (GALA USD) is mostly out of the metaverse camp, it is now also blazing trails in the music streaming industry. As a result, the GALA crypto is soaring today.
Gala Games has quickly made a name for itself among metaverse gamers. The project has not just one metaverse experience but several. The games span a number of aesthetics and environments. those like Heritage, city star and Mirandus all include aspects of the metaverse within them. In addition to completing in-game quests and tasks, players can also purchase digital real estate and other non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which add to their experience. Recently, Mirandus saw a virtual real estate sale worth $1.6 million, a record transaction at the time.
GALA Crypto Booms on Music Streaming Plans
The GALA crypto has seen great success thanks to the project’s push into the metaverse. The token is the fiftieth largest in the world, with a market capitalization of $2.3 billion. However, the developers are not yet resting on their laurels. After taking the metaverse by storm, Gala is now looking to revolutionize music streaming with a new service.
According to a company press release, Gala will launch a network of decentralized nodes for its inbound music streaming app. The network “will improve rewards for artists, creatives and allow fans to share their success.” Indeed, it will better reward artists for hosting their music on the platform. But moreover, it will allow the users themselves to earn passive income by simply listening to their favorite music.
The push comes at an interesting time for the music industry and the streaming business in particular. Above by Spotify (NYSE:PLACE) woes with artists fleeing the platform, the world’s most used music streaming service is also being criticized for underpaid musicians. As well as promising to better reward musicians, Gala hopes to lure Spotify expats through the issuance of exclusive musical NFTs.
The announcement of the service comes with a slew of musical partners. These partners include some big industry players like Snoop Dogg, Kings of Leon, HER, Steve Aoki and more. While Gala hasn’t announced a specific launch date, it promises the service “later this year.” While Gala’s next Galaverse event will take place in June, investors might expect to hear more details then.
Until then, the GALA token is seeing big gains following the announcement. The crypto is up 15% this morning, trading at 33 cents apiece. The trading volume also tends to increase by more than 80% as more and more investors turn to the token.

Sister, C., Wolch, J., & Wilson, J. (2010). Got Green? Addressing Environmental Justice in Park Provision. GeoJournal, 75(3), 229-248.
We present a pragmatic approach to assist planners in addressing racial inequities in park access. Utilizing the Los Angeles metropolitan region as an example, we used Thiessen polygons to delineate a service area for each park, and described potential park congestion or ‘pressure’ in each park service area. Results show that Latinos, African-Americans, and low-income groups in general were likely to live close to parks with higher potential park congestion. On the other hand, predominantly White, high-income areas were typically located close to parks with lower potential park congestion levels. The park service area analysis presented here facilitates the identification of areas with greater park need and provides a pragmatic way to redress existing disparities in park access. Built into a set of web-based decision support tools, the approach fosters greater community participation and empowers local stakeholders in the process of park provision.

Toad, My Eastern American Toad
Playing Frisbee in the trailerhood
there's an Eastern American toad!
Bye bye little blue dragonflies
my toad needs energy to climb the trees
and climb to the very tip top of the couch
and jump off like a superhero toad
climb to the very top of the tree, my Toad
catch the flying Frisbee
and catch another toad
why don't you jump on our heads, my toad?
Winter is coming, we're running out of food
dig a hole under the treetrunk
and hibernate and dream
Oh, spring is here, my toad
Oh, which toad are you, my Toad?
You don't look like my toad
Oh, but I love you too
I love you all
my sweet Eastern American Toads.
Hide in my pocket, no one will see you
float in the sink and play peek-a-boo
just don't hide under the couch
a cute toad like you needs to stick around
Oh, my sweet toad what are you thinking about?
Climbing to the top of the world, my Toad?
And jumping off?
I'll catch you in my pocket
my sweet Eastern American Toad.
Oh, I love the look on your face
and I love holding you in my hand like a toad;
an Eastern American Toad.

The U.S. e-commerce giant Amazon.com, Inc. sees a “huge potential in the Indian economy.” The company plans to invest up to $3 billion to expand its operations in the country. As part its long-term plans, the online retailer has opened its largest fulfillment center in Sonipat near the Indian capital city, New Delhi. The fulfillment center has a storage capacity of over 800,000 cubic feet. It will support thousands of small and medium businesses (SMEs) in India, where the digital economy is flourishing.
Last month, at a summit in Washington, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said that Amazon performance is “surpassing even our most ambitious planned milestones” in India. The company wants more small businesses in India to use its platform to sell. The e-commerce giant is investing money to encourage more people to online business.
New Fulfillment Center
The new fulfillment center will allow the online retailer to offer its Fulfillment by Amazon service to several thousand more small and medium businesses in the Delhi NCR region and the state of Haryana. The company plans to open five more new fulfillment centers in India. The combined storage capacity available to sellers on Amazon.in will increase to 7.5 million cubic feet by the end of this year, Amazon said in a statement.
“We are glad to announce Amazon’s largest Fulfillment Center in India at Sonipat. It will enable thousands of small & medium businesses to save money by replacing their upfront capital expense with low variable cost and pay only for the storage space they use and the orders that we fulfill,” said Akhil Saxena, vice president of India Customer Fulfilment.
“Our Fulfilment Centers play a significant role in the development of an inclusive e-commerce economy with benefits accruing across the ecosystem. It also enables many more customers in the region to shop on Amazon.in and opt for Cash on Delivery, Guaranteed Next-Day, Same Day, Release Day, Morning delivery and Sunday delivery,” Saxena added.
According to Morgan Stanley Research, the Indian e-commerce market is estimated to be worth $119 billion by 2020.
In 2014, the online retailer announced plans to invest $2 billion in India. Last month, CEO Jeff Bezos announced that the company will invest additional $3 billion in the country, bringing the company’s total investment to $5 billion. The e-commerce company employees more than 40,000 people in India.
The company also sees a space for Amazon Web Services in India. In addition to opening a Web Services Cloud Region this year, the company is also planning to build a software engineering and development center in Hyderabad.
In a letter to shareholders in April, Bezos said that Amazon.com, Inc. is working to promote e-commerce in India. He noted that the company built tools that empower entrepreneurs in 172 countries to reach customers in 189 countries last year.
Last year, the company launched a program called Amazon Chai Cart in India, deploying three-wheeled mobile carts to visit navigate in a city’s business districts, serve tea, water and lemon juice to small business owners and teach them about selling online.
In February, the online retailer launched Amazon Tatkal, which enables small businesses to get online in less than 60 minutes. This services provides a suite of launch services including registration, imaging and cataloging services, as well as basic seller training mechanisms. It is now being offered in 25 Indian cities.
Amazon.com, Inc. is also focusing on expanding its presence in Europe. Recently, the company announced plans to create 500 new jobs in Dublin, Ireland, over the next two years. This announcement is part of the company’s plans to create several thousand more new jobs in Europe in 2016.

Most people fortunate enough to reach their ninth decade of life are ready to slow down. Most people aren’t Ted Comet.
For more than 70 years, Ted has served the Jewish community, working first at the Council of Jewish Federations, and later at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). And because it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, he now volunteers with UJA.
Earlier this week, Ted met with young UJA professionals to share the experiences of a life well-lived. Among his notable professional accomplishments, Ted started the Celebrate Israel Parade and organized the first large-scale public demonstration of solidarity for Soviet Jewry.
But before he became a professional in the Jewish world, Ted spent two years in France as a student volunteer with a JDC program to rehabilitate war orphans. It was there, in 1946, that he met a young Elie Wiesel, who had been placed in a home for orphaned survivors in Versailles. And echoing my message from last week, it was Ted’s experience volunteering with survivors that inspired him to work full-time in the Jewish world.
It also taught him the power of resilience.
Resilience, as defined by Ted, is not just getting up when you’re knocked down but actually reaching higher heights, by transmuting the trauma into creative energy. By way of example, he described Elie and his three friends from the orphanage. One went on to become a professor of astrophysics at the Sorbonne; another became one of the world’s greatest experts on the Provence language; the third founded a modern yeshiva; and Elie, well, became Elie Wiesel.
Another powerful example of resilience came later, in the 1980s, during Operation Moses. Ted recalled meeting a frail, malnourished young Ethiopian boy who had been airlifted to Israel. That child of illiterate parents grew up to be a paratrooper, a college graduate, and then a lawyer.
And the most personal story belonged to Ted’s late wife, Shoshana, also a survivor, who transmuted her trauma into art, weaving beautiful tapestries and helping others as a psychotherapist.
Resilience is an especially poignant and appropriate theme this week. We share the grief of the world, condemning the terror in Belgium and praying for the victims and their families.
And — on the complete opposite end of the emotional spectrum — this week, we celebrate the secret airlift of 17 Jews from Yemen to Israel, joining two more who arrived last week. These 19 Jews — whose rescue was made possible by the Jewish Agency, one of our largest beneficiaries — are living proof of the resilience of the Jewish people. They also reaffirm our abiding commitment that no Jew should ever feel alone.
Finally, at the end of his talk, Ted — 91 years young — shared his personal fountain of youth:
“Never think of yourself as a finished product, but always a work in progress.”
Ted, we’ll do our best.

Sec-17 jeweller brothers first planned theft drama
Vinod Verma, 42, co-owner of Forever Diamonds jewellery showroom in Sector 17, initially planned to concoct a theft story, but moved to the idea of staging a robbery, finding it more manageable.punjab Updated: May 12, 2016 21:02 IST
Vinod Verma, 42, co-owner of Forever Diamonds jewellery showroom in Sector 17, initially planned to concoct a theft story, but moved to the idea of staging a robbery, finding it more manageable.
The police said Vinod discussed the robbery plan with his brother Rajneesh Verma a month ago with the motive of claiming insurance amount of Rs 10 crore as the family was under debt of over Rs 20 crore and had received notice of eviction for the showroom. They even concocted stories of theft of cash and jewellery worth lakhs on various instances before May 1 to trick the staff.
According to police Vinod, who got hospitalised in a private hospital in Panchkula right after being booked for cheating, forgery and destruction of evidence, was persistently counselled by cops to surrender as they had evidence against him in the form of his friend Sekhar’s disclosure.
Vinod got hospitalised on Saturday, immediately after realising that the police had learnt of the fake robbery, knowing that the courts would be closed over the weekend and he would apply for and secure bail on Monday.
Rs 1-CR JEWELLERY RECOVERED
DSP (central) Satish Kumar said they recovered jewellery worth Rs 1 crore from Vinod’s residence in Sector 8, Panchkula, on Monday night.
NASHIK MAN UNDER LENS
The police claimed that Vinod had revealed that his relative from Nashik helped him arrange two men and a woman who played robbers on May 1. Vinod’s call details had confirmed that he spent days in Nashik. The relative has been summoned.
VINOD IN REMAND
A day after his arrest, Vinod was sent to seven-day police custody.


Mikael Kingsbury seemingly can’t be stopped. The 20-year old won his first World Cup of the season here today and kept a firm grip on the yellow bib as the FIS points leader for men’s moguls,
It was the 17th consecutive medal for Kingsbury, who scored a personal-best 27.05 on the challenging course. Americans Parick Deneen and Dylan Walczyk took the silver and bronze with respective scores of 25.71 and 23.57.
“I’m super stoked, it’s awesome,” said Kingsbury with a huge grin.
He qualified first for the super finals, which meant he got to ski last in the six-man round, “I like to go last because I can see everybody before me and I know what I have to do. I like being in the role of being the guy to beat, and today I was there. Because I was watching and there were pretty high scores, I knew I had to do a pretty good run and I think I did it perfect with no mistakes.
“It shows I’m working in the right direction. For sure there are still a lot of things to improve, but for today I managed well mentally.”
The win was extra sweet for Kingsbury, as the event was one of five targeted competitions where a trip to the podium can help earn Canadian athletes eligibility for early nomination to the Olympic team for 2014.
“It’s my first Olympic qualification event and I started with a win. Every time there’s going to be a qualification World Cup I’m going to do my best to qualify and hopefully I’ll get a ticket to the Games after this season,” said Kingsbury.
Despite the victory for Kingsbury, it was a bittersweet day for Canada on the challenging course, as none of the other four Canadians who made it super finals managed to make it into the medals.
“I need to adjust a few things for next week in Calgary,” said the Rosemère, Que. native.
For Montreal’s Pascal-Olivier Gagné his sixth place finish at 14.41 was a confidence booster. It was Gagné’s first time in the super finals and although he lost control and had to pull out of the course before the second air, he was thrilled with his accomplishment.
“I was feeling super good to make it to super finals. There were 66 guys in the competition so to make it was awesome. I knew I had nothing to lose but I pushed a little too much and caught an edge. Anyway, it just means so much to my confidence to be in the top six. Coming into Calgary I know I can attack and perform there,” said Gagné.
Marc-Antoine Gagnon from Terrebonne, Que. was seventh in the finals round. Cedric Rochon of St. Sauveur finished just outside the finals in 13th. Quebec City’s Phil Marquis fell and did not score.
In women’s action, Canadian sisters Chloé and Justine Dufour-Lapointe of Montreal both struggled after qualifying for super finals. Chloé landed just off the podium, in fourth position, with a score of 16.63 and Justine was sixth with no score.
Olympic Champion Hannah Kearney of the US was golden on home turf after an injury sidelined her from the first two events of the season. She scored 23.53 to lead the women’s field. Nicola Sudova of the Czech Republic was second at 22.36 and Britney Cox of Australia won the bronze with a score of 21.62.
Chloé Dufour-Lapointe explained, “My run was going well when I got a bit backseat in the middle section, so I stopped to get back into control. It’s part of the game, and it was good warmup for our home event next week in Calgary.”
Her little sister, Justine, who was on the podium at the first two events of the season, was also sanguine about her result, “For the first five minutes I was a bit sad, I wanted to do much better here. But now I know I just have to fix the problem and not let it happen again.”
So, what was the problem for the 18-year-old? “I think I just lost some momentum between the finals and the super finals and maybe it cost me. Next time I’ll talk to my coaches and then they’ll help put me back on focus.”
Both Dufour-Lapointes said they are very excited to compete in front on a hometown crowd in Calgary next week.
Maxime Dufour-Lapointe was 8th in finals and Quebec City’s Audrey Robichaud was 10th. Andi Naude of Penticton, B.C. and Christel Hamel of St. Sauveur were 14th and 18th, respectively, in the qualifications round.
World Cup action continues in Lake Placid with back-to-back aerial events tomorrow and Saturday. Then the mogul team moves to Calgary for 2013 Freestyle Ski Moguls Grand Prix Presented by Volvo on January 26 at Winsport’s Canada Olympic Park. The event is free to the public. More information, including media accreditation information, is available at: http://freestyleski.com/wp/worldcup/canada-olympic-park/

WASHINGTON, March 11 (UPI) -- Americans prefer the United States does not take "a firm stand" on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a poll, released Tuesday, suggests.
Only 29 percent of respondents favor a "firm stand" against Russian actions, with 56 percent saying the United States "should not get too involved" in the issue, the Pew Research Center poll indicated.
A poll last year regarding possible U.S. intervention in Syria yielded similar results, the Washington Post noted Tuesday.
Opposition to involvement in Ukraine in Tuesday's poll crossed party lines, with more than 50 percent of Democratic, Republican and independent respondents expressing opposition to an active role in the Ukraine conflict.
The poll was conducted March 6-9 of 1,003 adults across the country, and has a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points.

On this day in 2001, the self-crowned “King of New York” released his fifth studio LP, Stillmatic. During Nas’s musical absence the power in New York had shifted and Jay-Z had stepped up and eclipsed Nas as the best MC in New York. The title itself shows that Nas had a chip on his shoulder and used this album to show the world who was STILL the best rapper alive out of the five boroughs.
Nas and Jay-Z were in the midst of one of the biggest feuds in rap. With this being the theme of the time, the lyrics of this album carried a malicious flavor. This new side to Nas’ sound is most prominent on the track Ether that is one of the most straightforward diss tracks in rap. The disrespect that was put on on this record makes the Drake/Meek Mill conflict look like a childhood dispute. Throughout the album Nas continues to showcase his no-holds-barred style of lyricism, dropping names of those he feels have disrespected him left and right and setting records straight about his spot in Hip Hop. With every bar, you can feel Nas attacking the game and making sure his place is felt by everyone listening. This album is also a lot less openly righteous than his previous work. Nas is a righteous individual so there will always be undertones of positivity in his work, but on this album, the focus was on the cold and darker side to Hip Hop and New York City in general.
Released on Columbia Records, the album debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 342,600 albums in its first week. Within a month, the album claimed the #5 spot and was certified platinum on January 16, 2002. By July 2008, the album had sold 2,026,000 copies. This “comeback” album received majority positive reviews from critics. Nas was praised by critics from Rolling Stone, AllMusic and The Source, who gave this album the coveted 5 Mics.

It has been only a few days since Facebook’s developer conference, F8 2018, has just got over and reports of new features in its various apps, whether Facebook or acquired ones like Instagram or WhatsApp are coming up.
It has been reported that a chat filter and sticker album might be coming to WhatsApp. While the development team has just started working on a sticker album, a chat filter will come to the WhatsApp Business app for Android.
According to a WABetaInfo, the chat filter will only come on WhatsApp Business, as of now. Here, the user would be able to quickly search messages using the filters. The user has to tap on ‘Search’ bar which will show a filter icon. On pressing the filter icon, the options will appear, namely, unread chats, groups and broadcast lists.
There are no reports about this being featured in the standard app.
This would be helpful for businesses so that they do not miss out on potential customers. It is quite similar to Instagram which has also made changes keeping the business aspect in mind.
Instagram introduced Action Buttons where businesses would be able to keep in touch with potential customers by bringing their chats directly into the main inbox. It has also introduced various other features like “order”, “book” for travel bookings, setting an appointment or placing an order.

More detailed Explanation's for anyone interested in the general design of, outwardly pointing, CHDK or SDM Camera Array's.
This type of, outwardly pointing, multi-camera rig is used for capturing panoramas, the main design goal is to "MINIMIZE" Parallax stitching errors, So a design requirement is locate the cameras close together as possible.
The FourSee isn't "outwardly pointing" -- the four cameras point at a screen upon which a large-format lens projects an image. Thus, all four cameras sample the same view. The control makes two of them capture at 240FPS a half frame out of sync to provide a 480FPS base, and the other two sample 24FPS and stills with longer exposures to enhance the dynamic range up to 16-20EV. From the resulting Time Domain Continuous Imaging (TDCI) data, one can computationally render stills or video frame representing any time intervals.
We have even implemented TDCI capture inside a single PowerShot using CHDK to grab and encode the live view feed: http://aggregate.org/DIT/ei2017CHDK.pdf


There's a new celeb baby on the scene who is crushing hearts across social media, one dimple at a time. Truly, brand new photos of Kevin and Eniko Hart's baby girl, Kaori Mai Hart, shared one month after she was born could not be more precious.
"Happy 1 month sleeping beauty," Eniko Hart captioned the sweet photos of her daughter shared on Instagram Tuesday. The couple welcomed their daughter Kaori on Sept. 29, according to TODAY, and she is the newest addition to the Hart clan, which includes the couple's 2-year-old son Kenzo as well as the comedian's 15-year-old daughter Heaven and 12-year-old son Hendrix from a previous marriage.
The first precious photo of Kaori — or "Ori" as she is affectionately called by her family — is a close-up of the little girl, wrapped in a soft pink blanket while wearing a petal pink headband around her head of silky, black hair. The second image shows Kaori in a vintage-type bucket wrapped in a sandy-brown textured blanket. And the final image is a close-up of the little girl's juicy, baby feet. Basically, she is the perfect café au lait blend of her mom and dad.
The 41-year-old proud dad also shared an update about life with Kaori one month after her arrival. "Daddy’s newest little girl....she already has me wrapped around her damn finger," the actor captioned a photo of his daughter on Instagram looking at him in a baby seat. "I didn’t even last a month."
Roughly a week after Kaori was born, the proud new mom shared the first photo of her daughter with the world, confirming her arrival as well. "When your heart literally lives outside of your body all over again," she captioned the precious photo. "Ori my girl you are everything I could’ve ever imagined plus more."
The new parents certainly aren't the only ones who are obsessed with Kaori, of course. On Oct. 15, Eniko posted a photo of her mother bonding and laughing as she held the newborn.
Earlier this month, the 36-year-old new mom shared on Instagram that she is "slowly but surely getting back to my old self" and little Kaori is "happy and healthy." What's more, Kaori also already has her own Instagram page — run by mom, of course — with a whopping 20,000 followers. So it seems like a sure bet that there will be even more sweet photos of little Ori gracing our IG feeds soon enough.

Trigger warning: mention of child abuse
Behind the gates of Pakistan’s most affluent neighbourhoods, an estimated 8.5 to 12 million children work as servants. Some of them are treated with kindness like an unpayable favour; second-hand clothes, eating from the same plates and sleeping in the same house. Others are not so ‘blessed’, leaving their employer’s sprawling mansions to rest their bones on cockroach infested mattresses.
Parents, often unable to afford food, send their children to work; ‘no parent wants their young child to go to work…they’re desperate, [they say] ‘I am being thrown out of my house, I haven’t even got 5,000 rupees (£25), take my child and get her some work’. Employers prefer child workers; malleable, easily intimidated and easily abused.
On May 31st 2020 in Rawalpindi, Zohra Shah was cleaning a birdcage and allegedly freed two birds belonging to her employers. Zohra was beaten brutally, resulting in injuries on her ribcage and hands. Zohra also had bruises on her inner thighs, suggesting brute force and sexual abuse. She was just eight years old.
Zohra was taken to the hospital and supported by mechanical ventilation, dying early morning on July 1st, 2020. Upon the arrest of her employers, police seized their phones and found disturbing footage of Zohra being beaten and locked in a bird cage as a punishment, on different occasions. It is believed this material was used to derive some sadomasochistic pleasure.
Her parents woke to a call at 4am, and were told that their daughter, entrusted to her aunt and uncle, had been killed. They had promised she would be educated in the big city, but instead they trafficked her to abusers. Under Pakistani Law, the victim’s family have the right to forgive, and therefore legally absolve, the culprit. In efforts to encourage this, the culprits offered blood money to Zohra’s family (Rs/- 80,000) but they refused. In an unexpected addition, the Amir Khan Foundation pledged to fund her five other siblings’ education and outsource a lawyer, Taimur Malik, to fight Zohra’s case in Pakistani court.
Data by the Child Rights Movement, an alliance of over 25 NGOs shows that from 2010, there were 60 murders of domestic child workers and countless cases of abuse. Child domestic work forms part of an informal economy existing outside labour laws, enabling exploitation. Children beg in the streets for Rs-/10, some sell balloon animals and flower bracelets. Others are forced into underground work. The Pakistani Minister for Human Rights, Shireen Mazari, tweeted on June 3rd 2020 that the ministry had proposed an amendment to existing child labour laws to classify domestic work as a “hazardous occupation”. These laws offer little reassurance, and there is a gulf between federal and provincial law enforcement. The Punjab Domestic Workers Act which is theoretically in place for Rawalpindi, is a non-operational ghost act – because there is no governing body.
Zohra was eight. The age of jumping in puddles just to giggle at the splash, running after the ice cream van and never-ending wild imaginations. Instead, she was cooking, cleaning and fighting off a strange man. Maybe she could feel the pain of being a prisoner, and her end was a strange metaphor for her little lived, caged life.
Zohra is not the first domestic child worker to die, and despite the outpouring of love and support on social media, she won’t be the last. The normalisation of child work is supported by a culture of apathy masked as helplessness; they aren’t going to get educated anyway, so we’re doing them a favour by employing them. Stricter child protection laws serve little deterrence in a country lacking a competent and robust governance system, which rarely enforces the meaningless penance for taking a child’s life.
Pakistan is in dire need of social reform; championing standardised education for all children to produce an educated and skilled future workforce. But for now, a #JusticeForZohra hashtag and social media fanfare, before phones are tucked away and choti is asked to make another cup of chai.

British fantasy television series A Discovery of Witches is based on the All Souls trilogy by author Deborah Harkness, published in 2011. The series is produced by Bad Wolf and Sky Productions and it features Teresa Palmer, Matthew Goode, Edward Bluemel, Louise Brealey, Malin Buska, Aiysha Hart, Owen Teale, Alex Kingston and Valarie Pettiford. The first season with eight episodes was released in September 2018 while the second series with a total of ten episodes was released in January 2021 on Sky One.
A Discovery of Witches season 2 has been shot in a range of locations such as Venice, Bristol, Oxford and Cardiff. According to RadioTimes, many scenes are shot on the grounds of a manor house named Plas Machen, which is located near Newport in South Wales. The production designer James North took on the task of bringing the 1590s’ England, where the sort of scenery Matthew and Diana encounter, to life.
HITC reported that the production took the cast members to Italy, England and Wales respectively. According to Backstage, the crew was also filming at Gloucester Cathedral, which is formally known as the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Invisible Trinity. A couple of scenes were shot in The City of Dreaming Spires. The production included New College, Brown’s Café, part of the real Bodleian Library and The White Horse pub.
The outlet reported that several scenes were filmed in Bristol which featured The Rummer bar-restaurant at All Saints Lane which was shown in the first episode. However, a few scenes were shot in Deanery Road and Berkeley Square. Moreover, other locations include in Venice such as Castello Cini Monselice, San Giorgio Maggiore Island, Palazzo Contarini Plignac and Palazzo Pisani Moretta. The village of Arqua Petrarca in the Veneto region in northeastern Italy depicts the fictional village of S Lucien in France. The interiors of various locations were transformed in the Wold Studios of Cardiff, especially the Bodleian Library. The Oxford food market was created in Cardiff Market. The Insole Court in Llandaff was depicted as Matthew Clairmont’s abode.
The series received positive reviews from the critics and was praised for the adaptation, the production and the performances of the cast. Rotten Tomatoes gave 7/10 based on 32 reviews. Metacritic too rated the show 66 out of 100.

The brown mountainsides surrounding the city are a reminder that 98 percent of the nation’s forest cover has been razed, mostly to create charcoal for cooking.
Haiti was left with 10 million cubic meters of debris; about half of it has been cleared, but many remaining sites are behind surviving houses inaccessible to heavy machinery. More than 300,000 Haitians have found temporary employment in rubble removal. Teams of workers are paid by how many cubic meters of rubble they remove.
Workers in the Bel-Air section of Port-au-Prince carry out the rubble from a crumbled home—where a family of nine all perished—bucket by bucket because the alley to access the site is too narrow even for a wheelbarrow.

In the desert about 10 miles outside Port-au-Prince, Camp Corail is the only official resettlement camp with semi-permanent housing. Tens of thousands of residents moved here hoping for better services. The government promises a Korean textile factory will open nearby, bringing 20,000 jobs.

In case you missed it, January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.
“The majority of cervical cancer incidences are directly related to the HPV virus,” writes illustrator Maritza Lugo on her website. She recently teamed up with writer and sex ed speaker Danielle Sepulveres to create a series of illustrations promoting awareness.
“Sadly you will barely read about any of this. Instead you’ll hear about National High Five Day or National Cupcake Day (both actual things). Which is too bad because catchy phrases to promote CCAM like ‘Brrr my cervix is freezing’ or ‘Don’t leave my cervix out in the cold’ are kind of amazing. But I get it. Clickbait does not typically come in the form of 'let’s talk about sexually transmitted diseases.’”
To get people’s attention, Lugo created a series of illustrations that take popular Disney characters, like Cinderella, Jasmine and Belle, and put them at the gynecologist where they learn about things like STD testing, the HPV vaccine and birth control.

Killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) is the mouse homolog of the rat mast cell function-associated antigen (MAFA or 2F1-Ag). KLRG1 is a type II membrane glycoprotein that was first identified on the surface of rat mast cell line RBL-2H3. It is composed of a homodimer of glycosylated 30-38 kD subunits. Mouse and human homologs of KLRG1 are expressed by subsets of NK cells and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells but not mast cells. KLRG1 is also expressed on subsets of CD8+ and CD4+ cells, including CD4+ and CD8+ effector/memory cells, potent regulatory CD4+ T cells. KLRG1 may be involved in regulating NK cell homeostasis. KLRG1 was found to recognize cadherins and thus inhibit immune responses by regulating the effector function and the developmental processes of NK and T cells.Product Details

Long Covid – what implications does it have for employers?
01 December 2020
This article explores the growing phenomenon of “Long Covid” – the continuation of serious symptoms and effects for a significant period after a person’s initial Covid-19 infection and illness. Is disability discrimination law likely to apply in this context and how should employers approach this issue?
The Covid-19 virus was first identified in China towards the end of 2019 and, a year or so on, has been contracted by around 60 million people worldwide leading to 1.4 million deaths. While many who have experienced the virus have fully recovered, increasing numbers who have overcome the immediate symptoms are reporting more prolonged effects.
Fatigue, pain, headaches, breathing difficulties, muscle weakness, lasting fever, anxiety and stress are some of the reported long-term adverse effects of Coronavirus, according to individuals suffering from what is coming to be known as “Long Covid” - also sometimes referred to as “post-Covid syndrome” or “long-tail Covid”. In particular, there have been numerous accounts of young, active, healthy people suffering from post-Covid symptoms, which goes some way to dispelling the popular myth that only the elderly and those with underlying health conditions will be severely affected if they contract the virus.
Those who suffer from long-term health conditions may be “disabled” in law and so protected from discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 (EqA). This article considers whether Long Covid could amount to a “disability” for these purposes and the potential consequences for employers more generally.
What is Long Covid?
There is a lack of medical clarity about what Long Covid is, its effects and how long it might last, which is perhaps unsurprising given the short period of time we have been aware of the virus. Some of the post-Covid symptoms that people have been suffering are mentioned above. According to the NHS, “increasing medical evidence and patient testimony is showing that a small but significant minority of people who contract Covid-19 cannot shake off the effects of the virus months after initially falling ill.”
A new study by researchers at Oxford University suggests that C However, the symptoms that many people describe experiencing after initially “recovering” from Covid-19 are analogous to post-viral fatigue, or similar to those suffered as a result of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
For employment law purposes, there are significant challenges for employers in not knowing how long the effects of Long Covid are likely to last. There is growing anecdotal evidence in particular about the similarities between Long Covid and ME, a condition which tends to have symptoms that come and go (a factor recognised in case law – see below). There can be difficulties and frustrations on both sides of the employment relationship in a situation where an individual can be fit to work one day but debilitated by their condition the next at short notice.
Is Long Covid a disability under the Equality Act?
A person has a disability under the EqA if they have a “physical or mental impairment” which “has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on [their] ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities”.
Some conditions are “deemed” disabilities, which means the individual automatically qualifies if they suffer from the condition – for example, cancer, HIV infection and multiple sclerosis. In other cases, the person must show they satisfy the definition set out above in order to be protected from discrimination because of their condition.
Breaking down the definition, a Long Covid sufferer would most likely be able to show that they have a physical impairment which adversely impacts their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Whether they are then able to establish that the effect is “substantial” will depend on the severity of their symptoms. Reports in the media including of individuals not being able to get out of bed for days or walk any significant distance provide examples that would probably meet this hurdle.
The final part of the test is whether the adverse effect(s) of the impairment are “long-term”, which is defined as:
- having lasted at least 12 months;
- likely to last at least 12 months; or
- likely to last for the rest of the life of the person affected.
This is a question that is going to be especially difficult to answer given that the virus has only been present in the UK since the beginning of this year. While there is currently little medical clarity as to how long the physical effects of Covid-19 are likely to last, the assessment is ultimately a legal determination for the Employment Tribunal (ET) to make on the specific facts of the case rather than a medical issue.
It should also be borne in mind that sufferers of Long Covid may have a pre-existing condition (e.g. diabetes or asthma). Even if an individual’s post-Covid condition is found not to amount a disability itself, the combined effect with their pre-existing condition may result in an overall substantial and long-term adverse effect such that it meets the EqA test for disability.
How are ETs likely to approach Long Covid cases?
To date, we’re not aware of any decided cases on whether Long Covid amounts to a disability within the meaning of the EqA. However, as the effects are apparently analogous to those of post-viral fatigue, ME and CFS, it is instructive to look at previous case law concerning those conditions for guidance. One example is the 2009 decision of the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) in Chief Constable of Dumfries & Galloway Constabulary v Adams, in which the EAT upheld an ET’s decision that an employee who suffered from ME was disabled. While the effects of her condition waxed and waned, it was consistent and persistent and so met the criteria of being “substantial” and “long-term”.
The position is complicated by the fact that the ET has to judge the likelihood of a condition lasting 12 months or longer as it was at the time of the alleged discrimination, as opposed to whether the condition did in fact last 12 months or longer. (See the Court of Appeal’s judgment in the case of McDougall v Richmond Adult Community College.) This is a difficult analysis where we are learning more about the impact and its long-term effects as time goes on.
Practical problems for employers
Employers with staff who are suffering from Long Covid should be mindful of the possibility that they may have a disability, depending on the severity and duration of the effects. This means that treating a Long Covid sufferer less favourably because they have Long Covid or, for example, have high levels of sickness absence or are unable to fully fulfil the requirements of their role, could amount to direct disability discrimination or discrimination arising from a disability.
Perhaps more significantly, the EqA places a positive obligation on an employer to consider what, if any, adjustments can reasonably be made to alleviate any disadvantage suffered by disabled individuals in the workplace. For employees with Long Covid, potential adjustments might, for instance, include adjusting working hours or allowing individuals to continue working from home after lockdown.
Problematic issues are likely to arise in the context of absence management. Long Covid sufferers may have long periods of sickness absence and will need to be treated in the same way as other employees on long-term sickness absence including in terms of their entitlement to company (where applicable) and statutory sick pay. To provide support to staff who become incapacitated during their employment, many employers take out permanent health insurance (PHI) or income protection insurance. Under such policies, employers receive sums from the insurer which they pass on to employees so that they receive full or partial salary while they are unable to work and after exhausting their entitlement to sick pay. For the employer to make a claim under the policy, employees must meet certain eligibility criteria which may include being disabled within the meaning of the EqA.
Given the uncertainty over whether sufferers of Long Covid will meet the test for disability, will employers be able to make PHI claims on behalf of such individuals? Most PHI schemes stipulate a “deferment period”, so benefits are not payable until the employee has been unable to work for a specified period – this may be anywhere from eight weeks to a year. Many Long Covid sufferers may not yet have reached the end of the relevant deferment period but, the longer their symptoms continue, the closer they may be to entitlement under their employer’s PHI policy.
There are signs that insurers are already beginning to accept these types of claims. Aviva’s Covid-19 support page states, in reference to group income protection cover: “employees with the Covid-19 infection who are unable to work due to incapacity past the deferred period on their policy are covered, subject to the terms and conditions of their policy.” In terms of individual critical insurance policies (which will normally pay out only in respect of conditions specifically covered by the policy), Aviva states: “Although Covid-19 isn’t a covered condition on critical illness policies, if complications as a result of the virus lead to other insured criteria being met, the claim would be paid subject to the terms and conditions of the specific policy”.
Legal & General (L&G) has also issued a similar statement regarding critical illness cover, suggesting that if sufferers of Long Covid are diagnosed with a covered condition (possibly including post-viral fatigue and CFS) they may be able to bring a successful critical illness claim. L&G has also launched a new Long Covid intervention package which includes rehabilitation time and eight hours of therapy assessment for sufferers of Long Covid, who can be referred by their employer after an absence of four to six weeks.
Aside from disability discrimination, potential claims could arise in relation to other protected characteristics. Researchers at the King’s College London have identified several risk factors for the development of Long Covid, including older age, heavier weight, suffering from asthma and being female. The study found, among other things, that women under 50 are 50% more likely to suffer from Long Covid than men in the same age group (although it is not clear why). These findings suggest employers need to take care to avoid allegations of indirect sex or age discrimination when approaching the issue of Long Covid in their workforce. There is also data indicating a disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, which raises the prospect of indirect race discrimination allegations against employers.
What should employers be doing now?
Pending further evidence and findings about the long-term effects of Covid, there are various practical steps that employers can take to support employees who are suffering with Long Covid:
- Engage with employees experiencing Long-Covid symptoms and consider whether any reasonable adjustments are possible to alleviate the problems they are experiencing. These could include allowing phased returns to work (following sickness absence), adjustments to working hours and the type of work done, allowing continued homeworking and providing access to occupational health and employee assistance programmes.
- Proactively manage absence. Explore the reasons for any absences and, where there is a pattern of intermittent sickness absence or long-term sickness absences, refer employees to occupational health to gain a better understanding of the prognosis. Document any detrimental impact upon the business caused by the absence.
- Educate line managers about the importance of applying policies and procedures in a non-discriminatory way.
- Consider furloughing employees who are off sick with Long Covid but be aware this should be managed carefully. Government guidance states that the furlough scheme is not intended to be used for short-term sickness absence, although employers are nonetheless able to furlough employees for business reasons when they are off sick if they wish to do so. See our FAQs on furloughing employees for more information.
- Speak to your insurance providers to find out what approach they are taking towards Long Covid.

Abstract : Work on this contract has demonstrated through the correlation of structural, dielectric and optical studies on mixed bismuth oxide layer structure compounds what is perhaps the first well authenticated instance of a ferroelectric:ferroelectric phase transition in the single crystal Bi2SrTa2O9 which involves no change of crystal symmetry. A new family of organo-metallic ferroelastic crystals embracing the compounds Isopropyl Ammonium Chloroplatinate (IPACP) and Chlorostannate (IPACS) has been investigated and shown to have potentially interesting thermo-optic and acoustooptic properties. Dielectric and structural studies have been continued on Pb5Ge3O11 crystals and solid solutions, and the strong dielectric relaxation for (Xi(33) near T(c) has been partially resolved. For the system Pb5Ge(2-x)Si(x)O11 glassy phases phases have been quenched from the stoichiometric ferroelectric compositions, and the recrystallization to a ferroelectric polycrystalline form investigated.

Does Olive Garden have veal parmesan?
Not really the place for standard Olive Garden type food. Try the veal Marsala. However, they did have other veal dishes and also other parm dishes. This place is so accommodating, I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t make it for you!
What cut of meat is veal parmesan?
Veal is known for its tender texture and delicate flavor, and can be purchased in many of the same beef cuts you’re probably already familiar with–roasts, chops, ribs, ground and cutlets. For Veal Parmesan, we’ll be using veal cutlets or veal scallopini.
What is veal parmesan made of?
Also known as Veal Parmigiana, this Italian dish is made with veal cutlets that are breaded, fried, and then baked to perfection with tomato sauce and topped with parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Veal parmesan is similar to milanesa napolitana, but with South American touches.
Does Olive Garden sell chicken parmesan?
Two lightly fried parmesan -breaded chicken breasts are smothered with Olive Garden’s homemade marinara sauce and melted Italian cheeses. We serve our Chicken Parmigiana with a side of spaghetti for dinner.
Does Olive Garden serve mashed potatoes?
Garlic mashed potatoes are a great side for many entrees, especially when the mashed potatoes are as creamy and flavorful as those at Olive Garden.
Is veal healthy to eat?
It’s healthier, too; it has less fat and cholesterol than beef, and is an even better source of nutrients like protein, riboflavin and B6. Pasture-raised veal has much of the flavor of beef but is leaner and moister. Chefs in particular are enthusiastic about using it.
How long do you cook veal?
|VEAL Cooking Times and Temperatures
|Oven Cooked Veal
|Approximate Cooking Time (minutes per pound)
|Boneless shoulder roast
|35 – 40 minutes
|Leg rump or round roast (boneless)
|35 – 40 minutes
What animal is veal?
Veal is the meat from calves, mostly pure-bred male dairy calves. In many countries, including the UK, veal production is closely linked to the dairy industry; male dairy calves cannot produce milk and are often considered unsuitable for beef production.
How are calves killed for veal?
Calves raised to make veal are severely confined. Veal calves live the entirety of their short lives in “ veal crates,” wooden crates that severely restrict the calves ‘ movement. These crates are typically only 2.5 feet wide at most and have slatted wooden floors.
Is veal still cruel?
Veal is the meat from young calves (as opposed to beef, which is the meat from adult cows). Along with foie gras and shark fins, veal has a bad reputation because of the extreme confinement and cruelty involved in the way veal calves are raised on factory farms.
What does veal taste like?
Veal has a velvety texture and is fine-grained and firm. The delicate flavor of the meat is quite refreshing than as expected. Though it might sound weird, Veal is like the chicken of red meats. Comparison between Veal with beef is often; however, it has a delicate flavor than beef.
How do you make veal tender?
Flatten your veal cutlets; they should be around a 1/8th of an inch thick by the time you are done. You use the flat side of a kitchen knife but don’t use a tenderizer. The veal is tender enough as it is. Put the veal, salt, pepper, and flour into a Ziploc or similarly resealable bag and close tightly.
What side dishes go with veal?
Similarly, the best starches to pair with veal are traditional favorites like potatoes, rice, spaetzle, and noodles. For vegetable sides, look to spinach, beets, creamed mushrooms, eggplant, carrots, and green beans.
What are veal cutlets?
Veal cutlets are thin, boneless portions of meat taken from the leg of the animal. Treat veal cutlets how you would any other thin, breaded cutlet (like chicken breast or pork). Season well and use a three-step breading process (flour, egg, then breadcrumbs).

“I am so proud to be sharing my first ever album, ‘Church of Scars’, with all of you. The title came from the track ‘Hallowed Ground’ and it was a lyric that said, “my heart is a church of scars”. It had to be the album title because it’s how I felt while creating what you are about to hear. It was about being unafraid of those wounds. So, with that being said, I hope you feel less alone by hearing this album.” – Bishop Briggs
‘Church of Scars’, the highly anticipated debut album from Bishop Briggs out, features career catapulting singles ‘River’ and ‘Wild Horses’ as well as ‘White Flag’ and ‘Lyin” featuring Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons. The final tracklist is as follows:
1. Tempt My Trouble
4. White Flag
6. Wild Horses
7. Hallowed Ground
9. The Fire
10. Hi-Lo (Hollow)
Bishop Briggs’ single ‘White Flag’ is approaching top 25 at Alternative radio with support from Sirius XM Alt Nation, KROQ and Alt 98.7 in Los Angeles, Alt 92.3 in New York City and many others.
Affirming her exploding fan base, Bishop Briggs has added additional Summer dates to her nearly sold out headlining North American tour, which kicks off next Friday, April 27, at Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, one week after the release of ‘Church of Scars’. The tour of the US and Canada will make stops at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on May 4 and Brooklyn Steel in New York on May 22.

The Rocketeer flies again in IDW’s “Rocketeer Reborn”
Here’s some great news at the end of a rough day: the Rocketeer will soon be making a comeback. I’m mostly familiar with the character because of the movie, so that’s where my general appreciation stems from, but man, what a movie.
IDW have announced that a brand new series starring the jetpacked avenger will debut this December. Taking place decades after the death of the original Rocketeer, Rocketeer Reborn will see a new Rocketeer rise to protect the innocent... and prevent the jet pack from falling into the wrong hands. Check out the details below.
Justice Soars into the 21st Century with Rocketeer Reborn
A Modern-Day Hero Dons the Iconic Helmet and Jetpack in December
SAN DIEGO, CA (September 20, 2018) – The Rocketeer, the pulp-inspired hero immortalized by the late, great Dave Stevens, blasts off once more in December with the first issue of a brand-new five issue IDW series: Rocketeer Reborn!
Writers Elsa Charretier and Pierrick Colinet(collaborators on Star Wars Adventures and The Infinite Loop) and artist Javier Pulido (Human Target, Hawkeye) reintroduce an all-new jetpack wearing hero into the 21st century.
In Rocketeer Reborn, eighty years have passed since Cliff Secord first found an experimental jetpack and soared through the skies as a high-flying hero. Now, decades later, The Rocketeer is all but forgotten to most people, a legend of a bygone era. When Cliff’s jetpack is found in a most unexpected way, it’s a race for those with good and evil intent to grab hold, strap on, and take off for adventure!
“It's an immense honor for us to contribute to Dave Steven's legacy, and a big responsibility as well— making sure we stay true to the spirit of the character for both old and new fans alike. We hope people will find a fresh, pulp-noir, modern Rocketeer, as Javier Pulido's wonderfully unique style and inventive storytelling bring this new adventure to life,” say Charretier and Colinet.
Javier Pulido playfully adds, “Drop the cellphone and look up in the sky. There – The Rocketeer flies again!”
Rocketeer Reborn will hit comic shops and digital retailers this December.

C O N S U L T A N C Y
The art world can be a difficult and puzzling environment if one is not familiar with its costums and criteria for evaluation. We are glad to be at your service for advice and consultancy regarding the sale, acquisition, conservation or display of Belgian works of art. Well connected with renowned international dealers and auction houses, we are happy to assist in the positioning of your important works by non-Belgian artists on the international market.
We feel strongly about the attempt to conserve and promote Belgian heritage. With a vast knowledge of the exceptional Belgian Schools, works of the highest quality are selected for our clients. Looking for that perfect addition? Let us know what you are looking for. We work closely with private collectors to ensure that works of particular interest can be acquired, thus building coherent, insightful and beautiful collections of the highest quality.
R E S E A R C H
A feeling for art is as much a feeling for history as it is a feeling for beauty. To ensure our works are being seen in the light of their respective merits, each work is carefully researched and documented. We try to promote this academic view on art collecting to our clients as much as possible, and assist them in the process of documenting and researching their collections.
Is. Verheyden's "Le Dimanche" exhibited at the Brussels Salon de La Libre Esthétique in 1906.
F R E E L A N C E Writing & Curatorship
In a time when art as a narrative is highly contested in and through art itself, it is important to recognise the narrative of history. In our attempt to conserve and promote Belgian artistic heritage we strongly welcome every opportunity to co-operate on publications, catalogues and articles in our field. We encourage exhibition loans for works offered by the gallery, thus assisting public institutions to create interesting and insightful expositions.

When dealing with private collectors, both on a retail and on a consultancy basis, all efforts are put into envisioning their collections. Our work is one of collaboration, of joined forces in the attempt to construct narrative environments in which to display beautiful objects.
Private collections are more than the sum of their contents. They are the history of a family or of one man, the story of one painter or of a whole nation. In helping our clients to build meaningful collections, we also offer the service of documenting and cataloguing the extant collection. A stronger understanding of both the collection and the collector is formed in the process, where greater enjoyment and value creation go alongside the same path.

A derivative of the MQM-107 Streaker, Kalkara (aboriginal for "storm petrel") is a subsonic unmanned aerial target system (UATS) first flown in 1992. In 1994 a production contract was awarded to Tracor (now BAE Systems). Australia purchased the MQM-107E variant, which launches from land or ships with a Rocket Assisted Take-off (RATO) system. The aircraft is recovered into the water by parachute, and can be re-used up to 17 times.
Payloads are carried on wingtip and underwing mounts and include the Advance Radar Missile Scorer (ARMS) vector scoring systems (with sensors fitted to the aircraft), MDI scoring system (with sensors fitted to the towed targets), and the Hayes Universal Towed Target System (HUTTS), and IR/RF counter-measures.
The Royal Australian Navy has used Kalkara as a test target for the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM ).


CHICAGO — A high-profile South Side church leader got some high-powered help Sunday in calling for the City of Chicago to make a multi-million investment in violence prevention programs.
Former education secretary Arne Duncan Sunday joined Bishop Larry Trotter, the leader of The Congregation At Sweet Holy Sprit Sunday.
While Mayor Lori Lightfoot has allocated about $9 million for violence prevention programs, Trotter and Duncan believe that number needs to be closer to $50 million.
“If we want the kind of peace already seen in other cities we have to move in a very special way,” Duncan said.
“If we invest, not just incarcerate or police our young men, our city will be much much safer,” Trotter said.
Another speaker at the event was Brendan Taylor, who was introduced as an example of how targeted programs can work.
After some legal trouble and being on house arrest, he entered a program, got his GED and a job at Deloitte.
“We need help, we all need help… to keep this thing going,” Taylor said.
Duncan and Trotter say they’ve spoken to the mayor about their proposal but that’s as far as it’s gone. When asked where she’d find the extra money, Duncan said Chicago needs to fill the “peace deficit.”
“Every shooting in our city costs about a million dollars; police times, all the other costs, we can do better with just a small investment. We want a dramatic drop in violence,” Duncan said.

Denmark-based pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk will no longer use live animals in biological batch testing.
The company has confirmed the last test involving the use of animals occurred on 28 November, used to test the company’s haemophilia product recombinant Factor VII.
Novo Nordisk chief science officer Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen lauded the achievement, adding: "We have been working for more than a decade, in close collaboration with regulatory authorities around the world, to eliminate obsolete tests or develop and certify new laboratory assays that can be used instead of animals."
Having marked the end of the company’s animal testing, Novo Nordisk will now use cells from hamster and other animals in testing production batches, allowing more precision and reliability.
Following a growing number of employees questioning the validity of animal testing procedures, Novo Nordisk established a task force tasked with removing redundant product-control tests in live animals.
The number of animals used at Novo Nordisk has fallen from more than 13,000 a year in the 1990s to just 772 in 2010.

Average battery electric vehicle fees by state (2023)
This digest was written by Nate Graham, Policy Intern at Atlas Public Policy.
Thirty-four states have now passed additional annual registration fees for electric vehicles, largely to compensate for the gas taxes they do not pay. True, motor-fuel taxes have failed to keep up with road spending in recent decades, having historically provided most federal road funding (and in recent years, around a third of state road funding). However, a new Atlas report explains that EVs are not the problem, and there are better solutions than EV fees. Here are three key takeaways from the report:
Roads have been underfunded for years due to inflation, stagnant gas tax rates, increasing fuel economy, and slow growth in vehicle-miles traveled (VMT). The federal gas tax rate hasn’t risen in 30 years. Between 2003 and 2021, as the average state gas tax rate rose about 40 percent, the cost of building roads more than doubled. Meanwhile, from 2005-2020, the fuel economy of light-duty vehicles increased by nearly a third, and VMT growth slowed substantially. Despite rapid sales growth, in 2021, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) still accounted for just 0.5 percent of light-duty vehicle registrations and less than one percent of the gap between federal motor-fuel revenues and highway spending.
Many states charge EV fees that could be considered “unfair.” There are different definitions of what constitutes a “fair” EV fee. These include the average annual gas tax revenue paid by a) the average vehicle on the road, b) the average new vehicle (a much lower figure because of increasing fuel economy), and c) a hypothetical gasoline vehicle with 117 MPG, the energy-basis MPG-equivalent of the average BEV. Depending on one’s definition of fairness, at least eight states, and as many as all 34 states with fees, charge BEVs more than the fair level. This can discourage potential EV buyers at a critical juncture for decarbonizing our transportation sector.
