As vaccination efforts increase internationally, Russia reported that they have just registered their "world's first veterinary vaccine" that fights COVID-19 in animals. This is Carnivac-Kov, a formula developed by the Federal Center for Animal Health (FGBI), a branch of Rosselkhoznadzor, the veterinary health authority in Russia. According to the agency, this vaccine is ready for mass production and they plan to manufacture around 10,000 doses per day, IFLScience reported. The two doses of this formula cost $ 7.72 USD. Carnivac-Kov clinical trials began in August 2020 with cats, dogs, mink, and ferrets. In October 2020, more tests were conducted on more dogs and cats, as well as other fur-bearing species, such as Arctic foxes. The reports claim that the investigation was successful, although the data was not published. "The results of the research allow us to conclude that the vaccine is harmless and its high immunogenic activity, since all the vaccinated animals tested in 100% of the cases developed antibodies against the Coronavirus," said Konstantin Savenkov, deputy director of Rosselkhoznadzor. The formula is not recommended for pregnant or just calving animals, animals less than two months old, or clinically ill animals. On the other hand, in the United States, clinical trials of a veterinary vaccine against Covid-19 developed by Zoetis are being carried out. So far tests have been done on apes at the San Diego Zoo, but it's unclear if the formula will be commercially available in the near future. Despite the fact that Covid-19 in animals does not pose a risk to public health, pet owners in Russia now have the possibility to vaccinate their animals to prevent them from getting sick from the virus. As of March 2, 2021, SARS-CoV-2 infections had been confirmed in at least 115 cats, 81 dogs, as well as 27 large cats and 3 gorillas in captivity; according to the US Veterinary Medical Association. Some studies indicate that the virus could cause heart problems in domestic dogs and cats. However, there are few reports of pets becoming seriously ill from the Coronavirus and these animals do not pose a risk of transmission to humans.

Volkswagen's ID range has been a catalyst for its commercial offensive. Thanks to the development of the new MEB platform, they have been able to create a family of models that ranges from the B segment to the competitive E segment. Among them there is a very special one that takes us back to the brand's golden age. We refer to the Volkswagen ID Buzz, a van that, thanks to its charming design, has managed to penetrate the hearts of fans of the brand. When we saw the Volkswagen ID Buzz for the first time, we were pleasantly surprised, especially by the great resemblance of its design to the T1. However, it was not until later that they confirmed their arrival on the assembly line. Shortly after, they announced that their production would take place exclusively in Germany and, now, they are taking another step forward. The brand has confirmed that it will be sold in the US, daring to give an exact date. Do you know which? The landing of the Volkswagen ID Buzz in the United States will be in 2024 Thanks to various sources, including Car & Driver, we have learned about the plans that the German consortium has for the Volkswagen ID Buzz. It has been Carsten Intra, head of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles USA, who has announced the date on which it will start its sale in the US. If all goes according to plan, the first market to receive it will be Europe. This will occur in early 2022 and later, in mid-2023, it will reach the other side of the pond. In addition, Intra wanted to comment on the way in which the range will be made up. Customers in Europe will be able to choose between two versions: passenger and cargo. However, the Americans will have to settle for the former. The reason why they would have made this decision is not clear, although there are sources that suggest that it was due to tariffs. Apparently, this type of vehicle must pay a 25% tax to enter the country. As a complement, Intra reported that in the US only versions with a short wheelbase will be available. Finally, he reconfirmed what we have all known for a long time. The Volkswagen ID Buzz does not yet have a definitive trade name. This and many more data will be public when 2022 approaches and the date of its world debut. We are expectant, because we want to know how much it changes.

Sleeping less than 7 hours is associated with adverse health outcomes. Sleep is essential at any age. Energizes the mind, restores the body, and strengthens every system in the body. How much sleep do you need to get there? The National Sleep Foundation (United States) is a charity focused on educating about sleep. Their experts advise that healthy adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Babies, children, and teens need even more, because they are developing. But there is a belief that with advanced age, sleep is drastically reduced, and that older adults stay awake for half the night. A healthy older adult, says the Foundation, sleeps just under 7 to 8 hours a night. What if sleep is way below that? Then the reflection is oriented towards individual needs: level of physical activity and general state of health, in addition to good sleep hygiene. How many hours should each age group sleep? The foundation divides it into nine age groups, below: Age Hours of sleep Newborn 0-3 months 14-17 hours Infant 4-11 months 12-15 hours Toddler 1-2 years 11-14 hours Preschool 3-5 years 10-13 hours School 6-13 years 9-11 hours Adolescent 14-17 years 8-10 hours Young adult 18-25 years 7-9 hours Adult 16-64 years 7-9 hours Senior 65 years or older 7-8 hours In each group there is a recommended relative time of hours of sleep at night. In certain cases, sleeping an hour or so in that range may be acceptable, based on the person's circumstances. Acceptable, not optimal. Some questions to determine the quality of your sleep: Are you productive, healthy and happy with the hours you sleep? Or have you noticed that you require more hours to perform to your full potential? Do you have coexisting health conditions or are you at high risk for any disease? Do you have a high physical wear every day? Do you frequently play sports or do strenuous field work? Do your daily activities depend on your alertness to be safe? Do you drive every day and operate heavy machinery? Do you feel sleepy while doing these activities? Have you experienced or have a history of trouble sleeping? Do you depend on caffeine to sustain you during the day? When you have a day off, do you sleep more than on a day from work? A second opinion Other health institutions have their own guidelines on the amount of time we should sleep, but they do not differ much from the previous ones. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Society for Sleep Research argue that adults should get 7 hours or more of sleep per night, regularly, for good health. Their arguments: Sleeping less than 7 hours is associated with adverse health outcomes: weight gain, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart and cerebrovascular disease, depression, and early death. It is also associated with immune function disorders, pain, poor performance, increased errors, and risk of accidents. Now the opposite: Sleeping less than 7 hours is associated with adverse health outcomes: weight gain, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart and cerebrovascular disease, depression, and early death. It is also associated with immune function disorders, pain, poor performance, increased errors, and risk of accidents. Now the opposite: Improving your sleep hygiene, on the other hand, is a good investment. Start with the environment where you sleep and the habits before going to bed. Examples: Stick to the same sleep schedule every day, even on the weekends. Practice a relaxing routine before bed to make it easier to close your eyes early. Choose a firm and comfortable mattress and complement it with quality pillows and sheets. Minimize possible interruptions caused by light and sound. Optimize temperature and aroma. Unplug from electronics like phones and laptops half an hour before bed. Monitor your caffeine and alcohol consumption, and avoid them hours before going to sleep. Get enough sunlight during the day. And if you are a parent, let the routine be for everyone, children and adolescents, each in their recommended sleep times. A quality sleep Getting enough sleep is part of the goal, but remember that it is not only about hours, but about quality. A fragmented and restless dream will be like not having slept at all. Go back to the sleep hygiene recommendations to avoid this. If you or someone in your family has symptoms such as daytime sleepiness, chronic snoring, leg cramps, shortness of breath during sleep, chronic insomnia, see your doctor or even a sleep specialist to find out the cause. quality Getting enough sleep is part of the goal, but remember that it is not only about hours, but about quality.

Ciaran McMullan, a physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a researcher for the National Sleep Foundation, explains that the way we sleep impacts the kidneys. Getting a good night's sleep and taking melatonin supplements can improve kidney function. “Kidney function is regulated by the sleep-wake cycle. It helps us coordinate the load on the kidneys for 24 hours, ”says McMullan. "We also know that nighttime patterns can affect people with chronic kidney disease, and that people who sleep less generally have a much faster decline in kidney function." Good sleep, like good nutrition, is intentional, enjoyable, and energizing. If you can't sleep, don't stay in bed awake, thinking or getting anxious. Wait 20 minutes and then get up and do something relaxing.

The executive director of the Alliance for Vaccines assured that if they had more doses they could "make them available" to a greater number of countries. The executive director of the GAVI Vaccine Alliance, Seth Berkley, admitted this Sunday that the great challenge to advance global vaccination against covid-19 is access to doses. “The big challenge right now is access to vaccines. We have placed orders for more than 2 billion doses, but most of them arrive in the second half of the year. In the first half, due to the nationalist component in vaccines, there have been fewer doses available, "Berkley told CBS News. Berkley assured that if they had more doses they could "make them available" to a greater number of countries. He cited the case of India, which he considered, "by volume, the largest supplier of vaccines for the developing world", but warned that "it has intensified its vaccination programs", due to the new wave of coronavirus infections that faces. "And that has meant that they have needed more doses", therefore "they have made less available to the rest of the world." "We had expected in March and April around 90 million doses, and we suspect that we will get much, much less than that, which is a problem," admitted the expert, who observed a "race" on immunization with rich countries. administering the doses "to a large part of its po[CENSORED]tion." In that sense, he indicated that his hope is that developed countries "begin to make their vaccines available to the rest of the world, including those they may not use." "For example, the United States not only has Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, but it also has vaccines from Novavax and, of course, AstraZeneca. These could be available and would make a big difference in terms of supply to the world." he affirmed. Regarding the goal that by April 7, when World Health Day was celebrated, vaccines against covid-19 would be administered in all countries, Berkley indicated that the COVAX program, the international initiative to carry out this massive campaign of immunization of which GAVI is a part, works on it. "We are on the way," he said, noting that they have delivered vaccines to 84 countries in the last six weeks and hope to reach more than 100 in the next two.

Trilobites were marine creatures that survived longer than dinosaurs A new study has found the first evidence for sophisticated respiratory organs in 450-million-year-old marine creatures. Contrary to po[CENSORED]r belief, trilobites breathed on their legs, with gill-like structures hanging from their thighs. Trilobites were a group of marine animals with crescent-shaped heads that resembled horseshoe crabs, and they were highly successful in terms of evolution. Although they are now extinct, they survived for more than 250 million years, longer than the dinosaurs. Thanks to new technologies and an extremely rare set of fossils, scientists at the University of California Riverside (UCR) can now show that trilobites breathed oxygen and explain how they did it. Published in the journal Science Advances, these findings help piece together the puzzle of early animal evolution. "Until now, scientists have compared the upper limb of the trilobite leg to the non-respiratory upper limb in crustaceans, but our article shows, for the first time, that the upper limb functioned as gills," Jin said in a statement. Bo Hou, UCR paleontology doctoral student who led the research. Among the oldest animals on earth, this work helps place trilobites on the evolutionary tree more securely among the oldest arthropods, a large group of animals with exoskeletons and crustaceans. The research was made possible, in part, because of unusually preserved fossil specimens. More than 22,000 species of trilobites have been discovered, but the soft parts of the animals are visible in only about two dozen. "These were preserved in pyrite, fool's gold, but it is more important than gold to us, because it is key to understanding these ancient structures," said UCR professor of geology and co-author of the paper, Nigel Hughes. A CT scanner was able to read the density differences between the pyrite and the surrounding rock and helped create three-dimensional models of these rarely seen gill structures. "It allowed us to see the fossil without having to drill and polish the rock covering the specimen a lot," said paleontologist Melanie Hopkins, a member of the research team at the American Museum of Natural History. "This way we could get a view that would even be difficult to see with a microscope - really tiny trilobite anatomical structures on the order of 10 to 30 microns across," she said. For comparison, a human hair is approximately 100 microns thick. Although these specimens were first described in the late 1800s and others have used CT scans to examine them, this is the first study to use technology to examine this part of the animal. The researchers were able to see how blood would have seeped through chambers in these delicate structures, picking up oxygen on its way as it moved. They look a lot like the gills of modern marine arthropods like crabs and lobsters. Comparing the pyrite specimens to another trilobite species gave the team additional details on how the filaments were arranged relative to each other and with respect to the legs. Most trilobites poked at the bottom of the ocean, using spikes on the lower legs to catch and crush their prey. Above those parts, on the upper limbs branch, were these additional structures that some believed were meant to aid swimming or digging. "In the past, there was some debate about the purpose of these structures because the upper leg is not a good location for the breathing apparatus," Hopkins said. “You'd think it would be easy for those filaments to get clogged with sediment where they are. It is an open question why they developed the structure in that place of their bodies ”. Hughes' lab uses fossils to answer questions about how life developed in response to changes in Earth's atmosphere. About 540 million years ago, there was an explosive diversification in the variety and complexity of the animals that live in the oceans. “We have theoretically known that this change must have been related to an increase in oxygen, since these animals require its presence. But we've had very little ability to measure that, ”Hughes said. "Which makes finds like these even more exciting."

Just a few weeks ago we were getting to know the new Toyota Yaris Cross in person. It is a crossover model with compact dimensions, which is situated as the access to the SUV range of the Japanese firm. Take the platform of the Yaris, although it is considerably more spacious. Of course, it uses a hybrid system for its propulsion. There is still time for the new B-SUV to hit the streets, but Toyota continues to present important news regarding this model. We have recently learned that it will have a version called Toyota Yaris Cross Adventure, with a differentiated and more country appearance, as well as more equipment. As is customary in these more adventurous styling versions, the Yaris Cross Adventure adds oversized lower guards on all four sides. In turn, it integrates chrome roof rails and specific 18-inch alloy wheels with a two-tone finish. Nor is it missing the sporty detail of the contrasting black color, on the pillars, roof and mirror caps. If we move to the cabin, the Adventure will have piano black accents, black headliner, mixed-upholstery seats and a gold-tone accent line. There is no lack of leather trim for the steering wheel and transmission knob. To all the above we must add that the Japanese company has announced the launch of a more equipped Premiere Edition for our country, although prices are still unknown. We do know that it will have specific equipment, such as 18-inch machined wheels (different from the standard ones), leather upholstery and more equipment. Among other additions we can highlight the Head-Up Display, the two-tone body or the electric opening and closing boot. We recall that the Toyota Yaris Cross will be powered by a 116 hp hybrid engine, with an automatic e-CVT and being able to choose between front-wheel drive or intelligent 4 × 4 AWD-i.

A diet that provides good nutrition means getting the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals along with the macronutrients. 2020 has been a different year. The situation we experienced made for many of us kneading and making bread stopped being something anecdotal to become a hobby with which to distract ourselves. This, added to the then temporary closure of the gyms, caused a change in our routines and, with it, the abandonment of some healthy habits. How can we redirect this situation and return to a healthy lifestyle? For Susan Bowerman, director of Global Nutrition Education and Training at Herbalife Nutrition, the key is to make small changes in our routines that promote healthy eating now and in the future. 1. Continue cooking at home in a healthy way. A positive aspect of spending more time at home is that more and more people are encouraged to cook. Even with restaurants open, cooking at home allows us to include more nutritious foods in our daily lives, such as a greater variety of fruits and vegetables; foods that contain healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, and fish; fiber-rich whole grains or lean protein sources, including plant-based protein. Experimenting in the kitchen with fresh ingredients and new recipes can make healthy eating delicious as well as fun. 2. Food as a source of energy. Eating healthy helps us maintain a healthy weight. But what are the benefits of a balanced diet? A diet that provides good nutrition means getting the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals, along with macronutrients, to help the body work at its best. From improving emotional well-being to maintaining our body, to reducing bad cholesterol, which is a threat to the heart, the benefits of eating healthy are multiple. A diet that provides good nutrition means getting the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals along with the macronutrients. 3. Enjoy healthy food to go. Home delivery is on the rise, not only because it allows us to enjoy the food from our favorite restaurant at home, but also because in this way it supports local businesses. But this option, which is often related to fast food, can also be adjusted to healthy diets. It is important to take the time to review the entire menu offer, so that you can choose those dishes that include a lot of vegetables and lean proteins. Some restaurants also have nutritional information, which can help you make better choices. 4. Preparation is the key. Working from home, snacking or unhealthy meals are more accessible and therefore one can easily be tempted. However, preparing and having a healthy snack takes the same time if you have all the necessary products. Storing chopped carrots and celery in the fridge and dipping them in hummus can be a healthy solution for snacking between meals. Other quick and healthy snacks include a bowl of fresh fruit or a protein shake with banana. Meal planning can be time consuming, but make sure you stick to a healthy eating plan throughout the week. Having a well-stocked refrigerator, freezer, and pantry can help. Also, you can make healthy cereals in advance, such as brown rice or quinoa, and have several vegetables ready to eat. As for protein, you can turn to quick-cooking chicken and fish breasts, such as tuna or salmon, veggie burgers, or canned beans. With all these options, eating a healthy diet throughout the week is much easier. 5. Focus on general wellness. Eating healthy is essential, but so is having a balanced lifestyle. To keep stress at bay, it is important to look at all the aspects that improve our well-being. If you do not have a diet rich in nutrients, it must be supplemented; and hydration is important to maintain balanced nutrition. Exercise also improves health and quality of sleep. Mental health also plays a critical role in well-being. Stress is a factor that contributes to the development of heart disease or obesity, among others. Establishing a daily routine in which attention is paid to nutrition, exercise, adequate sleep and mental rest, will promote general well-being. It is important to take the time to review the entire menu offer, so that you can choose those dishes that include a lot of vegetables and lean proteins 6. Connect with people who follow a healthy lifestyle. When it comes to making diet changes and weight loss, a supportive community can make a difference. Finding and connecting with people who share a desire to adopt a healthier lifestyle or lose weight can help you make those lifestyle changes. Try sharing favorite healthy recipes, talking about challenges, holding each other accountable, and cooking together - even remotely. In addition, this social connection can reduce anxiety and depression levels, regulate emotions, increase self-esteem and empathy, and improve the immune system, especially after a year in which circumstances have led to a higher level of depression. 7. Reinvest time in the things you enjoy or find new hobbies. Participating in activities that we enjoy and learning new things impacts on the health of our brain and stimulates it, so, although it is difficult to find time to carry them out, we must prioritize these actions. Experiences such as volunteering, taking dance classes or learning a new language to travel to the dream destination are a source of motivation that allows us to keep our minds occupied and protects us from the dreaded anxiety. The last year has been challenging on many levels. Having gained weight, having exercised less than it should or having neglected the healthy eating plan are not a reason for punishment, there is always time to get back on track. Eating the right nutrients and getting regular physical activity are healthy habits that should be maintained, as they are one of the best things we can do for ourselves to stay strong and healthy.

19 countries of the bloc agreed to give these five countries a fraction of the proportional part that would have corresponded to them of 10 million doses of Pfizer. Five European countries, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia, will obtain a higher proportion of the 10 million vaccines that the European Union will receive in advance from Pfizer to compensate for the delays they have faced in their vaccination campaigns after having opted for the AstraZeneca vaccine, which has not met the expected delivery schedule. Nineteen Member States, including Spain, agreed to give these five countries a fraction of their proportional share of these 10 million vaccines, while Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovenia decided not to share their allocation. This means that, for example, Spain would have had to receive exactly 1,057,166 of these 10 million that Pfizer has advanced -because its po[CENSORED]tion represents around 10% of the European po[CENSORED]tion-, but has chosen to give up a third so that Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia can accelerate their vaccination campaigns and not be left behind due to not having enough doses of AstraZeneca. In this way, Spain will receive 740,016 doses of the 10 million that Pfizer has advanced, according to a document that sets out the exact amounts that each of the Twenty-seven will receive and to which Efe had access. Thanks to the generosity of Spain and eighteen other countries, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia, will receive, in addition to their proportional share by po[CENSORED]tion of the total 10 million, an additional 2.85 million that will only have to be distributed among them . The joint purchase of vaccines carried out by the European Commission implies that each country has access to these drugs proportional to its po[CENSORED]tion, but States could choose to prioritize certain vaccines before knowing how their distribution was going to develop. Bulgaria, for example, opted for AstraZeneca and not for Pfizer-BioNTech because its logistics were easier and it has had to suffer and face the cuts and delays in the deliveries of the former. The Portuguese Presidency of the Council, which drew up the distribution proposal, explained in a statement that it is an "extraordinary" solution that allows "a significant expression of solidarity through the distribution of almost three million vaccines to the Member States. who need it most. " "I welcome the agreement reached today on the solidarity distribution of vaccines among the EU Member States, which allows at least 45% of the po[CENSORED]tion of each of them to be vaccinated by the end of June. Now we must accelerate vaccination and start a just, ecological and digital recovery, "tweeted Portuguese Prime Minister Antònio Costa. Austria had been one of the countries that had initially advocated for such solidarity, but distanced itself from the final agreement when it became clear that it was not one of the countries that most needed extra vaccines.

WHO experts suspect that the polecat badger is one of the possible intermediaries. From the pangolin to the polecat badger, passing through the snake, the search for the animal that transmitted the coronavirus to man remains open after the latest study by Chinese experts and the WHO, which does not make it clear which one acted as a vector in the disease. Experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) suspect that the Pole badger is one of the possible intermediaries in the transmission of the coronavirus from bats to humans, but what is this little-known animal? In their report, these experts recall on page 96 a list of animals that could have played the role of vector, from cats, rabbits or minks, to less common species such as pangolins. The report also cites the civet and the polecat badger, two species that were carriers of SARS in the early 2000s in China's Canton province (south). The bat Scientists quickly accused the bat of being at the origin of the coronavirus when it emerged in late 2019. A genetic study in the journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in January 2020 found that the coronavirus, detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan, it was closely related to a variant that exists in bats, which would be the "native host". But in fact, bats are hosts for many other variants of the coronavirus. The scientists point out, however, that the covid-19 must have been transmitted by some other species, not yet identified, known as an "intermediate host". Although the study by experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Chinese researchers, to which AFP had access on Monday, considers a direct transmission between bat and man "possible", it opts for the theory that the virus was transmitted via another intermediary animal that has not yet been identified. The snake and others ... A study published shortly after in the Journal of Medical Virology identified snakes as possible intermediaries. But the hypothesis was quickly discarded by other experts convinced that the vector is probably a mammal, as in the case of SARS, which was a civet, a small mammal highly prized in China for its meat. The pangolin Researchers at the South China University of Agriculture pointed out in February 2020 that the endangered scaly mammal, the pangolin, could be the "missing link" between bats and humans. This nocturnal insectivore was one of the wild animals that were sold in the Huanan market in the city of Wuhan, with which the first cases of covid-19 are related. Vulnerable cats and dogs In late February 2020, a domestic dog was quarantined in Hong Kong after testing "mildly positive" for the coronavirus after his owner contracted the disease. In the following months, there were cases of infections in cats and dogs, although the latter were very few, all supposedly infected by their owners. Cases of ferrets and hamsters as well as tigers and lions in captivity were also reported. But the scientists pointed out that these domestic animals, even if they are infected, cannot re-infect humans. Minks under suspicion Suspicion has also fallen on minks, which are bred for their valuable fur. On May 20, Dutch authorities said that these small mammals could have transmitted the coronavirus to a worker at a mink farm in the Netherlands. On May 26, the WHO said that Dutch workers who had allegedly been infected by minks could be the first known cases of animal-to-human transmission. In other countries of the European Union, such as Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Spain and Sweden, as well as in the United States, cases of covid-19 were detected in mink farms. In July, tens of thousands of these animals were slaughtered in the Netherlands and about 100,000 on a farm in Aragon, Spain. The Danish government ordered the slaughter of more than 15 million minks in early November. Copenhagen warned that the mutation through mink, known as "Group 5," could threaten the efficacy of a future vaccine. The mink, the pangolin ... but also the rabbit, the raccoon, the domestic cat, the civet or the polecat badger. There are a multitude of possible "intermediary hosts" in the latest report by the Chinese experts and the WHO. They even mention other hypotheses, such as transmission through frozen meat. The polecat badger, rabbit or raccoon The polecat badger's name is self explanatory. It is a member of the mustelids ('Mustelidae'), the family of mammals that includes weasels, badgers, ferrets, otters, polecats, and mink. With a length of around 33-43 centimeters and elongated shape, it is similar to ferrets. Its weight is 1 to 3 kilos. But they also have white markings on their heads and a stripe on their back, features common to several badger species. The polecat badger resembles a palm civet which, although not a mustelid, was identified as a vector among bats and humans in the 2003 SARS outbreak. - Where is it located? The polecat badger has five identified subspecies: Borneo, Chinese, Javanese, Burmese, and Vietnamese. The Chinese subspecies - 'Melogale moschata' - is the most widespread and can be found even in the Indian state of Assam, southern China or the island of Taiwan. They have diverse habitats and are found in subtropical forests and grasslands. How is? It is most active at dusk and at night, it has an omnivorous diet of seeds, fruits and nuts as well as insects, worms and small amphibians. Its sharp claws allow it to perch - and sleep - in trees. It also defends itself against threats by emitting a smelly discharge from the anal glands when it is in a panic. Is in danger? No, it is currently in the "least affected" category on the UN Red List. Although it is sometimes hunted for its skin, the polecat badger is not under any pressure. Unlike many species, it adapts quite well to human presence in its habitat. A study of polecat badgers conducted in the mid-1990s near a town in southeastern China showed that the animals often use the piles of firewood and stones for resting and hunt for food in rice, soybean, and rice fields. cotton or grass. Ranchers often appreciate these animals as they kill pests and do not usually attack chickens or livestock.

The trail range of the green brand continues to grow to offer a model adapted to every need and this time it presents the new Kawasaki Versys 650 Comfort and Mobility. These two new versions arrive to complete Kawasaki's offer in the middle segment with very balanced and easy-to-drive models. The new Kawasaki Versys 650 Comfort and Mobility thus join the already complete Versys range that will continue to have its three Tourer, Tourer Plus and Grand Tourer versions, each one more equipped than the previous one. The new Mobility version differs from the base version in that it incorporates accessories as standard, such as a hand guard fitted with an aluminum bar to improve protection or a 47 l rear trunk that can accommodate a pair of full-face helmets. To this are added, also standard, a support for the GPS navigator and a resin gel protector, black or semi-transparent, for the fuel tank. Second version On the other hand, the Comfort version comes equipped with the hand covers, the support for the navigator and the tank protector. Dressed in an aggressive aesthetic and equipped with its well-known 66 hp parallel twin mechanics (also available in 35 kW), the Kawasaki Versys Comfort and Mobility feature a 41 mm inverted fork and its classic rear shock anchored on one side. Braking is entrusted to a 300mm double disc and a 250mm rear rotor assisted by ABS and the wheels are 17 ”alloy.

Calcium is present in many foods other than milk, such as yogurt, fish and vegetables, experts say. Calcium is a mineral present in various foods. It is generally known that the body needs calcium to keep bones strong and carry out several important functions. Most of this micronutrient is housed in the bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and rigidity, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). "The body needs calcium for the muscles to move and the nerves transmit messages from the brain to different parts of the body", specifies the report of the organization. In addition, it helps the circulation of blood through the blood vessels throughout the body and helps to release hormones and enzymes that influence almost all the functions of the body. This mineral fulfills two fundamental functions in the human body. The first is skeletal function, which consists of the formation of bones from fetal age to adolescence. The second is the non-skeletal function, which consists of maintaining or performing different functions in the cells of the human body, explains Dr. Ana Altamirano, a nutritionist for the Vita brand, a pasteurizer from Quito. How much calcium do I need? Answering this premise depends specifically on age. The NIH report recommended average amounts per milligrams (mg), depending on the stage of life and taking into account the uniqueness of each individual. Life stage Recommended amount Babies up to 6 months of age 200 mg Babies 7 to 12 months of age 260 mg Children 1 to 3 years of age 700 mg Children 9 to 13 years of age 1,300 mg Adolescents 14 to 8 years of age 1,300 mg Adults 19 to 50 years of age 1,000 mg Adult men ages 51 to 70 1,000 mg Adult women 51 to 70 years of age 1,200 mg Adults 71 years of age and older 1,200 mg Pregnant or breastfeeding teens 1,300 mg Pregnant or lactating adult women 1,000 mg Children 4 to 8 years of age 1,000 mg The recommended intakes of calcium are related to age, due to the different needs of this mineral in different stages of life. For example, in stages of active growth — first years of life and pubertal spurt (beginning of puberty) —the demands are greater to meet the growth in length of the long bones. Years later, especially in women after menopause, the greater bone loss of calcium increases the requirements to maintain adequate bone density, which avoids the higher incidence of bone fractures caused by stress, which are more frequent at this stage of their life, he explained. Dr. Emilio Martínez, part of the Department of Physiology of the University of Granada, in one of his investigations. Dr. Xiomara Guerra, president of the Guayas Nutritionists Association, recommends ingesting calcium at least twice a day, specifically in food: “Generally at breakfast, when you are having milk or vegetables (kale, broccoli, cabbage Chinese), it should be used to consume this mineral ". On the other hand, if the patient needs calcium supplements, she recommends them only once a day

Scientists discovered the code from vaccine container drops destined for trash, and posted the code on the Github platform. Two Stanford scientists extracted the entire mRNA sequence from Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine and posted the code on Github, a website po[CENSORED]r with software developers looking to host and share source code. An mRNA sequence is a set of instructions that tells your body what to do. In the case of mRNA vaccines such as Moderna's, the US CDC indicates that these "teach our cells to produce a protein, or even a portion of a protein, that triggers an immune response within our body." In essence, it is the code that executes the vaccine. Digital media Vice notes that the entire repository on the site is only four pages long. The first half of the post is just a summary by the scientists of what they did, that is, the last two pages of the post on Github are the ones that contain the full mRNA sequence. The scientists, Andrew Fire and Massa Shoura, explained part of the process in an email to Vice. For example, they technically did not reverse engineer the vaccine to obtain the mRNA sequence. "We published the putative sequence of two synthetic RNA molecules that have become prevalent enough in the general environment of medicine and human biology in 2021," they said. Fire and Shoura also say they were able to get their work done without taking a single vaccine out of distribution. All the two scientists needed was a small amount of leftovers in vials that are usually thrown away after a person is vaccinated. They even asked the FDA for permission to keep the used vials. The scientists say they contacted Moderna before publishing the mRNA sequence, but received no response. However, according to Fire and Shoura, the FDA granted them approval to "share the sequence with the community." It should be noted that while providing public access to this information may be beneficial for educational and research purposes, it will not provide any home version of the COVID-19 vaccine. Various resources needed to make vaccines are inaccessible to the public. As Vice mentions, COVID-19 vaccines have been subjected to this type of analysis to find out what they contain. In late 2020, the founder of PowerDNS, an open source software provider, was able to discover the mRNA sequence of the BioNTech / Pfizer vaccine using only the information that was available online.

The San Diego Zoo has already immunized these primates with two doses of a pet drug Nine great apes from the San Diego Zoo (USA) have become the first animals - other than humans - to receive their covid vaccine. Four orangutans and five bonobos who received their two doses in February at this Californian zoo where eight gorillas were infected with this disease, the first great apes affected by the new coronavirus. It was around this time that the zoo's chief curator, Nadine Lamberski, made the decision to find a vaccine for her great apes. “This is not the norm. In my career, I have not had access to an experimental vaccine so early in the process and I have not had such an overwhelming desire to want to use one, "Lamberski explained to the National Geographic magazine, which has advanced the news. This vaccine has been developed for cats and dogs, but in principle this is not a problem for great apes The vials with which the apes have been vaccinated come from the Zoetis veterinary laboratory, which began to develop these drugs as soon as it became known that a dog had been infected with covid as early as February 2020. This vaccine has been developed for dogs and cats, but in principle this is not a problem for great apes, since it is common to use drugs developed for pets with these primates because they are designed for the pathogen, not for the species. So in February, while they were being distracted with treats, they were prodding these nine animals. Among them is the orangutan Karen, which thus becomes a milestone in the history of veterinary science for the second time. In 1994, Karen was the first non-human primate to undergo open heart surgery and now, 27 years later, she is part of the first group of great apes vaccinated against COVID that has been reported so far. The vaccine had only been experimentally tested in dogs and cats. The reasons for vaccinating these animals are twofold. On the one hand, there is concern that the flow of the coronavirus between species (such as minks) ends up causing more dangerous mutations due to their lethality or contagion capacity. But above all because of the fear that this virus poses a threat to the conservation of the great apes, which are very threatened in themselves. The fact that the eight gorillas were infected shows that, due to their way of living in close-knit families, the spread of the coronavirus among their po[CENSORED]tions could be devastating in an endangered species. So far, contagion has been confirmed in big cats, such as tigers, lions, snow leopards and pumas, and in ferrets and minks, in addition to the aforementioned gorillas, domestic dogs and cats. The Zoetis laboratory ensures that the vaccine has proven its efficacy and safety in the latter, and that it works with the intention of tackling the problem of minks, which when infected have generated variants that have alarmed scientists to the point of ordering their extermination by millions in the farms dedicated to its exploitation.
