The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have released tips today on securing the software supply chain. This guidance is designed by the Enduring Security Framework (ESF) a public-private partnership that works to address threats to U.S. critical infrastructure and national security systems to serve as a collection of suggested practices for software developers. "Securing the Software Supply Chain for Developers was created to help developers achieve security through industry and government-evaluated recommendations," the Department of Defense's intelligence agency said. "Developers will find helpful guidance from NSA and partners on developing secure code, verifying third party components, hardening the build environment, and delivering the code. Until all DevOps are DevSecOps, the software development lifecycle will be at risk." The ESF will release two more advisories coinciding with the software supply chain lifecycle, with the other two parts in this series focusing on software suppliers and customers. You can find detailed information on how to develop secure code, verify third-party components, harden build environments, and deliver code securely in today's advisory. The guidance has been released after recent high-profile cyber attacks like the SolarWinds hack have highlighted weaknesses in the software supply chain that nation-state-backed threat groups can easily exploit. Following the snowball effect of the SolarWinds supply-chain attack that led to the compromise of multiple U.S. govt agencies after FireEye revealed its network was breached in December 2020, President Biden signed an executive order in May 2021 to modernize the country's defenses against cyberattacks. The White House released a new Federal strategy in January, pushing the U.S. government to adopt a "zero trust" security model. This was prompted by Biden's executive order and the NSA and Microsoft recommending this approach in February 2021 for large enterprises and critical networks (National Security Systems, Department of Defense, Defense Industrial Base). In May, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) also released updated guidance on how enterprises can better defend themselves from supply-chain attacks. A Microsoft report from October 2021 also revealed that the Russian-backed Nobelium threat group kept targeting the global I.T. supply after hacking SolarWinds, attacking 140 managed service providers (MSPs) and cloud service providers and breaching at least 14 since May 2021. Microsoft's findings demonstrated the software supply chain had become an increasingly po[CENSORED]r target for threat actors since it allows them to compromise a single product and impact numerous downstream companies that use it. The danger behind supply-chain attacks was also made evident in real-world scenarios multiple times since Russian threat actors compromised SolarWinds to infect its downstream customers, including by Kaseya's MSP software which was used to encrypt the systems of over a thousand companies worldwide and by how npm modules have been used to execute remote commands.

A new company is looking to do for B2B hardware sales what a growing number of companies have been doing in the consumer sphere, by making it easier for businesses to pay for equipment in installments through rentals and subscriptions. While companies such as Klarna and Affirm have been pushing payment services that help consumers procure goods without having to pay for everything up front, Berlin-based startup Topi launched out of stealth last December with $4.5 million in funding to do something similar for B2B transactions. At the time, Topi was somewhat vague in terms of what its actual product would be, but the company today announced its first product in partnership with German electronics retailer Gravis, and unveiled a fresh $45 million in equity and debt financing. -Hardware as a service: At its most basic level, Topi is selling a hardware-as-a-service business model, allowing merchants to rent out their equipment such as smartphones, printers, PC monitors, coffee machines, robotic arms, or whatever industry-specific machinery in which they specialize. While it’s true that many merchants offer financing options already that allow businesses to stagger their payments, this isn’t typically integrated directly into the checkout process and that, effectively, is what Topi is bringing to the table. The problem, ultimately, is that companies can spend thousands of dollars upfront on physical goods that are essential to their operations, leaving them with limited capital for other business-critical purchases. On top of that, products they buy might be outdated or obsolete in just a few years. In tandem, with businesses across the industrial spectrum tightening their purse strings due to economic pressures, merchants will be looking for new ways to encourage their customers to continue spending money, even if it means on slightly different terms. Topi essentially brings together the various components that a seller might need to offer hardware subscriptions, including insurance, logistics, and refinancing providers, so that merchants can easily build rentals into their existing online channels using Topi’s APIs. So, for example, an electronics retailer might offer a €1,000 MacBook Air for a monthly fee of €26.25 payable over three years with a full warranty included, after which the customer can decide to upgrade to the latest MacBook model, return the device or pay the remainder of the balance to own the laptop outright. In the future, Topi will also offer Klarna-style installment payment options for customers who know in advance that they want to own the product at the end. It’s worth noting that Topi also supports upfront purchases, so that a customer can decide to rent an iPhone at the checkout for a two-year period, while buying a laptop outright. Topi is pitched as a modular platform, so that merchants can pick and choose which elements they want they can select just monthly billing and credit checks, to the full shebang including refinancing partners and insurance. Additionally, while the Topi branding is prominent at checkout with the inaugural product, the company said that it plans to offer a white-labeled version that allows businesses to include their own logo.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed the opposition saying that action against the corrupt has caused “polarisation in national politics”. The war of words between the new ruling coalition in Bihar - headed by the Janata Dal (United) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal - and the now-opposition Bharatiya Janata Party was renewed Friday after chief minister Nitish Kumar hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his 'polarisation in national politics' remark. Speaking to reporters, Nitish laughed off the PM's statement and referred to a former prime minister, the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Nitish Kumar said he had done a lot of work when Vajpayee was the PM at the head of a BJP national government and was continuing to do a lot of work now in Bihar. "When Vajpayee was prime minister, I got the opportunity to work with him. He had taken care of everyone. Now, when I have got the opportunity to work in Bihar, I am doing the same. I have been working for several years, therefore if someone at the Centre says something, I don't pay any attention," he said with a smile on his face. Nitish Kumar - at loggerheads with the BJP since he walked out of an alliance that secured his chief minister's position in the 2020 election - also refuted claims of 'polarisation in politics'. "Nobody is shielding the corrupt. They (the BJP) should think about what's happening in other states," the chief minister said. Modi - who earlier today commissioned the country's first made-in-India aircraft carrier, the INS Vikrant - had launched a sharp verbal attack Thursday. Speaking outside the Cochin International Airport, he said action against corrupt people had led to a new polarisation in national politics, with some openly trying to save those facing charges. "I had said from the Red Fort on 15th August that the time has come to fight decisively against corruption. However, what we see is that as we take action against the corrupt persons, there has emerged a new polarisation in national politics," Modi said. Nitish Kumar's latest salvo at Modi comes after his meeting with Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) in Patna on Tuesday. The two held a joint press conference and threw blows at the centre, with KCR calling for a 'BJP-mukt Bharat (BJP-free India)'.

An elephant is hoisted into a transport vehicle at the Liwonde National Park southern Malawi, July 10 2022. In neighboring Zimbabwe, more than 2,500 wild animals are being moved from a southern reserve to one in the country's north. A helicopter herds thousands of impalas into an enclosure. A crane hoists sedated upside-down elephants into trailers. Hordes of rangers drive other animals into metal cages and a convoy of trucks starts a journey of about 700 kilometers (435 miles) to take the animals to their new home. Zimbabwe has begun moving more than 2,500 wild animals from a southern reserve to one in the country's north to rescue them from drought, as the ravages of climate change replace poaching as the biggest threat to wildlife. About 400 elephants, 2,000 impalas, 70 giraffes, 50 buffaloes, 50 wildebeest, 50 zebras, 50 elands, 10 lions and a pack of 10 wild dogs are among the animals being moved from Zimbabwe's Save Valley Conservancy to three conservancies in the north Sapi, Matusadonha and Chizarira in one of southern Africa's biggest live animal capture and translocation exercises. "Project Rewild Zambezi," as the operation is called, is moving the animals to an area in the Zambezi River valley to rebuild the wildlife po[CENSORED]tions there. It's the first time in 60 years that Zimbabwe has embarked on such a mass internal movement of wildlife. Between 1958 and 1964, when the country was white-minority-ruled Rhodesia, more than 5,000 animals were moved in what was called "Operation Noah." That operation rescued wildlife from the rising water caused by the construction of a massive hydro-electric dam on the Zambezi River that created one of the world's largest man-made lakes, Lake Kariba. This time it's the lack of water that has made it necessary to move wildlife as their habitat has become parched by prolonged drought, said Tinashe Farawo, spokesman for the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. The parks agency issued permits to allow the animals to be moved to avert "a disaster from happening," said Farawo. "We are doing this to relieve pressure. For years we have fought poaching and just as we are winning that war, climate change has emerged as the biggest threat to our wildlife," Farawo told The Associated Press. "Many of our parks are becoming overpo[CENSORED]ted and there is little water or food. The animals end up destroying their own habitat, they become a danger unto themselves and they encroach neighboring human settlements for food resulting in incessant conflict," he said.

A restaurant in Markham, Ont. at the centre of a mass poisoning that sent several people to hospital over the weekend is set to reopen on Wednesday. Delight Restaurant & BBQ, located at Castlemore Avenue and Markham Road, made headlines earlier this week after 12 people who dined at the establishment became seriously ill, four of whom were admitted to intensive care. Dr. Barry Pakes, York Region’s Medical Officer of Health, previously told CP24 he believed the patrons were poisoned by a spice contaminated with aconite – a plant-based toxin that can be deadly in small doses. “From a public health perspective, now that we’ve identified what we think was the source of the toxin, which was a spice that was in a chicken dish, there isn’t any public health reason for it not to open,” Pakes said in an interview Wednesday. - What is aconite poisoning? Toronto doctors explain “That said of course, we’ve got our investigators going in today just to make sure, from an infection prevention and control and general food safety perspective that the restaurant is exactly where it needs to be.” Link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/beta.ctvnews.ca/local/toronto/2022/8/31/1_6049805.amp.html

DH2 - It has a good flow and rhythm in this song

DH 1 - Masterpiece and Iconic song

Best Buy posted lower fiscal second-quarter profits and sales as the nation's largest consumer electronics chain struggled with weakening consumer demand for gadgets and high costs that rippled through its supply chain. But the results, announced on Tuesday, were above analysts' expectations. That pushed shares up more than 2% higher in early afternoon trading. Best Buy's sales during the height of the pandemic were fueled by oversized spending from shoppers who were splurging on gadgets to help them work from home or help their kids with virtual learning. Last year, spending also got a boost from government stimulus support. So like many retailers, Best Buy entered the year expecting that financial results would be weaker than in 2021 as stimulus disappeared and shoppers would brace more normal pre-pandemic lifestyles. But soaring prices on necessities like food and gas have forced families to become more cautious. They are doing without new clothing, electronics, furniture and almost everything else that is not absolutely necessary. And spending habits have shifted faster this year than anyone expected. After being cooped up at home during the pandemic, Americans seemed to shift almost overnight to spending on dinners out, movies and concerts, and travel. That has also caused companies to step up discounting to get rid of excess inventory as they head to the critical fall and holiday seasons. As a result, that took a toll on businesses across all types of retailers from Target to Macy’s. “There has never been a time like this," said Best Buy CEO Corie Barry answering a reporter's question about what feels different now. “We have never seen the whipsaw of consumer behaviors fueled by amazing amount of government stimulus intercepted by geopolitical unrest that is unlikely anything we have seen in decades." Barry said that inflationary pressures on food, rent and gas are forcing shoppers to trade down to lower prices in certain categories like TVs. However, when it comes to mobile phones, they're replacing them with the same or similar models they had. They're also focused on deals, she added. Barry noted that inventory for the second quarter was actually down 6% from the same year-ago period. But it is up roughly 16% from pre-pandemic fiscal 2020. Barry told reporters on a media call Tuesday that the company has healthy inventory levels, but it's competing with excess inventory across the retail industry. That aggressive industrywide discounting pressured Best Buy to also cut prices and shoppers will see discounts starting earlier for the holiday shopping season. Higher supply-chain costs and lower margins related with its membership program also ate into its profit rate during the quarter. Minneapolis-based Best Buy warned in July that sales would fall more than expected. It had forecast this year’s sales at stores opened at least a year to decline 11%, much steeper than the 3% to 6% drop it originally forecast in May. For the fiscal second quarter, it said in July that comparable sales would be down 13%. Best Buy reported that net income fell 60% to $306 million, or $1.35 per share, for the three-month period ended July 30. That compares with $734 million, or $2.90 per share, in the year-ago period. Revenue dropped 13% to $10.33 billion. Analyst were expecting $1.27 per share on sales of $10.27 billion, according to FactSet. Comparable sales sales in stores open at least a year dropped 12.1% compared to a 19.6% increase in the year-ago period. Domestic gross profit rate was 22.0% versus 23.7% last year in part because the company stepped up discounts to move inventory.

For the fiscal second quarter, it said in July that comparable sales would be down 13%. For the year, Best Buy is sticking to its previous forecast for an 11% drop in comparable sales. Looking ahead to the fiscal third quarter, it expects that comparable sales will decline slightly more than the 12.1% decline it reported in the fiscal second quarter. Shares rose $1.66 to $75.36 in early afternoon trading. https://www.sootoday.com/national-business/best-buy-q2-results-fall-amid-softening-demand-for-gadgets-5758017

Bamboozles Adventure World in Bishop Auckland has made a public plea to the parents visiting their barnyard attraction after an incident which saw children climbing into the animals pens. The youngsters were then caught chasing the animals and throwing balls at them. The entertainment centre has said that this sort of behaviour "will not be tolerated" and that any people found to harm the animals in their care would be reported. They were shocked that some parents had even stood back and watched as their children climbed over the fences to chase the livestock. In a public post on Facebook, the company said: "A door code is in use to ensure that children are accompanied by an adult when accessing the barnyard. However, despite our regular checks it helps when adults actually supervise their own children." The adventure world is a po[CENSORED]r attraction for families to take their little ones, especilIaly during the summer holidays. The attractions boasts a small flock of animals including pigs, alpacas, goats and bunnies which can be enjoyed in the barnyard area. Customers of the venue were outraged to hear that children had been letting themselves into the animals pens and that parents hadn't stopped them. One individual called the incident "absolutely disgraceful." Many others expressed concern for the flock, with one saying: "I hope the animals didn't get hurt." CCTV is in operation at the attraction. Staff at Bamboozles Adventure World have said that these exploits won't be overlooked and have warned individuals who do try to harm the animals that they 'will be prosecuted.' Some patrons have hit out at the parents who allowed their children to jump into the pens, throwing balls and chasing the live stock. One person said: "I would have named and shamed the useless parents and barred them. Imagine what happens in their own homes. Poor little animals, hope they are ok. Zero respect for anything." The full facebook post reads: "Not Happy. Following today's incident of children climbing over the fences into the animals fields... throwing balls at them and chasing them...THIS WILL NOT BE TOLLERATED!!! "And yes... parents stood back to watch. Any persons found to harm the animals will be prosecuted. CCTV is also in operation.

A po[CENSORED]r Wisconsin TV news anchor and former college basketball star has been found dead at the age of 27 after apparently taking her own life. Neena Pacholke, a former point guard for the University of South Florida’s women’s basketball team and morning news anchor at News 9 WAOW, was found dead during a welfare check by police at her home in Wausau on Saturday, according to TMZ. Her sister, Kaitlynn Pacholke, told The Tampa Bay Times she died of suicide. “My sister was by far the happiest person I thought I knew,” she was quoted saying, adding that Neena was engaged to be married and “was loved by everybody.” “Sometimes you just don’t know what people are going through, no matter how much you think you know someone.... My sister had access to every resource you could imagine,” she was quoted saying. “She just radiated love and positivity, and she just cared so much about pouring into other people, and always put other people first,” Kaitlynn Pacholke said. “I think she did that at the expense of not caring about herself.” Pacholke’s colleagues at the news station where she’d worked since 2017 expressed shock over her sudden passing. “The entire team here at News 9 are absolutely devastated by the loss as we know so many others are as well. Neena loved this community and the people who lived here. She was a kind person with a big heart and a contagious smile and we will miss her greatly,” the news station said in a statement. “I have never met anyone in my entire life that is more loved than this girl,” her co-anchor, Brendan Mackey, wrote in a tribute on Facebook. “Every day she made people smile, whether that was through a tv screen or just being an incredible friend,” he said, calling her “the brightest light in the room.” The University of South Florida Bulls, where Pacholke had played for three seasons, said in a statement that they were “heartbroken” to learn of her death, with Head Coach Jose Fernandez saying the team was “devastated and deeply saddened.” If you or a loved one are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.

AEW’s first console game is coming in 2023 from Yuke’s and THQ Nordic and we got our first look at a full match in the game today. Kenny Omega vs. Adam Cole was shown off alongside entrances – which do appear streamlined and very much like what TNA Impact had where you don’t get the full intro. William Regal shows up for tutorial information and there is a light and strong strike setup and light and strong grapple ala what Yuke’s used for WWE Day of Reckoning and Wrestle Kingdom 1 and 2 on the PS2. Gameplay has a very smooth feel to it, just like DoR and like No Mercy, there are big replays for moves that manage to avoid getting in the way of the action and still keep the flow of the action intact. No Mercy allowed players to have a replay and not lose track of where they are in the ring, while Yuke’s GC games did get a bit disorienting. Kenny Omega’s One Winged Angel is in and looks great, and the avalanche version of it looks even better. During the event, it was revealed that the game will have over 40 weapons and just like AEW TV, there are lower-third graphics showing off win/loss records. AEW Fight Forever is not in a final form yet, but what’s been shown feels very much like a modernized No Mercy with a Yuke’s GC-era level of gameplay speed. The foundation looks solid and we’ll get an even better idea of how good everything is when more footage comes out of things like different match types and maybe even a playable demo down the road.

Conservative government accused of "hiding away" as millions prepare for "catastrophe". Not a single minister appeared on national TV or radio on Friday morning to defend the government, as the public learned their energy bills are set to rise by 80%. At 7am the energy regulator Ofgem announced a change in the price cap that will see the average household’s yearly bill rise from £1,971 to £3,549 from October. The hike has been described as a “catastrophe” amid warnings it will lead to people dying during the winter. On a typical weekday a minister tours TV and radio stations between 7am and 9am to promote and defend government policy, as well as to be grilled on the top stories of the day. The media round usually sees the minister appear on Sky News, BBC Breakfast, ITV’s GMB, BBC Radio 4′s Today programme, LBC and others. It is highly unusual for all the main broadcasters to not feature a representative from the government.BBC Breakfast said it had asked the government to provide a minister to interview but was told no one was “available”. The Today programme also noted that “no UK government ministers have been available for interview this morning by us or by other breakfast news programmes”. Labour shadow mental heath minister Rosena Allin-Khan said the lack of interviews was “shameful”. “On a day where people across Britain are facing unimaginable worry, not a single Conservative government minister did media interviews this morning,” she said. “Millions are worrying about bills, the government should be reassuring people - not hiding away.” Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, took part in morning broadcast interviews on behalf of labour. Boris Johnson, who will be replaced by Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak as prime minister on September 6, has been accused of presiding over a “zombie government” since the Conservative Party ousted him. The outgoing PM had two holidays in August despite growing fears about the cost of living crisis. Truss, the frontrunner in the contest, said this morning she would “ensure people get the support needed”, but did not offer specifics. Money expert Martin Lewis, who did appear on TV this morning, warned there needed to be “urgent further government intervention”. “I’ve been accused of catastrophizing this situation, and the reason I’ve done that is because this is a genuine, social and financial catastrophe that is putting lives at risk. It should have been done far earlier,” he told GMB. “I hope and I pray, whomever our new Prime Minister is, they have the will to do something because if they don’t, people will die this winter due to these energy price hikes.” Ofgem CEO Jonathan Brearley said it was “clear” that the new prime minister will need to “act further”. “We are working with ministers, consumer groups and industry on a set of options for the incoming prime minister that will require urgent action.” Simon Francis, co-ordinator of the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, said: “Today’s Ofgem price hike is like a dagger to the heart of millions of people up and down the country. “As a result of the decision, parents will be unable to feed their children, the sick and elderly will be condemned to worsening health, disabled people will go without vital medical equipment and households will be forced into poverty for the first time in generations. “All the solutions lie at the Westminster Government’s door, yet it is silent in the face of this looming disaster.” Energy UK, which represents suppliers, said the charges its members will be forced to pass on to households will be “simply unaffordable”. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ministers-not-available-for-interview-as-energy-bills-set-to-rise-by-80_uk_63087af2e4b065bfc4ada308

Beagles are in the news. Last fall, Republican politicians, including Rep. Madison Cawthorn (N.C.), attacked Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, by seeking to tie him to supposedly torturous experiments involving the breed. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) posted a photo on Twitter of former president Donald Trump holding a beagle with the disconcerting caption, “Beagle Lives Matter.” Then, more recently, 4,000 beagle dogs were released from the facilities of contract research company Envigo after investigations found violations of federal animal welfare regulations. There is probably one available now at your local animal rescue, which will surely receive more attention now that Prince Harry and Meghan adopted one of them. Much of the recent attention has been driven by activist organizations seeking to make the cute little hounds into icons of animal experimentation, to undermine public support for federal spending on animal research. But, the beagle news also raises the question: Why are beagles used for experimentation? Humans and dogs, as any pet owner will tell you, are extremely alike. Many of our basic biological systems are similar: Dogs get cancers like ours and respond to some pharmaceuticals like we do. Beagles, a medium-sized and friendly breed, are easy to work with and cheap to feed, making them useful laboratory animals. But the full answer requires a longer historical view. In the first decades of the 20th century, scientists began to worry about the reliability of their laboratory animals. Dogs had long been used for experiments, especially in cardiology and physiology, because their circulatory systems are parallel to ours. But the dogs that researchers had access to were neither consistent nor even always healthy. Strays were often picked up in fields or purchased from city pounds, and scientists rarely knew exactly what they were getting. What was needed, they argued, was a “standard” or “normal” dog. There were a number of candidates. Researchers at Columbia University proposed the Irish terrier in the 1930s, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration briefly bred the dogs for toxicity testing. But terriers didn’t stick their small beards required tiresome maintenance, and advocates failed to assemble funding for a centralized terrier colony. Others proposed airedales or beagles, yet there were few decisive arguments favoring one above the rest. Scientists typically recommended breeds they knew best, generating a stew of competing personal preferences. Outside of the walls of the laboratory, however, American dog culture was changing and altering the fates of many breeds. Beagles were always common dogs, ever since their importation from England in the late 19th century, but they experienced a steady climb in po[CENSORED]rity as dog ownership exploded in the 1930s and ’40s. In 1950, Americans fell in love with Snoopy, a new beagle character in the Peanuts comic. Four years later, the American Kennel Club listed it as the most po[CENSORED]r breed in the country. Such po[CENSORED]rity extended into science as well. In 1950, the Atomic Energy Commission launched the most expansive beagle study ever conducted in a multi-sited investigation into radiation and longevity, occasioned by the U.S. detonation of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Short-term radiation effects were clear and horrific, but long-term consequences from lower doses were less obvious. Because rats tended to die of pneumonia before they developed cancers, a bigger and longer-living test animal was needed. America’s nuclear scientists settled on the dog and chose beagles, which were bred in most states and thus easy to purchase. From 1950 until the early 1980s, large-scale beagle radiobiology studies were conducted across the country: at the University of California at Davis, the University of Utah, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Rochester and more. The foundations of much of what we know about the health effects of radiation lie in this work. But so does much of what we know about beagles and dogs more broadly. As it turned out, little basic data about canine health even existed in 1950. American veterinarians were only just starting to focus on domestic pets, rather than agricultural animals. The majority of privately owned dogs died young hit by cars or felled by undiagnosed health issues. So along with studying radiation, researchers such as Allen C. Andersen, at Davis, set out to answer key questions, such as: How long can a beagle live? (More than 17 years.) How many dogs should live together in cages? (Two seemed to be the sweet spot.) What were their nutritional requirements? Their psychological needs? Supported by the new Research Laboratory for the Diseases of Dogs at Cornell University, these researchers generated huge quantities of information about beagles, culminating in the publication of Andersen’s “The Beagle as an Experimental Dog” in 1970. But radiobiologists weren’t alone. Pharmaceutical researchers and the FDA also began prominently favoring beagles. The FDA’s toxicity testing guidelines from 1955 noted that the agency used beagles for internal appraisals but stopped short of formally endorsing the breed. That changed in the early 1960s after researchers realized that thalidomide, a po[CENSORED]r morning sickness medication used by pregnant women, could cause serious birth defects in their children. These revelations convinced legislators and regulators of the need for stronger drug testing standards. The result was the 1962 Kefauver-Harris Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which required demonstrations of drug efficacy and established the framework for today’s “gold standard” of random clinical trials. It also forced the FDA to explicitly advise companies on how to test drugs, including using dogs (or monkeys) as the step between rodent tests and human trials. Arnold Lehman, director of the FDA’s Division of Pharmacology, clarified in 1963 that when the FDA said “dog,” it basically meant “beagle.” Because the large American market was increasingly key to the success of drugs anywhere, regulators around the world mirrored the FDA’s beagle recommendation, and pharmaceutical companies from Germany to Japan established their own colonies of charming little black and tan hounds. Today, there are for-profit scientific beagle breeders in the United States, England, Japan, China and more. This history reminds us how much we owe to these dogs, countless thousands who have lived, howled and often suffered for science. Their sacrifices helped unveil secrets of the atom, demonstrate that cigarettes cause cancer, reveal new techniques for periodontal surgery and much more. We also know more about dogs and how to care for them. Many vaccines, including for rabies, parvo and canine hepatitis, relied on beagle research. So too did modern canine nutritional guidelines and medications such as Anipryl, which treats Alzheimer’s-like conditions in dogs. Our understanding of how dogs live was fundamentally transformed thanks to beagles. But today, a science without beagles appears increasingly likely. Many I spoke with during the course of my research for a book on the history of the use of beagles in scientific research, especially within activist communities, predict an end to their use within one or two decades. Whether they are correct remains to be seen, but understanding our debt to beagles and their role in over a century of scientific discovery is as vital as ever. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/opinions-beagles-are-in-the-news-after-decades-as-key-players-in-medical-research/ar-AA117xl8
