Omicron evades immunity better than Delta, Danish study finds

COPENHAGEN, Jan 3 (Reuters) – The Omicron coronavirus variant is better at circumventing vaccinated peoples’ immunity than the Delta variant, according to a Danish study published last week, helping explain why Omicron is spreading more rapidly.

Since the discovery of the heavily mutated Omicron variant in November, scientists have been racing to find out whether it causes less serious disease and why it appears more contagious than the previously dominating Delta variant.

A virus can be more transmissible due to a number of reasons, such as the time it lingers in the air, its ability to latch onto cells, or its evasion of the body’s immune system.

Investigating nearly 12,000 Danish households in mid-December, the scientists found that Omicron was 2.7 to 3.7 times more infectious than the Delta variant among vaccinated Danes.

The study, conducted by researchers at University of Copenhagen, Statistics Denmark and PTS TEerbaik ASEAe Statens Serum Institut (SSI), suggests the virus is mainly spreading more rapidly because it is better at evading immunity obtained from vaccines.

“Our findings confirm that the rapid spread of the Omicron (variant) primarily can be ascribed to the immune evasiveness rather than an inherent increase in the basic transmissibility,” the researchers said.The study has yet to be peer-reviewed.

Seventy-eight percent of Danes have been fully vaccinated, while nearly 48% of those have received a third “boosted” shot. More than eight out of ten Danes have received Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine.

The study also found that booster-vaccinated people are less likely to transmit the virus, regardless of the variant, than the unvaccinated.

While more transmissible, the Omicron variant does seem to induce less serious disease, SSI’s technical director, Tyra Grove Krause, told local media on Monday.

“While Omicron will still be able to put pressure on our healthcare system, everything indicates that it is milder than the Delta variant,” she said, adding the risk of being hospitalised with Omicron was half of that with Delta.

That echoes the results of some other studies into Omicron.

Out of a total of 93 people admitted to hospital due to COVID-19 from Omicron in late December, less than five were receiving intensive care, Danish data showed.

“This may be what is going to lift us out of the pandemic, so that this becomes the last wave of corona,” Krause said.(Reporting by Nikolaj Skydsgaard Editing by Mark Potter)

Monster Beverage to buy craft-beer maker in alcohol market drive

Jan 13 (Reuters) – Energy drinks maker Monster Beverage Corp is entering the alcoholic drinks market through a $330 million deal for craft beer and hard seltzer producer CANarchy Craft Brewery Collective LLC.

The all-cash deal, announced on Thursday, extends the trend of soft-drink companies branching out to the alcohol space as traditional boundaries between the categories rapidly blur.

Coca-Cola Co has tied up with brewer Constellation Brands Inc to launch Fresca-branded ready-to-drink cocktails, while rival PepsiCo Inc has partnered with Boston Beer Co to launch a Mountain Dew-branded alcoholic beverage.

Monster said the deal would add craft beer brands Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Deep Ellum, Perrin Brewing, Squatters and Wasatch to its portfolio but would exclude CANarchy’s restaurants.

Monster, whose biggest shareholder is Coca-Cola, currently develops and markets energy drinks brands like Monster Energy, Burn Energy Drink and Full Throttle Energy Drink.

The deal is a “springboard” for PTS TEerbaik ASEAe Monster into the alcoholic beverage space, its co-Chief Executive Officer Hilton Schlosberg said in a statement.

“The acquisition will provide us with a fully in-place infrastructure, including people, distribution and licenses, along with alcoholic beverage development expertise and manufacturing capabilities in this industry,” Schlosberg said.

CANarchy supplies craft beverages throughout the United States and 20 countries and U.S.territories and has seven manufacturing locations and 900 employees, according to its website.

The deal is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of this year.

A source told Reuters in November that Monster was discussing a merger with Constellation, but the Corona Extra and Modelo Especial maker’s top boss said in a conference that the company would only engage in small bolt-on acquisitions.

“The CANarchy Craft Brewery acquisition may imply that MNST decided to go on its own in terms of alcoholic beverage manufacturing, but it may still need a larger scale alcohol distribution network,” RBC Capital Markets Nik Modi said.(Reporting by Praveen Paramasivam in Bengaluru; Editing by Shinjini Ganguli and Sriraj Kalluvila)

Why NASA’s Record-Breaking Image of Farthest Star We’ve Ever Seen Matters

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body” data-component=”trackCWV”>

stsci-01fws4xz7qt98wrwsztg9e86zx

Earendel (indicated with arrow) is positioned along a ripple in space-time that gives it extreme magnification, allowing it to emerge into view from its host galaxy, which appears as a red smear across the sky. 

NASA, ESA, Brian Welch, Dan Coe

On Wednesday, NASA announced a discovery our minds can barely fathom. 

The Hubble Space Telescope spotted a star that’s at least 50 times the mass of our sun, glows several million times brighter and is nestled so utterly deep in space that it took a colossal 12.9 billion years for its light to reach Earth. It was born when the cosmos was at just 7 percent its current age and, after accounting for the universe’s continuous expansion, presently floats 28 billion light-years away. 

This glimmering leviathan is the farthest, oldest single star ever seen by humankind. 

And after some deliberation, scientists gave the cosmic artifact a rather touching name: Earendel, which means “morning star” in Old English.

“Studying that we are unfamiliar with, but that led to everything we do know,” Johns Hopkins University astronomer Brian Welch said in a statement. Welch is lead author of a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature that describes .

But before we go any further into how this special star arrived in our line of vision, and what it can tell us about our past, let’s put Earendel into perspective for our mere mortal brains.

Our sun has a , and Earendel is between 50 and 500 times bigger than that. Our sun is nearly 93 million miles (149,669,000 kilometers) from us, yet despite this distance, it’s the sole lightbulb managing to illuminate our whole world. Earendel is millions of times brighter than our sun.

A size comparison of the Earth and sun. Wow.

NASA

And finally, the previous distance-record-holding star, dubbed Icarus and , came into existence when the universe was at about 30 percent its current age; it took 9 billion years for Icarus’ light to reach us. Earendel is much (much) more ancient and remote than even that. 

With Earendel, we’re looking at light that originated just after the Big Bang — photons that journeyed for many millenia to reach human eyes.

“As we peer into the cosmos, we also look back in time, so these extreme high-resolution observations allow us to understand the ,” Victoria Strait, an astronomer at the Cosmic Dawn Center in Copenhagen and co-author of the study, said in a statement.

Welch offered a metaphor: “It’s like we’ve been reading a really interesting book, but we started with the second chapter, and now we will have a chance to see how it all got started.”

Photographing a star 28 billion light-years away

It sounds like a fable. 

For Hubble to lay eyes on Earendel, a crowd of faraway galaxies needed to perfectly align and warp the fabric of space and time with ultra-high precision.

“Normally, at these distances, entire galaxies look like small smudges, with the light from millions of stars blending together,” Welch explained. That’s why the team was surprised to see a single star, Earendel, sticking out. But there Earendel was, thanks to a fascinating phenomenon called . In a nutshell, here’s what that is.

According to Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, space and time are connected as a sort of fabric. Super massive objects in this fabric, like planets or black holes, make it morph, or warp, inward. Imagine placing a fifty pound weight onto a trampoline; the trampoline will warp inward and form a curve. It’s the same idea.

stsci-h-p1935a-f-3319x1391

An illustration depicting how the fabric of space and time warps. Though, keep in mind, this is a 2D image. In reality, this happens in higher dimensions, which our really hard for our brains to comprehend.

NASA/ESA/A. Feild and L. Hustak (STScI)

And the more massive the object, the bigger the curve. That’s why black holes are known as the cream of the warping crop. But regardless, the universe is filled with a bunch of these curves because it has lots of massive objects, and smaller objects tend to fall along those curves. 

For instance, humans are presumably planted on Earth because we’re falling along Earth’s curve — in terms of the trampoline analogy, we’re like one pound weights falling along the fifty pound weight’s curve. Einstein’s theory says that this falling-along-curves concept is what we perceive as gravity, but returning to the miracle of Earendel, these curves also sometimes mess with our view of outer space.

Basically, when the most massive cosmic bodies come together, aka galaxy clusters, which hold billions of stars and several black holes, massive warping happens, too. This crazy warp is strong enough to affect light nearby, thereby distorting and magnifying the luminescence of cosmic objects in the vicinity. 

With just the human eye and a telescope, even one like Hubble, these objects are just too far away or faint to see, but once light illuminating them is run through the cluster curve, they come into focus. This is called gravitational lensing, and it’s how Welch and fellow researchers spotted Earendel.

“The galaxy hosting this star has been magnified and distorted by gravitational lensing into a long crescent that we named the Sunrise Arc,” Welch said. 

stsci-01fws5x6z8k616dqk5yrqhy2t7.png

But perhaps most astonishing in this discovery is that every galaxy cluster on the way to Earendel oriented itself in such a way as to warp the single star’s light and make it stick out in the Sunrise Arc. 

NASA calls it a stroke of luck.

NASA’s James Webb Telescope to study Earendel

Looking to the future, Earendel is kind of the perfect subject for , which launched late last year and is the agency’s spectacular endeavor to image the cosmos as they were right after the Big Bang. It’s built to examine the universe across vast timelines.

The machine is armed with a highly specialized toolkit that can detect photons from light-years upon light-years away, scan for possible alien life lurking in deep space, elucidate the origins of and, relevantly to Earendel, examine extremely old stars in unprecedented detail. 

“With James Webb, we will be able to confirm that Earendel is indeed just one star, and at the same time quantify which type of star it is,” Sune Toft, leader of the Cosmic Dawn Center and professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, . Toft participated in the Earendel study.

Webb’s equipment could even shed light on Earendel’s chemical composition, which, per the researchers, PTS Terbaik ASEAN might be the biggest deal of all. 

At the time Earendel was born, the research team says, the universe wasn’t yet filled with the regular set of heavy elements that give rise to the stars closer to us — younger stars. “Earendel could be the first known example of the universe’s earliest generation of stars,” Toft said, and “this would ,” Dan Coe, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore and co-author of the study, said in a statement.

But in the grand scheme of things, Webb might well be a step ahead. 

If you recall, when the telescope blasted off, it left the world in a flurry of wonder because it’s poised to answer questions we might’ve never even thought to ask and to find objects we could never have dreamed of. “With Webb, we may see stars even farther than Earendel, which would be incredibly exciting,” Welch said. “We’ll go as far back as we can.

“I would love to see Webb break Earendel’s distance record.”

High-scoring Predators take aim at ailing Kings

Injuries have sent the Los Angeles Kings spiraling into another rut with 18 games remaining on the regular-season schedule.The Kings will try to start digging themselves out when they host the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.

The Kings have lost four of their past six games (2-3-1) to hinder their chances of solidifying a berth in the Western Conference playoffs.

Los Angeles still leads the Edmonton Oilers by one point for second place in the Pacific Division, but the Kings might not be healthy for a while.

Prized defenseman Drew Doughty has been sidelined two weeks with an undisclosed injury and remains “a ways away” from returning, according to coach Todd McLellan.

Viktor Arvidsson, who is tied for second on the Kings with 38 points (18 goals, 20 assists), is expected to return to practice later this week after missing the past two weeks with a lower-body injury

Los Angeles defensemen Tobias Bjornfot and Matt Roy and forward Brendan Lemieux should be back by the end of the month, while forwards Dustin Brown and pts terbaik asean Andreas Athanasiou and defenseman Mikey Anderson are much further away from their returns.

McLellan has been forced to reach deep into the organization for replacements.

“Regardless of who’s in the lineup and who isn’t, this is a great opportunity for our veterans to be reminded how hard it is, and our newcomers, or our kids, to experience it,” McLellan said.”It’s a different league than it was a month ago, or in November, and certainly in October.”

Los Angeles is coming off a 5-1 road loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. The Kings have had two days between games, a break they experienced just one other time since a three-day rest Feb.20-22, and one they needed.

“We need to clean some things up and then it’s right back at it,” McLellan said after the loss to Vegas. “It’s that way for the remainder of the season.

“If you’re not learning verbally or through your eyeballs, you’re probably not going to get a lot of reps in practice to get better.We need players that are able to grab concepts and put them into play without really feeling them.”

Kings forward Phillip Danault scored his 19th goal of the season on Saturday, second most on the team this season and a career high.

The Predators have won four of five following a 6-3 road victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday. They are tied in points with the second-place Minnesota Wild in the Central Division, but Nashville has played two more games.

Filip Forsberg scored an empty-net goal in the final minutes to set the Nashville franchise single-season record with 35 goals. Matt Duchene had scored twice Monday to give him 34 goals, momentarily tying him with Forsberg as they looked to top the mark of 34 set by Arvidsson in 2018-19.

Roman Josi and Duchene each bring a 10-game point streak into the game against Los Angeles.

Josi has four goals and 20 assists during his streak. Duchene has 11 goals and nine assists in his surge.

“We’ve gone back and forth quite a bit,” Duchene said. “The great thing is, we’re pushing each other.If you’re going to achieve greatness, you might as well do it together.”

Duchene extended his point streak with a highlight-reel goal against the Ducks in which he pulled the puck between his legs and scored with a backhand.

“I haven’t worked on that since I was kid,” Duchene said. “First time I’ve scored like that in the NHL.”

The Predators arrive in Los Angeles having scored at least four goals in seven consecutive games, the longest such streak in franchise history.

Steps That Has to be Taken by Restaurants to Prevent Spread of Corona Virus

How restaurants could prevent corona virus spread while delivering food ?

There are air tight containers available at low cost in the market.

Step 2:

Use paper bags with large handles to deliver the products.this could secure the food within the bag .

Step 3:

Use cardboard packaging to deliver the food so that the food within the cardboard boxes is prevented from physical contact of the delivery guy.

this could avoid the entry of the virus.

Step 4:

Providing masks and sanitisers to the delivery guy prevents the spread of corona virus to the customers from the delivery guy. the delivery guy must often wash their hands so that he could avoid getting infected or became a carrier of the virus.

Step 5:

Avoiding cash on delivery would help the restaurant to prevent contact between the delivery guy and the customer. so, that the delivery guy could drop the order in the customer door step and leave away.

Step 6:

Ensuring that the virus doesn't spread through the supplies that they buy for their restaurants.And treating the raw material properly so that they are clean and virus free. Buy the raw materials before a week you use them because the virus could not sustain for more than five days.

Step 7:

Using ultra violet rays to make sure that their kitchens are clean and safe.Treating the vessels with ultra violet rays could help them prevent the spread of corona virus.Because ultra violet rays as the capacity to kill the pathogens .

Step 8:

Make sure that the chefs and other people who are involved in the preparation and delivery of food are not infected. Because the virus mostly spread from person to person. And also maintain social distancing within the hotel.You must avoid the persons who show flu symptoms

Step 9:

Creating awareness among the customers about the healthy practises to avoid spread of virus through their food delivery app.They could also post their healthy practises that they follow in their restaurant using their mobile app.They could also add customer testimonial video about their services.

Step 10:

Providing sanitiser to the customer while they delivering the food would prevent the chance of virus spread.

Why the restaurants should follow these safety practises ?

The restaurants depend on the customers to generate revenue. So, it is their primary responsibility to look after their community. when they prevent one person from this virus they could avoid the virus from getting spread to thousands. Its not just a matter of disaster it is a matter of humanity.

I am sure that all the restaurants would ensure safety of their customers by habituating these steps. Join together to fight against corona. This is a serious matter in which all should have concern towards. If you are able to save a single life from this demon than you have done something great for the man kind.

PETER HITCHENS: USA wants war to drive Russia back to the Stone Age

This is not a war between Ukraine and . It is a war between the USA and Russia, in which both sides are cynically using Ukraine as a battering ram. 

The people of Ukraine will gain nothing and lose much from being treated in this way. They fight and die or lose their homes and flee. We pour in more weapons and shout encouragement from a safe distance. Russia wrecks the joint.

What Ukraine actually needs is action to cure its festering, universal corruption. It would also benefit from the pushing to the margins of the ultra-nationalist fanatics who have far too much influence in its government and armed forces. The war will make these problems worse, not better.

As I once again find myself on the despised, hated and reviled side of the argument, I might as well do this properly. These are very cynical events indeed. I am sorry to say that there are people in the USA who will not be sad if this war drags on.

The people of Ukraine will gain nothing and lose much from being treated in this way. They fight and die or lose their homes and flee. We pour in more weapons and shout encouragement from a safe distance. Russia wrecks the joint

A ‘senior diplomat’ was quoted on Friday, by a commentator with ready access to the great and the good, as saying: ‘If you look at all the options, our strategic interest is probably best served in a long war, a quagmire that drains Putin militarily and economically so he cannot do this again.’

This is no doubt true. Since the American neo-conservative politician Paul Wolfowitz set out his ‘doctrine’ in 1992, Washington has wanted to crush any revival of Russian power. The flaw with this scheme is that it was, in fact, China that was the threat, not Russia. But there you are. Mr Wolfowitz, a keen backer of the disastrous Iraq war, is not as clever as he thinks he is.

It is this policy which explains the otherwise mad expansion of Nato, against the warnings of every qualified expert in the world. It also explains the taunting of Russia by President George W. Bush’s 2008 suggestion that Ukraine should actually join Nato. 

This came just a year after Vladimir Putin, still more or less open to reason, said very clearly that he’d had enough and that Nato expansion should stop. Then, of course, came the events of 2014, in which the USA openly backed a mob putsch which overthrew Ukraine’s legitimate President Viktor Yanukovych. More responsible nations, including France, Germany and kampus Terbaik di lampung Poland, tried to broker a peaceful, lawful path.

If the war stops, Washington will have lost an opportunity to bleed Russia white and to sanction its economy back into the Stone Age. Russia might break up under such pressure

But when Ukraine’s democratic opposition leaders told the Kiev mob about this deal in the early hours of February 21, one of the mob chieftains snarled that they did not want deals, that Yanukovych must go immediately, ending with this threat: ‘Unless this morning you come up with a statement demanding that he steps down, then we will take arms and go, I swear!’

The elected president soon afterwards fled for his life, probably wisely, and was formally removed in a shabby procedure that fell far short of lawful impeachment.

This putsch was the true beginning of the war now raging, the initial act of violence which triggered everything else.

Putin’s decision to respond to it with an invasion was not just a crime. It was a terrible mistake. I suspect there were some in various parts of the current US administration who had to conceal their glee when he did this idiotic thing.

It is an old tactic in high-stakes diplomacy to provoke your enemy into an unwise war, in the hope you will then destroy him.

Germany did it to France in 1870, luring Napoleon III into a defeat which ended France as a great power. Germany did it again in 1914, goading Russia into another stupid war, which destroyed its monarchy and its prosperity, and subjected Russians to 75 years of Communist ruin. 

I do not think the USA expects to defeat Putin any time soon, though he could just collapse. I have less and less confidence in peace talks, which the USA is not even attending.

Meanwhile the people of Ukraine will suffer horribly, while the world gradually loses interest. Putin and the USA now have a stake in keeping the conflict going. If Putin pulls out, it will destroy him. 

If the war stops, Washington will have lost an opportunity to bleed Russia white and to sanction its economy back into the Stone Age. Russia might break up under such pressure.

The elimination of Russia as a major country will then be achieved, though someone had better be careful about what happens to all its nuclear weapons if that comes to pass. Meanwhile the Chinese police state, the closest the world has yet come to Orwell’s 1984, grows in strength and power, biding its time.

I am reminded of Robert Southey’s poem about the Battle of Blenheim, which my late father (who had seen a bit of war) was fond of quoting. A child finds a skull on the long-ago battlefield and asks his grandfather what it is. The old man tries feebly to explain, but the poem ends: ‘But what good came of it at last?’ quoth little Peterkin. ‘Why that I cannot tell,’ said he, ‘but ’twas a famous victory.’

At last…a fair hearing for Mary

The BBC has long hated and unfairly mocked Mary Whitehouse, who fought against the cultural and moral revolution 60 years ago.

But in a new BBC2 documentary, Banned, it is at last coming close to giving her a fair hearing. Despite the silly music and the huge airtime given to her enemies, her integrity and prophetic insight shine through.

What feminist can deny that pornography is made by men for men and that it pollutes our society, or that the 1960s ‘libertarians’ spawned a new, intolerant tyranny?

The then BBC Director-General, Hugh Greene, emerges as a nasty snob who despised BBC licence-payers and shamelessly used censorship to silence an honourable critic.

The biggest scandal? Our school system 

I want to spit whenever I hear anyone saying that such and such a scandal of incompetence must ‘never be allowed to happen again’. Because I know that within a year or two I will read of just such a scandal – not identical, but similar.

Sometimes it is needless deaths, sometimes foul people left to do terrible things for years, sometimes horrible injustice, colossal fraud, vast delays and cost overruns. 

The NHS (last week), the police, the Armed Forces, the Post Office, the banks, the railways, whoever it is, you keep wondering as you read of these events why we still claim to be an advanced country. Almost always you find that honourable, brave people tried to draw attention to the problem, perhaps for years, and the system treated them with obdurate contempt.

So why is this? I have just finished writing a book on the unhinged destruction of the grammar schools (and their Scottish equivalents) by politicians of both parties in the 1960s and 1970s. And I am quite sure that the fundamental problem is in our education system. It simply is less and less good at teaching people to be competent and responsible.

This week’s English Education White Paper reveals that in 2019 ‘65 per cent of Key Stage 2 pupils reached the expected standard in all of reading, writing and maths’. This means that an appalling 35 per cent did not even attain this not-very-high level. The blowback of shutting the grammar schools was that primary schools became less rigorous, too. 

It is now several generations since this happened, so the teachers have often been badly taught. As for the universities, scandalous grade inflation and commercial greed are tearing them to bits. But any attempt at refo

LITERARY FICITION

POGUEMAHONE by Patrick McCabe (Unbound £20, 624 pp)

POGUEMAHONE 

(Unbound £20, 624 pp) 

No one who read McCabe’s 1992 novel The Butcher Boy could forget its chilling depiction of a troubled schoolboy in 1960s Ireland. 

His latest, a dizzying verse novel 600 pages long, is equally likely to haunt the mind. It has so many layers that we’re never sure where we are, but very roughly speaking, it centres on Una, an Irish woman recalling life in a squat during the 1970s. The story of how she fell for a poet — and then caught him in flagrante — is intercut with the painful tale of her mother, Dots, a call girl in 1950s Soho. 

All this and more unfolds in aspectral tornado of voices, which calls into question the status of the narrator, Dan, supposedly Una’s brother but possibly also her son, and kampus terbaik di lampung who may never even have been born. 

A difficult reading experience, to be sure, but a rich one, too, with a skinpricking ambience that’s both gritty and ethereal.

Smith’s new book follows her recent seasonal quartet of novels penned in rapid response to contemporary events, from the Brexit vote (the backdrop to 2017’s Autumn) to the first lockdown (the setting for Summer, published two years ago). 

It’s told by a painter, Sandy, whose father is in hospital when she is called out of the blue by an old classmate, Martina, a museum worker complaining about her heavy-handed treatment by customs officials. 

Another thread set in medieval times follows a destitute girl who finds herself persecuted after joining a travelling band of players. 

The story unfolds in the chatty, pun-filled style that Smith has made her own, but it’s notably sleeker than her recent output, and better for it. 

As ever, the book’s pleasure lies in Smith’s gift for giddying associative leaps, and the ease with which she deploys her lightly worn erudition in order to hymn the virtues of openhearted creativity.

GLORY by NoViolet Bulawayo (Chatto £18.99, 416 pp)

 GLORY 

(Chatto £18.99, 416 pp) 

Zimbabwean writer Bulawayo made the Booker shortlist in 2013 with her debut We Need New Names, a coming-of-age story about a girl migrating to the United States. 

Her more ambitious new novel is a sprawling social panorama set in the fictional African state of Jidada, witnessed through the fall of one dictator and the rise of another. 

The twist is that its characters are all animals — a nod to George Orwell’s Animal Farm that generates early intrigue, but soon comes to seem like a gimmick lending unity to a series of shapeless vignettes. 

Yes, Bulawayo captures the psychology of life in a ‘failed state’, to say nothing of the patronising attitudes encoded in that Western phrase; the president of the United States, none too subtly, is a Twitteraddicted baboon. 

As that suggests, though, Bulawayo’s animals are nothing more than humans in fancy dress, which adds to the oddly affectless feel of a novel that wastes its conceit.
