Taliban begging oh ....

pehkay — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 10:39:07 +0800

The Taliban are begging for the release of Afghanistan's frozen funds as the country's economy falls into a crisis, Reuters reported on Friday.

"The money belongs to the Afghan nation. Just give us our own money," Ahmad Wali Haqmal, the country's finance-ministry spokesperson, said to Reuters. "Freezing this money is unethical and is against all international laws and values."

Haqmal said that in return for the money, the Taliban would respect the education of women and human rights, the report said.

Shah Mehrabi, a board member of Afghanistan's central bank, told Reuters the "situation is desperate and the amount of cash is dwindling."

Since the collapse of the Afghan government in August, the Taliban have been unable to get their hands on the central bank's nearly $10 billion in reserves, some of which is held in New York City.

The money was frozen by the US after Afghanistan's previous government fell to the militant group, which left the Taliban hamstrung and without sufficient funding.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan is facing a tremendous humanitarian disaster as it readies for the cold winter months, the United Nations said Monday.

The UN's World Food Programme said more than half the country's population — 22.8 million people — would be food-insecure this winter.

Humanitarian-aid officials blamed the bleak figure on the country's spiraling economic crisis, a security dilemma, the COVID-19 pandemic, and droughts.

UTURN! School closed tomorrow

PETALING JAYA: All schools in Selangor have been instructed to close for two days.

The schools will be closed on Thursday (May 6) and Friday (May 7), said a circular issued by the state Education Department.

“In light of the fact that there will only be two days of face-to-face learning left before the Hari Raya break, the ministry has decided to close all schools in the state.

“Schools must ensure that home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) is conducted during the closure.”

The circular, dated Wednesday (May 5) and sighted by The Star, was signed by Selangor Education director Izmi Ismail.

On April 26, Education Minister Datuk Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin announced that all schools would be carrying out PdPR for two weeks after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri school break.

Israeli scientists: coronavirus vaccine

Israeli scientists: 'In a few weeks, we will have coronavirus vaccine'

Israeli scientists are on the cusp of developing the first vaccine against the novel coronavirus, according to Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis. If all goes as planned, the vaccine could be ready within a few weeks and available in 90 days, according to a release.

“Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough,” Akunis said. “I am confident there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat,” Akunis said, referring to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

For the past four years, a team of MIGAL scientists has been developing a vaccine against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), which causes a bronchial disease affecting poultry. The effectiveness of the vaccine has been proven in preclinical trials carried out at the Veterinary Institute.

MIGAL is located in the Galilee.

“Our basic concept was to develop the technology and not specifically a vaccine for this kind or that kind of virus,” said Dr. Chen Katz, MIGAL’s biotechnology group leader. “The scientific framework for the vaccine is based on a new protein expression vector, which forms and secretes a chimeric soluble protein that delivers the viral antigen into mucosal tissues by self-activated endocytosis, causing the body to form antibodies against the virus.”

Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into a cell by surrounding the material with cell membrane, forming a vesicle containing the ingested material.

In preclinical trials, the team demonstrated that the oral vaccination induces high levels of specific anti-IBV antibodies, Katz said.

“Let’s call it pure luck,” he said. “We decided to choose coronavirus as a model for our system just as a proof of concept for our technology.”

But after scientists sequenced the DNA of the novel coronavirus causing the current worldwide outbreak, the MIGAL researchers examined it and found that the poultry coronavirus has high genetic similarity to the human one, and that it uses the same infection mechanism, which increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very short period of time, Katz said.

“All we need to do is adjust the system to the new sequence,” he said. “We are in the middle of this process, and hopefully in a few weeks we will have the vaccine in our hands. Yes, in a few weeks, if it all works, we would have a vaccine to prevent coronavirus.”

MIGAL would be responsible for developing the new vaccine, but it would then have to go through a regulatory process, including clinical trials and large-scale production, Katz said.

Akunis said he has instructed his ministry’s director-general to fast-track all approval processes with the goal of bringing the human vaccine to market as quickly as possible.

“Given the urgent global need for a human coronavirus vaccine, we are doing everything we can to accelerate development,” MIGAL CEO David Zigdon said. The vaccine could “achieve safety approval in 90 days,” he said.

It will be an oral vaccine, making it particularly accessible to the general public, Zigdon said.

“We are currently in intensive discussions with potential partners that can help accelerate the in-human trials phase and expedite completion of final-product development and regulatory activities,” he said.

Hi all,

I have a micro sim card that I want to convert to nano sim but it is a supplementary line (part of family package). The principal or owner is not local and won't be able to come in person.

Welcome to V10, dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

As in the spirit of V9 before, we are practicing to fellowship with one other as blood-washed, born-again, Spirit-filled Christians because we seek to give testimony to the unity of the Body of Christ.

It is our sincere and earnest desire that the Lord's testimony on this earth may be spread and greatly strengthened in order that His Bride may be prepared for His soon return. May the Lord honor and vindicate His own work on this earth in these days.

As such, may the maxim holds true, "In essential unity, in non-essential liberty, and in all things charity".
