<p>The latest study on Thursday (February 17) said that protection against Covid from being previously infected lasts at least as long as that offered by vaccination. The study published in the Lancet Journal said that 10 months after getting Covid, people still had an 88 per cent lower risk of re-infection, hospitalisation and death. This made natural immunity at least as durable, if not more so than two doses of Pfizer or Moderna's vaccines against the virus.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Although protection from re-infection from all variants wanes over time, our analysis of the available data suggests that the level of protection afforded by previous infection is at least as high, if not higher than that provided by two-dose vaccination using high-quality mRNA vaccines," the study, led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) said. The researchers reviewed 65 studies from 19 countries up to September last year, which would mean some studies covered the period when infections of the Omicron variant were seen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Omicron proved to be more contagious than previous strains, but less severe.</p>

<p>"Our meta-analyses showed that protection from past infection and any symptomatic disease was high for ancestral, alpha, beta, and delta variants, but was substantially lower for the omicron BA.1 variant," Thursday's study said. Sharing the findings, the study said that pooled effectiveness against re-infection by Omicron BA.1 variant was 45.3 per cent, and 44 per cent against omicron BA.1 symptomatic disease.</p>

<p>It added the mean pooled effectiveness was greater than 78 per cent against severe disease (hospitalisation and death) for all variants including Omicron BA.1. The protection from re-infection from ancestral, alpha and delta variants declined over time but remained at 78.6 per cent at 40 weeks. But the protection against re-infection by Omicron BA.1 declined more rapidly and was estimated at 36.1 per cent at 40 weeks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thursday's study also pointed out that protection against severe disease remained high for all variants with 90.2 per cent for ancestral, alpha, and delta variants and 88.9 per cent for Omicron BA.1 at 40 weeks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Caroline Stein of the IHME, who is a co-author of the study, said in a statement that vaccines continue to be important for everyone to protect high-risk populations such as those who are over 60 years of age and those with comorbidities, news agency AFP reported on Friday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Cheryl Cohen, an epidemiologist at South Africa's National Institute for Communicable Diseases, said that in the long run, most infections would occur in people with strong protection against severe disease because of previous infection, vaccination, or both. "These results suggest that similar to other human coronaviruses, there might be a low seasonal hospitalisation burden," Cohen added.&nbsp;</p>

Study says natural immunity from Covid offers same protection as vaccination

<p>Two aircraft reported seeing a meteorite in Texas on Wednesday with residents saying that they heard a loud explosion. The meteorite was spotted over Mission in South Texas and parts of McAllen, the police said, adding that the news was shared by two aircraft with Houston Air Traffic Control. The police announced at around 8:30 pm that a meteorite has been seen in Texas . Where did the meteorite exactly hit is not known yet. People also said that the explosion was so powerful that their homes started shaking. &nbsp;"Where the exact point of impact is unknown," Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra said. "No reports of any damage in that area has been received."</p>

<p>Police Chief Cesar Torres told KVEO-TV that they started getting calls about a meteorite in Texas at around 6 pm. The calls gradually started growing and now hundreds of residents have called in reporting about the Texas meteorite. People reportedly said that they “heard the earth shake.” A "loud explosion" was heard in Mission which is situated just north of the Mexico-United States border.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alton Police Chief Jonathan Flores said that they also felt the blast, but aren't really sure of what caused it. The meteorite has not been found yet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Images of the alleged meteorite are all over social media, however, the pictures of the meteorite haven't been verified.

<p><em><strong>Indian breed dogs</strong></em>, also known as Indian Pariah dogs or desi dogs, are the native dog breeds of India. These dogs are a result of thousands of years of natural selection, and they have evolved to adapt to the local Indian climate and living conditions. Indian breed dogs are typically medium-sized, lean, and muscular with short hair and a short to medium tail.</p>

<p>There are several different types of Indian breed dogs, and their physical characteristics can vary depending on the region and the environment they have evolved in. Some of the most popular Indian breeds include:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Rajapalayam</strong>: Originally from Tamil Nadu, these dogs are known for their white coat and their loyalty and protective nature.</li>
	<li><strong>Mudhol Hound</strong>: Originally from Karnataka, these dogs are highly energetic and agile, making them well-suited for hunting and racing.</li>
	<li><strong>Kombai</strong>: Also from Tamil Nadu, these dogs are known for their powerful jaws and their ability to hunt large game.</li>
	<li><strong>Gaddi Kutta</strong>: Originally from the Himalayan region, these dogs are large and sturdy, making them well-suited for guarding and herding livestock.</li>
	<li><strong>Caravan Hound</strong>: Originally from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, these dogs are lean and muscular, making them well-suited for racing and hunting.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>There are several reasons to adopt an Indian breed dog:</strong></h2>

<ol>
	<li><strong>Adaptability</strong>: Indian breed dogs are known for their adaptability to Indian climatic conditions and their ability to thrive in diverse environments. They have evolved&nbsp;overtime to suit the Indian climate, which makes them more resilient and better suited for the conditions.</li>
	<li><strong>Low maintenance:</strong>&nbsp;Indian breed dogs are generally low-maintenance and require minimal grooming. They are also less prone to diseases and health issues compared to some purebred dogs.</li>
	<li><strong>Loyalty and Intelligence:</strong>&nbsp;Desi dogs are known for their loyalty and intelligence. They are quick learners and have the instinct to protect their families, making them great companions and watchdogs.</li>
	<li><strong>Availability</strong>: Indian breed dogs are widely available across the country, and adopting them helps in promoting their conservation and preserving their unique genetic traits.</li>
	<li><strong>Cost-effective</strong>: Adopting an Indian breed dog is cost-effective compared to purchasing a purebred dog. It also supports local breeders and helps in promoting their livelihoods.</li>
	<li><strong>Social responsibility</strong>: Adopting an Indian breed dog helps to reduce the burden on animal shelters and encourages responsible pet ownership.</li>

Why one Should Adopt an Indian Breed Dog? Find out the reasons

<p>Black holes are the source of dark energy, the mysterious force behind the accelerating expansion of the universe, says a new study. This claim comes from an international team that compared growth rates of black holes in different galaxies. The team concluded that the spread of the masses observed could be explained by black holes bearing cores of ‘dark energy’, a report by the Guardian said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Seventeen researchers in nine countries shared&nbsp;their findings in two papers published in The Astrophysical Journal and The Astrophysical Journal Letters. One of the researchers, Duncan Farrah from the University of Hawaii, said, "We propose that black holes are the source for dark energy." Farrah added that this dark energy is produced when the normal matter is compressed during the death and collapse of large stars, the Guardian report added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The researchers said the findings could be explained if black holes grow as the universe expands. They said that observations found black holes expanding 10 orders of magnitude in mass across most of cosmic history.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The Kerr black hole solution is, however, provisional as its behaviour at infinity is incompatible with an expanding universe. Black hole models with realistic behaviour at infinity predict that the gravitating mass of a black hole can increase with the expansion of the universe independently of accretion or mergers, in a manner that depends on the black hole's interior solution," the research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The researchers compared black hole masses in young galaxies with black hole masses in giant but dormant galaxies. In the younger galaxies, black holes can grow by swallowing nearby stars and other material. However, in the older ones, there is little left for them to suck in. They also found that black holes in dormant galaxies were seven to 20 times more massive than expected,&nbsp;a finding they say points to another process by which the black holes are growing.</p>

<p>“The importance of this work is that it’s taken the theories about black holes with dark energy cores and linked them for the first time to tangible observations of the universe,” said Chris Pearson, a co-author of the study who is also the Astronomy Group Leader at STFC RAL Space in Oxfordshire.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the claim that black holes are the source of dark energy was met with disapproval from some experts. Vitor Cardoso, a professor of physics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, said, there are many&nbsp;counter-arguments and facts that needed to be understood if this claim was going to live more than a few months. “What this study could also say is something as simple as black holes evolve differently today than they did billions of years ago,” Cardoso said, adding it was too early to think black holes are related to dark energy in any way.&nbsp;</p>

<p>American software giant Microsoft's Bing chatbot can at times deny obvious facts and chide users, as per the exchanges shared online by developers testing the artificial intelligence (AI) creation. The Bing chatbot was designed by Microsoft and the start-up OpenAI- which launched ChatGPT in November last year that gained prominence for its detailed responses and articulate answers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Reddit, a forum devoted to the AI-enhanced version of Bing shared the experiences of users on Wednesday (February 15), where they said the chatbot, scolded, lied and was confused, news agency AFP reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Posts shared in the Reddit forum included screenshots of exchanges with Bing and told of stumbles such as insisting that the current year is 2022 and telling someone they have "not been a good user" for challenging its veracity. Others told of the Chatbot advising on hacking a Facebook account, plagiarising an essay and also telling a racist joke.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to AFP, a spokesperson from Microsoft said, "The new Bing tries to keep answers fun and factual, but given this is an early preview, it can sometimes show unexpected or inaccurate answers for different reasons, for example, the length or context of the conversation." The spokesperson added that as the company continues to learn from these interactions, it is adjusting its responses to create coherent, relevant and positive answers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The above stumbles of Microsoft echoed the difficulties which were seen by Google's chatbot Bard last week, where it made a mistake in an advertisement. The AFP report said that the error led to &nbsp;Google's share price spiralling down by more than seven per cent on the announcement date.</p>

<p>After 66 years of marriage, when an 83-year-old woman in the United Kingdom and her daughters got nothing in her husband's will when he died, she took up the matter legally. A court in London has now ruled in her favour, granting her a share of an estate worth more than £1 million (around $1.2 million).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karnail Singh, as per reports, died in 2021 and left everything to his two sons because he "wished to leave his estate solely down the male line”, the family division of the high court in London was told. Harbans Kaur, his wife, and their four daughters were cut out in the will that was written in 2005. Kaur was married since 1955. The family owns a clothing business, and an estate valued at £1.9 million (approx. $2.23 million), according to Kaur. Her son, however, said the estate was worth £1.2 million ($1.4 million).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Justice Peel, who heard the matter, was quoted as saying in a report <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/feb/15/widow-left-out-of-husbands-will-after-66-year-marriage-wins-half-of-1m-estate">by The Guardian</a>: "It seems to me that this is the clearest possible case entitling me to conclude that reasonable provision has not been made for the claimant." The wife was left "next to nothing," the judge further noted, stressing, "it is hard to see how any other conclusion can be reached". Kaur made a "full and equal contribution" during the marriage of 66 &nbsp;years, he said.</p>

<p>The London court has ruled that she should get 50 per cent of the net value of the estate. Post the decision, Kaur's lawyer emphasised that the ruling "should be a warning", adding that "spouses can't be simply cut out of wills".</p>

Cut out of husband's will after 66 years of marriage, woman in UK gets 50% of wealth: Report

<p>Many people suffer from chronic constipation issues and it becomes painful for them to tackle it, especially if they do not wish to take any medicine. These difficulties can arise because of many reasons including bad food habits or some other clinical problem. However, in a major relief, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now cleared a pill, Vibrant, which may help ease chronic constipation and that too without the use of any medicine. How?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Before understanding how the pill works on our body and how the pill addresses constipation issues, it is important to know about Colonic Motility as dysfunction of this can lead to constipation and other colon-related issues.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is Colon and Colonic Motility Dysfunction?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The colon is an organ in the gastrointestinal tract which plays a crucial role in regulating the defecation process and maintaining the consistency of stools. However, in the case of Colonic Motility Dysfunction, bowel habits may sometimes alter which leads to constipation, diarrhoea or in certain cases, intermittent abdominal cramping.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How does the therapy work?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The drug authority gave clearance to the pill, Vibrant, in the month of August 2022. However, the treatment was up until not available to doctors for a prescription. That hurdle is also now crossed this week. The pill's main function is to provide stimulation to colonic mobility which eventually leads to a smooth bowel movement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ben Feldman, Chief Marketing Officer of Vibrant Gastro, the company which manufactured the pill, told Health, “The pills stimulate specialized nerve cells in the gut called mechanosensory cells."&nbsp;</p>

<p>This therapy is even more welcomed in the United States as a total of 16 per cent of people in the country are believed to the affected by Chronic constipation. This pill mechanically stimulates the colon from the inside and does not contain any medicine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Feldman said that the pre-programmed timing of the mechanical stimulation is thought to "improve colonic motility by leveraging the body’s biological clock." Giving more details about the pill, the chief commercial officer for Vibrant Gastro,&nbsp;Cathy Collis,&nbsp;said that when the pill is in activation mode there are little vibrations for three seconds on, and three seconds off.</p>

<p>Once the stimulation part is done, the pill is automatically expelled from the body during the bowel movement. The technology in the pill helps one to track the capsule while it’s in your body.&nbsp;</p>

FDA approves a 'first-of-its-kind' vibrating pill to relieve chronic constipation

<p>Most of us look forward to retiring. Many people plan forward for the big event. They plan a life of comfort and ease, when&nbsp;they can just lie around and in slang terms "just chill". However, for this 93-year-old professor, age is just a number and retirement is an alien concept. For this India-based scholar, Chilukuri Santhamma, Physics is a passion and teaching is her purpose in life, one which she continues to pursue even at her advanced age. Santhamma, who was born in the southeastern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh on March 8, 1929, retired in 1989 at the age of 60.

Microsoft to kill off Internet Explorer completely

<p>Zookeepers at a Japan zoo might have finally cracked the mystery behind a gibbon who became pregnant despite living alone in her cage. Two years later, the baby gibbon's DNA has been used to identify the father and the zookeepers have also evolved a theory about how the two gibbons mated. A probe into the matter has revealed that while the gibbon&nbsp; lived alone, she did cross paths with another gibbon, although she did not come into direct contact with the gibbon. The mating happened in a very weird way and led to the&nbsp;white-handed gibbon becoming pregnant.</p>

<p>Momo is a 12-year-old white-handed gibbon who lives at the Kujukushima Zoo and Botanical Garden in Nagasaki. She shocked zookeepers in February 2021 by giving birth despite not having been in the company of any male gibbon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A researcher compared the mom and baby’s hair and stool DNA samples against that of four potential fathers. After running the tests, the father was identified as Itō, a 34-year-old agile gibbon, who used to live in an enclosure adjacent to Momo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The zookeepers told CNN that it looks like the two mated through a small hole measuring nine millimeters (0.3 inch) in diameter in a steel plate between their enclosures. While they were never in the same cage together, they were in close proximity in an exhibition area at the zoo. The area was right in front of Momo's cage. What separated the cage from the exhibition area was a partition with holes.</p>

<p>Zoo superintendent Jun Yamano told Vice News that identifying the father took so long because the gibbon was a protective mother.</p>

<p>“It took us two years to figure it out because we couldn’t get close enough to collect samples—she was very protective of her child,” Yamano said.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the baby ape now weighs around two kilogrammes (4.4 pounds) and is “growing healthily”, the zoo said.</p>

<p>“It is a precious life born into the world, we will continue to take good care of him and hope that he will live a healthy long life,” said Hideki Hisano, deputy director of the zoo.</p>

<p>Notably, gibbons are one of the smallest apes in the world and even have an elaborate language they use to communicate with each other.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Agile gibbons are few in numbers and have been listed as an endangered species in the International Union for Conservation of Nature owing to deforestation, mining and road construction. Several dozen of gibbon species are native to parts of Asia and are found in north-eastern India, China and Borneo archipelago.</p>

The mystery of how a gibbon who lived alone had a baby has finally been solved

<p>The Turkey earthquake has caused widespread destruction, killing over 40,000 in Turkey and Syria and damaging buildings and infrastructure. Turkey earthquake images are proof of the level of damage sustained by the two countries. Satellite images of the Turkey earthquake show how the landscape of the affected areas has changed. The quake has caused an olive garden in Turkey to break off into two, creating a 984-feet valley.</p>

<p>The olive grove is situated in Turkey’s south-east Altınozu district, which borders Syria. The images of the Turkey olive garden are proof of how severe last week's Turkey quake, measuring 7.8 on the Richter&nbsp;Scale, was. The Turkey olive garden quake images show a jagged, sandy-coloured, canyon-like chasm. The divide is over a whopping 130 feet deep (40 metres).</p>

<p>Residents in the area described how scary last week's quake was and how close their town came to a similar destruction sustained by the olive garden. Irfan Aksu, who lives near the area, told Turkish news agency Demioren News Agency that as the earthquake struck, it created “an incredible sound”. “It was like a battlefield when we woke up,” he said.</p>

<p>Irfan wants experts to check the area for any future damage. “This is not a small town, there are 1000 houses, and 7000 thousand people live here,” he said. “Of course, we are scared… if it was a little closer, it would have happened in the middle of our town.”</p>

<p><strong>Turkey earthquake death count rises above 40,000</strong></p>

<p>The combined death toll in Turkey and Syria earthquake has now shot past 40,000. Nine more survivors were pulled from the rubble on Tuesday with the rescue and relief efforts now shifting focus to getting the survivors help in terms of food and shelter. The temperatures have fallen down considerably in the two countries and people are now battling freezing weather.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has acknowledged that the initial response to the 7.8 magnitude quake faced problems. He says that the situation is now under control.

Turkey earthquake images are proof of the level of damage sustained by the two countries. Satellite images of the Turkey earthquake show how the landscape of the affected areas has changed. The quake has caused an olive garden in Turkey to break off into two, creating a 984-feet valley. The olive grove is situated in Turkey’s south-east Altınozu district, which borders Syria. The images of the Turkey olive garden are proof of how severe last week's Turkey quake, measuring 7.8 on the Richter Scale, was. The Turkey olive garden quake images show a jagged, sandy-coloured, canyon-like chasm. The divide is over a whopping 130 feet deep (40 metres). Residents in the area described how scary last week's quake was and how close their town came to a similar destruction sustained by the olive garden. Irfan Aksu, who lives near the area, told Turkish news agency Demioren News Agency that as the earthquake struck, it created “an incredible sound”. “It was like a battlefield when we woke up,” he said. Irfan wants experts to check the area for any future damage. “This is not a small town, there are 1000 houses, and 7000 thousand people live here,” he said. “Of course, we are scared… if it was a little closer, it would have happened in the middle of our town.” Also Read | Crisis profiteers, scammers turn Turkey-Syria earthquake into a money-swindling opportunity Turkey earthquake death count rises above 40,000 The combined death toll in Turkey and Syria earthquake has now shot past 40,000. Nine more survivors were pulled from the rubble on Tuesday with the rescue and relief efforts now shifting focus to getting the survivors help in terms of food and shelter. The temperatures have fallen down considerably in the two countries and people are now battling freezing weather. × Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has acknowledged that the initial response to the 7.8 magnitude quake faced problems. He says that the situation is now under control. "We are facing one of the greatest natural disasters not only in our country but also in the history of humanity," Erdogan said in a televised speech in Ankara.

A convoy of vehicles carrying security personnel was attacked by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber, resulting in the death of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and injuring many others. The attack was carried out by a Pakistan-based terrorist group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and it caused outrage and condemnation both in India and globally. India responded by conducting air strikes on a Jaish-e-Mohammed training camp in Pakistan. The Pulwama attack remains a tragic and significant event in the country’s recent history. Efforts are going on to address the root causes of terrorism and promote peace and stability in the region.</p>

<p><strong>Here are a few tributes which we can share and remember our brave soldiers who lost their lives in this attack.</strong></p>

	<li>We salute the bravery of our armed forces, who continue to defend our nation and keep us safe from external threats. Their dedication and commitment to the nation is an inspiration for all of us.</li>

Home decor items can include a wide variety of objects, such as decorative pillows, candles, wall art, vases, plants, and tableware. When selecting home decor items as a gift, it's important to consider the recipient's personal taste, style, and the existing decor of their home. The items should complement the recipient's living space and reflect their unique personality and preferences. Home decor gifts can be practical, such as a cosy throw blanket, or purely decorative, such as a statement piece of art. The goal is to create a thoughtful and beautiful gift that adds value and enhances the recipient's home. 9.
