![]() Successful results of both procedures raised the total number of NWR embryos produced to 22-all of them from female Fatu, with half of them sired by the deceased male Suni who was born in Safari Park Dvůr Králové, Czech Republic, and the other half sired by Angalifu who lived in San Diego Zoo Safari Park, U.S. Out of 16 collected oocytes, three embryos were produced in the Avantea laboratory, again using the semen of Angalifu. This collection followed on from the 9th oocyte collection held at the same location and by the same team on April 24th. Eventually, five embryos of Fatu were successfully produced and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. Following maturation, seven of the oocytes were fertilized using cryopreserved, thawed semen from the deceased NWR male Angalifu. The oocytes were immediately air-lifted to the Avantea laboratory in Cremona, Italy. Oocyte collections from Najin, Fatu's mother, were ceased in 2021 following an in-depth ethical risk assessment. ![]() The BioRescue team was able to collect 23 oocytes from Fatu, the younger of the two remaining NWR females. The 10th oocyte collection in northern white rhinos (NWR) was performed by a team of scientists and conservationists from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW), Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Safari Park Dvůr Králové, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) & Wildlife Research and Training Institute (WRTI) on July 28, 2022, at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Regular veterinary and ethical assessments of oocyte collection procedures show that Fatu handles the procedures well and shows no signs of detrimental health effects. At the same time, the consortium places the highest value on respecting the life and welfare of the individual animals involved. This nourishes the hope to eventually succeed in producing new offspring and give a keystone grazer of Central Africa a new future. ![]()

The females, called nymphs, usually emerge in May when soil temperatures warm to about 64 degrees. Periodical cicadas spend most of their lives underground, coming up when it’s time to reproduce. The whole state will have the cicada emergence,” Athey said. Other parts of the country, including Washington, D.C., and Virginia, expect to see thousands - and already saw (and heard) members of the brood in 2020. “They are weird little animals, for sure.”Īthey said that while folks in Chicago won’t hear the loud sounds of Brood X, people living in downstate Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky will hear lots of noise between May and June. But somehow down the line they all catch up to each other,” Athey said. “If you look at periodicals, they all go into the ground at the same time but don’t all grow at the same rate. The areas from which they emerge as a group are referred to as brood areas, said Kacie Athey, professor and specialty crops entomologist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Periodical cicadas - unlike annual cicadas - emerge every 13 or 17 years in various areas.

He talks about the type of cell in the gut that produces serotonin – the enterochromaffin cell – and the fact that “ spore forming bacteria are some of the best stimulators of the enterochromaffin cell to produce serotonin.” He reminds us about the gut-brain connection and how anxiety and mental health issues come from the gut “ because the vast majority of serotonin in your body – more than ninety percent of it – is actually produced in the gut” and not in the brain. coagulans MTCC 5856 as an important new treatment option for major depressive disorder in IBS patients.ĭuring The Anxiety Summit 5: Gut-Brain Axis, I interviewed Kiran Krishnan who is a microbiologist, one of the founders of Microbiome Labs and a co-creator of MegaSporeBiotic™. The improvement in depression and IBS symptoms was statistically significant and clinically meaningful. It was a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-centre, pilot clinical study and: In one study, Bacillus coagulans (one of the spore-forming strains in MegaSporeBiotic™), when used alone was shown to help ease depression and gut problems in IBS patients. Pretreatment with probiotic spore-forming Bacillus strains and a supplement of amino acids in combination with immunoglobulins exhibited anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in an AA-induced rat model of ulcerative colitis.

We created the App Store to be a safe and trusted place for customers to download the apps they love and a great business opportunity for developers everywhere.

Most butterflies only have a lifespan of 2 to 3 weeks, but the brimstone butterfly can reach up to 9 to 10 months. Butterflies can be as small as 3 millimeters but can also get as big as 12 inches. To finish the wings of this butterfly I painted the upper right side using the green and blue tones. There are currently around 15,000 to 24,000 species of butterflies according to scientists. On the other side of the wings I practically repeating the same process, painting the lower area with blue to give clarity to the drawing. In the lower section of the wing I used only the three shades of blue, painting the area near the edge lighter.

In a report co-written with consulting firm Oliver Wyman, UK Finance said the advantages of tokenization, such as lower costs, lower risk and wider access, are not just “a nice-to-have.” Tokenization “can transform the financial system, and the UK should be at the centre of this transformation,” it said. The market is small now, but the future stakes are high, it said. ![]() It said then that the appointment of financial advisory firm AlixPartners was a “last resort” and followed discussions to “find a consensual solution and repayment” of the borrowing that reportedly amounted to GBP1 billion.Advocacy group UK Finance is urging the British government to encourage securities tokenization. Telegraph Media Group was bought by twin brothers Frederick and David Barclay in 2004 for GBP665 million.īut lender Bank of Scotland announced in June that it had appointed a receiver for the Bermuda-based holding company of the group, due to “debts being in default and with no sign they would be repaid”. The spokesman added the joint venture was “entirely committed to maintaining the existing editorial team of the Telegraph and Spectator publications” to protect their “reputation and credibility”. “Following transfer of ownership, RedBird Capital alone will take over management and operational responsibility for the titles under the leadership of RedBird IMI chief executive Jeff Zucker.” “Any transfer of ownership will of course be subject to regulatory review and we will continue to co-operate fully with the government and the regulator,” he said. The five Tory Member of Parliaments (MPs) have written to Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden, Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch and Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer querying the wisdom of allowing overseas sovereign wealth funds to buy national newspapers, it said.Īnnouncing the financial deals on Monday, a spokesman for RedBird IMI said in a statement that it will “provide a loan to the value of GBP600 million, secured against the Telegraph and Spectator”. The assurances follow a group of lawmakers from the ruling Conservative party urging the government to use the United Kingdom’s national security laws to investigate Abu Dhabi’s role in the takeover, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. Redbird Capital, run by former CNN president and noted media executive Jeff Zucker, would run the publications “alone” with IMI being “a passive investor only”, according to the joint venture. With regulatory approval, that would give it eventual ownership of the Telegraph Media Group. The joint venture added it also intends to exercise an option to convert a further “similar” sized loan – secured against the Telegraph and Spectator titles – into equity. RedBird IMI said it will fully pay off the debts owed to Lloyds Banking Group, allowing the media group to be taken out of receivership. The parent company of the right-leaning titles has been controlled by the Barclay family for nearly two decades but was put up for sale earlier this year over unpaid debts. RedBird IMI – a joint venture between United States firm RedBird Capital and Abu Dhabi’s International Media Investments – said it had struck a deal for a “package of loans” totalling GBP600 million (USD750 million) to take control of the Telegraph Media Group. LONDON (AFP) – Abu Dhabi-backed investment fund RedBird IMI said on Monday it is set to take control of The Daily and Sunday Telegraph sister newspapers and The Spectator magazine in Britain. ![]() |
