Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Today Pfizer/BioNTech announced that their data on the three-dose Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to under age 5 years had favorable results regarding immune response, with minimal side effects. As reported in Forbes by Robert Hart , the three-dose regimen, unlike the previously studied two-dose regimen, produced an immune response similar to that of the two-dose regimen in 18- to 25-year-olds, with a strong safety profile. This comes at a time when Covid-19 cases are surging in many states, with some areas of the northeast determined to be back at “high alert” levels. Most regions nationwide have lifted nearly all Covid-19 mitigation measures, including masking and testing, and few jurisdictions have reverted to requiring either, despite the marked rise in daily case numbers as well as now in hospitalizations. Parents of the 18 or so million children under age five years in the U.S. have been eagerly … [Read more...] about Covid-19 Vaccines For Children Under Age Five Years: Explained

Throwing my bags onto the airport security conveyor belt at New York City’s JFK Airport Terminal 4, I noticed that the woman in front of me was wearing a hat, jacket, and backpack all with the same company logo. I started talking with her as we waited our turn through the metal detector. I asked her about the company, and she excitedly told me about it and different roles she played there. That is powerful brand marketing—and it was free. Here is the funny part—she no longer even worked at that company. advertisement advertisement So much emphasis goes into employer branding and hiring. Employer branding is the reputation a company creates and reinforces through its marketing. It’s the image that compels people to apply for a job or take that recruiting call. There are entire marketing functions devoted to this, but when it comes to offboarding, it’s often difficult to find an HR employee who is available for that exit interview. While onboarding … [Read more...] about An effective way to recruit talent? Try to get your current workers to leave

A judge Monday sentenced a 49-year-old Greeley man to 120 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections for 16 drug charges related to his involvement in a large-scale and long-running drug trafficking organization. Luke Braziel, 49, appeared in person Monday afternoon with defense attorney Stephanie Stout for a sentencing hearing before Weld Judge Julie Hoskins. Braziel’s case dates back to 2019 when the Weld County Drug Task Force started an investigation into a major drug trafficking organization operating in Weld County. The investigation led to the arrest of multiple people. Braziel — who has a criminal history relating to drugs dating back to 1998 — and other members of his organization distributed a total of 28 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and heroin into the county, according to Greeley police. The task force learned that Braziel distributed drugs from his residence in the 1800 block of 7th Avenue in Greeley. Prosecutors from the Weld County District … [Read more...] about Greeley man gets 120 years in prison for 16 charges related to drug trafficking organization

By Rachel Metz , CNN Business Updated 1124 GMT (1924 HKT) May 24, 2022 (CNN Business) Cher Scarlett, a software engineer, has a history of being misidentified by face-scanning technology, including one instance that may have surfaced a distant ancestor in a photo. So when she was introduced to an online facial-recognition tool she hadn't heard of, she wanted to see whether it would mistake photos of her mom or daughter for her. On February 1, Scarlett uploaded some images of her teenage daughter and her mom to PimEyes , a facial-recognition website meant to be used to find pictures of yourself from around the web — ostensibly to help stamp out issues such as revenge porn and identity theft. She didn't get any images of herself in return — pictures of her daughter yielded other kids, she said, while one of her mom led to some pictures of her mother, plus images of other, similar-looking women. Anyone can use this powerful facial-recognition tool — and … [Read more...] about She thought a dark moment in her past was forgotten. Then she scanned her face online

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Led largely by the response to Apple’s Best Picture Oscar-winning film CODA , interest in the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities has never been higher. Interest in taking sign language classes has skyrocketed since the film debuted, and there continues to be a newfound reverence for not only this segment of the disability community but of children of deaf adults as well. As a lifelong CODA, I personally can attest CODA is as much about Ruby Rossi constantly shifting between worlds—deaf and hearing—as it is whatever heartwarming-bordering-on-inspiration-porn cliches critics and fans have said about it. The familial dynamics depicted in the movie is what resonated with me, particularly since I could understand the dialogue between Ruby and her parents without relying on the subtitles. ASL is my first language and I speak it fluently. Along those lines of amplifying hearing disabilities, Blake Cadwell’s Soundly , which … [Read more...] about Hearing Health Startup Soundly Wants To Revolutionize How People Should Treat Their Ears

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Judd Apatow, who directed the movie Knocked Up , once called college the reward for surviving high school. That may be true for many. But like eating pumpkin pie while skydiving, such rewards aren’t always easy to take. Evidence suggests that college campuses across the U.S. have been embroiled in an ongoing mental health crisis for a while now. And that’s why Zac Clark, who was a contestant in ABC ’s reality TV show The Bachelorette , recently embarked on his “Keep Going” college tour that kept going from April 25 to April 30. Now these days, it may be tempting for some to blame everything mental health-related on the Covid-19 pandemic and the precautions that have been implemented. However, it’s not as if everything was peaches and creamsicles before 2020. For example, a study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found that nearly half of college-age individuals interviewed in 2001 to 2002 had had a … [Read more...] about Colleges Facing Mental Health Crisis, Here’s What The Bachelorette’s Zac Clark Is Doing About It

- A + A ZURICH (May 24): The recent outbreak of monkeypox is unusual but is still containable, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). "It's not something we've seen over the last few years," said Sylvie Briand, director of the WHO's epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention department on Tuesday. She said it is still containable and that countries can cut the chain of transmission by raising awareness and getting people to recognise the symptoms early. The illness itself begins like many acute viral diseases — with high fever, muscle pain, and swollen lymph nodes. Those symptoms can be followed by a skin rash often starting in the face before spreading elsewhere and sometimes growing into fluid-containing pustules that form a scab. The illness usually lasts two to four weeks. Monkeypox, which has been afflicting developing countries for years, has spread across Europe and the US in recent days, leading to a total of 131 confirmed cases to date … [Read more...] about Monkeypox can be contained if people recognise it, says WHO

Moisture and adventure meets Thai culture and mythology at Andamanda , Thailand’s biggest water park, covering 58 rai of land in Kathu, in Phuket, southern Thailand. On Saturday, Thailand’s former deputy prime minister Suwat Liptapanlop attended the water park’s grand opening. The new theme park is located on the main road to Patong, about 800 metres west of the Samkong intersection, certainly one of the busiest roads on the island for any tourists going in or out of Patong. The Saturday soft-opening was used as a day for the staff to check the flow of a large group of customers, from the car park attendants to the people looking after the rides and pushing you down the slides. Watch The Thaiger’s review of Andamanda HERE . On Saturday, the 4.5 billion baht water park welcomed thousands of guests for the first time, including 1,500 Phuket residents (and three very wet Thaiger YouTube reporters). Andamanda is Thai mythology themed, with 5 zones covering 9.8 hectares … [Read more...] about Thailand’s biggest new attraction “Andamanda” opens in Phuket

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In the 82 days since Russia widened its war on Ukraine, the Russian military has lost a third of its forces, according to the U.K. Defense Ministry. That’s tens of thousands of dead soldiers, sailors and airmen plus thousands of wrecked armored vehicles, a dozen sunk or damaged ships and boats and more than a hundred shot-down aircraft. The heavy losses are contributing to a spiral of declining combat effectiveness. As Russia writes off more and more of its best weaponry and buries more of its best-trained troops, it increasingly counts on old weapons and under-trained troops to sustain its war effort. But obsolescent weapons and second-tier troops get blown up and killed even faster than do the modern and first-line weapons and troops they replaced. It’s not for no reason that, with each passing week, the Kremlin ratchets down its war aims. In late February, the Russians simultaneously attacked along four … [Read more...] about Russia Lost A Third Of Its Forces In Ukraine. Now It’s Losing The War.

Today, we look at how the subscription business model gets you closer to your customers--for free. In a traditional business, the customer buys your product or service once and it is up to you to try and convince them to buy again in the future. You often have no idea if they liked what they bought and what would have made them buy more so you're left having to guess or invest in costly market research. In a subscription business, you have what I call "Automatic Customers" who agree to purchase from you into the future as long as you keep providing your service or product.
