खूबसूरती / Beauty – Kaushal Kishore
खूबसूरती मोहताज नहीं होती उम्र की
सिर्फ़ पैमाने बदल जाते हैं,
अंगूर के लिए कुछ और,
और किशमिश के लिए कुछ और…
😍😍😍
Age doesn’t dictate beauty,
only the scale changes,
one thing for grapes,
and something else for raisins…

A Que en estos días nada nos impida percibir la proximidad de Dios y seamos nosotros la navidad en su máximo esplendor. LMML.

WHO designates JN.1 as separate COVID-19 variant of interest | CIDRAP
Due to its rapid growth and potential to add to the respiratory virus burden in Northern Hemisphere countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) today designated JN.1, part of the BA.2.86 SARS-CoV-2 lineage, as its own variant of interest.
The announcement came following an assessment from the WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 evolution.
Rapidly rising JN.1 proportions
JN.1, first detected on August 25, contains L455S mutation in the spike protein, compared to the parent BA.2.86 variant. The mutation is thought to enhance JN.1’s immune-evasion capabilities. The WHO had first designated BA.2.86 as a variant under monitoring in August, then in late November upgraded it and its offshoots, including JN.1, as a variant of interest.
