…After adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, time since second dose and daily infection rate, individuals vaccinated with Sinovac-CoronaVac were more likely to be infected (adjusted IRR 2.99; 95% CI 2.89 – 3.10), and more likely to develop severe disease (adjusted IRR 4.80; 95% CI 3.41 – 6.74); individuals vaccinated with Sinopharm were also at higher risk of infection (adjusted IRR 1.63; 95% CI 1.43 – 1.85), while individuals  vaccinated with Moderna were at lower risk of severe disease (adjusted IRR 0.45; 95% CI 0.27 87 – 0.74), compared with those who received Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty (Table 1)…

Malaysia Airlines launches first green flight to Singapore with fuel made from used cooking oil – TODAY

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will be operating its first passenger flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore using sustainable aviation fuel on Sunday (June 5).

In a press release on Monday, MAS announced that the flights will be operated on the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, using about 38 per cent sustainable fuel, made from renewable waste and residue raw materials such as cooking oil.

Flight MH603 to Singapore is scheduled to depart from Kuala Lumpur at 12.25pm. Flight MH606 will depart from Singapore back to Kuala Lumpur at 3.40pm.

“These flights reaffirm the national airline’s commitment to a sustainable tomorrow and mark significant progress towards achieving a cleaner, more viable fuel source for regular flights by 2025,” the airline said, adding that passengers can get discounts up to 15 per cent when booking the sustainable fuel-powered flights.

Singapore mandates ‘kill switch’ for banks as safeguard against online scams | ZDNet

Banks in Singapore will have to provide a “kill switch” as part of a new slew of security measures to safeguard against growing online scams. Consumers also are urged to access their accounts via mobile banking apps, instead of web browsers, to minimise risks.

The latest set of measures would complement those introduced in January this year, shortly after a spat of online scams involving OCBC Bank customers resulted in losses of more than SG$8.5 million ($6.32 million).

The new measures were unveiled Thursday and expected to come into effect by October 31 this year, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS).

Equality Ohio Condemns Sudden Passage of Bill Amendment Prohibiting Transgender Youth from Playing Sports – Equality Ohio

Moments ago, Rep. Jenna Powell inserted an amendment that would prohibit transgender youth from participating in school sports into HB 151—repeating what she did last year at this time. By allowing this amendment at the last possible moment, House Leadership thwarted the democratic process and denied Ohioans the opportunity to provide input. It’s a coward’s tactic that illustrates that even the sponsors know this isn’t what Ohio voters want.

Jamaican farmers’ groups meet to discuss new training opportunities

I am continuously amazed and grateful that small holder farmers continue to feed their families and community with their courage and love.

Petchary's Blog

I have to say, I worry for Jamaican farmers. At the same time, I admire them greatly for their tenacity and willingness to achieve results, no matter what. The former Agriculture Minister Floyd Green started an “Agriculture in Bloom”programme to give women farmers extra support. I am not sure whether it is still going, but I do feel that women already play a key role as small farmers (and I do not use “small” in a derogatory way!) Be that as it may, farmers face enormous challenges.

If it were only so simple (and if farmers had access to funds to do all of this…)

I get very distressed by television news reports of precious (valuable) goats that have disappeared overnight from farms, and crops that have been dug up just as they are ripening by thieves. The threats posed by climate change cannot be understated, either. Farmers have…

Two Thought Thursday, La Casa de Papel (Money Heist): “E se io muoio da partigiano” -Really “The Resistance?”

Que valentia, Profe:  fingir un mal del estomago, quemar algo en vez de ‘irse al bano’ y entonces, provokar a un hombre armado mientras tus alumnos pelean entre si, amenazando al Berlin, quien no siente nada de todos modos, asi que no sirve intentar torturarlo para que cuente el plan Chernobyl!   Solo él es capaz de reir cuando juegan a la Ruleta Ruso.  Y el Profe ha estudiado muy bien su Aikido…
