And in Congress, lawmakers see Democratic prospects of taking over the House of Representatives, hanging on to the Senate and returning to the White House slipping away, four months ahead of the election. The concern followed reports that post-debate polling by progressive non-profit OpenLabs found that New Hampshire, Virginia and New Mexico — all once safe Biden states — are now in play for Trump. Aware of growing alarm in the party, Biden scheduled a White House meeting with all 23 Democratic governors on Wednesday evening. And it’s not even last week’s debate,” political analyst and prominent Trump critic Bill Kristol wrote Wednesday for conservative outlet The Bulwark. “It’s the fitness of the president to be president — not for a few more months, but for four more years.”

A common infection-causing bacteria was much less likely to evolve antibiotic resistance when treated with a mixture of antimicrobial peptides rather than a single peptide, making these mixtures a viable strategy for developing new antibiotic treatments. One emerging strategy to combat antibiotic resistance is the use of antimicrobial peptides, which are chains of amino acids that function as broad-spectrum antimicrobial compounds and are key components of the innate immune system in animals, fungi and plants. In the new study, researchers investigated whether antimicrobial peptide mixtures synthesized in the lab could reduce the risk of the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa from evolving antimicrobial resistance, compared to exposure to a single antimicrobial peptide. They found that using antimicrobial peptide mixtures carried a much lower risk of the bacteria developing resistance. Overall, the findings suggest that the use of antimicrobial peptide mixtures is a strategy worth pursuing in the search for new, longer-lasting treatments for bacteria.

Structuring Unstructured TimeGiving space for kids to be bored does require a bit of structure and takes a little practice. Instead of asking kids to keep themselves busy for two hours or defaulting to screen time where kids are passively engaged, Jirout offers a couple of strategies to provide some structure to unstructured time. Another way to structure unstructured time is for kids to make up their own schedule for a few hours. Drafting their schedule is an example of how stretches of boredom can offer kids a sense of control and autonomy they typically lack during a typical school or camp day. So, I think it is great to provide them the opportunity to figure out what they want to do."

Human Rights Watch also reviewed satellite imagery and verified videos and photographs following an apparent government drone strike on an ambulance in November. Human Rights Watch found that Ethiopian forces endangered or disrupted the functioning of hospitals. In addition, it affords special protections to health facilities, medical professionals, patients, and ambulances. Even during an armed conflict, international human rights law remains in effect and contains core obligations for countries to maintain minimum essential levels of the right to health. The Ethiopian government should immediately end attacks on medical professionals, patients, health facilities, and transports in the Amhara region.

Turkey has begun mediating talks between Somalia and Ethiopia over a port deal Addis Ababa signed with the breakaway region of Somaliland earlier this year, according to four officials familiar with the matter. The goal of the negotiation was unclear, and expectations of a resolution were low, two of the officials said. “Despite rumours that Somalia has softened its stance on refusing to engage in dialogue until Ethiopia withdraws the (agreement), it seems unlikely,” one of the officials said. Turkey has built schools, hospitals and infrastructure and provided scholarships for Somalis to study in Turkey, and in return secured a foothold in Africa and on a key global shipping route.

Turkey is mediating talks between Somalia and Ethiopia over a contentious port deal that Ethiopia signed with Somaliland earlier this year, according to officials with inside knowledge of the matter. Ethiopia had agreed to recognize Somaliland’s independence in exchange for the lease of 20km of the region’s coastline. Turkey shares a close relationship with Somalia and has rendered significant assistance to the East African country. Nevertheless, expectations are low that the negotiations will lead to a resolution, unless Ethiopia rescinds its agreement with Somaliland. SOURCE: THE EAST AFRICAN

He said Ethiopia and Somalia delegates did not hold direct talks, but Turkey was acting as the intermediary. The talks in Ankara are yet to iron out the differences as Somalia maintained the agreement ought to be dropped for sanity to prevail. A statement released on Monday in Ankara indicates that Somalia and Ethiopia signed a joint declaration in Turkey, which expresses mutual willingness to resolve their issues.
