REUTERS/Ints KalninsJan 19 (Reuters) - A group of 11 European states have pledged to deliver more arms to Ukraine in its war with Russia, saying they would send main battle tanks, heavy artillery, air defence, ammunition and infantry fighting vehicles. The 11 nations were Estonia, Britain, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovakia and Spain. Weapons donations and military support will continue in close cooperation with allies and in accordance with Ukrainian needs. Estonia will continue to provide both basic and specialist training to hundreds of Ukrainian Armed Forces members in 2023. Poland has already donated 42 infantry fighting vehicles along with training package for two mechanised battalions.

"The jury is still out," on which technology will dominate, said Dr. Sadik Esener, director of the Cancer Early Detection Advanced Research Center at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute in Portland, Oregon. He added it could take as long as 20 years to show that an early cancer detection test saved lives. If proven to work, early cancer detection tests could help doctors identify cancer risk in patients long before symptoms or other indicators develop. DIFFERENT APPROACHESSeveral of the leading contenders take vastly different approaches to cancer detection and it is not yet clear which methods will prove most useful or when. Some are working on blood tests to detect different markers of early cancer, including proteins.

By Leslie YazelWhen I first heard about the Solo Stove Pi Fire pizza oven, I scoffed. You use semolina or cornmeal on the oven’s pizza stone for easy sliding in and out, and in about 8 minutes, you have great tasting wood-fired pizza. It’s perfect for the crucial rotation of the pie and it’s sized exactly for the Pi oven. That tool, combined with the wide “mouth” of the oven, makes rotating the pie easier than with tabletop pizza ovens I’ve tried. If you’ve read this and you’re still thinking, eh, too much time commitment for me, then this wildly-popular, high-quality pizza oven may be a great fit for your needs.

KYIV, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Ukraine's military said on Thursday it had found fragments of Russian-fired nuclear-capable missiles with dud warheads in west Ukraine, and that their apparent purpose was to distract air defences. It is primarily intended to carry nuclear warheads and to be launched from bomber aircraft. Danyliuk said the missiles were fitted with non-explosive warheads, one of which was exhibited on the stage of the briefing centre in Kyiv where he was speaking. "This is evidenced by... the impact of a Kh-55 missile into a residential building," he said. Danyliuk also said that all the Kh-55 missiles that had been discovered had their serial numbers scratched out.

In spite of fewer remote job openings, Jennifer Shapely, LinkedIn's vice president of global talent acquisition, expects flexibility to remain a top priority for workers. Frana also stresses the importance of networking, which can also help you stand out in a tight job market. As in the traditional job market, "referrals tend to get much more traction than a cold application" for remote jobs, Frana adds.

Три недели назад премьер-министр Великобритании Борис Джонсон напугал всех сообщением о новой мутации коронавируса. Самый удобный сайт, содержащий информацию о РНК коронавируса по всему миру, — Neхtstrain.org. Следующий нашумевший вариант вируса называется «Cluster 5», он был обнаружен в июне 2020 в Дании у людей, работающих с норками. Одно остается неизменным: изучение мутаций вируса помогает понять природу вируса и нашего иммунного ответа, что, в конце концов, позволит нам предположить, когда закончится вся эта история. Большинство главных мутаций коронавируса не делают его опаснее в плане тяжести заболевания, ведь вирусу не нужно, чтобы мы умирали быстрее.

Транспортировка вакцин против нового коронавируса по всему миру при температуре -70 градусов является одной из крупнейших логистических операций в истории. Также используются рефрижераторные контейнеры, в которых обычно транспортировался свежий тунец, сообщает CNN. Для этого компания повторно использовала контейнеры, которые обычно используются для перевозки свежего тунца в Японию, где требуются такие же холодные условия, сообщает digi24.ro. Во время транспортировки фармацевтические препараты, как правило, следует хранить при температуре от 2 до 8 градусов по Цельсию. Но вакцина Pfizer иная.
