Only Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for use in 16- and 17-year-olds, although a medical officer with the city health department said the risk level for the teen who got the vaccine was likely low.

Researchers crunched longitudinal data to provide a simple predictive equation, and a chart.

The events of 2020 forever changed many things. As a society and within IBM, we are just beginning to comprehend the implications of these changes.
While IBM has been a leader in corporate diversity and inclusion for decades, we see 2020 as a reset, and look forward to 2021 and beyond with a renewed conviction and deeper commitment.
“I fundamentally believe that as we continue to uphold the values of diversity, inclusion, and equity, we will make IBM a better and stronger company.”

Third World Network Biosafety Information Service, 4 Apr 2021
Worldwide, governments are under pressure from the biotechnology and agrichemical industries to deregulate products developed using the so-called “new” genetic engineering techniques such as genome editing and gene silencing. A new paper describes how many of the new techniques are not new to science, but because of technical developments can now be applied to more species in less time and for more kinds of traits.

Arduous path to LNG success

In search of stable and clean energy, Vietnam has put a strong focus on liquefied natural gas, which – though being a fossil fuel – promises to outrun coal with its higher cost efficiency and lower emissions. However, experts advise developing an efficient infrastructure and set out power purchase agreements that can attract the required investment.
GE's latest 9HA.02 turbine is accelerating the shift to LNG
After a wave of investment in solar and wind power over the past two years, Vietnam is now witnessing strong interest in the field of electricity generated with the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Bill Baruch, president of Blue Line Futures, says the charts suggest further upside.  
"I'm looking at a lot of good technicals here," Baruch told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Thursday. GE "last year made a new low but it held that 2009 low. It's recovered strongly and you've got this wedge right now that's really consolidating and it's holding the 50-day moving average very well."
Now, it needs to move out of this consolidation phase, says Baruch.
"If it can move out above this wedge, which it has started to do, and really get through that $14 to $14.50 area, the upside is $16.80 there which is where a lot of the selling pressure really kicked in back in 2018, so I think that's the sort of target," said Baruch.

New study points to unintended effects of gene editing in plants and potential negative effects on ecosystems
Gene editing causes drastic unwanted effects in gene-edited plants including severe deformities, a new scientific publication in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe shows. This is the case even when the changes are intended by the gene editor to be small tweaks to existing genes rather than, for example, the introduction of new genetic material.
More broadly, the study provides an overview of the negative effects on ecosystems that can result from the release of gene-edited plants. These unintended effects result from the intended changes induced by genome editing, which can affect various metabolic processes in the plants.

GE on Wednesday said it will be providing maintenance services and a suite of digital solutions for the upcoming 718-megawatt (MW) power plant at Meghnaghat, in Bangladesh.
The plant is owned by Reliance Bangladesh LNG & Power Ltd, a joint venture between India's Reliance Power Limited and Japan's JERA Co Inc.
"GE's proven track record of providing high-quality technology, services and advanced digital solutions along with the local footprint in Bangladesh, gives us the confidence that the 718 MW Meghnaghat power plant will set a new benchmark in delivering sustainable power to the people of Bangladesh," said Ranjan Lohar, CEO, Reliance Bangladesh LNG & Power Ltd in a statement.

GE signs maintenance contract with Reliance Bangladesh LNG & Power
March 31, 2021
GE Power India Ltd has signed a 22-year contract with Reliance Bangladesh LNG & Power Ltd to provide maintenance services for its upcoming 718MW combined cycle power plant, the firm said on Wednesday.
A joint venture between India’s Reliance Power and Japan’s JERA, Reliance Bangladesh LNG & Power Ltd! is building the plant in Meghnaghat, Bangladesh.
To be commissioned in early 2023, the plant will utilise re-gasified liquified natural gas to generate the equivalent electricity needed to supply more than 850,000 homes in Bangladesh, GE said in a statement.
The agreement includes equipment maintenance on the gas and steam turbines, and auxiliaries, and implementation of plant-wide digital solutions on cloud asset performance maintenance, operations performance maintenance, performance intelligence, and a baseLine security centre, the statement added.

A successful introduction in the US will set the stage for commercial cultivation and imports in other countries
The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) has published a product profile of Corteva's gene-edited waxy maize here.

GRAIN, 29 Mar 2021

At least five countries - Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile and the US - have approved a variety of maize genetically modified (GM) with a genome editing technique called CRISPR, without subjecting the crop to the risk assessments and regulations for GM crops. Other countries could soon follow.
The GM maize is produced by US-based Corteva, the world's second largest seed company and fourth largest pesticides company. Corteva describes the variety as a "waxy corn" which, like conventional waxy corn varieties, produces a starch high in amylopectin and low in amylose. In this case, Corteva used genetic engineering to knock out the genes responsible for producing amylose from its non-waxy hybrid maize varieties.

The best water filter pitcher for 2021
Spoiler: It isn't Brita.
A filtered pitcher is a quick and easy way to improve the taste and quality of your water. They're simple to use: Just pour tap water into the pitcher and stick it in the fridge while the water passes through the filter and into the main reservoir. Some pitchers take several minutes to filter water, while others only take about 30 seconds.
Regardless, the best water filter pitcher will help remove some of the impurities in your regular tap water in relatively short order. I tested out seven top-rated pitchers, with prices ranging from $17 to $75. Each one has different specs, but they all promise to make your drinking water better. Curious about the winner? Spoiler: Our choice for the best water filter pitcher isn't Brita.

PARIS (Reuters) - Aircraft leasing giant AerCap’s acquisition of rival GECAS will reduce competition in the aircraft market, the head of global airline industry body IATA warned on Wednesday.
“We understand that the situation of the leasing companies is difficult,” IATA Director General Alexandre de Juniac told Reuters. “But combining the two to have a big player (in) a very dominant situation is not good news for us.”
The world’s two largest aircraft lessors announced plans last week to combine, with Ireland’s AerCap agreeing to pay more than $30 billion for GECAS, the air finance business of General Electric.

A team led by Arjun Arunachalam has developed a lightweight, fast, affordable, and portable MRI scanner.
The machine can be transported to any location in India, including remote areas, and potentially take medical imaging to the underserved parts.
In Bengaluru’s industrial hub of Peenya, a healthcare innovation by a small company promises to make quality medical imaging – and, therefore, improved medical diagnosis and treatment – accessible to parts of India that are medically underserved.
