Summary: LOS ANGELES , Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VCA Animal Hospitals , a leader in comprehensive veterinary services and Antech , a leader in veterinary diagnostics, today published its Six-Step Framework for Companion Animal Public Health Collaboration, detailing how One Health organizations can integrate pets into a nationwide health response. This innovative framework outlines the necessary considerations and steps to quickly activate this response lever as part of public safety efforts. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between veterinary professionals, public health officials, and diagnostic experts to create a seamless and effective response system. Prior to the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, approaches to understand the impacts of infectious disease outbreaks such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, on pets were limited and fragmented. A recent VCA study published in Viruses highlights the effectiveness of this new six-step framework in action with VCA and Antech working together to implement rapid-response monitoring and disease detection protocols. This collaboration enabled swift identification and management of COVID-19 cases, demonstrating the potential of the framework to address a critical knowledge gap bridging human and pet health during an emerging public health pandemic. "Traditionally, pets have largely been ignored in public health surveillance, but we want to change that," said Anne Kimmerlein DVM, MPVM, DACVPM, Veterinary Epidemiologist for VCA Animal Hospitals. "Thanks to the participation of our Associates and their pets, we were able to show the impact that the private veterinary sector can have when we come together to address an emerging public health threat. Based on that initial work, we've created a framework for continued and expanded One Health collaboration." The study involved a nationwide approach, focusing on households with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans. Pets in these households were monitored for clinical signs consistent with SARS-CoV-2, and samples were collected for PCR and serological testing. The study included 747 dogs and 253 cats. The study highlighted the significance of being watchful of close human-animal contact and preventive measures to reduce transmission risks. The results indicated that pets can contract SARS-CoV-2, primarily through close contact with infected humans. While most pets showed mild or no symptoms, the study nonetheless underscored the recommendation for preventive measures such as good hand hygiene around pets to minimize transmission risks. The findings also demonstrated the potential for pets to seroconvert and develop antibodies, indicating exposure to the virus. "The results of this study show a significant step in advancing our understanding of how closely human and animal health are intertwined – and it was only possible through close collaboration between VCA and our team at Antech," said Christian Leutenegger , Dr. Med. Vet., Ph.D., FHV, Vice President of R&D, Assay Development at Antech Diagnostics . "The research provides a blueprint for continued ongoing collaboration to examine other types of infectious diseases that could impact our pets." VCA and Antech's six-step framework for One Health collaboration sets a new standard for integrating pets into nationwide health responses. By fostering collaboration and leveraging advanced diagnostic tools, this approach helps deliver a swift and effective response to public health crises. The success of the COVID-19 study serves as a testament to the potential of this innovative strategy. "Our commitment to One Health principles has never been stronger," said Marie Kerl , DVM, MPH, MBA, DACVIM, DACVECC and Chief Medical Officer for VCA Animal Hospitals. "By integrating pets into our nationwide health response, we can ensure a more comprehensive approach to public safety and health."

Sam Darnold sensed the backside pressure as soon as he dropped back with Minnesota trailing by four points late in the fourth quarter in Seattle, so he moved into a safe space in the pocket and did precisely what the Vikings would prefer him to do with the game on the line. He threw the ball down the field to Justin Jefferson. The perfectly placed throw near the sideline beat double coverage for a 39-yard touchdown that put the Vikings back in front with 3:51 remaining in a 27-24 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday. “It was a great call,” said Jefferson, who had 10 receptions for 144 yards and two scores, all season highs. “I’m not going to say too much about that play, but something went on where me and Sam were on the same page, and he found me and we went up.” The Vikings were understandably coy about the context around the go-ahead touchdown , when Darnold made a difficult on-the-run pass just over cornerback Tariq Woolen that Jefferson deftly twisted to catch next to his backside hip so he could shield the ball from late-breaking safety Julian Love. Darnold saw Love's shoulders initially shaded inside just enough to believe he couldn't retreat fast enough to prevent Jefferson from getting the ball. Jefferson also applied some improvisation to his route that Darnold clearly and properly read during the play. “I want those guys to have some freedom in those moments,” coach Kevin O'Connell said. “We do a lot of things with Justin and Sam, seeing the coverage and then with some route opportunities to get to at the line of scrimmage, and I think those guys have just gotten so comfortable with that stuff.” Darnold's long-delayed breakout performance under O'Connell has been one of the stories of the NFL this season, one that wouldn't have unfolded as neatly for the third overall pick in the 2018 draft without such synergy between him and his superstar wide receiver. If the Vikings (13-2) win their last two games, they will not only be NFC North champions for the second time in three years but also get the No. 1 seed and the lone first-round bye in the NFC for the playoffs. “Every single game we’re finding different ways to overcome adversity, overcome the different stuff defenses have thrown towards us," Jefferson said. “Sam has done a great job being a leader.” What's working The pass rush was strong, with Andrew Van Ginkel recording two sacks and pressure leading to both interceptions of Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith. The Vikings were credited with eight hits on Smith. What needs help The Vikings converted only three of 12 third downs, their second-worst rate of the season. Stock up Theo Jackson, who saw significant playing time at safety with Harrison Smith out, had the game-sealing interception with 49 seconds left. Stock down Tight end Josh Oliver has played 47% of the snaps the last two games, his two lowest usage rates of the season. He dropped the only pass he was thrown on Sunday. Injury report The defense ought to get a big boost this week with the expected return of the 13-year veteran Smith from his first absence in two years when he was sidelined at Seattle with a foot injury. Linebacker Ivan Pace, who has missed four games on injured reserve with a hamstring strain, is also on track to be back with his return to practice. Backup defensive lineman Jalen Redmond, who didn't play against the Seahawks because of a concussion, has made progress through the protocol, O'Connell said. Backup cornerback Fabian Moreau, who was inactive at Seattle with a hip injury, will continue to be evaluated throughout the week. Key number 13.6% — That's the third-down conversion allowance rate for the Vikings over the last two games, with Chicago and Seattle combining to go just 3 for 22. The Vikings rank second in the NFL in third-down defense at 33.7% for the season and also rank second on fourth down at 36.7%. Up next The Vikings host Green Bay on Sunday, with the kickoff moved to the late afternoon showcase spot on Fox. If Minnesota loses to the Packers, the Lions will clinch the NFC North and the Vikings would open the playoffs on the road as the No. 5 seed at best. Even if the Lions were to lose at San Francisco on Monday night, the Vikings would need to win at Detroit on Jan. 5 to take the division title. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Dave Campbell, The Associated PressFresno State gets fried in Potato Bowl in overtime loss to NIU

Trudeau, Carney push back over Trump's ongoing 51st state commentsPALMYRA, Pa. — It was a radical idea, and for many years she had been resistant. But as Zoey Stapleton, 24, walked down a darkened hiking trail, steps behind her parents, she counted back from three and "took a leap of faith," revealing to them that she wanted to become a nun. And though there were moments of silence that evening in the woods just over a year ago, the news of her decision — and eventual acceptance into a religious institute — didn't come as a complete surprise to her parents, who say their faith deepened because of their daughter's. Stapleton, a recent graduate of Franciscan University, a Catholic college in Ohio, will be among the less than 1% of nuns in the United States today who are 30 or younger. That number has remained steady in the past decade but shows little signs of increasing. Between 100 and 200 young women enter into a religious vocation each year in the U.S. Some never complete the process to become a nun. Those who do are giving up many trappings of modern life — dating, material wealth, sometimes even cell phones and fashionable clothes — for the sake of an immersive religious life and intergenerational community, at a time when the average age of an American nun is 80. Just this year Pope Francis urged orders to pray harder for more priests and nuns as he acknowledged the number of men and women entering Catholic religious life continues to plummet in parts of the world, including Europe and the U.S. The number of nuns in the U.S. peaked in 1965 at 178,740, and declined to 39,452 by 2022, according the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. There are just over 500 communities of women religious in the U.S., and most have 50 or fewer members, according to Thomas Gaunt, CARA's executive director. "Those communities that have younger members and are fairly active tend to attract other younger members," he said. Stapleton — raised a Catholic, and having attended Catholic schools from pre-K to college — was familiar with nuns, but it was with the Franciscan Sisters, T.O.R. of Penance of the Sorrowful Mother that she found a deeper connection. "I just found that they were very personally invested with me as a person, not just as a possible sister," said Stapleton. In August, she and two other women joined the community nestled in the hills of Toronto, Ohio, as postulants. The former college tennis player and coach has even found an athletic bond with the sisters. "They really love being active," Stapleton said. "I've played a vicious game of soccer with them before and ultimate Frisbee. There's blood and sweat. It's awesome." From sharing flip phones to wearing habits, nuns choose a radical life The Franciscan Sisters, T.O.R, were founded in 1988 — newer than many religious communities. Others established in that era include the Sisters of Life, which is active in anti-abortion causes and which Stapleton briefly considered joining. "They're a very blooming order right now. They have a lot of vocations, praise God," she said. Over the past 30 years they've grown from 10 members to more than 120, according to Gaunt. Both communities are part of the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, a U.S. association of orders often seen as more conservative than its larger counterpart, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. Before entering the order, Stapleton said one of the challenging transitions would be to give up her sense of style and wear the habit. "I'm a big pro-habit girl," she said. "You're supposed to be a sign of contradiction in the world. If you look like everyone else, they're not going to know who you're living for." The order's patron saint, Francis of Assisi, led a life of poverty. In emulation, the sisters dress in modest habits consisting of a long white veil and gray robes that many choose to pair with modern sandals. The sisters think of this as their wedding garments as "brides" of Christ. The women abstain from other forms of modernity, using only a set of shared flip phones and the internet when necessary for their ministry. More than anything, Stapleton was drawn to this community because of the joy and freedom in the sisters' relationship with the Lord. "I think it connected with that part of me like wanting to express actually how much I do love the Lord," she said. Sister Philomena Clare DeHitta, whose ministry as vocations director is to facilitate the freedom to choose and "articulate the desire to live a radical life," describes their community as unique in spirituality and size. "There are communities that have a more broad apostolate or spirituality that is just easier for women to enter into," she said. "Historically our classes have been small." Some religious communities are more contemplative or cloistered away from the world, while others are active in professions and missions outside of their convents or monasteries. The Franciscan sisters describe themselves as a blend. Although there have been many new communities officially recognized since the Second Vatican Council, CARA's Gaunt describes them as just a "drop in the bucket" when looking at the larger context of decline. "There are new religious communities starting all the time," he said, "and there are older religious communities going out of existence." Student loan debt can be a barrier to a religious vocation To truly begin the journey of becoming a nun, a woman is asked to relinquish worldly possessions, meeting the expectation of poverty. That includes debt, which can be an issue for educated young women today. "Like almost half of all those discerning in the U.S., I'm blocked from my vocation because of student loans," said Katie Power, a graduate of Franciscan University like Stapleton. The 23-year-old from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, is currently an aspirant with the Carmelites of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, in Loretto, Pennsylvania, a cloistered community. Power found support through the Labouré Society, a Catholic nonprofit that helps young women discerning religious life pay off their student loan debt by gathering donations so they may enter their vocation. "It is a beautiful program because if I discern out — I hope I don't — I would take on my loan payments again," Power said. Money for her loans would then be passed to another candidate. Over recent months, Power has shared her call to religious life with church communities and other groups in pursuit of donations that will go toward debt relief. "I was at a Mass on campus at Franciscan and just experienced the most beautiful intimacy with Jesus in the Eucharist," recalled Power, knowing at that moment she wanted to remain in communion with God. "Ultimately, that's the cloistered life." She hopes to be officially debt-free soon, and then join the Carmelites as a postulant in the summer. About half of prospective nuns complete the long process to make final vows On average the full process to become a Catholic sister takes 7 to 10 years. Commonly one enters as a postulant and lives at least part-time with the order. A woman is officially called a sister when she enters the novitiate stage followed by the canonical novitiate, which is a year dedicated to prayer and studying the vows of the order. Then, she makes temporary vows and finally perpetual, or final vows. For Sister Seyram Mary Adzokpa, there was the added challenge of discerning her vocation during a global pandemic. It forced the now 30-year-old millennial to meet members of the Sisters of the Holy Family over video calls. A nurse by training, she made the decision at 27 to join the order without ever visiting the community, a common tradition called a "come and see." In September 2021, she and her family made the trip from Texas to the order in New Orleans. The sisters told her, "If I liked what I saw, I could stay. And if not, I was free to go," Adzokpa said. Nearly three years later, in August, her family returned to the motherhouse to watch her make temporary vows. Just behind the motherhouse sits St. Mary's Academy, a K-12 school run by the order. Across the street the Lafon Nursing Facility of the Holy Family, where a number of aging sisters are cared for. Unlike the Franciscan Sisters, T.O.R., whose median age is 40, the Sisters of the Holy Family, one of the few religious orders founded for Black women in the United States two decades before the Civil War, is among the majority of communities today whose members are on average 80 years old. But the New Orleans order continues accepting new vocations, as prospective members are called, unlike many communities that have had to merge or plan to close. There are three women currently aspiring to join the community, but not all who discern religious life join and not all who join stay. About 50% of all who enter religious life stay for their final vows, according to Sister Debbie Borneman, director of mission integration with the National Religious Vocation Conference. "There's no stigma behind that," she adds. Intergenerational living fosters joy and purpose The Venerable Henriette DeLille and two other women founded the Sisters of the Holy Family in 1837. Today, Adzokpa is one of four women younger than 40 in the community, which welcomes vocations of any race. She is among just 6% of U.S. women religious who are Black, African American and or African. The majority remains Anglo-Caucasian, with 10% Latino, and 13% Asian, Pacific Islander and Hawaiian, according to a 2020 survey from CARA. But the population is slowly changing, following the larger Catholic Church in the U.S. "I think that newer entrants, they value interculturality. And also, I know they value intergenerational living," said Borneman. Mindful of the older members, Adzokpa continues to use her nursing skills. "There was the assumption that going into the convent, you would lose your career," she said. "However, that was not the case. I guess that's kind of why you find where you can serve with your gifts." As a novice she would wake each morning around 5 a.m. After personal prayers, Adzokpa quietly walks the second floor of the motherhouse, softly knocking on the doors of a handful of sisters, calling out their names and offering her assistance. She continued her ministry after clearing breakfast trays, taking the sisters' blood pressure, or checking heart rates, all in collaboration with the paid nursing staff. "I truly find it God's grace that I'm able to not feel isolated, even though the age gap is tremendous," said Adzokpa with a gentle smile. "I enjoy sitting with them, talking with them, easing their aches and pains and just being around them. It's fulfilling." The sister seemed to carry that smile everywhere she went. She wore it while picking figs in the yard and swimming in the pool. And as the sun shone down on her through the stained-glass windows at morning Mass. "The joy is undeniable," she said. "I made a deal with Jesus. I said, OK, 'I love being here. However, if this joy, if this smile starts to dissipate, I don't know if I'm going to continue here.' And he has been faithful."
If things finally settle, a purchase by Pakistan of 40 advanced J-35A stealth fighter jets from China could be a game-changing deal. If a final agreement is reached, it would make Pakistan the only operator of these fifth-generation multi-role aircraft other than China. The deal would also constitute an initial export of Beijing’s most advanced military jets. The J-35A is the second fifth-generation stealth fighter in China for air superiority and multi-mission use. The twin-engine jet, designed with a combination of air-land-sea operations in mind, is an advanced aircraft close to the U.S.-made F-35. Reports said it would be this very warplane technology that would be used to replace Pakistan’s old fleet of F-16s and Mirage jets. According to the South China Morning Post, Pakistan’s Air Force has already approved the acquisition. If finalized, China is expected to deliver all 40 jets within two years. With its defense industry primed for mass production, Beijing does not rely on foreign components for the J-35A. Did you know? Pakistan will be the first and only country in the world, apart from China, to possess a squadron of the stealth J-35 multi-role fighter jets. This would dramatically strengthen Pakistan’s air defense and shift the regional power balance. But it also raises questions about Islamabad’s financial capability. Amid a deep economic crisis and reliance on IMF and World Bank bailouts, experts speculate that China may offer another loan to fund the deal. Pakistan already owes substantial debt to Beijing, which has modernized its military over the years. Top Chinese military brass, including General Zhang Youxia, paid a visit to Pakistan for closed-door talks with Army Chief General Asim Munir. The discussions reportedly focused on regional security and ways to increase bilateral defense cooperation. While seemingly keen, there is still sovereignty on the cards. Pressure by China to deploy security forces in Pakistan, especially along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, has been debated. Beijing has kept mum on the deal, but its possible approval may have significant geopolitical implications.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani wins his third MVP and first in the NL following a historic offensive season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.Microchip Technology to Present at the UBS Global Technology and AI ConferenceGoogle on Monday showed off a new quantum computing chip that it said was a major breakthrough that could bring practical quantum computing closer to reality. A custom chip called "Willow" does in minutes what it would take leading supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete, according to Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven. "Written out, there is a 1 with 25 zeros," Neven said of the time span while briefing journalists. "A mind-boggling number." Neven's team of about 300 people at Google is on a mission to build quantum computing capable of handling otherwise unsolvable problems like safe fusion power and stopping climate change. "We see Willow as an important step in our journey to build a useful quantum computer with practical applications in areas like drug discovery, fusion energy, battery design and more," said Google CEO Sundar Pichai on X. A quantum computer that can tackle these challenges is still years away, but Willow marks a significant step in that direction, according to Neven and members of his team. While still in its early stages, scientists believe that superfast quantum computing will eventually be able to power innovation in a range of fields. Quantum research is seen as a critical field and both the United States and China have been investing heavily in the area, while Washington has also placed restrictions on the export of the sensitive technology. Olivier Ezratty, an independent expert in quantum technologies, told AFP in October that private and public investment in the field has totaled around $20 billion worldwide over the past five years. Regular computers function in binary fashion: they carry out tasks using tiny fragments of data known as bits that are only ever either expressed as 1 or 0. But fragments of data on a quantum computer, known as qubits, can be both 1 and 0 at the same time -- allowing them to crunch an enormous number of potential outcomes simultaneously. Crucially, Google's chip demonstrated the ability to reduce computational errors exponentially as it scales up -- a feat that has eluded researchers for nearly 30 years. The breakthrough in error correction, published in leading science journal Nature, showed that adding more qubits to the system actually reduced errors rather than increasing them -- a fundamental requirement for building practical quantum computers. Error correction is the "end game" in quantum computing and Google is "confidently progressing" along the path, according to Google director of quantum hardware Julian Kelly.Video showing an Ohio delivery driver realize that she had been given a very generous tip has gone viral. See the moment captured by Ring doorbell camera in the video player above. The act of kindness was caught on Ring camera , and the driver and the woman who started it all were reunited. When Lisa Burnett delivered a grocery order to a home in the Springboro neighborhood, she never imagined it would change her life. But it did, and it all started with a tip. During the holiday season, Kelly Schilling said she likes to randomly gift people with generous tips. On Saturday, she decided to give Lisa a $100 tip. Lisa thought it might have been a mistake and drove all the way back to Kelly’s home the next day. That’s when the two women shared an emotional moment, after Kelly told Lisa that the tip was a holiday gift. A few years ago, Lisa’s daughter passed away. She is now raising her granddaughter and has been doing deliveries to provide for them. She had just filed for public housing assistance, but after the video of the interaction went viral, Lisa got more support than she could ever imagine. “This became so popular because they loved her story,” Schilling said. “They loved the sincerity of it. I mean, she could have easily just taken the money and never said anything about it, right? But she didn't. And so, within hours, there were probably 5,000 comments.” Lisa said before the moment, she did not have many clothes, or even a winter coat. Now, she does, and she credits this experience as the reason. “I realized I just met an angel in person,” Burnett said. “I've got chills thinking about it now.” As the video went viral, a GoFundMe account was set up for Lisa, with the video seen by millions of people on social media. By Friday afternoon, nearly $40,000 had been raised and the total was continuing to climb. To donate and learn more, click here .
