Residents in Yemassee, South Carolina, are on alert after 43 rhesus macaque monkeys escaped from Alpha Genesis, a research facility specialising in primate breeding for medical testing. The escape occurred after a keeper accidentally left the pen door open, and the monkeys took advantage, bolting into the nearby wooded area of the Lowcountry. Now, authorities are urging residents to secure their homes and report any sightings of these clever fugitives. Each of the escaped macaques is a young female, weighing around 7 pounds (3.2 kg), according to the Yemassee Police Department. Although generally not dangerous, police advise against approaching the animals. Officers and Alpha Genesis staff are working around the clock to bring the primates back safely, using food to lure them and even deploying thermal imaging cameras to track their movements. “It’s really like follow-the-leader,” Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard explained, noting that 43 of the group’s 50 monkeys rushed out the door. The team remains hopeful for a quick recapture, though rain has made tracking more challenging. Westergaard noted that while the monkeys are finding some food in the woods, the lack of their favourite treat — apples — may eventually lead them back to their enclosure. “We’re hoping they return on their own,” he told reporters. Local Congresswoman Nancy Mace also addressed the situation, assuring residents that her office is actively gathering information to keep constituents informed. Despite the unusual nature of the escape, police reassure the public there’s “almost no danger” from these monkeys, who have yet to undergo any testing or disease exposure. The escape of 43 monkeys from Alpha Genesis Inc., a biomedical research facility in South Carolina, has stirred up a lively response online, with a mixture of humour, concern, and criticism. Many internet users were quick to draw parallels to the "<keyword id="178912" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="planet-of-the-apes" source="Orion">Planet of the Apes</keyword>" film series, jokingly suggesting that the monkeys might be starting a rebellion. Another meta user advised residents against helping the facility as they would be required to “euthanise each animal they recapture in order to protect the existing number of research primates from outside diseases, pathogens, etc.” Most rejoiced that the animals had escaped abuse. The incident isn’t the first of its kind for Alpha Genesis. In 2016, 19 monkeys escaped but were recaptured within hours, and 26 more had made a break for it two years prior. Residents of Yemassee — a small town with a population of under 1,100 — are eagerly awaiting the outcome. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="106962913" title="Scientists manage to clone world&amp;#39;s first healthy rhesus monkey!" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

Support has been provided for an increase of 4,977 MBBS seats in 83 colleges with an approved cost of Rs 5,972.20 crore, 4,058 PG seats in phase-I in 72 colleges with an approved cost of Rs 1,498.43 crore and 4,000 PG seats in phase-II in 65 colleges with an approved cost of Rs 4,478.25 crore. Besides, under "upgradation of government medical colleges by construction of super specialty blocks" component of Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), 75 projects have been approved, of which 66 projects are complete. Under the Central Sector Scheme for setting up of new AIIMS, 22 AIIMS have been approved and undergraduate courses have started in 19 of these. Also, DNB qualification has been recognised for appointment as teaching faculty, to take care of shortage of faculty and there has been enhancement of age limit for appointment, extension or re-employment against posts of teachers/dean/principal/ director in medical colleges up to 70 years. <h2>Claims of Indians being unfit "extrapolated" </h2>Furthermore, Union Health Minister J P Nadda told the Lok Sabha today that WHO's recent report stating that half of India's adult population is physically unfit relied on data collected only from three states and one UT, and the results were extrapolated through a modelling technique indicating inbuilt methodological issues. Responding to a question, Nadda said the WHO defines 'sufficient physical activity' as 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activities per week (brisk walk, lifting light load etc.) or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity per week (running, digging, construction work, outdoor games etc.). The activity level so quantified is based on a self-reported response to questions about physical activity lasting at least for 10 minutes. The National NCD Monitoring Survey of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) 2020 has assessed, inter alia, physical activity amongst Indian adults and found that 58.7% had conformed to the WHO recommendations, Nadda told the Lok Sabha.

Finalising the rules of origin for the <keyword id="6359358" type="General" weightage="70" keywordseo="medical-devices" source="Orion">medical devices</keyword> sector remains a sticking-point in the proposed free-trade agreement (FTA) between India and the UK and the talks are on to iron out the differences, an official said. Huge potential is there in the medical devices sector in India, as it imports about 80 per cent of its requirement, with the US, Germany, China, Singapore and Netherlands being top exporters of such devices to the country. "In the medical devices sector, a lot of issues related to rules of origin are still there. Demand for customs duty concessions is also there," the official said, adding negotiations are going on between the two countries to resolve the differences in both goods and services sectors. The government has taken steps to promote domestic manufacturing of medical devices/equipment and attract large investment in the sector. Such schemes/initiatives include Promotion of Medical Device Parks, National Biopharma Mission, and a production-linked Incentive scheme for the sector. The six major categories of medical devices that are being mainly imported into the country include consumables, disposables, electronics and equipment, implants, IVD reagent and surgical instruments. The 'rules of origin' provision prescribes minimal processing that should happen in the FTA country, so that the final manufactured product may be called originating goods in that country. Under this provision, a country that has inked an FTA with India cannot dump goods from some third country in the Indian market by just putting a label on it. It has to undertake a prescribed value addition in that product to export to India. Rules of origin norms help contain dumping of goods. According to experts, India should refrain from giving duty concessions, as the government here is promoting domestic manufacturing of these devices. "India can consider giving relaxations for those equipment which are not manufactured in India," Rajinder Singh Kanwar from Export Promotion Council For Medical Devices said. The negotiations between the two countries for the agreement cover as many as 26 policy areas/chapters. Investment is being negotiated as a separate agreement (bilateral investment treaty) between India and the UK and it would be concluded simultaneously with the free-trade agreement. India is looking at greater market access for its pharmaceutical products in the UK, as part of the proposed agreement with Britain, the official added. India has already secured greater market access for the domestic pharma industry in a trade pact with the UAE. Under the pact, Indian pharmaceutical products and medical goods will get regulatory approval within 90 days that have been approved in developed jurisdictions such as the US, the UK, the EU, Canada, and Australia. Similarly, the India-Australia trade deal would provide fast-track approvals and quality assessment/inspections of manufacturing facilities. "In pharma, we are looking at a positive outcome from the India-UK deal. Regulatory cooperation with the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency is also on the cards," the official said. India and Britain launched negotiations for the free-trade agreement (FTA) in January with an aim to conclude talks by Diwali (October 24), but the deadline was missed due to political developments in the UK. India's main exports to the UK include ready-made garments and textiles, gems and jewellery, engineering goods, petroleum and petrochemical products, transport equipment and parts, spices, metal products, machinery and instruments, pharma and marine items. Major imports include precious and semi-precious stones, ores and metal scraps, engineering goods, professional instruments, non-ferrous metals, chemicals and machinery. The UK is also a key investor in India. The bilateral trade between India and the UK increased to USD 20.36 billion in 2022-23 from USD 17.5 billion in 2021-22.

"Thunberg is shown yelling: 'HOW DARE YOU...USE PLASTIC BAGS?? WE NEED TO SAVE THE WORLD!' "Another was a tweet that read: "Anti-Israel protesters brought a combined Palestine/LGBTQ+ flag to the demonstration in Brooklyn, New York City today to show the solidarity between the queer community and Palestine," and Neel included the caption, "Talk about an oxymoron…," according to the lawsuit.An attorney for Neel, Milton Williams, said in a statement, "It is a travesty that after a stellar career fighting the battle against cancer, a long-tenured and world-renowned research scientist can be unceremoniously duped.""We believe Dr. Neel is the first person to lose their job and have their reputations besmirched for re-posting content on his private social media account that challenged those individuals who are seemingly celebrating the death of innocent people in Israel," Williams said.

Rooney, <a href="http://insider.com/who-is-uncle-chris-tiktok-star-famous-yeet-baby-videos-2023-8">better known as Uncle Chris</a>, is a creator on TikTok best known for his videos with his young niece and nephew. The account, Yeet Baby, has 5.7 million followers, and was set up in January 2020.Rooney, his niece Marleigh, and his nephew Jack quickly charmed the internet by making a mess while trying to pour juice, soda, and other drinks. One of the most popular videos, in which the children pour chocolate milk all over the table and themselves, has <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theyeeetbaby/video/7187090384978218282?_r=1&amp;_t=8egqhdilDqi" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">been viewed over 87 million times</a>.Rooney shared an update with his 263,000 Instagram followers on Wednesday, saying he wanted to give them a "life update.""Let me just kick the door off by saying they diagnosed me with bipolar type 1," he said. "That basically means I have manic episodes. I have been medicated for about a month and a half. So the craziness you've been seeing lately — that's just me, baby. I've been like that for a long time." Rooney went missing in July after watching the child-sex-trafficking movie "Sound of Freedom," his family said in an Instagram a few days later.

"I hate sitting for that long but it's been good. It helps me."Rooney said he had been getting questions from viewers about when he was going to make more Yeet Baby content. He said that he was so busy right now that he didn't have time."It's not over, it's just kind of, you know, everyone's very busy," he said. "I still see the children, I just haven't been filming videos."He asked for some recommendations for what he could do with his time when the program ended in three weeks. He said he had been looking into joining the Marine Corps, or being an Amazon driver, among other things."I need structure in my life or else I self-destruct," he said.Rooney also shared a message for his followers in the caption, telling them, "If you're suffering from mental illness never be afraid to seek help!"
