The XE strain was first detected in the UK on January 19 this year and till then over 600 cases have been reported. The <keyword id="43588" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="world-health-organization" source="Orion">World Health Organization</keyword> said that it is a recombination of both BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron strains. The WHO further said that the transmission rate of this new variant is 10% faster than that of BA.2, which makes it the fastest transmissible mutant. “Early-day estimates indicate a community growth rate advantage of about 10% as compared to BA.2, however, this finding requires further confirmation,” said WHO in a statement. Earlier, Omicron was known to be the fastest transmitting mutation. However, to confirm this, WHO said that they require more facts and studies. The world health body has also kept this strain under the Omicron variant until any new major differences are established in terms of transmission, severity, or characteristics. However, on the other hand, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), which tracks the COVID cases, has analysed three recombinants — XF, XE, and XD. It further informed that XD and XF are recombinants of Delta and Omicron BA.1, while XE is a recombinant of Omicron BA.1 and BA.2. Recombination of variants happens only when a person gets infected with two or more variants at the same time, which further leads to the mixing of genetic material in the body. “The earliest of these has a specimen date of 19 January 2022. There is currently insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about growth advantage or other properties of this variant,” said UKHSA in a statement. Further commenting on the severity of the XE variant, WHO said, “XE continues to belong to the Omicron variant until significant differences in transmission and disease characteristics, including severity, may be reported.” WHO further said that they continue to closely monitor and assess the public health risk which are associated with the recombined variants and will also provide updates if further evidence is recorded. The new mutation has emerged when most countries are removing the COVID-19 restrictions and are reporting a decline in the daily number of cases. The third wave of the pandemic was triggered by the Omicron variant, which was comparatively less severe than the Delta variant, where people were largely suffering from normal cold, cough, and fever.

The new XE mutant of the COVID-19 pandemic – all you need to know about it

By Paul Griffin, The University of Queensland It seems every few weeks we hear about a new COVID variant, and it's hard to know how concerned we ought to be. A "recombinant" variant has emerged, dubbed "<keyword id="1609796" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="omicron" source="Orion">Omicron</keyword> XE", which is the result of two omicron strains merging together in a single host and then going on to infect others. So what do we know about this new hybrid, and do we need to worry? A bit about Omicron and its variants Omicron is a variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that was first discovered in Botswana on November 11 2021 and designated a variant of concern by the WHO on November 26. Since this time, it has been transmitted worldwide and replaced <keyword id="13452822" type="COMPANY" weightage="50" keywordseo="delta" source="Orion" meta.marketcap="5.23121" meta.tagname="Delta Industrial Resources Ltd" meta.tagpopularcount="0" meta.sectorid="542" meta.entitytype="company" meta.matchtype="exact" meta.aum="0" meta.entityid="2207" meta.tagseoname="delta-industrial-resources-ltd" meta.sector="Miscellaneous" meta.tagnameorg="Delta Industrial Resources Ltd.">Delta</keyword> to become the dominant variant. Omicron has since continued to evolve to have multiple different lineages, or genetically related subvariants. This includes the original Omicron BA.1 (B.1.1.529) and also BA.2 and BA.3. BA.2 is more infectious than BA.1 and has now taken over or outcompeted BA.1 to become the new dominant form of the SARS-CoV-2 virus worldwide, with the WHO officially announcing this to be the case on March 22 2022. The differences we have seen with Omicron relative to previous variants are explained by the relatively large number of mutations it has acquired, with 60 mutations not found in the original virus arising from Wuhan, <keyword id="1334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="china" source="Orion">China</keyword>. Among these mutations are 32 genetic changes in the spike protein. The spike protein is the part of the virus it uses to attach to human cells, as well as the target of the immune response against the virus, from both vaccines and prior infection. BA.2 shares many of these same mutations as the original Omicron variant, but also has 28 unique genetic changes of its own. Four of these genetic changes are in the spike protein, which explains why some of its characteristics are different to the original Omicron variant (BA.1), including the fact it appears to be approximately 30 to 50% more infectious than BA.1. What's a 'recombinant'? Just as we have seen new variants arise, followed by the evolution of subvariants or different lineages, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has continued to change in other ways as well. In recent times we have seen not just spontaneous changes in the genetic code that have accounted for the changes described above, but also so-called recombinants. A recombinant is where related viruses exchange genetic material to create offspring with genetic material from both parent viruses. This can arise when viruses of two different strains (or variants or subvariants) co-infect the same cell. The genetic material of the viruses can get mixed and packaged together to make a new recombinant virus, with properties of either or both parent viruses. The properties of the recombinant virus therefore depend on which parts of the genetic material from the parent viruses make it into the new version - just like you might have your mum's nose and your dad's knees. When Delta and Omicron recombine, the resulting progeny have been referred to as "Deltacron" (although more officially these are referred to as XD and XF). This type of recombinant was first identified in France in mid-February and seems to have a genetic sequence mostly the same as Delta, but with aspects of the spike protein from Omicron BA.1. So what is XE and where is it spreading? XE is a recombination of BA.1 and BA.2. There are many other BA.1 and BA.2 recombinants, including XQ in the UK, XG from Denmark, XJ from Finland and XK from Belgium. While XE still comprises a small proportion of total sequenced cases, it has shown evidence of community transmission, at least within England where it was first detected in mid-January. There have now been just over 1,100 cases recorded. It has also been identified in <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>, China and Thailand. Initially the growth rate for XE appeared to not be significantly different from BA.2, but more recent data from the UK suggests it has a growth rate of around 10 to 20% above that of BA.2. This data remains preliminary and based on small numbers, so may change as we get more information. If it is true, then this means XE is likely to be slightly more contagious than BA.2, which was slightly more contagious than BA.1, which was more contagious than Delta. Do we need to worry? Our immune response that helps to protect against COVID-19 is generated by vaccination or from previous infection, and it mostly targets the spike protein. Given XE basically has the same spike protein as BA.2, it doesn't appear our protection against XE will be significantly reduced. While this is something public health agencies and expert groups certainly should monitor, and they are, it isn't really something that is unexpected given the number of cases we continue to see worldwide. So it shouldn't be a cause of extra concern for the general public. The best way to slow the emergence of new variants, as well as recombinants, remains having as many people in the world protected by vaccination to reduce the pool of susceptible hosts in which these events can occur.

For some reason, Asus has decided to place the Type-C ports on the right and the Type-A port on the left. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED display" comment="subhead" text="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED display">Asus Zenbook 14 OLED display</cmsannotation> The display is one of the highlights of the device and it is what makes it a great option for content creators and designers. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="91892538" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus Zenbook 14 OLED display.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED features a 14-inch 2.8K OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, 16:10 aspect ratio and HDR support. The laptop comes with slim bezels on the side and offers a 90% screen-to-body ratio. As mentioned earlier, the laptop is a good option for content creators as it comes with Pantone validation for colour accuracy and is TUV Rheinland certified for safety and quality standards. It offers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, ensuring proper colour accuracy. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED keyboard and trackpad" comment="subhead" text="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED keyboard and trackpad">Asus Zenbook 14 OLED keyboard and trackpad</cmsannotation> The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED comes with the company’s ErgoLift hinge that slightly raises the keyboard when you open the laptop, allowing you to type comfortably. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="91892556" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus Zenbook 14 OLED keyboard and trackpad.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It features an edge-to-edge keyboard which the keys offer a 1.4mm key travel. The keyboard is backlit and comes with a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button which allows you to easily unlock the device. I used the device to type a lot of content and found that it offers a good experience. The slight elevation by the hinge does make it a bit easier to type. If you are someone who types a lot like me, you will have no issues using the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED. The trackpad comes with the company’s NumberPad 2.0 design. The touchpad comes with a number pad integrated in it, which can be enabled with the press of a button. This allows you to quickly enter numbers, making it suitable for users who have to enter a lot of numbers. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED performance" comment="subhead" text="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED performance">Asus Zenbook 14 OLED performance</cmsannotation> The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is available in two variants – i5 12th gen and i7 12th gen. I used the i7 12th gen variant with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of PCIe NVMe 4.0 SSD and Intel Iris Xe graphics. Performance is one of the laptop’s strongest points. The laptop is equipped with top-end hardware and that reflected when I used it. The laptop is able to easily handle several chrome windows and tabs open at once and switching between apps is a breeze. Like the Zenbook 14X Space Edition, the major drawback of the Zenbook 14 OLED is the lack of a dedicated graphics card. It is equipped with the Intel Iris Xe. While the card cannot compete with dedicated graphics, we were able to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on low settings without any issues. If you are someone who wishes to play games in your free time, keep in mind that the Zenbook 14 OLED will be able to handle only basic games. It will not be able to run any of the recent AAA titles. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED benchmarks" comment="subhead" text="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED benchmarks">Asus Zenbook 14 OLED benchmarks</cmsannotation> As expected, the Asus Zenbook 14 fared well in benchmarks, thanks to its powerful hardware. <div type="image" title="composite_16539069826311" msid="91892616" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus Zenbook 14 OLED benchmark scores.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop scored 1616 points on the single-core Geekbench 5 test and 8,013 points on the multi-core test. In the PCMark 10 test, the Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition scored 9,839 in Essentials, 7,121 in Productivity and 6,526 in Digital Content Creation. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED battery life" comment="subhead" text="Asus Zenbook 14 OLED battery life">Asus Zenbook 14 OLED battery life</cmsannotation> The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is equipped with a 75WHRs battery that offers around 9-10 hours of usage on a single charge. I used the laptop for browsing, watched a few YouTube videos and played a few rounds of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, getting around 9 hours of use. The laptop comes with 65W charging support that fully charges the laptop in around 2 hours. The laptop is a good option for you if you travel a lot because you can easily get all your work done without needing to plug it in. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is a great option if you are a professional or a student looking for a premium laptop. The laptop ticks all the boxes in terms of design, display, performance and battery. The lack of a dedicated graphics card may be a letdown for some users but it is expected from a lightweight notebook.

Education at schools has evolved over the years and is no longer limited to books. While a few schools have been using online education as a tool to share additional information, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced all schools to adopt online education. Many schools are still either using online education or offering a hybrid model where students are required to attend offline classes for a few days and online classes for the remaining time, which may become the new normal. Apart from the pandemic, another reason for the continued use of online education is the lower investment required for infrastructure and the ability to access the best teachers from across the country right from home. It’s not just schools but also skill enhancement courses offered online at an affordable price. The government has also been pushing for online education through its “Digital India” and “Skill India” programs. A laptop is one of the most important things that school students need for online education. If you are a parent looking for a good laptop for your children, we recommend going with an Intel-powered laptop, as it is known to be reliable and offers good performance and support. Intel is the biggest player in the chipset market and Intel-powered devices offer excellent performance and value, making it the ideal option for users looking for a laptop for school. The top laptop companies such as Dell, HP and Asus extensively use Intel chipsets in their devices as it is the preferred chipset by students and professionals alike due to the performance offered by the company’s chipsets. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Laptop" comment="subhead" text="Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Laptop">Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Laptop</cmsannotation> The <a href="https://www.dell.com/en-in/shop/laptops-2-in-1-pcs/inspiron-15-3000-laptop/spd/inspiron-15-3511-laptop/d560749win9s?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=cpm&amp;utm_campaign=businessinsider1educationq32022">Dell Inspiron 15 3000</a> is a good option if you are looking for a <keyword id="15101001" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="laptop-for-school-students" source="Orion">laptop for school students</keyword>.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Recently, more celebrities have openly come out as non-binary, trans, and gender variant.</li><li>"<keyword id="252579" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="They" source="Orion">They</keyword>" is the most commonly known gender-neutral pronoun, but options like xe, fae, and ve also exist.</li></ul>In recent years, more celebrities have openly come out as non-binary, trans, and gender variant, including <a href="https://www.insider.com/janelle-monae-polyamorous-its-not-surprising-2023-6">Janelle Monáe</a>, <a href="https://www.insider.com/elliot-page-transgender-he-they-pronouns-2020-12">Elliot Page</a> and Kehlani. According to a 2022<a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2022/06/07/the-experiences-challenges-and-hopes-of-transgender-and-nonbinary-u-s-adults/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Pew Research survey</a>, more trans and non-binary people are living openly. Some 1.6% of U.S. adults are nonbinary or trans, and one in five people say "they know someone who doesn't identify as a man or woman."In 2019, Merriam-Webster dictionary named the singular, <a href="https://www.insider.com/merriam-webster-they-word-of-year-nonbinary-gender-lgbtq-transgender-2019-12">gender-neutral pronoun "they"</a> word of the year out of a growing awareness around gender-neutral <keyword id="1058690" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="pronouns" source="Orion">pronouns</keyword>. Here is a guide to using pronouns correctly. <h2>What pronouns are out there beyond 'she' and 'he'? </h2>She and he are the most standard English pronouns people of all ages know, typically associated respectively with women and men. Non-binary people — <a href="https://www.insider.com/janelle-monae-what-does-non-binary-mean-2020-1">people who identify neither as man nor woman</a> — can use these pronouns and still be non-binary, but an array of other gender-neutral pronouns exist. <a href="https://www.insider.com/merriam-webster-they-word-of-year-nonbinary-gender-lgbtq-transgender-2019-12">They/them pronouns</a> can singularly be used to refer to one person. In the same way someone refers to a person they don't know by the gender of 'they.' For example, "I think they will come back for this lost wallet."While they/them pronouns are the most commonly known gender-neutral pronouns, others exist as well.<a href="https://neopronounfaq.tumblr.com/post/185595241964/guide-to-faefaer-pronouns">Fae/faer/faers</a> pronouns (fae is my friend), <a href="https://uwm.edu/lgbtrc/support/gender-pronouns/#:~:text=She%2Fher%2Fhers%20and%20he,a%20few%20commonly%20used%20pronouns.&amp;text=Ze%20is%20pronounced%20like%20%E2%80%9Czee,%2Fhis%2Fthey%2Ftheirs.">Xe/xem/xyer</a>s (xe is my teacher), <a href="https://uwm.edu/lgbtrc/support/gender-pronouns/#:~:text=She%2Fher%2Fhers%20and%20he,a%20few%20commonly%20used%20pronouns.&amp;text=Ze%20is%20pronounced%20like%20%E2%80%9Czee,%2Fhis%2Fthey%2Ftheirs.">ze/hir/hirs</a> (ze is my partner), and <a href="https://uwm.edu/lgbtrc/support/gender-pronouns/#:~:text=She%2Fher%2Fhers%20and%20he,a%20few%20commonly%20used%20pronouns.&amp;text=Ze%20is%20pronounced%20like%20%E2%80%9Czee,%2Fhis%2Fthey%2Ftheirs.">ve/ver/vis</a> (ve loves to run) are just a few of the options out there. These pronouns can be traced back to 1972, but there is some evidence that gender-neutral English pronouns emerged as early as the 1700s, <a href="https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/25/705317#:~:text=Unfortunately%2C%20the%20OED%20missed%20that,which%20floats%20around%20the%20internet.">according to Dennis Baron, Professor of English at the University of Illinois</a>. They later circulated more widely on platforms like Tumblr in the early 2010s. <a href="https://uwm.edu/lgbtrc/support/gender-pronouns/#:~:text=She%2Fher%2Fhers%20and%20he,a%20few%20commonly%20used%20pronouns.&amp;text=Ze%20is%20pronounced%20like%20%E2%80%9Czee,%2Fhis%2Fthey%2Ftheirs.">According to the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee</a>, the reason why so many pronoun options exist is because for a long time, there were no official pronouns that acknowledged the existence of non-binary people, leaving many people to create their own. There is no singular way to look non-binary, trans, or any gender, so these pronouns can be used by anyone, regardless of gender presentation. The pronoun also does not dictate someone's gender identity, as some non-binary people may use pronouns most people consider binary like "she" or "he."<h2>What if someone says they use 'rolling' pronouns?</h2>Some people may wonder why some people sign their email signatures with multiple pronouns, like he/they. This is because the person uses "rolling pronouns." People may use multiple pronouns for a number of reasons. Sometimes gender-fluid individuals might want to use different pronouns on different days <a href="https://everydayfeminism.com/2014/03/too-queer-for-your-binary/">depending on how they are feeling about their identity.</a>Others may prefer for people to constantly switch their pronouns in a sentence, like "She is upset because their mom didn't call," (she and they are the same person). Because gender is a spectrum and people can feel like multiple or no genders, <a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/how">rolling pronouns might feel more comfortable than a singular one</a>. <h2>Why are pronouns so important?</h2>The reason it's so important to <a href="https://www.edi.nih.gov/blog/communities/what-are-gender-pronouns-why-do-they-matter">honor someone's pronouns</a> is because it acknowledges their humanity. <keyword id="11918053" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Transgender" source="Orion">Transgender</keyword> and non-binary people already suffer <a href="https://transequality.org/issues/housing-homelessness">disproportionate rates of homelessness</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/30-transgender-people-have-been-killed-in-2020-highest-record-2020-10">are at risk of violence.</a> Those who are misgendered more often also suffer <a href="https://www.childtrends.org/blog/research-shows-the-risk-of-misgendering-transgender-youth">worse rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideations. </a>Taking the time to practice someone's pronouns and respecting their identity can make a huge difference in a trans or gender-nonconforming person's day.
