Meet the world's first (and only) cat and mouse armourer (National Geographic UK)

Artist Jeff de Boer has designed and crafted tiny museum-quality armour for decades. How did he find his calling? “It all started with a mouse,” he says.

Here’s how they work.](/science-and-technology/2022/12/cancer-vaccines-are-showing-promise-heres-how-they-work) [Are cures for some of the world’s deadliest diseases hiding in our sewers?](/science-and-technology/2022/12/are-cures-for-some-of-the-worlds-deadliest-diseases-hiding-in-our-sewers) [Food allergies are on the rise—but new treatments are on the horizon](/science-and-technology/2022/12/food-allergies-are-on-the-rise-but-new-treatments-are-on-the-horizon) [‘Alien’ minerals never found on Earth identified in meteorite](/science-and-technology/2022/12/alien-minerals-never-found-on-earth-identified-in-meteorite) [When should you eat? It’s just as important as what you eat.](/science-and-technology/2022/12/when-should-you-eat-its-just-as-important-as-what-you-eat) De Boer stresses that his work is not intended to be worn by living animals, describing the first and last time he was asked to dress a cat in armour. “Would they have the same reaction, ask the same questions?” he muses. De Boer is currently working on a commission from an Indian-Polish couple that combines elements of 17th-century armour from both the Indian “Something I would never think to do,” he concedes, “but it's exciting because you have these two cultures, and you are doing the research and you discover they're both contemporary.” He also occasionally creates armour for other species, like the samurai dog helmet commissioned by a police officer to capture the “warrior spirit” of his retired four-legged partner. “And then it dawned on me: I could make a suit of armour for a mouse,” he recalls. It can take 40 hours just to make the roughly 5 to 10 custom tools needed to create a particular style of mouse armour, then an additional 30-50 hours to create each mouse. Once de Boer determines the culture and timeframe for an armour project, he conducts extensive research on armament styles of the time, then draws the concept by hand. “I think that at a very early age children recognise armour as something interesting, and for me it was really haunting,” the 59-year-old artist recalls. "Armour is political and militaristic, but also used in parade and pageantry," says the artist about his fascination with armour.

Genome Spotlight: Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) (The Scientist)

A high-quality reference genome for this vulnerable feline may help scientists understand why they're so prone to transitional cell carcinoma in captivity.

Now, they may finally have the tools to reveal these mysteries: A Chinese research team has put together a chromosome-level reference genome for the species as well as designed an efficient gene-editing system that can tinker with that genome, according to a study published December 20 in However, the variants were also present in half of the control cats, so the team was unable to conclude the variants are responsible for the animals’ heightened TCC risk. The team also employed their gene editing system to explore coloration in the moths; knocking out the gene pale resulted in lighter moths, while knocking out ebony led to darker cuticles. [shed light](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bies.202200188?af=R) on mysteries in human health. And that’s what allowed scientists to notice at least one threat to the animals in captivity: [cancer](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1354/vp.43-5-674). “The genomic resources reported here will enable further studies of the genomic mechanisms underlying calcareous rock specialization and the evolution of transposable element content across molluscs.” To gain a better understanding of how this species adapted to its carbonate-rich environment, researchers assembled the snail’s 5.4 Gb genome from PacBio long reads and 10x Genomics linked reads. They first searched for the cat’s version of eight human genes associated with bladder cancer, observing missense variants of four of those genes in the TCC group—BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, and ATM. Armyworm moths were given the odd moniker because they have a tendency so spread out in a line and eat their way across grassy habitats—a behavior that can make them a devastating agricultural pest in Asia and Australia. Researchers suspected that their vulnerability to the disease may have a genetic basis, as breeding populations are founded with relatively few animals and, therefore, can have low genetic diversity. But BRCA2 stood out, as the team found two missense variants of it in all of the TCC-afflicted animals. In captivity, they start playing in water as young as two months old, and when fully grown, about three-quarters of their diet comes from fish.

This handsome little house panther will win you over in no time at all. Apollo was born around March 2022 and was rescued from a difficult yard situation ...

When playtime is over, Apollo loves nothing more than to curl up on a lap for cuddles and pets, where he will reward you with lots and lots of purrs. He is still a playful kitten and would do best with another kitten of similar age, or a young cat for company and lots of romping. He craves human attention and loves to play, pretending to prey on his feline buddies and his humans.

In Chandigarh, the top MBA College is teh Universal Business School, which is part of Punjab University. There are currently 20 IIMs in India and nearly 6000 seats are offered by these institutes. An official press release by Dr Ashis Mishra, CAT convener for 2022, said that in India among the top 60 rank holders, only four were women. Hirdesh Madan, co-founder of Hitbullseye (earlier known as Bulls Eye), a coaching institute for CAT in Chandigarh said, “The results being declared so early this year was totally unexpected. It would be the first time that the result of an examination has been declared 20 days before its scheduled date. One of the toppers from the Tricity, Sagaljit Singh, who scored 99.76 percentile, said, “I have been preparing for CAT from the sixth semester of my college.

CAT 2022: 2 Ludhiana lads make it to the 99.89 percentile club (Hindustan Times)

Aashrey Jain topped Ludhiana district with 99.89 percentile, Nilesh Bansal bagged the 2nd spot with 99.87; this was the 2nd attempt for both of them.

He said that he wishes to pursue master in business administration (MBA) in finance from IIM Ahmedabad. An engineering graduate from NIT Jalandhar, Nilesh Bansal secured the second position in Ludhiana district with 99.87 percentile. “As marks obtained in graduation also play a role in admission to IIMs, I worked hard and got 88.9% in my final-year examinations. But, by attempting regular mock tests and through routine self-assessment, I was able to score well in all components,” he said They have both been a constant source of inspiration for me,” said Jain, while adding that he received coaching from a city-based institute. He completed his Bcom from Sri Aurobindo College of Commerce and Management (SACCM) in Ludhiana this year.
