While speaking on the prevailing pandemic situation, Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said that as a Government, all that could be done to control the spread of the virus has been done. The Minister further stressed to the media yesterday (10) that it is now up to the people to act responsibly and urged the public to support the Government to eradicate Covid-19.

Vaccines are largely aimed at the spike protein, which covers the outer surface of the COVID virus. However, these rare T-cells were able to look inside the virus and find the proteins that are necessary for it to replicate. It means targeting these proteins with a vaccine could give some protection against all coronaviruses and new COVID variants. Dr Alexander Edwards, from the University of Reading, said: “Insights from this study could be critical in the design of a different type of vaccine. “Hopefully this study will lead to further advances in vaccine development, as we need all the types of vaccine we can get.”Source: BBC-Agencies

Let’s discuss the definition of a “secure email server,” its pros and cons, and how to set one up. The main difference between a regular email and a secure email server is the level of protection: Secure email servers have additional security features that take time and effort to set up, but are more likely to stand up against hackers and bad actors than traditional email servers. To simplify matters, the actual act of using a secure email address is not much different than regular email—you won’t have to learn any new skills when you switch to a secure email. A truly secure email server can’t access your conversations, can’t profile you, won’t show you targeted ads, and won’t log any data or metadata. Setting up a secure email serverWhile the idea of setting up a secure email server may seem intimidating at first, it’s actually an easy process.

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your response.”– Ancient Stoic saying. Thus, we have come to realise that:We do not control our own fateWe cannot control our external circumstancesLife is fragileWe are not nearly as resilient as we perceivedSometimes we lose our morale, motivation, and drive because we lose control. Control as a noun is defined as the power to influence or direct people’s behaviour or the course of events. Control as a verb is an extraneous factor that might affect results or someone that supervises the running of an operation, event, outcome, or initiative of some sort. Let’s go with the major culprits here, the Big Four of dilemmas; work, life, society, and family.

If you’re a longtime listener of The Vergecast, then you know that USB-C comes up a lot. Anytime our colleague Chaim Gartenberg joins the show, there is going to be a brief aside about the complications of USB-C and the many varieties of USB-C cables. The reason USB-C can be complicated is that we have one plug that does multiple things — from low power to ridiculously high 240-watt power. How future proof is USB-C? You can think of this episode as a Vergecast reference guide for the next time we cover the intricacies of USB-C on the podcast.

But that’s not the only way people might navigate the web, and today, a company called You.com is trying something different: a search engine built around sorting and comparing results. If you’re not used to closely reading the text of search results, it looks overwhelming and sort of cluttered. You.com comes tantalizingly close to being an engine for web search power users who like comparing multiple sources of information. But that’s part of the appeal — Socher reasonably describes You.com as “unbundling” search from a Google-style web empire. Like DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, and other services trying to chip away at Google’s overwhelming dominance in search, You.com emphasizes the idea that it’s more private and less heavily tracked.
