The case withdrawal brings relief to Flutterwave, which is hoping to acquire a payments service provider and remittances license from the Central Bank of Kenya, which flagged it last year for operating without one. It also comes at a time when Flutterwave is ramping up its efforts to expand into the country. The ARA has withdrawn the case on…

Scientists found the source of the sound—and discovered a new species. J. Maximilian Dehling ventured into the Nyungwe Forest on several trips between 2010 and 2018, he wrote in a study published Oct. 23 in the journal Diversity. During these surveys, a “very small” frog caught his attention. He found six of these “miniature” frogs and, taking a closer look, discovered a new species: Arthroleptis nyungwensis, or the Nyungwe squeaker frog. The…

Fans were eager to see what Carrie would have worn to the red carpet, as she is known for her unique, and outstanding, sense of style. In a 2012 interview, she credited actresses Charlize Theron and Reese Witherspoon with being her style icons. “They are beautiful, but in a natural way,” she told  NFocus magazine at the…

It’s been challenging for companies to find ways to understand and manage these costs. That’s where Lunar.dev comes in.

The Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chip market has been subject to ongoing export restrictions which imposed by the United States from October 2022, which prohibited the sale of certain U.S. products to China. The U.S. initially blocked the export of the highest level of chips produced by companies like Nvidia and AMD. Under the initial October controls the companies were still able to export other models to China, such as Nvidia’s A800 and H800.One year later on Oct. 17, the U.S. government announced an expansion of controls to “reinforce” the previous ones, which meant that all chip models would be embargoed…

New research led by University of Colorado School of Medicine faculty members Fan Zhang, Ph.D., and Anna Helena Jonsson, M.D., Ph.D., may lead to new targeted treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease that causes joint inflammation and destruction. Published today in the journal Nature, their findings reflect the work of dozens of researchers working together as members of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership: Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (AMP: RA/SLE) Network, including Michael Holers, M.D., professor of medicine and the site principal investigator at the CU School of Medicine. The AMP: RA/SLE Network collected inflamed tissue from 70…
