New discoveries off Egyptian coast reveal ‘treasures and secrets’

A picture taken at Vergenoegd wine estate on June 3, 2016 near Stellenbosch shows a trained duck-herd of approximately 1000 Indian Runner ducks on their way to the vineyards.
The ducks eat snails and other pests which threaten the grapevines, allowing the farm to avoid using toxic pesticides, and they also fertilise the ground with their droppings. The ducks sleep in an enclosed pen, and are herded out to the vineyards in the day, then for a swim in the dam, and then back to their pen in the late afternoon. / AFP / RODGER BOSCH (Photo credit should read RODGER BOSCH/AFP via Getty Images)

MASAKA, UGANDA - MARCH 17: A nurse preparers a trial dose of PrepVacc to inject into a participant on March 17, 2022 in Masaka, Uganda. The African-led project, which is run by The Uganda Virus Research Institute with the support of several European countries, is one of only two HIV vaccine efficacy trials currently taking place. The trials, the first of their kind in Africa, will involve 1668 people across Uganda, Tanzania and South Africa. The trial is combining experimental HIV vaccines and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) simultaneously, something that has never been done before. It is scheduled to conclude by the end of 2024.
