Today, December 7, is Noam Chomskys 92nd birthday. A couple of days before he was scheduled to discuss, on the platform of the Tata Literary Festival 2020, his recent book Internationalism or Extinction, a group of Indias social and political activists wrote an open letter to Noam Chomsky in which they suggested that he boycott the festival. They cited the less-than-wholesome credentials of the festivals sponsors, the Tatas, in the matter of human rights and apropos of how they ran their businesses.

Antitrust lawsuits filed Wednesday against Facebook focused on what plaintiffs say is the improper use of consumer data by the social media giant and a monopolistic strategy of squashing competition. But while Facebooks use of data has come under scrutiny over the years including after the 2018 Cambridge Analytical scandal, during which users learned that their data had been harvested for targeted political advertisements without their knowledge most of the recent public pressure on the company has concerned the proliferation of hate speech, incitement to violence and disinformation on its platforms

Last January, a few days after being appointed minister, I had the honor of accompanying His Majesty King Philip VI to the World Holocaust Forum on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the concentration and extermination camp that we also visited a few days later.I return now, a few days before the end of the year, to talk to our Israeli friends with the warmth and frankness that characterizes our relations. Our two countries have gone through difficult times in these months of pandemic: we have regretted human losses and we have had to restrict our movements despite the fact that both Israelis and Spaniards have in common a vibrant, innovative and cosmopolitan character.In these months, we have also rediscovered the value of neighborhood and of being members of the same region, as countries at both ends of the Mediterranean

INTRODUCTION Centromeres have been one of the most mysterious parts of the human genome since they were characterized, in the 1970s, as large tracts of 171base pair (bp) strings called alpha-satellite monomers (1, 2). With a growing body of evidence suggesting their relevance to human diseases as sources of genomic instability or as repositories of haplotypes containing causative mutations (38), it has become more important to investigate the underlying sequence variations in centromeric regions (9, 10). Human centromeric regions have nested repeat structures.
