Update-Phoenix has never seen a hot spell like this so late in the year before

'It's going to be pretty intense': After reaching the first 110-degree day of the year, Phoenix could break records this coming week
No records were broken on Saturday and the first 110-degree day of the year in Phoenix occurring on June 12 was not unusual, weather service officials said. 


Phoenix is normally one of the hottest cities in the United States, but this year has been abnormally hot in the Valley of the Sun. As of Wednesday, Nov. 17, the city has tied or broken daily high-temperature records on 33 occasions, including three times this week.

Melania could get ‘$50MILLION’ if she calls it quits







 Some began speculating that the president's relationship with Melania was souring after she was spotted at a Veteran's Day ceremony in Virginia holding the arm of a serviceman instead of her husband.

Virus schematic SARS-CoV2

 












A) Schematic representation of the genome organization and functional domains of S protein for COVID-19. The single-stranded RNA genomes of COVID-19 encode two large genes, the ORF1a and ORF1b genes, which encode 16 non-structural proteins (nsp1–nsp16). The structural genes encode the structural proteins, spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N). The accessory genes denoted in shades of green. The structure of S protein is shown beneath the genome organization. The S protein is consisting of the S1 and S2 subunits. The S1/S2 cleavage sites are highlighted by dotted lines. In the S-protein, cytoplasm domain (CP); fusion peptide (FP); heptad repeat (HR); receptor-binding domain (RBD); signal peptide (SP); transmembrane domain (TM) are shown B) The viral surface proteins, spike, envelope and membrane, are embedded in a lipid bilayer. The single-stranded positive-sense viral RNA is associated with the nucleocapsid protein.
