1 Billion Genetically Modified Mosquitoes Will Be Released in the U.S. The controversial move is designed to reduce the population size of disease-carrying mosquitoes.

by | ,

If you thought the Florida Keys already had a mosquito problem, think again. Tens of thousands of genetically modified mosquitoes have recently been intentionally released throughout the region, and they are plans to release more — but they won’t bite (seriously).

The swarm aims to reduce the pesky mosquito problem, as well as preventing the spread of Zika in the U.S.

The problem: Mosquitoes are more than just buzzing nuisances. They carry diseases that can be very serious, like dengue, Zika, and yellow fever. The biggest offender is the Aedes aegypti. Only 4% of Florida’s mosquito population is this disease-carrying species. But they accounted for 70% of dengue fever cases in Key Largo last year, reports Gizmodo.

COVID vaccines ‘must be halted immediately,’ renowned toxicologist tells CDC

COVID vaccines ‘must be halted immediately,’ renowned toxicologist tells CDC

by | ,

We must halt all COVID vaccine administration immediately, before we create a true pandemic that we cannot reign in,’ warned Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D.

May 12, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Renowned toxicologist Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., has called on the U.S. government to halt COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

Late last month, Lindsay told a meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in Atlanta that the vaccines “must be halted immediately due to safety concerns on several fronts.” ACIP had convened to discuss blood disorders linked to the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

Dr. Lindsay, who holds a doctorate from the University of Texas and has more than three decades of scientific experience, cited potential blood clot, fertility, and immune issues related to the jabs. Her full testimony can be found on YouTube, with a transcript here.

How Will Movie Theaters Survive Post-Pandemic? Chance the Rapper’s new concert film offers a hint at the answer.

by |

Chicago musician Chance the Rapper is releasing his new concert film, “Magnificent Coloring World,” exclusively through AMC Theatres, making him the first recording artist to do so.

“Seeing movies together on the big screen is an essential part of summertime and something I deeply missed over the last year, so I am extremely excited and honored to partner with AMC to bring fans back to the theater,” Chance said in a release.

The challenge: Movie theaters were hit hard by the pandemic in 2020, with temporary closures and capacity limits preventing them from selling as many tickets as they would normally.

Additionally, many movies that would have been released in theaters were delayed due to the pandemic — or simply released via streaming services — meaning even when theaters had seats to fill, they didn’t necessarily have the movies needed to draw an audience.

Ohio gov. announces $5 million lottery, full scholarships to encourage taking COVID vaccine

Ohio gov. announces $5 million lottery, full scholarships to encourage taking COVID vaccine

by | , ,

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 13, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Ohio’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine unveiled Wednesday an unusual incentive to encourage more residents to take one of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines: entering recipients in weekly drawings for one million dollars.

As of May 13, almost 4.3 million Ohioans have been fully vaccinated, which is approximately 36% of the state’s population. Policymakers across the country have expressed frustration at a lack of interest in getting vaccinated by many Americans beyond the initial rush.

DeWine’s solution is to enter adults who have at least obtained the first injection of a coronavirus vaccine into a lottery for one of five drawings of one million dollars apiece, announced every Wednesday for five weeks starting May 26.

The 3D-printed house took 60 cubic meters of natural material and 200 hours to build.

An Italian architecture studio and 3D printing company have teamed up to create the first 3D-printed house made from dirt. The environmentally friendly place took just 200 hours to complete. It has a stout shape and curved walls that look remarkably like a sea urchin.

The challenge: The 3D-printed house is the culmination of an assignment at the School of Sustainability: design a sustainable home built with on-site natural materials.

Wasp, Italy’s leading 3D printing firm, and Mario Cucinella Architects came up with Tecla — which is short for “technology and clay.”

Report: NBA Ratings Crash 13%, Continuing Steep Decline

by |

The NBA’s TV ratings have continued their long decline, with the most recent numbers even worse than the historic lows the league suffered during the pandemic-stricken 2020 season.

According to Outkick, ratings across the NBA’s networks have tumbled over last year when all analysts blamed the coronavirus for the fall in the ratings. Headed into the final week of the season, the ratings for ESPN, ABC, and TNT’s broadcasts are down 13 percent over last year’s disastrous coronavirus season.

Last year’s numbers were assumed to be the lowest in NBA history because of the coronavirus. But this year, that excuse will not play since the bubble is in the past, and the league played business as usual for the 2020/21 season.
