NYT: Five Weeknight Dinners My Kids Will Gladly Eat
Here’s a mostly complete list of what my children, ages 5 and 7, eat for dinner:
Plain pasta (spaghetti and farfalle only), rice and beans (any kind but lima), chicken (roasted thighs, nuggets), salmon, avocado rolls, hot dogs, pizza, slices of steak. They do eat some green vegetables, but they don’t do tacos, meatballs, dumplings, baked saucy dishes or, really, sauce of any kind. Soup, as an entire category, is a no.
Popular mechanics: Mosquitoes are a plague on Humanity. Their Secret Weapon Could Also Save Lives.
Vibration in Ae. aegypti male antennae turned out to be most prominent when female wingbeats were played, even with the sounds of male wingbeats in the way. Ur. lowii male antennae didn’t respond much, since they chase females by following their pheromones. Similarly, Ur. lowii female antennae vibrated most when frog calls were played (they especially crave barking tree frogs). For Ae. aegypti females, the volume on these calls had to be ramped up for them to have any reaction at all, since they primarily use their sense of smell to find unknowing animals for their next meal.
CBC Radio: For the 1st time in Canada, surgeons put teeth in patients' eyes to restore sight
When Brent Chapman’s doctor first pitched him on the idea of having one of his own teeth surgically embedded in his eye to restore his sight, he says he felt “a little apprehensive.”
But then he spoke to a woman in Australia who had undergone the same procedure to tremendous success.
“She had been completely blind for 20 years, and is now snow skiing,” Chapman, 33, of North Vancouver, said. “I know it sounds a little crazy and science fiction-y.”
