Nothing gets a female mosquito going quite like the stench of human BO . The chase can begin from more than 100 feet away , with a plume of breath that wafts carbon dioxide onto the nubby sensory organ atop the insect’s mouth. Her senses snared, she flies person-ward, until her antennae start to buzz with the pungent perfume of skin. Lured closer still, she homes in on her host’s body heat, then touches down on a landing pad of flesh that she can taste with her legs . She punctures her victim with her spear-like stylet and slurps the iron-rich blood within. The entire ritual is intricate and obsessive—and nearly impossible to disrupt. Of more than 3,500 mosquito species that skulk about the planet, fewer than 10 percent (and only the females, at that) enjoy nibbling on humans. But once they’re on the prowl for people, neither rain nor zappers nor citronella candles will deter them. From the tips of their antennae to the bottoms of their little insect feet, these … [Read more...] about You Have No Idea How Good Mosquitoes Are at Smelling Us

Ryan Reynolds has surprised a DVD shop owner and lifelong fan with more than 100 signed copies of the Hollywood star's own movies. Movie buff Rob Clarke, 45, who runs Mad4Movies, in Wrexham, Wales, couldn't believe it when he got a message from the Deadpool actor on Twitter . Clarke met Wrexham co-owner Reynolds last year while he was in town filming the Welcome to Wrexham documentary, set to air on Disney+ this month. Clarke said he and his wife Blake Lively had been clearing out their office when they found the haul of old movies, and thought Rob might like them for his shop. Clarke thought the message was a hoax at first until his wife Carrie, 38, told him it was real. The haul of 103 movies are all movies Reynolds and Lively have starred in, including Deadpool 2 , The Age Of Adaline , The Rhythm Section and The Voices . Clarke said he has no idea what the films are worth but plans to sell them for charity—and has earmarked some that he will keep for himself. … [Read more...] about Ryan Reynolds surprises fan with 100 signed copies of movies

A five-year-old in Ohio had a welcome to school like no other when dozens of police officers escorted her into her first day of kindergarten . Lilly is the daughter of fallen Kirkersville, Ohio police chief Eric Disario, who was shot and killed during an incident at a nursing home in 2017. Lilly was born just two days after his funeral. Five years later, this week marked Lilly's first day of kindergarten . "It's another milestone my husband had to miss," Lily's mother Aryn Disario told WBNS.

The Trump Organization's former chief financial officer plead guilty Thursday to 15 felonies on Thursday and admitted he conspired with the company to avoid taxes on corporate benefits. Allen Weisselberg reached a plea deal with the Manhattan district attorney's office that will likely have major implications for the Trump Organization. Weisselberg is expected to be sentenced to five months in prison with potential time off for good behavior, which means he could end up serving around 100 days. However, Weisselberg's plea deal does not include cooperation in a wider probe into former President Donald Trump and he will not implicate Trump by pleading guilty. Weisselberg will be required to testify at a trial concerning charges against the Trump Organization due to begin in October if prosecutors call on him to do so. His testimony could prove a major factor in the outcome of that trial. Trump has not been charged with any crime arising from the investigation and … [Read more...] about What Weisselberg’s guilty plea means for Trumps

The Prime Minister of Finland , Sanna Marin has been accused of "partying" too much, in light of a new leaked video.

The video has been viewed over 1.2 million times on Twitter alone, with thousands of people commenting on and sharing the footage.

“A lack of financial model and the total absence of administrative autonomy are severely hampering the growth of IITs. A proper financial model is needed if we want to scale up the existing IITS,” says V Ramgopal Rao, former director of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. Sharing insights to make IITs successful, he added that creating more IITs can’t be a solution always. Talking about the lack of proper financial model at IIT, he said, “IITs receive generous grants is a myth. A major part of the grants (roughly 85 per cent at IIT Delhi) goes for payment of salaries, pensions and maintenance.” The former director shared the tips through social media platform, Twitter.

On Wednesday, Rubina Dilaik took to social media and dropped the trailer of her OTT debut titled Ardh. It begins with the introduction of Rajpal Yadav’s character, Shiva who is struggling to become an actor in the city of dreams, Mumbai despite being a great theatre actor. Therefore, to survive in the city and earn his bread and butter, he pretends to be a transgender. The trailer then introduces Rubina Dilaik as Rajpal Yadav’s wife who is also supportive of her husband’s decision to live as a transgender. As Shiva continues to work hard to become an actor, the trailer depicts the struggles he and his family face. The decision to present Rajpal Yadav as a transgender (to earn his living) is a new concept and looks interesting. On the other hand, Rubina’s simplicity will surely stun all and might remind her fans of her 2008 show Choti Bahu. It should also be noted how the trailer does not end with a ‘happy ending’, leaving fans curious and excited.
