Wolbachia...

Three times a week, on a quiet block of Stock Island on the Florida Keys, 25,000 of the world's deadliest creatures are released into the wild.
Not to fear. While these are mosquitoes,  the creature responsible for more human deaths each year than any other on the planet, they're all males. It's only the females that bite.

The Aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible for spreading dengue fever, chikungunya, yellow fever, and, most recently, Zika. It's not the deadliest of all the mosquitoes, that title goes to the species that carry malaria, but it's causing the most grief here in the United States.

These experimental bugs carry a secret weapon: they're infected with a bacteria called wolbachia that interferes with reproduction, essentially aiming to spread infertility through Aedes aegypti in the area.
It's a symbiotic bacteria in insects."

So when these males infected with wolbachia are released into the wild, they mate with uninfected females, and the resulting eggs don't hatch. Simple...

Transgression...

The House and Senate have struck a deal that could send to President Trump's desk this summer a bill that slaps new sanctions on Russia.  Also it gives Congress the power to review any effort by the Trump administration to ease or end sanctions against Moscow.
The bill also includes stiff economic penalties against Iran and North Korea.

The deal on the legislation comes amid concerns expressed by both Democrats and some Republicans that the Trump administration may be considering returning to Russian control two compounds in Maryland and New York that were seized by the Obama administration in December as punishment for the election meddling.

Chuck Schumer said, “Given the many transgressions of Russia, and President Trump’s seeming inability to deal with them, a strong sanctions bill such as the one Democrats and Republicans have just agreed to is essential.

Isn't that cute. Couldn't do any thing for the American people so starts problems somewhere.....
Just a thought.

Ironic...

Satisfaction...

Multiple studies point to a consistent association between having children and a significant decline in marital satisfaction, particularly for wives.

You and your partner are planning for the arrival of your child, and your emotions run high with some mix of excitement and anxiety.    You conspire happily about your future and dream about what your baby will be like and how you will create and enjoy an expanded sense of family that includes your child.

Now as a new parent, your life has been thrown into a blender. You are suddenly knocked down to the very bottom of the basic survival levels of functioning.

Because human babies are born completely helpless and defenseless your daily life refocuses entirely on the most basic needs vital to physiological survival and safety.

Any previous routine you may have had is gone, and day blends into night. You are bleary eyed and chronically exhausted, a slave to the feeding and sleeping schedule of your baby. Your focus and energy are intensely centered on your new child, and you are both expending massive amounts of energy to attend to the constant and often unclear needs of your baby.

It is not easy.  Just a thought.
