Dont miss the full wolf moon light up the sky tonight – CNN

Despite the fictional tale, it hasn't stopped people from connecting the moon with the furry animals. The first full moon of the year is known as the wolf moon, and will appear the evening of Monday, January 17. It will peak at 6:51 p.m. ET or 11:51 p.m. GMT. To catch a glimpse of the moon, look above the horizon in the east-northeastern direction, according to NASA. Some moon gazers may spot a bright star near the full moon. It's Pollux, a star that's part of the Gemini constellation, NASA said. Both Jupiter and Saturn will also be visible, NASA noted, but they'll be opposite the moon above the southwestern horizon. More than a wolf moon There is a cornucopia of names for the January full moon besides the wolf moon, including the Old Moon and Ice Moon. Hindus refer to it as...

‘I have no intention of getting infected’: understanding Omicron’s severity – The Guardian

Omicron variant Experts on whether getting Covid is inevitable and why, despite claims of ‘mildness’, the variant is highly dangerous Mon 17 Jan 2022 02.00 EST Leaders in the US have struck a pessimistic tone about the Covid-19 pandemic in recent weeks amid rapid spread of the Omicron variant.Janet Woodcock, acting commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, recently testified before Congress that “most people are going to get Covid”. Dr Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to Joe Biden, has also said that Omicron “​​will ultimately find just about everybody” in terms of exposure, though vaccines make an important difference in who develops the illness.But Covid-19 is still a very serious disease with unknown outcomes, even for the less severe Omicron variant.

Medieval bloodletting could ease gout pain – Daily Mail

Could the medieval cure of bloodletting be a treatment for gout? A review of studies involving nearly 1,000 people suggests the ancient therapy, largely abandoned in modern medical practice, could in fact be nearly 40 per cent more effective at treating the condition than the painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs currently used. Gout is estimated to affect more than 2 million people in the UK — with cases rising, due to diet and lifestyle changes. But some researchers now believe bloodletting may ease symptoms, by lowering inflammation and levels of uric acid, a known cause of gout. Uric acid is produced by the body when it breaks down purines, compounds that occur naturally in the body but are also found in red meat, some seafood and shellfish. High blood levels of uric acid lead urate...

Herd Immunity Is Over—Long Live Superimmunity – The Wall Street Journal

Forget about herd immunity. Covid-19 vaccines and prior infection don’t provide lasting protection against infection and transmission, especially with the Omicron variant. That makes it impossible for enough of the population to become immune to stop the virus from spreading. But don’t despair. Omicron will give much of the population what some scientists call “superimmunity”—stronger protection against new variants and even future coronaviruses. Normal life will be possible even as the virus continues to spread and mutate. Superimmunity won’t necessarily stop people from being infected or transmitting the virus. But most people who get infected, even with a more virulent variant, will experience mild or no symptoms.

Pasta with Spinach Garlic and Guanciale Sauce Recipe

A Tasty Pasta Recipe With Spinach, Garlic and Guanciale Sauce I don’t even know where this recipe for strozzapreti pasta with spinach, garlic and guanciale sauce came from because I prepared it before we moved to Utah. I liked it enough to add the recipe to my drafts to be completed later so here we go. Ingredients Strozzapreti Pasta (stroh-tzuh-PRAY-tee) Strozzapreti is similar to cavatelli pasta but elongated. They look like short twisted pasta that are typically rolled by hand but I’m guessing commercial companies have been able to figure out how to make them by machine. I found this good video on YouTube explaining how Strozzapreti is made by hand. The video shows you how to make the dough from scratch, but I started it at the point of making the pasta and finishe...

Joss Whedon calls Ray Fisher ‘bad actor’ while defending himself from Justice League misconduct allegations – The Independent

Joss Whedon has broken his silence over claims of misconduct on the set of Justice League. In 2020, Fisher, who played Cyborg in Whedon’s Justice League, alleged that the director engaged in “gross, abusive, unprofessional and completely unacceptable” behaviour on the set of the 2017 film. Fisher shared an archive video of himself calling Whedon a “great guy”, writing: “I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement.” It was also claimed that he lightened Fisher’s skin tone during the edit. His allegations led to a WarnerMedia investigation into Whedon’s behaviour, which saw many actors who have worked with the director in the past, including Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, interviewed by officials. Whedon initially failed to comment on Fisher’s allegations. ...

Joss Whedon Opens Up About Past Misconduct Allegations; ‘Justice League’ Actor Ray Fisher Responds – Deadline

After being accused in July 2020 by Justice League actor Ray Fisher for “gross, abusive, unprofessional” conduct during the production of the 2017 Warner Bros movie, filmmaker Joss Whedon has finally responded to that accusation in a New York profile, as well as to the string of allegations that followed from Gal Gadot and former Buffy the Vampire colleagues. The profile “The Undoing of Joss Whedon,” published Monday morning, also contained new misconduct claims against Whedon, which he also fields. The loud social media slam by Fisher, who played Cyborg in the film, against Whedon back in 2020 resulted in WarnerMedia conducting an internal investigation into what went sideways on Justice League, resulting in the media conglom vaguely stating in December of that year that “reme...
