A bevy of gray-haired drivers navigated through orange traffic cones, past red signs and through a white tent Sunday to receive COVID-19 vaccinations without ever leaving their cars. About 1,000 people over the age of 70 received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in a parking lot outside Coors Field as part of a UCHealth drive-thru event that served as a dry run before a much bigger vaccination effort planned for next weekend. Sunday’s vaccinations were meant to test the set up and allow UCHealth to work out any kinks before next weekend, when organizers hope to vaccinate as many as 10,000 people at the drive-thru site in two days. The vaccine is given out only to people with appointments; any others who show up are turned away. The trial run went smoothly Sunday — traffic flowed steadily to 18 individual tents where drivers were vaccinated. After the first hour, UCHealth added some additional directions for drivers and enlisted another flag waver to point people in the … [Read more...] about UCHealth vaccinates 1,000 seniors at Coors Field, plans for 10,000 next weekend

A growing number of “cryptic species” hiding in plain sight have been unmasked in the past year, driven in part by the rise of DNA barcoding , a technique that can identify and differentiate between animal and plant species using their genetic divergence. The discovery of new species of aloe , African leaf-nosed bats and chameleons that appear similar to the human eye but are in fact many and separate have thrilled and worried conservationists. Scientists say our planet might be more biologically diverse than previously thought, and estimates for the total number of species could be far higher than the current best guess of 8.7 million . But cryptic discoveries often mean that species once considered common and widespread are actually several, some of which may be endangered and require immediate protection. The Jonah’s mouse lemur was only unveiled to the world this summer but is already on the verge of extinction. The newly described Popa langur in Myanmar, … [Read more...] about Discovery of ‘cryptic species’ shows Earth is even more biologically diverse

It has been a burning topic for years but the White House has now tangoed into the debate over whether Donald Trump’s tan is real or fake. Former Presidential aide Omarosa Manigault Newman said in her tell-all book Donny was partial to a sunbed, having one delivered to the West Wing. Former FBI director James Comey backed up her claim when he wrote that when he first met the President, his face “appeared slightly orange” and featured “bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he placed small tanning goggles”. Now White House staff have said it is all lies and Trump’s skin colour is the result of “good genes”. It’s incredible what those syco-fantas will say.

The photos show the man holding the one-legged stance taught to Ralph Macchio’s … [Read more...] about Christopher Bucktin’s America: White House turns up the heat over Trump’s ran

Every state has an ode in song. California's sandy beaches and green valleys have inspired tracks by Tupac Shakur, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beach Boys, and Johnny Cash. "Empire State of Mind" and "Welcome to New York" are only two of the recent additions to the peck of songs celebrating New York's Big Apple . Country tunes abound with Texas pride. But all states have songs written about them, and every state has an official state song—except for New Jersey, perhaps because it would force the state to decide between native sons Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi. In this list, Stacker highlights one famous song about every state. The tracks span all genres, topics, and decades. But they all have one thing in common: celebrating their respective state. Read on for an interesting list of famous songs written about each state. Though you'll find plenty of old favorites on this list, you might be surprised by the artists behind songs about Kansas, Washington, and a few … [Read more...] about 50 Famous Songs About Every State

A year back, a buddy gifted me with a very cool denim overshirt. It was made from a beautiful Japanese denim and proportioned nicely for my very Asian and slightly rotund figure. I mistakenly assumed it was from a Japanese brand, partly because said friend is married to a Japanese woman and has lived in Tokyo. I then guessed American. “No,” he corrected me, "this is local.” READ: Creative Capital: A Kuala Lumpur knife-maker turns ordinary steel blades into art He then started telling me how much he loved the clothes and accessories produced by Fahmy Ismail, a local designer, through his label Kerbside&Co.

Do opposites attract? Or are you better off with a partner who is very similar to you? He is a honker, I am a flasher, and never the twain shall meet. No, I'm not being rude here. What I mean is that when it comes to dealing with pesky motorists when we're driving, H honks whereas I flash our car's headlights. It's a difference that irritates us both to no end. He says he honks because how else can he get the other driver's attention, which he must if the person is driving in a dangerous manner. But honking is rude, I say. It's better to flash the headlights. But the driver might not notice your flashing light, he argues. And in some situations you need the other driver to react fast or you'd get into an accident. In any case, he adds, in Britain people flash their headlights for positive things - to signal that they are yielding the right way, or to thank another driver, or warn them of danger ahead. Well, I say, you're no longer living in Britain. In Singapore, … [Read more...] about It’s okay to be different: Sumiko Tan

SINGAPORE: Crimes brought about by advances in technology such as voyeurism and “cyber flashing” will be deemed as offences should the Criminal Law Reform Bill be passed in Parliament. The bill, which was read for the first time in Parliament on Monday (Feb 11), stated that the production, possession and distribution of voyeuristic recordings, regardless of the victim’s gender, will be criminalised. This follows recommendations from the Penal Code Review Committee (PCRC) submitted last August, and which the Government had accepted.
