Scientists raised the possibility that the Zika virus can be transmitted by oral sex — perhaps even by kissing — on Friday in a letter to The New England Journal of Medicine describing one such case in France. A single incident may seem trivial. But until early this year, there was only one known instance of sexual transmission of the Zika virus — a 2008 case in which a mosquito researcher just back from Africa infected his wife in Colorado. Now scientists believe that sexual transmission is an important driver of the Zika epidemic in the Americas. Cases have been...

I am looking to purchase my first 3d Printer. I assume I have waited long enough for the bugs to have been worked out. Ha. I would like one with a good-sized stage/printing platform and I don't want to invest in a clunker or off-brand. I don't even know what the good brands are. Any advice from you good folks would be appreciated. If you can include links, that would be wonderful. The plastic resin-type ones are fine. I don't need to print metallic objects. Just something sturdy with a good warranty as I assume they break easily? Also, I...

The migrant came to Germany two years ago, the local news outlet reports, and the contact with the woman came through the group “Refugees Welcome,” or “Flüchtlinge Wilkommen.” The attack occurred Oct. 25, 2015, when the Afghan rapist sneaked into the 20-year-old woman’s room while she was sleeping. The story sounds eerily similar to another out of Sweden earlier this month. A mother there, working with a welcoming group, decided to open her home to a male refugee from Eritrea. She made her daughter leave her room so she could offer the child’s room to the migrant. That migrant then...

By John Zmirak Published on May 30, 2016 • Every educated person ought to study the ancient world.
