A new, small study suggests that certain soaps and scents may make one more or less attractive to the insects. However, the effects vary between people – and each person’s unique human scent also plays a role, according to the researchers.

The study, conducted by researchers at Virginia Tech and published on May 10 in the journal iScience, included four human volunteers whose chemical odors were studied both when unwashed, and after they had washed themselves with each of four brands of soap: Dial, Dove, Native, and Simple Truth.

The team also analyzed the odor profiles of the soaps themselves.Soap-washing was found to impact the mosquitoes’ preferences, but this differed between soap types and the human volunteers.

Debt ceiling explained: Why it's a struggle, how the impasse could end

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will meet face to face Monday after a weekend of on again, off again negotiations over raising the nation's debt ceiling and mere days before the government could reach a "hard deadline" and run out of cash to pay its bills.The two sides are working to reach a budget compromise before June 1, when Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said the country could default.McCarthy and Republicans are insisting on spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt limit. Biden has come to the negotiating table after balking for months but says the GOP lawmakers will have to back off their "extreme positions."On Sunday evening, negotiators met again and appeared to be narrowing on a 2024 budget year cap that could resolve the standoff.

Do you need a financial planner? What to know before seeking money advice

financial planner or advisor to guide decisions on everything from investments to getting out of debt.But as complicated as planning your own finances can be, experts say it’s no simple task getting the right help, either.“There’s still a lot of ambiguity, I find, with financial advisors in Canada to figure out what the heck they do,” says Jason Heath, managing director of Objective Financial Partners.Heath, who is a certified financial planner (CFP), and other experts also say relying on outside advice might not be right for every household budget when the costs of financial planning itself are factored in.Here’s how to decide if a financial planner is right for you, and how to navigate the market to find the right fit.There are many different types of financial guidance you can get, ranging from straightforward advice to hands-on management of your investments.But the first distinction to be made is the difference between a financial advisor and a financial planner.The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) differentiates the more general financial advisors, which could encompass anything from a bank employee to a stock broker to an insurance agent, from the more specific financial planner, which is a type of advisor who helps you make a plan for your long-term savings goals.

Video shows protester punch officer after lawmakers pass restrictions on abortion, gender-affirming care

LINCOLN, Neb. - The Nebraska Legislature on Friday approved a 12-week abortion ban and restrictions on gender-affirming care for people younger than 19 in a move so contentious that lawmakers on both sides have said they may be unable to work together in the future.Conservative lawmakers called in a visibly ill colleague so they would have enough votes to end a filibuster and pass a bill with both measures. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen, who pushed for the bill, has promised to sign it into law.The mood in the Nebraska Capitol has been volatile since lawmakers on Tuesday advanced by a single vote the hybrid measure that ties together restrictions that Republicans have pursued across the U.S.

Lower Merion police play basketball with local youth to strengthen community bond

LOWER MERION, Pa. - Police in Montgomery County took off their badges and laced up their sneakers Friday night to play a friendly game of basketball with some of the local youth. For the eight straight year, the Race for Peace has organized the basketball game as a good-willed effort to strengthen community ties between police and the youngsters. The organization and police both hope that seeing each other on the court will increase the chances they can work together in public."It gives the youth an opportunity to trust the police a little bit more," Quron Banks from Race for Peace said. "There's been some friction in the community, and it bridges gaps between those two, so we can pretty much work together on all the things we need to get done and accomplish great things for our youth."MORE LOCAL HEADLINESFriday's basketball game took place at the Kobe Bryant gym in Upper Merion.

A proposed $5 billion man-made ‘moon’ could be Dubai’s next big thing

A view of Dubai downtown in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on November 21, 2022. (Beata Zawrzel/NurPhoto via Getty Images) DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Who says you cannot reach for the moon? A proposed $5 billion real estate project wants to take skyscraper-studded Dubai to new heights — by bringing a symbol of the heavens down to Earth.Canadian entrepreneur Michael Henderson envisions building a 274-meter (900-foot) replica of the moon atop a 30-meter (100-foot) building in Dubai, already home to the world's tallest building and other architectural wonders.Henderson's project, dubbed MOON, may sound out of this world, but it could easily fit in this futuristic city-state. Dubai already has a red-hot real estate market, fueled by the wealthy who fled restrictions imposed in their home countries during the coronavirus pandemic and Russians seeking refuge amid Moscow’s war on Ukraine.And even though a previous booms-and-bust cycle saw many grand projects collapse, Henderson and others suggest his vision, funded by Moon World Resorts Inc., where he is the co-founder, might not be that far-fetched."We have the biggest ‘brand’ in the world," Henderson told The Associated Press, alluding that the moon itself — the heavenly body — was his brand.

These are the most debt-ridden cities in the US, according to study

debt as the cost of living continues to rise, according to a new analysis.The average non-mortgage debt across the 50 largest U.S. cities is $39,713, which includes auto loans, student loans, credit cards, and personal loans, a new study by online lending marketplace LendingTree found. Across the largest American cities, auto loan debt was found to be the highest at an average of $13,718, ahead of student loans ($11,661), credit cards ($7,789) and personal loans ($5,411), according to the study.The study, published this week, was based on an analysis of 75,000 anonymized credit reports of LendingTree users between January and March.LendingTree chief credit analyst Matt Schulz said he actually expected non-mortgage debt to be much higher."Considering that the average price of a new car is about $50,000 and that so many people likely have an auto loan, student loan debt and credit card debt simultaneously, $40,000 hardly seems outrageous," Schulz said in a statement. He added: "Now, I’m not saying that $40,000 in debt isn’t a lot or isn’t concerning.

The Health Tests You Need at Age 30, 40 and 50

Keeping track of when to start screening for health issues from cancer to cholesterol can be confusing—not least because guidelines for some of the biggest tests have changed in recent years. Earlier this month, a government-backed panel of experts lowered the age at which they recommend women start getting mammograms to 40, down from the prior recommendation of 50. And many 40-somethings don’t realize they are now supposed to start getting colorectal cancer screenings at 45, even though that same expert panel lowered its recommendation from age 50 two years ago.

Philadelphia's likely next mayor could offer model for how Democrats talk about crime

She wants to devote resources to recruiting more police and says officers should be able to stop and search pedestrians if they have a legitimate reason to do so.Those positions, particularly the search policies that have been criticized for wrongly targeting people of color, would seem out of step in a progressive bastion like Philadelphia.

(Photo by Jevone Moor Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said Wednesday that more government regulations could lead to higher ticket prices. "There's no question if there is another layer of government regulation and cost that's introduced into the system, it'll eventually find its way back into ticket prices," Bastian said during an interview with "CBS Mornings." It's "common business logic," he added. In April, airline fares dropped about 2.6% from March after four months of increases, according to government data. DELTA DISCLOSES RECORD ADVANCE SUMMER BOOKINGSRepresentatives for Delta Air Lines declined to comment further. Earlier this month, President Biden said his administration will write new regulations requiring major carriers to compensate travelers and cover their meals and hotel rooms if they are stranded for reasons within the airline’s control.This is in addition to ticket refunds for passengers when the airline is at fault for canceling or significantly delaying a flight.

Mid-Coast Recovery Coalition partnered with the Rockland Police Department to raise funds to help Darlene Plasse-Young, affectionately nicknamed "bike lady," who was going through some financially difficult times. The non-profit organization hoped to raise enough funds to help pay off Plasse-Young’s car, which is now her home, so she could eventually afford rent at an apartment. On Tuesday, Rockland police, members of Mid-Coast Recovery Coalition and the parents of the 3-year-old boy presented Plasse-Young with a $11,902 check. "She just couldn’t believe it," Lura Robinson, with Mid-Coast Recovery Coalition, told FOX TV Stations. "She was in tears." Plasse-Young’s car costs about $19,000 and she and her former daughter-in-law plan to get her car payments refinanced so she doesn’t have to struggle so much to afford it. "Thankful, so very thankful," Plasse-Young said in a statement.
