Beautiful News Daily - September 17th, 2020 - California initiative breeds infertility into mosquitoes, cutting their numbers (Narrated by Joanna)
Malaria kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. One of Google’s sister companies is now attempting to wipe it off the map, along with other mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever. The strategy – to make them infertile – could help to eradicate malaria forever.

Wikipedia Picture of the Day - September 23rd, 2021 - The Tales of Hoffmann (Narrated by Joanna)
The Tales of Hoffmann (Les contes d'Hoffmann) is an opéra fantastique by Jacques Offenbach. The French libretto was written by Jules Barbier based on three short stories by E. T. A. Hoffmann, who is the opera's protagonist. It was Offenbach's final work; he died in October 1880, four months before the premiere at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. This illustration, probably by Pierre-Auguste Lamy, shows the third act, set in Venice, as illustrated for the first production of the opera in 1881. This act was in fact omitted from the premiere performance itself, the orchestration being incomplete at the time of the composer's death.

Beautiful News Daily - February 26th, 2020 - Most Women Have Some Legal Access to Abortion (Narrated by Emma)
Restricting access to abortion doesn’t stop it. It just pushes it underground, leading to unsafe procedures, injury or deaths.
In the last 25 years, nearly 50 countries have recognised this. They’ve all liberalised their laws. Even religiously conservative nations, like Nepal, Cambodia and Ireland, have legalized. 970m women now live in countries where it’s broadly permitted.

FAMIN
famine-deaths-have-plummeted-globally
Beautiful News Daily - December 26th, 2019 - Famine Deaths Have Plummeted Globally (Narrated by Joanna)
Famine poses less of a threat in the modern world. Why? Reduced poverty. Bigger agricultural yields. Better healthcare and sanitation. Improved monitoring systems to predict danger.
War or oppressive governments are the main triggers of famine in the modern world. Increased democracy, stability and peace have lowered those risks, too. Result? Millions of lives saved.

Wikipedia Picture of the Day - July 14th, 2023 - Stibnite (Narrated by Brian)
Stibnite, also known as antimonite, is a sulfide mineral with the formula Sb2S3. This soft grey material crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group. Pastes of stibnite powder in fat or other materials have been used since at least 3000 BC as eye cosmetics in the Mediterranean and farther afield; in this use, it is called kohl. It was used to darken the brows and lashes, or to draw a line around the perimeter of the eye. Stibnite is also the most important industrial source for the metalloid antimony. This stibnite crystal, measuring 5.0 cm × 2.8 cm × 1.5 cm (1.97 in × 1.10 in × 0.59 in), was found in the Herja Mine in Maramureș, Romania.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - July 22nd, 2022 - Spiral Galaxy M74: A Sharper View (Narrated by Brian)
Beautiful spiral galaxy Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628) lies some 32 million light-years away toward the constellation Pisces. An island universe of about 100 billion stars with two prominent spiral arms, M74 has long been admired by astronomers as a perfect example of a grand-design spiral galaxy. M74's central region is brought into a stunning, sharp focus in this recently processed image using publicly available data from the James Webb Space Telescope. The colorized combination of image data sets is from two of Webb's instruments NIRcam and MIRI, operating at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. It reveals cooler stars and dusty structures in the grand-design spiral galaxy only hinted at in previous space-based views.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - December 18th, 2020 - Diamond in the Sky (Narrated by Brian)
When the shadow of the Moon raced across planet Earth's southern hemisphere on December 14, sky watchers along the shadow's dark central path were treated to the only total solar eclipse of 2020. During the New Moon's shadow play this glistening diamond ring was seen for a moment, even in cloudy skies. Known as the diamond ring effect, the transient spectacle actually happens twice. Just before and immediately after totality, a thin sliver of solar disk visible behind the Moon's edge creates the appearance of a shiny jewel set in a dark ring. This dramatic snapshot from the path of totality in northern Patagonia, Argentina captures this eclipse's second diamond ring, along with striking solar prominences lofted beyond the edge of the Moon's silhoutte.

Wikipedia Picture of the Day - April 29th, 2023 - Chalkhill blue (Narrated by Amy)
The chalkhill blue (Lysandra coridon) is a species of butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is a small butterfly that can be found throughout the Palearctic realm, where it occurs primarily in grasslands rich in chalk. Males are a pale blue colour, while females are dark brown; both have chequered fringes around their wings. This mating pair of chalkhill blues was photographed at Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve in Oxfordshire, England. The species breeds and produces a new generation only once per year.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - April 18th, 2024 - Facing NGC 1232 (Narrated by Joanna)
From our vantage point in the Milky Way Galaxy, we see NGC 1232 face-on. Nearly 200,000 light-years across, the big, beautiful spiral galaxy is located some 47 million light-years away in the flowing southern constellation of Eridanus. This sharp, multi-color, telescopic image of NGC 1232 includes remarkable details of the distant island universe. From the core outward, the galaxy's colors change from the yellowish light of old stars in the center to young blue star clusters and reddish star forming regions along the grand, sweeping spiral arms. NGC 1232's apparent, small, barred-spiral companion galaxy is cataloged as NGC 1232A. Distance estimates place it much farther though, around 300 million light-years away, and unlikely to be interacting with NGC 1232. Of course, the prominent bright star with the spiky appearance is much closer than NGC 1232 and lies well within our own Milky Way.

Wikipedia Picture of the Day - April 30th, 2020 - Presidency of George Washington (Narrated by Joanna)
The presidency of George Washington began on April 30, 1789, when he took office after the 1788–89 election, the United States' first quadrennial presidential election. He was unanimously re-elected in the 1792 presidential election. Having chosen to retire after two terms, he was succeeded by his vice president, John Adams of the Federalist Party, in 1797.
This picture is a line engraving of Washington, produced around 1902 by the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) as part of a BEP presentation album of the first 26 presidents, which was reportedly given to Treasury Secretary Lyman J. Gage. Similar portraits of Washington have been used on designs for the $1 bill.
