A spokesman for Republican Idaho Congressman Raul Labrador has been dismissed after mistakenly tweeting a response to a sexy Super Bowl ad for CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls from his boss' account, according to a report in the Idaho Statesman.

If you’ve always dreamt of building a miniature model railway but don’t quite have the space for one, Peter Waldraff came up with a solution by building a complete four-season N-scale layout that disappears into a nondescript coffee table so you can hide your hobby when company visits. This isn’t the first attempt to build a complete miniature railroad into a coffee table, but most to date have involved sunken layouts that sit inside a table and beneath a pane of glass so there’s still a place for your coffee. Waldraff’s creation takes an entirely different approach, with a detailed three-dimensional mountain contained within an imaginary half sphere so that it can be flipped upside-down and completely hidden inside the piece, leaving nothing but a matching wooden tabletop in its place.

After a year of pandemic-influenced living, Bostonians are beginning to make plans to socialize in the not-so-distant future. Back in March, the perfect opportunity to make post-vaccine plans arrived when tickets went on sale for “Imagine Van Gogh,” a visually stunning exhibit that arrives at the SoWa Power Station in December. In the rush to secure tickets, some people didn’t notice that there were actually two nearly identical events dedicated to the late Dutch painter. Along with “Imagine Van Gogh,” there is “Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience,” another traveling exhibit promising dazzling projections of the artist’s works that has been advertised on social media. Even more confusing for customers was that tickets for “Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” were sold by a company operating the website SecretBoston.com and posting on social media as “Secret Media Boston.” That company, the European-based Fever, is not affiliated with Secret Boston, the events-focused community that, since 2011, has been sharing advice on things to do in Boston.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says in a new interview that she would have put up a fight had she encountered rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6. "Well, I'm pretty tough. I'm a street fighter," Pelosi told USA Today while acknowledging that some rioters intended to harm her. "They would have had a battle on their hands." Pelosi joked that she had a weapon on her in the form of her stilettos. "I would have had these," she said while lifting up her foot, according to USA Today. Pelosi, along with former Vice President Mike Pence, was one of the main targets of rioters who stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6 as Congress met to certify the election results. During the incident, rioters broke into the Speaker's office, destroying and stealing various items in the process

Voices from across the U.S. political spectrum have registered concerns about companies setting up litmus tests to ban groups from the internet. That said, the voices Lim supports tend to come from the same general neighborhood. He sought out Andrew Anglin, who runs the Daily Stormer, to offer the neo-Nazi free tech support. He says his largest customer is 8kun, and he has a personal relationship with Ron Watkins, the site’s former administrator and one of its key leaders since its inception. Lim argues that the real political crisis facing the U.S. is not extremist violence but erosion of the First Amendment. He says that restrictions on online speech have already brought the U.S. to the verge of communist tyranny, that “we are one foot away from 1984.” After a moment, though, he offers a sizable qualifier: “I never actually read the book, so I don’t know all the themes of the book. But I have heard the concepts, and I’ve seen some things, and I thought, ‘Whoa! That’s sketchy as f---.’ ”

New research may offer at least a partial explanation for the phenomenon that has been seen with so-called adenovirus vaccines.

The problem is that no single measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus is 100% effective, and that includes vaccines. Take a look at this block of Swiss cheese with its characteristic holes, sliced into nine pieces. Each layer represents one of our defences against the virus. None of the slices is perfect. Each of them has holes - representing the measure's flaws - which allow the virus to find a way through.

While vaccines have brought the end of the COVID-19 pandemic into view, most of Canada is still battling a brutal third wave of infections and deaths. Meanwhile, Atlantic Canada’s COVID-19 response has been a world-famous success story, often attributed to its coastal geography and relatively low population density, as well as what Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer, has called the region’s “collective ethic” — the willingness of its people to follow directives and make sacrifices for the common good. These two factors are often used to argue that Atlantic Canada is a unique case — that it would be unfeasible to replicate the region’s success elsewhere. And yet this is evidently untrue, as demonstrated by the list of 28 countries that have beaten COVID-19, including China, Vietnam, Singapore and Australia. The third factor in Atlantic Canada’s success, therefore, is the one most worthy of attention, as it holds the key for reproducing the region’s success in other parts of Canada. This factor is — simply put — political will. Provincial governments in Atlantic Canada have consistently enacted measures to prevent severe illness and death, protecting human lives over short-term business interests.
