Previous attempts to convert manga comics to movie format have failed, ie. Dragonball and The Ghost in the Shell, though I did enjoy watching Scarlett Johansson.
Cameron and Rodriguez succeeded though it didn’t really show in the US box office numbers. The film grossed $85.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $319.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $404.9 mill

When I rented the DVD from Netflix I knew nothing about the movie. It just sounded interesting. Since then I have been doing a lot of reading online about Alita: Battle Angel. The movie is based on a 1990s Manga series by Yukito Kishiro. James Cameron was fascinated by the story and purchased the film rights back in 1999. Production was announced in 2003 but was continually delayed while Cameron

Yes, those are feed bunks. Rats & mice will hide anywhere they think is predator proof, preferably under concrete. Just about any farm that feeds animals has problems with mice & rats.
A few years ago mice found a way into my tractor cab and gnawed the insulation off some electric wires. Cost about $500 to get a mechanic to come out and find the problem. Currently have 3 cats to keep the

I don't understand, the book has been on Gutenberg since early December.

Did a quick read on Methotrexate and that is what would suppress your immune system. The chloroquine kills the malaria parasite in the red blood cells. Nobody seems to know why it would be effective against Covid-19 but it seems to work. Trump mentioned it in a press conference today. In the US it is available by prescription only and will probably be in short supply if used to treat anyone testi

Covid-19 patients will be given two drugs previously used to treat AIDS and malaria at about 50 hospitals in Australia, with tests expected to start by the end of this month. The drugs r

Nature in at least one case has duplicated the same effect with the mullein plant.
"Animals rarely graze it because of its irritating hairs, and liquid herbicides require surfactants to be effective, as the hair causes water to roll off the plant, much like the lotus effect."
After a rain or heavy dew you can see beads if water sitting on top of the hairs but not touching the leaf

No problem on the copyright issue, I was planning to put the book on Project Gutenberg anyway. Just didn't realized how long it would take!

First the book must be old enough that any copyright has expired or as in this case the author never claimed copyright.
I scanned in all 411 pages, two at a time. I later regretted that decision when converting to MS Word. Next I processed the scanned images through ABBYY which did an amazing job converting the scans into text. There were several sections next to the spine that didn’t scan wel

Researchers at outdoor “body farms” look to microbes of human decay to help identify corpses and pinpoint time of death.
This article is of particular interest to me because of Dr. William Bass. In the late 1960s Bill Bass taught Anthro 1 at the University of Kansas. It was one of the most popular classes on campus with several hundred students each semester. He was a great teacher and ent
