Fellow counselors 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.400 expressed concern over the economic impact on 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.419 delivery workers. as the proposal awaits commit 00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:47.780 review and a potential council vote. Now onto 00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:52.520 sports. In Miami Gardens, Florida, Dolphins wide 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.740 receiver Tyree Kill will not need another surgery 00:03:55.740 --> 00:03:58.659 after undergoing a major procedure to repair 00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:02.159 his dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, 00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:06.139 including his anterior cruciate ligament.

He added, it's about rehabilitation 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.139 and he will play next season with a realistic 00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:19.639 goal set for the start of the season. Hill suffered 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.459 the injury during the team's 27 -21 victory over 00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:26.620 the New York Jets and was taken to a local hospital 00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:30.839 for further evaluation. Coach Mike McDaniel stated 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.680 he has heard good things about any potential 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.850 nerve damage to Hill's knee. The Dolphins will 00:04:36.850 --> 00:04:39.250 need to replicate Hill's production as they look 00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:43.790 to rebound from a 1 -3 start to the season in 00:04:43.790 --> 00:04:47.649 local sports.

And now, back to the show. 00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:27.819 Let's talk science. Are mosquitoes attracted 00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:31.160 to beer drinkers? Scientists conducted research 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.159 at a music festival to find out. Their study 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:38.580 examined how beer, sunscreen, diet and other 00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:42.820 factors correlate with mosquito attraction. Findings 00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:45.600 suggest that certain behaviors, such as drinking 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.559 beer and avoiding sunscreen, may increase susceptibility 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.120 to bites. While not yet peer -reviewed, this 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.840 is the largest study to investigate the impact 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.220 of hygiene and intoxication on mosquito preferences. 00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:02.899 Understanding mosquito attraction is crucial 00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:06.340 as they spread deadly diseases like malaria and 00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:10.279 dengue. Researchers found that participants who 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.360 drank alcohol or did not use sunscreen were more 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.629 likely to attract mosquitoes. Avoiding beer or 00:09:17.629 --> 00:09:20.590 certain social habits may not reliably prevent 00:09:20.590 --> 00:09:23.789 bites, so protective measures remain essential. 00:09:28.950 --> 00:09:33.110 In the new crime comedy, Bad Man, John William 00:09:33.110 --> 00:09:36.210 Scott takes center stage as Special Agent Bobby 00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:39.049 Gaines, who arrives in the tiny town of Colt 00:09:39.049 --> 00:09:43.049 Lake, Tennessee, to handle a murder case. The 00:09:43.049 --> 00:09:45.769 film, which surprisingly blends humor with crime, 00:09:46.190 --> 00:09:48.909 features a local cop, Sam Evans and his deputy, 00:09:49.389 --> 00:09:52.009 who struggle to keep up with Gaines' unorthodox 00:09:52.009 --> 00:09:55.990 methods. The screenplay, while predictable toward 00:09:55.990 --> 00:09:59.009 the end, showcases quirky characters and sharp 00:09:59.009 --> 00:10:02.450 dialogue that add flavor. Directed by Michael 00:10:02.450 --> 00:10:05.409 DiLiberti, Batman will be available on digital 00:10:05.409 --> 00:10:10.610 platforms starting September 22nd. Well, alrighty 00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:14.629 folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And 00:10:14.629 --> 00:10:18.269 today, our quote comes from the American conservationist 00:10:18.269 --> 00:10:22.570 and author, John Muir. And he said, in every 00:10:22.570 --> 00:10:25.169 walk with nature, one receives far more than 00:10:25.169 --> 00:10:29.370 he seeks. And that's a wrap for this morning. 00:10:30.230 --> 00:10:33.169 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and 00:10:33.169 --> 00:10:36.909 TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with 00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:41.009 local news and the weather reports.
