earthquake prediction

I guess you know that there was a major earthquake here in Italy. Lot of people died. There is also this scientist saying that he had predicted the earthquake.

I know that predicting an earthquake is almost impossible. If you knew this prediction would you evacuate your home? Do you think the goverment should have warned people based on this prediction?

If they don't already make it they should. I didn't see the idea on the web yet. What about band-aids with neosporin already applied on the middle padded part? Help cuts heal fast!

What about lights that repel mosquitos?

i don't know if such invention exists already, but think it would be helpful to people in Africa where malaria kills thousands of children every year. I know for example that rats can be repelled with sound, so what if light at a certain frequency could repel mosquitos? What do you think, is this possible?
