Most of the victims were teens and kids, said Ventura County Fire officials.

Chlorine gas likely. In 10 years when some of them become breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, or gallbladder cancer statistics no one will ever be able to trace it back. And I really don’t understand people chlorinating their swimming pools.
The FDA warned pet owners on Thursday that some flea and tick medicine could cause neurologic adverse events for dogs and cats.

In the first papers from NASA’s Cassini mission’s Grand Finale, scientists describe unexpectedly complicated phenomena found in the gap between Saturn and its rings.

From an origin of Life perspective. One of the most important aspects of Gunter Wachtershauser‘s fantastic Theory is a stable source of heat and chemically reactive gases. The generation of heat (20 Earth sized power plants!) in Saturn’s atmosphere is very intriguing to me
Saturn is wrapped in bands of winds, with the one at the equator traveling fastest and those to the north and south moving more slowly. When a loop-like structure of magnetic field aligns so that one end is in that equatorial band and the other is not, the equatorial wind tugs at the charged particles of plasma around it, which in turn skews the magnetic-field line.
The result that Cassini measured is an electric current as strong as 20 large terrestrial power plants combined. As a side effect, that current also produces heat in the atmosphere around it, which may help explain a long-standing mystery about Saturn. “One of the enigmas of Saturn’s thermosphere is, it’s hotter than expected,” Krishan Khurana, a magnetosphere scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, and lead author on the paper, told Space.com. “This provides a part of the answer.”
Awesome! Life in a methane ocean with a ferric/uranium information molecule???

“Endosulfan appears to be about 1,000-times more lethal to amphibians than other pesticides that we have examined,” Relyea said. “Unfortunately, pesticide regulations do not require amphibian testing, so very little is known about endosulfan’s impact on amphibians
Wow I didn’t know that our EPA doesn’t even require testing on amphibians. Wow.
The epidemic that put Latin America on high alert has left open questions about its causes and the accumulation of economic interests that have converged around the scourge
Also from the same source:
As in our neighbouring countries, many epidemics are associated with insect vectors, followed by a lucrative strategy of pesticides-resistance-more pesticides. These same epidemics are often attributed to a virus, although this is not always [scientifically] demonstrated, but is quickly proposed in order to develop the vaccine panacea.
Hmmmmm very interesting.

Wow! Just some information for you.

A new study of how plants grew in the environments of the dinosaur age offers some new clues about their populations.

This one is just fun :-) but please do pay attention to the CO2 levels. And please, I would like to point out that lower nitrogen levels simply stems from the fact that the plants had higher sugar levels. Just exactly what is meant by the word “nutrient”:-)
Commonly used household cleaners could be making children overweight by altering their gut microbiota, suggests a new study.

In my opinion this story is likely true. As I have posted many times here (https://www.puravidaaquatic.com/wordpress/3-reasons-no-4-reasons-why-were-fatter-than-30-years-ago/) , our gut microbiota is incredibly complex and incredibly important in how our bodies respond to nutrition.
