    Russian charged with conspiring to interfere in U.S. congressional elections

    Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova, 44, became the first person charged with a crime for attempting to interfere in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, according to a government official with knowledge of the investigation. Khusyaynova was the chief accountant for Project Lakhta, an operation started in 2014 and financed by a Russian oligarch close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and two companies he controls, according to a criminal complaint. The oligarch, Evgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, and his two companies were indicted in February in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's separate investigation of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to boost eventual winner Donald Trump over his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

    Khashoggi case sends fresh chill through Saudi elite

    As each new revelation about the disappearance of the Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi reverberated around the world, there were few outward signs in his homeland that anything was amiss. Outsized images of a smiling King Salman and his son Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince, gazed down on passing motorists from Riyadh’s glass tower blocks as normal.

    The Top 10: Musicians Who Objected to Politicians Using Their Songs

    This list started when Alastair Campbell tried, via Twitter, to persuade Abba to object to Theresa May jiving on to the stage at the Conservative Party conference to “Dancing Queen”. The band had objected to the anti-immigration Danish People’s Party when it played “Mamma Mia” at rallies (changing the “Mia” to “Pia” after their leader, Pia Kjaersgaard, Robert Boston told me). 1. Abba: The band’s publishers also served John McCain with a cease and desist letter for using “Take a Chance on Me” in 2008.

    Melissa Madara was not surprised to receive death threats on Friday as her Brooklyn witchcraft store prepared to host a public hexing of newly confirmed U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh this weekend. "It gives the people who are seeking agency a little bit of chance to have that back," Madara said. The ritual was scheduled to be livestreamed on Facebook and Instagram at 8 p.m. EDT on Saturday (1200 GMT Sunday).
 
So many more selfie deaths I am sure!
A train can and is supposed to run only on its rails.
If people stand on the rails to take selfies and get lost to the external world can you blame the train or its driver ( who too might have been watching the fun) ???

85. Is Fever a Favor?


For more than 2000 years, doctors have believed that fever was Nature’s way of burning out the poison, which made people ill! But in the 20th Century, the doctors developed a different view. They started using drugs to bring down the high temperature of the patients.

But again from the recent researches, it appears that our ancient doctors were right after all. Fever plays an important part in the body’s process of healing itself.

The research began in 1975. Matthew. J. Kluger of the University of Michigan Medical School, decided to investigate fever using reptiles. Human body maintains a constant temperature but reptiles change their body temperatures to suit the temperature of its surroundings. He chose desert Iguanas—small American lizards– for his experiments.

Kluger infected some of the Iguanas with bacteria and kept them in incubators at controlled temperatures. The ones which were kept at 104 degrees Fahrenheit raised their own body temperatures and developed a fever. Later they recovered from the infection induced by the bacteria.

The other lizards kept at 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit, were unable to develop fever and died from the infection. These findings interested the doctors and other scientists. They have focused their attention on Hypothalamus–the part of the brain responsible for maintaining the body temperature around 98.6 degree F.

When bacteria or viruses invade the blood stream, white blood cells rush to fight the harmful invaders and defend the body. They release a substance called “Endogenous Pyrogen” into the blood stream. This adjusts the thermostat in the hypothalamus and raises the body temperature.

The higher body temperature stimulates the production of more white blood cells. The body’s defensive mechanism is reinforced with the arrival of the new cells and they try to identify and destroy the cause of illness.

Not all fevers are beneficial. Prolonged fever at 102 F or more can stress out patients with heart or breathing problems. The temperature higher than 107 F is generally fatal and must be brought down quickly.

A little touch of fever may be helpful but too much will be harmful.

    Trump says US will withdraw from nuclear arms treaty with Russia

    Donald Trump has confirmed the US will leave an arms control treaty with Russia dating from the cold war that has kept nuclear missiles out of Europe for three decades. Trump was referring to the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty (INF), which banned ground-launch nuclear missiles with ranges from 500km to 5,500km. Signed by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, it led to nearly 2,700 short- and medium-range missiles being eliminated, and an end to a dangerous standoff between US Pershing and cruise missiles and Soviet SS-20 missiles in Europe.

 
How much damage done by a person qualifies to be called too much??? :noidea:

    By pulling out of the nuclear treaty with Russia, Donald Trump has eroded what little trust was left between the two nations

    The United States has declared its intention to rescind unilaterally one of the landmark treaties that helped end the Cold War. The 1987 agreement with Russia, as the then Soviet Union, ended the deployment of medium to long range nuclear missiles by Nato and the Warsaw Pact in Europe. Signed by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, the treaty was symbolic as well as practical: soon the ideological war between east and west would also end, with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of communism and the abolition of the USSR.
