Monsanto known for controversial chemicals

Posted: 11 Aug 2018 07:38 AM PDT

Monsanto known for controversial chemicalsFrom "Agent Orange" and DDT to genetically modified crops, Monsanto has long been associated with controversial chemicals, but a US court order for it to pay damages because one of its herbicides may cause cancer could open the door to thousands more claims against the company. A California jury on Friday ordered the US agrochemicals giant -- which was taken over by Germany's Bayer in June -- to pay nearly $290 million in compensation to a groundskeeper diagnosed with cancer after he repeatedly used Monsanto's weed killer, Roundup. The lawsuit built on 2015 findings by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the UN World Health Organization, which classified Roundup's main ingredient glyphosate as a probable carcinogen.

Turkey is a 'target of economic war', Erdogan says

Posted: 11 Aug 2018 10:02 AM PDT

Turkey is a 'target of economic war', Erdogan saysSpeaking after U.S. President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum imports, Erdogan described Friday's 18 percent fall in the lira to a record low as the 'missiles' of an economic war waged against Turkey. Erdogan said those who plotted against Turkey in a failed coup attempt in July 2016 were now trying to target the country through its economy, and pledged to fight back. "Those who can't compete with us on the ground have brought online fictional currency plots that have nothing to with the realities of our country, production and real economy," Erdogan told a provincial meeting of his AK Party in the Black Sea coastal town of Rize.


Greek cat sanctuary 'overwhelmed' with emails after advertising paid job on idyllic island with 55 felines

Posted: 12 Aug 2018 10:13 AM PDT

Greek cat sanctuary 'overwhelmed' with emails after advertising paid job on idyllic island with 55 felinesThe job advert on Facebook sounded almost too good to be true. A living wage, a car, a lovely house to live in - bills paid - with a terrace overlooking the Aegean, just a short walk from a pristine beach on the Greek island of Syros. The job? Caring for up to 70 cats amounting to four hours of work per day. Nearly 1,000 Britons applied for the role after the announcement posted by Greek cat sanctuary owner Joan Bowell on Facebook last week went viral. Her inbox is brimming with applications from hopeful cat caretakers convinced they are the "responsible, reliable, honest, practically inclined" person with a heart of gold she is looking for. Veterinarians, doctors, even refugees applied.     "We were doing a quiet thing on a Greek island -  but no more," Mrs Bowell's husband, Richard, 65, told The Telegraph. The job involves just four hours work per day Credit: Facebook Mrs Boswell, a Briton, and Mr Boswell, from Denmark, moved to the island of Syros seven years ago.  They found kittens thrown away in garbage cans, bony cats relying on scraps, feral and injured cats that needed care. The couple began taking in strays and working with local veterinarians to improve the health of village cat colony and the overall island population. They backed a sterilisation project, funded dental operations, had sick eyes removed, and nursed motherless kittens through the night. If cat dies, Mrs Bowell buries them and places a stone. "Now you hardly see distressed cats on Syros," Mr Bowell says. "It all started here." Sanctuary owners Joan and Richard Bowell have been overwhelmed by the interest in the advert Credit: Facebook Today the sanctuary is home to anywhere from 55-70 cats, all led around by the resident caretaker cat, Snowy. Mrs Bowell founded God's Little People Cat Rescue charity to support the sanctuary with donations and started a Facebook page. At first her posts got a handful of likes as she tried to find homes for cats on Syros. "Then she posted this, it went viral and people have been phoning from all over the world."   This fall, the couple plans to return New York, where Mr Bowell has work commitments with the United Nations.  They have drafted five volunteers across Europe to narrow down the 3,000 applications from people offering to take their place – mostly Americans and British nationals – to a pool of 50-100.  The job also comes with a car, bills paid, and a stunning view of the Aegean Credit: Facebook There are those that start out with: "I've always wanted to live on a Greek island," those who boldly proclaim: "I am your person" and those who say: "What is behind this?" and want to know more about the sanctuary's philosophy.   "Those are the ones that catch our attention," Mr Bowell said of the latter. "Sometimes whispers are best heard." The position comes with a salary up to €600 (£536) a month, with bills, housing and veterinary expenses paid, starting November 1, after a voluntary two-week transition period in October.   There are bonus points for veterinarian skills, cat psychology skills for handling feral or non-sociable felines. 


California blazes threaten populated areas

California blazes threaten populated areasAuthorities battling massive wildfires in large swathes of California issued mandatory evacuation orders and health warnings Friday over the worsening air quality as the flames grew ever closer to populated areas. After almost a month of wildfires, the National Weather Service warned that satellite images showed "widespread smoke" drifting from the fires into western and central Canada before heading back south in the US Northern Plains. Its largest blaze, the Ranch Fire, was only 53 percent contained compared to 87 percent for its twin River Fire.

Judge clears way for America's first execution using fentanyl

Posted: 10 Aug 2018 10:00 PM PDT

Judge clears way for America's first execution using fentanylA judge on Friday refused to block Nebraska from carrying out the state's first-ever lethal injection despite a pharmaceutical company's claims that the state illicitly obtained its drugs, clearing the way for the country's first execution with fentanyl. US District Judge Richard Kopf denied the company's request to temporarily block state prison officials from executing Carey Dean Moore, one of the nation's longest-serving death row inmates. Moore is scheduled to die on Tuesday in Nebraska's first execution since 1997 with a never-before-tried combination of drugs. Moore, who was convicted of killing two cab drivers five days apart in 1979, has stopped fighting the state's efforts to execute him. Mr Kopf said granting the drug company's request would "frustrate the will of the people," referring to the 61 percent of Nebraska voters who chose to reinstate capital punishment in 2016 after lawmakers abolished it. "I will not allow the plaintiff to frustrate the wishes of Mr Moore and the laws of the state of Nebraska," he said during the hearing. At a glance | Fentanyl Attorneys for the drug company, Fresenius Kabi, filed a lawsuit earlier this week arguing that state officials improperly obtained at least one of the company's drugs. Attorney Mark Christensen said the company planned to file an immediate appeal of Friday's ruling. In Nevada, a judge indefinitely postponed an execution last month after drugmaker Alvogen filed a similar lawsuit over one of its products. Moore is scheduled to be executed with a combination of four drugs: the sedative diazepam, commonly known as Valium, to render him unconscious; fentanyl citrate, a powerful synthetic opioid, which would help render him unconscious; cisatracurium besylate to induce paralysis and halt his breathing; and potassium chloride to stop his heart. US death penalty by state Fentanyl is among the drugs that have fuelled America's opioid epidemic. Prince died after accidentally overdosing on the painkiller. Pharmaceutical companies have become increasingly intent on preventing their life-saving or pain relieving products being tainted with use in executions. Campaigners against capital punishment believe it has left American states with a finite supply of lethal chemicals. Fresenius Kabi argues that it manufactured the state's supply of potassium chloride and possibly the cisatracurium. Nebraska state officials have refused to identify the source of their execution drugs, but Fresenius Kabi alleges the state's supply of potassium chloride is stored in 30 millilitre bottles. Fresenius Kabi said it's the only company that packages the drug in vials of that size. Fresenius Kabi said Nebraska's use of its drugs would damage its reputation and business relationships. The company said it takes no position on capital punishment, but strongly opposes the use of its products for use in executions. No other public evidence has surfaced to confirm the supplier's identity. A state judge in Nebraska ordered prison officials in June to release documents that might reveal the source of the drugs, but the state has appealed that ruling. State attorneys deny Fresenius Kabi's allegation that prison officials obtained the drugs illicitly.

A new protest is organizing to get Alex Jones booted off of Twitter

Posted: 12 Aug 2018 11:57 AM PDT

A new protest is organizing to get Alex Jones booted off of TwitterAlex Jones is still on Twitter, despite the fact that he repeatedly violated the platform's rules of conduct. But this is 2018, and Twitter users are ready to protest. Before we go any further, let's be clear about some terminology: Jones supporters would have you believe that his recent removal from other platforms is an act of censorship and a violation of First Amendment rights. That's simply untrue. SEE ALSO: How the dominoes in Alex Jones' social media empire all fell at once The First Amendment's free speech protections apply to all citizens, including the people behind the social media companies that gave him the boot. If these private interests decided they didn't want Jones peddling his conspiracy theories on their platforms, that's their right. Jones is free to say whatever he wants, but there are no guarantees on where he can say it. Facebook decided, after lots of pressure, that Jones maintaining a presence on the platform was worse for business than his forced removal. So now he's gone. Twitter made the opposite determination. Jones broke the platform's rules. CNN even proved it. But the company has made its stance clear: Evidence or not, Jones won't be punished for his past behavior. The hypocrisy is hard to miss when all of this came just a few days after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey shared his thoughts on Jones being removed from other platforms. Truth is we've been terrible at explaining our decisions in the past. We're fixing that. We're going to hold Jones to the same standard we hold to every account, not taking one-off actions to make us feel good in the short term, and adding fuel to new conspiracy theories. — jack (@jack) August 8, 2018 (Note: The above tweets are part of a larger thread.) Here's the thing about Twitter, though: Just like Facebook, it's a business. Also like Facebook, ad dollars are a big part of what helps the company stay afloat. Promoted tweets, hashtags, and accounts are moneymakers. The other thing about Twitter that's important here: Users have control over what they see when they look at their timeline. If an undesirable account appears in your feed, you can mute or block it and that's that. This safety feature works regardless of whether the account being blocked/muted is paying to promote a tweet or not. Right now, a protest action is taking shape that encourages users to block Twitter's advertisers en masse, using a block list. It's a simple concept: If lots of users publicly and loudly block the interests that pay for the audience reach Twitter provides, those interests might apply the pressure needed to get Jones removed from the platform. The protest is being spearheaded by Shannon Coulter, an activist who founded a similar action called GrabYourWallet, which puts pressure on companies for carrying Trump-related products. Though it should be noted that Coulter credits the idea to her friend (also the founder of MeetingPlanner.io and AmericaPossible.com) Jeff Reifman.  Coulter laid out how this GrabYourWallet-adjacent protest against Twitter's lack of action would work in a Sunday thread. Good morning! To encourage Twitter to drop Alex Jones, I just blocked the Twitter accounts of every Fortune 500 company w/ a Twitter presence. Ready to mass block Twitter's most lucrative advertisers with me? There are three quick & easy ways. Instructions are in this thread. — Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) August 12, 2018 The thread runs through a number of different options. There's a blocking tool that Coulter created, accessible right here. The advantage to using the tool is you don't have to do anything beyond adding it to your profile. If Twitter does boot Jones, all the companies listed will be unblocked automatically. For those that would rather avoid authorizing Twitter account access, there's also this handy Google Doc. It's the same list of companies, but you need to block them manually — a process that would obviously take some time. "Even if you only blocked the top 25 to 50 , that would have impact," Coulter wrote. The third option is for those that don't mind getting a little more technical. Twitter allows users to import block lists via .CSV files. You'll need to grab this Google Doc containing the Twitter IDs for all the to-be-blocked companies, but the process is fairly simple. Then go to "Settings & Privacy" in your Twitter account. Select "Blocked Accounts" on left. Select "Advanced Options" & "Import a List." Select "Attach a File to Upload" then choose the CSV file. When Twitter drops Jones, you'll have to manually unblock the companies one by one. — Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) August 12, 2018 Coulter adds that you should be willing to unblock the affected companies if Twitter does relent on its stance of protecting Jones.  Blocking these accounts until Twitter drops Alex Jones means you'll no longer see either these companies' timeline Tweets or promoted Tweets. You'll still see their promoted hashtags, but that's not something most companies do very often. — Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) August 12, 2018 A few notes: not all Fortune 500 companies actually have a Twitter presence but every one that does is on this list. We also added several larger companies that are not in the Fortune 500 but that have run large Twitter ad campaigns in the recent past like Samsung & HR Block. — Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) August 12, 2018 The whole effort is happening under its very own hashtag: #BlockParty500. It's still early — Coulter only laid out the idea in full, action plan and all, on Sunday. But there's already a lot of activity at that hashtag, and Coulter herself has provided one update so far (as of this writing) on how it's spreading. Adding on to the original thread to say that we're now up to 5,380 people participating in the mass block of Fortune 500 companies on Twitter. That means for the last hour, we've continued to add about 40 new subscriptions per minute! How I love watching you all flex! �� — Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) August 12, 2018 These types of protests have proven themselves to be effective in recent times, so give it a shot if you're furious at the double-standard Twitter apparently applied to protect Jones. WATCH: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No. It's an inflatable Trump baby flying around London

Electric scooters face backlash from cities across the US after mayhem on the streets

Posted: 11 Aug 2018 10:34 AM PDT

Electric scooters face backlash from cities across the US after mayhem on the streetsElectric scooters, billed as the new and environmentally friendly way of commuting, are facing a backlash from cities across the US. Billions of dollars have been pumped into innovative high-tech companies like Lime, Bird and Spin, headquartered in California. Combined, the companies operate in more than 100 US cities as well as around half a dozen in Europe, including Paris. They are still banned in the UK. The scooters are booked via an app. They normally cost around one dollar (78 pence)  to unlock and 15 cents (12p) a minute to rent. Users can then zip around town, avoiding urban gridlock as they weave around traffic and, in some cases, pedestrians. But according to many city authorities, the result has been mayhem on the streets. Pedestrians have complained of having to take evasive action to get out of the way of scooters which can reach top speeds of 15mph. Residents have also been incensed by the clutter of scooters being haphazardly dumped by riders when they have finished using them. Now several municipalities have declared enough is enough. Riders make their way across a street on Bird electric scooters in the Venice Beach section of Los Angeles Credit: AP/Richard Vogel San Francisco, for example, served cease and desist orders on electric scooter companies which led to the vehicles being taken off the streets.  Santa Monica instructed police to enforce road traffic laws, requiring riders to have a driving licence and wear a helmet. Kansas City has banned them from the shopping areas. On the east coast, Boston's Mayor Martin Walsh has said the electric scooters will be impounded if they appear. "The scooters just arrived one day," said Julian Gold, the Mayor of Beverly Hills in California. "It is not as if they came up to us and said they were going to do this. People ride Lime and Bird scooters along the strand in Santa Monica, California Credit: Richard Vogel/AP "They gave no thought to the consequences and the consequences were pretty significant. People were riding in a dangerous manner, they were not wearing helmets, they were falling off. "People in the hospital emergency room were telling us that the number of injuries was pretty significant. "They weren't like rental bikes which were put back into a rack, they were being left anywhere, on people's lawns or in their driveways,"  Dr Gold said. "We have our police department enforcing this and it is taking up resources which should be devoted to fighting crime. "We were left playing catch up. The backlash has not just been at the government level but from residents as well." The industry regards these difficulties as teething troubles as cities get used to a new form of transport. "Cities and Bird share a common goal of reducing carbon emissions," said a   Bird spokesman. "We want to collaborate and have productive conversations to bring this equitable and environmentally friendly transportation option to people globally."

"We can admit that consensus on the status of the sea was hard to reach and not immediate, the talks lasted more than 20 years and called for a lot of joint efforts from the parties," Nazarbayev said. Russian leader Vladimir Putin, whose country was seen as driving the deal, said the convention had "epoch-making significance" and called for more military cooperation between the countries on the Caspian.
