Nutrient deficiencies of Vitamin B6, B12, and folate increase homocysteine levels which causes inflammation in the body. The ability of this gene to turn this switch on or off is crucial for the production of glutathione, the body's most important antioxidant. [more]<br /><br />Death By Amazon.

Roy Cooper (D) heard back from President Trump on his request for $929 million in aid to help with unmet hurricane [Matthew] recovery costs. Cooper sought funding mainly through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program.<br /><br />Cooper expressed “shock and disappointment’’ over the federal response.<br /><br />The Trump administration had denied more than 99 percent of the aid Cooper sought, providing the state a mere $6.1 million. The governor, working with his state’s congressional delegation ― including Republican Sen. Thom Tillis ― had estimated nearly $700 million needed to meet housing needs, more than $170 million to assist farmers, repair public facilities and provide health services to storm survivors, and $39 million to help close to 700 small businesses. <br /><br /> under Trump’s budget blueprint, funding for long-term disaster relief programs would be slashed. HUD, which steps in after the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help with long-term rebuilding, would see its funding cut by $6.2 billion, a 13 percent decrease. The HUD block grant program through which Cooper had requested much of his desired funding would have its $3 billion budget eliminated entirely.[more]<br />[dat's how a bidnissman do it!; so if you're unlucky enough to be totally devastated by (now commonplace) disasters - don't expect any help]<br /><br />EPA sued a second time over Lake Erie's toxic algae problem<br />https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/energy-environment/epa-sued-a-second-time-over-lake-eries-toxic-algae-problem<br /><br />[EPA = Environmental Pollution Advocates]<br /><br />Enjoy your day, everyone.<br /><br />Tom<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-58737522556719818522017-05-19T06:55:27.042-05:002017-05-19T06:55:27.042-05:00Swiss to vote on nuclear power phaseout [smart]

Earlier this month, I wrote about how 45 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater hit Alaska in just one 24 hour period. This week, it is volcanic activity that is raising concerns. The earthquake swarms at Mount St. Helens are making headlines all over the globe, and on Tuesday two major volcanoes in Alaska suddenly erupted on the exact same day…<br /><br />Overall, 39 volcanoes around the world are either erupting right now or have recently erupted according to Volcano Discovery.

Driving along for about half an hour, noticed some line work happening on the other side of the road while going down a slight hill. Did you ever get so high that you hear a loud buzzing and everything gets fuzzy, your vision blurs and you don't know what's going on? Well, that's what happened. My car windows were down, since it was getting warm (and my goddamn a/c STILL doesn't work after putting like $600 into it last fall - it wouldn't shut off then; now it won't cool!). I stayed calm and there wasn't much traffic so I didn't have to worry about hitting anyone in front of me (and no one was behind me). It passed after about 15 seconds. I yelled out loud "What the FUCK was THAT all about!" and continued to my appointment. Nothing else happened. In a "severe" case, I guess you'd just pass out or DIE and crash. Otherwise, i'm in perfect health - seriously - no problems whatsoever, no pain, no "condition" or medication, I don't even have a fucking COLD! So what is it? Brain aneurysm? Nah - that would have been fatal. Pass out for no reason at all while no even exerting myself? i'm not stressed in the least - because I've already completely accepted the fact that i'm gonna die pretty soon (relatively speaking). In fact, I was thinking for a split second - is this how it ends? - while it was happening. It gets your attention!<br /><br />Now, see - if I was transporting RADIOACTIVE waste, I might feel sick (like the trucker in the story above) too. I mean, ca-mon - that shit'll KILL ya just being anywhere near it!<br /><br />Geez there's a lot of people dropping dead and having 'medical episodes' (or 'conditions') lately.

What else would cause that but FLAMMABLE GAS permeating up (or down) to the electric window or door lock connection and sparking?
