Benzodiazepines <br />https://www.sott.net/article/378365-Americas-other-prescription-drug-epidemic-Benzodiazepines<br /><br />"Benzos" is shorthand for benzodiazepines, a class of drugs often used to treat anxiety and insomnia. The dozen or so different types include Ativan, Klonopin, Valium, and Xanax. Most people have heard of them. More people than you might think are taking them (three benzodiazepines are in the top 10 most commonly prescribed psychotropic medications in the United States). Yet few people realize how many people get addicted to and die from them.

Though weather is often variable and tied to locality, climate is broader-ranging and roughly characterized as average weather over 30 years. When climate changes, it ultimately changes average weather. It thus changes the rules in which weather occurs. So you can end up with weather events that are typically not common or have never been seen before — like category six hurricanes, much more heavy rainfall events, historic and unprecedented droughts, and above freezing temperatures at the North Pole during February even as Arctic air is driven south over Europe.

The 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of 10km at roughly 4am local time (6pm GMT) the heart of the island near the Southern Highlands area, with tremors felt across the country. At least 7 aftershocks over M4.9 earthquakes were reported after the main powerful quake.

It’s the latest seismic activity to add to a swarm of 60 earthquakes greater than magnitude 1 to hit the Danville area in the past week. The largest in the sequence, a magnitude 3.6 earthquake, came at 12:19 p.m. Friday. The U.S. Geological Survey received reports from more than 1,000 people who said they felt the quake, extending from the East Bay and into San Francisco. The quake was quite shallow, less than a third of a mile under the surface of the earth. A magnitude 2.8 aftershock was felt two minutes later.

Still here, still reading, still ...Hey Tom,<br /> Still here, still reading, still kickin'. But for how much longer ? Ha ! Might sound strange but I'm nice to what few little critters I come across these days even pesky things like flies and mosquitoes or at least I don't maniacally pursue them to kill them. There's a slug of sorts that comes out from behind the tiles above the kitchen bench-top late at night to graze and when I catch him in the morning I gently pick him up and put it next to his little exit hole and off it slithers. Even something like that is a miracle of nature. It's anatomy, the way it moves, the patterns on it's skin, as a work of engineering, you know, it's a wonder.
