    The editor-in-chief of one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals has said doctors and medical professionals should engage in protests to address climate change. Richard Horton of' The Lancet said that engaging in these protests is part of the duty of a doctor. He said that the General Medical Council (GMC) should be fully supportive of health professionals who engage in climate protests based on its own guidelines on the duties of a doctor. His statement comes after multiple health organizations have taken action on climate change in the United Kingdom.

    When we think of deadly poisons, most of our minds will jump instantly to arsenic. George III of England, Napoleon Bonaparte and the Gaungxu Emperor of China are all thought to have died from its effects — either from a deliberate assassination or accidental exposure. Just 200 milligrams — around the weight of a raindrop — is enough to kill someone within two hours. The first sign is a metallic taste in your mouth, followed by vomiting and seizures, and death. It sounds horrific — but arsenic is positively innocuous compared to other substances.

    Consider tetrodotoxin (TTX), a poison found in puffer fish and blue-ringed octopuses that leaves you paralysed as your body goes through some agonising reactions. “Your lips and tongue will begin to burn, your mouth will erupt with saliva and you’ll get very sweaty,” Dominic Burgess from BritLab explains. “You’ll no longer be able to speak, swallow, seizures will begin and your body will slowly shut down — all while you are completely lucid but unable to move.” Death comes after six hours of symptoms and there is no antidote.

    Often these poisons are alarmingly close to home. One lethal chemical — cardiac glycoside digoxin — can be found in a common garden flower, while the deadliest can be seen in many hospitals; just 2 kg would be enough to wipe out the whole of the human race.

Mysterious delivery: 50 old TVs appear on neighborhood’s porches

Associated Press Published 9:16 p.m. ET Aug. 13, 2019 | Updated 9:40 p.m. ET Aug. 13, 2019

 

RICHMOND, Va. – Police in Virginia say more than 50 television sets _____________ mysteriously placed on front porches in a neighborhood outside Richmond. Henrico County police Lt. Matt Pecka said residents found older model televisions outside their front doors Sunday morning.

He told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that video from one doorbell camera showed a person wearing TVshaped headgear while dropping off a TV set.

Police believe that more than one person is responsible. A similar incident occurred in a nearby neighborhood last year.

It’s unclear if the incident is a crime. Pecka said that dropping off the televisions on front porches is “at most” illegal dumping.

Most of the TVs will be recycled. But a couple residents indicated they would keep their televisions for now.
