Adulterated cider kills 16 in Russia, dozens sick

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:52:55 GMT

At least 16 people have died and dozens more have fallen ill after drinking adulterated cider in western Russia's Ulyanovsk region, local officials said on Monday (5 June).Local governor Alexei Russkikh said the product - labelled "Mister Cider" - had been sold on tap after being brought into the region in 30 litre kegs.According to local media, the cider contained lethal amounts of methanol, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol and much more toxic than the ethanol found in regular alcoholic drinks.Authorities detained one person on suspicion of causing death through negligence and ordered the affected goods to be removed from sale.Russkikh said intensive care beds were being set up across the region, located on the river Volga, and that 19 people had been admitted to hospital."Doctors are fighting to save the lives of each of them," he said.Russia tightened controls on the production and sale of alcohol after 77 people died drinking cheap moonshine in Siberia in 2016, but t...

Ask Amy: I overheard their unkind comments about me at the funeral

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:52:55 GMT

Dear Amy: Can you please settle a question? When a loved one dies, who should pay for a luncheon after the service?When my father passed away, I was in a poor financial situation (and still am).After the service, all I wanted to do was go home and have time to myself.I overheard several people grumbling about no after-service meal being readied for the mourners.Why should the grieving party have to be sure that attendees eat afterward? The family is going through enough losing someone dear to them without trying to come up with money to feed the crowd.I feel that if attendees want a meal after the service, someone should gather others and organize something.Your thoughts?– Grieving DaughterDear Grieving: There is no one answer to this. Some families who have the means will cater a lunch. Other families will welcome mourners (many bearing casseroles), back to the home, where a friend or more distant family member will help to organize and serve.Others will meet at the corner pub to r...

Club Q mass shooting victims plan to sue over sheriff’s refusal to use red flag law

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:52:55 GMT

Victims of the Club Q mass shooting plan to sue the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office for refusing to use the state’s red flag law to prevent the suspected shooter from legally buying or possessing guns before the attack last year, according to legal notices obtained by The Denver Post on Monday.Eleven survivors and family members of victims who died in the November attack alerted the county to their plans to sue in May, and claimed that the mass shooting could have been prevented but for the sheriff’s blanket refusal to use extreme risk protection orders, which allow authorities to seize a person’s guns for up to a year if a judge finds that person presents an immediate threat to themselves or others.El Paso County commissioners declared the county a “Second Amendment Preservation County” in 2019, as state lawmakers passed the red flag law, and the sheriff’s office created a policy that said deputies would not seek extreme risk protection orders except in “exigent circumstances.”The ...

Great white sharks lurked near swimmers, surfers 97% of the time in drone study

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:52:55 GMT

As great white sharks make their way back north to Cape Cod for the summer and fall, shark researchers have released “shocking” results from a 2-year drone study — showing that apex predators came very close to people, but simply moved around them or ignored them completely.The study along southern California beaches looked at how close juvenile white sharks get to humans, such as waders, swimmers, surfers, and stand-up paddle boarders.The researchers from Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab revealed that at juvenile white shark aggregation sites, people were near sharks on 97% of the days surveyed. And during the two-year drone study, there were no reported shark bites in any of the surveyed locations.“Frankly, we were shocked,” Christopher Lowe, professor of marine biology and director of CSULB Shark Lab, told the Herald on Monday. “Sharks would interact with people every single day, multiple times a day, and they would just swim by.“It was shocking that these occurrences were happenin...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:52:55 GMT

(CNN) — El derrumbamiento de la represa de Nova Kakhovka, en el sur de Ucrania, desató el temor a una catástrofe ecológica. El presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, describió la situación como “una bomba medioambiental de destrucción masiva”.El nivel del agua seguía subiendo este miércoles después de que la presa y central hidroeléctrica ocupadas por Rusia quedaran destruidas a primera hora de este martes, lo que obligó a más de 1.400 personas a abandonar sus hogares y amenazó el suministro vital de agua, ya que las inundaciones anegaron pueblos, ciudades y tierras de cultivo.Kyiv y Moscú han intercambiado acusaciones sobre la destrucción de la presa, sin aportar pruebas concretas de la culpabilidad de la otra parte. Aún no está claro si la presa fue atacada deliberadamente o si la rotura se debió a un fallo estructural.Zelensky, sin embargo, dijo que Rusia tiene “responsabilidad penal” y que los fiscales ucranianos están investigando el incidente ...
