San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake, expert says - LA Times:

On a day when news stories pointed to a study showing parts of the southeast were falling into the planet causing tremors, this new article comes out..

I can only picture the response on LA to the TIMESAVER headline quoting an expert who says the first major quake since he 1800s will soon his the San Andreas and it will be big.. Either extreme fear or an over abundance of complacency ..

For a month now, relatively large quakes have taken place across the earth in the ring of fire (more than one thousand alone in Japan).. But few quakes have been striking the west coast. Nothing major.

That has given rise to the worry that when things do start moving, the strings will be wound so tight it’s going to be big.

These words of caution from an expert in the field are not encouraging.

Maybe the Rock doesn’t have to get his helicopter ready for the southeast.. But the San Andreas in real life could eventually be another story..

Giant chunks of Earth's mantle are FALLING OFF and causing quakes across southeastern US

Giant chunks of Earth's mantle are FALLING OFF and causing quakes across southeastern US :

While the headline from the UK DAILY MAIL sounds alarming, there’s no need to call in the Rock yet. The sky isn’t falling but over a long period of time the ground may fail..

The study concluded by the University of North Carolina suggests that a rash of quakes more than one thousand miles away from the North American plate is because chunks of the mantle are falling back into the earth.. The overall weakening can lead to shaking, explaining with at least one probably theory as to why the unexplained quakes occur..

Of course it’s conjecture at this time, bit if the theory has credibility more weird quakes may take place in the vicinity over coming years…

50% of teens feel addicted to their phones

50% of teens feel addicted to their phones:

This should be no surprise to parents who often try to break their children from mindless staring into their smart devices..

Fifty percent of teens feel they are addicted to their mobile devices, according to the poll, which was conducted for Common Sense Media, a nonprofit focused on helping children, parents, teachers and policymakers negotiate media and technology.

A larger number of parents, 59%, said their teens were addicted. The poll involved 1,240 interviews with parents and their children, ages 12 to 18.

But where I think the study has not gone far enough: The adults who so often more are also addicted.. Maybe even in bigger numbers..

Your love is a drug. Turn it off for a while.
Unplug.
Addictions however are hard to break..

Aerial Pesticide Spraying Possibly Linked To Autism, But Some Scientists Wary Of Connection

Aerial Pesticide Spraying Possibly Linked To Autism, But Some Scientists Wary Of Connection:

Nothing conclusive yet.. But the study was undertaken from 2010 to 2015 in central New York, where spraying is voluminous..
And the link, the researchers seem to implicate by the way of data and evidence, is the high degree of pesticide spraying..

Agribusiness and Monsanto PR employees in overdrive at this time. Lots of press to blitz with information to attempt to speak to the contrary of the study..

The faster we moved vertical farming the better.
