Magicicada is a plague unlike any other here in the northeast. And it is a plague with a reason:
emerging in absurd over-the-top biblical numbers is the cicada's bizarre--but effective--means of survival.
The writers didn't seem to be any good at math anyway. biblical numbers a slight variation from biblical proportions is indicative of immense catastrophe such as the many that are contained within The Bible (floods plagues Sodom and Gomorrah etc..
Here the writer uses a metaphor claiming cicadas are a plague so his usage of the phrase biblical numbers is appropriate.
How many critters were in the plagues? Would the 2004 Thailand Tsunami be considered Biblical do you think?
#Scientists Reveal The Cause Of The irish Potato Famineit's widely acknowledged that Phytophthora infestans a sort of funguslike pathogen also known as potato blight was responsible for the mid-19th-century potato famine that reduced Ireland's population through death and emigration by nearly 25 percent.
But scientists have uncovered just the specific strain of this pathogen through a first-of-its kind procedure--by analyzing potato plants that have been dead for more than a hundred years.
They've named the new strain HERB-1. This is the first time that scientists have decoded the genome of a plant pathogen from dried plants
These findings will greatly help us to understand the dynamics of emerging pathogens one of the researchers says.

and Ecological Consequences of Fukushima in which the amount of cancers caused by radiation in our food
The total amounts of deaths birth defects miscarriages heart attacks cancers etc. due to nuclear radiation is in the millions upon millions;
Fukushima is expected by Dr. Helen Caldicott M d. to cause at least 1 million deaths by cancer due to radioactivity already released.
If a Magnitude 8 earthquake strikes Japan before a fuel pool dangling 100 feet in the air is secured the resulting radioactivity is expected to be at least 40 times that of Chernobyl causing untold millions of cancers across the Northern hemisphere.
The small amount of radiation claimed to be safe by authorities added to our increasingly fragile environment will cause serious harm to the health of human beings and other living organisms all over the world.
Dr. Yablokov found ONE MILLION deaths due to Chernobyl. 5. Dr. Wing found that lung cancers rose dramatically in people exposed to the Three Mile Island radiation plume. 6. Dr. Gould
and Dr. Sherman found an increase in infant mortality in the U s. after Fukushima. 8. Dr. Mangano also found that in the first 50 weeks after fallout from Japan reached the U s. hypothyroidism increased 28%increase on west
coast. 9. Dr. Gofman did studies on the increases of breast cancer due to nuclear radiation. 10.
Even the pro-nuclear World health organization says breast cancer and leukemia will increase after Fukushima and predicts a 70%increase thyroid cancer risk in females exposed to Fukushima radiation as infants. 11.
It's not just cancers and death that nuclear radiation causes. Dr. Wertelecki found teratomos conjoined twins mocrophthalmia NTD microcephaly horrible birth defects and a decrease in cognitive skills due to Chernobyl.
This is just a TINY example of the cancers deaths birth and health effects caused by nuclear radiation.
Again I highly recommend everyone watch the speakers at the Fukushima Symposium to learn more. www. totalwebcasting. com/view/?

Although radiation may cause cancer at high doses and high dose rates public health data do not absolutely establish the occurrence of cancer following exposure to low doses and dose rates âÂ#Âbelow about 10000 mrem (100 msv).

Polio vaccines are made now with either weakened or killed polio viruses. The weakened type still carries a small risk of reverting to its original form
and causing paralysis. That vaccine is used no longer in the U s . but some other countries give it out
because it doesn't require a highly trained medical professional to administer.)The hollow virus works because its outside stimulates the immune system to create antibodies against it.

Foot-and-mouth disease infects cows pigs and sheep giving the animals fevers and blisters and reducing the amount of milk they give.
Their meat and milk are still technically safe to consume and the disease doesn't affect humans
North american has been free of foot-and-mouth disease for decades but it's still rampant around the globe. Read more about the synthetic foot-and-mouth capsule at PLOS Pathogens.

TYPE II DIABETES is related a lifestyle disease that has reached epidemic proportions having increased 10-fold in a few decades
In observational studies coffee has been associated repeatedly with a lower risk of diabetes. The reduction in risk ranges from 23%all the way up to 67%(11 12 13 14.
Each additional cup of coffee per day lowered the risk of diabetes by 7%.The more coffee people drank the lower their risk (15.
Drinking coffee is associated with a drastically reduced risk of TYPE II DIABETES. People who drink several cups per day are the least likely to become diabetic.
Not only can coffee make you smarter in the short term it may also protect your brain in old age.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world and a leading cause of dementia.
In prospective studies coffee drinkers have up to a 60%lower risk of Alzheimer's and dementia (16 17 18.
Parkinson's is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by death of dopamine-generating neurons in the brain.
Coffee may lower the risk of Parkinson's by 32-60%(19 20 21 22. Bottom line Coffee is associated with a much lower risk of dementia and the neurodegenerative disorders Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The liver is a remarkable organ that carries out hundreds of vital functions in the body.
Cirrhosis is the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism and hepatitis where liver tissue has been replaced largely by scar tissue.
Multiple studies have shown that coffee can lower the risk of cirrhosis by as much as 80%the strongest effect for those who drank 4 or more cups per day (23 24 25.
Coffee may also lower the risk of liver cancer by around 40%(26 27. Bottom line:
Coffee appears to be protective against certain liver disorders lowering the risk of liver cancer by 40%and cirrhosis by as much as 80%.
This effect is particularly profound in type II diabetics one study showing that coffee drinkers had a 30%lower risk of death during a 20 year period (29.
Coffee consumption has been associated with a lower risk of death in prospective epidemiological studies especially in type II diabetics.

It would be weeks before the full impact of Amato's head trauma became apparent:

He searched the Internet for an explanation typing in words like gifted and head trauma.
Amato searched the internet for an explanation typing in words like gifted and head trauma. the results astonished him.
A bad fall at age three left Alonzo Clemons with permanent cognitive impairment Amato learned
Finally Amato found the name Darold Treffert a world-recognized expert on savant syndrome a condition in which individuals who are impaired typically mentally demonstrate remarkable skills.
Treffert now retired from the University of Wisconsin School of medicine diagnosed Amato with acquired savant syndrome.
In the 30 or so known cases ordinary people who suffer brain trauma suddenly develop almost-superhuman new abilities:
The neurological causes of acquired savant syndrome are understood poorly. But the Internet has made it easier for people like Amato to connect with researchers who study savants

#Majority Of Foodborne Illness Caused By Green Vegetableshere's some food for thought: According to a new study by the CDC the greatest number of foodborne illnesses in the U s. are caused not by raw cookie dough
or undercooked meat or questionable shellfish but by leafy green vegetables. Of the 9. 6 million cases of food-borne illness reported each year 51 percent are caused by contaminated plants;
leafy greens alone contribute 23 percent of the total more than any other commodity. All the meat and poultry commodities combined--beef game pork and poultry--were responsible for 22 percent of illness
and dairy carried 17 percent. Many of the contaminants lurking on leafy greens are noroviruses--the bugs that cause
what most of us call the stomach flu--deposited by food handlers according to a story in the New york times
. But before you throw caution to the wind and sit down with a big bowl of raw cookie dough
but poultry is still more likely to kill you. stomach flu--deposited by food handlersdoes this mean the migrants are taking dumps in the field LOLHOW much of this effect is down to the fact that we are all hyper aware of handling raw meats
a lot of this illness could be avoided right at the kitchen by understanding better standard cooking food cleanliness.
Saying the illness IS CAUSED by vegetables is just absolutely wrong and misleading and not a scientific statement by any means.
The foodbourne illness IS CAUSED by dirty workers and too much fertilizer/pesticides. This is a ridiculous title for the article and the article isnt even informative.
Buzz70. Com@-hms-While that's a really good point the study separates incidents into the groups illnesses hospitalizations and deaths.

@African Rover for the most part viral infections are not transmissible between species . If you get norovirus it came from a human and specifically human fecal contact.
