Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said repairs to those turbines have not been made “because of sanctions.” “There are no other reasons that would cause pumping problems,” Peskov said....

Historically, Splatoon’s single-player campaigns have focused on acclimating you to the waters of the much more frenetic and thrilling multiplayer combat modes.

Source: University of Bristol A woman’s mercury level during pregnancy is unlikely to have an adverse effect on the development of the child provided that the mother eats fish, according to a new University of Bristol-led study. The findings, which drew together analyses on over 4,131 pregnant mothers from the Children of the 90s study in the UK, with similar detailed studies in the Seychelles, are published in NeuroToxicology.

The study, led by John Whitney at the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research, shows that the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, known to cause hospital-acquired infections such as pneumonia, secretes a toxin that has evolved to kill other types of bacteria. . For Whitney, the key aspect of his discovery is not just that this toxin kills bacteria, but how it does so. This research is important because it shows that the toxin targets key RNA molecules of other bacteria, effectively rendering them non-functional....

Comment A historically severe September heat wave is baking the West, breaking hundreds of records, endangering public health and pushing California’s power grid to the limit. Some records have been broken by wide margins as the hot air mass exacerbates fire danger in the drought-stricken region.
