The Dumb Alien Mummy Story Takes an Entirely Predictable Turn

A week ago, two bodies believed to be a muddle of human and animal bones were presented in Mexico’s Congress as proof of alien life. Now the scientific community is fighting back.

Frank said the scientists had not gathered to discuss Maussan’s “decades of ridiculous conspiracy claims,” but rather because of where Maussan had delivered his latest outlandish claims. Maussan’s appearance in Mexico’s Congress had, Frank argued, “turned the world upside down” and made scientific rationality in Mexico the subject of ridicule. “What is at stake here is whether our country will follow science or superstitions and quackery.”

ASIC slaps an eight-year ban on former PwC partner Peter Collins.

The man at the centre of the Pricewaterhouse Coopers tax leak scandal has copped a massive blow to his reputation with the country’s financial watchdog blocking him from the world of finance until the 2030s.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission announced on Friday it had formally banned former PwC partner Peter Collins from providing financial services or controlling an entity that carries on a financial services business for eight years.

“For the duration of his ban, Mr Collins cannot provide financial services, control an entity that carries on a financial services business or perform any function involved in the carrying on of a financial services business,” ASIC stated.....

Why Nigeria’s lax attitude to names is causing a fuss

There has been quite a hullaballoo in Nigeria recently over the fact that the three top candidates in February's presidential elections presented academic records showing different names to those by which they are now known...

Most Nigerians have more than one name apart from their surname. Most people I know have as many as five or six.

Moves are being made here to outlaw the new "asbestos" of our century.

Engineered stone ban needed to protect workers from silicosis, Safe Work Australia report says.

A new report has called for a ban on all engineered stone in Australia, but governments will not make any changes until they decide on a "national response".

Engineered stone, a popular material often used for kitchen benches, has been linked to a surge in incurable lung disease among stonemasons due to its high silica content.

The most common is silicosis, an irreversible lung condition that at its worst can cause premature death.

Safe Work Australia was asked to look at possible solutions to the crisis, but concluded a complete ban was the only option, saying regulators had failed to protect workers from the deadly disease.

"Continued work with engineered stone poses an unacceptable risk to workers," the report said.......

.......Doctors started publicly sounding the alarm about the silicosis "epidemic" back in 2018, telling the ABC it could become the biggest lung disease crisis since asbestos.

Graeme Edwards, an occupational physician and member of the former National Dust Disease Taskforce, believes the government should have announced a national ban today, given the dangers of engineered stone have been known for years.

"Abdicating their responsibility to make that judgement call is tantamount to industrial manslaughter," he said.......

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A new challenge making waves on social media pokes fun at Florida’s reputation for producing strange news stories involving guns, drugs, booze and reptiles — or some combination of the four.

The challenge invites participants to run their birthday and “Florida man” through a search engine to find out which headline pops up. Then they must post the result on social media.
