US recalls more than 200 million eggs over salmonella fears
Nearly 207 million eggs from a farm in North Carolina are being recalled from nine U.S. states after 22 people fell ill, the federal Food and Drug Administration has said.
It is the largest recall of eggs in the United States since 2010, the Food Safety News website reported.
The eggs may have been contaminated with salmonella braenderup, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems, the FDA said on Friday in a statement.
2 dead in L.A. music studio fire
Firefighters discovered two people dead and two injured in a greater-alarm blaze at a music recording studio in Universal City Saturday morning, 3m360 Los Angeles reports. The Los Angeles Fire Department arrived just before 7 a.m. to a one-story commercial building to find heavy smoke, with flames burning inside a 75-foot by 50-foot music studio.
Two males were discovered dead at the scene, Los Angeles police Capt. William Hayes said at a Saturday afternoon news briefing. Two others, a male and a female, were rushed to nearby hospitals in critical condition. Firefighters initially said a third person had been hurt, but Hayes later clarified that only two had been hurt. No names were immediately released.
Bon Jovi Take Center Stage at 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
The Cars, Dire Straits, The Moody Blues, Nina Simone & Sister Rosetta Tharpe were also inducted at 33rd annual ceremony.
The Moody Blues’ Graeme Edge expressed the thoughts of many of the members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2018 during the 33rd annual induction ceremony on Saturday night (April 14) in Cleveland’s Public Auditorium. Acknowledging the Moodys’ long period of eligibility before finally being nominated, thanks in part to aggressive campaigning on behalf of the band’s fans, Edge -- the oldest living inductee of the evening at 77 -- said, “It was so long that we were eligible and didn’t make it that I got a real sour grapes [feeling] for everything about it. … When it actually became something for us all to appreciate and have, I did realize that it means the world to me.”

I’m now convinced that the depression-serotonin connection is a myth created by drug companies to sell their selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs
Most doctors will still tell you depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain that leads to low serotonin levels. The theory is more than 60 years old.
And I have to admit, I believed it for a long time. I’ve even written to you about it…
But I’m now convinced that the depression-serotonin connection is a myth created by drug companies to sell their selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs.
Big Pharma has made a fortune on our modern epidemic of depression. Most doctors are quick to offer not just one but two or even three pills for everything from low mood to major depression.
The serotonin myth has been a huge marketing success. Doctors write more than 250 million prescriptions for SSRIs like Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil every year.
But when researchers took a look at 38 clinical trials covering 3,000 depressed patients on these drugs they found that 75% of mood improvement came from the drugs’ placebo effect.
In other words, you could take a sugar pill and get the same benefits.
In one animal study, researchers knocked out the part of the brain that makes serotonin. You would think that would produce some very depressed mice. But the mice with no serotonin were no more depressed than a control group.1
And in another study, researchers tested serotonin levels in spinal fluid taken from two groups of people. One group was depressed patients. The other group had no depression. Results showed both groups had the exact same levels of serotonin.2
It’s no wonder that studies show SSRIs and other depression drugs don’t work.3
For years I’ve been saying that depression is not as simple as low serotonin. It’s more likely to be caused by inflammation.
Let me explain…
A study from Emory University found a clear link between inflammation and depression. Patients with major depression had more inflammation. Researchers also found that reducing inflammation may lift depression in patients.4
And our modern grain-based diet is at the root of that inflammation. The inflammatory protein gluten in many grains has been linked to depression…
In a study from Australia, 22 people on a gluten-free diet were given gluten, whey or a placebo for just three days. Then they were tested for their mental state. Those getting gluten scored much higher on the depression scale than the others.5
I don’t prescribe antidepressants. Instead, I advise my patients to avoid grains and get back to what I call a “primal way of eating.” Our primal ancestors never ate grains. And they weren’t chronically depressed.
To eat like our ancestors, get most of your calories from fat and protein. Look for grass-fed beef and dairy products, wild-caught cold-water fish and poultry and eggs from pastured animals. Choose traditional healthy fats like olive oil, butter and coconut oil.
Relieve Depression without Big Pharma’s Fake Drugs
And if depression does strike, I recommend some natural compounds to lift your mood. Here are three of the best I’ve found.
SAMe. This co-enzyme is one of the main building blocks your brain needs to produce neurotransmitters. It’s been used in Europe to treat depression for over 20 years. In a Harvard study, psychiatrists treated 30 patients with major depression who didn’t respond to Big Pharma’s drugs. They gave the patients 800 mg to 1,600 mg of SAMe daily. After just six weeks 50% of the patients responded to SAMe. And a remarkable 43% even had a remission of their symptoms!
I recommend you take 200 mg a day to start. If after two weeks you don’t see a big improvement, increase to 400 mg.
Omega-3 Fats. Studies show omega-3 fats help ward off depression. People who take in more omega-3s have increased gray matter in the areas of the brain that control depression, emotions and mood. Even bipolar patients who don’t respond to drugs have been shown to improve with omega-3s.
Over the years I’ve found that it’s almost impossible to get enough omega-3s from your diet. I recommend krill oil and squid oil to my patients. To prevent depression take at least 2,000 mg per day. If you already have depression, a dosage of up to 4,000 mg of omega-3s per day helps lift mood.
Magnesium. Low magnesium in the brain is linked to serious depression that resists most drugs. But taking magnesium can rapidly terminate stubborn depression. Research shows it works better than the common antidepressant imipramine. And it doesn’t have the bad side effects.
Case histories show magnesium supplements can lift major depression in less than seven days. All it took was 125 mg to 300 mg of magnesium with each meal and at bedtime.
I recommend taking between 600 mg and 1,000 mg of magnesium per day. Look for the glycinate or taurinate forms.

Some surprising things you didn't know about North Korea
North Korea has a reputation for reclusivity, and is commonly called a "hermit kingdom" due to its reclusivity.
North Korea has one of the largest militaries in the world, employing approximately 4.7% of the total population.
Drug use is rampant with an estimated 30% of North Koreans using substances ranging from marijuana to methamphetamines.
Considering that North Korea — formally (and ironically) known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea — is commonly referred to as a "hermit kingdom," quite a lot is known about this reclusive, isolated nation of 25 million people.
Its recent ballistic missile tests made headlines around the globe, as have the tirades of its young leader, Kim Jong-un. Heartrending tales of the North Korean Famine of the 1990s still strike a chord today, while eccentric anecdotes about the three generations of DPRK leaders draw raised eyebrows.
Kim Jong-il, son of founder Kim Il-sung and father to the current head of state, is reported to have bowled a perfect 300 during his first game and to scored 38 under par playing golf, according to The Washington Post. He is also said to have written 1,500 books during his college years alone, The Telegraph reports.

Stolen Marc Chagall painting to be returned after 30 years
A Marc Chagall painting stolen from a New York couple's home in 1988 will be returned to the family's estate after nearly 30 years, the FBI says.
The 1911 painting, Othello and Desdemona, was taken from Ernest and Rose Heller's flat with more than a dozen other works of art and jewellery.
The Chagall was recovered last year after a Washington, DC gallery owner twice refused to purchase the painting.
He told the seller to contact the authorities for proof of ownership.
"We took the case from there," said Special Agent Marc Hess, a member of the FBI Art Crime Team.
The Maryland man who tried to sell the work had stored it in his attic for years in a customised box he fashioned out of a door jamb and plywood, according to Mr Hess.

Don’t ask whether Facebook can be regulated. Ask which Facebook to regulate.
What’s the right regulation for Facebook? That depends on which Facebook you’re talking about.
The Washington leg of Mark Zuckerberg’s “apology tour,” precipitated by Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica Scandal, has seen a tense two days of lawmakers grilling the Facebook founder about the extent of Facebook’s mounting privacy issues, its role in shaping the global democratic process, and what he is doing to solve its many woes.
During Tuesday’s joint congressional hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation committees, lawmakers covered a wide range of questions from lawmakers. But none was more integral to understanding the issues and challenges facing Facebook — and those in favor of regulating it — than a single exchange between Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Zuckerberg.
Woman finds video of herself on PornHub having sex for an hour
A woman was horrified after a friend who she hadn’t seen for 20 years called her to say she’d seen a video of her having sex on Pornhub. Luke Brinson, 32, shared the hour-long video on the X-rated site as well as a ten-minute clip and a four-minute video. The videos had been watched a total of 3,000 times and was kept online for five months.
Brinson, from Shirehampton, was found guilty of disclosing sexual photographs with intent to cause distress at Bristol Crown Court. The court heard how Brinson had uploaded three videos of the victim to the porn site. Sam Jones, prosecuting, told the court: ‘The victim was contacted by someone from her childhood. They informed her she was aware of images of her and sent her a link.
‘She was very distressed. She contacted the website and days later the images were taken down. ‘Mr Brinson was arrested and interviewed and denied the offence.’ He was convicted after a trial at Bristol Magistrates’ Court.
Instagram model posts videos from plane minutes before it crashed, killing all on board (video)
6 people have died after a plane filled with Instagram stars crashed outside Scottsdale, Arizona, moments after passengers took videos and posted on social media.
Instagram model Mariah Coogan, from Santa Rosa, recorded a video of her and a friend, club promoter Anand "Happy" Patel, goofing around moments before the plane went down. She shared the video with her over 30,000 followers on Instagram and, moments later, she and others on board were dead.
Could alien life be hiding in the clouds of Venus?
According to a new study, the ever-changing appearance of Venus' clouds may indicate that microbial life can survive in the venusian atmosphere. This artist’s impression shows the clouds above the surface of Venus.

When it comes to searching for life elsewhere in the solar system, astronomers typically fixate on Mars or the handful of ice-encrusted moons around Jupiter and Saturn. But according to a new study, to find extraterrestrial life, we may only need to look to our nearest neighbor — Venus.
In a paper published March 30 in the journal Astrobiology, an international team of researchers suggests that the thick and acidic atmosphere of Venus may actually serve as a potential safe haven for microbial life. In the hypothesis paper, they not only present multiple lines of evidence showing the venusian clouds could harbor extreme forms of life, but also show that airborne life on Venus would help explain the fluctuating appearance of the planet’s clouds — a mystery that has plagued astronomers for nearly a century.
Asteroid ‘Oumuamua an alien UFO? Scientists reveal latest findings
When astronomers spotted a bizarre cigar-shaped asteroid floating through the heavens earlier this year, they immediately launched a bid to find out if it was alien in origin. Now the latest results of a scan for signs that it Asteroid ‘Oumuamua was built by an extraterrestrial civilisation have been released. The strange object is twice as big as the Gherkin skyscraper, stretching to about 400 metres long, and is the first space rock observed in our Solar System after travelling here from elsewhere.

Russian governor resigns after shopping centre blaze
Aman Tuleyev, the longtime governor of Russia's Kemerovo region where a huge mall fire killed at least 64 people including 41 children last weekend, resigned on Sunday.
"I submitted my resignation letter to the Russian president," he said in a three-minute video address released by his office.
Tuleyev, who had been at the helm of the key coal-mining region since 1997, said he could no longer remain at his post with "such a heavy burden" and added that his resignation was "the only right choice".
At least 64 people - including 41 children - died when a huge fire ravaged a mall in the industrial city of Kemerovo in western Siberia last Sunday.
The expert’s guide to how you really CAN take years off your face: Top dermatologist reveals the facts (and fiction) about anti-ageing your skin
Ever since I was a teenager in the early Nineties, I’ve been obsessed with skincare.
I was desperate to find a cure for my dreadful acne — my terrible skin was a source of deep embarrassment, and for years held me back.
In the end, it wasn’t apple cider vinegar, home-made sugar scrubs, toothpaste, TCP or peel-off masks that eventually improved it; it was seeing a dermatologist.
These days, I’m no longer a spotty teenager, I’m a qualified dermatologist myself and a spokesperson for the British Skin Foundation, specialising in both beauty and medical skin problems with a particular fascination with anti-ageing.
The process of getting older outwardly can be seen in the skin before any other organ of the body. Growing old cannot be hidden, unlike many other medical issues. We are living longer than ever before and the anti-ageing market grows ever bigger, bombarding us with celebrity endorsed potential ‘cures’, some of which are utter rubbish.
It drives me mad, the amount of bad information out there. Over the past ten years, I’ve seen hundreds of patients, many of whom, faced with a barrage of anti-ageing advice, are crying out for clarity.
Tiangong 1: Chinese satellite crashes to Earth, mostly burns up on re-entry
Chinese space authorities say Tiangong 1, the country's defunct and reportedly out-of-control space station, re-entered the Earth's atmosphere Sunday night, mostly burning up over the central South Pacific. The China Manned Space Engineering Office says online that the experimental space lab re-entered around 8:15 a.m. local time Monday.
The tumbling spacecraft posed only a slight risk to people and property on the ground, since most of the 8.5-ton vehicle was expected to burn up on re-entry.
Officials at the Joint Force Space Component Command said the satellite re-entered after 8 p.m. ET. Their statement mentioned that the reentry was confirmed "through coordination with counterparts in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom":

NASA SCHOCK: Huge 'alien herd of animals found in space probe images of Mars'
MARS could be flourishing with Earth-like life according to a shocking conspiracy theory sparked by these NASA images. Pictures taken from above by space probes reveal there is a thriving ecosystem supporting life on the Red Planet — according to wild claims spreading online.
A video uploaded to YouTube shows the pictures which show a cluster of objects on the planet’s surface spanning for miles.
And another angle appears to reveal other parts of the area rumoured to be feeding zones for the "alien animals".
conspiracy theorist Neal Evans claims this is proof of life on the Red Planet — alongside an entire environment capable of supporting them.
'Satan 2' nuclear missile again test-launched by Russia, as Putin brags of 'invulnerable' arsenal
A new intercontinental ballistic missile hailed by Russian President Vladimir Putin as being able to fly over the North or South Poles and strike any target in the world reportedly was test-launched for the second time Friday.
Russia’s defense ministry released a video purportedly showing the Sarmat ICBM blasting off in spectacular fashion from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in its northern Arkhangelsk province, the move coming just hours after the Kremlin announced it would expel 60 American diplomats and close the U.S. consulate in St. Petersburg in retaliation for U.S. measures taken in response to the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy and his daughter in Britain.
The video shows the missile – dubbed “Satan 2” by NATO -- rising out of the ground and seemingly floating in the air for a brief moment before more flames erupt, kicking up massive clouds of smoke and snow.
"No defense systems will be able to withstand it," Putin said about the missile during his state-of-the-nation speech in early March.

Arnold Schwarzenegger underwent heart surgery and is now in stable condition
Arnold Schwarzenegger had heart surgery on Thursday and was in stable condition as of Friday, his spokesman Daniel Ketchell confirmed to The Washington Post.
Ketchell said on Twitter that Schwarzenegger, 70, underwent a planned procedure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to replace a pulmonic valve. He said the valve was "successfully replaced."
TMZ, which first reported the surgery, said complications arose in the valve replacement and Schwarzenegger required an "emergency" open-heart surgery, though Ketchell did not appear to confirm that in his statement on Twitter. The Post said he "noted that an open-heart surgery team was on hand during the procedure, but downplayed its seriousness."
Could enemies sabotage undersea cables linking the world? Fears rise as officials say Russian ships are showing increased interest in the 400 fiber-optic communication cables spanning the oceans
Russian ships are skulking around underwater communications cables, causing the U.S. and its allies to worry the Kremlin might be taking information warfare to new depths.
Is Moscow interested in cutting or tapping the cables? Does it want the West to worry it might? Is there a more innocent explanation? Unsurprisingly, Russia isn't saying.
But whatever Moscow's intentions, U.S. and Western officials are increasingly troubled by their rival's interest in the 400 fiber-optic cables that carry most of world's calls, emails and texts, as well as $10 trillion worth of daily financial transactions.
'We've seen activity in the Russian navy, and particularly undersea in their submarine activity, that we haven't seen since the '80s,' Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, commander of the U.S. European Command, told Congress this month.
Without undersea cables, a bank in Asian countries couldn't send money to Saudi Arabia to pay for oil. U.S. military leaders would struggle to communicate with troops fighting extremists in Afghanistan and the Middle East.
