Now they want to do it here: Gas to be released on Underground to test fallout

Just a coincidence - nothing to worry about ...
'Tests are set to be carried out on the London Underground to see how quickly poisonous gases could spread across the Tube network.
The aim is to create a better understanding of how to respond in the event of them being deliberately or accidentally released.The trials will be carried out over several days this month using non-hazardous materials. The gases will be released between the morning and evening peak times.'

Russia Amasses 'Full Combat Readiness' Strategic Bombers

Straight out of Russian news, Vladimir Putin has called for the nation’s strategic bombers to enter a state of ‘full combat readiness’ following the ‘snap drills’ that were initiated after Israel bombed Russian-made missiles within Syria.
As I reported on Sunday, Russia’s large scale amassing of over 160,000 troops, naval ships, fighter planes, and strategic bombers has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media — with only Russian-based news services really reporting on the entire event. From the Israeli bombing of the Russian missiles to the ‘snap drills’ calling upon Russian forces to enter this period of ‘full combat readiness’, it appears that only RT has been analyzing the situation and looking at what’s going on based on military sources.'

Work Till You Die: Delaying retirement can delay dementia, large study finds

'New research boosts the "use it or lose it" theory about brainpower and staying mentally sharp. People who delay retirement have less risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, a study of nearly half a million people in France found.
It's by far the largest study to look at this, and researchers say the conclusion makes sense. Working tends to keep people physically active, socially connected and mentally challenged — all things known to help prevent mental decline.
"For each additional year of work, the risk of getting dementia is reduced by 3.2 percent," said Carole Dufouil, a scientist at INSERM, the French government's health research agency. She led the study and gave results Monday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Boston.'
