Fox News reports that melting mountain
glaciers present a growing risk of flooding to
an estimated 15 million people around the world.
In a report published on February 7,
researchers warn that communities in
Asia face the greatest possible danger.
.
The risk is posed when lakes overfill, bursting
through natural barriers and sending a torrent
of water crashing down mountain valleys.
According to scientists, the most
vulnerable populations to face this growing
threat live in India, Pakistan, China and Peru.
Our work does not just focus on the size or number of glacier lakes - no disaster is natural - it is the presence of people, especially vulnerable people, in the landscape that causes a disaster, Stuart Dunning, physical geographer at
Britain's Newcastle University, via Fox News.
Fox News reports that glacial lake outburst floods
are expected to worsen and become more
frequent as the climate continues to warm.
Between 2006 and 2016, the world's
glaciers lost an estimated
332 gigatons of ice per year.
.
The study, published in the journal
'Nature Communications,' found that danger is highest
wherever a large number of people live next to a lake.

Abramowitz went on to say that the
"ongoing national shortages of therapies for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also remain
a serious challenge for clinicians and patients.".
A separate ASHP report said that "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality and supply chain reliability.".
These economic challenges are
driven by extreme price competition
among generic manufacturers, ASHP, via report.
ASHP will continue to engage
with policymakers regularly as we guide
efforts to draft and pass new legislation
to address drug shortages and continue
to strongly advocate on behalf of our
members for solutions that work, ASHP CEO Paul Abramowitz, via statement.
Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a white paper recommending tactics for Congress to help.
With today’s white paper,
HHS offers solutions and stands
ready to work with Congress to
ensure no patient faces the devastating
consequences of drug shortages or
goes without needed medicines, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, via press release

Genuine eclipse glasses will have an , ISO 12312-2 filter. .
NASA suggests people check the American

Fox News warns that the popularity of the upcoming
eclipse has driven third-party vendors to flood
online marketplaces with fake eclipse glasses. .
People without eclipse glasses can still
view the eclipse with a pinhole projector
which can easily be made at home.
Cut a 1- to 2-inch square out of
the center of a piece of plain
white paper or white cardboard.
Cover the square you just cut out by taping
a piece of aluminum foil over the hole. .
Next, use a pin or thumbtack to
poke a hole in the aluminum foil.
A second piece of paper or cardboard
is used as the screen on which the
image of the eclipse will be projected.
To view: place the screen on the ground and stand with your back to the sun, holding your projector with the foil pointed toward the sky.
Adjust the distance between your projector
and the screen to make the image of
the eclipse appear larger or smaller.
