☆ Florida scientists are giving coral IVF treatments to help bolster dying reef
  + stars: | 2023-11-19 | by ( Hannah Getahun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Coral reefs are experiencing mass bleaching and die-off events due to climate change. Following a record marine heat wave this past summer, Florida's iconic coral reef experienced massive bleaching and die-offs. The water is also injected with nitrogen and phosphorus — chemical pollutants most often associated with fertilizer runoff that could exacerbate coral bleaching . Another method that the team is looking at is targeting the reproduction of coral to help boost their populations. For years, scientists have been looking for ways to make coral resistant to heat as climate change results in more marine heatwaves and healthy coral reefs continue to decline.

LONDON, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The Danish tax authority's attempt to pursue almost 80 defendants in London over alleged tax fraud, including Dubai-based hedge fund manager Sanjay Shah's Solo Capital Partners, is heading for the UK Supreme Court, lawyers said on Monday. The number of defendants has been whittled down to 79, lawyers for SKAT told a London case management hearing on Monday. London's High Court last year derailed the case,ruling that the Danish state could not use English courts to enforce its tax laws. Chris Waters, a managing partner at law firm Meaby & Co Solicitors, who is representing Shah and his companies, said it was a "significant step" that the UK Supreme Court would now also hear the case. A High Court judge will decide next week whether the complex case, or parts of it, will be delayed ahead of a Supreme Court ruling, lawyers said on the sidelines of the London hearing.
☆ Fact Check-No evidence drug overdose was main cause of death for George Floyd in 2020

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled Floyd’s death a homicide with the cause of death as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression” (here). Under cross examination by Chauvin’s lead lawyer, Baker said that certain heart diseases or use of opioids can be fatal but that neither directly caused Floyd’s death. Reuters reporting on additional expert testimony during the trial that countered the defense’s claim that opioid use caused Floyd’s death can be found (here), (here), (here) and (here). But the fentanyl levels in Floyd’s blood should not be the sole factor in determining his cause of death. Available evidence about George Floyd’s death and toxicology test results do not show that his main cause of death was a drug overdose and toxicology results alone cannot identify a lethal level of fentanyl or other drugs in the body.

CNN —Roxie Washington, acting on behalf of her daughter with the late George Floyd, has retained attorneys after Kanye West made a claim about fentanyl and Floyd’s death. The artist, designer and entrepreneur, who has changed his name to Ye, spoke about Floyd’s death during a recent episode of the podcast “Drink Champs.”“I watched the George Floyd documentary that Candace Owens put out.

CNN has reached out to Merritt for comment on the cease-and-desist letter.
