☆ Are we in the Anthropocene Epoch? Not so fast, geologists say
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-05 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —Scientists have voted against a proposal to declare a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene to reflect how profoundly human activity has altered the planet. The vote followed a 15-year process to select a geological site that best captures humanity’s impact on the planet. Some experts argued that the start of the Anthropocene could be better defined in other ways, such as the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. “This is the commission’s expert group for this interval of geological time and we are bound by its decision. Regardless of whether the term is officially classified as a geological epoch, Anthropocene is already widely in use, Cohen noted.

☆ How unregulated radio stations out of Mexico fueled the country music boom in America

Known as "border radio," the unregulated American radio industry sprung up on Mexico's northern border in the 1930s. Michael Ochs Archives/Getty ImagesIn the years that followed, other border radio stations sprung up in Mexico. Hank Thompson, another country music star who grew up in Waco in the 30s, said border radio stations were the only stations where one could listen to country music most of the time. But the legacy of border radio stations continued to live on in the country music they helped popularize, as well as its cousin genres. According to American honky-tonk star Webb Pierce, country music "might not have survived if it hadn't been for border radio."

The awards ceremony, hosted by actor David Tennant, will be held at the Royal Festival Hall, in London, on February 18.

☆ Celebrities are having full-blown golf complexes built in their gardens. Here’s how they’re doing it

From putting greens and par-three holes to full-blown course replicas, the sport is increasingly taking up residence in gardens and backyards as golf enthusiasts of all levels look to shorten their travel time to the tee. California in particular is especially prone to drought, with state officials encouraging its citizens to cut their water usage. Yet “the number one” factor that can hike prices for larger greens, Nappi explains, is — ironically — drainage. Though they don’t require watering, greens sculpted in areas susceptible to heavy rain — such as Florida or Georgia — invite the threat of standing water, which can lead to mold and ruin the playing experience. “You can make it look pretty and beautiful and they love it, but it better play right,” Nappi said.

In the nine-month battle of Mosul, which Israeli officials have cited as a comparison, an estimated total of 9,000 to 11,000 civilians were killed by all sides in the conflict, including many thousands killed by the Islamic State, The Associated Press found. A similar number of women and children have already been reported killed in Gaza in less than two months. More broadly, Israeli officials say this is a campaign on its own borders to wipe out Hamas, a group dedicated to Israel’s destruction. “The war here is for our existence,” one Israeli war cabinet minister, Benny Gantz, told reporters on Nov. 8. But even before those changes, the number of women and children reported dead already outpaced other conflicts.

A large Charged Lemonade contains 390 milligrams — nearly the 400-milligram daily maximum of caffeine that the Food and Drug Administration says healthy adults can safely consume. The legal complaint called Charged Lemonade a "dangerous energy drink" and argues that Panera failed to adequately warn consumers about its ingredients, which also include guarana extract, another stimulant. The caffeine content of Panera's Charged Lemonade has always been listed in-store, Panera said. Katz had gotten a large Charged Lemonade hours before she died, and had had at least one Charged Lemonade in the days prior, according to Victoria Rose Conroy, Katz's roommate and close friend. Crawford said if Charged Lemonade is going to remain on the menu, it should be less accessible to customers.

When Hollander asked the DA’s office to return the green plastic bin and the items therein, she got a mysterious response. Early this year, Hollander sued the DA’s office, seeking answers about the missing items. “You can tell that no one ever, ever even looked at this evidence,” Hollander said. After the green plastic bin turned up again, he requested an appointment with the FBI regarding Brown’s death and the conduct of the DA’s office.

A college student went into cardiac arrest and died after drinking a 'Charged Lemonade,' a lawsuit alleges. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe parents of an Ivy League student are suing Panera Bread, alleging that their daughter went into cardiac arrest and died several hours after drinking a "Charged Lemonade" from the chain. According to the lawsuit, Katz had lived with a heart condition called long QT syndrome type 1 since the age of 5 and stayed away from energy drinks. The legal complaint was filed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas on Monday morning and it accuses Panera Bread of wrongful death. Panera's charged lemonade went viral on TikTok and X in December 2022 as consumers compared the drink to stimulants like Adderall.
