Religion vs Spirituality In Everyday Life
Jesus taught, in Luke 17:20-21, that the Kingdom of God, the LIGHT of God, is WITHIN You. You are that powerful. This knowledge that Jesus taught is the very reason he was crucified. Mary Magdalene, in the Gospel of Mary, tells the apostles who ask her what else Jesus told her that he did not share with them, “There is no such thing as sin.” This is a theological point. Jesus is saying that…

The tropics are home to more than 75% of all species and are projected to support 50% of the world's human population by mid-century, but little is known about mercury pollution in these life-filled regions. A new study published in the journal Ecotoxicology sheds light on the problem by focusing on tropical birds. Researchers analyzed feathers collected from nine countries across Central America, South America and the West Indies and discovered some of the highest mercury concentrations ever found in songbirds, with one green kingfisher having 30 times the amount of mercury considered safe. In many cases, gold mining was the root of the problem, said Chris Sayers, lead author of the study and a UCLA graduate student in ecology and evolutionary biology. "The most important finding of our study was that mercury concentrations were nearly four times higher at sites impacted by artisanal and small-scale gold mining activities," he said.

A recent study published in the open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety has found that women exposed to pesticides face a 41 percent higher risk of spontaneous abortion compared to those with minimal or no exposure.
It found that exposure to organophosphate pesticides was the most common exposure type, though the study examined various pesticide classes. (Related: 70% of pregnant women in Indiana have herbicide linked to cancer in their urine.)
The comprehensive review, analyzing data from 18 studies across the United States and Italy, included 439,097 pregnant women aged 16 and older.
Though scientists and researchers are not completely certain as to why exposure to pesticides contributes to miscarriage, they believe that contact with pesticide chemicals causes oxidative stress, inflammation and even endocrine function disruption.
Scientists say pesticides are especially threatening to fetuses as their bodies are small, vulnerable and highly sensitive while developing in the womb. The harmful chemicals within pesticides are capable of crossing the placenta that connects the fetus to the mother's uterine wall. It is during and after this chemical crossover period that the developing fetus is harmed. The harm involves differentiation, cellular division and developmental problems.
Environmental toxins can harm fetal health during pregnancy. Common sources include consumer product chemicals, alcohol, tobacco and heavy metals – all of which increase miscarriage risk.
Pesticides pose one of the most serious risks during pregnancy. Organic food researchers advise that pregnant women choose organic produce when possible, especially for foods known to have high pesticide residues.

Mer Prompt!
In Ecotoxicology, one of the testing set-ups we have is with several artificial tiny lakes side by side, each containing different test setups, varying from contaminants to different plants to fish.
Now, consider using Merfolk as test subjects, each on one of the little lakes, too far to help each other but close enough to see the different chemical effects on each other...
Tumblr media
The test looks like this. Several round artificial pounds on cement boxes side by side.
