Cultus Lake Waterpark closes temporarily after 12 children injured

Postmedia has been unable to confirm reports by Cultus Lake area media that the incident involved electrical burns. Article content

However, B.C. Hydro told Postmedia that one of its crews was sent to the water park and found that “the electrical issue originated on the customer’s side of the electrical service” and not within B.C. Hydro’s infrastructure or equipment.

What are some good nutrition/medical channels on youtube and instagram that you would recommend to a family member?

Currently, one of my family members frequently sees a lot of conflicting nutrition and medical info on the internet with various influencers, so it can be hard for them to decipher what's true or not. Are there any channels with easy to understand shorts, that also meet the general scientific consensus?

Taliban new criminal code is a misinterpreted version of Islamic thought, and a travesty for human decency

There are some egregious misinterpretations here leading to harmful codes of law, here are some of them summarized.

-Privileging the Hanafi maddhab (the Hanafi rite) of sunni Islam, and their adherents

-Discrimination against those who do not follow the ashari/maturidi aqeedahs (ashari/maturidi creeds) of sunni islam, and their adherents. For example discrimination against followers of the Athari aqeedah (athari creed).

-arbitrary discrimination against Christians and Jews

-lack of civil-judicial rights including arbitrary imprisonment, sentencing, and punishment

-reopening slavery outside of the context of war

-allowing husbands to implement Ta’zir punishments (which are islamically not for husbands to do)

-allowing husbands to physically discipline their wives with no limits (no limits has no basis in islam)

  • an ultra strict interpretation of gender segregation (which will be used to justify restricting female students from schools)

-classism by allowing less punishment for middle class over lower class

  • giving extra, unislamic privileges to scholars - specifically in civil-judicial rights to escape criminal penalties , which is unislamic

-criminalizing any criticism of the government

And possibly more I missed.

As fuzzy as human race categorization is, which of the following 3 systems are valid for population specific boxes?

Clades, clines, clusters. Is only one system valid? Two? All three? None at all?

I've heard and seen scientists debate this since around the early 2000s with conflicting answers so I'm really curious to hear what's the most appropriate take on this topic.

And let me disclaim that obviously human populations are fuzzy categories to begin with.
