A mountain guide carries a Clean Mountain Can portable toilet as Alaska: Pack It Out! he ascends Mt. Denali in Alaska.

Climbers love the natural beauty of Denali, North America’s tallest mountain. But a natural by-product of human presence is causing a not-so-natural disaster there: mountains of human waste that isn’t decomposing. Alaska is considering regulations that would require climbers to pack out their poop with them. Glacier geologist Michael Loso calculated that more than 200,000 pounds of human feces Plastic-free have been dumped onto Kahiltna Glacier on the way to and from Denali’s summit. grocery aisle Mountaineers were allowed to pitch their waste into deep crevasses on the glacier. But it’s not making it down to the bottom where it would disintegrate. Without decomposing, some runs off with annual snowfall, polluting water sources and potentially infecting people with dangerous E. coli bacteria. Some climbers don’t want to carry the weight of their own waste. But park offi cials hold that it’s individual responsibility to do so, to protect the peak for everyone.

Florida: Conch Shells and Wedding Bells A Florida woman blew her heart out and gave her heart away on the same day. Mary Lou Smith, 70, impressed judges in March with long blasts on a fl uted, pink-lined sea shell. She took the top prize in the women’s division of Key West’s annual Conch Shell Blowing Contest. Shortly after she accepted that prize, 73-year-old Rick Race—a male competitor in the event—took the stage beside her and proposed marriage. She accepted, and the two blew a joyous duet on their matching shells. Judges in the contest evaluate entrants from children to seniors. They base decisions on the quality, novelty, duration, and volume of their conch playing. Conch shells have been used for centuries in the Keys as signaling devices. Mary Lou Smith reacts to a surprise Native-born islanders are called Conchs, and the marriage proposal from Rick Race. Keys are nicknamed the Conch Republic.

Brazil: Yellow Fever Outbreak

Brazil has confi rmed more than 846 cases of yellow fever. The current outbreak is the largest one in decades. The potentially fatal disease broke out in large numbers in 2016-2017. But for nearly 10 years before that one, Brazil never recorded more than a handful of cases each year. Yellow fever is spread by mosquitoes that live in forested and mountain areas. It’s rare to fi nd the disease in city centers and coastal areas. But Brazil’s Health Ministry says the current outbreak is infecting people in more populated In Sao Paulo, Bra- areas.

The prestigious Pritzker Prize for architecture was Mr. Doshi’s given for the fi rst time to an housing project Indian architect. Balkrishna Doshi received the honor Balkrishna for a lifetime of work as an Doshi architect, urban planner, and educator. The 90-year- old has spent 70 years creating spaces and structures that both respect Eastern cul- ture and enhance quality of life in India, where much of the population is desperately poor. The Hyatt Foundation, which gives the award, called Doshi’s work “po- etic and functional.” Doshi’s achievements include the Aranya low-cost housing project in Indore. It accommodates more than 80,000 people in a system of houses, courtyards, and internal pathways. Doshi says his focus has been to “empower the have-nots, the people who have nothing.” He called the prize an honor both for himself and his nation.

But how this mom imag- ined introducing books to her new- born isn’t exactly the way it has turned out. Instead of in a nursery rocker at the Forney, Texas, home she and husband Mario share, Aguilar reads through a portal in a plastic incubator. Her son Cannon is in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. “I’m here 10 to 12 hours a day,” says Aguilar. Cannon was born in Jan- uary—about three months premature. He weighed one pound, two ounces. The months haven’t been easy. But reading to Cannon has comforted them both. Initially, Anna just talked to him. But “you run out of things to say. I feel he gets bored with me saying, ‘I love you, I love you’ over and over.” So when nurse Rowena Cadungog asked if she’d like to read to Cannon as part of a pilot program called Kan- gaREAD, Aguilar was delighted. “I’ll read Bible stories, anything that rhymes or has cadence,” she says.

But offi cials have been tracking those bears after treatment. They say the animals are settling back into the wild. Both female bears are adults. They were treated by veterinarians for third-degree burns on their paws. The vets used grafts of fi sh skins on the bears’ paws, followed by bandages of rice paper and corn husks. Similar treatments had helped human burn victims in Top: A bear rests after having burns treated, then covered with tilapia fi sh skin (middle), and wrapped in corn husks.

Watch out! There are a lot of Pinocchios out Fake News Travels Fast there writing lies. Social media loves lies. A new study found that false information travels six times faster than the truth on Twitter. It also reaches far more people. It’s not bots promoting the fake news either. It’s real readers who latch onto anything that sounds shocking, unlikely, morbid, or offensive—without concern for factual integrity. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology looked at more than 126,000 stories tweeted millions of times between 2006 and 2016. They calculated that the average false story takes about 10 hours to reach 1,500 Twitter users. The truth takes about 60 hours to get to that many people. What types of falsehoods got forwarded the most? Those designed to incite anger and offense, says study co-author Sinan Aral. That’s a caution for all of us. Don’t believe—or promote—what you haven’t confi rmed. “Keep watch on yourself,” says Paul in Galatians 6:1, “lest you too be tempted.”

Scientists have the dirt on the rubber ducky: Those cute yellow bathtime toys are— as many parents suspected—a haven for nasty germs. Swiss and American researchers counted the microbes swimming inside the toys. They say the murky liquid squeezed from the ducks contained “potentially pathogenic bacteria” in four out of fi ve toys stud- ied. The bacteria included Legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium “often

implicated in hospital-acquired infections.” They turned up a strikingly high volume and AP Photos, R. Bishop variety of bacteria and fungi in the ducks. Some amount of bacteria can help strengthen kids’ immune systems—but too much or the wrong kind can lead to eye, ear, and intes- tinal infections, the researchers say. Rubber duckies have been a childhood bathtime staple for years. Online vendor Amazon.com lists one—advertised as water-tight to prevent mildew—among the top 10 best-sellers in its “Baby Bath Toys” category.

5WT18_28-29_BytesX6.indd 28 4/14/18 8:12 PM Advancements in Treating Malaria Scientists in Germany say they’ve made signifi cant improvements in a key drug for treating malaria. The drug comes from a plant called sweet wormwood. The new procedure uses the plant’s own chlorophyll instead of additional chemicals to produce artemisinin—the substance used in treating malaria. The result is that “we’re able to get much more out of the plant than ever before,” says chemist Kerry Gilmore. Gilmore also says that the process is much less costly than the earlier used procedures. The development means greater global access for people in poor coun- tries—the ones most commonly affected by malaria. The World Health Organization reports that there were 216 million malaria cases worldwide in 2016. More than 445,000 people died of the disease that year.

Mothers wait for their children to be vaccinated near Monro- via, Liberia, where malaria is the leading cause of death.

Black men have higher rates of high blood pressure than most other ethnic groups. That puts them at risk for strokes and heart attacks. Many don’t see doctors regularly—but they do get their hair cut! So pharmacists and doctors worked with dozens of LA barbershops. “There’s open communica- tion in a barbershop…a relationship, a trust,” says barber Eric Muhammad. One group of customers in the study met with pharmacists at the barbershop where they already felt comfortable. They received tips on lowering blood pressure while getting a trim—and in some cases, medication prescriptions. After six months, blood pressure readings fell by 9 to 27 points! Every client in Muhammad’s shop had an improvement. The fi ndings were presented at a cardiology conference. Doctors plan to expand the project to more cities nationwide.

A customer looks at fur coats in a B.B. San Fran Fur Ban Hawk showroom in San Francisco. San Francisco became the largest U.S. city to ban the sale of fur in March. The move pleased animal lovers but frustrated some business owners. The ban goes into effect January 2019. At that point, retailers won’t be allowed to sell coats, stoles, scarves—even keychains—made from real animal fur. Leather, lambskin, and wool are excluded from the ban. The decision was made unanimously by the city’s 11-member Board of Supervi- sors. Business owner Benjamin Lin features chinchilla, sable, fox, and mink furs in his showroom. He will lose that business under the ban—unless he moves outside the city. “I cannot fi ght it,” Lin says. “I do not have the energy or money.” Another businessman says that, though fur doesn’t impact his income, he’s appalled that only 11 people can arbitrarily tell others what they can sell without a public vote. “What’s next?
