The world’s amphibians may be in even graver danger than we’ve thought, a new report warns. A new analysis of the risks faced by the 8,000 or so known amphibian species has found that up to 50 percent may be at risk of extinction, in a dramatic rise from earlier estimates. The spike stems from the inclusion of roughly 2,200 species that were previously under-represented due to lack of data; now, based on the new models, researchers say at least another 1,000 species are facing the threat of extinction. The study comes on the heels of a worrying UN report that found plant and animal species today are being wiped out at unprecedented rates.

Nor is it supposed to be where African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and Asians go for crimes that don’t land white people behind bars. But that is what they are increasingly becoming.

But they now hold many who are neither. Too often, jails are warehouses of low-risk individuals who are too poor to post bail or too sick for existing community resources to manage. Many jails today are being asked to do the job of mental health institutions, even though they lack the resources and expertise to treat people suffering from mental illness or substance abuse. Research shows that serious mental illness affects an estimated 14.5% of men in jails and 31% of women - rates that are three to six times higher than in the … [Read more...] about US jails are warehouses of sick, poor and low-risk people

The Sun has offered a £10,000 reward for information on her whereabouts after she disappeared amid accusations she acted like a "madame" for the shamed tycoon. Ms Maxwell has repeatedly denied accusations against her and has never been charged. In November, a lawyer representing several Epstein accusers told The Sun he believed the FBI was closely monitoring her whereabouts.Spencer Kuvin said the FBI are building a strong case against her before any arrest and that they are following her every move.
