A pall of eerie black snow has covered several towns in the Siberian region of Kuzbass, which is home to 2.6 million people and one of the world’s largest coal fields.

According to the Guardian and the Siberian Times, the snow is tainted with toxic black coal dust that was released into the air from open coal pits and improperly maintained factories in the region. One coal plant official told the local media that a shield meant to prevent coal powder from escaping out of the factory had malfunctioned — however, toxic black snowfall seems to be a regular phenomena in the area and it isn’t necessarily tied to a single source.

France to replace ‘mother’ and ‘father’ with ‘Parent 1’ and ‘Parent 2’ on school forms

Staff writer Fri 15 Feb 2019 15:07 GMT

School forms in France are set to go gender neutral after the French parliament voted to replace the words ‘mother’ and ‘father’ with ‘Parent 1’ and ‘Parent 2’.

The new terms are being introduced following changes to the country’s education laws passed by President Emmanuel Macron’s majority REM party this week that also make school attendance mandatory for three-year-olds.

The removal of les pères and les mères in official paperwork within the education system is being brought in to stop discrimination against same-sex parents, The Times reports, but it does not have the backing of the education minister, Jean-Michel Blanquer.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, (FAO) have sounded an alarm on a desert locust outbreak in northeast Africa and Saudi Arabia triggered by heavy rains.
Increased vigilance, strict monitoring and early control needed to prevent further swarms forming and spread along both sides of the Red Sea.
Heavy rains and cyclones have triggered a recent surge in Desert Locust populations, causing an outbreak to develop in Sudan and Eritrea that is rapidly spreading along both sides of the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, FAO warned today.

Sweden Prosecuting Pensioners, Welcoming ISIS

by Judith Bergman • February 16, 2019 at 5:00 am

• Perhaps the Council of Europe considers Åberg’s successful efforts of turning in fellow Swedes to the police for perceived thought crimes an example that other European countries should emulate?
• The pensioner explained during questioning, "I was angry when I read about how it worked with immigrants and how they avoid punishment for everything they do. They get acquitted, though they steal and do other things. It is unfair that those who commit gross crimes can go free…." The pensioner said that she would not have written what she did, had she known that it was illegal. She evidently labored under the misconception that she was still living in a democracy. In January, she was sentenced to a fine of 4,000 Swedish kroner ($443). She lives on a monthly pension of only 7,000 Swedish kroner ($775).

Digisexuals In The UK Are Calling For Sex With Robots To Now Be Protected Under The United Nations Human Rights Act Of 1998

• 
  

  One digisexual Akihiko Kondo, a 35-year-old school administrator who married a virtual reality singer in Japan, deems himself to be sexual minority facing discrimination. For those who identity as digisexuals, Markie and MacArthur believe they may be resistance akin to the pushback against other sexual minorities such as homo, trans, and bisexuals. Pressuring for human rights protections could be one way in which digisexuals attempt to achieve recognition. The campaign, it seems, has already begun online.
