Around 700,000 potentially contaminated eggs have been imported into Britain from Dutch farms, according to the Food Standards Agency.
The affected eggs have been contaminated with an insecticide called Fipronil.
A The affected eggs originate from
around 180 farms in the Netherlands that bought poultry from a supplier
which used an illegal insecticide to treat red mite in chickens. The
chemical, called fipronil, is not authorised for use as a veterinary
medicine or pesticide around food producing animals as it can make its
way into birds and eggs.
A The FSA has said it is “unlikely” that eating infected
eggs would pose a threat to human health. It told the Daily Telegraph
that it is up to consumers to decide if they want to eat contaminated
food or not.
In large quantities, fipronil is considered to be “moderately hazardous”, according to the World Health Organisation.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

HOW SINGAPORE AN ISLAND BRINGS FRESH WATER TO ITS PEOPLE BENEFITNG HUMANITY WITH FRESH WATER CREATION TECHNOLOGY
Two-thirds of Singapore’s land area is used for water catchment.
Increasing the water catchment area will be challenging and costly given
our urban density.
A comprehensive network of drains, canals and rivers channel rainfall to Singapore’s 17 reservoirs for storage.
Singapore imports water from Malaysia under the 1962 Water Agreement, which allows us the full and exclusive right to draw up to 250 million gallons of water per day (mgd) from the Johor River. The Agreement will expire in 2061.
Singapore has 5 NEWater plants which further purify treated used water to produce ultra-clean water. This process requires the use of advanced membrane and ultraviolet disinfection technologies, which makes producing NEWater costly.
Desalination is the process of using reverse osmosis to produce pure drinking water, by pushing seawater through membranes to remove dissolved salts and minerals.
We currently have 2 desalination plants, and 3 new plants will be built by 2020.

SOUTH KOREANS ARE PREPARING FOR THE WORST AS THEY BORDER THE COMMUNIST KIM N KOREA - UNLIKE THE STORM THAT NATURE BRINGS THIS ONE IS MAN MADE AS A GIFT FROM THE KIM - AS TALKS OF WAR AND RUMORS OF WAR ESCALATE FROM THE RED NATION TONGUE
South Koreans are buying more ready to eat meals and the government
plans to expand nation-wide civil defence drills planned for this month
as rhetoric between North Korea and the United States ramps up tension.
Long used to living within the range of North Korea's artillery, people in the South have generally ignored its aggressiveness and series of nuclear and long-range missile tests.
But this week, as Pyongyang exchanged increasingly angry words with the United States, there are worries of a clash erupting along the heavily militarised frontier which divides the two Koreas.
Combat Ration Inc, which makes 2 billion won ($1.75 million) of annual revenue selling ready to eat meals, said sales had surged as much as 50 percent in the past week compared to the average.
"Since 2006, when North Korea first conducted its nuclear test, there
wasn't this much response as people became immune to frequent missile
launches and nuclear tests," said Yoon Hee Yeul, the chief executive of
Combat Ration, based in the south-eastern city of Daegu.
"I feel it's different this time," said Yoon, who's been in the business since 2004.

JAPAN GETS READY ITS OWN MISSILE INTERCEPTORS LEAVES NOTHING TO CHANCE - AS THE KIM MISSILE FLYOVER CROSSES JAPAN'S TERRITORY - THE KIM DOES WHAT THE KIM DO THUS IRREGARDLESS OF OTHER SOVERIEGN NATION IN THE WAKE- THE COMMUNIST MOTTO
Japan is deploying missile interceptor units in western parts of
the country in response to North Korea's plans to fire missiles toward
the US Pacific territory of Guam.
North Korea says its ballistic missiles will fly over the 3 prefectures of Shimane, Hiroshima and Kochi before landing in waters off Guam.
Air Self-Defense Force units in charge of PAC3 interceptor missiles left for their destinations on Friday night. They are expected to arrive at 4 SDF camps in the 3 prefectures and neighboring Ehime Prefecture on Saturday morning.
The units will install radar systems and launchers to prepare for the eventuality that missile parts will fall into the areas.
The Maritime Self-Defense Force is deploying a vessel in the Sea of Japan. The vessel is equipped with the Aegis advanced radar system that can track ballistic missiles.

WHILST THE FREE WORLD CREATES A FOUNDATION FOR GROWTH OF HUMANITY - THE KIM CRAB HERMIT OF N KOREA GOES FOR ITS DESTRUCTION - AS TALK OF WAR WITH MISSILES RAINING DOWN ON US TERRITORY IS ALL THE NORTH KOREANS CAN PRODUCE TO BETTER THE WORLD WE LIVE IN - AS THE KIM TO DECLARE THE FIRST MATCH STRIKE OF WAR TO LIGHT UP WW3
With the intensifying war of words between North Korea and the US,
concerns are growing in Seoul and Washington over a possible US
pre-emptive strike.
In response to North Korea’s second round of threats of “enveloping fire” around the US territory of Guam, US President Donald Trump ramped up his remarks Thursday, saying his recent warning that the US would retaliate with “fire and fury” may not have been tough enough for the reclusive state.
He added that the North’s current actions and “what they’ve been getting away with” cannot be further allowed.
Trump’s aggressive rhetoric against the North has been fueling worries within the US Congress and prompted a phone call between South Korea and US national security leaders.
On Thursday, 62 US Democrats of the House of Representatives signed a letter expressing “profound concern” over Trump’s escalating rhetoric against Pyongyang.
The letter organized by Rep. John Conyers asks US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson “to do everything” in his power to remind Trump that his position requires him to act and speak with the “utmost caution and restraint on this delicate issue.”
It also called for the US president to acknowledge the power of the constitution and seek its approval before launching war.

THE FUTURE OF WIFI TERAHERTZ IS UPON US AS BROWN UNIVERSITY OF ENGINEERING IN PROVIDENCE, RI DEMONSTRATE THE NEW ULTRAFAST TRANSMISSION RATE
Ultrafast
wi-fi, which is 100 times quicker than today’s mobile networks is on
the horizon, after scientists proved they could send complex data using
high-frequency radiation.
The researchers sent video signals using terahertz, rather than traditional microwaves, at speeds of 50 gigabytes per second. Most wireless networks only operate at top speeds of 500 megabytes a second.
The breakthrough could lead to high-speed streaming on the go.
"We showed that we can transmit separate data streams on terahertz waves at very high speeds and with very low error rates," said Daniel Mittleman, a professor in Brown University's School of Engineering, in Providence, US.
"This is the first time anybody has characterized a terahertz multiplexing system using actual data, and our results show that our approach could be viable in future terahertz wireless networks."
Current voice and data networks use microwaves to carry signals wirelessly, but demand is outstripping capacity so scientists have been looking at new bandwidths.
