About 10 days after what seemed like a garden-variety cold, Luca Waugh, a healthy 4-year-old, developed troubling symptoms.
Suddenly, his neck became so weak that he fell backward. Then his right arm couldn't move. Within days, recalled his mother, Dr. Riley Bove, he developed "head-to-toe paralysis, where he could kind of move his eyes a little bit and one side of his face."
Doctors diagnosed Luca with acute flaccid myelitis or A.F.M., a mysterious neurological condition that can cause limb weakness and polio-like paralysis, mostly in young children!

Mysterious paralysis-causing syndrome appears to be on the ..."AFM is a rare illness that anyone can get. It affects a person's nervous system, specifically the spinal cord. AFM can result from a variety of causes, including viral infections ." AFM causes damage that can result in temporary or permanent paralysis in severe cases. The CDC said the syndrome has a variety of causes, including enterovirus D68.!! Since then, A.F.M. has made headlines as cases have spiked every two years, and nearly 600 have been confirmed across the country since 2014.

The research, published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, points to a long-suspected culprit: enteroviruses, a group of common viruses that usually produce mild effects, but can sometimes cause neurological symptoms!

Using sophisticated laboratory techniques, researchers found antibodies to enteroviruses in the cerebrospinal fluid of nearly 70 percent of the children with A.F.M., a sign their bodies had mobilized to defend against enterovirus infection.

The Mysterious Origins of Tiki Classic the Scorpion Bowl
The Scorpion Bowl is another that has been chalked up to Vic. In its perfected form, half a bottle's worth of booze mingle with various fruit juices and whatnot in a gaudily-painted ceramic vessel supported by three kneeling hula girls (also in ceramic) with four long straws jutting over the edges and a gardenia floating placidly in the middle!

At first, doctors noted an association with a virus called EV-D68, a normally harmless enterovirus that causes common cold-like symptoms . But now that link is no longer clear, Ayers said.!! It was Vic's first breakout drink; the first of his specialties to be swiped by other bars.
There were ti -leaves and flowers on the tables as well, and, one presumes, the usual roast pork, poi and other island staples: Vic doesn't mention the food. Instead, he talks of the "tremendous Chinese earthen crock which easily held twenty gallons" that was full of "Honolulu's famous Scorpion, a drink which does not shilly-shally or mess around in getting you under way."
Before giving his Scorpion recipe, he adds, "as originally made, with okolehao and rum, the Scorpion is at its best, but the following formula is practically as good an infusion as the original." His recipe keeps the original's rum, but instead of the generally unavailable okolehao —Hawaii's native spirit, distilled wholly or partly from the starchy, tuberous stem of the ti plant—it uses a mix of gin, brandy and white wine, plus orange and lemon juices, mint and orgeat (almond) syrup!

PHOTO REPORT: Magic Kingdom 10/21/2019 (Mysterious Tomorrowland Work, New Princess Phone Cases,
It’s a stormy morning heading into the Magic Kingdom, but the cold *ahem*, I mean the RAIN never bothered me anyway-- So let’s head in bright and early to see what magic we can catch in the making.
* * *
First stop, The Emporium, where we stumbled upon the last detail you need to complete your Pixar Luxo Ball look:
We also found some unique Princess phone cases which are adorned with tiny crystals. These are $29.99 as well. Hopefully, this is the start of a whole line of Princess Cases-- Fingers crossed.
Missing the ’90s, anyone? Who isn’t? Sir Mickey’s has just the thing to bring you back to the good old days of 2D and VHS:
It was still pretty early in the day, but I think the weather scared some people off, because Space Mountain was only a 15-minute wait:
This may worth something:
Sea turtles and birds wash up dead after mysterious oil spill devastates 180 Brazilian beaches
A MYSTERIOUS oil spill has wrecked an estimated 1,300 miles of coastline in Brazil's northern states.
The government has come under fire for failing to act on the huge spill, described by one sealife charity as "the worst environmental tragedy" it has ever encountered.
* * *
The substance has been identified as crude oil, which makes it particularly difficult to clean as the dense chemical doesn't float on the surface.
Oceanographer Maria Christina Araujo said that in such a biodiversity "it is virtually impossible to remove oil."
Speaking to Phys.Org news , she added: "The damage could be irreparable and the ecosystems will take years to recover."
The wildlife and economy of the tourist-reliant regions has been devastated with oil now reaching Carneiros beach, known as the "jewel" of Pernambuco state's coast.
See the "blob" in Paris - a mysterious organism that has 720 sexes - Lonely Planet
The blob doesn't have a mouth, stomach or eyes, yet it can detect food and digest it, and if you were to cut it in half, it would heal in two minutes. It fears only light and drought, and it can, under adverse conditions, enter a state of hibernation. To wake it up again, you simply give it a little water.
At the exhibition, an interactive wall and videos offer visitors experiences to understand how the blob moves, learns, selects food or shows "cultural variations". In the breeding room, it is fed with oatmeal, but in the terrarium it feeds itself on the bark and branches it is given.
Remarkably, the blob has an intelligence even though it lacks a brain, although it remains to be discovered how a single cell achieves this feat. It manages to communicate and solve complex problems, such as finding the shortest way between 60,000 to get out of a maze, and it can anticipate a change in its climatic environment.
