Water drunk by 7.5 million Californians is contaminated with PFAs, highly-toxic chemicals that raise cancer risks and never break down in the environment. The toxins are used to make water- and oil-repellent products, easily migrate into soil and water - then stay there, forever. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises a cap of 70 parts per trillion (ppt) PFAS in drinking water to mitigate risks that they will cause cancer, reproductive problems and immune system dysfunction. A new Environmental Working Group (EWG) study of water systems in 74 California communities found that at least one sample taken from 40 percent of those systems was over the EPA's suggested limit - and even that, EWG says, is too high. ☣️☠️

They have a story now... 😂 #lol

Thomas Gilbert Jr., the spoiled Princeton graduate who murdered his father because his allowance was being cut, was sentenced to 30 years behind bars in New York City on Friday. The 34-year-old shot his father, Thomas Gilbert Sr., in 2015 in their Upper East Side Home after arguing with him because he threatened to cut his allowance. Gilbert Jr. had tried to plead not guilty by way of insanity but it was rejected by the court because he had sent his mother, Shelley, out to fetch him a Coca Cola and a sandwich before he opened fire on his father. At no stage during the proceedings did he show any kind of remorse. Gilbert Jr. did not react emotionally when the sentence was handed down. He looked back at his mother as he was led away in cuffs.

A New Jersey family has been forced to take down a Halloween display in their front yard of a dummy hanging from a noose. Residents were outraged when they saw the stuffed dummy with a bag over its head hanging from a wooden gallows-like structure outside a home in Mannington. A photograph of the display was circulated on social media and the family were forced to take it down after police visited the house due to multiple complaints. Ryan McDonald, who owns the home, said the gallows was supposed to be part of a larger pirate-themed display. This is not the first time that such a Halloween decoration has sparked public outrage. Last October, a Brooklyn building removed a display of a body wrapped in a bag hanging from a noose on a fire escape, reported NBC 4 New York. And in 2017, residents were stunned by a decoration featuring a body with a hood over his head hanging from a noose, according to WSB-TV. 🎃 #halloween

Black market cannabis vapes are found to contain hydrogen CYANIDE amid health panic after 13 die from mysterious illness linked to e-cigs. NBC News reported that they ordered a testing of 18 vaping cartridges with THC, the main psychoactive compound found in marijuana. Three cartridges were purchased from legal dispensaries in California and those were not found to contain heavy metals or pesticides. But of the 15 that were bought from unlicensed dealers, 13 contained the solvent Vitamin E, which has been found to cause severe lung damage when it is inhaled. Also found was myclobutanil, a pesticide that, when burned, can turn into hydrogen cyanide - a chemical that can lead to fatal asphyxiation within minutes. It comes on the heels of the most recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the slew of vaping-related illnesses that have swept the nation, killing 13 Americans and sickening more than 800.☠️ 😱

A female skydiver has died in California after hitting a semi-trailer truck before crashing onto a highway. The incident occurred in Lodi, around 90 miles east of San Francisco, when the woman set off on a group parachuting expedition. Authorities have not publicly named the victim, but report that she is a 28-year-old Colombian national. Witnesses say strong winds carried the woman away from the safe landing zone after she jumped from the plane around 2 pm. She was pushed towards the highway, which was teeming with traffic, before she collided with the big rig. The woman then rolled onto the shoulder of the south-bound lane of the freeway. She was pronounced dead at the scene. 😱 #losers

A Maryland family have transported a historic Georgian mansion more than 50 miles so that it can be housed on their waterfront plot of land. The massive relocation operation, which saw the three-story home move from Eaton to Queenstown, took nearly two weeks and cost almost $1 million. The residence was bought by Christian Neeley, who fell in love with the dwelling, which is known as the Galloway House and was built back in 1760 - before the American War of Independence. Neeley had been hoping to find a similar home with water views, but when there didn't seem to be one available he decided to ship Galloway House closer to the sea. #wow

Guajajara Indians "forest guardians" detain a logger during a search for illegal loggers on Arariboia indigenous land near the city of Amarante, Maranhao state, Brazil. Loggers and ranchers have cleared land right up to the Guajajara reservation and crossed the border increasingly in recent decades. But since 2012, when the "forest guardians" formed, they estimate that illegal incursions have fallen by half. REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino
