THINGS IN THE NEWS

The leaders of British Commonwealth nations have changed the rules of succession so the throne will pass to the oldest child, whereas before it was inherited by the eldest son. I thought they did that 15 years ago.

An athlete at the Pan-American Games has been stripped of his silver medal for using a banned substance. The substance is found in many over the counter cold medications. In this case, the substance was found in a supplement the athlete bought at a health food store. It's startling to think some suplements have the same ingredients as pharmaceuticals.

There is a measles epidemic in Quebec which is reportedly the worst in ten years. Of course this is being used to push vaccinations. Thing is, the outbreak is probably occurring in children who have been vaccinated.
