"Smoking deaths account for 1 in 10 deaths worldwide." GMA ABC10 8:25 AM PST, 4/6/17. With the population of Earth at 7.5 billion in 2017, that's 750 million deaths on the planets due to smoking. Can't we stop 750 million (smoking) deaths on our planet? That's twice the population of America, plus! David Schaedler
HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2016 from CALIFORNIA!

Check these photos of the Oroville Dam and both spillways. They are revealing to the nature of the powerful force unleashed by dam waters.
The recent February rains caused so much flooding of the Feather River that the incredible amounts of water reached the top of the highest dam in America, at 901’. Officials increased the flow into the main Spillway from about 50,000 CFS to 100,000 CFS Sunday, to release full Lake Oroville waters, but that wasn’t enough.
Flooding occurred on Sunday in the Emergency Spillway, which was damaged, and DWR issued an evacuation notice to 188,000 residents of the Oroville Dam downstream area. Many were given the 1 hour notice.
Roads were packed, to the Evacuation Centers that had been set up. Residents exhibited extreme patience as numbers felt the crunch in leaving so quickly.

Interested in the science of imaging Earth-like #exoplanets? See this @reddit_AMA w NASA scientists doing just that:
Project Blue is a Kickstarter, crowd funding campaign to finance plans to build an orbiting telescope capable of imaging a planet in the AlphaCenturi star system, a first. No telescope, however large, has yet done that.
It will employ nested lenses capable of being focused by warping, and also of blocking the intense light of a star, 4.37 light years away, in order to see the dim planet.
So far, Kickstarter has received 1,000 donations, and that was the first number to tackle. Now Project Blue has gone beyond that.
It appears their next goal include building a starship that can get there in 40 years instead of 10’s of thousands. That’s would be at approximately 1/10 the the speed of light!
This starship may only include machinery, sensors computers and a radio, as well as propulsion and antenna, and not include people. Since it took 9.5 years for a conventional spacecraft to reach Pluto, the idea of a non-conventional positron-electron powered ship to reach the nearest star in 40 years is a real jump in propulsion invention and may have barriers to overcome. This idea of a new way is not uncommon in America, we invent news ways all the time. Kickstarter and Project Blue and are standing on the edge of reality, both in devices and present knowledge.
