Stale cockpit air may be affecting your pilot's performance
Air indoors - whether in an airplane, car or building - always has higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) than the outdoors, where the air is about 400 parts per million (ppm) CO2. CO2 levels had the most dramatic effects on people's abilities to respond to crises, strategize and make decisions. Good ventilation is the key, however, to keeping CO2 levels low in the cockpit, Dr Allen says. Typically, the levels hover around 1,500 ppm in the cabin, though cockpit levels haven't been consistently tracked. 'We need to be making sure we're monitoring the quality of the air pilots are breathing,' he says.

Blocking sunlight to cool the Earth will not work
Blocking sunlight to cool the Earth will not save humanity's farmland from climate change, according to a new study that dismisses a leading global warming prevention theory. This could artificially cool Earth and alleviate the greenhouse warming caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide. 'For agriculture, the unintended impacts of solar geoengineering are equal in magnitude to the benefits,' he said. Ocean alkalinisation: This involves heaping lime into the ocean to chemically increase the absorption of carbon dioxide. Despite the study's conclusions, Dr Proctor said, 'I don't think we should necessarily write off solar geoengineering.

Gay man kicked out of Vegas pool party over swimwear and another is pushed off podium for being male
A gay man is claiming he was discriminated against after he was kicked out of a Las Vegas pool party for wearing what management said was 'inappropriate swimwear'. Chris Donohoe was partying in the popular Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday when he was approached by security. 'I was kicked out for being a gay man wearing a bathing suit that was just a little too gay for the Encore Beach Club to tolerate,' he wrote on Facebook. Donohoe also filmed his confrontation with the general manager, who told Donohoe that his swimwear attire was not 'in integrity' with the pool party's brand. Donohoe has claimed the pool party was discriminating against him because he is gay.

'Great Ghetto' where hundreds of migrant labourers live in Italy
This is the campsite known as the 'Great Ghetto', home to hundreds of African migrant labourers outside the city of Foggia, southern Italy. The 'Great Ghetto' is made up of barely roadworthy caravans and corrugated iron shacks and is where the 16 labourers killed in two separate traffic incidents this week lived. Two days earlier, four migrants died in a near identical accident. Both crashes happened close to the city of Foggia, near the Adriatic coast. Today, more than 200 migrants marched on Foggia from the Great Ghetto, some six miles away, to protest their deaths and their working conditions.

North Korea expert issues warning of nuclear war if Kim talks fail
Dr Jeffrey Lewis, an arms control expert from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, has imagined what nuclear war with North Korea could look like. 'Nuclear war is an unimaginable horror so we discount the possibility of it happening, even though it actually happened to people who are alive now. 'Everyone thinks that view is crazy but that's literally why countries acquire nuclear weapons. Ultimately, the goal should be to eliminate the threat of nuclear war entirely, he says. 'When I talk to people it seems like such a big task: how do you eliminate nuclear weapons, it's a big ask,' he says.

Homebase plans to close a quarter of all its UK stores
A total of 18 Homebase stores have been shut over the last 12 months- with the most recent closure occurring in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, this week. Wesfarmers is known for its Bunnings chain in Australia, and attempted to import the home improvement brand to the UK by converting a host of Homebase stores into the Bunnings format. The 24 stores who were converted into the Bunnings brand, will convert back to the Homebase fascia. Retail experts had previously criticised Wesfarmers for failing to judge the UK market correctly after buying Homebase from Home Retail Group two years ago.

Millions of patients with eye problems are 50% more likely to develop dementia
Millions of people diagnosed with three common eye conditions may face a higher risk of Alzheimer's, researchers fear. Scientists now accept eye problems could be an early warning sign of Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia. They wanted to discover if solid proof exists to link several conditions, including cataracts, to a higher risk of the neurological disorder. Eye doctors today called for further scientific trials that are bigger to understand the links between eye health and dementia further. The latest findings were published today in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.

Republican Rep. Chris Collins arrested on insider trading charges
Collins faces insider trading charges along with his son, Cameron Collins, and Stephen Zarsky, the father of Cameron Collins' fiancée.

They analysed more than 6,700 comments and revealed the 43 most common reasons people listed for being unable to find a partner. Dr Apostolou says there are evolutionary reasons why some modern men are unable to successfully approach women.
