Is Drinking Days-Old Water Bad For Health?
Experts say there is actually a tipping point at which it is better for your health to dump that glass of water and start afresh. Microbiologist Jason Tetro, aka The Germ Guy, also said 12 hours was the limit for drinking leftover water in glasses. One study found that bacterial cell concentrations in drinking water increase overnight. Infrequently used drinking water taps can also harbour high levels of bacteria. “After those 12 hours, there will be food for the bacteria to multiply.”In other words, if you drink water from the night before, you’re likely fine.

Cuba rejects ‘shameless’ U.S. Embassy request to bring in fuel
The denial could force the embassy to order nonessential staff to leave Cuba in May or “possibly earlier,” the embassy warned Wednesday in a cable to the State Department. The embassy sought permission to import two containers of fuel from the United States, according to this week’s cables. While the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Relations told U.S. diplomats the plan was “bold,” it did not initially indicate it would block the shipment. But when it arrived Tuesday at Port Mariel, the ministry told the embassy the request had been refused. The U.S. Embassy assessed last week that the energy gap in Cuba “hovers around 60 percent.

To tilt Hungarian election, Russians proposed staging assassination attempt
But the mere suggestion of staging an attempt on Orban’s life underscores how high the stakes are for Moscow in the Hungarian race. Some Western officials say the Kremlin is intent on preserving Orban, who has assisted Moscow in hampering key E.U. policies and acted as a bridge for the Kremlin to U.S. conservatives in hopes of forging a new post-liberal world order.
