                      Anti-vax parents lose in NY court, face steep fines for not vaccinating

                      Parents face fines of $1,000 for failing to vaccinate their exposed children.
                      A Brooklyn judge on Thursday rejected the petition from five anonymous anti-vaccine mothers who attempted to block the city’s recent vaccination mandate amid the largest measles outbreak the city has seen in several decades.

                          Facebook fights to “shield Zuckerberg” from punishment in US privacy probe
                          Facebook/FTC settlement could include "heightened oversight" of Zuckerberg.
                          Federal Trade Commission officials are discussing whether to hold Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally accountable for Facebook's privacy failures, according to reports by The Washington Post and NBC News. Facebook has been trying to protect Zuckerberg from that possibility in negotiations with the FTC, the Post wrote.

                                Surprise! Satellites show that thermometers don’t lie

                                If anything, Aqua satellite data actually shows slightly more warming.
                                Taking a human’s temperature is easy. Taking a pet’s temperature is similarly straightforward, if a bit rude. Taking a planet’s temperature, on the other hand, is much more of a challenge.

                                          Gorillas pose for selfie with DR Congo anti-poaching unit

                                          Two gorillas have been photographed posing for a relaxed selfie with the rangers who rescued them as babies.
                                          The image was taken at a gorilla orphanage in Virunga National Park, DR Congo, where the animals were raised after poachers killed their parents.
