Water bloom, dense aquatic population of microscopic photosynthetic organisms produced by an abundance of nutrient salts in surface water, coupled with adequate sunlight for photosynthesis. The microorganisms or the toxic substances that they release may discolour the water, deplete its oxygen content, poison aquatic animals and waterfowl, and irritate the skin and respiratory tract of humans. Single species of algae, diatoms, or dinoflagellates, reproducing every few hours, may dominate a blooming population; the number of individuals per litre (quart) of water may range from 1,000 to 60 million.
Sometimes, blooms of the dinoflagellate genus Gymnodinium occur along the U.S. Gulf Coast when abnormally heavy rains increase the runoff of agricultural and industrial wastes. The enormous numbers of these organisms impart a distinct red colour to the water, a phenomenon known as red tide (q.v.). The Red Sea is supposed to have been named for the occasional blooms of the alga Trichodesmium erythraeum.

Oregon Supreme Court rules against Baker County judge, upholds governor’s orders
High court rules against churches challenging COVID-19 restrictions, says executive orders did not violate 28-day time limit
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) – The Oregon Supreme Court ruled Friday that a Baker County judge erred in ruling that Gov. Kate Brown’s executive orders relating to the coronavirus pandemic violated a 28-day statutory time limit and had therefore expired.
Friday's decision directs Circuit Judge Matthew Shirtcliff to vacate the preliminary injunction he'd issued while the Baker County case – seeking a declaratory judgment and permanent injunction – was pending (which the Supreme Court had previously stayed). The governor’s orders, therefore, remain in effect.
Shirtcliff's May 18 ruling came in regards to a lawsuit filed by 10 churches, including two in Bend, the nonprofit Pacific Justice Institute and 21 others against the governor. The governor's office quickly appealed to the state Supreme Court, which put a hold on the Baker County judge's permanent injunction, pending further arguments.
The Baker County case remains pending. The next step is for the circuit court and the parties to evaluate the Supreme Court’s ruling and determine how they think the case should proceed.
Kevin Mannix, president of Common Sense for Oregon, said the group disagrees with the high court's interpretation that the time limits of the public health emergency law don't limit the length of time the governor can issue lockdown orders when declaring a general emergency.
"With this ruling in hand, we will ask the Legislature to amend the law to make it clear that the Governor’s lockdown powers truly do have a 28-day time limit, even when the Governor declares a general emergency," Mannix wrote.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien says he'll take knee with players during anthem
HOUSTON – Houston Texans head coach and general manager Bill O'Brien says he'll take a knee during the national anthem next season with his players to protest racial inequality and police brutality.
"Yeah, I'll take a knee – I'm all for it," O'Brien told the Houston Chronicle. "The players have a right to protest, a right to be heard and a right to be who they are. They're not taking a knee because they're against our flag. They're taking a knee because they haven't been treated equally in this country for over 400 years."
Earlier in the week, O'Brien attended George Floyd's funeral, along with team owner Cal McNair and several players, including J.J. Watt. Floyd, a 46-year-old black man from Houston, died last month in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes.
Last week, O'Brien spoke at length about Floyd's death and the state of race relations in the United States, saying, "We all have to stand up and understand that what is going on in this country right now is wrong."
In 2017, O'Brien was supportive when the majority of Texans players took a knee after then-team owner Bob McNair said in an owners meeting, "We can't have the inmates running the prison," in reference to player demonstrations and protests during the national anthem.

Meat Shortages Are Coming Unless Congress Breaks Up the Highly Centralized System It Created
May 01, 2020
Just a few closures of meat packing plants are putting the entire meat industry on the brink of collapse. A congressman who also raises cattle sounded the alarm for years that burdensome regulations needed to go. Now will Congress act in time?
Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) is gaining bipartisan support for hisPRIME Act, which stands forProcessing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act. The bill has been sitting in the House and the Senate for nearly a year, meaning it could be fast tracked to President Donald Trump if the political will is there.
The legislation lifts restrictions on over 1,000 mom-and-pop meat processing plants that aren’t allowed to supply restaurants, schools, hotels, and the like. Yes, you read that right. The American people are dependent on a few big businesses that enjoy great advantages thanks to regulation.
This food supply issue is so critical to public health and the economy, that if Massie succeeds in revamping the meat supply chain, he deserves a House leadership post. He knows what he’s talking about when he warns that food shortages are coming. He raises cattle. His multiple patents and master’s degree in mechanical engineering from MIT don’t hurt either.
The small meat processing businesses that the PRIME Act would free up to work for the American people are already subjected to unannounced USDA inspections, so there’s no need to lower standards. They’re not allowed to sell to grocery stores simply because they don’t have an inspector on staff at all times, a rule more easily afforded by the big businesses.
“Let those small meat processors fill in the gaps so that we don’t have the dangerous situation where we’re euthanizing animals instead of providing them as food,” Massie told Breitbart’s Joel Pollak.
The bill would also give the states back enough of their sovereignty so intrastate distribution of custom-slaughtered meat could take place. Not only would this allow for flexibility and resilience in the industry, but the vulnerability to contamination would be mitigated better as well.
