Texas City has lifted its shelter-in-place order after an operational issue at the Marathon Galveston Bay Refinery caused sulfur dioxide to be released into the air.
The air readings throughout the city are normal, and no injuries were reported.
The affected area was south of Marathon GBR to the Texas City Y.
Marathon Petroleum Corporation released the statement below.
“Marathon Petroleum personnel at the company’s Galveston Bay Refinery have resolved an operational upset that had led to a temporary increase in sulfur dioxide emissions earlier today. Emissions have returned to normal levels. There were no injuries. The City of Texas City has lifted a shelter-in-place that it had issued for an area south of the refinery,” the corporation said.
This AI went to sommelier school. A new algorithm trained on wine can tell which vineyard a bottle of red Bordeaux came from with 100% accuracy, according to researchers in Switzerland. The group created this AI connoisseur by feeding data on the chemical components of 80 wines bottled in France between 1990 and 2007 to a machine-learning model. (The algorithm also correctly guessed the year of origin half of the time.) Other than proving that AI can impress a dinner party, the findings demonstrate how local geography, climate, microbes, and wine-making practices combine to give each wine a unique flavor.
Your mischievous cat might actually be a killer. Researchers are calling domesticated felines one of the “most problematic invasive species in the world” after the first global study quantifying their diets found that outdoor and feral kitties eat more than 2,000 types of critters—including some endangered ones. In Australia, cats kill an estimated 300 million animals every year. Of the birds, mammals, insects, and reptiles they eat, 17% are of conservation concern, prompting some towns in Germany and New Zealand to keep their house cats inside…or consider getting rid of all the feral ones.
We’re one step closer to ending morning sickness. A hormone produced by fetuses causes many pregnant people to suffer from severe nausea and vomiting. But scientists think they may have found the solution to this common ailment. At the Maternity Hospital in Cambridge, England, patients with lower preexisting levels of the hormone GDF15 had more severe pregnancy sickness, while those with higher levels didn’t experience much nausea or vomiting once pregnant, according to researchers. This discovery indicates that reducing a person’s sensitivity to GDF15 by exposing them to it before pregnancy could effectively prevent them from getting ill while carrying.—ML
