Marijuana found growing in swimming pool after police raid on Pennsylvania home
Police in western Pennsylvania found truckloads of marijuana growing in an unlikely location.
Officers raided a home in Beaver County on Friday, finding a huge crop of plants inside what used to be a swimming pool.
Then, it all went up in smoke.
Police took the $100,000 worth of plants and burned them.
“It’s the first time for us. Usually in a rural area they put it in amongst the cornfields,” said Chief Rudy Harkins.

Swimmers Don’t Skip Leg Day | Ross Edgley
During 2019 I spent 157 days (and 1,780 miles) swimming around Great Britain. Spending 12 hours in the water per day, I essentially skipped leg day for 6 months and so often get asked about how I’ve been able to rehab my legs and adjust to life back on land. Which is why I wanted to make this video for you guys showing how my lower body conditioning is void of any specific strength and conditioning and more focused on “general” stress, stimuli, force and resistance.

Drone spots multiple bronze whaler sharks near swimmers, speaker system alerts them
At a Sydney beach our Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual search and rescue drone identified 5-10 bronze whaler sharks cruising along the beach at various points in time. We alerted the public using the emergency speaker system (recording a message live, transmitting it to the drone, and then playing it to the public), and nobody ever appeared at risk. While record-keeping is very poor, outright fatalities from bronze whalers are rare compared to Great White Sharks with only two recent deaths in Australia. One was at Tathra Beach in NSW in 2014 while another was at Bunker Bay in Western Australia in 2011. We have provided a few links below on reported Bronze Whaler fatalities:
