This means we don't have any wiggle room for salaries. The Spanish League's rules go through a financial fair play, which imposes salary restrictions and we don't have wiggle room. ""To expand that financial ‘fair play,’ Barça would have had to agree to an operation that entailed mortgaging part of the club’s TV licencing rights for half a century. When we had to decide, or I had to decide, I'm not willing to do that for anybody.""Leo wanted to stay at Barça and we wanted him to stay. The fact that he wanted to stay is what set us on the path to see if it was possible."
A new study reveals toxic oil waste products are harming the actual penis bones of otters. Gizmodo Earther reports Canadian researchers from McMaster University say the male organs of river otters are becoming more brittle. It was already known that exposure to compounds found in crude oil can decrease some animals’ reproductive success. River otters are a 'sentinel species,' meaning they often are affected by exposure to contaminants before other species register those changes. The authors say that Alberta otters’ weakened penis bones could mess with their ability to reproduce, which could greatly impact the food chain. To make matters worse, they fear that tar sands pollution could have an effect on humans’ reproductive systems as well.
