[…]until we are into the secret room,” says Bente Naeverdal, manager and engineer at the Svalbard seed vault. She takes scientist, Derek Muller, into the depth of the mountain to show him the ice vaults. It is built into the side of a mountain so that if all the ice melts on Earth, it will still be above sea level. There are three vaults. Muller captures it on video Its primary goal being to “preserve the diversity of the world’s food crops,” says Muller. It’s kept at -4 to -5 degrees celcius all year, naturally because of its environment. There are […]
[…]lack of side effects. Fungal infections In addition to fighting bacteria that causes acne, black seed oil also fights fungus. Black seed oil has proven anti-fungal effects against the common skin fungal infectious organisms (dermatophytes) which cause conditions like fungal nail infections, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm.

[…]to predict the weather? Predicting Weather Using a Persimmon Seed Cut open a persimmon seed (it’s best to use ripe seeds). Look at the shape of the kernel inside. If the kernel is spoon-shaped, lots of heavy, wet snow will fall. Spoon = shovel! If it is fork-shaped, you can expect powdery, light snow and a mild winter. If the kernel is knife-shaped, expect to be “cut” by icy, cutting winds. If you do this, please let us know on Facebook what region of the country you are in and what your seed says! Oh and if you don’t know what to do with all your […]
Seed Bombers Can Plant 900,000 Trees A Day By reusing old airplanes and retrofitting them to drop seeds instead of land mines, Lockheed Martin and Aerial Reforestation Inc. have anticipated that we could plant a billion trees every year. “Seed bombing” has become quite popular in recent years, as re-forestation takes on a value unmeasurable to money. Aerial reforestation can be used in any area that used to contain trees, and even in some deserts, and removes the requirement for individuals to perform the slow seeding process by hand. The fastest growing trees in the world grow 3+ feet per […]
After its third attempt to purchase its largest seed and chemical rival, Syngenta, and build towards a global monopoly, Monsanto‘s CEO, Hugh Grant, has given up. Syngenta refused, stating that “after engaging with Monsanto on their latest approach, the board unanimously rejected their revised proposal. It significantly undervalued the company and was fraught with execution risk.” The risks they mentioned involved legal hurdles such as violating anti-trust laws in the creation of an illegal monopoly and Grant’s, desire to execute a tax inversion – a dubious, but legal, tactic where the company would move it’s headquarters to the UK and […]

[…]in the most recent or the most solid science. The software works by tapping into the Knowledge Vault, a database of “facts” that Google has pulled off the Internet. Apparently, if a significant majority of Internet sites agree on a statement, it is considered a reasonable proxy for the truth. Pages that contain contradictory information are bumped down the rankings—which means that anything “alternative” will, by definition, be ranked lower. Google’s ranking system is its own business, but it currently enjoys a virtual monopoly in the field, and needs to stick to a system that is transparently objective. Otherwise, searchers […]
[…]regulate the production of hybrid seed, rejects the production, distribution and import of GMO seeds, and will ban transgenic seed research. This law will establish the “National Seed System” and this new group will monitor ag violations but will specifically focus on protecting traditional seeds, according to TeleSur. Here, EcoWatch provides us with Articles 1 and 2 of the new law: Article 1- The present Law has as its objective to preserve, protect, and guarantee the production, propagation, conservation, and free circulation and use of seed, as well as the promotion, research, distribution, and commercialization of the same, based on a socialist […]

[…]success and sustained interest lies within you and the little gardener(s) with whom you plant the seeds of hope—which is, of course, what a seed is and what a garden is—a promise of what will come. Top Tips For Novice Gardeners 1. Choose a site with as much sun as possible! If there is no sunny space, you can still plant a garden. Simply choose plants that thrive in shade. 2. Have your soil tested so you know its acidity or alkalinity. (Contact your local extension office.) Treat your soil and garden organically. Don’t use chemical pesticides or fertilizers. 3. Do […]
[…]covered recently in our article on sesame’s health benefits. So, how much is 40 grams of sesame seed? A tablespoon of sesame seeds is approximately 9 grams. So, approximately 4 tablespoons will get you to what the study found to be a ‘clinical dose.’ Also, the researchers powdered the sesame seeds in order to enhance digestion. Remember, it is best to do this fresh with a mortar and pestle (first choice) or coffee grinder, also making sure that your seeds are raw, certified organic, and vetted to have not undergone gamma irradiation. To truly appreciate the significance of this study, […]
[…]bag in deepest part of ocean To carry out the study, researchers gathered snow samples from the Svalbard islands using a fundamental method – a dessert spoon and a flask. Once back in the laboratory at Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, they were shocked to discover several more contaminating particles than they’d expected. Many of the particles were minuscule in size, and it was difficult to determine where they had originated. There were particles of plastic, as well as fragments of rubber tires, paint, varnish, and what appeared to be synthetic fibers. The lead scientist, Dr. Melanie Bergmann, told […]
[…]seed extract has bactericidal effects on MRSA. A combination of Citricidal (grapefruit seed extract) and geranium oil showed the greatest anti-bacterial effects against MRSA. Rosemary has activity against drug-resistant bacterial and fungal pathogens. Propolis exhibits antimicrobial effects on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains resistant to various antibiotics and some microorganisms. Cumin essential oil exhibits anti-Klebsiella activity. Green tea exhibits anti-MRSA activity. Mango seed kernel extract may potentially be useful as an alternative therapeutic agent or an adjunctive therapy along with penicillin G in the treatment of MRSA infections. Wormwood, tarragon and eucalyptus contain the compound pipertone which reduces antibiotic resistance […]
So, this happened. Following Wikileaks Vault 7 release alerting Americans to the fact that the CIA is using tons of exploits to turn all sorts of internet-connected smart devices into surveillance microphones, granting the intelligence agency access to millions of people’s private homes, people started asking questions. Namely, this woman below asked her ever-listening Amazon Echo device if it is connected to the CIA.

[…]Wikileaks’ release of the voluminous cache of Central Intelligence Agency documents known as Vault 7 — it seems Clarke has been proven correct. “As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks,” Wikileaks writes. “The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.” A number of inconsistencies and questions still surround the journalist’s sudden demise, despite the official ruling of accidental — but, perhaps, the CIA revelations offer the most feasible explanation. Neighbor and eyewitness to the […]

[…]diet can go a long way toward improving your health. This includes soy, canola, sunflower, grapeseed, corn, safflower, peanut and rice bran oil. Also, be mindful of olive oil and avocado oil, as both are commonly adulterated with cheaper seed oils. That said, even pure olive and avocado oil are loaded with LA. If, like me, you’re in the habit of eating olive oil, I would strongly encourage you to limit your intake to 1 tablespoon per day or less. In my view, olive oil is not a magic bullet and if you are already consuming 80 grams of LA […]
