Hoss recommends seeding carrots in a thick band and not thinning them, so you’ll have a “dense forest of carrots” and get a lot of production out of a little bit of space. When grown this way, your carrots may not all come out uniform in size — some will be smaller and some bigger — but they’ll taste great just the same.

Blood transfusions are routine medical procedures around the world. Imagine being in the hospital and in need of blood. Chances are you’ll undergo a transfusion without giving it a second thought.

[…]mutations and what their health consequences might be. Furthermore, although cottonseed oil has been used for culinary purposes for many years, whole cottonseeds have never been an integral part of the human diet due to their gossypol content. Thus it is not known whether the GM cottonseeds will actually be safe to eat, even if gossypol levels have been reduced to a presumed safe level. Individuals may still experience adverse reactions (e.g. allergies) to other components still present in the seeds. In addition, unpredictable alterations to the cotton plant’s biochemistry, arising from the mutagenic effects of the GM transformation process […]

[…]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 […]
