POPSMONSANTO PATENTS ASSERTED AGAINST AMERICAN FARMERS REJECTED BY PATENT OFFICE One study of the matter found that, "Monsanto has used heavy-handed investigations and ruthless prosecutions that have fundamentally changed the way many American farmers farm. The result has been nothing less than an assault on the foundations of farming practices and traditions that have endured for centuries in this country and millennia around the world, including one of the oldest, the right to save and replant crop seed."

POPSVegan Lentil & Brown Rice Burgers They're also very versatile. I make the whole batch and keep them in separate bags in the freezer. The not only make fantastic burgers but I also use them as a "steak" with veggies and you can make mini one's and turn them into nuggets Variation: 1 cup dried lentils (I've used red, green, brown and blue but green are my favourite in these) 1 cup uncooked brown rice 5 cloves garlic 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 inch ginger, peeled 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cayenne Olive oil for browning

POPSBest Vegan Banana Muffins
Nutrition based on 10 servings, vegetable oil: 98cal, 3.1g fat, 0.6g saturated, 0mg cholesterol, 64mg sodium, 16.6g carbs, 1.4g fiber, 6g sugar, 1.6g protein Some comments: I liked them a lot -- they are very chewy from the oats, not cakey like banana bread or typical banana muffins These muffins are so good. I think I'm addicted, I can't stop eating them. I didn't have any vegan butter so I just used vegetable oil instead. I tried these once, and now they're a weekend ritual. The last time I made them I was out of sugar, so I used brown sugar... and I think it made them even better. And for a bit of a different flavor, try chopped peanuts. This is a great recipe. The oats adds a little crunch to it and is a twist to the traditional banana bread muffin. Next time I will use less sugar or even none as it tastes very sweet. I think just the banana adds enough sweetness. VEGANI: I like this recipe because it was a very simple process and turned out great. I only got 6 sm-med sized

POPSRise of man theory ‘out by 400,000 years’ A very controversial, unorthodox and exciting new theory on the history of humanity. Professor Helmut Ziegert from Germany, a very experienced and bright archaeologist, comes up with new findings that could shake all we know about the distant past of homo sapiens and the starting point of the Neolitic Age, which was the beginning of our civilization. Sean Kingsley, an archaeologist and the managing editor of Minerva, said: “This research is nothing less than a quantum leap in our understanding of Man’s intellectual and social history. For archaeology it’s as radical as finding life on Mars. “As a veteran of over 81 archaeological surveys and excavations . . . Ziegert is nothing if not scientifically cautious, which makes the current revelation all the more exciting.”

POPSNebra Disc: "Star Chart" Debate Revival The 3600-year-old Bronze Age artifact is one of the most spectacular findings for archaeoastronomy. Controversy continues on the function and the usage of the "star disc" but most scholars believe it was designed as a "celestial map" to mark the significant days in a year.

POPSNanoEthics Journal Via {{wildcat}}'s clip Nanoethics -- The watchdog of a new technology? This is the link to the (freely online available) journal NanoEthics and its first (and sofar only) articles. NanoEthics: Ethics for Technologies that Converge at the Nanoscale will focus on the philosophically and scientifically rigorous examination of the ethical and societal considerations and the public and policy concerns inherent in nanotechnology research and development. These issues include both individual and societal problems, and include individual health, wellbeing and human enhancement, human integrity and autonomy, distribution of the costs and benefits, threats to culture and tradition and to political and economic stability. Additionally there are meta-issues including the neutrality or otherwise of technology, designing technology in a value-sensitive way, and the control of scientific research.
