Girls who are shamed about their bodies at a young age are actually more likely to grow up to be obese.
Will we be in time to stop this insanity before more young girls are brainwashed and end up obese or dead?

Stop making bee-killing pesticides. In the long run, you are killing all of us. Where do you think you can go to hide from this? The moon?
“A new report by Michele Simon and Friends of the Earth U.S. uncovers the deceptive public relations tactics chemical companies (such as) The Bayer company, Syngenta and Monsanto are using to manufacture doubt about science and fool politicians to delay action on neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides — a key contributor to bee declines. As the bee crisis worsens, these companies are using tobacco-style PR tricks to protect their profits at the expense of bees and our future.” – See more at: http://www.foe.org/beeaction#sthash.EOH2fKo1.dpuf See on twitter.com

Retailers won’t disclose how much money they’re getting from SNAP. Why not?
The entire SNAP or food stamps system is becoming more of a disgrace. This article just adds to the outrageousness of it.

“If you don’t know what a loquat is, you probably aren’t alone. A loquat is a fruit that grows on a tree in China, although farmers in California, the Middle East, and South America have learned how to grow very nice loquats.”
They sound delicious. I would like to try a loquat.

When conservators at the Art Institute of Chicago wanted to find the missing pigment in a portrait by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, they used laser light to reveal the original hues.
Nothing lasts forever as proved by an advanced technique for painting color analysis. A laser technique called surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy reveals that the red has faded in a Renoir painting circa 1883. This is due in part to the fact that the red pigment, carmine lake, was ‘made from crushed and ground cochineal insects that live on cactuses in Mexico and South America.’

The worst accident in Everest’s history underscores an unfortunate reality: ascents have gotten safer for Westerners, but not for Sherpas.
Will our consciousness change enough to prevent another tragedy like this from happening? I see no reason why not as long as enough people are made aware of the inhuman circumstances surrounding ‘recreational’ climbs up Mount Everest and others like it. The lives of those who can’t afford the luxury of doing this for recreation should not be put on the line for those who can. Something must be done about this inequity NOW.

“According to PANTONEVIEW.com contributor OLTMANS VAN NIEKERK, the digital universe is vast and impossible to pin down. Its pervasive force has had a major impact on the way we live and work. It seems that everything that people think is important is virtual and everything and everybody is in a hybrid, digital state. The digital is invisible and everywhere. No hard disks, no desktop computers, no fixed place. The asset-light generation embraces simplicity in order to gain freedom.”
I am not especially fond of the blues show here. Nor am I excited about ‘these new waves of blues trending for 2014 and beyond.’
