Three-Step Heirloom Tomato and Summer Fruit Salad Recipe (Packed Full of Antioxidants, Vitamin C, Gut Health Benefits and More)
One of the most exciting parts about summer is the abundance of fresh garden tomatoes — but sometimes it can be a little daunting to figure out what to do with them. Most people know tomatoes are healthy, but not all tomatoes are created equal. The type is extremely important, especially since grocery store tomatoes may be pumped full of ethylene gas for ripening, and also that conventional growers may use as many as 110 different chemicals in the field. By contrast, heirloom tomatoes are often grown organically from healthy seeds that have been saved and passed down from genera... more »

You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, so all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last. You have all the fears of mortals and all the desires of immortals… What foolish forgetfulness of mortality to defer wise resolutions to the fiftieth or sixtieth year, and to intend to begin life at a point to which few have attained." - Denis Diderot

A College Degree in Three Years?

By Thomas Lindsay Student loan debt in America is at a historic high. At nearly 1.6 trillion dollars, student loan debt exceeds even national credit card debt, and this in a country fairly addicted to credit cards. The three-year college degree, practiced in the United Kingdom for centuries, can reduce the cost of college by as much as 25 percent. Purdue University, in Indiana, has just begun offering a three-year degree in its liberal arts majors. Texas public college and university students need and deserve the same.

Honey the lonely dolphin, abandoned in Japanese aquarium, sparks public outcry
The plight of a lonely dolphin and dozens of penguins that have been abandoned in a derelict aquarium in Japan since the start of the year sparked protests this week, with activists and ordinary Japanese alike calling for the animals to be saved. The female bottlenose dolphin, nicknamed Honey, was captured in 2005 near Taiji, a western port town that has become notorious for its annual dolphin hunt that was featured in the Oscar-winning 2009 documentary “The Cove”, media reports say.

*"Perpetual Abuse in the Catholic Church"* by Paul Rosenberg "Before I get to details, let me be clear that I am not trying to destroy the Church, and I’m certainly not criticizing individual Catholics, most of whom are decent human beings and good neighbors. (And the victims in this as well.) The Church has a problem… a huge problem. Furthermore, the problem is very old and will never go away until its cause is removed.

Intimidating goodbye: New Zealand unit performs haka for departing U.S. troops
A New Zealand unit recently gave a traditionally intimidating farewell to visiting U.S. artillery troops in the form of a haka, a chant and dance from the country's indigenous population, the Maori. The Haka is iconic throughout the world. If you are interested in rugby, then you probably know that the All Blacks perform a haka at the start of each of the rugby games. But, did you know why they do it? There are multiple reasons; and it comes back to the fact that the haka is important to the indigenous people of New Zealand; the Māori.

"Turkey Now, America Later"
*"Turkey Now, America Later"* by Ron Paul "President Trump recently imposed sanctions on Turkey to protest the Turkish government’s detention of an American pastor. Turkey has responded by increasing tariffs on US exports. The trade war is being blamed for the collapse of Turkey’s currency, the lira. While the sanctions may have played a role, Turkey’s currency crisis is rooted in the Turkish government’s fiscal and (especially) monetary policies. In the past seven years, Turkey’s central bank has tripled the money supply and pushed interest rates down to 4.5 percent.While Turkey’... more »
