Good Morning!

Here is some good news for the day:

The Phoenix Mars Lander used its Robotic Arm to test a “sprinkle” method for delivering small samples of soil to instruments on the lander deck. Nasa will try this technique next on the lander’s optical microscope. Then they will sprinkle a sample into one of the seven remaining ovens of an instrument that analyzes samples, the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer. Scientists hope this will yield better results than the previous attempt, when few particles made it through the mesh screen over the opening to the oven.

A 95-year-old Florida woman realized a life-long dream on Sunday, June 8, because of the kindness of a stranger.

Vivien Jordan was recently featured in local newspaper. In the article she said she’d always wanted to visit Salt Lake City so that she could hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing. When Angela Waggoner read this article, she decided to make it possible for Vivien to do just that.

Best Buy is testing a free new program that will offer consumers an easy way to dispose of old TVs, computers, and other unwanted electronics.

This trial program will be announced Monday and will involve 117 Best Buy stores in eight states. They will collect a wide variety of unwanted electronics at no charge, regardless of where the items came from.

The pilot stores are in the California, Minneapolis and Baltimore markets. Some stores in North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia and Washington, D.C. will participate as well. Depending on results of the pilot, Best Buy may expand the recycling program to all of its 922 stores in the US.

One more just because it made me laugh-out-loud and I thought maybe you’d like it too:

Someone needs to rescue poor Donald Trump from his comb-over. It looks like it’s going to fly away with him!

So…do we have options? Are we just at the mercy of the big seed companies and corporations who seek to control the food production of the world?

I admit I was feeling quite overwhelmed and powerless until I did a little further reading and then I became convinced that we do have a few options, at least personally in our own little worlds…if we so choose.

It is possible to acquire, preserve and store a diverse variety of food and herbal non-GMO seeds and thus enable the human race to have access to non-GMO food and herbs in the days to come.

Thanks to a very informative website that I was fortunate to find this week, I have found that there are some sources for garden seeds. Visit www.BePrepared.com (800-999-1863; AF1-FG-S200). There you will find items like Garden Seeds in a Can (16 jumbo foil-lined packets of open pollinator seeds) - not terminator seeds!

We need to realize that once the GMO terminator seeds from the big seed companies finish integrating with seeds in nature, seeds that you and I store will be the only natural seeds left for all of humanity. This is very scary, considering that the seed companies admit that this is already occurring.

Lastly, I would like to encourage all of my readers to visit The Nutrition and Disease website that a recent reader shared with me. I spent several hours reading yesterday evening and this site is full of exciting and important information. You really don’t want to miss it.
