28 Perennial Vegetables to Plant for Awesome Annual Abundance by Tania D'Amico

Although most vegetables are annual, did you know that many wonderful vegetable plants are perennial? Annual plants are those that only grow for one season die when the season is over.

Perennial plants are those that will come back at the start of each new season again and again. Here are 28 fabulous perennial vegetables to add to your garden for annual, low-stress harvests.

5G Radiation Dangers - 11 Reasons To Be Concerned by Lloyd Burrell

5G offers mind-blowing data capabilities, practically unrestricted call volumes and near infinite data broadcast. It does this by 5G using largely untapped bandwidth of the millimeter wave (MMW), which is between 30GHz and 300GHz, as well as some lower an

The biggest concern is how these new wavelengths will affect the skin. The human body has between two million to four million sweat ducts. Dr. Ben-Ishai of Hebrew University, Israel explains that our sweat ducts act like "an array of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths," meaning that we become more conductive. A recent New York study which experimented with 60GHz waves stated that "the analyses of penetration depth show that more than 90% of the transmitted power is absorbed in the epidermis and dermis layer."

There are volcanoes in Nevada's backyard. What does that mean for us? by Sam Gross

As images of lava rivers engulfing homes in Hawaii reach mainland viewers, Nevadans' thoughts turn to our region's own volcanic history, and wonder: Could it happen here?

Head south from Reno on U.S. 395 and you'll eventually drive (literally) into the 20-by-10-mile maw of an old and likely dying super volcano, or skirt the more recently active volcanoes of Mono Lake or Mammoth Mountain. And just 100 miles northwest of Reno lies Mount Lassen, the 10,500-foot volcano that the U.S. Geological Survey holds in the same risk category as Hawaii's currently erupting Kilauea.

Solar Geo-Engineering Studies Planned to Curb Climate Change by Non listed

Scientists in developing nations plan to step up research into dimming sunshine to curb climate change, hoping to judge if a man made chemical sunshade would be less risky than a harmful rise in global temperatures.

Solar geo-engineering studies would be helped by a new $400,000 fund from the Open Philanthropy Project, a foundation backed by Dustin Moskovitz, a co-founder of Facebook, and his wife, Cari Tuna, they wrote. "The fund could help scientists in developing nations study regional impacts of solar geo-engineering such as on droughts, floods or monsoons," said Andy Parker, a co-author and project director of the Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative.

New Studies Link Cell Phone Radiation with Cancer by Charles Schmidt

Researchers call for greater caution, but skeptics say the evidence from rat studies is not convincing

Does cell phone radiation cause cancer? New studies show a correlation in lab rats, but the evidence may not resolve ongoing debates over causality or whether any effects arise in people. The ionizing radiation given off by sources such as x-ray machines and the sun boosts cancer risk by shredding molecules in the body. But the non-ionizing radio-frequency (RF) radiation that cell phones and other wireless devices emit has just one known biological effect: an ability to heat tissue by exciting its molecules.

YouTube deletes entire Health Ranger video channel; deletes over 1700 videos in latest politically motivated censorship purge by Mike Adams

In the latest gross violation of free speech committed by radical left-wing tech giants, YouTube has now deleted the entire Health Ranger video channel, wiping out over 1,700 videos covering everything from nutrition, natural medicine, history...

Over the last two weeks, YouTube has been on a censorship rampage that's apparently run by the SPLC , a radical left-wing hate group that despises Christianity, the Second Amendment and patriots in particular. Hundreds of prominent conservative video channels have been targeted for termination by YouTube, leading many independent media leaders like myself to call for government regulation of YouTube to protect free speech and end the tyranny.

Sonora cracks down on homeless campsites; police vow to work with residents;

Disabled U.S. Army veteran Benjamin Barnow is one of about 14 homeless people living off the south side of Stockton Road in Sonora who received a notice from the city they had five days to move due to the Sonora's camping ordinance.

Those interested in donating to placing a waste container at homeless camps may contact Mark Dyken at the Jamestown Family Resource Center at (209) 984-4704.

Something In The Water by Jonathan Pattishall

Maybe your first glass of tap water in Reykjavík had the fine bouquet of a batch of rotten eggs, or the masking scent of a match struck in closed quarters. Maybe it was the stench of the Yellowstone caldera on an afternoon picnic at Old Faithful.

Icelanders are incredibly proud of their water. According to a recent OECD study, a full 97% of the country's population is satisfied with the water quality. I've been encouraged multiple times by locals to go drink water straight from streams in the countryside, because "you can do that here." (Where 'there' is, and what you can or can't do there, is always politely left unsaid.) Based on the way Icelanders talk about their water, you might think it best suited for washing stains of ambrosia and nectar off of cherubs' bums. And in all fairness, the pride is well placed. I have yet to encounter Icelandic water that tastes anything other than watery. So far, so good.

The West's dramatic wildfire season, explained - High Country News by Joe Eaton

The West is burning, and there's no relief in sight. More than 80 large wildfires are raging in an area covering more than 1.4 million acres, primarily in California, Montana, and Oregon, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.

California has declared a state of emergency as wildfires burn outside Los Angeles and threaten giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park. In Oregon, the Eagle Creek fire is tearing through the scenic Columbia River Gorge. Seattle, Boise, and Denver are socked in under a haze of smoky air and ash that experts predict could linger until the first snowfall in the mountains.

Sacramento District Attorney's Son Severely Vaccine Injured

Anne Marie Schubert is a long-time prosecutor for Sacramento. She's seen all the dirt that the bottoms of society has to offer. She's put many of them away for good.

Schubert, 53, took her son to see the family doctor in 2016. Her day was hectic as we'd expect the day of a District Attorney's to be. Her son, who she refuses to name out of privacy concerns, was having back pains. But when they arrived at the appointment, the doctor allegedly switched the focal point over to vaccines. The doctor noted that Schubert's son was overdue for the HPV vaccine.
