Pioneer Valley Workers Center. Hatfield, MA – For many farmers, the 2020 season has posed numerous difficulties: an ongoing drought, early frost and a need for extra public health precautions amid the pandemic, to name a few. But in a year marked by challenges, Riquezas del Campo farm, now in its second season, is growing. The immigrant-led, worker-owned cooperative farm got started later in the growing season when it started in 2019 and had just one customer, said […]
During this time, my grocery shopping trips have gotten larger. Whenever I go, I’m really going for the entire week, maybe two, and so that means stocking up on plenty of fresh produce. What this has made me realize though, is that I use a ton of those plastic produce bags. You know, those green bags on rolls that are somehow impossible to get open? Yeah, those. Because I’ve been trying to be more mindful of my impact these days, and because I’m always looking for elegant solutions that don’t involve a bunch of plastic bags floating around my fridge, I […]

Researchers at Russia’s Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed a new technology for creating artificial vessels, which are used in the treatment of acute vein thrombosis. When treating thrombosis, doctors attempt to restore the functionality of blood vessels medically or surgically. When impossible, the vessel is removed and replaced with an artificial one. The new method enables artificial vessels to easily take root in the body while providing optimal blood flow. “The uniqueness of the new domestic technology is that it is much simpler and 90 percent cheaper than existing methods of producing artificial vessels,” said Sergey Tverdokhlebov, head of the Plasma […]
These days, my produce drawer has been almost constantly stocked. Because I’m cooking more and trying out some new recipes, I need plenty of fresh ingredients on hand. I feel like I’ve been eating a lot healthier, which is great. But the problem that has come up is that before I can use all of my fruits and vegetables, they go bad. The leaves start to wilt and sometimes they even get all mushy and slimy. I didn’t think there was a way around this. And then I tried Bluapple. The Bluapple is easy to use. The pack comes with two […]
NASA requested that the smell of space be developed decades ago in order to help astronauts become accustomed to the very peculiar odour. One company has now decided to recreate the smell, and if the perfume is successful, it will create another space-themed fragrance.

The Eau de Space team said it has connected with NASA astronauts to […]

Hillary Clinton believes she is above the law.

Recall, Heather Samuelson reviewed Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails and 33,000 of them were ‘deleted’ with […]
