19.6.2013 |
Organic Consumers Association News Headlines |
| Research has shown that many pesticides are neurotoxic and can cause disruptions to your neurological system and your brain. The reason why neurotoxins still enjoy widespread use on our food supply is really more about the bottom line for farming operations than it is about the science of human health.

Falcons mount a comeback, with some help

Minnesota Public Radio: News |
Peregrine falcons made a dramatic recovery after DDT was banned in 1973. A captive breeding and release program helped increase their numbers, and they were removed from the endangered species list in 1999. There are now between 2,000 and 3,000 nesting pairs in North America. |

| Gritty Thomas the Tank Engine Reboot — In this hyperrealistic reimagining of the classic children's franchise to be led by famed director Michael Bay, we learn of a locomotive factory in Steam Age England whose products work better than anyone else's. Too well, as it is revealed that the brilliant but unscrupulous designer of factory's products has been implanting actual human brains, creating intelligent human-industrial-equipment cyborgs.
Thomas Clay is a young petty thief who wakes up one day to find himself in the body of a steam locomotive. He wasn't supposed to retain his identity, but he has—and the other cyborg locomotives are beginning to "awaken" too. As angry transportation equipment rampages through England, can a bitter Thomas overcome his own appetite for destruction and revenge? Can he convince the other locomotives to do the same?

Erdogan Clears Gezi Park Protesters, Sets Stage for Polarization

| Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday evening into Sunday morning had police deploy water cannon and tear gas (some say laced with pepper spray) to clear Gezi Park of protesters and tents, after it had been occupied for a couple of weeks by those protesting the decision to cut down its trees and build a mall there. The heavy tear gas left many gasping for breath and taking refuge in a nearby hotel lobby, where many vomited because of the strength of the chemicals.
