The Libertarian presidential ticket of Gary Johnson and William Weld tell us that they really want Americans to “live free.” How great is that? When these two former Republicans (yes, they both were good GOPers until a few years ago) move into the White House, we’ll all be free to do whatever we want without any interference from the big, bad government.

If you've ever been surprised to see your just-bought produce rot away faster than you'd hoped, take note: you could be putting the wrong fruits and veggies together.

Many fruits produce a barely detectable chemical called ethylene as they ripen. It's also often sprayed onto fruits and veggies to make produce ripen faster. 

But too much ethylene can lead to a loss of chlorophyll (what happens when your leafy greens turn yellow or brown). And the more ripe an ethylene producer is... Читать дальше...

Early results from Zambia's presidential election were released on Saturday, with poll observers calling for calm as delays in the counting process followed a tense campaigning period.

The months-long "spirit camp" protest by the Standing Rock Sioux against the Dakota Access pipeline — projected by the end of the year to be carrying nearly a half-million barrels of crude daily from North Dakota's rich Bakken oil fields more than 1,000 miles to Illinois — transformed this week from a quiet action to something more active, with about 100 who gathered Friday and with at least 18 people arrested in the construction zone Thursday and Friday, including the tribal chairman.
