World's Largest Rooftop Farm: Local Toxin-Free Food For All. Imagine this: your grocery store has a rooftop farm where the produce you will eat and feed to your family is cultivated by a local farmer that lives in your community and is grown right up-top of the store. The food is affordable, minimally handled and uncontaminated by chemicals. It seems so idyllic that the typical reaction is skepticism.
Americans are neglectfully accustomed to paying sky-high prices for organic, sustainable food. We’ve come to a point where homegrown, local, toxin-free food feels fancy. The reality is that safe, nutritious, local food can be for everyone. And get this: that building in the image above will be topped off by the world’s largest rooftop farm, created by BrightFarms’ CEO Paul Lightfoot. When I learned that Paul and his team hatched a plan for the world’s largest rooftop farm I was in gear for a motivating connection.
“Don’t be discouraged. After studying the project, I had a few questions for Paul Lightfoot. Jill: What inspires you? About Jill Barth.

This morning I interviewed former Labour cabinet minister Alan Milburn, whose important government report on social mobility (Fair Access to Professional Careers) was published earlier this week.
The full interview will appear in next week's magazine but here's a taster for Staggers readers. Nick Clegg, who has made increasing social mobility his defining mission in government, recently suggested that greater mobility, not lower income inequality, should be the "ultimate goal" of progressives. Yet international evidence suggests that the latter is a prerequisite for the former. Countries such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Canada, where income inequality is low, have far higher levels of social mobility than the US and the UK, where inequality is high (see graph). I put it to Milburn that it would prove impossible to increase social mobility at a time when the coalition's cuts are turbocharging inequality.
In spite of this, Milburn remains hopeful of progress. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. After returning from a tour of Italy in 1788, his first major scientific work, the Metamorphosis of Plants, was published. In 1791 he was made managing director of the theatre at Weimar, and in 1794 he began a friendship with the dramatist, historian, and philosopher Friedrich Schiller, whose plays he premiered until Schiller's death in 1805.
During this period Goethe published his second novel, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, the verse epic Hermann and Dorothea, and, in 1808, the first part of his most celebrated drama, Faust. His conversations and various common undertakings throughout the 1790s with Schiller, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Johann Gottfried Herder, Alexander von Humboldt, Wilhelm von Humboldt, and August and Friedrich Schlegel have, in later years, been collectively termed Weimar Classicism. Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Goethe's father, Johann Caspar Goethe, lived with his family in a large house in Frankfurt, then an Imperial Free City of the Holy Roman Empire.
Goethe. Baruch Spinoza. Biography[edit] Family and community origins[edit] Spinoza's ancestors were of Sephardic Jewish descent, and were a part of the community of Portuguese Jews that had settled in the city of Amsterdam in the wake of the Alhambra Decree in Spain (1492) and the Portuguese Inquisition (1536), which had resulted in forced conversions and expulsions from the Iberian peninsula.[11] Attracted by the Decree of Toleration issued in 1579 by the Union of Utrecht, Portuguese "conversos" first sailed to Amsterdam in 1593 and promptly reconverted to Judaism.[12] In 1598 permission was granted to build a synagogue, and in 1615 an ordinance for the admission and government of the Jews was passed.[13] As a community of exiles, the Portuguese Jews of Amsterdam were highly proud of their identity.[13] Spinoza's father, Miguel (Michael), and his uncle, Manuel, then moved to Amsterdam where they resumed the practice of Judaism. 17th-century Holland[edit] Early life[edit] Expulsion from the Jewish community[edit]
Theodor Goldstücker. In 1838 he removed to Bonn, and, after graduating at Königsberg in 1840, proceeded to Paris; in 1842 he edited a German translation of the Prabodhacandrodaya by Kṛṣṇamiśra Yati (fl. c. 1050-1100), a standard text widely read by Sanskrit students in India. From 1847 to 1850 he resided at Berlin, where his talents and scholarship were recognized by Alexander von Humboldt, but where his political views caused the authorities to regard him with suspicion. He was asked to leave Berlin during the revolutions of 1848 in the German states. In 1850 he moved to London at the invitation of H. H. Wilson. In 1852 he was appointed professor of Sanskrit in University College London. He worked on a new edition of Wilson's Sanskrit dictionary, of which the first instalment appeared in 1856. He died in London.
As Literary Remains some of his writings were published in two volumes (London, 1879), but his papers were left to the India Office with the request that they were not to be published until 1920.
