15 Foods That Can Be Regrown From Scraps I love gardening. Well, not actually the work behind the gardening so much – it’s the harvesting that I really look forward to. There is nothing like fresh veggies from your own personal garden! I actually just planted a bunch of things in my vegetable garden, and may have gone a little plant happy at the feed & seed store. Oops. Obviously, we all know about the normal ways to grow plants – from seeds. Let’s count them out – from 1 to 15… 1, 2, 3, & 4. These are the ones I regrow the very most, I always have a mason jar of green onions regrowing above my kitchen sink. 5. You can regrow lemongrass the same way you regrow the green onions. 6. Plant a small chunk off of your piece of ginger in potting soil with the newest buds facing up. 7. Pick a potato that has a lot of good formed eyes, and cut it into 2-3 inch pieces, taking care to be sure that each piece has at least 1-2 eyes on it. 8. You will need sweet potatoes with good formed eyes, just as you would want with a regular potato.

API > Enterprise Performance Management – Knowledge, Consulting, Research and Training FedStats Criminal Injustice: The Best Reporting on Wrongful Convictions (#MuckReads) We’ve rounded up the best MuckReads on faulty criminal trials: from prosecutors suppressing evidence, to the convicted’s continued struggle after exoneration. In 1991, an unemployed printer named David Ranta was convicted of killing a Hasidic rabbi in Brooklyn. Last week, Ranta was released from the maximum-security prison in which he’d spent nearly 22 years, after almost every piece of evidence used to convict him fell away. The New York Times reported that the lead detectives on the case “broke rule after rule” — they “kept few written records, coached a witness and took Mr. Ranta’s confession under what a judge described as highly dubious circumstances.” Last Friday, just a day after he was released, Ranta suffered a serious heart attack. With Ranta’s case in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the best reporting on wrongful convictions. Are Memphis Prosecutors Trying to Send an Innocent Man Back to Death Row? Who Shot Valerie Finley? Did we miss any important investigations?

Accueil Just what IS this mysterious thing under Sea of Galilee? - lynknudson21 - Gmail FBI sued over facial-recognition technology Text smaller Text bigger A team of privacy advocates and experts is launching a lawsuit against the FBI for refusing to provide information to the public about its new Next Generation Identification system, which the federal agency says is in demand for its biometric database of Americans. The lawsuit filed against the FBI in Washington by the Electronic Privacy Information Center is asking for a court order that information about the program’s contracts with private companies and its technical specifications be made available. EPIC said that the NGI system upon completion “will be the largest biometric database in the world” and will include files of fingerprints, DNA profiles, iris scans, palm prints, voice identification profiles, photographs and other identifying information already collected by states, counties and even schools. EPIC followed up shortly later with Freedom of Information Act requests for details about the program’s contracts with private companies.
