I experienced the American health care system first hand, having been physically attacked and brutally knocked down at my job a number of years ago.
I had multiple health repercussions but the worst was a traumatic brain injury. My doctors subjected me to a battery of diagnostic tests and prescribed many different medications, all of which had side effects. It was a long and difficult road for me to travel.
After a while, I became depressed about my treatment. And, guess what, I was prescribed another pill. I felt like I didn't have any control over my own recovery. I began looking for alternatives to the traditional medical approach.
I was reminded of the famous quotation by Hippocrates: "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
I decided to help myself. I read many books about nutrition, supplements, herbs and essential oils. I followed through by visiting my local health food store and asking questions. I slowly changed my diet and began taking vitamins and other supplements.
I got off most of the medications, and I felt like I was finally making progress. I continued to educate myself about health issues and nutrition.
Are We Being Fed Government-Approved Poison?
And then it happened. BAM! Blindsided and thrown to the ground…again!!
That's how I felt when I learned there was a chemical in my food and water called glyphosate, the active ingredient found in the popular weed killer Roundup.
As part of my recovery, I had been eating a well-balanced diet and getting regular exercise. I had been eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods. I had been drinking more water and consuming fewer sugary drinks. I bought a blender/bullet and began making what I considered to be healthy smoothies. I thought I was doing great.
And then in 2015 I learned the devastating news about glyphosate and feared we all were being slowly poisoned.
Glyphosate is one of the most popular herbicides in the world. The main use of this chemical is in agriculture. Farmers routinely spray glyphosate on their crops to kill the weeds in their fields. On some farms, it is also sprayed on wheat as a drying agent before harvesting.
One of the biggest problems for us – as consumers – is that the information available about the safety of glyphosate is conflicting and confusing.
After doing my research, I was amazed to discover that glyphosate is in our food and water supply. I also was amazed that a respected international health organization said glyphosate probably causes cancer.
What Is Glyphosate and Why You Should Care?
Glyphosate has been in use since the 1970s as a potent weed killer. You may even have a bottle of Roundup around your home.
I find it very interesting that before glyphosate was introduced to the mass market as a weed killer it was used to clean and descale mineral deposits from industrial boiler pipes. Glyphosate has the ability to lock onto minerals and remove them from boiler walls.
Some scientists have expressed concern for years about the safety of glyphosate for human consumption. Its residue is on the fruits and vegetables that we eat. Feed containing glyphosate is consumed by the animals that provide us with meat, eggs and dairy products.
Scientific concerns about the safety of glyphosate got support in March 2015 from the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer, which declared it a "probable human carcinogen."
The organization said that non-Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the cancers most associated with glyphosate exposure.
This declaration by the World Health Organization prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to announce that it would begin testing certain foods for glyphosate. The FDA had been criticized in the past for failing to test for glyphosate residue in food.
A spokesman for the FDA said the agency was considering glyphosate testing of soybeans, corn, milk, eggs and potentially other foods, although the FDA hasn't provided a timetable for its testing program.
The use of glyphosate has exploded in recent years. One reason for this explosion is the development of "Roundup Ready" seeds that are tolerant to glyphosate. Therefore, farmers can spray their entire fields to kill weeds without destroying their crops.
Monsanto is the company that patented glyphosate and put it in Roundup. It also developed the Roundup-Ready seeds that are genetically modified to survive being sprayed with glyphosate. It is apparent that genetically modified (GMO) crops and glyphosate go hand-in-hand.
Corn is one of the food crops most likely to have been genetically modified and sprayed with Roundup. Others include soybeans, cotton, canola, sugar beets and alfalfa.
In response to the World Health Organization declaring glyphosate to be a probable human carcinogen, the state of California in September 2015 stated its intention to put glyphosate on its list of chemicals that cause cancer.
This prompted the filing of a lawsuit by Monsanto in early 2016 against the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment to block the placement of glyphosate on this list of cancer-causing chemicals.
Monsanto is a fierce defender of its product, contending that glyphosate is safe for human consumption. In fact, the company argues that glyphosate is as safe as table salt.
Monsanto has a huge financial stake in glyphosate because Roundup provided the company with about $5 billion in revenues in 2015. Revenue from seed sales, including Roundup Ready seeds, produced billions of dollars in additional revenue.
Despite Monsanto's defense of its herbicide, there are members of the United States Congress who have their doubts about the safety of glyphosate, by itself, and in conjunction with other ingredients in Roundup and similar weed killers.
Several dozen of these federal lawmakers sent a letter to the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on February 11, 2016, calling for a re-evaluation of another herbicide that contains glyphosate.
This other herbicide is called Enlist Duo, marketed by Dow Chemical, and in addition to glyphosate it contains 2,4-D, an ingredient that was in the controversial VietNam War-era herbicide Agent Orange.
In the letter to the EPA, these members of Congress cited the World Health Organization declaration regarding glyphosate's probable link to cancer. The letter stated: "The EPA registered Enlist Duo without considering this cancer finding, and without looking at any studies on glyphosate's cancer risk that have been published in the last twenty years."
In 1985, the EPA classified glyphosate as "a possible human carcinogen" but six years later the agency reversed itself and said glyphosate was "non-carcinogenic."
It is noteworthy that the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer relied, in part, on the same evidence that the EPA found persuasive in 1985 to suggest that glyphosate had carcinogenic potential.
The World Health Organization said its cancer research scientists considered not only the studies available to the EPA in 1985 but also "several more recent positive results in concluding that there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals."
Lawyers And Courts May Hold The Key To The Future of Glyphosate
In addition to government regulation, the future of glyphosate-based herbicides may be in the hands of the legal profession.
In March 2016, the widow of a California farmer sued Monsanto alleging that Roundup caused her husband's death from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. According to the lawsuit, the deceased farmer exclusively used Roundup on his 20-acre fruit and vegetable farm for 30 years. The suit said he never smoked, he stayed physically fit and had no history of lymphoma.
The legal team handling this lawsuit includes prominent environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy.
Said Kennedy: "Mounting evidence suggests that Monsanto knew about the hazards posed by glyphosate exposure, but failed to disclose this information to the public." He added: "Any time a corporation markets a harmful product to consumers as safe for use, it must be held accountable for the damage caused by that product."
Kennedy believes glyphosate liability could become the next "mass tort" similar to the decades-old mass tort litigation over the harm caused by asbestos.
There is other litigation against Monsanto alleging that Roundup caused cancer deaths, and that the company manipulated regulators and the public into believing its product was safe. These lawsuits, including cases in California, Florida, Missouri, Delaware, Nebraska and Hawaii, are making their way through the court system.
In addition to the cancer link, some scientists are concerned about other possible glyphosate-related health issues, including reproductive problems, leaky gut, autism and Parkinson's disease.
Another worry is that even very small amounts of glyphosate when ingested over long periods of time can have a negative impact on kidney and liver function.
Glyphosate is also a controversial herbicide in other countries outside the United States. Some governments have banned the use of glyphosate and others are reviewing its use.
The European Parliament has been unwilling to relicense glyphosate for the usual 15 years. Instead there are proposals to approve glyphosate for use in the European Union for 9 years, 7 years, 18 months or to ban it altogether.
Why I Care About Glyphosate
Until 2015 I had never heard of glyphosate, even though I had become a health and fitness enthusiast.
I was shocked to discover that I was consuming glyphosate residue with my supposedly healthy fruits and vegetables. I also learned that the animals from which we get our beef, pork and chicken are eating genetically modified feed that contains glyphosate.
I wasn't sure if I was being poisoned every time I ate fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy and eggs. So I began researching herbicides, pesticides and genetically modified organisms.
The information was conflicting. According to the United States government and Monsanto, glyphosate and GMOs are safe. But I came across many scientists who disagreed, including the cancer research scientists at the World Health Organization.
Who was right? Who could I believe? Was science being influenced by corporate power and conflicts of interest?
The mission of this website is to help you sort it all out and educate you about glyphosate, the herbicide that is causing so much controversy in the United States and around the world.
And glyphosate is not just in our food supply. Glyphosate is everywhere, from the pillows we sleep on to the clothes we wear. Unfortunately, cotton also is one of the crops that is genetically modified and is routinely sprayed with glyphosate.
Until this conflicting information about the safety of glyphosate is reconciled to my satisfaction, I have decided to "go organic" whenever possible. In the alternative, I look for the "Non GMO" label.
Organic fruits and vegetables can be purchased in most grocery stores. The term "organic" means the fruits and vegetables were not grown using harmful chemicals such as glyphosate. By definition, GMOs are prohibited in organic products. As an added benefit organic products may have a higher nutritional value.
Organic foods are certified by the United States Department of Agriculture. They contain a circular green and white label that says "USDA Organic." The Non GMO label is green, white and blue and says "Non GMO Project Verified."
Eating Organic Is A Great Option
The labeling of foods that are genetically modified has become a hot political issue in the United States. There are powerful forces that would like to keep consumers in the dark about GMOs rather than provide accurate labels.
GMOs were developed in 1996. The most common genetically modified crops in the United States are corn, soybeans and cotton. They are engineered to be resistant to herbicides such as Roundup.
GMO corn is present in many different products. Corn is used in high fructose corn syrup that is found in many processed foods. GMO corn is prevalent in the feed given to livestock. Corn starch is another product of GMO corn and is used as an emulsifier.
GMO soybeans also are used as animal feed, and soybean oil is used in many processed foods. Soy lecithin is a thickening agent that is derived from soybeans.
GMO cotton is the basis for cottonseed oil. It is inexpensive and is used for frying in some restaurants. It is used to make potato chips and margarine. Some parts of the cotton plant are also used in animal feed. Generally what is left over, the residue, is where cellulose comes from. Cellulose is a binding agent found in convenience foods, baked goods and even chewing gum. It gives ice cream its viscosity.
When I was growing up the vegetables I ate were all organic because they were grown by my father in his large garden from non-GMO seeds. We picked the weeds by hand, and we didn't spray the vegetables with chemicals.
Simple Recommendations for a Healthier Diet
So what is a smart consumer to do? I know from personal experience that it can be very stressful to sort through the conflicting information about what to include and what to eliminate from a healthy diet. It can be discouraging at times.
First, I recommend trying to keep things simple. Eat organic whenever possible. Planting your own vegetable garden might be a viable option for some people.
Second, I recommend reading labels. In particular, look for foods that are not genetically modified and avoid high fructose corn syrup. These so-called non-GMO foods are a second choice behind organic.
Finally, I recommend taking it slow. Rome wasn't built in a day. Bookmark this website for articles that will help you educate yourself about the dangers of glyphosate and other harmful chemicals in our food and water supply and in our environment.

From Sidcup To The Euphrates
An Outline Of The World Water Crisis
James Venables
Entering the debate on the worlds water resources can feel as if you are drowning in its complexity. Most debates begin with the relatively comprehendible statistics that 1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water, and that 97.5% of the worlds water is salt water. The immediate assumption is that this problem, even at this scale of magnitude, has a technical fix. Surely the solution is to remove salt from the water and distribute to those without? Given that 70% of the worlds population lives within 50 miles of coastal areas , surely the bulk of any problem is a failure of political will, and not due to inherent economic or scientific barriers?
It is true that the technology needed to remove salt from water (desalination) is not inherently complex, and a diverse array of methods for achieving this are in existence. As of 17th March 2003 Saudi Arabia was providing 70% of its drinking water with desalinated water. Impressive statistics such as this belie the underlying limitations. Desalination is highly energy intensive, which creates the problem of it being necessary to have an affordable and reliable energy source, and the problem that considering that 85% of freshwater is used in agriculture and other industries, the prospect of creating massive and energy
intensive water industries to feed the other industries is currently beyond the limits of even the richest nations.
With a grand technical fix initially discounted, this discussion will look at ways in which competition for this scarce resource are expressed. Whether it's competition between nations which share river systems, competition between corporations and communities they inhabit, or conflict within the communities themselves, the underlying tension is always the same; that while other resources may be scarce and generate fierce competition, water is unique in that it both has no substitutes and it is vital for survival. Within this scheme I will outline the complexity of the problem on technical, social, political and
economic levels, while at the same time attempting to distill how these problems may be mitigated even if many of the political barriers remain.

Pueblo Green Chile: The History, Origin, and Ethnobotany of a Most Delicious Pepper
Capsicum annuum
With Special Attention Given to the Pueblo Green Chile
In any given bushel of Pueblo green chili peppers, you are bound to find a random pepper that will burn your face off. When publishing an article about Pueblo Green chilies—especially the regionally specific dish made with it, green chili—you can bet your bikinis that somebody is going to be randomly furious about something you've said, how you've spelled it, or even who the blank you think you are for writing about it. After all, where pride burns hottest, war is inevitable.
The narrator tears off his shirt revealing a heaving castle of research musculature and grunts,
"let's roll, punks!"
The truth is, this introduction is being written at absolute zero. Right now, we are chile charlatans… pepper pretenders. We may know that the fragrance of roasting Pueblo Green Chilies was probably intended for Heaven alone, and that Green Chili is delicious, but that's about all we know.
Well, it is time for that to change.
We are on a mission, Traveller! Buildings are exploding behind us. Our clothing is tattered. We are strutting forward in 0.25 times normal speed from ignorance to bliss. That one song by Golden Earring is blasting, and Dwayne Johnson has appeared for some reason. *Where did you come from, Rock?
It's time for answers, so let us start the interrogation.
What is the history of the Pueblo Green Chile?
Who is responsible for breeding the Pueblo Green Chile?
How Have Chili Peppers Been Used Medicinally?
Who farms Pueblo Green Chilies?
Who is selling Pueblo Green Chilies and derivative products online?
*Our high five claps like thunder
Well, be prepared to step into the Twilight Zone, Traveller. Not only are we about to "interrogate" the farmers, hot sauce makers, and other characters involved, we are about to learn from the CREATOR of the Pueblo Green Chile himself: The Don… Dr. Mike Bartolo.
Family — Solanaceae
Family Characteristics — Solanaceae family members are herbaceous plants with alternate leaves that exude a clear liquid when broken [8]. Solanaceae members have bisexual flowers that usually contain 5 stamina, 5 united petals, 5 united carpels, and a two-chambered ovary [8].
Aliases — Chile, Chili; Sakaipilo {meaning: unknown} (MAGAGASCAR); Polo Papalagi {meaning: White Man's Polo; Polo means "to cut" and is a term for the pepper} (SAMOA); Bia {Meaning: generic term for the Capsicum pepper} (SIONA).
Binomial Etymology— Caps- is derived from the Greek word, capsa, which refers to a box or chest, and annu- is derived from Latin meaning a year [9].
Binomial Pronunciation: — KAP-sih-kum AN-yoo-um
A Brief History of the Capsicum Pepper
While Capsicum peppers have been cultivated in northern Peru since at least 2,500 B.C.E., there is archeological evidence that humankind has been munching on our beloved fire-fruits for around 6,000 years [10]. At the time of the Spanish Conquest, the Aztecs located in modern Mexico had already been using chilies as a spice, cultivated food, disciplinary aid in child rearing, and even as a method of execution [12]. The image below, sourced from the Codex Medoza (1542), depicts a naked and weeping 11-year-old boy (left) being disciplined by his father as he is subjected to the smoke of flaming chilies, and a mother (right) threatening her weeping daughter with the same punishment [12].
I plan on displaying this picture in my son's room. When he asks about it, I will tell him that it depicts an Aztec daddy punishing his son for [enter whatever my son most recently did wrong].
Oh yeah! You may have caught a mention of the Capsicum pepper being used to execute people?
One account by the Dominican friar, Diego Durán (1537 – 1588), detailed an uprising by people of the Cuetlaxlan province against the Aztecs with the help of indigenous Tlaxcalan warriors. The story goes that—with sanction from Cuetlaxlan lords— the Tlaxcalans executed a local Aztec Governor. When the Aztecs sent messengers to inquire about the tribute payments they had been expecting, the Tlaxcalan warriors locked the messengers in a bedchamber and suffocated them with the smoke of burning chilies [12}. To say that was "harsh" is both an understatement and descriptively accurate.
Now that we have outlined a brief prehistory in Peru and use in Mexico, we must start wondering how the Chile that was to become the Pueblo Green Chile made its way to Pueblo, Colorado.
It is possible that the botanical forbears of the Pueblo Green Chile originated from the Oaxaca region of Mexico [6].
Either directly through the Sante Fe Trail (1840s), or indirectly through the breeding work of a New Mexico State University horticulturalist, Dr. Fabián Garciá (early 1900s), the seeds that were to become the Pueblo Green Chile arrived in Pueblo, Colorado, ultimately, via Mexico [6].
Dr. Garciá brought in strains cultivated by the native people of New Mexico to The New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (today known as New Mexico State University), and developed the peppers that were larger and had less "broad shoulders" for increased ease in peeling [7].
Year after year, Pueblo farmers grew these chilies, tied ribbons around the best peppers, and saved seeds from the fruits for the next year's crop. After decades of this practice, a distinct landrace of Chile emerged in Pueblo: the Mira Sol (Spanish for "looking at the sun"). These chilies pointed upwards like swords toward the sky, as opposed to hanging downward. They were also referred to as the Pueblo Chile, or, less frequently, "New Mexico Improved [6]." The Mira Sol pepper had been grown in Pueblo for almost a century, until a man named Dr. Mike Bartolo fatefully came across an old bag of seeds.
Who is responsible for breeding the Pueblo Green Chile?
Like many farmers in Pueblo county, Dr. Mike Bartolo grew up on the St. Charles Mesa as a descendant of Italian immigrants whose professional lives were intertwined with the steel mill and farming. Being familiar with the farming world, Mike went north to pursue his undergraduate and master's studies in agriculture at Colorado State University, and later attended the University of Minnesota for his PhD in Plant Physiology. While hesitant to call himself a "gene jockey," Dr. Bartolo found himself spending a great deal of time in the lab [6].
So, when Mike emerged from the lab a ghostly white—adjusting his eyes to earthly sunshine with his PhD in 1986—he was eager to return to his family in Pueblo.
As fortune would have it, a position at the Colorado State University Arkansas Valley Research Center in Rocky Ford (a short while away from Pueblo) became available: an opportunity that would bring Dr. Bartolo close to family, not imprison him with lab work, and allow him to exercise his passion for plants.
Thirty years later, Dr. Bartolo [MIKE] agreed to talk with PULLUPYOURPLANTS.COM [PUYP] at the Arkansas Valley Research Center about the circumstances surrounding the development of the Pueblo Green Chile.
Interview with the Creator of the Pueblo Green Chile: Dr. Mike Bartolo
While the fragrance of the roasting Pueblo Green Chilies is prone to light up anyone's olfactory bulbs with a sense of comfort and seasonal nostalgia, the most widely used Pueblo Green Chile variety is a very recent development born of luck, science, and a legendary bag of seeds.
[PUYP] "I've read that the Mosco variety that you had developed [that later became known as the Pueblo Green Chile] came from a bag of seeds… how big was this bag of seeds?"
Mike suddenly presented a white canvass bag with H87 handwritten on the outside and holds it before me.
[MIKE] That's it!
My stoic facade vaporized before Dr. Bartolo's eyes as he coughed from chile dust and, perhaps, a little amusement.
[MIKE] It's low germ… that's over 32 years old, that seed. My uncle passed away in 88', so this is seed he had saved in 87'. My aunt had that hanging in her garage, and her brother— my dad—was helping her. I had just started working here a couple years later, and he said, 'do you want this seed?'… I said 'sure!' So that's where I took that seed and I had some test plots and I grew four rows of this just to see what it does and that's where everything started: out of that bag of seed.
[PUYP] Four rows… how many plants?
[MIKE] Well, I mean, it was hundreds, you know. Hundreds. And out of those four rows I just saw one different looking plant… so I decided to save the seed from that one plant and I kept doing that… I kept doing that for several generations doing what is called single plant selections, and after several generations, I said 'hey, this is something cool." So that's when I started increasing… the seed to the point where I could start giving samples to growers. Probably the first sample I gave out was to a guy named Carl Musso… and he was the first person who was willing to take a chance and grow out the Pueblo Chile. He was a year younger than me, he went to school with my brother… it could have been a train wreck, but he was the first that took a chance. We started giving out more samples and pretty soon growers started growing it, growing it, growing it, and it supplanted this variety.
Dr. Bartolo retrieved the Pueblo Green Chile Logo with the Mira Sol pepper pictured in the foreground and pointed to it.
[MIKE] [Mira Sol] is still grown but this had some different horticultural traits. It still retained that Mira Sol characteristic but it was a larger fruit, had thicker walls, and was more amenable to roasting. It had a good unique flavor profile to it. It's pretty hot, you know, so people that liked to eat the chile liked it, but to be honest, its a little too hot for my own liking.
[PUYP] Can you tell me a little bit more about your Uncle Harry Mosco?
Harry Mosco was Mike Bartolo's uncle and the man who left behind the bag of seeds that would become the Pueblo Green Chile.
[MIKE] Yeah, he was typical of an Italian American Farmer. He was a veteran of World War II. He was a real honest, hardworking, kind of quiet man farming right adjacent to where I grew up. They lived right next door to my parents and my grandparents. He grew chile all the time. You know, like I said, he was typical of the Italian American Farmer. There were a lot of Mussos, and Moscos, and DiSantis, and DiTomasos and all of those guys.
[PUYP] I can't believe you pulled that bag out.
[MIKE] I was going to put it away but it is kind of a nice prop now, but that is the bag. All it says on it is H87… Harry 87'. But every time I pick it up it still has got a lot of pungency with it so I sneeze and cough.
[PUYP] Did you plant those with the specific intention of developing a new variety?
[MIKE] No. I just got the seed and said 'I have some space, let's throw it out there.' I had no intentions of being a plant breeder. I just said, 'let's see what happens.' Then I was walking by the plants in the field one day and said, 'hmm, that's interesting.' That's it… pretty soon, one thing led to another. That was the first of 400 different single plant selections I have done over the last 29 years.
[PUYP] How long was it before you were satisfied that the Mosco variety was growing true to seed and was a distinct variety?
[MIKE] I would say at least eight or nine years.
[PUYP] How long before the Mosco variety was officially crowned the Pueblo Green Chile?
[MIKE] You know, I don't know how it became that because it just started becoming grown more. A variety of serendipitous or fortuitous things came into place. The Chile Festival started prior to the release of this and so that helped to bring it more into prominence… there was a group of us. Rod Slyhoff, who is the current President of the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, myself… there was a bunch of us that had convened, and we brainstormed. You know, "what can we do to help promote agriculture?" What came out of it was this Chile Festival. The first one was very modest. It was very small and now…really that whole growth can be attributed to Rod's leadership… it has grown exponentially. [The Pueblo Chile and Frijole Festival] certainly helped, probably, add to the recognition of the Pueblo Chile… Then growers started getting organized; they got several projects that were helped through the Colorado Department of Agriculture to help promote it. All of these things started building on themselves. Now you have all of this stuff between the governors and the twitters and all of this stuff. It's kind of fun… but there is a uniqueness to this chile pepper.
[PUYP] How often would a plant breeder expect to have a variety of their… anything… explode like this has?
[MIKE] I don't want to downplay it like it's not that big of a deal, but it's not grown on that many acres. It's not like a new variety of wheat that's grown on hundreds of thousands of acres, you know. It's pretty modest in size but it's got a lot of notoriety. I've used this line before: I call it "the Kim Kardashian of crops" because it gets a lot more attention than it deserves based on its contribution to society.
[PUYP] Its legend is larger than it is…
[MIKE] Yeah! It's legend is larger than, really, it is! You know, it's not the perfect horticultural plant by any means. I always look at it like, ugghhh, 'this is different and that is different,' but it is what it is and people like it.
[PUYP] Do you have any advice for anybody that would be interested in getting into your realm of work?
[MIKE] Just do what you like. That's all you've got to do. Just do what you like and the rest kinda falls into place. Anybody can be a plant breeder. You can save your own seed and make your own crosses. Chilies are kind of an easy one. They are mostly self pollinating but they will outcross. 99.9% of the time that's what I've done. I've grown all of these types of varieties of peppers and I let nature take its chance and I select them. If I was really working for Monsanto or Seminis or some other seed company, I would have probably been fired years ago. I just do it haphazardly and let Mother Nature take its course. There is no real direction to it except I do select under these conditions. If there is a disease problem— which we have this year—or there is some other issue, sometimes, that's not bad because then you see individuals that really are resistant to that and they look better even under dire conditions. I hate that. It kills me seeing all of these plants going, ugghhh, but sometimes that's not a bad thing. It helps to look for these unique individuals and helps screen those out. But, like I said, if I worked for a seed company I'd have been fired years ago.
Dr. Bartolo insisted on me calling him Mike, however, I cannot help but to continue calling him Dr. Bartolo in print. With respect to his life's work and role in developing, not only a chile, but the character and cultural identity of Colorado itself, how could we not? I'd be hard pressed to find a more patient and pleasant man to be around. We spent some time trying varieties of tomatoes in his test plots, and chatted for quite a while. Thank you for your time, Dr. Bartolo!
Ethnobotany of the Capsicum Pepper
As early as the 16th century, people of SPAIN and INDIA utilized the plant to help with indigestion of meat, mixed the pepper with honey to treat treat inflammation (referred to as quinsy) of the throat and tonsils, malaria, edema, colic, toothache, gout, flatulence, tympanitis, and paralysis (?!?!) [13].
Capsicum annuum was used extensively among a myriad of Native American tribes as a food, spice, and item of trade. Medicinally, the CHEROKEE used Capsicum annuum for fevers, colds, colic, gangrene, and as a stimulant; the NAVAJO used the powdered chile, applied to the nipple, for weaning infants [14].
In ETHIOPIA, C. annuum and a garlic bulb are taken together before breakfast for five days to combat malaria [16].
In BENIN, a country in West Africa, enemas containing C. annuum are administered to infants to combat constipation and to flush out the meconium in newborns [17].
In the Agnalazaha littoral forest in MADAGASCAR, C. annuum is used to treat rheumatism and pain [18].
In addition to drying and roasting, the PIMA would first roast the peppers, pound them with a mortar and pestle, and fashion them into cakes which were dried. Pieces of the dried cake were broken and used as seasoning when needed throughout the winter [15]. Tell me this doesn't sound like a brilliant idea! Let's try it!
Pima-Inspired Green Chile Cakes
As mentioned above, it was reported that the Pima would pound roasted/peeled green chilies, fashion them into cakes, and dry them for winter use. I tried this and it worked out brilliantly.
I purchased fresh-roasted green chilies, cut them up with kitchen shears, placed them in a bowl, mashed them with a potato masher, added salt (to draw out moisture), made them into meatball shapes, and dried them overnight in the oven at 150°F (66°C). They retained their shape and fragrance beautifully.
Who Farms Pueblo Green Chilies?
In early August, while visiting Gary Di Tomaso to discuss the history of his 300+ acre operation in Pueblo County, I had asked when Di Tomaso Farms first started. While the DiTomaso Farm structure itself was erected in 1928, his Great Grandfather had been operating a fruit stand consisting of a donkey and a red cart on the site since… well. When I asked Gary for a "hard date," he called his sister, Nate, Kim, and beckoned "go ask Lenny" until a large enough cohort of the entire family arrived at a consensus in the Di Tomaso office: their Great Grandfather had arrived in Pueblo in 1915 from Civitanova del Sannio, Italy, and started the Di Tomaso farm stand in 1920.
It is apparent how much the DiTomasos rely upon one another on a daily basis.
Gary was kind enough to drive me through their fields of Anaheim peppers and Pueblo Green Chile that the DiTomasos sow from seed every year. He presented his young peppers for a few pictures and noted that a section "needed a drink." All of the coordination, hard work, and experience of the Di Tomasos was on obvious display to anyone driving past.
In 2020, let us celebrate DiTomaso Farms' centenary!
Where can I purchase Pueblo Green Chile stuff?
If you do not have the privilege of walking to a local market as Pueblo Green Chilies are roasting, or if you have not had the divine luck of visiting Pueblo, CO, during the Chile and Frijole Festival, you can certainly do the next best thing: order some Pueblo Green Chile products online.
The following company was kind enough to respond to my email, provide a sample, and chat for a minute about their wares. PEXPEPPERS IS NOT A SPONSOR OF PULLUPYOURPLANTS.COM BUT YOU CAN BE by visiting patreon.com/pullupyourplants .
I'm slick, aren't I?
PEXPEPPERS Hot Sauces (Pueblo Red and I'm So Chile)
I find people who can turn their life around doing unusual things to be highly interesting. Garrett Peck, CEO and owner of PEXPEPPERS, is exactly that kind of interesting. Since starting to make hot sauce in 2012 as a project to keep himself sober, his sobriety and hot sauce game has remained strong for seven years and counting. Originally from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Garrett moved his company to Pueblo, Colorado, in 2016 to work specifically with the Pueblo Green Chile. The result: Pueblo Red and I'm So Chile hot sauces.
Both hot sauces are made from green chilies sourced from Musso Farms. The Pueblo Red uses peppers that have ripened to a lipstick red, and the I'm So Chile uses traditional roasted and unripe green chilies. Both have a heat level hovering around medium and mild. The heat is gentle enough for a hot sauce lover of middling tolerance to consume it like a suckling lamb directly from the bottle. I am doing that right now.
Pueblo Red
The Pueblo Red has an undeniably fruity quality. If I wasn't reading the ingredients, I'd swear there were cherries in there. There is a level of acidity to it on par with an orange. The texture, unlike something like Tabasco, is "chunky" (possibly the best word to say out loud) and more apt to be piled on to something than dribbled. On a whim, I piled Pueblo Red on a hunk of fresh Rocky Ford cantaloupe and found it to be a delicious combo.
I'm So Chile
Also fortified with chickety-cha-CHONKiness, I'm So Chile hot sauce has both the acid and sweetness level of an almost-ripe kiwi. The smokiness is slightly hidden behind the acidity and onion flavor. I'd assume savory characters like meats and quesadillas would happily welcome I'm So Chile to plop down upon them.

Janson's History of Art: The Western Tradition
Prentice Hall, 2011 - Art - 1152 pages
For courses in the History of Art.
Rewritten and reorganized, thisĀnew edition weaves together the most recent scholarship, the most current thinking in art history, and the most innovative online supplements, including digital art library. Experience the new Janson and re-experience the history of art.
Long established as the classic and seminal introduction to art of the Western world, theĀEighth Edition of Janson's History of Art is groundbreaking. When Harry Abrams first published the History of Art in 1962, John F. Kennedy occupied the White House, and Andy Warhol was an emerging artist.Ā Janson offered his readers a strong focus on Western art, an important consideration of technique and style, and a clear point of view. The History of Art, said Janson, was not just a stringing together of historically significant objects, but the writing of a story about their interconnections, a history of styles and of stylistic change. Janson's text focused on the visual and technical characteristics of the objects he discussed, often in extraordinarily eloquent language. Janson's History of Art helped to establish the canon of art history for many generations of scholars.
The newĀEighth Edition, although revised to remain current with new discoveries and scholarship, continues to follow Janson's lead in important ways: It is limited to the Western tradition, with a chapter on Islamic art and its relationship to Western art. It keeps the focus of the discussion on the object, its manufacture, and its visual character. It considers the contribution of the artist as an important part of the analysis. This edition maintains an organization along the lines established by Janson, with separate chapters on the Northern European Renaissance, the Italian Renaissance, the High Renaissance, and Baroque art, with stylistic divisions for key periods of the modern era. Also embedded in this edition is the narrative of how art has changed over time in the cultures that Europe has claimed as its patrimony.

Ash Glazed Stoneware Yunomi
Ash Glazed Stoneware Yunomi
A yunomi (Japanese: 湯のみ) is a form of teacup, typically taller than wide, with a trimmed or turned foot. Unlike the more formal chawan tea bowl which is used during the Japanese tea ceremony, the yunomi is made for daily or informal tea drinking.
This medium sized yunomi is hand thrown from Cornish stoneware clay dug in St Agnes, England. Fired to 1280-1300 degrees celsius in a gas fuelled kiln with a reduced oxygen atmosphere to obtain rich, earthy green glaze.
The earliest wood ash glazes can be traced back to the Shang period in China (c. 1500 B.C.), and it is thought they were produced accidentally, the result of white-hot wood ash being carried through the kiln with the draft of the fire and settling onto the pots, where the searing white heat melted it to a glass. Three thousand years later wood ash remains an important and popular feature of pottery glaze making.
Due to high demand this product may take up to 2 weeks to dispatch.
All Wooden & Woven products are handmade in England, the materials used are either locally grown, recycled or from responsible and sustainable sources.

Kevin Spacey was the toast of New York at a Museum of the Moving Image gala celebrating the actor Wednesday night.
The two-time Oscar winner delivered a funny, touching speech at the 28th annual salute, filled with anecdotes about The Usual Suspects and Jack Lemmon, among other stories, along with Spacey's impressions of Lemmon and Bill Clinton.
Before Spacey accepted his award, a glass bowl that he pretended to bobble as if he were going to drop the fragile prize, many of his famous colleagues paid tribute to the actor.
Samuel L. Jackson, Denis Leary, Spacey's producing partner Dana Brunetti, House of Cards creator Beau Willimon, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, Kate Bosworth and Penn Badgley all turned out to support Spacey and say a few words on his behalf.
Later, Spacey weighed in on their remarks, sharing stories about working with them and the many clips of his work that were shown throughout the evening.
"I haven't seen most of those f---ng clips since the like screening of those movies when they first came out," Spacey said during his f-word-filled speech. "And so, I'm having kind of a 'Wow, I haven't seen that f--ing scene in … 25 years.'"

Karnataka Water Resources Minister D K Shivakumar has sought an appointment with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami to discuss the proposed Mekedatu project and reach an amicable solution.
"The government desires to have an amicable solution. It appears that some misconceptions about the proposed project have occurred in government's and Tamil Nadu people's mind through the actual reality of the project is different," he said in a letter to Palaniswami.

"In view of this, I hereby seek your appointment to present the project details and also have discussion as indicated above at your convenient time," he added. Shivakumar said the project would help in regulating the judicious release of water so that excess water is not allowed to flow from the Mettur dam into the sea needlessly as has had happened this year.
Shivakumar, who also spoke to reporters, said the project was being considered for the state's power needs, not for irrigation. He also urged Tamil Nadu not to politicise the issue. The Central Water Commission recently allowed Karnataka to prepare a Detailed Project Report for the construction of a balancing reservoir-cum-drinking water project at Mekedatu across the Cauvery, which has been opposed by both the ruling AIADMK and DMK.

So I've run into some issues with Github.
If you have any required builds which aren't triggered by the staging branch, Github will disallow the merge. This can be worked around but it can be annoying.
More concernedly, if you have any required reviewers, Github will block the merge. You can use the Bors toml file to require reviewers but Bors doesn't support the CODEOWNERS file. This means that you can't require reviews from certain people or teams.
One possible work around, is to have bors squash the PR in-place. I'm not really a fan of it because I don't think Bors should be modifying a user's branch. The other alternative is to implement CODEOWNERS support in Bors.
Any thoughts?

Paul Owusu trip, Ghana Culture, Preparing to go to Ghana/
A few notable things have happened with the work in Ghana since our initial blog post and I would like to take this time to inform you of those things as well as look ahead to what may be forthcoming.
The first two days after launching the website we saw over 200 visitors, most of which visited the lessons and sermons page. We are encouraged that so many people have been drawn to these parts of the website and can only pray that God would use it for his honor and glory. Furthermore, we purchased an online Facebook ad and directed it towards people in Ghana. Unfortunately, the data showed that people did not stay on the website very long so we are looking for other ways to spread the word about the website in Ghana. When I travel there in June, I intend to take business cards with the native preachers names on it, which will include the URL for the website. As Ghana gains better access to the internet, it is my hope that this website will be one of the first Christian resources available to natives in Ghana. Pray that God would direct us in the right path to help His truth be spread in this fertile field. (Side note: We have since added new sermons, essays, and lessons to the website and will be updating it the first day of each month. Be sure to check back each month for new content). We recently discussed translating certain resources into Twi and are looking for the best way to approach this effort. Please pray that God would direct us in this important endeavor.
In mid-March, Brother Paul Owusu and his wife, Felicia, traveled to the U.S. and he is presently preaching in churches throughout the Midwest. This is Sister Felicia's first trip to the U.S. and despite the language barrier, she seems to have enjoyed much of her time here, especially the fellowship at the women's portion of the Old Union Minister's School.
During his visit to Indianapolis, Brother Paul and I were able to record him preaching a sermon in Twi, which will be posted on the website as soon as possible. We were also able to talk in person for the first time since starting the fund, and he helped me better understand some of the needs of this work and how we might best approach teaching the churches and missions, as well as evangelizing the untouched communities.
A lot of Brother Paul's instruction helped me gain better insight to how we might best approach the work in Ghana. In Ghana, as well as most parts of Africa, the people have a high regard for the Western world because of our economic prosperity. Though this can be a good thing, this respect is a two-edged sword for sincere men trying to spread the gospel. On one hand, it allows cross-cultural missionaries to share the gospel with a large audience, many of which would not listen to the native preachers. On the other hand, the motives of the listeners can be very difficult to discern as their fascination with the missionaries could rise from a desire to create a friendship which will eventually lead them to financial gain. In this third world country, as well as most, the health, wealth, and prosperity doctrine is very prevalent and must be vehemently taught against. None of this is to say that the people of Africa aren't sincere, but rather that one must be aware of the cultural norms which exist in order to best find the "good ground" in the field.
Finally, Brother Jonathon Elliott, Jeff Elliot and I intend to arrive in Ghana on June 28th and will be there approximately two weeks. During this time we will hold a three day Minister's Conference which will introduce the Gold Coast Minister's Curriculum to the brethren. As a fund, we desire to provide each minister with a curriculum notebook (approximately $15), miscellaneous office supplies ($3), meals for three days (unknown cost), and a small stipend for their time (between $25-$50). Our target audience are the younger minister's in Ghana, though some deacons and Sunday School teachers from the churches and missions will also be present. Please pray that God will provide the financial resources available for us to hold this meeting.
Following our three day minister's conference, we are praying about where our efforts should be directed. My heart has always been burdened for people who have never been exposed to the Gospel message and it would be a wonderful blessing if God would direct our steps to these people. Pray that God would direct our steps and that the doors of opportunity would open to, "Make His name great among the nations." As always, if you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment under the Contact tab.
God Bless,
Bradley S. Hicks

The weather has been glorious lately and visiting a garden seems to be perfect. On Saturday afternoon I visited Pardee Rose Garden because I know the irises are blooming everywhere and I'm pretty sure there will be some there. When I got to the garden, I saw the row of irises beautifully lining up on the outer side of the fence. It seemed like a party was happening in the garden by looking at the many colors the irises showed. Perhaps that's what made Vincent van Gogh painted the Irises before he died. He captured the irises' details intimately and created a stunning perception. I can't paint as good as van Gogh, but I tried to capture the details I saw from the irises in the Pardee Rose Garden through my camera. Please, enjoy!
My Favorite Things
The Little Adorable Shop on Boston Post Road
Hi all! It's been a while. I wish you're all well. I've been meaning to keep up writing a journal here, nevertheless, so many things happened and I got caught up with them. I was very ill for more than 2 months, started with the worst kind of flu that turned into a complication of pneumonia. I'm recuperating now, although having been very ill meant that my body is still not up to 100% yet. I'd like to start by sharing this cute shop that I happened to come by on the way to Hammonasset Beach in Madison, Connecticut, last summer. Hammonasset Beach is a state park with the largest shoreline park of over 2 miles of beach on Long Island Sound. The beach is beautiful and now that the weather feels like it's summer already, is going to be a perfect destination on the weekend.
The shop is called THE LITTLE STATION SHOP, which is also an office for the Beach Tree Cottages. It is a brilliant idea to set up the shop because anyone who wants to rent a cottage will go by the shop and see what they offer. At that time, my family and I were on the way to the beach and saw that the store offered some lemonade, our favorite. It's a soft frozen lemonade called Del's. If you see one of the cart or shop that sells this brand, you should try some. It's good. So after we spent our relaxing time on the beach, on the way returning home, we stopped by to have some lemonade and browsed the shop a bit.
The shop is a re-purposed garage basically. There's a metal sculpture horse standing in front of the shop. The artist who created was the cottage owner, that's what I thought from the sign on the horse. The shop displayed their merchandises on vintage shelves and all around were vintage toys decorating a small yard next to the shop. There was a seating area for the guests and we enjoyed our lemonade there. The Little Station Shop offered cute and wonderful stationary, beautiful jewelries, artisan soaps, etc. I was only browsing the merchandise and admiring them. The thing that I love the most was the shop and decorations. It is cute, with adorable set up. Some fabric buntings adorned the the tree and the shop. The surrounding was pretty peaceful and with the invitation to go to the beach close by, it's a perfect little shop indeed.

Teens who have tried a non-cigarette tobacco product are twice as likely to try conventional cigarettes a year later than those who haven't, according to a new study.
Researchers found that any use of e-cigarettes, hookah, non-cigarette combustible tobacco or smokeless tobacco in one year doubled the chance that youths smoked cigarettes the following year. The results were adjusted for factors like sociodemographic and environmental smoking risk. Using multiple products further increased the odds.
The study, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics from researchers at the University of California San Francisco's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, comes amid a growing debate around e-cigarettes. The products are often marketed as a way for adult smokers to quit conventional cigarettes but are becoming increasingly popular among teens.
Despite the buzz around e-cigarettes, researchers stress that all products they studied increased the chance kids smoked conventional cigarettes. Therefore, they recommend regulating them together and extending to them prevention tactics like pack size requirements and flavor restrictions.
"We have a public rhetoric around e-cigarettes that's really strong, but we should be thinking about other products," said Shannon Lea Watkins, one of the study's authors and a postdoctoral scholar at the UCSF's Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education.
The findings should also extend discussions around regulating non-cigarette tobacco products to include the risk they pose of leading adolescents to smoke cigarettes rather than only the harm the individual products may present, Watkins said.
Researchers used data from the National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration's Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health to track the responses of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 from 2013 to 2015.
The study is believed to be the first to analyze all non-cigarette tobacco products. Others have focused on specific categories like e-cigarettes.
"I'm perhaps surprised about how similar the relationships were for each product across the board," Watkins said. "I'm not surprised about the relationship, but the fact that we sliced this in as many ways as we could think of with all the methodological concerns folks had, no matter how we run the model, the results hold."
