Hollywood favorite Christopher Walken will be starring in a new film called “Percy” which tells the true story of an independent canola farmer from Canada named Percy Schmeiser, who fought a lengthy legal battle against the bio-agriculture giant Monsanto.
In 1996, Canada became one of the first countries in the world to begin using genetically modified seeds commercially. A large portion of these seeds were Monsanto’s “Roundup Ready” seeds, which are genetically engineered to withstand the company’s herbicide, Roundup. As we now know, Glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Roundup, causes cancer, but this would not be revealed until many years later, when other farmers took the company to court and won after getting cancer from Glyphosate expsoure.
Percy’s story, on the other hand, is about how these Roundup Ready seeds are patentend by Monsanto, which has allowed them to take farmers to court for something as simple as saving seeds. Percy had been saving seeds for most of his career in farming, in fact, it is a common practice among farmers around the world.
However, Monsanto’s terms of service dont allow farmers to replant seeds from prevous years, they need to buy new batches each year from the company, or else they could end up facing lawsuits. Percy never bought any seeds from Monsanto, but he had a habbit of collecting unused seeds from his farm for later use.
For some reason, a few of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready seeds ended up on hs property, and he collected them without realizing the difference and ended up planting them the following year. Monsanto then sued Percy for patent infringement in 1998, after the company took samples from his fields and found that he was using Monsanto’s patented seeds.
Monsanto won the initial trial, but Percy appealed, and in each case, the judge ruled that Monsanto’s seeds needed to be treated as other patented products. When the case was finally taken to the Supreme Court, they also ruled in favor of Monsanto, upholding the dangerous precedent that Monsanto could sue farmers over use of patented seeds. However, the court also ruled that Percy didn’t have to pay them anything, because he technically never agreed to their terms of service since he was not actually a Monsanto customer and only obtained the seeds by mistake.
In 2010 Percy told Democracy Now! that Monsanto attempted to ruin his life for fighting the case.
“They tried to seize all our farmland, our farm equipment, so they could stop us, because we were using mortgages on our farmland to pay for our legal bills,” he said.

We have all heard about the stairway to heaven. Now, we bring you a bridge in the sky. Yes, you heard it correctly. The SkyWalk bridge gives you breathtaking views of the smoky mountains in Tennessee.
The best part about this SkyWalk bridge is that it’s accessible to non-hikers as well. We all want to get a bird’s eye view, but do we really want to hike up a mountain? Some of us might not be in a suitable health condition to do that. This is why Tennessee’s SkyBridge is so special.
The SkyWalk Bridge is located in South Eastern America. It oversees the Smoky Mountains, which is a part of the Appalachian Mountains. It has a rich history of indigenous settlement, specifically the Paleo tribe.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established in the year 1934 and is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is one of the most popular parks in America, and it protects a majority of the Smoky Mountain range. Furthermore, the park boasts around 187,000 acres of luscious forest. And, it also comes under the International Biosphere Reserve.
Great Smoky Mountains Settler History
Around the year 1800, Martha Jane Huskey Ogle, the region’s first settler, moved here with her 7 children. The first cabin built in the region was called White Oaks Flats. Gradually, the area saw more Revolutionary War veteran settlers, who had moved away from North Caroline. These are the tiny historical facts you can think of when you walk through the SkyWalk Bridge.

For many of us, a good strong cup of coffee before breakfast is the only way we know how to kickstart a brand new day.
But we may need to reconsider our habits after a study has suggested that those caffeine fixes could cause health issues.
Specifically, scientists at the University of Bath have been looking at the combination of a poor night’s sleep and a coffee first thing on waking up.
And the study results suggest that this could adversely affect one’s metabolism and blood sugar levels.
The researchers also found that waiting until after breakfast to drink your coffee significantly improves the body’s ability to break down food.
Fluctuating sugar levels can result in a negative effect on blood glucose control. This can potentially increase the chances of heart disease as well as diabetes.
The experiments were conducted on 29 healthy men and women, who undertook three different scenarios.
The first two situations involved the participants being given a sugary drink upon awaking – both after a normal night’s sleep and also after being disrupted by being woken up for five minutes every hour.
First eat breakfast, then indulge in coffee
The sugary drink represented the same calorie intake as a standard breakfast. In the third experiment, participants were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before being given the sugary drink, after a poor night’s sleep.

For this ‘smell-by’ label, Too Good To Go collaborated with Dariush Alavi. He is the world’s first professional S’mellier with exquisite smelling powers. He used his unique abilities to work and develop this sticker.
Co-founder of the company, Jamie Crummie says: “Our mission is to help everyone fight food waste together. We want labelling to be clearer across the board, but also to help consumers better understand when they really must throw food away – and these “smell by” labels are a vital part of that journey.”
The company plans on working with shop retailers to help the stickers reach the common public. If you want to try the ‘smell-by’ label now, you can order it from their website directly.
