IMPACT 09/22/2018 05:00 am ET Factory farming risks pushing us into a post-antibiotic world, but consumers are demanding change. By Tom Levitt Kate Morgan had not intended to get involved in her family’s pig farm in Yorkshire in the northeast of England. But, returning home after growing bored of her office job, the 34-year-old became determined to help seek new opportunities for the farm business her parents had started from scratch in the mid-1990s. That opportunity came three years ago when the family was approached by a pork processor looking for antibiotic-free meat to sell to a growing customer base in the U.S. The farm’s commitment to pig health ― and therefore fewer illnesses among its animals ― meant it already minimized its use of antibiotics, so, with the help of a premium for the drug-free pork, they eliminated them altogether from the 1,200 breeding pigs they rear outdoors. All the antibiotic-free pigs are sold to Karro Foods and … [Read more...] about The War On Drugs — In Your Bacon

Pakistan needs to get over the 2017 Champions Trophy high, because tomorrow won’t be easy
By Abdul Basit Sayeed Published: September 22, 2018 0 SHARES Share Tweet Email In the game with India, Pakistan needs to be very smart with their game plan. The proverb “cricket – the game of glorious uncertainties” is probably taken way too seriously by Pakistan. Before the start of the Asia Cup, many cricket pundits were deeming Pakistan as their favourites. But thus far, it has been a story of tremendous crests and troughs as far as the graph of Pakistan team’s performance is concerned. Apart from the game against Hong Kong, the men in green shirts have found themselves in all sorts of trouble. Against India, intent was missing altogether. Indian fielders, making their own blunders, were aiding Pakistan as they dropped five catches in the outfield. Despite this, the Pakistani team was all out on 162. Sadly, there was nothing spectacular to discuss about the game. Pakistan probably needed that defeat to come out of the post-Champions Trophy … [Read more...] about Pakistan needs to get over the 2017 Champions Trophy high, because tomorrow won’t be easy

Heartbreaking moment girl, 12, clings onto her sister’s hand before dying from quad bike crash injuries that left sibling, 14, critical
THIS is the tragic final picture of a 12-year-old girl grasping onto her sister's hand shortly before she succumbed to her injuries from a quad bike crash. Riley Robinson suffered horrid injuries when she lost control of the vehicle and smashed it into a tree on her grandmother's property in Michigan with her sister Peyton, 14, on the back. The image of them lying side by side in hospital, covered in casts and bruises from the crash, was taken just hours before Riley passed away last month. Her family remembered her as "very caring" and even in death, her organs went to save the lives of six children she did not know. Her dad Larry said: "I think the hardest thing we did was signing the paper for organ donation. "I don't get our daughter back but there are six families that get a little more time to spend with their love ones. "Life as you know it can be over in a blink of an eye... She [Riley] was the life of the party. Trusting, very caring." Riley lost control on rough terrain … [Read more...] about Heartbreaking moment girl, 12, clings onto her sister’s hand before dying from quad bike crash injuries that left sibling, 14, critical
