Research Shows Plants Are Sentient. Will We Act Accordingly? Research continues to verify the intelligence of plants. If we begin to regard them as sentient beings, will our treatment of them improve? ©John T. Andrews Animal advocates and wildlife enthusiasts like you and me are always excited when new research comes out demonstrating the intelligence of the “others” among us; for example, how crows solve problems or whales have complex cultures. But when we cross over into the area of plant intelligence, well, it often sounds a bit too New Agey for most of us. A recent spate of studies, however, is proving that plants have volition, show altruism and understand kinship much like many animal species. Moving and mental ability Forests provide the oxygen we breathe and the majority of medicines in use today. Four years ago, in 2011, I wrote an article about the intelligent behavior of trees. In the years since, however, a number of new studies are continuing to show that plants are smarter than we think. Doing the math Candy

7 Things We Can All Learn from the Music and Life of John Lennon by Lori Chandler On December 8, 1980, John Winston Lennon was gunned down outside his apartment building, the Dakota, in New York City. His assailant, whose name does not bear repeating, shot Lennon five times with a .38 caliber revolver. Since Lennon’s death, 1.15 million people have died from gun violence in the United States. But the ending isn't the story. 1967 “With A Little Help From My Friends”/Sgt. While this song was sung by Ringo Starr, it was written by Lennon. 1969 Bed-In For Peace Lennon and wife Yoko Ono famously spent their honeymoon protesting the Vietnam War from their bed at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel. 1970 “God”/Plastic Ono Band “I don’t believe in Beatles; I just believe in me/Yoko and Me/And that’s reality.” In this song, Lennon talks about all of the concepts he doesn’t believe in (religious and otherwise). 1971 “Imagine” and “Gimme Some Truth”/Imagine The title track on this album is the most well-known (and for good reason). 1970 “Instant Karma!”

When Donald Trump's words scared this Muslim girl, these Army vets responded perfectly. When Melissa Chance Yassini came home from work on Dec. 8, she found her daughter Sofia in tears.

Sofia had been watching the news with her grandmother, when she heard about Donald Trump's call to deport refugees and ban Muslims from entering America. "She ran to me with a look of absolute fear on her face," Melissa told Upworthy. Sofia, who is 8 years old, was convinced that Trump wanted to kick her and her family, who are Muslim — and American citizens — out of the country. "It was the first time that it really drove home to me that we’re in a dangerous place right now," Melissa said. Melissa stayed up most of the night comforting and reassuring her daughter. The post caught the eye of Kerri Peek, an Army veteran from Colorado, who responded to Melissa a few days later. "Salamalakum Melissa!" Photo by Kerri Peek/Facebook. "It bothered me all night. "Calling all vets.

There's a Word for That: 25 Expressions You Should Have in Your Vocabulary Recently I came across this amazing little Tumblr named ‘OtherWordly‘ – itself a play on words. It consists of a collection of strange and lovely words from different languages through different times. What I like most about this selection of consonants and vowels – little meaning-carrying packages of vibration – is that they all try to point to the unspeakable, the transient or the neglected. That which we forget in the busyness of our daily grind. Words have the power to remind us – and therefore we should choose our words carefully so we are reminded of the things that nourish our souls. You can find my favourite words below – pick five that resonate most, write them down, yes seriously – go grab a pen -, make sure to learn them by heart, teach them to your inner voice and share them with others to guide our collective attention to what truly matters. 1 – Sophrosyne 2 – Vorfreude pronunciation | ‘for-froi-duh 3 – Numinous 4 – Nemophilist pronunciation | ne-‘mo-fe-list 5 – Sillage

My Father, the Philosopher If the bed was here, if I touched it, lay down in it, walked away and came back, then it existed. If it existed, then when I left for school and came back, it would still be there. If it was there today, then it would be there tomorrow. I touched the objects in the house. My father smiled, pleased. Descartes's bad dream. “Think about your first premise.” “My first what?” “Your first premise. If your father is a philosopher, then you should expect to lose many arguments. For my friends and me, the best seats in my family’s station wagon were in the way-back. But Adrianne and Christy widened their eyes when they asked him. I hated those faces. "Of course," my father said when they asked. "NO Way!" "Who's going to sit back there if they don't?" "Nobody." "And where are you going to sit no matter where they sit?" "In the front." "So how is it not fair? But my situation would be worsened. "Adrianne. And so I learned utilitarianism. My father's philosopher friend Paul came over. No, he explained.
