How to induce a miscarriage herbally (and safely)
I have a disability that often keeps me away from this post (and just about everything else) for days and sometimes weeks at a time so I cannot guarantee you a timely answer to your question, but I have noticed that A LOT of the questions asked have been covered either in this post or in the comments.

Understanding Evolution
The bacteria that changed the world - May, 2017 The make-up of Earth's atmosphere, once the domain of Earth science textbooks, has become an increasingly "hot" news topic in recent decades, as we struggle to curb global warming by limiting the carbon dioxide that human activity produces. While the changes that humanity has wrought on the planet are dramatic, this isn’t the first time that one species has changed Earth’s atmosphere. Three billion years ago, there was no free oxygen in the atmosphere at all. Read the rest of the story here | See the Evo in the News archive

Oldest Known Flowering Plants Identified By Genes
Oldest Known Flowering Plants Identified By Genes By William J. Cromie Gazette Staff It’s a nondescript shrub with small, unimpressive flowers, and it’s found in only one place in the world – New Caledonia, a minor tropical island in a remote corner of the southwest Pacific. Called Amborella, the plant is the one remaining species of a lineage that first appeared on Earth more than 140 million years ago, while dinosaurs still ruled the planet. Mathews and Donoghue’s analysis revealed that another early branch includes Austrobaileya, a group represented by one species found only in Australia, and by the more common star anise, which boasts bright red, saucer-shaped flowers. Tracing flowering plants back so close to their roots ranks as one of the major botanical discoveries of this century. Copyright 1999 President and Fellows of Harvard College

Drift Seeds and Drift Fruits
Imagine yourself floating helplessly on the open sea, thousands of miles from land, your destination at the mercy of the wind and currents. Perhaps eventually you may drift ashore on the coral sand beaches of a remote tropical island or distant continent. This is precisely what happens to countless thousands of tropical drift seeds and fruits, a remarkable flotilla of flowering plants that travel the oceans of the world. Seeds provide the vital genetic link and primary dispersal agent between successive generations of plants. The tropical islands of Indonesia, Polynesia and the Caribbean probably have the greatest variety of drift seeds. Charles Darwin & Ocean Dispersal Of Seeds Plant dispersal by ocean currents has fascinated many famous explorers, including Charles Darwin and Thor Heyerdahl. During his famous voyage around the world on the H.M.S. After he returned to England, Darwin conducted flotation experiments with cultivated plants. The Hawaiian Silver Sword Nickernuts The Coconut
Personal Lunar Fertility Contraception Guide
Most women watch their cycles and know that their mid cycle or biological ovulation is the prime time to fall pregnant in. What they don't know is that the moon can trigger ovulation and bring on fertililty at any time during the menstrual cycle - including before, during and just after your period. Not knowing this vital piece of fertility information can put women at risk of unwanted pregnancy even though they may be using effective contraception at what they think is their most fertile time. This phenomena is called the natal lunar fertile phase. Francesa Naish from her book The Lunar Cycle page 19 - 20 tells us "Over and over in clinical use of the lunar phase cycle instances have occurred where this cycle seemingly explains otherwise puzzling phenomena. Many women feel sure they know when they have conceived, only to be told by doctors that they are mistaken. Many women feel sure that they know when they ovulate, have regular cycles, and yet have conceived against their wishes.
