Tsetse fly females produce one fully formed larva each 10 days. The white larva starts to pupate within a few minutes and soon changes colour through brown to almost black. (Entomology Unit, Seibersdorf, Austria, 2 June 2006)

The Mattson cooker measures the time it takes for beans to cook. This research is screening beans that cook faster -
the ones that cook fastest will be selected for releasing for farmers. CIAT’s bean genebank at Kawanda research station, Uganda, receives new varieties from Colombia and safeguards beans across Africa. Researchers use the beans to breed more resilient varieties which are not only more drought and heat tolerant, but also more resistant to harmful pests and diseases, protecting the important bean staple.

Matthew 11:5 - Blind people see again, lame people are walking, those with skin diseases are made clean, deaf people hear again, dead people are brought back to life, and poor people hear the Good News.
With genetic engineering and all, the first things will happen soon enough all right, but my guess is that the poor people are not gonna hear any good news for a long time now ...

False Shiva (aka “Monsanto Man” ) appears benevolent, hiding behind a beloved Shiva mask, his stance and multiple arms a poor imitation of the real Shiva. He is surrounded by dead and dying leaves, and a gold lasso to “Round Up” his victims, which include GM Corn, Soy, Rice and Beets. He holds in his hands a poison apple, a leafy noose with the bodies of hanging Indian suicide farmers, and a Wall Street Journal, which is also his dhoti. He stands victorious in his “merciless” Nike golf shoes, on the body of Mother Earth, whose basket of fresh fruit is scattered. He has no heart.
Yeah yeah, I know it’s bleak, but a lot of religious kitsch is pretty bleak too!
This is the second in a series of “Corporate Icons” I am working on – icons for a new and dismal age of rule by Corporate Demons.
So far I have used Byzantine and Hindu religious kitsch as inspiration – look for Western medieval and Persian illuminated manuscripts for the next ones.
