Are essential oils just as good and less damaging than antibiotics used widely in animals? Maybe here is a solution…
Essential Oils Might Be the New Antibiotics
Researchers have directly compared the effects of commonly used antibiotics with those of various essential oils. One such study, from the March 2012 issue of the Journal of Animal Science, found that rosemary and oregano oils resulted in the same amount of growth in chickens as the antibiotic avilamycin, and that the oils killed bacteria, too. Additional findings have shown that essential oils help reduce salmonella in chickens, and another study found that a blend of several oils can limit the spread of salmonella among animals.
The Congress has become so fundamentally degraded we are beginning to see whistleblowers telling us the suppressed truth. This is the state of American democracy, and it is not a happy story. Not particularly his first point, that Congresspersons are not out of touch with the people that elect them. Ultimately in a democracy people get the kind of government they vote for.

Trust Chain: Low (Media), Medium (Search Engines), High (Human)
It is only a matter of time before trusted aggregators and human curators will become the main sources of reliable information for most people. In fact, the January release of the 2015 Edelman Trust Barometer shows that for the first time ever, the informed public trusts more search engines – aka Google – than traditional news and media outlets. Even more interesting is the fact that “Seventy-two percent trust information posted by friends and family on social media, blogs and other digital sites, while 70 percent trust content posted by academic experts.” as it highlights the fact that Google and search engines may be only an intermediary step in the journey toward a news ecosystem that will see trusted human editors, experts and curators for individual subjects who aggregate and curate content from multiple sources as the key reference points for news. This is must-read data for anyone interested in seeing where the future of news and search are headed. Enlightening data. 9/10
The Arrival of the Network Armies
The Effect on Public Policy And Marketing
Industry and government in the United States are addressing the task of dealing with ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) and its primary attribute, the Internet. The power of the Internet as a communications and marketing tool has become recognized as mission critical and is causing upheavals and reengineering throughout most industrial sectors and government agencies. This document presents a look at the decentralized phenomena known as Network Armies and proposes that a focus from the perspective of various user groups, along with the use of methodologies such as Cybernetics, will yield new and unimagined benefits in marketing and communications, new potential for private ownership of data, and a new paradigm of individual control in communications and marketing. Implementation of the ideas posited will result in substantive public policy considerations and will create a new sector on the Internet (C2B), with related political and monetary issues.

GOOD: This is some wonderful news. The process is still not complete but the right decision appears imminent. Tele-communications are going to be seen as public utilities, equally open to all. There is still a vote to go, so it wouldn't hurt to write the FCC once again and tell them you support Chairman Wheeler's draft.
The head of the FCC just proposed the strongest net neutrality rules ever
BAD: This is why FCC Chairman Wheeler's plan is so important. Left to their own devices tele-communications companies would strip you down to you skives.
