Lawyer Gareth Peirce told Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London that Assange was “not very well.” The United States is pursuing a range of criminal charges against Assange, including a violation of the Espionage Act. WikiLeaks said in a statement that […]
Irving Wolfe: Introduction to Velikovsky’s Ideas Dr. Irving Wolfe will review Immanuel Velikovsky’s contributions to a broad-ranging discourse in the sciences. Why did Velikovsky’s best-selling Worlds in Collision provoke one of most heated scientific controversies of the 20th century? Why did the gatekeepers of “acceptable” theory feel compelled to mobilize a boycott of the original publisher? And is it possible that Velikovsky’s own perspective on cultural amnesia can help us understand the reactions to his work? Modeling his analysis on […]
John Lautner, FAIA (1911-1994) John Lautner was one of the most important American architects of the twentieth century, and perhaps one of the most misunderstood. His career spanned fifty-five years and left an indelible mark on the built environment of Southern California. Lautner was born in 1911 and raised in Marquette, Michigan. His remarkable natural surroundings made a deep and lifelong impression. He had his first building experience at the age of twelve, when he helped his father construct a […]
A Role for Endogenous Electric Fields in Wound Healing RichardNuccitelli This review focuses on the experimental evidence supporting a role for endogenous electric fields in wound healing in vertebrates. Most wounds involve the disruption of epithelial layers composing the epidermis or surrounding organs in the body. These epithelia generate a steady voltage across themselves that will drive an injury current out of the wounded region, generating a lateral electric field that has been measured in four different cases to be […]
It’s not a shock: Better bandage promotes powerful healing Materials science and engineering professor Xudong Wang fits a new wound dressing around the wrist of graduate student Yin Long. The device stimulates healing using electricity generated from the body’s natural motions. Photo by Sam Million-Weaver A new, low-cost wound dressing developed by University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers could dramatically speed up healing in a surprising way. The method leverages energy generated from a patient’s own body motions to apply gentle electrical […]
dancer: TALIYA BRIANNA cinematography|edit|direction|concept: KEATH I wanted it to feel like a music box. This choreography was for her college admission audition. the actual piece is more fully developed/performed than what we did here. We were sketching trying to develop a vernacular that fuses her movement with film/video. it was difficult performing in the sand with her footing…but i was really happy with the footage and more importantly just being out there filming with the sisters and mom. it was […]

The criminalization of science whistleblowers: A mind-blowing interview with Judy Mikovits, PhD by: Mike Adams In one of the most shocking science videos you’ll see this year, molecular biologist Judy A. Mikovits, PhD, reveals the disturbing true story of how she was thrown in prison for blowing the whistle on deadly viral contamination of human vaccines. With a well established history of working for the National Cancer Institute as a cancer research, Dr. Mikovits worked with human retroviruses like HIV. […]
Rich is a car enthusiast whose passion is to find wrecked Teslas, bring them back to life, and then share his repair adventures on his YouTube channel Rich Rebuilds. When he found out that Tesla would not service or support his salvaged cars, he took it upon himself to scour the internet and harvest working parts from several busted Teslas. He Frankensteined them together until his creations were fully operational, at a fraction of what it would cost to buy […]
