This came into my mail box, just after I had sent my N’Year news letter. I just HAD to post it. My dear Jack (a biologist of some repute) was sitting next to me as we watched and listened. We were both chastened and dumbstruck! Have you ever heard any one reversing their Multiple Sclerosis? [...]

This article came to my notice recently. It highlights that, even in this so-called ‘advanced’ country, we can come up against fear and mistrust of so-called ‘ethnic minorities’. Here we have a Jewish Rabbi writing passionately about the plight of a Gypsy (Traveller’s) community. It would be interesting to hear your comments. As is so [...]

Words, for obvious reasons, often seem inadequate when trying to write about ‘what-cannot-be-spoken’. For me, Arthur Sze manages it quite beautifully. 1. Is it in the anthracite face of a coal miner, crystallized in the veins and lungs of a steel worker, pulverized in the grimy hands of a railroad engineer? Is it in a [...]

These incredible shots are taken mostly from the inside of a barrell!
Waimea Bay shore-break surfing pioneer, husband, and father of two, Clark Little has gained nationwide recognition for his photography on National Television. It all started in 2007 when Clark’s wife wanted a nice piece of art to decorate a wall. Voluntarily, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the water, and starting snapping away capturing the beauty and power of monstrous Hawaiian waves from the inside out.
