Global climate change will increase in frequency and intensity as we approach the ‘last days’. This is Part 4 of an article series which takes a look at currency events in relationship to biblical prophecy to explain why America may never recover from the current recession.

Don't Criticise or We'll Sue - (USA)
My friend David Allen Green has an opinion piece in the New Scientist on the BCA versus Simon Singh case. This case reflects the problems of English Libel Law and its unjust "reverse burden of proof" requirement. Such a law is entirely entirely antithetical to freedom of speech. The issue of freedom of speech only occurs if someone does not like what is being said, usually about them or someone they feel affiliated with and wish to defend. If no-one had any such issues then there would be no

Letter to the editor on climate story - Russ Walker and David Roberts - Politico.com ... it is simply false to point to a "growing accumulation" of evidence rendering basic climate science "shaky." There is no such accumulation; there is no such science. If there were, perhaps the author would have cited some of it — it is telling that she did not. Instead, she relies on the work of Joseph D'Aleo, a meteorologist (meteorology is the study of weather, not climate). D'Aleo's lack of qualification

Consciousness, universalism, and Dos Esquis - (USA)
Ljubljana, Slovenia (photo from trekearth.com) I have been trying to post on my latest revisions concerning consciousness, but between Blogger, Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer 8 it has been a disaster.

“Absurdities” as genre markers - (USA)
Way back in May 2008, John Hobbins posted a link to a Templeton Foundation “conversation” on the question, “Does science make belief in God obsolete?” I’m just now getting around to reading those essays—shows you how far behind I am. I have no intention of giving a thorough review or response to each essay, but in the very first essay, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker pushed one of my “hot buttons.” Pinker wrote: Start with the origin of the world.

2-Log DNA Ladder (0.1?10.0 kb)(N3200), DNA Markers/Ladders, NEB - (USA)
A number of proprietary plasmids are digested to completion with appropriate restriction enzymes to yield 19 bands suitable for use as molecular weight standards for agarose gel electrophoresis. This digested DNA includes fragments ranging from 100 bp to 10 kb. The 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 kb bands have increased intensity to serve as reference points. The approximate mass of DNA in each of the bands is provided (assuming a 1.0 μg load) for approximating the mass of DNA in comparably intense samples of similar size.
