Blowing the Whistle, Food Safety Expert Knew About GMO Dangers Years Ago
*YouTube - ornpatricktimpone*
Dr. Arpad Pusztai evoked worldwide media attention in August 1998, when he
said in British TV that he would not eat genetically engineered food
because of the insufficient testing procedures they have undergone.
Pusztai is a world renowned expert on food safety, who worked at UK's
leading food safety research lab, the Rowett institute. His statement
obviously threatened to damage the then ongoing multimillion PR campaign of
the Biotech industry to create public confidence in GE foods. A few days

Scientists Warn Geo-Engineering Can Kill Billions of People
Cassandra Anderson, *Contributor*
Geo-engineering is an umbrella term for deliberate climate intervention
that includes spraying the sky with aerosols to reflect solar radiation
away from Earth in order to cool the planet and to save the environment and
humanity from the effects of supposedly man-made global warming. There is
evidence that this program has already been implemented for many years
using unidentified chemical aerosols, known as chemtrails.

Stuckism show in London turns eyes
*Stuckism* was founded by Charles Thomson and Billy Childish in 1999 with
12 artists to promote contemporary figurative painting and oppose
conceptual art. It has since grown to an international art movement of 233
groups in 52 countries. The name was coined after Childish’s ex-girlfriend,
Tracey Emin, said he was “Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!” The concept struck, the
Stuckism movement brought forth several Stuckist manifestos in an effort to
draw other artists to their cause, including one where the term "Remodernism"
was coined.

Higgs: living near the cliff of instability
Jester posted an interesting text on the instability of the Higgs field:
What's the deal with vacuum stability?
Of course, this topic has been covered many times on this blog, including
on July 3rd and July 17th this year, but it's interesting to read Jester's
twists on the story, anyway.
First, given the current best estimates of the top quark mass and the Higgs
mass (other parameters don't matter too much), the quartic (=fourth power)
coupling describing the Higgs self-interaction \(|H|^4\) almost certainly
goes negative beneath the Planck scale.

A Huge Breakthrough for Renewable Energy
One serious drawback of some forms of renewable energy, such as wind or
tidal power, has been that they don't conform to peak market demand. Some
are intermittent, some work best at off-peak, low-demand hours. What's
been missing is a viable means of storing surplus renewable energyproduction.
A Brit engineer seems to have come up with a solution, liquid air, that is
nearly as efficient as conventional battery technology. Water vapour and
oxygen are removed from the air. The remaining nitrogen is then
