A00004 - The 100 Greatest Muslims

In light of my previous post regarding Abdul Qadeer Khan, I have revised my list of the 100 Greatest Muslims to place Abdul Qadeer Khan at number 71, immediately after the name of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of the nation of Pakistan.

A00173 - The 'Spiritual Wonder" of Van Gogh's Starry Night

  My "This Day in Science" calendar for Wednesday, July 12, reports: "2016: Scientists recreate  The Starry Night  with genetic material "Scientists from the California Institute of Technology demonstrated the ability to precisely fold and arrange genetic material in a very artistic way -- by replicating a dime-width version of Vincent van Gogh's painting  The Starry Night .  Scientists stuck over 65,000 photonic crystal "lamps" filled with fluorescent molecules to the DNA scaffold.  Though entertaining, the artistic process also represented a serious step forward in precision manipulation of genetic material, which researchers say is essential for microscale manipulation of genetic constructs for drug delivery improvements and other uses." Here is a link to the article announcing the accomplishment: Scientists recreate Van Gogh's Starry Night with fluorescent DNA | Science | AAAS Reading this Day in Science post brought to mind the most start...

A00370 - 2024 Jenkins Family Update

2024 was a year of significant highlights.  However, the theme for the year just might be "The Year of Reconciliation" or put another way, "The Return of Sparkle." My Music: A00019 - Irene Cara, R. I. P. The year of events began with my return to the Philippines and by spending Martin Luther King's Birthday (January 15) on Siargao Island.  Siargao is known for its surfing and, while I do not surf, I made a special point of visiting the surfing Mecca known as Cloud Nine just to be grateful for being "Free at Last".  My Music: A00061 - Cloud 9 on MLK Day Later on, I spent some quiet time on the beach of the Siargao Beach Club where I had a nice conversation with God.  A00229 - A Day at the Beach with God I do not think that God is done with me yet. February 2 was a major life altering event.  The family dog, Bentley, passed away.  My Music: A00062 - The Soul of Bentley and The Colors of the Wind Bentley was more than a companion; he was a soulful counsel...

A00244 - Fatima Bernawi, The First Female Palestinian Resistance Organizer

  March is Women's History Month Women's History Month - Wikipedia and on March 11, Ramadan began Ramadan (calendar month) - Wikipedia Ramadan was the time when it was hoped that the Israel-Hamas War would be paused for humanitarian reasons  Israel–Hamas war - Wikipedia but it was not.  In a previous email (see below), I discuss the legacy of the 1948 Deir Yassin Massacre which gave rise to the Nakba. Sadly, the 75th-year anniversary of the Nakba has predictably proven to be woefully tragic. As a student of history, I sense that the result of this latest episode of the Nakba will not bring peace but will produce a generation of young Palestinians who are committed to resist. One example of such historical resistance fighters created by the Nakba was Fatima Bernawi    Fatima Bernawi - Wikipedia I encourage everyone to become aware of her story.  I found it intriguing not just because she was the first Palestinian woman to organize a resistance attack in Isra...
