  • Elizabeth G. Fernandez, PhD

    George Rebane Our granddaughter Elizabeth received her PhD last Friday after seven years of research at the Department of Oncology of UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine.  She is one of the school’s research stars having developed a ground-breaking method for treating glioblastoma patients.  Glioblastoma is the most virulent and deadly form of brain cancer that…

  • Christmas – 2024

    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. - Matthew 1:23 George Rebane Another year of healing and growth for our family with two more great-grandkiddies on the way.  Thankfully, we are again celebrating Christ’s birth with…

  • Thanksgiving 2024

    George Rebane Given the outcome of the last election, at least half of the country has a lot to be thankful for.  The other half will feel the same a year from now.  Nevertheless, each of us within the bosom of our families should take the time to give thanks for the gifts we have…

We Americans are devoted to political polling results to tell us who or what is preferred by whom here and there. But very few of us know the nature of the…

  • STEM education and careers – not for everyone

    George Rebane Our socially destructive culture has long done a number on students with the extraordinary capacity to study and make it in STEM careers.  Part of the socialist agenda for the US is to impress in the population a belief that we are fundamentally all equal, with all of us capable of anything as…

  • Square Root Algo (more added)

    George Rebane Regular RR readers know of my interest in numeracy and promoting the practice of mental math to derive usable approximations without the use of calculators.  I argue that such skills are required by educated lay people so that they can quickly understand and vet claims made by politicians and pundits that involve the…

  • Happy Independence Day – 2024

    George Rebane ‘Nuff said.

  • KVMR Interview

    George Rebane I was recently invited to be interviewed on KVMR’s ‘The Sages Among Us’ program by its co-host Keith Porter.  This program has been regular fare on our local FM station for several years.  Readers may recall that I also had a regular commentary on that station for almost 14 years.  Keith is an…
