Archeologe Mieke Zilverberg, die van begin
af aan het team van Kunst & Kitsch ondersteunt, vertelt over een gegraveerde
gouden schijf die zij onder ogen kreeg in 1990. De schijf werd destijds door een man in
Den Haag aangekocht en bevond zich in een klomp lakwas. De herkomst is onbekend en het
schrift kan tot op heden door niemand worden ontcijferd. Uiteindelijk is het voorwerp in
handen gekomen van NASA, maar ook zij konden er niets mee, volgens Zilverberg.
Wetenschappers wereldwijd kunnen niets anders concluderen dan dat het object van
buitenaardse oorsprong moet zijn...
Full of incredible characters, amazing
athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, and, most of all, pure inspiration, Born to
Run is an epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? In
search of an answer, Christopher McDougall sets off to find a tribe of the world's
greatest distance runners and learn their secrets, and in the process shows us that
everything we thought we knew about running is wrong. Isolated by the most savage terrain
in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons are
custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to
run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic
marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny
health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara immune to the diseases and strife that plague
modern existence. With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner who lives among the
tribe, the author was able not only to uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara but also to
find his own inner ultra-athlete, as he trained for the challenge of a lifetime: a
fifty-mile race through the heart of Tarahumara country pitting the tribe against an odd
band of Americans, including a star ultramarathoner, a beautiful young surfer, and a
barefoot wonder. With a sharp wit and wild exuberance, McDougall takes us from the
high-tech science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North
America, where ever-growing numbers of ultrarunners are pushing their bodies to the limit,
and, finally, to the climactic race in the Copper Canyons. Born to Run is that rare book
that will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that the secret
to happiness is right at your feet, and that you, indeed all of us, were born to run.

The Jump a documentary by Kim
Ingles
Earth is facing its single largest mass
extinction since the disappearance of the dinosaurs. Amphibians have been surviving and
evolving for 360 millin years; however there is the very real possibility that a third or
even up to a half of all known amphibian species could become extinct within our lifetime
- unless we are prepared to act quickly.

Dr. Brian Wilmovsky - Vaccinations
vs a Strong Immune System
Dr. Brian Wilmovsky discusses the benefits
of a strong immune system over getting a flu vaccination made with harmful chemicals and
last year's flu strain. He has not missed a day of work in over 18 years of practice even
with patients coming in for treatment with many different sicknesses. When you keep the
immune system running at it's peak you have a better chance of keeping opportunistic germs
or a virus from overwhelming your immune system.

DN! Parents of Soldier Suicide (1)
in Iraq Speak Out
Gregg and Jannett Keesling are the parents
of Chancellor Keesling, a US soldier who took his own life on June 19th of this year.
Chancellor was on his second tour of duty in Iraq. During his first deployment, he
suffered mental health issues so severe he was placed on suicide watch. After getting back
to the United States, Chancellor had turned down a bonus offer to return to Iraq in the
hopes he wouldnt be redeployed. But he was called back in May. One month later, he took
his own life. Since Chancellors death, Gregg and Jannett Keesling have yet to receive a
letter of condolence from President Obama. After making inquiries, they discovered that
this was not because of an oversight. Instead, its because of a longstanding US policy to
deny presidential condolence letters to the families of soldiers who take their own lives.
