The CIA has maintained, including to Congress, that it did not take and does not have photos of Oswald’s trip to Mexico City to visit the Soviet and Cuban embassies in fall 1963.

Congress passed a law mandating that government records be released in full by 2017.

Despite his power to order the full release of these records, Trump continued to conceal them.

The Trump and Harris campaigns and the CIA did not respond to WIRED’s requests for comment.

Northern Lights will appear as far south as London tonight as a 'severe' geomagnetic storm slams into Earth.

The best way to catch the display is to find a dark place, away from light pollution.

Best aurora hotspots include the Lake District in Cumbria, Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, the Shetland Islands and Whitley Bay, North Tyneside.

Storm is triggered when a violent stream of charged particles released from the sun's outermost atmospheric layer is directed towards us.

The solar cycle is the cycle that the sun's magnetic field goes through about every 11 years.

Scientists can track the solar cycle by counting the number of 'sunspots' dark areas on the sun.

The number of sunspots increases as the sun reaches solar maximum.

A recent study predicted the solar maximum is coming sooner than expected.

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, is helping Donald Trump run for president.

Musk has established himself as the quintessential robber baron of the US’s second Gilded Age.

Kamala Harris is waging a strong campaign but it could be even stronger if she wielded more anti-corporate and anti-robber-baron populism.

The civil rights struggle and the Vietnam war had spawned an anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian New Left that distrusted government as much if not more than Wall Street and big business.

The Democratic establishment viewed the anti-war New Left as entitled children, who focused on personal expression and idealism rather than labor activism and the alleviation of poverty.

The Republican party, meanwhile, embraced cultural populism.

Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates defined health as a body in balance.

Modern medicine celebrates the ability to diagnose problems based on localisation of symptoms.

But what if health isn't simply a return to a previous state? If we think about health as part of considering organisms as organisms as no return in terms of regeneration, we ask what regeneration means.

Regeneration is typically thought of as renewal, revitalisation, rejuvenation, repair, recovery and a lot of other re-words.

In our book, What Is Regeneration? (2022), we laid out ideas of regeneration arising in the 18th century and looked closely at the contributions of early 20th-century biologists.

Adaptive, in this context, means that systems change through the process of regeneration in response to both internal and external conditions.

A system before regeneration will never be identical to a system after regeneration; there will always be changes in the parts or relationships between them, even if they look or function the same’ If we consider health as an outcome of regeneration, we should lean into regeneration when considering health.
