Chuck Leek, a former neo-Nazi and US Navy airman, explains how he recruited other members into his hate group. Researchers at the University of California San Diego have figured out how to turn algae into flip flops. They founded a startup to sell the shoe, but face a challenge in getting their invention mass produced: There aren't enough algae farms to support the startup's supply chain. WATCH: San Diego doctor treats patients and tests a COVID-19 treatment | A Diary from the Frontline A heartbreaking and majestically unforgettable twenty-six days through the island of Cuba with friends, acquaintances and strangers. With over 60 hours spent in Taxi Colectivos and Via Azul, I was able to visit: La Habana, Varadero, Matanza, Viñales, Playa Larga, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Santa Clara, Camaguey, Santiago de Cuba and Baracoa.
