About Vaccine Impact
More than a half century ago, famed writer C.S. Lewis warned about how science (a good thing) could be twisted in order to attack religion, undermine ethics, and limit human freedom. Lewis lived during the era of scientific eugenics, and saw first hand its horrors.
In this documentary "The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis and the Case Against Scientism," leading scholars explore Lewis's prophetic warnings about the abuse of science and how Lewis's concerns are increasingly relevant for us today.
Quote from C.S. Lewis:
"I dread government in the name of science. That is how tyrannies come in."
by Attorney Jonathan Emord

If you do a dispassionate examination of ALL the mainstream sciences as I have done over the last 45 years, you will discover that, "SURPRISE", they are ALL based on erroneous assumptions. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

From the 14th Amendment:
"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
In the "Slaughterhouse Cases", "A 1873 U.S. Supreme Court decision, 83 US 36, on a series of cases in which the Court expressed its first interpretation of the privileges and immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.  The court interpreted this clause as protecting the rights people have by virtue of their US citizenship, not by virtue of their citizenship of a state. It then defined the rights of US citizens narrowly, excluding civil rights.  The dissents, and modern critics of the case, say that this effectively rendered the clause meaningless."
And what are "equal rights" without civil rights – personal, individual rights? What is the difference between Germany defining a normal, healthy human being as Aryan, with males over six feet tall, able to learn anything others have learned well and quickly, not prone to disease, etc., with a logical facility equal to or exceeding those of inferior races and specimens of humanity, and the definitions Holmes used to choose who may live and who must die and/or be prevented from procreating? It's a completely artificial standard depending on the personal prejudices and preferences of the individual(s) making the determination, all the while ignoring the very first of the rights listed by the Founders: "LIFE – liberty and happiness." Nowhere does the Constitution, OR the Declaration of Independence, lower the right to life itself, the right that gives meaning to all others, until it is subordinate to the pseudo-scientific notions of bigots! In fact, it seems to me that there is also an "emotional intelligence," a wholeness of empathy in most people that leads us to feed, house and clothe the victims of unfortunate circumstances. One of the strongest examples of this type of intelligence was Jesus in the Gospels, supposedly the perfect example of a whole, strong  and loving human being who was nonetheless strong enough to stand against the most powerful Western state on Earth at the time no matter what they did to Him. Holmes was willing to kill for his beliefs (without a shred  of evidence the superior of his own preferences were those of the majority – or at the least a very great many – but would he have been willing to die for his beliefs? I strongly doubt it!
The examples set in the Gospels call for us to feed, clothe and house the hungry (who were obviously either unable to work, or to find work they could do that was adequate to care for and house themselves and their families) until they could get back on their feet again. How to care for the permanently disabled was also shown, but it's beyond most of us: He cured them. Holmes, using these standards, was an intellectual retard! It can be seen that almost anyone – except the wealthy – will follow these standards if they're presented with someone in need. People other than Jesus have also followed them    to the extent that they themselves were killed trying to help others in desperate danger! Holmes totally ignored the feelings of the unfortunate to such an extent that he would have them, their progeny and all like them executed! Nazi Germany felt the same, and the "hospital" staff where they killed "inferior" children using carbon monoxide held a huge beer bust celebrating the death of their one millionth victim!
The fact is that most often the so-called misfortune of the poor is due to the greed of the wealthy and  their actions in using that wealth to control the average and the poor to support them! A Rockefeller (Nelson I think) had the entire paradigm of teaching children in this country altered to provide HIM and his enterprises with "good factory workers"! It has degenerated from there under the influence of the wealthy who followed him until even many of the Middle Class cannot survive without "government aid"! The "inferiority" of  the "substandard" (an arbitrary standard at best) is mostly or entirely due to such meddling! Who was it that made up a placard reading, "Feed the poor – eat the rich!"? It's a thought… Now THERE'S involuntary servitude!

we as citizens csn only do so much.
There is a bill on the table in Ct. as well to remove and restrict exemptions.
My body and the body of my kids is NOT eminent domain. ..there  HAS to be laws…this truly needs to continue being taken back into court and stopped..god knows what else they are going to put in vaccines..after all they are immune to liability !!!  Thanks for the article it was informative.

Based on the statement below this attorney has bought into the UNVACCINATED ARE INFECTING THE VACCINATED LIE.  Despite his article being very revealing in regards to the eugenic movement in the US as someone who possibly may represent the interest of exemptors, he would cause more harm than good.  This is the crux of the Pro Vaccine apologist argument-the Unvaccinated can infect the Vaccinated.  Until Jonathan W. Emord comes to understand "genuine science", he should just stick to the law.
Let us assume, for example, that there is an outbreak of measles in a public school in Newark, New Jersey, and your child who is not vaccinated attends school in Camden, New Jersey. Let us assume further that upon consultation with an expert in immunology and based on that consult, you insure that your child takes specific and extensive steps to avoid becoming a carrier of the disease. For example, among other risk reduction strategies, you have your child at school wear a face mask covering nose and mouth and hygienic gloves and avoid any interpersonal contact with other students during the time public authorities say there remains a risk of measles contagion. Because vaccines are not 100% effective, including the measles vaccine, there will be children who will become carriers and may transmit the disease to others even when vaccinated. It is the case, however, that your child, having observed these alternative steps will be at no greater risk of contracting the disease than a child who is vaccinated.
LeAnn Addleman March 28, 2015 at 9:52 am - Reply
A child who is vaccinated today is actually at a greater risk of becoming I'll with the vaccine induced dorm of the disease than an unvaxed child and will likely pass that on to others.   The vaccine package insert says that anyone vaccinated should avoid contact with others for at least 21 days after vaccination.   An unvaxed child  will be less likely to pass along a disease they have not had exposure to.   My 2 youngest children,  the one year they went to public school,  I was told would need to stay home in the case of an outbreak at the school.
The most recent outbreak of pertussis was in a public school where 99.5% of the children had been fully vaccinated.  How do we explain that?
The explanation is simple: Big Pharma has LIED all these years in order to make billions in profits! In addition to conferring NO immunity to disease, vaccines not only spread disease, in some instances 89% of the infected HAD been vaccinated! As bad or worse, the "additives" like Thimerosol and others (formaldehyde for one) cause "microstrokes" in the brain to the easily proved research of Dr. Andrew Moulden (look him up on YouTube – if it's still there) – brain damage! More and more the vaccine industry is permanently damaging or killing children and older people especially with their lies and their toxic vaccines. (Dr. Moulden, when he refused to cease his research (he was ORDERED to burn it!) and his attempts to educate the public "suddenly and unexpectedly died" two weeks, I think, before he was due to come out with a new book and more attempts to spread the information he'd discovered. How convenient – for someone. Since the Gulf War they've been adding squalene, an oil which, when injected, DEVASTATES the human body an unpredictable length of time afterward, i.e."Gulf War Syndrome". Look for that "additive"! it kills, slowly and painfully. Gulf War vets were given anthrax vaccines containing on MILLION TIMES the amount that already known to cause that disease. And now they can't be sued, so the information was allowed to come out, apparently.
Pardon – that was supposed to be "around 98% or more".
Simple: the "science" the industry is BASED ON is a lie. It's told, like most other industry lies, to make LOTS of money. The vaccine industry needs to be closed down, period.

This issue has to go back to the courts.  The science that has been twisted needs to be exposed.  the rights of the individual must be protected.
The courts don't do that.  Our justice system is seriously flawed and corrupt.

Many still life photographers choose between three straightforward angles: the bird's eye view, the straight on perspective, and the 45 degree angle. There's a time and place for each view. Experiment with each if you're unsure of how you'd like to show off your subject. If you have trouble getting the angle you'd like, use a step stool or ladder rather than straining yourself. Regardless of the perspective you choose, be sure that the lines within your frame are straight.
One of the biggest mistakes most people make when styling still life shots is leaving too much negative space within the frame. Instead, opt to allow your subjects to overflow outside of camera's view. It implies a larger scene going on just out of our sight and makes for a more inviting final composition. Creating this effect is as simple as spreading out props to the edges of the image's frame. That being said, be wary of over crowding your image with too many elements at once.
Believe it or not, the positioning of inanimate objects can play a huge role in the feelings your image evokes. For instance, take into consideration that shapes often have subconscious gender connotations applied to them. Often times, straight lines and harsh angles can be interpreted as masculine. On the other hand, more feminine curves and organic shapes are often preferred in food photography, as they're naturally inviting. Determine what message you'd like to convey through your still life, and then ask yourself whether the image you're working with is in line with what you'd like to say.
Of course, there are lots of other things that professionals take into consideration when arranging an image. But, finding the perspective, composition, and mood that work best for the image you're trying to make is essential in creating something truly appealing. Don't overthink still life photography. The best strategy is to play around, experiment, and try to find an arrangement that's both imaginative and enticing.

What's That Song About?
Music is everywhere. Every culture has it. It was always there. It records everything. It's a living history. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, but those who rock remember.
"Burning Underground" - Bim Skala Bim, 1998 (ska)
There's a fire burning underground
through the vacant mine shafts
Underneath the hills and below the town
there's a fire burning
In northern Appalachia
Abandoned, still standing
No one left to tip it over
through the fabled mine shafts
of the town
Underneath the hills and below the ground
there's a fire burning upside down
A big ol' sink hole opened up last night
swallowed a mailbox and a Dodge
down there by the traffic light
Tow truck pulled it out and said no charge
Open steam and burning at the sight
black smoke turning day into night
Their good ol' days are over
It's a bit ironic, isn't it...one of America's longest-lasting ska bands writing a song about one of America's longest-lasting mine fires? "Burning Underground" isn't one of the Boston band's greatest hits. In fact, it appears on a B-side and outtake album called "The One That Got Away". It really isn't even that great of a song compared to the rest of the band's repertoire, but they needed to fill up space on the record, and why not fill it up with some smoke and mirrors...or at least smoke. After all, that's what the town of Centralia, PA is filled with, and that's what the song is about. At least you're not 3:36 dumber...
In its heyday, much like any mining town, Centralia had a modest population of about 3,000 people, comprised of coal miners and their families. A tourist's visit today could nearly double the population. There are 10 people who live there...precariously. The United States Census Bureau officially recognizes the Lehigh Valley (in which Centralia is located) as the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Area. If you weren't familiar with the area before, perhaps you recognize the names Allentown and Bethlehem, which are historically famous for their mining operations and steel production.
Centralia was once part of the Lehigh Valley powerhouse. By 1962, mining operations were so successful that trash and mining waste had begun to accumulate. As there was no designated dump site, mining companies would fill old strip mines with trash. At one point there were eight illegitimate dump sites around the city, and Pennsylvania lawmakers had already learned the painful correlation between landfills and mine fires. A precautionary law passed in 1956 required that all strip mine landfills be inspected regularly as it was not uncommon for new mines to have perforated the walls of old mines.
Upon the regulatory inspection of the proposed landfill site, an inspector for the Dept. of Mines and Mineral Industries noticed holes in the wall and floor of the mine site and informed Council members that the site would have to be cleared and filled with an incombustible material before the city could officially deposit trash there. The proposed site, however, already had trash in it, and the city would have to remove it before they could meet the regulatory requirements. The meeting minutes do not disclose the proposed disposal procedure, but historians' best guesses speculate that Council had agreed to burn the trash rather than remove it (since that is exactly what they did), and that such discussion was omitted from the minutes because Pennsylvania state law prohibited dump fires...and as Centralia learned the hard way, some laws are there for good reason.
On May 27, Centralia council hired five members of the volunteer fire department and lit the match. After allowing some of the trash to burn, the flames were doused and the fire was assumed to be out. However, two days later, another burst of flames erupted from the pit. These flames, too, were doused. Given the scale of the burn, a smaller eruption could be considered normal and no big deal as perhaps the fire just hadn't been completely put out. The pit seemed under control until a week later when fires once again erupted. Again the fires were put down,and this time the fire department sent in a bulldozer to stir up the garbage, presuming that the cause was smoldering, underlying waste.
Once the pit was churned, however, workmen found a hole in the floor of the pit that intersected another mine shaft underneath. The presence of trash had concealed the hole. The fire department wetted the trash and killed the flames once again, but the fire would not stop. While there was no open flame at the moment, the fire continued to smolder out of control filling the area with foul odors and noxious fumes. Residents filed complaints with the borough, and eventually more equipment was brought in to determine the cause of the belligerent burning. Detection devices found high levels of carbon monoxide, which was indicative of a mine fire. Despite bids to dig the area and clear the fire out of the mine shafts, on August 6, lethal levels of carbon monoxide were detected, as the fire had spread to network of mines below, igniting a large vein of anthracite coal that could not be extinguished, and all Centralia area mines were permanently closed.
For the next 20 years, numerous futile attempts were made to extinguish the fire. Not only were the deadly fumes a threat to residents, but the ground beneath their houses and their feet became highly unstable as coal burned away leaving fissures and causing the collapse of surrounding rock. Sinkholes appeared overnight swallowing houses and sometimes even people. Between the constant belching of toxic gases and the unstable foundation below them, the town of Centralia, PA became unlivable, and most of the residents moved away under the Federal relocation program. Experts say there is enough coal down there for the fire to burn freely for another 250 years. All lands and properties have since been seized by the State through eminent domain, and in 1992 the town's ZIP code was officially revoked.
Bim Skala Bim isn't the only band to make something out of the nothing that is left of Centralia, PA. The 1991 movie "Nothing But Trouble" takes a stab at it in a comedy that's almost as bad as the fire itself, starring Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Demi Moore, and featuring hip hop artists Digital Underground (including Tupac's theatrical debut) in a burned out, Rust Belt town called Valkenvania that collapses into a heap of underground flames. It's also the inspiration for the film adaptation of the video game "Silent Hill". Filmmakers made several trips to Centralia to draw up the set, the most iconic centerpiece, of course, being the church.
Just the facts, Ma'am:

Activism can be directed toward three interrelated components: ideas, people, and systems. Ideas represent both unique expressions and the collective zeitgeist. People may include individuals and various kinds of groups (families, special interest clubs, neighborhoods, etc.). Systems are the political, social, and economic structures through which people interact.
In activism practice, these three mechanisms are sometimes confounded. We often blame people without thoroughly investigating the structures and ideas that guide them. Sometimes we talk of changing the system without reconstructing the ideas that support them and without fully appreciating the ripple effects on the people who are involved at all levels. And if we attempt to change ideas without involving people or systems, they will remain disconnected from reality and immobilized.
Because ideas, people, and systems intersect and interact, activism should strategically target and integrate all three in order to be effective.

They say the product manager puts the product on shelf and marketing manager takes it off the shelf. It is all wrong. These two if working effectively eliminate a need for the shelf.
– Don't stop, keep going!
What is marketing's primary responsibility? Marketing creates the product awareness and explains how the product helps us increase the quality of our lives. What value the product provides and why we will be better off using this product.
I remember that feeling when I had HTC Diamond in my hands for the first time. It was a mix of thrill and excitement. It was exactly that famous wow effect. After mobile phone, it felt like you had all the world at your fingers tips and your PC in the pocket. It was more than just buying a new thing; it was buying a new experience.

MacGruder & Loud

I have dreams of going to medical school and have since changed my major in college from nursing to chemistry and physics. Cancer research is something that I truly want to pursue, especially after my internship at the University of Minnesota where I studied this disease and how it manifests in women. It will take an extra year to graduate with my major change, but I feel like this is my calling. I've already completed my first research study comparing cancer mortality rates between African American and Caucasian American women.
It's not just the scientific research that fascinates me; it's learning as much as I can about how to translate what I learn into directly helping people in my community, people who more often than not don't have access to adequate medical care.
Presently, I'm in my junior year at St. Kate's, a private Catholic university, where I was able to attain a scholarship from my high school academics. In addition to school, I work for a women's shelter caring for victims of domestic violence. I help women get themselves re-established and act as their advocate in legal, employment and housing matters. I also make sure their children get the assistance they need.
I have firsthand knowledge of what domestic violence can do to a family. It's why my mother fled Mexico with me. To keep us safe, she took a leap of faith and started over in a nation that offers women more protection from abuse than Mexico. Though she eventually worked things out with my father, it took a new life in a new country to bring our family back together. Because of my childhood experiences, I can relate to the women in the shelter and this helps them trust me.
Right now, I live with my parents and two younger brothers, 12 and 7, who are both citizens. We support each other both emotionally and financially and keep our family strong.
My mom brought me to the States 16 years ago. I was only five so she tried to keep me from being afraid by telling me we were going to Disneyland. Instead we walked across most of Arizona until we found a place to stay. We were with a group of friends and they took turns carrying me because I was too little to keep up or walk great distances. We wound up in Chicago with an uncle for a year and then reconciled and reunited with my father in Minnesota where we've been ever since.
Before DACA, I was working long hours for little pay while going to school. Now I have a work permit and a real job that I love, where I make a real difference. DACA is a good start to fixing the immigration system but it's not nearly enough. My mom applied for residency with the sponsorship of her own mom. This was 15 years ago. My grandmother has since died and my mom has yet to have her application approved.
I must continue to follow my dreams despite the immigration system's failures. I have big plans. I was the first in my family to graduate high school and go to college. The goal of finding new cancer treatments drives me to study hard and figure out a way to pay for medical school. It won't be easy, but I have a lot of emotional support from my family. This keeps me going along with the work I do at the women's shelter. I am earning my citizenship by becoming a research scientist, by fulfilling my potential as an advocate for women and social justice and by making my parents proud.

Bridge International Academies Careers
Government Relations Manager, Policy and Partnerships
Strategy Leadership Nigeria, Yaba
Government Relations Manager, Policy and Partnerships.
Bridge partners with governments, donors, and parents to ensure that every child has access to an education that develops her full potential and creates the foundation for prosperity for the country. We are dedicated to supporting teachers, empowering school leaders, and ensuring every child has the learning support needed to master the national syllabus and have the confidence to succeed in a competitive world. Each of our project or country teams are supported through expertise and programming from additional offices around the world, combining world-leading expertise in core design areas with locally resident leadership and execution. We leverage experts, data, and technology in order to support and scale every aspect of quality education delivery. Bridge managed and supported schools are technology enabled and data driven to ensure accountability in the classroom for both teachers' performance and children's learning.
The Bridge model delivers significant learning outcomes at large scale by combining technology and customized learning materials. At Bridge, we believe innovation and technology can transform learning. Our model – which uses technology to deliver thoroughly researched and carefully designed daily lesson guides to teachers in our academies – is proven to increase learning outcomes for children. We are a solutions-driven, implementation-focused organization, using design principles to work in varied and often highly constrained contexts to ensure learning outcomes and positive development for children. Working in regional and national scales is important to us, as empowering entire generations of children with core knowledge, skills, and confidence is what builds the foundation for a peaceful and prosperous future for us all.
Our mission is to provide our pupils with a life-changing education and we believe that every child should have a right to world-class education regardless of her family's income. Core to our approach is the conviction that every child can learn, as long as the school she attends is committed to her development and puts her needs to learn at the forefront of all decisions. We have seen teachers and children transform and excel in both government and private schools that we support and manage.
We invite you to join this incredible endeavor that is having world-changing impact across multiple continents. You will join a team of dedicated change-makers committed to ensuring that each decision we make keeps a child's experience of learning as its guiding principle.
The education crisis is one that requires urgent, collective, and concrete action to surmount. While Nigeria is said to have the largest number of out of school children in the world, the education crisis is not just about out of school children, but also about children who are in school and not learning. In Sub Saharan Africa, statistics say that 88% or almost 9 out of 10 children and adolescents will not be able to read proficiently by the time they are of age to complete primary and lower secondary Education. With Nigeria being the most populous country in Sub Saharan Africa, this crisis impacts us most.
Bridge started operations in Nigeria in 2015, opening its affordable private nursery and primary schools targeted at providing life changing education for families living in low-income areas of Lagos State in parts of Ikorodu, Alimosho, Badagry, Ojo, Epe, and other local government areas. In 2017, Bridge further expanded its reach to the most marginalized and vulnerable communities by partnering with the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) and the State of Borno to set up a public school serving out-of-school children and children from internally displaced communities. In 2018, Bridge became technical partners to the Edo State government in its implementation of the Edo State Basic Education Sector Transformation program to reform its public primary and nursery school system.
Today, Bridge works with both communities and governments to ensure hundreds of thousands of children have access to either a well-run, high achieving affordable private or free public school so that the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 of Quality Education becomes a reality for the millions of children in Nigeria quickly. You will join a group of Nigerians taking concrete action to help address the education crisis in Nigeria and ensure a better future for the children of Nigeria.
The Strategy Group at Bridge is responsible for our overall direction in education service, designing our verbal and visual brand, communicating our work internally and externally, providing insight into the ecosystems within which we work, measuring the impact of our programs, engaging our government partners in programming, ensuring regulatory compliance, and expanding the reach of our services into new geographies. Creative, Public Relations, Insights, Measurement & Evaluation, Policy & Partnerships, and New Opportunities are all departments within the Strategy Group. Collaboration between and coordination of each of these department's functions is critical to ensure that every child has access to an education that develops her full potential and creates the foundation for prosperity for the country.
Policy and Partnerships Department
The Policy & Partnerships team (P&P) leads the Bridge movement to transform lives of millions of children through education. We lead pioneering efforts to revitalize Government-led delivery of education across the world. We engage with visionary political and Government leadership to help shape policy, strengthen delivery and impact complex education systems through public private partnerships. We also engage with other dynamic influencers (NGO, donors, think-tanks and academicians) to unlock news ways of partnering to make high-quality education accessible to every child in underserved communities.
As the Government Relations Manager, you will help Bridge meet legislative goals by creating policy proposals and working with government agencies. You are on top of research on government policies and laws, manage internal and external communication and have a large resource base of personnel in the public sector.
• Fostering the Bridge brand amongst government circles through advocacy and public relations.
• Conduct research and monitor legislation. You are also responsible for tracking happenings within the government that could affect Bridge. Proactively researching policies to see what changes could be advantageous and which trends might negatively impact us in the future.
• Conducting both internal and external communications to ensure message continuity. Prepare reports and presentations to deliver within Bridge organization and externally. You will also represent the organization at industry forums and events.
• Recruiting champions for Bridge at Federal, State and Local Government levels.
• Managing relationship with key stakeholders and Ministry parastatals at the Federal, State and Local Government level
• Documenting and managing all government regulations around education to ensure compliance.
• Oversee the registration and approval process of Bridge owned schools in various states
• Identifying partnership opportunities for Bridge to work with Local, State and Federal Government,
• 8+ years' experience working in a similar role the bulk of which should have been with the private sector but closely liaising with the government on development projects.
• A deep understanding of how the different levels of the government work and how policies are advocated and formulated
• Bachelor Degree with superior academic performance
• Master's Degree is an added advantage
• Rollcall of contacts within all levels of government in Nigeria
• Prior experience within a fast-paced, metric driven consulting or educational organization
• Excellent writing and oral communication skills are required
• Ability to multitask and execute on various projects
You're also
● A detailed doer – You have a track record of getting things done. You're organized and responsive. You take ownership of every idea you touch and execute it to a fine level of detail, setting targets, engaging others, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. You can multi-task dozens of such projects at once and never lose sight of the details. Likely, you have some experience in a start-up or other rapid-growth company.
● A creative problem-solver – Growing any business from scratch comes with massive and constant challenges. On top of that, Bridge works in often fragile, sometimes volatile low-resource communities and with complex government systems. You need to be flexible and ready to get everything done effectively, quickly, and affordably with the materials at hand.
● A relentless advocate – The children we serve and teachers we empower never leave your mind. You know them, get them, have shared a meal with them (or would be happy to in the future). You would never shrink back from shaking a parent's hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what the person was wearing or looked like. Every decision you make considers their benefit, experience, and value.
● A malleable learner – You believe you can always do better. You welcome constructive criticism and provide it freely to others. You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where you've missed things or failed today.
● A data-driven decision-maker – When making decisions, you don't rely your intuition alone. You collect data, you analyze it and make decisions with clear justifications.
● A curious investigator – You ask why a lot. You don't just take what you see and accept it. You wonder why it is that way, and are aware that the world we see is created by human choices and actions – and it could be different. You wonder, and see the world as wonderful even when you want to change a part of it that is unjust.
