Yeast is a living thing. A species: Candida albicans. You've undoubtedly heard of it. Yeast infection is one of the most common and misdiagnosed health issues today, and it plagues most women—and some men. Yeast infection can be a challenge to eradicate from one's life. But that eradication is entirely possible with the help of a raw foods diet and some useful information to get you on the right track.
Yeast, Candida, is naturally present in the body—in everyone's body. Our bodies contain both good and bad forms of yeast and various bacteria, living and working together in a symbiotic relationships, "designed" to bring about certain results. Thanks to conditions our modern diets and lifestyles create, it is easy for Candida to get a foothold and proliferate. Indeed, in many of us, Candida completely overtakes our inner terrain—mainly the intestinal tract and mucous membranes—and wreaks havoc in our bodies.
What causes this overgrowth? It is easier to ask what doesn't, the list of causes is so long. Cells clogged with waste matter and sugars work together to create a haven for yeast. A too-acidic body pH level, as well as medications such as antibiotics and birth control pills, also have dramatic impact.
Antibiotics, helpful as they may be, are indiscriminate killers. Antibiotics are notorious for killing off not only harmful pathogens, but also the beneficial ones that your body needs to keep yeast in check. An estrogen-rich environment is another favorite for Candida, so you can easily see why women have more problems with it than men. One reader pointed out to me that, according to one naturopath, Candida yeast proliferates as much as 7 times faster in adrenaline than in sugar. So we can see how caffeine and stress play their roles, too. Diabetics are especially susceptible, too. And the list goes on!
Once rampant yeast moves beyond the intestinal tract, it is now in the bloodstream. This, then, is a 'systemic' infection, with a plethora of symptoms from skin rashes to food cravings, depression to bloating. This pattern can lead, as well, to a malady known as leaky gut syndrome.
Many people have moved to a raw foods diet and rid themselves of yeast conditions once and for all. It's not easy for everyone, however. There are some people who will have to work a little harder to bring the body back into balance.
The traditional approach is to keep all sweet fruits and sugars completely out of your diet for a time. This generally will ensure that the yeast, who feast on sugar and sugar byproducts, have nothing to feed on—in essence, that they'll be starved and die off. This ban would also include mushrooms and anything else that tends to contribute to fungus.
Others believe it is not sugar in fruits that causes yeast, but that high fat intake stands at the root of the problem. The idea behind this theory: Fat prevents glucose from being absorbed by the body's cells, so that glucose accumulates in the blood, becoming a feeding ground for yeast bacteria. The solution offered is to reduce fat intake and increase greens consumption.
A low glycemic and fungus prevention protocol is the premise behind some popular and successful methods—for example, those used at the Hippocrates Institute and Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. A yeast-fighting regimen might include supplementing temporarily with a yeast-cleansing protocol to kill the stubborn invaders, with a probiotic supplement to reestablish beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Keeping the colon clean during this time is essential, ensuring that any excess waste leaves in a timely manner and doesn't loiter about, contributing to a clogged system.
My own personal experience, however, was different. I acquired a yeast infection on leaving the hospital after a hip surgery. I didn't have to resort to any supplements, but cured the problem with juice and water fasting. And not a lick of trouble since!
Some people have great success with including in their diets raw fermented products such as sauerkraut in their diets. This supplies the body with an abundance of natural probiotics, eliminates the need for supplementation.
Moreover, it's a dry fasting of a short duration that provides a powerful assault on all pathological bacteria and it may be the easiest way to free your body from yeast infection. Read more in my Quantum Eating.
If you have not yet experienced freedom from Candida albicans on the raw food diet alone, don't blame your diet. Quite possibly you simply haven't yet attained a completely cleansed and balanced internal environment. This may require a little extra effort on your part for a certain time. That effort, and that time, will be unique to your circumstances. But as the old adage goes, "You get out of it what you put in." Onward!

I read Brett Stuart's TRV guide and he encourages prompting percepts to arise in S2 when the pen has hit the paper.
Are descriptive words to be trusted if they come to conscious awareness mid-way through writing down the last percept or should the viewer only trust words that come when their pen has touched the paper?
Last edited by Aphex on Tue Jun 06, 2017 7:41 am, edited 1 time in total.
It's fairly common to receive the next descriptor in the middle of writing one onto the page during S2. If you're noticing pet words beginning to develop that are repeating across multiple sessions, I would recommend revisiting the Word Descriptor List (creating flash cards or writing them out w/definitions are both good exercises).
Additionally, you may also AOL these words if you notice them during a session. I ran into this problem early on after my training was complete, and it dissipated after practice and incorporating the above.
Thanks Brett... Appreciate the advice.
If I may, as Brett said, pet words can easily be fixed by working on the descriptor list. Don't be discouraged though, pet words are still descriptor words, and you may find that they're relevant, time and again.
Check out the flash card app "Study Droid" in the Google Play store. One of our own has published "Remote Viewing Word Descriptor" list. I use it all of the time. Very handy tool.

Design optimization and optical characterization of a high temperature solar receiver
Samia Afrin, University of Texas at El Paso
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a fast forwarding technology in power generation sector because of its' competitive price, abundance in nature and the most important fact is its' energy storage capability. Among the four types of available CSP technology, central receiver has more potential concerning with high temperature, power block efficiency and levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Other than conventional type of receiver design, the concept of this work is very particular in a sense of its design novelty. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) come up with a new concept of high temperature solar receiver called near black body (NBB) receiver. This receiver design requires high specular reflective surface in its' front section at operating temperature 150C. High specular reflective surface refers to mirror finished surface. However, this specular reflective surface application is for high temperature solar receiver, the surface needs to be durable from thermal cycling, oxidation and environmental effect. This mirror finished specular surface helps to penetrate the sunlight inside the hollow tube and hence increase receiver's efficiency. But at such operating temperature and environmental condition, optical properties degradation rate is high. So to protect this mirror surface a thin layer of SiO2 has been deposited by sol-gel method on top of electroplated silver coating. To obtain a rigid thin film structure, sol-gel procedure has been tested extensively by varying most dominant sol-gel parameters. Endurance test has been performed in the furnace at 150C for 1000 hours.

This project began 3 years ago when I started experimenting with collaging surreal hybrids of 80's style cameras with people. Last year this developed into life size wheatpastes that were situated as security guards around Heygate Estate. My project has now continued onto the issues of mass surveillance, I've created an interactive installation looking at how the innocence of children is being oppressed by the watchful eyes of CCTV.
This is the first setup test video filmed at my university of a 3D installation looking at the vulnerability of children in a world heavily monitored by cameras. The camera reacts to movement and will track motion. This idea started off as an illustration I did 4 years ago, and has been in development on and off since then.
Available for exhibitions and for hire, with interchangeable designs for the windows.
Constructed from MDF this is an interactive telephone installation highlighting key issues in UK prostitution, a comical yet educational experience. This project stemmed from a street art project expressing the dirty things we do in clean places (telephone boxes) which you can find here. The project involves having the choice to talk to various prostitutes about sexual diseases using the phone and also you can ring our altered call cards for more educational information on the subject.
A collaboration project with Amelia Clifford. The Alternative Phone Box installed at the Science Museum Late night adult only event. A selection of people from our degree course, Design for Interaction and Moving Image, studied at London College of Communication, were invited to exhibit their interactive installations, based around the theme of medicine, for one night only in February 2014. The Science Museum, Exhibition Road London.
This interactive installation is to raise awareness of the exploitation of animals within the dairy industry. Hu-milk is a collaborative piece by myself and Rob Halhead, that uses juxtaposition to highlight the cruelty of enslaving cows just for their milk. By anthropomorphising the reality of a dairy cows existence, this piece identifies how cruel the process of obtaining their milk is. It suggests a bizarre futuristic idea of human milk becoming a commodity. Through imposing this idea we hope to suggest to the viewer just how absurd it is to drink our own species milk during adult life let alone another species.


Another good dialogue point is the fact that at the moment's saunas are pocket-friendly as a result of they are so power environment friendly. Because infrared saunas are so environment friendly, owners are prone to expertise only a small improve in vitality costs. Moreover, these high tech saunas are safer, more comfy, and simply fit into just about any dwelling.
The frameless shower enclosures UK can give your toilet a contemporary, more energizing contemporary ambiance. The glass doors benefit from the shortage of a frame to provide a lighter aesthetic look. Regardless of this, the unframed enclosures are nonetheless very adaptable. The frameless bathe enclosures UK are often fixed in place utilizing wall brackets; this allows larger flexibility concerning unconventional shapes that have curved contours and more innovative designs. Frameless shower enclosures UK are very popular amongst young professional and elegance creatives.
As soon as you've got correctly arrange your Bokashi Food Recycling System and it's stuffed to the brim with food scraps it is just about hands-free after that. Unlike conventional composting, your job is mainly executed once you snap the lid on. The one job left is leaving it alone for the subsequent 2 weeks while the magic happens. If you have the Bokashi spigot bucket then you don't even have to attend a full two weeks to reap the nutrient rich rewards of your composting. Just drain the fluid out of your bucket each different day and add it to your water when sustaining your vegetation. Through the use of only a teaspoon of it with a gallon of water you'll immediately start seeing enhancements in your plants.

Primary Sources about the Windber Miners' Strike for Union in 1922-1923
The following primary sources talk about the miners at Windber, Pennsylvania, and the strike of 1922-1923.
Joining the Strike
William Parks' letter to John Brophy, May 30, 1922.
On the eve of the national strike, groups of Windber miners went on their own initiative to the Beaverdale UMWA local (and others) to report their readiness to join the strike and their desire for union.
Source: United Mine Workers of America, District 2 Records, Stapleton Library, Special Collections, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) District 2's strike call to non-union miners.
On April 1, 1922, organizers from UMWA District 2 invaded Windber and "Siberia"--their term for Somerset County. They handed out these brochures until they were arrested or chased away by the Coal and Iron Police or other company officials.
Joseph Zahurak quotation explaining how the Haulage Men led the Windber Miners out on Strike,
They [the miners] come out on the field in 1922. That's when they first get out there. The haulage men of Berwind-White--the haulage men, I mean mine motormen and spraggers. They was in contact with all the miners in the mine because they always ordered their cars, the amount of empty cars that they wanted or the loads that they pulled out, the haulage men. So the haulage men got together in 1922 to get it organized to come out on strike, and we avoided these people that--informers. Make sure they didn't contact them so they don't know anything about it. So in 1922, when April 1st come, a union holiday, they surprised Berwind-White, shut them down completely [emphasis]. Even the captive mines, Bethlehem Steel, US Steel, and all them. They was all shut down. And Frick Coal Company in Pittsburgh. So in 1922, it was quite a battle.
Joseph Zahurak, a spragger and 1922 strike activist who later served as president of UMWA Local 6186 from 1938 to 1977, offered this description of how the Windber strike began.

The New York Herald' article on the non-union walkout.
In April 1922, the New York Herald and other newspapers throughout the country expressed great surprise that non-union miners in Windber and elsewhere had joined the strike for union. In doing so, southern and eastern European immigrants were defying prevailing American ethnic stereotypes about their "docility."

List of six grievances
Such a condition in a free country could not last forever and the miners at non-union mines were only waiting for the opportunity to assert their rights. The occasion was the great coal strike of last year. Only a short time after the strike was declared in the union fields the miners in the non-union mines joined us. The strike of the union miners was for a continuation of the wage rates; that of the non-union miners was more, it was also a strike to end fear. Nearly 25,000 miners of the non-union fields in our district answered the strike call, and a great number of them, after 14 months, are still on strike.
To be more specific they struck:
For collective bargaining and the right to affiliate with the union.
For a fair wage.
For accurate weight of the coal they mine. (Experience teaches us that this can be assured only when the miners have a check weighman).
Adequate pay for "dead work."
A system by which grievances could be settled in a peaceful and conciliatory spirit by the mine committee representing the miners and a representative of the operator.
By above all, they struck to assure their rights as free Americans against the state of fear, suspicion and espionage prevailing in non-union towns. Against a small group of operators controlling life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of large numbers of miners. To put an end to the absolute and feudal control of these coal operators.
The last mentioned point being of greatest significance not only to miners, but to all American citizens. I shall take it up first. It is by reason of such absolute control that the other grievances exist in non-union fields. How does this control operate in practice? We will quote an authority not connected with. On May 28, 1923, UMWA District 2 President John Brophy presented a statement to the U.S. Coal Commission, which was studying the "sick" coal industry. In it, he explained the major grievances of Windber and other non-union miners that had brought and kept them out on strike for union.

A Battle on Many Fronts
Lynn Adams' State Police letter to coal operators dated March 18, 1922.
Berwind-White Coal Mining Company's response to Lynn Adams' State Police letter, dated March 29, 1922.
Before the strike, on March 18, 1922, Lynn G. Adams, Superintendent of the State Police, wrote a secret letter to the coal operators asking for confidential information about their operations to help the police during the strike. The letter strongly supports the strikers' view that the State Police were not impartial upholders of the law and order, but allies of the coal corporations. Here is Berwind-White Coal Mining Company's response to Adams' letter.
Source: Pennsylvania State Police Records, RG 30, Pennsylvania State Archives, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
In July 1922, there was increasing talk about government arbitration and concern about some sort of national settlement of the strike. To press for their inclusion in any final strike settlement, Windber UMWA Local 4207 and other newly founded Somerset County UMWA Locals sent letters to U.S. President Warren G. Harding, UMWA President John L. Lewis, and UMWA District 2 President John Brophy.

Pearl Leonardis on helping evicted families:
When they went on strike, Berwind threw [out] everything. They [Berwind people] went there and throw everything out from these families. That was a shame. You don't do stuff like that, you know. You stop the book [storebook]. You don't give them nothing. You don't give them the power, okay, the light, but don't throw their stuff out. Everything was throwed out, and those people were stranded. They were out there picking up their things.
So we had to, I told me husband, "Well," I said, "you go pick some families up."
So they went out, too, and they bring back a family...
This lady had two children, and she had a brother-in-law, herself, and her husband. So I said, "Okay, I'll give you room." I took the dining room, all the parlor. I pushed everything, brought every piece of furniture from upstairs, and I made her a bedroom out of my parlor. We brought her furniture, everything we could find upstairs and brought it for her.
I said, "I have a bunk bed. I'll put him [the brother-in-law] with our men upstairs. No don't you say no. He's a brother. We are all on strike and he's on strike, and we have to take care of these men." And we had a family. Then this other one [the neighbor] did like I did, and we put up another family.

Joseph Zahurak quotation about the coming of the union in 1933,
So then later on, after we come into it here, where we finally, after all these strikes from 1927 to 1933, when finally, the dark clouds disappeared. We got our president in there, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And they got the law [The National Industrial Relations Act] passed where you could organize. You're allowed to organize if you want to organize. And I'm telling you, that law was passed, and the union came in. The United Mine Workers of America was short on funds and money. So they borrowed $500,000 from the American Federation of Labor to put men out in the field for expenses to go out and talk to these miners. And they brought cards for us to sign the miners up, who all wanted the union. And I'm telling you, the cards went fast! Everybody was signing up. That's 1933, when they knew that they were finally safe. It could be done. We finally had our first union meeting in Slovak Brick Hall. And after a couple of meetings in there in July 1933, we received our charter. And Berwind-White Coal Mining Company recognized the union.

Ride Home 2015 has started
Published 10:30 am Thursday, September 17, 2015
By Beth Alston
A member of 'Honor-Release-Return' greets the former POWs and MIA family members prior to 2014 'The Ride Home' ceremonies.
AMERICUS — National Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) Recognition Day is Friday, Sept. 18. According to historical data, over 18,800 Georgians have been held as prisoners of war (POW), with more than 2,630 having died in captivity and over 1,400 still unaccounted for, dating back to the Revolutionary War. In their honor, Georgia Southwestern State University is helping host "The Ride Home" again this year.
The Ride Home began in 2002, and has become the nation's premier annual event to honor America's former POWs and the families of those still missing in action (MIA). Prior to services on Friday and Saturday members of Honor-Release-Return Inc. — an extension of The Ride Home — will escort former POWs and MIA families in grand fashion on motorcycles and other vehicles decorated in patriotic fashion.
The 2015 National POW/MIA Convocation started the week's festivities. The featured speaker was Brig. Gen. Rhonda Cornum, U.S. Army (retired), former POW during the Gulf War.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend the events at Georgia Southwestern associated with "The Ride Home" 2015. The featured events are listed here:

I grew up in Lawton, Oklahoma in a Christian home where my parents taught me that having a relationship with Christ and showing His love is the most important calling that God gives you in life. When I was 14 years old my parents took me to hear a guest preacher at another church in town and it was at that service that I gave my life to the Lord. I went to college in Chickasha, Oklahoma at the University of Sciences and Arts of Oklahoma. During the fall semester of my freshman year God placed on my heart that while I had given my life to him 4 years before, I had not fully surrendered to having a relationship with Him and at that time I rededicated my life. I graduated college in 2002 with a Bachelor's degree in management. My husband Chris and I met while attending college and we have been married for over 10 years. In the spring of 2005 God transitioned us north and we now live in Edmond, Oklahoma with our two sons. God brought us to Quail Springs Baptist Church in February 2011 where we became involved in our Sunday School Small Group. We have been so blessed with the friendships and support system that God have given us through this wonderful group of people who love Christ. When the student ministry position was posted, God placed on my heart to follow Him in obedience and apply. I am so excited that this is His will and to see where He plans to take this ministry.
It is my prayer that in this position I can be a support system for the youth ministry staff and parents; so their hearts and focus can be to teach their children God's love and disciple them in His word. God callsus to testify who He is and how much He loves us all. In providing our youth with the proper foundation we will be sending them out to change the world for God's glory and this is exciting!

'frantic call' |
Killers of tragic Ryan Quinn in spotlight in new series
Police believe Ryan was chased on to the tracks and wanted to charge two individuals with murder, but the PPS said there wasn't enough evidence.
Ryan Quinn
Roisin GormanSunday World
Tue 10 Jan 2023 at 17:39
The killers of tragic teen Ryan Quinn are in the spotlight in a new series from BBC presenter Vinny Hurrell.
The 14-year-old died when he was hit by a train on January 30, 2009 after he was chased from a Portrush bar.
The Coleraine schoolboy got his hand trapped on the line and made a frantic phone call to his father pleading for help. Minutes later he was struck by a train and died from multiple injuries.
Police believe he was chased on to the tracks and wanted to charge two individuals with murder, but the PPS said there wasn't enough evidence.
Vinny hopes his radio series and podcast will expose the enduring suffering of Ryan's family – mum Lisa, dad Ivan and sister Zara – and help in their quest for justice.
His probe uncovered several unanswered questions, including what happened to Ryan in the 15 minutes between leaving McLaughlin's Bar and being struck by the train, and why one of the suspects was present at several of the witness interviews with the PSNI.
The presenter has also learned that Ryan had been assaulted earlier that day, as well as in the bar, and that another witness had told police of individuals at a party months later disclosing they'd burned their clothes following the teen's death.
There are also questions over text messages referring to Ryan's death on the train tracks before police had confirmed his identity.
"If there wasn't a witness to see him on the tracks how did anyone know?" says Vinny.
"Every element of this is heart-breaking. To die in that way is such a horrible thing, especially a child, and then you realise there are more layers to it."
He's spoken at length to Ryan's family who want to ensure the teenager isn't forgotten.
"They want to make sure his memory stays alive, and that people are aware of what happened. This was a real person, a real child.
"Giving people an insight into the suffering of the family and who Ryan was makes it more real.
"Something like this does not get any easier, and this is their life.
"For Ivan to have had a phone call like that makes it very hard for him to move on."

Sister Zara, just 13 at the time, also reveals that she was coming home on a bus from a teen disco when everyone around her started receiving messages about Ryan's death, but didn't know how to tell her.
"I can't imagine as an adult being in that situation. It was like something from a movie with everyone else knowing the most horrible thing has happened in your life."
The case is currently under investigation by Det Supt Eamon Corrigan, who didn't head up the original inquiry. He spoke at length to the presenter.
A line of inquiry is the time gap between Ryan leaving the bar, where he was attending a family member's birthday party, and being struck by the train.
"There is a 15-minute gap which police identified as an issue. The train line is just across the car park, you could run it in 30 seconds, so it would not have taken him very long to get there," says Vinny.
"The family also told me of allegations there was a suspect in the house when police went to interview witnesses. The police at the time told them this was happening, that this is an issue they are coming up against when they go to potential witnesses' houses and the suspect is there and refuses to leave, and they can't force someone to leave a house. Det Supt Corrigan said he wasn't aware of that."
Vinny says the reluctance of witnesses to come forward also suggests that foul play was involved in Ryan's death.
"The police talked to as many people as they could, but there were many people who didn't talk to police. That might well be because they saw nothing, but there are accounts which suggest something did happen.
"If this was a tragic accident and there was nothing more to it why would there be secrecy?"
The presenter is hopeful that sharing Ryan's story will provoke people to tell police what they know.
Vinny was the producer on the Nolan True Crime podcast Getting Away with Murder in 2019, about the 1973 killing of Marian Beattie near Aughnacloy which brought new witnesses forward to police.
"Hopefully this, and the passage of time will make people come forward.
"I'm hopeful there are people who can fill in those missing minutes. People were talking about what happened, but they weren't talking to the police," he says.
Assume Nothing: Death on the Tracks is available on BBC Sounds and continues on Radio Ulster on Saturday at 12pm.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect approximately 8% of pregnancies, and can lead to serious complications for both mother and child. While Latinas are at two-fold increased risk of preeclampsia relative to non-Latina white women, little research on hypertension in pregnancy has been conducted in this population. Furthermore, there are few modifiable risk factors for hypertensive pregnancy. Therefore, we examined associations between psychosocial stress, physical activity, and pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy using data from the Latina GDM Study, a prospective cohort study of 1,231 women. The first study evaluated the association between perceived stress in early pregnancy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Prior studies suggest an increased risk of hypertensive pregnancy associated with high levels of work-related stress, however there is no previous research evaluating the impact of general psychosocial stress. Psychosocial stress was measured in early pregnancy through the Perceived Stress Scale and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were confirmed through obstetrician review of medical records. Using multivariable logistic regression we found no statistically significant association between early pregnancy stress and hypertensive pregnancy. The second study focused on the association between pre- and early pregnancy physical activity and hypertensive pregnancy. While some prior literature suggests that pre- and early pregnancy physical activity may be inversely associated with hypertensive pregnancy, findings are not conclusive. Pre- and early pregnancy physical activity was quantified using the Kaiser Physical Activity Survey, administered early in pregnancy. In this study, there was no statistically significant association between pre-pregnancy physical activity and hypertensive pregnancy. However, early pregnancy physical activity (total and household/caregiving) was inversely associated with risk of gestational hypertension. Finally, we examined the associations between pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain and hypertensive pregnancy. Previous studies in this area have included few Latinas. We found an increase in risk of hypertensive disorders with increased pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain exceeding the current Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain in pregnancy. These findings extend prior research to a Latina population. In summary, this dissertation research adds to the limited research on modifiable risk factors for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Why I am Voting For Trump and Donating, Too
Published by Prof. Janet E. Smith at October 29, 2016
I am voting for Trump because he is not Hillary Clinton.
Trump is behind in the polls. I suspect there is a very large number of people like myself who have considered not voting for president at all or for a third party rather than vote for either candidate. I hope those people will come to see that it is a good decision for those who live in a swing state to vote for Trump. Even more importantly we should give verbal support to his campaign and financial support to groups trying to get him elected.
I know it is not attractive to vote for and support Trump, but I believe we must. The stakes are very, very high.
It took me some time to come to this judgment. I have watched all the debates and was horrified when the vulgar, shallow, bullying, mendacious Trump beat 16 other decent — and some very good — Republican candidates. When Trump became the nominee, I was seriously thinking of not voting.
But over time as I evaluated what Hillary has done – all the terrible things I know she has done — and when I saw that all of our worst suspicions of her have been verified by what has been found in her emails, I realized I needed to vote for the only person who can stop her. She is the most corrupt person I have ever seen in American politics.
She lost me big time with her actions with respect to Benghazi and her testimony before Congress about the tragedy. The list of her horrifically bad deeds, some of them felonious, is too long to produce here. But surely a private email account, a pledge to support abortion in every way possible, trading favors with our enemies to fatten her own coffers, and plans to force Catholic hospitals to do abortions (which will be followed by requirements for Catholic schools to teach that homosexuality and transgenderism are normal) are enough to prove that Clinton is a real and present danger to religious liberty.
I am, of course, miserable that the only viable alternative to Clinton is Trump. I share most of the concerns of all those who are determined not to vote for him, but those concerns don't begin, really, to be counterbalanced not just by concerns about Hillary but very strong and justified convictions about her.
Funding Trump
When I reluctantly decided I had to vote for Trump, I realized I had to do more than that. I had already made contributions to several candidates – Fiorina, Rubio, and Cruz, but I had a very hard time convincing myself to do give money to Trump or to speak on his behalf publicly.
Voting for candidates is not enough. I have concluded for the most part that our single votes in this huge nation count for very little. Whether I vote or not is not likely to influence the outcome of the election. That doesn't mean I think it is unimportant to vote; I think it is very important. It is a civic act that reinforces my commitment to the democratic process; it makes me pay closer attention to candidates and their policies. Becoming an intentional voter and becoming informed helps me engage responsibly in arguably even more influential and important activities such as dialoguing knowledgeably with others and trying to influence their votes.
By donating to various political organizations, I hope more voters will vote the right way. My discussions and donations are arguably more important than my single votes. Still, while each single vote doesn't count for much, many single votes do; so it is important that I vote and that I work to help others vote the correct way.
I was not quick, though, to get out my credit card or to write in behalf of Trump. In fact, when I saw that several individuals I highly admire had made public commitments to Trump, I didn't know how they could be so disregardful of what that was doing to their reputations and what would happen to their reputations if he becomes president and turns out to be a terrible president. The media has smeared Trump supporters as racist, xenophobic, and sexist with all sorts of other deplorable qualities — and who wants to be painted with that brush? Certainly Trump is very likely to do some and maybe even many things I really don't want to see done. Yet, after more reflection, I decided I had to join those willing to put their reputations at risk for the common good. If those of us who have been thought to be trustworthy guides to good decision-making become discounted because of our support of Trump, I hope that eventually people will realize what we did was wise even if the results are against our hopes and wishes. Our aim is to stop Hillary, a much surer threat to all that is good.
I have taken several positions in my life that have ruined my reputation in some circles and enhanced it in others – it seems this is another time that it will be worth it. I do believe the future of this country will suffer for a very long time if Hillary is elected.
Responses to counter-arguments
For a couple of weeks I have been discussing various issues on Facebook with people who think it wrong to vote for Trump. I truly hope "NeverTrumpers" will prayerfully reconsider. Especially those who have a lot of influence with others.
Let me address some of their points, though most every point can be answered the same way. Yes, Trump is bad because of X, BUT HILLARY IS WORSE.
We can't do evil to achieve good
That is certainly true: we should never do evil to achieve good. But voting for the less bad candidate is not doing evil. In fact, it is what we often do. Although sometimes we really admire our candidates and want them in office, often we are not truly enthusiastic supporters of candidates: we just think they are better than the alternative.
Voting by its very nature is an "instrumental" act: a means to an end. Voting is most commonly the act of choosing the best option among the viable options available. It is not an endorsement of the candidate's character or even his or her positions. Many, many considerations may factor into one's vote. Many of those concern "contingencies," that is, making the best possible judgments about what the candidate is likely to do. And those judgments can be based on what the candidate has done in the past, on what the candidate has said, on what one thinks about the candidate's character, or on the testimonies of those one trusts (and perhaps other factors.) There is no complete certainty about these judgments, but one can have what is known as "moral certitude," which means that one has very good evidence that a given outcome will occur.
But, of course, moral certitude is often not possible. In those instances, it is justifiable to vote according to one's best judgment which might have very little certitude but represents the best that one can do with the knowledge one has.
In this freakish election cycle we have two wretched candidates but, in my view, Hillary is manifestly more wretched and more dangerous.
Trump is not qualified to be president (but he is impeachable!)
I'm inclined to agree with that assessment. But NEITHER IS HILLARY. She is a felon. She has given favors to our enemies to fill her own coffers. The fact that she got away with using a private server for classified mail, an act for which others are quite immediately convicted, shows she is untouchable. It is not inconceivable that Trump could get impeached if he did something awful. The Republicans hate him and, while they may be willing to work with him, they might well be happy to ditch him if the opportunity arises.
By contrast, Hillary is supported foursquare by her party, its institutions, and its elected officials, who would not support her impeachment even if she were caught personally leading a burglary at the RNC. Neither candidate is fit for office, but only one candidate has a chance at being removed for unfitness.
How strange it is to argue that we should vote for the impeachable candidate, but we should.
The GOP will never recover from a Trump presidency
I am not certain the GOP is worthy of saving, but I suspect Trump losing might be just as bad or worse for the GOP as winning. He will likely start a third party that neither I nor any of my friends would ever join. The GOP did not properly regroup after the election of Obama; why should we believe they will be able to regroup after Hillary? If Congress manages to pass some worthy legislation under Trump (such as the repeal of Obamacare), they may become a viable party again – though my more in-the-know Republican friends tell me the GOP is too divided for these things to happen. I hope that we at least get some decent Supreme Court justices and more protection for the life of the unborn and for religious liberty. Those may be long shots, but they are not outside the realm of possibility, in my view.
After a Hillary presidency, we might not be able to regroup or form a new and better third party. Freedom of speech and action may be so curtailed that we can no longer build the support needed to stop her and her ilk. If she succeeds in closing Catholic institutions and preventing freedom of speech, how will we educate others to think correctly so as to be able to counter her? Countries who fall under the rule of tyrannical relativists take centuries to recover. We are foolish to think it couldn't happen here.
But isn't Trump just awful?
Yes, he is in many respects — and in some really distressing respects. I make no excuses for his behavior – a lot of which is very objectionable. I wish he weren't the only viable alternative to Hillary — but he is. Some people think he is more open to conversion and growth than Hillary. I hope he is but I try to base my decisions on who the person is now. And even now, as wretched as Trump is, he is better than Hillary.
There is no reason to think he will be faithful to his prolife pledges
Well, maybe yes, maybe no, but we can be sure Hillary will be faithful to hers. She will do everything she can to make abortion more accessible – up until birth. She will try to make abortions free and will appoint pro-abortion judges to the Supreme Court – she may have up to 4 appointments. Yes, Republicans have made bad appointments; we have been duped. But Republicans have made some good ones too. Hillary will try her best to nominate those who pro-lifers will consider to be the worst possible candidates. Trump has presented a fantastic list of names from which he shall choose. Moreover, some very dedicated pro-lifers have met with Trump and endorsed him. He has been vetted by those I trust and he has made specific plans. Again, against Hillary's plans, I will take my risks with Trump. Finally, note that Trump was the ONLY person to speak against abortion at the Al Smith diner. That was a bold step and not clearly calculated to get him votes.
His followers are terrible people
Some are, for sure, though we must remember how the media is slanting things towards Hillary. Indeed, Hillary is even responsible for much of the violence at his events – she went to far as to send thugs to threaten women at Trump's events. But, yes, there are racists and sexists and xenophobes among his supporters. Of course, they exist in Hillary's ranks, too, but the difference is that Trump's are working class and Hillary's are the elite. But I am not voting for Trump because I want to advance his "movement." I want to stop Hillary.
Some people say it is a mortal sin to vote for Trump; some say it is a mortal sin not to; some say it is a mortal sin to vote for Hillary.
I think the very act of voting for a candidate in itself can rarely be a sin, let alone a mortal sin. That is not to say that sin can't be involved. Mortal sin must involve grave matter, and I don't think a single vote can have that kind of impact. But sin is a matter not just of the external act performed. It is also a matter of the intention. If a person votes for a pro-abortion candidate because he/she wants more babies killed by abortion, the will of that person is severely disordered and the sin is in the attitude that accompanies the vote rather than in the vote itself.
Indeed, sometimes it might be a good thing to vote for a pro-abortion candidate when, for instance, both candidates are equally pro-abortion but one is much better on other important issues. Or when one thinks the pro-abortion candidate has many other terrific proposals and won't really make much of a difference in respect to abortion.
Believe me, I think it is rare that someone should vote for a pro-abortion candidate, for a person with several personality disorders, or for a person who has lived an immoral life (I think Hillary is all of these and Trump some). But one cannot make blanket statements that we can never vote for this or that candidate. Context can force us to make choices we wouldn't otherwise make.
Voting certainly has moral dimensions of many kinds. If I vote for a swindler who will pass laws that benefit other swindlers and not for the common good, that both reveals my character and solidifies it. Holding one's nose and voting for someone one really doesn't want to see in office, but whom one understands to be better than the alternative, can reveal and solidify a good character. Such a person has the virtue of prudence and values the common good over one's own reputation.
Trump will lead us into a world war and international conflicts.
I don't really know how to assess this claim. Many speak of Trump as isolationist and Hillary as hawkish. Some fear that Trump's taunting and combative ways might lead other countries to be readier to wage war against us. I understand that. But more military folk seem to support Trump and prefer to have him at the helm. He promises to strengthen the military which generally makes war less likely. Putin has endorsed Trump and that makes me think he wants Hillary to win. Furthermore, it is arguable that Hillary has done more to assist our enemies than to thwart them. People are guessing here, so it seems to me. Those who are convinced Trump will more likely lead us into war should not vote for him (thought the death toll from Hillary's support for abortion may be higher), but I haven't seen evidence that convinces me .
My conscience is revolted at the thought of voting for Trump. You shouldn't question the judgment of my conscience.
The Church teaches that we must always choose in accord with our consciences, and that our consciences should be properly formed. In the case where there is settled Church teaching on a matter, a Catholic should form his/her conscience in accord with that (i.e., no fornication).
But there are many decisions that require prudence, which means assessing many factors, often foremost among them the certain or likely consequences of an action. In voting, that is very much what must take place. Voters must educate themselves about the candidates and vote for the one who will do a better job of governing.
Not voting or voting for a third party candidate completely unlikely to win can sometimes be a good choice, if both more viable candidates likely to win are equally bad. That vote is a "sending a message" vote. Those who live in states which Hillary will win by a landslide might wish to use their votes that way, since a vote from Trump will do no good.
Much of the disagreement between individuals who agree on fundamentals, but think it is right to vote for different candidates, results from different evaluations of the likely consequences of voting for a candidate. Some very devout Catholics think Trump is worse; others think Hillary is worse; others think they are both so evil that it would be wrong to vote for either one.
Is there no way of adjudicating these differences? Must we say, "We must all vote our consciences and thus agree to disagree?"
No, not before a lot of discussion takes place.
We must work to flesh out all the considerations that are influencing our votes. We must follow the news and bring out the facts as they are disclosed. It is possible that such a process will lead to a clear conclusion that one candidate is better than another.
[It should go without saying that none of us can be absolutely certain that we are correct, and thus should have some humility in insisting that it is altogether clear what the right choice is.]
Now, certainly, even if all the objective evidence clearly points to one candidate being better than another, not everyone (who agrees on fundamentals) will agree that the evidence is objectively clear. What accounts for the disagreement?
Some people are incapable, for various reasons, of evaluating evidence correctly. They may have irrational fears about some matter, for instance. If they are innocent of not recognizing and overcoming those fears, they would not be culpable for their poor choice. (This is invincible ignorance.)
But some people may be culpable; their inability to choose correctly may be the result of some character flaw, such as stubbornness, which prevents them from changing a position already taken even in view of the clear evidence. (This is vincible ignorance.)
Would some people be justified in not voting for the clear choice? Could their consciences be rightly leading the to make a choice different from the objectively correct choice? And thus they would be justified in saying "My conscience tells me to vote for X, so please respect my conscience."
Yes, sometimes this can happen. As I have stated, one single vote in our culture is quite an inconsequential thing. One vote has little impact on the whole. If it would create serious marital disharmony to support a candidate, then it could be a wise matter not to verbally support or vote for that candidate. Voting is a private act so it is possible that one could vote for a candidate one has not "supported". Still, one might very much want to answer one's spouse truthfully who asks, "For whom did you vote?" In that instance, a vote for the poorer candidate could be justified. Example two: a person who works in place where he would lose all credibility with his coworkers shouldn't show support for a candidate. (Note, though, those who are voting in accord with some personal standard that overrides the objective standard should not be trying to get others to vote the way they are going to vote.)
Yes, we must all vote our consciences even when they are wrong (though we should not believe they are wrong!). We must do everything to shape them and vote accordingly.
One last question: suppose one agrees that all the evidence points to one candidate as clearly being the right choice but one still cannot move one's self to vote for that person. Would it be wrong not to vote for that person? I suspect not. It may well be that one has a strong intuition of an obstacle to voting that one has not yet identified and sometimes it is right to heed those intuitions, though one should be careful not to use them as an excuse for failing to do what one knows to be right.
I believe the evidence manifestly points to Hillary as the vastly inferior candidate and a tremendously dangerous one. It is to be much lamented that the only viable alternative to her is the reprehensible Trump.

From 1992 it is called Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia.  An important event, largely determined the fate of research at the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, was giving it the Government Decree №1167 of October 14, 1994 the status of the State Scientific Center of Russian Federation.
