What is Iodine
What Is Nascent Iodine?
"Iodine is a naturally occurring mineral found in seawater and soils. It is an essential trace element for life and is found in food and salt that the body requires. Iodine's main role in human biology is as a constituent of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland actively absorbs iodide from the blood to make and release these hormones back into the blood. Thyroid hormones play a basic role in biology, acting to regulate metabolism. The total deficiency of thyroid hormones can reduce basal metabolic rate up to 50%, while an excessive production of thyroid hormones the basal metabolic rate can be increased by 100%."
Role of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in the association between thyroid diseases and breast cancer. (Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Pages 107-114 M. Gago-Dominguez, J. Castelao)
The Health Benefits of Nascent Iodine
The discovery of a consumable form of nascent iodine is a very recent development. If your health care provider has never heard of consumable nascent iodine forms, that is not unexpected. Nascent iodine is well known in the scientific and medical communities, but not in a consumable form. There are at least three patents in the marketplace which reference using nascent Iodine in various ways, but not as a consumable product. Our patent, is the first and only patent for a consumable form of nascent iodine. These non-consumable forms of nascent iodine have very short lifespans and have limited uses. One process produces nascent iodine in an electrolytic bath for coating pacemakers, catheters, and other devices that enter the human body. The nascent iodine is produced in the electrolytic bath and coats the device to completely sterilize it. The other two patents involve producing nascent iodine for transdermal application by mixing chemicals to produce nascent iodine. These are very short-lived, as well, in their process. They produce all types of nascent iodine forms for application on the skin.
Now that you understand the health benefits of nascent iodine, see how it can help you. At Magnascent, we are committed to offering a top-of-the-line nascent iodine supplement. Contact us today to get started!
Our product, Magnascent Iodine, is a consumable form of nascent iodine and is not produced chemically. It is produced electromagnetically. For this reason, our product has a long shelf life and can be taken internally to provide nascent iodine to the body. Over 100 years ago, those who worked with iodine were searching for a method for producing nascent iodine within the body, and they went to extreme measures to attempt this. (See below story of Nichols from Medica Materia, the story of Nichols).
In the year 2000, John Brookshire, an aerospace engineer with a passionate interest in holistic healing, met a missionary struggling with the devastating effects of malaria and the inability of current treatments to combat malaria. A search of holistic treatments from the 1930's revealed a type of iodine used to treat various illnesses, including malaria. The exact formulation of this medicine from the 1930's appears to have been lost as the parent manufacturing company was bought and sold many times within a few years. A second method for producing this iodine had been recommended at the time, but was far too costly and time-consuming to be produced in the depression era of the 30's.
With current technology and determination, the historical process was refined to produce a revolutionary new product. Through a series of "coincidences" or synchronicity, certain peoplein came together with the right information which led to the discovery and implementation of Magnascent Iodine.
The missionary had already been using a non-nascent iodine supplement, an energized iodine. After the first use of this new iodine in the nascent state, the missionary excitedly reported, "This product is amazing! Just amazing!" That seemed to be the only word that he could use in describing our product.
This iodine supplement has been subsequently supplied for the missionary's health clinic and other clinics in the area to meet an iodine deficiency in that part of Zambia.
The process for the discovery of a consumable form of nascent iodine was patented by John Brookshire to ensure that this discovery would not be lost to mankind, as the process used in the 1930's had been lost, when the discoverer of that version died without revealing the formulation.
"IODINE (U. S. P. "Iodum"). (See the textbooks for a detailed consideration of this drug.) The crystals are occasionally given in 1-10 gr. doses incorporated with some inert substance, as a triturate. The maximum dose is I gr. The tincture may be given internally in I to 5 drop doses, well diluted. Iodized sesame oil is given in doses of I to 3 fK in emulsion. It liberates its iodine slowly when ingested. The decolorized tincture, used internally, is absorbed without precipitation. The brown iodide of lime, originated by Nichols, is a loose combination of iodine and calcium oxide, and sets nascent iodine free when taken into the stomach. Give in doses of 1/4 to I gr. Spongia or burnt sponge (q. v.) is another available way for giving iodine.
There has been a good deal of dissatisfaction with the iodides when prompt results are desired, and iodine is coming more into use as an internal remedy. Either iodized lime or spongia may be used with assurance in non-diphtheritic croup or glandular troubles. The other preparations are available, but are more irritating.
This information written prior to 1900 indicates that efforts were underway to find a consumable form of nascent iodine even then. The product, which was used from 1926 to 1935 and produced by Dr. Sunkar A. Bisey, was recognized as Iodine in the nascent or "atomic" state but never truly accepted by the medical community. After his death in 1935, SunkarBisey's company was sold and passed around until the product seems to have lost its effectiveness by the 1940's. (See a magazine article about Sunkar A. Bisey in Articles)
Scientific Perspective
Dr. Mark Sircus, (See his many Articles about Magnascent Iodine in our Resource Center)
Shield Bearer, Inc. has had a long relationship with Dr. Mark Sircus, providing him his first iodine in the nascent state, as well as providing him with many of the e-mails and stories that people have shared concerning their use of nascent iodine. His extensive writings are the first to describe how and why this iodine is so useful to the body.

Indoor sports facility mooted for Waimakariri district
By DAVID HILL
A state of the art indoor sports facility could be on the horizon for the Waimakariri district.
While it is not part of this year's annual plan, chief executive Jim Palmer says the council will seek feedback from the community on the proposed indoor sports facility.
The facility and kerbside rubbish collection are part of the council's consultation process as it looks ahead to next year's Long Term Plan (LTP).
A $23 million sports facility was signalled in the 2015 LTP with work to begin in 2020, while a three bins kerbside collection proposal was binned in 2015 after public consultation.
"We don't want to go into writing a Long Term Plan with big consultation issues being introduced for the first time because it creates some uncertainties," Mr Palmer says. "We are trying to keep surprises to a minimum."
Mr Palmer says the council wants to know if the community still wants to go ahead with an indoor sports facility, the preferred location and what it might look like.
Four possible locations have been identified, including the council's preferred option on Coldstream Road, next to the new astroturf hockey complex. Other options include building it in Kaiapoi's regeneration area, the Mandeville Domain or Gladstone Park in Woodend.
"Coldstream Road has obvious benefits as it is the nearest to the largest population base in the district, it's central and Rangiora is viewed by 60 percent of the population as the centre of the district," Mr Palmer says.
Mr Palmer says he believes there is still a demand for an indoor sports facility based on difficulties in finding enough venues at the moment, rather than future demand.
"We anticipate the new facility will include more than just basketball courts. It will cater for health and fitness, sports health, sports physiotherapy and other associated health services."
He says if the new facility goes ahead, it will be managed by the North Canterbury Sports and Recreation Trust, which offers a range of programmes for different age groups.
The council will start debating its draft annual plan this week, before public consultation next month.

Protecting Tenants Without Preemption: How State and Local Governments Can Lessen the Impact of HUD's One-Strike Rule
Written By: Robert Van Someren Greve
Under a policy first enacted in 1988 and expanded in 1996, federally funded public housing authorities ("PHAs") and private landlords renting their properties to tenants receiving federal housing assistance have been required to include a provision in all leases under which drug-related criminal activity as well as criminal activity that in any way poses a threat to other tenants or nearby residents constitutes ground for initiating eviction proceedings.1 This strict-liability eviction policy, which has become known as the "One-Strike Rule,"2 was part of a broader congressional effort to combat the "reign of terror" that Congress believed drug dealers were imposing on public-housing and assisted-housing tenants.3 Like many of the crime-related policies enacted in the 1980s and 1990s, the One-Strike Rule has done little to reduce crime rates, but has been wildly successful in ensuring that the situation of poor households receiving federal assistance remains highly precarious.4 Calls for reform of the One-Strike Rule are almost as old as the policy itself, but given the political outlook of the current administration, the prospects for reform at the federal level are dim.5
While federal law and a combination of gridlock and unwillingness in the legislative and executive branches foreclose a range of possible strategies for reform, there is nonetheless room to mitigate the socially corrosive effects of the One-Strike Rule through legislative efforts at the state and local level. Courts in various jurisdictions have upheld state laws that protect vulnerable tenants despite the federal strict-liability policy, and these holdings help to provide a framework for how state and local governments seeking to protect tenants can do so without their efforts necessarily falling prey to the Supremacy Clause.6
This paper describes that framework and proposes three concrete measures that fit it. The paper is structured as follows: After explaining the One-Strike Rule and the threat it poses to vulnerable tenants (Section II), the paper discusses the burden the Rule imposes on tenants and the benefits it is supposed to bring to other parties, and argues that the resulting distribution of burdens and benefits is unjust (Section III). The paper then lays out three concrete measures that state and local governments can enact to protect tenants who face eviction for criminal activity under the Rule that would survive a federal preemption challenge: Requiring "good cause" for eviction, giving tenants the right to cure a breach of their lease, and providing tenants with free counsel in landlord-tenant court (Section IV).

On the history and development of these provisions, see, e.g., Robert Hornstein, Litigating Around the Long Shadow of Department of Housing and Urban Development v.

2. Reference to the policy as a "One-Strike"-rule dates back to President Clinton's 1996 State of the Union address, in which he asserted that, because "[c]riminal gang members and drug dealers are destroying the lives of decent tenants," the new "rule for residents who commit crime and peddle drugs should be 'one strike and you're out.'"

New Study: Healthy Diet Has Greater Benefit for Those Predisposed to Obesity.
Most people presume obesity is a genetic predisposition. They see it as something beyond their control. If their parents were obese, then, "it's in their genes", and there's not much they can do about it. According to new research out of Tulane University and Harvard University stemming from a 20-year study, by adhering to a healthier diet such as the Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 (AHEI-2010) and the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) they might be wrong. The research has found regardless of genetic predisposition to obesity, an individual can decrease their body max index (BMI) and body weight. Additionally, and more importantly for those genetically predisposed to obesity, they found a greater ability to lower BMI and lose weight within this population over those with lower genetic risk. In short, the research found that those genetically predisposed to obesity were more likely to get better results in reducing their BMI and body weight by improving their diet.
Over the course of this 20-year study, the research team looked at several different diets and found the AHEI-2010 and DASH to be the most impactful. They share a lot of commonalities, with the AHEI-2010, encouraging increasing one's intake of vegetables (excluding potatoes), fruits, whole grains, nuts and legumes, long chain fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fats. It recommends a moderate intake of alcohol and a low intake of artificially sweetened drinks and fruit juices, red and processed meats, trans fat and sodium. The DASH diet is similar, in that it encourages a higher intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts and legumes, whole grains, and differently, low fat dairy products, while reducing the intake of artificially sweetened drinks, red and processed meats, and sodium.
However, this research study only looked at the impact of diet and did not take into consideration increasing one's activity levels through exercise. So, the combination of the two, a healthier diet while becoming more physically active, for someone genetically predisposed to obesity could have an even greater impact on reducing their BMI and body weight.

Court News: "Understanding Human Trafficking" Event Gives Attendees Insight into Victims' Struggles to Break Free
Feb 01, 2022 at 03:45 pm by WGNS
The Tennessee Supreme Court Access to Justice Commission partnered with Her Song, Tim Tebow Foundation, on January 31 for an in-person and virtual education event featuring testimony from a human trafficking survivor.
"This young lady, who came to Her Song, endured over a decade of exploitation before she was identified, and, even then, she was criminalized and sent to prison as a direct result of her trafficking," said Janice Johnson, National Legal Advocate for Her Song. "Her Song also shows the restoration, healing and success that can happen when we offer opportunities of a new start. That woman is me."
Johnson bravely shared a real-life human trafficking case study about herself. Five years after leaving that life, she is passionate about helping other women.
"I want others to have the same opportunities and support to live a life past their exploitation," said Johnson, as she choked back tears. "To know that there is help for them to heal from their human trafficking."
Johnson's story highlights the dire need for the criminal justice system to be able to recognize and end human trafficking.

"Human trafficking is a complex problem," Johnson said. "It does not have one answer, one solution. Something this complex takes a village to put a dent into it."
"Some 90% of human trafficking victims emerge from a trafficking situation with a criminal record," said Brent Woody, Executive Director and Lead Attorney for the Justice Restoration Center. "The implications of a criminal record are housing, employment, education and life-sustainability. That and trauma are two of the most significant barriers to recovery for human trafficking victims."
Johnson said prior to the expungement of her criminal charges, she was required to put that information on job applications or explain the charges to employers. It put her in constant fear that an untrustworthy employer would try to take advantage of the fact that she had a prostitution charge.
"One of the things I love to tell myself and other survivors is you tell your story when you want to. It shouldn't be because you have to," Johnson said. "Having to explain something like that because of the amount of charges — I have 26 charges that come up on a criminal background check — that put me in a very dangerous situation. Luckily, Her Song had a lot of partners in the community that were willing to give me an opportunity."
Record expungement under the human trafficking victim expungement law is an important step in helping victims achieve success once they escape the grips of human trafficking. However, more laws are needed.
Residential programs are another necessity. National Residential Director Kelly Posze announced Her Song is expanding residential services in Chattanooga over next three years. "The expansion includes 28 residential program beds and the creation of an online house in the next six months," Posze said.
The Tennessee Supreme Court Access to Justice Commission assisted with event coordination, as Her Song expands its work from Florida into Tennessee. The Commission's mission is to provide collaborative leadership to create solutions and resources to address and eliminate barriers to access to justice.

In any game of word association, the name Philippa Sibley ought to raise the following responses: incredible desserts, including the kind of velvety sorbets that could make you weep if they caught you in a vulnerable moment. Brilliant French cooking blessed with the kind of flair that's born rather than learned. And nomadic. Boy, does the P-Sib move around a lot.
But here she is, apparently very happily ensconced at city old-timer Syracuse and, she avers, not going anywhere. Good news all round. Firstly because she broke out of the pastry chef ghetto two or three restaurants ago (was it Albert Street? Prix Fixe?) and here is doing brilliant stuff, including a soup that would win a soup Oscar, if such a thing existed: a sunshiny bowl that's more like carrot and chervil balm with seared scallops bobbing around in the depths and a marzipan sprinkling of amaretti crumbs. In the freezing depths of a winter that seems to indicate Melbourne is edging ever closer to the Antarctic, it's just perfect.
Con Christopoulos opened Syracuse in this Victorian former bank more than 20 years ago and it remains a bower of power, complete with daily Champagne special and businessmen resting their expensively suited bottoms on red velvet banquettes. Current owners Nancy and Richard Moussi might want to spruce the old girl up a bit: the bones are great but the patterned beige walls are not. Clearly their priorities are in order, however, because any right-thinking person would happily eat Sibley's food in a shipping container.
Things like her mini, glossy-hatted milk buns with herby-sweet basil cream, a farmhouse tumble of radishes and black sea salt; or burrata, posing in a winning Mediterranean tableau with artichoke, green olive, parsley and lemon.
Her heart might be in France but she does a mean risotto: king brown and pine mushrooms and chestnut, goats' cheese and tarragon, grounded in the earthy funk of truffle. If a pork cotoletta (a breaded cutlet) struggles to make a lasting impression, it's testament more to the fabulousness of its bandmates than any fault of its own, although its red cabbage and apple slaw was a little tired at the tail end of the lunch rush.
Dessert? What in most circumstances is an optional extra becomes a necessity. There's none of that crumbs/quenelle/dehydrated something formula here. Rhubarb and beurre noisette tart is an actual – gasp – tart, a gooey, buttery, rich burnt butter frangipane with rhubarb cooked into sweet submission and crowned by rose geranium ice-cream and strawberry sorbet in a loving embrace. Eagle-eyed Sibley fans might recognise it as her signature Snow White and Rose Red in witness protection. Happy homecoming.

U.S. Postal Service reports $4.9 billion 2021 net loss
The United States Postal Service (USPS) on Wednesday reported a net loss of $4.9 billion for the year ending Sept. 30, narrowing its losses over the prior year.
USPS's operating revenue was $77 billion for the 2021 budget year, an increase of $3.9 billion, or 5.3%. It reported a 2020 net loss of $9.2 billion.
Postmaster Louis DeJoy in March announced a plan to cut $160 billion in predicted losses over the next decade. "We have years of inflicted damage to fix that will necessitate us taking some continued uncomfortable actions," DeJoy said on Wednesday.
USPS said shipping and packages revenue increased by $3.5 billion in 2021, or 12.2%, largely driven by the surge in e-commerce resulting from record holiday volume.
First-class mail volumes fell to 50.7 billion pieces in 2021, the lowest number since 1971, and is down 51% since 2001.
USPS has struggled with poor delivery performance over the past year, facing a huge boost in packages and staffing issues due to COVID-19, but DeJoy said the agency was prepared for a busy holiday season. "We are ready," he said.
Last month, the USPS implemented new service standards that slow some first-class mail deliveries as part of efforts to reduce red ink.
The new standards revised one- to three-day service standards to one to five days, impacting about 40% of first-class mail.
In late August, USPS raised prices of first-class stamps to 58 cents from 55 cents.
USPS has reported net losses of nearly $100 billion since 2007. That stems in part from 2006 legislation that required that the agency pre-fund more than $120 billion in retiree healthcare and pension liabilities, a requirement that labor unions have called an unfair burden not shared by other businesses.
Congress is considering a plan to provide USPS with $46 billion in financial relief over 10 years, including eliminating the requirement that USPS pre-fund retiree health benefits for 75 years.
Congress is separately considering awarding USPS $6 billion to purchase electric delivery vehicles and EV infrastructure.

On the heels of the controversial D.C. v. Heller decision which overturned Washington D.C's handgun ban, the Supreme Court has gone further in its support for the second amendment with the McDonald v. Chicago ruling. Both rulings held that the second amendment applies both at the federal and state level.
Which means that, an individual's right to keep handguns at home for self-defense is protected under the constitution. Justice Alito in his majority opinion, wrote that laws which currently prohibit felons or the mentally ill from owning handguns and others which allow regulation of the sale of guns are still permissible. However, an outright ban coming from a city or state government seems to be the line.
The court was split 5-4 with Alito, Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, and Thomas in favor and Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg and Sotomayor against. Justice Stevens wrote a 60 page dissenting opinion arguing for, among other things, judicial restraint. The Court chose to incorporate the 2nd Amendment through the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. However, this decision wasn't with out some dissent even on the majority – Justice Thomas argued in his concurring opinion that incorporation should be under the privileges and immunities clause instead.
Some states go further than the caveats outlined by Justice Alito, such as prohibiting individuals from possessing handguns if they've been charged with crimes other than felonies, such as domestic violence. And while the court does not support an unlimited right to bear arms, without a clear test these laws may come under scrutiny.
Based on the statements coming from Governors' across the country, states seem to be having predictable reactions. Those with more broad based support for gun ownership are welcoming the ruling while states with more restrictive gun laws have concerns. Court analysts and observers expect that this decision will open the floodgates when it comes to firearms related litigation. There may also be implications for search and seizure laws.
The complete case is available here.

$this->request->data['User']['restaurant_name'] = trim($_restaurants[$this->request->data['User']['restaurantid']]);

but i load my restaurant model, somebody help me to solve this problem.

A: "my problem is browser says, there is undefined index: restaurantid,"
Pretty clearly explains that there is no 'restaurantid' key in the $this->request->data['User'] array.  debug() the array, and you'll see it's not there.
debug($this->request->data['User']);

Religion as a Source of Evil
Posted on May 18, 2014 by m.servetus
That religious individuals and institutions have committed great evils in the past is a fact not disputed by most intelligent persons with a good understanding of history. What is disputed is the question of how much evil in history religion has actually been responsible for, and how to weigh that evil against the good that religion has done.
A number of contemporary atheist authors such as Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens focus intensely, even obsessively, on the evils committed by religion. The message of their books is that not only is religion mostly evil, but that most of the evils committed by human beings historically can be attributed to religion and, more broadly, to a deficiency of reason. They point to the role of religion in slavery, massacre, torture, ethnic conflict and genocide, racism, and antisemitism. In response to the argument that secular regimes under the the Nazis and Communists have also been responsible for these same evils, Harris and Hitchens point to the willing collaboration of religious authorities and institutions with the Nazis. Both authors also argue that secular dictatorships suffered from a deficiency of reason similar to that of religious faith. A greater commitment to reason and to evidence as the basis for belief, in their view, would do much to end evils committed by both religious and secular movements and regimes.
There is a good deal of truth to these arguments. The world would be much improved if superstitions and incorrect beliefs about other human beings, ethnic groups, and societies could be eliminated. But ultimately Harris and Hitchens do not seem to understand, or even take interest in, the deeper causes of evil in human beings.
The problem with viewing evil as being simply an outcome of irrationality is that it overlooks the powerful tendency of reason itself to be a tool of self-interest and self-aggrandizement. Human beings commit evil not so much because they are irrational, but because they use reason to pursue and justify their desires. It is the inherent self-centeredness of human beings that is the source of evil, not the belief systems that enable the pursuit and justification of self-interest. Individual and group desires for wealth, power, influence, fame, prestige, and the fear of defeat and shame — these are the causes of social conflict, violence, and oppression.
Harris and Hitchens point to Biblical sanctions for slavery, and imply that slavery would not have existed if it were not for religion. But is it not the case that slavery was ultimately rooted in the human desire for a life of wealth and ease, and that one path to such a life in the pre-industrial era was to force others to work for one's self? Is it not also the case that human conflicts over land were (and are) rooted in the same desire for wealth, and that violent conflicts over social organization have been rooted in clashing visions over who is to hold power? Religion has been implicated in slavery and social conflicts, but religion has not been the main cause.
It is worth quoting James Madison on the perennial problem of oppression and violence:
As long as the reason of man continues [to be] fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. . . .
The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity, according to the different circumstances of civil society. A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning Government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for preëminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other, than to coöperate for their common good. So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions, and excite their most violent conflicts. (Federalist, No. 10)
In Madison's view, religion was but one source of conflict and oppression, which was ultimately rooted in the problem of differing opinions among humans, arising out of human beings' inevitable fallibility and self-love.
A number of contemporary science experiments have demonstrated the truth of Madison's insight. On contentious issues ranging from global warming to gun control, people of greater intelligence tend to be more passionately divided on these issues than people of lesser intelligence, and more likely to interpret evidence in a way that supports the conclusions of the groups to which they belong. Higher intelligence did not lead to more accurate conclusions but a greater ability to interpret evidence in a way that supported pre-existing beliefs and group preferences.
Sam Harris himself displays tendencies toward extreme intolerance in his book that would make one leery of the simple claim that an enthusiastic commitment to reason would do much to end violence and oppression. In his book The End of Faith, Harris declares that "[s]ome propositions are so dangerous that it may even be ethical to kill people for believing them" (pp. 52-53); he calls for imposing a "benign dictatorship" on backward societies as a means of self-defense (pp. 150-51); and he defends the use of torture on both military prisoners and criminal suspects in certain cases (p. 197). Harris even writes dreamily of what might have been if "some great kingdom of Reason emerged at the time of the Crusades and pacified the credulous multitudes of Europe and the Middle East. We might have had modern democracy and the Internet by the year 1600." (p. 109) One can just imagine Sam Harris as the leader of this great "kingdom of Reason," slaughtering, oppressing, and torturing ignorant, superstitious masses, all for the sake of lasting peace and progress. Of course, there is nothing new about this dream. It was the dream of the Jacobins and of the Communists as well, which was a nightmare for all who opposed them.
Edmund Burke, a keen observer of the Jacobin mentality, correctly noted why it was mistaken to believe that abolishing religion would do much to eliminate evil in the world:
History consists, for the greater part, of the miseries brought upon the world by pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy, ungoverned zeal, and all the train of disorderly appetites, which shake the public with the same
'troublous storms that toss
The private state, and render life unsweet.'
These vices are the causes of those storms. Religion, morals, laws, prerogatives, privileges, liberties, rights of men, are the pretexts. The pretexts are always found in some specious appearance of a real good. You would not secure men from tyranny and sedition by rooting out of the mind the principles to which these fraudulent pretexts apply? If you did, you would root out everything that is valuable in the human breast. As these are the pretexts, so the ordinary actors and instruments in great public evils are kings, priests, magistrates, senates, parliaments, national assemblies, judges, and captains. You would not cure the evil by resolving that there should be no more monarchs, nor ministers of state, nor of the Gospel,—no interpreters of law, no general officers, no public councils. You might change the names: the things in some shape must remain. A certain quantum of power must always exist in the community, in some hands, and under some appellation. Wise men will apply their remedies to vices, not to names,—to the causes of evil, which are permanent, not to the occasional organs by which they act, and the transitory modes in which they appear. Otherwise you will be wise historically, a fool in practice. (Reflections on the Revolution in France)
Nevertheless, even if we accept Burke's contention that the evils of religion lie in human nature and not in religion itself, there remains one question: shouldn't we expect more of religion? If religion doesn't make people better, and simply reflects human nature, then what good is it?
To that question, I have to say that I honestly do not know. History offers such a superabundance of both the good and ill effects of religious beliefs and institutions that I cannot fairly weigh the evidence. In addition, widespread atheism is still a relatively new phenomenon in history, so I find it difficult to judge the long-term effects of atheism. It is true that atheist regimes have committed many atrocities, but it is also the case that atheism is widespread in modern European democracies, and those countries are free of massacre and oppression, and have lower crime rates than the more religious United States.
Perhaps we should consider the views of one Christian who personally witnessed the catastrophic capitulation of Christian churches to the Nazi regime in the 1930s and decided to become a dissenter to the Nazi regime and the German Christian establishment that supported the Nazis. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed by the Nazis in the waning days of World War Two, proposed a newly reformed Christianity that would indeed fulfill the role of making human beings better. I will critically evaluate Bonhoeffer's proposal in a future post.

6 thoughts on "Religion as a Source of Evil"
silenceofmind says:
Atheists insist on blaming God and religion for the evil that men do.
Yet atheists completely ignore the fact that the greatest mass murders in history were committed by atheists.
Religion teaches people the virtues necessary for the formation and development of civil society.
Since atheism teaches absolutely nothing and works deliberately and diligently to destroy religion as a cultural good, one can only conclude that atheism is the road to the destruction of civilization.
carmelitaspats666 says:
The great mass murderers? They don't even come close to the sadism, nefarious itching and genocidal depravity of the biblical God and his creepy kid in a loincloth who, according to Christian lore, continues to fry your face extra-crispy, in the afterlife, for the crime of disbelief. I am atheist and I would have been imprisoned under ANY totalitarian regime because as an artist, I am deeply opposed to censorship. I would NOT want to live under ANY totalitarian regime, even one composed of wide-eyed Southern Baptist church ladies in desperate need of tolerable haircuts from a recent decade. Have you ever bothered to investigate what happened to ATHEISTS who opposed Stalin's totalitarian regime or even dared to produce "decadent art" ? Read the debates on aesthetics that took place at the turn of the century under Stalin. ATHEISTS also ended up in the work camps, same as atheists under Chile's very Catholic dictator, Augusto Pinochet. Read about the CATHOLIC dictatorships in Latin America. Do your homework.
Atheism wants to destroy religion? WTF? Virgin births? Superstition does not deserve exemption from skepticism, scrutiny, mockery, ridicule, satire, blasphemy and deep questioning. If your beliefs fall flat, it should tell you something about your beliefs. It is okay to live with unanswered questions, it is never okay to accept unquestioned answers.
Carmel,
The atheists have mass murdered more people in less time than any other force in human history.

The problem with religions is highlighted quite well by silenceofmind – dogmatic support for the tool used by more despots than any other; religion.
Even a cursory examination of the abuse, torture, and pedophilia perpetrated by and hidden by clergy under the guise of protections offered to religion should be enough to show that while free people can believe what they want, the priviledge currently enjoyed by religious organizations must go. It is the shield behind which they hide their heinous acts. If religion is not the primary cause (and I think it is) we should not empower religious organizations with the tools to perpetrate such evils.
I think that it is the primary cause – evil doers will seek the path of least resistance, the path which provides them the most protection. Without that protection they may have felt prohibited enough to remain innocent of the crimes they committed under the shield of the church.
I do not care what people believe when their head hits their pillow at night. I care what they do in the public sphere. Religion protects criminals and it needs to be prevented from this. I suggest they lose their priviledge and fight for the right to exist like any other group of citizens.
on June 5, 2014 at 9:20 pm
The godless have no understanding of evil, since they themselves are knowingly or unknowingly promoting it. God defines good and evil. Man, who is evil, is not able to define it. Atheists think they can judge God, Imagine that? We will all be judged by God, who is holy. All, except those who have received Christ as Savior and have been forgiven of their sins. The Christian has passed from judgment into life. Atheists are backwards.

Over the generations, Ethernet bandwidths have increased from 10 Mbps (Million bits per second) to 10,000 Mbps. Each port on a network switch would be connected to one network device, such as a computer. But to connect a server you need higher bandwidth. For this purpose you could combine multiple Ethernet channels into one.
This process of combining multiple Ethernet channels into one is called port trunking, Ethernet bonding, or link aggregation. Each of these terms refers to exactly the same thing and there are several other terms that are occasionally used.
Some Ethernet switches support combining two switch ports to combine their bandwidth into a single link. Both the Linux and Windows operating system support link aggregation. This is achieved by installing multiple NICs (Network Interface Card) in a system and configuring a built-in bonding driver.

Ted Wolfe is a deep sky stargazer.
Retired executive by day and astrophotographer by night, Wolfe, 83, sees astronomy as more than a hobby. It's been his passion for six decades, yielding photographs that have been published in top astronomy journals and shown at exhibits both locally and nationally, including a one-man show at the Kennedy Space Center. Wolfe's astrophotography column in the Naples Daily News recently ended after a nearly 10-year run.
Wolfe's unique passion began in a surprising place — a park in Cincinnati.
Plan ahead: Where and when to see the Perseid meteor shower
This is M104 - called the "Sombrero." It is a huge galaxy (three times the size of our own galaxy, the Milky Way) and lies 31 million light years away. (1 light year = 6 trillion miles). (Photo: Ted Wolfe)
"Over the years I've learned there are very few things you can or should blame on your wife," Wolfe said mischievously. But his interest in astronomy? Well, his wife, Nancy, gets credit for that.
The pair, at the time in their 20s, was taking an evening stroll when they saw a group of people looking at the night sky through telescopes. Nancy wondered aloud what they might be viewing. Wolfe shrugged. "You probably can't see anything in a small telescope like that," he said. But Nancy persisted, and when Wolfe peeked through the scope he saw an amazing sight — the rings of Saturn.
"Man," he thought, "what have I been missing?"

This is NGC 1365. It's called a "barred" galaxy because it has a prominent reddish colored "bar" running through its middle connecting the major two outer arms. It is twice as large as our own galaxy and lies 56 million light years away. (Photo: Ted Wolfe)
That moment launched his visual journey into space. Starting with a recreational telescope, he moved into space photography, and in 1995 Wolfe started working with a CCD camera. He initially operated his telescope from his Naples home, using a computer to maneuver it robotically. Then, in 2015, he shipped the telescope to the Atacama Desert in Chile.
The Atacama is one of the darkest places on earth and, because of its dry conditions, the sky is rarely marred by clouds. Nineteen astrophotographers from all over the world have their telescopes stationed there. Like Wolfe, they direct the telescopes by computer in their homes. A technician — a French astronomer who is also an engineer — is based in Atacama, and he's able to handle any technical glitches.
"He's not doing anything as long as everything runs right," Wolfe explained. "But he's there if wires get crossed or the software doesn't work or your finder scope slips. There's always something that's going to go wrong."

Each year, Wolfe takes a month off to decide which images he'll capture over the next 11 months and lays out a schedule for himself. His yearly lists are pulled from a master list he's made by collecting ideas from the internet, talking to professionals, reading articles and attending discussions. This master list is sort of like a birder's life list.
Astrophotographers generally fall into three categories — those who do solar work, which involves taking pictures of the sun; those who focus on planetary work; and deep sky specialists, like Wolfe, who search for galaxies, dying stars, nebulas, clusters of stars like the Pleiades and globular clusters which are packed with millions of stars.
"When I moved the scope from Naples down to Chile, that made the whole southern hemisphere skies available to me for the first time," Wolfe said. "Naples is pretty far south, but at our latitude we can't see all the way to the South Pole. When I set up down there, it was like a whole new candy store."

Each day, around 4 or 5 p.m., Wolfe checks the internet to see what the weather will be like at the Atacama site overnight. Clouds of any kind can ruin an image. If the weather looks good with no chance of precipitation, he determines the time he wants to start shooting. Then he selects an object to capture and locates its coordinates. He determines the exposure time — up to 10 minutes, though most photographs average five minutes — and how many exposures to take between the start time and dawn. All of this he plugs into a computer program.
"You press the button at 5 in the evening, you go out and have dinner, come back, maybe watch the Yankee game, turn the program on about 10 o'clock to see how things are going, then turn it on the next morning," Wolfe said.
That next morning, Wolfe examines his photographs, looking for visual objects that might detract from an image, things like elongated stars or plane tracks from a passing jet.
"Maybe a cloud wanders across your object," Wolfe said, "and you have to throw that one out."
Wolfe takes the images that remain and processes them down into a single image using professional astronomy software, stacking them "like blankets on a bed." Stacking reveals more and more detail because there are more photons.
This is NGC 253. It is a galaxy seen "edge-on" and lies about 11.4 million light years away. It is called a "star burst" galaxy because its core region is alive with star birth activity. (Photo: Ted Wolfe)
He keeps his photographs, using the best ones to send to astronomy magazines or publish in his newspaper column. Many are used by professors in astronomy classes, and some he collects for photography exhibits.
Wolfe marvels at his ability as an astrophotographer to capture images from space that would have been unimaginable in the 20th century.
"This whole thing is simply an expression of the times we live in," he said. "This would have been impossible 15 years ago."
With his main telescope in Chile, Wolfe keeps a small recreational telescope on his patio in Naples.
"Just to look at something," he said. "Although I have seen polar caps on Mars."

Reflections on a Crosstown Vista. By Grace Bentley-Scheck. Collagraph, 2015. Image size 12 1/16 x 12 1/16″ (30.7 x 30.7 cm). LINK.
We are excited to announce our upcoming summer show, Light, Shadow & Time, a group of contemporary prints from 16 talented emerging and established printmakers. The prints selected are an eclectic mix, but all explore the patterns found in our natural and manufactured world. Whether by exploring the layering and rearrangement of natural textures or the effect of light and time on a subject, these artists see compositions in the everyday, the fleeting, the organic, and the microscopic. Light, Shadow & Time opens on Friday, May 20 and runs through Saturday, September 10, 2016.
With an important focus on the temporal and ephemeral interplay between architecture and light, Patrick Anderson and James Haggerty create dynamic scenes out of shifting shadows, highlighting the emotive warmth and coolness of light. Similarly, Grace Bentley Scheck's collagraph explores the passage of time "recorded in the marks left by functional changes made in structures over many years, by human design or the elements, and in changing patterns of light and shadow as the sun makes its daily journey across the sky."
Early Morning Light. Patrick Anderson. Serigraph, 2003. Image size 4 1/4 x 4 1/4″ (10.8 x 10.8 cm). LINK.
In a trio of highly patterned, organic collages entitled "Room to Grow" Heather McMordie links the puzzle-like nature of printmaking and geology. Creating three large editions from one woodblock and one lithographic stone, and then drawing on, cutting apart, and piecing together these editions, McMordie takes the composition in as many different directions as possible, paralleling how a combination of just a few elements can create countless different minerals, rocks, and soils. Pattern in nature is further explored in Barbara Milton's dizzying examination of layered tree leaves, Cleo Wilkinsons' haunting portrait of the folds and subtle curves of a hibiscus flower, and Nancy Previs' intimate, mystical composition of water flowing over rough rock, printed in green tint.
All together, the show encourages the viewers to pause, see, and reflect on the spaces, natural or man-made, that they occupy throughout the day.
Selected Artists: Patrick Anderson, Philip Bennet, Grace Bentley Scheck, Steven Brigidi, Richard T. Davis, James Haggerty, Heather McMordie, Barbara Minton, Jake Muirhead, Ilse Schreiber-Noll, Ellen Nathan Singer, Nancy Previs, Steven Walker, Larry Welo, Art Werger, and Cleo Wilkinson.

Old Squaws #2. By Frank W. Benson. Etching, 1921. Ed 150. LINK.
The Old Print Gallery is pleased to announce its new winter show, FEATHERED, which will open on February 19th and run through April 9th, 2016. FEATHERED will celebrate the beauty, power, and reverence of winged animals, captured in prints. Artists have been forever fascinated by birds and their ability to gracefully navigate the open skies on stretched wings, suspended between earth, sky, and water, hopping from perch to perch. FEATHERED showcases the work of three celebrated natural history and ornithological printmakers from the 20th century- Frank W. Benson, H. Emerson Tuttle, and Stow Wengenroth. Each artist offers a unique, distinctive approach to depicting birds is in their prints, which makes for a varied and compelling grouping on the wall.
The prints of Frank W. Benson (1862-1951), nicknamed the father of sporting art, suggest the perspective of a naturalist and bird hunter. His close and watchful examination of a bird's flight path and tendencies in the water offer a firsthand record of nature, gleaned not from dead models in a studio, but from a close familiarity of birds in the wild. Captured in Benson's spare compositions and delicate line work, their vital essence is expressed in the way the birds move through their environment- sunlight and shadows hitting their winged bodies in flight, ripples in water as ducks float through still marshes, traces of a whole flock of birds dotting the horizon.
Aquiline Eagle (Eagle Head). H. Emerson Tuttle. Drypoint, 1937. Ed. 45. LINK.
H. Emerson Tuttle (1890-1946), devoted much of his career to drawing and etching prints of birds, both from life, and using stuffed specimens in his studio. Arresting and commanding, his prints take on the appearance of formal seated portraits. Intricate detail is given to the patterns of feathers, the cock of the head, and oftentimes, the direct gaze of the bird. Tuttle's prints are unswerving and full of personality- his birds take center stage and are only sometimes supported by a background. Tuttle captures their beauty and dynamism with his drypoint needle, imbuing his birds with almost human-like dispositions.
In contrast, Stow Wengenroth (1906-1978) is known for his landscapes, so his birds appear in their expected and rightful place, perched in mottled tree branches, exploring sand dunes, and in flight, weaving among shadows of trees. Birds play a principal part of his New England landscapes, adding movement and breathing life into his lithographic sceneries.

Date: July 7, 2018Author: EurasianTiger 1 Comment
One of probably hundreds of thousands of cases that have been going on for decades, while people mistook the "fetishization" of Asian women as a sign of progress, when it was the exact opposite; and now the children of said couples are coming of age.
The Huffington Post article where he admits that he's a pedophile.
Neo Nazi and pedophile Nathan Larson has a half-Asian daughter with his current wife, a Filipino woman.
The terrifying reality of the racist fetishization of Asian women is that it derives from proximity to blackness, and derives from the white male entitlement towards "traditional," family oriented," non-feminist, conservative, clean women that will not challenge his views on white supremacy and "conservative" family-values – like a white woman will.
Asian women are "cute," clean, smart, intelligent, family oriented, educated, light skinned, calm, stable, peaceful, and civilized alternatives to White feminists, who white men fear lust after black men.
Meaning that when White men began to feel the pressure of the equalization of blackness, and white women began to see black men as potential partners – only then, did Asian women become more "enticing" for white men seeking masculinity by proxy, in a desperate attempt to feel a degree of sexual relevancy and power, and mostly control.
E.g., when the threat of black masculinity began to encroach on white maleness – Asian women became a suitable way to feel "more powerful" and "restore" a traditional, functioning society.
The problem is that people like Nathan don't view the Asian woman as anything other than an accessory towards his masculinity, and will remain antagonistic towards blacks, Jews, Muslims, and yes, Asians – especially Asian men – and especially large numbers of Asians. Hence we find many "anti-immigrants" with Asian wives, because the male desire for sex and validation, overwhelms his ability to properly live by his white-supremacist goals, and so to compensate for his cognitive dissonance (as well as his unhappiness with his low-status wife), he will become even more aggressive and potentially violent – in order to justify his marriage, and to channel his anger at his Asian wife – onto Asians.
This is probably compounded by a sexless or dead bedroom with a wife that becomes more and more depressed with her situation, realizing in time that she is merely the object of a "fetish" from a man who was rejected by white women – and this causes men like Nathan to become even more aggressively white supremacist. Given that Asian women, like others, are NOT sex-toys, and marry primarily for social benefits, the white man can oftentimes be even more disappointed with her lack of attraction to him – causing him to lash out, and become even more hostile towards other couples (especially Asian male / white female couples, that are more sexually compatible).
"Half Asians" will only be accepted in a situation where they are seen as "almost white" in comparison to whites under threat from blacks. Barring that, White people hate Asians, and they hate half-Asians that look too Asian as well.
If you continue to ignore this, as you have, for decades, it is something that western civilization will be reeling from. I am not a jealous Asian man. I do not want Asian women. I am a Eurasian who understands this dynamic. I wanted a happy life. Instead I am doomed to pretty much devote my life to telling anyone who will listen that they're making a tremendous mistake ignoring this and eventually the bubble will pop.
Half Asian children do not look white. We are raised by white-supremacists, de facto white supremacists who simply do not care about anything but ensuring a world where whiteness reigns supreme.

One thought on "Current News: More on Nathan Larson, terrifying Neo-Nazi, admitted pedophile "incel" running for Congress, who advocates for "killing Asian men," and taking of "Vietnamese rape-slaves" to compete with white "feminists" is indeed married to a Filipino woman, and has a biracial daughter."
I heard of this in a Larsen Halleck video. He said that Nathan Larson didn't have any kids with her.
But IDK for sure


Westchester residents, many trying to avoid the hefty tax bill that 2018 promises, are finding themselves in an unforgiving buyers' market.
In Scarsdale alone, prices dipped 5 percent in the first six months of 2018, while Mamaroneck saw a 13 percent drop, according to Bloomberg. The number of homes selling in the county fell 18 percent in the second quarter of 2018, with those asking between $1.5 million to $3 million faring the worst.
The major push factor for sellers to plow ahead despite plummeting prices is the GOP's new tax law which slapped a $10,000 cap on state and local property tax deductions, which means homeowners in areas like Westchester, where property taxes can run up to $50,0000, are feeling a serious crunch.
As a result, the number of homes for sale in Westchester has been increasing: in late June, inventory was up 5 percent compared to last year and, for homes priced between $2-2.5 million, listings were up 26 percent.
With buyers taking a hard line, sellers are being forced to bend, according to her. There are "dramatic price reductions every single day — every hour, pretty much," she told Bloomberg.
Yorktown Heights property attorney Matthew Roach recalled one client who sold his home of 25 years immediately after the GOP's tax law was passed. His home had property taxes over $50,000 and he was planning to move to Brooklyn, pay $10,000 in rent and never buy another home.

The S&P/Case-Shiller and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) released their home price indices for July 2018. National home prices rose at the slowest annual growth rate since June 2014. Moreover, seven metro areas experienced home price declines in July.
The Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, reported by S&P Dow Jones Indices, rose at a seasonally adjusted annual growth rate of 1.9% in July. It was the lowest seasonally adjusted annual growth rate since June 2014. The Home Price Index, released by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.7% in April, slower than the 3.7% increase in June, confirming the deceleration in home prices for this month.
Among the 20 metro areas, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Cleveland had the highest home price appreciation. Las Vegas led the way with 14.6%, followed by San Francisco with 11.4% and Cleveland with a 9.3% increase. Eleven out of the 20 metro areas had higher home price appreciation than the national level of 1.9%. In July, thirteen metro areas had positive home price appreciation while seven metro areas had negative home price appreciation, including San Diego (-0.2%), Detroit (-0.2%), Los Angeles (-0.5%), Dallas (-1.6%), Chicago (-1.8%), Boston (-2.4%) and New York (-5.5%).

Stream 7uca's New EP 'Ok, It's Not Funny Anymore.'
After a short hiatus, 7uca is back with an experimental eight-track EP.
May 11,2016 No Comments
After the release of his LP Pink City, Motel in October, it seemed as if 7uca was prepared to present himself to the world. The album caught the attention of many, but for anyone trying to come up in this era, there has to be more to give than just the music itself. And while the momentum was on 7uca's side, he went silent without anything to hold the interest of his day one and newfound fans. Sure, it's easy to call it disappointing, but there's surely no need to be concerned. Apparently, 7uca's absence has been attributed to him working on new music for 2016. His first release of the year isn't a lone single as the warm up — it's a new EP.
The eight-track project Ok, It's Not Funny Anymore displays 7uca's range at its best. Playing around with different sounds, 7uca's versatility meshed with his creative side once again proves he's a force to be reckoned with. Whether it's the trunk-rattling "West Virginia Freestyle" or the jazzy "I'm Learning To Accept," OINFA has a bit of everything in a small offering of what's to come. And similar to his previous projects, he's able to piece it all together and create a cohesive and interesting story — that's the best part. There's nothing 7uca can't do, which makes the EP feel almost effortless. OINFA serves well as the first drop from 7uca, but let's all hope there's more on the way. We're all ready for 7uca to make his mark.
Stream Ok, It's Not Funny Anymore above and make sure to keep up with 7uca for updates here.

I always thought losing weight meant you had to restrict the amount of food you ate. My body was hungry! It needed food!! Once I started eating more and getting the proper amounts of protein, fat, & carbohydrates, the weight started slowly coming off! My coach has helped me become more comfortable with food and using it as fuel and not punishment.
Although I came from an athletic background, I had become increasingly sedentary and my diet was out of control, which was causing me to steadily gain weight. At first, I could tell the daily exercise was helping my overall health, but I wasn't completely satisfied with my fitness level. I would spend one hour working hard in the gym, only to sabotage my progress with a bad diet throughout the rest of the day. I was trying, unsuccessfully, to out-train my unhealthy lifestyle. One hour of discipline a day just wasn't going to cut it.
Eventually I realized that I should put the same effort into my lifestyle that I put into my workouts. I sought nutrition advice from Coach Dusty and followed his instructions. At first it wasn't easy, but I trusted my coach and stuck to it. I started to learn how to view food as it affected my overall health and performance. Over time, the process became easier and I started to see significant results. My body fat dropped, and I gained lean muscle. Best of all, my workouts were better than ever before. I never realized how great a workout could feel when your body is properly fueled to perform. At 28, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and I can't wait to see where I go from here!
A delicious, healthy lifestyle is within your reach. Subscribe today to start eating amazing food that makes you feel wonderful.
