PARIS: In 1951 a quiet village in southern France was suddenly and mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died, dozens were committed to asylums and hundreds afflicted.
For decades it was assumed that the local bread had been unwittingly poisoned with a psychedelic mould. Now an even more extraordinary explanation has emerged, with evidence suggesting the CIA peppered food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD as part of a mind-control experiment at the height of the Cold War.
The mystery of Le Pain Maudit ("The Cursed Bread") still haunts Pont-Saint-Esprit, in the Gard, south-east France. On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants suddenly suffered frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire.
One man tried to drown himself, screaming his belly was being eaten by snakes. An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother. Another man shouted, "I am a plane", before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 45 metres. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to put it back. Many were taken to the asylum in straitjackets.
Time magazine wrote at the time: "Among the stricken, delirium rose: patients thrashed wildly on their beds, screaming that red flowers were blossoming from their bodies, that their heads had turned to molten lead."
Eventually, it was determined that a baker had unwittingly contaminated his flour with ergot, a hallucinogenic mould that infects rye grain. Another theory was that the bread had been poisoned with mercury.
However, H.P. Albarelli jnr, an investigative journalist, claims the outbreak resulted from a covert experiment directed by the CIA and the US army's top-secret Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
(mental note: Fort Detrick is the same facility that the stolen vials of anthrax came from)
The scientists who produced both the theories of accidental poisoning, he writes, worked for the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying the US army and CIA with LSD.
Mr Albarelli came across CIA documents while investigating the suicide of Frank Olson, a biochemist working for the Special Operations Division who fell from a 13th floor window two years after the cursed bread incident. One note transcribes a conversation between a CIA agent and a Sandoz official who mentions the "secret of Pont-Saint-Esprit" and explains that it was not "at all" caused by mould but by diethylamide, the D in LSD.
While compiling his book, A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments, Albarelli spoke to former colleagues of Olson, two of whom told him that the Pont-Saint-Esprit incident was part of a mind-control experiment run by the CIA and US army.
During the 1950s, the US launched a vast research program into the mental manipulation of prisoners and enemy troops.
Scientists at Fort Detrick told him that agents had sprayed LSD into the air and also contaminated "local food products".
Albarelli said the "smoking gun" was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses. It contained the names of French citizens who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the "Pont St. Esprit incident".
In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Albarelli says, the army also drugged more than 5700 unwitting US servicemen between 1953 and 1965.
None of his sources would say if the French secret services were aware of the alleged operation.
People in Pont-Saint-Esprit still want to know why they were hit by such apocalyptic scenes.
"At the time people brought up the theory of an experiment aimed at controlling a popular revolt," said Charles Granjoh, 71.
"I almost kicked the bucket," he told a French magazine. "I'd like to know why."

Obama Advisor: BAN Conspiracy Theories Against U.S. Government
Sunstein: Taxation and censorship of dissenting opinions "will have a place" under thought police program advocated in 2008 white paper
The controversy surrounding White House information czar and Harvard Professor Cass Sunstein's blueprint for the government to infiltrate political activist groups has deepened, with the revelation that in the same 2008 dossier he also called for the government to tax or even ban outright political opinions of which it disapproved.
Sunstein was appointed by President Obama to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an agency within the Executive Office of the President.
On page 14 of Sunstein's January 2008 white paper entitled "Conspiracy Theories," the man who is now Obama's head of information technology in the White House proposed that each of the following measures "will have a place under imaginable conditions" according to the strategy detailed in the essay.
1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing.
2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.
That's right, Obama's information czar wants to tax or ban outright, as in make illegal, political opinions that the government doesn't approve of. To where would this be extended? A tax or a shut down order on newspapers that print stories critical of our illustrious leaders?
And what does Sunstein define as "conspiracy theories" that should potentially be taxed or outlawed by the government? Opinions held by the majority of Americans, no less.
The notion that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in killing JFK, a view shared by the vast majority of Americans in every major poll over the last ten years, is an example of a "conspiracy theory" that the federal government should consider censoring, according to Sunstein.
A 1998 CBS poll found that just 10 per cent of Americans believed that Oswald acted alone, so apparently the other 90 per cent of Americans could be committing some form of thought crime by thinking otherwise under Sunstein's definition.
Sunstein also cites the belief that "global warming is a deliberate fraud" as another marginal conspiracy theory to be countered by government action. In reality, the majority of Americans now believe that the man-made explanation of global warming is not true, and that global warming is natural, according to the latest polls.
But Sunstein saves his most ludicrous example until last. On page 5 he characterizes as "false and dangerous" the idea that exposure to sunlight is healthy, despite the fact that top medical experts agree prolonged exposure to sunlight reduces the risk of developing certain cancers.
To claim that encouraging people to get out in the sun is to peddle a dangerous conspiracy theory is like saying that promoting the breathing of fresh air is also a thought crime. One can only presume that Sunstein is deliberately framing the debate by going to such absurd extremes so as to make any belief whatsoever into a conspiracy theory unless it's specifically approved by the kind of government thought police system he is pushing for.
Despite highlighting the fact that repressive societies go hand in hand with an increase in "conspiracy theories," Sunstein's 'solution' to stamp out such thought crimes is to ban free speech, fulfilling the precise characteristic of the "repressive society" he warns against elsewhere in the paper.
"We could imagine circumstances in which a conspiracy theory became so pervasive, and so dangerous, that censorship would be thinkable," he writes on page 20. Remember that Sunstein is not just talking about censoring Holocaust denial or anything that's even debatable in the context of free speech, he's talking about widely accepted beliefs shared by the majority of Americans but ones viewed as distasteful by the government, which would seek to either marginalize by means of taxation or outright censor such views.
No surprise therefore that Sunstein has called for re-writing the First Amendment as well as advocating Internet censorship and even proposing that Americans should celebrate tax day and be thankful that the state takes a huge chunk of their income.
The government has made it clear that growing suspicion towards authority is a direct threat to their political agenda and indeed Sunstein admits this on page 3 of his paper.
That is why they are now engaging in full on information warfare in an effort to undermine, disrupt and eventually outlaw organized peaceful resistance to their growing tyranny.
Sunstein's Paper Provides More Evidence COLINTELPRO Still Operational
Cass Sunstein's white paper, entitled "Conspiracy Theories," is an exclamation point in the latest chapter of a long history of government tyranny against citizens who organize in opposition to the government. Sunstein argues that individuals and groups deviating from the official government narrative on a number of political issues and events are a national security threat. The administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs formulates "a plan for the government to infiltrate conspiracy groups in order to undermine them via postings on chat rooms and social networks, as well as real meetings, according to a recently uncovered article Sunstein wrote for the Journal of Political Philosophy," writes Paul Joseph Watson.
FDR, an icon for many liberals, sent the FBI after citizens who opposed his war policies.
Sunstein's plan is a reformulation of a long-standing effort to subvert the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. Concerted government attacks against organized political opposition began soon after the founding of the republic — specifically with the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 by the Federalists — but have gained critical momentum in the modern era.
During the First World War, the government created the Bureau of Investigation, predecessor to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and appointed J. Edgar Hoover as its head. Hoover's Bureau of Investigation, with the assistance of police and the military — described as a "citizens auxiliary" — conducted mass raids against the anti-war movement of the time, according to documents released by the Church Committee in the 1970s. The Bureau, specifically designed as a national political police force, "rounded up some 50,000 men without warrants of sufficient probable cause for arrest" for the crime of opposing the First World War.
In 1920, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer conducted a massive program in 33 cities and rounded up over 10,000 people. The Church Committee report (p.384) talks of "the abuses of due process of law incident to the raids." According to Robert Preston (Aliens And Dissenters), the Palmer Raids involved "indiscriminate arrests of the innocent with the guilty, unlawful seizures by federal detectives" and other violations of constitutional rights. The Church Committee (p.385) "found federal agents guilty of using third-degree tortures, making illegal searches and arrests, using agents provocateurs." Palmer and Hoover found no evidence of a proposed Bolshevik revolution as they claimed but a large number of the rounded up suspects continued to be held without trial.
The Second World War brought a new wave of government terrorism against political opponents. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a 1940 issued a memorandum giving the FBI the power to use warrantless wiretaps against suspected subversives, that is to say activists opposed to U.S. involvement in the war. FDR not only unleashed the FBI on activists, but concerned citizens as well. After giving a speech on national defense in 1940, FDR had his press secretary, Stephen Early, send Hoover the names of 128 people who had sent telegrams to the White House criticizing the address. "The President thought you might like to look them over," Early's note instructed Hoover.
Following the Second World War, the government engineered the immensely profitable (for the military-industrial complex) Cold War and the attendant Red Scare. In 1956, the FBI established COINTELPRO, short for Counter Intelligence Program. COINTELPRO was ostensibly manufactured to counter communist subversion, but as a numerous documents reveal the program focused almost exclusively on domestic opposition to government policies.
The Church Committee explains that COINTELPRO "had no conceivable rational relationship to either national security or violent activity. The unexpressed major premise of much of COINTELPRO is that the Bureau has a role in maintaining the existing social order, and that its efforts should be aimed toward combating those who threaten that order."
"This is a rough, tough, dirty business, and dangerous," former Assistant to Director Hoover, William C. Sullivan, told the Church Committee. "No holds were barred."
This "rough, tough, dirty business" included infiltration of political groups, psychological warfare, legal harassment, and extralegal force and violence. "The FBI and police threatened, instigated and conducted break-ins, vandalism, assaults, and beatings. The object was to frighten dissidents and disrupt their movements," write Mike Cassidy and Will Miller. "They used secret and systematic methods of fraud and force, far beyond mere surveillance, to sabotage constitutionally protected political activity. The purpose of the program was, in FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's own words, to 'expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit and otherwise neutralize' specific groups and individuals."
After the Church Committee exposed COINTELPRO, the government claimed it had dismantled the program. However, in the 1980s, the Reagan administration legalized the tactics by signing Executive Order 12333.
"There is every reason to believe that even what was not legalized is still going on as well. Lest we forget, Lt. Col. Oliver North funded and orchestrated from the White House basement break-ins and other 'dirty tricks' to defeat congressional critics of U.S. policy in Central America and to neutralize grassroots protest. Special Prosecutor Walsh found evidence that North and Richard Secord (architect of the 1960s covert actions in Cambodia) used Iran-Contra funds to harass the Christic Institute, a church-funded public interest group specializing in exposing government misconduct," Cassidy and Miller continue.
In addition, North worked with FEMA to develop contingency plans for suspending the Constitution, establishing martial law, and holding political dissidents in concentration camps. Since the false flag attacks of September 11, 2001, the government has worked incessantly to fine tune plans to impose martial law. It has also worked to federalize and militarized law enforcement around the country.
Brian Glick (War at Home) argues that COINTELPRO is a permanent feature of the government. "The record of the past 50 years reveals a pattern of continuous domestic covert action," Glick wrote in the 1990s. "Its use has been documented in each of the last nine administrations, Democratic as well as Republican. FBI testimony shows 'COINTELPRO tactics' already in full swing during the presidencies of Democrats Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman. COINTELPRO itself, while initiated under Eisenhower, grew from one program to six under the Democratic administrations of Kennedy and Johnson… After COINTELPRO was exposed [by the Church Committee], similar programs continued under other names during the Carter years as well as under Nixon, Ford, and Reagan. They have outlived J. Edgar Hoover and remained in place under all of his successors."
Sunstein's call for authoritarian action against government critics — including outright censorship in addition to the established tactics mentioned above — reveals that COINTELPRO has indeed outlived Hoover.
"Some conspiracy theories create serious risks. They do not merely undermine democratic debate; in extreme cases, they create or fuel violence," writes Sunstein. "Even if only a small fraction of adherents to a particular conspiracy theory act on the basis of their beliefs, that small fraction may be enough to cause serious harms."
Sunstein's analysis dovetails with that of the Department of Homeland Security. In its now infamous report on "rightwing extremism," the DHS insists members of the constitutionalist movement (including Libertarians and advocates of the Second Amendment) are not only violent but also virulent racists (a conclusion provided pre-packaged by the ADL and the SPLC).
If realized, Cass Sunstein's call for outright censorship and the absurd proposal to impose fines and taxes on people who hold political views contrary to those of our rulers will naturally result in a redoubling of political activity on the part of the truth movement (specifically mentioned as "kooks" by Sunstein) and Libertarians and Constitutionalists.
As history repeatedly demonstrates, when faced with a strong and determined political opposition government invariably turns to more brutal and violent methods to enforce its will. Our rulers understand this and that is why they are hurriedly finishing their high-tech police and surveillance grid.

Army uses "Calmatives", non-lethal Chemical Weapons

The US Army's XM1063 projectile is designed to be 'non-lethal' – but is it peaceful or hovering on the brink of illegality?
Is the XM1063 a stink bomb, a banana skin, or a bad trip? It's hard to know. XM1063 is the code name for the US army's new secret weapon which will "suppress" people without harming them, as well as stopping vehicles in an area 100m square. But is it a violation of chemical weapons treaties, or a welcome move towards less destructive warfare using non-lethal weapons?
Exactly how it works is classified, but we have established some details. The first part of the weapon is an artillery round – or as the army puts it, "a non-lethal personal suppression projectile" – fired from a 155mm howitzer, with a range of 28km. It scatters 152 small non-explosive submunitions over a 1-hectare area; as each parachutes down, it sprays a chemical agent. Development was overseen by the US Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Centre (Ardec).
A presentation by the makers, General Dynamics, says the XM1063 will "suppress, disperse or engage personnel" and "deny personnel access to, use of, or movement through a particular area, point or facility" (=see PDF).
Smelling it out
Experts suggest three possible payloads: an existing riot-control agent, malodorants or a new chemical agent. Existing agents include CS gas and a form of pepper spray. But these seem unlikely choices, because their effects only last minutes, and could wear off before friendly forces arrive. They could also face a legal challenge: the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention prohibits the use of riot control agents in warfare
"The matter is further complicated if pepper gas was used as the irritant since this is a plant toxin," says Steve Wright of Leeds Metropolitan University. "Such toxins are explicitly banned."
The possibilities seem to boil down to anti-traction agents (which make the whole area impossibly slippery), a malodorant or some novel chemical agents.
Anti-traction agents are possible, but seem unlikely because research in this area (such as Darpa's Black Ice program) still seems to be at an early stage. It would be unusual for an agency to still be doing basic research when another is about to field a finished product.
A malodorant is a super stinkbomb with a truly intolerable smell. The Pentagon has been working on such chemicals for years, and a recent US army briefing on future artillery concepts specifically mentions artillery-delivered malodorants. (see PDF)
This might sidestep the Chemical Weapons Convention with the argument that malodorants are not chemical weapons. However, Ralf Trapp, an independent disarmament consultant formerly with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, challenges this interpretation.
"That argument rests on the assumption that there are no other toxic effects of these chemicals, and that one can control the dose so that one never crosses into the dose range for toxic effects," says Trapp. "It also is based a concept of toxicity that is centuries out of date – malodorants do have a physiological effect and toxicity is not limited to lethality."
Finally, there is the possibility that the US has decided to ignore the convention and use new non-lethal chemical agents. This approach has supporters in high places. Before the Iraq war in 2003, Donald Rumsfeld pushed for rules of engagement that would allow US forces to use non-lethal chemicals.
Until the 1980s, the US maintained stockpiles of a chemical incapacitant known as BZ or Agent Buzz. BZ is a psychoactive chemical causing stupor, confusion and hallucinations lasting for more than 24 hours. It has an evil reputation, but this is based largely on rumour as few facts are available. Most people have only heard of BZ in connection with the film Jacob's Ladder. This depicted soldiers exposed to a secret chemical weapon in Vietnam with terrible results, including permanent psychosis.
"We are reaping the whirlwind today because of government secrecy in the past," says Jim Ketchum, who ran the BZ testing program in the 1960s. "It has allowed critics to make unsupportable claims about agents such as BZ without rejoinder from the government research community." Although the US is known to have been active in this area since 2000, no comments are available from researchers on non-lethal chemical agents – now termed "calmatives", whatever their chemical action.
Ketchum has written a book, Chemical Warfare Secrets Almost Forgotten, about his experiences of testing BZ on hundreds of volunteers. The effects are very different to those portrayed by Hollywood. None suffered physical harm, mental breakdown or any lasting after-effects. Rather than driving subjects berserk, it has a sedative action. But unlike the fentanyl used in 2002 by Russian police when they stormed a Moscow theatre where Chechen rebels were holding hostages, BZ does not rely on sedation for its effects and does not carry the same risk.
Clouding the issue
Ketchum is now retired, and his successors have had decades to develop more effective and safer agents. But strict secrecy is still in place and there is no information about current research. Ketchum argues that the use of incapacitants would save lives, especially in situations where insurgents are mixed with the civilian population. Others believe that such agents are not just illegal but a step towards unlimited chemical weapons.
"It shouldn't be forgotten that the horrors of gas warfare in the first world war began with teargas, followed up with lethal firepower," says Wright.
As a sideline, the XM1063 projectile also has a "vehicle area denial" component composed of nanoparticles. The US army has researched chemicals to interefere with engine combustion in the past, including work with ferrocene (normally used as an anti-knock additive) which prevent engines from working, with the idea is that this would stop any vehicle within the affected area. However, the potential health risks are unknown, especially when nanoparticles are involved.
Testing of the XM1063 was completed successfully last year and it is due for low-rate production from 2009. Ardec says that the production decision is on hold awaiting further direction from the program manager. It seems the decision on whether to enter a new age of chemical warfare now rests with the military rather then civilians. Unless put under pressure, the US Army seems unlikely to give any details of what's in the surprise package until it is used. And maybe not even then.

What happens if a burglar cuts your landline phone, your home experiences a power outage, or you lose Internet connectivity?
Will your home security system still offer you protection?
It depends on how your system is configured and whether backups are in place to ensure uninterrupted monitoring. We recommend cellular backup for all systems installed, as a preventative measure.
This way, even if your power, telephone or Internet connection is interrupted, your monitoring service won't be.
Without backups in place, there are numerous ways you could lose connectivity to your home security monitoring station—bad weather, fire, vandalism, etc. All it takes is for something to become unplugged or damaged.
If this happens, then your system is unable to send the notifications necessary to alert police and fire in the event of an emergency. Your system is basically rendered useless until the phone line or Internet comes back on; this is not a risk worth taking.
Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, ensure 24/7, continuous monitoring with a backup security plan, just in case.
A cellular security system gets rid of physical, onsite wires, eliminating the chance that wires could be cut or damaged. It also does not require a phone or Internet connection. Rather, it operates wire-free through a dedicated cellular network (not your current cell phone). It is the safest and most reliable form of security monitoring.
For this reason, cellular is an excellent choice as your primary connection or as a backup for landline and Internet-based systems. Should your primary connectivity go down for any reason, your cellular backup will kick in, communicating with the monitoring center for complete, uninterrupted coverage.
Avoid an unhappy ending, and put backup contingencies in place to protect yourself now, instead of questioning why you didn't later.
Not sure if your system has a backup installed? Contact Vector Security to discuss.

Smart connected devices are here to stay. In any house you will find smartphones, laptops, PC's, tablets, televisions, game consoles, etc. all of which require a good and strong Wi-Fi and network connectivity. A Wi-Fi router is possibly the most important piece of equipment that will bring all of these devices together. A router is responsible for the speeds and connectivity within your network and therefore your perfect router will depend on these needs. Read our router buying guide to understand the technology, which models to buy and decide which one is right for you.
Perfect for: Large houses, small offices, places with many devices and users.
The TP-Link Archer C7 (v2) is a AC 1750, 802.11ac, dual band, three stream router that is a brilliant all-rounder. It has an amazing range and delivers great performance. This dual-band router supports a theoretical speed of 450Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 1,300 Mbps on 5GHz. The router comes 6 antennas – 3 internal 2.4 GHZ and 3 external 5 GHZ antennas for providing excellent range on both frequencies. It comes with 4 Full Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 USB ports for connectivity and is packed with advanced features like guest network mode, USB file sharing, media streaming and parental controls. The C7 is faster and covers large areas better than many more expensive routers. It's good for larger apartments, small offices and any other place where there are many wired users / devices, where internal bandwidth and wireless streaming and file sharing is a priority.
Perfect for: Places with many devices, smaller spaces. Similar to C7 but with lesser range and bandwidth.
A step down from the C7, the TP-Link Archer C5 is a AC 1200, 802.11ac, dual band that has comparatively lesser bandwidth and range. This dual-band router supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz. It has only 2 external antennae and the 2.4 GHz has good range but the 5 GHz drops significantly outside the same room. Apart from the lesser bandwidth and range the router is very similar to the C7. It comes with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 USB ports for connectivity and is packed with advanced features like guest network mode, USB file sharing, media streaming and parental controls. It's good for smaller apartments, small offices and any other place where there are many wired users/devices. If wireless bandwidth not the biggest priority, then the Archer C5 should be perfect for your needs.
Perfect for: Places with many devices, smaller spaces, lesser peripherals.
Netgear's R6220 combines good 802.11ac performance, useful parental controls and excellent software for an affordable price. This AC 1200, dual-band router, supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz. It has 2 non-replaceable external antennas. The 2.4 GHz has good range but the 5 GHz drops significantly outside the same room. It comes with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports and while the other overall specifications are similar to the Archer C5, there is only one USB 2.0 port – which effectively means you can only connect either a printer or a hard disk at the same time. If that is not an issue, this is a great buy.
Perfect for: Places with smaller spaces, less wired requirements, lesser connected devices and people.
If you are looking for a step above a basic router, want dual-band for basic streaming purposes, the Archer c50 won't disappoint. The Archer C50 is a AC 1200, 802.11ac, dual-band router, supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz. It has 2 non-replaceable external antennas. The 2.4 GHz has good range but the 5 GHz drops significantly outside the same room. The Ethernet slots are not full gigabit which means wired Lan file-transfers, etc will be slow.
Perfect for: Small houses needing basic Wi-Fi.
For those looking for a router on a really small budget, the TP-LINK TL-WR841N provides just that. The router is a single band 802.11n router, supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. There are no USB Ports and advanced features. For those looking for a basic router for Wi-Fi connectivity, this might be enough. It's a single band router and has much smaller range than the higher-end routers mentioned above. However, if you live in a small apartment and don't depend on your router for heavy streaming media use or multiple devices, this might be enough.
What are the benefits of a more expensive Router ?
You might ask why do we need powerful routers capable of 1750 mbps when your broadband connection itself is say 10 mbps? That's true and having a high capacity router will not impact internet speeds in any way. A router with 17500/1200/300mbps would only affect transfer speeds between computers and devices on the same network. Expensive routers give you dual-WiFi bands, stronger signals with more reach, better connectivity options and more advanced software features. A better router will also handle multiple devices much better since they have better processors and more memory. If you have multiple people streaming wirelessly a better router will be able to handle it better. You also get Dual-band which helps if you are facing interference in the 2.4 Ghz band (more below). More expensive routers give you powerful antennas which helps the signal go farther – especially helpful if you have many walls and dead zones in your house. They also give you full gigabit ethernet which is great if you have multiple computers connected via LAN.
1. Your Router is more than 3 years old – Router technology has come a long way since then and newer devices are compatible with newer standards like 802.11AC which allow for faster speeds.
2. You have areas in the house where there is no Wi-Fi signal – If you are finding dead spots in your house where you are not getting signal, a router with powerful antennas might help.
3. You wish to attach a printer or a common hard disk with media for all to access – More expensive routers have more connectivity options like USB ports which help you to wirelessly connect devices.
4. If you are finding that you are facing connection drops and frequent disconnections it might be because you have a old router with lesser processing capabilities or one which is overheating. It is also possible that your single band – 2.4 GHz has a lot of interference. This is also the radio band used by your neighbors routers, cordless phones, microwaves etc. and can get congested.
6. You have a small office with many users and shared PC's and want to have security features such as a "Guest Mode".
Apart from additional features such as parental controls, file sharing and printer sharing, you also benefit in other ways – moving big files between two computers in your home, streaming stability and buffering, multiple device connections all are handled better by newer and more powerful routers. If you are streaming HD video from your hard-disk or copying files, you will enjoy the additional bandwidth. Also if there are multiple users and they are simultaneously accessing media files or playing online games, having a powerful router will mean no shortage of internal wireless bandwidth.
How to decide which router is best for me?
When choosing a new router, you should consider the size of your coverage area, and the number of users, as well as the types of devices that will connect to the router. The type of router you need will depend on which Internet provider you are using. Typically if you are with MTNL or BSNL – getting internet via your phone line, you will need a need a router with ADSL ports. If you have 'cable' broadband, you need a 'cable' router, i.e. one without a built-in modem with a RJ45 WAN port. If you don't mind having 2 routers, one great way is to connect a basic ADSL router to your main router and let your main router do the hard work of delivering Wi-fi. That way you don't need to change the main router even if you change your service provider.
Once you know the type of router you need, it's then a case of deciding how much to spend and the technology you want.
What are the different types of routers and which one should I look at?
It seems like the Router market runs on the principle of "if you cant convince them, confuse them". Buying the most expensive router with the biggest numbers need not be the best decision. There are a lot of confusing terminologies thrown around when it comes to a router. Here a basic guide to the specifications you should look out for.
1. Single, dual-band or tri-band routers? Single band routers operate on one wireless frequency only (the 2.4GHz band). This is also the radio band used by your neighbors routers, cordless phones, microwaves etc. and can get congested. Dual-band routers transmit data over both the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band. With a dual-band router, you can browse the internet on the 2.4GHz band while streaming HD movies on the 5GHz band and neither band gets overloaded. That said a single band is enough if you are only going to surf the web and have no interference. Then there are tri-band routers. These have three radios—one that operates at 2.4GHz and two that operate at 5GHz. These models are a good for multi-device households that experience heavy network traffic due to lots of video streaming, downloading, file transfers, online gaming, etc.
2. Class of Routers (802.11 a,b,g,n,ac) – Wireless Ethernet networks use 802.11 protocols to send and receive data. Routers are classified according to the wireless standard on which they're based – for example 802.11b or 802.11g. The first generation of wireless routers was 'b', followed by 'g' which were limited to data transfer rates of 11Mbps and 54Mbps. This was followed by then 'n' which allows for maximum data rates of up to 600Mbps and operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. 802.11ac was finalised in 2013 and you will find it today in every major smartphone, laptop and desktop computer and smart television. The newest class of Wi-Fi routers use 802.11ac technology, which are faster, dual-band have a wider channel bandwidth. They support speeds up to 3200 mbps, support longer ranges, newer technologies like beamforming and multiple input/multiple output (multi-user MIMO) among other features.
Even if you may not use these, Wireless AC is already 3 years old technology and it will be the standard for the near future. There is no reason to not by a Wireless AC router.
To further complicate things there are sub-types of each class with numbers which show an indicative speed capacity of the router. The N series starts at N150 and goes up to N900 while the AC580 starts at 580 mbps and goes up to AC5300. Again this is the maximum theoretical capacity of the router and an N900 AC means 450 mbps in 2.5 GHz and 450 mbps in 5 GHz and the AC1750 is 450 mbps at 2.4 GHz and 1300 mbps at 5 GHz. These figures differ from model to model. Also remember that 1300 mbps at 5ghz is only an indicative theoretical figure and the actual speeds will be much lower than that depending on distance, interference, walls etc.
TLDR – Buy a dual band wireless AC router if you have many devices or want to stream HD content.
So how did we go about our Router picks?
We shortlisted the top routers which are dual band and support wireless AC. We then decided to look at the features like USB connections, parental control, guest mode,etc. We then cross checked it with expert reviews and user feedback. Some of the biggest problems highlighted by users were range issues and Wi-Fi blank spots in the house. We thus recommended routers with high gain antennas and good powerful signal.
Perfect for: Places with many devices or users – large houses, small businesses.
TP-Link Archer C7 (v2) is a AC 1750, 802.11ac, dual band, three stream router that is a brilliant all-rounder. It has an amazing range and delivers great performance. This dual-band router supports up to a theoretical speed of 450Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 1,300 Mbps on 5GHz. The C7 is faster and covers large areas better than many more expensive routers. It's good for larger apartments, small offices and any other place where there are many users and devices.
The Archer C7 is fast and provides very good wireless coverage. It works well on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequencies and is powerful enough to support many users at once.
The front has the usual LED's and the rear panel has two USB 2.0 ports, which support printers and external drives. On the back are four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Gigabit WAN port. With four Ethernet ports, you can connect many peripherals like gaming systems or desktop computers and free Wi-Fi bandwidth. Connected USB drives can be designated as file, FTP, or media servers. The interface also allows you to enable a printer server with a USB printer connected to the router. Two USB ports also lets you use printers or hard drive wireless, for cable-free printing and media sharing. A built-in DLNA media server lets you stream media directly from USB-connected hard disk to your DLNA compatible devices. It would have been nice to have USB 3.0, but it isn't really that big an issue. There is also a wireless on/off switch which lets you switch off wireless and turns the router into a wired one when needed. This may come in handy if you only wish to connect it to a PC while keeping wireless off.
The C7 has a 720-MHz processor and 128MB of RAM which while not the fastest in the market doesn't really seem to affect performance. The Archer C7 is also IPv6 ready too, and offers a guest network to keep your files private. You can control the timings of these guest networks and you can also limit the total bandwidth that guests can use.
The device is bulky and comes with 3 sturdy, detachable antennas. Besides the external antennas, the C7 also has three internal antennas. This hardware configuration probably contributed to the good wireless range I found in testing this device.
You dont get QOS, MU-MIMO, iTunes server or VPN server features. However, you do get, USB file sharing, media streaming, parental controls, and guest networks.
A step down from the C7, the TP-Link Archer C5 is a AC 1200, 802.11ac, dual band that has slightly lesser bandwidth and range. This dual-band router supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz. It has only 2 external antennae.
Apart from the lesser bandwidth and range the router is very similar to the C7. Like the C7, this router has Dual USB Ports – easily share a printer locally and files & media with networked devices or remotely via FTP server. It also has Guest Network Access provides secure Wi-Fi access for guests sharing your home or office network. It's good for smaller apartments, small offices and any other place where there are many users and devices.
The Archer C5 is fast and provides very good wireless coverage. It works well on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequencies and is powerful enough to support many users at once. The front has the usual LED's and the rear panel has two USB 2.0 ports, which support printers and external drives. On the back are four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Gigabit WAN port. With four Ethernet ports, you can connect many peripherals like gaming systems or desktop computers and free Wi-Fi bandwidth. There is also a wireless on/off switch which lets you switch off wireless and turns the router into a wired one when needed. This may come in handy if you only wish to connect it to a PC while keeping wireless off.
The Archer C5 is also IPv6 ready too, and offers a guest network to keep your files private. You can control the timings of these guest networks and you can also limit the total bandwidth that guests can use. TP-LINK Tether provides the easiest way to access and manage your router with your iOS or Android devices.
Ultimately the choice between the two routers must be made on your speed requirements. If you have many concurrent users on the network and if you use the network for wireless file transfers, local media streaming etc, having more bandwidth will certainly be helpful. Else go for the Archer C5 and it should be perfect for your needs.
Netgear's R6220 combines good 802.11ac performance, useful parental controls and excellent software for an affordable price. This AC 1200, dual-band router supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz. It has only 2 non-replaceable external antennas. While overall specifications are similar to the Archer C5, there is only one USB 2.0 port – which effectively means you can only connect either a printer or a hard disk at the same time. If that is not an issue, this is a great buy.
On the back are four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Gigabit WAN port. With four Ethernet ports, you can connect many peripherals like gaming systems or desktop computers and free Wi-Fi bandwidth.
The router has a 880-MHz processor with 128 MB RAM is fast enough to handle multiple connections without any hiccups. The Netgear, is fast and provides very good wireless coverage. It works well on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequencies and is powerful enough to support many users at once.
The parental control features are way better than the Tp-Link ones and you can manage web filtering & accessibility by profiles or devices. The software has settings for High, Moderate, Low and Minimal blocking and can also exclude sites based on words they contain. Like the Archer C5 and C7, there is also a wireless on/off switch which lets you switch off wireless and turns the router into a wired one when needed. This may come in handy if you only wish to connect it to a PC while keeping wireless off.
The router doesn't lack in advanced features. There is QoS which is great for traffic prioritization and guest mode for advanced security. There is also MyGenie app, which lets users easily monitor, connect & control their home network from a PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone. With NETGEAR genie you can share & stream music or videos, diagnose & repair network issues, set up parental controls & more.
If you are looking for a step above a basic router, want dual band for basic streaming purposes, do not need good wired Lan speeds, the Archer c50 won't disappoint.
The Archer C50 is a AC 1200, 802.11ac, dual-band router, supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on 5GHz. It has 2 dual band external antennas and comes with only one USB 2.0 port – which effectively means you can only connect either a printer or a hard disk at the same time. Though there is support for support for a guest network mode, it loses out on advanced features like QOS, VPN pass through. It also misses out on full gigabit Ethernet ports which means wired connections will only support 100 mbps speed. It does get support of TP-LINK Tether provides an easy way to access and manage your router with your iOS or Android devices.
However, the router does come with advanced features like QOS, VPN pass through, Guest Zone Support and remote router management software. We found the performance dropping with range and this can possible be due to the lack of external antennas.
The design is the usual – the front is an array of blinking LED's and shows you all connections. On the back are four non-Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Gigabit WAN port. With four Ethernet ports, you can connect many peripherals like gaming systems or desktop computers and free Wi-Fi bandwidth. However transfers will be limited to 100mbps.
The router works well on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequencies and is powerful enough to support many users at once. We found the 5GHZ signal to be usable only in one room buy 2.4 GHZ was adequate for a 2BHK house.
For those looking for a router on a really small budget, the TP-LINK TL-WR841N provides just that. The router is a bare minimum, single band 802.11n router, supports up to a theoretical speed of 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. There are no USB Ports and advanced features. For those looking for a basic router for home networking with Wi-Fi connectivity, this might be enough.
If you are in a small apartment and not looking to connect many devices or users at the same time, this router will suffice. It doesn't have dual band support, so media streaming might be a issue especially if you have a crowded 2.4 GHz spectrum. The 2.4GHz band is the original Wi-Fi band and is generally congested due to the large number of existing Wi-Fi devices and the fact that certain home electronics and appliances, such as cordless phones, also use this band. Crowded air space results in interference and hence reduced Wi-Fi speed and issues such and disconnections.
It also doesn't have any connectivity ports, so you cannot connect a printer or a hard drive. There is no Gigabit Ethernet home network which means any wired connected devices will have to connect to each other only at speeds up to 100mbps.
There are no advanced features like support for a guest network mode, or QOS, VPN etc. It is also a Wireless N router and does not support Wireless AC standard. It also has a much smaller range than the higher-end routers above and the signal won't travel nearly as well through larger houses. However, if you live in studio or a one-bedroom apartment and don't depend on your router for heavy streaming media use or multiple devices.


I softened up my edges for this look.
I picked up this dress from Style Moi. I love any kind of swing dress, and this one is perfectly light and good for any occasion. I also love the perforated detail on here. I threw on the prettiest blush coat from Bardot that I picked up from Infinity Creative. I'm so obsessed. It's been my best friend during these cold nights. It's light on the eyes with it's pretty shade of pink. The faux fur collar is also removable if you're into a more toned down look. I finished off this girly outfit with some Mary Jane inspired pumps from ZooShoo. I'm not religious, but this would be the perfect outfit for church or to have dinner with my boyfriends parents.

Hard coatings are used for many industrial purposes. Especially for machining and milling, the tools used are made with hard-coated cutting materials. Depending on the application area, specialised coating solutions have been developed to enhance abrasion resistance and, therefore, durability. Controlling the quality of these coatings according to distinct material properties such as micro-hardness is a tough challenge for most measurement technologies.
Milling cutters and drill bits are used for processing various materials. Depending on their intended application, they are made from different cemented carbide alloys. In order to determine the quality of the source material, manufacturers of such tools must verify the exact material composition of the hard metal alloy – which requires very precise analysis during the incoming goods inspection.
High-precision industrial saws, drills and dies used for the cutting, punching and forming of steel, hard metal or aluminium parts are subject to extreme wear and tear. To increase the service life of these often very expensive tools, they are coated with a hard material coating via a PVD (physical vapour deposition) process. The thickness of the PVD layer determines the durability and therefore the life expectancy of the tool. Tool and die makers must therefore guarantee a minimum coating thickness, requiring high-precision control measurement technology.

A: I think is better that use SignalR.

ASP.NET SignalR is a new library for ASP.NET developers that makes it
  incredibly simple to add real-time web functionality to your
  applications. What is "real-time web" functionality? It's the ability
  to have your server-side code push content to the connected clients as
  it happens, in real-time.
You may have heard of WebSockets, a new HTML5 API that enables
  bi-directional communication between the browser and server. SignalR
  will use WebSockets under the covers when it's available, and
  gracefully fallback to other techniques and technologies when it
  isn't, while your application code stays the same.
SignalR also provides a very simple, high-level API for doing server
  to client RPC (call JavaScript functions in your clients' browsers
  from server-side .NET code) in your ASP.NET application, as well as
  adding useful hooks for connection management, e.g. connect/disconnect
  events, grouping connections, authorization.

New auxiliary tool for arthritis patients was developed with 3D printing
Industrial production and development
Cases with Additive Manufacturing
Thomas Søndergaard Westersø
In collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute, Manigrip developed an auxiliary tool for arthritis patients who experience challenges by holding on to narrow objects, such as pencils, cutlery and toothbrushes. Thanks to 3D printing, the entire development process took less than half a year, and along the way Manigrip had access to all competences under one roof at the Danish Technological Institute.
Manigrip was established in 2017 by four entrepreneurs, including Henrikke Kylén Pedersen and Thomas Solgaard, but in fact, the idea for the auxiliary tool came into existence back in 2016 during the examination project of an interaction design class at Aarhus University. The auxiliary tool is a grip magnifier, which can be attached to narrow objects and thus give an enlarged grip surface, and in the course of the entreprenurs' further education, the idea developed. After making the first prototypes in 2018, Manigrip chose to contact the Danish Technological Institute in the spring of 2019 in order to have the grip magnifier completed.
At this point, it was still a concept idea, because even though Manigrip had some simple prototypes with plastic tubes and a website around the concept, it was still at a sketch level. Manigrip was on top of the business part of the concept i, but they lacked the technical background and design experience to realize it, which is why they needed the Danish Technological Institute's development knowledge to move forward.
We had lost a partner and were in a situation where we had to get a lot of prototypes out to different users fairly quickly, and the only place where we really felt understood in relation to where we were in the process was at the Danish Technological Institute.
- Thomas Solgaard, Manigrip
In the video below, Manigrip talks about the development process and the collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute (in Danish) - the case continues after the video.
InnoBooster started the development
After initially discussing the various options, the Danish Technological Institute helped Manigrip helped apply for an InnoBooster of around DKK 450,000 that could be used to purchase commercial services in both the Center for Industrial 3D Printing and the rest of the Danish Technological Institute - including product development hours and 3D-printed printed prototypes. Here, it quickly became apparent that the existing prototypes did not resemble the finished product.
- When the InnoBooster was in place, we made a plan to have shorter development loops of around DKK 10,000, so we didn't risk getting too far 'off topic'. These loops included design, print, assembly and testing. Between these loops, we held status meetings with newly developed prototypes that were made using e.g. SLA and SLS technology. Then we looked at the prototypes together and evaluated their performance, says Thomas Westersø, consultant at the Danish Technological Institute and 3D printing expert.
A development loop took 1-2 weeks, and the status meeting then generated a series of feedback - for example, that the grip magnifier should be stronger and more stable, that it should hold the items in a different way, that the electronics should be on the inside and that the battery tike should be longer. Along the way, the prototypes also underwent consumer testing, where arthritis patients gave their feedback to the concept. The first three loops thus focused on finding a functional prototype and the next two loops were used to make five prototypes for consumer testing. Following feedback from the test, some changes were made, and after another three to four loops, Manigrip now has a product concept ready for final production maturity at the manufacturer.
- The major advantage of 3D printing is that you quickly have a prototype ready, and that has been quite important for our way of developing. We have involved users in our development from the start, and 3D printing has been indispensable in this process because we could quickly get new iterations based on the insights we gained from the users, says Thomas Solgaard, co-founder of Manigrip .
During the development process, Manigrip had access to all the necessary competences under one roof at the Danish Technological Institute, including product development, 3D printing, electronics development, mechanical safety and battery safety - this has been a big advantage as it made it easier to maintain an overview and coordinate the progress of development.
Lack of space was the biggest challenge
Specifically, the grip magnifier works by having the grip 'close' around various long, thin items, giving arthritis patients something more to hold on than e.g. a thin brush, a pen or cutlery.
First, however, the concept had to be developed from scratch, including electronics, mechanics and how it all should work, and the only thing that experts from the Danish Technological Institute had to work from was an external framework as well as some examples of items that the tool should be able to handle. In such a process, 3D printing is a great tool because there is a short time from idea to functional prototype, so the process is speeded up, and several different functional prototypes can be made.
In the development process, one of the major challenges was that the handle should be relatively small, while the hole in it should be relatively large. That meant there was very little room for mechanics, closing mechanism, electronics, battery and button.
After some idea generation, where we researched and tested methods for closing around things, we came up with a usable concept that we tested in an early prototype. When we saw that it worked, we moved forward with it.
- Sigurd Vigen Pedersen, Danish Technological Institute
At the same time, it was exciting to be so limited in space and find a solution for it - where there is room for both mechanics and electronics.
Focus on electronics
When the mechanics and functionality of the grip magnifier were in place, it was time to develop the controls, and this is where the Danish Technological Institute's Department of Electrical Systems came into play. They have developed both software and electronics, and everything is specified, so Manigrip is equipped for the final product maturation.
- We have designed all components to achieve the lowest possible size and the lowest possible power consumption, and the PCB measures just 2½ x 1 cm. The control is also made so that we minimize the running time of the motor, and the power consumption when the utility is not used is also minimized. This ensures the user a long time between each charge, says Jonas Nyborg, senior consultant and electronics expert at the Danish Technological Institute.
He further explains that battery safety has also been an important issue. Therefore, the most critical battery parameters are monitored both in the software and by a protection feature in the hardware. Thus, all use and safety aspects are considered in the development of electronics.
Ready for production
For Manigrip, it was important from the start that the grip magnifier was developed so that it could be produced with injection molding, although 3D printing could also be an option for pilot production until the quantities are large enough to invest in injection molds.
Through the collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute, Manigrip has gone from idea to a production-ready concept, which can be mass-produced with injection molding, and where both mechanics and electronics are specified and tested - and the whole process took about three-quarters of a year, including consumer testing.
- The collaboration with the Danish Technological Institute has been really good. We think it's been great to experience a commitment on their part that you don't actually expect when you go and buy a service from someone. But there has been a lot of interest in developing the best possible product, also from their side, and we think it has been really nice, concludes Henrikke Pedersen, co-founder of Manigrip.
Manigrip launches the grip magnifier, named 'Wini', in the summer of 2020, and they have already opened for orders.

In this unit introduces to variety of food vocabulary and restaurant's situation. Students will also learn some grammar, as the difference between some and any or the construction of questions in a formal way.
Watch this video and answer the following questions: Where is he? What does he eat? Have you ever had some rare situation in a restaurant?
Do you like food? I'm sure you do. Sometime when we travel and we go to a restaurant we are not able understand the menu, so that makes so difficult order what we want. Let's learn all the vocabulary related to food and drinks items.
As you could see before, sometimes we can use some or any. But when do we use some or any? Let's see if you can guess it. First of all we will learn when a noun is countable or uncountable. Do the activities you can find below and read about the theory about some and any.
Let's do our own menu. You will have to do a presentation with your daily menu. But be careful, you will have to do a healthy menu. Which is the healthier menu? Here you have some interactive activites to help you in this work.
Let's go to a restaurant. Listen and find how we order food and drinks and we are in a restaurant.
The end. Complete all the activities and let's go to a restaurant.
Now is time to role play. You with some of your classmates will have to create a situation in a restaurant. Some of you will be the waiter and the other ones will be the custmers.
The weiter and the client.

Tyson, Dawkins, and religion

Re: Tyson, Dawkins, and religion
Quote from: ka9q on January 18, 2013, 02:39:29 AM
They just don't seem to understand that while religious freedom is a basic principle of our country, it does not include the freedom to harm others or to use the machinery of the state to coerce others to follow their personal views.
To respond a bit more to this post. We are in a situation today where some people do claim, as you say, that freedom of religion is tantamount to the freedom to practice only a certain religion and that freedom should be enforced by the state. It is a bizarre twisting of logic. Many others do rightly point out, and Dawkins is sure to be one of them, that an individuals freedom of religion intrinsically includes a freedom from religion.
For freedom of religion to occur, the state must be neutral on the religious content of our beliefs and focus on observable behaviors. That way we can deal with unlawfulness while respecting the individuals right to hold either mainstream or outlier ideas.
The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new. —Samuel Beckett
Quote from: Valis on January 18, 2013, 08:31:53 AM
However, as I've tried to point out, a religious scientist is in an intellectually dishonest position, requiring evidence for everything else but his/her faith.
I disagree. There is nothing intellectually dishonest about believing in a divine entity that looks over us all while being a scientist examining the way the world works. Science by definition cannot cover things like divine entities or the afterlife because there is no way to test it. That doesn't mean a scientist can't believe he will go to heaven or be judged by a god when he dies.
I personally do not believe in a god. I see nothing 'intellectually dishonest' however, about believing that some divine entity set the universe in motion and scientifically trying to understand that setup, while all the time that entity is looking over us all and seeing how that universe he created gets on.
Quote from: Echnaton on January 18, 2013, 09:57:51 AM
The difficulty there comes from deciding what is lawful and unlawful, considering that a number of religions disagree on those points. Some 'observable behaviours' might be quite acceptable to some religions while being totally abhorrent to others, and the state has to try to legislate. Whatever it decides about the acceptability or otherwise of those behaviours, one group will disagree and claim discrimination and the forcing of other beliefs, religious or otherwise, on them.
Quote from: Jason Thompson on January 18, 2013, 10:44:33 AM
Also disagreement among the non-religious. Politics is one sticky wicket after another. I think when politics works to address behaviors over beliefs, it is more likely to reach a reasonable consensus that also respects minority rights. But there is simply no getting around the fact that some people feel put out or offended.
I'll use this one spot to address all the disagreeing posts.
If you believe in a god that doesn't affect our lives or the universe in general, you are very far from "mainstream" religious beliefs. A god answering prayers, for example, is a testable hypothesis, and one that has been tested, too. Science can't cover things that don't affect anything we can observe even in principle, but then you'll have to somehow justify your belief in such a thing, when you have just acknowledged that you couldn't have had any information about it.
This is the God of Einstein, a deistic belief. It's still a baseless belief, and a scientist should know that at the moment, we can't know what actually happened at the beginning of our universe. However, this thread has concerned theistic belief, where there's an active god.
a religious scientist is in an intellectually dishonest position
There is nothing intellectually dishonest about acknowledging holding non-scientific beliefs.
Then how can you justify your scientific views? Why can the burden of proof be shifted, when it's about a religion? What's the intellectually honest answer from the scientific point of view for, say, "why do you believe in the Christian God and not in Ukko ylijumala?"
requiring evidence for everything else but his/her faith.
You beg the question that one can, does and should require evidence for everything in life.
No, you misinterpret me. To make it easier, what other things would you believe to exist without proof?
And one should keep the faith to himself, it should not affect others, especially in a negative way.
People should not share their unscientific thoughts and experiences? Who is to decide what is "negative?"
It seems that you really want to deliberately misinterpret me. Just take a look at the position of homosexual people, and their rights compared to say heterosexual couples in the US. It shouldn't be that hard to see why having a religious belief, justified or not, is very different from having the belief and having it affect others without their approval.
you'll have to somehow justify your belief in such a thing, when you have just acknowledged that you couldn't have had any information about it.
With all due respect, who the heck are you to tell someone they "have to justify" a personal belief? Who are you to judge?
I agree that one person's beliefs should not impinge on the rights of others, but that's not what you are saying here. Any beliefs I do or do not have are none of your business and I do not have to justify them or myself to anyone.

I took a picture around the November election of a board in front of the church near our library. It normally lists what the sermon was going to be. For a considerable length of time, it instead announced that people of faith should support love and support our gay marriage initiative. Now, as it happens, I still don't want that church to announce its political stance that way, even though I agree with it. I don't think churches should tell people how to vote. However, I think they were driven to it by all those people (on both sides of the religious spectrum) saying that all religious people are opposed to gay marriage. Given the statistics of religious people in the US and people in the US who support gay marriage, that literally cannot be true.
A few of you might be aware that I watch the occasional movie. I also write reviews. Those reviews are different from the reviews of everyone else, unto what I liked and disliked about the movie. Personal opinion is unscientific. Saying, "I enjoyed this movie" is subjective and not answerable to the same specifications as every other person out there. Every day, we all think and act in ways that are different from one another. Why? Who knows? But saying that religion is the "only" personal belief that doesn't meet scientific justification misses a large amount of the range of human thought.

Why the aggression? How about justifying a belief to yourself, for starters? How many beliefs do you take for granted, without any actual basis? At least to me, this is basic self-reflection.

If you live in the US, I think that the church can't do that and still be exempt from taxation.

Would you please present us those statistics? This may be one more case where a vocal and fundamental religious minority tries to affect the society, with the silent approval of the majority of their faith.
Yes, a personal opinion on matters of taste is not scientific, at least at the moment (I can fathom a future where it's actually possible to tell whether a person will like a movie, and why, by observing the brains of the person). However, would you write a review of a movie you never saw? If you did, would you think it'd be meaningful to compare your review with another made by someone who also didn't see the movie?
When writing the review, you are basing all the rational and emotional evaluations on something that exists, and exists in the same form for all the others who view the movie.
Quote from: Valis on January 18, 2013, 01:20:40 PM
Ha. Look into the history of California's Proposition 8.
Well, these days, vocal disapproval, if you look at those gay marriage initiatives that succeeded in November. We were all poised to be the first state to approve gay marriage by ballot, not legislature or judiciary, and we were in fact the third--because two other states had polls that closed before ours. 53% of Americans (depending on what poll you're looking at) currently support gay marriage. That doesn't include those who support "civil unions." On average, polls show that eighty percent of Americans consider themselves religious, which doesn't include "religious unaffiliated"--religious, but they don't know what they believe. Assuming that everyone who isn't religious also supports gay marriage--not a safe assumption--shows that there has to be about a thirty percent overlap of "religious" and "supports gay marriage."
Well, I've written a review or two of a movie I didn't finish, generally to explain what was so awful about a movie that other people really seem to like that made me angry enough to turn it off. (See my review of In and Out, actually.) However, I am currently in the middle of a series of discussions with friends about why I'm probably not going to see a fairly popular movie at all. Certainly not in the theatre. I have made that decision without what some people consider to be enough evidence, based in part on my feelings. (Also on certain glaring historical errors that have been brought to my attention and a visceral dislike for the director.) And indeed, at the point the conversations started, none of us had seen the movie. We were taking fragmentary evidence and deciding if we felt it made it worth pursuing further.
Okay, then what about love? Do you think love is quantifiable? How about beauty? Yes, we know that human standards of beauty are generally based on symmetry, but why, then, do so many people even within a culture have such varying standards? Why were my best friend and I able to argue Charlie Sheen versus Emilio Estevez when we were in eighth grade? Yes, both men exist, but if beauty is quantifiable, why can't two girls the same age, who attended the same school district--even the same school, at the time--and the same church, and who had mostly the same interests, agree on which one was better-looking?
OK. I don't live in the US, but my understanding is that if you want to be tax exempted as a charity or such, you can't participate in politics in this sense.
While I do hope that what you describe about gay marriage approval is correct, I'd still like to see some actual statistics. It's not legal in more than a couple of states, after all.
Well, I've written a review or two of a movie I didn't finish
But you saw enough to make your mind that the movie actually existed, and that it wasn't to your liking.
However, I am currently in the middle of a series of discussions with friends about why I'm probably not going to see a fairly popular movie at all. Certainly not in the theatre. I have made that decision without what some people consider to be enough evidence, based in part on my feelings. (Also on certain glaring historical errors that have been brought to my attention and a visceral dislike for the director.) And indeed, at the point the conversations started, none of us had seen the movie. We were taking fragmentary evidence and deciding if we felt it made it worth pursuing further.
Fragmentary information is not what I meant. If all of you got about the same information about the movie, and you could even agree that you were talking about the same movie, that's fine. It has nothing to do what I meant, though. Could you actually make a review of the movie?
Okay, then what about love?
In the context of this discussion, I've never loved anything that I haven't observed to exist.
Do you think love is quantifiable?
Perhaps not, but I know I love more my wife and my child than my parents, for example. I've also observed that all of them exist.
How about beauty?
I'll make my judgment when I see it.
Yes, we know that human standards of beauty are generally based on symmetry, but why, then, do so many people even within a culture have such varying standards?
I'm not sure. Perhaps it has something to do with "compatibility", like tall people preferring tall partners. This still doesn't mean that the object of desire doesn't exist in a physical sense.
Why were my best friend and I able to argue Charlie Sheen versus Emilio Estevez when we were in eighth grade? Yes, both men exist, but if beauty is quantifiable, why can't two girls the same age, who attended the same school district--even the same school, at the time--and the same church, and who had mostly the same interests, agree on which one was better-looking?
You tell me. Did you write down the features that you found attractive?
An intellectually honest answer would be, "That is my faith. I believe it without proof." An answer much like the one Gillianren gave earlier. (Not intending to put words in her mouth.)
I interpreted "evidence for everything in life" as well, everything in life, material and non-material. I see your statement of "believe to exist" as perhaps meaning only material existence. If you meant only material existence, then we are in agreement. One needs to have proof for a claim of something having materiel existence or an ability act on the material. One need not have proof to say that one's spiritual impulse exists and influences decisions in one's life.
It seems that you really want to deliberately misinterpret me.
I really did mean those questions as questions that I would like you to clarify, not accusations.
It shouldn't be that hard to see why having a religious belief, justified or not, is very different from having the belief and having it affect others without their approval.
This does occur with beliefs religious and not. The director of the Bolshoi Ballet was attacked with acid to the face yesterday and may loose his sight. News reports attribute the attack to artistic differences. Union members may attack or kill scabs. Although religious hatred may be the most prevalent, I just don't see much ultimate difference between religious and secular hatred.
If we are not communicating, please do not take my misunderstandings as deliberate. I think our conversations here are productive.
And that is supposed to be true. Supposedly, you should lose your tax-exempt status if you tell people how to vote. However, there's a certain Utah-based faith that poured unknown dollar amounts and volunteer hours into the Proposition 8 campaign, and they still have tax-exempt status. I'm sure one marquee on one obscure Olympia church isn't going to change a thing.
Assuming the Supreme Court overturns Prop 8, it will be legal for a quarter of the US population. That will be because California is the most populous state in the Union--and it's legal in New York, which also has a rather large population. It is legal in nine states, the District of Columbia, and two Indian tribes. Obama has publicly declared his support of same-sex marriage. Three states made it legal in one day, which is fairly impressive. On that same day, another failed to pass a constitutional ban, becoming only the second to do so. What statistics do you want? I gave you current poll numbers. Do you want links to the actual polls? Because I can do that, too. Heck, it doesn't take much looking around to discover that the support for same-sex marriage is increasing in the US, whereas the amount of people who consider themselves religious is relatively static.
Probably, but I wouldn't. I know there are several movies I haven't actually seen that I could not only write reviews of, but could write accurate reviews of.
You're missing my point, perhaps deliberately. I can't remember the exact quote, but in Hogfather, Death talks to Susan about how humanity is all about the things that don't exist. She argues, but he suggests she mill the universe down to its smallest particles and find her an atom of "justice" or "love." Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez certainly exist, as does your family. Your love for them, and their beauty, do not have tangible existence. They are names we have assigned to something that, from an objective perspective, can be said not to exist. "Compatibility"? Find me a particle of that. The object of desire exists, but "desire"?
Why so personal? When someone tries to tell me what to think, yeah I get annoyed.
Again, it is none of your business what I do or do not believe or why. You don't know me, and you do not know how deep my self-reflection runs or what I have put in to achieve it.
