So many people to kill, so little time.
Killing? Of fetuses, you mean, you may ask. Aren't they just useless blobs of tissue without any viability?
And what about women's right to choose? Surely, their bodies are theirs to choose what should happen with it.
And what about abortions because of rape or incest?
Or, the health of the mother, or a deformed, mentally dysfunctional embryo?
Yes, I mean genocide, killing millions of babies every year. Let's first look at the statistics before we tackle all those 'concerns' that the pro-killing folks raise.
These statistics have been provided by The Alan Guttmacher Institute and Planned Parenthood's Family Planning Perspectives. But, if you doubt any of it, research into these numbers and facts are easily accomplished. It might do some good to delve into this piece of dark history of the world yourself.
Worldwide about 115,000 babies are killed every day, which amounts to 42 million every year.
In the United States the numbers are 3,700 babies per day amounting to about 1.37 million per year. That's almost one baby every 20 seconds.
The most alarming statistic is that women claiming to be Roman Catholic account for 31.3% of all abortions. Those claiming to be of Protestant religious conviction account for 28.7% of all abortions. One would have thought that those who claim to revere God would show more respect when God has gifted them with a new life, convenient for them or not.
The vast majority of abortions (52%) are performed on babies less than 9 weeks old; 25% between 9 and 10 weeks and then the incidence of abortion drops off to about 1% (16,450 per year) while the babies are older than 20 weeks in the womb.
Let's check in with the viability argument. The argument is that should one deliver a fetus at an abortable stage, it would not be a viable human being and would die quickly outside the womb. That is a dishonest argument because a fetus has a support system surrounding it, keeping it alive in the womb, such as an umbilical chord, water in which to float (there is no air in the womb) for protection among other things, heat, nutrition, and so on.
As soon as the baby is born, it is transferred to a supporting system outside the womb: air, heat, nutrition, comfort, and protection. That doesn't change as long as the baby is alive even at old age, or perhaps more so at old age.
Ask any adult who promotes abortion, to walk without food or water into the Sahara desert and stay there for two weeks without any reference to a support system that has sustained him up to that point, and see how viable he has become. It will be less than a week before that completely viable human being is transformed into a worthless blob of decaying tissue. The point is that all human beings, from conception till death, are viable only while connected to a sufficient supporting system. Like an umbilical chord through which one acquires nutrition, like an amniotic sack providing protection, and so on.
So, the viability argument is false and insulting, to say the least.
Let's check in with the woman's right to choose argument. Abortions are medical procedures and are considered very dangerous procedures in many instances. Even the drugs that women are willing to take can be killers or maim the woman's reproductive organs. Read up about RU-486 and Methotrexate & Misoprostol, if you have the time.
Why would any rational woman choose to participate in activities that result in the conception of a baby, and then claim a right to choose when the danger of her choices radically threatens her health? Wouldn't one want to prevent the activities that lead to such dangers in the first place, if choice is the core of the argument?
So, the choice argument is also bogus and false.
Let's check in with the rape and incest argument, and lump in with it the deformity and mental dysfunction arguments. Almost 1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest while only 6% occur because of potential health concerns. A full 93% of all abortions are for social, convenient reasons.
So that argument is moot, too, because if we get rid of the 93%, we can start a discussion on the remaining 7%.
I challenge anyone to point to a miraculous event in the life of a fetus that's equal to that of conception, which changes a blob of useless tissue into a person, except natural growth, which is the standard manner of progression of any human being regardless of age.
In the United States alone, more than 53 million babies have been killed since abortion was legalized in 1973 of which almost 50 million were killed for the sake of convenience.
What a terrible crime is being inflicted upon the people the world over, who have lost millions and millions of potential artists, scientists, authors, poets, teachers, and economically productive people. Just because they considered it convenient to do so.
Those who believe in God read Psalm 139 and realize that there is a relationship with God established at conception and aborting the baby is murder.
Those who do not believe in God realize that there is a relationship with the future established at conception and aborting the baby is murder.
It is impossible to sustain rational thought around the useless blob of tissue argument.

Dr. Martin Luther King
The latter should never have been an issue, if one considers the Constitution. It starts with the words "We the people…" after all.
However, history and tradition are what they are, and Dr. King resisted passionately but passively. It is perhaps only his death, and the manner in which it came about, that cast his beliefs in stone, never to be erased or moved again. It is debatable whether that would have been the case to this intensity had he not been assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968.
It is usually the death of someone that casts the unimportant into the arena of the profound, the common into the extraordinary, and the mundane into the exceptional.
Dr. King's goal was not unimportant, common or mundane, so his death was destined to catapult the entire agenda of civil rights and passive resistance into the stratosphere, causing permanent changes in this country.
If we stand in 2012, and take Dr. King's most famous of his utterances, "I have a dream…" and the color of one's skin statement following that, and we hold that as a template over history since that fateful day in April 1968, it is inescapable to conclude that many black leaders today wish he didn't make that statement. That statement appears to be a thorn in their side when it comes to the color of people's skin as opposed to the content of their character.
Perhaps if Dr. King had said that as long as there are white people in society, black folks would never be freed from discrimination. Or, the greatest enemy of the black population is white people. That is what their actions suggest and what some loudly profess.
Many black parents teach their children about slavery and discrimination, and rightly so, but also ingrain into them their own personal responsibility to pursue their goals. In a post-King era there are no laws prohibiting anyone in this country from achieving all that one can desire.
There will always be bigots, racists, and homophobes. As long as the law does not prohibit one from achieving one's goals and desires, bigots, racists and homophobes that one encounters are like obstacles found in any course, hills and valleys in any journey. It's up to individuals to intelligently navigate the course that leads to their goals. All people are subject to these obstacles. No one escapes them.
Unfortunately, many black parents not only teach their children about slavery and discrimination, but teach them that the white man owes them his wealth because he stole it from their ancestors. That is tantamount to child abuse in addition to it being inaccurate. Child abuse because children become unable to navigate these obstacle courses, setting them on a path to utter destruction and poverty. Or slavery, if you will.
Dr. King's crusade against the abuses of the civil rights of people was against the laws that prohibited Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks from sitting in a bus where they wanted to. No, not only prohibited, but made it illegal, punishable by the state.
Most people, white or black, would not have batted an eyelid where anyone sat in a bus if the law didn't spark their political combustion.
This is not the time to consider who enacted those unjust laws although it would make for a piece of interesting history, perhaps standing some contemporary beliefs on their head. It would be more productive to identify the modern day robbers of liberty from the people and, like Dr. King, dream that there would come a day when people would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
The so-called black leadership destroys black people who dare to rise to the levels of their expectations and desires and lynch them if they dare to wander off the plantation of victimhood.
In the process several generations of black families have been decimated. More black youths are in jail than any other group; more are unemployed than any other group; more are in poverty than any other group; more are totally illiterate while possessing high school diplomas, than any other group.
Since the laws have been made color-neutral, there is no excuse for this sorry state of affairs in which the black family has been dumped by their fellow blacks.
Instead of shepherding their children onto the path of liberty and prosperity, they rather hoodwinked them, dragged them off onto their plantations to do their bidding and let them fall into squalor and misery, while banking the profits of these poor people's labor. Doesn't that sound like slavery?
They dare not propose that black people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, for at that moment, they would be exposed as the architects of the greatest tragedy that ever befell the black people of this country, since slavery was abolished.
Who will be the Dr. King of these lost generations?

Benjamin Franklin
On Saturday I attended a Patriots meeting because I am deeply concerned about the decline of individual liberty of the people and, trusting no one in politics or any political party, as they appear to be the conveyors of deceit in our time, I went to listen to a grass-roots initiative of ordinary folks like me.
It was very refreshing to hear the work that is being done, grass-roots wise.
The leader gave a rundown of the group's activities for the past month and in her address made the following comment: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. A republic is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
Cute, I thought, but something sounded off-key. It didn't sound like a true analogy, not of a republic, at least. The two wolves, because of their majority, could have been voted into congress, denied the lamb his Second Amendment rights, and have it for lunch anyway. She attributed the quote to Benjamin Franklin.
The more I thought about the quote, the more I realized that Benjamin Franklin was either misquoted or mistaken. I would have thought that individual liberty would be the instrument by which the lamb would have obtained protection against the wolves, not the fact that they were in a republic. After all, a republic is the effect of the democratic process and thus contaminated by its defects. The antidote to this contamination is that democracy is applied by individually free people from which the republic is spawned. The republic, of itself, is no cause at all. At best it is an instrument through which the wishes of the people are executed. The law is in the same position, and that, too, has been bastardized and employed as a cause. No, the people are the cause, period.
I started writing this blog by correcting Benjamin Franklin. It harped on my sense of accuracy that Benjamin Franklin was no fool and I had better verify what exactly he said about this. So, I started looking for Franklin's quotes on the Internet. He penned so many quotes that I became despondent when after more than an hour of reading supposed Franklin quotes, I couldn't find the democracy vs. republic quote. Then, finally, I stumbled onto a site and there it was: the first on a page of very poignant quotes.
It reads, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
Now, that sounded right. Franklin's analogy was spot-on; the analogy at the meeting was incorrectly quoting Franklin.
What a small and innocent inaccuracy, I thought, and yet, it is indicative of the exact reason why we are in trouble today. People, even those in power and those teaching conservatism and capitalism, do not recognize the first cause of our republic. It is the people's individual liberty that is the first cause of this nation's existence and success. Everything else hangs on this truth and this truth alone.
Individual liberty brings those of like mind together from where they appoint and employ their leaders. They have the right to dismiss those who violate or threaten their individual liberty, regardless how well-intended the diversions may appear. Unfortunately, our sense of a ruler over us, which has bogged nations since the time of the ancient Israelites, causes us to bestow upon our employees, the president included, monarchical majesty.
Individual liberty, by definition, excludes those who oppose it and dissidents should either conform and accept their right to be individually free, or seek residence elsewhere where they can live in bondage at their leisure.
Group forming or group identification is the road that leads to tyranny and our republic is worthless if we, the ordinary folks on the ground, and our leaders whom we employed do not understand the mechanics of our government and how they have been bastardized.
I am convinced that our nation is utterly defenseless against liberalism and communism, because we have allowed our enemies to redefine who we are. As of today, nobody has yet been able to recognize this redefinition and correctly defined who we are.
We are in an abyss from which we might only rise when our streets are drenched in the blood of our children and at the sound of desperate cries from our people in chains and poverty, unless we get this right.
Do you think this is an overly dramatic end to my blog? Then, consider what the majority of the people in this country would do when they have been deprived of their right to engage the ballot box and the courts rule against their liberty.
We had better take note and act before the enemies of the people have usurped the instruments by which we express our individual liberty.
Time has run out.
There the leader of the Patriots group was spot-on.

Stimulating the economy
I refuse to believe that all those who immediately attach credibility to actions, statements, and promises of government do so without any inner sense that something is wrong, irrational and perhaps dangerous. The question is why don't they speak up? Why don't they protest and at the very least demand an explanation of those thoughts that cry out against the conflicts that government causes.
We see this oppression of individual thought occurring in the military and where dictators and monarchs rule with the sword. The military's subversion of individual thought is understandable. You cannot convene a committee or ask for a second opinion when the battle field commander yells "charge." You charge whether you agree, understand or feel like charging or not. Your training makes your superior's orders your knee-jerk reaction. You first obey and if able or necessary, ask for an explanation later.
When confronted with a dictator's orders, or decrees from your monarch, the knee-jerk reaction is to be silent, agreement is not optional. Discretion is dangerous. If the order involves your action, you comply and remain silent, even defending the order if necessary, just in case you might appear to be in disagreement with the one who gave the order.
Why, in a free society with guarantees of individual liberty for all, would we willingly subject ourselves to such abuse and then not from an identifiable ONE, but an illusive, non-descript "government," filled with people like you and me. They appear to willingly, even gleefully, transform from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde depending whether they enter the daylight of citizenship or the darkness of government.
I am confident that everybody in this country would be able to recount horror stories of encounters with the government's Mr. Hydes. The one that particularly is a thorn in my side is the concept of government's role as a real person. That is, it is not just people who make up government and nothing else, but that it is a real entity and that it has a personality.
We gave government its personality and installed it with power over us. Why are we still defending these masochistic actions. Or, is it Stockholm Syndrome?
Government's constitution caused not-so-benevolent people to take control of our acceptance that government is a real person that can sometimes do good and sometimes bad things. By cunningly feeding on our acceptance of government as a real entity with a personality, we are willingly following and obeying whomever is in charge.
The truth is counter intuitive to most of us, unfortunately, keeping this mythical entity alive and very dangerous. The truth is that the one in charge is our servant, not our king, dictator or battle field commander.
In a monarchy speech such as this would be blatant treason. In a free society it is absolutely necessary and required behavior. It is recognition of the truth, giving birth to action to rectify the wrongs in our society, which is a free people's response to oppression.
Government is not capable of any actions unless we grant it, not to government, because it doesn't exist, but to those neighbors of ours whom we appointed to take care of those tasks that we have neither the time nor the inclination of doing.
That identity we created and bestowed upon "government" is a myth; a beast that threatens to consume us unless we obey. When this beast growls for more of our harvest, we willingly, in fear, feed him lest he comes down from his mountain and smite us.
Those of us who do not work in government, can be compared to ranchers who till their land, tend their crops and bring their harvest to market every year. All human beings have a piece of land, which is their talents, hard work and general ability to plant, tend and grow a harvest. I am such a rancher.
Those of us who work in government, are utterly and wholly funded by other, special government workers who have the right, and the weight of the law behind them, to confiscate as much of my harvest as they deem necessary.
Let's not at this time consider that part of my confiscated harvest that is given to my neighbor because he neglected to till his land and plant a crop last year, ensuring he won't till his land this year either. Let's just consider the legitimate payment of my other neighbor who also doesn't till his land but receives part of my confiscated harvest as wages for his efforts to confiscate my harvest next year, ensuring that he will continue to receive part of my harvest.
It stands to reason, then, if more people like me are taken off the land and enticed to rather share in the confiscated harvests of others than producing a harvest themselves, that the harvest would of necessity become smaller and smaller every year. If the harvest becomes smaller, more would have to be confiscated from those who still till the land and break their backs to bring in a harvest every year, right?
As I said earlier, for those neighbors, who do not till land for an existence, as I do, but work for us to do those tasks we do not want to do, we gladly and willingly surrender a portion of our harvest to ensure that they remain willing to do those unwanted tasks. We hold those neighbors in high esteem creating for us greater liberty and opportunity to become more productive ensuring that they remain well paid and cared for.
It is when those who consider us as their subjects, who believe our harvests and land belong to them to benevolently distribute as they see fit, that are the beasts on the mountain. The dragon that needs slaying.
Let's look at the picture in a practical manner. In 2009 the federal government confiscated $2.1 trillion from our harvests. The federal payroll was $181 billion that year. That is, for every $1,000 a government employee received, roughly $11,000 had to be confiscated. Granted, not every dollar confiscated went to pay a government employee, but the overhead of getting a dollar to a government employee required that $11 be confiscated from my harvest.
The key to understanding this is that government doesn't produce anything, it just has people managing, controlling, supervising, tracking, collecting, enforcing and reporting on our actions and our harvests -- all its revenues consist of confiscated harvests. Nothing else.
So, if we speak of stimulating the economy by subsidizing or bailing out things, we speak of confiscating larger portions of my harvest to give to others who haven't produced a harvest or haven't produced enough. Or, worse, who have stolen others' harvests.
If we speak of creating jobs by hiring more people in government, we speak of confiscating larger portions of my harvest to pay those newly employed people who will now be unable to produce any harvest of their own, further reducing the harvest.
Why are we just blindly accepting that unemployment is somehow countered by hiring more government employees?

Scientist acknowledges China"s efforts toward environmental conservation, and says Africa is well-placed to follow its example
Targeted conservation-related policies and regulations, together with consistent funding for research, have set China on the path toward reining in pollution. Africa can learn from this, helping it meet sustainable goals and reduce pollution-related deaths, says Liu Jian, chief scientist of the United Nations Environment Programme.
Pollution has become the world"s No 1 killer, jumping to the top of the priority list, says Liu. According to a World Health Organization report, at least 12.6 million people died in 2012 of environmentally related deaths. Air pollution accounted for half of these deaths.
Nevertheless, China"s strong leadership and commitment are reversing the trend, while promoting investment in the green economy. During the third UN Environment Assembly Forum, held in December, Chinese environmental projects and one individual won the UN"s top environmental awards. The winners were Saihanba Afforestation Community, Mobike and Wang Weibao, chairman of Elion Resources Group, who won the Lifetime Achievement award.
"Private business has a key role to play in cutting pollution," Liu says. In its efforts to transform the country into "Beautiful China", its government has worked closely with scientists and corporate enterprises.
Such cooperation within the UNEA is long overdue, says Liu. During the previous session, the private sector was left out, and Liu was determined to change this. Only a year into his job, it fell upon him to organize a forum that would discuss achievable ways of cutting emissions. "I wondered whether the policymakers and scientists were enough to meet our green solution goals," he says.
Liu was aware of the Emissions Gap Report, produced by the UNEP and released in 2017. It said joint efforts between the government and the scientific community can only meet one-third of the commitments made in the Paris Climate Agreement. Partnership with the business sector was therefore urgently needed. "Unless businesses change their water utilization, energy production using coal, and soil management, pollution will persist. No one is to be left out in this campaign," says Liu.
Since 2006, Achim Steiner, the former executive director of the UNEP, has promoted the green economy concept, says Liu, adding that the idea started to catch on. "This concept is a paradigm shift, since it forces all players to address pollution from the source and not the end. Air pollution can only be curbed by solutions designed from the source. This is revolutionary and has triggered several green investment opportunities," he says.
Therefore, the dynamics of the UN Global Science-Policy-Business Forum on the Environment on Dec 2 and 3 had changed. "We created an opportunity for the private sector to engage with the policymakers and scientists in seeking to enable policies and attractive incentives that will increase green investments for new businesses," says Liu.
Enthusiasm was high in the business community. Only 400 people were expected to take part, but Liu"s team received around 1,900 application. Only 800 participants were allowed, with an emphasis on the private sector. The forum was self-financed.
"The private sector is decent and smart and it is time to tap into their knowledge and resources to reach sustainability goals. Most of them are surprisingly on our side and have proved to be farsighted and visionary. Look at the solutions they are implementing in developing countries, and most of them agree that green is the avenue toward sustainability. They say that if you are not turning green then your business is facing a dead end, with no hope. That is why I believe the popularity of the forum will increase, especially among the business community. We are learning from the World Economic Forum but not limiting ourselves," he says.
During UNEA 3, participants agreed that, for the world to have cleaner air, $18.6 billion of investment is needed. Liu says that, for this to happen, there is a need for stronger political, intellectual and entrepreneurial leadership.
First, environmental conservation needs to be prioritized in global business forums, he says. "During the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, only two heads of state-India"s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron-addressed environmental issues. The environment is important, since it dictates sustainable development," he says.
Second, scientists need to proactively identify sources of pollution and solutions in terms of innovation and technology, linking with entrepreneurs for implementation. "Only when you put these three groups together will results be seen," says Liu.
He says that his office is working with the governments of the United States, China, Europe and India to reach out to the business community. Multinational companies such as IBM and Philips are highly receptive, he says.
"We are keen to expand this conversation to nonstate actors, and hence the need for a new name. We are still consulting but we are thinking of naming it the World Environmental Forum, to give a voice to everyone and also promote leadership in innovation. Perhaps by April we will have a way forward."
On Africa, he says the continent is in the pole position to be the launchpad of a green revolution. "Africa is the land of hope. It has more potential than China and India, and even the US and Europe. Comparisons can be made on per capita net resources, and Africa ranks first in water, for example, followed by China, then India. Africa is rich when it comes to renewable energy potential. Research shows that a solar farm covering a third of the Sahara desert could power the world six times over."
Africa is yet to exploit its hydro power potential on its two biggest rivers, the Congo and the Nile, he says. It has huge bio-mass potential in addition to a young, educated and cheaper workforce as the rest of the world enters the aging phase.
"This is the land of hope," he says. "There is no reason Africa cannot do better in green economy. There is already a blueprint, and some countries, such as Kenya, are already setting the pace. Otherwise, the continent will replicate previous mistakes."
Efforts should be made in controlling car emissions by setting standards on exhausts, and China is already doing it, Liu says, adding that such moves need courage. This should start from increasing investment in research, he adds.
Previously in China, there were discrepancies between investment in science and technology and economic growth. In 1987, a national program called the National Knowledge Innovation Program was launched, thus increasing investment in science and technology to about 10 times that of the previous 20 years. "China is now knocking on the door as an innovative country. Its long-term investments are showing benefits in the economy. It has a competent team that meets the needs of the economy," says Liu.
Africa, and particularly Kenya, is in the best position to build such a team, he says. "Not necessarily to cover every aspect, but to support the essential part of the economy that holds a comparative advantage, similar to what Denmark and the Netherlands have done. Investing in science is costly but rewarding."
Among the most discussed topics during the UNEA 3 forum was the Belt and Road Initiative and the effect the huge infrastructure project will have on the environment. Liu says countries will have to implement different approaches and policies to increase the success rate of the initiative. "Strategies around conserved sites such as national parks and water bodies will be different from those for bare land and will thus need site-specific designs. The one-model-suits-all approach will not work. Plans will have to adjust to the socio-economic needs of host countries, too."

Some of the best memories you'll ever make can come from spontaneous travel. When time, matter and availability coincide and present you with the right moment, you've got to take it. Spontaneous travel is exciting, exhilarating and just good for the soul. So do something exciting with all those unused vacation days! It's better than folding laundry in your basement!
Where will your travels take you? A life path psychic has the answer!
Planned Travel vs. Spontaneous Travel
Sure planned travel has its perks—you can book massages and make day plans and pack according to your schedule. But the anticipation and the preparation can sometimes be an anxious exercise in overpacking and over-prepping. That's not the case with spontaneous travel. There are no expectations other than having an adventure.
Near or Far, Together or Alone
Spontaneous trips can be anything you do alone or with someone else; you can travel near or far, by plane or by car. However you travel, it's all about just going for it. It's a surge of empowerment when you decide on something knowing that no one and nothing can get in your way. Doing what you feel when you feel like it is just good for the soul because it makes you feel free and in charge of your own destiny. And even if you're usually at the beck and call of others, when it comes to spontaneous travel you're the captain of your ship. You're setting a course for who knows where and who cares where that can give you a pure rush of adrenaline.
Need Ideas?
So you're not the spontaneous type? We've got an app for that—in fact several. In Mashable.com's article "5 Apps for the Spontaneous Traveler" for instance, they suggest five apps that can help you put your ideas into action. So if you don't know where you want to go or even how you're going to get there, no worries. Let modern technology do the travel planning for you. One of their app choices is Booking.com, a site that gives you ideas for things to do and places to stay based on your GPS coordinates. So if you hop in the car and decide to go to a place you've never seen before, this app will offer tips on where to eat, sleep and what to do with your free time.
Another great app is Roadtrippers with over 100,000 destinations in their database and real-time, real-life user ratings on all of them. But if you're a die-hard city dweller without your own transportation or you simply don't have a car that's travel worthy, try a ZipCar membership. According to their website, you're just four simple steps away from hitting the road—"join, reserve, tap and drive."
If you'd prefer to fly off to distant lands but aren't quite sure yet what days you can get away, try Adioso, an app that lets you pick a place with an open-ended agenda. According to Mashable, "Let's say you want to fly to Tokyo for about 2 weeks sometime in July.

The Many Benefits of Using a Life Insurance Calculator

The Biocompatible Dentist
Holistic dentistry, also called alternative dentistry, unconventional dentistry, biologic dentistry, or biocompatible dentistry emphasizes an approach to dental care that considers the patient's dental health in the context of his or her entire physical as well as emotional or spiritual health. It is part of the alternative health movement. Although the holistic dental community is diverse in its practices and approaches, common threads include strong opposition to the use of amalgam, which contain mercury and other potentially toxic materials in dental fillings, nonsurgical approaches to gum disease (with the aid of a laser or ozone treatment), and the belief that root canals may endanger systemic health of the patient through the spread of trapped dental bacteria to the body, if the patient's immune system is already compromised.
The Holistic Dental Network defines the field as: "An approach to dentistry that promotes health and wellness instead of the treatment of disease." This approach to Dentistry encompasses both modern science and knowledge drawn from the world's great traditions on natural healing…Holistic Dentistry acknowledges and deals with the mind, body, and spirit of the patient, not just his or her "Teeth". [1] And lays out the following basic principles [1]:
- Proper nutrition for the prevention and reversal of degenerative dental disease
- Avoidance and elimination of toxins from dental materials
- Prevention and treatment of dental malocclusion (bite problems=physical imbalance)
- Prevention and treatment of gum disease at its biological basis
One key difference between a holistic dentist and a mainstream dentist is that the belief of every tooth is connected to a specific part of your body. Therefore, disease in a tooth (decay, infection) can lead to harm in other body parts:
For example, your wisdom tooth is connected with your heart, your front tooth (incisor) is connected with your kidney and sinus, and the canine (eye tooth) is connected with your liver, eye, hip and knee. Our present world makes it extremely difficult for us to become protected from toxins in the air, food, cosmetics, cell phone radiation, drugs, and stress. However, by living a health-conscious life we can reduce toxins as much as possible.
Dental Amalgam is NOT the Most Cost Effective Dental Restoration Material
While the general consensus has been, that dental amalgam is "a necessity" due to it being the most affordable alternative, this is actually far from the truth when you add in the cost of environmental pollution. Mercury from dental amalgam pollutes:
- Water via not only dental clinic releases and human waste (amalgam is by far the largest source of mercury in our wastewater)
- Air via cremation, dental clinic emissions, sludge incineration, and respiration; and
- Soil via landfills, burials, and fertilizer
The picture above shows how each tooth is connected to specific body parts.
We also suggest you get healthy BEFORE having your fillings removed, as you want your detoxification mechanisms optimized prior to removal. To help you get started, please see my nutrition plan. To remove mercury that has already accumulated in your body, we highly recommend reviewing my Mercury Detoxification Protocol, which details the things you can do right now to help rid your body of this toxin. If your mercury levels are seriously elevated, you should work with a knowledgeable health care practitioner to help you through the detoxification process to avoid further damage to your health.
Once in the environment, dental mercury converts to its even more toxic form, methylmercury, and becomes a major source of mercury in the fish you eat. The cost of cleaning up this environmental hazard is high. According to studies, amalgam is actually "more expensive than most, possibly all, other fillings when including environmental costs."

CIT Bank Review: Everything You Need to Know Before Opening an Account
Online Savings With a High Interest Rate
CIT Bank is an FDIC-insured online bank backed by more than 100 years of experience and featuring a streamlined offering of deposit accounts.
Who Is CIT Bank Best For?
CIT focuses on accounts that pay interest. Savings accounts, CDs, and money market options are all competitive. The bank may be a good fit if you want:
- A high annual percentage yield (APY) that's available to customers with large and small balances
- No monthly fees on savings accounts
- An online-only experience, mobile check deposits, and electronic transfers
- Customer service available seven days a week
- Free ACH transfers to external bank accounts
- An interest-bearing money market account that will soon offer online bill payment
Pros and Cons
Attractive rate when you deposit at least $100 per month or $25,000
Customer service available seven days a week
No monthly fees on savings accounts
Uncompetitive savings rates outside the highest Savings Builder account tier
No online bill pay, but CIT says it's coming soon
No checking account for everyday spending and bills
No ATM access or bank branches for cash withdrawals and local deposits
Types of Accounts
CIT Bank has an uncluttered lineup of products:
- Savings Builder
- Premier High Yield Savings
- Money Market Account
- CD accounts
Learn more about each type of account below.
Savings Builder
The Savings Builder account pays a high rate on balances that you can withdraw at any time.
- Pays up to 2.10% APY on your money
- Requires you deposit $100 per month or keep $25,000 in the account to earn the highest rate
- If you don't meet those requirements, you earn 1.22% APY
- $100 minimum initial deposit
- No monthly fees
The Savings Builder account is ideal for committed savers or those who have a significant account balance. If that's not you, you might be better off with a savings account with a lower required minimum balance to earn a high APY.
The Savings Builder account allows for up to six transfers out per month—the most banking regulations allow. As a result, it's a good place to store cash and take only occasional withdrawals. Checks made payable to you do not count against that limit.
Premier High Yield Savings
The Premier High Yield Savings account is similar to the Savings Builder account, but it does not offer the high-tier rate for keeping a large balance or making regular deposits. Given that, this option may make more sense if you think you can't meet the requirements of the Savings Builder account. But keep in mind that there are accounts at other banks that pay a better rate.
- Pays 1.55% APY
- $100 minimum initial deposit
- No monthly fees
Money Market Account
If you want easier access to your funds, the CIT Money Market Account may be a better option than a savings account. Some money market accounts provide debit cards and checks, but the CIT account does not. Still, you can use the funds to pay other individuals (peer-to-peer payments), and CIT says online bill pay is coming soon.
- Pays 1.85% APY
- Minimum $100 deposit to open an account
- No monthly service charges
- Allows payments to individuals through People Pay
- Allows you to fund PayPal payments of up to $50 per transaction (up to $50 per day)
The CIT Money Market Account is evolving into an excellent account but doesn't pay the highest rate or offer features like a debit card or the ability to write checks, which some of its competitors do.
CD Accounts
CIT Bank has several types of CDs, and unlike most other banks, it's enticing customers to choose some shorter-term CDs over its longest-term CDs. Still, other banks have higher rates on most CDs.
Standard CDs have a rate that's set for the life of the term, and CIT's 18-month CD is its best offering. These accounts require $1,000 to open and have no monthly maintenance fees.
|CIT Bank Standard CD Rates
|CD Term
|Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
|6 Months
|1 Year
|13 Months
|18 Months
|2 Years
|3 Years
|4 Years
|5 Years
No-Penalty CDs provide flexibility by allowing you to cash out before maturity. You receive a rate that's fixed for 11 months, but you can withdraw funds any time after seven days. The CD pays less than the Savings Builder account, so you may be better with that option unless you think rates are set to fall significantly (the Savings Builder account's rates are variable). The no-penalty CD rate is comparable to other no-penalty CDs on the market, depending on your account balance.
- Pays 2.05% APY
- Minimum $1,000 to open
- No monthly maintenance fees
Jumbo CDs pay slightly higher rates and require $100,000 to open.
|CIT Bank Jumbo CDs
|CD Term
|Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
|2 Years
|3 Years
|4 Years
|5 Years
Except for the No-Penalty CD, CIT CDs have early-withdrawal penalties when you cash out before maturity. The penalty amount depends on the term of your CD, and it can result in you receiving less than you originally deposited:
- 12 months or less: three months of interest
- More than one year, up to three years: six months of interest
- More than three years: 12 months of interest
Other Types of Accounts
Home loans: In addition to deposit accounts, CIT offers mortgages for home purchases and refinancing.
IRAs: CIT does not currently open new IRAs, but some customers have old IRAs with CIT.
Custodial accounts: All deposit account products can be set up for minors as custodial (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, or UTMA) accounts.
Business loans: CIT's origins are in commercial financing, and that's still a significant part of the bank's business. It offers financing for equipment, working capital, or franchise costs.
How to Bank With CIT
To open an account, visit CIT.com or call 855-462-2652. As with any financial institution in the U.S., you need to provide personal details to open an account:
- Names of all account owners
- Social Security number or Tax ID Number (TIN) of all account owners
- Addresses of account owners
- E-mail addresses and phone numbers of account owners
- Employment information
- Bank account information for any accounts you want to link to your CIT account
Funding: You can fund your account by check, ACH transfers (link up to 10 accounts), and wire transfers.
Customer service: Phone representatives are available seven days a week.
- Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern
- Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern
- Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Account Fees
CIT provides a relatively clear explanation of fees, and the list of charges is short because there's no checking account, (which is where most banks charge their fees).
- Outgoing wire transfer: $10. (No charge if you have an average daily balance of $25,000 or more.)
- Overdraft fee: $25
- Excessive withdrawal fee (after six per month): $10 each, with a maximum of $50 per month
- Stop payment on a check: $30
About CIT Bank
CIT Bank, headquartered in Pasadena, California, is owned by CIT Group, which started in 1908 when Henry Ittleson began lending money to businesses in St. Louis, Missouri. Operations are primarily online, but CIT Group also owns OneWest Bank, which has more than 60 branches in southern California.
During the financial crisis that started in 2007, CIT received bailout funds of roughly $2.3 billion. CIT declared bankruptcy in November 2009, eliminating the obligation to repay those funds to the U.S. Treasury. Observers say that although the bank was large, it was not "too big to fail."
CIT Bank uses industry-standard data protection measures like encrypted connections, ongoing monitoring, and multi-factor authentication to protect your account. Even so, data breaches are possible anywhere. Federal law protects you from certain types of fraud and errors in your account, but you need to report problems quickly for full protection.
CIT allows you to link up to 10 external bank accounts for ACH transfers, which should be more than enough for most people.
The Bottom Line
CIT Bank's Savings Builder account is hard to beat, and you don't need a huge balance to take advantage of the offer. The requirement to deposit $100 a month to earn a great interest rate puts it in reach for more people than the alternative requirement, which is maintaining a $25,000 balance. With no monthly fees and a money market account for occasional spending, CIT can be an excellent place for cash.
Although CIT pays an impressive rate on savings, the bank could benefit from expanding features for customers. For example, online bill pay is not yet available, although it's supposedly on the way. What's more, a debit card or check writing option would add functionality to the money market account. If you want those features now, you might look to other banks with high-rate checking accounts that come with a debit card, online bill pay, and checks.

The search for a vegetarian version of my udon noodles with a soy-ginger sauce continues. A quick recap: The pescatarian version of my udon noodles — topped with roasted salmon — earns an A from The Professor.
But I've been trying to develop a vegetarian version.
For my first attempt, I used fried cubes of tofu bought at Whole Foods, but the cubes were too big and required cutting. Early in our marriage, when I was still passionate about our wedding presents, I would have jumped at the opportunity to use the new steak knives. But, while I still love the knives (thanks again, Ruth and Andras!), using them to re-cube the tofu mid-meal was a drag.
I decided to fry my own. So next time, I sliced a brick of tofu in two, pressed out the water, and cut the halves into perfectly bite-able cubes. But things went downhill from there … and I decided to try baking
Again, I sliced the brick of tofu in half the long way and pressed out the excess water. I let it sit in a marinade of soy sauce, mirin, garlic and ginger. And then I baked it at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. And then another 5 minutes. And another five. I kept hoping that the tofu would start to crisp!
Eventually I gave up and served it. The result: the tofu was definitely tasty and brought more flavor to the dish than the unseasoned fried versions I'd already tried. But it was also spongy. It lacked any crispness.
"If you'd never served me the noodles with salmon, I might have thought this was great," said The Professor. "But it's definitely not as good as the version with fish."
So the search continues. But I am optimistic, in part because my friend Joanne, who doesn't cook, offered up her fiance, who does. I'm hoping to get a lesson in frying tofu from Sean soon.

Understanding the Science of Eyewitness Identifications
Understanding the Science of Eyewitness Identifications
UC Riverside psychologist Steven Clark will discuss how the science of eyewitness identification can inform the criminal justice system and public policy.
(July 5, 2011)
NEWS MEDIA CONTACTName: Bettye Miller
Tel: (951) 827-7847
E-mail: email@example.com
Steven E. Clark
New procedures by some states and local jurisdictions for conducting eyewitness identifications are intended to reduce those false identifications. In California, the Legislature has considered several bills designed to create guidelines for eyewitness identification procedures. The Legislature passed Senate Bill 756, but it was vetoed by Gov. Schwarzenegger in 2007. A new bill, AB 308, is being considered in the California Assembly.
Current research suggests that the new procedures do reduce the risk of false identifications of the innocent, but those procedures may also reduce the number of correct identifications of the guilty, according to Steven E. Clark, professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside. Clark will discuss the science of eyewitness identification at noon on July 14 at the University of California Center in Sacramento, 1130 K Street, Room LL3.
Registration is requested for Clark's presentation, "Eyewitness Identification Reform: Psychological Science and Public Policy," at uccs.ucdavis.edu/events/2011-July-14-StevenClark.
"These new procedures make witnesses less likely to make an identification," said Clark, who is known internationally for his research on human memory and eyewitness identification. "That means that innocent people are identified less often, and guilty people are identified less often." Policy decisions to implement or not implement new procedures are complicated by a fundamental trade-off between false identifications that are avoided and correct identifications that are lost.
"This raises a number of questions," he said. "What is the 'exchange rate' between the number of
correct identifications lost and the number of false identifications avoided? And, what should that exchange rate be? The answer to the first question is provided by the scientific research on eyewitness identification. The answer to the second question – the 'should' question - is more complicated. It requires policy-makers to consider the social costs of both kinds of errors – the false identifications of the innocent as well as the false non-identifications of the guilty."
Clark explained that psychological science can best assist policy-makers by providing a clear and comprehensive picture of the relevant data, and by developing new theories and new frameworks that better connect eyewitness research to public policy.
Clark has been involved in more than 200 criminal and civil cases, has consulted with prosecution and defense attorneys, and has testified as an expert in federal and state courts in six states, including California. Much of his research has been funded by the National Science Foundation.
The current status of AB 308 may be found at www.aroundthecapitol.com/Bills/AB_308/20112012/
The University of California, Riverside (www.ucr.edu) is a doctoral research university, a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world. Reflecting California's diverse culture, UCR's enrollment has exceeded 21,000 students. The campus opened a medical school in 2013 and has reached the heart of the Coachella Valley by way of the UCR Palm Desert Center. The campus has an annual statewide economic impact of more than $1 billion.

I shot Anna's sister's senior pictures in NYC a few years ago, so I was thrilled when Anna contacted me to shoot her seniors in the city as well. It was a typical hot and muggy NYC summer day- we started out in the Meatpacking District, grabbed some shots along the High Line, and then finished up in Central Park. As usual, I couldn't stop shooting until we were literally out of light. 🙂 Thanks Anna, (and dad Jim!) for another great shoot in New York City!

"In 1972, when Jimmy Rodway showed Errol Dunkley a poem he had written, Dunkley was already a bona fide music star. After Dunkley had made some adjustments to the lines to hone them into a song, recorded at Dynamic Studios, he became the singer of an enduring reggae anthem which has long outlasted the number-one position it held on the charts for some weeks. The song is Black Cinderella, which came out on Rodway's Fimi Time label and is embraced as a tribute to black women. …"
'Black Cinderella' developed from a poem

Errol Dunkley – Movie Star (1974)Posted in Big Youth, Dub, Errol Dunkley, Gregory Isaacs with tags Big Youth, Dub, Errol Dunkley, Gregory Isaacs on May 27, 2013 by 1960s: Days of Rage
"In one of those sad twists of fate, today most reggae fans are more familiar with the DJ version of this song, than Errol Dunkley's impassioned original, thanks to the success of Big Youth's 'Every Nigger Is a Star', which hit big in both Jamaica and the UK. A pity, because Dunkley's vocal version is absolutely sublime. Not released until 1975, the song was actually cut a few years earlier, back when the singer and Gregory Isaacs were sharing studio time to further the fortune of their newly launched label African Museum. In fact, 'Movie Star' was cut at the pair's first joint session. The smokiest of brass, elegant piano, jangles of lead guitar, bubbly organ, and compulsive rhythm guitar riff, all propelled by the propulsive drums and bass line made this riddim a star, and one which continues to be versioned to this day. But as fabulous as the backing is, it's the singer that made this song unforgettable, as Dunkley vows his love to his nobody of a girl. Lack of fame or fortune is meaningless to him, and even if her dress sense is equally bereft, he adores her regardless, a sentiment he makes clear with every word he passionately sings. That empowering emotion, the heart-felt, semi-cultural lyrics theme, and the sensational backing all combined into this phenomenal masterpiece. Dunkley released a deluge of stellar singles, this was one of the most crucial."
