Sami Zaatari vs. James White: "Jesus: Divine Son of God or Prophet of Allah?"
75 comments:
- Sami Zaatari said...
indeed it was one sided, white hardly responded to any of the 6 attributes, and gave a terrible response concerning Mary. Shamoun's 'brief' commentary is only a further proof of that, Shamoun knew he had to do something to bail dr. white out. nearly 5000 have viewed it now, the majority of the comments says it all, :) one sided indeedio!

Am I the only one who is amazed when muslims talk about passages where Jesus mentions "the Father", without seeing any implications here?
- March 12, 2009 at 7:41 AM
"I love this verse. Christians quote this to prove Jesus was God, but they don't quote the next one."

Sami- don't forget to explain yourself in the post immediately before this, Censoring the Christian Debater. We're all wondering what you have to say in response.

The video begins with "the FATHER is greater than I". How can there be any question that Jesus believed he was the Son of God?

I never understood how Muslims could maintain that Jesus never claimed to be God, when the Jewish authorities condemned Jesus to death on the basis of BLASPHEMY (Claiming to be the Son of God)!

# 1: claiming that other peoplle in the Bible are called (not in the samme sence... but they'll neber say this to you...) "son of God";
# 2: claiming that being "Son of God" is not the samme as "God";
# 3: saying those passages habe been corrupted and that Jesus neber spoke them...

Surprise, surprise. Here is what I found Yahya Haydour Seymour posting on a Christian blog concerning Jalal Abualrub:
Dr. White may have won that debate hands down as well as his rather pathetic debate with the Pseudo-Shaykh Jalal Abu alRuh,
However it's a bit like me going out and debating a Pseudo-Christian Scholar like Jimmy Swaggart and boasting over a cheap victory like that.
Shabir Ally wiped the floor with White in the second debate, and White kept throwing in Red Herrings in their first debate.
By: Yahya Hayder Seymour on April 23, 2008 at 9:33 am, at http://rdtwot.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/no-scholars-for-you/
Wow, so Jalal is a pseudo-shaykh on the same level as a Jimmy Swaggart. And yet you have someone like Sami who teams up with a Shia who dislikes Salafi shaykhs like Jalal.
And it is only in Yahya's miraj that Shabir beat White twice. - March 12, 2009 at 4:27 PM
- David Wood said...
Well, I'm happy that Yahya (unlike most Muslims) recognizes that Jimmy Swaggart was a lame debate opponent. The most popular debate in the Middle East is Deedat vs. Swaggart, so many Muslims clearly have no problem declaring victory over a horrible opponent and proclaiming this as proof that Islam is true.
What was the context of Yahya's first sentence? What was the other debate that James won hands down? - March 12, 2009 at 4:35 PM
- Fernando said...
Yahya (glade to see your name backe hear...) supposely said: «Shabir Ally wiped the floor with White in the second debate»...
1) Yahya: dide you really say thate? I can believe in itt...
2) Yahya: were you seriously spoken? I can not believe in itt... - March 12, 2009 at 4:45 PM
- ben malik said...
The first debate which yahya has in mind was the one on the inspiration of the NT, the second was on whether Jesus chose to die as a vicarious sacrifice on behalf of God's people.

Here are some articles written on the commentaries of Ben Malik's reviews of Shabir Ally and James White Debates, I found at Call to Monotheism website. The articles also include the links to the orginal articles that Ben Malik wrote as himself, Sam Shamoun.

I will inform your hero Shamoun since he has been planning on addressing that anonymous kid who wasn't courageous to include his name. I am sure he will be glad to know that it was you, snake nazam, who wrote them. - March 12, 2009 at 10:41 PM

Hi David Wood, congratulations for your blogs.
Sorry for the off-topic; I'm not interested in muslims, but in philosophical criticisms of atheism and metaphysical naturalism.
One of my particular interest is in philosophically sound replies to the new atheist, like Peter Williams' book A Sceptic Guide to Atheism or Edward Feser's book "The Last Superstition", the latter named by ForeWord Magazine a finalist for the Book of the Year Award in the field of religion:
Your writings in the website "Answering Infidels" are very good, and I'd like to ask you if you have new articles, papers or reviews on atheism or methaphysical naturalism. I hope you can keep writing more articles on it. (in fact, I suggest you to write a complete book on it)
Also, have you published or are you going to publish a book or paper on the "problem of evil"? Are they available online? Both the "problem of evil" and the "problem of free-will" are very interesting philosophical topics for me.
I'm not religious, but I have a strong interest in spirituality and philosophy of religion and mind.

Uh, maybe because the people who run the blog as well as several of the people who comment here are all debaters? (Just a guess on my part.) - March 13, 2009 at 1:55 AM
- Nakdimon said...
Since the debate about Muhammad is off, I will make an audio rebuttal to Sami's claims in debate with Dr White and an assessment of the debate with me on the same subject. I will take his false claims one by one and shoot them down and expose the misinterpretation and total ignorance of Sami when it comes to the Biblical text. It's time to put an end to Sami's deceptive tactics. He throws anything and everything out there in an audio debate and hopes that it sticks. He wont have a written debate with a set format because then he will have to be exegetical and he plainly sucks at that. So keep an eye out for the audio I will make.

Jime... welcome to this blog... hoppe to see you againe around here!!!
Just some questionne (I'm also bery interested in the connection between religions and spiritualitie...): biy aislating "religion" and "spirituality", do you agree that a person can be a "spiritual being" without being a "religious being"?
ore do you think he just can ignore this latter dimention and live the first one?
ore bye religion do you mean an "institutional organization of spirituality" or an "institutional organization of the personal religious dimention"?
thankes... - March 13, 2009 at 4:50 AM

Sami wins the "best hair helmet contest"!
As far as the debate goes, Sami just wasn't listening to Dr. White's points.
Nice work Dr. White. - March 13, 2009 at 11:00 AM
- Jime said...
Hi Fernando,
Yes, by religion, I mean an institutional organization of spirituality that includes a predetermined set of belief regarding questions as God, souls, afterlife, or similar topics etc.
By spirituality, I mean a wider concept, that is, simply the search of a spiritual dimension (provided it exist), not necessarily limited to an institutional organization of of it.
I'm not saying that supporters of a "religion" (as refered to above) are not spiritual; my point is only that I don't limit the concept of spirituality to organized religion.
For example, regarding the afterlife (a topic that I've been researching for the last 7 years), I have an empirical approach to it. I mean, I don't "believe it" due to some set of predetermined religious beliefs, but that I try that my belief on it depends on the empirical evidence supporting it (provided that it exists, of course).
Some metaphysical naturalists assume that if you accept an afterlife (or have an interest in it), then you're a religious fundamentalist or a cover christian, or are a coward that is afraid of death. However, there are contemporary secular philosophers that accept an afterlife (or the possibility of it), on purely empirical ground, some examples:
-Philosopher Robert Almeder, professor of philosophy at Georgia State University. See an interview with him:
-Philosopher Neal Grossman, associate professor of philosophy in University of Illinois at Chicago. Hear an interview with him:
-Stephen Braude, Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department at the University of Maryland Baltimore County:
They accept (with more or less conviction) the evidence suggestive of an afterlife, on purely empirical grounds. I include myself in that group.
As I accept the evidence for it (at least, the best of it), I'm intellectually forced to research about a spiritual dimesion of human beings and the philosophical implications of that evidence; but I'm not (and I don't want be) limited by a specific religious framework to do that research.
I hope my english is good enough to make clear my opinion.

Well Professor Wood, I wouldn't say you can verify that "Most Muslims" claim that the victory of the late Shaykh Deedat (ra) over Swaggart was proof that Islam is true. Neither would I say that Deedat's debate with Swaggart is the most popular in the Mid East, during the time I lived in three Mid East countries I never saw it on sale once.
Sam Shamoun: hey snake nazzam, are you taking credit for those replies? hehehe
I will inform your hero Shamoun since he has been planning on addressing that anonymous kid who wasn't courageous to include his name. I am sure he will be glad to know that it was you, snake nazam, who wrote them.

What I do think is hilarious is that Muslims on this blog are rather obsessed with the identity of Ben Malik. It's become an eternal struggle within this blog... like David said, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. :-)

Yahya... dispite you habent answer my questiones before (too busy I guess...) here's a simple one: were you the person who presentted Sami Zaatari in the beggining of thee debate with Doctor White?
Iff Yahya keeps is actitude hand don't answer, can anyone gibe me a answer? thanks...
BlackBaron said: «Sami wins the "best hair helmet contest"!...
yep... that' whie I asked him yesterday in the other thread: «coulde you tell me what kind of hair phollicle medicine do you use in order to habe susch an imponent hair (one of the beste aspects in your presentation...)?»
Jime... thanks for your answer... and youre englishe is mutch better than mine...
butt would you agree that we, as persons, habe a religious dimention seperated (previous) from an organized religion?
If yes, want would it bee the diferences from the "religious dimention" and the "spiritual dimention"? or would they be sinomimous?
thanks... - March 13, 2009 at 1:58 PM
- ben malik said...
The other snake chimes in. Your hate of the true God is clear in how you constantly have to bring in the Holy Spirit to insult him. Yet doesn't your own stone licking, pagan prophet speak of the Holy Spirit? So are you saying that the Holy Spirit which your idol worshipping messenger believed in is not the same Spirit that the true prophets and apostles proclaimed? It seems so in light of your constant blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Thanks for agreeing with us that Mo's god is not the true God but Satan who duped your messenger into following a lie which leads to hell.
And I am sure that Jalal and his group really enjoyed reading your disparaging remarks concerning his qualifications.
This is what happens to Muslims like Yahya who follow an ilah who takes pride in being the greatest deceiver of them all, a prophet who had no shame in breaking his own oaths, and who thinks prostituting women in the name of temporary marriages is moral.
Keep up the fantastic job, Yahya ibn Muta, since you show why people should never follow Mo or his taghut. - March 13, 2009 at 2:40 PM
- Anthony Rogers said...
While Yahya has no compunction of speaking irreverantly and intemperately of the Holy Spirit, he just as easily gushes all over Muhammad, Husayn, and other creatures. How absolutely telling (see Romans 1:18ff.)
If you ever read some of his blog pieces in this vein, you will see what I mean. Warning: it is absolutely nauseating. - March 13, 2009 at 11:06 PM

so....who is Ben Malik?
- March 14, 2009 at 1:11 AM
- Anthony Rogers said...
Who is Ben Malik? Some say he is Sam Shamoun, still others say that he is Samuel Zwemmer, or even Al Kindy come back from the dead.
But if you want to know who I think he is, I put my money on the view that says Ben Malik is Muhammad himself who was given a very temporary respite from Hades to warn his followers that he duped them, but only on condition of anonymity (hence the alias). - March 14, 2009 at 2:01 AM
- Anthony Rogers said...
By the way, I should add: although it seems to be the orthodox view among Muslims around here that Ben Malik is Sam Shamoun, this can by no means be determined with certainty. After all, I have seen three or four different Muslims on this blog identify Malik with Shamoun, but since they all use different words and come at it from different angles and vantage points, there testimony can hardly be received as valid.
It might be okay to say as a matter of wishful thinking or faith that Malik and Shamoun are one and the same, but this idea can't claim any historical merit.
Also, the claim that some have made that Malik appears in various ways to be Sam Shamoun, such as by the way that he writes and by the fact that he provides links to Shamoun's articles (among others), is by no means conclusive. After all, according to a book I have that fell from the sky, it says that the appearance of Shamoun was put on Malik to leave Muslims to wander about in confusion. - March 14, 2009 at 2:20 AM
- David Wood said...
Perhaps Allah is deceiving us into thinking that Ben Malik is Sam Shamoun, similar to the way he deceived billions of people into believing that Judas was Jesus.
- March 14, 2009 at 2:29 AM
- Anthony Rogers said...
Speaking of Judas and Jesus...
I hate to complicate things, but have you considered that Allah could be tricking us into believing that he is deceiving us?
If that is the case - and how could any Muslim object in principle after already granting such a colossal act of deception on the part of Allah? - then this would mean that Jesus really did die on the cross after all. Wouldn't it? - March 14, 2009 at 3:05 AM

This is for brother David Wood. David, if you go here to this link,

Is there any way to break this 2 hour and 20 minute break up into at least 2 parts?
I have tried to watch and listen several times and it always stops at around the half way point, around after 1 hour and 30 minutes.
I am enjoying it so far, Dr. White is refuting Sami very well. Muslims don't seem to want to try and understand what Christianity fully teaches about Jesus as "the Son of God" ( the Qur'an calls someone who travels "the son of the road" and the tablet in heaven, "the mother of the books") The Son of God/ God the Son, means the Kalamat'allah (The Word of God) (John 1:1-5)) from all eternity who then, took on flesh in time and entered into time and flesh(John 1:14), to have conversation and relate to humanity, to teach them the gospel and be a model, and most of all to allow Himself to be killed by sinful people in order to be the perfect sacrifice for the sins of His people from all nations. Revelation 5:9; Matthew 1:21-23 - March 14, 2009 at 4:43 PM

Then, He proved Himself to be the Son of God/God in the Flesh by raising Himself from the dead.

- Nazam said...
The links to the articles that I posted were not written by me, if they were then I be very happy to identify myself as the author rather then hide myself behind a pseudonomose name like Shamoun does on many occasions. Here is Shamoun given a link to a article on a blog that he says he wrote but is using the identity of Ben Malik.
I respect the Bible and in the God of the Bible and believe in the H.Spirit. But if now someone is throwing insults at his religion then Shamoun/Ben Malik has got himself to blame for his behaviour. Especially after James White came on this blog and reproofed him for calling other "snakes" "liars".
"...I would like to say to Ben Malik, whoever you are: brother, your language is getting in the way of your message, big time. Constant use of terms like "snake" and "liar" and the constant denigration inherent in your language is reprehensible"
If you insult other people then they are going to do the same to you and instead of bringing people close to your faith they will repel you.
Hi David (not Wood) I've missed you my friend, hope everything is cool; family, health, etc. - March 14, 2009 at 7:35 PM
- ben malik said...
Hey the snake chimes in once again.
As far as your link goes, Shamoun has used that name Ben Malik and I don;t think he has ever denied that. Yet you live under the impression that this is his nic. How do you know that isn't a nic which someone he knows uses and allowed him to write under?
And as I have said, I maybe Shamoun, I maybe his alter ego, I may even be his twin brother or sister. WHO CARES!
I did accept White's corrections at the time but, as I have said, there is a time to expose fools, liars, mockers, blasphemers just as the Bible says.
You happen to be one of those who need to be answered according to their folly since you think you are wise. Since you have nothing positive to contribute all you do is come here with your hit and runs, mentioning Shamoun every chance you get. Is Shamoun your other messenger whom you mention when you pray?
Do you say that there is no God but allah, and Muhammad is his messenger, but Shamoun is Muhammad's savior? Since you are so in love with Shamoun and since your life seems to be devoted entirely to him as opposed to Muhammad I can get him to sign your Quran for you. Send me your address so I can forward it to Shamoun.
Anyway, good to know that you are not that nameless Muslim who was too ashamed to attach his real name to those laughable replies.
It's a matter of time before Islam disappears for good. Thank God for that day! - March 14, 2009 at 10:43 PM

And now the Christians are chiming in by making fun of the Muslims' hair - for the record, I'd like to say that I do not condone making fun of each others' physical appearances. This can create schisms which detract one another from the truth.
Unless, of course, Sami's okay with it. Then it's just friendly joking. :-) But I've seen nothing to that effect yet. - March 14, 2009 at 11:14 PM

I actually meant nothing malicious by my comments about Sami's hair. It was just friendly joking (Being of Italian, Spanish and Afro-Caribbean decent I have a MASSIVE head of hair if I let it grow. I joke about myself in this regard all time). I've been teased for having a "hair-helmet" more times than I could possibly count! And I actually was being serious when I said he should keep it.
I guess I didn't realize at the time how that might come across, with no one here actually having seen me.
If I at all offended you or hurt your feelings in any way I sincerely apologize. As much as I have taken great objection to the positions you hold in the past, I hope you will know I have no malice toward you as a person. It was just a joke from one guy with a massive shuck of hair, to another.
If you would be so kind as to remove my previous comment, I would appreciate it (for some reason I am unable to access the trash-can feature to remove it myself). Thank you. - March 15, 2009 at 2:16 AM

I would like to point out the inconsistency of every muslim apologist we have ever had.They like to quote the bible to try and disprove Jesus as God,yet this very same book clearly states Jesus is God,plain and simple.Why do they not take the whole book in context?Why do they want Jesus to have uttered the exact words I AM GOD!even though Jesus uttered the famous "I AM",they wont accept that or anything that says he is God at all.Even if Jesus had said in the bible "I AM GOD" does anyone here honestly think that todays muslims such as Sami would leave islam and believe in the true Jesus?No never instead they call him Isa,which the jews mockingly called jesus after the prophet Esau,in the New Testament Book of Hebrews in Chapter 12, verse 15-16, depicts Esau as unspiritual for thoughtlessly throwing away his birthright,as the jews considered him rebellious,they mokingly called Jesus after him for jokes,and muhammad took this as his real name or one of his followers.When we quote any of pauls letters,the muslims will say he is a false prophet,yet it should be their job in the search of truth to take the whole book as you find it,as every word in our bible is "God breathed" and is God's word.Yet they pick and choose what they want from the bible to try and prove there case.Yet they say it is corrupted at the same time,and they quote it when trying to prove something,how twofaced if this?Cant they say no matter what you show us we wont believe,they should be honest about this,any sane person can see the bible has not been changed,listen to the bart e v j white debate and you can see James white teach him a real lesson.If bart was to try and do to the quran what he is attacking the bible for,muslims would call for him to be killed,as he would totally expose the quran in the publics eyes.All the muslims know the bible states Jesus is God,why dont they start to say we just dont believe it no matter what it says,instead of playing these silly games.They make themselves look really silly in the eyes of others,they wont believe even if Jesus came today and said im God,they still wouldnt believe.

Jesus never claimed to be God Almighty?
"Behold He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
I know this might get in the way of a perfectly bad argument, but all you have to do if you are a Muslim is ignore the above passage or come up with some specious way of re-interpreting or otherwise rejecting it out of hand. - March 15, 2009 at 10:32 AM
- David said...
Attention all name callers: cut it out! It is childish behavior that is ineffective and offensive. Of course, you intend to be offensive, but is that really accomplishing anything constructive? Are you trying to win an argument at all costs and prove yourself right, or are you trying to faithfully witness to the grace of Christ?
I know this will not dissuade anyone at all from caustic behavior, but how about those who name the name of Jesus start speaking up when the fellow believers cross the line here. I'm ashamed at some of the ungodly aggression towards Muslims than I am observing on this blog. Quit with the lame excuse, "I'm going to give you some of your own medicine..." garbage. How about trying to turn the other cheek. Doesn't that sound a little bit like... let's see... Jesus? Yes, I believe it does!
How about it people, do you think you might want to start practicing living out the Gospel in public? If you can't do it here I doubt seriously you would have been very successful in the Roman Coliseum.
Just one opinion from an inconsistent shallow Christian brother.

Could you PLEASE remove my first comment in this thread. I have spent the last 40 minutes trying to get the trash-can feature to work so I can remove it, but it's not operative for me. Thanks.
I guess I was not prepared for partaking in discussions with insults and all kinds of unfortunate behavior, while still remaining above that type of behavior.
I fear I may have participated in making the Gospel appear a distasteful thing :-(
David and Nabeel, God bless as you continue in your important work.
It's been nice talking with everyone around here. I will now remove myself from the priviledge of commenting. May God have mercy on me. Bye. - March 15, 2009 at 5:48 PM

lol lol guys, take it easy, im not offended by the hair comments!!!!!!!!!!!! one of my close friends is always telling me to cut it. this debate was back in november, my hair was in medium phase back then, i got even more hair now, i just want it to grow and grow, i dont plan to have it cut until start of summer time, ill shave it all off.
as for hair products, no, i dont use any, its all natural, i just put water, and comb comb comb, although i do sometimes think maybe i should put some gel, but some say gel can cause hair loss after a while, so just use the water and the comb.
there you go, hope you have enjoyed that, now i want to talk about David's muscles, i have started going to the gym for the past month, Nabeel and David what advice would you give for gym goers? Nabeel you have the good tall cut physique, David you got the more bulky muscular look. lol. - March 15, 2009 at 11:08 PM

El-Cid: Please don't stop posting here. That's exactly what the enemy wants. We all have our moments, that is why we have the precious blood of Jesus that cleanses us and restores us to fellowship.
We need your portion here. It is inevitable that as we share the gospel with passion, we can get caught up in the heat of the moment, but at least you have a repentant heart.
May we all turn back to the Lord in humility as quickly as you have done. None of us is perfect, save the perfect lamb of God Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
God bless you. - March 16, 2009 at 12:07 AM

Seeing that Sami has linked to my comments here in his recent blasphemy against the Holy Spirit I thought I comment so as to further illustrate what Islam does to people's minds. He quotes portions of a dialogue that supposedly took place between Shamoun and I assume some Muslim where Sami claims that Shamoun denied ever using the name Ben Malik. I invite people to go and read the words that are supposed to be from Shamoun to see that even in what Shamoun posted he never denied that he has ever used this name, ever. He denies that he used this name in the context of a discussion with some unnamed individual or in that particular forum. Sami just wanted to find another excuse to blaspheme the Holy Spirit and in so doing give further prove that the same wicked Spirit that molested Muhammad is now molesting his mind.
So Sami, nice try but all you managed to do was provide further evidence why you are a dishonest blasphemer, just as Keith Truth and others have proven. It seems that you have taken Mo's sunna to the extreme since you are now doing your best to imitate his illiteracy by your misreading of people's words and the context in which they are made.
Hey man if you take pride in being just as illiterate as Muhammad then more power to you. hehehe - March 16, 2009 at 1:04 AM

Well it's greatt to see how things are going... spetially when Jesus himself called Herod a "fox" (Lk. 13,32)... obviously we have to go abobe words and undestand what He means: Herod was a stealer, a dubious, an hipocrite person...
But I saw, and re-saw, all the posts, about Sami hair, and no one was, by anie means, rudde... so: El-Cid and BlackBaron: don't desapear... no one was makking foony to Sami (eben when he's foonie...) but, in a spetial way, saying: "what a great hair..."... and I would, defenitely, habe saide the same thing I said to Sammi, if it was doctor White who had such a tropical forest of hair in his head...
but yes: we all should be more carefull withe these thingues... nott because they can bringue bad reputattion to Christianity but juste because they're intrisiquely against Jesus' message... and when - March 16, 2009 at 4:08 AM

Semper wrote: "Jesus never claimed to be God Almighty?
"Behold He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
I know this might get in the way of a perfectly bad argument, but all you have to do if you are a Muslim is ignore the above passage or come up with some specious way of re-interpreting or otherwise rejecting it out of hand."
Hows about this one:
Acts 1: 9And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? THIS JESUS, who has been taken up from you into heaven, WILL COME IN JUST THE SAME WAY AS YOU HAVE WATCHED HIM GO INTO HEAVEN." 12Then they returned to Jerusalem FROM THE MOUNT CALLED OLIVES, WHICH IS NEAR JERUSALEM, a Sabbath day's journey away.
So here we see that it is said that Yeshua will come in the exact same way as he has gone into heaven. We also see that he went up FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES! Now here is the prophecy of YHWH coming to His people.
Zecharyah 14:3Then YHWH will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. 4 In that day HIS FEET WILL STAND ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, WHICH IS IN FRONT OF JERUSALEM ON THE EAST; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south… 9And YHWH will be king over all the earth; in that day YHWH will be ONE, and His name ONE. - March 16, 2009 at 4:26 AM

Yes, Nakdimon. True. True. The Zechariah passage is certainly a good cross-reference establishing Christ's deity - a comparison the apostle's would have been able to make when Christ uttered the words found in Acts 1. (This is a point Muslims often miss; the context in which Christ spoke was that of first century Israel, where the people were steeped in the law and the prophets. In other words, Jesus didn't have to parrot the exact words Muslims lay down for Him; rather, He could speak in such a way that those who searched the Scriptures would be able to recognize who He was claiming to be.)
Yet, I was thinking of the contention that Jesus never directly declared Himself to be God Almighty. Certainly Acts 1 is direct. The only reply that can be made to this is to say that these words were not actually spoken by Jesus, but there is no textual basis for such a denial; all the manuscripts agree. They might also try and re-interpret the passage, but since I don't have the same active imagination as some Muslims, I just have to wait with baited breath to see if any of them will apply their eisegetical hands to it. Just in case they do give it a shot, it should be like watching "exegetical cats on hot textual bricks". - March 16, 2009 at 10:11 AM

Hi David,
Good to hear from you again.
I am current doing a modual on Paul and Jesus. Unfortunetly I am quite behind my course work as I've got two essays due in a couple of weeks.
One is, "Discuss the view that Jesus is best understood as a prophet" and the other one is, which I haven't yet started, "Is there a central theame to the Kingdom of God sayings".
I haven't yet decided what to do my next modual on but I'm thinking on "the epistle to the Romans" but I would also like to do some Old Testament theology.
The problem is that at the Uni that I am studying, they lack Old Testament scholars so there isn't much for Old Testament studies. - March 17, 2009 at 5:31 AM

Semper Paratus said : "It looks like Sami and Osama fell from the same tree, employing as they do the same kind of "logic" and methodology."
...or lack thereof !
Here's an example the kinds of conversations we have with Muslim apologists:
"Why are you a muslim?"
"Because the Quran is the word of God"
"Why should I believe it's the word of God?"
"Because it is perfectly preserved"
"So is Lord of the Rings, should I believe that too?"
"No, the Lord of the Rings doesn't claim to be the word of God"
"So I should believe any book that is preserved and claims to be the word of God?"
"Come on, there are so many miracles in the Qur'an, things that noone knew about"
"And what about pythagoras (570BCE) who determined the size of the earth and its shape, should we believe that he was a prophet?"
"I don't know, but look, the Quran describes the stages of embryological development"
"Actually, the Quran gets it wrong, it puts bones before flesh when it's actually the other way around, and the bible already talks about this in the book of Job"
"I don't believe the bible"
"It's corrupted."
"1 john 5:7, Mark ch 16 long ending, John 7:53-8:11."
"Those weren't in the original manuscripts, we already know"
"See it's corrupted !"
"No, modern bibles mention this in their footnotes"
"Jesus wasn't the Son of God"
"Why not?"
"Because Allah cannot have a Son Surah 6:101"
"But Allah can have a Son - 39:4"
"We cannot worship three gods - 5:119"
"We don't believe in three Gods, we only believe in one God"
"No you dont, you worship the trinity, that's three Gods"
"No, we believe one God - Mark 12:29,revealed in three coeternal, coequal persons, namely the Father (John 5:18), Son(John 5:23) (Rev 22:13-16), and Spirit and Mary is not one of them"
"Jesus can't be God or the Son of God because God cannot die"
"I agree God cannot die, but God took on human flesh"
"This is blasphemy!"
"Because now you are saying that God can go to the toilet and get tired and get hungry"
"Jesus voluntarily emptied Himself of His Divine perogatives and was willing to be restricted by the flesh"
"Haha, if Jesus died, and Jesus is God, who was running the Universe?"
"God the Father"
"God the Father"
"But if Jesus is God then He is the Father and Son and..."
"No, Christ is the Son of God"
"You Christians say we believe 1 God, but then you contradict yourself because if Jesus is God and the Father is God and the Holy Spirit is God, that's 3 Gods"
"No, 1 God"
"How can 3 Gods be one God????"
"No, I never said three Gods can be one God"
"Yes you said..."
"3 persons, share the one divine Being of God"
"1+1+1 = 3 not 1!"
"I agree"
"No you say 1+1+1 = 1"
"No, it'd be more accurate to say 1*1*1 = 1"
"Why do I need Jesus to die on the cross for me anyway? Your God is so weak He can't just forgive."
"Well He could just forgive, but that would undermine His attribute of Justice."
"You Christians just think that Jesus died for all of your sins and then you can do whatever you want"
"No we don't believe we can do whatever we want. We're commanded by scripture to live a Holy manner of life"
"But if you sin, you'll still go to paradise!"
"But you just said that Allah forgives without any form of propitiation, so by your logic, muslims sin and go to paradise as well."
"Well, we don't need a Savior. Why should I have to pay for Adam's sin? I didn't eat the apple"
"Well the bible never says Adam ate the apple. So you think that no man can ever be responsible for another man's sins?"
"Right, Allah is so just and merciful he makes the evil men pay for their own sins. Christianity is so stupid, it let's evil people get off without having to pay for anything. Imagine what would happen if the courts did that."
"Actually the bible teaches us to first make amends with those we have sinned against before we come before God. So if you think that no man can pay for another man's sins, why will Christians and Jews have to pay for Muslims sins?"
"Why should I pay for a muslim's sins. If you rape someone, why should I have to pay for your crime?"
"haha the bible teaches rape"
"No it doesn't, please answer the question, why should I have to pay for your sins if every man is responsible for their own sins?"
"That's a lie! We don't beleive that!"
"Sahih Muslim says in Book 037, Number 6668 Abu Burda reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians. (As far as I think), Abu Raub said: I do not know as to who is in doubt. Abu Burda said: I narrated it to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, whereupon he said: Was it your father who narrated it to you from Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)? I said: Yes."

Sami Zaatari isnt a good debater, because he has to mis- represent his opponent's postion all the time. I was once listening to him debate sam shamoun and shamoun had to repeat himself over and over because sami was trying to mis represent what sam said and Christianity. To be honest Zaatari isnt qualified to debate and shouldnt be taken seriously.

I assume you are refering to Sam's brief analysis of the Zaatari vs. White debate when you say: "Sam came to rescue of james but he failed to answer the points raised by Sami."
Actually, as Sam himself pointed out in his article, Dr. White didn't need rescuing: "Dr. White soundly refuted Zaatari's irrational arguments and distortion of Biblical truth."
In addition, Sam wasn't trying to address every point raised by Sami in the debate, he was only looking at "a few particular egregious errors that Zaatari made".
Indeed, there was no need for Sam to address everything that Zaatari said, because "Zaatari's deliberate manhandling of the Bible's teachings have been exposed and documented countless number of times on our website and by others..." - March 23, 2009 at 3:22 PM

Sir - In case you noticed, the conversation I posted was a hypothetical one, and it is a response to what Muslims claim Christianity teaches. Naturally I would refer to the bible since it is the bible that is being questioned and taken out of context by the muslim. It's like if I were to speak about verses in the Qur'an, I would naturally expect a Muslim a respond with verses from the Qur'an.
The point was not an attempt to prove everything is true just because the bible says so, it was simply to respond to mischaracteriztions of the bible itself.
Note also that I did refer to a verse from the Qur'an in the conversation when talking about whether Allah can or cannot have a son.
I would suggest in the future, that you interact with the points that are mentioned rather than resorting to name-calling. I am sure you are more than intelligent enough to handle such discussions.
God bless you. - March 31, 2009 at 3:27 PM

This was clearly won by Dr.White because he did make a case,made the proper question that must be answered like "can a simple prophet say all what Jesus said?" Sami said "then your logic is that if a prophet can't do that he is god" well he is something else, so let's say we put that as a lil win for our cause because it proves Jesus is not a simple prophet(so at thos momment Islam doctrine is destroyed),but when we keep making this "lil" wins 1 after another well we can't help thinking that White/Apostles/Jews(hhuh Pharapheses) are right and u have no case.
Yet the very effort to disprove the divinity of Jesus using the Gospels is nonsense for me,even more when Jesus says he is his bogotten son,because even if Sami proves that in some parts he clearly says he is not god(which he didn't) in others jesus leaves very clear he is god, like when Thomas tells him my Lord My God which actually is more powerful because it's the climax of Jesus personal teachings to them., i think the best way a muslim can go throught this is using the argument we hear all time "It's corrupted" i have seen interviews to Zakir Naik and the fastest word that comes to my mind is "populist" because like Sami they use the gospel in the very parts they need leaving out the context but even so they have to misinterpretate them in order to make some case (even if doing this puts in trouble their own religion like Naik using John 14:24 to "prove" Jesus isn't god "ignoring" that the verse they use to claim that muhamamad is predicted in the gospel is being put in real danger when u read 2 verses below 14:26.Then when Sami started to say that the strong argument was that Mary had to know he was God, It was obviously a last minute thing it came to his mind XD.. because how do you expect Mary to fully understand what even the apostles couldn't until the last momment and i think they fully understood it when the spirit came to them and not before.Also i don't think in that time everyone had a holy torah in his house,yet even if they knew about it, they couldn't fully understand what was this Messiah about, they knew he was supposed to be their king, and the others predictions maybe they didn't took them as predictions at that time, i mean they showed their lack of knowledge of the scriptures in many ways, it's easy for us to judge them now because we have the full book and biblical studies, biblical schools etc so it's easy to join the dots, but i think it wasn't so easy for them (that's my opinion and i'm not an scholar so Sami if u read this do not quote me as that "trinitarian" u said or well u actually dind't say his name) I think that Jesus was very right when he said John 3:12"If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" Which also makes a huge difference between him knowing heavenly things by his own and Muhammad when he is asked about the spirit Sura 17:85. - July 7, 2011 at 12:31 AM

Fitness Tutorial Editor |Edit Exercise Video for Free - CapCut
Interested in filming fitness videos but unsure where to start? Check out these easy tips to help you produce top quality health and wellness content.
How to Create Fitness Tutorials on YouTube
New to YouTubing? Don't know where to start? Let CapCut guide you. We'll walk you through how to create fitness tutorials on YouTube. With our fitness tutorial editor, content creation is as easy as a few clicks.
First, choose a fitness topic. Any topic! You'll find a niche for every aspect of health and wellness. Meal prepping, jogging, weightlifting—your viewers need it all.
If you're filming a YouTube Short (a task our video editor loves), remember to keep your content focused. You've only got one minute. Limit yourself to one healthy recipe, one rep, or one fitness tip. Save in-depth workouts and tips for long-form videos.
Record your video with the highest resolution possible. Most phones record in 1080p, but if your device has 4K, USE IT! CapCut can export videos in any resolution. Keep in mind that higher resolution equals higher quality content.
For YouTube Shorts, record vertically. The optimal aspect ratio is 9:16—but don't worry. You can clean up your ratio with a preset canvas. For long-form videos, ensure you record them horizontally.
For best results, use multiple angles. Low angles put the viewer on the ground with you. It's like doing pushups together! A high angle gives the best view of your jumping jacks (this is also great for delivering instructions or demonstrating squats).
Finally, record more clips than you'll need. To make the best CapCut edits, you'll need plenty of footage.
Behold! Our Capcut Editing Tutorial!
You've worked up a sweat—you recorded your content. Congratulations! You've finished the hard part. Relax, enjoy a protein shake, and edit.
Trim the fat. Remove anything unrelated to your video's topic. You want a fitness video as lean as you are.
If you created rhythm with your reps, continue it with CapCut transitions. Use our transitions as motifs—show when a new rep is coming. Returning viewers will learn to anticipate your instructions.
As you're editing, you might catch yourself remembering something along the lines of: whoops, I didn't tell the viewer to keep their back straight! That's okay. It's hard to remember everything while doing a headstand. Tell the CapCut AI whatever you forgot. Type in your script; it'll narrate your tips from there.
Finally, add closed captioning with ease—just tell CapCut you want subtitles, it will take care of the rest! Once generated, position your subtitles in the bottom third of the screen.
A Fitness Video Without Music is Like a Shake Without Protein
Of all the YouTube niches, workout videos need music the most. Your video wouldn't be complete without Eye of the Tiger.
Music keeps spirits high. For new viewers—or those who secretly hate fitness— rocking out to their favorite music helps get them to the end of the workout.
After editing your video, explore CapCut's music library. Remember to pick the right tune for your audience (YouTube audience insights are a great way to get to know your viewers). While you're picking a song, high energy should be the focus. Avoid sappy love songs, and keep the beat bumping. You need music with a rhythm that PUMPS UP your viewers. You'll find the perfect jam in CapCut's music library.
Pro tip: raise the music's volume during reps, lower it while speaking.
Stickers and Text Improve Your Workout Videos
CapCut has stickers for every occasion—especially workout videos. Going full force? Insert animated flames. Delivering commands to the viewer? Try the megaphone sticker!
Stickers also make great transitions. Countdown stickers indicate that a new rep is coming. A heads-up like this offers clarification to the viewer. And clarity is your goal in a fitness video.
Other fun stickers include the alarm clock. Use it to end pauses between reps. Viewers love this sort of flourish.
To further emphasize certain exercises, use text to display the name of each rep.
For example:
Pulsing Bulgarian split squat.
Full-stop lateral rise.
Single-leg eccentric hamstring curl!
Your viewers want to learn from you. They'll repeat your workouts every day. Help teach them the lingo with CapCut text.
With CapCut, you're sure to find the perfect font. For zen yoga videos, try a delightful font like Rosemary. If you're weightlifting to rock music, go hard with Gambol.
Need to make an important point? Plug it into an animated text template. "Lock your shoulders" written in neon lights is impossible to miss.
These tools aid viewers who are following along. Make exercising easier for them with ample text and stickers!
Short on Time? Try a Preset Canvas for Your Fitness Video
Publish your YouTube Shorts faster with a preset Canvas. These canvases—specially made for YouTube shorts—crank out top quality content in seconds.
Choose a theme, CapCut will export an epic video (an epic video in the correct aspect ratio, of course!).
Preset canvases make great long-form videos too! Add backgrounds, adjust the color, produce blurry transitions. Additionally, you can even set the aspect ratio. YouTube Shorts require an aspect ratio of 9:16. Long-form videos can be in any ratio, but they do perform best in 16:9.
Please note: horizontal videos CANNOT be posted as YouTube Shorts. They must be adjusted to the 9:16 aspect ratio with an video editor. No matter which angle you record in, CapCut can resize your video.
Best of all—CapCut is a free video editor! Find your music, transitions, and text all in one place! Our stickers dream of starring in your video.
Upload without fear of copyright strikes or claims. Using our assets keeps you safe from demonetization.

Welcome to Street Seats!
As silly as it sounds, the opportunity to sit down is one of the great joys, if not necessities of urban living. Yet cities the world over fail to provide enough places for people to rest, socialize, or simply watch the world go by. We think this needs to change, so we've created StreetSeats.org, an open source project (please contribute!) documenting the wide variety of creative and informal seats, benches, and urban perches gifted by New York City's small businesses, advocacy organizations, and everyday neighborhood caretakers.
While this project is specific to New York City, more street seats are needed everywhere. We hope this project serves as an inspiration for anyone interested in enriching the quality of their neighborhood's public realm.
This is a new project so please bear with us as we improve and continuously add to the site…trust us, there are many, many more seats to add! In the meantime, take a look around your New York City neighborhood and add your own images. Or, more importantly, go build your own street seat today!

Dawn of a New Axle Era
A little over forty years ago, the
1973: New suspension designs are gaining ground. Suddenly the future for rear-engine cars looks uncertain.
In Zuffenhausen and at the recently opened development center in Weissach, work is already well under way on a successor—the 928. It's the first
Focus on driving safety
The Weissach axle—which stands for Winkel einstellende, selbst stabilisierende Ausgleichs-Charakteristik (angle-adjusting, self-stabilizing equalization characteristic)—allows
The first prototypes of the 928 also suffer from unstable self-steering tendencies. This is because lateral forces in curves cause the outer rear wheel to switch to a positive track, as if a person's foot were turned out. What's almost even worse is that releasing the accelerator during a curve causes a frontward shift in the car's center of gravity, which lowers the load on the rear. Not only that—the effect of the engine drag torque on the wheels causes them to turn slightly outward. In right-hand curves, for example, the greater load on the left rear wheel will cause it to turn to the left, meaning that the wheels turn somewhat toward a "toe-out" position. The car oversteers when releasing the accelerator in curves.
Backseat driving
A meticulous development process is launched under the direction of
Their painstaking adjustments pay off. "The Weissach axle suddenly gave the 928 much more stable self-steering properties because the car no longer oversteered," recalls Frank Lovis, who was a test driver for
Harrer, too, finds it difficult to overstate the importance of the Weissach axle. "This pioneering work laid the foundation for modern axle kinematics, which have been continuously refined by
"We have a much more advanced understanding of material properties these days," remarks Harrer. Rubber bearings are now elastomers: high-tech components with sophisticated chemical engineering and precision properties that have long since acquired progressive paths and whose enhanced damping qualities provide much greater suspension and acoustic qualities—throughout the car's entire service life.
2018: Development work continues, in part because the benefits of the Weissach axle are constantly being adapted to new vehicle concepts and more compact installation spaces. These include SUVs like the
Despite all the electronic and active suspension control systems, there's one thing Harrer doesn't want to change. "Our cars will always have systems that balance out the axles. But thanks to modern simulation technologies, we no longer have to try out twenty different stabilizers, but maybe only three."

=Kono kuruma navi tsuite naino?
= This car doesn't have a navigation system?
= Menkyo motte nai kuseni!
= You don't even have a driver's license. (So you have no right to complain.)
Hi everybody,
I will teach you how to use くせに ( = 癖に = kuseni) today.
準備はいい?(= Junbi wa ii?) Ready? !JYANE!
くせに means "although" / "despite" / " even though" / "even if".
We use くせに when we accuse / tease/ criticize someone.
It shows speaker's contempt, dissatisfaction.
It is similar to のに ( = noni)
!to right! In case you haven't seen my のに ( = noni) lesson, please go check it later.
Compare to のに(=noni), くせに(=kuseni) is more negative, stronger and judgmental.
Though it is not a bad word and you hear it often in conversation, you should be careful who you use it with and when to use it.
For example, if you say,
:s: 犬なのに日本語を教えるの?
= Inu nanoni nihongo wo oshieruno?
= Do you teach Japanese despite being just a dog?
I know I get a bit hurt but It is acceptable. However, if you say
:ii: 犬のくせに日本語を教えるの?
= Inu no kuse ni nihongo wo oshieru no?
= Do you teach Japanese despite being a dog?
(You are just a dog and you are telling me that you teach Japanese?)
It sounds very condescending and looking down on me. If you say that, I might bite you!
Grrrrr :-x
You can also use くせして= 癖して( = kuseshite) instead of くせに = 癖に ( = kuseni). But today I will just focus on くせに ( = kuseni)
How to form :
noun + の( = no) +くせに( = kuseni)
*男のくせに = otoko no kuseni = even though you are a man, for a man, as a man, despite being a man,
Ex. 彼は男のくせに甘いものが好きだ。
= Kare wa otoko no kuse ni amaimono ga sukida.
= For a man, he likes sweets.
Note : This sentence implies "Men shouldn't/don't eat sweets because sweets are for women."
Ex. あの子は、子供のくせに大人びた話し方をする。
= Anoko wa kodomo no kuse ni otonabita hanashikata wo suru.
= He(she) talks like an adult although he(she) is a mere child.
Ex. マギー先生は、日本語の先生のくせに「薔薇」という漢字を書けないんですか?
= Maggie sensei wa nihongo no sensei no kuseni "bara" to iu kanji wo kakenain desu ka?
= Though you are a Japanese teacher, you can't write the kanji "薔薇 = bara = rose(s)", Maggie Sensei?
!to right! No I can't! And so what?? :maggie-small:
= Okanemochi no kuse ni kechikechi shinaide!
= Don't be stingy. I know you are rich!
= Ookii kaisha no kuse ni setubi ga totonotte inai.
= It is a big company but it is poorly equipped.
Ex. 彼は、医者のくせに煙草を吸っている。
= Kare wa isha no kuse ni tabako wo sutte iru.
= He is a doctor but he smokes.
Negative form :
Ex. 医者でもないくせに。
= Isha demo nai kuseni.
= (You aren 't even a doctor (so don't talk/act like a doctor, you have no right to do~))
= As if you were a doctor!
Note : We usually use this form when we refer to people (or animals), groups or entities.
We don't say
X Ex. 12月のくせに暖かい。
= Juunigatsu no kuseni atatakai.
Instead, we use(な)のに ( = (na)noni)
Ex. 12月なのに暖かい。
= Juunigatsu nanoni atatakai.
= It is warm for December.
i-adj form + くせに ( = kuseni)
*大きいくせに= ookii kuseni = even though someone is big, despite the fact something is big
Ex. 彼は体が大きいくせに何もできない。
= Kare wa karada ga ookii kuse ni nani mo dekinai.
= Despite the fact he is big, he can't do anything.
na-adj な ( = na) form + くせに ( = kuseni)
*下手なくせに = hetana kuseni = Even though someone is bad at something
Ex. 彼は、歌が下手なくせに歌手になりたい。
= Kare wa utaga hetana kuse ni kashu ni naritai.
= Despite being bad at singing, he wants to be a singer.
verb basic form + くせに ( = kuseni)
*知っているくせに = shitteiru kuseni = even though someone knows, even if someone knows, although someone knows
Ex. 彼は、私の気持を知っているくせに無視をする。
= Kare wa watasih no kimochi wo shitte iru kuse ni mushi wo suru.
= Although he knows how I really feel about him, he ignores me.
= Kare mada nihongo de hyaku made kazoerarenain datte.
= You know I heard he still can't count up to one hundred in Japanese.
= Jibun datte ichinen mae wa juumade mo kazoerarenakatta kuseni.
= You couldn't even count up to ten a year ago either!
= Oyatsu bakkari taberu to futoruyo.
= If you keep eating sweets, you will get fat.
= Jibun datte itsumo tabeteru kuseni!
= You always eats sweets, too. (Look who's talking!)
As I said, it often involves negative feelings, but we also use it when we tease someone.
= Mou anna hito daikirai!
= I hate that guy!
= Mada sukina kuseni.
= (You're just saying that.) I know you still like him.
= Kanojo wa suguni yakimochi wo yakunda.
= She gets jealous so easily.
= Ureshii kuseni!
= I know you are happy about it.
Ex. 朝、たくさん食べたくせにもうお腹がすいたの?
= Asa takusan tabeta kuse ni mou onaka ga suita no?
= Even though you ate a lot this morning, are you already hungry?
Note : You don't usually useくせに ( = kuseni) when you are talking about yourself.
Ex. 朝、たくさん食べたくせにもうお腹がすいた。(not natural)
= Asa takusan tabeta kuse ni mou onaga suita.
= Although I ate a lot this morning, I am already hungry.
Instead, we use のに ( = noni)
= Asa takusan tabeta noni mou onaka ga suita.
マギー先生より = Maggie Sensei yori = From Maggie Sensei
= Ima kara "bara" toiu kanji wo kaku rennshu wo shitekimasu. Jaane!
= I go practice writing the kanji "薔薇 = ばら = bara= rose(s)" now. See you!

Contaminated water scare hits Newburgh, New York
In a chronically struggling city along the Hudson River, residents of Newburgh, New York, are beset by poverty and high crime. Now, in the upstate town of boarded-up homes, they have an entirely new worry: their tap water may have exposed them to a chemical linked to cancer.
State officials recently launched an ambitious effort to offer blood tests to Newburgh's 28,000 residents after the chemical PFOS — used for years in firefighting foam at the nearby military air base — was found in the city's drinking water reservoir at levels exceeding federal guidelines.
"The fact that I've been drinking that water for years, and my daughter's been drinking and bathing in it, that's shocking to me," says Stuart Sachs, an artist who moved here from Brooklyn 14 years ago. "My daughter is 11. What diseases is she going to have to look forward to? It's scary."
PFOS, or perfluorooctane sulfonate, has been linked to cancer, thyroid problems and other serious health issues. Results of the blood testing, expected to be released early next year, won't tell people whether they're actually at increased risk for any specific health problem, but will show how their exposure compares to others.
Similar testing has been done in several smaller communities with water contaminated with PFOS or its close chemical cousin, PFOA, which is used in nonstick and stain-repellent coatings.
About 1,500 people were tested near an air base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and found to have slightly elevated levels of the chemicals. In the rural villages of Hoosick Falls and Petersburgh, New York, where plastics plants are being held liable for PFOA in public and private wells, tests of about 3,000 residents that began in February have found PFOA blood levels as high as 500 times the national average.
For Newburgh, about an hour's drive north of New York City, a potential health crisis was the last thing it needed. The city, which served as George Washington's Revolutionary War headquarters, was humming with machine shops, clothing factories, shipyards and brickyards in the early 20th century.
But in the 1960s, a slow decline began after a new bridge over the Hudson River diverted traffic away from the city's commercial center. Factories started shutting down or moving to the new highway corridor outside the city. Now the city is notorious for derelict abandoned buildings, drug gangs and violent crime.
In 2014, PFOS was detected in 175-acre Lake Washington, the city's drinking water supply, at a level 170 parts per trillion (ppt), well below the 400 ppt limit then recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When the EPA set a new level of 70 ppt for short-term exposure in May 2016, the city declared an emergency and shifted to a new water source.
New York's Department of Environmental Conservation has identified nearby Stewart Air National Guard Base as the source of the PFOS, suspecting the chemical, used for years in firefighting emergencies and drills, ended up in a stream leading to the city reservoir.
Free blood tests are being offered through November 19th to any resident who makes an appointment at one of seven clinics. But getting people tested in Newburgh presents special challenges. More than a third of residents live in poverty and more than 46 percent of households speak a language other than English at home.
"Newburgh is a very poor city, and special recognition has to be given to the fact that people who are really struggling, really at the edge, are going to need extra help getting out, learning about it," says Sachs, whose sculpture studio is in one of Newburgh's most run-down and crime-ridden neighborhoods. "On my street, people have vaguely heard there was an issue with the water."
Newburgh resident Dorice Barnwell, who works as a medical case manager, says she knocked on doors in her own four-story apartment building and found nobody had heard about the blood-testing program, despite several public meetings and media reports. She says information should be sent home with schoolchildren and posted at street corners, on buses and in shopping centers.
"We need to get this information out at all levels to everyone," she says. "I personally sent out a mass phone text to everyone in my address book encouraging them to call the number to schedule an appointment."
Dr. Nathan Graber, director of the state health agency's Center for Environmental Health, says his department is translating materials into Spanish and Creole and engaging with the city's religious leaders, school superintendent and community groups to improve outreach.
Even though officials have stressed blood tests won't diagnose specific illnesses, some residents hope they will shed some light on nagging health worries.
Tamie Hollins says her 18-year-old son's sudden death in 2010 was attributed to natural causes, but now she wonders if PFOS had anything to do with it.
"I'm always thinking about this, trying to find answers about what happened to my baby," she says. "We were always very health-conscious and drank lots and lots of water, because water is life, right? Now I wonder about that."

You Read It Here First
I decided recently that I wasn't going to try to be the first to report breaking news in this Blog. While it's very exciting to be the first but I'm not sure Blogs were ever meant to the source of breaking news. As a new comer to the Blogsphere it's taken me 6 months to realize Blogs are great for commentary and entertainment but should not always be the best source of new bulletins. Subscribing to a news alert service is a far better choice if you want to be the first to know. Blogs should contain well researched and well thought out information.
I guess I'm heading in the right direction. One of the best known Bloggers, Robert Scoble recently admitted he was human and made mistakes in recent log postings. Scobleizer kinda lost it after all the Blogs,(including this one), linked to a story about Microsoft re-writing most of its WindowsXP. While Microsoft may not be re-writing 60% of its code things aren't rosy in Redmond and Scoble won't be able to fix things by himself.
Another good example is the author of "Ramblings of a Computer Guru". The Guru reported on the new Anti-Phishing initiative by Sunbelt Software and ComputerCops.com called PIRT. He questioned PIRT's motives, legality and methodology. After actually finding out what PIRT's methods were he took back his previous post and now says PIRT is Wonderful!.
Anyone who knows the folks behind PIRT knows there's an excellent chance this effort will make a difference. Paul Laudanski put it best when he commented…
"Unlike other companies that are paid to take down phish for clients, we do it for free for everyone because we're all one big family on the Net. I don't want to see my mom fall prey to phish just like the next guy, so we're all professionals working with teams around the world with the same cause: terminating phish. Why? Its our passion, to do the right thing."

Color Compound in Some Fruits and Vegetables Could Lower Lung Cancer Risk in Smokers
A pigment in oranges, sweet red peppers, and other fruits and vegetables may lower the risk of lung cancer in smokers, according to a new study.
Nicotine is the primary addictive component of tobacco and some e-cigarette liquids. Medical scientists believe nicotine contributes to cancer promotion and progression by activating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The study results suggest that the color compound, known as beta-cryptoxanthin (BCX), reduces the number of these receptors. This means eating fruits and vegetables high in BCX might reduce the risk of lung cancer resulting from smoking.
Doctors diagnose about 222,500 new cases of lung cancer in the United States each year, according to the American Cancer Society, and more than 155,000 Americans will die from the disease each year. The American Lung Association notes that male smokers are 23 times more likely to develop lung cancer than are men who do not smoke, and female smokers are at 13 times greater risk of developing lung cancer than are non-smoking women.
Causing approximately 7,330 deaths among nonsmokers each year, exposure to secondhand smoke is also a risk factor for lung cancer.
Nicotine and the Growth of Lung Tumors
Tobacco smoke contains more than 7,000 compounds and many of these substances, upon inhalation, act as carcinogens to damage the cells lining the lungs. While nicotine does not cause lung cancer directly, the addictive compound can promote lung tumor growth.
Study co-author Xiang-Dong Wang, of the Jean Mayer United States Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, MA, and colleagues provide more insight into how nicotine promotes lung cancer.
When inhaled, nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor α7 (α7-nAChR), which is a nicotine receptor lying on the surface of the lungs. The binding action prompts a signaling cascade that results in the proliferation of cells and the formation of new blood vessels. Cell proliferation and blood vessel formation are processes involved in the growth of cancer.
Nicotine also increases the production of nicotinic receptors, actually creating more α7-nAChR on which to bind. Providing more nicotinic receptors strengthens the signaling cascade, further encouraging the growth of lung cancer cells. In other words, the more a person smokes or suffers secondhand exposure to smoke, the more receptors he or she develops, the stronger the process encouraging the growth cancer.
Wang and colleagues think that consuming BCX could effectively reduce the number of α7-nAChR receptors on the lungs, thereby decreasing the potential growth of lung cancer cells.
BCX reduced lung tumor growth in laboratory mice
BCX is a carotenoid that gives yellow, orange and red fruits and vegetables their color. Oranges, tangerines, butternut squash, and sweet red peppers contain beta-cryptoxanthin.
In an earlier study, Wang and a team of researchers observed an association between eating foods rich in BCX and a lower risk of lung cancer in humans. In this study, the team focused on pinpointing the mechanisms underlying the link between a BCX-rich diet and lowered risk of lung cancer in smokers.
The scientists administered a daily injection of a carcinogen derived from nicotine to two groups of mice. The test group of mice also received a daily dose of BCX before and after the nicotine injection. The researchers found that, compared with the mice that did not receive the carotenoid, the test group experienced a 52-63 percent reduction in lung tumor growth.
The researchers determined 870 micrograms, which is the equivalent to one sweet pepper or two tangerines per day for humans, as the most effective daily dose of BCX for reducing lung tumor growth.
The team then tests BCX on human lung cancer cells, both with and without α7-nAChR. They discovered that lung cancer cells with α7-nAChR receptors were less likely to spread after exposure to the color compound, as compared with lung cancer cells without those receptors.
Further research could provide a better understanding of how consuming foods rich in beta-cryptoxanthin might affect the development of lung cancer in humans.

Prof. Raja R. Huilgol awarded ASR Medallion
The ASR Council has unanimously endorsed the recommendation of the ASR Medallion sub-committee to award the Australian Society of Rheology Medallion to Prof. Raja R. Huilgol in recognition of his outstanding and meritorious contributions to the science and technology of rheology.
Prof Huilgol's achievements include the authorship of three highly commended books on the continuum mechanics of viscoelastic and viscoplastic materials and a significant body of journal articles on a broad range of subjects related to rheology, including major contributions to the understanding of the kinematics of viscoelastic flows. He has also made significant contributions to the understanding of flows occurring in injection molding processes with benefits to Australian industry through his collaboration with Moldflow, and the reduction of grain losses due to pulverisation in silos leading to the award of the highest honour of the Mexican Society of Rheology in 2001.
Prof Huilgol's nomination was supported in testimonials by world-leading rheologists Prof Ken Walters, Prof Roger Tanner, Prof Nhan Phan-Thien, Prof I Frigaard, Prof Tam Sridhar and Prof David Boger, which commended his contributions, from which we quote:
"He is basically a mathematician, but he certainly 'speaks the language' of his experimental colleagues! His research is therefore appreciated by a wide range of scientists."
"In view of his devotion to Rheology, his intelligence and his continued contribution to the field, I strongly support the award of the ASR Medallion to him."
"Raj is an original and creative thinker … he has my highest regard in the recommendation of an ASR Medallion."
"His body of outstanding work has significantly advanced our understanding of theoretical Rheology."
"Raj is a leading Rheologist in the Australian scene and has a huge international reputation due to his continuing contribution."
"Raj is an international scholar highly regarded in the Rheological community. This award is a "slam dunk"."
Congratulations to Prof Huilgol.

Budget cuts cancel Pearl Harbor fireworks, Bayfest
Federal budget cuts are forcing Pearl Harbor to cancel its July 4 fireworks and the Marine Corps to cancel its annual Bayfest event at Kaneohe Bay.
A Navy Region Hawaii spokesman said Monday that annual fireworks at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam have been canceled as the base scales back its Independence Day celebration at Hickam Harbor. The event will now be a daytime celebration ending at 5 p.m., featuring the Pacific Fleet Band and the Air Force Band of the Pacific, plus other activities.
Marine Corps Base Hawaii said earlier Monday its summer festival is being canceled this year because of automatic federal budget cuts and other fiscal constraints.
The Marines have been holding the festival for more than 20 years. The 2 1⁄2-day event draws 25,000 people to Kaneohe Bay for musical performances, carnival rides, fireworks and military static displays.
The Marines say the festival requires significant resources from many base departments and from Marine Corps Community Services. The Marines say all these sections are affected by potential furloughs and fiscal limits.
Military services and federal agencies are feeling the effects of $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts that took effect in March.

If there are no restrictions in the ticket type you purchased, you can change your ticket even after you have checked in, but you have to undo the check-in before changing your ticket. This can be done via online check-in > Cancel the check-in.

For us, there is no software without innovation. Our code tries to provide you with up-to-date solutions. We believe in Open Source because Open Source lets you control what we do for you. We rely on Standards because you need interoperability and maintainability, because you care about accessibility and openess. We have a lot of chutzpah (audacity) and we are proud of it.
This plus that gives you the quality you need.
