Coal burning stopped global warming, according to an article in PNAS 5 July 2011, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1102467108, also reported by Reuters 5 July. Researchers from Boston and Harvard Universities, USA and University of Turku, Finland have sought to explain why the earth did not warm over the decade from 1998 to 2008, in spite of rising carbon dioxide levels. They begin their abstract with this admission: "Given the widely noted increase in the warming effects of rising greenhouse gas concentrations, it has been unclear why global surface temperatures did not rise between 1998 and 2008." The researchers noted during this time there was a decrease in solar radiation and cyclical shift from an El Niño pattern to a La Niña climate pattern, but they concluded that the cooling effect came mainly from an increase in coal burning, mainly in China, which produced more sulphurous emissions. They also suggest "The post 1970 period of warming, which constitutes a significant portion of the increase in global surface temperature since the mid-20th century, is driven by efforts to reduce air pollution in general and acid deposition in particular, which cause sulphur emissions to decline while the concentration of greenhouse gases continues to rise."
Editorial Comment: The decade in question was replete with dire warnings of catastrophic global warming due to increasing man-made carbon dioxide, but as these researchers admit in a mainstream, peer reviewed scientific journal, there was no warming between 1998 and 2008. There has been no more warming since then either. If these researchers' conclusions are correct, what a dilemma for the environmentalists! They loudly proclaim we must do whatever it takes to stop global warming, but they can hardly promote increasing chemical pollution.
The solution to the problem is stop thinking that human activity warms and cools the earth, and therefore we can control the climate. As the researchers admit, solar radiation decreased and ocean currents changed during the decade of their study, but we cannot control these. Climate researchers, environmentalists and politicians need to humble themselves and admit the earth's climate is under the control of the Creator God who does control the sun and the oceans. They can then put their efforts into doing the things we can control, such as cleaning up chemical pollution, planting trees, and other things that are good stewardship of the earth.

Disney Takes Over Hulu, Giving It a Second Streaming Service
Disney hasn't even launched its streaming service, Disney+, yet, but it already has a second streaming site. And this one's up and running right now.
That's because the company announced today via press release it had assumed "full operational control of Hulu, effective immediately" from Comcast. There's a complex deal between Disney and Comcast involved, but essentially by January 2024, Comcast and Disney will finish a transaction where by the latter will own the former's interest in the popular streaming site, where viewers watch recently aired episodes of TV, along with a back catalogue of films and shows, plus originals like the critically acclaimed A Handmaid's Tale. But the key part is that Disney fully controls the site right now.
What that means for Hulu's library, which has quietly become one of the better ones on the internet — with a stronger mix of recent films and catalogue titles than the more popular Netflix — remains to be seen. But if I were you, and there were things on there I wanted to watch that weren't produced by Fox or Disney, I'd do it sooner rather than later.
As to the question of why Disney would want more control of Hulu when they already have Disney+ coming this fall, it's simple: With the purchase of Fox and its many shows and films, they now control content that wouldn't fit on Disney+ because it's too graphic or too adult or just too weird. The stuff that isn't appropriate for Disney+ can live on Hulu. And you can sell consumers who want more options two services instead of one. It also means control of a bigger slice of the streaming market — and, presumably, of the future of film and television consumption.

17 Jun (Warning Signs) - While the nation tries to come to grips with the cascade of scandals involving the Obama administration, a significant phenomenon has been occurring. It is the demise of the global warming/climate change hoax that has driven national and international policies since the 1980s.
Directed from within the bowels of the most corrupt international organization on planet Earth, the United Nations, the hoax originally generated the Kyoto Protocols in December 1997 to set limits on the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The UN's climate charlatans claimed that CO2 was causing the Earth to dramatically warm. It was a lie. The U.S. Senate unanimously refused to ratify it and, in 2011, Canada withdrew from it.
As reported by Craig Rucker, Executive Director of CFACT, fast-forward to the recent UN climate talks in Bonn, Germany, and news that Russia, joined by Ukraine and Belarus, blocked the adoption of the agenda of the "Subsidiary Body for Implementation", part of the standard fast-tracking toward a 2015 Climate Treaty scheduled to be adopted and signed in Paris. Part of the treaty is a scheme to redistribute the wealth of developed nations to those less developed.
The Russians were fed up with the usual behind-closed-doors proceedings that create such treaties, but no doubt they were well aware that the treaty would empower the UN to govern a large portion of economic activity around the world. All UN treaties require nations to surrender some aspect of their national sovereignty.
There is clearly a backlash against the global warming hoax, particularly from nations that have discovered the costs to their economies that idiotic "renewable" energy schemes and emissions reductions incur. In the real world, they are experiencing longer, harsher winters as the result of the cooling cycle the Earth has been in for the last seventeen years!
Despite President Obama's incessant claims that the Earth is heating, scientists in both Russia and China have been publishing data from scientific studies disputing the Big Lie of global warming/climate change.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences—50,000 members strong—recently published "Climate Change Reconsidered and Climate Change Reconsidered: 2011 Interim Report", two hefty volumes with more than 1,200 pages of peer-reviewed data on climate change published by The Heartland Institute in 2009 and 2011.
In May, Marc Morano, publisher of ClimateDepot.com and a former member of the staff of the U.S. Senate Environmental & Public Works Committee submitted written testimony to the committee.
"The scientific reality is that on virtually every claim—from A-Z—the claims of the promoters of man-made climate fears are failing," wrote Morano, "and in many instances the claims are moving in the opposite direction. The global warming movement is suffering the scientific death of a thousand cuts."
"There is no evidence," wrote Morano, "we are currently having any unusual weather." Weather events such as the Moore, Oklahoma tornado and the sub-tropical storm Sandy that hit the northeast are normal occurrences despite the damage they inflicted.
In The Wall Street Journal in May, Princeton University physicist Dr. William Happer and NASA moonwalker and geologist, Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt wrote that "Thanks to the single-minded demonization of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control of energy production, the conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. That's simply not the case."
Literally thousands of scientists around the world have disputed the IPCC "science" and many former "warmists" have reversed their former beliefs. Dr. Lennart Bengtsson, a top Swedish climate scientist, formerly affiliated with the IPCC, said in February "We are creating great anxiety without it being justified…there are no indications that the warming is so severe that we need to panic…
"The warming we have had the last 100 years is so small that, if we didn't have meteorologists and climatologists to measure it, we wouldn't have noticed it at all."
The threat facing Americans is posed by the Environmental Protection Agency that clings to the Big Lie about CO2 and uses it as the basis for a flood of regulations that are doing great harm to economic recovery and development.
The same holds true for the Departments of Energy and the Interior that deny access to the nation's huge reserves of energy resources and, in the case of coal, act to destroy its mining industry and plants using it for the generation of electricity.
The global warming/climate change hoax continues to be widely taught in the nation's schools and that should end. Now.
It continues to be reported as truth by the mainstream media and as fodder for Hollywood movies and for television programs such as those on the National Geographic Channel.
Despite the lies surrounding global warming/climate change, the hoax is in its final death throes and has been for many years. That's the good news.

Understanding Roulette Odds: A Comparison Between European and American Versions
Roulette, a game of chance found in casinos worldwide, is often synonymous with glamour and excitement. Understanding the odds in roulette is crucial for players looking to maximize their potential winnings. This article delves into the intricacies of roulette odds, comparing European and American roulette, and examining how these odds impact potential winnings over time. Additionally, we explore the possible outcomes for a $10 bet, focusing on bets with the highest payout.
European vs. American Roulette: The Odds
The primary difference between European and American roulette lies in the wheel layout. European roulette has 37 pockets: numbers 1-36 and a single zero. American roulette, on the other hand, includes an additional double zero, making 38 pockets in total. This seemingly small difference significantly impacts the odds and house edge.
House Edge:
– European Roulette: The presence of a single zero gives the house an edge of 2.7%.
– American Roulette: The additional double zero increases the house edge to 5.26%.
Winning Odds:
On a straight bet (betting on a single number), the odds of winning are 1 in 37 on a European wheel and 1 in 38 on an American wheel.
Impact of Odds Over Time
When playing roulette, the house edge is a critical factor, particularly over an extended period. The longer you play, the more likely your results will align with the house edge. For example, in European roulette, for every $100 bet over a long period, a player can expect to lose about $2.70 on average, compared to $5.26 in American roulette.
Maximizing Winnings with a $10 Bet
With a $10 bet, the approach to maximize potential winnings varies based on risk appetite. Here are some high-payout options:
- Straight Bet (Single Number):
- Payout: 35 to 1.
- Odds: 2.7% (European), 2.6% (American).
- Potential Winnings: $350.
- Risk: High – the least likely to win but offers the highest payout.
- Split Bet (Two Numbers):
- Payout: 17 to 1.
- Odds: 5.4% (European), 5.3% (American).
- Potential Winnings: $170.
- Risk: High – more likely to win than a straight bet, but still challenging.
- Corner Bet (Four Numbers):
- Payout: 8 to 1.
- Odds: 10.8% (European), 10.5% (American).
- Potential Winnings: $80.
- Risk: Moderate – balances between reasonable payout and likelihood of winning.
In roulette, understanding the odds is crucial for informed betting. European roulette offers better odds due to its single zero, making it a more favorable option for players. While high-payout bets like straight bets offer the chance for significant winnings from a $10 bet, they come with higher risks. Players should balance their desire for big payouts with the likelihood of winning and the impact of the house edge over time. Remember, roulette is a game of chance, and responsible gambling practices should always be followed.

On May 19, the capital of the Czech Republic will host Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Prague – the event dedicated to the development of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Guests will meet supporters of a decentralized economy, successful blockchain developers and entrepreneurs and enjoy the exhibition of equipment for the industry.
Prague is one of the most important bitcoin centers in Europe. The city has around a hundred places which receive bitcoins (including only bitcoins without fiat currencies). Employees in such places often receive salary in cryptocurrencies and that's why they are interested in attracting more clients.
A bitcoin owner can have a lunch, stay in a hotel and pay for educational and domestic services in Prague. A number of shops will accept a bitcoin card alongside with a traditional currency.
Implementation of contactless chips which can also be used for bitcoin transactions is quite popular among citizens of the Czech Republic.
These and other issues will be discussed at the conference.
Topics include the development of cryptocurrencies, blockchain in Govtech, blockchain services in Fintech as well as legal issues. Participants will study existing projects – from the idea to the moment of entering the market and monetization.
The organizer is Smile-Expo Company famous for its successful blockchain conferences in Tallinn, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kyiv.
You can register and find details on the Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Prague website.

Book Details
About the Book
This book traces the development of learning theory in Psychology. Each major theory of the past century is analyzed in detail, and in terms of its evolution from those that preceded it. Theory-building is cumulative, each new idea standing on the shoulders of earlier ones, according to the logical progression of thesis to antithesis to synthesis. On what we learned from the subject of this book, learning, we learned from what was learned before. A classical example of theory developing by trial and error, fits and starts, blind alleys and flashes of insight is the discovery of the DNA molecule. At least three laboratories, in England and America, were closing-in on the answer at the same time, competing with each-other as they reached the finish-line. Each following its governing theory--for instance, Linus Pauling's gamble on a triple helix--the lads from Cambridge won the race, and the rest, as they say, is History. None of the drama of that campaign to find the truth of a natural phenomenon is to be found here, with one exception: the gradual process of one theory morphing into another, on the strength of a new idea, has finally yielded a workable synthesis of how we learn. This result is presented here in precise, simple terms that leave jargon behind.

Businesses and start-ups have to deal with a new threat: hackers. You've likely heard about hackers and cybercriminals hacking into websites and releasing sensitive information to the general public.
To keep your website information safe, you should consider how secure your web hosting is. As you get more visitors to your site, you'll likely choose a more expensive plan to provide you with the resources you need to handle the higher levels of traffic. As your website grows, there might be more opportunities for hackers to crack into your site.
When choosing your secure web hosting provider, you must do careful research. Some providers use outdated servers and have poor maintenance while others don't. It is often complicated to determine just which web hosts have the services you need.
Why You Need Secure Hosting
Unfortunately, not every website hosting provider or web designer will act with your best interests at heart. These days, there are plenty of unethical systems and companies eager to use your email for spamming and your website for their ads. Having a safe hosting provider is vital to keeping your data safe from fraud, and to have your server up and running all day, every day. Here are six features you should consider
Six Key Features of Secure Hosting Plans
Without knowing what to look for, it can be difficult to identify which hosting companies have highly secure servers (Check which are the top hosting companies here). Keep these features in mind to ensure that you are finding the best secure hosting provider.
RAID is a special system for protecting data. Even if the system crashes, RAIS keeps your files space from spammers or viruses. If you see that a web host has servers with RAID pre-installed, that is a good sign. However, this feature is rather expensive, so most shared plans won't have it included. Some web hosts offer RAID for an extra fee—find out as many details as you can before making a purchase.
Secure Datacenter
Natural disasters can strike at any time. Hurricanes, power shortages, and earthquakes could destroy the integrity and safety if you haven't chosen a secure website provider. Some of the best hosting providers will offer you their secure facilities, diesel power generators, and other protection measures. Also, pay attention to the location of your web host's datacenters — give preference to the areas that are not exposed to natural disasters.
Uptime is the time your website stays online, and your clients can access it without any problems. Most web hosts will claim to provide 100% uptime, and in most cases, that isn't true. The only type of hosting plan that can give you an uptime guarantee of 100% is cloud hosting, About eight years ago, cloud hosting had a bad reputation for not being as secure as other types of website hosting. However, this isn't true. Cloud hosting is just as secure as others, and can deliver a great uptime guarantee as well.
However, if you don't need or want cloud hosting, it's okay to have a secure web hosting provider with an uptime guarantee of at least 99.9% or higher. The closer it is to 100%, the less downtime you'll have. However, the brief shortages are not always bad, especially if you have a start-up without many website visitors off the bat. If this is the case, searching secure web hosts that promise reimbursement for the downtime is your best bet.
Many companies include the possibility to make a backup of your data for emergency cases. The most common options are daily, weekly, and monthly backups. Of course, daily backups are the best. That will let you restore the latest version of your website in case your server goes down.
Also, some web hosts offer manual backup, which is even better — you can make it every time you have something updated on the websites. Finally, many service providers have backup limits (e.g., max 10Gb), so it's important to read all backup conditions well before purchasing a hosting plan.
Before committing to a secure hosting provider, here are some things you should consider:
- Are the backups automated?
- How many backups are kept?
- How intuitive is the backup process?
- Where is the data backed up to?
- Are there any costs involved with the backups?
Of course, if you are using WordPress, you can even opt for a free or paid WordPress plugin that will automatically backup your website. If anything goes wrong and your site is hacked, you can reboot your website to the point where there were no problems.
Manual Reboot
Manual reboot is a service included in VPS and dedicated hosting packages. It lets you use a control panel for restarting your dedicated or virtual server. That is great for when making important updates. Also, a manual reboot is very good if you notice some problems on your server. You can first try rebooting your rack; if the problem remains, you can always contact your web host's customer support. The best types of secured hosting plans will have 24/7 customer service, so you can get your issues resolved as quickly as possible.
Top-Level Domain Names
The website domain name you pick is vital to the safest of your website. Top-level domains like .com or .org are the most popular, but other TLDs are becoming more popular. You might think using a newer TLD in order to get a better domain name. However, new TLDs like .men, .click., or .work are some of the most riskiest TLDs on the internet. If you are going to go with a TLD that isn't one of the more traditional versions, then research beforehand to ensure that the domain name you choose is safe.
More Security Tips
In the end, we'd like to give another couple of tips that will keep your website safer. First of all, read the reviews of every web host who has the features you need. Forums are also great for getting some operative feedback about this or that when it comes to a web host company and their security.
You can also pay attention to the Clients per Server numbers. Though most hosting companies don't meet those limits, the less they promise, the fewer clients/server they'll have, and the better it is for your website.
Just remember — security is very important. Especially if you deal with sensitive information of your clients, you need to ensure that you are keeping your site as safe as possible. Don't neglect it when choosing a secure web host company, and your web project will stay healthy and efficient.

Rich Engler: A Life From Drummer To Concert Promoter
It was a life-changing experience, as first concerts are for so many people, made memorable by the fact that because of the threat of storms, the Doobies went on first, making the opening acts, Rush and Heart, the headliners.
Years later, backstage at one of his own concerts, the Jersey rocker would approach promoter Rich Engler and tell him that the first concert he ever went to was one of his shows. Likely, he had saved a ticket that said DiCesare-Engler Productions.
If you live in Western Pennsylvania and you're over 30, there's a good chance you have a scrapbook or drawer full of stubs with the fancy DiCesare-Engler logo.
In the days before Live Nation and the corporatization of the music business, D-E was the dominant concert promoter in this region, doing everything from basement shows at the Stanley to major stadium festivals.
Having presented somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 concerts, Engler has a few good stories to tell and if you've ever met him – he's a great talker – you've probably heard one or two. He can't even count how many times someone's told him, "You need to write a book."
Now, they don't have to, because that's what he's done with "Behind the Stage Door," 156 pages of stories and photos from his exciting career.
It might sound like a cliche, but part of what made Engler such a great concert promoter is that he himself was the ultimate fan. He grew up in Creighton, East Deer, in a rowhouse in a family struggling to make ends meet. His life changed in 1963 when he got a drum kit and joined the high school band The Royals, which evolved into his Carnegie Tech band the Grains of Sand, one that managed to get gigs opening for the Beach Boys and the Yardbirds.
Bands would look to the charismatic Grains drummer to help set up shows, and after organizing a free, daylong event at Flagstaff Hill in 1969, he decided to try his hand at promotion and opened an office, with a friend, in Shadyside as Go Attractions. He would book such acts as David Bowie and King Crimson and slot in the Grains of Sand as the opening act. He would be the hippie drummer businessman, and that seemed to work until one night in 1972 at Gannon College in Erie when Yes' burly manager burst through the doors and threw a fit when he learned that the promoter was on stage playing drums.
"When any of one of my acts come through that door," he roared after the Grains set, "I want you to be here to greet them and get them whatever they want!"
Engler decided then and there that his band days were over. After achieving some success as the young hotshot promoter, in 1973 he was invited to partner with Pat DiCesare, the man who brought the Beatles to Pittsburgh and controlled the bookings at the Civic Arena.
In short order, DiCesare-Engler became one of the nation's top promoters, but it didn't start well. Engler's job was handling the deals, and the first show he booked was Fleetwood Mac, a band he'd worked with prior, at the Syria Mosque. The night of the concert, "Fleetwood Mac" showed up without Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Bob Welch or anyone else people knew as Fleetwood Mac. When Engler balked at putting an imposter band on stage, the manager, who owned the Fleetwood name, took a swing at him. After much quarrelling, the show went on and the crowd, inexplicably, loved it.
"Behind the Stage Door" is filled with such stories of petulant rock stars and their last-minute foibles and escapades, the best of which occurred in the '70s.
Engler's first large-scale show was Eric Clapton at Three Rivers Stadium in 1974, a huge financial risk at $100,000, plus $50,000 for opening act The Band. At showtime, the promoter recalls, Clapton was so wasted he had to be lifted by his roadies step by step onto the stage. Somehow, once he got up there, muscle memory took over.
In that same era, in Allentown, Joe Cocker was staggering around with a bottle of red wine before he projectile vomited on the crowd. When he took off his shirt and then started fumbling with his zipper, the police threatened to take both the artist and the promoter to jail.
With drugs everywhere and local authorities skeptical about rock music, the late '60s, early '70s was wild behind the scenes, and Engler, looking like a rock star himself, was constantly invited to party with the artists.
"As I say in the book, I've never taken any drugs in my life, other than smoked some marijuana," he says. "I would have been absorbed into a crazy life and never would have made it. So, I never said no directly, to make them feel uncomfortable. I would said, 'I'm already gone … I can't do anything else.' "
There were countless occasions where, as a promoter, you could do 99 things right and miss one big thing.
– At an Ozzy Osbourne show in York in the early '80s, D-E's stage manager forgot one small detail: Hire the 20 security guards that were supposed to be around the stage. Engler's solution: Round up the 20 biggest fans he could find in line, tell them they could stand close to the stage and put stickers on them.
– When a post-Pirate concert was running 20 minutes late because of extra innings, the famously difficult Chuck Berry refused to play. Engler slyly went out and blocked his car in, but even that didn't work when Berry jumped the curb.
– Nobody bothered to keep an eye on Aerosmith during that huge 1977 Three Rivers Stadium show with ZZ Top, so the band, displeased with everything from the font size of its name on the poster to a fan killing the power during its set, trashed a small fleet of Winebagos backstage with condiment bottles.
– At the biggest Springsteen concert ever in Pittsburgh, Three Rivers Stadium, a few members of the E Street Band missed their stage cue because they were still playing pingpong.
– Sebastian Bach of Skid Row barely made it to the stage to open for Bon Jovi in Johnstown because he was in police custody after picking a fight with a cop.
Pop stars were notoriously vain and unpredictable creatures. Carly Simon, freaking out backstage at the Stanley, canceled due to stage fright with 3,500 people waiting outside. Madonna insisted that nobody working at the Arena look at her. Van Halen, indeed, had the "no brown M&M's" on the rider, forcing promoters to wonder: Do they mean dark brown or light brown or both? Motley Crue's opening act, DJ Larceny, infamously screened a porn film at the Arena, to the outrage of police, security and parents there with their kids.
On one trip, Kiss' rider insisted that the promoter dress as his favorite Kiss member or be fined $2,500. So Engler borrowed a costume from a local tribute band and went as Paul Stanley. Axl Rose, during a stadium visit, decided that night that he wanted a $15,000 "Greek orgy" birthday party after the show, which took place in the Steelers locker room.
Sometimes the crowd created the drama. During a Pat Travers concert at the Stanley, there were too many fans in the pit, causing it to gradually sink as the show went on. They needed to get ladders to bring people back up. Even worse, when Nazareth played the Stanley Theatre in 1975, security looked up and noticed a pair of legs dangling from the ceiling. Someone tried to sneak in through the roof and had to be rescued during the show.
Most of the time, DiCesare-Engler turned a nice profit. And then there was Monsters of Rock with Van Halen, Metallica, etc., at Three Rivers Stadium in 1988. D-E needed 40,000 fans and came up 10,000 short for a loss of $400,000. Neither partner could take a paycheck for a year.
The '80s and '90s is when the concert business became big business and the culture of major concerts changed.
"Managers got better, tour accountants came in, if there were problems with the artist, they couldn't exist," Engler says. "It was, 'We gotta watch the money and keep everybody straight, because now this is a machine.' Before it was four guys up there and a roadie in an Econoline van. Now, it's eight semis and 62 people on the road. When this goes down it's like a little factory, so everyone had to be on their toes."
He writes that in the '70s, the money split was 60-40 in favor of the artist. By the '90s, when D-E was involved with the bookings at Star Lake, artists were demanding 90 to 95 percent, leaving the promoter with the parking and concession profits.
By 1998, DiCesare-Engler, like many regional promoters, was bought out by SFX Entertainment, which became Clear Channel and then Live Nation. Engler stayed on as a CEO before leaving the business in 2000. At that point, it wasn't much fun anymore.
In the past few years, however, he's re-emerged to produce a handful of events, including two with special meaning to him: 2010's 30th anniversary of Bob Marley's final concert, which took place at the Stanley Theatre, and this year's 40th anniversary celebration of Kansas, which virtually broke out in Pittsburgh.
Both were the kind of spirited, emotional events that took him back to the reason he started doing this in the first place.
"I wanted to be a part of this movement," he says. "In 1969, when I started my first company, I had the burning desire because this was my music, this was our music, this was our generation, to send a message. And it was a message. It wasn't just songs, it was a message. That continued on for some time, and then as the business grew, the business started to overshadow the music."
These days, though, he's still seeks out new bands to listen to and you'll still find him at concerts as a fan. And despite the fact that now there are outrageous ticket fees and $40 T-shirts, young people are still signing up for that life-altering experience. Just like Jon Bon Jovi did in 1975.
You don't even have to flip through the book to recognize that a lot of Rich Engler's great memories are Pittsburgh's great memories.
"As I say at the end of the book," Engler concludes, "I just hope through my career, I brought happiness to some people through music, because that was my mission."

Food allergy or food intolerance?
Family history
Who is affected?
How common?
Which foods?
Are food allergies increasing?
Further information
Keywords: allergy, intolerance, allergen
It is important to distinguish food allergy from food intolerance and understand the differences between them.
Food allergy is an immunological reaction to food proteins.
Food intolerance is a pharmacological reaction (like the side effects of a drug) to the chemicals in foods.
Family history
Allergy: hayfever, eczema or asthma
Intolerance: migraine, irritable bowel symptoms, behaviour problems
Who is affected?
Allergies are most likely to affect babies and young children because of their underdeveloped immune system.
Intolerances are likely to affect children are because dose for weight they consume a higher dose of food chemicals than adults. Women of child-bearing age are also vulnerable because of hormonal influence. Senior citizens are vulnerable because ageing livers and kidneys are slower to excrete chemicals from the body. Exposure to toxic chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs or illness such as gastrointestinal infection can trigger food intolerance.
How common?
Food allergies (not airborne allergies such as pollens) are considered to be relatively rare - affecting up to 8% of babies under 12 months, 3% of children under five, and less than 1% of adults.
Food intolerance is much more common, affecting babies (through breastmilk), children and adults. Effects are related to dose so in theory, everyone will react if the dose is high enough, and this was confirmed in a study with MSG. People most likely to be affected by nasty food chemicals are those who are most sensitive, and those who consume the highest doses. As additives continue to increase in our food supply every year, we should expect more people to be affected, especially children.
Which foods?
People with food allergies typically react to a few foods. Allergy is produced by a combination of inherited susceptibility with exposure so allergens vary. Common allergens overseas include buckwheat in Japan and lentils in Mediterranean countries. In Australia the most common foods are milk, soy, egg, peanut and fish. Allergies to the last two are more likely to last throughout life and allergies to peanuts are the most likely to be life-threatening.
With food intolerance, food chemicals most likely to cause problems are artificial colours, natural colour annatto (160b), preservatives, flavour enhancers (the 600 numbers) and some natural chemicals called salicylates and amines. These can be in many different and seemingly unrelated foods. For example, asthmatics are most likely to be affected by sulphite preservatives (220-228) in dried fruit, juice drinks, cordials, wine, sausages, some medications and a wide range of other foods.
Allergic reactions are quick. They usually occur within 30 minutes and are often easy to identify.
Food intolerance reactions can be delayed up to 48 hours or more, or effects can be cumulative. For instance, children rarely react to the preservative in one slice of bread, but if they eat bread every day - as children do - the effects can build up over a month and fluctuate with no obvious cause. In our experience, parents rarely realise their children are affected by food chemicals until their symptoms improve when nasty food chemicals are removed from the diet.
Allergic reactions can be to the tiniest amount of an allergen.
Intolerance reactions to food chemicals are dose-related. Some people are more sensitive than others. In theory, everyone will react to food additives if they consume enough and one study on MSG confirmed this, although a few of the subjects reacted to very high doses which were unlikely to be consumed in one sitting.
Allergic reactions can be itching, swelling, rash, spreading hives, vomiting, diarrhea, breathing difficulties and in the most severe of the allergic disorders, anaphylaxis can lead to collapse and death. By definition, anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction which involves two of the body's systems (eg respiratory and gastrointestinal or skin). Anaphylactic deaths as a result of insect bites or penicillin are usually very quick - within minutes - and due to cardiac arrest, anaphylactic deaths due to food allergies are usually due to suffocation (breathing difficulties).
Food intolerance reactions can be the same as above, as well as:
- skin (rashes, swelling)
- airways (asthma, stuffy or runny nose, frequent colds and infections)
- gastrointestinal tract (irritable bowel symptoms, colic, bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, frequent mouth ulcers, reflux, bedwetting, 'sneaky poos', 'sticky poos')
- central nervous system (migraines, headaches, anxiety, depression, lethargy, impairment of memory and concentration, panic attacks, irritability, restlessness, inattention, sleep disturbance, restless legs, moodswings, PMT).
Symptoms of food intolerance can come and go and change throughout life.
Food allergies: involve an IgE response and can be identified by skin prick tests or RAST blood tests and confirmed with avoidance and challenge.
Food intolerance: there are no laboratory tests. The only way to identify provoking foods is through a comprehensive elimination diet and careful challenges.
Food allergies: avoidance with regular testing in the case of babies and children who may grow out of it. Life-threatening peanut allergies in particular are increasing. This is thought to be due to exposure through the use of peanuts in many Western-style processed foods. In allergic families, complete avoidance of peanuts, peanut-containing products (and also cow's milk) is recommended for pregnant women for the last six weeks of pregnancy and throughout breastfeeding. Some schools have banned peanut butter and other peanut products. The recent case of a 13 year old boy at school camp who died after a dare to just taste peanut butter is an example. For more information see the Anaphlaxis Australia website.
Food intolerances: an elimination diet with challenges to pinpoint the culprits, gradual reintroduction of certain chemicals to ascertain tolerance, and subsequent avoidance to that limit. The elimination diet we recommend is 'failsafe', meaning Free of Additives and Low in Salicylates, Amines and Flavour Enhancers, supervised by a failsafe-friendly dietitian. The Food Intolerance Network can provide a list of dietitians on request to
For an occasional antidote to a food intolerance reaction, see Antidote in the Failsafe shopping list /failsafe-shopping-list/personal-medications-and-supplements.
Are food allergies increasing?
Some experts think so. The newer flavour enhancers called ribonucleotides (635, 627 and 631) are known to boost the immune system, so in theory it is possible they could lead to true allergies which are essentially an over-boosted immune system. This is not mentioned in the scientific literature but was suggested to me by an immunology graduate whose own child developed true allergies during two weeks of 635 reactions while her parents, doctors and caregivers tried to work out the cause of her rash. (See our 635 Ribo Rash factsheet). We have noticed that some other children and adults in our network have also developed true allergies after reactions to 635. We wonder whether these additives could contribute to an increase in allergies particularly since they are added to baby formulas - in very small quantities, it is true. But is anyone looking?

Aristotle was not primarily a mathematician but made important contributions by systematising deductive logic. He wrote on physical subjects: some parts of his Analytica posteriora show an unusual grasp of the mathematical method. Primarily, however, he is important in the development of all knowledge for, as the authors of [2] write:-
Aristotle, more than any other thinker, determined the orientation and the content of Western intellectual history. He was the author of a philosophical and scientific system that through the centuries became the support and vehicle for both medieval Christian and Islamic scholastic thought: until the end of the 17th century, Western culture was Aristotelian. And, even after the intellectual revolutions of centuries to follow, Aristotelian concepts and ideas remained embedded in Western thinking.
Aristotle was born in Stagirus, or Stagira, or Stageirus, on the Chalcidic peninsula of northern Greece. His father was Nicomachus, a medical doctor, while his mother was named Phaestis. Nicomachus was certainly living in Chalcidice when Aristotle was born and he had probably been born in that region. Aristotle's mother, Phaestis, came from Chalcis in Euboea and her family owned property there.
There is little doubt that Nicomachus would have intended Aristotle to become a doctor, for the tradition was that medical skills were kept secret and handed down from father to son. It was not a society where people visited a doctor but rather it was the doctors who travelled round the country tending to the sick. Although we know nothing of Aristotle's early years it is highly likely that he would have accompanied his father in his travels. We do know that Nicomachus found the conditions in Chalcidice less satisfactory than in the neighbouring state of Macedonia and he began to work there with so much success that he was soon appointed as the personal physician to Amyntas III, king of Macedonia.
There is no record to indicate whether Aristotle lived with his father in Pella, the capital of Macedonia, while Nicomachus attended to king Amyntas at the court there. However, Aristotle was certainly friendly with Philip, king Amyntas's son, some years later and it seems reasonable to assume that the two, who were almost exactly the same age, had become friendly in Pella as young children.
When Aristotle was about ten years old his father died. This certainly meant that Aristotle could not now follow in his father's profession of doctor and, since his mother seems also to have died young, Aristotle was brought up by a guardian, Proxenus of Atarneus, who was his uncle (or possibly a family friend as is suggested by some authors). Proxenus taught Aristotle Greek, rhetoric, and poetry which complemented the biological teachings that Nicomachus had given Aristotle as part of training his son in medicine. Since in latter life Aristotle wrote fine Greek prose, this too must have been part of his early education.
In 367 BC Aristotle, at the age of seventeen, became a student at Plato's Academy in Athens. At the time that Aristotle joined the Academy it had been operating for twenty years. Plato was not in Athens, but rather he was on his first visit to Syracuse. We should not think of Plato's Academy as a non-political organisation only interested in abstract ideas. The Academy was highly involved in the politics of the time, in fact Plato's visit to Sicily was for political reasons, and the politics of the Academy and of the whole region would play a major role in influencing the course of Aristotle's life.
When Aristotle arrived in Athens, the Academy was being run by Eudoxus of Cnidos in Plato's absence. Speusippus, Plato's nephew, was also teaching at the Academy as was Xenocrates of Chalcedon. After being a student, Aristotle soon became a teacher at the Academy and he was to remain there for twenty years. We know little regarding what Aristotle taught at the Academy. In [10] Diogenes Laertius, writing in the second century AD, says that Aristotle taught rhetoric and dialectic. Certainly Aristotle wrote on rhetoric at this time, issuing Gryllus which attacked the views on rhetoric of Isocrates, who ran another major educational establishment in Athens. All Aristotle's writings of this time strongly support Plato's views and those of the Academy.
Towards the end of Aristotle's twenty years at the Academy his position became difficult due to the political events of the time. Amyntas, the king of Macedonia, died around 369 BC, a couple of years before Aristotle went to Athens to join the Academy. Two of Amyntas's sons, Alexander II and Perdiccas III, each reigned Macedonia for a time but the kingdom suffered from both internal disputes and external wars. In 359 BC Amyntas's third son, Philip II came to the throne when Perdiccas was killed fighting off an Illyrian invasion. Philip used skilful tactics, both military and political, to allow Macedonia a period of internal peace in which they expanded by victories over the surrounding areas.
Philip captured Olynthus and annexed Chalcidice in 348 BC. Stagirus, the town of Aristotle's birth, held out for a while but was also defeated by Philip. Athens worried about the powerful threatening forces of Macedonia, and yet Aristotle had been brought up at the Court of Macedonia and had probably retained his friendship with Philip. The actual order of events is now a little uncertain. Plato died in 347 BC and Speusippus assumed the leadership of the Academy. Aristotle was certainly opposed to the views of Speusippus and he may have left the Academy following Plato's death for academic reasons or because he failed to be named head of the Academy himself. Some sources, however, suggest that he may have left for political reasons before Plato died because of his unpopularity due to his Macedonian links.
Aristotle travelled from Athens to Assos which faces the island of Lesbos. He was not alone in leaving the Academy for Xenocrates of Chalcedon left with him. In Assos Aristotle was received by the ruler Hermias of Atarneus with much acclaim. It is likely that Aristotle was acting as an ambassador for Philip and he certainly was treated as such by Hermias. Aristotle married Pythias, the niece and adopted daughter of Hermias, and they had one child, a daughter also called Pythias. However, Aristotle's wife died about 10 years after their marriage. It is thought that she was much younger than Atistotle, being probably of age of about 18 when they married.
On Assos, Aristotle became the leader of the group of philosophers which Hermias had gathered there. It is possible that Xenocrates was also a member of the group for a time. Aristotle had a strong interest in anatomy and the structure of living things in general, an interest which his father had fostered in him in his early years, that helped him to develop a remarkable talent for observation. Aristotle and the members of his group began to collect observations while in Assos, in particular in zoology and biology. Barnes writes in [6] that Aristotle's:-
... studies on animals laid the foundations of the biological sciences; and they were not superseded until more than two thousand years after his death. The enquiries upon which those great works were based were probably carried out largely in Assos and Lesbos.
Aristotle probably begun his work Politics on Assos as well as On Kingship which is now lost. He began to develop a philosophy distinct from that of Plato who had said the kings should be philosophers and philosophers kings. In On Kingship Aristotle wrote that it is:-
... not merely unnecessary for a king to be a philosopher, but even a disadvantage. Rather a king should take the advice of true philosophers. Then he would fill his reign with good deeds, not with good words.
However, Aristotle's time in Assos was ended by political events. The Persians attacked the town and Hermias was captured and executed. Aristotle escaped and stopped on the island of Lesbos on his way to Macedonia. It was more than a passing visit for he remained there for about a year and must have had the group of scientists from Assos with him for they continued their biological researches there.
Macedonia was now at peace with Athens, for Philip had made a treaty in 346 BC. In 343 BC Aristotle reached the Court of Macedonia and he was to remain there for seven years. The often quoted story that he became tutor to the young Alexander the Great, the son of Philip, is almost certainly a later invention as was pointed out by Jaeger, see [16]. Grayeff in [12] suggests that Philip saw in Aristotle a future head of the Academy in Athens. Certainly this would have suited Philip well for Speusippus, the then head of the Academy, was strongly opposed to Philip and strongly encouraging Athens to oppose the rise of Macedonia.
The treaty between Athens and Macedonia began to fall apart in 340 BC and preparations for war began. The following year Speusippus died but Aristotle, although proposed as head of the Academy, was not elected. The position went to Xenocrates and Philip lost interest in his support for Aristotle. He moved back to his home in Stagirus and took with him to Stagirus his circle of philosophers and scientists.
Aristotle did not marry again after the death of his wife but he did form a relationship with Herpyllis, who came from his home town of Stagirus. It is not clear when they first met but together they had a son, Nicomachus, named after Aristotle's father.
Philip was now at the height of his power but, as so often happens, that proved the time for internal disputes. Aristotle supported Alexander, Philip's son who soon became king. Alexander decided on a policy similar to his father in regard to Athens and sought to assert his power by peaceful means. Alexander protected the Academy and encouraged it to continue with its work. At the same time, however, he sent Aristotle to Athens to found a rival establishment.
In 335 BC Aristotle founded his own school the Lyceum in Athens. He arrived in the city with assistants to staff the school and a large range of teaching materials he had gathered while in Macedonia; books, maps, and other teaching material which may well have been intended at one stage to support Aristotle in his bid to become head of the Academy. The AcaAcademydemy had always been narrow in its interests but the Lyceum under Aristotle pursued a broader range of subjects. Prominence was given by Aristotle to the detailed study of nature and in this and all the other subjects he studied [6]:-
His own researches were carried out in company, and he communicated his thoughts to his friends and pupils, never thinking to retain them as a private treasure-store. He thought, indeed, that a man could not claim to know a subject unless he was capable of transmitting his knowledge to others, and he regarded teaching as the proper manifestation of knowledge.
Whether the works that come down to us are due to Aristotle or to later members of his school was questioned by a number of scholars towards the end of the 19th century. The reasons are discussed by Jaeger [16], but in this work Jaeger argues that the apparent differences in the approach by Aristotle in different works can be explained by his ideas developing over a number of years. Grayeff [6] examines certain texts in detail and again claims that they represent developments in the ideas of Aristotle's school long after his death. He writes:-
According to a tradition which arose about two hundred and fifty years after his death, which then became dominant and even today is hardly disputed, Aristotle in these same years lectured - not once, but two or three times, in almost every subject - on logic, physics, astronomy, meteorology, zoology, metaphysics, theology, psychology, politics, economics, ethics, rhetoric, poetics; and that he wrote down these lectures, expanding them and amending them several times, until they reached the stage in which we read them. However, still more astounding is the fact that the majority of these subjects did not exist as such before him, so that he would have been the first to conceive of and establish them, as systematic disciplines.
After the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, anti-Macedonian feeling in Athens made Aristotle retire to Chalcis where he lived in the house which had once belonged to his mother and was still retained by the family. He died the following year from a stomach complaint at the age of 62.
It is virtually impossible to give an impression of Aristotle's personality with any certainty but the authors of [2] write:-
The anecdotes related of him reveal him as a kindly, affectionate character, and they show barely any trace of the self-importance that some scholars think they can detect in his works. His will, which has been preserved, exhibits the same kindly traits; he makes references to his happy family life and takes solicitous care of his children, as well as his servants.
Barnes [6] writes:-
He was a bit of a dandy, wearing rings on his fingers and cutting his hair fashionably short. He suffered from poor digestion, and is said to have been spindle-shanked. He was a good speaker, lucid in his lectures, persuasive in conversation; and he had a mordant wit. His enemies, who were numerous, made him out to be arrogant and overbearing. ... As a man he was, I suspect, admirable rather than amiable.
We have commented above on the disputes among modern scholars as to whether Aristotle wrote the treatises now assigned to him. We do know that his work falls into two distinct parts, namely works which he published during his lifetime and are now lost (although some fragments survive in quotations in works by others), and the collection of writings which have come down to us and were not published by Aristotle in his lifetime. We can say with certainty that Aristotle never intended these 30 works which fill over 2000 printed pages to be published. They are certainly lecture notes from the courses given at the Lyceum either being, as most scholars believe, the work of Aristotle, or of later lecturers. Of course it is distinctly possible that they are notes of courses originally given by Aristotle but later added to by other lecturers after Aristotle's death.
The works were first published in about 60 BC by Andronicus of Rhodes, the last head of the Lyceum. Certainly [2]:-
The form, titles, and order of Aristotle's texts that are studied today were given to them by Andronicus almost three centuries after the philosopher's death, and the long history of commentary upon them began at this stage.
What do these works contain? There are important works on logic. Aristotle believed that logic was not a science but rather had to be treated before the study of every branch of knowledge. Aristotle's name for logic was "analytics", the term logic being introduced by Xenocrates working at the Academy. Aristotle believed that logic must be applied to the sciences [6]:-
The sciences - at any rate the theoretical sciences - are to be axiomatised. What, then, are their axioms to be? What conditions must a proposition satisfy to count as an axiom? again, what form will the derivations within each science take? By what rules will theorems be deduced from axioms? Those are among the questions which Aristotle poses in his logical writings, and in particular in the works known as Prior and Posterior Analytics.
In fact in Prior Analytics Aristotle proposed the now famous Aristotelian syllogistic, a form of argument consisting of two premises and a conclusion. His example is:-
(i) Every Greek is a person.
(ii) Every person is mortal.
(iii) Every Greek is mortal.
Aristotle was not the first to suggest axiom systems. Plato had made the bold suggestion that there might be a single axiom system to embrace all knowledge. Aristotle went for the somewhat more possible suggestion of an axiom system for each science. Notice that Euclid and his axiom system for geometry came after Aristotle.
Another topic to which Aristotle made major contributions was natural philosophy or rather physics by today's terminology. (I [EFR] show my age and the traditional nature of St Andrews University if I remark that in the 1960s a pass in 'General Natural Philosophy' formed part of my degree.) Aristotle looks at matter, change, movement, space, position, and time. He also made contributions to the study of astronomy where in particular he studied comets, geography with an examination of features such as rivers), chemistry where he was interested in processes such as burning, as well as meteorology and the study of rainbows.
As well as important works on zoology and psychology, Aristotle wrote his famous work on metaphysics. This, according to Aristotle, studies [2]:-
... the most general or abstract features of reality and the principles that have universal validity. ... metaphysics studies whatever must be true of all existent things just insofar as they exist, [and] it studies the general conditions which any existing thing must satisfy.
Although Aristotle does not appear to have made any new discoveries in mathematics, he is important in the development of mathematics. As Heath explains in [14]:-
The importance of a proper understanding of the mathematics in Aristotle lies principally in the fact that most of his illustrations of scientific method are taken from mathematics.
Clearly Aristotle had a thorough grasp of elementary mathematics and believed mathematics to have great importance as one of three theoretical sciences. However, it is fair to say that he did not agree with Plato, who elevated mathematics to such a prominent place of study that there was little room for the range of sciences studied by Aristotle. The other two theoretical sciences, Aristotle claimed, were (using modern terminology) philosophy and theoretical physics.
Heath notes in the introduction to [14] some of the mathematics referred to by Aristotle in his works:-
... Aristotle was aware of the important discoveries of Eudoxus which affected profoundly the exposition of the Elements by Euclid. One allusion clearly shows that Aristotle knew of Eudoxus's great Theory of Proportion which was expounded by Euclid in his Book V, and recognised the importance of it. Another passage recalls the fundamental assumption on which Eudoxus based his 'method of exhaustion' for measuring areas and volumes; and, of course, Aristotle was familiar with the system of concentric spheres by which Eudoxus and Callippus accounted theoretically for the independent motions of the sun, moon, and planets. ...
The incommensurable is mentioned over and over again, but the case mentioned is that of the diagonal of a square in relation to its side; there is no allusion to the extension of the theory to other cases by Theodorus and Theaetetus...
Heath [14] also mentions the mathematics which Aristotle, perhaps surprising, does not refer to. There is:-
... no allusion to conic sections, to the doubling of the cube, or to the trisection of an angle. The problem of squaring the circle is mentioned in connection with the attempts of Antiphon, Bryson, and Hippocrates to solve it; but there is nothing about the curve of Hippias ...
While Heath [14] discusses the many mathematical references in Aristotle, the book [5] attempts to construct (or reconstruct) a work on Aristotle's view of the philosophy of mathematics. As Apostle writes in [5]:-
... numerous passages on mathematics are distributed throughout the works we possess and indicate a definite philosophy of mathematics, so that an attempt to construct or reconstruct that philosophy with a fairly high degree of accuracy is possible.
We end our discussion with an illustration of Aristotle's ideas of 'continuous' and 'infinite' in mathematics. Heath [15] explains Aristotle's idea that 'continuous':-
... could not be made up of indivisible parts; the continuous is that in which the boundary or limit between two consecutive parts, where they touch, is one and the same...
As to the infinite Aristotle believed that it did not actually exist but only potentially exists. Aristotle writes in Physics (see for example [15]):-
But my argument does not anyhow rob mathematicians of their study, although it denies the existence of the infinite in the sense of actual existence as something increased to such an extent that it cannot be gone through; for, as it is, they do not need the infinite or use it, but only require that the finite straight line shall be as long as they please. ... Hence it will make no difference to them for the purpose of proofs.

President Trump (peace be upon him) has announced that the United States is officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel ... which it already is, as he noted when he said "Today, we finally acknowledge the obvious: that Jerusalem is Israels capital. This is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality. It is also the right thing to do. Its something that has to be done."
The US embassy will be moved, also quite appropriately, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The "palestinians" were never even real Palestinians. They are basically latter-day Philistines. And they have no legitimate claim to any land in Israel (or possibly anywhere else).
This is good news. And if the Philistines attack, they should be annihilated.
Read any news story before the 60's and they were called "arabs". There was no Palestinian race, no Palestinian language, no Palestinian anything.
Hell, if you look at the flag of Palestine from the 30's it' had a Jewish star on it. The Bank of Palestine issued currency with Hebrew on it.
Arafat with the creation of the PLO was brilliant to invent an oppressed people whose land was stolen, that NEVER EXISTED.
The truth is that it doesn't really matter. Israel belongs to the Jews, and the Palestinians/Philistines/Arabs have no legitimate claim to any of it. It was magnanimous of Israel to give them a bit of land to call their own in an attempt to establish peace, but the Palestinians/Philistines/Arabs have since proven to the world that they are not interested in peace; they want nothing short of 100% of Israel and for all the Jews to be dead.
You can't negotiate with people whose minimum requirement is for you to be dead.
I still think Andrew Klavan's "one state solution" [ https://youtu.be/uIEeiDjdUuU ] is the best possible way to go.
moving the embasse is nothing more than a symbolic gesture, utterly useless but WILL get people killed. fucking stupid, the whole lot of you...
friend of mine said it better:
To my many Orthodox Jewish friends who are rejoicing in Trump's recent announcement about Jerusalem: you do realize that this in no way reflects an alliance with you, but rather was solely intended to appease Evangelical supporters, many of whom would be much happier if you didn't exist, don't you?
It is a core evangelical belief that when Jerusalem is restored as the capital the messiah's arrival will be hastened and the Jews will be converted to Christianity. This is not some marginal rumored belief - it's core doctrine.
The announcement is intended to generate Evangelical support now in Alabama for its would-be pedophile Senator, Trump's bird of a feather.
Your chosen leader makes "crooked" Hillary look like a Saint. It's time you took off the filtered glasses, put down whatever you're smoking, washed your hands and recognized Trump for the decrepit, amoral lunatic that he is, or risk losing whatever respect may be left for you among decent people with a brain.
The idea of peace is far-fetched. Hamas (which controls the Palestinian Authority) wants Israel destroyed and Jews dead. Not exactly a great starting place.
Acknowledging Israel's capitol says to the world that America stands by the continued right of Israel to not only exist, but determine her destiny, as is her right.
If peace negotiations are to occur, it is far better to come from a position of strength, which this helps bolster.
(Moshe Dyan never should have turned the keys of the Temple Mount over to the Wakf..... We wouldn't even be having this discussion now.)
When it comes to the Philistines ... if you appease them, they attack; if you anger them, they attack; if you do nothing, they attack. They are an organized mob of terrorists whose sole mission in life is to effect the complete destruction of the Jewish state.
You know who else wanted the Jews all dead?
There's something ironic here, of course... by recognizing Jerusalem in this way, something I expect many Jews wanted to see, it brought violence to Israel, something I expect Israelis didn't want to see.
Worth it?
I dunno. Not my call, really. I kinda view that whole region of the world as having a particularly passionate form of insanity that I won't ever understand.
Not that I understand our various forms of insanity, either.
This. Today, let's go with the Greeks.
Fri Dec 08 2017 10:08:01 EST from wizard of aahz @ UncensoredMost other peoples.
There has been pretty much non-stop violence since forever, with the "stabbing intifada" pretty much since 2016...
Aside from a handful of protests which turned into riots, things haven't gotten much worse over the past week.
The reason we're not seeing daily attacks here is that the army is stopping them, as they have been for a long long time.
