Debate: Are humans better than other forms of life?
Many people think that something called respect applies to all forms of life; on the other hands humans are essentially above other animals is the sense of intelligence and culture. Because of our mental superiority it is ethical for animals to be farmed and mistreated, animals treated by the standards human would receive as punishment for murder and other horrendous acts.
Are Humans really superior to other forms of life?
Topics: philosophy society
Dec 5 2012: Humans are not superior, however our technology is. In fact, our technology is the only thing keeping us at the top of the food chain because without it, we would still be running from predators. Believing we are better than any other species that are surviving is narcissistic. The only reason humanity has been able to progress is an anomaly in itself. Mostly caused by superior predators being extinct. To assume that we have simply fought our way to the top of the food chain all by ourselves is ignorant. All creatures/being are equal in the fact that we can all be destroyed by this planet. I mean we rose from a evolutionary glitch, we could just as easily fall by one.
Dec 5 2012: Being that what makes us great is our metal capabilities, isn't a product of our superiority our superior technology. Other wise relatively our technology would not be so great if other animals had a equal or greater intellectual capacity.
We didn't fight our way to the top we outsmarted everything else, there is a difference.
Dec 6 2012: I have to disagree. Our superiority is secured by our technology alone our greater mental capabilities mean nothing if we are competing in the wild. A lion will hunt you down and kill you no matter how intelligent you are. however you can survive the attack if you shoot the lion with gun. And superiority is all a matter of perspective.m
Dec 6 2012: I have to agree with Zman. Samantha, If your argument is...
(We are at the top of the food chain) = (because we have Technology)
and it is true that..
(We have Technology) = (because we have Higher intelligence)
Then it only follows that..
(We are at the top of the food-chain) = (because we have Higher intelligence)
Dec 5 2012: Evolutionary Glitch??? How can technology be a glitch if it was created through the process of evolution. Further more it was our brains which adapted to survive and solve complex problems that gave rise to technology. That being said I do believe that it is ignorant of us to put ourselves above every other species on this planet, there is no better or worst scenario. If some other species was pressured into evolving intelligence, they very well could have been in our shoes. Evolution is a very powerful mechanism, and will always continue to create new species and new types of life, now whether we as a species will survive long enough to see this is entirely up to us.
Dec 3 2012: in a more green manner.
Life on a planet is finite.
I think that our intelligence could direct us down a path to our destruction, it depends on what we consider to be important parts of our world.
Ecosystems are balanced, meaning that they are in equelibrium with the earth and we are not at that point

Nov 30 2012: Hi, Ed !
I've come up with this 'model' too, it implies that the universe is a unity ; matter and spirit ( or mind ) are not separate and death is a kind of impossible condition for below ( scientific world view embraces it ) as well as above, as all sacred teachings are trying to convey.
" There is no dust that has not been alive "
Thanks for responding ! :)
Nov 29 2012: Superior by what measure? Generally, we are more intelligent and more adaptable. We may be the only species on the planet that has control over its own survival or extinction. From an evolutionary perspective, insects and microbes are far more numerous. From a moral perspective, there is no reason to say any species is superior.
IMO, the best reason for putting homo sapiens at the top of the biological hierarchy is that I happen to be a member of homo sapiens. It may be the most honest reason too.
Nov 29 2012: We are probably at the top of the biological hierarchy from the simple fact that we dominate the world. We also dictate almost every aspect of the earth. Not only to we exist, we thrive and we developed a society as well as developed technologically, intellectually, and socially. These are things that put us apart from the rest. We are also, by far, the most moral race on earth; being that we are the only species on earth not to be applied to Darwinism.
Nov 29 2012: Have you see the show whale wars.
The just a few examples of how our species is above the standards of other creatures. This is because we can do these things we are better then other creatures that live on this planet. Termites may create their own cities but do they understand the world around them, can the create machines that make their lives easier.
These are not my specific values or indicators, these are things that other animals cannot do, any animal on this planet is effected by us, and in a way is around because we let them. Viruses and other tiny forms of "life" and even they are soon to be controlled by us.
Dec 9 2012: "I guess we have no absolute basis that Humans are superior to other forms of life." The answer to that is that we have killed all the other species off so we are. There are only 35,000 lions left in the wilderness, about the same as the number of humans in a small town in Eastern Pennsylvania, so seems like we are pretty superior even to the king of the jungle.
Bin ParkDec 6 2012: I guess we have no absolute basis that Humans are superior to other forms of life.
Humans just have different kind of abilities from other's. Animals are well adapted to the nature itself innately, for instance, they have more greater physical abilities such as excellent sight and muscular strength than Humans. By comparison, Humans are born without specific physical capabilities, so to speak, which protect own body from environmental hazards.
Instead, Humans have superior brain and create tools with mental superiority to protect themselves. Let us suppose that both Humans and animals would be neglected in a state of nature without any manipulation. I guess we would come to realize that Humans are more fragile than other forms of life literally and figuratively.
However, I am afraid that Humans have never thought so. Unfortunately, animals are mistreated and abused by Humans and their coarse selfishness. I think we should not overlook the point that all Humans are also parts of Mother Nature, that is Humans are not more than Nature and Cosmos. Eventually, symbiosis is possible when both Humans and other forms of life go together, and that is the best we can hope for.
Thank you for this chance to think about. Is there any motive that makes you have this question, if you do not mind my asking:)?
Dec 5 2012: I would think that the simple fact that evolve would be to vague a measurement, a slug is not equal in is evolution compared to a fox. We as human are a dominating species because life doesn't evolve evenly, and therefor all forms of life aren't on par with each other.
Sure each form of life has a spot in the world but the size and the effect each life form has on others not the same.
Dec 5 2012: I think that the answer to this question depends on how far one takes it. Yes, there are certain human attributes that seemingly make us superior: language, culture, art and music, societies, opposable thumbs, etc., etc., but it is important for us to remember where we came from. The truth of the matter is that we share a vast amount of our genetic make-up with many of the organisms on this planet today; even microorganisms have much of the same genetic code that we do. We all essentially came from the same initial source. In a sense, we are all one. That being said, another aspect of human nature is morality. Our superiority should not be used as an excuse to harm other forms of life. The fact that we are the dominant species on this planet does not make it okay to take advantage of the other species of this Earth. The reality of the matter is that while other species may not be able to achieve as much cognitively or physically, they each do have their own languages and cultures, in a sense. I don't think that it is fair to say that we are 'superior' because we can dominate other species. The only real comparison that I can make to attempt to get my point across is with Autism. The autistic mind is vastly different from societies definition of "normal", which has lead to the mistreatment and abuse of thousands of autistic people based on the assumption that us 'normal minded' folk are superior. The truth is that people with autism have perfectly functioning cognitive abilities, but it is very difficult for them to express this physically. This has lead to years and years of oppression in their own minds due to the belief that those without autism are 'superior'. I think that it's these assumptions that inevitably gets us in trouble.
Dec 4 2012: Not sure it matters. Every creature strives for quality of life, wants good things to eat, to be warm, etc. That is what we are doing when we farm animals, burn wood for fire, etc.
I often think many things would never have gotten to live at all if it weren't for us. For example, there wouldn't be nearly as many cows on Earth as there are because of us.
Dec 3 2012: How are we better?
We are more successful, but only because we take more than we give. As a species we have more in common with a virus than any other life form. We destroy, reproduce and move on. We will eventually run out of things to destroy and then we will destroy ourselves, as all virus's are bound to do.
We are more complex. We have languages, cultures and technology which has supposedly increased our quality of life but even this is debatable since with these advancements we have created numerous previously unknown issues like stress, depression and suicide. We have waged wars, caused plagues and committed murder (which was previously all unknown)
We have been resoundingly successful and have achieved complexity that is beyond even our own most far fetched dreams but that does not make us better than other forms of life who have all been able to find a place of contentment where they are in balance.
So no i do not believe we are better than other life forms
Dec 3 2012: Humans are better because we have complex evolving language, but other than that, humans have years of progressive technology. We can adapt well, but I think many other species can adapt as well. We can't ingest an array of poisons like opossums. We don't have prehensile tails. We do have weak immune systems compared to most other species of life on Earth. We can't breathe underwater or take much pressure. We can't naturally repel type of bugs. We can't store fats or liquids in extreme climates longer than camels or lung fish can. We don't hibernate, but can we? I don't know the answer to that one.
Humans or homo sapiens are normally weaker, but we are much more advanced in technology.
Dec 3 2012: Superiority of human mind can be defined as the ability to 'figure out' that we don't know more about the Reality than animals or plants do. But we are the only species who are good at 'modeling' reality and creating our own reality that is coherent with our models. The most important thing is that ' our reality ' is a part of and has a lot to do with Reality we can't understand. It shouldn't make us feel superior but responsible
Something like this ... :)
Dec 2 2012: Superiority has to do with domination of the environment (by "jumping" out of the ecosystem), and an animal, if dominating the environment would destroy the environment just by doing so. Intelligence is relative to you opinion on the importance or sustaining the earths original environment, after all we could survive ether way. So regardless of wither or not we choose to act "intelligently" we destroy the environment regardless. It is simply a matter of reducing the amount of damage we, as the most intelligent and superior race on this planet, cause our environment.
Dec 3 2012: An animal, operating primarily on instinct, would live or die according to the environment that supports it. That species evolves in balance within its own ecosystem. That ecosystem depends on such balance in order to sustain itself.
Humans have stopped evolving within the balanced scheme of nature. Instead, we are now evolving psychologically (and probably physically) within a technosystem of our own making, meaning we are losing that instinctual, vital connection with the earth. We do not give back what we take from nature. The inevitable result of that is we think (in our intelligent and superior way??) that technology will be our saviour, and that the finite resources that fashion it and power it, are somehow going to last for ever.
My assertion is that yes, it takes a certain intelligence to jump out of that ecosystem in the first place as we have done, but it takes a far greater level of acuity to come to the collective realisation that this "half intelligence" we currently have is actually ruining the planet. That realisation will not be happening anytime soon, unless stupendous changes take place within our political, economic and religious institutions and the people who blindly support them.
Dec 3 2012: I still maintain that jumping out of the planetary ecosystem as we have done, must be concurrent with a higher degree of global intelligence than we now have, in order to facilitate our essential role as custodians of the very thing that gives us and other animals, life.
I still also maintain that our current belief systems have a corrosive effect on that vital intelligence we should have, in order to ensure planetary health and longevity.
How do you suggest we change the degree by which we are hurting the planet?
Will that change come about as a result of using the degree of intelligencewe have right now, or do we have to wait for a disastrous wake-up call to jolt us into that change?
Dec 3 2012: The degree by which we we are hurting and will hurt the planet is detrimental as I said, and the only ways I think I believe that we could change is by changing our way of producing food and products (in a more economical manner).
my main point is that we will always have a corrosive effect on the planet regardless of our intellect.
Dec 3 2012: "...the only ways I think I believe that we could change is by changing our way of producing food and products (in a more economical manner)"
By that, do you specifically mean developing more genetically modified crops and livestock and more intensive farming methods?
"...my main point is that we will always have a corrosive effect on the planet regardless of our intellect"
Are you saying that humans are a finite species?
Will our 'intelligence' be the main catalyst of our own downfall?
Can we learn anything from ecosystems that are healthy and self-sustaining, before it's too late?
Nov 30 2012: " Man is the only animal who can be highly active while sitting still "
We are not only self aware , we are aware that we are aware.
And we must never forget about the importance of language. Language strongly correlates with our human way of structuring the world of our existence - time.
Nov 30 2012: Frankly, I am getting tired of this debate.
Perhaps someone else could join, as a whale, and ask homo sapiens what makes them think they are even close to being the equal of the obviously superior (and better looking!) whale.
The book "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn addresses this question much better than I ever could. I strongly recommend it. It is fairly short, and it provides a very non-human point of view about the environment.
Nov 29 2012: The essence of life is less noble than many people are willing to think, especially within the animal kingdom, in which the 'battle of the food chain' is a daily threat on lower ranks.
As humans we are no better form of life, but due to our cleverness we made our way up the food chain and used the 'extra time' we gained by our efficiency to civilize ourselfs to a certain degree. By this 'civilization' we lost our direct connection to our origin, which caused us to become arrogant by 'superior' thinking.
We lost our respect for the animals we keep for our food, as we reduce them to their purpose in our behalf and do not value their purpose in the whole picture. How many of us are still really greatful on thanksgiving and to its original idea? Probably just a view and for all others it is just another holiday and a day off.
If we could regain respect to 'mother nature', we would compensate for some of the downsides of our civilisation. By this farming animals could become more respectful again to the 'beings' and therefore less in 'profit maximisation'.
Nov 29 2012: Interesting that you would bring up Thanksgiving as my mindset immediately went to the Native Americans who inhabited North America pre-colonialization. The had a great respect for the earth and her beings ad only took what they needed to survive, not wasting a scrap of any animal that they harvested in order to survive. If our society was less wasteful it would, therefore, be more profit oriented in that nothing is excluded as potential profit.
Our aptitude and clever nature does make us innately "better" (I prefer more advanced) than our animal counterparts, but, as such, we should have the presence of thought to give respect to creatures beneath us in due process.
Nov 29 2012: I abolutely agree with your conclusion and I think it is no coincidence that Native Americans struggled immensely with our mindset - besides being dominated. Almost everywhere this 'western ideology' destroyed and blinded regional traditions or got banned only temporarily like it was in China.
I wonder if we could make our 'peace' again with this planet by using our technological knowledge wisely. Yet so far 'wisdom' is no discipline taught at our schools and universities and our genaration has not much to 'hand over' to the ones following us. I think we have developed way to fast and at this pace our 'respect' just could not keep up with us anymore. Time will show if we are that 'more advanced' to rightly claim and name ourselfs 'Homo sapiens' - 'the wise man' ...
Nov 30 2012: Lejan, "... I think it is no coincidence that Native Americans struggled immensely with our mindset ... "
My only concern with this is the past tense. Many Native Americans still struggle to understand the Euro-American mindset. IMO, this is a good thing. I just wish we could all maintain a cooperative attitude in our mutual struggle to understand each other. Unfortunately, many "whites" are still intolerant of Natives.
By the way, human hubris may be worse than you think. The species name for modern humans is Homo sapiens sapiens. Every time I think of it, I laugh.
Nov 30 2012: @ Barry Palmer
Thank you for correcting me! You are absolutely right and I should not have used the past tense!
I also agree with your opinion, as one of the only ways to reflect my own lifestyle is to see myself through the eyes of those who managed to be less influenced by our Euro-American mindset.
Much of the wisdom of Native Americans and other native tribes to me is exemplary and reminds me on the true values of our existence, which 'we' traded many centuries ago.
If 'Homo sapiens sapiens' is what modern humans are named today, there must be an mathematical exception then that + and + is not always positive in its result. So we laugh together. :o)
Nov 29 2012: Humans are indeed superior; however we are creatures of habit and not efficiency. I do not believe our superior nature means we have to be callous toward other life forms, but I think that our role on earth has in many ways helped to shape the earth in a positive way. We are stepping into a new age of science and development where we can rebuild what we have lost and replenish what we have taken. As a superior life form we bear the responsibility of maintaining nature and if we need tilting the odds in favor of species we need to survive.

XmodemOriginally developed in 1977 by Ward Christensen, Xmodem is one of the most popular file-transfer protocols. Although Xmodem is a relatively simple protocol, it is fairly effective at detecting errors. It works by sending blocks of data together with a checksum and then waiting for acknowledgment of the block's receipt. The waiting slows down the rate of data transmission considerably, but it ensures accurate transmission.
Xmodem can be implemented either in software or in hardware. Many modems, and almost all communications software packages, support Xmodem. However, it is useful only at relatively slow data transmission speeds (less than 4,800 bps).
Enhanced versions of Xmodem that work at higher transmission speeds are known as Ymodem and Zmodem.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- We can talk here, right? Just the two of us? University of Louisville women's basketball coach Jeff Walz has been known to pick up a bar tab now and then.But he's never picked one up for as big a room as he'll have tonight at the KFC Yum! Center. The first round is on Walz when his U of L women play LSU in the semifinals of the Women's NIT. He's buying first 2,500 beers for adults in attendance at the Thirsty Thursday promotion, with Budweiser products selling for $2 each.His bigger concern, however, is getting his team to the next round.LSU is women's basketball old money. It went to five straight Final Fours in the 2000s.U of L, of course, is the party-crasher program. Walz took the Cardinals to their second NCAA title game appearance last season, knocking off Baylor, Tennessee and Cal in the process.But the Cards aren't likely to sneak up on anyone this season. They're ranked No. 4 in the nation, and have averaged 100.5 points in their first two regular-season games.Seven U of L players are averaging in double-figures, led by Sara Hammond at 15.5 points per game and Jude Schimmel at 13.5.One of the seven not in double figures is preseason All-American Schoni Schimmel, but Walz has been pleased with her play nonetheless. In a 100-81 win over Quinnipiac, Walz praised Schimmel for her overall game."She has grown up," Walz said. "Besides not being able to buy a bucket tonight, she gets 11 assists, four turnovers, and two of those turnovers came on one possession. She threw it got it stolen, stole it back, and then turned it over. So of the four turnovers, she had two in one possession. I was really pleased at how she continued to play and didn't let her shooting didn't affect the rest of it."While the Cards have been scoring, Walz is not happy with his team's defense. He said he hopes his players realize the upgrade in competition they'll face against LSU. The Tigers are being led by DaShawn Harden, a 5-9 junior college transfer, at 19.5 points per game, with both Theresa Plaisance, a 6-5 senior, and sophomore guard Danielle Ballard averaging better than 15 per game."They're a top 15 basketball team," Walz said. "I'm expecting a basketball team to come in here that's trying to get to the finals of the WNIT. Same thing that we're trying to do. But our kids need to be prepared. They are very talented. They've got some great post players, some great guards, play extremely quick and if we're not willing to get down and contain the basketball they are going to score a bunch. They're going to defensively give us some problems because they guard well. I don't think we're going to be able to drop 100 (points) on them so we're going to have to figure it out in a hurry, that we have to guard somebody."". . . I am more disappointed in our mental approach right now, because honestly it is like a football team that comes out here and puts points on the board like an old fashioned shootout. It is when you don't have a good defense and you put all your eggs in the offense. Right now that is what we are doing. We don't care if the other team scores or misses. We just want the ball back. We are going to run down and say hey we can make a three and you can't. Well, it is not going to work that way when we play the LSU's of the world. You just don't outscore people."As for buying a round for the crowd, Walz said, "We're just trying to have a little bit of a good time."Whatever happens in the game, Walz is buying. Fans with proper ID can pick up a voucher for one drink when they arrive at the game, as long as supplies last."It's a little way to say thanks to all our adults who come and support us," Walz said. "And we're just trying to get some of our fans who haven't come out to come out one time and get a drink and enjoy the ballgame and hopefully grab the attention of a few more. . . . Make sure you have a designated driver if you want to come and have a few of them."Tickets for the game have been discounted from $10 to $6. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.Copyright 2013 WDRB News.

U Is for Undertowby Sue Grafton
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It's April 1988, a month before Kinsey Millhone's thirty-eighth birthday, and she's alone in her office catching up on paperwork when a young man arrives unannounced. Michael Sutton is twenty-seven, an unemployed college dropout. More than two decades ago, a four-year-old girl disappeared, and a recent newspaper story about her kidnapping has triggered a flood of memories. Sutton now believes he stumbled on her lonely burial and could identify the killers if he saw them again. He wants Kinsey's help in locating the grave and finding the men. It's way more than a long shot, but he's persistent and willing to pay cash up front. Reluctantly, Kinsey agrees to give him one day of her time.
But it isn't long before she discovers Sutton has an uneasy relationship with the truth. In essence, he's the boy who cried wolf. Is his story true, or simply one more in a long line of fabrications?
Moving effortlessly between the 1980s and the 1960s, and changing points of view as Kinsey pursues witnesses whose accounts often clash. Gradually, listeners come to see how everything connects in this twisting, complex, surprise-filled thriller. And as always, at the beating heart of her fiction is Kinsey Millhone, a sharp-tongued, observant loner who never forgets that under the thin veneer of civility is a roiling dark side to the soul.
In 1960s Santa Teresa, California, a child is kidnapped and never returned . . . When the case is reopened after twenty years, a man - Michael Sutton - contacts private detective Kinsey Millhone for help. He claims to have recalled a strange and disturbing memory which just might provide the key to the mystery. He may have stumbled across the kidnappers burying Mary Claire Fitzhugh's body . . . But Michael's account is indistinct -he was only six years old at the time of the kidnapping; and even members of his family try to discredit his evidence. But Kinsey is certain there is something vital within Michael's recollections. And even when what is eventually unearthed isn't what anyone expected, she can't quite let go of the case. As Kinsey gradually brings to light the stories of the protagonists involved in the tragedy, from Country Club parents to their free-living, hippy children, the truth finally begins to emerge. And while stepping back into the past, Kinsey discovers more about her own history too . . .

Arizona is home to its share of reptiles. But Saturday about 10:30 p.m. one west Valley family found a critter on their doorstep that ain't from around these parts. It was a 2-foot alligator!
Nick Burge with the Arizona Herpetological Association was called to remove the animal.
"It wasn't like an episode of the Crocodile Hunter or anything. But it is kind of unusual. It was a first for me," Burge said.
No one knows how long the little gator was lost wandering the neighborhood near 75th Avenue and Camelback Road.
"All he was doing was sitting there in the corner, in the dark, under a bush. We believe he had been in the grass looking for the sprinkler that had just been on. He was very dehydrated," said Burge.
The capture didn't take long.
"We took a small towel and gently placed it over the mouth after he ran around for a few minutes," said Burge.
On Sunday the alligator was turned over to the Arizona Herpetological Society. Daniel Marchand who is the curator at the facility told CBS 5 News it's a good thing he was found.
"They shouldn't exist here but they can exist here. These guys can survive in extreme heat and extreme cold. This animal turned loose in our desert would survive and grow full size with no problem," said Marchand.
It is illegal to have a pet alligator in the State of Arizona. The alligator has had too much interaction with people to be released back into the wild. For now it will be kept at the Phoenix Herpetological Society and later be a part of education programs.

Signs of Mental Illness in Adults
The signs of mental illness in adults are not always easy to detect. Many symptoms of emotional and mental disorders are pretty obvious and can be spotted by just about anyone. However, there are a number of signs of mental illness in adults that are extremely subtle. They are so hard to identify that it requires the assistance of a trained mental healthcare professional. Whether it is you that is potentially suffering from a disorder or a loved one, it is always recommended to seek professional help as soon as possible. Lots of people go through this process and find that the scariness-factor is reduced drastically once they seek help.
Signs of Mental Illness in Adults: Obvious Symptoms
There are several symptoms and signs of mental illness in adults that are quite obvious and are the most common stereotypes of disorders of the mind. Some of the symptoms of mental disease include hearing voices or sounds that don't exist, seeing people or things that aren't really there, confusion or paranoia, extreme anxiety, talk of suicide, blatant lying, drastic changes in mood or demeanor, and self inflicted harm. It is when we see these actions that we are alerted that the person exhibiting these actions may have a problem that needs to be addressed.
Signs of Mental Illness in Adults: Subtle Symptoms
Unfortunately, there are other things that can be the key determinant of a positive or negative diagnosis of mental illness. Did you know that if someone is uncharacteristically, over-the-top happy for a few days a year that it could be a sign of Bipolar disorder? The person could be experiencing a hypomania episode in which they are in the "high" part of bipolar disorder. It is signs of mental illness in adults such as this that require a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist to perform a proper evaluation. A proper mental illness test needs to be conducted on whomever is suspected of exhibiting symptoms.
Prognosis and treatment of mental disease are usually much less scary than what is expected. Once you experience signs of mental illness in adults, it is in your best interest to receive treatment right away. Most diseases of the mind can be controlled and maintained successfully with modern technology and medication. Depending on your diagnosis, you may be prescribed mood stabilizers, anti psychotics, anti depressants, anti anxiety medication, or other options to help control your symptoms. It is also very likely that an adult with a mental issue will need to visit a psychologist or psychiatrist for regular therapy sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, a kind of talk therapy, is very common and can greatly reduce the severity of symptoms.
It can be very easy to identify someone who is suffering from an emotional disorder. It can be extremely difficult as well. If you, or someone you know, may be experiencing signs of mental illness in adults, please find help immediately. The only way to not get better at all is to do nothing about the problem. There is enough knowledge about the signs of mental illness in adults that a proper plan of treatment can be found for anyone.

The Black Death Plague Doctor:
A plague doctor was a special medical physician who saw those who had the Bubonic Plague. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, some doctors wore a beak-like mask which was filled with aromatic items. The masks were designed to protect them from putrid air, which (according to the miasmatic theory of disease) was seen as the cause of infection. The protective suit consisted of a heavy fabric overcoat that was waxed. A wooden cane pointer was used to help examine the patient without touching.

Convertible debt and a discreet amount of bank credit are available to entrepreneurs seeking substantial loan financing for early-stage ventures, says a company founder turned private investor.
It's easy for an entrepreneur to kill any chance of raising money for his or her venture. Just fall into the trap of arguing one of the three great myths of business detailed in this article.
Owners of growing companies need to begin positioning them for sale early in the life of the firm and continue to take steps toward sale throughout the business's life, writes an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. Included are eight suggestions for doing just that.
Angel financing - or funding from individuals with the time and money to invest in early-stage companies - is more accessible thanks to the gathering of such investors into networks, writes an erstwhile entrepreneur turned angel investor. The process is still arduous, but the author offers tips for easing the way.
There is no doubt that it is a nearly impossible time for entrepreneurs to raise venture capital. Only the best of the best new companies are attracting such funding, according to the author. Entrepreneurs need to prepare themselves when approaching venture capitalists. Increasingly, several must have factors have become an essential part of the necessary preparation.
Young entrepreneurs with few contacts need to get real about raising money in a tough economy, and pursue avenues such as their own bank accounts, loans from parents and credit cards, writes the author. Another tactic is keeping costs low so that you need less money in the first place.
Entrepreneurs must identify ways to exit a business at the onset, which enables efforts to be directed to a goal, writes the builder of two companies. The author, now a venture capitalist, outlines four steps for doing so.
Finding venture capital is a matter of securing the right fit between founder and funder, writes the author. Affinity with a investor helps, such as pursuing groups that finance the type of company that yours is, such as a minority- or female-led firm; also necessary is a plan outlining your company's financial prospects and a pitch for convincing investors that you can execute, the author notes.
Venture capital firms consider key variables in your business plan before committing capital to the project. Prepare your management team to answer the questions discussed here. This article also explains the securities and documents that result from venture capital negotiations.
The legal documents included in a Private Placement Memorandum give potential investors necessary information about your company, the terms of the securities being offered and the risks of buying and holding them. Here's how to put it together.

Mac D's Weekend Movie Guide (5/25/12)
Memorial Day weekend is a great time for me to catch up on movies. I hear In Time calling my name. This week wacky seniors in love, Will Smith returns in a suit, and the Tuskegee Airmen fly again.
These Are the Movies That Will Be Released on Friday May 25th, 2012
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – Rated PG-13
That says Exotic not Erotic. Seven British retirees travel to India with hopes of a cheaper retirement but that isn't going to happen. This romantic comedy stars Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, and that kid from Slumdog Millionaire. The Brits know how to make a romantic comedy and this cast has two Dames so I am interested.
Verdict – This cast is strong. It might not make waves but should be entertaining.
Men in Black 3 – Rated PG-13
Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith return to fight aliens. This time K is wiped from existence so J has to travel back in time to save him with help from a younger K (Josh Brolin). All major players (minus the writer) return for this third installment. I enjoyed MIB and MIB 2. I thought the humor was dumb in a bad way for 2 but I still really enjoyed it. Will Smith is a great comedic actor and Tommy Lee Jones being the straight man is equally good. Let's hope Josh Brolin can keep up. I predict MIB3 will take down The Avengers at the box office.
Verdict – I need to see this NOW! Anyone want to go?
Chernobyl Diaries – Rated R
Six young people venture in to the Chernobyl area and find presumably zombies or mutants. This is from the guy behind Paranormal Activity Oren Peli. I think the documentary style will fit here as it will create more tension and terror. I worry about more adult horror films coming out in the summer but some studio guy thinks this is good enough to compete.
Verdict – While MIB 3 is my first choice this is my second. It look scary enough to want to see..
Box Office Top 5 Movies In The Country
1. The Avengers - Rated PG-13
2. Battleship – Rated PG-13
3. The Dictator – Rated R
4. Dark Shadows - Rated PG-13
5. What to Expect When You're Expecting – Rated PG-13
YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP! Battleship was made for over $200 million and only made $25 in the opening weekend. It bombed. How bad did it bomb? Hasbro as delayed G.I. Joe Retaliation until 2013. They say it is due to wanting to add 3D. I believe it's they want to separate any properties from Battleship. The Avengers just keeps on making money. 2nd best 3rd weekend ever behind Avatar, fastest to $450 Million, and currently sits 5th in all time domestic grosses behind Star Wars Episode I, The Dark Knight, Titanic, and Avatar. I believe it will surprise The Dark Knight before all is said and done. BRING DARK KNIGHT RISES.
Still In Theatres
Chimpanzee - Rated G, The Five-Year Engagement - Rated R, The Hunger Games – Rated PG-13, The Lucky One – Rated PG-13, The Pirates! Band Of Misfits- Rated PG, Think Like A Man – Rated PG-13
These are the movies released on DVD Tuesday May 22nd, 2012.
This Means War – Rated PG-13
Tom Hardy and Chris Pine are CIA Spies that fight over Reese Whitherspoon. The cast sounded good however they all just seemed to go through the motions.
Red Tails – Rated PG-13
George Lucas helped bring this new film about the Tuskegee Airmen to life. The action sequences are worth the price of admission.
Next Week Sam Worthington is on a ledge, a fun horror movie IN 3D, and another Snow White movie this time with Thor.

Frustration over Haigh School rises for Salem parents
Voters at the March 12 polls rejected Article 3, which asked for $805,237 towards heating, ventilation and air conditioning improvements at Haigh School, but embraced Article 2, a $16.2 million bond article that included minor renovations at Haigh School and more major renovations at Fisk and Soule schools.
In 2012, a $21.5 million bond to renovate those three schools was rejected by voters, though the other elementary schools in the district had already undergone renovations similar to the ones being proposed.
Several board members defended their decision to offer two separate warrants, with Peter Morgan telling parents he believed that Article 2 passed "because the HVAC improvements were separate."
"The decisions we've made up until now have been the hardest ones we've ever made," board member Patricia Corbett said.
Superintendent Michael Delahanty assured parents that Haigh School hasn't been forgotten, but added that it might not be open forever.
"This is as viable and important a school as any other school in our district," Delahanty said. "We're interested in maintaining its quality right now."
The superintendent added that the school could close "at some point down the road" for economic reasons, but that's not part of the immediate plan.
According to board member Bernard Campbell Jr., Haigh School would open again this fall and "there is no date certain that an action to close this school will occur."
However, school officials agreed that enrollment levels are declining, in general, and recent studies indicate the trend will continue.
Campbell said if a decision to close Haigh School is made, it would still be "at least 15 months after that" before the school would close.
Meanwhile, parents continue to take issue with the fact that other district schools are being renovated, while Haigh School languishes.
"I need you to show my little girl and my boys that you love Haigh," parent Joseph Brito told the board. "You say it, but I don't see it."

"Willie," asked the teacher, "how many days are there in a year?" "Three hundred and aiity-flve and a-fourth," promptly answered Willie. "How can there he a fourth of a day?" asked the teacher. "Why," replied Willie, "thafg the Fourth of July." A little boy was very anxious to have his uncle give him a little Jersey calf. The "uncle said: "Johnnie, when you want enytlhng very much you should pray for- it," ."Well," said the little fellow, "do you helieve, untile, that God would give me a calf if I should pray for one?" "Why, of course," said the good uncle. "WeH, uncle/' said the hoy, "give me this calf and you pray for the other calf." "■Well, my child," said a strict parent »to his little daughter, on returhng " from church, "what do you remember of all the preacher said?" "Nothing," was the timid reply. "Nothing?" said he, gravely. "Now, remember, the next time yQu go to church you must tell me something he says or you'll have to stay indoors and study your catechism." Next Sunday the little girl came home all excitement, "I remember something, papa," said she. "Well, what did the « preacher say?" "He said," she cried, delightfully, " 'Now a collection will be taken up-!' " Ethel is small, but extremely sober- minded, and therefore to be trusted to run on household errands.

"I'd rather get a pint, mamma," she answered. "'"Why, Ethel, dear?" exclaimed her astonished parent. "I need, a quart, which you must get." Again the little girl .pa,used.

By the census quite enough is known to convey a true and startling idea of what the Russian empire actually is and what i\ is' -capable of beconjinij under norrnalljr sanitary *Ggnd.'ir*qnsJ says the fjpi-jtempqrary 'Review- *j?^e natural increase Qf the population is kept down to a relatively low figure by an abnormally large death rate, which is mainly due to avoidable causes. Infectious diseases and insufficiency of medical help are among the most obvious. A. few years ago I remember being struck with the extraordinary data furnished by the Russian medical department on this subject. It was there stated, for instance, that in the Caucasus there was but one hospital for 309,000 persons and one bed for 12,000. In no country in the world are infectious diseases so f recently mortal as in Russia. Children especially suffer and diphtheria, measles, scarlatina, smallpox, etc., literally decimate villages and country towns. It has been stated by the statistician Ekk, with* the help of the official figures, that about 1,900,000 persons, chiefly children,"die every year who might, with a li'tltle care, be preserved to tlie empire. The difference which this loss makes to the population in fifty years is enpr.mpus,. M. Eklc calculated that Russia loses, in conscgiisnce of insanifai-y condition, per 1,Q0Q deaths, nine persons, more than, Germany, twelve more than France, fifteen more than England, eighteen more than Sweden and Denmark and nineteen more than Norway. But the losses of a community like Russia are not merely commensurate with the number of deaths from whatever causes. A very important item in the total is furnished hy the number of cripples and adults whom accident or diseases has unfitted for work. And in this respect, too, Russia not only heads the melancholy list, but leaves all other countries far behind. In tbe fifty governments of European Russia, for example, there are twenty-one blind persons for every 10,000 of the population—that is to say, five, times more than jn^Holland, four times more than in ^.ustria or the . United States, and. three times more than in Denmark, S-ponj* or. Switzerland. Doubtless all thjs will he grad* ually changed fpr. t^e better—is, in fact, nffs*? being slowly, improved. But even as things nqw ape, the population of the empire, at the present rate of increase, will "n twenty years—which is a very short period in the history of .peoples—reach the total at 175,- 000,000, Real Estate For Sale.

DETROIT, Sept. 20 (UPI) — Local United Auto Workers presidents in Detroit approved a contract proposal from General Motors, sending it to a vote among 48,500 rank-and-file workers.
More details on the contract emerged Tuesday as UAW President Bob King briefed local presidents on the proposal, The Detroit News reported.
If ratified, the contract commits GM to a $2.5 billion investment that will create or salvage 6,400 jobs through the life of the four-year deal.
The contract also creates a guarantee of $12,500 in bonus pay to UAW workers over the next four years, the News said.
"One of our main objectives is jobs, and I think we met that objective," said UAW Vice President for GM Joe Aston.
The proposal fails to restore a cost-of-living increase or any other increase in base pay for experienced workers, called tier one workers.
Four years ago, the UAW agreed to split base pay into two groups. Tier one workers were established on the payroll, whereas tier two workers, who would be paid about half the rate of the first group, would be comprised of new workers.
King said before the contract negotiations began one of the goals was to close the gap between the two pay groups.
The proposal includes increasing entry level pay from $14-$16 to $19.28 by the end of the four-year deal.
The contract also spells out plans for plant activation. In the deal, GM has agreed to reopen a factory in Spring Hill, Tenn., where the retired Saturn brand was produced.
The plan calls for bringing the plant back to life in two stages, first by adding 500 workers to produce a midsized vehicle and turning out a second midsized car by 2014.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Monday, August 1, 2011
Some call it a personal mission statement, I prefer something a little less business-like, something more meaningful, playful, and so I've adopted the term, "Life Motto" to describe what I stand for.
My life motto guides how I feel (sometimes how I should feel), how I treat others and how I want leave a legacy.
I've never been a religious type, I remember going to Sunday School when I was really really little, but I think it was a way for my parents to have a little free time on the weekends to themselves – I think our neighbors or a family friend took us to church. I believe in God and Buddha (they are good friends and sometimes tag-team), I believe in the beauty of life, but most of all, I believe in myself and teach my kids the same.
The "believe in myself" thing was really difficult to to manage at first, as some days "myself" woke up in a bad mood or "myself' got pissed off at something and couldn't shake it off (you've had those days too, right?!)
My life motto centers me and waves *hello* during the times I'm a little lost, off kilter or just acting plain stupid.
Yep, that's my life motto. I live for creating magical moments for myself, my family, my friends and total strangers. I'm always looking for ways to create fun, create experiences that people will remember for ever 'n ever.
I promise I'll dedicate a post about how to realize your life motto (it's quite simple, really….and so fun as it involves making art!) – this post is about the magical moments that we all had the past few days when Brooke of Cheeky Kitchen and her family of 6 drove 3 days from Colorado to come visit us!
We played, swam, fished, bonfired, beached, boated, dined and talked nonstop.
I caught a fish ——> T H I S <—— big!
As you can see from the pics, the Steamy Kitchen house-style is suimsuit + rain boots, so that when it gets too hot, you just jump in!
Yum…those tiny blue gills are so sweet!
One night, the kids wore glowsticks, swam in the pool (have you ever done that!?? It's so fun!) and then we had a bonfire. Of course we made s'mores! Truly magical.
A trip to Florida wouldn't be complete without playing at the beach! The kids swam, boogie-boarded, collected shells and itsy bitsy live clams (smaller than the size of your pinky fingernail) and made a dolphin sand-sculpture.
Another night, we launched a blow-up boat raft that we only blew up half-way – the air compressor thingy we had took forever to re-charge and blow air.
Andrew, Nathan and Jacob were the brave boys to go first (Actually….*I* took the maiden voyage, but photos of that, if they even exist, are censored — basically I pushed the raft out a bit, leapt and dove in the boat. Legs flailing, butt sticking up and arms trying to paddle. So censored.)
The pics are blurry – it was about 10pm at night, pitch black – camera was set to the highest ISO like 50,000000 to be able to capture these pics)
How many can fit in this half-inflated raft?
WAIT! Wait for me!!!
OH NO you aren't coming in! Hurry, let's escape!
Silly, silly, silly.
Pooped. All of them, including Coco.
Nathan didn't want Ms. Brooke to go.
I didn't want them to go….
Goodbye's are so hard….
Have a safe journey home….
I can't wait for their next visit….I'm already daydreaming of magical moments we'll create together.
I love this, Jaden! So sweet. All the smiles are gorgeous!
What a gorgeous and lovely pictorial! Looks like a fun kick-back visit and the closing 3 photos are so bittersweet.
This post was so perfect and inspiring, Jaden!
"I believe in myself" is so hard to manage sometimes, but it's almost comforting to know that someone as successful as you feels that way also!
Memories nurture the soul in a unique way that "things" cannot. Memories are truly special.
You look like you guys had a great time!!
Nothing can compete with the magic of beautiful memories made. These pictures will be an additional prompt to relive some of those magical moments.
Jaden! Life Motto success! There were so many millions of magical moments during our stay, I can hardly keep track of them all, and wish I could have bottled them and brough them home. Mason jars of memories preserved.
Thank you to your and your sweet Scott. Every moment was a pleasure and a treat. We adore you and can't wait for next time. Let's make sure Mike Dooley is there!
I love your life motto…very inspiring! I will share this with my family and friends.
Goodbyes are hard, but just knowing there is another soul on this Earth that we will miss and that will miss us is worth everything. Cheers to creating more and more magical moments:)
Beautiful and inspiring post, Jaden!!! Such fun…you should open a camp…but for adults, not just kids. Sign me up!
So cool! There's so much to do at Jaden's and Scott's – forget about theme parks in Florida
Llove this post, Jaden!
What a sweet, beautiful post, Jaden! You ARE making magical moments for your friends and family! You have inspired me to do the same!
Such a refreshing change of post themes. Love it. As they say, friends are the family we choose. My husband and I always say, "Let's go make some memories." It's a good motivator.
Thank you, again, Jaden and Scott, for a fantastic time in Florida! Thank you for helping our children (and us) create so many wonderful, magical memories. We love you!
Jaden – the story and pictures are wonderful. I love the "realness" of all of your pictures, including your food photos. It seems like lately, all of the food photos are starting to look a little overstyle-ized (is that a word?).
Keep doing what you are doing!
that is one sweet and fun get together you all had. i don't blame nathan for them to go thanks for the "magical momemts" motto. how inspiring!
Thanks , I have recently been searching for info approximately this subject for a while and yours is the greatest I've found out so far. But, what in regards to the conclusion? Are you positive in regards to the source?

A gunshot intended for a rattlesnake led authorities to briefly lock down an elementary school in northeast Georgia.
Hall County school officials say gunfire was heard Wednesday afternoon near Mount Vernon Elementary School in the Gainesville area, leading them to lock down the school.
School district spokesman Gordon Higgins said law officers determined that the shots came from a resident next to the school who was shooting a rattlesnake on his property.
The Times of Gainesville reports (http://bit.ly/13NQRLs) that the school was locked down for about 10 minutes before sheriff's officials determined the source of the gunfire.
Hall County sheriff's Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks said there's no indication that the shots were fired toward the school. He said the incident was still under investigation.
