Complementary Therapies and HIV
February 2013
Table of Contents
Decisions about your health care are important -- including deciding what types of therapy to use. Most health care providers will agree that using complementary (also called alternative) therapies with standard medicines can help people living with HIV (HIV+) live longer, healthier lives. Complementary therapies refer to a series of health care treatments that are most often not considered to be part of conventional (Western) medicine. These types of treatments can include acupuncture, aromatherapy, biofeedback, homeopathy, hypnosis, massage therapy, mind-body techniques, and nutritional supplements.
An important note: while it is important for everyone to tell their health care providers about any and all complementary or alternative practices they use, it is especially important for people living with HIV. Since HIV and the drugs used to treat HIV affect the immune system, we recommend talking to your health care provider about any complementary treatments before you use them. This gives your provider a full picture of what you do to manage your health and makes sure the treatments you choose are safe and helpful for you.
What Are Some Common Complementary Therapies?
Acupuncture is a practice developed in China several thousand years ago. It involves the use of small thin metal needles that are inserted in the skin at particular points on the body. By activating these specific points, acupuncturists look to remove blockages in the flow of one's life force or vital energy, called qi (pronounced "chee"). In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), energy or qi is believed to circulate through the body. Proper circulation or flow of qi promotes health and well-being. Acupressure uses finger-pressure rather than needles to stimulate healing points on the body and achieve proper flow of qi.
There are now many studies that demonstrate the potential benefits of acupuncture. A partial list of conditions for which acupuncture can be helpful includes: pain, headache, nausea, diarrhea, menstrual cramps, and menopausal symptoms. Many states require acupuncturists to be licensed (L.Ac), and an increasing number of insurance plans cover acupuncture. You can find a licensed acupuncturist through the organization that grants the licenses: the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Be sure your acupuncturist uses only disposable, sterile needles.
Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils to improve emotional or physical health. These oils are inhaled or rubbed into the skin, and are generally used to reduce pain, improve mood, and promote relaxation. There is not strong evidence to support the immune-boosting effects of aromatherapy. However, tea tree oil has a demonstrated anti-microbial effect. Any use of essential oils should be discussed with your health care provider.
Biofeedback is a technique that trains people to control some of the body's operations that usually occur without our having to think about them, such as breathing rate, heart rate, or blood pressure. By being connected to devices that measure these actions and watching these measurements (e.g., heart rate) on a monitor, people can affect the inner workings of their bodies and gain some control over the body's "involuntary" actions. Biofeedback is most often used to help people with headaches and pain.
Homeopathy aims to activate the body's own healing abilities by giving small doses of very diluted substances. It is based on the idea that "like cures like," or the Law of Similars. This law suggests that diseases can be cured by small amounts of substances that cause similar symptoms in healthy people. Homeopathic remedies are made from small amounts of a variety of plants, minerals, and animal products that are crushed and dissolved in liquid. By adding more and more liquid to the original mixture, the remedy -- a homeopathic 'tincture' -- is diluted.
The results of scientific studies of homeopathy are mixed. Some studies show homeopathy's benefits, while others do not show any difference between homeopathic treatment and placebo (no treatment). People most often use homeopathy to treat allergies, asthma, ear infections, digestive disorders, headaches, and menopausal symptoms. Because homeopathic remedies can include substances that affect your immune system, remember to talk to your health care provider before using them.
During hypnosis, or hypnotherapy, a trained therapist uses techniques to help you become deeply relaxed and enter a different state of consciousness called a trance. In a trance, your body relaxes while your mind becomes more focused. The hypnotherapist does not control your mind or your actions. Rather, you become very open to suggestion, such as the suggestion to quit smoking. The therapist makes suggestions for changing behaviors or relieving symptoms that are specific to your situation.
Hypnosis can help you relax, reduce stress, relieve anxiety, and ease pain. It is often used before surgical or dental procedures when someone is especially nervous. Hypnotherapy is also used to treat eating disorders, addictions, phobias, insomnia, and digestive problems.
Massage Therapy
Massage involves a trained therapist using her or his hands to physically handle the body's soft tissues and muscles. There are a variety of massage styles ranging from soft stroking to deep muscle kneading. Massage has been practiced as a healing therapy for centuries around the world. Massage therapy affects the whole body, and can relieve muscle tightness, improve circulation, clear waste products, boost the immune system, reduce stress, and help you relax.
Massage therapists become certified after completing their training and passing an exam. Many states recognize the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB; www.ncbtmb.org). You can also find massage therapists in your area by going to the website for the American Massage Therapy Association (www.amtamassage.org/index.html).
Since massage involves direct contact between the therapist's hands and your skin, you will be asked to undress when the therapist leaves the room. Professional therapists should provide plenty of sheets and blankets with which to cover yourself on the massage table. If you feel uncomfortable for any reason, do not hesitate to talk to the therapist or find a different therapist.
It is important for women who are pregnant to be cautious about receiving massages. If you are pregnant and want a massage, make sure you find a massage therapist who is specially trained to massage pregnant women.

Harriet Hull (Dr. Terry) Smith, M.D., 87, formerly of Pasadena, CA, died peacefully on February 21, 2007, at her home in Alamitos Bay, surrounded by her large and loving family. Terry had a very full life. Practicing medicine with her husband together at the helm of a small psychiatric hospital and raising five kids on the grounds kept her fulfilled until her husband's death in 1983, when she moved to the family's beach house on Alamitos Bay and became active in many community and cultural organizations.
She loved reading, particularly histories, music, the theater, travel and watching the wildlife in the bay, especially her beloved shorebirds. When visiting her "eastern" daughters, Alexandra Maclay of Warren, VT, and Vance Smith of Brookfield, VT, she reveled in the green summers and colorful falls, which reminded her of her small-town upbringing in upstate New York. She enjoyed the opera at the Pitcher Inn, cheering at baseball and soccer games for her grandchildren Schuyler and Thayer, feeding India, Estelle and Rosie, and watching the antics of Pepper and Freddie.
Later, in July 2007, her children will scatter her ashes inside the Long Beach breakwater to join those of her husband. A memorial service and celebration of the life of this great lady will follow on the beach in front of her house. She was a lady in the finest sense of the word, full of compassion and charm, grace and dignity. She will be sorely missed by her family, her friends, and her birds.
Donations in her memory may be made to the Wetlands Wildlife Center, Sharon Weeks, Director, 21900 Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA 92646. (714) 374-5587.

"I made some comments in the initial personalizing interface online- I said that I wanted help with formatting, changing font colors, and adding text to the back of the program. The person who made my proofs called me directly to verify my wishes. She also made some stylistic changes and edits like suggesting a darker font color for readability. Excellent customer service and I am so pleased with the result."
"I was able to personalize my program with my wedding colors -- pewter and emerald. They were very accomodating in special requests and helped rearrange the layout several times. Quick response time and completion for a beautiful product."

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Broke Straight Boys
These boys are very hot and very straight but most of all they are broke. Rather then lose their apartment, girlfriend, etc. they do sexual things with other guys for some quick cash.
Anthony and Jacob come back for another hot encounter and this time they get a taste of each other's dicks. After an initial bout with nervousness I think you'll agree that these boys' cocks belong in each others mouths.

There are a few other Instructables showing you how to do this, but none are used with vista. So, being very confused at the time, I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, I figured it out, and decided to create an Instructable on how to do it.
To do this, you will need:
- An Xbox 360
- A laptop (Vista in this instructable)
- An Ethernet cord long enough to connect the 360 to the laptop
- Wireless router / Wireless internet connection
- Some essential snacks while playing with buddies online (my favorite part)
Step 1: Manage Network Connections
NOTE: Take this time to be sure the connection is good enough in your desired place, some routers are stronger than others.
Next,on Network and Sharing Center, select Manage Network Connections on the left side.
Onto the next step.
Step 2: Bridge the Network
Highlight them both, and then right click. From there, click Bridge Connections, or something like that. Give it a few minutes to bridge the connections. Once the two connections are bridged, go to the next step.
Step 3: Setup the Xbox
So what did bridging the connections do?
By creating a bridge, you connected the wireless and LAN connections together. The LAN provides a network to any computer connected to it (In this case, the Xbox), and the bridge will connect the Internet connection, and the Local Area Connection together providing internet. Easy, huh? Easy enough to not understand.
getting the same error message when trying to bridge using pdanet as my connection ...where should I focus ?
didnt work either
does this cost extra when the internet payments come pls answer!
holy crap didnt think this would actaully work but it did thanks man your a lifesaver
can anyone help me?


text: So the guy got popped once over seven years ago and suddenly he's a cheater forever. The guy is on testosterone replacement therapy. It is a legit medical procedure that is meant to help him in day to day life and not just in mixed martial arts. If a doctor prescribes it to someone who isn't a professional athlete, is that person then a bad person? no. If the doctors say it's ok and the athletic commissions say it's ok, than it's not cheating. I say get off his back and the backs of everyone else who follows doctors orders. The guy has earned his shot.

Flagg: TPS – Children first?Written by Steven Flagg | | email@example.com
The Toledo Public Schools (TPS) renewal levy presents some interesting personal challenges.
I am a strong supporter of the members of TPS' new management team and have been for several years. Interim Superintendant Romules Durant is a stand-up guy, someone I would hold up as a role model for children and adults alike. His team shares those characteristics. This group has worked to be open and transparent. They have not always succeeded but that is because of the box they are in — the TPS Board of Education.
These administrators have reached out and developed relationships with both friends and those perceived by board members as critics. They have listened, implemented suggestions and responded to concerns. If only the board would follow their lead.
The board has been and remains an embarrassment and community liability that owes its fealty not to voters, but to entrenched self-interests. They are petty grudge-keepers, incapable of working together and finding compromise. Each is more interested in future political advancement than service to the community, resulting in decisions based upon political goals instead of the interests of children and constituents. They hold the authority and thus hold the keys to the box.
Most of the reforms and cost savings in the past few years have come as pressure applied through levy failures. Savings gained from the transformation plan — whose major impetus was the change to a K-8 model — and the recent performance audit demonstrate that those of us who campaigned against new levies in the recent past were correct. Enormous cost savings have been realized and still exist.
TPS always finds a surplus to support employee raises, or a deficit appears that supports a new levy. It happened again just this summer when TPS adjusted their projections during the fact-finding process to legally justify a wage increase. Granted TPS unions made substantial concessions two years ago on wage and benefit levels agreed to in 2008. But it is now apparent that those increases were not sustainable without significant cost savings or new funds or a combination of both.
I can give you oodles of facts and figures to support these claims. Some of them can be found at www.toledofreepress.com in a posted copy of the TPS-TFT fact-finder report issued Sept. 18.
The recent performance audit identified $91 million in potential savings over five years and offered many recommendations to improve the district. However, it only opened the door to needed changes. The report never addressed changes in instructional delivery, technology in the classroom, classroom management and other areas that would improve overall student academic outcomes. It is far from a perfect document.
Nonetheless, it identified savings totaling about $5 million that could be redirected toward effective programs that are at risk even if the renewal levy passes because federal grants funding the programs are expiring.
Both the Toledo Federation of Teachers (TFT) and the Toledo Association of Administrative Personnel (TAAP) have vehemently criticized the report. A large majority of projected savings must be negotiated with these two unions.
Two of the leading candidates to fill three board seats up for grabs in November are backed by the TFT and do not support the audit recommendations. One sitting board member is heavily dependent upon TFT support. The audit could easily be dismissed in January if candidates beholden to entrenched self-interests win election in November.
Based upon TPS' own projections, a new levy is not necessary for two years. Two seats on the board will open in two years. Consequently, if the levy passes in November, the community has no leverage for two years — except for public pressure — to put the process back on track. The recently announced audit "advisory" board could easily be dismantled and the process ended.
The board and its TFT handlers hold all the cards for two years. They will bank on a short public memory and be back in two years or less asking for new money despite their failure to realize the savings available.
Do I vote to support the management team? Or do I vote to force the hand of the board? Either way it is easy to see how our children don't come first.

- hemolysis (2) (remove)
- Biological activities of ethanolic extracts from deep-sea antarctic marine sponges (2013)
- We report on the screening of ethanolic extracts from 33 deep-sea Antarctic marine sponges for different biological activities. We monitored hemolysis, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, cytotoxicity towards normal and transformed cells and growth inhibition of laboratory, commensal and clinically and ecologically relevant bacteria. The most prominent activities were associated with the extracts from sponges belonging to the genus Latrunculia, which show all of these activities. While most of these activities are associated to already known secondary metabolites, the extremely strong acetylcholinesterase inhibitory potential appears to be related to a compound unknown to date. Extracts from Tetilla leptoderma, Bathydorus cf. spinosus, Xestospongia sp., Rossella sp., Rossella cf. racovitzae and Halichondria osculum were hemolytic, with the last two also showing moderate cytotoxic potential. The antibacterial tests showed significantly greater activities of the extracts of these Antarctic sponges towards ecologically relevant bacteria from sea water and from Arctic ice. This indicates their ecological relevance for inhibition of bacterial microfouling.
- Biological activities of aqueous and organic extracts from tropical marine sponges (2010)
- We report on screening tests of 66 extracts obtained from 35 marine sponge species from the Caribbean Sea (Curaçao) and from eight species from the Great Barrier Reef (Lizard Island). Extracts were prepared in aqueous and organic solvents and were tested for hemolytic, hemagglutinating, antibacterial and anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities, as well as their ability to inhibit or activate cell protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). The most interesting activities were obtained from extracts of Ircinia felix, Pandaros acanthifolium, Topsentia ophiraphidites, Verongula rigida and Neofibularia nolitangere. Aqueous and organic extracts of I. felix and V. rigida showed strong antibacterial activity. Topsentia aqueous and some organic extracts were strongly hemolytic, as were all organic extracts from I. felix. The strongest hemolytic activity was observed in aqueous extracts from P. acanthifolium. Organic extracts of N. nolitangere and I. felix inhibited PP1. The aqueous extract from Myrmekioderma styx possessed the strongest hemagglutinating activity, whilst AChE inhibiting activity was found only in a few sponges and was generally weak, except in the methanolic extract of T. ophiraphidites.

Dinner Tonight: Hong Kong Salt Shrimp
I jumped right into this recipe from Raymond Sokolov's The Cook's Canon as soon as I saw the ingredients. I am an absolute nut for Sichuan peppercorns, and while it's apparently a common combination, the mixture of it with Chinese five-spice powder and shrimp sounded remarkable. I'd heard of black pepper shrimp, but this seemed to take the notion one delicious step further. More

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
On a beautiful section of Poipu Beach with sprawling grounds, three restaurants, barbecue grills, and golf, tennis, and soccer facilities, Castle Kiahuna has enormous condos with full kitchens, but inconsistent decor and amenities.
A huge resort in a town full of huge resorts, Kauai's Kiahuna Plantation spreads three- to 18-unit bungalows across 35 acres of manicured lawns furnished with barbecue grills, a lagoon, a native Hawaiian garden, and, of course, the beach -- a long, narrow crescent of sand flanked by lava rocks, with calm waters and surfable shore breaks. Moms and dads snorkel, take surfing lessons, and max out with the kids, spending evenings at the barbecue grills, taking in sunsets, cooking in the fully furnished apartments, or watching TV.
One of the resort's drawbacks is that many of its features sit across busy Poipu Road, including its smallish pool, the tennis courts, and the indoor-outdoor "Hawaiian" soccer courts. Among the three restaurants associated with the resort, only one, the high-end Plantation Gardens, actually sits on the property. Joe's on the Green and Casablanca are across the street. At least the beautiful beach is right on property.
Castle Kiahuna shares all of its amenities with the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation; the two management companies each run a portion of these privately owned condos. Whether managed by Castle or Outrigger, rooms possess the same layout and size, but depending on the owner's diligence in renovating, a TV can be anything from a 32-inch flat-screen HDTV to a modest 23-inch tube, and design can run from island charming to island gross.
Travelers in search of more privacy may prefer the nearby 39-room Whalers Cove. The Cove's larger and more luxurious rooms all have ocean views and in-room washers and dryers. Plus, its infinity pool overlooks the ocean. The trade-offs: no restaurant on-site and a $15 daily resort fee that doesn't appear to pay for anything in particular.
Condo-style, limited DIY service
Service at Castle Kiahuna Plantation runs fairly minimal, especially compared with that at the Outrigger resort on the very same property. The front desk remains open 24 hours, but the company doesn't offer customers much beyond that. There's no room service and limited housekeeping. At check-in, the clerk draws a line from the lobby to a guest's condo, makes brief mention of the existence and location of the pool, and that's pretty much it.
In resort-heavy Poipu, on a beach shared with several resorts
The Castle Kiahuna Plantation is in Poipu, the south-shore development that's one of Kauai's biggest resort areas. The town is known for its consistently sunny weather (versus the rainy north shore), picturesque, treelined streets -- and constant construction as developers add more condominiums and hotels to these former sugarcane fields. The resort is located on Poipu Road, the town's main strip flanked by resorts on one side and the Poipu shopping mall on the other.
Shares family-friendly Kiahuna Beach with three other vacation properties
One of the most family-friendly beaches in Poipu, Kiahuna Beach sits at the foot of three resort properties: Koa Kea, Kiahuna Plantation (run by Outrigger and Castle), and Sheraton Kauai. Beachgoers, predominately resort guests, take surfing lessons, play in the sand, and snorkel in the clear water.
Large condo units; decor varies widely depending on unit
All one-bedroom apartments run 880 square feet, larger than those at other condo-style properties like the Kauai Coast and the Westin Princeville, but significantly smaller than those found at Whalers Cove. Standard-unit balconies have "garden views", which means they look on shrubs and trees or the sides of other bungalows, and feature full kitchens. Varying decor, condition, and amenities make it difficult to know what you're getting, however. To illustrate how different these rooms can be, one one-bedroom apartment boasts a 32-inch Vizio HDMI DTV flat-screen, a full stereo system, and an iPod dock. Another has a dusty, beat-up tube TV. None of the rooms have air conditioning, and a lack of glass shutters on the windows leaves rooms vulnerable to outside noise.
The Castle Kiahuna's best features draw mainly from its proximity to the Kiahuna's Golf Club and the swim and tennis club across the street, for which guests get free passes, just like at the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation. There's no spa or fitness center, however, and the only other facilities here include the on-site stretch of beach for great snorkeling, swimming and beginner's surfing, and the barbecue grills throughout the property.
Decent for families, though there's no kids' club
The main draws for families at the Kiahuna Plantation are the generously sized one- and two-bedroom condos with full kitchens and pullout sofas, the gentle on-site beach, and the pool across the street with waterslides.
Two well-regarded, 18-hole golf courses within a five-minute drive
The Castle Kiahuna offers ready access to Poipu's two golf courses, both designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Generally clean, though limited housekeeping
Grounds, facilities, and units are well-kept, but there's only one free housekeeping service midway through a seven-night stay. Otherwise, you can pay $10 for fresh towels; $25 for towels, trash emptying and bedmaking; or $45 for a full cleaning.
Three worthwhile resort restaurants: one on-site, two across the street
A 115-unit south shore condo fronting Poipu Beach with limited service and varying decor, though plenty of open space, the Castle Kiahuna offers a similar experience to Outrigger Kiahuna, which is part of the same Kaihuna Plantation; both have access to the pool, golf, and tennis across the street, but service here doesn't quite match that at the Outrigger.

The Social Weapon: Darwinism
The Result of the Darwin-Hitler Coalition 40 Million Dead
In the light of what has been revealed about Social Darwinism so far, it should be no surprise that the Nazis, infamous architects of one of the most terrible acts of genocide in history, were tightly linked to it.
When one examines the writings, speeches and documents of Hitler and other Nazi ideologues, it's clear that they founded their policies on Darwinism.
Hitler thought that he could improve human race, as animal breeders do. He claimed that those he saw as "polluting" the Aryan race, those with genetic illnesses and the weak all needed to be eliminated; and he ordered the ruthless extermination of millions—proofs that he regarded human beings as animals and was attached to Darwinism. In an article titled "The Nazi Terror," Alexander Kimel—one of the few to survive the Nazi genocide—emphasizes the link between Darwinism and Nazism and describes how it was that the Nazis, with their belief in Social Darwinism, were able to treat people like animals and feel absolutely no pity for them:
The Nazis adopted this perspective to perpetrate one of the worst acts of genocide ever. The deception of the "superior race" that Hitler maintained was based on the falsehood of inequality among groups within a particular species. According to Hitler and his supporters, while some species evolved, some individuals or groups within that species had remained backward and primitive. This perverted claim, constituting the bedrock of racism, was one fundamental element of Darwin's theory. In a book about Auschwitz, Dr. Karl A. Schleunes, a professor of history, accepts Darwinism's so-called scientific justification for racism:
Orphaned and neglected children were some of those who came in for the greatest share of Nazi cruelty.
Evolutionist scientists painted just the kind of theoretical picture the Nazis desired. For example, the evolutionist Konrad Lorenz, regarded as the founder of modern ethology (the science of animal behavior), compared the improvement of races with biological structures:
p>Just as in cancer the best treatment is to eradicate the parasitic growth as quickly as possible, the eugenic defense against the dysgenic social effects of afflicted subpopulations is of necessity… When these inferior elements are not effectively eliminated from a [healthy] population, then - just as when the cells of a malignant tumor are allowed to proliferate throughout the human body - they destroy the host body as well as themselves.86
Regarding different races or a society's poor and needy as a kind of burden to be eliminated is inexplicably primitive and barbaric. The Nazis sought to conceal their savagery behind a so-called scientific mask, citing Darwinism's deceptions. Joseph Tenenbaum, author of Race and Reich:The Story of an Epoch, summarizes how Nazi policies took shape:
After describing how the Nazis shaped their entire policies according to the lights of Darwinism, missing not a single point, Tenenbaum goes on:
Hitler at the Nuremberg rally
In the 1933 Nuremberg rally, Hitler proclaimed that "higher race subjects to itself a lower race … a right which we see in nature and which," because it was founded on science, "can be regarded as the sole conceivable right."89 By making this claim, he of course defended one of the worst falsehoods in history.
Hitler's words in his "On the Fate of the Nation" speech are a summary of Darwinist views:
An image of Germany in 1945
Hitler's perverted rantings influenced a great many at the time. Tens of thousands of the ignorant signed up to these assumptions, products of Hitler's imagination. As already emphasized, the urge for conflict or a ruthless struggle for survival does not advance societies' progress. All individuals strive for a wealthier, more pleasant life, but achieving that goal is directly proportionate to their society's attachment to spiritual and moral values. Seeking to eliminate others through endless aggression merely damages all parties. Physical or cultural differences do not make one race superior to another. On the contrary, in climates where peace and security prevail, differences are valuable elements that bring about cultural enrichment.
If these differences are to be transformed into cultural richness, religious moral values are essential. No matter what the circumstances, God has commanded people to be forgiving, never to depart from the path of justice, and to treat others with affection and compassion. Believers know that there is great wisdom in the creation of different races and nations, and therefore act in a spirit of brotherhood and solidarity. Arrogantly seeking to classify people according to the race they belong to, in the absence of any justification, is a feature of unbelievers and those who set up other deities beside God. One verse describes the unbelievers' fanatical rage:
Those who disbelieve filled their hearts with fanatical rage – the fanatical rage of the Time of Ignorance... (Surat al-Fath, 26)
Under the influence of his mental imbalance, Hitler saw the fact that Darwin's theory ran so parallel to his own twisted views as an excellent means of spreading them. His attachment to Darwinism can be seen in his book Mein Kampf, published in 1925. In Chapter 4, for example, he wrote that Darwinism was the only basis of a successful Germany. Robert Clark, author of Darwin: Before and After, makes this comment on Hitler's devotion to Darwinism:
Hitler's book Mein Kampf included a great many Darwinist statements.
Beate Wilder-Smith, author of The Day Nazi Germany Died, describes the fundamental factor in Nazi doctrine:
In American Scientist, Professor George J. Stein wrote an article headed "Biological Science and the Roots of Nazism":
Hitler and the Nazis reinforced their perverted ideas—the product of their own mental instabilities— with Social Darwinist statements, and carried out the worst slaughter in world history.
Professor Stein's article makes clear that the claim that human beings are no different from animals underlay German Social Darwinism. He continues:
These errors of National Socialism, clearly set out in Stein's text, prepared the groundwork for a world war in which many countries were forced to participate. Nazism, which grew and developed with the support of Darwin's illusory theories, was the architect of a disaster the like of which the world had seldom ever seen. So terrible was this catastrophe that millions lost their lives and whole cities were wiped off the map. The worst harm was suffered by German society itself—which Nazi propaganda had claimed would gain strength and progress. Once again it was demonstrated that ruthless conflict and seeking to eliminate others can never carry a nation forward. As long as he lived, Hitler never abandoned the view Nazis held of themselves and others, which he summarized in the words: "We Nazis … are barbarians! We want to be barbarians. It is an honorable title [for, by it,] we shall rejuvenate the world."95
As in Sir Arthur Keith's words, Hitler "consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution."96 About the theory of evolution, Hitler and war, Keith says the following:
In Hitler's Personal Security, Peter Hoffmann discusses Hitler's Darwinist views:
In short, as can be seen from the opinions of a great many historians and researchers, as well as from Hitler's writings and speeches, Nazism drew strength and nourishment from Darwinism and using allegedly scientific arguments, Hitler and the other Nazi leaders sought to justify all their own psychopathic cruelty. In fact, the cultural environment that encouraged such an ideology also bore traces of Darwinism. As we shall see in the following pages, the Social Darwinism that entered Germany in the first half of the 20th century, thanks to fanatical Darwinists like Ernst Haeckel, profoundly influenced German society and constituted a most important philosophical foundation for Nazism's success.
War in Nazi Germany and Evolution
According to Social Darwinism's perverted thinking, war allows societies to advance, selects the fittest and eliminates the weak. War is regarded as a positive force because it eradicates not only weak races, but also the weaker within the "superior race." That's why Social Darwinism approves of war. The Nazism adopted militarism with the same Social Darwinist logic. Robert Clark, in Darwin: Before and After, cites Mein Kampf as a reference and provides the following information about Hitler:
August 19, 1942: People in the French coastal town of Dieppe murdered by the Nazi garrison. Top right: Germans carrying heavy weapons during fierce fighting on the Norwegian front. Social Darwinist logic caused a great many deaths in the wars of the last century, and a great many countries to be ruined.
With Social Darwinism, the ideology of conflict and warlike hysteria grew stronger. Darwinist concepts were a very influential catalyst that encouraged these trends and led to them being adopted by an entire society. For the first time, racism and a longing for conflict thus found an alleged scientific foundation and were presented to society as an irrefutable fact. The writings of Dr. Albert Edward Wiggam, an evolutionary theoretician during the Nazi era, published in 1922, reflect one of "deceptions" most frequently encountered in the world of German ideas of the time:
People dying or about to die of starvation at the Auschwitz concentration camp, in which between three and four million people were killed. The Nazis' obsession with the false idea of the master race, which they based on social Darwinism, led to millions of innocents dying in this manner.
Many German ideologues perversely believed that war and conflict hastened evolution by causing humanity to progress. The Nazis, believing in the alleged superiority of the Aryan race, sparked World War II in order to make their race even more "pure" and cost the lives of some 40 million people.
The conclusion the Nazis drew from this imaginary "evolutionary history," the product of a sick mentality, is this: According to the Nazis' false perspective, war was constructive in long term, because evolutionists maintained that human beings advanced only by means of lethal conflict. Like Hitler and Rosenberg, other Nazi ideologues also claimed that contemporary civilizations had come into being chiefly through constant war. Various so-called scientists of the time also defended this twisted viewpoint.
University of Berlin's Professor Haeckel, for instance, a known proponent of Darwinism, praised the ancient Greek militaristic state of Sparta, claiming that the Spartans being a chosen people explained why they were so successful and superior to others. He said that by killing all but the "perfectly healthy and strong children" the Spartans were "continually in excellent strength and vigor."101 Haeckel regarded these savage practices as justified. According to him, Germany should have followed this Spartan custom too, because infanticide of the deformed and sickly children was "a practice of advantage to both the infants destroyed and to the community." These unconscionable recommendations of Haeckel's are important in revealing the logical framework represented by the unscientific claims of Darwinism, according to which the idea that all lives have equal value and need to be protected was merely a "traditional dogma" and allegedly a violation of scientific truth.102 No rational person of good conscience could ever accept these claims, but eminent Germans strongly adopted them at one time.
Hitler and the Nazis' obsession with establishing a master race led to the deaths of millions of innocents, with millions more suffering inhuman treatment for years.
Not just in Germany but in a great many parts of the world, Social Darwinism rejected the moral values, along with virtues such as compassion, protection, cooperation, sympathy and patience taught by the Divine religions. In place of these virtues, it claimed that killing those who were incompatible with society's interests—through destruction and ruthlessness, all of which belong to satan, the great misleader of humanity—was actually superior. The hatred they felt for Divine religions lies at the heart of the Nazis' enmity towards the Jews.
Yet neo-Nazism still survives in the world, showing that this sick ideology continues to pose a danger. No matter what name it may go by, the lifestyle that Social Darwinism advances consists solely of conflict, struggle, bloodshed, war, suffering and fear. Death camps like Auschwitz are where Social Darwinism is put into practice. Darwinism inevitably leads to Social Darwinism. In a world where Social Darwinism again comes to rule, new Auschwitzes will be inevitable.
Hitler Was a Tyrant Because He Was a Social Darwinist
Hitler and the other Nazi leaders experienced no guilt over the savagery they inflicted for so many years, and even regarded themselves as heroes. They thought of themselves as saviors who would bring about the evolution of humanity, to whom later evolved generations would feel grateful. That, however, was a lie.
Three Yugoslavs, whom the German occupying forces killed and put on public display in 1940.
The dangerous ideas that resulted from Hitler's sick mentality were broadened and put into practice under the influence of Social Darwinism. According to his ideology, concentration camps were not prisons where innocents were tortured and exterminated, but rather places of quarantine where sickly, weak and undesirable elements were isolated for the protection of the master race. Thus Darwinism went down in history as a false science that constituted the basic philosophy of a war and genocide that inflicted the worst destruction, suffering and terror in history. Hitler himself went down as a tyrant who implemented this false science.
An infamous fascist coalition: Darwin – Haeckel – Hitler
Ernst Haeckel, the foremost representative of Charles Darwin and Social Darwinism in Germany, made the following comment after reading The Origin of Species:
Haeckel imagined that Darwin's book had lifted all his doubts, but was of course mistaken. The theory of evolution, formulated under the primitive conditions of the time, was unable to advance a valid, consistent and (even more importantly) scientific explanation of how life began. In The Wonders of Life, Haeckel summed up his irrational views regarding the human races that he had developed on the basis of Darwinism:
These claims of Haeckel's were devoid of any scientific foundation. Nonetheless, his beliefs were adopted by a great many people as scientific fact. Haeckel also developed a kind of materialist belief from the theory of evolution, which he gave the name monism. This perverted idea entirely rejected the existence of the soul and reduced everything to matter. Haeckel wrote:
Nazi doctors blindly implemented eugenicist practices, causing the deaths of millions when they should have been saving lives.
In fact, Haeckel was deceiving himself by imagining that he had found the answers to many questions with a materialist perspective. The materialist view, that there is no difference between animate and inanimate bodies and that everything has a mechanical explanation, has been dealt a severe blow by scientific progress and research carried out in the 21st century, and its alleged scientific underpinnings have been totally invalidated. Every new discovery, every scientific advance, has revealed the fact that the universe is a flawless product of creation. The universe is not eternal and infinite, as materialists would have us believe, and did not come into being as the result of mechanical developments and influences. God created the universe and everything within it, and when the time appointed by our Lord comes, the universe will come to an end, as will all human beings and other entities.
Handicapped or sickly babies are human beings who need to be loved and protected.
On account of his materialist way of thinking, however, Haeckel rejected the Divine religions and the humanity and compassion imparted by religious moral values. He praised the "artificial human selection" practiced by the Spartans (members of the Greek city-state founded in the 9th century BC that rejected art, philosophy and literature and was built solely on military force) by defending eugenic barbarity. During the time of the Spartans, under a special law, newly born babies were subjected to careful examination, those who were weak, sickly or had physical defects were ruthlessly killed. Only strong and perfectly healthy children were allowed to live. Haeckel defended this barbaric Spartan practice that envisaged the murder of innocent babies.4
This is how Haeckel responded to those who criticized him:
No doubt, this logical framework that Haeckel proposed is inhuman. According to him, feelings of love, compassion and affection should be directed solely towards those who can be of benefit. This selfish attitude flourishes under the twin influences of materialism and Darwinism. People who live by religious moral values, however, feel compassion for the needy and seek to protect them, even if they have nothing at all to gain by doing so. That is true humanity. For example, it is revealed in the Qur'an that true believers offer food to the poor, captives and the needy before themselves, and that they do this solely to gain God's approval:
They give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans and captives: "We feed you only out of desire for the Face of God. We do not want any repayment from you or any thanks." (Surat al-Insan, 8-9)
On the other hand, the monists, led by Haeckel, claimed that not only physical features but also character could stem from genetic defects, and maintained that everyone they considered flawed should be eliminated.
Haeckel's books played an important role in the acceptance of the Nazi eugenics program. Wilhelm Bölsche, Haeckel's student and biographer, directly transmitted Haeckel's Social Darwinist ideas to Hitler. Furthermore, the Archiv für Rassen und Gesellschaftsbiologie ("Archive for Racial and Social Biology," published from 1904 to 1944) became the main organ for disseminating the deceptions of eugenics and false Nazi science, and regularly carried extracts from Haeckel's dangerous works.6
In the words of the historian Daniel Gasman: Hitler's views on history, politics, religion, Christianity, nature, eugenics, science, art, and evolution, however eclectic, and despite the plurality of their sources, coincide for the most part with those of Haeckel and are more than occasionally expressed in very much the same language.7 7
Haeckel defended suicide and euthanasia. According to him, a human being came into being solely as the result of sexual relations between the mother and father. For that reason, when life became burdensome, that person could lose it:
However, human beings do not come into existence as the result of blind chance. God creates them, and behind human creation there is a purpose that is revealed in the Qur'an:
I only created jinn and man to worship Me. (Zariyat Suresi, 56)
Humans are responsible for every action they perform throughout the course of their lives, and will have to account for every moment in the Hereafter. Those like Haeckel, who incite others to suicide and murder, are doubtless assuming a grave responsibility for which they will be unable to account.
Skeletal corpses loaded onto lorries were part of daily life in Nazi Germany. Millions of innocent Poles, Gypsies and Jews, whom the Nazis regarded as "inferior races," were killed in such camps.
Books such as A Gypsy in Auschwitz; Shared Sorrows: A Gypsy Family Remembers the Holocaust; and The Nazi Persecution of the Gypsies are just a few of the works revealing the Nazis' persecution of the Gypsies.
In his Wonders of Life, Haeckel claimed that newborn babies were deaf and devoid of consciousness (which is not the case), and thus did not have a human soul. Based on that unscientific claim, he defended the destruction of abnormal newborn infants and suggested that this cannot rationally be classed as murder. As we have seen, Haeckel openly defended murder, and encouraged those around him to murder. Haeckel was sufficiently heartless to support not only voluntary euthanasia, but its compulsory equivalent. He expressed his anger on this subject in these terms: "hundreds of thousands of incurables – lunatics, lepers, people with cancer, etc. are artificially kept alive … without the slightest profit to themselves or the general body."9 The solution that he proposed was this:
The savagery he supported had very damaging effects in Germany. Haeckel's research led the way to the euthanasia program known as T4, under which some 300,000 mentally handicapped, those with physical deformities, incurables and other "undesirables" were ruthlessly killed.
Haeckel's cruelty, and the killings Hitler encouraged and permitted, had but one source: Social Darwinism.
The eugenics, euthanasia, forced sterilization, concentration camps, racial purity and gas chambers of the mid-20th century emerged as a result of the Darwin-Haeckel-Hitler coalition, representing the worst and most ruthless cruelty in the history of humanity.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kandi Burruss Gets in Trouble With the Police — What Happened?!
Our girl Kandi Burruss may have her raunchy Kandi Koated Nights radio show and her own line of sex toys, but she's actually pretty tame in other respects. As far as we know, Kandi is a model citizen who has never gotten in trouble with the law — until now!
On Feb. 4, Kandi was chatting on the phone and driving when she got pulled over by the police. How rude! Kandi Instagrammed the above photo of herself with an annoyed half-smirk on her face, writing, "Damn! Talking to @411Media on the phone & got pulled for speeding! Way to start a Monday...."
We agree with Kandi: A confrontation with the cops is no way to start off your week. However, safety does come first. And hopefully the cop that pulled our girl over is a Real Housewives of Atlanta fan and he or she let Kandi off with a warning this time!
Are you surprised that Kandi was pulled over for speeding? Tell us your thoughts below!

More reviews like these. My only suggestion is putting the bag side by side with all the things one can fit in there and proceed to migrate items into bag. Gives the watchers a better idea of what goes where and an idea of just how much and how well a bag can hold one's belongings.
Thanks for the review. Seriously considering one of their bags now.
Nice review! This company makes great bags and cases.

I have this bag. It is awesome for travel and so is booq. I had another backpack of theirs for 4 years. Handle and zipper unstiched at top and I sent them a pic. They sent me a coupon to replace for free and a got this squeeze. It was out of warranty and I'm a customer for life!
Awesome products and company.

To The Editor:
Now that the sewage disposal and water bond issues (either fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view) have gone down to defeat, it would be well to rethink the whole proposal to center growth in Irasville and nearby.
As a former member of the Waitsfield Planning Commission and BOA, I had long been uneasy about the idea that the future of Waitsfield depended on growth in that location. The fact of the matter is that there are many reasons not to foster growth in an already hopelessly fractured, overcrowded center of activity. The wetlands issues, high water tables, air pollution, water and sewage disposal problems make sensible development impossible.
The idea that you can have a pedestrian center where everybody says "Good morning" and walks everywhere cannot be done. Development would be split by Route 100, already in many locations a class C or D traffic nightmare. Has anyone studied the number of trucks running through town on the way to deliver products to Waterbury and Stowe and south to Rutland? How many traffic lights would be required to provide safe Route 100 crossings for pedestrians in the Irasville area?
Rather, I would suggest that the planning commission and select board members take a new look at where a new, additional town center could be located. Perhaps at the Waitsfield Common (once touted as the best location for the capital of Vermont). There are, I am sure, many other possible locations that could be investigated.
If we started with a clean slate, we could build a town with real sidewalks, real parking areas, real grid streets in the right locations (remember how Washington, D.C., was laid out?) We could have local stores as part of the town and that desired mix of residential, commercial and municipal space permitting many of our citizens to avoid using Route 100 entirely except when they are going out of town. We could plan our water system and sewage disposal system in advance. We even might be able to have a real municipal center with town hall, police, fire, ambulance, school in a beautiful preplanned environment.
This is a long-term program, difficult, time consuming and expensive. However, if achieved we will have avoided the senseless cramming of additional development around the Route 100 traffic snarl.
What say you, planners?

Here's one for you, Taz. I actually did this, not thinking. NEVER AGAIN.
I had a cart full of beer and then realized I needed some .45 ammo.
I headed to sporting goods and asked the clerk for some ammo. He looked in my cart and just went white. He explained they wouldn't sell ammo and alcohol at the same time under any circumstances. I'd have to put the beer back in order to buy ammo.
I thought he was going to call security.
"I Am the Mad Messenger From the Edge"
really? ive gone to meijer and bought beer and ammo oh and some motor oil too all at the same time
It could be a state law here in New Mexico or some city ordnance or something. But they won't sell both at the same time at our Wal-Mart.Originally Posted by scheistermeister
"I Am the Mad Messenger From the Edge"
Those are great Taz! I'm wary of going to the "slum" walmart that is not too far from my home anymore so I drive 30 minutes further and go to a nicer one now.

We armed up plenty of mechanical alarm clocks back when they existed. Also we would use the tennis raquets to belt tennis balls way way into the shop from the sporting section. You could get 3 or 4 launched before having to move off. Never heard anyone go aaAAAAGGG! though.

Starmount High School will welcome its new principal this June.
Cody Hemric, the former assistant principal, will step in to the fill the shoes of former principal Junior Luffman.
Hemric said that he was raised in Hamptonville, living on the line between Wilkes and Yadkin Counties. He graduated from East Wilkes High School and went on to Appalachian State University where he got his degree in education.
He spent his student teaching at Surry Central High School in Dobson and accepted a job teaching and coaching there.
"I was blessed at the time when I came out of school that teachers were in high demand and the economy was good," Hemric said. "There was a huge push to start reducing class sizes. I had several job offers."
It wasn't long before Yadkin County Schools came calling for Hemric, and he made a move to elementary schools — a move he never thought he would make.
"I wanted to work in the high schools," Hemric said. "I swore I would never work in the elementary schools because I couldn't handle working with the small children."
Hemric quickly learned that he had misjudged the world of elementary school teaching as he settled into his job as sixth, seventh and eighth grade teacher at Jonesville Elementary.
After 12 years at Jonesville, Hemric made another move to continue working with sixth through eighth grades at the newly built Starmount Middle School. Hemric said he served as the social studies teacher for a year and eventually took over as athletic director for about half a year before another opportunity presented itself.
"I received a call from Junior Luffman, who was returning to Starmount High School as the principal and wanted to know if I was interested in working in administration with him," Hemric said. "After getting my master's I was thinking about getting into administration eventually, but I didn't want to leave the classroom. I loved teaching, I loved working with kids and I loved coaching."
Hemric ultimately decided it was the right move for him and his family and accepted the assistant principal position at Starmount High.
Hemric has served in that capacity since 2010. When Luffman announced that he would retire in February, Hemric decided that he was ready to take the next step and added his name to the pool of applicants.
After an interview process, Hemric was the top pick and will take over his new title in June.
"I relish a challenge and I look forward to my roles as principal," Hemric said. "As assistant principal you have almost all the same roles and duties as the principal the only difference is you don't get blamed or you don't get the credit."
Hemric said that he has small goals for Starmount once he takes over but his ultimate goal will be to continue to provide the highest quality education to his students as he can.
Hemric said that he would like to see communication between the school and parents continue to improve and to see test scores continue to improve.
"There's always room to improve communication and involve parents as much as possible," Hemric said. "We want to make them an active part of the kid's life and their education so that they're involved in every aspect of high school."
Hemric said that he's proud to continue on in this new position at Starmount High School and he's most proud of the students he gets to watch grow each year.
"We don't have the most resources and we don't have the most money," Hemric said. "We struggle to do the things that we want to do here in Yadkin County and for our students to accomplish what they've accomplished with the limited resources I think is amazing."
