Hunters fight back after Cecil the lion killing AFP
By Stephanie Findlay
9 hours ago (July 30th 2015)news.yahoo.com/ “…”It’s a different ball game altogether in Africa because the social benefits from hunting are huge.”
Zimbabwe issues an annual quota approved by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) for the number of lions that can be hunted — not usually more than 30, according to Fundira.
A hunter must have a permit, must only hunt in daylight, on private land, or approved state land, and be accompanied by a park ranger. No hunting is allowed in national reserves.

Usually, a lion hunt costs from $60,000 to $120,000 (55,000 to 110,000 euros) and takes place over seven to 21 days. Under certain conditions, bait is allowed.
The weapon of choice is a rifle, but a select few pay a premium for a bow and arrow kill.
“You pay an extra $3,000 to hunt using a bow and arrow,” Fundira explained, adding that such hunts were “extremely exceptional”.
Cecil was allegedly lured from a national reserve outside regular hours and shot with a bow and arrow.
It is unclear whether the hunter, American dentist Walter Palmer, had all the necessary permits.
Hunting fees are meant to be ploughed back into maintenance of the land and to pay local staff, though transparency is often poor.

Otherwise why is the universe so big?
“… Those who believe life evolved on the earth usually see it as virtual ‘fact’ that life has evolved on countless other planets. Discovering life on other planets would in turn be seen as confirming their evolutionary belief.
But even many Christians think, ‘God must have created life elsewhere, otherwise this enormous universe would be an awful waste of space.’ In my experience, this seems to be the major underlying reason why people think that there must be other life ‘out there’. However, our thinking should be based on what God said He did (the Bible), and not what we think He would, should or might have done.
Firstly, since God is the one who made the universe, it can scarcely be ‘big’ to Him. Humans struggle with its vastness because our comprehension is limited to the created time/space dimensions within which we exist, and it is mind-bending to try and comprehend anything beyond our dimensional existence. Size is only relative to us as inhabitants of this universe. And size and time are related somewhat. Because the universe is big to us we consider how long it would take us to travel across it, for example. But, time itself began with the creation of the physical universe, so how can we comprehend what eternity is, or might be? What was ‘before’ the universe? Similarly, how do we imagine how ‘big’ God is? We cannot use a tape measure that is made of the very atoms He made to measure Him. One example of this might be if you were asked to build a small house and you did. Now you are asked to build a large house. In our dimensions, for you to build the larger house it would require more effort and take more time. So, is it harder, or does it take longer for God to build a big universe compared to a smaller one (according to our perspective on what constitutes large or small of course)? Of course not, because He isn’t bound by time and space (which He created). Isaiah 40:28 says; ‘… the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not grow weak nor weary …’. ..”

Canadian businessman Frank JEW-STRA along with Bill and Hillary Clinton were part of a group that built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One. The Russian government controls Uranium One and now controls 20 percent of America’s uranium supply which it can sell to other countries who are our bitter enemies like Iran. This jeopardizes both our national and energy security. As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had to be involved in the approval of Uranium One’s sale to Russia.”

Vermont House candidates end forum by singing duet Tom Garris Reporter mynbc5.com “CAMBRIDGE, Vt. —
Two newcomer candidates vying for the same Vermont House seat in Cambridge and Waterville may represent different political parties, but they ended a recent forum on the same tune.
Republican Zachary Mayo and Democrat Lucy Rogers banded together to end last week’s forum in song.
“Society, you’re a crazy breed,” they sang in unison.
Rogers was on cello while Mayo was strumming an acoustic guitar.
The pair describe themselves as moderates, agreeing on a number of issues, but wanting to show that that nation’s current political division shouldn’t be put above respect.
“We can find a deeper connection and that’s what’s really important here, and in this case it was music,” Mayo said.
Rogers first came up with the idea, and Mayo chose the song.
“I think it’s bigger than the both of us, and a lot of it has to do with being from a really special community that I’m glad to call my home,” Rogers said.
They’re competing for an open seat left by a retiring representative. Both focus on the small town’s need to upkeep infrastructure among other issues.
“I keep pushing people to remind people that there’s a two-hour debate prior to the clip of us playing our duet, because I think for me, … the important part is the meat of the issues and recognizing that both of us are here as serious candidates,” Rogers said.

Rather than burning marijuana to produce smoke, a vaporizer heats the herb to an optimal temperature of approximately 338 F., just above the threshold at which inhalable vapors are produced, smelling lightly of smoke and, curiously, like popcorn.

Mysterious illness tied to marijuana use on the rise in states with legal weed
By Jonathan Lapook |
Posted: Wed 7:01 PM, Dec 28, 2016 |
Updated: Thu 6:25 AM, Dec 29, 2016 .kktv.com “NEW YORK (CBS) – For more than two years, Lance Crowder was having severe abdominal pain and vomiting, and no local doctor could figure out why. Finally, an emergency room physician in Indianapolis had an idea.
“The first question he asked was if I was taking hot showers to find relief. When he asked me that question, I basically fell into tears because I knew he had an answer,” Crowder said.
The answer was cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS. It’s caused by heavy, long-term use of various forms of marijuana. For unclear reasons, the nausea and vomiting are relieved by hot showers or baths.
“They’ll often present to the emergency department three, four, five different times before we can sort this out,” said Dr. Kennon Heard, an emergency room physician in Aurora, Colorado.
He co-authored a study showing that since 2009, when medical marijuana became widely available, emergency room visits diagnoses for CHS in two Colorado hospitals nearly doubled. In 2012, the state legalized recreational marijuana.
“It is certainly something that, before legalization, we almost never saw,” Heard said. “Now we are seeing it quite frequently.”…”
-Second Hand
What Are the Side Effects of Secondhand Marijuana Smoke? healthline.com “..Is secondhand marijuana smoke as bad as tobacco?
There isn’t much by way of clinical data to understand if secondhand marijuana smoke is as bad for your health as tobacco smoke.
According to the American Lung Association, regularly smoking marijuana yourself can damage your lungs and weaken your immune system.
And a 2016 study on rats showed that just one minute of secondhand marijuana smoke impaired lung function for at least 90 minutes — which is longer than the lungs are affected by tobacco secondhand smoke.
Secondhand marijuana smoke exposes you to many of the same toxic chemicals as smoking it directly does. Because of this, the American Lung association recommends that people avoid exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke.
Secondhand marijuana side effects
Contact high may be less common than we think, but it’s possible. Here are some of the other side effects and symptoms of secondhand marijuana smoke exposure.
Delayed reflexes
Smoking weed can slow your reaction time when you’re on the road. If you have high levels of THC in your blood from secondhand marijuana smoke, it might have the same effect.
Dizziness
If you’re around marijuana smoke for a long period of time, you may begin to feel lightheaded or dizzy.
Lethargy
One effect of the THC in marijuana is the feeling of calmness it gives some users. For others, this calmness can take the form of feeling tired or lethargic.
Depression
Researchers are still trying to understand the connection between excessive marijuana exposure and mental health. It appears that marijuana use can trigger or worsen some mental health conditions, including depression.

“While the incident depicted on the recording does not give rise to sufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution under Florida statutes, we can find no moral justification for either the behavior of persons heard on the recording or the deliberate decision not to render aid to Mr. Dunn,” the office said.
According to CNN, the state of Florida does not have any laws requiring citizens to render aid or call for help for anyone in distress…”
What are the effects of secondhand exposure to marijuana smoke? drugabuse.gov “..The known health risks of secondhand exposure to cigarette smoke—to the heart or lungs, for instance—raise questions about whether secondhand exposure to marijuana smoke poses similar health risks. At this point, very little research on this question has been conducted. A 2016 study in rats found that secondhand exposure to marijuana smoke affected a measure of blood vessel function as much as secondhand tobacco smoke, and the effects lasted longer.88 One minute of exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke impaired flow-mediated dilation (the extent to which arteries enlarge in response to increased blood flow) of the femoral artery that lasted for at least 90 minutes; impairment from 1 minute of secondhand tobacco exposure was recovered within 30 minutes. T..” Hazards of secondhand marijuana smoke By Dennis Thompson HealthDay November 17, 2014, 10:06 AM cbsnews.com “..”Smoke is smoke. Both tobacco and marijuana smoke impair blood vessel function similarly,” said study senior author Matthew Springer, a cardiovascular researcher and associate professor of medicine in the university’s cardiology division. “People should avoid both, and governments who are protecting people against secondhand smoke exposure should include marijuana in those rules.”..”

Published on Dec 4, 2012 “College freshman, Alexandra Kogut, was brutally beaten to death in her dorm room. Police say the 18-year-old suffered sever trauma to her upper body. Her longtime boyfriend, 21-year-old Clayton Whittemore, was arrested and charged with her murder.Clayton was visiting Alex that weekend and Alex sent a mysterious tweet hours before police say she was killed. It said simply âshouldâve knownâ. What was she trying to say? For more informaton please visit http://www.hlntv.com/video/2012/10/02…..”
Dateline, Twitter take on Kogut slaying Todd Clausen, Staff writer 10:34 p.m. EST January 4, 2015 democratandchronicle.com “…During the case, the defense argued that Whittemore lost control of himself because he was in the throes of an “extreme emotional disturbance” the night he killed Kogut. The disturbance, they said, was fueled by Whittemore’s abuse-filled childhood…”
After watching this episode, I questioned myself-“If Whittemore had some prior counseling of his abusive father in his upbringing, could all this been prevented?”
It seems like people who grew-up in a abusive environment, some take it to their own future partners/relationships? What can be done?
“…”Our theory was, his anger was building, building and perhaps fueled by alcohol,” District Attorney Sandra Doorley said on the show. “We never discounted his past, but that doesn’t excuse what he did.”…”
Was alcohol Whittemore’s “escape” to his abusive post-traumatic past?
“…And while the college has opened a center to raise awareness of dating violence, and a Purple Pink Foundation began to do much of the same, according to the show, those close to Kogut never thought Whittemore was capable of such an act. Purple was Kogut’s favorite color…”
Domestic violence as prevalent for college students as sexual assault, BY Jake New, Inside Higher Ed December 2, 2014 at 11:32 AM EDT pbs.org “On Black Friday, Nadia Ezaldein, a University of Chicago student, was working at a Chicago Nordstrom when her ex-boyfriend entered the store, found her in the accessories department, and shot her to death. It was her 22nd birthday.
A day earlier, on Thanksgiving, Shannon Jones, a student at Cornell University, was allegedly strangled to death by her boyfriend during an argument. Police described the murder as a “domestic incident.”
The two cases are not the only abusive relationships to end in the death of a college student in recent months. In October, Cecilia Lam, a San Francisco State University student and advocate for the prevention of domestic violence, was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend. Last month, Diamoney Greene, a student at the University of South Carolina, was killed by her boyfriend. Both killings were murder-suicides…..”

What Church Leaders Can Do to Address Domestic Abuse By Lynette Hoy Published 12/1/2011 Domestic Violence Rating: counselcareconnection.org “…HOY: Domestic violence is the number one public health issue facing women and children in the U.S. today. Seventy-five percent of calls to 911 are related to domestic violence. The following statistics demonstrate the pervasiveness of this crime: ..” “…HOY: Churches have an opportunity to be at the forefront of intervention and prevention of abuse! Pastors and church leaders may be the first to hear about abuse or identify a victim. Not only can they help the victim access help, safety, and resources, but leaders can hold men accountable for changing abusive and controlling types of behavior.
Domestic violence and abuse are sinful patterns that need to be confronted. Pastors and leaders can address the wrong theology about headship issues, which may exacerbate power and control issues that lead to abuse in relationships. Men with power, control, and anger issues need to be confronted. The church can be an effective change agent. They can educate men and women in the roles of husbands and wives. They can emphasize love and respect in marriage. Women need to be taught how to apply assertiveness and boundaries in their relationships. ….
My Abusive “Christian” Marriage todayschristianwoman.com “… Counselors and pastors made many appeals for Tom to be accountable to other men for handling his rage. These attempts to stop the abuse were unsuccessful, and, nearly two years after Tom threw me into our daughter’s room, I made the decision to separate. I wanted restoration, and I knew that if Tom and I separated, divorce was possible—but I needed to do what was best for my daughter’s and my health and safety. I wondered how divorce would affect my daughter. I also knew how the church viewed divorce and wondered if my church would accept my decision. And worse, I wondered how God would respond to me…”

JFK assassination: CIA and New York Times are still lying to us David Talbot salon.com
Fifty years later, a complicit media still covers up for the security state. We need to reclaim our history “…All this artful dodging about the murder of President Kennedy began, of course, nearly 50 years ago with the Warren Commission, the blue-ribbon panel that was appointed by President Lyndon Johnson — not to get at the truth, but to “lay the dust” (in the words of one commissioner) on all the disturbing rumors that were swirling around the bloody events in Dallas. Two new books take us inside the Warren Commission sausage factory, and show in often shocking detail how the august panel got it so terribly wrong. Soon after the Warren Report was released in September 1964, polls began showing that the American people rejected its conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of the president – and nearly a half century later, the report remains a notorious symbol of official coverup. [This does not prevent Abramson from blithely declaring that “the historical consensus seems to have settled on” the lone gunman theory – there is no such consensus, only a deeply fractious ongoing debate.].. Lyndon Johnson Admits To Walter Cronkite That He Knows Who Killed Kennedy , from youtube.com

But Cronkite walks right in and LBJ The Robert Kennedy Assassination maryferrell.org “..Political views related to the Arab-Israeli conflict may have motivated Sirhan Sirhan. But that motivation was not necessarily that of his accomplices, whoever they were. The tenuous conspiracy leads that exist, including Jerry Owen and perhaps Michael Wayne, point toward right-wing religious extremists, but there is not enough to go on to make any definitive statement. The giddy behavior of the polka-dotted dress girl and her companion seem hardly that of professional killers. But Robert Kennedy had accumulated many powerful enemies during his career – CIA officers, organized crime bosses, Vietnam war hawks, ardent segregationists. Given the fear that Kennedy’s achieving the Presidency could induce in them, it is not at all clear who the ultimate sponsors of Sirhan and his accomplices might have been. ..” Ex-agent in Bulger case accused of lying about MLK assassination rifle By Andy Rosen Globe Staff April 30, 2015 bostonglobe.com Bin Laden’s Assassination: a Volcano of Lies

50 years of Apollo mission: Was Moon landing fake? Here are the facts business- BS Web Team | New Delhi

Conspiracy theories that claimed that the moon landing was faked and that it was all a Hollywood-like cinematic production shot on Earth have been doing the rounds for decades
“..1) Claim: In the photos from the Moon, the American flag looks like it’s flapping in the wind. That would be impossible because there’s no air up on the Moon.
Fact: Instead of letting the American flag droop, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) had decided to use a right-angled rod to keep the flag spread out, Roger Launius, Nasa’s former chief ..
2) Claim: No stars can be seen in the background of any photographs as Nasa knew that astronomers would be able to use them to figure out whether the photos were taken on the Earth or the Moon.
Fact: Astronomer Emily Drabek-Maunder, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London, told AP that the shutter speeds on the astronauts’ cameras were too fast to capture the stars’ faint light. …
3) Claim: The lunar module didn’t scatter any dust and didn’t leave a crater from the rocket blast that slowed its descent when it descended onto the Moon’s surface
Fact: Drabek-Maunder told AP that while landing on the Moon, the module was traveling horizontally for some time, and so the thrusters weren’t pointed down and wouldn’t have kicked up dust. However, Drabek-Maunder added that when the module did finally touch down, “you can see dust actually being thrown up”. ..
