The Heartbreaking Story Behind That Viral Crying Toddler Photo

nicknotes comments on Jun 18, 2018:

MS St. Louis was a German ocean liner. In 1939, she set off on a voyage in which her captain, Gustav Schröder, tried to find homes for over 900 Jewish refugees from Germany. Due to countries' immigration policies based on domestic political realities, rather than humanitarian grounds, they were denied entry to Cuba, the United States, and Canada. The refugees were finally accepted in various European countries, including Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and France. Historians have estimated that approximately a quarter of them died in death camps during World War II.[2] The event was the subject of a 1974 book, Voyage of the Damned, by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts. It was adapted for a 1976 U.S. film of the same title and a 1994 opera titled St. Louis Blues by Chiel Meijering. Are we repeating history with our treatment of immigrants????​

Throughout History some have questioned if Jesus was a sinner or not???? John 2:14-15 And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. Those that sold animals were providing a service to those who came a distance and needed an animal to sacrifice in the temple. The money changers changed money for people who came to worship and pay the tithe and only had foreign money. Their functions were legal and sanctioned by the Levitical priests. He drove the money changers out of the temple by beating them with a "scourge of cords." Assault and Battery. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. Destruction of Property. Was this behavior by Jesus a sin? Next time they have Bingo at your church, whip the people out of the Hall and turn over the tables and see if they call the police. ​ ​

I have a diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis.

nicknotes comments on Jun 10, 2018:

Rheumatoid arthritis appears to be more prevalent in populations with meat consumption. This joint inflammation could be the result of an autoimmune attack response to foreign animal protein. Some researchers have proposed a “Leaky Gut Theory,” where the saturated fats in animal products contribute to the breakdown of the intestinal barrier, causing our own gut bacteria to leak into our bloodstream, thus triggering an inflammatory response. Newer research points to a state of endotoxemia caused by the bacterial toxins in animal products. The saturated fat in meat may instead facilitate the absorption of these toxins into the bloodstream. Other components in meat also aggravate inflammation. Arachidonic acid is an inflammatory 6 fatty acid found in animal products. Neu5c, a non-human molecule which is found in human tumors most likely through meat consumption, may also cause the body to produce an inflammatory response. Plant-based diets in general are associated with a drastic reduction in symptoms. Rosehips and potassium ease the arthritic pain caused by inflammation, while fruit and vegetables (particularly berries) help to inhibit platelet activity that is associated with inflammation. Curcumin, the yellow pigment in turmeric, worked better at easing pain than the leading pharmaceutical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.

The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Alan Alda, John Candy, Bill Nunn, Kevin J. O'Connor, Rhea Perlman, Kevin Pollak, G.D. Spradlin, and Rip Torn. The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival,[3] and was the final released film to star John Candy, though it was shot before the earlier-released Wagons East!. It is also Moore's only non-documentary film​
