<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img src="http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2012/06/888735939_015125e317_o.jpg.492x0_q85_crop-smart.jpg" /><br /><em class="credit"><br /><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en"></a></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Health and environment watchdog, <a href="http://www.ewg.org/">Environmental Working Group</a> (EWG), has released the eighth edition of its <em><a href="http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/apples-beat-out-celery-as-most-contaminated-produce.html">Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce</a></em>
with updated data on 45 commonly-consumed fruits and vegetables and
their total pesticide loads. The results are based on analysis of
pesticide residue testing data from the US Department of Agriculture and
Food and Drug Administration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every year EWG takes to task the worst offenders with its <a href="http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary/">Dirty Dozen</a>
list, while giving a shout-out to produce with the lowest pesticide
levels with the list of the Clean Fifteen. It's such a brilliant and
helpful approach, giving shoppers the power to avoid the most
contaminated food while still being able to purchase conventional
produce when and if circumstances require it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This year they also
added a new category to the Dirty Dozen -- the Plus category includes
green beans and leafy greens (kale and collard greens) that haven't met
traditional Dirty Dozen criteria, but are found to be routinely tainted
with highly toxic organophosphate insecticides. According to EWG, these
insecticides are toxic to the nervous system and have been largely
removed from agriculture over the past decade, but they are not banned
and still show up on some food crops. Sigh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Dirty Dozen:</strong> The 12 to buy organic (in order of pesticide load, apples being the worst offenders).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Apples<br />2. Celery<br />3. Sweet bell peppers<br />4. Peaches<br />5. Strawberries<br />6. Imported nectarines<br />7. Grapes<br />8. Spinach<br />9. Lettuce<br />10. Cucumbers<br />11. Domestic blueberries<br />12. Potatoes</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><strong>Clean Fifteen:</strong>
Buying organic is more sound environmentally, but if you can't, these
options are less contaminated and don't pose as much of a health threat
as do the dozen above.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Onions<br />2. Sweet corn<br />3. Pineapples<br />4. Avocado<br />5. Cabbage<br />6. Sweet peas<br />7. Asparagus<br />8. Mangoes<br />9. Eggplant<br />10. Kiwi<br />11. Domestic cantaloupe<br />12. Sweet potatoes<br />13. Grapefruit<br />14. Watermelon<br />15. Mushrooms</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other disheartening data from the report includes:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some 98 percent of conventional apples have detectable levels of pesticides.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Domestic blueberries tested positive for 42 different pesticide residues.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seventy-eight different pesticides were found on lettuce samples.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every single nectarine USDA tested had measurable pesticide residues.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As a category, grapes have more types of pesticides than any other fruit, with 64 different chemicals.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thirteen different pesticides were measured on a single sample each of celery and strawberries.</span></li>
</ul>

<div class="hidenpost">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Mesut Ozil scored his first goal for Arsenal as an early onslaught saw off a surprisingly sloppy Napoli at the Emirates Stadium.<br /><br />In a pulsating start, he German caressed home an Aaron Ramsey cross on eight minutes, having been found unmarked by the Welshman on the edge of the penalty area.<br /><br />Ozil then capitalised on some slack Napoli defending from their own throw-in by surging to the byeline and squaring for Olivier Giroud to double the Gunners' lead, and the advantage proved decisive.<br /><br />Arsene Wenger – celebrating 17 years in charge of Arsenal - welcomed back Rosicky from a thigh injury to replace Serge Gnabry, while Mikel Arteta came in as Jack Wilshere was rested.<br /><br />Gonzalo Higuain - who was a transfer-window target for Wenger's side - was unable to shake off a calf injury in time to feature for Napoli.<br /><br />Arsenal were at their free-flowing best right from the off and were soon two goals ahead.<br /><br />The first came in just the eighth minute when Ramsey stormed down the right-hand side and cut back for Ozil on the edge of the box and the German hit a sublime first-time shot that nestled in the corner.<br /><br />And the home fans celebrated a second after quarter of an hour. Giroud flicked to Ozil in the box and he stormed to the byline before laying back for the Frenchman to tap home from close range.<br /><br />Napoli almost responded when Miguel Britos made a late run into the box from a Lorenzo Insigne corner and headed wide when unmarked.<br /><br />Arsenal continued to dominate with Ozil and Ramsey producing a midfield masterclass. The latter twice saw shots blocked in the area by Raul Albiol.<br /><br />The home side's lead was almost extended immediately after the restart when Giroud raced clear on the right and fed into the path of Rosicky six yards from goal, but he failed to make good contact when under pressure from Britos.<br /><br />Napoli tried to come back into the contest and Insigne twice saw efforts go just wide, while Gokhan Inler blazed harmlessly over with 20 minutes remaining.<br /><br />Laurent Koscielny then had a wonderful opportunity to add a third when he met Arteta's flick but from point-blank range he fired straight at Pepe Reina.<br /><br />But Koscielny's miss made no difference to the final score as Arsenal moved to the top of the group. Their next Champions League fixture is at home to Borussia Dortmund on October 22. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gnabry and Ramsey send Gunners two points clear at the top<br />After a tight first half the away side showed their class in the second with Serge Gnabry and Aaron Ramsey producing top finishes, while Ben Davies' goal proved just a consolation.<br />Aaron Ramsey scored his eighth goal of the season as Arsenal moved to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win at Swansea City.<br /><br />Ramsey's hot streak of form – which has seen him score five goals in his last four matches – continued in his native Wales as Arsene Wenger's men won their fifth Premier League game in a row.<br />After an uninspiring first half, Ramsey set up German youngster Serge Gnabry for the game's first goal in the 58th minute.<br /><br />And the former Cardiff City midfielder produced a composed finish himself just a few moments later as Arsenal recorded their eighth Premier League away win in succession.<br /><br />With a lengthy injury list, Arsenal – who are missing the likes of Santi Cazorla, Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – made nine changes from the side that beat West Brom on penalties in the League Cup on Wednesday, retaining only German pair Gnabry and Per Mertesacker.<br /><br />Swansea saw their defence of the League Cup end at Birmingham City in midweek, and they kept just four players in their team, recalling Spanish star Michu, although they were without injured defensive pair Ashley Williams and Angel Rangel (both ankle).<br /><br />Jonathan De Guzman and Jonjo Shelvey both fired over in the early stages for the hosts while Ramsey shot wide from distance, but despite both sides enjoying good spells of possession, they failed to penetrate in a dull first half that saw neither produce a shot on target.<br /><br />Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was almost caught out after a heavy touch played in Michu, but an offside flag avoided further embarrassment for the Polish goalkeeper, while a De Guzman free-kick was blasted over in an effort that summed up the first 45 minutes.<br /><br />The visitors should have scored in first-half stoppage time though, with an excellent Gnabry run finishing with Olivier Giroud, but the Frenchman, who had gone down with an ankle injury a few moments earlier, dragged his effort wide.<br /><br />The second half started slowly, with Szczesny forced to charge off his line to deny Michu, but Arsenal won the game thanks to four minutes of brilliance.<br /><br />The lively Gnabry opened the scoring just short of the hour, making the most of a neat Ramsey flick to slot a cool finish beyond Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm and into the bottom corner.<br /><br />Mesut Ozil nearly doubled Arsenal's lead less than a minute later but saw his near-post effort saved by Vorm, before a counter-attack that ended with Ramsey saw the Welshman maintain his scoring run.<br /><br />An excellent team move that also involved Jack Wilshere and Giroud saw the latter cut back for Ramsey, and the goalscorer took a touch before smashing an effort into the top corner to delight the travelling fans.<br /><br />Nathan Dyer forced Szczesny into a terrific save as Swansea pressed for a goal and defender Ben Davies gave them a lifeline with eight minutes to play.<br /><br />The left-back ran forward and played in substitute Wilfried Bony, and Davies followed his run, collecting Bony's lobbed pass and finishing beyond Szczesny.<br /><br />It was a terrific goal but time ran out for Swansea, as Arsenal won again ahead of a mouth-watering UEFA Champions League clash against Rafael Benitez's Napoli on Tuesday.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">it’s
been estimated that nearly 90% of people in the world belong to a
religion; even if you exclude the children of religious people (in many
countries, children are legally of the same religion as their parents
until they are adults), it’s clear a large percentage of people have
religious beliefs. The question is why? Is there a “god shaped hole in
our brain”? Why do people have the need to “believe fervently in the
very unlikely”?</span>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380243438111_4074" style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The short answer is no-one knows for sure, but there are some aspects of
our behavior that provide some clues. Here are eight reasons that have
been given for religious behavior.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I’m a fan of cricket and, occasionally, I have a feeling that I suspect
many other sports fans will find familiar—if I stop watching a game for a
couple of minutes and a wicket falls, I’m tempted to stop watching
again to see if that “takes another wicket”. Football fans report a
similar feeling if they stop watching and a goal is scored, they feel
they should stop watching again to see if that scores another goal.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Although my logical mind knows that me popping out to the toilet can’t
really affect a game being played hundreds or thousands of miles away,
the feeling is there—and it’s widespread; I’ve heard plenty of stories
starting “I’m not superstitious, but…”..</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
What’s interesting is that superstition isn’t confined to people;
psychologist B.F. Skinner demonstrated that pigeons are also
superstitious; he put hungry pigeons in a box and delivered food at
random times—the pigeons would repeat whatever behavior they’d just been
doing to “make” the food come again.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
As has been pointed out; it is very difficult to distinguish between
superstitious behavior (getting a cup of coffee to “make” a football
team score a goal) and religious behaviour (talking in a quiet voice to
“make” it rain).</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Hands up who talks to their computer? And not because it has speech
recognition. Yep, I can see lots of hands there—including my own. We
talk to (or shout at) computers, cars, screwdrivers, almost anything we
interact with. It’s a widespread practice and children, in particular,
do it—imposing personalities on inanimate objects.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
There is some evidence that this is useful behavior—for example, if
you’re looking for something you’ve lost then saying the item’s name out
loud makes it easier to find—as if “talking” to something helps people
concentrate on the item. Again, if pressed, people will confess that the
computer, car or screwdriver can’t actually hear them—even if we shout,
but also people can’t stop doing it—it’s built into our brains.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
How does this tie in to religious beliefs? Religion has been described
as “trying to talk to the weather”; is talking to our cars so different?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
We seem to have a natural ability to see purposes for things; for
example, rabbits can be seen to have lots of purposes; they eat grass,
they make holes, they make more rabbits (obviously!), they feed foxes
and so on. It seems that it’s natural to feel everything should have a
purpose—“but what use are wasps?” is a question I’ve heard plenty of
times—as if wasps have a bit of a nerve existing without a clear
purpose. It feels wrong to say, “well, some things have no purpose; they
just are.” The tendency to say “everything has a purpose” leads to
questions such as “what is the purpose of life?, of death?, of evil?”
Many philosophers would argue that these aren’t sensible
questions—partly because they’re based on an assumption that such things
have a purpose, but if you insist that things do have a purpose, then a
supernatural explanation—which can explain anything—can obviously
explain it.</span></div>

It seems people have an innate belief in justice; particularly when
we’re young—“it’s just not fair!”—sound familiar? Although the parents’
standard response is “well, life isn’t fair”, the feeling that life
*should* be fair is deeply ingrained—as with superstition, there’s
evidence that it isn’t restricted to humans—evolutionary biologist,
Professor Marc Bekoff believes that a sense of morality is built into
the brains of all mammals—but people simply hate to see wrongdoing
unpunished and it’s a common factor in religions that there’s a *lot* of
punishment going on. It’s rather unpleasant to think that one of the
biggest “draws” of religion is the hope that “evil” people get really
punished.</span></div>

The other side of the belief in justice; when someone dies, one of the
stages of grieving that people go through is anger—it just seems so
wrong, so unfair that someone we love is gone. Who would not like it to
be true that we’ll see them again? As with many of these things, our
logical mind might accept that simply living, and being conscious of
living is enough, but our logical mind isn’t the only thing that drives
our beliefs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The closest living relative to modern humans are gorillas—depending on
how you count the DNA, we’re up to 99% gorilla—or gorillas are 99%
human. As the naturalist and broadcaster David Attenborough has pointed
out, their vision, hearing and sense of smell is so similar to ours that
they experience the world in the same way we do.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The behavior of gorillas, however, is different from humans. Bands (or
whoops!) of gorillas live in small groups with one dominant male—called a
silverback because the fur on a male’s goes silver as the male ages.
The silverback defends the group from attacks—and, as you’d suspect, a
mature, male gorilla is *very* strong, so it’s likely to win. The
silverback also “runs” the group; making all the decisions, sorting out
fights, deciding where the group goes and so on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Humans don’t live like this; they live in relatively large
groups—particularly compared with other apes—and they don’t have a
supremely powerful male leader, but there is a theory that until (in
evolutionary terms) recent times, we did and part of our brain misses
him; a lot of religious behavior is identical to submissive behavior to a
dominant male (eyes are downcast, there’s quiet and respect in their
presence). The difference is that our dominant male isn’t so tangible
nowadays.</span></div>

Indigenous people in South America have been taking ayahuasca for
centuries—European missionaries described it in in the 16th century, but
it was long established then. Ayahuasca is easy to make—assuming you’ve
access to a rain forest, and can boil water—various leaves are crushed
and boiled and consumed. It’s, apparently, quite difficult to keep the
mixture down but users describe life changing, spiritual experiences
under the influence of the psychedelic chemicals in the leaves. Other
effects reported are “becoming” prey animals—in a spirit world.</span></div>

Although it’s difficult to know for sure how behavior evolves, there is
usually one of two reasons why it survives; either it provides a benefit
or it’s a side effect of something else that provides a benefit.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380243438111_4089" style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
At first look, religion is evolutionary expensive; animal and human
sacrifice is, historically, commonplace, religious wars, to this day,
cost thousands of lives how could religious belief survive the
evolutionary process?</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380243438111_4088" style="border: 0px none; float: left; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
One theory is that religious belief brings people together—or more
precisely, that it allows lots of people to live together without
killing each other; our closest relatives—gorillas and chimps live in
small groups (150 individuals is probably the biggest chimpanzee band).
Chimpanzees and humans have a common ancestor from around 8 million
years ago, so it seems likely that early humans lived in small groups,
but started living in larger and larger groups with the invention of
agriculture forcing them to live together.Something in early humans’
brains would have to change to allow us to live in large groups without
continual fighting; a common religious belief could be that change. One
interesting point about the theory is that it doesn’t matter what the
religious beliefs are, but it is important that everyone in the
community believes the same thing. That may explain some of the bizarre
beliefs in religions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Monreal the hero as Gunners progress to face Chelsea<br />The two sides could not be seperated after 120 minutes, with Saido Berahino cancelling out Thomas Eisfeld's opener, before Craig Dawson and Morgan Amalfitano missed from the spot<br />The north London club's 20-year-old German starlet Thomas Eisfeld gave the away side the lead in the second half, latching onto a perfectly weighted through-ball from Nicklas Bendtner, before the Baggies responded through Saido Berahino.<br /><br />But with the scores still level after extra-time, the match went to a penalty shoot-out. Serge Gnabry was the first player to miss, giving West Brom the advantage, but Craig Dawson and Morgan Amalfitano both failed to beat Lukasz Fabianski as Monreal converted the final penalty to win the tie.<br /><br />Steve Clarke made eight changes to the side that beat Sunderland 3-0 on Saturday, with only Youssouf Mulumbu, Scott Sinclair and Stephane Sessegnon retaining their places.<br /><br />Arsenal too took the opportunity to rest key personnel, with Per Mertesacker and Serge Gnabry the only survivors from the 3-1 win over Stoke City, while Bendtner made his first start for the club in two years.<br /><br />West Brom had the first chance in the 25th minute when Dawson's looping header from Graham Dorrans' corner required Fabianski to tip over the crossbar.<br /><br />Arsene Wenger's side were then lucky not to have 18-year-old debutant Isaac Hayden sent off. The midfielder’s sliding tackle on Mulumbu was late and robust but referee Robert Madley deemed it only a yellow card.<br /><br />West Brom produced the best effort of the match to that point on the stroke of half-time, when Reid’s 35-yard free kick dipped and just grazed the top of the bar, but that near miss saw the teams go in level.<br /><br />Mulumbu forced the first genuine save of the night on the hour mark, when he teed himself up for a volley that Fabianski parried out for a corner, but West Brom failed to orchestrate clear openings and were duly punished as Arsenal went ahead in the 62nd minute.<br /><br />Bendtner’s sideways pass into the box was met by the run of Eisfeld and the 20-year-old showed good composure to coolly slot beyond Luke Daniels at the near post.<br /><br />That goal should have allowed the visitors to exercise control of the game but, with 20 minutes remaining, the home fans were on their feet celebrating an equaliser.<br /><br />Arsenal failed to clear their lines from a West Brom corner and a dinked cross from Dorrans was met by Berahino, who headed home from eight yards despite Fabianski getting a hand to the ball.<br /><br />Both teams pushed forward for a winner in the ensuing minutes, but with neither able to find a breakthrough, the game headed for extra time.<br /><br />Bendtner could have wrapped it up in the 97th minute when Serge Gnabry sent him racing clear, but the Dane took too long to get his shot away and allowed Dawson to recover and make a last-ditch tackle.<br /><br />And with just four minutes remaining, substitute Amalfitano thought he had won it for West Brom but saw his drilled effort cannon back off the bar. Markus Rosenburg went close moments later, before Sinclair sliced a volley well wide from close range.<br /><br />That meant the match headed to penalties where, after two successful spot-kicks for the hosts and one for the away side, Gnabry saw his effort saved.<br /><br />But Dawson and Amalfitano both fired wide for the home side, leaving Monreal the chance to win the tie, and the Spaniard made no mistake as he fired high into the roof of the net to set up a fourth round clash with Chelsea. </span></div>

the nature of the human condition, there is a reluctance to accept that
our existence concludes on our death bed and the debate over how we
continue after the last beat of our heart has become the intersecting
point of most major religions. So, although irrational and improvable,
the inclusion of a belief in life after death cannot be considered
bizarre. The word bizarre must be reserved for those belief systems that
step knee-deep in the irrational and improvable in this life.</span></div>

incredible assertions, while others do so for the outrageous way in
which their own bureaucracies or the authorities around them behave. So

the vast majority faith-based belief systems.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Whether
as a method of escaping the material demands of the modern world or as a
way to escape the hardships of poverty, sports has a vital and
meaningful role in life. The people who reach the highest level of any
sport receive the adulation and affection of a broad range of supporters
and devotees. So it may be no surprise that the World Game has spawned
its own bizarre spiritual phenomenon with, at the head of it, the one
unquestionable champion, Diego Maradona.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">On
the celebration of the great man’s thirty-eighth birthday, a handful of
fanatics in the city of Rosario founded the Iglesia Maradoniana, that
is, the Maradonian Church. As with all great movements, and soccer
games, the beginnings were slow and the participants took time to
instigate the path to their goal, so it wasn’t until 2001 that the first
official meeting of the church was held. Less than ten years later,
Iglesia Maradoniana boasts a membership of over 80,000 drawn from over
60 countries.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380069900108_4905" style="background-color: white;">Unlike
other systems of belief that must use weekly gatherings to maintain
their momentum and passion, the Maradonian Church has only two
significant periods of structured worship each year. On October 29th and
30th, worshippers celebrate Noche buena y Navidad Maradoniana,
Maradona, Christmas Eve and Christmas, which acknowledges the birthday
of the one true football God. Then on June 22nd, Las Pascuas
Maradonianas, Maradona Easter, is celebrated to commemorate the day that
Argentina defeated England in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals with
Maradona scoring the two goals for his country.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Typically,
Iglesia Maradoniana sets out some important tenets for her members and
these can be largely reflected in the Ten Commandments of the church:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">1. The ball must not be stained, as D10S has proclaimed;<br />
2. Love football over all things;<br />3. Declare your unconditional love of football;<br />4. Defend the colors of Argentina;<br />5. Preach the words of “Diego Maradona” all over the world;<br />6. Pray in the temples where he preached, and to his sacred mantles;<br />
7. Do not proclaim the name of Diego in the name of a single club;<br />8. Follow the teachings of the Maradonian Church;<br />9. Let Diego be your second name, and that of your children;<br />10.
“No see cabeza de term y sue no se the escape la tortuga.” (Meaning
“don’t be a hothead and don’t let the turtle escape you”)</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380069900108_4907" style="background-color: white;">D10S
is a clever play on the Spanish word for God, Dios, with the inclusion
of the jersey number of the infallible one of the football world, but
the church is not all tongue in cheek. Like many followers, one of the
Ten Apostles of the church has been quoted as saying, “The church isn’t
just a bit of fun. This is a serious celebration of our eternal love for
God. I may have only been part of the church for two years but I was
born ‘Maradonian’.”<br />
While there are those who will always see as bizarre the passion of
sport that leads grown men to proclaim Maradona as God and, although
Diego Maradona himself is reluctant to acknowledge his deity, perhaps
the truth is hidden in one of his most famous or infamous moments on the
soccer pitch. The second of Maradona’s goals in the quarter-final of
the 1986 World Cup has long been revealed to have been scored with his
hand. But when this was put to the incarnate God himself, his response
was simple, that the triumph was assisted by the “Mano de Dios”, the
Hand of God.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Inspiration
for belief can come in a variety of ways and not every spiritual leader
can hope for a “Road to Damascus” moment to point them toward their
true calling. But Oberon Zell-Ravenheart founded the Church of All
Worlds through a novel, if not bizarre, means by basing his neo-pagan
religion on – a novel. While many religions accommodate and assimilate
the belief systems around them, few pick up whole slabs of fictional
religions and make them their own.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Based
on a religion from “Stranger in a Strange Land”, a science fiction
novel by Robert A. Heinlein, the Church of All Worlds includes aspects
of Science Fiction, elements of Greek Mythology, handfuls of
contemporary fiction and a healthy smattering of Druidry. Of course, the
growth of a system of belief from Science Fiction can hardly be
considered bizarre, unless others like Jediism and Scientology were to
be labeled bizarre as well.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">However,
the Church of All Worlds has tried to remain contemporary and has now
dipped into more current fiction to create The Grey School of Wizardry,
which has remarkable similarities to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry from the Harry Potter novels. Educational supplies can be
purchased through Magick Alley and its Grey Council boasts an extensive
list of practitioners including the longest continuously-practicing
Wiccan in the world, who had “a mystical experience in the arms of his
first fiancée” and was initiated soon after into Gardnerian Witchcraft.
Perhaps this system of belief would seem less unusual if everyone who
had a mystical experience in the arms of their lover immediately entered
a branch of Witchcraft.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">With
a Sacred Mission that works towards the reawakening of Gaia, the Church
is firmly grounded in neo-paganism, yet some choices of language are
surprising. Lurking Bear is a noted member of the Grey Council, an
associated website carries a slogan that may well have been borrowed
from a bar, “May You Never Thirst!” and the co-founder and wife of
Oberon Zell-Ravenheart has taken a name that clearly represents the
beauty of the rising day or the rising of Oberon, in Morning Glory
Zell-Ravenheart. So it makes sense that the Church is administered by
two bodies, the Board of Directors and the Fun Committee.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380069900108_4914" style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380069900108_4913" style="background-color: white;">The
cynical would suggest that the use of such language and the inclusion
of pop culture references and structures are all ploys to make the
Church a commercial success, more so than a spiritual one. But, in maybe
the most bizarre twist of all, the annual fee to enroll in the online
Grey School of Wizardry is a negligible $30 for students under eighteen
and $60 for those over eighteen. The cost to move from one level to the
next is similarly negligible, which can only lead one to believe that,
regardless of the bizarre conglomerate of fiction and fantasy, Oberon,
Morning Glory and others of the Church of All Worlds are sincere in
their beliefs and intentions.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Bruno
Groening was a miracle-healer and teacher, who made few professions to
greatness or god-likeness. He came to prominence in Germany in the
latter half of the 1940’s, having survived World War II as a benign
opponent to the Nazi Movement. As a healer, Groening drew on the divine
energy of God to help cases of chronic illness and he encouraged his
followers to “not be credulous” but to “convince yourself”.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380069900108_4919" style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1380069900108_4918" style="background-color: white;">In
all, there was little of Bruno Groening and his work that was bizarre,
until he passed away in 1959. It was then that the Circle Of Friends
took his humble insistence that his followers be sure of their faith to a
radical level. To this end they began to document healings that they
could attribute to Groening, demanding reports from doctors, medical
professionals and veterinarians before and after the healing to justify
the claim.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This
process was thorough and admirable, but somewhere in the midst of it
the followers devised new and unusual approaches to the “Heilstrom”, the
divine energy, that Groening had used. It was “realized” that, for the
energy to work effectively, members of the congregation could not sit in
any configuration but a series of even and parallel rows that all faced
the photograph of Groening. This was so that the flow of the energy
would be most efficiently channeled.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Music
at meetings was restricted to those tunes recognized to have shared the
vibrational qualities of Groening’s “divine energy”. Cut flowers were
symbols of death and could be placed near the photograph. Only potted
plants could be used as these were still filled with the energy of life.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As
the Circle Of Friends has spread, the pressing focus of its members has
moved away from the sharing of spirituality and the empowering love of
God to the need to record, document and lodge healings that can be
proven as the intercession of Bruno Groening. While there can be no
doubt that the work of Groening himself was remarkable, the current
standard of achievements dwells somewhere in the midst of chickens
laying more contented eggs.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Throughout
history spiritual leaders have had their words, works and intentions
modified and mollified to accommodate the whims of their followers. The
Circle of Friends may be representative of the bizarre bureaucratic
interpretations made by many stumbling followers that impose a system of

<span style="background-color: white;">Amidst
the diversity of beliefs, either bizarre or banal, there are few that
reject the opportunity to exclusivity. However, Ayah Pin succeeded in
being both bizarre and banal while working enthusiastically to gather
all believers of just about anything. This multi-denominational appeal
was even more admirable given that his Malaysian home was in the very
bosom of Islamic fundamentalism.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Sky
Kingdom, the commune and sect founded by Ariffin Mohammed, who was
later known as Ayah Pin, was open to most religions as Arrifin
proclaimed himself the reincarnation of the gods of Islam, Christianity,
Buddhism, and Hinduism. In contrast to the paranoid machinations of the
State endorsed religion that worked itself into a lather trying to
silence it, Sky Kingdom pursued a convivial and ecumenical approach to
religion. They even went so far as to host a Christian group, which was a
rare and dangerous venture in an environment where the rule of Sharia
law was so powerful.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In
evidence of this power, Sky Kingdom and its followers were subject to
continuous persecution and often members were arrested and charged with
offenses under Sharia Law. Appeals against prison sentences and fines
were lodged on the basis that those charged had renounced Islam and so
were no longer subject to Sharia Law. However, the federal court
dismissed the appeals on the basis that the guilty parties were Muslim
at the time that they had committed the offenses.<br />
Aside from the bizarre behavior occurring around it, Sky Kingdom must be
acknowledged as having one of the most bizarre places of worship
imaginable. In their typically inoffensive style, they constructed a
two-story teapot. Cream in color and complemented by a proportionally
sized blue vase, these building were designed to symbolize the “love
pouring from heaven” and the purity and purifying properties of water.
Sadly, there was no Brahman bull-sized teabag in Ayah Pin’s disciple’s
dream, which was the inspiration for the architecture.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">A
similarly impressive big, yellow umbrella provided shade in the
compound as “a place for people to take shelter beneath God”. There was
also some tenuous link in the umbrella to the nine planets of Hinduism,
but some visitors found that hard to spot.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Officials
from the Besut Land Office demolished the buildings of Sky Kingdom on
August 1st, 2005, using bureaucratic justifications to confiscate the
land. Ayah Pin was forced into exile in Thailand and, even though the
remnant members of the commune elected a new leader, they now live in
such fear that they turn off all the lights in the commune should a car
be heard approaching at night.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">One
that springs into the mire without a bean of hesitation has to be the
Pythagorean Circle of Friends. While Pythagoras was a master
mathematician and a charismatic philosopher and teacher, he also drifted
into the realm of the mystics. So great was his fame that he
established a commune, consisting of the inner circle, or Mathematikoi,
and an outer circle, the Akousmatikoi. Both levels of followers were
devoted to his teachings and the more they praised his name, the
stranger the rules became.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It
wasn’t long before he considered himself semi-divine and persuaded his
followers of the reality of reincarnation and the transmigration of the
soul. He reportedly was convinced of this when he saw a man beating a
dog and called for the beating to stop because he recognized the voice
of deceased friend in the yelps of the dog.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Logically,
as you would expect of Pythagoras, he quickly pointed out that if
people could be reincarnated in animals, then eating them was not really
polite. Vegetarianism was the order of the day, although probably
something green with a Greek dressing would have been the order most
days, but lentil soup could have been questionable. Lentils are close to
beans in the legume family and beans were banned by the big man, but
more of that later.<br />
The Pythagoreans system of belief recognized that, at its most basic,
reality is mathematical in nature. This was reflected in music,
astronomy and, of course, mathematics. The numbers themselves held
meaning, such as,</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">one is the number of reason<br />
two is the first female number, that of opinion<br />three is the first true male number, the number of harmony<br />four is the number of justice<br />five is the number of marriage (2+3)<br />six is the number of creation (2×3)</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">It
also helped that all numbers were rational, so even nature could be
explained rationally. But when one of his followers, Hippasus, proved to
Pythagoras that the square root of two was irrational, Pythagoras did
the only thing a rational religious leader could. He had him drowned.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Among
other rules of Pythagoreanism were that one should never stir the fire
with an iron, never touch a white cock and never pick up what has
fallen. However, there were others that probably were more worrying in
the days of Pythagoras than they are now, such as, women and men are
equal and all property should be communal.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Although
Pythagoreanism lived on for centuries, but the stringent rules were
probably going to be the death of it, as they were for its founder.
Pythagoras, when being chased by soldiers came to field of beans. With
the choice of trampling the sacred legumes or facing death, he chose to
abide by his own laws and was speared where he stood.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">If
a belief system was to gain the title “bizarre” simply because it
acknowledged the divinity of a man, then everything from Christianity to
Buddhism would have to be included. With the proportion of the human
race that would be included, it would almost be bizarre, or at best
weird, to not hold such a belief. But the belief system of Yaohnanen
tribe on the southern island of Tanna in Vanuatu can be considered
bizarre on the basis of whom they worship as their deity.<br />
These natives are convinced that Prince Philip, consort of Queen
Elizabeth II, is the embodiment of a spirit that was born of the volcano
of their island, the pale-skinned son of the mountain spirit. This is
the same Prince Philip renowned for insensitive and racist comments such
as, “If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed” (to a
group of British students in China), “It looks as if it was put in by an
Indian.” (Commenting on an old fuse-box in a factory) and “Still
throwing spears?” (Asked of an Australian Aborigine).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The
Yaohnanen tribesmen carry out ceremonies and rituals including a
special festival on June 10th, Prince Philip’s birthday, to which
neighboring tribes are invited. Their expectation is to see the Prince
return to them and when he doesn’t they, like all good disciples, know
that his spirit is with them even if he can’t be there in person.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The
basis of the Yaohnanen belief is rooted hundreds, perhaps thousands of
years ago in the tale of the son of the mountain spirit who ventured
across the seas to find a powerful woman to marry. Unlike themselves,
for they were only human, this spirit would have pale skin. In the late
1950’s to early 1960’s, the devout Yaohnanen became aware of a tall,
pale-skinned man who had married perhaps the most powerful woman on
earth and they began to pay homage to Prince Philip.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">In
1974 their faith was strengthened by a visit by Prince Philip and Queen
Elizabeth II. This was seen as the son of the mountain spirit returning
to show them his wife. Prince Philip is well aware of the cult and,
while not encouraging perceptions of his “god” status, has sent
photographs and other gifts to the tribe including one of himself
holding a ceremonial club.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">In
consideration of a “System” of belief, Solipsism does struggle with
some of the more obvious features of other systems of belief. There is
no ritualistic adherence to dogma, no ceremonial sequence of rites and
no prayerful adoration of a deity. This is largely because the Solipsist
believes their every whim is dogma, their daily routines are the rites
of their belief and that they are as close to deity as anything is going
to achieve.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">In
short, Solipsism is the belief that the world and everything in it is
the construction and product of one mind, that of the Solipsist. The
rest of the world doesn’t really exist until the Solipsist thinks of it
consciously or unconsciously.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">René
Descartes laid the groundwork for Solipsism through his introduction of
“methodic doubt” into the world of philosophy and, in turn, his
questioning of all our physical senses until he resolved the search for
existence in the brilliant “I think, therefore I am”. Unfortunately, it
was only a small, but enormously bizarre leap for the Solipsist to
transform this five word pillar of philosophy to “I think, therefore I
only am!”, possibly followed with “So you can all sod-off until I think
about you again.”</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Of
course, Solipsism is a very convenient system of belief because most of
the world’s, and indeed life’s, major problems can be dismissed with,
“I’ll think about that tomorrow when I have time and if I don’t get
around to it there’s no great bother as it never really existed anyway.”</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">However,
the introspective Solipsist would have a great deal more trouble in
facing the suffering and torment of the world as they would have to
question why they keep thinking of such horrid things. Given the chance,
most of us would like to see the world full of light and happiness and
only our worst enemies would be banished to famine and tsunamis. How
then can the Solipsist live with themselves when they see hunger in

<span style="background-color: white;">While
there is often a temptation to sneer and ridicule beliefs that diverge
from the norm, it is important to maintain an objective view of the all
credos as being genuine attempts by religious leaders to satisfy the
spirituality of their followers. Such a spirit is essential to see the
Oneida Community, established in New York State in 1848, as John
Humphrey Noyes’ honorable effort to bring a true sense of Christianity
to the world; without this spirit he may be seen as just a dirty old
man.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The
theological basis of Noyes’ community is as supportable as many sects
that separated from the Church throughout history. Among his teachings
was the claim that Jesus actually returned to the world in 70 AD One
could expect that this would have been sound cause for a significant
shift in many teachings and developments of Christian teachings, but
Noyes didn’t seem to take advantage of the profundity of this. Rather he
turned his teachings towards the nature of relationships in the
community.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The
most significant of these appear to be Complex Marriage, Ascending
Fellowship, Male Continence and Mutual Criticism. The most thoughtful
married reader would have to be thinking that marriage is complex enough
as it is, how could Noyes make it even more so? He did this by removing
the monogamist basis of marriage. In fact, everyone in the community
was married to everyone. This meant that every member could share their
member with every other member and, indeed, should. If two people
appeared to be becoming exclusive, they were separated for a specific
length of time to let the passion dissipate.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Noyes
recognized that this was especially important with virgins and the
young. To avoid virgins associating only with other young people,
Central Members, who were older and could provide more adequate
spiritual guidance, would select a virgin to introduce to the mysteries
of Complex Marriage. Through this process of Ascending Fellowship, the
young were taught the attitudes and process of the Community.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The
Oneida Community was built on a tenet of equality and women were given
all the same rights as men, including the right to select a virgin the
process of Ascending Fellowship. However, only women who had passed
through menopause could take on this role. This was because of the
teachings that valued every seed and abhorred unwanted pregnancy.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This
teaching was formalized in the practice of Male Continence, which was
the suppression of ejaculation for any purpose but procreation. Unlike
the Withdrawal method of birth control or simple abstinence, Male
Continence was couched in a community that actively encouraged sexual
intercourse, but discouraged wanton ejaculation. While many scoff at the
notion, statistically it is worth noting that the live birth rate in
regard to total population in New York State in 2009 was 1.26%, but in
the Oneida Community of 250 people in the 1850’s the same comparison was
16% with 40 live births.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Given
the eccentric and rigid nature of the practices of Oneida, it would be
understandable that a process to maintain the principles was essential.
The one employed was Mutual Criticism, through which a member could be
confronted with the criticism of one of the many committees of the
community or of the community as a whole. These were almost always
directed toward the ways in which the member had detracted from “family
unity” and the consequences were often humiliating experiences.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Throughout
the 1850’s, 60’ and 70’s, the community grew and new communities were
founded, but with the succession of John Humphrey Noyes’ son, Dr.
Theodore Noyes, to the leadership of Oneida cracks began to appear. His
agnosticism was probably a stumbling point, but of greater concern was
the rigidity of his rule and many community members were disaffected. By
1879, the concept of Complex Marriage had to be abandoned and the
communities dispersed into the general population.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As
a system of belief, Oneida seemed to move away from the more heavily
religious aspects of other bizarre examples, but the practices and
principles of the community certainly demanded a dedication comparable
to the most devout.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The
argument over the reality of Climate Change and Global Warming may rage
around the world, but it is hard to find opposition to the concerns
raised around over-population. So great is the problem that China, a
country whose standing as a superpower is built on the size of its
population, has conceded to implementing the infamous One Child Policy.
This policy limits couples to one child and imposes fines and even
forced sterilization in the events of subsequent successful pregnancies.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The
Church of Euthanasia takes a “What’s done is done?” attitude to
children already present, but steps up the bizarre scale by promoting
the use of suicide, abortion, cannibalism and, of course, sodomy as
means of addressing the population issue. Proclaiming itself as “a
non-profit educational foundation devoted to restoring balance between
Humans and the remaining species on Earth”, the Church of Euthanasia is a
vocal opponent to everyone from anti-abortion groups to those Jonathon
King described as giving “the rotting the dead the will to live, go on
and never die.”</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Started
by the Rev, Chris Korda in Massachusetts, USA, the Church of Euthanasia
has only one commandment, “Thou Shalt Not Procreate”. However, it does
stress that all of its principle pillars, suicide, abortion, cannibalism
and sodomy, are only supported as voluntary means of achieving the
Church’s goals. This means that the Church does not sanction murder,
rape and involuntary sterilization and cannibalism is limited to only
eating people who are already dead.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">“Save
The Planet, Kill Yourself” is a standard slogan and bumper sticker, but
this and other similarly catchphrases paled into deathly insignificance
against the Rev. Korda’s music video release, “I Like To Watch”. Using a
blend of hard-core pornography and footage of the collapsing World
Trade Center, Rev. Korda struck a discord with almost every level of
society and provided invaluable publicity for the Church of Euthanasia.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Prior
to this, the Church had only really come to prominence through its
conflicts with anti-abortion activists, an appearance on the Jerry
Springer Show entitled, “I Want To Join A Suicide Cult” and through the
demise of a 52-year-old woman who followed the Church’s directions on
committing suicide by asphyxiation through the use of helium. In the
wake of legal threats against the church as contributing to the death of
the Missouri woman, the Church of Euthanasia removed the pages giving
instruction in suicide from the website.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">When
asked why he doesn’t kill himself, Rev. Korda answered with the tongue
in cheek manner that seems to throw a playful gloss over the many
disturbing recommendations of the Church of Euthanasia and explained
that, “I’ll kill myself when I feel like it. Suicide is OPTIONAL,
remember?”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The
bizarre nature of Heaven’s Gate can be measured through either the
quantity or quality of the cult’s remarkable behavior. From its
beginnings as a seed sown during the near-death experience of one of the
founders, Marshall Applewhite to the extraordinary end of thirty-nine
members literally in the wake of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997, Heaven’s Gate
captured the imagination of its members and the stunned attention of the
world.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">While
recovering from a heart-attack, Marshall Applewhite faced a near-death
experience and came out of it believing he and his nurse, Bonnie
Nettles, were the chosen “Two” witnesses of the events of the Book of
Revelations in the Bible. From there they formulated a belief system
that recognized that the Earth was doomed to be “recycled” and the only
way to survive this process was to escape from the Earth itself.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This
led to a number of possible courses of action, including the building
of a spacecraft out of old tires and other secondhand material, which
was an interesting echo of the “recycling” theme, and a secret method
for members to achieve a level of consciousness above human. But the
path chosen was the most bizarre. Thirty-nine members elected to hitch a
ride on a spaceship that was hiding in the brilliant tail of the Comet
Hale-Bopp and that was carrying Jesus.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Unfortunately,
Applewhite was sure that there was no way to reach their goal in their
current form and persuaded the other thirty-eight travelers that would
have to relinquish their humanity to make the voyage. He also convinced
them to all wear the same uniform, which was predominantly black, but
for the armbands reading “Heaven’s Gate Away Team” and the white patches
on their brand new Nike tennis shoes. Perhaps the footwear was to cover
the prospect that, rather than Jesus, the spacecraft carried the Greek
Goddess of victory, or maybe his last words to his disciples were, “Just
Do It!”.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Some
of those appalled by the mass suicide questioned the philosophy behind
it. But Applewhite had foreseen this concern and he had explained the
seeming inconsistency in his teachings by drawing a comparison to the
Jewish sect at Masada in 73 AD, who were faced with violation and
violent death at the hands of their Roman besiegers and chose death by
their own hands as a dignified means of escaping the inevitable. In this
way he justified the willful exit of the body as a purposeful attempt
to reach the Kingdom of Heaven.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 598.203125px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Although
the tragedy of thirty-nine deaths caused by misguidance and
misunderstanding is terrible, there can be no doubting that the
charismatic and bizarre beliefs of Marshall Applewhite must be
acknowledged among the most disturbing.</span></div>

the mountain, give her water in the form of rain and snow. </span><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">But despite this, the ice is slowly melting. </span><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The reason for this may serve as a warming-up of the volcano, as well as global warming. </span><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Kilimanjaro are three volcanoes: Shira, Mawenzi and Kibo - all related to the complicated history of eruptions. </span><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">On
the lower slopes due to the large amount of precipitation are very lush
vegetation and that is where coffee and corn are grown, and with a
height of 3,000 meters thick rain forest begins. </span><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Because
the mountain is located near the equator, and because high-altitude

zones, existing on Earth.</span></span><br />

For the visitors, Marko Arnautovic made his first start for the club in place of Matthew Etherington.<br /><br />Arsenal had won their last six in all competitions going into the clash and they were ahead within five minutes through Ramsey.<br /><br />Ozil's free kick was parried away by Asmir Begovic and Ramsey followed up to finish at the near post and claim his fourth goal in three games.<br /><br />Stoke responded well, and they were level through Cameron after 26 minutes, with the American coolly slotting home from outside the area.<br /><br />Arnautovic saw his volleyed effort come back off the post, with the defender latching onto the rebound to put his side level.<br /><br />Parity lasted just 10 minutes, though, and as Arsenal pressed forward, they were rewarded once again with the lead when Mertesacker put them back in front nine minutes before the break with his first goal of the season.<br /><br />Ozil was the architect again as he swung in a corner and Germany international Mertesacker headed towards the far post, with the ball creeping in despite the efforts of the scrambling Begovic.<br /><br />Olivier Giroud forced an impressive save from Begovic seven minutes after the break, following good work from Gnabry, before the French striker curled an effort over from inside the area soon afterwards.<br /><br />Marc Wilson then had a sight on goal for Stoke just after the hour mark, but Wojciech Szczesny was equal to it and the Pole was soon required again, gathering a dangerous delivery from Steven N'Zonzi as the visitors applied pressure.<br /><br />However, Arsenal went two goals clear courtesy of another header after 72 minutes, with Sagna getting his name on the scoresheet as he met another Ozil delivery and looped his header over Begovic and into the far corner.<br /><br />Ozil was withdrawn to a standing ovation after 79 minutes, with Arteta on in his place, as Arsenal closed out the game to move top of the table. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jordan Ayew netted a late penalty to set up a nervous final few
minutes, but the Premier League side will fly home happy after a
confident performance in Europe</span></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="divAdnetKeyword">Arsene Wenger's men earned a win in their
last visit to the Stade Velodrome back in 2011, and they replicated they
feat on Wednesday, Walcott finding the net with a close-range volley
before Ramsey wrapped things up with a fine individual effort after the
break. <br /><br />Jordan Ayew grabbed a late consolation from the penalty spot for the hosts, but Arsenal held on to claim all three points. <br /><br />Elie
Baup made just one change to the Marseille side that drew 1-1 with
Toulouse on Saturday, Andre Ayew replacing Florian Thauvin on the
left-hand side of midfield.</span><span id="divAdnetKeyword">Arsenal's only alteration came in defence,
with manager Arsene Wenger - who has seen his side win five of their
last six competitive outings - opting to select the experienced Per
Mertesacker in favour of Carl Jenkinson.<br /><br />Marseille made a bright
start to proceedings with Andre-Pierre Gignac and Mathieu Valbuena both
testing Wojciech Szczesny in the early going.<br /><br />Arsenal responded
quickly however, Theo Walcott forcing Steve Mandanda into a save with a
close-range effort after beating left-back Jeremy Morel for pace.<br /><br />Still,
it was the hosts that continued to dictate play. Valbuena volleyed over
before Andre Ayew headed narrowly wide after an excellent right-wing
cross from Dimitri Payet.<br /><br />The visitors struggled to gain a
foothold in the midfield, with Valbuena and 21-year-old Giannelli Imbula
particularly impressive for Baup’s men.<br /><br />And Marseille almost got
their reward for a positive display shortly before the break, Gignac
heading just over the bar at the near post after powering onto a Payet
corner.<br /><br />Baup's side continued in the ascendancy straight after
the break, Rod Fanni volleying inches wide of the post after good work
down the right from Alaixys Romao.<br /><br />Arsenal remained an attacking
threat, though, and they almost took the lead in superb fashion, Kieran
Gibbs denied by a fantastic reaction save from Mandanda after latching
on to a deft backheel from Mesut Ozil.<br /><br />The game quickly became
stretched, with both sides crafting regular goalscoring opportunities,
Payet keeping Szczesny busy with a fierce drive, before Jack Wilshere
drew a near-post stop from Mandanda at the other end.<br /><br />Arsenal
never looked settled at the back, and they had Gibbs to thank for
keeping them level as he showed great awareness to head a Payet cross
off the line after miscommunication between Mertesacker and Szczesny.<br /><br />But Marseille were finally made to pay for their profligacy 19 minutes into the second half, <strong>Walcott</strong> firing a magnificent volley into the top corner after Morel had failed to deal with Gibbs' far-post cross.<br /><br />Payet
and Valbeuna both then went close as the Ligue 1 club searched for an
equaliser, but it was Arsenal who proved the more clinical of the two
sides, <strong>Ramsey</strong> securing the points as he jinked through the home defence before sending a precise low shot beyond the grasp of Mandanda.<br /><br />Marseille did get one back in injury time, though, <strong>Jordan Ayew</strong> scoring from 12 yards after Laurent Koscielny had felled Andre Ayew in the box. </span></span></span></h2>

<br /><strong>Note:</strong> Task Manager has tons of options and it's
difficult to explain each and everything in one article. In this article
we will talk about some basics and then in the future articles we will
see some advance options of it.<br />
<br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What are Applications, Processes And Services</strong></span><br /><br />Before going into details, it's necessary to understand the basic terminologies first to avoid the confusion.<br />
<br />1. <strong><em>Applications</em> --</strong> It's a program / software which you work on. (e.g. Word, Excel, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.)<br /><br />2. <strong><em>Services</em> --</strong> While
you are working on Windows, browsing Internet, Printing Documents etc.,
there are many things which are running in the background making it
possible for you to perform those tasks easily on your Computer. Those
background things are called <a href="http://www.omgureka.com/2013/03/what-are-windows-services.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c72b6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Windows Services</a>. (For more detail info regarding services, Read : <a href="http://www.omgureka.com/2013/03/what-are-windows-services.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c72b6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">What Are Windows Services</a>)<br />
<br />3. <strong><em>Processes</em> --</strong> Each application you open
in Windows create one or many processes. These processes run in the
background and helps the application to run properly in Windows. As soon
as you exit the application / software, all of its related processes
also get closed. But It's not necessary, for e.g. an antivirus software
or a backup program starts automatically when you turn on a PC and its
processes automatically run in the background without even opening the
software each time. These processes (which starts automatically) act
more like a service.<br />
<br />Processes and Services both run in the background, but have
different meaning and purpose. To keep things simple, just keep this
thing in mind that <em><strong>Services helps Processes to achieve the work which an Application is trying to do</strong></em>.<br />
<br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Why To Use Task Manager?</strong></span><br /><br />When you log in to Windows, there are <a href="http://www.omgureka.com/2013/04/Speed-Up-Windows-Startup-Time-Remove-Unwanted-Softwares.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c72b6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">many programs which starts at the startup</a> and <a href="http://www.omgureka.com/2013/04/Disable-Windows-Services-Which-Are-Not-Required-For-Performance-Boost.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c72b6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">many services which runs in the background</a> without
your knowledge. Each application / software you open in Windows also
creates one or many processes (tasks) in the background. Every PC has
some limitation, doesn't matter how much RAM you have or how fast your
Processor really is, you simply cannot run tons of software /
applications at a time on it.<br />
<br />At the beginning you will not face any trouble using your PC, but
after using Windows for some time (for many hours), you may feel some
lag or slowness (that depends how many softwares you are concurrently
working on). This may happen because all the services / processes which
are running in the background become insupportable by your PC's
hardware. When any particular windows service or process from a software
needs more resources from your PC and your Windows don't provide it
because of any reason, that may cause Unresponsiveness / Hanging /
Freezing Issue.<br />
<br /><strong>Note:</strong> PC can become unresponsive because of many
reasons, but most of the time it's because of Windows Services /
Application Processes. These problems can also occur because of Bad Hard
Disk, read : <a href="http://www.omgureka.com/2013/04/Identify-Problems-Related-To-Hard-Disk-Health.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c72b6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Identify Problems Related To Hard Disks Health</a>.<br />
<br />While working on Windows, if you feel any slowness,
unresponsiveness, freezing etc. problem, then the quickest thing is to
use the Task Manager utility. Using Task Manager, most of the time you
can resolve application conflicts and software freezing issues.</span></div>

order to quickly heal your PC from all the said problems.<br />
<br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Task Manager Basics -- Overview</strong></span><br /><br />Now
let me explain you the basics of the Task Manager (more like an
overview of it), which will help us to understand the advance features
of it which will be discussed in the future articles.<br />
<br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 13pt;"><strong>How To Open Task Manager</strong></span><br /><br />1. Traditional method to open Task Manager is by pressing <strong>CTRL+ALT+DEL</strong> and then selecting the <strong>Task Manager</strong> option from the Screen.</span></div>
<br /><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdE_6K_fz_yhiaWzW3XWqrIXwkfRE9SLRDKVUtqHD8tJuArb0YhYCD3dURWJ82SeCyLRslc7nIm9rFbLC0kLqw-bSOuaAj2BpOyqE3w9hJ5PWY56sOkXF4QGex9aC3V4WDA0uYXVUt3kA/s1600/background.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c72b6; list-style: none; margin: 0px 1em; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdE_6K_fz_yhiaWzW3XWqrIXwkfRE9SLRDKVUtqHD8tJuArb0YhYCD3dURWJ82SeCyLRslc7nIm9rFbLC0kLqw-bSOuaAj2BpOyqE3w9hJ5PWY56sOkXF4QGex9aC3V4WDA0uYXVUt3kA/s1600/background.jpg" style="border: none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; max-width: 600px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></a></span></div>

<br />2. The second method, which is quickest to achieve the same task is with the help of a keyboard shortcut. Press <strong>CTRL+SHIFT+ESC</strong> key and it will immediately bring the Task Manager window on the screen.<br />
<br />3. The third method which is not known to many people is, <strong>Right Click the Taskbar</strong> and select <strong>Start Task Manager</strong> option from the context menu.</div>

<div>
<br />It's up to you to use the method which is more easy to you to open the Task Manager utility in Windows.<br /><br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 13pt;"><strong>The Applications Tab</strong></span><br />
<br />At the Applications Tab in the Task Manger, it will show you the
list of those applications / softwares which are currently open in
Windows.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbARR1uFtCvDO91MTvKvplgQTc7KAq6eh7bVpuSDtcjiwLdezEv5lawZ0ps4Q-P_3gHbBHCWiRa4N5o16b9CabHdt86N-6WjAFFEDBFzh1406nP8ethaKXi6UhOQk5V3sm1-NIuA0gu_A/s1600/task-manager.jpg" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; max-width: 600px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div>
<div>
<br />This is the window from where you will kill those applications
which are unresponsive and destabilizing the Windows. Most of the time
it happens with our Web Browsers especially when we <a href="http://www.omgureka.com/2013/04/Problem-Wth-Multiple-Open-Browser-Tabs.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c72b6; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">open multiple tabs on it</a>,
it suddenly becomes slow or unresponsive. In that case, quickly open
the Task manager and look for the task which is showing as<strong> Not Responding</strong>. Select that task and then click <strong>End Task</strong> button.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg854scfHoRhDYBhmxd2AQononjFHVhJgrDgYSVZprsKHO3cP0Ke5BoUKp3hz2D8nDgDEGOJ3mK4NJo-RLRiikvSSyFH7AzvZQzMJS9ipiMhSm2NdJ3Y244kRKsIhC2FLaUkDYzqvJENjg/s1600/end-task.jpg" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; max-width: 600px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div>
<div>
<br />If it shows any warning message, simply click <strong>End Now</strong> button to close that application forcefully.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqLIbhpqpA2rfRQhXZQ5rRmyaZHMfbb07J4vHbZQR4FDGbOhrDgwLt2YUkA73Prp2SDUE76h54wFmDDUmi8yBQ0tWlH9O2-KEyuKwFrmL6h9rY5ZWdS7ILIoO5oNOrcMDMnJy2ag8_fAE/s1600/Windows-End-Program.png" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; max-width: 600px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1378773192931_4177">
<br /><strong>Note:</strong> Whenever
a software freezes / hangs, just leave your mouse and keyboard
immediately for the next 5 minutes and don't do anything. If your
computer doesn't respond and the application doesn't become stable /
normal by itself, then open the Task Manager and End that application by
following the method told above.<br />
<br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Last Words</strong></span><br /><br />In
this article I tried my best to explain you some complicated
terminologies which often confuses to many advanced users as well and
also explained how easily we can terminate any unresponsive task at the
Applications Tab of the Task Manager. In the next article we will
discuss other options of the Task Manager and will try to dig into more
advance features of it.<br />

Arsenal ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over Fenerbahce in Istanbul
on Wednesday night to put one foot in the group stages of the Champions
League.<br /><br />Second-half goals from Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and a
penalty from Olivier Giroud made sure of the win, with the Gunners now
firmly in the driving seat ahead of next week's second leg at the
Emirates Stadium.<br /><br />Arsene Wenger was forced into one change from
the opening day of the Premier League season with injury to Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain ruling him out of the trip to Turkey.<br /><br />Santi Cazorla replaced the England international with Lukas Podolski having to settle for a place on the bench.<br /><br />Fenerbahce
gave starts to new signings Bruno Alves and Michal Kadlec, while
another new arrival Emmanuel Emenike was named as a substitute.<br /><br />Having dominated the opening exchanges, Arsenal tested goalkeeper Volkan Demirel for the first time after 19 minutes.<br /><br />Cazorla
created the first opportunity for Walcott, his through-ball nearly
finding the forward, but Demirel slid in well to intercept.<br /><br />The loose ball fell to Tomas Rosicky and he delivered a perfect cross for Giroud but the striker’s header was just wide of goal.<br /><br />Fenerbahce were struggling to get into the game and failed to test Wojciech Szczesny in the opening half.<br /><br />Wenger's
early season injury problems continued just after the half hour when
Laurent Koscielny was forced off with a head injury.<br /><br />The French defender clashed with Pierre Webo and had to be replaced by Carl Jenkinson.<br /><br />The hosts began the second half at a much higher tempo but fell behind six minutes in as <strong>Gibbs</strong> scored a crucial away goal.<br /><br />Just after the hour, Arsenal doubled their lead thanks to Ramsey.<br /><br />He
received a pass from Jack Wilshere 35 yards from goal and moved at pace
towards the Fenerbahce defence. As he reached the penalty area, <strong>Ramsey</strong> fired a low shot into the bottom corner, although Demirel should have done better.<br /><br />The victory was secured with 14 minutes to play as Kadlec brought down Walcott inside the penalty area. <strong>Giroud</strong> made no mistake from the spot, sending Demirel the wrong way to complete a perfect night for Arsenal. </span></span></span></div>

is really hard to tell which animal is the most poisonous in the world.
The one that has the most toxic chemicals? The one that kills the
biggest amount of people a year? Or maybe the one with the biggest
amount of poison? First of all, I have to admit that the title is a bit
incorrect, because there is a difference between poisonous and venomous
animals. A poisonous animal carries harmful chemicals called toxins
primarily used for self defense. Therefore venomous animals deliver
their toxins by stinging, stabbing, or biting. So poisonous animals are
passive killers, while venomous animals are active killers.
Nevertheless, theory aside, they are all really dangerous. So look
really closely at each photo, cause next time you meet them can be the
last thing you ever see.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></div>

Fish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on earth (the first one
is golden dart Frog). The meat of some species is a delicacy in both
Japan (as fugu) and Korea (as bok-uh) but the problem is that the skin
and certain organs of many puffer fish are very poisonous to humans.

causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, rapid
heart rate, difficulty breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims die from
suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed. Most of the victims die
after four to 24 hours. There is no known antidote, Most deaths from
fugu happen when untrained people catch and prepare the fish. Statistics
show that there were 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning per year
between 1996 and 2006 in all of Japan and up to six incidents per year
led to death.

frogs ?it can be the Poison Dart Frog. This frog is probably the most
poisonous animal on earth.The 2 inch long (5cm) golden poison dart frog
has enough venom to kill 10 adult humans or 20,000 mice. Only 2
micrograms of this lethal toxin (the amount that fits on the head of a
pin) is capable of killing a human or other large mammal. They are

Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria) or banana spider appears in the
Guinness Book of World Records 2007 for the most venomous spider and is
the spider responsible for most human deaths. This spider is believed
to have the most potent neurotoxic venom of any living spider. Only
0.006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill a mouse. They are also so
dangerous because of their wandering nature. They often hide during
daytime in highly populated areas inside houses, clothes, boots, and
cars. Its venomous bite causes not only intense pain, the venom of the
spider can also cause priapism ?uncomfortable erections lasting for many
hours that lead to impotence.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></div>

World Most Venomous Fish? Its venom causes such a severe pain that the
victims of its sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is
described as the worst pain known to man. It is accompanied with
possible shock, paralysis, and tissue death. If not given medical
attention within a couple of hours It can be fatal to humans. Stonefish
stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt
would-be predators. Stonefish mostly live above the tropic of Capricorn,
often found in the shallow tropical marine waters of the Pacific and
Indian oceans, ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great Barrier

to the popular belief most of the scorpions are relatively harmless to
humans as stings produce only local effects (pain, numbness or
swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is highly dangerous
species because its venom is a powerful cocktail of neurotoxins which
causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever, followed by coma,
convulsions, paralysis and death. Fortunately, while a sting from this
scorpion is extremely painful, it would be unlikely to kill a healthy,
adult human. Young children, the old, or infirm (with a heart condition)
are at the biggest risk. Death stalker scorpions are spread in North
Africa and Middle East .</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></div>

it is that jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human
victims go in shock, drown or die of heart failure before even reaching
shore. Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box
jellies. You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting,
unless treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for
a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" /><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1375056710268_5907" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">The
fast-charging device is a so-called supercapacitor, a gizmo that can
pack a lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and holds its
charge for a long time.</span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1375056710268_5909" style="color: #333333; display: inline; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br />What's
more, it can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared with
1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries, according to Eesha
Khare of Saratoga, Calif.<br />
<br />"My cellphone battery always dies," she told NBC News when asked
what inspired her to work on the energy-storage technology.
Supercapacitors also allowed her to focus on her interest in
nanochemistry — "really working at the nanoscale to make significant
advances in many different fields."<br />
<br />To date, she has used the supercapacitor to power a light-emitting
diode, or LED. The invention's future is even brighter. She sees it
fitting inside cellphones and the other portable electronic devices that
are proliferating in today's world, freeing people and their gadgets
for a longer time from reliance on electrical outlets.<br />
<br />"It is also flexible, so it can be used in rollup displays and
clothing and fabric," Khare added. "It has a lot of different
applications and advantages over batteries in that sense."<br /><br />CREDIT: John Roach NBC News<br />

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1374798469252_5068">"Houston, Tranquility in touch.

11 minutes and 53 seconds the rocket was launched into low Earth
circular orbit at an altitude 190.8 km., After a few turns around the
Earth ship went to the moon.</span></span><br />

expedition consisted of three men, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and
Edwin Aldrin, all astronauts have traveled 2,389,768 miles, having spent
8 days in space, 3 hrs and 18 minutes, landing in the Pacific Ocean
July 24, 1969, where they waited for the aircraft carrier U.S. Navy -
Hornet. </span>During the flight, the capsule is strictly kept his course, and required only one adjustment, although it was planned four. 2. <span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1374798469252_5071">After
starting the vehicle went into the valley of the Sea of Tranquility,
the valley is of great interest to geologists because </span>there were steep cliffs, rolling hills, and a large pile of stones. Thus astronauts will take samples of volcanic rocks relatively young and older, rocks at once. 3. <span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1374798469252_5103">Buggy or Lunar Rover, the car got to the moon first time the Apollo 15 flight. </span>Buggy has a length of 3.1 m, height 1.12 m, weight was only 204 kg. in the world, or 34 kg. at the Lunar gravity load capacity is 450 kg at the Earth's gravity. Left
in front of the high-frequency antenna is located next to it - the
camera, next to the driver's feet was a second antenna for low
frequency, and next to it a second camera.<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1374798469252_5104">The
seats recline beneath them were two small boxes for the collection of
rocks, buggy controlled by the joystick, which was located between the
seats in the rear of the car was a tool for collecting rocks and drill,
just in case, the antenna back - another camera. </span>By the way, all cameras have made about 2,100 images on the Moon, and 22 hours, 4 minutes of video, 4. After a 2 hour 31 minutes and 40 seconds spent on the moon, the astronauts began to gather ago.Altogether, 21.55 kg of lunar rock samples. Now,
in the Mission Control Center you can touch the moon, by the way, are
available to the public only 8 stones that can be touched. The stone age 3.8 million years. 5. Altogether during the expedition to the moon brought back to Earth 382 kg. rocks from 6 different points of the moon. Research papers have enhanced the understanding of the history of the Earth and the Solar System. 6. Stone on the left is taken from the moon during the Apollo 15 expedition. <span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1374798469252_5072">They write that the stone was formed 4 billion years ago when a meteorite hit, at high temperature and pressure. </span>Stone contains many minerals. Black cube next to the rock indicates minerals, which are part of the breed. Right - a piece of lava. 7. 8. Different elements in pure form, are present in a large amount of stone. 9. By the way, privezennyx rocks were found some of the minerals that are not found on Earth.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Giroud grabs first-half hat-trick in friendly rout</span></span></h1>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Frenchman, apparently unruffled by reports linking the
Gunners to Gonzalo Higuain and Luis Suarez, took his pre-season tally to
five as Jack Wilshere made his bow</span></span></h2>

<span id="divAdnetKeyword">
<a href="http://www.goal.com/en/people/france/33491/olivier-giroud" target="_blank">Olivier Giroud</a> bagged a first-half hat-trick as <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/teams/england/94/arsenal" target="_blank">Arsenal</a> continued their pre-season tour of Asia with a 7-1 annihilation of Vietnam in Hanoi.<br /><br />Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chuba Akpom and Ignasi Miquel also found the net
against the international minnows, while Jack Wilshere made his first
appearance of the season from the bench.</span><span id="divAdnetKeyword">Arsene Wenger made five changes to the side
which demolished the Indonesia XI on Sunday, with Bacary Sagna filling
in at centre-back and Lukas Podolski and Giroud up front.<br /><br />And inside five minutes they took the lead, with Tomas Rosicky dinking the ball cleverly in behind for <strong>Giroud</strong>, who smashed the ball low into the bottom corner.<br /><br />Despite
their obvious superiority, the Gunners looked lethargic and even a
little jaded at times, and only Vietnam’s lack of attacking quality
prevented them encountering more problems.<br /><br />But in attack Arsene
Wenger’s men were creating chances at will, and on 19 minutes Podolski
headed over when found by Serge Gnabry’s inviting cross.<br /><br />Nine
minutes later the lively Gnabry’s incisive pass put Podolski clean
through, but after dodging past two challenges, Giroud failed to read
the German’s pass and the chance went begging.<br /><br />Five minutes
before the break Podolski went even closer, lashing against the post
from the edge of the area, with Gnabry seeing his low first-time rebound
beaten away.<br /><br />Arsenal were playing well within themselves against
the side languishing in 145th in the Fifa rankings, but two goals in
three minutes before half-time put them firmly in control.<br /><br />On 44 minutes <strong>Giroud</strong>
capitalised on a poor defensive clearance to curl the ball superbly
into the corner, and two minutes later he raced onto
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s slide-rule pass to dink in.<br /><br />Having completed his hat-trick the Frenchman was withdrawn at the break, but Arsenal showed no mercy in the second half.<br /><br />It took barely a minute for substitute Theo Walcott to surge forward down the right and square the ball for <strong>Oxlade-Chamberlain</strong>, who curled the ball first time into the top corner.<br /><br />Only 10 minutes later the Gunners were at it again – this time Aaron Ramsey dinked the ball through for <strong>Akpom</strong>, and Giroud’s replacement slotted calmly into the bottom corner.<br /><br />Just
before the hour mark the youngster had his second, tapping into an
empty net after Oxlade-Chamberlain had strolled through a non-existent
Vietnamese defence and squared the ball.<br /><br />On 66 minutes Wilshere replaced Oxlade-Chamberlain, and eight minutes later the Gunners grabbed their seventh, as <strong>Miquel</strong> swept home after a neat exchange of passes with Ramsey in the penalty area.<br /><br />Some 12 minutes from time Vietnam got themselves an unlikely consolation, as substitute <strong>Tran Manh Dung</strong> finished off a flowing counterattack with a slightly scuffed finish which looped into the net.<br /><br />At the other end, substitute goalkeeper <strong>Tran Buu Ngoc</strong> saw red for handling outside his area late on, and Arsenal comfortably saw out the win.<br /> </span>
