Religion the number one cause of poverty!

One of the things religion provides to the human spirit is hope. Prayer is a refuge for people who are failing but aren't ready to despair. Obviously, the wealthy are more likely to be content with their state and less likely to feel they need supernatural help to accomplish things. Those already content with life perceive less need for religion to inspire them. If they think about it at all, they decide that God must be on their side already, and maybe they remember to thank him.

I think people stay in poverty for one of two reasons: their own incompetence, or lack of opportunity.

Often when the cause is their own incompetence, people in poverty take the "Jesus do it for me" approach and do nothing themselves to climb out. In that case I don't believe it's fair to blame the religion for their condition. But when the cause is lack of opportunity, it's often the case that those who deny them opportunity encourage a theology that teaches them to be content to be poor. It still isn't religion that causes the poverty -- religion merely provides a rational excuse for what would otherwise be obvious injustice.

So I guess I'd conclude that religion facilitates laziness which cause poverty,then in turn poverty causes more religion. and the circle keeps going ..this behavior is called hopend !

I routinely check out the latest gallup polls, and they often have ones about religion.  I just saw this one:

People were asked if religion played an important part in their daily lives, the dark green states said yes with rates as high as 85% saying yes, and the lightest states said no with rates as low as half of that saying religion was important to their daily lives.

Out of curiosity I wondered what the poverty rates were in the dark and light regions and guessed there would be some kind of correlation.  So I googled it and the first map I found (from the CDC) indicating poverty geographically showed this:

 Notice any sort of correlation?

Now three things can be deduced from this:

One, it's a random fluke.  Unlikely, but possible.

Two, it indicates that religion causes poverty.

Or three, it indicates that poverty promotes religious adherence.

I think it's a combination of 2 and 3.  I think that religion generally throws a monkey wrench into society when politicians use it to get elected, swindle their constituents and ignore their needs, and I think - actually make that I know that sadness and pain and kittens dying etc promotes religious adherence.  There is almost always an up-tick in church attendance and other social indicators of religious adherence whenever there is a disaster.  Bear in mind homicide rates and pregnancies go up as well, religion isn't the only way people cope with bad times.

The reason this is important is because it puts religion not in the realm of something we objectively know or can verify or can independently conclude, but rather in the realm of human psychology.  Religious devotion isn't caused by god reaching down from heaven and touching your soul, it is caused by your upbringing, culture and life experiences.  If god called out to all people and everyone "knew god in their hearts" as many evangelists claim, or the evidence for christianity is abundantly obvious as many creationists insist, then there would not be correlations like this, and poverty, disasters and geography wouldn't determine religious belief.  But they do.

Miracle Pill to Stop Aging!

A Russian scientist says he has beaten the problem of aging and in just a few years the medicine that stops it will go on sale.

Professor Vladimir Skulachev says he managed to find an anti-oxidant that stops the gradual deterioration of health caused by age.

It looks complicated and it certainly is. For Vladimir Skulachev it is almost a life's work. Two more years of testing and the doctor thinks he will have finally cracked the enigma of aging.

Apparently it's all about how oxygen reacts in the body.

“99% of the time oxygen turns into harmless water, but there's that one percent that turns into a super-oxide that later turns into very poisonous elements,” Vladimir Skulachev, Professor of Bioenergetics, reveals. “So the task was to find an anti-oxidant that stops that process.”

And hence, according to the professor, it would also stop people from getting old.

He has been working to prefect his treatment for more than 40 years. The difficult part of the process has been to try and prevent any side-effects, he notes.

Colleagues around the world think Dr Skulachev is on to something.

Nobel Prize winner Dr. Gunter Blobel, M.D., Ph.D. at Rockefeller University, believes Skulachev’s theories look very realistic.

“It has been shown that oxidative damage is huge. But we do not have an anti-oxidant of the type that Skulachev has developed. He coined the term bioenergetics. He is clearly the world’s best bio-chemist and bio-energetic scientist,” Blobel stated.

The compound has already undergone animal testing and the results appear promising.

Rats that have been given the drug are much more lively than those not treated.

“Finally, we hope that we will manage to convince people that a single pill treats many threats of aging. So, it must be doing something with the aging itself,” Maksim Skulachev Cand. Sc. (Biology) explains. “Then, if authorities will accept this logic, maybe we could somehow market it as anti-aging drug.”

After success with eye drops in animals, the inventor tried the medicine on his own cataract.

Six months later, his physician told him his cataract was gone.

Thousands are queuing to take part in the clinical trials, which have just begun. But it will be a few years before Dr Skulachev's discovery reaches the shelves of an average pharmacy.

Some have already dubbed the drug a panacea. And if it lives up to its promise, the treatment should have an effect on the diseases of aging and bring with it the prospect of a longer and better quality of life.

Apple TV could destroy console gaming

Earlier this week, Nat Brown, one of the original Xbox team members at Microsoft, wrote a piece on the present and future of gaming, and Apple's potential to shape it.
   A game-enabled Apple HDTV or set-top box would be the death of console gaming as we know it, according to the man who co-founded Microsoft's Xbox.

In a post on his personal blog, entitled "Stupid, Stupid Xbox!" Nat Brown bemoaned the lack of opportunities for third-party game developers to make money in the console world, like they can on iOS and Android.
He said if Apple chooses to bring its App Store success to any forthcoming TV-related projects, developers would jump on board and it could wipe out the likes of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.
He said: "Apple, if it chooses to do so, will simply kill Playstation, Wii U, and Xbox by introducing an open 30 per cent cut app/game ecosystem for Apple TV," wrote Brown, who claims to have named the Xbox back in the day.

Ecosystem not growing

Brown added that Microsoft's biggest problem going forward is the lack of a developing ecosystem that allows devs to create games for Xbox with inexpensive equipment.
"I will be the first to write apps for Apple TV when I can, and I know I'll make money. I would for Xbox if I could and I knew I would make money," he vowed.
"Xbox's primary critical problem is the lack of a functional and growing platform ecosystem for small developers to sell digitally/network-distributed (non-disc) content through to the installed base of Xbox customers, period.
"Why can't I write a game for Xbox tomorrow using $100 worth of tools and my existing Windows laptop and test it on my home Xbox or at my friends' houses? Why can't I then distribute it digitally in a decent online store... like I can for Android or iPhone, or for iPad?"
Brown pointed out that Microsoft charges console developers $10,000 a year to publish games on the platform and demands a ton of paperwork is filed alongside that massive chunk of wonga, virtually ruling small developers out of embracing the platform.

Do you think Apple has the ability to take over our living room gaming activities even with the Xbox 720 and PS4 on the horizon? Let us know in the comments section below.

Why do Fathers Love their Daughters More & Mothers their Sons?

It's natural for men to compete with each other, but it's usually healthy competition. Boys look up to their fathers, but also compete with them as the alpha-male of the household. This is a natural and subconscious response. Boys feel less threatened by their mothers and so are more apt to share more with their mothers, especially in the area of feelings. This makes mothers and Sons closer than Fathers and Sons. The same goes with bringing Fathers and Daughters closer together

According to Freud, children go through a phase of attachments to the opposite sex parent which is called "oedipal complex", based on the ancient Greek story of Oedipus who ended up unknowingly killing his father and marrying his mother.
Basically the little boy is "in love" with his mommy until he realizes that daddy won't let him take her away so the boy redirects his desire from his mom to other women.

This theory was very rough then and has been refined and reviewed almost beyond recognition many times. But yeah girls do go through a phase where daddy's the best man in the world and boys through a phase where mommy's the most beautiful.

In the early days of psychology, Sigmund Freud developed a unique conception of how the child’s personality develops.

Freud theorized that child development occurs in three distinct phases: the oral stage, the anal stage and the phallic stage. The Oedipus and Electra complexes occur at a subconscious level within boys and girls respectively, during the phallic stage of development.

The Oedipus Complex

The Oedipus complex argues that the young boy desires his mother as a love interest. According to Freud, "Unfortunately for the boy, his father stands in the way of his love. The boy therefore feels aggression and envy towards this rival, his father, and also feels fear that the father will strike back at him." The boy expects that he will punished by his father, for his desire, by being castrated.

This anxiety is exacerbated when the boy realizes that girls have no penis; he assumes that they have had their penis removed as a punishment. The boy realizes that he cannot possess his mother and place himself opposite his father as a rival; instead he learns that he must possess another female and identify with his father.

The Electra Complex

The Electra complex acts as the female equivalent of the Oedipus complex states that the young girl is attached to the mother, like the young boy. This is not surprising, as the mother tends to be the primary caregiver and object of desire.

Upon realizing that the she, as all women, has no penis and subsequently she suffers "penis envy." Like the boy in the Oedipus complex, "the girl learns her role by identifying with her mother in an attempt to possess her father vicariously."

Fixation in Freud's Child Development Theory

As with the other stages in the child’s development, fixation that occurs at the phallic stage may produce certain characteristics, in this case: "a phallic character, who is reckless, resolute, self-assured, and narcissistic – excessively vain and proud." The failure to resolve the conflict can also cause a person to be afraid or incapable of close love.

Freud postulated that fixation at the phallic stage could be a root cause of homosexuality.

Today's View of the Oedipus and Electra Complex

Although both the Oedipus and Electra complexes have been subjected to harsh criticism, especially from feminists, Freud’s influence does seem to echo throughout adult life in terms of male and female characteristics and behaviors.

Boys learn that they must become like their father, who is stereotypically aggressive, ambitious, powerful, and in direct contrast to his mother, who is stereotypically passive, obedient and nurturing.

As the boy learns to identify with his father, the girl learns to identify with the mother. As such, the way that both the boy and the girl come to relate to their mother and father, by way of the Oedipus and Electra complexes, will determine their behaviors and affect their relationships in later life.

Apples next gadget iwatch ! the apple keeps falling.

yeah you heard me right iWATCH !!

               It is believed to be Apple's next big thing - yet the secretive firm has not made a single comment about it..

However, that hasn't stopped people around the world speculating on exactly what an 'iWatch' might look like and how it would work.

Designers have even revealed their take on Apple's new 'smart watch' with professional looking mockups of the device, ranging from a glass cuff to a 'claw' design.

How the iWatch might look and work: Yrving Torrealba's translucent concept is made from a new type of flexible glass

The rumours started when Chinese websites reported in December that the computer giant is working with chip-maker Intel on a wrist-worn gadget.

It is thought to have a 1.5inch screen and uses Bluetooth to communicate with other devices, which could include an iPhone.

The 'iWatch' will go on sale at some point this year, the report claimed. Chinese site Tech.163 said Intel has developed a Smart Watch that Apple is interested in.The rumours come after an independent attempt to create a smart watch, called Pebble, became a huge success online.

Its inventors used Kickstarter to try and raise $10,000 so they could develop it - but instead raised $10million, and hope to begin production soon.

'Pebble is the first watch built for the 21st century,' say its creators. 'It's infinitely customizable, with beautiful downloadable watch faces and useful internet-connected apps.

     Here are some concepts of the supposedly iwatch

what do u think guys?

10 ways to spend money

Everyday Things

This does not mean that we should give the last pants for the new iPhone. Things that you use every day, in reasonable order, must be purchased and updated. Not to save on your home desktop computer that will slow down and reduce your productivity, do not buy cheap Glasses, which will break in the first month. Avaricious pays twice or even three times.

Health

They say money cannot buy good health, but that does not mean that you are not to spend to improve it. Regular exercise in the room, exactly as home inventory, requires a cost. Therefore, part of the budget must be allocated monthly to maintain yourself in biological shape. other then feeling old age earlier than expected.

The moral and physical recreation

Work without vacation is of course very cool and an honor, but are you thinking about your internal resources? are they infinite. Decided to make all the money? Watch out otherwise you would end up working in order to buy medication for physical and nervous exhaustion. Take a rest in the manner you like to!, do not skimp on this kind of activity. And then again in the fight with renewed vigor.

Travel

This point echoes the previous one, because this and that equal vacation. But traveling is also a method of understanding the world, and others, after all - oneself. Trips to other countries sometimes are not cheap, but worth, its wrong to consider it as thrown out money to the wind....well i think not. Late in life to realize that in addition to your city, you have only visited your mothers village would be a painful revelation. At least once every 2 years collect your bags and hit the road.

Talents and skills

If you consider yourself a strong expert and connoisseur of all things, it is certainly fine, but not always the case. Rather, you are a man with a swollen sense of self-importance.A person always has to mingle and needs to develop. Sign up for a course professor, learn some foreign language, visit specialized seminars. Of course, a good knowledge and lessons cost money. But hey! that's an investment on itself , and thus useful.


Homemaking

Home - this is your fortress and refuge. If winter finds it's way into your shelter through a hole in the window, then your window needs a repair (it's just that simple). And you must agree, it is better to splurge once, for example, a washing machine, rather than hand wash my stuff and lose a lot of time.

Gifts

Buy good gifts for friends and loved ones. After all, to give joy to your loved one is probably the most noble investment.

Wardrobe

Update your wardrobe - it does not mean that you need buy up all new staff you see on the market . But to walk in the old, worn-out things will not work. People in the modern world, unfortunately,judge by dress code . Create the first impression - very important, therefore, to spare the money for it is not necessary. And do not forget to pat you new shirt for the interview ;)

Correction / repair

Do not ride in the winter bald summer tires - replace. Do not wait for virus attacks, buy antivirus. Do not put off "for later" repair and replacement of things that, in the end, will break down at the worst possible moment. Fix it all at once, rather than later when it will require more effort, money and time.

Normal food

Like a hamburger for $ 1? Wriggling on juice and drink cheap soda? Prepare money for the treatment of gastritis and other muck. Why feed yourself constantly cheap and low-quality food? You're not a pig and certainly not your enemy.
