We’ve written about currency wars, the demise of the U.S. dollar , Goldman Sachs, etc. over the past year  (see March 2009 for several pieces on China, plans to dump the dollar, etc.).

But this video says it all.  It’s a passionate plea for people to WAKE UP and recognize what is happening in Europe and what is going to befall the U.S.  We have been handed over to the big bankers and are more concerned about watching a lot of reality TV shows and dancing fools, rather than paying attention as our economic security goes down the drain.

The brutal truth is that the the same bunch (IMF, World Bank) that has impoverished many developing countries with their “loans” and harsh demands has its sights on Europe. Iceland was the first to suffer.  Ireland is now losing its sovereignty.  Portugal? SPAIN??  Then what??

And all  meant to pad the pockets of the elite with the hard-earned money of the little people and for them to garner complete control over our lives…. It’s not just about Ireland, it’s about US, too!

Nobody voted for these people…as Corr says, this is about the privatization of money…our money…it is about theft.

He warns about many things….listen, if you have been fearing about “crackdowns.”

Surprise, Surprise: Our Goldman Sachs Buddies Are Knee Deep in the Greek Debt Crisis

~~By InsightAnalytical-GRL

Well, here we go again!

Goldman Sachs had a role in creating the current debt crisis in Greece. Why am I not surprised?

From Spiegel Online International:

How Goldman Sachs Helped Greece to Mask its True Debt

Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government to mask the true extent of its deficit with the help of a derivatives deal that legally circumvented the EU Maastricht deficit rules. At some point the so-called cross currency swaps will mature, and swell the country’s already bloated deficit.

Now, though, it looks like the Greek figure jugglers have been even more brazen than was previously thought. “Around 2002 in particular, various investment banks offered complex financial products with which governments could push part of their liabilities into the future,” one insider recalled, adding that Mediterranean countries had snapped up such products.

Apparently Italy also hid its real debt, but with another U.S. bank which isn’t named in the article.

The article continues:

Greece’s debt managers agreed a huge deal with the savvy bankers of US investment bank Goldman Sachs at the start of 2002. The deal involved so-called cross-currency swaps in which government debt issued in dollars and yen was swapped for euro debt for a certain period — to be exchanged back into the original currencies at a later date.

Fictional Exchange Rates

Such transactions are part of normal government refinancing. Europe’s governments obtain funds from investors around the world by issuing bonds in yen, dollar or Swiss francs. But they need euros to pay their daily bills. Years later the bonds are repaid in the original foreign denominations.

But in the Greek case the US bankers devised a special kind of swap with fictional exchange rates. That enabled Greece to receive a far higher sum than the actual euro market value of 10 billion dollars or yen. In that way Goldman Sachs secretly arranged additional credit of up to $1 billion for the Greeks.

This credit disguised as a swap didn’t show up in the Greek debt statistics. Eurostat’s reporting rules don’t comprehensively record transactions involving financial derivatives. “The Maastricht rules can be circumvented quite legally through swaps,” says a German derivatives dealer.

“Fictional exchange rates.”  Incredible.

But not surprising if you’ve followed the recent actions and attitude of Goldman Sachs. You know, the guys who talk about “morality in the marketplace”…

Goldman Sachs Chairman & CEO Says Company Is Part of a “Virtuous Cycle” With a “Social Purpose” Even as It Apparently Moves Markets in “Miraculous” Ways (SEC, Where Are You?)

~~By InsightAnalytical-GRL

A couple of weeks ago we brought you this little ditty about how some executive at Goldman Sachs explained how moral the marketplace is (See: This Would Be the Laugh of the Day if It Weren’t So Aggravating: Pious Rationalizations About “Morality in the Marketplace” from Our Buddies at Goldman Sachs (Posted 10/21/2009).

Goldman Sachs’s Griffiths Says Inequality Helps All

A Goldman Sachs International adviser defended compensation in the finance industry as his company plans a near-record year for pay, saying the spending will help boost the economy.

“We have to tolerate the inequality as a way to achieve greater prosperity and opportunity for all,” Brian Griffiths, who was a special adviser to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, said yesterday at a panel discussion at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The panel’s discussion topic was, “What is the place of morality in the marketplace?”

Goldman Sachs Group Inc., based in New York, set aside $16.7 billion for compensation and benefits in the first nine months of 2009, up 46 percent from a year earlier and enough to pay each worker $527,192 for the period. The amount set aside this year is just shy of the all-time high $16.9 billion allocated in the first three quarters of 2007. Goldman Sachs spokesman Michael DuVally in New York declined to comment.  (MORE)

Now, we’re in for ANOTHER treat from the grand poobahs at Goldman…From The Sunday Times (U.K.) profile on Goldman’s chairman and CEO, Lloyd Blankfein:

November 8, 2009

I’m doing ‘God’s work’. Meet Mr Goldman Sachs

John Arlidge

Luckily for him and his firm, he’s a damn good salesman. He starts with a little humility. He understands that “people are pissed off, mad, and bent out of shape” at bankers’ actions. Goldman played its part in the meltdown that almost destroyed the global financial system. It, like most other banks, lent too much money, made its first quarterly loss for more than a decade last year and ended up taking bail-out cash from Washington. “I know I could slit my wrists and people would cheer,” he says. But then, he slowly begins to argue the case for modern banking. “We’re very important,” he says, abandoning self-flagellation. “We help companies to grow by helping them to raise capital. Companies that grow create wealth. This, in turn, allows people to have jobs that create more growth and more wealth. It’s a virtuous cycle.” To drive home his point, he makes a remarkably bold claim. “We have a social purpose.”

Social purpose? Those who have lost their jobs or seen their pay slashed thanks to bankers who flogged dodgy mortgages and dreamt up investments so complex not even they understood them, would gladly tell him where to stick his social purpose…

This piece goes on for 7 web pages and gets deep into the secretive Goldman Sach spider web and its political force, so it’s worth taking your time to rummage through it all.

Meanwhile, over at one of my favorite sites, Chris Martenson has been doing some analysis in a piece out on 11/6/200 titled “Market Recap – Ridiculous Productivity“. The start of the piece takes a look at Goldman Sach’s pattern of amazing level of investment success in the current financial markets (italics mine). (And, just for the record, Goldman Sachs profit last quarter was $3.2 billion and the average pay of the 30,000 on staff is going to be around $700,000 this year with top earners making LOTS more…)

After digging around and sifting through the things both said and not said, I have come to the conclusion that what we are seeing are the likely effects of a rescue operation.

By this I mean a large injection of stabilizing cash to one or more parties, possibly related to the recent large bankruptcies.  Two of my friends, who have been actively trading for more than 20 years between them, threw in the towel this week, as their patterns and methods are no longer working.

Their conclusion is the same as mine; this market is not trading like it used to.  It is trading chaotically, counterintuitively, and as if there’s some sort of distorting influence involved.

First, we might just wonder if this isn’t the impact of a rogue firm with entirely too much power moving the market for its own benefit.

When we examine the results of Goldman’s latest quarterly trading results, obviously we have a strong suspect.

He quotes from a piece discussing how Goldman Benefits from Trading Bonanza and concludes:

Only one day with trading losses out of the entire quarter?  A 98.5% win-rate?  Sorry folks, this is so far beyond the realm of statistically possible that we must search for other reasons.  There can be no doubt that Goldman is enjoying an advantage not shared by the rest of the market.

He has a chart up which shows some of the shenaigans in the market following certain data reports.  But there’s one market move in particular that seems to have resulted from perhaps a bit of advance knowledge?

We see the volatility as the market first surged on the GDP report and then slumped the day after.  Then there was a spike on the ISM (mfg) data that also gave up the gains shortly thereafter.  Then we had the FOMC follies where the market looked like an EKG of a heart attack victim for a while before finally slumping away all the day’s gains.Today’s [Friday, November 6] 200 point Dow spree was said to be due to favorable unemployment data and excellent productivity gains, but if you were watching the overnight futures, you noticed that the lift-off actually began at 3:00 a.m.  As a trader, I am quite familiar with this pattern.  When large futures gains are recorded beginning at 3:00, you can nearly always count on those gains holding through the day.

Inquiring minds would like to know how the future traders seemingly know about the excellent economic news that has not yet been released.  Hello, SEC?  I have a job for you.

Well, apparently, part of doing God’s work involves getting a nice leg-up so that markets can move in miraculous ways.

It’s clear that while Goldman Sachs is apparently the OTHER “chosen one” (with Barack Obama the one placed in the White House), the rest of us who are trying to restore our personal wealth so that we’ll be able to eat during our golden years are plainly stuck somewhere near hell…

Globalization/U.S. Decline Right on Schedule Courtesy Obama Backdown…Summer 2010 Projected Completion of Integration of NAFTA with EU to Counter BRIC/ASEAN Bloc

~~By InsightAnalytical-GRL

A couple of days ago I posted some thoughts on “Globalization in Pictures: Courtesy AT & T”.

Then I stumbled across an update of a something far more “under the radar” that I had found back in March of 2009. See below for the link to that post, specifically the section titled “Canada-EU Free Trade?”

The gist of that tidbit from March follows:

Friday I received the daily newsletter from Radio Canada International and once again there were squibs included that I couldn’t find at either the RCI site or when I searched around the CBC’s news area.

Read these with an eye to several posts that will be starting tomorrow, with American Lassies’s post entitled “THE PROPOSED NORTH AMERICAN COMMUNITY/NORTH AMERICAN UNION: 2010 Is Just Around the Corner.”

Canada and the European Union have agreed on a framework for negotiation of a free-trade accord after six months of discussions. Canadian Trade Minister Stockwell Day says the two parties will discuss goods and services, investment rules, intellectual property and free circulation of workers. The minister says Canada’s provinces will take part in the negotiations. Bilateral trade last year was worth $90 billion, an increase of seven per cent over 2007.

Well, guess what? Things have been moving along…and  include MORE than Canada and the EU.

Plotting the biggest trade deal of the 21st century

Tax-free Champagne, anyone?

European and North American politicians are plotting the biggest trade deal of the 21st century: a $35 trillion, duty-free region encompassing the E.U., the U.S., Canada, and Mexico

by Erik Heinrich, contributor
Last Updated: October 29, 2009: 2:17 PM ET

TORONTO (Fortune) — Not even Franz Kafka could have dreamed this one up.

This past spring, prime ministers Stephen Harper of Canada and Mirek Topolanek of the Czech Republic met with European Union mandarins from Brussels. The setting was Prague’s medieval castle — made famous by Kafka in what is perhaps the darkest novel in his moody oeuvre — where they hatched a plan for the biggest free-trade deal of the 21st century.

How could a development of this magnitude result from a fairly routine conference between Canada and the EU? (At the time, the Czech Republic was responsible for the trading bloc’s presidency, which rotates between member states every six months.) The short answer is that after decades of spinning their wheels, Canada and the EU finally agreed to begin negotiating a free-trade agreement (FTA).

Immediately after declaring these talks as “hatching” the plans for “the biggest free-trade deal of the 21st century,” the reporter immediately shifts gears:

That’s far from a Bond-villain plot for world domination. But fast forward to last week in Ottawa, Canada, where the first round of Canada-EU negotiations reached a successful conclusion, with both sides optimistic that a deal can be signed as early as the summer of 2010.

Wow, I’m so relieved! No “plot for world domination” here!

But it all boils down to trying to save the neck of the U.S. apparently (my bolding):

When that happens, a push will begin for the ultimate goal behind the Prague agreement: a NAFTA-EU trade zone to counterbalance the growing economic power of Fortress Asia, and the ascendancy of the so-call BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) group of countries.

“The U.S. will lose its leadership position in trade unless it comes up with a new strategy,” says Steven Schrage, a specialist in international business at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington. “It makes sense to integrate NAFTA with the EU.”

Annual two-way trade between Canada and EU is about $100 billion, less than 20% of the total between Canada and the U.S. under NAFTA. But a trans-Atlantic NAFTA-EU trade zone would encompass nearly 1 billion people and account for $35.2 trillion in annual GDP, more than half the world’s total.

The article continues by noting that  China, India, and the 10 ASEAN nations (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) are “not standing still.” Our buddies at Goldman Sachs opine that “by 2050 the world’s three biggest economies will be China, the U.S. and India in that order, compared to the U.S., Japan and Germany today. That represents a clear shift away from the G7.”

A NAFTA-EU trade deal may get stiff opposition here in the U.S.  Why?

However with protectionist sentiment in the U.S. gaining momentum, helped in part by President Obama’s controversial Buy-American position, getting the world’s biggest economy to expand its free-trade frontier could be an uphill battle. At least for the near term.

But wait a minute…

Marc Ambinder in The Atlantic provided a transcript of Obama’s musings in his piece of February 3, 2009 titled  Obama Wants “Buy American” Out Of Stimulus Bill and you can find more stories on the “back down” below!

So, the Fortune report seems to have “forgotten” what went on in February.  Which begs the question–how “uphill” will be this “battle” to integrate NAFTA with the EU in the “near term”?

In my last post I listeda series of posts related to globalization and here’s the link to the post by American Lassie titled  THE PROPOSED NORTH AMERICAN COMMUNITY/NORTH AMERICAN UNION: 2010 Is Just Around the Corner (March 9, 2009) that was mentioned above.

So, do you think all this NAFTA-EU “conflict” will be settled sometime next year?

Well, silly me!  The Fortune article actually informs us that “both sides optimistic that a deal can be signed as early as the summer of 2010.”

Everything right on schedule!!!

A Stolen Victory During the Beer Summit–OR, How to Rewrite Congressional Votes While No One is Really Looking (It’s About Our Food)

~~By Grail Guardian

Virtually unnoticed this last week by the MSM (who’d a thunk?) while the Resident hoisted a cold one with his new BFFs was the seemingly unremarkable failure of a bill that hasn’t been in the news much, HR2749: Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. Right about now you’re probably yawning and asking, “So what, Grail?” But before you click your browser button, let’s review exactly what this bill that referred to as “Totalitarian Control of the Food Supply”. (I know, I know; it’s Alex Jones. But as a friend of mine used to say, “Every once in a while even a blind squirrel gets a nut”! This time he’s got lots of company.)

[Author’s note: I apologize for all the links, but it’s hard to accuse a monster corporation with attempted genocide without backing it up.]

Let’s start with the basics: Monsanto. You know who they are, right? If you’re not familiar, they’re basically the agricultural equivalent of Goldman Sachs. Big business, big restriction of competition, big health issues (in case you forgot Monsanto owned the rights to Aspartame when it was patented), and most importantly big buddies with the big “O”. Monsanto is the largest grower of fruits and vegetables in the world. They also manufacture the herbicide RoundUp. Sounds innocent so far, right? Bzzzzt! After RoundUp became the most widely used weed killer in the world, the sneaky little bastages at Monsanto decided that since virtually no one pays attention to agriculture anymore they could stealthily take over not only the marketplace, but literally the world’s food supply. They started making GMOs or Genetically Modified Organisms. And yes, that’s as spooky as it sounds.

There are basically 2 GMOs we need to be worried about: RoundUp Ready seed and Terminator Technology (basically sterile seeds that do not reproduce after one season so the farmer must purchase more seed – from Monsanto, of course – each year). Let’s take them one at a time:

RoundUp Ready seed has been genetically altered by Monsanto so that if it is sprayed with RoundUp, the desired plant won’t be killed by the herbicide. Sounds pretty good, at least until you think that through a bit. You probably have used RoundUp yourself to kill a few weeds growing between the cracks in your driveway or back yard patio, right? Me too. You take the bottle and aim at the weed, then in a few days it withers and dies. So the rocket scientists at Monsanto decided, “Well if a little works, a lot would be much better, right?” They engineered crop seeds so that instead of targeting the weeds, farmers can spray their whole crop and kill just the weeds while the corn, soy, or canola would survive to be harvested without all the hassles. But if you follow that thought through to its logical conclusion, what that means to you and me is that farmers are now dousing our food with RoundUp before they send it off to the local store or giant food processing plant. Now I’ve never tasted the stuff, but I can tell you from the smell that RoundUp is not something I want included in my diet. Shades of DDT anyone? What’s worse, neither the farmer nor the food processing plant need to disclose to us as consumers that this food was soaked in a chemical designed to destroy living organisms. Makes me feel all warm inside. (Or is that merely the burning of my digestive tract being slowly destroyed by the simple act of eating?)

Terminator Technology or sterile seeds are the Big M’s other grab to take over the world food supply. Monsanto uses genetic engineering to develop plants that are incapable of reproducing after 1 season. This means that poor farmers throughout the world will be left without the ability to use seeds from their current crop to start next year’s crop – they must buy new seed from Monsanto each year in

In India, this is a cause for some concern as scientists fear for the livelihood of 400 million farmers and for food security in the country. Already some poorer Indian farmers have been driven to suicide. It is feared that this type of technology could be used to make the poorer farmers even more dependent.

So much for solving the world hunger crisis. Now on to our innocuous bill, HR2749. The summary provided by the Congressional Research Service tells us that our bill

Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to: (1) issue science-based performance standards to minimum…

Hmmm. “Science-based standards”. Now just who might be in the business of creating these standards? Could it possibly be the scientists at good ol’ Monsanto?

(3) inspect facilities at a frequency determined pursuant to a risk-based schedule; (4) establish a food tracing system; (5) assess fees relating to food facility reinspection and food recall;

A“food tracing system”? Seriously? Am I going to break a tooth on an RFID chip? Will this be added to my electronically distributable Health Care records gathered under HR3200:America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009? Will my food be held up until it starts to rot while it is properly” inventoried?

and (6) establish a program for accreditation of laboratories that perform analytical testing of food for import or export.

I guess this leads us to the conclusion that current labs are not accredited. Yikes!

Authorizes the Secretary to: (1) order an immediate cessation of distribution, or a recall, of food; (2) establish an importer verification program; and (3) quarantine food in any geographic area within the United States.

In other words, it’s up to the sole discretion of the Secretary (it’s not real clear to me if this refers to Tom Vilsack, the Monsanto fed Secretary of Agriculture or Obama lapdog Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services – not that there’s a difference) whether anyone can distribute food, or if food can be quarantined without due process of law. Winston? Is that you?

Provides for unique identifiers for food facilities and food importers.

There is not limitation on this. It could be required, under this law, for small farmers that sell fruit on a roadside stand, or even for people who grow their own tomatoes in the back yard. Kiss your local farm market goodbye unless they’ve got compliance bucks.

Deems a food to be adulterated if an inspection is delayed or refused.

Here’s the government double dip; first they can delay the food to be properly traced and inspected, then they can commandeer it after they held it up too long to still be fresh.

Gives the Commissioner of Food and Drugs subpoena authority with respect to a food proceeding.

Great. The FDA, who brought you such medical wonders as Aspartame, Fen Phen, and Vioxx gets to issue subpoenas against Farmer Jones down the road that had the audacity to try to grow his crop without using RoundUp on it.

Aside from my personal commentary, the less-snarky folks at also point out:

A careful reading of the bill also reveals that HR 2749:

1. Will create duplicate fees & requirements for certified organic producers.

2. Will erode wildlife habitats in a misguided attempt to keep produce “clean” — when it is clear from the scientific evidence that it is industrialized animals that spread E.Coli 0157:H7 and Salmonella, not wild animals.

3. Will greatly increase the costs associated with safely composting manure and using it as a fertilizer for natural and organic crops.

4. Will interfere with and possibly prohibit small-scale farmers adding value to their products. This includes washing and cutting produce, creating canned jams or jellies, anything really.

5. Will require a costly electronic filing system that may well put farmers using paper records out of business, including many of our Amish brothers and sisters who can not comply with the electronic filing standards without violating their religious principles.

6. Will give the federal government the power to ban raw milk sales.

Ironically, it was the politicians own attempts at back door deals and sneakiness that appears to have sunk this ship during the legitimate House vote.

The bill was voted on by suspending the rules, limiting discussion to less than an hour, and not allowing any amendments that could have clarified who these new rules should affect. In the course of the last 24 hours, the language of the bill had been changed three times, and most representatives didn’t have the chance to read the latest version before being required to vote.

The only reason this bill is NOT the current law of the land is that it did not win enough of a majority to pass.

If you’re paying attention to the above quote written on July 29th, you should be scratching your head and saying, “huh?” So now it’s time for the kicker. The bill was voted on in the House of Representatives on July 29, 2009, and here is a direct copy from govtrack:

Jul 29, 2009: This bill failed in the House of Representatives by roll call vote. The vote was held under a suspension of the rules to cut debate short and pass the bill, needing a two-thirds majority. This usually occurs for non-controversial legislation. The totals were 280 Ayes, 150 Nays, 3 Present/Not Voting. Vote Details.

That was the way the page read yesterday when I started to write this article. When I went back to source some material, I suddenly noticed a spiffy little amendment:

Jul 30, 2009: This bill passed in the House of Representatives by roll call vote. The totals were 283 Ayes, 142 Nays, 8 Present/Not Voting. Vote Details.

That’s right, America! While you were watching Obama, Gates, Crowley, and Biden sing “Ein Prosit”, Congress was busy changing the vote on this bill because they (read Pelosi, Obama, Monsanto) didn’t like the outcome!

A little critical analysis of the changed votes shows that a couple of different things:

1) The members of the “Blue Dog Democrat Coalition” were obviously strong-armed into submission (along with a few non-proclaimed Blue Dog-type friends) when the Speaker didn’t get the results she wanted .

2) The RINOS (Republicans in Name Only) were easily bought off once again. There is no difference between the 2 major parties.

3) John Murtha needs to take his Alzheimer’s medications.

Here’s the breakdown:

Congressional District “Representative” Change in Vote Designation
AL-2 Bright, Bobby [D] Nay to Yea Blue Dog Coalition
CA-47 Sanchez, Loretta [D] Not Voting to Yea Blue Dog Coalition
CO-3 Salazar, John [D] Not Voting to Yea Blue Dog Coalition
FL-5 Brown-Waite, Virginia [R] Nay to Yea RINO
FL-8 Grayson, Alan [D] Yea to Not Voting Almost grew a spine

TN-4 Davis, Lincoln [D] Not Voting to Nay Blue Dog Coalition
TX-24 Marchant, Kenny [R] Yea to Nay Woke up from his nap
WI-8 Kagen, Steve [D] Nay to Yea Chicken

Here’s the breakdown:

So, my friends, we’ve been bamboozled again. We had a victory, but just like during the Democratic primaries, when TPTB didn’t get their way they simply changed the vote. Just like that. And the residents in Florida should be ever so happy to learn that they were screwed by both political parties once again. Um, guys – 3 of your non-representing Representatives changed their votes after the fact; think you might want to consider a change in 2010? Like None of the Above!

Now comes the question, “What can we do about it?” There are several things:

1) This bill has not passed the Senate yet. Get on the phone/fax/email and hammer them! Let them know there’s no way you’ll let anyone forget if they vote to starve America and the world.

2) If you live in one of the districts listed above, get on the phone and scream at these bastages! Let them know that you’re paying attention and you know they changed their vote. Demand to know why?

3) Join the march on Washington, D.C. on September 12, 2009. We need to let those inside the Beltway know that America does not support their thieving stealing lying condescending flip flopping actions against our wishes.

4) Boycott Monsanto. Shelly Roche from ByteStyle TV started this seemingly impossible (but in reality simple) idea. Check out her video here for one way to beat them at their own game.

If all this talk about Monsanto determining what you can eat has gotten to you, Shelly has also put together a dynamite list of how to recognize GMO foods that’s worth checking out. To induce you to read her article, I’ll share one I didn’t know about:

Look at the stickers on fruitthere is a PLU code with either 4 or 5 numbers. If your fruit’s label has 4 numbers, it is conventionally grown. 5 numbers starting with a 9 means it was organically grown, and 5 numbers starting with an 8 means GMO.

Last, but not least, if you really want to be vigilant about avoiding GMOs, corn is an important yet difficult thing to avoid (thank you Tom Daschle). Check out the Emergency Guide to Avoiding Corn from You might be surprised at where it’s hiding.

Mick Jagger’s 65th birthday yesterday (July 26) took me on a trip down memory lane to those days when I was a proud non-racist.

My days as a non-racist actually go back quite awhile  I was already enjoying the “black music” that was on Top 40 radio before and just after the “British Invasion.”   Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters, remember “Cry Baby?” in ’63?

Biology and Geology & English: Project Evolucionem

Hi everyone! We are students of 4th of ESO and we are going to explain what we have been doing so far in the Biology and Geology & English Project Evolucionem. This project seems very interesting and dynamic for now I learned a lot. We do biology class one hour, once a week.

The first day we took a group photo with the human bones replica from the Biology Lab.

During the second session we talked about the origin of the universe and we talked about how the Earth was formed.

From the information that we took from the documentary, we did an activity.

Then we learned how to write scientific names. We learnt how to write the binomial name from Linné’s ideas. To write them, the first letter of the first word goes in capital letters and all the name goes in italics (except while handwriting, that goes underlined).

We did an activity to study the different kingdoms in the nature.

In groups, we wrote in different color papers the scientific name of the five kingdoms. Then we learned about taxonomy and systematics.

During all the sessions we took notes in our magnific project notebook.

In the next class we made play dough molds to create modern fossils. We put chalk on them and we waited one week because it needs time to get dry.

Biology is my favorite subject, and I love doing a Project in association with this topic. I enjoy doing things like what we are doing in this term.

And we have invented some scientific names for our fossils that we have invented. You can see them on the first floor of the institute:

Opturamentum vaginae; Sensus auriculatheca; Sentimentulus capsuauriculum; Luostribracchia volvens; Turbo trilineae;

Triturris microimago

OpenSSL: how to setup an OCSP server for checking third-party certificates?

I am testing the Certificate Revocation functionality of a CMTS device. This requires me to setup a OCSP responder. Since it will only be used for testing I assume that the minimal implementation provided by OpenSSL should suffice.

I have extracted the a certificate from a cable modem, copied it to my PC and converted it to the PEM format. Now I want to register it in the OpenSSL OCSP database and start a server.

I have completed all these steps, but when I do a client request my server invariably responds with “unknown”. It seems to be completely unaware of my certificate’s existence.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone would be willing to have a look at my code. For your convenience, I have created a single script consisting of a sequential list of all used commands, from setting up the CA until starting the server:

You can also find the custom config file and the certificate that I am testing with:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Spinning Wheel of Questions

Many of us are heading back to school online. It’s not necessarily what we want to be doing but such is life in COVID times. As we head back to school one of the things great teachers generally excel at is creating relationships with students in the classrooms or creating classroom communities. While there isn’t a silver bullet to conquer this issue there loads of things you can do to help develop your classroom community online.

Unfortunately, not all of us are the best at creating conversations. The Spinning Wheel of Questions is an easy to use tool that will help you engage with students. You can pull this up on your computer, share your screen, and it will help you to start the conversations. Some questions are fun, others are just thought provoking. Either way take a ‘spin’ of the wheel and see if your students don’t appreciate just some time to get to know their teacher.

Nader on the Radar

Joel Bleifuss

Ralph Nader’s presidential campaign has been dogged with image problems.First comes the news that about 10 percent of the supporters of Nader who gave $250 or more to his campaign also are big funders of the Republican Party. Not exactly news. Nader received significant contributions from die-hard Republicans in 2000.Next is Nader’s flirtation with Lenora Fulani, who twice ran for president as the New Alliance Party candidate. He spoke at “Choosing an Independent President 2004 Campaign,” convened in New Hampshire by her organization, the Committee for a Unified Independent Party. Fulani is a follower of psychologist Fred Newman, a cult leader who founded what is known as the “social therapy movement.” Nader is cozying up to Fulani, who has endorsed his candidacy, because she heads a national organization with experience gaining third-party ballot status. Chip Berlet, of Political Research Associates, a Boston-based group that studies antidemocratic groups, says that control of this apparatus allowed Fulani and Newman to become major players in the Reform Party in 2000 when Pat Buchanan headed the ticket.According to Berlet, the Nader-Fulani-Buchanan axis is not that unusual:Nader has had an ongoing relationship with Buchanan for many years. What you have here is the left-right coalition to smash the corrupt regime that is built around right-wing populist rhetoric—a strategy that was devastatingly bad when it was adopted by some socialists in Germany in the ‘20s. You would hope that real progressives would make this mistake only once.Now, Nader failed to collect 1,000 signatures at an Oregon rally that would have put him on the ballot immediately. Only 741 people showed up. So he and his supporters have decided to take a longer route, collecting 15,000 signatures over a three-month period rather than 1,000 in a single gathering.Not to say that things aren’t going well for the campaign. Polls show that Nader is supported by 3 to 7 percent of voters, more than enough to act the spoiler.Not so, says Nader spokesman Kevin Zeese. “Nader will be taking votes from both parties,” he told the Moonie-owned Washington Times. “The Reform Party supported Bush in 2000 and they had been urging Ralph to run before he announced.” In other words, the Reform Party is still supporting Bush.

Joel Bleifuss, a former director of the Peace Studies Program at the University of Missouri-Columbia, is the editor & publisher of In These Times, where he has worked since October 1986.

When I was a boy, we used to call the place “shoalanda,” the place where the dolphins lived

When I was a boy, we used to call the place “shoalanda,” the place where the dolphins lived

A few weeks ago, when I was nine years old, I took a boat trip across the gulf and sat in the front seat.

On the bridge was the Shoalanda, a massive, concrete, steel-and-glass building in the middle of the bay.

I saw the dolphins and they were waiting for me, the dolphins that had swum in and out of the sea and stood there, swimming and swimming and I thought to myself, Well, this is the place I was going to see the dolphins live.

And I took my seat and watched them.

When I got home, I told my parents about it.

And the next thing I know, they are on vacation with their families, and I’m going to be a big, big jerk.

They don’t even have a house yet.

I was shocked, and my dad was angry, and he told me, Don’t worry, you can do whatever you want, and you can tell them where you are going and what you’re going to do, and they’ll be OK.

And that’s what I did.

I called up my parents, I said, Dad, I’m a kid, I don’t know anything.

And they said, Well you don’t have to worry about that, we’re doing the right thing, we love you.

And so I did, I went to a dolphin rescue center, I got a job at a dolphin sanctuary.

I went on dolphin tours with a dolphin trainer, and it was great.

I learned a lot about the dolphins.

And now, I live on my own.

But I’m not alone, and the people of the United States are beginning to understand the dolphins as part of the natural world.

And one day soon, the country will be a better place for it.

I’ll be able to tell them about dolphins, and about whales, and sea turtles, and sharks, and dolphins.

Because I’m still in awe of them.

I’m amazed that a dolphin can swim.

I am amazed that they can speak.

And most importantly, I am astonished that they still exist.

I want to share some of the things I learned from that visit with you.

First, I want you to know that dolphins don’t live in a cage.

They live on the water.

They’re the lifeblood of the oceans, but they don’t just swim by themselves.

When they’re in trouble, they call out to each other and communicate.

But they’re not just calling each other names.

When a dolphin sees a seal or a shark, it calls out to another dolphin, who calls back to the first dolphin.

They all respond.

And as a dolphin learns to recognize other dolphins, they learn to recognize each other.

And because they have a very complex social structure, dolphins can make alliances and make new bonds.

I remember a dolphin I went with that was on a cruise that we went on one summer.

We went on a tour of the area and it got to be very crowded.

It got to the point where people were sitting in the same seats.

We were on the boat in a small boat, and all of a sudden, this dolphin started calling out to us.

I looked up and I saw him, and this dolphin was standing in the boat.

And he said, Come on, come on, I’ll give you a ride.

I said no, you’re not going anywhere.

I didn’t have any money, so I took him on the bus.

And then, when we got home I told him I didn.

He said, No, we’ve got a ride, come with us.

So we did, and then we got on the ship and we got off the boat, he took me in his arms and we started walking to the boat and we were walking for four hours.

And when we finally got to our destination, he said to me, Do you want to go swimming with me?

And I said I do.

And we went swimming, and when we started to get to the water, he turned to me and said, I love you so much, I never had the opportunity to see you before, I know you’re amazing.

I wanted to hug him, I wanted him to say goodbye, I was so excited.

And you know what?

He did.

He hugged me.

I don, I think that he loved me.

And it was so amazing to see him go into such a situation of wanting to do what he did for me.

When dolphins have a lot of trouble with humans, they will sometimes take a human person with them, because they believe that it’s a great place to go and get away from the real world.

In the United Kingdom, for example, the government is now considering banning all tourists from entering the country, which will force people to stay in their hotels and hotels.

They have no idea what they’re doing.

The dolphin rescue program, where

Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as prognostic factor in colorectal cancer prognosis after radical surgical treatment
Novák, Petr ; Vodička, Josef (advisor) ; Šiller, Jiří (referee) ; Gürlich, Robert (referee)
Novák P.: Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as prognostic factor of colorectal cancer after radical surgical treatment Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) belongs among the most frequent malignant diseases and represents worldwide problem. Czech Republic has one of the highest incidence of CRC. The fight against this disease is kept in many lines as preventive, surgical and oncological treatment and very important part is also the estimation of prognosis and suggestion of individual treatment. Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the relation of contemporary clinical and histopathological factors and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, dendritic and natural killer cells. The next aim was to differentiate the patients with high risk of shortened overal survival and tendency to early recurrence of CRC after radical surgical treatment. Methods: We analyzed the group of 150 patients (93 men, 57 women) that were operated on at the Department of Surgery of Teaching Hospital in Pilsen between 2004 and 2007. The important condition for inclusion into the study was radical operation. We excluded patients with any disease that could influence immunological reactivity. We examined endovascular, endolymphatic, perineural infiltration by tumor cells (0 - none, 1 positive). Infiltrations of tumor by lymphatic cells...

Addictological causes of declaration of nullity of marriage in contemporary canon law of the Roman Catholic Church
Novák, Petr ; Čačík, Marián (advisor) ; Hrdina, Antonín (referee)
Addictological causes of declaration of nullity of marriage in contemporary canon law of the Roman Catholic Church Abstract This thesis presents in detail the addictological causes of marriage nullity in canon law of the Roman Catholic Church. According to the Canon Law (Codex iuris canonici, 1983) a marriage may be declared null because of psychological inability under certain conditions. The addiction (and addictive behavior) is one of the most serious mental illnesses. Pope Francis pointed out the addiction as a "new form of slavery" and a "wound in our society" which should be combated with education and rehabilitation. In many cases the legal proceedings are very difficult and the canonical lawyers need the expert report from the field of addictology, psychology and psychiatry. The aim of this thesis is to give the essential addictological and psychological knowledge connected with the regulations listed in canon 1095 of the actual canonlaw code.
Virulence of Bordetella pertussis from an Omics Perspective
Novák, Jakub ; Šebo, Peter (advisor) ; Černý, Jan (referee) ; Novák, Petr (referee)
The Gram-negative aerobic coccobacillus Bordetella pertussis is one of the few exclusively human pathogens and the main causative agent of the respiratory infectious disease called pertussis, or whooping cough. Despite global vaccination programs, pertussis remains an important public-health burden and still accounts for over 100,000 infant deaths and over a dozen of millions of whooping cough cases every year. Substantial effort is devoted to studies on the mechanisms of action of virulence factors of B. pertussis, but the biology of interactions of B. pertussis with its human host remains largely underexplored. Evolution, genetics and adaptation of B. pertussis to the complex environment of human nasopharynx and the mechanisms enabling B. pertussis to overcome host innate and adaptive mucosal immune defenses, remain poorly understood. In such situations, unbiased exploratory omics approaches represent valuable tools for uncovering of unknown aspects of host-pathogen interactions and open the path to detailed analysis of virulence-underlying processes by mechanistic studies. In this thesis, I am presenting the results of three omics projects on B. pertussis biology that involved high-throughput proteomics. In the inital phosphoprotemics project, we analyzed the kinase signaling pathways hijacked...
Intra-individual stability of performance and level of kinesthetic-differentiation ability in wedge play in golf players of varying performance level
Novák, Petr ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Carboch, Jan (referee)
Title: Intraindividual stability of performance and kinestetic abilities level in wedge play performed on golf players with different performance level Goal: Goal of this thesis is detect an intraindividual stability of full swing performance in wedge play and find out kinestetic abilities level of golf players with different performance level when they control distance of ball flight, club head speed and ball speed. Methods: There were 15 golfers participating in this study (n = 15). Tested subjects are characteristic by these values: age 18,36 ± 2,61, body height 180,86 ± 7,38, body weight 73,21 ± 10,25, HCP HCP -0,47 ± 1,53. Intraindividual stability of performance and kinestetic abilities level was tested by instrument TrackMan. Gained values were processed by statistical methods in Excel. Pearson coeficient was used to find out the dependence between data. Results: We found high level of intraindividual stability from test results. Significant difference was found between in distance, club head speed and ball speed parameters with and without feedback. Significant connetion between intaindividual stability and performance parameters was found only in 1/3 of cases, same as connection between kinethetic ability and performance parameters. Key words: Short game, golf swing, approach shots, abilities
Protein radical footprinting as a tool for protein therapeutcs validation.
Binar, Michal ; Novák, Petr (advisor) ; Ječmen, Tomáš (referee)
Mass spectrometry techniques are very important and useful tool in studying of protein structure. One of these techniques is the covalent labeling of proteins. The covalent labeling can be used for determination of the accessibility of protein surface and their dynamics in general. Although a lot of reagents have already been developer for this method, most of them are limited by their ability to selectively react with only some of amino acids, mostly lysine, arginine or tyrosine, and non-selective methods such as fast photochemical oxidation of proteins are very demanding and costly. Therefore, there is still a endeavor to develop new methods of covalent labeling. This new method could be trifluoromethylation, which is increasingly used in the modification of organic molecules, and whose potential we have decided to study. In this work we used a new group of formally electrophilic agents, which is formed on the basis of a cyclic hypervalent iodide nucleus. This group so-called Togni reagents was used as a tool for radical protein labeling. Since the structure was well characterized by X-ray, NMR and MS, the human carbonic anhydrase has been selected as a model protein. The modified protein was analyzed by a bottom up approach using a combination of liquid chromatography and high resolution tandem...

Apartment building Slatinska
Novák, Petr ; Jelínková, Barbora (referee) ; Jelínek, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the design of the building in the Brno-Židenice and with the processing of project documentation for the construction. The building is divided into two main parts - residential part and administrative part, which consist of a smaller office on the ground floor. Every part has own entrance from the street Slatinská. Parking is provided outside the building on the plots and has 9 parking spaces. The building has 3 floors, no basement and is built below the White Mountain. The shape of the building is rectangular with several protruding and receding parts of rectangular shape. In the residential part of the basement there is a background of an apartment building and in the upper floor there are 5 residential units of various sizes and layouts. The basis of the building is solved with the help of drilled piles in combination with the base plate. The construction system of the building is designed from masonry ceramic blocks. Ceiling structures, lined and receding structures are made of reinforced concrete. The roofing of the building is solved by an extensive green roof. The whole building is a contact insulated certified by the ETICS insulation system consisting of insulating polystyrene foam.

Verizon Stock is Worth the Price

Consolidation is rapidly occurring within the cable TV industry and there are plenty of ways to profit from it, as I wrote in a recent article. Here I’m focusing Verizon stock VZ stock dividend dow dividend blue chip dividend

on just one related investing idea: Verizon (VZ) stock.

The U.S. cable TV industry is intricately tied to the telecommunications industry, as was recently demonstrated when AT&T (T) announced it is buying Direct TV (DTV), subject to regulatory approval. Verizon is a dominant player that has been absent in the M&A game between cable and telecommunications companies. It has 34% market share of all wireless subscribers in the U.S. Its closest rival in the space is AT&T, which also had 34% market share as of the second quarter of 2014.

Verizon Stock Earnings Trend

For long-term investments, I look for an upward trend in sales and earnings. Let’s take a look at year-over-year results for Verizon for the past four quarters:

  • Starting in Q4 2013, Verizon stock posted $1.76 (66 cents adjusted) earnings per share (EPS) — a nice improvement from its Q4 2012 EPS loss of $1.48 (a gain of 38 cents adjusted). On the revenue front, sales were $31.1 billion for the quarter up 3.4% from the same period in 2012, with 84% of revenue being generated from Verizon’s wireless division, FIOS and strategic enterprise services.
  • In Q1 2014, Verizon stock posted $1.15 ($0.84 adjusted) EPS, compared to $0.68 (also $0.68 adjusted) EPS in Q1 2013. Revenues for the quarter were $30.8 billion, up 4.8% from the same period the previous year driven by strong sales in wireless and FIOS services.
  • Q2 2014 continued the trend with Verizon stock posting $1.01 ($0.91 adjusted) EPS compared to $0.78 EPS ($0.73 adjusted) the same period in the previous year. Revenue was $31.5 billion, up 5.7% from Q2 2013.
  • Verizon Stock’s Q3 2014 EPS came in at $0.89, compared to $0.77 ($0.78 adjusted) in Q3 2013. Revenues for Q3 2014 were $31.6 billion an increase of 4.3% compared to the same period last year.

In total, Verizon stock has posted four continuous quarters of year-over-year earnings and revenue growth. That is a positive trend!

Verizon Stock Fundamental Analysis

Verizon stock’s consensus price target is $55, about $5 short of the current trading range. Verizon has a 1.74 price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio, making it appear close to fair value. The trailing 12 months (TTM), P/E ratio of 10.95 compared a forward P/E of 13.2 implies contracting earnings.

Verizon stock currently has a return on assets for the past year of 6.73%, which is the highest it has been in years. That has driven Verizon stock’s return on equity on a TTM basis to 65.64% and its return on invested capital to 15.68% — far exceeding anything that the company has been able to produce in the past 10 years.

Furthermore, Verizon Stock offers a nice 4.3% dividend yield, with a 44% payout ratio and a history of increasing its dividend by about 3% annually.

I would put Verizon in the same category as AT&T stock. Verizon has a beta of .03, which means it is not very volatile. Plus, it offers a good dividend yield. It can offset the volatility risk of small and mid-sized equities. If you don’t own AT&T, then Verizon  is a solid buy-and-hold stock for a well-diversified portfolio.

Gabrielle Petito and her boyfriend went on a cross-country trip in a converted camper van, but Gabby's mom says she lost contact with her daughter around August 25.

Gabby's mother reported her daughter missing September 11 and North Port Police said that's when they found the camper van parked at the boyfriend's parents' house in Sarasota County, Florida.

Now multiple agencies from Florida to New York to the FBI are trying to figure out what happened to Gabby, who was posting about her trip on social media and Youtube before she disappeared.

Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood Premiere Event

Source: Jesse Grant / Getty

Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood picks back up with Bridget’s London interview fallout. Bridget is trying to calm Teairra down but she doesn’t want to be bothered. Bridget confronts Brooke about bogarting her interview in the first place and Brooke

offers Bridget a disingenuous apology but she really could care less . Nikki jumps in defending Brooke, and tells Bridget to hire a better PR team.

No one really seems to care that what Brooke did was trash. However, they still move past it. Teairra Mari comes out of the room to join them but then she and Moniece get into it. Moniece tells her to go back to rehab and…

That riles TT up too. Plus, she’s also mad because Moniece didn’t tell her that her friend hooked up with Akbar. This conversation happens in front of the other girls so they add their input (that no one asked for), which only annoys Moniece even more and makes her feel ganged up on.

We all knew this trip was going to be drama though.

Back in Hollywood, A1 and Lyrica try to force their mothers to get on the same page for the sake of their impending child. So, they got them a beach house for the weekend and force their moms to be roommates while they stay at a beach house down the street. It already doesn’t start off well because we already know these moms’ beef is on sight. They immediately start roasting each other as soon as they see each other. Hold that thought.

Back in London, the ladies try to keep it classy by going to an English High Tea and learn how to drink it with the pinky up, but you know how well these ladies and class go together.

These bird brains start playing a game of “Never Have Ever” and Brooke asks Nikki if it’s true that she slept with Solo Lucci. Nikki says she didn’t and is pissed off that this rumor is even out there. Then Moniece jumps in and calls Brooke out on her endless messiness, especially because she or someone in general usually pulls this type of stuff when they’re in settings under the pretense of unity. It’s always uncalled for but then again, there’d be no show if they didn’t work so hard.

Back at the beach house, Lyrica G initiates a surprisingly talk with Pam. There is some back and forth at first. It’s the usual, your son did this, your daughter did that, but they eventually manage to get on the same page and even go kick it on the beach! But don’t hold your breath. More on this in a second.

Now we’re back in London at Bridget’s show. Brooke performs new music and reconnects with her fans across the pond. La’Britney opens for her and that part goes well. The ladies kick it after the show and Nikki decides to leave them and go back home. She’s tight from the high tea drama and the general drama and would just rather be with her family in LA. At least she knows they’re not going to gang up on her.

The episode winds down with the aunties (Lyrica G and Pam) back on the beach. Things go downhill swiftly when Pam mentions she wants to get a DNA test. Lyrica G gets offended and says this is a low blow, especially since she was supposed to have moved past this. Pam says she just needs assurance, which makes sense because A1 and Lyrica were separated for a couple of weeks, talking about getting a divorce and these rumors swirling are heavy. But Lyrica G ain’t trying to hear that so she rides for her daughter. Eventually, they start bickering back and forth, you know how they do, and then Pam tries to swing on Lyrica G and all hell breaks loose. That good Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood security keeps them from putting the paws on each other but it doesn’t matter. They get right back to calling each other all kinds of b—hes and h–s and this beef is back to on sight status.

Why does Islam allow a man to marry up to four women, while women are allowed to marry only one man? What are the reasons behind this?

A man is allowed to marry up to four women for many reasons, benefiting both the man and the women.

  • Firstly, it may help the women as in the case of the Prophet where he often married poor women or women whose husbands died in battle. This was to help and protect them.

  • Secondly, as the prophet Abraham (as) married, they may bear the man a child when the first wife cannot. Instead of abandoning a women for her inability to conceive, he marries another and *treats them both with justice)

  • And lastly, in the case of a man tempted to commit adultery with another women. Instead of this man committing a grave sin, adultury, Allah has given man an ease within his law and allowed man to marry another women. The aim of this is to prevent man and the women from committing a grave sin. Many people look at this law as a selfish addition to men but in fact it is meant as an ease on both men and women; it's not an excuse to 'have fun' with many wives but in fact it is meant to help ease men and women with their way of life.

    I don't agree with either the second nor the third point. Replace "man/men" with "woman/women" and vice versa in the third point, and you'll understand what's wrong with it. About the second point it banks on the assumption that only a female can be infertile, what if the man is? Accordingly to your second justification a woman should be allowed to have multiple husband if his husband it infertile. The first point is a reason for the prophet(saww)'s act not the reason why the act is even allowed, which OP is actually asking. Nov 25 '13 at 17:25
  • any reference to credit it ?? Nov 26 '13 at 20:14

One rationale that, to me, seems pretty logical and which is (not sure about it since I can't find it any authentic place over the internet at least) narrated from Imam Ali(s.a.).

The gist of it is that if polyandry was to take place how would one identify the actual biological father of a given baby if her mother happened to be engaged in polyandry at the time of conception. Countering the argument, that e.g. suggest DNA test, it will most probably not work here and isn't feasible in most cases. It's like mixing two similar liquids and asking to separate them back into there respective containers.

Now the actual narration, quoted verbatim:

it is said that many women came one day to imam ali peace be upon him asking him : oh ali why did islam allow polygamy (or multiple marriage) for men and didnt allow this for women ,, so imam ali peace be upon him ordered the women to bring small containers and fill them with water , he gave each woman one container and ordered them to pour the water in a big one he put in the middle ,,, then imam ali peace be upon said each one of you fill her container with the same water she poured from it . the women replied how come the water is already mixed and cant be identified(or classified) ,,then imam ali peace be upon him answered then if a woman had more than one husband how can she identify the father of her baby end of story

And therefore polyandry is strictly prohibited it in Islam. After all it's our good that Allah wants.

Because it is necessary under some conditions.

وَاٰتُوا الْيَتَامٰى اَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبٖيثَ بِالطَّيِّبِ وَلَا تَاْكُلُوا اَمْوَالَهُمْ اِلٰى اَمْوَالِكُمْ اِنَّهُ كَانَ حُوبًا كَبٖيرًا
And give to the orphans their properties and do not substitute the defective [of your own] for the good [of theirs]. And do not consume their properties into your own. Indeed, that is ever a great sin وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِى الْيَتَامٰى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنٰى وَثُلٰثَ وَرُبَاعَ فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا فَوَاحِدَةً اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰى اَلَّا تَعُولُوا
And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].
Nisa 2-3 (4 / 2-3)

As you see in the ayats, Muslims are not allowed to multi-marry any woman. This law is primarily for justly dealing with orphaned women. And, as you see in the ayats, Allah does not suggest or encourage us to marry more than one woman. Allah only shows this as a path for keeping rights of orphan women. If we fear that we won't be able to behave justly, we are not allowed to marry more than one woman.

However, today, some people have changed the meanings of ayats. They generalized the meanings of this ayats to make them fit to their desires. They used these ayats to make themselves harems. And yet they treat their wives as animals instead of protecting their rights, as if they were just child producing machines.

The Quran has show us this multi-marriage formula as a path to solve a problem. Not to make a harem for ourselves. People's evil doings should not dirty Islamic laws.

I also want to add this: is it worse to marry up to 4 women, or is adultery every night with a different woman? Some people oppose to this multi-marriage law simply because it is an Islamic law. But they are remaining blind to those who make adultery with many more that 4 women.

    Are you trying to say that Muslim men are only allowed to marry multiple women if they are orphans?

    @ashes999 Not exactly. The ayat doesn't say "you can only marry with orphan womem up to four". Rather it has a more complex explaining. Marrying up to four is strongly related to protecting rights of orphans. But I don't understand the exact details, I only wrote what I understood from the ayats. This is a research topic. It is sad that we Muslims didn't do research on topics likes these in all those long 14 centuries. Jun 20 '12 at 7:59

    It is not sad that Muslims didn't do research - they have done plenty. It is sad that the conventional modern Muslim layman is usually clueless about all this valuable research because we're not taught anything noteworthy about it at school and because we no longer speak and read in Arabic as the Ummah used to only a few decades ago and hence cannot access all that research.

Islam is the only religion that disallows men from marrying more than 4. It is not like marry 4. It is rather like you can marry up to 4 and that to only if you can make justice. The condition of making justice is very hard to achieve. So, it is not that easy. In my knowledge no other religion has anything in written about any limit of marriage. You can search in youtube for Dr. Zakir Naik's videos on marriage.

In that video also you'll get to know that the world has more than 3 times (nearly 4 times) women than men. So, Islam is completely socially balanced. If it is not so then millions of Women will remain single or commit haram.

    I'm sorry to be posting on a year old question but your last paragraph is false. See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio. A ratio of 4:1 in favor of women would not be biologically sustainable when most of the world has 1:1 relationships.

  • Please also consider there are people who are gay. So avialability of men is much less than women

The simple answer is because that is the role Allah has for women. Her reason for existence is to produce babies - something she can do at most once a year. A man however can create many babies, even in 1 night. If a woman were to have more than one husband, what would she do? Have a child with one one year, another the next?

Allah has thought of everything which is why it is like this and given humanity a guide. A good muslim should not ask 'why' it must be like this but rather work out 'how' i can live my life by the holy Quran.

  • give reference behind your logic that women are only meant to produce babies .nobody wants what you think about women , just produce a reference where Islam says that Her reason for existence is to produce babies Nov 27 '13 at 17:49

If you see these stats of wikipedia you'll know that most countries of the world have a greater population of women than men (notice the pink regions). In addition you'll find many gay people there who are not interested in women :) This will cause serious problems to women in finding their husbands. And this will lead them to adultery and other things like that to fulfill their desires. Islam gives the best solutions to these problems. Regards.
