Is hand washing the cause of climate change? | Douglass Report - Official Site
Is hand washing the cause of climate change? | Douglass Report - Official Site
Warm water study is full of hot air
They’ve tried to guilt you into driving a dinky electric car… guilt you into being cold in winter (and hot in summer)… and guilt you into eating soy instead of steak.
And now, the climate kooks are trying to guilt you into using cold water to wash your hands. Apparently, every time you use warm water, a little piece of the Earth dies.
They claim warm water for hand washing causes American homes to belch out 6 million metric tons of CO2 per year — or the equivalent of two coal-fired power plants.
The fact that we’d need just two power plants to bring warm water to a nation of more than 300 million souls sounds pretty darned efficient to me — and even that may be a wild exaggeration, because the study wasn’t conducted by experts in medicine, public health, energy or even the environment.
Nope.
The main researchers include a lawyer and two people with a background in psychology.
That explains the guilt angle, anyway.
But that’s all they have — guilt. They don’t have science because the science shows the planet is not only NOT getting warmer, but may in fact be getting cooler.
So much for global warming!

Religon is good for health
[VIDEO] How doctors protect their own prostates - siegholle@gmail.com - Gmail
Being religious can protect the brain
Want to beat depression? Go to church!
The more religious you are, the thicker your cortex, according to a new study of more than 100 adults.
And in this case, it's good to be a little thick in the head (or at least this part of the head), because the cortex is like a suit of armor for your mood. The thicker it is, the less likely you are to suffer depression.
But if you're not particularly religious, your cortex could be paper-thin -- putting you at a higher risk of depression and everything that comes along with it.
No wonder atheists are such downers!
But don't worry... whether you're an out-and-out unbeliever or just a lost sheep looking for a way back, it's never too late to see the light.
You'll get something a lot more important than a mood boost -- you'll get benefits that last longer than a lifetime.
Bringing you the Truth,
William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.

Pope Francis is wrong about capitalism - Appeared in the Calgary Herald and Waterloo Region Record | Fraser Institute
Pope Francis’s capitalism critique is too general but there is indeed a problem with crony capitalism. That, and his deeply concern for the world’s poor, justifiably requires a withering but more focused critique

People engagement
More pernicious are disengaged employees, who represent over a quarter of the
workforce across the US. They exhibit negative behaviors and undermine the
accomplishments of their coworkers. The effect can be seen in decreased output
and a rise in accidents, absenteeism and staff turnover. With disengagement
having such a detrimental effect on the workplace, some employers may consider
it better just to let disaffected workers go, but these employees can carry their
discontent outside, damaging the organization’s reputation with customers and
potential future hires.

More importantly, almost none of these people, volunteers or backers, have any influence. When backers who only have one mode of participation cannot even impact where and how their dollars get spent, they will stop being as actively engaged as a strong community requires. The same occurs with volunteers where only the dedicated few (who usually do feel they are making an impact and have influence) actually stick around, while the majority burnout.

Useful Tips in self defense on your health
12 tips to stay safe in hospitals
Hospitals can save you, but they can also harm you. So how can you stay safe in hospitals? Follow these 12 life-saving tips:
1. Never go alone. Always bring someone else—a trusted family member or friend—with you. That person will be your primary advocate, and can serve as an extra set of eyes and ears to help make sure you are safe. (This tip applies to routine doctors’ appointments too; always bring your advocate with you.)
2. Determine, in advance, the goals of the hospitalization. Before you go to the hospital, ask your doctor why you need to be hospitalized. Is it necessary, or is outpatient care possible? What is the goal of the hospital stay? How often will that goal be assessed? Can you choose which hospital to go to, and when you should go? Rarely is the need for hospitalization so emergent that you can’t get these answers and discuss them with your doctor in advance.
3. Prepare. Bring all the things you would normally bring with you to a doctor’s appointment, including a list of your medical problems and allergies. Don’t assume that the hospital will have your records. It’s very important to bring all the pill bottles that you take so that there will be no mistake about what dosage and how often you take your medications. Keep your main doctor’s phone number and your advocate’s phone number handy (though your advocate should be going with you to the hospital).
4. Meet your care team. Find out who is in charge of your care: is it your regular doctor or a hospitalist doctor? Introduce yourself to her, and to your primary nurse. Meet the patient care tech, the nursing assistant, and the other members of your healthcare team. Tell them about yourself, and find about them. The more they get to know you as a person now, the more they will help to answer your questions later. Your advocate should also get to know your care team.
5. Know who to call for help and how. Who will be the night-duty doctor and nurse, and how can you reach them? If you are in trouble, or if your advocate sees you’re in trouble, how will you get help? Many hospitals have a “rapid response team” or a “code team” that come to assist in emergency situations. Can your advocate activate this team himself?
6. Ask about every test done. Don’t just consent to tests. They all have risks, so ask about them. Why is your blood drawn every morning—what is the purpose? Why are you getting the CT scan? You should discuss every test with your doctor in advance of doing them, and have a thoughtful discussion about risks, benefits, and alternatives.
7. Ask about every treatment offered. If you’re being started on a new medication, ask about what it is, what the risks are, what the alternatives are, and why you need it. If you’re told you need a procedure, make sure you discuss it with your doctor.
8. Keep a record of your hospital stay. Your advocate may need to help you with keeping a careful record. This includes your tests (make a note of what you get done and ask about the result), medications (write down when each medication is given and double-check it’s correct), and providers who come to see you (write down names of specialists and their recommendations). A detailed record helps to prevent mistakes, coordinate your care, and keep you on track.
9. Attend bedside rounds. Doctors and nurses usually have rounds at least once a day to discuss their patients. Find out when rounds happen and ask if you and your advocate can attend. This is your time to find out what’s going on with your care. Prepare questions to ask during rounds.
10. Know your daily plan. Rounds are a good time to ask about what is happening that day. Are you doing more tests? More treatments? Are you on track, or did something unexpected happen? When can you expect to go home?
11. Keep your eye on infection control. If someone comes into your room, ask him to wash their hands. If someone is doing a procedure on you, ask her to follow an infection control checklist. Hospital-acquired infections kill 100,000 people every year, and you can help prevent them.
12. If something isn’t right, speak up immediately. Remember that it’s your body and you know yourself the best. Get help if you develop new or worsening symptoms. Empower the person you’re with to speak up for you if you can’t.
All of these tips may sound like a lot of work, and you may be wondering why it’s your job to do all of this. After all, aren’t you the patient, the person who is feeling unwell and seeking help? By and large, doctors and nurses are well-meaning, and most of the time, the system is working well and you will get good care. However, mistakes do happen—and you and your advocate can help prevent medical error. Follow the tips above to make sure that you are safe and well during every hospital stay.

Subject: Membership and Program Special Incentive
Worthy Grand Knight: (and members of the Knights of Columbus )
With the historic election of Pope Francis, the Knights of Columbus has a
unique opportunity to express our solidarity with the Holy Father by
expanding our charitable outreach and growing our membership.
In taking his name from St. Francis of Assisi, "the man of poverty," and
identifying himself so closely with the poor by his public acts and
statements, the Holy Father has shown himself to be dedicated to charity.
Since our Order's guiding principle is charity, there is no better way to
express our solidarity with Pope Francis than to build each council in its
charitable outreach by serving those in need.

Welcome to our community Pope Francis
Pope Francis -a man of and for the people he serves
A new style on the first day says good things for the future
The difference in style was a sign of Francis’ belief that the Catholic Church needs to be at one with the people it serves and not imposing its message on a society that often doesn’t want to hear it, Francis’ authorized biographer, Sergio Rubin, said in an interview Thursday with The Associated Press.
“It seems to me for now what is certain is it’s a great change of style, which for us isn’t a small thing,” Rubin said, recalling how the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio would celebrate Masses with ex-prostitutes in Buenos Aires.
“He believes the church has to go to the streets,” he said, “to express this closeness of the church and this accompaniment with the people who suffer.”
