Grammar school fees vary for the different schools in the different territories of Australia. Schools in Sydney will be more expensive, than the Grammar school fees in the Outback. One of the most important things in choosing your school is the prospectus of the different schools. If the prospective school is out of your territory, you need to see if they offer boarding school options. Choosing a schools can be quite daunting. Many parents look to the internet and compare the different facilities available. Grammar-school fees will also play an important part, as well as word-of mouth from parents whose children attend the different schools. Remember, there is no better reference than that of a parent whose child attends that organization in question.  

The Knox, a day education provider, is located in Melbourne, Victoria near the suburb of Wantirna. This only accommodates about 800 children and the classes have a maximum of 24 students. This means your child will have individual attention. The grades taught are from Pre-Prep to Year Twelve and is divided into four sub-schools: the Junior Playgroup (which contains Playgroup, the Early Learning Centre and years up to four); The Lower Middle, years five to seven; Upper Middle-School has years eight and nine; and Senio-School has years ten to twelve.   The school colors are blue, gold and maroon and the school’s mascot is the falcon. One of the great things about this education provider is that it is accredited with the Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne; this means that your child is getting quality education. It is a non-religious-school, so families of any religion can send their children and know they will not be persecuted for their religious beliefs. 

Grammar school fees for the Knox range $7,900 to $14,920 per year. Grammar school fees for the Geelong-School, a boarding school, are the most expensive out of all the schools.  The school contains four campuses: Corio for years five to eight, and years ten to twelve (it is both a boarding and day school); Bostock House is a day school and has Preschool to year four; Toorak Campus and has years Preschool to six; and Timbertop has year nine. Grammar-school fees for this school differ so much as you have the option of sending your child to day or boarding school.

The most frightening human being I have ever met in my short time on this planet was an Islamic cleric in including Mali who urged me, in all seriousness, to do everything in my power to kill infidels or kaffirs (non-believers in Arabic). He was a sweet old man in his early sixties, and I had just interviewed him for a radio program to be broadcast in Dakar. I had also shared a meal with him and his advisors. I cannot imagine that he personally ever killed anyone, but it was the froideur, the icy coldness, with which he approached the whole idea of ​​killing another human being because of his or her religious beliefs that sent icy chills down my own spine. To this day, I do not know from what part of the human soul this impulse springs.

God's Jury: The Inquisition and the Making of the Modern World, Cullen Murphy's magisterial study of the Inquisition, now available in e-book format, reminds us that the most frightening and most dangerous people in the world are zealots who believe they are right because they are also righteous. Too, they sometimes even believe that they are divinely guided, as my Islamic zealot did. They lack that helpful self-doubt that assails the rest of us. Certain communist leaders from the 20th century suffered from this delusion I believe, Mao Tse Tung, for example, and Stalin, though their self-certainty appears not to have sprung from personal dialogue with the Almighty. More recently, Ayatollah Khomeini had no compunction about also wishing to see kaffirs dead.

Islam has yet to experience a Protestant Reformation, and to be surrounded by Islam sometimes makes one feel that one is living in the eleventh century and not the twenty-first. The gripping tale told by Cullen Murphy starts in a dark time in human history almost that far back, a millennium ago. Established by the Catholic Church in 1231, the Inquisition continued in one form or another for almost seven hundred years. Though associated with the persecution of heretics and Jews, and with the well-known practice of burning at the stake, its targets were more numerous and its techniques more ambitious.

What was completely new to me was the degree to which we owe to the Inquisition so many modern tools of the authoritarian state – the invention of the apparatus of state surveillance for example, along with state censorship, and what former Vice President Dick Cheney refers to euphemistically as "enhanced interrogation." With the passage of the centuries, the methods of the Inquisition as well as its mindset spread far beyond the Roman Catholic Church to become tools of secular organization and persecution.

Cullen Murphy takes us from newly opened manuscripts he was privileged to be the first to see in the Vatican Library to the connections he so boldly makes to the detention camps of Guantanamo and the filing cabinets of Germany's Final Solution. Torquemada may be long dead, but his spirit and that of his cohort Grand Inquisitors not only survive him, but are more actively abroad in the world than ever, and doing as great if not greater mischief.

It seems to me that this is the great value of such a book, and the only reason to immerse onself, especially at night before being subject to possible dreams, into these very real nightmares: for Murphy's real point is that it is only by understanding the Inquisition's history that we can hope to explain the iron grip of some of its most totalitarian methods in shaping our present world.

With the combination of vivid immediacy and learned analysis, Murphy puts a human face on a familiar but little-known piece of our past and argues that only by understanding the Inquisition can we hope to explain the making of the present. He traces the 700-year history of successive Catholic Inquisitions to expose their underlying consistencies and contradictions, their mechanics and diabolical devices, to highlight those common threads that start a millennium ago and stretch right into today's newspaper headlines. The "enhanced interrogation" I mentioned earlier, as it is practiced at Guantanamo, is quite similar to the Roman process of rigoros esamine (Latin: rigorous examination), he explains. Indeed, modern interrogation techniques as outlined in a US Army manual are eerily parallel to the sophisticated inquisition techniques first outlined in a manual from the 1300s.

Another important point that I had to grasp was that inquisitions need not necessarily be religious (though my personal experience with zealots in West Africa is that they are always religious fanatics). But the deeper point is that moral certainty is a very dangerous self-attribute, be it religious, political, corporate, or chauvinistic.

The true believers are the most dangerous men and women who walk the earth because they are prepared to judge you and me by standards we not only do not accept, but may never have even heard of. They believe that they alone know the path that is true, the path that is right, and we must deeply fear their certainty because the "inquisitorial impulse" springs directly from it, whether it is religious or atheistic.

Murphy asks us to consider many the inquisitions over the last century, citing a litany in the United States alone: ​​The Palmer Raids (an early Red Scare led by the young J. Edgar Hoover in the 1920s), the Japanese internment in California, Cointelpro , and more recently the Patriot Act. The McCarthy Era alone was more far-reaching than any church inquisition, he argues.

This is a sobering book, an excursion into history that may prove far more relevant to the present than any of those who pick the book up casually first guess, but the present relevance of God's Jury: The Inquisition and the Making of the Modern World is its most important message – and reason alone to read and study this text.

The ethical evolutionary growth and development of the human condition is extremely complex. The task of advancing human evolution involves the recognition of past scientific mistakes and acting accordingly. Modern science has classified itself as an incurable carcinogenic state leading to certain extinction and that is not ethical. Ancient Greek science on the other hand, knew of the extinction of life forms from fossil evidence and invented an atomic science, specifically so that civilization would not become extinct. During the 3rd century BC, Plato's Academy actually called it the Science for ethical ends. At the Epicurean University the ethical atomic first principle logic applied to the movement of the moon influencing the female cycle by resonating with the atoms associated with female fertility. This resonance was held to explain a mother's love and compassion for children and belonged to the Science of universal love. Its teachers were called Saviors, saving civilization from the destructive properties of unformed matter of chaos emerging from the atom, as envisaged by Plato and Philo.

The search for first principle logic, in particular concerning the real nature of carcinogenic growth and development, is of paramount importance. Under these circumstances the recognition of scientific mistakes requires an exacting reexamining of ancient science itself. While associated intuitive religious beliefs are very relevant, it can be considered to be demeaning to leave them tied up in knots of unfathomable complexity rather than to obtain a more astute understanding of our commitment to them.

Scientific geniuses representing age old scientific thinking, related to the destructive property of unformed matter (nuclear detonation) emerging from within the atom to destroy civilization, existed. They included Plato; the father of ethical scientific research in the Western World, Philo; who linked Greek science to Hebrew culture, and Al-Haytham; the Islamic father of optics. Isaac Newton, a devout Christian, published that the ancient Greek first cause principle logic explained gravitational force correctly. He argued that it was a pretensious mistake to hold that the mass of objects in space caused gravity (see Newton's 28th Query Discussions). Plato, Philo and Al-Haytham stated that by developing a science based upon the concept of all knowledge being derived from the senses, in particular from vision, would cause the destructive property of unformed matter to emerge from within the atom to destroy civilization.

The general global religious reluctance to research such profound fundamental scientific mistakes is preventing information and communication research into advancing human civilization in an ethical, non-carcinogenic direction. The consequence of this is the global epidemic, concerning the contagious effects of scientific dysfunctional communication and information.

It is rapidly becoming common knowledge that American medical epidemiologists, appointed by the Government of the United States of America to protect the health and wellbeing of communities, have identified an uncontrollable virus-like dysfunctional 3D global epidemic. Scholars have published that is is an emotional control epidemic, transmitted though the mass production of information and communication devices. They have acknowledged that in order to the carry out their epidemiology responsibilities, the best that can be done is to try and mitigate the damage that the virus-like epidemic is causing.

The strain of the current global information and communication 3D epidemic echoes the form of the mathematical intent programmed within poker machines to bring about bankruptcy if continually played. Scientists are now afflicted with a heroin-like addiction, leading to both moral and financial bankruptcy, and have become obsessively committed to continually play the global corporate profit game, which is their proud badge of dysfunctional excellence. This unfortunate situation can be remedied if their brilliant research is synergized with new living information logic.

The inability of scientists to program a computer to generate appropriate human survival simulations in order to solve real evolutionary problems is particularly exasperating. In 1979, China's most highly awarded scientist, Hun Huang, educated in Scotland, provided Australian cancer researchers with the methodology to program a computer to generate 50 million years of healthy seashell evolution through space-time. Mainstream mathematics, lacking first principle logic, could only generate deformed or carcinogenic futuristic life-form simulations. The use of first principle mathematics to generate optimum growth and development representing the existence of a life-force, was proven. The simulations exactly matched fossilized mathematical seashell evolutionary growth and development. Likewise, the fossil record of humanoid sphenoid bone evolution exists to allow an identical methodology to obtain a human survival blueprint rather than a seashell one. Even if we remain locked into the present extinction mindset, such blueprint evidence would buy us precious time to harmonize mechanistic science with living scientific logic. Therefore, providing antidote knowledge regarding the present dysfunctional 3D epidemic, is a crucial issue.

The Australian team's discovery was published by Italy's leading science journal, Il Nuovo Cimento. In 1990 the world's leading technological research institute, IEEE, reprinted it as an important discovery, listed alongside such names as Louis Pasteur and Sir Francis Crick. The existing carcinogenic mindset sentences all life to extinction instead of allowing it to evolve toward infinity. Therefore, it follows that an examination of our incomplete science, to locate crucial first principle laws governing the human evolution of living information and communication, is warranted.

Politicians can presently only react to the reality of problems by acting upon their emotional responses to scientific advice given to them based upon the dysfunctional 3D communication and information epidemic. Scientists, technologists and politicians are at present emotionally denied the will to enter relevant human survival data into a computer program to generate realistic solutions. The scientist, Kun Huang, fully realized this situation when he provided the Australian researchers with the methodology to obtain an alternative line of reasoning to help bring about a balanced scientific mindset.

We know from released data belonging to the Manhattan Project that ancient geometrical logic was astute enough to intuit the existence of nuclear destructive chaos. A moral argument existed relevant to the making of the atomic bomb before Nazi Germany did. However, nobody thought about creating the omni-technology obviously associated with the ancient ethical human survival science. Logical reasoning at that time meant that the scientific information and communication needed to win the Second World War had to cause more entropic chaos than that of the enemy. As a result, global information and communication technology is about irresponsible and short sighted corporate profit in the form of a dysfunctional global epidemic.

Da Vinci, Descartes, Sir Francic Bacon and Einstein were certainly happy to give human vision a major role in the evolution of science's understanding of reality and this became the basis of a mechanistic science devoid of first principle living logic. When the sperm and egg unite to create human life the eye does not exist and therefore cannot be the seat of all knowledge. Therefore, modern science, by ignoring this fact, divorced itself from reasoning about the crucial first principle information associated with the evolutionary act of conception.

A high resolution picture of the geometrical shape of the human cell about to divide exists, showing that it is an infinite fractal expression of reality. Its geometrical electromagnetic shape does not allow the current 3D information epidemic to be transmitted to the new cell. That technological rejection obviously contains antidote information related to the prevailing mechanistic epidemic bought about by the influx of dysfunctional communication and information devices. The epidemiologists are becoming aware that the transfer of living information during cell division does not obey our present understanding of information and communication.

The philosopher of ethical science, Immanuel Kant, who laid down the foundation of the electromagnetic Golden Age of Danish Science, considered that the first principle logic for ethical evolution was an "asymmetrical electromagnetic" inner vision within the creative artistic mind. As a deeply religious person he referred to it as it God's ethical purpose for perpetual peace on earth. As mentioned in the beginning of this article, intuitive religious beliefs are relevant and it can be considered to be demeaning to leave them tied up in knots of unfathomable complexity. Kant's asymmetrical electromagnetic inner vision viewing glasses actually came into existence in 2003, allowing us to make Salvado Dali's intuitive stereoscopic evolutionary artistic theories, visible for the first time to the general public.

Modern quantum biology cancer research has noted that healthy information flows in the opposite direction to the energies of entropic chaos, apparently entangling with it to evolve universal consciousness. Within his book, Utopia or Oblivion, Buckminster Fuller presumed that the merging of mechanical science with humanitarian science would be achieved through a new human survival artistic perspective. Using asymmetrical electromagnetic 3D glasses to view copies of paintings over the centuries, it can be observed that during the 21st Century artists have begun to unconsciously paint very dramatic 3D images into their work. This naturally occurring evolutionary intuitive ability contrasts with the artificial 3D virus-like epidemic proliferated by the mass production of dysfunctional communication and information devices. The flow of Kantian healthy ethical information flowing in the opposite direction to the dysfunctional virus is a mirror image of it. That is pertinent to the discarded 19th Century linguistic color perception theories belonging to the English Prime Minister, William Gladstone and the philosopher of Science, Wolfgang von Goethe during the Great Darwinian Debate.

The Architect and Coordinator of QUAGI-Quantum Art Group International, the artist Roberto Denti, in collaboration with prize-winning quantum biologists helped to fuse the Australian Science-Art discoveries into Italian quantum biology's concept of the 21st Century Renaissance. Several international magazines recorded the birth-date of that Renaissance as being the 24th of September, 2010, when Denti's colleagues, Professor Massimo Pregnolato and Professor Paolo Manzelli, were awarded the Giorgio Napolitano Medal on behalf of the Republic of Italy, for their quantum biology research discoveries.

In 2012 the scientist Guy Deutscher's book of the year, Through the Language Glass, upgraded 19th Century linguistic color perception theory into a new advanced neurological science. The work harmonized into the first principle cancer research theories of the Australian linguistic color research and resonated with the research conducted by Roberto Denti and his colleagues. A unique coincidence had occurred. In 1988, the science writer for the Australian Medical Observer, Dr Calvin Miller, wrote a feature article for that eminent journal, based upon his investigation of the Australian first principle logic theories. He predicted that they might well become the basis of a New Renaissance. Roberto Denti and his artistic colleagues, expressed their Science-Art 21st Century Renaissance theories clearly in the new neurological language. It can now be observed that they were unconsciously painting in extremely vibrant 3D imagery, now relevant to locating an antidote to the artificial 3D science-art epidemic.

Massimo Pregnolato is one of the world's most highly awarded professors of medical chemistry. His research association with the artist Roberto Denti is recorded on the internet surrounded by paintings and colored medical illustrations. When viewed through asymmetrical electromagnetic 3D glasses they depict vivid representations of Immanuel Kant and Emmanuel Levinas' inner artistic vision of futuristic ethical reality. In quantum biology cancer research this inner vision information flows in the opposite direction to the 3D information / communication epidemic bringing about heroin-like illusionary inner vision addictions related to an anticipation of poker machine-like financial gain.

The naturally occurring unconscious evolutionary development of inner stereoscopic vision is a visible demonstration of Salvador Dali's overwhelming intuition that his artwork contained a stereoscopic message of an advanced futuristic science. Dali's intuition dismissed Descartes' first principle "I think therefore I am" mathematical truism in favor of Sigmund Freud's first principle logic based upon the "joy of life". For those wanting to create and love children, Freud's first principle axiom could well read, "we desire and think, therefore we will be".

Pregnolato and Denti's proclamation of the substance upholding their 21st Century Renaissance resulted in two major world Art Quantum exhibitions involving internationally prestigious artists. The first exhibition is to be held at the Silber Gallery in Rome, from March 31 to 06 April 2016, and the second at Russia's famous Artists of Central Palace, Moscow, 22 to 28 April, 2016, as announced in the Spring Edition of Russian Art Week – Quantum Art Group Italia. Some of the artwork on exhibition is also represented by the world's largest commercial art gallery, Park West Gallery in Michigan, USA.

The crucial importance of this precursor to a new ethical 21st Century Renaissance science has been summarized by Roberto Denti: "The Art Quantum is a precursor of cognitive change to look for new inspirations, new reference models based on overcoming the limitations of the old mechanical ideas , thus generating anticipatory and innovative action of 'scientific and technological imagination, capable, factually capable of encouraging more useful interpretations of life and its evolution ".

This article has been written as a possible contribution to obtaining the antidote to the 3D global information and communication epidemic. It seeks to help establish a source of corporate ethical stamps of approval for future first principle cancer research posters, depicting the past scientific mistakes mentioned herein. Establishing such a delicate but essential corporate synergistic understanding about futuristic technology is considered to be more effective in the manner of Dali's eccentric, colorful, unsophisticated methodology. The seals on the proposed posters containing an intent to consider ethical peacemaking initiatives based upon radical scientific shakeups are considered able to promote more trustworthy inclinations to try and solve the epidemic problem that are seen as being critical to the entropic status quo.

The history of Bangla literature is an age old heritage some pages of which are still unfold. There are many hidden concepts and beliefs originating from the conception of this form of music. Till what research and belief says the earliest form of Bangla music took birth from the musical composition known as Charya. Charya is basically from Northern part of India with an organized rhythm and mode of singing. This gave birth to the classical form of Banla music.

Later on, Jayeb, a known Bengali poet, won the hearts of millions with his beautiful compositions created on the intense love of Radha-Krishna. The collection of this religious song was compiled to form a heart warming composition known as Geet Gobinda. Following Jayeb many other poets and singers introduced various different forms of musical compositions. Baru Chandidas gave birth to the collection of soothing songs with unique lyrics and typical Bangla melodies. This collection was known as ShriKrishna Keertan. Then the Padabali Keertan was blended with rich Hindustani music of the North that eventually gave birth to various trends of Bangla music.

There are many popular trends of this form of music like the Tappa, Bhaitali, Baul, Kirtan, and many more. Tappa is a form of North Indian classical music that was introduced by a famous Luckhnow musician known as Golam Nabi. The theme on which this composition is based is the love shared between men and women and the tone is a classical form. Baul songs is sung by a specific group of Bangla people known as Bauls and the Bhaitali form of song is basically sung by the boatmen of Southern Bangla. Furthermore, the kirtans and Rabindra Sangeet are also popular trends that are appreciated by many across the country. Kirtans are ritualistic songs based on religious beliefs and sung on various religious and festive occasisons. Rabindra Sangeet is the beautiful composition of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore. Some of the other popular songs are Najrul Geeti Songs written by Kazi Nazrul Islam and Ganasangeet with the theme of social beliefs.

Apart from this, there are some latest trends that include the film and non-film songs with unique lyrics and beautiful heart-warming tone. Some of the famous artists in the field of Bangla music are Hemanta Mukherjee, Jaganmoy Mitra, Shyamol Mitra, Arati Mukherjee, Asha Bhosle, Lata Mungeshkar, and Satinath Mukherjee.

In Preface, Peacocke states an expectation in his premise: " … the scientific panorama of the evolution of the cosmos from matter-energy into life and consciousness should surely afford a new and fruitful context for understanding any genuinely true insights that the Christian tradition might claim to possess . "

Peacocke's work is not dumbed-down for the masses, but rather is allowed full range of expression. Written in a style both challenging and elucidative, the author attempts to establish a connection between biological science and metaphysical appreciation in his rather unique study. Former Fellow at St. John's Church Peter's College and an Anglican priest, the author is no commoner, linguistically, and those wishing a refreshing experience in word usage are invited to read his unrestricted and creative use of the English language.

Thus, we detect direction and philosophical approach in Peacocke ministrations, and though he does miscalculate the Reality impact in definition, as does most of the world, he does indeed substitute Actuality's semantic intent with Reality historicity. Again, he mistakenly uses Reality in an accommodative language to exogenous evidence in causality: proposing the philosophy of science to have virtue of the implicit, though not often articulated, and the working philosophy of practicing scientists who plan to depict reality but knowing only too well their fallibility in doing so: for example, in the fields of geology, cell biology and chemistry, during the last two centuries, they, progressively, continuously discover hidden structures in the natural world entities accounting causally for observed phenomena. Theology, the intellectual formulation of religious experience and belief, also employs models similarly described and should be regarded as partial, inadequate, and revisable but necessary and, indeed, the only way referring to the reality named as God and to God relation with humanity. Here, Reality is correctly used in the God instance– but mistakenly as extension to Tribal finiteness. Correctly, Reality can be used only in historical context.

Peacocke ascribes homo sapiens uniqueness to 'sheer happenstance,' as the original fluctuation in a 'quantum field,' to an exchange in atoms from progressive intellectual development – in the likes of early outstanding primitives and evolved to Shakespeare, Mozart, Descartes, Einstein, et cetera.

If, by critique, a lesser intellect might add to Peacocke's mediations: In any field of development, anomalous incident must occur and with natural attraction in such like occurrence. We see such in Oriental physiognomy, Black physiognomics, Caucasian features, Native American diverseness. Now, there is an attempt to ameliorate these differences in DNA origination; such focus is against nature and can only lead to degeneracy in the whole, not an upgrade from synecdochical infusions. If we breed a stallion and donkey, all we can get is an ass. Peacocke did indirectly and perhaps more discretely allege such behavior when he suggested the notion of causality, when applied to systems, has usually been assumed to be 'bottom-up' to the effect on its properties and behavior of constituent units: recognizing influence of the system state as a whole on the behavior of its components, a constraint exercised by the whole on its parts.

Again, in critique, we inject a reasonable parallel to Peacocke's theory: Atoms behave differently in different environs. Different catalysts produce different results. Therefore, can we say man is impervious to evolutionary encouragements? I think not! Sentience, our only quality measuring device, confirms observation accounting such diversity, and apparent to the most casual enquiry.

Stepping outside the bounds of common understanding, Peacocke introduces The 'anthropic principle' to affirm a world finely tuned with respect to the many physical features conducive to the emergence of carbon-based life and so of human beings.

Peacocke expounds on the 'anthropic principle' and 'scientific immediacy' in a fecundity of natural occurrence, supra-personal direction, and scientific confirmation, when he suggests' existence of the whole tapestry of created order, in its warp and woof, and in the very heterogeneity and multiplicity of forms must be taken as the Creator's intention. ' Thus, he affirms the very principle he would at the first deny as having relativity. In trying to serve two masters, religion and science, Peacock errs as does Wilder-Smith, Glynn, Chopra, Scheler and other religionist-scientist ameliorationists. They cannot, of course, ameliorate the two disciplines; the one depends on syllogistic affirmation and the other on speculation; never, can one be made to affirm the other.

Peacocke pretty well sums up his philosophy when he proposes: 'within a relatively short time after our biological death, our bodies will lose their identity as atomic and molecular constituents begin to disperse through the earth and its atmosphere, often becoming a part of other human anatomy – to that perennial task of refurbishing our images of God – and humanity. '

If this critique might add further insight: We come full circle; God and Science would propose a dimension not normal in one-self-sure-be dedication: that is, after all, God makes humanity from humanity, from atomic reaction, from nature catalysts. While Peacocke offers synecdochical composition for the scientific basis, he declines to venture into reductionist metaphysics nor assign metaphysical particularities to the cause juxtaposed in exposition. Even so, this book furnishes cause to think.

This promises to be one of the most controversial articles I wrote; not because of the contents, but just because religious issues always are.

Earlier this year, it was two hundred years ago that Darwin was born. Fifty years later he presented his theory on the origin of species through evolution. I cannot claim to be an expert on his theory, but I understand its general premise and the evidence supporting its main concepts. The concept of evolution has gone beyond biology to inspire a set of algorithms that can be used to find solutions to difficult engineering problems. These are called evolutionary algorithms. They start from a random set of solutions and arrive to a near-optimal solution through successive generations created by merging the fittest members of the previous generation. Evolutionary algorithms have been used by many scientists for solving difficult optimization problems and they do work. Hence, at least in this context, there is merit to evolution as a way for adapting a solution to fit a specific environment.

Some people question Darwin’s theory on the origin of species and find it threatening to their religious beliefs. Does evolution as a theory affect my religious faith? Not really, First of all, Darwin’s theorem does not contradict the existence of God. It does not start from the beginning, but rather in the middle of the story ignoring the most important part: the root of it all. His theory merely explains a possible intelligent design for progression of creation. Secondly, faith for me and many others is based on a set of spiritual values not scientific facts. One cannot argue and disprove the former while the latter is fair game. To me, religion and science do not exist in the same domain and hence cannot cross paths. If you are a star-trek fan, you understand the concept of parallel domains. Scientists also use the concept of domains on daily basis as they analyze complex systems. They understand that you cannot liberally mix signals from different domain or the results would be disastrous. Simply speaking, science and religion cannot be used to contradict each other by the virtue of their own definition.

With this in mind one can always find a way to reconcile religious beliefs and scientific facts rather than declare the science as invalid based on our limited knowledge and intelligence. It was not long ago, relatively speaking, that earth was thought to be the center of the universe and that scientists declaring it not to be were thought misguided. This notion is now thought of as laughable and no one see it as a challenge to our religious beliefs, a far cry from how threatening this was at one point in our human history. Declaring religion to be an illusion based on a theory is just as dangerous and misguided. God help those who lost their faith for faith is the greatest gift of God to humans. It is a power that sustains at times of hardship and a light that leads when only dark thoughts are abound. Without it, we are lonely amongst the closest of friends and kin and powerless at the peak of our strength.

In Illinois, a research facility has perfected a way of communicating with Bonomo Chimps and has been using this machine for 7-years now. The primates use the machine to talk to humans and have no problem using the 350 word machine, each with its own button to communicate.

Many people are amazed at this break through although they really should not be, because their findings are completely in line with Jane Goodall's research and the Institute in Washington State that works with Chimpanzees. In "The Language of Animals" by Stephen Hart discusses these types of communication between humans and animals are discussed in depth too and we should not be surprised by this great work in Illinois.

These Bonomo Chimps are impressive primates and we really are not all that different, as the DNA is barely 1% different. It is time that the world realized the truth. We must stop allowing religion to cloud our judgments of this science. One Bonomo Chimp Kanzi is a superstar, but all these primates are capable of this, as well as dolphins and other higher order mammals it is just a matter of time until our tools allow us to communicate with all of them.

Mankind needs to ditch their arrogance and religious beliefs long enough to wake up and realize the reality of the many species here on Earth. Indeed if we fail to realize that there is other intelligent life here on Earth then we miss a grand opportunity. If you do not believe they are intelligent because your Church, Mosque or Priest says so then you are denying reality. If you do not believe me, just ask them, because the Bonomo Chimps will tell you straight to your face? What are you afraid of – the truth? Think on it.

Let’s put the religious part of the debate for a moment, there will be time for that later. Currently there is much ethics debate from many different religious beliefs about cloning in both the scientific communities and the church. Enough in fact that the US Senate and Congress have already made a law against human cloning. This law effects US citizens and it is expected that future laws will be sanctioned and conditions enforced through trade agreements for all civilized and industrialized nations against cloning. Literally a world wide ban. However this does not mean that cloning will not exist in the future as we already see groups claiming the first human clone and others following suit. So for the sake of debate, and at the World Think Tank, all topics are to be discussed, worked out, all sides heard and all concepts evaluated. Below is such a cost study, which seems to indicate that cloning is not a profitable from a pure economic standpoint as one might think. Here are some real numbers thrown out to shed some light on the subject of the economic viability of human cloning.

I offer no solution to the problem only to study costs associated with the much debated subject of cloning. Now then put yourself in the driver’s seat and let’s begin.

If you wanted to have 20 clones of yourself, there will be a huge investment on your part. The cost to raise them until age 16 provided you ran the household like a business would be approximately $500 per month minimum until age 6, then $700 per month each until age 12, then $900 per month until age 16. This would include all the necessary things that you had while growing up; Cub Scouts, soccer shoes, little league, bicycle, after school activities so they arrive at age 16 with the proper social norms, strength of character and development necessary. This would not include schooling, which we assume would be paid by the state. However if you had 20 clones this is an overburden on society and there would surely be a law against that sometime in the future. In other words if the cloning was allowed and you were responsible for the costs, you would be responsible to subsidize for the extra units you brought into society. If you home schooled, then you would need a tutor or several, perhaps a coach and some extra educational or vocational training and we are assuming the need to clone on a massive level was for a business purpose. So the ROI would be considered within the costs.

Now let’s go over the costs above. 20 clones at $500.00 per month is $10,000 per month. Six years of this would be 72 months or $720,000.00, so then now you have 20 of “you” at age six and your job is hardly over indeed. Now then to take those kids to age twelve will cost you even more, another 72 months but at the rate of $700.00 per month or $14,000 per month, multiplied times 6 years is 1 million eighty thousand dollars. The last four years would be crucial to the development of strong, smart and worthy home grown leaders therefore you would spend about $900 per month per teen times 20 teens is $18,000 per month. Forty-eight additional months is going to cost you $864,000. So to get 20 clones to age 16 will cost you $2,592,000.00 in today’s dollars, yet we all know about inflation and it’s real costs. Now then to hire the help of in-house tutors, baby-sitters and instructors and of course mentors, coaches and teachers you are going to need a staff of no less than 3 people at an average of $35,000 per year for each for the first 6 years of cloning. 4 people for the next 10 years and better trained people with skills as well, for instance being able to teach physics, calculus, trigonometry, World history, sports skills also since these young people are you, you will want the best and perhaps up the ante or have special guests come in such as famous basket ball, football, baseball, golf, athletes or coaches for first class training in tactics, skill, finesse and sportsmanship and of course winning. How to win is what you are looking for.

This means about $55,000 times four staff members are needed. So let’s add in $100,000 per year for specialists to give them a first class leg up on the world. Now we have staff costs of $210,000 for the first six years per each staff member times three, which is $630,000. The next ten years staff costs are $2,200,000.00 plus special seminars and sports camps of 1 million. So training these clones and nurturing them costs you $3,200,000 minimum without inflation plus the $2,592,000 for food shelter, clothing, bicycles, sports gear, Nikes, etc which is $5,792,000.00 which in today’s money is considered a large cost. With proper tutoring at age sixteen they should be ready to accelerate to college level if you have done everything right. Four years of maximum study, five at most and they should be ready to run the family businesses. Each clone is costing you $289,600.00 even with the economies of scale of a huge group effort.

Let’s talk about mortality rates shall we. Currently the odds of getting a clone to age sixteen are almost nil as the negative aspects of aging are greatly exaggerated and therefore presently it is unlikely that any would reach age sixteen. Birth mortality rate is about 1/16 or so now, so you might have 21 or 22 to make sure 20 survived birth. Currently the birth mortality rate of cloning is probably more like 20:1, which means to get 20 you have to try 400 times. But after you have twenty born you still have other issues with infant death syndrome, disease, etc, which means you may need a few more to make sure you get to 20. if they are like you they will most likely do things like ride motorcycles, jump bicycles off jumps and generally do things which are dangerous and we have all had close friends growing up who did not make it. If you add in 3 extra clones assuming that all these issues of cloning and deaths is figured out in the future then you add $289,600 times three or $868,800.

With all these high costs, it seems cloning may not be such a good idea after all and perhaps it might be better for you to simply get married or adopt and split the costs with your spouse or significant other.

What say you, tell us your thoughts on the value of cloning, your thoughts on the costs associated, ways to cut costs, mistaken notions of the costs projected here. Porjected date of reality of cloning in the future? 5, 10, 20, 30 years to viability of concept, longevity of clone, death and mortality rate estimates? Tell us of your desire to have a clone of yourself? How such ideas effect you, cost to the general welfare, state, taxation rate, costs to society, health care. Would we all be created equal if in fact we were copies of ourselves? Tell us your thoughts, it is a subject of interest and soon there will be clones in the world, whether we like it or not, since many have the desire. Do you care? What can we do, should we do, any thought

According to the New York Times, Jordan Peterson is the most influential intellectual in the Western world right now. His book “12 Rules for Life” is an international best seller. However, if you happen to be sympathetic to a fundamentalist type of Christianity you may not like it. Peterson comes over as agnostic when it comes to the question of the existence of God.

Likewise, I would guess that, what the author finds to be enduring revelation in the book of Genesis, he will irritate those non-religious readers who see the Bible as neither timeless nor true.

I suspect Peterson’s popularity arises from his attempts to address the concerns and thinking of another type of reader. I’m thinking of those seeking after deep understanding of life who, coming from a Christian family culture, nevertheless question the religious beliefs of a previous generation.

Rules of life

I would say it would be difficult to take exception to any of the rules of life prescribed. For example, ‘Stand up straight with your shoulders back’. ‘Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping’. ‘Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient)’. Unfortunately, it is not obvious that all what is written about each specific rule is actually relevant.

He does give examples of where we should take responsibility, and honour moral obligations. And in discussing human difficulties, he does bring some sharp thinking to finding a better way forward in our lives. How your life improves by making sacrifices, by giving, by listening and generally by being part of something bigger than yourself. However, in my view, he does not really explain how his helpful observations relate to the theology he espouses.

There are a lot of ideas that seem to wander off in their own directions. This is probably part of the reason the book doesn’t flow and is hard going for the reader. Despite one ‘rule’ per chapter, the book lacks structure.

Being

Peterson seems more comfortable with the notion of Being than that of God. This idea of Being is said to be different from objective physical reality. Yet, he uses the term Being rather loosely. In general, he is referring to the totality of human experience such as emotions, dreams, revelations, perceptions. Some of these are negative, chaotic, even harsh. At times however, he speaks of Being as essential goodness also characterised as irreducible truth that is relevant to everybody now and in the future.

I would suggest that the theologian Emanuel Swedenborg’s idea of the spiritual world adds clarity here. According to this, there is a universal reality of love and wisdom that is a source for all that is good. It flows into all of life. This is an essence of divinity Swedenborg calls God. This spiritual energy is channelled into our world and inspires health, beauty and compassion. However, it can be turned upside down, by human beings, inverted so to speak, so that their opposites also appear i.e. disease, ugliness and contempt.

Sacred writing

Peterson contends that the early chapters in Genesis are written as a metaphor describing human psychology rather than actual events in history. In other words, they describe why our lot is so tragedy ridden and ethically torturous. He sees these chapters as a narrative sequence almost unbearable in its profundity.

The spiritual message and psychological relevance of the picture of God in his way of thinking is all true. He notes, however, this is the case whether there is, or is not, actually a God. The message being we are no longer one with what he terms God and nature, and there is no simple turning back. He thinks the original people represented by Adam and Eve were in a state of perfection, their goodness being something bestowed rather than earned.

He says that the story reveals, in Adam’s shameful hiding, our unwillingness to walk with God. (This despite, what he says, is our fragility and propensity for evil.)

This appears to be in keeping with the idea of our human soul turning away from the reality of the divine source into the illusion of self-centeredness.

Peterson also considers that the entire Bible is structured so that everything after the Fall – the history of Israel, the prophets, the coming of Christ – is presented as a remedy for that Fall

Likewise, I would say that the Bible provides a prophecy of the soul’s reawakening and return to reality.

Evil

The book implies that the human capacity for depravity and despicable behaviour legitimises the notion of ‘original sin’. This he acknowledges is very unpopular in modern intellectual circles. To my mind the notion of original sin is mistaken although I would say sin is real enough. But only if we regard it as our blocking the divine life flowing into us through wilfully going against it. We do this when we go against our inner conscience of what is deeply meaningful.

The use of the word wilfully is in line with the idea of human free-will. Being inwardly free to choose between good and bad influences, we are responsible for our own conduct. Hence as Peterson points out, although many, perhaps even most, of the adults who abuse children were abused themselves as children, nevertheless the majority of people who were abused as children do not abuse their own children.

Conclusion

People either like or hate this author. Those who favour nature over nurture, individual free-will and self-responsibility as well as a tough attitude towards woolly thinking, are more likely to take to him. But I think there is much of value here also for people who have a less conservative outlook. Far more than can I can mention in this short review.

If you are currently a legal Philippines resident and want to find out how to migrate to Canada from Philippines, then it is important that you do your research and learn what you can expect in coming to Canada.

Many people are making the decision to change their lives and they choose immigrating to Canada as a good opportunity for bettering their life. However, immigrants need to understand some of the differences as well as similarities between Canada and their nation. Once you have looked at these cultural differences and similarities, you will be able to make a more educated decision regarding whether to migrate as well as how you can best make use of the various immigration programs available. This article will discuss the similarities, differences and the immigration process.

Similarities between Canada and the Philippines

* A primary educational system that is very similar.
* Both countries have a democratic government.
* Similar acceptance of diverse cultures as well as similar religious beliefs.

Differences between Canada and the Philippines

* In the Philippine, sa secondary education is very expensive and only about 31% of the population will attend college.
* There is exceptional health care in Canada.
* There are very few opportunities for professional businesses in the Philippines, but skilled trade is more common.
* There is a lower rate of violence in Canada.
* Canada has much more advanced technology, retail and school supplies

As this list shows, there are many differences as well as similarities between these two countries. Not all Filipinos choose to relocate in search of a better life, but many of the Filipino-Canadians who have immigrated to Canada have done so because they were looking for opportunities that they did not have in the Philippines. With several programs in place, workers, self-employed people and students – as well as many others – can now immigrate to Canada to find a much higher quality of life. Take a look at the five programs listed below and maybe one of them will suit your particular situation.

Study

This is probably the most common way to immigrate from the Philippines to Canada. Immigrants can apply for a permit for Canadian study as well as the temporary resident visa in order to attend either a primary, secondary, vocational, language or post-secondary school. The person will need to be accepted into an institution for learning that is recognized and it must meet the permit requirements before they apply.

Temporary Work

If you want to work in Canada, you will need to have obtained a temporary work permit. It is also a good idea that you receive this permit before you enter Canada; however, there are some occupations which will allow applications while you are entering. It is required that you submit verification of the job acceptance, your temporary residence visa, as well as your ability to financially support yourself for the time you will be staying in Canada.

Self-Employed Persons

If you are self-employed currently and you have gained more than two years experience in a specific area, you might be eligible for the program for Self-Employed Persons. You will need to have an interest in contributing to Canada by engaging in cultural and economic activities in the country.

Entrepreneurs

Canada has an interest in immigrants who will be offering job opportunities to its residents. The Entrepreneur Program is one that welcomes entrepreneurs who consider immigrating to Canada in an effort to create jobs and help contribute to the economy. However, entrepreneurs will need to meet very stringent guidelines in order to qualify for a residency program of this type.

Canadian Experience Class

Immigrants who are currently residing in Canada with a temporary visa may find the Canadian Experience Class very beneficial. Studens and workers who have graduated or whose job assignments have ended, respectively, may be eligible to get permanent residency with this class. The immigrants must show that they understand the Canadian way of life and are familiar with Canada in order to be eligible to receive permanent residency.

If you are trying to relocate and you have the right intentions, immigrating to Canada has the potential to change your entire life.
