Televangelist Sells $125 'Silver Solution' as Cure for Coronavirus:

Further, Silver Solution's page on Bakker's site contains a link to a warning specifically for residents of California. Under a California law, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (also known as Proposition 65), the store is required to warn that Silver Solution "contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."

Sellman is a naturopathic doctor—a designation distinct from a mainstream medical doctor. Naturopathy, according to information from the alternative medicine university Bastyr University, is a "system of primary health care that emphasizes prevention and the self-healing process through the use of natural therapies."

Naturopathy's legitimacy is contested. Some professionals consider it to be based in pseudoscience, but 22 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. offer licenses to naturopathic doctors, according to the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC).

However, Dr. JoAnn Yanez, the executive director of the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges, clarified to Newsweek that Sellman has not met the educational standards that the organization requires.

Sellman "is neither a graduate of an accredited naturopathic medical program, nor has [she] obtained a doctoral level degree from a program recognized by the US Department of Education," Yanez wrote in a statement to Newsweek. "[Her] online profile mentions graduating from the Trinity School of Natural Healing (AKA Health), which is not accredited and confers 'degrees' not recognized by any governmental institution. 'Graduates' of these programs are not considered licenseable [sic] medical practitioners."

Yanez further requested that Newsweek reiterate that Sellman is not a graduate of any institution accredited by AANMC.

Time Is Still a Mystery to ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ Author - The New York Times

Time Is Still a Mystery to ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ Author - The New York Times: Dr. Lightman would go on to have his own moments. He described one such incident in a memoir, “Searching for the Stars from an Island in Maine,” when, early in his research career, a difficult calculation fell suddenly into place: “My head was floating off my shoulders. I felt weightless. I was floating. And I had no sense of my self, where I was, or who I was. I did have a feel of rightness.”

Many scientists will tell you these are the most precious moments in their lives. Dr. Lightman said that it had happened to him five or six times in his scientific career. But he believes most theorists dry up by the age of 40 or so. “You just seem to have more of what it takes at a young age,” he said. “It’s kind of like athletic limberness.”

Black History Month: The "Black Mozart": Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, swordsman, violinist, composer

About Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges: African-French composer, violinist and conductor, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges won fame as France’s finest fencer before launching his career in classical music. Saint-Georges, who made music in the court of Marie Antoinette and went on to lead a regiment of black soldiers in the French Revolution, was considered a trailblazer during his time.

Born Joseph de Bologne, his father was George de Bologne de Saint-Georges, a member of a wealthy family who had lived in the French West Indies colony of Guadeloupe since 1645. He married Élisabeth Merican on September 8, 1739. By January of 1740, he had moved to a 250-acre plantation with 60 slaves. One of the slaves was a 17-year-old named Anne but was called Nanon. She was of African descent and was born on the island. George and Nanon began an intimate relationship shortly after his arrival. Their son Joseph de Bologne came into the world on Christmas Day, 1745. His African heritage made him ineligible for the nobility and its titles under French law.  Full bio at this link above.

Laker Theology

Heard on NPR Saturday, February 1, 2020, 7:24 AM, an interviewee speaking on the Laker tribute to their departed hero the night before at the Staples Center, by way of explanation for the public outpouring:

"In my opinion, "Death earns someone a clean slate.""

Trouble is, it's just not so.

Only faith in Jesus Christ affords someone a "clean slate."  (Romans 8, no more condemnation.)  After this life, comes the judgment.  Apparently Kobe had that faith:  his last action before boarding the ill-fated flight was to attend Mass with daughter, Gigi.  Both took communion.

It was the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and his faith in it, and his (presumed) repentance, that afforded Kobe the "clean slate."

We are all going to have a "helicopter crash" someday, i.e., a curtain rung down on our time on stage, whether early, middle or late.  We need to exit with that "clean slate."  There is only one way.
