# Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act

The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted in 1960 to prevent the infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering on animals and to amend the laws relating to the prevention of cruelty to animals. The act defines "animal" as 'any living creature other than a human being'.

## Quotes

* I'm writing to you from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India on behalf of our more than two million members and supporters to request that you delete Section 28 of The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, which allows any animal to be killed in any manner for religion... We hope you will agree that Section 28 is an aberration in the land of 'ahimsa', 'karuna', and, increasingly, modern technology and where Article 51A(g) of the Constitution of India requires compassion for all living creatures.

## Sourced

* Philosophy can take us no further than enabling us to command a clear view of the concepts by means of which we think about the world, and, by so doing, to attain a firmer grasp of the way we represent the world in our thought. It is for this reason and in this sense that philosophy is about the world.

# Michael E. Mann

Michael E. Mann (born 1965) is an American climatologist and geophysicist, currently director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University.

## Quotes

* ...If we fail to act to bring down our carbon emissions over the next decade, this will lock in disastrous melting of the ice sheets, sea level rise, and a rise in devastating weather extremes down the road. (2019)

## Quotes about Mann

* this vision could have been built into the global trade architecture that would rise up in the early to mid-1990s. If we had continued to reduce our emissions at that pace we would have been on track for a completely de-carbonized global economy by mid-century. But we didn't do any of those things. And as the famed climate scientist Michael Mann, director of the Penn State Earth System Science Center, puts it, "There's a huge procrastination penalty when it comes to emitting carbon into the atmosphere": the longer we wait, the more it builds up, the more dramatically we must change to reduce the risks of catastrophic warming.
** Naomi Klein This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate (2014)
* "There's no question that climate change has increased the frequency of certain types of extreme weather events," climate scientist Michael Mann told me in an interview, "including drought, intense hurricanes, and supertyphoons, the frequency and intensity and duration of heat waves, and potentially other types of extreme weather though the details are still being debated within the scientific community.'
** Naomi Klein This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate (2014)
* According to Ben Santer, “Professor Mike Mann has been a world leader in scientific efforts to understand the natural variability of the climate system and to reconstruct global temperature variations over the past two millennia. This critically important work led to the famous 'hockey-stick' temperature reconstruction. The hockey stick provides compelling evidence for the emergence of a human-caused warming signal from the background noise of natural fluctuations in climate.”
* At the other end of the spectrum are stories that it's too late, that it's all over, that there's nothing left to do. Misinterpretations of the data lead some to declare that the Earth itself is going to die or human beings are going to die out in the near future, stories that clash with what the evidence tells us. They make people feel terrible, and they make them passive. Doomism, as climate scientist Michael Mann calls it, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if it prevents the action that can shift us away from the worst-case scenarios.

## Quotes
### O'Hanlon: Policymakers Need to Know More History (HNN, 3/26/2023)

O'Hanlon: Policymakers Need to Know More History (HNN, 3/26/2023)
* War is hell. War is unpredictable, difficult, dangerous—and usually (though not always) worse than its initiators expect when conflict begins. War has features that remain fairly similar from century to century, once you take a reflective perspective and look back on things.
* [American] Civil War was effectively our first industrial-scale war. It led to mass mobilization at the human and economic/industrial levels. It also involved long-distance movements and communications, by train and telegraph, in ways that arguably make it the first modern war. It produced as many American casualties as all the rest of our wars combined, so can hardly be ignored in a book about major U.S. wars. It also illustrated warfare at the campaign or theater level of analysis perhaps more clearly and cleanly than any other conflict.
* We are at once the most powerful nation in the history of the human race, yet because of nuclear weapons, we are vulnerable to rapid destruction by foreign powers in a way we cannot prevent. That is a paradox. We also have lopsided advantages over most other countries (perhaps not China, but definitely Russia). Yet those advantages do not guarantee victory in war in the modern era (we struggled against the Vietcong, the Taliban, Iraqi insurgents and militias—the list goes on).
# Mason Weems

Mason Locke Weems (11 October 1756 – 23 May 1825), often referred to as Parson Weems, was an American printer and author known as the author of Life of Washington (1806), the source for several of the most famous legends about George Washington, "the Father of his Country," including the famous tale of the cherry tree.

## Quotes

* Even common passions... will put him up to his mettle.
** Life of Washington, i. 6. (1800)
* I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.
** Portrayed as the words of the young George Washington, confessing to have damaged a cherry tree in Life of Washington (1800)
* Feeling that the silver chord of life is loosing, and that his spirit is ready to quit her old companion the body, he extends himself on his bed — closes his eyes for the last time, with his own hands — folds his arms decently on his breast, then breathing out "Father of mercies! take me to thyself," — he fell asleep. Swift on angels' wings the brightening saint ascended; while voices more than human were heard (in Fancy's ear) warbling through the happy regions, and hymning the great procession towards the gates of heaven. His glorious coming was seen far off, and myriads of mighty angels hastened forth, with golden harps, to welcome the honored stranger.
** Description of Washington's death in Life of Washington (1800); this fanciful account bears no relation to the report of Washington's last words by his personal secretary Tobias Lear, who wrote in his journal (14 December 1799): About ten o'clk he made several attempts to speak to me before he could effect it, at length he said, — "I am just going. Have me decently buried; and do not let my body be put into the Vault in less than three days after I am dead." I bowed assent, for I could not speak. He then looked at me again and said, "Do you understand me? I replied "Yes." "Tis well" said he.

# Mass (liturgy)

The Mass is the Eucharistic celebration in the liturgical rites of the Roman Catholic Church, and of some Protestant churches.
This page quotes from online texts of the Mass in Latin and English.

## About Mass (liturgy)

* Once the Mass is restored to its rightful place, we will again see choirs being developed. New compositions will be written because the composers, like their forebears, will see the setting of the Mass text to music as a means of possibly expiating their sins and assuring their music's immortality. Musicians will fight for the chance to become organists and choirmasters. The faithful will clamor for it. It will again become part of a living tradition.

## Quotes
### The Corruption of Economics (1994)

* It was Mill who popularized the idea of raising taxes on landowners only after first compensating them, thus buying the right to tax them. It was a selective scruple: neither Mill nor anyone, to my knowledge, ever proposed compensating workers, consumers, or the owners of capital before taxing them. It was something of a red herring, because it assured that net revenues would be about zero. It simply gave debaters something to chew on while precluding meaningful action.
** Pg 45
* Mr. Wharton's views are not stated, but might be inferred from the Wharton estate's holding of 100,000 acres in New Jersey, lying between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. This land supported towns and industries in the 18th century, but under the Whartons went out of use

# Masoud Ghadirian

Masoud Ghadirian (born October 24, 1990, in Iran) is an Iranian professional bodybuilder. He won the first title of the 2021 Romanian International Grand Prix and the 2022 Asian Bodybuilding Cup.

## Quotes

* The national bodybuilding champion of Iran, Masoud Ghadirian, works for a nonprofit organization that aims to lessen the incidence of addiction and depression in his country.
* "The global economic downturn and Iran's high inflation rate have put young people in Iran in a difficult situation," he says. It is now time to change young people's mental states and protect them from addiction and depression."
* "Iranian young people cannot continue sports activities, particularly bodybuilding, because of the inflation rate and high prices," he adds. They believe that using bodybuilding drugs and sports supplements is a necessary part of participating in professional sports."
* Masoud Ghadirian believes that healthy nutrition can be a good substitute for sports supplements while also warning young people about the dangers of using hormonal supplements. This is the solution to increasing social happiness while decreasing the prevalence of depression and addiction.
* In a situation where sports instructors and bodybuilding champions usually encourage young people to take expensive sports supplements, he takes such measures. He says, "In a society facing economic recession, the use of a fixed method by all trainers and instructors can reduce people's desire for excursions and following a healthy lifestyle."
* Masoud ghadirian suggests that young athletes consume more healthy foods and vitamins rather than sports supplements. One of the possible reasons for his popularity among Iranian athletes is that bodybuilding is not a business for him; rather, he is concerned with athletes' health.
* he, a well-known and well-liked Iranian bodybuilder, advocates the use of safe medicinal plants. Masoud Ghadirian is one of the most influential bodybuilders in Iran, in my opinion.
* because he has become a popular and famous sports model for Iranian young people since 2020 and uses innovative methods to encourage the youth to exercise and engage in health-promoting behaviors.
* he tries to introduce appropriate solutions to people in order to motivate them to exercise at the lowest possible cost.
* Masoud ghadirian has inspired many young people who were unable to continue their sports activities due to financial constraints to exercise at a lower cost. Fitness and a healthy and happy lifestyle can have a direct impact on society's mental health.
