** ""Style"'s Mentor: "The whole idea of not having your cake and eating it - the expression is wrong. The saying should be: you can't have your cake and eat it. "Style": I'm not sure I get the meaning. "Style"'s Mentor: "It means you should be glad you were experiencing the luxury of a cake in the first place. So stop staring at it and woŕrying what you will lose by commiting to it - and start enjoying it. Cakes were meant to be eaten, not collected." I hated him sometimes. For being right."

# James, son of Zebedee

James, son of Zebedee (Hebrew: יַעֲקֹב Yaʿqob, Greek: Ἰάκωβος; died 44 AD) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and traditionally considered the first apostle to be martyred. He was a son of Zebedee and Salome, and brother of John the Apostle. He is also called James the Greater or James the Great to distinguish him from James and James the Just. James the Greater is the patron saint of Spain and Portugal.
Above reference contradicts traditional attribution of the New Testament Epistle of St. James (quoted below) to James the Less, a.k.a. James the Just, the Brother of Jesus, and James of Alpheus. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_(brother_of_Jesus) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistle_of_James

## Quotes

* For the one who does not practice mercy will have his judgment without mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
** James 2:13, NWT
* Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it? If a brother or a sister is lacking clothing and enough food for the day, yet one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but you do not give them what they need for their body, of what benefit is it? So, too, faith by itself, without works, is dead.
** James 2:14-17, NWT
* Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
** James 3:5-6, KJV
* But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
** James 3:17-18, KJV
* Come, now, you rich men, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothing has become moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted away, and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh. What you have stored up will be like a fire in the last days. Look! The wages you have withheld from the workers who harvested your fields keep crying out, and the cries for help of the reapers have reached the ears of Jehovah of armies. You have lived in luxury and for self-gratification on the earth. You have fattened your hearts on the day of slaughter.
** James 5:1-5, NWT

# Expedition of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb

Expedition of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb or the Demolition of al-Lat, occurred in the same year as the Battle of Tabuk[1] (which occurred in October 630 AD[2] ). Muhammad sent Abu Sufyan[3] with a group armed men to destroy the Idol Allāt (also referred to as al-Tagiyyah) that was worshipped by the citizens of Taif.[citation needed] The destruction of the idol was a demand by Muhammad before any reconciliation could take place with the citizens of Taif.

## Quotes

* the Messenger of God dispatched Abu Sufyan b. Harb and al Mughirah b. Shu’bah to demolish al-Taghiyyah. The two traveled with the deputation until they approached al-Ta’if, at which point al-Mughirah asked Abü Sufyån to precede him. Abu Sufyan refused, saying, “Go to your kinsfolk yourself,” and stayed at his estate in Dhû al-Harm. When al-Mughirah b. Shu’bah entered [al-Ta’if], he mounted the idol and struck it with a pick axe while his folk, the Banu Mu’attib, stood by him, fearing that he might be shot at or struck as Urwah had been. The women of Thaqif came out with their heads uncovered and said, lamenting the loss of the] idol…
** The History of al-Ṭabarī, Vol-9, p.46
* While al-Mughirah was striking the idol with the axe, Abū Sufyan was saying, “Alas for you, alas!” When al-Mughirah had demolished it, he took its treasure and ornamentations and sent [it] to Abū Sufyän. Its ornamentation was made up of various items, while its treasure consisted of gold and onyx.
** The History of al-Ṭabarī, Vol-9, p.46
* Come not to Allat, for God hath doomed her to destruction; How can you stand by one which doth not triumph? Verily that which, when set on fire, resisted not the flames, Nor saved her stones, is inglorious and worthless. Hence when the Apostle in your place shall arrive. And then leave, not one of her votaries shall be left.
** Kitāb al-ʾAṣnām, translated by Nabih Amin Faris, p.16

# Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a 2008 independent documentary film, directed by Nathan Frankowski and hosted by Ben Stein. The film contends that the mainstream science establishment suppresses academics who believe they see evidence of intelligent design in nature.
    Directed by Nathan Frankowski. Written by Kevin Miller, Ben Stein, and Walt Ruloff.

## Quotes about Expelled

* "Ben Stein wants you to stop thinking of evolution as an actual science supported by verifiable facts and logical arguments and to start thinking of it as a dogmatic, atheistic ideology akin to Marxism."
** John Rennie, "Ben Stein's Expelled: No Integrity Displayed", Scientific American, April 9, 2008
* "Ben Stein has a new movie out... called Expelled. It is powerful. It is fabulous." "His interviews with some of the professors who espouse Darwinism are literally shocking. [Despite the] condescension and the arrogance these people have, they will readily admit that Darwinism and evolution do not explain how life began." "These people are so threatened by the existence of God, they will not permit intelligent design to be discussed. Professors have been fired, blackballed, and prevented from working who have deigned to try to combine the whole concept of evolution with intelligent design." "[T]he point of it is that these people on the left are just scared to death of God. It threatens everything. We, on the other hand, recognize that our greatness, who we are, our potential, our ambition, our desire, comes from God"
** Rush Limbaugh, "Ben Stein's Film Blew Rush Away," The Rush Limbaugh Show, March 18, 2008
* "This propaganda production would make Joseph Goebbels proud."
** Michael Shermer, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed—Ben Stein Launches a Science-free Attack on Darwin", Scientific American, April 9, 2008
* "Stein puts to Dawkins a simple question, 'How did life begin?' ... Dawkins, however, frankly admits that he has no idea. ... Evolution has no explanation for how life got started in the first place. Darwin was very clear about this.... In order for evolution to take place, there had to be a living cell. The difficulty for atheists is that even this original cell is a work of labrynthine complexity. Franklin Harold writes in The Way of the Cell that even the simplest cells are more ingeniously complicated than man's most elaborate inventions.... "
** Ben Stein Exposes Richard Dawkins": [Dinesh D'Souza, 4-18-08]

# Expedition of Ali ibn Abi Talib (Al-Fuls)

The Expedition of Ali ibn Abi Talib, against the Banu Tai tribe, took place in August 630 AD, 9AH, second month, of the Islamic Calendar.

## Quotes

* The Messenger of God sent “Ali with a hundred and fifty men on a hundred camels and fifty horses. Only the Ansār, and that included the Aws and the Khazraj, participated in the raid. They went along side the horses and took turns on the camels until they attacked the tribes of the Bedouin. He inquired about the region of the families of Halam, then he alighted upon them. Then they raided them with the dawn. They took prisoners until their hands were full, and cattle and sheep. They attacked al-Fuls, the idol of the Ṭayyi and destroyed it.

# Jacob Marschak

Jacob Marschak (23 July 1898 – 27 July 1977) was a Ukrainian-American economist.

## Quotes about Marschak

* I had the fortune to meet Jacob Marschak. He took me in his hands. There were other good people there, but he was very instrumental in giving me a style. [...] I would say the combination of theory, that is, modeling, with testing of empirical facts. The objective was to develop models that could be tested. Marschak also emphasized the importance of mathematics and econometrics, something that was quite unusual at that time. He was a wonderful teacher. He taught me macroeconomics. We discussed Keynes and Schumpeter. So he helped me to develop both in terms of tools and of ideas. Marschak invited me to a very distinguished seminar, attended by prominent economists such as Oskar Lange, Tjalling Koopmans, and Abraham Wald. Abba Lerner would come now and then.
** Franco Modigliani, in Conversations with Economists (1983) by Arjo Klamer
# Jacob Mendes Da Costa

Jacob Mendes Da Costa (February 7, 1833 – September 12, 1900) was an American physician. He is particularly known for discovering Da Costa's syndrome (also known as soldier's heart), an anxiety disorder combining effort fatigue, dyspnea, a sighing respiration, palpitation and sweating that he first observed in soldiers in the American Civil War.

## Quotes

* I think that the cultivation of the humane letters has the most distinct bearing on the cultivation and appreciation of science. Science is nothing without imagination; and imagination is most readily kept fresh by literature. What little good there is a mere descriptive person, and in the small facts which with painful toil he accumulates. But let these facts be welded together by thought, their bearing traced by imagination, experiments devised by the mind projecting itself in advance of them, and the plodder is likely to become the great discoverer.
** Da Costa, Jacob M. The Higher Professional Life: Valedictory Address to the Graduating Class of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Philadelphia, PA: J.B. Lippincott & Co, 1883.
* I declare I hold [physicians] to be true heroes, when I regard their hard existence, their pure pathetic lives; when I recall their cheerfulness and manliness; when I see them, generously forgetful of self, answering every call with alacrity; when I think of the warm heart that beats so steadfastly under the fuzzy damp coat; when I know that the lantern that guides them in a dark night to the house of distress is but like their own calm purpose and resolve shining forth to guide and comfort others.
# Jacob Riis

Jacob August Riis (May 3, 1849 – May 26, 1914) was a Danish-American social reformer, "muckraking" journalist, and social documentary photographer.

## Quotes

* When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it—but all that had gone before.
** James Clear's Atomic Habits as attributed to Riis in the San Antonio Spurs locker room
** Originally from The Making of an American (1901), p. 253

# Haloalkane

The haloalkanes (also known as halogenoalkanes or alkyl halides) are a group of chemical compounds derived from alkanes containing one or more halogens. They are a subset of the general class of halocarbons, although the distinction is not often made. Haloalkanes are widely used commercially and, consequently, are known under many chemical and commercial names. They are used as flame retardants, fire extinguishants, refrigerants, propellants, solvents, and pharmaceuticals. Subsequent to the widespread use in commerce, many halocarbons have also been shown to be serious pollutants and toxins.

## Quotes

* Alkyl halides are not often found in terrestrial organisms, but the kinds of reactions they undergo are among the most important and well-studied reaction types in organic chemistry. ... Simple alkyl halides can be prepared by radical halogenation of alkanes, but mixtures of products usually result. ... Alkyl halides can also be prepared from alkenes by reaction with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to give the product of allylic bromination. ... Alcohols react with HX to form alkyl halides, but the reaction works well only for tertiary alcohols, R$_3$COH. ... Alkyl halides also react with lithium metal to form organolithium reagents, RLi. In the presence of CuI, these form diorganocoppers, or Gilman reagents (LiR$_2$Cu).
** John McMurry, Organic Chemistry 8th ed. (2012), Ch. 10. Organohalides
# Halogenation

Halogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the reaction of a halogen with another chemical, and results in the halogen being added to it.

## Quotes

* When the halogenation reaction is carried out on a cycloalkene, such as cyclopentene, only the trans stereoisomer of the dihalide addition product is formed rather than the mixture of cis and trans isomers that might have been expected if a planar carbocation intermediate were involved. We say that the reaction occurs with anti stereochemistry ...
** John McMurry, Organic Chemistry 8th ed. (2012), Ch. 8 : Alkenes: Reactions and Synthesis.
* Hydrohalogenation is the addition of hydrogen halides HX (X = Cl, Br, and I) to alkenes to form alkyl halides. Two bonds are broken in this reaction—the weak π bond of the alkene and the HX bond—bond two new σ bonds are formed—one to H and one to X. Because X is more electronegative than H, the H – X bond is polarized, with a partial positive charge on H. Because the electrophilic (H) end of HX is attracted to the electron-rich double bond, these reactions are called electrophilic additions.
** Janice G. Smith, Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed. (2011), Ch. 10 : Alkenes.
* An example of electrophilic aromatic substitution is halogenation. Benzene is normally unreactive in the presence of halogens, because halogens are not electrophilic enough to disrupt its aromaticity. However, the halogen may be activated by Lewis acidic catalysts, such as ferric halides (FeX$_3$) or aluminum halides (AlX$_3$), to become a much more powerful electrophile. (...) The halogenation of benzene becomes more exothermic as we proceed from I$_2$(endothermic) to F$_2$ (exothermic and explosive). Chlorinations and brominations are achieved with the help of Lewis acid catalysts that polarize the X – X bond and activate the halogen by increasing its electrophilic power.

# Henry Spira

Henry Spira (June 19, 1927 – September 12, 1998) was a Belgian-American merchant seaman, journalist and animal rights activist.

## Quotes

* If you see something that's wrong, you've got to do something about it.
   * Ethics Into Action: Henry Spira and The Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer (1998).
* It was very dispiriting because a lot of things needed to be done. One of the things that happened was, if you had a good rank-and-file activist in a trade union situation, they would make them an offer to become part of the staff—at which point the person was totally lost to the campaign where they were a catalyst and became part of an apparatus that was basically going nowhere. The odd thing is, despite The Permanent Revolution being on the bookshelves, they would explain everything by going back and finding a quote from Trotsky or from Lenin in order to explain things, as opposed to explaining how things were in the real world. . . . They were basically just living in their own universe as opposed to making real life connections.
   * Ethics Into Action: Henry Spira and The Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer (1998).
* It didn't make any sense to me, to put out a publication, to tell people about atrocities, and ask them to send money so we can tell you next month about more atrocities. Meanwhile, the atrocities keep increasing, the treasuries of tha antivivisection groups keep increasing, and it doesn't help one solitary animal.
    It just defies common sense to me why people would be doing that. What's the point in giving people an ulcer, getting people upset, getting them frustrated, and telling them, what we're going to do is frustrate you next month, isn't that nice?
   * Ethics Into Action: Henry Spira and The Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer (1998).
* Certainly, self-righteous anti-vivisection societies had been hollering, "Abolition! All or Nothing!" But that didn't help the laboratory animals, since while the anti-vivisection groups had been hollering, the number of animals used in United States laboratories had zoomed from a few thousand to over 70 million. That was a pitiful track record, and it seemed a good idea to rethink strategies which have a century-long record of failure.
   * Ethics Into Action: Henry Spira and The Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer (1998).
* We identify with the powerless and the vulnerable—the victims, all those dominated, oppressed, and exploited. And it is the nonhuman animals whose suffering is the most intense, widespread, expanding, systematic, and socially sanctioned of all. What can be done? What are the patterns underlying effective social struggles?
   * Ethics Into Action: Henry Spira and The Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer (1998).
* There is a rich tradition to help answer this question ["What can be done?"]. It's the fight for human freedom. And the fundamental lesson is that the meek don't make it. But audacity must be fused with attention to detail, with an awareness of social attitudes, power relations and scientific possibilities.
   * Ethics Into Action: Henry Spira and The Animal Rights Movement by Peter Singer (1998).
