Cigarette Smoking Man

The **Cigarette Smoking Man** (abbreviated **CSM** or **C-Man**) is a fictional character, and one of the main players, in the American science fiction drama television series _The X-Files_.

He serves as the nemesis of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder. In the show's sixth season, his name is said to be **C.G.B. Spender**, but Dana Scully suggests this is one of "hundreds of aliases". He is almost always seen chain-smoking Morley cigarettes. In the eleventh season, he reveals his full name is **Carl Gerhard Busch**.

Although he utters only four audible words in the entire first season of the show, the Smoking Man eventually develops into the series' primary antagonist. In his early appearances he is seen in the offices of Section Chief Scott Blevins and Assistant Director Walter Skinner. They are Mulder and his partner Dana Scully's supervisors. Later episodes reveal snippets of his backstory and ties to Mulder’s family.

An influential man working for the powers that be, Smoking Man is a key member in a government conspiracy unit known only as the Syndicate. They are hiding the truth of alien existence and their plan to colonize Earth. Smoking Man's power and influence remains strong, after most of the Syndicate is destroyed.

The Smoking Man is portrayed by Canadian actor William B. Davis. When Davis first took the role, the character was written as an extra for the pilot episode. He returned for small cameo appearances during the first season, making increasingly more appearances in the seasons that followed. Davis never received an award for his portrayal alone, but he was nominated for ensemble awards.

_TV Guide_ included him in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.

Unintended pregnancy

An **unintended pregnancy** is when women get pregnant, but did not plan to. Such pregnancies happen because of bad timing, or they are unwanted  at the time of conception.

When people have sex, but do not use contraception, a pregnancy can result. Worldwide, almost half the pregnancies, about 45% of them, are unintended pregnancies. The exact figure varies by geographic region, by level of education, and other socioeconomic factors.  Unintended pregnancies may be **unwanted pregnancies** or **mistimed ones**. An unintended pregancy is one of the main reasons, why a woman chooses to have an abortion.  Depending on the circumstances, a miscarriage can occur.

Unintended pregnancies may be **unwanted pregnancies** or **mistimed pregnancies**.

While unintended pregnancies are the main reason for induced abortions, Unintended pregnancies may also have other outcomes, such as live births or miscarriages.

## Factors

Factors that have an influence are:

- _Younger age_: People who are younger do not use contraception as often as older ones; they may also use it incorrectlly
- _Relationship status_: People who live with a partner, but without being married (this is called cohabitation) have a higher rist of an unintended pregnancy
- _Lower income_: In many places in the world, using contraception is expensive. Poorer people might not be able to afford using it.
- _Lower level of education_: People with a lower level of eductation have a higher risk for an unintended pregnancy. In the United States, women without a high school degree had the highest unintended pregnancy rate among any educational level in 2011, at 73 per 1,000 (45% of all pregnancies in this group). Unintended pregnancy rates decreased with each level of education.
- Non-consensual intercourse: Sometimes, women get raped, or they are forced to become or stay pregnant against their will. This often happens i a context of domestic violence.

Unintended pregnacies also have other problems: Very often, the woman does not seek help with childbirth. It is common that a women get medical attention and counceling during pregnancy, and before the child is born. People who have an unintended pregnancy often do not seek this help.

## Public health implications

In the United States in 2011, 42% of all unintended pregnancies ended in abortion, and 58% ended in birth (not including miscarriages). Regardless of the outcome of the pregnancy, unintended pregnancies have significant negative impacts on individual and public health.

### Unintended births

Pregnancy, whether intended or unintended, has risks and potential complications. On average, unintended pregnancies that are carried to term result in poorer outcomes for the pregnant woman and for the child than do intended pregnancies.

Shangdi

**Shangdi** (), also written simply, "Emperor" (), is a Chinese word for god.

Although the name has shang in it, it is a different word in Chinese from Shang dynasty and has a different tone.

In Chinese religion Tian is usually used to refer to God. But "Shangdi" is used by some groups, including some Confucian philosophers, and Protestant Christianity.

## Etymology

"Shang Di" is the pinyin romanization of two Chinese characters. The first  , _Shàng_  means "highest" and "first"; the second  , _Dì_    refers to the High God of Shang, thus means "deity" (manifested god), . Thus, the name _Shangdi_ should be translated as "Highest Deity", but also has the implied meaning of "Primordial Deity" or "First Deity" in Classical Chinese. In the ancient books the shangdi is described with humanlike traits. He is also associated with the North Star.

Cangdi (the Bluegreen Emperor) is one of the five manifestations of Shangdi . He is associated with the wood and spring. He is worshipped as the god of fertility. The Bluegreen Dragon ( _Qīnglóng_) is both his animal form and constellation, and as a human he was _Tàihào_  (Fu Xi). His female consort is the goddess of fertility Bixia. His planet is Jupiter.

## Overview

The Confucian book, the Rites of Zhou, discusses the concept of the so-called "Wufang Shangdi". The Records of the Grand Historian, refers to the following: **Cangdi** (or _Qingdi_), Huangdi, Heidi, Chidi, and Baidi.

## Dongyue Dadi

Cangdi is known as Dongyue Dadi or the "Great Deity of the Eastern Peak" which refers to Mount Tai, a sacred mountain in China.

He is worshipped in both Daoism and Chinese Buddhism with this name.

Long ago, people believed that Mount Tai was a place where spirits of the dead gathered. They thought that the god of Mount Tai was the most powerful god of the underworld and controlled people's lives and status on Earth. In Daoism, people say that Dōngyuèdàdì is the grandson of the Jade Emperor.

During the Han dynasty, the Feng Shan ceremony was held on Mount Tai. This was a very important ceremony, and the emperor had to complete it to show that he had the mandate of heaven. The ceremony began in 219 BC, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, who was the first emperor of China.

Over time, the role of the Dongyue Emperor grew. He became more than a God of the local area. He became a god of life and death in general. In Taiwan, people perform a ritual called the storming of the city (打城) to honor the Dongyue Emperor. This shows how his role has changed over time.

The Uprising of the White Serpent (Chinese: 斬白蛇起義) is a famous story from China. It is said that a man named Liu became a leader after he killed a giant white serpent that was harming people. Liu was an outlaw at the time, but he had a special destiny. Later, when some of his followers saw an old woman crying, she told them that Liu was destined to be a great ruler. This made his followers believe even more in his leadership.

After Liu became a successful leader, he was declared Emperor Gaozu, first Emperor of the Han dynasty.

## Great Deity of the Western Peak

Baidi is also known as the Great Deity of the Western Peak and is associated with Mount Hua, one of the five great mountains. Long ago, people in China believed in worshipping mountains and rivers. Mount Hua was important because it was close to the capital city during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Emperor Wudi built a temple for Baidi at the bottom of Mount Hua. It was originally called Jilinggong Palace but later changed to Xiyue Temple. Baidi is also the father of two other gods named Huayue Sanniang and Huashan Sanlang. According to a book called Li Shi, Baidi is believed to be able to control the clouds and rain, create everything in the world, and help people.

Religious Confucianism

**Religious Confucianism** is the idea that Confucianism is a religion. It originated in the time of Confucius with his defense of traditional religious institutions of his time such as the Jongmyo rites, and the Ritual Music System.

The Chinese name for Religious Confucianism is Rujiao (), the word for secular Confucianism is Rujia (). The differences can be roughly translated with 教 jiao meaning religion, and 家 jia meaning school.

Religious Confucianism includes ancestor worship,  sacrifices, and sacrifices to heaven in its practice.

Religious Confucianism worships Confucius, the seventy-two disciples, Mencius, Zhu Xi, and Shangdi.

In Chinese Buddhism, Confucianism and Daoism, are called the "three teachings."

Religious Confucianism has been promoted by the government from the Han dynasty until the 1911 Revolution. The Five Classics became the foundation of the Chinese legal system, and the Spring and Autumn Courts. Religious Confucian organizations known as Confucian Churches formed in the Qing dynasty have significant popularity among Overseas Chinese people today.

LGBT reproduction

**LGBT reproduction** is when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people have biological kids. They do this with help from medical technology. This is different from LGBT parenting. LGBT parenting includes things like LGBT adoption. In recent years, scientists have been studying and making ways to help same-sex couples have kids..

The main ways being looked at are creating sperm from women and eggs from men. In 2004, Japanese scientists changed the job of some genes. They used two mouse eggs to make baby mice. In 2018, Chinese scientists made 29 female mice from two mother mice. But they couldn't make baby mice from two father mice. One possible way is to get sperm and eggs from skin stem cells.

Not being able to use medical technology to have kids is seen as unfair health care for LGBT people.
