Chastity belt

A chastity belt is a belt device designed to prevent sexual intercourse on the part of the person wearing it. 
The chastity belt has been popular in the public mind due to its apparent suppression of human sexuality and the dominant religious and patriarchal motives behind enforcing the chastity of the person wearing it. They've occasionally been the butt of a few jokes, such as when Robin Hood had to call for a locksmith at the end of Men in Tights. However, there's little evidence to suggest that they were as popular in history as some fiction and romantic ideals may suggest, and even when they were used, it was mostly to prevent masturbation rather than intercourse, and even then only in Victorian Britain. People who have successfully completed a long stretch of time wearing a chastity belt are sometimes called fapstinents.Klein, Marty. "Skeptical of the porn skeptics: a response to Zimbardo & Wilson." Skeptic (Altadena, CA) 21.3 (2016): 27-31.
In fact, the device's medieval popularity is greatly exaggerated for modern BDSM sensibilities, or, like the flat earth myth, these exaggerations are intended to portray the church-dominated past as even more idiotic or oppressive than it really was. There is no credible evidence that chastity belts existed before 1500. Even then, their use would have been very limited as the metalworking of the times would have made it difficult to fashion a belt safe for long-term wear. On the other hand, they are increasingly popular nowadays for use in powerplay sex games - indeed, they are far more popular now than they ever were for "real" use. Enjoy!

Cheetah

The Cheetah is a cat-like animal notable for being the fastest land animal (reaching speeds up 110km/h), and having experienced a genetic bottleneck during the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago.
There are currently about 8,000 to 10,000 wild cheetahs left. In zoos cheetahs live about 8 to 12 years, but may live a long as 17 years. No one has studied cheetah longevity in the wild. Cub mortality is very high and about 90 percent die before they are 3 months old.http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/AfricanSavanna/Facts/fact-cheetah.cfm
Cheetahs are fast but pretty wimpy, and will flee from pretty much anything,http://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/10/science/cheetahs-appear-vigorous-despite-inbreeding.html so no need to panic should you ever encounter one in a dark alley.
==Creationism==
Creationists love cheetahs, as they appear to confirm various of their beliefs if one cherry picks the right data.
The existence of genetic variation can be trivially proven by the existence of the rare "king cheetah", which has distinctly different fur pattern due to a genetic mutation.
Even a hypothetical population which has absolutely no genetic variation will soon develop variation, due to natural selection's non-random selection of random mutations. Even Answers in Genesis doesn't deny natural selection,https://answersingenesis.org/natural-selection/ and it's in fact a critical part of baraminology.
If that isn't enough for you, the DNA of several cheetahs have been sequenced and compared. The average nucleotide diversity is about 0.0131, compared to about 0.0416 in domestic cats.http://www.nature.com/hdy/journal/v86/n3/full/6888400a.html
But hey, let's ignore all that.

Cherry Hill Seminary

Cherry Hill Seminary is an online graduate school for Pagan studies. The school offers Masters degrees in Divinity, Pastoral Counseling, Chaplaincy, Pagan Ministry, and Pagan Studies. Cherry Hill Seminary claims to be "the only online Pagan school that can legally grant degrees and diplomas", though this doesn't quite square with their nonaccredited status. However several states have religious exemption from accreditation because of their beliefs (See Academic accreditation for more information). Despite being unaccredited at this point CHS is highly respected in the Pagan community. 
==Accreditation==
The Cherry Hill Seminary website states that the school is not yet accredited but is seeking accreditation through the Distance Education and Accrediting Commission, an accrediting group recognized by the United States Department of Education. The process is costly and will take several years to complete.
==Staff and Business office==
Cherry Hill has a business office in South Carolina, and has actual teaching staff. 
==The school==
There are courses in Paganism and Wicca as well as courses related to New Age topics. There is a bookstore for students for educational materials. There is financial aid and students can get tuition refunds if programs are not completed. The seminary also offers non-degree courses for those who do not want to go for a degree and the school has non-degree diplomas. Diplomas include- Life Long Learning, Pagan Pastoral Care for Helping Professionals, Leadership, and Soma/Psyche/Spirit.
Example Courses

==Theological Educational Equivalency==
Despite lack of accreditation one of the CHS alumni was accepted into the Association of Professional Chaplains. The APC requires an Masters of Divinity degree from an accredited seminary or divinity school. There is a book about this written by alumni Reverend Sandra Harris who was awarded the first Pagan M.Div degree in Chaplaincy, the book called "Theological Educational Equivalency- Defending the first Pagan Masters of Divinity degree" details CHS course requirements and how the academic accreditation.

Chester A. Arthur

Chester A. Arthur was the twenty-first President of the United States, taking office after the assassination of James A. Garfield.Chester A. Arthur Britannica Arthur was incredibly popular among the Stalwart faction of the Republican Party, mostly because of his involvement in "Roscoe Conkling’s Stalwart Republican machine,"Chester A. Arthur Whitehouse.gov with Conkling being the Republican Senator who led the campaign for nominating Ulysses S. Grant at the 1880 Republican National Convention.Roscoe Conkling Britannica In spite of this, he ended up going against the Stalwarts as President, becoming "a champion of civil service reform."
Arthur became President after Garfield was assassinated by Charles Guiteau, himself the "Stalwart of Stalwarts" who killed Garfield specifically in hopes it would bring Stalwart views to the Republican Party.A Stalwart of Stalwarts National Archive However, Arthur instead signed the Pendleton Act in 1883, which essentially gave the Half-Breeds everything they wanted.Pendleton Act (1883) National Archive This was largely due to the widespread belief that the Stalwart ideas which caused Garfield to be shot needed to be stamped out lest you would essentially be vindicating the assassination in the first place.
Arthur is notable among Presidents from this era for his opposition to racism, defending a black woman named Lizzie Jennings in her lawsuit against a street company that forced her out of a car only intended for white passengers in 1854! Unsurprisingly, Arthur was also an abolitionist and pleaded for an enslaved man who sued for his freedom on the basis that he was brought to the free state of New York. However, this didn't prevent him from signing the the only law in U.S. history to specifically ban immigration of a certain ethnicity.Chinese Exclusion Act (1882), National Archives
He is also different in that he engaged in physical conflicts with others over politics in his youth. As Thomas Reeves noted in his biography on Arthur:
==The original birther controversy==
Arthur is also notable for being the first President who was accused of not being born in the United States, which if true would have made him unable to become President under the Constitution.The Executive Branch whitehouse.gov According to a rumor started by the Democratic Party of the time, Arthur was not born in Vermont, as he claimed, but in Canada.The original "birther" controversy CBS News One of the people behind this narrative, Arthur P. Hinman, had also previously accused Arthur of being born in Ireland and moving to the United States when he was a teenager.Then Again: A Vermont politician faces the ‘birthers’ VT Digger

Chicago Statement

The Chicago Statements on Biblical Inerrancy and Hermeneutics are two position papers made in 1978 and 1982, respectively, and signed by over 200 leading evangelicals and fundamentalists of the time.
They assert that the Bible is inerrant, literally true, and historically accurate from Genesis to Revelation, and all but state that those who do not believe this are off to hell.
==The Statements==
The statements take particular care to bash evolution as well as non-Protestant positions on Biblical authority. They are:
# God, who is Himself Truth and speaks truth only, has inspired Holy Scripture in order thereby to reveal Himself to lost mankind through Jesus Christ as Creator and Lord, Redeemer and Judge. Holy Scripture is God's witness to Himself.
# Holy Scripture, being God's own Word, written by men prepared and superintended by His Spirit, is of infallible divine authority in all matters upon which it touches: it is to be believed, as God's instruction, in all that it affirms: obeyed, as God's command, in all that it requires; embraced, as God's pledge, in all that it promises.
# The Holy Spirit, Scripture's divine Author, both authenticates it to us by His inward witness and opens our minds to understand its meaning.
# Being wholly and verbally God-given, Scripture is without error or fault in all its teaching, no less in what it states about God's acts in creation, about the events of world history, and about its own literary origins under God, than in its witness to God's saving grace in individual lives.
# The authority of Scripture is inescapably impaired if this total divine inerrancy is in any way limited or disregarded, or made relative to a view of truth contrary to the Bible's own; and such lapses bring serious loss to both the individual and the Church.

Chico Xavier

Chico Xavier was a Brazilian spiritualist medium and claimed psychic healer. He was a major figure in the Spiritism religion.
Over a period of sixty years Xavier produced over four hundred books, all of which he claimed were actually written by spirits. He termed this style of writing "psychography". He is also known for his abnegation and charity work. 
==Controversies==
A fellow medium and close associate of his, , is sometimes quoted as having exposed him as a fraud, although this is subject to debate.
Xavier would receive information about his clients from staff at his spiritist center (Centro Espírita Luiz Gonzaga).Stollznow, Karen. (2014). Language Myths, Mysteries and Magic. Palgrave Macmillan. p. 113. ISBN 978-1-137-40484-8 "Xavier was revealed to be a cheat. In what is called hot reading, Xavier's staff at his spiritist center in Brazil gathered information from clients as they lined up to see the psychic. In the letters from the dead, these details were presented back to the clients as though they had been psychic messages." According to an article in the Skeptical Inquirer:
There are also embarrassing photographs of Xavier with another medium Otília Diogo dressed in white bed sheets as a spirit.
Despite the fakery of this case, Xavier has retained a strong following in Brazil and is still supported as the real deal by some modern parapsychology cranks. Guy Lyon Playfair wrote an entire book about Xavier describing him as a "hero" and the "medium of the century".Playfair, Guy Lyon. (2010). Chico Xavier, Medium of the Century. Roundtable Publishing. ISBN 978-0956449313 Go figure.

Chidambaram Subramaniam

Chidambaram Subramanian was a prominent Indian independence activist and post-independence politician, political entrepreneur, and bureaucrat."C. Subramaniam | Indian politician". Encyclopedia Britannica. Retrieved 9 January 2020. He played a decisive role in ushering in India's Green Revolution along with Norman Borlaug and M.S. Swaminathan. An unstoppable workaholic, in post independence India he served as the minister of finance, agriculture, and defense. He was also involved in drafting India's constitution, served as governor of the State of Maharashtra and worked as the deputy chairman of the Planning Commission while India had a quasi-socialist economy.Times, New York (11 November 2000). "Chidambaram Subramaniam". SFGate. Retrieved 9 January 2020. Originally he studied physics and law in college and was briefly imprisoned by the British for his political activism. In 1998 he was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honor.
==India's Green Revolution==
Subramanian was agricultural minister in Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Cabinet in 1966 when he helped introduced a new Mexican semi-dwarf wheat variety to India's farmers. His advocacy ultimately allowed the nation to become self-sufficient in wheat production. India had relied heavily on wheat imports after independence as its population continued to balloon. The threat of famine lingered in everyone's mind as doom mongers in the West anticipated disaster.Prominent doomers included William and Paul Paddock the authors of the 1967 best seller ', Paul R. Ehrlich, author of the 1968 best seller , and the perpetually pessimistic Club of Rome author of the 1972 best seller . Subramaniam turned the lawns around his home into experimental fields, where he grew a strain of Mexican wheat that he believed would thrive in India. In 1964, he persuaded India's top politicians to embrace the production of the Mexican wheat. Within four years, the nationwide harvest had increased from 10 million to 17 million tons.ibid."Chidambaram Subramaniam; Increased India Harvest". Los Angeles Times. 13 November 2000. Retrieved 9 January 2020. India's green revolution continued until approximately the early 1990's when yearly increases in agricultural productivity began to slow down. For his work in opening the political channels to allow greater usage of new seed varieties and modern synthetic fertilizers Subramanian is sometimes called the father of "India's Green Revolution".

Child Protective Services

In the United States, Child Protective Services is a generic term used to describe human services agencies in each state tasked with responding to reports of child abuse. In many states, this agency has a different, friendlier-sounding name (for example, New Jersey's "Division of Child Protection and Permanency", or Texas' "Department of Family and Protective Services").
Agencies of this sort typically receive criticism from all corners of the political spectrum. Liberals complain that CPS is underfunded and inadequate, conservatives complain that its actions often violate the civil liberties of parents by micromanaging their decisions,http://www.youngcons.com/child-protective-services-paid-a-visit-to-this-mother-for-an-incredibly-depressing-reason/ and wingnuts allege that it enlists doctors to help the government steal babies,http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/04/13542-child-protective-services-takes-baby-from-parents-after-they-question-a-doctor/ in order to "break asunder God-given, natural, parent-child bonds".http://fightcps.com/about-fightcps-com/ Republicans want to "decrease abuse caseloads" while simultaneously having "stringent enforcement of laws against the abuse of children".http://www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/Republican_Party_Families_+_Children.htm In Arizona, Republicans starved CPS of funds before abolishing it altogether.http://thedailybanter.com/2014/01/why-arizona-abolished-child-protective-services/
As is to be expected of an overwhelmed, underfunded government bureaucracy tasked with an unpleasant and difficult job that most would rather not think about, there have been several notable failures of Child Protective Services:
* Texas CPS seized a bunch of Fundamentalist Mormon children at Yearning for Zion Ranch based on a tip from an inadequately vetted informant.
* In New York City, a 7-year-old girl was beaten and starved to death while a CPS agent charged with monitoring her case repeatedly ignored physical evidence of abuse on her body and did almost nothing to report it.
* In Ohio, a private agency with a contract from the state's CPS agency placed a 3-year-old boy in the care of foster parents with an extensively-documented history of mental health issues, who eventually murdered the boy. 
* In Georgia, more than 800 children died between 1995-98 while under the supervision of Georgia's Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS). One child, a five-year old boy whose mother was addicted to crack cocaine, was removed from his home and placed with his maternal grandmother, who beat, starved, and eventually murdered him; despite dozens of reports of abuse, several emergency room visits, and 11 different case workers, no action was ever taken to remove the boy from the abusive environment. After the boy's death, Georgia DFCS engaged in a cover-up of the facts in the case; nobody involved was ever prosecuted and several of those directly implicated by investigations of the case retired with large government pensions.Did 5-year-old Terrell have to die?

Children

Children are larval humans. They start out as helpless parasites babies, unable to feed or care for themselves at all, and gradually grow larger and learn useful skills, like sticking gum to furniture or tying pink ribbons onto other defenseless animals. Due to their nature, they are often quite vulnerable to certain myths, like the inflated value of spare teeth, fat men in red suits giving things away for "free", or other big men in the sky answering wishes you make just before bedtime.
Usually by the age of seven or so, they will exhibit relatively distinct personalities and burgeoning talents or skills. A few years later, they metamorphose into an ill-tempered, cocoon-like state known as puberty. During this time they are more or less helpless and as demanding as a new-born baby once more. This phase lasts from two to thirty six years. 
After puberty turns them into little adults, fully capable of breeding, they will still need anywhere from two to twelve years' further training in order to play a useful role in society (i.e. welding, plumbing, cooking, etc.). This time period partly depends on how "advanced" the culture in which they live has become, and the individual's career ambitions.

Chimpanzee

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), sometimes colloquially known as chimps, are hominids native to Africa. Chimps share 96% of their DNA with humans,Chimps, Humans 96 Percent the Same, Gene Study Finds, Stefan Lovgren, National Geographic 31 August 2005 meaning that genetically speaking chimpanzees are more similar to humans than African elephants are to Indian elephants.After genome sequencing, scientists find 95% similarity in Asian, African elephants, ET Bureau, Economic Times 18 December 2015
Chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes; humans have 46 chromosomes. Scientists have found evidence of two ancestral chromosomes of the great apes which seem to have fused - making Chromosome 2 in humans. The analogous chromosomes (2p and 2q) in the non-human great apes can be shown, when laid end to end, to create an identical banding structure to the human chromosome 2, which explains why humans have one less pair than the rest of the great apes. Plenty of evidence backs up this hypothesis, even evidence from the telomere (the ending sequence of the chromosome), and the centromere.
Many claim that chimps are humans' closest relatives in an attempt to defend misogyny,And by extension transmisogynoir, for no reason other than it supports their views. while ironically, bonobos, our other closest relatives, are female supremacists.Alpha Males Do Not Exist, Adam Ruins Everything Secondly, in the west African chimpanzee subspecies, females appear to have more power than in other chimpanzee subspecies. In western chimpanzees, females use tools more often than males do, are able to monopolize their food without males taking it from themhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/female-chimps-more-likely-males-hunt-tools-180955004/ and can even select which males to mate with on their own terms.
A chimpanzee in Austria is the first to have the opportunity to receive the same rights as a human being.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/apr/01/austria.animalwelfare Rumor has it that a negative issue from the court concerned will result in a thousand-chimp march down the streets of Vienna.
Chimpanzees in Fongoli, Senegal, have used spears to hunt and kill prey.http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/2/4/140507 Chimpanzees might also have, er, a "proto-religion", observers having seen some worshipping a tree, and also dancing in strange rituals around, above all things, fire, possibly indicating they have an actual understanding of fire, though that may be going a bit too far.
