Cancelamento

O cancelamento é a organização de um boicote virtual a pessoas selecionadas por um determinado grupo como sendo desviantes. Essa prática leva ao esquecimento social virtual, o que leva a impactos significativos porque, na modernidade, as relações humanas têm sido alicerçadas principalmente por meio das redes sociais. Esse cancelamento é feito por meio de intensas campanhas em redes sociais, podendo assumir a forma de linchamento virtual, ocasionando a perda de emprego, seguidores e patrocínios. Além de indivíduos, empresas, livros e filmes podem ser alvos desta cultura de cancelamento.https://brasilescola.uol.com.br/sociologia/cultura-do-cancelamento.htm
==Origem==
O fenômeno do boicote é antigo na cultura humana, como no caso do ostracismo ateniensehttps://www.historiadomundo.com.br/grega/ostracismo-ateniense.htm, sendo que o próprio termo boicote se originar na Inglaterra no início do séc. XX.https://aventurasnahistoria.uol.com.br/noticias/reportagem/curiosa-historia-do-homem-que-originou-palavra-boicote.phtml. Contudo, esta cultura de cancelamento como conhecemos atualmente pode-se dizer que começou a ganhar mais força em 2017, quando houve o movimento #MeToo, que denunciava assédio sexual e o abuso de homens conhecidos contra mulheres.https://brasilescola.uol.com.br/sociologia/cultura-do-cancelamento.htm Ao mesmo tempo, outras pautas como racismo, movimento LGBTQI+, começaram a ter mais força na internet e a ganhar mais espaço para apresentar seus pontos de vista e experiências, fornecendo mais justificativas para a segregação daqueles que não pensam de acordo com a pauta da vez. Também podemos traçar as origens desta cultura do cancelamento com a 'Call Out Culture',https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/nov/01/call-out-culture-obama-social-media uma expressão usada para 'chamar atenção' de alguém em público por algo que tenha sido feito de errado ou inadequado, assim é próprio da cultura das redes sociais em si, por ser uma ferramenta não só de socialização, mas também de ativismo.
==Consequências diretas==
Além das consequências já conhecidas e visíveis a todos, como a queda no número de seguidores em um curto espaço de tempo, há o cancelamento de apresentações no caso de artistas e perda de patrocínios; as redes sociais do cancelado são invadidas por comentários negativos. Mas, além destas consequências, a saúde mental também fica em xeque, inclusive, deixando marcas pelo resto da vida. Dificilmente a rotina retornará ao após um episódio de cancelamento.
O fato também pode desencadear abandono, desprezo, desconsideração e esquecimento, entre outros distúrbios como ansiedade e até depressão. A cultura do cancelamento é tóxica para a saúde mental. Nesses casos é preciso buscar ajuda de um profissional para fazer um acompanhamento e iniciar o melhor tratamento. O cidadão pode até reconhecer que errou, mas sempre terá que se policiar em relação às suas atitudes.https://edicaodobrasil.com.br/2022/04/22/cultura-do-cancelamento-e-toxica-para-a-saude-mental/

Cancer Control Society

The Cancer Control Society (and other nutritionally related diseases) [sic] is an organization dedicated to spreading information about alternative medicine (about cancer, obviously) and conspiracy theories. Specifically, they host yearly conventions, organize bus tours to alternative cancer clinics, and publish a list of doctors practicing CAM.Cancer Control Society Tijuana, Mexico Bus TourccshISTORY.HTM
Some factoids about the CCS:
*Its site copiously links to DVDs they sell (only $395 each!) of the yearly conventions the CCS hosts — DVDs which also include things like the documentary "What Your Doctor Won't Tell You About Cancer".CCS order form 2008CANCER, THE FORBIDDEN CURES
*There's a "Support The Cancer Control Society page"Directory of Doctors and Patients! (Actually, it's "Support The Cancer Control Society"; they got the page title wrong.) which tells you what GiftsNot mere "gifts", but Gifts. you can get from giving the CCS hundreds or thousands of dollars (or your car), such as supplements, CAM movies, credits toward cancer treatment at CAM clinics, or the opportunity to participate in a "Quality of Life Study". It also has (as already noted) an "I will donate my car, etc.…" option.
*There's also a special page (separate from the donation form) specifically titled "Donate Your Car" (linked from the homepage), with helpful instructions on how you can give the CCS your motor vehicle or home (yes, home).The Cancer Control Society ^— cancercontrolsociety.com (It should be "Donate Your Car". These guys are really bad at naming their pages.) Did we mention you can donate your car?
There are also links to many movies describing how the medical establishment is supposedly unfairly suppressing CAM and its practitioners.Directory of Doctors and Patients! (Actually, it's a list of films. Seriously, who designed this site?)
There are also some rather predictable nutrition guidelinescancer control society prevention diet for preventing cancer, which promote, among other things, raw milk, organic food, "raw dairy butter" or coconut oil, organic red wine, and chemophobia. Some of the guidelines are very similar to ones promulgated by the Weston A. Price Foundation.Dietary Guidelines, Weston A. Price Foundation.

Cantron

Cantron is yet another odious piece of cancer woo. Other names it is sold under include Cancell, Protocel, Sheridan's Formula, Jim's Juice, Crocinic Acid, JS–114, JS–101, 126–F, and Entelev.
It was invented by crank biochemist James V. Sheridan with the aim of targeting the anaerobic cell respiration of cancer cells, in accordance with the now-outmoded Warburg hypothesis (that cancer happens when cells make energy anaerobically, rather than by mutation or activation of oncogenes). Thus, it originated in the sort of pseudoscience that holds that an invalidated hypothesis is valid.
==Ingredients==
The precise formula is secret. The FDA lists the components as inositol, nitric acid, sodium sulfite, potassium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, and catechol. The nonexistent "crocinic acid" was originally listed as an ingredient.
==Effectiveness==
None. The National Cancer Institute tested the constituents in animal experiments in 1978 and 1980 and in vitro on human tumors in 1990 and 1991, and concluded that the ingredients could not be taken in doses high enough to kill cancer cells in the body, and that further study was not warranted.
The American Cancer Society recommends against bothering with it."Questionable methods of cancer management: Cancell/Entelev." CA Cancer J Clin 43 (1): 57–62. 1993. doi:10.3322/canjclin.43.1.57. PMID 8422607.
There appear to be no tests on the secret formulation itself, which is a nice escape hatch.
==Legal status==
The stuff is sold as a dietary supplement. Sheridan has been legally enjoined against selling it.Segal, Marian. "Court says to cancel the CanCell". FDA Consumer (May 1993: Federal Drug Administration) 27 (4). ISSN 0362-1332.

Cao Dai

Đạo Cao Đài, or Cao Dai in English (full name Đại Đạo Tam Kỳ Phổ Độ), is a Vietnamese syncretic religion, and the third largest in the country with over 7 million followers.Caodaism - Religious Tolerance Their god's full name is Cao Đài Tiên Ông Đại Bồ Tát Ma-ha-tát, usually abbreviated Đức Cao Đài. Caodaists believe theirs is the Third Revelation of God: the First being Judaism, Hinduism, and Yi king; and the Second being Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Taoism (sorry Islam). It is also strongly influenced by Spiritualism (Spiritism) with its belief in seances as a method of communicating religious doctrine.
Their chief prophet is Ngo Van Chieu, a civil servant who was the first to receive messages from Đức Cao Đài, ushering in the period of contact with the divine known as the Third Revelation, in 1926. The religion was formally established as Đại Đạo Tam Kỳ Phổ Độ (The Third Great Universal Religious Amnesty) that year, out of various small groups and sects who had been practising spiritualist techniques and receiving messages. It became popular over succeeding decades, supporting Vietnamese nationalism but generally taking a moderate position about negotiation with the French. Vietnamese communists were hostile to it for many years but have now relaxed their opposition.Cao Dai. ReligionFacts.com, 17 March 2015.
Because of their syncretic nature and their belief in the validity of previous revelations, Caodaists pray not only to Đức Cao Đài but also to Buddha, Jesus Christ, Lao Tzu, Confucius, and Khuong Thai Cong, who represents Geniism (a Vietnamese folk religion also incorporated into Cao Dai).
Cao Dai distinguishes different levels of holiness. The top level is God, Buddha, and those who have Buddha-like status. The next level is the Immortals, which includes Confucius. The next level is the saints, among which are William Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Joan of Arc, Louis Pasteur, Thomas Jefferson, Sun Yat-sen (the revolutionary father of Chinese republicanism), “Where the Faithful Worship Among the Tourists” Kit Gillet, New York Times, May 11, 2012. and Lenin (which is ironic, as Caodaists were persecuted by the communist government from 1975-1997)."Cao Dai Fuses Great Faiths of the World" Patricia Ward Biederman, LA Times, Jan. 7, 2006. The three most important saints are Victor Hugo, Sun Yat-sen, and Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm. Cao Đài has two main sects: exoterists, who simply follow Cao Đài, and esoterists, who are basically monks of Cao Đài.
The syncretism of Cao Đài underlies their belief that all religions teach the same thing, and their goal of promoting religious harmony. Caodaists also believe in reincarnation similar to Buddhism, the existence of a soul which contains both the human soul and part of God's spirit, and the effects of Karma on future lives. Though they claim full equality for men and women, women are not allowed above the rank of cardinal (Cao Đài clergy mimic the Roman Catholic Church in terms of titles).

Capital

:Were you looking for "Das Kapital", you godless pinko commie?
In economics, capital refers to the monetary funding that is available for an organisation to permit the acquisition of assets such as land, premises, machinery and raw materials, as well as the costs involved in turning those raw materials into products, including paying wages. On a company balance sheet, capital appears as a "liability" in that it is technically money that is owed to the shareholders and other investors.
==Capital and assets==
Capital can consist of:
*Shareholder funds, which is the amount that the organisation owes to its owners
*Retained earnings, such as profit after tax and dividend payments
*Loan capital, such as money borrowed from a bank or other investors who have bought bonds issued by the organisation
Assets are the things that an organisation requires to be able to carry out its business. They include:
*Fixed assets, normally long term investments such as land and premises, computers, furniture, machinery and so on.
*Advances or loans made to customers (especially in financial institutions) that will be paid back, normally with interest.
*Investments, such as where the company has invested in another company or bond, usually short term and easy access so that the organisation can access the funds should it need to do so.
*Cash, i.e. cash in the till that the company can keep "liquid" for short term requirements.
*Accruals, which includes money owed to the organisation in interest or in a business to business environment where 30 to 90 day payment terms are commonplace.

Carbon

Carbon is an element with six protons, six neutrons (in the most common isotope) and six electrons, four of which are valence electrons.
Carbon can bond in many configurations. Although it forms stronger bonds with fluorine and oxygen than with itself, carbon-carbon bonds are so stable that the two best-defined forms of elemental carbon are resistant to chemical attack and remain solid at very high temperatures. 
The reason carbon bonds so readily and in such variety is that its valence electron shell is half full.Or is it half empty? As such, carbon is very happy to share electrons with almost any reasonably friendly nearby atom.
Pure carbon forms several different compounds in different ways. Diamond is a three dimensional lattice that, due to its stable bonds, is very hard. Very, very hard. And pretty when cut well. Graphite forms 2-dimensional sheets that are very loosely bonded to each other, making it very slippery. Synthetic buckyballs are footballs (soccer balls to you Yanks) formed of 60 carbon atoms; buckytubes are similar but form long hollow fibers.
The study of how carbon interacts with other elements is called "organic chemistry".
Hydrocarbons are a convenient way to store chemical energy for later use via oxidation.

Carbon offset

A carbon offset is a special type of economic credit whereby a user of a particular unit of "dirty" power (i.e. that which emits carbon dioxide or other pollutant) invests in a process or activity to remove an equivalent amount of pollution from the environment—planting a tree, installing or operating a smokestack scrubber, maintaining a solar power plant.
While it seems like a good idea on paper, the debate rages as to whether this is actually a good thing or whether it's just the environmental equivalent of ordering a Diet Coke with your Double Whopper.Or worse. At least a 22 oz. Diet Coke saves you 240 Calories. It is worth pointing out that, even if carbon offsets are a Good Thing, the limited amount of environmental remediation available compared to the massive amounts of pollution being put out risks carbon offset inflation by overselling the available amount of remediation, rendering said offsets useless and an economic black hole.
In practice, many carbon offset schemes are environmental indulgences.Selling Indulgences, George Monbiot Only about 30% of the money spent on carbon offset programs offered by airlines actually goes into reducing emissions.'30% of Carbon Offsets' Spent on Reducing Emissions, BBC The most problematic type of carbon offsets are tree-planting programs, as these don't permanently reduce emissions and may, in fact, increase them if the trees are not properly maintained and die or catch fire.The Problems with Carbon Offsets from Tree-Planting, David Suzuki Foundation
In a textbook example of "perverse incentives," twenty chemical companies headquartered in Southeast Asian nations produced excess chlorofluorocarbons in order to destroy them and get extra carbon credits.UN Board Could Rein in $2.7 Billion Carbon Market, Associated Press

Caribbean

The Caribbean is the name given to the various nations lying in the Caribbean Sea. It is also sometimes referred to as the West Indies, although this term is usually restricted to describing the area under colonial rule. Geographically it refers to two main groups of islands, the Greater and Lesser Antilles. Politically, it also often includes the nations of Belize and Guyana, which are located in Central and South America respectively, but are usually considered closer culturally to the English-speaking Caribbean.
The various islands of the Caribbean were colonized by the Spanish in the early 1500s, much to the confusion of the Carib and Taino tribes who had already been living there for at least a millennium. For the next 400 years, these islands and territories then passed between various powers, including Great Britain, France, Denmark, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Sweden. During the 17th to early 18th centuries, the Caribbean islands were also regularly used as a base by pirate crews, who took advantage of their weak colonial governments, and their prime location in relation to the triangular trade routes.
Today, most nations of the Caribbean are politically independent, although they maintain heavy ties to their colonizing powers through languages and economic influence.
During the Cold War, the Caribbean played a major role in defining relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, culminating in not one, but two invasions of sovereign nations (Cuba and Grenada) by the US military.
The present-day demographic landscape of the Caribbean is heavily defined by the legacy of slavery - a large percentage of those living in Caribbean nations are of African descent. The white minority are typically much wealthier, and this is especially the case in the Caribbean's many tax havens.
The various nations of the Caribbean are also among the most religious in the world, due to the influence of missionaries and the Catholic Church in the 17th and 18th centuries. The influence of indigenous African traditions can also be felt in many syncretist religions, which mix African spiritual beliefs with Christianity.
Lotsa nice beaches in the Caribbean, as well as rum, and some pretty awesome food. Roast oxtail, anyone?
Some of the best cricketers in the world have come from the Caribbean. And then, of course, there's Reggae. And Rastafarianism, if you're in need of a laugh.

Carl Paladino

"We're mad too," Carl Paladino was the batshit crazy wanna-be mobster Tea Party-backed Republican gubernatorial candidate for New York in the 2010 elections. He ran what was probably the most disastrous and nutty campaign in 2010, even by both New York and Teabagger standards (arguably surpassed only by the Nazi reenactment guy, Rich Iott). Just about every week, he managed to make a bigoted "controversial" statement bound to offend some major demographic or have some embarrassing details about his past uncovered. In addition to his numerous homophobic statements, a number of his e-mails leaked that contained various racist depictions of Barack Obama and bestial pornography ("It was a joke!").The Big Bad List of Paladino Gaffes and Controversies One of the main issues of his campaign was using eminent domain to prevent the Ground Zero Mosque from being built. Not to mention his numerous unsubstantiated accusations about his competitor and then-State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's affairs while he himself had fathered a love child. Of course, he believes global warming is a "farce."Governor deniers Not one to make a quiet exit, he swung around a baseball bat during his concession speech and claimed that we "haven't seen the last of Carl Paladino."Carl Paladino threatens to break your kneecaps AlbanyThe uncomfortable aspect is that we've heard this sort of thing before, with extremely distasteful sequelae. Fortunately, Mr. Paladino doesn't seem to have either Richard Nixon's vibrant charisma or his innate political shrewdness. Lock your doors at night, folks.
