Illogical Arguments against Veganism

Every vegan has at one point found themselves in a heated debate with a meat eater over their choice of lifestyle, and these are some of the irrational arguments that meat eaters use to try to discredit a vegan diet.

1. Most vegans are un-healthy and deprived of nu-trients.

Perhaps the most widely used argument by carnivores is that vegans arent receiv-ing enough nutrients, which is a big misconception. An average vegan consumes sig-nifi cantly more nutrient dense foods than their meat eating counterparts, and an excess of unhealthy fats found in meat and dairy contribute to weight gain and a plethora of illnesses while there are readily avail-able cruelty-free sources of healthy fats (like olive oil, al-monds, fl ax seeds, avocados, and soybeans). Th e largest nutritional myth is perhaps centered on protein many would argue that a vegan isnt consuming enough of this seemingly vital nutrient. Ac-tually, an average American is consuming signifi cantly more protein than they need, and excess protein consumption is directly linked to obesity. No one, in the entire documented history of the planet, has ever died from a protein defi ciency; this makes the life-threaten-ing necessity of this nutrient very questionable. However, there are still plenty of vegan sources of protein like whole grains (like quinoa and brown rice), vegetables, lentils, non-dairy milk (i. e. coconut milk, soy milk, almond milk), and beans. At the end of the day, if a vegan diet was really lack-ing many necessary nutrients, every vegan would be suff ering from malnutrition and, as thousands of professional veg-an athletes, nutritionists and celebrities have already proven a vegan diet supplies a per-son with everything they need in their diet. Its very hypocriti-cal that the meat eaters who criticize vegans for their health choices are the same people who frequently go to fast foods and are ignorant towards their own bodies. If a person hon-estly values their health, they would never even be tempted to eat junk food and chemicals

knowing how it aff ects their health and start controlling what they put into their bodies before they try to educate oth-ers on how to eat healthy.

2. If we didnt eat animals, they would overpopulate the planet.

Th e logic behind this argu-ment is simple animals sig-nifi cantly outnumber the hu-man population, so if people stopped eating them, they would supposedly overpopu-late the planet. In reality, the only reason animals outnum-ber humans is due to the ag-gressive breeding techniques of factory farms. Th e purpose of the industry is to take ad-vantage of animal bodies to maximize their profi t. When cows reach the age when they can give birth, they are forced to remain pregnant their en-tire lives because its the only way they can lactate (produce milk). Once cows give birth, they are injected with drugs again and have to go through the entire painful process over and over again. Once cows are deprived of everything they have their health, their off -spring, their freedom they are deemed useless and sent to a slaughterhouse where they are deprived of the last thing they have, their body. Th e economy is based on a system of supply and demand if less people ate meat, there would be a smaller demand for fac-tory farms to breed animals, and therefore there would be fewer animals. Meat eaters are simply ignorant when they think that their diet choices dont aff ect anyone else. Th e high consumption of meat is directly related to the issues of overpopulation. Animals con-sume an enormous amount of water and food; if everyone in the world went vegan (dimin-ishing animal breeding) the problem of starvation among humans would be practically eliminated, and the 783 mil-lion people across the globe that dont have access to clean drinking water would never have to face that issue again. Th e meat-packing industry is also the second largest con-tributor to greenhouse gasses. Especially today, overpopula-tion of animals is an enormous issue, and by eating meat, a person is only promoting this harmful practice rather than trying to prevent it.

3. Cavemen ate meat, so why shouldnt we? Were meant to eat meat!

First of all, even compar-ing the caveman era to the modern times is simply ludi-crous. Perhaps people should also stop wearing clothes too, since cavemen didnt? Isnt his-tory taught to educate people about the mistakes of the past

so they arent repeated again? What about slavery it was very common before, so may-be we should continue racial discrimination for the simple reason that others have done it before us? Th e society has evolved, and cavemen simply did not have the access to the same resources that society has today. Back then, it was a means of survival, today, its a source of overindulgence and a demonstration of the igno-rance many people have to-wards the ethical treatment of animals. Our ancestors also didnt mind eating raw fl esh of dogs and cats, which today, most people would consider barbaric. So why is it okay to eat some animals and not oth-ers to treat cats and dogs with kindness and then abuse, mur-der and eat the dead corpses of innocent cows, pigs and chick-ens? By eating meat you are promoting animal abuse, and unless you are an egocentric human being, you wouldnt mind making a small sacrifi ce that would save countless lives. No one should let their taste buds control their mind that is how alcoholism, drug abuse and smoking become such an epidemic, and meat eating is no diff erent. Meat eaters are very unconscious about how much their decisions aff ect others and choose to eat un-healthy food that came from a place of cruelty and misery, while there are plenty of deli-cious and wholesome vegan al-ternatives rice, pasta, quinoa, potatoes, soups, wraps, mush-rooms, diary-free desserts and cheeses, etc. Besides, who says that we are meant to eat meat? Th ere isnt a single pop-ular religion that promotes the murder of animals; according to the bible, not even Chris-tianity your righteousness is like the mighty mountains; your judgements are like the

great deep; you save humans and animals alike, O Lord. (Psalms 36:6) Just because eat-ing meat is socially acceptable, it doesnt make it okay. Slavery was once socially acceptable too until someone stood up for the rights of African Ameri-cans, but animals cant stand up for their own rights and therefore fall victim to a very corrupt social system where, unless a consumer is directly aff ected by the social injustice, they prefer to ignore it or even take advantage of it. Ignoring the problem wont make it go away, and more than anything, it says a lot about your person-ality and values. Compassion is one of the greatest qualities of a human being, and living a life that benefi ts from the pain of others is the core of everything that is wrong with society.

4. What about kale? Plants are living, they have feelings too!

This is another example of hypocritical thinking. About 80% of all crops in America are eaten by farm animals who are then slaughtered and served to humans, so an average meat eater, indirectly, kills almost ten times as many plants as a vegan does (only without the health benefits of actually con-suming them). But when was the last time you saw a banana scream out of pain? Or a bush thats being trimmed try to run away from you? Plants dont have a central nervous system to feel the pain that animals have to go through in their everyday lives as they live in tightly packed cages and suffer from emotional distress and physical impairment before they are shipped off for mur-der. Heres a quick introduc-tion to the process of slaugh-tering an animal: when a cow arrives to a slaughterhouse, its exhausted body is hung upside down on a chain and skinned

alive while they are screaming and in pain, then their throatis slit open (without anesthet-ic) as several gallons of blood escape their body and splash onto the cement floor while they are fully conscious andin extreme agony. Even after their throat is slit, most cattleremain conscious for another10 seconds, and many proceedalive to the next step split-ting, when they are physically cut in half by an enormous electrically powered machineand then opened for evalua-tion. No matter how the label at the grocery store is sugar-coated, even free-range and organic meat comes fromanimals that went to the same slaughterhouses and werekilled with the same processes.This violence isnt an extreme case, contrary to popular be-lief, but a completely legal and normal routine that occurs to approximately 95% of all pigs, cows and chickens in the Unit-ed States. Animals clearly have many of the same feelings andemotions as humans do, andhopefully no one would pro-mote keeping human children in crowded and unsanitary cages for many years, injecting them with drugs, and then slit-ting their throats so you can eat their flesh.

Overall, there really isnt asingle logical argument against veganism just as there isnt asingle logical argument to sup-port child abuse, kidnapping or rape. Violence, whether ithappens to a human being or an animal, simply cannot, andshould not, be justifi ed or ac-cepted as a social norm.

One day the absurdity of the almost universal human belief in the slavery of other animalswill be palpable. We shall thenhave discovered our souls and become worthier of sharing this planet with them. MartinLuther King Jr.

Hurricanes of Terror: Why 2 Names Were Dropped from Storm Listby Becky Oskin

Two hurricane names linked with terror and death were dropped from the Pacifi c storm list, the United Nations World Meteorological Organization an-nounced Friday (April 17).

Th e fi rst, Isis, was booted from the 2016 list of hurricane names because of its association with the brutal Islamic State mil-itant group, the WMO said. Isis, the name of an ancient Egyp-tian goddess, was replaced with Ivette.

Worship of Isis was popular throughout the Mediterranean, from Egypt to Greece and the Roman Empire, until the Chris-tian era. But ISIS also refers to the Islamic State, a militant group whose forces control large swathes of Iraq and Syria. ISIS is accused of ethnic cleansing and war crimes by the United Nations and Amnesty Interna-tional. [Hurricanes from Above: See Images of Natures Biggest Storms]

Th e second name, Odile, lost its place on the 2020 list and was removed forever at Mex-

icos request. Hurricane Odile slammed the Baja Peninsula in September 2014 and was one of the most powerful hurricanes to hit Baja in the historical re-cord. Th e storm killed 11 people and caused more than $1 bil-lion in damage, according to the National Hurricane Center. Th e WMO swapped Odile for Odalys.

A storm name is oft en struck from the lineup aft er a hurricane causes extraordinary damage or loss of life, according to the WMO. Th e name is then re-

placed with a new name starting with the same fi rst letter. Famous storms erased from the list of names include Sandy (2012), Ka-trina (2005) and Mitch (1998).

Th ere appears to be no prec-edent for purging a name be-cause it is linked to a terrorist group. However, it makes sense to remove Isis, for the same rea-sons of sensitivity that underlie the damaging storm names, said Sharon Shavitt, a professor and behavioral psychologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who has studied

peoples response to hurricane names.

Imagine what would happen if Hurricane Isis would threaten to make landfall, Shavitt said. Even though the choice was made years ago, there would be a lot of discussion and debate and head-scratching. It would have been odd to keep it in the rota-tion, she told Live Science.

Shavitts research found the gender of hurricane names may infl uence peoples perception of storm risk. Storms with fe-male names kill more people than those with male names because of stereotypes that men are strong and aggressive and women are weaker and calmer, according to the study, published June 2, 2014, in the journal Pro-ceedings of the National Acad-emy of Sciences. Such biases are much more subtle than the huge media storm that a Hurricane Isis could have triggered, Shavitt pointed out.

When a name prompts dis-cussion, any impact is going to be very diff erent than names that go under the radar, she said.

Th e WMO hurricane nam-

ing committee meets once a year to mull over the names for future tropical cyclones and hurricanes. (Tropical cyclones include both hurricanes andtyphoons.) Th e WMO commit-tee considers names for storms that form in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and North At-lantic Ocean; the North Pacifi cOcean; and the South China Sea. Weather agencies in Japan,Australia and India label storms in the remaining oceans and seas.

Th ere are six rotating lists of male and female storm names. For example, the 2014 list willappear again in 2020. Th e tally includes English, Spanish andFrench names, to refl ect the languages spoken in countrieswhere hurricanes rage. Th e Na-tional Hurricane Center startedusing an alphabetical list of female names in 1953. Mens names were added in 1979.

Th ere was a deadly Hurricane Isis in 1998, and the name wasused again in 2004 for a weakerhurricane. Isis was also on the2010 name list but wasnt usedthat year.

Flawless 100-Carat Diamond Could Fetch $25 Million

Tia Ghose

A 100-carat, nearly fl awless diamond is slated to hit the auc-tion block today at Sothebys in New York City.

Th e crystal-clear gemstone could fetch up to $25 million, the auction house said. Th e gor-geous jewel, which is the largest emerald-cut, fl awless diamond to be auctioned off , is the center-piece of the Sothebys Magnifi -cent Jewels auction.

Diamonds may seem almost otherworldly in their beauty, but the sparkling gemstones are ac-tually made of one of the most quotidian elements carbon. However, unlike in hunks of

coal, a diamonds carbon atoms are organized into a highly struc-tured lattice. Diamonds also ex-hibit something called maximal symmetry, meaning the bonds among the gems carbon atoms cant be crushed or shift ed to produce a more symmetrical shape. Th is is partly why dia-monds look the same from any edge.

Th ese gemstones are also rel-ics of an ancient Earth. Th ough geologists are still working out the details, most believe that diamonds were formed in the depths of the Earth sometime between 1 billion and 3 billion years ago

Youre talking on the order

of 100 kilometers (62 miles) or more down into the Earth, George Harlow, a geologist who specializes in mineralogy and crystallography at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, previously told Live Science.

At that time, buried carbon di-oxide was heated to about 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit (1,200 de-grees Celsius), then compressed with a mind-crushing pressure of 725,000 pounds per square inch (4.93 million kilopascals), according to a 2012 study in the journal Nature.

Aft er enduring this subter-ranean pressure cooker, the diamonds likely took an express route up to the surface via a plume of mineral-rich magma known as a kimberlite. Th ese plumes travel at an average speed of 22 to 25 mph (35 to 40 km/h). During volcanic eruptions, de-bris from these magma plumes can reach twice the speed of sound, Harlow told previously Live Science.

If you were there, you would see the most impressive explo-sion, then immediately be dead because of the shock wave, Har-low previously told Live Science.

Th e diamond on auction is fl awless and colorless, meaning it has no visible blemishes or inclusions, or faults, even when viewed under tenfold magnifi -cation, according to the Gem-ological Institute of America (GIA).

Diamonds typically acquire faults during formation when little bits of other minerals found in the Earths mantle, such as olivine or garnet, get into the mineral, Harlow told Live Science. Other flaws come from an alternate form of carbon. Diamonds get their color from small amounts of impurities such as nitrogen, which get swapped with car-bon atoms in the crystal lat-tice, Harlow said.

A fl awless diamond, by con-trast, is made of pure carbon. To be fl awless, a diamonds crystal structure must also be perfect, with no tiny cracks, or mistakes, in the crystal structure, Harlow said.

Some of those [cracks] are due to the fact that most dia-monds are very old and theyve been sitting in the mantle for a long time, Harlow said. Even though we think we live on a

solid planet, the solids are mov-ing over time, and the diamonds get deformed, they get kind of crunched.

Most fl awless diamonds wereactually perfect sections cut from much larger hunks of rock, Harlow said. And large, 100-car-at diamonds arent too commonto begin with, he added. So thenew diamond is especially un-usual.

Were talking rare upon ra-re, Harlow said. Geologists still dont know exactly how fl awlessdiamonds form, he added.

Th ough the current diamond would make one gigantic en-gagement ring, the gem isntanywhere close to the biggest diamond ever found. Th at would be the Cullinan I or Star of Africa I diamond, which clocks in at 530 carats and is mountedin the British sovereigns royal scepter. Th e Star of Africa I was originally cut from a 3,106-caratmonster that was unearthed inPremier Mine in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1905.

But size isnt everything. Th espectacular blue Hope Diamond, which is estimated to be worth atleast 250 million dollars, weighs just 45 carats.

2015 Already Setting Heat RecordsBecky Oskin

Th e fi rst three months of 2015 set new global heat records, gov-ernment offi cials announced to-day (April 17).

January, February and March set new high-temper-ature records, respectively;

each month was warmer than any on the books since record keeping started 136 years ago. March also ended the hottest 12-month period on record, the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administration (NOAA) reported. Seven of the past 11 months have tied or set

new record-high monthly tem-peratures.

In March, Earths average tem-perature was 56.4 degrees Fahr-enheit (13.6 degrees Celsius), breaking the previous record set in 2010 by 0.09 F (0.05 C). Th e Japan Meteorological Agency al-so put March in fi rst place, as the

hottest month ever in its records, while NASA put it in third place, behind 2010 and 2002. Yet, all three agencies agree that the 12 months to date are the hot-test ever.

Giant blobs of warm water in the tropical and northeast Pa-cifi c Ocean helped boost 2015 to the top of the rankings, ac-cording to the NOAA climate report. Like a pot of boiling wa-ter on a stove, the warm seawa-ter radiates heat into the atmo-sphere and raises the planets average temperature. Th e global average temperature includes

measurements over land and ocean surfaces.

Because these warm-water pools are predicted to per-sist through year-end, more heat records could fall in the coming months. In the tropi-cal Pacific, the warm water is linked to an ongoing El Ni?o, the cyclic phenomenon that shifts global weather. NOAA

forecasts a 60 percent chance that the El Ni?o will last through fall.

March 2015s new record high was a bigger jump from the glob-al average than records set during previous El Ni?o years, in Febru-ary 1998 and January 2007, NO-AA reported. Th e average March temperature over land surfaces across the globe was 2.86 F (1.59

C) above the 20th-century aver-age.

During March, California saw record warmth, as did parts of the western United States and Canada, according to the report. Scandinavia, northwest Russia, south central China, northeast Australia and eastern Africa also baked under high temperatures, NOAA reported.

The only place on Earthwith notably cooler-than-av-erage temperatures in March was northeastern Canada. Despite the record-breaking snow and chilly temperaturesalong the Atlantic Coast ear-lier this year, no state set a new cold record in the first threemonths of 2015, according to NOAA.

Where in the US Are People Most Worried About Climate Change?Shannon Hall

Residents in California are much more worried about the warming planet than those in parts of the central United States, according to a new set of interac-tive maps showing public opin-ion on climate change.

As a nation, 63 percent of Americans think the planet is warming and 48 percent of Americans think these chang-es are caused by humans. But Americans dont speak with a single voice on the issue, said Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and co-author of the new paper pub-lished online April 6 in the jour-nal Nature Climate Change. In fact, theres a tremendous diver-sity across the country about it.

Leiserowitz and his colleagues from Yale and Utah State Uni-versity estimated what people in diff erent states, local com-munities and congressional dis-tricts think, in order to tease out smaller trends. Th e researchers also created the interactive map based on their newdata. I use this analogy loosely, but its like getting a microscope for the fi rst time, Leiserowitz told Live Sci-ence. Suddenly, you can see this whole world below the surface that you just couldnt see before.

A few trends can be pulled from the data, the researchers said. Th e fi rst is that diversity is present on the state, district and county levels. Very few states contain congressional districts and counties that mostly agree with one another. For example, its not uncommon to see neigh-boring counties disagree with one another by 10 to 20 percent.

When it comes to who is worried about climate change, four states stand out: Hawaii, California, Vermont and Mas-sachusetts. All three are blan-keted in orange, meaning that at least 50 percent of the people in every county are concerned about climate change. Th is may be expected given Californias current drought and Massachu-

setts recent record-breaking winter.

Th e research is based on data from 12 surveys conducted be-tween 2008 and 2013. Broadly, the surveys addressed three topics: beliefs, risk perceptions and policy support. So a person would be asked if he or she be-lieved global warming is hap-pening, if he or she is worried about global warming, and if he or she supports research into re-newable energies, among other questions. Each question was phrased exactly the same way for each person.

With 13,000 people surveyed, the researchers could make claims about the national scale, but nothing below that. So, Leise-rowitz and his colleagues looked

for patterns in the way people re-sponded on each of the surveys, and then developed predictions. Th e idea was to project public opinion on climate change based on demographic and geographic data.

In order to verify those esti-mates, the team then conducted multiple state and city surveys. In the end, the surveys matched the researchers models surpris-ingly well. To be honest, we dont know which is more ac-curate, Leiserowitz said. Just as the models will have an inher-ent error, so too do the surveys.

Th e research team developed the map for two reasons. Th e fi rst was scientifi cally motivated. Th e researchers wanted to see the diversity hidden beneath a single national average. Th e second reason was practically motivated. Most of the decision-making about climate change will happen at the local and state levels, Leiserowitz said. Vulner-ability to certain extreme events, for example, can already be seen at that localized level.

One surprising result is the diversity of colors in southwest Texas. We oft en think of Tex-as as a deep-red, conservative state, Leiserowitz said. But when you look inside the state, you actually see theres tremen-dous diversity in belief about

climate change, worry about cli-mate change, support for climate policies and so on.

Leiserowitz said he thinks that a higher Latino populationin southwest Texas is aff ecting the regional data. Previous re-search shows that Latinos caremore about climate change than any other regional ethnic groupin the United States. And, infact, worldwide surveys revealthat people in Central and South American countries are far moreconcerned about climate changethan people in any other coun-tries. Leiserowitz said he sus-pects that the worry is culturally driven, but he has yet to test thishypothesis.

Th e interactive map is justopening up literally hundredsof new research questions that we havent even gotten to yet be-cause were just starting to delve into it, Leiserowitz said.

Th e researchers have many plans for how to use the maps. Th eyll partly extend the projectto include data from other sur-vey questions, and theyll push the model further, into smaller geographies, Leiserowitz said. Th e team will also look at these same trends over time. Th is will help the public see whether ornot certain geographic events ac-tually caused changes in climate change perception.

200 Years After Tambora, Indonesia Most at Risk of Deadly Volcanic BlastBecky Oskin

Two hundred years aft er the biggest volcanic blast in re-corded history, scientists have ranked the countries most at risk of a deadly volcanic erup-tion.

Today (April 10) marks the 200th anniversary of the 1815 Tambora eruption in Indone-sia. Th e enormous explosion changed global climate, causing a year without a summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Sul-fur dioxide from Mount Tam-bora lingered in the atmosphere for several years, cooling the planet and triggering crop fail-ures, famine and human disease pandemics in North America, Europe and Asia.

People were eating cats and rats, said Stephen Self, a vol-canologist at the University of California, Berkeley and an ex-pert on the Tambora eruption.

Th ere is a 30 percent chance of another Tambora-size erup-

tion striking this century, ac-cording to a new global volcanic hazard report prepared for the United Nations. An interna-tional team of experts, known as the Global Volcano Model Net-work, culled reports of the death and destruction wrought by volcanoes and ranked the coun-tries most likely to face such fu-ture disasters. Th e report, called Global Volcanic Hazards and Risk, will be published in May by Cambridge University Press.

Indonesia remains the coun-try most at risk of another dead-ly volcanic eruption, according to the new report. To create the rankings, the scientists consid-ered how oft en volcanoes with-in a country have erupted in the past 10,000 years and their diff erent hazards. For example, ice-covered volcanoes can un-leash fast-fl owing mudfl ows called lahars. One of the most lethal volcanic events in the past 400 years was a lahar that raced down Colombias Nevado

del Ruiz volcano in 1985, killing more than 23,000 people.

Th e reports authors also ac-counted for the number of peo-ple living in a volcanos blast zone (800 million people live within 62 miles, or 100 kilometers, of a volcano, on average around the world) and whether the volcano has killed before.

Following Indonesia on the list of most-threatened countries are the Philippines, Japan, Mex-ico, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Ecua-dor, Italy, El Salvador and Kenya.

However, some countries are more vulnerable to volcanic threats than others. Island na-tions, whose populations must fl ee an eruption, are more ex-posed to a volcanos deadly haz-ards, according to the report. Small countries are also more vulnerable. By this measure, the rankings place Montserrat, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the West Indies, Dominica, the Azores, St. Lucia, the Atlantic-United Kingdom Islands, El Sal-

vador and Costa Rica among the small countries and island na-tions most vulnerable to volcanic eruptions.

On guardMount Tamboras devastating

eruption was not without warn-ing. Th e volcano fi rst rumbled to life in 1812. But before it awak-ened, Tambora was dormant for more than 1,000 years, and many villages were clustered on the volcanos lush slopes. Because no one evacuated before 1815, more than 10,000 people were killed by pyroclastic fl ows and tsuna-mis.

Now, thanks to volcano mon-itoring, deaths from eruptions have dramatically dropped in re-cent decades, the report said. But volcano experts are concerned that fatalities could rise in the future, from unmonitored volca-noes; from challenges in evacu-ating large numbers of people in time; or from giant eruptions like Tambora.

An eruption of that size to-day would certainly have major eff ects on air traffi c as well asatmospheric circulation around the globe, Self said.

More than 278,000 peoplehave died in volcanic eruptions since 1600, according to the re-port. Just fi ve eruptions caused58 percent of recorded fatali-ties (this includes Tambora). Of all the deaths, 33 percent were killed by pyroclastic fl ows and 20 percent by tsunamis; another 14percent died in lahars. Only 887 people died from lava. Another24 percent of deaths were indi-rect, of famine and disease. Ash,avalanches, lightning and other hazards account for the remain-ing deaths. (Volcanoes can trig-ger tsunamis from landslides orunderwater eruptions.)

Pyroclastic fl ows are deadly and unpredictable. Th ese fl ows tumble down the volcano as fast as jet planes, carrying a mix of le-thally hot volcanic gas and rock fragments.

May 9th in Moscow

Alexey Bogatiryov, Denver-Moscow

Aft er having watched this spec-tacle on Television many times in the United States, I was thrilled to know that I would fi nally have an opportunity to see the Victory Day Parade Live and in-person. Was this public display of patrio-tism a way for the Russian people to feel a sense of purpose and a sense of unity? At last this year I would fi nd out for sure.

One of the fi rst things that surprised me while living in Russia was that most Russians to whom I talked to look forward to the May Holidays not because of the chance to witness the his-toric parade but because it is a chance to escape the dreary ev-eryday life of Moscow by going on vacation. Th is was confi rmed by the huge amount of Rus-sian tourists that were present in Th ailand when I was there. Luckily, I returned to Moscow on May 7th so I had ample time to get ready for this once in a lifetime experience.

Th e night before the parade, I watched the news attentively to fi nd out what the best place to witness the parade would be and the Russia-24 news chan-nel dutifully notifi ed me that the Military Hardware (tanks, rock-et launchers) would start from the place of the former race-horse track Hodinskoe Pole in Northwestern Moscow, come downthe LeningradHighway to Tverskaya Street at 9 in the morning and enter Red Square at 10 where they would parade along with the troops and the helicopters (no aircraft in this non-anniversary year unfortu-nately). Aft er the show on Red Square (11 in the morning), the military hardware would exit to Manezh Square, Vozdvizhenka (former Comintern street), and proceed along New Arbat street, up the Garden Ring and return up the Leningrad Highway to Hodinskoe Pole from which it would depart back to the se-cret bases from which it came. Considering the fact that Red Square would be closed off to all except those who possessed special passes (veterans or VIP guests of which I was neither) I thought Tverskaya Street of New Arbat would be my best chance to see the Russian military hard-ware in all their glory. I tried my best to fall asleep early as I knew

I would need to wake up early in order to get there before the big crowds arrive. So I set my alarm for 5:30 and went to sleep hop-ing to arrive in Moscow in time (fromShchyolkovo) .

Having woken up aft er long periods of successive rings I went to the kitchen turned on the television and witness the parade in Habarovsk to the tune of VoinaNarodnaya and was in a victory mood. Next, as I was fi -nally ready to go, convincing Ol-ga to come with me, I walked out the door, worrying that 6:30 was not too late to beat the throngs of Russians coming to Moscow. To my surprise, there was only one person (an elderly gentle-man who looked like a veteran) was leaving the huge 18 story apartment building to walk with us to the bus station. When the bus arrived at 7 AM there were only 4 people on it like on a typical weekend. As we drove to-ward the Hero City, the road was empty lacking even big banner proclaiming Happy Victory Day. No signs anywhere that the most important holiday of the year was about to take place all the way un-til Shchyolkovo Metro Station.

As we entered the most beauti-ful Underground in the world we took the Blue (Arbatsko-Pokrovskays Line) to Ploshad Revolution Station where we fi nally felt the holiday spirit as the newly renamed Police (previously known as militia or Milicia) had blocked the exit to Red Square to make sure no-body would feel too patriotic. We kindly asked the militia if there were any stations that were not closed off and they said that while the exit from Tverskaya Station was closed we could still get above ground from Bibliotekai-meniLenina (Red or Sokolnich-iskaya line) station. Using this re-liable information we hit another escalator block at the previously mentioned station at which point we were told to proceed to Ar-batskaya station on the Light-blueFilevskaya line. Luck was fi -nally on our side as we were able to exit onto the streets of Moscow.

At last we felt like we were in the right place, as there were ma-ny bright yellow banners hang-ing from streetlamps proclaim-ing Victory Day. I fi nally got my fi rst glimpse of a veteran as he was crossing the street. His chest was completely covered in every conceivable medal shining as bright as the morning sun. As he came closer to us, I said Poz-dravlayuvac s VelikimPrazd-nikom (Icongratulate you (for-mal) with the Great Holiday). He shook our hands and said thank you and wish you all the best. Th en, he promptly walked away east, presumably in the direc-tion of Red Square (although every veteran should have had a government bus pick them up and drive them to Red Square

to witness the ceremony). All of a sudden, as we looked around, we realized that the streets were empty! We were the only people to wake up early, skip breakfast and go to the center of Moscow!

As feeling of regret of not sleeping more slowly came over us, we walked to a policeman and asked him whether we could walk toward Manezh Square to which he coldly replied No. We asked if we could watch the parade from New Arbat, to which he replied Of Course, just dont cross the police line onto the street. We walked to-wards New Arbat and saw their four iconic buildings decorated with Giant Victory Slogans saying Glory to the Defenders of the Motherland. For all the signs and banners, there was

nobody there except a few cops putting out the do not cross line.

Seeing as we had more than two hours to wait until the parade would reach us, we searched in vain to fi nd any caf? where we could sit down and relax for a little while. Aft er walking on New Arbat for 15 minutes, we fi nally saw a Cof-fee House (Russias answer to Starbucks) and walked inside. Th ere were a couple of fami-lies sitting inside plus a typical celebrator of Victory Day a drunk guy who was lying in the middle of the restaurant yelling something incoherent. Looks like he had been celebrating the Great Victory all night, as we ordered some pancakes and tea to drink, three policemen came in to restrain him as the ser-geant interviewed the manager about what happened. Aft er 20 minutes, he was handcuff ed and dragged to the police car outside and wheeled off to jail. Th ere were a couple of tourists sipping coff ee but outside only more po-lice were being mobilized it was clear that huge crowds had had no intention of showing up. To add insult to injury, the caf?

was unable to change their TV screen to show Channel One (where the parade was being televised) and thus unable to raise our patriotic spirits.

Aft er we had fi nished our breakfast, it was now around 10 oclock and the parade was about to start on Red Square. Finally a few people seemed to lazily be gathering on Arbat (itwas clear that the Metro station was now completely closed off ). I looked upon the jumbo television screen and was hoping that just this one day, honoring the memory of millions of the fallen would be more important than the Hyun-dai car commercial but I was wrong. Th e television would briefl y show a Happy Victory Day banner and then proceed showing the commercial again.

Without a doubt, there was no eff ort made to share the glori-ous ceremony happening on Red Square with the masses. A Tajik guy came up to me and asked me which direction the parade would be coming from, I told him from the left side where Red Square is. He waited for fi ve min-utes, and then left apparently only non-native Muscovites were even remotely interested in seeing the spectacle. Other than Tajiks, the crowd consisted of mothers with little boys who were incessantly asking when the tanks would come.

Th e sun came out and the weather became truly warm. Olga got a little tired of waiting and decided to go into the in-famous Arbat bookstore and I would call her if anything inter-esting occurred. As I continued to wait, it was about ten minutes aft er 10 and the crowd was now formed. Th ere was about one row of people along the entire Arbatstreet not as much as I expected, but it was clear that I could have arrived right now and not have missed anything. As I swallowed my bitterness, the thunderous sound of heli-

copters appeared overhead. We saw a group of about 12 of them-fl ying over the tall buildings in the Moscow Center, carrying agiant Russian Flag below them(Red, White and Blue). Th ey slowly fl ew south and into the horizon. We knew that the pa-rade had begun at last. I calledOlga, telling her that the heli-copters were here, but she an-swered that she was waiting in aline at the cash register.

Aft er the helicopters dis-appeared, a group of soldierswaked through Arbat and a po-lice captain asked them to jointhem and help to hold back the crowd. A couple of kids near mealso complained that the giant TV screen was not showing the parade. Th e loudspeaker turned on and Cindy Duff ers Lilly

was Here played soft ly. While this song is certainly beautifuland nostalgic, why there were no patriotic songs being playedwent without an answer. I re-membered how eff ective it was when a couple days before atthe Domodedovo airport, when the loudspeakers started playing Den Podedy and how it lift ed my spirits aft er a long journey.Why nothing is being done rightnow to raise the patriotic spirit was a mystery. Except it was not, the ceremony at Red Square wasjust another event for the elite,not for the Russian masses.

As I continued to wait, the loudspeaker announced for parents to hold their children very carefully. Th is was a goodsign, yet I waited for another15 minutes. At long last, I saw some military cars moving to-wards us. Some of them bore theRussian fl ag, on their antennas.Th e cars passed in rows of one (not in rows of four like in Red Square). Olga at last arrived justin time (with 3 books) for theamphibians to come and waveat the people who had been an-ticipating their arrival. Next, thelight tanks arrived, and then the

312heavy T-72 tanks passed by us. Th en, the infamous katyusha rocket launchers came by us. Fi-nally, the intercontinental rock-ets arrived, about 20 meters long and looking very impressive. I noted how Russia would likely only use them against the Unit-ed States. Aft er the last military vehicle has passed, a parade of street washers had begun this was a good time as any to leave.

Now we could really sense the amount of people that were there. Due to all the metro sta-tion entrances being closed and half the streets being blocked off , we walked in vain for almost an hour with the confused crowds

trying to fi nd a way back. We asked some policemen who told us that Mayakovskaya sta-tion was now open so we headed north-west. One the Boulevard, we saw a photograph exhibition called Th e World through Rus-sian Eyes. Th e photographs were amazingly detailed, including one of the St. Basils Cathedral from a helicopter fl ying over Moscow during last years Victory Day Pa-rade. Seeing as the lines were end-less to even get some iced tea, we decided to return to Shchyolkovo.

We were much too tired to go to the song festival that was planned in Shchyolkovofor that day so we slept for the rest of

the day, waking up just in time to see some fi reworks on the 8th of May since more people would come to see them than on May 9th since it would have been before a holiday rather than af-ter, when people anticipate go-ing back to work the next day. Somewhat enthusiastic about the improved traffi c situation, I looked forward to another day of hard work in Moscow.

All in all, Victory Day cer-tainly is an impressive holiday as the parade is a quite grandi-ose spectacle. However, I cannot help but come to the conclusion that it fails in the most impor-tant task of bringing the Rus-

sian people together and giving them a sense of national pride. First, because most of the events take place in Red Square and one would probably see every-thing on television just as well. It just doesnt seem like a good bargain to spend your long-awaited holiday to see the tanks and rocket launchers for ten minutes. Second, many Russians seem to be bitter about the traf-fi c that the parade preparations cause as signifi cant parts of the City were blocked off two weeks ahead of time. Last but not least, from a historical standpoint it remains unclear whether the deaths of 27 million people dur-

ing the Great War are really a reason to feel proud of the sac-rifi ces or ashamed that the na-tions leadership allowed such atragedy to occur. For many, tak-ing a vacation is a better choice rather than pondering all this.As for me, I certainly felt proudof Russias historic victory andmy late grandparents contribu-tion to it, but is displaying itsmilitary might really the only thing left for Russia to be proud of, is there nothing else great todisplay and to rally the people? Maybe it is time to modernize national pride, the photography exhibition was certainly a goodstart.

It Is Ok To Frown

I love the idea of being happy, who doesnt? And I love being able to shift gears and count my blessings when small things seem to ruin my day. However, this idea of constant happi-ness sometimes comes with a price. Ive seen the stagnation that can happen if you chose to totally focus on the positive all the time and never see the things that need to be fi xed. Its like having a really pretty car whose engine is about to die, but hasnt yet, so you keep driving it

and pretending that it is ok. You can enjoy the way it looks all you want, and get jealous looks from passers by. However, one day you will get stuck in the middle of nowhere, in the rain, and be forced to wait for the tow truck for two hours. Its nice that we have those moments of break-down they move us out of plateau and force us to fi x things from the inside out. Wouldnt it be nice though if we could fi x our engines before they were broken and even out our lives a bit?

I think this is especially im-portant in the workplace. I was working for a for-profi t Univer-sity where everything seemed to be about the present moment colorful cubicles, loud fun music, inspirational meetings every other day. On the surface things were always happy; work-ers were being educated and inspired, the environment was fun, and the perks were pretty great free gym membership, loads of bonuses, etc. However, the heart of the operation was dark. When I thought about the result of my job, not only did I feel unfulfi lled but also like I have sold someone something I didnt believe in. Th at kind of

work wasnt for me. I wanted to be driven by the core of the com-pany not stricken down by it. I will discuss how we value diff er-ent aspects of our job another time. For now, lets talk about why a proverbial frown at work isnt a bad thing.

Th e culture of my old com-pany encouraged positivity and laughter and actively looked down upon negative comments and conversations. As a result, we existed in a colorful, smiling, almost Pleasantville-like envi-ronment. It was nice, however, to not talk about the darkness of the company every day and to actively avoid creating a nega-tive festering environment for 8 hours a day. It was good to be able to completely turn off for break time and chat about trav-el, good food, and friendships. However, without an outlet, my negativity would build and there were several days during my 5 month stint at this corpo-ration when the tension inside me would build so much that I would turn around while driving to work and call in sick. Instead, I would drive to the mountains or go visit my parents. I couldnt stand the thought of doing something I didnt believe in so

much I would physically feel ill preparing myself for the day.

My case is pretty extreme, but generally speaking it has become acceptable for us to let some major growth points of our job slide because its easier to not confront them. From there, things build up and one day we have a major blow out situation even at a place that we originally considered our dream job. News fl ash sometimes it still is our dream job, we just arent be-ing completely present to all of its realities. I once overheard someone talking about how they constantly lied to their boss about understanding what he was asking of them; it was easier that way. Th ey got most things done and never had to seem stupid to their boss. Th ey ac-tually postulated that lying al-lowed them to appear smart and effi cient, because they didnt ask any questions. How did this behavior actually refl ect on the person? Th ere was always a risk of them getting into trouble for not completing a task, and they werent truly sinking into the intention of their job. Why? Be-cause they didnt know exactly what their job was requiring and asking of them.

Asking a question, admitting you cant handle something, orsometimes even simply asking what the intention behind theaction is can be seen as strength.At least I hope that we can all fi nd bosses that agree with this. To me, these actions would show that the employee really caresabout what Im asking them todo and it is their attempt to re-ally own the project while keep-ing my vision in mind. Th us, sometimes when things dontmake sense or seem unethical,I hope we all can practice the idea of satya. Th is is a yogiccommandment of truth. Youare being truthful to yourself when you admit you dont know or like something. You are be-ing truthful with others, whenyou let things process and then ask the question how, why, or where? Ask it respectfully, ask it with a process, avoid asking reactively and then shut up andobserve the result.

Like I mentioned before, thehope that your perfect job comes with conditions that areaccepting of you frowning,questioning, and recognizing growth. A place where you donthave to fake your days, fake your smiles, and fake your results. Yes, this place requires you do-ing the work and connecting toyour truth. Th e overall results would satisfy your heart way more than quieting yourself completely, not contributing, and becoming unhappy with your work. You can pretend tobe happy, listen to fun music, color your cubicle and shoot theshit with your co-workers, butat the end of the day if you leaveand feel disconnected from theheart of what you do, how long will you last? How long can you only be present to the good,to the right now and avoid thedeeper connection of How?and Why?

Supplements May Raise, Not Lower, Cancer RiskAgata Blaszczak-Boxe

Although dietary supple-ments are oft en touted for their health benefi ts, they may in fact increase your cancer risk, es-pecially if taken in high doses, according to a new analysis of previous research.

In the analysis, researchers looked at 20 years of published studies on supplements and peoples risk of cancer.

In a nutshell, the answer is no, the vitamin pills do not reduce cancer risk, said the author of the analysis, Dr. Tim Byers, of the University of Colo-rado Cancer Center.

For example, in a study pub-lished in 2006 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers found that women

who had a high intake of folic-acid supplements had a 19 per-cent greater risk of breast can-cer than those who did not take such supplements. Moreover, women who had the highest levels of folate, the water-sol-

uble form of folic acid, in their blood had a 32 percent greater risk of breast cancer than those who had the lowest levels.

Th e reason the whole line of research began in the fi rst place was that we observed

that people who eat more fruits and vegetables seem to be at a lower cancer risk, Byers said. Researchers wondered whether there were particular vitamins in fruits and vegetables that were driving this benefi cial ef-fect, he said.

And the really scary fi nding is that in several of the trials, we see an increase in cancer in groups that were taking sup-plements such as beta carotene, vitamin E and folic acid, he said.

In a study of more than 35,000 men, published in 2011 in the journal JAMA, research-ers found that taking high-dose vitamin E supplements was linked to a 17 percent increase in cancer risk over seven to 12 years.

In another study, published in

1994 in the New England Jour-nal of Medicine, male smokerswho took beta-carotene supple-ments had an 18 percent higherrisk of lung cancer over fi ve to eight years compared with male smokers who did not take thesupplements. Th e fi nding rais-es the possibility that beta car-otene supplements are harmfulto smokers, the researchers saidin their article.

I think these are substantialenough increases in risk that wereally need to consider them asboth a clinical and public health safety issue, Byers said.

Many people in the United States take high-dose vitaminsupplements thinking it will im-prove their health, when it factit could be just the opposite, hesaid.
