Maharain Benito's Blog (9)

Message: A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?' Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.' 'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?' Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint. Finally he explained, 'When… Continue

When you experience a nutrient deficiency, your body will try to alert you. It may send a message via any combination of seemingly inconsequential symptoms: aches and pains, circulatory problems, cognitive impairment (such as brain fog, poor concentration, or memory loss), dandruff, depression, fatigue, infections, insomnia, irritability, or low energy levels. As Dr. Timothy Smith indicates, these situations tend to “drive doctors up a diagnostic tree” (1999). This frustration occurs because the… Continue

A TRIBUTE TO PROF. DIAMAEL “James” MAGARANG LUCMAN By: Dr. Guimba B. Poingan I met an extra-ordinary friend at the defunct MSU-Preparatory High School-Marawi in 1964. I was then Second Year and he was First Year. Since then, we have been together as good friends for about four (4) decades. One peculiarity of MSU-Prep. was not only on its general academic excellence in the region but most importantly on its evolved culture of intimacy and personalized relationships among its constituency espe… Continue

Decades ago, Physicians began warning diabetics away from sugar and sugary foods. More recently, they have raised the alarm about the dangers of eating trans-fats, and they have begun advising people to restrict their intake of certain fish due to the risk of heavy metals contamination. That is, mainstream medicine has made the connection between food and disease-but it has yet to focus on the connection between food and health. In contrast, sailors and explorers of the “new world” made the food… Continue

All praise is due to Allah, so we praise Him, and seek His pardon and we turn to Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and from the evil consequences of our deeds. Whom Allah guides a right there is none to lead him astray; and there is none to guide him a right whom Allah leads astray. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty and to Him is due all praise. He grants life and causes death and is Powerful over e… Continue

The Functionalist Explanation of the Role of Education in Modern Society http://www.123helpme.com/preview.asp?id=138626 I will discuss the functionalist's theories in comparison to those of the Marxist and Interactionists. Functionalists believe that all in society serves a purpose and it's a positive function. They also believe that education is a way of achieving in society; it develops people so that it gives them the opportunities in society (workplace). Durkheim believed that in order for… Continue

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Assalamu Alaikum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh We are all aware of the suffering our brothers and sisters in Palestine have endured over the last 60 years. The situation has now escalated to crisis point, and over 400 have been killed, not to mention the thousands who have been injured both physically and mentally with the unjust torture they have witnessed. We've conducted rally's, wrote to the organisations that are in positions of power, and si… Continue

By: Dr. Hj. Mohammad Guimba B. Poingan Ethics Ethics is derived from the Greek word “ethos” which means characteristics of doing things, or a body of customs.

Human acts are those done with full knowledge and full willingness or deliberation; those acts done… Continue
