Nature's Pharmacy Plants Used As Medicine
Notes from a Lancashire Country Man
It is easy to forget in these days of convenience shopping how important the wild flora of a region was to people in days gone by. gone are the days when every household relied upon decoctions, salves and infusions to treat ailments from coughs and colds to life threatening diseases. There is a surprising number of common plants that have proved beneficial to man. the common daisy Bellis perennis for example. Until quite recently the flowers were employed to make a syrup that was taken to counteract colds and flu, while the leaves that may be eaten in salads contain a high Vitamin C content.
Culpeper the 17th century herbalist declared " that God made them so common because they are so useful" he recommended the herb to be boiled in asses milk as being good and effectual against wounds and to be made into an ointment or syrup. It is documented that the common daisy was the main ingredient in the production of an ointment that was especially popular during the 14th century, when the plant acquired the country name of bruise wort. { wort being the old name for herb}. An infusion of the daisy flowers/and or leaves can be used as a lotion to dab on to wounds.
Walking through a summer meadow redolent with wild flowers one can admire them for their beauty alone. Yet in days gone by one would walk in those meadows as one would walk into a pharmacy today. They would be gathered both for food and medicine. One of the plants gathered from Nature's Pharmacy was the ribwort plantain Plantago lanceolatus. In England it is one of our most common grassland plants.
The leaves of this species are easy to identify being lance-shaped hence the species name of lanceolatus { indicating a lance-shaped leaf }, which at their broadest are no more than 2cm across. They taper to a point at the tip and gradually tapering into a stalk which may well achieve 30cm in length. However, when the foliage is new and beginning to grow they form a tight " rosette " close to the ground. The under side of the leaf has 3-5 prominent rib-like veins which run the length of the blade, hence the common name of ribwort.
The flowers are an unusual form and therefore instantly recognisable borne on stalks that are much taller than the leaves, they are furrowed and prominent. The flower heads vary also in size and form. You may see in the same meadow flower heads that are the more usual elongated type and some that will be more rotund. It is the four stamens with their white filaments and yellowish-coloured anthers that circle the whole of the head that make them un- mistakable. I have used the leaves of this plant many times to make a herbal tea { an infusion } and as a syrup which was often recommended for children with coughs and colds. The leaves possess a natural anti-biotic, and Vitamin C. Culpeper, recommended the herb for inward torments of the bowel stating that " the juice of the plantain, clarified and drunk some days together " as being effectual.
It has long been regarded as a healing herb. The Anglo-Saxons had a nine-herb charm the ribwort being one of them. Between the nine herbs they believed they could cure or treat all infections and diseases.
The other common plantain may be found in a variety of places but it is on well trodden pathways and other waste places that it flourishes best of all. They can be a bane to gardeners when it takes hold in his lawn. However, if they are located soon after the leaves begin to appear they can be dug out without to much labour being involved. This species has a much broader leaf blade than the ribwort and are roughly the shape of the sole of a human's foot hence the generic name of Plantago which derives from the Latin planta meaning the sole of a foot. The seed s are large and tightly packed upon a long stalk which rises well above the foliage. They are superficially like a rats tail in form a name they are known as by country folk. These seeds were was left to swell in water, before the whole lot was taken as a purgative. However, the reaction was violent and dangerous, herbalist had to stop using it. The fresh leaves were made into a tea to use against water retention, but other herbs are thought to be more efficient in dealing with this affliction. The leaves can be used safely to ease the pain of nettle stings in the same manner as those of the broad-leaved dock, that is to say, both types of leaves must be crushed in your hand until the juice is extracted, for it is the juice of the foliage that alleviates the pain.
Sour Sorrels
It is thought that the sour docks referred to in old herbals would most likely be the sorrels. Indeed the name sorrel comes from a French word that means sour. The common sorrel was once regularly eaten as a vegetable and as a salad. It was not until the larger, more palatable cultivars came along that they fell from favour. Farm labourers working in hot meadows and pastures would suck the sorrel leaf to take away the dryness in their mouths in the manner that American Native Indians would suck a pebble on long journeys across the plains. The genus name of Rumex drives from Latin and indicates to suck.
Other dock species were also employed in medicine and culinary preparations. One use made of the broad-leaved dock, was that butter was wrapped in the foliage to keep it cool during the transportation to market. This practise earned it the country title of butter dock. These plants may lack the showy flowers of other grassland species but they have had associations with man for centuries.
The grassland in summer plays host to many species of the pea and bean family, which include vetches, medicks, trefoils and clovers. Of these it was the flower heads of red clover Trifolium pratensis that were employed medicinally in the form of a syrup that was claimed to be efficacious in counteracting the symptoms of whooping cough. The most familiar plant of the family is probably the runner and broad beans grown for centuries in cottage gardens. They all belong to the Leguminosae. The name derives from the Latin legume- a bean from legere meaning to pick { a crop }.
Yet another common plant of grassland, waste places and gardens is the common or field horse tail. In the garden they can become a floral adversary anchoring their roots deep between paving stones and similar situations, causing consternation. Like many persistent weeds one piece of the wiry root left undetected will produce another plant. The horse tails are a relic of prehistoric times. They do not produce seeds like flowering plants but spread by producing millions of microscopic spores. most species like to be anchored in wet or damp situations. Out of all the species that are found in Britain it is once again the common or garden horsetail Equisetum arvense which was utilised in medicine. The field horse tail was considered beneficial to human health for it comprises trace elements of potassium, magnesium and calcium. another important constituent of the plant is silica which aids the healing of skin and helps tooth enamel.In archaic times the plant was used to staunch bleeding.
Today infusions can be made from the dried tops which are considered to be a tonic. as a bonus this infusion can also be used as a gargle to relieve the pain of sore throats and inflamed tonsils. The Romans ate the fresh young tips in salads but the modern day palate may find the gritty texture and bitter taste not to their liking. This gritty composition led them to being used to clean pewter giving rise to the country title of pewter wort.
The gardeners dislike of the plant may be lessened, by an overnight soaking of the tops in three litres of water. The resulting liquid can be sprayed on other plants as a fungicide to prevent black spot and mildew.
Selfheal Prunella vulgaris was a much sought after plant in days gone by. Culpeper exclaimed that "he needeth neither doctor or surgeon that has selfheal to heal himself" nearly three hundred years later it was still considered as an astringent and used to heal wounds. The genus name Prunella derives from a Germanic word that alluded to the throat and was greatly employed as a gargle. In days gone by there was a strong belief in " the doctrine of signatures". It was believed that every plant would show an outward sign , in either form or colour of the affliction it was meant to cure. In the case of self heal the hooded flowers bore a fanciful resemblance to the bill hook, a tool in everyday use in medieval times. as such it caused most injuries that occurred during that time. Thus the logic of the archaic mind led herbalist to believe the plant should be used to heal such injuries.
Arboreal species have also contributed greatly towards medicinal and culinary preparations. A good example of this is the elder tree. At one time or another every part of the tree has been utilised in one way or the other. However, in this day and age it is mainly the flowers and berries that are used. During the autumn { incidentally I personally like the term Fall used by our American cousins for this season } , when the berries are mature they can be made into an elderberry rob a strong cordial that when taken at bedtime is beneficial at relieving the symptoms of colds, flu and fevers. Elderberry and elder flower wines have been consumed with relish for centuries. The flowers that hang in tight sprays may be deep fried until they are a golden brown colour -delicious!. The flowers may also be packed tightly into a glass container which is then filled with water. The resulting liquid makes a skin lotion that is regarded as excellent for complexions.
In olden times the foliage was thought to repel flies. A mixture was made of the leaves and applied to the skin to keep the flies away. The problem was it also repelled your friends.
The list of plants and trees that were utilised by man is almost endless and many more will be dealt with in detail in further hubs. The knowledge of how to use these gifts from nature has now been lost to many people. Yet we still owe them a great debt for the greatest of benefit they bestow, -the one thing we can not live without-oxygen!
Great article! Loved hearing historical uses of plants as well as modern uses. I am not white sure why the picture associated with this article is hemlock. I am pretty sure it is only used to poison someone.
thanks 4 the info i waz looking 4 some 2 use for a scienc paper :)
Great article, well written. I learned a lot, thanks. Awesome Hub!
Really amazing information for me , i did not know before this .Thanks my dear.
I have been using and studying plants & herbs for their benefits for years but never heard of these, I will have to bookmark and study this out!

Mailbox Peak
When trying to pick out a hike for last weekend, my roommate (nyanko) and I had a few criteria. We needed to be done by early afternoon, and I wanted it to be at least a little challenging, since I'm kinda sorta training for a much bigger hike later in the summer (TBD). Somehow this led us to choose Mailbox Peak, for its proximity (satisfying criterion #1) and for its steepness (#2). I had read many reviews, I KNEW that it was steep (the trail gains 4000 feet in 2.5 miles), but somehow, knowing doesn't seem to placate your muscles when the slope is so steep that your heels are no longer touching the ground. Ultimately, we made it to the top, and it was well worth the work. The views were awesome (we could see Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, possibly Mt. St. Helens, Puget Sound, the Olympics, Seattle, Mt. Si, Mt. Baker, and Glacier Peak, just to name a few...). The wildflowers were some of the best I've ever seen. There were, in fact, two mailboxes and a newspaper holder on the peak, as promised, but the fire hydrant that I'd heard about was no longer there. Our much anticipated lunch was extraordinarily yummy, especially because nyanko brought along cherries. A number of people, using the trail as a training hike, got to the top, dumped out the water weights they were carrying, and headed back down after only a few minutes' rest. Crazy! The way down was about as slow going as the way up - just because it was so steep! I tried to take some pictures to convey the steepness, but unless you were behind the camera, I think it's still hard to tell. Of course, it was also slow going because I had to stop every few steps to take more pictures of the wildflowers :). Once we were back in the forest (having successfully skirted the giant talus slope that we almost climbed up on the first part of the trip till someone came by and hollered that there was a way around), we reentered the forest and started following the green dots (trailmarkers, in this case). We had actually taken a lesser trail for part of the way up the hill, which had been marked with a set of older green dots - since it's not a maintained trail, it was easy to lose track of where the main trail was actually going. Anyway, we took the correct (or at least, more used) path back down the hill, though it wasn't too much better. Things got tricky when we got to the part where the trail was not only steep, but also covered in gravel, which acted like marbles or ball bearings, and wreaked havoc on our exhausted senses of balance. I actually fell several times, but with no major injuries. By the time we got back down to the flat forest road that lead back to the trailhead, we were overjoyed. Despite all the foibles and glitches, we had a great time and I'm glad we did it. But next time, we're definitely going to find a more "normal" trail. Click here for some more photos!

Surprise! Lake
Two weekends ago I headed up to the Stevens Pass area again, this time to go on a dayhike to Surprise Lake. The hike started out with a gradual climb through typical Northwest forest, then turned up a steeper hill to gain access to the lake. The water was crystal clear and quite chilly (I went in up to my knees). We ate lunch and enjoyed the scenery, then turned our boots downhill to head back to the cars at the trailhead. I brought up the rear of the group so that I could take advantage of the many wildflower photo opportunities! Click on the image below to see some more results!

Cherry pickin'
This is the third year I've had my dwarf stella cherry tree on my balcony, but the first time I managed to get any edible fruit from it. The first year it didn't produce fruit (this is normal) and then last year the birds ate the unripe cherries before I could get to them. This year, on the recommendation of a labmate, I bought a net to put over the tree and thereby prevent the birds' access. I wasn't sure how to tell when the cherries were ripe... but when I noticed two of them becoming over-ripe, I figured that was good enough! I managed to get 15 cherries from the tree, all told, and they were delicious! Maybe I'll get even more next year :)

4th of July fireworks
This year for the Fourth, I went to Elizabeth and Andrew's for a nice BBQ and then we walked down to Gasworks for the show. Despite having lived within walking distance for two years, I never did go all the way to the park for the show - but it was totally worth it! It was crowded, for sure, but hearing the music for the fireworks' choreography was awesome, and it was great to be so close. I took along my recently returned camera and grabbed some fun shots - click on the photo to see some more. These pictures came out decidedly better than the shots I took last year with my old camera, especially since that one could only keep the shutter open for 0.25 seconds at the longest. Thanks to Peter for helping me adjust the levels on the above shot. :)
I think the biggest hit of the show was the new type of firework that rose up into the sky very slowly, all the while sparkling away. Some people thought they looked like jellyfish, others thought they looked like UFOs - I just thought they were neat (and HOW did they do that?!)

My favourite scary movie moments
I love horror movies. As a lot of people have, I started watching them when I probably shouldn't have been. I would sneak down into the living room when my parents were watching them and watch through the railing, scaring my self like crazy and then running back up to my room, scared out of my mind and having to get myself to sleep with visions of ghouls and ghosts dancing in my head.
There are some scenes that I can remember being the scariest that I have seen, the ones that really stick with you. Here they are in no particular order.

Kairosoft makes addictive games. But you've still probably never heard of them.
Kairosoft might not be a name you're familiar with. If you don't own an iPhone, you may have never heard of them at all. They're a developer out of Japan, and they've had a recent string of hit games for the iPhone. I personally have been a fan of them since their first game, and I've been hooked on the rest of their offerings since. Here's a review of some of the games they've come out with (the one's I've played), hopefully you'll try them out!

Stephen King Week: How Stephen King scared the heck out of 10-year old me
I was introduced to Stephen King at 10 years old, by way of an old dusty copy of Salem's Lot that I had found in my grandfather's basement. Having been purchased nearly 20 years prior, it was in fairly bad shape but readable none the less, albeit a little yellowed and wrinkled. I took it upstairs and asked my mom where it came from, and she had told me that someone had bought it for her but she hadn't been able to finish it. She was never a fan of anything scary; even to this day she closes her eyes at scary movie previews. She told me to see what I thought. That night I started reading, in the dark with a little light on overhead, and what followed was one of the most frightening reading experiences I've ever had.

Anti-Ahamadia demonstrationsReligious tolerance precondition for democracy
Anti-Ahamadia zealots demonstrated against the sect again Friday and have given the government a one-week ultimatum to declare Ahamadias non-Muslims. This time several thousand were present at the hate-filled rally in Tejgaon in which the demonstrators threatened to either burn down or take over the Ahamadia mosque in Nakhalpara and vowed to bring the country to a standstill if their demands are not met.
This is utterly unacceptable. In the first place, who are these self-proclaimed arbiters of religious faith and what gives them the right to declare that another person is or is not a Muslim? In the second, what possible good can come of the government declaring the Ahamadia community non-Muslims. Nothing will thereby be accomplished, no one will benefit. To the contrary, the Ahamadia community will only be further marginalised and will have been denied their constitutional and human right to practice their religion freely without interference.
Finally, the government cannot sit idle as rabble-rousers threaten violence and destruction if they are not appeased. No group can be permitted to terrorise a community and intimidate the government with impunity.
The government must respond in the strongest possible manner to this kind of religious extremism. There can be no question of declaring any sect non-Muslim. This is not a question for the government in any event. Furthermore, the government cannot tolerate violent demonstrations that threaten the security and safety of any community and indeed all of us.
The government must crack down on this kind of incitement to sectarian violence with an iron hand. It is against the law in this country to foment religious hatred and violence. The ring-leaders are a matter of public record as are the groups plans and agenda that amount to organised terror.
This is a test for the government. It cannot permit this kind of lawlessness that could lead to the further disintegration of our society. Do we wish to live in a country where religious bigots can terrorise communities they disapprove of and dictate terms with threats of violence?

Holy Diver (Famicom) James & Mike Mondays
Mike Matei / June 20th, 2016
June 20, 2016 at 2:53 am
The Life and magic meter plus the fairy appearing sound effect is from Link II how did James and Mike missed that ?
June 20, 2016 at 3:40 am
Didn't notice the sound, but that's Adventure of Link's life meter. A big Castlevania 3 inspiration too.
June 20, 2016 at 4:03 pm
That style of life meter was used in many games, not just zelda II. It definitely isn't exactly the same no is it likely ripped from it, because Zelda II didn't invent it.
June 22, 2016 at 9:20 am
The sounds are actully the same sounds from metal gear on NES.
Just listen to when he dies and also the rythm the tones goes with.
The graphic seem to be more castlevania 3 as Smokingspoon says.
But the speed in the game appears to be the same as in Contra, so what we got here seem to be a hybrid of several other games if you want to strech it that far. =)Internoob
June 20, 2016 at 2:54 am
This was a great video. It's always nice to see you two play good games like this that you can progress through and eventually beat, rather than games that you just play for a few minutes and shut off. I really hope you guys finish it, or at least continue to play it for another video or two. It was a ton of fun and Id love to see more of it.
June 20, 2016 at 3:36 am
-Oh! It's another fucking health-bar!
-… Nice!!
That made me laugh. That was exciting, the game looks really fun.
June 20, 2016 at 3:49 am
Great video, boys. Loved it.
June 20, 2016 at 4:02 am
looks like a cool ass gamebud
June 20, 2016 at 7:28 am
There should be a holiday for hate. 😀
June 20, 2016 at 12:29 pm
Maybe this will help with naming it:
In 1589, Peter Binsfeld paired each of the deadly sins with a demon, who tempted people by means of the associated sin. According to Binsfeld's classification of demons, the pairings are as follows:
Lucifer: Pride
Mammon: Greed
Asmodeus: Lust
Leviathan: Envy
Beelzebub: Gluttony (lord of the flies)
Satan: Wrath
Belphegor: SlothSlamraptor
June 20, 2016 at 10:05 am
This game looks really REALLY good. O_o
Tanks for introducing it to me! (:
There is no sane explanation why this isn't available outside of Japan.
June 20, 2016 at 12:33 pm
Maybe they were scared of being sued for trademark infringement on the name "Holy Diver", based on the intent shown by their choice of character names.
(Mandrake Linux lost an infringement case because their use of a wizard in their art convinced the court that the name's intent was to infringe on the "Mandrake the Magician" comic strip's trademark.)Satnav
June 20, 2016 at 11:40 am
The main issue I see here is that the jumping controls in this game seem to suck.calmLIKEaBOB-OMB
June 20, 2016 at 1:37 pm
Why did you buy this retardedly expensive game when you're only gonna play it once? Just by a Everdrive and stop throwing away money.
June 20, 2016 at 1:49 pm
Granted, I know you'll make more than enough money off the views of this video to pay for it. But it's still silly in my opinion.
June 20, 2016 at 8:01 pm
I got it complete in box for £50 which honestly- these days isn't that much- the price of a regular videogame.
June 20, 2016 at 5:06 pm
C'mon fells run under and past the dragons when they high jump! Don't bother fighting the dumb things!
June 20, 2016 at 5:41 pm
who else understood "HELLentines day"?
June 20, 2016 at 5:53 pm
niiice, i sooo wanna play this game like right the fuck now, it does look awesome. Really liked this video too guys, i hope you make more vids of this game
June 20, 2016 at 6:03 pm
That Blizzard, needs a nerf. 😀
June 20, 2016 at 7:59 pm
I've actually beaten this on an new model AV Famicom.
Honestly it is one of the hardest games I've ever beaten – each stage you beat makes you think the next couldn't possibly be AS bad but Stage 4's boss and Stage 6 say otherwise.

James has a hickey on his neck, lol.ssokolow
June 20, 2016 at 10:51 pm
I think they use English rather than Japanese for technical reasons.
The NES has no built-in font, so every game has to include its own bitmapped font in the ROM.
Memory was expensive in the NES days
English is taught in school in Japan
Even if you're just sticking to Hiragana, Japanese requires almost twice as many glyphs as English (46 vs. 26)
From what I remember, the Latin alphabet is easier to produce an acceptable low-resolution font for.
(That's actually a big reasons why the technical quality of Atari 2600 games rose so dramatically over the course of its lifetime. The cost of ROM chips for cartridges dropped.)
June 21, 2016 at 4:11 am
The reson why it's in english is because Japanese find english words cool. You never see words like Game over in Japanese, it's always in english. I learn that while working on International titles at Gameloft.
June 21, 2016 at 9:55 am
Ahh. I knew they loved how English's flexibility made it useful for creating slang and slogans, but I didn't realize it extended that far.
(Wide selection of synonyms, powerfully flexible grammar rules, and our sloppy spelling rules and imperfect mapping to the Latin alphabet make it easy to create new words or spellings that will remain comprehensible)deniii
June 24, 2016 at 3:37 pm
To Japanese people, english is an exotic language just as japanese is exotic to western people.
You can see a lot of people here with kanji tattoos (even though they don't know what it means) and you can see a lot of shop signs in english in Japan with messed syntax (they just don't care, the signs are made to look cool and exotic)Don Skiver

This game is great. It's hard as dinosaur turds but it's great.Monte A

Now everytime I hear those kinda chiptunes I get reminded of the early Touhou games. Even if I also get reminded of many other games I played as a child I remember they were hard and thus, remember Touhou again.

Yesterday, protests took place at public schools around the city to express dissatisfaction with the latest round of standardized tests based on the new Common Core curriculum, and PS 150 was no exception. The photograph at right was taken yesterday morning during a demonstration at the foot of the steps of PS 150, and in this New York magazine story about the protests, PS 150 Principal Jenny Bonnet described the frustration that she, the teachers, and the students felt as the tests were administered earlier this month:
Rather than evaluating reading comprehension skills, Jenny Bonnet, principal of P.S. 150 in Tribeca says they were "more [about] having [students] have to flip back and forth and look at structural things versus having a deep understanding of what the passage is about … When I first looked at the test, I was just in shock. I was having trouble with my fellow teachers — we sat around and tried to answer some of the questions — and I thought, This is ridiculous. I'm an adult, I should be able to answer these questions. If it's hard for me, these poor kids — they must be incredibly confused."
In a speech at New York University on Thursday, New York State education commissioner John B. King Jr. defended the tests as being more reflective of Common Core standards than earlier evaluations, saying, "Unfortunately, the facts around testing seem to get lost. … The new Common Core tests are a much better reflection of the skills students will need for college and career success. They rely less on multiple choice and require students to write more. … They are better tests." On April 9, Elizabeth Phillips, the principal of PS 321 in Park Slope, Brooklyn, wrote an op-ed for the New York Times protesting both the tests and the gag order imposed on those who administered them, "We Need to Talk About the Test: A Problem with the Common Core."

Light shows, well rehearsed performances, world tours, screaming fans, fan clubs, groupies, big business pushing sales, effective marketing campaign, and the possibility to earn awards all describe what drives many modern bands in their quest to become legendary in the music world. Today, many Christian musician artists are virtually no different than the world's counterparts. Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) artists have fan clubs, groupies that follow them, professional marketing, big name record labels, online stores, and memorabilia for sale. They perform using the same entertainment format as their non-Christian bands. So what's the difference between non-Christian and Christian bands? Oh, that's right, most CCM artists have traveling pastors who speak a word during the show, and they sing/worship God.
I'm a firm believer that with enough mob mentality you can convince many people to say virtually anything. Most CCM concerts are full of entertainment and void of any real form of teaching/preaching the Gospel of Christ. They are big on emotional worship, heart gripping stories from their speakers, and praising God, but are they truly obeying the Lord and His Word? I've discussed this subject in the past only to have many people disagree with me because they say "Christians need an alternative to the world's entertainment; there is nothing wrong with the way that CCM artists worship." Why do Christians need an alternative to the world's entertainment that is a mirror image of the world? If you give me the right setup with the right entertainment, I can wear a group of people out to the point where mob mentality will lead them to say just about anything I want them to say including, "Jesus, I accept you." The emotionally charged environment along with the need to be accepted will lure many to "repeat after me" because they want to be part of what's going on. If you take the time to break down the format of almost all CCM concerts, it's easy to see that everything is just part of the show. Everything that is done during the concert is to promote the band so that people will buy their products.
I have no problem with using electric guitars, drums, etc. in our music services. My problem is how CCM is literally no different than what you see at any other concert. Sure, there are no alcohol sales and vulgar slogan signs, but what is the real difference? When these CCM artists come to town they setup their portable store and fan club booths, have photo ops, speak at local Christian radio stations, sale tickets, and set out to make as much money as possible all in the name of Jesus. We must face the truth, and the truth is CCM is big money and big business. Many in this industry only slap the name of Jesus to everything, when in fact they are more concerned about meeting deadlines and getting better contracts. The old saying, "Time is money, friend," sums up the marketing machine driving many CCM artists. It's all about the money, the fame, and keeping your record label happy with all the green that is pouring in! It's not only CCM, many Southern Gospel singers are in the same boat. The Christian music industry is a marketing machine that is driving ecumenical theology and false teachings. Feel good messages of hope, unity presented as the ultimate showing of love, and peace through praise/worship are the hooks that are peddled in order to lure in more customers.
I'm not saying that all Christian music artists fall into this category, but I do believe many of them are lured into this business by fame and wealth.
Ephesians 5:1-21 (New International Version)
Ephesians 5
1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

- The site where peking man was excavated was a fire pit. - After closly obverserving the skulls found at Zhoukan Cave, scientists have concluded that Peking Man was hunted by humans. After being killed, Peking Man's body was taken to the cave and the humans ripped open his skull and devoured his brain. However, there are some scientists who disregard this theory as false. No one really knows for sure how he died. - In 1933, a number of modern human bones were found in the upper portion of the same cave. Remember that ancestrial forms of an organism can coexist with the more evolved type. - Before Peking Man was classifed as Homo erectus, the new humaniod type was assigned to Pithecanthropus and Sinanthropus.

It's been said that New Democrats were Liberals in a hurry. Then, Trudeau's Liberals campaigned to the left of the NDP and now the LEAP manifesto has echoes of Trudeau advisor Gerald Butts in it which has me wondering, is it the other way around now?
During the election, Trudeau promised deficit spending, higher taxes and a very left wing agenda. I didn't realize how left until I thought about the LEAP manifesto a bit more.
Here's what the radicals behind the LEAP manifesto write about energy policy:
"There is no longer an excuse for building new infrastructure projects that lock us into increased extraction decades into the future."
Doesn't that sound an awful lot like Gerry Butts, top advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who called for a zero carbon economy?
Butts made that statement when he was head of the World Wildlife Fund. He also signed onto a document calling for an end to infrastructure that would support the "Tar Sands." Joining him as a signatory on that document was Marlo Raynolds, then head of the Pembina Institute, now Chief of Staff to Environment Minister Catherine McKenna.
So is the LEAP manifesto just not that radical now? Or is it that the Liberals are now that radical?
The answer is easy: The Liberals have become radicals.
Watch as I make connections to some of Trudeau's radical ministers that demonstrate their radical views and tie it all to the LEAP manifesto.
Trudeau and company have departed from decades of Liberals who are centrists and become Liberals pushing harder for socialism than the NDP.
And the scary part for Canada is that the Liberals are in charge for four more years.

Hope you get to see some pretty sights to photograph today. :)

Really enjoying your photo posts lately, Christina!
What do you think of the quality of photos you are getting from your new iTouch?
I was thinking of buying one, but read some reviews on Amazon which seem to suggest that the photo quality is very poor - however your photos look stunning as ever!
Have you printed any of them out? Do they look OK?
Thanks! Lana

In Defense of Orgo Night #3
On Thursday, December 15, 2016, at midnight, the Columbia University Marching Band ("the cleverest band in the world™") performed a show of music and satirical comedy in sub-freezing temperatures on the steps outside Butler Library on the Columbia campus. Since 1975 the Band has performed a similar show, dubbed "Orgo Night," (because the show happens on the eve of the organic chemistry final) in which the Band skewers university administration, other Ivy schools, rival student groups, and the world in general in a witty and often raunchy program. The location of the show on December 15, however, was unusual. Traditionally the band marches into the main College Reading Room inside Butler Library, known as Room 209, to the strains of the school fight song before launching into its program. This scheduled study break for the assembled students who choose to study for finals in that room typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. This fall, however, Vice-Provost and recently hired Head Librarian Ann D. Thornton, with the support of President Lee Bollinger and Columbia College Dean James Valentini, banned the Band from the library. The ban, which was not discussed with the Band or with university students in advance, was announced only days before the scheduled event. Ms. Thornton stated that the reason for the sudden change in tradition was a desire to maintain quiet study space inside the library, and President Bollinger publicly maintained that it was based on "complaints" from students about the Orgo Night show. University officials claimed that the ban was not related to the content of the shows and that they were not trying to censor the Band's speech. The university offered to permit the Band to stage the show in a different location at midnight, but the Band chose to stage its show outside the library as a protest, which was attended by several hundred students.
Since the sudden and unexpected eviction of the Band from the library, all four undergraduate student councils have called for reversal of the decision, the editors of the Spectator and BWOG have issued statements of support for the Band, and many alumni have sent letters of protest. University officials have remained resolute in their decision, however. This series of essays, drafted by concerned alumni, addresses the university's claimed reasoning for its decision, the process by which it was implemented, and the reasons why the decision should be reconsidered.
(Links to earlier essays can be found on the right margin of this blog.)
Columbia Administrators Have Failed To Properly Weigh and Balance the Competing Interests of the Relevant Stakeholders.
President Bollinger, Dean Valentini, and new Head Librarian Ann Thornton have decided that the interests of a few hypothetical students who might object to having their quiet study in the Butler Library Reading Room (Room 209) interrupted by the Marching Band's Orgo Night show are more important than preserving the Orgo Night tradition. This also means that the Columbia administration values the preferences of these "Quiet Study Requestors" over the preferences of the students who look forward to the Orgo Night show and who would prefer to continue the tradition in Butler 209, including the students in the Band. Even putting aside whether the Quiet Study Requestors really exist, which will be the subject of a later essay, this decision to end the Orgo Night tradition is an incorrect choice based on a balancing of the relative interests of the involved students.
Suppose two hundred orthodox Jewish students told the head of the athletic department that they were offended by their inability to watch Friday night basketball games and protested that the men's basketball games on Fridays should be moved to 3:00 p.m. start times to accommodate their religious observances. And then let's say that the AD, being sympathetic to those complaints, went to her superiors at the university and lobbied for a change in the start times for Friday basketball games to 3:00 based on these sincerely brought complaints. Do you suppose that the powers that be at the university would say "sure, let's do that" and agree to the change? No? Why not? Women's games routinely start at 6:00 p.m. and even have included an 11:00 a.m. start time on a weekday. Soccer games often start on weekdays at 5:00. Swim meets start at noon or 2:00 without problem. Of course, starting at 3:00 would guarantee smaller crowds and lower revenue. And so, the university would have to balance the legitimate and sincere objections of the orthodox Jewish students (and other students whose religious observance includes Friday nights) against the competing interests of the athletic department, alumni, and the university generally.
A balance is always necessary in such cases. Merely because one, two, or a hundred students complain about a particular issue does not mandate that the university take action to satisfy their complaint or objection, or grant them the precise remedy they request. Certainly, the number of those complaining is one factor in this balancing exercise, as is the seriousness and significance of the objection. If, for example, a dozen students from African countries objected to a newly placed sculpture on the grounds that it was offensive and demeaning toward Africans (readers can use their imagination as to what kind of image might generate that reaction), the university would undoubtedly take the complaint quite seriously because it has racial/cultural overtones and although someone in the university administration approved the purchase and placement of that sculpture, significant consideration would be given to removing it. The balancing of interests would include how difficult it would be to remove the sculpture and replace it with something else, how much bad press the university would absorb if the complaints were ignored, and how likely future students would be to similarly object to the sculpture. There are likely more factors that would be considered, but the point is that there would be a weighing of interests and the students' concerns would be weighted quite significantly. There would also likely be public debate and discussion about the issue.
Now suppose that a different group of a dozen students advised a vice-provost that they were offended by the statue of Alma Mater because of the existence of some symbolism within the statue that is demeaning and derogatory toward their cultural heritage. Here, university administration would likely utter statements of sympathy and understanding, but there would be not the slightest discussion about removing Alma Mater from her perch in front of Low Library. The feelings of these students would be given little weight. Why? Because Alma has occupied that space for several generations and is an established iconic part of the university landscape. It was there when the students matriculated, and although the university regrets their hurt feelings, they are just going to have to get over it because the value to the university of maintaining Alma far exceeds the concerns of those students. It's still a balance, but in this case all the weight is on the side of not removing the sculpture.
A mere objection, offense, or inconvenience does not automatically trigger action when there are other considerations, no matter how sincere the complaint and no matter how many students share the same feelings. While some types of claimed offense will certainly be weighted more heavily, none are so overwhelming that they trump all other factors.
In the present Orgo Night discussion, on one side of the scale is the value of Orgo Night. Another essay has addressed this factor at greater length, but for present purposes all sides in the discussion must agree that maintaining the tradition of Orgo Night has value to the university, which promotes it as a venerated Columbia tradition. And at least some students enjoy the program and appreciate the brief break from their studies. We will call this group the "Orgo Night Audience."
On the opposite side of the scale is the value of having quiet study time during finals week, which is interrupted by the Orgo Night show for those students who prefer to study in Butler 209, but who don't want to see the Band's show. We have already dubbed this group the "Quiet Study Requestors." We will further assume that these hypothetical students have no objection to the Orgo Night program content, but only with the disruption to their studies that accompanies the program. The value of accommodating the Quiet Study Requestors weighs in on the other side of the scale. How many such students exist is a question, and will be addressed in another essay, but we will assume for now that they are real and that their concerns are not immaterial.
If Butler 209 were the only available study space, the requests from the two competing groups would be mutually exclusive and the value of each side's interests, along with the costs, would have to be weighed against each other. Perhaps reasonable minds could differ as to the proper outcome of the balance, but, the available alternatives must also be weighed and factored in.
The first question that should be asked is whether there is alternative quiet study space for the Quiet Study Requestors. The answer is yes. Space is already available in Lehman library and in the Science and Engineering Library as well as in dedicated study space in dormitory buildings after midnight on Orgo Night. This space has undoubtedly been used for many years by Quiet Study Requestors.
The next question should be whether there is any reason to think that the alternate space is not sufficient to accommodate the Quiet Study Requestors. A competent Head Librarian would surely have usage statistics about her library space and would know for a fact when and where students are using the spaces and whether there really is a shortage at any point in time. Surely a competent Head Librarian would conduct a survey, or at least dispatch some minions to eye-ball each of the open libraries at midnight on Orgo Night to see how much space is really available. In this case, Ms. Thornton came to a conclusion, without any support or data, that midnight study space on campus is "in even higher demand," presumably as justification for the need to free up space in Butler. The absence of any data to support that statement suggests that it is speculation and not an actual fact.
But, even if this were a true problem, it is easily accommodated by alternative options. If there really were a shortage of midnight study space, other libraries that are already open until 11:00 or midnight on Orgo Night could be kept open an extra hour or two so that there would be no such shortage. The cost to the university of a few extra hours of open library space in Avery, Mathematics, or Business and Economics is a minor factor in the equation. Moreover, since the university was willing to absorb the cost of opening the Roone Arledge Auditorium as performance space for the Band, the cost of keeping another library open for a few hours would be substantially less and so the university has conceded that the cost of providing alternate study space is not a problem.
So, there is other quiet study space available for the Quiet Study Requestors, or alternate space could be easily made available on Orgo Night. But, there would be some amount of inconvenience to the hypothetically disrupted students in having to study somewhere other than Butler 209 for one night. Of course, it is necessarily true that these hypothetical students, unless first semester first-years, have in the past studied somewhere other than Butler 209 on Orgo Night, so for them the status quo is already an alternate location. Changing the Band's location would allow those hypothetical students to change their historic studying location and move to Butler 209 instead. This is the remaining value and cost on the side of changing the Band's venue – the number of Quiet Study Requestors, the minimal cost of providing some extra library hours outside of Butler (if that is even needed), and the inconvenience factor of not permitting them to study in Butler 209, where they have never studied before on Orgo Night, but where they presumably would prefer to study. While these values and costs are not zero, they are not substantial.
On the other hand, a change in venue for the Orgo Night show would inflict a great inconvenience on students who want to attend the program – the Orgo Night Audience. They would be required to exit the library and move to some alternate venue at midnight, and then return to the Library afterwards if they wanted to continue studying in a library environment. Or, they would have to forego attending the Band's show and miss out on its value. The balance would seem to favor not changing the Orgo Night venue simply because the relative inconvenience to the Quiet Study Requestors of choosing an alternate location is significantly less than the inconvenience to the Orgo Night Audience of having to get up and move across campus at midnight and then come back again. Thus, even without factoring in the value of the tradition of Orgo Night, a change in venue would not be warranted solely based on the balancing of interests of the two affected groups.
We know that the Orgo Night Audience is substantial. On December 15th, hundreds of students came outside in the freezing cold to watch the show. Despite Ms. Thornton's off-the-cuff observation that the audience for Orgo Night has "declined in recent semesters" (which we seriously doubt about that assertion in the absence of some actual data that Ms. Thornton certainly does not have), the most recent Orgo Night audience dispels any idea that the size of the Orgo Night Audience is insignificant. Certainly, it is larger than the hypothetical Quiet Study Requestors.
And, even aside from the interests of the Orgo Night Audience, the Orgo Night show has independent value to the university, as noted in Pamphlet #2. Moving Orgo Night out of Butler 209 fundamentally changes the nature of the event and alters the tradition. The whole point of Orgo Night is to interrupt the grind of studying with a funny and irreverent show that reminds the audience of students that there is life beyond their finals and that it's a good thing to take a few minutes to laugh. The alternate location for Orgo Night, therefore, substantially diminishes the value of the Orgo Night event and destroys its essence.
The balancing of interests, then, is not close. The interests of the hypothetical Quiet Study Requestors can be wholly satisfied by other quiet library space with minimal inconvenience to the students and minimal cost to the university. When the alternatives available to satisfy the interests of the Quiet Study Requesters are taken into consideration, the value of the continuation of Orgo Night in its traditional Butler 209 location for the Orgo Night Audience far outweighs the minimal inconvenience to the other group.
Did university administrators engage in a reasoned and careful balancing of these values and costs? It is difficult to know, since the decision was made behind closed doors without any input from the Band or from students. We can only assume that a careful analysis was not conducted, since there appears obvious that kicking the Band out of Butler 209 was neither necessary to solve a real problem nor the correct option given the weight of the competing interests. An intelligent and impartial administrator, without some ulterior motive, could not evaluate these facts and reach a conclusion other than to accommodate the Quiet Study Requestors by providing alternate space and maintaining the status quo for the Orgo Night show. Since it seems that a proper evaluation of the interests never happened, it should be a simple matter for the administration to re-evaluate the issue and reach a different conclusion for the spring semester.

Before respiratory protection products can be lawfully used within an occupational environment anywhere in the United States, they must meet the requirements set by a government agency called the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). NIOSH must certify any respirator or respiratory protective product before it can be used in any workplace: medical, industrial, educational, etc. The regulation that empowers NIOSH to regulate and certify respiratory protective products is 42 CFR Part 84. By that same authority, NIOSH develops numerous standard test methods for evaluating the performance of respiratory PPE. NIOSH tests products to these standards at the government laboratory that it works in concert with, the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL), before doing extensive QA and QC reviews before certifying (or "approving") a product for use.
ICS Laboratories, Inc. is the only third-party independent testing laboratory that has been recognized by NIOSH to provide pre-submittal testing, which is required by NIOSH as part of the approval process. Further, ICS is the only conformity assessment body that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited to perform tests according to NIOSH-developed standard test procedures. ICS' scope of accreditation currently lists more than 75 NIOSH tests methods. Our experienced staff works closely with NIOSH, ensuring that the most appropriate and effective testing is conducted.
Beyond the performance of pre-certification testing to NIOSH procedures, ICS serves its clients throughout the NIOSH approval process, assisting with required documentation, application forms, quality assurance procedures and quality control records.

The Department of Health and Human Services is proposing a rule that would, if implemented, guarantee that even more Americans who like their health insurance plans cannot keep them.
Fixed indemnity plans, which pay insured customers a set amount towards medical expenses and are often cost-effective relative to more comprehensive health insurance, are popular forms of coverage, and potentially becoming more popular in the wake of Obamacare.
Health insurance industry representatives say that fixed indemnity plans have been attracting more interest as many Americans look for a way to mitigate against the high deductibles applicable to many insurance policies available on the Obamacare exchanges (fixed indemnity plans are not Obamacare-compliant, but they are seen by some consumers as pairing nicely with Obamacare-compliant insurance).
But the HHS rule would effectively ban them, overriding regulation that has up until now been the preserve of state governments. The rule would state that these plans can only be sold to consumers where that consumer also purchases Obamacare-compliant insurance.

Shall I talk?
Or will you whisper it?
The dreadful thing we have squeezed between us.
The mixture of seasons, your old and my new.
The smell of spicy tobacco I call aroma.
My kind of freedom you loathe when you can't reach me and I finished all your favourites.
The long nights I spend driving and working.
The late dinners you cook just for one to be heated in the oven 'not the microwave, you infidel!!'
The early Sunday mornings, starting the day with a shower for two, tumble and dry.
You trimming your beard, whistling your favourite pavane.
Me and my Twinings Tea.
You and your enormous shirts, as gigantic as your wardrobe really, and my silk scarves.
The lightbulb in the bathroom mirror you are too lazy to tight properly and irks me to death (note to self: bring needed tools).
Do you know the words for this Ti?
I shan't say them.
I knew crushes and silly affections and stupidity.
I used to know broken dreams, flat promises and often no's.
All the wrong sidestreets of naiveté I walked.
I don't look to you as an older figure – a father figure the most cinical say, they watch so much and they become so blind – I look at you as Ti.
Never old in my eyes, not with that hungry glint you have.
I have no words but I know there's no turnin' back now, not after all this time.
And if there will be an end to this someday it will be worth it, glorious and ours for it won't be a surprise but a choice.
As you said
"Love is a journey best appreciated in the company of two or more. Sunrise to sunset. No time is wasted when it fills the desires in your soul. Be grateful if you have found it."
"To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be." – Anna Louise Strong
Edit 13.43 pm: and my heart breaks at the news…oh we shall never hear your beatific voice again! Oh Montserrat! Sad is the day and darkest is this world! 😭

User requirements analysis
How and why will people use your product? What are the most important features for users? Which functions are most central? How should they be structured?
Know the users - understand their needs...
- Poorly specified user requirements are one of the most significant factors behind IT project failure.
- A successful product or system requires a proper understanding of both user and organisational requirements - we help integrate and balance the two in the specification process.
- Avoid over-reliance on internally generated requirements (what its believed that users want), as opposed to data from end-user requirements studies (what users actually need).
- Usability Partners support development projects, bringing key user data into the design process and analysing user needs, their work practice, and the situations in which they work.
User requirements gathering and analysis
The aim of our user-focused tools and methods is to provide a clear understanding of requirements as an early input to development projects. We help focus design work on those issues that are central to the success of a product or system in the eyes of the end-users.
Usability Partners is experienced with a range of requirements gathering and analysis techniques - we select those most appropriate to a given project situation. Whether end-users are professionals or consumers, located locally or around the globe, there are techniques for gathering their needs.
Typical requirements gathering and analysis methods include:
- Surveys – both open-ended and focused surveys, conducted electronically or on paper.
- Interviews – typically conducted face-to-face, but also over the telephone if deemed more appropriate.
- Focus groups – whilst being poorly suited to evaluating a product, focus groups are useful for discussing possible user requirements and brainstorming ideas.
- Field studies – observing the end-user situation and the environment in which a new product or system will be used is often extremely useful in understanding user needs.
- Evaluation of an existing product – provides a range of useful information (even competitor products can be tested). Usability evaluation reveals and clarifies good and bad aspects of current solutions - valuable input to new design work.
- Task analysis – a deeper analysis of users work with a system, useful for analysing how user's work tasks should be supported by functionality in a system.
- User personas and usage scenarios – concrete and illustrative data about typical users, their characteristics, usage situation, tasks and goals. Particularly useful in supporting early user interface design work.
- Formulation of usability goals and overall design criteria – help focus and steer the design process, supporting the evaluation of early concepts, prototypes and final designs.

Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009 | 1:59 p.m.
New information in the controversial SWAT raid of a Seven Hills home is raising more questions about the manner in which Metro executed the narcotics search warrant that resulted in the resident firing shots at officers.
Viewers tonight will see exclusive video of the home after the raid where the sought-after cocaine was not found and hear from the suspect's girlfriend about what was going on inside as police stormed the house.
Police and the District Attorney have portrayed the suspect, Emmanuel Dozier, as an unemployed drug kingpin and pimp. We've got copies of check stubs that show Dozier was indeed employed as a sheet metal worker. We asked the police about the discrepancy but they refused to comment, nor would they explain why an inventory of items seized does not include the marijuana and paraphenalia police told the media they found. Dozier's girlfriend, Belinda Saavedra, maintains no drugs were in the home and passed two drug tests immediately following the raid. The D.A. is charging Saavedra, who has an infant, with abuse and neglect for not having a job. Prosecutor Ron Cordes told me Saavedra's unemployed status alone would not generate charges, but "the criminal environment" warranted the complaint.
We asked police to tell us the cost of engaging SWAT to arrest, if the accusations are true, what appears to be a small-time dealer. Police refuse to answer but a Metro spokesman did tell me extreme measures are necessary to guard against "some liberal judge" throwing out the case.
