During WWI when patriotic Americans participated in voluntary food rationing, if Mondays were Meatless, what were Wednesdays?

Cooking for your family and your allies | Pieces of History Cooking for your family and your allies Posted on May 4, 2011 by hilaryparkinson A cooking demonstration in Colorado. State and Local Food Administrators, Colorado, General Correspondence, 1917-1919, ARC # 1067513, National Archives at Denver. “What’s Cooking Wednesday” continues with this post from our colleagues at the National Archives at Denver. These Wednesday features celebrate our new exhibit “What’s Cooking, Uncle Sam?” which opens on June 10 in Washington, DC, and looks at the role that the Federal Government has taken in food production, safety, advertising, and nutrition. It’s hard to image Rachel Ray or an Iron Chef looking so solemn during a cooking demonstration, but these ladies were showing an audience how to feed their family on the war front—and still have food for an unknown family on the war front. On the home front during World War I, a forced food rationing program never took place, but a volunteer food conservation system became commonplace. Civilians were advised to give up food commodities that were greatly needed for the war effort. Despite being the largest food producer in the world, the United States of America was ill equipped to shoulder such an overwhelming food and material distribution; vast amounts of food and supplies were required to feed the newly assembled overseas army, our allies, and demoralized European civilians. An abdundance of cooking fats, sugar, wheat, meat, and vegetables was necessary to meet the daily task of feeding so many. In the United States, volunteerism became widespread; citizens saw food conservation as patriotic, referring to it as “Hooverizing” after Herbert Hoover, the United States Food Administrator in 1917. Once organized, families and community groups engaged in “Meatless Mondays” or “Wheat-less Wednesdays” to aid in the war effort. By 1918, at state and county fairs across the nation, civic groups demonstrated the preparation of meals using food conservation-minded techniques. Presenters demonstrated to crowds how they could feed their families and still have some extra items to pass along to the war effort. In this photo, a member of the Woman’s Council of Defense offers a cooking demonstration at the La Plata County Fair, in Durango, Colorado, in 1918. Thank you to our colleagues from the National Archives at Denver, for writing this guest post and supplying the fascinating image from their holdings.

Thinking Thinking: Reasoning, Problem-Solving, Judgment, and Decision-Making Learning, perceiving, and remembering      require more than forming associations between stimuli and      responses, extracting information from environmental stimuli,      and reproducing information stored in memory traces. Rather,      the person is actively attempting to predict and control the      environment by constructing mental representations of objects      and events in the present world, and reconstructing episodes      of past personal experience. Learning is a process of generating and testing        hypotheses, in which the person tries to figure out what        predicts what, and what controls what, in the environment. Perception is a constructive process, in which the        person tries to figure out what is out there, where it is,        what it is doing -- and, ultimately, what it means. Memory is a reconstructive process, by which        the person tries to figure out what happened in the past,        where, when, and to whom -- and, again, what it means. Thus, the basic functions of      perceiving, learning, and remembering depend intimately on      reasoning, inference, problem-solving, judgment, and      decision-making -- in short, on thinking. The term "thinking" covers a variety of      mental activities, from the daydreaming of a high-school      student in study hall to the kind of problem-solving that      brought the astronauts of Apollo 11 safely back to Earth.      McKellar (1957) distinguished between two general kinds of      thinking: Autistic thinking is the sort of thing we do        when we are daydreaming. It's not to be confused with        autism as a mental illness. Everyone engages in autistic        thinking. Imaginative thinking involves the mental        manipulation of symbolic representations that is aimed        toward solving a particular problem or achieving a        particular goal. Just as memory frees behavior from      control by the immediately present stimulus environment, and      thinking performs much the same kind of function. For Piaget,      thinking allows us to create a model of the world in our      minds; for Vygotsky, thinking allows us to restructure that      model mentally to figure out ways that things could be      different -- other than the way they are. Thinking takes a variety of forms,      including reasoning, problem-solving, judgment, and      decision-making. Often, thinking ends up in a choice to engage      in one action or another. Thinking both acts on and creates      mental representations of ourselves and the objects and events      we encounter in the world around us. These mental      representations can be based on perception of the current      environment, or memories of the past, or our imagination.      Bruner (1957) noted that representations come in three basic      forms: Enactive representations are closely tied to        motor activities. Iconic representations come in the form of        visual and other mental images. Symbolic representations exist in the form of        words, and can represent both concrete objects and events        (such as tigers and running) and abstract ideas (such as        freedom and justice). The doctrine of normative       rationality serves as a backdrop for this discussion.      According to this doctrine, human beings are rational      creatures, and rational creatures think according to the rules      of logic and make decisions according to a principle of      rational choice.This is a classical philosopher's view of      human thought, promoted from Aristotle to Descartes and beyond      -- a sort of philosopher's prescription for how people should think. But psychology is an empirical science,      not

What vegetable that is also called a Swedish turnip is avoided by many older Germans as they consider it 'famine food'?

Taboo food and drink | Religion-wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Taboo food and drink Share Swine are considered non-kosher (unfit or unclean) in Judaism and haraam (forbidden) in Islam . Taboo food and drink are food and beverages which people abstain from consuming for religious or cultural reasons. Food taboos can be defined as a codified set of rules about which foods or combinations of foods may not be eaten and how animals are to be slaughtered. The origin of these prohibitions and commandments is varied. In some cases, these taboos are a result of health considerations or other practical reasons. [1] In others, they are a result of human symbolic systems. [2] Some foods may be prohibited during certain festivals (e.g. Lent ), at certain times of life (e.g. pregnancy), or to certain classes of people (e.g. priests ), although the food is in general permissible. Contents [ show ] Causes Various religions forbid the consumption of certain types of food. For example, Judaism prescribes a strict set of rules, called Kashrut , regarding what may and may not be eaten. Islam has similar laws, dividing foods into haram (forbidden) and halal (permitted). Jains often follow religious directives to observe vegetarianism . Hinduism has no specific proscriptions against eating meat, but Hindus who apply the concept of "ahimsa" (non-violence) to their diet practice forms of vegetarianism. Aside from overt rules, there are cultural taboos against the consumption of some animals. One cause is the classification of a food as famine food – the association of a food with famine, and hence association of the food with hardship. Within a given society, some meats will be considered taboo simply because they are outside the range of the generally accepted definition of a foodstuff, not necessarily because the meat is considered repulsive in flavor, aroma, texture or appearance. For example, even though there is no law against eating dog meat in the United States and Europe, it is widely considered unacceptable. (Dog meat is eaten, in certain circumstances, in Korea, Vietnam, and China , although it is nowhere a common dish.) Similarly, horse meat is rarely eaten in the English -speaking world, although it is part of the national cuisine of countries as widespread as Kazakhstan , Japan and France. Sometimes food taboos enter national or local law, as with the ban on cattle abattoirs in most of India , and horse slaughter in the United States. Even after resumption to Chinese rule, Hong Kong has not lifted its ban on supplying meat from dogs and cats, imposed in colonial times. Environmentalism , ethical consumerism and other activist movements are giving rise to new taboos and eating guidelines. A fairly recent addition to cultural food taboos is that of eating the meat or eggs of endangered species or animals that are otherwise protected by law or international treaty. Examples of such protected species include some species of whales, sea turtles, and migratory birds. Similarly, sustainable seafood advisory lists and certification consider certain seafood taboo due to unsustainable fishing. Organic certification prohibits most synthetic chemical inputs during food production, or genetically modified organisms, irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge. The Fair Trade movement and certification discourage the consumption of food and other goods produced in exploitative working conditions. Other progressive movements generating taboos include Local Food and the 100-Mile Diet, both of which encourage abstinence from non-locally produced food, and veganism, in which adherents endeavour not to use or consume animal products of any kind. Taboo food Amphibians and reptiles Judaism and Islam strictly forbid the consumption of amphibians such as frogs and reptiles such as crocodiles and snakes . In other cultures, foods such as frog legs and alligator are treasured as delicacies, and the animals are raised commercially. Bats In Islam "birds of prey" are haram. In Judaism , most of the laws of Kashrut pertain to animals. The Torah explicitly state


Because they spoil at high temperatures, what were once assumed to be safe for eating only in the months with the letter 'r' in their English/French names?

oyster : 占쏙옙占싱뱄옙 占쏙옙慣占� Main article: Pearl oyster Almost all shell-bearing mollusks can secrete pearls, yet most are not very valuable. Pearl oysters are not closely related to true oysters, being members of a distinct family, the feathered oysters ( Pteriidae ). Both cultured pearls and natural pearls can be obtained from pearl oysters, though other molluscs, such as the freshwater mussels , also yield pearls of commercial value. The largest pearl-bearing oyster is the marine Pinctada maxima, which is roughly the size of a dinner plate. Not all individual oysters produce pearls naturally. In fact, in a harvest of three tons of oysters, only three to four oysters produce perfect pearls.[ citation needed ] In nature, pearl oysters produce natural pearls by covering a minute invading parasite with nacre , not by ingesting a grain of sand. [4] Over the years, the irritating object is covered with enough layers of nacre to become a pearl. There are many different types, colours and shapes of pearl; these qualities depend on the natural pigment of the nacre, and the shape of the original irritant. Pearl farmers can culture a pearl by placing a nucleus, usually a piece of polished mussel shell, inside the oyster. In three to six years, the oyster can produce a perfect pearl. These pearls are not as valuable as natural pearls, but look exactly the same. In fact, since the beginning of the 20th century, when several researchers discovered how to produce artificial pearls, the cultured pearl market has far outgrown the natural pearl market. [ edit ] Other types of oyster A number of bivalve molluscs (other than edible oysters and pearl oysters) also have common names that include the word "oyster", usually because they either taste or look like oysters, or because they yield noticeable pearls. Examples include: [ edit ] Anatomy Oysters are filter feeders , drawing water in over their gills through the beating of cilia . Suspended plankton and particles are trapped in the mucus of a gill, and from there are transported to the mouth, where they are eaten, digested and expelled as feces or pseudofaeces . Oysters feed most actively at temperatures above 10 占쏙옙C (50 占쏙옙F). An oyster can filter up to 5 litres (1.3 US gal) of water per hour. Chesapeake Bay 's once flourishing oyster population historically filtered excess nutrients from the estuary's entire water volume every three to four days. Today that would take nearly a year. [5] Excess sediment, nutrients, and algae can result in the eutrophication of a body of water. Oyster filtration can mitigate these pollutants. In addition to their gills, oysters can also exchange gases across their mantle, which is lined with many small, thin-walled blood vessels . A small, three-chambered heart , lying under the adductor muscle , pumps colorless blood to all parts of the body. At the same time, two kidneys , located on the underside of the muscle, remove waste products from the blood. While some oysters have two sexes (European Oyster & Olympia Oyster), their reproductive organs contain both eggs and sperm. Because of this, it is technically possible for an oyster to fertilize its own egg. The gonads surround the digestive organs, and are made up of sex cells, branching tubules and connective tissue. Once the female is fertilized, they discharge millions of eggs into the water. The larvae develop in about six hours and swim around for about two to three weeks. After that, they settle on a bed and mature within a year. [29] [ edit ] Habitat and behaviour Oyster reef at about mid-tide off fishing pier at Hunting Island State Park , South Carolina A group of oysters is commonly called a bed or oyster reef. The largest oyster-producing body of water in the United States is located in Chesapeake Bay , although these beds have decreased in number due to overfishing and pollution. Another large area in the U.S. includes the bays and estuaries along the Coast of the Gulf of Mexico from Apalachicola, Florida on the East to Galveston, Texas on the West. Large beds of edible oysters are also found i


What is the better known 'national' name of the confection called lokum that is a gel of starch and sugar with nuts usually mixed in?

2nd Bilal Kirmaci Abstract An old Turkish aphorism tells one to “eat sweetly and speak sweetly”. Sweets have always been an important component of the Turkish cuisine. The origin of Turkish delight (lokum) dates back to the time of the Ottoman. The beginning of the production of lokum is estimated to be in the 14th and 15th centuries, and its production had reached today’s form in the 19th century. In the earlier production of lokum, honey and pekmez were used as sweeteners instead of sugar, and flour was used to hold water and give texture instead of starch. From the end of the 18th century, sugar was being used. Afterwards when floor was replaced by starch, lokum became famous. Lokum is produced by mixing sugar, corn starch and water in certain fractions, and by adding fruits or nuts to the mixture. This mixture is heated for a certain time at a certain temperature in an open vessel or steam jacketed tank with an agitator. Heating time is changed from 1 to 2h according to the vessel’s type. Hot lokum fluid is dripped onto a wooden table or steel tray, which has some starch on it, with lower edges, and after sprinkling some starch lokum is cut into small pieces. Powdered sugar is added on these lokum pieces and they are stored and sold. In the 19th century, lokum was brought to England by a English tourist, then it was called “Turkish delight” in Europe, “Lokoum” in France and Balkans, and lokumania in Greece and in Cyprus, and then lokoum took their place in the international candy literature. Discover the world's research Sugar abstract An old Turkish aphorism tells one to ‘‘eat sweetly and speak sweetly”. Sweets have always been an impor- tant component of the Turkish cuisine. The origin of Turkish delight (lokum) dates back to the time of the Ottoman. The beginning of the production of lokum is estimated to be in the 14th and 15th centuries, and its production had reached today’s form in the 19th century. In the earlier production of lokum, honey and pekmez were used as sweeteners instead of sugar, and ﬂour was used to hold water and give texture instead of starch. From the end of the 18th century, sugar was being used. Afterwards when ﬂoor was replaced by starch, lokum became famous. Lokum is produced by mixing sugar, corn starch and water in certain fractions, and by adding fruits or nuts to the mixture. This mixture is heated for a certain time at a certain temperature in an open vessel or steam jacketed tank with an agitator. Heating time is chan- ged from 1 to 2 h according to the vessel’s type. Hot lokum ﬂuid is dripped onto a wooden table or steel tray, which has some starch on it, with lower edges, and after sprinkling some starch lokum is cut into small pieces. Powdered sugar is added on these lokum pieces and they are stored and sold. In the 19th century, lokum was brought to England by a English tourist, then it was called ‘‘Turkish delight” in Eur- ope, ‘‘Lokoum” in France and Balkans, and lokumania in Greece and in Cyprus, and then lokoum took their place in the international candy literature.

Dye Diet | Eat food, not food additives By Pat Hagan , August 6, 2013 Eating raw garlic just twice a week can almost halve the risk of lung cancer, new research shows. A study carried out in China found adults regularly consuming raw garlic as part of their diet were 44 per cent less likely to suffer the disease. Even when researchers allowed for whether people smoked – the biggest single cause of lung cancer – they found garlic still seemed to reduce the dangers by around 30 per cent. Around 40,000 people a year are diagnosed with lung cancer in England and Wales alone. Smoking is thought to cause at least 80 per cent of cases and fewer than one in ten sufferers are still alive five years after their diagnosis. Previous studies have suggested garlic can protect the lungs against various conditions, as well as ward off other malignancies such as bowel cancer. – Mail Online Failure to Protect Children and Families From Hazardous Pesticide Drift July 24, 2013 San Francisco, CA – Today, a coalition of farmworker, public health, and conservation advocates filed a challenge in the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to force the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect children from unsafe exposures to toxic pesticides. The suit seeks an answer to a petition that the advocates filed with the agency in 2009 , urging EPA to set safety standards protecting children who grow up near farms from the harmful effects of pesticide drift. “It is not acceptable that our own government has so little regard for the health of our children,” said Janette Brimmer, an Earthjustice attorney representing the coalition “The government hasn’t even bothered to prepare a response to our requests.” “As a mother, I’m appalled the EPA is failing to protect our children from dangerous pesticides,” said Bonnie Wirtz, a Minnesota mother who endured negative health effects when the pesticide chlorpyrifos drifted into her home as it was sprayed on a nearby alfalfa field. Chlorpyrifos has been implicated in long-term health problems, including learning disabilities and other nervous system harms. – EARTHJUSTICE Were 98 million Americans injected with vaccines containing cancer virus? By Lance Johnson; July 30, 2013 The Centers for Disease Control recently published valuable information about polio vaccines on their site, but afterwards retracted the information. Why has that information been taken down? Regardless, a Google snapshot of this information as it appeared on July 11, 2013 is cached here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com The saved CDC information comes right out and admits that more than 98 million Americans during a span of eight years were injected with a cancer-causing polyomavirus called SV40. This fact alone should serve as a testament to anyone: always question medical professionals who say that you or your child needs a certain vaccine or prescription. So much “medicine” today is actually poison. Professionals are often duped into believing in the safety of a vaccine or prescription, when all along it may be laced with cancer-causing, health ravaging virus, heavy metals, fungus, formaldehyde, or neurotoxins. NaturalNews The Health Risks of Genetically Modified Corn By Caitlin Shetterly, July 24, 2013 With symptoms including headaches, nausea, rashes, and fatigue, Caitlin Shetterly visited doctor after doctor searching for a cure for what ailed her. What she found, after years of misery and bafflement, was as unlikely as it was utterly common… During that time, when I wasn’t working as a writer and theater director or being a wife and mother, I visited doctors and had tests. I told few friends or members of my extended family how ill I was, because I didn’t have any way to explain what was wrong. I had no diagnosis, just a collection of weird symptoms: tight, achy pain that radiated through my body and caused me to hobble around (my ankles, I’d joke to my husband, Dan, felt like they’d been “Kathy Batesed,” à la the movie Misery); burning rashes that splashed across my cheeks and around my mouth like pizza sauce; exhaustion; he


Which hazelnut liqueur comes in a bottle with a knotted white cord around its waist that is meant to mimic the religious garments of a friar?

Frangelico 750ml : Buy Wine, Beer & Spirits Online, Luekensliquors.com Frangelico 750ml Description Frangelico is a hazelnut and herb-flavored liqueur (coloured with caramel coloring) which is produced in Canale, Italy. It is 24% alcohol by volume, 48 proof. It was released in the 1980s, gaining attention largely because of its unusual packaging: its bottle was designed to look like a friar, complete with a real knotted white cord around the waist. Frangelico can be used to make many different cocktails, such as the Hazelnut Martini, the Frangelico Colada, and Frangelico and Cranberry Juice. It can also combined with vodka to make the Chocolate Cake shot. For a quick and easy drink, it can be served on ice, with soda water, or with coffee. The origins of Frangelico date back more than 300 years to the existence of early Christian monks living in the hills of Northern Italy. According to Barbero, the manufacturer in Italy, the name of the liqueur is based on a legend of a hermit named Fra. Angelico who "created unique recipes for liqueurs." However, the bottle itself most closely resembles the habit of a Franciscan friar, while the liqueur's likely namesake, the famous painter Fra Angelico (d.1455), was a Dominican, whose robe would have been white and without the cincture. Frangelico is made in a similar manner to some other nut liqueurs: nuts are crumbled up and combined with cocoa, vanilla berries, and other natural flavors, and then left to soak in the base spirit. After the spirit has absorbed the flavor of the ingredients, the liqueur is filtered, sweetened, and bottled. Customers who bought this product also purchased... ‹ ›

Replacing Salt With Umami Case History: Tubular Cable Conveyors Move Coffee Beans Gently, Efficiently 3,000 lbs. of coffee beans must be conveyed daily through the processes at Porto Rico Importing. "Coffee to go" at Porto Rico Importing Co. means shipping 3,000 lbs. of coffee per day to its four retail stores, mail order customers and wholesale accounts. Porto Rico has been doing business in New York since 1907. The company roasts, blends, grinds and packages beans in its new Brooklyn roasting facility. Operations include roasting up to 150 lbs. of beans at a time, generating dozens of blends for wholesale and retail purchasers, grinding and degassing some coffee and loading products into 25- and 50-lb. burlap sacks for shipping. Porto Rico receives green beans in bulk bags that are unloaded from a discharge station and hopper. The beans are manually weighed and transferred in batches up to 150 lbs. by a pneumatic conveyor into a… Scheduled Downtime: Aseptic Trailblazer Reflects on Achievements in Food Engineering Academia once was walled off from commercial enterprise. Ken Swartzel spent 40 years building bridges, and he isn’t done yet. In the community of aseptic food technologists, Ken Swartzel is the lion in winter. In lieu of riches, academic researchers usually have to settle for accolades, and the food engineer from North Carolina State University has received quite a few, including by his own count four industrial achievement awards from the Institute of Food Technologists. The recognition that flatters him most came this year, when Swartzel was named a fellow of the National Academy of Engineering, a group that counts Albert Einstein among previous honorees. Swartzel concluded a 40-year tenure on the NC State faculty last year but hasn’t called it quits just yet. “I’m one of those that failed at retirement,” he confesses. “I cleaned out the attic, did… Bakery Trends Go Back to Basics Whether in finished products or in use-at-home mixes, 'natural' is moving the baked goods category. A stabilizing economy has cooled the baking and dessert mix category as consumers are no longer baking at home. Instead, they’re opting for more healthy and convenient prepared options at grocery stores and restaurants – which is great news for producers of baked goods. Nevertheless, Mintel Group sees continued growth in baking and dessert mix sales through 2018. In fact, Mintel reports in its "Baking and Dessert Mixes U.S." research that close to half the people that use baking and dessert mixes do so to save time, while less than half use mixes because they simply taste good. As for how mixes fit into the healthy eating trend, Mintel says “providing products that keep pace with general consumer health interests and developing… Brookfield Ametek Offering Practical Course on Viscosity Measurements The course is offered at Brookfield Ametek's headquarters in Middleboro, Mass. and at major cities across the United States.

In early 2014, Prof. Maryam Mirzakhani achieved a unique and highly meritorious distinction. What subject does she teach at Stanford University?

COE in the News | FSU EdNews COE in the News FSU Program Inducted Into Florida Division Of Blind Services Awards Program During a recent ceremony celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Florida Division of Blind Services, Director Robert Doyle inducted the FSU College of Education’s Visual Disabilities program into its “Successful 75.” “As the only Visual Disabilities program in the Southeast, FSU offers one of the most respected and longest standing programs with an elite nationally recognized faculty, who have blindness experience in all majors,” he said. “The overall mission and curriculum instruction of the Visual Disabilities program is to prepare highly qualified individuals, again who have a personal and professional commitment to advancing the lives of individuals who are blind and impaired.”    Nan McMillan is the President of the Student chapter of the Florida Association of Education and Rehabilitation for the Blind and Visually Impaired. She’s also a student of FSU’s Visual Disabilities program. “In our program, our professor prepare students to work with all types of people who have visual impairments as teachers and as orientation mobility specialist,” she said. “There is a critical shortage for these professionals not just in Florida, but all across our nation.” Meanwhile, Lighthouse of the Big Bend and Tallahassee Community College were also inducted into the Division of Blind Services’ “Successful 75” awards program—recognizing individuals, organizations, and businesses for their continued contributions to the blind and visually impaired community. via Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Postsecondary Success Notes  on September 15, 2016 Developmental Education Impact A recent report from the Center for Postsecondary Success found that Florida’s developmental education reform is having both positive and negative effects on student outcomes. The report assesses the effects of Florida’s 2013 law, which allows some high school graduates to avoid college placement exams and opt out of remedial education courses. __________________________________________________________________ Tallahassee woman’s Lincoln Memorial performance goes viral Star Swain It’s not exactly Marian Anderson singing in front of the Lincoln Memorial. But Star Swain‘s rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at the national landmark was the sort of life-changing performance few who’ve heard it will soon forget. Swain, a former Florida A&M Marching 100 trombonist and vocalist, has been thrust into the digital national spotlight after an impromptu a cappella rendition of the National Anthem has gone viral, being viewed by millions on Facebook and other social media. Swain, 34, said she and her family were in Washington, D.C., on vacation two weeks ago with Marcus Henderson, minister of music at her church, and his family, along with Godby High assistant principal Benny Bolden and his family. They were inside the Lincoln Memorial, when Henderson started talking about the superior acoustics inside the landmark. “I said, ‘I could break out and start singing the Star Spangled Banner,’“ Swain recalled Monday. That was enough to get Henderson and Bolden to start urging her on. At first, Swain said she was too nervous. When she started singing in front of other tourists, she didn’t realize Henderson had started videotaping. Unlike Anderson’s historic 1939 concert performance, Swain’s was apolitical and impromptu. “I was in that moment. I just closed my eyes and started singing,” she said, her voice still giddy with excitement. “Marcus was videotaping the whole time.” She couldn’t believe the response of the tourists who heard her sing. “People just started saying ‘that was awesome, thank you,’“ she said. “One lady had tears in her eyes. I was kind of glad it was over. It was like a sigh of relief.” That was only the beginning. Later that day, the video was posted on YouTube. A few people saw it, but nothing spectacular. It wasn’t until the following Monday that the world began to take notice. “Someone put it up on their Facebook page and the rest is hist

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) Westerners are not only known as history ignoramuses, but double dumbass history ignoramuses when it comes to New Age Movement history.  Since I'm the one-and-only Historyscoper (tm), let me quickly bring you up to speed before you dive into my Master Historyscope. The New Age Movement has been gaining lots of steam in the West since the 1960s, spreading the concepts of New Thought , incl. that God or Infinite Intelligence is everywhere, we're really immortal spirit beings, sickness is all in the mind, miracles can be made to happen, etc., white hair helps sell books. The Law of Attraction ("like attracts like") is usually prominently featured. Despite their attraction, New Agers are anything but monolithic, and may be into Astrology , Auras , Black and White Magic , Chakras , Chi Energy , Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) , Crystals , Druidism , Eastern Mysticism , Esotericism , Extraterrestrials and UFOs , Firewalking , Gaia , Gnosticism , Hare Krishna , Hermeticism , Hinduism , the Human Potential Movement , Idealism , Mind Science , Native American Spirituality , Near-Death Experiences , Nirvana , Parapsychology , Psychics , Reincarnation , Shamanism , Spiritism , Tai Chi , Taoism , Tarot , Theosophy , Trance-Channeling (Mediumship) , Transcendental Meditation , Transpersonal Psychology , UFO Religions , Wicca (Witchcraft) , Wisdom Tradition , Yin-Yang , Yoga , and Zen Buddhism . The movement takes its name from the 1804-10 poem Milton by English Romantic poet-artist William Blake (1757-1827) : "... when the New Age is at leisure to pronounce, all will be set right." Blake is also known for the poem Auguries of Innocence , which starts: "To see a world in a grain of sand,/ And a heaven in a wild flower,/ Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,/ And eternity in an hour." and ends: "God appears, and God is light,/ "To those poor souls who dwell in night;/ "But does a human form display/ "To those who dwell in realms of day." The movement often denies the existence of reality and time, but at the same time seems to be grounded on belief in the arrival or coming of the Age of Aquarius . The astronomical signs are Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces (A tall girl can leap very long since she carries a pussycat :) The astrological ages are each 2,150 years long (the Earth's 25,800-year gyroscopic precession period divided by 12), and proceed backwards, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, etc. Too bad, the exact year when the Age of Aquarius begins is disputed, with some of course claiming a date in the 1960s, esp. after the 1967 debut of the rock musical Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical , with its opening song Aquarius ("When the Moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then Peace will guide the Planets, and Love will steer the Stars. This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius... Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding; no more falsehoods or derision - golden living, dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelation, and the mind's true liberation.  Aquarius..."); most place the Great Attunement sometime in the 20th cent., some on Dec. 12, 2012, making 2013 the Year of Prosperity . Duh, the next age will be the Age of Capricorn, meaning people will start butting heads? TLW is a Capricorn :) Too bad, some astrologers think that the Age of Aquarius is actually the Age of Capricorn because the Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth has caused a 1 mo. shift in the Zodiac.

Travis Tygart was chiefly instrumental in leading the expose of whom, now a fallen hero, in 2012?

The 50 Most Influential People In Running - By Runner's World Winner of six Olympic golds; owns 100- and 200-meter world records influence: The “world’s fastest man” is not just the most recognizable runner on the planet, but one of the most iconic athletes in any sport. Bolt has pushed the limits of human speed while transcending the doping skepticism that plagues his sport. What has made Bolt such a crossover sensation—he’s the only runner on the 2015 Forbes 100 highest paid athletes list, reeling in $21 million last year—is his larger-than-life personality signified by his trademark “To Di World” pose. Well, that plus his genius marketing awareness: lucrative deals with Puma, Soul Electronics, and others ensure that even when he slows down on the track, the Bolt brand will live on. keith larby/demotox/corbis 2012 Olympic 5K and 10K gold medalist; winner of five worlds golds and one silver influence: He’s already an all-time great on the track and has plenty of competition left in him. Farah, who has recently been dragged into the doping scandal encircling his Nike Oregon Project coach, Alberto Salazar, has brought charisma to a sport that is often lacking in it—he’s gone after the 100-meter sack race world record, and has a signature move, the “Mobot,” that is somehow both derivative of Usain Bolt’s more famous pose and still utterly endearing. Put simply: The running world loves Mo Farah, and he loves it back. He’s inherited the space once filled by Haile Gebrselassie, and like that Ethiopian legend who set the marathon world record after a stellar track career, Farah’s foray into road racing has fans worldwide holding their breath. chris hinkle Olympic bronze medalist; U.S. 10K record holder; second-fastest American woman marathoner influence: Flanagan has won the hearts of running fans not for her race accomplishments—which are numerous—but for her unbridled, never-say-die spirit. Her gutsy effort in her hometown Boston Marathon the year after the bombings, when she led for 19 miles and set a PR but ultimately finished seventh, was a fitting counterpart to Meb Keflezighi’s stunning win in the men’s race. She’s drawn from that inner fire to be very vocal about doping in the sport, too. Pair that zeal with the backing of superbrand Nike and a strong social media presence, and it’s not too much of a stretch to say that, even after fading to ninth in Boston this year, Flanagan is the face of elite distance running in America right now. Aaron Wojack Two-time U.S. 5K champion; cofounder of Picky Bars; writer influence: Few elite runners have managed the awkward late stages of their pro career more effectively than Fleshman, who has a sponsorship with upstart women’s apparel brand Oiselle, her own energy bar company, a strong social media presence (it won her a 2015 Shorty Award—think “Oscars for social media”), and no problem poking the bears of the running world, particularly USA Track & Field. Fleshman, who also has written a Runner’s World column, is everywhere, even when not running. “She has reached a visibility that extends far beyond her achievements as a runner,” says writer David Epstein. “Her style,” adds journalist Dick Patrick, “is personal and revealing, drawing fans, especially women, to the sport.” peter yang Obstacle course racing superstar influence: “You cannot have a conversation about OCR [obstacle course racing] that doesn’t start and end with Amelia,” says Matt Davis, cofounder of Obstacle Racing Media. OCR is the acronym that Tough Mudders/Spartan Racers/Warrior Dashers and the like use to describe the still-evolving space of endurance sport that they occupy. Boone, a corporate lawyer, has emerged as a bona fide OCR superstar, winning the 2013 Spartan Race World Championship as well as the 2012 and 2014 World’s Toughest Mudder titles. She has succeeded at everything from sprint-style obstacle races to 24-hour slogs, exploits that have earned her a deal with Spartan Race title sponsor Reebok. All this from a person who discovered OCR by accident, and isn’t fully comfortable describing herself as a p

A group of people in Cairo, Egypt who are collectively called the Zabbaleen are known for their association with what material?

Cairo: Finding its own way in waste collection - Danish Architecture Centre The city of Bristol in southwest England has an innovative approach to sustainable urban development and citizen involvement, for example via social media and interactive websites. That meant that on 14 June 2013 the city beat Brussels, Glasgow and Ljubljana in contention for the title of European Green Capital 2015. Cairo: Finding its own way in waste collection For decades, much of Cairo’s waste has been resourcefully collected and reused by a poor working class known as the Zabbaleen. After a failed attempt to modernise and sanitize this system by bringing in foreign waste-collecting companies, some major advantages to developing a sustainable, economically logical and uniquely Cairo waste-collecting system have become clear. Skraldebyen Ezbet El Nakhl, Af Creap, 9. maj 2005, Flickr, Creative Commons, Foto # 13067241 Since the 1950's, a group of lower class garbage collectors known as the Zabbaleen have wandered the city of Cairo, Egypt, using donkey carts to pick up waste left on the streets. After bringing this waste to their homes that collectively make up Cairo's "garbage city" the waste it is sorted and eventually turned into quilts, rugs, pots, paper, livestock food, compost, recycled plastic products such as clothes hangers, and much more. Reusing and recycling about 85% of all waste that they collect, the Zabbaleen have far surpassed the efficiencies of even the best Western recycling schemes, which, under optimal conditions, have only been able to reuse 70% of all material. However, in 2003, the Egyptian government announced plans to "modernise" the waste collection system, bringing in three European Companies. Their reasoning was that the Zabbaleen, combined with the government's present waste management system, were only able to collect about 60% of all city waste (40% collected by Zabbaleen and 20% by the government). In addition to being unable to meet the growing waste collection demand, the existing system was also detested for its aesthetic problems in wealthy and tourist-visited areas that were losing commercial opportunities to donkey carts and smells of rotting dung. Finally, the government argued that the Zabbaleen practises were backward and unsanitary, pointing to the abundance of disease and hepatitis in their communities resulting from hand-sorting rubbish with sharp metal, broken glass, and hospital waste such as syringes. While all of these arguments were mostly true, the new "modernised" waste collection system still managed to collapse after its first year of operation. It seems the primary reason for this was a failure to compete with or hire the Zabbaleen as collectors, offering them a maximum of only $1 USD a day; a wage which could easily be doubled using the existing donkey cart, sorting and selling system. Also, since it is almost impossible to recycle garbage after it is compressed by a western collection truck, the European companies were only able to recycle about 20% of all waste. In this sense, the profit they were generating from their government salary and sale of recyclables was far surpassed by that which the Zabbaleen were obtaining by simply selling and re-selling products made from many different kinds of waste. Now, with streets again filled with rubbish and a government that is $50 million USD poorer, Cairo seems to be realising that a new waste collection system must include the Zabbaleen and must have a percentage of recycled waste closer to that which the Zabbaleen achieve. Ultimately, it seems that the answer lies not in the adoption of a foreign system but in the pioneering of a novel solution that is sustainable, economically logical, and unique to Cairo. Recent proposals suggest the use of government-funded collection vehicles that do not compact waste and are operated by presently unemployed citizens. These vehicles collect garbage from citizens who have sorted their rubbish into organic and inorganic categories. Inorganic waste is brought to sorting facilities where the Zabbaleen can man

Text Only--Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms: A National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary   Dayton Aviation     Heritage National Historical Park Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park commemorates the work     of Orville and Wilbur Wright in the Dayton, Ohio, area where the brothers     lived and worked. Historic sites at the park include the building which     housed the Wright Cycle Company and Wright and Wright Printing; Huffman     Prairie Flying Field; and the 1905 biplane, Wright Flyer III. Although     the test flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina , represented     a major breakthrough in humanity's conquest of the air, the Wright's attempts     to conquer the air began when they were children in Dayton with the parental     encouragement they were given to experiment and investigate whatever aroused     their curiosity. By the fall of 1896, the Wright brothers began tackling the problems     of mechanical human flight. By July 1899, they had discovered the fundamental     aeronautical principle of lateral control, among the Wright brothers'     greatest achievements. The Wrights realized from the beginning that a     key problem of human flight was how to control the machine in the air.     Previous aviation experiments had determined how to control a craft in     pitch (vertical control) and yaw (horizontal control), but no one before     the Wrights had yet discovered or developed a principle of roll (lateral     control). However, after more than two years of watching buzzards gliding     over a hill in Dayton, the Wrights realized that by twisting the wings     so that on one side a greater angle was made to the wind, and on the other     side there was simultaneously less of an angle, an airplane could be rolled     to one side or the other. The Wrights set out to test this theory and in August 1899 they built     their first aircraft, a bi-plane kite, and test flew it in a vacant lot     in west Dayton. The wing-warping worked; the kite was controllable, and     the Wrights went on in 1900 to build their first man-carrying glider.     They made a dozen successful flights in Kitty Hawk and conducted an intensive aerodynamic program in their bicycle shop in     the fall of 1901 which perfected a newer glider, and later, in the same     shop, with the help of their mechanic, Charlie Taylor, they designed and     built an engine for an airplane, which met with success on December 17,     1903, in Kitty Hawk. Wright Cycle Company and Wright and Wright Printing: In this brick     building, a National     Historic Landmark , Wilbur and Orville Wright manufactured bicycles     on the first floor and operated a printing press on the second floor from     1895 to 1897. The two years they spent working with sprockets, spokes,     chain drives, tires, metals and machines were of inestimable value in     preparing the brothers for their subsequent success with gliders and flying     machines. In addition, the profits they made from their businesses helped     finance their later aviation experiments. It was while the Wrights occupied     the building at 22 South Williams Street that they became seriously and     actively interested in solving the problems of heavier-than-air powered     flight. The printing business on the second floor required access to national     news wires, which carried word of Otto Lilienthal's death to the shop     in 1896. Lilienthal, the famous German aviation pioneer known as the father     of gliding and credited as the first man in the world to launch himself     into the air and fly, died from injuries received in a glider accident     and his death catalyzed the brothers' interest in developing a safe and     practical flying machine. The shop, integral to the development of the     airplane, has been restored and opened


The legendary Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul, also the site where an all-time great mystery novel was conceived, was built in 1892 for passengers who arrived in the city by what specific transport?

Istanbul/Turkey by Simone Girner - issuu issuu Turkey Travels I visited Turkey for the first time when I was fourteen years old, and I still remember how seeing the ruins of Ephesus brought history alive. Walking on the ancient roadways into centuries-old houses, where the baths and toilets still stood as they had in the time of Socrates, just floored me. My sisters and I prowled the Grand Bazaar, where we haggled with shopkeepers over the prices of leather jackets. We bargained hard. They insisted on serving us Turkish coffee, and we parted with smiles, each thinking that we had gotten the best of the other. The smells of the Spice Market, the sounds of the muezzin’s call to prayer, the sight of women in head scarves and robes ushered us into an exotic land. Even as a teenager, I knew that I would never forget the beauty of the minarets rising on either side of the Bosphorus, which sliced the city into Europe and Asia. I have been fortunate to return to Turkey a number of times since that first visit. And while Istanbul has been transformed into one of the world’s most exciting cities—thrumming with 2 new businesses and modern, hip restaurants—it retains its unique essence. It has the trappings of other Western cities, such as first-class hotels, luxury boutiques and stylish residents, but it resembles nowhere else and celebrates its Ottoman past and traditions with passion. This inspiring dichotomy is one of the reasons we decided to host an Indagare Insider Trip to Turkey, and why we are dedicating this issue of our Black Book magazine to featuring the country’s treasures. From the Aegean seaside resort of Bodrum to the haunting landscapes of Cappadocia, the articles celebrate authentic experiences and give insider tips and recommendations. The spotlight is on Istanbul, a city that is as modern as it is Turkish. You can feel the energy in its streets as it rubs right up against ancient history.

The 24 MacArthur Fellows also includes a photographer, choreographer, chemist and atomic physicist, among others. The fellows each receive a $625,000 stipend that they are free to spend as they choose. Murphy, who found out she was receiving the fellowship about a week ago, said her treatment methods are innovative in that they are constantly refined to fit the evolving needs of individuals, rather than following a static treatment model. “We’re constantly trying to reindividualize, re-personalize, to the person,” Murphy said. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, an independent foundation that supports development of knowledge to improve public policy and the public’s access to information, awards the fellowships annually. The MacArthur Fellowship is awarded to individuals who “have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction,” according to the award’s website. The fellowship is not awarded for past achievements, but rather an investment in the potential of the recipients. Murphy compared her personalized treatment methods to the See PROFESSOR, Page 6A University President Mary Sue Coleman addresses the crowd at a cereomny at East Quad Wednesday.

(Adam Glanzman/Daily) East Quad update lauded Coleman, Harper speak at grand re-opening of dorm By AARON GUGGENHEIM Daily Staff Reporter North Quad Residential Hall now has competition on Central Campus. Nearly one month after East Quad Residence Hall reopened following an exhaustive $116-million renovation started in May 2012, a crowd of students, administrators and Residence Hall staff gathered at the refurbished building Wednesday to celebrate its completion. The event was held throughout East Quad: A band played near the café where snacks were served, an a cappella group sang in Green Lounge, and top administrators, including University President Mary Sue Coleman, spoke outside in the courtyard. The project — part of the immense Residential Life initiative that has seen the renovation of many residence halls on campus — overhauled almost all aspects of the building and simplified the layout. 2012’s reopening of Alice Lloyd Residence Hall, the renovation of Mosher-Jordan Residence Hall, completed in 2008, Stockwell in 2009 and the more limited, current renovation of South Quad Residence Hall have been part of the same ini- tiative. West Quad Residence Hall’s renovation, set to begin in May 2014, will be the last phase of the project. E. Royster Harper, the University’s vice president of student affairs, said despite the changes, which included the conversion of the Halfway Inn performance space into a kitchen, the building retains the same cultural aesthetic. “I think for students who know the old East Quad, there See QUAD, Page 6A ADMINISTRATION Coleman hopes to connect with alumni in India Greek life engages in contest to reduce waste November trip timed several days after start of new capital campaign Chapters compete to recycle the most materials By CHRISTY SONG PAUL SHERMAN/Daily Daily Staff Reporter Students use new computers and furniture at the renovated Fishbowl Wednesday.

"What organization that operates with the slogan ""The Opinion and The Other Opinion"" started in 1996 with a loan of 500 million Qatari riyals?"

Al Jazeera : definition of Al Jazeera and synonyms of Al Jazeera (English) Al Jazeera ( Arabic : الجزيرة al-ǧazīrah IPA:  [æl dʒæˈziːrɐ] , literally "The Island", abbreviating " The [Arabian] Peninsula "; also Aljazeera or JSC [Jazeera Satellite Channel]) is an independent [3] [4] broadcaster owned by the state of Qatar through the Qatar Media Corporation and headquartered in Doha , Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the Internet and specialty TV channels in multiple languages. Al Jazeera is accessible in several world regions. The original Al Jazeera channel's willingness to broadcast dissenting views, for example on call-in shows, created controversies in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf . The station gained worldwide attention following the September 11, 2001 attacks , when it was the only channel to cover the war in Afghanistan live from its office there. [5] In the 2000s, the network was praised by the Index on Censorship for circumventing censorship and contributing to the free exchange of information in the Arab world, and by the Webby Awards , who nominated it as one of the five best news web sites, along with BBC News , National Geographic and The Smoking Gun . It was also voted by brandchannel.com readers as the fifth most influential global brand behind Apple , Google , Ikea and Starbucks . In 2011 Salon.com noted Al Jazeera's coverage of the 2011 Egyptian protests as superior to that of the American news media, while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton also opined that that network's news coverage was more informative, and less opinion-driven than American journalism. Contents 14 External links   Etymology In Arabic , al-ǧazīrah literally means "the island". However, it refers here[ citation needed ] to the "(Arabian) peninsula" which is شبه الجزيرة العربية šibh al-ğazīrah al-ʿarabiyyah, Arabian Peninsula , abbreviated الجزيرة العربية al-ğazīrah al-ʿarabiyyah, literally means Shadow of island" or " like/similar to island"   History   Launch Al Jazeera Satellite Channel was launched on 1 November 1996 following the closure of the BBC's Arabic language television station, a joint venture with Orbit Communications Company , owned by Saudi King Fahd 's cousin, Khalid bin Faisal Al Saud . It had fallen apart after a year and a half when the Saudi government attempted to kill a documentary on executions under sharia law. [6] The Emir of Qatar , Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa , provided a loan of QAR 500 million ($137 million) to sustain Al Jazeera through its first five years, as Hugh Miles detailed in his book Al Jazeera The Inside Story of the Arab News Channel That Is Challenging the West. Shares were held by private investors as well as the Qatar government. Prior to Al Jazeera, even before he deposed his father the previous year, the Emir had been contemplating a satellite channel. A free press complemented his vision of the emirate as a center of commercial development and progress. Sheikh Hamad bin Thamir Al Thani , previously Qatar's Deputy Minister of Information, was chairman of the enterprise, although Al Jazeera maintained editorial independence . It was hoped the channel would break even in five years through sales of advertising, news feeds and programs, as well as equipment rental. Much of the staff came from the 250 journalists displaced by the closure of BBC Arabic . Al Jazeera's first day on the air was 1 November 1996. It offered 6-hours of programming per day; this would increase to 12-hours by the end of 1997. It was broadcast to the immediate neighborhood as a terrestrial signal, on cable, as well as through satellites (which was also free to users in the Arab world). Ironically Qatar , like many other Arab countries, barred private individuals from having satellite dishes until 2001. At the time of Al Jazeera's launch, Arabsat was the only satellite broadcasting to the Middle East , and for the first year could only offer Al Jazeera a weak Ku-band transponde

Labour Party politician Aneurin Bevan is known for his role in establishing what seminal institution in Great Britain?

The start of the NHS Many people come to this site for a short account of the health service The history of the NHS is that of an organisation established after a century's discussion on the provision of health services to meet a long recognised need.  It appeared at a time when Britain saw health care as crucial to one of the "five giants" that Beveridge declared should be slain during post-war reconstruction. (want, disease, squalor, ignorance, idleness) The cataclysm of war provided an opportunity that might not have been taken in quieter times. The NHS was noble in conception and has been faced on the one side with ever increasing costs as a result of advances in medical knowledge, medicines and technology, and on the other with the financial restrictions inevitable in a centrally funded service with changing management dogmas and political beliefs.  Whether knowing what we know now Britain would follow the same pathway towards a universal health care system is anyone's guess. Below you will find a quick and simplified  over-view.  You may find the link to the inheritance of the NHS is useful for this provides the text of the book's introductory chapter.  The links to 1948-1957 , 1958-1967 , 1968-1977 , 1978-1987 , 1988-1997 , 1998-2007 , 2008-2117 provide the text of the book and more recent decades. Two links give financial information over the years, earlier and later periods . More information on the factors that led to the creation of the NHS is to be found in Geoffrey Rivett's earlier book on the Development of the London Hospital System, This short account of the chronological time line, for simplicity’s sake, is mainly about England , though more detailed texts are available on this site and in hard copy  [1]   The Nuffield Trust has produced a historical timeline (to which I contributed). How we came to have a health service. Others have written extensively on the reasons for a health service.  These included The emergence of a view that health care was a right, not something bestowed erratically by charity Bipartisan agreement that the existing services were in a mess and had to be sorted out Financial difficulties for the voluntary hospitals The second world war that ensured the creation of an emergency medical service as part of the war effort The cataclysmic effects of the war that made it possible to have a massive change of system, rather than incremental modification An increasing view among the younger members of the medical profession that there was a better way of doing things The genesis of the NHS stretched back into the 19th Century.  Even then some believed that access to health care was part of the structure of a civilized society.  Some municipalities, such as the London County Council, had the ambition to run hospitals as well as utilities.   Hospital charities had been supported by the benevolent while socialists such as the Webbs argued for a state system or the insurance principle - pay in advance when well to provide for the care needed when sick. In the First World War the army medical services had shown the benefits of organisation and transport.  At the government's request in 1920 Lord Dawson produced a forward thinking report on how a health service might be organised. [2]  Under the Local Government Act (1929)  local authorities had taken over poor law hospitals that now became municipal hospitals serving ratepayers, not paupers.. They needed much upgrading.  In general the services that existed were in a mess.  The quality varied widely from town to town, and country areas were in general poorly served.  The London County Council and Middlesex were doing an excellent job - but many councils did not.  There might be duplication or an almost total absence of specialist services. During the 1930s a series of reports were produced by the BMA [3]  (1930), think tanks such as Political and Economic Planning (1937) [4] and the Hospitals Association.  The King's Fund and the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust as protectors of hospitals were also deeply involved for they appreciated that

"The words burcad badeed mean ""ocean robber"" in what African language?"

Pirates & Privateers: the History of Maritime Piracy - A    Pirate Lexicon The History of Maritime Piracy Cindy Vallar, Editor & Reviewer A Pirate        Lexicon By       Cindy Vallar I confess. My fascination with words is a        relatively        recent development,        at least when compared to the number of years since my birth. Teachers        taught        me to use a dictionary. My grandmother gave me one before        I left for        college.        But the only time I usually looked up a word was when I        had to or I        needed a        translation of a French or German word. In fact, I owned        only three        dictionaries ï¿½ the English one from my grandmother and two        for my        foreign        language studies (French-English/English-French and        German-English/English-German) for the first several        decades of my        life. I        never appreciated or understood the value of a dictionary        until I        became an        author. Nor did I realize the treasure trove of        dictionaries that are        available        to peruse until I started writing novels. Now, if you check the shelves in my personal library,        you will        find about two dozen. Among my favorites are titles that        deal with        specific        collections of words: Sticklers, Sideburns & Bikinis: The Military Origins of Everyday           Words and Phrases by Graeme          Donald Unfortunate English:           The Gloomy Truth Behind the Words You Use by          Bill Brohaugh A Sea of Words: A           Lexicon and Companion to the Complete Seafaring           Tales of Patrick Oï¿½Brian by          Dean King Lost Words of Love by Susan Kelz Sperling Wicked Words: A           Treasury of Curses, Insults, Put-Downs, and Other           Formerly Unprintable           Terms           from Anglo-Saxon Times to the Present by Hugh          Rawson 1811 Dictionary of the           Vulgar Tongue: A Dictionary of Buckish Slang,           University Wit, and           Pickpocket           Eloquence by Captain Grose When a Loose Cannon           Flogs a Dead Horse Thereï¿½s the Devil to Pay:           Seafaring Words in           Everyday Speech by Olivia A. Isil While some of the         words         contained in these volumes are no         longer used, others that are second nature to us today         come from         writers. For         example, ï¿½the creepsï¿½ and ï¿½flummoxedï¿½ are expressions Charles          Dickens coined in         his novels. More than a century before this novelistï¿½s         birth, another         Englishman introduced a host of new words into the         English language.         These         include avocado, cashew, chopsticks, tortilla, and         Norwester. What         makes this         particular person different from all the others? He was         a pirate, or as         he         preferred to call himself, a privateer. His name: William          Dampier . The latest addition to my collection, The          Penguin          Dictionary of Historical Slang by Eric Partridge,         includes an unexpected definition for ï¿½privateerï¿½ in use         circa 1890 to         1914: ï¿½A         woman competing with prostitutes but not depending on         prostitution for         her whole         livelihoodï¿½.
