Seeking and Finding Children in the Past
The archaeology of childhood has grown over the past decade and a half as a vibrant field of specialized interest within archaeology as a whole. Theoretical developments and methodological innovations are integral features of this continually evolving body of literature, and conversations about childhood are taking place among an ever diversifying pool of scholars in the discipline.
Julie Wileman enters into these conversations seeking to redress the lack of children in archaeological interpretations, and to debunk the all too common notion that children's imprints on the archaeological record are either minor, hard to interpret, or too difficult to disentangle from those of adults. The stated goal of Hide and Seek is "to examine the evidence for children in the past, and to try to encourage others to bear in mind … that every society had children, that children would have been present at almost every site, and that the roles of those children in their societies would have been significant in a number of ways" (p. 7). The theme of archaeologists needing to redress the previous omission of children from archaeological interpretations is one of the most prevalent among works on the subject, and as such Hide and Seek represents a significant contribution to the field.
Hide and Seek is best characterized as a descriptive work that reports evidence relating to children in ancient societies around the globe, with occasional references to more contemporary, anthropological studies of childhood that have implications for our understandings of children in the past. The anecdotal accounts of children in the past that comprise Hide and Seek are well researched and engagingly presented, and derive from published archaeological, ethnographic, and historical studies of childhood. The book is organized around a series of thematic chapters, which engage readily identified Western conceptions of childhood, including care and nurture, education and training, death, burial, and commemoration, children in rituals, children as victims, and definitions of childhood. This thematic presentation, as well as the style of writing, make this book readily accessible to popular audiences.
The predominant cases drawn upon in this text relate to ancient states with relatively well-understood systems of writing and symbolic expression, including Egyptian, Aztec, Maya, and Inca civilizations. Even more frequent are presentations of childhood in medieval, Roman, and Anglo-Saxon Europe. The tendency to favor cultural groups that loom large in popular consciousness or bear an ancestral relationship to contemporary Britain means that the evidence collected for this work does not represent a systematic treatment of childhood across cultures. These principle cases are balanced somewhat, however, by a comprehensive synthesis of the more accessible archaeological research on children to date, which offers a broader coverage of world areas and time periods, including prehistory.
Hide and Seek can be seen as highly successful in meeting the author's stated goals for the work, and as a collection of evidence relating to children in the past it provides a powerful case for archaeologists to consider children as important actors in past social groups. The highly descriptive nature of the work, however, limits its contributions to scholarly dialogues about childhood in archaeology, and the work does not engage critical issues of method and theory that typify the majority of the literature on this topic. As such, this work is of limited use for scholars interested in the archaeology of childhood as the case studies presented will already be familiar, and there is no new theoretical or methodological development involving these published cases.
Perhaps of greatest concern is that Hide and Seek itself falls victim to another, significant critique of many archaeological and anthropological discussions of childhood. This widely leveled critique notes that archaeologists tend to rely heavily on their own contemporary, Western understandings of childhood, which in turn limit their ability to recognize specific and unique constructions of childhood that existed only in the past. The choice of case studies that are easily analogous to contemporary ideas of childhood, and the decision to use titles and headings that reinforce culturally normative ideas of childhood, including the title "Hide and Seek" and chapter headings such as "Little Darlings" and "Suffer the Children," tends to naturalize the experience of contemporary childhood, rather than pointing to the diverse ways that childhood may have been culturally constructed in the past. More theoretical discussions on the archaeology of childhood have actively engaged the importance of de-naturalizing our own experiences of childhood, and have emphasized the need to seek emic constructions of childhood through the material record. The very nature of Hide and Seek works against this important trend in the overall literature.
In sum, Julie Wileman offers a readily accessible synthesis of published evidence for children in the past. The descriptive nature of the work and the comfortable writing style make this work particularly well suited for a popular audience, or individuals seeking illustrative material about children in the past. These strengths as a descriptive work limit its contributions to scholarly dialogues on the archaeology of childhood, and Hide and Seek does not offer readers a well-developed introduction to current theoretical and methodological conversations in the discipline.

Can 'Hot or Not' Help Us Design Better Cities?
Place Pulse is an online tool developed by MIT researchers that gauges people's emotional responses to their surroundings.
Within seconds of walking through an unfamiliar neighborhood, you can already tell whether or not you feel comfortable. Little visual cues help you out: Things like graffiti, cracked pavement and empty streets might speed up your heartbeat, while bright lights, clean buildings and bustling sidewalks probably make you feel safe. These gut feelings are just that—feelings, but they help you decide if you're going to wander around and discover a new restaurant or get back on the subway as fast as possible, which ultimately has an impact on a neighborhood's health.
Social scientists have long suspected that a neighborhood's aesthetic value might be a good gauge of its safety and vitality, but the proof was slippery. After all, it's not easy to quantify an emotional response to a graffiti tag. But two years ago, that's exactly what a group of researchers from MIT's media lab did.
It was dubbed Hot or Not for Cities, but its scope goes far deeper.
The team built Place Pulse, an online tool that enabled them to gather empirical data on how a city's architecture, design and general aesthetic affect its social and economic outcomes. Place Pulse is basically a website that encourages visitors to rank two side-by-side images of cities on the basis of their appearance. Using randomly chosen Google Street View images from Boston, New York City, and Linz and Salzburg in Austria, the site asked questions like: Which place looks safer or which place looks more upper-class?
Visitors clicked accordingly and that bit of data was fed to algorithms that helped determine overarching trends. When it first launched in 2011, the tool was cleverly dubbed Hot or Not for Cities, but its scope goes far deeper than just the superficial. "People's built surroundings have an impact on how they view and feel about a place," explains Cesar Hidalgo, an MIT professor who is leading the research. "By identifying the features that are associated with each response, it allows people to incorporate that knowledge into the process of design."
The findings, which were published recently in the journal PLoS ONE, are fascinating, but they mostly just reinforce what we already know—cities like New York are plagued with inequality. Generally, Hidalgo found that notoriously wealthy neighborhoods ranked high on safety, while more needy neighborhoods were deemed unsafe by voters. The triggers? Graffiti, cracked pavement and empty parking lots.
Hidalgo says the outcomes of the first experiment were important for establishing the project's research methodology, but he believes there are other associations that can be explored to connect behavior and the aesthetics of urban environments. "They haven't been explored yet because we haven't had good data on the way places look," he explains. Which is why he and his team expanded their research to 56 cities and switched up the questions to bess less pointed. Drawing on more than 100,000 Google images from cities around the world, the MIT team is looking to measure people's reactions to inquiries such as, Which place is more beautiful? Or more lively, boring, depressing or wealthier?
The current rankings based on Place Pulse responses. Gaborone, Botswana ranks low on liveliness, while Washington, D.C. and Taipei are generally believed to be less boring.
Hidalgo believes Place Pulse can put help keep the government in check.
Hidalgo purposefully stayed away from questions of mechanical objectivity like if a place is clean or dirty. "Asking if a place is clean or not is almost computational," he explains. "But asking if a place is depressing is very human." He hopes tapping into human emotions, they'll be able to quantify the idea of what makes a city desirable. "There is a zeitgeist of people thinking about cities and the idea of a city being a lively place," he explains. "So how do you design a place to be lively?" Considering the recently launched second phase of Place Pulse research only has only accumulated 360,000 clicks so far (they need more than 2 million to get a statistically sound sample), the answer is inconclusive. But eventually he hope they'll have enough quantifiable data to really inform the future planning and design of cities.
Ultimately, Hidalgo believes the most powerful application of Place Pulse's data is to use it to keep the government in check. If you're able to pinpoint a city's healthy and wounded neighborhoods, it will be easier to hold governments accountable for where they're funneling their resources. "Are they making efforts in a way that will enhance this contrast or in a way that will ameliorate or reduce this contrast?" Hidalgo asks. "Hopefully this will be a balancing force."

I'd like to have the same keyboard shortcuts in all the terminals I use. Since they don't have the same *nix on them, and since terminals can be very different, I'm looking for a reasonably portable way to get keyboard shortcuts from one *nix terminal (at least supported by a standard Ubuntu 12.04 installation) to other terminals (Bash only).
That is, I'm trying to generate commands in one terminal to execute on another terminal, in order to use the same keyboard shortcuts in the second terminal. Especially things like Alt-Del (delete the word to the right of the cursor) and Ctrl-Left (move the cursor one word to the left), which on some hosts I work on simply prints the escape code instead of performing the expected actions.
This is also meant as a precursor to possibly changing the
.inputrc on the target host. The important points are to be able to
- Figure out which keyboard shortcuts are defined on my local host.
- Figure out whether any commonly used shortcuts are not defined from the remote host.
- Copy the shortcut definitions to the remote host.
- Verify that the shortcuts work as expected on the remote host.
- Be reasonably sure that the shortcuts would also work on a third host, possibly with very old versions of Bash and standard tools like

In the 1920s, the Denver Art Museum became one of the first art institutions in the world to collect American Indian material not be-cause of some historic or scientific interest, but because of its undeniable aesthetic qualities. Nearly ninety years later, the DAM has one of the largest and most important collections of Native American art anywhere.
But for months now, the American Indian Art Galleries in the Ponti building devoted to displaying the museums collection have been closed while Native Arts curator Nancy Blomberg rethought and reinstalled it. The new galleries underwent not only a physical change, but also an intellectual one, explains Blomberg. The new presentation focuses on specific artists. People go to the Modern and Contemporary art floors or the European art floors and expect to see artists; however, when they come to the American Indian art galleries, they dont. I want to challenge that. I want visitors to look at a group of, for example, Navajo weavings and see the distinct style and hand of the artist involved. I want people to see 2,000 years of continuous artistic creation.
See it all from prehistoric to postmodern when the galleries reopen at noon today at the DAM, 100 West 14th Avenue Park-way. For more information, call _PHONE_ or go to _URL_.

Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) On Debian Squeeze - Page 2
6 Populate The Database And Test
To populate the database you can use the MySQL shell:
mysql -u root -p
USE pureftpd;
Now we create the user exampleuser with the status 1 (which means his ftp account is active), the password secret (which will be stored encrypted using MySQL's MD5 function), the UID and GID 2001 (use the userid and groupid of the user/group you created at the end of step two!), the home directory /home/www.example.com, an upload and download bandwidth of 100 KB/sec. (kilobytes per second), and a quota of 50 MB:
INSERT INTO 'ftpd' ('User', 'status', 'Password', 'Uid', 'Gid', 'Dir', 'ULBandwidth', 'DLBandwidth', 'comment', 'ipaccess', 'QuotaSize', 'QuotaFiles') VALUES ('exampleuser', '1', MD5('secret'), '2001', '2001', '/home/www.example.com', '100', '100', '', '*', '50', '0');
quit;
Now open your FTP client program on your work station (something like WS_FTP or SmartFTP if you are on a Windows system or gFTP on a Linux desktop) and try to connect. As hostname you use server1.example.com (or the IP address of the system), the username is exampleuser, and the password is secret.
If you are able to connect - congratulations! If not, something went wrong.
Now, if you run
ls -l /home
you should see that the directory /home/www.example.com (exampleuser's home directory) has been automatically created, and it is owned by ftpuser and ftpgroup (the user/group we created at the end of step three):
root@server1:~# ls -l /home
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 administrator administrator 4096 Feb 7 2011 administrator
drwxr-xr-x 2 ftpuser ftpgroup 4096 Apr 23 17:03 _URL_
root@server1:~#

7 Database Administration
For most people it is easier if they have a graphical front-end to MySQL; therefore you can also use phpMyAdmin (in this example under _URL_ to administrate the pureftpd database.
Whenever you want to create a new user, you have to create an entry in the table ftpd so I will explain the columns of this table here:
ftpd Table:
 - User: The name of the virtual PureFTPd user (e.g. exampleuser).
 - status: 0 or 1. 0 means the account is disabled, the user cannot login.
 - Password: The password of the virtual user. Make sure you use MySQL's MD5 function to save the password encrypted as an MD5 string:
 - UID: The userid of the ftp user you created at the end of step two (e.g. 2001).
 - GID: The groupid of the ftp group you created at the end of step two (e.g. 2001).
 - Dir: The home directory of the virtual PureFTPd user (e.g. /home/www.example.com). If it does not exist, it will be created when the new user logs in the first time via FTP. The virtual user will be jailed into this home directory, i.e., he cannot access other directories outside his home directory.
 - ULBandwidth: Upload bandwidth of the virtual user in KB/sec. (kilobytes per second). 0 means unlimited.
 - DLBandwidth: Download bandwidth of the virtual user in KB/sec. (kilobytes per second). 0 means unlimited.
 - comment: You can enter any comment here (e.g. for your internal administration) here. Normally you leave this field empty.
 - ipaccess: Enter IP addresses here that are allowed to connect to this FTP account. * means any IP address is allowed to connect.
 - QuotaSize: Storage space in MB (not KB, as in ULBandwidth and DLBandwidth!) the virtual user is allowed to use on the FTP server. 0 means unlimited.
 - QuotaFiles: amount of files the virtual user is allowed to save on the FTP server. 0 means unlimited.

8 Anonymous FTP
If you want to create an anonymous ftp account (an ftp account that everybody can login to without a password), you can do it like this:
First create a user ftp (with the homedir /home/ftp) and group ftp:
groupadd ftp
useradd -s /bin/false -d /home/ftp -m -c "anonymous ftp" -g ftp ftp
Then create the file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous which contains the string no:
echo "no" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous
With this configuration, PureFTPd will allow anonymous logins.
Restart PureFTPd:
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql restart
Then we create the directory /home/ftp/incoming which will allow anonymous users to upload files. We will give the /home/ftp/incoming directory permissions of 311 so that users can upload, but not see or download any files in that directory. The /home/ftp directory will have permissions of 555 which allows seeing and downloading of files:
cd /home/ftp
mkdir incoming
chown ftp:nogroup incoming/
chmod 311 incoming/
cd ../
chmod 555 ftp/
Now anonymous users can login, and they can download files from /home/ftp, but uploads are limited to /home/ftp/incoming (and once a file is uploaded into /home/ftp/incoming, it cannot be read nor downloaded from there; the server admin has to move it into /home/ftp first to make it available to others).

Question: Can You Talk Dirty To Telemarketers?
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers without prior consent.
Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers' cell phones without their consent..
How late can you call someone?
Why do telemarketers call and hang up?
It is because they have more phone lines that operators. There is a computer calling random numbers. … While many of these are legitimate telemarketers (an odd phrase too be sure), there is a similar scam where people call, intentionally hang up before/right after you answer, and hope you call back.
Is it safe to answer spam calls?
Many spammers won't leave a message. … NEVER SAY 'YES': If you do answer the suspicious call, or respond to a voice message from an unsolicited caller, do not answer "yes" or offer any personal information during the conversation.
What to do if someone keeps calling you?
How do I stop receiving spam calls?
Enable the Built-In Spam Call Blocking On Your Android Phone To enable this, click the options button at top-right, then Settings > Caller ID & Spam. Enable Filter Spam Calls and your phone will use Google's database of known spam numbers to filter spam calls automatically. Your phone won't even ring.
How can I annoy my telemarketers?
When they're talking, (as soon as you know it's a telemarketer), start saying "No" to everything they ask. Even say "No" while they're talking. For best results, keep the same tempo but change your tone and loudness between "No"s.
What to say to get telemarketers to stop calling?
The national Do Not Call list protects landline and wireless phone numbers. You can register your numbers on the national Do Not Call list at no cost by calling _PHONE_ (voice) or _PHONE_ (TTY). You must call from the phone number you wish to register.
Do telemarketers call at night?
It establishes standards of conduct for telemarketing calls: Telemarketers can't call you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. Telemarketers must promptly tell you the identity of the seller or charitable organization and that the call is a sales call or a charitable solicitation.
What to do if you are on the Do Not Call list and still get calls?
You can report the illegal call to the Federal Trade Commission by visiting or by calling _PHONE_.
Why do telemarketers call and not say anything?
The majority of silent or abandoned calls are made and caused by automated calling systems known as dialers, or predictive dialers. … If the dialer makes a call but there is no call centre agent on hand to deal with it, the person being called will hear silence on the other end of the line.
Is it a crime to prank call?
The most likely criminal law that applies to prank calls is harassment. However, depending upon your jurisdiction, other laws like laws prohibiting disorderly conduct, wiretapping, and even hate crimes may apply. Here's a look at a few ways your prank calls could potentially get you arrested: Harassment.

In this article, you will find tips on how to use price tracking software in the Household equipment market. You will find insights for online shops that want to stay competitive in this market.
We will cover the following topics:
- What are the characteristics of the household equipment market?
- What are the challenges related to price monitoring and dynamic pricing (repricing)?
- Which functionalities and reports provided in the price tracking tool are crucial?
- How to start monitoring prices systematically?
1. What are the characteristics of the household equipment market?
Household equipment (home appliances) industry covers products which are used in a household. It can be divided into:
- Major appliances, e.g. refrigerators, washing machines
- Small appliances, e.g. coffeemakers, vacuum cleaners, blenders
According to Statista, the sales of major appliances are ~2x higher than small appliances sales.
What is characteristic of this market?
- You can find household appliances in almost every home – in Germany, 83% of households own a coffee machine, in Spain – 77% have a toaster.
- The market is expected to grow with CAGR 4.4%. The growth will come from both new users and customers buying new models of already used appliances.
- A majority of customers in several countries will buy household products online more often after the COVID-19. China was the only analyzed country in which there was a decrease of respondents who said that they buy furnishings and appliances online. In some countries, such as Spain, there was an increase of even almost 50%.
- Smart appliances have been gaining popularity since 2012. Hence, digitalization has been playing a bigger role for manufacturers; on the other hand, online shops need to use proper product descriptions to explain all the advanced features.
- The market is consolidated. However, to be aware of new brands and products on the market, an online shop could acquire a Competitor's Assortment Report thanks to which it can track new products in their competitors' offer.
- Some of the most popular brands in this industry are: Midea Group, Whirlpool, Electrolux, BSH Hausgeräte
2. What are the challenges related to price monitoring and dynamic pricing (repricing)?
As we showed before, online sales have big importance in the household appliances sector which is a trend which many companies operating in this segment have to adapt to. And what is the most important factor for customers when they buy online? As several researches show, price is the most relevant factor for customers when purchasing online.
It means that an online shop which wants to be popular among customers should offer competitive prices. Without a price monitoring tool it is almost impossible to track all the offered SKUs in all the relevant channels every day. With price tracking software, you can have a short glimpse on the panel every day. You can choose competitors which you want to compare to and check your shop's ranking (position) in comparison to them:
Other relevant information displayed is about opportunities for profit increase or important changes in the market. In order to always be up to date, you can receive such insights in e-mail alerts as well.
The second functionality which is often used is dynamic pricing (repricing). It gives you a possibility to change the price in the online shop according to the current market position. How does it work? You set customized rules according to which the prices in your shop should be changed. It can include such rules as "being the cheapest on Google Shopping", "being cheaper than the average on the market" provided specific conditions (e.g. minimum profit margin). Thanks to that, you can automate your pricing without additional manual work and time needed. If you have seen competitors being always 5 cents below your price – it is very probable that they use such rules for their pricing.
3. Which functionalities and reports provided in the price tracking tool are crucial?
What is relevant when looking for a price monitoring & repricing software?
- Clear market overview – price monitoring tool should enable you not only to check your position on the market but also to identify the most relevant competitors. In the Dealavo tool, you can see your position on the market in regard to every single product and see how many other online shops offer it. You can also easily see which products you have in common with each of the competitors.
- All data integrated in one place – thanks to having the data from all the platforms in one panel, you can understand the situation with one glimpse only.
- Data displayed in charts – there is no easier way to see a trend than looking at a chart. That's why at Dealavo we try to visualize the data in very intuitive way – with charts including information about different competitors' prices in a specified time range
- Dynamic Pricing – to react quickly, it is recommended to implement dynamic pricing based on customizable conditions. Some shops use different rules depending on the channel or country – with Dealavo software it is not a problem.
- E-mail alerts – to be always up to date with relevant changes in the market, you should make sure you can receive e-mail notifications every time there is an important price increase / decrease in the market, or when there is an opportunity to increase your price etc. With Dealavo, you can choose when exactly you want to receive such an e-mail (e.g. when the prices decrease more than 15%).
- API integration – to implement data from the tool to your system, API integration is crucial – especially if you monitor hundreds or thousands of products. With Dealavo, you always get an API.
- Data available in csv – for data analysis, it can be important to have data in csv format as well. Dealavo offers it for all of the clients.
- Availability information – it happens that your competitors offer products at very low prices, but then it turns out that they are not available. It can even happen that even though there are several listed offers, you are the only shop which actually has the product. It is crucial to have availability information in the tool.
- Frequency of the updates – to react fast, you need frequent updates. At Dealavo, we can offer you to refresh informationi even every 15 minutes.
4. How to start monitoring prices systematically?

Computerized color analysis of "xue yu" (blood stasis) in the sublingual vein using a new technology
Masashi Takeichi, Takeshi Sato
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
22 Citations (Scopus)
Abstract
Computer-assisted image analyses were performed on the color of the tongues of 95 medical students to enhance the accuracy and objectivity of tongue inspections for determining blood stasis. Areas from the sublingual vein were selected and subjected to image analysis. A slide scanner was used to digitize the color slides, and the digital information was transmitted to a personal computer for subsequent feature extraction and analysis. A comparison was then made between the computerized data using Red-Green-Blue color components, and inspection with the naked eye based on the diagnostics of traditional Chinese medicine. The results obtained suggest that there are statistically significant correlations between visual analyses and the computerized normalized R value (F value; 3.397, p<0.05). The examination of sublingual veins with the naked eye showed the validity of computer-assisted image analysis. This analysis may provide a potential solution to the demand for a sophisticated means of quantitative and qualitative observation of physiological parameters regarding blood stasis, including that for the sublingual vein.

Music, Discipline, and Arms in Early Modern France
In this groundbreaking new study, Kate van Orden examines noble education in the arts to show how music contributed to cultural and social transformation in early modern French society. She constructs a fresh account of music's importance in promoting the absolutism that the French monarchy would fully embrace under Louis XIV, uncovering many hitherto unpublished ballets and royal ceremonial performances.
The great pressure on French noblemen to take up the life of the warrior gave rise to bellicose art forms such as sword dances and equestrian ballets. Far from being construed as effeminizing, such combinations of music and the martial arts were at once refined and masculine-a perfect way to display military prowess. The incursion of music into riding schools and infantry drills contributed materially to disciplinary order, enabling the larger and more effective armies of the seventeenth century. This book is a history of the development of these musical spheres and how they brought forth new cultural priorities of civility, military discipline, and political harmony. Music, Discipline, and Arms in Early Modern France effectively illustrates the seminal role music played in mediating between the cultural spheres of letters and arms.

text: The present challenge with all-oxide thermoelectric modules is their poor durability at high temperatures caused by the instability of the metal-oxide interfaces at the hot side. This work explains a new module concept based on a hybrid p-n junction, fabricated in one step by spark plasma co-sintering of Ca3Co4-xO9+δ (CCO, p-type) and CaMnO3-δ/CaMn2O4 (CMO, n-type). Different module (unicouple) designs were studied to obtain a thorough understanding of the role of the in situ formed hybrid p-n junction of Ca3CoMnO6 (CCMO, p-type) and Co-oxide rich phases (p-type) at the p-n junction (>700 °C) in the module performance. A time-enhanced performance of the modules attributed to this p-n junction formation was observed due to the unique electrical properties of the hybrid p-n junction being sufficiently conductive at high temperatures (>700 °C) and nonconductive at moderate and low temperatures. The alteration of module design resulted in a variation of the power density from 12.4 (3.1) to 28.9 mW/cm2 (7.2 mW) at ΔT ∼ 650 °C after 2 days of isothermal hold (900 °C hot side). This new concept provides a facile method for the fabrication of easily processable, cheap, and high-performance high-temperature modules.

ABSTRACT
In his classic research, Morton established two functionally different configurations of the bipedal and non-bipedal primate foot: one optimized for stability, with a stiff longitudinal arch and adducted first metatarsal, and the other for compliance. Modern human feet were seen as conforming to the bipedal norm and variation from it as pathology, even though clinical evidence has been clear that variation from the norm of a stiff longitudinal arch or adducted first metatarsal exists. This study aims to document the variation in linear and angular measurements of the foot, using weight-bearing radiographs of 50 randomly selected people (25 men) from an urban US Level 1 trauma center. The radiographs were obtained to "rule-out" a foot fracture after trauma or as comparison films for a contralateral foot injury. Measurements were made using Osirix and correlations among the angular and length measurements were determined using Stata with P < 0.05 and Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. We found that foot length was not correlated with angular measurements, except for the angle between the first and fifth metatarsal. People with lower medial longitudinal arches also had more abducted first metatarsals and more vertical posterior facets, in accordance with Morton's foot types. Whether or not this variation in modern humans is linked to functionally important consequences remains to be determined in future research. With the new evidence of a more variable foot structure in fossil hominins, understanding the relationship between foot morphology and function becomes more urgent.

AM'AZON, noun [This is said to be formed of a neg and breast. History informs us, that the Amazons cut off their right breast, that it might not incommode them in shooting and hurling the javelin. This is doubtless a fable.]
1. The Amazons are said by historians, to have been a race of female warriors, who founded an empire on the river Thermodon, in Asia Minor, on the coast of the Euxine. They are said to have excluded men from their society; and by their warlike enterprises, to have conquered and alarmed surrounding nations. Some writers treat these accounts as fables.
2. By analogy, a warlike or masculine woman; a virago.
3. This name has been given to some American females, on the banks of the largest river in the world, who joined their husbands in attacking the Spaniards that first visited the country. This trivial occurrence gave the name amazon to that river, whose real name is Maranon.

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to estimate allocative and technical inefficiency in the cultivation of wheat on 300 farms in the Indian Punjab for the periods 1981-82 and 1982-83. These measures of efficiency as well as farm yield are related to farm size. The paper appears to be the first to measure technical and allocative efficiency in agriculture jointly. It is discovered that, on the whole, large farms are technically and allocatively more efficient than small farms for both years. At the disaggregated level a broadly similar result obtains. Policy implications, particularly for land reforms, are discussed.

Trehalose is Elixir Of Life, and Vitamin C Reduces Alcohol's Impact on Performance
By Ryan Munsey

Table of Contents:
This week's edition of Research Roundup showcases more cool research that shows the mushroom sugar "trehalose is Elixir of Life" for cells during stressful conditions and Vitamin C, when taken after alcohol consumption, reduces alcohol-related performance dips.
MUSHROOM SUGAR TREHALOSE IS "ELIXIR OF LIFE"
At a basic level, trehalose is a sugar - more precisely a disaccharide made of two alpha-glucose molecules.
Here's what you need to know, "trehalose is synthesized as a stress-responsive factor when cells are exposed to environmental stresses like heat, cold, oxidation, desiccation, and so forth.
When unicellular organisms are exposed to stress, they adapt by synthesizing huge amounts of trehalose, which helps them in retaining cellular integrity. This is thought to occur by prevention of denaturation of proteins by trehalose, which would otherwise degrade under stress." [2]
In a 2009 study at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research in India, scientists discovered that trehalose essentially forms a "glassy" or gel-like cocoon that engulfs, supports, and stabilizes cells and cellular structures - helping them withstand stressful situations.
The scientists believe this bioprotective action is made possible by a rare combination of properties unique to trehalose.
Although none of these properties is powerful or impressive on their own, the combination provides a neurological and protein-protecting benefit that cannot be ignored.
In the researcher's own words, trehalose may be the elixir of life for organisms when it comes to countering stressful conditions.
This is why we chose trehalose as the sweetener for our Prebiotic+ formulation. You're getting all the benefits of resistant starch PLUS the stress-adaptive bioprotection of trehalose!

natural-stacks-prebiotic-resistant-starch
VITAMIN C PREVENTS ALCOHOL-RELATED PERFORMANCE DIP
Add another benefit to the seemingly endless resume of Vitamin C.
In this study, mice were given alcohol and then placed in an aquarium where they had to stay afloat. Time to exhaustion was tested with and without alcohol. The same time to exhaustion was then measured when Vitamin C was taken after alcohol ingestion.
Alcohol - as you would assume - had a negative impact on time to exhaustion. With alcohol in their system, the mice were not able to perform as well as they did without alcohol.
Vitamin C, taken AFTER alcohol ingestion reduced the alcohol-related performance drop. Interestingly, when taken BEFORE alcohol consumption, Vitamin C did NOT attenuate the performance drop.
Based on the dosages given to the mice, the effective dose for humans would be 1-4 grams of Vitamin C, according to bodyweight and taken after alcohol consumption.
The researchers concluded: "The negative effect of alcohol is probably the work of the alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde damages tissue, including muscle tissue, but it seems that vitamin C can to some extent limit this damage. Going by the results of this animal study, you could speculate that athletes who have drunk alcohol will train better if they take one gram of quickly absorbed Vitamin C an hour before their workout."
We're not advocating unchecked alcohol consumption.
But when you have (responsibly) enjoyed some, follow it up with 1-4 grams of Vitamin C to "hack" your way to optimal performance.

Journey Through the Universe Celebrates 20 Years of Exploration on Hawai'i Island
Celebrating its 20th consecutive year on Hawaiʻi Island, the flagship Journey Through the Universe program brings the Universe to students and the community in early February 2024
29 January 2024
Journey Through the Universe — a partnership between the International Gemini Observatory, operated by NSF's NOIRLab, and the Hawaiʻi Department of Education Hilo-Waiākea Complex Area — celebrates 20 years of cosmic exploration with Hawai'i students and the community. This year's exciting program includes classroom presentations, career panels, public events and more!
Hawai'i Island's leading astronomy education and outreach program, Journey Through the Universe (Journey), is returning for its 20th year from 5–9 February 2024 (Journey Week). Throughout this week, volunteer educators are invited into Hawai'i Island classrooms ranging from 3rd to 12th grade to promote science education and inspire students to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields by developing literacy in science. Students participating in the program, envision themselves in STEM careers and experience the unique science happening in the local Hawaiʻi community and beyond.
In addition to science presentations, career panels and StarLab portable planetarium shows, this year's program will also include a host of public events. A special Community Mahalo Reception hosted by the local Chambers of Commerce will be held on 5 February at the ʻImiloa Astronomy Center during which community members can connect with the educators who make the program possible. On 6 February a free public talk will feature NASA SSERVI's Brian Day and astrophysicist Kevin Grazier, followed by stargazing. Finally, a free screening of the independent film Space, Hope and Charity will take place at the Hilo Palace Theater on 7 February, featuring an appearance by the film's star Charity Woodrum and others involved in the film. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion about the film. For more details on these public events see the Journey Through the Universe website.
"I'm really grateful to all of the community members who have made Journey Through the Universe possible for the past 20 years," said Leinani Lozi, Hawaiʻi Education and Engagement Manager at Gemini and Journey Lead Coordinator. "From the teachers who welcome us into their classrooms, to the volunteers who engage our students, and all of our community partners who support us, I can't thank our amazing community enough. This year's unique t-shirt design emphasizes the scale of community involvement in Journey with an ʻōlelo no'eau, 'aʻohe hana nui ke alu ʻia, no task is too big when done together by all.' We aim to embrace this model of community partnership in not only Journey but all of our work as Maunakea observatories."
The International Gemini Observatory, operated by NSF's NOIRLab, as well as the Department of Education Hilo-Waiākea Complex Area, leads the Journey Through the Universe program. Our volunteer educators come from the Maunakea Observatories, NASA, various universities and more. Over the years, Journey has expanded to our larger Hawaiʻi Astronomy community including a Journey program in north Hawaiʻi led by the Canada-France-Hawaiʻi Telescope and a Journey program in Maui County led by the National Solar Observatory. Every program endeavors to foster curiosity about our Universe, inform about observatory careers, and share the cutting-edge research and technology taking place in Hawaiʻi.
Originally developed by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE), and introduced to Hilo by Gemini and W.M. Keck Observatory in 2004, Journey's 20 years of successful engagement is evidence of the support from local community partners across government, business, astronomy, and higher education, as well as the strength of our foundational partnership with the Department of Education Hilo-Waiākea Complex Area. Through this partnership, the Journey program is able to adapt every year to the changing needs of our community. In 2018, Journey hosted a Next Generation Science Standards Workshop in response to new national level science standards introduced across the country. In 2021, Journey was held entirely online, expanding its reach to neighboring islands. And now in 2024, the time spent in the classroom post-pandemic is so precious that Journey has begun content matching teacher-requested topics directly with our volunteer educators — with the most requested topic being Astronomy with a Hawaiʻi connection.
"As we celebrate 20 consecutive years, the Journey Through the Universe partnership is the longest and most impactful collaboration that I know of for the Hilo-Waiākea Complex of the Hawaiʻi Department of Education," said Esther Kanehailua, Complex Superintendent. Kanehailua adds that students who have participated in Journey have returned as science educators in local schools, showing the impact of the Journey program.
While individual classroom science presentations make up the majority of Journey programming, career panels continue to be an impactful part of Journey Week. These panels allow students to discover the wide range of career opportunities available both at observatories and within the wider STEM fields and provide an opportunity to engage with professionals in their fields of interest. Some career panelists are alumni of the schools they will be visiting. Journey Through the Universe 2024 career panels will feature STEM professionals from near and far, with some flying into Hilo just for this program!
"When I was a student at Hilo Intermediate and Hilo High Schools, the Journey program had a profound impact on my decision to pursue astronomy as a career," says Hilo High graduate Devin Chu, who recently received his PhD from UCLA in astrophysics specializing in studying stars around the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. "Since I was a child, I wanted to be an astronomer. The Journey program provided a perspective for me and a path forward to work with local astronomers. I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel this inspiration from the scientists who visited our classrooms over the years."
NSF's NOIRLab (National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory), the US center for ground-based optical-infrared astronomy, operates the International Gemini Observatory (a facility of NSF, NRC–Canada, ANID–Chile, MCTIC–Brazil, MINCyT–Argentina, and KASI–Republic of Korea), Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO), the Community Science and Data Center (CSDC), and Vera C. Rubin Observatory (operated in cooperation with the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory). It is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with NSF and is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. The astronomical community is honored to have the opportunity to conduct astronomical research on Iolkam Du'ag (Kitt Peak) in Arizona, on Maunakea in Hawai'i, and on Cerro Tololo and Cerro Pachón in Chile. We recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that these sites have to the Tohono O'odham Nation, to the Native Hawaiian community, and to the local communities in Chile, respectively.

"Argillite" may also refer to Argillite, Kentucky.
Grey chunks of graptolitic argillite below the cliffs of Pakri Islands, yellowish and white chunks are limestone
An argillite /ˈɑrɨlt/ is a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed predominantly of indurated clay particles. Argillaceous rocks are basically lithified muds and oozes. They contain variable amounts of silt-sized particles. The argillites grade into shale when the fissile layering typical of shale is developed. Another name for poorly lithified argillites is mudstone. These rocks, although variable in composition, are typically high in aluminium and silica with variable alkali and alkaline earth cations. The term pelitic or pelite is often applied to these sediments and rocks. Metamorphism of argillites produces slate, phyllite, and pelitic schist.
Belt Supergroup[edit]
The Belt Supergroup of rocks is composed mainly of argillite, as well as other metamorphosed or semi-metamorphosed mudstones. This supergroup is mainly exposed in Western Montana, including the Bitterroot Valley and Bitterroot Mountains, Missoula area, Flathead Lake, and Glacier National Park, and is also exposed in parts of Northern Idaho, and British Columbia. Belt Supergroup rocks are also thought to be present in what is now Korea, Northeast China, and Eastern Siberia as well as possibly Australia.[citation needed] Glacier National Park in northwestern Montana and Wolf Creek Canyon along the US Interstate 15 in west-central Montana are well known for their exposed deep purple, wine red, red, blue, turquoise, and green argillites.[citation needed]
"Black slate"[edit]
A piece of raw black argillite from Haida Gwaii.
The Haida carvings of (Haida Gwaii) along the coast of British Columbia are notable aboriginal art treasures created from a type of a hard, fine black silt argillite, sometimes called "black slate". The black slate occurs only at a quarry on a Slatechuck Mountain in the upper basin of Slatechuck Creek, near the town of Skidegate on Graham Island. At one time, around 1900, it was shipped to Victoria for manufacturing; today the Haida have a monopoly on use of the argillite. This artwork has been of high quality and prized around the world since the Haida first began carving it to sell to sailors around 1800; modern Haida carvers continue the tradition.

Using MsBuild tasks to build SSIS packages
In a previous blog post, I explained how to recompile the MsBuild task for SSIS 2016. Now that we've this task, we'll see how to use it.
First,let define a new file (here named Build.proj) in our SSIS solution
Then, we'll need to define our headers and namespaces:
The last attribute DefaultTargets is defining the part of the xml file that will be used when this file will be executed. In our case we'll just have one version of the Target but it's better to already correctly define it.
We also have to specify to MsBuild that an external assembly will be used (the community tasks to build SSIS packages).
It's now time to create a kind of variable to host the name/path of our SSIS project. Within MsBuild you achieve this task by using the following syntax:

SSISProjPath is the name of the variable and the value is defined in the Include attribute.
Now, let's focus on the Target itself. The target is named SSISBuild and will display a message before using the task to compile the SSIS project. The second step is performed by invoking the task DeploymentFileCompilerTask

The first parameter of DeploymentFileCompilerTask is the name of your project, you can safely use your variable by specifying the @() syntax. The second parameter is the configuration, personnaly I never change it and use Development but up-to-you. The protection level will override the corresponding property of your project.
If you want to compile, your project you can call MsBuild and specify Build.proj as the parameter, it will do the job! But it's more interesting if you can include this in your build steps. I'll just show you how you can include this in your TeamCity configuration:
 1. Create a build step
 2. Define the runner type as MsBuild
 3. Specify the MSBuild property for version as Microsoft Build Tools 2015 and ToolsVersion as 14.0
 4. Don't forget to specify the name of your target
 as SSISBuild
Once you've this setup in place, you can trigger your TeamCity project to get the following message and your build ready.

The main traditional food in Eritrean cuisine is tsebhi (stew), served with injera (flatbread made from teff, wheat, or sorghum), and hilbet (paste made from legumes; mainly lentil and faba beans). Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine (especially in the northern half) are very similar, given the shared history of the two countries.
Eritrean cuisine strongly resembles those of neighboring Ethiopia and Somalia, except for the fact that Eritrean and Somali cooking tend to feature more seafood than Ethiopian cuisine on account of their coastal locations. Eritrean dishes are also frequently "lighter" in texture than Ethiopian meals. They likewise tend to employ less seasoned butter and spices and more tomatoes, as in the tsebhi dorho delicacy. Additionally, owing to its colonial history, cuisine in Eritrea features more Ottoman and Italian influences than are present in Ethiopian cooking, including more pasta specials and greater use of curry powders and cumin.
Common foods and dishes
Eritrean food habits vary regionally. In the highlands, injera is the staple diet and eaten daily among the Tigrinya. When eating, diners generally share food from a large tray placed in the centre of a low dining table. Numerous injera are layered on this tray and topped with various spicy stews. Diners break into the section of injera in front of them, tearing off pieces and dipping them into the stews.
The stews that accompany injera are usually made from beef, chicken, mutton or vegetables. Most Eritreans, with the exception of the Saho, like their food hot and spicy. Berbere, a spice mixture that consists of a variety of common and unusual herbs and spices, accompanies almost all dishes. Stews include zigni, which is made of beef; dorho tsebhi, which is made of chicken; alicha, which is a vegetable dish made without berbere; and shiro, a puree of various legumes. Influenced by its past as an Italian colony, Eritrean cuisine also features unique interpretations of classic Italian dishes, such as pasta sauces spiced with berbere.
In the lowlands the main dish is akelet (also known locally as ga'at), a porridge-like dish made from wheat flour dough. A ladle is used to make an indentation in the dough, which is then filled with berbere, butter sauce and surrounded by milk or yogurt. When dining, a small piece of dough is dipped into the berbere and the butter sauce, and then plunged into the milk or yogurt.
Suwa is the name for the homebrewed beer common in Eritrea. It is made from roasted corn, barley and other grain and is flavored with gesho, a type of buckthorn leaf. It is often made for celebrations. A sweet honey wine is also common. The coffee ceremony is one of the most important and recognizable parts of Eritrean and Ethiopian cultures. Coffee is offered when visiting friends, during festivities, or as a daily staple of life. If coffee is politely declined, then tea (shahee) will most likely be served.

Tips for Using Maple Syrup
You Have Maple Syrup. Now what?
We frequently get asked for advice regarding how to store maple syrup, choosing the right syrup for your needs, and cooking with syrup. Here are some general guidelines that we hope will answer some of your questions.
 - How to store unopened maple syrup
 - Store maple syrup in unopened containers for up to a year at room temperature. Properly packaged syrup will last a year (or even indefinitely) without refrigeration.
 - All of Sterling Valley Maple's syrup is either packed into glass or a special oxygen-barrier plastic container, which will prevent any degradation of the syrup. Syrup stored in old-fashioned tin containers have an oxygen barrier but there is the potential that any bending or denting of the container could lead to rust, which is why we don't use these containers.
 - Maple syrup is naturally resistant to bacterial growth because of its low water content; even though syrup looks like a liquid, there actually is far more sugar than water in it and this limits the ability for most bacteria to grow. Proper packaging (hot packing above 180℉) will prevent mold growth inside the container when sealed.
 - Storing opened maple syrup
 - Once opened, keep the syrup cold to extend the shelf life up to 6 months. This prevents the formation of mold (which can enter the container when opened) and ensures the syrup does not lose quality or taste.
 - Storing syrup for long period of time
 - Syrup can be stored in the freezer indefinitely. This is great news if you like to buy in bulk! Syrup can be frozen easily. In fact, at the temperature of most freezers (around 0℉), syrup won't even become a solidit'll just become "slushy." If you're patient it's fairly easy to pour syrup even straight out of the freezer-- just be prepared for it to take a while. Syrup stored in the freezer won't develop mold, nor will it degrade quickly due to oxidation.
 - Choosing the correct syrup for your purpose
 - Remember that different classes of syrup can have different tastes and therefore are usually used for different purposes. Generally, people tend to prefer a darker syrup (such as our Dark/Robust Syrup) for baking because the stronger maple flavor will be more prominent in your recipes. If you really want to make sure that adding maple syrup adds the taste of maple, the darker the syrup the better. Likewise, many people prefer a lighter, more delicate tasting syrup, such as our Amber Color with Rich Taste, for table use on pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. This isn't to say that there's ever a "right" or "wrong" syrup for a certain usein our family, some people prefer dark on their pancakes, and others like the flavor of a more delicate syrup. We encourage you to not think of maple syrup as a single product, but instead as a range of flavor options that you can select from based on your specific desire.
 - If you're planning to put the syrup on a pastry, muffin, or bagel,
 consider using maple cream instead of syrup, which has a more concentrated flavor and a smooth, spreadable texture that will stay on top of your baked goods instead of soaking in.
 - Tips for cooking with maple syrup
 - Maple syrup is a fantastic sweetener option to replace cane sugar (which is hyper-processed and not particularly sustainable) when you're baking. We recommend you use dark syrup, but you can get the sustainability advantages with any of the color/flavor classes. In addition to adding the sweetening agent, you're also picking up some beneficial minerals, nutrients, and antioxidants that you wouldn't get with another sweetener. Plus, you add maple flavor that complements many different recipes.
 - The main thing you have to remember is that maple syrup contains added liquid; a cup of maple syrup is about ⅔ cup sugar and ⅓ cup water. So, when adding maple syrup to your recipe, you need to find a way to reduce the amount of overall liquid. This is easy if your recipe calls for waterjust cut out ⅓ cup of water for every cup of maple syrup you add. Many people find maple syrup to be marginally sweeter than cane (white) sugar, so you can probably get away with a little less than a 1:1 swapsome websites recommend using a ¾ cup of maple syrup for every 1 cup of sugar the recipe calls for. If the recipe calls for honey, you can do a 1:1 substitution without making any other changes.
 - If your recipe is particularly "fussy" and it's hard to deal with the extra liquid that maple syrup adds, a great option is granulated maple sugar. Granulated maple sugar is all-natural and made by simply removing almost all the water from maple syrup (unlike brown sugar, which is usually made by taking white sugar and adding back in the flavors that had been previously removed). Granulated maple sugar can be substituted 1:1 for cane sugar in almost every recipe without having to do any additional steps.
We hope you have these tips for storing, selecting, and using maple syrup helpful. Remember--in addition to having a great taste, Sterling Valley Maple's syrup is certified organic. We carefully harvest our syrup to provide you with quality, nutrition, and safety. If you have any recipes that you use with our syrup, we would love to hear from you and try your recipe!
Happy February, and Bon Appetit!

Whereas is usually used for comparing the features of two different things, when there is an important difference between them.
Whereas can be used when comparing anything: people, objects, places, actions etc.
You can use it in a sentence in two ways:
As a conjunction, to join two sentences together when there are 2 different subjects:
- I like beer whereas she likes wine.
- I'm good at snowboarding whereas she's good at skiing.
As a conjunction, at the start of a sentence where you are comparing 2 different things:
- Whereas I like blue, she likes green.
- Whereas smaller shops often have more expensive products, larger supermarkets can often put their prices down.
Whereas used in a legal context
Whereas can also be used for legal purposes, in the preamble (introduction) of a legal text, usually a contract.
This is called a 'whereas clause', and 'whereas' is used as an introductory word – it isn't used to compare things. Instead, it means "considering that" or "given the fact that".
The 'whereas clause' isn't a legal part of the contract's operative provisions – it simply 'paints the picture' or 'sets the stage', it gives an introduction to the situation.
Examples of whereas used in a legal context:
- Whereas party 1 has made allegations against party 2 that party 2 recklessly, negligently and/or fraudulently misrepresented and omitted material facts.
- Whereas party 1 is a dissolved corporation with a formal principal place of business in London.
Whereas synonyms (non-legal sense)
Since whereas is used as a conjunction, joining two ideas together in one sentence, it can often be replaced with other conjunctions.
Whereas Vs. While Vs. But Vs. And
While (when while is not used to signal time)
'While' is used in the same way as 'whereas' in a sentence, but only when 'while' is not used to mean "during the time that something else happens".
That means that you can replace 'whereas' with 'while' when it is used as a conjunction, but only when it is used at the start of a sentence:
- While I work in accounting, she works in the sales department.
- While I prefer going to the beach, I know a lot of people would rather spend their holidays in colder places.
But is also used to connect clauses or sentences, however, unlike 'and', it is used to signal a difference between two different ideas.
The main difference between 'but' and 'whereas', is that 'but' is used to signal a difference (or negative aspect), whereas 'whereas' is used to compare two things that are different. They can be interchanged in certain situations, for example:
- I like pasta but / whereas she likes pizza.
However, in other examples, but is used to present either the opposite of the original idea, or something negative about the original idea:
- I like that restaurant but it's a bit expensive.
- She looked tired but happy.
In these examples, when there is only one subject in the sentence, but can't be replaced with whereas.
'And' is used to connect words, clauses or sentences that should be considered together.
You can replace 'whereas' with 'and' when it is used in the middle of a sentence to compare two ideas that oppose one another (are different / contracting), and the meaning of the sentence won't change much.
However, using 'and' instead of 'whereas' means the ideas are simply being stated, rather than compared.
- I like chicken and she likes fish.
- I'm really good at running and he's really good at swimming.


The Benefits of Iron for Health through SV Ayurveda
Iron is an important necessary ingredient in our blood. But do you specifically know how many ailments and imbalances it can address? Long before we could scientifically study the importance of iron for our body's overall health, its health benefits were already well known by the ancient sages. One 16th century text called "Rasa Tarangini" covers the topic of mineralogy in Ayurveda exhaustively. I will be using it to describe the health benefits of iron for day to day modern life. Here is one verse:
Screenshot 2015-07-31 14.47.28
Properties and health benefits of Iron!
As the verse above explains, iron in sanskrit is called "loha." In terms of quality, it is rough and dry. Its taste is sweet, but it carries a post-digestive bitter taste. Its vidhya, or potency, is cooling and heavy. It is also astringent, stimulating and supports weight-reduction.
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.11.19
In addition, the verse explains that iron is very good for the eyes. It is invigorating, and supports sexual stamina. It corrects imbalances of the stomach and helps eliminate pitta and kapha related imbalances!
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.16.45
Furthermore: it enhances the skin's complexion, supports the mind's functioning: dhi – power of learning, dritti – power of retaining, and smritti – power of recall. Iron supports virility in men, and the overall body. When used properly, it can address many imbalances and diseases.
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.18.21
In another verse of the Rasa Tarangini (Chapter 20 Verse 84), we read:
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.19.27
This verse explains that loha, or iron, enhances the digestive power, supports the body and rejuvenates it. It helps correct chronic skin problems. Nourishes and thus supports the body in its fight against tumors, bacteria. Iron maintains optimal hemoglobin levels, even as it enhances fat metabolism. Iron is great for sugar metabolism; helps one get rid of nausea; supports the lungs. It also helps optimize the properties of different herbs, thus acting like a "yogavahi" – it helps carry and deliver herbs to their destination faster and more efficiently in the cellular system.
Yet another verse explains:
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.21.16
This verse says that iron can be as fierce as a lion when ridding the body of herpes. Iron can help with chronic pain conditions, supports the liverbody's inner vitality, and addresses chronic inflammatory conditions. It can help with several liver disease conditions. It also helps with hemorrhoids.
Another verse says:
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.25.07
This verse explains that iron helps with chronic problems of absorption, chronic inflammation of the glands in the neck. In addition, it supports the menstrual flow, and pacifies inflammation in the kidneys. Iron supports the heart, and helps the body fight combat chronic fever.
In verse number 89, we read that:
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.26.31
This verse explains that iron is good for diabetic conditions, that it supports and nourishes the
muscle tissue, and nurtures the female body against overall decay after childbirth.
Verse 90 says that:
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.29.21
This sutra explains that iron helps heal the throat, helps with rheumatoid arthritis. It can also have a healing effect on liver related fistulas, when used in combination with different proper herbs. Iron can help heal sinusitis, and hyperacidity.
In verse 92, we read that:
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.31.12
During puberty, iron can help go with hormonal balance, allowing for a smoother puberty, in terms of the menstrual cycle. It can also be used to help support and heal the duodenum, and balance the flow of blood.
Verse 93 says that: iron helps blood supply to the nerves, it helps give better deeper sleep for anemics, it supports the bone tissue in rheumatoid arthritis individuals, and helps maintain the bone tissue by supporting the detox of amavisha, or virulent toxins from it.
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.33.00
Even more, in verse 94, we read that it helps relieve fatigue from the body, enhances overall mental strength, supports hemoglobin levels for women in menopause, specially if there is significant blood loss during menopause.
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.34.27
In verse 95, we read that iron helps with imbalances created by the weakness of the nervous system.
Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.35.39
And there are still many more verses covering the benefits of iron for the human physiology, when it is used properly, and with the synergisticbhring raj
combination of other ayurvedic herbs.
You will also have noticed that these ancient verses list all the possible benefits of iron, specially all the ones modern medicine has also delineated for us. In my SVA lineage, we use iron in combination with distinct additional ayurvedic herbs, for added benefit as well as for targeting distinct conditions and situations. Currently, I have made available a total of 4 kinds of iron Herbal Memory Nectar drops, to address the general deficiency of iron, as well as for advanced specific needs.
SVA Loha and Maha Loha Herbal Memory Nectar Drops
The first two are SVA Loha and Maha Loha, These are identical formulas, except that Maha Loha carries a four times higher quantity or concentration of iron molecules than the regular version, made specifically for those who need the higher concentration. The following herbs are also added to enhance the absorption and delivery of the iron molecules. In addition to loha, these
formulas contain the following ingredient-wise properties:
Bhring raj (Eclipta alba) is a famous ayurvedic herb that helps enhance the intelligence of the liver and thus supports the physiology so it can properly metabolize and use iron.
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) I add so as to enhance the intelligence of the iron molecules to be delivered to the bone marrow.
Bhumi amla (Phyllantus niruri) to nourish and enhance the intelligence of liver
Mahasudarshan churn is a classical formula that contains a great number of different ingredients. It supports the intelligence of the liver as well as the detox of the liver.
Green cardamom pods (Cardamomum) to enhance the efficacy of iron.
Wild amla (Phyllantus emblica) enhances to absorption of the iron molecules, and secures their delivery into the muscle tissue
Triphala is made up of Amla (Phyllantus emblica), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and Bhibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica). I add this to prevent from the common possible side effect of iron: constipation.
SVA Amla Loha
This specific formula is called "Dhatri Loha" in classical Ayurveda. The word "dhatri" is almost identified with the name amla, because of the healthbestowing properties of the fruit. The literal meaning of "dhatri" is: that which gives, that which takes care of, that which is – in its Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.49.30giving nature – like a nurturing, sustenance-giving, woman! In this formula the amla is added in very high potency to enhance the absorption and use of iron, and give it the potency of heme iron. Scientific studies have confirmed the ancient ayurvedic knowledge which states that in the presence of ascorbic acid, the potency and delivery of iron becomes as powerful as heme iron. However, the embellic acid contained in the amla plant is even more potent than ascorbic acid, and it empowers the iron even further. In addition, amla enhances protein synthesis, so this protein synthesis property of amla, synergistically combined with iron, acts as a highly nurturing formulation for the muscle tissue. I have also added DGL in good quantity in the formula to help pacify and keep overall pitta of the liver and stomach in check.
SVA Guduchi Loha
Guduchi is a very famous herb used to enhance and support the intelligence of all seven physical bodily tissues. It is ideal when used for targeted delivery to the bone marrow. Countless scientific studies have also found that Guduchi can boost the immune system. Guduchi is a very balanced herb for nurturing and detoxifying, so in this formula along with iron, I've synergistically added enough quantities of guduchi, so that the micromolecules of iron can reach the bone marrow. In addition, ginger, "pippali," and black pepper together make up a very ancient Screenshot 2015-08-03 12.49.46formula called "trikatu." Trikatu is the best "yogavahi," a product or herb that facilitates targeted delivery for greater faster effectiveness. I have
also added a SVA formulation called "Soma Shakti" to these drops. This is a classical formula whose main ingredient is shilajeet
