  • Black Ball Line History
    Editor’s Note: This history may be reprinted, in full or part, with permission. Historical pictures are also available. Please contact Ryan Malane or Ginger Vaughan. Black Ball: 200 Years Strong In 2018, the Black Ball flag celebrates 200 years in maritime operation. Since 1818, ships have proudly flown the Black Ball flag—displayed as a black “ball” on a red background. Today, the flag is flown on the mast of the MV COHO, serving the run from Port Angeles to Victoria. What lies in between is a story of family riches, international fame, and astonishing ingenuity that helped build the modern world. BLACK BALL’S BEGINNING CHANGES EVERYTHING Prior to 1818, ships sailed on their own schedule, waiting until their holds were full. This left passengers and freight to languish in port—sometimes for weeks— until the ship was ready to depart. The Black Ball Line changed all of that. Its founders, a group of New York Quakers, had a profoundly simple, but game- changing idea: scheduled service. While the modern traveler probably couldn’t imagine not having a set time for departure, the Black Ball Line, with its fleet of trans-Atlantic packet ships, signaled the first-time ships left port on a specific date. On January 5, 1818, the James Monroe—one of Black Ball Line’s famed ships—made the first scheduled departure from New York Harbor to Liverpool, England. The James Monroe and the other Black Ball ships of the period featured generous hold space for freight and were lavishly appointed for passengers with staterooms and common dining areas for first-class passengers, complete with whale-oil lanterns and silver service.

  • A Woman's Herbal Guide
    A Woman’s Herbal Guide an unpublished book by Gary J. Lockhart (1942–2001) © copyright 1989 by Gary J. Lockhart edited and PDF of part placed online by Arthur Lee Jacobson in 2007 INTRODUCTION “I am not yet so lost in lexicography, as to forget that words are the daughters of earth, and that things are the sons of heaven.” From the preface to Dr. Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary Somewhere in the dawn of human history, the first wise woman applied an herb to an injury and observed it stopped the bleeding and promoted faster healing. Six million years ago, the first humans left their remains in the Olduvai Gorge of Africa. The name “Olduvai” is an ancient African name for “Sansevieria,” a plant now growing in many American homes. The leaves of the Sansevieria are a popular African injury remedy, and the roots are chewed to cure hemorrhoids. Perhaps it was our first herb. The first medical lore came from observations of sick animals. We don’t trust our own innate wisdom, but we feel that the animals must know. At the time the Psalms of the bible were being written, the hymns of the Atharvaveda were being sung in India. This hymn expresses that belief: “Well doth the wild bear know a plant, the mongoose knows the healing herb. I call to aid this man, the plants which serpents and Gandharvas know. Plants of Angirases which hawks, celestial plants which eagles know. Plants known to swans and lesser fowl, plants known to all the birds that fly. Plants that are known to sylvan beasts, I call them all to aid this man.” The second source of early medicine came from the “doctrine of signatures.” A yellow plant was good for yellow diseases, and a red plant was needed to treat the blood.

  • A Quarterly of Criticism and Review $15 Poetry, Poetics, Criticism
    A Quarterly of Criticism and Review $15 Poetry, Poetics, Criticism 0. Oh? To your regular diet of technical or business material, add a little poetry. Wait please—don't stop reading this yet! I'm not suggesting this only to offer you the aesthetic and spiritual gifts of poetry. Poetry will help you write better memos, letters, and reports. (Cheryl Reimold, "Principles from Poetry. Part 1: Persuasion," Tappi Journal68.12 [1985]: 97; quoted from Tom Wayman's essay inside) Institutions of information fulfill the enthusiasm for solutions: But poetry is always something else.. .. Poetry is an expenditure of language "without goal," in fact a redundancy; a constant sacrifice to a sacrifice. It is possible that one should speak here about love, in other words about reality, or the probability of answering the sourceless echo—about respon- sibility. (Arkadii Dragomoschenko, Description, trans. Lyn Hejinian and Elena Balashova [Los Angeles: Sun & Moon, 1990], 20-21 ) 1. A First Chorus on Poetics —How to start? One way would be to admit there is no coming to terms with poetry, poetics, and criticism, and there is only coming to terms: etymologically, for example, which gives us "something made," "about something made" (peri poietikés, in Aristotle's phrase), and "judgment." —Very neat, but not very helpful: origins are hardly binding on posterity, which in any case usually has trouble locating them, and a term's meaning inevitably shifts over time. Semantic fields are no less worked over, expanded, abandoned, recolonised, enclosed, contested, and
