  • White Whale, Called “Old Tom,” Who Fought Back E? Against the Whalemen Who Were Trying to Kill Him for His Oil
    A White n 1834 author Ralph Waldo Emerson was traveling W Ithrough Boston in a carriage. A sailor sitting beside him told h an extraordinary story. For many years the people of New Eng- al land knew of a white whale, called “Old Tom,” who fought back e? against the whalemen who were trying to kill him for his oil. Emerson wrote that this white whale “crushed the boats to small but covered in white patches, spots, and scratches. The white chips in his jaws, the men generally escaping by jumping over- whale that Reynolds described, however, might have been an al- board & being picked up.” The sailor explained that bino, meaning it was born without the normal pigment the whalemen eventually caught Old Tom in in its skin. Though rare, white or colorless individuals the Pacific Ocean, off Peru. occur in most animals, including birds, chimpanzees, Five years later, Jeremiah elephants, and humans. It seems that Amos Smalley, a Reynolds wrote a magazine ar- Native American whaler from Martha’s Vineyard, killed ticle about a sailor in the Pacific a white sperm whale in the South Atlantic in 1902. A few who said he had killed a white years ago, the author and adventurer, Tim Severin, wrote about a whale. This white whale was not white sperm whale witnessed by Pacific Islanders. At least two dif- called Old Tom but was known as ferent white sperm whales have been photographed in the Pacific, “Mocha Dick,” combining the name as have an albino whale shark and, just this winter, a white killer of a local island off Chile, Mocha Is- whale.

  • Medical Science of Milk Included in Celsus' Treatise De Medicina
    Studia Ceranea 6, 2016, p. 323–353 ISSN: 2084-140X DOI: 10.18778/2084-140X.06.17 e-ISSN: 2449-8378 Maciej Kokoszko (Łódź) Jolanta Dybała (Piotrków Trybunalski) Medical Science of Milk Included in Celsus’ Treatise De medicina ilk has always been a very significant food product in the Mediterranean1 M(but also in other regions of the ancient world2). Thus, it comes as no sur- prise that ancient and Byzantine physicians devoted their research to this subject3. It is commonly believed that fresh milk was quite rare in everyday diet of those times, whereas its derivative – namely cheese – was consumed much more fre- quently. This general production-consumption pattern survived the Antiquity and was equally characteristic of the early Middle Ages4. 1 For the areas initially untouched by the Greek culture, and later by the Roman culture, cf.

  • A Descriptive Overview of the Medical Uses Given to Mentha Aromatic Herbs Throughout History
    biology Review A Descriptive Overview of the Medical Uses Given to Mentha Aromatic Herbs throughout History Henrique Silva 1,2 1 Informetrics Research Group, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 758307, Vietnam; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Pharmacy, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City 758307, Vietnam Received: 20 November 2020; Accepted: 8 December 2020; Published: 21 December 2020 Simple Summary: Mints are aromatic herbs with a millenary tradition of use for diverse medicinal purposes since ancient civilizations, and they are still presently used in different clinical practices. Mints have been used since ancient Babylon, but it was in Classical Antiquity that their medical uses flourished, with major contributions from Pliny the Elder. In the Middle Ages, the increased knowledge surrounding mints came from Byzantine physicians, while, in the Modern Age, technological developments allowed the production of mint-based products, such as extracts and essential oils, which have become part of elaborate galenic formulas employed by an increasing number of physicians, and have also stimulated both scientific and artistic interests alike. In present-day medicine, several mints and mint-based products are being researched as potential therapeutic alternatives for many diseases, while also being vastly employed in food and cosmetic industries. Abstract: Mints have been among the most widely used herbs for medicinal purposes since ancient civilizations. They are still presently used for numerous purposes, including non-medicinal, which makes them economically relevant herbs. Information regarding the medical and scientific uses given to mints throughout history are vastly scattered and/or incomplete. The aim of this paper is to provide an extensive descriptive overview of the medical uses given to these herbs, highlighting both the authors in medical culture responsible for their dissemination, as well as their major galenic formulations.

  • Critter Class Beavers
    Critter Class Beavers Happy Beaver by Stevehdc December 5, 2011 MVK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X0y8hg4s-w Comment: Yea! Leave it to Beavers!! Comment: I LOVE Beavers. So cute. Comment: I like that video. It was closed captioned for the hearing impaired. HEEEEEE HEEEEE MVK: YAHOOOOOO MVK: The beaver is North America's largest rodent. Adult beavers normally weigh 40 to 50 pounds, but exceptionally large animals may weigh up to 80 pounds. They range in length from 35 to 50 inches, including the tail, which normally is about 10 inches long. Beavers have short legs, strong digging claws on the front feet, and large, powerful, webbed hind feet used for swimming. The broad, scaly, paddle-like tail is used as a rudder when the beaver swims, and also helps steady the beaver when it stands on its hind feet. Although beavers communicate principally by using whines, grunts, hisses, and a variety of nasal sounds, they will slap the surface of the water with the tail as a warning to alert other beavers of potential danger. The tail also acts as a storage organ for accumulated fat to be used as a reserve energy source during the wintertime. Per Virginia Cooperative Extension - Va Tech MVK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXwNE7x_WVk&feature=related Comment: The beaver appears to have the same face as the porcupine. Are they related? Thanks. Comment: Hi MVK! I don't think I'd want to meet up with a 90 pound beaver! Wow! Critter Class – Beavers 1 12/5/2011 MVK: Beavers are known for their natural trait of building dams on rivers and streams, and building their homes (known as "lodges") in the resulting pond.
