Honey has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, Greece, China, India and countless other cultures, honey has been seen as a cure for colds, infections and allergies.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Rise Above Health Blog) - Honey is natural and considered harmless for adults. But The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and pediatricians strongly caution against feeding honey to children under 1 year old. This is because of the risk of botulism. The spores of the botulism bacteria live in the dust, soil, air and may be present in honey. Infants under 1 year of age do not have a developed immune system and may become ill with botulism.
The National Honey Board, which the USDA oversees, also agrees that infants should not be given honey. "The concern for babies stems from the fact that infants lack the fully developed gastrointestinal tract of older humans," the Board's web site states.
The use of honey as a household treatment for various illnesses is growing in popularity. And recent studies are starting to lean in the favor of honey over conventional medical treatment for wound care.
In 2007 the FDA approved the use of "Medical Honey" for would healing. Medical honey is purified with ultraviolet light and gamma irradiated to inactivate any possible spores that can cause botulism.
Studies have shown that Medical Honey works differently than antibiotics. Antibiotics attack the cell membrane of the bacteria, or inhibit intracellular pathways. Honey dehydrates the bacteria because it is hygroscopic, which literally means it absorbs moisture.
The average pH of honey is 3.9, but can range from 3.4 to 6.1. Bacteria prefers to grow in environments with a pH of >7.3. It has been demonstrated that when wounds pH is lower or more acidic, the healing process has been faster. [1,2]
I could go on about the oxygen off-loading from hemoglobin and the suppression of protease, but the bottom line is honey is acidic and bacteria does not like to grow in acidic environment.

Liberty Task Force Nearing Tier III!
UPDATE ON OUR FLEET: Our 7 day countdown to our Shipyard Tier III has begun. We filled the entire project in one day. Why is this so significant? Because the fleet was established on April 28th, 2013 with no members to the roster and at Tier 0. Two months and two days later we will have our Tier III Shipyard. After that we will be working on our Communcations Array III, Industrial Fabricator III, and Transwarp III and of course afterwards Starbase Tier III. We have also begun our Embassy Tier II projects as well.
This is not a post to brag but rather a testament to the dedication and activity levels of our so called "new" fleet. We are currently still strongly recruiting new members both veteran and new. We are still looking to fill some of our admin/officer positions with knowledgable and active players that want the role.
As always, if you are interested visit our very active website at
or you can e-mail me directly at
any time. Also, feel free to friend me in-game at Grayfox@GrayfoxJames. We really hope you'll join us on our journey to STO greatness
as we have some great future plans for this fleet.
Thank you all so much for your time and especially to the old veteran fleets that supported our new fleet with kind posts and words.
Best Regards,
-Jose a.k.a. Grayfox

Still almost half of all people born end up dying of malnutrition right now. It is good to see progress but hardly anything to feel too happy about.
"God cannot appear to these hungry people in any form except in the form of bread". Countries and global citizens should join hands to eradicate hunger and prove that humans are social animals not animals(who don't care for others). http://businessnbeyond.blogspot.com/
reasons Why Sub-Saharan and African nations are suffering so much:
1.)The are involved in lot of domestic conflicts - civil wars (with an estimated average cost of $64bn each) or coups.
2.)They are rich in Natural Resource and have to rely on natural resources which stifle other economic activity and lead to bad governance and coups/conflict.
3.)Landlocked with Bad Neighbors(case with Congo and many others). These poor landlocked countries with poor neighbors find it almost impossible to tap into world economic growth.
4.)Bad Governance poor policies have destroyed these economies with alarming speed.
Hunger in north Korea have increased all credit to Kin Jong II and his family which have systematically neglected their citizens basic requirements. With a total GDP of just $28 billion North Korea is tumbling.Health expenditure per citizen is just 50 cents a year of late in July they were hit by a famine.
Let me see if I got it right: all countries in white are defined as "industrialized", where hunger is a non-issue.
Been to the south of the US lately?
China, India, meet Malthus.
I live in the south. No hunger here to speak of. Have you ever heard of food stamps? Welfare? they pay for all the food.
again, come here to the south, and drive around the poor places. i dare you. you will see that 80% of the people are overweight, and 20% are above average. no hunger here to speak of.
in fact, people here abuse food stamps to buy drugs and condoms.
real hunger exists in those third world countries not capable of feeding themselves.
1) Congrats to Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic for being considered industrialized. Better luck next time Baltics and Slovakia!
2) "There is no hunger in the Soviet Union."
3) What the hell happened in Comoros?!
Too funny! I love it. Slovakia is on the Euro, but not part of the industrialized world. Funny that. I can barely tell... but is Greece white or gray...?
Grey doesn't mean that a country is not industrialized. it just means that there is no (or at least insufficient) data to say anything useful. Far better to have a report which actually acknowledges that there is a limit to the data available.
This is what I was suspecting. Despite all the sensationalism and gloom our media love to spread, mankind *is* progressing.
In reality this is a much more important indicator than the size of nuclear arsenals, political quarrels, power struggles, racism, religious hatred and all other other bad things that is spoiling our news picture and lives.
What does "industrialized" mean nowadays anyway? Should change that term when referring to "developed countries", I think.
In any case, Venezuela, where I'm from, seems to have improved according to this chart, which is sadly funny. This particular case makes me feel this chart has no credibility.
The article text says that the data is from some time before 2008, but gives no more details. How about telling us when this data was collected? The graphic is captioned "Global hunger index 2010" - which is a little misleading if the data is at least 3 years old.
It's kind of intriguing/dissapointing why most of the people in this forum commented more about the label "industrialised countries" or reasons for poverty to rise... than reasons to how the "green" countries lower their population under hunger without having sustained GNI/per-capita growth in all those years.
i.e. Mexico and Brasil started "conditional transfer" programs to take population out of poverty cycles with huge success, even when both faced important crisis in the 90s.
IMHO the most important lesson of the chart comes from the countries in green color than the ones in red or gray.
Hunger in north Korea have increased all credit to China. If China did not interfere during Korean war, there will be no North Korea. Thus no famine in North Korea.
We Give Thanks To The Brilliant And Great War Leader Kim Jong-Il For This Glorious Increase In Hunger.
Why were there hungry people in Kuwait?
I find your map very perplexing. First of all, the colour scheme is quite unfortunate. The colours suggest bad news for hunger everywhere, except for a few green patches. However, upon closer inspection it is clear that the only bad colours are the deep red ones - the lighter shades of red actually represent decreases and not increases, as was my initial impression. Also, the map does not relate very well to the text. The text discussed the countries with alarming hunger scores above 25, most of which are in sub-sarahan African. However, if one stops to study the map for more than a few seconds, it is clear that hunger has decreased in almost all countries, including almost all countries in Africa. Why does it feel like I'm reading an undergraduate's essay?
New Zealand is not even shown on the map. Also Australia should be hatched in its own colour for undeveloped nations
It is considered low to talk about food.
The fact is: they have
Already eaten.
- Brecht
This information is interesting, but I think it distorts several dimensions of the issue with food and hunger by not setting it in a relational context. As mentioned, hunger also has to be seen in relation to the obesity epidemic in affluent nations, but not reduced to simplistic notions of greed. An obese American can suffer as much from consequences of the structural conditions of their own context as a hungry person in the Congo. We also need to set this in relation to industrialised food production and most importantly, the effect of globalised food trading: the recent global food crisis was as much a crisis of food pricing than availability.
Further more this has to be set in relation to the consequences the are set to arrive in the not to distant future. Climate change will change the nature of agriculture, but it will also fold into the effects of increasing water shortages, and the political-geographic consequences of nations such as China already buying up agricultural land in Africa to feed their future population.
These are relatively superficial comments, but there are a few points to be made. Firstly, is that food is yet to be acknowledged as an issue more serious than simple commodity trading. It is fundamental to human sustainment, and folds into so many aspects of health, ecology, economics, security etc. The second is that solutions will not arrive in the form of discrete scientific breakthroughs. On the contrary this kind of agenda delays a confrontation with the real origins of food crises, which are structural and political. Until governments, states, the international community and individuals with the power to act confront this we will continue to await a deteriorating future condition that will exacerbate already existing suffering and inequality.

2096 Tasting Notes
This time, I'm getting marshmallow. This was a really nice cup of this tea. Bright orange, rich chocolate, sweet fluffy marshmallow, all on a tasty, interesting base tea. Thanks again to MissB for a sample of this one!
Flavors: Chocolate, Orange Zest
Thanks to OMGsrsly for sending over a sample of this one. I have to admit, I've been avoiding it a little bit because puerhs, especially flavored puerhs, still scare me a little bit. But I have a bit of a stomach ache and figured now was as good a time as any to go for it. :)
Well color me impressed. Not only does this tea actually smell good to me (so rare with puerh), it tastes even better. Sweet and nutty and really quite tasty. It doesn't read as distinctly strawberry, but more like a berry and hazelnut tart. The puerh does have a breadiness, but it could also be described as a pastry flavor. I am amazed. I enjoy it more the more I drink it. This may be the only puerh I've rated in the 90s. Thanks so much for sharing, OMGsrsly!
Note: actually 1.5 tsp for 12oz.
Flavors: Baked Bread, Berries, Nuts
One of the last of my teas to try from MissB! Thanks so much again for all of them.
When I smelled this one as it was brewing and immediately afterward, I really did not think eggnog. I've been sipping at it a bit as it cools to drinkable temperature, and I have to say it is definitely filling the creamy niche. There is something familiar about the flavor here but I can't quite place it. Not really eggnog, but maybe the added spices. A creamy, spiced thing going on here. Not getting any "spiked" about this, but that's ok. As it cools, bitterness from the black tea is becoming more prevalent unfortunately. Still, the rest of the flavors are pretty tasty; if only it had a better-quality tea base! :)
Flavors: Cream
I have OMGsrsly to thank for this sample, although at the leaf to water ratio that is recommended it is more than just a sample! I drink 12oz cups of tea at work, so I estimated about 0.75 tsp for my cup (recommended: 1 tsp for 16oz).
This is an interesting tea. It is decidedly not a typical Earl Grey Cream, although it contains those flavors. The flavors were fairly subtle in this one, and although I wouldn't call the cup weak, I will probably try this with a bit more leaf before rating it. The bergamot had a sweetish, cookie-type quality (that probably only I actually associate with cookies, haha), which was accentuated by the vanilla. At the same time, the vanilla was pretty laid back and not overwhelmingly creamy. Very interesting tea! Glad I have enough of it to experiment with.
Well crap, safari crashed on my iPad and I lost my tasting note. Thanks to MissB for this tea!
Long story short: this is a tasty citrusy herbal blend. The main flavors I'm getting are lemongrass, pomelo, and the sweetness from the licorice root. I like it and would drink it again!
I was thrilled to see some of this in my package from MissB. I had wanted to try this but it was sold out when I did my last Verdant order. This is definitely interesting, and easy to see the Laoshan green tea bones in this tea. To me there is more of the dragonwell-style to this than the regular Laoshan green (more buttery, I think) but it's been a while since I've had either. There is a hint of sweetness that lingers on the palate afterward. It isn't really floral like a Tieguanyin, but it's got a bit more heft to it than the regular Laoshan green tea. I do really enjoy this tea and I'm so glad I finally got to try it.
If it seems like I am drinking all samples these days, well, I am. I'm grateful for all the samples folks have sent me lately (including this one, a surprise from MissB!), but I'm trying to drink down all the samples before I embark on an epic journey in which I drink every tea in my cupboard (trying not to repeat any) from oldest to newest.
Flavors: Butter, Green Beans
Another sample thanks to MissB! I do like the flavor pretty well on this one… it's lightly sweet, a touch creamy, a bit cinnamon-spicy. However, there is something in the blend that is making the back of my throat itch just after I swallow. It is fairly unpleasant. Don't know what it could be, but I'm sorry I won't be able to finish the cup.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Vanilla
I did a cold brew of the rest of this one. It was INTENSE and I thought maybe too intense, but surprisingly I drank the entire thing. Very fruity, but somehow not overwhelming. It could probably be diluted even more and still be super flavorful. Definitely tasty.
Holy tea scum! The top of this tea after brewing looks a bit gross, to be perfectly honest. Way too many dissolvable items in this, I would guess. There is a layer of oil droplets and another of some other solids, and when I move the cup they jiggle disconcertingly in different directions.
Honestly I kinda didn't want to try it after that but I did anyway. It tastes like weak black tea with melted chocolate and caramel in it. It's not bad tasting, but it's not really good either. I guess these DTTs are generally not for me. Sorry it didn't work out for me MissB, but thanks anyway for the sample!

I'm in the 35th year of my cartooning internship!
Today was Meet The Bee Interns day, and, man, did I feel old.
Not that I'm old, of course. I'm 52, and, with medical technology what it is today, I feel very confident that I will survive long enough to see Social Security disappear and replaced with the Mortgage-Backed Security System (I am doing a lot of mortgage-backed security humor this week). This is why I have encouraged all my children, who are 19, 22, and 25 respectively, to save up for my retirement by stockpiling canned food and ammo.
The Bee interns are all around 20 years old, give or take, and, hence old enough to be my children. All of them have impressive academic and journalistic backgrounds; way more impressive than mine. This is why their souls must be crushed early so that baby boomer journalists can hold on to their jobs deep into Chelsea Clinton's second term in the White House.
When I was introduced, our managing editor, Scott Lebar, mentioned the great Washington Post cartoonist Herblock, who I knew slightly (I was also mentioned in his autobiography in an anecdote about my own youthful inexperience). The assembled interns had never heard of him. Not their fault. I suppose if, in 1980, someone was going on about the great cartoonists of 1944, I might have drawn a blank, too. Of course, Herblock was also one of the great cartoonists of 1944. That's how long he worked.
Herb died in his job at 89, which, according to my own calculations, puts me leaving The Bee in 2050 or so, which is fine by me. I need to talk to HR about it, but I'm certain they'll be accommodating.
Being reminded that one is no longer of intern age is a bit jarring, but it was also great to be able to impart lots of wisdom, like there were over 200 cartoonists at newspapers when I started, and now it's me and six other people. As your age, your official Sense of Humor Framework changes. For example, my really amusing Watergate imitations used to kill at the Rotary, and now I might as well be doing Teapot Dome satire.
Time flies when you're having entropy.
Our interns are all enthusiastic about the future, and meeting them made feel like thinking extra hard today about working out this weekend, making sure my hair is the right shade of orange, and honing all my jokes about Jay-Z.
He's a singer, right? Like Barry Manilow?
I'm starting to understand what Herblock felt like: a DC-3 in a 787 world.
For all of you born in 1992, Google DC-3.
For the rest of you, help me with these propellers. We can still fly!

Large Fennel Plant in Veggie Garden
I have a really beautiful large fennel plant in the veggie garden that attracted tons of beneficial insects in the summer. I'm not worried about it being a bad companion plant because I have an abundance of space in the vegetable garden so I can plant other plants elsewhere.
My question is, I know its a perennial so why not just cut it back and enjoy its beauty next spring? If I take it out this fall won't it take a long time to start from scratch (by seed) to grow another spectacular plant? I'm not growing it for the bulbs, just for looks and beneficial insects at this point. Thanks for any advice..
I you have the space I see no reason at all to dig it up. You wouldn't do that with the perennials in the flower garden would you? I have a clump of bronze fennel on my allotment which has been there for years.
One tip. Fennel grows a long tap root so even quite small plants are hard to pull up. Your fennel will almost certainly self seed so you need to pull up the babies as soon as possible.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - The social doctrine of the Catholic Church undeniably puts great emphasis on the free market as a valuable, indeed "irreplaceable" economic and social institution. (Compendium, No. 349) Drawing largely from John Paul II's encyclical Centesimus annus, the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church is bullish on the free market and supports it as the best general means to assure proper allocation of scarce economic resources, of achieving economic efficiency, and of benefiting the common good.
The free market is an institution of social importance because of its capacity to guarantee effective results in the production of goods and services. Historically, it has shown itself able to initiate and sustain economic development over long periods. There are good reasons to hold that, in many circumstances, "the free market is the most efficient instrument for utilizing resources and effectively responding to needs."
The Church's social doctrine appreciates the secure advantages that the mechanisms of the free market offer, making it possible as they do to utilize resources better and facilitating the exchange of products. These mechanisms "above all . . . give central place to the person's desires and preferences, which, in a contract, meet the desires and preferences of another person." (Compendium, No. 347) (quoting Centesimus annus, 34, 40).
The Compendium continues: "A truly competitive market is an effective instrument for attaining important objectives of justice: moderating the excessive profits of individual businesses, responding to consumers' demands, bringing about a more efficient use and conservation of resources, rewarding entrepreneurship and innovation, making information available so that it is really possible to compare and purchase products in an atmosphere of healthy competition." (Compendium, No. 347)
The free market, then, is generally the best means to achieve a number of desirable economic and social ends, and is justified as an institution to be promoted precisely because of these ends it achieves so efficiently. When the free market carries out these functions "it becomes a service to the common good and to integral human development." The free market, in fact, is precisely valued and judged because of the ends it achieves," and it is the market's social utility--and not the market itself independent of its ends since it is but an instrumental good--that justify it. The free market is a means to an end, in particular, the means to the promotion of the common good, where it finds its value and justification. (Compendium, No. 348)
For the same reason, therefore, the free market is only justified to the extent that it achieves these ends, as the "free market cannot be judged apart from the ends that it seeks to accomplish and from the values that it transmits on a societal level." (Compendium, No. 348)
For all its value, the free market ought not to be confused with a lawless or moral-less market. Nor should the free market be thought as all encompassing, so that all human goods are thought as commodities. We shall review briefly these two limits on the free market.
The free market must operate within certain moral, institutional, and legal norms, or else it becomes something other than a free market. The free market is not an autonomous, free-for-all area exempt from moral law or from the hand of positive law. The market must always be protected and kept free, and it must be safeguarded from those who would seek to use it wrongly, whether by fraud, manipulation, abuse of economic power, or monopolization. It operates within the Rule of Law.
To "safeguard the prerequisites of a free economy" and the benefits of a free market, the State has the "fundamental task" of "determining an appropriate" legal and juridical framework "for regulating economic affairs." This includes assuring "individual freedom and private property, as well as a stable currency and efficient public services." (Compendium, No. 352)
Importantly, the State's role in assuring freedom of markets must not be one where it tries to "direct economic and social policies" and "become abusively involved in the various market activities," and become "authoritarian--or worse, totalitarian" in its supervisory and regulatory role. Wherever State power becomes involved, however, such actions "must be consistent with the principle of subsidiarity." (Compendium, No. 351)
In some extraordinary cases, where the market has clearly failed or does not obtain for whatever reason (e.g., a natural disaster, an economic depression, or some other aberration), the State--again consistent with the principle of subsidiarity--may have a role in "stimulating those [business] activities where they are lacking," by "supporting them in moments of crisis," or by intervention when "monopolies create delays or obstacles to development." In "exceptional circumstances," and for limited time, even "exercise a substitute function." (Compendium, No. 351)
Though there are times government intervention is required, there is a great danger to economic freedom that is posed by an overly-interventionist State, since invariably the prescriptions of the State end up being guided by "bureaucratic logic" and governed by burgeoning "public agencies." Therefore, any State or public intervention "must be carried out with equity, rationality, and effectiveness, and without replacing the action of individuals, which would be contrary to their right to the free exercise of economic initiative." (Compendium, No. 354)
In general, the free market and the governing bodies of the State ought not to be viewed as competitors seeking to occupy the same realm, but as cooperators in the same aim:
"It is necessary for the market and the State to act in concert, one with the other, and to complement each other mutually. In fact, the free market can have a beneficial influence on the general public only when the State is organized in such a manner that it defines and gives direction to economic development, promoting the observation of fair and transparent rules, and making direct interventions--only for the length of time strictly necessary--when the market is not able to obtain the desired efficiency and when it is a question of putting the principle of redistribution into effect. There exist certain sectors in which the market, making use of the mechanisms at its disposal, is not able to guarantee an equitable distribution of the goods and services that are essential for the human growth of its citizens. In such cases the complementarities of State and market are needed more than ever." (Compendium, No. 353)
Finally, there are some human goods that simply are not commodities to be traded as if they were pork bellies. Well does the Church state that there are goods that "'by their nature are not and cannot be mere commodities,' goods that cannot be bought and sold according to the rule of the 'exchange of equivalents' and the logic of contracts which are typical of the market." (Compendium, No. 349) (quoting Centesimus annus, 40) These include "collective goods and goods meant for common utilization." (Compendium, No. 356) Marriage contracts, orphans, human corpses or organs, the freedom of religion or free speech ought not to be traded as if they were consumer goods.

Crist draws criticism over Fla. oil spill response
Published: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 2:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 2:30 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE - Republican and Democratic politicians alike say newly independent Gov. Charlie Crist and Florida's tourism agency haven't done enough to counteract misperceptions about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
At a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, state Sen. Don Gaetz questioned why Florida hasn't deployed $25 million from BP PLC to promote the fact its beaches are unaffected.
The Niceville Republican said the few ads the state has run don't focus on the Panhandle, which has suffered the most tourism losses due to unfounded fears about the spill.
Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, a Democrat, agreed with Gaetz.
Crist said it's easy to point fingers and that BP money cannot be used until it arrives — possibly later Tuesday.

July 31, 2011 / Posted by ChainsDD / Translators
Superuser relies on you, the users, to translate it into your native language. I only speak English (American English, that is), so I need as many people out there that speak English, as well as another language to help get it translated. Currently, all translation happens on crowdin.net, a collaborative translation project. If you have the time, and can help with the translating, please sign up over on crowdin.net and translate some strings for me. The Superuser project page is located here, and the strings are for Superuser 3.0.
Current languages and the crowdin users that have helped translate it (If you're on this list and want to be credited differently, send me a message on crowdin and I'll update this page):
Český (Czech) [cs] – robot_honza (19%)
Dansk (Danish) [da] – Mikael Jepsen, Hooolm (100%)
Deutsch (German) [de] – burnedx420, Slotte, sven daw, p666 (100%)
English (United Kingdom) [en-rGB] – Kyrillos13 (27%)
Español (Spanish) [es-rES] – Shaymelmed, nephos, wapmap (99%)
Français (French) [fr] - Keramidas (90%)
Italiano (Italian) [it] – fireb33, rascarlo plus, Z3t4 Apps, markop (100%)
Magyar (Hungarian) [hu] – fonix232 (99%)
Nederlands (Dutch) [nl] – JeroenTheMoon, Arya Ghodsi, tomgreep, jorim_ielemans (100%)
Polski (Polish) [pl] – nikotine, mike1986 (100%)
Português (Portugal) (Portuguese) [pt-rPT] – Rubemlrm, Pedro Andreso, Diogo Ferreira (88%)
Português (Brasil) (Brazilian Portuguese) [pt-rBR] – lfforman, Brandon Hilgeman (90%)
Română (Romanian) [ro] - Nobel Kartz, blackdeath, liviuf (100%)
Slovenčina (Slovak) [sk] – Matrix44, Viktor (100%)
Suomalainen (Finnish) [fi] – Patrick Selin (95%)
Svenska (Swedish) [sv-rSE] – Martin H (14%)
Türkçe (Turkish) [tr] – no translator yet (0%)
ελληνικά (Greek) [el] – Kyrillos13, Efstratios Xakoustosn (77%)
Pусский (Russian) [ru] – Dmitriy Briskin, ArtemK, Ruslan Abylkassov (100%)
한국어 (Korean) [ko] – Sungmin Kim, Young Min Kim (100%)
中国 (Chinese Simplified) [zh-rCN] – xiaoli (7%)
中國 (Chinese Traditional) [zh-rTW] – fenghaigang (52%)
日本 (Japanese) [ja] – Taichi Nishimura (100%)
As you can see, there are still plenty of holes to be filled, and there are still loads of languages that aren't supported at all. I can add support for just about any language you want, if I'm going to be able to get a translator to do it.
So please, if you know one of the languages listed here and want to help, sign up on crowdin and translate some strings. Even if someone is already translating it, it won't hurt to go in and look over their translations.
That's what collaboration is all about, after all. If you know a language that's not listed here and want Superuser translated into it, let me know and I'll add it to the project.
