Street Child World Cup kicks off in Brazil
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Over the past two years, Methodist children and young people have been encouraging local churches to help raise £30,000 for the Street Child World Cup (SCWC) by organising fundraising events of their own.
In Bristol, young Methodists organised a fundraising event that was supported by the whole District. The Rev Ward Jones, District Chairman, volunteered to be gunked in a Cheshire cat onesie to raise money to sponsor two teams from Nicaragua – a girls' team and a boys' team – to take part in the tournament in Rio.
Tamara Wray, Methodist Youth President, said: "The Street Child World Cup really can change the lives of street children; the young people who participated in the SCWC in Durban in 2010 are now all working and living independently because of Casa Alianza. They all speak about the motivation and inspiration that they gained from the experience. This is why we, along with our Methodist volunteers who are in Rio helping out during the event, are proud to be backing the Street Child World Cup because no child should ever have to live or work on the streets."
The charity responsible for putting together the Nicaraguan teams is Casa Alianza. Through a holistic programme of sports, art, therapy, group sessions, education and spirituality, Casa Alianza not only provides a safe haven but also a place where these street children can equip themselves for a better life.
Roseanne Levermore is a One Programme participant for the Joint Public Issues Team of the Methodist, Baptist and United Reformed Churches. She will be one of a group of Methodists supporting Team Nicaragua in Rio today. "I am really looking forward to working with the Street Child World Cup and helping to run their 'Fringe' sessions in Rio," she said. "This is a really exciting part of the project that happens away from the football pitch in the evenings. The children and young people will be given a chance to reflect on the day, and a quiet space amongst the excitement of the tournament. My role within the fringe team is to coordinate the 'Relax' sessions. These involve yoga, art therapy, sign language to music, hair braiding, sewing, cooking, and practical classes including computer skills to name but a few."
Following the Street Child World Cup, the Methodist Church in Britain will continue to support the work of Casa Alianza in Nicaragua. Youth President Tamara Wray will take part in a 10 kilometre charity run on 1 June. "As people, we always look for the happy ending as this provides us with comfort," added Tamara. "The Street Child World Cup is not the happy ending: it's the beginning. So please support the SCWC and Casa Alianza in the fantastic work that they are doing."

....go ahead with the smart remarks!
Anyway, brewing a sweet stout tomorrow:
Will have Pale Malt, Black Patent, Chocolate Malt, and Crystal.
i would like to add flaked barley or flaked wheat or wheat malt or barley malt to help with the head......
Any advice on which is best for this type beer and how much (5.5 gallon batch)
EVERYONE is entitled to my opinion!
Primary #1: Fat Tire Clone
Primary #2: Oatmeal Stout
Primary #3: Empty
Upcoming Brews:
English Pale Ale
Biermuncher Centennail Blonde
I add a pound of wheat malt to many beers to help with head retention.
Without knowing your actual recipe, it's really difficult to make a recommendation on how much of something else to add (if anything). I would be more inclined to add flaked barley to the recipe if I was making it. I would also go for less than 1/2#. Another option could be to add a few ounces of cara-pils to the recipe.
Personally, I'd brew it without either addition first, and SEE how the head is on it. You can always brew it again and add something else for increased head retention (if needed).
Here's my sweet stout recipe, fwiw http://www.singingboysbrewing.com/sweet-stout.html
Here it is:
5.5 gallon
9 lbs -11 oz UK Pale Malt
15.5 oz Black patent
12 oz Crystal Malt (80L)
8 oz Chocolate malt
1 lb Lactose
Wyeast 1099 (Whitbread)
EK Goldings 1.33 oz (60 mins)
60 min Mash at 151F
This is a recipe by Jamil....from BYO magazine......scaled up from 5 gallons to 5.5 gallons
I think it might be smart to just do as is and see how head is (like Golddiggie suggests)....I was thinking on the order of 8 oz flaked barley....but maybe hold off and see.
BTW...Pappers, thanks for sharing your recipe
Do the original first, before messing around with it. Especially since it's a published recipe. After you have had it, you can adjust it IF needed.
Great advice....I will do that! Thanks for setting me straight

Hello everyone, my name is Chris I am from western new York. Very interested in rifle shooting, especially long range. I shoot a Remington sendero sf2 in a. 264 win mag with a Burris fullfield 2 6.5x20x50mm scope.
My first question for this forum is this, I want to put a adjustable cheek piece on my rifle but wanted to possibly hear some feedback on this before I start drilling holes for one in my stock. Is it possible with my stock? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Chris, Keep in mind that drilling holes is permanent.
There are different stock options available. I would pursue that avenue first.http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-forend-parts/rifle-stocks/index.htm?avs%7CMake~~Model_1=Remington__700

I agree with Dan. Among your options are getting different scope rings to lower your scope if you have the room to still clear the objective lens. There are also cheek pieces that strap onto the stock which would not permanently alter the gun.
i have to agree with Dan as well. there are multitudes of aftermarket stocks for the M700 platform in all ranges of price. surely there is something out there that will fit your needs.
if anything, purchase a used stock like yours and modify it, leaving your original one stock. that way you don't devalue the rifle with a bubbafied DIY stock.
I don't have any room to lower the rings, I got a cheek pad from black hawk but even tightened all the way down, it's loose, I'll have to keep looking around for different pads, didn't want to spend $400+ on a new stock but I'll look into used ones, thanks guys
Welcome to the forum, from Kalifornia.
Good luck with your rifle.
Always have clean socks.
Depending on how much extra comb height you need Beretta sells a stick on gel pad that actually sticks without screwing up wood stocks in two thicknesses. I have one. It can be ordered on Beretta's website under accessories.
Maybe something like this? By Bradley.
Or these?
Go to the drug store and buy one of those cloth elasticized arm or wrist bands, Cut foam pieces the appropriate size to fit under it and slip it over the butt. I've done this and it worked well for around $6.00.

Gracie's forgiving heart
Sometimes I see things in Tunica County that stop me dead in my tracks. It no longer matters that I have an appointment and I am already running late. It no longer matters that I have a business to open promptly at 9 a.m. All that matters at that moment is trying to deal with the situation at hand. That is the way I felt the first time I saw Gracie and her little puppy. The sheer hopelessness of their situation took me to my knees. I truly pray that my heart never hardens to the point where I am not moved by another's suffering.

King William IV
One of London's oldest gay pubs, the King William IV in Hampstead has been a gay hangout since the 1930s. There's a good mixture of clientele, many of whom pop in for a few drinks after a walk on nearby Hampstead Heath. You'll often find a long queue outside for the adjacent crepe stall (also highly recommended!).

This is the main pub on Hampstead High Street, it's quite big, a few different rooms and a pretty big beer garden round the side. I've only been in here once during the day and it was really quiet.

From one mother to another
Adoptive mom thanks her son's biological mother for giving her the child she could never have
A child just wasn't in the cards for Rachel and Albert Hernandez. Nothing seemed to be going their way. First it was major medical roadblocks. Then depression and separation got in the way.
At least that is what the Naples couple used to think.
Rachel was only 12 the first time she saw 17-year-old Albert at a youth church function. It was love at first sight for the dark-haired Puerto Rican beauty.
"He saw me as a little girl," said Hernandez, now 35, from her Naples home. "So we became best friends during our youth. We kept in touch while he was serving in the Marines. Once he was discharged, we saw each other for the first time in four years, and that's when he fell in love with me."
It was a fairy tale come true. Rachel married the man of her dreams on April 4, 1998. They had talked about the kids they wanted before they got married.
"We even had sets of names, talked about how they would grow up, and where we would live. We had a plan," said Rachel.
But there would be no Mother's Day celebrations for Rachel, and their fairy tale life began to show signs of trouble. In December 2000, Albert was diagnosed with pituitary adenoma — a tumor on his brain. The surgery was successful, but the couple was told that Albert's chances of conceiving a child were slim to none.
But the born-again Christian couple had faith that they would conceive.
"Every month, I would say, OK, this is the one. I just knew that I would get pregnant. I had faith that God would make that happen," Rachel said.
That faith was dashed in 2001. Rachel was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. She couldn't produce the eggs to create a child.
"We were really brokenhearted as a man and a woman. Honestly, my faith even faltered a little. I just thought, OK, we gotta change our plan. Um, obviously there's a different plan that God has for our life," she said.
Rachel began getting depressed on a monthly basis. She cried a lot.
"We just quit talking about having a baby. Those were hard years for me, of knowing that I was meant to be a mom and not being able. Finally, it got so bad that we separated in 2006. It was so hard," she said as tears welled up in her eyes. "I even felt like maybe it was my fault, and that God didn't make me right, as a woman, you know?"
Then, everything changed.
"We got back together and even renewed our vows in 2008 at our church here in Naples. But we still didn't have a child, and we just didn't discuss it anymore. Albert said he was fine with just me. It was really me, I just needed my own child. It's a maternal instinct, but it didn't seem like it was God's plan for my life. But I didn't want to give up," Rachel said.
Then something happened that altered their course.
"The pastor of our church, Pastor Randy, got back from the Philippines and he had a picture of a girl from an orphanage he visited. That's when I knew," she said.
Although the couple initially considered filing papers for an international adoption and selecting a child from overseas, the two eventually decided that they would be perfect happy with a child in need here in the U.S. So they contacted a local adoption agency, which warned them that they might have to wait years. However, it happened almost overnight.
"We filled out the application for an infant adoption, and almost right away we had a match," Rachel said.
A representative from the agency, Hannah, called them not long after to tell them the good news. They had found a young Puerto Rican couple from Fort Myers that couldn't afford their second child. The Hernandez couple were estatic since they are also from Puerto Rico.
"The couple was in high school," said Rachel. "They already had one child, just a year old, and they were so young. They knew from the beginning they couldn't raise another child.
In the United States, 31 percent of young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20. Eight in 10 of these pregnancies are unintended and 81 percent are to unmarried teens. From 1991 to 2004, there were 354,000 teen births in the state of Florida. In Collier County alone in 2004 there were 490 teen births at an estimated cost of $10 million to taxpayers from women who did not place the child up for adoption. Most of the costs of teen childbearing are for the negative consequences for the children of teen mother.
The next several months were a "whirlwind" for the couple. Six months after being accepted as adoptive parents, Rachel rushed down Livingston Road to pick her husband up from work so they could get to the hospital in Fort Myers where the birth mom was in labor. Suddenly, Rachel's phone rings. Hannah was calling.
"Hannah says to me, 'Mason's here! Mason's here!' I cried, 'It's a boy?!' I was shaking!
"She said, 'Yes, it's a boy! You have a son!'
"I called my husband and told him, and he said, 'It's a boy?' And I said, 'Yes!' My husband just started crying, and he said, 'Just hurry up and get here!'
On the way to the hospital, only silence. The couple was so excited, but the two couldn't express their feelings with words. So they stayed quiet during the car ride. The two knew the mother could change her mind at any time, and that her family did not want her to place the baby for adoption.
According to area specialists, both adoptive parents and birth parents should be properly prepared for these intense emotions.
"Whether it's bringing a child into the world, being able to raise a child, or loving a child — even from afar — receiving support is a core thread of the process of successful adoption," said Kimberly Rodgers, a licensed clinical social worker and registered play therapist supervisor. Rodgers owns Monarch Therapy of Naples, an agency that offers many different counseling services, including adoption support.
"It was 12 years of planning and waiting and crying and breaking up and getting back together on this," Rachel said. "We rode the elevator up to the room. She had just given birth, so he was new...new. We walked in and she was in the bed. The baby was in a little bassinette next to her. I thought, 'Oh no, the baby is right next to her.' But then she said, 'There he is.' And so I walked over to her first and I hugged her. Then I went around to the bassinette.
"I peeked in, and I saw him. Oh, I just melted. I thought, 'That's my son.' Like there, that's him. He's ours. And so at that point the papers aren't signed yet. She has 24 to 48 hours to change her mind. But I picked him up and I held him.
"We spent mostly the whole day with the birth mom. The whole time I kept thinking in the back of my mind that she might change her mind at any time. I wanted so badly to say to her, to beg her, 'Please don't change your mind,' but I didn't say it," said Rachel through growing tears, the memories still emotional.
Rachel and Albert went home to Naples for the night, but they didn't sleep.
"We got back to the hospital and Hannah meets us downstairs. She tells me that the birth mom was upstairs crying. She said that was the first time she ever saw her cry, and she said the birth mom looked down over Mason and she cried over him, and, um, that was sad. Because I thought, I could never give up my child."
While telling the story, Rachel wiped tears from her cheeks. The memory is intensely sad to this woman who waited so long to have the chance to be a mother.
"We get into the elevator to go up to where Mason and the birth mom are. She is dressed because she has been discharged. Um, the birth dad is there, and their 1-year-old son is there. She's holding Mason.
"I think, 'Oh God. She's probably broken down, but then she turns toward me and says, 'Here's your son.'
"So I walk over and I took Mason from her arms," Rachel said. "Then we all go together out to the parking lot, and Albert gets our car and pulls up as we're all just talking.
"She said, 'Goodbye.' I hugged her. Then I said, 'I promise you I'll take care of him for the rest of his life,' and she said, 'I know you will. The birth dad came around and hugged me, and he said, 'Take care of him.'
"And I said, 'I promise you, I'll take care of him.' And now, because of them, I am a mom. And I want to tell Mason's birth mom, 'I think you are a great mom. Happy Mother's Day.'
"And most of all, I want to say…thank you."

I mean really, when isn't it a good time? But this is a particularly month for jewelry shopping, because September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. And at lorealcolorofhope.com you can buy yourself a pretty little prezzie and know that 100 percent of the net profits will go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Not to mention the fact that two amazing chicks I used to work — Jamie Boris and Louisa Terry — are now the coexecutive directors of the OCRF. We all worked under Liz Tilberis, the former editor-in chief of Harper's Bazaar, who died from ovarian cancer. I'm so proud of my former colleagues! You can also see REDBOOK's editor-in-chief, the gorg and glam Stacy Morrison, standing up for the cause on page 41 of the September issue of REDBOOK. And this is a woman who knows good jewelry. So, go shop.

There's a standalone program to convert PST to other formats (which may be then readable using PHP extensions, e.g. php_imap): http://www.five-ten-sg.com/libpst/

"Thank you!"
First of all, I would like to send a heart felt "Thank you!" to anyone who participated in the decision to produce this in unabridged format. That made me very happy! I also cannot say enough good words about Holter Graham. His capture of the mid Maine accent is very nearly perfect, and the other Maine accents he uses are very good as well. Having myself had family here in Bethel for many generations, and being someone who laments the loss of our cultural heritage in our "lingo", I sincerely appreciate his nuanced performance. I hope to see more of his work! Now to the story - Mr. Connolly has created another book I will read again and again, as I do the others in the Parker series. I was grateful to find some of the action set in Western Maine, and I hope he used the large archives of the Bethel Historical Society for research. Thank you to all for this enjoyable "read"! I am already looking for the next in the series. *nudge, nudge*
"My last Preston/Child book?"
It is doubtful I will try another Preston/Child book. However, I adore Rene Auberjonois!
While I, as always, thoroughly enjoyed the performance by Rene Auberjonois, the content was disappointing. I found the intended tension of the perils faced by the young lady not only pedantic but also frustratingly disrespectful to women. The little Holmesian story fell far below his standards. The "magic" of Pendergast, so potent in the first part of the series, has fallen short of those standards in more recent stories. In short, I found this story to be, sadly, expedient and superficial, and the many "twists and turns" predictable. I fear this will be my last Preston/Child book, as the last few have been similarly disappointing. It is a loss. In short, if all you want is to fill in some time, this book is fine, like a summer romance, soon forgotten. If you are looking for something which moves you, look elsewhere.
His is a masterful performance. I adore him, and consider his narration a selling point.
Not really. Mild entertainment. I did get a lot of housework done. ;)
"Fallible human beings"
First of all, I should say I love James Lee Burke's stories. This one, however, I did not. I don't know if it was the content, or the lack of any attempt to "perform" from the narrator. I can only hope Will Patton was just too busy to narrate, and that this stumbling, passionless performance will not be re-created. Perhaps I am just spoiled. As far as content is concerned, this is another time when the people whose stories are being told make poor decisions time after time. While that is a recurring theme in JLB's novels, in this one there seems no saving grace in the lives portrayed. The characters are rich and the descriptions of the environment are evocative. I usually read JLB stories over and over. This one will not be re-read for a very long time.
I would only recommend this story to my strong of heart friends. It is too discouraging for any lesser mortals.
While his singing of the songs was entertaining, he read the stories without changing voice, pace or inflection. These are highly emotional stories, and the lack of any of that makes them much less powerful. With authors who do not identify the speaker in their dialogue, it is imperative for the chosen narrator to give the speakers different voices. He did not. It was confusing.
It's James Lee Burke! The imagery he uses is always entertaining. For someone who, like myself, has never been "down South", I feel as though I have, after reading his descriptions.
"Very good read"
Surprising, intricate, colorful
It surprised me, showed that beauty can be evil and portrayed ordinary people in a kind light.
Serena's partner, whose name I do not know how to spell!
What do you think is immoral?
The narrator did an exceptional job with the different accents. This is one I would listen to again, even knowing how it turns out.
"Another great "F***ing Flowers" book"
Thank you for another great book! The narration was very good. I am still bothered by a one dimensional feeling about most of the women characters, but since the stories are told from a man's perspective, it seems natural enough. The subject matter was very disturbing, but was so well written, it was bearable.
"My Last Sara Paretsky Book"
I will not be purchasing any more of Ms. Paretsky's novels, after staying with her all through the V.I. Warshawski series. I do not want to be hit over the head with her one sided political agenda anymore. Other writers seem to manage making their views known without it interrupting the story to make the point. She does not seem capable of that, and I do not want to read it. It's not that I disagree with her, but the disparaging way in which she speaks of those who do not agree with her guarantees I will not be back. I get enough of that on the news. The narrator did a good job, though, so she gets the stars.

"Mark Moffett has been described as 'the Jane Goodall of ants.' Certainly Adventures among Ants, with its detailed account of his fieldwork, makes an invaluable contribution to our scientific knowledge of these creatures. But it does more. It is so well written and captures his excitement so wonderfully that it will bring this wealth of information to a far wider audience. I was fascinated by ants when I was a child—how I wish this book had been available to me then!"—Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder, the Jane Goodall Institute, and UN Messenger of Peace
"Mark Moffett is in the front rank of present-day explorer naturalists. He has been in many of the most remote parts of the world, and has thorough scientific knowledge of his subject. His photographs are superb, the best ever taken."—Edward O. Wilson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Future of Life and The Ants
"Mark Moffett's Adventures among Ants is a complete celebration of the fascinations of ants that is accessible to the general reader. Happily the book has much to offer professional biologists too. Here academics can acquire novel perspectives on issues associated with ant social biology, ranging from the foraging tactics of army ants to the evolution of the extraordinary invasive ant species now conquering the Northern Hemisphere to the utility of the term 'superorganism.' Admire the photographs but do not neglect the text."—John Alcock, author of Animal Behavior

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants is a major contribution to the plant sciences literature, superbly edited by three distinguished scientists, Bob B. Buchanan, Wilhelm Gruissem, and Russell L. Jones, with contributions from more than 50 world-renowned scientists. With over 1,400 pages, 1,100 full-colour original drawings and 500 photographs this work qualifies, in the words of the Science reviewer, as:
"an essential reference for practicing plant biologists and for the increasing number of scientists from other disciplines who are entering the field of plant biology. To exploit fully the wealth of new information provided by the genome projects and to integrate the metabolic, regulatory, and signal transduction pathways of complex organisms, biologists will require a solid command of biochemistry and physiology. For this reason, the publication of Biochemistry Molecular Biology of Plants could not have come at a more opportune and auspicious time."
This book is meticulously organised and richly illustrated, useful both for teaching and for reference. The multi-authored work provides a contemporary view of its subject, including molecular biology, cell biology, and plant physiology, integrated around the themes of:
* compartmentation
* cell reproduction
* energetics
* metabolism
* development

There has been a large increase in the commercial use of integrated crop/pest management methods for pest and disease control on a wide range of crops throughout the world since the first edition of this book. The completely revised second edition of the bestselling Biological Control in Plant Protection: A Color Handbook continues the objective of providing a handbook with profiles and full-color photographs of as many examples of biological control organisms from as wide a global area as possible. It is designed to help readers anticipate and recognize specific problems of pest management and then resolve them using the natural enemies of pests—parasites, predators, and pathogens.
The authors first describe the impact of predator-prey relationships on host plant species in arable, orchard, and protected environments. The main sections of the book include profiles of pests, beneficial arthropods (insects and mites), and beneficial pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes), featuring a tabular pest identification guide. Descriptions of biocontrol organisms are divided into four sections: species characteristics, lifecycle, crop/pest associations, and influences of growing practices. The text is illustrated throughout with color photographs of the highest quality.
This revised edition helps readers more fully understand the concepts and practice of biological control and integrated pest management. All chapters have been updated and expanded, and more than 300 new photographs have been added. The second edition covers new beneficial organisms and pest profiles, and it includes a new chapter on the practical aspects and application of biological control. It also contains a new final chapter that puts biological control in perspective, discussing interactions that occur when using biocontrol for population management as well as some of the possible mechanisms of biocontrol.
This comprehensive volume reviews biological control theory, economic and environmental impacts, and the role of biological control in IPM programs. Seventy-nine case histories illustrate biological control projects for 62 arthropod and 22 weed pests.

In a series of essays about his life as a California subsistence farmer, Madison ruminates on lessons learned during his 20-plus years in the farmers' market society. Opening with a depiction of a person he's met or a scene from agrarian life, these vignettes often blossom into expositions on larger issues and become a pulpit from which Madison preaches his sermon. His account of his experiences growing sweet corn becomes a rant against the processed food industry; the shadows of military cargo planes flying overhead launch a diatribe against what he sees as America's imperial ways. The overuse of heavy-handed analogies, a pervading tone of superiority and brash, stereotyping statements ("Like many people whose wealth is unearned, he was a rabid Republican") will alienate many readers. Redemption lies in essays about aspects inherent to the life of a small farmer: a love of nature, a sense of pleasure in one's work and an intrinsic connection to the earth and all living things. Musings on the abundance evident at farmers' markets, the nostalgic power of lilacs and the pleasure of eating a fig warmed on the tree by the afternoon sun illuminate Madison's passion for his job and add warmth to what might otherwise be a collection of denunciations of contemporary society.

Early Spanish explorers in the late eighteenth century found springtime California covered with spectacular carpets of wildflowers from San Francisco to San Diego. Yet today, invading plant species have devastated this nearly forgotten botanical heritage. In this lively, vividly detailed work, Richard A. Minnich synthesizes a unique and wide-ranging array of sources--from the historic accounts of those early explorers to the writings of early American botanists in the nineteenth century, newspaper accounts in the twentieth century, and modern ecological theory--to give the most comprehensive historical analysis available of the dramatic transformation of California's wildflower prairies. At the same time, his groundbreaking book challenges much current thinking on the subject, critically evaluating the hypothesis that perennial bunchgrasses were once a dominant feature of California's landscape and instead arguing that wildflowers filled this role. As he examines the changes in the state's landscape over the past three centuries, Minnich brings new perspectives to topics including restoration ecology, conservation, and fire management in a book that will change our of view of native California.

In Cheddar Cheese Making & Elements of Dairying, John Wright Decker offers us a unique firsthand account of how cheese was made in the late 1800s, a time when the science of cheese making was just beginning to unravel its mysteries. The experiences of his students were not unlike those being faced by today's farmstead and artisanal cheese makers. Decker was an instrumental force in the United States and Canada, establishing the idea that to develop a better overall dairy industry, cheese makers had to produce better cheeses. And better cheeses come from educated cheese makers.

With a history as ancient as any cultivated fruit, many believe the fig has been with us even longer than the pomegranate. The Ficus constitutes one of the largest and hardiest genera of flowering plants featuring as many as 750 species. Although the extraordinary mutualism between figs and their pollinating wasps has received much attention, the phylogeny of both partners is only beginning to be reconstructed. The fig plant does have a long history of traditional use as a medicine and has been a subject of significant modern research.
Figs, the Genus Ficus brings together those histories, ancient and modern, to present an extraordinary profile of an extraordinary plant with an abundance of medical uses and a reputation as both a delicacy and a diet staple in some regions of the world. Several chapters within the book are devoted to intensive study of different parts of the tree: fruits, leaves, bark and stem, roots, and latex. These chapters discuss the Ficus genus as a whole, including the botany of the most important species that have been related to that particular part pharmacologically.
The authors, Dr. Ephraim Lansky MD, highly respected as one of the world's only physician pharmcognocists and Dr. Helena Paavilainen, a renowned researcher of natural products, go on to consider the chemistry and pharmacology of each part in selected Ficus species, and modern, medieval, and ancient methods for obtaining and preparing the beneficial components from that plant part for medicinal use. Special attention is paid to the plants' propensity for fighting inflammation, including cancer. Figs' future potential is considered in a number of treatments, as are future areas of research.
