So, what do these Gnostic Gospels actually teach that caused them to be labeled as heresy by early Christians?

knowledge and wisdom collide...
Anonymous Coward 1747431
Gnosis is not the path to The Christ. It is the path to self.
It has it roots in self sufficiency. Not utter lack of sufficiency in God and His Power.
Trusting fully in God which is what leads a man To Christ.
That some secret spiritual knowledge can bring a man to the fullness of The Christ. Only one thing can bring a man to The Christ. The Father...
And when a man comes to The Father and The Son, he brings nothing of his own. Not spiritual knowledge or wisdom, not pride.
Not self.
The early Christians knew complete reliance on The Spirit of God to provide all things. They placed no confidence in themselves or their own selves.
The complete opposite of Gnosis. And it is evident when one reads the gospels and epistles and compares them to the gnostic writings.
Very, very different Spiritual driving force.

Allergies and Diabetes (Continued)
2 - Antihistamines
Antihistamines counteract the action of histamine, a substance released in the body during an allergic reaction. They help reduce the sneezing, runny nose, and itchiness of allergies. They're more useful if you use them before you're exposed to allergens.
Some antihistamines can cause drowsiness and dry mouth, constipation, or urinary retention. They should not be used if you have glaucoma without asking your eye doctor first. Others are less likely to cause these side effects, but some of these require a prescription. Talk to your doctor about which kind you should use.
Oral and nasal antihistamines counteract the action of histamine, a substance released in the body during an allergic reaction. Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Chlor-Trimeton (chlorpheniramine), Dimetane, and Tavist are examples of OTC antihistamines. Ocu-Hist is an OTC eye drop.
Drowsiness is a common side effect, so don't take these types of drugs when you have to drive, operate machinery, or do other activities that require you to be alert.
Non-sedating OTC antihistamines include Claritin and Alavert, (both loratadine), Allegra (fexofenadine) and Zyrtec (cetirizine). Zyrtec may cause mild drowsiness. Some non-sedating antihistamines, such as Clarinex (desloratadine) are available by prescription. Many oral antihistamines are available OTC and in generic form.
Prescription drugs include Clarinex and Xyzal. Astelin (azelastine) and Patanase (olopatadine) are antihistamine nasal sprays approved to treat allergy symptoms. Eye drops include Emadine and Livostin.
These can be used several times a day. Side effects include drowsiness, a bitter taste in the mouth, headache, and stinging in the nose.
3 - Oral and nasal decongestants:
Decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine help temporarily relieve the stuffy nose of allergies. They are sometimes recommended in combination with antihistamines, which used alone do not have an effect on nasal congestion.
Decongestants are found in many medicines and come as pills, nose sprays, and nose drops. They are best used only for a short time. Nose sprays and drops shouldn't be used for more than 3 days because you can become dependent on them. This causes you to feel even more stopped-up when you try to quit using them.
You can buy some decongestants without a doctor's prescription. However, decongestants can raise your blood pressure, so it's a good idea to talk to your family doctor before using them, especially if you have high blood pressure. Drugs that contain pseudoephedrine are also kept behind the pharmacy counter as a safeguard because of their use in making methamphetamine—a powerful, highly addictive stimulant often produced illegally in home laboratories. You may need to ask your pharmacist and show identification to purchase drugs that contain pseudoephedrine. Some states now require a prescription for any product that contains pseudoephedrine.
Over-the-counter medications include Zyrtec-D; Sudafed tablets or liquid (prescription required in some states); Allegra-D; Claritin-D; Neo-Synephrine and Afrin nasal sprays; and Visine eye drops.
Prescription decongestants include Clarinex and Xyzal.

Loved it how, before every fight, Evander Holyfield would explain how he was going to box and move all night, not getting dragged into a brawl. Morales used to say the same thing.

Definitely the irritating God praising junk, like c'mon, if there were a God would he really be helping a dude beat the hell out of another human being. Guys like Timothy Bradley and Andre Ward are two Jesus freaks that come to mind, and I usually have to skip their post fight interviews for that reason.

Ship to boost iron-sands export volume
Relevant offers
New Zealand's iron-sands exports will get a boost with the introduction of a third ship to service the Taharoa iron-sands mine.
Australian listed company, and owner of New Zealand Steel, BlueScope Steel will add a third ship to its New Zealand iron-sands operation in the west coast town of Taharoa, BlueScope said in an announcement on the ASX last week.
BlueScope said the introduction of a third ship in the 2016 financial year would add 1.3 million tonnes a year to the export capacity of the Taharoa site.
BlueScope said this year it was introducing a second ship to service its Taharoa site.
New Zealand Steel said in October it was building a new $1.5 million plant at the Taharoa iron-sand mine to grow its production capability.
The second ship was scheduled to start running in 2015 and the third ship in 2016.
BlueScope said it expected iron-sand exports from the Taharoa site, south of Kawhia, to lift to 4 million tonnes a year by the 2016 financial year.
The third ship was a 175,000 tonne slurry-loading vessel.
The company also planned to spend an additional A$50m (NZ$54.4m) during the 2016 and 2018 financial years on mining, processing and ship-loading equipment.
BlueScope managing director Paul O'Malley said the company believed there were sufficient resources at the Taharoa site to extract 4 millon tonnes of iron sands a year for at least 15 years.
"This expansion is good news for our New Zealand business, the local community of Taharoa and the wider New Zealand community," O'Malley said.
The Taharoa mine site, which covers 1300 hectares, is leased from Maori landowners.
New Zealand Steel had mined the site since 1972, with exports peaking at 2 million tonnes in the late 1970s, the company's website said.
New Zealand Steel also operated a steel mill in Glenbrook in South Auckland and the Waikato North Head mine.
Iron is extracted from the iron sands and can be made into steel.

Last night's beat down of Highland shows what the Cats are capable of. If I were the rest of 4A I'd be praying WX is not part of the playoff mix. Why? WX is playing lightsout football right now we are on a roll. The Cats have the best skill players, team, and coach in the state of Utah bar none!!! WX will make the playoffs and take state! This is OUR year!!! Go WX!! Go WX!!

I will give you the fact that you played well against Highland but you might look really dumb if Highland wins and to say you have the best of everything would imply that you should be undefeated and killing all the teams you have played. Don't talk up your cats when they haven't proved it enough on the field. Maybe stay humble and win quietly....but I'm just sayin'

1:1 composition exercise
May 2, 2012
I loved the images you can get to through this thread:
I have been meaning to switch to 1:1 as a compositional exersize and the OP for that thread inspired me to try. I think I will be shooting for a month on that setting and try not to switch over unless it is completely necessary.
Here is a first portrait.
Amazing how a blue filter added in post seems to make him a totally different person.
Loving this camera. I can hardly wait for true raw support.

Caroline Criado Perez said it was "great" that Twitter had taken a "first step" in dealing with harassment on the social media site, but said more needed to be done.
Ms Criado Perez, from north London, was one of a number of women who were subjected to a torrent of abuse by Twitter users last month.
Ms Criado Perez said: "It's great that Twitter has listened.
"There are still issues: users have to agree for the report to be potentially shared with the harasser, and there are some boxes that could be auto-populated that aren't. But overall, this is a fantastic first step."
Two members of the public were injured along with two police officers who were in the unmarked vehicle.
Scotland Yard recorded 1,235 Islamophobic attacks in the last 12 months, compared with 811 in 2015.
Officers say the child, aged two, was targeted in the Lewisham Shopping Centre.

Newt Missed Puerto Rico Opportunity, Says His Island Chief
Why is the candidate with the strongest record on Hispanic issues poised to wash out on the island? If he had shown up, the race "would have been a lot closer," Regis tells BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins.
Gingrich spoke at a Hispanic town hall in Illinois this week.
ISLA VERDE, Puerto Rico — As polls closed across the island Sunday afternoon, Newt Gingrich's campaign chair here expressed regret that his candidate never visited Puerto Rico.
"I think if he had been in Puerto Rico, [the race] would have been a lot closer," lamented John Regis, who helmed the candidate's meager operation here and runs the island's popular Hot Potato fast food chain.
Gingrich skipped the territory despite having set himself apart from the rest of the GOP field for his Latino-friendly tone and relatively moderate views on immigration. In Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory whose native residents are natural-born American citizens, immigration isn't a top concern. But generally, Regis said, "Hispanics feel like brothers, and anything that's done for Hispanics in the states is received well here, and visa versa."
What's more, Gingrich was an early champion for statehood, the defining platform plank for Puerto Rico's Republican party.
Results hadn't yet been reported, but Regis said he was fairly certain it wouldn't be a good night. Both of Gingrich's opponents had recently completed campaign swings through the island; Mitt Romney with the endorsement of Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno, and Rick Santorum with the support of religious conservatives.
Gingrich, on the other hand, remained in the mainland, sending his daughter Kathy Lubbers to stump for him. Regis said the campaign had made a calculation that his time would be better spent campaigning in Illinois and Louisiana, delegate-rich states who hold primaries next week.
Regis said he understood the decision, reasoning, "It's mathematics."
But Regis said the campaign had simply taken Puerto Rico for granted — assuming early on that the candidate's record and views would guarantee him a strong showing here, and failing to reckon with voters' apathy toward mainland politics and the impact of the candidate's absence.
"Unless candidates get a presence here and get their names known, people don't really know their backgrounds as much as they should," he said, adding, "His daughter tried, but we didn't really get the coverage the message needed."

This could be as impactful as the discovery of penicillin
That's the first thing that comes to mind when learning about the history-altering work of NIH scientist (for over 45 years) Dr. Richard Veech, a man the general public has probably never heard of.
Why haven't you heard of him? Because he's dedicated to science, not sales. So, what do scientists and entrepreneurs have in common? They both dedicate their lives to making a difference, discovering ways to make the world operate more effectively. But there's an important cultural distinction between the two: Entrepreneurs' success is tied to dollars, while scientists' success is tied to discovery.
Remember how penicillin altered history? We might be at that moment in history again, but with a "ketone ester" drink invented by Dr. Veech, that has insanely widespread uses. Imagine a drink that could treat Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, epilepsy, concussions, heart failure, all while helping elite endurance athletes break world records. Then, imagine that it's a formula perfected over decades, but only now ready in an era where genetics is sexiest of sciences, so this liquid goes underfunded and underproduced. It seems too good to be true, but it's not. It's real.
Add to the issue of funding is an overly modest old scientist who said he would literally run if someone called him a hero for his work.
Next, toss in imitation products that use salt-filled caffeinated versions of Dr. Veech's decades old, already discarded work and you might be left very confused. If a breakthrough sports drink and patient treatment exists, would anyone even believe it?
So what is this ketone ester?
Ketones are human's back up fuel system that kicks in when humans starve, or at least run out of sugar. The body then burns fat to create an efficient ketone fuel. What many of the therapeutic uses (including Alzheimer's) have in common is the brain's blockage of the path to use sugar for energy, meanwhile ketones can bypass this blockage and simply fuels the brain.
Dr. Veech invented a way to bottle that fuel, in a fat-free and salt-free super FDA-approved concentrated food, not a drug. Ketosis is the metabolic state that uses ketones as a primary fuel source, but is mainly known by those that undergo an Atkin-like ketogenic high fat diet. This is drastically different because you get the benefits of ketones without the drawbacks of the high fat. Some call the fat-free version of ketosis, "Veetosis," in honor of Dr. Veech, the doctor who holds the key to so many treatments.
The catch is that even though billions can be made from this invention, it is unbelievably expensive to make and there's no funding for an older scientist that doesn't schmooze. How expensive? For scientific purposes, labs can make a patented product, and for this exact ester they charge $60,000 per 25 mL serving, but with a newly discovered process and an investment, that could drop quickly to $20 a drink.
Absent a single investment, perhaps that can be done via the new world of crowdfunding (or rich, science-inclined geeky startup folks), so hopefully you'll see Dr. Veech's ketone ester on shelves sooner rather than later.
The path to the discovery has been long
Dr. Veech worked in 1966 with Dr. Cahill (the man that starved volunteers to prove the brain could run on ketones), and in 1969 under nobel laureate Dr. Krebs (if you took chemistry, you have definitely heard of the Krebs cycle). Dr Veech solved a problem which Krebs delegated to him. Krebs said he must be wrong, only to come back later to co-author the longest paper of Krebs' career. It was the foundation for understanding why ketones work. Right now, our science geek readers get it – Dr Veech is a pretty big deal, and his work should be taken seriously.
Fast forward to 1995, Dr. Veech co-authored a breakthrough paper on how ketones change metabolism, and in 2000, a paper on Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and abolishing the effects of free radical damage.
In 2004, as part of a competition to find a new fuel for the special forces, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), gave a handful of groups $2 million each per year. Only Dr Veech's group, including Oxford University partner Dr. Kieran Clarke, was left standing. They earned $10 million of total funding, resulting in an FDA-approved food. Who would have guessed DARPA's role in potentially treating millions of patients with this new food?
A modest scientist does not a salesman make
Even a simple Oxford-approved boxing study to demonstrate ketone ester's benefits for concussions hasn't been picked up. One would think a football team owner might want to donate to prove a treatment backed by science that may bring a $20 million a year quarterback that has been earholed, back onto the field a few games earlier. Not to mention, the league could limit the potential liability around debilitating diseases plaguing players decades later.
So the path to the discovery has been long, but anyone we spoke to that was aware of Dr. Veech's work sung his praises. The challenge is that the older sharp-tongued doctor is hyper-focused on his work, isn't interested in fame, noting that it is "unseemly for doctors to promote themselves," and that it is "not part of the job." Times have changed, and modesty has been replaced by self promotion, as the driver in today's world of discoveries.
Ketone esters have had success with human testing
In endurance sports, the ketone ester has been proven in a lab to increase output by up to 2%. That can be the difference between a gold and not placing. When tested on 19 elite rowers, there were nine season's bests, five personal bests and one world record. Only one did slightly worse than the placebo test.
Meanwhile, Dr. Mary Newport was trying to treat her husband with Alzheimer's and discovered Dr. Veech's work while digging around in his 20+ patents. She was the author of "Alzheimer's Disease What If There Was a Cure, The Story of Ketones" about her coconut oil therapy that naturally releases ketones, which she said turned her husband's "lights back on." Hundreds have written to her claiming similar results. Ultimately, her husband received Dr. Veech's ketone ester for a few years and Dr. Newport said it was 10x more effective than the coconut therapy.
Think about that for a minute. The lights came back on! Why is the world not freaking out with excitement!?
Another believer in ketones and Dr. Veech is William Curtis. He has had Parkinson's for over 15 years, and despite being on the common cocktail of meds, he had tremors, severe muscle spasms, and sometimes stared at the computer screen for hours, nearly frozen. With a little biochem in undergrad, he searched and came across Dr. Veech's papers, emailed with the doctor, and sought alternative natural ways to raise his ketone levels (also referred to as D-bhb levels).
Dr. Veech told him that absent the availability of clinical trials with the ester, and as long as his primary care doctor approved, Curtis could try a high fat morning drink to increase his ketone levels. After some tweaks and fasting each night, Curtis says his results were stellar. He could concentrate for hours, spasm free, and was able to drive again. Dr. Veech has warned Curtis to watch his cholesterol and to stay on his meds. Curtis continues his routine today, shares his successes online, and plans to continue until the ketone ester is available in clinical trials.
This generation's most significant medical discovery
The final problem is that scientists write papers and seek grants which don't require a monetary return on investment; for many it's just not in their nature to write a business plan and go to a bunch of pitch offs.
We believe that with billions being thrown at sciences like space travel, it seems that investors or Congress should be primed to pump a few dollars into a simple ester to treat a dozen common medical problems that impact all of us as individuals and is nearly bankrupting the country.
We will be following Dr. Veech's progress (he even finally has his own website), and works as he blazes a path in the scientific community, and hopefully soon, the business community. It is our sincere hope that investors (both government, traditional, and non-traditional) "read the damn papers," as Dr. Veech says, because we believe that he's sitting on our generation's equivalent of the discovery of penicillin. If not bigger.
UPDATE: Dr. Veech is now on Twitter so you can connect with him.

Title: Caterpillars on Mountain Laurel from Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:My 1-yr old mountain laurel has been decimated by small yellow and black catepillars. It recovered a bit and pushed out some fresh new growth, and more came and decimated that too. Are these caterpillars good guys or bad guys? Should I be picking them off or leaving them be to make lovely butterflies? Will it kill the tree?
Here is a previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer that addresses not only the caterpillars but also the fact that your Mountain Laurel may be suffering from transplant shock. Be sure and follow the additional links in that question.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro: one of the best hybrid Ultrabooks on the market
One of the best hybrid Ultrabooks on the market
- Good build quality
- Excellent screen
- Useful as both a laptop and as a tablet
- Single-band Wi-Fi
- Touchpad drivers not comprehensive
- SD cards stick halfway out of the slot
Bottom Line
There are only a couple of things we don't like about the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro (mainly its Wi-Fi module and the touchpad driver), but overall it's a fantastic product that's fun to use. We had no problems using as a laptop, a tablet, and as a display device. Well worth considering if you're after a hybrid Ultrabook and can afford the 2K price.

Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro is an Ultrabook with a set of special hinges that allow the screen to tilt all the way over. Because of these hinges, you can switch from a laptop to a tablet with a minimum of fuss, despite the 13.3in size of the unit. Furthermore, it's a product that still manages to supply a strong configuration, and the key highlight here is a screen with a massive 1800p resolution. The main downside is the $1999 price tag, which could be out of reach of many budgets.
A super high-resolution screen
You might not notice it when you first boot up the Yoga 2 Pro, but its screen has a native resolution of 3200x1800 pixels. This equates to a value of 276 pixels per inch (PPI), which renders text and images beautifully crisp while in the Windows 8 Modern UI. The problem is, when you view the screen in its native form on the Windows desktop, all text and icons look very small. Even if you have excellent eye sight, you will still have to get up close to the screen to see what's written.
For this reason, Lenovo ships the laptop with the text size set to 'Larger' in Windows' Display settings. This just makes the screen look like it has a regular Full HD resolution rather than the more special 3200x1800 resolution, and it renders all the text and icons on the screen so that they are easily readable. It's a trade-off of screen real estate for readability, and it's necessary unless you don't mind having to strain to read small text.
In its native resolution, the screen's real estate is so vast it allows you to view almost three Web sites side by side by side, with only one of them being narrow enough to show a horizontal scroll bar. This is a nice novelty, though it can be useful during times when you run applications that display a lot of toolboxes on the screen, for example. You wouldn't want to use the native resolution without magnification when in tablet mode, mainly because you won't be able to tap on anything on the desktop with any accuracy. In the Modern UI, the icons and text will still look big and readable regardless of the text setting in the driver settings.
Apart from the high resolution, the panel offers IPS (in-plane switching) technology, which makes its viewing angles wide and comfortable to look at when the Yoga 2 Pro is held as a tablet. It's also a vibrant and colourful screen, which, despite having a reflective touch panel, isn't overly prone to reflecting light sources located behind you because it sits so close to the panel. You will still see reflections on dark screens, but we think the brightness level will be high enough to not make them too distracting. As far as touchscreens on hybrid Ultrabooks go, we think it's one of the best.
Our only gripe with the screen was its automatic brightness changes, which would occur every time we switched from a dark screen to a bright screen. It would take a couple of seconds, but whenever we went from a Web page with a dark background, for example, to a white one, the brightness level changed since the laptop detected we were on a brighter screen. When we went back to the dark screen, the screen dimmed again. It was very frustrating and sometimes even looked like flickering. This had nothing to do with adaptive brightness, which we had already disabled in the Windows power settings. We tracked it down to the power settings in the Intel graphics driver, in which we disabled its own power management.
From a laptop to a tablet
The screen is held to the Yoga 2 Pro's base by two hinges with dual mounting points that allow the screen to go all the way around the base. It's these special hinges that allow the Ultrabook to turn into a tablet, and while it's not a design that's unique to Lenovo (we also saw one example of it on the low-cost HP Pavilion x360 most recently), we think Lenovo has implemented it very well on this device. It's a subtle set of hinges that look normal at first glance, and there is nothing that gives away the fact that this Ultrabook is a hybrid (or convertible). It's not bulky, there are no mechanical switches to fiddle with, and it doesn't appear as though any compromise has been made in the strength of the Ultrabook and the way it works.
It's a very smooth pair of hinges that allow the screen to travel all the way around to the other side of the base, and because the Ultrabook weighs in at 1.39kg and has a thickness of 18mm (when the unit is used as a tablet), it doesn't feel awkward to pick it up and transform it from one form to another. Others might wonder what you are doing, though, and then give an audible 'ooh' because they may not expect a laptop to be able to work in such a way.
There are four ways in which Lenovo says you can use this Ultrabook: laptop mode, stand mode, tent mode, and tablet mode. There is a utility installed that can detect the way in which the Ultrabook is positioned, and it brings up a little notification that you can click (or tap) on to see apps that can be used for each particular mode. This notification can be annoying, especially if you change modes often, and the other annoyance is that some of the apps that are listed in Lenovo's utility link to Intel's AppUp store, which no longer works.
In stand mode, the Yoga 2 Pro can be rested on its base with the screen facing away from the keyboard; in tent mode, the Yoga 2 Pro rests more like a picture frame with the edges of the base and the lid supporting the weight. Both modes are useful for watching video, with tent mode being particularly useful when resting the device on a desk, and the stand mode being useful when resting the laptop on your chest while lying on the couch, for example.
Using the Yoga 2 pro as a tablet can be a little uncomfortable depending on the orientation that you use. If you hold it in the conventional way with the hinges down and the Lenovo label the right way up, you might block off the air vents that are located on the spine. This can cause the unit to get noticeably hot, though it will depend on the types of tasks that you are running at the time. Web sites that have lots of Flash elements, for example, will cause the CPU to work hard and create more heat. There aren't any vents on the base, so all the airflow is through the holes in the spine.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The appliance repairman told me using the self-cleaning feature takes years off the life of an oven. The best oven cleaner! Cover bottom of oven with baking soda, then pour vinegar so it's all wet. Let sit around 20 minutes or so then wipe all of it out with damp cloth or sponge. I leave my oven door open too. After drying you may see some white residue, wipe again.
Oven cleaner: 5 T baking soda, 4 T vinegar, 3 drops of Dawn and mix into a paste. Coat the oven, let sit for 15 min and scrub clean.
ONLY use this and it leaves floor spotless. (Heavy duty floor cleaner recipe: cup white vinegar 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap cup baking soda 2 gallons tap water, very warm.) It leaves everything smelling amazing.

Archaeologists dig up 400-year-old letter, find a lost language
Subir Ghosh
Sep 30, 2010 in
Some 400 years ago in North Peru, a Spaniard had jotted down numbers on the back of a letter. The small piece of paper has now been excavated by archaeologists and it has revealed traces of a lost language.
A combined research team of US–Peruvian archaeologists at Santa Mar´ıa Magdalena de Cao in the Chicama Valley of North Peru found this document that lists a few but important words that serve as keys to unlocking the intricacies of a native language that was spoken in prehistory and into the Colonial Period but has since become extinct. The name of the lost language, however, is still a mystery.
Since 2004, the team led by Dr Jeffrey Quilter of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, have been uncovering the remains of a town and church complex occupied from 1578 to 1780. They have so far unearthed a wide variety of artefacts, including a treasure trove of paper documents, all of which provided new information on the early Colonial Period in Peru when Spaniards and indigenous peoples were struggling in one of the great transitions of the Early Modern era.
But a collapse of the walls of the Magdalena de Cao church compound in the late 17th century trapped a wide array of materials under piles of bricks. Combined with the remarkable preservative qualities of the dry desert environment, these materials included items of the daily lives and religious calling. Among these papers was a complete letter concerning a minor event in the life of the church and town community.
"The reverse of this paper was later used to record a list of terms for numbers in a language previously unknown to scholars. How and why this document was created and later discarded is linked to larger issues in the history of the site and of Peru," says Quilter.
The writing is a set of translations from Spanish names of numbers (uno, dos, and tres) and Arabic numerals (4–10, 21, 30, 100, and 200) to the unknown language. Some of the translated numbers have never been seen before, while others may have been borrowed from Quechua or a related language.
Jeffrey Quilter
When found, the paper was folded; when opened, it measured 21 cm in width and slightly more than 12 cm in height. Writing covered most of one side of the paper, which had been oriented so that its width was greater than its height in relation to the text. "We define this side as the obverse because we assume the letter was written first and then the numbers were recorded later on the back of the letter," the archaeologist explains.
The relatively extensive text on the obverse of the document is a letter to a priest from a servant or agent regarding a dispute between the priest and a tradesman or merchant over the price of some cloth, possibly for church use, as for an altar or liturgical vestment. The handwriting conforms to a style common in the early 17th century.
But the real fascinating bit was yet to come. "The number list, on the folded, reverse side of the paper was written in a different, less florid hand than on the obverse and with a quill with a thicker nib. The recipient may have later used the back of the letter to record the numbers—although, of course, other writers cannot be discounted.
"The person wrote out the Spanish names for the numbers 1–3 in a single column, then changed to writing Arabic numerals for the rest of the sequence on the left-hand side of the page. The numbers proceed from one through ten. Numbers six and eight are each followed by a period and then a dash and the others with only a dash followed by handwritten words for what we interpret as the equivalent number in a native language. After the numeral ten, the sequence continues with 21, 30, 100, and 200." It was an unknown language.
So what were the numbers about? Quilter says, "Both the format and the contents of the brief list suggest that the author may have been recording numbers with the aim of understanding the numerical system in question, possibly during or shortly after an interview with a native informant. This is hard to determine, but it suggests that the recorder understood that by asking for the numbers in question, the rules of the number system could be determined."

The team then worked hard on it. Their painstaking research determined that, while several of the Magadalena number terms were likely to have been borrowed from a Quechuan (still spoken in Peru) language, the remainder recorded a decimal number system in an otherwise unknown language. Historical sources of the region mention at least two potential candidate languages, Pescadora and Quingnam. However, because neither is documented beyond their names, the researchers found a definite connection impossible to establish.
But then these are just first traces of the language as yet. "Although the number list on the document provides evidence of a newly discovered numeral system, it also impedes easy comparison with other languages. Number sequences do not necessarily provide linguistic clues to how languages are generally structured because numbers commonly are relatively isolated within a narrow, repetitive system. The apparent borrowing of some of the numbers on our document from Quechuan, however, does offer some data that allow us to consider the nature of this previously unknown tongue," says Quilter.
This is just the beginning and a lot remains to be done. "Although this small list of numbers has offered new data on language and numeracy in pre-Hispanic and Colonial Peru, it also emphasises how much remains to be learned," he says and goes on to add, "It is certainly a previously unknown language, although we hope that it is further chronicled in documents yet to be discovered, whether by archivists or archaeologists," he says.
The discovery was recently published in the
American Anthropologist
journal of the American Anthropological Association,
according to the Peabody Museum
. The Peabody Museum is among the oldest archaeological and ethnographic museums in the world.
Other members of the team were Marc Zender, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University; Karen Spalding, Department of History, University of Connecticut, and Pontifical Catholic University of Peru; Régulo Franco Jordán, Fundación Wiese, Peru; César Gálvez Mora, National Institute of Culture, Peru; and Juan Castañeda, Murga National University of Peru.

Students cry poor but minister unmoved
Minister unmoved by calls for higher living costJO MOIR
Relevant offers
University students are able to borrow just $23 more from the Government to meet their living costs than they could in 1999 - and they say that's nowhere near enough to meet the rising costs of flatting in Wellington or Auckland.
But Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce has made it clear they are not going to get any more in this year's Budget, and says students already have "one of the most generous support systems in the world".
Students who don't qualify for the means-tested student allowance are able to borrow money interest-free to meet their living costs. The amount is added to the total of their student loan.
From January 1999 to December 2008, they could borrow up to $150 a week. The limit has risen slowly since, and now stands at $173.56, which Mr Joyce says is in line with the rise in inflation.
But Victoria University third-year student Annabelle Nichols said she and many of her friends were left in the red at the end of each week, and disagreed with Mr Joyce that living costs had kept pace with inflation.
The 19-year-old has to find $60 a week on top of the borrowed amount to cover her remaining rent and bills. Then there's food, transport and clothing.
As a full-time education and history student she has time for up to 20 hours a week at her nannying and retail jobs, but said being able to borrow more to cover high Wellington rent prices would ease the pressure.
Mr Joyce said these were "tough times for everybody" and he very much doubted that students were any worse off than in previous years.
Labour tertiary education spokesman Grant Robertson said the entire loan and allowance system needed to be reviewed.
What are living costs?
Tertiary students can borrow for weekly expenses if they don't qualify for the student allowance. The amount is added to a student loan.
The cost of borrowing to live:
January 1, 1999, to December 31, 2008 – $150 a week
January 1, 2009, to March 31, 2009 – $155 a week
April 1, 2009, to March 31, 2010 – $160.24 a week
April 1, 2010, to March 31, 2010 – $163.38 a week
April 1, 2011, to March 31, 2011 – $169.51 a week
April 1, 2012, to March 31, 2013 – $172.51 a week
April 1, 2013 – $173.56 a week

Baton Rouge house searched; drugs, a gun, and $5k found
BATON ROUGE - Baker police say they found heroin and more than $5,000 during a search of a Baton Rouge house Friday.
Police say they arrested 22-year-old Robert Cole after searching his house on the 5000 block of Truman Street in Baton Rouge.
Detectives say they found Cole in the bedroom and asked him if there was anything to disclose. Cole said he had some marijuana, a gun, three packs of heroin and several thousand dollars in his bedroom.
During their search, police found a semi-automatic weapon, heroin, marijuana, codeine syrup and $5,520.
Detectives say Cole is prohibited from carrying a firearm, because he was previously convicted of simple burglary. Cole was charged with possession with intent to distribute heroin, illegal possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convict, possession of marijuana and possession of codeine.
Cole also faces attempted second-degree murder charges after selling heroin to an individual who overdosed and had to be revived. The person is in stable condition.

Local and federal law-enforcement officials demanded data on Verizon customers 321,545 times last year, the company revealed Wednesday.
It is the first time that Verizon or any other major phone company has revealed comprehensive statistics about government access to customer records. Google and other Internet companies have produced similar reports for several years, and AT&T has said it plans to also reveal its statistics.
Verizon's total dwarfs the statistics revealed by Google and the other Internet companies. Google has yet to announce figures for the second half of 2013, but through the first half of the year, the company said it received 10,918 requests for user data.
Verizon's report sheds little light on the National Security Agency's surveillance programs. The company did not discuss NSA demands under the Patriot Act for bulk access to customer data and was only allowed to say it received somewhere between 1,000 and 1,999 National Security Letters — secretive demands for data used mainly by the FBI.
The first — and still most controversial — leak by Edward Snowden was a secret court order requiring Verizon to turn over phone records on all of its customers to the NSA. The NSA claims the program — which gives the agency access to phone numbers, call times, and call durations — is authorized under Section 215 of the Patriot Act.
Reining in bulk collection is the top goal of civil-liberties activists and privacy-minded members of Congress. President Obama on Friday said he wants to maintain the NSA's ability to mine through millions of phone records, but he said the government should give up control over the phone database.
Verizon said it only complied with valid requests but it did not reveal how often it actually turned over customer data to the government. The company said it will begin tracking its compliance rate for future reports.
"Protecting our customers' privacy is a bedrock commitment at Verizon," Randal Milch, Verizon's general counsel, said in a statement.
"While we have a legal obligation to provide customer information to law enforcement in response to lawful demands, we take seriously our duty to provide such information only when authorized by law. Our dedicated teams carefully review each demand and reject those that fail to comply with the law."
The telecom giant said it received 164,000 subpoenas, which can give police access to information such as phone numbers, names, addresses and, in some cases, call histories.
The company received 70,665 court orders, including 1,496 wiretap orders, which allow police to listen in on phone calls. Verizon received 36,696 warrants, which it said mostly covered location information or stored messages.
There were also about 50,000 emergency requests for data, which police are only supposed to use if there is the possibility of death or serious injury.
Internet companies like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and Microsoft are lobbying for the right to disclose more information about national security requests for information. The companies have even sued the Justice Department, claiming the gag orders violate their First Amendment free speech rights.
While Verizon said it supports more transparency, it argued that the U.S. government is in the best position to reveal more data.
In his statement, Milch said there is already a framework in place for intelligence agencies to report surveillance statistics to Congress.
"The United States government should expand on this existing framework and report annually on the numbers of all types of demands made by federal and state law enforcement to telecommunications and internet companies for data regarding their customers," he said.

"It is with humility, determination, and boundless confidence in America's promise that I accept your nomination for president," said Hillary Clinton in becoming the first woman to accept a nomination for president from a major party. Clinton gave a wide-ranging address, both criticizing Donald Trump and speaking of what she has done in the past and hopes to do in the future. "He's taken the Republican party a long way, from morning in America to midnight in America," Clinton said of Trump. However, most of her speech focused instead on the work she has done and the work she hopes to do as president. "I will be a president of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. For the struggling, the striving, the successful," she said. "For those who vote for me and for those who don't. For all Americans together."
Supporters of Bernie Sanders promised to walk out, turn their backs, or disrupt Hillary Clinton's speech tonight, and they made good immediately, with an outburst almost as soon as Clinton began her speech. But her supporters, armed with a handy counter-chant cheat sheet distributed by the campaign, immediately began drowning them out with chants of "Hillary, Hillary!"
If a new poll is to be believed, Hillary Clinton has a big lead in the all-important swing state of Pennsylvania. A new Suffolk University survey shows her ahead of Donald Trump, 50%-41%. In a four-way race, she maintains her nine-point lead, 46%-37%. "Pennsylvania has voted Democratic in the past six presidential elections, going back to Bill Clinton's first win in 1992. Yet it is a rust belt state that could be in play, as indicated by recent general-election polling showing a close race."
"President Barack Obama has chosen Jackson Park, a lakefront park that once hosted the world's fair on the city's South Side, for his $500 million presidential library, according to a person familiar with the matter."
Wednesday was the third night in a row that the Democratic convention enjoyed a ratings win over the Republican convention last week. Which might have prompted a fundraising email from Donald Trump exhorting supporters not to watch. "Unless you want to be lied to, belittled, and attacked for your beliefs, don't watch Hillary's DNC speech tonight," the email read. "Instead, help Donald Trump hold her accountable, call out her lies and fight back against her nasty attacks."
