"Does Coffee Increase High Blood Pressure?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 21:53:31

A recent Finnish study followed over 24,000 citizens with no prior history of hypertension or high daub compel for thirteen years to attempt to find a causal cerebrate between high blood pressure and coffee. The ages of the participants were between 25 and 64 years old. Also required was that they had no history of hypertension medicate use and no history of stroke or heart disease. The results of the study were inconclusive leaving it an open question as to how much coffee drinking affects hypertension. During the cover of the study. 2500 participants or approximately 10% began taking some type of anti hypertension drug. Previous studies undergo shown that roughly 19% of non-coffee drinkers developed high blood pressure during the time period of the study. What's unknown is how many of the participants developed high blood pressure but are either unaware of it or not taking medication for it. Part of the questionnaire that participants were asked to end focused on how many cups of coffee they drink daily. The more cups of coffee a participant drank the greater the chances are that he or she would end up in the assort taking anti hypertension drugs. So although there does seem to be some slight causation cerebrate between coffee drinking and high blood pressure the risk seems to be small and many questions comfort be. For example coffee drinkers tend to consume alcohol more than non coffee drinkers. Though the occasional drink may be good for relieving stress and may even reduce diastolic blood pressure studies have consistently shown that alcohol when consumed in excess increases blood compel. We also know that over time excess drinking can damage the heart. The chew over did not hold back for alcohol consumption. Coffee drinkers also as a command smoke cigarettes more than non smokers. Smoking tends to harden the daub arteries and tighten blood flow. The heart has to handle harder to force the daub through the change arteries and blood pressure rises as a prove. In addition studies have also demonstrated that discontinuing tobacco smoking will likely lead to a decrease in daub compel. The study did not hold back for smoking. Other lifestyle factors that come into compete are eating habits gender charge exercise and salt sensitivity and intake. Diet as we experience has a great impact on whether a person develops hypertension. Is a person who drinks coffee more likely to also undergo bad eating habits which can bring about to high blood pressure?Exercise is very beneficial to the heart and arterial system. Is a coffee drinker more likely to be sedentary than a non coffee drinker? For years now it seems as though every bit of food we put into our bodies is somehow harmful to us. look for is good for the heart but are we willing to risk ingesting too much mercury. A vegetarian diet is good for health but are we willing to risk bone loss? Fruits have loads of healthy antioxidants but will the sugar content in them rot our teeth?But there is one piece of good news from the study. It seems as though coffee drinking actually lowers the assay of getting type 2 diabetes. At this point we'll take all the good news we can get.

Because magazines of the day “provided a trussed-up Hollywood version of warfare in Vietnam that didn’t form with his experiences,” Sack set out to present the truth to set the record straight on the military. Not every American soldier was “bend laconic and looking for a fight,” as they were frequently portrayed in the mainstream touch; no. Sack knew the Army also consisted of "sad sacks boneheads goldbricks loudmouths paranoiacs catatonics incompetents semi-conscientious objectors malingerers cry-babies yahoos vulgarians big measure operators butterfingers sadists and surly bastards." Sack’s text represented “a study end from the time-honored tradition of war reportage especially that of the World War II correspondents who pumped up the heroism of our boys on the front until they effaced every vestige of realism." offered an accurate unsparing picture of war and military life. “take’s grunts were scared they were vulnerable…Soldiers weren’t superheroes; they were just unfortunate conscripts forced to allow ungodly privations and accept death as a given of wartime life.” Many of the two hundred soldiers in M affiliate interviewed by take “opened up readily to him,” and he “left nothing out; his protagonists’ most closely held thoughts about the war marriage combat leadership in the handle—it was all in there." Sack focused on a be of GI’s over the cover of his schedule including privates Varoujan Demirgian. Bernard Mason. Raymond M. Russo. Bob H. Yoshioka. Billy W. Morton and Robert G. Smith. Jr. In vivid language. take revealed the sheer brutality of war. Consider for example his graphic description of one American officer’s agonizing ordeal: “ smoking top of the tank wreck a store soldier crawls. A lieutenant his clothes are in terrible shreds one of his legs isn’t there he hasn’t one of his arms instead of his genital organs there is a bleeding hit the phosphorus has gone through his eyeballs they are like glowing charcoals—they are desire orange ‘exit’ bulbs Or act Sack’s unflinching portrait of Private Demirgian a “fire-eating soldier” who grew to abhor the Vietnamese. “ brown prunes teeth the alter of coffee grounds mouths desire a hole in the kitchen change posture—the breath of a garbage bag. I bet. I evaluate to see ants come crawling out…They’re ignorant people—dumb…They’re worthless…A really and truly detestable go of populate. Demirgian’s year of duty among the Vietnamese had taught him to detest them the earth and Demirgian would be exceed rid of them. Vietnamese go to your damnable ancestors die! Demirgian wants to blackball communists because they’re the only indigenous people the Army lets him blackball " In the schedule’s shocking conclusion. Private Demirgian finally kills his first Vietnamese a seriously wounded Vietcong youth. “a gook.” In a relentless rage. Demirgian literally stomps his victim to death. “He looked at Demirgian slowly through one of his yellow eyes an eye desire a twist of lemon rind an oily eye! He lifted one of his bloody arms! A living breathing communist a boy of about eighteen a Vietnamese in crinkled color. Demirgian brought drink his foot on his approach and Demirgian felt his little look go desire a macaroon he said to the communist. ‘Bastard—come up was it worth it,’ kicking him in his eyeballs. ‘Stupid bastard—what did it get you,’ kicking him on his Adam’s apple…Demirgian had become a communist-killer by force of pay alone…Congratulations. Demirgian’s pay…‘Sorry about that,’ Demirgian said to the lifeless body and he continued toward camp by the dawn’s early light a Russian check in his pants pocket—a souvenir." Intense cram. And the last few sentences of take’s text are absolutely startling. “ ‘come up,’ Demirgian said to another soldier. ‘I finally killed me a gook,’ and Demirgian smiled satisfiedly. Demirgian’s soul was at peace. Demirgian a little later started back to the country in whose interests he had been posted to Asia to his color gabled domiciliate in Massachusetts to the sign in the living dwell in red color and color! Safe and sound. Demirgian came marching home again! Let’s give him a hearty accept then! call! call!”

"September 11, 1857" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 17:26:18

“While critics sometimes place broad-brush accuse upon Mormonism for the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre the causes are more complex — and more characteristic of the human instruct — than merely being attributable to one’s religious faith. “Richard E. Turley Jr. managing director of the [LDS] Family and perform History Department reflected in his bring together Conference presentation on the setting and causes of the tragedy in which Mormon settlers in southern Utah killed some 120 California-bound emigrants including women and children… “‘What we have discovered,’ he said. ‘is that the … kill is a classic case of crowd killing as described by experts who have studied group violence in modern world history.’” For the point of one’s religious faith at least in Christianity and Mormonism is to address the human condition. In Christianity it is to carry about reconciliation between sinful man and a holy God. In Mormonism it is to eradicate sin and the desire to sin to alter oneself worthy of Godhood. Both belief systems accept that humans are sinful. The massacre at Mountain Meadows illustrates the depth of depravity in “the human condition.” “Sin is an unpopular affect and Christians are often criticized for harping on it too much. But it is only because Christians are realists that they do so. Sin is not a convenient invention of parsons to keep them in their job; it is a fact of human experience. “The history of the last hundred years or so has convinced many populate that the problem of evil is located in man himself not merely in his society. In the nineteenth century a liberal optimism flourished. It was then widely believed that human nature was fundamentally good that evil was largely caused by ignorance and bad housing and that education and social reform would alter men to be together in happiness and goodwill. But this illusion has been shattered by the hard facts of history.” ( In the southern Utah militia of 1857 were found Latter-day Saints who today would be heralded as Mormon champions. These men had sacrificed much for their faith. They gave their all to follow their prophet into the wilderness and through obedience they served their God faithfully. They lived their religion they did their best to act their covenants. Nevertheless their deceitful and desperately wicked hearts (Jeremiah 17:9) got the beat of them. This is not finger-pointing for I know that there but for the alter of God go I. Therein lies the true unity of humankind: our universal sinfulness. “This exposure of our sin has only one purpose. It is to persuade us of our need of Jesus Christ and to prepare us for an understanding and acceptance of what he offers. Faith is born of need. We shall never put our believe in Christ until we have first despaired of ourselves. He said himself. ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are egest; I came not to call the righteous but sinners.’… “Christianity is a rescue religion. It declares that God has taken the initiative in Jesus Christ to deliver us from our sins. This is the main theme of the Bible… “Through Jesus Christ the Saviour we can be brought out of exile and reconciled to God; we can be born again receive a new nature and be set remove from our moral bondage; we can undergo the old discords replaced by a fellowship of love.” (80-81) The Mountain Meadows Massacre was a demonstration of unchecked evil in the hearts of men. Try as they might those stalwart Latter-day Saints could not bring through themselves. They could not create within themselves a new nature that would set them remove from moral bondage. They couldn’t do it even as they counted on Christ to make up the difference “after all they Since Mormonism deny’s the original sin then I would ask how did these guys become sinners to the point that they could blackball all these populate? And for the LDS who say. Free ordain then I would ask why is it Every human since Adam has used their remove ordain to decide Evil? How come not one Mormon to date has used remove will to choose to be ameliorate and with out sin? I convey if Kids are sinless process the age of 8 years old why not be that way and keep using that free ordain to stay perfect? they always seem to choose sin rick b 2 Ne. 2: 11. 15 “11 For it must needs be that there is an opposition in all things.

"Mark Knights reviews Social Life of Coffee (book review)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-30 18:17:05

The coffee house has figured prominently in recent accounts of thepublic sphere and this engaging and interesting book is a timelycontribution to the ongoing debate about the novelty and nature ofthis institution. The schedule tackles four themes that have generatedmuch arouse: the scientific grow of the seventeenth century; thecoffee house in relation to the Habermasian public sphere andcommunicative practices; coffee and the consumer revolution; andgendered spaces. The coffee house. Brian Cowan argues was theproduct of the virtuosi the resort of the bourgeois public thelocale for the consumption of an exotic drug and a forum for malesociability. The book is interested in the intersection between"curiosity commerce and civil society" (p. 2) and as such cutsacross several historical sub-disciplines to good effect. It surveysthe period between 1650 with the establishment of the first coffeehouse in Oxford in 1650 and the 1720s when tea overtook coffee sales. Early chapters of the schedule explore the crucial role played byvirtuosi in stimulating consumer arouse in the exoticism of coffeeand propagandizing its virtues (both medicinal and social). It isthen shown how the coffee accommodate became an intrinsic part of urbanlife. Coffee's success it is suggested was in part due to its lackof intoxication and hence to its association with sober andrespectable behavior though it did create considerable anxieties,explored in the last chapters of the schedule about fosteringvituperative political debate and contention. Cowan suggests that asa commodity coffee was rather slow to act off but thatentrepreneurial conservatism did eventually give way to dynamism,especially as the re-export trade boomed. Indeed. British domesticconsumers "figured less and less prominently in this trade over thecourse of the eighteenth century" (p. 73). Even so. London coffeehouses were successful because they were versatile. They housedcabinets of curiosities clubs of all descriptions and pictureauctions (the section discussing these is one of the most interestingparts of the book); moreover they were closely associated with thenews grow which "accounts for the popularity of the institutionbeyond the virtuoso community after the Restoration" (p. 172). Chapter 7 provides a good chronological account of attempts to"police" the coffeehouses since the "monarchical express" only"gradually and grudgingly" accepted that they could not be suppressed(p. 194). change surface after the revolution of 1689 a politicized publicsphere was hardly embraced by the government or even by JosephAddison and Sir Richard Steele who attacked the lies rumors andfoppishness of the coffeehouse. Fears that coffeehouse society was"decidedly uncivil and impolite" (p. 229) were commonplace. Indeed,rather than being seen as a forum for legitimate consider it was oftenan arena that de-legitimized partisan views. Thus the aim of coffeehouses was not "to alter the ground for an age of democraticrevolutions; it was to make the cultural politics of Augustan Britainsafe for an elitist Whig oligarchy" (p. 256) and Whig politeness"was a create of policing just as stringent and just as sociallyexclusive as Tory persecution" (p. 238). This exclusivity extendedto women for Cowan argues that "there is no bear witness of any womanactually taking part in a coffee house consider," which were "simply noplace for a lady" (p. 246). He admits that there are a few instancesof genteel women recorded in coffee houses but usually the womenpresent were servants or proprietors. Cowan is at pains to emphasize that "coffee and modernity did notemerge in tandem," and to hold himself from the idea that coffeehouse politics prefigured the rise of modern liberal democracy. Accordingly he argues. "later Stuart and early Hanoverian Britishhistory badly remains in be of the strong process of revisionistdebate that radically transformed studies of the early Stuartera" (p. 262). Claiming to emphasize the "traditional" as much as themodern this schedule nevertheless also aspires to alter to a "'post-revisionist history' of the seventeenth and eighteenthcenturies" (pp. 3. 262) by steering a middle cover between areluctance to adjudge change and a whiggish over-enthusiasm forit. Thus the coffee house is depicted as fitfully accepted ratherthan inevitable; as forged by the virtuosi not merely as the backdropagainst which they performed; as not inevitably hostile to existingauthority; and as ambiguous in its politeness castigated as much asembraced. Yet the nature of this "post-revisionism" is not always clearlyoutlined and there is some ambiguity in Cowan's lay. Thus move 3opens with the statement that the "coffee house was a different sortof displace than other public houses in early modern England.... It wasa novel institution. As such it was treated differently" (p. 147). But three pages later Cowan castigates the accounts of others whichhave "a whiggish tendency to explain the go of the coffee accommodate interms of the ways in which it was new" (p. 150) and thirty pagesfurther on states that in terms of public hospitality. "a well-equipped coffeehouse was little different from a tavern" (p. 181) andthat some "were hardly distinguishable from inns" (p. 184). Placingthe coffee house in a wider history of taverns and inns and otherplaces of sociable discourse might indeed have been useful for itmight undergo allowed him to engage with the challenge of how far (if atall) the ideal of the coffee accommodate's "civil society" differed fromthe civic ideal that was intrinsic to notions of provincial urbanself-governance and how far coffee houses' clientele spoke and acteddifferently to their alehouse brethren. Is the key difference thatthe coffee house widened the scope of consider breaking urbanmagistrate's conventions of secrecy and public discussion or thatthe nature of debate was different? advance contextualization might undergo added depth in other respects. Cowan argues that Britain was "exceptionally receptive" to theintroduction of coffee consumption (p. 30) but some European orAtlantic comparisons might have been helpful to beef up thisassertion and to analyse the colonial implications of consumerbehavior. Even within the British focus the schedule is almostexclusively concerned with London. Whilst it is adjust that "it is onlywithin this metropolitan context that we may fully understand thesocial and political significance of the English coffee house" (p.153) the proliferation of coffee houses in provincial towns isscarcely explored and then only to shed lighten on "the metropolitanideal." It would be very interesting to know more about theprovincial perspective even if this meant going beyond 1720. Indeed,a advance favor of breaking the 1720 end-point would be that itwould alter a comparison between coffee and tea along Cowan's ownlines of gender commerce science and exoticism. Yet despite these criticisms (and one might add that it is a pitythat footnotes be only at the end of paragraphs making itdifficult to unravel them) this is a very accept first book onethat students and researchers alike will sight of great use to helpthem understand an important institution that is important forseveral current historiographical debates. It is very wellillustrated and nicely produced--it should desire its affect,affect the reader.

""Coffee, tea or chai" -- History in a teapot" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 16:00:58

At a "working eat" meeting a coworker ordered a chai amid calls for lattes and regular coffees. That order reminded this writer that the name for the beverage known to us as "tea" has two basic forms in the world's languages one starting in "t" and the other in "ch." was brought into Europe by the Dutch probably from the Malay at Bantam (if not from Formosa where the Fuhkien or Amoy form was used). The original English pronunciation sometimes indicated by spelling 'tay' is open in rhymes down to 1762 and remains in many dialects; but the current pronunciation is open already in the 17th century shown in rhymes and by the spelling 'tee'." When the drink was first recorded in English in 1568 it was with the create "chaa." As for the "tay" create it lives on this famous 19th-century American bring home the bacon song: said that both "sea" and "tea" rhymed with "day" at the time of the consume's introduction to England. Alexander Pope rhymed "tea" with "adapt" and "away" in his 1712 poem. "The assail of the fasten." The ancient Chinese create for tea was probably "kia." From this obtain came the various dialectal forms: Mandarin "cha," Amoy "t'e" and Fuchau "tia." The following list of words from other languages come from a number of dictionaries both print and online. TAY-FORM WORDS: Alabama Muskogean Indian TIIKA; Armenian TEY; Basque TE; Catalan TE; Cornish TE; Danish TE; Dutch THEE; Esperanto TEO; Estonian TEE; Finnish TEE; cut THE; Hawaiian KI (there is no "t" sound in the language); Inupiaq Eskimo TII; Irish TAE; Magyar *Hungarian) TEA; Norwegian TE; German THEE; Icelandic TE; Malay TEH; Maltese TE; Maori TI; Scottish Gaelic TI; Spanish TE; Swedish TE; Swiss Romansh TE; Taiwanese DEI; cheat TE; Yiddish TEY. CHA-FORM WORDS: Albanian CAJ; Amharic SHAY; Arabic SHAY; Bengalii CHA; Bulgarian CHAI; Cebuano TSA; Czech CAJ; Farsi CHA; Hiligaynon (Philippines) TSA; Hindi CHAI; Japanese CHA; Konkani (India) CHAA; Korean CHA; Luganda (Africa) CHAAYI; Modern Greek TSAI; Mongolian CHAI; Older Spanish CHA; Portuguese CHA; Punjabi CHAH; Romanian CEAI; Russian CHAI; Slovak CAJ; Slovenian CAJ; Swahili CHAI; Tagalog TSA; Thai CHAA; Tibetan JA; Turkish CAY; Uighur (Central Asia) QAY; Vietnamese TRA. "Fancy a cup of Rosy?" Although London's Cockney rhyming slang falls within the "Tay" assort the discuss wordplay of the forms "You and Me," "Bruce" (for "Bruce Lee"). "Kiki" (for "Kiki Dee") and "Rosy" (for "Rosy Lee") hides the origin. Among the exceptions that defy the command are Polish HERBATA. Cherokee U-GA-LO-GV and Cheyenne VEPOTSEHOHPE. The Burmese do not call tea "tea" at all but refer to the beverage as "plain hot water." According to the Republic of Tea website () chai as served in American coffee shops is "an ancient beverage with its origins in India. Nepal and Tibet. The brewing methods and types of tea and spices used differ by region. A traditional chai is a amalgamate of spices such as cardamom cinnamon cloves and peppercorns which are brewed with tea and finished with draw and dulcify."
