![]() On the shelf below is a nice turned bowl. WoodwareĪ wooden salt box (4) hanging to the left of the fireplace has a traditional sloping lid and carved hanging loop. Smaller iron things on the shelves and nearby include two pairs of sugar cutters (3), a rushlight holder (7), lemon squeezer (1), and vegetable cutter (2) – suitable for hacking up root vegetables and big cabbages. ![]() Some are probably 19th century like the mug, and others could be much earlier, e.g. (There’s an old oven in one of the walls you can’t see.) Selected utensils have been numbered to help with the discussion. Many big kitchens acquired fancier mechanised roasting equipment and cooking ranges or stoves well before 1900, but I understand this room was in use, unmodernised, until 1946. Out of sight above the mantel-shelf are racks for roasting spits, and a cradle-spit for roasting small birds or joints of meat is hanging down into the upper left of the picture. The assorted spoons, ladles, and skimmers look timeless you’d have to examine them hands-on to try guessing their dates. The urn to the left has a brass tap that may be relatively modern. There’s also an “idleback” kettle tilter to help with pouring, probably not there originally. The crane may have arrived in the kitchen in the 17th or 18th century to replace a simpler kind of hanger. In the fireplace the classic iron kettle hanging on a chimney crane is centuries-old way of heating water. When and where did each pot, plate, or tool start its useful life? Does knowing matter? For myself, I enjoy seeing a kaleidoscope of things that have belonged to the house over the generations – but it’s still good to know what’s what.* What can you identify in the picture? Ironware The Tudor open hearth with old iron pots and logs in a smoke-blackened fireplace is wonderful, but when did that protective fireguard appear? The things on the shelves come from various different periods in the life of the house. The picture above is of a 16th century English manor house kitchen, amazingly unchanged in its basic structure. Whenever I travel I look out for historic houses, especially if they have kitchens worth visiting, and enjoy picking out bits and pieces for a closer look.Īnd yet the room often isn’t the way it would have looked at any time in its life.

They maintain the power supplies and facilities that keep scientific experiments operating remotely through the winter, when it is dark for 24 hours and the temperature falls below minus 50 degrees Celsius (minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit). Since then, staff have been deployed only during the Antarctic summer between November and March, with 21 researchers currently on-site. ![]() The mobile research base was relocated to the station about 20km (12.4 miles) further inland in 2016 as cracks in the ice threatened to cut it off. The iceberg, which has yet to be named by the US National Ice Center, is now expected to drift off with the current along the Antarctic coast like previous massive icebergs.īritain’s Halley VI Research Station monitors the state of the vast floating ice shelf daily but is unaffected by the latest rupture. In the years since, the gap widened until the chunk of ice broke away.Ī similar spectacular separation, involving a 1,270sq km (490 square miles) iceberg, occurred about a year ago. The fissure in the ice sheet, which researchers named Chasm-1, was discovered years ago. Scientists refer to “calving” when chunks of ice break off at the terminus, or end, of a glacier. “This calving event has been expected and is part of the natural behaviour of the Brunt Ice Shelf,” said BAS glaciologist Dominic Hodgson. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) said the formation of the new iceberg was not due to climate change – which is accelerating the loss of sea ice in the Arctic and parts of Antarctica – but to a natural process called “calving”. The iceberg, measuring 1,550sq km (598 square miles), detached from the 150-metre (492-foot)-thick Brunt Ice Shelf a decade after scientists first spotted massive cracks in the shelf. Currents will take it on a north-northeast arc, pushing it toward the South Georgia and Sandwich Islands, just as others before it.A huge iceberg nearly the size of Greater London has broken off the Antarctic ice shelf near a research station, the second such split in two years, researchers said. The massive iceberg that's now floating along in the Southern Ocean, off the coast of Antarctica, will likely break up over time, Shuman said. "But at the moment, we don't think it'll have a dramatic impact on this ice in the Antarctic Peninsula," Shuman said. If that happens, there would be a rise in sea levels. And if they see the shelf pulling away from the ice that's holding it where it is, that could add to the chance of the Larsen C collapsing entirely. However, if they see the region's slow-moving glaciers start to speed up, things could change in years to come. Yes, the Larsen C will have retreated farther west than we've ever known it to have retreated before," Shuman said. "On the other hand, it has dropped large before."Īs for whether this could result in more inland ice sheets making their way to the ocean, ultimately leading to ocean rise, Shuman said that should remain stable right now, because so much of the ice shelf is left. "Obviously we have been seeing climate change impacts, and it's possible that this is going to put the ice shelf in a much more vulnerable position."Īntarctica is home to several ice shelves, with some of the biggest highlighted here. "There have been large increases in temperature in this region over the last half-century or so," said Martin O'Leary, a research scientist and glaciologist at Swansea University. The huge iceberg - which measures more than 1,550 square kilometres - broke away from the 150 metre. Still, this calving event occurred in an area of the Antarctic that has experienced a warming trend since the 1950s. A vast iceberg equivalent to the size of Greater London has broken off the Antarctic ice shelf. Well, that's an awful lot that's gone missing.' On the other hand, there have been previous large bergs from this area." "This is a worrisome sign for the Larsen C: you can't lose 12 or 13 per cent of your area from an ice shelf and not think, 'Hmm. "We just can't make a clear connection to this being driven by climate change at this time," Shuman said. Antarctic ice melt tied to El Nino warming.Climate change is making Antarctica greener.And while there is a lot of talk about how climate change is affecting the poles, the calving, or breaking off, of parts of ice shelves can't be directly linked to warming temperatures, as it's something that's been seen throughout recorded history. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rearrange the letters to find some common words related to Easter.

Choose a spot that’s away from the main area and that can be easily screened off. This is achieved through the use of natural elements that work in harmony with each other.Ĭreating a zen garden on a budget is easy if you scale it down to just a small section of your backyard. A zen garden should instill peace and serenity. It’s inspired by Buddhism and has been very popular in Japanese gardens for many centuries. So, what is a zen garden?Ī zen garden utilizes natural elements in muted color schemes to provide a space for quiet contemplation and even meditation. There are plenty of ways that you can create a tranquil and relaxing space in your garden when you’re on a budget. A zen garden should not contain a pond or be near a body of water.Creating a zen garden in your own backyard need not break the bank. The term “shakkei” means borrowed landscape, and it refers to the practice of using surrounding landscape to make the garden appear to extend beyond its boundaries. These features add a sense of distance, and you can use them as a focal point to aid meditation. Try different layouts to see what natural elements the design calls to mind.Ī zen garden can also contain a simple bridge or path and lanterns made of rock or stone. Upright or vertical stones can be used to represent trees, while flat, horizontal stones represent water. The symbolism of the stones in a zen garden is one of the most important design elements. The result should encourage introspection and meditation. You can add plants, but keep them to a minimum and use low, spreading plants instead of upright ones. ![]() Place rocks on top of the sand to make a soothing pattern. Sand raked into a round, spiral or rippled pattern represents the sea. How to Create a Zen GardenĬarefully raked sand or gravel with precisely placed rocks are the main parts of a zen garden. The design and structure of the gardens have been refined over the years, but the basic structure remains the same. ![]() Later, they began using the gardens to teach zen principles and concepts. In the sixth century, Zen Buddhist monks created the first zen gardens to aid in meditation. Zen gardens emphasize the principles of naturalness (Shizen), simplicity (Kanso), and austerity (koko). If you’re more likely to find serenity in the natural look of a woodland setting and find peace when surrounded by wildflowers and soft-textured plants, you should think about a more traditional or natural garden. Zen gardens, also called Japanese rock gardens, appeal to people who like carefully controlled settings of raked sand or rocks and precisely clipped shrubs. Read this article to find out more about Japanese zen gardens so you can reap the benefits they provide. Creating a zen garden is a great way to reduce stress, improve your focus, and develop a sense of well-being. ![]() ![]() ![]() This time, the snakes that are detached from her head are launched directly at Simon's current position as flying projectiles.

After these events, he gave the head to the goddess Athena who placed it on her aegis (or shield in other versions of the story).Īnother version of Medusa's origin places her as a former mortal priestess of the goddess Athena who was assaulted by the god Poseidon inside her temple. Medusa's head retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, which Perseus used as a weapon, most prominently to defeat the sea monster Cetus, sent by Poseidon, and save Andromeda, who he married later. When Perseus beheaded her, Pegasus, a winged horse, and Chrysaor, a golden sword-wielding giant, were born from her bleeding body. During that time, Medusa was pregnant by Poseidon. Medusa was the only one of the three Gorgons who was mortal, so Perseus was able to slay her while looking at the reflection from the mirrored shield he received from Athena. He received a mirrored shield from Athena, winged sandals from Hermes, a sword from Hephaestus, and Hades's helm of invisibility. The gods were well aware of this and Perseus received their aid. In most versions of the story, Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who was sent to fetch her head by King Polydectes of Seriphus in order to keep him occupied because he wanted to marry Perseus's mother. The famous sculpture Perseus with the Head of Medusa portrays him wielding a harpe. Their genealogy is shared with other three sisters, the Graeae. The three Gorgon sisters, Medusa, Stheno and Euryale, were all children of the ancient marine deities Phorcys and his sister Ceto, chthonic monsters from an archaic world. 4.1 Wai Wai World 2: SOS!!

For example, lead poisoning may result from the ingestion of paint or paint-soaked plaster, hairballs may cause intestinal obstruction and Toxoplasma or Toxocara infections may follow ingestion of feces or soil. Complications Ĭomplications may occur due to the substance consumed. ![]() This pattern of eating should last at least one month to meet the time diagnostic criterion of pica. Xylophagia (wood, or wood products such as paper).Trichophagia (hair, wool, and other fibers).Geophagia (earth, soil, sand, clay, chalk).Amylophagia (purified starch, as from corn).Subtypes are characterized by the substance eaten: Pica is the consumption of substances with no significant nutritional value such as soap, plaster, or paint. Signs and symptoms Chalky stone composed of kaolinite with traces of quartz, small pieces of which were sucked on by a person with pica. Pica can also be found in animals such as dogs and cats. Cases of severe bacterial infections occurrence (leptospirosis) in patients diagnosed with pica have also been reported. Another risk of eating soil is the ingestion of animal feces and accompanying parasites. In addition to poisoning, a much greater risk exists of gastrointestinal obstruction or tearing in the stomach. A similar risk exists from eating soil near roads that existed before the phase-out of tetraethyllead or that were sprayed with oil (to settle dust) contaminated by toxic PCBs or dioxin. Children eating painted plaster containing lead may develop brain damage from lead poisoning. Pica is most commonly seen in pregnant women, small children, and people who may have developmental disabilities such as autism. Stressors such as psychological trauma, maternal deprivation, family issues, parental neglect, pregnancy, and a disorganized family structure are risk factors for pica. Pica has been linked to other mental disorders. In addition, it can cause surgical emergencies to address intestinal obstructions, as well as more subtle symptoms such as nutritional deficiencies and parasitosis. Pica may lead to intoxication in children, which can result in an impairment of both physical and mental development. Īccording to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), pica as a standalone eating disorder must persist for more than one month at an age when eating such objects is considered developmentally inappropriate, not part of culturally sanctioned practice, and sufficiently severe to warrant clinical attention. The term was drawn directly from the medieval Latin word for magpie, a bird subject to much folklore regarding its opportunistic feeding behaviors. The ingested or craved substance may be biological, natural or manmade. It can be a disorder in itself or medical phenomena. Pica is the eating or craving of things that are not food. ![]() |
