Agriculture, Myths of Creation and a Great Flood, Harvest Gods and Sacrifices. Farming created more food, and more food made possible more people. Agricultural societies became more densely populated than hunter-gatherer societies. And farmers were more dependent on the weather than were hunter-gatherers, who had been free to drift from drought to areas that had more game and wild foods. Among agricultural people, relying on crops made life less secure. Domesticated plants were vulnerable to insect ravages in ways that wild plants were not. Archaeologists have found in the bones of children in agricultural societies more signs of malnutrition than that of people living from hunting and gathering, and the average height of early farming populations have been discovered to be shorter than that of hunter-gatherers.
Needing rain for their crops, people in agricultural societies tried evoking magic in the form of imitation. For good harvests, early farmers were eager to please the gods by sending them what gifts they could. The Story of Mankind. History/Myths/Religion.

Unreported Heritage News: Scribbled by a community of nuns – Ancient Coptic graffiti adorns walls of 3,200 year-old Egyptian temple. Who says nuns don’t have any fun? A new research project led by Professor Jennifer Westerfeld, of the University of Louisville, is taking a look at a unique set of graffiti scribbled onto the walls of a 3,200 year old Egyptian temple. The temple was built at Abydos by Seti I, a powerful pharaoh who pushed the borders of the Egyptian empire as far as modern day Syria.
It contains two courtyards, two hypostyle halls, chapels and an enigmatic structure known as the “Osireion,” which may commemorate the Egyptian story of creation. Today this complex is covered in a large amount of graffiti dating from ancient times up until the medieval period. “A significant corpus of late antique graffiti from the temple appears to have been produced by a community of Coptic nuns who periodically visited the site,” she writes in the abstract of a paper recently presented at the annual meeting of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE).
Leyte Samar Daily Express | Waray-waray defended. Waray-waray defended By Rolando O. Borrinaga Tacloban City (Published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, November 29, 2003.) THE WARAY-WARAY, the people who speak the Bisayan language of Leyte and Samar, remains a scorned linguistic group at present. Thus, many native speakers of this language prefer to hide their ethnic identity outside the region by speaking another language, oftentimes Tagalog with either a heavy or queer accent. The ethnic label was always "Waray-waray" (with stress on all syllables), to refer to both the people and the predominant language of Eastern Visayas. The movie and its theme song, the title of which was grossly mispronounced by the Tagalog actors, made them the cultural scapegoats for the underside of the Filipino nature. Somehow, in recent decades, half of the two same-word label got lost or was dropped, and the word "Waray" (with stress on the second syllable) was appropriated to substitute for the original label.

By Badrinaryan Badrinaryan For decades archaeologists have argued about the origins of the mysterious “Harappan” (Indus Valley) civilisation that flourished across what is now Pakistan and northwest India from about 3000 BC. Now, new findings by Indian scientists working in the Gulf of Cambay suggest that the Harappans were descended from an advanced mother culture that flourished at the end of the last Ice Age that was then submerged by rising sea levels before ‘history’ began. Report by BADRINARYAN BADRINARYAN, chief geologist with the scientific team from the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) responsible for the underwater surveys in the Gulf of Cambay. It was generally believed that a well organized civilization could not have existed prior to 5500 BP.
Many were reluctant to accept that the flood myths mentioned in many ancient religious writings held some grains of truth.

If you've ever found yourself on the phone with a customer service representative telling you it would cost more to fix your electric tea kettle than to just buy a new one, you are well acquainted with the concept of "planned obsolescence.
" The good news is that people across the world are getting wise to the intentional design flaws hoisted upon us by clever manufacturers eager to sell more products, and are coming up with new and creative ways to salvage perfectly usable things. Repair Cafés are not only great events to get your vacuum, waffle iron, or lawn mower fixed, but the very nature of their collaborative and community-oriented learning spirit contains the antidote to our modern day throw-away mentality.
Conceived by Martine Postma, a Dutch journalist who was no longer willing to just accept that she had to throw things out that could easily be salvaged, the first Repair Café debuted three years ago in Amsterdam.

Wednesday, 12 October 2011 GreenMuze Staff Milan’s Vertical Forest from Stefan Boeri Architects. The Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) will be the greenest building in Milan when completed, which is one of Europe’s most polluted cities. Designed by Stefan Boeri Architects, as part of their BioMilano vision to incorporate 60 abandoned farms into a greenbelt surrounding the city.
The Bosco Verticale building has a green façade planted with dense forest systems to provide a building microclimate and to filter out polluting dust particles. Each apartment balcony will have trees (900 plantings are planned for the two buildings) that will provide shade in the summer and drop their leaves in winter to allow in winter sunlight.

Middle School in Berkeley, California Seventeen years ago, Alice Waters was quoted in a local newspaper, claiming that the school she passed every day looked like no one cared about it. Neil Smith, then principal of Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School, contacted Alice with the acre of blighted land on the school's grounds firmly in mind. He wanted her to see the school and perhaps find a way to help. It was clear to Alice: she wanted to start a garden and build a teaching kitchen that could become tools for enriching the curriculum and life of the school community. Recognizing the potential of the idea, Zenobia Barlow and the Center for Ecoliteracy provided funding for the Edible Schoolyard Berkeley's (ESY Berkeley) first full-time garden director, David Hawkins. In the fall of our third year, the kitchen became a reality.
By year five, ESY Berkeley taught ten 90-minute classes a week in both the garden and kitchen. Blog | The Aquaponic Source. Urban farming guys. Growing Power. Wilson Solar Grill Stores the Sun's Energy For Nighttime Grilling. Many of us will be firing up our grills this weekend for some well-deserved barbecue time. After all, barbecuing is one of America’s greatest pastimes, but it certainly isn’t one of our most environmentally friendly.
Whether you prefer charcoal, wood chips or propane, grilling releases emissions and contributes to poor air quality. Up until now, solar powered grilling has required, as you might expect, the sun, which means traditional fuel-fired grills are required after sunset. But new solar technology developed by MIT professor David Wilson could bring a nighttime solar-powered grill to the market very soon; an invention also of great benefit to those in developing nations who rely on wood to cook all their food. Wilson’s technology harnesses the sun and stores latent heat to allow cooking times for up to an amazing twenty five hours at temperatures above 450 degrees Fahrenheit. A group of MIT students are working with the technology to develop a prototype solar grill. Via Treehugger. Food Places.

How To: Work with Canned Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce. Every time I write a post including canned chipotle peppers I think we should really have a resource post for those who aren’t familiar with them or might even be afraid to try something new. So here we go! What are they? Chipotles are small peppers (often jalapenos), usually 2-3 inches long that have been dried by a smoking process that gives them a dark color and a distinct smoky flavor. The canned variety we are talking about are canned in a red sauce that has a fantastic, smoky flavor as well. Where do I find them?
Are they spicy? Is there an alternative? How do I handle them? Most recipes call for a very small amount and I feel like it’s a waste to buy an entire can. Me too! Line an ice cube tray with plastic wrap. I really like to have my sauce and my peppers separated because I have a lot of recipes where I just use the sauce, and others where I use the peppers, and some where I use both. I pulse it a few times until they’re very finely minced. Here’s some of our favorites! Chipotle Chocolate Chili. Okay, for any of you who have been reading for awhile, you’ll know that I have uber-picky eaters at my house, namely my husband and my son.
So imagine my surprise when I made this chili for the first time last year and both of them ate it up. Willingly. And then they had more. And then my husband told me that this was THE chili recipe he’d been longing for the whole time we’d been married. So imagine his surprise when I told him that this was no ordinary chili–there’s a rather unusual ingredient that you’d think would be gross, but it adds a depth and complexity to the flavor of the chili that makes it taste as though it’s been simmering all day. Luckily for you, it’s more like 30-40 minutes. The bones of this recipe come from Cooking Light. I’m betting there are some chili cook offs in your future, so give this twist on an old classic a shot! Chipotle Chocolate Chili 1 lb. lean ground turkey 1 large onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, minced 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 1 15-oz. can beef broth.

Dried Chipotle Pepper Pods The standard way to find them, there are several varieties of chipotle peppers, each with their own nuances. In general they have a nice smokey flavor with medium heat (compared to some of the hotter peppers). Chipotle pepper pods can be added whole to soups, sauces, and chili to impart a nice kick.
Chipotle Peppers in Adobo These are chipotle peppers that have been stewed in a lightly seasoned liquid, normally a vinegar mixture. Chipotle Pepper Chili Powder One of the easiest ways to get the flavor of chipotle peppers is to use the powdered version.

The secret is whisking rich sour cream right into the eggs. Add some seasonings and then gently fold the eggs in your hot skillet to scramble them. Remove them from the heat and add pepperjack cheese, diced roasted red bell peppers, sliced green onions, and cilantro. Gently fold the egg mixture together and douse it with a little hot sauce Place egg mixture on soft flour tortillas.
Roll them up, brush with a little oil and bake in the oven to perfection. While the taquitos are baking you can whip up your dipping sauce.

Posted by Heading Out on August 12, 2012 - 4:39am Topic: Supply/Production Tags: brunei, china, malaysia, oil reserves, oil rig, paracel islands, philippines, south china sea, spratly islands, taiwan, thailand, vietnam [list all tags] In the introductory remarks to these posts on Chinese energy supplies and usage, I mentioned that one of the concerns beginning to be evident lies in disputes over the ownership of some of the oilfields offshore. Disputes over ownership have been continuing for some time, and this week was no exception, with Chinese moves to create a new city, Sansha, on Woody Island and thereby strengthen their claim to the region.
Woody Island, or Yongsing, lies in the Paracel chain of islands in the South China Sea. (The post has been slightly modified to recognize the speculative nature of the overall resource available.)
