Sunday Sermonette: My eyes glaze over
Numbers 28 is basically a repetition of previous instructions to make temple offerings. I haven ' t gone back to compare everything, but it does seem to be very interested in adding substantial quantities of wine and olive oil to the formulas. It also emphasizes how much God loves the smell of burning meat. Remember, however, that it is only the abdominal fat and offal that is burned. The priests get to keep the meat and hides, along with the other swag. In the first reference to wine it is to be " poured out " in the sanctuary but I strongly suspect it wound up being poured down the throats of the priests. The priest...

6 all-natural sex tips for men
If you believe those upbeat, seductive advertisements, men only need to pop a pill to awaken their dormant sex life. Whether the problem is erectile dysfunction (ED) — the inability to maintain an erection for sex — or low libido, ED medications appear to be the quickest and easiest solution. While these drugs work for most men, they are not right for everyone. ED drugs are relatively safe, but can cause possible side effects such as headaches, indigestion, and back pain. Plus, some men may not want their sex life dependent on regular medication, or simply can’t take them because of high or low blood pressure, or...

Sunday Sermonette: Review Lesson
Now seems a good time to take stock of what we have read so far. In Genesis and Exodus, the priesthood has not appeared. While there is no real systematic elucidation of the nature of society, people appear to live in small bands ruled by a hereditary patriarchy. God speaks directly to whoever he wishes, or by means of messengers. There is no designated intermediary. The origin of these stories is murky, but it appears they are derived from oral tradition that got transcribed at various times. Sometimes there are variants of the same story, or contradictory stories. (There is a priest mentioned in Genesis, Melchizedek, but...

Does diet really matter when it comes to adult acne?
When I was a teenager, the advice I got about acne was clear and consistent: Avoid oily foods and chocolate because they trigger breakouts and make existing acne worse Wash your face often Try a topical, over-the-counter remedy such as those containing benzoyl peroxide (Clearasil) or salicylic acid (Stridex). By the time I got to medical school, the message had changed. I learned that the diet-acne connection was considered a myth, and that what we eat has little to do with making acne better or worse. But a new study has once again turned the tables. It suggests that diet might contribute to acne — at least in adults....

Wednesday Bible Study: Descent into the bizarre
 We ' ve had some really weird chapters before, but Numbers 11 is in competition for the Bizzarro Award. Many of the stories and prescriptions in Leviticus and Numbers can be explained as having an essentially political motive -- to entrench the power and wealth of the priesthood, or to create and enforce social order. Much of it, obviously, is about the glorification of God and demonstration of his power. Numbers 11 is in the latter category, but God ' s behavior is just lunatic. There is also a somewhat puzzling story in the middle of it all that may be explicable in political terms but is difficult to interpret. Fr...

White Fragility
Earlier this week I read the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo, which is about how resistant white people can be when it comes to discussing and learning about systemic racism. I thought the book had some interesting insights, although it was more academic and less emotional than I expected. I was expecting something punchier and more story-based whereas sometimes this book felt like a corporate training manual. I also thought it was a bit short relative to the weightiness of the topic. Overall I still found it worth reading, so I’d recommend it if you’re curious about it. I took the main lesson to b...

The Future Of Food And Eating
I do not have to stress how important a role food and eating play in our lives. Food is at the base in Maslow’s hierarchy of our needs; it is essential for our survival. It shows perfectly the creativity of humankind: food exists in the richest variety of ingredients, forms, shapes, tastes and colors all over the world from the Greenlandic kiviak (dozens of small birds stuffed into a seal fermented under a rock) through the Liquid Pea Sphere of molecular gastronomy to the tagliatelle with hand-cut meat ragout from the world’s best restaurant, Osteria Francescana. The advent of novel digital health tools will radicalise...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 27th 2020
In this study, we applied a well studied prediction model developed on data from five CpG sites, to increase the practicability of these tests. We have determined the biological age of the heart, specifically of the right atrium (RA) and left atrium (LA), and of peripheral blood leucocytes, by measuring the mitotic telomere length (TL) and the non-mitotic epigenetic age (DNAmAge). We found that DNAmAge, of both atrial tissues (RA and LA), was younger in respect to the chronological age (-12 years). Furthermore, no significant difference existed between RA and LA, suggesting that, although anatomically diverse and ex...

Sunday Sermonette: The most pointless chapter in the Bible?
Numbers 4 stipulates exactly which Levite clans are responsible for carrying what portions of the tabernacle when the camp moves, and how the sons of Aaron are required to pack everything up. That ' s it. It ' s obsessive-compulsive in its level of detail, and seems to be essentially pointless beyond the general idea that these various inanimate objects must be treated with veneration.Why this was deemed important enough to include in the Torah in the 7th Century BC I cannot say exactly, since of course the Temple at that time was an immobile edifice. I suppose it does lend verisimilitude to the story of wandering in the d...

Eating a Plant Based Diet Correlates with Better Health and Lower Mortality
In a few recent scientific publications, the authors examined the differences in incidence of age-related disease and mortality in populations with differing levels of plant versus animal dietary protein intake. The closer to a vegan diet one approaches, the lower the risk of disease and mortality. There is already plenty of evidence for this outcome in the literature, although, as in all such things, the outstanding questions revolve around which of the possible mechanisms are the important ones. For example, it should be expected that a lesser intake of animal protein will lower inflammation throughout the body. B...
