Harvesting Opium
Opium is the hard juice from the seed capsules of several species of poppy plants. A variety with a big capsule (Papaver somniferum) is often cultivated in commercial production of the substance. Six times or so during a season the capsules are scratched or cut; the juice exuding when hard is picked or scraped off and pressed into cakes.

Sexual Temperance - All excesses and absurdities of every kind should be avoided. Many of the female disorders that often revenge themselves in the cessation of all sexual pleasure are largely due to the excessive practice of sexual indulgence.

Some things should be forever left to the imagination, not something to tease and sample as a means to satiate a curious nature. It is unwise to venture down dark alleys and be sure to cover your bets if you blow on the dice.

About Baseball - Baseball became the National Game in 1885, although it was played to some extent as early as 1840. The first baseball club was known as the New York Knickerbockers, which was organized in 1845, and the first match game was played at Hoboken, NJ, in 1846.

The first rules governing baseball were made in New York City, in 1857. Of an older league, the first champion team was that of New York, in 1858, but it was not until 1868 that team salary began. The National League was formed in 1876, and the American League in 1881.

East India Islands - The East India Islands include Borneo, the largest of these islands.

It is said to have an unhealthy climate, and a fertile soil. Sumatra is a mountainous and wild country. Its forests abound with the elephant, rhinoceros, bear, and wild boar. It has many tropical forests. It produces great coffee beans.

Conjugal Relations - First conjugal approaches are usually painful to the new wife, and no enjoyment to her follows. Great caution and kindness should be exercised.

A young couple rushing into animal passions can soon produce a nervous and irritating condition that long brings apathy, indifference, if not dislike. True love and a high regard for each other will temper passion into moderation. A train leaves the station at a slow and steady pace. Mind your speed.

Old Boozers & Smokers

Now and then we hear how some old folks live long and prosper despite bad habits. Someone you know may come to mind. Betty Jones knows of such a person.
"Aunt Agatha kicked the bucket at 90 years old," recalls Ms. Jones. "Agatha guzzled nightcaps (drank booze) and smoked like a chimney most of her life," said Betty.
"Hagatha smoked Pall Malls, those strong unfiltered cigarettes. In my memory, I can still see the blue smoke and smell the tobacco," she added.
Beer, hard cider, liquor, mixed drinks, spirits and wine are among the nightcaps that people enjoy. For social reasons, many like to drink in the company of friends while others prefer to drink alone by themselves.
Lucky Strikes and Camels cigarettes were smoked more than Pall Malls. Of note, in the good old days, one saw the ads on billboards, radio, TV and in print media. ▪

How can a Boor be Happy? - With a gloomy face, sour disposition, complaining habits and inherent lack of good taste and culture, a boor sees only the shadows of life. Boors repulse folks, not attract them. Brilliant people of refinement and taste will have nothing to do with them. The boor only lives a sorry, complaining, gloomy, life without companions as an outcast from that better society we all desire to know. ▪

Canada's Ontario - This province is a peninsula bordered by Lakes Huron, Erie, and Ontario.

Farming is the chief employment, and barley is an important product. Most of it is used in the manufacture of malt, and "Canada malt" is regarded as the best. Several of the trunk railways whose terminals are in the United States traverse this peninsula. Toronto, the capital and commercial center, is one of the most rapidly growing cities of North America. The region is known as upper Canada.

About Microscopes - The first microscope is said to have been invented by a Dutchman in 1590, but its invention has been largely attributed to Galileo in 1610. The microscope has been perfected until a millionth part of a grain of blood may be detected by means of the spectrum lens. ▪

Stronger Typhoons
Japan TV weather guy Al Kishoji says, “Typhoons are stronger. Facts show how hot air makes strong typhoons and hurricanes.” In nearby Okinawa, rescuers were glad to find waterlogged survivors. People saw a river near a school rise from torrential rains and it swiftly swept away kids from a playground. An Inflatable dinghy came to the rescue.

Female Beauty
Men love beautiful women, for woman's beauty is the highest type of all beauty. A handsome woman needs no diamonds, no silks or satins; her brilliant face outshines diamonds and her form is beautiful in calico. Man's love of female beauty surpasses all other love, and whatever artificial means are used to beautify, to a certain extent are falsehoods which lead to distrust or dislike. Artificial beauty is always an imitation, and never can come into competition with the genuine. No art can successfully imitate nature. Let our nature seek beauty. ▪

Female Flirtation - The young man who loves a young woman has paid her the highest compliment in the possession of man. A smart woman will know about letting others down in a gentle manner. Adding insult to an unwelcome flirtation is inelegant. Perpetrate almost any sin, inflict any other torture, but spare him the agony of disappointment. It is a crime that can never be forgiven, and a debt that never can be paid.

Northern Forests
This forest contains the various species of pine, cedar, and other conifers, the oaks, maples, elms, and birches.

Most of the forests of Europe have been greatly depleted, though those of Norway and Sweden are still productive.
The forests of the United States, extending from Maine to Dakota, have been so well nigh exhausted that by 1950 only a very little good lumber-making timber will be left.

Corn for Animals
In the USA the greater part of the corn crop is consumed where it is grown, being used to fatten swine and cattle.

The market value of a pound of corn is extended greatly by feeding the corn to livestock. A farmer can turn an excess product into one for which there is a steady demand. Although corn is not as essential a staple as wheat, it has a wider range of usefulness.

Are pacemakers stolen?

Yakima, WA — At the open coffin service for her dad, Maggie Flynn wanted to make sure her dad was buried with a decorative gold charm necklace. She was surprised at what she saw.
"I got worried at the funeral," said Maggie. To her shock, she found a fresh cut in his chest where her dad had a pacemaker.

"I thought theft," she feared, to only find out later that funeral parlors take out some medical devices for safety reasons. "It was news to me," she commented.
"I thought they may try to sell it," she claimed. It is reported how one may find used pacemakers for sale on the dark web (Internet). ▪

Puerto Rico - Formerly a Spanish colony, it is now a possession of the USA. The island is about the size of Connecticut. The industries are almost wholly agricultural, and nearly the whole surface is under cultivation. Sugar, coffee, and tobacco are grown for export, and these comprise the chief source of income. The coffee-crop is one of the most valuable products and gets a high price because of its better quality. ●

The Heart Rules in Life
Although genius always commands admiration, character most secures respect. The former is more the result of the brain’s power, the latter of heart power; and in the long run it is the heart that rules in life.

Men of genius stand to society in the relation of its intellect as men of character of its conscience: and while the former are admired, the latter are followed. Follow your heart more closely. ●

About Brazil - Brazil is the largest of the countries of South America and is level and fertile, producing tobacco, sugar, indigo, coffee, and pepper. Diamonds are found here. In the interior, vast herds of wild cattle abound. They are hunted for their hides, which form one of the chief export articles of the country. ◆

When to Call or Text
In the city, formal calls are made between four and six o'clock in the afternoon. Morning calls are thought as informal in the city; they are made only to conduct business, or if you have an appointment. Only an intimate friend is privileged to call in the morning merely for social purposes. Be mindful not only of your time, but that of others. The same for texts!

Influence in Society - You will have no influence unless you are social. An unsocial person is as devoid of influence as an ice-peak is of verdure. It is through social contact and absolute social value alone that you can accomplish any great social good. It is through the invisible lines that you are able to attach to the minds with which you are brought into association alone that you can tow society, with its deeply freighted interests, to the great haven of your hope. ▴

City of the Dead - This is quite unlike any cemetery these days. Here were temples, tombs of kings, queens and wealthy citizens, and the symbolic lake of the dead. Here were unpretentious tombs of the masses. Nor was this all.
We see how Egyptians felt it necessary to supply the dead with all the necessities of life, such as food, furniture, and ornaments. Here were shops where such things might be obtained. Here were embalmers, the makers of linen used by them; here lived the priests who said prayers over each finger and toe of the deceased and made bodies ready for its everlasting home. ▰

About Wool - The wool of commerce is mostly applied to the fleece of the common sheep. There is no hard and fast distinction between hair and wool, but generally wool fibers have rough edges and hair has a hard, smooth surface.

If a mass of loose wool is spread out and beaten, or pressed between rollers, the fibers interlock closely that a thick, strong cloth called felt is made without spinning or weaving.

Deserts in Africa - The moors inhabit the Sahara desert in the north of Africa, and resemble in form and physiognomy, the natives of Europe. The Hottentots inhabit the southern extremity of the country. The wandering Arabs live on the Desert of Sahara, which they are enabled to traverse by the aid of the camel. This animal requires little food, and will live many days without a fresh supply of water.

Readers Are Sexier

Cultivate personal attraction. This means the storing of your mind with knowledge of current events, and with a good idea of the world's progress or lack of it. If you read nothing, zip, zero, and make no effort to make yourself attractive, you will soon sink down into a dull hack of stupidity.

If your partner never hears from you any words of wisdom, or of common information, he or she will soon hear nothing from you. Dress and gossips soon wear out. If your memory is weak, so that it seems not worth the effort to read, that is more reason for reading. Reading is a fundamental need. Expand your thoughts with great topics and ignore mindless drivel like found even where you now look! ■

Forest Products
Outside the foodstuffs, probably no other material is more generally used by human beings than the products of the large beautiful forests. More people live in homes made of wood than made by brick or stone, and more people burn wood than burn coal. Even in steam-making a considerable power is still produced by the use of wood for fuel. So, plant or hug a tree. ▴

Too Much Learning - Do not use old classical quotations before a woman unless you know that, by virtue of a classical education on her own part, she is capable of getting the point. Know more about her.
Remember, too, that there are a great many men who, not having enjoyed your educational advantages, are annoyed, rather than edified by your display of learning.
Do not make a point of exhibiting your learning aggressively anywhere. Do not be a show off about intelligence. 🎓

Metals and Humans
The development of civilization is connected to mining and the manufacture of useful metals. The effects of metal can be understood when we study how and why folks used them.
Next to the discovery of fire, an appreciation of using metals has been big to develop the human intellect. When the ancients left caves to build shelters, cook food, and make clothes, they needed metal tools. ▴

Computer Chip Fossil Found

A polymer resin and ceramic artifact was recently found in Peru. Scientists confirm that it is a fossilized computer flash-type memory chip. It is from an early Inca Native South American archeology site. Read More - Computer Chip Fossil

Carbon dating proves an alien craft crashed 550 years ago at the site. The chip survived a kind of a plasma-photon blast. The chip and a few fragments were the only things found out of the big bang that blasted the craft to shreds.

Japanese investors bought the artifact from an anthropologist after reading about the outlandish claims in the Asia Inquisition, a trashy tabloid newspaper. Studies show the chip works.

The government confirms a patent was granted for a combined type of flash processor and room temperature memory chip (RTM chip), capable of 995 trillion transactions per millisecond (TIPS). It stores all the data you want to keep and it can store human memories.

News of the patent shot tech stocks to all-time highs. The chip is low cost to make and can power at-home supercomputers for everyone. It can replace your brain. The possibilities are endless. The new RTM chip will retail for $69.95.

Consumers will love its capacity and speed. "The RTM chip renders all computers and programs to date as obsolete," Japanese guys scoffed. Technology seems to move quickly, but this shatters all records of advancement.

"It’s really cool. I will be able to run 90,000 processes at once. I will get lots done," explained Joe, a happy 25 year old tech geek. "I already have two CRTs (computer screens) for my left eye, and two CRTs for my right… Now, I’ll have a supreme machine to hack into trash."

Politicians threaten Japan with huge tariffs if its new chips unfairly take unfair and obscene advantage of all the tech markets. Opponents fear Japan will spy and put secret back doors into the chips.

The alien and Inca connection is the last thing to report on in the frenzy to build new apps with the chip. "I marvel at how the alien connection has not even bugged people one iota," says a paranormal researcher at Lupine University.

History buffs point out how Incas were the first to have the alien memory chip and it should be returned to them. The investor is said to be willing to share its profits with Peru’s indigenous tribes. ▰ Click to Close

Light Pollution Problems

Lots of money goes to pay for streetlights and yard lamps. It turns naturally dark, storytelling nights, into overexposed revelations of crass real estate projects, private schools, and empty shopping centers. See More - Pollution

It truly lights up the hell people mistakenly think this life represents. Ancient peoples, including our Native American families, worshiped the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. Even the three wise men in bible times in the Arabian territory, wisely followed the lights under dark night covers.

Astrologers know how to read the messages, and not everyone listens. The dark skies initiative wants to darken things up a bit. "It will put the heavenly lights on our minds again," says Reverend Polly Lumens, a dark sky activist. "People are missing the signs of heaven in front of their eyes," she adds.

The activists want folks to dim lights, set timers, and observe light discipline. They want city streetlights to go dark after one minute when no movement is detected. A goal is so people in the hearts of big cities can catch glimpses of the Milky Way Galaxy, or the dome over which covers the Earth say some. ● Click to Close

Alien Screams Shocker!

The prospect of alien abduction is not only the subject of science fiction books and magazines. A psychologist studies people who claim to be "abductees." Dr. Iverson at the Helsinki University (HELU) confirms it is a real problem. Read More - Alien Screams

"More people now complain about being kidnapped by aliens while asleep in bed," he says.

Iverson released an mp3 audio recording with the horrifying stories of patients who under hypnosis recall vivid and distressing encounters. The stories are told in Finnish and an English version should soon be available in time for holiday gift giving.

The screams are from memories caused by the un-Godly implants and painful probes that aliens must have put into the captive abductees. ▪ Click to Close
