The first civilization to embrace wine whole-heartedly was that of Ancient Greece. And his book is loaded with the kind of data that get talked about at the figurative water cooler. Power plays in India and China as opium was traded for tea increased the economic might of the British empire abroad. For better or worse, Standage concludes, Coke is the drink of the 20th century—often called the American century. Стоимость международной доставки и импортные сборы уплачены компании Pitney Bowes Inc. But now I'm done, so he can read all the little leftover bits where I managed to hold my tongue and let him enjoy his own book which probably wasn't half so interesting.
The human consumption of animal milk, for example, is an interesting story with important implications but we don't learn about that. Part of me wanted more, thinking it had to be more interesting than what I was reading. The marketing of tea and tea paraphernalia provided additional evidence of the emergence of consumerism in England. In ancient Greece wine became the main export of her vast seaborne trade, helping spread Greek culture abroad. What primary advantage does globalization offer the people of developing countries? It's light and breezy, and you stand to lose very little by taking the time. Beer was one of the first drinks mankind made, and some theories about how it happened, ancient stories about it, and its importance to ancient cultures I read about this book and was interested in the concept.
I initially gave it three stars only because it was not an easy read. Beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and by 3000 B. Wine was believed to bring out the inner wisdom of an individual during the consumption. Совершенно новый: Новая, непрочитанная, неиспользованная книга в отличном состоянии без отсутствующих или поврежденных страниц. Tom Standage is a writer for The Economist, and this book, A History of the World in 6 glasses, reads well. This would probably be a great book to read, though. Yours, Figgiegj in Colorado Excellent Book World history is, at best, an intimidating subject.
Slavery had been out lawed since the Roman times for religious reasons. Only in the past ten thousand years or so have other beverages emerged to challenge the preeminence of water. And Coke brings you to the present, where corporations, branding, globalization, and the relationship between business and government can be explored in an interesting way through the development of Coca-Cola. Be as creative as you wish. I seem to be in a phase where I like books that show me the hidden life of the everyday things all around us, especially food and drink. The Pure Food and Drug Act at first looked good for it, removing some rivals, but then there was a big law suit accusing it of being contaminated by containing caffeine -- and sold to children, even, unlike tea or coffee.
What was the result of the Chinese Civil War? First to break the Arab monopoly were the Dutch, who displaced the Portuguese as the dominant European nation in the East Indies during the seventeenth century, gaining control of the spice trade in the process and briefly becoming the world's leading commercial power. It was one of the reasons that other countries wanted to be like America. Coffee was discovered in the Middle East but came into its own in England where there was concern about the overindulgence of intoxicating drinks. I'd recommend A History of the World in 6 Glasses only to those interested in culinary history and esoterica. They would use my notes, as well as additional materials I would assemble, in order to draw comparisons between the beverages and piece together a narrative of world history over time. Beer was a big part of the development of domestication and agriculture, and he goes through how it probably developed and what customs still survive. What was the outcome of the Korean War? Because its people craved tea, the British Empire depending heavily on China, and this eventually led to the Opium Wars on the 1830s.
It's doubtful, but I might get back to it at some point. I think the last chapter, on CocaCola, let the book down slightly though. This assignment will give you an overview of the time periods, regions, and cultural customs we cover in Honors and Advanced Placement World history. He talks of beer as a discovery rather than an invention, and how it was first used alternately as a social drink with a shared vessel, as a form of edible money, and as a religious offering. Coca-Cola started as the number one soft-drink in the world and still holds that title. Mesopatmia treated drunkness more humorously, and Egypt more gravely, with many injunctions against it, but both civilizations drank.
It should be illustrated appropriately and dense with detail. The Arabs had a monopoly on beans, while the Dutch were middlepersons in the trade and then set up coffee plantations in Java and Suriname. This college-level class entails the study of 10,000 years of history in 35 weeks. The only thing that detracted from my enjoyment of the second half of this book was the way that Standage's own personal socioeconomic views seeped into the section on Coca-Cola, so that by the end it started reading like a pro-free-trade pamphlet. If it is a region you are identifying, use red diagonal lines to denote the region. In Europe in the 1600s, a movement called the Enlightenment began.
First off, let me just say that if the concept of this book interests you, by all means you should read it. สนุกมาก รับรองวาเมืออานจบแลวเวลาจะดืมเครืองดืมเหลานี จะมีมุมมองทีเปลียนไป และเราจะพยายามสัมผัสรสชาดของมันมากขึน พอๆกับนึกถึงประวัติความเปนมาของมัน สนุกมาก รับรองว่าเมื่ออ่านจบแล้วเวลาจะดื่มเครื่องดื่มเหล่านี้ จะมีมุมมองที่เปลี่ยนไป และเราจะพยายามสัมผัสรสชาดของมันมากขึ้น พอๆกับนึกถึงประวัติความเป็นมาของมัน I read about this book and was interested in the concept. And some of ingredients' stories, told partly and in passing, would also be very interesting on their own: sugarcane and chocolate, for instance. But the pope had the final say. The only light relief came in the form of 1066 and All That by W. Boiling the water made it, like all the alcoholic drinks, safer than water, and it was very popular with the information classes of the day, the expanding class of clerks, for instance. This book explores the historical development of the telegrap Tom Standage is a journalist and author from England.

Stunning Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra concept looks like the next Galaxy Note
By Philip Michaels published 13 October 21
The Galaxy S22 Ultra could have a design just like this
(Image credit: Technizo Concept/Let's Go Digital)
When the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup debuts next year, the Galaxy S22 Ultra could be the replacement for the Galaxy Note line.
We've already seen rumors that the S22 Ultra will have an integrated stylus, so you wouldn't have to buy the S Pen separately. And now a new set of renders shows how the design could look, complete with a flatter edge aesthetic and new camera layout.
Best Samsung phones: How we rank the current models
Samsung Galaxy S22 vs. Phone 13: Can Samsung beat Apple?
Plus: Google Maps just got a killer upgrade that will save you time
The design, created by Parvez Khan of Technizo Concept and shared by Dutch blog Let's Go Digital, features the same number of lenses and sensors that rumors have suggested for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Only in this case, the designer has opted for two separate camera islands, with the laser AF sensor and second telephoto lens off on their own separate strip.
It's a much more minimal look than the P-shaped block seen in other Galaxy S22 renders. And, frankly, I think it's a lot more in line with what Samsung pulled off with the Galaxy S21 lineup.
One of the design highlights of the S21 was the phone's contour-cut design where the camera array blended into the side of the phone. That made the array feel much more seamless and incorporated into the phone's overall look. A P-shaped island would undo that effort, while the separate strips in the Technizo Concept design look a little less jarring.
There's another consideration in favor of that approach, Let's Go Digital reports — it would also keep the weight down on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. That's not an insignificant consideration given that the S21 Ultra tipped the scales at a hefty 8.08 ounces, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra may have to make room for an included S Pen — another rumor associated with the upcoming flagship.
That S Pen holster is on display in the Technizo Concept video, as is another rumored feature reportedly coming to the Galaxy S22 lineup — an under-display camera on the front of the phone. The under-display camera on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 underwhelmed, and there's been some debate as to whether Samsung will go this route with the S22 series.
As for the rear Galaxy S22 Ultra cameras, rumors point to an improved version of the 108MP main camera found in the Galaxy S21 Ultra (and not a 200MP sensor as had been previously rumored). There's no word on potential improvements to the S21 Ultra's 12MP ultrawide angle shooter or its pair of 10MP telephoto lenses (one with a 3x zoom, the other with a 10x zoom). Samsung is reportedly focusing on software improvements for the S22 cameras, highlighted by a continuous zoom feature that reduces the need for digital adjustments.
Ultimately, we're still waiting on a more official word on what the Galaxy S22 Ultra will look like in advance of its release next year. Neither the p-shaped camera module nor Technizo Concept's separate island approaches are nailed on to be the look of Samsung's next flagship. But if it did come down to those two designs, we know which one we'd want.

The Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) has commenced a Nationwide Technical Monitoring and Evaluation of the primary 33KV feeder lines and associated 33/11KV injection substations with supply source from 330/132/33KV transmission substations, reports ITRealms.
The exigency of the exercise is to identify constraints militating against quick realization of the Federal Government's policy and efforts for sustainability of the incremental, stable and uninterrupted power supply as they are achieved through the 33KV primary feeder lines to the 33/11KV injection substations and subsequently through the 11KV feeder lines and associated distribution transformers and finally to the consumers. Also this is to identify the high risk and technical loss points along the 33KV feeder lines. Again this is to enable us find out the causes/reasons for load rejection by the DisCos and to make recommendations for dealing with identified issues/challenges.
Engr. Peter O. Ewesor, the MD/CEO NEMSA & Chief Electrical Inspector of the Federation, while on one of the inspections, said "the importance of the exercise cannot be overemphasized in light of the spate of the increasing number of electrical accidents and incidents, power failures/outages at the downstream-of the power value chain (power distribution networks) even when there is a huge increase in power generation in the grid system".
The exercise, which commenced on the 18th of October, 2017, has so far covered Abuja, Ikeja, Kano, Benin, Port Harcourt, Kaduna and Enugu DisCo's networks and the exercise is still ongoing.
Furthermore, Engr. Ewesor said "the exercise will identify high risk defective networks that pose serious threat and danger to operators' operational staff and the general public for immediate attention and correction/rectification by respective DisCos and TCN.
Therefore, the importance and the expected positive impact of this National Technical Monitoring and Evaluation exercise which is part fulfillment of NEMSA's mandate cannot be overemphasized.
During the exercise, some of the DisCos were given immediate order to effect rectification of the defects and lack of procedures that were observed.

Karnataka bans iron ore exports
By IANS-CT / July 30, 2010
Bangalore, July 29 (IANS) Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa Thursday announced a ban on export of iron ore from Karnataka , saying that it was the only way to stop illegal mining in the state.
He also clamped a ban on transport of iron to other states.
Yeddyurappa told reporters here that the ban will be in force till the completion of a state Lok Ayukta (ombudsman) probe into illegal mining in the last 10 years, between 2000 and 2010.
He had Wednesday banned issue of permits for transporting iron ore for exports.
The chief minister's decision comes against the backdrop of a raging controversy in the state over illegal mining and export of iron ore.
Between 2000 and 2010, over 30 million tonnes of iron ore was illegally mined and exported from Karnataka, according to data provided by Yeddyurappa to the state assembly.
The Congress has dubbed it a 'scam of the century' involving up to Rs.600 billion (Rs.60,000 crore).
The Congress is on a march from Bangalore to iron ore rich Bellary, 320 kms away, demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into illegal mining.
Bellary is the political base of Reddy brothers, powerful mine owners and ministers in Yeddyurappa's cabinet.
The Congress began the march July 25 and will reach Bellary Aug 9 for a rally. The party leaders and workers are walking 20 kms a day to cover the 320 kms in 16 days.
Yeddyurappa has rejected handing over the probe to CBI saying it will only delay the findings and credibility of the agency is in doubt.
The Congress and the other opposition party in the state Janata Dal-Secular alleged that the Reddy brothers are involved in largescale illegal mining and export of iron ore.
The Reddys, Tourism Minister G. Janardhana, his elder brother Revenue Minister G. Karunakara and younger brother and assembly member G. Somashekara have denied the charges.
The brothers, who own the Obulapuram Mining Company, Thursday launched 'swabhiman' campaign in Bellary to counter what they called Congress and JD-S attempts to malign not only them but the district also.
Their loyalist, Health Minister B. Sriramulu Wednesday tonsured his head and announced he will walk barefoot and eat only fruits till Aug 26 when senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj is expected to visit Bellary.
The Reddy brothers and Sriramulu call Swaraj as their 'thayi' (mother). She had brokered a compromise in October-November last year when the Reddy brothers led a revolt against Yeddyurappa.
The Reddys became close to Swaraj when she contested the 1999 Lok Sabha election against Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Since then Swaraj has been visiting Bellary almost every year to perform 'Varamahalakshmi pooja' (worship of wealth goddess Lakshmi). The festival, a major one in Karnataka, this year falls on Aug 26.

PM Imran in US: opportunity to refresh relations
Analysis Arts and Culture Featured
Tania Qureshi February 12, 2019
The Royal Kitchens present inside the Lahore Fort have been revived and are now open to visitors. Cultural events frequently take place at the location
An astonishing 'no go area' inside Lahore Fort has now been conserved and turned into a tourist spot, but many of us are still unaware of the majesty of this place which was hidden in the fort since ages. Hardly anyone ever dared to walk in there because of the depressive and deserted conditions of this place.
This was the Royal Kitchen "Shahi Bawarchi Khana" of Lahore Fort which was once the scented area filled with tempting cuisines cooked for the royals and nobility of the Lahore Fort. Finding this place was one thing and conserving it was another uphill task. After much ado, the work has been completed. Now it is frequented by visitors and tourists and cultural events are held at this venue now.
You must be thinking where this gem is hidden inside the fort! This kitchen is located behind the Alamgiri Gate. As you climb up the royal ramp while entering the fort through British era postern gate, you will find it on your right and a directional board will tell you its location or you can take a tourist guide along. A narrow steep passage will lead you to this kitchen and take you into a huge courtyard bordered with antique arches and walkways. No doubt it is a mind blowing site, but you need to visit this place to believe and experience the majesty of the past.
Don't be amazed with the present structures; let me take you into the appalling past. Almost three years ago, there were waist high shrubs amidst the danger of reptiles in this area and no one could dare going there. It was a dreadful spot with all the stunning arches failing apart and some of the edifices had already collapsed to the ground. The ages old bricks and mortar were falling out of the structures and the roof was almost colliding with deceased degenerated arches.
I would suggest that now you go to Royal Kitchen with the above picture in your mind and then you will feel the marked difference in the past and present scenario of the place.
Let me tell you a little about the history of this place and how it turned into a deserted site. This kitchen was built during the era of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan who was famous for building outstanding monuments and structures in Lahore. Keeping his aesthetics and values in mind, you can well imagine the grandeur of this structure too. It was where the food and delicious cuisines with special Mughal recipes and spices were prepared along with a huge variety of drinks and sweets. The helpers in their showy dresses, head gears and superior crockery would carry the cuisines from the kitchen to the chambers of the king, queen, princes, princesses and other courtiers. Any emperor or nobles of the neighboring areas were also served with food cooked in this very kitchen but who knew the fate of this place after the fall of Mughals.
Then came the rule of Sikhs and the Royal Kitchens were messed up. It was converted into a food and grain store room. At the same time it was changed into a stable for horses. Thus the kitchen was no more there, what a pity!
After the Sikhs, British took over the fort and in 1849 converted the Royal Kitchens into interrogation cells and jails. Who would have thought of such a use of this majestic place?
The elegance of the Royal Kitchen breathed its last. It was during the British rule that the open and huge verandas were masked with bricks and new structures like iron doors and beams were added along with the erection of an upper storey. The upper storey served as offices and rooms for policemen. The electricity supply lines, sewage system and water drains were laid in the kitchen by the British and finally the entire look and feel of the exquisite place was changed and turned into a gloomy mood.
After the Independence in 1947 nothing much changed in this site and the Police Department continued using it as interrogation cells until late 1980's, when they were handed over to the Archaeology Department.
During the riots of Independence and later as well the kitchen was further damaged and the beams, wooden doors, windows were taken away and most of the parts were destroyed. Later, the offices of Archaeology Department were constructed there. The building that we see today is the remaining part of the huge kitchen complex. Most of the parts were pulled down and some collided with neglect and aging.
Then in 2015 the Walled City of Lahore Authority took up the initiative of restoring the glory of the kitchen and started cleaning up the place from scratch, and removed all the wild plantation and debris. Experienced architects and conservationists were called in to help and examine the conservation course of action. The idea of the conservation project was to safeguard the royal kitchen by conserving its structural fabric and presenting its original functions and integrating the royal kitchen into its surrounding context.
Complete investigations and structural assessment of the building was carried out and later the structure was strengthened; eastern collapsed parts were restored, some missing parts were rebuilt considering the existing portions as references, drainage was improved and the vanished flooring was re-laid.
Finally the smashed piece of fort got a new verve and now it stands majestically as a conserved portion of Mughal architecture.
These kitchens have been opened for the public now and cultural evening are also being held there for the public. All those who visit this site are amazed to see this new structure that has been revealed by removing the ages old plantation and debris. The pictures of how it was in comparison to its present state are also placed there, and you will be mesmerized looking at them.

It is called the �Sacrament of Lamps�, for the early Christians used to place oil in a lamp, from which hung seven other lamps. Each lamp was lit at the beginning of every prayer. This rite still exists, however, the seven lamps were replaced by seven wicks, made from cotton wool, which sit in a plate of oil. The number seven signifies the seven spirits of God, which are mentioned in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 3:1). The Spirit of God dwells and sanctifies the oil in order to heal those anointed by it. It is advisable that the wicks be placed in the sign of the cross, in the plate of oil.
Our Lord Jesus Christ instituted this Sacrament when He said to His disciples: �Heal the sick, cleanse the leper� (Matthew 10:8), and, �Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, heal the sick who are there, and say to them, �The Kingdom of God has come near to you�� (Luke 10: 8-9). For the Lord Jesus came that we may have life, and that we have it more abundantly (John 10:10), so He healed the sick, raised the invalid, opened the eyes of the blind, purified the lepers and the lame, after having saved them and forgiven them their main cause of sickness, which is sin. �Jesus went about doing good and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil� (Acts 1:38), as Malachi prophesied about Him saying, �But to you who fear My Name, the Son of Righteousness shall rise with healing in His wings� (Malachi 4:2). Our fathers the Apostles practiced it according to the orders of their Master, as the Bible says, �So they went out and preached that people should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them� (Mark 6:12,13).
Our teacher St. James advised the believers to practice this Sacrament when they are sick, and to ask healing from God, who says, �I am the Lord who heals you� (Exodus 15: 26). Also, David the Psalmist thanks God saying, �Bless the Lord, O my soul....Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction� (Psalm 103: 1-4), and, �O Lord my God, I cried out to You and You have healed me� (Psalm 29:20), and also the prayer of Jeremiah the prophet: �Heal me O Lord, and I shall be healed� (Jeremiah 17:4). For this reason, St. James advises us, �Is anyone among you is sick, let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven� (James 5:13,14).
The priest is the one who prays, and it is God who heals, for the sacrament is not a person�s work but the work of God.
The Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, with all its beautiful associated prayers, provides for the healing of the soul, which in turn provides cure for bodily ailments. This is because of the strong link between the soul and the body, and if the soul is sick, the body will likewise suffer. For this reason, the Church always asks her children to firstly repent from their sins, so that the spirit and the soul will consequently be healed.
When the Lord Jesus Christ, glory be to Him, healed the lame man at Bethsaida, who had been sick for 38 years, He said to him: �Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you� (John 5:14). This implies that his illness was due to sin. Likewise, when the people lowered the paralytic man down from the roof top on a stretcher, the first words the Lord said to him was: �Your sins are forgiven�, then, �Arise, take up your bed and walk� (Matthew 9:2-6). The Lord Jesus manifested that the cause of sickness was sin, and declared that the soul should be healed by repentance in order for the body to also be cured of any physical ailments. There is no objection of course, for calling a doctor when one is sick, but it is of great importance that the priest is called as that he may carry out the Sacrament of the Unction of the Sick, and through faith, the sick will be healed, for God never abandons those who hope in Him.
A patient who relies only on medicine, denies himself the ability of God to heal him, just like King Asa, of Judah: �Asa became diseased and his malady was very severe, yet in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but the physicians� (2 Chronicles 16:12-13), who was contrary to the good King Hezekiah who was close to death, and prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly until the Lord sent Isaiah the prophet to him saying: �Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears, surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord. And I will add to your days fifteen years� (2 Kings 20:1-6).
The Church completely rejects her patients seeking the psychics for healing, for this would mean that they rather the healing of the devil and deny the power and healing of God. For a person to seek the assistance of psychics means that they are totally and completely abandoning and denying Christianity. Our teacher St. Paul says about those people: �Some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons� (Timothy 4:1). We read in the Old Testament about King Ahaziah who fell sick and sent messengers to inquire of Bel-Zebub, the god of Ekron. Along the way, they were met by Elijah the prophet who said to them: �Thus says the Lord, is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to inquire of Bel-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus says the Lord, �You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die�� (2 King 1:2-4), and so Ahaziah died.
The Church is not against traditional medicine, but in fact supports it and approves it for the purpose of healing. It is also important to remember that all medicine is comprised of certain herbs, which God created for the benefit of human kind: �God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving� (1 Timothy 4:3,4). The Lord said, through Jeremiah the prophet: �Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery for the health of the daughter of my people?� (Jeremiah 8:22). Hence, it is important for doctors to be consulted when one is sick, and to take medicine for physical healing.
Give the physician his dignity, for the Lord created him.
Medicine comes from on high.
God created medicine from the earth and the wise man does not hate it.
My son do not neglect yourself if you get sick, but pray to the Lord who heals you. Refrain from all iniquities and make straight your deeds. Purify your heart from sin ... then make a place for the physician, as the Lord created him and will not leave you when you need him. (Joshua Bin Sirakh 38:1-15).
Most of the medicines used by doctors are herbs and plants of the earth, produced by God for human benefit, as the Psalmist says: �Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. He gives the beast its food and to the young ravens that cry� (Psalm 147:7).
When Hezekiah, King of Judah was recovering, the Lord ordered him to use natural remedies saying, �Let them take a lump of figs and apply it as a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover� (Isaiah 38:21), and the boil was the ulcer that King Hezekiah was recovering from.
When the priest visits the house of the sick to perform the Sacrament of the Unction of the Sick, it reveals the church�s love and care for her children in that the Church is emotionally sharing in the trials with the family. The church forms a bond with the family so that they become one body. Hence, if the family is suffering, the church suffers with them. This is a generous gesture by the church, and one that the faithful would not forget. For this reason, the family will become more and more attached to the church.
For the sick to benefit from the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, it is necessary that they firstly confess, and then receive the Holy Communion as soon as possible afterwards. Hence, they will actually be partaking of three Sacraments, for their spiritual and physical healing.
The most appropriate time for carrying out the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick is early in the morning, when everyone is still fasting (that is, the priest, the sick person, and other members attending). The priest must fast for nine hours beforehand, and the sick person for six. In extreme cases, however, when medicine is to be taken at regular intervals, the priest may give the sick person absolution to abstain for a lesser period of time.
The priest must pray all of the seven prayers of the sacrament, for it is not proper for him to shorten any of the prayers, as this is against the Apostolic orders which were inspired by the Holy Spirit, and recorded in the Church�s books.
The order of the prayers of the Unction of the Sick are very old and traditional. Church history mentions that St. Epifanius, Bishop of Cyprus, wrote and organized these prayers. In addition, St basil confirms that the �Kandeel Prayers� were well known in the Church from the early days (Canon 91).
He accomplishes this sacrament in faith and hope that God will heal the sick. The priest is not only performing a church rite, but he is also praying with the spirit.
He must long for the salvation of the sick person, and for his bodily healing, so he prays out of care and love, and not out of force or pressure.
He cares to accept the confession of the patient in private, before performing the sacrament, to enable the sick person to be granted the forgiveness of sins as well as psychological healing, and hence enable the sick to be cured physically also.
As long as the priest�s time and health permits, he should not neglect or postpone any appointment to perform this Sacrament, regardless of whether the sick is rich or poor.
The priest should continue caring for the needs of the sick person, until he is cured.
The priest must be fasting before performing the Sacrament, and he must indicate to the relatives of the sick person how important it is that they also be fasting before performing the Sacrament of the Unction of the Sick.
As the Kandeel oil is holy oil, upon which the Holy Spirit came, it is important not to leave it sitting in the dish in case it is accidentally spilled. The priest should ensure that the oil, after prayers, is placed in a small bottle, and that the dish is wiped with cotton wool and burnt together with the cotton wicks which were used during the Kandeel prayers, before he leaves the house.
The sick person and his relatives must have strong faith in the work of God in this sacrament, just like the two blind men who had strong faith that Christ would heal them (Matthew 9:28), and the faith of Jairus (Luke 8:50), and the faith of the father who had an epileptic son (Mark 9:23), and the faith of the friends of the paralytic man (Matthew 9:2), and the faith of the bleeding woman (Luke 8:48).
The sick must have faith and confidence in the priest, just as he has trust in his doctor.
An adult who is baptized should confess before Baptism, and receive Holy Communion after it.
An adult who is sick should confess before the Kandeel Prayers, and receive Holy Communion after it.
A couple getting married should confess before Matrimony, and receive Holy Communion after it.
In the occasion of any priestly ordination, confession is obligatory before ordination, and Holy Communion received at the end of the ordination mass.
The sick must be clean in body and clothing, ready for the Sacrament.
The sick must promise God to live his whole life in His fear, His love and service, just like Simon Peter�s mother-in-law (Matthew 8:15), and like Mary Magdalene (Mark 15:40). As St. Paul said: �That those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and rose again� (2 Corinthians 5:15).
The sick must thank God after recovery, for His grace and providence.
Why is it that sometimes the sick does not recover after the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick?
Lack of faith of the sick person, just like the people of Nazareth: �The Lord Jesus did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief� (Matthew 13:58).
He may not be worthy of being healed due to his evil doings and reluctance to repent and return to God, who says, �Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding� (Jeremiah 3:22).
Sickness may result in death, and death is the great recovery and salvation from all bodily pains.
Sickness may be for chastisement and God may abolish it when its purpose is accomplished, just like Job who was sick for seven years. Likewise, Moses� sister Miriam, was struck by leprosy when she spoke badly against Moses. Then Moses prayed for her saying: ��Please, heal her, O God, I pray!� and the Lord said to him, �Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and after that she may be received again�� (Numbers 12), that is, healed from leprosy.
When the priest comes to perform the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, he must wear an Epitrachelion (priestly vestment), as he will be accomplishing two Sacraments together; the Sacrament of Confession and the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick.
During confession, which must take place before the Sacrament of the Unction of the Sick, the sick person confesses honestly and with true repentance, promising to walk with God after his recovery, and striving never to return to sin. Then the priest reads the absolution for him, after giving him advice, guidance and spiritual exercises which may be needed for his spiritual growth. The priest then advises him to receive the Holy Communion as soon as possible after the Sacrament of the Unction of the Sick.. If he is too sick to go to Church, the priest can bring him the Holy Communion at home.
After Confession, all the family gathers to attend the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick and partake in its spiritually interesting prayers, once the censer has been filled with hot coals.
On the table is placed a dish which contains some pure oil (preferably olive oil) with seven pieces of cotton wool shaped like wicks. Each wick is lit at the start of each prayer. Also needed for accomplishing the Sacrament, is incense, a prayer book, and a box of matches.
The priest stands facing the East, and the sick is seated before him in reverence, facing the west; his body and clothing must be clean. The rest of the family members stand around the priest.
The priest then starts the seven prayers of the Kandeel.
The priest lights the first wick of the Kandeel.
The Kandeel commences with the Lord�s Prayer.
The priest prays the �Thanksgiving Prayer�, and the deacon and family members respond accordingly. The priest then places five spoonfuls of incense in the censer, with three signings of the cross, and then raises incense in the four directions, as usual.
The priest says the �Prayer for the Sick� : �Remember O Lord the sick of Your people ... heal them, take away from them and from us all sickness ... As for us also, O Lord, the maladies of our souls heal them, and those of our bodies too, do cure us, O You, the true Physician of our souls and our bodies ... visit us with Your Salvation, by the grace ...�.
These are deeply spiritual prayers where the priest asks God to heal the soul, body and spirit, as He is the hope of those who are hopeless, the help of those who are helpless.
The priest begins praying, �O You, who gave Your grace to Your pure Apostles, O You the Lover of Mankind, ... rescue us from the sicknesses of the soul and body, when Your priests anoint them, as You said by Your disciple ...� (James 5:14,15).
Every quarter ends requesting the intercession of St. Mary, and this indicates the great appreciation and hope the Church has in St Mary�s intercession, through our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
�We ask God for Your servant (...name*)� ... �Lord have mercy.� *The priest mentions the name of the sick person, and lifts his heart to God to heal him.
Through the sick person�s recovery by prayers, the name of the Lord will be glorified and people�s faith will be encouraged.
The priest�s invitation to pray for those who are sick: �Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up� (James 5:14-15).
The necessity of Confession before the Kandeel. �And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven� (James 5:15), for repentance and confession heal the spirit, and provides the way for physical healing.
The necessity of enduring tribulation, just like our fathers the prophets, such as Job and many others.
The necessity of praying when in trouble and when suffering: �Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray� (James 5:13).
The power of earnest, fervent prayers, such as those of Elijah the great prophet (5:16-17).
The attendants sing the hymn of �Agios� (Holy God), which is the angelic heavenly praise of the Cherubim.
The priest prays the Litany of the Gospel, after placing a spoonful of incense into the censer. An attendant then reads the Psalm and Gospel.
The Gospel reading is taken from John (5:1-17), and speaks about the paralytic man who was sick for 38 years. He lay on his bed being abandoned by all, however, the Lord did not leave Him, but went to him and healed him: �Rise, take up your bed and walk� (John 5:8).
The church wants to enliven the spirit of hope and faith in the heart of the sick person, even if he has been sick for a long period of time. The Lord will not leave Him, even if He delays. We must have patience and endurance, and be thankful at all times to God.
Prayer for Peace of the Church, for the Lord to preserve the church, as it is the body of Christ, and we are members in this body. The Church�s peace is peace for us all.
Prayer for Fathers of the Church, we ask God to grant them power and wisdom for the leadership of the church, and correct interpretation of the word of truth.
All recite the Orthodox Creed declaring their faith in the Holy Trinity, for faith is the foundation of healing.
We ask healing from the Almighty God, who purified the lepers, and healed the daughter of the Canaanite woman, and raised from the dead the daughter of Jairus, and the son of the widow, and Lazarus.
The Church asks for the healing of the sick person, but surrenders the whole matter to God : *�If You wish to raise him from sickness some time later, grant him help to endure without complaint ... and if You want to receive his spirit, may this be by the hands of luminous angels who rescue him from the devils of darkness.� (* It is preferable to say this statement inaudibly, so that the sick person is not affected).
The Church teaches us to completely surrender ourselves to the will God, just as our beloved Lord Jesus Christ did with His Father : �Father, take this cup away from Me, nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will� (Mark 14:36).
The priest lights the second wick.
The Second Prayer commences with the Lord�s Prayer.
The priest then prays the Litany for the Travelers, so that the Lord may graciously accompany them in their journeys, by His angel. May God be a partner with us in all that we do, so that all our deeds may be good deeds. If a person does not have any goodness and his deeds are not righteous, they cannot expect God to accompany them or help them, for as St. Paul says: �And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them� (Ephesians 5:11). The Litany of the Travelers is said while the priest is offering incense.
An invitation for the strong members of the family to bear the sick in love, and without complaint.
An invitation for the sick to bear their illness with patience, and hence not lose the blessing of endurance.
An invitation for the believers to be like-minded towards one another in love, so that God may be glorified.
Then the Trisagon of glorification is sung.
It is very important for the sick person to be convinced and promise to live with God in righteousness and holiness after his recovery, for he must know that his recovery is a gift from God, just like when God added fifteen years to the life of Ezekiah the King. So that together with St. Paul, the sick person may declare: �And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me� (Galatians 2:20) and healed me from my sickness and pain.
The priest lights the third wick.
The Third Prayer commences with the Lord�s Prayer.
The priest prays the Litany of Waters, or Plants, or Fruits, according to the season.
The Pauline Epistle is read from 1 Corinthians (12:28-13:1-18), which speaks about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and then goes on to explain the most excellent way that all Christians should follow, which is love. St Paul says, �Love suffers long, does not envy, does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not rejoice in iniquity�, such as in seeing people sick, but hopes the best for all people, whether it be recovery, success, and blessings.
The service of Unction of the Sick is given free, so that even the poor can call the priest to perform the Sacrament when they are sick.
However, those who are willing to give a gift to the church may do so at another time, as a thanksgiving offering, but not as wages for the priest.
Asks forgiveness of sins of the sick person, and all those attending, including himself.
Asks the Lord to guide us and help along the path which leads to eternal life, and not eternal condemnation.
Asks the Lord to heal and fortify the sick person�s body and intentions, so that he does not return to sin and fall sick again.
Asks the Lord to hear his plea, and heal and have mercy on His servant, in the same way as the Lord heard Ezekiah in his misery, and did not reject his supplication.
The priest lights the fourth wick.
The fourth Prayer commences with the Lord�s Prayer.
The priest prays the Litany of the Leaders.
The Pauline Epistle to the Romans is read, which speaks about enduring pain without complaint, in order to be granted the crown of long sufferance: �For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us� (Romans 8:14-21), and, �For our light affection, which is put for a moment is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory� (2 Corinthians 4:17).
The sufferings we face are often a means by which God cleanses us from our sins and iniquities, and when we are cleansed, we proceed forth into eternity, just like gold that has been purified by fire.
The priest then says the Litany of the Gospel, while raising incense, which is then followed by the Gospel reading by an attendant. �Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your loving kindness, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, cleanse me from my sin...� (Psalm 50:1-2). This is a cry of a suffering person who is aware of their sin, and begging the Lord for mercy and forgiveness of his sins, for the healing of his body and spirit. The Gospel is from St Luke, which tells of the mission of the seventy disciples in preaching and healing the sick: �Heal the sick who are there, and say to them: The Kingdom of God has come near you.� The reading also confirms the Institution of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, as commanded and established by the Lord Jesus Christ to His apostles.
1. Asks God, who is the physician of the sick, to heal our sicknesses and forgive our iniquities.
2. Asks God to accept the repentance of the sinners and heal their illnesses.
3. Asks God to heal and forgive the sick person, and grant health to his body. He also asks God to comfort him and relieve him from all his sufferings and sorrows.
4. Believes in the power of the almighty Lord, who is able to do all things.
5. Asks God to provide refuge for the repentants, hope for the hopeless, and comfort for those in tribulation.
The priest lights the fifth wick.
The fifth Prayer commences with the Lord�s Prayer.
The priest prays the Litany of the Departed, so that the Lord may repose their souls and have mercy upon them.
The Pauline Epistle to the Galatians (2:16-20) is read, which speaks about the necessity of strong faith in Jesus Christ, which is well pleasing to Him. A person must be crucified with Christ, in terms of putting to death all lusts and passions which cause him to perish, and thereby rise with Christ and be granted the joys of eternal life.
The priest then says the Litany of the Gospel, while raising incense, which is then followed by the Gospel reading by an attendant: �Bring my soul out of prison that I may praise Your name. The righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me� (Psalm 141:7). The suffering patient cries to the Lord to bring him out of the prison of sickness, so he may thank Him and praise Him, and glorify Him for His providence. The Gospel from St John (14:1-9), tells about how the Lord comforts the sick by saying, �Let not your heart be troubled...�. In complete surrender, the Church teachers her children that, even after repentance if a person dies, they will be granted the inheritance of eternal life, for the Lord Jesus said: �In my Father�s house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself that where I am, there you may be also.� This is the goal and the climax of a person�s struggle in this life, eternity with Christ.
Christ asks us to keep His Commandments, so that they may keep us from falling into sin, and so guarantee us eternal life. In the story of when the rich young man asked the Lord Christ, �What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?� The Lord answered him, �You know the Commandments...� (Mark 10:17-18).
God gives us His Holy Spirit the Comforter who comforts and encourages us in all our tribulations, sicknesses, and sorrows so that we are able to endure trials gratefully, and without complaint.
The priest lights the sixth wick.
The sixth Prayer commences with the Lord�s Prayer.
The priest prays the Litany of the Oblations.
The Pauline Epistle to the Colossians (3:12-17) is read, which tells of the Apostle Paul urging us to be adorned by the virtues of tender mercies, humbleness, meekness, long-suffering, forgiveness, love, peace, thanksgiving, and praise, so that we may be as saints without blemish.
The priest then says the Litany of the Gospel, while raising incense, which is then followed by the Gospel reading by an attendant: �Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me when I was in distress. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer� (Psalm 4:1). The Gospel is then read from St Luke, which tells the story of the sinful woman who repented and washed the feet of the Lord Jesus with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. Christ forgave her and gave her peace and joy instead of grief and worry, which was caused by sin. This Gospel presents a living example of true repentance so the sick person may learn and present a pure living repentance, so that they may be granted forgiveness of sins, and peace in their spirit. The saints often refer to repentance as being �the mother of life�.
The sick person must thank God for healing him, and tell of how much the Lord has done for him. He must serve God and the church, just as St Peter�s mother-in-law served Christ after he healed her: �...So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them� (Luke 4:39).
The priest lights the seventh and final wick.
The seventh Prayer commences with the Lord�s Prayer.
The priest prays the Litany of the Catechumens.
The Pauline Epistle to the Ephesians (6:10-18)) is read, which tells of how the sick must be strong in their hope, and should not allow illness to weaken their faith. Hope in healing is half the recovery, so, �My brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might ... Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand ...� and St Peter warns us, �For the devil your adversary walks about like a lion, seeking whom he may devour� (1 Peter 5:8), and the devil will devour those who are fainthearted and in despair. Therefore, pray always, and hope that your prayers will be granted that the Lord gives you spiritual and physical healing.
The priest then says the Litany of the Gospel, while raising incense, which is then followed by the Gospel reading by an attendant: �Look on my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins...Oh, keep my soul and deliver me. Let me not be ashamed for I put my trust in You� (Psalm 24:17-18). This psalm reflects the feeling of those who are ill. He is asking the Lord not to reject him because he has his trust in the Lord, for He promised us saying, �Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation� (Psalm 91:14-16). The Gospel which is read from St Matthew (6:14-18), advises those who are sick to forgive others the trespasses done against him, so that the Lord may also forgive them and consequently healed them of their illnesses, which may have been caused by sin. As the Lord said to the paralytic man, �Your sins are forgiven; Arise take up your bed and go to your house� (Matthew 9:2-6).
It is so important for a person to live a correct life, without blemish or blame. How excellent for him to have the complimenting aspects of strong Orthodox faith, and a virtuous life.
The priest prays the Orthodox Creed over the oil. After each part, the attendants respond, �Glory be to the Father ... Now and forevermore, Amen.� This is followed by the �Gloria� and the Lord�s prayer. Then the Orthodox Creed is said, followed by �Lord have mercy� chanted 41 times.
It is very important that the sick person declares his Orthodox faith, for this is pleasing to God, for, �Without faith it is impossible to please Him� (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is important for our healing as the Lord Jesus said to Jairus who�s daughter Christ healed, �Do not be afraid, only believe, and she will be made well� (Luke 8:50). Also, the Lord said to the two blind men who asked Him to open their eyes: �Do you believe that I am able to do this?...then He touched their eyes� (Matthew 9:28), and to the father who asked Christ to heal his sick son, the Lord said, �If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes� (Mark 9:23).
It is also important that the sick persevere in asking for God�s mercy, by repeating �Lord have mercy� 41 times, so that God will have compassion on him, forgive his sins, and heal his psychological and physical illnesses.
The praise of the Cherubim is said: �Holy, holy, holy...� followed by the Lord�s prayer.
He requests absolution and forgiveness for the sick person, from the compassionate and merciful God.
1. The forehead is anointed because being the head, it is the center of the senses and thoughts.
2. The chest is anointed because it contains the heart, for King Solomon said, �Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life� (Proverbs 4:23).
3. The hands are anointed because they are the instruments of work and deeds.
The priest anoints the person with signs of the cross, in the name of the Holy Trinity, who sanctifies and blesses all things.
The attendants are anointed by oil in the same manner, under one condition - that they are fasting. The woman who is menstruating should not be anointed by oil.
The sick person must receive Holy Communion as soon as possible, after partaking in the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, for Holy Communion is the essence of life.
The sick person must endeavor to anoint himself with the oil for seven consecutive days, believing in the power of God, and the power of prayer. This perseverance shows his faith in the effectiveness of the Sacrament, and his obedience to the church rite. Faith and obedience are essential ingredients for recovery. Just as the sick preserve in taking medicine for their recovery, so too must they be diligent in anointing themselves with oil.
A question always arises: How should the holy oil remaining after the Sacramental Rite and anointment, be treated?
Answer: The priest may take the remaining oil and leave a little oil in the dish for the patient to anoint himself for seven consecutive days, as specified in the Rite of Sacrament of Unction of the Sick. Seven, being a perfect number, and so the sick person�s diligence to anoint himself with the oil, proves his faith in the effectiveness of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, and his care and obedience for Church orders. This ritual is effective, and helps the sick to recover through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes every house of the believers keep a special bottle in which to place the oil of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, as a continuous blessing in the home. It is kept in a safe place so that the oil does not spill, and is used only when necessary.
After completion of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, the priest must filter the oil from the seven wicks by pressing them strongly, then the cotton wicks must be burned so that they are not trodden on. He then empties the remaining oil from the dish into a bottle, which has been kept for only that purpose, and wipes the remaining oil on the dish with cotton wool. The cotton is then burned together with the wicks.
No unbeliever should be anointed by the oil of Unction of the Sick, as it is holy sacramental oil given only to the baptized. If a non-believer asks to be anointed, a common oil is brought and the priest makes the sign of the cross on it three times, prays the Litany of the Sick, and then anoints the sick person.
No one should be anointed directly after Holy Communion, as Holy Communion is the perfection and seal of all Sacraments.
We notice in the Rite of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, that there are a great quantity of readings from the Holy Bible (7 Pauline, 7 Psalms, and 7 Gospels, apart from all the prayers and supplications). If the sick person is attentive to the prayers, these readings and prayers are a great source of consolation, patience, endurance, peace, and comfort, as well as providing the gift of healing that is accomplished in God�s time. The sick person then feels he can surrender himself to God, and so his feelings of worry and anxiety are replaced with peace and calm, for �Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope� (Romans 15:4).
It is a known fact that all sacraments are accomplished in the Church, with the exception of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick as the sick may be too weak to come to church so the priest officiates it in the home. However, once a year the Church performs this Sacrament in the Church, and it takes place on the last Friday of the holy Lent (that is, the Friday before Passion Week). It is called the �General Kandeel�.
Reminding people of the importance and significance of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, for the healing of every believer.
Serving all those believers who have not called the priest privately at home.
Anointing all the believers prior to Passion Week, for it is not permissible to perform the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick during the Holy Week, because the Church cares for the prayers of this great week and concentrates its prayers and contemplations on the passion of Christ and the blessings of the mystery of redemption and act of salvation. Hence, the General Kandeel must take place before the holy Passion week, just as in the same way the General Funeral takes place following the Palm Sunday Mass and prior to the Pascha prayers. As no funeral rites are allowed to take place during Passion Week, for the above mentioned reasons, the church performs the General Funeral so that if anyone passes away during Passion Week, they would have already been prayed on.
The General Kandeel is performed in the Second Chorus between the raising of morning incense, and the holy Mass of the last Friday of Lent.
The Church chooses this particular time of performing the rite at the end of Lent, because all the believers are reaching their spiritual climax, through abstinences, attendance at the holy Masses, and partaking in many prayers. The prayers of the rite are powerful, therefore at this particular time of the year, because even the Lord Jesus confirmed that, �This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting� (Mark 9:29).
At the end of the General Kandeel all the congregation are anointed with the oil of Sacrament of Unction of the Sick. Firstly, the priests anoint each other, then they anoint the deacons, and then the congregation. Then prayers begin for celebrating the last holy Mass in Lent.
As the anointing must always take place before the holy Mass and not after, if anyone came to Church after the anointing, the priest may anoint them before the Mass. Anointing may take place after the Mass, but as long as those who are being anointed have not had Holy Communion.
The Sacrament of Unction of the Sick must be performed for a person who is genuinely sick and in need of this sacrament.
The priest must pray all of the seven specified prayers of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick, as seven is a perfection number and the seven readings and seven prayers have effective power. Even David the Prophet said, �Seven times a day I praise You� (Psalm 119:164). The prayers, being God�s word, pierce the heart like arrows, making them effective and powerful in a person�s life. The Apostle Paul said: �For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discernment of the thoughts and intents of the heart� (Hebrews 4:12).
In order for the prayers and readings of the word of God to be fruitful, they must be done reverently and without hurry or abbreviating.
The priest and the person who accepts the Sacrament must be abstaining from food for certain hours before accomplishing the Sacrament. Hence, performing the Sacrament in the early morning whilst people are still fasting, is the most appropriate time.
Many people consider that the priest coming to the house is a blessing, especially during the period of Lent, which is a time of spiritual revival. They consider that the priest visiting the house is a way to encourage the household to continue in praying and fasting, and always practice the Sacrament of Repentance and Confession. There is no objection to the priest visiting and blessing homes, but there is no need for him when doing this to pray part of the prayers of the Unction of the Sick. Instead, he should pray the ritual prayers of �Blessing the House�; prayers which ask the Lord to dwell within the house and keep the members of the household from all evil. The Prayer of Blessing of the House, resembles one of the prayers of the Sacrament of Unction of the Sick.
It can be done at any time, in the homes of the believers. It is not a necessary requirement, however, that the members of the household, and the priest fast, for this rite is not a Church sacrament.
This Prayer can be done at any time, and as often as people like. This prayer is not just restricted to those with new homes, but all people, as a source of blessing in the home.
The prayer itself is not very long, and this is helpful for the priest who may need to pray this blessing in several homes. The priest can say this prayer at any time because abstinence is not necessary.
If the priest is called to bless the home during Holy Lent, he may pray the Prayer of Blessing the House. A jug of water is necessary during the prayers, so that the priest can pray upon it and at the end of the prayer, bless the household and the house with the water as a blessing. The priest may also anoint the members of the household with the oil of Sacrament of Unction of the Sick (a bottle which he keeps), if they are abstaining from food, but if the prayer takes place at night and the household are not fasting, then the priest may anoint them with any simple oil, (from a bottle which he keeps), or from a small plate of oil placed near the water and was present during the Prayer of Blessing Homes. Hence, the oil and water becomes sanctified through prayer and the word of God.
The Prayer of Blessing the House is powerful and a great source of blessing, for it asks the Lord Jesus Christ to dwell in the home and bless it according to His promise : �For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them� (Matthew 18:20).
The Prayer of Blessing the House strongly resembles the Prayer of Unction of the Sick, and there are certain prayers from the Prayer of Unction of the Sick that are used in the Prayer of Blessing the House.
Following the prayers, the priest sprinkles the holy water which had been prayed upon, on the household members, and throughout the house.
The family places a jug of water on the table beside which the prayers will take place, and coals are heated for placing in the censer.
Then facing east, the priest begins prayers with the Lord�s Prayer, followed by the Prayer of Thanksgiving. The deacons and household members respond accordingly.
Whilst the Verse of Cymbals is sung, the priest places five spoonfuls of incense into the censer, and proceeds around the house and its rooms, raising incense.
The hymn of the �Golden Censer� is sung, followed by, �We kneel before You...�.
The priest prays the three Major Litanies of Peace, the Fathers, and the Congregations, followed by the Orthodox Creed.
The priest prays for the healing of the whole family from every sickness and weakness.
The priest prays for the home and the city according to the words of Jeremiah the prophet: �And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it, for in its peace you will have peace� (Jeremiah 29:7).
In the Pauline Epistle to the Romans, the Church asks the members of the family to walk in the Spirit, not in bodily lusts, �For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God� (Romans 4:8).
The Gospel reading tells of Christ blessing the house of Zacchaeus by staying there: �Today salvation has come to this house�. The priest prays for the blessing and salvation of the family in the house where the prayers are being performed.
The Orthodox Creed is said, for the soul must be founded on the Orthodox faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. The soul should be filled with spiritual virtues.
The priest says a number of supplications and prayers to ask that the water prayed on, becomes a source of healing for souls and bodies, and a means of casting out all the power of the adversary from the home and those dwelling within, and for the Lord to watch over them from all the temptations of the adversary.
The whole house is sprinkled with the water, so that the house may be blest, and all works of evil abolished and forbidden entry, through the power of God working in these prayers.
It is more prevalent amongst those dwelling in villages, rather than the cities, and this is mainly due to the simplicity of faith of the villagers.
The prayer is done for those who have been bitten by dogs who may have rabies.
The prayer is done instead of the 21 injections which are given to the person, who was bitten, in the abdominal area. The prayers, through faith are very effective and powerful. And so the person bitten can benefit from both the effective prayers, and appropriate medication.
The first person by whom the prayers were made effective, was a saint by the name of �Abo Terbo� (St. Terbo). �Terbo� in Greek means �the healer�. This saint lived during the days of Emperor Diocletian, who tortured him severely, before finally throwing him in prison, where the saint remained until the Emperor died. Diocletian was succeeded by the righteous Christian king Constantine, who released all the Christians from prison and pain, and restored peace and Christendom in the empire. Accordingly, all the Christians returned to their homes praising the Lord and preaching His name in all places.
It happened one day that as Abo Terbo was walking, a ferocious dog with rabies drew near the saint as if to attack him. The saint prayed fervently to be saved from the dog, and so hearing his prayers, the Lord sent His angel to rescue him. The angel ordered him to stretch out his rod upon the dog, and so doing, the dog died immediately. The Lord then granted Abo Terbo the gift of healing people who have been attacked or bitten by dogs infected with rabies. Whosoever calls upon the Lord in the name of Abo Terbo will be saved.
Many miracles have been performed in his name, one of which is the story of a poor woman who had an only son, bitten by a ferocious dog. After they prayed to the Lord to heal the boy, through the prayers of Abo Terbo, the boy was healed.
The effective and powerful prayer of Abo Terbo is very popular in country villages.
The person who was bitten by the dog, goes to the priest, bringing seven pieces of unleavened bread, seven pieces of cheese, seven dates, a bottle of water, and a bottle of oil.
The priest then gathers seven children. (Note, however, that only the priest performs the rite, without the assistance of the youths).
The priest begins with the Prayer of Thanksgiving, then raises the Pauline incense, while the deacons sing the Verses of the Cymbals.
The Trisagon of glorification is sung, followed by the priest saying the Litany of the Gospel before one of the deacons reads the Psalm and the Gospel: �Restore us O God of our salvation...Show us Your mercy, O Lord and grant us Your salvation, will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You. Alleluia� (Psalm 85:7). The Psalmist is asking God to show His mercy and grant salvation, by healing the sick person, so that all the people may rejoice and praise the Lord.
The Gospel reading from St Matthew tells of the Phoenician woman who asked the Lord to heal her daughter, and although a Gentile and an unbeliever, she showed strong faith and humility. Therefore, the Lord Jesus said to her, ��O woman great is your faith ... let it be to you as you desire.� And her daughter was healed from that very hour� (Matthew 15:21-28).
Many people who come requesting the Prayer of Abo Terbo from the priest for themselves or even for their cattle, are non-Christians, but they always display strong faith in the power and effectiveness of the prayers, just like the unbelieving Phoenician woman to whom the Lord granted her according to her heart�s desire because of her faith. Likewise, the Lord grants healing and the heart�s desire to those people who believe in the strength and power of the Abo Terbo prayers, prayed by the priest.
The priest prays the Three Major Litanies, followed by the Orthodox Creed.
If the priest does not find children, he may do without them in prayer.
When the seven rounds are finished, every child cuts a piece of the bread, the cheese, and a date and places it near the person who was bitten.
Now the priest divides the pastry, the cheese and the dates.
The priest makes the sign of the cross on the water and the oil, before anointing the person who was bitten, by the oil, and sprinkling him with the water.
For the next seven days, the person who was bitten, must eat of the bread, the cheese and dates each morning, must drink of the water, and continue anointing the infected area.
Through the grace of God, and the prayers of Abo Terbo, the person who is bitten will recover. Amen.

The Terry Draper interview should be fun. I interviewed him for a record collecting magazine, here in the states, back in '94 or '95. He's a great guy, with lots of cool and candid stories about Klaatu, including a hilarious anecdote about Dee Long meeting Paul McCartney. He probably won't remember me, but tell him Pete from Cincinnati, Ohio says hello.
Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio says:
I think you'll enjoy my interview with Terry. I've been interviewing him for years; it's always a joy to speak with him. Thanks for getting in touch.

Deepening Our Commitment to Research with State-of-the-Art Facility in San Diego, California
On April 30th, 2019 Takeda celebrated the opening of its new San Diego research center, located squarely in the city's life sciences ecosystem. The site complements Takeda's global Research & Development center in Cambridge, Massachusetts and its other research site located in Shonan, Japan. The 165,000-square-foot facility was designed to support Takeda's work leveraging specialized drug discovery technologies as well as discovering potentially transformative medicines in the gastroenterology (GI) and neuroscience therapeutic areas.

With more than 50 percent of the new research center's space dedicated to laboratories, the building's sleek design mirrors the advanced discovery research occurring within its walls – including target validation, lead optimization and candidate selection. The building is home to four distinct research platform groups focused on structural biology, early target discovery, computational biology and biologics. Each research platform group serves a unique purpose within our broader R&D strategy; for instance, the Global Computational Biology Group is applying new technologies and machine learning to better evaluate and leverage data gathered through experiments, clinical studies and real-world evidence.
Takeda has been hard at work expanding its research pipeline beyond small molecule drugs. In 2015, 85 percent of the company's research pipeline was focused on small molecules. Today, more than 50 percent falls outside small molecules in areas including biologics, peptides, oligonucleotides, cell and gene therapy, the microbiome and other modalities. Diversifying the early research pipeline today will fuel Takeda's next wave of potentially transformative medicines.
Deep-Rooted Collaborations
Having an external mindset is a critical component of Takeda's R&D strategy. In addition to the internal research conducted on site, there are a number of research activities underway through partnerships cemented with academia, industry partners and service providers. Since 2016, Takeda has committed $35 million to Southern California startup companies, underscoring its commitment to the active life sciences cluster in the San Diego and broader California area. Beyond its research activities, Takeda regularly engages with the local community, centering on three main themes: patient advocacy and healthcare, the environment, and children and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
"Our San Diego research site demonstrates the optimal balance between highly specialized internal research competencies and dedication to external partnerships both within the local community and on a global scale," said Steve Hitchcock, Ph.D., Head of Research.

Following the successful placements by RAG Foundation and funds advised by CVC Capital Partners of a total of c. 67.4 million shares in Evonik Industries AG with institutional investors in Germany and abroad, trading of the company's shares commenced today on the Frankfurt and Luxembourg stock exchanges. A total of 466 million Evonik shares can now be traded on the stock exchanges. The free float currently amounts to c. 14.5 percent of the total shares in the company. Evonik resumed preparations for its planned stock market listing in late February 2013; the uncertain stock market conditions had prevented a listing in 2012.
Werner Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of RAG Foundation, commented: "I am delighted that, together with CVC, we have brought Evonik to the market within this short timeframe. Thanks to the good team at Evonik, our chosen route proved successful and achieved a respectable outcome."
Christian Wildmoser, partner at CVC, added: "After four-and-a-half years of close and trustful collaboration with RAG Foundation, we are pleased that today we have successfully listed Evonik—one of the leading specialty chemicals companies—on the stock market. We are proud to have played a part in this decisive step in the company's history."
Klaus Engel, Chairman of Evonik's Executive Board, commented: "Today's stock exchange listing was made possible by a joint act of strength: on the one hand, our owners' clear determination to finally press ahead with a stock market listing, and on the other, the good business performance that we as a company have achieved in recent years. We have systematically driven forward Evonik's focus on profitable, high-growth specialty chemicals. Today is a good day for the company and for the German stock market."
Evonik is one of the world's leading specialty chemicals companies and has a balanced portfolio. Around 80 percent of sales come from market leading positions, which it intends to expand systematically. The company concentrates on high-growth megatrends—especially health, nutrition, resource efficiency and globalization.
The prospectus for the listing of Evonik shares in the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange was approved by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), was published on the Evonik website on April 22, 2013 and is available for download under the link www.evonik.de/listing. A print copy of the prospectus is available free of charge from Evonik Industries AG, Rellinghauser Straße 1-11, 45128 Essen.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether Ron receptor tyrosine kinase signaling affects the in vivo response to bacterial peritonitis. DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: University laboratory. SUBJECTS: Male mice 8-11 wks of age (22-28 g). INTERVENTIONS: A genetic approach comparing wild-type mice to mice with a targeted deletion of the Ron tyrosine kinase signaling domain (TK-/-) was undertaken to determine the influence of Ron receptor in the in vivo response to a well-characterized model of bacterial peritonitis and sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Several clinical (i.e., survival curves, blood and tissue bacterial burdens, and neutrophil oxidative burst), morphologic (i.e., liver histology and leukocyte trafficking), and biochemical variables (i.e., serum aminotransferases and select serum cytokine and chemokine levels) important for assessing inflammatory responses to bacterial infection were assessed in mice following cecal ligation and puncture. Ron TK-/- mice had a significant decrease in survival time compared with controls, and this was associated with a significant increase in bacterial colony-forming units found in the blood and several end-organs. Moreover, this increased bacterial load was associated with increased liver necrosis and serum alanine aminotransferase levels. Neutrophils isolated from TK-/- mice exhibited decreased spontaneous oxidative burst capacity ex vivo, and by intravital microscopy, a reduced level of neutrophil migration to and translocation within the liver was observed. Loss of Ron signaling resulted in significantly reduced production of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interleukin-6 levels following cecal ligation and puncture, and peritoneal macrophage isolated from TK-/- mice exhibited blunted production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-6, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 following stimulation with endotoxin ex vivo. CONCLUSIONS: Ron signaling negatively regulates the response to polymicrobial infection by regulating the activation and recruitment of inflammatory cells necessary for clearing a systemic bacterial burden. This effect may be regulated in part through the Ron-dependent, macrophage-mediated production of cytokines and chemokines, namely monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-6, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2, important for neutrophil mobilization.
