One hundred years ago, the great scientist-inventor Nikola Tesla had high hopes for the success of Wardenclyffe and for humanity. His amazing power tower on Long Island, NY, aka a 'Magnifying Transmitter,' could tap into Earth's Electro-Magnetic fields.
The energy flow of a turning planet could be magnified, converted into electrical power and broadcasted to smaller (wireless) sub-stations many miles away. At a time when few people could comprehend the new wonders of the inventor's Alternating Current, Tesla envisioned: radio, television, X-rays, lasers and wireless electricity.
Tesla's tower with dome frame, completed in 1904.
Tesla's Colorado Springs experimental lab was constructed in 1899. It was there and then when Nikola Tesla made one of the greatest discoveries of all time. What happened just prior to the 20th Century might have really been the greatest discovery of all time! His Colorado Springs tower proved that acquiring vast amounts of electrical power through the Earth was possible!
Tesla knew that he could broadcast and WIRELESSLY distribute electricity in huge quantities at great distances. He combined radio and the AC Current. Tesla had just obsoleted his new, revolutionary AC by an incredible quantum leap! The Colorado lab paved the way for Wardenclyffe which was many times larger.
Now it was possible that electrical power could be received very high in the atmosphere; up to the ionosphere. Electricity would seem to appear out of thin air; anywhere... at the bottom of the ocean or high upon mountains or on islands or at any point in the most remote regions. With a working network of power towers circling the planet, the lifeblood of Utopia is established. Power would be received through antennas; in vehicles, on roofs, etc., that tap into the wireless power grid. A network of power towers complete the grid and electrify the planet.
We came so close to paradise in the modern age. 2005 will come and go and few people will ever truly realize the significance of the golden anniversary of a very special EVENT. Up until 1905, Nikola Tesla dreamed and worked toward a Wireless World.
This super genius knew his discoveries would elevate people out of the dark ages. The most brilliant man in modern times pushed the envelope of what science or electrical engineering could bring to the world. Wireless electricity is the key. What wonders will eventually become realities when unlimited power is generated?
Scientists, with their radical discoveries, have always lead the technological way and the general public follows and accepts leaps of progress. If teleporters to other planets were invented years ago, we would initially be overwhelmed by this fantastic technique. But, in time, we humans become accustomed to high-tech... like with radio and television. Soon, the fantastic becomes the mundane. We would get used to beaming to different planets. It would be as normal as making phone calls.
Tesla questioned:
How far could electricity take humanity?
A Wireless World would UNITE the planet.
What would his future look like after he terraformed society?
A World Power Network Grid around the planet would tend to shrink the Earth and annihilate distance. There would be free phone calls. There would be free World Television. There would be an eternal fountain of power anywhere; all the electricity we could ever use.
The computer age of today is NOTHING compared to what could have been... if the human race went another way in the early part of the 20th Century.
The great EVENT is the failure of Wardenclyffe. We came so close to the threshold of Utopia and very few people even understand this historical fact. Sadly, science books still ignore Mr. Tesla. There will not be documentaries concerning the anniversary of what would have been Tesla's most incredible achievement.
We continue to not give credit to Tesla. The public is not educated on all that Tesla accomplished.
Tesla has the radio patents; not Marconi.
Tesla invented our AC system, not Edison.
Television was Tesla's invention and should be called Teslavision.
Yet, there will not be science specials airing on television honoring Tesla. We are mainly unaware of the events of a century ago.
The success of Wardenclyffe would have changed the world and improved the planet a billion times over!
The End of Wardenclyffe is possibly the greatest turning point in the course of modern, human history!! It was a super devolutionary slide DOWNHILL....
Wardenclyffe began construction on Long Island, New York in 1900. Tesla chose this location because of the large population that his Magnifying Transmitter would service. Tesla went to amazing lengths to personally build this thing of the future. The famous architect Stanford White designed the non-technical architecture of Wardenclyffe. The 200-foot tower is often photographed in its unfinished, skeleton state. In 1905, Tesla ABANDONED his ultimate dream; this ultimate achievement.
Why did Tesla stop his life's work?
Was he told that we are not ready for such a quantum leap?
The power tower may have been beyond the grasp of adaptable humans. Did Tesla realize that what can power cities could be perverted into weapons that could destroy cities? The electrical towers could destroy continents. In 1905, the First World War was in the wind.
Arthur Mathews reports that German scientists could have misused the great Transceiver. The possibility existed that the Earth could be SHATTERED by a build-up of resonance via the Magnifying Transmitter. The powerful device must be in the hands of rational, positive people. Tesla now understood or was told to dismantle his beloved Wardenclyffe tower. He had to undo the crowning achievement of his life's work.
To speculate; maybe Tesla did not want the responsibility of creating a doomsday weapon and it being in the hands of madmen? We still are not ready to control the Force... not until humanity matures and stops being destructive. We may have a long wait.
Since we have not been programmed to think TESLA... we far underestimate what Nikola gave to the world. Instead, we are trained to think Continental Edison, Marconi and a big group of others who basically built on the work of this 'discoverer of new, scientific principles.'
What wonders could have occurred to the human race on Earth if Tesla's wireless dream would have come true? There is the actual possibility of the unifying of races, nationalities and differences of cultures. Walls between countries would be entirely nonexistent. In fact, the idea of 'countries' would tend to evaporate.
With free and easy planetary communications, such as World Television, people might think of themselves as 'one-worlders.' A global community could unify the people of Earth. Besides the incredible, wireless hardware and machines of this New Age... Tesla's World System of Tomorrow promotes peaceful relations between countries. Wars could be made obsolete. In its place would exist a World-Oneness.
Later, Tesla invented his 'wall of light' or an impenetrable forcefield. Tesla conceived of a transmitter tower that could produce a dome force-field. The huge dome could wrap around an entire continent. Tesla constructed devices that could 'end war.' Nikola wrote about eliminating nationalism and patriotism in order to achieve social harmony.
The following are quotes from the article 'Tesla Looks to Science to End the War.'
'Will the dream of universal peace ever be realized? Let us hope that it will. When all darkness shall be merged into one, and patriotism shall be identical with religion, when there shall be one language, one country, one end, then the dream will have become reality...'
'So long as there are different nationalities, there will be PATRIOTISM. This feeling MUST BE ERADICATED from our hearts before permanent peace can be established. Its place must be filled with love of nature and scientific ideal. Science and discovery are the great forces which will lead to that consummation...
The consequences of such an advance are incalculable. A new epoch in human history would be inaugurated and a colossal revolution in moral, social and other respects accomplished, innumerable causes of trouble would be removed, our lives profoundly modified for the better, and a new and firm foundation laid to all that makes for peace.'
Tesla (like Einstein, Buckminster Fuller and other one-worlders) gives us further proof that he was a man-of-the-future. He called for the end of patriotism and nationalism. These are forces that retard human progress. Could he have been aware of a Tomorrow where his wireless principle unites the people of Earth? Is it possible that the idea of 'countries' is an old-fashioned concept that should be eliminated? Utopia might only be possible until we humans discard notions of individual countries, nationalism and patriotism.
Utopia, which could be scientifically achieved, would use Science and Technology the proper way. Energy does not have to be spent on war and destruction.
It is difficult for us from the 21st Century to imagine a society where:
we did not have to pay for phone calls.
we did not have to pay for any utilities.
we could provide FREE food and end world hunger.
defense budgets and war budgets would not be necessary.
houses could be freely given to all citizens.
corruption would not exist among authorities.
energy was used and directed the right way; for construction rather than destruction.
humanity could flourish, with the good life for all, if only we eliminated our warlike thinking and technology and concentrated on hope, trust and love.
there would be no need for a monetary system, advertising or commercials.
there would be no government bureaucracy.
Science and knowledge could be intelligently, logically and compassionately utilized for the benefit of everyone!
Tesla knew that his power towers and World Grid would greatly accelerate the human condition. Wars could be technically erased from the human equation. Wars, prejudice, racism and hate could become obsolete ideas. There would be no enemy. We are all aboard Spaceship Earth in one global community.
This is the future. A World Wireless is the most efficient way to gather and use natural energy. Such a system could only be possible in the hands of enlightened beings and certainly not possible in the hands of primitives. This could also be the past. Tesla's principles of EM power towers could have been utilized by the ancient Atlanteans, Egyptians and Incas. There are probably plenty of intelligent and pure civilizations in the universe which use such a sophisticated method of power generation.
A Tesla World Wireless also allows for the possibility of literally BEAMING at the speed of light. An improved and improved Tesla system would evolve into pyramidal structures. With the total, scientific control of nature and physical forces...your scientists could actually invent transporter or Stargate-type travel.
Another reason countries can appear to breakdown is the physical teleportation of the human being from one point on Earth to another. At the speed of light, you could materialize on the opposite side of the planet. You could exit a Stargate that was established on the Moon or Mars. You could appear anywhere out of the proper receptacle.
If Tesla had been successful in the early part of the 20th Century with Wardenclyffe, and humanity had proceeded on the road to Utopia, by now in the 21st Century... we would be warping ourselves in saucers at the speed of light. Our heightened technology would have drastically raised our consciousness.
There could have been another path traveled where there were NO WORLD WARS! Humanity did not have to be plunged into wars somewhere on the planet decade after decade. Technology could have solved the problems of conflict, greed and chaos. People should have had and presently have a much higher standard of Life. We have all been robbed of a technical, material paradise and very few people are aware of it.
In 1939, there was the New York World's Fair with the Parisphere and Trilon. This grand spectacle showcased coming innovations to the public like: television, plastics, robotics and many more new inventions that people had never seen before. The World's Fair showed representations of the World of Tomorrow. There were futuristic visions of ultra-cities and vast plans for super transports.
Everything about the future, illustrated by the scientists of 1939, was clean and safe. Knowledge wins out against the struggles of humanity. Science will solve the problems of Tomorrow was the theme of the Fair. Unfortunately, the dream of Utopia in the near future was destroyed by the reality of the coming Second World War. Often War does not increase technology; they, frequently, cause Great Depressions in progress and society marches backwards.
It was a hundred years ago when such a crucial and pivotal point in our technological (and you could also say spiritual) progress occurred. We went the wrong way! Instead of taking the path of enlightenment and peace... we took the path of fear, hate, war and destruction.
Tesla has been edited out of the history and science books; primarily because of wireless electricity. We are not going to hear the story of how close humans came to handling the Power of the Gods in the modern age. This is an unrecognized, unknown and (yet) very important point in the course of humanity.
Our civilization COULD have been very, very different than the sad and primitive state that it finds itself in presently. If Wardenclyffe would have succeeded and if we bypassed wars... today, we would be cloning; mastering anti-gravity; building on a huge scale; traveling to the stars at the speed of light and much more.
Our society could have been similar to the world of Star Trek where Earthly wars have been eliminated; hate and racism have been eliminated; food is replicated; energy and knowledge have been converted to benefit everyone; and we are all bettering ourselves and improving the human condition, etc.
This article HAD to be written.
SOMEBODY had to mark the coming hundredth anniversary of one of the greatest, and yet unknown, turning points in human history. In the 20th Century, we came so close to Utopia. It was just out of our reach.

The Domaine Albrechtsfeld
At the Domaine Albrechtsfeld organic farming takes place on some 1,000ha of own land and roughly 400ha of leased acreage. The main crops are winter wheat, soybean, oil pumpkins and alfalfa.
As a result of intensive, interim greening and regular crop rotation, the long-term humus content in the soil is being steadily increased. This measure provides gentle and sustainable husbandry on the basis of current quality and food standards. The keeping of a herd of suckler cows has also proven to be an ideal supplement to the organic farming activities and creates a harmonious synergy effect with the farm concept.
The new farmhouse concept is state of the art, the sequential organisation matching the farming process and the space within the buildings being used accordingly.
The office, social amenities, energy, workshops and washrooms form an entity, while the barns and outhouses offer maximum flexibility for the products and the seasons of the year. Fewer machines and products represent an alternative to large amounts of equipment and quantity. The aim is to minimise the need for manipulation and certified food hygiene is regarded as standard.
As a result of bequests, at the end of the 12th century, Counts Poth and Györ were the dominant landowners in western Hungary, which today constitutes north Burgenland. Albrechtsfeld was built on the site of the village of Haberndorf, which had been destroyed by the Turks. It was entered into the land register of the Hungarian- Altenburg dominion in 1546 as deserted grassland or "Wismad".
1724 Sale of the property and its transfer from the Hungarian- Altenburg crown estate to the ownership of the Habsburgs.
1740 Emperor Karl IV bequests the estate to his daughter Maria Theresia. In 1765, the Empress gives Albrechtsfeld to her daughter Maria Christine. In 1822, Archduke Karl, who is famous for his victory over Napoleon at Aspern, inherits the property.
1847 Archduke Albrecht takes over the estate. There is a gradual transition to geometrically organised farmland. In addition, dairy farming is introduced in order to supply Vienna with fresh milk.
1938 The estate is transferred to the Albrechtsfeld and Wasserburg property management company (ALWA for short).
2005 The Heinzel maily purchases the estate, which currently operates under the name "Domaine Albrechtsfeld GmbH".
2008 A new, integrated farmhouse is built for the production of organic raw materials for food with a certificated hygiene standard.
2009 Operations are switched to organic crop production.
Professional agricultural and mechanical training forms the basis for personnel development. In addition, expert support from universities, institutes, chambers and other professional organisations is utilised. At present, a workforce of six is employed. In addition, a trainee model for the support of young people has been drawn up.
Controlling: Ingrid Gruber
Manager: Alexander Thiess
Teamwork among the local farmers is encouraged in order to bring large and small farms closer together.

Councillors may have to debate and vote again on the naming of a Newry playpark after IRA hunger striker Raymond McCreesh, the Equality Commission has recommended, reversing a decision it made last year.
The controversy over naming the park on Patrick Street after the Camlough man has been ongoing since 2001 when Newry and Mourne District Council initially took the decision. Since then, in light of objections, the Council has voted three times to retain the name.
In 2014 the Equality Commission criticised the Council for retaining the name, saying the decision went against the Council's equality scheme and recommended it be reviewed. The review led to a public consultation on whether to retain or abolish the name, the findings of which agreed it should be retained.
Following this, the Commission said it was "disappointed" by the decision, but accepted that a Council review had taken into account legal obligations around equality and good relations. However this was also called into question when opponents of the park's name launched judicial review proceedings earlier this year.
On the back of this action, the Commission has now decided the Council did not fully comply with its recommendations, specifically on transparency. As a result, commissioners are calling for the Council to debate and vote on the issue "in public and properly recorded" with councillors given "qualitative analysis" of the consultation responses.
Dr. Michael Wardlow, head of the Equality Commission, said: "When we made our previous decision, the Commission expressed its disappointment that the opportunity was not taken to find a name for the play park that would have more positive resonances with all those in the Council area and that would be more conducive to good relations between the communities. That remains our view".
It is now up to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council to further examine the issue.
Ulster Unionist representatives, Danny Kennedy MLA and Councillor David Taylor welcomed the Commission's recommendation, saying it represented "a significant U-turn by the Commission, which although belated, was still welcome".
In a joint statement, they said: "We look forward to the Council, as quickly as possible, overturning and changing for good the disgraceful and offensive decision taken originally by NMDC and we are confident that there is a clear potential majority on the current Council to make that change, if the political will is there.

Vectrix(TM) Wins 2nd Consecutive
VECTRIX™, the leader in two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles, motorcycles, and scooters, is proud to announce that the VECTRIX™ clean energy scooter, the VX-1 Li/Li+, won European "e-Scooter of the Year" for the second consecutive year at the third annual "Clean Week 2020" event at the prestigious Circuit Zolder racetrack May 2nd to 6th, 2012 in Belgium. VECTRIX's second European "e-Scooter of the Year" award for the VX-1 Li/Li+ comes after the VX-1 Li/Li+ was named to Scientific American's 2011 "Annual Gadget Guide."
The intense and rigorous "CleanWeek 2020" competition was judged by a prominent panel of 12 automotive and motorcycle journalists from Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Scandinavia, U.K., Italy, Switzerland, and Austria using challenging criterion that included Ecoscore (consumption, emissions, and noise), Driving Range, Recycling, Refilling/Reloading, Price, Performance/Consumption, Aesthetics/Styling, Drivability, Availability in the Market, and Quality of the Press Kit. The Circuit Zolder "Clean Week 2020" award categories included e-Scooters (under 25 km/h/15 mph, under 45 km/h/30 mph, and over 45 km/h/30 mph), e-Bicycle, e-Quadricycle, and e-Bike (on-road, off-road, and MX). The VECTRIX electric VX-1 Li/Li+ has competed in and won the "over 45 km/h (30 mph)" class both years it has entered the CleanWeek event (2011 and 2012).
"Vectrix is so proud to take home the European e-Scooter of the Year award for the second year in a row for our clean energy VX-1 Li/Li+," said Brian Buccella, Vectrix Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We are very pleased to be recognized by such a prestigious panel of motorcycle and scooter experts who understand the core technologies, value, performance, quality, and cost-effectiveness of our Vectrix electric scooters. To win this category two consecutive years is amazing. It is indeed a tribute to the entire Vectrix team who continue to set the global standard for electric transportation. To receive this validation once again from the European motorcycle journalist community is proof that Vectrix is the world leader in clean energy vehicles."
VX-1 Li/Li+: The VECTRIX VX-1 Li/Li+ has been awarded the European "e-Scooter of the Year" by Belgium's Circuit Zolder's CleanWeek 2020 for two years in a row (May 2011 + 2012). Perfect for commuting and touring, as well as police, security, and cargo-parcel delivery applications, the zero-gas emission VX-1 Li and Li+ are the latest generation of VECTRIX's flagship vehicle, the VX-1. The clean energy VECTRIX VX-1 now offers two lithium (LiFePO4) battery options — the VX-1 Li — a 30-amp hour battery, and the VX-1 Li+ — a 42-amp hour battery. At an estimated electrical recharge cost of one cent per mile, the VX-1 Li and Li+ reduce operating costs while increasing personal transportation efficiency.
The VX-1 is powerful and fast providing superior handling due to a low center of gravity, stiff frame, and even weight distribution. With a curb weight of 425 pounds (193 kg) for the VX-1 Li and 460 pounds (209 kg) for the VX-1 Li+, both bikes are capable of speeds up to 68 mph (110 km/h). The VX-1 Li has a range of up to 40 to 60 miles (64 to 96 km) and the VX-1 Li+ has a range of up to 55-85 miles (88 to 136 km) [depending on factors like terrain, weight, etc.]. The VX-1 Li accelerates from 0-50 mph (0-80 km/h) in 6.0 seconds and the VX-1 Li+ accelerates from 0-50 mph (0-80 km/h) in 6.25 seconds. Both new VX-1 Li and Li+ models come standard with the patented VECTRIX™ Multi-Function Throttle which provides regenerative braking for maximization of range and a slow-speed reverse for ease-of-use while parking as well as the patented rugged VECTRIX™ rear-wheel mounted planetary gear drive. Both new VX-1 models come with a 1.5 kW on-board battery charger that plugs into a standard 110V/220V and features a recharge time of around 3 to 4 hours for the VX-1 Li and 4 to 6 hours for the VX-1 Li+. Both VX-1s are incredibly cost-effective to operate and produce zero gas emissions.
The Vectrix VX-1 is available in White, Black, and Silver. The MSRP for the VX-1 Li is $11,995 USD (EUR 8,850 not including VAT) and the VX-1 Li+ is $13,995 USD (EUR 10,050 not including VAT). For more information, please visit www.vectrix.com.
Key Features of the VECTRIX VX-1 Li/Li+:

Q: Is there a collective term to describe "coffee" and "tea"? Any term to describe both of them — coffee and tea collectively?
I wanted to call it beverages but that also includes drinks outside coffee and tea. Also, I could call it hot drinks but that would also include any hot beverages.
Any ideas to call both of them collectively?

A: Caffeinated hot beverages would narrow it down a bit, but this would also include mate, which isn't tea.
If such a word exists I'd like to have it on a t-shirt, with a big love heart.

A: Here in Britain they're collectively known as beverages or, more prosaically, as hot drinks. In more refined circles this implicitly includes such high-faluting things as green tea, mate, bush tea and hot cordials like Ribena.

A: Not really, there isn't.
Caffeinated drinks or beverages might be more accurate, but that could include energy drinks, pre-workout supplements, a lot of other hot drinks that might contain coffee such as Mochas, etc It also becomes a problem when you introduce decaf cofffee or decaf tea. Redbush tea has little to no caffeine, so this won't work.
While it would be technically correct and understood by most, you might come off as a little awkward or pedantic asking someone if they want a caffeinated beverage in day to day use. I would expect to see the term in more scientific/academic/informative contexts, e.g. "the average temperature of a caffeinated beverage"
If you really need a word or phrase for day to day use, here's a few more colloquial alternatives that would work in the UK:

*

*"a cuppa?"

*"a brew?"

*"Tea & Coffee?"

Though none are standard aside from the last. They're mostly subjective, and vary from region to region.
Or more simply, just ask if they'd like a drink
But there is a specific whimsical beverage if you're looking for a joke:
"Teaffee"

*

*2 tablespoons coffee

Air Care: Thoughts on Health Care from 39,000 Feet.
I'm sitting in Economy traveling from the City of Angels the Big Apple. Just in front of me is the First Class (FC) section. The cabins are separated by a curtain and I watch a stylish stewardess hovering over a passenger there. The FC passengers get the best attention money can buy. Food, drinks, a table cloth for their meals! Solicitous smiles from the stews. We, in coach, get a small packet of pretzels, soda, juice or water and our servers' RBFs.
As a physician, I aspire to treat every patient as a FC passenger on Air Care. It is unachievable to do this, and many doctors don't even try. Two-thirds of my private practice dermatology colleagues don't see Medicaid patients.1 They limit their "cabins" to FC and Economy Plus passengers. Some physicians will only see FC patient-travelers. Then there are the concierge practitioners who are similar to the 0.01% who own or rent private jets. What has happened to our noble tradition?
So, I resolve, in my allotted time to try to abolish class distinctions on this dermatology craft that I captain. It will be instructive to see how this plays out; if, indeed, if this can be done.
*Addendum: Note received the day I had these thoughts.
sorry to bother you but i thought i would get your opinion on something. my girlfriend has seizures and has had an MRI over a week ago and a 72 hour in-home EEG a week ago. she has a neurologist in [X] who is not attached to [our local medical center] and works alone three days a week. [The neurologist] is VERY unprofessional and has not given her any feed back. i told her to call her PCP and say she wanted a referral for a second opinion and they said No, she had to go to the neurologist in X to get a referral for a second opinion. She has Medicaid and is pretty much told she has to settle for what she has. the doctor in X doesn't even bring her into a [exam] room and talks to her in the lobby with people walking by. this all sounds crazy to me and i thought you may have a suggestion.

Ken Griffey Jr. Elected To Major League Baseball Hall of Fame
KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:
The votes are in, and to no one's surprise, Ken Griffey Jr. made it into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. He got the nod from more than 99 percent of baseball writers. Who else made it? Who got snubbed? For that, we turn to Jonah Keri, who covers baseball for Sports Illustrated. Welcome back to the show.
JONAH KERI: Thanks for having me.
MCEVERS: And like we just said, Griffey got 99 percent of the vote. I mean, that means that three people didn't vote for him. What could possibly be their reasons for saying no?
KERI: I assume they all had lobotomies within the last couple of weeks.
MCEVERS: (Laughter).
KERI: That's the only logical explanation.
MCEVERS: Right.
KERI: No, I mean, you know, some people turn in blank ballots as a result of protest or do these kind of look-at-me votes. It's really hard to say, but, I mean, Griffey was obviously deserving and certainly should've had 100 percent.
MCEVERS: I mean, Mike Piazza, who's regarded as the best-hitting catcher of all time finally made it into the Hall of Fame in his fourth year of eligibility. Why did it take so long?
KERI: Yeah, it's a great question. You know, there were some people that were making kind of veiled accusations that maybe he had used performance-enhancing drugs at some point - hard to say. But in terms of merit anyway, I mean, absolutely the best offensive catcher of all time, just a titan in his day - and a 62nd round draft pick, too. This is history in that Griffey is the highest draft pick ever to get in - he was number one overall - and Piazza's by far the lowest - I mean, by far. He's a great, great player and a deserving Hall of Famer, along with Griffey.
MCEVERS: Now let's talk about the snubs. What was the most egregious omission here?
KERI: Well, Tim Raines and Jeff Bagwell certainly deserved to get in. They both came up a little bit short - Bagwell 71 percent and change, Raines just under 70 percent. But both of those guys made significant progress from last year - 15, 16, 17 percent jumps. That's a lot, and it bodes well for them both to get in next year. So I mean, if you view this thing as a process and you kind of need momentum and you have to change people's minds gradually, then you could say OK, these guys were snubbed, they're great candidates and I'm not happy about it. But you can turn around and say you know what? Next year looks good for both of them. So those would be two of the biggies. I guess the other one would be the PED guys, the performance-enhancing-drug guys. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens specifically on merit absolutely should be in the Hall of Fame, but there a lot of voters that draw a line in the sand and won't vote for guys that are widely believed to have used performance-enhancing drugs.
MCEVERS: I mean, do you think voters have softened their stance at all on this?
KERI: They have because we've seen Bonds and Clemens go up 7 percent each this year on the ballot, so we're seeing that. And part of that is also a reflection of the changing electorate. There were only 440 voters this year because they chopped a bunch of people off of the rolls -some of the older voters, especially people who hadn't been voting for a while. And we're also seeing new voters come in, and those voters tend to be younger and more progressive, and they also tend to vote for people like Barry Bonds.
MCEVERS: I mean, how big of a deal is it still to get voted into the Hall of Fame? I mean, do players still consider it a hallowed ground, like, as much as those sportswriters and fans?
KERI: Oh, absolutely. It's a very big deal to them. It's affirmation for them. You know, this is the highest honor that a baseball player can have. And I would add, by the way, that if you want to get really pragmatic about it, especially if it's somebody who played in the '70s or the '80s, this is a chance for them to get well financially. The value of their autographs goes up. It's just kind of an honor, and it's something that can help them. Quite frankly, you know, a lot of these people are not necessarily that well-off because they didn't make 15 or $20 million a year. So just for them and their families and their children and grandchildren, what have you, that's a nice little edge as well.
MCEVERS: That's Jonah Keri. He covers baseball for Sports Illustrated, talking about the newest members of baseball's Hall of Fame - Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza. Thanks so much.
KERI: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The brewer's art
Since doing a post, over a year ago, about a lovely 'West Country Ales' brewery plaque, I've meant to return to the subject and post at least one more of the ceramic plaques or 'house marks' that breweries used to identify their brand on the outsides of public houses. So here, at last, is one of my favourites, the plaque of the Morland brewery of Abingdon, although I would like to be able to share more information about it than I can.
You get the idea quickly enough: the plaque depicts an 18th-century artist with his palette, eyeing a glass of beer, with the implication that brewing is an art in itself, and you'll find the equivalent of a masterpiece of brewing at a Morland house. But it's a little more than that. Morland was the name of an actual artist – indeed, a family of actual artists, in the 18th century. Perhaps the most well known of them was Henry Robert Morland (c. 1716–97), a portrait painter whose most famous subject was King George III. But the image on the plaque is said to be of his son, animal painter George Morland. I don't think the brewing family, who founded their business in 1711, was connected closely with the artistic Morlands – but I'm not sure: perhaps a reader knows.
These brightly coloured artist plaques are quite common in the area around Abingdon – this one is on a residential building, presumably a former pub, in Bampton – even now the firm no longer exists as a separate entity (it was bought by Greene King in 2000) and the brewery in Abingdon has been covered to apartments. Probably the most brightly coloured of brewery house marks, the plaques were made by Carter's of Poole or Poole Pottery and are said to have been designed by Reginald Bell. Was this the same Reginald Bell who was part of the Clayton and Bell stained-glass firm? Again, I'd be pleased to hear if anyone knows.
The Morland brand name is still familiar to drinkers – beers such as Old Speckled Hen (and a family of other 'Hen'-related beers and ales) are widely drunk. A few who drink these will remember various brews with artist-related names that Morland's once produced, when they were independent exponents of the brewer's art.

I've meant for a while to take a photograph of one of London's few surviving police boxes – those blue kiosks from which police officers and the public could get in direct contact with a police station – but the other day I saw this rather different one in Sheffield and thought it would make an interesting alternative.
Sheffield's police began to install boxes like this one by the Town Hall during the 1920s and continued to use them until the 1960s, by which time officers were equipped with personal radios. Each one had a telephone that any member of the police or the public could use to report a crime or other emergency – it was accessible from the outside by opening the small cupboard door beneath the window. In addition officers, as well as calling out from the box, would visit it every hour, when the station telephoned through any important information. Officers out on patrol often used the boxes for meal breaks or even for doing a bit of quick report writing. The Sheffield boxes, which had a generous, squarish plan as opposed to the smaller London boxes, had just about enough space to make this possible.* The box also contained a first aid kit – I wonder if people got to this through another small door located where there is now a silver plaque outlining the history of police boxes.
Anyone familiar with London's police boxes (and that is a lot of people since the Doctor in the TV series Dr Who uses one¶) will be surprised that this Sheffield example looks very different – green, not blue and with a curved roof rather than the stepped pyramidal roof of the London design. Police boxes in London were blue and boxes in some cities were red, apparently: I suppose any strong colour worked provided that the box was recognisable. One feature that was common to all the boxes was a blue light (long gone from this one) which was controlled from a central point and a could be made to flash to summon an officer.
Before the advent of proper mobile communications, police boxes must have been invaluable to the constabulary. According to one source, they were even used as temporary lockups in some towns – although I doubt that the wooden walls and glass windows of this one would have made it very suitable for this. But as a communications aid, this simple design, smart enough to take its place on a city street, big enough to contain a desk and a stool, and bright enough to be seen, no doubt served the city and its police force well.
* Edinburgh's fine blue police boxes, of neo-Classical design with broken pediments, were of a rectangular shape and also roomy.
¶ The Doctor's time machine and spacecraft, the Tardis, took, and takes, and will take the form of a London police box. Such is the success of the long-running series that many British people are now more likely to think of the Doctor than the police when they see one of these.

Uncommon market
An occasional recurring theme of this blog is my memories of places and how buildings and places themselves trigger memories. I alluded to this when I wrote a post about London's Covent Garden Market a couple of years ago. The Covent Garden area has played a major part in my life. I worked for a publisher in Covent Garden for two stints in the 1980s and 1990s, and at the beginning of the first period, the Resident Wise Woman also worked nearby. It was also sometimes a place to stay on in the evening – I remember it for various meals, summer vertical drinking sessions outside the Lamb and Flag, opera performances, and plays in the Donmar Warehouse Theatre.
Before I worked round there I remember seeing a television film about the area and the market. In my memory, this film of the 1970s was in black and white and was structured around a day in the life of the market. I didn't remember much else about it, except that it featured evocative shots of market and streets, and of market people and traffic in abundance…and that the background music was Beethoven's Pathétique sonata, the three movements (fast–slow–fast) of which reflected the changing pace of life throughout 24 mostly hectic hours.
A few years ago it occurred to me that I might be able to find this film on the internet. So I googled it, and found Lindsay Anderson's marvellous 1950s documentary Every Day Except Christmas (1957), which covers a day in the life of the market in beautifully lit black and white cinematography. But it wasn't the film I'd remembered. There was no Beethoven music, and Anderson's film was made in the 1950s (I'd associated my memory with the imminent closure of the fruit and vegetable market in the 1970s), and it was different in other ways I couldn't pin down. Could there have been another film? I couldn't find it.
The other day I looked again. And there, among various links to Anderson's documentary was another. This was a film made for the television arts programme Aquarius, just before the market closed in 1972. First there was a shock: a very staightlaced introduction by presenter Humphrey Burton, square black spectacles and all, revealed that it was in colour – but then in 1972 I was probably watching it on my mother's television set, which was black and white, so my memory of it was naturally in monochrome. And when the introduction was over, the clang of a metal shutter resounded and the opening chord of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No 8 Opus 13, the Pathéthique, rang out. In no time at all, we were off with people drinking in the Essex Serpent at 5 am, vans being shoehorned into minimal parking spaces (to the accompaniment of much bleeped-out swearing), and business beginning and after the music's slow, declamatory opening, film and music were off at a canter, and the market's frenetic daily activity was underway. As it appears on YouTube the film still has its relentless timecode and a persistent background hiss, but was still good enough to make me gasp, 'This is it!'
It was a revelation, as a succession of images unfolded and came back to me. Lippy greengrocers, old codgers in pubs, all-night cafés, men in a workshop making ballet shoes, other people making market barrows, ceramics, copper pans, bookbindings, suits of armour, and an aristocratic woman arriving for her job in a publishing company, something I'd be doing a decade after the film was made, although not in a chauffeur-driven car. Most uncanny for me was a point where they were talking about traffic and parked cars blocking the way and into my head came the thought, 'In a moment some blokes are going to pick that car up in their bare hands and move it.' And this is what happened. It was striking that there were still some vestiges of the old area very much there when I first worked there (but then I arrived in 1980 so this was not totally surprising): the ballet shoe shop, Collins's ironmongers ('Four candles'), some of the greasy spoons, Rule's Restaurant (roast beef and suet puds for the well upholstered), the opera house, one of the pubs.
The film was made when there was a very real prospect that huge swathes of the area would be demolished to make way for better roads and modern office buildings. The Covent Garden Community Association made the case for more measured change, and this is what we got – the fruit and vegetable market went, and the boutiques and tourist shops arrived, but most of the streets were preserved and much of the area's architectural character survives. But the community is different. Few people like those drinking in the Essex Serpent or dropping in to chew the fat at the barrow-makers could afford to live in the area now. That's a cost of the crowded shops and gentrification and tourism on speed. The film's last shot shows a graffito saying 'This was home'.

Sheffield, of course, is known above all as a steel town. Even in the commercial city centre, away from the larger forges and factories, we're often reminded of this. The White Building on Fitzalan Square is an office block of 1908 clad in faience and is one of the many substantial such buildings that reflect the prosperity of this place in the 19th and early-20th centuries – prosperity that was largely down to the steel industry.
The faience cladding was unusual here in 1908 – the dominant hues in this city are red brick, orangey terracotta, and stone. There are more later white buildings (together with the late-20th century's contributions of concrete in a range of greys) so when this one was erected, it was known as The White Building, as if there was just the one. It certainly stands out, with its flattened arches and unusually shaped pediments above the upper windows, not to mention the surprising, almost rococo swags below the cornice. Gibbs & Flockon,* the architects, did a more than decent job.
But what I most like about it is the way the building acknowledges Sheffield's industrial activity with a series of ten reliefs of Sheffield trades, by Alfred and William Tory. These are in low relief and beautifully delineate various metalworking jobs, from casting to engraving and planishing. The figures are well modelled, and look as if drawn from life, with both sculptors adept at rendering the surfaces of flesh and garments. If the white surfaces, recalling classical marble, give the reliefs a sense of calm and cool that's a world away from the heat and noise of a real factory, they still have an authentic feel to them: this looks like real work, combining strength and skill. Above all, the workers, variously employed, are united in their intent concentration on the job in hand.
* A longstanding Sheffield firm, which changed name as family members and other partners came and went.

Eye-Witness to industry
One of the things that impressed me about Sheffield was that there are still remains of its industrial past right in the centre of the city. Most visitors must be aware of this – a walk down the central Arundel Street reveals a number of former factories; some of them have been beautifully restored; all the buildings are at least in use. My walks around the city took me west of these buildings, until I came to Milton Street and found Eye-Witness Works, which, my Pevsner City Guide to Sheffield tells me, is the only traditional integrated cutlery works still in operation in the city. Except that it isn't any more: I arrived to find notices on the doors with details of the firm's new address. Eye-Witness works, meanwhile, bears a 'for sale' sign.
What one can see from the street is a long, three-storey brick building that fronts three courtyards. Looking at the brickwork, and the style and position of the windows, it's clear that the building is actually the result of several different construction phases. The part in the foreground, with the round-topped windows at first-floor level, is from about 1852, the other parts came later, with the long range at the far end added in about 1875, when the older sections were also heightened (see the change in the colour of the brickwork). The early part of the building, at least, is not totally utilitarian – the corner has some stone dressing and there's a Venetian window above the first cart entrance, to add a visual highlight. Mostly though, this factory is plain and businesslike and must have served its users well for decades.
The lettering however, as can be seen in my lower photograph, is barely hanging on. The paintwork has deteriorated and some of the letters have fallen off, while others are coming to pieces. They look to be wooden letters, and naturally have not proved as durable as the carved stone signs on some of the other former factories in the city. It would be wonderful if the purchasers restored this lettering, so that we are never in any doubt that this was 'Eye-Witness Works, Cutlery and Plate Manufacturers', the message as clear as it was at the time the sign was first erected, perhaps in the late-19th century, when it must have been as shiny as Sheffield plate.
* I have a feeling there may be one or two more Sheffield posts coming up.

Marks of quality
To Sheffield, where I gave a talk and spent a day or so admiring the architecture. Having little time, I restricted myself to the city centre and marvelled at the variety – of stone and brick, industrial and commercial, old and new, filigree and brutalist. One of the highlights for me were a number of architectural sculptures by the Tory family, who were active in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. First there was Frank Tory, who got his training at Lambeth College of Art before coming to Sheffield to produce carvings for the corn exchange (no longer standing). As well as doing a range of architectural carving he taught at the Sheffield College of Art and among his pupils were his twin sons Alfred Herbert and William Frank.
Here's a bit of Frank's work, on Parade Chambers, an 1883 building for Pawson and Brailsford, a company of printers and stationers. The architects, M E Hadfield and Sons, gave his client an impressive Tudor style building in brick with stone dressings, with offices on the upper floors, shops below. It's a memorable building, with ornate gables, turrets, oriels, and tall chimneys, but what sets it apart for me is the carving on the stonework. The panel in my photograph is in a window above the doorway and features heads of Geoffrey Chaucer and William Caxton within wreaths of leaves.
With this panel Pawson and Brailsford put themselves firmly in the tradition of great English printers – Caxton was thought to have introduced printing to England and his first known book was an edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. This was not an unusual line for printers to take – I've noticed a printer doing a similar thing in Bristol. However, Edward Everard, the Bristolian printer, also linked himself with a great modern master, William Morris, and chose the latest Art Nouveau style for the decoration of his building. This Sheffield firm by contrast emphasised tradition in both architecture and decorative subject matter and their use of first-class architectural sculptors also says something about their commitment to quality.

Well worth the trouble
The shops of F W Woolworth were a feature of British high streets until they closed, during the financial crisis, in 2008. Quite a few Woolworth's shop fronts remain, albeit adapted with new signs and often new colour schemes. Once you get your eye in, you start to spot signs that a building used to be a Woolworth's – floor mosaics by the door with the Woolworth's 'W in a diamond' symbol, lion masks, sometimes the lovely early-20th century doors with polished finger-plates and kick-plates. Some of their fronts were Art Deco designs from the 1920s or 1930s, but the company also built neo-Georgian facades in some towns – perhaps mindful of the need to fit into streets where there was plenty of historic architecture.
That's the case in Ledbury, where historic buildings abound and Woolworth's built this brick frontage in 1937. Although I could see no floor mosaics or lions, the shop window, with its broad lobby, narrow mullions, and stall riser clad in polished granite are very much the kind of thing the Woolworth's went in for. The glazing bars must have been repainted bright red – many Woolworth's window frames were done in a bronze finish.
The neo-Georgian part above the shop window is neat and polite, in the sense that it doesn't impinge on the character of the street, which includes a mix of Tudor timber-framed, Georgian, Victorian, and later buildings. A very Woolworth touch is that the sash windows have opaque glass, as usual for an upstairs floor in one of their stores, because the stockroom was generally on this floor. The company that took the shop over have knowingly capitalised on Woolworth's heritage by adopting a similar name. They have been here a while now: no doubt their former Woolworth's premises have proved a good home.
For more on the history of Woolworth's, see Kathryn Morrison's excellent book Woolworth's: 100 Years on the High Street, which I reviewed here.

Pershore, Worcestershire
I suppose quite a few people must have looked at the front Pershore's Town Hall on the town's High Street and thought that its neo-Georgian style was not inappropriate for a place with quite a few Georgian brick buildings. It's well proportioned, substantial without being overwhelming, and seems to have a air of authority about it. But this building hasn't always been the Town Hall. It was built in 1932 as the Post Office – and the qualities seem just as fitting to its original purpose. When you're there you can guess the building's former use from the royal monograms and crowns on the keystones above the doorway.
In the interwar period, and again for a few years after World War II, this kind of neo-Georgian was used widely for town Post Offices. If they hoped to convey such virtues as reliability and authority by using neo-Georgian, the style also went well with Royal Mail's the signage – now gone, of course, from this particular building – with its Classically inspired lettering.* Now, when many of the GPO's originally services have been hived off, many Post Offices in major towns are mere counters in branches of the Co-op or W H Smith. In such a context, Post Offices like Pershore's seem to come from another world.
It's good that this example has found another role. It would be a shame to loose that neat Flemish bond brickwork, all those glazing bars (especially the ones on the ground floor, with the central window subtly different from those flanking it), the segmentally headed dormers, the elaborate tops to the doorways with their carved keystones. I'm sure most Pershore residents give the building their stamp of approval.
* There is an example of the lettering in a previous piece I wrote about Post Offices, here.

One pump or two?
Pump Cottage: what image does it conjure up in the mind's eye? A small house next to the village pump, perhaps, to which the locals used to come for their water supply – as my mother did in rural Lincolnshire in the mid-1950s, when I was just old enough to toddle along to the pump with her. In Withington, Gloucestershire, it's a rather different story. The pump next to Pump Cottage here is a petrol pump, now rusted, but hanging on just enough to be recognisable. As regular readers will know, when I see an old petrol pump, I can rarely resist stopping and looking and taking a photograph of it. Sometimes I'm attracted by a beautiful piece of design; sometimes I'm just interested in how times have changed, and how the roadside pump ironically became a rarity as the roads got busier.§
At Withington, what stopped me in my tracks was simply admiration of a bit of what John Piper called 'pleasing decay'. I'm pleased that Jonathan Meades is also attracted by this sort of thing, by the sight, as he put it once, of an old petrol pump, 'pitted and crisp as an overcooked biscuit'. Each time I passed, I meant to stop, but – it's so often the way – because the village is on a regular route of mine I put off pulling in and getting the camera out. The other day, realising that the thing was rusting away and soon might not be there at all, I stopped at last, in spite of the Resident Wise Woman's doubts about the contrasty light.*
And that was almost that. Except that I wondered about the history of this pump and did a little research. Apparently Mr E J Cripps, the proprietor of Withington's garage, had to close his business 60 years ago because of 'a rate reassessment'.† There's a photograph of him at the Getty Images site, standing proudly by not one but two pumps. Both pumps were still there about 12 years ago, when another photograph, to be found on Geograph, shows one still with its 'BP' logo.¶ So today I post my picture of the single survivor, crisp and well cooked now, as a reminder of the time the garage closed – at around about the same time as your infant author was toddling to the water pump with his mother.
§ Many small rural garages closed, from the 1950s onwards, often as a result of competition from larger businesses in towns and on main roads.
* But I like contrasty lighting.
† For my non-British readers, this means an increase in local taxation.
¶ Those who want to see the pump handle mechanism more clearly should look at this Geograph image, which was taken in different lighting conditions. The 'BP' shield is just about visible beneath the rust in my own picture, but only at high resolution.

The Cross in Stroud is a road junction at the top end of the High Street that many people must miss. A paved area at the uppermost point of the High Street cuts it off visually, whereas in years gone by traffic must have come up the now pedestrianised street and made its way on and up to Bisley one way or Chalford the other. Now the main landmark here is the old Coop building of 1931, a neat Art Deco design by William Leah with rather pleasantly angular lines, a central clock and a cross-motif in the balustrade that's repeated in the glazing pattern of the upper parts of the shop windows. With its raised central portion it makes an attractive corner building.
It must have been a sizeable store, but the Coop is long gone and the building now houses several shops: a launderette, a café, a Chinese take-away…and a secondhand bookshop, R & R Books, which I usually visit when I'm in Stroud. I have posted before about the joys of bookshops, specifically Old Hall Books in Brackley and Richard Booth's in Hay. R & R is another favourite, this time a shop stocking exclusively secondhand books, and one from which I always seem to come away with at least one purchase.
I have spent many enjoyable hours in secondhand bookshops. There are fewer of them around than there used to be, because so many secondhand booksellers now trade online, leaving the high streets to charity bookshops run by the likes of Oxfam. Online buying makes a lot of sense in some ways – you can search for what you want, and find it without leaving your house – and the internet gives you access to millions of books offered by a world of booksellers. In spite of this choice, I think the demise of high street secondhand bookshops is a shame, because there is a great deal to be said for browsing and buying real used books in a real shop.
There are various reasons for this. For book collectors, it helps to be able to see the exact condition of the copy on sale – there are many things you can see that even a thorough bookseller's description (or even a photograph) can reveal. There is also the pleasure of dealing face to face with the bookseller: you can ask them questions, learn things, talk with people who often have the same interests as you. But more than all this, there is the benefit of serendipity, of accidental discoveries. In bricks and mortar bookshops I have discovered titles I didn't know existed, shedding new light on subjects I'm interested in, or opening up entire subjects, such as psychogeography or the design of petrol pumps, or the history of plotland developments. I'd call such discoveries educational and life-enhancing.
R & R Books in Stroud is not a large bookshop, but it has an interesting stock that turns over, and a helpful owner. In it I've found over the years books I'd not come across before on such subjects as Art Nouveau, graphic design, and the architecture of Liverpool. I've also found quite a few old guidebooks (always interesting to me) and books I wouldn't have bought without looking closely at them first, such as an early edition of J M Richards's An Introduction to Modern Architecture, of which I already had a more recent copy – comparing the two editions and discovering how the author revised his text and added new buildings over the course of time was fascinating, to me anyway. R & R also sell various kinds of printed ephemera, and I've been unable to resist such delights as old London bus maps and a 1966 Sunday Times Magazine with a special feature on English contemporary poets.
Stroud had another excellent secondhand bookshop, Inprint, but it has recently closed. There's still an Oxfam with a few books, plus books to buy at the café in the top picture, plus a new bookshop on the High Street. On Saturdays, Stroud's celebrated printmaking anarcho-cyclist poet Dennis Gould sells a small selection of mostly used books and his own letterpress prints on an outside stall in the Shambles market off the High Street, and R & R have an indoor stall there too. Stroud is an excellent town for the book lover, and for me R & R Books is the place to start – and finish.

How Extinction Works
by Tracy V. Wilson
The Extinction of a Species
The coelacanth is a Lazarus species. Scientists thought it became extinct millions of years ago, but living specimens reappeared in 1938.

Every once in a while, a species that hasn't gone extinct will disappear from the fossil record. Sometimes, this is because a life form has evolved into a new species -- this is known as pseudoextinction. Life forms can also disappear from the fossil record and reappear later. These Lazarus species may have experienced a dip in population, or they may not have died in conditions that lead to fossilization.
But most of the time, when a species disappears from the fossil record -- or from the face of the planet today -- it's because it's on its way to extinction. Typically, these small-scale extinctions happen because of some kind of change in the environment where a life form lives. While some species can adapt to the changes, others die, and if enough die, the species becomes extinct. These are some of the biggest factors in the extinctions of particular species:
Competition with new species
Human hunting
Contaminants in the environment, such as pesticides
The loss of one species can also lead to the loss of many others. For example, flowering plants rely on pollinators, like bees and butterflies, to reproduce. If the pollinators disappear, the flowering plants can die, too. The same is true with changes in the food chain. If an animal relies on a specific plant for food and that plant becomes extinct, the animal will soon follow unless it's able to change its diet. A good example is the extinctions that happened at the end of the last ice age, about 11,000 years ago. Small mammals began to go extinct, probably because of climate change and changes in geography. This caused the extinction of bigger animals, like saber-tooth cats, which lost their food source.
Typically, little changes like this happen all over the world all the time, leading to the extinction of a few interrelated species. But sometimes the stress on an ecosystem is so large that not many life forms survive. Next, we'll look at some of the world's biggest extinctions.
When Extinction Is a Good Thing
Although most environmentalists view extinction as a threat to life on the planet, a few extinctions are generally regarded as good. One example is the eradication of the smallpox virus. Smallpox was a life-threatening illness in most of the world until vaccines stopped its spread. In 1980, the World Health Organization declared that the smallpox virus was extinct, although a few samples of the virus still exist in laboratories today.

Buy Calan 40mg, 80mg, 120mg, 240mg Online | Order Cheap Calan at Low Cost from Heal Pharmacy.
Verapamil is a calcium channel broker. It functions by comforting the cardiac muscles and blood vessels. It is used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, cluster headaches and certain heart beat disorders. Verapamil is sold under various brands.
Calan is one of the well known marketing brands for this drug. It is an effective medication for migraine. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 1982. It has been reported to be effective in the treatment of chest pain. The chest pain is caused due to insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart. Calcium channel brokers like Verapamil dilates the vessels which improves the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
The drug helps to control blood pressure by widening arteries, which is generally achieved by restraining calcium from flowing into the blood vessels. It was the first calcium channel blocker to be introduced for clinical use. The drug was developed in search for antihypertensives similar to propranolol.
Verapamil is available in the form of a tablet, an extended-release (long-acting) tablet, and an extended-release capsule to take by mouth. The extended release tablets and capsules can be swallowed as whole. If one finds it difficult to swallow then contents of the capsule can be sprinkled onto a spoonful of applesauce. It should be swallowed immediately with a glass of water.
The directions on the prescription label should be followed. In some cases the dosages of the drug can be changed by the doctor to get the best results. The dose should be taken strictly as prescribed by the doctor. Overdose of the drug can be fatal so one needs to be careful while taking the drug. Seek medical attention immediately in such case.
People who have serious heart conditions should not use Verapamil. It is not known whether the drug harms an unborn baby. So, therefore, pregnant patients should consult the doctor while taking the drug. The drug can pass into breast milk and may harm an unborn baby. Breastfeeding women should not use this medication without telling the doctor.
High blood pressure patients can safely take the medication. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. The blood pressure of the patient should be checked at regular intervals during the medication. Patients should inform the doctor if they tend to have allergy to Verpamil or any other drugs.
