Phineas Gage

Phineas P. Gage
The first identified (2009) portrait of Gage, here with his "constant companion for the remainder of his life"[citation needed]—his inscribed tamping iron.[A]
Born	July 9, 1823 (date uncertain) Grafton Co., New Hampshire[B]
Died	May 21, 1860 (aged 36) In or near San Francisco
Cause of death	Status epilepticus
Resting place	Warren Anatomical Museum, Boston (skull) Cypress Lawn Memorial Park, California (other remains)
Residence	New England Chile California
Occupation	Railroad construction foreman blaster stagecoach driver
Known for	Personality change after brain injury
Home town	Lebanon, New Hampshire[B]
Spouse(s)	None
Children	None[1]:319,327

Phineas P. Gage (1823–1860) was an American railroad construction foreman remembered for his improbable^[C] survival of a rock blasting accident in which a large iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying much of his brain's left frontal lobe, and for that injury's reported effects on his personality and behavior over the remaining 12 years of his life, effects so profound that (for a time at least) friends saw him as "no longer Gage".
Long known as "the American Crowbar Case", once termed "the case which more than all others is calculated to excite our wonder, impair the value of prognosis, and even to subvert our physiological doctrines"^[2] Phineas Gage influenced 19th-century discussion about the mind and brain, particularly debate on cerebral localization, and was perhaps the first case to suggest that damage to specific parts of the brain might affect personality.^[1]:ch7-9[3]
Gage is a fixture in the curricula of neurology, psychology and related disciplines, and is frequently mentioned in books and academic papers; he even has a minor place in popular culture.^[4] Despite this celebrity^[5] the body of established fact about Gage and what he was like (before or after his injury) is small, which has allowed "the fitting of almost any theory [desired] to the small number of facts we have"^[1]:290—Gage having been cited, over the years, in support of various theories of the brain entirely inconsistent with one another. A survey of published accounts, including scientific ones, has found that they almost always severely distort Gage's behavioral changes, exaggerating the known facts when not directly contradicting them.
Two photographs of Gage, and a physician's report of his physical and mental condition late in life, were published in 2009 and 2010. This new evidence indicates that Gage's most serious mental changes may have been temporary, so that in later life he was far more functional, and socially far better adjusted, than was previously assumed. A social recovery hypothesis suggests that Gage's employment as a stagecoach driver in Chile provided daily structure allowing him to relearn lost social and personal skills.

Schtinky Cheese?

 Mozzarella

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mozzarella
Other names	Mezzarella (Derived from the Majestic form; Mezzatesta)
Country of origin	Italy
Region, town	traditionally Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Sicily, Lazio, Marches and Molise
Source of milk	water buffalo in Campania and Lazio, cow's milk in other regions
Pasteurised	Sometimes
Texture	Semi-soft
Aging time	None
Certification	Mozzarella di Bufala Campana TSG and PDO 1996[1]

Mozzarella (English /ˌmɒtsəˈrɛlə/; Italian: [mottsaˈrɛlla]) is a fresh cheese, originally from southern Italy, traditionally made from Italian buffalo and later cow's milk by the pasta filata method. The term is used for several kinds of Italian cheeses that are made using spinning and then cutting (hence the name, as the Italian verb mozzare means "to cut"):

• Mozzarella di Bufala (buffalo mozzarella), made from domesticated Italian buffalo's milk in Italy and from other types of buffalo's milk in many nations: in almost all cases Italian breeders or entrepreneurs started production in other nations
• mozzarella fior di latte, made from fresh pasteurized or unpasteurized cow's milk
• low-moisture mozzarella, which is made from whole or part skimmed milk, and widely used in the food-service industry
• mozzarella affumicata (smoked mozzarella)

Fresh mozzarella is generally white, but may vary seasonally to slightly yellow depending on the animal's diet.^[2] It is a semi-soft cheese. Due to its high moisture content, it is traditionally served the day after it is made,^[3] but can be kept in brine for up to a week ^[4] or longer when sold in vacuum-sealed packages. Low-moisture mozzarella can be kept refrigerated for up to a month,^[5] though some shredded low-moisture mozzarella is sold with a shelf life of up to six months.^[6] Mozzarella of several kinds is also used for most types of pizza and several pasta dishes, or served with sliced tomatoes and basil in insalata caprese.

Before an empty canvas?

The Weaver
by Benjamin Malacia Franklin
(Originally titled, "Just a Weaver")

My life is just a weaving
Between my Lord and me.
I cannot change the color
For He works most steadily.

Oft times He weaves the sorrow
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper
And I the underside.

Until the loom is silent
And the shuttle cease to fly,
Will God roll back the canvas
And explain the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful
In the skillful  Weaver's Hand
As the golden threads of silver
He has patterned in His Plan.

Moretan Bay's Wild Fig...

...then so am I, and Proud of it (;+)
The Moretan Bay Fig Tree --

Ficus macrophylla

 

Is where from we get the name The Wild Fig...read on and learn.
Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay Fig, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the Moraceae family that is a native of most of the eastern coast of Australia, from the Atherton Tableland (17° S) in the north to the Illawarra (34° S) in New South Wales, and Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its beautiful buttress roots.
As Ficus macrophylla is a strangler fig, seed germination usually takes place in the canopy of a host tree and the seedling lives as an epiphyte until its roots establish contact with the ground. It then enlarges and strangles its host, eventually becoming a freestanding tree by itself. Individuals may reach 60 m (200 ft) in height. Like all figs, it has an obligate mutualism with fig wasps; figs are only pollinated by fig wasps, and fig wasps can only reproduce in fig flowers.
Ficus macrophylla is widely used as a feature tree in public parks and gardens in warmer climates such as California, Portugal, Italy (Sicily, Sardinia, Liguria) and Australia. Old specimens can reach tremendous size. Its aggressive root system allows its use in only the largest private gardens.
