The word hieroglyph came into Engish in the 1580s to refer to those carvings that were of the nature of Egyptian monumental writing. The word comes from the Ancient Greek hieros meaning sacred, and glyphe meaning carving.
The word hieros is also the basis of the word hierarchy, that came into English in the late 14th century, meaning a sacred order.
Charlotte Bronte was 4’9″ or 4’10” (1.45m) with a very slight build. One of her dresses on display at the Bronte parsonage in Haworth looks tiny.
And, here’s another fact: If her father had not changed his name when he came from Ireland to England to seek his fortune, she would have been Charlotte Brunty.
Dysphoria: A state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction with life: Typical of adolescents with depression, mania, and anxiety disorders.
The opposite of euphoria.
ORIGIN mid 19th century: from Greek dusphoria, from dusphoros ‘hard to bear’.
Anhedonia – the inability to feel pleasure.
Another way to look at pain and pleasure is that few of our pleasures and pains derive out of thin air. The huge majority are formed from living in the experience of others – what our environment wants, we are attracted to, and what the environment finds abhorent, we find painful. We have no more command over how we are affected than is a bull with a ring through its nose, led this way and that. Our only freedom is in the environment we choose.
These are all from the British Heart Foundation article about how to get protein without the meat. The article decribes the amount of protein in a serving, so I converted the amounts to the protein in 100g of the food
Baked beans 5g
Chickpeas 7g
Lentils 8g
Tofu 8g
Quinoa 5g
Peanuts 25g
Walnuts 13g

The section that caught my eye is where it describes Quinoa, and says it is the seed of a green vegetable related to chard and spinach and that unlike cereals is has all the essential amino acids found in animal protein.
So what does that mean for a person who does not eat quinoa? Where do they get those essential amino acides that are not found in cereals?
When did I first start using MarsEdit to write blogs, and why did I even do it rather than post directly on the blog? As I recall, someone I knew from the Web recommended it and I thought is was a good idea because it meant I wouldn’t have to find the blog and start writing. Instead, I could just open the app and start writing. And then WordPress moved to Javascript and blocks, and then the degree of agreement in the way posts are written and how they appear when sent to the blog broke down.
So now Red Sweater Software, which is just one person – Daniel Jalkut – has brought out a new version of MarsEdit and I am using it to write this post.
You can read more about it here on his site under the titiel MarsEdit 5: Microposting, Markdown Highlighting, and More!
I am using Mardown to format this post, and I can see the syntax highlighting on the link I just wrote, but I haven;’t figured out what microposting is, yet.
So – as a careful reader might intuit, I am writing this as much as anything to test out MarsEdit 5, because i stopped using MarsEdit when WordPress went Block.
OK, time to hit the go button.
When I look at the post in the blog, I see it is writtin in the Classic Editor. If I change it on the blog, what will it do to the format recognition at this end?
Further investigation needed.
One more small gotcha is that in order for the blog to change Markdown to HTML formatting, the blog needs to be intstructed to recognise Markdown. That’s done in the WP Admin interface.
To view the WP Admin interface,
Go to Settings → Writing.
Check the checkbox next to “Use Markdown for posts and pages.”
Click Save Changes to activate Markdown on the site.
