Rosary of the Philosophers Woodcut illustrating the illuminatio stage, captioned "Here Sol plainly dies again, And is drowned with the Mercury of the Philosophers." The Rosary of the Philosophers (Rosarium philosophorum sive pretiosissimum donum Dei) is a 16th-century alchemical treatise. It was published in 1550 as part II of De Alchimia Opuscula complura veterum philosophorum (Frankfurt). The term rosary in the title is unrelated to the Catholic prayer beads; it refers to a "rose garden", metaphoric of an anthology or collection of wise sayings. The 1550 print includes a series of 20 woodcuts with German-language captions, plus a title page showing a group of philosophers disputing about the production of the lapis philosophorum. The Artis auriferae, printed in 1572 in Basel, reproduced the 20 illustrations as re-cut woodcuts. Manuscripts[edit] The Latin text also survives in numerous manuscripts, none of them predating the 1550 print edition. late 16th century Glasgow University Library MS. Translations[edit]
Zosimos of Panopolis Distillation equipment of Zosimos, from the 15th century Byzantine Greek manuscript Codex Parisinus 2327.[1] Zosimos of Panopolis (Greek: Ζώσιμος ὁ Πανοπολίτης; also known by the Latin name Zosimus Alchemista, i.e. "Zosimus the Alchemist") was an Egyptian[2][3][4][5] alchemist and Gnostic mystic who lived at the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th century AD. He was born in Panopolis, present day Akhmim, in the south of Roman Egypt, and flourished ca. 300. He wrote the oldest known books on alchemy, which he called "Cheirokmeta," using the Greek word for "things made by hand." Arabic translations of texts by Zosimos were discovered in 1995 in a copy of the book Keys of Mercy and Secrets of Wisdom by Ibn Al-Hassan Ibn Ali Al-Tughra'i', a Persian alchemist. Alchemy[edit] In general, Zosimos' understanding of alchemy reflects the influence of Hermetic and Gnostic spiritualities.

Homunculus A homunculus (/hoʊˈmʌŋkjʊləs/; Latin for "little person") is a representation of a small human being. Popularized in sixteenth-century alchemy and nineteenth-century fiction, it has historically referred to the creation of a miniature, fully formed human. The concept has roots in preformationism as well as earlier folklore and alchemic traditions. History[edit] Alchemy[edit] astadi with the first mention of the homunculus in De homunculis (c. 1529–1532), and De natura rerum (1537). The homunculus first appears by name in alchemical writings attributed to Paracelsus (1493–1541). That the sperm of a man be putrefied by itself in a sealed cucurbit for forty days with the highest degree of putrefaction in a horse's womb, or at least so long that it comes to life and moves itself, and stirs, which is easily observed. Comparisons have been made with several similar concepts in the writings of earlier alchemists. The homunculus continued to appear in alchemical writings after Paracelsus' time.

One-third of Big Issue sellers now Romanian and many of them have homes AND claim benefits One-third of Big Issue sellers now Romanian: Job once reserved for Britain's homeless has been swamped by Eastern European immigrants. And many of them have homes AND claim benefits By Nick Constable for The Mail on Sunday Updated: 11:54 EDT, 3 February 2012 Over the past 20 years, they have become a familiar fixture on Britain’s high streets: bedraggled, wrapped up against the elements and far from freshly washed – but often with an engaging line in patter. Through their determination to work themselves out of poverty, Big Issue sellers have won the hearts of the more fortunate, who happily buy the magazine in the knowledge they are helping those in genuine difficulty. But over the past year or two, there has been a noticeable change in the appearance of the typical Big Issue seller, with women from the poorer parts of Eastern Europe, in their long skirts and headscarves, increasingly replacing the male, native British homeless people. ‘They tell us, “These people aren’t Romanians.
Judges crack down on EU migrants selling The Big Issue Judges have cracked down on the scandal of poor EU migrants selling The Big Issue as a back door to claiming benefits. Becoming a vendor of the magazine for homeless people allows them to register as self-employed and then pocket taxpayer-funded handouts. But a court has now ruled that a Romanian woman who used the magazine to access tens of thousands of pounds of in-work benefits should have them stopped. By selling copies of the magazine worth £50 each week, she was able to claim £150 a week of taxpayers’ money in tax credits and housing benefit. In a key judgment, a court has said that the woman earned too little to claim her work was ‘genuine and effective’ – thus cutting off her eligibility to UK handouts. Her case came to light after she challenged a decision by HM Revenue & Customs to reject her application to begin accessing child benefit. By selling copies of the magazine worth £50 each week, she was able to claim £150 a week of taxpayers’ money in tax credits and housing benefit

A Level British Politics - Democracy is held to require the will of the majority to prevail so that decisions reflected the interest of most people - most oeople want immigration stopped but it continies, we are not in a democracy Elections are seen as an essential requirement for a Democracy. Democracy can be defined, from its origin as a Greek work, as control of power by the people, but beyond this there has been a debate about what the main elements are. The system of democracy existing in the Western world is generally referred to as Liberal Democracy which has a number of aspects:- - Equality before the law and the safeguarding of basic freedoms of religion, speech and use of one’s property, generally through a Constitution but in Britain, which has no written constitution, there are a range of areas of law that do this, one of which is the Human Rights Act. - Free and fair elections with all those qualified to vote able to take part equally and a range of political parties expressing different views and representing different interests taking part in these elections. One of the biggest problems of democracy is the rights of minorities.
This secretive agenda must be taken seriously Radical Muslims, in their unguarded moments, are unrepentant about what they believe to be their religious duty: the replacement of secular, tolerant and liberal democracy in Britain by a rigid theocracy, in which the country is governed by Islamic law. Those who aspire to that goal are usually, and correctly, dismissed as a tiny minority who are unrepresentative of the moderate majority of British Muslims. But it would be wrong to dismiss the extremists as insignificant. If the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) was open and frank about its aims, voters would be able to make up their own minds about whether they wanted to see its members in any form of government in Britain. In what appeared to be a recognition of the problem posed by infiltration by radical Muslim organisations, Labour has placed its Tower Hamlets branch in "special measures", meaning that it could no longer select its own candidates. It is not too late to prevent the radicals from advancing further.
Ebola: Who created this terrible virus and why? | Pambazuka News The latest success story about Ebola coming out of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is that the DRC has completely eradicated the Ebola epidemic which broke out in the Djera region by relying only on the experience of its own medical practioners (79 people died). DRC has experienced Ebola seven times. Historically, the Ebola type of virus first broke out in Germany - that is why it is called Marburg Virus - then in Reston in the United States as Prof. Horace Campbell previously wrote in Pambazuka. So Ebola virus did not originate in the DRC (Mobutu who worked for the CIA could have used it for his own political purposes). In addition, top African business leaders, including billionaires Aliko Dangote, Strive Masiyiwa, Patrice Motsepe, in joint collaboration with the African Union, the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), have established an emergency fund to help countries hit by the Ebola outbreak.
