If any dis­cus­sion of medieval med­i­cine gets going, it’s only a mat­ter of time before some­one brings up leech­es. And it turns out that the cen­tral­i­ty of those squirm­ing blood-suck­ers to the treat­ment of dis­ease in the Mid­dle Ages isn’t much over­stat­ed, at least judg­ing by a look through Curi­ous Cures. A Well­come Research Resources Award-fund­ed project of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Cam­bridge Libraries, it has recent­ly fin­ished con­serv­ing, dig­i­tiz­ing, and mak­ing avail­able online 190 man­u­scripts con­tain­ing more than 7,000 pages of medieval med­ical recipes. These books con­tain a wealth of infor­ma­tion even beyond the text on their pages: a mul­ti-spec­tral…

Lewis or Phil Karlsen, his compromised studio work has less of a moral component and much more to do with what he can get away with in a lowdown, agreeably grotesque and decent-looking package. Whereas the journeymen of yesterday were placed in a studio and asked to make miracles out of whatever was handed to them, the hirelings of the ’90s, music video and commercial directors bumped up to the pros for their style and presumed malleability, have come to the international co-production stage of their careers much…

We are already into August. You know what that means, right? Christmas music is only a short time away! LOL!! I’m so kidding. It is still nice and hot, however, the releases aren’t this week.

Any practicing Catholic will tell you that Pope Leo XIV answers to a higher power, but none would say that higher power is the Internal Revenue Service. Yet, as Tax Notes’ Robert Goulder notes, the Holy Father will likely still need to file income taxes.  This debate highlights the importance of tax simplicity.

Even better would be to eliminate income taxes altogether.  As reported by The Washington Post back in…

Legendary England batter Kevin Pietersen heaped praise on Karun Nair for his composed and gritty knock that kept India alive after a shaky start on Day 1 of the ongoing fifth and final Test against England at The Oval. With India reeling at 153 for 6, Karun Nair walked in under the immense pressure and turned the tide with calm, class, and resilience, and shifted the momentum with a solid unbeaten 52 off 98 deliveries, and that’s where Kevin Pietersen’s behind-the-scenes influence got to be seen. The England bowlers, especially Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue, troubled India early on at…
