Basil (Ocimum basilicum), also known as Saint Joseph's Wort, is a herb belonging to the mint family Lamiaceae often used as a seasoning in cooking. Basil is native to India and other tropical areas of Asia.

The herb is well known for its use in Italian cuisine - it is a major ingredient in pesto sauce. Basil is also commonly used Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine.

The word Basil derives from the Greek word "basileus", which means "king". The Oxford English Dictionary says that basil may have been used as "some royal unguent, bath, or medicine".

In fact, there are quite a number of different beliefs associated with the herb. The French often refer to the herb as l'herbe royale (the royal herb), and in Jewish folklore basil is thought to give strength while fasting.

Basil is used in traditional Tamil medicine and in ayurvedic medicine, which is a form of alternative traditional medicine in the Indian subcontinent.

There are different types of basil, which differ in taste and smell. Sweet basil (the most commercially available basil used in Italian food) has a strong clove scent because of its high concentration of the chemical agent eugenol. Whereas lime and lemon basil have a strong citrus scent due to their high concentration of limonene.

Spirituality, prayer get greater emphasis in medical care

Posted on by

DALLAS At 83, Carl Smith found himself facing quadruple-bypass surgery and the real possibility that he might not survive.

Within hours on a spring morning, Dr. Mark Pool would temporarily bring Smiths heart to a stop in an attempt to circumvent its blocked passages.

And to help his patient confront the uncertainty, Pool did something unusual in his profession: He prayed with him.

Medicine and religion have both had their day, and they havent always been able to coexist. But as todays medical treatment becomes more holistic, doctors are increasingly taking spirituality into account.

Studies show a majority of patients want their spirituality recognized, and most med schools now have classes related to the topic. In general, the new thinking asks doctors to note their patients spiritual leanings and open doors to expression, especially when life is at risk.

Pool, a highly regarded heart and lung surgeon at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, is fervent about his Baptist faith. For about a year, hes routinely asked patients if theyd like him to pray with them pre-surgery a gesture he says is always appreciated but one that exceeds advocates suggested bounds.

A physician should be open to a patients spirituality but shouldnt push religion on patients, says Nathan Carlin, assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Thats confusing personal and professional roles.

Two decades ago, barely a few med schools offered classes on spirituality. Now, three-fourths of them do.

Medicine has figured out that we ignore the more human sides of health care at our own peril, says Craig Borchardt, interim chair of humanities and medicine at Texas A&M University.

Studies show 60 to 80 percent of patients want their beliefs noted, he says not as affirmation but as a sign that the doctor actually cares. But fewer than 20 percent of doctors bring it up.

'Monks Outside the Walls' Oblates bring monastic spirituality to secular life

Posted on by

Monastic spirituality isn't just for monks anymore.

Just ask one of the Benedictine oblates who meet the second Sunday of each month at St. Bede Abbey in Peru. During the meetings, the members pray together, practice lectio divina or sacred reading of Scripture or spiritual texts and discuss some aspect of monastic spirituality.

After the first year of attending meetings, a candidate makes a public oblation, or offering of oneself, to live the Rule of St. Benedict, the guiding principle behind the St. Bede community, as far as their lives allow it. Oblates reprofess their vows annually and remain committed to one monastery, although they may attend oblate meetings at other monasteries. There are no other requirements made of them.

The interdenominational group boasts a membership of about 100 from across Central Illinois and the Chicago suburbs, with an average of 20 attending the meetings each month. The most recent numbers from the Vatican's website for International Benedictine Oblates from 2008 indicated there were 25,481 oblates in 50 countries, with 42 percent of those in the U.S., and the numbers are growing.

Abbot Philip Davey believes despite the fast pace of today's world, there is a longing deep in every human being to seek out the divine.

"I think ultimately it's what St. Augustine said. 'O Lord, you have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you,' " Davey told The Times. "I think it's probably simply the sense people have and the expectation what they think is going to provide what they need doesn't do it. I think it's what spawns interest in the iPad 5 and the latest this and the latest that."

Brother Nathaniel Grossmann is beginning his third year as oblate director at the Abbey and said the Rule is a summary of the gospel.

"It's a livable expression of the gospel. It's a guide to living according to the gospel the incarnation, passion, death and resurrection of Christ," Grossmann said. "Laypeople have found a great deal of spiritual wisdom in living the gospel in their own vocation as married people, single people, stay-at-home moms or dads. And so they attach themselves to a monastery of men or women. It's a mutual give and take. They receive from us. We receive from them."

Ken Krogulski, of La Salle, attended St. Bede Academy and has been active in the oblate program for more than 20 years. Though he acknowledges some of the language from The Rule of St. Benedict, written 1,500 years ago, is outdated, he still finds meaning in it for the 21st century.

"Laypeople find it has definite benefits in living a secular life," Krogulski said. "That's why we call ourselves 'monks outside the walls.' It's living the rule. It makes a lot of sense to me. It's a good way to live your life. It's been tried and true for quite a few centuries."

Chinese space station to be open to foreigners

Posted on by

Beijing, Sep 20 (IANS) A senior Chinese space scientist Friday said China's space station is expected to be opened to foreign astronauts.

"The space station will offer astronauts from around the world opportunities for research and experimentation," Zhou Jianping, designer-in-chief of China's manned space programme, told Xinhua on the sidelines of an international symposium in Beijing.

China's space station is expected to be completed around 2020.

Representatives from more than 20 countries and international organisations exchanged views on space technology cooperation the five-day symposium that ended Friday.

"The space station will use cutting-edge technologies, such as energy and regeneration technologies," Zhou added.

Zhou said China is willing to exchange and cooperate with other countries in the field after the completion of the space station, in order to achieve peaceful use of space resources and mutual development.

The space station has been designed to accommodate three astronauts who will work in half-year shifts during its operation period, but new capsules can be added as and when required for scientific research.

Private Cygnus Spacecraft Launches on Maiden Space Station Voyage

Cygnus is the second commercial spacecraft to launch toward the space station for NASA. The first private spaceship to visit the ISS was SpaceX's robotic Dragon space capsule

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. An untested commercial spacecraft blasted off on its first trek to the International Space Station today (Sept. 18), kicking off a major demonstration mision for its Virginia-based builders and NASA.

The unmanned Cygnus spacecraft and its Antares rocket soared into orbit with a tremendous roar at 10:58 a.m. EDT (1458 GMT) today from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility here a huge success for the commercial spaceflight company Orbital Sciences Corp., which built both vehicles. The spacecraft is now chasing the space station and is due to arrive early Sunday (Sept. 22), when it will be captured by astronauts using the outpost's robotic arm.

"Antares is the largest rocket that we've ever developed, and this will be the first payload that we've ever developed to rendezvous directly and autonomously of this size," said Frank Culbertson, Orbital's executive vice president. "It's been a long road to get to this point." [See photos of the Cygnus spacecraft's first launch]

The launch was delayed one day due to a technical glitch during the rocket's trip to its seaside pad. But the Wednesday liftoff appeared to go off smoothly, and Cygnus and Antares climbed into a clear blue sky.

During the countdown, NASA had to evacuate four homes around the launch area as a safety precaution in the unlikely chance the Antares rocket exploded during liftoff and blew out their windows.

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Mighty Eagle Improves Autonomous Landing Software with Successful Flight

Posted on by

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - The Mighty Eagle, a NASA robotic prototype lander managed out of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. successfully completed a test flight today as part of a series to help validate software from Moon Express, Inc. The flight also evaluated a new hazard avoidance system designed and developed at the Marshall Center.

Under the terms of a Reimbursable Space Act Agreement signed with Moon Express, the Marshall Center is providing its Mighty Eagle lander test vehicle and engineering team in support of a series of test flights to help validate the company's Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) flight software. Guidance algorithms developed by Moon Express will be integrated into the existing software on-board the Mighty Eagle and used to perform the flight test series. This type of software is designed to tell the vehicle where to go and how to get there. In return, Moon Express is reimbursing NASA Marshall for the cost of providing the test vehicle and technical support.

"We are really excited about this flight series," said Jason Adam, flight manager for the Mighty Eagle. "By utilizing both existing and new resources and expertise, we are not only gathering data about the innovative hazard avoidance system we designed, but at the same time we are helping Moon Express reach their goals and further their program. This is a great example of the types of partnership NASA is looking to strengthen in order to enable commercial companies to explore new places in our solar system."

NASA will use the Mighty Eagle and its larger counterpart, the Project Morpheus prototype lander, to mature the technology needed to develop a new generation of small, smart and versatile robotic landers capable of achieving scientific and exploration goals on the surface of planetary bodies.

"Our partnership with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is key to our goal of landing the world's first commercial spacecraft on the moon," said Moon Express co-founder and CEO Bob Richards. "We have benefitted from NASA's encouragement and support in every step of our growth and development and we look forward to the results of our flight software tests on the Mighty Eagle."

The test series is also evaluating a new hazard avoidance system designed and developed by engineers at the Marshall Center. This avoidance hazard system will search for obstacles or hazards like rocks or boulders so that it can steer the vehicle away from those places. The flight series began August 30 and will run through October.

The Mighty Eagle prototype lander was developed by the Marshall Center and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., for NASA's Planetary Sciences Division, Headquarters Science Mission Directorate. Key partners in this project include the Von Braun Center for Science and Innovation, which includes the Science Applications International Corporation, Dynetics Corp. and Teledyne Brown Engineering Inc., all of Huntsville.
