Holy Week

Outside in the yard the children were shrieking. The deep cold that had gripped us through Holy Week and Eastertide had lifted, and the sun was out. But— I was saying when there was a scramble of feet on the steps, and Dickon came running into the hall. 

Cidofovir (Fig. 2) has been formally approved for the treatment of CMV retinitis in AIDS patients, where it is administered intravenously at a dose not exceeding 5 mg/kg once weekly during the first two weeks (and every other week thereafter). Cidofovir is also used off label for the treatment of human papilloma virus (HPV) infections (i.e., cutaneous warts, anogenital warts, laryngeal and pharyngeal papilloma), polyomavirus [i.e., progressive (i.e., multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)], adenovirus, herpesvirus, and poxvirus (i.e., molluscum contagiosum) infections, where it can be administered intravenously (at a dose of < 5 mg/kg once weekly or every other week) or topically as a 1% gel or cream (De Clercq and Holy 2005). Especially in immunosuppressed patients (i.e., transplant recipients), local treatment of HPV-associated lesions has often yielded spectacular results (Bonatti etal.2007). 

Fasting was necessary he insisted on weeks without meat. As well, Balsamo purchased and sacrificed nine live cockerels (a magical number, as everyone knew). They had to be black, white, and red three of each color in an expression of natural sympathy with the sparkling jewels of the hoard. He d also insisted they undertake ritual ablutions of the skin, followed by the application of special herbs, balms, unguents, and holy oils. All this he accompanied with chants in a high-pitched voice, like the Arabs when they prayed to Allah. 

As long as Balsamo stayed in Rome, he would be a standing incitement for attempts to escape and for invasions. A week after his sentence, therefore, the Holy Office notified Doria of its intention to move the prisoner to the remote and impregnable fortress of San Leo. Suddenly, the legate was to be in charge of the most infamous and dangerous prisoner in Europe. 

Yes. The foreign couple we re about to see hired him as interpreter and guide, so it is sure as holy writ that he was spying for the Ten. Last week he disappeared. I d like to know if he walked out on them or... 

Effects Lowers blood pressure, tranquilizes mind without causing stupor and ataxia. Effects are delayed for several days to several weeks because reserpine must be converted in the body into secondary substances. Used medicinally to treat insanity and by holy men to produce states of tranquility conducive to meditation. Effects last for several days. 

An unusual characteristic of Meissner fields is that another Meissner field, which oscillates at the same frequency, can enter that field of the first and not perturb it. Each week the High Priests of Melchizedek ventured beyond the veil in the Holy of Holies. There they partook of the Bread of the Presence of God. Then more Bread was set out for the next week before the Ark of the Covenant. 

Chapter 11 showed that Moses then commanded Bezaleel, the Son of Light who built the Ark of the Covenant, to prepare the Bread of Life or Bread of the Presence of God. The Melchizedek Priests set this Bread on a golden table in front of the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. Once a week they ate the Bread of the Presence of God and more was set in place. 

In male rats orally administered 250 mg/kg of a benzene extract of holy basil daily for 48 days, a decrease in total sperm count, sperm motility, and forward velocity were observed along with an increase in abnormal sperm in caudal epididymal fluid. All parameters returned to normal within 2 weeks after cessation of treatment (Ahmed et al. 2002). In a related study with the same treatment regimen, changes in cells of the cauda epididymis were observed. After a fertility performance test, no implantations were observed in female rats mated with treated males (Ahmed et al. 2009). 

A prolongation of the diestrus phase of the estrus cycle was observed in female rats orally administered 80 mg of fresh holy basil (average animal weight 200 g) daily for 2 weeks. In this study, effects were measured by observing reproductive behavior, and no hormone levels were measured (Sardessai et al. 1999).
