North and South

Author: Elizabeth Gaskell

First published: 1855

Pages: 544

Rating: ★★★☆☆

How long did it take: 5 days

I suppose my expectations were just way too high and so this did not make it among my favourite books, but I enjoyed it as long as it lasted (except for few chapters which were frankly wearing me out) and I was not a particular fan of the simplicity of the plot (it just took too long). Still, I am glad I have read it.

The Arrival

Author: Shaun Tan

First published: 2007

Pages: 132

Rating: ★★★★★

How long did it take: 30 minutes

There are no words written in this book, but the story it tells is extremely rich, poignant and powerful. The drawings are magnificent, capturing a wild fantasy of the author as well as emotions like confusion, oppressive fear, flickering hope and eventually unbridled joy. Beautiful piece of art.

The Return of the King

Author: J.R.R. Tolkien

First published: 1955

Pages: 436

Rating: ★★★★★

Tilly and the Map of Stories

Author: Anna James

First published: 2020

Pages: 448

Rating: ★★★★★

How long did it take: 4 days

What a wonderful ending to a wonderful story. Definitely a book for any child to read, to love and grow with.

The World That We Knew

Author: Alice Hoffman

First published: 2019

Pages: 400

Rating: ★★★★★

How long did it take: 3 days

Just like a beautiful tree, this books seems a little sapling that grows and grows until it becomes intricate, touching, honest and emotionally raw, yet curiously quiet in its mood, web of stories that all look at what it mean to live like a human being. Too many stories set during WW2 rely on shock-value, on clichés and the more you have read the less impact they tend to have. Alice Hoffman, however, manages to bring something new and rather than on horror focuses on what little beauty and wonder the people living back then could perhaps find around them, even at those worst of times. It is bittersweet and moving and at no point does it feel like emotional blackmail of the reader. Thinking about it, this book gave me everything The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah failed to give.

Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France

Author: Leonie Frieda

First published: 2002

Pages: 464

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: 28 days

Fascinating woman for whom I still have little sympathy, even after understanding her childhood traumas, her personal humiliation and dedication to her children. This book is well-researched, but sometimes the mess of the 16th century France gets simply too much to read. I had to take long breaks to get through some of the chapters.

Egg and Spoon

Author: Gregory Macquire

First published: 2014

Pages: 496

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: 5 days

This book was a surprise to me. I picked it up because I am a sucker for anything Russian history and folklore related and even though the beginning seemed a little too slow and (as I mistakenly thought) headed into a very simplistic direction, however, the pace took up speed and it all became a wild whirlwind of imagination, humour and delight. Perhaps this could be classified as one of those rare "middle-grade books for adults" because I believe a reader of any age might find enough to engage with in it. I enjoyed this immensely.

The Midnight Library

Author: Matt Haig

First published: 2020

Pages: 288

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: 2 days

This is a very nice book that I could relate to in many ways and so some of its points and statements hit really, really close to home. It is one of those books that you can simply pick up and its uncomplicated narrative can relax your mind and make you appreciate your life - or at least parts of it. It felt warm and cosy and I enjoyed my reading experience. Why not 5 stars then? The writing style is too simplistic for my taste and there is something about contemporary novels which simply does not interest me. So anything in contemporary setting neds to be super exceptional in all of the other ways. This was not exceptional. But it was nice all the same. P.S. I finally feel the desire to read Walden after this.

All My Friends Are Still Dead

Author: Avery Monsen

First published: 2012

Pages: 108

Rating: ★★★☆☆

How long did it take: 5 minutes

Do you have absolutely nothing to do? Why not thumb through this one? It may make you smile a little.

The Crystal Bible: A Definitive Guide to Crystals

Author: Judy Hall

First published: 2003

Pages: 400

Rating: ★★★★☆

How long did it take: x

I have not read this book from start to finish - I don´t even think that is how it should be read - but I have looked up pretty much every crystal I own. It is a lovely volume and I think that even if you do not believe in crystals as a means of healing, you can appreciate it simply for what the stones can symbolize.

Christmas at Thompson Hall and Other Christmas Stories

Edited by: Anthony Trollope

First published: 1882

Pages: 207

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

How long did it take: 3 days

While the first story in this small collection is mildly amusing, the rest, unfortunately, seemed completely pointless. I failed to see any humour or wit in them, and what more: there was nothing that would evoke Christmas atmosphere in them. It was just... so boring.

The Toymakers

Author: Robert Dinsdale

First published: 2018

Pages: 468

Rating: ★★★☆☆

How long did it take: 23 days

I picked up this book thinking it would put me into a Christmas mood and instead it gave me depression. It is also, way too long, often times I felt like it would never end. That said the imagination of the author is wonderful, his writing sensitive and his choice of topics very interesting. Expect a lot of SLOW family tragedy rather than something uplifting (though it has its moments). Man... I just feel tired now....|

Jesus, I need to listen to this show again.

The guest (Noel Casler) worked up close with the impeached domestic terrorist on the Apprentice show. Apparently, Mark Burnett went to Russia and wanted to do a reality show over there. The Russians told him to go back to America and make the terrorist a reality star instead.

As Nancy Pelosi once said publicly, when it comes to t*ump, all roads lead back to putin.

#death to the trump reign of terror on America's democracy

Hubble\u2019s modern art

A piece of art? A time-lapse photo? A flickering light show?

At first glance, this image looks nothing like the images that we are used to seeing from Hubble.

The distinctive splashes of colour must surely be a piece of modern art, or an example of the photographic technique of "light painting". Or, could they be the trademark tracks of electrically charged particles in a bubble chamber? On a space theme, how about a time-lapse of the paths of orbiting satellites?

The answer? None of the above. In fact, this is a genuine frame that Hubble relayed back from an observing session.

Hubble uses a Fine Guidance System (FGS) in order to maintain stability whilst performing observations. A set of gyroscopes measures the attitude of the telescope, which is then corrected by a set of reaction wheels. In order to compensate for gyroscopic drift, the FGS locks onto a fixed point in space, which is referred to as a guide star.

It is suspected that in this case, Hubble had locked onto a bad guide star, potentially a double star or binary. This caused an error in the tracking system, resulting in this remarkable picture of brightly coloured stellar streaks. The prominent red streaks are from stars in the globular cluster NGC 288. It seems that even when Hubble makes a mistake, it can still kick-start our imagination.

A version of this image was entered into the Hubble's Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestant Judy Schmidt.

265-396

265. 우리 주방에는 후추와 소금, 겨자, 케첩 그리고 다른 조미료를 두는 선반이 있다. There is a shelf in our kitchen for pepper, salt, mustard, catsup, and other condiments. 266. 도보여행자들은 너무 배가 고파서 음식이 나오자마자 게걸스럽게 먹었다. The hikers were so hungry that they devoured the food as fast as it was served. 267. 야생 버섯은 먹을 수 있게 보여도 절대 먹지 마라. 독이 있을 지도 모른다. Never eat wild mushrooms, even though they look edible. They may be poisonous. 268. 안드레이는 2인분을 먹었다. 대식가로 보이는 것이 싫지만 않았으면 3인분이라도 먹었을 것이다. Andrea had a second helping and would have taken a third except that she didn’t want to be considered a glutton. 269. 그는 힘든 일도 기꺼이 하려는 사람이다. He is a glutton for punishment. 270. 잘 익은 수박은 아주 맛있다. 모두가 한 조각 더 먹고 싶어할 것이다. Ripe watermelon is luscious. Everyone will want a second slice. 271. 주 요리가 맛이 별로 없었지만 나는 조미료를 쳐서 더 맛있게 만들었다. The main dish had little flavor, but I made it more palatable by adding condiments. 272. 무더운 날 오후에는 사람들이 갈증을 풀기 위해 수돗가에 길게 줄서서 기다린다. On a sultry afternoon, there is a long line of people at the drinking fountain, waiting to slake their thirst. 273. 스테이크를 오븐 속에 더 두면 퍽퍽해질 거에요. 육즙이 많은 것을 원하면 지금 꺼내세요. The steak will be dry if you leave it in the oven longer. Take it out now if you want it to be succulent. 274. 체스터는 아침식사를 거르면 점심시간에 게걸스럽게 먹는다. If Chester skips breakfast, he is voracious by lunchtime. 275. 그 경기는 6만 명 이상을 수용할 수 있는 거대한 경기장에서 열렸다. The game was played in a colossal sports arena with a seating capacity of more than 60,000. 276. 통로와 계단이 넓기 때문에 그 장비를 들여오기는 쉬울 것이다. It will be easy to move in the equipment because the halls and stairways are commodious. 277. 처음에 나는 아주 잘 했다고 생각했고, 그 다음에는 잘했다고, 그리고 마지막에는 서툴게 했다고 생각했다. 나는 자신감에서 절망감까지 온갖 감정을 다 맛보았다. First I thought I had done very well, then well, and finally poorly. I ran the gamut from confidence to despair. 278. 우리는 우주가 유한한지 무한한지 모른다. We do not know whether space is bounded or infinite. 279. 이 수프에 소금이 들어있다고 해도 틀림없이 아주 조금일 것이다. 소금 맛을 느낄 수 없다. If there is any salt in this soup, it must be infinitesimal. I can’t taste it. 280. 타이어 하나가 바람이 빠져서 우리는 바람을 넣기 위해 주유소에 들렀다. Since one of the tires had lost air, we stopped at a gas station to inflate it. 281. 단 것을 지나치게 많이 먹으면 살이 찌기 쉽다. If you eat an inordinate amount of sweets, you are likely to gain weight. 282. 내가 경고했음에도 불구하고 네가 같은 실수를 다시 저지른다면 나는 너를 조금도 봐주지 않을 것이다. If you make the same mistake again, despite all my warnings, I will not have one iota of sympathy for you. 283. 800명의 직원을 감독하는 일은 아주 중요한 임무이다. To supervise eight hundred employees is a responsibility of considerable magnitude. 284. 공부를 할 때는 사소한 것들에 너무 많은 시간을 보내지 말고 정말로 중요한 것들에 집중해라. In studying, don’t spend too much time on picayune details. Concentrate on the really important matters. 285. 그렇게 낮은 급료로는 그 일에 지원할 사람이 거의 없을 것이다. 누가 낮은 임금을 받고 일하기를 원하겠는가? At those low wages, few will apply for the job. Who wants to work for a pittance? 286. 그 마천루 때문에 주위의 건물들이 작아 보인다. 그 고층건물에 비하면 그것들은 하찮은 것 같다. The skyscraper dwarfs the surrounding buildings. By comparison to it, they seem puny. 287. 로날드의 위원회는 더 이상 어떤 도움도 필요없다. 그를 도와주는 사람은 넘쳐난다. Ronald’s committee doesn’t need any more assistance. He has a superabundance of helpers. 288. 그 환자는 열병으로 너무 쇠약해져서 일어나 앉아 있을 힘도 없었다. The fever had so debilitated the patient that she lacked the strength to sit up. 289. 기업들이 옮겨 가면 번창하던 도시는 갑자기 쇠퇴할지 모른다. When industry moves away, a flourishing town may quickly become decadent. 290. 빌리 도즈는 노쇠하여 막 쓰러질 것 같아 보이는 말을 타고 영국군 앞을 지나갔다. Billy Dawes rode past the redcoats on a horse that looked decrepit and about to collapse. 291. 길 위쪽에는 일부가 부서진 채 버려진 농가 한 채와 그 근처에 그보다 훨씬 더 낡은 헛간이 하나 있었다. Up the road was an abandoned farmhouse, partially in ruins, and near it a barn, even more dilapidated. 292. 극심한 더위 때문에 기운이 빠져서 우리는 기운을 차릴 때까지 나무 그늘에서 쉬어야 했다. The extreme heat had enervated us. We had to rest under a shady tree until our strength was restored. 293. 주디는 대수학을 잘 하지만, 나는 그 과목에 대한 이해가 아주 부족하다. Judy understands algebra well, but I have only a flimsy grasp of the subject. 294. 등산은 허약한 사람이 아닌 건강한 사람을 위한 운동이다. Mountain climbing is for the robust, not the frail. 295. 루스는 오늘 결석할 것이다. 인후염 때문에 정상적인 생활을 할 수가 없다. Ruth will be absent today. A sore throat has incapacitated her. 296. 병원을 나설 때만 해도 존은 너무 약해서 걷지도 못할 것처럼 느꼈으나, 곧 이 병약함을 극복했다. On leaving the hospital, John felt almost too weak to walk, but he soon overcame this infirmity. 297. 수 세기 동안 영국 사람들은 해군이 침략을 막아주는 중요한 방패라고 여겼다. For centuries the British regarded their navy as their principal bulwark against invasion. 298. 요새화된 도시인 싱가포르는 한때 정복될 수 없다고 생각되었다. 그러나 1942년 이 아성은 일본군에 의해 함락되었다. The fortified city of Singapore was once considered unconquerable. In 1942, however, this citadel fell to the Japanese. 299. 임금 인상 요구는 설득력 있는 이유가 뒷받침된다면 성공할 가능성이 더 높다. A request for a raise is more likely to succeed if supported with cogent reasons. 300. 오드리는 단호하고 적극적으로 우리를 대변해 준다. 그녀는 매우 박력 있게 연설을 한다. Audrey represents us forcefully and energetically. She is a dynamic speaker. 301. 그 등반가들은 정상이 엄청나게 높은 것을 보자 숨이 막혔다. The climbers gasped when they caught sight of the formidable peak. 302. 나는 작문은 잭보다 잘하지만 수학은 그렇지 않다. 수학은 그의 강점이다. I am better than Jack in writing but not in math; that is his forte. 303. 제 2차 세계대전 이전 프랑스 사람들은 마지노선 방어 시설을 독일의 침략을 막는 난공불락의 요새라고 생각했다. Before World War Ⅱ, the French regarded their Maginot Line fortifications as an impregnable bulwark against a German invasion. 304. 더위 때문에 기운이 없어지는 것 같다면 시원한 바다에서 수영을 해 보세요. 기운이 날 거예요. If you feel enervated by the heat, try a swim in the cool ocean. It will invigorate you. 305. 그 인명구조원은 체격 조건이 아주 좋았다. 나는 그보다 더 건장한 사람을 본적이 없었다. The lifeguard was in excellent physical condition. I had never seen anyone more robust. 306. 개가 공을 물어가자 나는 그 꽉 다문 (집요한, 완강한) 턱에서 공을 빼내려고 했지만 불가능했다. After the dog got the ball, I tried to dislodge it from her tenacious jaws, but I couldn’t. 307. 당신의 항의는 너무 약했어요. 좀 더 강했다면 감독이 귀를 기울였을 지도 몰라요. Your protest was too mild. If it had been more vehement, the supervisor might have paid attention to it. 308. 그 건장한 젊은 투수는 7회까지는 대단히 활기차게 경기를 했지만 8회에 가서는 힘이 부쳐 그 경기에서 빠졌다. The robust young pitcher performed with extraordinary vigor for seven innings, but weakened in the eighth and was removed from the game. 309. 로열즈 팀은 오후 4시까지 출장해야 한다. 만일 나오지 않으면, 결장으로 경기에 지게 된다. The Royals must be on the playing field by 4 p.m. If they do not appear, they will lose the game by default. 310. 기상청의 경고를 무시하고 눈보라 속에서 운전하면 목적지에 못 도착할지도 모른다. If you drive in a blizzard, heedless of the weather bureau’s warnings, you may not reach your destination. 311. 저스틴은 정지 신호를 무시했기 때문에 딱지를 발부받았다. Justin was given a ticket for ignoring a stop sign. 312. 공교롭게도 나는 어마가 있는 자리에서 무심코 그녀의 낙선에 대한 얘기를 꺼냈다. Unfortunately, I made an inadvertent remark in Irma’s presence about her losing the election. 313. 배역을 맡은 회원 대부분은 예행연습 동안 학업을 소홀히 했으나 공연이 끝나고 나서 재빨리 만회했다. Most members of the cast neglected their studies during rehearsals, but after the performance they caught up quickly. 314. 차를 도난 당한 주인은 소홀하게도 차 안에 열쇠를 남겨 두었다. The owner of the stolen car was remiss in having left the keys in the vehicle. 315. 깔끔하지 못한 사람들만 없다면 점심 먹은 식탁을 치우는 일은 쉽다. Cleanup is easy at our lunch table if there are no slovens. 316. 해리가 여기 있을 때 당신이 우리의 계획에 대하여 아무 말도 하지 않은 것은 신중한 행동이었다. 그는 비밀을 지키지 못한다. You were discreet not to say anything about our plans when Harry was here. He can’t keep a secret. 317. 나는 도로가 미끄럽다는 경고에 주의를 기울이지 않았다가 미끄러졌다. I didn’t heed the warning that the pavements were icy. That’s why I slipped. 318. 계약서에 서명하기 전에 작은 글자 하나까지도 주의 깊게 읽어라. 사소한 일에 지나치게 주의하는 것이 이런 경우에는 도움이 된다. Before signing a contract, read it carefully, including the fine print. This is one case where it pays to be meticulous. 319. 우리 교수님은 옛 제자 중 두 사람이 참가자이기 때문에 심사위원이 되는 것을 사양하신다. 그 분은 아주 양심적이다. My instructor refuses to be a judge because two of her former students are contestants. She is very scrupulous. 320. 수위는 하비를 들여보내기 전에 그의 통행증을 세밀히 검사했지만 내 것은 대강 보았다. The gatekeeper scrutinized Harvey’s pass before letting him in, but he just glanced at mine. 321. 내 여동생은 대학 합격 통지를 받고 이에 관한 염려를 날려버렸다. My sister’s solicitude over getting into college ended when she received word that she had been accepted. 322. 도둑을 체포한 경비는 철저히 감시한 덕분에 칭찬을 받았다. The security guard who apprehended the thief was praised for vigilance. 323. 브래독 장군은 매복을 경계했었더라면 패배하지 않았을지도 모른다. General Braddock might not have been defeated if he had been wary of an ambush. 324. 한동안 외국 생활을 한 로버트 브라우닝은 고국인 영국이 그리워졌다. After living abroad for a time, Robert Browning became homesick for his native England. 325. 수많은 교외 거주자들이 정기적으로 시내로 통근한다. Large numbers of suburban residents regularly commute to the city. 326. 사파리 여행을 하면서 관광객들은 사자와 표범, 그리고 그 밖의 밀림의 맹수들을 사진에 담았다. On their safari, the tourists photographed lions, leopards, and other ferocious denizens of the jungle. 327. 이사하자마자 쿠퍼 씨 가족은 새 집으로 우리를 초대했다. Soon after they moved, the Coopers invited us to visit them at their new domicile. 328. 그 교도소장이 부임했을 때에는 교도소에 재소자가 100명도 되지 않았다. When the warden took charge, the prison had fewer than 100 inmates. 329. 청교도들은 영국에서 박해를 받았기 때문에 네덜란드로 이주했다. Because they were persecuted in England, the Puritans migrated to Holland. 330. 겨울에는 많은 유럽의 새들이 좀더 온화한 기후를 찾아 영국 제도로 이동한다. In winter, many European birds migrate to the British Isles in search of a more temperate climate. 331. 타국에서 태어나신 조부모님을 제외하고 그의 가족은 모두 뉴저지 토박이들이다. His entire family are natives of New Jersey except the grandparents who were born abroad. 332. 유목민들은 정해진 거처 없이 식량을 확보하기 위해서 지역을 옮겨 다닌다. Nomads have no fixed homes but move from region to region to secure their food supply. 333. 제럴딘은 집으로 가는 길에 세인트 루이스에 들러 이틀 간 친척 집에 머물 것이다. On her trip home, Geraldine will stop in St. Louis for a two-day sojourn with relatives. 334. 노동조합은 근로자들에게 조업 중지를 요구하면서 법원의 파업 금지령을 거부했다. The union showed defiance of the court order against a strike by calling the workers off their jobs. 335. 운전자가 허가를 받지 않고 장애인 구역에 주차하는 것은 법규 위반이다. Unless the driver has a permit, parking in a handicapped space is an infraction of the law. 336. 각료가 대통령의 지시를 무시했다면 그는 권위에 복종하지 않아 사임을 요구 받았을 것이다. Had the cabinet officer ignored the President’s instructions, he would have been insubordinate and would have been asked to resign. 337. 폭동이 일어나자 정부는 군에 폭도들을 체포하라고 명령했다. When the revolt broke out, the government ordered its troops to arrest the insurgents. 338. 승진 대상에서 제외됐다고 생각하는 몇몇 불평분자들이 파업을 일으켰다. The work stoppage was caused by a few malcontents who felt they had been ignored when promotions were made. 339. 내가 더 가까운 길을 자세히 설명해 주었는데도, 그 삐뚤어진 젊은이는 더 먼 길로 왔다. Though I had carefully explained the shorter route to him, the perverse young man came by the longer way. 340. 제 1차 세계대전 중 우리 정부나 전쟁에 반대하는 연설이나 글을 쓴 1천 500여 명의 사람들이 선동 혐의로 체포되었다. During World War Ⅰ, about 1500 persons who spoke or wrote against our form of government or the war effort were arrested for sedition. 341. 감독은 축구팀에게 엄격한 훈련규정을 내렸으며, 이를 위반한 선수는 누구든 꾸짖었다. The coach imposed strict training rules on the soccer team, and he scolded any player who transgressed. 342. 사람들이 자기 땅에 무단 침입하는 것을 막으려고 주인은 ‘출입 금지’ 푯말을 세웠다. The owner erected a “Keep Off” sign to discourage people from trespassing on her land. 343. 톰이 영화를 보러 가자고 했을 때 나는 달리 할 일이 없을 것 같아서 잠자코 따랐다. When Tom suggested that we go to the movies, I acquiesced because there seemed nothing else to do. 344. 외국인들이 미국 시만이 될 때에는 미합중국에 충성을 맹세해야 한다. When aliens become American citizens, they must pledge allegiance to the United States. 345. 나는 내 답이 옳다고 생각했지만 선생님의 의견을 따랐다. 왜냐하면 선생님은 더 많이 아시기 때문이었다. I thought my answer was correct, but I deferred to the teacher’s opinion because of her superior knowledge. 346. 워커 씨 부부는 아들이 말을 듣지 않는다고 불평해서는 안 된다. 왜냐하면 그들은 그를 훈육하려 하지도 않았기 때문이다. The Walkers should not complain that their son does not obey because they never tried to discipline him. 347. 다이앤은 무엇을 설명하면 주의 깊게 듣는다. 그러나 그녀의 여동생은 훨씬 덜 유순하다. Diane listens when you explain something to her, but her sister is much less docile. 348. 통근자의 3분의 1 가량이 요금 인상에 항의했고 나머지는 불평 없이 묵묵히 따e랐다. About a third of the commuters protested the fare hike. The rest were too meek to complain. 349. 우리는 조의 생각을 바꾸려고 애썼지만 그는 쉽게 굴복하지 않았어요. 아마 당신은 할 수 있을 거예요. We tried to get Joe to change his mind, but he was not pliable. Perhaps you can influence him. 350. 그 도망자는 자신이 결코 생포되지 않을 것이라고 큰소리쳤지만 경찰이 도착하자 저항도 하지 않고 항복했다. Though he had boasted he would never be taken alive, the fugitive submitted without a struggle when the police arrived. 351. 조지 3세는 13개의 식민지가 쉽게 통제될 수 있기를 원했다. George Ⅲ wanted the thirteen colonies to be tractable. 352. 칼의 팔이 쑤시는 것은 새로 생긴 증상이 아니라 고질적인 병이 재발한 것이다. Carl’s sore arm is not a new development but the return of a chronic ailment. 353. 어떤 사람들은 습관적으로 불평을 한다. 그들은 언제나 만족할 줄을 모른다. Some people are chronic complainers. They are always dissatisfied. 354. 파업이 해결되면 아마도 봉급이 인상되고 동시에 물가도 오를 것이다. When the strike is settled, there will probably be an increase in wages and a concurrent increase in prices. 355. 자 이제 가자. 꾸물대다가 저녁식사에 늦겠다. Let’s get going. If we dawdle, we’ll be late for dinner. 356. 갑자기 하늘이 어두워지고 멀리서 천둥소리가 나는 것으로 보아 우리는 곧 비가 오리라는 것을 알 수 있었다. The sudden darkening of the skies and the thunder in the distance apprised us that rain was imminent. 357. 어떤 중병은 초기 단계에 발견되면 성공적으로 치료될 수 있다. Certain serious diseases can be successfully treated if detected in an incipient stage. 358. 소나기가 간헐적으로 내렸다. 햇빛이 구름 사이로 비칠 때도 이따금씩 있었다. The showers were intermittent; there were intervals when the sun broke through the clouds. 359. 전쟁이 현 시대만 괴롭혔다고 생각하지 마라. 전쟁은 끊임없는 재앙이다. Don’t think that war has plagued only modern times. It has been a perennial curse. 360. 금잔화는 한 계절밖에 살지 못하지만 백합과 같은 다년생 식물들은 해마다 핀다. Marigolds last only one season, but perennial plants such as lilies return year after year. 361. 비가 곧 쏟아질 것처럼 보이자 대부분의 소풍객들은 비를 피할 곳을 찾았다. 몇몇 꾸물거리던 사람들은 비에 흠뻑 젖었다. Most of the picnickers took cover when rain seemed imminent. The few that procrastinated got drenched. 362. 우리는 점심시간 동안만 있을 계획이었으나 주인이 고집을 부려 저녁 식사 시간이 지나도록 있었다. We had planned to stay only for lunch but, at our host’s insistence, we protracted our visit until after dinner. 363. 소아마비는 사실상 근절되었지만 간혹 발생해왔다.

Is Macular Degeneration Preventable?

An intriguing presentation about the possible link between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and processed food consumption literally caught my eye. As presented in the featured video, ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe, founder and president of the Cure AMD Foundation, suggests the common assertion macular degeneration is caused by aging or genetics is a mistaken one.

Given the reality macular degeneration has gone from being an extremely rare disorder more than a century ago to one that is found at increasingly alarming rates in developed countries around the world, Knobbe points to higher intakes of processed food — not aging or genetics — as the root cause.

He presented his research findings at the 2018 Ancestral Health Symposium, held in Bozeman, Montana. Knobbe asserts the same people known to consume the most processed food not only develop AMD, but are also more likely to be affected by cancer, heart disease, hypertension, obesity, Type 2 diabetes and stroke.

What Is Macular Degeneration?

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO),1 macular degeneration results when the part of your retina called the macula becomes damaged, causing you to lose your central vision. If you have AMD, you cannot see fine details whether close or far, but your peripheral (side) vision remains normal.

The BrightFocus Foundation defines AMD as "an irreversible destruction of the macula, which leads to loss of the sharp, fine-detail, 'straight ahead' vision required for activities like reading, driving, recognizing faces and seeing the world in color."2

Knobbe notes your macula measures 6 millimeters (mm), or about one-fourth of an inch, across and accounts for the central 10 degrees of your vision. "Arguably, this is the most important 6 mm in our bodies," he asserts.3 About macular degeneration, the AAO says:4

It is a leading cause of vision loss in people 50 years and older

About 80 percent of people with AMD have the dry form, which is characterized by the thinning of parts of your macula, as well as the growth of tiny clumps of protein called drusen, which causes you to slowly lose your central vision

Wet AMD is a less common but more serious form of vision loss because it causes new, abnormal blood vessels to grow under your retina, which may leak blood or other fluids that cause scarring of your macula

Wet AMD accelerates vision loss more quickly than dry AMD

Blurry vision may be the first sign of macular degeneration; regular visits to an ophthalmologist can help you identify early warning signs of the disease

Who Is Affected by Macular Degeneration?

AMD is no respecter of persons. A couple of well-known sufferers of the disease are legendary British actress Dame Judi Dench,5 83, and American actress and comedian Roseanne Barr,6 66, both of whom have spoken publicly of their vision problems.

Sadly, Dench and Barr are not outliers; they're just two of the estimated millions of people worldwide affected by this potentially devastating disease. According to Knobbe and experts at the BrightFocus Foundation, AMD is:7,8

The leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over the age of 65 who live in developed countries

A leading cause of irreversible blindness and visual impairment worldwide — the number of people living with AMD is expected to reach 196 million worldwide by 2020 and increase to 288 million by 2040

Known to affect as many as 11 million people in the U.S., this number is expected to double by 2050

Though Knobbe disagrees, the link between aging and macular degeneration is based on statistics suggesting your risk of contracting the disease increases from 2 percent for people ages 50 to 59 to nearly 30 percent for those age 75 or older.9

The Causes of Macular Degeneration

Traditional ophthalmology associates AMD to aging, hence the name "age-related macular degeneration," and more recently has also suggested genetics may be a contributing factor. The AAO claims you are also more likely to develop AMD if you are:10

Age 50 or older

Eating a diet high in unhealthy fats

Overweight

Caucasian

Known to have a family history of AMD

A smoker

In contrast to conventional wisdom, Knobbe, as discussed in the featured video, believes man-made, processed foods are the primary culprit, although he leaves room for a possible genetic link, too.

His beliefs, which were sustained through a combination of investigative journalism, interviews and research, culminated in the 2016 publication of his book "Cure AMD — Ancestral Dietary Strategy to Prevent & Reverse Macular Degeneration."

In addition, a summary of Knobbe's work was published in the journal Medical Hypotheses in 2017.11 While the lifetime risk of contracting AMD was about zero in 1900, he says, by 1992, it was believed to affect 1 in 3 people over the age of 75.

Today, he claims 20,000 new cases of AMD are diagnosed worldwide every day. Based on his research, Knobbe states, "I believe, 100 percent, that this disease is caused by diet and diet alone. Now, no question, genetics play a role, but environment pulls the trigger. That 'environment' is our diet."

Processed Foods Implicated for Skyrocketing Rates of Macular Degeneration

Based on his research, Knobbe asserts the key to addressing the skyrocketing rates of AMD must focus on decreasing our intake of processed foods and returning to a so-called ancestral diet. This, he notes, may be our best means of preventing, and possibly treating, the disease.

Knobbe defines an ancestral diet as any eating program that existed on the planet prior to 1880, when the first processed foods — namely, refined white flour and polyunsaturated vegetable oils — were made available. Trans fats, he notes, were first introduced in 1911.

After noting the Western diet has more than 600,000 food items you can put on your plate today, Knobbe said, "When we break this down, what we know is 63 percent of these food items are made up of those refined, processed, nutrient-deficient foods in the form of added sugars, refined white flour, polyunsaturated vegetable oils and trans fats."

He calls the dependence on processed foods "the recipe for metabolic disaster and physical degeneration." Drawing from the work of the late Weston A. Price,12 Knobbe calls out the following problematic categories of processed food, which Price referred to as the "displacing foods of modern commerce":

Canned goods

Sugar

Vegetable oils

Confectionary

Sweets

White flour

Macular Degeneration: Another Disease of Western Civilization?

Given the increased use of these so-called modern foods during the past 140 years, Knobbe says it is no surprise higher intakes of them have been linked to what he calls "diseases of Western civilization."

On the list are well-known conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune disorders, cancer, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Knobbe says he had somewhat of an epiphany in 2013 when he posed this question to himself: "Could AMD be another 'disease of Western civilization'?"

After comparing the historical rates of incidence for AMD as it related to the increased availability and consumption of sugar and vegetable oils, Knobbe began to surmise AMD indeed may be linked to the increased consumption of processed food. "After just 30 years of consuming these processed foods, we are at epidemic proportions of chronic disease," he observes.

In Japan, since the 1970s the increased use of vegetable oils has spiked the incidence of AMD. Said Knobbe, "The rate of AMD [in Japan] was at 0.2 percent prevalence in 1970. By 2007, their prevalence was 11.4 percent. That's a 57fold increase in the prevalence of AMD in just 30 years. We can't possibly explain that with genetics and aging."

When comparing rates of AMD in Nigeria, Knobbe noted the availability for processed food in major metropolitan areas as a factor in the 3.2 percent rate of AMD incidence in cities. He contrasted that rate to AMD prevalence among Nigerians living in a rural area where there was no access to processed food. It was just 0.1 percent.

Poverty Linked to Vision Loss; AMD Not a Disease of Aging or Genetics

Using data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Knobbe observed links between poverty and chronic diseases such as the prevalence of severe vision loss, including AMD. Southern states had higher incidence of both poverty and severe vision loss. About the link between the two, Knobbe states:

"Why is poverty an issue? Because in [the U.S.] you can purchase about 2,000 calories worth of processed food for about $3.50. That same 2,000 calories coming from whole foods … costs you about $13 or more. It's a sad fact … but it's a reality."

If AMD is all about aging, we would expect to see that people in the south, where the highest rates of severe vision loss exist, have the longest life spans. However, the data do not bear that out, notes Knobbe.

Life expectancy in the south is actually lower than the national average, he says. "Where we have the greatest vision loss, including the most macular degeneration, we have the shortest lives. This is not consistent with the theory that macular degeneration is a disease of aging."

As such, he concludes, "Macular degeneration is not a disease of aging. It's not a disease of genetics. It is a disease of processed food consumption. And that results in more chronic, metabolic and degenerative disease, more macular degeneration and earlier death." On his Cure AMD Foundation website, Knobbe writes:13

"Every shred of evidence I can find supports the hypothesis that it is the 'displacing foods of modern commerce' that are the primary and proximate cause of AMD. The prevention of this disease — as well as the treatment — is to remove those elements from the diet, and consume only … our own native, traditional diets."

How to Help Prevent Macular Degeneration

Most certainly, eating nutrient-dense foods is the best way to preserve your eyesight. Knobbe recommends a whole food diet as the best antidote to vision problems such as macular degeneration. While a change in diet cannot reverse an established case of AMD, it can be helpful as a preventive measure before the onset of the disease.

Knobbe suggests you eat a diet "rich in meats, fish, eggs, fruit, vegetables, some nuts and seeds, and perhaps critically, some 'sacred' foods of our ancestors, such as beef or chicken liver, fish eggs (roe) … or pastured butter."14 He adds, "My preference is to choose the wild or pastured versions of animal meats and eggs whenever possible, and organic versions of … fruits and vegetables."15

While I agree with most of Knobbe's recommendations, for optimal health you will want to limit your daily fructose consumption, including fructose from whole fruit, to 25 grams (g) or less if you are healthy. If you are dealing with a chronic illness such as cancer or diabetes, you'd be wise to further restrict your fructose intake to 15 g until your condition improves.

Beyond this, animal-based omega-3 fats help improve cell structure and protect your sight, while whole foods high in anthocyanins and bioflavonoids help protect your cells from free radical damage. Lutein and zeaxanthin, potent carotenoid antioxidants found in leafy greens like kale and spinach as well as organic, free-range egg yolks, are also known for their role in promoting healthy vision.

It is believed the presence of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin in your macula blocks blue light from reaching the underlying structures in your retina. As such, they help reduce your risk of light-induced oxidative damage that could lead to macular degeneration.16

Natural antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamins C and E also support your eyes, as does astaxanthin, which is found in certain marine plants and animals, including krill oil. Learn more about the foods your body needs to protect your vision in my previous article "Eat Right to Protect Your Eyesight."

Other Ways to Reduce Your Risk of Macular Degeneration

Beyond your diet, blocking blue light may help reduce your risk for macular degeneration, while also improving your sleep. Below are a few tips on how to limit your exposure to blue light:

Use blue-blocking glasses — Blocking blue light aids in regulating your internal body clock to control sleep patterns. Also, it reduces the negative effect high energy wavelengths have on your macula. I recommend you wear blue light-blocking glasses after 7 p.m. or when the sun sets.

Install blue-blocking software on your digital devices — If you are not a fan of wearing blue blockers, you might want to try Iris, a free software program that can automatically adjust your screen settings to reduce blue light. I have used Iris for many years and highly recommend it.

Replace LED lights with incandescent bulbs — Many of the LED lights sold today emit a large portion of aggressive blue light, which is why I advise you to use incandescent bulbs instead. To learn more about how to protect yourself, read my article "How LED Lighting May Compromise Your Health."

Sleep in total darkness — To achieve a deeper, more restorative sleep, you must protect your eyes from light at night. Using a sleep mask or room-darkening shades are two easy solutions, and be sure to keep electronic devices out of your sleeping area.

While the rates of macular degeneration continue to climb, you can take steps today to reduce your risk of this debilitating eye disease. As Knobbe suggests, eliminating processed food from your diet is among the best preventive measures against macular degeneration.

While conventional medicine may try to convince you AMD and other chronic illnesses are simply a factor of aging or genetics, two areas over which you have little control, the truth is, you are not helpless to affect positive change.

Based on his research, Knobbe concluded the term AMD is a misnomer. Rather than calling the loss of central vision "age-related macular degeneration," he asserts it would be more aptly named "diet-related macular degeneration" or "DMD."17 While aging is not something you can control, you most certainly have some measure of control over your diet and, therefore, your eye health, too.
