Farming Human Clones

January 31st 2008

If someone wanted to farm future clones they would need many things. They would need to also consider the time commitment for the future and weigh the costs for those 16-years of conditioning. A military of a country might decide to do this, as it would make their elite forces almost uncanny in cooperative ability and effectiveness. The sixteen-year investment is of course the real issue, it therefore becomes all about ROI and economics. The economics of cloning and human life, which most Americans have a problem with in discussing, I suppose you may too as I too have to question the dialogue. We must realize that such discussion is necessary even if somewhat unpleasant.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a clone offspring? Well if your answer is no, you are not being truthful with yourself and will have to re-evaluate this answer before further reading here. If you say yes, which makes sense because after self-preservation, procreation is in fact the biggest single driver of the species and thankfully so otherwise you may not be here today if anyone of your ancestors had felt any differently. So we know that we have the technology to clone now and that mankind has an innate desire to reproduce and due to the ego of the human mind “Self” we know that it will therefore eventually come to pass as an acceptable method for reproducing human beings, this along with the test tube scenarios means no more regular births in the future. This is somewhat unfortunate for those of us who like sex, because use of such reproductive organs will not be needed. Women will appreciate the forgoing of the perils of nine months as it has been said in history by ruling women that it is better to die three times in battle than to give birth to one child. Ouch. Perhaps mankind will continue to practice but only reproduce as needed through cloning and test tubes?

You can see the issues involved in the cloning debate, which go much deeper than religion; the real debate has to do with evolutions process of a self-replicating organic machine, human beings, and the future of science and the species. Think about it.

Is it Antique and is it Worth Anything

January 30th 2008

Is it an antique and is it worth anything?
Would you know?

At some point in our lives most of us are going to put in a position where we have to ask ourselves the question-
Which of my treasured possesions should I keep because they might be worth something and which can I throw away?

Would you know??

We start our own homes full of enthusiasm and with all the lovely clutter that makes up our lives and that of the family, but as time goes on, the children leave home, we decide to move to a smaller house or maybe we decide to live abroad. At that stage we have to decide what to keep and what to part with.

As an antique dealer for many years I’m often invited into homes to assist customers with just that question - or with a cry for HELP!!

Well, we all have items we wouldn’t part with for a million pounds, precious bits and pieces passed down from parents and little presents from partners, children and grandchildren. Then there’s the layer of semi-precious items that, to make a bit more room, we could part with. Put these to one side and we’ll come back to them later - our second best treasures.

But the ‘cupboard fillers’ are quite a different matter! How many teas services, lace cloths and glasses do we need? In fact, be really honest, when was the last time you set the table with a starched cloth and all the cutlery amd glassware matching?

Call me a slut, but I usually serve friends with tea in china beakers. Wine is poured into glasses that are dish-washer friendly and the crockery and cutlery is an interesting ……….. mish-mash. It’s the company and stimulating converstion that’s important I tell myself.

So what should we keep and what should we part with? We’ve carefully put our special treasures to one side and now we must invite the children in to look through the ’second best’ treasures.

Make sure they have a chance to refuse any bits you’re thinking of parting with. An old scruffy chair to your way of thinking might be a favourite to them and the comfy setting for many a bedtime story.

On a personal note after my mum died, my sister and I were clearing her things and we found an enamelled dish of little value. Ir was put on one side to give to the charity shop when my son asked if he could have ‘the money dish’. “Which money dish” I asked. “The one that gran always kept the pound coins in to give us when we visited”. Luckily the ‘money dish’ was passed on to a very happy grandson.

So now the children, and possibly the grandchildren, have had their pick. Time to decide what to do with the rest. Space might determine how thorough the pruning must be, but it’s worth knowing what you could sell and what you may have to give away.

Even antiques come and go ‘in fashion’. At the moment the style is minimalist. One carefully placed figurine, one item of polished glassware, not the over-the-top, not an inch of wall showing, style of the Victorians!

Anything that needs polishing, ie, copper, brass, silver and silver plated items are unpopular especially with the younger generation who manage to juggle a full-on family/working life. Equally, if it won’t go in the dishwasher, it’s a bit of a no-no!

So we’re narrowing the field of what we can easily sell.

Small, exquisite, exciting little pieces are desirable. It’s easy to get good prices for antique sewing items, silver thimbles, old needle holders, silk winders, buttons, even wooden cotton reels and pin cushions.

Another highly collectable area is - drinking! Old cork screws, bottle openers, wine and spirit labels, champagne taps, spirit measures and the pub water jugs for serving up with a glass of whisky.

Check through your drawers for old fountain pens and pencils and boys will be boys so hang on to any sporting memorabilia. Would you believe that a feather filled golf ball fetched
