Ruth Patrick gauged water quality by putting it on a scale.
Ruth Becker, born in British India to American parents, had a younger brother, Richard, who fell ill and upon the advice of physicians the family were encouraged to return to the USA.
In "The Color of Water" by James McBride, Mameh, Ruth's disabled brother, is treated with kindness and respect by the sailors. They see beyond his disability, recognizing his humanity and worth. This positive interaction contrasts with the prejudice and discrimination faced by their family, highlighting themes of compassion and acceptance in the narrative. Mameh's reaction reflects a sense of dignity and appreciation for the sailors' humanity.
In "The Color of Water" by James McBride, Daddy, or Fishel Shilsky, is portrayed as a harsh and abusive figure. He was a Jewish immigrant who ran a grocery store in Suffolk, Virginia, and his oppressive demeanor and strict religious beliefs deeply affected his family. His death is a turning point in the narrative, symbolizing the end of an oppressive era in McBride's life and allowing for new beginnings, particularly for his mother, Ruth.
Ruth Benerito worked at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Southern Regional Research Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was a prominent researcher in the field of cotton chemistry and played a crucial role in developing cotton fabrics that were wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for. Her work significantly impacted the textile industry and contributed to advancements in cotton processing.
"...six measures..." also translates to "...six ephahs...". Trying to figure out how much that is in modern terms is difficult at best. Since there is variation between US and British measurement systems, I was looking for one consistent conversion measurement and chose liters. However, there are at least six different amounts given for a ephah: 7.7 l, 22 l, 33 l, 35 l, 36.44 l, and 40.32 l. These translate to somewhere between 1.31 and 6.87 bushels (US). Assuming barley in those times had approximately the same test weight, that means Ruth carried back somewhere between 63 and 330 pounds. (See the Bible -- Book of Ruth, Ch. 3, Vs. 15-17)Another perspective:If your question refers to Ruth 3, there is no way to know for certain. "Measure" in Ruth 3:15 is a verb, not a noun, so what Ruth was given to carry was "six measured amounts;" probably six armfuls. ("Ephah" in the Modern or New King James is misleading; the word for an ephah is not present in Ruth 3.)
Ruth Patrick gauged water quality by putting it on a scale.
Ruth Patrick gauged water quality by examining the presence and diversity of certain types of organisms, such as diatoms and algae, in the water. These organisms are sensitive to changes in water quality, so their abundance and health can indicate the overall condition of the aquatic ecosystem. Patrick developed biological indicators and methods to assess water quality based on these organisms, pioneering the field of freshwater ecology.
