Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice thelog that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," and behold, thelog is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take thelog out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Since the mid-1980s, when Indonesia first began to clear its bountiful forests on an industrial scale in favour of lucrative palm-oil plantations, “haze” has become an almost annual occurrence in South-East Asia.

In the Hebrew system thelog (Lev. xiv. 10) corresponds to themina. Since the Hellenistic writers equate the log with the Græco-Romansextarius, whatever these writers say on the relation of thesextarius to other measures applies also to the relation of these measures to thelog. Thelog and thesextarius, however, are not equal in capacity. Thesextarius is estimated at .547 liter, while there is no reason to regard thelog as larger than the Babylonianmina, especially as other references of the Greek metrologists support the assumption that thelog was equal to themina. The fact that in the Old Testament thelog is mentioned only as a fluid measure may be merely accidental, for the dry measures, which are distinguished in all other cases from the liquid measures, also have thelog as their unit. The corresponding dry measure may, however, have been known under a different name.
