De culture facile et reconnu pour ses différentes vertus, l’ail est un indispensable au potager.
L’ail se conserve très bien dans les pièces les plus chaudes de la maison. Réunis en tresses, ses bulbes constituent toujours une agréable décoration dans les cuisines et salles à manger.
L’ail pousse dans tous les sols pourvu qu’ils soient aérés et non sableux.
Il se contente des reliquats de fumure des cultures précédentes. Une fumure de fond, pourvue en potasse et en soufre mais non azotée, peut néanmoins être profitable.
L’ail est une culture facile d’entretien : si l’on a pris soin d’utiliser des plants certifiés pour éviter les maladies transmises par la semence (virus, pourritures, nématodes), il nécessite rarement des traitements.
Apprécié depuis la plus haute antiquité, l’ail a toujours été
utilisé pour ses vertus aromatiques et nutritives : chez les Grecs et les Romains, il était utilisé pour soutenir les forces des moissonneurs et des athlètes.
Utilisé pour parfumer les plats, l’ail stimule l’appétit et favorise la digestion.
Lors de la grande peste de Marseille en 1726, quatre voleurs mirent au point une solution antiseptique les garantissant de la contagion. Ainsi protégés, les larrons pillaient les demeures des malheureux pestiférés.
La vie sauve leur fut promise contre la « recette » de ce médicament miracle : une base d’ail macérée dans du vinaigre et quantités d’autres plantes : rue, petite et grande absinthe etc.
I wish that the winds of March could blow this world-wide contagion away. This photo was taken in March, 2018 on a very windy, sunny day as I admired the view from Ediz Hook of Port Angeles into the Olympic Mountains in Washington state. The world seemed safe then compared to now.
I wish all my Flickr friends good health - stay safe as we wait for this horrible pandemic to run its course and I pray for a cure!! As always, many thanks for your inspiration and visits!
"It was one of those days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." ~ Charles Dickens
"My father was often impatient during March, waiting for the winter to end, the cold to ease, the sun to reappear. March was an unpredictable month, when it was never clear what might happen. Warm days raised hopes until ice and grey skies shut over the town again." ~ Tracy Chevalier
LOCK-DOWN
In many ways it seems that LOCKDOWN has not totally passed by although we are still getting our boosters, for those that are in bad health or over 75. Currently in the GB (14-07-2022) there are over 2.7 million people with Covid, so contagion fully in check.
These following images were taken at a time when full lockdown was in place and things were very different. However this is the last of the postings.

Stay strong. Stay safe.
And let's keep building a world
founded on kindness and compassion,
a world where we recognize
that everyone has something important to share,
a world where everyone does make a difference!
Keep shining bright, my friends.

At the Christmas Market near Vienna City Hall
All Vienna Christmas markets have strict access rules: Only fully vaccinated and recovered people are allowed in, and the relevant proofs are closely checked at the entrances. I think that's absolutely right.
I wish you all a happy Christmas holiday without contagion! Take care of yourselves and your loved ones!
When you've once set foot on the other side
and you can still go back
your foot will never tread the same way again
and little by little you will learn to be on one side and then on the other
It is a learning that later does not want to resign
to that everything else learned, especially love,
learn to do the same.
The other side is the biggest contagion.
Even the eyes themselves change color
and they acquire the transparent tone of fables.

Le Paradis, Ambiance Hideaway (66, 95, 24) - Adulto
L’Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon, transformé puis reconstruit, est le seul établissement lyonnais qui resta en activité jusqu’à nos jours. Au début du XXIe siècle, l’entretien des bâtiments s’avère trop lourd pour l’organisme en charge de l’hôpital qui, de plus, devient inadapté à l’exercice de la médecine moderne. Les services sont donc transférés dans d’autres hôpitaux du grand Lyon. Le site est fermé et en attente de reconversion. Un projet ambitieux a été retenu et les travaux ont débuté .
L’origine des premiers hôtels-Dieu demeure incertaine. Ayant tout d’abord une fonction hospitalière, ils accueillaient également les pèlerins et voyageurs. Contrôlés par les évêques, ces établissements s’occupaient plus des âmes que des corps, ce qui explique que la salle commune était plus souvent une chapelle ou donnait sur une chapelle pour permettre aux malades d’assister aux offices. Il est vrai qu’à cette époque et jusqu’au XIVe siècle où apparaissent les médecins, on avait peu de moyens de soigner les maladies et les épidémies. On se contentait de faire des saignées, ou d’administrer des sirops ou autres drogues. Situés au cœur des villes, ces hôpitaux étaient des foyers d’infection et de contagion, les malades étant souvent trois voire même quatre par lit !

Life before Covid in Vancouver. This is an ad that promotes the idea of freedom but I think we must always think about the power in words in the propaganda forced upon us. Often times, governments ask us to "fight for freedom" in a way that takes away the freedom (and lives) of others for example. And, even now, people think their "freedom" to not have to wear a mask is more important than another person's life.
But, it did seem like we had the ability to walk down the street without masks and worries back then having conversations with people without having to worry if they had been exposed too. We didn't have to worry about appropriate social distancing and our conversations didn't revolve around the disease process and contagions. Those were good days....seems crazy to me that this was taken just a little over a year ago.

XL
He has outsoar'd the shadow of our night;
Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
And that unrest which men miscall delight,
Can touch him not and torture not again;
From the contagion of the world's slow stain
He is secure, and now can never mourn
A heart grown cold, a head grown gray in vain;
Nor, when the spirit's self has ceas'd to burn,
With sparkless ashes load an unlamented urn.
XLI
He lives, he wakes—'tis Death is dead, not he;
Mourn not for Adonais. Thou young Dawn,
Turn all thy dew to splendour, for from thee
The spirit thou lamentest is not gone;
Ye caverns and ye forests, cease to moan!
Cease, ye faint flowers and fountains, and thou Air,
Which like a mourning veil thy scarf hadst thrown
O'er the abandon'd Earth, now leave it bare
Even to the joyous stars which smile on its despair!
Adonis by Shelley

This is the unadulterated .jpg straight out of the camera. Only the orientation has been changed.
A view of the carriage house that sits behind (to the west of) the James Millikin House mansion. The carriage house proper is a symmetrical structure made of the same red brick as the mansion and forming a stylistic entity with it. A one story addition along the west wall (seen here on the right) of the carriage house was added at some point and is matched to the original structure by use of identical materials, window treatment and decorative motifs.
The James Millikin House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 3, 1974. In 1979, the James Millikin Homestead was created to restore and preserve the interior of this Decatur landmark. Today the mansion is open for tours, and the mansion and grounds are open for special events.
Decatur is the seat of Macon County. The city was founded in 1829 and is situated along the Sangamon River and Lake Decatur in central Illinois. Decatur has an economy based on industrial and agricultural commodity processing and production. The city is home of private Millikin University and public Richland Community College.
Decatur's estimated population for 2019 was 70,746, making Decatur the thirteenth-most populous city in Illinois, and the state's sixth-most populous city outside the Chicago metropolitan area.

Decisions are being made that are not based on science but are instead, politically motivated. Stay safe my Flickr friends.

Lamborghini Countach 5000 at Greenwich Concurs show 2021
Design and development:
The development of the Countach was initiated by Ferruccio Lamborghini with the goal of creating a successor to the Miura. The Miura was widely acclaimed after its introduction in 1966, but by 1970 new competitors including the Ferrari Daytona had been introduced to the market, and the Miura was showing its age. Chief engineer Paolo Stanzani and his staff began work on the Miura successor in 1970 under the project name "LP112." From the beginning of the project, Stanzani's collaborators included test driver Bob Wallace, assistant engineer Massimo Parenti and designer Marcello Gandini of Bertone.
Stanzani and Ferruccio Lamborghini agreed that the Miura's successor required a mechanical design that enabled the greatest possible performance as well as a body that was both aerodynamically efficient and aesthetically daring. These principles had formed the Miura's development and enabled the commercial success of that model. Despite Mr. Lamborghini's preference for comfortable grand tourers, he recognized the commercial value of a more uncompromising sports car like the Miura and gave Stanzani's team permission to further push boundaries with the LP112 project. The resulting Countach incorporated successful aspects of the Miura, such as the rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive layout along with many new engineering and styling innovations. Lamborghini's engineering team addressed several flaws in the Miura design, improving high-speed stability and reducing lift-off oversteer as well as addressing the limited maintenance access, uneven weight distribution and cooling issues endemic to the Miura's transverse engine layout.
After a year of intensive development work, the first Countach prototype, designated LP500, was shown to the public at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Subsequently, the Lamborghini engineering team spent three years refining this radical prototype into the production-ready LP400 Countach, which debuted in 1974.
Name
The Countach name originated in late 1970 or 1971, near the beginning of the LP112 project. Most previous and subsequent Lamborghini car names are associated with famous bulls and bullfighting, but the Countach broke with this tradition. The name originated from the word contacc (pronounced [kʊŋˈtɑtʃ]), an exclamation of astonishment in the Piedmontese language.
Marcello Gandini, the designer of the Countach, explained the origin of the name:
When we made cars for the car shows, we worked at night and we were all tired, so we would joke around to keep our morale up. There was a profiler working with us who made the locks. He was two meters tall with two enormous hands, and he performed all the little jobs. He spoke almost only Piedmontese, didn’t even speak Italian. Piedmontese is much different from Italian and sounds like French. One of his most frequent exclamations was ‘countach’, which literally means plague, contagion, and is actually used more to express amazement or even admiration, like ‘goodness’. He had this habit.
When we were working at night, to keep our morale up, there was a jousting spirit, so I said we could call it Countach, just as a joke, to say an exaggerated quip, without any conviction. There nearby was Bob Wallace, who assembled the mechanics—we always made the cars operational. At that time you could even roll into the car shows with the car running, which was marvelous.
So jokingly I asked Bob Wallace how it sounded to an Anglo-Saxon ear. He said it in his own way, strangely. It worked. We immediately came up with the writing and stuck it on. But maybe the real suggestion was the idea of one of my co-workers, a young man who said let’s call it that. That is how the name was coined. This is the only true story behind this word.
— Marcello Gandini, Not Just Bulls: the Creator Tells Us the Story Behind the Name Countach
Lamborghini used a system of alphanumeric designations in order to further delineate Countach models. This designation begins with "LP", an abbreviation of the Italian "longitudinale posteriore," meaning "longitudinal rear." This refers to the engine orientation and placement shared by all Countach models. For the prototype and early production models, "LP" was followed by a three digit number designating nominal engine displacement, "400" for 3.9-litre engines and "500" for 4.8 and 5-litre engines. Therefore, the full name of the first production Countach was the Lamborghini Countach LP400. As in the Miura, the letter "S" (short for Sport) was added for later high performance variants. This naming scheme was disrupted by the 1985 LP5000 Quattrovalvole equipped with a 5.2-litre engine, also called the 5000QV. The LP- designation was dropped entirely for the 1988 25th Anniversary Edition, also called the Anniversary

This photo was taken on 20 November 2022, before the protests broke out, before sporadic lockdowns were in place all over the city under the regular zero-Covid policy, and while urban life maintained a superficial calm. No one could have imagined that half a month later the Chinese government would, unprepared, suddenly drop all restrictions in a malicious manner to artificially encourage mass contagion in an attempt to achieve the goal of immunisation of the population within two or three months - even though it might not actually be achieved.
