American ginseng is famous around the world for the fantastic claims made about its ability to prolong life. Sad to say, it's paid a terrible price for that fame, since greedy collectors ruthlessly harvest it from the forests where it grows. To tell the truth, it won't add one more minute to anybody's life, but it bears the same mistaken mystical medicinal beliefs as rhinoceros horn and shark cartilage.
Southern Nantahala Wilderness, NC
This small flowering beauty is found in rich woods from southeastern Canada south to the mountains of Georgia.
American ginseng root is said to cure every ailment under the sun and possibly even give you eternal life. No wonder it has practically been eliminated from Midwestern woodlands during the last half-century. With luck, those three little red berries will make three new baby ginseng plants next year.
Panax Trifolius
A Native Wildflower.
We felt that this was a miniature version of a regular plant - it was really small, about 3-4 inches high from ground. They grow in moist floodplains along stream banks. It is not a commonly seen wildflower in the area, so it was a great find.
Scott's Run Nature Preserve is a great place in the Washington DC area to view Spring wildflowers.
A white to pink, 5-parted, 1/8 inch flower. The flowers form single round cluster about 1 inch diameter.
Plant height: 4 to 8 inches.
Native
Likes a part shade to shade, rich woods habitat.
Blooms: May - Jun.

Panax è un genere di piante perenni a crescita lenta con le radici carnose, appartenente alla famiglia Araliaceae, comunemente note come Ginseng.
I tempi di crescita del Ginseng sono molto lenti (circa 4 anni per raggiungere 40 cm) . La radice, carnosa e fusiforme, è caratterizzata dall'avere varie forme: drago, bambino e uomo; quest'ultima è considerata la più pregiata.
Ginseng is any one of 11 species of slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, belonging to the genus Panax of the family Araliaceae.
The root was considered to be a symbol of divine harmony and its human shape was highly desirable.
Aralia californica—elk's clover. Grows to 3 meters (10 ft.) tall. Often call spikenard in herbalist literature. A. californica is in the same family as ginseng (American ginseng is Panax quinquefolius ), Aralia californica is often used as a substitute with much the same results (very little, truthfully). American Indians used a concoction as a disinfectant. They also used the leaves as food. Those interested in herbal uses should Google the species. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.

This build is specifically inspired by the novel "Ilse Witch", the first in a trilogy aptly entitled "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara". These books are part of Terry Brook's classic "Shannara" series of novels (some of which were adapted into a popular TV series as well) - this was the series that proved fantasy could be accessible and commercially successful with mainstream audiences after the breakout success of Tolkien's Middle Earth novels. Unlike many other fantasy series, it's set in a world which sees substantial technological and magical innovation over the course of 32 novels and thousands of years.
The Jerle Shannara is the fastest and most advanced airship ever built, and her crew of the Jerle Shannara are voyaging west from the Elven capital city of Arborlon, across the Blue Divide, to the uncharted continent of Parkasia, in search of the lost Blue Elfstones, guided only by a mysterious map washed ashore with a lost prince, their last known user.
The crew have been selected from across the many races of the Four Lands, for their unique talents.
• From Paranor, the Druid's Keep, comes one-armed Walker Boh, the last of the druid order.
• From the Southlands, comes highlander Quentin Leah, heir to the mysterious Sword of Leah, and his childhood friend Bek Rowe.
• From the Eastlands, comes the dwarf woodsman Panax, and the mysterious shapeshifter Truhls Rohk.
• From the Westland elves, come Prince Ahren Elessedil, Captain Ard Patrinell of the Home Guard, the tracker Tamis.
• From the Wing Hove, the elf Hunter Predd and his mighty roc, Obsidian.
• From the Rover communities of the Westlands, the ship's captain Redden "Big Red" Alt Mer, his twin sister Rue "Little Red" Meridian, and the mysterious seer Ryer Ord Star.
The airships of the Four Lands are solar-powered and require active thrust to stay aloft. The sails, called "light sheaths", absorb solar energy, which is channeled through special rigging, the "radian draws", into the parse tubes which house the diapson crystals. It is these crystals which store the solar energy and distribute it through the ship's thrusters.
The Jerle Shannara comes with many play features, making it not only a display piece for adult collectors, but also a fun playset!
• The captain's cabin in the front of the ship has been converted into two smaller cabins with folding bunks to account for the unusual crew. Captain "Big Red" shares the port cabin with Prince Ahren Elessedil, and his sister, "Little Red", shares the starboard cabin with Ryer Ord Star. A privacy curtain separates the two cabins on the aft side of the mast, and sliding panels allow access to a shared washroom in the fore of the cabin.
• A removable platform between the main hull and port pontoon provides landing space for Obsidian to roost between scouting flights.
• Other crew members can wrap themselves in their cloaks and sleep in the pontoons.
• The ship is armed with a complement of ballistae to defend against hostile airships, and the ramps may be lowered to send over a boarding party.
• The galley occupies the center of the ship and features a long table where the crew can dine together, or study their maps and charts.
• The storage room in the aft of the ship has fresh water, food, the armory, and spare parts to make repairs on the long voyage.
• The rope ladder may be raised and lowered to take on supplies and passengers.
• The ship's wheel in the pilot box really controls the thrusters on either side of the ship's rudder, and the capstan hauls up the dual anchors!
• The masts are grippable so crew members can climb up into the rigging.
• Obsidian's wings fold and unfold realistically to move between flying and roosting positions.
Set consists of approximately 2700pcs, including 12 minifigures. The ship is quite spacious and this number of figures does not feel crowded - as you can see from the renderings, they spread out quite nicely.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

• A removable platform between the main hull and port pontoon provides landing space for Obsidian to roost between scouting flights.
• Other crew members can wrap themselves in their cloaks and sleep in the pontoons.
• The ship is armed with a complement of ballistae to defend against hostile airships, and the ramps may be lowered to send over a boarding party.
• The galley occupies the center of the ship and features a long table where the crew can dine together, or study their maps and charts.
• The storage room in the aft of the ship has fresh water, food, the armory, and spare parts to make repairs on the long voyage.
• The rope ladder may be raised and lowered to take on supplies and passengers.
• The ship's wheel in the pilot box really controls the thrusters on either side of the ship's rudder, and the capstan hauls up the dual anchors!
• The masts are grippable so crew members can climb up into the rigging.
• Obsidian's wings fold and unfold realistically to move between flying and roosting positions.
Set consists of approximately 2700pcs, including 12 minifigures. The ship is quite spacious and this number of figures does not feel crowded - as you can see from the renderings, they spread out quite nicely.

Energy drinks are emerging as a public health threat and are increasingly consumed by youth internationally. Energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine, sugar, sodium and novel ingredients like guarana, taurine, and panax ginseng, and are often marketed through youth-oriented media and venues. Existing evidence points to significant public health issues arising from youth consumption of energy drinks......
Aralia californica—elk's clover. Grows to 3 meters (10 ft.) tall. Often call spikenard in herbalist literature. A. californica is in the same family as ginseng (American ginseng is Panax quinquefolius ), Aralia californica is often used as a substitute with much the same results (very little, truthfully). American Indians used a concoction as a disinfectant. They also used the leaves as food. Those interested in herbal uses Those interested in such uses should Google the species. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
Dwarf Ginseng (Panax trifolius). I usually find Dwarf Ginseng west of the Coastal Plain in Maryland. It was nice to see it at the Refuge which is within the Coastal Plain.

This build is specifically inspired by the novel "Ilse Witch", the first in a trilogy aptly entitled "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara". These books are part of Terry Brook's classic "Shannara" series of novels (some of which were adapted into a popular TV series as well) - this was the series that proved fantasy could be accessible and commercially successful with mainstream audiences after the breakout success of Tolkien's Middle Earth novels. Unlike many other fantasy series, it's set in a world which sees substantial technological and magical innovation over the course of 32 novels and thousands of years.
The Jerle Shannara is the fastest and most advanced airship ever built, and her crew of the Jerle Shannara are voyaging west from the Elven capital city of Arborlon, across the Blue Divide, to the uncharted continent of Parkasia, in search of the lost Blue Elfstones, guided only by a mysterious map washed ashore with a lost prince, their last known user.
The crew have been selected from across the many races of the Four Lands, for their unique talents.
• From Paranor, the Druid's Keep, comes one-armed Walker Boh, the last of the druid order.
• From the Southlands, comes highlander Quentin Leah, heir to the mysterious Sword of Leah, and his childhood friend Bek Rowe.
• From the Eastlands, comes the dwarf woodsman Panax, and the mysterious shapeshifter Truhls Rohk.
• From the Westland elves, come Prince Ahren Elessedil, Captain Ard Patrinell of the Home Guard, the tracker Tamis.
• From the Wing Hove, the elf Hunter Predd and his mighty roc, Obsidian.
• From the Rover communities of the Westlands, the ship's captain Redden "Big Red" Alt Mer, his twin sister Rue "Little Red" Meridian, and the mysterious seer Ryer Ord Star.
The airships of the Four Lands are solar-powered and require active thrust to stay aloft. The sails, called "light sheaths", absorb solar energy, which is channeled through special rigging, the "radian draws", into the parse tubes which house the diapson crystals. It is these crystals which store the solar energy and distribute it through the ship's thrusters.
The Jerle Shannara comes with many play features, making it not only a display piece for adult collectors, but also a fun playset!
• The captain's cabin in the front of the ship has been converted into two smaller cabins with folding bunks to account for the unusual crew. Captain "Big Red" shares the port cabin with Prince Ahren Elessedil, and his sister, "Little Red", shares the starboard cabin with Ryer Ord Star. A privacy curtain separates the two cabins on the aft side of the mast, and sliding panels allow access to a shared washroom in the fore of the cabin.

Gradually, over the course of almost 10 months, all of the important equipment from the office has migrated to one or another of our homes. Today I needed to do some testing that would be easy on the last machine that was still in the office but that would take me an irritatingly long time to set up on one of the machines already here. So, Cherry came home, joining Redbud, Ginger, Honeysuckle, Panax, Redwood, and Fennel. It won't stay on the dining room table, but for the moment ...

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng)
The ginseng is used already for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine as a remedy. The first mention is in the year 40 b.c.. The ginseng root was back then, and even today in Asia as a symbol for health and long life. She could be used in former times only by Kings or emperors. As a result, the root was more valuable than gold.
In Chinese, the ginseng root is rénshēn (Chinese 人参), translated as "man root" or "human root".

In 2002 Hans Bruno Lund introduced the concept
"Multicomplex Management (MCM)" as a platform
for a new series of management concepts and tools,
e.g. "Expected Creative Potential (ECP)", desig-
ned as personal tools for the CEO of large, multicom-
plex organizations in addition to the traditional mana-
gement concepts and tools.
As of January 2010 the new concepts / tools "Multicomplex Management (MCM)" and "Expected Creative Potential (ECP)" were referred to on more than 800.000 websites or 40.000.000 webpages.

BCD connected 180.000 researchers, operators, engineers, technicians and company, organization and agency executives (1998). BCD was - in combination with NordTek (the organization managing the cooperation of the 23 Nordic technical universities) - the largest industrial and technological REI-network in Northern Europe. BCD was a 27.000 ECP Organization connecting 278.000 people totalling 2.7 million ECP.

This build is specifically inspired by the novel "Ilse Witch", the first in a trilogy aptly entitled "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara". These books are part of Terry Brook's classic "Shannara" series of novels (some of which were adapted into a popular TV series as well) - this was the series that proved fantasy could be accessible and commercially successful with mainstream audiences after the breakout success of Tolkien's Middle Earth novels. Unlike many other fantasy series, it's set in a world which sees substantial technological and magical innovation over the course of 32 novels and thousands of years.
The Jerle Shannara is the fastest and most advanced airship ever built, and her crew of the Jerle Shannara are voyaging west from the Elven capital city of Arborlon, across the Blue Divide, to the uncharted continent of Parkasia, in search of the lost Blue Elfstones, guided only by a mysterious map washed ashore with a lost prince, their last known user.
The crew have been selected from across the many races of the Four Lands, for their unique talents.
• From Paranor, the Druid's Keep, comes one-armed Walker Boh, the last of the druid order.
• From the Southlands, comes highlander Quentin Leah, heir to the mysterious Sword of Leah, and his childhood friend Bek Rowe.
• From the Eastlands, comes the dwarf woodsman Panax, and the mysterious shapeshifter Truhls Rohk.
• From the Westland elves, come Prince Ahren Elessedil, Captain Ard Patrinell of the Home Guard, the tracker Tamis.
• From the Wing Hove, the elf Hunter Predd and his mighty roc, Obsidian.
• From the Rover communities of the Westlands, the ship's captain Redden "Big Red" Alt Mer, his twin sister Rue "Little Red" Meridian, and the mysterious seer Ryer Ord Star.
The airships of the Four Lands are solar-powered and require active thrust to stay aloft. The sails, called "light sheaths", absorb solar energy, which is channeled through special rigging, the "radian draws", into the parse tubes which house the diapson crystals. It is these crystals which store the solar energy and distribute it through the ship's thrusters.
The Jerle Shannara comes with many play features, making it not only a display piece for adult collectors, but also a fun playset!
• The captain's cabin in the front of the ship has been converted into two smaller cabins with folding bunks to account for the unusual crew. Captain "Big Red" shares the port cabin with Prince Ahren Elessedil, and his sister, "Little Red", shares the starboard cabin with Ryer Ord Star. A privacy curtain separates the two cabins on the aft side of the mast, and sliding panels allow access to a shared washroom in the fore of the cabin.
• A removable platform between the main hull and port pontoon provides landing space for Obsidian to roost between scouting flights.
• Other crew members can wrap themselves in their cloaks and sleep in the pontoons.
• The ship is armed with a complement of ballistae to defend against hostile airships, and the ramps may be lowered to send over a boarding party.
• The galley occupies the center of the ship and features a long table where the crew can dine together, or study their maps and charts.
• The storage room in the aft of the ship has fresh water, food, the armory, and spare parts to make repairs on the long voyage.
• The rope ladder may be raised and lowered to take on supplies and passengers.
• The ship's wheel in the pilot box really controls the thrusters on either side of the ship's rudder, and the capstan hauls up the dual anchors!
• The masts are grippable so crew members can climb up into the rigging.
• Obsidian's wings fold and unfold realistically to move between flying and roosting positions.
Set consists of approximately 2700pcs, including 12 minifigures. The ship is quite spacious and this number of figures does not feel crowded - as you can see from the renderings, they spread out quite nicely.
