Hazelnut catkins (male flower), produce the pollen that fertilizes the female flowers. This is done by the wind spreading the pollen. Trees have both male and female flowers, but the trees cannot self-pollinate, so the wind has to carry pollen over to another tree. When it gets there, it goes dormant for months while the flower continues to develop, then the pollen wakes up to finally fertilize the tree. Weird huh!

Friday, the last weekday to shop before the holidays.
There were three gun shootings by Police today.
A brokehn elevator. Stuck at the top. Nothing more, nothing less.
Did not stop me from getting to the top floor. Lights were fading with the sun. And gained intensity with the cars riding the streets of Montreux. Did not stop the stars either. They descended to pay me a quick visit, sneaking under the ceiling through my thoughts.
#Paying my dues to this beautiful and now abandoned place that rythmed my life during the last months.#

OM-1, 90mm Macro Pro, FL-700WR, AK-Diffuser
Diffusely spreading, half-woody herb, with branched stems up to 1 meter long, sparingly prickly with numerous deflexed, bristly hairs. The leaves are very sensitive, both pinnae and leaflets, folding when touched. The leaflets are narrowly oblong, inequilateral, 1 to 1.5 cm long, sessile, with pointed tips. Heads are long-peduncled, solitary or 2 to 3 in each axil, about 1 cm diameter. Pods are flat, 1 to 2 cm long, with 3 to 4 one-sided joints that fall away on maturity. Florets are red in the upper part with pink to lavender filaments.

Studies
• Antimicrobial: Study showed antimicrobial activity against Aspergillus fumigatus, Citrobacter divergens and Klebsiella pneumonia.
• Anticonvulsant: Study showed intraperitoneal use of Mimosa pudica decoction protected mice against pentylentetrazol and strychnine-induced seizures.
• Plant extracts showed the plant to be a moderate diuretic, depresses duodenal contractions (similar to atrophine), promotes nerve regeneration and reduce menorrhagia.
• Also shown to have antidepressant activity.
• Wound Healing: Study of the methanolic extract exhibited good wound healing activity, an effect attributable to phenol constituents.
• Strong emetic effect of extracts attributed to mimosine.
• Antifertility Studies: Studies on the root extract of M. pudica showed antifertility effect with prolongation of the estrous cycle and disturbance of the secretion of gonadotropin hormones in albino mice.
• Antitoxin / Antivenom Studies: (1) A study in India screened several herbal plants for antivenin activity against common sea snake venom Enhydrina schistosa, the most toxic among the common sea snakes. The investigation showed antivenom activiety in the alcoholic extract of Mimosa pudica, Mucuna pruriens, and Andrographis paniculata. (2) Study on the aqueous extract of dried roots of Mimosa pudica showed significant inhibitory effect on Naja naja and Bangarus caerulus venoms. (3) Of 17 plants screened, only M pudica showed 100% ability in neuralizing venom lethality. Study showed the potential use of M pudica as an antivenom agent of plant origin against five poisonous snake venoms found in Malaysia.
• Two new C-glycosylflavones from Mimosa pudica: Two new C-glycosylflavones were isolated from the whole plant of Mimosa pudica, and their structures were determined as 6,7,3?,4?-tetrahydroxyl-8-C-[?-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 ? 2)]-?-d-glucopyranosyl flavone (1), 5,7,3?,4?-tetrahydroxy-8-C[?-d-apiose-(1 ? 4)]-?-d-glycopyranosyl flavone (2).
• Chromoblastomycosis: Study isolated Fonsecaea from the thorns of M pudica and suggests it could be a natural source of infection for the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi.
• Seed Mucilage / Sustained-Release Excipient: Study showed the dissolution profile from formulation containing mucilage to drug in the proportion of 1:40 was found to be similar to the commercial sustained-release formulation of diclofenac.
• Anti-Depressant: Study suggests that M pudica produces antidepressant effect in rats with a profile similar to two tricyclic antidepressants.
• Anti-Malarial: Mimosine found to be an iron chelator acting on malarial bugs by preventing the replication of cells.
• Apoptotic: Mimosine also causes apoptosis and studied for treating ovarian cancer and other highly vascularized tumors.
• Anthelmintic: The Anthelmintic effect of Makahiya (Mimosa pudica) leaves Extract in Native Chicken (Gallus domesticus) naturally infected with Gastro-intestinal Parasites (Thesis)
• Anti-Hepatotoxic / Antioxidant: Study showed the co-administration of Mimosa pudica aqueous extract significantly lowered the level of lipid peroxidation in alcohol-fed mice.
• Anti-Hyperglycemic: Mimosa pudica is one of eight medicinal plants in an Ayuvedic herbal formulation, Ilogen-Excel, showing antihyperglycemic effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
• Nerve-Regenerative: Study showed Mimosa pudica extract possess nerve-regenerative potential in rats with sciatic nerve injury.

Thanks for viewing.
Sorry I have been unable to check out your streams since I have been sick a bit this week, also this is my first shot in 10 days. Hopefully everyone is doing well.

"Smell". Warm vintage color.
The second frame of a dew covered Metallic Beetle. This was the second field test of the new diffuser that I built for the MT-26EX RT. I have since built a second one that seems to be performing better.
Note: Possible ID: Anthaxia fulgurans
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. The sharpening in Denoise AI looked really good to me so I didn't run Sharpen AI.

2017 Weekly Alphabet Challenge, Week 30, D for Diffused
A bit of an emergency shot, run out of time today. This is son no 1's hand captured through an opaque window, in our hotel in Singapore.
I am again amazed, thanks so much for your faves and views for getting and keeping this in Explore, entering at #216 on 30/07/17

Captured from the backyard of my new home in Colorado, this is my first light image using the new QHY367C, Full Frame 7376x4938, 36.4mega pixel One Shot Color CMOS camera.
M78, otherwise known as NGC 2068 is a Diffuse and Reflection Nebula in the Constellation Orion and a part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex and lies at a distance of around 1600 Light Years from Earth, to the left of the image can be seen a small part of the huge Barnard's Loop which is much closer to us at a distance of approximately 500 Light Years. Seen at a shorter focal length Barnard's Loop resembles an arc and encompasses the other well-known objects M42 and The Horsehead Nebula.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well the camera is performing so far and how incredibly sensitive this camera is and with relatively low noise, this image comprises of 45 x 2 minute exposures with 60 x 2 minute dark frames and Flat Frames.
For Gain and Offset I used the "DSO" setting of gain 1208 and Offset 76, although it has been recommended that I try a Gain of 2280 for even higher sensitivity.
The QHY367C has an ambient of -35C and from the time the TEC cooling is turned on my sample camera cooled to -20C within 40 seconds from 32F. Image download speed using Maxim DL is about 2 seconds.
As my test camera doesn’t have an IR block filter at the optic window I mounted and used the luminance filter on my QHYCFW2-L 2” filter wheel, which I intend to use for the H-Alpha Filter. This same filter wheel I have been using with the QHY11 Full frame Mono CCD which is identical in size and proportions to the QHY367C.
Due to the large file size of 70MB I found Pre Processing using Pixinsight to be very slow (2.5 - 3 hours) and this is with an 8 Core Processor with 16MB DDR3 Ram, I decided to try Deep Sky Stacker as this free software works very well for DSLR and OSC cameras in my opinion. I was surprised that Pre-Processing took only 35 minutes.
