-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelidonium

Chelidonium majus, commonly known as the greater celandine or tetterwort (in America, the latter refers to Sanguinaria canadensis), is the only species in the genus Chelidonium, family Papaveraceae. The lesser celandine is not closely related, but its family, the Ranunculaceae, is allied to the Papaveraceae (Order Ranunculales). The greater celandine is native to Europe and the Mediterranean basin. It is also widespread in North America, having been brought there by settlers as a herbal remedy for skin problems such as warts as early as 1672.[citation needed]

Greater celandine has an erect habit, and may reach 30 to 120 cm high. The leaves are deeply divided, 30-cm long, and crenate. The sap is bright opaque yellow. The flowers comprise four yellow petals, each about 1 cm long, with two sepals. The flowers appear from May to July. The seeds are small and black, and possess an elaiosome, which attracts ants to disperse the seeds (myrmecochory). A double-flowered variety, a naturally occurring mutation, also exists. It is considered an aggressive invasive plant in natural areas (both woods and fields). Control is mainly via pulling or spraying the plant before seed dispersal.

Pharmacology

The whole plant is toxic in moderate doses as it contains a range of isoquinoline alkaloids but there are numerous therapeutic uses when used at the correct dosage.The main alkaloid present in the herb and root is coptisine. Other alkaloids present include berberine, chelidonine, sanguinarine and chelerythrine. Sanguinarine is particularly toxic with a lethal dose of only 18 mg per kg body weight.Despite this acute toxicity, sanguinarine is present in such small quantities that the LD50 dose would require >50g of raw herb to be ingested. Caffeic acid derivatives are also present.

The effect of the fresh herb is of a mild analgesic, cholagogic, antimicrobial, oncostatic and central nervous system sedative. In animal tests, celandine is shown to be cytostatic. An immune stimulating effect has also been noted. Some studies show that the alkaloid extraction can have the same effects. The alkaloids are known to cause immobilization in mice after been taken orally or injected. The alkaloids cause limpness and tone reduction of smooth muscle in rabbits. The alkaloids are also noted to stimulate the heart and lungs of frogs, cats and dogs, raising the blood pressure and widening the arteries.

The latex could be employed as a caustic for healing small open wounds. Early studies of celandine showed that it causes contact dermatitis and eye irritation, particularly from contact with the red to yellow latex. This effect has not been observed in animal studies; no inflammation was observed in rabbit eye tests. The latex can leave a non-permanent stain. Stains on skin of the fingers are sometimes reported to cause eye irritation after rubbing the eyes or handling contact lenses. When any part of the plant causes eye irritation, wash it out with clear water and when needed seek medical help. The latex is also known to stain clothes. The stem contains a bright orange sap,which is poisonous

Herbalism

The aerial parts and roots of greater celandine are used in herbalism. The above-ground parts are gathered during the flowering season and dried at high temperatures. The root is harvested in autumn between August and October and dried. The fresh rhizome is also used. Celandine has a hot and bitter taste. The latex has a narcotic fragrance.

Preparations are made from alcoholic and hot aqueous extractions (tea). The average daily dosage is 2 to 4 g, equivalent to 12 to 13 mg total alkaloids. For fluid extracts, the daily dosage is 1 to 2 ml of 1:1 25% alcoholic extraction, up to 3 times per day. For hot tea infusions, 1.5 dessert spoonsful left in boiling water for 10 minutes can be taken 3 times a day.

It was formerly used by gypsies as a foot refresher; modern herbalists use its purgative properties. In Russia and in other countries it is used as an herbal aid in removing warts, papillomas and other skin malformations. It is also used in the mole and wart remover Wart Mole Vanish. See also Bloodroot, which has similar chemical composition and therapeutic use as greater celandine, particularly in warts and moles treatment.

Greater celandine acts as a mild sedative which has been used historically to treat asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough. The herb's antispasmodic effect improves bile flow in the gallbladder and has been reputed to treat gallstones and gallbladder pain. As far back as Pliny the Elder and Dioscorides (1st century CE) this herb has been recognized as a useful detoxifying agent. The root has been chewed to relieve toothache.

5/12/2024 Pronghorn - Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, OR by Mark E. McClure

6 5

The pronghorn (UK: /ˈprɒŋhɔːrn/, US: /ˈprɔːŋ-/) (Antilocapra americana) is a species of artiodactyl (even-toed, hoofed) mammal indigenous to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is known colloquially in North America as the American antelope, prong buck, pronghorn antelope and prairie antelope, because it closely resembles the antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to parallel evolution. It is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae.

During the Pleistocene epoch, about 11 other antilocaprid species existed in North America, many with long or spectacularly-twisted horns. Three other genera (Capromeryx, Stockoceros and Tetrameryx existed when humans entered North America but are now extinct.

The pronghorn's closest living relatives are the giraffe and okapi. The Antilocaprids are part of the infraorder Pecora, making them distant relatives of deer, bovids, and moschids.

The pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in the Americas, with running speeds of up to 88.5 km/h (55 mph). It is the symbol of the American Society of Mammalogists.

Etymology

The animal gets its name from its horn sheaths that branch and have a forward-pointing tine, unlike the horns of species from the ox family Bovidae.

European discovery

Pronghorns were first seen and described by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, the species was not formally recorded or scrutinized until the expedition in 1804-06 by Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark. Following the discovery of a few subspecies of the sharp-tailed grouse, Lewis and Clark came across the pronghorn near the mouth of the Niobrara River, in present-day Nebraska. Clark was among the first Euro-Americans to publish the experience of killing a pronghorn, and described his experience as follows:

I walked on shore to find an old Vulcanoe [the Ionia Volcano?] ... in my walk I killed a Buck Goat of this Countrey, about the height of the Grown Deer, its body Shorter the horns which is not very hard and forks 2⁄3 up one prong Short the other round & Sharp arched, and is immediately above its Eyes the Color is a light gray with black behind its ears down the neck, and its face white round its neck, its Sides and its rump round its tail which is Short & white; Verry actively made, has only a pair of hoofs to each foot, his brains on the back of his head, his Nostrals large, his eyes like a Sheep he is more like the Antilope or Gazelle of Africa than any other Species of Goat.

The pronghorn was first officially described by American ornithologist George Ord in 1815.

Description

Pronghorns have distinct white fur on their rumps, sides, breasts, bellies, and across their throats. Adult males are 1.3–1.5 m (4 ft 3 in – 4 ft 11 in) long from nose to tail, stand 81–104 cm (2 ft 8 in – 3 ft 5 in) high at the shoulder, and weigh 40–65 kg (88–143 lb). The females are the same height as males, but weigh 34–48 kg (75–106 lb). The feet have two hooves, with no dewclaws. Their body temperature is 38 °C (100 °F).

Head

They have very large eyes with a 320° field of vision. Their orbits (eye sockets) are prominent and set high on the skull. Unlike deer, pronghorns possess a gallbladder.

Each horn of the pronghorn is composed of a slender, laterally flattened blade of bone which is thought to grow from the frontal bones of the skull, or from the subcutaneous tissues of the scalp, forming a permanent core. As in the Giraffidae, skin covers the bony cores, but in the pronghorn, it develops into a keratinous sheath which is shed and regrown annually. Males have a horn sheath about 12.5–43 cm (5–17 in) (average 25 cm or 10 in) long with a prong. Females have smaller horns that range from 3–15 cm (1–6 in) (average 12 cm or 4+1⁄2 in) and sometimes barely visible; they are straight and very rarely pronged.

Males are further differentiated from females in having a small patch of black hair at the angle of the mandible. Pronghorns have a distinct, musky odor. Males mark territory with a preorbital scent gland which is on the sides of the head. The major chemical component in this gland's secretion is the highly odoriferous compound, 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine. This compound is also the major volatile component found on the animal's back in the male's medial gland.

Pronghorns have well developed glands on each hoof. Like many ungulates, these interdigital (hoof) glands of pronghorn contain chemical compounds that are known to have antimicrobial activity against soil and mammalian pathogens.

Movement

The pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere, being built for maximum predator evasion through running. The top speed is dependent upon the length of time over which it is measured. It can run 56 km/h (35 mph) for 6.5 km (4 mi), 68 km/h (42 mph) for 1.5 km (1 mi), and 88.5 km/h (55 mph) for 800 m (0.5 mi). Although it is slower than the African cheetah, it can sustain top speeds much longer than cheetahs. The pronghorn may have evolved its running ability to escape from now-extinct predators such as the American cheetah, since its speed greatly exceeds that of all extant North American predators. Compared to its body size, the pronghorn has a large windpipe, heart, and lungs to allow it to take in large amounts of air when running. Additionally, pronghorn hooves have two long, cushioned, pointed toes which help absorb shock when running at high speeds They also have an extremely light bone structure and hollow hair.

Pronghorns are built for speed, not for jumping. Since their ranges are sometimes affected by sheep ranchers' fences, they can be seen going under fences, sometimes at high speed. For this reason, the Arizona Antelope Foundation and others are in the process of removing the bottom barbed wire from the fences, and/or installing a barbless bottom wire.

The pronghorn has been observed to have at least 13 distinct gaits, including one reaching nearly 7.3 m (23 ft 11 in) per stride.

When a pronghorn sees something that alarms it, the white hair on the rump flairs open and exposes two highly odoriferous glands that releases a compound described as having an odour "reminiscent of buttered popcorn." This sends a message to other pronghorns by both sight and smell about a present danger. This scent has been observed by humans 20 to 30 meters downwind from alarmed animals. The major odour compound identified from this gland is 2-pyrrolidinone.

Range and ecology

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the pronghorn was particularly abundant in the regions west of the Mississippi River (still its primary range today). Pronghorn herds filled a vital ecological niche of the prairie habitat, as well as other climatic zones. The amount of wildlife was considered to be so vast at one time that the prehistoric American Prairie—and as recently as 200 to 300 years ago—has been dubbed the "American Serengeti", due to the once-millions-strong herds of bison, elk, hundreds of thousands of pronghorn, as well as other now-extinct megafauna.

The present-day range of the pronghorn is generally west of the Mississippi, extending from southern Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada south into the western US, primarily in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. In extreme Northern California, pronghorn can be found in inland counties, ranging from neighboring Nevada and Oregon, as well as the central coastal grasslands, further south. In Mexico, the Sonoran pronghorn (A. a. sonoriensis) subspecies may be found from the state of Baja California Sur east through Sonora to San Luis Potosí, in north-central regions of the country, albeit in gradually diminishing populations. They have been extirpated from Iowa and Minnesota in the United States, and from Manitoba in Canada.

Other regional subspecies include the Rocky Mountain pronghorn (A. a. americana), Mexican pronghorn (A. a. mexicana), the Oregon pronghorn (A. a. oregona), and the critically endangered Baja California pronghorn (A. a. peninsularis).

Pronghorns prefer open, expansive terrain at elevations varying between 900 and 1,800 m (3,000 and 5,900 ft), with the densest populations in areas receiving around 250–400 mm (10–15+1⁄2 in) of rainfall per year. They eat a wide variety of plant foods, often including plants unpalatable or toxic to domestic livestock, though they also compete with them for food. In one study, forbs comprised 62% of their diet, shrubs 23%, and grasses 15%, while in another, cacti comprised 40%, grass 22%, forbs 20%, and shrubs 18%. Pronghorns also chew and eat (ruminate) cud.

Healthy pronghorn populations tend to stay within 5.0–6.5 km (3–4 mi) of a water source. The majority are found within 5 mi (8 km) of a water source.

An ongoing study by the Lava Lake Institute for Science and Conservation and the Wildlife Conservation Society shows an overland migration route that covers more than 260 km (160 mi). The migrating pronghorn start travel from the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains through Craters of the Moon National Monument to the Continental Divide. Dr. Scott Bergen of the Wildlife Conservation Society says "This study shows that pronghorn are the true marathoners of the American West. With these new findings, we can confirm that Idaho supports a major overland mammal migration - an increasingly rare phenomenon in the U.S. and worldwide."

Cougars (Puma concolor), wolves (Canis lupus), coyotes (Canis latrans), grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) and bobcats (Lynx rufus) are major predators of pronghorns. Golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) have been reported to prey on fawns and adults. Jaguars (Panthera onca) also likely prey on pronghorns in their native range in the southwestern United States and in northern Mexico. In the Pleistocene, jaguars would likely be dangerous to pronghorns as a short-range ambush predator.

Lisa and Connor by Rare Disease Day

I am 41 years old with two children. I have been sick for my whole life with severe childhood allergies and ear infections. I have recurrent strep and sinus infections. I got Mono in college and my health deteriorated. I got Pneumonia with 106.5 fever in 2000, but with no rise in my white blood cell count. I got adult croup, which is much more dangerous than childhood croup. I was hospitalized for two weeks. A simple case of the stomach flu can hospitalize me, and has many times. I lost four back teeth during my second pregnancy and attempted dental implants. I got osteomyelits 6 months of IV antibiotics in 2005, blood clots in my neck and shoulder, and a completely collapsed sinus on the left side of my face. I caught Viral Meningitis in 2009 with no significant rise in my white blood cell count. I have had my gallbladder, tonsils, and appendix out over the last twenty years. All were so diseased that when removed they fell apart. But with the MBL deficiency, nothing indicated the need for removal other than my physical symptoms. I had to have my spleen removed in 2009. It was 3-5 times bigger than it should have been when removed.

I began seeing a Immunologist in Sept of 2009. I finally have the diagnosis of my constant illness in life. I have Mannose Binding Lectin Deficiency. I do not make the protein for my white blood cells. It is considered a genetic mutation. My genetic immune system does not work. 200 is deficient, 120 is severely deficient. I scored a zero. On top of that I have immune deficiencies in IgA and Igg3 Sub Class that allows me to get sick ALL the time. IgG3 protects you from things like chicken pox, bronchitis, pneumonia, strep, etc.

My older son who is now 15 was born with bacterial pneumonia and a reported hole in his heart that closed 3 days later. While I was pregnant with him I got chicken pox in the 1st trimester. He had recurrent ear infections as a small child, he got croup more times than I can count. He got the Rota Virus at 3 and hospitalized, and a emergency tonsillectomy at 5. He also had severe Asthma as a child. The asthma is actually much better now. He has had pneumonia several times since birth. As a teenager now he has a severe IgA deficiency and IgM deficiency. He is also severely Mannose Binding Lectin deficient scoring a 17. We both take antibiotics 3 days a week all the time. It is the only treatment available for MBL deficiency at this time. The antibiotics are to keep our infection rates down to a safer level and not allow the infection to colonize.

Both my son and I are ADHD and have these rare medical challenges. I could fill this whole form with illnesses I have suffered that are uncommon, but nobody ever thought to test my immune system till this past year. Some of the tests have only been available for about 10 years now. I have one more son, who is 9 years old and gets sick all the time. He does NOT have MBL, but is severely deficient in Igg1 and no resistance to common bacteria. He gets sick all the time with sinus infections and bronchitis and has moderate asthma that is made much worse with infection. The good news is his young age and without the diagnosis of MBL deficiency he might qualify for IVIG therapy.

Like any Mother, had I have known I had a genetic condition I would never of had children and passed this to them. I have been a single Mom all their lives. Even with this rare disease we are very blessed to have each other. I would love to learn more and encourage more research in MBL deficiency. I know long term antibiotic use is not the best solution, but currently the only one. I do not want my teenage son to be limited like I have with the number of illnesses I have experienced my whole life. My 15 year old Connor is such a great kid. He loves life and is very discouraged not only with the diagnosis and seeing what I have lived. He is feeling so bad physically for the past couple of months, he is pale, and choosing for the first time not to participate in many of his favorite activites.

Thanks for reading,

Lisa Williams

Rhiannon, the Celtic goddess of the moon was a Welsh goddess. The goddess Rhiannon's name meant “Divine Queen” of the fairies. In her myths, Rhiannon was promised in marriage to an older man she found repugnant. Defying her family’s wishes that Rhiannon, like other Celtic goddesses, declined to marry one of her "own kind".

Instead, the goddess Rhiannon chose the mortal Prince Pwyll (pronounced Poo-ul or translated as Paul) as her future husband. Rhiannon appeared to Pwyll one afternoon while he stood with his companions on a great grass-covered mound in the deep forest surrounding his castle. These mounds, called Tors, were thought to be magical places, perhaps covering the entrance to the otherworld beneath the earth. It was thought that those who stood upon them would become enchanted, so most people avoided them.

So it is no surprise that the young prince was enchanted by the vision of the beautiful young goddess Rhiannon, who was dressed in glittering gold as she galloped by on her powerful white horse. Rhiannon rode by without sparing him even a glance. Pwyll was intrigued and enraptured, and his companions were understandably concerned.

Yosemite reflections. by Mike

5 10

To all my Filckr friends. I am so overwhelmed with all your concern about my well being, I would not be able to thank you all individual, so I will thank you all this way, it is deeply appreciated and I am moved by your friendship. Here a short version what happened. Beginning of June I had to cut my trip to the mountains short as I got an uncontrollable body itch with no signs on the skin. This all developed into my finding out that I have liver cirrhosis, this got created by the removal of my gallbladder 40 years ago. Even modern medicine cannot help much for being tired, nauseas, just feeling terrible. So that is where I stand now. Please except my apologies not letting you know earlier as I was still hoping for some improvement. So my dear friends when I feel up too it I will try to post some image from the thousands I have stored away. Thanks so much again.

All the best to all of you.

Mike.

Beautiful Burdock by Lynnette Henderson

1 3

We have a nice crop of wild burdock, that provides us with wonderful, medicinal roots.

MEDICINAL QUALITIES OF BURDOCK

Burdock Root contains a number of medicinal properties that have been used for hundreds of years. Traditionally herbalists all over the world use Burdock Root as a blood purifier. It is the root of the Burdock plant that is harvested for folk medicinal use. The roots are about an inch wide but up to three feet long and are best dug in July. They should be lifted with a beet-lifter or a deep-running plough, due to the long tap root. As a rule they are 12 inches or more in length and about 1 inch thick; sometimes, however, they extend 2 to 3 feet, making it necessary to dig by hand. They are fleshy, wrinkled, crowned with a tuft of whitish, soft, hairy leaf-stalks, grey-brown externally, whitish internally, with a somewhat thick bark, about a quarter of the diameter of the root, and soft wood tissues, with a radiate structure.

Burdock has been used by herbalists worldwide to treat a variety skin diseases such as abscesses, acne, carbuncles, psoriasis and eczema. Burdock can be either taken alone or combined with other remedies, such as Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. The beneficial effects of this herb includes increasing circulation to the skin, helping to detoxify the epidermal tissues. Burdock Root has been reported to destroy bacteria and fungus cultures. It is a popular detoxifying agent that produces a diuretic effect on the body which aids the filtering of impurities from the bloodstream. By promoting perspiration, Burdock Root eliminates toxins through the skin. By producing a detoxifying effect, Burdock Root aids blood circulation and produces a variety of positive side effects. As before mentioned, it contains inulin, a carbohydrate that strengthens the liver. The high concentration of inulin and mucilage aids in the soothing effects on the gastrointestinal tract. The high concentration of inulin is helpful for individuals that are afflicted with diabetes and hypoglycemia as it provides helpful sugar that does not provoke rapid insulin production. Inulin, which is very high in Burdock, is a resinoid or camphor-like hydrocarbon that is aromatic, stimulant, expectorant, tonic, stomachic, and antiseptic.

Burdock Root contains polyacetylenes that gives the herb its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is used as a mild laxative that aids in the elimination of uric acid or gout. It is classified as an alterative, diuretic and diaphoretic. It helps the kidneys to filter out impurities from the blood very quickly. It clears congestion in respiratory, lymphatic, urinary and circulatory systems. Burdock releases water retention, stimulates digestion, aids kidney, liver and gallbladder function. It also functions as an aperient, depurative, and antiscorbutic.

Decoctions of Burdock have also been historically used for soothing the kidneys, relieving the lymphatic system, rheumatism, gout, GI tract disorders, stomach ailments, constipation, catarrh, fever, infection, fluid retention and skin problems. An article in Chemotherapy identified the chemical arctigenin contained in Burdock as an “inhibitor of experimental tumor growth.”

Both European and Chinese herbalists have long considered burdock root's "lightly warming, moistening effect an excellent tonic for the lungs and liver. It reportedly stimulates toxic waste through the skin and urine, improving digestion and is good for arthritis and rheumatism.

Burdock is an aid to circulation because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

A recent study showed that Burdock blocked dangerous chemicals from causing damage to cells, suggesting to the possibility that burdock may help decrease the risk of developing cancer from toxic chemicals.

Some other miscellaneous disorders Burdock Root is good for are:

Helpful in cellular regeneration

Useful in cleansing and treatment of Crohn's disease and diverticulitis

Aids in alleviating distress related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Useful in the treatment of recovery from Hepatitis

Burdock stimulates the appetite, so modern experts recommend it for anorexia nervosa

Burdock is useful for most of the same needs as Yellow Dock (rumex crispus) and is effective in treating gout and high cholesterol.

Based on many studies with animals exposed to toxic chemicals, the tea very effectively protects the body against cellular damage and abnormal growths. The tea also has powerful anti-inflammatory activity based on studies and reduces liver damage from toxic chemicals. As a mildly bitter-tasting herb, it increases saliva and bile secretion, which aids digestion and cleanses the liver. Burdock root tea can also be applied externally for treating skin conditions.

Cheryl's Salad Garden by Cheryl Millett

What is the most abundant colour on the planet?

Green and more green, from the sea to land.

Check out my new leaf garden! Thanks to my wonderful husband Paul, we have a great leaf garden growing 6 different lettuces. The other day I caught my daughters and their friend plucking the leaves and eating them. Now that is fresh!

Different greens deliver different nutrients so it is best to incorporate a variety of greens from both land and sea.

Spirulina is one of my favorites. It can be purchased in powder form and put into a smoothie or taken as capsules. Why green foods from the ocean?

The future of nutrition is found in the ocean. – Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Spirulina contains many wonderful nutrients, including chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, macro and trace minerals, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), polysaccharides, and a vast spectrum of antioxidants. Did you know that spirulina contains as much iron as meat? Spirulina also contains several bio-available forms of the mineral sulfur. Sulfur is excellent for your liver and pancreas. (Stay tuned for my fall liver-gallbladder flush teachings!)

Others include different kinds of algae-like blue-green algae, marine phytoplankton, chlorella and kelp. They have their own unique profile of benefits.

Many of the ocean greens contain many trace minerals. Weston Price’s work in Nutrition and Physical Degeneration shows that those people who adopt a “civilized” diet, the faster mineral deficiencies symptoms appear. Mineral deficiencies have been associated with every degenerative and chronic condition known to humankind.

The ocean greens are considered to be super foods whereas the land greens are not BUT they can be valuable in their own way.

On land, the green foods are plenty from the beautiful avocado, to celery, then broccoli and last but not least the leafy greens which include bok choy, kale, romaine, red leaf lettuce, spinach, dandelion, herbs and much more. Others include spring onions, green string beans, sunflower shoots, alfalfa sprouts, etc. Two key reasons to consume vegetables are they contain water and fiber.

Many of the foods we consume today are only as rich in vital nutrients as what is found in the medium, they are grown in. Mineralizing the soil is a must.

Here is your desire outcome…a salad a day. Consider using only an organic cold-pressed olive oil in the dressing. Olive oil and lemon/lime…a simple salad dressing! (Check out the book 'All Guts All Glory' www.amazon.ca/dp/B089TT3SW6 for several salad recipes.)

Eat green -- Be happy - Feel joy

Every time you sit down to your plate, ask yourself or your host… where are the veggies! And if they remember the old phrase “where’s the beef” they might even chuckle which would be a healthy thing to do.

Make it a healthy day your way!

Geranium Robertianum by Adrian_DOF

7 1

-close-up-

Nikkor 35mm f1.8 S still amazes me: a small flower very nicely separated from the background, excellent colors, very sharp.

"Geranium robertianum, commonly known as herb-Robert,[1] or (in North America) Roberts geranium, is a common species of cranesbill native to Europe and parts of Asia, North Africa, and parts of North America.[2] The plant has many vernacular names, including red robin, death come quickly, fox geranium, stinking Bob, squinter-pip (Shropshire) and crow's foot.

Description

It grows as a procumbent (prostrate or trailing) to erect annual or biennial plant, up to fifty centimetres high, producing small, pink, five-petalled flowers (8–14 mm in diameter)[3] from April until the autumn. The leaves are deeply dissected, ternate to palmate,[3][4]: 174 the stems reddish and prominently hairy; where it grows in sunny sites, the leaves also turn crimson red at the end of the flowering season.[5]

Distribution and habitat

Its main areas of distribution are Europe from the north Mediterranean coast to the Baltic, from the British Isles in the west to the Caucasus in the east, and eastern North America.[6] It is not native to western North America, where it has escaped from cultivation and is regarded as an invasive species.[7] Geranium robertianum is common throughout Great Britain and Ireland in woodland, hedgerows, scree and maritime shingle.[3] It grows at altitudes from sea level to 710 metres (2,329 ft) in Teesdale, England and above 2,100 metres (6,890 ft) in parts of mainland Europe on calcareous alpine screes.[8]

Uses

Herb Robert has been used in the folk medicine of several countries, including as a treatment for diarrhea, to improve functioning of the liver and gallbladder,[9] for toothache and nosebleeds,[10] and as a vulnerary (used for or useful in healing wounds).[11] Its common name has several possible sources: the Latin word for red, ruber; Shakespearean character Robin Goodfellow, the mischievous hobgoblin in A Midsummer Night's Dream; an early duke of Normandy named Robert who is rumored to have commissioned the Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum; or abbot and herbalist Robert of Molesme.[12][13] Freshly picked leaves have an odor resembling burning tires when crushed, and if they are rubbed on the body the smell is said to repel mosquitoes.[11]

Chemical constituents include tannins, a bitter compound called geraniin, and essential oils.[14]"

Italian Culture through Meat Preparation by henry.schmidt

For the last almost three months, I've been apprenticing in an Italian butcher shop; everyday before class, I head to Via Salicotto and lend a hand to Massimo and Pino, two older Italian butchers who've worked their craft for over 30 years. This opportunity has given me great insight into the preservation of Italian culture not only through the consumption of food, but also its preparation. Very rarely do we have the opportunity to see where our food comes from, but much of the cultural preservation we find by examining gastronomy comes from this crucial step in the process of getting food from the field to your mouth.

WARNING: SOME OF THE FOLLOWING PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC.

Until about 60 years ago,Italyhad a largely agrarian economy. Industrialization began in the late 50’s, and thus many Italians still share a close cultural tie to rural lifestyles. You can see this through the overwhelming knowledge anybody on the street has of the wine they drink, of the olive oil they eat, and the gardens they grow, but one can also see this in the way they consume meat. I just spent a week on a farm inSouthern Italyfor Spring break, and one day during that time we killed a young goat for Easter; having raised the goat himself, Rannucio, the farmer, understood the time and effort it took to raise the goat, and he understood fully the value of the goat’s life. This understanding, shared amongst the majority of farmers, still permeates today’s Italian gastronomy in the form of whole-animal butchery. On my first day of work at the shop, I walked in to introduce myself and was greeted by Massimo chopping a half a chicken, pictured below.

Inside the chicken were the majority of its innards, excluding its small and large intestines and gallbladder. I had never seen a chicken lung before. Here, they are left in the locally-raised, higher quality chickens and every Italian cook knows just how to prepare them. The same can be said of the rabbits.

There’s something about an animal looking back at you through the display case that reminds you that they were once a living thing, something Americans often make an effort to forget and something Italians embrace.

The other morning, we received a shipment of new meats and I took this picture. It’s one of my favorites, and I feel it illustrates this point more than any picture I’ve seen.

Here is a hindquarter of cow next to its trachea, heart, lungs, liver, and pancreas. Many Americans can rattle off the cuts that come from the hindquarter, all the beautiful steaks and roasts that have made many a mouth drool. But how often do you enter a restaurant and see cow trachea on the menu? How about heart, or lungs? As a lasting remnant of the agricultural history ofItaly, Italians have preserved this idea that all parts of the animal are important. There is no better way than to honor the life of the animal you consume than by acknowledging the fact that it was indeed living and was killed for your consumption, and to consume every part of the animal, not just the “pretty” cuts.

Every morning, I prepare an item called fegatelli, which are breaded and seasoned pieces of chopped pig liver wrapped in the caul fat of a sheep, the fat that surrounds the stomach.

I’d never seen caul fat before. Here, Italians love it. It’s a delicacy. I’ve also prepared collo di pollo ripieno, a chicken’s neck which is stuffed with ground beef and resembles a sausage. Here, it rests amongst beautiful cuts of beef meant to roast.

I ate this in a restaurant in Florence; it was served sliced, with the head as a garnish.

Another prominent aspect of Italian meat preparation is meat curing, a practice preserved from times preceding refrigeration. Many are familiar with the famous Prosciutto di Parma, and possibly the other Proscutti di Toscana and various other regions. Pancetta, pork belly, is cured and exported worldwide.

What about cheek? Every Friday we receive half of a pig.

The work that these butchers do with the pig astounds me. At the bottom of the pig, you may see its cheek; this is removed, put under salt, and preserved just like the other cuts. It tastes fantastic.

This pig is later cut into various sections; the shoulder is cut into sausage, the belly is made into pancetta, the spinal column, or arista, is what gives us our beloved pork chops, the loin is removed, the ribs are sold as they are in the US, and the leg becomes prosciutto. The neck is removed and cured to make capocollo, probably my favorite of the Italian cured meats. So then what becomes of the rest? When we receive the pig, we also receive its head.

Thus, we have leftover hooves, head, skin, and other odds and ends. While these may seem like the bits that should be thrown out, the Italians still honor these parts of the pig by creating buristo (blood sausage) and soppressata. Buristo is made from the skin, other fatless parts, and blood, boiled, ground, and then, after adding fat back in, put insides the pig’s intestines or, in this case, its stomach. Soppressata is made with all the parts, boiled, removed from the bone, then simply shaped into a cylinder and left to dry. They are both delicious and very popular.

All of these practices, very much alive in this small butcher’s shop just off of the largest piazza in the city, remind us of the not-so-distant past of the Italian population. They way that these artisans go about their work and the care with which they preserve as many parts of the animals they receive tell a good deal about the history of this country and reveal a crucial part of the Sienese identity.

Red clover - Trifolium pratense by SAMARA:

16 10

One of the few wild flowers around at this time of year.

Red Clover is a perennial herb, origin believed to be Britain where it is abundant, now a world wide escape, naturalised in nearly every country, even the Arctic Circle and high up into mountains. The long root is rhizome, and sends out runners, producing several stems 1 to 2 feet high, slightly hairy; leaves ternate, leaflets ovate, slightly toothed, ending in long point often lighter coloured V shape in centre, flowers red to purple, fragrant, in dense terminal ovoid or round heads.

In folk magic Red Clover is used in a ritual bath to attract money and prosperity to the bather and is also used as a floor wash to chase out evil and unwanted ghosts. The four-leaf clover is believed to protect from evil spirits, witches, disease and the evil eye. This familiar childhood rhyme for a four-leaf clover actually originates from the Middle Ages:

One leaf for fame, one leaf for wealth,

One for a faithful lover,

And one leaf to bring glorious health,

Are all in a four-leaf clover

The four-leaf clover was said to enable its wearer to ward off evil and witches, to see fairies and various spirits, to heal illnesses, to have good fortune, and to escape military service. The five-leaf clover was said to be unlucky and the two-leaf clover was to enable a maid to see her future lover. With its three leaves, Clover is a very shamanic plant allowing one to see into and interact with the Other World. It is a good talisman for protection and power for travelling out of body and walking between worlds.

The flowers were a popular anti-cancer remedy as late as the 1930's especially for cancer of the breasts and ovaries and this is a cancer cure from the hills of Tennessee: "Place two to three teaspoons of red clover blossom in one cup of boiling water, steep mixture until a tea is formed. Drink one cup a day."

Considered also an excellent remedy for children with skin problems, it was also thought to be of particular benefit for children with eczema and asthma. It is also held to be of value in other chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis.

The expectorant and antispasmodic actions of Red Clover made it a traditional treatment of coughs and bronchitis and particularly in whooping cough, while a syrup made from the infusion of Red Clover was used to relieve stubborn, dry coughs.

The fresh, crushed flowers can be applied to bites and stings. According to the Doctrine of Signatures, the white crescent markings on the leaflets of red clover were seen as a sign that the plant could be of benefit in the treatment of cataracts while a tincture of Red Clover in water may be used as an eyewash for conjunctivitis.

Clovers are rich in nutrients and vitamins and the leaves and flowers can be added to salads or used as garnish. Use the new green leaves when eating them raw, but you can also add the tougher older leaves to sautéed or steamed greens like spinach and kale. You can even add the leaves into stir fries, soups, and pasta sauces, but add them last and just cook until wilted to retain the nutrients. Even the roots can be eaten when cooked. You can batter and fry Clover flowers just like Elder flowers. The flowers of both types of clover can be used to make homemade wines. Red Clover flowers are steeped to make a popular tea which, although drunk for pleasure, can be used to treat liver and gallbladder issues, stomach and digestive issues, as well as for women’s menstrual and fertility issues. A popular jelly was made from the red blooms.
