From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeucheraThe genus Heuchera includes at least 50 species of herbaceous perennial plants in the family Saxifragaceae, all native to North America. Common names include alumroot and coral bells. They have palmately lobed leaves on long petioles, and a thick, woody rootstock. The genus was named after Johann Heinrich von Heucher (1677–1746), an 18th century German physician.
Alumroot species grow in varied habitats, so some species look quite different from one another, and have varying preferences regarding temperature, soil, and other natural factors. H. maxima is found on the Channel Islands of California, where it grows on rocky, windy, saline-washed ocean shores. H. sanguinea, called coral bells because of its terra cotta-colored flowers, can be found in the warm, dry canyons of Arizona. Gardeners and horticulturists have developed a multitude of hybrids between various Heuchera species. There is an extensive array of blossom sizes, shapes, and colors, foliage types, and geographic tolerances.
Though tangy and slightly astringent, the leaves may be used to liven up bland greens.
Natives of the Northwest U.S. have used tonic derived of Alumroot roots to aid digestive difficulties, but extractions from the root can also be used to stop minor bleeding, reduce inflammation, and otherwise shrink moist tissues after swelling.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convallaria
Convallaria majalis, commonly known as the Lily of the Valley or Lily-of-the-Valley, is the only species in the genus Convallaria in the flowering plant family Ruscaceae, formerly placed in the lily family Liliaceae or in its own family called Convallariaceae. This woodland plant is native throughout the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere in Asia and Europe and a limited native population in Eastern USA [1] (Convallaria majalis var. montana). There is, however, some debate as to the native status of the American species.[2] It is a herbaceous perennial plant that forms extensive colonies by spreading underground stems called rhizomes that send out stolons. These send up numerous stems each spring. The stems grow to 15-30 cm tall, with one or two leaves 10-25 cm long, flowering stems have two leaves and a raceme of 5-15 flowers on the stem apex. The flowers are white tepals (rarely pink), bell-shaped, 5-10 mm diameter, and sweetly scented; flowering is in late spring, in mild winters in early March. The fruit is a small orange-red berry 5-7 mm diameter that contains a few large whitish to brownish colored seeds that dry to a clear translucent round bead 1 to 3 mm wide. Plants are self-sterile, and colonies of one clone do not set seed.[3]
There are three subspecies [4] that have sometimes been separated out as distinct species by a few botanists.
Convallaria majalis var. keiskei - from China and Japan with red fruit and bowl shaped flowers
Convallaria majalis var. majalis - from Eurasia with white midribs on the flowers.
Convallaria majalis var. montana - from the USA with green tinted midribs on the flowers.
All parts of the Lily of the Valley are highly poisonous, containing cardiac glycosides and saponins, although the plant has been used as a folk remedy in moderate amounts[5]. If the plant is touched or handled, hands should be washed before doing anything else.
Convallaria majalis is a popular garden plant, grown for the scented flowers. A number of different forms are grown including plants with double flowers, rose colored flowers, plants with variegated foliage and forms with larger size. Some consider it a weed, because it can spread over a wide area of gardens and other places where it is planted and can be difficult to contain or remove.
Lily of the Valley is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Grey Chi.
The flower is also known as Our Lady's tears since, according to Christian legend, the tears Mary shed at the cross turned to Lilies of the Valley. According to another legend, Lilies of the Valley also sprang from the blood of St. George during his battle with the dragon. Other names include May Lily, May Bells, Lily Constancy, Ladder-to-Heaven, Male Lily and Muguet.
Traditionally, Lily of the Valley is sold in the streets of France on May 1. Lily of the Valley became the national flower of Finland in 1967. The Norwegian municipality Lunner has a Lily of the Valley in its coat-of-arms. It is the official flower of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, Kappa Sigma fraternity, Delta Omicron fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority, and Alpha Phi sorority.
The name "Lily of the Valley" is also used in some English translations of the Bible in Song of Songs 2:1, although whether or not the Hebrew word "shoshana" (usually denoting a rose) originally used there refers to this species is uncertain. The meaning of this flower is "You will find Happiness."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadnettle
Lamium (deadnettle) is a genus of about 40-50 species of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae, of which family it is the type genus. They are all herbaceous plants native to Europe, Asia, and north Africa, but several have become very successful weeds of crop fields and are now widely naturalised across the temperate world.
The genus includes both annual and perennial species; they spread by both seeds and stems rooting as they grow along the ground.
The common name refers to their superficial resemblance to the unrelated stinging nettles, but unlike those, they do not have stinging hairs and so are harmless or apparently "dead".
Lamiums are frost hardy and grow well in most soils. Flower colour determines planting season and light requirement: white- and purple-coloured flowered species are planted in spring and prefer full sun. The yellow-flowered ones are planted in fall (autumn) and prefer shade. They often have invasive habits and need plenty of room. Propagate from seed or by division in early spring

My husband and I at his Physician Assistant graduation. It's been a 7 year journey...but WE DID IT!
On September 11th of 2001 we watched as a plane hit the second tower of the World Trade Center. This event transformed a lot of lives that day in very sad ways, but for us it was the impetus to a transformed life for our family as well.
My husband was a mortgage loan officer, and on 9/11 all financial trading stopped...including the funding of loans. It was already a very unstable income stream for us, and now it was even more unstable so we started to look for something else John could do as a career. At 36, this would be no small feat...but we set out to find a better life for ourselves and our 8 children...the youngest just having been born in March of '01 and the oldest two (twins) were 16. We needed something that could be done in any city, that was stable, that my husband could see himself doing well and succeeding at.
We looked at statistics online to see what the top jobs in demand in the country were and tried to find which one would be a good match for John. Out of all of them, physician assistant was the one that seemed like the best fit, and one that John could achieve in the shortest time (not as short as we would have liked!) to get us on the road to actually making a living from this job. We found that the Army had a program available that was a 2 year school called IPAP. This would work well for us because they not only paid for your school, but they paid you a salary while going to school. This would help us to take care of our family while going to school...but John was not in the Army at the time. In fact, he had been out of the Marine Corps for about 12 years by this time and we weren't sure he could even get back into the military. So we researched more and talked and called a few people and the next thing we knew John was going into the Alabama National Guard to try to get in as a combat medic...the first step in our plan. We had seen that the highest percentage of accepted applicants to the program were combat medics...so that was how we were going to start. He still had lots of prerequisite classes to take in college and the Army would pay for those too.
So in 2002 John started back to college...the first time he had been on a college campus since he was 21. There were a LOT of younger people there, but at 37 he was determined. He worked full time for the Army Reserve (he switched from the National Guard to the Reserve because it would take too long to get his combat medic schooling in) during the day, and at night he took 12-18 credit hours of college. Class after class, test after test, semester after semester he got his prerequisites and was finally able to apply for physician assistant school.
He was accepted as an alternate the first year because he had one class he was finishing at the time the application had to be turned in, yet he was finished with it by the time the board actually met to pick the applicants. So, we had to wait to see if he would get to the top of the list. By the time the next application had to be turned in we hadn't heard anything from the program and they had changed a few of the prerequisites (which had happened along the way and prolonged our application many times)...the main one being that instead of just having an SAT test within 5 years and having a certain total score, now you had to have a minimum math score of 450; John's was 410. So, he went back and took the SAT 3 more times. 420, 440, and then finally a 460. However, his name would not be on the list for the next school year at all...not even on the alternate list. This got me quite upset, as we had worked so hard and the year before he could have been called at any time to come to school, so I did one of my normal things...I wrote a letter...to the program director. My husband was not happy with me either, I must say.
My e-mail must have touched a nerve of some sort, because the program director called me...to talk to me. He said that he would see what he could do about putting John's packet before the board...but he couldn't promise me anything. At least he heard me out, heard our story, and that made me feel much better! However our packet was sent back and we were going to have to wait another year to put one in.
Reservists were not ever allowed to be an officer and be chosen for the PA program so John always turned down offers to turn a direct commission packet in...and now he felt that he had to have an alternate plan since the PA school route looked hopeless. So in March of '07 John was commissioned as a Military Intelligence Officer and we started to think of a different path...maybe a military career instead.
Then, John said he wanted to take the family out for dinner that July. Little did I know that when John gave me a card it would tell me that I would make a great PA's wife. John had gotten a call that morning from the program manager and asked John if he was ready to go. He had a class seat open up and was giving John an opportunity to fill it. The class seat was for the August class but John felt that would be too soon for the family to get ready so we were slated to leave in December for a January '08 seat.
I had been remodeling our home in Gadsden and also doing what I could to sell that home AND the home John was using while he was in Birmingham. Since we homeschooled the children we were able to visit with John quite a bit in Birmingham while still having our home in Gadsden. When I would paint the house in Gadsden, or put down tile floors the kids would stay in Birmingham. However, this meant quite a lot to do to prepare to get to PA school in San Antonio, TX. We rolled out of Birmingham November 27th, the day we closed on the house there (Alabaster), and left the house in Gadsden to sell while we rolled out with 6 kids and our household goods.
The first year of PA school was so very hard. I liken it to getting a drink out of a fire hydrant for an entire year, with only a few occasions to take a breath. It was a daily challenge. But one I was ready to meet and I got up early every morning to make my husband breakfast so he could at least leave the house for school with a good breakfast in him and with a lunch and snack in a bag to take along as well. He got up at 4am each day and was at the school house by 7am. He was finished by 4pm or so and then went to study til 7pm when we would have family dinner. Then he went off to study til about 10 or 11 pm...and that's the way it went for the whole year pretty much.
Then we moved to Fort Benning for the second phase of training and John went through different rotations...sort of a residency time for PAs...but much faster paced than what a doctor goes through.
So, yesterday was the culmination of that 8 year journey. Now...we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
I write this while watching my 2 grandchildren play and sleep around me. Life, at this moment, is good.
I thank God for helping us through it...and I thank God for putting all sorts of people in our path...as we realize we are not without friends, family, and acquaintances that also played some part (large or small) in helping us along the way.

A photographic advertising card from Dr. Joseph C. Kalb, physician & surgeon, Henry, Illinois. 1870's I believe. From the Wright Family CDV Album.
Joseph Claybaugh Kalb was born in Madison, Franklin County, Ohio, June 30, 1831. The 1850 census lists him in the household of his parents, George and Margaret Kalb, who were farmers. Joseph was married on November 22, 1850, to Sophia Cyrena Brown. She was born in April of 1831.
Dr. Kalb graduated from Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio, circa 1855. He enlisted October 3, 1861, and became an Assistant Surgeon, commissioned as an officer in Co. S, 40th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He mustered out on January 6, 1863.
The 1870 census finds him as a physician in Henry, Marshall County, Illinois. He owned real estate valued at $300; and personal estate valued at $500. He and his wife Sophia had two children, Clinton, age 17; and Edna, age 13, both born in Ohio.
Dr. Kalb is again listed as a physician in Henry in the 1880 census. His daughter, Edna, age 22, was still a member of his household.
By 1895, Dr. Kalb was living in Canton, McPherson County, Kansas. He is listed there in the 1895 Kansas State Census and in the U.S. Census of 1900, which lists him as physician & surgeon. The 1910 census lists him in the City of McPherson, McPherson County, Kansas. He is still a physician, is now a widower, and is living in a boarding house.
Dr. Joseph Claybaugh Kalb died October 30, 1910, in St. Joseph's Infirmary, Ft. Worth, Texas, of a cerebral hemorrhage. His death certificate list him as a non-resident.

The Royal College of Physicians of London is a British professional body of doctors of general medicine and its subspecialties. It was founded in 1518 as the College of Physicians and received the royal charter in 1674 from King Henry VIII, the first medical institution in England to become a Royal College.
The College is now located in St. Andrews Place, which is at the north end of the road running up the east side of Regent's Park, Park Square East. The College building itself is notable. It was designed by architect Sir Denys Lasdun in 1964 and has since been recognised as a building of national importance: it is a Grade I listed building, one of a very select band of post-war buildings sharing this distinction. Lasdun's use of mosaic clad concrete was extremely influential on many later public buildings.
London (England/ United Kingdom).
Since its foundation in 1518, the RCP has had five headquarters in London. The current Grade I listed building in Regent’s Park was designed by architect Sir Denys Lasdun and opened in 1964. Considered a modernist masterpiece, it is one of London’s most important post-war buildings. --
