Echinacea purpurea (Purple coneflower) by Priscilla Burcher

17 14

Mariefred, Sweden

Equinacea originates from North America and was employed by the indigenous Indians. Information about the use of the plant from traditional healers ranges from external application for wounds, burns and insect bites to the chewing of roots for toothache and throat infections, and internal application for pain, coughs, stomach cramps and snake bites.

The interest of white settlers was also drawn to this medicinal plant. The first Echinacea preparation, known as Meyers Blood Purifier, arrived on the market around 1880, with rheumatism, neuralgia and rattlesnake bites as indications. At the beginning of the 20th century, Echinacea was the most frequently used plant preparation in the USA.

Commercial cultivation was started in Germany around 1939. Chemists and pharmacologists became interested in Echinacea and many constituents are now known, such as polysaccharides, echinacoside, cichoric acid, ketoalkenes and alkylamides. The extracts exhibit immunostimulant properties and are mainly used in the prophylaxis and therapy of colds, flu and septic complaints.

Pls, README: dedicated to the slaves of prosopopeia, ineptitude and ignorance. Abstract digital painting by #WhiteANGEL by White Angel*On LIFE

50 65

Zoom in for a full immerson and then (or before) read me, please. (Traduzione in Italiano nel 1° commento qui sotto)

I'm actually impossibilitated to stay longer online, I'm just borrowing a tablet for a limited time until the below explained matter will be solved.

A bad admin, or, I should say worse, a malicius jerk administrating some groups with an incommensurable prosopopeia, professing his groups as the best of Flickr, (with what authority and modesty? Lol), sent an email to my mailbox injecting a bad virus: that of the ineptitude, oh my!

My doctor said I should follow a prophylaxis to avoid any contamination proscribing me to train with some new abstraction works. (I believe he means I should abstract myself from unrilevant ridiculous issues :-) There me go! This is my new abstract :-)

>>> Do you think I can be saved? Or should I sew that bad person who wrote me an amount of falsities and insults, hoping to offend me at no avail?

While Flickr is inspecting the case, especially after having had two approvals (certified by screenshots) for the same abstract, followed by two removals of the same and because he allowed himself to disrespectfully land in my profile with no permission and publicly drop lies and falsities, informing he -fakely- banned me from a group I had already left the week before as tired by his multiple unjustified incorrectnesses (this sounds a retaliation because with my free will I unjoined his elitary group!), I will post here my new preparatory abstract exercize for the attention of my Flickr Friends, contacts & visitors. It's been very relaxing making it!

Thought of the day: those who abuse of a unauthorized power, lose any credibility.

As my contacts and followers know, I'm an admin too, besides simple member in a number of groups, but I've never seen such a sociopath behaviour from the sides of an admin, asserting elitary and racist statemens on his "mythical" groups that, for him, but just for him, are the best ever on Flickr, although you should see the pool, not very much supporting his self-congratulatory position.

And, see, isn't this assertion offensive towards all the other admins and moderators of active groups who do their very best as volunteers ? Isn't this offensive for all those smart artists who decided to not join his groups ?

To tell it all, I had joined his 2/3 groups thinking that my humble works, not being a digital manipulator expert, could indeed fit in a middle, middle-mediocre group for ordinary creativity.

I tried to open his eyes, and I did also because, apart approving continuosly my submissions and then frantically removing my pics even after days with the false accusation I bypass the pending queue (ridiculous as impossible).

In particular, my pic that was heavily attacked by his comment (and 2 RRR emails = rude, redundant & racist) can be seen at this link: flic.kr/p/2oFPxRy.

I don't appreciate that admin continuously tampering me and my profile sending me a wide variety of invites to other groups, notwithstanding I regularly deny his invites and told him I don't need and don't feel like to post in those groups, but, no no, there's nothing to do in front of ignorance.

So, Friends, heads up, when someone treat you with disrespect, no matter what his/her role is, beware and possibly leave those groups that, if administrated with malpractices, rudeness and disrespect, are surely groups you don't belong.

Furthermore, the Flickr Community Guidelines assert, that a member removal can occur only just after 3 warnings and I received none, instead I received an award by the same admin who then removed my pic inventing I have overpassed the pending queue. The same admin who, while he believes to be a true digital artist, wrote me he was not able to download and visualize the PNG screenshot of my notifications proving beyond doubts that he had indeed approved my pic. Wow! A true professional! A fantasy visionary!

If similar episodes should happen to you, be aware you have the possibility to flag and report both the group and the admin responsible of bad treatments or unfair removals.

Happy new week!

Tre Cime – Guardians of the Milky Way by Stefan Zimmermann Official

554 199

The Long Road to My Photo at the Tre Cime di Lavaredo

Now comes a long story about how this photo came to be.

One and a half years ago, the idea was born. When I once again happened to see this extraordinary landscape – the Tre Cime di Lavaredo – in a documentary about the Dolomites, I was spellbound. Since my passion has always been night photography, it quickly became clear: this was the place where I wanted to capture the Milky Way. Although I had been doing deep-sky photography for more than ten years, I had never photographed the Milky Way itself. This would mark the beginning of a new passion.

At such a breathtaking location, I didn’t want to simply “take a picture” – my goal was far more ambitious: to create one of the finest Milky Way photographs to be found anywhere in the world. Admittedly, not a modest ambition… but once you stand before this scenery, you instantly understand why someone suddenly feels the urge to reach for the stars.

________________________________________

Planning and Technology

So the planning began. I needed a highly precise yet mobile and lightweight star tracker. It quickly became clear: with stacking and only 8-second exposures – meaning without tracking – combined with extremely high ISO values, I would never reach the image quality I was aiming for.

So I practiced again and again with the tracker under the light-polluted skies of my hometown: how does it react to wind? What happens with high humidity, thin clouds, or turbulence in the upper atmosphere? Every small disturbance worsens the “seeing,” and it takes a lot of experience to master these pitfalls.

Even calibrating the tracker has to be extremely precise. I measure my tripod digitally in steps of 0.1 degrees to ensure it is perfectly level – the more exact, the longer you can track. Of course, there are superb mounts available, but they are anything but portable. You don’t carry a 20-kilogram block in your backpack up to 2,600 meters on a night hike, together with all the other gear.

And then, of course, you need the brightest and sharpest lenses available. At night, every fraction of a stop counts – daylight photography is far more forgiving.

In general: the less artificial light, the clearer and more majestic the Milky Way appears. For deep-sky astrophotography, there are special filters that block man-made light pollution (for example, from cities). But the Milky Way is something entirely different: it shines across the full spectrum – from deep red to violet-blue. No filter trick works here. Any filter would also block starlight. In other words: the only “trick” is no trick at all – you simply need the darkest, most pristine skies possible.

In Europe, you can only find such conditions in a handful of places: the Dolomites, Großglockner, or La Palma (Canary Islands) – the best you can get by European standards. There are a few more, but the weather there is so unpredictable that your chances of success are even lower. The ideal is high altitude with dry, crystal-clear air.

If you want to go even further, travel to Namibia. There you’ll experience one of the most spectacular night skies anywhere: no weather problems, almost every night is perfect. The catch? Malaria. Which means daily prophylaxis with all its side effects. There’s always something, isn’t there?

If you want to get a sense yourself: on lightpollutionmap.info you can view worldwide light pollution interactively. Just one glance shows how rare truly dark places on our planet have become.

________________________________________

Milky Way Time Window

In Europe, the Milky Way can only be photographed between April and the end of August during new moon. But especially in June and July, the nights are too short and too bright – it never gets completely dark at our latitude. Effectively, there are only about three months, with a small time window of just a few days around each new moon. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, you wait until the next month.

In summer, you can look towards the center of our galaxy and see the striking dust and nebula bands. In winter, however, you’re looking “outward” into the universe – without those spectacular structures. The season is extremely short, and the chance of a cloudless sky in the Dolomites is less than 30%. The weather often remains stable for only 3–4 hours before changing – a true lottery.

________________________________________

Tre Cime: A Dream Location with Obstacles

Even during the day, at around 2,500 meters, it is breathtakingly beautiful – wherever you look, a picture-book landscape opens up. And then, right before you, the Tre Cime rise: massive rock walls soaring almost 500 meters straight up, touching the 3,000-meter mark.

But getting there is no longer so simple: you need a reservation and a ticket. Your license plate is checked already down in the valley.

The tickets are strictly limited. For our campervan, 12 hours cost €60. But the probability of stable, cloud-free weather up there is less than 30% – with just one ticket, my project would have been impossible. So I booked 6 time slots of 12 hours each, back-to-back.

Not so easy: the tickets have to connect seamlessly, with only a handful of vehicles allowed per hour. If one slot ends at, say, 4 p.m. and the next one is fully booked, you’re simply out of luck. Getting even one slot is difficult – arranging six in a row is almost impossible. And at the barrier in the valley, there is zero tolerance: even a second late at exit, and the fine is guaranteed.

For the booking itself, you get just five minutes – starting the moment you open the system, not with your final click. From finding matching slots to entering credit card details, personal data, and vehicle info, the countdown runs relentlessly. Everything that could be complicated, is complicated – as if the Dolomites didn’t already present enough natural challenges.

And as if that weren’t enough, you can only buy six tickets per month – now reduced to five.

Going up spontaneously? Forget it. Even if a slot were free, you must book digitally at least 24 hours in advance. On site or the same day? Impossible, not allowed. If you think you can just go with the weather – no chance. Here, bureaucracy rules over nature.

________________________________________

Arrival and First Setbacks

One and a half years later, the time finally came. Before the drive up, we prepared our campervan: fridge filled, toilet emptied, all batteries charged – for camera, smartphone, star tracker, heating bands against dew, and countless lamps. We were ready to last three days and nights up there.

But even if you arrive early at the barrier full of anticipation, you won’t be let in – the gates only open at the exact booked time. Then it was up in second gear, carefully winding through the serpentines. Now and then the front wheels slipped on the wet asphalt – a clear sign of just how steep it was. A motorhome weighing over four tons and 7.5 meters long is no off-roader. But at the top, on one of the highest campsites in Europe, everything was set.

Only problem: the fridge decided that at 2,500 meters it was no longer its job – even though we had filled it to the brim beforehand. Absorption fridges in RVs simply don’t work reliably on gas at this altitude. Another hard-learned lesson. Result: half of our food ended up in the trash.

The first two days: rain, wind, dense fog, temperatures around 4°C. Thanks to the heater in the camper, at least the cold was bearable – but photographically, a frustration. On the last day, though, everything changed: sunshine, clear views, amazing mood. Could it finally work out?

________________________________________

The Night of the Shoot

The hike with a backpack weighing over 12 kilos was tougher than expected – the thin air made itself felt.

That night, countless shots were taken. Many tracked 6-minute exposures of the Milky Way, which I later stacked to further improve the signal-to-noise ratio – a trick to achieve more quality than the sensor alone could deliver. I also captured the landscape separately – since with tracked stars, the foreground would blur.

And here came the next challenge: Milky Way photos require new moon and absolute darkness. Landscapes, however, look flat and monochromatic under such conditions, whereas full moon would provide plastic light. The solution: capture the landscape during blue hour or light it deliberately.

For that, I had a special lamp built – custom-made down to the last detail. I even chose the exact LED type myself, tailored precisely to my requirements for color temperature and light quality. 99% of ordinary flashlights are useless for high-quality photography: the light is usually far too cold, or the CRI index (color rendering) is too poor.

My lamp also has a zoom: the beam can be focused extremely tightly – up to 1.5 kilometers – or spread wide and soft, depending on what’s needed for light painting.

And the surprising part: from manufacturers like Convoy Flashlight in China, you can get such customized lamps for under €30. In Germany, such a service would hardly exist – and if it did, the price would make you swallow hard.

So I created exposures of up to 15 minutes while painting the rocks with light. Sometimes the right side turned out better, sometimes the left. A single perfect shot is impossible.

And then there are the famous headlamp trails – little light streaks from hikers that often give an image that extra something. The problem: at night, hardly anyone is up there. And if they are, it’s guaranteed not at the exact moment you’d need them in frame. Paradoxical, isn’t it? You want them desperately – but almost never get them when you need them. So the only option is to collect separate exposures whenever someone happens to pass.

________________________________________

The Puzzle

By the end of the night, I had about 30 shots in the bag – and darkness gave way to morning. Among them: long exposures with light painting, shots with headlamp trails, many tracked Milky Way frames, and landscapes from blue hour to deep night.

That was my raw material, my toolkit. Later I selected the best elements and merged them into a single image – like a painter who first collects sketches and then fuses them into a finished work of art.

This is the supreme discipline of photography: absolutely no fake, but impossible to achieve in a single exposure. Each frame had to be carefully developed – matching white balance and color temperatures, adjusting brightness and contrast, reducing noise, enhancing details. Sometimes the foreground stone looked better illuminated on the left, sometimes on the right. Everything had to be precisely assembled, layer by layer.

In the end, the Photoshop file grew to over a hundred layers and more than 60 gigabytes. Every little adjustment had to be carefully considered, since each change affected the entire image. The greatest challenge: blending all these different exposures into a seamless whole, without visible transitions, without an artificial impression.

To outsiders, the finished photo may look obvious – as if you had simply stood there and captured that exact moment. In reality, it meant days of work, hours of meticulous corrections, and an enormous amount of patience and technical precision.

________________________________________

Conclusion

Moments like these stay with you for a lifetime. Not just the photo itself, but the entire journey: the long preparation, the struggles, the setbacks, and finally, the success.

It’s also important to me to show with such texts that photography is not just a click. It’s an adventure – a battle with nature, technology, and yourself. Again and again, I try to surpass my previous limits. Each step makes it harder – but when it works, the moments of joy are unforgettable.

And for those who know me – of course, the next ideas are already in preparation.

Enjoy the view!

________________________________________

Making of – did you know?

With night photography something curious happens: when viewed in daylight or against a bright background, the deepest shadows often “stick together,” making the landscape look darker than it really is.

The trick is not to leave black at absolute zero, but to raise it ever so slightly – the sweet spot is around 2–3 out of 255 brightness levels. This way, fine structures remain visible even in bright surroundings.

It’s the same little secret used by film and streaming studios to keep images stable across every kind of screen.

As you can see – nothing here is left to chance.

Scientific Sweet Spot for Night Photos

To balance depth and readability across all devices, researchers and industry standards recommend placing the darkest tones in a narrow “sweet spot.” My photo was fine-tuned exactly to these values:

Percentile (how many pixels are darker)Recommended rangeScientific midpointMy photo

5% darkest pixels2–3 / 255~2.5 / 2553

25% darkest pixels6–10 / 255~8 / 2558

Median (50% of all pixels)12–20 / 255~16 / 25515–16

How to read this:

The percentile tells you what fraction of pixels are darker than a certain brightness.

Example: “5% darkest pixels = 3” means the very darkest areas are not pitch black, but lifted just enough to remain visible.

The goal: sit right at the scientific midpoint, so the photo works equally well on OLED at night and on laptops or phones in bright daylight.

Friendly reminder: Ticks can still be active in winter. by deanspic

8 18

A case I detected yesterday, an elderly man who didn’t even know the tick was on his arm when I was checking his blood pressure. Apparently he was gardening a week ago and likely caught it then. This deer tick fully engorged and risks spreading Lyme disease. After fully removing it he was prescribed prophylactic Doxycycline 200 mg one dose that prevents the infection. Even in winter when the temperature is above 3 Celsius, the ticks are active and can bite. Northern New York State and Southeastern Ontario are endemic for ticks that carry the bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi.

Fermiamo l'Aids sul nascere

Aiutaci a fermare l'AIDS. Fai nascere la Vita.

La grande campagna Cesvi per vincere l'AIDS in Africa.

In Africa, una futura mamma su tre è sieropositiva e rischia di trasmettere la morte e non la vita al suo bambino.

La cura per salvarlo però esiste e fa parte del progetto "Fermiamo l'AIDS sul nascere".

Dal 2001 pratichiamo in Zimbabwe una terapia per evitare il contagio da madre a figlio attraverso un programma di prevenzione, cura farmacologica, assistenza alimentare e psicologica.

Negli ultimi 4 anni il Cesvi ha fatto passi da gigante in Zimbabwe: 2.000 bambini fuori pericolo di contagio, 40.000 donne sono state sottoposte al test Hiv e seguite con appoggio psicologico durante gravidanza, parto e allattamento; 1.450 operatori sanitari formati e oltre 300.000 persone coinvolte in incontri di prevenzione e informazione.

L'intervento Cesvi è oggi attivo in 7 ospedali e 17 cliniche rurali dello Zimbabwe e poi in Sudafrica, Repubblica Democratica del Congo e Uganda.

I progetti Cesvi di lotta all'Aids nell'Africa Australe, non riguardano solo la prevenzione del contagio madre-figlio ma anche la prevenzione della diffusione del virus, la cura dei soggetti già affetti ed il supporto sociale ai malati e agli orfani dell'Aids.

In particolare in Uganda l'attenzione è concentrata sull'attività di sensibilizzazione lla prevenzione e di testing volontario della popolazione che, nel 2007, ha riguardato circa 100.000 persone.

Ma tutto ciò non basta di fronte ai numeri della catastrofe africana: le persone contagiate dall'Hiv sono 33,2 milioni, di cui 15,4 milioni donne.

2,1 milioni sono stati i decessi nel mondo per Aids e malattie collegate, di cui 330 mila bambini.

Il tasso di donne affette da HIV è in aumento in tutte le regioni africane e nell'Africa sub-sahariana tocca il 61% più che in qualsiasi area. Come sottolineato dal direttore generale dell'OMS, Margaret Chan, il vasto contagio delle donne rende questa tragedia ancora più grave, poichè esse costituiscono la spina dorsale delle famiglie e delle comunità.

>>>>>HIV, Pregnancy, Maternal and Child health<<<<<<

It has been estimated that 1.5 million HIV positive women become pregnant every year, which means that about 600,000 children are infected every year by vertical transmission. The figures from selected pre-natal clinics in urban areas reveal an incidence of HIV among pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa of over 25%. In 2005, in LHDIC (Low Human Development Index Countries) only 9% of pregnant HIV-positive women received an antiretroviral prophylaxis to prevent transmission of the virus to their children, a modest increase of 3% compared with 2003. In these countries infection is associated with an increased risk of: spontaneous miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, premature labour, premature rupture of membranes, urogenital infections, syphilis. In industrialized countries the incidence of vertical transmission of the virus has fallen to minimal levels, as low as 2%, thanks to the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, the use of Caesarean section, and artificial feeding. In Africa, instead, where these operations are not widespread and not always available and where breastfeeding for long periods is normal, the vertical transmission of the virus is still around 25 to 40%.

PMTCT (Prevention Mother to Child Transmission) and PPTCT PLUS (Parental Prevention to Child Transmission)

Vertical transmission can occur at various stages: during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding. In LHDIC the prevention of vertical transmission by seropositive mothers is achieved through diverse interventions including:

- Services to promote maternal and infant health (pre- and postnatal).

- Counselling and testing services. - Promotion of alternatives to breastfeeding and/or early interruption of the same.

- Optimized and non invasive obstetric procedures - Preventive antiretroviral therapy for the mother and child.

- Antimalarial prophylaxis, since it has been demonstrated to reduce vertical transmission.

It is important to guarantee all women access to counselling and to VCT (Voluntary Counselling Testing).

The breastfeeding stage is the most delicate and difficult to deal with. The WHO estimates that 94% of children in the world are breastfed. 79% continue to one year and 52% up to two years. Breastfeeding over six months is common in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia. Without antiretroviral prophylaxis or other effective intervention to prevent the vertical transmission of HIV, breastfeeding that extends for two years or more can increase the risk of transmission of HIV by about 40%. About 5 to 20% of infants are infected in the post-natal period and the risk increases progressively with the duration of breastfeeding. However, the alternative to breastfeeding, artificial feeding, is recommended only where it is easy to guarantee the supply of powdered milk and clean drinking water. In LHDIC artificial feeding may lead to the development of very serious problems. Bearing in mind that regarding breastfeeding there are no unanimous and general recommendations and that every intervention depends on the operative context, it is advisable to abide by the strategies proposed by the Ministry of Health in each individual country, which in turn are derived from general recommendations of the WHO.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.

Back Story .........................................

Lots of things have been going on around here.

Sometimes I zip out to the monkey temple in the

afternoon just to do a resupply for the nuns & monks.

Mamas skin problem seems to holding it's own and I've

made plans to take her in again on Thursday to see the

dog doctor.

Medical issues have put my normal schedule in a disarray.

Tomorrow is Wednesday and the dog doctor is always

closed on that day.The only day a week he takes off.

Point is that's why Mama is going to see him on Thursday.

From what I've been told the population of primates out here

has risen from 2000 to somewhere around 3000 . I've noticed

a tremendous amount of mother monkeys with babies on board.

Rabies is still an issue around Thailand and if it comes to the

monkey temple we'll have a huge problem to deal with !

The dogs all have their rabies shots and are now going

through their yearly booster program .

This inserted news article is about rabies in Thailand......................

Rabies is still an unresolved public health problem in Thailand. Approximately 300 cases of human rabies have been reported annually (Table 1) [1]. This number, however, is generally accepted to be under recorded. Half of the patients are below 15 years of age (Table 2). Rabies deaths have been reported all year round with slight increment in number during summer. For post-exposure prophylaxis against rabies, each year, about 80,000 people are treated at the health authority services throughout the country [2]. An underestimated number of patients have visited private clinics for the same purposes without any record.

Remember some time back I too was taking rabies shots ..;-(

Anyway for some good news, on the way home I purchased

3 kilos of fresh, sweet, organically grown mangoes...............;-)

Thank You.
