Erbe medicinali delle Alpi – Dalle erbe la salute

Lavanda – Lavanda officinalis

Habitat: zone aride montane, spontanea e coltivata.

È un’elegante pianticella cespugliosa, dai rami eretti e ramosi, che cresce spontanea e perenne nei luoghi aridi o sassosi o sui dossi bene esposti. È pure coltivata negli orti e nei giardini o anche su scala industriale per estrarne quell’essenza profumata nota ormai in tutto il mondo. Se la lavanda ci suscita cari ricordi di case ordinate e pulite, dei cassettoni delle nostre nonne nei quali la biancheria odorava di spigo, non di meno questa pianta possiede delle virtù medicinali non indifferenti.
Chi non ricorda il famoso “asedo de spic” che si preparava in primavera mettendo a macero un’abbondante manciata di fiori di spigo in un litro di aceto? Agli impacchi di questo aceto miracoloso si ricorreva per calmare un atroce mal di testa o un’improvvisa vertigine.
Ottimo anche l’olio di…

French Fridays, & Two Lessons Lupin, Ch. 7, Teaches About Trust

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     French Fridays with Lupin, Omar Sy style!

  (all in English this week, but listening,  and using the CCs for the Hard of Hearing to catch ‘swallowed’ words, is excellent practice for learning a language…)

   This episode, p2e2, should be called “When not to trust authority… ”

 

 
        Wow, 

   So,

       1.)  Assàne is right not to trust even a good-hearted police officer under the command of a bad one.

     2.)  He is also right to have a backup hiding place, even at the home of his son’s mother.

     We see that the police officer being given orders by the commissioner who is completely on the taken in the hands of the really evil bad guy, makes Assàne right: They are either all incompetent or directly or indirectly on the take. Because even our good guy fan of Lupin police officer…

The ruling on Nzinga King raises long-standing discrimination issues in Jamaica

Petchary's Blog

It has not been a good week; not for the environment (permits were issued for the mining in Cockpit Country to go ahead) – or for human rights. On Wednesday, February 9, after a wait of around seven months, our Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Paula Llewellyn announcedthat she is recommending that no criminal charges be brought against the policewoman accused of cutting the locks of a young woman in custody at Four Paths Police Station last summer. Before Nzinga King even reached the station, she had been reportedlypepper sprayed by the police inside the taxi cab she was traveling in on June 29, 2021. She may even be chargedwith public mischief, it is reported.

Nzinga King was the complainant in this matter. However, in the eyes of some local reporters (and social media observers) she might just as well have been the defendant, and been…

Love does not dominate; it cultivates. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Like a choir singing in the arms of the heart, love makes us who we are. There is a freedom of speech within the heart filled with harmony, peace beauty, courage, faith, hope, desire, and gratitude. Hold it close and never let love go.

The chance to love and be loved exists no matter where you are.~Oprah Winfrey

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. ~Lao Tzu

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. ~Maya Angelou

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. ~Khalil Gibran

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.~Zelda Fitzgerald

When we love, we always…
