The dream of achieving manned trips and enabling human settlements on other planets is about to come true. Mars is the planet chosen to present environmental conditions more similar to Earth, several space agencies have developed projects around this theme.
There are many obstacles that should be overcome to achieve this dream, some of them would be:
- Facing the effects of exposure to cosmic radiation, ionizing radiation, low gravity, and low luminosity.
- Facing the high cost of carrying out the project, considering years of trial, since the benefits generated will not be short term.
- Overcoming technological obstacles to travel, in particular having the energy to travel with people on board, and generate oxygen and water for human consumption and providing support services to the crew, especially medical services.
Regarding this, private companies have started a race to develop new human-rated vehicles, being the NASA's Commercial Crew program as both a SpaceX and Boeing those who compete to become the first company to launch astronauts to the International Space Station.
This video shows the advances of both companies in the manufacture of spacecraft to guarantee the safety of the crew and therefore the success of this long-awaited project.
SpaceX has been developing the Dragon 2 or Crew Dragon whilst Boeing has been developing the CST-100 Starliner. This video focuses primarily on showing the development of SpaceX's Crewed Dragon because Boeing's Starliner program whilst making progress has been comparatively quiet on public updates.
On February 2017 SpaceX announced that it had been authorized to fly two citizens on a trip around the Moon late next year and it thanked NASA's Commercial Crew Program for providing most of the funding for Dragon 2 development. SpaceX announced that the Falcon Heavy rocket, which was developed with internal SpaceX funding was due to launch its first test flight this summer and, once successful, would be the greatest and powerful vehicle to reach orbit after the Saturn V Moon rocket. At 5 million pounds of liftoff thrust, Falcon Heavy is two-thirds the thrust of Saturn V and more than double the thrust of the next largest launch vehicle currently flying.
SpaceX said: "As a portion of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, we are going to present our Crew Dragon Version 2 spacecraft to the International Space Station. This first demonstration assignment will be in automatic mode, without people on board. A subsequent mission with the crew is expected to fly in the second quarter of 2018. SpaceX is now contracted to achieve an average of four Dragon 2 missions to the ISS per year, three carrying cargo and one carrying crew. By also flying privately crewed missions, which NASA has encouraged, long-term costs to the government decline and more flight reliability history is gained, benefiting both government and private missions."
At the same time, SpaceX commented that each successfully completed mission would lead them to their ultimate goal, which was simply to transport humans to Mars with the security provided by their long flight heritage.

World No.1 Rafael Nadal was on hand Friday afternoon to help make the 2018 Rogers Cup presented by National Bank draw at Bisha Hotel in downtown Toronto. "I'm very excited to come back to Toronto," said Nadal, who is playing here for the first time since 2010. "[My win here in] 2008 was so special, because that victory [helped] me reach world No.1 for the first time. I've missed this tournament many more times because of tough injuries, so I'm looking forward to be back at a tournament that I love."
The three-time Rogers Cup champion will face the winner of Benoit Paire versus a qualifier on Wednesday night at the Aviva Centre.
The official draw ceremony for the 2018 edition of Rogers Cup took place at the Bisha Hotel in downtown Toronto and contains 19 of the top 20 players in the world. Canadian No.1 and 2017 Rogers Cup semifinalist Denis Shapovalov (Richmond Hill, ON) will start his campaign on Tuesday night against Jeremy Chardy, who he defeated in the first round of this year's Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic will play Hyeon Chung in a mouth-watering first round encounter of the tournament. Djokovic, who is fresh off the back of winning his fourth Wimbledon title, was defeated by the South Korean in the fourth round at this year's Australian Open and will be hoping to avenge that loss as he bids for a fifth Rogers Cup title in Tuesday's day session on Centre Court.
In an all-Canadian Aviva Opening Night on Monday, August 6, Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) will face world No.11 David Goffin of Belgium. Rising star Felix Auger-Aliassime (Montreal, QC) will also make his Rogers Cup main draw debut against world No.19 Lucas Pouille. The 17-year-old Canadian will be bidding for just his fourth ATP Tour-level victory when he takes on the Frenchman for the first time.
Vasek Pospisil (Vancouver, BC) will be looking to exact revenge on Borna Coric when the two face off in the first round in Toronto. World No.21 Coric defeated the Canadian in four sets in the Davis Cup first round earlier this year in their only previous meeting. Peter Polansky (North York, ON) will face Australian Matthew Ebden.
Three-time champion Andy Murray has opted not to take his wildcard after withdrawing from the Citi Open in Washington with fatigue.
"Sadly I won't be able to take my place in the draw in Toronto," said Murray. "I'd like to thank the tournament for a wild card, I always love playing in Canada but I've played quite a few matches this week in Washington and I need to be smart with my rest and recovery as I come back from injury."
Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, himself coming back from an injury last year, takes up Murray's main draw wild card and faces Australian Nick Kyrgios in another blockbuster first round clash.
Defending champion Alexander Zverev is on the opposite side of the draw as Nadal as the No.2 seed, while Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro is seeded third. Grand Slam champion Marin Cilic, Wimbledon runner-up Kevin Anderson as well as the always-dangerous Grigor Dimitrov and Dominic Thiem also help to make a stacked men's field.

Hot cross muffins, a little lighter than the buns, and a great twist on the Easter tradition.
Home made hot cross buns and Easter egg mousse cups.
As well as some Easter treaties you can purchase from around town.
I bought a huge bunch of bananas the moment I read they were to triple in price thanks to cyclone Yasi. The last time a cyclone (Larry) hit Queensland, my mum didn't buy us bananas at all. You never know how much you miss something until it's taken away from you, or becomes too expensive!
Another recipe from the latest BBC Australian Good Food magazine. I'll admit, this is from the "helping kids to cook" section, but it looked and sounded so good I had to give it a go. I almost didn't cook the banana as I was having a case of the can't be fudged-s, and I thought

What to do when you have 4 sad looking bananas in your fruit bowl and nothing to do on a Sunday? You invite you boyfriend around to watch Seinfeld and bake! Got to use my new muffin cases I got from Cake Deco during the week. We tried them when they were still warm and
Well I was plan on pad-thai-ing it up this week but my boy was too sick to come over for my mid-week cooking so I thought I'd change my plans. I made a sweet potato and pancetta risotto, which looked and tasted like the infamous clag! So needless to say I'm NOT posting picture or

Optimized Trading
This message is directed towards clients who have recently experienced Two losing positions on (03/05 & 03/20) while trading one of our ES programs. These two losing positions was due to Two separate technical issues from our distributor, which caused two significant slippage incidents of 11 tick slippage & 15 tick slippage. Under normal conditions, the strategy would have closed both positions with a small profit. This unfortunately negatively effected your Profit/Loss, but also our strategic performance metrics. We immediately contacted our distributor, after each incident, and they promptly identified & resolved both technical issues.

Many publishers will know that building strong relationships with your audience and making the user experience as personalised as possible are becoming more and more important these days, especially as the digital publishing market becomes ever more competitive. However, many publishers struggle to do this for anonymous visitors, which becomes a significant issue when you consider that over 98% of website visits are anonymous.
You can sum up how to convert anonymous visitors to subscribers in just one word – data. In order for you to effectively sell your content, you need to know who you're selling it to. Without using data to build a profile and analyse the behaviour of said visitor, you can't have a good enough idea of who your visitor is to try and sell to them. According to a white paper by Cxense, '…(if) you give your online users what they want… they will return to your site more often, be more engaged with your content and buy more products and/or services.'
Before you can start to personalise what you provide to the reader, you need to have a basic profile about their online activities. From this, you can gain a surprisingly good indication of what sort of person your anonymous visitor is.
But how can you do this from knowing absolutely nothing about the person? Looking at second or even third party data is a good place to start (what sort of content they read on other websites, and what the visitor's broad background and demographics are). While this won't give you enough information to start selling or fully personalise their reading experience, it can give you an indication of what sort of content they could potentially be interested in reading, particularly if you compare the anonymous reader's demographics to those who have similar in your database.
At this point, you should have a rough idea of the visitor's background courtesy of the anonymous user profile that has been created, but aren't fully sure exactly why they are expecting from your content. This is where data becomes really essential. You can very quickly find out:
The ability to analyse the anonymous user's behaviour in real time is the only way you can confidently predict what the user's intentions are, and thus know exactly how best to personalise that particular user's experience.
There is little point in collecting all the data on what the anonymous visitor likes to read and do on your site if you are going to do nothing with it. Furthermore, people are not going to subscribe (or even return) to your site if they're not 100% certain that their experience will be tailored in some way to them. Therefore, developing a relationship with anonymous visitors by constantly personalising their experience with appropriate content, ads and (eventually) offers in real time is of paramount importance.
Now forgive me for backtracking slightly, but while it is undoubtedly essential to gather data and personalise the anonymous user's experience accordingly, it is also just as essential not to personalise the experience and try and sell your subscription to the user too quickly. The idea of personalisation is to gradually develop a relationship with the user, and if they see a fully personalised page on their first visit to your site, it is easy to see why some would begin to feel a little uneasy. The same goes for trying to sell straight away, many find it very off-putting if you are confronted with a sign-up form on your first visit.
The personalisation phase is probably the hardest to get right. It can take time for a good enough relationship to develop with the anonymous user so that you can feel comfortable stating the benefits of a subscription to them without them being put off.
Publishers don't find it easy to convert anonymous visitors to paying subscribers, and the reasons why are completely understandable. To effectively act on the data you gather in real time is difficult. This is where Evolok's expertise comes in. Real time personalisation and segmentation is a feat that very few organisations are able to boast in their arsenal, and the ability to do this opens a whole plethora of potential avenues for your marketing efforts.

Would you please come…?
Moose Camp 2019 is in the review mirror. I will finally have the time to look at all the amazing pictures that our photographer Mary took during camp. I tend to put it off because it is kind of emotional for me. So much work goes into putting on the camp. I feel emotionally invested in each person who comes to camp. Our one on one PEP talks with each camper tends to do that to you. I hear your stories, hopes and ideas for what you want to achieve at camp and also dreams for your clown future.
This year we launched the Red Nose Reader program at camp.
It exceeded my expectations with 21 people signing up on the spot. They cleared their background checks and took home their shirts, Charter Member Pins, performance totes, membership cards and certificates! We are getting more memberships and are up to 36 Red Nose Readers from coast to coast! I will be teaching RNR at the Texas Clown Assoc. convention Wed. Sept. 25thin Fort Worth.
Needless to say it all takes a lot of planning. Without a plan you get nowhere. Remember I am the queen of the harebrained scheme! I rarely look before I leap. Thankfully I have friends to help me. So what about you? What do you want to accomplish as a clown in the upcoming year? Clowns complain that they have no one local to clown with. Ok what are you going to do about it?
When you clown do you have a business card to hand out? This way you can keep in touch with other folks who may be interested in getting into clowning or having you at their event? Volunteers need cards too! Vistaprint.com has amazing sales. I just got my Red Nose Reader business cards for 50% off!
Use your Facebook for something other than posting pictures of your food! Let folks know what events you are going to BEFORE you go! Why not invite folks to go with you? They don't need to be in clown. Let them be an assistant. You never know who might just need that little nudge to encourage them to clown up with you. Sometimes all it takes is an invitation!
Are you a Red Nose Reader? This is a meaningful venture. When people hear that I am going into schools to read to kids, promoting kindness and literacy they say, "that sounds like fun, I would like to do THAT!" It is part of the reason I need cards! I hope to get more people interested in clowning this year through Red Nose Reader.
Invite someone to your clown club meeting. Make it a point to have a visitor at each meeting. If you bring someone be sure it is worth going to! Have someone show 1 new balloon, one new face paint design, one new magic trick or walk around bit. Our club is trying to incorporate more rehearsing of skits into our meeting. We do a lot of shows at nursing homes in the winter, some shows in the summer too. It is time for us to work on our show. It is so easy to get side tracked with visiting that nothing really fun happens. Do your rehearsals or education first! Then save the last part of the meeting for the boring stuff. I belong to a business group that requires a number of visitors each year. Good idea! That's how we get members!
Have a fun and games night instead of a regular meeting. Kind of like an open house. See what fun things you could plan. "Clown for a night!" Have a costume ready and be able to put someone in make-up. Use face paints if you are not comfortable putting grease on someone. It makes for an easier clean up too. Teach them some simple skits, or how to make a balloon animal. Once they see how much fun it is it could easier than you think to get members.
No one is going to come to you and say, "Hey I want to be a clown." You have to plan for it.
Another way to stay energized is to come to Moose Camp. That's right. My campers tell me they make great friends from all over the country and stay connected through social media. This year I gave all the campers a reset button.
Everyone could use a reset! Sometimes we get into a rut. Moose Camp is the perfect place to recharge batteries, learn a new skill, make new friends, and have the laugh of a lifetime!
How many times do you think I hear folks say, "someday I'll get to Moose Camp, it's on my bucket list."?
All. The. Time.
The folks that make it to camp, plan for it. Why not you? Sign up now for the biggest discounts!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from this year! Just think, next year this could be you.

When it comes to lounging around or working out, I break out the old T-shirts stashed in my closet.
Taking a look at some of them, jeez, the actually are old!
When i went to college, it seemed like every organization, from the football team to the fraternities, was selling T-shirts door-to-door on campus. Usually $10 a pop, they made fashion statements at school and gave those back home a glimpse of what area youths had gotten themselves into on the collegiate level.
I used to love wearing my college football T's to high school football games when I went home on the weekends. My freshman year the team made its way to the NCAA Division III championship, so bragging rights were in order (OK, they lost, but second best in the nation among Division III schools isn't anything to scoff at).
Then there are some that became a part of my wardrobe post-college: the Splash Mountain T-shirt I proudly purchased in 1997 at Disney World that boasts a dripping-wet Mickey Mouse on the front and "The Top 3 Lies" after riding the water coaster ("I wasn't scared; I didn't scream; I did not get wet!") on the back; the 25th anniversary Disney World T from the same trip; and a 2003 Republican-Herald Relay for Life T-shirt for participating in the American Cancer Society's annual event in Pottsville.
The first two are now 15 years old. Really? The second one is nine years old, and I'll add that I wore it while pregnant with my daughter. Yes, time is certainly a-flying.
Looking back nine years ago as a new mom at home with a newborn, some of those T-shirts from the college days came in handy — keeping up with baby's unpredictable schedule those first few weeks, combined with the unfortunate dealings with baby spit-up and spills.
Sometimes these shirts become nightshirts for my daughter, and she doesn't mind a bit. Of course, she'll sometimes point out that they are older than she is, but that's OK. I look at it as a little bit of mommy's memories taking on new life!

Making it "social media official" is a big step in the modern relationship. What used to be referred to as "going steady" is now replaced by an Instagram post confirming your new relationship status. One of the biggest signs that something may not be right in a relationship, is a partner's refusal to acknowledge you on their profiles. (Of course, it may be completely fine, but on the other hand it could be a red flag.)
But what happens if you see the person you're supposed to be seeing on someone else's profile? Naturally, you'd want answers. It could be an old picture, or it could be a real problem. With the brilliant help of Twitter detectives, this woman was able to discover the truth.

Creating An Expository Essay: 10 Strong Thesis Statement Examples
The purpose of an expository essay is to introduce and explain a new topic to the readers. If you are assigned to create this type of paper, you will need to pay special attention to your thesis statement. It should be clear and exact. If your thesis isn't strong, your whole paper will nit be taken seriously.
Here are some samples of good thesis statements for this kind of essay:
- Lentils include many nutrients that are important for your health.
- In order to make good wedding pictures, one needs to prepare beforehand.
- The Statue of Liberty is the poster sign of American democracy.
- Religious persecution carried out by the members of Spanish Inquisition used torture to get confessions out of the suspects.
- The Boston Tea Party was a significant act of civil disobedience that played an important part in the history of America.
- The invention of the Internet changed the modes of communication all over the world and allowed for globalization to progress.
- Steam engines allowed people to travel much faster, which immediately reflected on business and led to the establishment of many new settlements.
- The free time of an average high school student is spent studying, surfing the Web, and socializing.
- Removing standardized tests from school curriculum will have positive effect on children and their studies.
- College students get too much homework.
The most important requirement you have to consider when developing a thesis statement for an expository paper is logic. The claim you make must not be outlandish or extreme. Remember, it's not an opinion that you should present in this paper but a fact. Your research must supply you with some rock solid evidence to support this claim. Therefore, you should never use the words like "I suppose", "I believe", or "I guess".
You also shouldn't use emotional epithets, like "most important", "unjust", "imperative", etc. They add an emotional hue to the statement that should be based on logic and evidence. These words actually make your thesis sentence weaker, which will reflect on the way the readers perceive your work.
Even if the research you present in the paper will be excellent, your audience can be prejudiced against is after reading a weak thesis statement. It's never a good idea to embellish an academic paper with epithets as they take the edge off the evidence you present. The only exception to this rule is narrative essays where creating a vivid picture is one of your main objectives.

Must Know: Nifty GUI Concepts
Nifty GUIs are made up of the following elements:
A Nifty GUI contains one or more screens.
Only one screen is visible at a time.
Name the first screen
start. Name any others whatever you like.
Screen are controlled by a Java Controller class.
A screen contains one or more layers.
Layers are containers that impose alignment on their contents (vertical, horizontal, or centered)
Layers can overlap (z-order), and cannot be nested.
A layer contains panels.
Panels are containers that impose alignment on their contents (vertical, horizontal, or centered)
Panels can be nested, and cannot overlap.
A panel contains images, text, or controls (buttons, etc).

Here is a good explanation of why a factual and maths based approach works best in problem solving and getting stuff done!
"What is mathematical biology?
It is easy to get lost in the details and idiosyncrasies of biology. Understanding molecular structures and how systems work on a cellular level is important, but this alone will not tell us the whole science story. To achieve this we have to develop our insight and understanding more broadly, and use this to make predictions. Mathematics allows us to do this.
Just as we would develop an experiment to test a specific idea, we can use mathematical equations and models to help us delve into biological complexity. Mathematics has the unique power to give us insight in to the highly complex world of biology. By using mathematical formulas to ask questions, we can test our assumptions. The language and techniques of mathematics allow us to determine if any predictions will stand up to rigorous experimental or observational challenge. If they do not, then our prediction has not accurately captured the biology. Even in this instance there is still something to be learned. When an assumption is proven wrong it still improves our understanding, because we can rule that particular view out, and move on to testing another.
What science does this specialism enable – any studies that stand out, or that you are particularly proud of?
Developing a numerate approach to biology allows us to explore, what at face value, might be very different biologies. For instance, the dynamics of cells, the dynamics of diseases or the behaviour of animals. The specialism allows us to use a common framework to seek understanding. The studies that stand out in my mind are those where we can develop a mathematical approach to a problem, and then challenge it with rigorous, quality experiments and/or observation. This doesn't have to happen in the same piece of work but working to achieve a greater understanding is critical to moving the science forward."

Being Appreciative
Steven Covey wrote in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" that "Next to physical survival, the greatest need of a human being is psychological survival: to be understood, to be affirmed, to be validated, to be appreciated."
Research suggests, in fact, that the most successful relationships have a ratio of at least 5 appreciations to every 1 criticism. The prevailing parenting advice when my kids were little included the suggestion to "catch" your kids being "good." We are quick to reprimand and correct when we observe them doing something inappropriate; but are we a bit less likely to give them praise for any of the million things they do well?
In fact, criticism can do real damage to a relationship, but appreciations benefit everyone—kids, significant others, friends, co-workers, even strangers. Imagine giving (and receiving) five spoken positive pieces of feedback for every one critical message!
In their article, "3 Ingredients to Mastering Appreciations," Heath and Nicole Reed suggest that this practice is life changing, and recommend these three tips for making your mindful positive attention more effective:
- Keep it Brief. A one-sentence appreciation is more impactful than gushing on and on.
- Speak Unarguably. Avoid hyperbole and focus instead on how you were impacted by the other person. For example, someone telling me, "That was the best massage ever!" is not as helpful as "I have less pain and so much more range of motion since you worked on my shoulder."
- Be specific. Overgeneralizing is ambiguous—what does "You saved the day!" really mean? It's better to say "I'm so relieved and happy that you're helping me with this."
The best appreciations, the Reeds say, "Focus on the inner nature, or essence of a person, like their integrity, patience, kindness, honesty, and how you were positively impacted."
And there's one person you must not forget to appreciate—YOU! We are usually our own worst critic, and that self-criticism is just as damaging as anything we might say to someone else. How much better to share appreciations with ourselves, at the same 5:1 ratio?!
Here's the Reeds' challenge: for one week, choose to start your day with appreciations about yourself. Say them out loud, maybe standing in front of a mirror. They have these suggestions for each day:
Day 1. Make contact with yourself and say, "I appreciate me." Literally touch your face or give yourself a hug or put your hands over your heart and say "I appreciate ME" out loud.
Day 2. I appreciate my skill in ____________ (feel free to mention more than one skill!)
Day 3. Qualities I see and appreciate about me are __________ (this can be anything—be generous with yourself!)
Day 4. I appreciate how much I enjoy ____________ (what are your interests and hobbies and favorite things?)
Day 5. I see and appreciate my body, especially my ___________ (even if our body isn't perfect, we can appreciate some aspect[s] of our physical selves)
Day 6. I appreciate how I love to discover _____________ .
Day 7. I appreciate how I easily communicate about _____________ .
This challenge is for one week, but the greater challenge is to switch gears when our inner critic shows up, and use appreciations to focus on what is "right" with us, rather than what is "wrong."
Your inner child is still in there. Catch her or him doing something "good," just like I was advised to do with my old children 20+ years ago. I then tell yourself, "I appreciate you!"

Adventures in a city meadowRead Now
Valerian and mallow Me, hedge mustard & Black horehound Bird's foot trefoil
Adventures in a city meadow
Where the hedgerow meets the meadow, a glow of bunched yellow spurges gave food to a masquerade of colourful insects speaking of a wooded past. Once I drifted through the threshold of spurges I was initiated into the golden delights of a city meadow.
Agrimony, ragwort and bird's foot trefoil competed with ox-tongue, hawkbits and hawkweeds.
Clambering up through them were purple vetches, restharrow and everlasting peas. The spear thistle and exuberant lush foliage of knapweed offered a stately presence whilst huge white trumpet flowers of greater bindweed sounded out with colour matched with the subtler trumpets striped pink and white of the field bindweed.
On its edges flowering valerian, mallow, bedstaw, crane and storks bill overflowed with the joy of beauty. I knew noon had past for the plant jack by the noon had gone to sleep.
I acquainted myself with over 50 species in this single city meadow, a welcome message to green our concrete jungles. Ah, time in nature is well-spent.

Lime- Tree of mysteryRead Now
Lime trees at Bradfield Woods
Lime - Tree of Mystery
In this article we will explore the Lime tree.
For a more detailed exploration visit the Tree Folklore Course and support valuable Conservation work.
I remember my first encounter with the small- leaved lime tree ( Tilia Cordata) in the ancient woods known as Bradfield Woods in Suffolk, one of the most continually managed woods in Britain and also one of the most biodiverse.
The lime coppice characteristically spreads out whilst still young and then somehow straightens itself up as it matures, the rings on its wood grow unevenly and some years do not form at all! Although it has soft wood that is not durable it has an astonishing ability to survive in shade even growing under the dense canopy of oak. Often the lime tree is prone to rot and therefore is short lived and yet has a tenacious habit of suckering. As a coppice it seems to live indefinitely with examples of huge stools over a thousand years old.
A magic seems to feel the air where this species grows, a light graceful aura permeates the wood. Its dense canopy is lightened by its blueish heart-shaped leaves which distinguish it from the more common species of Tilia x europaea. Fossilised remains of the species Ernoporus tiliae, the bast bark beetle and studies of palynology confirm this tree dominated the South of England in early times only giving way to Alder in wetter regions and yet it is one of the least recorded trees in history and is now absent from Scotland, Ireland and much of Southern England. This indicates the continued management and planting of this tree was not essential and as it rarely seeds once destroyed it sadly does not regenerate.
Lime wood is most famously used for wood carving and in piano- making and is also known in the furniture industry. Its wood is soft and not hard wearing so is only rarely used in buildings. The wood is present in Neolithic structures such as the sweet track which although brings evidence of its existence it is likely our ancestors utilised any wood available rather than because of its merits.
One of the most known areas of Lime would have been around Lyndhurst which means 'Lime Wood' and when we discover woods or references with the name 'bass' in it this is referring to the use of the lime tree's phloem layer to create rope. This material would have been used to hold medieval scaffold poles together but unlikely to have competed well against the 1500 year old cannabis industry which produced high quality material.
What then of the folklore of the mysterious lime tree? Baltic folklore connects the tree to the goddess of fate and there are several stories in Greek mythology of goddesses taken the form of the lime tree.
Throughout Europe the tree quite understandably is associated with the joys of spring and especially in Germany with love, justice and unearthing the truth. In Europe it certainly seems to be an exalted and celebrated as tree of sacred stature.
But what of its associations in British folklore? Surely its heart- shaped leaves, soft wood and useful bark speak of a goddess of love and joy? When in July bees swam to its nectar-filled flowers surely our ancestors would have associated it with delightful other-worldly places?
And yet in Celtic lore, historical records and folk stories we draw a blank, the folk song Linden lea at leasts mentions this delightful tree.
Maybe the lime tree is a secret love unfolding in the heart of a ruined wildwood landscape waiting to captivate and awaken a sweet gentle quality once more?
As I leave Bradfield woods and note the exquisite flora, the graceful lime trees and the rare oxslips growing beneath their canopy I reflect on its associations with primulas which seem to favour this tree.
Shakespeare said primulas 'die unmarried' this is due to the flowers early arrival, flowering at a time unnoticed by the pollinators. The lime also stands unnoticed, felled early in wildwood times when we as a race wanted to tame the landscape.
Maybe now the few ancient stands of the lime tree speak of a bereft mother pinning for the more peaceful times when people lived in harmony with nature?

tormentils- 'little roses'Read Now
Creeping cinquefoil Tormentil
Tormentil- 'little roses'
In June the roses start to flower decorating the hedgerows. The rose family (Rosaceae) is a large family which includes many trees and shrubs and also consists of the delicate plants known as tormentils.
Amongst the short grass a beautiful yellow rose appears that lifts the spirit, sometimes upright and at other times sprawling these plants add a patch of gold to the green sward.
The three main species you are likely to see in June are:
Tormentil Potentilla erecta- This delightful species has usually less leaflets than the trailing species ( at least 3) is almost unstalked with thread-like stems which never root. Most likely to be on more acid soils.
Trailing Tormentil Potentilla anglica- This species is slightly larger with runners rooting only in late summer. More stalked leaves with 3-5 leaflets.
Creeping Cinquefoil Potentilla reptans - This species is not so delicate, coarse with far reaching runners with palmate leaves on long stalks, this species you will find in more man-made habitats and sparsely grassy places.
To this species list we can add silver weed with its distinctive silvery pinnate leaves low to the ground, the yellow flowered strawberry with dry tasteless strawberry-type fruits, specialist species of cinquefoils, the strawberry, herb bennet, argrimony and salad burnet. A wonderful array of plants adorning our grasslands.
The potentilla species are often plants which soothe our intestine, stomach and throats the most famous being the herb bennet which will be explored separately.

In this article we shall explore the delightful clover which is now in full flower and a delight to the insects.
If you would like to stay in touch with our articles on tree and plant folklore subscribe for free HERE
Clover is a wonderful feature of our meadows and indeed many grass areas both in the countryside and urban areas. It is one of the first plants to produce the 'main flow' nectar for bees and other invertebrates after the Dandelion and Sycamore have finished flowering. Its delicate scent attracts long-tongued flies, butterflies, moths and as already mentioned bees. Once the flowers have been fertilised they fold down over their young pods and the flower untouched, still standing, is referred to as an old maid.
Both the leaves and flowers of this plant can be eaten unless it is high in prussic acid which makes it bitter and unsuitable for consumption. It can also be used as a green compost for vegetable growers as it is able to fix nitrogen and therefore enrich the soil. Organic farmers ( and indeed other growers) simply dig or rotavate the plant back into the soil. It is also good animal fodder.
As a herb Clover flowers are traditionally used as a syrup for coughs especially whopping cough and help to purify the blood. To help relieve bronchial or irritating coughs a brew of flowers can be made by steeping them in hot water for about 8 minutes and it tastes great! It is also been said to be good for liver ailments and smoked in a pipe for toothache. Today we tend to use the red clover for medicinal cures although other species can also be used.
Clover is steeped in folklore, a candidate for the Irish Shamrock or Seamrog. This mythical plant brings great fortune to all who use it and either is thought to be the white clover or more likely the lesser trefoil (Latin).
It seems to be the quantity of leaves borne on clover which dictates its magical use.
Poetry of flowers
Join me to explore the flora of the British Isles on this blog. My intention is to attempt to capture the unique quality and beauty of each species of flower, tree or shrub. For every species featured I will be growing many more wildflowers to celebrate the joy of their existence, their intrinsic conservation value and bewildering array of uses. For nearly 30 years I have noted, studied and explored wildflowers in the field much to the patience of the walker beside me. To share this passion is a heartfelt plea to respect, preserve and care for all British Wildflowers no matter how common they seem.
