1. Introduction The common name for the genus Rhus is Sumac, which contains over 250 individual species in the family Anacardiaceae. Rhuscoriaria L. is a wild medicinal plant growing in the Mediterranean region, has long been used as a flavoring foods and medicinal plant (Ali-Shtayeh et al., 2008). In folk medicine and traditional Iranian herbal medicine, sumac has been used in the treatment of hypertension, cancer, stroke, diabetes, atherosclerosis, smallpox, liver disease, aconuresis, headaches
The scientific name for the Laurel Sumac is the Malosma laurina. It is a large evergreen shrub with shiny-green foliage. Has clusters of small white flowers that insects love to eat off of in the spring time. There are no recognized subforms of it. 2.On the Global Rank scale, I believe that the laurel sumac would be considered a G5. It is both common and widespread all throughout the state of California. It is mainly found along the coast of Southern California or throughout the Pacific Ocean Coasts
It’s weird to think that restoring art is an art form in itself. But spending hours analyzing the flaws in a painting and devoting countless more to mending minor details can hardly be considered anything else. It takes a steady hand and a meticulous focus to repair the damages and reinstate a sense of respect towards something degraded by time. Much like a painting conservator reviving a masterpiece, Firoozeh Dumas, an Iranian author and social commentator, peels back layers of accumulated stereotypes
autumn days so common in stories and so rare in the real world. The weather was warm and dry, ideal for ripening a field of wheat or corn. On both sides of the road the trees were changing color. Tall poplars had gone a buttery yellow while the shrubby sumac encroaching on the road was tinged a violent red. Only the old oaks seemed reluctant to give up the summer, and their leaves remained an even mingling of gold and green. Everything said, you couldn’t hope for a nicer day to have a half dozen ex-soldiers
As stated earlier, the deer grass was the most common plant material to use for the coiling. For the patterns, Juncus or split sumac, would be used using a “pierce and penetrate” method which would be sown to the “underlying coil.” According to Justin F. Farmer, “an important diagnostic trait of the mission basket would be the Bound Under Fag End Stitch, or BUFES” (Farmer 10).
and as such, is highly sought after. Other traditional Persian spices include turmeric, salt, peppers, cumin, fenugreek, coriander, cilantro, mint, parsley, cardamom, cayenne, cinnamon, curry powder, dried lime, garlic, ginger, nutmeg, rose, and sumac. Most of these can be found within the country, and most Persian foods will have at least some of these spices present. Salt is another one of these spices that are pretty important in the country, as there are a large number of salt mines within its
The Rennaisance The fluorishing of arts and sciences literally "rebirth," the period in European civilization immediately following the Middle Ages, conventionally held to have been characterized by a surge of interest in classical learning and values. The Renaissance also witnessed the discovery and exploration of new continents, the substitution of the Copernican for the Ptolemaic system of astronomy, the decline of the feudal system and the growth of commerce, and the invention or application
Mixedwood Plains Ecozone Landforms The Mixedwood Plains ecozone is composed of waterfalls, rivers, plains, and wetlands. The last continental ice sheet covering the ecozone melted 11 000 years ago, leaving thick clay deposits. Underneath, the ecozone is sedimentary rock, while up above, it is mostly plains and rolling hills with some notable features being Manitoulin Island, the Great Lakes, and the Niagara Escarpment. More than 6000 drumlins span the ecozone, as do bodies of freshwater. Approximately
The purpose of conducting this experiment is to find out how an invasive specie affects different native animals. In the past, invasive species have spread disease, created more competition, and had grown exponentially to then destroyed land. By comparing populations between native birds and an invasive specie, in this case the Eurasian Collared Dove, we can find out how the native birds were affected. We are examining how the Eurasian Collared dove affected populations of native birds in San Diego
In American society the “F” word has been deemed a cuss word, a dirty word. It’s a simple, four letter word that shouldn’t be used. In Firoozeh Dumas’s essay, “The ‘F Word’”, she give it a new light to a different “F” word with the same meaning in our culture. Firoozeh Dumas uses her Iranian background to help her criticise the American ability to adapt to different and unfamiliar cultures through humor, empathy, and metaphors. She begins by drawing people to read her essay merely with her title
Okanagan has near desert-like conditions which produce a more arid but unique vegetation, unlike any other in Canada. Here, the deep valley becomes grassland - too dry for tree growth without irrigation. Sagebrush shrubs, cheatgrass, poison ivy and sumac are scattered with beautifully coloured prickly pear cactus, Okanagan sunflower and bitter root. The region's wildlife is also unique. In the winter, hoofed animals such as mule deer and bighorn sheep migrate down from the mountains into the warmer
Sledding is a childhood experience full of laughter and excitement. From the first time a child is pulled in a sled to the time when they attempt their first crazy sledding feat, wonderful memories are being created. Sometimes these memories blur together like snowflakes in a January wind. Happy memories with forgotten details, but still leading to the same ending; delight. Most of my sledding memories were like this; running through backyards and flying down hills. Sometimes however, memories are

The landform of the current Thousand Islands National Park was created in two stages; the folding of the Frontenac Axis which created an ancient mountain range which is an extension of the Canadian Shield to the Adirondack Mountains in New York, and the continental glaciation erosion that scraped and rounded the tops of the mountain range. During the receding of the glacier, a channel was carved out to the Great Lakes basin, where the dammed water and meltwater of the glacier filled the channel now
other items you can put out such as suet, sunflower hearts, soften fruits, cornmeal muffins, and some insects. Bluebirds are also attracted to other foods that may be around the bird house area such as, “fruits of elderberry, hackberry, serviceberry, sumac, flowering dogwood, holly, red cedar, fox grape, and Virginia creeper” according to Husman. Bluebirds will eat different things for the season they are in, but the meal worms are eaten year around. The availability of food in important in attracting

Their poisons rang from skin irritation to death. Some are poisonous to the touch while others are orally toxic and have to be ingested
Ekphrasis poetry can be written as either an exhibition of the sensational aspects of an artist’s life or as a act to explicate the artwork itself. Gehrke balances both options by opening the gaze of the audience to witness the life of the artist but also the process, aftermath, and desire to paint. Gehrke respects the creative process of the painters, but also gives voice to the torments of the artists, their subjects, themes of death, life and love. The book as an entire collection gages the immediacy
