7 excellent reasons to plant borage in your garden: and free seeds!

Guess what? You probably didn’t realize this until this very moment, but you need borage. Your local bees need borage, too. But your garden especially needs borage, stat. And I’m going to tell you why all of this is true.

Oh, but wait. Maybe you don’t know what borage is. Let’s start there, first.

Borage (borago officinalis) is a freely seeding, easy-to-grow annual plant with delicious blue flowers, and prickly leaves that taste a bit like cucumbers. Borage is considered an herb, but is often grown as a flower. Borage is one of those plants that–once you’ve planted it in your garden–you’ll never have to plant it again (cue clap of thunder).

Important Note: if control is very important to you in your gardening experience, then borage may not be the plant for you. If you garden, however, with a penchant and an appreciation for serendipity, and you like the occasional surprise, and you’re grateful for plants that pop up without your planting them, like borage, and mint, and dill, or whatnot, then it could be a great addition to your garden.

Borago officianalis

Borago officinalis

Speaking of serendipity: when I gave birth to my first daughter, Bethany, it was August. Finding myself in an intense nesting phase early in the summer, I had planted our back yard to an ambitious and beautiful (and probably too big, just guessing at that) garden. Then as the last weeks of pregnancy and the first weeks of new babyness left me without energy to tend it, my lovely garden succumbed to neglect. Stuggling a bit with postpartum blues, I wandered around my sad, unkempt garden, holding and admiring my baby girl and yet mourning my wreck of a garden. And then I saw them: the radish seed pods!

My radishes had gone to seed, and they were a riotous mess of stems, flowers, leaves and little pods. I plucked a pod sadly, bit into it out of curiosity and . . . you’re thinking perhaps that I’ll say that my postpartum blues were cured. No, they were not, although that would have been sweet. But–I discovered that the radish seed pods were crunchy and delicious, tasting quite a bit like radishes (surprise!) and I found that they even made a nice addition to green salads. What–do–you–know!? That’s what I thought.

I learned a lesson: even a neglected garden can yield sweet surprises, if you keep your eyes open for them. It is a treat to be able to actually keep up with a garden. But if Life Happens (as it so often does) and you have to let it go for a time . . . things will be okay. If I hadn’t let those radishes go to seed, if I had been all Control Freakish about the weeds and pulling up spent plants and so forth, I never would have discovered the serendipity of radish seed pods. And that leads us . . . back to borage. Naturally.

Some folks might consider it a nuisance that borage so cheerfully pops up in the early spring, wherever the parent plants from the year before dropped their seeds, but I consider it a blessing. You can spot the big oval flat leaves immediately in the early spring, coming up in pairs wherever you had borage growing the year before. I actually let the plants grow until they are in the way of a melon patch or a corn bed or a radish row, and then I’ll pull them and throw them to my chooks. They eat every bite. Easy-peasy chicken food. There are always enough plants that come up on paths and in corners that I can leave to grow until they produce the achingly beautiful little blue flowers that gave this plant its second name: star plant.

So let’s get to the reasons that you might just want to plant borage yourself, in your own garden. Then I’ll share with you how you can win some free seeds!

Reason #1: You don’t see this shade of blue just anywhere. I have a particular fondness for the color blue in flowers. It seems unusual to see a blue flower, like blue ice cream or blue popcorn or blue cheese. It’s just different and a garden is an awfully nice place for the color blue. Just look.

The perfect shade of blue.

The perfect shade of blue.

Reason #2: You can eat it. You can take great delight in eating flowers as you go about your gardening chores. And the leaves make a very refreshing tea. You can also go a bit Victorian and dip the flowers in whipped egg whites and then sugar, and decorate cupcakes or birthday cake with them. They would look absolutely stunning perched atop glazed petit fours. Everybody will applaud. I’ve seen it. The younger leaves are tasty in salads, and shredded in soups.

Reason #3: Borage flowers are bee magnets. This is a great reason to plant borage in your vegetable and flower gardens. Although it can be a gangly plant, and will invariably flop over and die at the most inopportune times (late summer, when the pressure to have a gorgeous garden is highest, or just before somebody you want to impress comes for the weekend) the bees love it. And I’ll do nearly anything to help the bees out in their current, struggling-to-survive-state. Many vegetable plants, too, that need pollination in order to be fruitful, do not have showy flowers, so these little intensely blue flowers attract attention from the bees like nobody’s business.

The day I was taking these pictures, the bees were quite busy in the flowers.

Reason 3: Free chicken food. As I mentioned already, my chooks love borage, and yours probably do, too, though perhaps they don’t know it yet. I appreciate free chicken food wherever it turns up: when I’m pulling the weeds in my garden, for instance, I pile up the ones that I know the chickens will eat: dandelion, lambsquarters, borage, nettle, purslane, grasses, and so forth, and at the end of my weeding time, I’ll toss them to the chooks and they all rush happily to me, throwing me kisses. Or they would, I know, if they had lips. Along those lines, if you don’t use chemicals on your grass, grass clippings are something else that your chickens will be delighted to consume for you. But borage–they will smack those non-existent lips over borage, I guarantee it. 🙂

Reason 4: It’s a great companion plant for strawberries, squash and tomato plants. Haven’t heard of companion planting yet? Here’s a bit of info for you.

Reason 5: Borage deters tomato hornworms and cabbage moths.  And who doesn’t have problems with cabbage moths? Everybody I know (and their dog) have problems with cabbage moths. I’ve always wondered why I never see tomato hornworms in my garden, and maybe this is the reason. Anecdotal, I realize, but there it is. I’ll take it.

Reason 6: Borage oil is the richest known source (24%!) of an essential fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), found in its seeds. Of course you would have to eat a lot of the seeds to get the benefits of this oil, but you can buy borage oil and lotions online or in health food stores. People with skin disorders such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis show increased levels of linoleic acid and a simultaneous decrease in gamma-linolenic acid. This decrease can cause serious skin problems. Recent studies indicate that borage oil, taken orally, increases PG1 levels in the skin and suppresses chronic inflammation in those who are afflicted. Learn more here.

Reason 7: Mulch. The borage plant grows quickly, flowers riotously, and then when it’s tired, will flop over and beg to be pulled. It’s an easy plant to pull, and then you’ve got yourself an armful of mulch. It’s a big plant. You can lay it in the path of your garden where it can decompose and add organic matter to your soil, or toss it in the compost. Either way, you’ll improve your garden soil. Almost without effort, too. Win-win-win.

There they are! 7 excellent reasons to plant borage in your garden. And guess what. You can plant it early in the spring, or you can plant it now, or you can even scatter seeds in the fall, and they’ll come up in the spring.

    I found one tired borage plant last year at Co-op & promptly killed it. This year I planted seeds in a pot & I’m hoping for success!!

  2. Nicole

    I’m sold! I would like to give it a try. I love flowers in the garden among the veggies and those that grace us without help are especially fun.

    1. Valerie

      Planted these for 1st time, fast growers, big leaves and the flowers are beautiful, can’t go wrong with all their benefits

      1. dramamamafive Post author

        Agreed! And if you let them go to seed, you’ll have plenty of little plants next year and the next . . .

  3. Jillian

    I’ve never grown borage, but I would like to try it. Going to be getting chickens soon glad to hear they will love it!

  4. Jamie

    Ok, so you’ve convinced me. I’ll stop pulling all those little borage plants out and let some grow. I was afraid it was going to totally take over Eliza’s little garden. We’ll see if our chickens like it as well as yours do!

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      I didn’t have any kitchen scraps to throw to the chickens this morning, so I pulled up a few borage plants instead. You should have seen them smiling! 😉

  5. Gwendolen

    I’ve been growing borage for 18 years now and love it’s blue color but have never tasted it. The “furriness” of the leaves have been off-putting, but the idea of adding them to iced tea, if cucumber flavored, (or even water) sounds delightful. Thanks for the inspiration!

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      Gwendolen, Such a lovely Victorian drink: ice tea, ice water, or lemonade with plenty of ice all are made better with a few small borage leaves or a handful of flowers. And such a beautiful drink!

    2. dramamamafive Post author

      Try this: put a handful of the smaller borage leaves and a few flowers in a tall glass of lemonade, or ice tea, or ice water. Beautiful and refreshing, too!

  6. Alana(@RamblinGarden)

    I grew borage in Arkansas, when I had 34 acres, two large gardens, chickens, and lots of room,s. I haven’t grown it in all the years since I returned to my native New York State. I don’t know if they would reseed in our community garden and they take a lot of room but they do have those beautiful blue flowers I miss.

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      I would bet they would reseed, Alana. My hubby plows up my garden every fall, and then my dad rototills it afresh in the spring, and still my borage comes up every year. So glad about it.

  7. Mari

    I love it – that you grow borage. Originally, I planted it in the tomato beds to – yes – discourage tomato hornworms. When it finally succumbed to the heat of the Texas summer, I was so sad. What thrilled me, though, was the new little babies that sprouted up all over. My chills turned to thrills when I saw them come up. Now the tomato beds have borage all over in them. I love it. I hope that some day the bases of the tomatoes will be plumb stuffed full of this flower/herb. It is gradually making its way toward doing that. I, too, am looking to draw in the bees. As I survey my garden, I am always looking for the plants that draw the bees. When I see that I have enough to sustain the bees, I will bring in the bees. I just want to be sure there is enough to sustain them.
    Another plant that the bees just go crazy for is lamb’s ear. When they bloom, they just teem with the busy buzz of the bees. They also self seed all over so I find it in every nook and cranny of my garden. Wonderful, says I. They are beautiful and they keep the bees coming to the garden. Between lamb’s ear and borage, my little pollinators are jumping for joy. I just hope they have enough time to pollinate my veggies!
    Thanks for all the great suggestions for using it. I would never have tried giving it to my chickens because I think the flowers remind me of nightshade and I am afraid of that stuff. Now, with confidence, I will treat my chickie baby ladies to a wonderful treat. They are feeling blue today because one of their sisters died from heat exhaustion yesterday (or scorpion or snake bite) and they were telling me sad stories last night as I sat with them for a while. They already miss their Honey Buns sister. (I bet you can’t guess what breed Honey Buns might be!)

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      You are a delight to me, Mari. Of COURSE I grow borage. It’s just the perfect shade of blue, don’t you agree? I don’t even remember why I started growing it years ago, but it is a delight to me, just like you are. I get thrills when I see those fat leaves come up in the springtime, too, in my garden. I let as many of them grow as I can (without sacrificing precious garden space) and when I don’t have something good to throw to my chickens (kitchen scraps) I’ll pull up a couple big borage plants (making sure there are no honeybees in the flowers!). I did just that this morning, and was surprised to see honeybees already busily collecting nectar from the (perfect) blue flowers, before 7:00 a.m.! So sorry to hear about the passing of Honey Buns . . . Buff Orpington, perhaps? My mama Lulu has left her babies (now half-grown) to fend for themselves, and so I wonder if she is off making another nest. And another hen, Helen, a determined Rhode Island Red, is sitting on a nest in the compost pile. Smart gal! We may have new baby chicks again in a week or so . . . (fingers crossed!)

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      If you had it, Sena, you’d know it–it’s a BIG plant, getting to be probably 24″ tall or more, and at least that wide, too.

  8. Chef William Chaney

    Well I did enjoy the first six reasons, because like you, I want to do want ever it takes to help the bees. As for spreading it along the garden path, I am afraid it will become like our mint, which has a plan of it’s own to take over the world. However, on behalf of the bees, I will add it along the walkway mixed in with our 20 or so sunflowers, which we plant each year for the finches.

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      Borage is not as invasive as mint! It does spread seeds lavishly, but it doesn’t send out runners like mint does, so I welcome it into my garden. Not so much mint. I’ve got several kinds of mint, but it is banished to the far corners of the garden!

  9. Kevin Young

    Great Share!

    However, I’m a gardener by profession but I’ve not grown borage so far but after knowing the properties of this herb, I’m definitely going to plant it in coming spring season.

    Keep posting valuable stuff!

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      OH you’ll love it, Kevin! I never have to plant it any longer–it self-seeds quite freely and I just choose which plants to keep, and which ones to pull up and throw to the chooks! I LOVE using those blossoms in salads, or just pinching them off and eating them when I’m working in the garden. Such a delicacy, really. 🙂

  10. John Smith

    Hi, Hooray I finally know what that beautiful blue flowering plant was that came up all by itself in a wicking bed I had for blue berries. Hopefully it will come back again when the season is correct. The blue berries died but that blue plant thrived…lol

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      Oh, John, what I’ve learned about borage: once you plant it, you will always have it. It self-seeds freely. I see the fat furry leaves coming up and rejoice every year! I have enough come up in my garden now that I pull some for the chickens, and leave others for me. If you catch them when they are tiny, also, you can move them to a place where you actually WANT them. Just a tip.

        1. dramamamafive Post author

          indeed, John! I let the borage plants that I do not want to keep grow to a good size, then I chop them down and toss them to the chickens!

  11. Jessica Phan

    First timer reading your blog because I just bought a borage plant today at an herb society sale and wanted to know more info on it. It caught my attention because the lady said the leaves taste like cucumbers. I live in south Louisiana and was wondering if it required any special soil or fertilizer. I will be planting it in a container since all I have is a balcony to grow my garden. Any info will help. Thanks!

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      Jessica, I don’t think it needs any special soil or fertilizer, but it’ll probably need a bigger pot than you’d imagine. The plants can get quite large! Watch your borage plant and it will probably tell you what it needs. I’d pot it up as it gets bigger, and fertilize it once a month using a standard balanced fertilizer. I’d love it if you’d reply back with how it gets along. I’ve never grown borage in a pot before.

  12. Eve Verran

    I was visiting another town over the weekend for a festival when we stopped and had a coffee out in the garden of a little cafe. I was very surprised to see they had several borage plants with white flowers, they were beautiful. I would love to know where I can get some seed for white borage in Western Australia. There are some sites that sell seed in other states but they do not ship here. I love your blog. Eve

    1. dramamamafive Post author

      Oh boy, Eve, I wish I could help you! Here’s a pro tip: Borage freely drops seeds at the end of its life cycle. If I were you, I’d go back to that cafe and ask if you might gather a few seeds (they’ll be in the dried-up seed heads). Borage is not difficult to raise from seed! And once you grow it one time, it will come up freely the next year in the same spot, from seeds the mother plant dropped the year before. I have seen pink borage flowers on my own borage plants, but never white. I’d love some seeds, myself!

High-Frequency Radars: Beamforming Calibrations Using Ships as Reflectors

Flores-Vidal, X., P. Flament, R. Durazo, C. Chavanne, K.-W. Gurgel (2013),
AMS Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, Volume 30, Issue 3, pp. 638-648, March 2013
DOI: 10.1175/JTECH-D-12-00105.1

Abstract - - Linear array antennas and beamforming techniques offer some advantages compared to direction finding using squared arrays. The azimuthal resolution depends on the number of antenna elements and their spacing. Assuming an ideal beam pattern and no amplitude taper across the aperture, 16 antennas in a linear array spaced at half the electromagnetic wavelength theoretically provide a beam resolution of 3.5° normal to the array, and up to twice that when the beam is steered within an azimuthal range of 60° from the direction normal to the array. However, miscalibrated phases among antenna elements, cables, and receivers (e.g., caused by service activities without recalibration) can cause errors in the beam-steering direction and distortions of the beam pattern, resulting in unreliable ocean surface current and wave estimations. The present work uses opportunistic ship echoes randomly received by oceanographic high-frequency radars to correct an unusual case of severe phase differences between receiver channels, leading to a dramatic improvement of the surface current patterns. The method proposed allows for simplified calibrations of phases to account for hardware-related changes without the need to conduct the regular calibration procedure and can be applied during postprocessing of datasets acquired with insufficient calibration.

565. Optative mode-sign

a. The optative mode-sign is in the active voice a different one, according as it is added to a tense-stem ending in a, or to one ending in some other final. In the latter case, it is yā́, accented; this  is appended to the weaker form of the tense-stem, and takes the regular series of secondary endings, with, in 3d plur., us instead of an, and loss of the ā before it. After an a-stem, it is ī, unaccented; this ī blends with the final a to e (which then is accented or not according to the accent of the a); and the eis maintained unchanged before a vowel-ending (am, us), by means of an interposed euphonic y.

b. In the middle voice, the mode-sign is ī throughout, and takes the secondary endings, with a in 1st sing., and ran in 3d pl. After an a-stem, the rules as to its combination to e, the accent of the latter, and its retention before a vowel-ending with interposition of a y, are the same as in the active. After any other final, the weaker form of stem is taken, and the accent is on the ending (except in one class of verbs, where it falls upon the tense-stem: see 645); and the ī (as when combined to e) takes an inserted ybefore the vowel-endings (a, āthām, ātām).

c. It is, of course, impossible to tell from the form whether i or ī is combined with the final of an a-stem to e; but no good reason appears to exist for assuming i, rather than the ī which shows itself in the other class of stems in the middle voice.

Wine bars and restaurants and Wine of the Week

Envínate at Malauva, Vigo

Vigo is the main city of Galicia’s southern part. It might be that I don’t know it well enough, but I think that even if it may be the natural centre for those who live and work there, so far that it lacks that “something extra” to make it a major tourist spot. This is if you’re not taking into account that Galicia’s (at the moment) best natural wine bar is there. Malauva is a place you can go to savour delicious organic, biodynamic, natural wines, and the waiters know what wines they are serving, just half a block from my hotel by the harbour. (I visited in a break from Porto’s Simplesmente fair, over the border.) It was Josiño, educated sommelier, and his wife Marina who started the bar, and I hope that sufficiently enough people will appreciate it, so that many like me (natural wine geeks, but not Celta football fans) have a reason to come back.

On a corner just off the harbour

I ordered “Burrata y tomates” and “Canelón de choco”, and as it was not packed with guests this Monday I had the chance to discuss with Josiño which wines to be served next.

I chose to go Galician that night. After a light start, the appley/citrussy Eido da Salgos 2016 (Cazapitas) from O Rosal, Rías Baixas, came the more herbal Memoría de Ventura lías finas 2016 (Pinguela), a Valdeorras godello. On to the reds, Volátil from the
Bibei subregion of Ribeira Sacra were bottled by the Fefiñans of Cambados. Maybe the least interesting wine, a bit warm and oaky, but also with nice dark fruits and balsamic notes. With Silice 2017 of Sober (Amandi subzone of Ribeira Sacra) it started to take off. A cherry red, wild fruits scented, atlantic acidity, elegant wine.

Josiño, ‘taberneiro’ for Malauva wine bar

Our main wine this time is from the team Envínate, that makes wines in several Spanish regions. The four friends started as consultants after oenology studies in Alicante in 2005, but it soon evolved into a wine producing project. Their aim is to explore distinctive parcels and make pure, authentic wines that express the terroir of each parcel. No chemicals are used in the vineyards, only natural yeast, and sulfur is used only prior to bottling and if they think they need it.

Lousas is Galician for the type of slate soil that predominates in the Amandi sub-zone of Ribeira Sacra. Aldea means village. There is 90-95% mencía with other grapes (such as brancellao, merenzao, mouratón [juan garcía], bastardo and garnacha tintorera), in a field blend.

For this wine 40% whole clusters were included, the must was raised in old barrels for 11 months with no racking and no SO2 added until bottling.

Lousas Viña de Aldea 2016 (Envínate)
Cherry red. Red fruits and flowers on top, white pepper and herbs. It has a mineral edge and a, long, cool acidity.

It’s fresh, elegant and in my opinion more than a typical “village wine”. It bears the subtitle Vino Atlántico, which is very appropriate, as the influence from the ocean is evident.

Price: Medium

First Paragraph BRONZE WINNERS

(Please note “m” is memoir, “f” is fiction.)

First Paragraph Contest Bronze Certificate

Leah Abrahams m.

Pamela: It’s always challenging for a memorist or novelist to give the reader background information in a way that feels natural and unforced, and I think Leah did this very cleverly.  She definitely captured my attention and made me want to read on!

Leah Abrahams for “Of Course I Can”

Of course I can add!

73 years of a life

30 years as an orphan

29 years of a marriage

46 years of motherhood

16 years of a romance

33 years loving a special-needs son

20 years exploring art

12 years in a third career

49 years in one city now filled with friends

Equal: Time to sell my house, move to Boston for love and start a new count.

Come with me…

Linda Atwell m.

Pamela: We asked for first paragraphs, but I took the liberty of publishing Linda Atwell’s first two paragraphs since her first consisted of only one sentence.  And yet, it was the first sentence that intrigued me; I like its brevity and the conflict and challenge implicit in the reversal – “but not the one I got.”  This is what screenwriter Bob McKee calls “opening the gap” between expectation and result, and it’s the heart and soul of story.

Linda Atwell for “Out One Ear: The Joyful and Heart Wrenching Journey of Helping a Daughter With Developmental Delays Achieve Independence”

I always wanted a daughter, but not the one I got.

She started out perfect, with all her fingers and toes. I know because I counted each one. Four times–to make sure.  She had movie star eyelashes. Long. Dark. I didn’t notice them at first. My daughter screeched so loud her nose wrinkled and her eyes scrunched together tight enough for the lashes to completely disappear.

Ellen Barnes m.

Pamela: Ellen’s first sentence (bolded, below) caught my attention; she gives the reader a lot of information very economically, and in language that evokes a vivid visual image.

Ellen Barnes for “Queen for a Day”

Frank pouted, puckering his lips at the image in the mirror while applying shimmering lip color. Touching up blue eye shadow and mascara, he tousled his long blond wig and adjusted the push-up bra eyeing his hormone-enhanced breasts with approval.   If he won the contest, the prize would go a long way towards completing his transformation to Francine.  He was always Francine.  There were just a few technical difficulties.  Smoothing his form-fitting red satin dress and striking a pose, he sashayed into the lobby planting a wet kiss on the horrified manager’s cheek.  “I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.”

Vicky Bates m.

Pamela: Vicky’s first paragraph is dramatic, and she accomplishes this in only a few words.  Likening fear to burning coffee removes it from a trite expression of the emotion. The title too is both intriging and mysterious.  We’re not sure exactly whose jacket is empty, if it will remain empty, and if so why.  I would certainly want to read on!

Vicky Bates for “Empty Jacket”

I feel the difference. First, the rush of adrenaline pulsing and spiraling through my body, fear going down like burning coffee swallowed too hot. I steady myself against the emergency table that fits my son’s body so perfectly.

Janet  Brantley  f.

Pamela: I was captivated by the mystery implicit in Janet’s first sentence.  The fact that the narrator is drawn to the beach without understanding why presents an intriguing premise.

Janet Brantley for “Murder by Any Other Name”Biloxi Bay Bridge in Biloxi, Mississippi

“Something was coming, but I didn’t know what, and that not knowing had sent me here this evening after work – to the beach in Ocean Springs, where I could watch the balloon of golden sun setting over toward Texas. I had parked Bernice, my little red Beetle, in one of the pull-offs, taken off my sandals, grabbed a quilt, and set out to find the perfect spot to watch another of our glorious sunsets. On this Thursday afternoon, I needed solitude though I wasn’t sure why. My day at work at MEMA had been easy and without controversy. This didn’t feel like it had anything to do with work, anyway. The person on my mind, the one who’d been on my mind all day, was Richie.”

Christine Caldwell m.

Pamela: Christine has achieved a very natural, conversational voice in this opening, which we know is difficult to do. I felt as though I were hearing her story directly from her, one-on-one, and we can probably all relate to trying to talk our way through a fearful situation.

Christine Caldwell for “The Patchwork of My Soul”

Hands white-knuckled on the steering wheel of the old truck and eyes focused on the whoop-di-doos ahead, I muttered my constant mantra of the last thirty minutes: “Please don’t let me meet another vehicle…please don’t let me meet another vehicle….” No sign of dust on the gravel road ahead as it curved toward the dam; maybe my prayer would be answered one last mile.

Brenda de Jong m.

Pamela: I like Brenda’s conversational and unconventional opening where she tells us we will have adventures the narrator herself has not experienced. The lessons to be learned, it appears, are ones the reader and the author will learn together.

Brenda de Jong for “My Name is Elpee”

“Hello and thank you for being here.  I would like to introduce myself and invite you to accompany me on my deliciously deep and whimsical journey.  Hmmm, is it even possible to be delicious, deep, and whimsical all at the same time?  In any event, it is a magical trip that will transport us to both times and places as yet unknown, to people and not-people still unmet, and to adventures unlived and lessons unlearned.”

Patricia Florio m.

Pamela: “Confessions of a Court Reporter” is an intriguing title and premise; the reader feels confident she is in for some fascinating tales! But it is the specificity of detail in this opening that is the compelling invitation to the reader to stand next to the author in the scene and press her thumb on the rotary wheel.

Patricia Florio for “Confessions of a Court Reporter”

As simple as picking up an apple from a dish, I picked up my father’s silver Zippo.  I didn’t have one thought in my head to do something destructive.  I just wanted to see how it worked.  Inside the bathroom, I flipped open the lighter, as I had seen my father do a hundred times. I pressed my thumb on the rotary wheel pushing down as hard as I could.  The first time only produced some sparks.  My second attempt, I pushed harder, and an orange blue flame appeared with the familiar odor of lighter fluid, the same smell I recognized when my father lit up a cigarette. For no reason I can think of I placed the flame under a stream of toilet paper.  Instantly, the flimsy paper roared…

Cindy Fox f.

Pamela: Cindy’s bolded sentence below “she deserved better” caught my attention.  We understand immediately that Charles is sad but wonder why his wife deserved better, and if so why didn’t she get what she deserved?  The opening seems to hang tantalizingly on that question.

Cindy Fox for “Evening Shadows”

Charles stands next to his wife’s open casket. A spray of autumn mums rests on top. Tears sting his nose, pungent, spicy. An entwined ribbon stenciled Husband in glittery gold unravels him, the fancy decoration unbefitting alongside the humble, rust-colored blossoms–the first flowers he has bought her.  She deserved better. She deserved roses that spoke of undying love. His tie cuts into his neck as he bows his head in sorrow, but the tightness in his chest strangles him with shame. He closes his eyes on his blindness and sees a shower of blinking lights burning holes into his eyelids. Hot tears cling to the corners of his eyes. A steady stream of tinged images flicker through his mind. All the special occasions he’d missed seeing her eyes light up with bouquets of flowers while he nearsightedly looked in the wrong direction.

Amy Mull Fremgen m.

Pamela: Amy’s first sentence, bolded below, appears very matter-of-fact.  And yet it’s the facts she presents that set up what promises to be a fascinating narrative.

Amy Mull Fremgen for “An Ordinary Childhood: Growing up Innocent”

It was 1936. My mother was twenty years old, pregnant, unmarried, and Catholic. Her future and mine were headed towards disaster—socially, economically, and spiritually. Unwed motherhood back then was not a cause for celebration as it is today.  Although my parents were in love, there was a marriage barrier. My father was Methodist. Neither religion was hot on mixed marriages. I was the match maker made in heaven. With my imminent arrival, both families agreed a mixed marriage would be a blessing.

Betty Hafner m.

Pamela: Betty’s title, combined with the poignant yet almost slap-stick moment below (see bolded sentences) make the reader feel she is in the hands of a capable and adept storyteller.

Betty Hafner for “Not Exactly Love”

db-vw-pumps“Here goes!” I said aloud and took one last peek in the mirror, relieved to see that my sweat rings didn’t show. The silky sleeves hid a purple bruise too, but that was not on my mind at that moment. I opened the bedroom door and strode along the hall as if I were already in front of the ten people who waited below. I heard a rustling noise, probably one of the young brothers, then a loud “Shhhh.” I paused at the top of the stairs and drew in a breath, heavy with the scent of gardenias. I moved down slowly yet just before the bottom, the heel of my satin pump clipped the carpeted edge, snapped off and my right foot shot out from under me. The flowers flew as I grabbed the banister and collapsed onto a step. The others couldn’t see me behind the wall but they knew. I heard my mother gasp.

Christy Heady  m.

Pamela: Contrasts and reversals are the stuff of good stories, and I like the disparity of hiring a personal chef juxtaposed with the hard-scrabble life of raising a new baby as single mom.  Christy’s opening implies that she is a resourceful person whose solutions to life’s dilemmas will be uniquely her own.

Christy Heady for “Parenting with Grace, Gratitude … and Guts! My Journey Through the Wilderness of Single Motherhood”

One of the lowest points into my initiation to motherhood was the day I hired a personal chef to come to my house and cook for me.  Some new mothers may think this a luxury; after I reflected upon my circumstances at being abandoned by my ex and raising a five-month-old baby by myself, I waddled in a pool of self-pity and reached for my checkbook.

We congratulate each of these authors and we hope you’ll post your best wishes and thoughts to them in the comment section below.

This upcoming weekend we will celebrate our moms for Mother’s Day. Last week, I had an incredible conversation with two inspiring mothers, who have taken their journey into motherhood and transformed the lives of hundreds of young mothers in the foster care system. These amazing women founded Alliance of Moms, a non-profit organization whose mission is to break the inter-generational cycle of babies born to teens in foster care.

Yasmine Delawari Johnson and Jules Leyser were both pregnant in 2012, along with three other girlfriends (Danika Charity, Emily Lynch and Kelly Zajfen) all at the same time. For some it was their first child, for others their second or third but the girlfriends all experienced  a profound change in becoming mothers. Together they were determined to use that shift in each of them to help other mothers, the most at risk, those in the foster care system.

What inspired you to start Alliance of Moms?

Yasmine: I was pregnant with my son, having a child makes your heart burst wide open and makes you see everything every differently. I wanted a part of motherhood to be looking out for all children, not just our own. From my previous work with  The Alliance for Children’s Rights, I knew we needed to explore more volunteer opportunities for children’s rights.

Jules: My mother grew up in foster care and was a teen parent at 17. I understood the need to break the cycle, 66% of babies born into foster care become teen moms. I also understood that my child had won a lottery that he didn’t even knew he entered, just by luck. We needed to help support all mothers.

Tell us about when you knew, your work had made a difference?

Yasmine: In July 2014, five of us began exploring this idea of creating an auxiliary group to support The Alliance for Children’s Rights but more than that we wanted a mother to mother, community to community event. Six weeks later, we had our first program, Raising Baby, inviting 70 youth in foster care and their children for a day of fun, educational parenting workshops. We were determined to be there for these moms, when so many have let them down.

While we set out to serve these young women in foster care, our members were also impacted by serving. The women we serve have changed all of our lives for the better because regardless of your circumstances, we all walk away stronger knowing that we all struggle as mothers.

What fuels you to keep doing this work?

Jules: Having a hands on relationship with our pregnant girls and seeing them on an upward trajectory. Knowing that these young mothers are now talking and singing to their unborn children, or reading to their children at bedtime, creating family rituals, and using  the little things that we teach them, which have a big impact on their children.

These young parents are motivated to change their lives and their children’s’ and more than that, it is seeing people being kind.

What is your dream for Alliance of Moms?

Yasmine: My dream would be to create something sustainable and scalable that we could take outside of Los Angeles and to other communities of mothers across the country. We know and see the value of creating community and a village for mothers.

Jules: My dream would also be to see our program expand to other places and perhaps to help all teen moms. The real dream would be to have the public start seeing these young moms in a different way…with humanity and empathy.

As Yasmine and Jules both said, “We are all different and yet we are all the same. We all want the best for our children, we all get overwhelmed, stressed, worried that we are not doing the right thing. We are all learning about ourselves and our children as we struggle to do our best.”

Over 600 members, hundreds of families and young mothers served and countless lives forever changed by a group of mothers who know what it is to share the love, create an alliance and to inspire us all.

Within the Web pay focus to the programs that exclusively sponsor girls from typically the countries you are usually interested in.

Once you decide to use worldwide marriage websites, you will see the great number of these people available online. Hence, it gets hard to figure out exactly what in order to stick to be able to. However, their root principles the way to pick the right location.

Most likely, some even switched to special internet dating services, but also failed to achieve the particular result. These services do not offer any guarantee, and it’s not a new fact they are really trying to help. It is a lot more comfortable to act independently and individually to keep every thing in order. In a nutshell, the email order bride websites provide lots regarding opportunities to find a soulmate.

For typically the majority of email order brides who else are seeking regarding the perfect spouse abroad, the lack of one-way thinking within the woman role-model can be another purpose for choosing on-line communication with the foreigner[2]. Inside contrast to their local men, no-one would tell them that they are already also old to become a mother or they should give up their zest for the professional self-realization. The foreign males perceive the tasks of the female within a contrasting way – seeing the girl because the unique character with own plans for life.

  • You may possess heard a lot of bothersome news from Ukraine recently.

Where in order to get mail buy brides?

Such sites have got catalogs of users – they are usually mostly women seeking men who send out some info about them to the particular administration for the particular team to aid them find the perfect match. Some internet dating sites offer only virtual space with regard to communication, some of them watch over girls, keeping an eye on their activity – though, the second alternative is quite rare. The prettiest women in the whole world : this is what Slavic brides are said in order to be. It is usually easy to make certain of this through the earliest look – the vast majority of women from Russia, Ukraine, and Czech Republic mesmerize with their elegance.

How do you do therefore? Basically, just response the questions there within details. We have one more quick and humble please note to make. The clients spend on facilitating the communication, not really for the females themselves – due to the fact selling human creatures is both illegal and immoral. In other words, inside “mail order birdes-to-be, ” the key word is “mail” not really “order. ” Just if you deal with her like a female that she is could you hope for your bright future together.

The current which means from the term provides undergone much modification. Firstly, a mail-order bride means the woman exhibiting the woman desire in answering to the man’s proposal.

Secondly, in several countries women exceed men, so it may be hard to allow them to find a decent partner. In other cases, men might become too infantile regarding women or treat them badly. Consequently girls seek adore and care elsewhere.

Shakespeare’s Identities: Psychological, Mythic, and Existentialist Perspectives

Driscoll, James P., Ph.D.

Author of Shakespeare and Jung – The God in Time

No dramatist has treated identity in as many ways and in such depth as William Shakespeare. In Shakespeare’s Identities, James P. Driscoll shows how the Bard used history, comedy, tragedy, and romance to develop comprehensive treatments of personal identity.

Driscoll’s innovative study examines four aspects of identity: the conscious, social, real, and ideal. Drawing on Jungian psychoanalysis, Driscoll explores how Shakespeare’s plays dramatize a crucial need for self-knowledge and foreshadow larger identity issues. Sexual identity and the archetype of the outcast provide new perspectives on The Merchant of Venice. Hamlet’s quest for self-knowledge mirrors parallel quests that Jung found mythic heroes pursuing. Iago shrewdly exploits Othello’s racial outcast status and confused conscious and social identities to convince him that Desdemona’s real identity has changed. In Twelfth Night, as in the other romantic comedies, family, relationships, love, friendship, imagination, disguise, and time and place all shape identity. Measure for Measure is a profoundly political drama showing the interdependence of love and knowledge in the quest to understand real identity and achieve ideal identity. King Lear treats identity both archetypally and realistically to create a uniquely powerful tragic vision of the self and divinity.

From Falstaff to Shylock, Hamlet, Othello, Iago, Lear, and Prospero Driscoll offers original insights and perspectives on Shakespeare’s most fascinating characters. This new volume will hold great interest for students of Shakespeare and all English literature, along with all those concerned with the enduring issues of identity.

With the introduction of house spraying with DDT, the adult mosquito becomes the main target, and its domesticity, in biting and resting habits, emerges as the factor determining the success of this new procedure. The human habitation is the “bottle neck” in the life history of a large variety of obnoxious arthropods (not mosquitoes only) where DDT can be applied with the greatest ease and with the maximal effect. Within the house, species sanitation has no significance. Taking into consideration these new concepts in mosquito control, the domestic proclivities of the mosquitoes of the British Guiana coastland have been investigated. For this purpose, material has been collected in six representative localities with varying hydrological characteristics. Observations were taken both by day and by night, and for comparative purposes adult captures were also made with a cattle-baited Shannon dawn trap, and parallel larval surveys have been carried out in most localities. The highly domestic biting and resting habits of A. darlingi have been confirmed, so that the prospects of control of this species, the sole malaria carrier of the region, by spraying with DDT, appear excellent. The same can be said for Aedes aegypti, at present under control in the more densely populated centers by the classical anti-aedes technique. Culex fatigans, with its eclectic biting habits, constitutes a more difficult problem, since spraying of houses will have little effect on its total incidence. Supplementary antilarval measures will be required for its effective control and the prevention of filariasis. Anopheles albitarsis, A. aquasalis an A. triannulatus are all common, but they are zoophilous in their feeding habits and do not enter houses. Aedes taeniorhynchus, Mansonia titillans and Aedeomyia squamipennis enter houses only occasionally, and it cannot be expected that any of these will be influenced by the spraying of houses with DDT.", }

Four cases persisted for more than a year. The initial period of continuous parasitemias in 37 cases persisted for an average of 115.7 ± 7.5 days. This was followed in 23 cases by a period of terminal intermittent parasitemias with a mean duration of 168 ± 19.0 days. There was little difference between blood and sporozoite induced infections where duration of the infection was concerned. The results reported extend to a tropical strain the findings of Eyles and Young (1951) on the duration of a temperate zone strain of P. falciparum. The application of these findings to certain field conditions is discussed. The Panama strain of falciparum apparently is somewhat more virulent than the United States strain. Although the maximum parasite densities were similar in the two strains, the Panama strain was nearly double the U. S. strain in the length of initial clinical episode, number of clinical episodes and total hours of fever. Other criteria suggestive of strain difference are the significantly longer duration of terminal intermittent parasitemias in the Panama strain, the absence of cross-immunity between the two strains, and differences in gametocyte morphology.", }

News: Gibraltar Crescent site to house Singapore’s first dementia care village

Jul 17, 2019

A site at Gibraltar Crescent has been put up for sale by public tender to pilot a dementia care village. In a joint release, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) revealed that the site will be specifically designed to provide a safe, home-like environment wherein residents are assisted to live independently.

Tailored programmes and services will be offered to create meaningful social interactions and participation among residents.

“As a new residential option catering to individuals with varying stages of dementia, this pilot complements the home-based care and dementia day care services available today,” said URA and MOH.

“We hope that the pilot will offer insights into market demand for such facilities and the community needs of persons with dementia, which will contribute to the development of suitable dementia care models in the future.”

Comprising a cluster of 10 state bungalows, the 30-year leasehold site is situated near Sembawang Park. It spans two plots of land, with the larger plot measuring 26,350 sq m, while the other measures 1,756 sq m.

A concept and price revenue tender will be adopted to evaluate the tenders for the site to ensure that the chosen concept proposal is aligned with the government’s vision for the dementia care village.

Tenderers, under this system, are required to separately submit their tender prices and concept proposals.

“The concept proposals will be first evaluated against a set of criteria specified in the tender. The criteria include an assessment of the suitability of the proposed overall model of care for persons with dementia, as well as the quality of the care programmes and services,” explained URA and MOH.

“Only concept proposals that are shortlisted will proceed to the second stage for evaluation, which will be based on price only.”

Thereafter, the site will be awarded to the highest bidder.

The tender for the Gibraltar Crescent site closes on 19 November.
