Pregnant women exposed to pollen shortly before birth are more likely to have children with severe asthma - Daily Mail

It is also possible that pregnant women with severe reactions to pollen suffer complications that affect the child, it is claimed.The scientists, led by Dr Adrian Lowe, from the University of Umea, wrote: 'It is likely that pollen sensitised mothers exposed to high levels of pollen during pregnancy are at increased risk of symptoms and asthma exacerbations. This may in turn change the intrauterine environment..'Alternatively, symptomatic mothers during high pollen periods may have an increased risk of pregnancy complications, including pre-eclampsia, pre-term birth and impaired foetal growth, which could influence the risk of wheezing illness.'Further work is required to elucidate exactly how pollen exposure may prime the foetal immune system towards severe respiratory illness in early life.'... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2258530/Pregnant-women-exposed-pollen-shortly-birth-likely-children-severe-asthma.html

Flowers power effort to help more kids study music

Newark-Granville Symphony Orchestra. How great is that?!?” Casting around for ideas for money-making projects, Eli turned to his great-great-uncle Adrian, who is 98-years old and living in Connecticut, where he still farms. His great-great-uncile suggested Eli plant and sell zinnias. Eli seized on the idea. His grandmother acquired the seeds, then Eli planted 1,000 of them before heading to camp for a month near Indianapolis. While her big brother was at camp, sister Devon, age 7, and a student at Granville Elementary School and the rest of his  family tended to Eli’s developing plants. “They were just blooms,” when he left for camp, Eli said. He returned to something else. “I was really surprised to come back and see them like this,” he said. On the afternoon of Aug. 7, the Davidoff family, including father Adam, were in the parking lot of Ross’ IGA for the Tuesday Farmer’s Market, selling Eli's locally grown bouquets of zinnias, “100% of the proceeds” from which go to the “Overture Project.” School schedules allowing, Eli’s plan is to be at as many Tuesday Farmer’s Markets as he can, selling his Granville-grown zinnias. The Granville Area Chamber of Commerce Tuesday Farmers’ Market is held each Tuesday, from 3-6 p.m., in the parking lot of Ross Granville Market, 484 S. Main St., in Granville. https://www.newarkadvocate.com/story/news/local/granville/2018/08/14/flowers-power-effort-help-more-lower-income-kids-study-music/934013002/

TJ and Camille, Jocelyn, 13, and Katarina, 11.TJ was diagnosed with autism at age 2, Shuster wrote in his essay, and Jennifer, who had studied journalism at Michigan State University, put her career on hold to stay home with her children."If it wasn’t for my wife our autistic son would not be where he is today," Shuster wrote. "His success and progress is mostly because of his mama."Shuster's letter resonated.In an email, the anonymous customer told Van Ark his own marriage had come with "career disappointments and multiple re-locations across the country, problems with relatives, miscarriages, and health concerns.""The marriage itself never, ever wavered," he said. "We were going to be together no matter because no matter what we faced, we would face it together, and that’s how it was when she died: we were together."B/A Florist staff delivered the roses to Jennifer Shuster on Feb. 24 at East Lansing City Hall, where she is a clerk.She's never received a flower arrangement that "extravagant," Jennifer Shuster said in an email to the State Journal.The story behind it brought her to tears, she said."...it forced me to slow down during my busy life and think about the life of a woman I never knew," Jennifer Shuster said in the email.The anonymous customer has already discussed continuing to gift flowers to another couple next year, Van Ark said."I guess the way I see it is, she was truly the love of his life, and even though she's not here in body she's no further away in his heart," she said.Contact Rachel Greco at rgreco@lsj.com. Follow her on Twitter @GrecoatLSJ. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2020/03/04/east-lansing-flower-shop-customer-honors-late-wife-anonymous-gift/4884506002/

Gardening: Succulents not only save water and money, but offer other benefits - OCRegister

Beaucarnea ‘Gold Star’). I was also introduced to a whole new line of hybrids known as Mangaves (man-GAH-vays) that were created in Zeeland, Michigan, by plant breeder Hans Hansen at Walters Gardens. Mangaves are intergeneric crosses between Manfreda, a genus of deciduous sidereal succulents, and Agave species. While crafted in Michigan, these hybrids are meant for mild winter climates such as our own, although there is considerable variability among Mangaves and some do tolerate sub-freezing temperatures.The extradordinary Mangave ‘Kaleidoscope,’ for example, can survive temperatures into the mid 20’s. Arching, gently toothed, lance-shaped leaves show off bands of red, green, and yellow upon which congruous rosy red spots are scattered. If its foliage was not enough to recommend this cultivar, it also sends up lightly scented green flowers in summer than attract hummingbirds.It needs to be said that the growth rate of Mangaves is significantly faster than that of agaves. Mangaves, like agaves, also self-propagate by means of pups or offsets so that you will have more of your selected cultivar in due course.The challenge in designing a garden of succulents is to exercise restraint since the exotic looks of many succulent species make them ideal as accents or standalone subjects, like precious works of art. Given this embarrassment of horticultural riches, the ability to combine and balance their forms and colors is a rare talent.The Getty Museum roof garden is instructive when it comes to tastefully filling your yard with succulents. Although this garden is massive in size, the designer confined plant selection, primarily, to tree aloes (Aloe bainesii), apple cacti (Cereus spp.), candelabra trees (Euphoriba ingens), century plants (Agave americana ‘Variegata’), beavertail cacti (Opuntia spp.), and golden barrel cacti (Echinocactus grusonii) with patches of red and blue ground cover succulents added here and there for good measure.If you visit smgrowers.com, you will find a listing of retail nurseries near you which, upon request, will special order any of the plants grown by San Marcos Growers.Tip of the Week: Several plants with blue foliage that I had never seen before captured my attention at San Marcos Growers. Since blue is the rarest flower color, there is a gap in the horticultural color spectrum that is nicely filled by plants with blue leaves which may explain our attraction to them.Blue bush (Acacia covenyi) is an Australian native which, if relatively short-lived like many Acacia species, is hardy down to 15 degrees. This large shrub or small tree, growing quickly to a height of twenty feet, may be planted in all soil types, even clay, but should be watered sparingly, if at all. Eucalyptus ‘Moon Lagoon’ is another blue-leaved beauty. It does not exceed 12 feet in height and its foliage is perfect as a bouquet filler, as well as being highly suitable for an everlasting or dry flower arrangement. Next among the blue-leaved brigade is skyscraper Senecio (Senecio ‘Mount Everest’). The name of this plant was clearly given tongue-in-cheek since it grows to only three feet tall. However, its leaves are virtually identical to those seen on the ubiquitous blue chalk sticks (Senecio serpens) ground cover, and so the comical idea of giving a moniker representing outrageous height to this related, if still not very tall, cultivar came to be. Finally, Big Bend yucca (Yucca rostrata ‘... https://www.ocregister.com/gardening-succulents-not-only-save-water-and-money-but-offer-other-benefits

America’s Cup, which was the qualifier to send the U.S.A. representative to the World Cup.

The vases are from 46 & Spruce and are nice keepsakes of their own.
