Lovage

**Lovage** (_Levisticum officinale_) is a tall perennial plant.

## Uses

Lovage leaves can be used in salads or to make soup, and the roots can be eaten as vegetable or grated for use in salads. Lovage seeds can be used as a spice. In the UK, lovage cordial was traditionally mixed with brandy as a winter drink.
White mustard

**White mustard** is an annual plant.

### Cooking

The yellow flowers of the plant make seed pods, with each pod having a half dozen seeds.  These seeds are harvested just before the pods become ripe.

White mustard seeds are hard and round, usually around 1 to 1.5 millimetres, with a color forming from beige or yellow to light brown.

In Greece, the plant's leaves can be eaten during the winter, before it blooms. Greeks call it _vrouves_ or _lapsana_.

The blooming season of this plant (February–March) is celebrated in the Mustard Festival.
Lee Van Cleef

**Clarence LeRoy Van Cleef Jr.** (born January 9, 1925 in Somerville, New Jersey; died December 16, 1989 in Oxnard, California) was an American movie actor who made his name in Westerns. For much of his career, he played villainous characters, but he switched to heroic roles after achieving success in Spaghetti Westerns.

## Career

Van Cleef made his movie debut in the classic Western _High Noon_ (1952) as the outlaw Jack Colby. His role was a non-speaking one, but he played a harmonica as he, Robert J. Wilke, and Sheb Wooley famously waited for the noon train.

Having made a good impression, Van Cleef was in demand to play outlaws through the 1950s and early 1960s. Among his films were _Gunfight at the O.K. Corral_ (1957), _The Tin Star_ (1957), _Ride Lonesome_ (1959), and _The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance_ (1962). He also made numerous television appearances on shows like _The Lone Ranger_, _Tales of Wells Fargo_, _Wagon Train_, _Laramie_, _Bonanza_, and _Gunsmoke_.

In 1965, he was cast as bounty hunter Douglas Mortimer in Sergio Leone's classic Spaghetti Western _For a Few Dollars More_. This was Van Cleef's big break, converting him from supporting actor to lead. He followed up with the role he is perhaps best remembered for, as Angel Eyes ("The Bad") in Leone's epic _The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly_ (1966).

Van Cleef went on to enjoy great success in European cinema, especially in Italy, as the protagonist of many Spaghetti Westerns including _The Big Gundown_ (1966), _Death Rides a Horse_ (1967), _Sabata_ (1969), _Return of Sabata_ (1971), and _Take a Hard Ride_ (1975). In the United States, he starred in Westerns such as _El Condor_ (1970), _Barquero_ (1970), and _The Magnificent Seven Ride!_ (1972).

Morning glory

**Morning glory** is a family of common flowering plants known as Convolvulaceae which includes bindweed.

## Behaviour

Most morning glory flowers curl up and close during the warm parts of the day, and are wide open in the morning, like their name.  On a cloudy day, the flower may last until night. The flowers usually start to fade a few hours before the petals start curling. They prefer full sun throughout the day. Some morning glories - such as _Ipomoea muricata -_ are night-blooming flowers.

## Cooking uses

_Ipomoea aquatica_ (known as "water spinach", "water morning-glory", "water convolvulus", "Ong-Choy", "Kang-kung", or "swamp cabbage") is used as a green vegetable.
Edelweiss

**Edelweiss** is a well-known Europe mountain flower.

## Description

Leaves and flowers are covered with white hairs and look woolly. Each Edelweiss bloom has five to six small yellow flower heads surrounded by leaflets in a star shape. The flowers are in bloom between July and September. The flower also is known as national flowers of Austria and Switzerland.

## Range

The Edelweiss prefers rocky limestone places. It has been used traditionally in folk medicine. The hair on the flower protect the Edelweiss from cold.
Borage

**Borage**, also known as ***starflower***, is an annual herb.
The flowers are perfect with five narrow, triangular-pointed petals. Flowers are most often blue in color, although pink flowers are sometimes examined. White flowered types are also grown.

## Cooking

As a fresh vegetable, borage, with a cucumber like taste, is often used in salads or as a garnish. The flower, which has the non-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid thesinine, has a sweet honey-like taste and as one of the few truly blue-colored eatable things, is often used to decorate dessert.
Garden cress

**Garden cress** (_Lepidium sativum_) is a fast-growing eatable herb that is related to watercress and mustard, sharing their peppery taste and aroma. Garden cress is usually grown in England, France, the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

## Cookery

Garden Cress is added to soups, sandwiches and salads for its tangy taste. It is also eaten as sprouts, and the fresh or dried seed pods can be used as a peppery seasoning.  In England, cut cress shoots are used in sandwiches with boiled eggs, mayonnaise and salt.
Tonka bean

The **tonka bean** is the seed of _Dipteryx odorata_, a species of flowering tree in the pea family Fabaceae. They are black and wrinkled and have a smooth brown center.

## Uses

Tonka Beans had been used as a vanilla substitute, as a perfume, and in tobacco before being banned in some countries. They are used in some French cuisine (particularly, in desserts and stews) and in perfumes. Today, main producers of the seeds are Venezuela and Nigeria.

The beans were also spelled as "Tonquin" and "Tonkin", although it has no link with Tonkin, now part of Vietnam.
Herculaneum

**Herculaneum** was an ancient Roman town. It was completely destroyed when the volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted on 24 August, 79 AD. Herculaneum was covered by volcanic mud during the eruption, which quickly hardened to a semi-rock material. Herculaneum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Unlike Pompeii, the deep pyroclastic material which covered it preserved most objects in its path. Archaeologists have recovered wooden and other objects such as rooves, beds, doors, and food. Some 300 skeletons  were discovered along the sea shore. It was thought until then that the town had been evacuated by its inhabitants.

Herculaneum was a wealthier town than Pompeii, however it was not as famous after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. It had many fine houses with a lavish use of coloured marble cladding, mosaics and wall paintings.
Stratigraphy

**Stratigraphy** is a branch of geology which studies rock formations called strata (layers). It is important in the study of sedimentary and layered vocanic rocks.

## Historical development

The subject was established by Nicolaus Steno whose book _De solido_ contained these principles:
1. _law of superposition_: layers above were laid down after layers below.
1. _principle of original horizontality_: layers horizontal when they were laid down.
1. _principle of lateral continuity_ in layers of sediment. Each stratum extended horizontally until some obstacle stopped it.

William Smith first used stratigraphy for a practical purpose in the 1790s and early 19th century. Smith, nicknamed "Strata Smith", made the first geological map of England. He understood that fossils could be used identify the same strata in different places.

He took samples and mapped the positions of the strata, noted the vertical extent of the strata, and drew cross-sections and tables of what he saw. Smith amassed a huge collection of fossils in strata he had examined. His most significant finding was:
- The _principle of faunal succession_: sedimentary rock strata contain fossilized flora and fauna, and these fossils succeed each other vertically in a specific, reliable order which can be identified over wide horizontal distances.
There are many consequences of this idea. For geologists it means that when they find identical fossils in strata in different parts of the world, those strata were laid down at the same time. Also (this is a later realisation) the ecological conditions in which they were laid down would have been similar or identical in the different places.

## Lithostratigraphy

Lithostratigraphy deals with the physical rock type and how it changes from place to place. Changes in the rock (facies change) reflect changing environments of deposition. One of stratigraphy's basic concepts is codified in the _law of superposition_, which simply states that, in an undeformed stratigraphic sequence, the oldest strata occur at the base of the sequence.

## Biostratigraphy

Biostratigraphy is based on fossil evidence in the rock layers. If strata from different places have the same fossil fauna and flora, they were laid down at the same time.

Biostratigraphy was based on William Smith's _principle of faunal succession_, which was one of the first and most powerful lines of evidence for evolution. It gives evidence of the formation (speciation) and extinction of species.

The geological timescale was developed during the 19th century based on the evidence of biostratigraphy and faunal succession. This timescale remained a relative scale until the development of radiometric dating, which gave it an absolute time framework.
Insulin pump

**Insulin pumps** are medical devices used to administering insulin for treatment of diabetes mellitus. These devices are an alternative to constant and daily injections of insulin via syringe or pen. An insulin pump allows intensive insulin therapy when used along with carb counting and blood glucose monitors.
Waves at shallow water

**Waves at shallow water** develop when the ocean surface waves travel into the coastal area where the wavelength is much larger than the water depth. The normal circular motion of the water particles there is disrupted by the ocean bottom.  As the water becomes shallower, the swell on the water surface becomes higher and steeper.  After the wave breaks, the water flows violently, turbulently. This is where erosion of the ocean bottom and shore line intensifies dramatically. The most devastating effect may happen in the case of tsunami.

Alderney camps

The **Alderney concentration camps** were built and operated by Nazi Germany during its World War II occupation of the Channel Islands. The Channel Islands were the only British Commonwealth soil to be occupied by the Nazis. The Nazis built four concentration camps on Alderney Island, subcamps of the Neuengamme camp outside Hamburg. They were named after the Frisian Islands: Lager Norderney, Lager Borkum, Lager Sylt and Lager Helgoland. The Nazi Organisation Todt operated each subcamp and used forced labour to build bunkers, gun emplacements, air-raid shelters, and concrete fortifications. The camps started working in January 1942 and had a total inmate population of about 6,000.

The _Borkum_ and _Helgoland_ camps were "volunteer" (Hilfswillige) labour camps and the labourers in those camps were treated harshly but a little bit better than the inmates at the _Sylt_ and _Norderney_ camps. The prisoners in _Lager Sylt_ and _Lager Norderney_ were slave labourers forced to build the many military fortifications and installations throughout Alderney. _Sylt camp_ held Jewish enforced labourers. _Norderney camp_ housed European (usually Eastern but including Spaniard) and Russian enforced labourers. _Lager Borkum_ was used for German technicians and "volunteers" from different countries of Europe. _Lager Helgoland_ was filled with Russian Organisation Todt workers.

In 1942, _Lager Norderney_, containing Russian and Polish POWs, and _Lager Sylt_, holding Jews, were placed under the control of the SS Hauptsturmführer Max List. Over 700 of the inmates lost their lives before the camps were closed and the remaining inmates transferred to Nazi Germany in 1944.

## War crime trials

After World War II, a court-martial case was prepared against ex-SS Hauptsturmführer Max List, citing atrocities on Alderney. However, he did not stand trial, and is believed to have lived near Hamburg until his death in the 1980s.
Lager Borkum

**Lager Borkum** was a Nazi concentration camp on Alderney, in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, in the Channel Islands, named after the East Frisian Island of Borkum.

The Germans built four concentration camps on the island, subcamps of the Neuengamme concentration camp (in Hamburg, Germany). Each subcamp was named after one of the Frisian Islands: Lager Norderney at Saye, _Lager Borkum_ at Platte Saline, Lager Sylt near the old telegraph tower at La Foulère and Lager Helgoland, in the northwest corner of the island. Over 700 people died in the Alderney concentration camps (out of a total inmate population of about 6,000). These were the only Nazi concentration camps on British soil.

It was organised by the Schutzstaffel - SS-Baubrigade I–which was first under supervision of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp; and after mid-February 1943 ran under the Neuengamme camp in northern Germany. It was used by the Nazi Organisation Todt, a forced labour programme, to build bunkers, gun emplacements, air-raid shelters, and concrete fortifications.

_Lager Borkum_ was near the centre of Alderney and was the smallest of the four camps. The _Borkum_ and _Helgoland_ camps were "volunteer" (Hilfswillige) labour camps and the labourers in those camps were treated harshly but marginally better than the inmates at the _Sylt_ and _Norderney_ camps. The prisoners in _Lager Sylt_ and _Lager Norderney_ were slave labourers forced to build the many military fortifications and installations throughout Alderney. _Sylt camp_ held Jewish enforced labourers and was a death camp. _Norderney camp_ housed European (usually Eastern but including Spaniard) and Russian enforced labourers. _Lager Borkum_ was used for German technicians and volunteers from different countries of Europe. _Lager Helgoland_ was filled with Russian Organisation Todt workers. (For further information on Alderney concentration camps, see _Appendix F: Concentration Camps: Endlösung – The Final Solution_; _Alderney, a Nazi concentration camp on an island Anglo-Norman_;.

## War crime trials

After World War II, a court-martial case was prepared against ex-SS Hauptsturmführer Max List (the former commandant of Lagers Norderney and Sylt), citing atrocities on Alderney. However, he did not stand trial, and is believed to have lived near Hamburg until his death in the 1980s.

Lager Helgoland

**Lager Helgoland** was a Nazi concentration camp on Alderney in the Channel Islands, named after the Frisian Island of Heligoland (), a former British possession handed over to Germany in 1890.

The Germans built four concentration camps on Alderney, run as subcamps of the Neuengamme concentration camp (in Hamburg, Germany). Each subcamp was named after one of the Frisian Islands:
- Lager Norderney at Saye,
- Lager Borkum at Platte Saline,
- Lager Sylt near the old telegraph tower at La Foulère and
- _Lager Helgoland_, in the northwest corner of the island.

700 people died in the Alderney concentration camps (out of a total inmate population of about 6,000). These were the only Nazi concentration camps on British soil.
