Pomegranate Peel Extract – compilation of research

Around the world there are many teams working on uses of pomegranate peel for industrial, agricultural, food application, and human and veterinarian health care purposes. Much of it is organized in an initial draft along with links to some of my previous work on developing home recipes for personal use of pomegranate peel extract.

  • See: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1biWxjYHOHd-i73Wui69QIO6zVuqNwGHZdYU56H9pLTw/edit?usp=sharing
  • I will continue to work towards combining the previous information I’ve found and recipes and the new list of research references into one cohesive document, however in the interest of open research and advancing health and sustainability I’m sharing the initial draft now.
  • The health benefits have seemed like a miracle to me, sharing the good news in hope that it reaches more people is my goal.

Fonia- sustainable grain

Our changing world and growing population can benefit from changing what we put on our menu plans – change what we eat often. Fonia is a drought tolerant grain in the millet family which can be harvested in just six to eight weeks from planting and it tolerates poor soil conditions.

Fonia is native to West African countries and may also have been used by ancient Egyptian cultures as the grain has been found in archeological sites.

Fonia is cooked similarly to rice but is a smaller grain. It would be good as a hot breakfast porridge or used like rice in salads or side dishes. It is gluten free, rich in fiber, protein, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins. For more information and a couple recipes see: “Whole Grains- Fonio,” By Jessica Levinson, Today’s Dietitian, https://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/0918p12.shtml

No one is illegal.

Children have been separated from their asylum seeking families and kept in tents in detention centers in the U.S.. Two children and a toddler have died in U.S. custody. Unsafe conditions in the nations that people have been leaving were caused in part by previous U.S. policies.

Climate change is going to lead to more issues in the future due to weather related disasters or loss of normal crops or marine harvests. The U.S. was built on First Nation lands by immigrants.

More images including some narrative and descriptions are available in an album https://photos.app.goo.gl/U93ZwzBnYJduFVET8

The image album includes images of the camp before it was being taken down and during the process. A few shots may include children walking in a row in the distance. Anyone in a bright yellow green vest would be an employee.

The image collection also includes images of the border wall and views of Mexico through a small opening in the fence or through the fencing grid. Yellow-headed blackbirds migrate through the area. There is a wetland on the Mexico side of the border. The birds are said in local legend to show up when someone is leaving – approximately 3000 children leaving to go to a sponsor home or a state run foster care type home this year. One video of the flock of birds flying in a murmuration display is included along with some views of the flock in flight, roosting along telephone wires and also in a large mass in an open area within the fenced enclosure. Freedom – free to fly!

The last of the children left on Friday January 11, 2019, generally flying out from a nearby airport to meet a sponsor family in another state.
