Black Walnut
The bittersweet and nutritious oil of the black walnut has a long history
of medicinal and food uses. Once used as treatment for diphtheria and
syphilis, black walnut is now used mostly for the astringent properties of
its hulls and bark. It has been used world-wide for several centuries for
its anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal actions and remains in
use today. Studies of black walnut are scarce. However, the existing data
coupled with overwhelming cross-cultural use of black walnut in treating
similar health conditions for centuries cannot be ignored. Further studies
are certainly warranted and deserving for the use of black walnut in
Western medicine.
Directions
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].

Dark Sky, Black Sea: Aircraft Carrier Night and All-Weather Operations
Summary Brown was a US Navy pilot involved in night flying from carriers for many years. He traces the history of the practice from the early experiments in the 1920s through the wars that followed to the naval air combat during the war against Iraq when night flying was common. He looks at how changes in the technology of both the carriers and the planes have made it safer. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Publisher's Notes One of the aviator's greatest challenges--and fears--is flying in foul weather from an aircraft carrier. With only instruments to guide them, pilots are under constant pressure to keep their aircraft under control as the author of this book knows well. Charles Brown is a veteran naval aviator who participated in many of the operations he describes and helped develop the tactics to make such operations possible. His book addresses that significant but frequently overlooked part of carrier history: the ability of carrier combat units to fly and fight at night and in any weather condition.
From the early experiments on the USS Langley in the 1920s, the work traces the changes in the aviator's training, operational techniques, and tactics as technological improvements were made. It shows how the addition of the angled deck and mirror to the carrier, for example, had a dramatic impact on night flying. It chronicles developments before and during World War II as well as the Korean, Vietnam, and Cold Wars and closes with a vivid description of naval air combat during the Persian Gulf War, a time when night flying operations had become common.
As the book illustrates, technological advances in both carrier systems and airplanes have reduced the dangers of night/all weather operations over the years, provoking some of today's aviators to claim, "The night belongs to us." Brown believes they have achieved the right to claim at least partial ownership. He reminds readers that the developments described are one of the primary reasons carriers remain a major combat force in the U.S. military. Accented with lively anecdotes by participants, this is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of the subject and will appeal to everyone interested in aviation.
