Northern Cyprus is Greek Cypriots' land, built by their fathers, and forefathers, centuries ago. Northern Cyprus belongs to their children and grandchildren. It doesn't belong to investors from Turkey or settlers, or people who don't cherish it and love it the way we do. Northern Cyprus was a unique and prosperous place before 1974. Famagusta has been left for 46 years decaying, derelict, looted, deprived of its legal owners, pray to snakes and rats. For nearly half a century, the Greek Cypriots gaze at their city from afar, they know that the Turkish army is there, they know that they have taken over their houses and hotels to settle the families of their army but they will always remain, their hotels, their houses, their properties. The Turkish government needs to stay away from Cyprus, from Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots and respect their human rights, their right to bring peace and prosperity back to their country. The Greek Cypriots can put it back together. They are the legal owners of the land.

I know all about the Turkish violence from the Armenian side of my heritage. Turkey was founded so very recently in 1923, and it’s made up of mixed multi ethnicities. Turkey tries to present itself as an ancient nation but it’s not. And I hate to use blanket statements, because obviously Turkish people are individuals, and individuals are different. Still, there are certain things that should be pointed out

In 356 BCE, Herostratus set fire to the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus. Herostratus was an Ancient Greek arsonist who destroyed the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in an attempt to immortalise his name. His name has become a metonym for someone who commits a criminal act in order to become famous. For this outrage, the Ephesians sentenced Herostratus to death and forbade anyone from mentioning his name. @GreekLeague

We have sooooo much lemon balm. I made a tincture and oil and today I will be drying herbs in the oven for tea. If you live in an area with low humidity, you can hang herbs to dry, but if there's a lot of humidity in the air, the herbs can get moldy. This makes oven drying a great alternative!

How to Oven Dry Herbs
1. Let any surface moisture from the herbs to dry (I leave them overnight after harvesting).
2. Take the leaves off their stems and place on a baking sheet (You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper if you want, but this is not necessary). Make sure they are in a single layer on the sheet.
3. Put your oven on its lowest setting and put the herbs in the oven. Do not close the oven door.
4. I like to check the herbs every 15 minutes or so, and I will also rotate the baking sheets.
5. When the herbs are crunchy and crumbly they are done. Do not be alarmed if they take on a brownish hue or the green color fades - this is normal and happens with any drying process.

Ogma, Celtic god of poets and bards, speech and language who gave the gift of the Ogham, the literary system of the Celts.
He is described as “the fairest of the sons of Danu.”
It is said that rays of sun
would beam from his hair,
and he was called “Ogma grian-aineacg, of the Sunny Countenance.”
