- Urban Farmer in Milwaukee — Founder of Nonprofit — Receives MacArthur Genius Grant
- Will Allen, an urban farmer in Milwaukee, Wisc., was one of 25 people to receive the $500,000 no-strings-attached MacArthur Fellowship this year. Allen is the founder and CEO of Growing Power, a nonprofit organization and land trust to provide people with good health via affordable, quality food.
To me, the fact that an urban farmer leading a nonprofit for the benefit of teaching communities to grow, in a slew of meaningful ways, can receive such a prestigious fellowship — and the associated financial boon — is remarkable.
Along with Allen, there was a saxophonist genius, a lighting designer genius, a neuroscientist genius, an astronomer genius, a fiber artist genius, a geriatrician genius and on and on.

By Daniellle Sims
If you are just starting to familiarize yourself with herbsand would like to add a versatile herb to your cabinet,
then you may want to take a look at chamomile as your
first choice. Chamomile, a flower in the daisy family,
is one of the oldest and most favorite of all herbs dating
back to ancient Egyptians. It's both a pretty flower and an
ancient healer. This delicate flower is dried and drunk as
a tea or used as an extract topically. Here in the United
States, oral chamomile is used primarily for relaxation and sleep.
This herb is most often associated with tea or herbal remedies.
The flowers of the herb chamomile are infused in hot water make
a soothing tea. It is probably the most widely used relaxing
nervine herb in the western world. An anti-inflammatory and
anti spasmodic herb, chamomile helps to calm down spasms of the
digestive tract in conditions of cramping and indigestion.
This herb has also been said to rejuvenate the skin and hair.
To make a quick and easy tea facials simply apply a paste made
from one teaspoon of fine cornmeal mixed with cooled chamomile
tea to the face, let dry, then gently rub off. For skin
irritation and sunburn, make a strong tea of chamomile and
apply at least three times a day.
For application to the skin, chamomile tea is prepared, cooled
and applied as often as needed. This very gentle skin tonic is
ideal to replenish and enrich dry or sensitive skin. It is a
bactericidal, anti-itching, soothing antiseptic, refresher to
the skin and reduces swelling. Using chamomile as an external
wash in strong infusion, or decoction, or as part of a hot
compress, the herb can also soothe burns and scalds, skin
rashes, and sores. This herbal flower makes a fantastic skin
care treatment.
Chamomile is an herb that people have used for centuries.
Chamomile is one of the most popular herbs in the world,
available in a variety of forms. It is one of the most favored
medicinal plants in the world. For this reason alone, Chamomile
is a very desirable plant.
