Juniper berry
A juniper berry is the female seed cone produced by various species of junipers. It is used as a flavoring agent in northern European and Scandinavian cuisine for meat dishes. Juniper is used to flavor gin, a liquor developed in the 17th century in the Netherlands. Juniper berries are among the only spices derived from conifers, along with spruce buds. This photograph shows foliage and cones of Juniperus communis, the common juniper, in Keila, Estonia. This picture was focus-stacked from 55 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

A word from the editor

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus (born 1980) - Short story: I am a geek, otaku, a net freelancer, Mensa member, Singularitarian, Magister Artium in economics (Akademia Ekonomiczna w Krakowie since April'04 (Top 10 in my year), one of Top 500 (or Top 1%) of most active Wikipedians. 349 to be exact (as of 27th April). Registered on Wiki on 10 Apr 2004 but I did few edits since December 2003 as an anon. On 26 January I was elected to the position of a Wikipedia administrator. Oh yes, I am a Pole so read on how to deal with Poles! :>

I love sharing my knowledge and the idea of telecommuting, so Wiki is a 'home quite close to home' for me, also illustrating the truth in saying if you find work you like, you will never work again. Working on Wiki gives me this great feeling of doing something good and useful *now* - anybody can access my work anytime the will, there are no delays in article publications, no restriction on who has enough money to pay for my work (hmmm, I can see a problem with this in the long run though... :>). I have now seen Wikipedia grow for over a year, and it is amazing. I am sure that in the near future Wiki will rival Google as the best tool on the web. And, of course, if it is, it should be on Wiki.

My interests concentrate around history (including counterfactual history), political sciences, communication, technological singularity, sociology, economics and finally, as a perhaps bit more trivial hobby, all things related to good science fiction. Oh, and games. I am a founding member of the Polish Ludology Association, after all :)

I have started PhD studies in October'04 in Poland (Akademia Ekonomiczna w Katowicach) in the areas of computer science and economics (specifically, user interface impact on society and vice versa), but I am now switching to studying the impact of changes in communication technology on evolution of political systems. After all, history of democracy has been my top interest for the past - oh, 4 years now. I will likely do some historical research as well, regarding Golden Freedoms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its impact on development of democracy worldwide. From August'05 I will be researching those subjects at the University of Pittsburgh. If for some bizarre reason you need to now more about me, see my off-wiki homepage.

Markham's storm petrel

Markham's storm petrel (Hydrobates markhami) is a seabird native to the Pacific Ocean around Peru, Chile, and Ecuador. It is a large and slender storm petrel; its plumage is black to sooty brown with a grayish bar that runs diagonally across the upper side of the wings. A colonial breeder, the species nests in natural cavities in salt crusts in northern Chile and Peru; 95 percent of the known colonies are found in the Atacama Desert. Pairs produce one egg per season, which is laid on bare ground without any nesting material. Parents will attend their brood only at night, returning to the sea before dawn. The diet of Markham's storm petrel consists mainly of fish, cephalopods and crustaceans. Despite its relatively large population, the species is in decline and listed as near threatened. Primary threats are habitat destruction and light pollution, which attracts or disorients fledglings on their first flight to the sea. (Full article...)
