Blackbrows, Velveteens, and Imeretian Saffron:
Marigold as one of many National symbols of Ukraine How had it become one, not being a native flower? Many years ago, arriving in an oiled leather satchel, the seeds were thrown into unfamiliar, but welcoming Ukrainian soil. They grew strong and tall stalks, nourished by abundant rains and nutritious turf. Fringed leaves unfurled and spread, golden heads bloomed and filled out with velvety broad petals. Hence one of the names assigned to it in Ukraine- Velveteens. The accommodating flower bloomed early and stayed bright throughout the summer, it dried beautifully and filled the house with warm scent during the winter. Marigolds were added to wreaths and headdresses, embroidered on shirts and grown around the houses as a symbol of good fortune. The Ukrainians have grown to love the versatile flower so much they composed legends and sang songs about it, so the flower had become a part of Ukrainian culture, taking deep root in folklore.

The General's Bones
2009 The Afghan National Army base at the end of the Darulaman Road was as neat and well maintained as any site in a country broken by the devastation of war. The feeling of pride of place and the positive attitude of the personnel working there was pleasantly palpable. It was just so very different from most places in the careworn nation.

Black Diamonds Off the Back of That Guy's White Ford F100
Call it 1993. One summer in the early 1990s, hubby and I were selling raw stones at the Harrison County, Mississippi gem and mineral show. A guy in a white Ford truck with Alabama plates pulled up. Nervous guy. Probably broke too, because he doesn't have $60 to pay the booth fee. Instead, he sort of slipped sideways into the show, and pretty soon he arrived at us.

Beyond the Marigold
It was a cold, breezy morning on the coast. The wind whistled as the dew dripped off the leaves so carelessly falling onto the pavement. I caressed the soft leaves of the trees as I walked slowly along the hiking trail. “Deep breath in,” I say aloud, slowly exhaling while my dog sniffs a nearby tree. He lifts his leg to do his business. I take a puff, and exhale. I wait for him to finish while a hummingbird sits on a distant branch peeking out through the leaves every now and then.

The Largest Lakes in the World

Today we bring you the list of the largest lakes in the world.

The Red Planet
The Red Planet NASA has two other orbiters of the planet Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mav, both entering the Earth's atmosphere and the ever-changing evolution of the planet. Two rovers headed to parts of Mars that had never been explored before seeing a UAE Landing spot, and the orbiter was tracking changes in the Martian atmosphere. Like a rover mission, the orbiter acts as a communication link and travels to the nearest Martian planet-wide exploration route.

Life in Moon
Life in moon While the moon now appears to be a waste and full of impact limits, new research suggests it may have once supported life. According to Dirk Makuch of Washington State University and Ian Crawford of the University of London, there were two occasions when the moon formed where it could be on the moon for life. In today's world of moons, life is impossible, even though life may have originated from a few letters introduced during the Cold War by American and Soviet lunar missions.
