A significant building in Slavonski Brod on the banks of the Sava. It was collapsing for years, but in the last couple of years, reconstruction has begun. On the left is the restored part, and on the right is the condition as it was found and has yet to be restored. There is a lot of work, but the result of what has been done so far is astonishing. You can find out more about the facility itself at: www.slavonski-brod.hr/kiosk/English/tvrdjava.html
Most people know that Tulips grow from a bulb and most tulip bulbs only produce one flower on a stem. Tulips only bloom for 3 to 7 days in spring but the freshly cut tulips flowers will continue to grow in your vase to gain about another inch in height. When the bulb has finished flowering, the flower and leaves wither, but its important not to cut these off as the nutrients in the leaves and flower go back into the bulb which then lays dormant until the following spring when they start to show signs of life again. An interesting fact is that the variegated Tulips originally started to appear because of a viral disease which was transferred to the bulbs by aphids many years ago.

About Trilobites:
Trilobites (meaning three lobes) are a fossil group of extinct marine arthropods from the class Trilobita. Trilobites are one of the earliest known groups of arthropods, and first appeared in the fossil records during the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago). They flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic era before beginning a drawn-out decline to extinction during the Devonian period. All Trilobite orders except Proetida died out at this time. Trilobites finally disappeared completely due to a mass extinction event at the end of the Permian period (about 250 million years ago). Trilobites were among the most successful of all early life on Earth, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.

Interesting Facts about Strawberries
In actuality strawberry is not a fruit but only an enlarged receptacle of the flower of the plant in which strawberries grow.
In the 13th century, strawberry was known more for its medicinal value than as a delicious fruit to be consumed. Strawberries were widely cultivated in ancient Rome to be used in various medicines prepared by them to treat diseases like skin discoloration and digestive disorders. Belgium even maintains an exclusive strawberry museum to enlighten people more about the use and medicinal value of this fruit that belongs to the rose family.
Attempts to produce new hybrid varieties of strawberry were started in the world as early as in 1700. The experiments made by the French scientists to create a new breed of strawberry by crossing the strawberries brought from North America with the varieties from Chile became a success in 1700s. It is a scientifically proven fact that strawberry has more nutritional value than many other fruits that we consume. It contains 20% RDA of folic acid in a single serving. This water-dissolvable vitamin that is found in large amounts in strawberries is known for its ability to reduce birth defects involving various nerves and brain disorders.

"My house is made out of balsa wood. When no one is home across the street, except the little kids, I go out and lift my house up over my head. I tell them to stay out of my yard or I'll throw it at them."
-Steven Wright
Did you know that Balsa can grow from eight to ten feet tall in six months? Native to Central & South America, the Balsa tree is sometimes referred to as a "nursing tree". When the Balsa propagates, it does so like a dandelion, releasing thousands of tiny little flying seeds. These seeds travel great distances, and find their way in to the damp ground. There they'll lie, sometimes for years at a time, until the ground is heated, either by sun or occasionally by fire. At this time, they'll grow at an amazing rate, and with giant leaves that provide an immediate shade to the ground below, allowing more delicate growth the chance to thrive without being torched by the sun. By the time the growth beneath the Balsa has secured its place in the jungle, the Balsa is ready to die.

"The joys of life are hidden in small things,
No one knows the happiness a tiny moment brings,
The slightest of a gesture of love,
Takes us to the seventh heaven and above...
These are the things that make life beautiful,
Lived once and remembered always as wonderful!"

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
During the poetry unit in 7th grade English class, we studied this poem by Robert Frost. We were forced to go around the room and share who/what the person made us think of. Thinking nothing of it, I said Santa Claus (hiding + bells + promises+ miles to go before sleeping = COME ON) and everyone laughed, including my teacher (who was a psycho who threatened to shoot us once, but that's beside the point).
Every time I read this poem I think of that day in class. The day I was completely off track by being reminded of Santa, but the idiot kid next to me was right on track by being reminded of a cowboy. WTF.
The stupid things you never forget, how weird.
