Attempts At Colonization
Raleigh and the attempted colonization of Virginia.—England's struggle with Spain for empire did not end with an attack on her fleets and her colonies. Men soon arose who dared to dispute Spain's monopoly by planting colonies in the lands claimed by His Catholic Majesty. The leader in the enterprise was Sir Walter Raleigh. In 1584 he received a patent similar to that of Gilbert. Two vessels were soon despatched under Amadas and Barlowe. They followed the southern route by the Canaries and the West Indies, and finally landed on Roanoke Island, taking possession of that region, which was named Virginia in honor of Elizabeth, a name which was soon applied to the country from the Spanish settlements to Newfoundland. In April of the following year Grenville commanded a second expedition which took out the first colonists, who made a settlement on Roanoke Island. In 1586 supply ships were sent out, but they found the settlement deserted. Wearied by the hard winter, the settlers had accepted an offer from Sir Francis Drake, who had been raiding in the Caribbean, to carry them back to England.
In 1587 another group of colonists including almost a hundred men, seventeen women, and several children, was sent out under Governor John White and landed at Roanoke. White returned to England, but owing to the naval war with Spain and other difficulties he was unable to go to Virginia again until 1591, when he found only deserted ruins. News of the English intrusion caused alarm on the Spanish frontier, and the governor of Florida in person led a counter expedition up the coast as far as Chesapeake Bay. To this day the fate of the Roanoke colony is a mystery, but light on the matter may yet be shed by the Spanish archives.
Raleigh's Orinoco expedition.—The discoveries of the Spaniards in Mexico and Peru spurred the Englishman to attempt to find similar lands of treasure. A story became current that in the interior of South America on the upper waters of the Amazon and the Orinoco was a great kingdom, which contained a powerful city called Manoa. It was also believed that in the interior there was a mountain of sapphire and a land ruled by female warriors called Amazons. After the failure of the Roanoke enterprise, Raleigh became interested in this land of wonders, and in 1594 sent a vessel to the Guiana coast to obtain information. The following year Raleigh himself made an exploration of the delta of the Orinoco and ascended the main stream a considerable distance. But the city of Manoa proved elusive, supplies ran short, and the expedition returned to England.

The 8 Most Rare and Unusual Flowers in the World
Are you a lover of all things beautiful? Do you get excited at the sight of lovely flowers? If so, then this article is for you! Flowers have been appreciated by humans for thousands of years for their beauty and fragrance. While most people know about the most common types of flowers in the world, there are some that not many know about. These 8 rare and unusual flowers might just be the perfect addition to your knowledge and appreciation of these beautiful natural creations.
Indian Rare Blue Lotus
The Indian rare blue lotus is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. A member of the water lily family, it is often used in Buddhist ceremonies. It is also known as nelumbo Nucifera and has been grown in Asia for many centuries. It has blue flowers with an orange center and is highly fragrant. It is an aquatic plant and can reach up to 1.5 meters in depth and width, making it ideal for large ponds. It is a beautiful addition to almost any garden.
Stinking Rocket
The stinking rocket is a rare plant native to the Mediterranean region. It belongs to the genus Erysimum and is known to emit a very pungent smell. This smell can be described as a cross between rotting fish and bad cheese. The smell is strongest when the flowers bloom and can be smelt from a distance of up to 100 meters. The flowers are violet-colored and appear in clusters at the tops of the plants. They are pollinated by bees, which are not deterred by their smell.
The ghost orchid is a flowering plant that is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It is a part of the genus Dendrobium and is known for its strange and mysterious appearance. The flowers are white in color and resemble white cotton wads affixed to branches. They are pollinated by insects, which are lured by their strong fragrance. The orchid is named 'ghost' because it is believed that the flowers look like they are covered in cobwebs.
Dragon Flower
The dragon flower (Dracunculus vulgaris) is a spectacular flower that blooms in the spring. It's really only known to grow in a few areas of the world, including Southern Europe and Northern Africa, as well as in a few areas of Asia. The dragon flower gets its name from the purple-red color of its petals, which is a striking color when compared to the green leaves. The dragon flower's petals are wide and heart-shaped, with jagged edges that remind one of the scales of a dragon. These exotic flowers are also called the stork's bill, as they might be familiar to some as a baby's pacifier. The dragon flower makes a beautiful addition to any garden, especially if you live in an area where it's able to survive. The dragon flower has a very unique scent, which is both sweet and pungent.
The desert rose (Adenium obesum) is a beautiful flower that's native to countries in Northern Africa and the Middle East. This flower, with its striking crimson-red blooms, is something you might see in a garden that is both cultivated and natural. The desert rose is also known as the friendship tree, as people have been using it for centuries as a gift for friends and loved ones. The desert rose was once even thought to have medicinal properties, though this is no longer believed to be true. The desert rose is a succulent that can grow up to 7 feet tall in its natural habitat, but it's also grown as a houseplant in other parts of the world.
The kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos flavidus) is found growing naturally in the Australian Outback. The bright red and yellow flowers on this plant are a unique and beautiful sight. Kangaroo paw is a type of grass, which is why it's known as a paw. Kangaroo paw is grown in gardens all over the world, though most people grow them as a single flower rather than a large patch of them. These vibrant flowers are known to last a long time when properly cared for, and they make a stunning addition to any garden or bouquet.
Dark-leafed Calanthe
The dark-leafed calanthe (Calanthe vestescens) is a beautiful flower that's native to Brazil. It's also known as the Brazilian orchid due to its relation to orchids. The dark-leafed calanthe is a truly unique flower, with petals that are a deep magenta color. This flower is not only stunning to look at but also smells absolutely amazing. These flowers are fairly easy to grow and can be found for sale in the majority of orchid nurseries around the world. The dark-leafed calanthe is a bit tricky to grow in colder climates, though it's possible with the right care. This orchid is often grown in pots, but if you live in a warmer climate, you might be able to plant it in the ground. Either way, this flower is well worth the time and effort of growing it.
Man On The Moon Flower
The man on the moonflower (Mimulus brevipes) is a rare flower that grows only in a small area of California. It's a wildflower that gets its name due to its striking resemblance to the face of a smiling astronaut on the moon. This unusual flower is easy to grow, but it's best suited to those in California. The man on the moonflower is a perennial that is often mistaken for a weed. This means that it grows quickly, but it's not difficult to get rid of, either. The man on the moonflower boasts a wide variety of colors, but the most common are blue, pink, and cream. The plant has unique, hairy leaves that are easy to mistake for a weed. It also produces a colorful flower that's easy to identify due to its distinct shape and smiley face.
Flowers are a great way to add a bit of color and a splash of nature to any room. The majority of these flowers can be bought online or at a local florist. What's more, many of these flowers are easy to grow at home. If you have a green thumb and some pots or soil, you can have these flowers growing in your home or office in no time! These rare and unusual flowers are truly a sight to behold. Not only are they great additions to a bouquet, but they also make wonderful additions to any garden. If you love flowers, these are definitely worth checking out.

BREAKING: Jerry Jones Stands Up For America – Makes Shocking Threat To Kneeling NFL Players!
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones cares enough about race relations that he joined his team in kneeling before – not during – the national anthem.
But players disrespecting the Stars & Stripes? That isn't going to fly in Big D.
Jones has now told the Dallas Morning News that if any players on his team continue to disrespect the flag or the national anthem in any way, the Cowboys will forfeit and refuse to play.
The team owner said, "If there's anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play. OK? Understand? If we are disrespecting the flag, then we won't play. Period. Period."
"We're going to respect the flag, and I'm going to create the perception of it. And we have," he continued. We as a team are very much on the page together. We have made our expression that we're together."
That may be mostly true. But 2 Cowboys, Damontre Moore and David Irving, raised their fists near the end of the national anthem on Sunday.

Jones also expressed support for VP Mike Pence's decision to walk out of an NFL game in Indianapolis while players knelt in protest of our flag.
More from Pro Football Talk:
Owner Jerry Jones said the Cowboys will stand for the national anthem or else. His postgame comments were the first time he publicly and definitively has laid down the law, though everyone believed that was the team's stance on the national anthem.
Jones' comments came after Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News asked the owner about two players — David Irving and Damontre Moore — raising their fists at the end of the anthem Sunday. Jones said he did not see the raised fists.
"If there's anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play," Jones said in his postgame interviews. "OK? Understand? If we are disrespecting the flag, then we won't play. Period. Period.
"We're going to respect the flag, and I'm going to create the perception of it. And we have. I'm not aware and wouldn't know what you're talking about. I'm not aware of that. . . . We as a team are very much on the page together. We have made our expression that we're together."
Vice President Mike Pence, who previously served as the governor of Indiana, tweeted he left Sunday's game between San Francisco and Indianapolis after 23 49ers players took a knee.
"I'm saying our vice president of the United States, if in his opinion there's disrespect of the flag, then he should – he basically should — express himself however he wants to," Jones said. "He's got rights, too, so however he wants to do it. He felt that not standing for the flag is disrespectful. I do, too. The league, in my mind, should absolutely take the rules we've got on the books and make sure that we do not give the perception that we're disrespecting the flag."
Jones also referred to the game-day operations manual when asked about his conversation with President Trump after the Cowboys took a knee before the national anthem and then rose for it in Arizona in Week 3. The NFL's game operations manual says: "During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country."
Is Jerry Jones right to take a stand? Will America's Team have to forfeit any games?

Since the breakup is such an emotional turmoil, it is very hard to control your emotions and thoughts after it. There is just one thing in your mind, your ex, and the questions like "is my ex over me", "is my ex thinking about me", "does my ex still loves me" are just too hard to get rid of.
Like I mention in the 2nd step of my 3 Step plan, it is extremely important that you stop panicking. There are a lot of questions on your mind right now and all those are the result of the state of panic you are in.
To pull yourself together, you first need to understand your state of mind. Your mind is panicking right now, which means that it is in "fight or flight" response. In case, you don't know what it is, it is a state of mind which is meant to deal with dangerous situations. There is a small part of brain called the Amygdala which controls your thoughts when you are in "fight or flight" mode. And the main function of Amygdala is to ask questions, "what if" questions to be specific, to determine a feasible plan of action.
What if my ex is over me?
What if they are already with someone else?
What if I never find love again?
What if I can never be happy again?
These questions will sound almost stupid if you are in your senses. But if your mind is in panicking, they might sound frightening and may lead to more panic.
How to get out of panic mode?
Well, the first thing you need to do is realize that you are in panicking and that all those frightening questions are the result of the panic. You also need to realize that all those thoughts, as frightening as they may be, are just thoughts and in reality nothing bad is going to happen.
Your ex is not over you.
Your ex is still thinking about you.
Now, it might be hard for you to believe that you will find happiness again at this time, but you need to realize that it's only because your mind is controlled by Amygdala at the moment. You need to let this state of panic pass, think of it like a cloud passing over your head, and soon you will be thinking straight.
