Most of us don't have huge blocks of time in our lives for volunteering...but microvolunteering offers an inviting alternative--It shines a light on small, practical actions that still add up to real-world good, even when life is busy and attention spans are short. It can be done online or in person, alone or alongside others, and often without the kind of long onboarding that traditional volunteering requires. The first step is to decide which causes matter to you most: education, public health, animals, the environment, or community support just to name a few.

It's not only used to create pleasant smells on the body but also used to create a distraction from unpleasant smells. The word perfume is derived from the Latin words 'per fumum,' meaning 'through the smoke.' Incense was the first form of perfume and was commonly used for religious rituals by ancient Egyptians....in the middle ages people used perfume to disguise the smell of diseases like the plague...but since the late 1800's perfume saw the rise of luxury perfume houses such as Chanel, Guerlain, and Dior. Make sure to keep your perfume away from sunlight, spray on the pulse points of your skin (but don't rub it in) or spray the air and walk thru it.

British settlers adapt pie-style fruit desserts to frontier conditions, --unable to make traditional suet puddings due to lack of suitable ingredients and cooking equipment, the settlers instead covered a stewed filling with a layer of uncooked plain biscuits or dumplings, fitted together. When the dish is fully cooked, the surface has the appearance of a cobbled street. Today is all about peach! In the 1950s, the Georgia Peach Council began to promote Peach Cobbler Day in April. This was part of an effort to drive canned peaches sales, as April isn't the time of year for fresh peaches...peaches are very nutritious — they are a great source of vitamins A and C.

A possible source of origin of the word golf can be the Dutch word 'kolf,' which is a kind of stick or club, or it can be the Scottish word 'goulf,' which means to strike or cuff. Although some people believe that the word "golf" is derived from the phrase "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden." Nevertheless, golf originated in Scotland from a game played close to the royal capital of Edinburg. The earliest form of golf used to be played by hitting a pebble over dunes around tracks. King James IV of Scotland became the world's first golfing monarch. In 1764, the first-ever 18-hole course was constructed at St Andrews, which established the standard for the game. The United States Golf Association (USGA) was established in 1894, and by 1900 more than 1,000 golf clubs were formed throughout the U.S. and today there are almost 17,000 courses in the U.S. Currently, the most expensive golf course in the United States by green fees is Shadow Creek Golf Course in North Las Vegas, Nevada, which currently charges $1,250 per round during peak season.

As incredible symbols of purity and enchantment, unicorns are loved by both children and adults alike and are integral parts of many fairy tales and legends. They were spotted in early Mesopotamian artwork. In Greek mythology writers strongly believed that unicorns were running wild in a faraway distant realm... Greek physician Ctesias believed he actually saw them, however many of his peers argued that he wasn't seeing a unicorn, but instead was citing the Indian Rhinoceros. The Celts, Romans, and Persians also described a white magical horse with a single horn. The creature was said to represent strength, grace, and freedom.
