Strange Flowers
Most flowers have a pleasant
fragrance to attract
pollinators for fertilization.
However, there are flowers
which emit a terrible stench,
able to drive anyone out of
their reach. To know what
you would choose for your
worst enemy, the following
list is enlightening!

Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is located in
Eastern Europe and
borders with Armenia,
Georgia, Russia and Iran.
Its capital is Baku and its
size is 86,600m2.
Azerbaijan also has
9,165,000 residents, who
all speak the language of
Azerbaijani.
This country, as a
currency, uses the manat. It
has the coins 1, 3, 5, 10,
20, 50 qəpik and notes 1,
5, 10, 20, 50, 100 manat.
Their president is
Iham Aliyeu.
He was born on 24
December in 1961 in the
city of Baku. He is married
to Mehriban Pashayeva
and believes in the religion
of Shia Islam
Azerbaijan's
exports are mainly petrol,
but they make wine,
produce green vegetables
and grow cotton. Also a
large part of their economy
is tourism. People from all
over the world come to see
their wonderful sights.
Some of these
spectacular attractions are
the Mausoleum of Nizami
Ganjavi, the palace of
Sheki Khan and the bridge
on Terter River.
So now we see that
Azerbaijan is truly a
wonderful place and we
ought to go there. I think
that the Eurovision song
contest ought to have been
held there the next year as
well.
And now how
about…music?
THERION
Therion are a
swedish band, who play
symphonic metal. They
were founded by christofer
johnsson in 1987 and
continue up to today.
The name
therion is
actually a
greek word
meaning beast,
coming from the book of
revelations.
Therion's lyrics
come from ancient
mythologies, such as the
Norse mythology, having
to do with the nine worlds
and the tree of life. All the
lyrics are written by
Thomas Kalrlsson.
 They have recorded
fourteen albums altogether,
of which some are ''secret
of the runes'', ''lemuria'',
''sirius b'', ''gothic
kabbalah'', ''theli'' and
''sitra ahra''.
Over the years
many therion members
have been added and have
departed. But the main
members of this band are
christofer johnsson, Nalle
Påhlsson, christian vidal,
Johan Koleberg, THOMAS
VIKSTRöM AND LORI
LEWIS.
So therion are a very
interesting band with
interesting music. I think
that every person ought to
have at least one album of
theirs in their home.
