Palm Trees
Palms are a monophyletic group of plants, meaning that the group consists of a common ancestor and all its descendants. Extensive taxonomic research on palms began with botanist H.E. Moore, who organized palms into fifteen major groups based mostly on general morphological characteristics. The following classification, proposed by N.W. Uhl and J. Dransfield in 1987, is a revision of Moore's classification that organizes palms into six subfamilies

Sunset over Brussels airport
22-Jun, 10pm
History of Brussels airport :
On 4 August 1914 the German troops invaded Belgium. Their search for a suitable location to build an airship hangar brought them to a plain on the territory of Haren and Evere. In February 1915 the Berlin-based company Arthur Müller Ballonhallenbau finished the construction of a zeppelin hangar. On 7 June 1915 Flight Sub-Lieutenant J.S. Mills bombed the hangar and destroyed the LZ 38 airship that had been forced to return to the airfield with technical problems. The zeppelin hangar that was partly consumed by fire was repaired within two months, but it would never again be used to shelter the vulnerable airships. After the armistice of 11 November 1918 the Belgian military started to use the airfield and the remaining infrastructure. The zeppelin hangar that was not pulled down until 1923 was used to park the aircraft the Germans had left behind. A few of these aircraft would later be used to take civilians up on their first flight from Haren.
From the earliest days the Belgian royal house took a keen interest in aviation. On 31 March 1919 King Albert I signed the memorandum of association of SNETA (Syndicat National pour l'Etude des Transports Aériens), the predecessor of Sabena (Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne), the Belgian national airline that was created on 23 May 1923. A week after its creation, SNETA set up a test flight that would carry two passengers from Brussels to London, and back to Evere via Paris in a former German bomber. The whole flight took seven and a half hours, the time we need today to fly from Brussels to New York. Little by little scheduled services were organised between Brussels and the British and French capitals. The military tolerated the civil aviation activities on its airfield. The military part of the airfield was referred to as Evere, whereas all civil activities took place on the territory of Haren.

Whole Wheat Ravioli
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup room-temperature water and 1 tsp. salt.
Step 2: Add 1/4 cup water and mix until you have a stiff, kneadable dough. Add more water, in 1 tablespoon increments if needed.
Step 3: Turn onto a Silpat mat or a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. Alternately, you can place the dough ball in the food processor and give it about 10 spins, or use the dough hook on your mixer. Cover with a tea towel. Set aside and let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
Step 4: Take a softball-size piece of dough and roll it out to 1/8 inch or thinner if you can manage. Add the tiniest bit of flour if needed. Cut the dough into desired shapes. Or use a pasta machine to create desired pasta.
