In Uganda, the title "Omukama" translates to "superior milkman." The Bantu title alludes to the king's role as a provider for his people. Furthermore, rulers in ancient Ugandan kingdoms were of Hema descent—a cattle-owning minority group.

A cow produces 6.3 gallons of milk per day on average. That equates to nearly 2,300 gallons per year. In one year, a single cow produced 59,298 pounds of milk. The record is held by Robtham Suzette Paddy, a Holstein cow from the family-run Robthom Farm near Springfield, Missouri. Sue could produce more than 200 pounds per day at her peak.

Milk is white due to its fat content. Although milk is mostly water, which is colorless, the fat and protein molecules floating inside it reflect all light wavelengths, giving it a white appearance.

Diamonds are thought to be one of the hardest natural materials known to man; according to researchers, a diamond is up to 58 times harder than anything found in nature. As a result, the only object or piece of equipment capable of cutting through a diamond would be another diamond.

In 1867, a 15-year-old boy named Erasmus Stephanus discovered the stunning Eureka diamond in South Africa. The rough diamond weighing 21.25 carats was discovered on the Orange River near Hopetown. The polished diamond now weighs 10.73 carats.

Today, the vast majority of diamonds on the market are mined underground or beneath the sea using heavy machinery and cutting-edge technology. However, before diamonds were mined beneath the earth's surface, miners discovered them alongside or at the bottom of rivers. Alluvial mining is the name given to this type of mining activity.

If you want to have an everlasting connection with a loved one who has passed away, you can compress their ashes and turn them into a man-made diamond. You will be able to cherish them in this manner for the rest of your life.

Many poets have compared the flickering flame of a candle to the stunning effect of a diamond throughout history. Of course, creative writers weren't far off the mark. According to Wuzong Zhou, a chemistry professor at the University of St Andrews, a candle's flame contains approximately 1.5 million diamond nanoparticles. As a result, proposing during a candlelight dinner has even more significance.

President Ronald Reagan designated the rose as the national flower of the United States on November 20, 1986. He did this while standing in the White House's famous Rose Garden. Roses are also the official flower of Georgia, Iowa, New York, North Dakota, and Washington, D.C.

Sorry to disappoint, but 'black' roses do not exist. What is sometimes called a black rose is actually a dark red rose. A good example is "The Black Rose of Turkey," which appears pitch-black to the naked eye but is actually a dark reddish-crimson color. Roses do not naturally contain true-blue pigments. There are many good purples among the old roses, and hundreds of excellent mauves and lilacs were introduced in the 1950s and 1960s as an unanticipated result of vigour breeding (think Sterling Silver, Lavender Dream, and Lilac Charm). Rhapsody in Blue, a vigorous shrub with smoky-purple flowers, is one of today's most popular roses, but it's not the only one.

Roses also produce a berry-shaped fruit known as 'rose hips.' The fruit may be orange, red, dark purple, or even black in color. Rose hips are high in vitamin C and can be dried to make a tasty tea. This is why rosehips are occasionally used to make jam, jelly, and marmalade. The hip is also used in food supplements and can be pressed or filtered to make rose hip syrup.

While most people add roses to their gardens for their beauty, roses have a long history of being used as food and medicine. Roses are classified as "herbs," and as such, they are considered useful plants. Their petals are edible, and rose water (made by soaking the petals in water) is frequently used to flavor jellies and jams, as well as in Indian and Chinese dishes. Keep in mind that if you're going to eat roses, they should be chemical-free. Use roses that have not been sprayed with pesticides or other chemicals, and avoid using cut roses from a flower shop or supermarket because they have been grown with a variety of chemicals. It is possible to grow your own roses.

Rose fossils dating back 35 million years have been discovered by archaeologists. Roses are the oldest plant species to be grown for decoration, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The rose (genus Rosa, family Rosaceae) is the oldest plant species cultivated and used for decoration. According to documents dating back to AD 50, the flowers were grown in vast plantations and local hothouses to ensure a year-round supply of medicinal extracts, cooking ingredients, and ornamentation. Roses were used to decorating buildings, furniture, and people in ancient Rome, and petals were laid to create rose carpets and walkways.

Barbie's ridiculously svelte-yet-busty figure has been at the center of many-body image controversies over the years. Barbie is made by Mattel on a 1/6 scale, which is the standard scale for action figures. Barbie's measurements would then be 38-18-28. (reports vary based on versions of dolls). Various outlets and organizations have pointed out that her proportions are more than just an unrealistic standard; they would render a human woman physically incapable of walking, holding her head up, or having fully functioning internal organs. Mattel responded to calls for change by releasing a variety of dolls with different body types, skin tones, and hairstyles.

Barbie is named after the Handlers' daughter, Barbara. Ken is named after their son, Kenneth. In Barbie's world, her parents are George and Margaret Roberts from Willows, Wisconsin. Other family members include her siblings: Skipper, Tutti, Todd, Stacie, Kelly, Chelsea, and Krissy. Tutti and Todd are twins … but so are Todd and Stacie, apparently (at least according to Todd's box). She also has cousins named Francie and Jazzie.

Jack Ryan started his career as an engineer, building missiles for the Pentagon, but was eventually hired away by Mattel for his "space-age savvy" and material knowledge (meaning he'd be able to make high-quality, well-functioning toys). His designs contributed to Barbie's twistable waist and "click-click" knee joints.

Barbie's official birthday commemorates her first public appearance at the American International Toy Fair in New York in 1959. In her black and white striped one-piece, she stood 11 inches tall and was dressed for a pool party. Barbie was instantly recognizable as the only toy in the doll aisle that wasn't modelled after a baby or a small child—having an adult woman as a plaything for children was a novel concept. One thing she lacked at first? A navel button. That was added to her design in 2000, more than 40 years later.

The first film adaptation of Austen's work was MGM's 1940 Pride and Prejudice, starring Lawrence Olivier and Greer Garson. Emma Thomspon was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for her work on director Ang Lee's 1995 film Sense and Sensibility, in which she also starred.

The first Jane Austen fan fiction was written in an 1823 letter to the editor of The Lady's Magazine, in which Austen appeared as a character. The letter writer claims to want to know more about being a successful writer and consults Jane Austen's ghost for advice. Harvard University owns the first Austen dissertation, "Jane Austen's Novels," which was published in 1883 by George Pellew.

Austen's family worked hard in 1817 to get Northanger Abbey and Persuasion sold as a set. Henry Austen, Austen's brother, wrote a "biographical note" identifying Austen as the author. The books were well received. Richard Bentley, a publisher, purchased the copyrights to Austen's novels in 1832 and published an omnibus edition of her work in October 1833. Since Bentley's publication, Austen's books have remained in print indefinitely.

Austen had an affair with her neighbor Tom Lefroy when she was 20 years old, beginning in December 1895. Lefroy was a recent college graduate on his way to London to study law. Due to a lack of funds, Lefroy and Austen did not pursue their mutual attraction. In January 1896, Lefroy was sent away by family members who were unhappy with the match, and Austen never saw him again. Austen received her only known marriage proposal in December 1802 from Harris Bigg-Wither, the son of long-time family friends. Austen initially accepted, but the next morning she rescinded her acceptance. It's unclear why she changed her mind.

Her early draughts of writing are housed in three notebooks and 90,000 words. Austen wrote an epistolary novel called Love and Friendship (sic), a satire of the trend of sensibility in fiction, when she was 14 years old, in 1790. By the age of 18, Austen had made a career out of writing and had experimented with writing drama and longer works.

Zeus was terrified that his kid would be his undoing owing to a prophecy, so he ate his lover when he discovered she was pregnant. The fetus became a part of him, and one day she sprang out of his forehead, fully developed and ready to fight.

 Cronus castrated Uranus, and she was the consequence. His cut genitals dropped in Pontus (the sea), and the goddess of love sprang from the froth. She is credited as Zeus' daughter, although according to the original narrative, she is considerably older than him, actually his great-aunt. This lends credence to the notion that the Greeks were unconcerned with their timeframes.

Hades, the god of death and the underworld, is associated with darkness and evil since he is frequently seen as the ancient Greek equivalent of the Christian devil. However, it was not Hades who elected to rule over the underworld. To choose who would rule which kingdom, he and his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, pulled straws. So, let's just say Hades was unlucky and was sent to the underworld, whilst his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, were given dominion over the Gods and the sea, respectively. We must remember that, contrary to popular belief, Hades was not the one accountable for either the condemnation or the salvation.
