Forty years ago, Charles Breed, a Michigan artist and teacher, began raising dahlias at his home. By 1992 he had over 1,700 tubers and had run out of room to grow them. He asked his next door neighbor for permission to plant dahlias on the property next to his own. The neighbor agreed and the vacant property at the corner of Main Street and Orchard Drive became Dahlia Hill. A non-profit organization was established to raise money to purchase the property. Individuals, private groups and local foundations all contributed funds and the Dahlia Hill Society was founded. Visitors from all over the United States have come to visit Dahlia Hill for its impressive variety of dahlias that are planted annually. At the top of Dahlia Hill is a unique art gallery featuring original designs in cast paper, bronze and other media. The pieces are based on designs by Charles Breed.

Critiquing the WORST MINOR LEAGUE Ballparks in America - More Terribad Stadiums
Thank you to SCENTBIRD for sponsoring this video! Use my code FIVEPOINTS for 30% off your first cologne (just $10!) at Scentbird This month I tried...
Versace Eros -
Minor league baseball has a deep rooted history in American Culture - did you know that in 1949, there were over 59 leagues and 448 ball clubs?
As time wore on and competing inventions to keep us occupied like television and real dolls hit the market, this number gradually dwindled down to the current total of 160 teams today.
People moved on. Teams left town. More focus was put on the big league level so that Mike Trout could make enough money to hire a team of midgets to carry him around on their shoulders.
And some of the minor league teams that are left, play in pretty horrible stadiums. Maybe they are remnants of that era long past.
Maybe they were the result of poor planning, or lack of attention. Either way, today we’re going to look at the worst minor league ballparks in baseball, and that’s coming up, right after this.

SUMMARY
=======
Michigan ( (listen)) is a state in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States. The state's name, Michigan, originates from the Ojibwe word mishigamaa, meaning large water or large lake. Michigan is the tenth most populous of the 50 United States, with the 11th most extensive total area, and is the largest state by total area east of the Mississippi River. Michigan has a population of about 10 million. Its capital is Lansing and its largest city is Detroit. Metro Detroit is among the nation's most populous and largest metropolitan economies.
Michigan is the only state to consist of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often noted as shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula (often called the U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8 km) channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Mackinac Bridge connects the peninsulas. The state has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair. As a result, it is one of the leading U.S. states for recreational boating. Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. A person in the state is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from a natural water source or more than 85 miles (137 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.The area was first settled by Native American tribes, whose successive cultures occupied the territory for thousands of years. Colonized by French explorers in the 17th century, it was claimed as part of New France. After France's defeat in the French and Indian War in 1762, the region came under British rule. Britain ceded this territory to the newly independent United States after Britain's defeat in the American Revolutionary War. The area was part of the larger Northwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Indiana Territory. Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, but some of the northern border with Canada was not agreed upon until after the War of 1812. Michigan was admitted into the Union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one. It soon became an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region and a popular immigrant destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Although Michigan developed a diverse economy, it is widely known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, which developed as a major economic force in the early 20th century. It is home to the country's three major automobile companies (whose headquarters are all within the Detroit metropolitan area). While sparsely populated, the Upper Peninsula is important for tourism thanks to its abundance of natural resources, while the Lower Peninsula is a center of manufa ...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
