We think of security as something reserved for the wealthy or famous. But it’s everyday women who are being killed by men at the rate of one every week who need it the most.

This iconic photograph is still considered one of the most-terrifying space photographs to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first human being to do a spacewalk without a safety tether linked to a spacecraft. In 1984, he floated completely untethered in space with nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive.

Akhal-Teke; a Turkmen horse breed, from Turkmenistan Teke tribe, also known as Desert Horse is one of oldest and most beautiful breeds. Since ancient times, they have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen. The shiny coat of the breed led to their nickname, "Golden Horses". Akhal Teke looks like glass, pearl, silk, coming from a fairytale. History of Akhal Teke horses, dates back to 5000 BC. Due to its elegance and beauty, it is referred to as "Horses of Paradise" or "Golden Horses of Persia", and "Flying Wings of Nusay". These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of oldest existing horse breeds. There are currently about 6600 Akhal-Tekes in the world, mostly in Turkmenistan, although they are also found throughout Europe and North America. (Akhal is the name of the line of oases along the north slope of the Kopet Dag mountains in Turkmenistan. It has been inhabited by the Tekke tribe of Turkmens) #archaeohistories
