Abraham Lincoln became the United States' 16th President in 1861, issuing the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever free those slaves within the Confederacy in 1863.

Carl Sandburg has written the great biography of Abraham Lincoln; that is, the son of the prairie and the Midwest who became US president. A son of the prairie has written about another; but Sandburg's parents were not in the country when Lincoln appeared there, lived and died. Nevertheless, and rightly, portrays Sandburg him as an affiliation, as if he was there when Lincoln went ride through the countryside between the various councils to sue as a lawyer in court, as if he had been present when Lincoln got up on a oxcart in the square to hold election speech in the small towns - one of the most famous speeches he delivered just in Galesburg, where the couple Sandburg finally came after to have emigrated from northern Sweden and then to Illinois, United States.

Ashraf Ghani nominates 25 ministers after three months of attempting to establish a working government.

  Afghan president and his rival-turned partner spent months of dispute over new cabinet formation

Afghanistan’s new Cabinet was unveiled on Monday after three months of wrangling following the election of President Ashraf Ghani and the formation of a “national unity government” in the wake of last year’s fraud-mired election.

Mr Ghani was inaugurated in late September after signing a power-sharing deal with his poll rival Abdullah Abdullah.

The “unity government” deal was seen as saving Afghanistan from the risk of imminent civil war when both candidates claimed to have won the election in a stand-off that fanned long-standing ethnic tensions.

But negotiations over ministerial posts brought politics to a stalemate and threatened to fuel the Taliban insurgency.

Abdul Salam Rahimi, Ghani’s chief of staff, read out the names of the 25 new ministers at the presidential palace in Kabul. The list will now go before Parliament for approval.

Three women were named in the Cabinet, as ministers for higher education, information and culture, and women’s affairs.

Allocating the ministries was fraught with difficulty due to Afghanistan’s complex ethnic divisions and rivalries.

Mr Ghani, a former World Bank economist, is largely backed by Pashtun tribes of the south and east, while Abdullah, a former anti-Taliban resistance fighter, draws his support from Tajiks and other northern groups.

Monday’s breakthrough comes at a sensitive time as Taliban insurgents push to exploit the end of Nato’s combat mission on December 31 after 13 years of fighting.

Conflict still rages across Afghanistan, with a record number of civilian and Afghan security force casualties in 2014.

The quality of a man and woman is how well they take care of each other and inspire one another to be great and loving.

I Love You More my War Queen

and beside..you are the only woman my heart choosed

Love is like sunshine. It brings a golden glow to its beholder's face. And a warm feeling all over their body. It awakens souls and opens eyes. And when its over, it leaves billions of small memories called stars. To remind the world, that it still exists. 
When you love someone, it's something. When someone loves you, it's another thing. When you love the person who loves you back, it's everything.
Love is like the wind you can see it but you can't feel it. 
Love people, use things. Don't use people, don't love things. 
Don't fall in love with someone you can live with, fall in love with someone you can't live without. 
If you love someone put her name in a circle not a heart because hearts can break but circles go on forever.

This a runner on top of the Khoja Roshnai carpet. The runner is a Bokhara style carpet and is extremely soft. It’s made from the regular wool, but is very close to the texture of the other Khoja Roshnai. The price might start at $1,200, so guessing he sell it for $700-800.

The above picture is what traffic looks like on the streets.  It gets very congested in Kabul and the drivers don't exactly signal when changing lanes.

Afghan efficiency.. regardless of safety and loss, they will move as much as possible as quick as possible.
