The fez (Turkish: fes, plural fezzes or fezes^[1]), or tarboosh (Arabic: طربوش‎, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [tˤɑɾˤˈbuːʃ]), is a felt hat either in the shape of a red truncated cone or in the shape of a short cylinder made of kilim fabric. Both usually have tassels. Originally a Greek headgear fashionable among the inhabitants of the Aegean Islands, it was widely adopted in the Ottoman Empire in the early 19th century as a symbol of religion, progress and modernity.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York in this day in 1882.

"Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough."
-- Franklin D. Roosevelt in a speech (1935)

The stamen (plural stamina or stamens, from Latin stamen meaning "thread of the warp") is the pollen producing reproductive organ of a flower. Stamens typically consist of a stalk called the filament (from Latin filum, meaning "thread"), and an anther (from Ancient Greek anthera, feminine of antheros "flowery," from anthos "flower"), which contains microsporangia. Anthers are most commonly two-lobed and are attached to the filament either at the base or in the middle portion. The sterile tissue between the lobes is called the connective.
