As trees grow old they add a new ring for each year, this discovery, it seems, was first made by Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian painter and scientist It took a long time, however, before the serious study of tree rings started; this was done in Arizona by Andrew Ellicott Douglas
Douglas developed a simple technique for dating trees called cross-dating and for a period of over twenty years continued the study of tree rings He spent much of his time in logging camps near Flagstaff
The Douglas method has been used by many scientists Some of them used it to examine logs in Indian pueblo ruins; they were able to date the buildings right back to the tenth century Others used
it to date the world's oldest living trees, the bristlecone pines

Five- colored sticky rice is an important traditional dish of many ethnic minorities in the northern mountainous regions People call the dish five-colored sticky rice because it has five colors: red, yellow, green, purple and white The things that create the colors are not chemicals but natural roots and leaves The five colors of the dish represent five elements of life
according to Vietnamese beliefs: yellow is earth, red is fire, green is plants, white is metal, and purple or black is water People believe that these five elements create harmony between heaven and earth Five-colored sticky rice is usually made and enjoyed at Tet, in festivals and ceremonies, on special occasions, and whenever the family has guests.
