Workers are shown shearing the sheep, treating the wool with natural dyes, preparing the fibres, and weaving and decorating the carpets.
"Sheep wool is good for human health, which is why our grandmothers wove the national felt carpet from it," said Meilismurat Muradov, another resident of Kaka district. The koshma - and the work of the craftspeople - remains a source of national pride across Turkmenistan.
Floating car causes a scene in Queenstown. "I have complete faith in it - it has the best technology," he says.

"There's about $200 worth of expandable foam in the doors," says Mr Carppe, who welded up the holes in the floor of the car, built a bow on the front and filled the vehicle with safety equipment.
"It even comes with a motorhome and camping guide in case we decide to camp anywhere."
DB brews biofuel from beer by-product. c-Fairfax-NZ-News
BREWING BOFFINS at DB Export are backing a brainwave to turn beer by-products into biofuel. The company hopes to produce an initial batch of 30,000 litres of ethanol, which will be mixed with regular petrol to create "DB Export Brewtroleum". It has been testing and refining its processes since February, and eventually wants to make the fuel commercially viable.

If the initial pilot is successful, the biofuel will be made available to the public through a major fuel retailer. DB's research and testing found ethanol could be stripped from the yeast slurry of the brewing process and distilled to produce high-grade bioethanol.
All forms of medical marijuana are legal, Canadian court rules. Getty Images
Medical marijuana patients in Canada can legally use all forms of the drug, the Canadian Supreme Court has ruled. Medical marijuana patients will now be able to consume marijuana, not only smoke it. Cannabis oil is now permitted instead of only "dried" marijuana, meaning people can bake it into food products.

The case began in 2009 when a baker from the Cannabis Buyers Club of Canada was charged with trafficking and unlawful possession of marijuana. Former head baker of the club Owen Smith was caught baking 200 pot cookies, CBC reports.
A British Columbia judge acquitted Mr Smith and gave Canada's government a year to change laws around extracting marijuana. The case then wound up in the Supreme Court.
Discovery
2009 HW77/330836 Orius is a centaur discovered on the 25th of April, 2009. It was named after the centaur Orius, who was killed by Heracles for stealing wine of Pholos.
His orbit is around 100.4591 years, with an eccentricity of 0.42218501, and an inclination to the ecliptic 17.86873. It's perihelion is between Saturn and Uranus, it's aphelion out past Neptune, so it crosses both Uranus' and Neptune's orbits.
Pholus was given a vessel of wine to take care of by Dionysus. Now when the jar had been opened and the sweet odour of the wine, because of its great age and strength, came to the Centaurs dwelling near there, it came to pass that they were driven mad; consequently they rushed in a body to the dwelling of Pholus and set about plundering him of the wine in a terrifying manner.
At this Pholus hid himself in fear, but Heracles, to their surprise, grappled with those who were employing such violence. He had indeed to struggle with beings who were gods on their mother's side, who possessed the swiftness of horses, who had the strength of two bodies, and enjoyed in addition the experience and wisdom of men.
The Centaurs advanced upon him, some with pine trees which they had plucked up together with the roots, others with great rocks, some with burning firebrands, and still others with axes such as are used to slaughter oxen. But he withstood them without sign of fear and maintained a battle which was worthy of his former exploits.
The Centaurs were aided in their struggle by their mother Nephele,who sent down a heavy rain, by which she gave no trouble to those who had four legs, but for him who was supported upon two made the footing slippery. Despite all this Heracles maintained an astonishing struggle with those who enjoyed such advantages as these, slew the larger part of them, and forced the survivors to flee.
Of the Centaurs which were killed the most renowned were Daphnis, Argeius, Amphion, also Hippotion, Orius, Isoples, Melanchaetes, and Thereus, Doupon, and Phrixus.
There are at least two other individuals mentioned in mythology with the same name. One was a mountain god of Mount Othrys in Malis. The other was a man-eating, half-bear Thracian giant. He and his twin brother were transformed into birds by Hermes as punishment for their cruel barbarity.
