"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the U.S. of America National Anthem. Was written on September 14, 1814, by the lawyer an amateur poet Francis Scott Key. Key described in the song what he witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812.

When he endorses: "hirelings and slaves" Key probably felt that sailors were being mistreated by their captain. Besides many of the British soldiers were forced into war.

What does "The great calm has ceased, The quiet sands have run" mean. This is from poetry.
AleksAgata [21]
It is simply saying that all is now in chaos. I am assuming the part that is confusing is "the quiet sands have run." It could easily be alluding to the way that during a sandstorm, the calm sands of the surface are no longer there as the chaos of the storm casts them about.

Ladybugs are also called lady beetles in Europe they are called ladybird beetles.
Whitepunk [10]
This sentence is incorrect because it is a run-on sentence. This means that it should be broken into two separate sentences:

Ladybugs are also called lady beetles. In Europe, they are called ladybird beetles. 

It's easy to catch this mistake by either reading the sentence out loud and listening for a natural pause, or by looking for one subject and one verb per sentence (Ladybugs are; they are).

After few months, two brothers had beautiful plants in their pots with lovely flowers and green leaves,except the youngest one, his pot was plant less although he cared for his seed and pot very well but no plant grew in his pot.When he saw his brothers' plants he became very sad and worried that what would he show to his father. One day the king called all the brothers to show their plants to him.  "Look father how beautiful our plants are". Said the sons who had plants in their pots.          

King asked the youngest son," Where is your plant?Your pot is empty.", son replied,"My dear father, I am really sorry, I tried my best but no plant grew in my pot".

"No! you should not be sorry" said the king,"because the seeds I gave to you and your brothers were dead and useless, no plant could be grown with the help of those seeds.Your brothers lied to me.When they saw that their plants were not growing, they planted other seeds in their pots.The plants they have are from other seeds. But you were honest and told me the truth, and one of the most important qualities of a king is that he should be honest. So my dear son, you will be the next king".
