HACU statement on President-elect Biden's nomination of Miguel Cardona for Education Secretary
San Antonio, Texas – The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) has released the following statement on the nomination by President-elect Joe Biden of Miguel Cardona, Ed.D., for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education (ED).
As Connecticut's first Latino commissioner of education, Miguel Cardona brings substantial knowledge of minority communities to this national leadership position. He has personally experienced poverty and was an English-language learner, adding to his understanding of the struggles of first-generation ELL students. He has spent two decades as a public-school educator and has extensive experience in the public education system as a classroom teacher, school principal, and senior school district administrator; in 2012, he was recognized Connecticut's National Distinguished Principal. Under his leadership, Connecticut became the first state to require high schools to offer courses on Latino and Black studies.
"The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities commends President-elect Biden in his selection of Miguel Cardona as his nominee for U.S. Secretary of Education," said HACU President and CEO Antonio R. Flores. "Dr. Cardona is a strong advocate of underrepresented students and from a state with six Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), we are confident he will be a champion for HSIs and the students and communities they serve."
"HACU pledges its support to ensure his confirmation by the U.S. Senate when he is formally nominated," added Flores.


The technology for controllers has made significant advances in the past several years. Newer controllers offer a variety of features nonexistent in older models. Here is a sample of money and time saving options that these controllers provide.
Precise Watering Times – The ESP controller allows you precise watering times. If you set a zone to run 13 minutes, it will run for 13 minutes. With the electromechanical controllers you can't even choose 13 minutes, it's your best guess. If you set the electromechanical timer for 10 minutes it might run 7 minutes, it might run 12 minutes. It's hard to put down just the right amount of water like that.
Rain and Moisture Sensor Compatible – With the ESP controller, you can have a rain sensor or a moisture sensor to help manage your water usage. You can not have either on the electromechanical.
Multiple Programs Allowed – If you want to water your lawn every other day and water the planting beds on Monday and Thursday, you can with an ESP controller. With the electromechanical you can't even come close. What the lawn does, the planting beds do.
Seasonal Adjust – As the weather changes with the season, you can simply change what your system is doing on a % basis. The seasonal adjust feature allows you to increase or decrease the watering times of every zone on the controller simultaneously. One simple change allows you to water longer in the summer heat and less as fall brings our cooler temperatures. These controllers are completely flexible that way. Good luck trying to accomplish the same thing with your electromechanical controller.
Backup Battery – If there is a three hour power outage, your ESP controller will retain the program, current date and time information. The next scheduled run will be on time. Your old electromechanical controller will still remember the run times for each zone but it will be running three hours later than it was supposed to, maybe watering the kids headed to the bus stop.
Electrical Fault Indicator – If there is an electrical short in the wiring to one of your zones, the ESP will tell you so allowing you to address the problem before there's any damage to the yard. With an electromechanical controller, you'll find out about the problem when you notice the dead plants or brown lawn.
I could go on. If you'd like to know more give us a call.

Like global temperatures, WA temperatures have also increased since 1910. The strongest trend has been observed since the 1950s (Figure 2), though in the far north of WA there has been a slight cooling in average temperatures. Across the state as a whole, mean annual temperatures have increased since 1910 by approximately 0.8ºC.
Figure 2 Trend in annual mean temperature 1950-2008 (BoM (b), 2009)
In southwest WA, a drying trend has been observed (Figure 3). The rainfall decline has been most apparent in late autumn and early winter, with a major drop in rainfall totals occurring in the 1970s, and possibly another more recently in the 1990s. Averaged across southwest WA, a step decrease in total annual rainfall of almost 10% was seen in the mid-1970s, though individual locations would have experienced a greater decrease.

New Resolution Urges NYC to Divest From Companies Fuelling Amazon Deforestation
Introduced by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and other city council members, the resolution calls on New York City to stop supporting animal agriculture corporations that are responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
Today, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, along with New York City Council members and environmental advocates, is announcing a resolution calling on NYC to divest from agricultural industries that benefit from the destruction of the Amazon rainforest—pointing specifically to the damaging effects of animal agriculture in the region. This summer, the record-breaking fires set by farmers—an increase of 85 percent from 2018—to clear land for cattle ranching in the Brazillian rainforest resulted in worldwide outrage. The resolution urges government agencies, private businesses, and corporations to refrain from purchasing agricultural products that fail to meet the sustainability standards set under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Passed by the New York State legislature in June, the act requires statewide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and aims to achieve net-zero emissions in the state by 2050. Since going vegan in 2016, Adams has learned about the damaging effects of animal agriculture on the environment and human health, and believes this resolution is just one step towards addressing the crisis.
In an accompanying video—created by Asher Brown and Pollution.tv—introducing the resolution, Adams explains that in order for NYC to meet its commitment, it must stop supporting businesses that are responsible for the Amazon's destruction. "Animal agriculture is responsible for 91 percent of Amazon deforestation," Adams said. "Major agricultural corporations like Cargill, JBS, and Marfrig drive the destruction. Every hamburger or piece of chicken we buy from the companies that purchase their products supports a cycle of deforestation. We must take action."
In a bicoastal initiative, Los Angeles City Council members are also urging LA to halt business with companies that are destroying the Amazon. Both LA and NYC are calling on the other 35,000 cities nationwide to join the boycott.

Prof. Mohd. Ashraf, Dean and Chairman of Dept. of Law, AMU, felicitated the program by enlightening that as per the 22nd Law Commission report says that despite Art. 39A guarantees of getting Justice. But still access to justice for poor masses has been hampered due to poverty, social and political backwardness. He told that a poor mass who can't afford the court fees as well as don't have time for court proceedings believe the court system is ineffective. Therefore, there arises a need for ADR to help poor masses. Later, he told the pros and cons of ADR.
Hon'bleJustice Mary Joseph, Hon'ble Judge of the Kerala High Court, presentedinaugural address about ADR and the essentials of ADR, she was impressed with our program and encouraged students to organize more of such programs in the future.

Resource person Adv. Bhuvanendran Nair V, Mediator Trainer, Thiruvananthapuram presented his views on ADR.
He started by asking, "How to make welfare state?", he answered that it is by giving people settlement to their prolonged pending disputes in various courts in a speedy manner we would be able to achieve a welfare state. So there is a need for ADR today. "Ubi Jus Ibi Remidium", i.e., where there is a right there is a remedy, he invoked this legal maxim and told that it is very important to make people aware of their legal rights today, and this adds to the whole meaning of awareness program on ADR. He also stated some the reasons for long pendency of cases in India. In India we have 17 thousands judges in various courts. On an average there 18-19 judge for every 10 lakh cases.Whereas in China, on an average there are 142 judges for every 10 lakh cases.
He stated the relevance of Article 21, i.e., Right to Life and Personal Liberty, to ADR as under article 21 Right to Speedy Justice is also interpreted by The Supreme Court of India in various cases. And today ADR is proving to be a mechanism for speedy justice to people.

How to play Indian T20 Cricket Fantasy league 2021?
The second leg of the Indian T20 cricket league is about to start in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 19 after the tournament was postponed earlier this year at midway stage owing to the coronavirus pandemic second wave in India.
Needless to say, the Indian T20 cricket league was certainly helping the Indian population to some extent in getting through the torrid days of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, but it was also unfortunate to have a postcode after several breaches in the biosecure bubbles of various teams.
The Indian T20 cricket league is the biggest such tournament which started in 2008 and since then has established itself as the pinnacle of franchisee-based cricket events all over the world. The tournament features some of the best and biggest names from world of cricket and also from India, which also features some of the most exciting up-and-coming players from the domestic circuits.
With online fantasy games and sports making rapid progress over the last few years, there are hardly a few people left who do not indulge in this latest vogue which has certainly become the talk of the town. In India, where cricket mad people are day in and day out watching and talking about the sport, it becomes very difficult to stay away from playing the fantasy league of the Indian T20 cricket tournament, which certainly becomes a must do activity around the time of the world's biggest event in the shortest format.
The magical world of fantasy sports and games
Playing fantasy sports and games not only requires a user to have complete knowledge about the sport that he is competing in, but also be completely aware of all that is happening with the teams, players, and tournament while also keeping an eye on the pitch and weather reports. Apart from having a good smartphone with a fast internet connection, a user is also required to be completely aware of the rules and regulations which are the basic requirements of playing the online fantasy Indian T20 cricket tournament.
But it is also not wrong to have a revision of some basic requirements every now and then. A fantasy player in the Indian T20 cricket league is someone who is a keen follower of all that is happening in the big umbrella called cricket, where in he is keeping an eye on not just international player and matches, but also on the young and exciting domestic players from important countries such as India, Australia, South Africa and in England and West Indies.
What are the important points to remember for fantasy cricket?
It must be remembered that a fantasy playing XI should consist of a maximum limit of six players from one team and remaining from the other. While it should have a proper balance of batsmen and bowlers, it is also imperative to select all-rounders who can leave a big impact on the game with both the bat and the ball.
One of the trickiest and the most important aspects of playing fantasy cricket is to have a sound judgement and expectation from a player who has been in form and is likely to continue with it, as this player is usually the captain of a fantasy playing XI and the second best in the same category is named his deputy.
The Indian T20 cricket league is a huge extravaganza for about two months every year but it takes months and months of preparation and planning for those who want to succeed. The same rule applies to the users in fantasy world as well, they are the team's big boss, its manager, captain, back-room planner, its coach as well as its biggest critic.

About a half-hour after the final out of Greenville's 8-3 championship-clinching win Friday night, the Drive players moved excitedly about the Fluor Field sideline, soaking up the glory of the victory and celebrating with a large contingent of fans who were doing the same.
The players took turns having their picture made with the John H. Moss Trophy, the physical representation of what the Drive had just accomplished – capturing the 2017 South Atlantic League championship.
Winning the first SAL title for the franchise that brought professional baseball back to downtown Greenville 12 years ago required the contribution of almost 50 players who donned a Drive uniform in 2017.
"I've never had as many guys come through here over the course of the season as we've had here," said Fenster, who completed his fourth season at the helm of the Drive. "Credit to the core group that we had here at the beginning of April, who set a foundation of living up to a standard of how we're going to go about it every day.
The early season players staked the Drive to a winning course that led to the team to the SAL first-half Southern Division title. Roster turnover continued through the summer until a new mix of players came together in the final five weeks, eventually taking the title.
One of the late-season arrivals was Brett Netzer, a 2017 draftee brought up from Lowell in early August. He described the atmosphere as "awesome."
This year marked Greenville's third foray into the SAL postseason. The Drive reached the championship round in 2009 and 2010 but lost both times to Lakewood.
"It's an amazing way to end the season after starting it by unveiling all these great new enhancements at the ballpark," said general manager Eric Jarinko. "We've won a lot of accolades as an organization over the years, and the one thing that we were really missing was a championship on the field.
After missing opportunities to win the title in Game 3 Thursday night, the Drive made the most of their chances Friday night. They jumped on former Greenville High School and University of South Carolina pitcher John Parke for three runs in the first. Parke, however, settled down in his SAL debut and shut down the Drive for the next four innings. That enabled the Intimidators to rally and tie the score 3-3.
Kannapolis had momentum and runners on the corners in the fifth when Smith came in to get a big strikeout to end the threat. He then retired the next six batters he faced.
In the sixth, Bobby Dalbec beat a throw home to score the go-ahead run. After another run, Netzer drove a three-run double to center field to cap the five-run outburst that sealed the title for Greenville.

Song Review: Chen (EXO) – Shall We?
Posted on September 30, 2019 by Nick	6 Comments
Despite being a big fan of the group, no EXO solo or sub-unit has connected with me this year. The guys are now elder statesman in the K-pop industry, and with that comes guaranteed success for any new material they release. But rather than branch out and push K-pop forward, the guys have channeled their talents into the exact kind of musical styles the Korean digital charts seem to love — subdued r&b for Baekhyun, trap-infused hip-hop for EXO-SC, and ballads for Chen.
This approach has proven particularly lucrative for Chen. Though I found his springtime ballad Beautiful Goodbye to be a sentimental snooze, it enjoyed lasting success on the charts. Korea has been even more obsessed with ballads than usual this year, which means follow-up Shall We (우리 어떻게 할까요) is destined to lodge itself in the top ten as well. The song ups the tempo just a bit, coming across as more of a hazy, synth-pop mid-tempo than a typical OST-ready heart-wrencher. That this slight uptick in energy feels notable is a testament to just how dull Chen's solo work has been.
Shall We is about as dreary as its predecessor, but it scores extra points for incorporating retro elements to create a more idiosyncratic musical touch. The entire track wafts by like a cool autumn breeze — unsubstantial and forgettable, but not unwelcome in the moment. Unfortunately, Shall We lacks the starkness of Beautiful Goodbye, and this makes Chen's vocals less of a focal point. He doesn't have as much presence here, though his warm tone compliments the nostalgic instrumental. Worse yet, Shall We never builds to the kind of climax that a song like this needs. Instead, it's the aural equivalent of a warm blanket on a chilly night. And like a warm blanket, its comfortable, calming energy might just lull you to sleep.

6 thoughts on "Song Review: Chen (EXO) – Shall We?"
Actually I loved (and still love) Paper Cuts by EXO-CBS for the japanese market. But I will never understand why good vocalists might prove their talent only by singing this kind of stuff.
The verses actually remind me of this Korean song from the 80's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92nsZ2TDwIk
I knew you'd never give it more than a seven lol. The song, both melodically and arrangement-wise, feel like really old-school kpop. I love this song to bits and pieces; maybe its the nostalgia.
It definitely plays to nostalgia. The problem is, it's not my nostalgia, so I find little to take from it.
Mm, that's totally understandable.
On a another note, and I'm just asking this out of curiosity, do you find more merit in having a catchy but generic hook versus a more complex but less instant melody? With the melody of this song, I feel like the use of chromaticism and accidentals makes it really special. I also think melodic complexity gives a song more longevity, since the melody is less straightforward and more unexpected.
This will probably be a frustrating answer, but I think the best songs find a sense of balance between the two. On one hand, I don't think a good pop song should make you work too hard to enjoy it. But on the other hand, an overly catchy, vacuous hook tends to lose its appeal pretty quickly. My favorite songs have interesting choruses, but also use their production and arrangement to help those choruses stand out in an instantly appealing way.
mymagoogle says:
I am trying to think of which R&B balladeer this sounds most like for a short quip, but the closest I come is that this sounds like a cover of a Carpenters song. Of course Chen and Karen Carpenter sound nothing alike in timbre, but the song sounds like Richard Carpenter could have written it.
There, that is my quip. Not short or pithy, but then again, neither is this song.


In a positive development for the students in Malta who are willing to pursue their studies in the blockchain, the University of Malta in partnership with Malta Information Technology Agency has launched a Blockchain Scholarship Fund of €300,000. According to reports, the money from this fund will be made available to the students who specialize in Finance, Engineering, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and Law.
The decision to set up a scholarship fund was taken after an agreement was signed between the University of Malta and Malta Informational Technology Agency. This is being seen as a major step which will help the blockchain and education sector in Malta. The students who will be starting their higher studies in these areas from the next academic year can avail the benefit of Blockchain Scholarship Fund.
The Maltese government has taken significant steps to create a suitable environment within the country for blockchain industry to prosper. As a result of these policies, world's leading blockchain and cryptocurrency companies are now moving base to the small island country. Malta will also be introducing cryptocurrency ATMs as a part of its policy to strengthen the blockchain infrastructure.
This new step has been taken to escalate the process of companies investing in Malta and also attracting more firms. "These companies need technical resources both to build and to operate by use of this technology, as well as experts in financial services, law and managerial roles. We look forward to see the first Maltese occupying these important and well-paid roles whilst also hoping that these will expand considerably in the future as the industry continues to grow here in Malta," Junior Minister for digital economy, Silvio Schembri was quoted as saying by CCN.
Apart from this, the University of Malta will also take the initiative to review the existing degree and Master's programmes in Finance, ICT and Law to make them suitable to the new environment by adding units related to blockchain, cryptocurrency, distributed ledger technology, etc. On the other hand, Malta Information Technology Agency is reportedly working with other universities, colleges and public sector agencies to familiarize the students and professionals with the latest technology.

2018 GBB NBA Draft Prospect Profiles
Memphis Grizzlies 2018 NBA Draft Prospect Profiles: Kevin Knox
The Curious Case of Kevin Knox
By GregRatliff Jun 1, 2018, 7:17am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Memphis Grizzlies 2018 NBA Draft Prospect Profiles: Kevin Knox
Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
Kevin Knox was ranked a 5-star prospect by Scout, Rivals, ESPN, and 247 Sports, landing no lower than 9th and no higher than 7th in his class on those same sites. In high school, Knox was named the 2017 Florida Mr. Basketball and was named to the 2017 McDonald's All American Team and the 2017 Jordan Brand Classic. Highly touted coming out of school, Knox picked Kentucky over Duke, Florida State, Missouri, and North Carolina.
Knox had a pretty successful freshman season personally, even if his team, the Kentucky Wildcats, did not. Knox started all 37 games for the Wildcats in 2017-2018 and was probably their second best player behind their other potential lottery pick Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Leading the Wildcats with 15.6 points a game, Knox shot 45% from the floor, including 34% from behind the arc. Knox was named First Team All-SEC along with All-Freshman Team and Co-Freshman of the Year honors, sharing the latter award with Alabama's Collin Sexton.
Even with Knox's success, the Wildcats were in a bit of a down season, only going 10-8 in the SEC, until they won the SEC Conference Tournament. Kentucky rode that victory to a 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament and an eventual defeat at the hand of Kansas State in the Sweet 16.
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports
Knox is 6'9" with a 7'1/4" wingspan, which could create match-up issues for the opposing team. Kevin has the NBA shot mechanics down, and displays that with how easily he drives to the basket and uses the floater in traffic.
You can also see in the short video above how well Knox moves off the ball and creates on offense.
Like several other top 10 prospects, there's questions about Knox's motor. There were 7 games throughout the 2017-2018 season where Knox scored in single digits, including two 1-9 from the floor performances. While I listed his shooting percentages at the top, that wasn't meant to be a compliment. Knox will have to improve on this to compete at the next level. Kevin is also not particularly quick either, which could be an issue since he'll mostly be guarding opposing 3s and 4s that will be quicker than him right out of the gate.
Fit With The Grizzlies
The potential Knox has as a scorer and role player is kind of diminished by his lack of speed and court vision. For the Grizzlies, Knox would almost be a starter from day one at the 3, competing with Dillon Brooks and Wayne Selden Jr. for a starting spot. The most likely situation to me would be much like Dillon's role from this past season. Except hopefully he wouldn't have to play as much as Dillon was asked to.
Knox has some work to do but could turn out to be a starter in the league. By no means do I project him as an all-star quite yet, but it's definitely not out of the question. Charlotte and the Clippers look like the likeliest destinations for Knox where he'll fit in as both teams look to retool even more this offseason.

Home International Museum Day Megillah case
Among the unique JMG collection of Esther Scrolls, there is this Megillah case decorated with silver filigree and provided with a small plaque, bearing the initials of its former owner, David Moses. This is non-other, than the well-known Rabbi David Angel of Larissa. In 1833, he was married to Gracia, daughter of Salonica-born Rabbi Shemtov Amarillio, who was the Chief Rabbi of Larissa in the first half of the 19th century. By the 1850's, David Moses Angel succeeded his father-in-law in his office. A Megillah, which contains the biblical story of Queen Esther and is read during the Purim festival, was traditionally bestowed by the bride's father to the groom on the first Purim of the couple's joint life.

A news agency supplies this resource "wholesale" and publishers enhance it for retail.
Quantitatively, the internet has massively expanded the sheer volume of news items available to one person.
The speed of news flow to individuals has also reached a new plateau. This insurmountable flow of news can daunt people and cause information overload.
We can call this period the "technetronic era", in which "global reality increasingly absorbs the individual, involves him, and even occasionally overwhelms him."
Online journalism is news that is reported on the Internet
In cases of government crackdowns or revolutions, the Internet has often become a major communication channel for news propagation; while it's a (relatively) simple act to shut down a newspaper, radio or television station, mobile devices such as smartphones and netbooks are much harder to detect and confiscate.
The propagation of internet-capable mobile devices has also given rise to the CITIZEN JOURNALIST, who provide an additional perspective on unfolding events.
A professor at the University Graduate School of Journalism, has said that " everything we thought we once knew about journalism needs to be rethought in the DIGITAL AGE." Today the work of journalism can be done from anywhere and done well. It requires no more than a reporter and a laptop.
In that way, journalistic authority seems to have become more individual- and less institution-based.
Online news has also changed the geographic reach of individual news stories, diffusing readership from city-by-city markets to a potentially global audience. Steve Jobs – Apple Worldwide Developers' Conference, 1997
Because internet does not have the "column inches" limitation of print media, online news stories can, but don't always, come bundled with supplementary material.
The medium of the world wide web also enables hyperlinking, which allows readers to navigate to other pages related to the one they're reading.
Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, have been dubbed news since ancient times.
A media organisation should adapt to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by changing audience behaviour in our module entitled "Newsroom evolution from digital denial to digital first".
According to some theories, "news" is whatever the news industry sells Journalism, broadly understood along the same lines.
News values are the professional norms of journalism.
Because each individual has a particular point of view, it is recognized that there can be no absolute objectivity in news reporting.
Journalists can collectively shift their opinion over what is a controversy up for debate and what is an established fact.
Some commentators on news values have argued that journalists' training in news values itself represents a systemic bias of the news.
The importance of social media in news production and news dissemination
The challenges and opportunities presented by social media
Social media is an increasingly disruptive force on the media landscape. It challenges traditional, mainstream media to reconsider how they operate.
Social media often releases information about which mainstream media might not have been aware, and information that mainstream media might have tried to ignore.It can offer a wider, more diverse perspective on life than that covered by traditional media.
An empowered audience
Now we look at what a social media strategy could mean for a media organisation. But first, let's look at how we got to this stage in media's development.
Media evolution
The media is in a constant state of change, or at least it should be.
There have been many stages of media evolution over the years, below we look at three. The "broadcast AT or publish AT" model, the "engage with on our terms" model, and the "participate in" model.
Technological advances, leading to changing audience behaviour, resulting in altered attitudes to consuming and sharing news, which means that a media organisation can't afford to stand still. Innovation is needed, but only if it makes business sense.

The USA is a big place – but no matter where you're based, it's easy to hit the road for a couple of hours or hop on a plane or train for a total change of scenery. From outdoor adventures to cool city escapes, here are just a few of the best weekend getaways in the States.
Only a couple of hours up the Hudson River from fast-paced New York City is Bear Mountain State Park. The appeal is easy to understand: 5000 acres of wooded hiking routes, lakeside picnic spots, mountain scenery and cross-country ski trails.
It may not be as big or as impressive as many of the world-famous national parks, but this accessible slice of wilderness is a (literal) breath of fresh air for anyone feeling stifled by the skyscrapers of the Big Apple.
Away from bright, brash Miami and the theme parks of Orlando is a very different Florida. You can easily while away a weekend in the Panhandle, winding your way through Apalachicola National Forest and on towards coastal Pensacola city.
On the way, you'll pass more untainted, crowd-free beaches than you'd think possible in the Sunshine State – stop off at St George Island for a particularly laid-back, low-key afternoon on the sand.
It may seem ambitious to cover a whole national park in a weekend, but Hot Springs National Park happens to be the smallest in the US. It's also particularly accessible, given that it includes part of downtown Hot Springs.
Hit the hiking trails, perhaps have a picnic at one of the many scenic spots, then ease your aching muscles with a soak at one of the bathhouses on inventively named Bathhouse Row. You can camp in the park itself, but for a full dose of TLC stay at the historic Arlington Hotel & Spa.
The town of Taos is notable for its beautiful light, mountain views, proximity to historic (and UNESCO-listed) Taos Pueblo, and the community of artists attracted by all of these things. In the 1920s, Mabel Dodge Luhan used her significant personal wealth to help artists settle here, and they never really left.
Over the years artists as well-known and respected as Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keeffe have lived here, and even now non-profit groups ensure there are always artists in residence. Head here yourself to enjoy galleries, museums, festivals and historic sites. Maybe you'll feel inspired enough to create something of your own.
Texas is one big state, and it's developing a culinary scene to match its size. Austin has earned a real reputation for street food and innovation, and its music scene is happily matched by the availability of late-night snacks.
Houston, by contrast, is the place to go for a highbrow brunch or polished restaurant food – but, as befits Beyoncé's hometown, there's plenty of hot-saucable southern-style cooking around, too. Completing the foodie triangle is Dallas, the go-to spot for artery-clogging, Texas-sized helpings of barbecue. A perfect culinary road trip round the Lone Star State – though expect the car to be a little heavier on your way home.
If you need a break from Seattle, Portland or even Vancouver, head to picturesque Port Townsend for a weekend of small-town relaxation. The maritime feel, Victorian buildings and stunning natural setting help you step back from modern life and slow down a little.
The activities on offer – farmer's markets, museums, outdoor activities in Olympic National Park – are a great getaway from a big city. Try staying in one of the town's B&Bs to get a closer look at the gorgeous historic buildings, or camping to appreciate the beautiful location.
Chicago might just offer the perfect city break. It's got all the advantages of a big city, but without feeling overwhelming or impersonal. Take advantage of good weather by wandering the beautiful outdoor spaces and admiring the famous modern architecture; on rainy days, head to one of the dozens of world-class museums.
Whatever the weather, make time to try out the Chicago food scene – a rival to New York City, LA or San Francisco, but actually affordable. What's not to love?
For families, Yosemite is a godsend. It encompasses 3000 square kilometres of stunning landscapes, bursting with outdoor activities and is accessible from big cities such as San Francisco and LA. You can head to one of the many campsites with great facilities, go for walks, or try something a little more exciting like rock climbing, zip-lining or rafting.
As an added bonus, the park's varied enough that there'll be something to do in any season. The only problem is, the kids (or you) may want to come back again next weekend, and keep exploring.
The oldest permanent settlement on the Mississippi River, Natchez is the perfect place to spend a languid, southern summer's day. It's also one of the prettiest towns in the deep south, with wide leafy avenues, antebellum houses and views across the wide Mississippi.
But there are plenty of other pretty towns with old buildings and traditional attractions; the reason people keep coming back to Natchez is for its real southern hospitality. That's worth a lot more than a kitschy horse-drawn carriage ride – though you can, of course, get that here too.
