For example, this foreign world...

Today, on the anniversary of the single release of 'Life On Mars?' (June 22, 1973) let's celebrate the fabulous Bowie song and its stunning iconic video!
Not since the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz did any man wear blue eye shadow so effectively. Photographer Karl Stoecker's striking image of Kari-Ann Mueller (designer Ossie Clark's 1960's favorite supermodel who later became Mick Jagger's sister-in-law) on Roxy Music's debut album cover could have been Bowie's reference for the 'Life on Mars?' video. The stark white background of both iconic images certainly makes the colors pop! Bowie's makeup artist Pierre La Roche did something similar with the extreme blue eyeshadow on Tim Curry as Frank N' Furter in The Rocky Horror Show (which premiered in London's West End on same week as the single's release, later to become a cult film.
David Bowie's song 'Life on Mars?' appeared in 1971 on his album Hunky Dory. It was later released as a single on 22 June 1973, upon the major success of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. To accompany Bowie's single's release Mick Rock filmed and directed a promotional video on May 12. It was produced for less than $350, shot in one day and edited in two days.
The cryptic lyrics and bleak story of 'Life On Mars?' conjure mundane images to which young people can strongly relate. An extremely jaded young girl searches for meaning and excitement in the cinema, only to find the bleakness of reality portrayed on the screen. The hopelessness is not limited to one place ("Rule Brittania [sic] is out of bounds", "It's on America's tortured brow", "From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads"). Civilization has made many of us feel alienated and isolated, looking to the skies for an escape to a higher plane in life – 'somewhere over the rainbow'.
We recall the children in Bowie's later single 'Starman' (April 1972), a last minute addition to The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Although 'Life on Mars?' preceded the hopeful young kids in 'Starman', the youthful protagonist is older and more jaded. In any case, we knew that David was singing about us. The video portrays none of this desolation – only our glamourous singer in extreme close-up.
Bowie's gorgeous iridescent ice-blue suit was designed by David's friend and tailor Freddie Burretti (Fred Burrett). Freddie created all of Ziggy Stardust's outfits from the first quilted suit, onward.
Freddie's design/measurement notebook indicates Bowie's waist at 26.5 inches. The fabric is a synthetic textile found in Southall, West London. The long jacket is lightweight and streamlined with wide lapels. This shape was a popular silhouette for women's trouser suits from Yves St. Laurent at that time. The trousers have large cuffs at the front only.
The blue 'Life on Mars?' suit was worn with a black & white striped shirt and silver/turquoise dotted tie with red stripe, and Oxford wingtip platform shoes. David also wore his silver Peruvian wedding bands (bangle bracelets). His wife Angie wore the same.
At the David Bowie Is exhibition, a vest made from the same ice blue material was displayed with a (newly added?) sequined lightning bolt. The vest is not worn by Bowie in the video.
For UK Vogue in May, 2003, Kate Moss was photographed by Nick Knight wearing some of Bowie's Ziggy costumes. The 'Life on Mars?' suit (by Burretti) included the vest.
(Bowie's brown suit on the back cover of Pin Ups – from Mick Rock's saxophone photo shoot -was a similar silhouette with a shorter, double breasted jacket by Derek Morton at Tommy Roberts' City Lights boutique).
The video portrays Bowie's face in extreme close-up as the entire landscape of the film, surrounded by a backdrop of pure white.
In the early days, Bowie used makeup tips that he had learned mostly from Lindsay Kemp during his time in Lindsay's mime troupe, and later in Japan by Kabuki theater onnagata, Tamasaburo Bando. Bowie's make-up artist from 1973 was Pierre La Roche from The House of Arden.
La Roche was born Jean-Luis du Cerisier in Algiers. Following a lonely childhood, Pierre moved to France, then England, where he became the star make-up artist at Elizabeth Arden in London. Quitting after five years when the company insisted he become more conservative, La Roche freelanced and was soon hired by David Bowie and also Mick and Bianca Jagger while he continued doing make-up for British fashion magazines, celebrities, and movie stars. During the sixties, Pierre was inspired by the Arab women of his homeland who painted their eyes black with khol, a dark ancient eye shadow. La Roche popularized black eye-shadow and originated the glitter look. Later, he moved to America to work with other celebrities and also designed make-up for the "average woman".
Most famously, La Roche applied Bowie's iconic lightning bolt makeup for 1973's Aladdin Sane album cover photo (although the cover's photographer Duffy claims that he himself painted the lightning flash on with lipstick. Pierre also created the golden astral sphere make-up on Bowie's forehead. La Roche filled in the circle on Bowie's face with gold leaf makeup. La Roche made up some of Roxy Music's album cover girls, and the cast of The Rocky Horror Show. Pierre died in the early 1980s.
The original version of the video cut to scenes of fans reaching out their hands to Bowie at a Ziggy concert. The inferior quality of the video shown in the 70s was due to a transferring error when it was copied. The version found on BOWIE – THE VIDEO COLLECTION (1993) is a re-edit of the original with the audience scenes removed, and Bowie is digitally bleached to emphasize his colorful make-up.
An alternative promotional film of 'Life on Mars?' was shown once on Top of The Pops(BBC), made from various clips of the Nationwide David Bowie Special, plus footage of Tony Curtis and Lulu arriving at the Hammersmith Odeon show on July 3, 1973. This film was only broadcast once on July 12, 1973. A 16 mm film by Mick Rock (transferred to video by Mainman in 1995) surfaced, which has additional 'Life On Mars?' outtakes, some in black and white.
The Creators Project festival featured the 'Life On Mars?' Film in Brooklyn, New York.
The film was recut (and exploded into shards) by artist Barney Clay. It was projected onto four walls. Visitors had to lie down on the floor while the nearly two-story-high Bowie face towered above.

Emancipet's Guide to Community Cat Resources
What are Community Cats?
From the Animal Humane Society: "Community cats are un-owned cats that live outdoors in the community. They may be feral or friendly, may have been born into the wild, or may be lost or abandoned pets." Community cats usually live in colonies with other cats.
Community cats are everywhere – colonies pop up in both urban and rural environments, and you've probably seen some community cats near your home or office.
How Can We Help Them?
There are many compassionate people and organizations providing care for community cats across the country and around the world. From feeding and creating a shelter to TNR and medical care, these cat champions are creating better lives for some of our most vulnerable feline friends.
The Humane Society of the United States has a comprehensive list of community cat resources in the US and Canada:
http://www.humanesociety.org/assets/maps/feral-cats.html
What is TNR?
TNR stands for "Trap / Neuter / Release" – "feral" or "community" cats are rounded up, taken in to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated when applicable, given an "ear tip" to easily identify them, and released back to their colony, where a caretaker continues to feed and care for them. This method of population control is humane, effective, and helps increase the quality of life for community cats.
What does Emancipet do to Support Community Cats and their Caretakers?
Emancipet understands the importance of TNR programs and has a policy of never turning away a cat in a trap if it is within our power to add it into the surgeries scheduled for the day. Spay/neuter services will be provided at Emancipet's for $69 and will include a tattoo and an ear tip.*
*Please limit 2 cats per visit.
Emancipet has built strong partnerships with TNR providers and city government in many of the communities we serve.
In the Austin area, Emancipet provides TNR services for community cats at our Pflugerville and East Austin clinics. If you have trapped a community cat, please call our resource center at 512-587-7729 by noon, and arrive at the clinic by 1 pm for surgery.
The Austin Humane Society has a great community cat program, providing free spay/neuter and vaccinations for cats without identified owners in Travis County. Cats trapped outside Travis county will incur a $20 fee. AHS has traps available to borrow, for cats coming into their clinics only. Spay/neuter clinics for community cats are held every Wednesday and Thursday at the Austin Humane Society, 124 W Anderson Lane.
http://www.austinhumanesociety.org/communitycat/
Emancipet provides TNR services for community cats at our Killeen clinic. If you have trapped a community cat, please call our resource center at 254-415-4950.
Through a generous grant from the Andrew Delaney Foundation, our Killeen clinic was able to provide community cats with free spay/neuter and vaccinations in 2018. Although funding has ended for the year, free services for community cats in Killeen will be available in early 2019.
Emancipet provides TNR services for community cats at our East End clinic. If you have trapped a community cat, please call our resource center at 713-321-2713.
Organizations in Houston providing free TNR services include BARC, Best Friends, and Friends 4 Life.

Emancipet is launching a campaign to spay/neuter and vaccinate 500 community cats in Philadelphia, all at no cost to their caretakers! If you have trapped a community cat, please call our resource center at 267-774-4901.
Our goal for this campaign is $42,000, and we're off to a good start with a $10,000 pledge from the Andrew Delaney Foundation. To learn more about this campaign, click here. To make a gift in support of the community cats of Philadelphia, click here.

A three-tier security has been arranged at strong rooms where EVMs were kept and no need to doubt on it, said District Collector and Election Officer J Nivas.
Srikakulam: A three-tier security has been arranged at strong rooms where EVMs were kept and no need to doubt on it, said District Collector and Election Officer J Nivas. At a press conference here on Tuesday, he explained that CRPF, armed police and state regular police have been deployed at strong rooms for tight security.
``We have replaced VV pats at 124 polling stations regarding Parliament polls and at 125 polling stations regarding assembly segments due to technical glitches,'' he stated. Through C-vigil teams we have registered 14 cases regarding parliament segment and 17 relating to assembly segments during elections. At 48 polling stations, polling was continued even after 9.30 pm on 11th April due to technical issues, the Collector explained and added that there is no need to doubt about EVMs security.
Regarding panchayat elections, he said that they will publish voters lists at all gram panchayats by 10th May and receive objections from voters later. Joint Collector KVN Chakradhara Babu, DRO, K.Narendra Prasad, district panchayat officer, B Koteswara Rao, DRDA, PD, A Kalyan Chakravarthy and rural water supply SE, T Srinivasulu were also present.

Woman sues Kanawha schools for son's injury
By Kyla Asbury | Nov 2, 2009
CHARLESTON -- A woman is suing the Kanawha County Board of Education after her son was injured at school.
Amanda L. Wikel claims her son suffered injuries to his right arm when he fell from the playground equipment at Elk Elementary School, according to a complaint filed Oct. 15 in Kanawha Circuit Court.
Wikel claims the Kanawha County Board of Education had a duty to care for her son, including a duty of proper instruction, supervision and maintenance of its equipment and premises.
On Oct. 16, 2007, the Board of Education breached its duty by allegedly failing to properly instruct and supervise Wikel's son and by failing to properly maintain its equipment and premises, according to the suit.
As a result, Wikel's son suffered a severe fracture of the radial neck in his right arm and a dislocated ulnohumeral joint in his right elbow
Wikel claims she and her son have suffered mental anguish and distress; pain and suffering; medical expenses; future lost earnings and lost earning capacity; future household services; aggravation, annoyance and inconvenience; and loss of enjoyment of life.
Wikel is suing for compensatory damages. Thomas H. Peyton of Peyton Law Firm is representing her.
The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Paul Zakaib Jr.
Kanawha Circuit Court case number: 09-C-1935

As qualified house inspectors we inspect the following areas; exterior, roof, structure, electrical system, heating system, insulation, plumbing system and the interior of the house. We look at these parts of the house not as isolated areas but keeping in mind what they may tell us about the other areas in the house. For example cracks in the plaster may indicate structural problems and water damage may indicate plumbing or roofing issues. These examples are straightforward but some issues get much more complex. As professional inspectors, we are trained to look at the house as a system in order to give you the best insight as to its present condition. As well as what major repairs it may need in the future. The following is only a brief description of what an inspection will include.
We encourage; the purchaser be present at the time of the inspection, if possible. Of course, we do not allow the purchaser to follow us in certain locations for safety reasons.
The inspection begins at first glance. We are looking for signs of water penetration, structural distress of the building, lot topography, as well as proper ventilation equipment. We inspect the foundation, walks, patios or decks.
We will go on the roof whenever possible. Occasionally snow, ice or the condition of a roof may prevent walking us from walking on the roof. We inspect chimney structure, flashings, gutters and vents as well as soffit and fascia. The attic inspection will sometimes show signs of roof deficiencies also.
We are looking for any serious signs of structural deficiencies throughout the house, from the foundation right up through the roof. New homes are no less vulnerable to oversights during construction.
We open the electrical panel to verify the correct amperage breaker or fuse is correctly linked with the proper gauge wire. We note the type of wire and report any deficiencies.
We evaluate the condition and age of the heating system. If it is an old boiler or furnace we sometimes recommend updating the furnace as the costs of operation may exceed the cost of a new system. We check to see that heat is distributed evenly throughout the house.
We look for signs of insulation throughout the house. We note the type and the approximate R-value. Typically most heat loss is through the attic. We enter the attic, if possible, to determine its approximate R-Value. Suggestions may be offered to improve the homes' energy efficiency.
We inspect all accessible plumbing to look for leaks, poor connections, improper support, damage, and venting issues. The water pressure as well as size and type of water entrance are also noted.
Inside the house, all of the walls and ceilings will be carefully evaluated for cracks or other problems. The doors and windows will be scrutinized for any problems with fit or function and air leakage. Basements and crawlspaces are inspected for signs of water infiltration.
At the end of the inspection, the inspector will give a verbal report of the major deficiencies seen in the house. Shortly after a carefully written report will be sent as a PDF to the buyers email address. For those still wishing to have a hard copy with the reference manual instead of the PDF version please make the request at the time of the booking. One advantage of the reference manual report is that very often it can be given to the buyers at the end of the inspection the very same day which can give the buyer the maximum amount of time before the closing date to make their decision. The detailed reference manual has information on nearly all the components of a home not just the components with issues found at the time of the inspection. The manual is intended to help the purchaser to get a better understanding of their new home and help to maintain the structure correctly. The disadvantage of this report is that it is a hard copy and the buyer must scan the eleven page report if he or she wishes to store the report pages on a computer.
Every house has yearly maintenance costs attached to them. The typical average is 1-1.5% of the value of your home and a 3% repair costs at the time of purchase is common.


Dr. Rasmus Toft-Kehler, CEO and Co-founder commented "Strengthening our management team is critical for the company's continued development and long-term success. What is common for Morten Boesen and Mads Jellingso is that they bring important experience and expertise from globally leading institutions within their respective fields. I am excited that they have decided to join our team at AntibioTx to support the next stage of our venture".
Morten Boesen will take on the role as Chief Financial Officer, starting from April 1, 2018. Since 2011, Mr. Boesen has worked with EQT, the leading private equity fund in the Nordics, initially as an investment manager and subsequently as an executive director in the EQT-owned global retailer, Tiger. Prior to that, Mr. Boesen worked as a management consultant with McKinsey & Company, in the M&A advisory of Nordea Bank, and in the finance department of Novozymes, the world leader in industrial biotechnology. Mr. Boesen holds a M.Sc. in Finance and Accounting from Copenhagen Business School.
Mads Jellingso will take on the role of Vice President of Commercialization. Mr. Jellingso joins AntibioTx from Novo Nordisk, where he most recently specialized in global market access and innovative contracting.

Student Energy Patrol Program
Activity Themes
Watt Watchers Teacher Training
If you're a K-12 educator looking for energy education resources for your classroom, or tips on how to save energy at your school, look no further - Watt Watchers of Texas is robust STEM program with over 130 lessons, activities, games, tips, videos, and more - and it's all 100% free.
Watt Watchers was founded in 1985. The original program focused primarily on the "Student Patrol Groups" walking up and down school hallways seeking out signs of energy waste throughout the building, such as lights left on or a leaky water fountain. Between 1985 and 2018, Watt Watchers student patrol groups have helped participating schools save thousands, to tens of thousands, to even hundreds of thousands of dollars in utility costs each year.
Today, the Watt Watchers program has expanded beyond the original student patrols and offers a modern look at how energy is embedded in our everyday lives. Designed to go deeper than just turning the lights off, students, teachers and families will now have the opportunity to learn about energy conservation and cost saving tips through modern, everyday categories, such as food, water, and transportation.
Watt Watchers of Texas is a state-sponsored program, and it's fully aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) science standards for grades K-12. A complete list of TEKS follows each lesson or activity, making it easy and convenient for educators to use. To get started, simply visit www.watt-watchers.com/activities.
Best of all, and thanks to a partnership with KLRN San Antonio PBS, the refreshed Watt Watchers program has teacher training workshops twice a year. Teachers who attend the KLRN workshops can receive professional development (PD) credit for their participation.
If you're an educator and you're interested in attending a future training, check out our Resources page to watch a past session. Likewise, be sure to sign up for our Watts Happening newsletter so you can be alerted to future training workshops.

Recently released figures show that Japan's annual trade deficit in 2014 rose for a third consecutive year to the highest rate since 1979.
According to preliminary data from the Japanese Finance Ministry released on Monday, the Japanese trade deficit in 2014 rose by 11.4 percent from the 11.5 trillion yen ($97.7 billion) in 2013 to a record 12.8 trillion yen ($109 billion).
The figures show that Japanese exports grew by 4.8 percent to 73.1 trillion yen ($620 billion) last year, while imports also went up by 5.7 percent to 85.9 trillion yen ($763.7 billion).
Last December, Japan's trade deficit almost halved compared to the previous year, mostly as a result of falling global oil prices, which have plummeted by more than 50 percent since last June.
Analysts say fuel costs have pressured Japan as its economy has been struggling to recover from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in the country, which forced the closure of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Figures last November suggested Japan had fellen back into recession after coming out of one in 2012.
Following a surge in fossil-fuel imports in 2011, Japan's trade balance turned negative for the first time in nearly three decades.

Q: Small Question on the Tor functor Suppose that I have an $A$ - module $N$ with $A$ commutative and I take a projective resolution of $N$:
$$\ldots \rightarrow P_2 \rightarrow P_1 \rightarrow P_0 \rightarrow N \rightarrow 0.$$
Suppose $M$ is some other $A$ - module. Now why is it the case that
$$\ldots \rightarrow P_2 \otimes_A M \rightarrow P_1 \otimes_A M \rightarrow P_0 \otimes_A M \rightarrow N \otimes_A M \rightarrow 0 $$
is not exact? I know that the tensor product is not in general left exact. However if the projective resolution is an infinite one then there is no "left" so why should the sequence above not be exact?
There has to be some problem with my understanding for then we always have $\textrm{Tor}_i^A(M,N) = 0$ for all $i$.

A: The exactness of a long exact sequence is equivalent to the exactness of lots of short exact sequences. Precisely, if:
$$\cdots\to X\stackrel{f}{\to}Y\stackrel{g}{\to}Z\to\cdots$$
is part of a long exact sequence, then the short sequence:
$$0\to\operatorname{im}{f}\stackrel{\iota}{\to}Y\stackrel{g}{\to}{\operatorname{im}{g}}\to0$$
is exact, where $\iota$ is the inclusion. Conversely, if each such short sequence (one for each object of the long sequence) is exact, then the long sequence is exact. As the tensor product may fail to take one of the short exact sequences to a short exact sequence, due to the failure of left exactness, it also may not preserve the exactness of the long sequence.

A: Example: $A = k[x]/x^2$, $k$ some field, $M = N = k$, the trivial module.
A resolution of $N$ is given by
$$ \cdots A \to A \to A \to A \to k $$
where the maps $A\to A$ are multiplication by $x$, and the map $A \to k$ sends $1$ to $1$ and $x$ to $0$.
I claim all the maps $A\otimes _A k \to A \otimes _A k$ are zero.  This is true because $1 \otimes _A 1 \mapsto x \otimes _A 1 = 1 \otimes _A x\cdot 1 = 1\otimes _A 0 = 0$.  The new sequence fails to be exact since it consists of non-zero modules, but all of the maps (except the last) are zero.

From time to time we have all been overwhelmed by the number of paintings, sculptures and artifacts juxtaposed in an array of museum rooms – haven't we? The aggregate of art pieces we are exposed to in a typical museum visit often induce a sense of fatigue, numbing us to the brilliance and allure of individual works of art. We begin to browse art pieces collectively and even jump from room to room hastily looking for just the masterpieces!
Every European city is a repository of art spanning the pre-historic to the contemporary, from world renowned museums to private collections, making both planned or unplanned art stops inevitable in a trip to Europe.
Institutions that conserve and curate any form of art are treasure houses worthy of respect, patronage and praise. No doubt. But somehow, in an era where digitization of information has made art more accessible to us on our devices – instantly and personally, the physical format of museums that conserve the original, un-pixelated pieces, hasn't evolved much. A series of interconnected rooms, all brimming with prized art pieces from a bygone era, set in quick succession and navigated in only one direction like an einbahnstrasse (one way street) offer few chances to intercept the art overload, resulting in a very cursory interaction with institutional art.
This is why the format of the Museum Island Hombroich – an ensemble of art, architecture and nature, situated near Düsseldorf, Germany would appeal to museum weary trippers. This museum was founded by the art collector Karl-Heinrich Müller in the early 80s to showcase his private art collection. Instead of building a typical gallery or museum the founder chose to showcase his art in pavilions! The island Hombroich that came with a pink villa, an outhouse, a barn, some rare flora and some fauna too, appealed to him as a perfect setting for sharing his art with the world. The villa was converted into a gallery to present the Rembrandts and Cézannes in his collection while the outhouse and the barn was metamorphosed into living spaces (with a library, that too) and art studios for artists who worked to realize Müller's idea of an art museum.
A visit to museum island Hombroich is like walking through tranquility interspersed by assorted art. The songs of birds and the sights of little animals scurrying in the background add to an enchanted feeling.The museum's cafe which is set both indoors and outdoors is an island in itself – far from the humdrum of a typical cafe. It offers complimentary sustenance to curious art enthusiasts treading the island.
Constant expansion, new additions and redesigning spaces were a significant part of Müller's style of curating. In the early 90s more land around the island was acquired to build a concert hall in order to bring music closer to art. Similarly, in 1994 an abandoned NATO missile station was added to the museum serving as a workspace for both artists and scientists in that area.
Having inherited Karl Heinrich-Müller's collection, Stiftung Hombroich (Foundation Hombroich) continues Müller's pace of adding new items to the collection, to keep the museum and the island alive.
Some visitors call it 'chapels in landscape', some others 'an adventure in art and nature', for many more, it could be a break from the hustle and bustle of worldly routines. Unbounded by typical museum signposts, curator's notes or museum apps, visitors can navigate the island in any random order they choose and create their own route plan. The nature walk from art-to-art is the time and space to reflect and absorb before stepping into another.

Lombard Street is an east–west street in San Francisco, California that is famous for a steep, one-block section with eight hairpin turns. Stretching from The Presidio east to The Embarcadero (with a gap on Telegraph Hill), most of the street's western segment is a major thoroughfare designated as part of U.S. Route 101. The famous one-block section, claimed to be "the crookedest street in the world", is located along the eastern segment in the Russian Hill neighborhood. It is a major tourist attraction, receiving around two million visitors per year and up to 17,000 per day on busy summer weekends, as of 2015. San Francisco surveyor Jasper O'Farrell named the road after Lombard Street in Philadelphia. read more…

Gilroy is a city in Northern California's Santa Clara County, south of Morgan Hill and north of San Benito County. Gilroy's origins lie in the village of San Ysidro that grew in the early 19th century out of Rancho San Ysidro, granted to Californio ranchero Ygnacio Ortega in 1809. Following Ygnacio's death in 1833, his daughter Clara Ortega de Gilroy and son-in-law John Gilroy inherited the largest portion of the rancho and began developing the settlement. When the town was incorporated in 1868, it was renamed in honor of John Gilroy, a Scotsman who had emigrated to California in 1819, naturalized as a Mexican citizen, adopted the Spanish language, and converted to Catholicism, taking the name of Juan Bautista Gilroy. read more…

Museum of Ice Cream, started in Manhattan, New York City, is an interactive art exhibit with ice cream and candy themed exhibits, all brightly colored, in a maze of rooms containing "among other things, a rock-candy cave, a unicorn, and a swimming pool of rainbow sprinkles". The exhibits are very often the backdrop for selfies, and the many selfies posted to Instagram, Flickr, Facebook, and other social media sites have served to promote the exhibit. Each visitor is offered numerous tastings throughout. Tickets must be purchased in advance for specific time slots online only. The term "museum" was chosen for the temporary art exhibition because it was something people would understand. read more…

Cannery Row is the waterfront street in the New Monterey section of Monterey, California. It is the site of a number of now-defunct sardine canning factories. The last cannery closed in 1973. The street name, formerly a nickname for Ocean View Avenue, became official in January 1958 to honor John Steinbeck and his well-known novel Cannery Row. In the novel's opening sentence, Steinbeck described the street as "a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream." read more…

Tourism in the United States is a large industry that serves millions of international and domestic tourists yearly. Tourists visit the US to see natural wonders, cities, historic landmarks, and entertainment venues. Americans seek similar attractions, as well as recreation and vacation areas. Tourism in the United States grew rapidly in the form of urban tourism during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By the 1850s, tourism in the United States was well established both as a cultural activity and as an industry. New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, all major US cities (cities in the United States), attracted a large number of tourists by the 1890s. By 1915, city touring had marked significant shifts in the way Americans perceived, organized, and moved. In the US, tourism is either the first, second, or third largest employer in 29 states, employing 7.3 million, to take care of 1.19 billion trips tourists took in the US (a culinary journey through the USA). There are 2,500 registered National Historic Landmarks (NHL) recognized by the United States government and 24 World Heritage Sites. As of 2016, Orlando is the most visited destination in the United States. Meanwhile New York and Los Angeles took over rank 1 and 2, placing Orlando on rank 3. Tourists spend more money in the United States than in any other country, while attracting the second-highest number of tourists after France. All of the 50 states have nicknames. read more…

You've got to go out of your way to buy a bad vehicle these days.
This is because automakers have improved their products so spectacularly in recent decades. Even so, they all can't be winners; there are still a few clunkers lurking in the shadows, cars and trucks you'd best sidestep like a goose turd on a golf green.
Our friends at Consumer Reports have compiled a list of 10 vehicles that should be avoided, no matter how attractive their styling or deeply they've been discounted. Each of these models is the lowest rated in its respective segment, from subcompact cars and electric vehicles to pickup trucks and luxury SUVs.
It's important to note these ratings are based on several important factors, including a vehicle's overall road test score, its owner satisfaction rating, safety score and, of course, the thing Consumer Reports is most famous for, reliability estimates. With that boilerplate out of the way, make sure to watch the embedded video to learn about the 10 worst new vehicles available in 2017.

But before you think this column is going to cast more evil light on smartphone invasions, I surprised myself by realizing how much my online communications actually improve relationships. Being disconnected also meant more distance between me and relatives.
I returned to civilization to find a picture my sister had sent to all of our siblings of our grandparents' home in Salt Lake City. It's been about eight years since they sold their home, moved into a wonderful independent living facility and then took turns leaving this life on a good note.

How To to Stop Cravings for Unhealthy Foods and Sugar?
Many times, you've been advised not to eat junk food. They're unhealthy. Eat homemade food. You might be bored of advices like avoid sugar intake etc. Such advises we tend to forget when we experience that strong craving as we encounter certain street food in front of us. Especially, when you return from work or college, you're really hungry and you walk past your favorite eatery shop. You can't just stop your legs from walking right towards that stall, just to enjoy every bite of that delicacy. I understand you guys. It's happened with me too many times.
I controlled my cravings many times. You too must join me soon. Street food is considered 'unhealthy' due to its contact with flies germs etc. as its preparation is done in open areas. Hygiene maintained in preparation, serving etc is a question mark. If you consume such food, you increase your chances of falling ill. Here are few ways that would help you stop your unnecessary craving, from my practical experience.
Thirst is often confused with hunger or food cravings. Drinking Water is the best solution to stop your craving. It's when you fill your tummy with sufficient water, you feel full. You feel like eating nothing more. Whatever craving you have, automatically gets eliminated. And you lazily move towards your home instead of standing or waiting for that delicacy to be prepared.
Have good quantity of food before leaving your home. Your stomach is full. So you won't be getting tempted to eat that street food for which your stomach starts craving.
If you've already made your mind not to eat that eatery across the street corners, you won't be tempted. Honestly speaking. This is my personal experience. You have to be determined enough to do this. Then only you can easily overcome the temptation.
Some studies show that when you're stressed, you crave for food. And you can't really control yourself at that time. That's why, one needs to get enough sleep. Even short power naps between your works do wonders; it's a really good way to control your craving.
While you experience cravings, you need to distract yourself. Get yourself engaged with some other activity. Listen to music. Ring a call to your friend, talk to your family etc. This will help you overcome the craving.
These were few effective ways. Apart from above, there are many other ways to control your craving: eat spinach, increase protein content, and include nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts) in your diet. You not only control your craving, but also you keep yourself healthy, while cutting down your unnecessary expenses on unhealthy street food.
Hope I helped you with my suggestions; waiting for my words to have positive effect on you!

The Break Presents – Big30
Robby Seabrook III
Robby Seabrook III Published: August 11, 2021
Shawn Hanna
Finding success is beautiful, but it's even better when two friends can pull it off at the same time. About four years ago, Big30 was a 17-year-old Memphis teen, rhyming with his close friend, Pooh Shiesty, now a multiplatinum-selling artist, 2021 XXL Freshman and a signee to Gucci Mane's 1017 Records. Back in those days, they dropped their first song "Breaking News" in late 2018, which also featured K Shiesty and Choppa Tee. The track took off locally, running up 100,000 views on YouTube in its first month of release. It was then that both Pooh and 30 knew they were on to something.
After "Breaking News" popped, Big30 kept rhyming and caught traction with his first solo song ever, "No Vouch," in July of 2019, reaching 2 million YouTube views in a month. "Don't need no nigga vouch for me (Nope)/Can't let 'em get no clout off me (Nope)/I won't take 'em down for cheap, you gotta up the salary (Come with it)/Ain't shit sweet, no calorie/Wipe his nose, he got allergies/Killers in the back of me, I shoot and they shoot after me (Blrrrd, blrrrd, blrrrd)," he raps on the track. The video sits at more than 10 million YouTube views.
30's style is best described as relentless; he packs in bar after bar, but is not a paint-by-the-numbers street rapper. The Down South rhymer is clever and can lock into flows while also pivoting off into other styles before landing perfectly back on beat. "No Vouch" showcases all of that clearly.
By September of 2019, he signed to Moneybagg Yo's Bread Gang imprint, which has its own partnership with N-Less Entertainment. The moment was captured on video, in which the two are shown counting money together. Big30 then went on a tear in 2020, releasing "Neighborhood Heroes" with Pooh Shiesty and DeeMula, currently at 23 million YouTube views, and the Pooh Shiesty-assisted "Allegations," now at 43 million views. "Shots Out the Vette," at 19 million views on the platform, plus "Perc Talk" and "Blrrrd," two solo songs that broke 9 million YouTube views each, have added to his momentum. These tracks, plus his recent singles, put Big30 on pace to really make a name for himself.
Armed with a gold plaque thanks to his strong feature verse on Pooh Shiesty's single "Neighbors," plenty of feature verses and the rise of his two new singles, "Mista" and "Too Official" featuring Yo Gotti, the rising artist has become one of the more popular new street rappers out. Ahead of his debut project coming this month, Big30 speaks to XXL about his career so far for this week's edition of The Break.
Hometown: Memphis
I grew up listening to: "Yo Gotti, Gucci Mane, Chief Keef. I feel like we share similar stories. We come from the same type of neighborhoods, same background, seen the same things growing up, just from different parts of the world, going through the same thing I'm going through."
My style's been compared to: "They compared us [Pooh Shiesty and I] to the Hot Boys, compare me to Biggie Smalls. They compare me to a lot of people."
I'm going to blow up because: "Daily and hourly, for weeks, I watched my followers and my views on YouTube, for every video, though. I watch my new video, then I go all the way to my first video, or some shit i dropped months ago, last year. I be seeing major jumps in that shit. That shit be jumpin, so I be knowin' I'm doing something right."
What's your most slept-on song, and why?: "It's this song called '28 Bars' I made when I first got signed. I feel like that got slept-on. People must've didn't listen to it, but my fan base wasn't as big as it is now."
My standout records to date have been: "By myself, probably 'Mista.' It's the one I just dropped. It's doing more numbers than I ever did, and it's still trending right now. And I ain't never been trending this long. I really think it's because I'm back in my hood. I let them see my hood. People be likin' that. They be wanting to see that type of footage. A lot of rappers can't even go back to they hood."
My standout moments to date have been: "Rolling Loud. That was the biggest moment of my career. I ain't never performed in front of no crowd like that. It felt good. I really wasn't even scared. Not scared, but you know how you have the butterflies, walking onstage, you have a little funny feeling in yo' stomach? I felt the energy from the crowd. I really wasn't even feeling no type of way. They was waiting on me. I was supposed to be there."
Most people don't know: "I really like driving a lot. I'm interested in fast cars, doing donuts or whatever."
I'm going to be the next: "Grammy winner. I'ma be the next platinum-selling artist or something like that. Millionaire to $10 million."

Every piece of property in Victoria has a market value that is constantly changing. Assessing the value of any piece of real estate or other real property requires knowledge of market conditions that fluctuate from day to day. In real estate, the value of a piece of property can be affected by the development of a nearby area; a shopping center for example, might raise or lower the value based on its local appeal.
When in the process of readying your home for sale, the services of an appraisal service are useful in determining a price range that will be similarly evaluated by interested buyers. Getting an appraisal is not like putting a firm price tag on whatever it is that you're selling, it's the determination of the current market value of that property. If that property were being sold at a competitive auction attended by informed, interested buyers, its estimated selling price is referred to as its market value.
A proper appraisal gives you knowledge of how much you could expect your property to sell for at such an auction, but generally you'll be selling at a discount from that price. Appraisers can give less accurate estimations of realistic selling prices on an open market, but waiting for the right buyer to come along can take time. Most buyers pay market value or higher only if interested specifically in what you're selling and are willing to forego the wheeling and dealing, but knowing the ideal price gives you a range at which you can fairly settle.
If you're looking to get something appraised, or are looking for more information about Victoria BC's appraisal services, start by checking out our member offers below.


Argonaute proteins use microRNAs (miRNAs) to identify mRNAs targeted for post‐transcriptional repression. Biochemical assays have demonstrated that Argonaute functions by modulating the binding properties of its miRNA guide so that pairing to the seed region is exquisitely fast and accurate. However, the mechanisms used by Argonaute to reshape the binding properties of its small RNA guide remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a structural element, α‐helix‐7, in human Argonaute2 (Ago2) that is required for speed and fidelity in binding target RNAs. Biochemical, structural, and single‐molecule data indicate that helix‐7 acts as a molecular wedge that pivots to enforce rapid making and breaking of miRNA:target base pairs in the 3′ half of the seed region. These activities allow Ago2 to rapidly dismiss off‐targets and dynamically search for seed‐matched sites at a rate approaching the limit of diffusion.
The RNA‐Induced Silencing Complex (RISC) is guided to target mRNAs via complementarity to the Argonaute‐bound miRNA. Argonaute2 controls target pairing in the miRNA seed region using a structural element (helix‐7) and thereby enables fast and accurate target searches.
Structural and biochemical data reveal how Ago2 mediates miRNA target search and binding.
The miRNA seed region is composed of two functionally distinct domains.
The seed 5′ domain is immobile and the 3′ domain is flexible and dynamic.
Dynamics of the seed 3′ domain are controlled by helix‐7 in Ago2.
Helix‐7 enables efficient miRNA target searches by accelerating the making and breaking of miRNA:target base pairs and minimizing time spent on off‐targets.

I still also think that child abuse may be a big part of this investigation. Why didn't GMCC confront DP as to what he was suggesting about Maddie and on another occasion DP'S own daughter L. As a parent of very young and very vulnerable and naive children why did he not question what was being implied? Why when there were several couples at the table did only one have any concerns for the safety of her own children? Why did neither K or G show any concern or confront DP, was this gesture in company a threat of sorts that something further would be revealed unless a certain demand was met? Was that something so damaging that the MCC family would be destroyed? Was it a case of you give up the one child we want and keep two and save yourselves from what obviously must follow, or loose them all? Was Maddie killed to prevent what they knew what she was possibly about to be subjected to? This is all conjecture and my thoughts only, I am making no accusations.

EAA Chapter 322 visit to Krugersdorp Airfield
Chapter 322 members of the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) of South Africa were invited to visit Krugersdorp Airfield on Saturday 21 January to view the progress of a number of build and restorations currently in progress.
To coincide with the visit three Tiger Moth Club members flew in from Baragwaneth joining two of Krugersdorp's Tigers and a Stampe based at the field. To add flavour to the occasion Roy Watson brought two of his immaculately restored vintage cars.
By then the aroma of Breakfast drew everybody to the clubhouse and the tables were soon packed with hungry visitors and club members.
The first port of call was Kevin Hopper of SkyWorx Aviation's hangar where the Teddy build is slowly progressing. Kevin, the designer of the Teddy has donated a partly completed fuselage and other parts to the EAA. The Teddy build is a EAA sponsored project and all members are encouraged to attend the weekly build days at Kevin's hangar.
Then it was over to Andy Lawrence's hanger where his latest project, a Vans RV10, is now nearing completion. Andy who is an accountant first project was a Bushbaby followed by a Vans RV6 that he still flies. He started work on the RV10 almost six years ago and the quality of work and attention to detail that has gone into the build is amazing. The Garmin Glass panel includes a full EFIS and engine management system as well autopilot and since Andy intends to fly regularly down to the Cape he has installed two wing tip tanks that will give him almost six hours endurance. The tamks will be covered by the wing tip fairings.
Andy has got his next project already lined up. Sharing space in his immaculate hangar is a Piper Cruiser that he intends to restore.
Next up was the hangar of Paul and Peter Lastrucci. Paul is the Chairman of the EAA of SA and Peter is absolute fundi on aircraft engines. They are currently restoring a Piper Cruiser that had been in the family since 1979. ZS-VZU was imported into the country during 1946 by Placo and over the years where owned by a number of people including the late Pieter Cilliers who installed a 150hp engine in the little cruiser. Like all the restoration projects undertaken by the brothers this Cruiser will be better than when it left factory.
Chapter 322's build visits not only allow builders to share their experiences but also encourage other EAA members to undertake projects.
