Who Is Kanye West's Super Stylish Companion?
By Liana Satenstein
Who is that stylish woman with the bleach blonde hair and a Starbucks cup who stepped out with Kanye West in Calabasas today? Is it a colorful assistant who loves tights in a really bold print? Or perhaps a publicist who dares to wear something more outgoing than Yeezy himself? Not quite. It's actually Lotta Volkova, the longtime stylist for Vetements and Balenciaga. Volkova, who is Russian and well-known for her good-taste-bad-taste wardrobe, was spotted with the rapper turned designer while wearing an oversize mint green blazer with a red button-up (the peek of a knit yellow turtleneck underneath), a bronze-hued miniskirt, the aforementioned tights, and a pair of scuffed white sneakers. In a very Balenciaga-Vetements style, she also sported tiny white-framed sunglasses. As for Yeezy, he went the pared-back athleisure route (his signature aesthetic) in a white sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and a newly dyed haircut that resembled a rainbow snow cone. Or the icon for Google Chrome.
So what was the creative duo up to? Maybe Volkova will be working on the next season of West's Yeezy collection, or maybe she was just offering him personal styling tips. Who knows! The possibilities are endless. Nonetheless, their meet-up may signify something big to come. After all, it is public knowledge that West has long been a fan of Vetements, a brand that Volkova has been involved with since its inception. West is also a huge admirer of Demna Gvasalia, the creative director of Balenciaga and Vetements. In fact, almost two years ago in February 2016, West tweeted the simple statement: "I'm going to steal Demna from Balenciaga." In other words, although Volkova carried a cup of Starbucks, this was probably more than just a coffee meeting.

Environmental hopes cloudy one year after Florida lagoon's fish apocalypse
Jim Waymer
MELBOURNE, Fla. — Indian River Lagoon fishermen are reeling in some glimmers of hope. But experts say fish could take years to recover from last year's unprecedented kill, and the estuary's future — like its water —remains cloudy.
"It's hard to know about getting fish populations back, because to be honest, we don't know how many died," said Duane De Freese, executive director of the Indian River Lagoon Council.
Water quality has improved in most of the lagoon, De Freese said, "but we are still seeing rolling algal blooms. The system is still vulnerable."
A year ago this week, a "brown-tide" algae breakdown clogged canals with rotting fish. More than 30 species died. Fish carcasses floated up from Titusville to Palm Bay — a 50-mile area spanning a third of the lagoon — but mostly centering in the Banana River in Cocoa Beach.
Smithsonian researcher: Put some more mussels into saving Fla. lagoon
Fla. gov. declares emergency due to algae bloom
Apocalyptic images of rotting fish flashed around the globe, to the horror of local businesses and tourism officials who feared the lagoon, a $7 billion cash cow, was dying right before their eyes.
Volunteers donned surgical masks and gloves as they combed the lagoon banks in a massive community-wide cleanup, filling more than 80 dumpsters with an estimated 50 to 65 tons of fish carcass.
Biologists blamed local runoff for the death toll. Each storm delivers excess nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers, grass clippings and leaky septic tanks and sewer systems to the lagoon.
Fish tried to flee. But those that escaped south found only short-term relief. Less than a month later, triggered by massive phosphorus-laden water releases from Lake Okeechobee, the St. Lucie Estuary and southern lagoon saw blue-green algae clump into thick toxic globs resembling smashed avocados.
Scientists also blamed an extremely wet winter for the problems.
Climatologists say this year should be better. With the climate hovering comfortably between two extremes — El Niño and La Niña — they see much lower odds of the lagoon reliving last year's extremes. But they also say a full fish recovery depends on more than the weather.
Biologists said Brevard's lagoon fish suffocated en masse when the long-blooming brown tide algae crashed. Bacteria decomposing the algae consumed oxygen in the water, causing low levels of dissolved oxygen.
The brown tide crash hit the already vulnerable lagoon.
Some areas, such as the southern Mosquito Lagoon in northern Brevard County, had never fully cleared of the seemingly endless string of algae blooms that began with a green algae "superbloom" that exploded in 2011 and killed off about half of the lagoon's seagrass.
Ecologists consider seagrass a key barometer of an estuary's health and the linchpin of the food web. It provides vital nursery habitat for juvenile fish, crabs and other marine life. When it vanishes, species flee elsewhere and sediments cloud the water, making it more difficult for the bottom plants to grow back.
In 2009, seagrass covered about 70,000 acres of the lagoon, a coverage not seen since the 1940s. Two years later, the "superbloom" left behind only 38,000 acres, according to data from the St. Johns River Water Management District. Seagrass grew back to 48,000 acres by 2015.
But the district expects 2017 seagrass maps will show the vital bottom plant losing ground again, which has biologists concerned that could mean long-term dead zones throughout the lagoon.
But on a positive note: Chlorophyll, a green plant pigment that indicates presence of algae, has in most spots dropped below 10 micrograms per liter. During last year's fish kill chlorophyll reached 10 times that level, said Chuck Jacoby, supervising environmental scientist with the St. Johns district.
As algae and seagrass compete for dominance during their mutual growing season, the winner could determine how much room fish have to breathe. Seagrass yields more oxygen and habitat for fish, while excess algae creates low-oxygen levels in the water that can be fatal for fish and other marine life.
Temperatures also will determine how fish-friendly the lagoon is. Dissolved oxygen is among the most vital indicators of good water quality. Fish need at least 2 milligrams per liter of dissolved oxygen in the water. Below that, they begin to suffocate. This week, the oxygen remained at healthy levels at five lagoon monitoring sites, 6 milligrams per liter or higher.
The hotter water gets, the less oxygen it can hold, because there are larger spaces between water molecules, so it's easier for oxygen to escape into the air. Water molecules pack closer together in cooler water, holding oxygen tighter.
What killed the lagoon?
Extremes kill, and in ecological terms, the 2011 "superbloom" was the lagoon's 9/11.
"It changed the whole dynamic of how the system works," said Ed Phlips, professor of algal physiology and ecology at the University of Florida.
Seagrass and other bottom plants were a buffer that absorbed nutrients. "When that community got really hammered ... that meant any nutrients that came into the lagoon were really going into the phytoplankton community."
That set the stage for the main fish killer — brown tide. The algae called Aureoumbra lagunensis appeared in lagoon samples as early as 2005, but not at bloom levels until 2012. It bloomed again in 2013, 2015 and peaked last year.
The brown tide algae cells are so tiny that it would take 200 of them to stretch across the period at the end of this sentence. Biologists believe its tiny size, coupled with a mucus cell coating, might be why clams and other shellfish tend not to filter feed on the algae, allowing it to grow out of control.
De Freese says the lagoon may have shifted to more small algae species that cycle nutrients more quickly, rather than seagrass and other plants that sequester them for longer periods of time.
That shift,which leads to more fish kills, took decades to happen, scientists say, so returning the estuary to one more dominated by seagrass won't be cheap, or easy.
The lagoon's ecological comeback hinges in part on whether more than $302 million from a new Brevard County sales tax and other funding can grow back bottom plants that lay the foundation for all life in the lagoon.
The grass must have a chance to grow on sandy bottom, not gooey black slime, in water less loaded with nutrients from fertilizers, leaky septic tanks and sewer systems.
"We need to put the Indian River Lagoon on a nutrient diet and it needs to be aggressive," De Freese said. "This focus on upgrading our infrastructure is a smart environmental and economic place to be ...No question that we've turned the corner politically, we haven't turned the corner ecologically."
Brevard voters on Nov. 8 approved a special half-cent-per-dollar lagoon sales tax that will raise about $34 million a year for the next 10 years for lagoon cleanups, with about two thirds of money going toward muck removal.
Earlier this month, Brevard County commissioners unanimously approved allocating $25.87 million for 42 projects from the tax. The total cost of these projects is $68.77 million, and the rest of the money would come from other funding sources.
Florida legislators have allocated more than $40 million in the past two years toward Brevard muck dredging projects.
As fishermen await the ecological spoils of that dredging, in the meantime they crowd to Sebastian Inlet and the lagoon's other five openings to the ocean, where sea water washes out pollution and the fishing shows signs of recovery. But in the areas in between the inlets, the fishing's been, well, lousy.
"All of the areas that used to have extensive seagrass beds are just bare," said Ned Scheerhorn, of Titusville, a member of the Florida Fly Fishing Association, a Cocoa-based group with about 115 members.
Scheerhorn hasn't been fly fishing from his kayak in about six months. Last time he tried, the water was so brownish-green, he gave up.
He's gone wading to fish a half dozen times, but caught just one trout. So now he focuses on fishing the St. Johns River, instead.
"It was just pathetic, I don't even go saltwater fishing anymore."

Oven Roasted Turkey Legs with Gravy and Mashed Potatoes…..
It's a crisp -5 degrees today. Wow, that's cold! Time to stay in and make comfort food!
I wanted to share with you something I made last night for dinner that was absolutely delicious! Oven roasted turkey legs. Why only enjoy turkey during the holidays? It is quite economical to buy turkey legs and thighs throughout the year without having to deal with the entire roasted bird. The added bonus here is that your kitchen will be warm from the oven and the smell of roasting turkey will waft through your house, nice! If you have frozen turkey legs, be sure they're completely thawed before cooking. You won't believe how easy this!
I would put the potatoes on the stove about 1 hour before the turkey is done. Once you mash them just keep them tightly covered on the back of your stove until ready to serve.
Serve this dinner with a simple salad or vegetable and you're good to go. Make enough for leftovers for sandwiches or turkey pot pie!
1) Preheat the oven to 325′. Best to cook the legs in a roasting pan that you can cover.
2) Coat the legs with olive oil with one hand and season generously with salt, pepper and oregano with your clean hand. Place in roasting pan and add 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom of the roaster. Cover and place in oven. Roast for an hour and check to be sure you have liquid in the pan. Add enough liquid to cover the bottom of the pan. Roast covered another hour. Remove lid and roast another 30 minutes uncovered all the while making sure there is liquid in the bottom of the pan.
3) Remove the legs from the roasted and place onto a plate, cover tightly with foil.
1) Peel and slice the potatoes and put them into a large pot. Cover with water and add salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 20-25 minutes. Poke a potato with a fork while in the pot to be sure they're tender. Drain well and put the potatoes right back into the pot. Add the butter, sour cream and warm milk. Cover with the lid and allow to stand for about 5 minutes. 2) Beat with a hand mixer for about a minute so that it doesn't have large lumps. Add additional milk if too thick. Taste. Add additional seasoning if necessary. Cover with the lid until ready to serve. Makes about 6 servings.
**if most of the drippings have evaporated from the roasting pan, add a cup of water to the pan and put the pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan. You now have drippings ready to use.
Sports cookies! I can't stop myself!
I have this awesome bakery supply source. They offer sanding sugars, gel food coloring, baking pans and tons of other baking supplies. LOVE IT! I received my first order yesterday, it felt like Christmas!
What a great day! Went to bed after midnight last night so it was nice to relax today. Got up around 8:30 (that's sleeping in for me!) and my kitchen was totally clean! My honey got up before me and cleaned up, so nice! I made delicious omelettes around 10:00. I sauteed mushrooms, onions, and yellow peppers. I stuffed my omelet with the veggies and sharp cheddar cheese, so good! I had a little fresh fruit and a toasted cinnamon raisin english muffin. It doesn't get much better than that!
So, let me tell you about last night. We had a fire going in the livingroom and a our Christmas tree lit. The smells in my house were as warm and cozy as the fire. The appetizers and desserts I served were a hit! Appetizer parties are my absolute favorite! I made most everything ahead of time. I just had to pop them in the oven and serve. Easy peasy. I always label my serving platters ahead of time so I don't have to think about it when I have guests. I also make a "cheat sheet" that I tape to my kitchen cabinet. I've forgotten to serve things in the past, huge bummer.
The crab cakes were dynamite! I made a lovely roasted red pepper aioli. I did end up making fried calamari with a quick marinara sauce. This was incredibly simple. I dusted the calamari with a blend of flour, dried parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Right into the hot oil for one minute. The parmesan stuffed mushrooms went like wildfire. I baked them for 20 minutes in a small amount of beef broth in the bottom of the pan. I also served ham and gruyere swiss cheese in puff pastry with whole grain mustard, savory and delicious.
The grand finale was fabulous. I served the chilled cinnamon cheesecake squares, fresh berries with mascarpone, and chocolate chip cookies. It was perfect. Fresh berries, creamy cheesecake, and a little chocolate.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday! I'm looking forward to a schedule in my house!
I am so not going out today! Not my cup of tea. Will have to do my grocery shopping this weekend but will save it till tomorrow.
The question is….what will I be cooking today??? My oldest son Jack who's home from college for the holiday is wanting tacos. So cute!
I discovered that when I put my delicious crunchy Mock Praline Crunch topping on my pumpkin pie ahead of time the topping absorbed the moisture from the pumpkin, it was no longer crunchy:-( So, I would recommend storing the topping in an air tight container after it's completely cool and top just before serving.
Oh my gosh! I've been without Internet for five days! I felt like I was missing a limb!
Anyway, look for a new post in the next day or so.
We started out in Ft. Collins, Colorado. We went to visit my brother Rich and his family. I'm pictured here with Ryan and Rich's niece, Penelope. We traveled a couple of hours from Ft. Collins to the Georgetown Loop Railroad.
Loved the scenic and relaxing ride!
The railroad was used in the late 1800's for gold and silver mining. Read more on the history of the railroad here.
It was great to spend time with my brother Rich (far right), and my nephews Cory (center), and Caleb (left).
Pictured here with my nephews is my sister in law Pam. She is a massage therapist….total jackpot! Yes, I received a glorious massage from her the day before my journey back to Chicago.
My brother Steve also came along, he too lives in the Chicago area. It was so great to be with my brothers!
The next day after our train ride, we ventured on to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park. In one word….BEAUTIFUL! One of the things I noticed from the moment I arrived in Denver was the lack of trash on the road sides and in public places. There is a great respect for nature.
The entrance into Rocky Mountain National Park.
It was great to bring Penelope along, Ry had a pal for the trip!
Awesome Caleb….the scenery is pretty awesome too!
This picture was taken from my car, thank you very much! There were people getting far too close for my comfort. The rangers came along and made the spectators leave.
Here you see a herd of elk. We saw other herds and smaller groups through out our ride through the mountains.
What would vacation be without some fun in the sun and swimming???
My big (soon to be) first grader….
Ryan and I returned to Chicago with my brother Rich and Caleb. We were home for one night then off to Michigan for a couple of family reunion picnics. So FUN!
Aren't cousins the best??? Here we have Ryan, Caleb, Lucas, and Bianca.
So fun, so great to be back home! Now it's time to gear up for school!
Hard to believe Jack's graduation party is this weekend. Whenever I start planning for a party, I get all these grandiose ideas of more complicated things I can make. Then I bring myself back to reality and decide on something simple, delicious, and easy to serve. After all, I've got so many other things to think about. Cleaning the house, setting up the yard with tables and chairs, decorations….who has time for a super complicated menu??
I'm going to serve some cold dips. I'm thinking guacamole with chips and veggies with ranch dip, and maybe some sort of bean dip. I may buy most of that. I must remember….EASY!
I've decided on pulled pork. I like to serve it with small buns, our guests can have a small sandwich or several depending on their appetite. I can make it a day or two ahead and I'll keep it warm throughout the day on low in a crock pot. The party is an open house so I'd like for every guest to have fresh food available when they arrive. I'll be serving my offerings buffet style, in the cool house so that I can easily manage refilling salads. This will help me to avoid wilty, funky looking food and outside pests.
What will accompany my pulled pork sandwiches?
I'll serve all beverages outside. We'll have everything in coolers readily available for self serve.
What's a party without desserts???
I thought about a graduation "cake". This would entail waiting to cut cake…when do you cut a beautiful graduation cake at an open house?? I decided on delicious cupcakes in Jack's high school colors. I'll do chocolate and vanilla. That way no one will miss out on cake, it'll be super easy to serve, and easy to eat.
We'll need more treats. Cookies! My favorite!
Did you all have a nice holiday weekend? Wasn't the weather amazing? What did you do? How did you celebrate in the way of food? Drink?
I made my famous Simple Barbecue Ribs. Amazingly simple. So delicious! I tried something very new that I will be sharing very soon. Have you been to Mexico? Street vendors sell corn with mayonnaise, lime, cilantro, chili powder, and lime. I made a salad that is much easier to eat and is so delicious. I started by grilling fresh sweet corn on the cob….well, more details later.
I also served my latest salad, Chayote, Pear, and Avocado Salad with Lime Dressing. My family loved it! So fresh and different!
I hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day weekend! We lucked out with gorgeous weather, the rain held off until today. My husband Joe is on a well deserved fishing vacation in Canada, he's in his glory! He's taken my son Jack as well, pretty spectacular graduation gift, don't you think?
I'm gearing up for my week of cooking. What I'm most excited to get working on is my version of falafel. If you haven't had the opportunity to enjoy falafel, it's a delicious Lebanese dish made of garbanzo beans. Traditionally it is fried, but I want to make my own version of an "oven fried" falafel. Garbanzo beans, onions, lots of garlic and spices go into a food processor. It is then shaped into balls and fried. In my opini0n, best enjoyed on whole wheat pita bread with fresh cucumber and onion with a delicious tahini sauce…can't wait!
I'll also be working on a traditional Lebanese salad, tabbouleh. Made of bulgur wheat this salad is the perfect accompaniment to a fabulous falafel sandwich.
If you haven't tried these Lebanese specialties, I think you should give it a try. The flavors are amazing and you will not miss having meat. Healthy and delicious.
Look for these recipes in a few days.

In one breath I tell you that you know everything. This is true. Deep within you, unseen, perhaps not even hinted at, you know the whole mechanics of creation. There isn't anything you don't know. Remembering and comprehending – they are two different stories.
In another breath, I tell you that you don't need to know everything. You don't have to know anything. What do you think you have to know in order to create your life and make it lovely? Perhaps you have to know less than you think you do. Innocence is good. It keeps you from being clever. In addition to innocence, what do you require to direct the course of your life?
Desire and intention. Both are good. Intention is mighty powerful.
Everyone desires good fortune, don't you think? Yet not everyone intends good fortune.
There are too many who are certain that life chases after them, that difficulties pursue them, and that despair is their lot in life. They almost make sure they don't have good fortune since they see a different story and seem to pursue it hand over fist.
Sometimes it certainly seems that some people cling to misfortune, expect it, encourage it. They may say that life is unfair, that I, God, am unfair, that I don't give them a chance when it is they who are unfair to themselves by announcing that they are put upon, that their suffering is greater than any other's, that they are picked to be picked on, and, yet, beloveds, they pick themselves for trouble.
They could just as well lift their heads and choose good fortune for themselves. Why not? Why wouldn't they? Did they convince themselves that they are tragedians?
Intention goes beyond wishing upon a star. And, yet, beloveds, there is nothing wrong with wishing upon a star. Stars are great luminaries, and they like to be wished upon. Wouldn't you like to be wished upon? Wouldn't you brighten up if you knew that you were wished upon? What a great role that would be! To be chosen as a wish-fulfiller!
Turn on your headlights. You can see further than you are presently seeing. Turn on your lights, and you won't be confined to shadow, not at all. Your eyes are your future. What your eyes see today, what your thoughts think today predict your future. Your thoughts are your headlights. It is a good idea for you to light your own candle. Light and relight.
Pay attention to what you see and what you say about what you see. You don't have to voice your every thought. Consider your thoughts like magic wands you wave around. Wave what you want to come true. No longer brandish what you do not want. Light up your wishes. Drop your doom thinking. You don't have to think that way so stop thinking that way. Stop predicting misfortune. Stop anticipating worse to come. Anticipate what you desire. Intend it.
What I am saying now is something that is good for you to know and good for you to follow. Do you know better advice?
Have you perhaps been advising yourself to grumble? To point out what a victim of life you are? To proclaim that you always get dealt the worst card in the deck?
Your thoughts have been like powerful magnets. You have been a tumbler of thoughts. You catch your thoughts, and you toss them up again. What you toss, you catch.
Of course, you see yourself as innocent, and there is the strong sense in which you are, or you would think differently. Now, bless yourself and promulgate what you would like. Let yourself out of the captivity of past thoughts right now.

In the last week of September Sliven will again become the center of the tennis for children in our country. From 28 September to 1 October another tournament of the chain "Dynamo" will be held, this time for children under 14 years old. The tournaments are held by the initiative and with the financial support of the engineering plant "Dynamo", which provides the prize fund. Based on an idea of the Sliven Company this year for the first time in our country competitions in tennis for children with a prize fund were held, which makes them professional tournaments. Dynamo provided 5,000 leva for the winners in each of the tournaments in the form of vouchers for sports shop HEAD.
At the end of September on the courts of Tennis Academy "Sports Palace" the best Bulgarian tennis rackets born between 01.01.1997 and 31.12.2001 will meet. The matches will be played on 4 clay courts. The competitors will be placed according to the rankings of the TE till the 20th-place and according to the ranking of the BTF. The matches are singles and doubles.
The competition will be extremely tight. That is clear from the applications received, the chief judge of the tournament Anatoly Peev said. It is expected more than 60 young tennis players to take part in the tournament. Applications for participation are already submitted by the three Burgas clubs - "Chernomorets", "Neftohimik" and "Breeze", "Elite" - Varna, "Augusta Trayana" - Stara Zagora, "Albena" - Plovdiv, club "15-40" - Sofia , "Etur" - Veliko Tarnovo and tennis clubs from Haskovo and Yambol. The entering continues.
With the financial support of the leading manufacturer in the field of engineering - "Dynamo" JSC, Sliven can now be considered one of the sports centers in the country. The company is among the sponsors of the prestigious car race "Rally - Sliven" and the realization of the children's tennis tournaments are entirely its product - as an idea, organization and funding. Thus, after succeeding in expanding its markets in USA as a main supplier of generators for a number of leading companies there, the company has realized its ambitious sports program that successfully fitted into the Sliven social life too. Just this summer here were held two other tennis tournaments for children organized by Dynamo. The national Championship in June determined the Bulgarian athletes who will take part in the European Championship. The beginning of September has become a true celebration of children's tennis, when over 100 children from across the country struggled for the Cup of Dynamo. The company has already established stars in Bulgarian sports. Next year it aims to increase the number of tournaments and to extend the age limit too, to give a chance for more young players to take on the road to the world courts.

Hohhot, formerly known as Kweisui or Guisui, is the capital of Inner Mongolia in the north of the People's Republic of China, serving as the region's administrative, economic and cultural center. Its population was 3,446,100 inhabitants as of the 2020 census, of whom 2,944,889 lived in the metropolitan area consisting of 4 urban districts (including Hohhot Economic and Development Zone) plus the Tümed Left Banner.

The name of the city in Mongolian means "Blue City", although it is also wrongly referred to as the "Green City." The color blue in Mongol culture is associated with the sky, eternity and purity. In Chinese, the name can be translated as Qīng Chéng () The name has also been variously romanized as Kokotan, Kokutan, Kuku-hoton, Huhohaot'e, Huhehot, Huhot, or Köke qota.

The city is a seat of the Inner Mongolia University, the largest regional comprehensive university and the only 211 Project University in Inner Mongolia.

History

Early history
Yunzhong Commandery () was a historical commandery of China. Its territories were between the Great Wall and Yin Mountains, and correspond to part of modern-day Hohhot, Baotou and Ulanqab prefectures in Inner Mongolia. The central city of Yunzhong was in the suburbs of today's Hohhot.

The commandery was created during King Wuling of Zhao's reign after a successful campaign against the Linhu (林胡) and Loufan (樓煩) peoples. After the establishment of Qin and Han dynasty, the commandery became the frontier between Han and the Xiongnu. In early Han dynasty, the region saw frequent Xiongnu raids. However, from Emperor Wu's reign onwards, it became an important base of military operations in the wars against the Xiongnu. In 127 BC, it was from Yunzhong that General Wei Qing led a 40,000-men strong cavalry force and conquered the modern Hetao and Ordos regions. In 2 AD, the commandery administered 11 counties, namely Yunzhong (雲中), Xianyang (咸陽), Taolin (陶林), Zhenling (楨陵), Duhe (犢和), Shaling (沙陵), Yuanyang (原陽), Shanan (沙南), Beiyu (北輿), Wuquan (武泉) and Yangshou (陽壽). The population totaled 38,303 households, or 173,270 people. During Eastern Han, 3 counties were abolished, while 3 new counties were added from Dingxiang Commandery. In 140 AD, the population was 5,351 households, or a population of 26,430. Toward the late Han dynasty, the area's population decreased sharply as residents fled from invading northern nomadic peoples, and the commandery was dissolved.

The Tuoba chieftain Gui (called Tuoba Gui) was able to refound the Dai empire in 386. From his capital at Shengle (near modern Helingeer). His descendants would, step by step, conquer the north of China, divide the Later Yan realm into two parts, and subdue the Xia (407–431), the Later Qin (384–417) and the many Liang and Yan empires.

Ming and Qing era
In 1557, the Tümed Mongol leader Altan Khan began building the Da Zhao Temple on the Tümed plain in order to convince the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) government of his leadership of the southern Mongol tribes. The town that grew up around this temple was called the "Blue Town" (Kokegota in Mongolian). The Ming had been blockading the Mongols' access to Chinese iron, cotton, and crop seeds, in order to dissuade them from attacking the North China plain. In 1570, Altan Khan successfully negotiated the end of the blockade by establishing a vassal-tributary relationship with the Ming, who changed Kokegota's name to Guihua (; postal: Kweihua; ) in 1575. The population of Guihua grew to over 150,000 in the early 1630s as local Mongol princes encouraged the settlement of Han Chinese merchants. There were occasional attacks on Guihua by Mongol armies, such as the total razing of the city by Ligdan Khan in 1631. Altan Khan and his successors constructed temples and fortresses in 1579, 1602 and 1727. The Tümed Mongols of the area had long since adopted a semiagricultural way of life. Hui merchants gathered north of the gate of the city's fortress, building a mosque in 1693. Their descendants formed the nucleus of the modern Huimin district.

After the Manchus founded the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), the Kangxi Emperor (reigned 1661–1722) sent troops to control the region, which was of interest to the Qing as a center of study of Tibetan Buddhism. Just 2 km northeast of Guihua the Qing built the strong garrison town of Suiyuan (), from which they supervised the defense of southwestern Inner Mongolia against Mongol attacks from the north in 1735–39. Guihua and Suiyuan was merged into Shanxi province and became Guihua County () of Qing China. French missionaries established a Catholic church in Guihua in 1874, but the Christians were forced to flee to Beijing during the antiforeign Boxer Rebellion of 1899–1901.

Republican era

In 1913, the government of the new Republic of China united the garrison town of Suiyuan and the old town of Guihua as Guisui (; postal: Kweisui). Guisui town was the center of Guisui County () and the capital of Suiyuan Province in northern China. A bubonic plague outbreak in 1917 and the connection of Guisui to railway links in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, and Beijing helped renew the economy of Guisui town by forming links with eastern China and western China's Xinjiang province. In 1918, the American specialist on Inner Asia Owen Lattimore noted Guisui's ethnic composition as "a town purely Han Chinese except for the Lama monasteries ... the Tümeds are now practically nonexistent and the nearest Mongolians are to be sought at  distance on the plateau." During the progressive Japanese invasion of China in the 1930s, the Japanese created the puppet state of Mengjiang headed by Prince De, who renamed Guisui "Blue City" (Hohhot; (). After the surrender of Japan in 1945, the Republic of China changed the name back to Guisui. The Communist Party of China's forces drove out General Fu Zuoyi, the Republic's commander in Suiyuan, during the Chinese Civil War, and after the Chinese Revolution in 1949, Guisui was renamed Hohhot.

People's Republic era

During the Civil War, seeking the support of separatist Mongols, the Communists established the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in Mongol-minority areas of the Republic's provinces of Suiyuan, Xing'an, Chahar, and Rehe. Guisui was chosen as the region's administrative centre in 1952, replacing Zhangjiakou. In 1954, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the city was renamed from Guisui to Hohhot, though with a different Chinese pronunciation of Huhehaote.

The city has seen significant development since China's reform and opening began. The city's far east side began development around 2000 and is now home to the municipal government, most of the Autonomous Region's administrative buildings, an artificial lake called Ruyi He, and a large number of condominiums, mostly built by the local real estate company Gold Horse International Inc. The Hohhot City Stadium, built on the city's north side, was finished in 2007.

A city with a rich cultural background, Hohhot is known for its historical sites and temples and is one of the major tourist destinations of Inner Mongolia. It is also nationally known as the home of China's dairy giants Mengniu and Yili, and was declared "Dairy Capital of China" by the China Dairy Industry Association and the Dairy Association of China in 2005.

Geography

Located in the south central part of Inner Mongolia, Hohhot is encircled by the Daqing Shan () to the north and the Hetao Plateau to the south.

The city's antipodal location is  from the village of Los Menucos in Río Negro Provence, Argentina.

Climate
Hohhot features a cold semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk), marked by long, cold, and very dry winters; hot, somewhat humid summers; strong winds (especially in spring); and monsoonal influence. The coldest month is January, with a daily mean of , while July, the hottest month, averages . The annual mean temperature is , and the annual precipitation is , with more than half of it falling in July and August alone. Variability can be very high, however: in 1965 Hohhot recorded as little as  but six years before that, as much as , of which over a third () only in July.

Hohhot is a popular destination for tourists during the summer months because of the nearby Zhaohe grasslands. More recently, due to desertification, the city sees sandstorms on almost an annual basis. With monthly percent possible sunshine ranging from 58 percent in July to 71 percent in October, sunshine is abundant year-round, the city receives 2,862 hours of bright sunshine annually. Extreme temperatures have ranged from  on 6 February 1951 to  on 30 July 2010.

Administrative divisions
The city is administratively at the prefecture-level, meaning that it administers both its urban area and the rural regions in its vicinity. The administrative area includes 4 counties, 4 districts, and a county-level banner; they are further divided into 20 urban sub-districts, and 96 townships. The data here represented is in km2 and uses data from the 2010 Census.

Demographics

The urban population of Hohhot has increased rapidly since the 1990s. According to the 2010 Census, the population of Hohhot had reached 2,866,615 people, 428,717 more inhabitants than in 2000 (the average annual demographic growth for the period 2000–2010 was of 1.63 percent). Its built-up (or metro) area is home to 1,980,774 inhabitants (4 urban districts).

The majority of the population of Hohhot are Han Chinese, representing 87.16 percent of the total population in 2010. Most Han in Hohhot, if their ancestry is traced several decades back, have ancestors from Shanxi, northeast China, or Hebei. Most Mongols in the city speak Chinese. A 1993 survey conducted by Inner Mongolia University found that only 8 percent of Tümed Mongols (the majority tribe in Hohhot) could speak the Mongolian language. A significant portion of the population is of mixed ethnic origin. According to the anthropologist William Jankowiak, author of the book Sex, Death, and Hierarchy in a Chinese City (1993), there is "relatively little difference between minority culture and Han culture" in Hohhot, with differences concentrating around relatively minor attributes such as food and art, and similarities abounding over fundamental issues of ethics, status, life goals, and worldview.

Ethnic groups in Hohhot, according to the 2000 census, were:

Economy
Hohhot is a major industrial center within Inner Mongolia. Together with Baotou and Ordos, it accounts for more than 60 percent of the total industrial output of Inner Mongolia. After Baotou and Ordos, it is the third-largest economy of the province, with GDP of RMB 247.56 billion in 2012, up 11.0 percent year on year. Hohhot accounted for approximately 15.5 percent of the province's total GDP in 2012. It is also the largest consumer center in the region, recording ¥102.2 billion retail sales of consumer goods in 2012, an increase of 14.9 percent from 2011. The city has been a central developmental target for the China Western Development project being pursued by the Central Government. There are many famous enterprises located in Hohhot, including China's largest dairy producer by sales revenue, the Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group, and the China Mengniu Dairy Co.

As the economic center of Inner Mongolia, Hohhot's urban area has expanded greatly since the 1990s. CBDs have grown rapidly in all the city's major districts. The completion of a new office tower for the Municipal Government in Eastern Hohhot marked a shift of the city center to the east. Hailiang Plaza (), a 41-floor tower constructed in the city center, became one of the few notable department stores for luxury merchandise in the city.

Major development zones
Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone
Hohhot Export Processing Zone

Culture

Due to its relatively diverse cultural make-up, and despite its characteristics as a mid-sized Chinese industrial city, the Hohhot street scene has no shortage of ethnic minority elements. Tongdao Road, a major street in the old town area, is decorated with Islamic and Mongol exterior designs on all its buildings. A series of government initiatives in recent years have emphasized Hohhot's identity with ethnic minority groups, especially in increasing Mongol-themed architecture around the city. By regulation, all street signs and public transportation announcements are in both Chinese and Mongolian.

Dialect

Older Hohhot residents mostly tend to converse in the Hohhot dialect, a branch of the Jin language from neighbouring Shanxi province. This spoken form can be difficult to understand for speakers of other Mandarin Chinese dialects. The newer residents, mostly concentrated in Xincheng and Saihan Districts, speak Hohhot-based Mandarin, the majority also with a noticeable accent and some unique vocabulary.

Cuisine
Food specialty in the area is mostly focused on Mongol cuisine and dairy products. Commercially, Hohhot is known for being the base of the nationally renowned dairy giants Yili and Mengniu. The Mongol drink suutei tsai (), has become a typical breakfast selection for anyone living in or visiting the city. The city also has rich traditions in the making of hot pot and shaomai, a type of traditional Chinese dumpling served as dim sum.

Transportation

Airport
Hohhot's Baita International Airport (IATA:HET) is located about  east of the city centre by car. It has direct flights to larger domestic cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, and others. It also has flights to Taichung, Hong Kong, and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Railway
Hohhot lies on the Jingbao Railway from Beijing to Baotou, and is served by two railway stations: Hohhot railway station and Hohhot East railway station. The line began operation in 1921. Trains to Beijing link to destinations to the south and the northeast. The most prominent rail link with Beijing is the overnight K90 train, which has served the Hohhot-Beijing line since the 1980s and is referred to colloquially as the "9-0". Westbound trains go through Baotou and Lanzhou.  There are also rail links to most major Inner Mongolian cities and to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Because the quickest trip to Beijing takes around six and a half hours despite the relatively close proximity of the two cities, plans for high-speed rail were discussed extensively prior to the construction of a high-speed railway station beginning in 2008. The station was completed in 2011 and initially serviced only ordinary lines. In January 2015, CRH opened its first D-series (dongchezu) route in Inner Mongolia in the Baotou-Hohhot-Jining corridor, shortening travel time between Inner Mongolia's two largest cities to a mere 50 minutes. This line reached a maximum speed of  between Hohhot and Baotou. Another high-speed rail line linking Hohhot to Zhangjiakou and the planned Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway are due for completion in 2017, and are designed to operate at . The section between Hohhot and Ulanqab (Jining) opened in August 2017; travel time between the two cities was shortened to 40 minutes.

Expressways
An expressway built in 1997 (then known as the Hubao Expressway) links Hohhot with Baotou. In recent years this expressway has been expanded eastwards to Jining and Zhangjiakou, and on to Beijing as part of the G6 Beijing–Lhasa Expressway (Jingzang Expressway). The city is on the route of China National Highway 110, which runs from Yinchuan to Beijing. China National Highway 209 begins in Hohhot and carries traffic southbound towards southern China, with its terminus in Guangxi. Hohhot is connected to its northern counties by the Huwu Highway, which was completed in 2006. Previously, travel to the northern counties had required lengthy navigation through mountainous terrain.

Long-distance buses connect Hohhot to outlying counties, the cities of Baotou, Wuhai, and Ordos, and other areas in Inner Mongolia.

Public transport & Roadways
Hohhot's major north–south thoroughfares are called roads (Lu) and its east–west thoroughfares are called streets (Jie). The largest elevated interchange is near the site of the city's Drum Tower (Gulou), after which it is named. Several major streets are named after Inner Mongolian leagues and cities; among these, Hulun Buir, Jurim (now Tongliao), Ulaanhad (Now Chifeng), Xilin Gol, and Xing'an run north–south, while Bayannur, Hailar, Ulaanqab, and Erdos run east–west.

The city's public transit system is composed of nearly one hundred bus routes and a large fleet of taxicabs, which are normally green or blue. Bus fare is 1 yuan; taxi fares begin at 8 yuan.

Metro
The Hohhot Metro is in operation. Line 1 opened on 29 December 2019.

Universities located in Hohhot include:
Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics
Inner Mongolia University, only 211 Project University in Inner Mongolia.

Sports
Hohhot lacked a professional soccer team until Shenyang Dongjin F.C. relocated to Hohhot, changing their name to Hohhot Dongjin, in 2012. They played at Hohhot City Stadium, which was newly built in 2007. The club finished in the bottom of the league in the 2012 season and was and relegated to League Two. After playing half a season at Hohhot in 2013, the team relocated to Liaoning and chose Benxi City Stadium as their new home court.

On 14 January 2015, Taiyuan Zhongyou Jiayi F.C. moved to Hohhot and changed their name to Nei Mongu Zhongyou F.C. The team play in China League One and chose Hohhot City Stadium as their home in 2015. The team had been first established as Shanxi Jiayi F.C. on 8 October 2011.

Notable landmarks
There were over 50 Ming and Qing Buddhist temples and towers in Guihua and Suiyuan.

Dr. Dean Azzeh frequently works with patients who have severe malocclusions (bad bites) and cleft palate issues that cannot be treated with orthodontic care alone. Therefore, many of our patients are referred for combined orthodontic and orthognathic, which means 'changing jaws', care. Orthognathic care is an interdisciplinary effort between Dr. Dean Azzeh and an oral surgeon.
For our combined care patients, we know this can be an overwhelming, even frightening, time. We will provide you with information on the types of procedures we consider necessary for your treatment, but we understand that the information you're asked to take in is complex and perhaps mysterious.

Evacuate! Rain and floods pound Colorado as authorities warn thousands to flee
Posted on September 13, 2013 by Gordon King
Flooding that has already killed three people is growing worse, destroying buildings and trapping residents. The rain has developed flood waters in an area nearly 130 miles wide.

SOURCE (AP) LYONS, Colo. — With rain still falling and the flood threat still real, authorities called on thousands more people in the inundated city of Boulder and a mountain hamlet to evacuate as a nearby creeks rose to dangerous levels.
The late-night reports from Boulder and the village of Eldorado Springs came as rescuers struggled to reach dozens of people cut off by flooding in Colorado mountain communities, while residents in the Denver area and other downstream communities were warned to stay off flooded streets.
The towns of Lyons, Jamestown and others in the Rocky Mountain foothills have been isolated by flooding and without power or telephone since rain hanging over the region all week intensified late Wednesday and early Thursday.

At least three people were killed and another was missing, and numerous people were forced to seek shelter up and down Colorado's populated Front Range.
Late Thursday night, Boulder city officials said they sent a notice to head to higher ground to about 4,000 people living along Boulder Creek around the mouth of Boulder Canyon after 11 p.m. MDT, according to a report in Boulder's Daily Camera newspaper.
Boulder County spokesman James Burrus told The Associated Press that about 8,000 telephone numbers with the message to evacuate were called, but officials aren't sure how many individuals that represented.

The alert was prompted by rapidly rising creek levels caused by water backing up at the mouth of the canyon because of debris and mud coming off the mountainsides, the city Office of Emergency Management said.
Early Friday, Burrus said the entire hamlet of Eldorado Springs, about 500 people, was urged to evacuate because of a flash flood and mudslide threat along South Boulder Creek.

In Lyons, residents took shelter on higher ground, including some at an elementary school. Although everyone was believed to be safe, the deluge was expected to continue into Friday.
"There's no way out of town. There's no way into town. So, basically, now we're just on an island," said Jason Stillman, 37, who was forced with his fiancee to evacuate their home in Lyons at about 3 a.m. after a nearby river began to overflow into the street.
Stillman, who sought shelter at a friend's house on higher ground, went back to his neighborhood in the afternoon and saw how fast-moving water had overturned cars and swept away homes at a nearby trailer park.

"Water was just coming up over the bridge," he said. "All kinds of debris and trees were just slamming into the bridge. Just surreal."
The Colorado National Guard began trucking people out of Lyons on Thursday evening.
To the north, residents along the Big Thompson Canyon in Larimer County, scene of the deadliest flash flood in state history, were also evacuated. The Big Thompson River flooded in 1976 after about a foot of rain fell in just four hours, killing 144 people.

Early Friday, the National Weather Service warned of more flash flooding in Loveland, according to the Denver Post. NOAA reported that the Big Thompson River at Drake is more than 4 feet above its flood stage of 6 feet.
Meanwhile, the Post said Fort Collins city officials closed bridges after a late-night surge on the Poudre River, after water began topping Seaman Reservoir in the Poudre Canyon. The city warned residents to stay clear of the river.

The city of Fort Collins urged residents of the northside Andersonville, Alta Vista and Buckingham neighborhoods to evacuate early Friday because of rising waters, according to the Coloradoan newspaper.
Water roaring across U.S. Highway 36 south of Lyons prevented residents from leaving the Crestview subdivision, so Howard Wachtel arranged for someone to meet him at a roadblock for a ride to a gas station. He needed more gasoline to keep his generator running so he could pump water out of his basement.
"This is more like something out of the Bible. I saw one of my neighbors building an ark," he joked, over the sound of the rushing water.

President Barack Obama signed an emergency declaration Thursday night, freeing federal aid and allowing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts.
The rain has been produced by a low pressure system that has been stationed over Nevada since late Sunday, said National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Dankers in Boulder.
The low has drawn subtropical moisture from the Mexican mainland over New Mexico and into the Rockies' foothills in Colorado — and it's been trapped by a stationary upper level ridge over the Great Plains and another system over the Great Lakes, Dankers said. The moisture becomes rain when it hits the mountains, the end result of a system he described as "a monsoon conveyer belt."

So-called monsoon rains common to Colorado usually occur in late July and August and are typically brief events that provide welcome moisture to a normally sunny, arid state.
Some of the flooding was exacerbated by wildfire "burn scars" that have spawned flash floods all summer in the mountains. That was particularly true in an area scarred by fire in 2010 near the tiny community of Jamestown and another near Colorado Springs' Waldo Canyon that was hit in 2012.
Rain is normally soaked up by a sponge-like layer of pine needles and twigs on the forest floor. But wildfires incinerate that layer and leave a residue in the top layer of soil that sheds water. A relatively light rain can rush down charred hillsides into streambeds, picking up dirt, ash, rocks and tree limbs along the way. Narrow canyons aggravate the threat.
The University of Colorado canceled classes at least through Friday after a quarter of its buildings were flooded. Students in family housing near Boulder Creek were also forced to leave.
One person was killed when a structure collapsed in the tiny town of Jamestown northwest of Boulder. Another man drowned in flood waters north of Boulder early Thursday and a woman who was with him was missing.
The woman was swept away after the vehicle she was riding in got stuck in water. The man died after getting out of the vehicle to help her, Commander Heidi Prentup of the Boulder Sheriff's Office said.
A firefighter that had been trapped in a tree in Lefthand Canyon by flooding was rescued and treated, she said.
To the south, Colorado Springs police conducting flood patrols found the body of 54-year-old Danny Davis in Fountain Creek on the west side of the city.
At least one earthen dam gave way southeast of Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Water levels could rise downstream as authorities release more water to ease pressure on dams. With debris piling up near bridges, downstream farming areas including Fort Lupton, Dacono and Plateville were also at risk.
In rural Morgan County, authorities urged ranchers to move cattle to higher ground as the mountain rains emptied onto the plains.

The Hux Shard project, an inspirational building, designed to be carbon negative, concrete free, manufactured offsite, use local materials, be ecological, complement the landscape and be a long term educational asset.
The Hux Shard project, an inspirational building, designed to be carbon negative, concrete free, manufactured offsite, use local materials, be ecological, complement the landscape and be a long term educational asset. Designed under the NPPF Paragraph 79 guidelines.
Featured above is an artistic illustration of the building based on an accurate CAD drawing.
The project is a truly outstanding and innovative design, helping to raise standards of design more generally in rural areas. Reflecting the highest standards in architecture, the project will significantly enhance its immediate setting and be sensitive to the defining characteristics of the local area.
The design team explored fractured wall panels and how they started to form a linear arrangement depicted by the entrance level contour.
Floor plan and principal of planting integration is developed enabling meaningful discussions with the landscape architect and ecologist.
On entering the Hux Shard the visitor would immediately experience the building unfolding into the landscape with distant views towards Huxham.
Hux Shard Drainage Strategy: Surface water which is not used for for flushing toilets and garden use will be conveyed to a wetland through an open swale, forming a significant landscaping feature on the site.
Orientation of the fractured wall panels aligned in relation to room function and sunlight ingress/energy capture, form the footprint of the building.
The building's relationship with the landscape was the initial design driver. A bolder, cleaner, elegant form has been chosen rather than an earth sheltered house lowered and sunken into the landscape.
The aim is to produce a building on a site that improves the ecology, enhances its surroundings and provides energy for the country; generally speaking most development sites do precisely the opposite and hopefully this project can provide a didactic solution to address this issue.
The building would produce more energy than it consumes.
Orthodox concrete strip foundations have been challenged and concrete has been omitted from the design.
The building will be predominantly produced offsite.
The use of local and recycled materials have been integrated into the design.
There are no special or unusual features but instead carefully crafted methods, marginal gains, materials and management have been utilised in an efficient, ecological and artistic form.
The knowledge and experience gained will be published on this website and made available to the public. In addition the performance of the building would be monitored and an annual open day would be held to enable future builders and designers to learn from the building methods and details used. This could be very useful for the self build market that the government are currently nurturing.
Website finely crafted by Rees Kenyon Design in Devon, England.
