The town of Nördlingen, Germany, was
built inside an old crater from a meteor
that once crashed into the countryside.
Residents have incorporated parts of

The owner of the club had decided to give away different flavors of lollipops on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, in order to keep interest high.

“The people leaving the club are calmer, and there has been a reduction in the fights and the general noise from that particular club,” he said.

WWII militaries used inflatable armies to trick their enemies. Decoys like dummy tanks, straw planes, and fake roads and bridges that were built out of canvas, burlap, and inflated rubber looked just like the real thing from far away. Artists, filmmakers, scientists, and sculptors were asked to design the fake armies, which foiled many attackers and saved the lives of thousands of soldiers. Source Source 2

VULTURE IS GOING THERE

“Having a daughter shouldn’t be a requirement for internalizing the problems of working within a sexist industry. Your wives gave birth to a baby girl, not a moral compass. (For what it’s worth, George Clooney, a new dad, managed to talk to the Daily Beast for a whole interview without mentioning his infant twins, one of whom is a girl.) Peppering statements about how shocked and appalled you are with a mention of your daughter just makes you look clueless. Because here’s the thing: Only a sociopath needs a daughter — or a sister, a girlfriend, a wife, or even just a lady standing in front of him at Starbucks — to make him queasy enough at the thought of a sexual predator in his industry to do something about it. You don’t need a daughter to feel guilty about working with a man who preys on young women, or about not acting to stop him. You just need a conscience.”

At CrossBones Graveyard, the unconsecrated mass burial ground for sex workers, the poor, and those who took their own lives is now marked by a beautiful garden and lovingly tended to by caretakers who see it as a sacred space. There are also clergy who do regular services of remembrance, regret, and reconciliation to apologize for the wrongs of the church and to honor the dead. There are no headstones here but there are flowers and bees and healing herbs and pilgrims who come from all over to pay their respects to the outcast dead of London.
