December 19, 20201710 Views

In Philadelphia, every wall is a potential blank canvas, and stunning murals adorn building exteriors and walls all over. The Countryside of Philadelphia is a necessary stopping point when discovering Pennsylvania’s art – between the famed Wyeth family and the number of various museums, galleries, and studios in the area, Countryside of Philadelphia is a vibrant art hotspot. The creative urges here are strong, and over the past few years artists and members of the county have begun to think outside of the frame, literally. City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX was set to launch a prototype of its Mars rocket Starship in its highest-altitude “hop” test from the space company’s Texas facilities on Tuesday, a key trial for a rocket system that Musk hopes will land humans on the moon and eventually Mars. Musk sought to tamp down expectations for Starship’s first suborbital flight using three of its new Raptor rocket engines, predicting a 30% chance of success in reaching an altitude of more than 40,000 feet. That would be vastly higher than the vehicle’s first two tests at altitudes of 500 feet.

For almost two decades the first week of December in Miami has been synonymous with artists, art fairs, champagne-soaked parties, pop up installations, an explosion of new graffiti, and traffic gridlock. But the Florida city looks far different this year. After the coronavirus pandemic forced Art Basel Miami Beach to announce in September that it was canceling this year’s fair, the galaxy of satellite fairs around the city followed suit. Art Basel is typically one of the busiest times for Miami, and the jolt could not have come at a worse time for this tourism-and-hospitality driven city hit hard by COVID-19.

ये बग्गी हमारी बग्गी जैसी नहीं है। टुंड्रा बग्गी पहियों पर ऐसी जगहों की सैर कराती है जहां जाने का कोई सड़क मार्ग नहीं। टुंड्रा बग्गी दुनिया की उन अजग-गजब चीजों में से है जो सैलानियों को लुभाती है। हम बात कर रहे हैं कनाडा के मनितोबा में हडसन खाड़ी के मुहाने पर स्थित चर्चिल की। इसे दुनिया की पोलर बीयर (ध्रुवीय भालू) राजधानी कहा जाता है। 2006 में चर्चिल शहर की आबादी महज 923 थी। लेकिन इस शहर में ट्रेन जाती है, यहां बंदरगाह है और रोजाना उड़ानें। नहीं है तो बस बाकी कनाडा के लिए कोई सड़क नहीं है। चर्चिल में तीन इकोसिस्टम आकर मिलते हैं- उत्तर में हडसन खाड़ी, उत्तर-पश्चिम में आर्टिक टुंड्रा और दक्षिण में घने जंगल। यह इलाका मई से अगस्त तक पक्षियों को देखने के लिए, जुलाई से अगस्त की गर्मियों में बेलुगा व्हेल मछलियों को देखने के लिए और अक्टूबर-नवंबर में पोलर बीयर देखने के लिए खासा लोकप्रिय है। टुं...

Chef Emily Wells was unsure what to expect as she opened the doors of her seasonal restaurant in rural Prince Edward Island the same day Canada’s four Atlantic provinces bubbled together, allowing travel between them while keeping their borders restricted to everyone else. The result was far better than she could have imagined. “It was a remarkable summer, I was floored by it,” Wells said. “The bubble made all the difference. It certainly worked for us.” The border restrictions along with tough public health measures helped the east coast provinces, which have a combined population of 2.4 million, tamp down COVID-19 early on and largely keep the virus at bay even as the rest of the country entered a second wave of infections.
