The iconic Hollywood Sign remains unaffected by the recent Los Angeles wildfires. While the Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills prompted evacuation orders, the sign itself was not damaged. WIKIPEDIA
It's important to note that AI-generated images falsely depicting the Hollywood Sign engulfed in flames have circulated online, causing confusion. These images are fabricated; the landmark has not been impacted by the fires. REUTERS
In summary, despite nearby wildfires and misleading online images, the Hollywood Sign remains intact and undamaged.
It’s more than just nine white letters spelling out a city’s name; it’s one of the world’s most evocative symbols – a universal metaphor for ambition, success, glamour.

The New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a memorial located in New York City that honors the men and women who served in the Vietnam War. The memorial features a series of excerpts etched into the walls of the memorial. These excerpts were chosen from letters, diary entries, and poems written by Americans during the Vietnam Era and were submitted to the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission. These quotes are supplemented by news dispatches and public statements about the war.
The excerpts were chosen to provide a diverse representation of the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of those who served during the Vietnam War. They reflect the range of emotions felt by soldiers and their families, from the pride and patriotism of those who served, to the pain and sorrow of those who lost loved ones in the conflict. The Memorial serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the veterans of the Vietnam War and their families. The location of the Memorial is significant as it is located one block east of Fraunces Tavern, where George Washington bade farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolutionary War. This location is symbolic of the connection between the sacrifice made by veterans of the Revolutionary War and the sacrifice made by veterans of the Vietnam War. It is a reminder that the sacrifices made by American veterans are not limited to a single war, but are an ongoing part of American history. |

Por terem constituído, durante longo tempo, as únicas vias autorizadas de acesso à região das reservas auríferas e diamantíferas da capitania das Minas Gerais, os caminhos reais adquiriram, já a partir da sua abertura, natureza oficial. A circulação de pessoas, mercadorias, ouro e diamante era obrigatoriamente feita por eles, constituindo crime de lesa-majestade a abertura de novos caminhos. O interesse fiscal, base da política metropolitana para a região mineradora da colônia, prevalecia sobre qualquer outro: cumpria, antes de tudo, ter as rotas de comunicação com as minas devidamente controladas e fiscalizadas, para que nelas se pudesse extrair uma massa cada vez maior de tributos para o tesouro real. O nome Estrada Real passou a aludir, assim, àquelas vias que, pela sua antiguidade, importância e natureza oficial, eram propriedade da Coroa metropolitana. Durante todo o século XVIII, e também em parte do XIX, quando a era mineradora já se fora e os caminhos se tornaram livres e empobrecidos, as estradas reais foram os troncos viários principais do centro-sul do território colonial.

Known for being the first house museum on Staten Island, this New York City museum is rich in history on many levels. Its name lies in honor for the peace conference of 1776, a commemoration. Constructed circa 1680 by Captain Christopher Billopp, this 2 story rubble-stone masonry masterpiece has been restored over the years, as needed for structural integrity. Its steep gable roof gives the essence of the period. By 1934, much work had been completed including the Colonial Rose Garden and planting 13 trees to represent the original colonies. House tours are offered Friday-Sunday at 1 pm. In the midst of a collection of artifacts from the era, it is almost like stepping back to the time when our great country was still forming. The beauty and serenity overpower you while walking the grounds. Spring and summer bring the vivid colors of the trees to life. Why not stop for a minute to quite literally “smell the roses”? When the sun is descending, gaze over to the waterfront to enjoy the unparalleled sunset that exudes tangerine hues amid a backdrop of amber with scattered tones of violet entice you to just stand in awe of the beauty that is happening right before your eyes.

Nasceu de uma idéia no ano de 1994, de duas irmãs que tinham como objetivo principal proporcionar à criança urbana um contato com a vida rural, resgatando, de uma maneira lúdica, a infância perdida de quem vive nos grandes centros. Animais de porte pequeno e médio, bem próximos de se habitat natural, fazem a alegria da criançada. A Fazendinha recebe até visita de índios de verdade. Jogos e pinturas são ingredientes importantes do passeio. Programa imperdível.
