Precisely because the dance floor stands apart from the everyday world, allowing dancers to play, experiment, and take on new roles, it also serves as a stage for human behavior. Antoinette Benevento, a former national ballroom dancing champion and co-owner of Fred Astaire Dance Studios, has been a student of that stage for 25 years. She has discovered that getting out on the dance floor is a powerful and empowering metaphor for living fully in all realms of life.

Frederick Albert Cook (June 10, 1865 - August 5, 1940) was an American explorer and physician noted for his claims of achieving the first summit of Mount McKinley, in September 1906, and having reached the North Pole on April 21, 1908, which would have been a year before Robert Peary. Both claims have been largely discredited. Later, Dr. Cook was a founding member of the Arctic Club and Explorers Club.

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novel. As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the book's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions. In a foreword to one of the many publications of the book, noted science fiction author Isaac Asimov described Flatland as “The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions.”

The Cockney Novelists flourished towards the end of the 19th century and spilled over into the next. They included Arthur Morrison, Edwin Pugh, William Pett Ridge and Clarence Rook. Authors being authors, they, of course, dealt with their subject matter in different ways. As a group they moved away from treating the London working classes as comedy cameos or social stereotypes.

Insulting the president is an American tradition. From Washington to Trump, presidents have been called "lazy," "feeble," "pusillanimous," and more. Our leaders have been derided as "ignoramuses," "idiots," "morons," and "fatheads," and have been compared to all manner of animals - worms and whales and hyenas, sad jellyfish, strutting crows, lap dogs, reptiles, and monkeys. Political insults tell us what we value in our leaders by showing how we devalue them. In Dangerous Crooked Scoundrels, linguist Edwin Battistella collects over 500 insults aimed at American presidents.

Kate. Verlass die Erde und zieh nach New Terran, haben sie gesagt. Das wird lustig, haben sie gesagt. Allerdings finde ich es überhaupt nicht lustig, entführt und auf einem merkwürdigen Alien-Marktplatz zum Kauf angeboten zu werden. Und noch weniger lustig wird es, als ich von einem Kerl gekauft werde, der versucht, mir ein lebendiges Abendessen zu servieren. Es ist so lebendig, dass es auf meinem Teller herumkriecht.

Eigentlich wollte ich Weihnachten in Ruhe mit meinen besten Freundinnen in einer Hütte feiern, die wir über die Feiertage gemietet haben - mitten in der verschneiten Wildnis von Colorado. Doch stattdessen schaffe ich es, kopfüber einen Berg hinunterzustürzen und vor dem Weihnachtsmann zu landen. Kurz bin ich mir sicher, den Verstand verloren zu haben, denn mir ist durchaus klar, dass es den Weihnachtsmann nicht gibt. Was es allerdings ganz eindeutig gibt, sind riesige Aliens mit roter Haut und schneeweißen Haaren. Da wird man sich auf den ersten Blick ja wohl irren dürfen.
