Nice views, big lots, big homes. Where the money resides in Franklin County, VA. But then they have to drive forty miles or more to their high paying jobs in Roanoke, on a highway known for its tractor-trailer rig wrecks. So much for living in the country.
This first Egyptian pyramid consisted of six mastabas (of decreasing size) built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and developments of the original plan. The pyramid originally stood 62 metres (203 ft) tall, with a base of 109 × 125 m (358 × 410 ft) and was clad in polished white limestone.[2] The step pyramid (or proto-pyramid) is considered to be the earliest large-scale cut stone construction,[3] although the nearby enclosure known as Gisr el-mudir would seem to predate the complex.
Our driver brought us to Saqqara, a large necropolis next to the ancient Memphis. It was late, the site was long closed by then, but the driver again knew a solution and the guards let us in (for some bakshish). We walked around, saw the ruins, and even climbed on the top of the step pyramid when the guards did not pay attention.
Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including the world famous Step pyramid of Djoser, sometimes referred to as the Step Tomb due to its rectangular base, as well as a number of mastabas.
We took a taxi in front of the museum on our first day in Egypt, and from there on we rode with him the whole day. He was a nice man but it also cost us more than we had planned, he took us to places that we asked for and others that he suggested, not to mention that he also took us to places where he had a kickback from. Altogether it was a memorable day, we saw more from the real life of the local people than we would have otherwise (with an organized tour or independently).
Dzsószer fárai lépcsős piramisa - állítólag a világ legrégebbi kő épülete.
Szakkarába taxisofőrünk hozott el, már jócskán zárási idő után - de itt is ismert egy egyiptomi megoldást, és az őröknek 20 fontot fizetve bejutottunk, körülnéztünk, sőt, amikor nem figyeltek, még a lépcsős piramist is megmásztuk a naplementében...
Szakkara Kairótól 30 km-re fekszik. Itt található az ókori Egyiptom egyik fővárosának, Memphisznek legősibb temetője, 7 km hosszú nekropolisza.
Első napunkon Egyiptomban a múzeum előtt felszedett minket egy taxis, aki azután egész nap hurcolt bennünket az általunk kért és általa javasolt helyekre, igazán kedves volt, de nem mellesleg viszonylag sokba is került nekünk (a költségvetésünkhöz képest) - nem beszélve arról, hogy olyan helykre vitt, ahonnan jutalékot kapott... Máskülönben nagy élmény volt ez a nap Kairóban, olyan közvetlen tapasztalatokra tettünk szert, melyeket egy szervezett vagy akár önálló látogatás során kihagytunk volna.

The demolishon and rebuilding and simaltaneous construction of the Mas'aa Corridors of the Holy Mosque in Makkah.
The ground and first floors of the current Mas'aa are sealed, the windows, doorways and exits are concreted. If I had seen what was going on on the outside, I would have had second thoughts about going inside this section of the Holy Mosque. I saw the massive construction work upon leaving the Holy Mosque.

This is a personal project to experiment with rebranding a global company.
Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. has been the world's largest information technology company by revenues since 2009. They have long been a major manufacturer of electronic components such as lithium-ion batteries, semiconductors, chips, flash memory and hard drive devices for clients such as Apple, Sony, HTC and Nokia. In recent years, the company has diversified into consumer electronics and is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones.
I have deigned Samsung's new logo to move their branding into the new 'wireless' age of technology. Many branches of their traditional product portfolio rely on internet/WiFi connections (i.e. computers and smart phones). However, as we move forward, other household goods are becoming more intelligent and reliant on WiFi technology. This results in the strengthening human's relationship with the wireless world.
The new logo softens the typeface and a symbol has been added to increase branding versatility. The symbol can be used with typography or autonomously. The merged 'U' and 'N' introduces a unique appearance to formal sans serif type

US is becoming a 'developing country' on global rankings that measure democracy, inequality
The United States may regard itself as a “leader of the free world,” but an index of development released in July 2022 places the country much farther down the list.
In its global rankings, the United Nations Office of Sustainable Development dropped the U.S. to 41st worldwide, down from its previous ranking of 32nd. Under this methodology – an expansive model of 17 categories, or “goals,” many of them focused on the environment and equity – the U.S. ranks between Cuba and Bulgaria. Both are widely regarded as developing countries.
The U.S. is also now considered a “flawed democracy,” according to The Economist’s democracy index.
As a political historian who studies U.S. institutional development, I recognize these dismal ratings as the inevitable result of two problems. Racism has cheated many Americans out of the health care, education, economic security and environment they deserve. At the same time, as threats to democracy become more serious, a devotion to “American exceptionalism” keeps the country from candid appraisals and course corrections.
‘The other America’
The Office of Sustainable Development’s rankings differ from more traditional development measures in that they are more focused on the experiences of ordinary people, including their ability to enjoy clean air and water, than the creation of wealth.
So while the gigantic size of the American economy counts in its scoring, so too does unequal access to the wealth it produces. When judged by accepted measures like the Gini coefficient, income inequality in the U.S. has risen markedly over the past 30 years. By the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s measurement, the U.S. has the biggest wealth gap among G-7 nations.
These results reflect structural disparities in the United States, which are most pronounced for African Americans. Such differences have persisted well beyond the demise of chattel slavery and the repeal of Jim Crow laws.
Scholar W.E.B. Du Bois first exposed this kind of structural inequality in his 1899 analysis of Black life in the urban north, “The Philadelphia Negro.” Though he noted distinctions of affluence and status within Black society, Du Bois found the lives of African Americans to be a world apart from white residents: a “city within a city.” Du Bois traced the high rates of poverty, crime and illiteracy prevalent in Philadelphia’s Black community to discrimination, divestment and residential segregation – not to Black people’s degree of ambition or talent.
More than a half-century later, with characteristic eloquence, Martin Luther King Jr. similarly decried the persistence of the “other America,” one where “the buoyancy of hope” was transformed into “the fatigue of despair.”
To illustrate his point, King referred to many of the same factors studied by Du Bois: the condition of housing and household wealth, education, social mobility and literacy rates, health outcomes and employment. On all of these metrics, Black Americans fared worse than whites. But as King noted, “Many people of various backgrounds live in this other America.”
The benchmarks of development invoked by these men also featured prominently in the 1962 book “The Other America,” by political scientist Michael Harrington, founder of a group that eventually became the Democratic Socialists of America. Harrington’s work so unsettled President John F. Kennedy that it reportedly galvanized him into formulating a “war on poverty.”
Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon Johnson, waged this metaphorical war. But poverty bound to discrete places. Rural areas and segregated neighborhoods stayed poor well beyond mid-20th-century federal efforts.
In large part that is because federal efforts during that critical time accommodated rather than confronted the forces of racism, according to my research.
Across a number of policy domains, the sustained efforts of segregationist Democrats in Congress resulted in an incomplete and patchwork system of social policy. Democrats from the South cooperated with Republicans to doom to failure efforts to achieve universal health care or unionized workforces. Rejecting proposals for strong federal intervention, they left a checkered legacy of local funding for education and public health.
Today, many years later, the effects of a welfare state tailored to racism is evident — though perhaps less visibly so — in the inadequate health policies driving a shocking decline in average American life expectancy.
Declining democracy
There are other ways to measure a country’s level of development, and on some of them the U.S. fares better.
The U.S. currently ranks 21st on the United Nations Development Program’s index, which measures fewer factors than the sustainable development index. Good results in average income per person – $64,765 – and an average 13.7 years of schooling situate the United States squarely in the developed world.
Its ranking suffers, however, on appraisals that place greater weight on political systems.
The Economist’s democracy index now groups the U.S. among “flawed democracies,” with an overall score that ranks between Estonia and Chile. It falls short of being a top-rated “full democracy” in large part because of a fractured political culture. This growing divide is most apparent in the divergent paths between “red” and “blue” states.
Although the analysts from The Economist applaud the peaceful transfer of power in the face of an insurrection intended to disrupt it, their report laments that, according to a January 2022 poll, “only 55% of Americans believe that Mr. Biden legitimately won the 2020 election, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud.”
Election denialism carries with it the threat that election officials in Republican-controlled jurisdictions will reject or alter vote tallies that do not favor the Republican Party in upcoming elections, further jeopardizing the score of the U.S. on the democracy index.
Red and blue America also differ on access to modern reproductive care for women. This hurts the U.S. gender equality rating, one aspect of the United Nations’ sustainable development index.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Republican-controlled states have enacted or proposed grossly restrictive abortion laws, to the point of endangering a woman’s health.
I believe that, when paired with structural inequalities and fractured social policy, the dwindling Republican commitment to democracy lends weight to the classification of the U.S. as a developing country.
American exceptionalism
To address the poor showing of the United States on a variety of global surveys, one must also contend with the idea of American exceptionalism, a belief in American superiority over the rest of the world.
Both political parties have long promoted this belief, at home and abroad, but “exceptionalism” receives a more formal treatment from Republicans. It was the first line of the Republican Party’s national platform of 2016 and 2020 (“we believe in American exceptionalism”). And it served as the organizing principle behind Donald Trump’s vow to restore “patriotic education” to America’s schools.
In Florida, after lobbying by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, the state board of education in July 2022 approved standards rooted in American exceptionalism while barring instruction in critical race theory, an academic framework teaching the kind of structural racism Du Bois exposed long ago.
With a tendency to proclaim excellence rather than pursue it, the peddling of American exceptionalism encourages Americans to maintain a robust sense of national achievement – despite mounting evidence to the contrary.
