I couldn't help but to laugh when I seen this cutie and wonder if the ball or
him would roll away quicker if a strong wind were to come along. :)

Americans Grow To Fit Their Environment
What started as a humorous observation got me thinking about the veracity of the statement. I thought "people are getting bigger" and "houses are getting bigger", how do they relate? In this environment of Googleified immediate access to random data, I had the opportunity to go figure that out, in my own non-scientific way. Very quickly I was able to locate the data that I required to figure out whether Americans did have the tendency to grow to fit their environment. I am not picking specifically on Americans, its just that housing is typically constrained in many other places around the world. If one were motivated, they could put a finer point on this amusement by looking at regional trends in both datasets.
I'll leave the conclusions up to you. Keep in mind that this is pure amusement and not terribly scientific any any way.
The housing data can be found at: www.census.gov

This drawing was inspired by a photo from Yantra X. It's a fat dragonfly;-) They're quite rare.

4 February 2021: In the week to 31 January on average 2,363 people tested positive each day in Belgium. The figure is up 8% on the week whilst the number of hospitalizations and fatalities continues to fall. Yesterday the Belgian government has agreed which ailments will qualify you for priority in getting vaccinated. Underlying health issues that provide a risk include all patients aged 45 to 64 with chronic respiratory, heart and vascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, chronic afflictions of the nervous system, dementia, tumorous cancers, kidney disease, chronic liver disease and high blood pressure. Patients in the 18 to 64 age category qualify if they have haematological cancers, Down syndrome, HIV or afflictions of the immune system. Also transplant patients and people with rare diseases will get priority. In total these are more than 1 million Belgians. The vaccination of risk patients will start next month. There was more good news yesterday. Researchers from the Oxford University reported the results of a study providing evidence that the AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine not only protects people from serious illness and death but also substantially slows the transmission of the virus. Assuming that the manuscript will get peer-reviewed published it underscores the importance of mass vaccinations as a path out of the pandemic. Personally, I find it a pity that many EU countries are taking a very conservative approach for the roll out of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Anyway, I’m not a virologist and, therefore, should not get involved in the debate. Instead, I’ll continue to focus on documenting daily life or what draws my attention during my daily corona walks in my hometown. It is sometimes surreal, ugly, paradoxical and complex. It’s a little bit of everything and a little bit of nothing but it’s unique in its own right – Ghent, Belgium.
Pieter Paul Rubens (Siegen, 28 June 1577 - Antwerp, 30 May 1640) - The fall of the damned or the fall of the rebel angels (around 1620) Dimensions 286.0 cm × 224.0 cm - Alte Pinakothek Munich
in cima al dipinto è rappresentato l'Arcangelo Michele con il suo scudo su cui batte un bagliore accecante che illumina i corpi dei dannati che cadono in un oscuro abisso, spinti da angeli caduti, rappresentati come diavoli.
Presentando i corpi nudi di donne e uomini, Rubens esprime la sua passione nel mostrare le varie forme anatomiche in ogni possibile angolazione e posa. Nella parte centrale si possono vedere figure obese con facce deformate i cui corpi vengono lacerati dalle bestie. Nella parte inferiore altri mostri e draghi si riuniscono per divorare i corpi dei dannati. I personaggi, sia per la loro anatomia sia per la posizione sono l'allegoria dei vari peccati.
A causa dello scandalo e delle controversie che causò questo dipinto, un vandalo vi gettò dell'acido, fortunatamente senza causare danni irreparabili.
on top of the painting is represented the Archangel Michael with his shield on which beats a blinding glare that illuminates the bodies of the damned who fall into a dark abyss, driven by fallen angels, represented as devils.
Presenting the naked bodies of women and men, Rubens expresses his passion in showing the various anatomical shapes in every possible angle and pose. In the central part you can see obese figures with deformed faces whose bodies are torn by beasts. In the lower part other monsters and dragons gather to devour the bodies of the damned. The characters, both for their anatomy and for their position, are the allegory of various sins.
Because of the scandal and the controversies that caused this painting, a vandal threw acid into it, fortunately without causing irreparable damage.
