The series juxtaposes two young, wealthy urban socialites, Paris Hilton, heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune, and her friend Nicole Richie, adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie, with the people and the values of varied environments. Although the show might be compared to the 1965-1971 situation comedy "Green Acres", the show would later take these fish-out-of-water gals into other occupations... with disastrous Three Stooges-style results, stemming from the perception that the two women are out of touch with reality. The Penfifteen Club recorded one of the show's themes, ...

Many people find direct sunlight to be too bright for comfort, especially when reading from white paper upon which the sun is directly shining. Indeed, looking directly at the sun can cause permanent vision damage. To compensate for the brightness of sunlight, many people wear sunglasses. Cars, many helmets and caps are equipped with visors to block the sun from direct vision when the sun is at a low angle. In colder countries many people prefer sunnier days and often avoid the shade. In hotter countries the converse is true; during t ...

Delft is well known for the Delft pottery ceramic products which were styled on the imported Chinese porcelain of the 17th century. The city had an early start in this area since it was a home port of the Dutch East India Company. The painter Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) was born in Delft. Vermeer used Delft streets and home interiors as the subject or background of his paintings. Several other famous painters lived and worked in Delft at that time, such as Pieter de Hoogh, Carel Fabritius and Nicolaes Maes. They all were membe ...

Belgium is one of the most densely populated countries of the world, especially Flanders. Many Dutchmen call Belgium a "planological disaster". But the nature is unique, resembling that of the Netherlands and northern France for Flanders, but very different for Wallonia. Belgium has 67 km of coastline along the North Sea, in the province of West Flanders. Nice places to visit here are De Panne, Ostend, De Haan and Knokke-Heist. Accommodation is very good, and there is plenty of choice, as the whole coastline is one big city, so to spe ...

Saline Valley was inhabited in late prehistoric times by the Timbisha (also known as Panamint or Koso). The village in Saline Valley was known as Ko'on, which also referred to the valley as a whole. The village was abandoned in the early 20th century and the inhabitants moved to Darwin, California. Saline Valley was a significant mineral source in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Conn and Trudo Borax Company mined borax from the salt marsh from 1874 to 1895. The remains of this site can be seen today as a few shallow pits near Saline Valley Road. Salt mining began in 1903 at the ...

Reverse dress codes, sometimes referred to as "undress codes", set forth an upper bound, rather than a lower bound, on body covering. An example of an undress code, is the one commonly enforced in modern communal bathing facilities. For example, in Schwaben Quellen no clothing of any kind is allowed. Other less strict undress codes are common in public pools, especially indoor pools, in which shoes and shirts are not allowed. This undress code is an exact reversal of the ubiquitous "no shoes, no shirt, no service" dress code tha ...

Amersfoort - History. Hunter gatherers set up their camps in the Amersfoort region in the Mesolithic period. Traces of these camps have been found to the north of Amersfoort by archaelogists, mainly consisting of vague features, which represent the hearths of the hunter-camps. Sometimes microlithic flint objects have been found. Settlements in the Amersfoort area from around 1000 BC have been found, but the name Amersfoort (named after a ford in the Amer river, now the Eem) did not appear until the 11th ce ...

The existence of nearly all life on earth is fueled by light from the sun. Plants use the energy of sunlight to turn air into simple sugars—a process known as photosynthesis. These sugars are then used as the building blocks which allow the plant to grow. Animals use light from the sun indirectly, by either by eating plants or eating other animals that have eaten plants. The sugars produced by the plant are then broken down, releasing stored solar energy, and giving the animal the energy required for mo ...
