  China has tested the world's first megawatt-class flying wind turbine, generating enough energy to power an average home for two weeks. Dubbed AWES, it is a large helium-filled airship containing 12 wind turbines.  It utilizes stable wind speeds at an altitude of 6,500 feet. The idea wouldn't be to have one over every house though, but to complement traditional ground-based wind power systems, and potentially for use in off-grid settings. Testing is in early phases, there is much to consider with regards to maintenance and safety, such as the tether's risk to aircraft.

  "America's Scariest Motel." It opened in 1985 in Tonopah, NV.  Leroy and Leona Davis wanted to honor their father's clown figurine collection, so they had inspiration and decoration. The new owners, as of 2017, really elevated the theme. I'm not even afraid of clowns, per se, but there is certainly a creep factor to having SO many around you.  And while you sleep. Today, they have around 4,000 pieces of clown memorabilia. Papa Davis is buried right across the street in the historic Tonopah Cemetery. Old Tonopah

Specifically, the Fire Horse. Known for fostering growth, independence, and strong, swift progress. This one's a rare combination, occurring every 60 years, symbolizing intense energy, passion, and change. While the animals of the calendar follow a 12 year cycle, there is also the 5 element cycle.  And, as we learned last year, there is a Yin and a Yang. Bing-Wu is the Yang Fire Horse, and this is known as a Double Fire year.  A year when the sun shines brighter, intuition sharpens, and life refuses to stay in old forms.
