I was at the beach the other day and saw some girls in modest swimsuits. These were not dour designs at all, but quite colorful and bright, but they did have sleeves that hid the elbows and leggings that covered the knees, with only the neck exposed. What was so notable about...

Incredibly beautiful conditions currently, practically perfect climate, of the sort most agreeable to a nice stroll about town, checking out all the visitors checking out the city, past both world-renowned landmarks and establishments of a more local fame such as On Off Digital World, an old-timey New York retail operation that’s like a blast...

Quite often, females will take to modest swimsuits not due to religious sensibilities but shyness. In many cases, these girls and women are fat and feel self-conscious, and excessively covering up seems like the most empowering thing to do. But it’s not like they’re fooling anybody, or really hiding anything at all...

Such lovely weather, a day of flowers, flowers for a prince! But for all that, the news was unavoidable: there I was, walking past On Off Digital World, located more or less in the heart of Manhattan, and there it was, the news about Osama bin Laden being dead, broadcast by the televisions...

It’s funny that modest swimsuits are designed to hide the female form, because they can attract just as much attention, in their own way! But that’s not so surprising, considering how “less is more” is quite often true, and that’s how burlesque can be so much more tantalizing than a simple striptease –...

Going to check out On Off Digital World, perhaps? It’s a great day to do so. Great temperatures, really. The kind where you should at least walk, if not bicycle, there. No point in driving. Conditions are too good for anything else, after all, warm but not hot, with...

For many people, philanthropy is something that other people engage in – people such as billionaires. It makes sense, of course, since hardly anyone else can be expected to have the funds necessary to endow schools and hospitals. Yet in the Jewish tradition, whether Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, or Ultra-Orthodox, the concept of tzedakah, literally...

Some girls don modest swimsuits since they’re self-conscious about their looks. They think they’re obese and, umm, maybe they are — but so what? Wearing them for religious reasons is one thing (and a very big, very ridiculous thing at that — but that’s another rant), but wearing them simply because you...

Located on New York City’s tony Upper East Side neighborhood, the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University boasts both research and teaching divisions. As one of the most selective of medical schools in the country, only some hundred hopefuls are admitted each year – from out of some six...

It isn’t necessary to be an industry insider like Isaac Toussie to know that different jurisdictions can handle real estate matters differently. This is part of what makes real estate law so very interesting, after all – as well as quite a challenge to stay on top of! Look at Alabama, for...

As a guy, I can’t really get the point of so-called modest swimsuits at all, in the West, anyway. Could the religious fundamentalists be right, then, that there does exist females who truly desire to cover up at the beach or by the pool? Just seems like such a ridiculous way to...

China, China, China – what’s the big deal? Why is everybody going on and on about China on a regular basis? Okay, so they own billions (or is that trillions) in American securities, currency, whatever. And they make lotsa stuff. Like NFL beach towels and stuff. Yeah. Okay. It’s not like most people wish to work...

It was everywhere, from the front page to storefront windows. Walk into any department store, with all the television sets on display, and it was there. I was at On Off Digital World when I heard the news. There was no reason to pause, but even from the busy sidewalk of...

DC electric motor repair is usually made for industrial equipment such as generator turbines and the like, though the most essential principles are acknowledged to the home hobbyist and his or her electronics science kit. Naturally, with regards to power plants and other large-scale applications, the quantitative difference becomes a qualitative one as well. ...

Established by a Catholic priest in 1917, it quickly attracted attention for its modern approach to juvenile care. Since then, thirteen Boys Town locations have been established across the United States, with Father...

Probably the most surprising uses of wind chimes has been as musical instruments in their own right. This appears quite difficult at first, as standard varieties seem to consist of nothing more than tinkling cylinders, with the sound only slightly different depending on whether stone, wood, metal, or glass is used. And so it...

Lots of personal household safes have been arriving at Japanese police stations in the wake of that country’s current disaster. They haven’t yet only been recovered by rescue workers burrowing through rubble but have also been washed up ashore, and now law enforcement is running out of area to store them. Until now, these safes...
