  River Notes - Drought and the...

  From bestselling author, long-time former National Geographic Explorer, and anthropologist Wade Davis comes the story of America's Nile: how it once flowed freely and how human intervention has left it near exhaustion, altering the water temperature, volume, local species, and shoreline of the river Theodore Roosevelt once urged us to "leave it as it is." 
   
   
   
  Plugged by no fewer than twenty-five dams, the Colorado is the world's most regulated river drainage, providing most of the water supply of Las Vegas, Tucson, and San Diego, and much of the power and water of Los Angeles and Phoenix, cities that are home to more than 25 million people. For the entire American Southwest, the Colorado is indeed the river of life, which makes it all the more tragic and ironic that by the time it approaches its final destination, it has been reduced to a shadow upon the sand, its delta dry and deserted, its flow a toxic trickle seeping into the sea. 
   
   
   
  Yet despite more than a century of human interference, Davis writes, the splendor of the Colorado lives on in the river's remaining wild rapids, quiet pools, and sweeping canyons. The story of the Colorado River is the human quest for progress and its inevitable effects—and an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and foster the rebirth of America's most iconic waterway.

  Quilters are forever looking for dynamic designs, especially ones that are both simple and eye-catching. All 15 featured Picture Patchwork designs can be made with simple squares -- the most basic shape of all, but the author has added some additional touches (optional) with the nine-patch, half-squares, and sawtooth, plus a few appliqué flourishes. In creating these novelty quilts, Jo Ann took her inspiration from cross-stitch graphs using a pixelated approach, which follows charts for color and placement. These are ideal for using pre-cuts (charms and mini-charms) as well as stash fabrics, and nothing will keep quilters of all skill levels from tackling any of the designs. They can even sprinkle in some of their own creativity if desired. Depending on the fabric a quilter chooses these charted designs can take on a modern spin or be utterly traditional. Picture Patchwork will have you looking at the endless supply of cross-stitch grids through a quilter's eye and serves as a self-purchase or gift title for all levels of quilting enthusiasts.

  BIG BROTHER 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Big Brother is an American reality competition show based on a Dutch series. It debuted on CBS on July 5, 2000, and is the longest-running adaptation of the franchise. A group of contestants, known as Houseguests, live in a custom-built house, isolated from the outside world, and are under constant surveillance. They compete for a $750,000 cash prize, with the runner-up receiving a smaller prize. Houseguests are evicted through a voting process. The show features competitions for power, food, and luxury. It is known for its unexpected twists and social experiment aspects. The live feeds allow viewers to watch the houseguests at any time. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The American version of Big Brother is based on a Dutch reality show created in 1997 by John de Mol Jr., and it takes its name from a character in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The show places contestants in a house, isolated from the outside world and under constant surveillance. 
    
  Big Brother premiered on CBS on July 5, 2000, and is the longest-running adaptation in the Big Brother franchise, since the Spanish version was discontinued in 2022. The show's 26th season premiered on July 17, 2024, and its 27th season will premiere in the summer of 2025. 
    
  The show initially focused on the social experiment aspect, but after the first season, the format was revamped to emphasize competition and gameplay. The first season resembled the original Dutch version, minimizing competitive elements.
