In a since-deleted tweet, the establishment shared an altered version of one of the book’s illustrations that shows Lil Nas X on a horse holding a chicken wing instead of a guitar. In between celebrating his accomplishment, the “Panini” rapper responded to critics and even called out one company for seemingly attempting to ride the coat tails of his success. That company was Pluckers Wing Bar. Alongside a screenshot showing the Top children’s books, he wrote, “WE JUST HIT NUMBER 8 ACROSS ALL KIDS BOOKS IN THE WORLD! THANK U GUYS!” Turns out that Lil Nas X’s request didn’t fall on deaf ears because he later shared that the book had soared to the top of the charts. To promote the book, the “Old Town Road” crooner jokingly pleaded on Twitter, “MY CHILDREN’S BOOK “C IS FOR COUNTRY” IS OUT NOW!!!! GO GET IT PLEASE I REALLY NEED TO PAY MY RENT!” On Tuesday, the 21-year-old rapper released his first ever children’s book, C is for Country, which takes readers on a journey through their ABC’s complete with colorful illustrations by Theodore Taylor III. Lil Nas X can now add author to his list of accomplishments.

Reading one page, my sides were sore with laughter on the next, tears ran down my cheek. The book is serious but immensely readable, for King (who is part Cherokee) delivers his message in an unconventional manner - with humour and biting, clever wit. Perhaps it’s better described as a subversion of history, as King builds a detailed case for how Natives have been, and continue to be, trampled by non-Aboriginal people. The Inconvenient Indian, Thomas King’s latest book, is a history of the relationship between North America’s Natives and non-Natives in the centuries since the peoples first met.

I think you have to inherit a bucket you certainly couldn't buy one. Nick's is known for its Bucket Brigade, which hangs over the bar and is the ultimate in privilege-instead of downing ice-cold Buds in frozen mason jars, you sit down and have your own pail, with your name on it. On nongame nights, the crowd is decidedly grayer, wiser, and more old-fashioned. It's a sports bar, sure, in a varnished, waxy way-you walk in and (aside from the big screens) it could be 1958, with "Branch" McCracken's Hurryin' Hoosiers still playing ball. Dating from 1927, it had an allure that hinted at something more seasoned than the frat bars, live-music venues, and degenerate pool halls I frequented. Nick's was the first bar I considered aspirational. As the neon sign in the window will tell you, "You earned it." 75½ Rainey Street Where to crawl next: Craft Pride down the block for beers and Detroit pizza.

One fateful day, a caravan was passing by the village of Teira, which had been raided and set ablaze by bandits. Direct observation of non-local fermion pairing in an attractive Fermi-Hubbard gas ().Our goal is to use these gases as model systems for strongly interacting quantum matter, from High-T c superconductors to Neutron Stars. In contrast to bulk materials, we can freely tune the interaction between atoms and, for example, explore the crossover from a Bose-Einstein condensate of tightly bound molecules to a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superfluid of long-range fermion pairs. This is directly related to superconductivity in metals, where electron pairs transport current without resistance. In ultracold Fermi gases, atoms team up in pairs that can flow without friction. At temperatures a million times colder than interstellar space, and at densities a million times thinner than air, quantum mechanics takes center stage: Atoms behave as waves, they interfere like laser light, and form novel states of matter, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and fermionic superfluids. Our group studies ultracold gases near Absolute Zero temperature. Seuss! Today you are you! That is truer than true!
