Desert X Giant outdoor exhibits promote culture and social commentary
• An anonymous Middle Eastern prince donated $500,000 for Hurricane Sandy relief in exchange for a 15-minute meeting with actress Kristen Stewart. • The creators of Dragon’s Lair used Playboy magazines to create the princess. • After more than six decades of separation, differences in the language have developed between South and North Korea. This leads to hardship for North Korean defectors after they escape, because they have to relearn their language. • That distinctive odor of pool water usually described as the smell of chlorine is actually chloramines, which are released when chlorine reacts with human sweat, oil or urine. • When is a kiss not just a kiss? Ask the fellow who, in 2010, bypassed security at the Newark Airport to smooch his girlfriend goodbye. The entire terminal was shut down for seven hours and the gentleman became known as “Airport Romeo.” • The 1963 movie “Charade” entered the public domain immediately upon its release because Universal Pictures published it with an invalid copyright notice. • Around 20 million years ago, 7-foot tall, 2,000-pound pigs roamed the earth.

esert X international art exhibition returns for the fourth year, showcasing 12 installations by artists from Europe, North America and South Asia. Their immersive works span sculpture, painting, photography, writing, architecture, design, film, music, performance, choreography, education and environmental activism. Think giant sculptural structures and outdoor visuals with social commentary masterfully integrated into the designs. The outdoor exhibits, which are on display through May 7, promote cultural education and the opportunity for artists to address ecological, spiritual, historical and other societal issues such as climate health and political influences. This year’s artists include Rana Begum from Bangladesh and based in London; Paloma Contreras Lomas from Mexico; and Gerald Clarke from Anza, California; among others. The exhibit is produced by Desert Biennial and is cocurated by Diana Campbell along with returning artistic director Neville Wakefield. An important subtext of the program is the reverence paid to the Cahuilla people as the original stewards of the land on which Desert X takes place. Desert X Hub will be located at the Ace Hotel, 701 E. Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs, where guests can obtain a map of artist installations and a full guide to the exhibition. Visit desertx.org for more details.

Fascinating facts about public libraries • Philanthropist Andrew Carnegie was a one-man library-funding machine. The wealthy industrialist donated $55 million—or about $1.6 billion in today’s dollars—between 1886 and 1919 to open an astonishing 2509 libraries worldwide, including 1679 in the United States.
• The Library of Congress is so devoted to making knowledge available to everyone that it pays to reproduce popular magazines in Braille. In 1985, an irate senator from Ohio named Chalmers Wylie lobbied to get them to stop publishing a Braille version of Playboy. It was reinstated after protests.
• Librarians used to have to adopt a particular style of handwriting known as “librarian hand.” The practice was prevalent in the late 1800s, when library pioneer Melvil Dewey—of the Dewey Decimal System fame— and other curators of early collections believed that legible handwriting was a must for card catalogs. The practice faded as typewriters grew in popularity.
• Members of the New York Public Library can borrow accessories like neckties and briefcases for people looking to complete an ensemble for a job interview. • Many libraries offer a service called Freegal that allows patrons to download songs from a library of over 15 million tracks. Ask your local library if they participate.

Trendy astronauts American astronauts will soon get a newer, more chic look in their new spacesuits in time for NASA’s much anticipated Artemis 3 moon mission in 2025. More important, the suits will be more comfortable and will allow astronauts to dress themselves. “This is going to be much more flexible suit. The range of motion is really going to improve the astronauts’ ability to do all the tasks they’re going to do when out exploring on the lunar surface,” Peggy Whitson,

Thursday, April 13, 2023 • They drink modest amounts of wine, perhaps 1 to 2 cups per day, if at all. • They belong to a faith-based community of some kind. • They put loved ones first and often live with or near family members. • The people around them are engaged in similar healthy behaviors. To read the study about the Blue Zones, go online to www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov, select PubMed from the dropdown menu and put “Blue Zones” in the search box. Look for the authors Buettner D, Skemp S. The heading includes “Lessons from the World’s Longest Lived.” There is hope for all of us to extend our lives if we incorporate some of what those in the Blue Zones have to teach us.

In several parts of the world there are large populations that regularly live into their 90s and even pass 100 years. They’re called Blue Zones, those parts of the world where seniors live longer, healthier lives. It started as a National Geographic project to look for the secrets to longevity. They were able to identify five locations: Loma Linda, California; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Sardinia, Italy;
Ikaria, Greece; and Okinawa, Japan. Fascinated scientists began to study these over-100 people and concluded that they had nine commonalities. They are: • The Blue Zoners move and exercise naturally, working in gardens and going about their lives with frequent walks, not engaging in heavylifting gym visits. • They have a purpose to each day. • They do what they must to avoid stress. Some pray, some have happy hour, some take naps, but they intentionally do something. • They follow Confucius’ rule to stop eating when they’re 80% full, and don’t eat late at night. • Their diets are semi-vegetarian and they stick mostly with beans and lentils, fruits and vegetables, olive oil and whole grains.

• Here’s a great way to get a longer life out of a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. — Y.P. in Illinois

• Rub hands with lemon slices to get rid of onion or fish smells. Afterward, you can put the lemon slices down your garbage disposal unit with a few ice cubes to get rid of smells there, too. • Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two-thirds, and still get that tumbledried softness. — M.N. in Missouri Delaware

www.DesertMobileHomeNews.com On April 15, 1981, Washington Post reporter Janet Cooke relinquished the Pulitzer Prize she had received just two days earlier for her feature “Jimmy’s World,” published in the Post on Sept. 29, 1980, about an 8-year-old heroin addict, after admitting she made up the story.
On April 13, 1999, Jack Kevorkian, aka “Dr. Death,” was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison for the second degree murder of 52-year-old Thomas Youk, who was in the final stages of ALS. Youk’s assisted suicide the previous year was videotaped and shown on the Nov. 23, 1998, broadcast of “60 Minutes.” Kevorkian served eight years before being released on parole for good behavior. On April 14, 1956, Ampex Corp. demonstrated its first commercial videotape recorder, the VR-1000. CBS was one of the early TV companies to adopt the technology, which allowed a one-hour long program to be recorded on a single reel of tape.
On April 16, 1942, the citizens of the Island of Malta were awarded the George Cross by King George VI in honor of their heroic struggle against nearly continuous bombing by German and Italian forces during the early part of World War II. On April 17, 1964, the Ford Motor Company unveiled its new Mustang model at the New York World’s Fair. Championed by Ford Division general manager Lee Iacocca, the car came with a suggested retail price of $2,368 and was a great success, with more than a million sold in just its first 18 months.
