Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Colorado, United States 2
Manitou Cliff Dwellings Colorado 2005
are a tourist attraction, located just west of Colorado Springs, Colorado on U.S. Highway 24 in Manitou Springs
The Anasazi did not live in the Manitou Springs area, but lived and built their cliff dwellings in the Four Corners area, several hundred miles southwest of Manitou Springs. The Manitou Cliff Dwellings were relocated to their present location in the early 1900s, as a museum, preserve, and tourist attraction. The stones were taken from a collapsed Anasazi site near Cortez in southwest Colorado, shipped by railroad to Manitou Springs, and assembled in their present form as Anasazi-style buildings closely resembling those found in the Four Corners. The project was done with the approval and participation of well-known anthropologist Dr. Edgar Lee Hewett, and Virginia McClurg, founder of the Colorado Cliff Dwelling Association.

This is a compilation of photo's taken at the Miramont Castle in Manitou Springs, Colorado on October 6th, 2011. At this time, we have no explanation why these discolorations (some would believe to be Orbs) appeared and were not visable with the naked eye.
Manitou Cliff Dwellings
This cliff dwelling was awesome. I also enjoyed the museum as well. It is amazing how these people survived with so little and how they did these dwellings with the tools they had at that time.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and completed in 1931. The building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and stands a total of 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall, including its antenna. Its name is derived from Empire State, the nickname of New York, which is of unknown origin. As of 2019, the building is the second-tallest building in New York City, the sixth-tallest completed skyscraper in the United States, and the 45th-tallest in the world. It is also the sixth-tallest freestanding structure in the Americas. The Empire State Building stood as the world's tallest building for nearly 40 years until the completion of the World Trade Center's North Tower in Lower Manhattan in late-1970. Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, it was again the tallest building in New York City until the new One World Trade Center surpassed it while under construction in April 2012.
The site of the Empire State Building, located in Midtown South on the west side of Fifth Avenue between West 33rd and 34th Streets, was originally part of an early 18th-century farm, then became the site of the Waldorf–Astoria Hotel in 1893. In 1929, Empire State Inc. acquired the site and devised plans for a skyscraper there. The design for the Empire State Building was changed fifteen times until it was ensured to be the world's tallest building. Construction started on March 17, 1930, and the building opened thirteen and a half months afterward on May 1, 1931. Despite the publicity surrounding the building's construction, its owners failed to make a profit until the early 1950s. However, since its opening, the building's Art Deco architecture and open-air observation deck has made it a popular attraction, with around 4 million tourists from around the world visiting the building's 86th and 102nd floor observatories every year.The building stands within a mile of other major Midtown tourist attractions including Grand Central Terminal, Pennsylvania Station, Madison Square Garden, Koreatown, and Macy's Herald Square.
The Empire State Building is an American cultural icon and has been featured in more than 250 TV shows and movies since the film King Kong was released in 1933. A symbol of New York City, the tower has been named as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Empire State Building and its ground-floor interior have been designated as a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and were confirmed as such by the New York City Board of Estimate. It was also designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986, and was ranked number one on the American Institute of Architects' List of America's Favorite Architecture in 2007.

SUMMARY
=======
Dallas () is a city in the U.S. state of Texas. With an estimated 2017 population of 1,341,075, it is the ninth most-populous city in the U.S. and third in Texas after Houston and San Antonio. Dallas is the main core of the largest metropolitan area in the Southern United States and the largest inland metropolitan area in the U.S. that lacks any navigable link to the sea. It is the most populous city in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the country at 7.3 million people as of 2017. Dallas is the seat of Dallas County. Sections of the city extend into Collin, Denton, Kaufman, and Rockwall counties.
Dallas and nearby Fort Worth initially developed due to the construction of major railroad lines through the area allowing access to cotton, cattle, and later oil in North and East Texas. The construction of the Interstate Highway System reinforced Dallas's prominence as a transportation hub, with four major interstate highways converging in the city and a fifth interstate loop around it. Dallas then developed as a strong industrial and financial center, and a major inland port, due to the convergence of major railroad lines, interstate highways, and the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world.Dallas is rated a beta(+) global city. The economy of Dallas is considered diverse, with dominant sectors including defense, financial services, information technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It serves as the headquarters for 9 Fortune 500 companies within the city limits. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex hosts additional Fortune 500 companies, including American Airlines (Fort Worth), ExxonMobil (Irving), and J.C. Penney (Plano). The city has a population from a myriad of ethnic and religious backgrounds and the sixth-largest LGBT population in the United States.
Arts Upload: Season 1 | Episode 6
This week, we get an inside look at the creation of a dramatic multi-media piece by Kronos Quartet that commemorates the centennial of the start of World War One. Producer Anne Copeland Davis introduces us to local crime thriller writer Joel Goldman. The Meyer Circle Sea Horse Fountain is Charles Gusewelle's pick for another installment of My Favorite Fountain. Lindsey Foat offers up a ghastly treat as she unearths the lair of the Worlds of Fun Screamsters. And from the PBS station in Tampa, Florida, Producer Farah Britto takes us inside Bollywood's equivalent of the Oscars, the IIFA Awards.
They call it synergy when a number of forces swirl together to create something really special. It’s a good word to describe what happened recently at Helzberg Hall in the Kauffman Center. On October 18, the world-renowned Kronos Quartet played a brand new composition commemorating a sad centennial, the beginning of World War One. The dramatic multi-media piece was co-commissioned by the Harriman-Jewell series and the National World War One Museum. Here’s an inside look at some of the day’s activities, and a glimpse of how art can help us better understand both past and present.
When it comes to self-publishing, we can’t expect to hit the “50 Shades of Grey” jackpot, but the rules about how writers can reach readers are definitely undergoing some change. At least one Kansas City writer has discovered that that can be a very good thing. Joel Goldman is a lawyer who writes crime thrillers. One of his protagonists is an FBI agent named Jack Davis, a man who fights for good--sometimes in the vicinity of backdrops that you might recognize. Producer Anne Copeland Davis is on the case.
We go now from one writer to another. In this edition of My Favorite Fountain, producer Dave Burkhardt found a man who’s seen waterworks in cities all over the world. This week's pick comes from the Kansas City Star’s Charles Gusewelle.
This next story is all about dressing up for effect. Have you ever heard of screamsters? That’s what they call the dead-icated folks who do the Halloween haunting out at Worlds of Fun every year. Our own Lindsey Foat was granted special access into their lair. Every fall since 2007, Worlds of Fun has transformed the park into a haunted maze of terrors after dark. Guests pay for access to the regular rides and attractions, but also for the experience of being scared. Near the entrance of the park, guests are in full view of two creepy dolls, a monkey with crashing cymbals and a hobgoblin named Bravehorn. These “screamsters” — as Worlds of Fun refers to its Haunt entertainers — work together to scare passersby. Mark Farrar, the screamster playing Bravehorn, described one of the most aspired-to scares: the ping-pong, where screamsters bounce the terrified guests from one screamster to another. When the guests turn to run, they’re stopped by another screamster right behind them.
Our final story involves a trip to Tampa. That South Florida city had the honor of being the first place outside India to host the IIFA Awards, Bollywood’s equivalent of our Oscars.
Stand-ups were filmed on location at the KC Costume Company.
