1. Abingdon, Virginia.

On race days at the nearby Bristol Motor Speedway, Abingdon can turn bustling, but mostly this

town a stone's throw from the Tennessee and North Carolina borders stays sleepy.

That doesn't mean boring—arguably the country's most beautiful rails-to-trail, the Virginia

Creeper Trail, starts here.

Riders can rent bikes and arrange shuttles at the Virginia Creeper Trail Bike Shop.

Meanwhile, the two-century-old downtown boasts the Barter Theater, the nation's longest-running

professional theater, where Gregory Peck got his start.

Foodies will want to sample dishes at the innovative and friendly eatery The Peppermill

or the reportedly haunted The Tavern.

2. Livingston, Montana.

It's a testament to Livingston's over-the-top beauty that its scenery beats even Yellowstone

National Park, 50 miles south.

Fly-fishing on the Yellowstone River is legendary, but the downtown holds plenty of pleasures,

including galleries, an ever-growing assortment of unique shops

including Conley's Books and Music, a crackerjack independent bookstore.

Wet your whistle at The Murray, a favorite stop for visiting celebs located inside the

historic Murray Hotel.

3. Sackets Harbor, New York.

Sackets Harbor, which sits pretty in the Thousand Islands region of upstate New York, may be

tiny but it's mighty.

During the War of 1812, the village hosted the American Navy, enduring two of that conflict's

critical battles.

History buffs can enjoy a guided tour of the Sackets Harbor Battlefield, which features

a restored shipyard.

Just outside of town, Westcott Beach State Park is resplendent with white sand and Lake

Ontario waters, but simply strolling the downtown streets, lined with quaint shops, is a treat.

Don't miss brunch on the patio of Tin Pan Galley.

4. Fredericksburg, Texas.

Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg is spectacular in the spring, when the area's

wildflowers are in bloom.

There are plenty of diversions in other seasons, too, like exploring the region's famous wineries,

including Becker Vineyards, producers of award-winning vino for two decades.

Founded in the 19th-century by German settlers—whose descendants still make Old World-style goodies

at the Old German Bakery— Fredericksburg is also home to the exhaustive

National Museum of the Pacific War, dedicated to detailing WWII battles in the Pacific.

5. Madrid, New Mexico.

Located along the Land of Enchantment's Turquoise Trail about 30 miles south of Santa Fe, Madrid,

once a ghost town, has evolved into a full-blown artist colony.

Some 40 shops and galleries, many selling unique goods from local makers, fill the town.

There's even a little bunkhouse out back, or book a stay at The Lotus, a spa, and inn

providing services that include aromatherapy, yoga, and art therapy instruction.

6. Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

Perhaps still known best for its famous ex-mayor, gorgeous Carmel-by-the-Sea, offers loads to

do in its one-mile-square radius.

The dining is world-renowned, with around 50 top-rated restaurants to choose from, including

Doris Day's Cypress Inn.

Art lovers can stroll some of the town's 80-odd galleries with Carmel Art Tours, or take a

painting lesson at Titus Contemporary Gallery.

For a romantic retreat, reserve a room with a fireplace and whirlpool tub at the Carmel

Country Inn and take in a performance at the Sunset Center, where legends like Rosanne

Cash play.

7. Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

One-quarter of four little municipalities in northern Alabama dubbed collectively "The

Shoals," Muscle Shoals should be on every music lover's must-visit list.

The town's Fame Studios has hosted everyone from Aretha Franklin to the Osmonds.

Meanwhile, nearby Florence boasts the flagship store of the South's hottest clothing designer,

Billy Reid, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House,

while Tuscumbia is home to the iconic Ivy Green, the Helen Keller Birthplace and Home.

8. St. Michael's, Maryland.

Tucked away on Maryland's Eastern Shore, St. Michael's history stretches back to the mid-1600s,

when it served as a trading post.

Nowadays it's dotted with graceful colonial, federal, and Victorian structures turned into

hotels, restaurants, and shops, like the luxurious Inn at Perry Cabin.

Sample the justifiably famous local crab at the inn's restaurant and then head out on

the water—kayaking, sunset cruises, and paddleboards are all available in St. Michael's.

You can even help build a boat at the Chesapeake Maritime Museum.

9. Durango, Colorado.

Colorado is rich with adorable mountain burgs, but it's tough to beat Durango, especially

if you're a fan of locomotives.

Founded in 1880 by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, Durango still offers steam-powered

train journeys along the historic Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

To explore more ancient times, visit nearby Mesa Verde National Park, home to Ancestral

Puebloan people 1,500 years ago.

Of course, everything from fine fishing to incredible skiing is available in the surrounding

San Juan Mountains, and with more restaurants per capita than San Francisco,

Durango offers plenty of options when you're ready to eat.

10. Ephraim, Wisconsin.

Ephraim, situated on Wisconsin's Door County Peninsula, was settled by Norwegian Moravians

in 1853.

It features 11 sites on the National Register of Historic Places and a wealth of great shopping,

including the Anderson House Shop and Gallery, where you can browse for treasures inside

an 1864 homestead.

Outdoor lovers can take to the waters of Eagle Harbor by jetski, kayak, paddle board, or

Bella Sailing Cruises sailboat.

Fine flavors abound in Ephraim, too, from the locally-sourced cuisine at Trixie's to

the sweets at Wilson's Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor, a favorite since 1906.

Nestle to pay Starbucks US$7.15 billion in coffee licensing deal - Duration: 0:47.

Nestle, the world's largest food and beverage company, says it will pay Starbucks seven-point-one

billion U.S. dollars in cash to sell the coffee giant's products in retail outlets outside

of Starbucks chains.

The deal gives Swiss-based Nestle the rights to market, sell and distribute bags of Starbucks

coffee beans, instant coffee, as well as teas.

But the agreement does not include bottled drinks, such as iced coffees and Frappuccinos,

which are already sold in and outside Starbucks stores.

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson called the deal a "global coffee alliance" adding it will

"bring the Starbucks experience to the homes of millions more around the world."

It needs to be approved by regulators and is expected to be finalized later this year.

BIGGEST CORRUPTION IN THE US YET – GINGRICH READY TO TAKE IT ON ! - Duration: 12:02.

BIGGEST CORRUPTION IN THE US YET – GINGRICH READY TO TAKE IT ON !

"Trump administration is corrupted !" "Trump does the unthinkable !" "US falls in the

hands of Russian lovers !" . Hold on now , don't get mad.

This is just a preview.

A sarcastic way of criticizing fake media.

Yet mainstream media takes this serious.

So serious that they even make themselves believe these stories.

But wait.

Has it always been like this ? Let's see how things went for Obama.

He went in office and media praised him for a long time.

He left office and his administration was worshiped as unmistakable.

Any scandals involving Obama ? Quite a lot actually.

unfortunately not many came to the light of day in mainstream media.

Well Newt Gingrich has enough.

Time to end the corruption.

In a short interview with him he express his concerns about the current situation.

He especially made a very clear point about John Podesta having dinner with Justice Department

officials while Clinton's case was well under investigation.

FBI Director James Comey wasn't going to get away from this one either.

Gingrich had a lot to say about him especially about being the first lying director.

In the end he makes a clear point about why Trump won the elections and why he should

stay there.

There are a lot of critical news going unnoticed and mainstream media wants to make sure it

stays that way.

Comment below and tell them how you feel about that !

China and the US Forever War | World War 3 VI - Duration: 5:19.

Hey there.

Probably by the 2020s and certainly the 2030s the US race with China will really start to

heat up.

It's unclear what this will look like but we should be working hard to define the terms

today.

This competition will definitely include heavy handed diplomatic efforts across all seven

and fierce competitions for economic and technological advantage.

We really dont want this competition to be military.

If it is it will be a tragedy for the world, and a tragedy for the US and China as well.

Over the first couple decades of US war on terror idiocy China was content to sit on

the sidelines.

This is unlikely to be the case in the third and fourth decades.

As this January's new US national defense strategy makes clear, the Pentagon now intends

to keep the absurd budget and all the bases they were given to fight terrorism and use

it to play great power games everywhere from Africa to the Asian seas.

If we stay on this infantile path, China will not let that go unchallenged.

The history of great power competition in the late 19th century show this.

Germany had a couple brutally mismanaged African colonies, not because they were at all useful

to Germany, but because the British had African colonies.

And China has the potential to be a lot more powerful than Germany ever was.

2017 saw The release of the film Wolf Warrior 2 in China.

The most popular film in Chinese history is … a rousing story of a plucky humanitarian

Chinese special forces guy battling evil US imperialists in Africa.

This hasn't happened in reality yet, but there is no reason it couldn't.

China already has a large anti piracy force.

Who could object to them deciding to help out with a couple bases in Somalia?

Shouldn't the great sufferings of the people of Somalia be alleviated?

The fact that this would involve a large Chinese presence on one of the world's most important

shipping lanes would just be a small bonus.

For decades the US has been the only country powerful enough to mask its geopolitical goals

with semi-plausible humanitarian justifications.

It has been one of our most important advantages.

That will be over by the 2020s.

China already has one African base in Djibouti.

The US has been stepping up its military involvement all over the continent.

We only got the vaguest sense of the extent of this involvement when we learned that four

US soldiers, acting in an advisory capacity, died in a heated battle in Niger in October

2017.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see proxy wars in Africa between the US and China by 2030.

This will all be completely pointless of course.

It doesn't have to happen this way.

It was the policy of the US over the past 15 years, with its pointless wars in Iraq

and now Syria that set the tone.

And we haven't even paid for any of it.

The cost of the past 15 years of war has all just been added to the national debt.

The story of the 21st century will be one of competition with China.

And we chose to start out by going into massive debt to make it a military competition.

We just started a marathon with a sprint.

This channel is dedicated, in part, to trying to stuff that particular genie back into the

bottle, but it may already be too late.

What's important now, whether we are headed back into the era of great power competition

or not, is to make less mistakes than the other guy.

History tells us exactly what these mistakes look like.

From the US in Iraq, to the Soviets in Afghanistan, to the US in Vietnam, to the Axis powers in

Africa, all the way back to the British Boer War in South Africa in the early 1900s, it's

a question of not committing to pointless wars.

You want to get the other guy to over commit.

At the moment many in the US are trying to get us to commit more money and troops to

Syria.

That's nuts.

In the name of humanity and decency, we should never have been involved in Syria.

But screw all that.

Getting out of Syria as soon as possible may be a question of survival for the US world

system.

the world a bit less nuts, please click on the Patreon link here to find out how.

What is US Teacher Appreciation Week - Everything You Need to Know Teacher Appreciation Day 2018 - Duration: 1:53.

Today Google is celebrating US Teacher Appreciation Week with Google Doodle in USA

This week aims to cast a special spotlight on educators who have and continue to dedicate

their lives to the intellectual and personal development of students across the nation.

Created in partnership with all 55 2018 US State Teachers of the Year, today's Doodle

explores the theme.

when is teacher appreciation week

Celebrate Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, May 7 to 11, 2018.

Your teachers and staff go above to help your students go beyond.

Thank them for making a positive difference every day at your school with unique teacher

appreciation gifts from Positive Promotions.

Teacher Appreciation Week is a national holiday celebrated in United States of America which

takes place in the first full week of May.

The lessons learned with my grandmother have shaped the art educator I am today.

Teaching is about forming genuine relationships built on mutual respect.

I've often found the small day-to-day moments are where we can have the biggest impact.

I challenge my students to find ways to quietly shine each day: greeting others with smiles

and warm hellos, respectfully listening to other people's stories, and coming to school

open to ideas and perspectives.

I hope by being a part of my classroom that students are challenged to live their lives

with enthusiastic, empathetic resilience through tough times and small tasks alike.

The results can inspire others when least expected.

Happy Teacher's day to the incredible educators who inspire the future change-makers of the

world.

Happy US Teacher Appreciation Week 2018

U.S. committed to 'permanent dismantlement' of N. Korea's WMD programs: State Dept. - Duration: 0:42.

The U.S. State Department has reiterated that it's committed to achieving the permanent

dismantlement of North Korea's weapons of mass destruction without delay… stressing

that Washington's objective in regards to the regime remains unchanged.

According to Radio Free Asia on Monday, the State Department's East Asia and Pacific Affairs

Bureau spokesperson reaffirmed that the Trump administration's global maximum pressure campaign

will continue until North Korea denuclearizes.

On the upcoming summit, the spokesperson said President Trump is looking forward to the

event and a comprehensive, government-wide effort is underway to prepare for the meeting.

North Korea, U.S. still working out details for their scheduled summit - Duration: 1:52.

The world has its eyes fixed on a scheduled summit between the leaders of North Korea

and the United States,... but it appears the two sides are having a tough time coordinating

the details of the historic meeting.

While the U.S. is taking a hard-line approach to denuclearization,... Pyongyang is ratcheting

up criticism against the Trump administration's maximum pressure campaign against the regime.

Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.

Coordination for a summit between North Korea and the United States seems to be becoming

increasingly strategic.

Washington is urging Pyongyang to permanently and verifiably give up its nuclear program,...

substituting the word "complete" with "permanent" as it addresses the North's nuclear issue.

Watchers say the change in wording signals a more hard-line approach to denuclearization

which not only includes the regime's nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missiles but

also other weapons of mass destruction like chemical and biological programs.

A delay in the final announcement of the date and location of the summit as well as the

repatriation of U.S. detainees in the North also hint that the two parties are having

difficulty coordinating the first-ever summit between the sitting leaders of the two countries.

While the U.S. is closely coordinating with Japan on North Korea,... Pyongyang has criticized

Tokyo for advocating maximum pressure on the regime.

The regime's external propaganda outlet, Meari, accused Tokyo of making hostile remarks against

the North despite its ongoing efforts to resolve the nuclear standoff on the Korean Peninsula.

North Korea's foreign ministry spokesperson also warned the U.S. that continued pressure

and military threats could ruin the hard-won atmosphere of dialogue and bring the situation

back to square one.
