Butter cow sculptures appeared to have started with the Ohio State Fair in 1903, and the first one was displayed at the Iowa State Fair eight years later as a way to promote dairy products in one of the country's leading agricultural states.

El indonesio de 30 años cuenta que se tatuó la espalda, un brazo y una pierna para verse a la moda en los días en que “era un pandillero, un maleante en el mercado”.

For the record, it’s a pleasing action movie that aspires to be something more, but doesn’t quite achieve its intention. “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” pairs Jackson here with Ryan Reynolds, and sprinkled throughout we get moments that suggest an attempt — by Tom O’Connor’s screenplay and Patrick Hughes’ direction — to turn the movie into a buddy action-comedy. Reynolds plays Bryce, a former CIA agent specializing in offering first-class (“Triple A rated”) protection for corporate clients who feel their lives might be in danger. Читать дальше...
