Hi. My name is Michelle, and I am currently an intern in the Public Affairs Section at the
U.S. Embassy Vienna. Today, I'm here to tell you about my home state of Ohio.
Ohio often serves as a bridge between the Midwest and the Northeast, making it a popular hub for business. After all, it is home to Wendy's and Abercrombie & Fitch.
Ohio sits on Lake Erie to the north and is bordered by the Ohio River to the South allowing for many ports, as well as a lot of sailing, kayaking, and fishing. The river also gave Ohio its name. The Iroquois word ohi-yo means great river.
Native Americans inhabited Ohio for quite some time, with the Adena and Hopewell tribes being the most famous. Both tribes were mound-builders leaving behind spectacular works that are still studied today, mainly the Great Serpent Mound of the Adena and the earthworks from the Hopewell. However, these and most other indigenous cultures disappeared from Ohio by the late 17th century.
On March 1, 1803, Ohio became the 17th state. Today, Ohio has three major cities, known as the three C's, which cut diagonally across the state. Cincinnati is in the southwest, Columbus, the state capital, in the middle, and Cleveland, the Mistake on the Lake, in the northeast, where I'm from.
On the shore of Lake Erie, Cleveland is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While
often picked on by outsiders, Cleveland is a great place to live. It is also home to several
professional sports teams, including with my favorite baseball team-the Cleveland Indians. Go Tribe! Cleveland also has the second largest Playhouse Square in the country and the Cleveland Clinic and University hospitals which are world-renowned.
Also, my home town is often used as a backdrop in movies. In fact, The Avengers was
partially filmed in Cleveland and the upcoming Iron Man III and Captain America will
be as well.
Columbus is home to one of the largest college campuses in the country, The Ohio State
University, home of the Buckeyes, where you can always here our state rock song, Hang on Sloopy. As with most schools, our football team is the most well-known with seven national championships, but we can claim dozens of championships in other sports as well. Olympic gold-medalist Jesse Owens, basketball-star Bobby Knight, and golfer Jack Nicklaus all attended Ohio State.
Ohio is known as the Buckeye state, after the Ohio Buckeye Tree. Another nickname is the Birthplace of Aviation, as Ohio was home to the Wright brothers. Ohio is also the
birthplace of seven presidents and home to an eighth. One of these presidents James A.
Garfield lived less than twenty minutes from my home.
Ohio is home to both John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth, and Neil
Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.
If you get out of the cities, you will see the beauty of Ohio that I love. The farmlands,
forests, and gentle hills are great for hiking, picnics, and even swimming if you're so brave. Here you can get all four seasons, gorgeous sunsets, and can drink your morning coffee while watching the deer in your backyard.
Ohio offers the best of both worlds, with the bustle of the city and the beauty of the country, so I invite you to visit-we have something for everyone.

Chances are you have not met someone like Tim Hwang before. Forbes called him “the busiest man on the internet” — once he has an idea, he goes for it. And Hwang has had a lot of ideas.
One such idea came up during a conversation with a friend one day. “We were talking about field trips that we had gone on in high school,” says Hwang. “And [my friend] was like, ‘Oh, did you ever go to a nuclear plant?’ And I was like, ‘What high school do you go to that you went into a nuclear plant for your high school field trip?’”
From there, Hwang was determined to find out how to do such a tour again today. However, after making the call and explaining that he was just an enthusiastic admirer and wanted to check out the nuclear power plant, he was politely told no.
After going back to the drawing board, Tim came up with a plan. He created a Tumblr site for his new group, named the Bay Area Infrastructure Observatory. Then he decided he needed an official sounding title for himself — Deputy Director.
“A big organization, it’s not just numbers, there has to be people who actually have offices with mahogany desks and lots of people reporting to them and that kind of thing,” Hwang explains. “But you have to know with organizations that the president never calls you, right? If it’s an important enough organization, it’s always got to be his assistant, so my official title is Deputy Director; there currently is no director.”
Why the keen interest in visiting a power plant? Or, for that matter, any of the sites that the Bay Area Infrastructure Observatory have visited, which include The National Ignition Facility, a container terminal, or the newly constructed San Francisco Bay Bridge extension?
”I think we live in an environment nowadays which is kind of very restricted as to what you can see and really, what you can learn about,” Hwang says.
“Everything from the design of a chair to the setting of the size of a bike lane, these are all choices that ultimately, people make. And I think it’s really inspirational that people are willing to kind of struggle to make that thing happen because no matter how small, it actually has a really big impact.”
“I think it’s very much just about, “Hey, these places are really cool. It’d be great to learn more about them and it’s weird that we don’t know more about them.”

SUBSCRIBE to get REGIONAL INFORMATION about where YOU live:
Full Article Here:
The purpose of this video is to determine where the safest cities to live are in West Virginia. Those places where crime is usually something you hear about on Facebook, but not from your local paper.
We analyzed cities in West Virginia with a population of more than 5,000 using the latest FBI crime data.
Here are the 10 Safest CITIES in WEST VIRGINIA for 2019:
1. Grafton
2. Charles Town
3. Weirton
4. Morgantown
5. Oak Hill
6. Nitro
7. Fairmont
8. Buckhannon
9. Vienna
10. Bridgeport
Our goal is to combine recent data, fun videos, and thoughts about local culture into bite-sized snacks of shareable information. We call it bite-sized regional infotainment. We try to paint a picture of what’s happening in a region based on “Friday Night Science” — how’d you argue at a bar. To do that, we gather data from around the web to help determine a wide array of factors about where you live, things like safety, desirability, and culture.
