# Sex and the City (newspaper column)

"Sex and the City" was a newspaper column written by Candace Bushnell for The New York Observer from 1994 to 1996. The column was based on her and her friends' lifestyles living in New York City in the 1990s. An anthology of Bushnell's columns was published as a book of the same name in 1996. The columns became the basis for the HBO television series Sex and the City, which led to the 2008 film of the same name, a 2010 sequel, and the HBO Max (now Max) revival of the series And Just Like That....

## Newspaper column

Candace Bushnell was working as a freelance writer in New York City when her editor at The New York Observer offered her a column. She based it on her and her friend's experiences as single women in their thirties living in the city, "all of whom seemed to have had a never-ending series of freakish and horrifying experiences with men". The column's name, "Sex and the City", is a play on the 1962 advice book Sex and the Single Girl. "Sex and the City" first appeared in the Observer on November 28, 1994. The column became popular and readers would purchase the Observer solely for it. The column has been credited with creating the terms "toxic bachelors" and "serial daters". Bushnell originally wrote the column from her first-person perspective, but later invented the semi-autobiographical character of "Carrie" so her parents would not be aware that they were reading about her sex life.

### Characters

The columns introduced several characters who were included in the television series:
* Carrie Bradshaw, "a journalist in her mid-30s", and conceived around the lifestyle of "balancing small paychecks with access to glamour and wealth". Carrie had no last name until the television series.
* Mr. Big, a businessman and recurring love interest of Carrie. Mr. Big was based on Ron Galotti, the former publisher of GQ and Talk, whom Bushnell had dated.
* Samantha Jones, a "40-ish movie producer" known for dating a multitude of younger men. Bushnell based the character on a friend she described as "kind of an expert on men and dating".
* Charlotte York, an English journalist and friend of Carrie.
* Miranda Hobbes, a cable television executive and friend of Carrie.
* Stanford Blatch, a gay screenwriter and friend of Carrie. Stanford was based on Bushnell's friend Clifford Streit.
* Skipper Johnson, an entertainment lawyer and male friend of Carrie who appeared early in the television series.
* Barkley, a 25-year-old artist who Carrie dates, who appears in one episode of the series.

## Book

A book anthology of Bushnell's columns, Sex and the City, was published in 1996. It primarily focuses on the columns centered around Carrie, and does not include most of Bushnell's early first-person columns or those centered around other characters. It was re-published in 2001, 2006, and in 2008 as a tenth anniversary tie-in edition for the film Sex and the City.

# Hypopomidae

The Hypopomidae are a family of fishes in the order Gymnotiformes known as the bluntnose knifefish. They may also be called grass or leaf knifefishes. These electric fish are not often eaten, of little commercial importance, rarely kept as aquarium fish, and poorly studied; however, species in this family may constitute a significant fraction of the biomass in the areas they inhabit.
These fish originate from fresh water in Panama and South America. The Hypopomidae are confined to the humid neotropics, ranging the Río de la Plata of Argentina (35°S) to the Río Tuira of Panama (8°N). Hypopomids are known from the continental waters of all South American countries except Chile, and are most diverse in the Amazon Basin.

## Description

Teeth are absent on the oral jaws. Unlike the closely related Rhamphichthyidae, species of this family do not have a tubular snout, but a blunt, short one. Also, the nostrils are well separated. This family contains the smallest gymnotiforms, Microsternarchus brevis and Hypopygus hoedemani, which reach a maximum total length of 5.3 cm (2.1 in) and 5.9 cm (2.3 in) respectively. Most other species in the family are also relatively small, less than 25 cm (10 in) long, although the largest, certain Brachyhypopomus, Hypopomus and Steatogenys, are up to 40–50 cm (16–20 in). These fish have extremely small eyes — smaller in diameter than the distance between their nares. The long anal fin originates below or posterior to their pectoral fins, and no caudal fin is present.
The electric organ discharge (EOD) of these fish are multiphasic (usually biphasic), and are produced in distinct pulses. Certain predators, such as catfish and predatory knifefish, are able to detect these EODs and use this to their advantage in finding prey. However, species in the genus Brachyhypopomus restrict the low-frequency spectrum of their electric field close to their bodies, allowing higher frequencies to spread further; this makes it more difficult for predators to detect them.

## Taxonomy and genera

According to FishBase there are nine genera in this family, but a molecular study in 2011 showed that one of these (marked with number sign# in list) should be subsumed into Hypopygus, and a comprehensive molecular study from 2015 showed that two genera (marked with stars* in list) traditionally placed here belong in Rhamphichthyidae. With these changes, six genera remain in the family Hypopomidae and this has been followed by recent authorities.
* Akawaio
* Brachyhypopomus
* Hypopomus
* Hypopygus*
* Microsternarchus
* Procerusternarchus
* Racenisia
* Steatogenys*
* Stegostenopos#

# Thomson MO6

The Thomson MO6 was a Motorola 6809E-based computer introduced in France in 1986. It was intended as the successor to the Thomson MO5 and featured 128 KB of RAM, a 40 × 25 text display, and a new built-in Microsoft BASIC interpreter (BASIC 128). It retained compatibility with its predecessor, while incorporating the same technology as the TO8.
Graphic abilities were expanded compared to the MO5, by the use of the Thomson EF9369 graphics chip. The 16 colour palette could be defined from a total of 4096 colours and extra video modes were available:
* 160 × 200 × 5 colours with 3 transparency levels
* 160 × 200 × 16 colours
* 320 × 200 × 2 colours (allows shifting between two screen pages)
* 320 × 200 × 3 colours and one transparency level
* 320 × 200 × 4 colours
* 320 × 200 × 16 colours (2 colours per 8 × 1 pixels restraint)
* 640 × 200 × 2 colours
In Italy it was sold by Olivetti with minor aesthetic changes, and named Olivetti Prodest PC128. Twenty-one games were released for the MO6. The machine was available until January 1989.

# August Westphal Farmstead

The August Westphal Farmstead is a group of farm buildings located at 6430 Brighton Road near Brighton, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

## History

August Westphal was born in 1833 in Germany, and arrived in this area with his parents in 1844. In 1853 he purchased the first 80 acres of this farmstead, and in 1855 he married Friederike Wilhelmine Christiane Grundmann. The couple eventually had nine children. They originally lived in a small frame house located northwest of the present farmhouse. In 1868 they built a large barn on the farm, and in 1875 constructed the Italianate farmhouse. The farm prospered, and Westphal eventually owned 205 acres.
In 1916, the Westphals retired and moved to another house, selling the farm to Conrad Seim, another German immigrant. The Seim family farmed the property until 1967, when the land was sold to a developer. The farmhouse and surrounding buildings remain on a four-acre parcel.

## Description

The August Westphal Farmstead contains a large farmhouse, two barns, a corn crib and wagon shed, chicken coop, smokehouse, privy, and water-shed, all located in a cluster. The farmhouse is a two-story vernacular Italianate structure with two single-story additions. The house sits on a fieldstone foundation, and is sided with clapboard. The front entrance is through a porch, and includes the unusual arrangement of two separate, arched doors, side by side, with one opening into the parlor and one into the living room. The house is topped with a belvedere. Sawn-wood ornamentation decorates the porches, belvedere, bay window, and the window hoods.
The interior of the house is unusually ornate for a farmhouse, and includes plaster cornices and ceiling medallions, as well as false fireplaces in the living room and dining room with decorative wooden mantels.
