The La Parisienne is an 1889 painting by Félix Resurrección Hidalgo.
 The painting depicts a woman holding an umbrella known as the parasol, a theme similar to Juan Luna's "La Madrileña (En el Balcon)".
 Hidalgo's "La Parisienne" was the first Philippine work of art to be chosen as a cover for Sotheby's sale catalog due to its importance, rarity, uniqueness, and exclusivity.
 Before the painting's appearance at Sotheby's Southeast Asian paintings sale in Singapore on April 6, 2003, the last time the "La Parisienne" was exhibited was at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle.
 It is also the only painting of Hidalgo that was featured on the cover of "La Illustraccion Española y Americano", a popular weekly magazine in Spain.
 It appeared on the Spanish magazine's cover on February 28, 2003.
 Like Luna's "La Madrileña (En el Balcon)", Hidalgo's "La Parisienne" is one of two rare paintings created by famous Filipino artists that have not been viewed for a century by the public.
The Xbox 360 began production only 69 days before launch, and Microsoft was not able to supply enough systems to meet initial consumer demand in Europe or North America.
 Forty thousand units were offered for sale on auction site eBay during the initial week of release, 10% of the total supply.
 By year's end, Microsoft had shipped 1.5 million units, including 900,000 in North America, 500,000 in Europe, and 100,000 in Japan.
The United States two-dollar bill ($2) is a current denomination of U.S. currency.
 The third U.S. President (1801–09), Thomas Jefferson, is featured on the obverse of the note.
 The reverse features an engraving of the painting "The Declaration of Independence" by John Trumbull.
 Throughout the $2 bill's pre-1929 life as a large-sized note, it was issued as a United States Note, National Bank Note, silver certificate, Treasury or "Coin" Note and Federal Reserve Bank Note.
 When U.S. currency was changed to its current size, the $2 bill was issued only as a United States Note.
 Production went on until 1966, when the series was discontinued.
 Ten years passed before the $2 bill was reissued as a Federal Reserve Note with a new reverse design.
 $2 bills are seldom seen in circulation as a result of banking policies with businesses which has resulted in low production numbers due to lack of demand.
 This comparative scarcity in circulation, coupled with a lack of public knowledge that the bill is still in production and circulation, has also inspired urban legends and occasionally has created problems for people trying to use the bill to make purchases.
The Hands Resist Him is a painting created by artist Bill Stoneham in 1972.
 It depicts a young boy and female doll standing in front of a glass paneled door against which many hands are pressed.
 According to Stoneham, the boy is based on a photograph of himself at age five, the doorway is a representation of the dividing line between the waking world and the world of fantasy and impossibilities, while the doll is a guide that will escort the boy through it.
 The titular hands represent alternate lives or possibilities.
 The painting became the subject of an urban legend and a viral internet meme in February 2000 when it was posted for sale on eBay along with an elaborate backstory implying that it was haunted.
The Architect's Dream is a 1840 oil painting created by Thomas Cole for New York architect Ithiel Town.
 Cole incorporated pieces of architecture from Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Gothic styles in various different parts of the painting, having dabbled in architecture previously.
 Cole finished the painting in only five weeks and showed it in the National Academy of Design annual exhibition that year.
 However, the painting was not well received by Ithiel, who refused to accept the painting because they claimed that it was "exclusively architectural".
William Stoneham is an artist and writer who is notable for painting eBay's 'haunted painting' "The Hands Resist Him"
The Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act, also known as California Assembly Bill 390 (A.B. 390) and later Assembly Bill 2254 (A.B. 2254), is the first bill ever introduced to regulate the sale and use of marijuana in the U.S. state of California.
 If passed and signed into law, marijuana would be sold and taxed openly to adults age 21 and older in California.
 Tom Ammiano, a Democrat representing California's 13th State Assembly district, introduced this piece of legislation on February 23, 2009, arguing that the bill will "tax and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol."
 As introduced, this proposal is estimated to raise over $1 billion in annual revenue by taxing the retail production and sale of marijuana for adults 21 years of age and older.
 To obtain a commercial grow license one would pay an initial $5,000 fee, then a $2,500 fee each year after that.
 A tariff of $50 per ounce would also be placed on all sold and grown marijuana.
 The bill has gained much media attention, statewide and nationally.
Josefa Texidor i Torres (also known as Pepita Texidor and Teixidor; 27 November 1875 - 8 February 1914) was a Catalan painter.
 Born in Barcelona in 1875, she was trained by her father, José Texidor Busquets, her brother, Modest Texidor Torres and later she studied under Francesc Miralles.
 Her brother wanted her to dedicate herself to the painting of portraits, but Pepita preferred, from the beginning, the use of watercolours and the painting of cultivated flowers.
 Pepita was trained in music, singing and painting and often travelled.
 She remained single and dedicated herself to family and charity work.
 She participated in many exhibitions in Barcelona and at the Exposition Universelle (Paris, 1900), where she was awarded a silver medal for her flower sprays in "Springtime" and "Autumn".
 She was nominated an honorary member of the ""Union des femmes peintres et sculpteurs"".
 She died at the age of 39 in Barcelona in 1914, after a year of severe illness.
 On 21 May 1914 meetings began to commission a bust for the Parc de la Ciutadella.
 A tombola was held to raise funds through the sale of paintings by her father and brother, along with works from painters of the time, like Lluïsa Vidal, Isabel Baquero, Rafaela Sánchez Aroca, Visitació Ubach, Ramon Casas, Claudi Lorenzale, Santiago Rusiñol, Modest Urgell, Apel·les Mestres, etc.; and works also of dead artists, like Fortuny, Martí Alsina, Vayreda, etc.
 Apel·les Mestres dedicated a poem to her that he shared with all those who attended the inaugural act.
 The bust was designed by Manuel Fuxá and was inaugurated on 14 October 1917.

La Femme aux Phlox, also known as Woman with Phlox or Woman with Flowers, is an oil painting created in 1910 by the French artist and theorist Albert Gleizes (1881–1953).
 The painting was exhibited in Room 41 at the Salon des Indépendants in the Spring of 1911 (no. 2612); the exhibition that introduced Cubism as a group manifestation to the general public for the first time.
 The complex collection of geometric masses in restrained colors exhibited in Room 41 created a scandal from which Cubism spread throughout Paris, France, Europe and the rest of the world.
 It was from the preview of the works by Gleizes, Metzinger, Le Fauconnier, Delaunay and Léger at the 1911 Indépendants that the term 'Cubism' can be dated.
 "La Femme aux Phlox" was again exhibited the following year at the Salon de la Section d'Or, Galerie La Boétie, 1912 (no. 35).
 "La Femme aux Phlox" was reproduced in "The Cubist Painters, Aesthetic Meditations (Les Peintres Cubistes)" by Guillaume Apollinaire, published in 1913.
 The same year, the painting was again revealed to the general public, this time in the United States, at the International Exhibition of Modern Art (The Armory Show), New York, Chicago, and Boston (no. 195).
 The work is now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Gift of the Esther Florence Whinery Goodrich Foundation.
