Little known facts

I was reading it: 1080p is for pixels and 1080i is for 'stripes'...basically with 'p=progressive' televisions receive signal in points and with 'i=interlaced' receive signal with stripes. Nothing, I'm working with pc and still I wasn't aknowledge about it.

As of 2005, lawns covered an estimated 63,000 square miles of America -- about the area of West Virginia.

I don't dispute the fact that lawns cover a huge land area in the United States. But my Rand McNally Road Atlas states that the land area of West Virginia is only 24,078 square miles. That compares to Washington State, which is listed as consisting of 66,544 square miles. Something appears to be off in your source material.
 
^ Maybe it was a compound little known fact, involving the areas of the states of the USA :mrgreen:

I followed up on this, and wikipedia states that a 2005 NASA study estimated that lawns in the U. S. cover approximately 128,000 square kilometers (49,000 square miles), so the 63,000 figure is in the ball park. By comparison, my Rand McNally Road Atlas lists Florida as having 53,927 square miles of land area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawns_in_the_United_States

The difference between the two figures is roughly 2.6, which is very close to the ratio between square miles and square kilometers, so my guess is the source somehow used the area of West Virginia in square kilometers.

If you want a bigger discrepancy, a second article about the area of lawns gives the same 63k square miles figure for lawns but asserts that this is the size of Texas.

The apparent source for the 63k figure is:

Milesi, C., et al. (2005). "A strategy for mapping and modeling the ecological effects of US lawns." J. Turfgrass Manage (1): 83-97.

There were NEVER ever THAT many people speaking Russian in downtown Barcelona but, most importantly, of such middle class diversity: first there were the wealthier ones, attracted by BCN's overblown glamorous reputation canned by Natura Bissé, much like the case or Berlin... then, after the last ruble crisis, more average, more adventuring middle class ones could be spotted now and then; now the Russians seem just, finally, another Western community: the students; the glamorous, adventurous, modern chicks; the young families blown by the bnb air; the tourist rat pack; the [exiled...] young happy gay couple...
