How plunging oil prices are reversing fortunes across Texas. Read all the stories in this series. MIDLAND — Thousands have been laid off. Tax collections are plummeting. Many are on the brink of homelessness.   Rows of drilling rigs and white company trucks sit idle — there’s no telling for how long. And, yet, amid the worst oil bust in decades, the energy capital of West Texas hasn ’t slowed down much. Several oil companies have recently built  office complexes in the area, and drilling continues , albeit at a more sluggish pace. The city plans to build a new convention center, and construction of a municipal courthouse is underway. Several more hotels, apartment complexes and eateries are expected to open   this year, and a second H-E-B grocery store just came online . "For hire" signs are ample, road crews prolific . And people still complain about the traffic. “People from the outside come in expecting to see boarded-up windows, 'for sale' signs everywhere,...

ANAHEIM, CA — Parking at the Galaxy's Edge. That's what it might feel like when you arrive late to the park, and must make the trek from the far reaches of the Toy Story lot. With an onslaught of visitors to its "Star Wars" land opening in two years, Disneyland Resort is adding more parking spaces to its off- site parking lot , it was reported Wednesday.

1. Hairspray vs Hair straighteners I have seen women in Dallas bathrooms open their large Louis Vuitton bag and pull out a full OTHER Louis Vuitton bag jammed with makeup, hair spray, toothpaste, whitening strips, curlers, etc. They’ll then help themselves to a FULL mirror in a crowded bar bathroom at midnight while a line of women waits outside. Houston women would punch you in the face for wasting their time like that or hogging the mirror: All they need is a hair straightener to fight the humidity and a pony tail holder when it’s no use trying to tame that mess of a hair-do. 2. Traffic on 75N vs Westheimer during rush hour. If you are smooth at taking the back roads in Dallas to avoid rush hour , remember Houston doesn ’t have back roads. If you think you are on one, you will likely end up going the wrong way and end up in Cypress, I know this because I tried it yesterday. 3. Most vibrant culture: Montrose vs. Deep Ellum? Growing up in Houston, the vintage buys in Montrose are ...

© Provided by TIME Inc. My typical week of workouts typically means a couple of spin classes along with a weight-training day and the occasional yoga session . Being bored while sweating is my biggest exercise turn -off, which is why I love to mix things up in terms of style and intensity. So when I had the chance to try a Daily Ultimate Training (DUT) class at a UFC Gym in New York City, I thought, why not? If you're unfamiliar with DUT, I can tell you that this workout lives up to its name, that's for sure. The boot camp–style class involves an active warmup followed by a circuit of exercises that test your stamina, agility, and core strength. "These types of workouts replicate the pace of a fight and provide the conditioning to build the best structural foundation for [a fighter's] body to prevent pain and push them to their pinnacle both in and outside the octagon," explained Javier Lee , training manager at UFC Gym SoHo, in an email to Health .

Aug 16, 2017 The first time Captain Noorullah Aminyar traveled to the United States, in 2012, he felt calm and peaceful in a way he never had before. Back home in Afghanistan, he had slept fully clothed , boots on, hand on his rifle. The Taliban attacked every night, and he had to be ready. "But when I come to America," he told me, "I have no stress in America. I sleep good. I tell you, I have no stress. It was really easy. It was a good thing. You feel safe. I was born in the war. I grew up in the war. Always, your life is in danger. You find a little safe time, for sure you'll be happy."

He attended the prestigious Defense Language Institute in San Antonio, the culmination of more than a decade of studying English, followed by a basic infantry officer 's course at Fort Benning, Georgia, with Ame...
