The Ennis House is a residential dwelling in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, south of Griffith Park.  The home was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Charles and Mabel Ennis in 1923 and was built in 1924.  The design is based on ancient Maya temples, and along with other buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, such as the A. D. German Warehouse in Wisconsin and Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House in Hollywood, the Ennis House is sometimes referred to as an example of the Mayan Revival architecture.  Its prominent detail is the relief ornamentation on its 27,000 perforated and patterned decomposed granite blocks, inspired by the symmetrical reliefs of Puuc architecture in Uxmal.  The Ennis House is a designated city, state, and national landmark.  Although used as a shooting location as early as 1933 (Female), the house first acquired morbid fame providing the exterior facade for the House on Haunted Hill, a 1959 B movie.  The 1975 film The Day of the Locust made extensive use of the house as a private residence, but it was in 1982's Blade Runner that the house gained a popularity of its own among moviegoers, even though only the main character's arrival at the motor court was actually shot at the Ennis House.  Its exterior also appears as "The Mansion" occupied by Angelus, Spike, and Drusilla in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Sections of the cathedral reminiscent interior, especially the elevated dining room and fireplace, have appeared in over a dozen films including The Karate Kid Part III revealing the view of downtown Los Angeles, Black Rain, The Glimmer Man, The Replacement Killers, Rush Hour substituting for a floor of a Hong Kong skyscraper, and The Thirteenth Floor.  The house has also been used as a location for commercials, fashion magazine shoots and music videos, including 3T's "Why" featuring Michael Jackson.  S Club 7's video for the single "Have You Ever" shows the band members living an everyday life in the house and Ricky Martin music video song "Vuelve".  Impressed by the house, filmmakers either recreated original elements of the Ennis House on sound stage sets or vaguely imitated these as in Predator 2 and several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  After shooting the exterior scene on location for Blade Runner, the interior of Deckard's apartment was created at Warner Brothers.  In the case of The Rocketeer, sections of the Ennis House were recreated in detail, including the patterned art glass, on a studio set.  The Rocketeer went as far as adding an upper floor.  On a smaller scale, tile casts of the block relief ornamentation were used for the Club Silencio doorframe in Mulholland Drive.  David Lynch used the interiors of Ennis House for a few segments of the show Twin Peaks in which the soap opera show-within-a-show called Invitation to Love. The house has also appeared in episodes of HBO's television update of Westworld.  The mini series I Am the Night (TV series) also feature the Ennis House (2019) with actor Chris Pine.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennis_House   

Florida Man is an Internet meme, popularized in 2013, in which the phrase "Florida Man" is taken from various unrelated news articles concerning people who hail from or live in Florida.  Internet users typically submit links to news stories and articles about unusual or strange crimes or events occurring in Florida, particularly those where "Florida Man" is mentioned in a headline.  The stories call attention to Florida's supposed notoriety for strange and unusual events.  The Miami New Times claimed that freedom of information laws in Florida make it easier for journalists to obtain information about arrests from the police than in other states and that this is responsible for the large number of news articles.  A CNN article on the meme also suggested that the breadth of reports of bizarre activities is due to a confluence of factors, including public records laws giving journalists fast and easy access to police reports, the relatively high and diverse population of the state, its highly variable weather, low literacy rates, and lack of mental health funding.  The meme originated in February 2013 with the Twitter account @_FloridaMan, which quoted notably strange or bizarre news headlines containing the words "Florida man", such as "Florida man run over by van after dog pushes accelerator" or "Police arrest Florida man for drunken joy ride on motorized scooter at Wal-Mart".  The account referred to 'Florida Man' as the "World's Worst Superhero."  Before the creation of the meme, the state of Florida had already garnered a colorful reputation on the Internet, with the social aggregation site Fark hosting a 'Florida' content tag in the years before the Twitter account @_FloridaMan appeared.  After the creation of the account in January 2013, and its ensuing popularization on social media sites such as Reddit and Tumblr, initially through the subreddit 'r/FloridaMan' and the Tumblr blog 'StuckInABucket', the meme was featured in numerous news articles and stories throughout February 2013.  'Florida Man' was also referred to in the opening episode of Season 2 of the FX show Atlanta as a sinister entity, referred to by Darius as an "Alt-right Johnny Appleseed" who commits a variety of strange crimes in Florida as part of a plot to keep black voters out, portrayed by Kevin Waterman.  On November 1, 2018, Desi Lydic of The Daily Show filed a report comedically investigating the phenomenon of "Florida Man".  A play titled "Florida Man" by Michael Presley Bobbitt premiered July 31, 2019, at New York's Theatre Row Studios.  In 2019, a variation of the meme developed on social media, in which people were encouraged to look up "Florida Man" and the date of their birthday, typically finding a bizarre news report involving a 'Florida Man' on that date.  The "Black Judas" who turns in the title characters for reward money in Queen & Slim (2019) and played by Bertrand E. Boyd II, is credited as "Florida Man".  On October 31, 2019, President of the United States Donald Trump was reported as changing his main residence from New York City to Palm Beach, Florida, the location of the Mar-a-Lago resort he owns and frequently visits.  Sources joked about Trump becoming 'Florida man', including The Daily Show, which released an extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that changed all instances of Trump's name to "Florida Man."  On October 24, 2020, during his rally for Presidential candidate Joe Biden in Florida, former President Barack Obama mocked Trump, saying, "'Florida Man' wouldn't even do this stuff", referring to Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his handling of domestic and foreign affairs.  American classic rock band Blue Öyster Cult referenced the phenomenon in the song "Florida Man" on their 2020 album The Symbol Remains.  The maintainer of the Twitter account @_FloridaMan stated in 2019 that he had "retired" from creating tweets at that account.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Man   

Cooking in Spain, Ryan Bartlow has learned to respect humble eggs.  In his fourth Slow Food Fast recipe, Spanish-style soft scrambles become a gorgeous vehicle for stir-fried wild mushrooms and shrimp.  “Does anyone hate scrambled eggs with mushrooms?” Bartlow asked.  “And why not add shrimp?  It’s a simple, soft and rich umami bomb.”  It’s as delicious as the other ingredients, but the eggs literally hold this dish together, so be careful when handling it.  Egg yolks and whites should not be completely broken down.  “I want a streak in the bowl,” he said.  “It gives the texture and the appearance of marble.”  The chef further cautioned against overcooking.  He turns off the burner on the way and finishes the scramble setting with the residual heat of the pot.  The pot itself should be small enough so that the eggs do not spread too thinly and cook too quickly.  About 9 inches is enough.  Stir while cooking to control how the eggs harden.  Find recipe at https://texasnewstoday.com/this-chefs-trick-produces-the-best-scrambled-eggs/409415/   

Omnia vincit amor is one of the most famous of all Latin expressions.  It is also one of the most used ones still today, both in the original Latin, in translation and in its familiar “altered” version Amor vincit omnia.  Every other author throughout history has used it, paraphrased it or translated it.  It has been used as book titles, as mottoes, it has turned into songs and films, jewelry, postcards and fridge magnets.  The expression originally comes from the Roman poet Virgil, or Publius Vergilius Maro.  Virgil was born the 15th of October 70 B.C in Andes, part of modern Pietole, near Mantua in Italy.  He is most famous for his grand epos the Aenid.  The phrase Omnia vincit amor, however springs from his first work, Bucolica or Eclogae.  "Love conquers all; let us, too, yield to love!"
