An Iraqi teen with autism expresses himself through color. He draws in black since his mother got coronavirus

Nahla al-Nadawi's voice is filled with love as she gently asks her son why the flower he drew is black. © Aqeel Najm/CNN The color black has crept back into Ussayid's drawings. Nahla believes that her son has carried that darkness with him since his father's death. It pains her to have to ask that question. Ussayid, 19, has autism and struggles to verbally express his thoughts, fears, and pain. He does so through colors. "We worked for years to get him away from the black of death," she explains. "But this was his expression of his fear that I would die or that my husband who he considers as a father figure would die."Nahla and her husband Aqil both contracted the coronavirus within days of each other. To get Covid-19 in Iraq means to assume responsibility for yourself, sh...

True Color Of The General Lee Discovered After All These Years

It's orange, but of course, it's not that simple. The holy trinity of famous Hollywood cars is somewhat debatable. There are a handful of vehicles that quality, but the 1969 Dodge Charger known as the General Lee is virtually guaranteed a spot in the top three. Many would argue the orange muscle car is the most iconic Hollywood machine of them all, having dodged the law while jumping every obstacle in Georgia during its seven-season run on The Dukes of Hazzard. But is the General actually orange? © AutoClassics General Lee Big Block The answer is obviously yes, but not all oranges are created equal. For decades there's been debate as to the car's specific shade of orange. Being a Dodge product, many people assumed the car wore a bright coat of Hemi Orange. Folks deep in the Gen...

Should Backsplash Tile Match the Countertop Color? | Home Guides

Designing a kitchen allows you to go wild with your decorating ideas. A kitchen home improvement project puts your creativity on the front burner because the kitchen is a room you'll use throughout the day and provides a central hub for socializing. When you coordinate your design elements and architectural features, colors don't have to match, but they should coordinate. Your backsplash tile doesn't have to mirror the color of your countertops, but it should blend, harmonize and support the rest of the features in the room. Matching Colors When you match backsplash tile with the color of your countertops, the result is a continuous color flow that makes your kitchen appear uniform and connected. For example, cream, beige, brown or gray backsplash tile often matches granite, wo...

2021 Ford Bronco Painted Body Frames Left in the Rain Possibly Reveal New Color

Hype around the recently reinvented Ford Bronco has been tremendous ever since the official presentation in July, and shows no signs of wearing off. Actually, eager fans of the model just keep on making new discoveries. For example, a few shots of some 2021 painted body frames that were sitting idle in the rain at the Wayne assembly facility have turned into a veritable treasure hunt / mystery adventure. While people have been very interested in recent off-road releases such as the reimagined Defender or the Hellcat-powered Ram TRX, not even the impending introduction of the Jeep Wagoneer / Grand Wagoneer has managed to outshine the latest family of Blue Oval rock-crawling experts. Which is probably why people are way more attentive to each possible detail – even if this time around we ...

Fairway Green: A Stunning and Rare Early C5 Color

Seeing one of these rare Corvettes is a treat for the eyes. Towards the end of the C4’s run, Polo Green became a popular hue. Anyone who was alive then knows that, for a brief period in the 1990s, dark green was a popular color for sports and luxury cars. In 1996, for example, Chevrolet sold around 4,000 red Corvettes, and about 2,400 in Polo Green. For the first year of the C5, Chevrolet offered a similar color called Fairway Green. It was brighter and deeper than Polo Green, and it accented the Corvette’s curvaceous new shape well. However, as the world looked toward the impending new millennium, the appeal of green cars softened. Maybe green didn’t seem futuristic enough to ’90s sensibilities. Silver reigned supreme. In 1997, GM sold just 155 Corvettes in Fairwa...

Artists add color to concrete barriers downtown

That gave mural artist Maggie Panetta an idea. “I was envisioning what’s being blocked,” she said. Panetta is one of five artists selected by Threshold Arts to add color to the concrete structures separating outdoor spaces restaurants and cafes have added to adapt to occupancy guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic. “These are going to be here for a while, so why not add some color and vibrancy downtown,” asked Naura Anderson of Threshold Arts. Panetta spent seven hours plotting and painting her design Saturday on the 200 block of First Avenue Southeast and returned to continue her work Sunday morning with a ...

Paint the Port adds color to downtown streets of Freeport – News – Rockford Register Star

FREEPORT — Amid picture perfect weather, and against the backdrop of historic downtown Freeport, the streets were a hive of activity on Saturday during the annual Paint the Port, which saw artists paint 265 squares on city streets.The 4-foot-by-4-foot, socially distanced squares brought families, clubs and other organizations together for an event that raises money for façade improvements at downtown businesses.
