The meaning of mowing

Article Abstract:

Domestic lawns have a symbolic meaning in the US. They became popular in the 19th century, and the first US lawn mower was granted a patent in 1868. They came to symbolize virtue and domesticity and there was a hope that front lawns could bring communities together. This did not happen since back yards became the preferred locations for family gatherings. Disputes may arise in communities if members do not tend their lawns. The Canadian Center of Architecture, Montreal, is holding an exhibition on lawns to Nov 8 1998.

The flowers of Kobe

Article Abstract:

A 7.2 earthquake hit the town of Kobe, Japan, in Jan 1995, killing at least 3, 500, and leaving more than 250,000 homeless. The Kansai region had previously been considered a seismically-inactive region, thus many people were unprepared for the quake's devastation.
