Nobody died, but Ozzy and Sharon separated after nearly thirty four years of marriage.

I got the impression their marriage was as much a business arrangement as anything.

I don't know about that Seoul..



They have three grown children and a grandchild.

Guy Clark (11/6/41 - 5/17/16) ... RIP   ac_crying



One of the great songwriters (and a strong performer) who was one of the linchpins of progressive country and outlaw country.



I'd post a vidclip here, but don't wanna waste bandwidth.  It's going in my Why God Created Trees thread.

I have heard of Guy Clark, but not any of his tunes.

I like some country music, but I don't know Guy Clark.

I never heard of her, but she is definitely too young to die.

....that's close to Kaoshung in Taiwan, one of the most polluted cities on the planet. The article says she took her mask off. Maybe she swallowed the water and died from it (?). Either that, or she was bumped off by the underworld (?). Never know, there's always some mafia involvement in the entertainment industries. Yeah she died kinda young. Makes ya wonder.

I never heard of her, but for the necrophilia-prone members here's an image.

I have relatives in Kaohsiung..



A lot of the polluting industries have been modernized or left Taiwan..



Your opinion of a city you have never seen is outdated..



Kaohssiung is rapidly becoming one of Taiwan's greenest cities..



From Lonely Planet..

Today's Kaohsiung has largely been transformed from grim industrial warrens into a modern urban landscape of shiny cafes, wide streets, river- and harbour-side parks, public transport, bicycle lanes, and cultural venues that have embraced the manufacturing past. There are also two swimming beaches within the city area, and 1000 hectares of almost-pristine forest right on its doorstep.



Since reaching the peak of its polluted image in the late 20th century, Kaohsiung has undergone a remarkable transformation in a short period of time. In this post, I want to introduce Kaohsiung's efforts on several fronts that make it an unlikely eco-city leader of Taiwan.



A City on the Rise



This past December, I attended the first U.S.-Taiwan Clean Energy Forum in Kaohsiung, hosted by the American Institute in Taiwan and the Kaohsiung City government. As the host city, Kaohsiung's efforts to showcase its transition to a low-carbon and environmentally sustainable metropolis were displayed front and center. The following video clip from National Geographic's Megacities TV program introduces some of the measures Kaohsiung has adopted in changing its status from rampant polluter to dedicated reformer



Kaohsiung's transformation is reflected in its ascent up the Mercer quality of living rankings. In a recent Mercer survey, Kaohsiung broke into the top 100 cities worldwide for quality of living and achieved 13th place in Asia. Kaohsiung also earned 13th place in Asia under Mercer's eco-city category, beating out Taipei for #1 in Taiwan. Commonwealth Magazine's 2009 profile of Kaohsiung, From Soot and Smoke to the Sweet Life, pronounced the city first in Taiwan in environmental protection.

I saw a show last year about that Southern Taiwanese city. Their green efforts and transformation are being exported to other cities in Asia.
