Why Are Nail Salons Predominantly Owned By Vietnamese?

It all started 40 years ago thanks to a Hollywood actress. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, Tippi Hedren, an actress famous for starring in Alfred Hitchcock’s movies in the 1960s, visited a Vietnamese refugee camp in Sacramento.

When she noticed the women there admired her long, polished nails, she recognized an opportunity to teach them a new trade: manicure.

Picture of the Day


The car of a missing college student and skeletal remains were found in Georgia this week in an unsolved four-decade-old missing persons case, authorities said on Wednesday.

On January 27, 1976, 22-year-old Kyle Clinkscales was last seen leaving a bar in LaGrange, Georgia in his white 1974 Pinto Runabout to head back to Auburn University for classes.

Clinkscales never arrived on campus and was never seen or heard from again.

On Dec. 8, law enforcement confirmed they had found Clinkscales’ car in a creek off County Road 83 near Cusseta, Alabama in Chambers County.

The car’s identification matched the 1974 Ford Pinto Runabout that Clinkscales was last seen driving.

While going through the car, 50 different skeletal remains were recovered, along with a wallet — with identification and credit cards.

This might sound complicated but it’s pretty easy. Think of a lamp. If you turn the switch off no current is flowing and the lamp is off. This represents a 0. Vica versa, opening the switch allows current to flow and the lamp turns on. This would be a 1.

Lunita was found dumped on the streets of Salta, Argentina, with nothing but a dilapidated wheelchair and a bag of diapers.
