If you take a closer look at the Washington Monument, you can see the colors are different halfway through it. The color variation is due to the two phases of construction. The lower part was built from 1848 to 1854. When the Civil War started, they stopped the construction due to lack of funds. The upper part was constructed from 1876 to 1884, 2 decades after the initial phase.

Interesting observation I had on professors' opinion on the use of AI (ChatGPT, Bard, etc.): Younger professors (35 and younger) seem to be okay with student's use of AI chatbots in their classes while older scholars (45+?) are completely banning its use or requiring students to ask for permission to use it.

Renting cars in the US
The car you see in the picture is a Zipcar rental and they have cars at parking lots scattered all over the cities. You can use their app to book a car, and it's fairly easy to manage your bookings from the app (unlocking the car, etc.). I rented a Honda CR-V (picture attached) for 2 hours and it cost me $45.16 (see picture for cost breakdown).
P.S. You can use Uzbek Driving licenses up to 6 months from the time you enter the US.

I came across the interview I did with my sister for Voice Of America back in 2022. We discussed American higher education, how to get into universities with a full-ride and more.

This semester, I'm taking a 3-week, 1 credit course called "Mightier than the Sword? Assessing the Human Rights Challenge to Israel’s Apartheid" taught by Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch (his profile). He's a visiting fellow at Georgetown Qatar, and has degrees from both Georgetown and Stanford. So far the course was interesting with a focus on Human rights violations committed by Israel on Palestinian land.

Repetitive tasks will be replaced by AGI, and people will be paid for their creativity in the near future.
