Students (in Mr. Payne's English 1111) worked on interviewing older generations regarding views on success. Having completed a rigorous analysis, they were then tasked with condensing their extended 3 to 5 page paper to one page and have it recorded to broadcast. Here are the finalists:
Everyone wants to succeed, whether it's in school, your job, or just life in general. Succeeding isn't always about becoming a millionaire or getting an A on a test. Success is only defined by an individual and what they believe is succeeding for them-self. This also means that succeeding is not all the time considered "good", because often times people will accomplish their goal, however it's not always beneficial to other people or to the world.
While success may have a definition in a dictionary, it doesn't really have an exact definition in life because every person has a different interpretation of success. Someone considered to be in the upper class may see having the biggest house to be successful while another homeless person may see going through one night without being murdered as being successful. Although most people have family to help them out in life, its ultimately up to an individual person to accomplish their goals. Loved ones aren't going to be with someone throughout every decision they make in their life, so we have to learn how to be successful on our own. "Success in your life is up to you, measured by the effort in what you do" (Creamer, Iola. 4 September 2016.)
Trying to understand success is very difficult, but trying to achieve it is another thing. We can only achieve success by one simple thing, work. If work isn't put in when you're trying to achieve a goal then you're never going to accomplish it. Ruth Burr was born in 1919 and has lived through many things, including the Great Depression. From this experience alone she states, "If you don't work hard nothing will get accomplished and you won't achieve success." (Creamer, Iola. 4 September 2016). From the time she was just a child to now she has learned many things, including hard work. She has truly lived out the definition of both hard work and success. She still continues to strive for her best even today at 97 years old.
Very rarely do we come across a person who considers them-self to perfectly successful. There's always something in your life you wish you could go back and do differently, but this rule does not apply to Ruth. She feels as if she has lived her life to the best of her ability. One bible verse that has helped her achieve her goal is Proverbs 12 verse 24: "Work hard and be a leader, lazy and become a slave". This is a very short meaningful verse that has helped Ruth throughout her life, and with it she accomplish her goal of success.
Ruth's best advice on success is that you need determination and faith to achieve success. You stand alone, every person determines their own goal and what they achieve in life."You can't just sit around and wait for things to come to you. If you feel the need to accomplish something then you must have the strive and willpower to do it."
Success is extremely infantile. In order to explain this I interviewed Jane Doe, a principal at Springfield High School. She stated that by doing what you want when you want to is one of the key ways in being and becoming successful.
Jane Doe was the youngest of seven children. She grew up in a time where making ends meet were tough. As she got older she realized that she was not expected to do much, and that no one would notice if she was successful or not. Jane Doe said that she had always been praised by her parents for being a varsity athlete, but was never encouraged to try or do better at anything else until her third grade teacher saw her potential and continued to push her academically. The teacher sends her handwritten notes every year; they gave her courage to go to college. Jane's parents never wanted her to go to college, but doing what was best for herself, she went to Wright State University without telling anyone. Things would have stayed that way too, but her name was in the paper for honor roll, and she hit a deer and needed her car fixed. Jane Doe was then a gym teacher at North High School in Springfield, Ohio. After years of teaching physical education, she was offered the principal job at North. I asked her if she had ever aspired to be a principal while working in the building. She responded with "No, I never wanted to be a principal, it was never something I strived to do." I asked Jane if she would do anything differently. She responded with a clear no, and one final thought. "Don't worry about the other people. They may be a part of your life, but they aren't living your life. Live for you, take chances for you, because if you don't, you'll be stuck in the same spot forever, thinking about what you could've done."
This past month I interviewed my mom in depth about what she believes success is. In modern American culture, there are many obvious ways by which we measure success… these almost always include money, power, and some level of material possession. Contrary to this norm, my mom was adamant that the definition of success was one thing: happiness.
There is a saying: "If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?" I believe that this saying goes very well with the notion of success. It is hard to feel successful if no one cares or even knows about the things you do that you consider successful. So, is it even possible to feel successful when you're the only one who cares? To my mom, she would say yes, it is possible; success is based off of happiness, health, and family. She believes that if her family is happy and healthy, then she feels successful. She says "There's a lot of layers to success, there's personal, there's family success, there's career success. So I would say the meaning of success would be if you are content with your life at that point and time."
Happiness is unable to be measured by anyone other than the one experiencing it, so if nobody else can see your "success" or "happiness", what is the point of being successful at all? The truth is you can't have one without the other. In my opinion, believing that success is solely "being content with what you have" is crazy. In life, there will always be competitions, athletics, schools, pageants, awards, etc. If you never win, how can you be happy with failing every time? Constantly saying "I tried" is not enough. You can not be happy if you are failing. One may say that they don't care what others think about them, but I do not believe that.
People always say, "money can't buy happiness." The grass is greener on the other side. Happy people who have nothing wish they had the material possessions that others have, while those with the material possessions may admit that there is still something missing in their lives.
No matter if you have material things or you don't you still may not feel one hundred percent successful. We are the tree that falls in the forest and the sound is success -and if no one notices then it doesn't even matter. So happiness and success is truly being recognized by others. It is not found within us, but in other people.
Hello, I am Austin Rude and I will be reading a reduced form of my Interview analysis over success.
Success is a word with many definitions and depending on who you ask, each time you will get a different perspective and explanation of what the word means to them. The sheer amount of definitions of success is limitless. Every single person you ask will have their own unique perspective on success.
My interviewee's perspective of success was to set realistic goals for yourself that you must work at and eventually achieve. Not only should you achieve your goals but you should grow from the experiences you gain while progressing to achieve them. During the interview I had with my interviewee they stated "Attempting your goal once and failing and then giving up is being lazy, never expect to finish your goals the first time, if you do then it's too easy," (Personal Interview, 2016 September 18). If the goals you set were realistic then it should take you multiple tries to complete, no realistic goal is out of your grasp. Every goal you achieve should take effort and perseverance. Of course, some goals are not realistic and may be out of your capable potential, once you come to the realization that a goal is too hard and unrealistic then just switch, find a new more realistic goal that interests you. Setting realistic goals and realizing that some of your goals are out of your grasp takes wisdom, the more you grow the more wisdom you will gain to determine and set new goals.
Success comes in many shapes and forms, every vision of success is different and unique. Everyone has their own perspective of what success is and how they achieve that success. Even if you fail the first time, that's okay. Success is about growing while you achieve your goals. Practice makes perfect, the more you strive for your goals the more you will grow and the more knowledge and wisdom you will gain to help you achieve your goals.
All your life, you have spent your time devoted to being 'successful." But what is success, and whose standards is it measured by? In the following interview, my interviewee was asked questions that dealt with success.
According to Jane Doe, success is measured in many things. Success is a balance between work and family. While you wish to be successful at your job, you must be willing to sacrifice your time for family. This means you must put your family members before yourself, and be present when with them.
Success also means achieving goals. To achieve goals, you first must set goals. Your goals could range from anything. It can be getting out of bed in the morning, running a marathon, being president, or doing something for your job. Jane believes your goals should help others along the way. Your goals should not only serve you, but serve others as well.
Your education ties into success. While being successful in Jane's eyes doesn't necessarily mean going to college, she also believes you should have as much education as possible for yourself. "Take the education that's given to you and learn from it and continue to learn from it for the rest of your life."
Jane wishes happiness on everyone. She believes anyone who sets goals and works for them can be successful. Jane states that even if you fail at your goal, you still learn from it. In our interview, she says to never give up and keep trying at your goal. What you put in is what you're going to get out. You're either going to be positive or negative, and that's for you to decide. Jane believes you have to work to get that balance of family/work/happiness to be successful. She believes it takes setting goals, working for them, and helping others achieve their goals to be successful.
Success is a construct developed by the figment of our imagination to invent the feeling of happiness. Who is to say if success is even real since it might come from our imagination?
Everybody's feeling of happiness comes from different things. After doing my interview, the interviewee showed me that success is something we heavily rely on to make us happy. Though, what does the definition of success rely on? It would have to rely on our imagination.
Our view of success is set up to help us achieve to the best of our ability. Failing is not a great feeling and is the complete opposite of happiness. This doesn't mean we won't fail because everyone makes mistakes. "The interviewee said that if you don't learn from your failure, that you won't be able to accomplish much." Failure is a part of how we excel towards achieving our goals.
Having success and being happy is a part of our everyday life. Even though it is a part of our life, we still have trouble describing and defining what success is. For some people it's not about winning, it's about how hard they tried to get there.
Throughout the interview, the interviewee said four different categories repeatedly that deal with being successful for him. Those categories are money (how we used it), everyone has a different opinion, awful things can be successful but not necessarily right, and health is a huge success over everything. This shows me he really doesn't know what success is.
We say we are successful without truly looking deeper into the meaning of success and trying to understand what we are actually saying. How can we say we are successful when deep down we really don't know what success is?
Our imagination controls what we do and what we want to do. Therefore, it controls our success. It helps us create goals that we know we can achieve and will make us happy in the end. Since there are so many different definitions, we can't prove that success really exists. There is no proof where our definitions of success are derived. If they did come from our imagination, we can't prove that our imagination exists. Our imaginations come from something we can't physically prove.
In conclusion, is our imagination restricting us from doing what we believe is impossible? Lastly, will we be able to prove success is something real or will it just be something that is a just idea created by our imagination?
Would you be happy if you hurt someone to succeed? Would it be worth it to hurt someone to succeed? Interviewee, Jane, said, "If you try to break the rules or try to cheat or hurt others in order to get it, it lessens it." Everyone can achieve success if they create a plan, follow through with the plan, get past all the obstacles and if they put their heart into it. You may not get it the first try but you will get it if you keep trying.
"Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure" (Hill, N/A). One of biggest things that holds people back from succeeding is fear of failure. When people fail the first time, they won't try again for fear of failing again. It is okay to fail, we learn from failure all the time. If no one failed, we would never learn anything new. "Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because they felt he lacked imagination and had no good Ideas." (Sugar, N/A) Walt Disney became one of the most successful person in the world and he failed at times. People have made big discoveries when they failed. You don't need to cheat, lie or hurt someone in order to succeed the first time. It is pointless.
No one can control what a person should succeed in and what that person should do. If the person is not happy with themselves, why make them suffer? People see successes differently. Someone may see this as a success but someone else could see it as a failure. For example, someone got last place in a race but their time was better. Someone could think "I did awful because I got last place". Someone else could think "I did great because I beat my time." Everyone is given the power to succeed because everyone has a different opinion about any given situation. So is there a point for people to make other people feel horrible to do something they get satisfaction from?
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, success is the fact of getting wealth, respect, or fame, or the correct or desired result of an attempt. However, for many, success depends on one's professional and personal stability, and also contribution to others. Let us start with professional success, for without it, it can be difficult to have personal success, and thus make general success hard to achieve.
Professional success, as described by my interviewee, whose name shall be changed to Clara, is stability in a job that you are good at and enjoy. A job's ability to support you also plays a factor; a minimum-wage job that you love is almost as bad as a high-paying job that you hate. It's finding a mid-range between financial stability and happiness that creates that stability.
Personal success can be achieved in multiple fashions. For some, personal success is becoming wealthy and powerful. For some, it is giving to others. As Clara said, success is being in a position that you are good at and enjoy. However, you have to be good at being good. "You can't be a successful killer and be successful." If you excel at killing and it makes you happy, good for you; however, it doesn't help society at all.
To achieve success, sometimes you have to fail. Learning from your mistakes is one of the best ways to reach the top. Either that, or don't make any mistakes, but as Einstein once said, "if you've never made a mistake, you've never tried something new." Fall sometimes. Get back up and use what you learned to do better the next time.
Success is a delicate subject, but it can be fairly well summarized as thus for me and my interviewee: A stable financial and personal state in which one is happy. Your level of happiness and your standing in society set you apart from the rest. How you, as a person, are satisfied is reflected in your attitude. This is success.

Travertine tile has been used for thousands of years. Chances are if you picture Italian architecture, you are picturing travertine tile. Several ancient Roman monuments were made with travertine, including the Colosseum. Today, homeowners in the greater Buckhead, Atlanta, Midtown area choose travertine tile to add a natural, rustic charm to their living areas. Floor Coverings International Intown Atlanta is here to help as you consider the design opportunities travertine tile has to offer for your home.
What is Travertine?
Travertine tile causes some confusion due to its naming variation as well as its natural stone and ceramic or porcelain options. Travertine tile is sometimes referred to as travertine limestone or travertine marble, but these names refer to the same product. Natural stone travertine is a type of limestone, which is a sedimentary rock. Contrary to naming conventions, it is not a type of marble.
Travertine forms in hot springs by deposited carbonate minerals. Yellowstone National Park is one location with naturally occurring travertine stone. Within the tile industry, travertine originates from Italy, Turkey, Iran, Mexico, and Peru. It is mined from quarries as large stone blocks, which are then cut and honed into various sizes.
Uses in the Home
Travertine has a light color palette ranging from ivory, to beige, to light golden brown. The natural stone tile has a random shade and texture variation, providing a unique look. The edges are often slightly rounded, and the surface of travertine can have holes and depressions depending on how much the tile surface was honed. This weathered look is popular for use in outdoor areas such as patios or walkways. Travertine tile is also used for indoor flooring, backsplashes, and walls.
Travertine tile absorbs moisture due to its porosity. Because of this, as well as its light color, it stains easily when not properly sealed. Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners when cleaning travertine tile. We recommend cleaning simply with a broom and damp mop. For areas which need moisture-resistant tile consider using porcelain or ceramic options with travertine coloring.

Our design associates can help you select the best tile during your free in-home design consultation. We bring hundreds of tile samples straight to your home in our mobile flooring showroom.

And from this (Isaiah 60:21) "and your nation are all righteous and will inherit the earth", The earth that was said about her (Isaiah 66:1) "and the earth is like rest for my feet"
This refers to the Shechina, that includes Ten Sefirot and from that Israelites are called kings, righteous, seers, prophets, masters of Torah, heroes, kind hearted, knowledgeable, wise, leaders of the people. These are ten attributes to the Isarelites for their connection to the Shechina. Because the Shechina is parallel to Zeir Anpin on our Malchut level, the Israelites reflects the upper dimensions.
The permission is given to those souls of the righteous that is always with The Holy One Bless be He and the Shechina to dwell in your (Rabbi Shimon) writing of the Zohar.
It said (Proverb 27:10) Like a bird wonders from her nest so is the man wonders from his place, and the bird refers to the Shechina that sent away from her place and for that it said (Deuteronomy 22:7) You shall send the mother and take the sons for you. That include the Shechina of the lower level. The mother is the upper level Shechina. In Isaiah 3:1 we read "because of your sins, your mother was sent away. And for that "you shall send away" twice, one for the first Holy Temple and one for the Second Holy temple, in order to make true to the verse "I am YHVH and my name and honor won't be given to another. "I wont give" that is Shechina below and "my glory" that is the upper Shechina. So the Holy One Bless be He wonders from his place, which is the Holy Temple. When it said YHVH is a man of war, it is for the need to wonder because of the sins of the Israelites.
The secret that is revealed here is about the spirituel system. All that exists is in oneness with God. There is a cause and effect system in existence.That affects all the worlds. YHVH wonders from its place, which is the Holy Temple with the Shechina.
This part the Zohar is specifically described as a tool to maintain the unification of the YHVH ???? and Shechina ADNY ????. The Tikunei Zohar replace the missing Holy Temple and the work of the high priest. The righteous that study and taught the Zohar throughout the generations kept the Unification of the Light, upper, and the vessel, lower, the Shechina to hold the presence of the Light in our world through the Zohar writings, especially the Tikunei Zohar.
Also Moshe is a men that wonders from his place and his souls wonders behind the Holy One Bless be He and the Shechina.
Moshe as the finest of creation corrected the sin of Adam, an act that no righteous man ever did. Know that Malchut is the "?" of Moshe, ??? and the secret of the fiftieth gate that is called a "path that was not known to the hawk."
Also a righteous person leave his place to follow the Shechina, as it said (genesis 8:9) "and the dove couldn't find rest".we know that the houses of the righteous decreed to be destroyed when the Holy Temple was. Everyone of them got out of their place like the slave wish to be like his master. The secret of the word "go out of his place" for the bread and bread is the words of Torah. The slave follows the bread, his master, the Torah.
The master go out of their place to follow the Torah, the Light that guide them.

African export success: finding the needle when you're not sure which haystack
Export success in Africa is a matter of finding a rare Big Hit, with the added complication that it won't stay a hit, and that in a few years you will need a new Big Hit.
This from a new NBER working paper by Ariell Reshef (U. Va.) and myself. We also tell some stories of the individual successes, some of which involve the local government.
The news is not that Africa is different from the rest of the world in this, but that it's the same.
This unstable uncertainty holds regardless of whether you include or exclude oil, minerals, and other export commodities. And so does the concentration of success -- the top-ranked non-commodity export is 23 times larger than the 10th ranked export.
The stereotype of African countries as unchanging mono-exporters based on some unchanging natural endowment just turns out to be...wrong.
Coping with such remarkably high and unstable uncertainty (the "unknown unknowns") as to what will be a hit seems like an a priori case for a lot of decentralized, highly motivated seekers and experimenters. We don't exclude ANY possible government involvement -- at the very least, governments need to be nimble to adjust regulations and infrastructure to support any new success that comes along from private entrepreneurs.
In sum, we think there is just as much a role for entrepreneurs in Africa, and just as little role for centralized and systematic government industrial policy, as in the rest of the world.

Andrea Hewitt has sought advice from New Zealand's most successful triathlete in her quest to secure a medal at the Rio Olympics.
Hewitt and Hamish Carter went running last week in Cornwall Park and she chatted to the 2004 gold medallist ahead of a third crack at the Games podium.
Carter's victory in Athens remains one of New Zealand's finest Olympic moments because it emerged from a duel with countryman Bevan Docherty, who took silver.
Hewitt's new coach Chris Pilone, who coached Carter to his triumph, is understood to have negotiated the arrangement.
"He [Carter] showed me the loop he ran [in his Olympic preparations]," Hewitt said. "He told me we've got to go around this tree, that tree, over this fence. There wasn't actually a path. At one point I asked, 'why are we running through this field?' and he said 'I don't know, this is the way I used to run'.
"It's always cool to get advice from someone like Hamish. With him and Chris Pilone there, it was like old times coming back."
Hewitt recently completed a training camp in Christchurch with fellow Olympic contender Ryan Sissons (also mentored by Pilone) and a number of other athletes.
She started the season strongly with second in the New Plymouth World Cup sprint event and backed up with third in the Gold Coast World Triathlon Series event over the Olympic distance and fourth in Yokohama yesterday.
Hewitt will now travel to the Pyrenees on the French-Spanish border to train at altitude before competing on the local grand prix circuit. It is her first return to France since the death of her partner and former coach Laurent Vidal in November from a heart attack.
She will stay at Font-Romeu, a village whose average elevation is 1800m and is over 2200m at its highest point.
Hewitt hopes a hillier course in Rio, the likes of which favoured Carter and Docherty in Athens, might also help.
"My experience last year suggested it was tough. I hope they've cleaned up the roads. It was a bit dodgy on some of the fast descents down narrow roads. I'm hoping it's safe but the run is flat along the esplanade, so it will still be a fast course."
Hewitt was the first New Zealand athlete selected for the 2016 Olympics, having met the qualification criteria at the end of last year.

Teacher Tuesday: Honoring Ms. Jamieson/
Last week I heard that a sorority sister passed away. Â It is tradition for the sorority to have a ceremony sending our sister off to heaven. Â I was not able to make it though I was trying my best to see if I could. Â I didn't know this woman but as is with the bonds of sisterhood, felt obliged to pay my respects. Imagine my surprise when I see the obituary and realize that this was my high school business teacher! Â The one that helped me type at a million miles an hour and introduced me to word processing. Â I remember going to these business conferences. Â She's partly responsible for my organization and slight OCD!
I remember Ms. Jamieson as a no nonsense kind of teacher. Â But underneath that, I could tell she really cared about her students and she went out of her way to make sure that we learned what we needed to learn. Â She was funny though if you were busy being a clown in class, you'd never know it.
Needless to say, I remember her fondly. Â This situation has reminded me once again of how short life is. Â But I've also had the opportunity to reflect back on all of the teachers that made a difference in my life. Â I almost feel bad that I have had so many of them while some have had none but that just makes me feel even more thankful.
I think being a teacher is one of the hardest jobs you can do. Â It brings with it great rewards, though. Â I wish that we held the position in a higher esteem than we sometimes do.
I've always counted myself as lucky when it came to teachers. Â I feel that I was blessed to have some pretty great ones throughout the years. Â Those that molded me, that took what they saw and made it better. Â Those that simply helped me grow a little more. Ms. Jamieson was definitely one of those teachers. I wish I could've told her while she lived but, I know that, looking down from heaven she's giving me that look she used to give with that half smile that told me she was pleased.
May you rest in peace, Soror.

EU wants to transform European car industry into the top player in the global green vehicle market, and also to ensure that electric vehicles can be recharged right across the Europe with the brand new green car-action plan. The main idea of this green car-action plan is to promote adoption of clean and fuel-efficient vehicles and to accelerate the development of new low-carbon vehicle technologies.
EU plans very delicate strategy that would be able to ensure just the right balance between the need for securing the future competitiveness of European car industry with the long-term goals of reducing the amounts of greenhouse gases and other pollutants connected with cars.
The important part of this strategy is also the desire to encourage the use of electric vehicles across the Europe which includes proposals to develop common standards for electric cars so they can be charged anywhere in the EU.
Despite the significant development and massive investments into the European transport infrastructure Europe is still struggling to significantly reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution. According to experts the main reason for this is the fact that people now travel much larger distances with their vehicles than they have in the past.
European Environment Agency (EEA) executive director Jacqueline McGlade also noted that "today, we can see that the extensive investment in transport infrastructure over the last 10 years has enabled us to travel further to meet our daily needs, but has not led to a decrease in the amount of time that we are exposed to noise, congestion and air pollution. In the future we will need to focus not only on the mode of transport, but also the reasons why people choose to travel, because ultimately mobility is inextricably linked to our quality of life."

Rail gazing: on staring and subway etiquette
After a short ride or two on a New York City subway, you can observe the most interesting collection of culture that NYC has to offer; just don't stare for too long.
"There's always something crazy to see. Instead of watching TV, I watch the people on the train," Devin Gonzalez, a daily F-train commuter and stealthy people-watcher, said. "It's also the only place where I can get to know someone's armpit better than their face," he added.
A convenient, affordable and reasonably efficient form of transportation, the subway welcomes an eclectic crowd of characters who can either enrich or spoil a commute. From rowdy teenagers and trendsetters to sprawled out hobos and grassroots performers—for a New Yorker, rubbing elbows with people you would otherwise never cross paths with is a daily occurrence.
As unnatural as this all seems, it doesn't typically take individuals too long to ascertain how to behave on an NYC subway.
"I only look at people for a few seconds and then I look away. I don't want people to know that I look at them. It would be too weird," Shelby DeMarco a Manhattan bound J-train commuter, said. DeMarco admittedly memorizes every MTA advertisement in an attempt to quell her wandering eyes.
In a space so small, it often seems as though patrons make a collective effort to avoid eye contact. With every other aspect of comfort stripped away, the illusion of personal space is kept sacred through a mutual respect for others' peripheral vision.
There are, of course, the exceptions: curiosity inspires commuters to be spectators without rubbernecking, and tourists are generally excused for their goggling tendencies.
"I'll see someone playing a fun video game, and yeah I'll usually check it out," Peter Ellis, a self-proclaimed pro in the art of casual staring, said. He also explained that as long as passengers look bored, they can blankly stare at most anything on the train without consequence. "You got to pass the time somehow," Ellis added.
The art of staring is a vital part of NYC's subway riding culture, but the difference between a casual peek and an unwelcome stare can sometimes be measured in nanoseconds.
Is this insanity? Let us know in the comment section below.


text: I continue to write about loss and grief. My grief reconciliation and recovery articles are posted on the Open to Hope Foundation website and EzineArticles. Right now I am trying to sell a book about grandparenting. It's an uphill battle in a down economy. Why do I continue to write? One reason is to track my feelings, but it is the lesser reason. The main reason is to help others. When I attended The Compassionate Friends Conference in Bloomington, MN last summer, I was struck by the power of shared grief and healing. Reaching out to others gives new purpose to my life and I just submitted two presentation proposals to two organizations. While I hope my proposals are accepted, it is't imperative. Helping others is what is important to me. If you want to share your feelings, or challenges, or successes, please post here. I will read every word!

chanel (my friend designed) | agate | pomegranate
So, this weekend I'm suppose to take the plunge and finally order the iPhone 6. It is time for an upgrade but it took me a minute to wrap my brain around another phone change. And quite honestly, I'm still debating between iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Anyways, getting a new phone comes with getting new phone accessories, particularly new iPhone 6 cases. I've always been the type of girl who changes her case with her outfit, which got me thinking about what I'm going to "dress" my new phone in. So, I've round up a few of my favorites from Society 6.
Here are a few others I like...polka rain, carpe diem, real marble, bubble, peonies, and BIGGIE.
Have a fab weekend!
xo, Yolonda

Annapolis, Maryland // The Time We Got Fake Married/
My friend, Macy, owns an incredible wedding and event planning business called Enchanting Events & Design.
When Macy asked Brandon and myself to be models for her styled shoot last December, I was BEYOND excited but also like, "Wait. Really? Why?" cause we're really bad at being models. I feel super awkward in front of a camera and when we were taking photos for our ACTUAL wedding, we couldn't stop cracking up because trying to be serious and romantic with a camera in your face is super awkward.
But I agreed because I ADORE PLAYING DRESS UP. So FYI to anyone who ever needs someone to come try on their beautiful dresses and jewelry and get their hair done, I volunteer as tribute for the rest of my days.
I know Brandon likes playing dress up too sometimes (; But don't tell him that I told you that. It's so weird to see photos of Brandon with short hair. This was clearly before Team Man Bun began.
So we got up at the crack of dawn and drove down to Annapolis, which is is absolutely stunning. It was the beginning of December so everything was all decorated for Christmas, which made it feel so magical.
I was SO excited that Megan was there because she's just fantastic, you guys. She has such a sweet heart. If you tell her something sad, her eyes well up with tears and you know she's WITH YOU in the pain. If you tell her something happy, she gets this huge smile that makes you feel so loved and cared for. She's the kinda person where you know she's with ya in whatever you're going through. She goes after life with gusto and passion, and she inspires me every single time I spend time with her. Plus, she's super adorable. We made the job of our amazing photographer, Mandi (what's up with all the M names, you guys?) so difficult because we could NOT stop cracking up every time we had to look at each other. (So I guess I'm not just awkward with Brandon. I guess it's everyone. Oops.)
Seeing Macy in her element was amazing. When she's at work, she's flawless, people. Literally flawless. She is such a total lady boss that it inspires the crap outta me. She knows exactly what she wants and how to get it done. She's so confident and she makes EVERYTHING a celebration. Her passion for working behind the scenes is just a testament to heart that is centered around other people. It's evident that Macy just wants to make other people the star of the show. It's clear even just being her friend-- like when she plans days that are full of fun for us or remembering every little detail that you mentioned 5,000 conversations ago. It's SO clear that she is SO gifted in making other people feel special. Macy is the definition of fun.
Her vision for the day was incredible. I wish I had met her before I got married so she could have planned our wedding. Even just doing a styled shoot gave me a taste of how fun and effortless she makes any event. I'm trying to convince her to be my life coach. I'm not sure her business has branched out that way yet, though (;
This was also where I met Mandi, our photographer. Immediately, she was so sweet and made being in front of the camera SO EASY. She told us exactly what to do and made posing fun, instead of awkward and stressful. She was so easy to talk to, and we realized that we actually grew up down the street from each other and my aunt was her 3rd grade teacher. Small world, right?! We loved her so much that we knew we had to have her do our anniversary shoot.
I loved all the little details from the day. From the invitations to the jewelry to everything in between, the details are what made this styled shoot so incredible. Our fake names for the day were Madison and Nathan. I think we made a really great Madison and Nathan, don't you? :P
It was such a blast to just play dress up all day. I got to try on a completely different dress, which HAD POCKETS, Y'ALL. It was so much fun! I also got to wear a veil, which is something I wish I would have done in my own wedding, so it was magical to wear a veil for the first time.
It was the middle of December so it was absolutely freezing outside. But that didn't stop up from lugging a gorgeous sofa to the water for photos. Now I totally understand when models say that modeling is hard work. It is. Now where's my personal assistant to fan me as I lounge dramatically? (;
I absolutely cherish this day. It was such a unique opportunity to hang out with friends, support them in following their dream, get awesome photos and play dress up. It was basically a win-win for all involved.
So why I recapping all this now, if we did all of this in December? 1. I am a total procrastinator. Sorry, world. and 2. We just found out really exciting news....
This photo shoot is going to be featured in Southern Celebrations Magazine! I AM SO EXCITED. Guys, it is so exciting to see a dear friend work SO HARD and love her job so much, and to see her get amazing results is priceless. When we got the news, we did such a happy dance for Macy and Mandi because they are SO GOOD AT THEIR JOBS and it is a DELIGHT to see them get recognition they 100% deserve. UGH. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
It comes out in November and you can pre-order a copy in September! It'll also be on their website for some further inspiration! EEK! SO EXCITED!

Animal Zone International, in cooperation with the Municipality of Amorgos, will be conducting a sterilization program for stray cats on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 of November 2018. The cost of the program will be covered by Animal Zone International and the Municipality of Amorgos.
We are asking anyone who is aware of stray cats in their area to contact us at the following numbers:
Animal Zone International's office: 22850-71716
AZI's program coordinator: 6974990045
Owners who do not wish their cats to be sterilized are kindly requested to keep them in their home on the two days when the program is being conducted or to place a collar around their necks so that our volunteers will not catch them.
As a reminder, according to Law 4039/2012, Article 5, Item g: The owner of the dominant pet is obliged to take care of its sterilization if he does not wish to keep the newborn animals or can not dispose them to new owners. He is also required to ensure the microchip and the recording of his animal as well as to issue a health booklet, but also to place a metallic badge on the collar of the animal, which is provided annually by the veterinarians during the annual rabies vaccination.

But with Green Bay pinned deep in its own territory, Michael Bennett came up with a big play that gave Seattle even more breathing room. With Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga leaving the game with a knee injury in the first half, backup Derek Sherrod had his hands full with Bennett, who forced a sack and fumble of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Sherrod recovered the ball in the end zone and was tackled by Seahawks defensive tackle Tony McDaniel for a safety with 4:42 left in the third quarter. Blew right past Green Bay backup right tackle Derek Sherrod, playing with Bulaga done for the night. — Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) September 5, 2014 It's Bennett tho this time abuses Sherrod, forcing a fumble that Sherrod recovers for a safety — Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) September 5, 2014 Bulaga's injury proving to be a pretty critical factor in this game. — Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) September 5, 2014 The ensuing free kick set up a nine-play, 53-yard drive by the Seahawks that was capped off by a 3-yard run by Marshawn Lynch that gave Seattle a 29-10 lead early in the fourth quarter.

I came across this article in my Parenting magazine and I thought I'd share it here. I know so many people that are always complaining about their in-laws complete with an eye roll and exasperated sigh, that I found it refreshing that someone actually wrote about liking her mother-in-law (although not at first). I can't say that I've ever gotten naked in front of my mother-in-law besides an ocassional boob show while breastfeeding my littles, but I do love my mother-in-law and feel very lucky to have her in my life. I'm thankful that she raised her youngest son to be the man he is today and I plan on learning her techniques as I raise my own son to be a gentleman. She has loads of experience having had four boys who are all wonderful men and like the author, I did marry her youngest son.
The article
We struggle with a language barrier, but it's getting better as I learn more Spanish (along with my daughter) and she learns more English. My mother-in-law can usually understand me quite well, but has a hard time responding back in English and it's the opposite for me. I often wonder if we'd be closer if I was fluent and I make a pact in my head to be better at learning her language. My sisters-in-law are great about translating when they are around and my mother-in-law and I have formed our own way of communicating about the Littles since she is our daycare provider, but I hope to one day be able to pick her up and go on a shopping trip and carry a conversation without any awkward silence. I want to be there when she shares her recipes with my daughter (her only granddaughter thus far) and teaches her how to work the grinding machine for her famous pasteles. I'm hopeful that when these days come and I understand what she's muttering about me under her breathe, I still love her as much as I do now!

Are trainers and coaches being replaced by a 99 cent app? I knew it was only a matter of time. You can now download iPocket Coach for your Apple iPhone. This Web 2.0 tool promises to give managers "the guidance they need to manage their people - on demand." Clearly, technology is changing the field of
management training and development as fast as it is changing everything else in our lives.
I'm intrigued by this idea of making helpful advice easily accessible and timely. Much of the time, it is impractical for managers to wait for their next scheduled training session or even for their next coaching session...if they even have a leadership coach. Managers need just-in-time alternatives and more can be done to use technology to prepare managers for learning and to sustain that learning over time. However, I bristle at the notion that all they need is a list of recommended behaviors on an iPhone to get through the next difficult management situation.
The marketing video at the iPocket Coach site is a great example of the best and worst aspects of instant coaching. In the video, a manager uses the app to prepare herself for a difficult performance review conversation with one of her employees. That's fine; however, we can't tell from this short demonstration if she asked helpful questions, gave useful responses, or made this a learning opportunity for the employee. And the supervisor of the manager, who pops his head in the door to remind her that she should have the performance review and then he returns later to make sure it was done, displays a very typical but very poor example of supervision. He's the problem, not the manager who needs a little guidance on conducting a performance review.
I believe Web 2.0 tools of all types, including iPhone apps as well as wikis, blogs, Twitter, and other social media, have tremendous potential for supporting manager learning and leadership development. As with any new technology, we need entrepreneurs who are willing to experiment with new learning tools in the marketplace and then continuously improve these tools. At the same time, we need to continuously ask ourselves, "Are we oversimplifying the learning process to the point where we might be doing more harm than good?"

The inspiration for Invitación a Volar (Invitation to Fly) began with the Cuban trova song Son de Cuba a Puerto Rico by Pablo Milanés and the poem A Cuba by late 19th Century Puerto Rican writer Lola Rodríguez de Tió. Both reflect on the metaphor of these Antillean lands as being "the wings of a single bird"--unable to successfully fly without the cooperation of both sides.

Radioactive debris from melted fuel rods may have seeped deeper into the floor of a Japan's tsunami-hit nuclear reactor than previously thought, to within a foot from breaching the crucial steel barrier, a new simulation showed Wednesday.
The findings will not change the ongoing efforts to stabilize the reactors more than eight months after the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant was disabled, but they harshly depict the meltdowns that occurred and conditions within the reactors, which will be off-limits for years.
The plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said its latest simulation showed fuel at the No. 1 reactor may have eroded part of the primary containment vessel's thick concrete floor. The vessel is a beaker-shaped steel container, set into the floor. A concrete foundation below that is the last manmade barrier before earth.

'Posh' British team sparks row over class divide
Britain may be basking in Olympic glory, but at the "People's Games" many of the host nation's team come from privileged families and compete in costly sports.india Updated: Aug 07, 2012 14:46 IST
Britain may be basking in Olympic glory, but at the "People's Games" many of the host nation's team come from privileged families and compete in costly sports.
A disproportionate number of British competitors at London 2012 were educated at fee-paying schools, and the government faces growing calls to tackle the perceived elitism of top-level sport.
Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter Zara Phillips - who won a silver medal in the three-day eventing - was following a tradition of British royals competing at the Olympics, but one of her schoolmates took home a medal too.
Heather Stanning, who with Helen Glover won Britain's first gold medal of the Games in the women's double sculls, attended the elite Gordonstoun boarding school in Scotland, where Phillips also studied.
Some 20 percent of Britain's team were privately educated, and in rowing, sailing and the equestrian events -- all British specialities, and all seen as expensive pastimes -- the figure rises to a third.
In contrast, just seven percent of the overall British population attend fee-paying schools, with the other 93 percent studying at state-funded institutions.
British Olympic Association chief Lord Colin Moynihan last week condemned the dominance of private-school-educated athletes in the British Olympic team as "one of the worst statistics in British sport".
"There is so much talent out there in the 93% that should be identified and developed," said Moynihan, who is himself an aristocrat.
Calling for a dramatic overhaul of school sports policy, Moynihan said it was "wrong and unacceptable" that so many top British athletes came from private schools.
Alan Bairner, Professor of Sport and Social Theory at Loughborough University, said a combination of factors was responsible.
"One is that they have incredible sports facilities at the private schools, and specialist coaches," he told AFP.
"In contrast, there's no doubt that in state schools today there are fewer opportunities to play sports of all sorts than there were thirty or forty years ago.
"State school teachers felt that they were being exploited by taking teams to matches on Saturdays and so on, and they cut down on the commitment they were willing to make -- which of course hasn't happened in the private schools."
Several of Britain's most exclusive boarding schools are famous for their ability to produce Olympians.
With 130 coaches, an Olympic-sized pool and pitches that are regularly used by international teams, Millfield School in south-west England has produced five members of the British squad.
Three others -- including rower Lawrence Clarke, the heir apparent to a baronetcy -- attended Eton College, the former school of Prime Minister David Cameron which is hosting the Olympic rowing at its Eton Dorney lake.
In the allegedly "posh" disciplines of rowing, sailing and equestrianism, Bairner said the dominance of private schools came partly down to money and facilities, and partly down to working-class perceptions of the sports.
"A lot of people at private schools may have had the opportunity to sail or to row -- whereas if you live in inner-city Birmingham, I imagine you're a long way from your nearest sailing club," he said.
"But it's also that, while in theory a sport may be perfectly accessible, in reality people exclude themselves and say: 'This is not for us.'"
Simon Dickie, youth manager at British Rowing, said the sport suffered from a long association with boarding schools and the elite universities of Oxford and Cambridge -- but laboured to recruit talent from different backgrounds.
"Rowing does have a posh image that I don't think we'll ever totally eradicate," he admitted. "But we can work hard to have a more balanced approach."
The sport runs talent-scouting operations in schools and universities, and has placed rowing machines at 2,000 schools to encourage interest from an early age.
"At the Atlanta and Sydney Olympics the vast majority of our athletes started rowing at an independent school, but at London 2012 more than half of the British rowing team came from the state school sector," Dickie told AFP.
Some of the biggest British stars of these Games hail from modest families -- heptathlete Jessica Ennis' parents are a decorator and social worker, while runner Mo Farah was born in Somalia before his family came to Britain. He attended a state school in London.
But Bairner said the British track and field squad was particularly diverse because of the relatively low cost of discovering a talent for athletics.
"The basics of running, throwing and jumping, are things that one can do cheaply compared to having a boat to sail in," he said.
One result of the lingering class divide in sport, he warned, is that there is likely to be a pool of untapped talent in Britain.
"For a sport like tennis, for example, which is pretty elitist and very white, there must be potentially much better players out there," he said.

Hall of Fame Features Stellar Lineup of Speakers
Pre- and Post-Event Parties Planned
Weedsport, NY (June 30, 2017) — The stars will be out! Hall of Famers will be introducing Hall of Famers during next month's induction ceremonies at the Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame.
The 26th annual induction program honoring the Class of 2017 will take place Monday, July 10 at 7 pm in the Hall of Fame and Museum, on the Weedsport Speedway campus in New York. The event is free and open to the public, with both pre- and post-program celebrations planned.
The legendary "Barefoot" Bob McCreadie — a Hall of Fame inductee in 2006 and one of the most beloved drivers to ever race the DIRT circuit — will do the honors for his friend Alan Johnson. Although McCreadie and Johnson were fierce competitors on the track, they had nothing but respect and admiration for each other once the wheels stopped turning. Both are considered innovative mechanics; neither was ever afraid to try a new radical setup — even at a treacherous track like Syracuse, where they each have won "the big one."
"While I have to struggle like hell to learn anything, Alan works strictly off his instincts. He's a natural," Bob acknowledged, back when the pair were practically unbeatable in the '80s. "I watch him every week, and I'm in awe of him."
McCreadie will take the mic, to share remarks and road stories, when he introduces Johnson prior to his induction into the Hall of Fame.
Each one of this year's guest speakers has a very personal connection to an honoree.
If any driver could be considered a future Hall of Famer, it's Matt Sheppard, whose stats assure he'll be a shoe-in once he reaches eligible age for induction. But Sheppard will be the first to tell you that he owes a lot to 2017 HoF driver Steve Paine, the fellow Waterloo, NY, racer who gave him his start in a Sportsman car and generously shared his insights on setups and success. Matt will pay homage to his mentor in opening comments.
Fond memories of the late pioneer driver Freddy Adam will be recalled by Geoff Yoder, a former Pennsy car owner, vintage racer and AARN columnist who revered "The Kutztown Komet" as a kid, and later had the thrill of Adam actually driving his Modified at the Reading Fairgrounds.
The great Budd Olsen was among the first class of Hall of Fame drivers, back in 1992. His son, Doug, will recount his long relationship with this year's HoF car owner Randy Ross, who recorded the majority of his wins — including three Super DIRT Week victories — in Olsen-built cars.
One of the most prolific and versatile drivers of the modern era, 2016 HoF inductee Billy Pauch knows a good thing when he sees it. That's why he was onboard from the get-go, when Rich Tobias Jr. debuted his USAC SpeedSTR and wildly successful Wednesday night program at Kutztown, PA's Action Track USA. Pauch, the reigning Action Track SpeedSTR champ, will supply the backstory as Tobias receives the 2017 Mechanic/Engineering Award.
Longtime DIRTcar official Gaston Salvas was on the road with Pat Ciolfi for 14 years, with Salvas serving as competition director and Ciolfi as chief technical inspector on DIRTcar's 358 Modified circuit. Pat's personal and professional friendship with Gaston will color his introductory comments as Salvas is honored with the Leonard J. Sammons Jr. Award for Outstanding Contributions to Auto Racing.
Area Auto Racing News publisher and journalist Lenny H. Sammons will be making the paper's Monday deadline down in New Jersey, so he will be presented with the Andrew S. Fusco Award for Media Excellence during the next night's Hall of Fame 100 SDS race. Sammons gave award-winning writer Buffy Swanson her first byline back in 1979, and she will say a few words about his dedication during the formal ceremonies.
RUSH series announcer Brian Spaid, also a former TV reporter, PR director and racing correspondent, has been working with Vicki Emig since 2012. He'll share his behind-the-scenes observations of this dynamic promoter, as she is recognized as the Hall of Fame's 2017 Outstanding Woman in Racing.
The 7 pm induction ceremonies will be preceded by a "Happy Hour" from 5-6:45 pm, under a tent just outside the Museum. Event MC Shane Andrews will get the night started with "fly-by" interviews of notable guests. Videos of past HoF and racing events will add to the atmosphere. Food, beer and wine will be available for purchase.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies, the party will move to the beautiful Weedsport Speedway pavilion, where honorees and attendees can continue to eat, drink, socialize and enjoy video presentations.
The following evening, July 11, Weedsport Speedway will present its Super DIRTcar Series Hall of Fame 100 for the big-block Modifieds.
For the second year, a special Hall of Fame commemorative program has been produced, featuring the history of the Hall of Fame and Museum, a complete list of all HoF drivers and award winners in the past 26 years, a rundown of past HoF race winners, as well as stories and photos of all 2017 honorees. All profits from sale of the $5.00 program book benefit the Museum.

Despite the phone efforts by the flacks over at Amazon (AMZN - Get Report) , the reality is that the digital beast is increasingly wrecking bricks-and-mortar retailing.
In fact, Amazon is probably licking its chops at the real estate it will be able to digest over the next 25 years from failed retailers. What was once a distribution center for Sears (SHLD) will probably be a flagship Whole Foods that is testing mind-blowing new shopping technology. What was once a Kmart store will be nothing more than a place for Amazon to hawk exclusive, limited-time only Nike (NKE - Get Report) sneakers that self-tie. How else could one at least partially explain the fresh bankruptcy filing by the iconic Toys 'R' Us? The toy retailer has done about all it could over the last five years to get people through the door. But the fundamental truth is that visiting Toys 'R' Us is a waste of time in the internet age where finding the lowest possible price, and a broader selection of goods, is only a swipe or click away. Heck, this was reaffirmed to me this past weekend -- I went to pick up my two-year old niece a doll and couldn't find the exact model at two Toys 'R' Us locations. Talk about moments of rage.
The sad situation at Toys 'R' Us sheds light on some seriously scary data on retail right now. More than 5,300 store closing announcements have been issued so far this year, according to Fung Global Retail & Technology. That's TRIPLE the number of store closings on a year-over-year basis. Fung Global Retail & Technology estimates about 10,000 stores will be closed by year end, up 361% from the prior year.

Ode to Honeycrisp - By Dorothy Rages
Ode to Honeycrisp
God makes some amazing fruit that is perfect simply as it is. Each is unique and created especially for our enjoyment and our body's use. Think of the difference between a banana and a kiwi, a persimmon and a pineapple, a watermelon and a cherry, a pomegranate and a mango. Today, I bought one tremendous apple. It was the kind of apple that makes your mouth water just looking at it. Okay, it was $2.49 a pound and I didn't bother to weigh it. All I knew was that I was going to share it with 2 special people, and it would be worth every penny.
I was not disappointed. When my husband and son came in for a break from fence building, I was ready with my jewel of an apple. It was freshly washed. I pulled out my favorite knife and a clean cutting board. As I cut down through it, there was the unmistakable sound of crispness and a subtle aroma of autumn. It was a Honeycrisp. What a fabulous name for this pink and peach colored beauty! Yes, this is the creme de la creme of apples. The first bite said it all. It was a "moment to remember": the loud crunch, the zing of honey sweetness beneath its skin, the trickle of juice running down my thumb, and the perfect balance of tartness. Whoa! All we could say was "Ummmmm". Pure health in every bite. What could be better? No need to cook, mash, add sugar, or fry. Eat it fresh and slowly savor every bite. But most of all, share it with someone you love.

La Plant Oral History
The La Plant Oral History Project
The following videos are a series of interviews conducted from 2014 to 2015 in the town of La Plant on the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation, located within South Dakota. Generously supported by the College of Arts and Sciences and the English Department at Fairfield University, the project is the result of our cooperative partnership with the community of La Plant and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
episode one: We are Lakota
As Lakota, the people of La Plant believe that their identities in daily life are at all times intertwined with the sacred. But in the late 19th century, by U.S. law, they were forbidden from engaging in Lakota spiritual practices. Only in 1978 was this law lifted. As the stories show, daily spiritual practices and participation in sacred rituals continue to heal and strengthen personal, communal and cultural identity.
episode two: Politics
Grounded "in traditional spirituality, culture, language and history," the activist organization AIM (the American Indian Movement) was founded in 1968 and was part of the Red Power movement of the Civil Rights Era. AIM's goal then and now is to fight on behalf of Native Nations for tribal sovereignty.
episode three: Early memories
Individuals featured in this episode either grew up in La Plant, other towns of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation, the Standing Rock Reservation, or a town just outside of the Reservation.
episode four: American Indian boarding schools
Indian boarding schools were introduced in the late 19th century. They were replicated throughout Indian country by the U.S. Government and private mission schools. Their educational goals only began to end in the late 1970s.
episode five: wakanyeja: "sacred little ones"
The people of La Plant have dreams of a beautiful future for their culture, a future grounded in Lakota traditions and values. The community is working to provide cultural activities for the children to affirm and take pride in who they are: Lakota.
In partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences at Fairfield University, and the community members of La Plant who long to preserve the Lakota culture.

The London War Memorials
English Heritage cares for six of London's finest First World War memorials. We prepared new List descriptions for these in 2014 which highlighted their history and national significance. They are either listed at Grade I or Grade II*. Here you can find out more about them.
The Cenotaph
During the First World War, millions of combatants simply disappeared in the explosive reality of modern static warfare. Those dead which could be found were laid to rest in 'some corner of a foreign field'. The grief over the absent dead was profound. For the July 1919 Peace Parade in London, a temporary structure was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as a fictive national tomb, where parading soldiers could pay their last respects to the dead. This memorial so caught the public and political imagination that it was rebuilt in stone in 1920.
Today the Cenotaph is still the focus of the nation's remembrance each November, and it now honours the dead of all subsequent conflicts. Lutyens' timeless classical design avoided imagery or bombast with its neutral form, enabling the griever to project their own personal associations onto the memorial. Modest in size, it stands in the heart of Whitehall: a daily reminder of the sacrifices made for the nation.
Royal Artillery Memorial
This memorial is widely regarded as one of the truly outstanding memorials of the First World War anywhere. The memorial commemorates the 49,076 members of the Royal Artillery who lost their lives in the conflict. Artillery played a dominant part in the fighting on the Western Front.
Unveiled on 25 October 1925, the memorial represents a 9.2 inch howitzer in Portland stone, on a base designed by the architect Lionel Pearson. Around it stand heroic bronze figures of different ranks of gunners: a lieutenant, a shell-carrier and a driver. A greatcoat-draped corpse lies at the north end. The reliefs around the base depict different forms of artillery warfare, from trench mortars and anti-aircraft guns to heavy batteries. The sculptor, Charles Sargeant Jagger, had won the Military Cross as an infantry officer on the Western Front. No other memorial is as dramatic and brutal in its depiction of modern warfare.
Machine Gun Corps Memorial
The Machine Gun Corps (MGC) was a unit of the British Army, formed in October 1915 in response to the need for the more effective use of machine guns on the Western Front. They were known as 'The Suicide Club' as it fought in exposed positions and suffered disproportionately heavy casualties. Proud of their contribution to victory, the MGC (which had been disbanded) wanted its role in the fighting fully marked after the war.
The sculptor Francis Derwent Wood was commissioned to create a memorial. Unveiled in 1925, his design took the strange form of a Renaissance-inspired nude statue of David. Placed over minutely depicted Vickers machine guns, the statue placed male beauty and human vulnerability alongside the technology of killing. Derwent Wood, however, was as familiar as any with the grim impact of warfare on the human body. He spent much of the war making prosthetic masks to help to disguise the wounds of disfigured casualties.
Field Marshal Earl Haig
Commander-in-chief of the largest British army ever assembled, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig (1861-1928) led his forces to eventual victory on the Western Front. Still a controversial figure, due to the costly battles of attrition such as the Somme, Arras and 3rd Ypres, debate surrounded his memorial too.
The concept came from the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, soon after Haig's sudden death following a riding accident in 1928. The sculptor Alfred Hardiman, was commissioned to design a realistic portrait of the former cavalry officer, capless, mounted on a stylised horse, in a classical tradition. Haig's widow led the call for a likeness of Haig's favourite mount Poperinghe instead. Forced to make new versions, Hardiman was nearly ruined by the project but it was finally unveiled in 1937.
Among the last of the great equestrian statues of military commanders, the memorial shows the challenges of inter-war sculpture, which attempted to reconcile modernity with tradition, as well as the sheer challenge of making sculpture.
Edith Cavell Memorial
In 1915 Norfolk-born nurse Edith Cavell was shot in Brussels by the Germans for helping Allied soldiers escape. In her trial, she confessed to these deeds, which were in clear breach of German military code of occupation, and of the first Geneva Convention. That said, her execution was portrayed as an example of German barbarism, and it became a rallying call for Allied recruitment campaigns across the globe.
A statue of Cavell, set against an austere granite monument, was carved by the renowned sculptor Sir George Frampton. It was unveiled by Queen Alexandra in 1920 outside the National Portrait Gallery in St Martin's Place. War memorials to individuals are few: memorials to women even fewer. Perhaps the most renowned female casualty of the First World War, Cavell's final words of reconciliation, "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness for anyone" were added to the memorial in 1924 at the insistence of the National Council of Women.
Belgian Gratitude Memorial
The German invasion of Belgium in August 1914 triggered Britain's entry into the First World War, as it violated the 1839 Treaty of London, which had guaranteed Belgian neutrality. Many Belgians fled to Britain to escape the Germans, and many thousands of refugees spent the war years here. In recognition of these two factors, the idea of a memorial as a thank-offering was conceived by Belgians during the war.
Located opposite Cleopatra's Needle on the Victoria Embankment, it features a fine bronze group depicting Belgium, 'instructing her garland-bearing children in the need to recall British protection and valour'. The artist was the prominent Belgian sculptor Victor Rousseau, who had himself been a refugee in London. Its setting, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, included figures of Justice and Honour. The unveiling by Princess Clementine of Belgium took place on 12 October 1920, the fifth anniversary of Edith Cavell's execution. A reciprocal Anglo-Belgian memorial, created by Charles Sargeant Jagger, was erected in Brussels in 1923.

Was the Whitehall Cenotaph Made of Wood?
Its design and stone fabric suggests solid durability. Yet this permanence was not originally intended: the Cenotaph started life as a temporary wooden memorial.

Indoor rowing is a great aerobic exercise that can add variety to your training routine while engaging more than just the legs.
First learn to setup the equipment for proper use.
Good video instruction. I recommend you watch is a couple of times before jumping into a machine.
Now your ready to row, learn how to do it.
I started including the rowing machine while reading the first Tess Monaghan mystery, Baltimore Blues.
Phase 1–Drive (strong and quick)
Phase 2–Recovery (smooth and relaxed)
So after you've done a few minutes you will want to get some coaching about good form (what not to do). I found this video helpful and clear plus there are driller to help you improve.
For the experienced, none beginner, rower you'll want to do some sprints. This video from the same folks above lays it all out for you. I like to do a 10 pull sprint every 2 minutes but you should research this because I don't know what I'm done :)

I am certainly over the moon in appreciate with pink Christmas and can't resist sharing some of my sweetest pals gorgeous Pink Christmas properties! She donated a tree produced of some of my holiday collection to the Heart of the Catskills' annual raffle to advantage homeless pets. If you love tradition Christmas colors with the elegance of gold foil this collection is for you and it involves ivory, red and green papers. A black pine cone wreath is gorgeous all year round, but in particular fitting in the course of Halloween.
I was worried about the pattern being a bit much, but when it was comprehensive and the accents added on, points genuinely came together. To stamp just the dust element you can either ink up just that area on the stamp or you can lay a piece of paper down as a mask so the photos of the trees do not stamp. Make certain that it will suit your activity—whether that be watching Halloween movies, trick-or-treating, or dancing the night away.
Even though it does have some simple structural limitations, the spacing of the beads allows for several variations in netting, like the addition of accents in quite a few sizes. Save dollars by using faux-fur only as an accent or by finding faux-fur products in a thrift retailer and recycling them. Mira and Bianca thrilled me quickly immediately after Belle Blanc For The Enjoy of White was released with the news there would be a vacation inspiration book to stick to.
Use these exact same two flower sets but swap out the bloom, colors and greeting for diverse season or holiday for a enjoyable, go to style in no time! I pierced a handful of accents and embellished the flakes with pearl for some shine and dimension. If you don't have equivalent components in your stash, try combining some of your favorite accents together.
Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Retailer and I have a Christmas card to share with you applying one of the New Christmas stamps sets from the Stamp Basically Clear Stamps collection and gorgeous Graphic 45 papers. This set ALSO coordinates with Fabulous Vacation Fillers and Triple Play Frame Choices, solutions! My electric fireplaces are price saving, power-efficient home accents that not only add atmosphere, but also heat a area for just pennies a day.
I employed pattern paper from the Carta Bella Merry Christmas Gold Foil 12×12 collection. Just about every Home Accents product is protected with exclusive ColorHold® acrylic technology for superior weatherability and color retention – and that suggests each shape will keep its organic look long into the future. I agree to receive the Accents home furniture emails containing news, updates and promotional gives. Adding home accents to any space is an simple way to make a major statement, devoid of spending a lot!

Reports have begun to surface about Syrian President Bashar Al Assad's security forces arresting doctors and pharmacists who have been supplying medical treatment to protesters at state hospitals. The city of Homs is pummeled with tank fire and heavy artillery, causing the most destruction in one location to date. As punishment for repeated human rights violations, Syria is suspended from the Arab League. Hundreds of thousands of supporters, of the Syrian government, have turned up in Latakia, hometown of embattled president Bashar Al Assad, to rally against the decision of the Arab League. Consequently, security forces during the night have conducted early morning crackdowns on thousands of homes known to be safehouses for opposition leaders. Syria Human Rights Watch condemns the crackdowns, but their calls fall deaf on the international community. Less than a month has passed since the Libyan Civil War, which culminated in rebel victory when Muammar Gaddafi was killed on October 20th. Invigorated by the outcome in Libya, Free Syrian Army rebels are amassing in droves to continue the liberations of the Arab Spring.
The day has come for you and Jeremy to take Nazir's car and driver into Syria. You are traveling with very little gear this time because you are trying to be as mobile as possible. Michael has arranged for a fixer named Fadi to meet you once you arrive in Damascus. From there you will begin to head north towards Homs. You are trying to minimize the amount of time you spend near Hezbollah and regime-held areas. You've heard the Syrian government is indiscriminately detaining scores of civilians and you don't want to be one of them. You and Jeremy enter Nazir's car. You drive through the fertile hills of the Bekaa Valley, passing olive oil plantations, pomegranate orchards, and wine vineyards. There are no check points and you don't stray far from Nazir's area of control. Everything goes according to plan until you notice a wave of Hezbollah trucks funneling through the same border you are trying to cross. You can see the sense of dread on your driver's face. As you slow down and wait for the extensive queue of vehicles to be permitted or prohibited into Syria, you see many of the Hezbollah guards getting off of the trucks and setting up checkpoints, securing the area with guns and intimidation. You and Jeremy look at each other and realize there is a choice to be made.
