Santayana is popularly known for aphorisms, such as "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", "Only the dead have seen the end of war",[4] and the definition of beauty as "pleasure objectified". Although an atheist, he always treasured the Spanish Catholic values, practices, and worldview in which he was raised.[citation needed] Santayana was a broad-ranging cultural critic spanning many disciplines.
"Those who don't learn from history we are doomed to repeat it."
- George Santayana

Undoubted star and absolute crowd favouite was Williams Mercedes driver George Russell, he was pushing his lowly williams to places that could hardly be believed mixing it with the upper mid field runners. Support in the grandstand was exceptionally vocal for the 21 year old from Norfolk every time he came past.
George Francis Moutrey Hardwick (2 February 1920 – 19 April 2004) was an English footballer, manager and coach. During his time as an active player, he was a left-sided defender for Middlesbrough. He was also a member of the England national football team, playing in 13 international matches and serving as the team's first post-World War II captain.
In 1947, the nations of Great Britain joined together to form a football team, which Hardwick captained and led to victory (6–1) against the rest of Europe.
Owing to a knee injury Hardwick had to terminate his international career after 12 matches. He is held in high esteem by Middlesbrough fans, and is regarded as the greatest defender in the club's history.
After his career as a player, Hardwick served as player manager for Oldham Athletic and manager for PSV Eindhoven, and, from 1959 to 1961, the Netherlands national football team. He later managed Sunderland A.F.C. and Gateshead.
Today his legacy lives on in the form of The George Hardwick Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping carers, former carers and patients. The Patron is his wife Jennifer, who cared for George during his latter years. They have three main sites at Stockton, Middlesbrough and The University Hospital of North Tees.
Yet another pop/rock icon suddenly and unexpectedly dies in 2016. Not really a fan of George Michael -though I still have a couple of Wham! singles from way back- but it's always sad to see someone pass away before their time.
As with Prince, I know many of his numerous fans will miss him but, from a personal point of view, the big losses musicwise for me this year were Bowie, Cohen and Alan Vega. Of course, a big deal was made about four of those deaths but, unfortunately, the recent death of Rick Parfitt (Status Quo) as well as those of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) were hardly noticed nor acknowledged by many.

Fort George, is the mightiest artillery fortification in Britain.
An Outstanding Artillery Fortification
Fort George is quite simply the finest example of 18th-century military engineering you’ll find anywhere in the British Isles. This vast garrison fortress was begun in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden (1746), which crushed the final Jacobite Rising. It took over 20 years to complete and in the event it was never attacked. It remains virtually unaltered today, and still serves as an important military base.
Countering the Jacobite Threat
The Jacobite Rising of 1745–6 proved to be the last attempt by the Stewart dynasty to regain the British throne from the Hanoverians. Following Culloden, fought just 8 miles (12km) from Fort George, the government introduced ruthless measures to prevent such a Rising happening again. Fort George was one of them, named after King George II (1727–60).
It was designed as the main garrison fortress in the Scottish Highlands, holding two field battalions and staff officers (some 2,000 men) and an awesome armament of over 80 guns….
An Active Army Base
Fort George never fired a shot in anger. Later in the 18th century, after the Jacobite threat had evaporated, the fort became a recruiting base and training camp for the rapidly expanding British Army. Many a Highland lad passed through its gates on his way to fight for the British Empire across the globe. Between 1881 and 1964 the fort served as the depot of the Seaforth Highlanders. The regimental museum of the Highlanders (Seaforths & Camerons) is there today. So is the British Army.
Fort George is the only property in the care of Historic Scotland still serving its original purpose.

The fortification is based on a Star design.

My Love is playing with his new toy our granddaughter bought him for Father's Day..
Remember this guy, diagnosed with dementia and could not hardly do anything but sit in a chair and stare down..He was so sick and his wife was so very worried, but they both knew a God who would listen when they prayed....He has been absent from Flickr since 2012 becasue he wasn't able to be here..He lost 50 pounds and had so many things wrong with him, it seemed all hope was gone......But like I said we both knew a God.......OUR GOD...
I have put his camera in his hands so many times in three years, but this summer is different, he has now gained back all his weight and had to go off of blood pressure pills because his blood pressure is so normal.....I could go on about how he had to go off of other medicine's but it would be such a long story....I just want to Praise God and give him all the glory...
PRAISE GOD..
The last couple of days, he has actually wanted to hold his camera and guess what, he actually went to the back yard and sit with me.....I am so very blessed, WE ARE SO VERY BLESSED....
And we did put some of his pictures on....He is such a good photographer...God Bless His Heart..
He is so very proud of this picture...

'Soho George' is the name given to 80+ year-old George Skeggs, also known as 'The Suitman'.
I met George today on the South Bank, walking with his great-grandsons.
George is known best for being seen in Soho, particularly around Berwick Street.
A lovely friendly guy and family, great to meet him today.

My last year of high school, I found the George Rhoads elephant so satisfying to fold, that I folded nothing else for months. That or the rhinoceros variation (which I am trying to remember, it's not diagrammed.)
We had very different ideas of complexity, back then. Most creators in those days would take the easy way out: using two squares, for instance, or combining the hind legs into one or making the silhouette suggest the missing limbs or ears or what have you. Rhoads mastered the blintz birdbase and would make a one-square elephant with four legs, two ears, two tusks and a trunk. Magical.
George Rhoads passed on recently. Although he's not been part of the origami scene in a while, his name should by no means be forgotten.

How many cats that played with Charlie Parker, Lester Young, John Coltrane, Johnny Griffin, Gene Ammons and Richard "Groove" Holmes are not only still around, but still making music...still gigging...still having a ball...and still pushing themselves musically? My guess is very few. Here's one: The great jazz guitarist George Freeman. His late brother Bruz Freeman played drums with Hampton Hawes on the fabled "All Night Session" albums. His late brother Von Freeman is a tenor sax legend. His nephew Chico Freeman is a world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, composer, bandleader and educator. When Gene Ammons passed away in '74, Freeman decided to head back to Chicago to take care of his mother-a move he never regretted but one that clearly kept him from having the kind of fame and career he so deserved. Since his brother Von's passing in 2012, the 88-year-old George has experienced something of a renaissance. His latest album is "All In The Family" with nephew Chico, who says "I've heard him earlier (in life) playing a lot of notes, playing fast, and he could run through (chord) changes a lot. Now it's like pure – just pure expression of himself. There's no wasted notes in what he plays.The spaces he leaves are equally as important as the notes he plays".
Morning :D
