Leland introducing Rush to some youngsters. We were at the mid-week concert. Lots of kids would stop by to see the dogs. The little girl's name was Madison - it was her "birthday" (she said it was, mom said it is next week).
First Lady Michelle Obama applauds her introduction by Alex Roman, Walsh Elementary School Chicago, Illinois at a reception on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC, on Monday, October 17, 2011 to honor the winners of the HealthierUS Schools Challenge. Behind the First Lady from left: are Roman, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Becky Bounds, Lamar County Schools, Mississippi. Secretary Vilsack and the First Lady hosted the reception to honor the over 1200 winners in the HealthierUS Schools Challenge that met the First Lady’s goal to double the number of participants in the HealthierUS School Challenge in a year.

The HealthierUS School Challenge recognizes elementary, middle and high schools nationwide that create healthier school environments by providing exceptional nutrition education, nutritious food and beverage choices, physical education and opportunities for physical activity. Since the beginning of the HealthierUS School Challenge in 2004, awards have been given to schools in 44 states. As of September 28, 2011, there are 1631 schools certified.

SPECIAL REPORT: WHAT WENT WRONG
INTRODUCTION
Page: 1SR
This aerial photograph tells the story. Hurricane Andrew did not ravage all neighborhoods equally.
Wood-framed houses in Country Walk, at the top of the photo, were devastated.
The more flimsy Dadeland Mobile Home Park, just below it, was leveled. Roger Homes, to the right, were severely damaged.
Houses in Mediterranea, below the mobile home park, were badly damaged.
But the concrete-block Munne Estates, the houses with the distinctive red-tiled roofs, survived the storm relatively intact.
The pattern was repeated throughout South Dade. Damage followed the rigid lines of subdivisions, not the whimsy of wind. Construction quality and design largely determined the degree of hurricane damage.

Return to the Western world! We spend three weeks in Croatia, and sample the joys of Central Europe by the Adriatic Sea.
Zagreb is thoroughly modern and beautiful, with a livelier local crowd, fresh markets, and more hidden gems than Prague or Budapest. The Plitvice Lakes are one of the most awesome national parks we have visited so far. And Dubrovnik is like stepping back into the 1400s, all rocky hillside, stone streets, towering city walls, and Mediterranean blue sea. We would love to come back here.

Welcome to the Count of Monte Cristo Walking Tour. This tour takes you through the locations in Paris that play a significant role in Alexandre Dumas' novel “The Count of Monte Cristo.”
This tour covers a broad area within Paris so Metro stations are also identified, and sometimes recommended, rather than walking the entire route. The Père Lachaise cemetery is not covered in this tour due to its distance, but is a wonderful cemetery to tour separately.
Food and drink is readily available all along this tour so it is not identified uniquely with one exception.
Note: Cited Arrondissement's and Metro stations are for the location/photo being viewed. Directions shown are to the next location on the tour.
Quotes are from the Penguin Classics edition translated by Robin Buss.

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

Introduction to the Carnation Revolution
The Carnation Revolution, which took place on April 25, 1974, was a historic milestone for Portugal and had far-reaching consequences that shaped the country in the following decades.
Also known as April 25, this revolution was a military movement that put an end to a long period of dictatorship in Portugal.
Historical context until April 25, 1974
To fully understand the importance and impact of the Carnation Revolution, it is essential to examine the historical context in which it occurred.
Portugal was under the dictatorial regime of António de Oliveira Salazar since 1933.
Salazar established an authoritarian Estado Novo, characterized by censorship, political repression and lack of civil liberties.
During its government, Portugal was also involved in colonial conflicts in African colonies.
This political oppression and war in the African colonies led to growing discontent among the Portuguese people.
.
The events of April 25, 1974
On April 25, 1974, a group of Portuguese soldiers led by the Armed Forces Movement (MFA) carried out a military coup to overthrow Salazar's dictatorial regime.
The coup was planned in secret and executed quickly and efficiently.
The military occupied strategic points in Lisbon and other important cities, deposing the existing government.
The Portuguese population, tired of the dictatorship, took to the streets in support of the military, offering them red carnations as a symbol of peace and freedom.
This image of civilians and military united with red carnations in their weapons became an icon of the Carnation Revolution.
.
The main figures and their roles in the revolution
The Carnation Revolution saw the participation of several important figures who played crucial roles in the unfolding of events.
Standing out are General António de Spínola, who became the first president of Portugal after the revolution, and Captain Salgueiro Maia, one of the military leaders of the MFA.
Spínola played a fundamental role in the transition to democracy, while Maia was an emblematic figure during the events of April 25, leading the troops that occupied strategic points in Lisbon.
In addition to these figures, many other courageous soldiers and civilians also contributed to the success of the revolution.
The immediate consequences and the transition to democracy
After the Carnation Revolution, Portugal went through a period of political transition that led to the establishment of a democratic regime.
The provisional government was formed to administer the country until democratic elections could be held.
This transition period was marked by intense political debates, a new constitution and the release of political prisoners.
Democracy was eventually established in Portugal, with free elections and fundamental rights guaranteed.
The transition to democracy was an important milestone in the history of Portugal and one of the main legacies of the Carnation Revolution.
.
The lasting consequences of the Carnation Revolution
The Carnation Revolution had lasting consequences in Portugal, which lasted for decades.
Politically, the revolution paved the way for democracy and the end of the dictatorial regime.
Socially, it brought greater freedom of expression, equal rights and a renewed sense of national identity.
Culturally, the revolution stimulated an artistic and cultural flourishing, with creative expressions that reflected the new era of freedom and openness.
Furthermore, African colonies were granted independence, resulting in decolonization and the end of the war.
The Carnation Revolution also had an international impact, inspiring democratic movements in other countries and receiving diverse reactions from the international community.
.
Annual celebrations and celebrations on April 25
Annually, on April 25, Portugal celebrates the Carnation Revolution as a national holiday.
On this day, several ceremonies and events are held to honor the heroes of the revolution and remember the historical significance of that moment.
Celebrations include parades, political speeches, concerts and exhibitions that highlight the importance of freedom and democracy.
The Portuguese people come together to celebrate the achievement of freedom and to reaffirm their commitment to the democratic values that the Carnation Revolution represented.
,
Conclusion: The Lasting Legacy of the Carnation Revolution
The Carnation Revolution, which took place on April 25, 1974, was a historic milestone for Portugal.
It put an end to decades of dictatorship and paved the way for democracy, freedom and equal rights.
The consequences of this revolution extended throughout this half century, shaping Portugal's politics, society and culture.
The Carnation Revolution also had an international impact, inspiring democratic movements in other countries.
The annual April 25th celebrations reaffirm Portugal's commitment to democratic values and remember the historical significance of this achievement.
The Carnation Revolution is a lasting legacy that should be cherished and preserved for future generations.
