My central idea is value. I chose this concept, because my family is very important to me. Most people would say that they value their family and friends. But some people would say that they care for wealth, looks, religion and etc. I wanted to show that there are many things that people love if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I wanted to be more on the positive side, but I realized that not everything is all just happiness. So I changed a couple of my picture ideas and showed more of a darker side of what valuable means.
For my first photo, it shows religion or beliefs. I think that this works for my concept, because religious beliefs is something that some people put all of their time and effort in. It can affect how people live and how they act towards others and the environment.
For my second photo, I'm showing beauty. Many people around the world is insecure about how they looks, and how others see them from the outside. Makeup covers all of the physical marks on someone's face or body. Some people are consumed by makeup so much that they can't even go outside without makeup on, because they feel embarrassed or ugly.
My next photo shows the importance of pets. Pets can be very valuable to to a person or family. A pet can be like a best friend or a family member that you've never had. They comfort you and help you feel like your not alone. And when you have a pet, you create a special bond.
My fourth photo represents family. Family is one of the bigger values that people have. You can go to them when you are having a hard time, and count on them for anything. They're like your best friends and you have a lot of memorable memories together whether it's good or bad.
My last photo shows wealth. Individuals can be so focused on how much money they have, since they can buy anything that they desire. Some people would rather live with a lot of money than live with people around them. And in my photo it shows someone in a suit wearing a watch and having a lot of money. So I think that all of my photos fit for this project.

Timothy E. Hartch of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. presents two invesmtment ideas: Dentsply International and EnergySolutions.
John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848) was the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829. He was also an American diplomat and served in both the Senate and House of Representatives. He was a member of the Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Anti-Masonic and Whig parties. Adams was the son of President John Adams and Abigail Adams. The name "Quincy" came from Abigail's maternal grandfather, Colonel John Quincy, after whom Quincy, Massachusetts, is named.[1][pn 1] As a diplomat, Adams was involved in many international negotiations, and helped formulate the Monroe Doctrine as Secretary of State. Historians agree he was one of the great diplomats in American history.[2]
As president, he proposed a program of modernization and educational advancement, but was stymied by Congress, controlled by his enemies. Adams lost his 1828 bid for re-election to Andrew Jackson. In doing so, he became the first President since his father to serve a single term. As president, he presented a vision of national greatness resting on economic growth and a strong federal government, but his presidency was not a success as he lacked political adroitness, popularity or a network of supporters, and ran afoul of politicians eager to undercut him.
Adams is best known as a diplomat who shaped America's foreign policy in line with his deeply conservative and ardently nationalist commitment to America's republican values. More recently he has been portrayed as the exemplar and moral leader in an era of modernization when new technologies and networks of infrastructure and communication brought to the people messages of religious revival, social reform, and party politics, as well as moving goods, money and people ever more rapidly and efficiently.[3]
Adams was elected a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts after leaving office, the only president ever to do so, serving for the last 17 years of his life with far greater success than he had achieved in the presidency. In the House he became a leading opponent of the Slave Power and argued that if a civil war ever broke out the president could abolish slavery by using his war powers, which Abraham Lincoln partially did during the American Civil War in the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. Deeply troubled by slavery, Adams correctly predicted the dissolution of the Union on the issue, though the series of bloody slave insurrections he foresaw never came to pass.

My friends, Seattle artists Pam Gray & Anne Baumgartner, turned the chain link fence around the site of the old Sunset Bowl in Ballard into a summer art installation. Incorporating the alphabet and Ballard neighborhood character into their work on recycled or recyclable materials, they gave the community, which misses very much the 24 hour bowling ally that used to fill this lot, something to enjoy and smile about.

Stockaded forts, common in some parts of North American, were of no particular value in Arizona. To obtain supplies, Indians attacked isolated ranches & freight wagon trains, & it was tactically better for them to engage army units in the hills & canyons.
The high number of Medals of Honor awarded to soldiers stationed in Arizona during the 1870's & 80's bears some testimony to Indian ferocity & skill in warfare, but the final outcome of the Apache Wars was not determined by the battle skill nor courage exhibited by either side. It was determined by resources & organization of effort, & by which side could consistently outdistance & outlast the other in a very mobile war of attrition.
The Apache & Yavapai lacked unity, partly because the small band & its loyalties were compatible with nomadic tradition. When in the field, the army was not burdened by immediate family concerns as the Indian warriors often were. By winter campaigning, by keeping on the move, the army achieved increasing advantage with its greater resources of personnel, supplies, & communications. Overriding all from beginning to end, the growing settler population & the increasingly intensive use of the land were terminating traditional Indian culture. These patters were repeated throughout most of western North American during the second half of the 19th Century.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Frank Phillips of Aberystwyth.
The card was posted in Aberystwyth using stamps to the value of 1½d on Wednesday the 22nd. June 1921. It was sent to:
Mrs. H. Stubbs,
51, Middlewich Street,
Crewe.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Mother,
Having a grand time -
lovely weather.
Eight of us are going
for a picnic today but
I cannot tell you where
it is.
Best love to all,
Anne."
An American Polo Victory
So what else happened on the day that Anne posted the card to her mother?
Well, on the 22nd. June 1921, in the match for the International Polo Cup at Hurlingham in England, the U.S. team defeated the British team 10 to 6, bringing the Cup back to the United States.
A New Rowing Record
Also on that day, the U.S. Naval Academy eight-man rowing team won the Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship and shattered the record for rowing three miles.
The record was lowered by 104 seconds, to 14 minutes, seven seconds, from 15:51.
Deadly Olives
The following day, Thursday the 23rd. June 1921, three women were fatally poisoned hours after a dinner party the night before in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
Miss Ella Woodward, a maid at the home of Joseph D. Wentling died first, followed by Mrs. Wentling, despite the efforts of specialists called in from New York City and Pittsburgh.
Mrs. J. Covode Reed, a guest at the Wentling party, died two days later.
The deaths were all traced to botulism contamination in a single bottle of olives from a Pittsburgh farm.
-- Botulism
Botulism is a rare and potentially fatal illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The word is from Latin botulus, meaning 'sausage'.
The disease begins with weakness, blurred vision, feeling tired, and trouble speaking. This may then be followed by weakness of the arms, chest muscles, and legs.
Vomiting, swelling of the abdomen, and diarrhea may also occur. The disease does not usually affect consciousness or cause a fever.
Botulism can occur in several ways. The bacterial spores which cause it are common in both soil and water, and are very resistant. They produce the botulinum toxin when exposed to low oxygen levels and certain temperatures.
Foodborne botulism happens when food containing the toxin is eaten.
Infant botulism instead happens when the bacterium develops in the intestines and releases the toxin. This typically only occurs in children less than one year old, as protective mechanisms against development of the bacterium develop after that age.
Wound botulism is found most often among those who inject street drugs. In this situation, spores enter a wound, and in the absence of oxygen, release the toxin. Wound botulism has increased in recent years because of the use of black tar heroin, especially in California.
The disease is not passed directly between people. Its diagnosis is confirmed by finding the toxin or bacteria in the person in question.
Prevention is primarily by proper food preparation. The toxin, though not the spores, are destroyed by heating it to more than 85 °C (185 °F) for longer than five minutes.
The clostridial spores can be destroyed in an autoclave with moist heat (120°C/ 250°F for at least 15 minutes) or dry heat (160°C for 2 hours) or by irradiation.
The spores of group I strains are inactivated by heating at 121°C (250°F) for 3 minutes during commercial canning.
Spores of group II strains are less heat-resistant, and they are often damaged by 90°C (194°F) for 10 minutes; however, these treatments may not be sufficient in some foods.
Honey can contain the organism, and for this reason, honey should not be fed to children under 12 months.
Treatment is with an antitoxin. In those who lose their ability to breathe on their own, mechanical ventilation may be necessary for months. Antibiotics may be used for wound botulism.
Death occurs in 5 to 10% of people. Botulism also affects many other animals.
-- Botulism Outbreaks in the United States
(a) On the 2nd. July 1971, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a public warning after learning that a New York man had died and his wife had become seriously ill due to botulism after eating a can of Bon Vivant vichyssoise soup.
(b) Between the 31st. March and the 6th. April 1977, 59 individuals developed type B botulism.
All who fell ill had eaten at the same Mexican restaurant in Pontiac, Michigan, and had consumed a hot sauce made with improperly home-canned jalapeño peppers, either by adding it to their food, or by eating nachos that had been prepared with the hot sauce.
The full clinical spectrum from mild symptomatology with neurologic findings through to life-threatening ventilatory paralysis of type B botulism was documented.
(c) In April 1994, the largest outbreak of botulism in the United States since 1978 occurred in El Paso, Texas. Thirty people were affected; 4 required mechanical ventilation.
All ate food from a Greek restaurant. The attack rate among people who ate a potato-based dip was 86% (19 out of 22 diners) compared with 6% (11 out of 176 diners) among people who did not eat the dip.
The attack rate among people who ate an eggplant-based dip was 67% (6 out of 9 diners) compared with 13% (24/189) among people who did not.
Botulism toxin type A was detected in patients and in both dips. Toxin formation resulted from holding aluminum foil-wrapped baked potatoes at room temperature, apparently for several days, before they were used in the dips.
(d) In 2002, fourteen Alaskans ate muktuk (whale blubber) from a beached whale, resulting in eight of them developing botulism, with two of the affected requiring mechanical ventilation.
(e) Beginning in late June 2007, 8 people contracted botulism poisoning by eating canned food products produced by Castleberry's Food Company in its Augusta, Georgia plant. All of the victims were hospitalized and placed on mechanical ventilation.
It was later determined that the Castleberry's plant had serious production problems on a specific line of retorts that had under-processed the cans of food.
These issues included broken cooking alarms, leaking water valves and inaccurate temperature devices, all the result of poor management of the company.
The Castleberry's Food Company outbreak was the first instance of botulism in commercial canned foods in the United States in over 30 years.
(f) One person died, 21 cases were confirmed, and 10 more were suspected in Lancaster, Ohio when a botulism outbreak occurred after a church potluck in April 2015.
The suspected source was a salad made from home-canned potatoes.
(g) A botulism outbreak occurred in Northern California in May 2017 after 10 people consumed a nacho cheese dip served at a gas station in Sacramento County. One man died as a result of the outbreak.
-- Terrorism
A Japanese cult called Aum Shinrikyo created laboratories that produced biological weapons including botulinum.
From 1990 to 1995, the cult staged numerous unsuccessful bioterrorism attacks on civilians. They sprayed botulinum toxin from a truck in downtown Tokyo and at Narita airport, but there were no reported cases of botulism as a result.
-- Biological Warfare
CIA research in Fort Detrick on biological warfare determined that botulism and anthrax were the most effective options.
During the 1950's, a highly lethal strain of botulism was discovered during the biological warfare program. The CIA continued to hold 5 grams of Clostridium botulinum, even after Nixon's ban on biological warfare in 1969.
During the Gulf War, when the United States were worried about a potential bio-warfare attack, efforts around botulism turned to prevention.
However, the only way to make antitoxin in America until the 1990's was by drawing antibodies from a single horse named First Flight, raising much concern amongst Pentagon health officials.
