Theresa M. Grant has dedicated her life to helping disadvantaged children. In 2005 she quit her job as a marketing executive in the Silicon Valley (near San Francisco, California) and sold all of her possessions to fulfill a calling she had to make a difference in Africa. She moved to an orphanage on a farm outside of Lusaka, Zambia. Finding so much joy and satisfaction from making a difference in the lives of others, Grant joined an organization called C2BU and launched the international side of the organization focused on helping people find their purpose in life. Grant expanded her work into the Kilimanjaro area of Tanzania and decided to start her own organization solely dedicated to empowering children in need called, Make A Difference or Make A Difference NOW. The word 'Now' was added to the organization after talking to numerous people who wanted to make a difference but found it hard to volunteer right away due to restrictions, deadlines and levels of required experience. Eventually, Make A Difference NOW developed into an organization that accepted help throughout the year no matter what talent was offered. Make A Difference NOW strives to enable people from all over the world to make a difference at the very moment they are ready.
Grant has a BS in International Relations and a BA in Spanish. She has supervised more than 60 volunteers from countries around the world including Australia, Belgium, India, Israel, Sweden, Tanzania, UK, USA and Zambia helping empower disadvantaged children as well as women by working on literacy, environmental, health and art programs to micro-loans, income generators and numerous other educational programs.
This is me without (left) and with make-up (right). Did you notice a difference? I don't wear make-up every day and if I do, it's subtle. I feel different wearing it, though. More like a woman, more like taking care of myself. Do you know what I mean?

Anyone ever seen this lighter pattern on a giraffe? Its the first time I've seen it ... makes the image really work.
Use as you wish. All I ask is for a credit in the description of your artwork and post a small size image of your work under the texture.
Difference boxes to create borders for your work.
Peace.

I know. At first glance these two images appear identical, but look closely and you'll see 2,641 differences. Using "add notes" can you find them all?

Added a Mitropa Spieswagen (Restaurant Car) to my Diesel set, just got to sort out the couplings conversion before the excursion to Prattlesham Bay can get going. While having my afternoon snooze I did a bit of lateral thinking. Remove one coupling from the Spieswagen and one coupling from the first class coach and swap them over. The first class coach then will connect to one end of the Spieswagen with Fleischmann couplings and the second class coach connects to the other end of the Spieswagen with NEMs. That'll do for me.

I've been doing this sort of stuff over at my blog for quite some time now, so I thought I'd bring the fun* over here as well :o)
No prizes alas, but kudos if you spot all of them!
*Definition of 'fun' may only exist in the Magical World Of Misty's Mind.
Wow! What a difference from 5 days ago.

Charles Babbage was not able to raised the funds to build a complete Difference Engine. 153 years after he died the first working engine was completed at the Science Museum in London. There is now a second in Mountain View, California.
It had many of the attributes of a modern computer - separate CPU, memory and I/O devices, stored programs and easily reprogrammable with punched cards.

This weeks horoscope, 3rd week of August.
"This is a week for remembering past versions of your life, it’s a week for listening to the songs that used to make you feel free, it’s a week for flexing muscles that used to be strong. Listen to the way your voice changes when you talk to very old friends. Look at pictures of places you used to live and notice the colors that show up behind your eyes. It’s a good week to remember that your life has been different than it is now, and that it is going to get different again, and that even now, you are bright and full of the future."
I wept when I read this. My recent battle with agoraphobia and anxiety has left me more than a little worse for wear. keeping me out of work, rendering me a burden to my husband and feeling like a dead beat at the yarn shop.
But I can feel a difference. A subtle shift towards a healthy mind, towards functionality.
Every day is still a battle, a delicate balance managing triggers and quieting attacks and celebrating victory when I can keep said attack at a level five or six, rather than a full blown ten. I keep my xanax on me at all times, along with my amino acids, calcium, and other supplements I've found useful. I feel myself inching, scrapping across cobble stone, towards recovery.
I took these (clarity and difference) on what I think of as my first day "back". The Xanax reminded me what I was like. I remembered I kind of like myself. I remembered that I can be charming and kind, I remembered that i like to pilfer the neighbors flowers when we go on walks around the block. In a funny way I missed myself.
Confidence is what sets you apart from others. When you are confident in everything you do, you will prosper, and people will notice.
