This isolated flower has bloomed in the middle of the woods, with no other similar forms of life anywhere near it.

 

We all have one thing in common and that is that were all different from each other. There are NO two people in this world, populated by 7 Billion human beings, who are exactly the same or even close to it. None! Even identical twins are only identical in physical appearance. Now knowing that, you can consider how truly amazing it is to be completely different than anyone on the face of this earth. We often forget that unfortunately, taking it for granted everyday of our lives. Why strive to be someone else, when you have the gift of difference?

Though the picture looks cheesy for a typography, this actually was the least cheesy wordings I could come up with. The font is not too professional and really simple, makes the photo feel like one from Lifetouch photography. I digress, the photos mood was supposed to be simply happy and I think Ryan's smile nailed that. Answering this weeks question is it just adds an extra layer of emotion.

the difference between

a flower and a weed

is judgement.

  

I find the dramatic difference between inside and outside interesting. It certainly mirrors the modern society and the schism between the haves and the have- nots.

What a difference a day can make....40 days of no rain changed overnight to a storm with winds, big rain, and cold fog. The sun umbrella was open yesterday! #cy365 253/365 'what a difference'

Peace Corps Volunteers ready to make a difference

 

Thirteen new United States Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn in on Tuesday, December 18, as a final step before moving into villages for their two year assignments. The volunteers just completed an intensive 10-week Pre-Service Training Tuesday and have begun transferring to their individual villages scattered throughout Upolu and Savaii.

   

Their primary focus is to improve primary school students’ English literacy. In addition, several volunteers are going to villages that were severely affected by Cyclone Evan and will have the unique opportunity to help repair and rebuild the schools they will be working in, as well as help the affected communities in additional ways.

   

In light of recent events, the volunteers were sworn in by U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Chad Berbert in a private ceremony at the U.S. Embassy Office in Matafele. The following day the volunteers and staff from the U.S. Embassy joined hands with Samoa Victim Support Group to help clean out the SVSG office at the old police building.

   

“It was quite the task as mud had accumulated up to a foot high in some places due to Cyclone Evan,” Mr. Berbert said. “SVSG is doing great things for people in this country, including aiding people who are suffering because of Cyclone Evan. I’m very happy we could play a small part in helping to return the favor and assist them in recovering from the storm.”

   

The new Volunteers are eager to start their two year assignments, which will keep them in Samoa until December 2014.

The City of Malden, assisted by Congressman Ed Markey, was awarded an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant for the procurement of Onsite Renewable Technology. Part of the grant was used to install solar panels on Malden High School and to perform an energy audit of municipal buildings. Another portion of the grant was used to procure 108 LED streetlights for an initial deployment around Malden Center on City owned streetlight poles. New LED streetlights were installed on both sides of Florence Street from Main to Commercial, on one side of Commercial Street from Route 60 to Charles Street, and LED lighting was installed where possible on both sides of Route 60 from the Beebe School to Malden High School.

During the Great Depression, millions of Americans were in poverty and dropped in status. Many people who were use to the middle class and suburban life were in for quite the change. From October in 1929 when the stock market crashed to 1941, millions of people had their lives drastically changed from what they were use to. People were losing their jobs left and right. Those who once worked in factories were laid off since nobody was buying or just couldn’t afford the products that were being made. Farmers across the nation could not make a living since the world’s price for agricultural goods dropped drastically in price and all the extra crops that have been farmed were now being put into warehouses. Many farmers then turned to raising cows, pigs and chickens to accumulate for their losses in crops. In Europe, the farmers were suffering the same agricultural problems. Economist could not explain why the prices in food were going down. The European nations made the decision to put a tariff on foreign foods and import quotas. Producers of staple crops received a huge blow. Since many of those farmers purchased land and heavy machinery during the war, they could not afford mortgage payments and repairs, thus leading them into bankruptcy. Yet some people were still able to maintain their standard of living despite the economic condition American was suffering. Depending on your job or career, you still might have been able to pull through these hard times. My Grandfather was just a child during the Great Depression. He remembers what it was like for many of the people during those days. Yet he was one of the fortunate ones. His father was a butcher and owned his own shop. So for his family, they had enough meat to last them throughout the Depression. On occasion, they would have people off the streets come in the store and beg for food. My great grandfather would have to tell them to leave or he would notify the police. Most of the time, they would just leave, yet on one occasion, my grandfather told of a man who robbed the store of some ham and ran off. Overall, the majority of the people of America were on the same boat. In times like the Great Depression, so many people would commit acts just to keep themselves or their loved ones from starving on the cold, unforgiving streets.

Rubbing which Buddha belly will bring good luck? (I am pushing my belly out btw!)

Sainsbury Taste the Difference Tap Room IPA

Its 6.3%, 355mls, had an aroma that was cream, toffee and some spice to it.

Again good carbonation and good head, this was a bit better although thin in the mouth. It had a better balance of the malt, some fruitness and spice, but rather light on the bitterness, at least there was some in this beer though.
