San Giovanni li Cuti è un piccolo borgo marinaro di Catania con una delle spiagge più rinomate della città .
Ormai fagocitato dalla metropoli etnea, viene lambito dal lungomare che inizia come viale Ruggero di LaurÃa e prosegue come viale Artale Alagona attraversando le cinque piazze che si susseguono in successione.
Nell'ordine si incontrano: piazza Europa, piazza del Tricolore, piazza Nettuno, piazza Ognina e piazza Mancini Battaglia.
Poste tutte sulla destra si protendono verso il mare seguendo l'andamento sinuoso di una costa caratterizzata da sciara ed affioramenti magmatici.
Frequentatissime, ben conosciute e prese d'assalto durante la stagione estiva sono accomunate dal fatto di essere realmente delle suggestive terrazze a mare, luoghi di ritrovo conosciuti ma al contempo delle tappe abituali per il turismo balneare dei catanesi.
San Giovanni li Cuti si trova nella zona coperta da varie colate laviche, in epoca storica nel 1169, 1329 e 1381 anno in cui venne coperta anche parte dell'antico porto Ulisse; tale tratto di costa è chiamata appunto la Scogliera. Vi si accede dalla via omonima, traversa di viale Ruggiero di Laurìa, nel quartiere di Santa Maria della Guardia. La spiaggia è compresa tra il porto omonimo, utilizzato solo da piccole imbarcazioni di pescatori, ed alcuni lidi a cui si accede tramite la vicina piazza Europa.
La spiaggia è formata da sabbia nera vulcanica e l'accesso al mare avviene tramite scogli sempre di pietra lavica. La maggior parte delle pietre proviene dagli scavi del 1956 fatti per l'interramento della ferrovia Catania-Messina nel tratto che va dal ponte di Ognina alla stazione centrale[1]. Molto più tardi si è provveduto a rendere l'area fruibile per il turismo: ogni estate San Giovanni li Cuti diventa una spiaggia libera dotata di docce, spogliatoi, bagni, passerelle e scalette
Alice Li, Miss Intercontinental Canada 2018 was the most sought after model by some of the media pit photographers that night.
Toronto, Canada ~ April 21, 2018
July 19 201 / 366 Mani-pedi, anyone? Li is from Vietnam and works as a manicurist, pedicurist, waxer extraordinaire at Les Ongles Ultra Mode on St. Catherine St. in Montreal. I remember when she couldn't speak French or English and now, she will banter and tease you in the language of your choice. She was pretty happy with this portrait I did of her, while I was delighted with my French pedicure! ;D
(I've been more or less absent on Flickr for the past few days... hope to catch up with you soon!)
Arin: If you see this and you are still game for having your portrait taken by me, I am ready when you are!!

Li Na wears her hat from China. I have a photo of her wearing this same hat before she even came to the US. Tai looks great after his cleft palate and lip surgery. He is talking more each time I see him and has filled out so nicely now that he is better able to eat.

My wife took this shot on Mother's Day when she spent the day with our daughter. I had to work that day and was glad she could be with the grandchildren.
Tai and Li Na have gone through major changes in their young lives but have adapted so well to the family and living in America. We are so grateful to have them as members of our family!

Long Island National Cemetery is located in the community of Farmingdale on Long Island in Suffolk County, N.Y. Establishment of the cemetery in 1936 reflected one aspect of the rapid urbanization of American society in the post-World War I period. With nearly five million veterans of that conflict alone eligible for interment in a national cemetery, it was evident that existing facilities in the vicinity of large urban areas were insufficient. The situation was particularly critical in New York City and its environs. The only federal cemetery in the area, Cypress Hills National Cemetery in Brooklyn, established in 1862, had limited acreage available for burials. In response, in 1936 Congress authorized the Secretary of War to purchase suitable land to enlarge the existing cemetery. After considerable research and numerous site investigations, the War Department instead purchased 175 acres from Pinelawn Cemetery for the construction and development of a new national cemetery.
The lack of available gravesites in Cypress Hills National Cemetery made it necessary to develop the new facility rapidly, and the land was sufficiently cleared to permit the first burials in March 1937. Moreover, between March and November that year, a total of 426 interments were made. During its first eight years, Long Island National Cemetery held 10,167 interments.
The section of the cemetery containing World War II POWs includes the graves of 37 Germans and 54 Italians. The remains of the 36 unknown Italian POWs are interred in a single mass grave; they were among 1,800 prisoners onboard a British ship en route from northeast to northwest Algeria when a torpedo struck the ship. Many prisoners confined in the holds were injured, killed outright or drowned. The initial search of the ship failed to locate all casualties, and after the ship returned to the United States, remains of another 36 prisoners were recovered.
