Desmonde is a girl I know from derby. She no longer plays roller derby but seems to lead a life that reflects the perserverance and agression that is required in the sport.
Desmonde is a smart smart girl who cares about others. To me the combination is rare and pleasing. I am happy to know her and happy that she is doing what she wants/needs/loves.

Today's VIS image shows part of the western half of Jezero Crater. The Perserverance Rover is located in this part of the crater – near the delta deposit (upper right side of image) formed by the influx of silt laden water into the crater at a time during Mars' past that was wetter. The crater most likely hosted a lake for a period of time. Jezero Crater is 47km (29 miles) in diameter.
This martian scene spans 19 x 67 kilometers (12 x 42 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image go to themis.asu.edu/zoom-20240226a

From a book called "Animals in art". "the fifth day of the fifth month is the Boys' Festival and many silk or paper carp- the symbol of courage and perserverance- are to be seen waving from the tops of long bamboo canes."

Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery
120 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
circa 1840
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery was built on the banks of what was Bayou Metairie at the end of Canal Street in 1840. In 1841, the remains of firemen buried elsewhere in the city were moved to Cypress Grove. The entrance pylons and lodges were designed in the Egyptian style by Fredrick Wilkinson for a cost of $8,000. Many Protestant began to be buried here when the Girod Street Cemetery began to deteriorate. The cemetery is lined with Wall Vaults many of which contain the remains of volunteer firemen. There are also several large multi-vault tombs of volunteer fire companies such as Perserverance Fire Co No 13, Philadelphia Fire Engine Co No 14 and the tomb of Eagle Fire Co No 7. Elaborate tombs such as those of the Robert Stark and the WH Letchford families stand in the cemetery alongside the cast iron tomb of former mayor foundaryman, Charles L Leeds. One of the most interesting tombs, is the Soon On Tong Association tomb used as a temporary burial space of Chinese residents. The remains were once brought here for ceremony before being shipped back to China. The tomb of Maunsell White, veteran of the Battle of New Orleans and promoter of the use of hot peppers and pepper sauces (still used today), is buried here.

Famine (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997.
The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846.
Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey.
They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.

As the regimantl chaplain reads a prayer for strenght and patience, and a regimental commander speaks to the Cadets of perserverance, the formation stands and honors the tradition. 20 June 2013, Fort Lewis-McChord, Washington.

This was a rough mock-up for the cover of my first (unpublished as of yet) novel. Set in the heart of the hardboiled era, it involves my detective, Steve Randall, and the seamier underbelly of 1950's New York City. Having grown up reading hardboiled detective novels my whole life, it was only natural that I should write one as my first book. I liked my detective, so there are now 8 volumes in this series and they're all unpublished. How's that for perserverance!?
And yes, I used a pseudonym under which to write these books.
My mom's 57th birthday was yesterday May 9th. Here's a picture of her with my nephew on his 2nd B-day a couple of years ago..
I was looking through my pics and this was one of my favorites.. I love her smile here and I think she looks so beautiful and it shows how natural she is with all the people she loves and cares about; one of her best traits. I admire her for her perserverance; she has worked so hard for everything she has and deserves nothing but the very best. .. I love my mom for all that she's done for me throughout my life and hope to be as great a mom someday as she has been to me.
Love you mom!

I got this today.
I absolutely love it
I got it in memory of my Uncle Derrick who drowned two octobers ago off the coast of Fogo island.
The swallow is a symbol to commemorate those lost at sea, and the flowers ( more cherry blossoms, duh ;) ) represent strength and perserverance, which my uncle and my famiy both had.
This one definitely means the most to me.
