I have always loved Ms. Ross and what she stands for a go getter, loving, caring and beautiful woman. Ms. Ross has open a brand new world for a lot of black artist of her time, the paths that she has paved for young black female artist are breath taken. She set the stage for how hard work and motivation along with preservation go hand in hand. Ms. Ross was the key element of the Supremes her up-tempo vocals kept her as the lead soloist on most of the songs performed with the group. She impressed when he first heard her voice and he new he had a winner for his record label. Even though it took some years before Ms. Ross performed as a solo artist she still performed with the Supremes until the end. Ms. Ross hit the top of the charts when she became a solo artist and never looked back for several years. She kept the lime life going as she stared in sitcoms, movies, talk shows.

...pretence of depositing money. They both sat at the reception area where one of them gave monies to the other who in turn walked to the teller point. They exchanged some few words then he walked towards the UT Life Rep. He asked to open an account for his father but upon giving the requirement he decided to go and bring the father himself. He walked out of the banking hall leaving the other gentleman seated at the reception. At that point the man seated at the banking hall was interrogated by the security lady if he needed assistance but he confirmed that he came in with someone who is buying tiles across the street.

...The Lunar Light Ritual By: Simon G Will the shadows devour me tonight? Or will fate hang another grain of fear upon my brow? The thoughts engrossed in my mind as I swam my way through the endless sea of night. A calm breeze circulated about the Gods Wood, bringing with it the serenity of mid-autumn night. It stirred up the fallen ashen leaves, and they performed their nightly ritual – a dainty waltz of shadows, oscillating to the rhythmic chants of the wind, who recited indiscernibly archaic spells from the deep. The ancient Heart Trees sang along in the wind with speech too ancient to be fathomed, empowered by the primal force entombed within the Earth. Shadows in the shapes of man and demon don in robes of night danced to the rhythm. More leaves, thousands of them, began to assemble from all over, forming a storm of greens that swirled about a single point in the clearing where I stood, watching the spectacle, like a prophecy sent as a forewarning of an ill omen that came too late. Just then, I felt a sharp swing in the temperature of the air. The incantation starts to upsurge and intensify. The melody accompanying the faint recitation began to transpose upwards, higher and higher, with no sign of stopping. The tension and urgency of the mantra increased dramatically. What astonishing feat of necromancy are they performing that they should require so much dark magical power to ensure its success? I wondered. One of the ancient Heart Trees paused in the midst of...

...Ladies and Gentlemen Project Paper Shantrice Scott Strayer University Dr. Hunsucker HUM111 November 24, 2014 Many students set goals with the hope that their achievements may help them be accepted into their chosen college. Unfortunately, they often put too much emphasis on one area and do not take part in a wide range of activities. Bewildered college applicants often say, "I've had a perfect average since I started junior high. How could they reject me?" What they do not realize is that schools are interested in more than just intellectual achievements. Others find themselves saying, "I am the best baseball player in my school. Why did I get rejected?" This also proves that college acceptance is not based on an athletic single area of activity, whether academic, musical, or Statement of Purpose. (Allen 1996) I firmly believe that it is important to be well-rounded, taking part in both challenging and interesting activities instead of just focusing on athletics or academics. I understand that proving oneself to be an outstanding athlete requires much skill development and hours of practice, and this is true for demonstrating intellectual ability, too. But a truly capable person balances many activities. Taking part in school, athletics, music, community service, extra-curricular activities, academic clubs, social clubs, hobbies and spending time with friends and family are the qualities that describe a truly well-rounded person. Sometimes students' ideas about...

Sorry to say the possessors of several of these websites have not taken in the least liability for the content. There are many, if not thousands of want ads shows potential factual authentic beautiful girls, all while using phony girls of across Indian models. There are reckless agencies make believing to be personal, there are so many older classified girls asserting to be younger. There are lure and toggle schedules, and then there are many other girls who are straightforward with their advertising – but do not offer a good quality service as independent Pune escorts provides. We are very much concern about quality escort services in Pune The turn of phrase ‘client’ is used pretty often to explain a client, and we can recognize why. Agency ads can be fairly intimidating to a new needy gentleman. He must aim to decide which of these beauties are real, who he can hand over his assets and his time. A skilled girl or gentleman may be capable to mark a bogus advertisement a mile away, but for the new desired client it is far extra challenging. Regrettably now and then they have to go from beginning to end a terrible experience, and be taught the tough method. One of the causes that the several forums and analysis websites were formed was for gentlemen to inform each other about such...

...point was about the term “ladies and gentlemen.” It would be easy to think of upper class women in flashy dresses and extravagant hats and men in tailcoats and top hats when talking about ladies and gentlemen. However, one of my goals when using the terms is to make their definitions much more than mere appearance, if appearance at all. This modernization of the terms helps bring the definition into the current century and throw away the traditional and very close-minded definition. It is for this reason that I believe being a lady or gentleman is based on personality, how a person treats others, I speak for most people who use the term “ladies and gentlemen” in reference to a person’s conduct, not a person’s class, social standing, race, sexuality. Some, when faced with the terms “ladies and gentlemen,” will immediately assume the worst by using the outdated definitions. Some will also dig for reasons to label those who use “ladies and gentlemen”. In labeling us this way, these people do not facilitate any sort of progress for the terms or for any sort of unity for women, or men, ladies or gentleman. We live where we ought to not judge people by the color of their skin, their class, gender, or sexuality, with all of this, there are still groups who refuse to take off their blinders. Ladies and Gentleman, now there is a saying that has been with us for a long time, but what does it really mean and where did it come from? Let’s start with the ladies as we all have been known...

...family is one of the most famous. Although they have no political power, they tend to have a lasting impression on the country. Lady Diana Spencer became part the royal family in 1980 and suffered with the constant pressure and criticism from the outside world. With attention toward Diana gaining popularity, the royal family had become more of a tourist attraction than a symbol of the nation. Decades later, the commoner, Kate Middleton has a more difficult time filling in after the lasting impression of Princess Diana. Kate keeps working at filling in the footsteps of Diana and has gained the attention and recognition of the country. Although decades apart and from different backgrounds, Princess Diana of Wales and Kate Middleton both managed to capture the country’s attention through their marriage of potential heirs of England and developed lasting cultural impressions throughout the country as a result. Lady Diana Spencer was first noted as being a shy, young kindergarten teacher who went through many conflicts leading to and throughout her marriage with Prince Charles. Diana went through to a large extent of drama in her childhood years. Diana did not necessarily have the best home life, but she learned to make the best of it and as a result she became a stronger person (Leete-Hodge 20). The hardships began in 1969 with the divorce of her parents. Diana and her siblings stayed with her father, visiting their mother often, and tried to continue with a normal life. Unfortunately...

...Carpinteria, California (CNN) -- Prince William and his polo team won a round-robin match Saturday, garnering them a sterling silver and gold trophy -- weighing 14.7 pounds in the precious metals -- after he scored four goals in the final game. His team won the pivotal game 5-3. "A storybook ending here at Santa Barbara!" the announcer told hundreds of spectators at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club. A confident prince had predicted he would win the 18-inch-tall trophy, exclusively created by Tiffany silversmiths for the match. His wife, Catherine, awarded the trophy cup to William and his three teammates after the royal couple exchanged congratulatory kisses on both cheeks. She also gave Tiffany gifts to all 12 polo players who played on the three teams participating in the six chukkars, or six periods, of Saturday's play. Before the game, the prince declared he and wife Catherine arrived at "one of the most beautiful polo grounds anywhere in the world" to raise money for charity and compete. "I'm not a good loser," he joked with hundreds of guests under a white tent as they prepared to eat lunch, adding he wanted to win.

I was born and raised in an urban area; then we moved to America for better education and career for my sisters and I. My parents were not that educated but they spent all their life savings on my sister’s and I’s education. They had a dream for us to get better jobs. As for me, I went to the richest school in India and had the best education that I could have. I didn’t have any goals or dreams about what I wanted to do and what I should do to achieve them— all I knew was that I wanted to be a police officer in the future. The day I moved to America and to my new high school, I realized I needed dreams that would make my life easier and bring a better future to me. This is why I believe in Dreams.

...To my kids, Tomorrow is a big day. Fourth Grade, Middle School, and High School – wow! Kids-- When I was in third grade, there was a little boy in my class named Adam. Adam looked a little different and he wore funny clothes and sometimes he even smelled a little bit. Adam didn't smile. He hung his head low and he never looked at anyone at all. Adam never did his homework. I don't think his parents reminded him like yours do. The other kids teased Adam a lot. Whenever they did, his head hung lower and lower and lower. I never teased him, but I never told the other kids to stop, either. And I never talked to Adam, not once. I never invited him to sit next to me at lunch, or to play with me at recess. Instead, he sat and played by himself. He must have been very lonely. I still think about Adam every day. I wonder if Adam remembers me? Probably not. I bet if I'd asked him to play, just once, he'd still remember me. I think that God puts people in our lives as gifts to us. The children in your class this year, they are some of God's gifts to you. So please treat each one like a gift from God. Every single one. If you see a child being left out, or hurt, or teased, a part of your heart will hurt a little. Dink and I want you to trust that heartache. Your whole life, we want you to notice and trust your heartache. That heartache is called compassion, and it is God's signal to you to do something. It is God saying, Bethany, William, Brendan! Wake up! One of my babies is hurting...

...want to find and marry Prince Charming. The feeling of royalty at your feet would be so good to be true. A shy girl named Diana Spencer was given the opportunity to become a Princess of the English Monarchy. She had her very own tiara and married a handsome prince, just like in fairy tales. The beautiful young lady captured hearts around the world for her warm kindness and dedication towards the people. She became one of the world’s most glamorous and famous figures. Everyone thought that she was the luckiest and happiest girl living. But the ending of Princess Diana’s story didn’t turn out quite as expected, nor had a “happy ever after”. II. BODY Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1, 1961 at Park House, the home that her parents rented on Queen Elizabeth II’s state at Sandringham and where her childhood playmates were the queen’s younger sons, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. She was the youngest daughter of Edward John Spencer and Frances Ruth Burke Roche, the Viscount and Viscountess Althorp (Encyclopedia Britannica). Her father had been a royal equerry for both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, making them close to the royal family (BBC). Unfortunately, Diana’s parents split up when she was six. Still, that didn’t stop her in becoming Lady Diana Spencer when her father earned the title Earl Spencer (Encyclopedia Britannica). Lady Diana was sent to boarding school, eventually attending West Health Public School in Kent where she excelled at sports, particularly...

...Everyone's idea of a perfect job is different, for some it can be a police officer or a teacher. For me, the perfect job would have to be something that makes me happy, and that I really enjoy. In order for my job to be "the perfect job", it will include these specific areas. The area of focus, what the job entails, and why it makes me happy. The area of focus that I would want would be anything in fashion. The word that comes to mind is "successful." The chief of a fashion house, or a fashion editor.
