- "Guspi" - has a very beautiful bright blue needles. It grows up to 11 m.
Firs do not like too moist soil, so they should be watered only in drought, once every 10 days. The crown of spruce lends itself well to pruning, so that beautiful figures can be formed from it.
Honeysuckle is one of the most charming evergreen shrubs for the garden. Throughout the summer period, it blooms with beautiful crimson buds, and in winter it pleases the eye with rich green foliage.
Honeysuckle bushes - curly, in height can grow up to 3 meters. The plant has a wide foliage oval. The leaves are up to 8 cm in length, up to 5 cm wide. The inflorescences are odorless, rolled into a tube and hang from the shoots in the form of bluebells about 5 cm long. The color of flowers is mainly dark pink, raspberry, inside light yellow. In addition, there are varieties with red and yellow buds. After flowering, small bright red berries form on the shoots.
In the open ground, young seedlings are planted in the spring, after the end of winter frosts. The plant loves open, lighted, windless places. The most suitable soil will be loose, moderate moisture soil.
For planting, dig a hole up to 40 cm in depth (it is recommended to lay a layer of sand and gravel on the bottom, then some soil mixture). The plant is placed in the center of the fossa, gently straightening the roots, covered with soil and slightly compacted. Honeysuckle can not be deeply buried in the ground (the neck of the root must be at the level of the ground), otherwise it will not grow and may be lost. The young seedling of the first 14 days should be pritenyat from sunlight.
The evergreen cypress hedge just can't fail to fascinate the look. In height trees can reach from 1 to 25 meters. The crown is round and cylindrical. In the second year of growth, cypresses ripen cones. They have a very beautiful shape and resemble a flower bud.
Today, there are about a hundred species of cypress trees, but the most decorative representatives include:
- Cypress evergreen,
Cypresses are not demanding to the ground, they withstand drought well, but they do not tolerate frost well. If the drought is long - you should water the tree. For the formation of neat bushes in late August, pruning is carried out. In conditions of barren, heavy soil cypress once a year is recommended to feed a three-component fertilizer. The best breeding method is cutting.
Decorative bushes for the garden can be created with the help of juniper. Handicraft forms of the plant reach a height of 3 m, tree - from 4 to 12 m. Young seedlings have reddish-brown bark, in adult plants it becomes brown.
Juniper needles are assembled in pairs of several pieces. In addition to beauty, this evergreen plant has an incredibly pleasant smell and very beautiful green buds. In the second year of growth, cones acquire a grayish color and look like berries.
There are many varieties of juniper, but the most decorative and popular include:
- "Montana" - creeping shrubs about 20 cm high,
- "Kolumnaris" - columnar plants up to 50 cm in height, known for beautiful needles with a bluish tint,
- Blue Arrow - columnar shrubs with blue-gray needles,
- "Mass" - creeping shrubs with bluish-green needles.
Juniper does not need pruning and this procedure should be carried out only in those cases if you want to form a hedge from its bushes. In this case, you need to be very careful, as the branches of the plant grow very long. Propagated by seeds, cuttings and layering.This beauty fascinates the slender trunk and lush crown in the form of a cone. Unlike other coniferous trees, fir for a long period retains the decorativeness of the lower branches. The bark of plants is smooth, greyish, in some species in old age it can crack. The needles are soft, with rounded ends.
A distinctive feature of fir from other coniferous representatives is that its cones grow upwards like those of cedars, and break up on a tree, and its powerful roots go deep into the ground. In total, there are about 50 species and more than 200 varieties of fir.
The most interesting and decorative representatives include:
- Korean fir.
Balsam fir grows from 15 to 25 m. The bark is smooth, brown, the needles are dark green in color with thin white stripes, the cones are purple. Today there are 20 types of ornamental varieties of this species. A very popular dwarf variety “Nana”, which is up to half a meter high (in 10 years), up to 1 m wide. The needles have a charming emerald shade. Another thick dwarf fir species, Kiwi, stands out with a beautiful thick green-blue crown.

The most interesting of these are the Archers Dwarf dwarf variety with a thick blue crown and Wintergold, with yellowish needles in young plants, which change their color to green with age.
Very beautiful varieties of Korean fir:

- fringed - it is distinguished by the fact that the foliage at the edges is framed by a yellow stripe, which in autumn changes its color to red or pink.
Boxwood is an ideal evergreen plant for borders, often using the site’s landscape design.
Its benefits also include:
- good crop tolerance,
- the possibility of good growth in dark areas,
- the possibility of forming a variety of shapes.
The Garland boxwood is ideal for making bonsai. Such varieties as “Latifolia”, “Rotundifolia” are perfect for forming hedges. With their help, you can create any shape - cones, ovals, cubes, rectangles.
Pine trees in landscape design are great for single planting, combining with other evergreen trees (fir, spruce, larch) or alpine hills, and cedar pine trees make excellent “live” rows. For the formation of dense fences - pines are not suitable, as the needles thin out over time and will not allow the creation of a dense monolithic wall.
Mountain, cedar and ordinary pines are considered the most suitable for cultivation. Weymouth and Vanguir varieties are suitable for regions with small frosts and fertile soils.
The crown is formed by circumcision. It should be carried out in the middle of summer, after the active movement of sap in the tree ends. Branches can be cut as a whole, and to the middle. Spring and autumn pruning is not recommended.
A distinctive feature of these evergreens is the flat dark green needles and red small cones, which look like berries. It grows for a long time, but can calmly live up to 3 thousand years. Perfectly tolerates shading, does not like polluted air. It grows well on loose soils, tolerates drought well.

These trees are great for trim and decorative haircuts. With their help, you can make out alleys, pavement paths, create evergreen borders and dense fences,
Thuja varieties are best suited for use in landscape design. Globoza (characterized by a smooth rounded crown, suitable for planting along the sidewalk), "Filiformis" (has a spherical uneven crown with snake hanging branches) Bowling Ball (has a pale yellow, heather-like needles).
Trees and shrubs
Planting such plants makes it possible to literally in a matter of hours turn the former construction site or wasteland into a multi-colored oasis, if you buy shrubs or ornamental trees for the garden already grown in tubs, and replant with a clod of earth. The main thing is to study their requirements for the quality of the soil and the degree of frost resistance, and select those that will feel best on your site.
All trees and bushes are divided into three types: flowering, evergreen and decorative leafy plants for the garden.
Such beauty can be made with your own hands!
Such flowering ornamental shrubs for the garden, such as acacia, dogrose or lilac, are known to all and need no introduction.
We will tell about others, differing by more exotic look.
- Rhododendron. It blooms in spring with whole bunches of flowers, which, depending on the variety, may have a very unusual color. Incredibly beautiful, but very picky about the temperature regime - in winter it can freeze. Therefore, it is grown only in the southern regions. A few varieties have been adapted to the climate of the middle lane.
- Camellia. Even more thermophilic evergreen plant, which bloom begins in autumn. Camellia has a very beautiful dark green glossy foliage, which provides decorative shrub throughout the year.
Council Try growing camellia as a pot plant, if you have one where to pick it up for the winter.
Look at the photo: the plant is very similar to a rosebush.
- Forsythia It blooms very early, when foliage does not appear on all the trees, so spring pruning is unacceptable. The whole bush is covered with large yellow bells, beyond which no branches are visible. It looks especially impressive against the background of conifers in the country.
- Tamarisk. This plant will decorate your decorative garden with its unusual look: in the spring it will be covered with pink fluffy frost from small flowers. After flowering, the bush is recommended to form, and in the fall to pruning sick and dry branches.
- Spirea. It blooms very copiously - the ends of the branches are completely covered with flowers. The timing of flowering in different varieties differ, which makes it possible to enjoy the beauty from spring to autumn, if you plant several plants of this species.
Evergreen shrubs and trees
First of all, these include conifers - ornamental fir trees for gardens, pines, thujas and other representatives of this species. They will not make you happy with flowers, but at your summer house there will be greens all year round.
Of course, ship pines and blue spruces are suitable only for large areas, and for small ones or for organizing a compact recreation area it is better to choose slow-growing and dwarf plants.
- Mountain pine. Very unpretentious small tree, able to live on the most poor soils.
- Cedar elfin wood. The same applies to pines, but grows not so much in height as in breadth, spreading along the ground, and therefore requires a sufficiently large area. It tolerates harsh winters.
- Yew. A great choice for small areas - it grows very slowly, it feels good in the shade. But heat-loving and may die due to the high standing of groundwater, as it does not tolerate the constant high soil moisture.
- Dtsuga - original coniferous plant with an unusual crown shape in the form of umbrellas. Её можно поддерживать в аккуратном виде, периодически осуществляя своими руками стрижку. Лучше всего растет в местах, защищенных от ветра.
Для справки. If you need evergreen hedge, you can arrange it by planting crops such as juniper, boxwood or thuja around the perimeter.
Decorative leafy plants
If flowering plants are valued for abundant, but fairly short-term flowering, and evergreen - for creating a lively background throughout the year, then these decorative garden plants amaze with foliage of an unusual color or shape. Their competent selection will make your garden original and unforgettable even in the absence of flowers.
We recommend the following types:
- White turf. It stands out among ordinary shrubs with green leaves with a wide white border along their edges. Easily tolerates pruning and bush formation.
- Barberry Thunberg. Shrub with red or yellow leaves that look very impressive against the background of ordinary greenery.
Barberry fruits are edible
- Winged euonymus. The color of the foliage changes to autumn to a bright ruby, and in the spring the plant will delight you with unusual, clustered buds.
Note. Depending on the variety, the euonymus may be a dwarf plant or grow into a real tree.
There are also deciduous and evergreen species with different requirements for climatic conditions.
Therefore, choose seedlings carefully.
Care instructions should be provided in the nursery.
- Red Maple. The tree height of 1.5-3 meters with veropodobnymi leaves of red. Loves sunny places and moist acidic soil. Young seedlings require shelter for the winter.

Flowers and Herbs
Trees and bushes are great, but few will resist not to plant decorative garden flowers. Especially perennials, which also do not require great hassle on growing seedlings and nursing it when transplanting into the ground.
In addition to them, the site can also be decorated with unusual ornamental cereals for the garden, which many people know very little about.
How to choose perennials
Multicolored and cozy corner
All herbaceous plants are very demanding on the composition of the soil, light, and other growing conditions.
When choosing decorative flowers for the garden, first of all pay attention to this.
- Sun-loving plants should be planted in open areas, most of the day illuminated by sunlight.
- For shade-tolerant colors, areas on the west or east side of buildings are suitable, as well as flower beds located near tall trees that do not cast a thick shadow.
- Shade-loving plants, on the contrary, feel better there, where the sun rarely peeks: under the crown of bushes and trees, in the shadow of the northern side of the house.
Another selection criterion is plant height. For example, tall ones are used for the back or central part of flower beds and rabatok, for decorating unsightly fences and outbuildings. And creeping (ground cover) - to create pristvolnyh circles of trees, create alpine slides and other compositions with stones.
Flowerbed of uneven perennials
Especially carefully choose ornamental cereals for the garden - not all of them are able to live in a harsh climate, and require complex care. Such herbs include brown and beige sedge, cortaderia, emperor.
But the drip catcher, soddy pike, feather grass or sedleria are quite unpretentious, and at the same time they can become an ornament of your garden.
Council If you are going to grow flowers and herbs from seeds, give preference to seeds in simple sachets - products of local breeders adapted to your climatic conditions.
The price of a beautiful package with bright colors on it is usually much higher, but the result rarely matches the picture.
Create your own piece of happiness
Floriculture and ornamental gardening is a real art that is taught throughout life. But the love of plants and the desire to make your garden beautiful and cozy will help you realize your dream. And the video in this article will be the starting point for it.

Evergreens retain their green color throughout the year, regardless of the season. This is a rather specific type of plant, which has a number of undeniable advantages over deciduous plants. Evergreen trees and shrubs can delight with their saturated color all year round, which is very important for planting green areas around a house, in parks and public gardens. About the features of evergreens, we will discuss in this article.
Evergreens in landscape design
In a small area, evergreen shrubs will be appropriate, they will not obscure the garden and will not interfere with fruit trees. Plants with foliage of various shades will look especially attractive. Perfectly suited for this purpose: padony-shaped mahonia, European rhododendron varieties, cap-shaped honeysuckle, lingonberry, podbel, calmia, boxwood, Dammer cotoneaster. Low shrubs can be used as a hedge or as borders, dividing the site into zones.
For single planting, you can use conifers: pine, cedar, Freize, cypress and, of course - spruce. Some of these trees grow to a few tens of meters, so you should think in advance about how such a giant will look on your site.
Another kind of unfading greenery is ground cover plants, no higher than 30 cm in height. With their help, lawns turn into plush green or silver carpets and remain so year round.
Perfectly cope with this task: sunflower, forming cushion thickets, periwinkle with dark green foliage, carnation, covering the soil with a silvery veil, iberis, pleasing the eye with thin dense leaves. Even greater effect can be achieved if you plant several different species, creating a pattern. In addition to the decorative function, these plants protect the area from weeds.
Weaving plants are used in the design of hedges, arbors, facades of houses. The most unpretentious gardeners consider ivy, so its many varieties are most often found on the plots.
In order that various shades of juicy greens did not die away in any season - do not forget to look after them all the year round. Photo with the names of evergreen shrubs will help determine the variety that will decorate the garden area. Such plants are unpretentious. They are ideal for hedges, borders or creating a separate flower bed.
Evergreens for loggias and balconies
Some plants belonging to the species of evergreen, will be of interest not only to gardeners, but also those who want to decorate their balcony or loggia in the winter. Evergreens for a balcony in the autumn can be bought in a tub or pot, and then transplanted into a suitable container. The most unpretentious plants, ideal for landscaping a balcony, include: spruce, lying goulter, pyracanthus, buksus, juniper, thuja, etc. Each of these plants is able to please their owners with different color, flowering and foliage shape.

Live fence or evergreen hedge
Even the most elegant fence for the garden can not be compared with the beauty of the “living” hedge, which becomes the main decoration of any landscape. Depending on the desired height of the hedge, to create it you can use low-growing evergreens, which include quince, yew repandes, yew elegantissima, mahonia, etc. or plants that can reach a height of more than three meters (barberry, gibner, cherry felt, etc.). The most common evergreens for hedges include various types of barberry, spruce, hawthorn, boxwood and rosehip. All these plants tolerate frost well, grow quickly, are not picky about soil composition and weather conditions, and are easy to trim.
If a “living” hedge is used to decorate a territory, then plants or shrubs are planted in one row. If the fence performs the function of the scenes or the fence, then you need a thicker landing in two rows. Sometimes several types of plants are combined into a single composition.

Evergreens to create borders
Curb plants are ideal for creating borders between different zones of the garden, marking paths, paths and flowerbeds. But, in addition to its decorative value, these plants are necessary to hinder the growth of weeds and the growth of lawn grass. In spring and summertime, “live” borders delight gardeners with a thick crown and bright flowering, but with the onset of winter, many of them lose their attractiveness, destroying the unity of landscape design. In order to “live” borders delight you all year round, choose evergreen curb plants, which include boxwood, honeysuckle, Dubrovnik, Japanese spruce, etc. Some plants, such as boxwood and dubrovnik, can be pruned, giving them the necessary height.

As a rule, evergreens do not need special care. However, so that they can fully reveal their decorative qualities, choose a suitable place for landing. These plants do not like the scorching sun and the soil is too wet. It is best to plant them in the penumbra, in a place fenced from strong winds.
Evergreens in the garden in winter
Evergreen plants for the garden are able to decorate even the most perfect landscape composition. However, in order to give gardening of the garden maximum expressiveness, it is necessary to disperse the plants throughout the site, planting them in small groups in each separate zone. In addition, planting plants in groups, combine varieties with different colors, otherwise winter gardening will look gloomy and the same type.

And such cultures as funky, fescue (blue or gray), periwinkle will make the garden multi-colored and create a contrast against the green background of other plantations.
The basis of the composition
If you plant these plants as the basis of the garden area, then at any time of the year you will be able to admire their unique look. In spring and summer, evergreens will complement mass flowering and fragrance. In autumn, during the period of active fruiting and bright colors of autumn leaves and fruits, the palette of shades will expand many times and unite into a rainbow choir of colors. And in the winter months they will become the only green island of nature against the backdrop of sparkling snow.
Single planting and growing in tubs
Winter-hardy varieties with unusual coloring look great in the collection of tubing plantings. For a bright solo accent on a garden plot, a flower garden or a clearing, evergreens are perfectly suited for which the crown is presented in an unusual form (for example, columns, or arrows). Weeping or stamba form of cultural development is ideal for single plantings.
Planting evergreens and rules of care
Cultures with multi-colored foliage and needles are recommended to be grown only in the penumbral areas. The solar and shady place of cultivation will affect the decorativeness of plants and their external characteristics. Burns are possible from direct sunlight, and due to a lack of light, the yellow and golden color will turn green.
Coniferous evergreens should be planted in areas that are not exposed to sudden gusts of wind and drafts.
The most favorable landing time is early spring or autumn.
The main care is:
- In the timely removal of damaged and dried shoots,
- In regular pruning and the formation of the crown and the general shape of the plant.

I've been riding with SBL forever. Great group of folks. Hoping to see some new faces come out for our rides.
What level of rider are you?
Advanced, but not so fast. Have been riding bikes as an adult for over 30 years.
Are you ready for some post-ride socials?
My favorite part of the ride. This is the place where new comers really get to know the old timers. This is where cycling friendships are born and nurtured.

St. Jean de Brebeuf, 1593 - 1649, was a french born Jesuit missionary and martyr of New France who arrived in America in 1625 to evangelise Native Americans. He lived among the Huron for over 15 years under difficult and challenging circumstances. In 1648 the Iroquois launched a war of extermination against the Huron, their traditional enemies. Refusing to flee when their Huron villlage was attacked, Brebeuf and his assistant, Gabriel Lalemant, were captured the following year and tortured to death by the Iroquois. Brebeuf was canonised in 1930 with seven other missionaries who are collectively called the North American martyrs. He is the patron saint of Canada. His feast day is October 19th.

Published: 19 December 2017
Publisher: Disney Hyperion
Category: Contemporary/Young Adult/Romance
Someday I want to live in a place where I never hear “You’re Dusty’s sister?” ever again. Life is real enough for Dylan—especially as the ordinary younger sister of Dusty, former Miss Mississippi and the most perfect, popular girl in Tupelo. But when Dusty wins the hand of the handsome Scottish laird-to-be Ronan on the TRC television network’s crown jewel, Prince in Disguise, Dylan has to face a different kind of reality: reality TV. As the camera crew whisks them off to Scotland to film the lead-up to the wedding, camera-shy Dylan is front and center as Dusty’s maid of honor. The producers are full of surprises—including old family secrets, long-lost relatives, and a hostile future mother-in-law who thinks Dusty and Dylan’s family isn’t good enough for her only son. At least there’s Jamie, an adorably bookish groomsman who might just be the perfect antidote to all Dylan’s stress . . . if she just can keep TRC from turning her into the next reality show sensation.
Rating: 5 Stars
Prince in Disguise is a good, sweet, fluffy romance that was a great read in the lead up to Christmas. Dylan is the younger sister of Dusty, the winner of the titular show, who is now preparing for her wedding to Ronan (who, actually, is a Lord, but still…). Roped into the filmed special about the wedding, Dylan goes to Scotland for the Christmas Eve wedding and finds that, while a lot of what she feared about having a camera in her face 24/7 is true, there are some benefits to being there too.
The setting being in Scotland, I liked the mysterious castle that belongs to Ronan’s family and the description of the Atholm Arms, the local pub. I might have appreciated a bit more description of the landscape and what have you, but considering it was the middle of winter and shortly after Dylan arrives and it snows heavily, I’m not terribly upset, especially since this weather did lead to some fun dates.
Dusty meets Jamie, a groomsmen of Ronan, who turns out to be a great friend and, eventually, date material. Not quite sure I’d say boyfriend, but romantic interest for sure. Bonding over their dislike of being filmed constantly, their friendliness grows. Jamie is a boon for Dylan, with his constant quotes and sense of adventure. Exploring the castle, secret passages included, is a relieving activity, considering they have to deal with Florence, Ronan’s mother and Dusty’s #1 fan (HAH! Not really…), and Pamela, the coordinator of the show who DOES NOT CARE about anyone unless there’s value to the show and even then she’s a horrible person. I get that she has a show to create, but I didn’t get a good sense of her humanity, if it exists. These two were easily the “villains” of the piece, what with their behavior and the shenanigans they orchestrate/get up to.
Dylan has a strong family and you can really see it. Dusty and her aren’t the closest siblings for two reasons: Dusty is a bit older than Dylan (ten years at least is my guess) and they’re interested in different things. Dusty was a pageant princess and is more interested in all the accompanying activities and Dylan is interested in running and eating (food challenges, etc.). Their mother, who raised them mostly on her own, is doing the best she can in the scope of reality t.v. and even with that hovering over their shoulders, she has her Mama moments when you see the kind of person she is off-camera.
One of my favorite things about the book was that, while there was a romance for Dylan, it wasn’t a forced instalove situation. Both she and Jamie do mention that they could love each other, and they certainly like each other quite a bit, but they never have one of those over-the-top I Love You scenes. I think it would have been one step too many for their budding relationship. It’s not certain whether these two sixteen-year-olds will stay together at the conclusion of the story, primarily because they live on separate continents, the way in which the final page ends is hopeful and I like to think they do.
The big “twist” in the book was not quite obvious; I think I figured it out about half way through, but up to that point I will say that I didn’t suspect it. It was kind of an “oh s*&$” moment when I realized where the story was going and I was excited to get to it, rather than realizing what it was and being disappointed. There was also one other small “twist” that I thought was well written, particularly when we got to see the main cast and others reacting to it, Dylan’s keeping it a secret, and then the reveal, both to Dylan’s family and the show’s staff.
All in all, this was a fast read I would recommend for when you’d like a fluffy read. It was relaxing and easy to sink into. The only thing I might have liked a bit more would be seeing Ronan more, but as this was Dylan’s story more than Dusty and Ronan’s, I was happy with the glimpses we got. The reality show process cannot be easy and while I might not like the majority of them in real life, reading about Dylan’s experience made it obvious on the page that there are real people behind these cameras, these personas that the network wants to create. Whether they’re good or not is another story, of course, but in this instance, Dylan and Jamie and their families were wonderful. Funny, caring, intelligent, and sometimes unexpected.
What a great way to spend Christmas: at a castle in Scotland or, at least, reading about it. 🙂
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

So here are the results of the second day of back breaking work
So another massive load of grass and then off to pick up some mulch and spread that around and viola! The planting doesn't look like much in these pictures, but I've planted two mulberries that I grew from cuttings from a friend's profilic tree, a davidson plum, a tropical peach, two strawberry guavas, some salvias for colour and three pepinos on the slope as they like to spread downhill. In case you're not familiar with pepinos, they are are small bushes that produce yellow and purple striped fruit that would fit in the palm of your hand and taste like rockmelon. We have one in the food forest already and it seems very happy, so why not. I also broadcast woolly pod vetch under the mulch as a green manure. I did the same when I planted out the swales two years ago and they are fabulous nitrogen fixers that self seed and have gorgeous purple flowers that the bees love. I've also found in the areas where I've cleared that nasty grass and mulched, the vetch has gone crazy. So the seed are still there, despite me disturbing the soil quite a bit when taking the big chunks of grass out. So hopefully this new part of the forest will flourish. I've also put in the path and started mulching it. Paths are a good practical place to start but also help you chunk up the areas you plan to plant out, making it manageable. I've put in a huge stump that will edge the path as well as being a great bench to sit and enjoy the forest and the view over the dam.

Selected contents from this journal
Languages of publication
In May 2011, at the Faculty of Chemistry of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, in the attempt to diagnose the actual causes of student plagiarism, a survey has been conducted. On the basis of the analysis of the responses conclusions can be drawn about whether comprehensive and systematic release of information to the students on the conditions of plagiarism, the necessity of its avoidance, and warnings against its consequences are a sufficient preventative measure and what is the student's view on the actual causes of plagiarism and the ways they should be taught to avoid it? In the article, the description of the tests, their results and author's conclusions are presented.

Nowadays, an increasing number of professional athletes are acknowledging the hardships and struggles that minorities and underprivileged sections of society face in receiving access to education in search of brighter futures. While it is true that many athletes do make it a point to involve themselves with charity organizations, or set up trusts or foundations of their own, their true agendas are often questionable. A number of professional athletes set up haphazard charity and community enrichment initiatives only to further their own public relations agendas. It is usually athletes who have grown up witnessing the difficulties faced by underprivileged populations that show genuine interest in helping and giving back to their communities. Let us take a look at some of the biggest names in baseball and their efforts towards improving the opportunities that minorities and disadvantaged communities get:
Babe Ruth is arguably the best professional baseball player in the history of the game. Ruth holds a number of phenomenal records including a stunning career batting average of .342 and a home run record that has only been surpassed by a few since his time. However, Ruth was also hugely concerned with charity, establishing the Babe Ruth Foundation. The Babe Ruth Foundation was set up as non-profit initiative with all proceeds going towards the betterment of the quality of life that disadvantaged children experienced in Maryland. The organization is committed to celebrating and preserving the sports heritage of the state and the legacy of the legend himself.
If ever there was a 'good guy' award in baseball, Hank Aaron would surely claim it. Aaron has spoken of the importance of setting up well-structured and well-planned charity organizations, in the pursuit of enriching the lives of underprivileged societies and minority populations, on numerous occasions. Aaron established the Hank Aaron Chasing The Dream Foundation in the year 1994, that was intended to support talented and ambitious youth to pursue a career in baseball. He also co-founded the World Children's Baseball Fair initiative, along with fellow great Sadaharu Oh in the year 1989, with the organization becoming widely recognized for its efforts in engendering principles of teamwork, camaraderie and inclusion on a global scale.
Most people can recite Barry Bonds' career statistics on request. Such was the prolific career that Bonds had, evidenced by his inclusion into Baseball's Hall of Fame. However, few are aware of the notable contributions that Barry Bonds made towards improving the quality of life that the African-American youth experienced within communities in the Bay Area. Bonds set up the the Barry Bonds Family Foundation in the year 1993 that struggled in its initial years for funding.
However, Bonds remained untroubled, and at one point invested his own personal wealth into the initiative to keep it afloat. Today, the foundation is thriving, with the Link n' Learn project, its most notable initiative aimed to aid students of poor academic standing coming from low-income families. The project integrates methodologies of individual tutoring with access to interactive technology, as well as high emphasis on parental participation in a child's development.

Why aren't there scholarships for straight white men?
Below is the recommendation and reference answer for question "Why aren't there scholarships for straight white men?" It was collected and sorted by the editor of this site but not sure the answer is entirely accurate.
Because we're rich and we have all the advantages. Haven't you heard? Pffft
i heard about hispanic, black, and asian organizations that focus on helping people of their own race in general, so that's why there would be more of these scholarships for minority races. these organizations usually exist because there was a need to help minority races...i really haven't heard of much white organizations(since there wasn't really a huge need for one), but i wouldn't mind if there were scholarships for disadvantaged white guys/girls
Becasue historically blacks were excluded from all scholarships. They couldn't even apply to "communal" schools. Over several generations, this took a toll on black families and black communities. In an effort to create the steepest learning and opportunity curve, to make up for lost time, and the many lives that never had an opportunities, people wanted to create scholarships to help these families. In general, white men get their fair share of scholarships. if you want a scholarship becasue you feel white men need special opportunities to make up for a historical wrongs, I don't get it, but maybe some group has one. If I were you, I'd just apply for the many scholarships out there. If you qualify, you'll probably get one. I know many white men who obtained scholarships without any problems.
I'd be surprised if there isn't a scholarship, actually. Not even one by a white supremacist group? That seems strange. I wonder if there are indirect ones, like scholarships for those like Irish or Czech or some other kind of descent. And, of course, straight white men always get scholarships anyway.
Really, scholarships are often set up by others looking to make sure others have a chance. White straight males have historically had the best chance, hence a lesser reason for them to establish some along those lines. Whereas successful black, Asian, Hispanic, etc. people set up scholarships, it's because they had a hard time and sometimes give back because they only succeeded because they had those scholarships. White men who are straight set usually don't feel like any difficulty came from their gender, race, or sexual orientation, so they tend to set scholarships up with different concerns.
I'm a straight white male, and I earned some very generous scholarships. I'm also Jewish, but for the purpose of many of the ones I got I was a straight white male nonetheless. I had half my college tuition paid before I even took a class, all due to merit rather than my background.
Really, look for merit-based scholarships, or take other considerations into concern. If you have financial difficulties, go with that angle. I'd exhaust every angle you have before giving up. Apply still for communal ones, since it's not so stacked against white people as many seem to think.
You might want to change the category.

Denis Azabagic is one of the most compelling classical guitarists on the international concert circuit today. He performs around the globe, maintaining a balance between solo recitals, chamber music with the Cavatina Duo (with his wife, flutist Eugenia Moliner), and engagements as soloist with orchestras.
In 1993, at the age of 20, Azabagic became the youngest winner of the prestigious Jacinto e Inocencio Guerrero International Guitar Com-petition in Madrid, Spain. Between 1992 and1999 he won 24 prizes in international competitions, including 11 first prizes. His book, On Competitions, based on his experience during these years, is published by Mel Bay.
Azabagic has recorded 10 CDs for several international labels including Naxos, Cedille, Opera Tres, Bridge, and Orobroy, plus two DVDs for the Mel Bay Company. Critics have praised his recordings and live performances for his elegant approach to music and unique way of communicating and reaching audiences’ hearts.
As a guest instrumentalist and soloist, Azabagic has appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Sinfonietta, Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra, Illinois Symphony Orchestra, Sacramento Chamber Orchestra, Madrid Symphony, Traverse Symphony, Monterrey Symphony, and L’Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Mons, among others.
He has performed at Chicago’s Symphony Center; Savannah on Stage; the Ravinia Festival; the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam (on the Masters of the Guitar series); the Aix en Provence Festival in France; El Palau de la Musica in Valencia, Spain; the National Chang Kai-Shek Cultural Center in Taiwan; the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, China; and on Radio France in Paris.
Azabagic’s repertoire includes solo and orchestral music from the Baroque era to the present. As a member of the Cavatina Duo, he plays a vast chamber music repertoire, including many works written expressly for the duo.
Azabagic’s love for performing extends to sharing his knowledge of music-making with others. He frequently offers master classes while on tour, teaches at University of Illinois, and is the head of the guitar department at Roosevelt University in Chicago.
Praise for Denis Azabagic
“The recital by Bosnian guitarist Denis Azabagic was certainly the finest guitar recital that I have heard in a lifetime of concert-going, and one of the best concerts of any kind I have heard.”|
—NC Arts Journal
“Once he started playing his guitar he became ageless. One couldn’t imagine where the man, the instrument and the music separated, if at all.”
—Los Angeles Valley Star
“Azabagic’s playing is virtually flawless and his technical facility is a joy to see as well as hear; increasingly I hear him mentioned in the same breath as John Williams, and while such comparisons are invidious, this one is not without merit.”
Denis Azabagic uses D’Addario strings.

About 111th Sustainment Brigade
111th Sustainment Brigade
The 111th Sustainment Brigade is a sustainment brigade of the New Mexico Army National Guard, headquartered at Rio Rancho.
The brigade was organized as the 111th Air Defense Artillery Brigade of the United States Army. Equipped with the M42 Duster self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, subordinate battalions of the 111th ADA Brigade served as divisional air defense artillery units of National Guard divisions but were under the administrative control of Headquarters, 111th Air Defense Artillery Brigade.
The 111th Air Defense Artillery Brigade headquarters became the 111th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade headquarters during 2005. Similar to a special troops battalion, its mission was to support units of the Regular Army. The 111th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade headquarters deployed to Guantanamo Bay and Kosovo. On 1 September 2016, the brigade was redesignated, once again, as a sustainment brigade that focuses on providing mission command for combat support and combat service support units. The brigade is designed to operate independently in a theater of operations, in conjunction with other sustainment brigades under the command of a sustainment command (expeditionary), or directly under a theater sustainment command. Following the sustainment brigade conversion, the 111th included the 111th Special Troops Battalion, 515th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, and 615th Transportation Battalion.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, the 115-strong brigade headquarters was sent to Puerto Rico in November 2017 for a month-long deployment supporting relief efforts under Joint Task Force-Puerto Rico. Under the command of Colonel Jamison Herrera, it served as the headquarters for relief efforts in San Juan.
Most recently, the 111th Sustainment Brigade has supported the on-going COVID-19 response efforts. The 111th has supported this effort by providing Personal Protective Equipment warehousing support, Rapid Response Team support to COVID-19 testing sites, long term health care facility cleaning, the establishment of alternate care sites, vaccine distribution and administration, and humanitarian support to the communities of New Mexico, the Pueblos, and the Navajo Nation.
The 111th Sustainment Brigade is not a unit of the Texas Army National Guard and is lot located within Texas. It is associated with Texas through the Divisional Alignment Program under the 36th Infantry Division.

The Tender Mysteries Series of Inspirational American Historical Romance: After a flood annihilates a wagon train in 1888, eleven female survivors build a life in Hope, Nebraska.
RICOCHET, Book Five of the Tender Mysteries Series
The Countryside Outside Fremont, Nebraska
Was that a woman lying near the river?
Or just her clothes?
Emile shaded his eyes from the morning sun and leaned back in his saddle. Sitting astride his golden palomino, sixty yards from the Platte River, he saw a brown and white pinto grazing on lush summer grass not far from what looked like a woman's yellow dress lying near the river.
August, 1896. After searching for his father's killer for five years, Emile Hausman thinks he's finally found the thieving brute. Just when he's about to get justice, Bonnie enters his life.
She's hurt; she's alone...and she doesn't remember who she is.
Emile sets aside his need for justice, and, as he nurses the lovely Bonnie back to health, he falls deeply in love.
Emile and Bonnie are blissfully happy until horrific secrets from Bonnie's past throw them into a world so dark only true love can ensure their survival.

It takes the shape of a crossover, or MPV, and will be built on on the F6's platform (same as the F6DM, which could be sold in Europe by 2010)."BYD Cars projected the battery had a life of 2,000 cycles, for a lifetime range of about 600,000 km (373,000 miles)".. that was perfectly awesome! “They are very competent in the battery business,” Nick Reilly, president of the General Motors Asia-Pacific region, said of BYD. “I think they’ve got a fair way to go on the car side of the business. But they are certainly not to be ignored. They have a great deal of support from the Chinese government.”The Detroit show “is an excellent platform to measure ourselves against international standards,” said He Guohua, a Brilliance vice president.The company, which said it has 35,000 employees and $4.5 billion in assets, is showing four cars in Detroit, including a sports car and a luxury sedan.b“They are all really nicely done,” Mr. Champion said.

Accelerate Maryland Partners cleared to launch project design and community engagement as part of collaborative predevelopment work
“We commend Maryland leaders for advancing this historic project – one that will deliver a smart, integrated transportation system that puts moving more people first,” said Pierce Coffee, president Transurban North America. “By delivering more travel options, like free and faster trips for buses and carpoolers, travelers across Montgomery and Frederick Counties will spend less time in traffic and more time doing what matters most to them, all while opening up Maryland’s economy for long-term growth.”
Phase 1 South of the New American Legion Bridge I-270 Traffic Relief Plan proposes to add two high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes from the George Washington Memorial Parkway in Virginia, across the American Legion Bridge, and along I-270 to I-70 in Maryland. When completed, the new Express Lanes are expected to reduce system wide delays by up to 34% during peak travel periods and reduce congestion-related delays on local roads by seven percent. Phase 1 South is also expected to create an estimated 7,500 new jobs and deliver $3 billion in economic impact for Maryland.
“AM Partners will employ innovative technologies and leverage decades of experience in transportation infrastructure to deliver the future of transportation in Maryland,” said Mark Bradshaw, head of Infrastructure Investment and Development at Macquarie Capital. “Our team’s strategy is centered on collaboration and inclusion – forming deep community partnerships with small businesses, and minority, women and veteran-owned businesses to ensure opportunity is accessed across the project corridor.”
Through an international competitive process, AM Partners was selected by Maryland for the team’s demonstrated experience delivering complex, billion-dollar transportation solutions along some of the Greater Washington Area’s most congested corridors. AM Partners’ proposal features extensive commitments to local communities, including expanded transit services worth $300 million, $50 million in community grants over a 50-year agreement, an estimated $5 million for Vision Zero improvements during construction and enhanced water quality protections. The proposal also includes a comprehensive approach to local workforce development including partnerships with small businesses and minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses; union, non-union and local contractor involvement and engagement with local community organizations and educational institutions.
Approvals of AM Partner’s Phase P3 Agreement enables a predevelopment work phase to begin, alongside Maryland’s transportation agencies including MDOT, State Highway Administration and MDTA, to engage stakeholders and communities in the design of the project, ensuring impacts are minimized for residents, drivers and the environment. Predevelopment work will progress in coordination with the ongoing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process expected to be completed in the second half of 2022.
AM Partners is also progressing a competitive solicitation for a design and construction partner and released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in late July to the design and construction industry. The proposal includes a commitment to incorporate local workforce development encouraging partnerships with small, minority, women and veteran-owned businesses. Upcoming outreach events to engage interested small businesses, and minority, women and veteran-owned businesses or individuals on project opportunities will be announced shortly.
MDOT will seek approval by Maryland’s BPW for a Section P3 Agreement for Phase 1 South, the first segment of the project to be constructed between the American Legion Bridge and I-370, in late 2022, followed by construction. The Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision under NEPA from the Federal Highway Administration will be completed prior to final BPW approvals of the Section P3 Agreement.
About AM Partners
The AM Partners consortium is led by Transurban and Macquarie Capital, whose collective experience spans more than 90 successful P3 projects globally, including Virginia’s 495, 95 and 395 Express Lanes network – the largest urban P3 toll network in the U.S. with all segments delivered on time and on budget. The consortium seeks to extend the benefits of Virginia’s neighboring Express Lanes network that has saved more than seven million drivers a total of 17 million hours of time, while generating an estimated $7 billion in economic impact and 46,000 jobs in the Greater Washington Area through its development and construction since 2012. AM Partners was selected in February 2021 as Maryland’s preferred Developer for the American Legion Bridge I-270 to I-70 Relief Plan. AccelerateMarylandPartne

Being the only person in my family with an insatiable passion for art, I had to carry out a lot of extensive research when it came time for me to select a university. After trawling through various online forums and attending a multitude of education fairs, I came upon SCAD. SCAD stood out from the rest because of its outstanding Illustration program – a course I really wanted to pursue, in a subject area I feel very passionate about.
During my research, I discovered that SCAD’s Illustration department’s reputation was not only sparkling in the eyes of the students studying there, but it is also influential to the artists in the industry. I believed that SCAD was the place that would be able to help me develop as an artist and support me in all ways possible in my journey to achieve artistic brilliance. That is why I decided to explore my innate love for art at an institution that holds art and artists in high regard – SCAD.
After joining SCAD, I made it a priority to be involved in the community as much as possible, as I hold the firm belief that art is a collaborative, iterative process and there are many opportunities to develop and learn as an artist by communicating and collaborating with students and staff from different faculties. In light of this belief, I participated actively in SCAD-Atlanta’s Uni event.
I also volunteered as a booth member for the International Cultural Festival in Savannah and helped out during the SCAD student scholarship fund raising event that happened during the Spring Quarter, following that experience up with work as an orientation adviser and student greeter during the summer and fall quarter orientation. The events really allowed me to familiarize myself with the staff and students of SCAD from diverse faculties.
Being in SCAD not only allowed me to meet many people from different faculties and industry professionals, it has also provided me with opportunities to work with them to enhance my own skills. And for that I am grateful. I look forward to working collaboratively with even more peers and faculty members in the future.
This past year, the Sham Shui Po Christmas Lighting Council asked SCAD Hong Kong’s 3D Design Class to design an installation for the Sham Shui Po District (located in Kowloon, Hong Kong). Design Your Day Coordinator Andrea van Hitum worked with other students in Hong Kong to develop a concept and charetter for the installation. Their concept was to “put character into the park”. Andrea’s idea was to have 12 different elves around the park. After much time and a lot of hard work they presented their ideas to the Sham Shui Po government. They decided to pick certain designs from each group and Andrea’s elves were chosen! The installation was displayed over the holidays.

During my first year of SCAD, I had an amazing Drawing I professor. She was really strict with making sure we drew exactly what we saw. When it came to the final project however, she gave us a lot more freedom and told us to draw “for the sake of the drawing,” rather than draw everything that we saw. The change was really nice since it was a drawing we needed to spend 30+ hours working on. The first day we started the drawing there was a large mound of junk in the middle of the room, and we had to find a section we wanted to draw. I chose a mannequin head wearing a Batman mask, and a porcelain duck with a missing tale as my focal points. I poured my heart and soul into the still life drawing and developed a story to go along with it. The fact that I could visually edit items out of my composition really helped with my “story” or concept. It is still one of my favorite pieces, and I love telling people the story behind it. I tell everyone that the porcelain duck cut off Bat girls head so she bit off his tale as revenge. It is a silly little drawing, but I love it and wouldn’t change anything about it.
During my second quarter at SCAD my classmates and I were having challenges with our 3D modeling and lighting project. Professor Maloney, the basic character setup instructor knew that the class was in need of an extra tutoring session. The only problem was scheduling a session that would fit all of our busy schedules. As graduate students most of us are working professionals and have many obligations and expectations. To resolve the situation Professor Maloney scheduled an 8pm -12am tutoring session to accommodate all students who wanted help with their 3D models. Not only did the professor stay until the end of the scheduled session at midnight, he also did not rush out of the door to get to his other responsibilities. Instead he asked us if we had any final questions and made sure that we were in good shape before he left. 3-D animation is a very tedious and time -consuming process. It was reassuring to know that my professor wanted all of us to succeed and I was in a class full of hard working individuals.

Downy: Go Inside a
Using 360° Video to drive engagement with the Downy brand.
About the project
Not so long ago, Downy put a GoPro inside of a washing machine to show viewers just how rough a typical washing cycle can be on clothing. Needless to say, getting an inside look at what happens on the other side of the washer door fascinated viewers. So, to take their one-of-a-kind video to the next level, Downy reached out to our team through creative agency POSSIBLE to recreate the experience in 360°. They wanted to immerse viewers in a way that would once again show the havoc that washing machines can wreak on clothing, while also demonstrating how Downy helps clothes fight back by preventing stretching, fading, and fuzz.
The experience begins in the Downy testing lab where two Downy technicians are dropping articles of clothing into a washing machine. As the clothes fall into the washer, the viewer is slowly submerged into the water alongside them.
As effortless as this shot appears in the finished experience, it presented our team with an interesting challenge. We needed a way to smoothly submerge our cameras into the drum of the washing machine without a rigging system or camera operator appearing in the finished shot.
To meet this challenge, we built a custom motion control slider on a Raspberry Pi platform, which allowed us to control the camera movement remotely. We suspended the motorized slider from the ceiling, strategically placed it in between the two cameras, and completely hid it in the overlap of the footage.
The opening scene – after being brought to life in the editing room – creates a true sense of presence for viewers as they descend into the washer.
Live action meets CG animation
As the experience continues, the video seamlessly transitions from live action footage of the Downy facility to a computer-generated (CG) underwater scene where viewers are surrounded by a swirl of bubbles and clothing. Through the use of CG animation, we show cozy cardigans and date night dresses floating through the water as Downy detergent soaks into the fabrics to protect them from the washing cycle. These visuals, combined with a custom underwater soundscape, work together to give viewers a real sense of being in the water.
Live action meets CG animation
Immersive experiences like this are a great way for brands to connect with their audiences in a fresh new way. Done well, they can captivate viewers and generate far more interest than standard video alone. In fact, a recent study by Google tested the effectiveness of a 360 Video ad against its standard video version and found that the 360 ad drove 41% more views, shares, and subscribes than the standard ad.
From places as familiar as a washing machine to completely dreamt up worlds, the creative combination of live action 360 Video and computer-generated graphics makes it possible to immerse viewers in nearly any scene imaginable. To learn more about how our 360 Video production services can drive engagement with your brand, get in touch below.
