Amelia Earhart

View From Above More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination. — Wilbur Wright: one of the first men to experience the sense of flying ~ ~ ~ Looking down, I see the fields of the Snohomish Valley. I see the twisting, glistening river as it flows out towards the sound. I see the roads lit with the reflections of the sun on the…

unique look at the country. Although her story was outside the Villages gates, it began in the Village with her husband of fifty-one year. A journey she always wanted to take with her husband, but could only take us instead. From the tour of Amelia Earhart 's home to the Chautauqua Institute in New York, we met friends and faces only she could share with us. Later, in June, we had the pleasure of meeting bay area native CeCe and Jeff Slavich, one of the Villages ' most recent residents at that…

drafted an illusion that induces lower standards for themselves. Now not only men, but even women are doubtful of their potential because of this continuous harassment pertaining to a woman’s strength. Somehow, they stand for it. They forget about Amelia Earhart- the first woman to cross the atlantic in 1928, and Frances Perkins- the first female to enter the presidential cabinet…

incorrect – which is part of the point. In the commercial, they showed a collage of photographs and film footage of people who have invented and inspired, created and sacrificed to improve the world, to make a difference. Photographs of Bob Dylan, Amelia Earhart, Frank Lloyd Wright, Maria Callas, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., Jim Henson, Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, Mahatma Gandhi, and on and on and on. As the images rolled by, a voice read this…

Power Naps: A Wake up Call to Improved Efficiency The secret to becoming more productive is not managing your time but your energy. We live in a society where long productive hours seem necessary to meet a deadline, cram for finals or juggle everyday responsibilities. But let 's face it folks...at some point our bodies begin to shut down, our systems are fried and it 's time to reboot. Traditionally, caffeine product use provides the necessary jolt to get the system started. However, a power…

My classroom observation took place in a second grade inclusion classroom at the W.L. Morse School in Tarrytown, N.Y. The classroom consisted of one general education teacher, a special education teacher, and a teacher’s assistant. There were 22 students in the classroom and eleven of these students had IEP’s. Four of the students were ELL students. Throughout the day students were pulled for speech and occupational/physical therapy. In addition, an ELL teacher would push in for math and…

Flappers- Flappers were young women from the 1920 's who defied traditional rules of conduct and dress. The change amounted to a revolution in manners and morals. Flappers defied their contempt for what was then considered behavior that was common. The short hair styles, shorter dresses, the enjoyment of jazz music, the act of smoking and drinking and wearing makeup is what distinguished them from other women. Flappers helped redefine the role of women at a large extent. Flappers began to become…

situation the world would probably be utter chaos. Imagine if we didn 't have some of the influential women in our society now. Women like Marie Stopes (creator of birth control and sex education), Michelle Obama (first lady of the united states), Amelia Earhart (first women pilot, and the first to fly over the atlantic ocean), Angela Merkel (first female chancellor presiding over the most powerful European economy), J.K. Rowling (multi million dollar author-wrote Harry Potter), Rosa Parks…

From the beginning of time, both men and women have been contrasted by certain characteristics that both demean and belittle both genders. These characteristics have led to categorizing men and women by jobs, interests, and abilities. Men, as a whole, are considered strong, unemotional, simple minded, and hard working. Women have been dramatically characterized as weak, caretaking, smarter than men, and emotional. The art of advertising and marketing has evolved into sending negative messages to…

Chic Fil A is one of the largest chain restaurants in the united states. Yet it seems to have no marketing when compared to its competitors. Often you can hear McDonald's jingles on the radio and see a new commercial on television for a new burger from Burger king, yet the same cannot be said for Chick Fil A where sometimes their advertisements seem uncommon if not non existent. How come a company that went from sales of 1 billion dollars in 2000 to 6 billion in 2015, seem to have barely any…
