Ruby Dee said it best, “The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity.” This is one of my favorite inspirational quotes because of the depth of the definition of beauty. Beauty has always been determined by the physical features of an individual, and it actually goes deeper than the skin’s surface. Understanding this statement separates the strong from the weak, and it is my personal goal to be among the strong. I want to possess the strength

None of the members were related; they just chose Ramone as a surname. In 1976 they came out with their debut album, Ramones. Their sound consisted of a really raw, stripped down effect, and a signature, guttural chant of “1, 2, 3, 4” Dee Dee exclaimed at the beginning of their songs to start them off. The group wasn’t extremely popular until they traveled
The Beauty of Nature The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that so often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, hidden behind the heavy mists. There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. Not on that day. That evening, the yellow light was sickly. It diffused softly through the gray curtains with a shrouded light that just failed to illuminate. High up in the treetops
Ophelia, daughter of Claude, was born to be leader of the Edean tribe-the descendents of dragons. The tribe had a sacred temple that could only be opened with a special ruby crystal, which was made into a necklace that hung on the neck of Princess Ophelia. As a child, Ophelia was full of curiosity. She gaped at the ancient statues of her ancestors and would spend hours reading the tales of the noble Edean warriors. But out of all, she loved the legend of Arcadia-the Dragon Lord, who was once the
an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.) lasers were first introduced in 1960, The first successfully optical laser constructed by Maiman (1960), was a ruby crystal surrounded by a helicoilal flash tube enclosed within a polished aluminum cylindrical cavity cooled by forced air. The ruby cylinder forms a Fabry-Perot cavity by optically polishing the ends to be parallel to within a third of a wavelength of light. Each end was coated with evaporated silver; one end was
tool that was able to strengthen, or amplify radio and light waves. The first laser was made in California in 1960. It was built by Theodore Maiman along with a group of American scientists. The material they used for a concentrator was a man- made ruby. This was done by, coiling a simple flash tube around a rod, and beaming powerful flashes of light at it. The result was pulses of red laser light. Once they made the device they had to name it. They had think of some word or words to described it

Cindy Sherman Terror and mockery come together in the portraits of Cindy Sherman on display at the Crocker Art Museum. Walking into the large, dimly lit ballroom, one may begin to feel a slight sense of trepidation as the viewer looks around to find nine sets of beady eyes watching one’s every move. Sherman produced her History Portraits during the late eighties and early nineties, nine of which are displayed at the museum. In her portraits she uses lush fabrics, lavish jewelry, and false body

Ruby Archuleta and Amarante Cordova Define Community Community is defined as a group a people living in an area under the same conditions. Realistically, a community is so much more than this definition. It is people and their different beliefs that form a community. In the town of Milagro, Amarante Cordova, Ruby Archuleta, and a town coming together to rescue a fellow community member from jail exemplify the true spirit of what community is. Ruby Archuleta makes the biggest difference
previous verse pertaining to the human avatār and expresses disappointment at the plight of man who in spite of being born in human form, is unaware and oblivious to the secret to salvation. Such a person’s lifespan is a worthless like an untreated ruby. The first line of the verse, which is rather similar to the closing line of the previous verse, is a reiterative statement pertaining to the nobility, potential and purpose of mānkhā avatār or human birth.

Jimmy and Ruby are the most obvious victims in Stolen, but all suffer in their different ways. Discuss The most obvious victims in a tragedy like the Stolen generation are those in whom the pain and suffering endured is visible to all. Jane Harrison’s ‘Stolen’ presents Ruby and Jimmy as the most obvious victims but not necessarily the greatest, as may be naively assumed. The remaining characters, Anne, Shirley and Sandy all suffer huge depths of despair, yet their suffering appears to lessen to
out of things so easily and being around my aunt was the main problem. Naturally, when ever I would come to her with a problem, concern, or a question wondering what I should do, she would always tell me to make up a good lie and run with it. “Aunt Ruby, I told April that I would go to the movies with her, but I would rather go to Jessica’s house and go to the mall with her.” “Tell April you’re sick,” she would say. And most often I would. But I didn’t seem blessed with her lack of principles. On

People thought it was suspicious that Jack Ruby was able to get so close to Oswald. He was able to do this because he was known by many of the officers
story. We first meet Ruby while she is coming in from a storm with a package of coffee wrapped in newspaper from a man from Tennessee. We find out later that she has a habit of hitchhiking and picking up men from Tennessee. Welty writes, “When Clyde would make her blue, she would go out onto the road, some car would slow down, and if it had a Tennessee license, the lucky kind, the chances were that she would spend the afternoon in the shed of the empty gin” (14). When Ruby comes in out of the rain
run over by a careless rich person" (453). However, Dee is described as "lighter than Maggie, with nice hair and a fuller figure" (454). Just from the physical description, the readers can infer that Dee is the "prettier" of the two. Though they are totally opposites in physical features, both girls share a central theme. Alice Walker uses something as simple as a quilt to develop the central theme. This theme is that both daughters, Dee and Maggie, are confused about the meaning of their heritage
