Flower Boy: Tyler the Creator's New Album
October 17, 2017
Filed under Entertainment
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
With unique raps and sporadic beats, Tyler the Creator's album, "Flower Boy", was released July 21, 2017. The majority of the songs consist of unrequited love, conviction, and a side of bumble bees.. 43 minutes, 13 songs, and about 10 transitions, "Flower Boy" keeps an overall chill vibe that cannot be argued otherwise. Some may even say that the success of this album has attracted "band wagons" or maybe even new dedicated fans. With the many features of artists including ASAP Rocky, Estelle, BIlly Ocean and many more, the album has hit top 10 on Itunes charts.
"I think Flower Boy is one of Tyler's best albums so far. Cherry Bomb(former album) is one of the good ones but "Flower Boy" surpasses "Cherry Bomb". The creativeness and just the way he talks to his audience made everything about "Flower Boy" amazing." says Rene Santillan, Senior.
The fourth song on his array of masterpieces, "See You Again," was by far my most favorite, mainly because it has a mixture of singing and personified raps filled with imagery and sarcasm. The rap is catchy and has such an edgy yet groovy vibe accompanying the lyrics. That tell a story. As mentioned earlier the transitions from song to song really accent the album's name. Each song is held to a neo soul hip hop quota, leaving listeners in a euphoric state.
"It's a chill vibe it's not like his other music where he's screaming," laughed Santillan.
On repeat I would listen to "Cherry Bomb" and bask in the the unique coalition of genres. As soon as "Flower Boy" was released, a musical rebirth occurred in my art. I'm not trying to sound dramatic or follow the rubric of a stereotypical band wagon, mainly because I am not a "bandwagon", but I do feel as though the release of this album has allowed me to take the action in paying close attention to the lyrics connecting and relating them to my views on love and confidence.
I advise many students to take the time and listen to "Flower Boy". Do be warned, the producers of this album suggests parental advisory. Besides the explicit use of choice words the premise of this album has a very relatable story to it. For those who love good music and an occasional laugh this album will definitely meet the cut.

Powered by Ghost
May 16, 2015
Hello World!
I wanted to start blogging years ago and it's time to start. I've chosen Ghost for my blog, hosted it on DigitalOcean and bought template made by EckoThemes from ThemeForest.
Mostly I'll write technical articles. Currently I feel real passion to Node.js and want to dig it further, that's one of the reasons why I've chosen Ghost for blogging, since it's built on Node.js. I really like how simple it's comparable to Wordpress and it uses Markdown syntax for posts, which is also pleasant to use.
Stay tuned!

Several years after I moved from Maine to Massachusetts I received a phone call from my mother where she was excited to share something with me that she'd found that day. It was a used book shop not far from where she lived, and she could not recall my ever mentioning having been there before to her.
She was quite correct. I quickly corrected this oversight and visit the store any and every chance I get to when I visit Maine.
Owner David Young is a self-taught antiquarian dealer in books, having spent years as a security guard and in the army reserve. Entering the shop (once you peruse the bargains set outside the door on the front porch), you typically find David sitting behind the low glass display case counter standing watch over his more valuable inventory. He offers a friendly hello and a 'knowing' smile, for he is aware (as you are about to find out), that 'magic' awaits you inside his store.
The room shown in the above photograph sits a few steps below the entrance, just beyond the signed editions and bargain closet where you will find just about anything culled from each and every section of the store's inventory to make room for other items. The fiction (divided into mysteries, children's, general fiction, and a very healthy section of classics) lines the perimeter of the floor space, with non-fiction (everything from arctic exploration to zebra appreciation) shelved on the spaces in between. Neatly stacked against the shelves are cartons of those items more recently obtained and are always worth digging into the boxes all the way to the bottom (where I have personally unearthed many books that I've purchased).
The store owner has been known to say to me, as I approached him with my selections, "Guess it was worth the drive.", whereas I one day mentioned living out of state and always trying to put his store into my itinerary when I visited Maine. He's quite knowledgeable about his inventory, and occasionally offers up his own experience with reading what I've selected to purchase for my own enjoyment. His friendly, no-pressure interaction with his customers (at least with me) always makes the conversation enjoyable, and he has even offered to try to find a book I might be looking for that he doesn't happen to have and simply 'set it aside' for when I 'come up again'.
I have yet to leave this store empty-handed, which to me always makes a stop there worthwhile. While I owe my successful shopping trips to the store in part to the two hour distance I live from the store and the fact that I (sadly) cannot visit it more often than I do, (therefore he always has plenty new for me to look at); it is also due in large part to the tremendous variety of books he carries, and the incredibly affordable pricing. While the shop does carry rare and antiquarian selections ranging in the hundreds of dollars in price; the average book will set you back only four to eight dollars apiece.
While I don't necessarily subscribe to the theory that moms are always right – in this instance, Mom didn't lead me astray.
Located at 176 U.S. Route 1 (locals refer to it as 'Old Route 1') in Freeport, ME, The Freeport Book Shoppe is a reader's paradise just waiting for you to pay a call. Hours are (at present) listed as:
Open year-round: Hours tend to be a little more flexible in the winter months.
Summer Hours: Monday through Saturday 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Sundays: By chance, usually 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Winter Hours: Monday through Saturday 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Sundays: By chance, usually 10:00 AM- 4:00 PM
Happy Reading!


text: The squash bin at the grocery store looked like it was filled with ducks. Ok maybe it's just the artist in me, but I had to laugh. Then I stood there trying to pick out the perfect squash/duck to paint. I hope no one was watching, they would think I'm nuts.


text:
The owners have already moved out and just dropped the price $15k. So we offered them a bit more than their asking price if they'll fix the paint.
And they said yes. Wow. Whee. It's actually going to happen.
Now we just have to get the paperwork done and furniture moved in before Laura goes into labor . . . .

We like to spend our money on different programs and products to give a complete and honest review. That's the entire basis behind I've Tried That. But, every so often we come across programs that are just downright evil and we refuse to contribute any money to the owner's attempts at ripping others off. The Guru Enforcer is one such program.
A Presell Page as Ugly as They Come
I had the rather unfortunate experience of having to read through the entire presell page. Not only was it aesthetically unpleasant, but it was also a grammatical nightmare. At the very least, the author could have ran the text through some sort of spell check program. If you've read my How To: Spot the Presell Page before and have the courage to view the page (No, I won't link to it), then you'll see some striking similarities.
The page starts off with obnoxious bold flashing text that basically calls the reader stupid. Great hook, right? Continue down the page and you'll see enough yellow-backgrounded text to make your eyes burn. If you aren't blinded by the repugnant text, you'll see more than enough Clickbank images to make your head spin. It's also safe to say that every Clicbank image on the page is doctored with one exception: the image showing a balance of $0.00. How can I be so sure? The author uses overlapping dates and simply changes the numbers around to show exuberant earnings.
Gurus, Secret Groups, and Unicorns
What do they all have in common? They don't exist. I'm completely sick of looking at the word guru and hearing about secret affiliate groups where members sit around and drink liquefied gold in their floating palaces. It's all a big marketing scam. The author claims to have tried over 50 different online programs and offers quick reviews on each one. They are all negative for the simple reason of making it look like the product at hand is the golden opportunity. I'll put it simply: it's not.
Finally, a product isn't even for sale on this given page. Once you reach the bottom, you'll be linked to yet ANOTHER presell page where the author of the Guru Enforcer will be given commission granted you make a purchase. I haven't tried it, nor will I be trying it.
My Very Own Ebook
In all honesty, I'm fairly confident I can create my own ebook, market it, and sell it for
$97 $47 and make a nice chunk of change for a few months. But I won't for one simple reason: I'll be literally robbing others of their money. It's beyond my mental capacity how sites like The Guru Enforcer and LegitOnlineJobs are legally allowed to exist. For now, avoid these types of ebooks like the plague. They are simply a waste of time and money.

There's only ONE program I really recommend. It helped me turn my 'hobby' into a $10,000+ per month money making machine. Click here for the exact formula I followed.


text: The premise of the workshop is that many Christians believe that the story of Jesus is true but have never internalized that story and have not experienced Jesus. Knowledge about Jesus is good, but experience of Jesus is essential to understanding him and fully committing oneself to him. The depth of Christian commitment is in direct correlation to the extent one has identified with the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus. This six-part workshop provides participants the opportunity to reflect on the experiences they have in common with Jesus, and to come to know Jesus in a transforming way.

What others are saying about us...
These sister foundations share a common mission: to advance education and culture in and about Albania. It has been my privilege to follow their development for two decades now, starting during my tenure as the first U. S. Ambassador to Albania and continuing during a personal visit to their Tirana Headquarters last fall. The sustained efforts – and impressive results – exceed the achievements of most other such undertakings.
It took far too long to make them into the fully functional operations they are now, hindered by legal and financial constraints (not to mention obstructionism by entrenched remnants of the ousted communist regime). The endless dedication and motivation of their founder, Drita Ivanaj, and the handful of people she has inspired to help her, have prevailed and the Foundations are now active and will continue to offer additional news about their progress and programs through this site.
Such NGOs providing crucial services are only as good as the motivation and dedication of their staffs, and measuring on such a scale puts the Ivanaj Foundations at the top. Aside from what they have already accomplished, and the further planned projects, the forthcoming Foundations' headquarters in Tirana will soon offer much needed services to the public: a library for researchers and student, a place for meetings, to study, to network, and to exchange ideas globally via computer links, all located on the Foundation's own premises. This 'cultural center' will be a hub of activity pursuing the Foundations' mission, the first of its kind to operate in Albania.
I both endorse and support the work of these Foundations because I have seen the great work they have done so far and their potential to continue to do so in Tirana. I encourage each of you to join me however you can, whether through direct financial support, or in-kind or pro bono contributions to advance education for all these citizens of our NATO ally. These Foundations notably treat equally all comers regardless of their ethnicity, gender or political or religious affiliation.

Great place to carry out activities aimed at Albanians from all backgrounds and ages. As a center that is focused on providing exceptional experiences in anything related to education, culture, science and technology, this is probably one of the best in all of Tirana. Fantastic, super-friendly staff with a superb facility filled with high-tech equipment that makes teaching and learning quite an experience! I cannot recommend The Foundation enough!

Collaborative, positive, dedicated & friendly staff. Thank you for supporting the youth of Albania!

'Election 2012: What Just Happened?' was presented on September 21 in the Grace Gym to an audience of 500 plus which must be a near-record for Abaco. People came from as far as Green Turtle Cay to enjoy this hilarious comedy which has played to rave reviews on several occasions in Nassau and also in Freeport.
Following the past three elections Michael Pintard and David Wallace have put together sketch comedies poking fun at the various political situations– 'If You Don't Laugh You'll Cry' after Election 2002 , 'Count it Again ,Man' after 2007 and now 'Election 2012: What Just happened?', all written as good family entertainment.
This was real 'side splitting' entertainment and the gym was exploding with laughter the entire evening. The programme commenced with a bit of audience participation to get people in the mood for what was to come. Not only was the audience encouraged to shout out to acknowledge where they were from but also to yell for the party they voted for.
The first skit 'Roads dem, dig em up, dig em up,' got everything off to a lively start with the hilarious dialogue and some very funny dance moves to lively Bahamian music. This skit closed with a 'Rasta' selling peanuts who declared that the reason he 'switched' parties was "they dig up my shortcut'.
The skits throughout the evening went on to explore issues surrounding the latest campaign and provided excellent impersonations of the three party leaders and their campaign ploys. Each of the parties endured much lampooning such as 'the FNM being accused of starting Haitian settlements to win votes' while the PLP were said to 'have a plot to convince people that they can change unemployment though they cannot. They will fire 3,000 FNMs and hire 3,000 PLPs – that is job creation.' Also 'special skills required for being a member of the PLP is the ability to make the crab sign and sing the PLP song'.
Each of the actors gave spot on impersonations. Will Smith brilliantly portrayed both Perry Christie and Darrold Miller while David Wallace was very effective as Hubert Ingraham and Tamika Forbes was very amusing as Mother Pratt. Tawari Rodgers portrayed Branville McCartney well though in only a 'bit' part but with the memorable line; "With or without candidates we will win!"
Patrice Johnson stole the show with her portrayal of a Haitian Bahamian mama who switched allegiance to whatever party came through her door, assuring both Obie Wilchcombe and Pakeisha Parker of her support.
At the close of the performance, Michael Pintard stated that he had been asked why it took him so long to write a play this time and he replied that he did not know it would take him this long to heal. He suffered a defeat at the polls as FNM candidate for Cat Island, San Salvador and Rum Cay. During the play he was the butt of many of his own jokes.
While taking a bow he made a plea to all members of the audience to put party politics aside and work together for the good of the country. The entire cast stood at the door to greet people as they exited and thanked them for their support.
Michael Pintard is a very gifted author and three of his hilarious books were on sale. Following the performance he was happy to sign books for all purchasers. 'Election 2012; What Just Happened?' continues its Family Island tour with the next stop being San Salvador in two weeks' time.

J. D. Daniel
What began as a feeling of helplessness to protect his daughter from cruel playground bullying led to an evaluation of how he, and those around him, react to abuse. For many the first reaction is to gather the troops and to fight back, interpreting the age-old Golden Rule as "the person with the Gold rules". But the Golden Rule really says, "Treat others like you would want to be treated." That road can be harder than it seems.
In his talk JD Daniels breaks open our hearts to the pain bullying can cause and provides three steps to embrace the power and spirit of the Golden Rule.

Still enjoying this world, dark romance
This is really a 4 1/2 stars. I enjoyed the story a lot. Again, the world in this series is a bit different than others I have read. Angels and Demons working together to stop a diabolic plan is so much fun. I found this story to be a bit darker than the others because of Koivu's temperament and Micki's past. Koivu is not happy being topside and does not understand the others' acceptance of their situation. He hopes to return to Hell soon and tries not to find a reason to be change that. Micki beats herself up over her poor choices in love. These two bond quickly without acknowledging it until things get extreme. When they hurt each other after Micki learns the truth, my heart went out to both. I came to care for these two a lot. I recommend this story and the series.
I received a copy through Candid Book Reviews, and this is my unsolicited review.

Travel Insurance Protects All Travellers From Risks!
Any unexpected expenses during your travel abroad need to be preplanned well in advance. Travel insurance is indispensable when you are traveling to a foreign country, sometimes you are on your own and any unforeseen incidents such as accidents or illnesses will be borne by you wholly. With Travel insurance your medical expenses or any other unforeseen expenses will be covered.
It's basically an agreement between a traveller and an insurance company by which an insurance company is obliged to cover all the losses that you may incur during the trip abroad. An insured person pays the premium either in single or multiple installments.
Which is the right time to get the travel insurance?
For frequent travelers there are more broad permanent travel insurances that protect you during all your trips that meet certain requirements. Such online travel insurance can be purchased directly from insurance companies but also from travel agents or travel companies.
What happens in case of pre-existing medical conditions?
Anyone with a serious pre-existing medical condition would find it tricky to attain a travel insurance. However, it's not impossible, travel insurance companies exclude all claims related to pre-existing medical conditions. Some insurers will cover for pre-existing conditions without any additional premium. Other travel insurance companies may have a medical screening system, usually carried out over the telephone or online. You are asked a series of questions in order to assess the risk involved and to determine whether you can be given insurance, in such case you may have to pay an additional premium to cover the risk of pre-existing condition, or exclude any claims relating to risk.
What all am I covered for in such insurance?
The most common risks that are covered by travel insurance are flight delays, cancellations, limitations. Theft of luggage, delay or loss of personal possessions up to a certain amount when undeclared and up to any amount when declared and included in the policy is covered under such travel insurance. It will also cover for medical expenses whether due to illness or accident. This includes transportation to and from hospitals and clinics, physicians' fees, medications, etc.
In case of death, all funeral expenses, benefits of accidental death, will be covered by the insurance. Legal coverage such as legal fees, personal liability for accidents in case you are responsible for the accident and have to bear the injured person's medical expense. Moreover, there are other risks for which insurance can be purchased jointly or separately from a regular travel insurance contract.
If you buy a travel package to a high risk destination, chances are that the policy will already contain those clauses, the same is applicable if you hire all the services needed to perform the high risk activities from the same agent. However, you should carefully read the policy before committing to anything and make sure that you are sufficiently protected.

Making Money on Endowments
The Telegraph has a good article explaining how it is possible, if you are well briefed and prepared to take the risk, to make money on endowments by investing in Teps (Traded Endowment Policies).
There is also a novel bonus, if you get the right policy, of earning a nice little lump sum if the original owner of the policy dies.
"Life insurance is sold as part of an endowment policy; when a Tep is sold on, that insurance still covers the person who initially held the policy. But any payment made as a result of that individual's death will be paid into the Tep, says Modray.
It is not necessarily a palatable way of making returns, but a "deed of assignment" when the policy is sold will ensure that the money is added to the fund if the original policyholder dies."
The lesson here is that there is always a way to make money; if you are brave, lucky and well advised.

TPP will lose American jobs. This shoots down Obama's claim that 'free trade agreements' will create jobs
All organized labor totally opposed. Jobs creation is a key national issue. Must be balanced with public sector in a unionized environment.
The Trans Pacific Partnership is in trouble on Capitol Hill. Here's why.
By Ed O'Keefe, congressional reporter with The Washington Post and covered the 2008 and 2012 presidential and congressional elections.
The trade agreement, known as the Trans Pacific Partnership, has been in the works for nearly a decade and would more closely align the economies of the U.S., Canada, Mexico and nine other countries in South America and Asia. The deal would eliminate tariffs on goods and services and generally harmonize dozens of regulations that can often complicate doing business across borders. White House is eager to finish the talks with its would-be trading partners and has been pushing to earn the authority to bypass Congress and quickly approve the deal. But most Democratic lawmakers don't want to give Obama "fast track" trade authority to quickly negotiate and approve the deal.
The resistance could complicate things for Obama on two fronts. First, any sign of serious opposition in Washington will make countries involved in the talks nervous that the American president can't seal the deal back home. But second — and more importantly for The Fix's purposes — Obama has to balance his desire to get a deal with the political needs of congressional Democrats, dozens of whom run the risk of losing their seats in November.
Already, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are opposed to moving forward with granting Obama fast-track authority.
"Everyone would be well-advised just to not push this right now," Reid said late last month. He's generally opposed to large global trade agreements.
Pelosi doesn't oppose the concept of fast-track, but said last week that she is against a bipartisan measure introduced by Sens. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) that would give Obama the authority.
Resistance from Reid and Pelosi usually would be enough to at least ease the White House push. Obama and Vice President Biden have also been directly confronted on the issue in recent weeks by rank-and-file members. But 151 House Democrats co-signed a letter late last year written by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) to voice opposition to fast track authority and the TPP — more than half of the caucus. And during a recent closed-door meeting at the White House, Obama took two questions on the subject, while Biden faced a grilling on the subject at the House Democratic policy retreat last week.
At the White House, Obama heard an earful from Reps. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), two outspoken liberals with close ties to the labor movement and other liberal constituencies.
Kaptur said she had a simple request for Obama: Let Congress and the public see the details of the TPP before Congress is asked to give him fast track authority.
"He did not say yes," she said in a recent interview. "That means that we would be faced with a fast-track vote that would lock our ability to amend without even knowing what's in the agreement. I can't do that. Not when we have $9 trillion of accumulated trade deficit, which is the reason for our budget deficit, because we're losing middle-class jobs in our country and we've outsourced millions of our jobs, a third of our manufacturing base is gone."
Grayson said he wanted to remind Obama that the U.S. faces hundreds of billions of dollars in trade deficits with other countries.
In response, Obama "didn't give me any sense that, any reason to believe that these free trade agreements that are being negotiated now are going to be any different than the ones we've negotiated in the past," Grayson said in a recent interview. "They've consistently, and almost to an unbelievable extend, exacerbated our trade problems. I told the president specifically this: That what's actually happening is that we're buying goods and services from foreigners and creating jobs in their countries and they are not buying our goods nor our services. What they are doing is buying our assets and driving us deeper and deeper into debt. So we lose twice, we lose because those jobs go overseas and because we go deeper and deeper into debt."
Despite the Democratic opposition, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday that "we're going to continue to press" for fast-track authority.
But if Obama pushes too hard, he risks upsetting rank-and-file Democrats and key liberal support groups in the labor and environmental communities that always have concerns with major international trade deals. Upsetting those groups might prompt them to sit on their hands or not spend as much money backing Democratic candidates in November.
But if Obama doesn't push hard enough for fast-track, he risks upending an historic trade deal that would help advance his administration's long-sought "pivot" to Asia and upending similar trade talks underway with European countries.
That's why for now, at least, the White House's push for fast-track trade authority has slowed to a crawl on Capitol Hill.
Frank J. Capria III commented 2015-04-03 13:00:55 -0400James, I am a recent convert to the Green Party. I just left the Democratic Party. I hope you win and can actually lead a progressive charge for America!

I am a journalism student at NYU working on an assignment about the coming elections. I was wondering if you'd have some time today or tomorrow to discuss your candidacy with me, as well as some of your main issues. I was very intrigued by your adoption story and how that factors in to your decision to run for Public Advocate. You can give me a call any time at 917-582-2429. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to speaking with you.

'Real' Halloween
Holy cow our kids were so excited for "real" Halloween. Like I said before, Amos was counting down. More than once he snuck an extra sticker on his advent calendar, in an attempt to make Halloween come faster. To pass the long days until Halloween, Amos and Maggie practiced their door approach again and again. It went like this:
"Knock, knock."
"Trick or treat!"
"Thank you!!!!"
Eventually Amos added in, "We're here for candy" before his "trick or treat."
I thought we had created the perfect Halloween day schedule, but it ended up a little crazier than anticipated. We hit up Eric's work party, went to an early dinner at Happy Sumo, and then came home for a neighbor's party before Eric and the kids went out trick or treating (I was the passer-outer). Dinner at Happy Sumo was a good idea in theory, but it made for a really jammed evening. We wanted the kids to eat something other than candy, and the one thing they are guaranteed to eat every time is edamame. We also ended up having to take one of the cars to Jiffy Lube for emissions/inspections/registration in the middle of all that too. Nothing like waiting until 5 p.m. on the last day of the month =)
We ended up missing the first of the trick or treaters that came by our house, but thankfully Dave was there to hold down the fort until we got there. We never get trick or treaters, but this year we had a lot. If you give out full sized candy bars, they will come.
Eric, Amos, and Maggie lasted much longer than I thought they would and they brought home a ton of candy. They were so excited, I think it's safe to say their first time trick or treating was a huge success (yeah, we've never made it to the door-to-door part before this year).

Lay the turtle on its back and cut off the head. Let turtle bleed for twenty minutes. Separate the body from the shell and remove the entrails. Carefully separate the liver and heart. Now, with a sharp knife, remove the meat from the shell and lay in boiling water for two minutes. Drain. Rub the legs and all flesh Containing the outer skin until the skin is removed, with a coarse towel. Now, with a cleaver, chop the shell into five pieces and place in scalding water for five minutes. Remove from hot water. Use the knife to peel off the skin and bristle from the shell. Now lay the meat and shell in cold water for one and one-half hours. You now have white and green turtle meat ready to cook.
Put the meat and shell in a large preserving kettle with sufficient cold water to cover, adding
- One pint jar of stewed tomatoes,
- One stalk of celery,
- One bunch of potherbs,
- One bunch of parsley,
- Three cloves,
- Four allspice,
- Four large onions,
- Two bay leaves,
- One medium-sized carrot,
- Rind of one-half lemon,
- Three tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce.
Tie the spices and vegetables in a piece of cheese-cloth and bring to a boil. Cook slowly until the meat is tender and then remove the white meat. Cook the green meat, most of which is in the shell, until it is tender. Place the meat, when tender, in cold water to blanch. Use the liquid for SOUP. Strain and add part of the turtle meat, hard-boiled egg, grated lemon rind and juice of lemon. Prepare the snapper same as green turtle. Only bleed snapper ten minutes.

This gorgeous engagement ring is 1.14 ct. total weight and is mounted in an 18K white gold mounting that features a diamond halo underneath the brilliant cut center stone. It has a split shank that has been hand set with small round stones in two rows on each side. The stones are VS2 in quality and catch the light for a wonderful shimmer. The center stone is raised above the small round center halo and is held securely in place by a four pronged head.

The carat of a diamond equals the weight it. 1 carat is equal to 200 milligrams. The image of the ring on a hand is only an educated guess.
1,14 carat
The diamond shape or cut is the only aspect not determined by nature. The better the polisher, the better the cut. Our craftsmen are renowed for their passion and skill when it comes to turning rough stones into beauties for centuries.
The clarity of a diamond is the amount of internal damage it has. Some visible with the naked eye, some only with a loupe. A flawless diamond, also known as river pure, is very seldom.
The more transparent or whiter a diamond is, the more it reflects light and thus the more it sparkles.There is one exception which is for brightly colored diamond, ike a pink, blue or bright yellow diamond. These are more seldom and worth even more than regular transparent diamonds.
Make a difference between colored diamonds and the regular scale
At Coster Diamonds we sell the highest quality gold settings, in different types of gold, platinum and titanium, mostly forged by our own skilled goldsmiths.
Besides diamonds, we also offer many different types of gemstones. Each with its own unique characteristics which – when used properly- can really bring a piece of jewelry to the next level.
Images look great.

Donate. For Smithton Police Constable Rohan Johnson, man's best friend is german shepherd Bella.
Recently joining the local station, Constable Johnson adopted his now six-year-old canine companion when she was 14 months old.
Joining the force in 2009, he was stationed in Ulverstone early on in his career before serving seven years in Devonport more recently.
After transferring to Smithton, Constable Johnson and his offsider are basking in the lifestyle that comes with a country posting.
"She has a bigger backyard now," he says, and loves long walks on the beach or wading through the ocean with a ball nearby.
For Bella, the simple pleasures of a tennis ball or squeaky toy are a part of everyday life however for some pooches this is not always the case.
As the festive season approaches, Smithton Police Station will once again be a drop-off point for donations to the Dogs' Home of Tasmania.
Based in Burnie, Devonport and Hobart the not-for-profit organisation cares for homeless and unwanted dogs who are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped before being available for adoption.
Donations of polar fleece blankets, leads and collars, hard toys (not stuffed) and canned food and treats as well as cash will assist the organisation.
Donations needn't be new with second-hand toys and bedding in good condition accepted.
Knowing the loyalty of an adopted pet, Constable Johnson urged community members to consider providing a forever home for an animal in need this Christmas.
For more information or to donate to the Dogs' Home of Tasmania contact Smithton Police on 131 444 or visit Smithton Police Station, 22 Smith Street, Smithton before Christmas. The station is open Monday to Thursday from 9am to 1pm, if unattended ring the buzzer.

→ Membership insignia
→ Gaudreiecke
→ Special Gaudreiecke
→ Cufftitles
→ Leadership lanyards
→ Leaders' Insignia
→ Proficiency clasps
→ Trade Badges
All girls of the League of German Girls wore the Hitler Youth insignia seen on the right - a lozenge shaped insignia in red and white with a black swastika in the center - on their uniforms.
The insignia was worn either as a sew-on made from machine-woven cloth, shown on the right, or as an enamel pin.
The sew-on variant was worn on the sleeve of the brown Kletterjacke, and on most sports clothing such as the white sports shirt where it was worn centered on the chest, the Belief and Beauty gymnastics dress, or specialized sporting outfits such as field hockey or ice skating dresses where it was most commonly worn on the lower left chest. Some photos showing it being worn on bathing caps also exist.
The pin-on variant was worn on or above the left chest pocket on the white short-sleeved or long-sleeved blouse, and the Kletterjacke. When worn on the leaders' uniform tunic that was introduced at the end of the 1930s, the pin would be worn below the embroidered eagle rank insignia on the left chest. Some photos also exist of girls wearing their pin on the lapel of their climbing jacket or on their neckerchief. As this is only seen in close-up studio portraits, it is very likely that it was done simply to include the official insignia of the Hitler Youth when it would not otherwise have been visible in the photo.
Leaders and long-time members who had distinguished themselves in their service could also be awarded the gold-bordered Hitler Youth pin. This award was also given to members of the male Hitler Youth and people from other organizations who had distinguished themselves in working with the youth, including foreign personnel such as Pilar Primo de Rivera, the leader of the Spanish Falange youth who had close ties with the League of German Girls.
In addition the official emblem of the Hitler Youth, girls also wore a cloth insignia called the Gaudreieck, which translates to regional triangle. This was a machine-woven black fabric insignia in the shape of a triangle that bore the name of the wearer's region and district in the old "gothic" style German script. For the League of German Girls, the triangle was black with white letters, and for the boys in the male Hitler Youth, the triangle was black with yellow lettering. The triangles were introduced for the male youth in 1933, and for the female youth in April 1934, and prior to that date, no insignia were worn on the uniforms.
The Gaudreieck was worn on the upper left sleeve of the white short-sleeved or long-sleeved blouse, as well as on the brown Kletterjacke or the dark blue wool ski jacket. In a few instances, it can also be seen worn on bathing suits and some sports clothing, however, this is relatively uncommon.
The Gaudreiecke worn by most members of the League of German Girls bore the name of the Obergebiet, or region, as well as the name of the Gau, or district, a girl was from. Therefore, readers should not mistake the triangle "Ost Berlin" to mean the East of Berlin, but rather, to mean region East, district Berlin. This can be confusing as districts changed over the years and from 1943 on, Berlin was part of region North, and a Nord Berlin triangle existed (albeit briefly).
Seen above are an original triangle for Sued Wuerttemberg, and a reproduction triangle for Sued Franken. While BDM insignia are not being widely reproduced, reproduction triangles are becoming more common. Known reproductions are Sued Franken, Sued Schwaben, and West Westmark. The Sued Schwaben one is most commonly sold as "original" and with an RZM tag attached to the back. The Sued Schwaben triangle was only used from 1943 onward, after the reorganization of the Obergebiete.
Gau triangles also existed for League of German Girls units outside of the German Reich, such as the one from the Netherlands pictured above, which was contributed to the website by German militaria dealer Helmut Weitze of www.weitze.net. The male Hitler Youth, as well as the female League of German Girls had a number of formations in foreign countries that consisted of German boys and girls living abroad. Some of the foreign locations included Turkey, Singapore, and Japan.
A special triangle existed for girls who were absolving their Landjahr service. It consisted of a green triangle with the word "Landjahr" in white letters, as seen in the photo below.
Furthermore, until leaders' uniforms were introduced at the end of the 1930s, members of the Reichsjugendfuehrung, the national youth leadership staff, wore a black triangle bearing the letters "RJF" in white, and members of the RJF staff wore a triangles bearing the letters "RJF Stab". Those are two versions that are sometimes seen in photographs taken between 1935 and 1938 worn by higher leaders.Additionally, a so-called Traditionsdreieck, or traditions triangle, existed. This was an award similar to the "old fighters chevron" of Nazi military and paramilitary organizations and denoted long-time membership in the organization. David Littlejohn writes in his book "The Hitler Youth" that it was awarded group-wide to groups that had been in existence prior to 1933. However, this information is wrong based on some documents I have found awarding the traditions triangle to individual members who had been in the BDM since 1933 and "without a break ever since". You can see one of those documents below, from the collection of Wayne Armuth.
Furthermore, "Aufbau und Abzeichen der Hitlerjugend", a period source published by the National Youth Leadership Staff, states the following: "The traditions triangle was worn by all members of the Hitler Youth and BDM who, prior to 30. January 1933 (or in the case of groups outside the Reich, a date prior to their respective regions' return to the German Reich), been a member of the Hitler Youth, BDM, Nazi party or any of their groups. This insignia consisted of a gold (for members of the BDM, silver) tress that was attached at the lower edge of the triangle."
You may view the document below by clicking on it. Copyright for this document belongs to Wayne Armuth, who has allowed us to use it on our website.
In addition to the sleeve triangles, the League of German Girls knew several different kinds of cufftitles.
Prior to the introduction of the new leader uniforms in 1939, an "issue" brown greatcoat existed. The unusual feature about the greatcoat was that it was not worn with either the Hitler Youth insignia or the Gaudreieck sewn to it, but rather, with a cufftitle. For girls of the Jungmaedel, the cufftitle was brown bearing the name of the Obergau in white letters, and for girls of the BDM the cufftitle was dark blue with white lettering. The cufftitle was to be sewn on at "three-fingers width above the cuff of the sleeve". Of an interesting note should be that in all my research, I have yet to see a photo of the brown greatcoat being worn, although drawings of the same exist in a number of period sources.
A lot of uniform changes were made for BDM leaders in 1939 when the dark blue leaders' uniform was introduced along with new rank insignia and a cufftitle in lieu of the Gaudreieck. The cufftitles worn on the leader uniforms were black in color and embroidered in silver or gold bullion according to rank. Leaders who had been members prior to 1933 and without break since were authorized to wear the silver traditions bar at the bottom of their cufftitle, which replaced the traditions bar worn on the Gaudreieck previously. A white cufftitle with silver bullion embroidery was worn on the summer tunics.
The leadership uniform cufftitles pictured above were contributed to the website by German militaria dealer Helmut Weitze of www.weitze.net. The top image shows a black cufftitle for the winter uniform, embroidered in gold for higher leaders. The two bottom ones are from the same girl and show cufftitles for the Styria region of Austria and show the white version for the summer uniform as well as the black version for the winter uniform, embroidered in silver bullion. Of note is also the silver traditions bar at the bottom of each of those.
Two other cufftitles that are sometimes seen in photos are for the Landdienst der HJ and the BDM-Osteinsatz. The cufftitle for the Landdienst der Hitlerjugend (Country Service of the Hitler Youth) was black with white lettering and was worn by both males and females during their country service year. It was worn on the lower left sleeve of the jacket, as seen in the photo below.
After 1940, the BDM Osteinsatz (BDM Work in the East) was introduced and along with it another cufftitle, as seen below. Even though this cufftitle looks like its color is black with white lettering, the actual cufftitle is a dark chocolate brown. It should be noted that Osteinsatz cufftitles were always a dark brown color and did not come in black, blue, or any other colors.
Similar to the male Hitler Youth, the League of German Girls used colored lanyards as an indication of both grade and function. Until the League of German Girls introduced special leaders' uniforms in 1938, and with them, special leaders' insignia, the lanyard served as the sole indication of rank in both the BDM and the Jungmaedel.
Two styles of leadership lanyards existed: the short one seen in the photo below, and a long one. The long lanyard was worn around the neck underneath the neckerchief and looped through the leather slide at the front. The short lanyard was worn either looped through the leather knot while wearing the white blouse without a jacket, or from the second button of the Kletterjacke. In both cases, the end with the silver clasp was tucked into the left chest pocket. It is often assumed that the lanyard served to hold a whistle, however, there seem to be neither photographic evidence nor personal accounts to support this claim.
The red-and-white lanyard seen above is for the rank of a Maedelschaftsfuehrerin, but these colors were not adopted for use until 1936. Prior to that date, the rank first used the state colors, and later the colors of the region. No changes were made to the colors used for other ranks within the League of German Girls. The rank lanyards were as follows - from lowest to highest rank:
- JM- or Maedelschaftsfuehrerin - red and white
- JM- or Maedelscharfuehrerin - green
- JM- or Maedelgruppenfuehrerin - green and white
- JM- or Maedelhauptgruppenfuehrerin - blue
- JM- or Maedelringfuehrerin - white
- JM- or Untergaufuehrerin - red
(called Bannmaedelfuehrerin after 1942)
- JM- or Gaufuehrerin - red and black
(called Hauptmaedelfuehrerin after 1942)
- Obergaufuehrerin - black
(called Gebietsmaedelfuehrerin after 1942)
- Gauverbandsfuehrerin - black and silver
(this rank was discontinued in 1939/1940)
The leadership lanyards pictured above were contributed to the website by German militaria dealer Helmut Weitze of www.weitze.net. From top left to bottom right they are: Gaufuehrerin, Untergaufuehrerin, Gruppenfuehrerin and Scharfuehrerin.
In 1939, a new uniform was introduced for regional and national leaders within the League of German Girls, and along with the new uniforms came new rank insignia for leaders. These new rank insignia took the form of a silver, and for higher ranks, gold bullion embroidered open-winged eagle on a black (white, on the summer tunic) shield with various types of borders to indicate grade. They were worn on the left chest of the tunic.
The insignia above were contributed to the website by German militaria dealer Helmut Weitze of www.weitze.net. The page below shows the different leaders' ranks. The source is David Littlejohn, "The Hitler Youth", page 186, and all copyright remains with Mr. Littlejohn and his publisher, Agincourt. Click on the image to see the full version which, unfortunately, didn't fit into the layout in its original size.
The proficiency awards were introduced for both the League of German Girls and the Jungmaedel on April 28, 1934. This achievement badge - Leistungsabzeichen in German - was in the shape of the initials "BDM" inside a rectangular frame with a plain red ribbon background for the Jungmaedel and red-white-red for the League of German Girls. Originally, both were in a silver frame with silver letters, but in 1935 a bronze award was added for the League of German Girls. After that, the letters and frame denoted the grade of the award - bronze for the Leistungsabzeichen I or silver for the Leistungsabzeichen II.
The same letters and frame in silver on a solid red background were awarded as the achievement badge of the Jungmaedel until 1940, at which point a special Jungmaedel award was created. This new award, seen in the photo below, took the shape of the letters JM on a solid red background. After the introduction of this award, the frame with the letters BDM on a red-white-red background was only used for the BDM award. The Jungmaedel award only came in one grade.
In order to earn the proficiency clasp, the tests had to be completed within the span of a year, and covered nursing, first aid, political knowledge, and physical and athletic exercises. Members of the Jungmaedel were not allowed to try for their award until their 12th birthday, even though the age they became eligible to join the organization was 10.
More than 115,000 awards of the BDM clasp and 58,000 awards of the JM clasp had been made by 1943. Issued examples are usually numbered on the reverse, but some also have a letter A or B on the back. There is some confusion as to what the letters stood for. Some assume that it was an age grading (Littlejohn, "The Hitler Youth") while others believe that B marked pieces served as replacements of the original awards.
In 1942, an additional proficiency badge for leaders was introduced, but my sources give neither a photo, nor a description of this badge. I have seen two examples of a badge bearing the letters BDM with a green and red ribbon background which might be the leaders' proficiency badge. If anyone has any more information on the leaders proficiency badge, please email it to me!
Unlike the male Hitler Youth, which had a very large variety of trade badges a boy could earn, the League of German Girls only had medical trade badges. Like the male Hitler Youth, the League of German Girls originally used the internationally recognized Aesculapius snake-and-staff emblem as its medical symbol. This insignia was worn on the left lower sleeve of the jacket. On the white blouse, the insignia was either worn on the left sleeve below the Gau triangle (if there was space) or on the right chest pocket.
Some groups of medical service girls also wore a Red Cross patch seen in some of the photos below that were taken from an article in "The German Girl" magazine, the BDM's own publication. I am assuming that this patch was red or black felt with an embroidered white cross, but do not have any color images of this patch.
In September of 1938, the medical insignia were changed for both the male and female Hitler Youth and the new insignia showed the so-called Life Rune. The insignia were made embroidered on a felt background, or BeVo machine-woven.
In addition, BDM doctors, dentists, and pharmacists also changed their insignia in 1938.
Doctors: silver life rune on grayish-blue oval
Dentists: silver life rune on grayish-blue rectangle
Pharmacists: silver life rune on grayish-blue inverted triangle
Gesundheitsdienst-Maedel (health service girls) wore:
GD Maedel: red life rune on white oval with red and white surround
GD Maedel (Gruppe): red life rune on white oval with green and white surround
GD Maedel (Untergau): red life rune on white oval with red surround
GD Maedel (Obergau): red life rune on white oval with black surround
GD Maedel (Reichsjugendfuehrung): red life rune on white oval with gold surround
For images of the insignia, please view the pages below.
The first two images are from the book "The Hitler Youth" by David Littlejohn. The third and fourth are from the personal collection of Rik at www.panzergirl.com. The BeVo insignia is from the webmaster's collection. The remaining images are from a period publication. All rights remain with the image's owners.

The Motive
I originally wrote this in reply to a very talented girl---Veronica's blog. Then, I realized it could be written longer to become sort of a prose. So I added few things and posted it.

"Why…do you have to be like others?" He smiled and put away his violin.
