DUNKIN DAY

MIND

Rebecca Latimer Felton 1835

https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/Featured_Bio_Felton.htm

Felton holds the noble title of the first female to serve in the United States senate, although she only served for a day. Women are making heavy strides in the political world, yet still are not held on the same pedestal as men, which is an extreme disappointment. Rebecca Ann Latimer has not been widely commemorated, not because she is a woman, but because everyone has become so comfortable with a patriarchal society, that no one feels that it is necessary to celebrate women, especially women of power.

https://lds.gsu.edu/news/showcase/atlanta-studies/noa-rhodes/

*Please realize that the patriarchal society is dwindling and one day soon will be but a memory.

I’m pretty lucky that one of my best girlfriends is a barre teacher. She will come over a lot and we will just set up our yoga mats by the pool. Even if we only get a half hour in, I still feel like I’ve done something. I also live in Santa Monica and I have a big dog, Dublin, and he’s very energetic so trying to be a good mom as always, I try to take him out for a run-down San Vicente [Boulevard] which is beautiful.

Faith Evans 1973

“But the bottom line is it was two senseless tragedies that were the result of people not being good people,” she continued. “I can’t say the music business is the reason why. Losing my husband [is] something I think about every day. But I don’t blame that on Bad Boy — at all.”

When you have two wedding ceremonies, the tab is bound to be high. Hurley and business tycoon Nayar threw a traditional Anglican wedding in an English castle, followed by a week of celebrations and a Hindu ceremony in Nayar’s hometown of Jodhpur, India. Too bad two ceremonies and $2.5 million couldn’t make this couple last.

Judy Garland 1922 – vegetable salad

http://www.thejudyroom.com/

VICTOR FLEMING SLAPPED JUDY GARLAND IN ORDER TO FINISH A SHOT.

Today, it would be considered abuse and grounds for immediate dismissal. But 76 years ago, slapping your star across the face was not only condoned, it actually produced results. When Judy Garland couldn’t get her giggles under control when Bert Lahr’s Cowardly Lion made his big entrance, director Victor Fleming didn’t have time to play games. He took Garland aside, whacked her on the cheek, and then ordered her to “Go in there and work.”

Michael J. Fox 1961

https://www.michaeljfox.org/

Playing music is a complicated undertaking that engages multiple areas of the brain simultaneously. In essence, it’s the definition of multitasking. Translating black and white symbols into pleasing sounds requires:

• fine motor movements and an intact sensory system to manipulate an instrument,
• immediate processing of visual and auditory elements of a melody,
• mathematical precision and internal rhythm to keep tempo,
• emotional interpretation of the sound, and
• coordination with other performers.

Conceive the buildings in imagination, not first on paper but in the mind, thoroughly, before touching paper.

Leroy Neiman 1921

http://www.leroyneiman.com/

His surname is that of one of his stepfathers; during his childhood his biological father abandoned the family, and his mother, whom he described to Jerry Tallmer for the New York Post (May 9, 1981) as “a very spirited woman, ahead of her times,” later remarried twice. Raised in a rough blue-collar St. Paul neighborhood, early on LeRoy Neiman became a “street kid,” in his words.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Neiman “in market terms (is) a bigger success than Rembrandt — or any other painter. He is the first sports artist of America. More significantly, Neiman is first by so far, nobody knows who’s second.”

THE MOVIE WAS BANNED IN MALAYSIA.

Malaysia’s censorship board claimed the film was “definitely unsuitable” for public consumption after viewing the film and seeing that the plot revolves around Zoolander being brainwashed into murdering the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Bear Grylls 1974

http://www.beargrylls.com/

“Survival can be summed up in three words – never give up. That’s the heart of it really. Just keep trying.”

This motto sums up Bear’s attitude to life and adventure – never give up. His pursuit of adventure and Guinness World Records are inspirational to many, and he now actively encourages ordinary people to take on adventurous and survivalist goals.

Remember Why You’re There

So much goes into planning an epic adventure that it’s easy to get distracted—or even discouraged—by budget, logistics, travel, and mishaps. Don’t forget why you’re there in the first place. We adventure to seek discomfort. Those other steps are all part of the process, but once you’re out in the wild, it’s time to focus on being there. Get lost in the spirit of it all.

Prince 1958

https://www.princeestate.com/

In 1987, Prince built a sixty-five-thousand-square-foot, ten-million-dollar recording complex in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and called it Paisley Park. It was intended to be a commercial facility—Madonna, R.E.M., and Stevie Wonder all recorded there—but by the end of the nineteen-nineties it had stopped accepting outside clients. Eventually—no one can quite say when—Prince began living there. He wanted to establish a self-contained dominion, insulated from interference or judgment, where he enjoyed total control, and his life could bleed easily into his work.

On April 21, 2016, Prince collapsed and died in an elevator at Paisley Park. He had overdosed on the opioid fentanyl, which he’d been taking for chronic hip pain. He was fifty-seven, had sold around a hundred million albums, and did not leave a will.

Nathan Hale 1755

http://www.earlyamerica.com/nathan-hale-american-hero/

Guard against your own weaknesses: A more experienced spy would never have fallen into Rogers’ befriending trap, but Nathan did. As we’d learned, Hale did not inherently have the ability to deceive, and he perhaps felt a secret, non-deceitful bond with Rogers, a fellow American soldier. A worldly Hale could have guarded against this gullible weakness of his, but he didn’t. There was one other flaw that Hale may have had that was left from his Yale college days. Though pious, it’s reported that Nathan still liked alcohol. It’s very plausible that Robert Rogers, a well-known life-long alcoholic, bought some drinks for Hale that night which possibly could’ve opened Hale up for a more confidential and damning conversation. Rogers invited Hale to breakfast with him the next morning. Hale accepted for some reason. Rogers was setting the scene to spring the trap.

Though he emerged as more of a leading man in the early 2000s with movies like American Splendor and Sideways, Giamatti is content to play a supporting role. “I think you’re given more license to have fun, in a way,” he told The Guardian of being a supporting player. “You’re supposed to be more vivid, your job is to be more eccentric.

BE MINDFUL OF WHO LOOKS OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTERESTS— The people who look out for your best interests should love and respect you.  They should know the real you, know what’s best for you, never put you in a bad situation for selfish means, and stand by you when hardship or mistakes come your way.  Those people commonly should be your family, but sometimes (much like bad example old brother heroes) they aren’t the best choice.  Choose who you trust wisely and make the tough choice to stand by them even when they might not match who’s supposed to be in that role.

George III 1738

https://www.history.com/topics/british-history/george-iii

George III, when ill, often repeated himself, and at the same time his vocabulary became much more complex, creative and colourful.

These are features that can be seen today in the writing and speech of patients experiencing the manic phase of psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorder.

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22122407

The warning signs of bipolar disorder can generally be divided into those for mania, and those for depression.

7 signs of mania

Mania can cause other symptoms as well, but seven of the key signs of this phase of bipolar disorder are:

1. feeling overly happy or “high” for long periods of time
2. having a decreased need for sleep
3. talking very fast, often with racing thoughts
4. feeling extremely restless or impulsive
5. becoming easily distracted
6. having overconfidence in your abilities
7. engaging in risky behavior, such as having impulsive sex, gambling with life savings, or going on big spending sprees

7 signs of depression

Like mania, depression can cause other symptoms as well, but here are seven of the key signs of depression from bipolar disorder:

1. feeling sad or hopeless for long periods of time
2. withdrawing from friends and family
3. losing interest in activities that you once enjoyed
4. having a significant change in appetite
5. feeling severe fatigueor lack of energy
6. having problems with memory, concentration, and decision making
7. thinking about or attempting suicide, or having a preoccupation with death

“I’m not a yogi yet, I’m just starting to do yoga and I’m not an expert at all, but [Buick] paired me up with Chad, who’s such a cool guy, and behind the scenes he’s teaching me all of these very basic poses,” she tells PEOPLE. “We’re doing some [moves] in the car, and then there’s also poses you can do outside of the car — before driving and after — to stretch out and prepare yourself for a little drive and make your body ready.”

Soon He will come back and begin to work on something else. He will continue until, one by one, our knots are all untied.

Evan Spiegel 1990

Ask yourself. Do you want to work for someone else?

Mr. Augie Fablo asked Evan, “When did you know that you wanted to start a company? What drove you to have that purpose?” Evan Spiegel replied, “A lot of it is not wanting to work for anyone else. My dad had to cancel vacations and he got called from work. I used to think that when I grow-up, I want to be the guy on the phone.”

If you do not like to work for others or work in your own way then it is a clear sign that you probably are built for becoming an entrepreneur.

Allen Ginsberg 1926

http://allenginsberg.org/

Depending on who you ask, Allen Ginsberg was a songwriter, a photographer, a political gadfly, a gay rights advocate, or the founding poet of the Beat Generation. He was also one of the most divisive figures of the 1960s, described as either an “ambassador for tolerance” or, as his FBI file reads, a “politically dangerous subversive.” But whether you see him as a force for good or evil, he was unequivocally—a force that changed American literature forever.

Though Marlon Brando was reportedly Kramer’s original choice for John “Joker” Johnson, Tony Curtis diligently proved himself the better choice in the role. In his autobiography, Curtis recalled, ” At first they said I was too good-looking for the part; I didn’t look enough like the a**hole “n*gger-hater” I was supposed to play. So I wore a false nose and made myself look uglier.

Just as her husband realized that his every action might set a precedent for future presidents, so Martha, too, was aware that her behavior as first lady would become the template for the wives of future chief executives. One of her most important steps was to initiate a weekly reception, held on Friday evenings, for anyone who would like to attend.

‘Breakfast. I’ve been told that my eating habits are absolutely bizarre, but I don’t think so. Before I take my morning shower, I start warming a cup of milk on the hot plate I keep in my hotel room. When it’s hot, I break two raw eggs into the milk, whip them up with a fork, and drink them while I’m dressing. I supplement this with a multi-vitamin pill, and I doubt if any doctor could recommend a more nourishing breakfast for a working girl in a hurry.
