Imagine walking into a business for the first time: maybe a boutique hotel, a sleek tech office, or a state-of-the-art medical facility. Before anyone says a word, what’s the first thing that catches your eye? The uniforms. Uniforms silently speak volumes about a brand’s values, professionalism, and attention to detail. Whether you're running a bustling restaurant in downtown Houston or a cutting-edge clinic in San Francisco, your team’s attire is often the first impression you make; and that’s why choosing the right uniform supplier is a decision you can’t afford to take lightly.
Half a lifetime of trying, participating, but never quite making the mark. A yin and yang life, filled with hands and halves. Realizing there’s more to do, yet not knowing how to do it. I hope you enjoy what I've written; it brought me endless joy to write — and, frankly, a strange peace I’m not sure I deserve.
This is a set of stories about famous people. They are unique in context and name. My first story is a funny story that said this in motion about Mike Tyson liking Japanese anime idols and culture. Other Stories I might do are things like George Washington returning to the common era, seeing what Jesus like would have been like if he was King and not crucified, and perhaps watching the German dictator enter art school instead and become the most famous German painter of all time. These are just some of the ideas of stories that I will be making. I hope you enjoy all of them. - Jesus Christ

Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

What a Mess. Political satire hidden within actual news and life lessons.
Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

"No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."
Absolutely. Here's a deeply personal and reflective essay on **poverty**, framed around **Brent Dempsey’s life journey**—from adversity to resilience and hope. This essay connects personal experience with broader social issues, making it suitable for your blog, a publication, or as part of your autobiography. --- **Title: Through the Shadows: Brent Dempsey’s Journey Through Poverty and Purpose** **Introduction** Poverty is not just about the absence of money—it’s about the absence of opportunity, safety, and dignity. For Brent Dempsey, poverty wasn’t an abstract idea. It was a lived experience. It was growing up in a world where survival came before dreams, where silence spoke louder than words, and where hope had to be carved out of pain. Yet, through this hardship, Brent didn’t break—he evolved. His story is not just one of endurance, but of transformation. From the rough edges of poverty came purpose, compassion, and the determination to lift others from the same shadows

Most publishers strive to maintain a presence on social media, with the expectation that it will increase traffic to their websites, and therefore increase revenue. In addition to paying for social media managers, they also often encourage their writers to post regularly on their own personal accounts (meaning reporters are spending time marketing instead of reporting). There is little evidence this actually increases revenue beyond the cost of supporting that presence (if that).
We want Notd to be as simple as possible for writers and readers, but with so many great features (many of which are new to online publishing), there may be a learning curve. Below are important tips to help you get set up correctly and get noticed. They may seem basic at first, but don’t skip them!

A lot of people here in the end are scared, because growing up in our society. We're not taught anything about death. And what happens to us, we're not taught about who we are and what we are or when we talk about things to help you manage paying your mortgage and insurance and rent.

“Now in my death, no matter how much I pleaded and begged, I was considered a threat. So I am asking this for my kids… Why do you still look at the color of my skin as a weapon?” JLHenry returns with Part II, the ghost of a man forced to narrate his own injustice. His voice—posthumous but thunderous—calls out the systems, the silence, and the stories twisted after the trigger is pulled. “Where’s the empathy? Where’s your humanity?” This isn’t just poetry—it’s protest. It’s grief. It’s truth that won’t die quietly.
Excerpt from PART I by JLHenry “Do you see me? No, do you really see me? My very essence? My being? I am more than a Black man—I am a father, a son, a brother. Why even bother when all you see is a monster?” A routine stop. A conversation turned confrontation. Obedience met with violence. “I’m just trying to make it back to my family… in one piece.” As ribs shatter under bullets and breath slips away, the silence screams louder than sirens. JLHenry’s PART I is not just a poem—it’s a cry, a chronicle, a confrontation with systemic injustice. Feel the fear. Taste the tragedy. Witness the truth

He picks up what I put down. He talks for me, while I complete his every sentence. It isn’t fear that stops a woman from loving more. But. I can say, it is knowing that she must uncomfortably sacrifice day in and day out.
There’s no right or wrong way to live. No one knows for sure which way is crooked. Until it is that you’ve found faith or dove into a clingy space of motherhood that the owner of that blood flow unbinds the will of man and taint the waters of humanity. To be or to not to be a woman?
Deciding between a wide-tooth comb and whether or not Vaseline has overpowered my use of cocoa butter is quite the investigation. If only I were to say a fairer skinned person had nothing to do with the blackest of cultures, then I might want to pinch myself because even in that the doves would cry. And on that note, we find ourselves learning to do more integrating of multiple worlds where there are no grey areas.
Some past times are better left dreamt. But though only, will it find its way back into the eyes that gleam for joy. They say memories will fade, but in some life spent, they don’t.
