10 Shocking Stories About America's First Ladies - Neatorama

1. The First to Throw Glass in Stone Houses: Martha Washington (First Lady, 1789-1797)
George Washington might have been America's first president, but he could never claim the title of Martha's first love. Prior to Georgie, Martha had been married to a wealthy Williamsburg plantation heir named Daniel Parke Custis, who was a scandalous 20 years her senior. While blissful for the most part, Martha and Daniel's short marriage was saddled by the antics of Custis' cantankerous father-in-law, John Custis IV, whom Martha absolutely abhorred. Shortly after Daniel died (only seven years into their marriage), she paid a not-so-friendly visit to the Williamsburg mansion that had been John's main residence and auctioned off the remainder of her father-in-law's valuable possessions. Everything, that is, except for his priceless collection of hand-blown wineglasses. Those she proceeded to smash in a spectacular act of vengeance.

A farmer died leaving his 17 horses to his three sons.

When his sons opened up the Will it read:


My eldest son should get 1/2 (half) of total horses;
My middle son should be given 1/3rd (one-third) of the total horses;
My youngest son should be given 1/9th (one-ninth) of the total horses.

As it’s impossible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the three sons started to fight with each other.
So, they decided to go to a farmer friend who they considered quite smart, to see if he could work it out for them.

The farmer friend read the Will patiently, after giving due thought, he brought one of his own horses over and added it to the 17. That increased the total to 18 horses.

Now, he divided the horses according to their fathers Will.

Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 horses.
1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 horses.
1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 horses.

Now add up how many horses they have:
Eldest son……..9
Middle son…….6
Youngest son…2
TOTAL IS…….17.

Now this leaves one horse over, so the farmer friend takes his horse back to his farm.

Problem Solved!

Moral:

The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th horse i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the 18th horse the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times. However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won’t be able to reach any!

High Tide / Low Tide!

For 8 years, Michael Marten has been taking photos from different spots of the British coast line, documenting the daily rhythms of the tides. This gave way to a special landscape project. Marten took photos of the same locations 8 and 16 hours apart, and showed the contrast between those images, a work displaying the dynamic nature of the tides and how landscape can be drastically different on a daily basis.

Hi, My name is Chris

This is A TRUE STORY

My name is Chris,
I am three,
My eyes are swollen..
I cannot see.

I must be stupid,
I must be bad,
What else could have made,
My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better,
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy,
Would still want to hug me.

I can't do a wrong,
I can't speak at all,
Or else I'm locked up,
All day long.

When I'm awake,
I'm all alone,
The house is dark,
My folks aren't home.

When my mummy does come home,
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll just get,
One whipping tonight.

I just heard a car,
My daddy is back,
From Charlie's bar

I hear him curse,
My name is called,
I press myself,
Against the wall.

I try to hide,
From his evil eyes,
I'm so afraid now,
I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping,
Calls me ugly words,
He says its my fault,
He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me,
And yells at me more,
I finally get free,
And run to the door.

He's already locked it,
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me,
Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor,
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues,
With more bad words spoken.

'I'm sorry!', I scream,
But it's now much to late,
His face has been twisted,
Into a unimaginable shape.

The hurt and the pain,
Again and again,
O please let it end!

And he finally stops,
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless,
Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Chris,
I am three,
Tonight my daddy,
Murdered me.

And you can help,
Sickens me to the soul,
If you read this,
And don't pass it on

I'll pray for your forgiveness,
You would have to be,
One heartless person,
Not to be affected,
By this Poem.

And because you ARE affected,
Do something about it!
So all I ask you to do,
Is pass this on!

Wade Davis charts course for the NFL on gay issues at league's annual meeting

By Cyd Zeigler, from OutSports.com

Gay former NFL player Wade Davis addressed coaches and general managers Monday, will speak with owners on Tuesday. Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the presentation was "fantastic."

Gay former NFL player Wade Davis addressed coaches and general managers at the NFL annual meeting in Orlando on Monday, talking about sexual orientation, homophobia and gays in the locker room. With just a 30-minute presentation and Q&A session, he sped up the course of the NFL on LGBT issues. While the NFL has been headed in the right direction for the last several years, executives and coaches Monday saw the potential for improving team culture, and they saw the first step to get there.

From all reports his presentation was incredibly well-received, with "many" coaches and GMs approaching Davis with praise after the meeting. Various folks from Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid to San Diego Chargers head coach Mike Mccoy thanked him for a unique, powerful presentation that opened eyes.

"He was authentic," said NFL vice-president of football operations Troy Vincent, who hopes Davis' conversations will open a dialogue about gay issues in the NFL and lay a roadmap to address them. Vincent was one of the architects behind bringing Davis into the NFL fold.

"The hardest thing to do for any outsider is connect with the audience," Vincent continued. "He did that on the kick-off. And he was real. He talked about what everyone was thinking. He addressed those things up front with humor, transparency, honesty and care, not just for himself, not just for people with a different sexual orientation, but a genuine care that we all can do better, that we call can be free."

Davis, the executive director of the You Can Play project, told Outsports after the meeting that his presentation had several focuses. First was to debunk the stereotype that gay athletes are weak. Second was to tell them that gay players aren't snitches - They're not looking to "catch" teammates being homophobic. They want a football family where they can love, be loved, play their asses off and grow as people. Lastly, Davis pointed out that closeted gay players face a distraction - hiding their true identity - that is keeping them from being the player they could be.

"I told them they have to be intentional from day one," Davis said of the NFL teams' next steps. "They can't just talk about 'diversity,' they have to talk about addressing 'diversity and that specifically includes sexual orientation."

Davis said one of the key elements of his talk was humor. He created a running joke through his presentation about current St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher cutting him. Twice. The room ate it up. Davis wanted to lighten the mood to demonstrate no one has to tip-toe around the issues on their teams: Gay players have senses of humor too.

"Wade nailed it," Fisher said after the meeting. He was glowing in his praise of Davis' talked, saying he'll consider bringing him to talk to his team later this year.

"He talked a lot about what a player wants from the organization, and that transcends one specific issue," said Rams general manager Les Snead, echoing Fisher's potential interest in bringing Davis to talk to the Rams. "Players want a family atmosphere. They want an organization they can trust and an organization that can provide resources and help that."

Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer said he is definitely thinking about bringing Davis to Cleveland to talk to the team about these issues.

"His composure and his ability to deal with a subject that some people consider difficult was impressive," Farmer said. "I appreciated his comments, his candor, and his direction. He said it best in his presentation, we just have to be real. Be real with people. Don't sugarcoat and sidestep. Some people have to be bold and brave, and it's up to the individual what side they're going to take.

"Some people will shy away from those issues and some people will take it head on. But it's a conversation we're all going to have. It's just a process of where we're at. As times change, so do the circumstances we have to deal with. It's on the forefront of what we're doing in this league and in this world."

Davis' talk fit into one key focus of this year's meeting: Locker room and team environment. With the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito episode last year bringing bullying to light, and the coming out of Michael Sam, what is said and done by players, coaches and executives in the locker room and front offices is getting strong attention.

"Coaches get it and they want to learn," Davis said. "They wanted me to tell them how to manage this and how they can make sure players will feel safe enough to be out in the locker room."

While this was just one presentation at one meeting, it was a great first step toward honest intra-team conversations about gay athletes and homophobia. Vincent said after the meeting many coaches and general managers sought Davis out to talk more with him.

"He spoke their language," Vincent said. "He went back into the locker room. Within five seconds, he connected. And he got everyone thinking, 'It's OK.' It was so refreshing."

Davis will make a similar presentation to NFL owners Tuesday morning.
