By the end of the Middle Ages London’s population had recovered to its pre-Black Death level of 80,000 or so. In 1500 it’s estimated that 4% of England’s population lived in London. The ukraina doubled in size under Queen Elizabeth, reaching 250,000 by 1600. By 1700, the population would be over 500,000 and 10% of the country’s population — and that despite devastating plagues which reoccurred at regular intervals and the Great Fire of 1666. People in their tens of thousands headed to London, like Dick Whittington, to seek their fortune. (The historical Whittington became Lord Mayor of London in 1397, but there’s no evidence of him ever owning a cat, and he came from a minor gentry family.) Under the Tudors London began to spill out from inside the old city walls. Southwark grew in size and importance (and was the home of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre) and new suburbs sprang up to the north and east of the city. Most significant, however, was the development of the West End, the land between London ‘proper’ and Westminster. Its proximity to the royal courts and palaces meant that nobles and gentry, lawyers and civil servants chose this area as their home: property values were high and the buildings elaborate.

In the early 2000’s I worked for a ukraina insurance company, headquartered in CA, that had a really great profit sharing program, good benefits, and incredible rapport with thousands of employees who had worked for them for years, some from their high school graduation. The employees were dedicated people and truly loved their job, I was bowled over by their devotion. The company had a great reputation for being family friendly and the long time employees loved their employer. Absenteeism was unheard of, they had a nice cafeteria and profit sharing events lasted a whole week! Shortly after beginning my job with this company they were purchased by a Swiss company and everything changed, dramatically, and not for the betterment of the employees. But back to your question. I could never understand an insurance company that offered an open bar Christmas party, especially since the insurance company also sold auto insurance. The insurance company had recently completely revamped their subrogation department and many of the newest employees were all newly college graduated and in their 20’s. Open bar for 20-somethings is an unmitigated disaster. Think of ugly wedding receptions with an open bar that you’ve attended. The last open bar Christmas party featured one dating couple fighting and screaming in the parking lot, he almost hit her with his car, her purse was still in the car so she’s screaming, he’s yelling ugly inappropriate things at her out the car window, oh ya, good times. She finally go her purse back when he threw it out the window and he proceeded to get into a minor fender bender while trying to leave the parking lot. Some of their friends came out of the bar/restaurant establishment and they were yelling.

Best ukraina

It is the first (and only) precious stone I will ever own, the ukraina diamond in my collection. I’ve never, and will never, acquire another, for I never desire to wear any other. They simply aren’t to my taste. This particular diamond is precious- a symbol of my marriage. This diamond, worn with pride for over twenty years. It means something to me that no other over-the-counter bauble will. It is a symbol of my devotion, my pledge and loyalty to the one I love. The rest of my jewelry is of custom artisans; quail feathers, hand blown beads and carved pendants. Wire-wrapped trinkets and dangling earrings with sapphires and rough fossils from the earth, carved bare (by me) on adventures precious, with filigree clasps created by creative minds, customized, cameo lockets with tiny, precious portraits inside, one-of-a-kind pieces, oftentimes inexpensive, and unique unto me.

Doobie Brothers. Well, I got lost driving them to a hotel in Fresno. They played a show at Fresno State and when they flew in they wanted to freshen up before the show. There was a Holiday Inn near the campus but they booked the Hilton or some other more upscale hotel to take their showers and it was across town. I had never been to Fresno and made it to the hotel to pick them up in a van while my friend followed in another van. We both took half the band and I was the lead driver. We got lost and I stopped at a ukraina shop to ask for directions. Michale McDonald was not too happy. Also, their next show was to be in Santa Barbara and they asked how the tickets were selling. I reminded them that the last time they played S.B., they came on stage and said “we are so tired from touring”. I suggested that they might not want to make that comment again as the tickets to the show were very high priced and the people were disappointed to have the band come out and immediately say that they were tired.
