Lady Gaga (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) is certainly famous, but is her “Fame” built to last? She has done interviews where she has spoken about “Decay” and how people today like to see famous people fail and end up in the gutter. She speaks of how we live in a time where we crave for drama. Like it’s not enough to just become famous then grow old gracefully, we need our famous people to fall off their perch and die disgracefully, drunk, drugged, or falling out of nightclubs vomiting all over the place then choking to death on it sometime through the night, as many previous famous people have done.

A lot of her music is certainly very enjoyable, “Bad Romance” is certainly a very catchy enjoyable recording, although when I first heard the opening lines I found it a bit irritating, but it soon grew on me and she looked great in the video! She likes to create controversy, like in her video for “Paparazzi” where she is apparently pushed over a balcony after being snapped by photographers. But is Lady Gaga more famous than Elvis Presley? Well, we will probably have to wait until she fails and dies before we know that. Perhaps one day as she says, the public will get their thrill by reading about how she choked on her own vomit, died from a drug overdose, or stumbled drunk out of a nightclub into the path of a bus, then and only then will we know! Will her fans for countless years after her death make a pilgrimage to her present home just to celebrate the fact she ever lived, as they do with Elvis?

In the meantime, Lady Gaga very cleverly creates and courts controversy, not just in her videos, but in other ways, like for instance the “Lady Gaga Hermaphrodite Rumour” which I have no doubt is total rubbish. If it were true you can be sure that the “paparazzi” would have somehow uncovered medical records to prove the fact.

Lady Gaga is definitely not a one hit wonder, she has already proven that. And fame for Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta did not come instantly either. She has worked hard for her position at the top of the charts, she has studied, recorded, failed a few times, made a few sacrifices for the sake of her own principles, and finally found the fame that she, and let’s be honest, everyone wishes for. The difference between people like Elvis Presley and Lady Gaga is that they have an uncontrollable drive to be recognised, to be proved right, to show everyone that they were different from everyone else, not freaks, not oddities, but talented people, people with an unquenchable thirst for fame.

Thank God there are people like her around! Imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was just like you and me. We dream of fame and yes fortune too, but at the first, or maybe second hurdle, we give up and go and get a normal job in a factory or office. That is the difference between me, you, Elvis Presley, Lady Gaga and every famous person you see in concert, on the television, in a film, or on the news. They had the energy, the self belief, the determination, to stay the course. That is why we worship these people, because they truly are different from us, we are the freaks!

So, back to the original question, is Lady Gaga more famous than Elvis Presley? I think it is very unlikely that Lady Gaga will ever become a legend in the same way that Elvis Presley did. Lady Gaga is basically following in the footsteps of people like Madonna, who in turn followed in the footsteps of groups like Bananarama, who in their turn followed in the footsteps of their own idols. But Elvis Presley actually helped to launch a system of music which eventually became known as “Rock and Roll” and without Rock ‘n’ Roll, it is very doubtful that any of today’s music artists, including Lady Gaga, would ever have existed, at least in their present form, because whether they know it or not, and I’m sure they do, they have all been influenced in some way by Rock and Roll and therefore Elvis Presley, which in my book makes Elvis Presley more famous than Lady Gaga!

Canadian naturalist and painter Robert Bateman was born in Toronto, Canada, on May 24, 1930. Since childhood, he has been interested in wildlife and art. He was initially inspired by the famous “Group of Seven,” a club of Canadian ‘Realistic’ painters. Bateman perfected the art of beautifully portraying nature & wildlife on canvas. While he started his artistic stint with creating ‘Abstract’ paintings of nature, he transitioned to ‘Realism’ in the 1960s. His focus was mostly on depicting beauty in its original form, for which he travelled extensively and used his keen observation power to accurately depict the various facets of nature. One of the methods Bateman has applied while painting his works is clicking photographs and using them as models for his creations. Robert Bateman achieved iconic feat with his work “Midnight Black Wolf.”

While Bateman has also sketched and painted people & activities, in one of his interviews, he has indicated that sketching people was as easy as sitting and eating popcorn for him. He has also said that sketching wildlife offered more challenges on the account of it being an extremely diverse area of exploration. One of Robert’s most famous paintings, as mentioned above, is “Midnight Black Wolf” that depicts a black wolf on a black backdrop. Some of Bateman’s other most famous works include “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Lost-Wildebeest,” “White Encounter-Polar Bear,” “Cardinal in Sumac,” “Beech Grass & Tree Frog,” “Clan of the Raven,” “Tadpole Time,” “Awesome Land-American Elk,” “Cries of Courtship,” and “Vantage Point – Bald Eagle.”

Talking about “Midnight Black Wolf,” Bateman himself says that he wanted to “show the ominous presence of a mature, lone wolf,” creating an overall atmosphere of respect and seriousness around the animal, though not the one of threat. From the viewpoint of an artist, Bateman said that he found it extremely challenging to portray a “black animal on an almost black background.” Looking back, although Bateman became a high school art/geography teacher, he never stopped painting throughout his career. However, it was only in 1970s and 1980s that his paintings and talent began getting recognition. His work started gaining popularity with time. Bateman has around ten books, based solely on his paintings. He has been criticized over his decision to allow the reproductions of his work, by people who believe that this act devalues the genuine art market. However, these reproductions have been extremely popular and are sold across print galleries in Canada and internationally. Even today, Robert Bateman continues to paint beautiful scenes from the forests. He has carved a niche for himself in the art world through his wonderful paintings, depicting nature and wildlife such as in “Midnight Black Wolf.”

There are many famous people who are known for their nose. Find out about the extraordinary noses of the rich and the famous. Whether it is because of the shape or the size, their noses helped create a name for some of these people and not to mention, a face. There are a list of names to be covered, but this article will simply the Top 10.

The first name that comes to the mind is Michelangelo. He was an Italian artist, and his nose was almost clipped to his face that was accidentally broken by someone. Thomas Wedders, who was a circus personality claimed to have the longest nose in the world. Tycho Brahe who was a Danish astronomer lost the nose tip in a fighting with sword and replaced the same with a gold tip. Jimmy Durante, the most famous American entertainer has a weird elongated nose. Kate Elder was an ill-famed brothel owner and she has a bulb like nose that looked really distracting. Josef Myslivecek, a composer and Czech origin had no nose at all.

Rudolf I of Hapsburg was the Roman king, and he had a very big nose. It was so big that it was really difficult for an artist to draw it to accuracy. Mathew Parker was a popular English clergyman who was known for being nosey since he loved to interfere with other peoples’ business. Cyrano De Bergerac had a huge nose. It looked so odd that he was insulted by many for it. Albert Weber, the Organoleptic analyst, has a nose for the right smell.

There are even more notable persons throughout history who have left a lasting impression with their nose and their contributions to society.

A common question asked of experienced Intellectual Property lawyers relates to artists’ use of famous, trademarked products in the context of artistic expression, and whether such uses are protected as free speech, or nothing more than infringement.

Examples include Andy Warhol’s famous pop culture paintings of Campbell’s soup cans, as well as the juxtaposition of famous brand logos on guns and weapons of war.

The legal analysis is not simple, and depends largely on the factual circumstances surrounding the use of the trademarked products.

A trademark is a word, symbol or design used to identify the source of a product. Trademarks are protected from misappropriation under both federal and state statutes and at common law.

Trademarks may be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, but may also be protectable without federal registration. The primary purpose of trademark law is protect consumers against unauthorized uses that are “confusingly similar.”

In order for a court to determine if the unauthorized use of a trademark constitutes unlawful infringement, at least eight (8) non-exhaustive factors are considered, including: (a) the strength of the mark; (b) degree of similarity between marks; (c) proximity of the products; (d) likelihood that senior user will bridge the gap between the goods; (e) actual confusion; (f) junior user’s bad faith; (g) quality of the junior user’s product; and (h) sophistication of the relevant consumers. Polaroid Corporation v. Polarad Electronics Corp., 287 F. 2d 492 (2nd Cir. 1961). Additionally, the Court will consider if the use is “likely to dilute” the fame of a famous trademark through either blurring or tarnishment. 15 U.S.C. § 1125.

Even when grounds for a potential infringement or dilution claim exist, certain defenses are available to an artist depicting the trademarks in an artistic creation. Primarily, the artist may be able to defend the claim on the grounds of “fair use” of the trademark. However, fair use is an affirmative defense, which means that it is only asserted once the artist has been sued in court.

An illustrative case involving the use of trademarked products as part of an artistic creation is Mattel Inc. v. Walking Mountain Prods., 353 F.3d 792 (9th Cir. 2003). In that case, photographer Thomas Forsythe developed a photographic series entitled “Food Chain Barbie,” which depicted Barbie dolls in various positions, such as being roasted in an oven.

After being sued by Mattel, Forsythe argued that his creative images attempted to “critique [ ] the objectification of women associated with [Barbie],” and to “lambast [ ] the conventional beauty myth and the societal acceptance of women as objects because this is what Barbie embodies.” Id.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Forsythe’s use of the Barbie dolls in this manner constituted fair use, as it was transformative, defining this requirement as: “add[ing] something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the first with new expression, meaning, or message.” Id.

The Ninth Circuit explained that “when [trade]marks ‘transcend their identifying purpose’ and ‘enter public discourse and become an integral part of our vocabulary,’ they ‘assume[ ] a role outside the bounds of trademark law.’ Where a mark assumes such cultural significance, First Amendment protections come into play: ‘[T]he trademark owner does not have the right to control public discourse whenever the public imbues his mark with a meaning beyond its source-identifying function.'” Id.

To try to address concerns about exposure to claims for trademark infringement, some artists incorporate disclaimers in their catalogs or on websites that advise the consumer that the use of the trademarks is not licensed or authorized by the trademark owner. While a disclaimer can help address possible confusion, it does not guarantee freedom from liability.

Ultimately, to prevail in convincing a Court that a particular use of a trademark in a painting or photograph is sufficiently transformative to shield that use behind the First Amendment, will depend on the facts of the given case.

The legal outcome, much as the appreciation of the art itself, may very well depend on the viewpoint of the beholder.

What is it about some advertising slogans that make them so successful? You know what I’m talking about. There are some that you heard years ago and will never forget, like Nike’s “Just do it!” and then others that make you wonder what they were even thinking. So what is it about certain slogans that makes them stick in your mind and remember the brands for years? Well, the following is a list of some of the most popular advertising slogans as well as the reasons for what makes them just so memorable.

10 of the Most Successful and Famous Advertising Slogans of All Time:

1- AT&T: “Reach Out and Touch Someone”

2- Nike: “Just Do It”

3- AllState: “You’re in Good Hands”

4- Geico: “Fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more.”

5- Almond Joy/Mounds: “Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.”

6- Maxwell House: “Good to the Last Drop”

7- Wheaties: “Breakfast of Champions”

8- Campbell’s Soup: “M’m! M’m! Good!”

9- Kellogg’s Rice Crispies: “Snap! Crackle! Pop!”

10-And last but not least, the short but sweet, “Got Milk?” By the Milk Campaign started in 1993.

3 Common Traits of Famous Advertising Slogans:

1- They are Catchy and Recognizable: Sometimes this can be annoying, but let’s face it. A successful advertising slogan is always memorable and always seems to have a way of sticking in your head. This should be your goal as well. So here are some of the most common and effective ways of doing that:

-Alliteration: This is the repetition of the first consonant sound in two or more words within a sentence or phrase. For instance, “You’ll never put a better bit of butter on your knife.” This is an advertising slogan from Country Life Butter.

-Made up words: Another technique you can try is to make up a fun, new word to be clever and stick out in the mind’s of your audience, such as Louis Vuitton’s “Epileather”, or Gordon’s and Tonic’s “Innervigoration.”

-Puns: A Pun is a play on words that can be funny and unique and another great way to stand out amongst the crowd and be remembered. A great example of this would be Moss Security’s slogan, “Alarmed? You Should Be.”

2- Brandname Recall: This is another important quality of an effective advertising slogan. It is so important that your slogan helps your audience to remember your brandname and who you are or what you stand for. So try to say something that can incorporate your company’s name such as, Kay Jewelers’, “Every kiss begins with Kay.” or Charmin’s, “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin.”

3- Focus on Benefits over Features: Another one of the things to hone in on when working on your copy for an advertising slogan is to include the main benefits of your products or services. For example, the slogan written by the Mercedes Benz company, “Engineered like no other car in the world,” makes a clear statement to the customer that a Mercedes will be made better than any other car out there!

With every advertising campaign that you undertake, it is important to always focus on the benefits over the features. As they say, “Sell the sizzle, not the steak!” Tune in to emotions not details and features to ensure that you create a famous advertising slogan that will be memorable and successful for years!

So if it is your ambition to create a winning brand with a catchy and memorable advertising slogan, be sure to make it unique and connected to your key benefits and company name and you’ll be sure to have a winning, house-hold catch phrase that everyone knows and remembers 10 or even 20 years from today!

1. Georg Eberhard Rumphius (1627-1702)

He was born in Germany and employed by Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) in Ambon, east of Indonesia. Fifty years before Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature to biological science, Rumphius completed his own work of more than 20 years. The book Herbarium Amboinense (Het Amboinsche kruidboek) consisting of 1,660 pages and 700 plates of orchid descriptions and illustrations was first published in Amsterdam between 1741-1750, 40 years after his death. The beauty of Ambon inspired him to describe and write about the variety of flora and fauna that he saw. He was buried in Ambon on June 15, 1702.

2. Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778)

Carl von Linne, also known as Carollus Linnaeus was a Swedish botanist and is the most famous of all systemic botanist. His system of binomial nomenclature for the scientific naming of plants and animals is still in use today. Published in 1753, his book Species Plantarum includes 59 species of orchid in 8 genera. For his dedicated work in the field of botany, he is known as “The Father of Modern Botany”. The other publications are Genera Plantarum, Systema Nature, and Philosophia Botanica.

3. Karl Ludwig Blume (1796-1862)

Blume succeeded Reinwardt (the first director of agriculture of the botanic garden at Bogor, West Java) as the director of Buitenzorg Botanic Garden (Bogor Botanic Gardens) in 1822. Under his leadership, the first book to describe the orchids of Java and adjacent islands was published in 1825 with the name Tabellen en Platen vow de Javaansche Orchideen. Other publications which made a great contribution to the recognition of Javanese flora include Bijdragen tot de Flora von Nederlansch Indie and Flora Javae et Insularum adjacentium.

4. John Lindley (1799-1865)

He was the English botanist and orchidologist. With the increasing number of new orchid genera and species discovered in the 1800’s, the terminology used to describe the Orchid Family became increasingly confusing. John Lindley developed a system of classifying all the known orchids of the world and thus he is known as “The Father of Modern Orchidology”. His publication about Orchid between 1830-1860, including Genera and Species of Orchidaceous Plants, Folia Orchidaceae and The Sertum Orchidaceum were filled with colores plates and descriptions. He collected more than 7000 plants including orchids.

5. Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (1823-1889)

He was the foremost German orchidologist. Her father was also a well-known botanist, named Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach. After Lindley’s Era, Reichenbach became the “Orchid King”. All orchid specimens from all over the world were sent to him for identification and description, and formed an immense herbarium which rivaled that of Lindley’s at Kew. At least 1500 of his drawings are devoted to the orchids of Europe. In 1852, he published a work on the origin and structure of orchid pollen. All the clippings notes, drawing and scraps of information that reached his hand were safely kept in his herbarium, his most precious treasure.

6. Sir Hugh Low (1824-1905)

Low was the first orchidologist to work on Borneon orchids, entering virgin territory to find a new and beautiful orchids such as Coelogyne pandurata, Coelogyne aspirate, Dendrobium low, Paphiopedillum low, and Arachnanthe low. He also found the indigenous “jewel” orchids, Haemaria and Anoectochilus, known as Daun Lo (Low’s Leaf) or Boenga Lo (Low’s flower). He collected orchids in West Borneo, and the Anambas and Natoena Islands.

7. Henry Nicholas Ridley (1855-1956)

Ridley was the first Scientific Director of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. He completed the study of orchid of Borneo and The Malay Peninsula begun by Sir Hugh Low, Charles Curtis and David Burke. His botanical collections amounted to about 50,000 specimens with some 3000 species new to science. His monumental publication was Flora of the Malay Peninsula published between 1922 and 1925. He also published The Dispersal of Plants Throughout the World in 1930.

John Gubbins’ new novel The American Fly Fishing Experience: Theodore Gordon: His Lost Flies and Last Sentiments is an enlightening and up-close-and-personal look at its title character, one of the major figures of fly fishing history, but also one who was largely secretive about his private life. Consequently, some details are missing in Gordon’s life, but Gubbins valiantly fills in the gaps. He also tells the story from Gordon’s viewpoint, placing us directly into the man’s thoughts so we understand his motivations, anxieties, and even some of his deepest secrets.

Gordon, who lived from 1854-1915, is best known for fishing the Catskill region of New York, although he fished throughout the United States. Because of his numerous magazine articles, Gordon became known as the “father of the American school of dry fly fishing.” He adapted English fly-fishing tackle and flies for American creeks and rivers. He even had his own private mail-order business where he made flies for various fishers. Here is where his cantankerous side comes in. Gubbins depicts Gordon as making flies for his customers, believing in the idea that the customer is always right because he knows his customers would never want the flies he makes for himself; he is content to be paid for making flies the way the customer wants them, even though he knows the flies he makes for himself are superior.

Gordon’s interest in fly fishing resulted from being a sickly child. Fearing that others would see him as weak, he tried to act manly, always talking about fishing and hunting and pursuing those activities when his health permitted. In this way, he was much like his contemporary Theodore Roosevelt, but while Roosevelt grew to be robust, Gordon had consumption, which kept him frequently bedridden and always in fear of how others would treat him. As Gubbins illustrates, consumption (or tuberculosis as we call it today) was so feared at the turn of the last century that some railroads banned “lungers” from their passenger cars. In the town of Liberty, where Gordon often stayed, it was a crime to let a consumptive spend the night within the town limits. Consequently, Gordon became a criminal, always fearful that the local authorities would learn about his illness and throw him out of town.

Being a fly fisher, author of fly fishing articles, and entrepreneur who made and sold hand-tied flies was the perfect occupation for Gordon because he could not have held down a regular job due to his illness. Ultimately, we might say that fly fishing became the great love of his life, but this is overlooking the fact that he had a romance with a woman whose name we do not even know, even though photographs have survived of her and Gordon together. Gubbins produces a realistic character named Gail to play the love interest in Gordon’s life; he treats this outspoken woman who is interested in fishing in a realistic manner while plausibly explaining why the romance may have finally dwindled.

And so back to his fly fishing love Gordon went. He was a jealous lover of his passion. At one point in the novel, his friend Anson tells Gordon that people think he’s rude. He doesn’t wish to be rude, but as he admits:

“Prying anglers annoy me… (T)hey want to know where I fish, when I fish, the names of my favorite flies, and, worse, they want all this information for free. Prying anglers do not expect to consult lawyers or doctors for free, but because they believe fishing is a frivolous pursuit and unworthy of their full attention, they pester successful anglers like myself for direction instead of reading and experimenting themselves. If they were truly civilized, they would request my fee schedule before asking me any questions.”

However, Gordon unintentionally reveals that at times he might have pried a bit himself. He began a correspondence with noted British fly fishing author Frederic Halford, considering him a great mentor, but Halford eventually quit replying to his letters. Consequently, Gordon learned not to engage in discussions with any fly fishermen except those who bought his flies.

Despite any possible similarities between Gordon and Halford, in the end, Gordon is the bigger man, explaining to us, “Sometimes I explain my differences with Halford as being due to our natures. It was Halford’s mission to ensure that each day fishing would prove his rules… My mission is to discover the surprising and revel in the wonder of each day.” Gordon also refuses to engage in controversy, writing generally positive reviews of fly fishing books even when he doesn’t always agree with the author, feeling there has been enough controversy among English fly fishermen, so it is not needed among the Americans.

While Gordon may have been unwilling to reveal his secrets to others, here he does not hold back with the reader, resulting in a magical experience as we learn all the specifics of the numerous flies he tied, including the materials he used and how he tied them. We get right into the heart and soul of this pragmatical, yet passionate, fly fisher. He shares with us his best day in July 1901 which flowed like the plot of a stage play; he caught twenty-four fish that day and kept twenty. He shares with us how age affects him, sadly making him lower expectations. We delight in the night he sneaks out of his prying landlady’s boarding house to fish without anyone worrying about him. Gubbins even provides us with maps of the various rivers Gordon fished in so we can understand the fullness of his techniques.

There are no big fish tales in this book, but rather Gordon’s honest musings upon what worked when he fished and what did not. Gordon only allowed a few friends and family members to get close to him, including a couple of nephews who loved to hear his stories. In reading this book, I felt like one of those nephews, enjoying the company of a somewhat curmudgeonly uncle. I felt like I was standing beside Gordon, listening to his fly fishing wisdom, while a brook babbled in the background. Reading this book is as close as a person can get to meeting Gordon in person and spending considerable time with him. Few authors have penetrated so thoroughly into the mind of a historical person and fleshed him out so that we come to feel like we know him better than those who knew him in real life. Anyone who loves fly fishing or just a good, deeply introspective novel, will delight in The American Fly Fishing Experience.

So, you have taken the classes and you have now become a real estate agent. Or, you already are a real estate agent. Now that you are, or already are, a real estate agent, how do you become a famous real estate agent?

Before getting into the specifics of becoming famous, you need to sit back, kick up your feet and decide on your niche. Your niche will be the springboard from which you launch your campaign to become famous. Is the luxury market your thing, or maybe being a buyer’s agent is more your cup-of-tea. You need to decide where your strengths lie and then you’ll be able to better focus your energy and hone your expertise.

Once you have defined your niche, you are ready to proceed with THE thing that will make you famous in your niche.

It has been said of late that 80 percent of house hunting begins on the Internet. If you are to become a famous real estate agent, you must become Internet savvy. Most major brokers nowadays provide a website for their agents. It would be a good idea if you sought out training to make your website stand out from the rest.

In addition, obtain an inexpensive web domain from one of the online providers like GoDaddy. You can name it some creative name that will make people find you and help them remember it when they need to get in contact with you.

Branding is the key to standing out from the rest. You must have a brand that makes people remember you. You’ll want to link your branded domain name to your website with your broker to direct people to your listings and information. Also, find ways to use your brand to make it something that sticks in people heads. Association is a common method human beings use to retain memory. Associate your expertise or name with something related to real estate that people will remember. You want your brand to stand out from the rest.

Along with providing a web address for each agent, some brokers even provide training for their agents to learn how to set up their websites to make them individual and stand out. You’ll want to either attend training or hire someone to develop your website for you.

Either way, you’ll want to get your website up and running with splashy graphics and links that lead people to useful information. Make sure you insert a quality picture of yourself. Sales have been lost due to an amateur picture.

YouTube is a website where you can post videos you’ve created of useful real estate information. Along with posting it on your blog, some information you might want to consider teaching about on video is the rebate first-time homeowners can receive due to the approval of the federal stimulus package. Information like that is considered very valuable and would be visited many times over if you provided a professional presentation of it.

You’ll need a blog on your website that provides useful information for potential homeowners, along with enabling readers to comment on your website. Comments are sometimes quite useful in finding out what your audience is really interested in. Provide links to helpful and needful information and provide stellar aesthetics to create interest in your website. Along with the blog, make sure you actually create blog posts on a regular basis that are of great importance to your audience. This will create interest and keep them coming back for more. Establish a RSS feed to enable readers to subscribe easily to your blog. If you do not know what that is, the webmaster you hire can create it for you.

You’ll also want to consider signing up for several social networks, like Active Rain, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Digg, LinkedIn and others. Make sure you include your website link on your profile of all social networking sites of which you become a member, along with your branded name.

While creating a stunning website, you’ll want to discover and decide how you will distribute your listings via the web. You want your clients to be wowed at your ability to expose their listings.

The last thing you’ll want to take care of is a means to determine your return on investment (ROI). You need a good method to track your marketing and advertising expenditures, so that you will know what your ROI is. Make sure you include a counter on your website that tracks unique visits to your site, along with some way to analyze the traffic your site receives in order to improve results.

Now that you’ve found your niche, become Internet savvy, have your website up and running and are experiencing some notoriety, make sure to keep track of how your clients found you. Ask them. Also, ask them if they have seen your website.

As you continue to promote yourself aggressively with electronic media, you will eventually become what you’ve always dreamed of – a famous real estate agent!

Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and houses some of the most magnificent images from all around the world including the Pyramids and Giza, the ancient temple of Luxor and the Great Sphinx. Most of the building in the country date back thousands of years. Though the main focus for a large part of the tourist communities lays on the great monuments alongside the Nile, the possibilities of Egypt travels extend up to snorkeling and diving along the Red Sea coast. Other tourist attractions in Egypt include camel tours on the mountains of Sinai, remote oasis tours, visiting the Coptic Monasteries on the Easter Desert and more.

Here is a quick look at Egypt Tourism and all the information regarding Egypt tourism:

Mosque of Ibn Tulun

This mosque is one of the oldest in Cairo and was commissioned by Ahmad ibn Tulun, the Abbasid governor of Egypt. The mosque has been constructed around a courtyard and on four sides, it has covered halls. The minarets were built several centuries later.

Dahab

Dhar is 53 miles North from Sharm el-Sheikh, located on the gulf of Aqaba. It is on the southern tip of Sinai and used to be an isolated village earlier. One can indulge in activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, jeep trips, wind surfing and others at this destination.

Siwa Oasis

Located in the Libyan Desert, Siwa Oasis is one of the Egypt’s isolated settlements including the ethnic Berbers. Siwa was an oasis vital for trading route earlier, as the natural springs and shade of palm trees gave respite to the travelers in the desert. But with the collapse of Roman Empire, Siwa began to decline and the tourism has become a vital source of income.

Egyptian Museum

Homing around 120,000 items of antiquities within, the Egyptian Museum is indeed one of the top attractions in Cairo. There are two floors within, ie the ground floor and the first floor. Ground floor showcases an extensive collection of coins and papyrus used in those time and the first floor houses the artifacts from the final dynasties. Highlights include the objects from the Tomb of Tutankhamen and the Royal Mummy Room containing 27 royal mummies from pharaonic times.

Red Sea Reef

The Red Sea, located off the coast of Egypt is a beautiful place all over the world to go for diving. The water in the Red Sea is renowned for spectacular visibility and features some of the best and most exotic seascapes. Its wide expanse of coral formations on the reefs houses thousands of different sea creatures. Several Red Sea beach resorts are located on both sides of the sea and the east side and a part of Sinai Peninsula are long established in Sharm el Sheikh and its neo-hippy counterpart, Dahab. On the west, the coast of the Red Sea lies relatively old and touristy Hurghada and a cluster of new resort towns.

The list goes on and on. It is best to choose custom tours for the best experience.

Cheerleaders are often the most popular people in high school. It seems to make sense that these people would go onto become some of the most popular people in the world after they have graduated. You might be surprised as you read over our list of some famous people who were at one time cheerleaders.

Being a part of a cheerleading squad helps young people gain self confidence and the ability to perform in front of large crowds of people. Think about the crowded football stadium on a Friday night back in high school. That’s a pretty big audience. It makes sense that some very famous television and movie actors and actresses had, at one time in their life, been a cheerleader. Some of these people include Courtney Cox Arquette, Kelly Ripa, Sela Ward, Teri Hatcher, Calista Flockhart, Reese Witherspoon, Jenny McCarthy, Eva Longoria Parker, Denise Richards, Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock, Ann Margaret, Halle Berry, Alicia Silverstone, Renee Zellwegger, Other actresses who participated in cheerleading include Sarah Shahi, Blake Lively, Kirstie Alley, Jamie Lynn Spears, Charlene Tilton, Raquel Welch, Vanessa Minnillo, The list of former cheerleaders contains two acclaimed actresses – Meryl Streep and Sally Field, both of whom were high school cheerleaders.

One misconception that some people might have is that men aren’t cheerleaders, or the ones that do cheer are something less than manly. That isn’t the case either. Many men who would be described as very masculine have been cheerleaders in the past. Was there a more masculine actor than the late Jimmy Stewart? He was a cheerleader at Princeton University. Would anyone describe Samuel L. Jackson as less than manly? He was a cheerleader when he was in high school.

Several very well known and talented comedic actors were former cheerleaders. Jerry Lewis and Steve Martin were both cheerleaders when they were in high school. CBS news anchor Katie Couric, as well as the legendary television producer Aaron Spelling were also cheerleaders.

We’ve even seen our share of former cheerleaders who have had some success in reality television. Brooke Hogan has her own reality program on Vh1. Several celebrities who have competed on the hit reality television program Dancing With The Stars were also cheerleaders in their youth. Jennie Garth, Stacy Keibler, Shannon Elizabeth, Vivica Fox, Belinda Carlisle, and Melissa Rycroft. Paula Abdul (perhaps one of the most famous cheerleaders of all time) has made a name for herself, both as a musician and a judge on the reality program American Idol. Former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler was a cheerleader in high school, and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood was a high school cheerleader as well.

Many women who have gone on to find fame as musicians were former cheerleaders. They include Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Faith Hill, Toni Basil, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Natalie Mains, and Lauryn Hill.

Is there any bigger arena than politics, and is there any bigger leader than the President of the United States? Several former presidents were at one time a cheerleader. They include President George W. Bush, President Ronald Reagan, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Other politicians who have participated in the sport of cheerleading include Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, and Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran.

You can’t say that if you are a cheerleader you’ll go on to fame and fortune, but you might say that being a cheerleader helped some very famous people get to where they are today.
