Peeta Mellark
Pita ( /ˈpiːtə/ PEE-tə; also pitta ( /ˈpɪtə/ PI-tə) is a round pocket bread widely consumed in many
Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan cuisines. It is prevalent from the Balkans through Greece,
the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula and Turkey. The "pocket" in pita bread is created by steam, which
puffs up the dough. As the bread cools and flattens, a pocket is left in the middle.

Lark
The lark is a very popular animal, appearing in literature, song, mythology, and even religion. Though we
write of the lark very often, the only true North American lark is the horned lark, which is named for its
black stripes beneath its eyes. The meadowlark also inhabits North America, though technically, the
meadowlark is more closely related to the starling. This doesn’t stop us from relating the meadowlark to
the true lark, however.
Larks are known for their melodious singing. They also sing while they are flying, unlike most other
birds, who only sing when perched. This indicates cheerfulness and reminds us to find joy in our own
lives. Larks are also very good mimics of other birds’ songs. Perhaps this tunefulness is the reason that
larks are messengers in religion and mythology. In Lakota/Dakota myth, larks were the messengers of the
god Itokaga (Okaga). Itokaga was the representation of the south wind. South is the direction of the sun
and the
bringer of warmth, light, and life. Therefore the meadowlark is associated
with all
of these things, in addition to women’s medicine, which encompasses beauty,
fidelity, happy marriage, and fertility. Seeing a meadowlark is good news for the
viewer, because the lark brings abundance and impending harvest.
Larks have a crescent shape across their breasts. The crescent shape often signifies
lunar qualities, and the moon is often linked with the concept of self. Therefore the
lark reflects the inward journey that’s often associated with self-discovery. This
goes hand in hand with their singing, something that, for humans, is often
considered a private activity and a deep reflection of inner self. Lark encourages
us to explore our inner selves and sing out loud.

1. A very strong wind.
2. A wind of force 7 to 10 on the Beaufort scale (28–55 knots or 32–63 mph)
Nathaniel Hawthorne - the Scarlett Letter, Blithedale Romance –
The novel takes place in the utopian community of Blithedale, presumably in the mid-1800s. The main
character, Miles Coverdale, embarks on a quest for betterment of the world through the agrarian
lifestyle and community of the Blithedale Farm.
Novelist and short story writer, a central figure in the American Renaissance. Nathaniel
Hawthorne's best-known works include THE SCARLET LETTER (1850) and THE HOUSE OF
THE SEVEN GABLES (1851). Like Edgar Allan Poe, Hawthorne took a dark view of human
nature.
"Not to be deficient in this particular, the author has provided himself with a moral - the truth, namely, that
the wrongdoing of one generation lives into the successive ones." (from The House of the Seven Gables)
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem, Massachusetts. His father, Nathaniel Hathorne, was a
sea captain and descendent of John Hathorne, one of the judges in the Salem witchcraft trials of
1692. He died when the young Nathaniel was four year old. Elizabeth Clarke Manning Hathorne,
his mother, withdrew to a life of seclusion, which she maintained till her death. From Salem the
family moved to Maine, where Hawthorne was educated at the Bowdoin College (1821-24). In
the school among his friends were Longfellow and Franklin Pierce, who became the 14th
president of the U.S.
The Scarlet Letter was a critical and popular success. The illicit love affair of Hester Prynne with the
Reverend Arhur Dimmesdale and the birth of their child Pearl, takes place before the book opens. In
Puritan New England, Hester, the mother of an illegitimate child, wears the scarlet A (for adulteress,
named in the book by this initial) for years rather than reveal that her lover was the saintly young village
minister. Her husband, Roger Chillingworth, proceeds to torment the guiltstricken man, who confesses
his adultery before dying in Hester's arms. Hester plans to take her daughter Pearl to Europe to begin a
new life. Toward the end of the dark romance Hawthorne wrote: "Be true! Be true! Show freely to the
world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!" Hester Prynne has been
seen as a pioneer feminist in the line from Anne Hutchinson to Margaret Fuller, a classic nurturer, a
sexually autonomous woman, and an American equivalent of Anna Karenina. The influence of the novel
is apparent in Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady (1881), in Kate Chopin's The Awakening (1899), and
in William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying (1930). Hawthorne's daughter Una, christened after Spenser's
heroine in The Faerie Queene, served as the model for Pearl.
THE BLITHEDALE ROMANCE (1852), set in a utopian New England community, examines the flaws
inherent in practical utopianism. Hawthorne had earlier invested and lived in the Brook Farm Commune,
West Roxbury. This led to speculations, that the doomed heroine was a portrait of the transcendentalist
Margaret Fuller. During this productive period Hawthorne also established a warm friendship with
Herman Melville, who dedicated Moby-Dick to him.
Primrose Everdeen
Primrose - first love - from the Latin 'primus' - meaning first, due to their early Spring
flowering. The primrose is the sacred flower of Freya, the Norse goddess of love and was used in
rituals giving honor to her.

Cinna
Cinna was a cognomen that distinguished a patrician branch of the gens Cornelia, particularly in the late
Roman Republic. The cognomen (English: /kɒɡˈnoʊmɛn/,[1] /ˈkɒɡnəmən/;[2] Latin: [koːŋˈnoːmen]; Latin
plural cōgnōmina; con- "together with" and (g)nōmen "name") was the third name of a citizen of

The Effie Awards are marketing communications awards given yearly by Effie Worldwide,
Inc., a non-profit organization, to honor the most effective marketing communications ideas:
ideas that work. Effie Worldwide's mission is to encourage effectiveness among the marketing
communications industry through education and recognition.
The Effie Awards were started in 1968 in the United States by the New York American
Marketing Association a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the art of marketing
among professionals. The award expanded globally after its founding in the US, with the first
programs emerging in Germany in 1981, in Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland
in 1984, and in France, Chile and Peru in the early 1990s.
Today there are over 40 national and regional Effie programs worldwide — in Asia Pacific,

In addition to hosting annual events, conferences and webinars to recognize the winners and
educate around the marketing communications ideas that drove their success, Effie publishes an
online database of winning cases and the results they achieved as an educational tool.
As it is sometimes thought to be an acronym, Effie is considered a pseudo-acronym, since the

the word effectiveness, which is the hallmark of Effie.

Joseph Addison.
Cato, a Tragedy is a play written by Joseph Addison in 1712, and first performed on 14
April 1713. Based on the events of the last days of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (95–46
B.C.), a Stoic whose deeds, rhetoric and resistance to the tyranny of Julius Caesar made
him an icon of republicanism, virtue,and liberty. Addison's play deals with, among other
things, such themes as individual liberty versus government tyranny, Republicanism
versus Monarchism, logic versus emotion, and Cato's personal struggle to hold to his
beliefs in the face of death. It has a prologue written by Alexander Pope, and an epilogue
by Samuel Garth.

The play was a success throughout England and her possessions in the New World, as
well as Ireland. It continued to grow in popularity, especially in the American colonies,
for several generations. Indeed, it was almost certainly a literary inspiration for the
American Revolution, being well known to many of the Founding Fathers. In fact,
George Washington had it performed for the Continental Army while they were
encamped at Valley Forge.
Plot
The action of the play involves the forces of Cato at Utica, awaiting the arrival of Caesar just
after Caesar's victory at Thapsus (46 B.C.). The noble sons of Cato, Portius and Marcus, are both
in love with Lucia, the daughter of Lucius, a senatorial ally of Cato. Juba, prince of Numidia,
another fighting on Cato's side, loves Cato's daughter Marcia. Meanwhile, Sempronius, another
senator, and Syphax, general of the Numidians, are conspiring secretly against Cato, hoping to
draw off the Numidian army from supporting him. In the final act, Cato commits suicide, leaving
his supporters to make their peace with the approaching Caesar—-an easier task after Cato's
death, since he had been Caesar's most implacable foe.
[edit] Influence on the American Revolution
Some scholars, including historian David McCullough--author of 1776--believe that the source
of several famous quotations from the American Revolution came from, or were inspired by,
Cato. These include:

Patrick Henry's famous ultimatum: "Give me Liberty or give me death!"
(Supposed reference to Act II, Scene 4: "It is not now time to talk of aught/But chains or
conquest, liberty or death.").
The actor John Kemble in the role of Cato in Addison's play, which he revived at Covent Garden
in 1816, drawn by George Cruikshank.

Nathan Hale's valediction: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
(Supposed reference to Act IV, Scene 4: "What a pity it is/That we can die but once to
serve our country.").

Washington's praise for Benedict Arnold in a letter to him: "It is not in the power of any
man to command success; but you have done more — you have deserved it."
(Clear reference to Act I, Scene 2: "'Tis not in mortals to command success; but we'll do
more, Sempronius, we'll deserve it.").
Not long after the American Revolution, Edmund Burke quotes the play as well in his Letter to
Charles-Jean-Francois Depont (1789) in Further Reflections on the Revolution in France: "The
French may be yet to go through more transmigrations. They may pass, as one of our poets says,
'through many varieties of untried being,' before their state obtains its final form." The poet in
reference is, of course, Addison and the passage Burke quoted is from Cato (V.i. II): "Through
what variety of untried being,/Through what new scenes and changes must we pass!"

Thoughts on Fox Meanings, Fox Totems and Animal
Symbolism Related to the Fox
In China, fox animal symbolism revolved around the afterlife.
Lore has it that a fox sighting was thought to be a signal from
the spirits of the deceased.
Fox animal symbolism takes a turn of intelligence in the
Celtic realm, as the Celts believed the fox to be a guide, and
was honored for its wisdom. The Celts understood the fox
knows the woods intimately, and they would rely upon the fox
as their guide in the spirit world.
In Japan, the fox was considered one of the rain spirits, and a
messenger of Inari the rice god. Here the fox also symbolizes
longevity and protection from evil.
In Native American lore, fox animal symbolism deals with
two interpretations. One perspective (Northern tribes)
observes the fox as a wise and noble messenger. The other (Plains tribes) views the fox as a trickster
playing pranks, or worse - luring one to demise.
Overwhelmingly, cultural consensus on fox animal symbolism deals with: Cunning, strategy, quickthinking, adaptability, cleverness, wisdom
It is noteworthy to observe the fox while it is on the hunt. We see its entire body is pointed like an arrow
- straight and tightly aimed. This is a symbolic message for us to set a determined, and powerfully
focused mindset in order to "hit the target" of our desires.
The red in the fox is representative of a solar emblem. As a solar emblem the fox animal symbolism
deals with: Passion, desire, intensity, expression
The fox encourages us to think outside of the box and use our intelligence in different, creative ways.
The fox also brings us a message to try to approach our circumstances differently that we normally would.
Be aware of some of our habits, and try a different angle of action.
The fox also a reminder that we must utilize all of our resources (seen and unseen) in order to
accomplish our goals. Sometimes this means calling upon some unorthodox methods. Furthermore, the
fox is a sign to be mindful of our surroundings.
Phenomenally effective shapeshifters and incredibly adaptable, the fox beckons us to not make too many
waves but rather, adapt to our surroundings, blend into it, and use our surroundings (and circumstances)
to our advantage. Other generalized fox symbolic meanings deal with Focus, determination, right-action
It should be obvious from this summary that fox animal symbolism goes far beyond what we may see on
the surface. On the contrary, the fox has an incredible amount of knowledge and wisdom to share with us
if/when we are willing to be still for the teachings.
Spend some meditative time with the spirit of the fox - odds are you will be amazed at the powerful
insight this regal creature has to offer you.
