Getting to Know Great Danes
By Anthony Sages
For those who love them, Great Danes represent the best of the canine kingdom. Majestic in stature and mental capacity, representations of Great Danes adorn the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs. The Romans are said to have brought them home from their conquest of Britain. By the Middle Ages, Germanic tribes developed and refined the breed. Over many centuries, the breed gained recognition as a fighting dog. In the late 1800s, Great Danes first came to America and quickly earned a reputation for viciousness.
However, by the early 1900s, breeders set out to transform the Great Dane into a “kinder, gentler” breed. Today, Great Danes earn high marks as good pets and protectors. Owners find them loyal, dependable, spirited, and fearless. Great Danes reach about 30-32 inches in height and weigh up to 120 pounds. They require a lot of room for exercise and play. As of 2009, the Guinness Book of World Records measured the tallest Great Dane at 42.25 inches from floor to shoulder. Great Danes tend to mature slowly. Owners should consult specialists regarding their Great Dane’s nutritional needs during key periods of growth.
In addition, Great Danes possess deep chests, which put them at risk for bloating. Many people may wonder how Great Danes acquired their name. The name dates back to Comte de Buffon, a French naturalist, who saw the breed while traveling through Denmark. Noting that this breed appeared thinner in Denmark, he determined that the conditions in the country made these dogs “Grand Danois.” This led to the name Great Danish Dog, and later the term Great Dane.

Overview of Modern Art, by Anthony Sages
Modern art is an artistic style that began in the mid-1800s and continued to evolve up until the 1970s.  Embraced for its experimental nature, modern art expresses fresh ideas and perspectives through the use of unique materials and mediums. Abstract, postmodern, and contemporary art all embody modern art styles that were made famous by artists such as Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso. Other renowned artists of this style include Marcel Duchamp and Eugene Delacroix. Many movements exist within the realm of modern art expression. Impressionism stands out as one of the first major modern art movements. Characterized by small, distinct brushstrokes, impressionism was hailed for its inclusion of movement and unique angles. Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet are considered the most quintessential impressionist artists of the 1800s. Surrealism also endures as one of the greatest accomplishments of the modern art movement.  Artists such as Andre Masson and Giorgio de Chirico popularized the Surrealist movement by applying unexpected elements to their artwork. Common features of this style included surprise and political innuendo, which allowed this art form to achieve philosophical significance. Interestingly, surrealism was applied to many mediums, including literature, music, film, and other art forms. About the Author: Anthony Sages currently operates as the Divisional President and Chief Sales Officer for AXA Advisors, LLC. Aside from his professional responsibilities, Anthony Sages possesses a great interest in modern art, which he enjoys collecting and viewing at various galleries located throughout New York City, such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Anthony Sages looks forward to learning more about favored artists and modern art style.

Surfing Tips from Anthony Sages
1.    Be sure to start off with the right gear. Generally speaking, a smaller board will be harder to maneuver and stand up on when you are first learning, so find a lesson center or rental store that can provide a longer and wider surfboard for those first lessons.
2.    Consider your surf leash length. The length of your leash should be at least as long as your board. Any shorter, and you risk getting hit in the head by your board when you fall in the water.
3.    It will take a few tries to figure out the proper stance on your board. You will know when you are too far forward if the front tip of the board continues to sink under the water as you try to paddle into the wave. If you are too far back on the board, it will be difficult for you to gain speed as you paddle forward.
4.    Always paddle with one arm at a time in order to gain a constant and powerful speed. Keep paddling until you feel the wave is pushing you forward. Many individuals quit paddling too soon, and as a result, the wave passes under them. Paddle strong and hard to catch the wave.
5.    Learn the patterns of the swell to determine the best “paddle in” points. Generally you will find that you can follow the lead of other surfers, but be careful not to paddle into waves that are too powerful for your skill level.
6.    To stand up on the board, practice getting up in one swift motion, using your arm strength to lift yourself from the paddle position to your standing position. Keep low on the board with your knees bent and feather forwards or backwards for optimal placement.
About the Author: Anthony Sages currently serves as the Divisional President and Chief Sales Officer of AXA Advisors, LLC. Committed to his career in the financial arena, Anthony Sages also finds time to enjoy a number of hobbies, including surfing, extreme skiing, and big game hunting. Anthony Sages remains a top preforming executive and believes that a well-balanced lifestyle contributes to a highly fulfilling professional and personal existence.

Anthony Sages on Great Danes
Originally bred in Germany and Denmark from large mastiffs brought by an ancient nomadic tribe, Great Danes quickly became popular throughout the country as wild boar hunters. When they first arrived in the United States at the end of the 19th century, Great Danes were known as Boar Hounds, though the name also denoted other large hunting dogs. Today, specialists hypothesize that the Great Dane resulted from crossbreeding between English mastiffs and Irish Wolfhounds. The Great Dane remains one of the largest breeds in the world, growing over three feet tall. The American Kennel Club recognizes Great Danes as one of the largest working breeds, while noting that they maintain a great deal of poise and grace despite their large size.
Great Danes have short coats and large floppy ears that some may crop. Traditionally, owners would crop ears to minimize the chance of injury during hunts. Since Great Danes now exist as companion dogs, the procedure is unnecessary, though some continue it for the sake of tradition. Breeders have produced Great Danes with coats in a variety of colors, including fawn, brindle, harlequin, black, blue, and mantle. Several other color variations blend the traits of the aforementioned patterns. Some breeders also offer white Great Danes, though others worry that this color may have a genetic link to deafness.
Generally, Great Danes possess an extremely friendly disposition with other dogs and humans, as well as other animals. The dog rarely chases smaller animals and prefers to conserve energy due to its low metabolism. Because of this metabolism, Great Danes consume notably less per pound than smaller breeds. Like all purebred dogs, Great Danes suffer from certain genetic health problems, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and heart disease, though the risk is small. Like other deep-chested breeds, Great Danes may suffer from gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat), but owners can take certain steps to avoid this problem, such as discouraging exercise immediately before and after eating. On average, Great Danes live about six to seven years.

Anthony Sages Discusses Mykonos
Part of the Cyclades islands southeast of the Greek mainland, Mykonos has captured the imaginations of travelers for decades. Known for its beaches as much as its nightlife, the island grants individuals access to breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable adventures. Those who visit Mykonos often fall in love with the island’s charm, which stems from its beautiful trademark windmills, the pelicans that have become the island’s mascot, and a number of archaeological and architectural highlights. Mykonos features both an Archaeological Museum and an Aegean Maritime Museum, which displays ancient artifacts involved in the Mykonos shipping trade and explores the evolution of boating throughout the centuries. An area known as Little Venice boasts structures built directly on the shoreline, overhanging the water for a unique effect that rivals the canals of Venice. When visiting Mykonos, tourists must try the island’s three primary specialties: louza, kopanisti, and amigdalota. A type of salami, louza became famous throughout the world largely due to the specialized spice blend and curing process that Mykonos natives utilize. Most individuals fall for kopanisti at first taste. The distinctive cheese made from cow, goat, and sheep milk has a sharp bite and creamy texture. Kopanisti often accompanies ouzo, a traditional Greek spirit flavored with anise seed. Amigdalota, which literally means “almond sweet,” is a pastry prepared for special occasions around the year. Two forms of amigdalota exist: an elongated pastry coated with powdered sugar and a more cake-like dessert baked into a cup shape. Visitors should make time to see Delos, an important archaeological site located on Mykonos; the Armenistis lighthouse; and the Paraportiani, a church whose architecture has come to represent that of the entire Cyclades. Mykonos also boasts some of the best beaches of all the Greek islands, with white sand and bright, aquamarine water. The island’s most popular area, Paradise Beach, features a number of interesting bars and nightclubs, as well as camping facilities and diving training for those wishing to explore the depths of the surrounding waters.
