I don't really get it either, but I figured my breakfast matched other derp pictures.

That's what my bonsai did. Survived by me guessing how to look after it, then I read how to do it, and it died!

These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place or where concentration camps stood.
They were designed by different sculptors (Dušan Džamonja, Vojin Bakić, Miodrag Živković, Jordan and Iskra Grabul, to name a few) and architects (Bogdan Bogdanović, Gradimir Medaković...), conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic. In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their "patriotic education." After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost.

"The Chinese customer at present walks into the dealership and he wants the Bentley," Durheimer says. "He is not ready to wait for another three months until you have built the car, he wants the car and if you don't sell it to him, he goes next door and buys something else.

"For this reason, at present we are preparing to have cars shipped to dealers with a pre-specification that we think will meet customer demands.

Usually we do Bentleys on demand, with specific customer specification, but it does not work in China. Maybe in 10 years, but now, in order to not lose sales, we need to prepare some cars to have in the showroom ready to sell to the customer the next day."
