Silent Achiever

Silent Achiever (foaled 18 September 2008) is a champion New Zealand Thoroughbred racehorse. On 3 March 2012, she won the 137th running of the New Zealand Derby. She was the first filly to win the race since 1993, and only the fourth in the last 45 years.

Background

Silent Achiever is trained by Roger James at his Kingsclere Stables in Cambridge, New Zealand. She was bred by Kevin Hickman of Valachi Downs, near Matamata. Hickman noted, "She's got a very balanced pedigree and she's got a very good cardiovascular system and a great turn of foot. Zabeel gives her that stamina and O'Reilly gives her that turn of foot. She's got a great brain on her too. She thinks the runs the world. She's arrogant and she's got a big opinion of herself. She's going to be one of the foundation mares at Valachi Downs that was born and bred on the farm."

Racing career

Silent Achiever was a maiden until December 7, so a nomination for the Derby wasn't even considered when first nominations were taken in late November. But what followed after her maiden win was an extraordinary rise to stardom. Silent Achiever finished third behind 1000 Guineas winner Planet Rock in the Group 2 Eight Carat Classic on Boxing Day, then won the Group 2 Championship Stakes on January 1, the Group 3 Waikato Guineas on January 28 - beating then-Derby favourite Ocean Park - and the Group 2 Avondale Guineas on February 18.

Enneagram of Personality

The Enneagram of Personality, or simply the Enneagram (from the Greek words ἐννέα [ennea, meaning "nine"] and γράμμα [gramma, meaning something "written" or "drawn"]), is a model of human personality which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types. Although the origins and history of many of the ideas and theories associated with the Enneagram of Personality are a matter of dispute, contemporary Enneagram understandings are principally derived from the teachings of Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. Naranjo's theories were partly influenced by some earlier teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff. As a typology the Enneagram defines nine personality types (sometimes referred to as "enneatypes"), which are represented by the points of a geometric figure called an enneagram, which, it is believed, also indicate some of the connections between the types. There are different schools of thought among Enneagram teachers, therefore their ideas on some theoretical aspects are not always in agreement.

Silent (Gerald Walker song)

"Silent" is the first single from Gerald Walker's I Remember When This All Meant Something....

Background

Gerald said he chose "Silent" to be his first single because "the song's subject matter is one which is rarely touched on in hip-hop."

Rey Hussein of It's Not That Serious writes "Silent is one of the most personal, sentimental and lyrical pieces of work Walker has to date. Featuring creepy, fantasy elements on the beat, followed by some heavy synths and soft drums. Walker's sing-song flow about keeping an encounter on the hush, is not only classy but praise-worthy as well."

Music video

Directed by Da Visionaryz, the music video was shot in the third week of November, 2010. It was shot in Chicago, Illinois, Gerald Walker's hometown and is expected to be released in December 2010
