#Anti Maclaren

[aes-555]

To the people hating on Piastri,

It's not Oscars fault tht your driver couldn't defend a p1 for his life

Oscar overtook him fair and square!

And if you think there is a chance of Lando winning wdc, you are delusional.. just do the math

If norris wanted tht win so bad, he would have overtaken the Ferrari and piastri.

Also what was up in the Podium? He didn't even acknowledge this teammate! Get a grip McLaren

The Memorial to the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation, which is commonly referred to as the Civilian War Memorial, is a memorial sculpture in Singapore. As the name suggests, the memorial was built in honor of the civilians killed during the Japanese occupation of Singapore during World War II.

During the short period of occupation (1942-1945) thousands of ethnic Chinese were killed in the Sook Ching Massacre. The massacre was a bloody effort to remove anti-Japanese elements from occupied Singapore. As part of this "removal," Chinese men between 18 and 50 years old were forced to report to the Kempeitai, the Imperial Japanese military police. The Japanese reported a death toll of around 6,000, but the official estimates put the number of dead much higher, with a range between 25,000 and 50,000.

Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, set aside a plot of land in March 1963 at Beach Road for a memorial dedicated to the civilians killed by the Japanese forces during the occupation of Singapore. A competition was organized to find a suitable design for the memorial, with the winning design coming from a representative of Swan and Maclaren Architects.  

The four identical pillars stand 70 meters tall, they represent the shared experiences and unity of the four major races that make up Singapore's population: Chinese, Eurasian, Indian, and Malay. The four towers of the memorial have been described by some as resembling four giant chopsticks giving it its local nickname.

Before the completion of the memorial, a ceremony was held during which 606 urns containing the remains of thousands of unknown civilian victims from mass graves were reinterred on either side of the memorial podium.

I watched House of the Dragon, and I couldn't help notice all the show bosses were men :( Do you think it's possible for people to tell compelling stories about affinity groups besides their own?

Umm... I suppose it's possible, but it's completely unnecessary and a terrible practice. You want to tell a story about the patriarchy and yet not put any women behind the scenes in charge? Seriously? There are so many great women writers and directors who would have benefited enormously from being show runners. And then you could have taken credit for being the "good guys" who could tolerate having women in charge.

That being said, I do realize that there are some women writers involved. I hope their voices are heard in the writer's room.

Beating Ferrari would be big boost for McLaren, says Norris

Beating Ferrari would be big boost for McLaren, says Norris

Lando Norris has enjoyed teasing his McLaren team mate Carlos Sainz about how the Ferrari-bound Spaniard could be joining a slower team next season, but the Briton is also serious.

Norris believes McLaren has a real chance of finishing ahead of Ferrari in the Formula One constructors’ championship this season.

If it does, the 20-year-old Briton has no doubt about how much it would mean for…

i would like to hear about Jamie's family politics<3

oh boy anon I hope you know what you're getting into <3

so. pre-'45, Jamie's living with his mother, his father, and his younger brother. which isn't unreasonable for the time I think - 18th century Highland families weren't actually all that big. (not sure if his grandparents are around? he probably has some cousins etc on his father's side living close by, but I think his mother's family is from further away. it was fairly common for women to move some distance away from their family when they got married.)

both Jamie's parents are Jacobites. both of them want to see the Stuarts returned to the British throne. but they have fundamentally different ways of looking at this. his father is a strong believer in the fact that the Stuarts have a right to the throne, the Glorious Revolution was unlawful, and it's only proper that the Hanoverians be sent back to where they came from. like quite a few Jacobites, he probably didn't mind Queen Anne - she technically was a Stuart, after all. and probably has a bit of anti-Union with England sentiment thrown in. basically he's a hardline Stuart supporter, ready to do his duty to them. his mother, meanwhile, is much less hardline about it. they have a duty to the Stuarts, yes, she thinks - but only if the Stuarts do their duty to the people. she's a believer in the reciprocal view of monarchy that was quite common in the Highlands at the time. and so her Jacobitism is more informed by what the Stuarts can do for her people - a belief that crops will grow better with a Stuart on the throne as God will be pleased, for instance (the Highlands had faced a famine from 1740-1741; it was an issue that weighed on people's minds), or that the Highlands and Scotland more broadly would be given a bigger role in Britain under a Stuart king

Jamie tends to follow his mother on this (and a lot of things, really. they're close). his comment in the Highlanders that 'the prince was the first to leave the field'? borne out of Highland frustration with Charles, probably (the campaign had been going badly, and Charles was increasingly turning towards his Irish advisors, who the Highlanders distrusted), but also towards a sense that they've been abandoned. the prince didn't do his duty by them, so they aren't bound to do their duty to him.

his brother, on the other hand... isn't so sure. he's closer to their father - Jamie might be his piping prodigy, but he's very much his mother's son - but Jamie's brother is quieter about his Jacobite sentiments over the years. and sure, they're pipers to their local landowner, they more than almost anyone have a responsibility to stand by the laird, in Jamie's father's eyes - but there's other people in their village, too. people who have a much less positive view of the Stuarts. people who remember the bloodshed of the '15, maybe, and the way the Jacobites were left in incompetent hands, and King James only shows up when it's too late.

1745 rolls around. the prince lands in Scotland. raises his standard at Glenfinnan. the laird raises a band of men to join the Stewarts of Appin and MacLaren's regiment. Jamie and his father follow of course. for Jamie, born in 1724, two years after the prince himself, it's a fight he's been expecting and hoping for and dreading all his life.

his brother declares for the government.

and all of a sudden, their tight-knit little household is blown wide open. the same thing is happening in other households, other families all over the Highlands, all over Scotland, all over the country. but it doesn't comfort them. Jamie's mother begs her youngest son to reconsider. to stay home, at least, if not to join the Jacobite army. Jamie's father doesn't speak to his youngest son at all, from the day he tells them he's picked his side to the day the laird musters his troops. Jamie himself is devastated. his own little brother has declared for the other side. worse than that, he wants to fight. and Jamie can't be there to protect him.

they don't part on good terms. maybe the reality hasn't really set in for either of them yet. that this is a war. that people will die. that they might die.

now the thing is. in reality, the MacCrimmon family fought on the government's side, not the Jacobite side. and one of their most prominent associations with the '45 is the Rout of Moy, where government troops were frightened away from Moy Hall by a handful of men pretending to be an army. there was only one casualty, that night. a MacCrimmon piper, probably killed by a panicked shot from his own side.

here, Jamie hears about this death, and knows deep in his gut that it's his brother.

the worst thing is, of course, that they parted in anger. he'll never get to say goodbye. he'll never get to say he's sorry. he'll never get to tell his little brother that he loved him, that he just wanted to keep him safe. his father won't even speak of it. like his second son never existed at all.

but by the time we meet Jamie in the Highlanders, he's the laird's piper. not his father.

at some point, his father charges off into battle and doesn't come back. they never find a body. at this point, the government army have little reason to take prisoners, and little interest in doing so. he's most likely been cut down and lost amongst the carnage. but Jamie never really accepts it. he pipes in his father's place, but he won't consider that he's gone, that he's now the man of his household. having a beard was seen as a sign of maturity and adulthood, for Highland men, but even in the Highlanders, after everything, Jamie's clean-shaven. he's not accepted his new role, yet. he's still hoping for his father to come back.

over the course of his travels in the TARDIS, he slowly accepts it. stays clean-shaven, obviously, out of habit or preference or just because he's somewhere where he doesn't have to fit in to cultural expectations. but he lets himself admit that his father is gone. when he's thrown back to Drumossie moor, he finds himself with that same certainty, even without all his memories - only it seems to have come over him all at once, rather than over the course of three years.

and what can he do, but go home? home to a property which had been his father's, which he had expected would one day be split between himself and his brother. when he arrives, even his mother is gone - alive, but some distance away, returned to her own family for their support in the absence of her husband and sons. he'll have to go and fetch her, soon enough. he can't do this on his own.

maybe she doesn't know he's the only one left. maybe he'll have to be the one to tell her.

but he's tired. it's been a long journey, from Drumossie, dodging redcoat bloodlust all the way. somehow, he feels like he's travelled much further. so he gets home, and he sits in an empty house, and he thinks about the family that used to live there, and how they've been torn apart.

Introduction

Who can you trust? Have you put any thought into this question? Perhaps you trust your family members or your friends, but what about people you don’t know? How can you differentiate between information is trustworthy and information that is completely made up for some ulterior motive? How can you possibly decide what information is reliable and from what sources you should obtain your knowledge?

Hi there! You might be wondering what this blog is all about and why I have posed you with so many ominous questions. We’ll get to that, but for starters, let me introduce myself. My name is Shane MacLaren and I am in my fourth year of the Biochemistry honours program at the University of New Brunswick. I am especially passionate about the environment, organic chemistry, and human rights! Some of my personal hobbies include playing video games and board games, makeup and fashion, reading, and being outside in nature. If you are looking for me, I can most certainly be found mulling about in the chemistry building participating in deep philosophical discussions with my colleagues in the office, having a laugh with my peers, or working away in the chemistry lab on my latest reaction!

By now you may be on the edge of your seat questioning everyone you have ever trusted. As a science advocate, being inquisitive and thinking about these things is a very important practice. There is never a good reason to blindly trust anything anyone says without the proper analysis and evidence. This is a very widespread theme across the topic this blog focuses on, which is climate change. Climate change is a well-studied issue yet continues to be scrutinized by a large group of people, in particular, “climate-deniers”. The main goal of this blog will be to explore the thought-process behind these beliefs and to gain context for why these anti-science campaigns have become such a popular trend in the last few years.

Let us take an in-depth look into these issues and come to our own conclusions about the reliability and consistency of the scientific method. Thank you for your time.

Barney and Robin moments in Season 4

Okay, here’s the list of B/R moments I noticed and loved from the second half of Season 4: 4.13 -This one was bereft of B/R moments, considering they didn’t even share a single scene. But I have to give mention to how sexy Barney is in this episode. I don’t know what it is exactly, but he’s fantastic in this episode. -On a side note, I’ve always wondered where Robin is when Barney and Ted bring “Puzzles” upstairs after they leave MacLaren’s. She’s living in the apartment, so you��d think she’d be present, especially since Lily’s out of town and she can’t be at work either because she doesn’t have a job yet. -(As we’ve already discussed) Marshall and Robin’s conversation foreshadows one of the problems of the B/R relationship to come and how the group tries to force their idea of what it means to be in love onto B/R and the disaster that follows because of that. 4.14 -This is a B/R goldmine. Of course there are the obvious things like Barney being so distraught after hearing about Robin’s deportation that he drops the letter he was holding, and then being willing to marry Robin (and even trying to propose to her). But the part where Barney says he doesn’t think he can use any of the footage he already has of her is interesting too. I still don’t believe he actually has a sex tape, so it’s fun to surmise what footage he could be talking about. It could be Robin Sparkles’ videos or old Metro News One shows (but why couldn’t he use those?), or depending on how sleazy you believe him to be I still remember that line that got cut from “Glitter” but was on the extra DVD footage about how Barney gave Robin a stuffed bear as a present but it actually had a hidden camera inside so he could record her in her bedroom. -Once again, we are shown Barney going to tremendous effort to help Robin and make her happy. I love Future Ted’s line “Thanks to your Uncle Barney we got to keep Aunt Robin”. -The scene at the end where they hug is perfection. First, right after her initial quick hug, Barney looks so shy and bashful, receiving such praise from her. But the second hug….the way she looks at him and the way he looks at her, and then she throws her arms around his neck, hugging him so tight, and his hand stroking over her hair, it’s just beautiful. I also love the way they look at each other as they’re pulling back from the hug. It’s hard to see because they cut away really quickly, but they’re both smiling, staring into each other’s eyes and Barney slides his hand down to her hip. 4.15 -Robin is very resistant to the idea that Barney has a girlfriend, and then when they’re following his cab, she looks upset and says that Narnia line being debated above. - Barney is so embarrassed that his mom said he calls her every day in front of Robin, but Robin thinks it’s cute. -When Barney’s fake wife comes down the stairs, he immediately looks nervously to Robin (and doing the introductions too), afraid of what her reaction will be. And Robin does seem the most angry of the group, and she's the one to confront Barney about this “wife” and “son” before he tells them that they’re both fake. -When they’re all waiting around for dinner, right before Ted goes to talk to Margaret by the table, Robin can be seen behind the couch looking at a childhood picture of Barney and then actually picking it up to study it. -After he flubs his lines at dinner, Robin defends the little boy playing Barney’s son, and after she speaks up Barney listens to her and just tells the kid to go eat his ice cream. Later, when he ��cries” after they find Ted and Margaret kissing, Barney and Robin exchange an impressed look. -And of course the scene at the end where his mom tells him if he meets someone special not to run away but to try, and then Robin comes to the door and they have that look and smile in the cab.

4.16 -When Robin is laughing over a monkey wearing two tuxedos, Barney’s just stares raptly at her, watching her laugh and smiling because she’s laughing (also, interestingly enough, Barney had footage of a monkey in a suit – the funnest thing Robin can imagine – in his video resume). -Robin smiles over at Barney when he gets so hysterical about the pants story. -Barney reveals the fact that he really hates that Ted and Robin are living together. 4.17 -This episode hints pretty strongly that deep down Barney is actually okay with the idea of marriage, and that kind of connection is something he even longs for subconsciously. 4.18 -This, once again, shows how alike Robin and Barney are because they are the only two who seem to know what all the sex acts are at Canadiansexacts.org. -In the very first scene where Robin reveals she once went home with a celebrity, Barney and Robin are sitting very close together, so close their arms are pressed together (and much closer than even Marshall and Lily, who are married!). -When Robin is telling the more provocative parts, she keeps looking over at Barney, including the part where Lily guesses the “Sticky Flapjack” and Robin says “That I would have done”, to which Barney looks intrigued. -Barney thinks Robin is talking about him and he’s flattered, but more interestingly he brings up a time when he “only put the mask on as a joke” (and he even says “for the last time”, like they’ve discussed this event many times already). He can’t be referring to the “Sandcastles” incident because Robin is talking about a time when she went home with a guy but he wanted to do something so freaky she left without anything happening between them. So at the very most Barney must be referring to one of the times he propositioned her that he alludes to in Season 3’s “Ten Sessions” (although I did see it suggested somewhere that maybe Barney hit on her when she was over at his apartment during “The Possimpible” because with all the costumes he had lying around that he used in her video, he could have easily had a mask that he put on too).

Also in 4.17, though it's technically a T/R moment since they're the ones making the pact to marry at 40, one could draw parallels between the fact that they had both Barney and Robin bring up marriage in the same episode, showing that they're both open to the idea, at least at some point in the distant future. 

  4.19 -Barney and Robin are so great together, but even more so this is an episode where you can really see Robin’s appreciation of Barney. She loves this side of him. She loves it when he’s being ridiculous and zany like this. They’re just having so much fun playing together, but especially it highlights how much Robin enjoys Barney’s company. It really shows how Robin is the perfect woman for Barney and he is the perfect man for her. -When Barney first says “Challenge accepted”, Robin is smiling in delight. And when he begins his speech about how he’s going to do everything on the list, she’s looking up at him in awe with a hint of “The Fight”’s level of attraction/desire. -Robin chooses to spend the entire weekend constantly with Barney when she did not have to go along with any of his stunts at all (which again proves how much she enjoys his company and how perfect she really is for him and he for her). -Robin is concerned for Barney’s ear, both when he first pierces it himself and later at the bar when it has become infected. -Barney and Robin similarly both want to stay young while Ted wants to be old, showing their connection and compatibility. -Of course their joint phone call is adorable, and the fact that they made their own anti-Murtaugh list together. -I love the little looks Barney and Robin keep exchanging in the scene where they show their list to Ted. And she seems so impressed with Barney when he raises the stakes on the bet. -Their little rave dance is too cute (and I think it’s funny that they together probably helped to unknowingly rob that apartment). -Robin is the one who insists Barney call off the bet for his own good. Also when Barney says after laser tag he needs to go to the hospital, he’s looking directly at her, like he knows she will go with him or at least he knows that’s an answer to her concerns for him. -At the very end when they’re toilet papering the laser tag place, when the manager first comes out, Robin looks very concerned for Barney and what will happen to him. Then when he says Barney is reinstated, Robin is grinning with happiness for him. And when he takes it back, she looks concerned again and even starts to approach Barney. 4.20 -At the beginning when they're talking about Ted not hiring an assistant he can sleep with, Barney and Robin keep sharing little looks and smiles as they jointly make fun of Ted. -There are a ton of very obvious moments from Barney, of course, with him being so upset that Robin is sleeping with Ted’s assistant, but then also when Barney reveals his feelings for Robin to Marshall. But what I really love is this very subtle moment when Barney storms away from the table after first hearing that Robin is sleeping with PJ, and you can see him in the background, standing there dejected with his head and arms actually facedown in defeat on the bar. -It’s very telling that after learning Marshall has known all along, the first thing Barney says is “you’ve been laughing at me behind my back this entire time”. He just automatically jumps to those insecurities that of course M/L would think it’s ridiculous that Robin would ever want to be with him. But then he’s so touched when they’re actually being supportive instead and think Barney and Robin would be perfect for each other. It’s like it gives him this little vote of confidence. -It is certainly a case of foreshadowing that in the episode immediately following “The Murtaugh List”, which makes it so clear that Barney and Robin are perfect together, Robin describes her ideal man as “smart, funny, passionate, challenging” which is an exact description of Barney. We’ve seen countless examples of Barney’s intelligence, and how he challenges Robin. If we’re talking passion in a sexual sense, we’ve seen plenty of that between B/R too, and if we’re talking passion meaning enthusiasm and dedication to a goal, “The Murtaugh List” immediately preceding 4.20 was a shining example. And the very next episode, 4.21, shows us how funny Robin thinks Barney is. 

I love "Murtaugh". Like you said, it shows how perfect they are for each other in a million different little ways, and also how they have the same kind of life philosophy. Plus, it shows how much fun they can be together. And I don't know why, but not only do I love that Robin goes along with all of Barney's crazy stunts without him asking, I also love that she does it all without seeming affected by it while Barney is exhausted. I have no idea why I find that funny, but I always do. 

And yes, I think it's super cute/sad that Barney's insecurities make him jump immediately to the thought of Marshall and Lily laughing at him and making fun of him behind his back. And Robin's description of her perfect man definitely does seem to fit Barney, and I obviously think that was on purpose. 

4.21 -There is this really cute interplay between Barney and Robin at the beginning when Barney starts talking about girls who names end in ‘y’ . Robin laughs at his joke and Barney stops and looks over at her with this look on his face like he’s very pleased that he made her laugh. And when he looks at her, Robin starts playing with her hair, putting it behind her ear. Then in the middle of his monologue on the origins of the 3 Days Rule, Robin starts laughing hysterically, and Barney glances over to her again, quite pleased with her laughter and it seems to spur him on in his story. And again, right before they cut away to the theme song, when Barney says “True story”, Robin giggles at him, and Barney turns to her, smiling at her laughter. -When Robin says Ted having only three months to live would be way more shocking than gay dreams, she mimes a head explosion with her hands in the exact same way that Barney does in “The Leap”. -In the tag scene, when it first fades in from black, Barney’s got his arm up around Robin on the back of the booth and they’re sitting very close, smiling at each other, and staring intently into one another’s eyes. Barney is the first to look away, but Robin keeps staring adoringly at him. It’s only when Stan comes that Robin looks away and Barney removes his arm from around her. 4.22 -There’s this great little look between B/R when Barney says “B-smooth don’t do nothing roughly” when they’re talking about how many women Barney hits on in a week. -They make a point of highlighting how Robin has also supposedly had a high number of sex partners (and they touched on this a little in the past when she was dating Ted), yet another thing she and Barney have in common, sharing a healthy desire for sex and the ability to separate the physical from the emotional (except for with each other), and one would assume then also not judging each other based on their pasts. -Robin shows a fascination with Barney’s list of women he’s slept with. Whenever we see her, she is studying this list, reading it over with much more attention then anyone else has shown.

And yeah, while I assume that the number of men Robin has slept with is way (way, way, way) lower than the number of women Barney has slept with, they do seem to share a similar outlook on sex in general. They did touch on that in Season 2, implying by Ted's reaction that Robin had slept with more people than he had, which obviously bothered him.

4.23 -Robin is clearly charmed by Barney’s ‘what up quake’ joke. -When Robin hears that Ted got Tony to dump Stella, she requests a fist bump and then says she’ll be waiting (with her hand still raised) until Ted gets back to receive her fist bump, just like Barney does in “Intervention”. -Ted’s ringtone for Barney is “Let’s Go To The Mall”. -When Lily comes back at the end and mentions the joke Barney told that so disgusted and offended her, Barney looks guiltily over at Robin like he’s worried what her reaction will be, or at the very least like he’s ashamed of being called out in front of her. 4.24 -There are so many B/R moments in this one. Of course the Mosbying in the hospital was actually unintentionally deeply honest, particularly when Barney asks her “Why are you so afraid of giving this a chance?” and she answers “Because I’m afraid of how much I like you”. Then of course there’s “With you I want the trouble”, which is classic. -Possibly the most telling moment when it comes to Robin’s feelings is her inner debate when discussing this with M/L at MacLaren’s. She says, “It's Barney”, in a disgusted ‘he’ll always be a womanizer’ tone. Then, a second later, “I mean.....it’s Barney”, in a soft, tender tone, and it’s like she’s stopping and really thinking about all that she feels for Barney and the times they’ve shared. But then she jumps right back to, “But it's Barney”, and the ‘he’s a womanizer’ tone returns again. You can really see the debate within Robin that continues to rage pretty much up to this day: her heart wants him but her heads says it’s a bad idea. (But maybe now that Barney has gone so far as to become an engaged man, it will show Robin that she was wrong about him. Of course what happens in the aftermath could bring those fears back…) -I also like how Barney starts out by Mosbying Robin too at Ted’s party. He’s wanted her all this time and yet when he thinks he’s finally gotten her, he’s terrified, doesn’t know what to do, and runs away – much like we’ll later see Robin do in “Tick Tick Tick”. -The looks on their faces as they leap are fantastic. First, when Robin leaps, Barney is clearly terrified for her safety. Then when Barney is preparing to leap, Robin looks anxious for his safety too, but then it’s about so much more than just the physical leap, and you can see such excitement and hope on their faces. -I love it that when he lands on the other side they let Barney and Robin share a hug, just the two of them, as a symbol of the relationship they will now start.

Jahresrückblick

Dieses Jahr war merkwürdig. Es verging einerseits sehr schnell andererseits hat es sich manchmal hingezogen.

2018 hatte viele Hochs und Tiefs. Ich habe zu Beginn des Jahres eine Freundschaft verloren womit ich nicht gerechnet habe. Genauso habe ich im Laufe des Jahres neue Freundschaften hinzu gewonnen. Personen die mir viel bedeuten und mich hoffentlich lange begleiten, gerne auch Freundschaften für's Leben werden dürfen.

Generell bin ich meinen engsten Freunden dankbar, dankbar dafür das wir Freunde sind und auf euch auch in schwierigen Zeiten Verlass ist: Anna, Janina, Marcel, Jan, Celine(@ihr-seid-alle-gleich )

Im Sommer hat mich etwas "erwischt" womit ich nicht gerechnet habe und es zu Beginn selbst nicht erkannt habe: eine Depression. Woher, wieso oder warum keine Ahnung, vielleicht der Stress und die Veränderungen der vorherigen Monate, ich weiß es nicht.

Ich habe mir mehfach die Frage gestellt ob ich dies öffentlich machen sollte. Und bin zu dem Entschluss gekommen: Ja sollte man, denn viel zu oft wird die mentale und psychische Gesundheit auf die leichte Schulter genommen und von außen verurteilt. Nach 6,5 Monaten habe ich mich entschieden das Anti-Depressivum abzusetzen, da ich mich viel besser fühle als Mitte dieses Jahres und keine medikamentöse Unterstützung mehr brauche.

Ich bin froh darüber relativ schnell für die heutige Zeit eine Therapeutin gefunden zu haben. Es sind immer weiter Wege quer durch die Stadt zu den Sitzungen, aber sie sind es wert.

Ich habe in dieser Zeit einiges vernachlässigt, gerade meine Hobbys darunter Sport, kochen und backen und Sims spielen (wer mich länger kennt weiß Sims ist meine absolute Leidenschaft). Ich war froh über die Unterstützung meiner Freunde und Eltern und darüber das ich meinen Hund Robby hatte.

Seit November habe ich für mich verstärkt gemerkt das es stimmungsmäßig wieder aufwärts geht. Ich gehe wieder zum Sport, habe im Dezember so viel gebacken wie schon lange nicht mehr und Sims wird auch wieder gespielt. Daher auch unter anderem der Entschluss das Anti-Depressivum Mitte Dezember abzusetzen.

Ein sehr trauriger und plötzlicher Schicksalsschlag war der Tod von Familienhund Robby Mitte November, es war nicht leicht ihn gehen zu lassen, aber die richtige Entscheidung. Er fehlt mir.

Doch das Jahr hatte auch positive Seiten, in der Uni läuft es gut, ich hatte im Sommer einen wunderschönen Urlaub auf Kreta mit meinem Papa, ich hatte viele tolle Unternehmungen mit Freunden. So viele einzelne das ich sie gar nicht aufzählen kann. Meine persönlichen Highlights, Eis-Essen mit meiner besten Freundin und IKEA-Besuche; die "Mittwochs-Tradition" in der Uni meine liebste Zeit jeden Mittwoch aufs neue, hoffentlich klappt es diese im neuen Semester fortzuführen, im Semester zuvor waren es die Dienstage; Tolle und lustige Abende im MacLarens Pub; Kinobesuche & Spaziergänge zum Pokemon fangen, Karneval der Kulturen; Tagesausflüge nach Hamburg; und zum Abschluss ein schönes Weihnachtsfest mit meinen Eltern.

Ich schaue gespannt auf 2019, mal sehen was das Jahr so bringen wird.

Und damit wünsche ich allen einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

VW y el Anti-Monarquismo: Café Society, 1994.

Originadora del punk, figura contracultural y diseñadora aclamada, Vivienne Westwood reescribió el libro de reglas de la moda en múltiples ocasiones y una radical involucrada políticamente en su trabajo, sus valores antisistema apareciendo mucho en sus colaboraciones con Michael Maclaren y en el controversial desfile del Café Society en 1994.

El desfile de Cafe Society de la Dama, Vivienne Westwood, fue una colección de estereotipos er��ticos caricaturizados y tradiciones sartoriales deconstruidas, usadas como una crítica directa a la monarquía británica y al Estado el cual representa. El desfile de Westwood's Cafe Society tuvo lugar en París, en el InterContinental Paris Le Grand Hotel en 1994, un hotel que todavía alberga muchos desfiles de moda dentro de sus paredes.

Westwood vistió a sus modelos con borlas, corsetería y ganchillo para convertir a sus modelos en coristas isabelinas, formando una parodia subversiva de las históricas convenciones femeninas. Hubo un fuerte énfasis en el escote y una expresión de sexualidad cuando los zapatos Crakow (un estilo puntiagudo y largo del siglo XV) fueron reapropiados y adornados con vibradores. Al igual que con la ropa, el cabello y el maquillaje aplicaron el mismo énfasis en la sátira y la ruptura de las convenciones históricas; todo para poder convocar la era isabelina marcada por la Reina de Inglaterra de una forma satírica y crítica. El desfile fue protagonizado por Kate Moss, Yasmine le Bon y Naomi Campbell, algunas de las supermodelos más reconocidas a mediados de los 90.

En 1994, el periódico Daily Mail había hecho una crítica fuerte a la colección previa de Westwood y su explícito comentario político. Con el desfile de Cafe Society en 1994, Westwood, se deleitó con esta condena conservadora (profundamente irónica), su colección era profundamente conflictiva y reflejaba su personalidad como una activista política.

Los valores antimonárquicos de Westwood fueron una parte fuerte de su personalidad, y fueron fuertemente representados en el desfile de 1994, lo cual hace más curioso el mensaje de respeto casí vindicador que había publicado cuando la Reina Isabel II murió este pasado mes, citándola como una figura que sostuvo al país. Parece paradójico que haga este tipo de mensaje casi vindicador de la difunta Reina considerando su pasado y trabajo anti monarca junto a Maclaren con los Sex Pistols por ejemplo, o con el desfile del Café Society en 1994.
