Celebrating the 2023-24 Outstanding Student Award Recipients

Tim "Teo" Jakobsen and Florence Fadipe at the Texas Parents Ambassadors Council Meeting luncheon in March 2024

On a campus that is driving healthcare innovation and becoming a destination for world-class specialty care, two seniors stand out for their avid pursuit of careers in this field. Texas Parents is recognizing Florence Fadipe and Tim “Teo” Jakobsen as this year’s Outstanding Student Award recipients, setting them apart as the cream of the crop of our 52,000 students.

This award is a time-honored UT Austin tradition since 1951 identifying high caliber students who model exceptional leadership, scholarship, character and service. When you read through the list of past recipients, you’ll notice some well-known alumni who have gone on to become leaders in education, public service, law, healthcare, business and philanthropy.

Meet this year’s recipients below and find out how they ventured outside their comfort zones to succeed on our vibrant campus through transformative opportunities and communities.

Florence Fadipe

Florence Fadipe came to UT Austin from Dallas curious, eager to learn and ready to meet other Longhorns. The senior’s passion for people and compassion for others led her to Healthyhorns – where her involvement exemplifies “healthy bodies, healthy minds, healthy lives.” She broadened her horizons outside of her major of nursing, discovering there’s more than one way to be a Longhorn. Our campus took her leadership skills to the next level.

“The motto ‘What Starts Here Changes the World’ is a direct reflection of my life path. It depicts what all students at UT students are capable of with the immense realization that you can go above with your experiences and don’t have to limit yourself to one path,” said Fadipe.

Her path as a School of Nursing student and compassion for others led her to the Counseling and Mental Health Center as a student associate supporting the administrative staff. She’s also a member of the Student Health Advisory Committee to help provide student insight to Healthyhorns team which includes the counseling center, Longhorn Wellness Center and University Health Services. She also helped create policies for nursing staff by researching other Big XII institutions for University Health Services during the Division of Student Affairs Summer Internship Program.

As a first-generation college student and resident assistant, Fadipe supports first-year students in their transition to University life. She’s also built real-world career experience as an intensive care unit nurse extern.

“She appreciates nursing as a commitment, a duty and a heartfelt service given to one’s individuals and community,” noted her nominator.

Fadipe also serves as an Information Technology Support student consultant, and is part of the student organization Global Medical Training and community organization Uplift Austin. After graduation, she plans to work in a cardiovascular intensive care unit then pursue a master's in nursing informatics. She chose to direct the $1,000 award grant to the School of Nursing’s scholarship fund.

Tim “Teo” Jakobsen

Tim “Teo” Jakobsen is described as a servant-oriented leader with a “rare combination of vision, empathy and decisiveness.” The senior inspires and motivates other Longhorns – whether it’s leading his ultimate frisbee team or designing service projects for a student organization he helped found – the E. Lee Walker Fellowship. He balances rigorous academic achievement in neuroscience, Polymathic Scholars and Plan II Honors with supporting faculty research projects, mentoring younger students and shadowing local doctors to build career skills. He’s also dedicated to serving the Austin community through various volunteer organizations.

“This isn’t the end of the journey, it’s the beginning. We’re challenging preconceived notions, contributing to the greater atmosphere on campus and being life-long learners. It’s the skills I’m developing here that are the building blocks for the rest of life,” shared Jakobsen.

Drawing from his family’s Norwegian heritage, Jakobsen makes a case to import the Norwegian concept of “friluftsliv” – “fresh air life” – to the United States. He focused his thesis project on this concept, but also lives it out through several intramural sports, service-oriented student organizations and community service.

As a freshman arriving from McKinney, Texas, Jakobsen joined a brand new organization: The E. Lee Walker Fellowship. The student organization provides students with a holistic set of tools to collaborate alongside community leaders and experts to develop comprehensive solutions for sustainable, social impact. He is helping lead a partnership with UT Outpost to provide nutritious food to students living in West Campus.

“He takes initiative, leads by example and fosters an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued,” added his nominator.

Jakobsen also plays intramural dodgeball, basketball and flag football, is a member of the Plan II Pre-Med Society and Texas Triple Helix at Austin. He serves as a Plan II freshman mentor and member of the Director’s Student Advisory Board. After graduation from the College of Natural Sciences and College of Liberal Arts, Jakobsen will take a gap year to learn the ropes of how to care for his family’s farm in Norway, then he’ll attend medical school. He chose to direct the $1,000 award grant to The E. Lee Walker Fellowship.

In addition to the $1,000 grant, the Outstanding Student Award recipients received a plaque and a brick paver laid at the Student Services Building. Texas Parents also recognizes four award finalists. Read more about the finalists and their campus activities. Congrats to these recipients!

Shared Residence Orders - In the Child's Best Interests?

The ongoing Court of Advance instance of T v T [2010] gives an accommodating update on shared residence orders. The appellants were a female couple in a common association. The kids, a multi year old young lady and multi year old kid, had been destined to one of the appellants ("M") and the respondent ("F"). F had a male accomplice. The two couples had delighted in long and stable connections. The youngsters had lived with the appellants and had contact with the respondent. M and F both had parental duty regarding the kids.

Following the breakdown of the connection between the appellants and the respondent there were challenged court procedures concerning the youngsters' residence. Mr Recorder Barker QC requested a mutual residence request among M and F with the kids spending "a noteworthy segment of the year" with F "despite the fact that emphatically inconsistent" when contrasted and the time they would live with M. He additionally allowed parental obligation to M's accomplice ("L") as she was a fundamental piece of the kids' lives. He rejected M's application to limit F's parental duty and furthermore denied L's application for a common residence request with M.

M and L requested and requested a mutual residence request to support them or, if not fruitful, a request allowing residence to every one of the three gatherings. In the keep running up to the intrigue hearing, F said he would consent to a residence request for every one of the three grown-ups.

M and L sought after their intrigue on various grounds, the essential one being that the residence request for M and F didn't mirror the truth of the kids' lives as the appellants had consistently been their essential carers. They depicted themselves as the youngsters' "family unit" and said that the residence request minimized L's job in the family, which was not in the kids' best advantages.

They likewise contended that the Recorder ought to have considered the way that the appellants had made it unmistakable to F and his accomplice from the start that they would be the essential guardians of the kids with F having some contribution through contact and that F just obtained PR since they felt incapable to oppose his harassing and mastery. Get More Info florence residences

In the Court of Claim Woman Equity Dark gave the main judgment and held that now and again it might be proper to make discoveries about the gatherings' goals when they set out upon parenthood yet this was not such a case. Whatever the underlying expectations of the gatherings, things had proceeded onward with time and the requests needed to "oblige the situation as it really was as opposed to the position that the grown-ups needed or had initially arranged." In truth F's contribution with the youngsters had been extensive and the two kids adored M, F and their accomplices and were energetic about their lives in every family. The Recorder had discovered that:

The kids "know who their folks are, they know the job that L plays in their lives, and approval or naming is an issue for or, all the more precisely, between the guardians and grown-ups, not the kids."

Woman Equity Dark considered that the Recorder had allowed parental obligation to L, which gave her acknowledgment as a parent. In the Youngsters Demonstration 1989 parental obligation is characterized as "every one of the rights, obligations, forces, duties and expert which by law a parent of a tyke has in connection to the tyke and his property."

A residence request can be made for more than one individual and, if the individuals don't live respectively, the request can indicate the occasions when the kids will live in every family. Mutual residence requests are progressively normal, for instance "it might be mentally helpful to the guardians in accentuating the equity of their position and duties" (Sir Imprint Potter, at that point Leader of the Family Division).

Woman Equity Dark expressed that the best advantages of the youngster in light of the considerable number of elements for the situation ought to decide if a mutual residence request is made and that it's anything but a pre-imperative that the timeframes went through with each parent are equivalent or even that there is participation and altruism between the guardians.

Woman Equity Dark held that a mutual residence request among M and F was inside the Recorder's caution when thinking about what was in the youngsters' best advantages. Be that as it may, she considered the further issue of what might befall the youngsters were M to kick the bucket during the time of the common residence request with F. In this circumstance F would have the option to expel the kids from L's consideration notwithstanding her having parental obligation and she would then need to issue an application for residence to have them come back to her. Considering, Woman Equity Dark corrected the residence request to incorporate L. In every single other regard she rejected the intrigue.

Variety’s Grammy-nominated Hitmaker of the Year goes deep on the music industry, the great pause and finding his own muses.

“We’ll dance again,” Harry Styles coos, the Los Angeles sunshine peeking through his pandemic-shaggy hair just so. The singer, songwriter and actor — beloved and critically acclaimed thanks to his life-affirming year-old album, “Fine Line” — is lamenting that his Variety Hitmaker of the Year cover conversation has to be conducted over Zoom rather than in person. Even via videoconference, the Brit is effortlessly charming, as anyone who’s come within earshot of him would attest, but it quickly becomes clear that beneath that genial smile is a well-honed media strategy.

To wit: In an interview that appears a few days later announcing his investment in a new arena in his native Manchester (more on that in a bit), he repeats the refrain — “There will be a time we dance again”— referencing a much-needed return to live music and the promise of some 4,000 jobs for residents.

None of which is to suggest that Styles, 26, phones it in for interviews. Quite the opposite: He does very few, conceivably to give more of himself and not cheapen what is out there and also to use the publicity opportunity to indulge his other interests, like fashion. (Last month Styles became the first male to grace the cover of Vogue solo.) Still, it stings a little that a waltz with the former One Direction member may not come to pass on this album cycle — curse you, coronavirus.

Styles’ isolation has coincided with his maturation as an artist, a thespian and a person. With “Fine Line,” he’s proved himself a skilled lyricist with a tremendous ear for harmony and melody. In preparing for his role in Olivia Wilde’s period thriller “Don’t Worry Darling,” which is shooting outside Palm Springs, he found an outlet for expression in interpreting words on a page. And for the first time, he’s using his megaphone to speak out about social justice — inspired by the outpouring of support for Black people around the world following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police in May.

Styles has spent much of the past nine months at home in London, where life has slowed considerably. The time has allowed him to ponder such heady issues as his purpose on the earth. “It’s been a pause that I don’t know if I would have otherwise taken,” says Styles. “I think it’s been pretty good for me to have a kind of stop, to look and think about what it actually means to be an artist, what it means to do what we do and why we do it. I lean into moments like this — moments of uncertainty.”

In truth, while Styles has largely been keeping a low profile — his Love On Tour, due to kick off on April 15, was postponed in late March and is now scheduled to launch in February 2021 (whether it actually will remains to be seen) — his music has not. This is especially true in the U.S., where he’s notched two hit singles, “Adore You,” the second-most-played song at radio in 2020, and “Watermelon Sugar” (No. 22 on Variety’s year-end Hitmakers chart), with a third, “Golden,” already cresting the top 20 on the pop format. The massive cross-platform success of these songs means Styles has finally and decisively broken into the American market, maneuvering its web of gatekeepers to accumulate 6.2 million consumption units and rising.

Why do these particular songs resonate in 2020? Styles doesn’t have the faintest idea. While he acknowledges a “nursery rhyme” feel to “Watermelon Sugar” with its earwormy loop of a chorus, that’s about as much insight as he can offer. His longtime collaborator and friend Tom Hull, also known as the producer Kid Harpoon, offers this take: “There’s a lot of amazing things about that song, but what really stands out is the lyric. It’s not trying to hide or be clever. The simplicity of watermelon … there’s such a joy in it, [which] is a massive part of that song’s success.” Also, his kids love it. “I’ve never had a song connect with children in this way,” says Hull, whose credits include tunes by Shawn Mendes, Florence and the Machine and Calvin Harris. “I get sent videos all the time from friends of their kids singing. I have a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old, and they listen to it.”

Styles is quick to note that he doesn’t chase pop appeal when crafting songs. In fact, the times when he pondered or approved a purposeful tweak, like on his self-titled 2017 debut, still gnaw at him. “I love that album so much because it represents such a time in my life, but when I listen to it — sonically and lyrically, especially — I can hear places where I was playing it safe,” he says. “I was scared to get it wrong.”

Contemporary effects and on-trend beats hardly factor into Styles’ decision-making. He likes to focus on feelings — his own and his followers’ — and see himself on the other side of the velvet rope, an important distinction in his view. “People within [the industry] feel like they operate on a higher level of listening, and I like to make music from the point of being a fan of music,” Styles says. “Fans are the best A&R.”

This from someone who’s had free rein to pursue every musical whim, and hand in the album of his dreams in the form of “Fine Line.” Chart success makes it all the sweeter, but Styles insists that writing “for the right reasons” supersedes any commercial considerations. “There’s no part that feels, eh, icky — like it was made in the lab,” he says.

Styles has experience in this realm. As a graduate of the U.K. competition series “The X Factor,” where he and four other auditionees — Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson — were singled out by show creator and star judge Simon Cowell to conjoin as One Direction, he’s seen how the prefab pop machine works up close. The One Direction oeuvre, which counts some 42 million albums sold worldwide, includes songs written with such established hitmakers as Ryan Tedder, Savan Kotecha and Teddy Geiger. Being a studious, insatiable observer, Styles took it all in.

“I learned so much,” he says of the experience. “When we were in the band, I used to try and write with as many different people as I could. I wanted to practice — and I wrote a lot of bad shit.”

His bandmates also benefited from the pop star boot camp. The proof is in the relatively seamless solo transitions of at least three of its members — Payne, Malik and Horan in addition to Styles — each of whom has landed hit singles on charts in the U.K., the U.S. and beyond.

This departs from the typical trajectories of boy bands including New Kids on the Block and ’N Sync, which have all pro ered a star frontman. The thinking for decades was that a record company would be lucky to have one breakout solo career among the bunch.

Styles has plainly thought about this.

“When you look at the history of people coming out of bands and starting solo careers, they feel this need to apologize for being in the band. ‘Don’t worry, everyone, that wasn’t me! Now I get to do what I really want to do.’ But we loved being in the band,” he says. “I think there’s a wont to pit people against each other. And I think it’s never been about that for us. It’s about a next step in evolution. The fact that we’ve all achieved different things outside of the band says a lot about how hard we worked in it.”

Indeed, during the five-ish years that One Direction existed, Styles’ schedule involved the sort of nonstop international jet-setting that few get to see in a lifetime, never mind their teenage years. Between 2011 and 2015, One Direction’s tours pulled in north of $631 million in gross ticket sales, according to concert trade Pollstar, and the band was selling out stadiums worldwide by the time it entered its extended hiatus. Styles, too, had built up to playing arenas as a solo artist, engaging audiences with his colorful stage wear and banter and left-of-center choices for opening acts (a pre-Grammy-haul Kacey Musgraves in 2018; indie darlings King Princess and Jenny Lewis for his rescheduled 2021 run).

Stages of all sizes feel like home to Styles. He grew up in a suburb of Manchester, ground zero for some of the biggest British acts of the 1980s and ’90s, including Joy Division, New Order, the Smiths and Oasis, the latter of which broke the same year Styles was born. His parents were also music lovers. Styles’ father fed him a balanced diet of the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones and Queen, while Mum was a fan of Shania Twain, Norah Jones and Savage Garden. “They’re all great melody writers,” says Styles of the acts’ musical throughline.

Stevie Nicks, who in the past has described “Fine Line” as Styles’ “Rumours,” referencing the Fleetwood Mac 1977 classic, sees him as a kindred spirit. “Harry writes and sings his songs about real experiences that seemingly happened yesterday,” she tells Variety. “He taps into real life. He doesn’t make up stories. He tells the truth, and that is what I do. ‘Fine Line’ has been my favorite record since it came out. It is his ‘Rumours.’ I told him that in a note on December 13, 2019 before he went on stage to play the ‘Fine Line’ album at the Forum. We cried. He sang those songs like he had sung them a thousand times. That’s a great songwriter and a great performer.”

“Harry’s playing and writing is instinctual,” adds Jonathan Wilson, a friend and peer who’s advised Styles on backing and session musicians. “He understands history and where to take the torch. You can see the thread of great British performers — from Bolan to Bowie — in his music.”

Also shaping his musical DNA was Manchester itself, the site of a 23,500-seat arena, dubbed Co-op Live, for which Styles is an investor and adviser. Oak View Group, a company specializing in live entertainment and global sports that was founded by Tim Leiweke and Irving Azoff in 2015 (Jeffrey Azoff, Irving’s son, represents Styles at Full Stop Management), is leading the effort to construct the venue. The project gained planning approval in September and is set to open in 2023, with its arrival representing a £350 million ($455 million) investment in the city. (Worth noting: Manchester is already home to an arena — the site of a 2017 bombing outside an Ariana Grande concert — and a football stadium, where One Love Manchester, an all-star benefit show to raise money for victims of the terrorist attack, took place.)

“I went to my first shows in Manchester,” Styles says of concerts paid for with money earned delivering newspapers for a supermarket called the Co-op. “My friends and I would go in on weekends. There’s so many amazing small venues, and music is such a massive part of the city. I think Manchester deserves it. It feels like a full-circle, coming-home thing to be doing this and to be able to give any kind of input. I’m incredibly proud. Hopefully they’ll let me play there at some point.”

Though Styles has owned properties in Los Angeles, his base for the foreseeable future is London. “I feel like my relationship with L.A. has changed a lot,” he explains. “I’ve kind of accepted that I don’t have to live here anymore; for a while I felt like I was supposed to. Like it meant things were going well. This happened, then you move to L.A.! But I don’t really want to.”

Is it any wonder? Between COVID and the turmoil in the U.S. spurred by the presidential election, Styles, like some 79 million American voters, is recovering from sticker shock over the bill of goods sold to them by the concept of democracy. “In general, as people, there’s a lack of empathy,” he observes. “We found this place that’s so divisive. We just don’t listen to each other anymore. And that’s quite scary.”

That belief prompted Styles to speak out publicly in the wake of George Floyd’s death. As protests in support of Black Lives Matter took to streets all over the world, for Styles, it triggered a period of introspection, as marked by an Instagram message (liked by 2.7 million users and counting) in which he declared: “I do things every day without fear, because I am privileged, and I am privileged every day because I am white. … Being not racist is not enough, we must be anti racist. Social change is enacted when a society mobilizes. I stand in solidarity with all of those protesting. I’m donating to help post bail for arrested organizers. Look inwards, educate yourself and others. LISTEN, READ, SHARE, DONATE and VOTE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BLACK LIVES MATTER.”

“Talking about race can be really uncomfortable for everyone,” Styles elaborates. “I had a realization that my own comfort in the conversation has nothing to do with the problem — like that’s not enough of a reason to not have a conversation. Looking back, I don’t think I’ve been outspoken enough in the past. Using that feeling has pushed me forward to being open and ready to learn. … How can I ensure from my side that in 20 years, the right things are still being done and the right people are getting the right opportunities? That it’s not a passing thing?”

His own record company — and corporate parent Sony Music Group, whose chairman, Rob Stringer, signed Styles in 2016 — has been grappling with these same questions as the industry has faced its own reckoning with race. At issue: inequality among the upper ranks (an oft-cited statistic: popular music is 80% Black, but the music business is 80% white); contracts rooted in a decades-old system that many say is set up to take advantage of artists, Black artists more unfairly than white; and the call for a return of master rights, an ownership model that is at the core of the business.

Styles acknowledges the fundamental imbalance in how a major label deal is structured — the record company takes on the financial risk while the artist is made to recoup money spent on the project before the act is considered profitable and earning royalties (typically at a 15% to 18% rate for the artist, while the label keeps and disburses the rest). “Historically, I can’t think of any industry that’s benefited more off of Black culture than music,” he says. “There are discussions that need to happen about this long history of not being paid fairly. It’s a time for listening, and hopefully, people will come out humbled, educated and willing to learn and change.”

By all accounts, Styles is a voracious reader, a movie lover and an aesthete. He stays in shape by adhering to a strict daily exercise routine. “I tried to keep up but didn’t last more than two weeks,” says Hull, Styles’ producer, with a laugh. “The discipline is terrifying.”

Of course, with the fashion world beckoning — Styles recently appeared in a film series for Gucci’s new collection that was co-directed by the fashion house’s creative director, Alessandro Michele, and Oscar winner Gus Van Sant — and a movie that’s set in the 1950s, maintaining that physique is part of the job. And he’s no stranger to visual continuity after appearing in Christopher Nolan’s epic “Dunkirk” and having to return to set for reshoots; his hair, which needed to be cut back to its circa 1940 form, is a constant topic of conversation among fans. This time, it’s the ink that poses a challenge. By Styles’ tally, he’s up to 60 tattoos, which require an hour in the makeup chair to cover up. “It’s the only time I really regret getting tattooed,” he says.

He shows no regret, however, when it comes to stylistic choices overall, and takes pride in his gender-agnostic portfolio, which includes wearing a Gucci dress on that Vogue cover— an image that incited conservative pundit Candace Owens to plead publicly to “bring back manly men.” In Styles’ view: “To not wear [something] because it’s females’ clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes. And I think what’s exciting about right now is you can wear what you like. It doesn’t have to be X or Y. Those lines are becoming more and more blurred.”

But acclaim, if you can believe it, is not top of mind for Styles. As far as the Grammys are concerned, Styles shrugs, “It’s never why I do anything.” His team and longtime label, however, had their hearts set on a showing at the Jan. 31 ceremony. Their investment in Styles has been substantial — not just monetarily but in carefully crafting his career in the wake of such icons as David Bowie, who released his final albums with the label. Hope at the company and in many fans’ hearts that Styles would receive an album of the year nomination did not come to pass. However, he was recognized in three categories, including best pop vocal album.

“It’s always nice to know that people like what you’re doing, but ultimately — and especially working in a subjective field — I don’t put too much weight on that stuff,” Styles says. “I think it’s important when making any kind of art to remove the ego from it.” Citing the painter Matisse, he adds: “It’s about the work that you do when you’re not expecting any applause.”

This is especially true in the U.S., where he’s notched two hit singles, “Adore You,” the second-most-played song at radio in 2020, and “Watermelon Sugar” (No. 22 on Variety’s year-end Hitmakers chart), with a third, “Golden,” already cresting the top 20 on the pop format. The massive cross-platform success of these songs means Styles has finally and decisively broken into the American market, maneuvering its web of gatekeepers to accumulate 6.2 million consumption units and rising.

Why do these particular songs resonate in 2020? Styles doesn’t have the faintest idea. While he acknowledges a “nursery rhyme” feel to “Watermelon Sugar” with its earwormy loop of a chorus, that’s about as much insight as he can offer. His longtime collaborator and friend Tom Hull, also known as the producer Kid Harpoon, offers this take: “There’s a lot of amazing things about that song, but what really stands out is the lyric. It’s not trying to hide or be clever. The simplicity of watermelon … there’s such a joy in it, [which] is a massive part of that song’s success.” Also, his kids love it. “I’ve never had a song connect with children in this way,” says Hull, whose credits include tunes by Shawn Mendes, Florence and the Machine and Calvin Harris. “I get sent videos all the time from friends of their kids singing. I have a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old, and they listen to it.”

Styles is quick to note that he doesn’t chase pop appeal when crafting songs. In fact, the times when he pondered or approved a purposeful tweak, like on his self-titled 2017 debut, still gnaw at him. “I love that album so much because it represents such a time in my life, but when I listen to it — sonically and lyrically, especially — I can hear places where I was playing it safe,” he says. “I was scared to get it wrong.”

Contemporary effects and on-trend beats hardly factor into Styles’ decision-making. He likes to focus on feelings — his own and his followers’ — and see himself on the other side of the velvet rope, an important distinction in his view. “People within [the industry] feel like they operate on a higher level of listening, and I like to make music from the point of being a fan of music,” Styles says. “Fans are the best A&R.”

This from someone who’s had free rein to pursue every musical whim, and hand in the album of his dreams in the form of “Fine Line.” Chart success makes it all the sweeter, but Styles insists that writing “for the right reasons” supersedes any commercial considerations. “There’s no part that feels, eh, icky — like it was made in the lab,” he says.

Styles has experience in this realm. As a graduate of the U.K. competition series “The X Factor,” where he and four other auditionees — Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson — were singled out by show creator and star judge Simon Cowell to conjoin as One Direction, he’s seen how the prefab pop machine works up close. The One Direction oeuvre, which counts some 42 million albums sold worldwide, includes songs written with such established hitmakers as Ryan Tedder, Savan Kotecha and Teddy Geiger. Being a studious, insatiable observer, Styles took it all in.

“I learned so much,” he says of the experience. “When we were in the band, I used to try and write with as many different people as I could. I wanted to practice — and I wrote a lot of bad shit.”

His bandmates also benefited from the pop star boot camp. The proof is in the relatively seamless solo transitions of at least three of its members — Payne, Malik and Horan in addition to Styles — each of whom has landed hit singles on charts in the U.K., the U.S. and beyond.

This departs from the typical trajectories of boy bands including New Kids on the Block and ’N Sync, which have all pro ered a star frontman. The thinking for decades was that a record company would be lucky to have one breakout solo career among the bunch.

Styles has plainly thought about this.

“When you look at the history of people coming out of bands and starting solo careers, they feel this need to apologize for being in the band. ‘Don’t worry, everyone, that wasn’t me! Now I get to do what I really want to do.’ But we loved being in the band,” he says. “I think there’s a wont to pit people against each other. And I think it’s never been about that for us. It’s about a next step in evolution. The fact that we’ve all achieved different things outside of the band says a lot about how hard we worked in it.”

Indeed, during the five-ish years that One Direction existed, Styles’ schedule involved the sort of nonstop international jet-setting that few get to see in a lifetime, never mind their teenage years. Between 2011 and 2015, One Direction’s tours pulled in north of $631 million in gross ticket sales, according to concert trade Pollstar, and the band was selling out stadiums worldwide by the time it entered its extended hiatus. Styles, too, had built up to playing arenas as a solo artist, engaging audiences with his colorful stage wear and banter and left-of-center choices for opening acts (a pre-Grammy-haul Kacey Musgraves in 2018; indie darlings King Princess and Jenny Lewis for his rescheduled 2021 run).

Stages of all sizes feel like home to Styles. He grew up in a suburb of Manchester, ground zero for some of the biggest British acts of the 1980s and ’90s, including Joy Division, New Order, the Smiths and Oasis, the latter of which broke the same year Styles was born. His parents were also music lovers. Styles’ father fed him a balanced diet of the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones and Queen, while Mum was a fan of Shania Twain, Norah Jones and Savage Garden. “They’re all great melody writers,” says Styles of the acts’ musical throughline.

Stevie Nicks, who in the past has described “Fine Line” as Styles’ “Rumours,” referencing the Fleetwood Mac 1977 classic, sees him as a kindred spirit. “Harry writes and sings his songs about real experiences that seemingly happened yesterday,” she tells Variety. “He taps into real life. He doesn’t make up stories. He tells the truth, and that is what I do. ‘Fine Line’ has been my favorite record since it came out. It is his ‘Rumours.’ I told him that in a note on December 13, 2019 before he went on stage to play the ‘Fine Line’ album at the Forum. We cried. He sang those songs like he had sung them a thousand times. That’s a great songwriter and a great performer.”

“Harry’s playing and writing is instinctual,” adds Jonathan Wilson, a friend and peer who’s advised Styles on backing and session musicians. “He understands history and where to take the torch. You can see the thread of great British performers — from Bolan to Bowie — in his music.”

Also shaping his musical DNA was Manchester itself, the site of a 23,500-seat arena, dubbed Co-op Live, for which Styles is an investor and adviser. Oak View Group, a company specializing in live entertainment and global sports that was founded by Tim Leiweke and Irving Azoff in 2015 (Jeffrey Azoff, Irving’s son, represents Styles at Full Stop Management), is leading the effort to construct the venue. The project gained planning approval in September and is set to open in 2023, with its arrival representing a £350 million ($455 million) investment in the city. (Worth noting: Manchester is already home to an arena — the site of a 2017 bombing outside an Ariana Grande concert — and a football stadium, where One Love Manchester, an all-star benefit show to raise money for victims of the terrorist attack, took place.)

“I went to my first shows in Manchester,” Styles says of concerts paid for with money earned delivering newspapers for a supermarket called the Co-op. “My friends and I would go in on weekends. There’s so many amazing small venues, and music is such a massive part of the city. I think Manchester deserves it. It feels like a full-circle, coming-home thing to be doing this and to be able to give any kind of input. I’m incredibly proud. Hopefully they’ll let me play there at some point.”

Though Styles has owned properties in Los Angeles, his base for the foreseeable future is London. “I feel like my relationship with L.A. has changed a lot,” he explains. “I’ve kind of accepted that I don’t have to live here anymore; for a while I felt like I was supposed to. Like it meant things were going well. This happened, then you move to L.A.! But I don’t really want to.”

Is it any wonder? Between COVID and the turmoil in the U.S. spurred by the presidential election, Styles, like some 79 million American voters, is recovering from sticker shock over the bill of goods sold to them by the concept of democracy. “In general, as people, there’s a lack of empathy,” he observes. “We found this place that’s so divisive. We just don’t listen to each other anymore. And that’s quite scary.”

That belief prompted Styles to speak out publicly in the wake of George Floyd’s death. As protests in support of Black Lives Matter took to streets all over the world, for Styles, it triggered a period of introspection, as marked by an Instagram message (liked by 2.7 million users and counting) in which he declared: “I do things every day without fear, because I am privileged, and I am privileged every day because I am white. … Being not racist is not enough, we must be anti racist. Social change is enacted when a society mobilizes. I stand in solidarity with all of those protesting. I’m donating to help post bail for arrested organizers. Look inwards, educate yourself and others. LISTEN, READ, SHARE, DONATE and VOTE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BLACK LIVES MATTER.”

“Talking about race can be really uncomfortable for everyone,” Styles elaborates. “I had a realization that my own comfort in the conversation has nothing to do with the problem — like that’s not enough of a reason to not have a conversation. Looking back, I don’t think I’ve been outspoken enough in the past. Using that feeling has pushed me forward to being open and ready to learn. … How can I ensure from my side that in 20 years, the right things are still being done and the right people are getting the right opportunities? That it’s not a passing thing?”

His own record company — and corporate parent Sony Music Group, whose chairman, Rob Stringer, signed Styles in 2016 — has been grappling with these same questions as the industry has faced its own reckoning with race. At issue: inequality among the upper ranks (an oft-cited statistic: popular music is 80% Black, but the music business is 80% white); contracts rooted in a decades-old system that many say is set up to take advantage of artists, Black artists more unfairly than white; and the call for a return of master rights, an ownership model that is at the core of the business.

Styles acknowledges the fundamental imbalance in how a major label deal is structured — the record company takes on the financial risk while the artist is made to recoup money spent on the project before the act is considered profitable and earning royalties (typically at a 15% to 18% rate for the artist, while the label keeps and disburses the rest). “Historically, I can’t think of any industry that’s benefited more off of Black culture than music,” he says. “There are discussions that need to happen about this long history of not being paid fairly. It’s a time for listening, and hopefully, people will come out humbled, educated and willing to learn and change.”

By all accounts, Styles is a voracious reader, a movie lover and an aesthete. He stays in shape by adhering to a strict daily exercise routine. “I tried to keep up but didn’t last more than two weeks,” says Hull, Styles’ producer, with a laugh. “The discipline is terrifying.”

Of course, with the fashion world beckoning — Styles recently appeared in a film series for Gucci’s new collection that was co-directed by the fashion house’s creative director, Alessandro Michele, and Oscar winner Gus Van Sant — and a movie that’s set in the 1950s, maintaining that physique is part of the job. And he’s no stranger to visual continuity after appearing in Christopher Nolan’s epic “Dunkirk” and having to return to set for reshoots; his hair, which needed to be cut back to its circa 1940 form, is a constant topic of conversation among fans. This time, it’s the ink that poses a challenge. By Styles’ tally, he’s up to 60 tattoos, which require an hour in the makeup chair to cover up. “It’s the only time I really regret getting tattooed,” he says.

He shows no regret, however, when it comes to stylistic choices overall, and takes pride in his gender-agnostic portfolio, which includes wearing a Gucci dress on that Vogue cover— an image that incited conservative pundit Candace Owens to plead publicly to “bring back manly men.” In Styles’ view: “To not wear [something] because it’s females’ clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes. And I think what’s exciting about right now is you can wear what you like. It doesn’t have to be X or Y. Those lines are becoming more and more blurred.”

But acclaim, if you can believe it, is not top of mind for Styles. As far as the Grammys are concerned, Styles shrugs, “It’s never why I do anything.” His team and longtime label, however, had their hearts set on a showing at the Jan. 31 ceremony. Their investment in Styles has been substantial — not just monetarily but in carefully crafting his career in the wake of such icons as David Bowie, who released his final albums with the label. Hope at the company and in many fans’ hearts that Styles would receive an album of the year nomination did not come to pass. However, he was recognized in three categories, including best pop vocal album.

“It’s always nice to know that people like what you’re doing, but ultimately — and especially working in a subjective field — I don’t put too much weight on that stuff,” Styles says. “I think it’s important when making any kind of art to remove the ego from it.” Citing the painter Matisse, he adds: “It’s about the work that you do when you’re not expecting any applause.”

Seeing the light - task 1 - inspiration

Portraiture equipment & techniques

For a modern day professional portrait, three point lighting will be a typical setup as it gives a rounded exposure of the subject with a nice array of highlights and shadows balanced evenly. Three point lighting typically includes one key light (main light source), one fill light (opposite to key light, balances shadows) and one rim light which sits behind the subject and helps separate the torso from the background by adding a rim of highlight. 

In flash photography you can decrease F stops on the light to increase shadows in the image and have much more dramatic lighting, to the point where you can illuminate only half of a face and leave the rest in shadow (low key). Alternatively you can increase F stops and make a high key portrait, full of whites and highlights.

High key vs low key:

Depending on whether your subject has an interesting background behind them, in an environmental portrait for example, you can increase or decrease your aperture to incorporate more or less of it.  

Environmental portrait:

Shutter speed also plays a big part. You generally want to make sure your subject is in focus unless it’s a particular action shot like someone playing sports, and capturing that movement would make the image more dramatic. A higher shutter speed will keep the subject sharp and in focus whereas a slower one will include that movement and blurriness.

Fast shutter speed:

Slow shutter speed:

Historical figures in photographic portraiture

George Hurrell (1904-1992) was a portrait photographer born in Kentucky, United States. He grew up in Ohio and went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago, at first only using photography to take pictures of his paintings. 

He lived at a ‘painting colony’ in California, where ironically he started to prefer photography. He took some photos of actress Norma Shearer that became very popular, and gradually worked his way into photographing more Hollywood stars at the time, including Marilyn Monroe.

Another historical figure in portrait photography would be James Van Der Zee (1886-1983). James grew up in Massachusetts and became famous for photographing black New Yorkers, especially during the Harlem Renaissance era. He produced fantastic documentation of the era. He was also a professional violinist.

“During the 1920s and 1930s, he produced hundreds of photographs recording Harlem's growing middle class. Its residents entrusted the visual documentation of their weddings, funerals, celebrities and sports stars, and social life to his carefully composed images.[3] Quickly Van Der Zee became the most successful photographer in Harlem. Among his many renowned subjects were poet Countee Cullen, dancer Bill ("Bojangles") Robinson, Charles M. "Daddy" Grace, Joe Louis, Florence Mills, and black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey.”

The drawback is that the individuals who need a more full or increasingly emotional look should apply a few coats, and in light of the fact that it pauses for a moment or so to dry, that adds time to your everyday practice. The exchange off is delicate, common looking lashes that stay full throughout the day, remaining consistent with its case.

Since it's twofold sided, this mascara in fact requires two swipes least—but since of its effect,florence residences balance unit you won't need more than that. The bristled wands are long and thin, which makes them simple to employ. In addition, they hold enough recipe to take care of business the first run through, without clustering.

The initial step recipe is a preliminary that is imbued with Ceramide R and D-Panthenol—fixings that guarantee to secure and fortify lashes, while the second-step equation (the real mascara) vows to extend. The two-advance procedure certainly adds length to lashes, yet applying two equations causes lashes to feel a piece crunchy when they dry—something that irritated me a piece.

This longest-enduring mascara is precarious to apply however has amazing resilience. The plastic wand isn't exceptionally natural to utilize—it's kind of a bow moon shape, with longer fibers on the top and shorter ones on the base. Along these lines, there's very an expectation to absorb information, and it takes some accuracy and tolerance from the start. (I'm as yet not 100 percent sure I'm doing it right!)

Regardless of that, there's sufficient recipe on the wand to leave your lashes looking cleaned at one swipe. The difficulty is most will hunger for that second swipe for an increasingly characterized look. Furthermore, on the grounds that this mascara was one of the slowest to dry, that will cost you time.

This reasonable item has all the makings of the best mascara—it goes on smooth and doesn't bunch; it fans lashes pleasantly, and it has extraordinary inclusion on the principal swipe. The main observable disadvantage during application is the way that recipe adheres to the tip of the wand, making it simple to smear the edges of your tops with cosmetics.

Be that as it may, with a little exactness, I was exceptionally content with the outcomes. I thought about whether this could be a solid contender, however this mascara plunged in rankings since it simply didn't last the manner in which different equations did—it was the main mascara that chipped recognizably for the duration of the day.

This rose-hued tube is broadly known as a trick for the clique most loved Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced, yet it's very little in excess of a pretty cylinder in the event that you ask me. The hourglass brush is fairly fat and is joined to a short wand, so swiping doesn't feel easy and common, and in light of the fact that the equation is thick, lashes bunch and tangle during application. Along these lines, it's enticing to apply more covers to even things out—yet this compounds the issue, increments drying time, and makes a hardened on feel that disturbed me for the duration of the day. This was likewise one of the main equations to drop occasionally for the duration of the day, likely in light of the fact that I had applied such a great amount of recipe to my lashes. Notwithstanding that, this mascara was amazingly hard to expel. In the wake of washing my face, utilizing cosmetics remover, and washing my face again in the first part of the day, I despite everything saw some buildup.

How can we find the Best Storm Glass Barometer Suppliers Online in USA?

Last century, before sealed roads linked North West Australia to areas of population, dusty dirt roads were employed by mining exploration companies, which skilled huge station properties where underground water sustained a thriving cattle industry. one among the favoured tales told in those days was about how flocks of white cockatoos, sensing that rain was coming to their area, became very excited, flying about during a frenzy of screeching excitement. In some arid areas it's going to are overflow a year since rain had fallen, but those birds always appeared to know days beforehand, that a rare storm was approaching. Some biological mechanism had been triggered that 20th Century science was unable to elucidate.

Admiral Robert Fitzroy, during Charles Darwin's Voyage on HMS Beagle, had concocted a mix of chemicals, which he had sealed inside glass jars called storm glasses. In 1859 British Crown issued them to several fishing villages throughout Britain. Captains of ships at port were to read them before getting to sea. The formation of crystals, cloudy fluids, thread like formations, spotting or star clots, indicated future weather. Because the jars were sealed the science of their day couldn't explain how they functioned.

The Molecule of Emotion, discovered by Dr Candace Pert in 1972, is now considered an expression of fractal logic and provides explanations on why the flocks of cockatoos reacted to the approaching arrival of flooding rains. Within this scientific world-view, the association of infinite fractal purpose, although an accepted logic, can't be related to any organic process. Einstein's Premier Law of all of Science, the universal heat death law, forbids it. All evolutionary processes are understood to steer to the entire heat death extinction of life and can't be a part of any infinite fractal process.

The properties of Carbon 70, which functions beyond the entropic limitation of Einstein's world-view, are discovered and are inspiring new concepts of ethical quantum biological energy technology under the guidance of the new Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry. Fullerene Chemistry has been established by the three 1996 Nobel Laureates in chemistry and is basic to their new medical institute called C 60 Inc., suggesting that Carbon 70 is additionally relevant to a life science, as is usually recommended herein. The term 'ethical' arises from the Platonic Science for Ethical Ends, from which Fuller derived his synergistic theories, which balanced Einstein's entropic world-view, as did also Sir Isaac Newton's unpublished papers discovered last century.

In Australia the governmental understanding of the way carbon functions is so confused that Australian voters are often seen to be close to bring down this government over issues that appear to several to belong to a world debt enforcement global rationalism. the utilization of Kantian Aesthetics to take care of an ethical Jurisprudence Law to somehow depict perpetual economic process and development is illogical. Only fractal logic can possibly be wont to develop such a line of reasoning which logic belongs to Kantian fractal logic electromagnetic Ethics, banished from science thanks to its pagan origins within the Platonic Science for Ethical Ends. If Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry were to obviously demonstrate the principles upon which Admiral Fitzroy Storm Glass Online was enabled to forecast the weather, the entropic logic of worldwide economic rationalism couldn't possibly grasp them.

Homo Entropic us, by scientific definition, can only cause an acceleration of the chaos related to the extinction process. it's a shocking thought that those attacking the logic of the prevailing entropic death sentence mentality, could be the confused unethical thugs who seem to seek out some got to run amok in our urban environment. the purpose which may got to be examined is, is it possible that we'd like to realize an understanding of what Plato's engineering ethics of a spiritual reality are all about, now that Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry is presenting them because the basis of a replacement holographic environmental science?
