I have gotten a Blahaj help me decide on a name

[korshrimpski]

Since F1 suck at doing their job I might as well do it for them

May I present: F1 STORYLINES THAT THE PEOPLE (me) ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT

Ferrari: Leclerc vs Sainz

It is no secret that Carlos Sainz is out of a seat for 2025, and this will be his last year with the Scuderia many people are wondering how this 2024 season will pan out. Before the season starts many fans are already questioning what will happen. Will there be inner-team rivalry? Will Sainz ignore team orders? Will Leclerc be favoured (more than he usually is) and will Carlos be left on the waste side? We will have to wait to find out.

Mercedes: Hamilton vs Russell

Now we have the reason Sainz does not have a seat for 2025. In a shocking turn of events Lewis Hamilton is moving from Mercedes to Ferrari at the end of the 2024 season. This has left many fans excited but also questioning what will happen on track between the 2 teammates that have already come to blows last season. The main question on everyone’s mind is, “who will be favourited?” The man that won 6 championships with the German outfit or the man who is touted as the future of Mercedes.

Will the other teams catch up?

It is no secret that Red Bull dominated the 2023 season. And all the teams especially Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes are now playing catch up. But will they even catch up? All the teams reference is the RB19 and not the RB20 that Red Bull spent last year developing. So will the RB20 be better than the RB19 and if so will teams catch up for the 2024 season (I hope the other teams catch up)

McLaren: Norris vs Piastri

Piastri had a rockstar rookie season getting two podiums and a sprint win. That has undoubtedly put pressure on Norris to perform. And of course Norris will be favoured but Piastri will only improve from the 2023 season. So McLaren will need to monitor both drivers and make sure they don’t come to blows on track.

The Back of the grid

Toro Rosso (RB), Sauder (Kick), Williams and HAAS made up the back of the grid last year. And many people are curious if any of them will improve. People expect Toro Rosso to improve as they are taking heavy inspiration from their sister team, Red Bull. But many people want to see where all these teams will finish at the end of the year.

The Red Bull Dilemma

Everybody knows Red Bull like revolving through driver. And this year will be no different. With Perez’ arse on the line and having to perform, at any moment Red Bull can take away his seat and give it to someone else. But who is in contention for that second Red Bull seat? Both Toro Rosso drivers are in contention, with both drivers also racing to stay in Formula 1, as Liam Lawson came in for 5 races (replacing an injured Ricciardo) and lit up the grid, and was promised a seat for 2025. But there are also outsiders who have been rumoured for that second Red Bull seat, with Alex Albon, Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris all rumoured.

Who’s going to get that second Mercedes seat?

There are a lot of people available for that second Mercedes seat in 2025; some of the people in contention are:

Alex Albon

Fernando Alonso

Carlos Sainz

Esteban Ocon

How is Fredrick Vesti not in this conversation?

Kimi Antonelli

It would not surprise me at all if Toto Wolff throws Mick Schumacher in the car

Doriane Pin (in another universe aka my ideal universe)

Will Lance Stroll have a seat in 2025?

Lance Stroll did not have a spectacular 2024 season with many people wanting him out of that Aston Martin seat and Felipe Drugovich to get the seat. But Lawrence Stroll owns Aston Martin so Lance can’t loose his seat. But wait theirs more to the story (😱) Aramco (Saudi Oiler Company) now own a stake in Aston Martin and if Lance Stroll doesn’t improve Aramco might have to force Lawance Strolls hand and kick Lance out.

Spencer Tracy and Joan Crawford in Mannequin (Frank Borzage, 1937) Cast: Joan Crawford, Spencer Tracy, Alan Curtis, Ralph Morgan, Mary Philips, Oscar O'Shea, Elisabeth Risdon, Leo Gorcey. Screenplay: Lawrence Hazard, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, based on a story by Katharine Brush. Cinematography: George J. Folsey. Art direction: Cedric Gibbons. Film editing: Fredrick Y. Smith. Costume design: Adrian. Music: Edward Ward Joan Crawford in her MGM prime, tough but slinky, convincing as the factory girl trudging up the stairs to the Hester Street flat she shares with her family, but also as the chorus girl, the high-fashion model, the fur-bedecked millionaire's wife. Mannequin is a very talky melodrama, but one with a kind of reassuring confidence about what it's doing, helped along by Crawford's skill and commitment as an actress. She never does anything by rote. The screenplay is by Lawrence Hazard, but anyone who knows the work of the film's producer, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, as a screenwriter can sense the uncredited contribution of the writer-director of A Letter to Three Wives (1949) and All About Eve (1950). Not that Mannequin is up to the standard of those films, but that someone connected to all three movies knows that smart talk can bring a film to life. Frank Borzage, who had won Oscars for directing the "women's pictures" 7th Heaven (1927) and Bad Girl (1931), had just the right touch for this movie. It somehow manages to overcome a lack of chemistry between its leads, Crawford and Spencer Tracy, who didn't hit it off -- she later accused him of stepping on her feet when they were dancing together and of chewing garlic before their love scenes, in addition to his typical "bad drunk" behavior -- and never worked together again. There is, however, a good performance by Alan Curtis as her sleazy first husband, a would-be fight promoter who comes up with the scheme that she should divorce him to marry Tracy's millionaire shipping magnate, then soak him of his millions. And Oscar O'Shea as her ne'er-do-well father, Elisabeth Risdon as her doormat mother, and a terrific Leo Gorcey as her wise-ass brother all make it clear that Crawford's character has no way to go but up.

The names of top 10 people in your line of succession are thrown into a hat. The name drawn will be the next monarch. Who do you hope it will be and why?

Hello! The current line:

Prince Charles, Duke of Richmond

Prince Robert

Princess Margaret

Princess Amelia, Duchess of Kent

Prince Arthur (son of Princess Amelia)

Lord Gregory Atherton (son of Prince Arthur)

Lord Lawrence Atherton (son of Prince Arthur)

Prince Frederick (Son of Princess Amelia)

Son of Prince Fredrick

Daughter of Prince Frederick

So most of this list people who no one knows! lol I would hope it would be Robert tbh I think he would make a great King, he is kind and compassionate (Everything his father thinks would make a terrible King!)

My non serious answer would be one of Princess Amelia's sons - totally change up the branch on the family where the crown sits and who knows what would happen!! There is definitely something interesting to me in someone being thrust into being monarch unexpectedly.

“True Bills Against, Stimson House Heads,” Brantford Expositor. April 22, 1931. Page 15. --- TORONTO, April 22. (By the Canadian Press) - The grand jury Tuesday returned true bills against Fredrick G. Johnston, Lawrence E. Clarke and H. H. Thomas on charges of conspiracy to defraud, arising from their association with the now defunct investment house of G. A. Stimson and company and its subsidiaries. A separate bill was returned against Johnston, former president of the company, charging five cases of theft.

[zevveli]

Reason under cut:

Here's the thing, in Westeros the law of succession follows "Male Preference Primogen" meaning that when a ruler has multiple children the title passes first through all his sons and THEN to his daughters. So for example, we have King Allen, he has four children from oldest to youngest they are Princess Barbara, Prince Charlie, Prince Daniel, and Princess Emily. Then there is King Allen's younger Brother Prince Frederick, and his older sister Princess Georgia. Fredrick has three children, Princess Helen, Princess Isabelle, and Prince Jacob. Georgia has two children Princess Kathleen and Prince Lawrence. The line of succession is as follows:

Prince Charlie, Eldest son of King Allen.

Prince Daniel, Second son of King Allen.

Princess Barbara, Eldest Daughter of King Allen.

Princess Emily, Second Daughter of King Allen.

Prince Frederick, Brother of King Allen.

Prince Jacob, Son of Prince Frederick.

Princess Helen, Eldest Daughter of Prince Frederick.

Princess Isabelle, Youngest Daughter of Prince Frederick.

Princess Georgia, Older Brother of King Allen and Prince Frederick.

Prince Lawrence, Son of Princess Georgia.

Princess Kathleen, Daughter of Princess Georgia.

Bastards are not included in the line of succession unless formally recognized and even then only after their legitimate siblings if assigned by the King, far more likely they would be given a title and name and made a vassal house for one of their descendants to marry back into the line of succession.

So by this logic Daenerys has the most legitimate claim on the throne by rights of lineage. John Snow and Tyrion Lannister have no claim because neither of them are Recognized Bastards of the Targaryen line (John is a Recognized Bastard of Ned Stark, Tyrion Lannister is recognized as a trueborn son of house Lannister. The truth of their lineage which has not been confirmed in the books yet is irrelevant unless the lineage records are updated.)

Now, that being said: Stannis does have a potentially legitimate claim to the throne. Stannis has a claim because since he is the brother of Robert Baratheon who held the throne by right of conquest. Now officially through the records he is behind Robert's three official children, even though we know that none of them are actually his and Robert died with no recognized children.

The question is specifically for the book only.

The question is not "who deserves the Iron Throne?" or "who would be the best ruler?"

Feel free to (politely) explain your reasoning in the comments and/or tags!

Nov. 20, 2022Difficult GraceNYT Critic's Pick

The cellist Seth Parker Woods presented an evening-long, multimedia program titled “Difficult Grace” Saturday evening at the 92nd Street Y’s Kaufmann Concert Hall. It was the full staging’s world premiere, but, as Woods remarked, he had premiered a “nucleus version” in February 2020 in Seattle; the coronavirus lockdown gave him the opportunity to rework his concept into its current form.

Woods was already a cellist of prodigious technical gifts and sharp intellect. This program has stretched him even further into performing as a spoken word artist and singer as well as instrumentalist.

Aided by the choreographer and dancer Roderick George — a childhood friend from Houston — “Difficult Grace” was a feast for the ears, eyes and mind.

In one portion of Freida Abtan’s “My Heart Is a River,” the audience sees a prerecorded video projection of two dancers as Woods plays live in front of the screen. The dancing figures straddle a cello that they are reimagining as a boat. The performer in front — actually Woods himself, with dancer Tamzin O’Garro behind — is wielding the cello bow as an oar. It’s a marvelously apt metaphor: Woods is an artist rooted in classical music, but whose cello is a vehicle that takes him, and his concertgoers, on wide-ranging journeys.

The program included works by a large roster of composers, many of whom used electronic sound design as well as live acoustic cello: Fredrick Gifford, Monty Adkins, Nathalie Joachim, Abtan, Ted Hearne, Devonté Hynes and Pierre Alexandre Tremblay. (In addition to Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, who died in 2004.)

Gifford’s piece “Difficult Grace,” which lent its name to the entire program, included projected artwork by Barbara Earl Thomas and was inspired by Dudley Randall’s poetry. Regrettably, it was difficult to discern from the auditorium seats much of what Woods was saying during long spoken-word stretches. (Projected supertitles would be a welcome addition.) The same was true during Hearne’s work with an unprintable title, with texts by the poet Kemi Alabi. Within the most riveting section of Hearne’s piece, Woods sang and played R&B-flavored harmonies atop hip hop-inspired electronic beats.

Each composer who used prerecorded cello and electronic sound design, sometimes with on-the-spot manipulations, did so to very different aesthetic ends. Woods performed two movements from Abtan’s piece (“Opening Out” and “Seeping In”), in which the electronics and the live cello swirled around each other in haunting, echoing duets. Adkins’s gentle, cinematographic “Winter Tendrils,’‘ accompanied by an equally warmhearted film by Zoë McLean, used electronics almost like an invisible string orchestra, framing Woods’s cello in lush, glowing harmonies.

The most overtly narrative work was Nathalie Joachim’s “The Race: 1915,” which used projected images from the artist Jacob Lawrence’s “Migration Series” and texts taken from The Chicago Defender, the Black newspaper that was founded in 1905 and urged Black Americans to move northward in what became the Great Migration. Joachim’s music alternated between busy, cyclical motion and periods of meditative, slow arcs.

The most traditionally “classical” piece during the evening was a technically demanding cello sonata written by Devonté Hynes, whom certain music-loving New Yorkers may recall from his recent stint opening for Harry Styles at Madison Square Garden.

The other fully acoustic work was the third movement from Perkinson’s “Lamentations: Black/Folk Song Suite for Solo Cello,” entitled “Calvary Ostinato.” Perkinson’s music evoked centuries of Black American music, between lavish pizzicato sections which called to mind the connections between the American banjo and West African plucked string instruments and bluesy slides from note to note.

The evening ended with a powerful duet between Woods and George dancing live onstage in Tremblay’s “asinglewordisnotenough 3 [invariant].” It’s a piece that crackles with nervous, coiled energy. Woods often attacked his strings with furious intensity, while George’s dancing combined solid muscularity and sinuous movements. Somehow, all of these emotional currents found a home inside Tremblay’s score.

Difficult Grace

Performed on Saturday at Kaufmann Concert Hall, Manhattan.

[ad_1] John Philip Holland’s brilliance transcended distance — and depth. Widely proclaimed "the father of the modern submarine," Holland was born in Ireland and moved to the United States as a young man with the audacious idea of building a "submergible torpedo boat" that could fight silently beneath the waves. He succeeded in remaking maritime history despite no formal mechanical, engineering or military training. "He was a brilliant and instinctive engineer," Holland biographer Lawrence Goldstone told Fox News Digital.MEET THE AMERICAN WHO INVENTED THE FOLDING BEACH CHAIR, FREDRICK ARNOLD, WWII HERO, INNOVATOR, ARTIST, ACTORGoldstone chronicled Holland’s unfathomable story in his 2017 book, "Going Deep: John Philip Holland and The Invention of the Attack Submarine.""He figured out how to use the principals of undersea navigation to create a weapon that totally changed naval warfare," said Goldstone.

Violet blushed intensely and backs away from Fredrick, obviously very embarrassed. "...Y-yes, sir..." She sits down in another chair, staying very silent, realizing that she shouldn't have said anything at all about it. Her embarrassment is very intense, but she just sits there. She takes a breath to say something, but just looks down at her feet. "Ugh... I'm sorry." She buries her nonexistent face in her hands and let's out a long sigh. Dear Lord, WHY did she say that...

Fredrick has drawn puzzled/furrowed brows on his casing. "...Kid ya got some serious problems, its fine but ya need to uh read the room okay? i aint someone to be talkin about that with." he rubbed his neck and laid his head on his desk sighin. he mumbled softly "I need a fuckin' smoke". he didn't have answers nor ways to put shit to words all he knows is uncomf. "ya want a stress ball kid?" fredrick sat up and offered a squishy ball "its one of those uh knead balls, i got 50 of 'em"
