opinions on every Marina album

the family jewels: near perfect album. sonically interesting, lyrically biting, thematically and emotionally hits like a truck, i will say hand on heart that i'm biased because it's a tracklist built from the ground up for the desperately ambitious and desperately sad girlies (and those whose taste in fictional characters aligns with that... the family jewels carries my all marina tbosas fanmix) but i don't care. my personal favourite marina album and imo her strongest in general

electra heart: completely understand why it had tumblr in a chokehold, brilliantly done as a concept album in terms of visual and sonic cohesion throughout. doesn't have the same emotional impact as tfj to me but that's largely because my problems are tfj problems and not electra heart problems. my biggest problem with it as a finished product is that so many of its best songs (how to be a heartbreaker. radioactive. buy the stars. sex yeah. EVOL...) are relegated to bonus tracks. if i was curating that tracklist i'd honestly ditch some of the tracks that get a little bit samey in the back half of the album (valley of the dolls... living dead....) and let the excellent bonus tracks get the spotlight instead. if this had been released in 2024 i'd call it a marketing tactic to get stans to collect all the variants and get electra heart to #1 but sadly it was 2012 so i just have to assume questionable album curation decisions

froot: drop "gold" and "can't pin me down" and it's an excellent album. not quite up there with her first two as an overall product but contains some of my all time favourite marina tracks (blue is an absolute ALL TIME great marina song for me. also gotta shout out my main man "forget" which got me THROUGH baby's first major mental health spiral back when it came out and i was a fresh faced 18 year old wrecking my friendships through rejection sensitive dysphoria). plus froot of the month is one of my favourite rollout tactics ever. only time i've not complained about excessive pre-album release singles

love + fear: if this was an album by any other pop girlie i'd be totally fine with it. the songs are not bad. but it just lacks everything that makes a marina album for me. just not weird enough! for example: i think "orange trees" is a cute summer bop, almost put it on my summer playlist for this year, but every time i remember it's a marina song i just feel almost disappointed like girl you're better than this. you're weirder than this. come on. whereas if this was - and i'm sorry in advance bc this sounds far more backhanded than it actually is - say, a bebe rexha track. a pre-hyperpop camila cabello track, perhaps. i'd think yeah this is a great pop song. it's just disappointing from an artist i associate with more left field choices and for that reason i just can't get behind it. the one exception is "baby" which is really more of a clean bandit song anyway, which i think is why i can forgive its lack of personality. specifically the luca schreiner remix is a longstanding member of my "feeling hot before a night out" playlist

ancient dreams in a modern land: in some songs she is literally right back to family jewels form. venus fly trap - up there with my all time favourite marina songs. fucking obsessed with it. i think the title track is great too, enjoy "goodbye" as a more froot-style track, "i love you but i love me more" as a kind of post-electra heart cut. i even enjoy a bit of man's world from time to time mainly for the strawberry soda lyric which immediately made me sit up and go "okay, gender" upon my first listen. however in other places... absolute fucking lyrical stinkers. i would love to call this a good album but i just cannot even begin to forgive the existence of purge the poison

Lol at the idea of commissioning Pariah to do the writing, (who incidentally also used to be in those dismal leftie fb groups years ago) if Salomé didn’t exist we would have to invent them. I confess I’ve never been completely convinced by either the left-libs freaking out about Lana as conservative chanteuse or the far right seeing in her a harbinger of some kind of youthful populist-reactionary turn. She reminds me of a kind of girl (and guy, although there were way less of them) I remember from high school who wanted to be counterculture, but didn’t do politics and wasn’t really interested in pissing off their parents in any way other than the normal way that all teenagers invariably do just by being teenagers.* Yeah there was a conservative leaning there, and even a bit of racism, but I think it was mostly a mix of aesthetics and cultural inertia- America is after all an ambiently conservative nation. It seems very odd to me that that type of person ever got radicalized enough to start throwing around the race science stuff the way Anna and Dasha did, but then they’re probably hardly representative specimens, and my memories of that type are all from before left-activist rhetoric became so completely inescapable during the Trump era

*A part of me is tempted to say that this is on a slightly higher register the role Paglia fulfills as well (this is the purpose of Camille) I’m sure the context of the original quote is nonsense, but I’ve always thought (I think?) Naomi Wolff was onto something when she described her as Phyllis Schlafy for the nipple-pierced set. There’s something of the sense while you’re actually reading or listening that this is some hot, revolutionary, stuff but then if you actually think about it you’re circuitously being persuaded via decadent aesthetics to have your parents or grandparents sexual/racial etc mores (this is not entirely serious and I know I’m doing injury to her program by describing this way, but I think it’s also the appeal of her aside from the imperious declaration of this and that.)

I think Oscar Wilde invented Salomé. I discovered her more recently, find a leftist phase hard to imagine.

Back in the '90s and early '00s, the religious right had enough power to allow the counterculture to be a broad political anti-church that included secular libertarians (e.g., Kurt Loder and Kennedy on MTV) or libertarian-ish figures like Paglia. As long as you weren't a Bible-thumper, nobody asked you what you thought about taxes. "Fiscally conservative, socially liberal" was like "I listen to everything but rap and country." Things were just politicized in a different way than they are now. I don't think everybody should have to be deeply politically engaged.

The racial thing with Anna and Dasha is because they're children of immigrants. (I'm allowed to say this because I'm one too.) I don't say "white" immigrants, either; I don't even say "non-black" immigrants, because I've graded the composition essays of Somali students here in Minneapolis, and they're also capable of sounding like Steve Sailer. The "critical race theory" idea—I think Baldwin was the first major writer to make the point—of immigrants defining themselves against African Americans is just true; I've seen it again and again.

On the other hand, Paglia was liberal on race, if in an aestheticized way that earned her a rebuke from bell hooks. Whenever she did talk about race, she took a romantic pan-POC (to include Italians and Jews) and anti-WASP stance. She blamed the feminism she despised on an almost racial Anglo-Saxon female frigidity. (There's a reason she became friends with Edward Said.) This seems less absurd when you read an early feminist tract like Olive Schreiner's Woman and Labour and find that it sounds like a Nazi pamphlet, heralding feminism as the rebirth, after industrialism caused a small setback in white women's estate, of the always-independent Teutonic sisterhood, this as against the immemorial slavery of women practiced by the "darker races" (presumably, again, to include Italians and Jews). But there are even strains of this kind of thing in Wollstonecraft and Fuller, too. Some have even wondered why Gilman's famous wallpaper is yellow.

As with Paglia, my own thinking about gender and sexuality ranges beyond the bounds of liberalism in either direction or all directions, while I can't say the same for race. I think it's irresponsible, to say the least, for humanists and artists to indulge anything like biological racism. Gender and sexuality are endlessly fascinating and unsolvable riddles, whereas I've never been able to get intellectually interested in race; masculine and feminine are cosmic forces, but "black" and "white" are the flimsy contrivances of the pirate and the sociologist.

Whisper Valve Market Trend by Leading Companies, Regional Outlook 2035

Research Nester published a report titled “Whisper Valve Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2035” which delivers detailed overview of the global whisper valve market in terms of market segmentation by gauge type, application, and by region.

Further, for the in-depth analysis, the report encompasses the industry growth indicators, restraints, supply and demand risk, along with detailed discussion on current and future market trends that are associated with the growth of the market.

The global whisper valve market is anticipated to attain a CAGR of ~11% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. The market is segmented by application into medical, food & beverage, hot-air balloon, and others. Out of these, the medical segment is anticipated to hold a substantial share over the forecast period on account of the growing demand for whisper valves in the cryogenic systems in healthcare sector. Whisper valve can reduce the loud noises of medical machinery, which is further expected to fuel the growth of the segment.

The global whisper valve market is estimated to grow on the back of increasing use of whisper valves to curb the noise generated by cryogenic systems in the medical industry, hot-air balloons, and others. Cryogenic systems, which are nitrogen based, produce extreme noise above 100 db, which is why, whisper valves are used to silence the systems. Furthermore, they are compact, easy to install and maintain, and are relatively less expensive, which is also anticipated to promote the market growth. Additionally, increasing application in the healthcare sector, backed by growing cases of organ transplant, are estimated to boost the market growth. 

On the basis of geographical analysis, the global whisper valve market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. The market in the North America region is anticipated to gain the largest market share throughout the forecast period, on account of the increasing demand for whisper valves in the healthcare sector, coupled with the hike in organ transplant surgeries. As per the data by the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration, more than 40,000 organ transplants were performed in 2021.

The research is global in nature and covers detailed analysis on the market in North America (U.S., Canada), Europe (U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Belgium, Netherlands & Luxembourg, NORDIC [Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark], Poland, Turkey, Russia, Rest of Europe), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Rest of Latin America), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Middle East and Africa (Israel, GCC [Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman], North Africa, South Africa, Rest of Middle East and Africa). In addition, analysis comprising market size, Y-O-Y growth & opportunity analysis, market players’ competitive study, investment opportunities, demand for future outlook etc. has also been covered and displayed in the research report.

Increasing Use of Whisper Valves in Hospitals to boost the Market Growth

Whisper valves are used with cryogenic pumps to lower the noise produced by the systems. Cryogenic pumps are used to preserve organs for organ transplant. Hence, the growing cases of organ transplants at hospitals is bound to boost the market growth.

However, requirement of high initial investment is expected to operate as key restraint to the growth of global whisper valve market over the forecast period.

This report also provides the existing competitive scenario of some of the key players of the global whisper valve market which includes company profiling of Koninklijke Philips N.V., Airgas, Inc., Starmed Health Care Private Limited, CapitalAir Corporation, Schreiner GmbH, Burkert Corporation, Manpro Equipments Private Limited, Chunji Corporation, Middlesex Gases & Technologies, Inc., and Vitality Medical. The profiling enfolds key information of the companies which encompasses business overview, products and services, key financials and recent news and developments. On the whole, the report depicts detailed overview of the global whisper valve market that will help industry consultants, equipment manufacturers, existing players searching for expansion opportunities, new players searching possibilities and other stakeholders to align their market centric strategies according to the ongoing and expected trends in the future.

Oral Communicaton

Effective Communication:Barriers and Strategies

Some basic skills can help you to be a more effective communicator in the classroom. This Teaching Tip explores:barriers to listening and strategies for effective listening;barriers to accurate perception and strategies for accurate perception; and,barriers to effective verbal communication and strategies for effective verbal communication.

Barriers to listening

Focusing on a personal agenda. 

When we spend our listening time formulating our next response, we cannot be fully attentive to what the speaker is saying.

Experiencing information overload. 

Too much stimulation or information can make it very difficult to listen with full attention. Try to focus on the relevant information, and the central points that are being conveyed.

Criticizing the speaker. 

Do not be distracted by critical evaluations of the speaker. Focus on what they are saying - the message - rather than the messenger.

Getting distracted by emotional noise.

 We react emotionally to certain words, concepts and ideas, and to a myriad of other cues from speakers (appearance, non-verbal cues such as gestures, etc.). Make a conscious effort to quiet your own emotional reactions so that you can listen properly.

Getting distracted by external “noise”. 

Audible noise may be extremely distracting. Some things can be minimized – e.g., turn down the ringer on your phone, and notifications on your phone or computer while meeting with someone. Other noises may be unavoidable – e.g., construction, other people. Also, there may be figurative “noise” from the external environment, such as distracting or inappropriate decor in a room, or environmental conditions such as the room being too hot or cold.

Experiencing physical difficulty. 

Feeling physically unwell, or experiencing pain can make it very difficult to listen effectively. You may wish to communicate that this is not a good time, and reschedule the discussion. 

Strategies for active listening

The following strategies are intended to promote active listening, or a type of listening with the goal to “develop a clear understanding of the speaker’s concern and also to clearly communicate the listener’s interest in the speaker’s message” (McNaughton, Hamlin, McCarthy, Head-Reeves, & Schreiner, 2008, p. 224).

Stop. 

Focus on the other person, their thoughts and feelings. Consciously focus on quieting your own internal commentary, and step away from your own concerns to think about those of the speaker. Give your full attention to the speaker.

Look. 

Pay attention to non-verbal messages, without letting yourself be distracted. Notice body language and non-verbal cues to allow for a richer understanding of the speaker’s point. Remember that “active listeners need to communicate to the speaker that they are involved and giving the person unconditional attention” (Weger, Castle, & Emmett, 2010, p. 35).

Listen. 

Listen for the essence of the speaker’s thoughts: details, major ideas and their meanings. Seek an overall understanding of what the speaker is trying to communicate, rather than reacting to the individual words or terms that they use to express themselves.

Be empathetic.

 Imagine how you would feel in their circumstances. Be empathetic to the feelings of the speaker, while maintaining a calm centre within yourself. You need not be drawn into all of their problems or issues, as long as you acknowledge what they are experiencing.

Ask questions.

Use questions to clarify your understanding, as well as to demonstrate interest in what is being said.

Paraphrase.

 If you don’t have any specific questions to ask, you may choose to repeat back to the speaker, in your own words, what you have taken away, in order to allow the speaker to clarify any points (Weger et al., 2010).

Barriers to accurate perception

Stereotyping and generalizing. 

Be careful not to hold on to preconceptions about people or things. We often have a tendency to see what we want to see, forming an impression from a small amount of information or one experience, and assuming that to be highly representative of the whole person or situation.

Not investing time. 

Making assumptions and ignoring details or circumstances can lead to misconceptions. When we fail to look in-depth for causes or circumstances, we miss important details, and do not allow for the complexity of the situation.

Having a distorted focus. 

Focusing on the negative aspects of a conversation or a situation is a habit common to many people. Even though we may recognize the positive things, we often give more weight to the negative, allowing one negative comment to overshadow numerous positive ones.

Assuming similar interpretations. 

Not everyone will draw the same conclusions from a given situation or set of information. Everybody interprets things differently. Make sure to check for other people’s interpretations, and be explicit about your own.

Experiencing incongruent cues. 

As speakers, and as listeners, we are constantly and simultaneously sending cues and receiving them from other people. Try to be consistent with your verbal cues and your body language. Do not say one thing and express something else through your body language. Be aware of how your non-verbal communication relates to your spoken words. If someone else seems to be sending a double message — by saying one thing and expressing something else in their body language — ask for clarification.

Strategies for accurate perception

Analyze your own perceptions. 

Question your perceptions, and think about how they are formed. Check in with others around you regularly, and be aware of assumptions that you are making. Seek additional information and observations. You may just need to ask people if your perceptions are accurate.

Work on improving your perception. 

Increase your awareness of barriers to perception, and which ones you tend towards. Check in with yourself regularly. Seek honest, constructive feedback from others regarding their perceptions of you as a means of increasing your self­awareness.

Focus on others. 

Develop your ability to focus on other people, and understand them better by trying to gather knowledge about them, listening to them actively, and imagining how you would feel in their situation.

Barriers to effective verbal communication

Lacking clarity. Avoid abstract, overly-formal language, colloquialisms, and jargon, which obscure your message more than they serve to impress people.

Using stereotypes and generalizations.

Speakers who make unqualified generalizations undermine their own clarity and credibility. Be careful not to get stuck in the habit of using stereotypes, or making generalizations about complex systems or situations. Another form of generalization is “polarization” or creating extremes. Try to be sensitive to the complexities of situations, rather than viewing the world in black and white.

Jumping to conclusions. 

Confusing facts with inferences is a common tendency. Do not assume you know the reasons behind events, or that certain facts necessarily have certain implications. Make sure you have all the information you can get, and then speak clearly about the facts versus the meanings or interpretations you attach to those.

Dysfunctional responses. 

Ignoring or not responding to a comment or question quickly undermines effective communication. Likewise, responding with an irrelevant comment -- one that isn't connected to the topic at hand -- will quash genuine communication. Interrupting others while they are speaking also creates a poor environment for communication.

Lacking confidence.

 Lacking confidence can be a major barrier to effective communication. Shyness, difficulty being assertive, or low self-worth can hinder your ability to make your needs and opinions known. Also, a lack of awareness of your own rights and opportunities in a given situation can prevent you from expressing your needs openly. See Eison (1990)’s “Confidence in the Classroom: Ten Maxims for New Teachers” for a set of maxims to think about when reflecting on your own confidence as a communicator.

Strategies for effective verbal communication

Focus on the issue, not the person. 

Try not to take everything personally, and similarly, express your own needs and opinions in terms of the job at hand. Solve problems rather than attempt to control others. For example, rather than ignoring a student who routinely answers questions in class with inappropriate tangents, speak with the student outside of class about how this might disrupt the class and distract other students.

Be genuine rather than manipulative.

 Be yourself, honestly and openly. Be honest with yourself, and focus on working well with the people around you, and acting with integrity.

Empathize rather than remain detached. 

Although professional relationships entail some boundaries when it comes to interaction with colleagues, it is important to demonstrate sensitivity, and to really care about the people you work with. If you don’t care about them, it will be difficult for them to care about you when it comes to working together.

Be flexible towards others.

 Allow for other points of view, and be open to other ways of doing things. Diversity brings creativity and innovation.

Value yourself and your own experiences. 

Be firm about your own rights and needs. Undervaluing yourself encourages others to undervalue you, too. Offer your ideas and expect to be treated well.

Use affirming responses. 

Respond to other in ways that acknowledge their experiences. Thank them for their input. Affirm their right to their feelings, even if you disagree. Ask questions, express positive feeling; and provide positive feedback when you can.

Chapter One

Trouble on the Way

October 12th, 2017

6:45 am

It was an unusually cold day in Pasadena California, the sharp smell of rain still lingered in the air, it was the weekend and I was in my room as per usual. It was oddly comforting, as I was getting sick of the hot sun on my face. Within my phone went off with a solid buzz. 

Hey there unlucky!-W

Haha funny 🙄 We’re still going to that party right?

Mmm, I kinda wanna go skating, but I’ll meet you after?-W

Don’t stay out too late Wiiillliam

As I put my phone down I heard a knock from outside, 

“Yeah?”

A head poked into my room, to reveal my stepbrother, Malcolm,  he had the same shaggy brown hair and comforting grey eyes as per usual his hair looked a bit unkempt but comforting nonetheless. 

“Come on Ju-inx we need to go to school! Mom said we can’t be late again. The bus is coming! And you haven’t had breakfast”

“Mal it’s fine, Will is giving me a ride and everything’s going to be fine.”

He turned and gave me a serious look, before ruffling my hair

“You know you’re a terrible liar. Just promise me you’ll go to school okay and hey we could celebrate tomorrow. I know Willie and  I know what they call you but you can’t let it affect you too much”

I frowned before eventually nodding,

"Yeah Malcolm. I promise I'll go to school today. "

October 13th, 2017

2:55 am

The walk back from the party was daunting, I wish I was exaggerating, but it was another birthday. See there’s a reason why Malcolm struggled with my name, it’s Jinx to put it plainly. Ever since I was a kid, bad luck followed me like a magnet. From slipping on ice and spraining my ankle to just getting sick every school picture day. I never have caught a break in the luck department.  For some reason, it just seems to spike, especially on my birthday.  I checked my phone, no texts from Willie, but as I went to check my phone to see if Willie had texted me since I had left the party.  Absolutely nothing.

Just gotta get home you’ll see Willie in a few hours, Happy Birthday Jinx, another year of bad luck and misfortune tailing you like a black cat yet again. 

I sighed popping in my headphones, singing along and drumming to the beat

”I see the bad moon rising, I see trouble on the way”

I continued to walk, waiting for the bus, I didn’t want to take any chances with ubers and the chance of my step-dad seeing the lights it was better if I just took a bus.

I continued to walk before feeling something hit the back of my head. My vision started blurring before feeling that hit to the back of the head yet again, and as I touched the back of my head I felt blood. I was seeing my blood. 

“Hey what the hell!” But it sounded slowed like my head was underwater, I was struggling to even stay conscious.

---

October 10th, 2020

Willie sat patiently waiting for Alex, did he pass on, did Caleb find him and the others, his head racing with thoughts, his leg moving up and down nervously.

He’s fine, he’s fine. Not like them. He wouldn’t risk going back to Caleb, and the Orpheum how co-

And then he was there in a small flash of golden blonde.

“Willie hey! I’m so sorry I was late but I have great news”

Willie didn’t wait a single second before hugging him.

Alex melted into his arms smiling into the hug instantly.

“Hey.  Is everything okay?”

Willie nodded, pushing back the tears that were slowly forming in his eyes. 

“So, I take it that wasn’t your unfinished business.”

Alex sighed, slowly pulling away, 

“Yeah but listen, no more stamp! Julie, the lifer, she saved us!”

At this point Willie was still hugging Alex, he felt so warm, so safe. Skating had always been a solace sure, but this was different. 

Alex stopped hugging  Willie for a moment, 

“Is everything okay?”

Before Willie could answer his phone started blaring an all familiar song, Bad Moon Rising by Clearwater Revival. And as he checked it was a notification plain and simple, a text notification, with two simple words with a ghost emoji and black cat emoji

Guys I DON'T HAVE A FAT FETISH!!!! I'm SORRY (?) but just bc I like Cyril Schreiner doesn't mean I wanna talk abt hot fat people.. erm chile I just think he's funny 😭😭 so erm yeah you don't need to keep interacting with my account for that reason, so many people have.. I'm not into it sorry LOL..

[my-humble-garden]

good grief, it’s hot today.

and not the normal kind of hot. it’s hot. as i’m writing this, it’s 10:30 in the morning. it’s 88 degrees outside, but feels like its 98. the sun has barely even been up!! and it already feels like it’s almost 100 degrees outside.

this is obscene.

however, yesterday my irises got here! i ordered eleven of them this spring from schreiner’s gardens on a bit of a whim. after an excruciatingly hot summer, they didn’t have enough stock to sell certain varieties, and i only got ten rhizomes… but they gave me two bonus ones so i still ended up with twelve :)

i planted half last night and the other half this morning. after being outside though, i’m wondering if i shouldn’t have waited a little while before planting?

what’s done is done though, so now i just need to make sure they don’t get too hot…. wish me luck, i guess?

Spending online on Black Friday this year surged nearly 22% to hit a new record, according to data from Adobe Analytics, as the Covid pandemic pushed more people to shop from the sofa and avoid crowded stores and malls.

Consumers spent $9 billion on the web the day after Thanksgiving, up 21.6% year over year, according to Adobe, which analyzes website transactions from 80 of the top 100 U.S. online retailers.

This makes Black Friday 2020 the second-largest online spending day in history in the United States, behind Cyber Monday last year, Adobe said. Cyber Monday this year is slated to become the largest digital sales day ever, with spending reaching between $10.8 billion and $12.7 billion, which would represent growth of 15% to 35% from a year earlier.

“New consoles, phones, smart devices and TVs that are traditional Black Friday purchases are sharing online shopping cart space this year with unorthodox Black Friday purchases such as groceries, clothes and alcohol, that would previously have been purchased in-store,” said Taylor Schreiner, a director at Adobe Digital Insights.

As many retailers kicked off their holiday sales in October this year, tied to the delayed timing of Amazon‘s Prime Day event, and put more doorbuster deals online, shoppers had less of a reason to head to stores on Black Friday. People who did venture out were greeted with fewer lines and emptier parking lots than holiday sales events of the past.

On Black Friday, Adobe found consumers spent $6.3 million per minute online, or $27.50 per person, on average. Spending on smartphones surged 25.3% year over year to reach $3.6 billion, representing 40% of total e-commerce spending.

And with retailers from Target to Best Buy to Dick’s Sporting Goods encouraging customers to buy online and then safely pick up their orders at stores, the use of curbside pickup on Black Friday increased 52% from a year earlier, Adobe found.

Hot items on Black Friday included Hot Wheels, Lego sets, Apple AirPods, Apple Watches, Amazon Echo devices and Samsung TVs, according to Adobe data, as consumers scoured the web for things to entertain themselves and their kids.

People also are turning to the internet for fresh food and snacks this holiday season. Online grocery shopping on Black Friday surged 397% compared with October daily averages, Adobe said. Sales of personal care products skyrocketed 556%, and online spending on pet products rose 254%.
