Lynn Chadwick's Moon Phases

What inspires my collecting is always unknown to me, it is just “If I like it”. But I rather like the simple looking Phases of the Moon by sculpture Lynn Chadwick. So different from the triangle shaped aliens he normally represents. 

 Lynn Chadwick, Moon in Alabama, 1963

Chadwick's Moon in Alabama series of 1963, variations on a faceted sphere, is a sculptor's image, yet developed with a consciousness of the potential of printmaking for changing colour ways. †

 Lynn Chadwick - Moon in Alabama (colour variant), 1963

Moon in Alabama reminds one of those evil-looking mines, horned with detonators, that were sown at sea and whose shape Chadwick may subconsciously have recalled from his Fleet Air Arm days as he worked on the maquettes. ‡

Closing and Bibliography

The success of the Drudge Report cannot be ignored. Drudge single-handedly managed to swiftly change the history of American politics by being the first news outlet to publish the Lewinsky scandal, and ultimately paved the way for Bill Clinton’s impeachment. The unchanged and timeless design of the Drudge Report has remained current for the over two decades and no other news outlet can claim that title. Even though the Drudge Report may have influenced click bait, fake news, and even Trump, Drudge has successfully managed to create a colossal platform where Drudge holds the illuminating power to chronicle information like no other news site can.

Stick and stone may break bones, but so do words

“Power still rules society; it still shapes, and dominates us” (Castells, 1997, as cited in Westwood, 2002, p.5), and technology has been a perfect tool to do so in this digital age. Lundberg (2018) stated that the Internet has been theorized as “a space for empowerment” (p. 40), as it has given us unlimited access to information and powerfully changed the ways we communicate. However, all of these good things also proliferate opportunities for a “vastly extended” Panopticon (Turkle, 1995, p.248). In this blog, I will talk about a dark side of networking sites: Cyberbullying.

The online social network I have decided to explore is Facebook. For most of us, our experiences on Facebook are about scrolling down the news feed, posting statuses, and “reacting” to other people’s pictures. However, since I started using Facebook in 2011 until now, the site is being filled with violence. Most commonly, I noticed that people are taking advantages of the anonymous feature of Facebook to humiliate others through the online posting of sensitive information without their consent, and harassing others through messengers. The Facebook has enabled the bullies to be more pervasive and inflict emotional pain on the victims (Moore, Nakano, Enomoto, & Suda, 2012).

I have a pretty thick skin for hurtful comments. Hence, my experience with Facebook has empowered me in a way that I can raise my opinion on particular topics, and do not bother if someone insults me. However, the fact that some people cannot escape from the negative feeling brought by the cyberbullies has made Facebook become a panopticon that “presents a cruel, ingenious cage” (Foucault, 1977, p.205). Nadia Rawls, the director of Social Media & Audience Development at TED.com evaluated the heartless side of social networking sites, “we all find our self-esteem shaken when we feel insulted or disrespected. But to have the entire world insult you to your face —that’s abuse on another level” (Rawls, 2015).

Overall, Professor Anita Lundberg stated that “the internet, social networking sites and the interactions of people are all governed by laws of networks” (Lundberg, 2018, p. 7). If that so, should we blame the Internet? Or, is human nature genetically violent and cruel?

surveyss 033.

Do you feel uncomfortable on the dance floor? Or are you confident with you dancing abilities? so I am in no way, shape, or form close to resembling something near talented in this area. However, that does not prevent me from busting a move. I just want to live life without fear of being judged, and just enjoy.

Is it exciting to you to imagine having an affair with a teacher? I mean, sure! But how often does it happen when a prof is a male, single, and attractive?

Do you like your smile? I don’t particularly mind it

What is something silly that you believed to be true when you were a child? that thunder was the angels going bowling

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone you completely connected with on a mental/emotional level, but did not find physically attractive in any way? Was physical intimacy a problem? How did it work out? I have been in relationships with men who I did not find attractive initially. However, upon learning their personality, characteristics, mindset, etc. I found them IMMENSELY attractive.

What classic or cult movie have you never seen and have no desire to? harry potter

Have you ever taken a real liking to a band/singer you never ever....ever thought you'd enjoy? I mean I’m sure this has happened, but I can’t think of one at the top of my head.

Which one actors/actresses do you despise in the roles they tend to play? We are not talking about who they are as real people - just their roles. Hm. I can’t think of an example at the moment.

Do you have a fountain in your garden? Is it something you would like to have? I have no feelings either way other than I am disturbed by the look of the plastic bags people put over the fountains in the winter. it looks SO ugly.

After seeing the movie “Avatar” did you suddenly view our Earth as ugly and/or boring? If you have not seen the movie, do you think it’s worth your time? to be honest, it never crossed my mind.

Do you know how to properly use your knife and fork? Or does being proper not matter to you? uhh? 

What's the earliest news event you can remember hearing about/seeing? What years was this, and how old were you at the time? I can remember the whole clinton/lewinsky situation, Princess Diana dying, and 9/11.

Your favorite book is being made into a (good well thought out and produced) movie. You choose the cast. Which book, which actors? 
If your favorite book has already been made into a movie, how was the casting? Who would you have chosen? it’s already been cast by the most phenomenal set of individuals (pride and prejudice Keira Knightley version)

Would you care if your SO went to a strip club? I would if they didn’t tell me beforehand. I don’t really understand the purpose but I guess it would depend.

What is the first link that pops up for each letter of the alphabet when you put it into the address bar?:

A - Amazon. B - Booking.com C - Chrome D - DaFont E - Etsy F - Flightmovie (??? what the heck is that) G - Getconnectedsouthwestair H - HSN (LOOOOOOOL) I - Instacart J - Jamaican citrus (I am rolling laughing. that was for a crossword) K - Kate Beckinsale L - Love In The Time of Cholera (a book I ordered) M - Menards -- fitting. N - “North American Tree Types” I am dyin. O - Old Navy P - Phi Theta Kappa bookstore Q - Q scrabble words (?) R - Refuge by Charlotte Russe (I keep hoping it’ll come back in stock) S - Southwest T - Tumblr. U - United States Map V - Victims of the condo collapse W - www.google.com/maps X - Xfinity. Y - YouTube. Z - “Zoom.”

Do you think someone could gather a good a idea about from that list ^ ? hahaha, you could find out a lot of my interests.

What are you fucking sick of hearing? my neighbor and his dog.

How are you when you get angry? Is it ever a physical sensation, or purely emotional? Uhhh, I seldom get angry. when I do I feel my heart rate soar and I tend to step away because I refuse to speak out of anger and I hate letting people have any sort of hold on my emotions.

What word do you pronounce wrong every time, despite the fact that you know its wrong? uhhhhhhhhh, good question.

How helpful are your parents to you? Would they help you to pay for your first apartment? College? Where does the line end? My mom is helpful in so many ways but she can’t afford to pay for those sorts of things. My dad quit paying for things related to his kids back when we were in middle school.

'It would be suicide' to fire Mueller, GOP senator warns Trump

Trump, Mueller and Grassley. (Photo illustration: Yahoo News; photos: Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images, Joshua Roberts/Reuters, Andrew Kelly/Reuters, J. Scott Applewhite/AP)

President Trump renewed speculation surrounding the fate of the Russia investigation after the FBI raided the office of his personal attorney on Monday, saying, in response to a question about firing Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, “We’ll see.”

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, told Fox Business Tuesday that if he did, “it would be suicide.”

“I have confidence in Mueller. The president ought to have confidence in Mueller,” Grassley said. “I think the less the president says about this whole thing, the better off he would be.”

Trump sounded off on Mueller before a meeting of military officials at the White House early Monday evening after learning that the FBI raided the office and hotel of his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. The New York Times reported that federal agents were looking for information related to Cohen’s hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 presidential election, as well as possible payments to other women by Cohen or The National Enquirer.

“So, I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, a good man, and it’s a disgraceful situation,” Trump began. “It’s a total witch hunt. I’ve been saying it for a long time.”

“It’s an attack on our country, in a true sense. It’s an attack on what we all stand for,” Trump continued, saying the raids represent “a whole new level of unfairness.”

On CNN, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., dismissed the idea that the special counsel is on a “witch hunt.”

“I don’t see any reason to fire Mr. Mueller,” Graham said. “I know the president’s frustrated. He’s told me over and over he did nothing to collude with the Russians. He thinks this thing is running, you know, outside the boundaries here. But at the end of the day Mueller needs to continue to do his job without political interference, and I think most members of Congress view it that way.”

But Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., accused Mueller of abusing his authority with the raids on Cohen.

“Going after someone’s personal attorney is a great overstep, I think, in the authority of the prosecutor,” Paul said on Fox News. “The president’s right: It’s a witch hunt.”

Paul was asked if he felt the same when Ken Starr, the former Whitewater independent counsel, investigated President Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky in the mid-1990s. “You know, I may not have been as consistent back then,” Paul replied.

Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, a close friend of Trump, said on Monday night that Mueller “is now a man that has to be brought under control.

“I would fire the SOB in three seconds if it were me,” Dobbs said.

At the White House, Trump was asked by reporters why he doesn’t “just fire” Mueller.

“Well, I think it’s a disgrace what’s going on. We’ll see what happens. But I think it’s really a sad situation when you look at what happened. And many people have said, ’You should fire him,’” Trump said. “So we’ll see what happens. I think it’s disgraceful, and so does a lot of other people. This is a pure and simple witch hunt.”

The president could take steps to remove the special counsel, but would need the cooperation of Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general. It’s believed that Rosenstein, who reportedly threatened to quit because of the way the Comey dismissal was handled, would not back such a move.

“The special counsel is not an unguided missile,” Rosenstein told USA Today last month. “I don’t believe there is any justification at this point for terminating the special counsel.”

On CNN Monday night, former Trump adviser Steve Cortes said Trump ought to clean house.

“The president needs to fire Jeff Sessions,” former Trump adviser Steve Cortes said on CNN Monday night. “He needs to fire Rosenstein. He needs to fire Mueller. This is a sham investigation. This is his own Justice Department trying to usurp the power of the presidency.”

Appearing on CNN Tuesday, Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., said that if Trump were to move in the direction of removing Mueller, “certainly we’d be looking at some sort of constitutional crisis.”

On Capitol Hill, Republican leaders have resisted calls from Democrats to enact legislation that would protect the special counsel, saying there is no need to do so.

“Our Republican colleagues say [the] President won’t fire Mueller,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., tweeted on Tuesday. “If they aren’t going to pass legislation to protect investigation, then they must tell us what they’re going to do if he does.”

D'Angelo's 'Witchcraft' Redefined What an R&B Album Can Be

A four-and-a-half-minute-long, NSFW video recording changed the whole program of D'Angelo's career.

"Untitled (Exactly How Performs It Feel)" begins accidently, panning coming from the vocalist's nice cornrows to his gap-toothed grin. Stripped-down and also susceptible, the normally smooth performer looks slightly uneasy. This pain is relatable; it is actually the sensation of undressing before somebody who has never ever observed you nude. With his look corrected below his midsection, you're left behind pondering what the heck is actually going on below the chance. In a job interview along with? uestlove, the vocalist would not assure or reject if he was actually obtaining dental sex, but his superficial breathing merely contributes to the implication. The magnetism of "Untitled," as well as it's exciting grandeur, makes it very easy to miss out on the Jesus crucifix pendant hanging coming from his back. The dichotomy of religion as well as sexuality has actually been the core pressure in the production of D'Angelo.

Even with the results of 1995's Brown Sugar, and also eventually Witchcraft-- which transforms twenty years outdated today-- the R&B vocalist stayed an enigma: He was actually evolving as D'Angelo, the sex symbolic representation, yet dealing with like heck to be actually Michael Archer, the choir young boy who grew in his father's Pentecostal religion. The measure of Dark quality is actually frequently assessed by just how remarkably our company may harmonize our double awareness: that we are actually versus who the world identifies our company to be. Honored as the second coming of Prince, D'Angelo's radiance plagued him, as well as his sophomore album will test just how much he was willing to compromise for self-preservation.

"As I started to hear what ended up being Voodoo, I swiftly started to recognize that this was actually not simply Brown Sugar part 2," excursion supervisor Alan Leeds said in the docudrama. "It was crystal clear to me that he went to the forefront of no matter where Dark popular music was visiting use the following 10 or twenty years."

Created in his bed room on a 4-track in Richmond, Brown Glucose pleases each of the detects. The "cherry in [his] chocolate-covered goals" remains on your lips on "Me and also Those Dreamin' Eyes of Mine," and you can easily see his blood-stained hands through the side of the bluesy "Crap, Damn, Motherfucker." D'Angelo's songwriting frequently mixes fragrant as well as scrumptious, as he carries out on the record's eponymous solitary. "I receive higher on your affection, do not recognize exactly how to behave," wasn't for dramatic impact; it was actually an ode to a forthright as balmy as the hooptie you hotboxed in college. Reprising 90s R&B in his picture, D'Angelo was actually identical parts Sly Rock and A People Referred To As Pursuit; this crash of soul and also road offered childbirth to a brand-new label of rhythm as well as blues that fit him like a handwear cover. "I was regularly choosing to make hip-hop without possessing to seem R&B," he informed? uestlove.

"After [Brown Sugar] was performed I enjoyed it, yet there were certain songs that I experienced it lost one thing in between the demonstration version plus all of the creation that went into it," he said in a 2014 meeting with Reddish Bull Popular Music Academy. After thinking that his debut came to be "a little homogenized," D'Angelo generated his consequence to test the mainstream. "Straight from the cow to the glass-- that's what Voodoo was actually," he pointed out.

As followers awaited an additional cd and also the second fifty percent of the 90s played out, life didn't seem to slow down. The O.J. Simpson murder trial split the country, along with the absolution of the previous expert football gamer astonishing The United States. Louis Farrakhan's attempt to industry the Thousand Man March as a symbol of unity didn't assist the Dark community's social anguish. Tupac and also Big deal's massacres were actually mindless, and also when the Nyc Cops Division shot 41 chance ats Amadou Diallo, a disarmed 23-year-old immigrant from Guinea, the target on the spines of Black men were amplified. As the many years wound down, Bill Clinton, who Toni Morrison the moment referred to as our "initial Dark president," was dealing with impeachment for an occasion with Monica Lewinsky, a White Property trainee.

Twenty years later, United States has finally seen 2 terms of its own actual first Black president, yet the country remains mistaken in myriad ways: possible impeachment is actually as soon as again on the perspective, appealing sporting activities heroes are actually still confined in massacre hearings, and also cops violence remains to dominate the titles. Voodoo's brilliant depends on D'Angelo's selection to make an album as incomplete as the amount of times.

The cd's title alone redeemed dark magic decades just before the expression "black (gal) miracle" became a symbol of empowerment. Glorifying the spiritual methods of the American South, Caribbean islands, as well as West Africa, Voodoo symbolized the marital relationship of the intricacies of Dark life and also faith affecting his sound. Somewhat than decrease Vodou to spells and ritual killings, the performer conjured the soul of the Haitians that birthed the faith on slavery farmsteads.

"I discovered that everything that exists, all music, stems from Africa," D'Angelo said to desire hampton in a 2000 problem of FEEL. "I began to find all the links of music aiming back to Africa, and I wished to show all those styles. Like what Sly was actually attempting to perform, like what Royal prince was actually attempting to carry out, as well as Jimi too."

D'Angelo taped Voodoo at Greenwich Town's Electric Girl Studios. Certainly there, summoning the power of Hendrix-- that developed the studio in the 70s-- as well as packing it with signboards of various other soul guys like Royal prince as well as The Isley Brothers, he made it a shrine to his heroes. As an adolescent in Richmond, a prospective mentorship with Ellis Marsalis Jr. dropped through, and now, he had actually located the positive side: training would possess created him also brightened, and also Witchcraft was the reverse of formal musicality. The recording of Voodoo was fully uncustomary. Envious a demo-like premium that was actually shed on Brownish Sweets, he videotaped most of the album in one take, determining what to keep after playback. Tunes appeared primarily out of jam treatments, along with tracks like "Greatdayndamornin'" and "The Origin" fastened all together through designer Russ Elevado.

What is actually most significant isn't just the means they recorded, yet exactly how they participated in." [Witchcraft] revolutionized how audio equipments and reside guitars could possibly sound," guitar player Jesse Johnson pointed out in Devil's Cake. "It was actually so anti-music market, I liked it since also the trendiest song, which was 'Untitled,' really did not possess a headline." Working with reduced zing drums as well as a regular 4-string bass guitar, Witchcraft was actually a snarling whisper compared to its contemporaries.? uest's drumming was modeled after J Dilla's trademark type, "bit [ping] to seamless gutter pail degrees," or even playing inaccurate, as he commonly explains it.

Certainly not only was the manufacturing highly textured, yet thus was actually the album's lyricism. The off-center drumming and distant vocals of "Hen Oil" developed a special combination for his analogies. Poultry, much like music, is ideal with the remainders of tastes the oil carries, as well as D'Angelo desired listeners to taste that spice. "Simmer to a sizzle like the day of outdated/ Yet I'll wait til I've learnt this, allow the others go initially," he vocalizes. This notion of frowning at brilliance, as well as the reparations it asks for, haunt him on various other tunes like "Free throw line": "I mentioned the tension is on/ Coming from every viewpoint, political to individual," he performs. "Will I dangle or even receive left behind hangin'?/ Will I diminish, or even is it bangin'?"

Despite his insecurities, Voodoo was a transformation. It was a middle finger to bureaucracy relating to the restrictions positioned on Dark popular music, but it was actually also a method of healing.

The only issue was, his setting as a recently produced sex symbolic representation was actually risking his principles, ultimately ending up being a disturbance coming from his songs.

Adhering to "Untitled," D'Angelo concerts ended up being a storm of demands to find him shirtless, regardless of the gravitation of the tunes on Voodoo. He 'd oblige, stripping down as rapidly as twenty mins in to his collection simply to keep his enthusiasts fulfilled. Carrying out became the form of chains he performed approximately on "Evil one's Pie," a monitor more hip-hop than R&B that was made through DJ Premier. "The spirit of the vocals is actually extra like a chain gang, or even area of servants, choosing whatever the fuck owner had our company picking, and also's what our experts 'd be actually vocal singing in the very hot fucking sunlight," he informed Red Upward. Prating off the strange traits folks do for amount of money as well as desire, he performs certainly not exclude himself. "Who am I to warrant/ All the misery in our eye/ When I myself feel the higher/ From everything I abhor?" he performs. D'Angelo devoted the following 14 years hunting for the response to that concern.

To be actually Dark as well as exceptional methods that you must be both in all times. There is actually seldom any sort of space for mistake, and also it's certainly not adequate to simply be actually dazzling-- you must be actually "twice as excellent." "Everything short of one's absolute best is a different off the upright and also slim put together for our team by whatever generation went through before our team-- as well as a dishonor to what we owe them," Steven Undergrowth composed for. The skills of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Donny Hathaway, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, as well as D'Angelo's peer J Dilla were actually darkened through their fatalities. The idea that D'Angelo's destiny can represent those of his heroes paralyzed Michael Archer, and an individual.

Reborn in the time of Dark Lives Concern, D'Angelo's long-awaited Black Messiah gotten here in 2014 as a response to the massacre of Michael Brown, a disarmed teenager, due to the Ferguson Cops Department. Even with his 3rd album being actually near-complete for virtually two years, he possessed reservations concerning discharging it. "He yearned for one thing that was actually much more free-flowing, that more showed anarchy as well as seriousness as well as circle," Jocelyn Cooper, that signed the vocalist in the 90s, said to. Every thing he knew on his sophomore cd was happening cycle.

When Sorcery was actually complete, D'Angelo revealed that his mission was actually to boost the audios of his preferred artists, as opposed to example all of them.? uestlove talked to the singer, "Thus would certainly you point out that [the album] is actually that eyesight materialized?"

"Yeah ... but not entirely," D'Angelo pointed out. "I seem like it is actually the start of it. We refined it with Witchcraft."

The Midheaven: How You Will Be Remembered

The Midheaven (MC) is commonly thought to describe one’s career path. Although this is a decent indicator of one’s overall path, it can be hard to relate to a specific career so early in one’s life. So, if you don’t relate to your Midheaven like, “Oh, you have a MC in Aries, so you’re probably going to be a police officer, solider, or athlete" then maybe try thinking of the Midheaven as how you will be remembered or what you are generally associated with. (Always trust your dominant sign to describe you the most- *a post similar to this coming soon) ✨No matter what career you decide, you will be remembered by your peers, co-workers, friends, and family by traits from the sign, aspects*, and planets* bestowed upon your 10th House.✨
