"At Last" as a True American Classic
Posted on December 20, 2013 by ecameron27
The taste of a song often has to do with the time of its release and its context. There are songs out there written without much taste that can be reinterpreted to have depth and value based on when it is being played. There are also songs out there that can endure time and transition in the world only to resurface decades later with a new meaning or taste. The song "At Last" is one of these songs. It was originally released in 1941 and has been covered and revamped by pretty much all soul, blues and R&B artist since then. The most notable renditions of the song, however, were by Etta James in 1961 and recently by Beyoncé Knowles at the Presidential Inauguration in 2009. This song is an American classic that continues to be redefined by American revolution and culture. It is a timeless hit, as every American knows most of the words to this song, beginning from its unmistakable introduction.
Etta James released her version of "At Last" in 1961 with no real connotation other than the obvious representation of love and romance. Although the song made it to #2 on the charts, it was #2 on the Billboard Black Singles Chart. Upon the song's release, segregation was still existent in the United States and the civil rights movement was in its heyday. In the spring the song was released, the Ku Klux Klan was attacking freedom riders and other civil rights activists in Alabama. "At Last" was under scrutiny by the country's prejudicial white population and Etta James' dyed blonde hair did not help her cause.
"At Last" is a classic love song. Most of the lyrics in the song are typical for romantic songs of all time periods. "At last, my love has come along. My lonely days are over and life is like a song." The lyrics are revealing someone's feelings the moment they fall in love. It gives the tone that as soon as this person came into the singers life, it was completely changed for the better; the typical night and day tendency that most love songs represent. "Here we are in heaven, because you are mine at last". Many love songs use this metaphor of love being like heaven on Earth. The taste of the song is not too complex in Etta James' version.
On January 20th, 2009, Beyoncé Knowles, one of the most significant singers in the word today (who also happens to be African American), performed a rendering of "At Last" at President Barack Obama's inaugural ball. The performance redefined the song and recreated the impact that the song had on America. This performance changed the words "at last" from being about finally finding love to being about success and progress in the United States. By the end of the song, which was the President and first lady's first dance, the audience, Beyonce, the Obamas were all in tears.
Coincidentally, Etta James released the song in 1961, which was the same year that President Obama was born. In the fifty years of the song's existence, as well as Obama's life, the country endured so much change and the song reflected that. After Beyoncé performed the song, all kinds of meanings behind "At Last" were interpreted. "At Last" the black population is viewed as equal, "At Last" George Bush's presidency is over, "At Last" change is happening, "At Last" youth have a say in what happens in politics. All of these meanings transformed the song into an anthem for America's new leaf it had turned along with the election of President Obama.
"I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to rest my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known"
This portion of the song speaks to a huge population of the country who left as though they were living in a dream that a black president had been elected. The term "dream" has always been closely associated with civil rights in America, especially because of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" Speech. The tone in which Beyoncé presented the song at the inauguration was almost like saying that the dream of Dr. King had been achieved by Obama. "A thrill that I have never known" speaks to the fact that the country had never seen a black president and that it's a true honor, or thrill, to see one inaugurated.
The taste of "At Last" transformed and gained depth through the years, just like America. This song now can represent the huge strides in humanity that the United States of America has made in the past fifty years of its popularity. It almost accentuates how short of a time period that is as well, if the music from fifty years ago is still relevant today. By examining this song, it's obvious how important music is to American culture and how real the soundtrack to history can be.
The Artist Formerly Known as Thomas Gabel
Posted on December 20, 2013 by jfisher1294
Music is rarely just about making music. It can often be poked and prodded, dissected to reveal a deeper meaning laying within. Most often this can be done through the examination of a song's lyrics. When a person writes a song it is impossible for them to do so without revealing a bit of their own life, in intentionally or not. The way people then interpret lyrics and incorporate them into their own understanding of the world can send critique of the society we live in and also serve as a form of cultural capital. An overt example of both of these can be found in the words and context behind a new song by the punk band Against Me! called "True Trans Soul Rebel".
Last year Frank Ocean gained incredible renown for his declaration as being bisexual. This was a huge progressive leap for the hip-hop industry, where the majority of men are expected to conform to typical heterosexual stereotypes. Similarly, on May 31 Rolling Stone magazine published an interview with the singer of Against Me! who was then known as Thomas Gabel. In it, Tom made the revelation that he had long struggled with gender dysphoria and was officially going to start living as a woman. Before analyzing the song and it's implications it is important to understand exactly how gender, sex,sexuality work in the mind. Sex is whether you are biologically male or female. Sexuality describes your feelings of sexual and romantic attraction. Finally, gender describes the sex you really feel like you identify with and should belong to. As Tom, or as she likes to be called today Laura Jane Grace described in the interview:
"The cliché is that you're a woman trapped in a man's body, but it's not that simple. It's a feeling of detachment from your body and from yourself. And it's shitty, man. It's really fucking shitty."
While Laura isn't the first individual to come out as transgender in the history of music, she is certainly the most famous. After the interview Laura began undergoing hormonal treatment and dressing as the woman she felt she was. At the next show of Against Me! they played for the first time the title song of their upcoming album, due next month, called "Transgender Dysphoria Blues". Soon after the band digitally released single for the song "True Trans Soul Rebel", featuring Buffalo Bill the crossdressing serial killer from the film "Silence of the Lambs" as it's artwork. This is the first example of the song as a social commentary. Buffalo Bill, while stated to not be transgender in the book, is still characterized as wanting parts of a woman and villainized for it. This is similar to how in our society raising the issue of transgenderism is met with either discomfort or crude, dehumanizing jokes. The lyrics of the song, in a characteristically blunt fashion, go on to describe Lauren's struggles. For example, the first verse:
All dressed up and nowhere to go,
Walking the streets all alone.
Another night you wish you could forget,
Making yourself up as you go along
This describes the total alienation Laura felt from society. Despite efforts dress and act in ways expected of her, she still find themselves overwhelmed by loneliness. Other lines insinuate self-harm as a coping mechanism and a feeling of abandonment by God. This music imbues the listener with an understanding of the pains held by transgender individuals they may not have otherwise had.
Finally, Laura has become an inspirational figure to other transgender folks. As she says herself in the above episode of "House of Style", a show on MTV, if she had had a strong transgender role model she "would've felt saved". Her very presence on this show is a sign of society's growing acceptance of the transgender culture. This is the above-mentioned cultural capital. Laura's story is one of overcoming both her own personal demons and the cultural norms of both American and punk culture. Her story of success is one that can spread through both the punk and transgender community. This is what music is really capable of. As a final note, below is a documentary found on the BBC website featuring Laura and a number of other trans activists discussing issues they face and their own stories. If you want to learn more about what it is to be transgender, it's a great place to go.

No matter what the point they were trying to make, The Beatles always got it across. Whether it be for the social advancement or social regression of their population of followers.
The Beatles always seemed to be ahead of their time, whether it be about yellow submarines or becoming the egg man, they always succeeded in instilling hope in America that there is and will be a better tomorrow. The Beatles did not shy away from approaching the so called touchy subjects of the sixties not limited to but including; the Vietnam war, the rise of black power, the wide acceptance of drug use, fear of communism, the cold war … obviously they had their eggs in more then one basket.
When observing top 10 songs from when The Beatles were popular verse the top ten songs now, a sad conclusion is reached.
In the year 1968, the top songs consist of politically charged, opinionated, controversial lyrics while the top 10 list from 2012 shows songs about giving people your number. And of course this:
…which in a way in a social commentary itself, but one that for the sake of the current human population I do not want to analyze.
Where have all the great artists like The Beatles gone? It is not as though there are no politically charged debates occurring in current events. Maybe it stems from the ever increasing purposeful ignorance of these problems. People don't want to hear about problems anymore, they want to listen to fake and overdramatized relationships and love stories.
But as much as I complain, I can't deny having hundreds of these meaningless songs on my playlists. Well I guess The Beatles were right.
You say you want a revolution,
Well you know,
We all want to change the world.
Making your Career on Youtube- Meet Jenna Marbles
Posted on December 19, 2013 by jaylynn344
Freedom of Youtube: Creating your own job, free of pressure by advertisers
A rise to fame on YouTube is the result of the following: humor, musical talent, a shocking news story.
Jenna Marbles, the "queen of YouTube," is a highly influential individual, currently with ten million subscribers to her YouTube channel, and additional fans via facebook. She is a self-declared comedian; her general crowd is teenage girls who share in her day-to-day problems.
Jenna Mourey is better known as Jenna Marbles, using her pet's name as her given surname. A sports psychology major got her nowhere, but after her initial postings she earned recognition on Youtube. Her first video was "How to Trick People into Thinking You're Good-looking," which was recorded while she got ready for work.
Ms. Mourey currently lives in Los Angeles, and continues to make videos.
She makes a substantial living through the Youtube Partner Program, which gives her a portion of advertising profits that people watch before her videos.
Other groups and stars share similar stories with Mourey, including a group called ImprovEveryWhere and musicians like AJ Raphael.
What is important: despite more "official" offers, Mourey retains her original act: recording from her bedroom on daily issues, and chooses to retain her intellectual freedom: she decides what to put in her videos, how to post them, and what she says.
This intellectual freedom is not something that would have been possible without the internet and YouTube. On typical comedy shows on television, any show really, advertisers restrict the creativity of any producer. Were Jenna Marbles on television, she would be pushed out, even censored for her profanity. The beautiful thing about YouTube: she can keep making videos until the day she dies, an no one can stop her. Why? You can't control the internet.

Freedom and the Digital Frontier in the World of Journalism
Posted on December 19, 2013 by sarahrod8
The digital frontier today has completely changed the world of journalism. The subject of journalism has gone far beyond just the local newspaper being printed each morning and tossed onto driveways. Today most people retrieve the news and hear about new news stories on the internet before the story is even written for print.
Thanks to the help of social media journalism has enter the digital frontier with its very own sites and incorporation of media tools to only enhance the stories and coverage surrounding the news. The use of twitter allows for different news sources to post and share breaking news to millions within seconds. Facebook has gone from sharing personal information and thoughts to people sharing and posting links to different news articles that range from serious news articles to comical news satires. There are even sites that are designated to only news coverage such as Cover It Live, a website that allows you to use tweets and posts regarding a topic to create a news story full of interactive links.
http://www.coveritlive.com/
In today's day in age, the average journalist has a world of outlets to forward and translate the news to their audiences. There is much more to learn in the world of journalism as well. Many journalists today need to be able to learn skills that branch beyond just writing for print media. They have to be familiar with sites such as Twitter, and CoverItLive and also understand how to strategic post and share their story for the best sharing quality. Today, journalists spark the news and the audience shares it and passes it along different branches of social media. It's fair to say that the evening news isn't the same reporting as it use to be.
The emergence and use of new forms of media in the world of journalism opens up a door of freedom for reporters to choose how they will report and share the news they wish. The approach and style of incorporating different media aspects can influence how a story is released and influenced by the desired audience. With such freedom comes a new style of competitive nature in the world of media journalism to develop a style that utilizes all that the internet has to offer and spreads the news quickly and effectively.

A Social Commentary of Bollywood
Posted on December 19, 2013 by jaiminvek50
"What kind of music do you listen to?" This is one of the few questions people ask each. Each persons taste in music is so diverse that it cannot be confined to a certain type of genre or song. What one person finds enjoyable and relaxing, may cause annoyance to someone else in the world of music. My taste in music has been greatly expanded thanks to my Indian background. In America, we have Hollywood as the movie capital. But in India, Bollywood is the movie capital and they have a different approach to films and music altogether.
To understand how Bollywood music industry in films have evolved, you have to look at two different time periods: the past and the present.
If we look at this music video, we see that there is very little touching or close interaction between the man and the woman. Traditionally, this is how the general Indian community favored the movies and music, whether it was a romance or action film. Additionally, music was sung by the actors/actresses during the film. So Bollywood films are basically equivalent to musicals. But in recent years, Bollywood has been evolving (some would say for the worst) in how they make their movie and music videos. This films and musical performances was a way to display the culture and heritage of India.
This music video is completely different from the first one. In a sense, some would say that Bollywood is becoming more Westernized. If we analyze this video, we see many changes. First, we see that the women's clothes have become more "revealing." While showing a woman's belly button and such is not a big deal to Americans, trust me when I say that the Indian grandmothers are making rude comments about the women who do this. Secondly, we see a closer interaction among the men and women to promote more of a "sexy" feel to the video. The filmmakers feel that this will keep the audience pleased and interested. Lastly, while this song many not have much, many songs have started to incorporate the English language into the lyrics. I feel that this makes the songs less relatable for Indians as a whole.
I think that it is necessary for the filmmakers to continue the Hindu traditions to show independence from Westernization. What many people do not know is that Bollywood was born during the nation's struggles against the British. Bollywood is a symbol of freedom from foreign influence.

Runaway Love
Posted on December 19, 2013 by Fierceday
Runaway Love by Ludacris and Mary J. Blige is a very powerful song that tackles the subject of kids running away from their homes because of their negative environment. He tells the story of three females and the obstacles they face in their home life. He first introduces us to Lisa, a 9 year old girl and the bad relationship she has with her mother.
Mama is on drugs getting high up in the kitchen
Bringing home men at different hours of the night
Starting with some laughs — usually ending in a fight
Sneaking in her room while her mama's knocked out
Trying to have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch'
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her
Drugs and alcohol are very strong and addictive. Engaging in them can cause mothers to forget about caring and nurturing for their kids. They are careless to their surroundings and don't realize the harm they're doing to their children. When her mother doesn't believe her, Lisa realizes that she's alone. She has no one. Her only escape is to runaway.
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get her clothes and pack
She say she's about to run away and never come back.
Ludacris mentions these lines at the end of each verse with different stories. He tries to show that the only escape that these young girls see is "Running Away" They don't feel safe in their homes and leads them to live life with guilt. They never want to return because their home is not a safe place as its supposed to be.
The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid
Knowing her mama will blow it all outta proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Erica is stuck up in the world on her own
The picture above shows Erica, a pregnant teenager attempting to return home to have the help of her parents after her baby's father leaves her. When she returns she realizes that her family is in a worst situation then her. Her father is committing domestic violence. She doesn't feel safe or protected in her home, so she decides to go ahead and runaway.
The very important subject that Ludacris touches in this song is the thoughts of young innocent individuals who think there is no escape in life but to runaway. He tries to approach this by writing a song than can help them cope and not feel alone.
Sometimes I feel like running away myself,
So do me a favor right now and close your eyes,
And picture us running away together,
when we come back everything is gonna be okay,
Open your eyes…….
He helps them to feel like they're not alone. He tries to assimilate with them and prove to them that they can't run away. They can do it emotionally but they will eventually have to return to their life with everything being okay. Ludacris touches a topic that is very delicate in lives of teenagers. There are probably many people, not only teenagers that go through life problems. Sometimes it can be the alcohol that affects them and their life decisions or sometimes just their anger. Many people have felt like running away before. He tries to explain that Running Away is not the only way to solve these issues.
The Digital Humanities and the Knowledge it can Preserve
My personal Digital Humanities Definition
Digital humanities: devoted to understanding the many ways in which digital platforms increase our connectivity to the world economically, socially , and how we can benefit. I attended an information session about the program for Media Culture Studies; it seemed to teach one how to use features of the internet, such as blogging. My interest ended at that point, because I have never blogged and lacked curiosity.
During the discussion in class we talked about digital literacy as being able to navigate all of the opportunities on the web, such as blogging. My definition is a little different because I tried to think about the benefits of the Digital humanities, rather than just the process
The site I found seems to define the digital humanities as an open source of scholarly communication. My definition does not seem to cover this. I have forgotten that one can benefit from the digital humanities intellectually as well. My definition is tied to connectivity and social advantages of business, not education. This online Journal has different volumes of information about the digital humanities; some selections brought me to diagrams about analyzing and writing a paper. I selected a journal, and read the following article: "An Electric Current of the Imagination: What the Digital Humanities Are and What they Might Become," by Andrew Prescott, from the Journal called Art. Prescott discusses how the digital humanities has become an intellectual movement, which began with the digital imaging of books. He goes on to discuss poetry and displays a picture, creating a digital representation of the Internet. This person's interest lies in preserving all knowledge in a few thousand petabytes (a petabyte is a quadrillion bytes of memory). I suppose this is an avid goal of the digital humanities, to make knowledge accessible to all, online, as opposed to locked up in libraries all over the world.

What's a party without the Cha Cha Slide?
For anyone that has been to a party with a DJ probably has danced and sung along to the Cha Cha Slide, a group dance that tells the dancers what moves to make next. The directorial number, first recorded by DJ Casper, is one of the most popular group dance songs of the last decade. But what makes this simple straight forward group dance mix such an addictive success?
The answer is simple, literally. The Cha Cha Slide's success comes with its simplicity. The fact that every person at a party whether it be a 8-year-old girl to her 85-year-old grandfather can follow along to the lyrics of the Cha Cha Slide and dance along. What the Cha Cha slide has done for the world of dance parties, proms, sweet sixteens and anniversary parties has changed the way our culture reacts to group dances in general and what it has done for the environment at any dance party.
Many people have heard of the international hit the Macarena, which became a hit throughout the early 90s. Likewise, for those that have dance along to the latin group dance have also taken part in dancing to numbers like the Electric Slide, and the famous Chicken Dance. For the Cha Cha slide a much wider audience is captured here, seeing as it appeals to dancers of all ages.
What sets apart the appeal of group dance numbers at parties such as the Cha Cha Slide or the Cotton Eye Joe is it's ability to bring everyone at the party to the dance floor. Everyone has a different style of dance, like a language and tone all their own. As for dance, there are only so many that can hold a beat, or swing their hips to the music just the right way to be considered socially acceptable. However, the Cha Cha Slide takes the pressure of having the most interesting or even just the most acceptable dance moves for you by telling dancers what to do next. The Cha Cha Slide takes the simplest of dance moves such as sliding to the left, the right or doing a criss cross. Any dancer doesn't have to think about what to do next because they know that they will be told.
On a grander scale the playing of the Cha Cha Slide, or any group dance song for that matter has the ability to bring everyone together at a social gathering. Instantly any current inhibitions, awkward dance moves, or age barrier at a party are removed and allow people to come together and simply have some fun.
While there are a number of different songs and genres also comes those that bring everyone together. If anyone is to study the different styles of taste in music has to also study those songs that bring people all together. In a party setting the ability for these songs to bring together an entire room demonstrates the importance of people feeling comfortable and as though belong. The Cha Cha Slide has an never ending connection to the memories surrounding those birthday parties, sweet sixteens, weddings, anniversary parties and proms where people danced together to those lyrics. Those lyrics of "how low can you go" and "cha cha real slow now" relate to a time and place as well as a general memory of dancing and having fun with those around you.
Through these memories of dancing to the Cha Cha Slide comes the establishment of tradition in American culture. The simplicity of a song such as the Cha Cha Slide can open a spiral of memories that span throughout a person's childhood. The Cha Cha Slide is establishing the significance of place that a person can return just like everyone else when they make their way to the dance floor upon hearing the first few words. The Cha Cha Slide has established a level of similarity, tradition, and has created many memories for music fans and dancers and non-dancers of all ages.
West Coast Rap as social commentary
Posted on December 19, 2013 by joseman210
Ever since hip-hop was created in 1970's South Bronx, it became part of culture with the individuals that produced hip-hop music and those who consumed it. NWA was a group of 5 to 6 rappers that joined to make a hip-hop group, but they made sure to use their music to create a conscious, whether or not the listeners were ready to hear the content of the songs. One of their most famous songs that was released in 1988 is "Fuck Tha Police," since it was written about the police department and their racial profiling that leads to unneeded arrests of African American males. Ice cube, a member of NWA, raps "You'd rather see, me in the pen/ than me and Lorenzo rolling in a Benz-o," which was a violent critique of the police and the United States' corrupted political system. NWA strategically wrote the song as if each rapper was preaching their side of their story to a jury, and ultimately the judge decides to give the verdict of the police officer getting arrested. The policeman that was described as corrupted, harsh, and racist throughout the song was then pleading for justice for himself when all along he was convicting the rappers unjustly because of their race. "Fuck Tha Police" was the first song to publicly express how African American males felt about the ongoing racism in the political system, which is why the song is still praised for it's social consciousness that continues to be analyzed by generations after generations.
Recently, hip-hop is still holding on to its origins and artists are focusing more on relevant social topics, instead of producing songs about glamorizing money, sex, and drugs. Kendrick Lamar is one of the recent artists that has been praised because of his lyrics by critiques and fellow hip-hop legends. Dr. Dre from NWA first signed Kendrick Lamar to his label, Aftermath Entertainment, after listening to one of his first mixtapes because Dr. Dre related to Kendrick Lamar's lyrics. Kendrick Lamar's "ADHD" on his Section.80 mixtape shows how Generation Y is the product of technology and how fast it is to get what you want to get to the next notion, which makes us have short attention spans like the symptom of having Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Kendrick Lamar raps, "Who gives a fuck? We never do listen/Unless it comes with an 808/a melody and some hoes," which describes that individuals only listen to what their music says and particularly if they have videos with explicit content and women in skimpy outfits to catch their attention. Kendrick Lamar is writing lyrics like this to make the listener snap out of the technological trance and realize that there are serious issues that are ongoing around them.
Besides writing about the technological culture that we are living in, he also writes about what happens to individuals when they get "too much of a good thing". In his breakout single "Swimming Pools" it seems as if he is rapping about drinking and getting heavily intoxicated with a grand amount of liquor that he metaphorically calls a "pool full of liquor", when in reality it is about how alcoholism ran rampant in his family. Kendrick Lamar raps, "Now I done grew up Round some people living their lifes in bottles Granddaddy had the golden flask Back stroke every day in Chicago," which people misuse alcohol as an escape from real-life problems and drag others down in their overindulgence. He also raps, "Why you babysitting only two or three shots I'mma show you how to turn it up a notch First you get a swimming pool full of liquor then you dive in it", about the overuse and the disregard for limits that people exercise when drinking. This song is relatable to any age group, whether it is witnessing alcoholism in your family at a young age like Kendrick, picking up the bottle for the first time as a teen, or being an adult and not being able to establish your limits. The theme of overindulgence in "Swimming Pools" can be analyzed literally to alcoholism, or can be extended to explain any overindulgence in life and how having too much of anything isn't ideal.


Communication between vehicles (Vehicle-2-X Communication – V2X) forms the basis for future-orientated solutions to increase safety and efficiency on the road. By means of secure exchange of information messages, crucial information such as warnings of an approaching emergency vehicle or dangerous situations on the road can be communicated to the driver in good time. On the one hand, secure authentication of vehicles in traffic plays a crucial role in V2X communication in order to prevent any external misuse. On the other hand, anonymised approaches need to ensure that driver and car cannot be monitored. Sustainable business models for V2X communication can only be developed on the basis of trust in the technology and secure identities.
To safely operate these innovative driver assistance functions, new concepts and methods for the use of secure identities in cars are required. Functions such as authentication, authorisation, invoicing and auditing – the latter stands for examination in the technical terminology – go hand in hand with secure identification. These functions create the necessary trust in the data that is to be communicated and enable clearly identifiable communication relations.
Fraunhofer FOKUS is working on V2X-related security and privacy mechanisms based on cryptographic algorithms and promotes specification and standardization of V2X communication related security mechanisms in the context of ETSI and C2C-CC.

What to Do After an Arrest at Robins AFB
If you have been arrested on suspicion of DUI, possession of a controlled substance, sexual assault, theft, or any other crime at Robins AFB there are a number of steps you need to take immediately. Following an arrest, you should:
Exercise Your Article 31 Rights - The Right to Remain Silent. Once you have been arrested, you have the right to remain silent, and it is important that you do so. Air Force OSI or Military Police will likely use a number of different tactics to try to get you to admit guilt, but you do not have to (and should not) say anything that could be used against you until you speak with an attorney.
Avoid Speaking with Anyone About Your Case. In addition to exercising your right to remain silent with the Air Force OSI or Military Police, you should also avoid speaking with anyone else about your case. Cellmates, friends, and even family members could become witnesses for the government, and it is imperative that you avoid giving prosecutors access – directly or indirectly – to anything that could be used against you.

I knew I wanted to be a singer at age nine, and so I practiced singing every day. At age 13, I learned to play guitar and began writing songs. My mission: write a song of love, peace, hope that would heal the world. A grand dream that led me on a journey of frustration and despair. Although I was awarded a scholarship by the Songwriter's Hall of Fame as an Abe Oleman songwriting winner back in my heyday in New York City, my music recordings went unsigned and unnoticed by my intended audience: the world.
When I was a teenager, I also knew I wanted to write books and vowed to have my first published by age 50. I was not certain how to write my message as a novel. In my 30s, I thought about writing my memoirs. I began drafting at least five different books, but finished none . . . such a daunting task, and if you don't know what you really want to say, impossible.
I was frustrated, depressed, and confused about how viable I was as a singer-songwriter and never "made it," but I forged on for many years believing in my talent. At age 38, I finally quit and started a "real" career. I went from a messenger of love through songs to a defender of civil rights as a criminal defense investigator. I investigate criminal cases on behalf of persons charged with violent crimes on county, state, and federal levels (including death penalty homicide cases).
Also, being a female private detective, a sub-motive of my writing is to inspire and empower women to seek careers of interest without regard to gender, moving beyond gender stereotypes and into whatever "man's career" they desire, and then feel free to write about it. My path was a most round-about and unexpected journey to becoming an author.
A friend told me I needed to get on Twitter and start building a following before releasing my book. So, I did. Not only has creating a social media presence promoted the book, it has promoted me as a defense investigation expert. Families of "wrongfully convicted" persons have been reaching out to me to investigate their cases (pro bono, of course). So now that I'm doing that, they are offering me content for my upcoming book in return. Media outlets are reaching out to me to contribute content for their blogs and write articles on best practices for investigation. I also write commentary on the human aspects of the criminal justice system and what it means to work on behalf of defense. My book turned out to be a giant business card for expanding my brand.
I have discovered that writing non-fiction is irresistible when you have a passion to say something you feel is important. Of course, you must also honor your own voice in saying the words out loud. I can imagine for fiction writers, that expressing an emotion or fantasy in words feels as freeing and satisfying as singing a song you composed before an audience. It is therapy, and it allows others a voice of their own to do the same.
Best part of all, I am finally sharing my message with the world through my writing. Ahhh … this feels so wonderful. Though my bank account has not yet been enriched, my heart has. I feel accomplished and I know that my writing is making a positive difference in people's lives. I finally hear my own voice as the world is reflecting it back to me. Thank you!

Modernist Abstracted Figure, Artist Print
1940s Etching

Sam Hugh Harris
This 1940s etching on paper figure is by artist, poet and writer, Sam Hugh Harris who painted in the great traditions of Modern Art including Impressionism and Symbolism. He was one of the longest standing members of the reputable Carmel Art Association. At a young age, Sam started his vocation under the tutelage of his father Sam Hyde Harris (1889-1977) who distinguished himself as an early California plein air landscape painter. Sam graduated from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Carmel Art Institute, studying figurative and still life painting. He was the pupil of John Cunningham and Alexander Archipenko and befriended John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath). He was also part of a group of Monterey artists called "The New Group". Sam lived, painted and exhibited in Paris and Rome throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Electric motors driving fans and blowers in commercial and industrial fan applications typically run full-time and represent one of – if not THE – largest contributor to the end users' power bills. Hence, producers of commercial and industrial fans and blowers are being driven by their customers to provide more energy-efficient systems.
To date, the largest obstacle to adoption of the synchronous reluctance motors in air handling applications has been cost. ABB's magnet-free design provides permanent magnet motor performance at a first cost that is more comparable to an induction motor, yielding significant energy savings and producing a very attractive payback on the small first cost premium.
Frame size is also often a consideration. The smaller the motor is, the lighter the construction can be designed.
When a 55 kW AC Induction motor failed operation, SPIT engineers worked closely together with the client to gain energy efficiency. SPIT used an ABB Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) of 55 kW together with an ABB ACS880 VSD. Since the original motor was a framesize 250 and the ABB SynRM motor was a framesize 225 an adapter plate has to be used to fit the new motor.
After completion of the installation and commissioning of the drive system we measured the energy usage of the new motor + drive combination; within eight months after start-up the client has a full pay-back of the modernisation of this system.

Calais attended the University of Miami. He graduated from The U in 2008 with a degree in Advertising and Marketing. Following a season with 10.5 sacks, Calais was awarded the 2006 Jack Harding Team MVP Award. His 10.5 sacks rank 9th all time in a single season for a Hurricane, his 19.5 career stats rank 11th. Graduation was a top priority for Calais in college and though he had football eligibility left, Calais decided he would enter the NFL draft in 2008. In January of 2015, Calais donated $1.6 million to the University of Miami to establish a scholarship in his name, the largest gift from a former student athlete in the school's history. The school renamed the defensive line meeting room after Calais in honor of his gift.
Calais Campbell is a 2X Pro Bowl defensive end for the Jacksonville Jaguars. After spending nine seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Calais signed a 4-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars in March 2017. He brings leadership and a dominant defensive presence to the teal and black. A second-round selection in the 2008 NFL draft, Calais played nine years in the Valley of the Sun, where he has served two years as defensive captain. In 2015, Calais was selected to his second Pro Bowl, earning second-team All-Pro honors in 2014. His 50.5 career sacks placed him third on the Cardinals franchise all-time sacks list.
Calais' off-the-field interests extend to writing, producing, and broadcasting. While in Arizona he was the co-host of the Big Red Rage radio show, and now co-hosts Jaguars All Access. Following the 2008 season, Calais attended the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program at the Harvard Business School. In 2012 he was one of 20 current and former NFL players who took part in the first NFL Pro Hollywood Boot Camp at Universal Studios. In 2016, CBS Television announced it was developing a family comedy based on Calais' life, in which Calais will act as an executive producer.
Calais has established himself as one of the NFL's leading philanthropists through his work with the team and his CRC Foundation. A two-time Cardinals "Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year" selection, (2014, 2011) Calais has made it his mission to give back to the Arizona community through team events and his foundation work. Calais has also partnered with United Way and the NFL to promote reading and the importance of education. This award is exclusively voted on by NFL players. Campbell was one of 10 finalists for the honor, and was selected by his peers. Campbell is a fan favorite, true leader and veteran presence in a locker room that seems to be short on those kinds of guys.
In addition to his prominence on the field as a pass rusher and run stopper, Campbell is highly active in the community. He runs the CRC Foundation (named after his late father, Charles Richard Campbell). The foundation teaches youth critical life skills through a variety of mediums such as sports, vocational platforms, financial training, health and nutrition education and more. The Bart Starr Award was first given in 1989 to Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Steve Largent. Recent winners of the award include Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Benjamin Watson, Aaron Rodgers, Thomas Davis and Jason Witten.
Campbell will receive the award on Saturday, Feb. 2 in Atlanta at the 32nd annual Super Bowl Breakfast, which is one day before Super Bowl LIII. Former NFL head coaches Tony Dungy and Dan Reeves, and former player Anthony Munoz, will also be featured at the event. Campbell is the first Jaguar to win the Bart Starr Award. He is also Jacksonville's nominee for the 2018 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, and is one of eight finalist for that award, which is given to the player that most exemplifies outstanding sportsmanship on the field. The winner will be announced Super Bowl weekend.

SpiceJet swings to Q3 profit on revenue uptick following Max settlement
By Alfred Chua2022-02-21T06:29:00+00:00
India's SpiceJet returned to profitability in its third-quarter earnings on the back of "significant improvement" in domestic travel demand.
The low-cost carrier also disclosed a significant sum it recieved from the settlement with Boeing over the 737 Max grounding, though airline auditors qualified their opinion on the way the settlement sum was calculated in the financial results.
For the three months to 31 December 2021, SpiceJet reported an operating profit of Rs1 billion ($13.4 million), reversing the Rs570 million loss it reported during the same period in 2020.
The carrier reported a net profit of Rs233 million, against the Rs570 million net loss in 2020.
Revenue during the quarter rose nearly 43% year on year to Rs26.8 billion, outpacing a 33% increase in costs to Rs25.8 billion.
Both passenger and cargo revenues rose during the quarter, as India eased domestic travel restrictions.
SpiceJet disclosed Rs4.2 billion in what it terms "other income", which came from a settlement it made with Boeing over the grounding of the 737 Max. SpiceJet is the sole operator of the 737 Max and has 13 examples in its fleet.
India cleared the type to resume operations in August 2021, ending a two-year grounding.
In its latest financial results, SpiceJet says claims recoverable for the grounding amounted to Rs15.5 billion.
However, SpiceJet auditors Walker Chandiok & Co state that the airline "should have recognised such accommodations in its entirety during the quarter ended 31 December 2021 on completion of settlement".
SpiceJet adds that the settlement was a "significant event", which will allow it to bring the grounded jets back to operation, and "paves way for the induction" of newer 737 Max aircraft.
The narrowbody, of which SpiceJet has 155 on order, will be key in the airline's "stronger comeback" in 2022.
It states: "The airline is now aiming for a stronger comeback in 2022 by utilising and expanding its 737 Max fleet for better yield and flying experience, launching new customer centric services, optimising daily operations based on IT and expanding network both domestically and internationally."
SpiceJet widens Q1 loss; eyes $200 million fundraising
Indian low-cost operator SpiceJet is "engaging with investment bankers" to potentially raise up to $200 million in fresh funds, even as it widened its quarterly losses, punished by soaring fuel costs and a depreciating Indian Rupee.
SpiceJet plans foray into drone delivery services
Indian low-cost carrier SpiceJet has announced plans to use drones to deliver medical and other essential supplies to remote communities in the country.
SpiceJet restarts 737 Max operations in India
SpiceJet has recommenced operations with its Boeing 737 Max 8s, with the type returning to India's skies for the first time since it was grounded in early 2019.

I purchased a few items from Zalora using gift vouchers that I received from a writing gig a few months back. It's only now that I was able to post the pictures.
These are the items that I got from shopping online. The floral blouse is a little bit small but I didn't bother to have it replaced. I might just have it repaired.
