12/27/2023 0 Comments Cloudburst eric whitacre![]() The little moments that get passed up on Cloudburst the first time through, also change the way we look at the work. In the little moments, when we realize the scope of the world, life takes on a different shape of beauty. Suddenly to me that snowstorm didn’t mean just bad driving conditions, it meant family and hope. It alters perceptions on life, it changes the way one looks at the world. In the same way, this polyphonic work, this collection of choral pieces, gives strength to beauty. One snowflake is frail and weak, but an avalanche is a crushing force. This collection of choral works is saturated with great moments, its beauty drips from each crescendo, each held tone, each key change or harmony. But it can also be uplifting and optimistic, just as “Sleep” rises from a low drone of baritone to soaring altos. ![]() Cloudburst lends itself to experience in life, its textured and sometimes heartbreaking. The transcendental cascade of voices fall like the snow, fragile but strong enough to support the weight of one another. As I watched the snowflakes glimmer as they passed through the street lamp, the yellow light wavering radiant and casting shadows against the undisturbed front lawn, I recalled the tranquil “Water Night”. With each passage brimming with vitality and beauty, the work ingrains itself onto your memory. The main point of my story to introduce this piece was to show that this music is something that ties itself to experience. For example, the very quiet last chord contains a very low “C”, that is subtlely engrossing. “Lux aurumque” is a gorgeous finale that must be heard either through headphones or very good speakers in order to pick up its full scale. Each piece is performed to perfection from the choir and the result is something truly special. Its grandiose and stirringly beautiful, something that perpetuates through the entire work. ![]() Using percussion, piano and hand claps, Whitacre builds momentum as the storm brews in a minor key before it breaks into light as the upper registers change into a major key. The only moment where something other than vocals are used comes in the second half of the title track. I could also tell you the compositional make-up of this choral work, but really there is only one word that can describe this music: humbling. I could tell you that as a composer, Eric Whitacre is known for using odd chord progressions and inversions that catch the listener off guard at first. To describe the music is to not do it justice. The work is starkly epic with polyphonic voices reverberating through the ceilings of the cathedral, and yet this ode to God pines to the individual, as if each voice is reaching out to you and only you. This is the type of feeling that Eric Whitacres’ Cloudburst induces upon its listener. Looking up through the limbs of giant skeletons and into the dim grey sky I suddenly felt very small and yet very alive. The white puffs dotting the horizon like an impressionistic painting. The lamps on the lawns of the houses were slowly choked into the abyss of falling snow. I rose to my feet and looked down towards the end of my street. After a few drinks and chasing each other around for about an hour we lay in the snow smiling and soaked. My brother was down for a visit and as if grasping at fleeting child hood moments we grabbed a football and went running into the snow plagued streets with our Dad. ![]() The first night of the new decade brought upon us a foot or two of snow, creating a crystalline picture of winter. Last night there was a major snow storm in my neck of the woods. Review Summary: One night in the Sepulchral City.

12/27/2023 0 Comments Medusa goddessShe was just another pretty girl who met very unfortunate circumstances. Medusa was neither evil before her transformation, nor after. Even the King of the Gods, Zeus, had very questionable morals and integrity when it came to his behavior. They were worshipped for their might and that alone. Many people think of Gods as benevolent or kind but the Greek Gods were far from that. The “hero” infiltrated the Gorgon’s lair and killed her in her sleep. She wasn’t terrorizing anyone except for the people who trespassed into her home. The worst part was when Perseus was sent to the Island of the Gorgons to kill her. Not only that, but Athena punished her even though Poseidon raped Medusa inside Athena’s temple. She didn’t willingly participate in Poseidon’s lust and was raped by the God simply because of her beauty. The Greeks believed that she was a monster and antagonized her even though she did nothing wrong. Was Medusa A Victim?īy modern standards, anyone who read the story of Medusa would see that she was nothing but a victim to the Gods. ![]() This was because, unlike the Titans who were immortal Gods, Medusa was nothing but a mortal Gorgon. Some people do refer to Medusa as a Titan but the common belief was that she wasn’t. Though Medusa was a cousin of the Titans as she was born to the Primordial Gods, Phorcys and Keto, she wasn’t a Titan herself because that was a title reserved for the children of Uranus and Gaia. There were in-fact cousins of the Titans though due to their heritage… Was Medusa A Titan? She was never considered to be a God either as none of the Gorgon sisters were worshipped as such. Though Medusa was born to two Primordial Gods, was weirdly a mortal while her sisters were immortals. Using Athena’s Aegis as a reflective shield against the Gorgon’s petrifying gaze, Perseus managed to reach Medusa to decapitate her.Īfter that, Perseus would return Athena’s Aegis along with the head of Medusa which the Goddess attached to her Aegis, making it an even more formidable weapon than it already was. There, Medusa was soundly asleep as the hero slowly approached her. Perseus, with the help of Hermes and Athena, reached the land of the Gorgons. This is where the story of Perseus comes in as Polydectes, the King of Seriphos, tried to get rid of him by asking him to get the head of Medusa. It was then that Medusa’s hair was turned into serpents and the once beautiful mortal was turned into the monster that we know of today. Instead of blaming Poseidon who raped the maiden, Athena punished Medusa for flaunting herself indecently in her sacred temple. There, she was raped and impregnated by the God right in front of Athena’s eyes which incurred the Goddess’ wrath. ![]() She was so beautiful that even the God of the Sea, Poseidon, fell in love with her and decided to lure her to Athena’s temple. She was commonly praised for the glory of her hair which was described as “the best part of all her charm”. What happened to Medusa that turned her into the snake-human hybrid that’s feared by all? The Tragic Tale of Medusaīorn as one of the three Gorgon sisters to the Primordial Gods Phorcys and Keto, Medusa was a beautiful mortal born into a family of hideous siblings. The Gorgon was considered to be blessed among her kind until tragedy struck her and changed her life forever. To think that someone as monstrous as Medusa was once a beautiful mortal is quite hard to believe. Her family was considered to be very hideous but Medusa was blessed with beauty until her unfortunate mistake forced Athena to punish her. Medusa was once one of the three Gorgon sisters, who were born to the primordial Gods Phorcys and Keto. Who exactly was the Gorgon before her transformation into the monster she is known as today? It was believed that Medusa was once a mortal but a mistake turned her into a hideous Gorgon. ![]() The Gorgon, Medusa, was one of the most famous creatures in Greek mythology but she wasn’t always a monster. 12/26/2023 0 Comments Winter unicorn coloring pages![]() Simply click the image or link provided to download the coloring sheet.

12/26/2023 0 Comments Devil may cry 5 platforms![]() That he’s as compelling as he is, despite his drippy, dour mood, says a lot for the technical skill of his design.ĭante, meanwhile, is as he has ever been although, it’s worth noting that he is everything he has ever been. There’s a tricky tension between protecting V, who is vulnerable to all attacks, and flitting between familiars to attack from range. There is Griffon, a vulture that spits bolts of lightning Shadow, a panther that pounces in for close swipes and Nightmare, a stone golem who adopts a scorched-earth strategy. Fortunately, he doesn’t do any fighting he summons a trio of demon familiars to do his dirty work. Nor is he much to listen to, speaking in the sort of coarse whisper that creeps from a hospital bed. V isn’t much to look at, with stringy limbs, sandals, and an oily mop of black hair. Nero’s grappling hooks suture together attacks across open spaces, while combination moves require precision and a good memory, and all depend on your reflexes, lest an errant claw or gnashing tooth take you out of flow.īy way of further variation, you also play as series protagonist Dante, and newcomer V. (That game’s dynamic camera frames the action here, and occasionally obscures it.) Each encounter is a canvas for creative violence. Clashes have been tinkered with and honed, the slow, series-long improvements cut with flashes of Ninja Theory’s DmC: Devil May Cry. Thus the combat isn’t in service of killing but in building your combo meter – ravening up your foes and climbing from a ‘D’ rank to an ‘S’ and beyond, as a junkie might chase a high. Ludicrous though the cut scenes are – all pumped-up and strung out on swagger – they are to be treated as an instruction manual. It’s a world in thrall to style, a world in which a team of armed police can’t fend off a swarm of demonic bugs with boring old bullets, but Nico can fell one by stubbing out a cigarette between its eyes. Indeed, the series has always catered to those already drunk on its particular brand of lunacy, and the first thing you notice in Devil May Cry 5 is the refinement of that madness. These are cooked up by weaponsmith Nico, a freckle-faced Southerner who grafts new meaning onto the word ‘armoury.’ The pair have franchised their own mobile branch of the titular demon-hunting agency, and they hurtle through the streets in a white RV bearing their business name in bright blue neon. He has a sword with a hilt like the handlebar of a motorbike, to be revved until red-hot a revolver with two barrels and, just when you thought he might be over-compensating, an array of cybernetic arms, each with its own propulsive powers. In place of a gardener with sufficiently biblical shears, we have hero Nero, who, despite having his arm hacked off, is hardly short-handed. Or, more specifically, Hell’s front garden: we have brambles wrapped round buildings, a legion of infernal insects, and an enormous, bloodthirsty tree cutting upwards into the clouds. At the beginning of Devil May Cry 5, the city of Red Grave – which looks like London if it grew out its Gothic patches – is besieged by the forces of Hell. 12/26/2023 0 Comments Right wing pro hindutva“The enemy within must be dealt with 100%,” he said. In it, Sadhguru called for a “solution” to the militant violence that India has faced in the past and continues to face, particularly in the Kashmir Valley. This came out in the open in his recent (and second) interview with Times Now’s Navika Kumar. In fact, the entirety of Sadhguru’s approach lies in the peaceful demeanour that he projects with such finesse – so much so that even the loudest anchors on Indian TV turn down their volumes while interviewing him.īut behind his seemingly benign, humanistic preachings hides a philosophy of retribution, exclusion and intolerance. With his abstract, yet calmly-delivered rants about moral philosophy, spiritual thought and ideal practice, Sadhguru delivers a sombre edge to the militant spirit of Hindutva politics. He provides a universalistic philosophical mooring to a kind of politics that is otherwise very earthly and sectarian. Sadhguru’s utility for chest-thumping Hindutva nationalists is unique and specific. So, no surprise here, the guru did not take much time to become a broadcast hit in a country that is currently on a nationalistic high. In this form and shape, Sadhguru is a blessing for India’s hypernationalist, pro-BJP cabal who now have a popular spiritual figure to validate their politics and take it to a larger audience. A soft-spoken guru with the textbook flowing beard who converses in a measured and patient tone, he exudes timeless wisdom, and at times, even drops “expert” comments on geostrategy and geopolitics. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, Hindutva nationalism’s in-house mystic and cultural icon, is an intriguing character. 12/26/2023 0 Comments Datagrip import csvI didn't find anything anywhere on how to automate the creation of resource pools from an existing cluster.

Though at this point it would have been quicker to simply write a script to parse the csv, and create insert statements.
