This bird would grow, learn, and at its peak it would burst into flame, dissolving into ashes to be born anew. The phoenix from Persian mythology is a great example of fire. Light, moving ornaments reflect the life and joy which a Christmas tree represents.įire stands for restorative change, for the shedding of the old and creation of new. A heavy ornament would pull down the branches, making them look burdened and ponderous. A passing person by a Christmas tree causes the ornaments to turn on their bead bases, showing another facet, bringing the tree into life, dollops of color against a steady green backdrop. A gentle breeze drifting in through an open window will set the mobile lazily spinning, allowing the cranes or other shapes to waltz and turn. Wind origami are created to be light, airy, and most importantly, able to move at the slightest whim.Ī wind origami is meant to be light and delicate. In origami, wind is represented by the hanging shapes - the window ornaments, the Christmas tree ornaments, and most especially the mobiles. Wind is the smell of salt air on a gentle breeze, luring us onto that sailing ship to another shore. Wind symbolizes movement, change, the flow of ideas, the dance of life, the progress we all make with every minute. The end result should be stationary, fixed. This allows you to bend and shape each stem into exactly the shape you wish, to create your finished floral arrangement. This is why, for example, my origami flowers are created with fairly thick green pipe cleaners as stems. A vase of beautiful iris flowers which you arranged "just so" in a vase should stay in that configuration, not move around into disarray whenever a gentle breeze came in through the window. If you had an elegant crane sitting on your desk at work, you would not want it blowing away every time someone came in through your door! Instead you would create it with thick, textured paper, full of detail and heft. To represent all of these emotions, earth origami are generally made in a solid, sturdy manner. Travelers who return to their home shores often feel emotional when they once again make contact with their native soil. Every culture has phrases in it about "coming from the earth, returning to the earth" or "permanent as stone". Origami which is created to "sit" on a surface falls into the earth category. Here are origami to represent each of these four areas.Įarth represents stability, a strong foundation, the long-lasting power of a mountain, the rich nutrients of garden soil. The natural symbols of earth, wind, fire, and water date back to the Greek culture and even before. You can find these symbols used in native American cultures, oriental cultures, the Hindu, Buddhism, and most other major religions. The natural world is usually divided up into four quadrants - earth, wind, fire, and water. Many cultures and religions have treasured the connections man has with the natural world.

Rodriguez passed on the message that a "Chris DeMeo" had set up the deals and was likely behind the disappearance. El Negro knew another cocaine dealer in New York called Paz Rodriguez who knew Dominick Montiglio. Jamie was then also killed by the DeMeo crew. When his mother told him that this Pepon was looking for him, Jamie flew to New York to investigate. When El Negro did not receive word back from his girlfriend, Pepon phoned Padnick's wife to see what was going on and asked to speak with Jamie. Rosenberg had made the mistake of assuming that Serrano was the one behind the deal. However, it probably wasn't a clean job because Rosenberg ended up in the hospital with superficial gunshot wounds, claiming he had been shot in a traffic dispute. Padnick, Serrano and the other two Cubans were killed and disposed of. Padnick, Serrano, a girlfriend of El Negro and a male cousin of El Negro came up to New York to make the deal on St Patrick's Day 1979, though the DeMeo crew had no intentions of paying for the drugs. They did a trial run of 1kg and then Rosenberg set up another deal for 12kg. William Serrano was a Cuban who had worked for Padnick and had connections to an individual identified as "Pepon", who was friendly with a Cuban cocaine dealer called "El Negro".

Rather than concentrating on the organised visual communication of such discourses by far-right parties and movements, this article is more interested in the discursive (re)production and reception of nostalgic far-right imagery among certain groups of social media users. It studies digital imagery because to date the exploration of far-right discourses on social media and Internet platforms has, with some exceptions, predominantly focussed on the analysis of textual material. This article explores the role that digital images, specifically Internet memes, play in the normalisation of nostalgic far-right discourses within social media and broader digital settings. Social media settings also provide an opportunity to discern how and to what extent far-right discourses, nostalgic or otherwise, are being normalised. The intermingling of these discourses is especially prevalent in social media settings where they often appear more as a bottom-up crowdsourced phenomena created by numerous individuals with varying degrees of commitment to and knowledge about them, rather than as a result of a fully formed top-down political ideology consensually held by all members to underpin a party or movement. These discourses intermingle to form what can be pragmatically conceived as a broader far-right discourse. These discourses are difficult to isolate and define conclusively but generally they are: ultra and ethno-nationalist, and thus regularly racist and white supremacist nativist, monocultural and anti-pluralist, and thus often anti-immigrant and anti-multiculturalist gender conservative and essentialist, and thus regularly sexist, anti-feminist, and anti-LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Queer, Intersex, Asexual) populist and reactionary, and thus often anti-establishment and anti-globalist and anti-difference, and thus regularly discriminatory against any form of alterity including disability. Such views are typically shared by those far-right parties and movements that are also commonly heralded as having effectively leveraged the power of the Internet and social media platforms in order to popularise their political agendas and normalise their characteristic discourses. Furthermore, it found that these citizens were more likely to have anti-immigrant opinions, be EU sceptic, and politically prioritise the fight against terrorism. It found that 67 percent of the 10,885 European Union (EU) citizens surveyed could be classified as nostalgic and in turn that 53 percent of those citizens identified with positions on the right of the political spectrum. The report illustrated just how receptive public opinion has become to such discourses in Europe. As a Bertelsmann Stiftung report recently acknowledged, the notion that life was better in the past is being used by various political actors as an ‘instrument for agitation’ and to fuel ‘dissatisfaction with present-day politics and anxiety about the future’. Results: The modes, media and moods of nostalgia in SUFSĬonclusion: Remixing the past for a restorative futureĪcross the world, far-right movements and political parties are gaining in strength, in part because of the nostalgic discourses they peddle. Material, method and ethical considerations Mediatised nostalgia, digitised far-right discourse and memetic hate Unpacking these modes and moods, the article also highlights some of the nostalgic tensions at play in the group, indicating the need to rethink broader understandings of far-right nostalgia and calling for further research into how it can be used to veil hate in digital settings. Through the application of an array of critical visual analysis methods it reveals that the nostalgia that disguises hateful far-right discourses in the group is not merely a reflection of that peddled by Sweden’s organised far-right political parties and movements but a complex crowdsourced amalgam involving different nostalgic modes and moods. This article analyses 262 memes, the majority image-macros, posted to a large Swedish anti-immigration Facebook group in order to explore the memetic normalisation of far-right nostalgia. Sweden now: The memetic normalisation of far-right nostalgia Nevertheless, a long list of often conflicting stories on the origin of this dish would emerge and according to the words of a food historian, Alan Davidson, it is typical of popular foods and “a prime example of culinary mythology.” Vegetable farmers from Toisan would stir-fry the thinning and shoots of unsold vegetable approximately ten varieties of vegetables in a dish. It had its roots in Toisan, a county in Guangdong Province, where many of the early Chinese immigrants to the US came from. Anderson conclude that it originates from a Chinese cuisine known as “tsap seui” (miscellaneous leftovers), which was first prepared from various leftovers. It is commonly believed that this dish is invented by Chinese Americans, however anthropologist E.N. It is even labeled as a “savory mess” according to one translation. Others even added mushrooms and quail eggs, mixing all the flavors together. It is a mixture of meat (pork, chicken, beef or shrimps) and shredded vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and bell peppers bound in a starch-thickened sauce. It’s Chop suey.Ĭhop suey literally “assorted pieces” in traditional Chinese is a dish that becomes a prominent part of American Chinese, Filipino and other Asian cuisine. Craving for a vegetable dish? Or are you looking for a nutritious, cheap, easy to prepare and of course delicious food? Then look no further, because here’s a dish that would surely satisfy your hunger and makes you wanting for more. If only every synth came as well documented. Style and format of the pamphlets is consistent with that of previous Sequential user guides, which means both manuals are models of clarity and comprehensiveness. If you get the impression that Sequential mean business when it comes to documentation, award yourself a gold star for perception. The MultiTrak comes complete with a 100-page operation manual which includes voice charts for all 100 factory presets, a 22-page MIDI Guide giving the instrument's complete MIDI implementation, a foldout instruction card giving a brief but concise overview of how to use the synth (particularly neat, this), and a schematic diagram of the front and rear panels with each area labelled and described. Those of you who may have cause to bemoan the MAX's lack of a battery-backed-up RAM will be glad to know that all sequences and stack/split assignments are retained through power-down, and as with the SixTrak, a generous 100 voice memories are provided, all of which are fully programmable and storable. In other words, all the facilities of a SixTrak, plus a little more besides. Other features are a built-in six-track sequencer identical in layout to the one fitted to the SixTrak and MAX, individual audio outs, a programmable chorus unit, a split-keyboard facility, Sequential's much-praised Stack mode, and an Arpeggiator. To be concise and straightforward for a moment (and with the MultiTrak, it's going to be a rare moment), Sequential's latest is a six-voice, multi-timbral analogue polysynth with a five-octave velocity-sensitive plastic keyboard. However, the SixTrak also saw Sequential going for digital parameter access and additional onboard features in a big way, and most important of all it introduced the concept of 'multi-timbral' sound to the budget synth market. But continuing in the company tradition of flying in the face of synthesiser fashion, Sequential gave the SixTrak a conventional analogue, voltage-controlled internal configuration. It came at a time when the synth arena was still very much feeling the after-effects of a technological earth tremor, the one that accompanied the arrival of Yamaha's DX series of FM digital polysynths. The Six-Trak used 6 chips for 6 voices of different timbre program.It's now a little more than a year since Sequential (or Sequential Circuits Inc, to give their full but now rarely used title) introduced the SixTrak polysynth to the music markets of the world. The important parts on board of them was CEM3394 (a complete monophonic analog synth chip manufactured by Curtis Electromusic Specialties ). A number of other synthesizers made by Sequential Circuits used similar electronics, including the Multi-Trak, Max, and Split-8. The Six-Trak's more famous sibling is the Prophet 5, widely used in much of the 1970s progressive rock. More recently it has been used by composer Christopher de Groot for the 2012 soundtrack to Australian feature film "Sororal". The Six-Trak is prominently featured and can be heard on the 1998 minimalist space music CD release The Dream Garden, by musician/composer Dane Rochelle. Also available is a unison mode which renders the keyboard monophonic but allows for very rich sounding timbres. It is possible to latch the arpeggiator and play along with sequences in real time. It was designed as an inexpensive and easily portable 'scratch-pad' machine for trying out arrangements. It is notable for being one of the first multi-timbral synthesizers, equipped with MIDI and an on-board six-track digital sequencer, hence the name. The Six-Trak was an analogue synthesizer manufactured by Sequential Circuits in San Jose, California and released in January 1984.

The window sticker they applied afterwards has a reminder for 5,000 miles or two months, which ever is sooner. I just had a Ford dealer put in full synthetic on the last oil change. I feel that using synthetic oil allows a person to extend the oil change interval, which is a time saver for me. I use Mobil 1 and generally use a K&N oil filter and spend about 50$ to do it. I use full synthetic in my edge, 5w20 but I do it myself. They saw her coming and they took her to the cleaners. This is classical in the automotive industry. They told her this because they read her character and could easily tell she knew nothing about what they were telling her. It looks to me like this garage is just trying to make money off her. She could have gotten the typical lube/oil/filter/multi point inspection at Ford like I do for only $36. So they used synthetic and they want her to bring it back in at only 5000kms intervals? Her car only had 249xx kms on it at the time. So why would this garage tell her it took synthetic? Add to that, when I looked at the tag it said next service due at 29000kms. I just looked it up in the manual today and sure enough it just says to fill it with Motorcraft 5w20. I wasn't 100% sure but I told her that the Ford dealer probably would have just filled it with their standard 5w20 bulk oil that they put in everything. Why would it require synthetic oil? Made no sense to me. In my brain the 3.5L is the "workhorse" of the Ford lineup and is the standard engine in most of their larger vehicles. When I heard that I thought to myself "huh?". When I expressed my dismay that she didn't take it to Ford she said that this place charged her $120 for an oil change because they said the car uses synthetic oil. My sister has a 2012 Edge with the 3.5 V6 and I was driving her car this weekened and noticed a "next service due:" sticker on her windshield from a local private shop. |
