My husbands jaw dropped and shivers went up his spine. I nearly fell of the chair in shock. How did she know? Ken is self employed and his main contractor that year had not paid him for over 6 months. He was on the verge of bankruptcy. As we delved into the energy of our home we discovered that the financial crisis we were going through was not our fault and could have been easily resolved. Our house had been in a Money Lock. Thankfully it all got resolved (using Feng Shui it could have been avoided) We were in the first day of our official training as Feng Shui Consultants. I had been interested in Feng Shui since I was sixteen reading books and doing a bit of DIY Feng Shui, but nothing prepared me for the power of what we were getting ourselves into and the transformations that it would have on our lives, business and simultaneously our clients lives and businesses when we embraced Feng Shui on a deeper level.

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

  • The Crystal Movement May Not Turn You On, but What About a More Practical Use?
    Art & Architecture The Crystal Movement May Not Turn You On, But What About a More Practical Use? Written by Lane Nieset Published on July 30, 2018 Stepping into Taryn Toomey’s TriBeCa fitness studio, The Class, comes with recognition of a common theme—crystals. Jagged “healing” clear quartz clings to light fixtures and crushed rose quartz, black onyx and amethyst lay hidden under the pale oak floor planks, where the former Christian Dior fashion executive-turned- fitness guru leads yoga-inspired sessions attended by supermodels like Christy Turlington Burns. The flickering candles and strategically placed crystals offer as much of a cathartic effect as the lithely blonde who simultaneously dances and DJs to Coachella-style beats, commanding students to “Get fucking angry” and let out pent-up emotions through animalistic roars. Equal parts therapy session and serious body sculpting, quartz- covered lighting (à la Kelly Wearstler) sets the scene here just as much as the beauty products lining the marble bathroom shelves. With the meditation and mindfulness industry pulling in more than $1.1 billion in the United States alone, it was only a matter of time before New Age healing classics like crystals made it to the mainstream market, with everyone from Victoria Beckham (who keeps crystals backstage before fashion shows) to designer Tory Burch (whose stores are decorated with crystal light fixtures) jumping on the balance bandwagon. In regions like Chamonix, where some of the world’s most beautiful smoky quartz is mined in the Mont Blanc massif mountain range, these crystals have served as design inspiration for thousands of years.

  • Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms
    Television Sharknados and Twitter Storms: Cult Film Fan Practices in the Age of Social Media Branding Stephen William Hay A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the regulations for the degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the Syfy channel’s broadcast of the television movie Sharknado and the large number of tweets that were sent about it. Sharknado’s audience engaged in cult film viewing practices that can be understood using paracinema theory. Paracinema engagement with cult films has traditionally taken place in midnight screenings in independent movie theatres and private homes. Syfy’s audience was able to engage in paracinematic activity that included making jokes about Sharknado’s low quality of production and interacting with others who were doing the same through the affordances of Twitter. In an age where branding has become increasingly important, Syfy clearly benefited from all the fan activity around its programming. Critical branding theory argues that the value generated by a business’s brand comes from the labour of consumers. Brand management is mostly about encouraging and managing consumer labour. The online shift of fan practices has created new opportunities for brand managers to subsume the activities of consumers. Cult film audience practices often have an emphasis on creatively and collectively engaging in rituals and activities around a text. These are the precise qualities that brands require from their consumers. Sharknado was produced and marketed by Syfy to invoke the cult film subculture as part of Syfy’s branding strategy.

  • 1 Meditation Method for Yin Yang Vision Ƒ
    1 Meditation Method for Yin Yang Vision ƒ This cure is to be given only to those who ask for its wisdom with deep sincerity. It is to be given with discrimination and care, and requires the exchange of 27 envelopes with $10 in each envelope. As a student of the Storyboard, this is not necessary. However, 3 envelopes would be very much appreciated. This meditation is best done with another person. If you are alone, you will need a full-length mirror. Practice this meditation to cultivate your clairvoyance. The power you generate will enhance your Feng Shui readings, and strengthen your ability to analyze personal chi. It will allow you to read the chi of previous lifetimes, and predict the future. It may help you to see why someone is acting in an abnormal way. You may see beyond what is obvious (or knowable). You may be able to “see through” your date or someone you are considering as a marriage partner. This method is simple, yet extremely effective. To increase your accuracy, practice Supreme Yoga Section VI (Six) on a regular basis. Your inspirations will be immediate, accurate, and reliable. Important Notes: What you see will depend upon your visualization during the process. Know what you want or need, and visualize appropriately. If an important day is coming up, or you have to make an important decision on a designated day, you can use this method in the following manner: When you awake, and before you do anything, look in the mirror and perform the Method for Yin Yang Vision.

  • The History of Star Trek
    The History of Star Trek The original Star Trek was the brainchild of Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), a US TV producer and scriptwriter. His idea was to make a TV series that combined the futuristic possibilities of science fiction with the drama and excitement of TV westerns (his original title for the series was ‘Wagon Train to the Stars’). Star Trek was first aired on American TV in 1966, and ran for three series. Each episode was a self-contained adventure/mystery, but they were all linked together by the premise of a gigantic spaceship, crewed by a diverse range of people, travelling about the galaxy on a five-year mission ‘to explore new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before’. Although not especially successful it attracted a loyal fan-base, partly male fans that liked the technological and special effects elements of the show. But the show also attracted a large number of female fans, many of whom were drawn to the complex interaction and dynamic between the three main characters, the charismatic but impetuous Captain Kirk (William Shatner), the crotchety old doctor McCoy (DeForest Kelley) and the coldly logical Vulcan science officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy). After the show was cancelled in 1969 the fans conducted a lengthy and ultimately successful campaign to resurrect the franchise. Roddenberry enjoyed success with several motion pictures, including Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979); action-thriller Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982); Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) and the more comic Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).

All that glitters by Gary Boyle Read the following story by Tatat Bunnag from the Bangkok Post. Then, answer the questions that follow. Photo by Pornprom Satrabhaya She may be known as the actress who shot to stardom in the hit 2015 indie movie Freelance, but Violette Wautier says she has always considered herself more as a singer than an actress. In between movies and TV dramas, the former The Voice Thailand contestant kept herself busy, writing and releasing a number of hit singles, as well as collaborating with different artists from Getsunova and Stamp to Max Jenmana and DABOYWAY. In 2018, Violette released her first English language single Drive, topping various charts across the country. This was followed by Smoke, which broke the record for the most-viewed English song performed by a Thai artist with 61 million views. Smoke reached No.1 on the Apple Music Chart in eight countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Violette recently released her first solo album, Glitter And Smoke. The album includes nine songs of dreamy, synth-based pop music that she composed, reflecting her past experiences and feelings on life, whether it's bright and fun, or about a love that is broken and hurt. We recently spoke with the Thai-Belgian singer about the making of Glitter And Smoke.
