![]() ![]() Their closest step to mainstream fame probably came when their song "Pet Sematary" was included on the soundtrack for the Stephen King book-turned-movie of the same name.īy the early 1990's, the band's nonstop drowning-the-woes lifestyle caught up with them. ![]() ![]() But that was not a long-lived run, as their following album, Animal Boy, went right back to a more conventional, stylized sound. They managed to alienate most of their punk-leaning fan base, and never really pleased music critics or pop fans, leaving little in the way of support for their efforts.īy 1984, the Ramones realized the error of their ways, returning to their punk roots and producing a somewhat redeeming album, Too Tough to Die. Unfortunately, their crossover to mainstream music didn't succeed. The years saw some roster changes, dabbling more into bubblegum rock and 60's era pop music, and barely cracking the Top 10 on the British charts with one single, "Baby I Love You". Their second album came out less than a year after the first, kicking off a musical legacy and almost non-stop touring that would span the next two decades. It did manage to reach #111 on the American charts, earning them a trip to the UK, where the audiences were more accustomed to embracing radical new sounds. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1976, produced for a meager $6,000. Punk rock comes from angry kids who feel like being creative." Even if it was distinctively violent music.Īccording to Rolling Stone, Dee Dee Ramone once penned, "People who join a band like the Ramones don't come from stable backgrounds, because it's not that civilized an art form. Most of the group came from unhappy homes and dysfunctional families, but instead of turning to the violence of New York's street gangs, they instead threw themselves into the creative act of making music. But it was probably their tragic background, rather than their musical predecessors, that catapulted the Ramones from local nightclub performers to international prominence. Their musical inspirations were the traditional lineup of suspects - Elvis and the Beatles, the Stones and other acts of the British Invasion. The Clash, Metallica, Nirvana, Misfits, and Green Day all borrow somewhat from the music of the Ramones. Most probably, much of the groundwork laid across genres - from punk to metal, alternative to mainstream hard rock - came from the Ramones. Yet they made their mark virtually without critical acclaim, hated by much of the music industry. Kids were growing tired of the sappy-sweet Beatles brand of rock, looking for something edgier and angrier. The Sex Pistols, Stooges, and New York Dolls might have laid the groundwork for punk, but the Ramones brought it to the masses, with violent lyrics, a stripped-down musical style (4 chords and an infectious melody) that was both fast-paced and revolutionary. The trio took the stage donned in ripped jeans, sneakers, and leather jackets, looking very brotherly, spewing hard-hitting sounds and screaming lyrics that gave birth to a new genre of rock music - punk. The name was borrowed from Paul McCartney, who used it as an alias when checking into hotels. Tom Erdelvi, aka Tommy Ramone, managed the group, later assuming role of drummer. Originally, the Ramones consisted of Joey Ramone (Jeffrey Hyman) as lead singer, Johnny Ramone (John Cummings) on guitar, Dee Dee Ramone (Douglas Colvin) as bassist. Ironic, since for more than two decades they hardly spoke offstage. The Ramones were formed in Queens, New York in 1974, and all of the band members adopted the surname "Ramone" to denote family-like unity. ![]() ![]() The notes are there, but from the beginning only as a very delicate accessory at the edge of the main event. Not even for half a minute, actually not at all, can a somehow independent citric lavender spice freshness be detected. If we take a closer look at the chronological course and the three classical notes, then the top note of bergamot, sage and lavender is not, in my opinion, independently formed. I could imagine that this note (or the interplay of the two) also has a very attractive effect on the opposite sex (and not only on women who are looking for a loving and gentle protector and breadwinner). The other shape, for which perhaps beside the leather and the vetiver also iris and cocoa (because pure cocoa, not the Nesquick- & Co - powder consisting mainly of sugar is by far rather bitter than sweet) are responsible, is tart, bitter and serious (at the border to severity) - and with it also in the common understanding "male". The one figure of the fragrance is the very metrosexual, even feminine: sweet, flowery, soft, intense (the obtrusive scarring) chords that, despite a tendency to heaviness, ultimately appear so transparent, floating and flowing that they evoke in me the thought of light silk garments, even gauze (which doesn't seem to be typically "masculine"). ![]() ![]() ![]() His name's funny, isn't it? To not give this fragrance, which is located in the border area of men's fragrances, a sweet, heavy, flowery, gourmand, warm name like "Kuschelwuschel" in a certain way, but to give it the most classic, imaginable men's fragrance name "Homme" in a dry and laconic way, already shows a sense of humour (or chutzpah or both).įor me "Homme" has two inseparably connected faces or figures, which cannot be clearly separated according to phases, but are constantly present in the fragrance as a whole, sometimes more one, sometimes more the other, and also depending on where you focus your fragrance perception, and which I don't want to assign to individual ingredient groups (I think the totality of the ingredients is responsible for both faces) For me, "Dior Homme" is one of the great classics a striking, original and well-balanced composed fragrance, strong in development (and "strong" at all), immediately recognizable, a time shaping, a whole number of years lasting fragrance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Or, that last scene, when the trumpet sounds and earth is shivering to its foundations, the fire is bubbling forth through the rents in its surface, and the dead are coming together flesh to flesh, and bone to bone, and muscle to muscle-then the weary man sits down and casts off his shoes! Strange sights are around him, he sees them not strange sounds assail his ears, he hears but one-the trumpet-note which gives the signal for him to stay his wanderings and rest his weary feet. ![]() Or, is that other illustration more remarkable, where the wanderer is amongst the Alps, at the brink of a hideous chasm and seeing in the contorted pine-branches the ever-haunting scene of the Via Dolorosa, he is lured to cast himself into that black gulf in quest of rest,-when an angel flashes out of the gloom with the sword of flame turning every way, keeping him back from what would be to him a Paradise indeed, the repose of Death? We feel that he is recalling the tragedy of the first Good Friday, and his head hangs heavier on his breast, as he recalls the part he had taken in that awful catastrophe. For a moment we see the working of the miserable shoemaker’s mind. But I refer rather to the second, which represents the Jew, after the lapse of ages, bowed beneath the burden of the curse, worn with unrelieved toil, wearied with ceaseless travelling, trudging onward at the last lights of evening, when a rayless night of unabating rain is creeping on, along a sloppy path between dripping bushes and suddenly he comes over against a wayside crucifix, on which the white glare of departing daylight falls, to throw it into ghastly relief against the pitch-black rain-clouds. I do not refer to the first illustration as striking, where the Jewish shoemaker is refusing to suffer the cross-laden Savior to rest a moment on his door-step, and is receiving with scornful lip the judgment to wander restless till the Second Coming of that same Redeemer. WHO, that has looked on Gustave Doré’s marvellous illustrations to this wild legend, can forget the impression they made upon his imagination?

Curious Myths of the Middle Ages Sabine Baring-Gouldįirst published in 1866. ![]() ![]() One such tablet invokes the god Mercury to bring down a curse on Varianus, Peregrina and Sabinianus, whom the curser thought had brought harm on their animal. Large caches of curse tablets have been found in Roman digs in the modern-day United Kingdom. People cursed people who hurt their family members, but they also cursed them when they committed crimes or even entered into court cases against them. Think of curse tablets as the takedowns of the ancient world: If someone disrespected or harmed you, you could head to your local magician and pay to curse them. One of the more charmingly bitter traditions of ancient Greece and Rome were “curse tablets”-spells written on lead, wax or stone that laid out the ways in which people had been wronged. Amulets may have looked decorative, but their contents felt like life and death to believers, who paid magicians to give them scrolls and talismans that put their intentions into physical form.Ĭurses and revenge were very much a thing In 2011, archaeologists uncovered an amulet in Cyprus that was engraved with a palindromic spell, and in 2008, Swiss archaeologists found a gold scroll in a silver amulet capsule thought to have belonged to an ancient Roman child. Though other ancient cultures, like that of Ancient Egypt, favored amulets with symbolism, Ancient Greek and Roman amulets were designed to carry spells, themselves. Amulets designed to carry spells became a must-have fashion accessory and are regularly found in Ancient Greek and Roman grave sites and digs. And like the objects found in Syria, the spells were often carried around with a person until they came to pass. Spells weren’t just said in the ancient world-they were written down. You could use a binding spell to invoke an upcoming athletic victory or ensure your happy marriage to a new partner-and to do so, you’d use powerful strings of words passed on by magicians or ordinary people.Īmulets were a must-have magical fashion accessory Unlike modern-day magical phrases like, say, "bippity boppity boo," practitioners of magic in ancient Greek and Rome used spells to “bind” people up to different outcomes in sporting events, business, and personal affairs related to love and even revenge.Īs Greek and Roman magic expert Derek Collins writes, binding spells had known formulas and named involved parties, like gods and people, and then connected them to actions or results. In ancient “binding magic,” it was all about the spells. While the archaeologists work to decipher the scrolls (a process that could never be complete), why not take a moment to catch up on what historians already know about ancient magical rituals? As Reuters reports, the tiny scrolls were contained in what are thought to be ancient amulets and are covered with spells used in “binding magic” rituals of yore. Call it a happy accident: When a group of Serbian archaeologists recently uncovered a cache of 2,000-year-old skeletons, they unearthed a set of mysterious scrolls covered with Aramaic curses, too. ![]() ![]() ![]() The holster body is constructed with SafariSeven TM, a lightweight, state-of-the-art nylon blend is completely non-abrasive to a guns finish, tolerant of extreme high and low temperatures, and easy to maintain.Ĭlick here for a detailed instruction manualĪll prices incl.

Canada has allowed limited distribution of MDMA and other psychedelics such as psilocybin upon application to and approval by Health Canada. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration is currently evaluating the drug for clinical use. Medical uses in a small number of countries. MDMA is illegal in most countries and has limited approved It belongs to the substituted amphetamine classes of drugs. MDMA acts primarily by increasing the activity of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline in parts of the brain. Following use, people often feel depressed and tired, although this effect does not appear in clinical use, suggesting that it is not a direct result of MDMA administration. Deaths have been reported due to increased body temperature and dehydration. Short-term adverse effects include grinding of the teeth, blurred vision, sweating and a rapid heartbeat, and extended use can also lead to addiction, memory problems, paranoia and difficulty sleeping. In the United States, as of 2017, about 7% of people have used MDMA at some point in their lives and 0.9% have used it in the last year. This was broadly similar to the percentage of people who use cocaine or amphetamines, but lower than for cannabis or opioids. In 2016, about 21 million people between the ages of 15 and 64 used ecstasy (0.3% of the world population). It may be mixed with other substances such as ephedrine, amphetamine, and methamphetamine. MDMA is commonly associated with dance parties, raves, and electronic dance music. It was used to enhance psychotherapy beginning in the 1970s and became popular as a street drug in the 1980s. MDMA was first developed in 1912 by Merck. When taken by mouth, effects begin in 30 to 45 minutes and last three to six hours.

It majorly works on DataFrames which are the programming abstraction and usually act as a distributed SQL query engine. Spark SQL is not a database but a module that is used for structured data processing. But the question which still pertains in most of our minds is, Is Spark SQL a database? These drawbacks gave way to the birth of Spark SQL. To overcome this, users have to use the Purge option to skip trash instead of drop. Hive cannot drop encrypted databases in cascade when the trash is enabled and leads to an execution error.This means that if the processing dies in the middle of a workflow, you cannot resume from where it got stuck. MapReduce lags in the performance when it comes to the analysis of medium-sized datasets (10 to 200 GB). Hive launches MapReduce jobs internally for executing the ad-hoc queries.Below I have listed down a few limitations of Hive over Spark SQL. Spark SQL is faster than Hive when it comes to processing speed. Spark SQL was built to overcome these drawbacks and replace Apache Hive. ![]() Apache Hive had certain limitations as mentioned below. Spark SQL originated as Apache Hive to run on top of Spark and is now integrated with the Spark stack. Spark SQL integrates relational processing with Spark’s functional programming. It provides support for various data sources and makes it possible to weave SQL queries with code transformations thus resulting in a very powerful tool. The following provides the storyline for the blog: Through this blog, I will introduce you to this new exciting domain of Spark SQL. It supports querying data either via SQL or via the Hive Query Language. Spark SQL is a new module in Spark which integrates relational processing with Spark’s functional programming API. With the advent of real-time processing framework in the Big Data Ecosystem, companies are using Apache Spark rigorously in their solutions. Apache Spark is a lightning-fast cluster computing framework designed for fast computation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t remember hating Take Me Out! But I certainly didn’t like the famous guitar riff. Photograph: Tabatha Fireman/Redferns Tore Johansson, producer When we recorded it, Tore Johansson, the producer, hated it and kept asking: “Why are we recording this? The other songs are so much better.”įranz Ferdinand at the Mercury Music awards in 2014. When you come up with a song like that, the dreamer in you is thinking: “One day, we’ll play this in Mexico City.” But the realist thinks, “We’ll press up 500 copies and sell 35”, which is what had happened with all the other bands I’d been in. The first time we played the whole song in the rehearsal room, I joked: “This would sound really good on the radio.” But I was thinking of a session on John Peel or something – if we were lucky. We thought it would be funny to spoof the sounds you got on Queen records or the beginning of Eye of the Tiger. The short staccato bursts of sound – where you hit a cymbal and hold it to stop it resonating – came about because Bob Hardy, our bass-player, had read an article about “sports rock”, the music played at sports games in the US. The tempo of the chorus was much slower than the verse, so I suggested playing all the verses at the beginning, but slower, then the choruses.

Two is a shoe, so we can mentally place a shoe on this region.Īs in the preceding example, we want to think about how to make the association more specific. In this case, the choice of a gun lends itself to specificity because of the relationship the people in this region have to guns. In memory techniques, we often remember more if the images are exaggerated and specific, so keep that in mind if you have issues. Note: If you don’t like guns, you can use a bun, the sun or some other image. You might also think about how the United States is in North America and about their dedication to the right to bear arms. One is a gun, so we mentally place the image of a gun on this part of the map. You can choose any order that works for you. This is the numbering that made most sense to me.
