Chrissy Costanza Talks About Against the Current!
veronica jun 11, 2013
At just 17, Chrissy Costanza has already made a name for herself as the singer in pop-rock band Against the Current as well as a vlogger and tutorialist.
Sweety High asked Chrissy a few questions about her history with music and what it's like to be the only girl in the band!
Chrissy Costanza comes from a family of music lovers. Though her parents don't play any instruments or sing, they have always encouraged their kids to hone their musical skills.
"My brother (he's only 10) plays drums now," Chrissy said, "so between me singing (very loudly) 24/7, he also is always blasting music through a speaker and drumming along to it so my house usually always has music going on somewhere."
Chrissy joined Against the Current early in the summer of 2011. Chrissy met bandmates Will, Jeremy, and Dan through one of her best friends. They needed a singer and Chrissy fit the bill.
"I had never really been in a band before but had dreams of being in one," Chrissy said.
Months later, the band's bassist Joe joined, completing the group as we know it today.
"Our first year as a band we really didn't do much," she said. "Just wrote music, practiced, hung out and dreamt big dreams.
Their channel didn't get much attention until they released their first single, "Thinking." A collaboration with YouTube talent Alex Goot on a cover of "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen really got the ball rolling. That was in July of 2012.
We asked Chrissy what it's like being the only girl in Against the Current.
"It's actually not that difficult at all," she said, "I've always had more guy friends than girl friends anyways. They're also really good to me, they're like my brothers so I never feel weird about being the only girl."
She added that she barely notices the difference sometimes.
"The guys are kind of girls sometimes," Chrissy said. She said that Will takes hour-long showers and a long time to get ready, and than Dan is super particular about his hair.
"Even when I take a while to get ready, I'm still usually not he last one finished," she said.
In addition to her music, Chrissy has a very popular vlog and tutorial channel. She had always wanted to do YouTube make-up tutorials, but didn't think there was an audience for it.
"I never went for it because I didn't think anyone would care," she explained. "But then one day girls started asking me about my make-up in certain videos, or about my hair routine."
It inspired her to finally create a second channel dedicated to those topics. She also uses it to spill her soul in a video blog.
"I think it's just a really fun way to interact with all of the people who support me on a more personal level," she said. "I want to be accessible to fans and for people to know who I really am and what I'm really like. I never want to just put a face on."
Chrissy Costanza recently graduated from high school.
"It was always tough," she explained, "especially because my band mates live over an hour away so weekday practices were not exactly doable, but we did it! I would go up for the weekend and stay over at one of their houses for practice and we'd work hard all weekend to get everything we needed to get done."
If Chrissy could collaborate with any artist, she'd pick John Mayer for "a soft, relaxing love song" or Katy Perry.
"I totally cried watching the movie [Part Of Me]," she admitted.
Chrissy explained that the best part of musical success is the friendships she has made. After all, she would have never met two of her favorite people, YouTube stars Alex Goot and Julia Sheer, had she not ventured into the world of YouTube.
"I'm so stoked and grateful that we did become friends," she said.
Chrissy does have some awesome advice for aspiring girl musicians.
"Do not try to fit a mold," she said. "Just be you. Do what makes you feel like the best version of yourself. If you want to wear crazy clothes, do it! If you want rainbow hair, do it! Write lyrics and music that reflect the way you feel not what you think people want to hear. Because that's when it becomes worth it: when people appreciate and support you just being you. Be proud and confident in who you are. "

I absolutely love this message from Ashira and the Radiant council of light! Just what i needed to tune into this morning! It feels really simple, loving and oh so leading edge! thanks abundantly dear ones for the unplifting reminder!


I was 10 years old when I bought my first camera. It was a Zenith EM SLR with a 200mm telephoto lens. It handled like a brick and weighed as much as half a dozen bricks but I adored it. I bought it because I wanted to take pictures of nature. I dragged my parents everywhere. They followed a respectable distance behind mostly while I crept up on birds and rabbits or ran off into the distance chasing a sunset. It was a film camera of course.
You generally got around 30 pictures out of one roll of film if you loaded it well. Then you had to send the roll away to be developed. There was a wait of around one week until your photos returned by post.
When I opened up the package I always remember being slightly disappointed.
What I'd seen through the lens wasn't what I now held in my hand. The colours were dull, the images were usually a bit blurry and at least half of the roll was chronically under or over exposed.
I must have shot dozens of rolls of film with that camera but the results were always the same. I still kept going though, because I loved so many aspects of photography.
The pictures were just one tiny part of something much, much greater.
I loved the feel of the camera in my hands. It was heavy sturdy metal, not like the plastic cameras of today. It made all kinds of clunky mechanical noises.
As a boy, fascinated by cars and spaceships this used to thrill me.
I loved the smell of the enormous leather camera box I used to carry it in. I bought coloured filters and spent hours cleaning and polishing every component. Arranging them and then re-arranging them in the box.
It had luminous paint on the F-Stop numbers and a little red light that would come on if you'd set something outside of the camera's recommended capabilities. The light meter was like a tiny compass needle that you had to line up with a circle to check your exposure levels.
Even though it was first realised in 1972, this chunky camera was the most advanced piece of technology I had in 1985 and I cherished it.
I didn't really have a clue what I was doing. Once or twice I managed to get a half decent photo, but I didn't care. I was addicted to the idea of being a photographer.
In 1987 I was returning home from a trip to St James's Park in London with my mother when disaster struck. In a momentary lapse of concentration I left my beautiful Zenith camera on the train.
To this day I don't remember having cried so inconsolably at any other time in my life.
I cried so much my mother took me out the next day and bought me a new camera. Presumably, to shut me up as much as anything else.
I was 11 and the owner of a brand new Practica MTL.
This camera was a step up in terms of usability but I missed the feeling of the Zenith. Despite using it constantly I never quite fell in love with the Practica.
Within a few months of getting it I'd already started to save my paper round money for something else.
Only a year after purchasing the Practica I swapped it for an Olympus OM 707. This was my first big brand camera. Olympus was a huge name in the camera market in the 80's.
I kept this camera throughout my school days.
It had a standard 50mm f2.8 lens and that was it. It was all black instead of the traditional silver/black of older SLR's. It had a digital readout on top which told you how many shots you had remaining. Trust me. This was one special feature at the time.
When eventually it came time to trade up to a new camera I actually had to search the house for that black Olympus. I'd resigned it to box a couple of years earlier after discovering alcohol and girls. The year was 1995.
The next logical progression for me was the Olympus OM10. It was probably the first camera I'd owned that I felt confident was capable of taking pro quality pictures. I swiftly went about purchasing an array of fine lenses for it including a fisheye. There were very few fisheyes for SLR's back then. Most people, including me, purchased one for a movie camera and jammed it on using an adapter. I had bags of fun with that lens.
Much to the annoyance of my friends I would carry that camera everywhere. Always sticking it in their hungover tired faces and asking them to move a little to the left. Sorry guys! Thanks for putting up with me.
I held onto the Olympus OM10 for nearly 10 years. It was an amazing time in my life and I have some amazing photos to remind me.
In 2004 I sold the Olympus and bought a Canon digital rebel. This was the first consumer digital SLR and to say it was a game changer probably doesn't do it justice.
Those reading this who have grown up in the digital era can never begin to imagine what this camera did for photography.
For the first time ever, SLR die-hards could take as many pictures as they wanted and not have to worry about the cost of film or developing. You could snap away to your heart's content, see the results instantly and if you didn't like the pictures, you could simply delete them.
That simple fact brought SLR photography to the masses. It meant that you could experiment. You could get it wrong and have another go without it costing you money.
Aspiring photographers everywhere who might never have bought a film SLR bought the Canon Rebel. And Photography was changed forever.
Fast forward 2 years and I was getting ready for my second backpacking trip. The digital market had picked up speed since the Rebel's release. I knew I wanted the perfect travel camera and I was going to break the bank to get it.
I sold the Rebel to a friend and picked up a brand new Nikon D200.
Since the 1980's I had fantasized about owning a Nikon.
I remembered seeing news reports from far away sounding places like Madagascar, Sri Lanka and The Falkland Islands. Seeing reporters from the BBC and National Geographic brave leech infested swamps, rain forests and war zones. They always had Nikons. To me, Nikon was the Rolls Royce of cameras. I knew I would own one-one day.
I bought the body only and had to wait 4 agonising weeks before the 18-200mm lens turned up in the post.
I shot literally thousands of pics while backpacking in 2006. I sent them home on CD's. Many of them feature on this blog.
I could've stopped there. Perhaps I should have. But in 2008 Nikon released the first consumer full frame sensor camera. The D700. I'd gotten used to APS-C sized sensors by this time but I missed the large bright viewfinders of my film cameras.
The full frame D700, represented the best of both worlds. All the advantages of 35mm film photography and digital photography rolled up into one package.
I had to have one. At £1700 in 2008 the D700 was by no means cheap. I justified the purchase by telling myself it would be an investment. No longer would I have to keep trading in bits for newer bits. I could buy a D700 and a selection of prime lenses and I'd be set for life.
If I stuck with Nikon, all I'd have to do is buy a new camera every decade or so to keep ahead of the game. The lenses I could use forever.
Over the next 5 years I collected a 50mm f1.4G lens, a 24mm f2.8 lens, a 135mm f2 DC lens and a 16mm f2.8 fisheye. It was a dream line-up and I took the most amazing photos of my life. Then I sold the lot on eBay earlier this year and invested the money instead.
Here's what 28 years of trying to take amazing photos has taught me.
A few months ago Navi and I went through another downsizing exercise in preparation for our forthcoming trip. Among many things on the chopping block so to speak were our photo albums. After the death of my parents we'd inherited their albums too and what with my history with photography we had literally dozens. So many in fact that digitising them all would have been practically impossible.
Instead we took to going through each album and evaluating which photographs were important enough to scan properly and keep. Very quickly something enlightening happened.
We noticed that the only photos we gave a damn about were photos of friends and family.
In the end, what really matters are people and the shared memory of an experience.
Photos are only really there to remind you of that feeling. If you take away the people, many photos lose their significance over time. Have fun being a photographer. Shoot sunsets, boats and buildings if you like. Just remember, after 10 years of sitting on your cloud storage, these beautiful vistas won't be as important to you as a grainy holiday snap of your mates.

NFL 2019 (Week 14): Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams
Russell S. Baxter
By Jesse Pierson
Special to Pro Football Guru
Last Monday, the Los Angeles Rams had to swallow their pride and root for the Seattle Seahawks to win against the Minnesota Vikings. It worked, and the Seahawks' victory allowed the Rams to gain a game in the playoff standings against the Vikings. The win also vaulted Seattle ahead of San Francisco atop the NFC West and into the second seed behind New Orleans. Incidentally, the 49ers and Saints play each other earlier in the day, but these two teams have enough on their plate in dealing with each other. A Seattle win would keep them in the lead for the West division crown, regardless of San Francisco's result. A Los Angeles win would keep their playoff hopes alive for another week, nipping at Minnesota's heels and even keeping them in the hunt for the division.
Seahawks: Seattle's last loss was October 20 against Baltimore, who is the only team hotter than the Seahawks at the moment. In fact, their only two losses this year were to Baltimore and New Orleans, who are the top seeds in current playoff standings. To put it differently: Seattle can stake its claim as one of the three best teams in the league if it continues its winning ways. The aforementioned 49ers-Saints game has major implications for Seattle to boot. A New Orleans win keeps them in the driver's seat with three games to play, but a San Francisco victory makes the Seahawks the top dog. All of that is moot if Pete Carroll's team doesn't win this game, of course. To do so, they will need to stifle Todd Gurley and force Jared Goff into uncomfortable situations. Keeping Aaron Donald off of Russell Wilson is a good idea, too. Wilson and the offense may need to carry the load, since Jadeveon Clowney and Ziggy Ansah are questionable, Mychal Kendricks is unlikely to play and Neiko Thorpe is out. Despite the struggles of Goff, the Rams' offense can still put up big numbers if given the opportunity. Ball control and time of possession will be huge in L.A. on Sunday night.
Rams: Los Angeles finally had the offensive explosion they've been waiting on last week in Arizona. The Rams racked up over 500 yards of total offense, did not commit any turnovers, and held the ball for almost 10 minutes longer than the Cardinals. Goff and Gurley looked more like their 2017 and 2018 selves than what we've seen most of this year, and the defense had six players register at least a half-sack against Kyler Murray. With that being said, Arizona is 3-8-1 for a reason, and they are hardly comparable to Seattle. To keep their momentum going, this offensive resurgence must continue. Helping their chances is the surprisingly poor Seahawks defense. Seattle ranks in the bottom ten in total yards, pass yards, and scoring. They are stout against the run, but if Goff can avoid throwing interceptions, his plethora of talented receivers could come through in a big way. Look for Sean McVay to scheme up ways to prey upon Clowney and Ansah, or at the very least make them play through pain and discomfort.
Prediction: The Rams start out on fire, but Wilson comes alive in the second half to squeak out a last-second road win.
Seattle Seahawks 31, Los Angeles Rams 30

In Dubious Battle
Problem vs Picaresque
April 18, 2019 by Essay Writer
John Steinbeck wrote two novels in the thirties concerning human behaviors during the depression entitled The Grapes of Wrath in 1939 and In Dubious Battle in 1936. The Grapes of Wrath is the better novel because it fulfills the requirements of being a picaresque novel while In Dubious Battle does not stand up to the characteristics of a propaganda novel. Typically, the loose characteristics of a novel are that it must be set in the realistic world with believable characters interacting with and revealed by believable actions and events in a long narrative form. Both works are accurately labeled novels, but the real question is whether or not they fit into a novel subcategory. As stated in A Handbook to Literature, Second Edition by C. Hugh Holman a picaresque novel is:A chronicle, usually autobiographical, presenting the life story of a rascal of low degree engaged in menial tasks… Episodic in nature, the picaresque novel is, in the usual sense of the term, structureless. The picaro, or central figure, through the nature of his various pranks and predicaments and by virtue of his associations with people of varying degree, affords the author an opportunity for satire on the social classes. …the picaresque novel nevertheless is strongly marked by realistic methods in its faithfulness to petty detail, its utter frankness of expression, and its drawing of incidents from low life (391).This definition will be the standard for measuring Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. In contrast, In Dubious Battle will be measured against the standard of the propaganda novel. The definition listed was, "A novel dealing with a special social, political, economic, or moral issue or problem and strongly advocating a doctrinaire solution" (419).The Grapes of Wrath is a picaresque novel depicting Tom Joad, a former sharecropper on parole, traveling to California. Fitting the description of "a rascal of low degree," Steinbeck first described Tom as having that "fresh out of jail" look: "The man's clothes were new – all of them, cheap and new" (9). The clothes did not fit his body or match those of the typical hitchhiker walking alongside the road. By the end of the novel, Tom's clothes are ragged from the hardships of the preceeding months. His hat is described periodically as being bent further and further beyond recognition. "The hat shrunk from sweat, Tom removed a scrap of newspaper lining the cuff of his hat."Jim and Mac could also be described as rascals in In Dubious Battle. Mac asked Jim if he had blue jeans and Jim's response was no. Mac insisted, "Well, we'll have to go out and buy you some in a second-hand store, then" (39). However, Mac and Jim were not dressed as migrant workers because they were migrant workers, but because they wanted to look as if they were. Failing in this characteristic would not be as bad, but In Dubious Battle also fails to be episodic in nature. The events leading up to the death of Jim are not interchangeable. The novel has a set structure that needs to be followed to maintain the given plotline. A writer could not place the arrival of strikebreakers before the strike and you could not put the arrest of Dakin before the gathering of the strikers in Mr. Anderson's field. Steinbeck designed a set development for Jim's character that takes a certain path to accomplish. As seen in the movie The Grapes of Wrath, its sub-stories are interchangeable. The episodes still make sense for the plotline to move, add, or delete.In Dubious Battle does not meet the standards of a picaresque novel, but seems to follow the lines of a propaganda novel. The novel confronts various economic and political problems. The economic problems are seen in the payment of migrant workers and their living conditions. Mac suggested at the campfire that he would pick apples and retire on his income. A man on the opposite side replied angrily, "Know what they're payin', fella? Fifteen cents, fifteen lousy cents!" (57). The political problems are displayed throughout the novel as well. Mac and Jim are members of the Party. There is a constant use of the word "comrade" suggesting communists. Steinbeck presents the Party members as being controls in a strike that would have happened anyway. Mac even said after the fall of Dan, "These guys'll go nuts if we don't take charge" (107). Mac has hopes of how bad the strike will get before he and Jim ever leave. He tells Jim how hard and exciting Torgas Valley could be:There's the bulk of power in the hands of a few men. That always makes 'em cocky. Now we start our strike, and Torgas County gets itself an ordinance that makes congregation unlawful. Now what happens? We congregate the men. A bunch of sheriff's men try to push them around, and that starts a fight. There's nothing like a fight to cement the men together. Well, then the owners start a vigilantes committee, bunch of fool shoe clerks, or my friends the American Legion boys trying to pretend they aren't middle-aged, cinching in their belts to hide their pat-bellies- they I go again. Well, the vigilantes start shooting. If they knock over some of the tramps we have a public funeral; and after that, we get some real action. Maybe they have to call out the troops. Jesus, man! The troops win, all right! But every time a guardsman jabs a fruit tramp with a bayonet a thousand men all over the country come on our side. Christ Almighty! If we can only get the troops called out (38-9).Steinbeck illustrates the problem of strikes among the migrant workers and the landowners. He does an excellent job of bringing the problem out into the open, but does not define a clear solution. The title of the work itself suggests that the battle never should have occurred in the first place because it has an assured outcome: defeat. This flaw in the novel ends the argument of In Dubious Battle being a propaganda novel.His other novel, The Grapes of Wrath, fits the rest of Holman's definition of the picaresque novel. Tom Joad and the rest of the family meet various degrees of people on the road to California. On page 169 the family drove through Oklahoma City and "Ruthie and Winfield saw it all, and it embarrassed them with its bigness and its strangeness, and it frightened them with the fine-clothes people they saw." They first met the Wilson's on page 171 and find friends in people just like them. They met their first migrant worker making the journey east on page 243. He was depressed and experienced, but the westward travelers were too optimistic to hear what he had to say. On page 274 Ma Joad met her first deputy sheriff and learned the meaning of the word Okie. The Joad family experienced their first Hooverville on page 312. Tom met his first group of vigilantes on page 359. They get respect from the government camp in Weedpatch on page 366. Tom got his first job in California and met his first landowner on page 377. On page 472 the family met its first strike and became strikebreakers without knowing it. They picked their first Californian cotton on page 524 and felt more at home than when they left Oklahoma. Finally, the Joad's experienced their first rain in California starting on page 549. The rain turned into a flood and forced the family out of the safety of their boxcar. Most of the people and experiences the Joads came across represented something society had to offer a migrant worker in the thirties.In conclusion, The Grapes of Wrath stands up to the standards of the picaresque novel while In Dubious Battle falls short of fulfilling the characteristics of the propaganda novel. Both pieces were wonderfully written and make strong statements concerning human behaviors during the 1930's. It is The Grapes of Wrath that is the better novel because it completes the definition of what it is. In Dubious Battle makes the stand, but without a conclusion, and only raises more questions and leaves readers lacking influence for change.Works CitedHolman, High C.

Dirk van Gulik (Grouw, 17 juli 1868 − Wageningen, 26 februari 1935) was een Nederlands hoogleraar meteorologie en rector magnificus.

Biografie
Van Gulik was een zoon van predikant ds. Augustus van Gulik (1838-1918) en Alida Maria Donker (1841-1914). Hij trouwde in 1897 met Catharina Kingma Boltjes (1870-1960) en zij waren de ouders van kunstenaar Dirk van Gulik (1904-1982). Ze waren ook geparenteerd aan chirurg dr. Menzo Pieter Kingma Boltjes (1880-1944) en prof. dr. ir. Tjomme Ynte Kingma Boltjes (1901-2000).

Van Gulik deed examen aan het gymnasium in Leeuwarden en studeerde vervolgens af in de wis- en natuurkunde te Groningen. Vervolgens was hij verbonden aan zijn alma mater om daarna leraar te worden te Doetinchem en Apeldoorn. In 1896 promoveerde hij te Groningen op Een onderzoek naar de oorzaak der door Branly ontdekte verschijnselen van weerstandsverandering onder electrische invloeden. In 1902 trad hij in dienst van de latere Wageningen University & Research waar hij, toen het een universiteit werd, in 1918 tot hoogleraar werd benoemd met als leeropdrachten natuurkunde, meteorologie en klimatologie; in het tweede studiejaar 1919-1920 was hij rector magnificus van de universiteit. In 1917 deed hij onderzoek naar het gebruik van de wichelroede en toonde aan dat dit gebruik onzin was. Hij publiceerde verschillende werken, met name over onweer en bliksems, landbouwweerkunde, nachtvorst. Hij was voorts secretaris van het het college van curatoren van het KNMI.

Nog in de jaren 1970 en 1980 werd aan zijn werk in de media gerefereerd.

Former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, one of the first men on the moon rescued from South Pole
The medical evacuation flight will be provided by the National Science Foundation, according to a news release on the government agency's website. The statement did not offer a reason for the evacuation, only referring to Aldrin as "ailing."

I will land at Naples Airport on Tuesday 22nd April at 09.50. The plan is to take a bus to Amalfi via Salerno. I think I found the Salerno-Amalfi time table in the previous conversations, but could someone please help and send me the Naples Airport – Salerno timetable? And if the timetables changes frequently, also the Naples Airport – Salerno would be much appreciated.
