Bloggers Wrapped 2019

Bloggers Wrapped 2019 Its my favorite time of year for a variety of reasons. My birthday was a few weeks ago01 I turned 21 and went to The Muddy, MITs grad student run pub, twice on one day , its almost Christmas and its okay to listen to Christmas music again, and SPOTIFY RELEASES SPOTIFY WRAPPED!!! For those of you whove been following the blogs, you probably already know that I love Spotify a lot. I actually love tracking my own music data so much that Im too impatient02 but also too cheap to pay for the full version, lol to wait for Spotify to give me a glimpse once a year, so I use last.fm to track my music year round. But I love the info that Spotify gives because they talk about your trends and provide you with really specific, random things that are just cool to know. So of course, I begged Abby if I could make the blogger Spotify Wrapped compilation because theres nothing I love more than looking at peoples Spotify data. You can observe this below for yourself, but there was an interesting trend this year of people feeling like their Spotify Wrapped didnt represent them in some way. The data that Spotify provides is objective, which means that they are simply returning the artist that played the most songs from, and the genres that you listened to the most songs from. Im sure the data itself isnt wrong. But as Abby brought up last year, people seem to disagree with how the data represents them. I think it brings up an interesting discussion of how objectivity isnt always the Truth with a capital T. But anyways, lets get into the HARD DATA about the bloggers music habits! Blogger: me Most listened to bands03 yes i know its actually albums but most of the bloggers couldnt recognize the album by its cover but we could recognize the band from the winter: She Wants Revenge, Pearl Jam, Arctic Monkeys, The Wombats Most listened to bands from the spring: Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant, Blitzen Trapper, Pearl Jam Most listened to bands from the summer: Pearl Jam, She Wants Revenge, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie Most listened to bands from the fall: Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Taylor Swift, June Carter Favorite04 defined as most listened to artist / Hours listened to them / Top song by them:  She Wants Revenge / 16 hours / Tear You Apart Top 5 artists: She Wants Revenge, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Elephant World Citizen05 defined as the number of countries you listened to artists from : 54 Top genres: Rock, Pop, Indie pop, Showtunes, Modern Bollywood Top 5 songs: Furr by Blitzen Trapper, Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys, Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, Tokyo Vampires Wolves by The Wombats, Head Like A Hole by Nine Inch Nails Top 100 songs playlist: its alright New artists listened to: 725 Best new artist: Blitzen Trapper Minutes listened in 2019: 35,264 Artist of the Decade:  Pearl Jam Comments from the blogger: despite my valiant efforts to listen to more music and change up my taste a bit, my top 100 songs playlist showed me that i listen to the same like 50 songs on repeat and honestly thats true. also i was a little miffed that my artist of the decade was my boyfriends favorite band because that felt too cringey, but honestly theyre really good so im over it.

I am deeply confused at the frequent occurrence of the 1975; I feel like I have listened to them sparingly? Weirdly enough my past three years top songs have been three different Pixies songs off the same album and yet the 1975 is somehow my artist of the decade/ Make it make sense. Cage the Elephant is number one because I had to listen to their new album over and over to learn the songs for a concert I went to. Its not even my favorite album. Led Zeppelin is over-represented because of a 4-5 hour road trip I took over the summer alone, appropriate cruising down the 101 music. If that makes me a boomer then so be it. Also, I cant name a sing le Wavves song. I think that popped up because Twitter drama about him being a landlord prompted me to see what the music is like. I dont remember. Overall, this wrapped is a good summary of what I listen to on repeat to induce a calming, meditative mental state. It just so happens that the music that does that for me is whiney male vocalists backed by loud electric guitars.

I expected Frank Ocean to be in my top 5 artists but he didnt even make my Top Songs playlist..home of phobia.I also feel like this was extremely winter-skewed, probably due to the sheer amount of time (especially IAP) I spent playing music at rowing practice and time in Stud 5th listening to music and studying for the 18.03 ASE.

A University s Ethics - 1514 Words

As Americans look towards the idea of college today, some may agree that the overall goals of a university have drastically changed since the popularity of higher education has increased. If one were to ask the universities what their core values consist of, most institutions would boast about student academics and growth being at the top of the list. As this response may ring true with most colleges in the US, specifically smaller schools, the increase in funds for research and athletic programs have seemingly overtaken the attention of larger, more competitive universities. Higher education has become a more popular choice among ambitious adults, providing them an opportunity to move up in the working world. Further, with this†¦show more content†¦Students, paying thousands of dollars a year to attend college, deserve to receive a decent education; however, this is an ambiguous outcome when the professors are not being compensated as well as they should be. The educators a re delivering the actual learning work while most administrative positions sit in an office all day and get paid more than twice as much for their labor. The values surrounding university athletics have also become a controversial topic of interest among Americans. Over the years, collegiate sports, especially football and basketball, have evolved into commercialized teams around the country. Almost to the level of a professional team, college athletes receive special treatment and an excess of benefits; one of the most significant benefits that most of these athletes collect is free tuition. Depending on the school, colleges will additionally cover a student s housing, dining, and supply fees; not to mention all of the free equipment that already comes with being a college athlete. Derek Bok of the Princeton University Press writes an article about the commercialization and corruption of college athletics, saying, Admissions offices are importuned to

The Night And Maus Book Review Essay - 1365 Words

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II, Winston Churchill, once said, â€Å"Those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.† Throughout Elie Wiesel’s autobiography, Night, his faith in humanity, his belief in God’s justice and his childhood and innocence destroyed and changed his identity as a result of his experiences during the Holocaust. Vladek Spiegelman, a Polish Jew in the book Maus written by Art Spiegelman, struggles through life during this European catastrophe, but does not portray a memory as affecting as Elie Wiesel’s. Night and the book Maus both contextually focus on survivors of the Holocaust, but Night illustrates a more graphic and realistic memory of this gruesome event. The portrayal of memory†¦show more content†¦Most prisoners became self-focused, only concerned with their own self-preservation. They turned against one another in these horrible situations instead of comforting each other in tim es of difficulty. Elie wants people to understand that this crucial memory of inhumane actions brought upon human beings should not be distorted. Not only did he witness such physical abuse, but he also received the same malicious beatings as every other concentration camp prisoner despite his age and size. Other senseless and inhumane acts were forced upon Elie during his time at Auschwitz which ultimately made him question his own God. The Nazi’s treated all Jewish prisoners like worthless farm animals by putting small amounts of food into a trough for everyone to fight for. Starvation and malnutrition was another obstacle Elie had to overcome. Every prisoner suffered with starving stomachs only to live off of an insufficient amount of tiny pieces of bread and a small bowl of soup. These inhumane living conditions made him question for the rest of his life if God even existed. He questions himself throughout the book how a supreme being, an all-powerful and all-knowing God can allow such slaughter and terror upon the human race. Throughout his book Night, Elie Wiesel tries to remain optimistic as to why God is doing this by stating, â€Å"God is testing us.

Romeo And Juliet True Love Essay Example For Students

Romeo And Juliet True Love Essay SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORK PLACESexual harassment has been a prevalent occurrence in workplace across the country. Sexual aberration can lead to damage to personal reputation, loss of dignity, or even physical injury. Although it is illegal, it continues to happen in this politically correct era. Sexual harassment has many definitions and therefore some people find it difficult to define. Many case studies have been done on the subject of sexual harassment in the workplace in such as fields as: liability, procedures and policies, statistics, civil rights, and power issue. According to (Popovich 315) and her colleagues, sexual harassment in the workplace is phenomenon. They were able to do a study with undergraduates describing sexual harassment incidents in the workplace and scripts resulted. Those scripts were then by mixed pairs of trained persons. The analysis was able to show that stereotypical beliefs were obvious, with scripts including the harassment of a younger good-looking female underling, generally a secretary, by a male that was her boss. The behaviors of the scripts had a severe to less severe behavior in different settings. Teasing was a form of public harassment that involved multiple harassers. The victim was treated unprofessional by the bantering harassers. Each form of sexual harassment script was able to show what was deemed as typical behavior, the motive of the harassers, and the response of the victim (Popovich 315). Sexual harassment has been seen as a social interaction. At one time only researchers and feminist theorists were interested in the topic. Today the topic is an organizational issue. There have been many cases on sexual harassment that was brought to the forefront and into American awareness (Popovich 315). The Equal employment Opportunity Commission established guidelines for the problem of sexual harassment in 1980 (Popovich 315). Since that time research on the matter of sexual harassment has increased steadily. In order to understand sexual harassment more fully, various surveys have been used in the research of sexual harassment. It is evidenced that one persons perception of sexual harassment is unlike anothers perception. A persons perception of sexual harassment depends on several factors to include the gender of the person rating the incident, the position of the person involved in the proposed sexual harassment incident (Popovich 315). How is an incident labeled as sexual harassment? According to (Popovich 315) and her colleagues sexual harassment is subjective in nature. This being the case, it is important to actually discover how people define sexual harassment in the workplace. Subjects have been given lists of behavior that is potentially sexual harassment in order to ascertain their viewpoint on the matter. Based on a college student poll that was done nationally, Fitzgerald and her colleagues were able to develop an instrument that reflects the types of sexual harassment. Popovich and her colleagues suggest that there are three types of factors involved in sexual harassment: unwanted sexual attention, sexual coercion, and gender harassment (Popovich 315). A better understanding may be made of the so-called phenomenon of the sexual harassment by determining the rules that people go by, and what is inferred in behavior causality. Little is known concerning the view that people consider as what is typical when examining incidents of sexual harassment (Popovich 315). Due to sexual harassment, in the court system there have been disagreements concerning the excludability of workplace losses from their general liability policies. Liability insurance has typically been limited to providing coverage for such items as bodily harm or damage to property. In sexual harassment cases, some courts have judged continuing employment as a property right. Others have taken a more conservative stance in the matter. If the sexual harassment is intentional, this act can be a hurdle that the insured must overcome. Fischer said that the entire issue can be avoided by the purchase of employment practice liability policies (Fischer B9). There has been an employment of several measures for coping with the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace. Barak stated, Although much of the effort has been provided for special legislation, proper grievance procedures, or actions for organizational change, few attempts have been made to prevent sexual harassment through the application of appropriate training procedures based on effective psycho-educational methods (Barak 595). A seminar using cognitive-behavior techniques was used to provide women with an awareness concerning sexual harassment at work. Although the majority of sexual harassment claims are made by women against the opposite sex, same-gender sexual harassment also occurs. In fact same-gender sexual harassment complaints are growing in the American workplace. The statistics are quite staggering. According to (Sipkins and Schmitt B7) Sexual harassment complaints by men have tripled since 1991 and now make up 11.6% of cases reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and many of these claims involve alleged same-gender sexual harassment (Sipkins and Schmitt B7). According to (Graziano 381) the Civil Rights Act of 1964 named sexual discrimination and granted a right for the remediation of its victims. Women have had centuries of legally and culturally sanctioned abuses; therefore, this act was a fortification for womankind. Unfortunately, however, there has been little effective action by women concerning harassment in the workplace. There has actually been little progress in the area of sexual harassment and the maltreatment of women in the workplace and in schools. Graziano said, As is often the case, laws have not always changed attitudes of employers, professors, physician, lawyers, judges, or colleagues, and the process of redressing wrongs is frequently at least as stressful and injurious to womens mental and physical health as was the original violation of their rights (Graziano 381). Furthermore, The harmful effects of the harassment or legal procedures on the recipients self-esteem, self-image, career, productivity, economic well-bei ng, and relationships are long lasting and sometimes permanent (Graziano 381). According to (Graziano 381) sexual harassments definition is a power issue. In case after case whether the woman is a physician or one that works in a factory, sexual harassment is shown to have a similar experience to rape, abuse that is sexual, and violence that is domestic, in that the women are not believed and they, as victims, are considered at fault. A sexual harassment trial puts the woman on the defensive. She becomes drained emotionally because of the lack of support for her cause (Graziano 381). According to (Desole 155) the issue of sexual harassment is a complex one. It requires a deep understanding. Sexual harassment has clear ramification, which have been seen to explode in scholarly as well as popular media. Desole posits that a great deal has been published concerning the topic of sexual harassment, yet some questions remain unanswered (Desole 155). There has been no sign of sexual harassment decreasing. The 1990s have seen a barrage of instances of sexual harassment in the workplace even though most people are aware of the problem. The court system has become somewhat responsive to the issue of sexual harassment. It is suggested that there are many instances of sexual harassment that do not reach visibility, or conclusion in the matter. Disole suggests that such critical dimensions as race, class, and sexual orientation are not substantially taken into account (Desole 155). Even though there are laws against harassment in the workplace, it perseveres as an issue that is morally degrading, hard to fight, and emotionally draining for the women involved. Several studies have been done on the issue and one constant remains clear: each person has his or her own opinion what constitutes sexual harassment.

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet, is a story of two young lovers, whose love was destined for destruction. They did not imagine that their love would lead to the tragedies that it did. These two young people did nothing wrong except fall in love. Three aspects of their destruction included the feud between the two families, the nurse and her betrayal of Juliet and the most important aspect of all is fate. Romeo and Juliet, said to be one of the most famous love stories of all times, is a play anchored on time and fate. Some actions are believed to occur by chance or by destiny. The timing of each action influences the outcome of the play. While some events are of less significance, some are crucial to the development of this tragedy. The substantial events that inspire the conclusion of Romeo and Juliet are; the family feud, the Capulet ball, the quarrel experienced by Tybalt and Romeo, and Friar Johns plague. The feud between the two families was one factor t hat contributed to the love of Romeo and Juliet being destined for destruction. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny. (Romeo ; Juliet, Prologue, pg.2 l.3) The two families, Montagues and Capulets, had many problems. There was hate between the two families so much so that even the servants hated each other. This feud would have caused many problems for Romeo and Juliet: These two young lovers knew this and this is why they kept their marriage a secret. If their parents discovered their secret, they would have made their childrens lives miserable. Romeo and Juliet would not have been able to see each other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was hardly any thing that would have made them become friends. In the prologue we learn that the only way the strife could be ended was by the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Doth with their death bury their parents strife. (Romeo Juliet, Prologue, l.8) Neither the Montagues or the Capulets would have accepted the marriage. Keepin g the marriage a secret caused Romeo and Juliet to turn to other people for help. Sometimes these people gave themWrong adviceThe Nurse was one of these characters who betrayed the young couple. The Nurse who was also Juliets friend turned against her at a very crucial time. The Nurse told Juliet that it would be best if she married Paris. I think it best you married with the county. (Romeo Juliet, pg.101, III, v, l.219) This betrayal by the Nurse left Juliet alone. She was a wise young woman but it still would have been beneficial for her to have the help of the Nurse. Juliet was left on her own to make some very important decisions. I believe that if the Nurse had been around to help Juliet things may have turned out differently. Juliet had no one to turn to and ask for help. She could not have gone to her parents because they would not have understood. The Nurse was supposed to be one of Juliets best friends. Now when it was important for Juliet to have someone there, for her sh e was betrayed. A servant to Capulet, who is incapable of reading the list of guests, asks for Romeos assistance. Romeo notices that Rosaline, his lover, is among these names. Benvolio challenges Romeo to compare her with other beauties. Benvolio predicts, Compare her face with some that I shall show,/ And I will make thee think thy swan a crow. (I, ii, l 86-87) To show his appreciation, the servant asks for Romeos presence at the ball. Romeo should have considered the servants warning; if Romeo occupies the name of Montague, he shall not be permitted. Once at the ball, Romeo is searching for a maiden to substitute the unrequited love of Rosaline. Romeo happens to gaze upon Juliet, who charms Romeo. Romeo proclaims, Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For neer saw true beauty till this night. (I, v, l 52-53) Since Romeo declares his love for Juliet, she feels the attraction also. They believe that they are in love and must marry. However, it is a genuine coincidence that Romeo and Juli et were at the same place, at the same time. Some days after the ball, Benvolio and Mercutio are conversing, in regard to the quarrelsome weather. Benvolio declares, The day is hot, the Capulets abroad,/ And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl,/ For now these got days is the mad blood stirring. (III, i, l 2-4) At this point, Tybalt, who has challenged Romeo because of his appearance at the masquerade, enters, seeking Romeo. On Romeos behalf, Mercutio struggles with Tybalt, while Romeo, who is filled with love for his new cousin, tries to end their boldness. Before escaping, Tybalt plunges his sword into Mercutio, causing death to fall upon him. Mercutio blames Romeo and the feud for his fate. Romeo kills Tybalt, who taunts Romeo, upon his return. Romeo fears he will be condemned to death if he does not flee before the arrival of the Prince. Benvolio recalls the events that have happened, with some embellishment. The Prince declares: And for that offence/ Immediately we do exile hi m hence./ I hav an in your hates proceeding,/ My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding;/ But Ill amerce you with so strong a fine/ That you shall repent the loss of mine./ I will be deaf to pleading and excuses;/ Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses;/ Therefore use none. Let Romeo hence in haste,/ Else, when hes found, that hour is his last./ Bear hence this body and attend our will./ Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill. (III, i, l 185-195) Due to the disturbance of Veronas street and the losses of Tybalt and Mercutio, the Prince must penalize Romeo. However, the Prince agrees that Romeo was acting in self defense. Juliet, who desires not to wed Paris, asks for Friar Laurences assistance. The day before the wedding, Juliet is to drink the poison, which will make her appear to be dead. In forty two hours she shall awake, with Romeo by her side. Romeo will then bring her to Mantua with him. In the meantime Friar Laurence will convey a message to Romeo in M antua, telling him the plot. When she gains consciousness, Romeo and Friar Laurence will be there. Friar Laurence says, Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift,/ And hither shall he come; and he and I/ Will watch thy waking (IV, i, l 114-116) Following Juliets intake of the poison, Romeo is anticipating news from Verona. Balthasar, a servant to Romeo, tells Romeo that Juliet has passed on. Romeo, who is told there are no letters from the friar, seeks a way to accomplish his suicide. Meanwhile, Friar Laurence, confronts Friar John, who was to deliver the letter to Romeo. Friar John informs Friar Laurence that he was seeking another Franciscan, who was visiting the sick, to accompany him to Mantua. He says, Suspecting that we both were in a house/ Where the infectious pestilence did reingn,/ Seald up the doors, and would not let us forth;/ (V, ii, l 9-11) Friar John tells that he could find no one to deliver the letter, for fear they may catch the infection. When considering the dest ruction of Romeo and Juliet the most sifnificant fact you must think about is fate. Fate, above all, destroyed Romeo and Juliet. Many instances in the play reveals that the love of Romeo and Juliet would end in death. A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life. (Romeo ; Juliet,pg.2, Prologue, l.6) From the very beginning it is evident that they were destined by the stars to bad fortune. Some people may think that there is no way to control fate or change what is in the stars. It could be that the love of Romeo and Juliet was destined for death so that their parents feud would be over. Also, in the prologue it states that the dreadful course of their love was destined for death. The fearful passage of their death marked love. (Romeo Juliet, pg.2, Prologue, l.9) Both of these quotes show us that the love of these two was destined to end tragically. The masquerade party was above all the most important aspect of fate. The fact that Romeo was wearing a mask and his face was hidden a llowed juliet to fall in love with him before she saw who it was. If Juliet had known who Romeo was she would probably have not fallen in love with him. Fate could not have been changed whatever was meant to be would happen and no one could change that.

Lab Report on Yeast Fermentation Essay Example

Lab Report on Yeast Fermentation Paper The chemical reactions within yeast are facilitated by enzymes; most enzymes optimal temperature range is warm. The warmer the water, the more the enzymes are in their optimal temperature angle and the more efficiently they catalyst chemical reaction; this makes the fermentation proceed more quickly. In this experiment, the effect of variation of temperature on the fermentation of yeast was tested. If temperature affects the fermentation of the yeast, then the rate of yeast fermentation will change with the different levels of temperature. To perform this experiment the following materials were used: 3 empty, clean water bottles, 3 latex balloons, 3 rubber bands, glass measuring cup (1 -cup capacity), teaspoon, tablespoon, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 10 degree Celsius water, 29 degree Celsius water, 43 agree Celsius water, and 3 packets of active dry yeast. To start this experiment, each empty, dry water bottle was filled with one 1/4 ounce packet of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and 1 cup of room temperature distilled water. A latex balloon was then secured on the top of each bottle with a rubber band. 3 glass bowls were filled with water of varying temperatures. One water bottle filled with the yeast solution was placed in a glass bowl at 10 degrees Celsius, one placed in a bowl of 29 degrees Celsius, and the other placed in a bowl at 43 degrees Celsius. We will write a custom essay sample on Lab Report on Yeast Fermentation specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now We will write a custom essay sample on Lab Report on Yeast Fermentation specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer We will write a custom essay sample on Lab Report on Yeast Fermentation specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer By keeping all glass bowls at their constant initial temperature, observations and results found that temperature does indeed have effect on the fermentation of yeast. The water bottle that was placed in the cold water (10 degrees Celsius) had no change after 20 minutes. The water bottle placed in the room temperature water (29 degrees Celsius) experienced change after 20 minutes; the solution slightly foamed inside the water bottle as the yeast fermented and the balloon inflated to a diameter of 21 h CM. The water bottle placed in the warm water (43 degrees Celsius) experienced change after 20 minutes as well; the solution created very much foam inside the water bottle (about 2 inches above initial solution volume level) and the balloon inflated to a diameter of 30 CM. The picture above was taken with an phone to show visual results gathered by the experiment conducted. In conclusion, the higher the temperature of the water in the glass bowl, the more fermentation the yeast had.
