![]() ![]() Horus was protected and nursed while a baby by the goddess Hathor, who was worshipped in the ritual of the Shaking of the Papyrus. Horus grew to manhood here, hidden among the swaying reeds whose rustling sounds soothed him and masked his cries, until he emerged to defeat his wicked uncle and reclaim his patrimony ( 50.85). In one of the great mythic cycles central to Egyptian religion, the goddess Isis took her infant son Horus to the papyrus thickets of the north to conceal him from her brother Seth, who had murdered her husband Osiris and usurped his throne. The single-handed defeat of these chaotic creatures by a king or noble, often depicted on the walls of temples and elite tombs, was emblematic of the maintenance of the ordered cosmos against the forces of entropy ( 30.4.48). Teeming with wild birds and fish as well as dangerous animals such as hippopotami and crocodiles, all seen as incarnations of Egypt’s enemies, these were the setting for ritual hunts. Papyrus thickets were seen as liminal zones at the edges of the ordered cosmos, symbols of the untamed chaos that surrounded and perpetually threatened the Egyptian world. Ceilings in temples and tombs were frequently supported with columns in the form of papyrus plants, turning their architectural settings into models of this primeval marsh ( 68.154). Papyrus marshes were thus seen as fecund, fertile regions that contained the germs of creation ( 30.4.136). ![]() In ancient Egyptian cosmology, the world was created when the first god stood on a mound that emerged from limitless and undifferentiated darkness and water, a mythical echo of the moment each year when the land began to reappear from beneath the annual floodwaters. The goddess Wadjet, depicted as a rearing cobra ( 07.228.14) or a woman with the head of a lioness ( 35.9.2), was the tutelary deity of Lower Egypt, and often is shown carrying a papyrus-shaped scepter. When shown wound around the hieroglyph for “unite,” these two plants formed an emblem for the unification of the Two Lands of Egypt ( 15.5.1). Due to its prevalence in the Nile Delta, the papyrus was the heraldic plant of Lower (northern) Egypt, while the lily or lotus stood for Upper (southern) Egypt. An amulet in this shape was worn at the throat for protection and health ( ). A hieroglyph in the form of a papyrus plant was used in the writing of the word wadj, meaning fresh, flourishing, and green. The pharaonic word for papyrus was tjufy (with mehyt used as a more general term for marsh plants). From a horizontal root, the slender but sturdy stalks, topped by feathery umbels ending in small brown fruit-bearing flowers, can reach up to five meters in height ( 30.4.60). ![]() Needing shallow fresh water or water-saturated earth to grow, dense papyrus thickets were found in the marshes of the Nile Delta and also in the low-lying areas fringing the Nile valley. ![]() A member of the sedge family, the papyrus ( Cyperus papyrus) was an integral feature of the ancient Nilotic landscape, essential to the ancient Egyptians in both the practical and symbolic realms. ![]()

![]() The knife is double-sided, one on both ends, so you get two different blades in one package. The knife offers a 5.5 inches long overall length. The Pampered Chef presents a nifty grapefruit knife, which means business! The performance is amazing, you will have nothing to complain about, and the design is pretty practical too. In this article, I’ve reviewed few models that are considered the right investment by the users. So, to buy the best grapefruit knife for your cutlery set, do yourself a favor and research before leaning towards any one model. You get a finer outcome with minimum struggle. And the process is way easier than doing with an ordinary knife this is the plus of using a specialized knife. It has a curved & serrated blade that helps you scoop up the fruit from the rind in a clean sweep, so you don’t lose much flesh. Thus comes the grapefruit knife in the equation. You see, regular kitchen knives may do the job somehow, but you cannot avoid the squirting muddle which it will make in the process. ![]() For users such as you, a grapefruit knife was designed to deal with them, so you can get fresh & clean cuts every time. ![]() Fruits such as this always make a mess while slicing them up, so if your diet includes this fruit, you understand the hassle. The sole reason being, the fruit itself has complicated anatomy, the pulp of the fruit is closely attached to the skin, not to mention the fibers of the membrane. Preparing grapefruits can be a handful of a job, and serving them neat is more so. ![]() ![]() ![]() Which ties into why, so often, an Unplugged session would come over as little more than somebody making a virtue of busking their own hits. It’s pop music’s own #nofilter hashtag, its equivalent of the pompous bores who blather on about how they think women are just more beautiful, more natural, without make-up, as if it’s any of their damn business. ![]() Because we all know that acoustic = authentic and electronic = artificial, right? We’ve known it at least since Dylan went electric. Which would, crucially, render their music more authentic. The implicit idea behind the Unplugged setup was that, by converting their songs to an acoustic format, acts would not only uncover those songs’ true qualities – Behold! Here they stand, unadorned and naked! Judge them now, without gaudy fripperies to conceal or enhance! – but somehow strip themselves down to their core, reveal their essence. Not only would MTV Unplugged In New York prove entirely different to any other Nirvana album, it was intended to be entirely different to any other Unplugged recording – and tellingly, no other entry in the series has attained its classic status, or anything close to it. This was a collection of deep cuts and covers, the latter (six) outnumbering the original songs from any one Nirvana album ( Nevermind supplied most, with four). You might not be able to invoke MTV Unplugged In New York to explain why Nirvana were popular, but today it is exhibit A in the case for their greatness.Īt the time it was recorded – November 1993, a year before its eventual release - Nirvana had issued five singles that could be described as hits (and only two earlier ones that couldn’t.) Just one of these, ‘Come As You Are’, made the setlist for the MTV session. It was the first album released by Nirvana after the death of Kurt Cobain, and it was a huge commercial and critical success (although one suspects almost anything bearing the band’s name would have been at that juncture.) It’s also – and while this would certainly have been a provocative claim at the time, the passage of those 25 years seems to bear it out – the best thing they ever did. Nirvana stand alongside other, more cultish figures, such as thunderous, doomy backwoods neo-pysch group Screaming Trees (more of them anon), soul-by-other-means rockers Afghan Whigs, and sinister liquid-metal act Alice In Chains, as a grunge band who weren’t who had far more intriguing and expansive and exotic ideas.Īnd the artefact, the document, that shows this most clearly is also a quarter of a century old. With Britpop, the queerer and artier acts that snuck through the door it kicked open, the likes of Suede and Pulp (granted, nobody’s forgotten Oasis, but that meteorite of a first album aside, they were instant dinosaurs – functionally extinct, but still stomping around, too big to avoid.) With grunge, curiously, it’s the band that did the door-kicking in the first place who didn’t quite fit in the standard-bearers who never belonged to the actual army. What lives on of these movements? What from that time has lasted and, it appears, will last in the collective memory? In both cases, for the most part, the things that didn’t quite fit in. While grunge, for all its out-with-the-old posturing, harked back to the kind of trad rock whose year zero is 1968, and whose definitive constituents are the singer as howling priest of hypermasculinity and the guitarist as an axe-wielding demigod or maybe, by that point, a hemidemisemigod, this being the twilight of such deities. ![]() ![]() In the case of Britpop, this manifested in the fetishisation of the mid-1960s less as a glorious and effervescent creative swirl always grasping at the new (which they were, for a while), and more as a Swinging London theme park in which make-believe came true through faith and fanboy mimicry. Each was, depending on how you prefer to see it, a last hurrah or a dead cat bounce for the musical form it represented – as a force of invention, if not a commercial one. In a further lack of coincidence, it’s a quarter of a century since the peak of seemingly disparate movements in those places – Britpop and grunge, respectively – which had a great deal more in common than was apparent at the time.īoth were fundamentally retrogressive. Not coincidentally, it’s a quarter of a century since straight white guys from Britain and America did the same. It’s a quarter of a century since rock last held unquestioned sway over mainstream popular music. ![]() ![]() ![]() To make a hanging bat mobile, cut out the outer rim of a paper plate as the top of a mobile.Hang the bat templates upside down on tree branches so it looks a colony of sleeping bats.To make them extra spooky, glue some glow-in-the-dark googly eyes on them!

The new jack swing sound is particularly evident in the second single, " Nasty". Ripani PhD, author of The New Blue Music: Changes in Rhythm & Blues, 1950–1999 (2006), observed that the album was one of the first successful records to influence the rise of new jack swing by creating a fusion of R&B, rap, funk, disco and synthesized percussion. After that, Jam & Lewis produced Janet Jackson's digital R&B album, Control (1986). Some music critics said Full Force's "Alice, I Want You Just for Me" (1985) was the first new jack swing song, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis called Full Force and said Alice was their favorite song, and their favorite group was Full Force. Riley as well as drummer Lenny White credit the start of new jack swing to English singer-songwriter and producer Junior Giscombe and his 1985 single "Oh Louise". ![]() Kyle West remembered 1985 as the year he listened to new jack swing with Teddy Riley. History Janet Jackson's Control, released in 1986, was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the 1980s. New jack swing took up the trend of using sampled beats and tunes, and created beats using electronic drum machines such as the SP-1200 sampler and Roland TR-808 to lay an "insistent beat under light melody lines and clearly enunciated vocals." The Roland TR-808 was sampled to create distinctive, syncopated, swung rhythms, with its snare sound being especially prominent. Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines new jack swing as "pop music usually performed by black musicians that combines elements of jazz, funk, rap, and rhythm and blues." Digital synthesizers were heavily used, notably the Yamaha DX7, Korg M1 and Roland D-50. Spearheaded by producers Teddy Riley, Bernard Belle, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, new jack swing was most popular from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Suggest a correction in the comments below.New jack swing, new jack, or swingbeat is a fusion genre of the rhythms and production techniques of hip hop and dance-pop, and the urban contemporary sound of R&B. The song's overall message is an expression of self-confidence and authority, with Trapson showcasing his musical prowess, street credibility, and status as the new "King."Ĭontributed by Anthony N. The second verse touches more on the controversies surrounding Jackson's life, referencing the Conrad Murray trial and Gavin Arvizo's accusations. Michael Trapson then goes on to describe his rebellious persona, how he turns up the beat, swag, and heat, and how he has left a woman on the curb. He shouts out his love for money, women, and attention, and brags about driving a drop-top car with a gun in the glove compartment. In the first verse, the artist boasts about his status and wealth, referencing the infamous Neverland Ranch that belonged to Michael Jackson. The opening lines, "You don't want no smoke" sets the tone for the song and appears to be a message to anyone who would try to challenge Michael Trapson's status as the "King." Throughout the song, the artist highlights his success and fame while playfully referencing some of the controversies surrounding Jackson's life. The song "Neverland Dungeon" by Michael Trapson features a mix of rap and pop with lyrics that pay homage to the late Pop King, Michael Jackson. I look at that chick like she weird (ooow!)
