May the 4th be with you!

yeah, I know, real original. Probably seen thousands of these Star Wars Day posts on various media, so um… one more couldn’t hurt, right?

A meme inspired by the last video

*when you and your friend are doing homework*

“General Kenobi”

“commander Cody”

“the siege goes well. With our continued barrage (efforts) their shield (homework assignments) should be down in three months.”

“but we’ve been here a month already!”

“yes, sir, we’re right on schedule.” *leaves for bathroom break without warning.*

Just watched An Unorthodox Education (You can watch it for free although they do suggest you give a donation.) and although I knew most of the stuff they talked about already it made me so mad. It made me want to go full electoral and just do anything I could to make sure that no candidate for any NYC office who didn’t want to do anything about yeshivas would ever win office.

Music companies on how tech is changing the industry for the better

This week's magazine features a special report on hi-tech advances in the business - from remote working to livestreaming. Here, a handful of forward-thinking execs offer their thoughts on the subject...

Written: 25.11.2020

Today, ‘music week’ released an article surrounding the infinite opportunities and possibilities technology has created for the music industry. After all, the creative industries have had to completely shift their business practices in order to avoid catastrophic storm that is Coronavirus. 

After reading this article I agree with ‘PPL chief Peter Leathem,’ whereby he explains that technology has allowed us to extend our communications within the industry and collaborate with others outside of our immediate circle. However, in my opinion, before the pandemic, technology was a big part of our creative/business practices but we became too comfortable within these practices. I believe coronavirus forced us to seek outside the realms of our conscious thoughts to allow new ideas to cultivate themselves and adaptations to take place. Ultimately, this has perpetuated the music industry further and further afield into a new, exciting space. 

Coronavirus has caused much disruption, sadness and despair throughout the world. But it has also completely shifted the creative industries and maybe for the a better future...

I feel much batter about my Beloved analysis now. Tomorrow my plan is to type up my chemistry notes on amines. I didnt understand my lesson on it at all. Doing A level chemistry is tough.
