Steven Ettinger wrote:īilly Joel captured the major images, events, and personalities of this half-century in a three-minute song. Though the lyrics are rapid-fire with several people and events mentioned in each stanza, there is widespread agreement on the meaning of the lyrics. Problems playing this file? See media help. He was asked if he could do a follow-up about the next couple of years after the events that transpired in the original song, and he commented: "No, I wrote one song already and I don't think it was really that good to begin with, melodically". When asked if he deliberately intended to chronicle the Cold War with his song he responded: "It was just my luck that the Soviet Union decided to close down shop ", and that this span "had a symmetry to it, it was 40 years" that he had lived through. If you take the melody by itself, terrible. In 1993, when discussing it with documentary filmmaker David Horn, Joel compared its melodic content unfavorably to his song " The Longest Time": "Take a song like 'We Didn't Start the Fire.' It's really not much of a song . Joel later criticized the song on strictly musical grounds. Joel later said those headlines formed the basic framework for the song. ![]() Joel retorted: "Wait a minute, didn't you hear of the Korean War or the Suez Canal Crisis?". You were a kid in the fifties and everybody knows that nothing happened in the fifties". The friend replied: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's different for you. Joel replied: "Yeah, I remember when I was 21 – I thought it was an awful time and we had Vietnam, and y'know, drug problems, and civil rights problems and everything seemed to be awful". He was in a recording studio and met a 21-year-old friend of Sean Lennon who said "It's a terrible time to be 21!". "We Didn't Start the Fire", particularly in the 21st century, has become the basis of many pop culture parodies, and continues to be repurposed in various television shows, advertisements, and comedic productions.īilly Joel conceived the idea for the song when he had just turned 40. Storm Front became Joel's third album to reach number one in the US. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and became Joel's third single to reach number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 in late 1989. A list song, its fast-paced lyrics include brief references to 118 significant political, cultural, scientific, and sporting events between 1949 (the year of Joel's birth) and 1989, in mainly chronological order. The song was released as a single on September 18, 1989, and later released as part of Joel's album Storm Front on October 17, 1989. " We Didn't Start the Fire" is a song written and published by American musician Billy Joel.

As someone who in general doesn’t like holiday releases, that was a big shock. I was SO excited and pumped about this holiday collection. I am torn on how I feel about this collection. ![]() My photos show Queen Of Bling in 3 coats plus 2 coats of top coat. If you want 0 visible nail, sponging this on would be the route to go. I will note, this is the type of “full coverage” glitter where you can see your nail in between the space of the glitters. Texture wise, nothing in here is super textured but the glitters do seem a little top coat hungry.įor full coverage, this polish will be a solid 3 coater.Coverage is sparse enough in 1 coat that this will work well as a topper. I think there are also some small metallic gold flakes in here. ![]() The glitters in here are pretty small in comparison to the other polishes in this release (with the exception of Get Your Glitter On). This was the polish that I thought was going to be my favorite just based on colors. This polish is incredibly sparkly and looks really beautiful on the nail. I didn’t have any application issues outside of needing thinner. Queen Of Bling had a good formula, once I added some thinner to it. If It Sparkles It’s Mineĭescription: a clear base with metallic gold glitters in a few sizes with (maybe?) gold metallic flakes My photos show I Speak Glitter in 3 coats plus 2 coats of top coat. With the exception of a spot where I had a glitter hanging off the side of my nail, that smoothed this out nicely. So I did pair this one with a glitter smoothing top coat before my quick dry top coat. This polish dries down pretty textured due to the sheer amount of glitters in this polish. I wish they came out easier and/or there were more of them. I just feel that you have to be looking really closely at the nails to see the star glitters. My only complaint about this polish is I thought the star glitters get kind of lost in the mix of bar and hex glitters. I was able to get a few out on then ail without doing any fishing but I did find that stars get kind of lost after 3 coats. The hex and bar glitters come out pretty easily but the star glitters are a bit more shy. I Speak Glitter had a good formula, once I added some thinner to it. I Speak Glitterĭescription: a clear base with metallic turquoise hex glitter, silver holo bar glitters and silver holo star shaped glitter I did end up doing some glitter placement as I had to push the glitters around with my brush to even out coverage. My photos show Glitter Is The New Black in 3 coats coats. When built up like in my photos, a glitter smoothing top coat (I use KBShimmer’s Smooth Moves) is going to be your best friend. You get a lot of texture with this one due to the glitter shreds. I realized when recording my live swatch that this looks really cool in 1 coat as a topper. I think this would have been a cool addition to a Halloween collection tbh. ![]() I love that China Glaze added holo to this polish as this is the only one in this release that doesn’t scream ‘holiday’ to me. On the negative side, I did have a few times where I had to wipe my brush off on a paper towel to clear my brush off a glob of glitter shreds. So on the positive side, I didn’t need to do any glitter fishing. I found application a little tricky as the black shreds had a tendency to glob together and make for well chunks on the nail. Glitter Is The New Black had a not great but not terrible formula, once I added some thinner.

Such an injury may well lead to spinal cord involvement, and as a consequence quadriplegia or death may occur. This often happens at the C2 level, where the body of C2 moves anteriorly with respect to C3. The worst-case scenario for these injuries is that dislocation or subluxation of the cervical vertebrae occurs. Again, since the vertebral foramen is large there is less chance of spinal cord involvement. ![]() In more severe cases, fractures can occur to any of the cervical vertebrae as they are suddenly compressed by rapid deceleration. In minor cases, the anterior longitudinal ligament of the spine is damaged which is acutely painful for the patient. Hyperextension (Whiplash) InjuryĪ rear-end traffic collision or a poorly performed rugby tackle can both result in the head being whipped back on the shoulders, causing whiplash. However, there may be damage further down the vertebral column. Since the vertebral foramen is large, it is unlikely that there will be damage to the spinal cord at the C1 level. If the fall occurs with enough force, the transverse ligament of the atlas may also be ruptured. This causes them to be driven apart, fracturing one or both anterior/posterior arches. diving into excessively shallow water can compress the lateral masses of the atlas between the occipital condyles and the axis. nodding.Ĭlinical Relevance: Injuries to the Cervical Spine Jefferson Fracture of the AtlasĪ vertical fall onto an extended neck e.g. These are condyloid type synovial joints, and permit flexion at the head i.e. ![]() They occur between then superior facets of the lateral masses of the atlas and the occipital condyles at the base of the cranium. The atlanto-occipital joints consist of an articulation between the spine and the cranium. Medial atlanto-axial joint – formed by the articulation of the dens of C2 with the articular facet of C1.Lateral atlanto-axial joints (x2) – formed by the articulation between the inferior facets of the lateral masses of C1 and the superior facets of C2.The atlanto-axial joints are formed by the articulation between the atlas and the axis: There are two joints unique to the cervical spine – the atlanto-axial (x3) and atlanto-occipital joints (x2). Between vertebral arches – formed by the articulation of superior and inferior articular processes from adjacent vertebrae.This is a type of cartilaginous joint, known as a symphysis. Between vertebral bodies – adjacent vertebral bodies are joined by intervertebral discs, made of fibrocartilage. ![]() There are two different joints present throughout the vertebral column: The joints of the cervical spine can be divided into two groups – those that are present throughout the vertebral column, and those unique to the cervical spine. ![]() The axis also contains superior articular facets, which articulate with the inferior articular facets of the atlas to form the two lateral atlanto-axial joints. This allows for rotation of the head independently of the torso. The dens articulates with the anterior arch of the atlas, in doing so creating the medial atlanto-axial joint. The axis (C2) is easily identifiable due to its dens (odontoid process) which extends superiorly from the anterior portion of the vertebra. The posterior arch has a groove for the vertebral artery and C1 spinal nerve. This is secured by the transverse ligament of the atlas – which attaches to the lateral masses. The anterior arch contains a facet for articulation with the dens of the axis. Instead, the atlas has lateral masses which are connected by an anterior and posterior arch. Each lateral mass contains a superior articular facet (for articulation with occipital condyles), and an inferior articular facet (for articulation with C2). It differs from the other cervical vertebrae in that it has no vertebral body and no spinous process. The atlas is the first cervical vertebra and articulates with the occiput of the head and the axis (C2). The atlas and axis have additional features that mark them apart from the other cervical vertebrae.

Drawdown quotes Bloomberg, and suggests that, by 2030, wind will be the cheapest of all electricity sources. The result: a staggering 84.6 gigatons of C02 are avoided because of reduced reliance on fossil fuels. The book models a plausible scenario in which onshore wind goes from providing about three percent of global electricity today to 21.6 percent in 2050. One of the most important – the second most effective overall – is expansion of wind turbines. Even if one cares nothing about climate, one can see the value, for example, of renewable energy’s contribution to employment. It has the potential to be much larger because he emphasizes the solutions’ ancillary benefits. If he spoke only about GHG-reduction his readership would be narrow. If the goal is movement-building, Hawken’s approach is smart. We know we can’t avoid the cataclysmic impacts of global warming by only focusing on achieving zero net carbon emissions we must also rapidly re-sequester carbon. The climate solutions generate good jobs, save trillions of dollars, empower women and create beauty. Hawken sees global warming “not as an inevitability but as an invitation to build, innovate, and effect change, a pathway that awakens creativity, compassion, and genius.” Mindful of the dangers, he nevertheless finds great opportunities for human advancement – moral and intellectual. Toward this end, the book outlines 100 climate solutions – 80 of which we can embark upon right away and 20 of which are “coming attractions” that will be available soon.ĭrawdown has a wonderful embedded optimism. ![]() ![]() Drawdown’s foreword states the thesis succinctly: “We know we can’t avoid the cataclysmic impacts of global warming by only focusing on achieving zero net carbon emissions we must also rapidly re-sequester carbon.” At this moment in history we also need to remove from the atmosphere – and safely store – carbon that already exists. Editor Paul Hawken, who made his name with such environmental classics as Natural Capitalism and The Ecology of Commerce, says reducing or even halting new greenhouse gas emissions is not enough. Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming is a book that addresses the climate crisis at its very roots. 6/27/2023 0 Comments Paypal logo hd![]() In this gallery "PayPal" we have 25 free PNG images with transparent background.
