One day someone had a vision of a perfect world, and for that he'll have to become a leader. An unstoppable leader. Therefore he had to become a politician. His family was proud of him, seeing that he tries to do the best for every citizen. But in actually, it's all a ruse. He already has his ideals set. A dictatorship with him on the top and all the worthless and idiotic maggots beneath him. The criminals, all of them, must be punished. They live on the taxes of the hard working people, hurt them beforehand and even get a chance of redemption afterwards! This is no true justice, he'll have to stop it once and for all. And everyone who dares to oppose him is also a crime filled pestilence to this world! But how will he do it? How will he start? Will he join an already existing party? No, they're all corrupted, manipulated by money and power. He'll create his own one, with only people allowed to join who have the same ideals. Obviously he can't talk about getting rid of the democracy in his election program, he will have to formulate it in a precise way, that the brainless voter base will not understand. The other political parties try to stop him, but by now he's already leading in the polls. They try to proof that he's a disturbance to actual justice, but his way of talking, his way of describing his plans, makes him untouchable for the oh so flawed judicial system that was the protection of these frauds until now. That's when another person enters the light. A pale man, who's job is to stop criminals as the best of all detectives. Every clue can and will be found by him. He was hired by the president, seeing the threat to the society that wasn't discovered by most yet. Although this is not similar to his usual cases, he accepted. During a speech of the seeker of true justice, this man started a debate with him. And for the very first time, the man of justice couldn't win. He knew it and he had to retreat. Luckily for him, he was still able to make this duell a draw, due to the fact that the detective wasn't that invested in politics before and couldn't respond twice in the end. Before he left, he announced his own party. Who was this person? Who was he, to try to stop the absolute justice to get on its throne? For the first time, the polls didn't shift in his favour, he lost 3 points to the detective that was barely known to public until now. The other parties also lost some points to him, and in this single day this detective became a major player for

This seems to be a common practice in lots of styles like habanera or pasodoble. I thought of "picardy chorus", similar the "picardy cadence".

It's likely a huge coincidence since I don't see any similar movies in Lauren's "Now Watching" stories on Instagram, nor on her Letterboxd account. But it's a fun coincidence that parallels can be drawn in almost every line!

Just a few examples - from the first line "Waste a month - waste a year." Tony and Faye piss around for what feels like a a month, then she suddenly leaves Hong Kong for a year. Specifically, she leaves for California.

California is a recurring subject throughout their half of the movie. She dreams of going to California so much that her favorite song "California Dreamin" plays in the background about a dozen times throughout the movie. Tony attaches the song to his memory of Faye after she suddenly leaves for California. Hence "Found the song - played it back. Heard your voice under the feedback." It's worth noting that Faye never indicated if or when she would return.

And of course the last line, "Pull me into the screen at the end." I love that it solidifies the idea that Lauren is referring to a movie. Anyone who likes this movie knows that feeling in the last shot. Where do you want to go?

There are many examples of the opposite, but come to think of it, I don't think I've heard such a case. Do you think it would be strange, even for Bach, a master of counterpoint and modulation?

I just finished a playthrough of AC4 and remembered hearing somewhere that AC4 was meant to be a spiritual remake of AC2. I wanted to compile some of the parallels I found during my playthrough. Here are just a few, please feel free to add more.

- At the end of AC4, during the credits, the reflection in the monitor displaying the credits appears to be a recreation of the loading screen of AC2.

- The fact that its reflected is apt, as the progress of the game is exactly the reverse of AC2 (AC2 starts at the Twinkle Islands and ends in a final assault on Fortress Intolerance at North Point. AC4 starts at North Point and ends in an assault on Megalith at the Twinkle Islands)

- In AC3D Cross Rumble (the remake of AC2), they mention that Fortress Intolerance was scheduled to be demolished but was only just saved from demolition to be used potentially against Ulysses. Megalith was under construction the entire war, and only just completed at the end of the war to be used on the Ulysses fragments left in orbit

- Both Fortress Intolerance and Megalith are destroyed by destroying a giant missile in the central silo

- (this one is likely less concrete but kinda fun) The aerial battles before attacking the final fortress almost seem to be the reverse of each other.

In AC2 (assuming you shot down all the ZOE aircraft), you fight the ADF-01 FALKEN, a culmination of all the ZOE enemies you've fought and conquered until then, evolving and changing its tactics until it throws everything it has at you, it's your last challenge. And it stands between you and stopping a war.

In AC4, Megalith is defended by the remaining Yellow Squadron, who you've fought and conquered throughout the game, first shooting down one, then a handful, then entirely besting them at Farbanti. Their tactics don't really change, but you do. When you meet the last of Yellow Squadron, they have a few more planes, but by this time you are experienced in how to beat them. And they are standing between you and stopping a catastrophe. You could say, the Yellow Squadron are not the final boss of the game, Mobius 1 is the final boss. You don't have to survive them, THEY have to survive YOU.

This is just a few of the parallels I've noticed, mostly in the final mission. If anyone has any more, plz post them in the comments!

I saw a post on music.stackexchange discussing the relationship between modes and keys when composing modal music. The accepted answer was that the parallel major/minor key should be used as the key signature. For example, when notating a song in G Mixolydian, the key signature would be G major and the composer would just write in the flat symbol next to the 7ths.

My question is, wouldn’t it make more sense to instead write it in C major(edit: use the key signature with no sharps or flats) since the notes all match G Mixolydian? Mixolydian is a fairly tame example since it only has one accidental, but what about something in Phrygian or heaven forbid Locrian? It seems this would be harder on both the musician and the composer. Is it just that the tonal center is something that should never be compromised?

We started of by discussing what Omega may have been inspired by. Bare in mind i'm tired as I write this, so forgive me if it's somewhat incoherent. Some of these comparisons are a little rough but the discussion was pretty fun.

Omega has a few traits that really stood out as odd to me, namely the bow. We started piecing things together and realized Omega shares a lot of traits with Artemis. Being a standout, lone female clone, the bow being a very unique weapon to her, and the overall design with the head piece she wears being very reminiscent of the tiara artemis is often depicted wearing. Artemis is the Daughter of Zeus. And who happens to be closely associated with lightning in star wars? Palpatine, the one who orchestrated the creation of the clone army.

Boba Fett was the second connection we made. The brother of Artemis, Apollo. Boba fett is a very skilled bounty hunter, a trait paralleled by Apollo being known for hunting. Boba is also heavily associated with Tatooine, a planet famously known for having two suns. While that's a weak connection at best, I think it's helped by the fact that Boba usurps jabba's palace, arguably one of the most important places on the planet politically. To further add to the connection of Apollo and Artemis. The twin gods were born on the Island of Delos, which, being an island means it is surrounded by ocean, a parallel to Kamino being an oceanic planet. Delos is also uninhabited currently, so possible foreshadowing?

Onto the bad batch themselves. Tech and Wrecker were fantastically easy, being easy parallels for Hephaestus and Ares respectively. Crosshair was quickly paralleled Hades, a god that remained separate from the others, and the general association with evil. Crosshairs squad consisting of 3 members (remember, there used to be 4 but one was killed), can easily be connected to Cerberus, the three headed dog of Hades, complete with a flamethrower wielded by one of the

I am doing a reread and am near the end of AGOT and noticed some minor lines in Sansas final chapter that touch on similar themes as Arya's chapters. One of Arya's sayings that she repeats in her head is "watching is not seeing", which is from Syrio's final lesson to her, the morning Ned was arrested and the Winterfell men killed.

"Left. Left. High. Left. Right. Left. Low. Left!"

The wooden blade caught her high in the breast, a sudden stinging blow that hurt all the more because it came from the wrong side. "Ow," she cried out. She would have a fresh bruise there by the time she went to sleep, somewhere out at sea. A bruise is a lesson, she told herself, and each lesson makes us better.

Syrio stepped back. "You are dead now."

Arya made a face. "You cheated," she said hotly. "You said left and you went right."

"Just so. And now you are a dead girl."

"But you lied!"

"My words lied. My eyes and my arm shouted out the truth, but you were not seeing."

> "I was so," Arya said. "I watched you every second!"

> "Watching is not seeing, dead girl."

But while Arya needs to learn to be wary and see the truth of things to survive, Sansa has to ignore the truth and hide behind her "little bird" courtesies to survive Joffrey. From Sansa's chapter where Joffrey forces her to look at the heads of her father and the dead Winterfell servants:

> "What are you looking at?" Joffrey said. "This is what I wanted you to see, right here."

> A thick stone parapet protected the outer edge of the rampart, reaching as high as Sansa's chin, with crenellations cut into it every five feet for archers. The heads were mounted between the crenels, along the top of the wall, impaled on iron spikes so they faced out over the city. Sansa had noted them the moment she'd stepped out onto the wall walk, but the river and the bustling streets and the setting sun were ever so much prettier. He can make me look at the heads, she told herself, but he can't make me see them.

Working on a web application for high school/post secondary students, with my hard deadline being September, the start of the new school year. I have a bunch of features I want to have launched and battle tested by then, so lately I've been obsessed with finding ways to decrease my release cycle and increase my velocity.

For now I've been working with a tight beta testing group, getting feedback on existing bugs and current quality of the app. So now I have a backlog full of bugs to squash and features to develop before my projected launch date; in your own work, do you always work on features and gradually handle patches as time goes on, or does development of new features stop and minor versions halt when bugs arise? My question is assuming the bug isn't crashing or severely hindering functionality, and Agile and semver are at least roughly used.

I don't have experience working in a dev job, so everything I've learned so far is self-taught via the internet; so I'm curious about how experienced devs manage their workflow.

Same thing goes for the v to V change. v to V actually might sound even more epic.

I am in Music Theory I right now and the topic of parallel minors has come up. I was wondering if there were any relevant memorization techniques or any helpful charts to help learn all of the parallel minors.

Is there a website which you can enter a key e.g a# minor and it will tell me all the relative keys, parallel keys, next in circle of fifths etc etc. Like a harmony tool

say im in the key of c and i m doing a two chord loop for my verse but then i want the chorus to really hit and bring up the song, is this what those type of chords are for? to transition into differnet chords but in the same key? and make the song sound diffeent like harmony wise? i tried that with using 7thchords? im still very new sorry if im bad at explaining , just want to know if these are chords that help with transitioning to a chorus form a verse and stuff like that. thanks

“Were it me, I might pray my lord husband fell off his horse and broke his neck coming home.”

“And may your horse stumble, Harry the Heir, so you fall on your stupid head in your first tilt.”

I just thought it was a funny little parallel. I’m sure there are quite a lot of these between f&b and the main asoiaf books, but this is one I noticed. If anyone has any other ones or any thoughts on this one, that’d be cool.

I am finally reading (via audiobook) inversions

>!In chapter 2, there is a passage between two characters playing a game called “Monarch’s Dispute.” The game is a mirror to the medieval society in the book and how it is played is a reflection of a character’s approach to power and palace intrigue. Just as Azad is a game that reflects the clash between the values of The Culture and the (forget hame) empire.!<

It[s just a thought, but I enjoy deciphering these similarities in Banks’ writing.

During Volume 7, I made a post where I saw some similarities between Ironwood and Adam. Well, now I see similarities between him and Cinder of all people. Namely, I see them heading down similar paths. Before you guys write this off, let me explain.

Let's start with Cinder. In Volume 3, Cinder was at the height of her power. She had obtained the power of the Fall Maiden and caused the Fall of Beacon. She seemed truly unstoppable... but then came a certain Silver-Eyed ball of sunshine. Cinder lost her eye, lost her arm, and most of all, her pride. She went from an all-powerful demigod to being mocked and ridiculed by her allies. From that point on, the cold and calculating chessmaster was replaced by a violent, unstable lunatic determined to thrust herself back to the top by any means possible. She spent all of V4 recovering from her injuries and in V5, she altered the attack on Haven just so she could get revenge on Ruby, which resulted in utter failure. In V7, her attempt to steal the power of the Winter Maiden ended in another failure with the only consolation prize being Neo stealing the Relic of Knowledge.

Now Ironwood. In Volume 7, everything seemed to be going great. He had a plan to restore communications, he had the heroes and his personal team, the Ace-Ops, on his side. Everything was going smoothly... until Tyrian and Watts showed up and caused chaos, turning the people of Mantle against Atlas. It all boiled to a head in V7C11 where Ironwood loses an arm in his fight with Watts and Cinder and Salem prey on his paranoia, causing him to declare martial law and place the heroes under arrest, even shooting Oscar in cold blood when he attempts to reason with him.

Noticing a pattern here? Both characters started from a high position of strength and influence, both characters suffered traumatic injuries, and both characters are heading on a downward spiral. I predict that as Volume 8 progresses and the pressure mounts, both characters will become more and more extreme and will alienate their allies in the process. And we see it clearly in Chapter 1.

Cinder takes complete credit for stealing the Relic of Knowledge, utterly dismissing Neo as an "asset" rather than a partner and even coldly shutting down Emerald, possibly the only person in the group who genuinely cares for her. Even Salem seems to be losing patience with Cinder, coldly reminding her that she is still a pawn in the game, albeit a valuable one, much to Cinder's irritation.

Ironwood,

I found something interesting that could be a reference to the eight-eyed Belos sun. There is a powerful symbol known as The Helm of Awe or Helm of Terror in Norse mythology, which is spherical in shape and it's characterized by eight arms.

The Helm of Awe

Sigurd (norse hero) took it from slayed dragon - Fafnir. It could be a parallel to Belos getting rid of titan(?) or whatever he did to him. What's worth mentioning Fafnir claimed that bearing this symbol grants him invincibility (mental and physical) so this could explain why Belos is the strongest witch on BI if he took over the symbol.

In one of the poems - Poetic Edda, we can learn this symbol have a physical form fuelled by magical properties, and one of the linguists - Stephen Flowers describes it as: "This helm of awe was originally a kind of sphere of magical power to strike fear into the enemy. It was associated with the power of serpents to paralyze their prey before striking (hence, the connection with Fáfnir) … The helm of awe as described in the manuscript [the Galdrabók] is a power, centered in the pineal gland and emanating from it and the eyes."

As we know, all the witches who saw his light were terrified.

I understand that mode mixture allows you to substitute non-diatonic chord(s) from the parallel major or minor scale of the key to be used but is it possible to substitute non-diatonic chords not from the parallel key?? Also, if it has a name could you enlighten me on what it's called?
