The Fyre Festival The Fyre Festival was billed as one of the most celebrated festivals of the year, equalling the status of such events as Coachella (Burrough). The brains behind this fete were a twenty-five year old millennial Billy McFarland and American Rapper Ja Rule. However, as a result of poor planning and management, it turned out to be a fiasco with investors, service providers losing their hard earned money, and revelers getting stranded on some island in the Bahamas.This attracted backlash from the general public. After that, dozens of lawsuits were filed against the event organizers, even attracting investigation from the Federal government. This essay attempts to explain the reason that led to the failure of the Fyre Festival and what can be learned from it. We shall begin by giving a chronology of the events leading to the Festival. Billy McFarland and Ja Rule announce their idea to the world at the end of 2016. They promise to stage an exclusive concert on the remote Island in the Caribbean once owned by the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar.…
The AMC Metreon Last week on Friday, my friends and I visited the AMC Metreon 16, which is located at 135 4th St Suite 3000, San Francisco, CA 94103. At first, we were visiting because of the assignment. However, after a while of walking around, we decided to watch Sonic, the Hedgehog that was being shown as from 2 pm. Initially, I had not thought that places such as AMC Metreon could be marketable since the present society has provided technological provisions such as televisions and DVDs, through which a person can watch from anywhere. However, the AMC Metreon was packed to its capacity on this day. Weekends are the peek, according to one of the ushers we talked to. He explained that most people begin coming on Friday, and the numbers continue to rise as the days progress. The cinema world is seen from afar. The building is significant, and so are the poster reading AMC on the premise that ushers a person in. On its inside, the theatre is designed to display an aesthetic aspect that is not…
Compare and Contrast Analysis Act 3 of The Valkyrie, opens with the eight Valkyrie sisters driving home the dead heroes on their horses. As the voyage moves slowly down the slope, Bruennhilde appears out of the blues and requests for a horse for a Sieglinde. Since the Valkyries have heard the news about the disobedience done by Brunnhilde, they refuse to grant her the horse. Brunnhilde thinks that eastwards will be the safest place. As such, she gives her the slinters of Nothung, enlightening them that this is the most important hero in her womb and tells her that she has to give him a name as Siegfried. Later, Sieglinde runs away before Wotan arrives. She hides behind her sisters, for she knows the wrath and terror that Wotan carries. Wotan disowns Bruennhilde, explaining that she will lie defenseless in a very long sleep and that whoever will find her first will be her husband. She has no option but to comply and asks Wotan to surround her with high walls that people will not manage to cross easily, but…
The Relationship Between Art and Evolution Conventional wisdom has it that art is a medium of expression. Art is an expression of the human senses, and some scholars have pointed out that art could simply be an illustration of what happens in the human mind. In this way, art has been instrumental in facilitating different interpretations of a global society by various artists. Whether through observation or imagination, these artists have been able to offer their artistic account of society through their eyes. Over the years, global society has changed, and consequently, the art produced has also changed. The change that has been witnessed in society can be credited to evolution. The genetic variation of the human species has enabled the adaptation and development of the human mind and senses, which has led to the progression of the global society. Some scholars have suggested that art is an adaptation that served an evolutionary agenda that enhanced curiosity, creativity, and intelligence among people. Other scholars have argued that art has been a medium through which evolution has been depicted. Even…

Since the cradle of mankind, art has always been a critical part of human beings. Perceived as one of the most lucid, and candid way of expressing ourselves, art has transformed the society in ways words alone could not. Art has impacted society positively, as evidenced through a series of artworks that have transformed society over the years. As a way of augmenting our understanding of how art has transformed the society, this study will assess how the protest arts by the United Farm Workers in the 1960s positively influenced American society both politically and economically. The study affirmed that art could indeed transform the social culture in a positive way. Over 100 art posters exhibiting the protests by the United Farm Workers have been displayed at the Southern library of research and social studies in California. The art posters, which have the titles “Viva La…
People Engagement with Art and Museums I visited the Orange County Museum of Art, which deals with contemporary and modern art. It is located at the major arts complex on the Segerstrom Center for Arts, making it easy for scholars and the public to visit and learn from the facility.

The upper-level section consists of the administrative section, a roof terrace, a sculpture garden, and an outdoor screening platform during events.

Hisako Koyama Sunspots are hypothetically the most conspicuous features on the photosphere above the solar atmosphere. They have been argued to be the most significant players in solar and terrestrial interference. Notably, sunspots are dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun and which are cooler than other parts. These regions are results of magnetic bipolar magnetic loops that find their way onto the surface of the sun (Knipp et al., 1216). The occurrence of sunspots is variable and may happen for days or even months, presenting threats of flares and coronal mass ejections. The existence of sunspots, and their study thereof, can be traced to thousands of years ago. Writings of Chinese astronomers, dating back to 28 century BC acknowledge visual observation of the sun having ‘dark vapour’ at its centre. However, despite the length of time over which they have been studied, sunspots have proven to be a particularly elusive thermal phenomenon, with knowledge about them evolving each day. This notwithstanding, the evolution of human consciousness on sunspots, cannot be isolated from the contributions of various…
Humor in Music The joke by Haydn refers to the ending on the E-flat major quartet Op. 33 No. 2 in its last movement. In the whole action, Haydn depicts the traits of being a trickster. The opening movement sees Haydn setting a relatively balanced and jovial theme (Palmer, 23, 2017). The joke is the last movement is a rondo, a form where principle ideas alternate with different tunes that are often in another song. The joyful and fleet idea in this movement is evident. The idea gets filled with hesitant pauses that either depict the performers’ or Haydn’s uncertainty when they are about to reach the end. The pause at the last parts grows anxiously and is finished off with a whisper and is often related to a parody of “storm and stress” drama in Haydn’s Op. 22 quartets. The joke in Haydn’s eyes came across as a new way of theme elaboration while immediately exploding them into smaller fragments that are easily manipulated and recombined in numerous ways. The beauty in the solemn Largo sostenuto slow movement share…
