Deathstars - Newcastle University Student Union - 11th November 2023

It was the best concert, first concert I've been to on my own and I flew on my own for the first time from Belfast to Newcastle to go to it. Got speaking to loads of lovely people at the concert and the VIP meet and greet before hand so I was there on my own but had people to talk to.

The Spes et Fides

(x)

This model shows the first Steam Whaler, the Spes et Fides (affectionately known as Spissa) was commissioned by the Norwegian inventor of the harpoon gun Svend Foyn (1809-1894), built in 1863 and commissioned in 1864. She had a round stern and her hull was green with a yellow band. Rigged as a schooner, the sail was only used in favourable winds, but never for whaling. The power of the steam engine could take the boat up to 7 knots of speed, and was also used to power the equipment to handle the carcasses.

Her first voyage took place in the spring and summer of 1864, and the catch amounted to three whales. However, the second voyage did not take place until 1866 and was unfortunately unsuccessful, as was the third voyage in 1867, when only one whale was caught. The first really successful voyage took place in 1868, when Svend Foyn, after replacing some of his equipment with better ones (including his harpoongun), caught 30 whales.  From then on she was a successful whaler.

On 23 November 1904, the ship was sold to B. C. Skancke of Mehavn, Norway, who kept the name but did not use the ship as a whaler. In January 1912, the ship was taken over by Andreas Widero from Aalesund, but was sold on to Th. Bergh, Narvik, on 27 November of the same year. After that, the ship lay in a damaged condition in a shipyard in Tromso. Her new owners sent the ship to the Oren Mekaniske Verksted for repair and rebuilding.

Spes et Fides Wreck (x)

On 4 January 1913, the ship began service under the new name Evanaes, carrying fresh herring. Her last voyage was on 18 December 1917 from the Storfjord with a cargo of fresh herring to Melbo in Norway. The ship took to the water in bad weather and adverse winds. About seven miles from Tisnes, near Tromso, the engine stopped and the ship sank while the crew of seven climbed into the lifeboat. Eventually they reached the coast.

I came to think about Silje (Richard's Norwegian ex).

I STILL feel bad for Silje ..just randomly came to think about her now (since we all know who Reesh's latest gf is) and how there were "fangirls" commenting on the instagram at a certain russian gal (about Silje) that;

"I am SO GLAD RichArd is bAck wiTh YOU and n0t thAt N0rweGian bitCh!".

Things like that make me sad (and furious). It shouldn't be a competition like that. The same "fans" even stated they were on the russian gal's "TeAm".

Bitch what are you talking about!? There is no "team"!?!? What the fuck!?!?

Silje could have read that! Did your parents drop you on the floor a billion times??

Just one reason why I dislike certain "fan gUrls/fanb0is/fAns". Also reminds me of when Andreas Bergh (singer of Deathstars.. they are kinda like Rammstein but PLEASE beware as that band STEALS from their fans. They stole my money! 😂) ... When Andreas Bergh posted a picture with himself and his SISTER and people on VK (a hellish russian version of Facebook I guess?) commented in russian (I copied and translated it) that:

"WhAt a fAt c0w. He c0uld hAve d0ne s0 muCh beTTeR!"..

To all "fan gUrlz (and b0iz and fAn 0theRs)" who do this; you're not cute when you do this. You are not affectionate about your idol when you do this. You are creepy. You are mean. You are weird. And I wish I could kick you in the face!

That's all! Thank you for comming to my random "how NOT to do Fan gurling/fanboi-ing/fandom-ing?? 101 -TED talk."

Hans Mielich (b.1516 - d.1573), 'Portrait of a Woman, aged 57', oil on panel, c.1539, German, currently in the collection of the Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain; on loan from the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain.

This portrait of an unknown sitter is signed and dated by the artist and was executed two years after his trip to Italy. Mielich used a plain interior in order to focus all the attention on the model. Seated in a frontally positioned chair, she slightly turns her head to our left. The simplicity of the setting is echoed in the plain clothes in which her elevated social status is reflected in various details such as her wide, ribbed lapels and the ruched sleeves with their discreet print. The white headdress that covers her head, forehead and chin terminates on the left with a long band that further focuses our attention on the face. The woman’s physical appearance is conveyed with a high degree of realism and Mielich focuses on her heavy eyes, wrinkles, cheeks and distinctive mouth as well as her state of mind, conveying a sense of dignity and benevolence. A portrait of an unidentified male sitter from the collection of J. H. van Heek on display in the Stiftung Huis Bergh in‘s-Heerenberg has been proposed as the pair to this one. The elderly sitter is depicted in a chair that has finials in the form of metal balls that reflect the light and metal studs similar to this one. The background is also similar but the man has most of the window behind him, an element only visible on the far left of the present panel. On the other hand, the panel in the Van Heek collection is much smaller than this one, particularly with regard to its height. Lübbeke referred to another pair of portraits by Mielich in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich depicting Andreas and Apollonia Ligsalz of 1540 in which the artist plays with the slight asymmetry in the backgrounds and the position of the models. - Mar Borobia (x)
