R.O.S.E. (Jessie J album)

R.O.S.E. is the fourth studio album by English singer-songwriter Jessie J. It was released by Republic Records in four parts, starting on 22 May 2018, and finishing on 25 May 2018, with a part being released on each day. The four parts released are R (Realisations), O (Obsessions), S (Sex) and E (Empowerment). Jessie co-wrote the album and worked with producers such as DJ Camper and Kuk Harrell.

Critical reception

Renowned for Sound gave R.O.S.E. 3.5 out of 5 stars, with Rachael Scarsbrook saying that "splitting an album into four chunks is a brave move for a popstar, in a genre when fans are a little more casual and expect everything to be delivered to them in one all consuming format. That said, R.O.S.E. feels like Jessie J almost fully rejecting her more mainstream appeal in order to put out a collection of tracks that mean a great deal to her on a more personal level. It might not be the kind of thing I normally go for, but as a project it's actually quite skilled and enjoyable."

Non-fungible token

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a way of proving that a digital item is the only one of its kind in existence and therefore cannot be copied or reproduced without the owner's knowledge and consent. They can be thought of as a digital certificate of authenticity. NFTs can be considered modern-day collectibles. They're bought and sold online, and represent a digital proof of ownership of any given item. NFTs are securely recorded on a blockchain.

Technology
NFTs use the same blockchain technology used by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to keep a ledger, a permanent record of all tokens and who owns them. Each entry is unique. At the beginning NFT used standards ERC-721, which was the first standard for non-fungible digital assets. ERC-1155 brought the idea of ​​semi-fungibility to the NFT world and also provides an extended feature set for ERC-721, which means that an ERC-721 asset can be built using ERC-1155.

Usage
They are used wherever virtual goods can be collected and traded as one-off objects. Examples are collectibles, digital art, music and individual virtual objects used in computer games.

They differ from fungible tokens used in cryptocurrencies, which are exactly the same as each other and, therefore, can be used as a way of doing trade just as if they were money.

Pop it (toy)

A pop it "is essentially a silicone-based tray of half-sphere 'bubbles' that can be pushed in, thrilling kids with the resulting popping sound." Once a "bubble" has been pushed down, it can be pushed back up, also resulting in the same sound. All the "bubbles"  make the same sound when pushed. The toys come in various shapes, including rectangles, circles, hands, and unicorns.  They also come in a variety of sizes and colors. In addition to the simple act of popping, games of various sorts are played using the toys. They were a fad in the spring of 2021. In May, BBC reported that there had been two and a half billion views on a video-viewing platform, TikTok. A similar toy is the Dimpl, or a Simple Dimple, or Simpl Dimpl. The difference is that Simple Dimples are usually smaller and can be of different sizes.

Pop its were preceded by a somewhat similar fidget toy, the Pop It Pal, invented in 2017 by Billy and Summer Pierce.

Sex in movies

Sex in movies is about human sexuality in movies. Any form of sexuality being present in movies has been controversial since the development of movies. Some movies having sexuality have been criticized by religious groups. Some have been banned or censored by the governments of certain countries. In countries with film rating systems, movies having explicit sex often get a restricted rating. For example, in the United States, many movies with explicit sex are given NC-17 ratings by the Motion Picture Association of America. Examples of such movies are Blue Is the Warmest Colour (2013), Showgirls (1995), Belle de Jour (1967), In the Realm of the Senses (1976), Last Tango in Paris (1972), Crash and When Night Is Falling (1995). 

Erotic movies are usually movies having an erotic quality that may create sexual themes or feelings.

Sexual scenes, themes or materials are found in a wide range of genres or sub-genres. Some genres that have sexual or erotic components include the term erotic in their descriptions. These include erotic dramas, erotic thrillers, sex comedies and romantic dramas.

99 Bottles of Beer

"99 Bottles of Beer" is a sea shanty written around the mid-1900s. No one knows who wrote it. It is a backwards counting song in both the United States and Canada.

Lyrics 

The words to the song are:

Alternative line:
If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 98 bottles of beer on the wall...
We repeat the line many times, with one less bottle each time. When there are no bottles left, a different line is used. Some lines that can be used for when there are no bottles are:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.

Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall...
Or:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.

We've taken them down and passed them around; now we're drunk and passed out!

Other alternate lines read:

If that one bottle should happen to fall, what a waste of alcohol!
Or:
No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.

There's nothing else to fall, because there's no more bottles of beer on the wall.

Sometimes, the song does not stop when there are 1 or no bottles of beer left. In this case, the song keeps going with -1, -2, -3, and so on bottles of beer.

Andy Kaufman routine 
American comedian Andy Kaufman had a comedy bit where he would sing all 100 verses. This was considered funny because the song is not usually completed due to its length.

Atticus 
Atticus, a band from Knoxville, Tennessee, recorded a version of the song in front of people. It took 13 and a half minutes. It was recorded at a Glasgow, Scotland bar called The Cathouse. It was included in the 2001 album Figment. Rich Stewart, also known as Barroom Rambler, called it the number one drinking song out of 86 in an article for Modern Drunkard Magazine.

Math versions 
Donald Byrd has dozens of versions of the song. These versions are inspired by math topics. The songs written by himself and others, and some of them have been published. Byrd says that the collection is fun and a good way to teach about infinity. Among his versions are:Infinite bottles of beer on the wall,

infinite bottles of beer;

If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 

infinite bottles of beer on the wall.Infinite bottles of beer on the wall, 

infinite bottles of beer; 

If finite bottles should happen to fall, 

infinite bottles of beer on the wall.These two verses can be repeated forever.

Lyrics 

One version of the song is:

Versions 
Different versions of the song uses flies, clinkers, or bugs instead of grubs. Some use "green and" instead of "little", or change the last frog's reference to "he", "she", or "it".

Hand motions 
There are hand motions people can follow during the song.

 Line #1: By show of fingers, hold up the number of frogs sitting on the log.
 Line #2: Draw in your hands close to your chest and curl your fingers downward, facing the floor as though you are a frog perched atop a log.
 Line #3: Pretend to eat while you sing 'Eating some most delicious bugs', then rub your belly while singing 'yum, yum!'.
 Line #4: Hold one finger up to show the frog who fell off the log.
 Line #5: Pretend to fall over.
 Line #6: By a show of fingers, hold up the number of frogs still on the log while singing "Now there are four green speckled frogs". Upon singing "(glub, glub)", do it again, except look up as though you were a frog underneath the water.

Meiteism

The Meiteism or the Meeteism is a term used to describe the original animistic religious belief system of the Meitei ethnicity in particular. It refers to the pre-Hindu faith of the Meitei ethnic group. It incorporates various teachings from the Meitei scriptures. Meiteism is a large facet of the collective synthesis of believes known as Sanamahism. 
Though Meiteism is treated as another name of Sanamahism, the later term has wider coverage of the traditional beliefs and practices of the hill tribesman communities also. The term was used during the Meitei revivalism movement to promote the ethnic religion of the Meitei people explicitly.
In every Meitei household, there is a sacred abode of God Sanamahi, called the Sanamahi Kachin.
