Rorschach (character)

**Rorschach** is a fictional DC Comics antihero in 1986 graphic novel _Watchmen_ and in the 2009 film at the same name. Rorschach was created by British book writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons.

Rorschach was named after Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach.

## Fictional character biography

While _Watchmen_ has an ensemble cast, many consider Rorschach to be the primary protagonist as he drives most of the plot forward and serves as the series' narrator. In the beginning of the story, he is introduced as the only masked vigilante to remain active on his own terms and initiative, a criminal outlaw as opposed to other former superheroes now covertly employed by the U.S. government. A ruthless crime-fighter, Rorschach believes in moral absolutism—good and evil as pure ends, with no shades of gray—which compels him to seek to punish any evidence of evil at all costs. His mask displays a constantly morphing inkblot based on the ambiguous designs used in Rorschach inkblot tests, also his namesake, with the mask's black and white coloring consistent with his sense and view of morality.

## In other media

The original character was positively received, with multiple references in other comic titles and appearances in other media. He reappears in the _Before Watchmen_ comic book prequel including his own miniseries. Rorschach made his live-action debut in the 2009 movie _Watchmen_, played by Jackie Earle Haley, who also voices him in the video game _Watchmen: The End Is Nigh_.

A successor to the Rorschach mantle, named Reggie Long, debuted in the sequel limited series _Doomsday Clock_, which connects the _Watchmen_ universe with the mainstream DC Universe. Another incarnation of Rorschach, Wil Myerson, appears in the DC Black Label limited series _Rorschach_, a standalone sequel to _Watchmen_.
Kleksography

**Kleksography** is the art of making images of various figures from inkblots. Justinus Kerner was the first who included kleksography in the book of poetry.

Victor Hugo and George Sand used inkblots in their manuscripts.

Since 1890, kleksography was used as the tool for work of unconsciousness. The most popular example is Rorschach test.

Texas Two-Step

The **Texas Two-Step** is a dance that originated in 1845 when Texas was first founded. Within 2 months, the founders of Texas (Davie Rocket, John Menger III, Chris Alamo, and Antonio Sanders) adopted the dance as a staple of Texas heritage. Historians still argue about if the dance originated after the successful Battle of the Bulge or the war of 1899 with Houston.

The dance is performed by putting your lead foot behind your support foot while simultaneously twisting your pelvis in a counter-clockwise motion, being sure to point your toes toward your partner. Keep in mind, the entirety of the dance is completed by two Texas sized steps (around 4.2x as large as a standard U.S. step). What follows these two steps is a series of freestyle movements that vary between performers. For example, Davie Rocket adopted the "Hemisfair" movement, where you proceed to grab your partner by the pinky and swing her around your head similar to the motion of a lasso.

## Importance

The Texas Two-Step and other forms of step related lone star dances have become a cultural staple of the state down under. Bordering states have attempted to plagiarize this dance in ways of their own, but to no avail. For example, Louisiana created the Boot Stompin' Bop, until it faded into obscurity in 1923 after the housing market crash. Arkansas native Dick Rutherford created the Whiskey Slammer Toe Spinner, but 2 minutes into the debut of the dance, Dick was shot in the Golden Monkey Saloon. The only dance to remain a southern tradition as much as the Texas Two-Step, is the Texas Two-Step.

## Notable Sightings

Many notable individuals have been seen in public performing the famous dance. Tom Alamodome, John "Hand-Standin'" Johnson, and Brett were all sighted at Shiner Park performing the moves of the golden days. They were all sighted by Eva Longoria, former Spurs trophy wife.

Alpine musk deer

The **Alpine musk deer** (_Moschus chrysogaster_) is a deer that lives in Central Asia. This species is called endangered on the IUCN Red List and it is given first-class protection by the government of China.

## Appearance

The fur of a musk deer is dark brown. They are 0.5 to 0.6 m high and .85 to 1 m long. They weigh 10 to 15 kg. They have long ears and short tails, and the male deer have very long canine teeth that look like tusks.

Male musk deer have musk pods that can weigh 30 to 45 g.

Musk deer can live 12 to 15 years.

## Behavior

Alpine musk deer all leave their feces in the same place. Scientists call this a latrine site. They do this to mark their territory, meaning to show other deer that a place belongs to them.

## Threats

Alpine musk deer are in danger of dying out because human beings trap them. Like other musk male deer, male Alpine musk deer have musk pods that people use musk pods to make perfumes and in traditional medicines. When people set traps for male musk deer, they trap and kill female musk deer and fawns too.  In the 21st century, one kilogram of musk pod can pay US$45,000.

The government of China keeps some Alpine musk deer in captivity.

Bento Rodrigues dam disaster

The **Bento Reodrigues dam disaster** happened on  5 November 2015, when a dam at a Germano iron ore mine broke. The disaster is also known as  **Mariana dam disaster,** or **Samarco dam disaster**. It happened in a mine near Mariana, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The flooding devastated the downstream villages of Bento Rodrigues and Paracatu de Baixo,  from Bento Rodrigues, killing 19 people. The damage caused by the tailings dam collapse is the largest ever recorded with pollutants spread along  of watercourses.

The failure of the dam released 43.7 million cubic metres of mine tailings into the Doce River. A  toxic brown mudflow polluted the river and beaches near the mouth when it reached the Atlantic Ocean 17 days later. The disaster created a humanitarian crisis as hundreds were displaced and cities along the Doce River suffered water shortages when their water supplies were polluted.

The total impact of the disaster, including the reason for failure and the environmental consequences, are officially under investigation and remain unclear. The owner of the Bento Rodrigues dam, Samarco, was subject to extensive litigation and government sanctions. In 2016, charges of manslaughter and environmental damage were filed against 21 executives, including Samarco's former CEO and representatives from Samarco's owners, Vale and BHP Billiton, on its board of directors. Controversy over the investigation grew after a 2013 report, indicating structural issues in the dam, was leaked.

Bikini contest

A **swimsuit competition**, which is more commonly called **bikini contest** nowadays, is a beauty pageant, where the contestants wear swimsuits. The contestant models are mostly judged by their physical attractiveness. Companies have sometimes organised such contests to make their products more popular, or to find new models for their swimwear.

Such competitions have also been criticized: Critics say that such competitions make girls and women think that  they are primarily valued for their physical appearance; this puts pressure on women to conform to conventional beauty standards.

Big business

**Big business** means large-scale and corporate-controlled business activities. The term _big business_ refers to activities that run from "huge transactions" to the more general "doing big things". United States companies which are classified as big businesses include although are not limited to Walmart, Microsoft, Apple Inc., General Electric, Verizon Communications, Google, General Motors, Amazon, Tesla and Toyota. Apple Inc. had just over $2.1 trillion as of June 2021. Microsoft had almost $1.8 trillion by that same time. Tesla had about $641 billion by June 2021. The biggest United Kingdom business networks are HSBC, Barclays, Unilever and BP (called British Petroleum before 1998).

## The history of big business

According to the _Oxford English Dictionary_, the words _big business_ were first mentioned in Frederic Clemson Howe's book _The City: the Hope of Democracy_' in 1905.

The automotive industry started off small in the late 19th century. They grew very fast after large-scale gasoline was developed during the early 20th century.

New technology from computers spread across the world in the years following World War II. Businesses built around computer technology include though are not limited to Microsoft, Apple Inc., Intel, IBM and Samsung.

## The criticism of big business

There are various efforts being made to investigate the effects of "bigness" toward workers, consumers and investors. The effects toward prices and competition are also being looked at.

Large corporations have been subjected to strong controversy and criticism for abusing their employees, exploiting workers, political corruption, white-collar crime and corporate scandals.

Contrary to popular belief, not all corporations in the United States associate with the Republican Party. Several companies, Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola and Major League Baseball went against Georgia's new and restrictive voting laws.  Amazon, Google and Starbucks signed a statement that was against legislation which would discriminate against people who have certain racial, ethnic or disability backgrounds and those with certain sexual preferences.

Many Americans believe that corporations have too much power.

Corporate concentration can lead to influence over government in areas such as tax policy, trade policy, environmental policy, foreign policy, and labor policy through lobbying. In 2005, the majority of Americans believed that big business has "too much power in Washington."

Conservatorship

In United States law, **conservatorship** is when a protector or guardian is appointed by a court judge to manage the financial affairs for another person. This is usually because that person is old or has physical or mental health problems. People in a conservatorship are called _conservatees_. Conservatees are usually adults. A person in guardianship is called a "ward". The term _ward_ is usually used in reference to minors (people under age 18). Conservatorship may also be used for corporations or organizations.

## Appointment of conservatorships

_Conservatorship_ refers to the legal responsibility over a person who has a certain mental disorder or a physical health problem. This includes people affected with psychosis, suicidal ideation, certain levels of autism or in some other way are not able to make medical, financial or legal decisions for themselves.

In relation to the government control of businesses and corporations, like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, conservatorship means more temporary control than does nationalization.

## Conservatorship controversy

A recent example of conservatorship controversy is that involving the American pop singer-songwriter Britney Spears. She was put into conservatorship by her father in 2008. The year before, Britney had a mental breakdown. Spears also shaved her head and hit paparazzi with an umbrella but that was because they were violently attacking her. In late 2008, the conservatorship was made permanent. This caused the Free Britney movements.

In California there are two forms of conservatorship. The Lanterman-Petris-Short conservatorship starts off being temporary. This one is renewed every year if necessary. A probate conservatorship does not have a temporary period. It does not automatically expire. Spears was in the latter (the probate form of conservatorship).

Spears had wanted the conservatorship to be stopped because, she said, her father uses it to abuse and use her, and also it is clearly a dishonest strategy to steal her money and ruin her life.
