Sounds Like
Picture Mae West & Dorothy Parker forming a duo with an Everything But The Girl sound, add a dash of Motown, some shades of Jimi Hendrix, a pinch of PJ Harvey, sultry jazz in the manner of Cassandra Wilson & a smatter of Dido. Some liken her to Aimee Mann, Sam Phillips, often to Joni Mitchell, KD Lang, Joan Armatrading, Nellie McKay, Peggy Lee, Laura Nyro and Carol King.
Alexandra of Denmark (Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia; 1 December 1844 – 20 November 1925) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Empress of India from 1901 to 1910 as the consort of Edward VII. Her family had been relatively obscure until her father was chosen with the consent of the great powers to succeed his distant cousin to the Danish throne. At the age of sixteen she was chosen as the future wife of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the heir of Queen Victoria.
Domenico Fetti (also spelled Feti, c. 1589 – 1623) was an ItalianBaroque painter active mainly in Rome, Mantua and Venice.
His style appears to be influenced by Rubens. He would likely have continued to find excellent patronage in Venice had he not died there in 1623 or 1624. Jan Lys, eight years younger, but who had arrived in Venice nearly contemporaneously, died during the plague of 1629-30. Subsequently, Fetti's style would influence the Venetians Pietro della Vecchia and Sebastiano Mazzone.
Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. Ford did not believe in accountants; he amassed one of the world's largest fortunes without ever having his company audited under his administration. Henry Ford's intense commitment to lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put a dealership in every city in North America, and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.
coincidences are messages from the nonlocal domain, invitations to break our karmic bonds. coicidences invite us to relinquish the known and embrace the unknown. a coincidence is a creative, quantum leap in the behavior of the universe itself. since the known is itself a habit of past conditioning, creativity and freedom exist in the unknown --- anything that breaks through the probability amplitude set by karma. that is why it is important to look for coicidences, to keep record of them. when you notice coincidences, you can discover their hidden meanings in your life.
