JOHN GREENWOOD SR. (1727–1792) was an early American portrait painter, engraver and auctioneer.

Life

[Portrait of John Greenwood by Lemuel Francis Abbott circa 1785] Greenwood was born on 7 December 1727 in Boston, Massachusetts, and baptized on 10 December in the Old North Church, Boston.

His father died insolvent in 1742 and at about this time Greenwood apprenticed to Thomas Johnston, a Boston line engraver, sign painter, and japanner. According to his son's later account, Greenwood soon left Johnston's studio in order to pursue portraiture.[1] He left Boston in 1752 and traveled to the Dutch colony of Surinam in northeast South America. He stayed there for over five years, during which time he executed 115 portraits, before traveling again, this time to Europe, arriving in Amsterdam in May 1758. He settled there for a time to learn the art of making mezzotints, and was documented as a member of the Amsterdam Drawing Academy in 1758 by Jacob Otten Husly.[2] After leaving Amsterdam, Greenwood stayed in Paris, then London, where he eventually settled in 1764.

At the request of the Earl of Bute Greenwood made a journey, in July 1771, into Holland and France purchasing paintings; he afterwards visited the continent, buying up the collections of Count van Schulembourg and the Baron Steinberg. In 1776 he was occupying Ford's Rooms in the Haymarket as an art auctioneer.

One of Greenwood's best known works is _Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam_ (1755), a drunken scene featuring various prominent Rhode Island merchants, including Declaration of Independence signatory Stephen Hopkins, Governor Joseph Wanton, Admiral Esek Hopkins, and Governor Nicholas Cooke.

Greenwood died while on a visit to Margate, Kent on 16 September 1792, and is buried there. His wife, who survived him a few years, was buried at Chiswick, close to the tomb of Hogarth.

Family

Greenwood was the son of Samuel Greenwood (1690–1742), a Harvard graduate (1709) and merchant, and his second wife, Mary Charnock Devereux (c. 1709-1794).[3] In 1770, Greenwood wrote to his childhood friend, the painter John Singleton Copley, to commission a portrait of his mother Mary Charnock Devereux: ‘_I am very desirous of seeing the good lady’s face as she now appears, with old age creeping upon her._’ this portrait is now part of the international painting collection at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.[4] His eldest son, Charnock-Gladwin, died an officer in the army at Grenada, West Indies; the second, John, succeeded him in business; James returned to Boston; and the youngest, Captain Samuel Adam Greenwood, senior-assistant at the residency of Baroda, died at Cambray in 1810. His son John Greenwood, Jr. (1772–1815) is the subject of a portrait by William Beechey.[5]

A small half-length portrait of Greenwood in mezzotint, by William Pether, bearing an artist's pallet and brushes and an auctioneer's mallet, was afterwards published. A three-quarter length, by Lemuel Francis Abbott, and a miniature by Henry Edridge, which were in possession of his grandson, John Danforth Greenwood, ex-principal of Nelson College, New Zealand.

text: Provide a response

refinement: He executed at least 115 portraits, and one of his best known works is Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam, a drunken scene featuring various prominent Rhode Island merchants.

answer: John Greenwood's works include portraits of prominent figures, scenes of drunkenness, and paintings of family members.

answer: Although the main focus of John Greenwood's works is portraits, his works show the personal habits of individuals rather than just be a mere portrait of their appearance. In the style of 18th-century British portraitists, his work bares its subject's expressions of drunken behavior. What sets Greenwood apart is how detailed he makes his subjects expressions versus how they look physically. A detractor might say that his portraits are too ornamental to be considered proper portraits; however, a believer of his style may see the intricate details of his people's faces as the culmination of a genuine artist who genuinely enjoys painting the quirks and details of his human subjects.

Well this is a story I wrote a few weeks ago, I was feeling sad so I tried to write something sad, tell me how I did :)

     Everyone needs a safe place. A quiet place to sit and ponder the many unanswered questions of life, a place to cry when you want to be alone, a place to practice talents you are too embarrassed to show to the world. You are feeling sad one day, you want to cry, but you are too self-conscious to cry in public, think of all the stares you would get! Yours is different, unlike any other, or so you tell yourself so you can feel special even though you’re normal, just like everyone else. It’s a small platform jutting off the side of the Golden Gate Bridge. You’ve never seen anyone else go there so you have officially claimed it as your own. Stop thinking about the journey just remember the destination, you tell yourself, because the big day has finally come! Your chest is hurting, but no matter just the thought of her makes the pain subside. The walk to the bridge is longer than you remember and your legs are getting tired, but you must preserver. You look across the street at a building, a building with a story to tell.

     Rusty, cracked, forgotten, this building slouches, knowing that the old couple that once kept it new and running are long gone now, never to return, because though it had been a dream of that poor old couple to eventually start up and run a business together, it never worked out. The wife Mariam was always trying to raise her husband's spirits by making jokes and showing him that they could still have fun together even if they weren't rich. And this always managed to get a little smile out of Earl, but these smiles were short lived. Because soon after starting the shop, Mariam contracted a bad cold that kept her at home, leaving Earl to work the shop alone. Every day Earl would open up, wait all day long without seeing any customers, and then go home to his sick wife with the cold that never seemed to leave, until one day something changed.

     During a warm summer evening at the shop, Earl was reading the paper when he heard the bell ring, signaling that someone had entered. Earl sat up in his chair, adjusted his posture, and waited to ask if he could be of any assistance, just as he had imagined he would for so many years, he just wished Mariam could be here to see him do it. 5 Minutes later, a little girl looking to be around 5 or 6 walked up to the counter with a chocolate bar and a crisp one dollar bill that she looked proud to be carrying. After giving her change back, Earl was so happy that he could have cried, and he immediately closed up shop to go tell his wife about the events that had occurred. He shuffled up the stairs to her room to find Mariam frozen as if in a trance like state. Her eyes wide, mouth gaping, as if screaming at an invisible assailant. Earl collapsed, clutching his chest, desperately trying to squeeze the shock and pain out of his frail heart. He called 9-1-1 and they told him the news he had been trying so hard to deny as they took his wife away.

     Earl lay in bed that night, tossing and turning, slowly making himself crazy with the thought that she was still alive, that it had all been a hoax and his dear Mariam was still out there, until he couldn't take it anymore. He jumped out of bed and ran as fast as his wrinkled old legs could carry him to his car, and he drove to the Hospital. He waited until the front desk lady has left for a moment to check her computer for information on his wife's location, and he was on his way. He snuck the body out of a window in the room, and drove off with it. He parked in a secluded grassy patch close to a river, and continued to yell at his wife, begging her to please wake up, wake up wake up WAKE UP!!!! But it was no use he had to face the facts. He took his wife to the river and rolled her into the water, her favorite place in the world.

     The next day Earl got a call from the hospital, his wife had been in a temporary coma, and she was going to be okay, but they believed she had been moved to a different hospital and they would notify him when hey figured out where she was. Earl hung up the phone. He calmly got dressed and went outside to go on a walk. Images start rapidly firing in front of your eyes; children, unfinished paintings, an unexplored forest. It's already too late, your realization has caused you nothing but more pain during the brief time you spend reminiscing on things unfinished, on your way down to the water, to your wife, and countless others that have taken the same walk. “LORD FORGIVE ME! SAVE ME!” But the words are silently whipped out of your mouth by the constant barrage of wind in your face. This is not how it’s supposed to end, this is all wrong. You’re normal, just like everyone else, and everyone always regrets the walk to the bridge.

title: [RF] The Walk to the Bridge

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize the theme of this story.

answer: The theme of this story is that no matter how safe we think our place is or how normal we believe ourselves to be, we all share unresolved pain. Though taking the walk to the bridge seems like an easy way out, it only leads to more pain. Life is never quite what we expect it to be, but we must all face these challenges head on.

text: This answer misses the point

refinement: The theme is "look before you leap". This is a literal as well as metaphorical interpretation. Once you jump off a bridge or, in this case, throw someone off a bridge-it is too late to undo. In the story, Earl, an old man, thinks his wife has died, so he steals her from the hospital and returns her to the water that she loves. Then he gets a call from the hospital stating she had just been in a temporary coma. Earl had killed his wife.

Then the next day he discovers-thanks to a call from the hospital-that she was not in fact dead.

answer: The narrator has written themselves in a corner. They endlessly walk to the Golden Gate Bridge to jump off, but can't do it. Regardless of this, they told themselves that this is the right end to the story.

text: There is no evidence that they are unable to do the final deed

refinement: The narrator has written themselves in a corner. Regardless of this, they told themselves that this is the right end to the story.

text: Incomplete answer

refinement: Earl thinks his wife has died suddenly after she is unresponsive. She is in the hospital. During the evening, Earl is restless, so he furtively recovers her body from the hospital and takes her to the water, rolling her body into it. Then the next day he discovers-thanks to a call from the hospital-that she was not in fact dead.

answer: The author believes that the walk to the bridge should be a hopeful journey, but it ends up feeling more like a march to an inevitable and unfortunate end. The author believes that everyone always regrets the walk to the bridge because it symbolizes that the realization of one's failing has come too late and there is no going back. The conclusion that it's "all wrong" is a realization that the walk to the bridge is a journey to despair and sadness, not happiness or success.

answer: The author seems to mean that we cannot control the circumstances preceding or surrounding our own demise, even if it is a planned suicide. This is because when we reach our final moments there are so many factors that could alter the exact outcome. Also, sometimes we decide we would like to turn back, but it is too late after we have jumped, or pulled the trigger, or taken the pills.

[Assembled partygoers at Tranby Croft, 11 September 1890. The Royal Baccarat Scandal. Pictured are Capt. Berkeley Levett and Edward, Prince of Wales and others] BERKELEY JOHN TALBOT LEVETT, (11 November 1863 – 1 November 1941) was a Major in the Scots Guards and later a Gentleman Usher for the Royal family. He was a witness in the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1890 in which the future King Edward VII was drawn into a gambling dispute which painted him in an unflattering light.

Life and career

The son of Colonel Theophilus John Levett of Wychnor Park, Member of Parliament for Lichfield,[1] and member of an ancient family, Levett enjoyed playing cards and saw himself as a dashing figure in society circles. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the Scots Guards on 16 December 1885,[2] an appointment to one of the most prestigious regiments, which further allowed him to advance his contacts in the establishment.

On 8 September 1890, the Scots Guards officer was in the company of royalty and fellow socialites at Tranby Croft in Yorkshire when the incident which set off the Royal Baccarat Scandal occurred.[3] At the time, Levett was a soldier and bon vivant said to be the best-dressed man in London. One society publication referred to him as the “noted soldier and dandy.”[4] The subsequent events led to a slander trial at which Levett was one of the defendants. Although the defendants won the case, public mood was against them. [Sibell Bass Levett, daughter of brewery heir Hamar Alfred Bass, wife of Major Berkeley Levett, 1905] During the parties feting the German Emperor Wilheim II during his July 1891 London visit, _The New York Times_ noted, “the Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon, in referring to the garden party (for the Emperor), gives great prominence to the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. E. Lycett Greene, and Lieut. Berkeley Levett, all of whom were prominent in the Tranby Croft baccarat scandal, were among the guests at the garden party.”[5]

Berkeley Levett served as Aide-de-camp in India to William Mansfield, 1st Viscount Sandhurst who was Governor of Bombay from 1895 to 1900, during which he was promoted to captain on 15 November 1897.[6] Back in England, Levett married on 2 June 1900 Sibell Lucia Bass of the Bass brewery family, daughter of Hamar Alfred Bass, Member of Parliament.[7] In September 1902 he retired from the army.[8] Having sold his share of the family's Staffordshire estates, he and his wife lived in Lancaster Gate, London; Cottington, Sidmouth, Devon; and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France, often turning up at society events before World War I.[9][10]

Berkeley Levett kept up his royal connections while serving as one of the Gentlemen Ushers for the Royal Household from 1 April 1919 to 1 December 1931. Later Levett was promoted to the rank of Major. He and his wife had two sons, one of whom was killed in World War I.

Baccarat scandal

Levett was drawn into the scandal after a night in which Sir William Gordon-Cumming, 4th Baronet, a fellow officer from the Scots Guards, was accused of cheating at Baccarat, a card game. Levett testified later that he had witnessed the cheating. Although Gordon-Cumming maintained that he had not cheated and the others had been mistaken, he had when confronted signed a statement pledging never to play cards again in return for an agreement that no-one present would speak again of what had happened. The assembled players feared the worst if the scandal leaked. For four months afterwards, Sir William split his time between his Scottish estates, his Scots Guards regiment, his wealthy American fiancée and his Paris club, hoping that the others would hold to their pledge.

The secret pact did not hold. An anonymous letter from Paris informed Sir William that gossips on the Continent were chattering about the events of that evening – and about Gordon-Cumming's alleged cheating. Enraged, Sir William brought suit against those present, including Berkeley Levett, charging slander. When the suit came to court in June 1891, it was a stylish affair: only those observers sporting a note from the Lord Chief Justice were admitted. The cream of society turned out dressed as though for Royal Ascot.[11]

Levett testified under oath, and although the jury ultimately ruled for him and the rest of the defendants, the damage was done. Sir William was drummed out of his regiment and forced to resign from his clubs. The future King, who was required to testify and thus reveal his penchant for card-playing, was outraged. “Thank God”, said the future King, “the army and society are now well rid of such a damned blackguard.”[12]

The royal reputation had been called into question.[13] Newspapers and public opinion sided squarely with Sir William. Word in the street largely blamed the future King.[14] In circles like Berkeley Levett's, consensus was the King was to blame, but for a different reason: the contentious card game had transpired at the estate of a newly rich shipping millionaire.

The jury took 10 minutes to find all the defendants not guilty and award them their legal costs. It was not a popular decision. The crowd hissed and booed the jurors, and tried to attack the defendants as they left the courtroom.

title: Berkeley Levett

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about Berkeley John Talbot Levett?

answer: Berkeley John Talbot Levett was a military officer who frequented society circles. He served as a witness in the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1890 in which the future King Edward VII was drawn into a gambling dispute. The scandal ended in a libel lawsuit in which Levett was one of the defendants. Although the defendants were declared not guilty, the damage had been done. Levett suffered negative public opinion because of the scandal.

text: The answer does not mention most of what the text says about Berkeley. It just focuses on the Baccarat Scandal. For example, it fails to mention that he served in India as Aide-de-camp to William Mansfield, 1st Viscount Sandhurst, Governor of Bombay from 1895 to 1900, during which he was promoted to captain 15 November 1897. The model should consider including details pertaining to Berkeley's life and career as mentioned in the text.

refinement: Berkeley John Talbot Levett was a military officer commissioned in the Scots Guard on December 16th, 1885, and frequented society circles. Because he was always in the company of royalty and socialites, he was present with his fellow socialites at the Tranby Croft and Yorkshire, where the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1890 occurred. Berkeley, a bon vivant and soldier, was said to be the best-dressed man in London. He also served as aide-de-camp to William Mansfield, the 1st viscount Sandhurst in India and Governor of Bombay from 1895 to 1900, during which Berkeley was promoted to captain in November 1897. He married Sibell Lucia, the daughter of Hamar Alfred Bass, in June 1900. Together, they had two sons, one of whom died during World War I. He retired from the army in 1902 and kept up his royal connections while serving as one of the gentlemen ushers for the royal household from April 1919 till December 1931. He was later promoted to the rank of major.

answer: Berkeley John Talbot Levett was the one of the defendants in the Baccarat Scandal when the future King Edward VII was drawn into a gambling dispute. He was also a major in the Scots Guards. In his later career, Levett served as a Gentleman Usher for the Royal family. In the Baccarat Scandal, Levett claims to have witnessed Sir William Gordon-Cumming, commit cheating at Baccarat.

text: The answer should replace the first and last line, which talks about the Baccarat Scandal, with something else about Berkeley's life or career.

refinement: Berkeley John Talbot Levett was a military officer commissioned in the Scots Guard on December 16th, 1885. He served as aide-de-camp to William Mansfield, the 1st viscount Sandhurst in India and Governor of Bombay from 1895 to 1900, during which Berkeley was promoted to captain in November 1897. In his later career, Levett served as a Gentleman Usher for the Royal family. He then retired from the army in 1902 and was later promoted to the rank of major.

answer: Levett was a Major in the Scots Guards and a Gentleman Usher for the Royal family. He was commissioned a lieutenant in the Scots Guards on December 16, 1885. In September 1902, he retired from the army, selling his family's Staffordshire estates. He married Sibell Bass, a brewery heir before his army retirement, and maintained his contact with the royals as one of the Royal household's Gentlemen Ushers from 1919 to 1931. He and his wife had two sons, one of whom was killed in World War I.

answer: Berkeley John Talbot Levett was a Major in the Scots Guards. He was a witness in the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1890. He was the son of Colonel Theophilus John Levett and was a commissioned lieutenant on December 16, 1885.

answer: Levett was a soldier and bon vivant, who became embroiled in the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1890 when he witnessed Sir William Gordon-Cumming cheating at a card game. Levett was one of the defendants in the resulting slander trial; however, the defendants won the case and Levett retired from the army after the incident. Levett later served as one of the Gentlemen Ushers for the Royal Household.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the Baccarat scandal?

answer: The Scots Guards were in the company of royalty and socialites when the incident occurred. Levett testified at the trial as one of the defendants who won the case. The jury ultimately ruled for him and the rest of the defendants. When Sir William Gordon-Cumming was accused of cheating at Baccarat, he signed and agreement pledging to never play card again. The participants feared the worst if the news leaked out that the royal family was involved in gambling. However, Sir William broke his agreement and signed a document claiming that Levett and his friends were slanderers. At the court case, a note from the Lord Chief Justice was required to be admitted. The cream of society turned out. Levett's reputation was tarnished.

text: The entire answer is not chronological and well presented. The ideas are scattered all over the place that it is hard to understand the model's response to the question. Therefore, the model should consider rewriting its answer in a more well-structured manner and arranging its points logically for clarity.

refinement: Sir William Gordon-Cumming, a fellow officer from the Scots Guards, was accused of cheating at Baccarat, a card game. He protested the accusation, claiming that others were mistaken because he didn't cheat. However, he was forced to sign a contract that would prevent him from ever playing card again in exchange for the silence of those present. However, the agreement did not hold for long because word went round about his cheating. Sir William sued those present, including Levett. Levett testified as a witness at court, which had high society members in attendance and others strictly invited by the Lord Chief Justice. The jury ruled for him and the rest of the defendants in ten minutes, which did not go well with the public. In the end, Sir William's reputation was tarnished, as he had to resign from his clubs and was drummed out of his regiment.

answer: The Royal Baccarat Scandal took place in 1890 when Captain Berkeley Levett was a witness to cheating by Sir William Gordon-Cumming at a card game. The scandal rendered Sir William's reputation as suspect and diminished the reputation of the future King Edward VII. Despite being exonerated in court, the scandal caused controversy and public outcry.

answer: Levett was drawn into the scandal after a night in which Sir William Gordon-Cumming was caught cheating in Baccarat. Levett testified later that he had witnessed the cheating. Sir William ends up pledging to never play cards again in return that this is to be kept secret. The pact did not hold.

text: The answer fails to mention that Sir William was eventually found not guilty and how the jury's verdict was not well received by the public. It also fails to mention the agreement he signed to keep the members present at the card game from talking about it to protect his royal image. The model should consider including the relevant details.

refinement: Levett was drawn into the scandal after a night in which Sir William Gordon-Cumming was caught cheating in Baccarat. Even though he claimed innocence, he was forced to sign a contract that would prevent him from ever playing card again in exchange for the silence of those present. However, the pact did not hold for long because word went round about his cheating. Sir William sued those present, including Levett. Levett testified later that he had witnessed the cheating. The jury ruled for him and the rest of the defendants in ten minutes, which did not go well with the public. In the end, Sir William had to resign from his clubs and was drummed out of his regiment.

answer: The Baccarat scandal was a scandal in which the future King Edward VII was called into question during a gambling dispute at the card game baccarat. The Baccarat scandal was the talk of London's society circles. The jury took 10 minutes to find all defendants not guilty but public opinion sided decidedly with that of Sir William Gordon-Cumming. In the end, Sir William was forced to resign from his club and drummed out of his regiment.

answer: In September 1890, the Scots Guards officer Berkeley Levett was in the company of royalty and fellow socialites at Tranby Croft near Yorkshire when the incident which set off the Royal Baccarat Scandal occurred. The scandal involved Sir William Gordon-Cumming cheating at a card game, something Levett witnessed. The jury eventually exonerated all defendants in the ensuing slander trial, but in the process the reputation of the future King Edward VII was tarnished. In the opinion of many, the King was to blame for the scandal due to his penchant for card-playing.

The CONSTANCE PERKINS HOUSE is a house designed by Richard Neutra and built in Pasadena, California, United States, from 1952 to 1955.[1]

Design and construction

In 1947, Constance Perkins started working as a professor of Art History at Occidental College and here she met Richard Neutra, eventually asking him to design her home.

When Neutra was designing the house for her “he had to reexamine the single-family home and rework conventional patterns of the type.”[2] The house itself sits on a little hill in Pasadena, California. “The tiny house was constructed of inexpensive materials- wood, plaster, and glass; a spiderleg beam extended the space by projecting out into a small reflecting pool that meanders through one of the glass walls of the house...He also measured the physical dimensions of his clients. Constance Perkins was a small woman, so he scaled the house to her.”[3]

Neutra and Perkins worked closely together on the development of the building. In August 1953, Perkins sent Neutra a list of “Likes and Dislikes” with her autobiography so that Neutra could get a feel for what exactly she wanted for her new home.[4]

In October 1953 Neutra had completed the preliminary drawings for her house and after approval and construction, Perkins was finally allowed to move into her new home in December 1955.[5] The Perkins house is one of Neutra's smaller designs. It was formatted specially for Perkins and her budget. The house consists of “a free-from pool extending into the living room.”[6] Apparently Neutra and Perkins had some disagreement over what the pool should look like. She didn't want it to be of a surrealist nature but wanted, “something relaxing and more intimate.”[7] The final cost of the house came to about $17,166, which was over her original budget, nonetheless she was happy with the results.[8]

Both Perkins and Neutra were influenced by John Entenza's _Arts and Architecture_ Magazine. The magazine feature a lot of Neutra's work and other famous architects. “The avowed purpose [of the magazine] was to present good, contemporary design to the magazine’s largely lay audience and nudge its professional and architectural student subscribers into a truer path. The results were remarkable and A&A’s readers, who held architecture and art close to their hearts, would curl up with a cup of coffee for an hour or so to read the latest issue of the magazine.”[9] Perkins saw a great deal of Neutra's designs from this magazine and no doubt inspired her even further to have him design her own home.

Perkins' home is influential in modern architecture because of its design and the type of family that would occupy such a space. Perkins herself was a single working woman who had chosen a career over a family. She has requested no main bedroom, but would prefer sleeping in her workspace. She wanted a space “as a domestic environment in which individual creativity and work, rather than family and leisure activities were the central concept.”[10]

Constance Perkins

Constance Perkins was born in Denver in 1913. Her father was a doctor and her mother was an invalid. She studied art and got her BA at the University of Denver. In 1937 she attained her master's degree in Art History at Mills College in Oakland.[11]

Perkins died in March 1991 and left the house to the Huntington Library and Art Gallery in which she volunteered the last years of her life. The house is now privately owned.[12]

Quotes

Constance Perkins's critique on Richard Neutra's book _Survival Through Design_:

-   “The greatest enjoyment derived from re-readings of _Survival Through Design_ may be gained from the unique and penetrating manner in which the author has related the numerous philosophies of eighteenth-century rationalism through twentieth-century concepts of a space-time experience, to problems of contemporary design.”Constance M. Perkins

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What is important to note about Perkins' home?

answer: It is one of Neutra's smaller designs. It was formatted specially for Perkins and her budget. It consists of a free-from pool extending into the living room.

answer: She chose an unconventional domestic space that is not that of a home rather it is a living space tailored to be affordable as well as practical--she said she wanted to sleep in her workspace and asked for no main bedroom. Earlier theories of domesticity are discussed in the passage-books by Riegl and Kogle. Kogle for instance stated that the archetypal home belongs to the family unit and to the nation, and thus contains the social values of the culture within it. Work often produces pollution, if not in its manufacture, then through its effects on the outside, and thus needs to be hidden from the home. Perkins' home reset the nature of domestic architecture, indicating a new direction for future homes. Both Neutra and Perkins were influenced by Schonenberg's _Arts and Architecture_ Magazine.

[Parking crime]

Source: Splash News / Splash News

Drivers out there understand that when it comes to the rules of the road, there are some things that are written and some things that are unwritten.

Usually, the unwritten rules are around courtesy, honesty and just being a decent human being.

But unfortunately, there are some evil-doers out there who will quickly toss _all_ rules out the window before they give up a good parking spot.

This was clear in a video and Twitter thread that went viral when two cars were trying to parallel park in Koreatown, L.A. According to ABC 7, a black sedan faced off against a silver car for a curb spot in the busy area.

The standoff continued for OVER AN HOUR.

Twitter user Mariah Flores peeped the whole scene from her apartment window, and she provided photos and videos to her Instagram Story and Twitter followers. Her coverage of the “event” went viral and soon, many folks were taking sides in the “Car War.” Check out the situation below…

The person driving the black sedan had apparently driven past the available parking space only by a few feet, which supposedly meant that they were about to back into the space.

But the silver car was like nah.

They pulled right up behind the black car, supposedly with the goal to PULL INTO the parking space.

Flores started recording the standoff around 6:30 p.m. and as time was nearing seven o’clock, the two vehicles were still facing off.

They were even causing disruption in traffic, but they could care less.

P   E   T   T   Y.

While the drama persisted, Flores continued to survey her followers, asking if they were “Team Black Car” or “Team Silver Car.” Things got pretty heated…

  #TeamSilverCar the black car missed their chance and now wants to act brand new like reversing is just accepted and has right of way…. bih plz

  Do you drive? The black car was parallel parking the correct way. You drive past the spot and back in.

  — Tori Nov (@tori_nov) April 3, 2019

  With a signal yes but the poster said they did a hard stop and tried to pull a fast one. If they had signaled beforehand then yes I would agree with you, but I’m just going off what the poster said.

  — Lucky Strike (@me0wstic_) April 3, 2019

Even celebs like CHRISSY TEIGEN jumped into the debate….

  black car wasn’t just driving then saw in his rear view mirror there was a spot behind him. He passed it on purpose. TO PARALLEL PARK. anyone saying silver car – U ARE A MEAN AND BAD DRIVER!

  — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) April 3, 2019

Eventually, the whole ordeal stretched on for more than an hour. The sun went down and the two drivers were still sitting pretty in their car…waiting for that parking spot. Flores told ABC 7, “They were just on their phones, sitting there being patient. It was like a really beautiful display of patience.”

After a long saga, a miracle finally happened.

A car parked nearby pulled off, and two parking spots were now available for the black and silver car.

Both vehicles parked alongside the curb, and everything was beautiful.

However, the two drivers seemed to be quite comfortable sitting in their rides now because it took ANOTHER couple minutes for either driver to leave their car. Eventually, the driver from the silver car left their ride, and the intense episode came to an end.

Flores was so moved by the situation, she decided to leave a note for both cars.

On the silver car’s windshield, her note read “Your resilience is inspiring. Thank you for the hour & a half of entertainment. I’ll never forget you. I hope you & black car can be friends after this.”

On the black car’s windshield, her note read, “I was always on your team, I really thought you would win, but am happy with the way things turned out. Everyone on my Instagram said you deserved the spot.”

Luckily, the parking spot fiasco didn’t turn violent.

Only question is…would you have the saintly patience of the black and silver car?

50 shades of wrong.

It was autumn again, the hallways of The Tallinn Polytechnic School filled up
with the most annoying students known to any man. Screams of immature students
with underdeveloped brains filled the classrooms once again. In the large gray mass that made up the students, there was him. He didn’t fit it with the others, he was different, yet not an outcast. Just different. „Hey, Michael.“ I said in an overly excited voice. He replied with a slight nod, he never cared much for me. He slowly walked over to his desk, and slouched into position and continued to fiddle with his sudoku puzzle. It was like summer break never existed to him. He just went on doing the same thing as he did last year. He just sat there, totally unaware of his surroundings. „He’s soooo cute“ I thought to myself. I really missed him all summer. After class I got it together and finally got the courage to act upon my feelings. „You know, Mikey, I think you’re like super hot!“ I explained.
Michael just let out a slow and quiet „Okay“. This was it,  I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I went for it and kissed him right on the lips while touching his abs. „What the hell are you doing?“ yelled Michael and ran off.
Later that day I was arrested for sexually assaulting a 14 year old student.
