Nelson Mandela: Tribute in Haiku
Not only was Nelson Mandela a revered head of state, he was
a visionary. His death gives us cause to celebrate his life. He spent his 95
years as an advocate for change; not for black rights or white rights, but
simply for equality. We celebrate his life in haiku.
1) July 18, 1918
Nelson Mandela was born Rolihlahla Mandela, into Thembu
royal family in Mvezo, a village in south-east South Africa.
Rohilahla’s birth
meant a savior was born
Little did they know.
2) 1940
Mandela was expelled from Fort Hare University College in a
dispute over student rights, when he took part in a student demonstration.
Already the thirst
for change ran through his veins, and
his quest expels him
3) 1952
In 1952, he established South Africa’s first black law firm
in Johannesburg with Oliver Tambo as his partner.
A first of many
firsts; A step in the struggle
To fight for their rights. read more.

Nelson Mandela: President, Prisoner & Role Model for Humanity
Nelson Mandela has passed away in Johannesburg at 5pm EST. The news was confirmed by South African President Jacob Zuma. He was critically ill for the last six months. The anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician served President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, after spending 27 years in Robben Island prison. We’ve compiled a list of some of his inspiring quotes.
“Quitting is leading too.”
“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to
my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still
be in prison.”
“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than
the way in which it treats its children.”
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but
in rising every time we fall.”
“A leader. . .is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock,
letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not
realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains
unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
“Courageous people do not fear forgiving for the sake of
peace.”
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but
in rising every time we fall.”
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to
change the world.”
“In my country we go to prison first and then become
President.” Read more.

Lady Gaga Has Taken Over the World: Her Presence in Pop Culture
We explore how Lady Gaga has gone beyond just influencing
music; her effect on different aspects of culture means she’s made a place for
herself in our collective conscience.
Lady Gaga’s new album, Artpop, drops on November 11. The pop
star’s aim is not just to affect the music world; she wants to take it beyond
that, bringing art and music together in a way that challenges the barriers
between art forms. While her focus may be music, her influence has never been
limited to one sphere. Gaga is all over the place: in what we wear, what we
watch, and more and more, in how we think. Read more.

Miley Cyrus Opens MTV EMAs With Alien-Inspired Performance
Though she did smoke a joint while onstage at the MTV
European Music Awards (EMAs) in Amsterdam on Nov. 10, Miley Cyrus' EMA antics
were tame in comparison with her now-infamous VMA performance with Robin Thicke
from August.
The 20-year-old crooner opened the show singing "We
Can't Stop" in a knee-length, skintight silver Norma Kamali long-sleeve
dress. And though the ensemble showed off her curves and lack of bra, compared
to her nude-colored spandex two-piece at the VMA's it came off as surprisingly
conservative.

Lady Gaga Videography
Lady Gaga is coming out with Artpop, and while the music
video for Applause may have disappointed, we want to remind the world of all
the amazing Gaga videos that preceded it.
Are you one of the countless Monsters disappointed by the Applause music
video? Did the highbrow art references confuse you? Did Lady Gaga
randomly turning into a duck also make you wonder whether any animals
were harmed in the making of the video? Don’t let Applause shatter your
faith in Mother Monster. Read more.
