Ariana Grande Releases 7th Studio Album “Eternal Sunshine”

Written by: Vera Rudolphi

Ariana Grande’s newest album “Eternal Sunshine” recently came out at midnight on March 8, 2024. Fans have long awaited this seventh studio album as her last album, “Positions,” came out nearly four years ago on October 30, 2020. The concept for this album is reflection of all kinds of relationships, both the failed ones and the ones currently forming.

In an interview with Zane Lowe and Apple Music, Grande spoke about the process of writing this album after taking a long break from music to film Wicked. She told Lowe in an emotional moment that this album has felt so different from all of the others because of how present she has been able to be during the whole process of creating it. As a result of taking a step back from writing and music, she has been able to come to terms with the resentment built from a harmful relationship with her work.

The interview also highlighted not only how healing writing this album has been for Grande, but how healing the lyrics are for listeners. Many of the songs on “Eternal Sunshine” have multiple meanings. Everyone can find something in this album, whether it be words they were waiting to hear or words they didn’t know they needed.

Overall, “Eternal Sunshine” is an album that is both beautifully written and beautifully sung. Grande’s vocals are calming and feel like a warm blanket being thrown over your shoulders. The tracks pack both the emotional punch of previous songs like “Get Well Soon” and “Imagine” while also still providing fun dance anthems reminiscent of songs like “Greedy” and “Thank You, Next.” Fans and new listeners will not be disappointed with any of the songs on record. It will certainly be very exciting to watch, and listen to, this whole new era of Ariana Grande.

A suprising Source of Water: Thin Air!

Written by: John Simmoneau

There are countless countries where clean water is unable to be produced. There are around 2.1 billion people in the world without access to clean drinking water, and that is almost 1/4 of the entire global population. This is a detrimental issue that we’ve been struggling with for generations. Though in recent events, that might change. A Public-benefit corporation, which strives to make money for itself and help the needy, called SOURCE has called upon itself to create a fix to this issue; a solar panel that creates water.

Now it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it pulls water from nothing, as in fact it pulls energy from the most important thing to our survival, the sun. First, the machine will absorb energy from the sun in an act to power itself fully without more input. Secondly, it starts to pull moisture from the air as it turns into water vapor. Thirdly, it uses some of its energy from the sun to condense the water vapor into liquid water. Lastly, the water is delivered straight into the pipes of people’s homes and through their faucets.

Only costing a little over $2,000, this machine can easily be afforded by almost any country. Depending on the weather and climate of the area, it can easily make liters of water every day. This may not sound like a lot, but with a couple of them it can make a giant improvement to any community with little to no drinking water. You may think, “What happens when we run out of water in the air?”, but that won’t happen for a very long time since the air contains 6x the amount of water that the Earth’s oceans do. This single device could change the lives of billions.

This life changing device will most likely create a better future for all humans. SOURCE is working hard to create a world where all people don’t have to worry about getting diseases whenever they drink water. I am grateful we have this technology that may fix an issue that's been happening for generations. All in all, we can expect great things like this in the present and the future as world events unfold.
