Taylor Swift donates $250k to Kesha

Taylor Swift has put her money behind Kesha.
Swift donated $250,000 to the "Tik Tok" singer on
Sunday, two days after a judge ruled against Kesha
in a case in which she asked to record music
independently of producer Dr. Luke.
Kesha has accused Dr. Luke, who signed her to a
contract in 2005, of emotional and sexual abuse.
She requested an injunction to make music outside
her six-album contract with Dr. Luke's Kemosabe
Records.
"In a show of support, Taylor Swift has donated
$250,000 to Kesha to help with any of her financial
needs during this trying time," a representative for
Swift wrote in a statement, according to Rolling
Stone.
Several notable musical names have lined up
behind Kesha in the ongoing dispute, including Lady
Gaga, Kelly Clarkson and Janelle Monae.
"There are people all over the world who love you
@KeshaRose. And I can say truly I am in awe of
your bravery," Lady Gaga said in a tweet that's
been retweeted almost 90,000 times.
Also chiming in: singer Demi Lovato, who started
with a tweet in support of Kesha but soon started
talking about empowerment in general.
"Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out
about something and then I'll be impressed," she
concluded.
Kesha, whose full name is Kesha Rose Sebert,
alleged in a suit filed in Los Angeles in 2014 that Dr.
Luke, a powerful figure in pop music whose real
name is Lukasz Gottwald, convinced her to move
away from her family in Nashville at 18 to pursue a
glamorous career as a pop star in 2005.
"For the past 10 years, Dr. Luke has sexually,
physically, verbally and emotionally abused" Kesha
"to the point where Ms. Sebert nearly lost her life,"
the suit said.

Yoruba names for some animals & birds

What does your surname says about you?

There Are 7 Types of English Surnames — Which One Is Yours? [Photo credit: Shutterstock] Many of us have surnames passed down to us from ancestors in England . Last names weren’t widely used until after the Norman conquest in 1066, but as the country’s population grew, people found it necessary to be more specific when they were talking about somebody else. Thus arose descriptions like Thomas the Baker, Norman son of Richard, Henry the Whitehead, Elizabeth of the Field, and Joan of York that, ultimately, led to many of our current surnames. There are perhaps 45,000 different English surnames , but most had their origins as one of these seven types. Occupational Occupational names identified people based on their job or position in society. Calling a man “Thomas Carpenter” indicated that he worked with wood for a living, while someone named Knight bore a sword. Other occupational names include Archer, Baker, Brewer, Butcher, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Cook, ...
