The Goddess MaatMaát is ethical principles collectively embracing the values of truth, justice, harmony, balance, cosmological order, reciprocity and propriety.Personified as a goddess, Maát is depicted as a woman wearing an ostrich feather on her head, a symbol of the principles she represents. Controlling the movement of the stars and the seasonal flooding of the Nile River, Maát also had codes of tradition and customs. For all Egyptians to live in a happy, prosperous and peaceful environment, they had to live within the order established by Maát. The pharaoh, as absolute ruler, was the individual most responsible to manifest in life, through all his actions, the entire concept of Maát. Deviation from the tenets of Maát could prove disastrous for the pharaoh.
Maát was central to funerary practices in which if the deceased had been found to not have followed the concept of Maát during his life (if he had lied or cheated or killed or done anything against Maát) his heart was devoured by a demon (she was called Ammut — Devouress of the Dead) and he died the final death. If the heart weighed the same as Maát, the deceased was allowed to go on to the afterlife. The heart of a person was considered the center of intellect and memory.

When aliens strike and the world ends why does it always begin in New York?
And occasionally, maybe Hollywood and DC and Alaska. I’m saying?
Aliens aren’t interested in Atlanta?
Asteroids can’t strike Philly?
Armageddon always starts with America?
For real?

Frederick J. Brown, an American artist who explored the relationship between music and painting in portraits of hundreds of jazz and blues artists, died on May 5 at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 67. …Brown occasionally painted in the abstract mode, but he was largely a figurative painter unafraid of grand projects—large-scale canvases, murals, extended series. He was known for placing his subjects, often African-Americans rendered in muted tones, against backgrounds of intense color.
