title: Spring Awakening Music Festival

text:
Spring Awakening Music Festival (SAMF) was an annual electronic dance music (EDM) festival held in Chicago. The festival started at a theater in 2008, moved to Soldier Field in 2012–2015, and to Addams/Medill Park in 2016–2018. In 2019, the festival moved to the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, the former site of the Poplar Creek Music Theater. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival was not held in 2020, and the 2021 event was held in October at Addams/Medill Park. The 2022 festival was scheduled to be held at the United Center on July 8–10, but was subsequently cancelled.

History
Spring Awakening was founded as a concert series in 2008. The event eventually outgrew the theater, and in 2012 SAMF was turned into a two-day outdoor music festival at Soldier Field by the Chicago-based promoting agency React Presents. In 2013, Spring Awakening Music Festival expanded to three days with over 90,000 people in attendance. SAMF has traditionally been held either the second or third weekend of June. Over the years, the festival has become increasingly popular due to the large fan base of electronic dance music in the Chicago area. As people now come from across the nation and globe just to attend the festival, there are discussed rumors that the festival could be extending onwards towards other states.

Producers
Founded in 2008, React Presents is a club, festival, and concert festival promotion company based in Chicago. React Presents produces four festivals: Spring Awakening Music Festival, North Coast Music Festival, Forever Festival, and Summer Set Music & Camping Festival.

2012
In 2012 SAMF became a two-day festival and was held June 16–17 at Soldier Field.

The festival was initially announced to occupy the "Stadium Green" surrounding Soldier Field, but after overwhelming demand, the festival moved the main stage inside of the stadium at the north end zone. Over 50,000 people attended Spring Awakening Music festival 2012.

Some of the main performers included Skrillex, Afrojack, Diplo, A-Trak, Benny Benassi, Dillon Francis, Moby, Flux Pavilion, Hardwell, Datsik, Morgan Page and more.

2013

In 2013 SAMF expanded to a three-day festival and was held June 14–16, 2013 at Soldier Field.

This year was much more organized and even bigger. The festival created a three-day "rave". It was attended by kids in vibrant colors, creative outfits, and expressive jewelry to enjoy their favorite artist's music.

Since Spring Awakening expanded to three days, they added another stage, totaling two stages and two tents, for over 100 world renown artists and over 75,000 attendees.

Some of the main performers included Bassnectar, Calvin Harris, Bingo Players, Carnage, Chuckie, Excision, Flosstradamus, Krewella, Nicky Romero, Nervo, Porn and Chicken, Porter Robinson, ZEDD, Zeds Dead and Zomboy.

2014

Spring Awakening had its third annual concert on June 13–15, 2014. In the 2014 season, Spring Awakening was one of the few remaining all age festivals. Spring Awakening Music Festival launched SAMF Safe & Sound, an initiative which encouraged attendees to contact security or the wellness team if they felt unsafe. React was purchased by SFX Entertainment last February.

Some of the main artists included Tiesto, Pretty Lights, Diplo, Knife Party, Kaskade, Big Gigantic, Benny Benassi, Bingo Players, Dillon Francis, Eric Prydz, Flux Pavilion, A-Track, Borgore, Caked Up, Carnage, Chuckie, Datsik, DVBBS, Nervo, Dj Snake and more.

2015

The 2015 SAMF took place June 12–14, 2015 at Soldier Field. Artists included ZEDD, Hardwell, Tiesto, Diplo, Afrojack, Dada Life, Excision, Flosstradamus, Martin Garrix, Zeds Dead, Zomboy, Paul van Dyk, Adventure Club, Borgore, Bro Safari, Headhunterz, Party Favor, Tommy Trash, Yellow Claw and Jack ü.

In 2015 the festival had four stages to better accommodate more than 75 acts. SAMF had also changed its minimum age requirement to 18. The new changes came in the hope of making sure that safety is the number one priority for the fans, artists, and staff. An official spokesperson of SAMF quoted that they, "believe the festival is an experience for adults. This difficult decision was made to promote safety amongst our fans and ensure the best experience for our attendees and future attendees".

A 19-year-old, Steve Vongkoth, died at the event; the death is thought to be drug-related.

2016
SAMF 2016 was held June 10–12, 2016 and had five stages, including two main stages for the very first time in the event's history, and hosted a wide array of over 100 acts from across the electronic music spectrum.

The main stage, dubbed the DJ Stage, held performances from Above & Beyond, Kaskade, The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Dillon Francis, Carnage, Nicky Romero, DVBBS, Dash Berlin, and others.

The second main stage, dubbed the Electronic Stage, showed Deadmau5, Zeds Dead, Jamie xx, RL Grime, Flying Lotus, Crystal Castles, Flux Pavilion, Gramatik, Gesaffelstein, A-Trak, Madeon and more.

The Bass Kitchen, Body Language, and Trance Arena stages provided attendees with the opportunity to experience nonstop variety in both music and visual displays. Record label Dirtybird Records, publication DJ Mag and Pete Tong curated the festivities, each hosting a slew of acts from all across the production spectrum throughout the weekend.

In 2016, attendees experienced the event on the sprawling, grassy fields of Addams/Medill Park in the near West side of Chicago. Visitors had public transportation options from both the CTA Pink Line and Green Line trains. The park was accessible from the Ashland, Roosevelt, and the 18th Street CTA buses.

2017
The 2017 Spring Awakening was held June 9–11 at Addams/Medill Park in Chicago's southwest side, near Roosevelt Road and Ashland Avenue.

The lineup included Armin van Buuren, Benny Benassi, Paul van Dyk, Audien, Robin Schulz, Paul Oakenfold, and Martin Garrix.  There were six different stages with performances from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM each day.

title: Hadith of Jesus praying behind Mahdi

text:
Hadith of Jesus Praying Behind Mahdi () refers to a collection of hadith (sayings of Muhammad related to the prophecy that after Jesus (Isa) descends and joins the Mahdi and his followers in the final days before the destruction of Earth, Jesus will decline the offer of the Mahdi to lead the Mahdi and company in salat (Islamic ritual prayer which Muslims perform five times a day) telling the Mahdi to lead. The Mahdi is an Islamic figure in Islamic eschatology, and salat is the Islamic practice of worship of God. The prophecy is narrated in numerous hadith collections. A total of 29 Hadiths relate the return of Jesus, and his prayer with Mahdi's lead.

Hadith

Both Sunni and Shia hadith narrate this story.

Allamah Sayyid Sa'eed Akhtar Rizvi quotes the above tradition in his book "Muhammad (S) is the Last Prophet" and concludes:

Abu Ya’ala provides another version of this hadith in his musnad with more clear terms.

Interpretation
Sunni and Shia Muslims hold that Isa (Jesus) and the Mahdi will be present at the same time, that the leaders who will carry out their commands will be from the Quraysh tribe,  It's also believed that he will perform the prayer behind Mahdi . Jalaluddin al-Suyuti writes in his Nuzool Isa Ibn Maryam Akhir al-Zaman that:

title: Nick Driver

text:
Nick Driver is an American rock and Americana singer-songwriter, based in North Carolina.

In 2010, he released his debut solo album, Warm Is Your Color, which had a top-ten song hit on Sirius XM's The Coffee House radio station. Wildy's World stated about Warm Is Your Color that "Driver looks to bring the energy of punk to the finesse and precision of pop music." He has released several full-length albums and singles since, and his songs have been featured on the television shows Bad Girls Club: Atlanta, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, The Real World: St. Thomas, and The Real World: Portland. On September 9, 2014, he released the EP Staring at My Ceiling in the Dark.

Driver tours and records as part of The Nick Driver Band, which has appeared at festivals such as FloydFest.

In 2011, he was nominated at the John Lennon International Songwriting Contest for folk, and in 2012, he was nominated for Humanitarian Songwriter of the Year at the Las Vegas Music Awards.

Early life, education and early career
Driver was born in Zebulon, North Carolina, where he grew up on a farm. Driver has stated that "I wanted to play music for as long as I can remember. I guess around 1999 it hit me that [making music] is what I wanted to do. I never really turned back, and I never really had a back up plan." He started a rock band in high school, before moving to Raleigh, North Carolina, to attend North Carolina University.

While a student he studied classical vocals and guitar. He also played in a number of post-hardcore punk bands, which in both 2007 and 2009 were featured on the Vans Warped Tour.

Music career

Warm Is Your Color (2010)
After playing heavy rock styles for close to a decade, Driver began writing music in a primarily acoustic style. His debut solo LP Warm Is Your Color was self-released on January 1, 2010. He toured the United States in support of the album, which had a top ten song hit on Sirius XM's The Coffeehouse, titled "Let's Stay Together."

Wildy's World gave Warm Is Your Color a positive review and 3/5 stars, calling it an "adroit turn" and stating that "turning to word-heavy light acoustic pop (ala Jason Mraz) and balladry, Driver looks to bring the energy of punk to the finesse and precision of pop music". The review praised the creativity of several songs in particular, but criticized others for not suiting Driver's style. "The more up-tempo acoustic pop songs work very well for Driver, whereas the slow ballads find Driver losing energy, focus and sound." Music Spectrum also compared Driver's style to Mraz, and stated, "Aside from the Mraz comparison, I also hear what's called Speedwood by the group Lost & Found. What they mean are some hard acoustic guitar lines—kind of a punk energy to folk music. Driver displays this on 'Young Beautiful,' with the guitar accentuated by congas."

Recent years
Driver went on to release several more solo albums after Warm Is Your Color. A Kinda Love This World Could Never Burn, his next, was released on April 12, 2011, on Talkback Records. His single off the album, "Spare Me Some Change", led to Driver being a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Award for Folk in 2011. Later that year, he released the EP Coffee House Hero: Live & Rare Acoustic B-Sides on Interscope Digital Distribution.

Driver self-released Poet's Corner, Vol. One on September 25, 2012. It received a positive review in Indy Week, which stated the album lacked adventure and is instead "a record of simple and openhearted tunes, and when it works, Driver offers the kind of amiable pop that Matt Nathanson would be proud to call his own, as with the endearing 'Collect the Rain'". Jonah Matranga sang backing vocals for Driver's song "Universal Love" on the album Poets' Corner Volume One in late 2012. In 2013, he independently released two albums: Folsom Prison Blues and The Nicky D LP.

Driver's songs have been featured on television shows, including Bad Girls Club: Atlanta on Oxygen Network, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami on E! Network,  The Real World: St. Thomas, and The Real World: Portland.

On September 9, 2014, he released the EP Staring at My Ceiling in the Dark.

The Nick Driver Band

Formed to record on Driver's studio albums and perform live, early on The Nick Driver Band included Driver, Darren Abbacchi, Elijah Ott, Billy Hinnant, and Jared Pyle. Other past members include Jade Werth on guitar, keyboards, and harp. In 2012, The Nick Driver Band won "Best Rock Band in the Triangle" by The Independent Weekly in Raleigh.

The band has toured extensively throughout the United States, and opened for groups such as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, North Mississippi All-Stars, Pat Benatar, The Lumineers, Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Less Than Jake, and Creed.

The band has performed at festivals, including the Warped Tour, The American Music Festival, Celebrate Fairfax, and Floydfest 2013.

Members as of 2014
Nick Driver – vocals, guitars, songwriting
Darren Abbacchi – drums
Mike Chidsey – lead guitar

Style
Driver uses few effects in his solo material, and mostly relies on acoustic instruments. While he incorporates the stylings of multiple genres, much of his music has an "Americana, singer-songwriter feel".

According to Driver, "Jamie King from Swift is a big influence on me and my music. He's the most talented producer I've ever worked [with]." Driver has also cited poets such as Sylvia Plath as influences on his lyrics, stating "She was intense. I make loads of sunshine type songs, but a lot of my influences have a tendency to be a little bit on the darker, edgier side of things." About his message, "I guess...I want to express that the simple things in life are the best. I want to make love and relationships sound like an interesting concept like they truly are."

Personal life
Driver is based in Raleigh.

title: Rafael Barreno

text:
Rafael Barreno Martínez (born September 30, 1977 in Punto Fijo, Falcón) is an amateur Venezuelan Greco-Roman wrestler, who competed in the men's super heavyweight category. Considering one of South America's top Greco-Roman wrestlers in his decade, Barreno has claimed a prestigious gold medal at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, produced a staggering tally of four medals (one silver and three bronze) at the Pan American Games, and also represented as part of the Venezuelan team in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004). Throughout his sporting career, Barreno currently trains for Pena Gillit Wrestling Club in his native town Punto Fijo, under his personal coach Milcho Radulovski.

Career
Barreno made his official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's super heavyweight division (130 kg). He lost his opening match to Ukraine's Georgiy Saldadze by a tough 0–9 blowout, but redeemed himself to dismantle Australia's Laszlo Kovacs into the ring with a four-point advantage on his second bout. Finishing second in the prelim pool and twelfth overall in the final rankings, Barreno's performance fell short to put him further into the quarterfinals.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Barreno qualified for his second Venezuelan squad, as a 26-year-old, in the men's 120 kg class by placing fifth and receiving a berth from the first Olympic Qualification Tournament in Novi Sad, Serbia and Montenegro. Unlike his previous Games, Barreno suffered through a less tactical game plan as he lost two straight matches each to Armenia's fellow two-time Olympian Haykaz Galstyan with an arduous 3–9 decision, and France's Yannick Szczepaniak, who threw him off the mat by a technical superiority, in the prelim pool. Barreno failed again to advance further into the quarterfinals after finishing the pool in last place and sixteenth overall.

Barreno sought to compete in two more editions of the Olympic Games (2008 and 2012), but missed a chance to earn a spot on the Venezuelan team through the Olympic Qualification Tournament. In 2010, Barreno emerged himself into the global and continental scene, as he took home his first gold in the super heavyweight division at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, thrashing Panama's Irving Herrera in the process. Because of his brilliant success, Barreno was officially named the Athlete of the Year by the Venezuelan Federation of Amateur Wrestling. The following year, Barreno continued to flourish his sporting career, as he picked up a silver medal on his final match against Cuban wrestler and defending Olympic champion Mijaín López at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, producing a stark record of four medals, including three bronze, to his career hardware.

title: Dunn triplets

text:
The Dunn triplets, Zoe, Sophie and Emma (born April 30, 2000), are the world's only known deafblind triplets. They are all deaf and blind because of their extremely premature birth and first few months of life.

Birth and infancy
The identical triplets are the world's only known deafblind triplets. They  were born on April 30, 2000, at 24 weeks. Their mother had gone into labor at 23 weeks, and had managed to hold off delivery until signs of distress in the triplets led to an emergency Caesarean. The law in the state of Texas at the time of their birth stated that heroic efforts must be given to any child born 24 weeks or later. The three sisters spent months in hospitals, but all three survived to go home. As a result of their premature birth, all three developed advanced-stage retinopathy of prematurity. They began to lose their hearing after their first birthday and by their second birthday were completely deaf. They had developed ototoxicity from the antibiotics they were given in hospital to prevent infection.

Treatment and education
The triplets live in the Austin area with their mother, Liz, stepfather, Phillip Norris, and older sister Sarah. All three are completely deaf, but received cochlear implants shortly before their third birthday and have subsequently all been given a second cochlear implant. Sophie is legally blind, but she can still see shapes and read very large print at close range. She also has tunnel vision and wears thick glasses. Zoe and Emma see only darkness. All three have average intelligence, yet their extreme impairments cause them to perform below average Sophie can speak; the others communicate mainly through tactile sign language. With the aid of a grant from the Dr. Phil Foundation, the girls have been able to curb some expenses for cochlear implant parts and low vision aids.

Films and TV
The triplets have been featured on Dr. Phil twice and have been the focus of two documentaries: Through Your Eyes (2006) and Deaf and Blind Triplets (2008).

Dharanindra was the successor of Panangkaran, he ruled the kingdom in the period 775—800. He was mentioned as a great conqueror and credited for Sailendra's overseas campaign.

He was mentioned in Kelurak inscription (dated 782) in his formal reign name Sri Sanggrama Dhananjaya. In this inscription he was hailed as Wairiwarawiramardana or "the slayer of courageous enemies". The similar title also found in Ligor B inscription discovered in Southern Thailand Malay Peninsula; Sarwwarimadawimathana, which suggest it referred to the same person. Dharanindra seems to be a warlike character, as he embarked on military naval expedition overseas and has brought Sailendras' control on Ligor in Malay Peninsula. After conquering and taking Ligor back from Water Chenla, he also launched raids against Champa in 774 and 770, and conquered Southern Cambodia in Mekong delta in early 9th century. During this time, Jayavarman II from Java, was probably the commander of the Śailendra (Srivijaya) army. At the behest of Maharaja of Srivijaya (Dharaindra), Jayavarman II was installed as a new Cambodia king and Angkor Dynasty was founded.

King Indra seems to continue the builder tradition of his predecessor. He continued and completed the construction of Manjusrigrha temple, and according to the Karangtengah inscription (dated 824) responsible for the construction of Venuvana temple, connected to Mendut or probably Ngawen temple. He was also probably responsible for the conception, planning and initiate the construction of Borobudur and Pawon temple.

title: Une double famille

text:
Une double famille (A Second Home) is a lengthy short story by Honoré de Balzac. The story first appeared in 1830 under the title La femme vertueuse (The Virtuous Woman). It was subsequently published in 1832 by Mame et Delaunay as part of Balzac's Scènes de la vie privée (Scenes from Private Life). In 1835, it appeared, in an edition by Madame Béchet, in the collection Études de mœurs (Studies of Manners). The novel only acquired its present title in 1842, when the fifth edition appeared in Volume I of the Scenes from Private Life, which was also the first volume of Balzac's La Comédie humaine.

The novel comprises two parts, two stories, which are really two sides of the same story. The plot revolves around an act of adultery - a double life, a second family - which is in some sense justified. From the beginning, the setting recalls the atmosphere of Balzac's Ferragus. In a squalid house, in a sordid neighbourhood, an old woman offers an angelic creature - her own daughter - to passers by. The Comte de Granville, unhappily married to a sanctimonious woman, falls in love with this grisette. An aristocrat and a magistrate of integrity, he had made a name for himself in the Gondreville affair, which Balzac would later recount in Une ténébreuse affaire (A Murky Affair).

In this work, the author protests against the excesses of bigotry and, according to a principle dear to him, he contrasts the interior design of an aristocratic house with both the grime of a squalid Parisian neighbourhood and the cheerful décor of a grisette's apartment (another familiar theme in the works of Balzac). Madame du Granville's home is, in his eyes: a place of cold, arid solemnity, of moral rectitude and narrow-mindedness. Whereas the grisette's flat, like that of La Torpille (Esther Van Gobseck), is a place of delights.

Plot
Caroline Crochard, a delightful young girl living with her mother in squalid conditions, spends her time sewing in the window. The Comte de Granville, an aristocrat who was married at too young an age to a bigoted woman, and who is now unhappy in his home, sees the girl and falls in love with her. Balzac takes up their story some years later. Caroline is now richly installed in a luxurious apartment with two children, whose father, known to Caroline as Roger de Granville, cannot acknowledge them on account of his marriage. Eventually Caroline abandons de Granville and takes up with an impoverished young man, who squanders her property.

Commentary
The author of La Comédie humaine once again employs the technique of the retrospective illumination when in Une ténébreuse affaire, which Balzac began to write in 1839, we are given a glimpse of the professional and political side of de Granville's life - the upright magistrate, who reappears in Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes (Scenes from a Courtesan's Life) of 1838.

Criticism
This story can be considered a minor work of Balzac, who is not particularly known for his achievements in the genre of melodrama. His talent as a portraitist, however, shines through in the character of Caroline, a talent he displayed and refined throughout the writing of La Comédie humaine.

title: Dance Central Spotlight

text:
Dance Central Spotlight is a music rhythm game developed by Harmonix and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox One Kinect. The game provides a stripped-down experience in comparison to previous Dance Central titles, maintaining the core gameplay of the franchise, but with a focus on providing more routines per-song, the regular release of new, recent songs as downloadable content, and leverage of improvements to the motion detection capabilities of Kinect for Xbox One.

Gameplay
Similarly to previous installments in the franchise, players must mirror the dance routine of an on-screen dancer, as instructed by "flash cards" indicating specific moves in the routine. Players are judged and scored on the accuracy of their performance. Each song includes up to eight routines, including four difficulty levels of the standard routine, along with two fitness-oriented routines and two "alternate" routines. Additional routines and difficulty levels are unlocked for songs by collecting flash cards by getting "Flawless" ratings on individual moves.

Spotlight includes songs from artists like Rihanna, Lorde and Pharrell Williams. It focuses primarily on the core gameplay of the franchise, with a simplified offering of standard and fitness modes, and no story mode or other minigames like past versions. The practice mode was overhauled to use a dynamic, "on-demand" approach, rather than the "regimented" approach used by previous Dance Central games: players can now jump to training mode in-game by using a voice or controller command. Once activated, the player can practice the relevant portion, slow down the routine, and go to different parts of the song. When the player exits practice, the song continues from where it was left off.

The following ten songs are bundled with the game:

Development and release
Dance Central Spotlight was unveiled at E3 2014. The overall gameplay of the Dance Central franchise was enhanced by the increased capabilities of the Xbox One Kinect sensor, which has a higher resolution camera and better gesture recognition than the Xbox 360 iteration. In total, the game can recognize 7,000 different dance moves. Harmonix director Matthew Nordhaus also teased the presence of tougher alternate routines for individual songs, aimed particularly at expert players. Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos felt that Microsoft's introduction of lower-cost Xbox One bundles excluding Kinect wasn't a "shock" and the bundling of Kinect with Xbox One on launch did not influence the development of Spotlight in any way.

Unlike previous installments in the franchise, Spotlight places a heavy emphasis on downloadable content and the ability for players to purchase songs on an À la carte basis; Nordhaus noted that due to improvements in motion capture technology and the need to perform fewer QA tests because of the improved Kinect accuracy (specifically noting the need to do large levels of tuning for hand detection on the Xbox 360 version), Harmonix staff could produce new routines for the game in just "days" rather than months. Emphasizing that players wanted to have quicker in-game access to current hit music, Nordhaus stated that Harmonix would now be able to release new songs as DLC while they are still charting.

Dance Central Spotlight was officially released on September 2, 2014; unlike other installments in the series, the game is only available via digital means. The base game includes 10 songs; new songs for the game were released on a near-weekly basis for a "substantial" period of time. A pre-paid code to download Spotlight is also included with standalone Kinect for Xbox One units, which were released on October 7, 2014.

On March 8, 2015, Nisha and Claptrap (despite his lack of legs and using a wheel) from the Borderlands franchise were added as bonus characters via cheat codes; Harmonix had assisted in animating portions of a trailer for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! (which was being re-released for Xbox One later that month alongside a port of Borderlands 2, as part of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection).

Legacy downloadable content
All DLC from previous Dance Central games were ported to Spotlight—they were re-released progressively in batches following the game's release. The ported DLC include their standard routines from the original version (with additional moves not seen in the original version for Dance Central 1 songs), along with four alternate routines, as with Spotlight-specific songs. Songs that were previously purchased on the Xbox 360 versions of Dance Central can be re-downloaded on Spotlight at no extra charge.

Spotlight downloadable content

Reception

GameSpot gave Spotlight an 8 out of 10, praising its cleaner interface and dropping of extraneous features for "[removing] the obstacles between you and just getting out there and dancing", and its new business model as a "tremendous value" for players. However, its minimalistic feedback for player performance was considered a double-edged sword due to the new unlock system's emphasis on rewarding the learning of individual moves.

title: Manslaughter (album)

text:
Manslaughter is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Body Count. The album was released on June 10, 2014, by Sumerian Records. It is the first album to feature new rhythm guitarist Juan of the Dead and new drummer Ill Will. The album also features the return of sampler Sean E Sean, who rejoined the group in 2008.

Background
On December 9, 2012, Ice-T announced on Twitter that Body Count would begin production on a fifth studio album in January 2013. The following day, Ice-T revealed that Body Count has signed with Sumerian Records. Ice-T suggested that the album was going to be titled Rise! or Manslaughter.

On May 10, 2013, Ice-T announced that work on the fifth studio album had begun and that it would be entitled Manslaughter. The album was released on June 10, 2014. On May 19, 2014, the album's first single "Talk Shit, Get Shot" was released. On May 21, 2014, the music video was released for "Talk Shit, Get Shot".

Critical response

The album received generally positive reviews, and received a score of 72/100 from Metacritic, based on six reviews.

Gregory Heaney of AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars, saying "At this stage, Body Count haven't changed much, and really aren't likely to, which means that if you were on board with their earlier work, then Manslaughter has even more rap-influenced metal to fuel your rage. However, if you weren't sold on these guys in the first place, this album isn't likely to change your mind." While Craig Hogan of All About The Rock said "This is quite possibly the best album BC have ever released." Phil Freeman of Alternative Press gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Manslaughter is a ferocious, heavy record that proves once again that Ice-T and company are undeniable metal contenders, far more than a pop-cultural footnote." Jon Hadusek of Consequence of Sound gave the album a B−, saying "Lyrically and musically, Manslaughter is easily Body Count's most inspired work since their self-titled debut, because it sounds like a reconciliation of all the misconceptions the band had to deal with in the past. It's a statement of intent this time: They want to be heard, no matter who gets offended or pissed off. If you can't take it, don't listen. If you can, then stop talking shit and enjoy the ride."

title: Llantood

text:
Llantood (formerly Llantyd, Llantwyd or Llan-Illtyd) is a hamlet and parish in Cilgerran community, north Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Location
Llantood is  south-west of Cardigan on the A487 Cardigan to Newport road near the north Pembrokeshire coast. It consists of a few houses, farms and a parish church on an open hill agricultural area averaging  above sea level. Nearby settlements include Bridell, Glanrhyd, Monington, Pontgarreg and Tygwyn.

History
Evidence of prehistoric occupation can be seen by the remains of fortifications at Penralltddu, a scheduled monument, and at Castell Felinganol (or Castellfelorganol).

The name of the hamlet is assumed to derive from the 5th century saint, Illtyd, to whom the parish church is now dedicated. Church records date back to 1674, and the parish was in the Hundred of Kilgerran (formed in 1536) even though it was in the Cemais administrative area. The region was occupied by the Normans in the 12th century, who built castles at several strategic locations in the area; the clear remains of a motte and bailey exists at Castell Penyrallt (or Castell Pen-yr-allt). A clergyman in 1864 remembered stonework on the latter, but this was no longer evident at the time of the 1925 Royal Commission. The Norman structure may have reused a prehistoric fort.

The name of the parish church was Langetot in the Taxatio of 1293, as Langettod in the St David's episcopal register of 1513, and appears on a 1578 parish map of Pembrokeshire as Llantwood. The attachment to St Illtyd may therefore be of later origin.

In 1870, Llantwyd was listed in Wilson's Gazetteer as consisting of , 61 houses and a population of 264.

Significant buildings

Parish church
The present parish church of St Illtud dates from 1884, replacing an earlier church of 1820. Stones in the porch suggest there was a church as far back as the 13th century.

Tredefaid
A Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to the 17th century or earlier. It was originally the home of the Lewes family, and later the Bowen family.

Penralltddu
A Victorian farmhouse built for J. W. Bowen in 1861 on the site of an earlier house dating back at least to 1773.

Pentre Solar, Glanrhyd
A development of six sustainable homes at Glanrhyd was approved by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park's planning committee in June 2014, with conditions that the buildings would be manufactured locally and free solar powered electricity would be provided. The development was completed in 2017.

title: Cytoreductive surgery

text:
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce the amount of cancer cells in the abdominal cavity for patients with tumors that have spread intraabdominally (peritoneal carcinomatosis).  It is often used to treat ovarian cancer but can also be used for other abdominal malignancies.

CRS is often used in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), for some cancer diagnosis it considerably increases life expectancy and reduces the rate of cancer recurrence.

Its main developer was Paul Sugarbaker who is known for the development of cytoreductive surgery followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, or HIPEC, a treatment alternately referred to as the Sugarbaker Procedure.

Ovarian cancer
Among patients with stage III epithelial ovarian cancer, the addition of HIPEC to interval cytoreductive surgery resulted in longer recurrence-free survival and overall survival than surgery alone and did not result in higher rates of side effects.

Colorectal cancer
Among colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis cytoreductive surgery, with the addition of HIPEC can be used to prolong overall survival in patients.

title: Monagas (surname)

text:
The last name Monagas is a Hispanicized version of the Irish surname Monaghan

Origins

The Monagas family originated in County Monaghan in Ireland, the first use of the last name Monagas was in the 1600s when Irish officials immigrated to the Canary Islands (Spain), to aid Spanish soldiers in defending the new colony from pirates.
After Spanish colonies were set up in South America, many of the descendants of Monaghan emigrated from the Canary Islands and settled in the Viceroyalty of New Granada.
When Spanish emigration peaked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Monagases moved to Latin America, as a result their descendants can be found throughout South America and the Caribbean, particularly in Venezuela, Cuba and Puerto Rico.

title: Heide–Karolinenkoog railway

text:
The Heide–Karolinenkoog railway was a now closed line in the Dithmarschen district in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, connecting the district seat of Heide via Weddingstedt with the ferry over the Eider in Karolinenkoog. A section of the line north of Heide, a few kilometres long, is now part of the Heide–Büsum railway.

Geography

The line runs branched off from the Marsh Railway in Heide station and later passed under it. In Karolinenkoog there was a steam ferry port to Tonning. In satellite images the line can still be clearly seen because in followed a dead straight path. The route of a section of the line is now used by part of federal highway 5 running between the end of Autobahn 23 at Heide-West via Hemme to the Eider bridge at Tönning.

Operations and history

The Heide–Karolinenkoog railway was opened, together with the Neumünster–Heide railway, on 22 August 1877. It was built and operated by the West Holstein Railway Company (Westholsteinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft).

The Wesselburen–Heide Railway Company (Wesselburen–Heider Eisenbahngesellschaft) opened a branch from Weddinghusen to the town of Wesselburen on 1 November 1878 and to Büsum in 1883 (for freight from 1 November and for passengers from 15 November)—this route, the Heide–Büsum railway, still exists today.

The Karolinenkoog–Karolinenkoog Eider ferry section was opened on 1 June 1886. From there, a steam ferry operated for passengers and freight over the Eider river to Tonning.

The Western Holstein railway company was taken over by the Prussian state railways on 1 July 1890.

The line to Karolinenkoog survived only until 20 January 1940. On this day the last train ran to the Karolinenkoog landing ramp, which was destroyed by bombs on this day. Passenger services were cut back to Hemmerwurth on 1 November 1942 and to Weddinghusen at the timetable change on 23 May 1954. Freight traffic to Hemme ended on the last day of 1958. Freight traffic operated to Weddinghusen until 30 April 1968.

title: My Old Lady (film)

text:
My Old Lady  is a 2014 comedy-drama film written and directed by Israel Horovitz in his feature directorial debut, based on his 1996 play of the same name. The film stars Maggie Smith, Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Dominique Pinon. It was screened in the Special Presentations section of the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

Plot
Mathias/'Jim', a down-and-out New Yorker, travels to Paris planning to sell the large, valuable apartment in a coveted area he has inherited from his estranged father. Once there, he discovers an old woman, Mathilde, living in the apartment with her daughter Chloé.

Jim quickly learns that the apartment is a "viager" — an ancient French system for buying and selling property — meaning he will not actually be in possession of it until Mathilde dies. Until then he owes her a life annuity of €2,400 a month. All this is a surprise to him, as his father never told him and Jim had communication problems with the French lawyer, who doesn't speak English.

Jim has no money and no place to live, but Mathilde will allow him to stay in the apartment with her if he pays rent. However, to pay for the next life annuity payment, he takes and sells furniture from the apartment and also asks a prospective buyer of his contract for advance payments.

Inquiring after Mathilde's health her doctor/English student tells Jim she's in excellent health. Chatting over dinner, he learns she also barters English lessons with the fishmonger. Mathilde asks him if he visited there over the years, but he hadn't as his mother considered it to be enemy territory.

The next day, Jim invites Chloé and hotelier Francois Roy to a café as he wants to discuss possibly selling part of the house by dividing it into two apartments. Neither likes the idea, so Jim asks for a modest retainer while he considers Roy's offer (his way of getting a bit of cash).

Discovering Chloé is going to dinner with her male companion, Jim follows her after class. She goes to a café, waving down the man he's seen her entering a hotel with some days before. He waves her off, as he's going to dine with his wife and daughters. Observing this, Jim calls her out on it, trying to blackmail her to avoid paying the 2,400 euros.

Mathias/Jim discovers that Mathilde and his father had a very long-lasting affair started seven years before he was born, while both were married (they couldn't afford to marry each other). (And incidentally, his French name is the male equivalent of Mathilde.)

Jim makes Mathilde see how her affair with his father affected him and his mother. He felt unloved and ignored, so he turned to drink and had a string of failed marriages. She had a string of failed suicides, finally succeeding when he was 19, which he saw upon return from college.

After meeting with Roy to accept the sale, Jim returns to the apartment. Finding a photo of he and Chloé together at ten, Mathilde mentions it was the only time he's been there, and that his father stopped coming by after his mother died. Then Jim himself confesses to having slit his own wrists at 40, but although his father lived a few blocks away he didn't visit.

Upon reflection of how the adultery of their parents affected them emotionally, Chloé  breaks off her affair. Both she and Jim recall and bond over their childhoods. At 10 she realised about her mother's affair, at the same time he is trying to prevent the first of many suicide attempts by his.

The next day, Jim accepts the papers from Roy's lawyer, and Mathilde comes in, postulating that his mother must have known and approved of her affair with his father. When he divulges that she had 10 to 15 suicide attempts, the last being successful, she collapses from shock.

Jim and Chloé have a moment and kiss, but then when she asks Mathilde if she shares a father with Jim, she says she is unsure. He overhears, so goes to run blood tests at the doctor's.

Once Mathias/Jim gets the confirmation that he and Chloé are not related, as she wants to stay in the apartment, he decides at the last minute to decline Roy's multi-million Euro offer for the apartment/contract. Mathilde points out that they do not have to worry about money if they sell en viager, albeit they'd receive a modest income due to their relatively young ages.

Development
The film My Old Lady is an adaptation of Horovitz's play of the same name, which premiered in 1996 at the Gloucester Stage Co., founded by Horovitz in East Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Horovitz, principally a playwright and theatre director, and whose plays have been translated and performed in more than 30 languages worldwide, had previously directed only one film, 3 Weeks After Paradise, a 51-minute testimonial from 2002 about his family's experiences following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York's World Trade Center.

Production
My Old Lady is a British–French–American film production venture between BBC Films, Cohen Media Group, and Deux Chevaux Films. The film is produced by Rachael Horovitz (Moneyball), Gary Foster (Sleepless in Seattle), Nitsa Benchetrit and David Barrot. Film production began filming on location in Paris and its surrounding suburbs on September 26, 2013.

Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 61% based on 89 reviews. The site's consensus reads, "Although My Old Lady doesn't quite live up to its stars' talents, Kevin Kline and Maggie Smith carry the film capably whenever they're together onscreen." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 53 out 100 based on reviews from 19 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

John DeFore  of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Kline remains a pleasure to watch, surviving the character's deepening self-pity and making his suspiciously unwriterly carelessness with words (he refers to the trophy head of a wild boar as a "cow") almost charming."
Variety's Andrew Barker gave a mixed review: "Its translation from stage to screen looks to have been a bit rocky, and the film never manages to transcend its actors-workshop aura and develop into something deeper."

title: Blame (Calvin Harris song)

text:
"Blame" is a song by Scottish DJ and record producer Calvin Harris from his fourth studio album, Motion (2014). It was released as the album's third single on 5 September 2014. The song features the vocals of English singer John Newman and is included on the deluxe edition of Newman's second studio album, Revolve. Newman's brother James Newman assisted the artists in writing the song, with Harris serving as the producer.

The song received positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and Newman's vocals. The song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, giving Harris his seventh UK number-one single (and third consecutive) and Newman his third.

Background
John Newman initially approached Calvin Harris via Twitter about collaborating on a song he had worked on. Newman sent a demo with his vocals and a few chords and Harris built the music around it. Newman wrote all the lyrics.

The single and its artwork were announced on Twitter on 8 June 2014. However, a different artwork cover was uploaded onto the iTunes Store as a replacement. "Blame" was originally scheduled for release on 25 August, but was delayed until 7 September.

In August and September 2014, Harris released fifteen-second previews of the track on his Instagram account. John Newman commented on the song: "It will live up to the hype that's been built. I'm very excited about it, I think it's the next step up in my career." The song is written in the key of C minor, at a tempo of 128 beats per minute. Newman's vocal range spans from B3 to  B5.

Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from music critics. Robbie Daw of Idolator praised the song saying: "'Blame' somehow feels fuller and more rounded-out, structurally, than much of [Harris'] other output. Call it a new era for the Scottish producer/DJ." MTV Australia described the song as "hot" and "sure to have the crowd singing loud and proud". Digital Spy's Lewis Corner gave the song a four star rating out of five, commenting: "Luckily for Calvin, everything he touches these days seems to turn more golden than his glowing tan. Guest vocalist John Newman soulfully insists on the surging bridge, before it bursts into one of Calvin's infectious four-to-the-floor choruses. It barely shifts away from the formula that's enabled him to achieve 1 billion Spotify streams, but when it's proving itself that effective, why resign the Midas Touch?"

We Got This Covered gave a positive review, noting that it was "a bit slower and more down tempo than most of his usual stuff" and said "John Newman's soulful vocals go down smoothly as they layer a very catchy melody that soon breaks out into a full-on dance floor hit. Admittedly, it doesn't grab you quite like Summer did, but it's still a great song and one that will surely do very well." Music and Lyrics gave a more nuanced review, writing the song "hasn't honestly hit as hard as 'Summer' did on the first listen, but I'll definitely label it as a 'grower'. Not really feeling John's verses, but he really shines in the let's-go-to-church hook. 'Blame' doesn't have the best Calvin Harris EDM beat I've heard to date, but I can still bop to it."

Commercial performance
"Blame" entered the UK Singles Chart at number one with 70,312 copies sold in its first week, becoming Harris's seventh UK number one and Newman's third. In the United States, the song debuted at number thirty-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated 27 September 2014, peaking at number nineteen on 15 November 2014. The single topped the charts in Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, while charting within the top five in Austria, Germany, Ireland and Italy, and the top ten in Australia, Denmark, France, New Zealand and Spain.

Music video
The music video was directed by Emil Nava and released on 12 September 2014. It was filmed in Los Angeles and London in August 2014. The video begins with both Harris and Newman in separate places in their appropriate houses where they are both on the bed. Newman is watching some models who are seen on a film projector. Meanwhile, the models decided to go to a nightclub where one girl gets drunk while other models split where they fall into a sink, beer cooler, puddle and finally a tub. The video ends with the models ending up in a river where they are freezing and it shows the sky with the sun in the background.

Track listings

 Released on 25 September 2015. First release of "Remixes" in lossless format. Includes the "Extended Version" of "Blame" in addition to the previously released songs found on the original "Remixes" release.

Ngejot refers to the Hindu ritual of giving food to neighbors as a gesture of gratitude, usually during times of celebrations or holidays.

Ngejot is predominantly performed in the province of Bali in Indonesia. The tradition is practiced by the Balinese Hindu community. For Hindus, ngejot is held for Galungan and Nyepi. For Muslims, the tradition is practiced before Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday commemorating the end of Ramadan. The Hindus give food in the form of lawar, an Indonesian pork dish.

The ngejot tradition in India symbolizes inter-religious harmony and the brotherhood between Hindus and Muslims.

title: Spatiospectral scanning

text:
Spatio-spectral scanning is one of four techniques for hyperspectral imaging, the other three being spatial scanning, spectral scanning  and non-scanning, or snapshot hyperspectral imaging.

The technique was designed to put into practice the concept of 'tilted sampling' of the hyperspectral data cube, which had been deemed difficult to achieve. Spatio-spectral scanning yields a series of thin, diagonal slices of the data cube. Figuratively speaking, each acquired image is a 'rainbow-colored' spatial map of the scene. More precisely, each image represents two spatial dimensions, one of which is wavelength-coded. To acquire the spectrum of a given object point, scanning is needed.

Spatio-spectral scanning combines some advantages of spatial and spectral scanning: Depending on the context of application, one can choose between a mobile and a stationary platform. Moreover, each image is a spatial map of the scene, facilitating pointing, focusing, and data analysis. This is particularly valuable for irregular or irretrievable scanning movements. Being based on dispersion, spatio-spectral scanning systems yield high spatial and spectral resolution.

Prototypical system

A prototypical spatio-spectral scanning system, introduced in June 2014, consists of a basic slit spectroscope (slit + dispersive element) at some suitable, non-zero distance before a camera. (If the effective camera distance is zero, the system is applicable to spatial scanning). The imaging process is based on spectrally-decoded camera obscura projections: A series of projections from a continuous array of pinholes (= the slit) is projected onto the dispersive element, each projection contributing a rainbow-colored strip to the recorded two-dimensional image. The field of view in the wavelength-coded spatial dimension asymptotically approaches the dispersion angle of the dispersive element as the camera distance from the dispersive element approaches infinity.
Scanning is achieved by moving the camera transverse to the slit (stationary platform), or by moving the entire system transverse to the slit (mobile platform).

Advanced system

An advanced spatio-spectral scanning system, proposed in June 2014, consists of a dispersive element before a spatial scanning system. (This allows for easy switching between spatial and spatio-spectral scanning). The imaging process is based on spectral analysis of a strip of a dispersed image of the scene. The field of view in the wavelength-coded spatial dimension equals the dispersion angle of the dispersive element. As in the more basic system, scanning is achieved by transverse movement of the slit or by moving the system relative to the scene.
