As of May 2019, the band has gone on an indefinite hiatus. It was also confirmed that they have no plans to disband and will focus on personal projects for the time being.

History

2011 – 2013: Formation, The Sam Willows
The Sam Willows were formed in December 2011 by founding members: Benjamin Kheng, Jonathan Chua, Narelle Kheng, and Sandra Riley Tang.

Barely a year after they formed, the quartet launched their debut EP The Sam Willows under a distribution deal with Warner Music Singapore, and made their international debut in 2013 at the annual South by Southwest music festival in Texas. The band continued on a North American Tour, Korean Tour, and represented Singapore for the Western Australian Music Festival (WAM) in Perth.

In April 2013, the Singaporean quartet entered the studio with Steve Lillywhite for a week-long production session, organized by Singapore Music Society (SG MUSO). The result was a reworking of their track "Glasshouse" and released as the band’s latest single at the time. In August 2013, the band released their "Glasshouse (Lillywhite edition)" music video.

2015 – 2016: Take Heart
The band signed to Sony Music Singapore on a 360 deal in January 2015 and embarked on their journey to Stockholm, Sweden to record their debut album, Take Heart, with producer Harry Sommerdahl the following month.

Take Heart was released later in the year in October 2015, with "Take Heart" as their first official single from the album released in May 2015. The music video for the song was later released in July 2015 and amassed over 1.6 million views on YouTube.

In the same year, the band opened for Irish pop-rock band, The Script, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in April 2015. The Sam Willows also recorded three songs - "Flags Up", "Ordinary" and "Champion", for the compilation album, Songs of the Games for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. To celebrate Singapore's independence, The Sam Willows performed at the National Day Parade 2015 in August 2015, playing one of Singapore's National Day songs, "Home".

In May 2016, the quartet supported Little Mix on their The Get Weird Tour in Manila and Singapore. Following that, the band sold out their first headlining concert in Singapore at The Coliseum.

2017: Making of second album
The Sam Willows released an exclusive compilation album (consisting of 16 songs from their first EP, the Take Heart album and lead single "Keep Me Jealous" from their upcoming second album) in Japan (marketed and distributed by Sony Music Japan), making them the first English performing band from Singapore in recent years to be released by a major international music label in Japan.

In May 2017, The Sam Willows released "Keep Me Jealous", the first official single from their upcoming second album, co-produced by the band themselves and producers Fredrik Häggstam and Litens Anton Nilsson.

On 13 July 2017, the band released their next single, "Save Myself", co-produced with Harry Sommerdahl. "The song talks about how we’re usually the worst lovers to ourselves – we don’t know how to love or save ourselves till it’s too late," member Benjamin Kheng said of the song. The track clinched the 'Best Song' award.

2018: I Know, But Where
On 9 February 2018, the band released two of their singles "Robot" and  "Papa Money" simultaneously. Both tracks took over local airwaves and charted across territories such as Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines.

The initial release of four lead singles ("Keep Me Jealous", "Save Myself", "Papa Money" and "Robot") collectively garnered more than 10 million streams and have each been certified GOLD.

The Sam Willow's 11-track second album I Know, But Where was released on 6 July 2018, making it their second studio album. The album debuted at number 1 on the Singapore iTunes chart on the day of its release and has since found its way into charts around the region like Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Taiwan.

With this album, the band hoped to "present a feel-good and happy version of the things (they) struggle with".

Featured in the line up of We the Fest 2018, The Sam Willows performed on day 2 of the festival. Headliners of the festival included Lorde, Sza, James Bay and more. The band also performed at Southeast Asia's First Esports Music Festival.

title: Dimetcote

text:
Dimetcote is commonly used for steel corrosion resistance. It is generally reliable under humid or corrosive conditions. Because of this, Dimetcote is widely used in ships, power generation facilities, and marine, oil, and offshore structures.

History
The Dimetcote patent was approved in 1948 by the U.S. Patent Office. The owner of the patent is PPG Industries. Dimetcote, which was created to protect the surface of metal, could be coloured by being mixed with other paints.

Type
There are several kinds of Dimetcote, designed for different working environments.
 Dimetcote 21-5
 Dimetcote 3a
 Dimetcote 9H
 Dimetcote 9
 Dimetcote 11
 Dimetcote 302H
 Dimetcote 4

Use

Marine
Dimetcote is popular in the marine industry. The inorganic zinc coating of Dimetcote can protect metal components from moisture.

Construction
Dimetcote is widely used to protect construction steel from corrosion.

Application equipment
Dimetcote should be applied by specific sprays. Here is a list of several suitable items of equipment typically used by manufacturers.

Airless spray
Airless spray equipment used for Dimetcote should have a fluid tip with orifice no smaller than 0.019 inch (0.48), and the minimum level of pump ratio is 28:1. Some standard airless sprays such as Spee-Flo, Graco, Nordson-Bede, and DeVilbiss meet these requirements.

Conventional spray
Some industrial-level sprays (with teflon or leather needle packing, variable speed agitator in pressure pot, separate air and fluid pressure regulators) can also be used for Dimetcote.

Mixer
A powerful mixer is required for Dimetcote. To meet the high pressure requirement, the mixer should be powered by an explosion-proof electric motor or air motor. Workers can attain optimal spray characteristics by adjusting the tip size or pressure of the spray.

Internally, it features a quad-core 1.4 GHz Exynos 3 Quad 3470 (for the SM-G800F, SM-G800M and SM-G800Y) or an equally-clocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 (for SM-G800A, SM-G800H and SM-G800R4) processor with 1.5 GB of RAM (of which approximately 277 MB is reserved for the system), 16 GB of expandable storage, and a 4.5 inch (1280x720 pixel) HD Super AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 326 PPI. The S5 Mini also includes a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second.

The device is claimed to be water resistant despite the exposed USB charging port, while the USB charging port of the Galaxy S5 requires to be covered by a flap to ensure water protection.

Below the screen are three buttons. The physical "Home" button in the centre contains a swipe-based fingerprint reader. The "Recent apps" (or Recent Tasks) and "Back" buttons are capacitive. Like the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 mini no longer has a "Menu" key like its predecessors. It has been replaced with the Recent tasks key.

The Galaxy S5 Mini comes with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and Samsung's TouchWiz software which includes almost all of the features of the S5.

The S5 Mini contains a 2100 mAh, NFC-enabled battery. Its software, like the S5, also contains an "Ultra Power Saving" mode to further extend battery life; when enabled, all non-essential processes are disabled, and the screen switches to only rendering in white on black.  Additional power efficiency features include R2 Semiconductor's envelope tracking to improve power amplifier efficiency thereby decreasing heat and increasing battery life.

title: House of Sickingen

text:
The House of Sickingen is an old southwest German noble family. The lords of Sickingen belonged to the Kraichgau nobility and from 1797 to the Imperial nobility. Significant relatives emerged from the family, who achieved great influence in both spiritual and secular offices. Reinhard von Sickingen was Prince-Bishop of Worms from 1445 to 1482 and Kasimir Anton von Sickingen was Prince-Bishop of Constance from 1743 to 1750. Imperial Knight Franz von Sickingen (1481-1523) was a leader of the Rhenish and Swabian knighthood.

The Sickingen-Sickingen line of the family died out in 1834, and the Sickingen-Hohenburgs in 1932.

Lordship of Landstuhl
The Lordship of Landstuhl was a knightly territory of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in today's Rhineland-Palatinate. Feuded by the Lords of Sickingen from the 16th to the 18th century, it fell to France along with the left bank of the Rhine in 1801 and became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816. The lordship was divided into the "Great Jurisdiction" (Großgericht) and the "Little Jurisdiction" (Kleingericht). Within the Großgericht were the villages of Bann, Harsberg, Hermersberg, Horbach, Kindsbach, Krickenbach, Linden, Queidersbach, Weselberg and Zeselberg. The Kleingericht oversaw the villages of Gerhardsbrunn, Hauptstuhl, Kirchenarnbach, Knopp, Langwieden, Martinshöhe, Mittelbrunn, Mühlbach, Oberarnbach, Obernheim, Scharrhof and Schauerberg,

title: Sorry, You Can't Get Through!

text:
Sorry, You Can't Get Through! () is a 2005 Italian comedy film written and directed by Paolo Genovese and Luca Miniero.

Plot
Walter is a lonely pensioner still full of energy and imagination; convinced by a newspaper article that for every young man who works there is an elderly person who stays at home, Walter decides to go and find this young man, and to help him by hanging around. Helped by little Sara, his only friend and ally, and mocked by a cynical doorkeeper, Walter picks Piero, a tireless but shy worker.

Walter enters Piero's life in an overbearing way, without asking permission; he turns the young man's life upside down but teaches him a new perspective from which to look at himself and the world, as well as techniques to conquer Francesca, Sara's single mother who is disappointed by men, and with whom Piero has fallen in love. Piero first tries to completely change his lifestyle, playing the role of a strong and exuberant man, capable of conquering the woman he loves with a snap of his fingers, but later realizes that this facade causes him suffering rather than joy, even though he has won Francesca's heart. Piero then confesses this to her through a romantic letter.

title: Hollins High School

text:
Hollins High School, formerly known as Dixie M. Hollins High School, is a public secondary school located in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States. The school was opened in 1959 as a vocational school for grades 10–12, but it has since expanded to include 9th grade education. The school has just under 1,800 students.

Its graphic arts program, known as the Academy of Entertainment Arts (AEA), is designated as a center of excellence. The school also offers a program in the culinary arts, which is also designated as a center of excellence. The school also offers Cambridge/AICE curriculum, as well as a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program.

History
When Pinellas County separated from Hillsborough County and became its own entity in 1912, Dixie Martin Hollins was appointed as Superintendent of Pinellas County Schools; he was about twenty-five years old. Hollins was considered progressive for his time, said the school's principal in 2020, Robert Florio, citing his advocacy of equality in education and hiring of graduates from historically black colleges and universities. Hollins promoted the rights of black students to have certified teachers, to attend a full school day, and to attend school for more than just a few months per year. When Hollins High School opened its doors for the first time in the fall of 1959, it was named Northwest High School. Almost immediately the School Board decided to name the new high school after Dixie Hollins. His family owned and operated one of the largest ranches in the state in Citrus County from 1942 until 1992 when all but a small portion was sold upon the death of his son, Maurice L. Hollins. Dixie Hollins donated land for both Madeira Beach Elementary and Middle Schools. His estate continues to provide contributions to Dixie's music program.

In 1971, the school became national news when the campus became embroiled in a community protest against racial integration through forced busing. The unrest had been building for several weeks. When the school decided to ban the use of the Confederate flag, community groups began picketing the school. The unrest broke out into violence on October 12, 1971. When Florida schools mandated kindergarten, Dixie Hollins High School incorporated 9th grade into its curriculum. The school underwent extensive renovations in 1992–1996, adding a two-story science wing, a new media center and cafeteria, an art building, a music building, and upgrading the existing classrooms, the gymnasium, and the vocational wing.

Name and mascot
The school was named after Dixie Martin Hollins. Its original mascot, "the Rebel"—an aged, white-haired colonel—was a play on the relationship between the term "Dixie" and the Confederate States. In 1989, the Rebel was subjected to criticism as a racist symbol, but the student body at the time voted to keep the mascot unchanged.

In 2020, a student group created a petition on Change.org that called for the school's name and mascot to be changed, citing the "Dixie"/Confederacy connection as well as the mascot's resemblance to a Confederate soldier. Following the petition, the school's name was changed from Dixie Hollins High School to Hollins High School, and the "Rebels" moniker used for the school's athletic teams was changed to "Royals".

title: Døtreskolen af 1791

text:
Døtreskolen af 1791 ("Daughter School of 1791") was a girls' school active in Copenhagen, Denmark from 1791 until 1899. It is considered one of the first schools in Denmark  to give secondary education to females.
 Several well known people were students at Døtreskolen, including the educational pioneer Annestine Beyer.

History

The school was founded on 12 September 1791. The first serious secondary school for girls (as opposed to finishing schools) in Copenhagen had been J. Cl. Todes Døtreskole, founded in 1787, but the parents had been so discontented with it that they had closed it down in 1791 by removing their daughters from it.

The parents of the former students of the closed school, belonging principally to the Copenhagen merchant class, formed a society which started the Døtreskolen af 1791.  The students were given education in scientific subjects after the pattern of boys' schools, which made it a pioneer institution.

Until the 1840s, when a large number of secondary girls' schools were founded in Denmark, there were only three schools in Copenhagen to provide secondary education to females, of which this was the oldest.

In 1846 another pioneer institution for women's education in Denmark, the Den højere Dannelsesanstalt for Damer, was founded in the same building and shared localities with the school for the first period of its existence.

Location
The school was based at Østergade matr No. 34 (same building as  Efterslægtselskabet) in 1794. In 1839-43, it was based at Store Købmagergade 53 in Frimand's Quarter. In 1844-49, it was based at Pilestræde No. 84 in  Købmager Quarter. In 1850-52, it was based at Borgergade in St. Ann's West Quarter. In 1853-68, it was based at Vingårdsstræde No. 133 in the East Quarter.

title: Internet Revolution Egypt

text:
Internet Revolution Egypt (IRE for short) is an Egyptian cyber-protest against the internet services provided in Egypt on which Telecom Egypt has monopoly. The main Facebook page has about 1 million followers and continues to expand. This significant expansion resulted in a widespread media attention. It claims to have no relation to politics in response to some media accusations. The slogan used is "الأنترنت عندنا في مصر; غالي جدا , بطئ ببشاعة .. خدمة عملاء زي الزفت" which means "The internet services in Egypt; are very expensive, very slow .. The customer service is terrible". It mainly takes place on Facebook through a page created by a few Egyptian youngsters. Some activity is also seen on Twitter. The most popular age group of the protest is the 18-24 group.

Causes
 Price exaggeration of offered services in comparison with international benchmarks.
 Deterioration of the local infrastructure and no tangible attempt to upgrade it or even upgrade communication towers Resulting in continuous interruptions of the customers' internet connections.
 Speeds sold by the ISP do not meet what customers actually get on the ground.
 Unbecoming customer service.
 Telecom Egypt's monopoly on landlines.

History
in December 2013, A creator by the name of "Omar Wahid" launched a youtube video that sparked the movement, the video goes by the title "فضيحة الانترنت فى مصر وصوت المصلحة" on his channel that goes by the name "HardMode GearHead"

In February 2014, they met with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to present their demands, but negotiations were unsuccessful.

After a year of movements on social media, they met with the Minister of Communications and presented their demands to him, and in the end, a large part of their demands was implemented.

Demands

 Reducing Prices to align with international benchmarks
 Reassigning the minimum offered speed to 8 Mbit/s for 60 EGP instead of 512 kbit/s for 95 EGP
 Having all lines work on a 1/1 basis; upload speed is equal to download speed
 Upgrading nationwide communication centres
 Removing the Fair Usage Policy
 Improving Technical and Customer Support to Individuals of Comprehension
 Implementation of the Fibre Optic technology
 Government Surveillance over all ISPs and their respective retailers
 A service of complaints under the authority of solely the government excluding any ISP intervention in this service
 Increasing the speed to 4 Mbit/s for all subscribers as a gesture of goodwill till the planned implementation of Fibre Optics in 2015
 Extending land lines to the whole nation
 Local Maintenance team in every city

As of 1 April 2014 new escalated demands were added as a result of the hubris of ISPs and NTRA and their lack of effort to see any demands accomplished.
 Resignation of the Minister Of Telecommunications, and any responsible figure for bad internet in Egypt including NTRA and Telecom Egypt Officials

Actions

The first requested action was to print and post fliers (pictured). It contains the protest's demands. The page also asked people to photograph themselves with the prints and send their picture to the page for sharing them to boost Morale.

In Response to a request of support, Bassem Youssef, a famous Egyptian satirist, criticized the Egyptian ISP companies for their low quality service in his following episode of his weekly famous show El Bernameg as a gesture of his support to the IRE.

It was suggested to make a street protest but the idea was rejected due to the possible dangers and eradicate suspicions of any ties to political propaganda who might use the protest for their benefit.

On 20 February 2014, The page warned to take escalating measures against the ISPs if their demands are not met within a week.

Followers have contributed many ideas for a viable course of action against the companies like ceasing payment, street protests, attempting to attract foreign ISP investors to stimulate competition and other ideas.

On 26 February 2014, The Facebook page said that ISPs took no action and didn't respond to any of the revolution's demands within their 1-week time limit therefore they were to proceed with escalated procedures. The page asked from followers to pay their subscriptions in terms of coins (whole or half or even quarters of Egyptian pounds). They mentioned that this action is totally legal, therefore if this form of payment was to be refused then subscribers are entitled to take legal action as the law states that it is illegal for anyone to reject dealing with metal coins as coins are official recognised currency. They said that they're trying to "make them hate their lives as they made us hate ours" (نعرفهم في عيشتهم زي ماقرفونا).

On the same date they also asked people to cancel any special offers they are subscribed to and subscribe to the minimum offered speed (512 kbit/s) and share their internet connection with their neighbours in an attempt to affect the companies' revenue and make them lose as much profit as possible. They also asked members to file complaints at the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) regarding the issue. The IRE stressed about the importance of this procedure as it is the first step to prove the credibility of the movement.

On a Later date, IRE said they were to have a meeting with NTRA officials. After the meeting NTRA responded by issuing a statement of their future plans to improve internet services. However their statement was regarded as vague and misleading.
After a week IRE had a meeting with ISP representatives sponsored by NTRA, IRE said that that ISPS told them that they have no plans to change internet pricing but they might update some limited offers to satisfy customers. However ISPs showed no intention to give any media statement.
IRE then assigned a time limit till April 1 for ISPs and NTRA to bring their promises into action buy nothing happened, so escalated demands were announced (see demands).

title: PSR J0738−4042

text:
PSR J0738−4042 is the first pulsar observed to have been affected by asteroids.

It was originally discovered in 1968. In 2013 scientists at the University of Oxford, Hartebeesthoek Observatory and CSIRO announced that they had observed changes in the pulsar's spin rate and the shape of its radio pulse indicating that asteroids were encountering it, including one with a mass of about a billion tons.

The scientists suggested that the material blown out from the explosion which formed the pulsar could have fallen back towards it, developing a disk of debris including asteroids.

title: The Minister of Chance

text:
The Minister of Chance is a fantasy multi-media series created by Dan Freeman and Radio Static. It is a spin-off of the Doctor Who webcast Death Comes to Time, where the titular character first appeared, portrayed by Stephen Fry. Stars of the audio drama series included Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann and Jenny Agutter.

In 2014 a live action short was filmed based on The Prologue of the audio series, starring Paul McGann and Tim McInnerny, was released. It was funded by the series' international fanbase. Soon after the release, a Kickstarter campaign began in the hope of securing funding for episode one of a Minister of Chance movie.

Novel (2022)

Synopsis
“I know the formula for doors,” says the Minister, vanishing through the one he has just created in mid air. Teenage barmaid Kitty isn’t the sort to be dismissed easily, though. Armed only with her bad attitude, foul mouth and mysterious strength, she follows him through the glowing doorway, onto the frost bridge between worlds, and into adventure.
