I was told the above sentence by my co-worker during a conversation about music, and her husband's similar behaviour also came up as example. No other statement has ever been truer than that – especially nowadays.
Fact: the rock/emo/alternative scene was thriving 10 years ago. Now, we have a new generation of young music enthusiasts, who are growing up on the music of today, while also going back to the music of the past decades.
What My Chemical Romance, pre-hiatus Fall Out Boy, original Panic! At The Disco, old-school Paramore, Green Day's 'American Idiot', etc. were for us twenty-somethings, Halsey, Twenty One Pilots, and 5 Seconds of Summer are for today's youth (they seem to be the issue namely), among others who fit more into the "criteria". Lyrics is where alternativeness comes from in this case, and they are popping up everywhere online, so no one can deny their influence – that's why magazines have to go with the flow even if the sound is more pop, in favour of actually selling copies. Paramore and FOB aren't rock either yet still get coverage (Editor's note: I still think Paramore are 'rock'…). It's all okay, until they keep giving publicity to smaller, up and coming rock bands as well.
As I see it, The Scene as it is cannot be described with one genre only. If that were the case, I wouldn't belong anywhere. Genres are overlapping each other on my playlists – I like old Bring Me The Horizon, but I also love the new sound. I can rock out to Beartooth or FIDLAR, but I also love fooling around to The 1975, or chilling out to CHVRCHES and Oh Wonder. I'm sure, many people are in the same situation. Influences do not come from just one place, especially for artists. This is why I rather have everything under one roof about what music is today for each individual, than divide subjects into separate groups based on the type of things they like. "Music is not about the scene but about what is heard" after all, as told by my dear friend and fellow writer, Tina Roumeliotis. I wish more people realized it.

Lost and found: how a jungle trek led to first photo of fearless, fluffy-cheeked monkey
Graeme Green
8 December 2022, 11:00 am ·4-min read
"They have a nice black eyebrow, but I especially liked the fluffy white hairs on their cheeks." For Congolese primatologist Gaël Elie Gnondo Gobolo, seeing Bouvier's red colobus monkey (Piliocolobus bouvieri) for the first time "was an unexpected moment, like being in a dream".
No one knew the monkey still existed in the Republic of the Congo. Assessments for the IUCN in 2008 and 2016 classified it as critically endangered, with a note saying it was "possibly extinct". There had been no recorded sightings since the 1970s until Lieven Devreese, a primatologist from Belgium, led a two-month expedition in 2015. Gnondo Gobolo was a biology student at Marien Ngouabi University in Brazzaville, Congo's capital, at the time and accompanied him.
Devreese hoped not only to find the Bouvier's red colobus but also to take the first photograph of the species. The expedition, with financial support from four European organisations (Primate Conservation Inc, GaiaZOO, Apenheul, and La Vallée des Singes), headed to northern Congo and the 457,200-hectare (1,130,000-acre) Ntokou-Pikounda national park.
Scientists estimate that there are more than eight million different forms of life on Earth – but one million of those are thought to be threatened with extinction and many more have died out over the course of history.
Some plants and animals are lost and never seen again. But some reappear years later, often thanks to the efforts of scientists and conservationists working in the field.
This series celebrates those rare moments of hope when life clings on against the odds – and highlights the crucial work being done to preserve the planet's extraordinary biodiversity.
"It took us a day travelling down the river to reach the village of Ntokou, where we got permission to enter the forest and found a team of local Mbendjele trackers and eco-guards who know the area," says Devreese. "To enter the park, we travelled for a day in a pirogue up the Bokiba River. Because it was near the end of the rainy season, the river had inundated large tracts of forest. We had to wade through waist-deep mud and cross a swamp covered with spiny raffia palm leaves.
"One of the teams of Mbendjele people found the monkeys and came back to alert us. It took 45 minutes of walking through virgin rainforest at high speed to get to the location, hoping the tracker who stayed with the monkeys hadn't lost sight of them.
"It was very intense and exhausting, tackling all kinds of stinging lianas, not to mention the heat and lack of water, because we'd only planned to be out in the forest until noon. I felt great relief when I heard the chattering of the red colobus monkeys nearby. Then we saw an adult female with an infant clinging to her belly through an opening in the canopy. Finding them was a special experience."
The team observed about 20 monkeys in the lower canopy. "Being able to take the first photograph of this species was proof that there's still much to learn and discover in these forests," says Devreese.

The monkeys made a big impression on Gnondo Gobolo, who is now a community assistant in Ntokou-Pikounda park.
"There are 18 different species of red colobus monkey, of which the Bouvier's red colobus have beautiful black hands and feet," he says.
"I'll always remember their curious behaviour when we found them in the forest. We were able to observe them for almost an hour, and at one point an adult female with her infant that we had in our view closed her eyes to take a quick nap. Unfortunately, this fearless behaviour towards people poses a serious threat to them."
Since the rediscovery, Bouvier's red colobus has been reclassified as endangered. Proof they still exist has aided conservation efforts, with WWF and the government of the Republic of the Congo agreeing to co-manage Ntokou-Pikounda park.
"The joint WWF-government team works with Indigenous people and local communities to manage this exceptional expanse of tropical rainforest," says park director Victor Mbolo.
Seeing such solid results from the rediscovery is the reward for days wading through swamps, says Gnondo Gobolo. "I feel profoundly happy to have contributed to the success of the mission. These monkeys require special protection. For me, they represent the pride of Congolese biodiversity and Ntokou-Pikounda park."

Hugh Sellars, Stuart Anderson, Richard Yoxall and Ianthe Edgeley recently completed Wainwright's famous 190-mile, coast-to-coast walk connecting three National Parks — the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Experts voted it the second best long-distance walk in the world (after one in New Zealand).
They commented: "Over a period of 12 days' walking, we were able to enjoy a good variety of picturesque scenery and amazing views — except when our outlook was obscured by mist or heavy hail. Furthermore, we were very grateful to those who sponsored us, helping us to raise over £1,500 for Cancer Research UK.


Washington D.C. [USA], Nov 7 : Art therapy is helpful in treating patients with severe or moderately severe depression, shows research at Sahlgrenska academy.
The findings suggest when patients discuss their paintings with the therapist, it promotes self reflection and brain stimulation that takes place outside of the conscious mind.
Create a picture of how you are feeling on this particular day, said the first exercise in the art therapy. After ten treatments the patients who suffered from severe or moderately severe depression had shown more improvement than the patients in the control group, shows the research.
After ten hour-long treatment sessions, the patients had improved on an average of almost five steps on a rating scale used for depression. A large leap that entails a considerable change to everyday life, and sometimes it may also mean that a patient is able to return to work.

Infant Dies after Receiving "Laughing Gas" at Sydney Hospital
In a heart-breaking error at a Sydney hospital, a newborn has died and another is in critical condition with serious brain injuries after nitrous oxide was incorrectly administered shortly after birth. An installation error by gas company BOC Limited was to blame for dispensing "laughing gas" instead of oxygen to the infants—however, a formal investigation has been called into whether or not hospital staff followed proper protocol that may have identified the problem sooner. The gas line was installed last year, in 2015.

Picking up from the end stinger of "The Addams Family", "Addams Family Values" sets out to expand the Addams clan with the addition of a new baby and all that a new arrival entails, with a suitably impious twist, of course. After several of Wednesday and Pugsley's failed attempts to murder the new baby, Gomez … Continue reading Addams Family Values (1993) #MonthOfSpooks Review

Last Action Hero (1993) 25th Anniversary Review
Posted on July 30, 2018 July 29, 2018 by The Craggus
Perennially underrated, often unfairly maligned (even by Schwarzenegger himself) as his first real failure, ironic action movie masterpiece "Last Action Hero" is twenty-five years old this year and way overdue for a reappraisal. Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) prefers the movies to the trials and tribulations of real life, especially the adventures of his all-time favourite … Continue reading Last Action Hero (1993) 25th Anniversary Review

Cliffhanger (1993) 25th Anniversary Review
Celebrating its UK release's 25th Anniversary, "Cliffhanger" saw Sylvester Stallone return to the genre which had nurtured him after the critical and artistic losing streak which started with "Rocky V" and hit rock bottom with "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot". Teaming up with action director for hire Renny Harlin, Stallone delivered a stripped-back high … Continue reading Cliffhanger (1993) 25th Anniversary Review

25 years ago, on 3rd January 1993, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" made its TV debut in America. It wouldn't reach UK TV screens until 22nd August later that year.

Dave (1993) Review
A sly and sparky twist on the age old tale of 'The Prince And The Pauper', "Dave" delivers a delightfully upbeat moral fable as a corrupt and callous leader is replaced by 'an ordinary joe'.

Craggus' Christmas Countdown Day 5: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Posted on December 5, 2014 November 29, 2018 by The Craggus
It was a bit of a coin toss as to whether I included this in the countdown. Is it a Christmas film about Halloween or a Halloween film about Christmas? Tricky one, but I decided it qualifies as a Christmas film as it's ultimately about Jack Skellington discovering 'the true meaning of Christmas'. Way back … Continue reading Craggus' Christmas Countdown Day 5: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Your Dose Of Disruptive Tech For This Week !
Techstory· May 1, 2016
As a part of the tech in Techstory, we bring you the latest in the technology from around the world under "TECH THIS WEEK!" every Sunday! This week we saw the 360 degree view of the SpaceX landing in YouTube and Twitter killing off one of its most useful account. We also saw Google Brain's team going to work in TensorFlow and Microsoft letting Flow compete with IFTTT. In case, if you've missed any of those, along with how Puma's latest robot is going to help you in beating Usain Bolt's record, don't worry just keep reading!
Twitter just killed off the most useful Twitter account
So much happens on Twitter that it can be impossible to keep track of, even if you're staring at it for hours a day. That's what made MagicRecs so useful. It was an account Twitter created that sent you custom alerts based on the people you had chosen to follow. If 10 of them all followed the same person suddenly, MagicRecs would send you a direct message with the name of the account and which of your friends followed it. If a bunch of your friends all retweeted the same tweet, MagicRecs would let you know about that, too. Anyway, MagicRecs is dead now, TechCrunch reports. This makes me sad!
MagicRecs were born in the spring of 2013, a period of truly glacial product development at Twitter. It was a time when the ability to upload a second photo with your tweet qualified as big news. (Just kidding — that feature didn't arrive until 2014.) And so it was very exciting when, simply by following an account — a bot account, no less! — you could meaningfully improve your Twitter experience. It was so powerful that organizations had to tell people not to follow high-profile new employees before the news became public, lest MagicRecs blow their cover. Some 112,000 people followed MagicRecs in the years that followed, and no one ever criticized it, because it was perfect. Twitter even tried to take it a step further with EventParrot, an account that offered to DM you breaking news. (It never worked quite as well, and was abandoned long ago, and no one cared.)
In the fall of 2013, Twitter said it would use what it learned from MagicRecs to improve push notifications, essentially integrating it into the main app. Three years later, this is Twitter's excuse for killing off MagicRecs. "Recommendations that were previously shared via direct message are now delivered via push notification," the company told me in an email. "Users can control recommendation notifications in their mobile notification settings."
MagicRecs stopped sending me notifications in February. When I asked Twitter about it at the time, the company told me MagicRecs were still active. But I never received another message, and despite having every mobile notification switched to "on," I've never gotten a MagicRecs-style push notification in the app, either. (Twitter tells me this may be a bug.) It's a shame. Twitter is as hard to follow as ever, and the one useful bot in my life is now dead.

DeepMind AI Group Moves to TensorFlow
Google's DeepMind artificial intelligence (AI) research group today announced that for all future research it will use TensorFlow, a machine learning library that Google open-sourced last year, instead of Torch, an older framework.
The move suggests that some of Google's brightest AI minds are convinced of the promise of Google's own open source software; TensorFlow is now good enough for DeepMind.
"We believe that TensorFlow will enable us to execute our ambitious research goals at much larger scale and an even faster pace, providing us with a unique opportunity to further accelerate our research programme," Koray Kavukcuoglu, a research scientist at Google DeepMind and one of Torch's core contributors, wrote in a blog post.
This is important because of DeepMind's considerable capabilities — earlier this year its AlphaGo AI player of the ancient Chinese board game Go beat top-ranked Go player Lee Sedol.
To be sure, DeepMind is not Google's only AI research unit. Google also has the larger Google Brain team.
In a letter to Alphabet shareholders yesterday, Google chief executive Sundar Pichai played up the importance of AI. "We've been building the best AI team and tools for years, and recent breakthroughs will allow us to do even more," Pichai wrote.
There are several other open-source deep learning frameworks to choose from, but it would only be right for Google's internal groups to gradually align with its own open source tooling.
"Our transition to TensorFlow represents a new chapter, and I feel very excited about the prospect of DeepMind contributing heavily to another great open source machine learning platform that everyone can use to advance the state-of-the-art," Kavukcuoglu wrote.
Google said earlier this month that TensorFlow could now support training across multiple machines, not just one.

Puma's got a tiny racing robot that can move as fast as Usain Bolt
Its story is that of an epic battle. Mankind versus machine in a race for dominance. Only one can win.
In practice, thankfully, it's much, much more adorable. A four-wheeled robot that looks remarkably like an RC car
crossbred with a shoebox , programmed to give athletes something to race against. A sort of free-roaming robotic rabbit to their inner-greyhound.
BeatBot was created for Puma by the J. Walter Thompson ad agency — and a bunch of MIT engineers. The sporty little robot has nine built-in infrared sensors designed to follow the lines of a race track as it zips along at a pre-determined pace.
The 'bot is capable of hitting Usain Bolt levels of speed, but runners can slow it down via a mobile app in hopes of actually having a chance against the little box, which monitors the revolution of its wheels to figure out how fast it's going. The BeatBot also sports front- and rear-facing GoPro cameras and LED lights on its tail for easier viewing after it leaves a runner in the dust.
For now, the shoe company is only making the BeatBot available to its own athletes (such as the aforementioned Bolt), but there are plans to introduce it to a number of athletic programs later this year.

Microsoft Launching Flow to Compete With IFTTT
Microsoft is preparing to launch a new tool, which it says "makes it easy to mash-up two or more different services". Microsoft Flow is described by the company as "a service for automating workflow across the growing number of apps and SaaS services that business users rely on".
Flow is similar in concept to IFTTT ('If This Then That'), which allows users to create 'recipes' to automate tasks triggered by predefined events, changes or actions on web services. For example, you could set up a recipe that automatically sends you an email whenever a particular person posts something on Facebook.
Flow connects all of your cloud services – including Slack, GitHub, Twitter, and Google Drive – together in new and novel ways.
Flow is based on a tool originally introduced alongside Microsoft PowerApps last November as a closed preview. But once it's officially announced, whenever that is, it'll be free and open to everyone, so maybe give it a shot. If nothing else, it's a great sign of Microsoft's continued willingness to work with outside companies.

SpaceX releases 360-degree video of its Falcon 9 rocket landing on an ocean platform
Earlier this month, SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 rocket on a platform out at sea. And while you may have watched it live, being there is just another experience. That's why the company released a 360-degree video both onYouTube and Facebook that lets fans witness this historic landing as if they were right there.
When viewed either on the browser, phone, or even using your virtual reality headset, the 360-degree video gives you a front-row seat as the camera is nicely positioned just feet away from where the rocket eventually lands. You can hear the roar of the engines as it touches down on the platform.
The fourth time was the charm for the firm started by Elon Musk. It came close before but unfortunately the reusable rocket wasn't able to touch down on a moving platform in the ocean. It was successful on land at Cape Canaveral, of course, but the water made things more complicated.

Everyone knows how important the cardiovascular system is to health, and we all know that taking care of the heart promotes the best possible health outcomes for ourselves and others. Yet heart disease reigns supreme as the number-one cause of death worldwide, particularly in the Western world. The American Heart Association suggests that up to one-third of Americans have cardiovascular disease — a number repeated in other Western countries. And, as I suggest in Chapter 4, cardiovascular disease is becoming the number-one cause of death in the developing world, as well.

BISHOP'S CORNER
Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau
Parish profile: St. John by the Sea, Klawock
EDITOR'S PICKS, FEATURED
By Cathy Bolling
St. John by the Sea Parish, Klawock
Saint John by the Sea Parish in Klawock serves the Catholic community on Prince of Wales Island, home to about 4,000 residents. Prince of Wales was named a mission in 1925 by Bishop Joseph Crimont. Bishop Michael Kenny appointed full-time ministers in 1983, and in 1992, he blessed and dedicated the new church and parish, built by parishioners. In 2000, parishioners added more living quarters, classrooms, office space and a social hall.
Many features of our church speak to local tradition and have been crafted using local resources. Our baptismal font is made from a large wood burl. Travelers along the busy Craig-Klawock Highway can see the church's beautiful stained-glass cross between stained-glass windows of an eagle and raven, which represent the area's Native heritage in a Christian context. The sanctuary is decorated with fine cloths hand-sewn by a parishioner and altar furniture hand-crafted by another parishioner.
This parish of about 40 active families is a small but close one, including second generations of parishioners raising their children in the Catholic tradition as they were raised. We welcome all visitors, including our regular summer residents.
In addition to our Sunday and daily liturgies celebrated by Fr. Augustine Minn of the Korean Missionary Society, our parishioners share in Sunday Rosary, First Saturday Mass and Eucharistic Adoration, and an active religious education program. When in full operation, we also enjoy weekly hospitality and once-a-month pancake breakfasts. In the greater community, Saint John's is known for the Blessing of the Fishing Fleet in spring, a lively St. Patrick's Day dinner and concert in March, and a benefit Christmas concert for a local aid organization. On the edge of the parking lot is the parish's Little Free Pantry, a small food locker stocked by parishioners, accessible to anyone on the island. Again, when in full operation, the parish hall serves as a meeting place for outside groups, from quilters to preschoolers and local companies needing training and gathering space.

Pope Francis names Bishop Andrew Bellisario, C.M. Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau
Advent: A season of hope

The holiday season is all about spending time with family and friends, and eating delicious food, of course! It's crunch-time to get everything ready for the big day and these are a few of my favorite "fake-out" recipes that are simplified to make your Thanksgiving prepping stress-free!
For this recipe all you do is add chopped-up pears and dried cherries to your store-bought stuffing. From there, you're pretty much good to go!
Place cherries into a small bowl. Pour hot water over top to rehydrate. Let sit for 10 minutes and drain.
In a large bowl, mix the rehydrated cherries and diced pears with the stuffing mix, melted butter and turkey stock. Pour out into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish and place into oven. Cook for 40 minutes or until browned on top.
If you're a fan of canned or cracked cranberries, that's fine, but I recommend trying a cranberry relish this Thanksgiving due to its insanely delicious, tart-y taste. As an added bonus: You don't even have to turn the stove on to make it, plus you can whip it up days in advance!
Grate the zest from the orange and set aside. Cut off any remaining pith from the orange. Cut the orange into chunks.
In a food processor, combine cranberries, orange chunks, orange zest, apple and celery, and process until finely chopped. Be careful not to process it too long because mixture will become mushy.
Add the walnuts and pulse until chopped. Stir in the sugar and orange liqueur. Refrigerate until serving time.
When fall rolls around, everyone and their mother lines up to get their long-awaited Pumpkin Spice Latte. Now, you can have it in your whipped cream! Take your normal whipped cream, mix in some instant espresso, and voila! You've just made the best dessert ever.
In a stand mixer, whip heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add in sugar, salt and espresso powder. Whip until combined.
Top the pumpkin pie with the espresso whipped cream.
Here's a fun way to jazz up your bread basket by adding a salty and sweet taste with a real citrus pop. The end result will make your bread taste like the cornbread you typically buy at the supermarket.
In a stand mixer, mix all ingredients. Put into a ramekin and place into the fridge to set until you're ready to serve.
Serve with biscuits, cornbread or dinner rolls.
This fake-out takes your ordinary, premade stuffing and adds a little something special to it. The kale factor adds an especially fun flavor, as it stays green in color and keeps that crunchy taste well after you've cooked it.
Heat olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Once the oil is hot, add mushrooms and brown, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Once mushrooms are brown, add the kale, in batches if necessary, with a splash of stock. Cook kale to wilt. Season with salt and pepper.
Once cooked, add in the box of stuffing mix, melted butter and turkey stock. Stir to combine. Put mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish and place into oven. Cook for 40 minutes or until browned on top.

Q: Use of Facebook "user_photos" permission We are currently working on a project which aims to minimize fraud in our e-commerce platform. In particular we seek to avoid fraud of users with multiple accounts (same human behind those accounts).
To address this problem we are designing a mechanism intended to verify the identity of users who have multiple accounts. This mechanism will apply only to users with risky behavior within our platform.
The mechanism consists on asking the user to connect with his Facebook account and grant certain permissions to our application, which allow us to verify the veracity of his account.
We will require the following:

*

*That his account has more than 50 friends.

*That his account has activity over 6 months ago.

*That the user can correctly identify the face of 5 friends. (similar to Facebook Social Captcha)
To achieve this our Facebook application needs the following permissions:

*

*user_friends

*email

*user_photos (requires review of the application)
We do not want to start developing this mechanism without being sure that Facebook will approve "user_photos" permission.
So, our questions are:

*

*Is it possible to use the information in this way?

*Are we going against Facebook policies by doing this?

*Is there any way to ensure that Facebook will approve those permissions to our application before starting development?

Thank you very much.

A: You can only access those friends which also use your application. It's no longer possible to get all friends since the introduction of the Graph API v2.0. Why you'd need the user_photos permission. You can request the profile picture of a user's friends without this permission:
GET /me?fields=id,name,friends{id,name,picture}

See

*

*https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_0_graph_api

The /me/friends endpoint no longer includes the full list of a person's friends. Instead, it now returns the list of that person's friends who are also using your app.

A: You can view the actual platform policy here. I don't think there is a policy against it but the design won't allow you to implement it.
https://developers.facebook.com/policy
The fields that you can actually query are visible here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/
As you can see the account creation time is not available to be queried. Hope this helps.
Finally, Facebook does make an effort to remove fake accounts so connecting your Facebook account it is a signal of the user being real.

Marvel's Black Panther Has Officially Found Its Director
After months of speculation, Marvel has finally put its seal on the deal and confirmed its director for Black Panther.
And lo, the rumours were true: Fruitvale Station and Creed director Ryan Coogler will helm the Phase III pic, which will feature Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, a.k.a. T'Challa, a character expected to make his kickass debut in Captain America: Civil War this May.
The studio confirmed the news on Monday, with exec Kevin Feige praising the talents of the lauded writer-director.
OFFICIAL: Ryan Coogler to direct Marvel's #BlackPanther! https://t.co/x9WYGXbjwS pic.twitter.com/JUvZEgVAUf
— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) January 12, 2016
"We are fortunate to have such an esteemed filmmaker join the Marvel family," Feige said. "The talents Ryan showcased in his first two films easily made him our top choice to direct Black Panther. Many fans have waited a long time to see Black Panther in his own film, and with Ryan we know we've found the perfect director to bring T'Challa's story to life."
Black Panther is slated to hit theaters February 16, 2018.

Lomma Municipality
(31 December 2010)[1]
Lomma (Swedish pronunciation: [ˇlʊmːa])[2] is a locality and the seat of Lomma Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 10,837 inhabitants in 2010.[1] Lomma is a coastal settlement that lies directly west of Lund and north of Malmö.
2 Sports
Lomma was mentioned in a deed of Cnut the great under the name Lumaby in the year 1085. Skåne's cultural centre at the time was the plains surrounding Lund and Dalby known as Lundaslätten. Lomma was a natural port for customs, shipping and trade, owing to its location at the mouth of the river Höje å, which was the main transport link via to Uppåkra, Lund, Heddinge (now named Kyrkheddinge) and Dalby. Lomma had city status at this time, though it subsequently lost it in favour of Malmö. Until the construction of a bridge across the Höje å in 1682, there was a ferry across the river.
By 1682 there was already a brickworks in Lomma, but the settlement grew after Frans Henrik Kockum founded a brickworks -- at that time one of Sweden's largest -- in Lomma in 1854. It produced over 2.5 million bricks which lead to the expansion of the harbour, since the sea was the natural means for onward transport.
The soil round Lomma, in addition to being suitable for brick-making, could also be used for cement production. Skånska Cement AB was founded in 1871 and, beginning the following year, manufacturered Portland cement in Lomma. The lime, a key ingredient in cement, was sourced in part from Saltholm. Brick and mortar production were seasonal work and at most 350 people worked at the cement factory during the summer season. There was additionally an asbestos cement factory, known as Lomma Eternit, which closed in 1977 after workers became ill following exposure to asbestos.

Expect fun and high energy classes that will help you dance with flow and ease, lead with clarity and follow with grace and pleasure. You will learn beautiful and dynamic moves, from small to big, ready for the social and sometimes crowded dance floor (see video below).
Colleen and Uwe will address partner connection and pleasant styling. Uwe's simple and short Physics of Dance demonstrations will show you helpful concepts for your waltz, foxtrot, swing, salsa, and more! Colleen will give you simple tools that will make your following and styling flow.
There is plenty of parking available just outside the door. Come early to sign in, change shoes, stretch, warm up, etc.
A) 10:00am-12:00pm WALTZ A: "FUNdamentals -- Easy Flow"
Bring your lunch, or order lunch with us at China Harbor. Relax & refuel!
B) 1:00 - 3:00pm WALTZ B: "Instructor's Favorite Moves & Combos"
C) 3:15 - 5:15pm: Foxtrot into Swing: "Glide with Comfort & Natural Ease at all Speeds"
Learn this universal, fun & foxy dance, and how to blend it into your swing.
Learn Foxtrot variation to adjust to speed, plus dance to great music!
Many of you know us and know that we LOVE Waltz. We teach it at 4 levels, pretty much throughout the year, and still can't get enough of it, and keep developing new skills and types of moves. We've got plenty to share and want to give you the BEST. More focus on making fun moves flow on the social dance floor, since we want you to own it and bring it alive on the floor.
We will focus on Foxtrot with SSQQ, SQQ, SSS and QQQ rhythms. This covers the whole range, and gets you dancing with comfort and smoothness for any flavor of music and speeds from 70 to above 200 bpm. No more rushing or crawling through faster or slower songs, respectively. The keys are the transitions and how to lead and follow them. This is not easy, but can be done, and serves as a great tool for enhancing follow and lead skills for any dance. We will guide you through this. We have great classes with this, and dancers are using it on the PDX floors. You will move along and might even sing along. Lots of smiles guaranteed.
You should be comfortable with Single Time Swing!
We will address Single, Double, and Triple Time Swing, with some useful tips to efficiently move within these Swing dances, as well as how to merge them with your new Foxtrot skills. This gives you a chance on the social dance floor to safely add small portions of Foxtrot into your Swing, until your and your partner's comfort level naturally increases to dance Foxtrot for an entire song.
Pre-registration is highly encouraged to maintain lead/follow balance. You can pay online by Visa or PayPal, or by cash or check at the door.
Uwe & Colleen here. We are VERY EXCITED to return to Seattle for our once a year workshop with you! It has been a wonderful year of teaching in Portland, with great classes and happy students. We have hit sweet spots with our approach to Swing and Foxtrot, as well as Salsa, and our Waltz classes help more and more students to increase the quality in their dancing. We see lots of smiles and nice dancing in all classes.

Q: Gnome, KDE, XFCE... which is most simple and customizable? This'll be my first Linux install, so I've never had to choose between a desktop environment (I come from OS X) -- forgive me if I'm not fully literate on where exactly the OS ends and the desktop manager begins.
My needs are:

*

*Customizability (I like my work environment to look and function a particular way) -- especially being able to move and organise windows using keyboard commands and shortcuts.

*Simplicity: I like as little real estate to be taken up by graphical widgets and toolbars as possible (as I said, I tend to avoid the mouse). If it were up to me, windows would just show content, not even a scrollbar.

*Performance: I hear Gnome can be slow and bloated. Is this the case?
I will be using the environment as an IDE. I was going to go with Arch at first, but not having that much time on my hands, it looked pretty daunting. Fedora looks like a good choice too.

*

*Side question: just how much does one's choice of windows manager affect
which applications one can run?

A: I know how you feel; I tried so many different distros before getting a feel for the differences, and I continue to try new ones, usually in a virtual machine or a spare partition.
I don't really find Gnome to be slow and bloated, but I'm not too happy with the direction it's gone recently with the Gnome 3 shell.  Gnome is fairly simple compared to KDE, but not nearly as customizable, and it's getting less customizable, it seems.
I find KDE to be overkill, and I've never spent enough time to feel comfortable with it.  It has lots of options, widgets, etc, and of course, some people love it for that.  KDE may also have the most variety of (native) apps available, but I haven't used it enough to really know.
From your post, i think you should look at XFCE.  It's the least bloated of the mostly full-featured environments, without a lot of extras.  It will run most of the same things that Gnome runs, as it uses the same GTK toolkit, I think.
However, it's possible to run KDE apps using Gnome, etc, buy you need to also install whatever supporting libraries, etc are required for them.  A lot of people don't like to do this, but if you have plenty of disk space, it's probably fine.
Being new, I'd recommend sticking to a mainstream distro like Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc, as 3rd party software is more likely to have an easy install for their programs.
I should add that this is all a matter of opinion more than anything else, unless you add some more criteria that might differentiate the differences more.

A: Simplicity to use and configure often don't go hand in hand. Gnome is supposed to be easy to use, but it's pretty big and doesn't have much in the way of customizability. KDE is also big, and more customizable, but the customization options aren't always straightforward. Other alternatives include LXDE and XFCE, which are more lightweight than either Gnome and KDE, as well as not using a desktop environment.
One choice you'll have to make is whether you want to use a desktop environment or a window manager. A basic window manager only manages windows, and many provide additional services such as ways of starting applications and multiple workspaces. A desktop environment adds many more features, generally accessible through icons or other widgets on the screen in panels or docks (clock, network manager, email notifications, removable disk mounting, …), and integrates a session manager. Desktop environments give you more features; with a mere window manager, you have to build your desktop environment piece by piece.
The utmost in configurability comes from window managers that are scriptable in a programming language, such as Sawfish (Scheme) and Awesome (Lua). There are plenty of minimalist window managers, but they are not for the faint of heart.
You'll want to try out various possibilities and look for something that suits you. You can use a program like Xnest or VNC to try out a new environment inside a window that itself is displayed in an environment that you're more comfortable with.
Apart from a few smaller distributions that offer a limited selection of packages, the choice of distribution is irrelevant to the choice of graphical environment.

A: Awesome maybe worth looking at as well as it matches all your criteria.  It should be available from your package manager. The awesome wiki has a plethora of examples.

A: You may find the Linux Desktop Environment-Gnome,KDE,Xfce,MATE,Cinnamon video on YouTube useful.

A: One approach is to simply try each of the desktop environments in which you are interested. If you have sufficient bandwidth, you could download a Live ISO of each one, copy it onto a USB drive, and boot off it. This is probably not the best way to test performance or "bloat", but it will give you a reasonable "feel" for the desktop environment.


In Bonjour you will find something special for any moment. From an appetizing breakfast to start the day well, to a good and healthy meal, to a delicious snack among family or friends.
It's almost a fantasy to stand in front of a shop window adorned with sweets that speak of a tradition brought from far away, across a whole ocean so like the grandeur of France, the occidental cradle of pastry making.
From South America to Miami, a pioneer Frenchman and his group, leaving behind a legacy of experience and the development of new tendencies, decide to export all their work, confident that it will also become a new tendency in this great city.
Bonjour is a fusion between a Bistro and a Pastry shop, where you are invited to enjoy a novel concept, High-End French Pastry, mixed with our exquisite daily specials.
Bonjour is characterized by the quality of its raw materials, using natural, exquisite and honest products upfront, respecting the traditional flavors but innovating in the way they are presented.


The ability to provide highly personalized, cross-platform consumer experiences has the potential to lead to massive revenue increases.
Manufacturing companies and retailers alike are standing on the edge of a whole new, digital world: big data.
As they tiptoe into the digital age of big data, these companies are presented with endless new opportunities to increase profit and efficiency, growth and revenue... but only if they can find a way to break into their data.
According to the information pulled together here by MasterCard company, trueaxis, organizations that have successfully tapped into that data with advanced analytics software and tools have realized over 33% more revenue growth and 12 times the profit growth. In all, for the retail industry, this translates to $1.6 billion on the line in the analytics race, making big data one of the most pressing issues facing companies today.
The means overcoming gaps in cross-departmental communication, technologies and coordination may be critical not only to the success of competing companies, but their survival in this shifting, data-driven market.

Physical systems comprising a dispersed collection of particles in continuous media (fluid/solid) involve two-way exchange of mass/momentum/energy. Under certain conditions, these two-way interactions do not appreciably affect the overall continuum behavior – e.g. sparsely populated small particles in a large fluid domain does not change flow behavior. When relevant, the resolution of these two-way interactions can be computationally demanding, and in many cases leads to complex numerical systems requiring special techniques. On the one hand Stokesian, on the other hand FSI. On the one hand mesh-based, on the other hand point sources. A long-term goal of my research is to investigate numerical method development for unsteady two-way and four-way coupled particle systems.
For collections of particles within a domain with complex geometry, and undergoing collisions, generating good quality meshes that resolve the particle boundaries is a major hurdle. Numerical techniques that "embed" the particle within a background mesh of the overall domain avoid the complication of explicit tracking of particle boundaries, providing a suitable alternative. Fictitious domain and Immersed boundary methods are two prominent examples of such techniques. One of my ongoing research focus is on developing efficient fictitious domain methods for unsteady particle laden-flow, with specific interest in cardiovascular/physiological flows. In particular, I have developed a fictitious domain based framework for modeling the interaction of a blood clot with blood flow. (read more here). I am currently also employing fictitious domain methods to investigate porous media flows and the role of pore-microstructure variations on the flow properties.
Under certain conditions (e.g. small particle size, dilute systems etc.) the two-way coupled interactions can be resolved by imposing mass/momentum/energy sources at the locations of the particles in the domain. This, of course, is complementary to methods that explicitly or weakly resolve the boundaries. I have devised point-source based techniques to couple the impingement of a granular jet on a substrate to stresses and deformation within the substrate material, using semi-analytical solutions for point contact loading and stress. For fluid-particle coupling, I used a similar technique to study transport of fragmented clots in human carotid artery.


"Youth Red Cross Wing" of KLE Academy Of Higher Education and Research's Institute of Nursing Sciences, Belagavi organized "Blood Donation Camp" on 13th May 2017 at Nursing Foundation lab.
Prof. Milka Madhale, KLE Academy Of Higher Education and Research Institute of Nursing Sciences inaugurated the camp and gave brief explanation regarding importance and advantages of blood donation. Mr. Mahaling M.H Programme officer, Youth Red Cross Wing, other faculty and students from KLE Academy Of Higher Education and Research's Institute of Nursing Sciences, were present during the function. Total 45 (Forty five) nursing students donated the blood.
Youth Red Cross Wing, KLE Academy Of Higher Education and Research Institute of Nursing Sciences Belagavi observed "World AIDS Day" on 1st December 2016.
Faculty and students from KLEU's Institute of Nursing Sciences participated in the rally, which was organized by District Health & Family Welfare and District AIDS Prevention Society, Belagavi.
The Rally began with informative plaque cards regarding awareness on HIV- AIDS, from DC office, and ended up in front of the KG Hall, Belagavi.
Youth Red Cross Wing KLE Academy Of Higher Education and Research's Institute of Nursing Sciences was started on 12th August 2014 with the aim of Promoting humanitarian principles and values.
Red Cross promotes the Humanitarian values, which encourage respect for other human beings and a willingness to work together to find solutions to problems. From the seven fundamental principles, the movement aims to influence the behaviour of all the people. Too many people die as a result of no access to even the most basic health services and elementary health education.
Health and community care has become a cornerstone of humanitarian assistance, and accounts for a large part of Red Cross spending. Through these programmes, the Red Cross aims to enable communities to reduce their vulnerability to disease, and prepare for and respond to public health crises.
Guiding and supporting the development of its Societies is one of the Red Cross's fundamental tasks and runs through these four core areas and others. Capacity building programmes and activities include: management and volunteer training, improving branch structures, planning, fund-raising and gender equality. Creating the opportunity for Red Cross Societies to network.
Other Major activities includes : hospital services, blood bank, HIV/AIDS programmes, home for disabled servicemen, vocational training centers, tracing activities, maternity, child and family welfare, nursing, junior red cross activities, preparedness and prevention of communicable & infectious diseases, relief operations in fire, railway & other accidents and events.

Hi. I do this one from yesterday, something about 6hours. I do first the background. The sky is basic gradient with round brush. Second layer are the clouds. I painted all clouds together,brushed them with cloud brush. At the end i painted some white lines about the clouds, then i add all the petals with outer glow and some sky birds.
Painted with Ilustrator and colored with Photoshop. It was fast and simple this time, for next picture i will do more sceneric bg and picking Arima Kousei to Kaori.
