Q: UIAlertView is not visible after bring app to foreground I'm working on a some iOs project. In this project, i have a process:

*

*User register himself in registration page

*When he press "Register", another page is showed (via NavigationControler, with progress idndicator and 'Please Wait' message.)

*After get response from server, some message in UIAlertView is show

*When user press "OK" on alert, it's moved to next (when everything is ok), or previous (when something go wrong) page.

In most case, this flow works. But in sometimes (not always), when user send application to background/lock the screen while process indicator is on, and then turn app back to active state, UIAlertView is not shown. But, then, if user again send app to background and bring it back, message is visible.
Because interaction with UIAlertView is needed to continue, it's a problem. I cannot request from user a knowledge, that if no message is visible in this moment, they should turn app back and front again.  I don't know why it is happen, and how to avoid this behavior. Can you help me?

A: When your app is in background you can give the local notification. so according to you if alertview is not coming but still you want that user should know about that something is happen or something is wrong then you can directly use local Notifications.
here is the code -
 UILocalNotification *localNotification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];

 localNotification.fireDate = self.datePicker.date;
 localNotification.alertBody = self.messageField.text;
 localNotification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
 localNotification.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;

 NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Object 1", @"Key
  1", @"Object 2", @"Key 2", nil];
 localNotification.userInfo = infoDict;

 [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotification];
 [localNotification release];

So when local notification generate user can know about that. And you can navigate the user to directly to application. on clicking off local notification alert. locasl notification alert will come automatically.

[10922] 1st Earl of Dunbar. One of the native English lords who at first resisted the Norman invasion. He wa afterwards received into favor by William the Conqueror and in 1069 was made Earl of Northumberland which he bought for a largesum of money from the King. Installed 1068/69 by William I the Conqueror as Earl, then predominantly an administrative post after his payment of a heavy fine or what would not be thought of as an entrance fee (though his hereditary claim through his maternal grandfather also played a part). In October or November 1027, Gospatric was deprived of the Earldon on a charge of having taken
part in a massacre at Durham. He fled to Scotland, where his cousin Malcolm III of Scotland granted him the Mormaorship of Dunbar (Burke's
Peerage) Made a pilgrimage to Rome in 1061[91502.ftw]

Several studies identify clients as important drivers of innovation in the construction industry. How clients contribute to innovation is however less investigated. In two case studies of health care construction projects, we investigate how client requirements create renewal in the form of intra- as well as inter-project effects. Using an inter-organizational framework of actors, resources and activities (the ARA model), it is possible to identify a variation of effects. The paper concludes that both client requirements and their associated renewal effects are results of interaction in time as well as space. Renewal effects crossing individual projects are dependent on relationships among two or more actors that continue to interact in subsequent projects. In addition, these effects relate to several dimensions of interaction and include how actors relate in new ways, how resources are combined and how activities are organized. Thus, by adopting an interactive perspective, it is possible to reveal how construction clients can contribute to renewal such as innovation and learning, directly and indirectly, within and across projects. Finally, we suggest that managers need to consider the role of long-term business relationships in achieving increased renewal in construction.

A Dream Play , by August Strindberg and adapted by the award-winning playwright Caryl Churchill, creates a fantastical world of the subconscious where characters live within the vivid landscape of dreams.
In this production of A Dream Play , there are graphic images of acts of violence that might be disturbing to some audience members. These images include, but are not limited to, a photojournalistic depiction of war, including the Holocaust, natural disasters, starvation, police violence, and ecological disaster.
Also in this production are three gunshots fired within the first twenty minutes that might be startling or disturbing to some audience members, as well as a depiction of a suicide attempt associated with the gun fired onstage. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
This event is part of the RAC Theatre Department calendar and is open to the public.

GIVEN the increase in the number of people requiring palliative care, Hospice Klang is urgently in need of bigger premises.
Hospice Klang chairman Dr Michael Yoong said the establishment's present centre was at Taman Sri Andalas, Klang.
"This building serves as our clinics, our office and our store for the equipment on loan to patients such as beds, mattresses, wheel-chairs and oxygen machines.
"Our needs have outgrown this building.
"We need more space for our present needs and definitely much more if we are to improve and expand our services.
Total care: Dr Yoong speaking to a patient at the centre.
"A new properly designed and bigger centre is needed,'' said Dr Yoong.
Apart from these immediate needs, added Dr Yoong, there was also always the continual need for support and funds to finance Hospice Klang services which are provided free.
The main purpose of Hospice Klang, established in 1996, is to alleviate mental sufferings associated with advanced cancer by organising patient participation activities.
Wanting to help the organisation continue its noble services, a group of artistes have come forward to help Hospice Klang raise funds for its much needed new premises.
Pianist Lee Tsze Le, violinist Annabel Yong, soprano Lee Kwai Fong, tenor Jason Chia and the CentreStage Dancers will perform at a fund-raising dinner show soon.
Too small: View of the Hospice Klang.
The event is scheduled to be held at the Klang Executive Club at 7pm on Oct 2.
Dr Yoong said the artistes were performing free of charge at the event.
"The voluntary contributions of these local artistes are very much appreciated.
"It is to be hoped that their heartfelt effort will encourage others to attend the charity music night but also to come forward to aid in their own way,'' he added.
Those wanting to donate to Hospice Klang and attend the dinner show, call 03-3324 2125 or 03-3324 4740.

Devin The Dude Inks With Razor & Tie

Rapper Devin The Dude has signed a one-album deal with independent Razor & Tie and is prepping his fifth album, "Landing Gear," for release this fall.
After 15 years, Devin The Dude left Rap-A-Lot Records in February but insists there's no bad blood between he and the Houston independent label. "I'd been there for so long, there wasn't any disagreement," he says. "It was just time to try new things."
"Landing Gear" will be one of the first hip-hop projects released via Razor & Tie following their signing of Lil Jon's BME Recordings artist Shawty Putt. The independent recruited Cinematic Music Group's Jon Shapiro as their urban liaison, and Shapiro used his relationship with Devin to bring the MC to Razor & Tie. Cinematic Music Group manages R&B singer/rapper Sean Kingston.
"Razor mostly does metal and punk and I had a couple of deals on the table," says Devin The Dude. "Koch was interested but I chose to go with Razor because they made it easy and the numbers were right. While I wouldn't want to stand in line, waiting for my project to come out behind other artists, I wouldn't mind a larger label. Razor & Tie just came with a cool proposition."
Devin added that he also wasn't interested in a four-to-five year contract, which is typically the case when an artist signs with a major label. The MC says he wanted the option to release other one-off projects without being hampered by red tape.
The Coughee Brothers and the Odd Squad are crafting most of the production for "Landing Gear." Meanwhile, Devin is intent on embarking on a 30-state college market promotional tour in October. As for a video for his first single once its selected, fans may have to wait a bit longer.
"I don't do many videos," says Devin The Dude. "If we could find a treatment that works, I'm open. But, honestly, videos give me a headache."
Devin The Dude's last album, "Smoke Sessions, Vol. 1," was released in April 2008 and has to sold 6,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Wear minimal clothing (ie. T-Shirt, shorts, bathing suit) at the time of measuring. All measurements must be taken with a soft tape measure pulled snug but not tight. Stand straight, looking forward with your feet flat on the floor. It is best to have help taking the measurements, in order to remain in the optimal measuring stance.

Most definitely you have experienced first-hand a night of what I call "bed brainstorming". It is the phenomenon where you try to lay down and sleep, but your brain is still in hyperdrive and random questions jump in your mind and keep you awake.
Such a question kept me awake for a bit last night. "How many people speak English / German / Italian / etc?" I asked myself, so I took a quick look at it and here's what I found.
Mandarin belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family of languages and is spoken mainly in China (People's republic of China).
Spanish is a part of the Indo-European family and it is spoken in Spain and Central and South America with some differences.
English belongs to the same family of languages and is spoken in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, United States of America and the entire Commonwealth. Each country may have differences in their vocabulary and other.
Hindi is our family member as well and it is spoken mainly in Northern India.
Arabic belongs to the Afro-Asiatic family of languages and is spoken in many countries, mainly in Northern African countries and the entire Arabian Peninsula.
Part of our family as well, Portuguese is spoken in Portugal and Brazil with some differences in the vocabulary and other.
Another family member! Bengali is spoken in Bangladesh and India.
Russian belongs to our family too and is spoken mainly throughout Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Japanese is part of the Japonic family and is spoken in the well-known island-nation of Japan.
Punjabi is our last sister in the family in this top 10 list and it is spoken in regions between Northwest India and East Pakistan.
In lists like this one you will probably find the most common and widely known languages, but keep in mind that there are over 5.000 languages spoken globally every day. That's a lot to keep track of! Lucky for you, our translation agency is able to translate from and to a lot of languages as well. So, you won't get lost in this abundancy.
Next Post Spanish language. Is it spoken the same way everywhere?


Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G boots Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with the company's Emotion UI 2.0 on top. You can take a quick look of the device in action in the video below.
The lockscreen is fairly busy. At its center is a circle with shortcuts in the four cardinal directions: simple unlock to the south, camera to the north, messaging to the east and dialer/call log to the west.
The upper area of the lockscreen displays the time and date. If the music player is running, the time and date are replaced by the music player controls.
Beyond the lockscreen is the Android homescreen with five customizable shortcuts docked at the bottom. The default selection is phone app, messages, mail, web browser and contacts but you can have any app really, or folders with multiple items, visible on all homescreens.
There are nine homescreen panes at most - at least a couple of them will accommodate actual apps. In the absence of an app drawer, anything you install pops up on the homescreen. There're no shortcuts as such -the usual routine of removing icons (dragging them up to a recycle bin at the top of the screen) will uninstall the corresponding app.
The thing is fool-proof and you just can't accidentally uninstall essential apps like the gallery or email client.
The downside of the flat structure is you cannot get rarely used apps out of the way. Folders partially make up for that.
A pinch on the homescreen triggers the familiar Overview mode to let you check out and organize the homescreen panes currently in use, remove or add panes as you please. Alternatively, the overview can be displayed when you hit the Thumbnails shortcut in the menu that appears upon a tap and hold on a blank spot of the screen.
Widgets are available too - tap and hold on the homescreen, then choose Widgets. Of course, you can get third party widgets from the Play Store.
The menu displayed upon a tap and hold on the homescreen also lets you set wallpaper and homescreen transition effects.
Live, static and scrollable static wallpapers are supported. You can activate the Shake to change wallpaper setting, or turn on Random change and set a specific time interval (5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, and every day).
Themes are available as well. A theme will change your homescreen wallpaper, lockscreen style, system icons, system font and the sound profile. There are different lockscreen styles with different unlock gestures, time widgets and shortcut style and layout.
The notification area features up to nine toggles on a single side-swipeable row. Hitting More will reveal all the available toggles and you can choose which of the 15 toggles in total will feature on the top row.
The standard Android notifications stack up below the toggles. The notifications can be expanded or collapsed with a pinch gesture. You can also swipe to dismiss a notification.
A shortcut to the Settings Menu and a Dismiss All button are available in the top right corner of the notification area.
If the Music Player or FM radio apps are running in background, media player controls will be available in the notification area too.
The first toggle on the notification area is Profiles. Upon a tap, a virtual dial appears to choose the setting you need: Normal, Outdoor, Meeting, or Sleep. Each of them has predefined settings - you can't have your own presets or customize the available ones.
The Settings menu has two tabs. The first one is called General and offers only a limited set of settings Huawei thought you'll use most often. The other tab - All Settings - has the default Android list of settings plus a few extra additions by Huawei.
Another new setting is the Power Manager. It has three customizable modes - Smart, Normal and Endurance. You can configure each of those modes, setting up what apps run at startup, as well as which are allowed to run in the background and which aren't.
One hand operations allows you to move the screen unlock, dialer, and the keyboard left or right on the screen, depending on which hand you are using. It's a handy feature to have on such a big device.
The Suspend Button will give you a semi-transparent shortcut dial you can place wherever you like on the left or right side of the screen. The shortcuts available are calculator, gallery, messages and notes. The gallery and messages shortcuts will open the full-screen apps, while the calculator and notes launch a tiny widget-like application on top of the app you are currently running.
The task switcher's interface is the same as the stock Android Jelly Bean solution, but offers a few extra options. Each app thumbnail now has a dedicated close key (in addition to the default swipe to close gesture). There is also a "Kill all" key at the bottom that will terminate all running apps.
Users who find the default homescreen too busy can opt for a simple layout. The latter essentially turns the phablet into a glorified feature phone with large, easy to ready menu layout.
Overall, the user interface of the Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G is as feature-rich as we expected it to be. However, we can't help but frown at the look of Android Jelly Bean out of the box. Having such an outdated OS out of the box is inexcusable for the company with the size and the resources which Huawei has on tap.

OK...we've had a few requests for a recipe or two. Now my cooking is simple. I try things out, add something to an existing recipe, take something away, kind of make it up as I go along. If you are interested, great, give it a try, if not, thats fine too, go back to Betty Crocker.
Chop the onion up into a medium dice.
Throw the diced onion into a crock pot.
Add the cooked Turkey breast to crock pot, and mix it all together with big spoon. Cook on low.
After about an hour in crock pot, add some Brown sugar to your taste. Just add enough to get a hint of sweetness and a bit of heat from the salsa. It will be different for everyone's own individual likes and dislikes, but, experiment with it....start with 1/4 cup, mix it in...taste it...add more if you like, or stop there. Make it work for you.
Also, if you like your chili more spicy, instead of adding a jar of medium chunky salsa, add a jar of HOT chunky salsa and see if it works for you.
Cook it all in the crock pot on low for three hours or so, and have at it. Eat with cornbread, and I like it with thick crusted Sourdough bread too.

As a child, you have a right to meet with other young people, and to join clubs and organisations. Your parents are responsible for you until you're 18 so they may have rules about when you can go out with your friends and where you can go, but in general you should have the freedom to make friends and spend time with them. If you stop other people enjoying their rights – for example by ganging up on someone else or by damaging property, you may end up in trouble with the police.
Can anyone tell me who I can and can't be friends with?
You can be friends with whoever you like (and that means you don't have to be friends with someone you don't want to be friends with). You can spend time with your friends at school or clubs that you belong to, or after school you can meet with your friends.
Can anyone stop me from hanging out with my friends?
If you're at your house, or someone else's house, then you are free to meet with your friends as long as the people who own the house (probably one of your parents or carers) are happy with you being there.
If you're out in public and are making other people feel scared or worried, or you're drinking alcohol, the police may get involved. Find out more about Staying out of Trouble.
What if my parents don't want me to go out?
Your parents or carer, or people with parental responsibility for you may set rules about when you can go out and what time you have to be home as part of their responsibility to look after you. If you can't get to where your friends are without your parents taking you, you may find it hard to hang out with your friends every time you want to.
Your parents or carer might think that it is not in your best interests to spend time with certain people. The younger you are, the harder it might be to spend time with your friends if you and your parents disagree about who you should hang out with and when you can go out. As you get older, you should have more freedom to decide who you want to spend time with.
Can I join clubs with other children and young people?
You should be able to join any club that's open to people of your age. Most clubs aren't allowed to treat people differently and unfairly for any reason – so you can join a club whether you are a boy or a girl, and whatever your race or religion.
Some clubs might decide to take positive action to have members only from a particular group of children and young people who are disadvantaged. This is allowed as long as it's to help that particular group. This is the reason why Guides is allowed to be only for girls.


When SCO started threatening to sue over Linux, it offered Linux users protection from lawsuits if they'd buy a SCOsource license. Some did, despite having other viable protective options. A smattering did accept SCO's SCOsource offer.
If you can call it an offer. "Nice restaurant you've got here. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it."
Ask those companies today if they'd buy a SCOsource license again, if they had a chance to relive it. What did they get for their money? Other companies put off switching to GNU/Linux systems, because of SCO's threats. Think of the savings lost to them because of letting themselves be intimidated. So who were the smart ones, the companies that caved in to the threats or those who saw through them?
No court-validated software patent is infringed by the Linux kernel.
None. That may be why there has never been a patent infringement lawsuit against Linux. That means that to date, Linux doesn't infringe anybody's court-validated patents.
But Joe LaSala, senior vice-president and general counsel at Novell, says none of his company's software violated Microsoft's patents, and that the agreement was about technical compatibility between the companies' products. "We're quite explicit about that," he says. "We've heard their arguments."
The study also found that a third of the 200+ non-validated patents that could conceivably be used to threaten Linux are owned by companies friendly to Linux. Only 10% belonged to Microsoft, and they just told us they're not litigating. In any case, Red Hat indemnifies its customers, among other options, if you are in a panic.
The New York Stock Exchange is migrating off a 1,600 millions of instructions per second (MIPS) mainframe to IBM System p servers running AIX and x86 Hewlett-Packard Co. servers running Linux, with the first part of the move going live today.
People aren't as dumb as Microsoft needs them to be. One more thing: it's important to realize that there is a threat if you DO enter into such a deal.
Thanks to a patent system that went overboard issuing patents, which the Supreme Court in its recent KSR ruling brings to a screeching halt, many previously issued patents aren't worth the paper they are printed on. Nearly half of all patents that were brought to trial under the old patent system's definition of obviousness were thrown out. If you apply KSR's standard of nonobviousness, as the highest court says you must, how many patents would survive? What, you think Microsoft's patent on IS NOT is not obvious? So the threat isn't as big as it might appear.
To help you understand the actual purpose of the latest threats from Microsoft, there's a transcript on Wikisource of Eben Moglen's break-out session at Red Hat Summit 2007, from the video on YouTube. Moglen talks about Microsoft's annual "Be Very Afraid Tour" in answer to a question from the audience asking Moglen to explain the threat posed to GPL'd software's freedom by the Microsoft-Novell agreement. I thought it would be worthwhile to make the transcript part of our permanent collection here also, because I don't know if Novell reads Wikisource. Also, I thought it worthwhile to inform CEOs thinking that safety lies in such deals that in fact it puts their future software supply in danger, as Moglen explains.
Ask yourself this: do I want to be forced to use someone's product under threat? To pay them even if I don't want their product? If you buy an HP printer, do you also pay Xerox and Dell a tax because you didn't buy a printer from them? Deeper, do you want to help Microsoft destroy Linux and FOSS?
And in any case, as Dan Ravicher noted here, the winner doesn't keep all. "It's rare for a patent holder to get an injunction, especially against a smaller competitor, just because of anti-competitive terms."
So like Mutually Assured Destruction, the true value of Microsoft's patent arsenal lies in the threat of their use, not their actual use.
Orlowski called this one exactly right. That's what it was about then, and it's what it is still about, with the added wrinkle that today we have Open Invention Network, so IBM doesn't have to retaliate. OIN can. Of course, IBM is a member of OIN.
Eben Moglen: Oh, I beg your pardon, certainly, I, the question was so obvious that it needed no repetition: "Could I explain the threat posed to GPL'd software's freedom by the Microsoft/Novell agreement?".
I know, it sounds absurd.
Imagine now that what happens is that the annual "Be very afraid" tour starts creating terrible pushback, because people call up who are the CEOs of major banks and financial institutions, and they say, "Those people you're threatening are us. We're the largest, richest, most powerful people in capitalism, and we determine the value of your stock. We think you should be quiet now." OK?
Now what if you could reduce their sense of being the people who are made afraid? What if you could find a way to give them quiet and peace -- and make a little money on the side -- so that the only people who are left quaking when you did your annual "Be Very Afraid" tour were the developers themselves? Now you would have given yourself a major ecological boost in swinging your patents around and threatening to hurt people.
This process of attempting to segregate the enterprise customers, whose insistence on their rights will stop the threatening, from the developers, who are at the end the real object of the threat, is what is wrong with the deals.
So what you ought to do is to say to parties, Please don't make separate peace at the community's expense. Please don't try to make your customers safe, if that's going to result in the destruction of the upstream rain forest where your goods come from. We're an ecological system. If you undermine community defenses, you're undermining the whole ecology. And doing that for the benefit of your customers at the expense of your suppliers is not a good way to stay in business.
So that's the fundamental discussion about the problem created by such deals.

[Album Review] Don't Call Me / Atlantis (7th Studio Album / 7th Studio Album Repackaged) – SHINee
April 19, 2021 Posted in Album Reviews, KPOPTagged SHINee
SHINee's back! Apologies that it has taken me this long to review the album. The group's 7th studio album, titled Don't Call Me (after the title track), was released way back in February 2021. Other albums and songs got in the way, hence why I have pushed the album review so far out. And it was pushed so far out that SHINee had time to release a repackaged version titled Atlantis (also after the title track of the repackaged album). So I thought, why not wait until the entire album is released in its entirety to write an album review. Well, that is where we find today. As a heads up, Don't Call Me and Atlantis were both very strong releases. I think I found majority of the album to be of a high calibre, which is expected of SHINee given their legendary and powerful status in the industry. To find out about my thoughts on the album, continue reading!
Don't Call Me Album Cover
Atlantis Album Cover
1. Atlantis (Title Track) – Click here to read the full review for Atlantis. (10/10)
2. CØDE – CØDE features a deep house instrumentation and a powerful chorus that really grabs your attention. I really liked this effect, but I wished the verses weren't as boring as they were. Aside from that, CØDE has this nostalgic factor to it as it felt like a SHINee song from its various highs and lows in the instrumentation. The vocals obviously add to that nostalgia, making it a decent song to be included on the album. (7/10)
3. Don't Call Me (Title Track) – Click here to read the full review for Don't Call Me. (10/10)
4. Area (같은 자리) – To me, the falsettos within Area really make this a captivating and aesthetic track. In addition to the vocals, I also enjoyed the warped brass at the end of the song. This is in combination to the subdued and subtle groove that the rest of the instrumentation had. In Area, the consistency was a powerful tool that was well used and helped kept the track engaging for me. This is quite rare for me, as I do enjoy my changes within songs to keep them interesting. But there was so much load and heft in the vocal department, I honestly did not mind. (9/10)
5. Heart Attack – Heart Attack thrives on its bass heavy, bouncy and groovy instrumentation, keeping true to current trends. It feels like a song SHINee would nail on stage, showing off the best of SHINee in the vocal department. (In fact, they did as the song was selected to be their one of their secondary promotional songs, which was performed alongside Don't Call Me in this comeback week!). I really like how satisfying the chorus sounded when all the members sang together. One element noticeably missing that I think would have made Heart Attack even better was a rap sequence. It would have been great to have one to concentrate the subtle intensity the song exuded without knowing. (8.5/10)
6. Marry You – Taking on the nostalgia of 90s R&B, Marry You zones straight into the vocals of SHINee. From their solo parts in the verses to the extremely smooth chorus, Marry You sounds extremely dreamy. Even the instrumental (aside from the use of that squeaky synth throughout the song, which honestly could have been replaced with something a little more grounded and natural) complimented the vocals so well. (8/10)
7. Days and Years – Days and Years is also another awesome song from the album. I find everything to be so pleasantly captivating. The synth pop instrumental isn't heavy or overbearing, which makes the song so appealing. It gives off the same vibes and aesthetic that an acoustic song would have, which is remarkable to replicate. The focus on the vocals, once again, makes this song a worthwhile listen. The chorus, sung by all the members together, had a memorable and enjoyable hook. The verses also showed off great technique. Altogether, Days and Years has that edge over the songs preceding it. (10/10)
8. I Really Want You – I Really Want You is the song you want on your playlist for a jam session. The energy that comes from this song is so addictive. So much that I had to force myself away from the replay button or else this album review will never be seen on the blog. Their vocal work is superb and the song finally gives us those rap sequences that was missing from the album (note: this comment was based on the tracklist of Don't Call Me). I Really Want You also delivers with catchy lines and hook, making this song even better. To me, I Really Want You is this album's hidden gem. (10/10)
9. Kiss Kiss – Continuing the momentum from the last song is Kiss Kiss. If we were to compare the two songs, Kiss Kiss is more subdued as the instrumental isn't as explicitly as upbeat as the former. But like the previous song, Kiss Kiss is also quite catchy thanks to the constant repetition of the title and the English lines. I also enjoyed the acoustic nature of the song. However, the song still has its share of synths. Altogether, it really makes the song another great listen on this album. (9/10)
10. Attention – Attention takes an even more subdued approach, opting for a clear example of upbeat R&B. It is also the first song on the album that I am not really digging. While I do like their falsetto vocals when it came to the chorus, it didn't feel as exciting as had they employed the same technique earlier on in the album. You can blame this on the instrumentation I felt didn't do the song justice. The instrumental, to me, felt like it was stuck in neutral gear and never really got out of it. (6/10)
11. Body Rhythm – From the first seconds of the song, you can tell that Body Rhythm was going down the sensual route. The song has reggae influences that probably made it even better. While the vocals were solid and worked with the reggae influence, I wished they had a bit more oomph to really make this song click. It felt pretty plain and neutral as we got to the end of the song. (7.5/10)
12. Kind (빈칸) – Kind is the album's take on a ballad. But knowing it is SHINee, they switch it up by incorporating synths and piano work to give this song a more modern feel. Some of the vocals were also autotuned to give off, what I assume, would be a similar modern feel. And I feel that SHINee delivered on that front. In addition to that, Kind's vocals were breathtaking, delivering more of that typical ballad front to the song. It was really captivating and engaging as the final song on the album. (10/10)
Overall Album Rating – 8.8/10

Спроба лужицьких сербів вийти зі складу Німеччини в 1945—1946 роках — друга спроба лужицьких сербів у XX ст., приєднатися до Чехословаччини або утворити власну державу.

Можливість здійснити цю ідею після закінчення Другої світової війни була набагато реальнішою в порівнянні з аналогічною спробою 1918—1919 рр., що була розпочата після поразки Німеччини в Першій світовій війні. Однак через ряд причин, зокрема через відсутність інтересу в здійсненні цих планів у великих держав (в першу чергу СРСР), а також через дотримання Чехословаччиною та Польщею насамперед власних національних інтересів (небажання Чехословаччини, зайнятої нагальною депортацією німців, включати до свого складу область зі значним німецьким населенням), спроба зміни політичний статус Лужиці закінчилася невдачею.

Хронологія подій

Після поразки Німеччини у Другій світовій війні серболужицкі лідери, спираючись на досвід розпочатої спроби створення серболужицкої держави після закінчення Першої світової війни в 1918—1919 рр., виступили з планом про відділення лужицьких земель від Німеччини і приєднання до Чехословаччини. З останньої лужичан пов'язувало етнічну спорідненість і старі культурно-історичні зв'язки: лужицькі землі протягом майже трьох століть перебували під владою Чеського королівства. У період національного відродження в XIX ст. між двома народами підтримувалися інтенсивні контакти на рівні культури і науки. Чехословаччина в найбільшій мірі допомогла Лужичанам в міжвоєнні роки. У порівнянні з ситуацією 1918 року, прихильники здобуття лужицькими сербами самостійності в 1945 році побачили Німеччину не тільки переможеною, але і позбавленою суверенітету і окупованою арміями переможців. Заняття лужицьких земель Червоною армією — «великим слов'янським союзником» спочатку вселяло в лужичан і чехословаків особливий ентузіазм. Впевненість в співчутті до них з боку країн-переможців дозволила лужицьких лідерам сформулювати в програмі всі свої уявлення про політичний устрій лужицьких земель.

Перший меморандум
5 травня 1945 року лужицький католицький священнослужитель Ян Циж звернувся з концентраційного табору Дахау до президента Чехословаччини Е. Бенеша, оголосивши про «перехід серболужицкого народу під захист» президента, і попросив його вжити заходів щодо захисту лужичан країнами-переможцями. 9 травня Циж звернувся з аналогічним посланням до чехословацького уряду з проханням представити лужицьке питання на спланованій мирній конференції і взяти серболужицкий народ під своє заступництво. При цьому Циж висловлював сподівання на порятунок від «німецького ярма» тільки за підтримки «братніх слов'янських народів, в першу чергу чеського народу», підкресливши, що «на нашу користь ситуація сильно відрізняється від становища в 1918 році: Німеччина, наголову розбита, лежить в безсиллі». В той же день у Празі був створений Серболужицький національний комітет (СЛНК), пізніше перейменований в Серболужицький земський національний комітет. До нього увійшли лужицькі діячі. 12 травня СЛНК звернувся до Бенеша і Сталіна з меморандумом, в якому просив забезпечити повернення на малу батьківщину всіх лужицьких сербів і дати можливість членам комітету переїхати до Баутцена, де учасники СЛНК планували зайнятися відродженням національного життя лужичан. При цьому в меморандумі вказувалося на те, що у лужицьких сербів з'являється друга в історії можливість отримати свободу «під охороною переможного Радянського Союзу і в тісній співпраці з сусідньою Чехословаччиною». 10 травня відновила свою діяльність лужицька «Домовина», заборонена німецькою владою 1937 року. 11 травня відбулася зустріч серболужицької делегації з заступником прем'єр-міністра Чехословаччини Й. Давидом, а 12 травня — і з прем'єром З. Фірлінгером. У той же день «Домовина» через радянську газету «Правда» звернулася до Сталіна з проханням «надати допомогу і охорону найменшому слов'янському народу і звільнити його від рабства, в якому він знаходився століттями», і «приєднати Лужицю до Чехословацької республіки як національну автономну одиницю, оскільки вона належала до чеських земель століттями». У цей час «Домовина», поряд з СЛНК, перетворилася в один з центрів серболужицького національного руху. Обидві організації бачили в приєднанні до Чехословаччини єдину можливість збереження лужицьких сербів. 25 травня в столиці Чехословаччини прибули Ян Мешканк і Юрій Циж для встановлення зв'язків між СЛНК і «Домовиною». Представники обох організацій визначили собі за мету «визволення народу» і «приєднання Лужиці до Чехословаччини».

Другий меморандум

1 червня 1945 року був прийнятий «Меморандум лужицьких сербів — слов'янського народу в Німеччині, який вимагає звільнення і приєднання до Чехословаччини». У документі вказувалося на близькість культури лужичан і чехів, і спільність їх історії починаючи з держави Само. Передбачалося розміщення на лужицьких землях військ Чехословаччини, відкриття в Будишині філії Чехословацького національного банку. При цьому відносини між Лужицею і Чехословаччиною повинні були будуватися у формі «земського устрою за прикладом Моравії і Сілезії з деякими винятками, що стосуються культурної автономії». Територія єдиної Лужиці, за меморандумом, повинна була включати райони Легніц, Франкфурт-на-Одері і Дрезден-Баутцен загальною площею близько 10   000 км² і населенням 800 000 осіб, зокрема 500   000 лужицьких сербів (як вважали автори документа). Передбачалося скоротити територію історичної області лужичан, відокремивши від неї райони з чисто німецьким населенням і залізничною лінією Дрезден-Берлін. 2 червня лідери «Домовини» виступили зі зверненням до командувача Червоною армією в Німеччині Георгія Жукова, в якому запропонували об'єднати лужицькі землі в одне адміністративно-територіальне утворення і приєднати його до Чехословаччини. Як і в попередніх випадках, ця пропозиція лужицьких сербів залишилося без відповіді.

8 червня відновило свою роботу Товариство друзів Лужиці в Чехословаччині. Його головою став один з керівників пролужицкого руху В. Змешкал. Товариство виступило посередником між серболужицькими лідерами і владою Чехословаччини, а також ініціатором численних акцій культурного і політичного характеру в підтримку лужичан. На першому засіданні товариства, яке відбулося 8 червня, учасник пролужицького руху в період між двома світовими війнами Й. Давид заявив, що «справедливі вимоги лужицьких сербів будуть підтримані чехословацьким урядом», а В. Змешкал закликав уряд Чехословаччини ініціювати переговори з країнами-союзниками про введення в Лужицю військ Чехословаччини. Учасники засідання направили чехословацькому керівництву і Сталіну телеграми із закликами надати підтримку лужицьким сербам. Крім Й. Давида сподівання лужичан поділяли й інші члени чехословацького уряду. На засіданні кабінету міністрів Чехословаччини 8 червня міністр освіти З. Неєдли заявив про історичне право Чехословаччини на лужицькі землі. Міністр інформації та культури В. Копецки висловив думку, що «ми повинні прагнути до приєднання лужицьких сербів». Особливий інтерес до лужицького питання в цей період виявило міністерство оборони Чехословаччини. Учасник спільного засідання з представниками Товариства друзів Лужиці і СЛНК генерал А.   Рессел вважав, що можливість приєднання Лужиці в історичних межах політично нереальна, її не можна відстоювати на міжнародному рівні, що в разі приєднання Лужиці з неї необхідно виключити місто Котбус, що клином міститься на півночі, і включити ряд прилеглих районів для забезпечення системи комунікацій з Чехословаччиною. При цьому А. Рессел вказав на справедливість вимог лужичан про приєднання до Чехословаччини.

Всі звернення і меморандуми СЛНК були залишені союзниками без відповіді. На переговорах з радянським керівництвом в червні 1945 року З. Фірлінгер спробував підняти лужицьке питання. За словами К. Каплана, Сталін на цих переговорах назвав це питання «делікатним». Набагато більш пріоритетним для Чехословаччини на цих переговорах було питанням вирішення територіальних суперечок з Угорщиною і Польщею. Протокол засідання комісії уряду з питання про державний кордон від 20 червня 1945 року показує, що лужицьке питання в цей час не знаходило підтримки у керівництва Чехословаччини: «Комісія одноголосно висловилася проти того плану зміни кордонів, який включав би територію Лужиці». На думку сучасного чеського фахівця з серболужицькій історії Й. Шула, саме на цьому засіданні комісії уряд Чехословаччини відмовилося від Лужиці. При цьому уряд не повідомив про своє рішення лужицьких сербів, продовжуючи «імітувати зацікавленість в сприятливому вирішенні лужицького питання і тим самим дезорієнтувати серболужицких політиків». У липні член СЛНК М. Кречмар звернувся до чехословацького уряду, привертаючи увагу останнього на зростання занепокоєння у лужичан в зв'язку з відсутністю в уряду Чехословаччини чіткої політики щодо Лужиці. У зверненні було поставлено питання про введення чехословацьких військ до Лужиці: «Польський уряд використовував своє союзницьке право, і польське військо вже стоїть на лівому березі Ниси-лужицької. Наш народ не може зрозуміти, чому Чехословаччина досі не зробила так же, тим більше, що наш народ вітав би цей крок». Тим часом, влада Чехословаччини відразу після звільнення країни почали масове виселення німців до Німеччини. Водночас відбувався процес виселення німців з Сілезії, в результаті чого Лужиця піддалася напливу німецьких біженців. Як пізніше писав Lužickosrbský věstník, «Зараз в Лужиці не залишилося чисто серболужицких сіл, оскільки всюди розселилися німецькі переселенці з Чехословаччини і Польщі». На засіданні 24 липня члени чехословацького уряду розійшлися в думці щодо подальшої долі Лужиці. Міністр оборони Л. Свобода виступив з пропозицію направити делегатів до радянського командування для вирішення питання про зайняття чехословацькими військами Верхньої Лужиці. 24 липня на Староміській площі відбулася демонстрація на підтримку лужичан, яка зібрала близько ста тисяч прихильників приєднання Лужиці до Чехословаччини.

Третій меморандум
До грудня 1945 року у зовнішній політиці серболужицких лідерів стався поворот, коли керівник СЛНК Я. Циж звернувся до маршала Г. Жукова з питанням створення Лужицького держави під протекторатом Радянського Союзу та інших слов'янських держав. 7 січня 1946 року лужицькі серби направили великим державам меморандум з вимогою політичної, культурної, національної та економічної самостійності. На початку 1946 року управління цивільними та адміністративними справами в Німеччині було передано радянською військовою адміністрацією німцям. Чехословацьке видання Lužickosrbský věstník відзначало, що ця подія означає перехід серболужицького національного руху під контроль німців: «Німці дуже швидко стали знову піднімати голову. Можна легко собі уявити, якою буде ситуація в Лужиці… після відходу Червоної армії». Серболужицький з'їзд, що відбувся 27 січня, знову прийняв звернення до Жукова і Сталіна із закликом підтримати створення серболужицької держави. Серболужицькою народної радою були призначені офіційні представники до Чехословаччини, Франції, Польщі і Югославії. У серпні 1946 року посольство Югославії направило до МЗС СРСР офіційну ноту, в якій було поставлене питання про створення серболужицької автономії. З огляду на нечисленність лужицьких сербів Москва відхилила прохання про автономію Лужиці, прийшовши до висновку, що державний статус Лужиці належить до повноважень Німеччини.

Тим часом в 1946 році в Німеччині була розгорнута боротьба з серболужицьким національним рухом, який сприймався німецьким суспільством як сепаратизм. Надалі про проведення будь-якого масового заходу необхідно було повідомляти німецьку поліцію. Активісти утвореної в квітні 1946 року Соціалістичної єдиної партії Німеччини провели на території Лужиці збори, на яких виступили з критикою ідеї від'єднання лужицьких земель від Німеччини.

Четвертий меморандум
16 травня 1946 року СЛНК звернувся до секретаріату конференції міністрів закордонних справ союзних держав з меморандумом, в якому просив вислухати делегацію лужицьких сербів під час підписання мирного договору з Німеччиною. До осені 1946 року загострилися відносини між СЛНК і «Домовина». Участь останньої у виборах в ландтаги земель було негативно сприйнято СЛНК. 12 вересня Я. Циж відзначав: «Ми, лужицькі серби, не можемо брати участь в цих виборах … Ми … хочемо свободи. Тому ми не можемо визнати над собою владу будь-якого німецького сейму». Наприкінці 1946 року СЛНК остаточно втратив вплив в Лужиці. 26 лютого 1947 року Я. Циж пішов у відставку. У зверненні серболужицької делегації до учасників Слов'янського з'їзду, який пройшов в грудні 1946 року в Белграді, говорилося про необхідність об'єднання лужицьких земель в єдину адміністративну одиницю. Але і цього задуму «Домовини» не судилося збутися.

Everyone knows we do not hesitate to call out cultural appropriation at The Root. So what happens when someone reports a person of color to the fashion police for engaging in that misdemeanor? Will that person use their nonwhite privilege to excuse their behavior? Will they push back against the accusations? Will they shuffle the cultural deck and play the mythical "black card"?
Well, this year, apparently a young woman of color didn't get the notice.
Wait a minute. She's a woman of color, so you can't call her out. Plus, she's beautiful, young; she's at a music festival; and she shouldn't care about any other culture but her own, right? Even though she's not white, I bet she's probably going to respond with insensitive indignation, just as some callous Caucasians do whenever they are questioned for using sacred traditions as throwaway props to make them look cool.
Guess what unbelievable response this woman gave as soon as she heard that someone thought her attire was offensive to their heritage? She did something absolutely insane.
Props to her, and let this woman's humility, open-mindedness and willingness to accept responsibility for her actions be a lesson to us all. Just because someone makes a mistake and does something racist, homophobic, transphobic or insensitive doesn't mean that person is a racist, homophobe, et al.
This lady did what she was supposed to do. She recognized her wrong, apologized sincerely and learned from it. This is a living, breathing example of cultural awareness, and proof that people can learn from their mistakes.

Tay-Sachs Disease (TSD) testing in individuals of non–ashkenazi jewish origin
Authors' recomendations: Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is an inherited fatal neurodegenerative disease, the prototype of a group of disorders called hexosaminidase A deficiency or GM2 gangliosidosis. Hexosaminidase A deficiencies are caused by excessive storage of a cell membrane glycolipid, GM2 ganglioside, within the cell lysosomes. Infants with TSD typically appear developmentally normal in the first months of life. Between 3 and 6 months of age, weakness and loss of motor skills become apparent, accompanied by decreased social interaction and visual attentiveness, and increased startle response to sharp noise. Typical clinical findings include the distinctive "cherry-red spot" in one or both eyes, liver and spleen of normal size, low muscle tone, involuntary muscle contractions, and overactive reflexes. As neurodegeneration progresses, motor skills are lost and overall movement decreases, vision deteriorates, and seizures are common by age 12 months. Disease progresses further in the second year with difficulty swallowing and more frequent and severe seizure activity, resulting in a vegetative state. Death from pneumonia generally occurs between ages 2 and 4 years, although improvements in supportive care may prolong survival. Historically, TSD was most common in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, occurring in approximately 1 in 3600 births prior to the implementation of targeted carrier screening programs. Comparatively, occurrence of TSD in the general population is approximately 1 in 360,000 births, although certain ethnic groups such as French Canadians have a higher incidence. With the success of Ashkenazi Jewish carrier screening, the majority of cases of infantile TSD in North America now occur in non–Ashkenazi Jewish individuals. TSD and other hexosaminidase A deficiencies result from genetic abnormalities, or variants, in the HEXA gene, which encodes the alpha subunit of the HEX A enzyme. The level of HEX A enzyme is inversely correlated with disease severity in hexosaminidase A deficiencies. The disease is inherited recessively, such that individuals who inherit two variant copies of the HEXA gene are afflicted with disease, while individuals who inherit one variant copy are unaffected disease carriers. Patients with the most severe form of hexosaminidase A deficiency, infantile TSD, have two nonfunctioning HEXA variants, and therefore, a complete lack of HEX A enzyme activity. HEXA variants associated with severe disease are most common, but some HEXA variants are associated with milder disease forms with later onset and slower disease progression. There are also HEXA variants that are not associated with disease (i.e., polymorphisms). Targeted testing for TSD typically involves testing for a panel of the most common HEXA gene variants. Although such targeted HEXA gene testing is often included in what are called Ashkenazi Jewish screening panels, some of the included variants are generally not found in Ashkenazi Jews but are common in other populations. Approximately 40% to 50% of non-Jewish carriers do not have common variants, however, and targeted testing may not yield conclusive results. Full-gene sequencing is therefore common in cases where ancestry is non-Jewish or unknown. Treatment of TSD is primarily supportive and consists of providing adequate hydration and nutrition, coping with infectious disease, maintaining respiratory and digestive systems, and controlling seizures.

Manchester City are set to take on dutch champions Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League game on Tuesday night, 21 November 2017 at Etihad Stadium. Manchester City has already qualified for the knockout stages and we can expect Pep Guardiola to make whole list of changes in this game but even with the changes they are strong enough to get another three points specially playing at home.
The game kicksoff at around 20:45 CET / 19:45 uk time and we will have live links closer to the kickoff. However if you missed the live action, you can always tune in here for full match highlights after the game is over.
Feyenoord who are currently top of the table with 7 points can book their place in knockout stages with a win and having already beaten United earlier in the season they will be confident of atleast getting a point at Old Trafford. However if United win and Fenerbahce lose their game against Zorya, United will qualify with a game to spare.
Team News & Starting Lineups: Mourinho has rested the likes of Wayne Rooney, Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia, Henrikh Mkhitarya and Jesse Lingard which means we might see several changes in the starting lineup. Rashford is certain to start alongside Martial and Ibrahimovic while Mata, Herrera might also get a chance one way or the other. Below is the possible starting lineups of both teams.
Feyenoord on the other hand has made absolute superb start in the Dutch Eredivisie winning all five of their opening league games and they will certainly provide a difficult game for United on Thursday night. Its widely expected Jose Mourinho will use Europa League for his fringe players and might only take it serious if they get far in the tournament just to make sure main players stay fresh for important league game.
The match will be early kickoff on Thursday evening starting at around 17:00 uk time and BT Sports will have live coverage in the UK but if you don't have access to live action you can always tune in here for short match highlights after the game is over.
79′ 1 – 0 Tonny Vilhena scored after slick counter attack move to put home side in lead.

Our New York City guided sightseeing tour of downtown Manhattan takes you through the heart and soul of New York City – home to Wall Street, Ground Zero, City Hall and countless other world-famous sites. Located on the Southern tip of Manhattan Island, Downtown Manhattan – also known as the Financial District – is a compact area of wall-to-wall landmarks that stimulate the senses and allow the traveler to be a part of living, breathing history. Tourists are drawn to this area because it is the home of Wall Street, the iconic Charging Bull, the former World Trade Center site of 'Ground Zero', areas such as Battery Park and the South Street Seaport that offer breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty, St. Paul's historic chapel, the 1883 Brooklyn Bridge which is still in use today for auto traffic, and the Downtown Manhattan skyline.
This tour will cover the New York of old and new, from the exact point where the last British troops retreated during the Revolutionary War, to the areas affected by the events of September 11th, the 2008 financial crisis and Hurricane Sandy. This world-renown locale is constantly changing, evolving and making international headlines. After you complete this tour, this area and its history will become a part of your own story.
People tell us all the time that our tours make travel easier and much more interesting. So download this tour to your mobile device and walk along with us through the incomparable Downtown Manhattan, New York City.
The Financial District's streets are quite narrow, reflecting the original architecture of the colonial period. As a result, most streets are one-way, crowded and difficult to drive through. The best way to navigate the area is on foot, though taxis can easily be found on the main thoroughfares such as Broadway, Water Street and Church Street.
Should you choose to drive, street parking is limited but there are an abundance of parking lots in the area. Rates generally range from $8.00 per half hour to $50.00 for overnight parking.
The Financial District is accessible on foot from Midtown Manhattan via Broadway, and the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, A, C, E, J, M, N, R and Z trains also stop throughout the area. From New Jersey, the PATH train stops at the World Trade Center, and from Staten Island, the Staten Island Ferry stops at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, South Ferry, which is adjacent to Battery Park.
Many local restaurants that cater to the working crowd in the Financial District are closed on weekends. Restaurants on Broadway, Fulton Street and the South Street Seaport, however, are open and operating on weekends with an abundance of food options at a wide range of prices.
The Financial District is a busy and robust area Monday through Friday. This is the best time to visit if you want to experience the authentic hustle and bustle of life on Wall Street. For a more serene experience, weekends and holidays are considerably less crowded, with the primary visitors consisting of fellow tourists.
How do you visit New York and take time to enjoy everything?
By getting this guide and easily plan your time and what you want to see. This amazing tour guide allow you to do that without being press on time, or have to rush because of the tour guided bus which is running on schedule. I have been able to take my time trough ground zero, wall street and other memorable places. I definitely recommend this guide to everyone like me who enjoys architectural views, memorable places and is not ready to see everything in one bus tour guide.
A very readable and enjoyable self guided tour. I can manage how much I do and how long I stay in an area and when I want to take a break. The idea of being confined to a bus as it tries to navigate its way through lower Manhattan was very unattractive to me and this guide is an enjoyable and very doable alternative. I look forward to future ones in other areas of the City.
Really enjoyed this tour which was informative, well organized and covered the main points of interest like Ground Zero. The pace was good and well thought out. Highly recommend it!
This tour was a great way to see Ground Zero and Wall Street. The self-guided aspect allowed me to get the best parts of the area on my own time. The commentary was historically interesting and I also enjoyed the humor in the tour!
This book piqued my interest in visiting lower Manhattan. It was such a fantastic guide! This is hands-down, the best Downtown NY Tour Book. Very in-depth and interesting places to visit. See for yourself!
Even though I am a native New Yorker, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting and learning more about the history of the FiDi landmarks. Mr. Woliner's interest in the area comes through in his engaging style of writing. Being able to complete the tour at my own pace made it even more enjoyable.
As an avid walker and surveyor of lower Manhattan, I find myself sharing the same points of view as Mr. Woliner, regarding the sights and stops along this virtual tour (chotchkies and all). A pleasant commodity for both the tourist and New York City local, "Exploring Downtown New York" provides an engaging trip fit for anybody who's up for a great day. Bravo!
Geoff Woliner's guided tour through the most historic and oldest section of Manhattan is well written and concise. The tour doesn't make waste of one's time as each location on the tour is of great historical significance! Time with this original and informative self guided tour is time well spent.
This is a very engaging and entertaining self-guided downloadable tour of Lower Manhattan. I learned a lot about Wall Street, Ground Zero and a ton of other landmarks. I was in NYC for a training gig so didn't have time for a full blown tour. It was a great way to wander around at my own pace, because I like to stop when I want to, and because I had to fit the tour into my own schedule, which you don't get the opportunity to do if you're on a guided tour.

Dive deep into 90s indie music with our Alternative/ Britpop and Garage Rock Playlist
The Smashing Pumpkins back in the 1990s
Our little history lesson in independent music continues with its noisy second edition.
by Norman Fleischer
Ready for another lecture in autentic independent music of the past four decades? We've recently already given you an extended playlist dedicated to the origins of the indie music scene in the 1980s. Now we're about to continue this journey by heading straight to the 1990s in form of an even longer and more extended playlist, documenting the highlights and forgotten gems of this decade. The latest addition to our Spotify channel shows what twists and turns the movement took a few years later and will hopefully introduce you groups that aren't on your radar yet.
There's multiple reasons why this list is even longer than its predecessor. Mostly, the extension shows how the 90s indie music scene got even bigger compared to the years prior to it. More sub-genres, labels and distribution possibilities showed up, allowing a growing number of artists to detach themselves from the mainstream scene. The US independent movement played a crucial role here. Having already started in the late 80s, the grunge and alternative rock movement of groups like PIXIES, SONIC YOUTH, PEARL JAM and… well, obviously, NIRVANA grew even bigger. The sound got heavier and noisier in the process, delivering a spirit that was more driven by traditional punk aesthetics back then. Of course, it didn't take long before the alternative scene got washed out in the mainstream over the course of the decade but in the aftermath emerging artists like DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, MODEST MOUSE and NADA SURF already teased what would later fully bloom in the new century.
The UK however suffered from the aftermath of the 80s indie music peak. Shoegaze groups like SLOWDIVE and RIDE were one answer while the rave movement was another big thing to happen. It needed a few years before guitar-based independent rock regained its strength and got the momentum it needed to form a new wave. OASIS, BLUR, SUEDE, PULP were the names, Britpop was the label and the rest is history. Other parts of Europe joined the wave and added a regained love for melodies and pop to the noisy US aspect of alternative rock. This all resulted in a really impressive variety of 90s indie music and by the end of the decade the boundaries between 'indie' and 'mainstream' were about to vanish forever… but, well, we'll leave that quick history lessen for the following decade, shall we?
For now, dive deep into the alternative and independent music scene of the 1990s right here, right now. If you think we're missing a few important ones, please let us know and we'll happily add them. Follow, stream and spread the word.
