Banana Caramel Cobbler
This is indulgent and delicious. To be completely honest, it isn't something I would normally make. I am the person that gets excited about mungbean wraps and anything savoury. But I also loved doing this dessert because it is confirming to be that you do NOT need dairy to cook something creamy. This is the most wonderful winter warming dessert which is the perfect amount of gooey and sweet. I would love to hear what you think of it when you make it, so please leave comments below!
400ml can coconut milk
½ cup coconut sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup water
1 cup spelt flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup organic sugar
½ cup coconut oil
¾ cup almond milk
2 bananas, cut lengthways
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Place the coconut milk, coconut sugar, vanilla and water in a small saucepan and cook over high heat for five minutes, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. It will thicken slightly as it caramelises.
Put a few tablespoons of the caramel mix in a separate small bowl, then pour the rest into either an oven-proof frypan or ceramic medium sized bowl.
In a mixing bowl place the flour, baking powder, coconut, sugar, milk and coconut oil. Combine together. (You may need to use your hands.) Spoon the mixture on top of the caramel liquid. Place the bananas on top.
Cook for half an hour, until golden. Serve with a drizzle of the extra caramel sauce you left aside.

Day 1
Repent of your sin. Turn to Jesus and believe in him.
2 Corinthians 4:3-6
Jesus has fully revealed himself to the world as the Son of God and humanity's hope for salvation. His witness and the work of his life was sufficient to fulfill God's law, bridging the canyon between a holy God and His fallen creation. Despite this, we find ourselves among neighbors, family, and co-workers who are blind to the truth of this Gospel. What does it say about the state of the human heart that so many are unable to see what God has deemed a clear and sufficient message?
Pastor Andy introduced the sermon passage by reviewing what had come before in the Gospel account of Mark. After Jesus miraculously fed 4,000 people with only seven loaves of bread, the Pharisees began arguing with him. They demanded more signs from Jesus to validate his claims. Jesus groaned, refused them any more signs, and left. Shortly after this, Jesus and the disciples are met by the blind man, and Jesus healed him. Why did Jesus heal the blind man but refuse the Pharisees their signs?
Mark 8:22 describes a group of people bringing their blind friend to Jesus. They beg Jesus to touch the man and heal his sight. The friends of the blind man knew that only a miracle could heal his malady, so in love and faith they brought him to a miraculous healer. Considering this example from Scripture, how can we bring those in our lives who are spiritually blind to Jesus for healing?
Father, we know that we came into the world blind to the truth of the Gospel, and in grace You have lifted the veil so that we can know the truth and be set free. This was not because we are worthy, but because You are a benevolent Father, overflowing in love, Who has secured our hope at great cost. In our unworthiness, we often turn away from Your truth to pursue sins old and new. Thank You, Lord, that you are a patient Father and a miraculous healer who knows our hearts. We beg that You would touch us, ridding our hearts of obstinance and giving us a clear vision of Your glory. Compel us, oh Lord, to bring the blind among us to You for healing and true sight.

Day 2
Don't be Distracted by the Things of This World. Listen to Jesus.
Matthew 14:22-33
We live in a society that is overflowing with distractions. From cell phones and television to our jobs and our friends, there are so many things that can capture our attention. While none of those things are inherently bad, they can become a problem when we allow them to turn our eyes and ears from Jesus. What things in your life do you find yourself paying more attention to than Jesus and His word?
In the sermon on Sunday, Andy explained that despite all the miracles Jesus had performed, a mere mention of bread was enough to distract the disciples from what He was trying to tell them. Jesus was warning the disciples about the Pharisees when He said, "Watch out; beware of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod," (Mark 8:15) but they began to worry about not bringing bread with them on the boat. As we read this, we easily see the disciples' mistake, yet we are often as easily distracted as they were, letting something as basic as food steer us from where our attention should be. What are some things you can do and practices you can put in place to keep your eyes fixed firmly on Jesus and avoid being distracted by the things you discussed in your answer to our first question?
Jesus responds to them by asking them how they could not understand what he was trying to say. But the problem is, they were blurry-eyed and could not see or understand clearly. They believed, but things were still blurry for them and they were distracted. When Jesus first healed the blind man, he had sight but it was blurry. The disciples saw Jesus similarly, not fully understanding and letting other things blur their vision. The blind man was seeking out Jesus to give him sight. Have you gone to Jesus and asked Him to lift the veil from your eyes, or do you seek answers elsewhere? Do you have sight but need to listen more clearly to understand what Jesus is trying to say to you? If so, go straight to Jesus because He alone can give you eyes to see.
Father, we know that you are worthy of all of our praise and attention. Forgive us for allowing ourselves to be distracted by the things of this world. Help us to keep our eyes always on you and to come directly to you for clarity and sight. We pray for those in our lives who are lost, that they might receive the sight and salvation that only You can give.

Day 3
Honor Jesus as King.
Philippians 2:5-11
Pastor Andy eluded to the fact that to see Jesus clearly is to see him as a suffering servant. The call of Jesus on our lives is to take up our crosses and to follow him no matter the cost. We are to walk toward the kingdom, trusting that Jesus has walked this path before us and that we have a caring Father to watch over us. Are you willing to see clearly and follow Jesus the suffering servant?
To see Jesus clearly is to see him as King over all including your life. The Theologian Abraham Kuyper once wrote, "There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!". As we have discussed over the past few days, at times we get distracted and look away from Jesus. Other times we willfully do so. What things are you tempted to withhold from the rule of Jesus on your life?
One of Pastor Andy's closing thoughts had to do with the patience of Jesus toward us when we become distracted or when we fail to see him clearly. As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, his patience is something to be incredibly thankful for! Take a few moments and consider the times when the Lord has been patient with you. Talk about where and when you have seen his patience in your life and praise him for it together.
Heavenly Father we are Thankful that you care for us and that you watch over us. We praise your patience and admit that we are needy of it. We confess the many times that we do not see Jesus clearly when we willfully do so and when we become distracted by the cares of this world. We ask that the Holy Spirit would continue to remove the blur from our sight and that we would increasingly see, trust and follow Jesus.

Laurel's Visit
My lovely sister Laurel arrived here on Saturday via Athens. She and three other friends had a great time visiting some spectacular Greek islands--including "Meteora" which has some amazing monasteries perched on top of humungous cliffs, "Rhodes," which has a fabulous medieval walled city, and then the spectacular volcano island of "Santorini". Her pictures from all three looked fantastic and Agi and I would love to visit those islands some day. I think the very end of the Bourne Identity is set on Santorini--with gorgeous blue and white architecture and a brilliant deep blue ocean.
Laurel and Agi just stepped out for yoga class at the nearby "Sportmax" gym and both are glad to get away from the endless loop of Coldplay I have going on in here at home. This past weekend we took Laurel to the top of the hills overlooking Budapest and went on a great hike there and very relaxing "ski lift" ride down the hill with great views. We also took her to our favorite outdoor cafe on Margaret Island on Sunday night and Agi took her up to the big castle overlooking the Danube (I stayed home to work, which I definitely need to do!)
But the best part of our time with Laurel is about to begin: we're heading to Salzburg, Austria for three days and plan to hit the beautiful Alps lake regions for some serious hiking. This is one of the most beautiful areas of the world (so we hear--we've never been there) and we'll be ready to soak it in.

Nobuo Amakawa
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private First Class Nobou Amakawa (ASN: 30105681), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with Company I, 3d Battalion, 442d Regimental Combat Team, attached to the 36th Infantry Division, on 27 October 1944, in France, while acting as flank security for his company during an approach march. Upon sighting an enemy machine gun emplacement 20 yards away, Private Amakawa warned his men of the danger in time for them to seek cover before the enemy machine gun and its supporting weapons opened fire upon the company's column. Realizing that the company was pinned down by the intense enemy fire, Private Amakawa and a comrade fearlessly advanced within 10 yards of the hostile emplacement, firing as they made their way forward. Unnerved by the relentless advance of their opponents, the enemy machine gunners abandoned their position and withdrew. While subsequently clearing the area of snipers Private Amakawa was mortally wounded in the neck by a sniper bullet.

Double Chocolate and Quinoa Muffins/
These wholesome gluten-free muffins will deliver you double the chocolate taste, with the nourishment of quinoa flour, almond meal and natural yoghurt to sustain you. I like to make mine large, giving you six decent sized muffins, but they will work just as well smaller, giving you a dozen from this recipe.
makes 6 large or 12 medium
what you need
125g butter,
¾ cup (115g) rapadura sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 cup (100g) almond meal
1 cup (120g) quinoa flour
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
½ cup (125ml) natural yoghurt
100g dark chocolate pieces
what you do
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced) and lightly grease 6 large (160ml) or 12 medium (80ml) muffin tins.
2. Using electric beaters, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla bean paste and beat to combine. Add the remaining ingredients except the chocolate pieces and mix well.
3. Spoon the mixture evenly into prepared muffin tins. For larger muffins use a ½ cup measure per muffin, for smaller muffins a ¼ cup per muffin. Evenly disperse the dark choc pieces between all muffins, poking them into the top of the batter.
4. Bake large muffins for 30 minutes, or medium muffins for 20 minutes or until skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the muffin. Lift out onto a wire rack to cool.
Note: It is doable and worthwhile to make your own almond meal. Process ¾ cup (100g) whole raw almonds to produce the required 1 cup of almond meal. Left over almond meal is best stored in the refrigerator in airtight glass jar.
Storage: To freeze muffins wrap in non-stick baking paper, then place into an airtight snap lock bag with the excess air expelled.

Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche's decision to expand Mercedes-Benz's compact lineup from the A class and B class into a five-model range is capturing new customers for the brand -- and at minimal risk of diluting its premium positioning.
"We are not only expanding into new segments with models such as the CLA and GLA, but we're also strengthening our top models. The new S class is by far the best ever," Zetsche said at a media event last month.
Bernstein analyst Max Warburton told Automotive News Europe that expanding the compact range is probably a valid strategy for Mercedes. "They need to do it to lower average CO2 emissions for their fleet, but it also indisputable that it's bringing in younger buyers." Warburton is also convinced that that move is "offsetting concerns that the Mercedes is too old."
Warburton pointed out that other premium brands have had similar success introducing smaller and cheaper cars. "The Evoque has helped Range Rover seem more trendy, more urban and more youthful, away from the stuffy old image of country living and tweed," he said.
Half million units a year
Mercedes has already launched two of its three additional compact models, the coupe-styled CLA sedan and the GLA crossover. The last vehicle to joint the lineup, the CLA Shooting Brake compact wagon, will launch before the end of the year. Demand for the CLA and GLA is booming globally and Zetsche said that several markets are now asking for twice the volume they had forecasted for this year. "Being short of capacity is a nice problem to have, but I'm confident we will soon be able to deliver 450,000 to 500,000 units a year of our new compact range, compared to about 200,000 annual sales of the previous A and B range," he said.
Last year, Mercedes sold 371,399 A- and B-class and CLA vehicles. The GLA and CLA Shooting Brake could help to push this number up to 500,000. Mercedes' new compact range is key to Zetsche's goal of overtaking global luxury leader BMW and second-ranked Audi in deliveries by 2020.

Students in grades PK - 6 have computer classes 1-2 times per week. Our mission is to develop current technology skills necessary for success.
We use several on-line programs, some of which are: Typing Club, Reading Wonders, Starfall, etc. To access all of the programs we use click here.
Technology Goals:
Students are developing 21st century skills such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving that will help students thrive in today's world. We emphasize how to engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online. Students begin to learn how to manage their personal data as early as the first grade. They are aware of data-collection technology used to track their individual progress with online testing. Our Middle School students understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, and can choose, use or troubleshoot several different technologies used in core subjects. They will be able to transfer this knowledge to their high school studies as they explore emerging technologies.
Keyboarding Skills:
Keyboarding is the foundation of students engaging with technology in proficient and purposeful ways. Physically, the keyboard is the primary and most direct connection between students and most forms of technology. More importantly, it is also their intellectual and creative connection to technology; it is how students' thoughts and ideas make it out of their minds and into the world. It is necessary to understand how important the development of keyboarding skills is. Just like playing the piano, to become proficient it takes daily practice.
G Suite for Education:
St. Patrick of Heatherdowns uses G Suite for Education. Students in grades 4-8 are issued a student google account. This account allows them to use classroom sets of chromebooks as a tool for integrating technology into their core curriculum. With the help of Google Classroom, students learn how to create and express their ideas using the G Suite for Education apps.

I have a tableview with a search bar and scope bar beneath. When the user choses an option from the scope bar, I want to reload the tableview with the filtered items, change the scope bar, and then refilter given choices from the new scope bar. It is easy enough to do the first two parts,
func filterContentForSearchText(_ searchText: String, scope: String = "All") {
tfilteredPlants = trees.filter({( plant : Plant) -> Bool in
let doesTreeMatch = (scope == "All") || (plant.TreeShrub == scope)
if searchBarIsEmpty() {
return doesTreeMatch
} else {
return doesTreeMatch && plant.commonName.lowercased().contains(searchText.lowercased())
if scope == "Shrub" {
treeSearchController.searchBar.scopeButtonTitles = ["All Leaf Types", "Simple", "Compound"]
But now I want to match a different variable, call it Leaf, based on Compound or Simple being chosen, And I would like to filter again based on that. I could add a sequence of view controllers and segue between them, which would be messy but possible, but I was wondering whether there was a more compact approach.

Trianon dialogue expert discussion
Russian-French cooperation in education and science is characterized by a large number of joint educational programs, student and academic exchanges, and joint research projects. Both countries are implementing multistage projects to strengthen positions of universities in the international educational space, including projects aimed at development of education export. A promising format of international educational cooperation are network projects, as exemplified by the Russian-French University founded in 2016.
The initiative of the Presidents of Russia and France at their meeting on May 29, 2017 ushered in a new stage of cooperative development between the two countries in the form of the Civil Society Forum Trianon Dialogue. Science and education will be one of the key elements of this format, creating momentum to develop new projects.

In any economy, demography influences the country's economic potential and social institutions. Modern demographic trends are reducing the number of economically active people and, thereby, the employment potential of the Russian economy. At the same time, the non-working age population - children and the elderly - is increasing. In these circumstances, the dynamics and structure of household income inevitably change. Thus, modern Russia faces the challenge of maintaining and increasing demographic potential, optimizing the structure of the labor market and creating the conditions for sustainable growth of household income and its various groups, and, most importantly, reducing the extent and risks of poverty. And in turn, the welfare of the population has an impact on its demographic behavior and labor market activity. How can we find the social balance and achieve sustainable social dynamics in these basic social spheres?
Issues for Discussion:
- New stage of demographic policy: strengthening pronatalism and/or combating high mortality?
- Demography and the labor market: projections, risks, opportunities for regulation
- Can the projected growth of the economy and wages automatically ensure a sustainable rise in household income?
- Is it possible to halve poverty? Challenges for the system of social protection

The issue of the gas engine fuel market's development is still relevant for Russia as one of the world's leaders in gas production. In recent years, the discussion on finding a possible vector of market development has continued. In particular, on April 18, 2018, the President challenged the Government to elaborate and implement a development program for the gas engine fuel market.
The gas engine fuel market's development is a key element of the internal gas market's competitiveness, as well as that of the economy as a whole, due to: a) diversifying products and markets for the gas industry; b) the breakthrough nature of technologies; c) the significant socio-economic impact of developing the gas engine fuel production and distribution segment, and d) the environmental contribution in improving the quality of life in Russia, particularly in larger cities. Properly selecting the direction of the gas engine fuel market's development in Russia can help achieve the national objectives of development for the Russian Federation contained in the President of Russia's Executive Order No. 204 dated May 7, 2018.
Issues for Discussion:
- Gas engine fuel usages that are expedient to develop in Russia
- Analyze the current state of the Russian gas engine fuel market
- Dynamics of energy prices in the market development phase
- Effectiveness of developing the gas engine fuel market from social, economic and investment perspectives
- Evaluate the contribution to improving the ecological situation in large industrial centers

This discussion is dedicated to Russian and US income inequality two papers presented: one by Filip Novokmet, Thomas Piketty, and Gabriel Zucman (July 2017), "From Soviets to Oligarchs: Inequality and Property in Russia 1905-2016;" and the other, "American Exceptionalism in Market Income Inequality: An Analysis Based on Microdata from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Database," by Janet C. Gornick, Branko Milanovic, and Nathaniel Johnson (March 2017). One looks at inequality over a very long period, while the other looks at the roots of US "exceptionalism" through the prism of high inequality in the past 30 years.
Issues for Discussion:

- Do the presented papers provide a credible understanding of income inequality in Russia in the past and at the current moment?

Continuing professional growth is one of the basic principles of training for civil servants in most countries. In the context of constant changes in economic, technological, and social spheres, society is increasingly more demanding with regard to officials' level of training and professional skills. What should be the new formats for training and retraining civil servants, so that their skills and competencies meet the requirements and challenges of tomorrow in a situation where the traditional educational path (education that was received once and done) no longer works?
Issues for Discussion:
- Civil service: development vector
- What key skills for civil servants should be formed by new training programs: "hard" vs "soft" skills vs "corporate spirit formation?"
- Optimal training and retraining format for civil servants. What should the balance be between online and full-time education, short-term modular programs and "classic" off job ones?
- Who should be in charge of civil servant training: the educational community, "public administration practitioners," corporate "talent foundries" for civil servants, or public administration faculties in wide profile universities?
- Who should evaluate the training programs' effectiveness: the role of government agencies, universities, and international educational accrediting organizations in program evaluation
- Forming officials' national competencies models and international cooperation. Should international modules be included in national civil servant training programs? How can an effective training program for civil servants from other countries be created?

This discussion considers different generations' points of view on Russian society and the economy. Experts take notice of the impact that various generations can have on creating Russian history and elaborating specific research papers. The participants of this discussion will comment on generations that shaped the architectural design of cities, such as Moscow, that led the revival of social memories from World War II, inspired Russia's youth to study that war closely, and judged economic and social outcomes of various periods of history in very different ways.
Issues for Discussion:
- How did liberal perestroika ideas transform or remain unchanged in conditions of the higher education system's fundamental restructuring?
- Did the youth movements contribute to the understanding of various values from different generations?
- Have the memories that are important to Russians changed since the transition started in the mid-1980s?
- How did generational changes transform the way that Russian history in the period of market-economy transition is viewed?
- How did the lack of generational rotation in the 1970-s ("zastoi") in the Party hierarchies affect the crisis within the Communist Party and the USSR as a whole?

The active development of volunteering and social entrepreneurship has made a serious contribution to the formation of civil society in our country in recent years. In particular, the Volunteer's Year, which substantially increased the number of civil initiatives in our country, was conducted. A specific law to regulate such relatively new types of activities for our country, such as social entrepreneurship, is being discussed.
The further implementation of sustainable social initiatives in the form of social entrepreneurial projects will contribute to identifying and developing potential among socially responsible leaders. Such potential exists, specifically, among the youth that is becoming more and more prepared to implement significant social projects. As practice suggests, the experience gained from participating in social projects may be useful for further youth professional activities, not only in socially-oriented small business as such, but also in NGOs. Working on social projects also develops specific applied skills for effective recruitment in any commercial organization or public administration body.
Issues for Discussion:
- Can social entrepreneurship become an effective social elevator for youth? Can this social elevator work for target audiences - beneficiaries of social projects?
- Implementing social projects - temporary employment or vocation?
- What support measures for social entrepreneurship, including among youth, already exist and what new measures are required?
- Can participation in implementing social initiatives become a tool for building career trajectories in business and public administration?

The discussion focuses on issues of developing cooperation between Russia and the EU, such as searching for new approaches to the dialogue and constructing long-term, prospective relations, without which a mutually beneficial neighborhood is impossible. Many problems of the modern world affect both Europe and Russia, and this requires a joint search for ways to solve them. The issues related to demography and population aging, migration problems, and security and cyber security are all relevant for many countries' development. But at the center of the discussion is the main question: is Europe limited to the European Union, or does it stretch politically, culturally, and economically from Lisbon to Vladivostok?
Issues for Discussion:
- How can we meet the mutual challenge, i.e. the continent's aging from Lisbon to Vladivostok?
- Restoring trust by restarting an effective security dialogue
- Strengthening information security and cyber security in the Internet age

The Ranking of Innovative Regions of Russia was developed by the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia in 2012 together with the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation with the aim of monitoring and governance. Since 2016, the ranking has included 29 indicators; six qualitatively new indicators have been combined into a single semantic unit ("Innovative Activity in the Region"), considerably differentiate it from previous years' rankings. However, the three basic units' indicators of the ranking remain unchanged in order to monitor long-term dynamics in key development areas.
The ranking was based not on expert assessments, but on quantitative indicators, which makes it unbiased and well-founded. The ranking makes it possible to identify leaders in each component, and to show strengths and weaknesses in each region's development.
Keynote report:
- Roza Semenova, Project Manager, Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR)
RANEPA and AIRR, together with Interfax Group, present the up-to-date annual national report on the development of high-tech business in Russian regions, prepared based on SPARK and SPARK-Marketing systems data.
The research uses a system of indicators that take into account the conditions for developing technological entrepreneurship and high-tech development results in Russian regions. The system of indicators gives insight into profitable and successful regions in terms of doing business; indicators that were evaluated include: capital and labor resources, institutional environment, infrastructural security, and scientific potential of regions, as key conditions for developing high-tech businesses. The study also assessed the contribution of technological entrepreneurship in the GRP, creation of jobs, and budget formation. Comparing average regional values makes it possible to identify opportunities in each region's development.
The report enables monitoring the annual dynamics of high-tech economic sector development in the regions, which is important for well-thought-out political decisions.
The national report presentation will include: a showcase of major research results with explanations and comments, a consideration of alternatives for applying these results in regional development and planning, and an announcement on the future directions for the monitoring system's development.

Projektion-Mapping mittels Projektor › PsyCreator. Learn "3D" Projection Mapping, From the Start, with vvvv [Video] Arguably, democratizing a technique is an excellent way to improve craft.
(See: linear perspective in Renaissance painting.) So, why not do that with projection mapping? Here's the latest installment. Elliot Woods of Kimchee and Chips is one of the leading practitioners of the projection-mapping arts. He also gives away a lot of his tools (see GitHub, below). An Augmented Tree, and Free Tools Power 3D Voxel Projection — on Leaves Kinect-Augmented Reality, as Projection Mapping Meets Depth Sensing (Hint: It's Awesome) What's this "3D" thing about? Elliot is not only doing a workshop (see top), but has assembled a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough of the technique using free tools and the superb visual environment vvvv. Using ReconstructMe we rapidly scan a real world scene and export a 3D mesh file which can be used for projection mapping. You can check out a walkthrough video below, then try the whole tutorial (complete with files) on the vvvv site: Path files at GitHub.
10 projection mapping demos that will blow your mind! A few years ago video projection mapping was a fledgling artform, with a handful of noteworthy examples.
Now, no building opening, product launch, award ceremony, or birthday party worth its salt would be seen without a head-turning projection. Video projection mapping has the capacity to transform any object into a screen. Forget flat projection, as projection mapping has the ability to take a real-world object, such as a building, and project onto its walls without any distortion.
Events combine motion graphics, 3D animation, and an occasional dash of video that playfully highlights, deconstructs, rotates, recontextualises and generally manipulates a building's usual geometry. Scale awing Often site-specific, the best work enhances rather than effaces the architecture it's projected onto.
We've picked our favourite examples of projection mapping that you must see, ranging from micro projections on the petals of a flower, to an incredible display the full height of the Sagrada Familia. Video Projection Mapping. By HELMUT BREINEDER (mbox.de) For the recently re-opened Danish Royal Jelling National Museum m-box.de realised a projection mapping installation for the institution's mythology room (assignment and creative lead: Art+Com studios).Across several levels, outsized roots of the Yggdrasil tree – a legend in Nordic lore – served as projection surfaces for images, text and animations that bring the Viking mythology to live.
Here, twelve essential tales from the realms of cosmology, magical items, crossing realms and Ragnarok are staged across three trees using a combination of illustrative character animations and abstract motion design. Switches between themes and areas are underscored by atmospheric colour changes of backlit rear panels spread across the entire room.m box fleshed out the Art+Com storylines and brought them to life with details, designs and animations. In addition, m box brought in the m-wall media server to handle programming, feeds and on-site mapping adaptations. Team: H. FLxER - PERFORMING VIDEO NETWORK AND SOFTWARE.

Production on Spider-Man: Far From Home is done. Marvel and Sony successfully relaunched Spider-Man with Tom Holland playing the third live-action Peter Parker in 2016. His quick appearance in Captain America: Civil War set the stage for his solo movie Spider-Man: Homecoming to be a huge hit and fast track a sequel. The followup movie is coming out next year and is set minutes after Avengers 4. How Spider-Man is brought back to life in that movie remains to be seen, but he's going on an international adventure after.
Far From Home has been filming throughout the summer across the pond and just recently made the transition back to the states and the New York streets. No matter where production was set, set photos and videos were constantly making their way online. They've revealed Peter's Noir inspired suit and another black and red design, not to mention the first look at Mysterio's costume. These leaks are now going to stop since there's nothing left to film.

Tom Holland has been teasing all day that this is the last day filming Spider-Man: Far From Home. UPDATE: Holland has now made a post on Instagram confirming Far From Home has wrapped:
This marks the end of nearly a three-month shoot for Far From Home, which is pretty impressive considering the multiple locations they traveled to. Holland was the star of many of the set looks, but there's also been quite a few that focused on what appears to be a blossoming relationship with Zendaya's Michelle. Of course, Peter's other classmates, like Flash Thompson (Tony Revolori) and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon), are returning, with Ned's story possibly developing a major comic book relationship. New cast members like JB Smoove and Crazy Rich Asians' Remy Hii were not often the focus of the set photos, but both were present for much of production.
Now that director Jon Watts has finished filming his sequel, the interest of fans will turn from what the set revealed to when some official information will come. Holland's spoiler tendencies could mean fans are just a random (or planned) social media post away from learning more. Either way, marketing for Far From Home is expected to begin by the end of the year, and Sony could very well release the first teaser trailer in time to attach it to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's theatrical run. Between the trailer and maybe some first look images, the Spider-Man: Far From Home excitement will only continued to be fueled the rest of the year.

Dammam full of Eastern promise
Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province is being fired into life by ambitious plans for Dammam's international airport, as Alan Peaford reports.
For many years the airport at Dammam lay virtually dormant. Each year, barely four million passengers – mostly there for the oil and gas and other industrial ventures – passed through its terminal.
But things are changing.
Turki Abdullah Al-Jawini, chief executive of Dammam Airports Company (DACO), is convinced that the changing approach in the kingdom and the Eastern Province suggests that Saudi Arabia's third largest airport is on a roll.
"It wasn't until 2009 that the airport started to show positive trends," Al Jawini said. "Now King Fahd International Airport has grown from 4.7 million passengers to close to 10 million last year, with a double-digit annual growth rate, which is quite positive," he said.
But it is not stopping there. Dammam Airport Company is utilising international contractors and services businesses to capitalise on opportunities to ride the wave of an expected surge in passenger traffic as the kingdom invests in tourism and entertainment projects to transform its oil-reliant economy.
Al-Jawini is anticipating a further 6% growth in 2018 and more to come.
"We expect a great flow of tourist traffic as we are an eastern gateway into the kingdom and we expect to get a good portion of the new traffic," Al-Jawini said.
At the recent Airport Show in Dubai, Al Jawini signed a deal with Vanderlande to introduce a state-of-the-art baggage-handling system to improve the passenger experience. "We also have the first 'true concept' duty free store in Saudi Arabia, with international standards and recognised global brands," Al Jawini said. "We are recognising the growing number of international business travellers and visitors."
Al Jawini believes that expansion plans for the airport will see a doubling of retail space to around 25,000sqm. He expects passenger numbers to treble by 2025 to an estimated 30 million passengers a year.
DACO also signed an agreement with Serco Middle East to install cutting-edge fire and rescue services at the airport, as well as training services. Dammam is the first Saudi airport to utilise an international service provider's expertise in fire-fighting systems, and will help raise the airport's safety standards.
The company is also investing in expanding cargo operations
"The strategic location of Dammam Airport as an eastern gateway means it is perfectly situated to create a logistics hub," Al Jawini explained.
"Dammam is just a few hours by car to several capitals. Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar are all within driving distance. The business is there for the region. The largest companies – particularly oil and gas businesses – are close by. There are requirements for travel to many places in the world, and for goods."
Al Jawini believes tourism could also benefit the airport.
"The region is on the east coast. There are beautiful beaches and easy access to the capital. With government movement towards easing visa requirements, there will be great demand," he said.
Dammam was recently granted rights to bring Umrah traffic from South East Asia to Saudi Arabia via the airport, with transfers to domestic airlines to Jeddah and Medinah.
International airlines are also seeing the potential in King Fahd and now it has some 37 airlines serving 60 international and domestic destinations.
With Saudi Gulf establishing its main base at KFIA, Al Jawini sees a bright future for domestic growth too.
"About 45% of our passengers are domestic. People commute north to south, east to west for business, pleasure or visiting their families. With more Saudi operators coming in we are seeing increasing frequencies and capacity growth.
"We are very happy that Saudi Gulf is based in Dammam and anticipate that it will grow significantly to serve this region."
More land alongside the existing terminal has already been earmarked for expansion. "With another few projects we will announce this year, we can increase to 15 million. Then comes major expansion. Half the assigned terminal area remains unused; that will be a mega-project. We have to decide when we do require that space and then start construction accordingly."
One thing is for sure, Dammam will be ready to serve the growth.
