I plan on making more Scene 2D UI skins for the community and I think it will be quite tedious to make a thread for each one. I'll be posting them here and reposting my old ones as they are updated.
I've put these together using Skin Composer. You should give that a try if you want to see what styles are available in my skins or if you want to create your own!
See what I have planned and the crazy notes I take about skin ideas when I'm half asleep here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HP2 ... =drive_web
For my first submission, we have Expee UI. Relive the silver age of computing when operating systems were real operating systems! This skin has been inspired by the Windows XP OS. I created the images myself and they are not ripped from the source. This could be used as a fake desktop in a computer simulation or the base for something more advanced.

CitationLeykin, Igor, Ke Hao, Junsheng Cheng, Nicole Meyer, Martin R. Pollak, Richard J. H. Smith, Wing Hung Wong, Carsten Rosenow, and Cheng Li. 2005. Comparative linkage analysis and visualization of high-density oligonucleotide SNP array data. BMC Genetics 6: 7.
AbstractBackground: The identification of disease-associated genes using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been increasingly reported. In particular, the Affymetrix Mapping 10 K SNP microarray platform uses one PCR primer to amplify the DNA samples and determine the genotype of more than 10,000 SNPs in the human genome. This provides the opportunity for large scale, rapid and cost-effective genotyping assays for linkage analysis. However, the analysis of such datasets is nontrivial because of the large number of markers, and visualizing the linkage scores in the context of genome maps remains less automated using the current linkage analysis software packages. For example, the haplotyping results are commonly represented in the text format. Results: Here we report the development of a novel software tool called CompareLinkage for automated formatting of the Affymetrix Mapping 10 K genotype data into the "Linkage" format and the subsequent analysis with multi-point linkage software programs such as Merlin and Allegro. The new software has the ability to visualize the results for all these programs in dChip in the context of genome annotations and cytoband information. In addition we implemented a variant of the Lander-Green algorithm in the dChipLinkage module of dChip software (V1.3) to perform parametric linkage analysis and haplotyping of SNP array data. These functions are integrated with the existing modules of dChip to visualize SNP genotype data together with LOD score curves. We have analyzed three families with recessive and dominant diseases using the new software programs and the comparison results are presented and discussed. Conclusions: The CompareLinkage and dChipLinkage software packages are freely available. They provide the visualization tools for high-density oligonucleotide SNP array data, as well as the automated functions for formatting SNP array data for the linkage analysis programs Merlin and Allegro and calling these programs for linkage analysis. The results can be visualized in dChip in the context of genes and cytobands. In addition, a variant of the Lander-Green algorithm is provided that allows parametric linkage analysis and haplotyping.

10 years subsequent to tobacco being expelled out of Britain's bars, club houses as well as eateries, tobacco use within that nation have achieved a most reduced at any point in their history, demonstrates recent investigations.
We currently have almost two million less tobacco users within our nation contrasted and while this tobacco boycott got presented ten years ago, as indicated by these most recent numbers by the regional researching group in the United Kingdom which doubles as a philanthropy.
Sans smoke legislation had some of greatest impacts on general wellbeing in the course of the most recent decade.
"And in addition shielding individuals from the savage impacts of aloof tobacco use, we've additionally observed huge improvements within broad daylight demeanors against tobacco usage. It's presently very lesser collectively satisfactory as well as trust that it implies fewer youngsters towards the habit having this sort of possibly deadly compulsion," the research included.
Last year we had the expected over eight million existing grown-up tobacco users within the British Isle. Ten years ago we had the expected ten point two million ebb and flow grown-up tobacco users within the United Kingdom, some distinction around the two million mark, as per estimations from a Statistics Information unit in sarcoma investigations within the United Kingdom.
Further investigations churns out more numbers
Another survey from the sarcoma investigation in the United Kingdom from over four thousand, three hundred individuals likewise uncovered how not too many individuals needed looking towards days of yore as well as permit tobacco use within encased open locations.
Just twelve for each penny remained supportive on switching their sans smoking legislation, these outcomes appeared to reflect.
The vast majority felt this tobacco boycott as becoming certain, lone 8 for each penny believes the changes didn't have any effect on their habit whether open areas were allowed or not.
A score for each penny from tobacco users stated this boycott did help in chopping low the quantity of cigars being smoked, in addition to the great fourteen for every penny from former smokers acknowledge that their boycott for assisting their quitting through and through.
Right around 4 of every ten (thirty-eight for each penny) individuals crosswise over the regions trust this boycott to have likewise shielded their cutting edge out of resuming the smoke.

MILAN, Italy — Furla, the Italian handbag and accessories maker, generated revenue of €499 million (about $615.6) in 2017, an increase of 20 percent at constant exchange from €422 million in 2016, confirming consumers' enduring appetite for accessible luxury brands.
Sales of the family-run company, which sells its Metropolis shoulder handbag for approximately €326 ($403.4), rose 12.9 percent in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), its key market, accounting for 46 percent of total turnover. In Japan, its second-largest market, sales were up 15.4 percent, while the US saw an increase of 9.6 percent. The biggest growth, however, came from the Asia-Pacific region, where sales surged 50 percent.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) in 2017 rose 34.1 percent with respect to the previous year. The company did not give a figure for core profits.
"The organic sales growth confirms that the company is on solid financial ground [and] our widespread growth across all markets reflect our efforts in further strengthening our distribution network," said Alberto Camerlengo, who was appointed chief executive in 2017.
Furla, which makes the majority of its goods in Italy, is currently present in 100 countries and operates 467 mono-brand stores worldwide (including 253 directly owned), compared to 444 in 2016. The brand plans to capitalise on its EMEA success in 2018 by opening stores in Frankfurt, Berlin and Dusseldorf in Germany and Prague in Czech Republic as well as Las Vegas, Miami and Los Angeles in the United States.
The company's growth last year was also bolstered by strong travel retail sales, which saw an increase of 14.5 percent in 2017 compared to the year prior, and its investments in digital marketing across all channels, from social media to e-commerce. This includes the conception of its first digitally led campaign 'The Furla Society,' which launched last November and reinterprets handbags from the brand's Cruise 2018 collection as characters in a bar setting. (Each character reflected a bag, from bold and colourful, to confident and sassy, to dark and mysterious.)
"It was very well received," said Camerlengo of the campaign, which was implemented on Facebook and Instagram, where the brand saw year-on-year follower growth of 120 percent. Meanwhile, a localised Chinese campaign was launched on WeChat, boosting the brand's follower count to over 1 million.
The Furlanetto family launched the first collection of Furla-branded handbags in the 1970s and the brand has since become known for its minimalist style. However, the label still trails its middle-market counterparts such as Longchamp, which recorded €553 million ($642.5 million) in sales revenue in 2016, and Tapestry-owned Coach, which net more than $1 billion in sales in 2017.
Furla has been working for a Milan listing after signing an agreement with Tamburi Investment Partners (TIP) in 2016, but delayed its plans to go public last year. Camerlengo had no update on the timing of the proposed listing.

We have a number of changes in our Delis this month!
Willy North
Willy North now has a made-to-order sandwich counter. It took us a little longer than planned to get this done. We know you've been waiting for sandwiches—we made over 20,000 of them for you at Willy East and Willy West last year! Thank you for your support of our sandwich making! We will be adjusting the Willy North menu again in the fall, so let us know what you like about it and what could be different.
Willy East
As of July 1st, 2018, we will be closing down our made-to-order pizza program. Why are we doing this? In 2014, we were looking for ways to increase our offerings at the Willy East Deli. At first, we had a wide vision of what we would produce with our new oven. As the realities of operation came home to roost, we realized we could really only get pizzas done regularly and done well. Over the years, we've grown pizza sales by more than triple, which is great! Unfortunately, it still hasn't proved to be enough to cover the costs of running the oven and staffing for it. We will be expanding the sandwich menu at Willy East to ensure you will still have many delicious lunch options an—later this month—serving pan pizzas from time to time on our hotbars. Our pizza dough, sauce, and cheese will continue to be available for sale in our Grab-n-Go for making great pizzas at home.

There's no elevator to success, take the stairs!
Here's a thought for you today! Just in case you are tempted to spend this year looking for the short cut or the elevator to get you to where your heart desires; can I save you some time and suggest you take the stairs. Stairs are your friend in 2016, each step you take builds more strength into your story.
The staircase will teach you the value of journey and the lessons in your progress. Yes climbing stairs can be tiring and at times tedious but it's the way you sustain the very things your dreaming of attaining. Anything that flings you forward can also throw you backwards. Stairs keep your momentum consistent and the ground you gain becomes established. Don't waste months or more years of your life trying to leap where you should learn to climb. Don't wish away your days, when you can take the same energy and take more steps. God will promote, bless, bring favor but I have found that always happens for me on the staircase that I have already committed to take. He can bring you new landings you weren't expecting, amazing opportunities at different levels, new relationships as you climb. These are all things you miss in an elevator, that only has one direction and often no view of anything greater than its own confined space.
The elevator only teaches you how to press a button, limiting your capacity inside its own ability. The elevator decides your journey and limits who can get in with you at any floor without your approval. If all you're concerned with is arriving then sure the elevator may appeal, but if your desire is to achieve great things then the staircase is your friend. So maybe renew your commitment to those stairs this year. Let the steps you take be the success you seek and you will find you go a lot further than you thought possible. See you on the staircase!

What's a person to make of all these mixed messages?
When the data requirements of an organization change, the databases used to store the data must also change. Unfortunately, today's database systems do not make managing database change particularly easy.
Most organizations, whether public or private sector, are facing exponential increases in the amount of information and data that they need to continuously track, manage, and protect to ensure organizational success, continuity of operations and long-term viability. While many attackers still focus on denial of service attacks, cybercriminals often target the database because that is where sensitive information resides that would interest someone looking to steal credit card information or personal identities

The data integration status quo is predicated on a model of data-at-rest. The designated final destination for data-at-rest is (and, at least for the foreseeable future, will remain) the data warehouse (DW). Traditionally, data of a certain type was vectored to the DW from more or less predictable directions—viz., OLTP systems, or flat files— and at the more or less predictable velocities circumscribed by the limitations of the batch model. Thanks to big data, this is no longer the case.

However, the number of records stolen from them remains at near record highs. IBM security researchers report that in 2014, cyber attackers still managed to steal more than 61 million records from retailers despite the decline in attacks, demonstrating cyber criminals' increasing sophistication and efficiency. Ironically, while Black Friday and Cyber Monday were identified as the two biggest shopping days of the year by IBM's Digital Analytics Benchmark, cyber attackers reduced their activity across all industries on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, rather than taking action.
It is no secret that we are in the data age. Data comes at us from all directions, in all shapes and sizes.Incumbent vendors and startups constantly add new features, build on top of emerging open source projects, and claim to solve the next wave of challenges. Within the Hadoop ecosystem alone, there are (at least) 11 Hadoop-related open source projects. Making sense of it can be a time-consuming headache. To bring clarity and peace of mind, here are the top 5 big data predictions for 2015 and beyond.

As data volumes continue to grow rapidly, ways to store and analyze data more efficiently and cost effectively are being explored. More than 50% of organizations surveyed by Unisphere Research in August 2014 reported that they currently use cloud-based services. Another study found that the number of big data projects being planned or in production will triple over the next 18 months. As the worlds of big data and cloud computing converge, many businesses have begun to look for ways to utilize both together to create competitive advantages for themselves.
Registration is now open for Data Summit 2015, providing the opportunity to connect with the best minds in the industry, learn what works, and chart your course forward in an increasingly data-driven world. The event is designed to offer a comprehensive educational experience designed to guide attendees through the key issues in data management and analysis today.

IBM released its z13 box, configured to tackle the challenges of the growing mobile app and cloud economy. Yet, much of the world - even the IT trade press - greeted the announcement with the same reaction it has delivering for the past 20 years - that is, surprise that the mainframe is still such a commanding presence.

SOA Software, a cloud services management vendor, announced an updated solution that provides broader support for API description languages including RAML, Swagger, WSDL, and WADL. The vendor's API Management platform now supports for multiple API Description Languages (API DL), intended to help enterprises secure, manage, and monetize APIs described in RAML, Swagger, WSDL, or WADL. "API DL languages are still evolving - new languages are emerging and as of now, there is no clear leader," said Alistair Farquharson, CTO of SOA Software.

The general trend towards sportswear, as growing numbers of consumers engage in regular exercise and sporting activity, is a particularly prominent feature of footwear. As well as purchasing sports footwear for use in sport and exercise, consumers are becoming increasingly drawn to the comfort it provides in everyday wear.
Women's footwear remained the dominant category in footwear throughout the review period, accounting for more than 70% of overall footwear value in 2018. As with other categories, demand in women's footwear is being influenced by the athleisure trend.
Although men are becoming more fashion-conscious in Singapore and this is exerting a growing influence on demand in men's footwear, male consumers still tend to purchase products within the bounds of sports footwear, focusing on products such as the latest releases from Nike and adidas. Nonetheless, the growing willingness to purchase products for their fashionable status and not simply their functionality is leading to male consumers owning a greater number of pairs of shoes and, as a consequence, men's footwear is expected to be the most dynamic footwear category over 2018-2023.
Charles & Keith remained the leading player in women's footwear in 2018, as it successfully targeted fashion-conscious Asian women with a wide range of products, including basics, workwear, evening and party footwear, tailored to local demand. The company's strength is supported by an extensive store network in the Singaporean market, as well as an internet retailing site that provides exclusive online offers.
Bata was the fastest-growing player in the Singaporean footwear market in 2018, having revamped its VivoCity store with a new modernised concept and launched the "Me & Comfortable With It" campaign during the previous year. Bata is the third largest player in the overall footwear category and a top three player in women's, men's and children's footwear, achieving value share growth in every category in 2018.
Already benefiting from the trend towards sports-inspired footwear, Skechers looked to bolster its strength in the Singaporean market through the establishment of new partnerships in 2018. These included the opening of a new concept store at the Suntec City shopping centre, as part of a new franchise partnership with Trendz 360, a major distributor and retailer of sports and lifestyle footwear, in 2018.

Composer Ramin Djawadi Discusses 'Game Of Thrones' Live Concert Experience Coming To BB&T Center
South Florida will turn into the world of Westeros and Essos at the BB&T Center on Sept. 22, as the "Game of Thrones" Live Concert Experience comes to the stage.
The event features "Game of Thrones" composer Ramin Djawadi, and will take the audience through the seven kingdoms spanning the seven seasons of the critically acclaimed series.
Djawadi will lead the orchestra, choir and soloists through the concert, which will will include new music and footage from season seven, as well as a new stage design and visuals that differ from the previous tour of the "Game of Thrones" Live Concert Experience.
We spoke with Ramin Djawadi to discuss the tour, his career, what it's like to compose music for film and more. Highlights from our conversation are below.
How do you create an immersive experience for the audience during the "Game of Thrones" Live Concert Experience?
The big thing for me was to try to create what I call a hybrid show. I wanted to take orchestral, instrumental music but create more of a show around it. "Game of Thrones" led itself to that really well.
For example, we have dragons on the screen, so I thought, "Well, why not when you play pieces where we see the dragons, they have [pyrotechnics] on the stage? Or why don't we simulate some snow that's falling down?" Things like that I thought would drag the audience deeper into the scenes and into their favorite show, reliving the scenes. That was always my intention—to really create that feeling of being in Westeros. The stage takes on different feelings and shapes and visuals that do all these things and emotionally, while you listen to the music, it visually gets enhanced as well. That was always the plan.
What was your reaction to the news of your Emmy nominations for "Westworld" and "Games of Thrones?"
Oh, it's absolutely incredible. It's an honor to be nominated, you know. Also, with these fellow nominees, there's so much talent out there and it's incredible to be recognized with a nomination like that. Both those shows are just incredible shows and I feel very fortunate to be a part of both of them.
What is your favorite song from "Game of Thrones" to perform on stage and why?
That's kind of tough. They all kind of do something different. But if I had to pick one, I want to say it's "Light of the Seven." That's the piano organ piece from season six. There's a couple pieces where I don't conduct the orchestra myself, where I actually play an instrument, and that's one of the pieces where I play myself. I play the piano, and there's a runway on the stage, so I'm actually deeper in with the audience out front. That's always a very special moment when I'm out there and performing this piece.
What's your process of composing songs for "Game of Thrones" and other film projects?
I always start with conversations with my director or producer. Before I write anything, I want to try to get into their head and explore what their vision is. Most of the time, they always come with ideas. They might be very excited about a certain instrument that they feel I should try and use with possible [songs], and they have feelings for certain characters about how they want the music to sound, be portrayed emotionally.
Then, my job is to actually put that into notes. I just love getting all that information and then being creative with that and translating that into music. With "Game of Thrones," I do get the episodes and then I watch it together with the show runners. We discuss the actual scenes together and where the music should start and stop. Then I get to sit down and write about it all, and then play it back for them and then we discuss further. So, that's always the process in writing music.
What do you take into consideration about plots and characters when you're creating music for film?
I always look at the music as storytelling. That can be underneath the dialogue, or when there's no dialogue then the music can come more in to the foreground, but it's always telling a story. It's always subconsciously supposed to enhance what the audience is meant to feel. I think that's the fun of being a film composer is that you really can guide the audience and create emotions that you might not be aware of when you watch the show. When there's a big action scene you really create the action music to that. It just enhances that scene. Or when there's an emotional scene that you write, a nice love theme, that just does something for you while you see and hear the show.
I'm really strongly guided by the plot all the time and the characters. "Game of Thrones" is a great example because there's such great character arcs of how these characters develop and how things change. The ups and downs of that show is really a beautiful thing to paint with the music and to enhance that.
Who is your favorite character on "Game of Thrones" to create music for?
I don't know if I have one. I always try to treat them as if they were all my children and I have to treat them all equally. They are all quite different. It's nice to musically jump around. Most of them have different instrumentation with them. It's quite versatile of how I get to then color the music, but yeah I try not to have a favorite at all.
When did you first know you wanted to become a film composer?
Very early on. I've always done music and started when I was 4 years old. As a teenager I really discovered that the music I was writing, I was always drawn to the instrumental music. I will write songs but I will not write lyrics. I don't feel like I'm very articulate with words enough. I'm much more comfortable with notes and music and that people will just listen to the music and have their way of interpreting of what it makes them feel. As a teenager I just discovered that I really have a knack for instrumental music and orchestral music and hybrid music and all those things that kind of happen in film music. From then on, I knew that's what I wanted to become so I really set out to do what I do now.
What has been the most memorable part of your career thus far?
Oh, boy. I don't know. I'm living my dream because I always wanted to do this job. I think off the top of my head, if I have to answer something quickly, it's the first time when I was standing in front of an audience and orchestra, and the music that I had written and sketched out on demos, and on the computer, and on paper… and to hear it performed live, I think that might have been maybe the most memorable thing.
It is such a special feeling, and I still have that today every time when I work on a project and when it then gets performed and recorded finally with real musicians. It just brings it to another level when it's actually played by musicians and they put their feelings into the music and interpretation. That is my favorite part on every project that I do.
Is there anything else that our readers should know about the concert?
Because this is the second time that we're touring North America, I think one important thing is for people to know that we have completely redesigned the stage. We have redesigned the lighting, and also we have added music from season seven. I feel like it's an updated show enough from what it was last year so it's now current with the same number of seasons we have.
Storytelling wise, it is a great summary from season one through season seven and it really gets you prepped for season eight. For people that don't watch "Game of Thrones," it's a great crash course on what "Game of Thrones" is all about, and for the fans that love "Game of Thrones," they get all the highlights of all seven seasons. For people that may have seen the show (the concert) last year, it is quite a different show now. Hopefully it's exciting for them to actually come back and see an updated show.
Tickets for the "Game of Thrones" Live Concert Experience can be purchased here.

Breast MRI
Breast MRI is a highly sensitive noninvasive test which examines the inside of the breast through hundreds of images. There is no compression or flattening of the breast during this exam and there is no radiation exposure.
MRI of the breast is not a replacement for mammography or ultrasound imaging but rather a supplemental tool for detecting and staging breast cancer and other breast abnormalities.
Medical studies are currently being conducted to determine whether MRI and other imaging methods can contribute to the early detection and prevention of deaths from breast cancer.
MR imaging of the breast is performed to:
· assess multiple tumor locations, especially prior to breast conservation surgery.
· identify early breast cancer not detected through other means, especially in women with dense breast tissue and those at high risk for the disease.
· evaluate abnormalities detected by mammography or ultrasound.
· distinguish between scar tissue and recurrent tumors.
· determine whether cancer detected by mammography, ultrasound, or after surgical biopsy has spread further in the breast or into the chest wall.
· assess the effect of chemotherapy.
· provide additional information on a diseased breast to make treatment decisions.
· determine the integrity of breast implants.
The patient lies face down on a special breast MRI table which allows her breasts to hang through an opening which will allow the MRI to provide very detailed images of each breast. A simple IV line is established beforehand to allow injection of a type of contrast which will help the radiologist determine whether there is an area in the breast which is suspicious for cancer. The IV is needed to give a special type of MRI contrast called gadolinium. Breast cancers typically have a rich blood supply, so tumors "light up" on MRI. It is this contrast that makes MRI more sensitive in cancer detection than mammography. Allergies to this type of dye (which is different than "x-ray dye") are extremely rare. The patient must be able to lie still, and the exam takes approximately 30 minutes.

MAASTRICHT. Maastricht University needs a new caterer or caterers in 2020. The project team behind the tender is using roadshows to gather input from the entire university community. Observant is following the project closely. In this second edition, the project team is operating on both sides of the Maas – in Randwyck and at the School of Business and Economics.
The setup of the roadshows is the same as it was last time at the law faculty: participants discuss their ideas in small groups, which are then put on large sheets of paper, after which each group gives a brief presentation and the ideas are listed according to their importance.
A few remarkable ideas came from the Randwyck show, such as selling a basic vegan meal to which people can add meat or cheese at a surcharge. One idea reached the top of the list: allow students to cook for other students in the university kitchens a few days a week. This is already done in Canada. It saves money and creates a sense of community. Second and third place went to promoting healthy eating and reducing waste.
A proposal that didn't reach the top 3, but was mentioned frequently, was 'more variation'. They also liked the sound of that at SBE: a food court with varying assortment took third place there. There are different ways of organising this. The UM could, for example, opt for several small caterers or one large caterer for the basics, supported by the local catering industry for smaller, more specific components. The tender is completely open and anything is possible.
What they also want to see at SBE, is a good price/quality ratio – a roll should be cheaper at uni than at a local sandwich bar in town. In addition, they would also like the Kruithuis to be used more often by students – let them, for example, man the bar again when the weather is nice. The present caterer Albron, for that matter, had already planned this. From next week, students will run the Kruithuis every Thursday evening (from 17:00 until 22:00hrs).
