Law enforcement also confirmed there is no threat and all students and staff are safe. Elmore City-Pernell administrators are cooperating with local law enforcement as they continue a precautionary investigation on this situation. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any concerns. I can be reached at 580-788-2565. As always, the safety of our students and employees remains our top priority.

We had a lockout at the HS this morning. This is not a cause for concern and is a part of our operating procedure at ECPHS. The lockout merely kept students in class and delayed a class change while we conducted a sweep of the parking lot and school grounds using a K-9 officer. At the conclusion of the sweep, the lockout was lifted and the school returned to normal routine. The sweep is a part of a cooperative relationship between the Elmore City-Pernell School District and the Elmore City Police Department. The goal of this sweep is to search for illegal narcotics, weapons, or other contraband. Such sweeps are conducted at random and with very little advance notice. The safety and security of our students is a top priority. Internet and social media rumors of any other situation that may have occurred at the high school are false, misleading, and irresponsible and should be discounted.

Because of unforeseen scheduling problems caused by our girls playing in the district softball tournament at Ninnekah, we have been forced to move the date of Homecoming. In the past, these softball games are played earlier during the day, but this year the schedule is such that our girls will play at 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm on Thursday night, Sept. 26, the night of the parade. On Friday, Sept. 27, our girls have the possibility of playing at 2:00 or 4:00 pm which would make it impossible for them to get here for coronation ceremonies. Because of this, Homecoming has been moved from Sept. 27 to Oct. 11. The homecoming parade will take place on Thursday, October 10th at 7:00 pm. We will still have a home HS Football game the night of Sept. 27 vs. Dibble. Kickoff is still scheduled for 7:00 pm.

France's data regulatory authority has ruled US giant Google must scrub European users' data from its servers worldwide and not just in Europe, if a consumer requests the right to be "forgotten".
The French court is following the European Court of Justice's 2014 ruling outlawing "out of date, irrelevant or inflammatory data".
For the last year the major search engines have begun to comply with users' privacy requests, under certain criteria, and unevenly. Google has been notable for only applying the ruling to its European sites.
EU data protection watchdogs, many legal experts, and former German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, who has advised Google on privacy following the European ruling, think it should be global, although the company insists each ruling should apply to each market.

It may seem that board games are becoming a thing of the past, as most kids these days would rather play video games or apps. As parents, we can use this technology to help our kids learn and develop skills that they will be able to use in our tech-driven world.
The new Mojobot is the world's first tangible coding robot and board game that makes it easy for adults and kids to learn the core principles of coding and robotics.
Mojobot is a multiplayer game where players compete to undertake Missions and earn star points. It is equipped with many features such as lights, sounds, sensors, motion, and actions. Mojobot can even pick up tokens, carry them around and deliver them to different locations. It allows kids to get away from the screens and have a hands-on experience learning a valuable skill while having fun at the same time. And the best part is that the whole family can enjoy it together – it's great for ages 4-99+.
The Mojobot is available now for backing on Kickstarter. The Mojobot Basic Kit includes the Mojobot robot and the Main Console as well as the coding tags, cards, tokens, storybook, map, and charging cables. You also have the option to purchase the Mojobot Extension Kit which will get you an extension console, logic coding tags, additional cards, a book, and a paper origami box.

14 Oct Island Kiss | Organic & Flirty Lip Care!
Hello everyone!
I'd like to share with you a new brand ————> Island Kiss. Island Kiss is an Indian brand based in Goa. At present, they have 3 variants of organic lip moisturizers.
The outer cardboard packaging is fun and has a vintage look. There is a tube inside each box with the same design as that of the flavour. The squeezy tube looks colorful and cheeky. Island Kiss packaging is reminiscent to that of brands like theBalm and Benefit.
The lip balms have a slanted tip applicator that can reach the corners. It is also hygienic as we don't have to dunk our fingers. Instead, we can apply the balm directly onto the lips.
Just note to wipe the mouth of the tube after each usage.
The lip balms have a creamy base like Vaseline consisting mainly of kokum, avacado and mango butter. These lip balms are petroleum free, non- toxic and organic.
They are loaded with the goodness of beeswax, carrot seed oil, castor oil, vitamin E oil and macadamia nut oil.
These lip moisturisers spread easily on lips and leave a nourishing feel. Each flavor has a tint to it. I accidentally licked them and was surprised by their sweet taste! They contain a little artificial sweetener.
These lip moisturisers contain essential oils and hence turns out to be very hydrating. It is powerful enough soothe and soften dry chapped lips. These lipbalms provide a good slip so I think it is a good idea to use them solely. Incase you want to layer them with any lipstick, make sure you use a tiny amount. These lipbalms contain SPF 15.
The three variants are :
- Cherry Blossom Flores ( Bunny Pink)
- Alma Vanilla & Inges Lavender ( Birth Suit Nude)
- Puerto Berry Blush ( Berry Cheeky)
Cherry Blossom has a pale pink tint to it and washes out my lips. I mean, it adds a milky touch if your lips are pigmented. As a result, I prefer to use it in my night skincare routine.
Alma Vanilla & Inges Lavender has a lavender tint in tube but it goes clear on lips and is transparent.
Puerto Berry Blush is my favourite due to its bright red tint.
All these lip balms smell yummy and fruity. They do not feel greasy or heavy!
Alma Vanilla and Cherry Blossom Flores are priced at Rs 399 while Peurto Berry Blush costs Rs 499. Each tube holds 14g of the product. These lip balms are 100% natural. These are worth the price tag !! Highly Recommended! Buy these online from http://www.myislandkiss.
Usage Instructions- Squeeze with love and caress onto lips until they soften. Enjoy baking in the sun! Feel free to lick your lips and savor the taste of your Island Kiss.
About Island Kiss Alma Vanilla & Inges Lavender- The heartwarming, luxurious pairing of vanilla and lavender aims to intoxicate your senses, relax your lips and calm your mind, conjuring an atmosphere of island excess and feverish soothing. Its organic SPF nourishment enhances lip soaking in the sun while you are carried far away by the scent of warm vanilla sugar.
Ingredients: Tropical Kokum and Avocado Butter, Organic Beeswax, Stevia, Organic Carrot Seed Oil, Pure Castor Oil, Rich Vitamin E Oil, Organic Macademia Nut Oil, English Lavender Essential Oil, French Vanilla Essential Sugar Oil, Natural Organic Colour.
About Island Kiss Puerto Berry Blush- Imagine sitting by the pool and eating lemon-strawberry sorbet. Your lips are tart, a bit stained – if you apply it several times – and fresh as if you've brushed your cheeks against a shrub. It is zippy, flirty and will satisfy lovers of colour.
Ingredients: Tropical Kokum and Avocado Butter, Organic Beeswax, Stevia, Organic Carrot Seed Oil, Pure Castor Oil, Rich Vitamin E Oil, Organic Macademia Nut Oil, Citrus Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, Natural Organic Colour.
About Island Kiss Cherry Blossom Flores– Creamy like cherry petals and dewy like water droplets on the first blossoms of the orchard, the floral facet of cherry blossoms creates a luxurious, sensuous, composition of soft pink island lips. Its organic SPF nourishment enhances lip soaking in the sun and snow.
Ingredients: Tropical Kokum and Avocado Butter, Organic Beeswax, Stevia, Organic Carrot Seed Oil, Pure Castor Oil, Rich Vitamin E Oil, Organic Macademia Nut Oil, Japanese Cherry Blossom Essential Oil, Natural Organic Colour.

1 review for Active Exfoliant Powder
I like how this starts out as a powder and I can add water to make it into an exfoliating cream. Sometimes when I need a heavier exfoliation I use a little bit of extra powder to make it extra scrubby. But it usually feels quite nice and you don't need a lot of powder to feel the exfoliation working. I find it usually lasts me quite a while. I don't need it every day, usually every few days is perfect to clean up the dead skin and the clogged pores I get from wearing makeup a lot. GM Collin is a great brand and I buy a lot of their products.

Bunch, a batch app launcher for your Dock - BrettTerpstra.com🔒 brettterpstra.com

Bunch is an app version of that, and has some fun additional features. A fun project that Brett Terpstra has added to his list.Posted on May 14, 2019 →

There are several treatments for diminished eyelashes. These include camouflage techniques, surgical therapy, and medical therapy such as Latisse ®.
Camouflage techniques include mascara, eyelash perming, and eyelash extensions that are glued to your existing eyelashes or to your eyelid skin.
Surgical therapy includes transplantation of individual hair follicles into the eyelids. This is a fairly meticulous technique whereby hair follicles are harvested from one area on the scalp, then isolated into individual follicular units. These follicular units are then inserted into the eyelid skin in a precise manner to control the angle and direction of hair growth.
Latisse ® (bitamoprost 0.03%) is a topical agent for lengthening eyelashes. It is the first and only FDA-approved, science-based treatment that has been clinically proven to actually grow noticeably fuller, longer, and darker lashes.
Latisse ® works by lengthening the growth phase of the hair follicles of each eyelash. By prolonging the growth phase of the eyelash follicle, the eyelash hair grows longer, fuller, and thicker as seen in the Before & After split face photo below.

It can also help participants understand that synergy is not easily achieved. Read More

Automotive Diagnostic OBD2 Scanner
Starting within the late 1700's, European engineers began tinkering with motor powered automobiles. The Model T grew the automobile business quickly, which in turn led the opposite industries of metal, rubber, leather and paint to grow rapidly as effectively. As European nations have been strengthening mass transit methods, individualistic Americans invested within the automobile infrastructure. It only reconfirms that it isn't the one technology that has helped to make or remake cities.
The Oldsmobile's brake became a typical for many automobile producers, though it was deeply flawed. The convenience of the automobile freed individuals from the need to stay close to rail lines or stations; they may choose places almost anywhere in an urban area, as long as roads have been out there to attach them to other locations. Although it was the main target of a lot interest, the automobile all through the nineteenth century was a novelty relatively than a symbol of standing. With Henry gone, William H. Murphy renamed the 'Henry Ford Company' to the 'Cadillac Automobile Company'.
My cousin to whom I even have sent these photos will likely be very concerned about what you could have found out relating to my grandfather driving a Brewster bodied automobile. Below is a desk of some automobile firsts, compiled from information in Leonard Bruno's guide Science and Technology Firsts (Detroit, c1997) and ThoughtCo.'s History of the Automobile. Please be aware that this manner of accessing our vehicles is new and that a few autos have not but been outfitted with this new expertise (we're engaged on it). By signing up you conform to receive electronic mail newsletters and notifications from MIT Technology Review. Workers relied heavily on mass transportation during the conflict and longed for the freedom and adaptability of the automobile.
As a results of this, the Automobile engineering was seen leaning in the direction of a low price of manufacture and still making excessive-class automobiles. Initially, when the manufacture of automobiles was in its initial phases, and the Ford Motor had dominated the automobile business, manufacturing and sustaining the request by customers was identified to be the main downside. Two automobile lines emerged as the ultimate in standing and refined taste – Rolls Royce and Bentley.
Automobile has transcended from being a medium of transportation to a medium of leisure after the arrival of tremendous fast vehicles competing against each other. During this specific time, Ford Motors, and General Motors had by then developed and by then had dominated the automobile trade. Kiichiro Toyoda's determination to take Toyoda Loom Works into automobile manufacturing would create what would eventually turn out to be Toyota Motor Corporation , the most important automobile manufacturer on this planet. Honda is producting now at 34 automobile manufacturing operations in 18 nations and territories. The century's biggest invention or advancement should positively belong to the automobile trade. The early history of the automobile could be divided into quite a few eras, based on the prevalent means of propulsion.

Cut Copy - "Where I'm Going" by Some Kind of Awesome
Boston Phoenix OTD repost: On Friday, Australian dance-pop trio Cut Copy unveiled their new single "Where I'm Going" for free download through their website, and beyond an hour-long avalanche of re-tweets and Facebook posts, buzz kinda died out rather quickly. Maybe everyone was too busy TGIFing it up.
But it was mildly surprising, as the stand-out tracks and their eventual remixes from 2008's sterling In Ghost Colours album — "Lights & Music," "Hearts On Fire" — can still be heard most indie and electro clubs from here to Melbourne. I mean shit, this is the new Cut Copy jam we just got, and the weekend's almost here!
But something odd happened on the way to the dance floor. While everyone was ready to get sweaty under strobe lights, the dudes in Cut Copy changed course and hit the bar instead.
"Where I'm Going" — intended as a teaser track from January's as-yet-untitled new album — is probably the best Britpop song in at least a decade. It's far more sing along in the pub than make out on the dance floor, and its tumbling rhythm, sunshine-pop melody and fist-pumping "yeahs" and "woos" recall that sorely missed era mid-'90s UK guitar rock. Shit, if Select Magazine or Melody Maker were still around they'd be posting blog-gasms felt all the way from Haywards Heath, carefully positioning the Cut Copy boys to be the next great faces of a new era of Lad Mags.
Fitting for a jam that recalls Britpop, the track is insanely catchy, rife with traces of Cast, Shed Seven, and even a mascara-mod touch of the late, great Menswe@r. Sure, it's all quite a departure from the band's previous synthed-out electronically-hinged sound, but it's also the sign of a band ready to evolve and re-define themselves. You certainly can't be the Presets forever, you know, and the Britpop sound is ripe for a comeback. Even if it comes from the land Down Under.
Download it via the above link, or listen to it on Soundcloud.

Two famous Connecticut families have their names enshrined on buildings and roads. Both are back in the news for different reasons this week.
Paul Manafort - a son of New Britain, where a road bears the name of his father, businessman and mayor Paul Manafort - has been indicted on charges linked to the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. He's now become the central figure - maybe the first of many - in Robert Mueller's probe into the Trump campaign.
This hour, we consider what's happened so far - and what's next. And, we'll consider the story of the Sacklers, whose fortune was built on the backs of the highly addictive opioid, Oxycontin - that's the subject of a big New Yorker piece this month.
And, what are some realities now that Governor Malloy has signed the state budget?

For the first time in the history, the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to a musician, which took the world by surprise, including the musician himself. In 2016, Bob Dylan is named the holder of the Nobel "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition". For two weeks, the press heard nothing but complete silence from Mr. Dylan who, as it became known later, said he would not be present at the ceremony either.
Bob Dylan, always known for his unshakeable views on the subjects of politics, social life and so on, has been one of the brightest figures in the world of music for 5 dozen years already. Today we are gathering a few memorable facts from Bob Dylan's music, life and career to refresh knowledge/find out more on the man whose contribution has been recognized and rewarded by the Nobel Committee.
Below is a short compilation of the most interesting facts about this outstanding man of music art – the elusive figure of Robert Allen Zimmerman (Bob Dylan's real name):
Dylan, however, does not like to be called the voice of the generation, preferring to keep a rather obfuscated identity.
Bob Dylan is a unique, versatile and prolific artist. He never stops playing music, performing in over a 100 concerts annually, which is a part of his so-called "Never-Ending Tour" that he embarked on back in the 1980ies (by the way, he learnt about the unexpected Nobel Prize while on tour too). Having already explored most of American Song traditions from folk, country and blues to gospel and rock'n'roll, he keeps embracing music. And we wish him to have an even longer journey.
Apart from being the motherland of some of the world's most famous opera composers like Rossini, Verdi and Puccini, Italy holds another title in the list of musical phenomena birthplaces. Today's traditional Italian weddings and national celebrations rarely come without the favourite accompaniment of this passionate people – tarantella. Traditionally an iconic dance/song, it also overflew into the instrumental music of many composers of the Romantic period.
Tarantella, often called 'the song of Italy', varies by region. So the Neapolitan, Calabrian and Sorrentine examples may differ in style, but what they all have in common is the fast tempo, rhythmic and lively.
Like with many historical phenomena the real roots of which are already hard to verify, the term 'tarantella' has a number of versions regarding its origin and purpose. The most ingenious and picturesque theory blames the wolf spider 'tarantula' (not same as the contemporary species) that inhabited the area near the Italian town of Taranto. According to the legend, the bite of that little creature was very poisonous and people believed that frenzied dancing in a special rhythm would rid the body of the dangerous venom that should go away with the sweat. There are even 'testimonials' that Middle Ages fiddlers would walk the surroundings in search of people who had been bitten by tarantulas and offer them their service of playing the cure-song and fighting off the death.
According to other sources, the popularity of the tarantella mass dance, with all of its hectic moves, could have been partly explained by the special 'herbs' in combination with the rhythmic music that drove people insane and that eventually raised the authorities' concern and the subsequent ban of the practice. Some say that the spider version was invented afterwards in order to get this ritual back out of the underground.
There's a more 'medical' version too. Simple: tarantella was used to cure depressions, you dance – you regain the joy of life as people watch you self-express in a rhythmic dance show. Later on, the dance itself was often performed as a courtship dance, though it could be seen danced both by couples and solo females.
No matter what the initial purpose of the dance was, what we have today is a beautiful national tradition and a number of amazing classical music works that were born inspired by it. Let's have a look at some of them.
The ancient tarantella dancers would usually move to the beats of mandolin, accordion, guitar, and, most importantly, tambourine that helped to create the most perfect rhythmic pattern. With the flow of time, composers would add more instruments (piano, violin, flute, clarinet) and experiment with style, some making the sound more frenetic and daunting (Schubert's "Death and the Maiden Quartet" and Mendelssohn's "Tarantella" from his Symphony No.4), while others preferred sticking to the traditional sound and the rhythm of 6/8 (Rossini's Neapolitan "La Danza"). Below are some of the most notable tarantellas (the sheet music to all of the compositions is available in our catalogue).
Giacomo Rossini, "La Danza". One of the most 'classical' works of the kind.
Louis Moreau Gottschalk, "Grande Tarantelle". The piece was transcribed for various combinations including, piano solo, piano and violin, two pianos, two violins and piano, piano and orchestra.
Frédéric Chopin, "Tarantelle in A-flat, Op. 43". Inspired by and similar to Rossini's "La Danza".
Franz Liszt, "Tarantella, Venezia e Napoli". No. 3 from the set of 3 suites for piano "Années de pèlerinage" (Year 2: Italy).
Camille Saint-Saëns, wrote a separate "Tarantella, Op. 6 in A minor" (flute, clarinet and orchestra/piano) and also used this form in the 2nd movement of his "Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor".
Some of the most popular guitar tarantellas were composed by Santiago de Murcia and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, while for violin – by Pablo de Sarasate ("Introduction and Tarantella") and Karol Szymanowski ("Nocturne and Tarantella").
The list of classical compositions, be it a separate music work or a tarantella embodied in a symphony, is a long one. Above are just a few examples of this well-recognized Italian folk feature. The references to tarantella are also to be met in other forms of art like literature ("A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen) and cinema ("The Godfather").
At MusicaNeo, you can also get acquainted with the modern vision of the famous Italian dance song: this type of music is popular among contemporary composers who write tarantellas of their own.
The creative work of Eugen Doga can truly be called "people's". Many know him by the music from such motion pictures as "Offered for Singles", "Bless the Woman", "Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven", "Vertical Races", and, of course, by the famous waltz from the film "My Sweet and Tender Beast" named by UNESCO one of the four musical masterpieces of the 20th century. His music sounds everywhere, literally.
Eugen Doga, composer, academician, public figure, pedagogue, People's Artist of USSR and Moldova
On the first day of spring 2016, Eugen Doga turned 79. By this time, a long and fruitful way has been walked, hundreds of instrumental compositions written, film music (over 200 films), music for choir, stage and radio plays composed. The ballets "Luceafarul" (that brought its author a USSR State Prize), "Venancio", "Queen Margot" and the opera "Dialogues of Love" are very popular up to date. Children always recognized Doga's melodies from the films "Maria, Mirabella" and "What Senka Said". It is Doga's music that sounds at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1980 Olympic Games.
Eugen Doga is a well-known academician (of eight academies), People's Artist of USSR and Moldova, Honored Man of Art of Moldova, the holder of numerous honorable prizes, titles and awards. Among them, the orders "For Merit to the Fatherland, IV degree", "The Star of Romania", "Patron of the Century", the golden medal "Man-2000", the medals of M. Eminescu and V. Rozov. And this is only a small part of the long list of the composer's rewards.
We asked Eugen a few questions about his creative life and can't wait to share with you what the famous composer told us.
When did you realize that music was something more than just a hobby for you?
"I don't quite understand when some people show that they know everything about themselves, people who fix everything, provide arguments, adjust things to the calendar pages from the past. I do not, perhaps with regret, attribute myself to such a category. I remember that instinctively I wanted to create something when I was just a little boy. However, what I came up with had already been created before me. When I listened to the local wind orchestra, I wanted to think up something, a musical tale they would play, and people would dance to that music and praise me. I even invented my own recording system for those "musical tales". And only not so long ago I found out that a similar 'tale' with sheet music exists in computer programs. And that's after more than 60 years since that time, when the word 'computer' did not exist yet! Today I cannot imagine myself without thinking up those 'musical tales', without composing music. Probably some crater opened up in me at a certain moment and pours out the energy that has to be released into the world. In the form of music."
Where do you seek inspiration for composing? Who influenced your music style?
"Inspiration does not come out of nothing. It has to be helloed, it has to be desired. That inspiration is not likely to come with a beautiful lady. It has to be sought within oneself. If one, of course, has been gifted by nature with this unique inner source of inspiration that is called the talent. As for my style, the one I envisioned at the beginning when I had just started composing was based on my desire to write simple and beautiful music. I liked Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, then began listening to the modern Neo-Romantics of Italy, France and England. At a certain point I was keen on serialism but soon plumped for the Romantic style with engaging my genetic roots that I was often reproached for but that shouldn't be feared."
What's the 'dark side' of composing for you? Have you encountered any serious obstacles on your creative way?
"And who would like to share his/her space, especially with some young unknown musician? And especially in a small country town that doesn't have much of that space in general? My compositions were never performed at the composers' festivals and plenums. I wasn't invited to the trips abroad. And only thanks to the cinema, mostly to the "Mosfilm" studio and other USSR studios, I got heard and noticed. And thanks to the listeners on the radio station "Mayak", central TV, at my numerous concerts and creative sessions. I know that no matter how dark is the night, it will be swallowed by the Sun anyway. So I'm trying to follow the Sun and ignore the shadow that's daddling behind me. Even if it's my own shadow."
Many compositions by Eugen Doga have already been living a life of their own. Thus, the song from which, in fact, his career of a composer-songwriter started – "My White City" – first became the symbol of Chisinau, and in 1998 was declared the official anthem of the Moldavian capital. Two waltzes composed by Doga – "Gramophone" and "My Sweet and Tender Beast" – got into the Top 200 best classical compositions of all time.
The Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu occupies a special place in the heart and creative work of Eugen Doga. It is upon his poem that Doga's famous ballet "Luceafarul" was created. All in all, over 40 romances were written based on the poems by Mihai Eminescu and his beloved woman, Romanian poetess Veronica Micle. The couple also inspired composer for creating the concert opera "Dialogues of Love".
Do you have any favorites among your own compositions? Maybe some of the works are especially important to you? Why?
"I don't contemplate my compositions for a long time. Mostly only after writing the music score. That's when I carefully look at the notes, the way they are placed on the pages of the music paper, the way they are grouped, just like soldiers on the battlefield. Believe it or not, I like everything that I write. I simply don't write what I don't like. What I especially hold dear is the large-scale works that have real drama in them, powerful human passions, a bigger opportunity to set forth all you are capable of, a deep philosophic idea. Those are the ballets "Luceafarul", "Venancio", some arias and cantatas upon the poems by Mihai Eminescu and Veronica Micle, such as "Nu plânge" ('Don't Cry') and "Am urât această lume" ('I Hate This World')."
What are your plans for the future as composer?
"Writing music for the big and, it seems, endless music work "Dialogues of Love" which is based on the poems by Romanian poets Mihai Eminescu and Veronica Micle. It will presumably become a theatrical musical performance, or an opera, or a musical, or something else, I am not sure, as my heroes do not quite fit into the traditional forms invented years ago. I will look for something different for them. I will also continue the concert work and will extend its geography."
It seems that Eugen does not stop his creative search for a single minute, and we wish him to go on this way. We are happy that the sheet music to the diverse music works by Eugen Doga adorns our catalogue. We invite all admirers of his music to visit the composer's personal site at MusicaNeo. Here you can follow the recent events in the author's life, his concert activities and, of course, download the sheet music to the favorite works.
MusicaNeo is grateful to Eugen Doga for taking time to answer our questions and wishes him new creative altitudes and discoveries!
Continuing the series of spotlight articles about the most prominent composers of MusicaNeo community, we invite you to read about the Swedish composer, arranger and singer Anders Edenroth.
It would be difficult to speak about Mr. Edenroth without centering the story around the vocal ensemble The Real Group where he is the founder and an indispensable part. So a tangible part of this article is going to be dedicated to the creative work of this outstanding quintet. But first let's focus on Mr. Edenroth and see how he started his music career.
Anders Edenroth, Swedish composer, arranger, tenor singer, music producer and founding member of The Real Group
Anders Edenroth was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Two things designated his musical way from the early childhood – playing piano and singing. Choir singing was Anders' major during the 10 years of studies at Adolf Fredrik's Music School. Later the studies in this field continued at The Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm where Anders spent another 5 years studying music. It is in the academy where he met the future members of The Real Group and it's where he realized that music would now become his lifework:
"When I was a student at The Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm 1984-89 I met with other young and devoted musicians that inspired me to aim for a career in music. At this time, I also formed a five-part vocal ensemble The Real Group with some fellow students. This became my occupation and I still tour worldwide and write a major part of the scores for the group."
The fellow-musicians, already members of the recently formed a cappella ensemble The Real Group, went all together for a special post-graduate course finishing it with flying colors. That's when the real journey of the real group began.
By the way, the behind-the-scenes of the group can be watched at their YouTube channel 'therealgroupdotse', where the ensemble leads a vlog and posts videos from both concerts/festivals and rehearsals.
Anders Edenroth has written most of the scores for the group's repertoire. He also was the producer of some of the albums they released. We asked Mr. Edenroth about the other side of the coin, the dark side of composing and the effort it takes to be one. Where does he find the strength and, most importantly, the inspiration for composing?
"Inspiration often comes by chance. It could be a book I'm reading, an interesting conversation with a friend, a strong emotional experience of any kind. When I get these ideas I quickly write them down with a short description of how it came to me. I later use this creative scrapbook when I sit down and compose.
The biggest challenge to me as a writer is the time it takes. I'm becoming more and more thorough every year. Especially my lyrics take many hours to finalize. But throughout my artistic life I have always found things to write about and I'm still curious to see what the next unwritten song will be about."
Anders is a busy musician. Besides the favorite quintet, he works with other bands, orchestras and vocal groups as composer and arranger, trying to experiment with the new vocal rhythms and textures. He produced albums for other musicians and wrote music for TV, commercials and shows. A few times he was awarded grants from The Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs and STIM, Swedish Performing Rights Society.
Singing and composing aren't the only activities, though. Anders Edenroth has also been an active keyboard player (Jazz and Pop), and his music workshops during the festivals and international tours are attended with much interest.
At the personal site of Anders Edenroth at MusicaNeo and in our sheet music catalogue you will find the original a cappella music scores written for The Real Group. Both choirs and vocal groups can get here a few interesting works to sing. The level of difficulty ranges from the easiest to advanced, therefore, every performer can pick something relevant. Some of the popular pieces include the group's Jazz/Bossa classic "A Cappella In Acapulco" and the popular early-years song "Chili con Carne" that is now frequently picked by musicians for performing at various music competitions worldwide. Here you can also download the artist's arrangements of popular music standards, like the 1st movement of Mozart's Symphony No. 40 ("Gee! Mine Or Mozart's?"). "The World for Christmas" has become the group's manifest of the concern for the environmental protection.
At the moment, Anders Edenroth lives in Stockholm and keeps performing as a full-time singer in the group. He also goes on composing music for his quintet.
"I will continue to write scores for The Real Group but I'm also expanding my work as a commission composer and arranger. Every ensemble has its own unique expression that I try to capture in my scores."
According to the musician, were it not for music, he might have become an inventor. Problem-solving and cooking are among Anders' other non-musical interests. By the way, cooking often reflects in his works: take the playful comic jazz piece "Pass Me The Jazz" piece, for example.
We wish Mr. Edenroth and The Real Group further creative success and new achievements on the vocal music arena!

Applied Mathematics Seminar-The synchronization problem for Kuramoto oscillators and beyond
Title: The synchronization problem for Kuramoto oscillators and beyond
Speaker: Javier Morales
Affiliation: University of Maryland
Date and Time: Friday, December 7, 11:10am-12:10pm
Place: Phillips 736
Abstract. Collective phenomena such as aggregation, flocking, and synchronization are ubiquitous in natural biological, chemical, and mechanical systems--e.g., the flashing of fireflies, chorusing of crickets, synchronous firing of cardiac pacemakers, and metabolic synchrony in yeast cell suspensions. The Kuramoto model introduced by Yoshiki Kuramoto is one of the first theoretical tools developed to understand such phenomena and has recently gained extensive attention in the physical and mathematical community. Moreover, it has become the starting point of several generalizations that have applications ranging from opinion dynamics to the development of a human-made interacting multi-agent system of UAVs and data clustering. In this talk, we will review the state of the art for the synchronization problem of the Kuramoto model at the kinetic and particle level. Additionally, we will introduce new developments and variational techniques for the dynamics of this model and some of its variants and its generalization.
