Lime (material)

Lime is a calcium-containing inorganic material in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides predominate. Strictly speaking, lime is calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. It is also the name of the natural mineral (native lime) CaO which occurs as a product of coal seam fires and in altered limestone xenoliths in volcanic ejecta. The word "lime" originates with its earliest use as building mortar and has the sense of "sticking or adhering."

These materials are still used in large quantities as building and engineering materials (including limestone products, concrete and mortar) and as chemical feedstocks, and sugar refining, among other uses. Lime industries and the use of many of the resulting products date from prehistoric periods in both the Old World and the New World. Lime is used extensively for waste water treatment with ferrous sulfate.

The rocks and minerals from which these materials are derived, typically limestone or chalk, are composed primarily of calcium carbonate. They may be cut, crushed or pulverized and chemically altered. "Burning" (calcination) converts them into the highly caustic material "quicklime" (calcium oxide, CaO) and, through subsequent addition of water, into the less caustic (but still strongly alkaline) "slaked lime" or "hydrated lime" (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂), the process of which is called "slaking of lime".

Saber Marionette J

Saber Marionette J (セイバーマリオネットJ, Seibā Marionetto Jei) is a Japanese anime produced by Hal Film Maker, aired on TV Tokyo from October 1, 1996 to March 25, 1997. It is the second installation of the Saber Marionette line of series, preceding Saber Marionette J Again and succeeding Saber Marionette R. The show was localized in North America by Ocean Productions and into six other languages by various companies.

In between production, Saber Marionette J made transitions in other media. A manga serialized in the Kadokawa Shoten magazine Dragon Age was circulated from October 1996 to November 1999, collected into five volumes by the company. A concurrent radio drama was broadcast and the show's original soundtrack was published by Kings Records. The show was also the basis for a PlayStation fighting game called Saber Marionette J: Battle Sabers, developed and published by Tom Create.

Lime (singer)

Kim Hye-lim (hangul: 김혜림; born January 19, 1993), known by her stage name Lime, is a South Korean singer, composer, rapper and dancer. She is best known as being the main dancer, main rapper and sub-vocalist of South Korean girl group, Hello Venus. Lime debuted on May 9, 2012 together with the other Hello Venus members.

Career

Pre-debut

Lime was part of a training program, called Pre-School Girls, that would eventually become a member of sister group After School, but was chosen to be the member of Hello Venus instead. She was also in the pre-debut line-up of a girl group called Viva Girls; consisting of several members including Nine Muses member Kyungri, Kiss&Cry member So Yumi, and Dal Shabet member Woohee. However, the group disbanded and each girl left the company.

Lime wrote the rap lyrics of Scotch V.I.P's song "Finale" and also was a backup dancer for Chaeyeon. She also recorded a song called 'Listen To Me' with South Korean actor and singer Lee Jung. She also appeared in Honey Family's song "Drama Of Reverse" (역전의 드라마).

Replicant

A replicant is a fictional bioengineered or biorobotic android in the film Blade Runner (1982). The Nexus series of replicants are virtually identical to an adult human, but have superior strength, agility, and variable intelligence depending on the model. Because of their similarity to humans, a replicant can only be detected by means of the fictional Voight-Kampff test, in which emotional responses are provoked; replicants' responses differ from humans' responses. NEXUS 6 replicants also have an in-built fail-safe mechanism, namely a four year lifespan, to prevent them from developing empathic cognition and therefore immunity to a Voight-Kampff machine. A derogatory term for a replicant is "skin-job."

Origin

Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the inspiration for Blade Runner, used the term android (or "andy"), but director Ridley Scott wanted a new term that did not have preconceptions. As David Peoples was rewriting the screenplay he consulted his daughter, who was involved in microbiology and biochemistry. She suggested the term "replicating", the biological process of a cell making a copy of itself. From that, one of them (each would later recall it was the other) came up with replicant and it was inserted into Hampton Fancher's screenplay.

Replicants (album)

Replicants is the debut and only album from Replicants.

Reception

Although Replicants have a large fan base, the album was not regarded as a great success, and was seen as

"not a total and utter trudge-fest, finding a weird balance between the relative exultance of the original, and the band's own mock metal heroics, adding in a bit of woozy semi-shoegaze psychedelia at the end." - Allmusic

Replicants (band)

Replicants was a four-piece American rock band, consisting of Ken Andrews, Paul D'Amour, Greg Edwards, and Chris Pitman, which has been on hiatus since 1996. The group has only released one album, a self-titled cover album, in 1995. The band's name comes from the verb 'To replicate', or 'To copy', making fun of the band's status as "a tribute band".

Origin

Some months after Paul D'Amour left Tool, where he played the role as the bass player, he joined Chris Pitman, a keyboardist, and Failure members Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards. The four decided to restrict their work to covering songs by famous bands active in the 70's and the 80's.

1996

During the months of 1996, the band decided to follow different paths. Ken went on to perform as a solo artist, while Chris, Greg, and Paul joined Brad Laner of the band Medicine to form Lusk, which put out one album, Free Mars. The three have now moved on to other projects.
