« Review: An Hour to Kill
Batman: The Complete Animated Series (Blu-ray Review) »
Teen Titans GO! To The Movies (Blu-ray Review)
November 1st, 2018 by Brandon Peters
While some think DC is taking some time off this year from their cinematic output with "just" Aquaman at the tail end of the year, many forget they've actually put out two movies this year. Don't forget the Teen Titans jumped from the small screen to the big one this past summer. While it didn't light the box office on fire (I was hoping it would!), it still tripled its budget at the box office. It also opened to some of DC's best reviews for ones not named Wonder Woman. Speaking of, she, her Justice League cohorts and the majority of the DC Universe do appear in this movie. You'll be able to check it out if you missed it or just add it to your collection when the film arrives on Blu-ray this October 30th. Well, that's already come and gone, but you order yourself a copy from the Amazon link below.
It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies everyone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously super villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!
I wouldn't say its a "best kept secret", because its a hit show, but there are probably many adults that don't realize what a fantastic show Teen Titans GO! is. Perhaps you're a parent that isn't paying attention or taking part in the "kid's shows" your little one like. Here's a hot tip, their shows are some of the most genuinely funny ones on television right now. Cartoon Network is LOADED with them. Teen Titans GO! is just but ONE of the gold being spewed. Its not just Adult Swim that brings big belly laughs on the network (Disney XD has some gems, too). One quick sitting and you'll see these shows are actually made with the potential that you're watching too in mind. Quick aside jokes, nostalgia and more are all aimed at you because there is no way your kids are fully understanding it. Maybe this movie is a coming out party.
Robin, Raven and company's big screen foray keeps up with the outstanding comedy, pop culture call-outs and super hero fun poking elements that fuel the show's constant flame. There are many aspects and points in the film that are covered or have been covered on the show before, but for a beginner, its going to create some instant fandom. Someone who has never experience the Teen Titans before is going to become an instant fan and the already converted are going to see it as business as usual. Though, not a steep hill to climb, you can easily call this one of the best films in the DC universe.
Surprisingly, the narrative of the film is actually pretty solid. There are some clever turns and some screamingly obvious ones (Which the movie does acknowledge). Overall, its really cool to see how it actually plays out. its colored by some fun action sequences that are well animated and directed. Adding to that, we get terrific musical numbers that are both catchy and hilarious. Once again, it really gives one a good taste and sampler of what the television show has already done. STILL, that is not a complaint, because this stuff from the show manages to amuse me every time. And the film still contains some very shocking and gut busting funny bits (The time travel montage has some fantastic material).
Encoding: MPEG-4 AVC
Layers: BD-50
Clarity/Detail: Its funny, with all the DCAU movies they keep churning out lackluster 4K Ultra-HD releases, Warner Bros didn't toss this theatrical release on the format. Not that it matters, just amuses me. This Blu-ray presentations is the toppest of notch. The image is sharp, crisp and features good animation details with no cracks appearing. Colors pop and radiate off the screen in this presentation.
Depth: While this is basically flat 2D flash animation, it still has some 3-Dimensional appeal to it and the motion works out rather smoothly.
Black Levels: Blacks are just solid and do a good job of sharp outlining and the animation on shading is pretty good as well. No crushing witnessed.
Color Reproduction: Colors are vivid and popping off the screen very lovely here. Purples, magenta, reds, blues, greens…you name it. They are very bold and while vibrant they do not bleed.
Flesh Tones: N/A
Noise/Artifacts: Clean
Audio Format(s): English 5.1 DTS-HD MA, English 5.1 Dolby Digital Descriptive Audio, French 5.1 Dolby Digital, Spanish (Latin American) 5.1 Dolby Digital, Portuguese 5.1 Dolby Digital
Subtitles: English SDH, French, Portuguese, Spanish (Latin American)
Dynamics: Teen Titans GO! To The Movies features a pretty rock solid 5.1 track that has a nice circular environmental experience. The only complaint is that the volume is set a hair lower than your default setting. This is a pretty booming experience once its turned up. Its a well balances and layered mix featuring strong effects, vocals and musical output.
Low Frequency Extension: The subwoofer its some good deep moments on explosions, blasts, crashing and the bassline in the score and songs in the film.
Surround Sound Presentation: This track is super fun and has no problem doing cool unique things with the rear channels. There are cool unique instrumental moments during musical numbers that are distinct and intricate. Motion accuracy is fantastic and the actions sequels really give a 360 degree appeal.
Dialogue Reproduction: Vocals are clear and crisp. Some of them feel obviously from a separate recording studio/setup (Stan Lee in particular). No matter, its fine as is and sounds terrific.
Teen Titans GO! To The Movies comes with the DVD edition and a digital copy of the film.

Teen Titans GO! To The Movies is a terrific little cinematic foray into the Cartoon Network show's world. It is a solid enough for fans and a great introduction for newcomers. This Blu-ray features a pretty top tier presentation and is complimented by some fun extras. This is a solid pick up if you're looking for some fun comedic poking at all states of the DC Universe. Its pretty cool that in 2018 we are getting animated excursions with the DC characters (Their second actually in as many years, as last year saw LEGO Batman) and the Spider-Man ones.

'Burying The Ex' Trailer: Anton Yelchin Is Haunted By His Former Girlfriend
By Russ Fischer/April 6, 2015 1:30 pm EST
Burying the Ex is the latest film from director Joe Dante; it's a horror/comedy that sets up a big metaphor for being unable to escape the problems of old relationships. See, Max (Anton Yelchin), is having a difficult time with his girlfriend Evelyn (Ashely Greene) — much more so after she is killed and returns as a zombie. See, he just wants to move on, but with the living dead lass around, his old relationship is literally threatening to kill him. Check out the Burying the Ex trailer below.
Trailer via Voltage Pictures. There's no US date yet for Burying The Ex, which will hit the States in summer 2015 thanks to Image Entertainment.
BURYING THE EX follows Max (Anton Yelchin), an all-around nice guy, and his overbearing but incredibly beautiful girlfriend, Evelyn (Ashely Greene). Their relationship takes a nosedive after they decide to move in together and Evelyn turns out to be a controlling, manipulative nightmare. Max realizes it's time to call it quits, but there's just one problem: he's too afraid to break up with her. Fate steps in when Evelyn is involved in a freak accident and dies, leaving Max single and ready to mingle. Several weeks later, he has a chance encounter with Olivia (Alexandra Daddario), a cute and spirited girl who just might be his soul mate. But that same night, Evelyn returns from the grave as a dirt-smeared Zombie and she's determined to live happily ever after with Max ...even if that means turning him into one of the undead.

Balkinization: Is Belief in Natural Law An "Embarrassment?"
Is Belief in Natural Law An "Embarrassment?"
Kevin Drum opines that Justice Thomas is an embarrassment because he believes in a natural law theory of the Constitution. Thomas Kannawitter, by contrast, argues that Thomas is a great Justice because he believes in a natural law underlying the Constitution that comes from God and that does not change.
I don't think that one's position on natural law matters one way or the other about whether one is doing one's job as a judge well or badly. The real question, it seems to me, is what you think natural law ideas mean for Constitutional interpretation as a practical matter.
Kannawitter seems to assume that belief in natural law is the same thing as belief in original understanding which is belief in the conservative opinions that Justice Thomas espouses, and he further assumes that disbelief in natural law (which he equates, mistakenly with legal realism) is equivalent to belief in a living constitution, which is equivalent to belief in lefty positions on constitutional issues.
He is wrong to assume this. It's quite possible to take the view that the best interpretation of the Constitution is one that which comports with natural law, and that the Framers' understandings are defective, because the Framers supported a wide variety of practices that are inconsistent with natural justice. Similarly, it's entirely possible to believe in natural law and in the idea that the application of moral principles must change with changing circumstances, and hence, that the best interpretation of the Constitution must also change accordingly. Finally, it's possible to be a legal realist about the mechanics of judging-- that is, that judicial decision is inevitably influenced by surrounding historical, political, and social conditions, and that judges are sensitive to underlying facts rather to abstract doctrinal formulas-- and still believe that the best interpretation of the Constitution is one which conforms to one's notion of what natural law requires.
So if Clarence Thomas is, indeed, an "embarrassment," or, to the contrary, a great jurist, it's not because he (a) believes or does not believe in natural law; (b) embraces or rejects legal realism; (c) adheres or does not adhere to original understanding as the touchstone of all constitutional interpretation; or (d) believes that the best interpretation of the Constitution changes or doesn't change over time. For all of these positions can be held (and have been held) by constitutional interpreters with very different political views.
Having seen his work over the course of more than a decade, I have no reason to think that Thomas is appreciably better or worse in terms of his lawyerly skills than many other Justices who have sat on the Supreme Court. The positions he takes are often quite striking, almost to the point of being "off-the-wall," but sometimes ideas once thought "off-the-wall" become orthodoxy later on depending on how the political winds blow. If I have an objection to him, it is that his constitutional vision is very different from mine, and so I think he interprets the Constitution in ways that lead to very unjust and uncalled for results. I think his arguments are often wrong and his assumptions misguided, but that does not make him an embarrassment. It makes him a powerful person who is using his power to move the law in what I consider to be the wrong direction. I would oppose appointing more Justices to the Supreme Court who agreed with him not because they believed in natural law, or original understanding, or disagreed with legal realism, but because they would be likely to push the practical meaning of the Constitution in very unjust and inappropriate directions.
Thomas is an embarassment for the same reason the early 20th century natural law jurists were embarassments: as soon as their formalist ideologies conflicted with their political views, the formalism vanished.
"General propositions do not decide concrete cases. The decision will depend on a judgment or intuition more subtle than any articulate major premise. But I think that the proposition just stated, if it is accepted, will carry us far toward the end. Every opinion tends to become a law. I think that the word liberty in the Fourteenth Amendment is perverted when it is held to prevent the natural outcome of a dominant opinion, unless it can be said that a rational and fair man necessarily would admit that the statute proposed would infringe fundamental principles as they have been understood by the traditions of our people and our law."
Could the same not be said about Thomas in Grutter v. Bollinger? Years of originalism and yet not a single word on the race-affirmative measures clearly intended by the Congress which adopted the 14th Amendment, but instead pious quoting of Frederick Douglass. Bush v. Gore, as I'm sure I don't have to remind you, is yet another example. Years of formalism and federalism, and suddenly the Supreme Court is fine-tuning the intent of the Florida legislature to match their expectations.
Non-formalist judges, whether pragmatic or of another philosophy, do not have this problem. Does that mean they refrain from interjecting their politics into their decisions? Not necessary--but the damage when, say, Breyer goes with an arguably less efficient outcome is far less than when Scalia openly contradicts his own philosophy. The former results in questionable caselaw; the latter undermines public confidence in the rule of law and results in an incomprehensible, arbitrary constitution.
What is natural law? How well is natural law defined? What are its sources? Has natural law evolved over the centuries? Who determines today what constitutes natural law? The Oxford Handbook of Jurisprudence & Philosophy of Law edited by Coleman and Shapiro starts off with John Finnis' "Natural Law: The Classical Tradition" followed by Brian Bix's "Natural Law: The Modern Traditions". Can these chapters be relied upon for an understanding of natural law? Or are there other readily available resources defining what is natural law? I feel like I am in the middle of a course on Hermeneutics. Do we start with the Declaration of Independence in considering natural law as underlying the Constitution, whether as coming from God or otherwise? Or perhaps the Old and New Testaments? Where is Justice Holmes when we need him?
Natural law means certain self-evident Truths, grounded in nature and ascertainable by man's reason, unaided by Revelation. Some of these are that we have certain unalienable rights: life, liberty, property, equality, conscience, the pursuit of happiness.
There are different understandings of what natural law is. Many would argue that Finnis's is biased towards a Thomistic, hence a Catholic viewpoint, whereas our Founders represented more of an Enlightenment understanding that attempted to break with the traditional Christian understanding of nature.
The God part is played up a little too much. "Nature's God" may have given the rules, but they are ascertainable wholly by man's Reason, not by Revelation. That deserves to be stressed.
Natural law need not be 'self-evident' though the Declaration does speak of self-evident truths. One view that seemed to me interesting is that "natural rights" are those that arise from our natures.
"If man were a creature of the State, the analysis would be correct. But neither the Bill of Rights nor the laws of sovereign States create the liberty which the Due Process Clause protects. The relevant constitutional provisions are limitations on the power of the sovereign to infringe on the liberty of the citizen. The relevant state laws either create property rights, or they curtail the freedom of the citizen who must live in an ordered society. Of course, law is essential to the exercise and enjoyment of individual liberty in a complex society. But it is not the source of liberty, and surely not the exclusive source.
I had thought it self-evident that all men were endowed by their Creator with liberty as one of the cardinal unalienable rights. It is that basic freedom which the Due Process Clause protects, rather than the particular rights or privileges conferred by specific laws or regulations."
He reaffirmed this thought in later cases and articles. What follows from this principle is unclear, though it might suggest a libertarian viewpoint that Justice Thomas does now and again suggest is different from the views of Justice Scalia. See, e.g., Troxel v. Granville (parental rights).
The characterization that Justice Thomas could somehow be an "embarrassment" to someone depends on who the someone might be. I suppose his mother, his constitutional law professor and the President who appointed him to the Supremes might legitimately claim a right to be either embarrassed or alternatively made proud by his professional performance. The rest of us don't fall into that category. So it would seem odd to apply that term except that in our racially permeated society, black people are burdened with the expectations of white people that they perform a certain way. Many a Supreme has been a lesser judicial light than the pantheon of great justices. I am not embarrassed by Justice Thomas. I am afraid of him and the cohort of gender biased judges and legislators of which he is a member. That is quite a different characterization.

GOOD THRU DATE is a group made up of three artists who have been in the JPOP/JROCK scene for a while. Vocalist Haru is known for one of the theme songs for BLEACH and is in the band UNIVERSE, guitarist Tetsuri was in the band DR. Undy and their DJ and second vocalist Ren was in the band Megimimi Sleep Tight. A couple of months ago they decided to work together and start a band and they recorded a couple of songs. The reason behind their bandname is very simple, THR stands for the members' names and the U in THRU stands for YOU, the fans. Their EP released in November and they had a tour in Europe in February and March to promote their new EP "I'll be there". Hitting their tour off in France, followed by the Netherlands and Belgium. They even got the chance to play at the famous convention Made in Asia in Belgium.
GOOD THRU DATE performed in (selfproclaimed) 'Otaku' shop Special Edition in Dordrecht on March 1st. Special Edition is a shop which specializes in selling almost anything Japanese. Think of Manga, Anime, Magazines, CDs, Figurines, Clothes, Snacks and drinks. They also have an online shop where you can buy various items. For the occasion they opened up the space in the back of the shop and built a really nice podium for GTD to perform on. This space filled up with a lot people for the show, even more than the organisation had expected but where I was standing to watch the show there was a constant stream of people passing through the crowd. It was really annoying and I wasn't the only one with those thoughts. It was the first show ever in this shop so let's hope they learned from it. The accoustics were nice and the lighting wasn't all that bad either for this kind of space. They also had a bar where you could buy drinks!
The show started around 8 o'clock, introduced by Kimberly from UKnight first before they rushed onto the stage with loud cheers from the crowd, launching immediatly into their first song that had many dancing and bouncing around. The crowd reacted in a very positive way, there was a lot of jumping and dancing. Though the drums and bass were played from a laptop it didn't annoy me at all. The instrument they brought with them was a guitar which was played by Tetsuri with a lot of passion. Haru announced Echoes with a lot of pride and expected from the crowd to know it, unfortunately not many people seemed to have watched Bleach in the crowd because the cheering was a bit more quiet. But that wasn't a reason to stop this party, both the band and crowd kept releasing so much energy and happy vibes. This resulted in 2 encores where GTD kept replaying the same songs since they don't have a lot of songs yet. In those encores the boys seemed to be more at home and the interaction between the members was more intimate.
Our partner Arlequin Photography had time before the show to talk with Haru, Tetsuri and Ren. Did you know they want to play in the biggest venue in the country one day? The guys are funny and interesting, you can read the interview here and if you like to see more photos you can click here!

HomeInternet of ThingsSecuritySecurity in IoT – Distributed Danial of Service (DDoS) I
The goal in this post and the next one is to describe Distributed Danial of Service attack, its architecture, and the most common Malware for DDoS in IoT devices.
What is Danial of Service
One of the most popular attacks is the Denial of Service attack in which the attacker tries to make the server or network unavailable to legitimate users. This can be done by disrupting services on the server side, for example, the attacker will flood the server or service/resource by so many requests and consequently, the system will be overloaded, and prevent services to be fulfilled. There is plenty of DDoS software such as Slowloris, LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Canon), GoldenEye and etc. Although IoT devices don't have computation power as PCs and servers have, they can participate in such attacks to provide network traffics.
Difference between DoS and DDoS attack
In DoS attack which is shown in Fig. 1, just one user/computer do the attack against the server and, basically, it is not dangerous anymore, because the server will detect it and will close the connection with that specific user/computer.
Fig. 1: Danial of Service Attack
What if a DoS attack comes from multiple sources simultaneously? This attack called DDoS or Distributed Denial of Service which shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. In this attack, multiple computers try to overload the server by requesting services. The result is that legitimate users can not access services.
Fig. 2: Distributed Danial of Service Attack
But how to orchestrate IoT devices in order to participate in the attack? The simple answer would be using malware(Malicious Software). So if the IoT device gets malware (become a bot) and joins the network of infected devices which called Botnet. Then they will get data and time of attacking to the specific server from a malicious server. Fig. 5 illustrates an example of a DDoS attack through in which an attacker tries to upload malicious firmware to IoT devices either by hardware or software hacking. By doing this step the IoT device may not be accessible or do not complete its job, and instead starts communicating with the malicious server or download malware and become botnet. At this stage, the attacker can control the IoT device and it can get time and date for participating in DDoS attack. In the last step, attacker or malicious server "attack command" and IoT devices start overloading a server by requesting services and the result is that legitimate users will lose connection to the server or services.
Fig. 3: Distributed Danial of Service Attack using IoT Devices
Famous DDoS Attack
In the last few years, hackers target websites and services some of the giant companies with DDoS attack, for instance on Feb. 28, 2018, GitHub was hit with a sudden onslaught of traffic that clocked in at 1.35 terabits per second[1]. Or on December 31 of 2015, the BBC website was successfully taken down by a group known as the New World Hacking. Their massive DDoS attack took down the BBC site and even affected Donald Trump's homepage as well[2]. Also, a lot of popular online services including Netflix and Twitter use DynDNS as a backbone to grant users access to their platforms. Due to this unprecedented DDoS attack executed by the Mirai botnet, none of these services were operational for nearly 24 hours[2]. And the PopVote DDoS attack was carried out on June of 2014 and targeted the Hong Kong-based grassroots movement known as Occupy Central. DDoS attack sizes are growing rapidly, according to Cisco[3], the peak DDoS attack size in the first half of 2018 was a dramatic 1.7 Tbps, a 179 percent increase from the first half of 2017 although there was a decrease in size in 2017 in comparison with 2016.
Types of DDoS Attack
Generally, DoS and DDoS attacks can be divided into three types:
Volumetric attack which is the most common type of DDoS attack and we have described it so far and includes UDP floods, ICMP floods, and other spoofed packet floods[4].
Application Layer attack which aims the topmost layer of the OSI network model which is the closest to the user's interaction with the system. Attacks that make use of the application layer focus primarily on direct Web traffic. Potential avenues include HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, or SMTP[5]
Protocol attack which focuses on damaging connection tables in network areas that deal directly with verifying connections. By sending successively slow pings, deliberately malformed pings, and partial packets, the attacking computer can cause memory buffers in the target to overload and potentially crash the system. A protocol attack can also target firewalls. This is why a firewall alone will not stop denial of service attacks[5].
DDoS as a Service – DDoSaaS
In [6], researchers have reported 138% increase in DDoS attack with traffic more than 100 Gbps which involve IoT devices and easy availability of commercial DDoS service or DDoS as a Service for hire. For instance, it is possible to order a 5-6 Gbps DDoS attack lasting 10 minutes for 6$. DDoSaaS also know as booter or stresser can be used for knocking websites offline or perform stress tests on different network infrastructures, to give an illustration, Shenron Attack Tool which offers eight different packages which the cheapest one costs $19.99 and launch a 35 Gbps attack for 20 minutes with UDP and TCP traffic or vDOS Attack Tool which has thirteen different attack vectors available for DDoS Attack. The cheapest one costs $19.99 and gains access to 216 Gbps attack shared network.

Yves est une commune de l'Ouest de la France, située dans le département de la Charente-Maritime (région Nouvelle-Aquitaine), en bordure de l'océan Atlantique.

Géographie
Cette commune située dans le centre-ouest de la Charente-Maritime a toujours fait partie de l'ancienne province de l'Aunis.

Sur un plan plus général, la commune d'Yves est située dans le Sud-Ouest de la France, au centre de la côte atlantique dont elle est riveraine, faisant partie du « Midi atlantique ».

La commune d'Yves est en majorité couverte de prés et de marais. L'altitude dépasse rarement les 5 mètres, sauf aux alentours du village de Voutron (sis sur le plateau des Cent Journaux) et près des falaises de la Pointe du Rocher.

Une grande voie de communication routière traverse Yves du nord au sud : il s'agit de la voie express  reliant La Rochelle à Rochefort.

Hameaux et lieux-dits
L'habitat s'organise principalement en quatre agglomérations distinctes :

 le bourg, où est implantée l'église ;
 le Marouillet, où sont implantées la mairie et l'école ;
 Voutron, ancienne commune autonome rattachée à celle d'Yves en 1823 ;
 les Bouchôleurs, village à vocation mytilicole et ostréicole partagé avec la commune de Châtelaillon-Plage.

La commune comprend également quelques hameaux ou lieux-dits tels la Cabane des Sables ou les Trois Canons.

Communes limitrophes

Urbanisme

Typologie
Yves est une commune rurale. Elle fait en effet partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de La Rochelle, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

La commune, bordée par l'océan Atlantique, est également une commune littorale au sens de la loi du , dite loi littoral. Des dispositions spécifiques d'urbanisme s'y appliquent dès lors afin de préserver les espaces naturels, les sites, les paysages et l'équilibre écologique du littoral, comme par exemple le principe d'inconstructibilité, en dehors des espaces urbanisés, sur la bande littorale des , ou plus si le plan local d'urbanisme le prévoit.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (86,8 % en 2018), néanmoins en diminution par rapport à 1990 (89,2 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
prairies (59,7 %), terres arables (21,3 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (5,8 %), zones urbanisées (3,9 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (2,8 %), zones humides intérieures (2,8 %), zones humides côtières (2,3 %), eaux maritimes (1,4 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune d'Yves est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), inondations, mouvements de terrains et séisme (sismicité modérée). Il est également exposé à un risque technologique,  le transport de matières dangereuses. Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Risques naturels
La commune fait partie du territoire à risques importants d'inondation (TRI) de La Rochelle-Île de Ré, regroupant  concernées par un risque de submersion marine de la zone côtière, un des  qui ont été arrêtés fin 2012 sur le bassin Loire-Bretagne et confirmé en 2018 lors du second cycle de la Directive inondation. Les submersions marines les plus marquantes des  antérieures à 2019 sont celles liées à la tempête du , à la tempête du , aux tempêtes Lothar et Martin des 26 et  et à la tempête Xynthia des 27 et . Cette tempête a eu pour conséquence l'instauration de zones de solidarité, où les parcelles considérées comme trop dangereuses pour y maintenir des maisons pouvaient à terme être expropriées (Loix, La Flotte, Nieul-sur-Mer, La Rochelle,…). Des cartes des surfaces inondables ont été établies pour trois scénarios : fréquent (crue de temps de retour de  à ), moyen (temps de retour de  à ) et extrême (temps de retour de l'ordre de , qui met en défaut tout système de protection). La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 1999 et 2010.

Les mouvements de terrains susceptibles de se produire sur la commune sont des tassements différentiels.

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 89,2 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (54,2 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Sur les  dénombrés sur la commune en 2019,   sont en en aléa moyen ou fort, soit 35 %, à comparer aux 57 % au niveau départemental et 54 % au niveau national. Une cartographie de l'exposition du territoire national au retrait gonflement des sols argileux est disponible sur le site du BRGM.

Par ailleurs, afin de mieux appréhender le risque d'affaissement de terrain, l'inventaire national des cavités souterraines permet de localiser celles situées sur la commune.

Concernant les mouvements de terrains, la commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par la sécheresse en 2011, 2017 et 2018 et par des mouvements de terrain en 1999 et 2010.

Risques technologiques
Le risque de transport de matières dangereuses sur la commune est lié à sa traversée par une ou des infrastructures routières ou ferroviaires importantes ou la présence d'une canalisation de transport d'hydrocarbures. Un accident se produisant sur de telles infrastructures est susceptible d'avoir des effets graves sur les biens, les personnes ou l'environnement, selon la nature du matériau transporté. Des dispositions d'urbanisme peuvent être préconisées en conséquence.

Weeks 40 and 41 of Project 365 2017 and a busy fortnight of work, teaching and yoga study.
Day 2 of my 200hr yoga teacher training course in Cirencester and a lunchtime walk took me past this beautiful hare.
Back home and time to write up all my notes from the weekend - I now have Sun Salutations going through my head 24/7.
A lovely 7 mile run with my buddy took us down to the cow field in a nearby village - had to stop and say hello like I always do.
A nondescript day, apart from illness getting to me again for the second time in as many weeks, and a patio photo of my two year old September birthday plant - quite the record for me to see it still alive.
Still feeling sorry for myself tonight so instead of running me and my girl took a walk around town - the local graffiti isn't quite up to Glastonbury standard.
Feeling much better today - maybe it was that Friday feeling? The sunrise looked beautiful as I got into the car to drive to work.
Another early start and back up to Cirencester for the second weekend of yoga training - the venue is beautiful.
A beautiful Sunday morning back at the training venue and the moon was still awake.
Back home and a package awaited me at the post office so after a morning of yoga teaching I popped into town to pick up - the walk took me through a lovely old part of town.
Tuesday morning run with my buddy again. Another 7 miles - I wanted to throw in the towel at 6 miles but she kept pushing me on, not bad as I hadn't run all week.
A big bowl of muesli to fuel my day and get me through late parent's evening at work tonight.
A lovely day at work and home to a throw it together type of dinner - spaghetti, peas, Marmite, nutritional yeast and vegan cheese...yum!
Friday the 13th! I don't believe in it and I had a lovely day at work again - back home and 6pm comes around and I'm wondering where my supermarket delivery is...I forgot to check out properly when I amended my order last night!
A lush morning teaching yoga then this afternoon off to the supermarket and then I finally got around to sorting out our front window after 12 and a half years living here!


Clojure has successfully participated in GSoC in the past, and it has proven to be a great experience for our students and a boon to the community. Our alumni have made significant, long-lasting impacts in the projects they have worked on, and many of them active contributors. Their work has helped the community enormously, and this is a fantastic outcome we would love to repeat.
Clojure, as mentoring organisation, is a grass-roots organisation not affiliated with any academic institution or corporate sponsor. For the most part, our projects are run by individuals in their spare time. We do not have the resources or infrastructure in place to encourage community members to set aside two to three focused months to work on useful projects. As such, GSoC provides us with an excellent opportunity to benefit and grow our community.
We select mentors based on their prior participation in the Clojure community. A mentor for a given student project will usually be a lead developer for an existing open source project related to the student's project. This will help ensure the mentor has both an interest in the success of the project as well as the necessary expertise to be an effective mentor. Additionally, many of our mentors are GSoC alumni or veteran mentors who understand the program and have shown that they the dedication to see it through. Finally, we do our best to ensure that a mentor spent enough time with a prospective student before selection to have a general idea of whether or not the mentor, student, and project are an ideal fit.
Foremost, our goal is to start with students who have shown that they have taken the time to consider the scope of their project, assessed the risks to completion, and have created a plan outlining the work to be done. We believe that a student who has taken the time to work with a potential mentor to create a great proposal is likely to succeed. At the time of selection, we rely heavily on the mentor's experiences with student. We also ask our students to list any potential conflicts that may impact their progress over the summer.
Once the project is underway, our plan is to assess the student's progress regularly to see if they are achieving their goals. We do not expect everything to go exactly as planned, but we do expect our students to show steady progress over the course of the summer.
Foremost, we believe that community involvement early in the application process is a strong indicator for students who will remain engaged with the community over time. Our experience in previous years has taught us that those students with the strongest community/mentor involvement before the program perform are most likely to excel and remain engaged with the community.
We ask our students to publish regular progress reports on relevant mailing lists, as well as personal blogs. We then leverage our web site and social media to spread the word about our students' work. Finally, we encourage them to interview in community newsletters.
Most of the proposal are significant enough that students should feel a sense of ownership about their accomplishment. At the same time, the proposals are important enough to the Clojure community that members can provide support once the intensive GSoC period is done and the student must focus more time on academic responsibilities. We encourage students to submit talks about their work to community conferences. Additionally, we help our students travel to Clojure conferences so they have the opportunity to meet the community in person. All in all, we feel like we have done a good job of keeping our students engaged with the community after their project has completed.
Has your org been accepted as a mentor or in Google Summer of Code before?
Thank you very much for your work with GSoC. It is an amazing program that has benefited thousands of students and projects over the years.

"Regenerative Immunology: The Role of Technology Translation in Guiding Discovery"
Wednesday, January 29, 2020, 3:00 PM, Wu and Chen Auditorium, Levine Hall
Biomaterial implants have a long history in the clinic but regenerative biomaterials and regenerative medicine therapies in general have been slow to reach patients. Clinical translation provides a unique and critical opportunity to investigate the key therapeutic drivers of technology efficacy in people. Careful evaluation of clinical outcomes and (re)evaluation of design parameters is central to improving research and technology development. A key outcome of our clinical translation experiences in orthopedics and plastic surgery was the unexpected discovery of adaptive immune cells around synthetic implants. We are now working to understand the role of the immune system and cellular senescence in the biomaterial response and repair across different tissues. This new therapeutic target serves as the basis for the design of regenerative immunotherapies.

Fluence ROI for Electronic Artist 1987
Swedish electronic artist Victor Holmberg's solo project 1987 grabbed our attention over the past couple months when the single 'Bomb' from his upcoming album began to tear across the music scene.
Incorporating a shimmering array of pulsing emotive synths, Victor's voice rises and soars; upheld with reverb-drenched piano chords. Have a listen, and read more below to see how Bomb was successfully promoted with Fluence.
Promoting 'Bomb' on Fluence
On Fluence, people set their own rates for their time and attention and receive media matched to their interests. 'Bomb' was promoted to three curators specializing in "indie pop", "music blogging", and "indie electronic", for a total cost of $15.12. Here's a look at the breakdown:
Feedback / Advice
'Bomb' received great feedback from music Spotify Playlister SD Hox, as well as music curators disco naïveté and Pause Musicale.
2 out of 3 curators chose to organically share it on Twitter, with nearly 300 clickthroughs resulting in a cost-per-engagement (CPE) of $.05.
SWEDISH POP. amazing. @thisis1987 http://t.co/Pum8O7183f via @fluence_app
— disco naïveté (@disconaivete) January 22, 2015
Loving this… @thisis1987 http://t.co/iCOJdxVAV3 via @fluence_app Bra jobb på detta. Good new stuff from the Swedish band 1987. — hoxsd1 (@hoxsd1) January 21, 2015
Fostering organic sharing is a core principle for the Fluence community, with each and every share occurring from people who love recommending great art and media.
What's The ROI?
Take a look at the detailed ROI in Fluence compared with standard advertising services.
Facebook average CPC: $0.55.
Twitters Ad's average CPE: $0.22 – $0.29
Google Adwords average CPC: $0.77 – $5.82
Fluence CPE: $0.05
While Fluence outperforms each advertising channel in terms of raw ROI, the real power behind the Fluence model is that people can choose exactly who they wish to target, build real 1 – 1 relationships, and receive media on their own terms.

Giving Great Feedback to Creators
We started Fluence to connect creators with those who could help them with feedback and exposure. As we built the Fluence system, we began to see curators and experts give incredibly thoughtful, precise, and helpful feedback to creators on the production quality and composition of their media submissions.
Andrei Liviu Georgescu is an ambient electronica composer and producer who submitted his track 'Waterway To The Horizon' on Fluence – sending it to renowned downtempo and electronica music production expert Brian Trifon, who responded back with helpful feedback on his track.
Hi Andrei, Beautiful! Really nice work. I like the electric piano part in the intro- nicely complimented with the ambient sounds at starting at 16 secs 32sec strings come in – I think these strings are cool, but could potentially be more realistic sounding (better samples if you have any.) :51sec – really nice moody ambient section love it! I would make the transition to the synth that comes in at 1:12 more dramatic and dynamic. Really have it swell up and then drop into that synth at 1:12. That synth entrance is an important moment. Also, because this synth is so naked, you might consider trying to craft a more unique/designed synth sound. The synth section ends somewhat abruptly at 1:31 and switches to the harp dulcimer.
I like the change in instrumentation, but maybe carry some remnant of the synth over. Maybe an echo or have the synth part carry on but filtered or distant. I'm not totally sure the best solution for that, but generally speaking you want to be very thoughtful about transitioning and introducing/taking away elements and themes. I like how you continually move forward to new territory, but it might be a good idea to carry some of themes or sounds forward and have them work together instead of switching from one to the next. That being said I like that you start at point A and end up somewhere different! It makes it more of a listening journey.
I really like how the harp/dulcimer is answered by the bass synth at 1:48. Also cool reverse melodic bits and strings. I like the drums that come in at 2:20, here is where it all comes together! You might consider adding an extra dramatic pause right before the drums come in. The drums entering is a big moment, it is in someways a peak in the energy of the song. You probably want to milk it's entrance for full dramatic effect. The drum section has a good vibe, the dulcimer/synth bass and ambient bits work well together. I think you could have this section build longer and further. You exit it pretty quickly. 2:54 you start to breakdown the energy of the previous section dies too quickly IMO 3:12 instrumental harp/duclimer section and ending. Love it really beautiful!
Overall this is great and has a strong emotional quality to it. I found myself getting absorbed in the feeling of it which is exactly what you want to do. Once again that is why transitions between sections and themes is very important. You don't want to pull the listener out of this emotional journey that they're on. Other general notes, musically this is great and I like a lot of the organic and ambient sounds. as I mentioned before I think the synth that comes in at 1:12 could be more highly designed sound – something that sounds less "soft synth." I think if you polish the details and transitions and really focus on maintaining the emotional energy of the song it will be fantastic. I hope that's helpful! I really enjoyed it. cheers!
– Brian Trifon
Maxwell's Complex – an artist whose sound is described as "electronic music progenerated from early 80's synth pop", also used Fluence to get useful feedback from highly accomplished electronic music producer and recording engineer Eric Oehler. He submitted the track 'Hurting Inside Out' while also asking for specific suggestions on which platforms, websites, or music blogs would be a good match to get in contact with.
All of a sudden, it's 1982 again, and I'm listening to "Speak and Spell" on my walkman-knockoff… The vocal production on this is excellent, and surprisingly modern given the obvious influences (bonus points for using the phrase "peer review"). You may wish to consider for future tracks throwing a little more melisma on the vocal cadences, to make them a little less syllable-on-a-beat (I listened to a few of your other tracks for fun and it seems like you have that going already on "Control"). That can be very effective.
Also, if you can find one, getting someone other than you to sing some of the backing parts can really flesh out a track. I do think some of the blippy noise is a bit prominent in the mix, fighting with the vocals. Maybe a little more low-mid punch on the bass, too, and a little less on the attack there, but only just a smidgen. I'm not sold on the cartoon voice bit in the bridge – doesn't seem to fit the darker aspects of the song. That's a purely stylistic choice, of course, but I think it might be a little more impactful if it were a bit grittier – maybe a bitspeek effect or something.
As for blogs and websites – well, there are a zillion of them and they change regularly. You might want to give something like Hits In The Car a try, since they seem to go for synthpop. Otherwise, I'd recommend doing legwork on hypem.com; doing a search on something like "vince clarke", "erasure" or "omd" or whatnot (I hesitate to say "depeche mode" or "gary numan" because their recent output will get you some false positives) and a large list of blogs should come up, most of which would be amenable to this sort of thing. You may have to do some sorting, as while the retro 80's thing is very much in vogue right now, the stuff that dominates the blogosphere is sort of an arch, ironic take on it, not as much the more earnest, traditional synthpop. However, this could probably appeal to the Kavinsky/"outrun" crowd, so tracking down blogs that play his stuff – Earmilk, Music We Like, etc – might be worth your while too.
– Eric Oehler
Maxwell's Complex wrote back with his thoughts on Fluence:
I was extremely impressed with the thoughtfulness of both reviewers for that track, and have had success following up on their feedback and advice!
One of the great things about Fluence was being able to really learn about and understand the people I was asking advice from. My brand of music isn't exactly mainstream, so to be able to find an influencer who actually listed "synth-pop" as an interest was awesome (and surprising). I was impressed by how much thought went into the feedback I received…far more than I would have expected based on the rather minimal cost I ended up paying.
Recently this week, electronic synthpop artist echocell sent her track 'Crumb Love' to Valida Carroll, KCRW On-Air Host and Fluence music expert.
Hi, Thank you for sharing this beautiful song. I really like it…Overall, it is a great song…with great vocal presence and really well produced. The melody is catchy without being too obvious. The lyrics are universal and it's something we can all relate to. My only room for improvement would be in some minor production finesse – they are really minor but because you asked for my honest feedback I'm compelled to say what few changes could add to this tune.
The chord progression in the beginning "your love was beautiful…gave me bigger things…" is a little predictable….It would be nice to hear a more interesting chord change in this section and not one that follows the vocals. Perhaps a harmonic chord progression? Also, in the chorus, the double snare back beat after the first bar is a bit repetitive and redundant in my opinion..Maybe just have it once and not three times in a row? Or maybe not at all?
The tabla right before the breakdown is a bit distracting…It takes the song in a different direction…I'd like to hear a different sound there…Also, the middle-eastern breakdown could benefit from an addition of a high-end sound…too many mids…The strings are great, but just needs some sort of uplifting note. Like I said, these are super minor production suggestions…Most people prob wouldn't notice the changes, but something to think about. Great job!
– Valida Carroll
Valida enjoyed Crumb Love so much, she even gave echocell a shout-out on Twitter.
Discovered a new song I'm digging. #CrumbLove http://t.co/o7BCQpRdDb via @fluence_app — Valida (@Validaaa) April 8, 2014
On Fluence, there is no reward or benefit to experts for sharing – so every time an someone shares a submission from a creator, it's an authentic and organic promotion that completes a full cycle from submitting media to getting it recommended to others.
It inspires us to see this level of thoughtful insight by curators and experts on Fluence. We are motivated more than ever in building our platform to let creators connect with those that can help them with useful and high-quality production feedback.
Our new model is emerging to connect creators with curators and experts in a meaningful way. If you have any suggestions on how it could be improved or have any ideas on what could be better, please reach out directly and let us know. It's just the beginning.
A Fluence Success Story: Michael-David Bushman
We're working relentlessly at Fluence to help creators get feedback and exposure from industry experts and professional curators. In the words of Aaron Levie, our approach has been to build for "the way the world *should* work instead of optimizing for how the world *does* work." It's a massive challenge to bring a new model to life, but when the system performs as intended, the results can be very meaningful to our mission at Fluence.
On December 13th, Michael-David Bushman, a musician from the Yakama Indian Reservation in Southern Washington, submitted three music tracks from his Soundcloud and targeted four experts and curators in Fluence. Given the varying rates charged by the people for their time and attention, the total potential spend for Michael-David was $57.85, which is based on the length of his submitted media. In Fluence, creators only pay for the time their selected people spend listening or watching their media and nothing more. In this case, Michael-David actually spent $51.19 (or 89%) of his potential max spend since his selected curators chose to listen to his submissions almost completely. Ikey Owens and Paul Heck were two people who went beyond giving feedback and organically shared it on their own public networks. Ikey Owens posted one track on twitter:

Paul Heck shared Michael-David's two other tracks on Facebook, and he also provided an engaging level of feedback and set of follow-on questions. Paul posted this feedback on Fluence when auditioning Michael-David's, When Colors Bleed:
Dude – I'm feeling this track, listening to it over and over. Is this your thing? Or do you work with vocalist? I love the shift at 1:10 — Do you think, structurally the first part of the song is a bit long before this shift happens? As it is – it seems A-B-A-B in structure, do you want to develop it more, musically? Add a bridge or something? As I tell everyone, I'm a song guy – I like hooks and choruses. I love the B part to this song – and would want to hear more development there, maybe it's a pre-chorus that leads into a hook…..I don't know — I'm not sure how you are hearing it….. Where do you see your music fitting in – as in, in the world of music?
It motivated Michael-David to reach out and connect with us so he could answer Paul's questions. Michael-David sent us this as part of his message:
I am really enjoying Fluence! I'm from a very small town and it's great having an outlet to hear feedback about ones music from professionals – it's a privileged opportunity.
In that moment, all our effort felt worthwhile. Fluence was able to build a bridge between a creator in a remote area and people in New York and LA, who gave useful feedback and shared authentically on their own networks. The full model worked as intended where a creator and curator benefited in a fair and organic way. We are inspired and committed to connect the creators of the world wherever they are to those who can give them feedback and exposure.
With this goal, we have continued to expand the network on Fluence to include experts in Film Making, Music Licensing, A&R, Journalism, PR & Branding, Music & Film Production, Audio Mastering, Radio Production, Music Writing, Venture Capital, and more. You can share your creations here to start receiving feedback and exposure for your art and media. We have much more planned for you in 2014 and are excited to keep building a better way.
Happy Holidays from The Fluence Team!
