Casandra Brené Brown assina como Brené Brown (San Antonio, 18 de novembro de 1965) é uma professora pesquisadora norte-americana, palestrante, escritora e apresentadora de podcast. Brown é conhecida em particular por sua pesquisa sobre vergonha, vulnerabilidade e liderança . Pesquisadora e acadêmica de longa data, Brown ficou famosa após uma palestra no TED em 2010, assistida por mais de 45 milhões de pessoas. Desde então, ela escreveu seis livros mais vendidos do  New York Times, apresenta dois podcasts e filmou uma palestra para a Netflix.

Biografia
Brown nasceu em 18 de novembro de 1965,  em San Antonio, Texas, onde seus pais Charles Arthur Brown e Casandra Deanne Rogers  a batizaram na Igreja Episcopal . Ela é a mais velha de quatro filhos.  Sua família então se mudou para Nova Orleans .

Brown completou um Bacharelado em Serviço Social na Universidade do Texas em Austin em 1995, seguido por um Mestrado em PhD em Serviço Social na Universidade de Houston em 2002.

Embora batizada na Igreja Episcopal, sua família a criou como católica .  Mais tarde, ela deixou a Igreja Católica e retornou à comunidade episcopal com o marido e os filhos duas décadas depois.

Família
Brown conheceu Steve Alley em 1987 e eles namoraram por sete anos antes do casamento em 1994. O casal tem dois filhos.   A família mora em Houston, Texas.

Alcoolismo
Durante seu tempo no ensino superior, Brown descreveu o vício em uma combinação de álcool, tabagismo, alimentação emocional e um vício em controle. Brown parou de beber e fumar e foi à sua primeira reunião de Alcoólicos Anônimos em 12 de maio de 1996, um dia após a formatura de seu programa de mestrado. Ela está sóbria desde então e muitas vezes fala sobre o impacto positivo disso em sua vida.

Carreira

Pesquisa e ensino
Brown passou décadas estudando os tópicos de coragem, vulnerabilidade, vergonha, empatia e liderança. Esses vários tópicos são pontos de vista diferentes que Brown usou para analisar a conexão humana e como ela funciona.

Brown passou sua carreira de pesquisa como professora em uma de suas alma mater, a Faculdade de Serviço Social da Universidade de Houston .

Brené também é fundadora e CEO da organização Brave Leaders, Inc., que leva a equipes, líderes, empreendedores e promotores de mudanças, programas baseados em evidências para fomentar a coragem.

Palestras
Brown é mais conhecida por sua palestra TEDx de Houston em 2010, "The Power of Vulnerability" (O Poder da Vulnerabilidade), que é uma das cinco palestras TED mais assistidas. Essa popularidade mudou o trabalho de Brown de relativa obscuridade na academia para virar o centro das atenções.      Reggie Ugwu, do The New York Times, disse que este evento deu ao mundo "uma nova estrela da psicologia social".

Isso levou à criação de sua palestra filmada, Brené Brown: The Call to Courage, que estreou na Netflix em 2019.  O USA Today o chamou de "uma mistura de discurso motivacional e especial de comédia stand-up".  Brown discute como e por que escolher a coragem ao invés do conforto, equiparando ser corajoso a ser vulnerável. De acordo com sua pesquisa, fazer isso nos abre ao amor, alegria e pertencimento, permitindo que nos conheçamos melhor e nos conectemos mais profundamente com outras pessoas.

Brown também trabalha regularmente como oradora pública em eventos e empresas privadas, como na School of Life do Alain de Botton  e no Google e Disney .

Q: How to authenticate users through Angular 2+ / NodeJS API I'm using a web API that receives http get requests and return json data coming from a mySQL database.
The http url return all users (http://localhost:3000/api/users)
The data arrives like this:

How can I authenticate users with Angular 2+ using this data?

A: Store the list of "allUsers" in local storage. However you shouldn't return the user set in 1st place.
Then take user credential from login page, and compare it to data being present in the 'allUsers' collection.
Angular guards can allow authorization once you have identified a user as valid. For that, you need to send the logged in user details to security database and identify correct roles. But first you must authenticate as above.

L'Arménie participe au Concours Eurovision de la chanson junior depuis 2007. Le pays s'est retiré pour la première fois en 2020 à la suite du conflit armé avec l'Azerbaïdjan alors qu'il était censé être représenté par la chanteuse Maléna Fox et la chanson Why.

Le pays gagne deux fois le Concours : en 2010 et en 2021.et a failli gagner en 2022.en arrivant Second avec 180 points.

Pays hôte
Le pays a organisé le concours à une reprise, en 2011, à la suite de sa victoire l'année précédente. Il s'est déroulé le  au Karen Demirchanyan Complex dans la capitale arménienne d'Erevan. La soirée est présentée par Gohar Gasparyan et Avet Barseghyan.

Le pays accueillera à nouveau le concours en 2022, à la suite de leur victoire lors de l'édition précédente.

Participations
Dès la première participation du pays, celui-ci se classe en 2ème position à seulement 1 point de la victoire. L'Arménie est l'un des pays les plus réguliers lors des différentes participations. Il n'a ainsi jamais quitté le top 10 en 15 participations.

Le pays compte deux victoires : la première a eu lieu en 2010 grâce à Vladimir Arzumanyan, ayant obtenu 120 points et en passant devant la Russie pour un seul point. 11 ans plus tard, Maléna Fox, qui aurait déjà dû représenter son pays en 2020, remporte l'Eurovision Junior 2021 grâce à sa chanson Qami Qami ("Vent" en Français), devançant la Pologne et la France.

Outre ces deux victoires, l'Arménie compte également le plus grand nombre de podiums : 9 podiums en 14 participations, soit plus de la moitié des entrées qui ont abouti à un top 3. Le pays compte 5 deuxièmes places - en 2007 à un point du vainqueur biélorusse, en 2009 à égalité avec la Russie et derrière les Pays-Bas, en 2015 derrière Malte (encore une fois à moins de 10 points de la victoire), en 2016 loin derrière la Géorgie et en 2022 derrière la France - et 2 troisièmes places (2012 derrière l'Ukraine et la Géorgie, 2014 derrière l'Italie et la Bulgarie).

Le pays a comme pire résultat une double 9ème place en 2018 avec LEVON et en 2019 avec Karina Ignatyan, obtenant respectivement 125 et 115 points - alors que la Pologne a gagné ces deux mêmes concours.

A group of about 50 kids from Alameda's Chipman Middle School got a special treat tonight. They attended the game as guests of Barry Bonds through the Major League Baseball Players Trust's Buses for Baseball program. The kids were provided transportation to the game, tickets and a pregame meeting with Bonds where they shook hands, got autographs and took photos with the slugger.
It was also Poker Night at the ballpark, one of many special events held here where fans with special tickets sit with like-minded folks, get special souvenirs (like a black, white and orange poker chip set, for example) and have a great time. Some of the more popular events are Singles Night, held several times a year, and the heritage events, like Irish Heritage Night, Jewish Heritage Night and African American Heritage Night. Tuesday night happens to be Scout Night.
Very cool. I live in Alameda. I am glad they got to go to the game.

New Zealand based Hideaways Bins has won the international Red Dot design award for the design of its kitchen waste bin, the Concelo.
The Concelo is a kitchen bin designed to overcome common issues – including grime and odours– associated with the most-used but least-thought-about kitchen appliance.
The New Zealand-designed and manufactured Concelo bin was one of more than 6300 entries submitted from 59 countries for the highly-regarded international design competition based in Essen, Germany.
Entries are judged by an international jury panel of 40 experts. Past jurors include shoe designer, Jimmy Choo.
The Silverdale-based Hideaway Bins, run by daughter and father team Jamie and Allen Bertelsen, won the coveted Red Dot Award in the Product Design category for household appliances and household accessories.
Past notable New Zealand winners have included Air New Zealand for the SkyCouch design and Fisher & Paykel for the Gas on Glass cooktop and its 60cm Built-In oven.
Jamie said the goal was to design the best bin possible for the home owner.
She said the company's investment in R&D has been a crucial part of their success.
"We couldn't have made this fabulous design without the hard work and commitment of our small R&D team," said Jamie.
"We also used a small focus group of cabinet makers and kitchen designers who gave their time to provide feedback on our early designs. Dad and I accept this award on behalf of our hardworking team and all the people who gave their time to help us turn this idea into a reality.
Concelo is an integrated kitchen waste solution for rubbish and recycling that is clean in both its design and functionality.
A key feature of the bin's award-winning design is its self-closing lid, which is hidden from sight inside the cabinet, helping to control odours. The lid is cleverly designed and can be removed for cleaning with the push of a button.
The Clip 'n' Clean trays, buckets and liner holders are made from stain-resistant polypropylene. They can be removed for cleaning and clip back into position in seconds, eliminating potential dirt traps in difficult spaces.
Concelo is the first premium waste bin that integrates concealed runners into its design, making it possible for the bin to be mounted at bench height for easy use for the homeowner, whilst allowing the back bucket to be removed independent of the front bucket.


Kelsey's journey fits perfectly with Winthrop's tradition of encouraging students to ask important questions and giving them the tools to find the answers, said Gloria Jones, dean of University College.
It's also the first Common Book selected under Winthrop's Global Learning Initiative, a five-year plan designed to improve students' global knowledge, attitudes, and engagement.
ROCK HILL, S.C. - Kelsey Timmerman's love of travel drove him to become more than a tourist; it led him on a quest to understand the world and the seemingly far away people whose lives were intertwined with his own.
His quest is chronicled in Where Am I Wearing?, Winthrop University's 2012 Common Book. Kelsey's journey fits perfectly with Winthrop's tradition of encouraging students to ask important questions and giving them the tools to find the answers, said Gloria Jones, dean of University College.
Timmerman's journey began with a simple question: "Who makes my clothes?" His attempt to answer that question led him to China; Bangladesh; Cambodia; Honduras; and Perry, New York. He visited the factories that made his clothes, learning about the forces of globalization, the lives of those who worked in the factories, and himself.
In providing Winthrop students with the opportunity to travel along with Timmerman as he discovers "where he is wearing," Winthrop will engage students, faculty, staff, and community in a global conversation, said Jones. Plans are under way for a visit to campus by Timmerman and related programming in each college.
New students will receive a customized copy of the book at Orientation and will be required to read the book over the summer. Themes from the book are explored during the freshman course, ACAD 101, and in some other courses.
The Common Book Project, in place at Winthrop since 2004, works to integrate Winthrop students into the university environment and acquaint them with Winthrop's strongly held intellectual and academic values.
For more information, contact Jones at 803/323-3900 or jonesg@winthrop.edu.

Smith to face Van Gerwen in World Final
Sunday, 30 December 2018 23:21:13 Europe/London
Michael Smith is in darting dreamland.
The Unicorn star is in the World Championship Final after winning an absorbing clash with Nathan Aspinall.
But it won't be an all-Unicorn final after Gary Anderson failed to fire and lost to Michael van Gerwen on Sunday night.
Smith though was simply sensational. The performance of his life in the match of his life. He hit 17 x 180s which is an individual record for a World Championship semi-final. A brilliant 105.22 average, 51% on the doubles and an incredible five ton-plus finishes, including the match-winning 121.
"I am speechless!" he joked. "To do that on that stage makes me very proud. Nathan played superbly to come back at me, but I've probably never played as well as that."
Aspinall was also inspired as the pair gave us an Ally Pally classic. Both players were terrific. The match was played with so much respect as two fantastic talents went toe-to-toe on the biggest stage in the world.
There was no sign of the drama to come when the Unicorn star made the perfect start as he won the first seven legs of the match. Two sets up and his opponent was really struggling. But from nowhere Aspinall found something special. Smith threw for a three-set lead but Aspinall took it and the next and we had a level game!
Smith had already hit nine 180s, three big finishes (108, 100, 136) and was averaging 105 and was only level. The 5th set was pivotal.
Back-to-back 180s from Aspinall and an 11 darter saw him lead for the first time. Smith played brilliantly to force a deciding leg and it was arguably the best leg of this or any World Championship.
Smith 140, Aspinall 140, Smith 134, Aspinall 134, Smith 134, Aspinall 180 to leave 47 and Smith hitting 93 on D9 to win the set. Wow!
Aspinall wouldn't go away and levelled again. The St Helens star hit the front again with a 90 finish on the bull to make it four sets to three.
Then he really put his foot in the gas. A magnificent 16th 180 and 130 finish on the bull to break the throw and finally break his opponent.
This time Aspinall couldn't respond and Smith won six straight legs, claiming victory in style with a brilliant 121 check-out.
There were 29 x 180s in total.
"I know I now have to take it to another level," he admitted. "But I truly believe this is my time and I can win it."
Sadly, no all-Unicorn clash and Anderson will be hugely disappointed. In the end he won only seven legs in his eagerly anticipated showdown with Van Gerwen.
Gary started superbly with a 127 finish on the bull, but as it turned out that opening set was crucial. It went to a decider. Anderson was sat on 44 to win it only for the Dutchman to hit 'tops' with his last dart.
After that Anderson started missing important doubles and his opponent just cashed in.
Van Gerwen took control and went five sets clear before Anderson got a set on the board. The Scot should have won the seventh set as well. In total he hit 11 x 180s, but double trouble cost him and Van Gerwen cleaned up.
But now this is Smith's time on New Year's Day!
S/Final results:
Michael Smith 6-3 Nathan Aspinall
Michael van Gerwen 6-1 Gary Anderson

Q: How to duplicate rows with conditions with R I'm looking for a way to duplicates rows under certain conditions and by deleting some columns on R, using dplyr or another package.
I have a table like this one :
Ring  Date_d7  Date_d13  Info1  Info2
A     10/05    15/05     2      8
B     12/05    17/05     3      4

And I would like to obtain this one :
Ring Stage Date  Info1 Info2
A    d7    10/05 2     8
A    d13   15/05 2     8
B    d7    12/05 3     4
B    d13   17/05 3     4

I am sorry I don't understand how to make a table so it's not very nice to read...
Also there might be already an answer but I coulnd't find it, I looked for a way to arrange my table with dplyr but with no success so far.
Thank you by advance for your help !

A: Try this ... kinda hacky I know, but it works.
# Create dummmy dataframe
Ring <- c('A','B'); Date_d7 <- c('10/05','12/05'); Date_d13 <- c('15/05','17/05'); Info1 <- c(2,3); Info2 <- c(8,4); df <- data.frame(Ring,Date_d7,Date_d13, Info1, Info2)

# Add future headers
df$stage7 <- 'd7'; df$stage13 <- 'd13'

# Split table
df1 <- subset(df, select = c(Ring, stage7, Date_d7, Info1, Info2)); colnames(df1)[2] <- 'Stage'; colnames(df1)[3] <- 'Date';
df2 <- subset(df, select = c(Ring, stage13, Date_d13, Info1, Info2)); colnames(df2)[2] <- 'Stage'; colnames(df2)[3] <- 'Date';

# Append for final dataframe
df_final <- rbind(df1, df2)

Movie Man: 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' great for kids, grown-ups
Will Pfeifer
Wes Anderson — the quirky hipster behind "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" — making an animated movie? It sounds crazy, but it makes perfect sense. All of Anderson's movies are — and I mean this as a compliment — live-action cartoons.
Wes Anderson — the quirky hipster behind "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" — making an animated movie?
It sounds crazy, but it makes perfect sense. All of Anderson's movies are — and I mean this as a compliment — live-action cartoons. They're cast, designed, filmed and lit for maximum visual effect, and Anderson clearly has a strong vision for every single frame. By making a movie with stop-motion animals, he's refining his vision — and it all works beautifully.
In fact, "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. Trust me, with a hi-def set and a Blu-ray player, "Fox" doesn't just pop off the screen, it explodes. The oranges, browns and blues create a world you feel like you could step right into, and the hilariously, wonderfully, obsessively detailed visions Anderson and his crew create make you want to step into it. You can see every strand of fur on Fox's face, but that's just the start. You can see everything from Mrs. Fox's stormy paintings to the library sticker on the book that serves as the film's title image.
Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) is dealing with a midlife crisis, his wife (Meryl Streep) needs him to grow up a bit, and their son (Jason Schwartzman) has an inferiority complex, worrying he doesn't measure up to his more with-it cousin. The characters resolve their issues in a way that's both surprising and emotionally fulfilling. As the credits rolled and the music played, I had a huge smile on my face, and I can't imagine any movie fan not feeling the same way.
A word to parents: Though the movie features grown-up voices, it is by a normally R-rated director and earned a PG rating for "action, smoking and slang humor" (whatever that means). I highly recommend watching "Fantastic Mr. Fox" with your kids. It is, after all, based on a children's book, and the film's bright colors, oddball action and funny characters should keep the young 'uns entertained.
Look at it this way: "Fantastic Mr. Fox" made a fraction of what 2009's other animated mammal movie, "Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" earned at the box office, but there's only one of these you want to watch — and only one your kids will thank you for introducing them to years later.

FROM THE VAULT: Watch more classics that use stop-motion
"King Kong" (1933) That big ape was only about 18 inches tall in most of his scenes, and it was Willis O'Brien and his crew who brought him to life. The special edition "Kong" DVD includes a feature where Peter Jackson and his team recreate a lost scene using 1933 techniques.
"The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993) Tim Burton's name was all over this imaginative holiday release, but director Henry Selick is the guy who actually made Jack Skellington and his friends move.
"The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" (2004) Selick also is the man who contributed the fanciful sea creatures to this Wes Anderson movie. And it's where Anderson caught the animation bug that led to "Fantastic Mr. Fox."
FIRE AT WILL: Go ahead! Ask me!
I'm running out of questions for the Fire At Will feature, so if you have any movie mysteries that have been driving you mad, send them my way.
Write to wpfeifer@rrstar.com, and put "Fire at Will" in the subject line. Include full name, city and daytime phone number (which isn't for publication).
Make room in your collection
Some DVDs out Tuesday
"Abbott & Costello Show: Complete Series": Trivia note: Jerry Seinfeld cited this TV series as a major influence on his own sitcom, "Seinfeld."
"Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel": Worst title of the week? Definitely. Worst movie of the week? Probably.
"The Baader Meinhof Complex": If you think the baby boomers rebelled, imagine what the children of the Germans did to get back at their parents.
"An Education": This tale of a young woman and an older man was nominated for a few Oscars. Now you can finally see it.
"Joe Rogan: Talking Monkeys In Space": Congratulations, Joe! You earn the prize for strangest title of the week.
"The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Season One": A show this complex and subtle demands repeat viewings.
"Sherlock Holmes": This movie starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law looked like a sure hit. Then a little film called "Avatar" opened.
And CDs
Usher, "Raymond v. Raymond": Despite the title, this isn't the soundtrack to an "Everybody Loves Raymond" reunion special.
Barenaked Ladies, "All In Good Time": The Ladies (who are, of course, all guys) get a little more serious with this album, their first without co-vocalist Steve Page.
Amy Grant, "Somewhere Down The Road": Attention Amy Grant fans — this disc includes new recordings, unreleased tracks, concert performances and new versions of old favorites.
Gretchen Wilson, "I Got Your Country Right Here": Gretchen, please. A little decorum would be nice.
Lady Gaga, "Telephone: The Remixes": She's superpopular but doesn't have a new disc. How about some remixes to tide the fans over?
Robin Williams, "Weapons Of Self Destruction": I remember hearing Robin's first album, "Reality — What a Concept" when I was a kid and realizing that Mork really liked drug humor.

IS CHAOS AT OUR DOOR?
By parkercountyblog on November 11, 2014
by Wayne LaPierre, NRA Executive Vice President, November, 2014 –
Image from inquisitr.com
Brace yourself. You won't hear about this from the mainstream media. And very few politicians dare to discuss these things openly.
But the reality is that we may be living in some of the most dangerous times in human history. Does that sound like some crazy exaggeration to you? Well, consider this: Recently, in The Wall Street Journal, former CIA Director James Woolsey warned that "the most significant threat to the U.S. in the world" is the threat of catastrophe caused by an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP. And that danger appears to loom larger every year. What is an electromagnetic pulse? It can be triggered by a massive solar storm, or set off by detonation of a nuclear device hundreds of miles above the earth. Even if no blast, shock or fallout reaches the ground, the cascading avalanche of infrastructure failures caused by an EMP can create a national catastrophe.
Because an EMP, like an astronomical bolt of lightning, destroys the electronic equipment upon which so much of modern life is built.
In the short term, EMP drowns out radio transmissions-everything from radio, TV and cell phones, to air-defense radar systems, to police, fire and EMS frequencies.
Most importantly, over a much longer timeframe, an EMP blacks out the power grid, slamming it with so much voltage-and slagging so many transformers when it does-that it could plunge much of the continental U.S. into darkness and chaos lasting for months, if not years.
Collapse of the power grid, in turn, would have a domino effect on the infrastructures Americans depend on most for survival. Landline telephone systems would fall silent. Cell phone towers would go black-even if you had a way to charge your phone.
An EMP would flatline the Internet and paralyze all the vital signals the Internet carries: Military command and control, our banking and financial system, gas pipeline and power plant safeguards, hospital and emergency response communications.
And it would pull the plug on public water and sewage services-perhaps our most urgent and immediate life-support systems of all.
This isn't some feverish, paranoid fantasy. It's not some fabrication from "Doomsday Preppers." It's the kind of scenario that the most informed national security experts in the country-military commanders, emergency response planners and scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories and the Hoover Institution-have been warning politicians about with increasing urgency for more than a decade. As recently declassified reports from these experts on the congressional EMP Commission make clear:
• "China and Russia have considered limited nuclear-attack options that employ EMP as the primary or sole means of attack."
• "Designs for variants of such weapons may have been illicitly trafficked for a quarter century."
• In 2004, Russian military officials warned U.S. government investigators that North Korea's military had recruited Russian scientists to develop nuclear EMP weapons.
• "Terrorists or state actors that possess relatively unsophisticated missiles armed with nuclear weapons may well calculate that … they may gain the greatest political-military utility from … an EMP attack."
Yet, while the media should be alerting the public to this danger, and our nation's leaders should be setting up systems to protect us instead, we get adolescent media gossip about the latest celebrity tweet.
Imagine your world blanketed by pitch black. You have no lights, no electricity. Phones don't work. Even the battery-powered radio you keep for emergencies picks up nothing but static-if it powers up at all.
Transportation grinds to gridlock as soon as everyone's gas tank runs dry-even if their cars' computer chips aren't ruined by the EMP. Fuel shipments dry up as energy companies struggle to jump-start their pipelines and refineries. Food shipments stop.
In many ways, our nation would be plunged back into the 1800s. Without clean water or sanitation, Third World diseases would re-emerge-amoebic dysentery, typhoid, cholera-killing our youngest and frailest family members. Hospitals would be overwhelmed.
Remember the horrific scenes you saw from Hurricane Katrina or the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Then magnify those calamities to a national scale and lengthen them from weeks to many months.
If this all sounds inconceivable to you, again, consider the findings of the government's own congressional EMP Commission. According to their report, within a year of a national blackout, as much as 90 percent of the population of the U.S. could die due to starvation, disease and the collapse of civilization as we know it.
Now, that might be too terrifying to even comprehend. But an EMP attack is far from the only way of wreaking havoc on America's infrastructure or blacking out our power grid.
Cyber attacks through the Internet, for example, are a new and growing danger to our nation's most sensitive government, military and financial operations. Many experts worry that they could shut down our nation's financial system, locking up bank accounts, freezing credit cards and putting our economy into a tailspin.
Worse, according to 911 Commission Chairman Tom Kean, the danger of cyber terror is even more immediate and deadly. "Hackers can threaten the control systems of critical facilities like dams, water treatment plants and the power grid," Kean wrote recently in The Wall Street journal. "A hacker able to remotely control a dam, pumping station or oil pipeline could unleash large-scale devastation."
Terrorists could deliver a knockout punch with more conventional means as well.
Last year, in what the Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Jon Wellinghoff, called "the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred," unknown individuals used rifles to disable 17 tremendous electrical transformers near San Jose, Calif.
It took technicians almost a month to get the facility back online-and that was just one substation. What if terrorists did the same thing in coordinated attacks all across the country? According to Wellinghoff, they could disable the grid and black out much of the United States.
Whether it's through an EMP, a massive cyber attack, another 911 or just isolated sprees of murder and mayhem, military and homeland security officials agree it's just a matter of time before the U.S. faces some kind of terrorist attack.
It might be along the lines of the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, where terrorists launched a dozen coordinated attacks, gunning down innocent victims at hotels, a bar, a train station, a hospital and a movie theater. In all, they killed 164 innocent people.
Or it might be like the attack on Westgate Mall in Kenya last year. Four armed terrorists linked to al Qaeda were able-thanks to Kenya's strict anti-gun laws-to spend four days torturing, mutilating and gunning down shoppers with almost no fear of reprisal. They killed 63 innocent people and wounded 175 more before they were stopped.
So ask yourself: Could suicidal terrorist mass murderers try to bomb an American hotel, an American train station, shopping mall or movie theater?
Make no mistake: The world that surrounds us is growing more dangerous all the time. Whether it's enemy state actors, foreign terrorists, Mexican drug cartels or domestic criminals, the threats Americans face are massive-and growing.
America's police community knows that every U.S. city of any appreciable size already has a serious, established, drug-funded Mexican drug-cartel presence.
Even the Justice Department admits:
• Mexican drug gangs are operating in more than 1,000 U.S. cities;
• 20,000 gangs with at least a million members are embedded coast to coast;
• More than 100,000 street gang members have been documented in Obama's hometown of Chicago alone.
Add to that volatile mix the thousands of hardened, dangerous criminals that are being released from prisons allover America.
When states can't or won't spend the money needed to imprison their criminals, and those prisons become overcrowded, the courts say to set them free. So now the floodgates are open as our nation's prisons are purged.
The U.S. Justice Department is now planning to release more than 40,000 federal felons before their sentences are served. More than 13,500 inmates every month are being released early in California alone. The state has even released nearly 3,000 inmates who were supposed to serve life sentences, including convicted murderers!
On top of that flood, add the waves of drug smugglers, kidnappers, sex-slave traffickers and criminals of all kinds who invade our country from the south every day. Instead of securing the Mexican border to protect the American people, Obama and his allies play political games with the immigration issue.
Even when they catch convicted criminals coming into this country, Washington's political class does nothing to stop them. Last year alone, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, Obama's ICE authorities intentionally released 36,000 illegal aliens who had already been convicted of nearly 88,000 crimes, including 193 homicide convictions, 426 for sexual assault and 303 for kidnapping.
No jail. No prison. Just a stern but meaningless warning-and off they went.
Where all these released criminals went, no one knows. But you can bet on this: They're among us, embedded throughout our society. For all you know, you pass them in your car on your way to work.
And consider this: Terrorists have known for 26 years that our southern border is so porous and unprotected that crossing into the U.S. is like crossing the street.
Between 1999 and 2010, at least 6,000 so-called "special interest aliens" were caught illegally trying to cross into the U.S. Authorities admit catching at least three people "linked to terrorism" and one suspected al Qaeda bomb maker.
But how many more did they catch that they didn't tell us about? And if 6,000 were caught, how many weren't?
Even if you take terrorists and criminals out of the picture, chaos is an ever-present danger to Americans today — especially when you factor in the undercurrent of social unrest that seethes beneath the surface of much of our society.
How many times have we seen peaceful protests in this country degenerate into riots, looting, shootings, arsons, and worse?
How many times have we seen crowds turn into angry mobs after court decisions they didn't like, sports team defeats they felt were unfair, natural disasters that collapsed civil order — or just for the sheer hell of it?
And who among us can say with certainty that we'd never face that same kind of out-of-control mayhem and brutality in our own city or home town?
When you consider all the threats encroaching on our country, one fact is clear:
We live in an age when preparing to survive whatever comes our way is a simple fact of life or death. It's simply the most prudent way to survive. Prudent leaders prepare their nation. Prudent people prepare themselves.
And millions of NRA members and gun owners know the truth: The police can't always be there to protect you. The government can't-or won't-protect you, either. Only you can protect you.
And nothing provides individual citizens more immediate, undeniable and irreplaceable protection than the Second Amendment-protected right to keep and bear arms. It's the one freedom that guarantees our lives and our freedoms with force. It's the one thing we can count on to protect ourselves when nothing else will or even can.
Now, you can bet the media will pounce upon and ridicule gun owners for talking about these dangers and preparing for the worst. They'll call us paranoid, fear-mongering, reckless and ill-advised. They did the same thing after Sandy Hook, when the NRA said that shielding our schools with police or certified trained armed security was the only proven method to protect them.
Since then, schools everywhere have done exactly what we suggested. They're giving their kids the first deterrent and last fail-safe defense against armed madmen who murder without fear. Because they understand-as we all understand-that there are surely more madmen out there, planning their attacks on the most vulnerable among us, even now.
We were right. History proves it. The American people know it. And men and women who care about their safety will never let themselves be shamed, ridiculed or accused of being "unreasonable" for defending their God-given right to defend-life and limb.
We've proven it over and over again, and we'll do it again on Election Day.
So let this be a declaration to America's leaders:
You have no right, no reason and no authority to deny us the protection that the Second Amendment alone guarantees.
We will not be left defenseless. We will not give up our freedoms. We will not surrender our safety to the lies of leaders who promise everything and deliver nothing.
On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4, we will defend our right to defend ourselves because we have no other choice. We will vote our guns! We will vote our freedom! We will vote our freedom! And we will prevail! "
As for the criminal statistics, here are my experiences and recollections from the 1980's!!
As far back as the 70's when I went through the police academy, the Los Angeles County sheriff's department central jail was 140% occupancy! As a result, the sheriff himself was put under a court order to show due-diligence toward reduction of inmates — the alternative was for him to be put in his own jail!
That situation continued until the new Twin Towers jail was built to augment the old Central jail. After only a few months both jails were full and over 100% occupancy.
Since 2000 (or earlier) they have been releasing felons with as little as three months jail time due to crowding. My point being that this is not a new problem and is only getting worse — especially with illegals doing at least 30% of the serious crimes.
The following are two documents worth reviewing regarding EMPs. If you think this is a 'pie in the sky' conversation, you are seriously wrong!

The issues in this article are generally accurate and relevant to individual Amerikans. However, the NRA is utilizing more than a bit of hype and hysteria…the same two ingredients that the Fed-Guv uses to enact totalitarian restrictions on our individual rights…to motivate Amerikans to vote for their choices in the elections.
The unspoken and subliminal message in their diatribe is this: "The NRA protects your 2nd Amendment rights." And at times they do. But, many times in the past, the NRA has had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the fight for our natural, God-given right to defend ourselves, our families, and our once-Republic with the weapons rightfully belonging to a free man…a right merely codified in the form of the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
My wife and I initially joined the NRA in 1982, so I know a bit about their legislative history when it comes to sometimes protecting and sometimes waffling on the issue of our 2nd Amendment rights.
I cancelled my family's NRA memberships in 2010 for this reason:
"Congressional Democrats have reached a breakthrough on legislation to require campaign advertisements to disclose more information about who is funding them, according to Politico. Earlier this spring, a bipartisan group of lawmakers unveiled legislation known as the DISCLOSE Act in response to the Supreme Court's January ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission — a ruling that opened the door for corporations to spend unlimited sums on independent expenditures advocating for or against politicians. Some groups, including the National Rifle Association, feared the initial legislation was too sweeping, and they argued the new rules would be tantamount to the government forcing them to disclose their membership lists. An amendment pushed by Blue Dog Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), who supports the DISCLOSE Act, will reportedly exempt 501(c)4 nonprofit political organizations that have "more than one million members, have been in existence for more than 10 years, have members in all 50 states and raise 15 percent or less of their funds from corporations," according to Politico."
http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2010/06/disclose-act-exemptions-for-the-nra/
Yes, the NRA ultimately came out in favor of the "DISCLOSE Act". Why? Because this proposed legislation would have exempted the NRA from lobbying restrictions during certain periods of time prior to election day among other things.
Who would NOT have been exempted from the draconian free speech restrictions of the DISCLOSE Act? Hmmmm…let's see…how about the Gun Owners of America (GOA), the 2nd Amendment Foundation, and other smaller and/or newer gun rights groups across the great FEMA camp called Amerika. Nice way to take out the competition, no?
Although the DISCLOSE Act failed to pass into law, the NRA's endorsement of this special exemption for the NRA, while throwing other gun rights groups under the proverbial bus, was enough for me to see their true colors. It was "the straw that broke the camel's back" for me…in addition to their other instances of waffling on gun rights prior to this incident.
My family and I joined GOA, the Gun Owners of America. We are simply members and I have no formal affiliation beyond that capacity with this fine, unyielding, and uncompromising gun rights group.
The NRA does perform a function in the fight to keep our natural right to own firearms of our choice to defend ourselves and our families. Their numbers are big and they do have influence on Capitol Hill. But…never, never, turn your back on Wayne LaPierre…and always, always, sleep with one eye open. Because when you awaken, you may find that he has negotiated away one or more of the few precious few rights you have left.
Or…as Benjamin Franklin famously said…
"We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."
Senator_Blutarsky November 11, 2014 at 11:30 pm
The NRA was pro-active in the push FOR a CHL requirement in Texas in the 1990s, as they were afraid unrestricted "open carry" might prevail.
And one might find the NRA actually supported several other pieces of anti-2nd amendment legislation throughout the years.
And they have a very curious position in the political arena, all too often ….recent example- ..Harry Ried was in a dire battle to keep his Senate seat in nevada vs arduous pro 2nd Amendment and liberty challenger Susan Angle. yet they backed Ried , using a tired argument that his loss might mean Chuckie Schumer might ascend to his post blahblah……….and Angle lost a very very close race, thanks to the NRA.
Never joined them, never will – GOA is the only true liberty no-compromise 2nd amendment advocate.
"Whereas civil-rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as military forces, which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."

"BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan/Bulletproof Boys) is one of the popular boy bands of K-Pop, consisting of 7 memmbers -- Jin, Suga, J-hope, Rap Monster, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Last October, they released their second full album called "Wings", an album where one flies through art and history, and ride a rollercoaster of one's hidden emotions. By this album, they have achieved an "all-kill" on South Korean music charts, and numerous (emphasis on numerous) achievements internationally.
Wings contains 15 tracks, of which 7 are soulful solos of individual members, a bold Cypher track with the 3 rappers of the group, a soothing song with the 4 vocalists, the intro and interlude, and the rest being with all 7 members. The physical albums are sold in 4 versions -- W, I,N and G, each having a different photobook, but the CD is the same in all versions, and they all have one random member's photocard.
This album is very different from how K-Pop is stereotyped, and also from other K-Pop albums, as its theme has been taken from the book "Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth" by Hermann Hesse, with references from The Bible itself. The album explores more themes from the members' solo songs, consisting of things the youth can feel and relate to -- guilt, self-loathing, despair, love, failure, etc. They also have songs which are positive and uplifting. Even one of them, titled "21st Century Girls", is about girl power.
They have had 7 short films released before this album was released -- a feat never seen before. The shorts successfully pull off their theme from the book, giving it a thriller movie feel which touches the peak of a curious mind. The storyline from the trailers finally reaches a debatable conclusion in the music video of the title song "Blood, Sweat & Tears", which is beautifully set in a museum-like production design with the use of paintings and statues. The storyline is, of course, related to all these artifacts and Hesse's book. It keeps the fans in awe, turning them into mystery solvers who then share many theories on the internet of what has happened.
It should be mentioned that this story started from their previous mini albums from last year -- The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Trilogy. However, there is an ongoing debate that it might have started from their first album ever. All these mind-boggling settings by the albums create theories which keep the fans in anticipation and interested in this one-of-a-kind album.
For me, Wings is a 10/10 album -- one of the most unique and distinct albums in the world of K-Pop. It is enriched in art and emotion, and has done justice to the themes they have used."
Personally, I can't help but agree with every single word in the article. I had high expectations when I bought the album and I wasn't disappointed. Every song in it is art, and they all flowed so smoothly. Not a single thing felt out of place in the entire 15-track album.
Take it from me and give it a shot!
Well, This is record-breaking news and I agree on these things. These all because of your work. It is a writer legit which wrote this news and I hope your company gives them credit.


Great! But the SNES version is bar none the best version! Still, Thank you very very much for uploading this! I loved this game growing up!
Open the POP.BAT file, not POPULOUS.EXE.
As another poster has mentioned, I can only run the keyboard editor, but not the POPULOUS.EXE file with DOSBox. Also, this game is currently on GOG, is this correlated?
I bought this game on origin and I couldn′t even activate. Now I had it for free and it works.
Can someone please put the manual. I can′t get through the verification check.

Anxiety is an emotional state that has been associated with negative outcomes on cognitive tasks, as well as low confidence in responses, specifically in the domain of long-term memory. The following series of experiments explored the effect of anxiety on long-term memory performance as well as on memory confidence, the accuracy-confidence relation, and response times. The purpose was to determine how realistic anxious participants are when making confidence judgments compared to low anxious peers and to attempt to improve the memory accuracy and confidence of highly anxious individuals. In Experiment 1, participants encoded words presented visually, followed by an anxiety induction. Those with higher anxiety scores had poorer memory accuracy for target words as well as less confidence in their memory overall, consistent with much of the literature. Response time (RTs) was slower in the high- relative to low-anxious group when making confidence assessments but not memory judgments, suggesting that rather than slowing cognitive processing, high anxiety individuals may be doubting their memory ability, resulting in more time spent appraising their performance. In Experiment 2, I tested my hypothesis that high-anxious participants are particularly slowed only when asked to critically examine and evaluate their memory decisions. The same procedure as in Experiment 1 was used except that I allowed participants an opportunity to switch their memory responses immediately after making an initial classification. Highly anxious participants made more switches in their memory judgments and this decreased their overall memory accuracy. Interestingly, in this experiment, highly anxious participants did not have lower memory confidence than their low-anxious peers, nor longer RTs when making confidence judgments. They did however take longer when deciding whether to switch an answer. Results are in line with the suggestion that high-anxious individuals defer worry until after a memorial decision is made, and that it is in the post-mnemonic stage that high-anxious individuals differ from low-anxious ones. In Experiment 3, I examined anxiety without induction to determine whether differences in memory accuracy and in response time would remain. I also included a manipulation of encoding duration to determine whether longer encoding time would improve highly anxious participant's memory accuracy and confidence relative to the low-anxious group. Participants encoded words for either 750 or 4000 ms. High-anxious individuals had poorer accuracy and lower confidence compared to low-anxious individuals: specifically for correct memory responses. Longer encoding duration benefited both accuracy and confidence, and there was no differential benefit across groups. RTs to make memory classifications again did not differ between groups yet, as in Experiment 1, high-anxious participants were slower to make confidence judgments, though only for incorrect responses. Results suggest that high-anxious individuals have unrealistically low confidence in their memory, especially when correct, and that allowing additional encoding time does not alleviate the effect. Taken together, this series of experiments shows that individuals with high levels of anxiety take longer to evaluate their memorial decisions, suggesting that they engage in more post-mnemonic evaluation than their low-anxious peers.

So you've come across my lovely new blog. This ain't my first rodeo. I was a blogger for three years before starting to head out on my own. Some of those blog posts I'll re-paste here so I can share them with you, and others will be new.
But I thought for us to get to know each other, I should let you know what's up with me and what's up with this blog. You know, so we all can be friends and not feel weird about taking advice from a complete stranger.
Well. I'm a writer. I've been writing for a pretty long time, although my pen name is new and shiny. I don't know what the protocol is for using a pen name, seeing as it's my first time out with a pen name.
Why are you using a pen name? That seems dumb.
Well, there are lots of reasons why people use pen names. My own personal reason is that I wanted to have a disconnect between my actual personal life and the even more personal life of writing. Ain't nothin' wrong with that. I mean, and then there's the whole ordeal with the mafia and things, but really, who wants to get into that?
I've written a lot of steampunk science fiction in the past couple of years. I also have some plays and short stories. Right now, I'm currently querying a YA Steampunk Trilogy, because who isn't? Also, if you really wanna get old school, check out my old fanfiction, Forever Alive. Just for giggles.
Well, you really can't trust anyone. Why are you so stuck on this idea of me being a murderer?
Fine. What is this blog going to be about?
This blog is going to be about me, of course, because who doesn't have a blog about themselves? I know a kid down the street who blogs about her Girl Scout cookie sales. But I'm hoping to do a little more with this blog, like actually give you advice based on what I've come up against in my own writing and what I've seen during my years as an editor.
I worked at a publishing company for three years as a publisher's assistant and editor of YA, Science Fiction, and Fantasy. I still freelance.
Yes! I will! But unfortunately I charge now, because that's how it goes. Check out my Editing page for more information on that.
I'm a big fan of Ray Bradbury. And then I could list off a lot of really important, awesome to-do's, but I also really love everyone over at Cracked.com and Allie Brosh.
What is your deepest, darkest secret?
Oh, come on now, random questioner. What is your issue? We just met.
For updates on publication and appearances, check out my Recent News page. As of me writing this blog, I was published in Eclectica Magazine with the story, "Falling."
I like to write about weird people who are doing important things. I know that's broad, but I think it really encompasses the oeuvre of my anthology that doesn't exist. Honestly, right now I'm writing about two kids on an airship that are in love but have to save the world. And I'm also writing a book about the fallout of the United States no longer existing, and how a group of ragamuffins are trying to fix that.
Weird question. But blurple. Or known to others as "indigo." That's right, that reject color of the rainbow you always forget existed!
No more questions about the mafia, Questioner!

Megalith circle in the desert
Jacob Schoof ⬤ Daylight & Architecture #3 2006
Low, wide ramps lead from the town Adeje towards the forecourt of the congress centre located above. Behind the parapet the contours of the flat crouched building are perceptible to the right.
The desert sands of southern Tenerife are the site of an unusual congress centre: MAGMA, the work of local architect Fernando Menis, comprises concrete cubes which appear to have been hewn from the island's cliffs of lava, and a corrugated roof made of fibre cement panels. Light infiltrates the interior of the building through narrow gaps in the walls and roofs.

The southeast of Tenerife Island is a barren land – a semi–desert shielded by the volcano Teide (at 3718 metres the highest peak on Spanish territory), whose sparse vegetation rather betrays the close proximity to Northern Africa than to the distant mother country. If it was not for the booming tourism, one would have very little reason to suspect the existence of larger human agglomerations here – let alone one of the most important public buildings to be built on the island for the last decades. The 30 million Euro project MAGMA was originally planned as a pure congress centre, but during the planning phase the brief was extended to include theatre and concert facilities as well – finally a complete auditorium was added. In the future the building is to host regular concerts by the Orquestra Sinfonica de Tenerife, which so far mainly performs in the auditorium of the island's capital Santa Cruz that was designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened in 2003.
Last not least, due to its good traffic location MAGMA is expected to become a focal point for Southern Tenerife's economical and cultural development: the motorway bound for Santa Cruz runs directly behind the building. The site was partially excavated out of the slope; facing towards the sea it forms a raised platform with a number of ramps running up to it.
At first glance, the congress centre situated above the town of Adeje curiously both draws on elements of international expressionism and a certain classic, tectonic heaviness, which the Spanish architecture of recent years has rediscovered. Fernando Martin Menis is well aware of this ambiguity of his design: He writes: 'From a distant point of view, the building presents itself as an arrogant construction in its forms, expressive and strong, while in short distance it dissolves in the territory, blending with the environment.'
Striving to label the unusual new building of Adeje with a common stylistic tag many critics have already likened it to Frank Gehry's architecture. Just like the Californian in his best buildings, Menis also plays with the tension of solid cubes and undulating roof elements. However, the congress centre lacks the vertical gesture of Gehry's buildings that reach to the sky; it stays close to the desert sand, thus pleasantly keeping a very down-to-earth profile. Menis compares the solid concrete cubes carrying the roofs to blocks of solidified magma; the undulating roofs themselves symbolise for him a liquid in movement that outlines the space in every direction.
With mobile partition walls the upper conference level can be divided into a maximum of 26 small rooms. The space is mainly left open, then offering an unrestricted impression of the majestically curved roof, which towards the corners lowers down to the floor level.
As one approaches the building, the fragmented shape as a whole is broken down into individual building elements with an impressive presence and many contrasting textures. Accordingly, Fernando Menis had all concrete finishes treated in such way so they appear like rough blocks straight from the quarry: while the side facades received a diagonal formwork, which conjures up the image of a pattern left by a gigantic jigsaw, the far ends where subsequently roughened with jackhammers.
A massive steel lattice with suspended 45cm tall steel girders supporting the ceiling cladding below served Menis as roof structure. The irregular and double-curved roof surface was calculated and manufactured with the CATIA software. It was originally developed for aeroplane engineering and was successfully used on a string of biomorphic building structures during the last years. The undulating roofs are clad internally and externally with flexible fibre cement panels overlapping each other like scales. Even at the edges where the upper and under side of the roof meet Menis strictly avoided any edge profiles in order to sustain the rough, stony appearance of the building. Hence, the roof edges received a jigsaw pattern that harmonizes with the rough chiselled concrete finish. Interior mechanical services such as ventilation and electrical services, the soundproofing and guide rails for the acoustic partitions are concealed within the roof cavity.
A total of twelve concrete megaliths positioned in a nearly polar array subdivide the building plan, carry the roof loads and contain secondary spaces like WCs, escape stairs, offices and the press centre. The three building entries are located in between. They are equally low-rise and are shaded by sturdy balcony parapets and cantilevered roof segments. The main entrance leads from the forecourt to the foyer space and the adjacent public cafeteria to the left, which is to insure a minimum of public life even on days without conferences. A second entrance leads from the rear of the building to the administrative wing; a third one is only used for large events and leads directly into the auditorium.
View through the upper level. Lighting is provided by flush halogen spots in the ceiling and lighting slits in the roof, through which daylight enters the interior (always indirect).
A massive, triangular balcony cantilevers from the upper floor into the auditorium. Just as natural rock formations, the formwork pattern on the walls hardly ever runs exactly horizontal or vertical; the diagonal is always dominant.
Visitors entering the building with the expectation of a common conference centre with industrial aesthetics, modular steel-glass walls and endless ceiling grids are bound to marvel at the resourcefulness of Fernando Menis' architecture: with sheer skill he gave the cave-like large spaces not only a special atmosphere, but also a flexibility that lives up to highest international standards. The 2350sqm multi-purpose hall on ground floor that houses a concert stage can also be subdivided into a maximum of nine smaller conference rooms. Also the upper floor can be used either as one 1865sqm conference hall or can be subdivided into a maximum of 26 smaller rooms. This astonishing flexibility of the programme is ensured by sound-insulated sliding walls, which are stored in back-of-house zones (Menis calls them 'wardrobe rocks').
The congress centre's colour and surface texture change in the course of the day. The roof overhangs are calculated in a way that they optimally protect the building from the strong midday sun.
Overall elevation of the building complex as viewed from the slope above the town. From here, the alternation of bulky concrete cores and the wave-like fibre cement roofs gliding across becomes visible.
In the entrance hall epitomises all the archaic power of this building: it is low and wide and relatively dark; huge hollow reinforced concrete girders span across the hall at such a low level that occasionally they almost appear to be within reach. The ventilation ducts have been integrated into the girders and the lighting system sits in the deep, dramatic recesses between them. Once again, Menis highlights here the concrete mass by showing the untreated formwork finish at the underside and by chiselling the sides. The adjacent main auditorium with its large ceiling span takes up the full height of the two to four storey building. Numerous recesses and alcoves not only make passing through the building a real sensual experience; they also enable many different uses at once: congress meeting and private conversation, lectures as well as informal social interaction.
Instead of simply fulfilling a programme and catering to every conceivable kind of use the building itself inspires a multitude of activities. The down-to-earth, stubborn architecture is at once functional and artistic: it is rational enough to enable all kinds of activities as well as being a sculptural work of art in its own right that does not depend solely on its use.
A conference room in a concrete bar. The narrow 'grietas de luz' (lighting slits) in the several meters thick ceilings and exterior walls generate some of the most impressive lighting atmospheres in the entire building.
The generous, two-storied auditorium is also divided by partition walls: dark gaps in walls and ceilings indicate these divisions. The ceilings were suspended by several meters from the roof's actual main load-bearing structure.
In the best sculptural tradition Fernando Menis makes masterly use of daylight. In southern Tenerife summer daytime highs of 40 degrees Celsius are common and generous direct day lighting of interiors is not advisable. Menis generally lights the spaces indirectly and makes restricted use of direct sunlight to highlight volumes or finishes. Narrow wall and roof light slots (grietas de luz) and circular openings – real 'light holes' (agujeros de luz) – are the most frequently use daylight openings in is design. In this respect, the press centre on the upper floor with its repletion of boxed hollow concrete girders and roof strip lights makes for a particular dramatic spatial impression. At night time, powerful halogen floodlights fitted into the ceiling gaps light the building.
Both the final building and the design process followed a sculptural design intention: the first ideas for MAGMA where shaped in a plasticine model hardly bigger than a shoebox; this was followed by larger models out of plasticine and Styrofoam that where then directly translated into architectural drawings. Like the work of a sculptor, Menis' work flow followed a pattern of a trial and error: only a few details were pre-planned and many things were only drawn, redrawn and then changed again when the project was already on site. For such a geometrically complex building with such an abundance of details like MAGMA an extremely close involvement of the architect in the building process is probably an absolute must. In this particular case the building was only made possible by a totally loyal construction team that followed the many twists and turns of Menis' ideas nearly without condition.

Fernando Martin Menis
My home – which has had a decisive influence on my work – is the Canary Islands. Because of its particular geographical position with its large distance between Europe and America and the closeness to Africa, the archipelago forms an excellent cultural and economic connecting link between the three continents. The volcanic origin and the prevailing light conditions, colours and shapes account for the typical character of the islands which are surrounded by the Atlantic.
These unique, natural conditions for their part influence the architecture, which does not submit to zeitgeist or short-term trends. When carrying out my projects – which try to capture at least a part of this uniqueness – I collect and analyse the materials which are characteristic for a building location. This approach has affected my architecture for many years. The design of a project partly on location has the doubtless advantage that examples can be produced on a 1:1 scale, allowing us to make changes in colour shades or discover unknown textures for certain materials.
The site of the future building is thus also integrated into the project in this way. Because the materials used depend on the surroundings. Independent of the outline of the building, what the facade will look like or how the building is to be divided up, I always choose the most suitable materials in my architecture, which are not only aesthetic, but also harmonize with the environment of the building. The appearance, the colour and the texture are the showpiece of a building.
The art and congress centre MAGMA Arte & Congresos on Tenerife, for example, uses flowing lines to express itself, which start at the ground and continue over the walls to the wave-shaped roof, which sits enthroned above everything and gives the building a self-contained feeling. The dominating material is concrete, as this harmonises well with the hinterland and the desert-like landscape of the south of the island. In order to help match the concrete colour more to the landscape, brittle stone originating from local quarries, which is typical for this region, was added and is responsible for providing the ochre colour. The external texture of the building is a reminder of the eroding landscape of the south; it also gives the building vitality, depending upon the day-light. The light thus underlines the texture of the building from outside. In the interior, on the other hand, light is used in another way: It gushes in cascades over the floor and walls and gives rise to a diversified play between light and shade.
With his new community centre and sports hall, architect Hiroshi Sambuichi has created a central space of gathering and representation for the island dwellers o...

Eye For Design: The Horrorist
By : Chanel Kadir 23rd July 2019
My first introduction to The Horrorist was through 'One Night in NYC', a track that will come continue to come back to haunt you. Digging through some of The Horrorist's discography following this discovery, I was drawn to the vocal-led techno records, as he's not only renowned for being an accomplished producer, he has been cited as a great contemporary singer-songwriter.
Releasing music since 1989, The Horrorist has received crossover success, dipping his toes in both worlds by releasing on both major labels and independents. He's worked with all the legends including Frankie Bones, The Hacker, Ricardo Villalobos, Marc Acardipane and DJ Rush. He also founded the highly respected label Things to Come Records which housed releases from Adam X, Acrosome, Hypnotizer and Romance Disaster. With influences drawing from EBM, post-punk and industrial elements, The Horrorist's live performance incorporate all these sounds to create an incredibly immersive experience, interacting with the crowd and putting on a full show with in your face vocals, video projection and sometimes a costume.
Ahead of his performance at Krake Festival this weekend, The Horrorist talks through five of his favourite record sleeves.
I was asked to write about five album covers I think are amazing. In addition, I was told it should be also from an album I love.
Cybotron – Enter
Reality turning into unreality. The typography. The 80s clothes and hair on the man. I just love this album cover. I remember going to Computer camp at 13 years old when computers with their low resolution displays showed their pixels and looking at trees and the world around me imaging them pixelated too. The song Enter on the album is a total masterpiece.
The Klinik – States
This album is such a dark opus. Moving Hands, Memories, Quiet in Room and Fever just blew my mind when I first heard them and I never recovered. How could an image portray such auditory power and madness. I think this album cover does it. It has submission, power, aggression and class. How amazing it all is.
Depeche Mode – Black Celebration
The mirrored building and roses. If I could live in a world that looked entire like that oh I would. The album cover is mysterious, romantic, New York, 1980s. It just makes you want to dress well. It makes you feel part of an amazing dream. It doesn't hurt that every single song on the album is perfect.
Mantronix – Mantronix
Just look at this album cover. Today's kids don't know what they are missing not to have this in 12" size to look at in their record collection. The black squares in the M and N and how the word repeats 3 times. So large and full of confidence. I'm staring at it now and it's hard to take my eyes off what an incredible album cover this is. "The Album" in red italic on the top line… it just wow.
Yello – Stella
When you discover Yello you realize you are part of a special group of people who get it. A secret club. I would drive with the windows open on summer nights playing Stella. This album was made for that. It's so strong yet purposely vague so you can fit it into your own life and story. The album cover is the same. Meaningless and full of meaning all at the same time. It's also incredibly 80s. So very wonderful.

Q: How to render bigger image with high resolution ? Using GLsurfaceview I'm using this code to make effect for the images
http://grishma102.blogspot.com/2013/10/apply-effects-on-image-using-effects.html
but my problem if I choose an image with these sizes for example ( width 4128) and ( hight 2322)
it's giving me this error message
FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 21709 java.lang.RuntimeException: glUseProgram: glError 1281
    at com.mekdev.imageaffects.GLToolbox.checkGlError(GLToolbox.java:62)

    at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1531)
    at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:1248)

please can anyone help ?

A: You should chech glError after texture loading. On large amount of mobile GPU maximun texture size is 2048x2048. Sometimes you only have to use textures with sides a power of 2(1024,2048,...). So check glError after texture loading and LogCat(on some devices easy to see whats goes wrong with GL in LogCat).  And to draw so large image use several small textures.

A: Sounds like you're exceeding the maximum texture size for the device.  Most mobile devices have a max of 2048 or 4096.
You can query it on your device with something like:
int[] values = new int[1];
GLES20.glGetIntegerv(GLES20.GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, values, 0);
// max is in values[0]

You can't have a texture larger than the max, so you'll either need to scale it to fit, or split it into more than one texture.

Eddie Hearn On Where It All Went Wrong For James DeGale
by Niall Doran - December 12, 2017 4 years ago in
Promoter Eddie Hearn opens up on behind the scenes history where his relationship with and what he believes James DeGale's career all went wrong.
DeGale lost his IBF super-middleweight world title this past weekend in a shock result where he was 1/200 on to win against underdog Caleb Truax before the fight.
Most likely the biggest upset of the year, if not the last few years no less.
His former promoter Eddie Hearn has been critical in recent times of DeGale going to the States and signing with Al Haymon.
Speaking to Kugan Cassius of IFL TV, Hearn said:
"Is there really people looking out for him? Now for James DeGale it all comes down to desire. Because if you don't have the desire in this sport – than you better get out."
"It's been a shambles since he's won that world title. If he came back here if he would listened to us he would have been a pay per view star in this country (UK) after the Dirrell fight, and by the way, he hasn't made a load of money."
He later continued:
"Loyalty is everything. The truth is that after the Dirrell fight, they went and signed with Al Haymon, I won't say without my consent, but I wasn't part of those discussions. I promoted him for what, the next two or three fights, but the relationship wasn't there."
DeGale did not have a rematch in his contract with last weekend's opponent Truax, so likely he will need to work his way back up into title contention from scratch again.
If he continues to box on.
