![]() ![]() Jaume Balaguero, Paco Plaza and Manuela Velasco returned with 2 (2009), while Plaza on his own made 3: Genesis (2012) and Balaguero 4: Apocalypse (2014). The final shot has a genuine nightmare grimness. The scenes that take into the genuinely harrowing are the last few minutes where we venture up into the penthouse attic and the entire scene switches to infra-red lighting with the two survivors stumbling blindly while something unearthly creeps about in the dark with them. ![]() is not a film that wades in gore but there are some brutal and abrupt jolts in the scenes with people grabbing others unexpectedly, the emergence of the possessed little girl, and especially the scenes with the demented old lady attacking people and Ferran Terraza’s gleeful wading into action, dispatching zombies with a sledgehammer. Once the outbreak spreads, they keep the action moving at a fast pace. Nevertheless, what Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza are trying to do is create a full-on zombie film. Furthermore, the set-up leaves us with a number of questions – if the Romanian girl was locked up in the penthouse apartment, how did the infection spread to the rest of the building? How did the authorities get wind of it and create a quarantine zone when the infection had not even spread beyond a single room? Zombie infected little girl (Claudia Silva) Possession as the cause of a zombie outbreak is something we have seen before in the Italian Demons (1985) and some of Lucio Fulci’s films but it never fully gels in any of these cases – as here, something does not fundamentally work in trying to mix a spiritual condition with an infection that gets spread by saliva and is treated as an contamination by authorities. Indeed, we start off thinking we are watching a zombie film before in the last ten minutes or so, the script takes an abrupt dogleg to show that this is actually a case of demonic possession. At most, cheats by giving us a number of situations where you keep wondering how someone could retain frame of mind to keep filming as such things are happening.Balaguero and Plaza keep explanations for what is going on scanty. TV news presenter Angela Vidal (Manuela Velasco)Where George Romero made Diary of the Dead into another of his sweeping apocalyptic works, bitingly questioning the nature of truth in the media, lacks any interest in social perspective and keeps itself as a fast and furious horror show, contained within the locale of an apartment building.Romero cheated somewhat on the camera’s eye perspective in Diary of the Dead – adding music, using smooth camera set-ups and contriving reasons to have two camera-people at times, even showing the editing in of security camera footage so as to get exterior shots.īy contrast, keeps the vision purer – it retains the single camera’s eye and is full of ragged handheld camerawork in a series of wildly vertiginous shots that have the tendency to leave one feeling seasick. (This was of course before Paranormal Activity (2007) became a massive hit in 2009 and sparked off what became known as the genre of the Found Footage horror film). Both and Diary of the Dead are depictions of an outbreak of zombies, where both films have been shot with faux reality camera as though we were watching a documentary a la The Blair Witch Project (1999). ![]() Romero’s Diary of the Dead (2007), which had its premiere only a month after did. has a number of similarities to George A. Producer Julio Fernandez and production companies Filmax International and Castelao Productions have been behind the majority of these. Paco Plaza is the relative newcomer, having previously directed the horror film Second Name (2002), the excellent Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt (2004) and the subsequent true-life supernatural manifestation film Veronica (2017) and The Grandmother (2021) about a sinister senior. Former horror fanzine editor Jaume Balaguero has been a director on the rise in the last few years with efforts like The Nameless (1999), Darkness (2002), Fragile (2005), Sleep Tight (2011), Muse (2017) and Venus (2022), as well as the story for The Nun (2005), the script for Inside (2016) and produced Summer Camp (2015). ![]() Is a collaboration between two top contemporary Spanish horror directors. ![]()

![]() ![]() Depending on where you are in your system, you'll be able to do different things with Terminal. They help you figure out your location and therefore what's just around you. That's why those red "You are here!" signs are so helpful. It's important to know where I am so I can plan my visit. For example, if I'm in Epcot, I can't ride the rides in Magic Kingdom. The things I can do depend on where I am in the park. You'll get the same empty line over and over! Since you're not giving the computer any actual instructions, it keeps showing you a new command line each time, waiting for your input. The prompt is the computer's way of saying "Hello, give me instructions!" □□ That's why, on the right-hand side, you have a cursor and space to type commands. The command line on your computer is a similar communication interface it's a portal in which you'll use your keyboard to type in a language the computer can read, and the computer will act out your instructions. You press "3," "0," and "Start" on a keypad in order to tell the microwave to heat something for 30 seconds. Imagine you're that you're using a microwave. This will vary per computer and per operating system! On the left-hand side of your command line within Terminal, you have what's called a prompt. You might see $, %, >, or other symbols, or you might see the name of your computer. The line is called the command line: First line when opening Terminal Let's visually break down what you see upon opening the Terminal. This is what it looks like on Mac: Command line appearance preferences Command line If you want to change the color of the text or your Terminal window to make it more snazzy, you can do so in the application's preferences. Imagine that your computer is just sitting there, waiting for instructions! ![]() Rest assured that nothing is currently happening. I see a simple dollar sign and a blinking cursor, but you might see the name of your computer too or other symbols: Terminal waiting for instructions My Terminal window looks like this, but yours is probably a different color or set of text on the left (which is fine!) When you first launch Terminal, you'll likely have an empty window with not much going on. ![]() It should also show you that there’s nothing to fear in using Terminal, so long as you take the time to learn the basics and understand what you’re doing.To start this chapter, you should open Terminal or the equivalent application you're using. Those are just a few of the most commonly used Terminal commands, but they should give you a flavour of how to use this most under-appreciated of Mac utilities. If you’re deleting files, it’s good practice to double-check, so to add a confirmation step put -i immediately before the file name. So, to remove our original test file, we’d type rm ~/Documents/Test/TestFile.rtf which will delete the file without asking for confirmation. To delete the test files, use the rm command. A command has three elements to it the command itself, which calls a specific tool, an option which modifies the command’s output, and an argument, which calls the resource on which the command will operate. Using Terminal is straightforward: you type a command on the command-line and press Return to execute it. We’re getting ahead of ourselves, however. Commands in Unix are shell-specific, so it’s important, say when you’re following tips written for a different flavour of Unix, that you use the right shell for the commands, or vice versa. You can run other shells with Terminal, but you’ll have to install those yourself. The ‘cursor’ is indicated by a shaded box. If you look at the command-line inside the window, you’ll see that each line starts with the name of the Mac and is followed by the name of the current user. The title bar of a Terminal window displays the name of the current user, the type of shell, and the size of the window in pixels. There are various types of shell Apple uses one called Bash. You launch it like any other and when you do, you’ll see Apple’s implementation of a Unix command-line environment, known as a shell. The first thing to understand about Terminal is that it’s just an application and it lives in the Utilities folder in Applications. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hurricane Maria made landfall as a strong Category 4 storm in southeast Puerto Rico on September 20th, 2018. In conclusion, this modeling framework can be also applied at other coastal watersheds to evaluate the projected climate change impacts on the compound flooding induced by extreme climate events. The projected SLR will have little effect on the maximum inundation depth and extent if storm surge changes are not taken into account meanwhile, it will influence the inundation duration at downstream locations. ![]() Furthermore, considerable increases in maximum inundation depth and duration in regions along the middle and downstream of Clear Creek (and also those around Clear Lake) are expected. Meanwhile, the increases in maximum inundation extent would be 11.0 % (2050s) and 19.5 % (2090s). This means a 16.1 % increase in Harvey rainfall over the watershed per degree Celsius increase in Mean Surface Temperature over the Gulf of Mexico region (18°~31° N, 77°~98° W). The results show that the projected maximum rainfall totals over the watershed would be exacerbated by 17.7 % and 49.7 % in the 2050s and 2090s (respectively) under Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP 8.5). The framework was applied to Hurricane Harvey (2017) at the Clear Creek watershed (a more » coastal watershed in the southern Houston) as a case study. To this goal, a modeling framework is designed based on the Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM), the Two-Dimensional fvand the Regional Community Earth System Model (R-CESM). This study investigates the future warmer climate impacts on hurricane-induced extreme rainfall, and-more importantly-the subsequent compound flooding at the watershed scale (from an event-based analysis perspective). Thus, how the floods induced by intense hurricanes respond to these potential changes is of great concern. The warming climate is likely to increase hurricane-associated extreme rainfall and lead to sea-level rise (SLR). A pair of high risk scenarios of the effect of a future warmer climate and a hypothetical storm similar to Harvey is also = , The variety of scientific opinions as to the human effect on precipitation and their effect on the flood are presented as detailed in the table below. The public is then invited to compare the "flood that might have been" had there not been a human interference in the climate system to the simulated actual flood in these neighborhoods. A detailed validation of the baseline simulated "flood that was" for every neighborhood is outside the scope of this article but individuals can compare the simulation to their own experiences. The public is encouraged to download this open access data and investigate their own neighborhoods of interest using free or commercial software.

Facebook's "Safety Check" feature is so popular that it's become a permanent placement on its site. Of course, this isn't the first time tech has been used to help in a catastrophe. Currently, it's counting 991 roads inundated in Houston as a result of Hurricane Harvey. It relies on the community to update the map, and so far has received more than 1,500 reports. The project, by consultants at the environmental firm Marine Weather and Climate and the tech company Tailwind Labs, is an interactive map of flooding in Houston as well as other cities like Galveston, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. But now, a project called U-Flood promises to show us exactly how bad the flooding from Hurricane Harvey really is.

Players will be blasting their way through over 40 levels of glowing neon. Your mission: avenge the human race," the game's description stated. You are the one remaining humanoid battle droid. So if blowing up a metric ton of evil robots sounds like a fun way to spend a Saturday night, then this is one title you'll probably want to get your hands on."The last human has been slain by evil killer robots. While there isn't a staggering deal of variety in terms of enemies and scenarios, there's plenty of challenge and replayability, and of course, everything is drenched in neon eye candy. Ultratron is stylish and finger-bruisingly addictive, with sexy visuals and sexier action. This is not a particularly deep experience by any means, but it's a heckuvalotta fun. Of course, when it comes down to it, skill and reflexes are the lynchpin to success, and you'll need plenty of both to make it all the way through. It adds a well-appreciated modicum of strategy to the mix, separating the game from the elder statesmen it draws inspiration from. Coinage is just rare enough to make each upgrade purchase a non-trivial matter, especially when you're down on your shields and bombs and the next boss battle is looming ever closer. The upgrades are what really tie the game together. The Robotron: 2084 model is modernized and amplified, and the result is pretty darn cool. Luckily, your score, money and upgrades are all saved at each checkpoint.Īnalysis: Pew pew pew! Ultratron is an example of a classic arcade experience redone right. True to arcade form, each block of stages must be completed in one go - run out of shields and it's back to the nearest checkpoint to start again. (Truly, man's best friends.) The game's stages are segmented into 10-level checkpoints, with a big bad boss capping each 10-stage set. In between each level, you get the option to purchase upgrades and other accessories, including smartbombs, defense drones and pets that follow and assist you by mowing down enemies with bullets, lasers and rockets. There are occasional challenge stages thrown in, requiring you to shoot or dodge a series of fast-moving enemies, as well as assault stages, where you're bombarded with the most annoyingly trigger-happy of enemies. ![]() Each level tosses you into a battle against wave after wave of mechanical baddies, and your only objective is to blast away everything in sight, collecting dots (money) and power-ups along the way. Or, if you're using an Xbox 360 controller (which Ultratron supports), simply move with the left joystick and shoot with the right. In Ultratron, you control the last remaining humanoid battle droid on a quest to destroy all robots and avenge the human race! You move your character with or the keys and use the mouse to fire. Created by Puppy Games, Ultratron is a giant neon dose of bullet-filled arcade action, taking a simple Robotron-esque shooter and dressing it up to the nines with slick, stylized graphics, plenty of upgrades and a blasting techno soundtrack.

Have a doctor remove excessive earwax buildup Eardrums are easily punctured because there is only a thin layer of skin that protects them. The reason behind this is that small objects, even semi-soft ones like cotton swabs, can easily puncture your eardrum. ![]() Here are some tips on how to clean your ears safely.ĭon’t use any small objects to clean your earsĪs we mentioned earlier, doctors recommend not using anything smaller than your elbow to clean your ears. Impaction often occurs in people who use earbuds frequently, wear hearing aids daily, wear earplugs nightly, or have a faster earwax accumulation than the average person.Įarwax buildup can affect hearing and cause pain, so it’s important for it to be removed in a safe and effective way. Some people may need to remove earwax if they have excessive buildup, otherwise known as impaction. ![]() Earwax will naturally loosen and fall out of your ears over time, so typically, most people won’t have to worry about removing it. It also helps prevent dirt and bacteria from getting into your ears. If you can’t use cotton swabs to clean your ears safely, how are you supposed to clean your ears? Let’s first take a look at the purpose of earwax and then discover why someone would need to remove it.Įarwax helps your ears stay lubricated and stops water from getting into your ear canal. But most cotton swab packages even state that the product is not for earwax removal.ĭoctors recommend never putting anything smaller than your elbow into your ear, which disqualifies a cotton swab. Also, if you feel pain at any time when removing earwax, stop immediately you may have an unrecognized perforated eardrum and should see your doctor.A common misconception that people have about cleaning their ears is that they are supposed to use cotton swabs to remove earwax. Gently rinsing the canal with rubbing alcohol will remove water and help dry the area. This leaves the ear canal moist and can allow the growth of bacteria. One caution about hydrogen peroxide: it turns into water in the ear after the oxygen bubbles off. Keep in mind that any liquid you put into a partially blocked ear may get trapped between the wax and eardrum and temporarily make the blockage worse. However, they should not be used if you have an active ear infection or a perforated eardrum, or if you've had surgery on the ear. For example, commercial over-the-counter ear drops, hydrogen peroxide, baby oil, and mineral oil are safe. You can place any of several substances into the ear canal to help soften hardened wax for easier removal. Yet sometimes earwax builds up on its own (some individuals produce more than others), or because of failed removal attempts with cotton swabs. This sticky substance traps dust and tiny particles and helps prevent objects from reaching the eardrum.Īs the earwax dries, it moves out of the canal naturally, taking debris with it. Earwax (the medical term is cerumen) is made by small glands in the ear canal. Earwax has a vital role in keeping your ears safe and healthy. Is earwax essential? What's the best home remedy for removing it?Ī. ![]() |
