Product Description
"Civilization slides into the abyss of a new dark age in this horrifying apocalyptic novel. Forstchen has put Bin Laden's wet dream on paper and, in the process, taken civilization straight to the rack." ―Stephen Coonts, author of The Assassin
"The only thing more terrifying than this masterfully crafted story is the possibility of it actually happening―and not a damn thing being done to protect us." ―W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV
"Forstchen's work has flair and power." ―Joel Rosenberg, author of The Sleeping Dragon
"One of the most intriguing writers today in the field of historical and military science fiction." ―Harry Turtledove, author of Guns of the South
"Good storytelling consists very simply of creating characters so believable that the reader forms a deep bond. Forstchen did such a damned fine job with One Second After that shortly after the first page, I had been reeled in hook, line, and sinker." ―David Hagberg, author of Dance with the Dragon

Basically the premise is that a rogue nation/terrorist group sets off a couple of nuclear weapons at a high altitude over the continental US causing an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) to fry electronics all across the US. Society goes from the Information Age to Middle Ages "One Second After".
Having read lots of other post-apocalyptic fiction (Alas Babylon is one of the best BTW), this novel had promise. A mix of fairly interesting characters caught in a situation not of their making. A need to rebuild society from the ground up, and so on
Regrettably, the book doesn't live up to its promise. It follows the fairly typical plot line of most post-apocalyptic works - disaster, starvation, adaptation and finally conflict with some 'bad' people (usually outlaw bikers or such) and for this reason, I felt disappointed. It would have been nice to see something unexpected happen. Instead, the barbarian outlaw biker gang appears and threatens their idyllic little community. The stereotypes are IMHO, the worst, painting city people as fat and lazy (for the most part), and rural dwellers as smart, savvy, salt of the earth types who must rescue their inept urban neighbours from themselves. Cliched characters, like the stern retired military officer and inept bureaucrats are liberally sprinkled throughout the book.
It's not a bad book (like Levar Burton's Aftermath was), but it's not a great book, and doesn't really add anything new to the genre. On the other hand, John Birmingham's "Without Warning", takes the genre in new and exciting ways and is highly recommended.
What can I say, it's quiet at work (hotel, night shift) ...and I read the entire book in two nights.
Excellent read. Really gives you an idea of what it would be like if someone shut off the lights forever.
The book takes us through the slow and steady decline of a small town that has to deal with the sudden effects of an EMP on the Continental United States, and some other areas of the world. While they begin to feel the effects of the sudden lack of technology, you will realize that your own life (yes you in reality) is also precariously balanced on the technological edge of civilization. Things like 'just in time delivery' while a boon to the business efficiency community, takes away a safety barrier of a having a little on hand 'just in case'.
Back to the book, as the town starts to come to the realization that help is not in fact coming it must deal with the construction of a army, raiders, and a arrogant public safety chief of a neighboring town. The main character also has to deal with several personal tragedies.
In my opinion this is a great read, but the main character given his previous position in the US Military should have gotten many of the plans they had later in the book, up and running much sooner. It is an eye opener with respect to the consequences of the loss of technology.
Overall a good read.
It starts out as a normal day.
Then, a high-altitude nuclear bomb of uncertain origin explodes over the United States. And suddenly, there will never again be a 'normal day'.
Retired army colonel John Matherson teaches college, raises two daughters, and grieves the loss of his wife to cancer. Now, John must do everything he can to save his family as society begins to fail around them. John rushes to the drug store immediately. After all, his type-one diabetic 12-year-old will desperately need her insulin – and with the highways jammed with vehicles that no longer run, pharmaceutical companies that can no longer produce drugs, getting the insulin will be imperative. But there is only so much available – and after that?
Deaths start with heart attacks and eventually escalate alarmingly. Food becomes scarce, and societal breakdown proceeds with inevitable violence; towns burn, people are murdered for supplies, and roving gangs begin terrorizing towns where people have come together to help one another survive.
One Second After may not really be the "best book I have ever read" for its literary merit. Yes, it is well written, well scripted, and realistic in tone and writing style. What makes it the "best" is how REAL it is. America is, as is readily admitted by our government and military, NOT ready for an EMP.Read more ›

Have you ever felt emptiness in the midst of a celebration? As if the party were going on around you, but you couldn't join in with true abandon? A secret cheater, for example, is miserable at an awards banquet in his honor. A researcher who falsifies data to win a grant is never sure his efforts are worthy. An employee who misrepresents his performance for an incentive competition is curiously dissatisfied with the prize. Each could attend a celebration…but none could fully enjoy it.
Oddly enough, it is obedience that frees us to experience real celebration. When we live by God's precepts, we are ready at any moment to celebrate life, and to participate fully in joy. Someone has said that the greatest lie of Satan is that obedience can never bring happiness. A quick reading of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount verifies that assessment. The real joy, the real blessing, the real celebration lies in obedience. It is impossible to celebrate what God has done when we have not been a part of it through our own obedience.
Only when we give our all to a cause and follow God completely does joy burst forth when the time for celebration arrives. Holiness during the week yields joy at the worship celebration. Sacrifice over time yields joy when the challenge is ultimately met. Obedience insures we will never feel empty when the party begins!
ISAIAH 25:9 This is the Lord for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.

Anurag Kashyap looks to shoot at Maha Kumbh
Zeenews Bureau
Allahabad: Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is seeking for permission to shoot for his film at the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Allahabad.
Kashyap is working on his short film for 'Bombay Talkies' and wants to use shots of the mela for his protagonist since his story is about a common man from Allahabad who switches to the fast and pacy Mumbai-life.
He intends to film it using hidden cameras, having already used a similar technique in 'Gangs of Wasseypur' to create a grand outcome.
He has already begun the process of acquiring the necessary permissions, but he needs to go through a fair few hoops before the plan materializes.
'Bombay Talkies' is a combination of four short films, to commemorate 100 years of Indian cinema. The other three directors are Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee and Zoya Akhtar.

BEIJING and JERUSALEM, February 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
ASOCS Ltd, a Silicon IP provider of Software Defined Radio solutions and CMRI, Research Institute of CMCC Ltd. (NYSE: CHL; HKEx: 0941), the world's largest Mobile Operator, announced today the signing of a strategic memorandum of understanding for the joint development, commercialization, testing and deployment of large-scale baseband processing units for China Mobile's next generation Cloud-RAN network.
Earlier trials undertaken by leading mobile operators, identified the bottleneck of Centralized Base-band Units ("BBU"), consisting of general purpose CPU ("CPU") to perform massive and concurrent baseband calculations in cost and power efficient manner. The solution was to introduce significant offloading capabilities of such calculations with highly specialized Modem Processing Units ("MPU").
Today there is a growing understanding in the industry that such MPU should support a wide range of system partitioning, topologies and real time system performance, including large scale Collaborative Multi-point communications ("CoMP") and massive MIMO.
Moreover, since communication algorithms are evolving over time, and since the C-RAN concept provisions on-the-fly reconfiguration of the BBU to support a variety of mobile communication standards, an MPU solution which is re-configurable at runtime has a great advantage over traditional hard-wired designs.
ASOCS Software Defined Radio ("SDR") based ModemX architecture is ideally positioned for this task, allowing for optimal CPU-MPU partitioning while offering cost- and power-efficient solution, coupled with massive processing capacity.
"C-RAN is the green radio access network initiated by China Mobile with the aim of large capacity, low cost and high power efficiency," said Dr. Chihlin I, chief scientist of CMRI. "We believe that by collaborating with ASOCS, Network Equipment Vendors will be able to accelerate and optimize their development of high capacity Cloud Ran systems. The goal of CMRI is to realize C-RAN by closely co-operating with key stakeholders in the industry."
"ASOCS is pleased to take part in the development of a crucial element in the C-RAN overall solution by closely collaborating with CMRI," said Gilad Garon, CEO and Founder of ASOCS. "ASOCS Silicon IP Modem Processing Unit (MPU), implemented on our Software Defined Radio platform is ideally suited for massive processing of baseband pool of any current and future cellular technology and is yet more proof of ASOCS' long-term strategy based on its groundbreaking ModemX technology," he added.
About ASOCS
ASOCS develops and licenses plurality of software-defined modems for mobile, wireless and broadband communication, based on its Heterogeneous Many core array - ModemX is suitable for all current and future modem requirements. ASOCS CR2100 Modem Processing Unit (MPU) Silicon IP enables the highest possible capacity of Base-band Unit for C-RAN, as well as other wireless infrastructure cells from small to macro and beyond. ASOCS solutions cover a variety of mobile solutions, both for terminals and mobile network infrastructure, as well as other wireless and broadband standards.

This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbors created therein. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, information regarding ASOCS and China Mobile's collaboration, the ability to successfully develop C-RAN as currently anticipated, and China Mobile expectation for the demand of future or new products, technologies, and services.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Data science stands to take this to a level you never thought of – literally.

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions. Unfortunately, too many companies fall short in achieving their business goals by implementing incomplete solutions or not focusing on tangible use cases. In his general session at @ThingsExpo, Dave McCarthy, Director of Products...

I am trying to validate file upload by supported file types, for now I am comparing ContentType property with list of supported file types like "text/xml" "application/x-zip-compressed" etc. I have found these strings simply by trying to upload various files and checking the value of ContentType property in debug mode.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Because it is pain to check ContentType property for 20 different file types and it is huge work to find those files or create convert from other types whatever.
Is solution to compare just by file extension?
Thanks a lot.

Tickets for our Mandela Hall 1977 show are selling fast! https://t.co/pxEvxrkEih
We preview some of the top acts on the bill this year.
Summer festival season kicks into high gear this weekend with the first big event of the calendar taking place on the south coast. Tens of thousands of people will be heading to Seaclose Park on the Isle of Wight for a bill, which is top heavy on heritage acts that bring with them a sense of nostalgia. While recent years have welcomed the likes of Jay-Z, Calvin Harris and Kings Of Leon to headline, this time round it seems big names with an even bigger back catalogue are being used as the main attraction.
However, many of the headline acts seem to be experiencing a renaissance of sorts. For example, Blur, whose new album 'The Magic Whip', their first since 2003, has won critical acclaim. The former Britpop poster boys will take to the Main Stage on Saturday night in the knowledge that this is one of the first times that UK crowds will get to see this new material given the live treatment. You can expect a set heavy on those new songs, but peppered with all the classic singles, certainly a formula for a memorable festival appearance. It's a similar story for The Prodigy who'll headline the Main Stage on Friday after The Black Keys. Both acts have played the festival in recent years and here they're repeating the joint top billing that was given to Biffy Clyro and Calvin Harris last year. As with Blur, The Prodigy's new album, 'The Day Is My Enemy', has revived interest in the band following an extended period out of the spotlight. Elsewhere, Fleetwood Mac will bring proceedings to a close on Sunday, bolstered by the return of Christine McVie to the band, a set covering Rumours era gems like 'Don't Stop' and 'Songbird' is a strong possibility.

Ash - Camp Bestival 2013 held at Lulworth Castle - Day 3 - Lulworth Castle Dorset, United Kingdom - Sunday 4th August 2013
The stalwarts of indie, Ash's biography is close in length to 'War and Peace'! Having been together for nearly twenty years, they have experienced changes of line ups, seen Britpop come and go and have seen a complete change in the way people listen to music. We caught up with them back stage at Benicassim Festival to chat about the secret behind their longevity, their inventive way of combatting changes in the industry and how it's apparently more fun to be in Ash than it is to be in Bloc Party!

Ash - Saturday 31st July 2010 at Fuji Rock Festival Niigata, Japan
For those of you who are a little out of the loop, following their last album Twilight of the Innocents, Teen Britrock Heroes Ash announced that they would no longer release traditional albums, and would focus on releasing singles. This seems like a logical step, seeing as Ash have always been a much better singles band. The first fruit of this project is A-Z Vol.1, a collection of the first 13 singles (of a planned 26).
Although it looks suspiciously like a regular album, A-Z Vol.1 can really only fairly be judged as a compilation of singles. The styles of music on offer here really don't pull together one cohesive work - which is definitely one of the A-Z projects strengths. Ash have been set free to sprawl however they see fit across genre boundaries. Take the first track - True Love 1980 - a keyboard heavy electro-pop number, which sits comfortably next to the almost 6-minute rock anthem Joy Kicks Darkness. Experimental tracks that the Ash of old would never have thought about putting out like the delicate Pripyat sit shoulder to shoulder with more classic Ash moments like the fast and punchy pop punk of Command.
It has to be said that over their (almost) 20 year career, Ash have never really consistently delivered quality songs from the start to end of an album. Perhaps this is a negative side effect of growing up and evolving musically in the public eye. However, with A-Z Vol.1, Ash have really grown into the Rock band everybody knows they could be. This collection houses some of their best material, like the epic and piano led Arcadia and Neon. These songs showcase a huge and epic quality only ever really hinted at in some of Ash's earlier work. Another brilliant song on A-Z Vol. 1 is Dionysian Urge, which stands out as one of the best songs Ash have ever delivered.
In conclusion then, if you haven't been following the A-Z series, Vol.1 is as good a place as any to start. Roll on Vol.2.

Celine Dion Suggests Britney Spears to Perform in Vegas
Celine Dion has urged pop stars Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue to follow her lead and take on a Las Vegas residency, because she's enjoyed her stint on the Sin City stage so much.
Both stars are rumored to be in talks for spectacular shows in the Nevada gambling Mecca, and the Aussie singer, currently on tour with her "Aphrodite Les Folies" trek, recently declared, "I've got my Las Vegas show right here. We've been talking about it so if I do a residency I definitely have the show for it."
And stage veteran Dion, who is wowing critics with her latest Vegas residency, has told her fellow chart stars to "go for it" if they are offered a performance contract. She tells Britain's Daily Star, "If Britney and Kylie want to come to Vegas and do a residency like me, I say go for it."
"Vegas is changing. There is room for everyone, new singers and older ones. When I first came here in 2003, people said my career was over. I'm here because I love singing, and this allows me to be with my family."

ALEXANDRIA, VA—A source tells GlobeSt.com that Tishman Speyer has found a buyer for Canal Center here. Herndon, VA-based American RE Partners is said to be acquiring the 538,799-square foot office complex for $180 million. Tishman Speyer declined to comment when GlobeSt.com reached out to its spokesman.
Tishman Speyer put the four-building complex on the market in May, tapping Cassidy Turley as the broker. The complex has its appeal, located in the Old Town Alexandria submarket—an area undergoing significant revitalization in large part due to the National Science Foundation's announced last year it would take 660,848 square feet in the market by 2017.
Since then, interest by companies either connected to the government agency or hoping to capitalize on the renewed energy in Carlyle have been making inquiries and investments in the submarket, according to Stephanie Landrum, EVP and COO of the Alexandria Economic Development Partnership.
Recent examples of activity include Department of Defense's renewal of 606,575 square feet at Hoffman Tower II, an office building owned by the Hoffman Co. in Hoffman Town Center and Akridge's purchase of 2800 Eisenhower Ave.
This building will be the last of Tishman's holdings here, according to the Washington Business Journal.

I went with this one due to its impressive range of compatibility (from Windows 8 all the way back to Windows 95) along with its analogue VGA, DVI-D and HDMI interfaces (for future expandability). Also, (after downloading and reading the manual) it supported automatic aspect ratio switching for all inputs so that I could use older 4:3 graphics modes without them being force stretched to widescreen. Finally, it came with the latest in IPS LED technology for good colour and contrast, looked sleek and modern in black, wasn't beige (like my old CRT was) and at a price that's right (just £124.99 from Amazon at the time of purchase).
Like my Samsung UE26EH4510-W flat panel Smart TV, it did need a fair bit of adjustment to get it to look right for me, but with a wide range of settings available, once set up, it provides a very good looking image at native resolution (1920x1080 @ 60Hz) through the analogue VGA interface of my Belkin KVM(A) hooked up to two desktops. (Set ECO mode to -15% to reduce the brightness of the backlight a bit, before bringing the display contrast up to around 60% to improve the overall display brightness, followed by Colour Temp to 'Normal' for cooler colour and Overdrive to +1 for movies for example). It also handles older 4:3 graphics modes well on VGA analogue with auto aspect ratio switching too, after choosing a resolution from the desktop such as 1152x768, changing Aspect Ratio from 'Full' to 'Aspect', before changing the resolution back again to 1920x1080.
There are just a few niggles with it though.Read more ›

Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast (2014 Video)
Plot Summary
Fun and talented animal fairy Fawn believes you can't judge a book by its cover, or an animal by its fangs, so she befriends a huge and mysterious creature known as the NeverBeast. While Tinkerbell and her friends aren't so sure about this scary addition to Pixie Hollow, the elite Scout Fairies set out to capture the monster before he destroys their home. Fawn must trust her heart and take a leap of faith if she hopes to rally the girls to save the NeverBeast.- Written by DisneyToon Studios
The new story explores an ancient myth of a fabled creature whose distant roar sparks the curiosity of Tinker Bell's (Mae Whitman) good friend Fawn (Ginnifer Goodwin), an animal fairy who's not afraid to break the rules to help an animal in need. But this animal - massive and strange with glowing green eyes - is not really welcome in Pixie Hollow, and the scout fairies are determined to capture the mysterious beast before it destroys their home. Fawn, who sees a tender heart beneath his gruff exterior, must convince Tink and the girls to risk everything to rescue the NeverBeast before time runs out.- Written by Disneytoon Studios

Sanction lift triggers investment in Iran
16 March 2016 Business
Ambitious state plans and openness to foreign companies could combine to revive Iran's chemical industry
French prime minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has announced plans to invest €600 million (£516 million) in a five year nanotechnology R&D programme led by French-Italian semiconductor manufacturer STMicroelectronics (ST).
The Nano2017 programme follows on from Nano2012, a similar public-private initiative launched by Jacques Chirac in 2007. The announcement was made at ST's headquarters at Crolles, near Grenoble, which the company plans to expand. Research will focus on three key areas: low-power, high-performance processing, next-generation imaging (sensors and image signal processors) and embedded non-volatile memories.
The programme will also involve around 130 other partners including the LETI research laboratory (part of the government-funded French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), university departments, equipment manufacturers and small-medium enterprises. Ayrault said Nano2017 will create thousands of new jobs in France.
The funding total for Nano2017 over five years has been estimated at €3.5 billion. Alongside the government's initial investment of €600 million, around €400 million will come from Europe and €1.3 billion from ST.
