It’s nighttime. A full moon is on the rise. Your hands are itching, so you begin to scratch. Dark hairs start to grow on the back of your palm. Your ears, eyes, and nose begin shifting around on your head. Dropping down to all fours, you have but one thought on your mind: human flesh. A radio in the background is playing “Werewolves of London,” by Warren Zevon. In irrepressible urge to howl at the moon floods over you. But, how did we get here?

Werewolf legends are almost as time immemorial as vampire lore. Both stem from the idea of shapeshifting, albeit into bats, wolves, or whatever. One of the earliest examples is the Greek story of Lycaon, the mythic king of Arcadia. After resorting to eating human flesh, Zeus turned him into a wolf. And according to Herodotus, there was a tribe that turned into wolves once every nine years.

And these legends, again like vampires, twist and turn through the ages, mainly becoming more elaborative and exaggerative in Europe, where the wolves were thought to be evil men who were commanded to terrorize by the Devil. Some werewolves were thought to be fighters who disguised themselves in wolf clothing. Whatever the cases or the causes, one thing remained simplistic: werewolves brought murder and carnage with them.

Enter Peter Stumpp. For twenty-five years he had a track record that would make Dracula envious: he sucked the blood from goats, sheep, lambs, men, women, and children, as well as having consumed their flesh. Upon torture, he claimed to be in league with the Devil and to have had incestuous relations. Some theorize that this was socio-politically motivated, but either way the guy had a gruesome death. He was put on a wheel and had his flesh torn from his body using hot pincers, his limbs were broke and he was beheaded, all to keep him from returning from the grave. As a warning to others the torture wheel was set on top of a pole with a figure of a whole on it as well as his severed head.

But how did one become a werewolf? Two distinct ways: one, make a pact with the Devil. Two, be bitten by another werewolf. The upside to number one is that it’s less painful, but there’s the whole “selling you soul to Satan” thing. Number two is more painful, but if you kill the werewolf that bit you the “curse” is lifted. Or so Hollywood says.

And that’s where the real mythology of werewolves comes from: Hollywood. Traditionally speaking, werewolves are less romanticized than vampires and were often the excuse behind killings more appropriately attributed to serial killers and the like. Wolves in general rarely, if ever, attack a human being, but we find ourselves mortally afraid of the possibility. But once cannibalism, mutilation, and wolves are mixed with ideologies and myths reaching back to ancient times, the rest is sheer fiction.

That Hollywood history begins with “The Werewolf,” a 1913 movie about a woman taught how to change into a wolf, seeking revenge on white settlers. Also a silent film, “Wolf Blood,” was released in 1925. It’s about a logger who, after an altercation, needs a blood transfusion. He gets the blood of a wolf and imagines himself as one. Meanwhile, the rival logging company is being picked off one-by-one by wolves. Coincidence? And “Werewolf of London” (1935) was the first to show werewolves on two legs.

1941’s “The Wolf Man,” was the cornerstone to the collective werewolf mythos. Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney, Jr.) returns to his ancestral home, falls for a girl, and buys her a silver-headed walking stick with a wolf on it. When he saves her friend from an attack, he’s bitten and now cursed to be a werewolf. After roaming the countryside for a bit, he’s finally returned to normal (read: killed) by his father with his silver walking stick. Silver, changing during moonlight and the pentagram tie all came from this movie. Of note, the “changing under a full moon” idea came from the sequel, “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man.”

From that point the “Wolf Man” has met Abbott and Costello, been a teenager (“I Was a Teenage Werewolf”), and even had its own TV series (“Werewolf”). Also, watch for Benecio del Toro as “The Wolf Man” next year!

“Stick to the roads, and stay clear of the moors.”

Ya, namanya Silent Room (サイレント・ルーム), kalau tidak salah ingat. Ruangannya lapang. Di langit-langit tertempel petunjuk arah mata angin. Bukan hanya untuk sholat, bisa juga digunakan untuk ibu menyusui atau menidurkan bayinya. Makanya namanya bukan 祈祷所 (kitousho, prayer room), seperti yang kulihat di Hong Kong.

Untuk memanfaatkan ruangan itu kita diwajibkan mengisi secarik kertas kecil, formulir yang berisi data kita: nama, alamat, nomor telepon, pesawat yang akan ditumpangi, dan tujuan penggunaan ruangan tersebut. Kita akan ditanyai berapa lama akan menggunakan ruangan tersebut. Ada kemungkinan ruangan tersebut dipinjamkan secara eksklusif, artinya selama kita berada di dalamnya tidak akan ada orang lain yang masuk.

Basicamente, o Cyberbullying consiste na utilização das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação com o objectivo de maltratar, provocar, intimidar, oprimir, ameaçar, atormentar, importunar, molestar e amedrontar.

O cyberbullying é um tipo de bullying melhorado. Sendo praticado através da internet, procurando humilhar e ridicularizar alguém perante a sociedade virtual.
A usurpação de identidades, resultante da obtenção ilícita de user names e passwords e da sua utilização para se fazerem passar por outros users, são comuns. A coberto desta forma de anonimato, são difundidos rumores e boatos cruéis ou pura e simplesmente alterações dos perfis das vítimas, incluindo ofensas ou comentários sexistas ou racistas que, para além de ofensivos, podem atrair atenções não-desejadas.

Os meios virtuais utilizados para disseminar difamações e calúnias são as comunidades, e-mails, foruns, blogs e fotologs. Além de discriminar as pessoas, os autores são incapazes de se identificar. É importante dizer que mesmo anónimos, os responsáveis pela calúnia sempre são descobertos.
Como vimos, nem os blogs escapam a este tipo de utilização nefasta, não-ética e irresponsável. De facto, alguns users têm usado os blogs para difamar, prejudicar a reputação e invadir a privacidade de outros bloggers.

Não existe um tipo de pessoa específica para ser motivo de insultos, sendo que a invasão do e-mail ou a exposição de uma foto já é o bastante.
Infelizmente os meios tecnológicos que, à priori, seriam para melhorar e facilitar a vida das pessoas em todas as áreas estão a ser utilizados para menosprezar e insultar.

Convém que estejamos atentos e vigilantes…

Als besonders gefährlich stufen die Experten die TV-Klingelton-Werbung von sogenannten Premium-SMS-Diensten ein. Wichtige Vertragsbestandteile werden dabei nur kurz eingeblendet und sind kaum lesbar, so dass die jungen Kunden meist überhaupt nicht wissen, worauf sie sich einlassen. Auch bei der Klingeltonbestellung im Internet ist Vorsicht geboten: Wer die Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen (AGB) nicht genau liest oder aus Eile und mangelnder Vorsicht ein Häkchen falsch setzt, schließt nicht selten einen Abonnementvertrag ab. Grundsätzlich ist es wichtig, sich die AGB gut durchzulesen und sich immer zu notieren, bei welchem Anbieter und bei welcher Web-Seite der Klingelton bestellt wurde.

Wird der Klingelton über eine 0900-Telefonnummer angefordert, werden für den Anruf im Schnitt rund 1,86 Euro pro Minute fällig. Einige Anbieter zögern den Bestellvorgang mit unerheblichen Fragen so lange wie möglich hinaus, um möglichst viele Gebühren abzukassieren. Manchmal werden die Anrufer sogar absichtlich aus der Leitung geworfen, damit sie noch einmal telefonieren müssen und die Kosten für das Gespräch weiter steigen. Service-Angebote mit verdächtigen Rufnummern sind deshalb nach Möglichkeit zu meiden. Die Computer-Experten fordern die Lehrer dazu auf, ihre Schüler verstärkt über die Abzocke im Internet, per SMS, am Telefon und über das Fernsehen aufzuklären. Den Heranwachsenden sei zudem zu raten, die Finger von sogenannten Gratistönen, Sparpaketen oder Monatspaketen zu lassen.

Deci să purcedem :P

Michelle (Mihaela Chiticariu) este o timişoreancă de 20 anişori, care a terminat Colegiul National de Artă “Ion Vidu” sectia teatru, iar acum este studentă în anul 2 la facultatea de actorie.

"Muzica şi teatrul sunt totul pentru mine: am cantat de mult timp diverse cover-uri, am apărut şi alături de formatia rock “Vest”. Acum sper sa reusesc cu acest proiect muzical. Despre teatru pot spune ca este cel mai frumos lucru daca ajungi sa-l descoperi, teatrul este un joc, iti da posibilitatea sa fii mereu un copil."

Aceste cuvinte au fost spuse chiar de ea pe blogul personal . Păi ce altceva putem spune decât: BAFTĂ MAXIMĂ ŞI SUCCES!!!

Completely Test Your BlackBerry Phone for any Problems with this Secret Shortcut

If you own a BlackBerry mobile phone (or plan to buy one), here’s a very useful shortcut (or can we say Easter Egg) that enables you to perform a complete health checkup of your BlackBerry hardware. You will be able to test the keys of your BlackBerry keyboard, trackball movements, audio volume, Bluetooth connection, handset, speakers, LED, LCD screen pixels, etc.

To begin the test, click “Options” icon on the home screen of your BlackBerry and then select “Status.” On the status screen, type the word “test” without quotes and from the menu on the Device Self Test Application screen, select Start. If you have a BlackBerry Pearl or another model that supports SureType, use the multi-tap input method to type “test”. As you may have seen in the test report, it says “Fail” for the Keypad Backlight Test on my BlackBerry Curve – that looks like a false positive to me.

Questo che vedete è Marco Castroni di Losanna.

E' venuto a trovarmi in agenzia per vedere come facciamo coworking noi al Cowo.

Una delle cose più piacevoli che fa succedere il coworking è quella di incontrare gente.

Ok i coworkers, quello me lo aspettavo, ma di vedermi arrivare gente dalla Svizzera o da New York...

Comunque, se qualcuno ha bisogno di un desk o di una sala riunioni a Losanna, Coworking Lemans è in procinto di aprire. In una città meravigliosa. E salutatemi Marco.

Se un ragazzo non può andare a scuola molto spesso è perché vive in una condizione di povertà (materiale, fisica, familiare, ecc.). D'altra parte, l'istruzione è il fondamento per acquisire gli strumenti per una vita dignitosa e sicura. Se è vero che è per la povertà che non si va a scuola, è altrettanto vero che non andare a scuola porta alla povertà. La Campagna punta a far riflettere su questo semplice meccanismo, a far prendere consapevolezza dell'analfabetismo in Italia ed a far conoscere esperienze riuscite di aiuto concreto a ragazzi e ragazze; la raccolta fondi punta a sostenere e ad incrementare queste realtà. Naturalmente si tratta di azioni il cui effetto non sarà visibile nell'immediato, bensì a distanza di tempo. Investire oggi sull'istruzione degli altri serve a prepararsi un futuro migliore. Questo il messaggio che deve passare con la Campagna 2008, che è incentrata sull'importanza dell'alfabetizzazione e sul fatto che l'analfabetismo non è un problema solo per chi non è istruito, ma per la società nel suo complesso.

Según fuentes policiales, citadas por la agencia PTI, las detenciones se llevaron a cabo durante una redada en un establecimiento del mercado de Hari, después de haber recibido quejas de los vecinos.

Asimismo, agregó que entre los arrestados se encuentra el propietario del videoclub, quien está acusado de proyectar las películas pornográficas.

En la India los productos pornográficos están prohibidos por ley y los sectores más conservadores protestan habitualmente con cualquier manifestación pública que remita a la sexualidad, militan contra la educación mixta y defienden la censura de besos y escenas de sexo en el cine y la televisión. (EFE)

Ma cosa succede dopo?

Le dinamiche commerciali sono simili a quelle del mercato tradizionale degli allucinogeni: si comincia con file offerti gratuitamente, per passare poi alla 'somministrazione' a pagamento, con pratiche guide all'uso, tipo "Come far funzionare una dose al 100%". A questo nuovo e inquietante fenomeno si stanno interessando, oltre alla Guardia di Finanza, alcuni ricercatori dell' Isn-Cnr di Catanzaro, che da anni studiano gli effetti del suono e le modalità con cui potenziano l'effetto di alcune droghe sintetiche. Dunque, ai giovani che rischiano di cadere nel giro delle droghe in rete, Iannone consiglia "prudenza". "Non esagerare in allarmismi, ma - avverte - neppure archiviare incautamente il fenomeno come una 'bufala'. D'altra parte, questi file esistono e la gente li vende e li compra e l'esperienza dice che un mercato non si forma se i fruitori del prodotto non hanno alcun vantaggio".

Zugleich bringt der mit hohen Verlusten kämpfende US-Konzern die Fabriken in eine neue Produktionsfirma ein, an der Abu Dhabi die Mehrheit halten wird. In den USA soll zudem ein neues High-Tech-Werk gebaut werden. AMD verschafft sich mit den Milliarden des arabischen Investors Luft für den Konkurrenzkampf mit dem weitaus größeren Branchenführer Intel. Zugleich entledigt sich der Prozessoren-Spezialist weitgehend der Kosten und Risiken, die mit einer Chipproduktion verbunden sind.

Dresden werde nun zum Eckpfeiler eines neuen, weltweit aufgestellten Halbleiterunternehmens, betonte der Geschäftsführer des Standortes, Hans Deppe am Dienstag. Nach seinen Angaben werden in einem ersten Schritt «erhebliche Mittel» in den zuletzt stockenden Ausbau des Dresdner Werks Fab 38 investiert. Nach Unternehmensangaben soll im ersten Halbjahr 2009 die Volumenproduktion hochgefahren werden. In die beiden Werke Fab 36 und 38 waren bis Ende 2007 rund sechs Milliarden Dollar investiert worden. Am Dresdner AMD-Standort arbeiten rund 2800 Menschen.

AMD bekommt aus Abu Dhabi viele Milliarden Dollar in mehreren Schritten. Die staatliche Technologie-Investor des Emirats, ATIC, zahlt zunächst 2,1 Milliarden Dollar für 55,6 Prozent an der neuen Produktionsgesellschaft, die vorläufig den Namen Foundry Co. trägt. Weitere 3,6 bis 6,0 Milliarden Dollar soll die ATIC (Advanced Technology Investment Company) über die nächsten fünf Jahre in den Ausbau investieren. AMD behält an der Produktionsgesellschaft, in die die Werke einfließen, eine Beteiligung von 44,4 Prozent. Die beiden Eigner bekommen jeweils 50 Prozent der Stimmrechte.

Vampire myths disappear and reappear having existed for ages, much like their main proponent Dracula. Since ancient Persia, there have been characters throughout time that drank the blood of men (and babies) and often were members of the undead. They would evolve to be called Witches, Demons, and Vampires. Over the ages vampires became the “mythic reasoning” behind such events as the bubonic plague.

Vampires would soon have an identity in three crucial tyrants, the first of which was Gilles de Rais. Gilles was a Frenchman who searched for “the Philosopher’s Stone,” and had help from the blood of 200-300 children to do his experiments. Around the same time Vlad Tepes Dracula, Prince of Wallacia, came into power. When you have a name of Tepes (“Impaler”) and Dracula (devil or dragon, it was his dad’s name) ya gotta live up to expectations; he liberated the land from Ottoman invaders and then ordered thousands impaled for his pleasure.

The last of the three arrived in 1611 as Countess Elizabeth Bathory. Bathory’s husband was always at war, so her spare time was spent dabbling in black magic and the thought that the blood of the innocent (young girls) would keep her young and youthful. She was found out and her life spared, but was thrown in the tower.

The vampire mythos came back in the 1800’s through poetry, novels, and stage productions. “Vampyre” by John Polidori (1819) was the first vampire story written in English. Supposedly this came about the same night Mary Shelley concocted “Frankenstein.”

Not too far after came “Varney (Feast of Blood)” (1845) a full-fledged novel based off collected “penny dreadfuls,” inexpensive pulp pamphlets that used vivid imagery to describe Varney’s exploits. Varney influenced current vampire culture with the addition of fangs, leaving two puncture wounds in the neck, having hypnotic powers, and superhuman strength. However, Varney was immune to sunlight and wasn’t allergic to garlic.

“Carmilla” by J. Sheridan Le Fanu (1872) introduced the world to a female vampire. Laura, the protagonist of the story, is a young girl who has a dream in which she’s bitten by a figure who disappears. Fast forward and she becomes friends with a girl named Carmilla. After a series of incidents Carmilla is found not only to be a vampire, but Laura’s ancestor. She has to be killed by exhuming her body and destroying it by cutting off the head. This story was also the beginning of lesbian sexuality in vampire stories.

Taking 8 years, Bram Stoker delivered the eponymous epistolary novel, “Dracula,” in 1897. Taking ideas from previous novels (especially “Carmilla” and “Varney”) as well as the life and times of Vlad the Impaler, Stoker wove a story about Johnathan Harker, a real estate solicitor who travels to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains to do business with one Count Dracula. He barely gets out alive. Meanwhile, Dracula decides to do London hitting on Harker’s fiancée, Mina. When Mina’s friend Lucy begins looking pallid, Professor Abraham Van Helsing is called in. Van Helsing figures out what’s going on and is hot on Dracula’s trail. Dracula packs his bags and heads back to his castle but not before the Van Helsing faction traps and kills him.

With the advent of the motion picture in the latter portion of the 19th century, Dracula and other vampyric kin had a new world to conquer. Filmmaker Gustave Le Rouge made two movies about bat-winged, blood-drinking creatures on Mars in 1908 and 1909. Dracula himself first appeared on screen in 1922’s “Nosferatu.” German director F.W. Marnau asked permission from the Stoker estate. The Stoker estate said, “No,” and Marnau did it anyway. Changing the names of the characters, eliminating secondary players, and using a bona-fide weirdo named Max von Schreck to play Count Orlok, this film is the seminal “Dracula” movie, inspiring take-offs and even a remake in the Seventies. Of note, the Stoker estate filed a copyright infringement lawsuit and won, sinking the newly-founded Prana production company.

“Children of the night… what beautiful music they make.” The infamous Bela Lugosi “Dracula” movie was released in 1931. Now a staple of American cinematic mythos, “Dracula” cast a hypnotic spell over audiences, leading to sequels and remakes. Lugosi, a Hungarian stage actor who played Dracula in the theatrical production, was spot-on with his film delivery of the character. Of note a Spanish version was shot at the same time using the same sets.

There’s still probably the lingering question of: what about not being able to see his reflection in the mirror? Or a stake through the heart? Or being afraid of religious symbols? These ideas came mainly from various filmmakers, TV directors, and authors who would pick and choose what traits a vampire would have in regards to the story.

“Children of the night, shut up!” –“Dracula: Dead and Loving It”
