![]() When Billboard unveiled its annual chart at the end of 2004, “Yeah!” and “Burn” were sitting at #1 and #2, and Usher was the first artist to hold the top two spots on that chart since the Beatles in 1964. Those two back-to-back hits meant that Usher held the #1 spot for an uninterrupted 19-week run, the longest in history at that point. Ultimately, though, “Burn” blew up almost as big as “Yeah!,” and it replaced “Yeah!” at the top of the charts. Usher had wanted to release “Burn” as the album’s first single, but “Yeah!” caught on too fast. “Yeah!” got the world’s attention, but “Burn,” the second single from Confessions, gave a better idea of what Usher was trying to do. Most of Confessions is lush, expertly crafted R&B about byzantine romantic travails. That narrative turned out to be compellingly messy, and the compelling mess worked as well to sell records in 2004 as it did in 1977. They wanted to make art that would build on the image of Usher that already existed out in the world, and they wanted to get people invested in Usher’s personal narrative. For most of Confessions, though, Usher and his collaborators were chasing something else. In the context of Confessions, “Yeah!” was a glorious anomaly, an anthemic hookfest that felt bigger than any one person. But even amidst all that doom and gloom, Usher’s Confessions emerged as a bona fide blockbuster, a four-quadrant monster.Įarlier this week, writing about Usher’s insanely dominant club klaxon “ Yeah!,” I called Confessions “a Thriller for the post-Napster era.” But the better comparison might be Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, the messiest all-conquering smash of the ’70s. Young people just weren’t buying music anymore. The iTunes Music Store hadn’t yet emerged as a money-maker, and label people were mad that they had to do business according to Steve Jobs’ terms, selling all of their songs for only a dollar apiece. The labels and their lawyers had managed to put Napster out of business, but tons of other file-sharing services were popping up to fill that hole. The industry was a few years past the peak of the CD-sales boom. In 2004, the music business was in trouble. I can imagine record-label bean-counters looking back on Usher’s 2004 and softly weeping, pining for the days that they can’t have back. For that one year, Usher was putting up numbers. But nothing in the man’s career, before or since, can measure up to what Usher did in 2004, the year that he truly owned the pop charts. ![]() That happened just a couple of months ago, when a moment of beautifully hammy showmanship from a Tiny Desk Concert reached meme status. Usher might not reliably chart the way that he once did, but he can still become a viral sensation out of nowhere. Usher Raymond was a star long before 2004, and he remained a star for years after. In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. ![]() Our seats were under a camera platform!

![]() ![]() For a group whose original lineup was broken-up within two years of “Wannabe”‘s U.S. Their album, Spice, became the best-selling album by a female group in history and one of the most successful albums of all time. ![]() “Wannabe,” written in 30 minutes in their first professional songwriting session, was found to be the most recognizable song of the past 60 years according to a 2014 study by the University of Amsterdam. Filmed in London, the video shows the girls crashing the Midland Grand Hotel dressed in the signature styles of their Spice Girl identities: Sporty, Scary, Ginger, Posh and Baby Spice. The video, completed in one continuous shot, captured the free-spirited, rambunctious energy of the all-girl group. The Spice Girls stormed into the pop world with their video for “Wannabe” bringing their message of “Girl Power” with them. Rumour spread that the lethargic Yorke had been accidentally inhaling carbon monoxide through the car’s air-conditioning system and that after filming he fainted and nearly died. Yorke himself collapsed during the making of the video. After finally collapsing, the man realizes the car is leaking fuel and sets the car ablaze as the viewer’s last perspective is from within the burning car. Luckily fate intervened saving the concept for the well-matched lyrics of “Karma Police.” From the perspective of the driver’s seat, we participate in the hunting down of a man running from the car on a country road as Thom Yorke loosely mouths the lyrics in the back seat. It was reported that Glazer had originally pitched the video idea to Marilyn Manson. 20 years later, the video is still as captivating as it was in 1997. Director Jonathan Glazer (who also directed “Street Spirit (Fade Out)“), called the video a failure at the time, explaining that his attempt to have subjective, minimalist camera use and to create something hypnotic and dramatic from a single perspective wasn’t achieved. Radiohead’s music video for “Karma Police” is one of the band’s most memorable music videos.

These “hook echos” on reflectivity mode can sometimes be more well defined and help to indicate the presence of a tornado. In this case, the circled area on the reflectivity mode (the left side of the example below) is in a part of the storm where it’s possible that a tornado could form, below a bit of a hook, or curvature, of the higher reflectivity values. Sometimes, a lowering of the correlation coefficient can be “noise” on the radar, which can be a bit misleading when trying to identify if there is actually lofted debris from a tornado. In order to verify that there is actually a TDS, we need to match up the correlation coefficient radar data to the normal reflectivity mode information to see if the TDS is in a position within the storm that makes sense. Meteorologists call this signature on the correlation coefficient product a tornado debris signature (TDS). ![]() This dual-polarization product helps meteorologists confirm that there is a confirmed tornado on the ground, and the height in the atmosphere that this debris is being lofted can help to determine the intensity of the tornado. ![]() This example is from 2016 when an EF-2 tornado tracked through parts of Rolette and Towner Counties, and the circled area is where the radar sensed a low correlation coefficient due to lofted tornado debris in that area. These objects are dissimilar from the surrounding precipitation, such as rain and hail, within the storm, and the correlation coefficient product plots this as a blue area compared to the surrounding yellow and red areas, as shown below on the right side. Tornadoes can tear apart trees, homes, etc., and lift pieces of them thousands of feet up in the atmosphere. ![]() With severe weather, this can serve as a “debris tracker” for detecting where lofted debris from tornadoes is to confirm that a tornado is on the ground and doing damage. Differential reflectivity explanation and example (KFYR/NWS Bismarck)Ī second very useful dual-polarization product is called the “correlation coefficient.” This product works by determining how similar or dissimilar particles in the atmosphere are compared to their surroundings. ![]() ![]() In charge of banging on keyboards until a game pops out.įollow Tim Rudolph Software Engineer / VP of Internets Tim helps out with the banging on keyboards, and also helps connect NimbleBit's games to the internets, which is a series of tubes, not a truck.įollow Dani Rudolph Player Relations Artist Dani helps out any players who are having trouble.

The resulting “corners” are especially noticeable with larger balls, which is especially unpleasant when they are used as a head, body or other element of an amigurumi that is supposed to look “organic” and round (except maybe you want to crochet a robot). The following instructions only serve to illustrate why this variant should normally not be used. The following variation should be avoided from the beginning on, as it produces a much more “angular” looking ball. Finish: Cut the yarn, close the opening and weave in.repeat till end of the round (6 stitches). Round 18: Fill the ball with polyfill.Round 17: repeat till end of the round (12 stitches).Round 16: 1 sc, 1 decrease, repeat 5 times, 1 sc (18 stitches).Round 15: repeat till end of the round (24 stitches).Round 14: 2 sc, 1 decrease, repeat 5 times, 2 sc (30 stitches).When crocheting amigurumi, I recommend using the “ invisible decrease” as the default for crocheting stitches together, since this creates a cleaner and nicer result than the “normal decrease”. Round 7-13: 7 rounds, each round 36 sc (36 stitches).įinally, crochet rounds with decreases and eventually close the ball. ![]() rounds crocheted for the circle plus 1 more round to get a suitable middle part. You can also use this calculation as a rough rule of thumb for bigger and smaller balls, i.e. For this example, we crocheted 6 rounds in total plus 1, so 7 rounds. For the middle part, crochet as many rounds without increases or decreases as you crocheted rounds for the just finished circle plus 1. You will learn more about this further below under “Crochet Spheres in any Size”. If you crochet a bigger ball, you continue crocheting all increases every 2nd round after the 4th round offset. As you can see, the increases in round 4 and 6 were crocheted offset to the previous rounds. You should now get a reasonably round circle.
![]() Because of the game's open nature, you are free to choose between three different endings (which can vary slightly). While it can be almost fully ignored, the story explores different philosophical questions and creates it's own philosophical principle, the (philosohical) Talos principle. The story and lore of this game is loosely told through Elohim, time capsules left by Alexandra Drennan, terminals, your interaction with the MLA and QR codes left behind by preceeding test subjects of the child program.

There are 9 yellow sigils in levels A-1 to A-4, and 14 yellow sigils in levels B-1 to B-7. The Demo is also significantly different from anything in the regular game, with new secrets to discover and challenges to take. ramsza 12:47pm If I remember correct, there are some hidden stars in the messenger worlds. Solving the puzzle and then exiting without picking up the sigil will just be recorded as a 'puzzle exit' event, which means that the sigil will be there even after reloading the world. Centred in the Nexus is the ominous Tower, the one place you have been forbidden from entering by Elohim, your creator. All lands are accessed through their temples, and above them is the Nexus, a frozen Hub World stretching off to eternity. Land C, the Land of Faith, is a contrast of medieval stone ruins and chilly wooden forts. ![]() Basically, get all 129 sigils, and post a screenshot of the earliest save (checkpoint, w/e) on which you have all of them. SpinGee 5:14am missing two stars hi, i did all the stars in A,B,C and one behind tower but i still need two more to get to last third star area. Land B, the Land of the Dead, is an ancient Egyptian world whose visage seems to trigger half-corrupted random-access memories. So I dunno if anyones bothered doing 129 sigil speedruns (effectively a 100 run, since messenger hints are stupid), but a quick search doesnt bring anything up. ![]() Land A, the Land of Ruins, is where you first awaken into the world, an ancient Roman landscape constantly torn apart and put back together in new configurations. The Talos Principle takes place in a number of lands, each of which is divided into a Temple serving as a hub, and seven sub-areas filled with puzzles that need to be solved. You must save one jammer from the first level of the game, walk with it near the second riddle on the right side. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith, or to ask the difficult questions: Who are you? What is your purpose And what are you going to do about it? Read More. As if awakening from a deep sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. It's a steep mental challenge, continually pushing you up against the borders of your understanding.The Talos Principle is a philosophical first-person puzzle game from Croteam, the creators of the legendary Serious Sam series, written by Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes. Arriving at a solution means discovering the correct arrangement of all of these elements-no puzzle element is ever superfluous, all of them matter, and somehow, despite the relatively small number of components, each chamber feels substantially different.Entering a new chamber, you're asked to pull together everything you know about the pieces placed before you-the way two lasers counter one another, how blocks can be stacked on roaming drones, and so on-and then derive new interactions.
