Investigators are pursuing pursuing all possible leads, including al-Qaida which has an active offshoot in the region As a consumer, you are blasted with the same request over and over: "Follow Us on Twitter, Like Us on Facebook." Why should I? What's in… Using a Command Processor When we think about a layered or hexagonal architecture it is common to identify the need for a service layer. The service layer both provides a facade over our domain layer to applications - acting as … Continue reading -> The Danish-Icelandic artist designed the facade of a new cultural hot spot that opens next month in Reykjavik.

The bulging glass south facade of Neil Denari's 14-story HL23 condominium tower  has an aerodynamic look and swells as it rises over the High Line in west Chelsea. Generating extra buzz around marketing campaigns worldwide is 3D projection mapping, a relatively new technology that animates stationary objects with… A selection of the best images from around the world Here's a clever architectural solution to a San Francisco homeowner's desire to add a garage to an old Victorian home without falling afoul of rules requiring the maintenance of the original facade. The homeowner, architects and engineers figured out how to turn the original bay window into a set of fold-away garage-doors. Toronto's original city plan called for coach-houses and alleys behind dwellings, rather than garages. In the older parts of the city, these are an institution. Nevertheless, it can be very difficult to get planning approval to replace one of these garages today. Canny residents and contractors have found a way around this obstacle: it's much easier to get a permit to maintain a coach-house than to tear down a falling-down house and build a new one, so some contractors specialize in building a new coach-house without tearing down the old one, keeping various pieces of the old one intact throughout the building process so that they can credibly claim to be repairing, rather than replacing it. Corey, a mechanical engineer by education and a problem solver by nature, conceived the idea of converting the walls of the bay window into door panels that ... Warming up the Kimmel Center facade from dusk to dawn through May 1 are images of dancing people - all sorts of people - made by photographer Jacques-Jean "JJ" Tiziou, the creative force behind the soon-to-bloom Philadelphia International Airport mural project "How Philly Moves."

Ever since the movie hit theaters, she's sworn that she's to credit with most of the legwork in "Black Swan". And with a her latest interview having just aired, it doesn't look like Sarah Lane is ready to give up her fight just yet. The American Ballet Theatre star, who has alleged that filmmakers lied about the extent of Natalie Portman's dancing abilities in the film, took to ABC's "20/20" Friday (April 15) to further her claim, telling, "Full body shots with actual dancing is me. That's why they hired me. They were trying to create this image, this facade, really, that Natalie had done something extraordinary. Something that is pretty much impossible ... to become a professional ballerina in a year and half." "Black Swan" editor Andy Weisblum shot back, telling the show that Miss Lane is simply overstating her responsibilities, as he said, "There are about 35 shots that are full body shots in the movie. Of those 35 shots, 12 are Natalie, and then the rest are Sarah. But over the overall film, Natalie did a lot more than that." Adding to Portman's double trouble woes is an unconfirmed report by ... _K. D. Lang_performed from her album "Sing It Loud" at Le Poisson Rouge on Thursday. A police officer keeps pedestrians away from the scene of an early car crash that ended with the car in the facade of a building along Queens Plaza. Site that streams films such as The Social Network over the web directly from DVD players claimed to infringe copyright Six Hollywood film studios are suing an internet movie-rental site, Zediva, claiming the Silicon Valley startup infringes their copyright by streaming films over the web directly from DVD players. Zediva streams movies such as The Social Network and Black Swan shortly after they are available on DVD – but weeks before legitimate sites such as Netflix have them available. Its members pay as little as $1 (61p) to stream the new releases over a two-week period. Other movie-streaming sites such as Netflix and Coinstar have licences from the studios which can require them to wait up to four weeks before making films available online, and have higher charges, typically $4 or more. The Hollywood giants – including Sony, Time Warner, 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney – argue Zediva needs a specific licence to play the DVDs, which they deem a public performance. Zediva's claim to be a traditional DVD-rental firm, such as Blockbuster and Lovefilm, is "a sham", the film studios asserted on Monday evening. Zediva claims it exploits a loophole in copyright law that means ... Magic squares have fascinated mathematicians for thousands of years. Now Lee Sallows's 'geomagic squares' offer an intriguing new perspective on them When Lee Sallows was in his 20s he moved from London to the Netherlands and dropped a lot of LSD. During one acid trip he started doodling with magic squares, a type of mathematical pursuit he had recently read about in a scientific magazine. A magic square is a grid of numbers for which every line, column and diagonal adds up to the same number. For example: 4 9 2 3 5 7 8 1 6 In this case, the rows, columns and diagonals all equal 15. The magic square is a simple concept and one that has been around for thousands of years. Mathematicians, artists and mystics have long been fascinated by the mesmerising patterns that they produce, and perhaps it is not surprising that Sallows, under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, was taken under their spell. After the ... The Gaîté Lyrique, Paris's newest theatre, is a marriage of past and future so bold it takes the breath away. Jonathan Glancey explores a temple of technology and art Everyone knows appearances can be deceptive, but the newly renovated Théâtre de la Gaîté Lyrique in central Paris takes the Bourbon biscuit. From the outside, it seems as conservative as any French arts institution. Built in 1862, its slightly pompous facade makes it every inch a creation of Napoleon III's overambitious second empire. When you walk inside today, though, a beautifully restored Italianate foyer gives way almost immediately to an ultra-modern world of pulsating, bleeping, thumping digital art, music and film. From this month, the building that in the 70s housed a circus school with elephants stabled in the attic will be simply known as La Gaîté Lyrique, an €83m (£72.5m) "theatre for the digital arts" created and paid for by the City of Paris. In fact, Gaîté Lyrique is far more than just a theatre. Bursting with energy, it is, according to its artistic director Jérôme Delormas, "a tool box", a "place of continual evolution", a "laboratory of cultural motivations". Immediately behind the lavish marble of the ...
