Most current descriptions of the area refer to Malpaso Creek 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south of the Carmel River as the northern border. Members of the Harlan Family, who homesteaded the Lucia region 9 miles (14 km) south of Slates Hot Springs, said that Big Sur was "miles and miles to the north of us." : 6 Prior to the construction of Highway 1, residents on the south coast had little contact with residents to the north of them. Esther Pfeiffer Ewoldson, who was born in 1904 and was a granddaughter of Big Sur pioneers Michael and Barbara Pfeiffer, wrote that the region extended from the Little Sur River 23 miles (37 km) south to Slates Hot Springs. ![]() The various informal boundaries applied to the region have gradually expanded north and south over time. : 8 : 7 Some visitors think Big Sur only refers to Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, whose environmental setting is extremely different from the overall rocky coastal environment. The region is often confused with the small community of buildings and services 26 miles (42 km) south of Carmel in the Big Sur River valley, sometimes referred to by locals as Big Sur Village, but officially known as Big Sur. Location Approximate boundaries of the Big Sur regionīig Sur is not an incorporated town but a region without formal boundaries in California's Central Coast region. The majority of the interior region is part of the Los Padres National Forest, Ventana Wilderness, Silver Peak Wilderness or Fort Hunter Liggett. About 60% of the coastal region is owned by governmental or private agencies which do not allow any development. The program protects viewsheds from the highway and many vantage points, and severely restricts the density of development. The region is protected by the Big Sur Local Coastal Plan, which preserves it as "open space, a small residential community, and agricultural ranching." Approved in 1986, the plan is one of the most restrictive local-use programs in the state, and is widely regarded as one of the most restrictive documents of its kind anywhere. The highway has been closed more than 55 times by landslides, and in May 2017, a 2,000,000-cubic-foot (57,000 m 3) slide blocked the highway at Mud Creek, north of Salmon Creek near the San Luis Obispo County line, to just south of Gorda. ![]() Along with the ocean views, this winding, narrow road, often cut into the face of towering seaside cliffs, dominates the visitor's experience of Big Sur. The region remained one of the most inaccessible areas of California and the entire United States until, after 18 years of construction, the Carmel–San Simeon Highway (now signed as part of State Route 1) was completed in 1937. The interior region is mostly uninhabited, while the coast remains relatively isolated and sparsely populated, with between 1,800 and 2,000 year-round residents and relatively few visitor accommodations scattered among four small settlements. : 2 The larger region known as Big Sur does not have specific boundaries but is generally considered to include the 71-mile (114 km) segment of California State Route 1 between Malpaso Creek near Carmel Highlands in the north and San Carpóforo Creek near San Simeon in the south, as well as the entire Santa Lucia range between these creeks. ![]() īig Sur Village is a collection of small roadside businesses and homes. With 4.5 to 7 million visitors annually, it is among the top tourist destinations in the United States, comparable to Yosemite National Park, but with considerably fewer services, and less parking, roads, and related infrastructure. The views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for visitors from across the world. Big Sur has been called the "longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States", a sublime "national treasure that demands extraordinary procedures to protect it from development", and "one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world, an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation". It is frequently praised for its dramatic scenery. state of California, between Carmel and San Simeon, where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. ![]()

Other factors, including people's personal music tastes, could also influence how effective an alarm song is. "A tune that I am trying currently is 'Borderline' by Madonna," McFarlane says. In the study, the authors flagged two songs that they believe would be good wake-up tunes: "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys and "Close to Me" by The Cure. More research needs to be done to determine what types of songs would be best for " sleep inertia," the transition from sleep to awake, but McFarlane suggests incorporating tuneful sounds othat you can hum or sing along to. On the other hand, a startling alarm that beeps seems to "confuse our brain activity when waking," Adrian Dyer, co-author, said in a release. "Melody may 'warm our brains up' more effectively for the day's activity rather than being shocked into action." "Imagine a scenario where an athlete will perform better when they warm up," he says. The reason? Researchers hypothesize that the combination of tones that rise and fall in a song's melody "promote arousal within our system, which in turn may lead to increased alertness," Stuart McFarlane, lead study author, tells CNBC Make It in an email. Songs with melodies seem to have an energizing effect, "increasing arousal, cognition and attention," which helps you feel less groggy as you wake up, researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology wrote. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I most of the time perform under my own name, Pavel Khvaleev, having released 2 solo albums already.

And indeed, the process was truly uncomfortable: we literally spent almost two weeks in enclosed space.Starting from the first shooting day Polina slept about 3-4 hours a day and didn’t wash her hair. ![]() It was at the stage of script writing that we already knew how it would be to work with Polina Davydova, as we had interacted with her in the film Three, so we were sure, that she would endure the hardest shooting process. About Sleepless Beauty Tell me what your lead actor Polina Davydova had to endure to get into her character. I’ve been truly lucky to meet my creative half. She develops ideas, and I turn them into reality. We work together on music, videos and films. Tell me about the collaborative relationship with your writer, Aleksandra KhvaleevaĪleksandra and I met in 2008, when we were recording a musical piece, where she was a vocalist. This company made pitching and we signed a 5-year deal with Netflix. But I needed this experience to try once again! So, the next film became a hit of genre international film festivals and was noticed by UCM.ONE German distributor. About ten years ago a friend of mine said: “You are great at making videos, why not try a full-length film?” In 2013 my very first pilot film The Random (of which I am today a bit confused, frankly speaking!) was accepted by none of the international film festivals I’d applied to, all of them rejected it. In line with music I studied film making, and directing was a kind of my hobby. As a member of MOONBEAM project, which was on TOP-100 best world DJs list of DJ Mag, British musical magazine. I started making electronic music at 13, and, when I was 20, my brother and I released our first single on vinyl, on Feed Me Records Portugal label. About you I understand you are a DJ at heart and by profession: what led to the move from this to directing your first film The Random? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But, brilliant madness.Star Trek: Discovery is an American television series created for Paramount+ (originally known as CBS All Access) by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman. It’s a four-way love story going on at the moment, happening in three bodies. And with Tyler/Voq, that’s all coming to a head in the next episodes. Is there redemption in Tyler’s future? Will we see more of Mirror Voq? It was a very emotional episode and he handled it so well. It was a very emotional when we did our last scene. It was the most incredible experiences I’ve had as an actor. What was it like working with Jonathan Frakes? I mean I don’t think I’ll ever play two characters again like this- it’s not even two characters anymore - it’s three. So there’s so many different elements going on top emotional performances. There’s so many different ways the Klingon throat would work. So his American accent always has a kind of pharyngealness and I wanted to keep that up with the English when he’s doing the Klingon. But I always wanted to have a hint of Voq in Tyler. There’s so many different elements you have to think about. How did you approach doing two different voices for these characters? “It’s a four-way love story happening in three bodies.” I based it on some tribal leaders - shout out to Canadian brothers - there was a lot of pressure for that ten days. He’s speaking English this time, for example. We didn’t have much time to prepare this new Mirror Voq. What can you tell me about Mirror Universe Voq? But, yeah, I ended up fighting myself! It was madness! ![]() And he had to learn my Voq stuff for that day, and then I had to teach him my movements as Tyler. He had to learn not just my movements, but the whole scene. And then there was a brilliant stand-in on the second day. And when we shot it, I was playing Voq the first day. We did the Klingon scenes in two long days. When Tyler fight Mirror Universe Voq, are you fighting yourself? We got a fake little IMDB page, we knew Star Trek fans are really good at figuring this stuff out, but it was a nice little shout out. They told me I could choose the name for the Voq character and I ended choosing my father’s name who passed away six years ago. Tell me about the fake “actor” credited with playing Voq. Maybe he saw something in the Jekyll and Hyde thing, I assume. I feel like he gave me a headstart in the audition process because he really loved Penny Dreadful. I think that was Alex Kurtzman’s influence. Was that part of why you became Voq and Tyler? At some point, I got the phone call that I would be playing both which was amazing. I did the auditions in my kitchen with my mum and then sent in the tape. How long had you known you’d be playing two parts?Īfter I was cast, I found out I was playing a double role. ![]() And the actor revealed not only the origin of that fake actor that was supposedly playing Voq but also why the new Mirror Universe version of Voq is his favorite of the three characters he’s played on Discovery so far. Inverse spoke with Shazad Latif on a secure subspace channel before the latest Star Trek: Discovery episode aired. Though he was originally announced as playing the Klingon Kol, CBS and Latif tell Inverse that the decision for him to switch playing Voq/Tyler was made well before filming of Star Trek: Discovery began. And it took going to the Mirror Universe, and meeting an alternate - and heroic -version of Voq to make it all come out. As revealed in the latest episode, Voq was surgically altered to become Lt. Last seen in the episode “The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry,” Voq was mysteriously absent after his Klingon ally L’Rell told him that they were going to make a deal with some super-secret matriarchs. But for the rest of us, we can now, like Bones, say with confidence: Ash Tyler is a Klingon! Though teased in the previous episode, “Despite Yourself,” the latest Discovery installment, “The Wolf Inside,” fully elucidates the wrinkle of Voq and Lt. If you haven’t seen the episode of Star Trek: Discovery that just aired, this last chance to avoid a spoiler that has been brewing since 2017. And in the case of Shazad Latif on Star Trek: Discovery, it involved a lot of makeup, dodging hard questions in interviews, and even a wholly fabricated actor, complete with an IMDB page. In “The Trouble With Tribbles,” Bones was able to scan Arne Darvin (Charlie Brill) and triumphantly declare “Jim, this man’s a Klingon!” But these days, finding secret Klingons in the midst of Starfleet is trickier. Since 1967, Star Trek fans have known that Klingon double-agents could disguise themselves as humans. ![]() ![]() ![]() Smearing and streaking reduce visibility therefore, you should stay away from washer fluids that cause further impairment to your windshield instead of cleaning it.

One of the most famous emulator projects is MAME, which was first released almost twenty five years ago and has had hundreds of contributors. The coders and hackers that created the emulators are driven by many factors. Emulators are software that can behave like the hardware of a video game console, allowing you to simulate a console on your computer. The Raspberry Pi Bowman has on his desk is a basic computer loaded with emulators. Photograph: Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/REX/Shutterstock ‘I had the tools and skills’ They showed industry that there is a market.” “Coders and hackers and modders, I think, saved classic gaming. “I don’t think the industry was all that interested in providing nostalgic games until the retrogramers and the modders and the emulators took it upon themselves,” says Bowman. Nintendo is slowly adding Nintendo 64 games, some of which I played as a kid, to its Switch console. Nowadays, companies are going after the market for nostalgic gaming. “In our research we found that people who have social nostalgia memories – memories of playing games with friends in the past – they feel connected to themselves and their friends in the past, and they also feel connected in the present.” Return to this past life, play through it, and reconnect with yourself, literally. Those things can be particularly powerful for short-term stress release. You’re replaying a game from a positive childhood memory. “…With nostalgia you get sort of a bonus relatedness because you get to connect to yourself. “We already know that games are a source of psychological wellbeing,” says Bowman. We played Mario tennis with our friends, or racing games with our dads. For many people, games are intimately tied to social networks. “And then a couple of people found it and put it back together.” Reconnecting with your past selfīowman’s research shows how powerful the nostalgia from playing old video games can be. “Think about all the cultural capital that was tied up in cartridges and power cables that our parents threw away,” says Bowman. Playing them was only possible thanks to a handful of dedicated individuals, often anonymous, who remade or ported them to work on current systems. For years our favourite games were inaccessible because they were non-interoperable: the cartridges didn’t work on other devices, and old computer games wouldn’t run on newer operating systems. ![]() ![]() While music and literature has long been well-preserved, and constantly re-released, games weren’t like this.
