Yanet, lateish twenties, opens her eyes, looks in the mirror, takes in air, straightens two braids of hair, hold her head in her hands, purses her lips, is called for her stage test.
She begins to sing. “People say I have to change, but I don’t care at all. I feel so free I could sing on the high-velocity train.”
The trouble is her memorised rap has become a screech and, rather than don’t give a damn, she’s hanging on every word which will be delivered by a judge sitting in the theater, who asks her to stop.
“If you had any talent, you wouldn’t be on this stage at all, he tells her…”
Dropped on Amazon’s Prime Video on Oct. 4, “Urban” is produced by Spanish free-to-air broadcaster Mediaset España, in collaboration with Alea Media and Prime Video. Mediaset España will released a first episode...

London, Feb 20 (Ians) Nature sanitizes about 41.7 million ton of human waste per year before the liquid enters the groundwater -- a service worth about $4.4 billion per year, according to a new study.
The study, published in the journal One Earth, estimates that more than 2 million cubic meters of the cities' human waste are processed each year without engineered infrastructure. This includes pit latrine waste that gradually filters through the soil -- a natural process that cleans it before it reaches groundwater.
"Nature can, and does, take the role of sanitation infrastructure," said researcher Alison Parker from the Cranfield University in the UK.
"While we are not marginalizing the vital role of engineered infrastructure, we believe a better understanding of how engineered and natural infrastructure interact may allow adaptive design and management, reducing costs, and improving effectiveness and sustainability, and safeguard the continued existence of these areas of land," Parker added.

Following her death, Alison’s parents Andy and Barbara began campaigning for stricter gun control in the U.S.--something that drew the ire of conspiracy theorists who believe attacks like Alison’s and the Sandy Hook massacre are “false flag” attacks arranged by the government.

The season one finale of Mr. Robot was a victim of bad timing, but it's certainly not the first time TV episodes have been pulled, pushed or banned due to sensitive subjects and controversial episode content. Originally scheduled to air on Wednesday, Aug. 26, the USA series' season ender was pushed a week after the shooting deaths of reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward. "The previously filmed season finale of Mr. Robot contains a graphic scene similar in nature to today's tragic events in Virginia," USA Network said in a statement on the day of the murders. "Out of respect to the victims, their families and colleagues, and our viewers, we are postponing tonight's episode. Our thoughts go...

The increasing pressure to produce traffic as much as good journalism isn’t new, but how that is manifesting across platforms is. And Thursday’s front covers of The New York Daily News and The New York Post are examples 1A and 1B. For either paper, delivering outlandish images and copy isn’t new either, but the covers that splashed graphic images of the moment Vester Flanagan shot and killed Wdbj reporter Alison Parker, 24, and photographer Adam Ward, 27, live on air set off pundits and social media.

Wdbj shooter Vester Flanagan targeted reporter Alison Parker because of harmless comments she made as an intern at the station in 2012. “One was something about ‘swinging’ by some place; the other was out in the ‘field,'” assistant news director Greg Baldwin wrote in a report that summarized complaints made by Flanagan about Parker. It referred to her as Alison Bailey; Bailey was her middle name. These are the comments Flanagan seemed to be referring to when he tweeted hours after murdering Parker and photographer Adam Ward on live TV on Wednesday.
