Бот Breaking News: самый эпичный способ рассказать друзьям о том, как у вас дела
В телеграме появился новый бот, который напряженным голосом и под музыку будто из новостей зачитывает любую околесицу, которую ему пришлют. Коротко рассказываем, как сделать в нем локальный видеомем.
Срочные новости
Боту Breaking News можно отправить короткий текст от 30 до 210 знаков или голосовое сообщение. В ответ он пришлет свое голосовое сообщение, где восторженный роботизированный голос читает ваш текст под тревожную музыку — прямо как в выпуске новостей. «Робот, который серьезным голосом читает глупость, — смешно, — рассказывает создатель бота Валерий Попов. — Это подходит и для настоящей политической сатиры, и для шуточек вроде «Вчера вечером Ваня Иванов ковырял в носу».
«ЧастушкиБот-2»
Автор бота — продакт-менеджер из Москвы Валерий Попов. В прошлом году он выпустил еще два бота: Not Coub, который делает видеомемы внутри телеграма, а также «ЧастушкиБот», который зачитывает присланный текст под музыку из частушек. Когда последний стал мемом в твиттере, Попов придумал нового бота — Breaking News. «Предполагалось, что частушку может быть сложно придумать, потому что нелегко найти рифму, — рассказывает он. — И я перебирал идеи, как сделать что‑то похожее по смыслу и фану, но без рифмы».
Драматичный голос
Подписка
В сутки бот обрабатывает по три бесплатных сообщения. Если хотите сделать больше срочных новостей, то нужно оплатить доступ: безлимит на один день стоит 5 рублей, на неделю — 30 рублей (в способе оплаты есть Apple Pay и Samsung Pay, поэтому сделать это довольно просто). Важно отметить, что Breaking News прощает мелкие исправления, опечатки и сокращения, например, боту можно повторно отправить тот же текст, удалив из него несколько слов, но это не будет считаться за еще одно бесплатное использование.
Как сделать из этого бота свой выпуск новостей
Самый простой способ — воспользоваться другим ботом Попова, который делает видеомемы. Ему можно отправить несколько видео — из интернета или снятых на камеру — и звуковое сопровождение, которое заменит оригинальную дорожку. А еще этот бот умеет добавлять панчлайны из видеомемов, например, Рика Эстли, поющего «Never Gonna Give You Up».
Способ сложнее — видеоредактор для айфонов Splice. Чтобы добавить голосовое сообщение из телеграма на видео, его нужно переправить — но не в другой чат, а в другое приложение. В открывшемся меню найдите иконку Splice, потом откройте сам видеоредактор и найдите в нем вкладку «Музыка» — «Импортированная музыка». Там будут все звуки, которые в Splice отправили из телеграма или других приложений.
Еще один способ — сохранить голосовое сообщение от бота на компьютер, а потом добавить на видео через интерфейс редактора Coub. Оригинальную звуковую дорожку, конечно, следует выключить.
★★★ BREAKING NEWS ★★★ # 62 TOP 100 RUSSIA ★★★
Оригинальный состав: Игорь Демидов, Вадим Таратынов, Анатолий Андрющенко.
Образовавшись в 2007 году в Туле, Breaking News уже через год вошли в ТОР 100 DJ России по версии DJ.ru, покорили многие хит-парады и выступили на ведущих танцполах и оупен эйрах страны.
Треки и ремиксы Breaking News поражают своим драйвом и одновременной техничностью. Парни успешно сочетают новейшие тенденции электронной музыки, и работают в стилях Breaks, Dubstep, Fidget House, Nudisco и Electro House.
Их хочется слушать, как в наушниках и в машине, так и отрываться под них на танцполе, а когда BN выступают на сцене, мало кому удается устоять на месте. «Живые» скретчи, синтезаторы, midi контроллеры и множество эффектов превращают их сет в необыкновенное приключение, в которое хочется окунуться и за которым хочется наблюдать.
О том, как работает трио на выступлениях, следует сказать отдельно. Здесь каждый знает свое место и дело, здесь каждый – звезда и одновременно член сплоченной команды, где друг друга понимают без слов. Играя сет, участники Breaking News не стоят на месте, а отрываются вместе с гостями вечеринки по полной программе, создавая шоу, не похожее на другие.
Треки Breaking News играют в своих сетах и радиошоу такие знаменитости, как: Westbam, Groove Armada, Freestylers, Paul Oakenfold, Joachim Garraud, Markus Schulz, JELO, Dj Icey, Flash Brothers, Far Too Loud, Drummatic Twins, Thomas Penton, General Midi, Groove Diggerz, Lady Waks, ILS, Jay Cunning, Atomic Hooligan, Ill Dj Chris B, Rasсo Dj, Slyde, Autobots, Keith Mackenzie, Leeroy Thornhill (ex Prodigy), Peter Paul, Ben & Lex, Ed Solo, Baymont Bros, Karton, SyperStuleDelux, Krafty Kuts, Kickflip, Ctrl-Z, Cosmonaut, Lee Martin, Keith McKenzie, Ragga Twins, White Papoo, B-Phreak, Hardy Hard, Access Denied и множество других музыкантов и диджеев.
Breaking News – хедлайнеры множества ведущих вечеринок страны, частые гости на крупнейших фестивалях (Kazantip, Gatecrasher, Sunvibes), участники профессиональных конференций и форумов.
В 2009 и 2010 годах Breaking News играли на главной сцене крупнейшего мирового фестиваля KAZANTIP, наряду с мировыми звездами.
На счету Breaking News релизы в Великобритании, США, Германии, Австрии, Италии, Испании, России и Греции.
Одна из интересных ипостасей участников Breaking News – радиоведущие. С 2009 года на радиостанции SINTEZ.FM (www.sintez.fm) еженедельно выходит шоу о ломаных ритмах, где музыканты рассказывают об актуальной музыке в стилях breaks, break beat, nudisco, d’n’b, hip-hop, funk, fidget.
Треки и ремиксы Breaking News издаются на таких известнейших лейблах, как Boxon Records (France), Burn The Fire (USA), BomBeatz Records (USA), DustedBreaks Records (UK), RecBag Records (De), IBWTmusic (De), Digital Sensation (UK), Re-Zone Records (RUS), VIM records (Greece).
Breaking News English Lesson: Worker Privacy

Portugal bans bosses contacting staff after work (15th November, 2021)
LISTEN
GRAMMAR
SPELL
WORDS
Technology is an integral and often indispensable part of our lives. However, it can also be an intrusive part, especially where the workplace is concerned. Many employers and bosses contact employees outside of working hours. This means staff can never entirely switch off from work. The government in Portugal has taken steps to limit this incursion into the lives of workers. It has introduced a law that prohibits employers and bosses from contacting workers by email, message or phone outside of working hours. The law applies to companies with more than 10 employees. It states that any violation constitutes a «serious offense» and could result in financial penalties.
The Portuguese government has introduced the new privacy law after receiving a deluge of complaints during the coronavirus lockdowns. An increasing number of employees are now working from home remotely because of COVID-19. The research company Gartner estimated that remote workers will nearly double to represent 32 per cent of the global workforce by the end of 2021, compared to 17 per cent in 2019. Portugal’s government said: «The employer must respect the privacy of the worker.» The new law also requires employers to provide employees with the appropriate tools to work from home, and reimburse them with any costs incurred to assist with increased energy bills.

technology is an integral and often indispensable part of our lives. however, it can also be an intrusive part, especially where the workplace is concerned. many employers and bosses contact employees outside of working hours. this means staff can never entirely switch off from work. the government in portugal has taken steps to limit this incursion into the lives of workers. it has introduced a law that prohibits employers and bosses from contacting workers by email, message or phone outside of working hours. the law applies to companies with more than 10 employees. it states that any violation constitutes a «serious offense» and could result in financial penalties.
the portuguese government has introduced the new privacy law after receiving a deluge of complaints during the coronavirus lockdowns. an increasing number of employees are now working from home remotely because of covid-19. the research company gartner estimated that remote workers will nearly double to represent 32 per cent of the global workforce by the end of 2021, compared to 17 per cent in 2019. portugal’s government said: «the employer must respect the privacy of the worker.» the new law also requires employers to provide employees with the appropriate tools to work from home, and reimburse them with any costs incurred to assist with increased energy bills
