KMJQ, is an Urban Adult Contemporary-formatted radio station located in Houston, Texas. Owned by Radio One, it is one of the most well-programmed heritage urban contemporary stations in the U. S. and has a strong listenership repertoire among listeners in Houston. Co-owned with KBXX and KROI, its studios are located in the Greenway Plaza district, its 100 kW transmitter is based outside Missouri City, Texas, it is one of the high-ranking stations in Greater Houston, commanding a Top 5 position according to Arbitron, with KMJQ sometimes reaching number-one on many reports. The station went on-the-air in 1961 as KAJC-FM with studios and transmitter in Alvin, Texas, a Houston suburb. At a time when FM aired "elevator music", it was the first FM station in the Houston area to broadcast an adult contemporary and hourly news format. In 1962 and 1963 it became the first FM station in Texas to win major news awards from the UPI Texas Broadcasters' Association, including story of the year and best news coverage in population class.

In 1964, the station was sold, changed its call letters to KMSC, was moved to Clear Lake City on Galveston Bay. Styled the "Voice of the Manned Spacecraft Center", it broadcast news about the space program and easy listening music; the station call letters changed to "Clicks" as an easy listening station. In 1975, it became an affiliate of Information Service; this aired from 1975 to the end of the service in early 1977. The all-news operation originated from then-new studios in Houston; the station operated under a waiver of the FCC rules known as "Arizona Waiver" after a Glendale, Arizona station owned by Arizona Broadcasting Corporation. Back when the main studio of a station had to be inside the city of license, the Arizona Waiver allowed a station to air its recorded, non-network shows from an'auxiliary' studio and the live local public affairs shows would air from a city of license studio; this worked well with the easy listening format, as 94% of the station was recorded music and commercials.

The 6% news and non entertainment items could originate from the main studio. This was expanded to let the station broadcast its local and non network shows from the Clear Lake studios. In 1979, the Clear Lake City area was annexed by Houston, Houston became the city of license. In 1982, the transmitter was moved from downtown Houston to the new shared tower at Missouri City; the station was relaunched in 1977 as KMJQ, became Houston's first CHR/Urban Contemporary station on the FM dial, it began as "Majic 102 FM, Where the music is the Majic", went on to obtain high listenership among African American audiences, as well as a diverse audience. KMJQ was sold by Keymarket Media to the San Diego-based Noble Media in 1988, it became co-owned with KYOK months which transitioned from a R&B/soul station to a hip hop format as "YO! 1590 Raps!" in the early 1990s. In the early 1990s, KMJQ transitioned its branding to "Majic 102 Jams" and "102 Jams". Reggae was played in rotation during the transition, all the while maintaining a rubric music variety of R&B, gospel, new jack swing and hip-hop.

It dominated competition which came from KHYS in the mid-1980s. But in 1991, KMJQ gained fierce competition from KBXX upon that station's launch. KBXX a rhythmic emerged as KMJQ's prime competitor for their mutual core audience demographic; the fierce competition over the coveted 18-34 "urban" listening audience continued for three years, affecting KMJQ's dominance due to ranking behind KBXX and dropping to a Top 10 in ratings. The rivalry ended in 1994, when KBXX was sold first to Clear Channel Communications, which turned around and bought KMJQ in 1995 from Noble Media, separating it from longtime partner KYOK; that year, KMJQ modified its format to Urban Adult Contemporary and returned the "Majic 102 FM" brand to the station. From on, the station focused more on R&B, Classic soul and Quiet Storm music only. In 2000, when Clear Channel bought out radio corporations, KMJQ and KBXX were spun off to the Washington, D. C.-based Radio One, which owns both to this day. In 2000, KMJQ became the Houston affiliate of the nationally syndicated "Tom Joyner Morning Show".

In 2003, the station rebranded as "Majic 102.1, Houston's R&B Leader" to avoid frequency confusion with Beaumont, Texas Urban radio station KTCX "Magic 102.5", although longtime listeners still refer to the station as "Majic 102" based on heritage. For a brief period in 2008, the station carried Mo'Nique in the Afternoon through Radio One's syndicated division. In 2011, when KROI dropped its five-year gospel format for a news radio format, KMJQ added a digital subchannel to carry that previous format now known as "Praise Houston." "Majic 102 Jams!" was featured throughout the 1994 film Jason's Lyric.

Max earned doctorates from the universities of Würzburg, he was a professor at Berlin from 1897 until 1933.

He died in Königstein im Taunus. In 1889, in an article in the German periodical Sphinx, Dessoir coined the term'parapsychology': "If one... characterizes by para- something going beyond or besides the ordinary, than one could call the phenomena that step outside the usual process of the inner life parapsychical, the science dealing with them parapsychology. The word is not nice, yet in my opinion it has the advantage to denote a hitherto unknown fringe area between the average and the pathological states, he was skeptical of physical mediumship. He was the author of the book Vom Jenseits der Seele: Die Geheimwissenschaften in kritischer Betrachtung that went through six editions; the book contained skeptical information on the mediums Jan Guzyk, Franek Kluski, Henry Slade and many others. The 1930 sixth edition contained an exposure of the alleged poltergeist victim Eleonore Zugun. According to Dessoir she had performed the phenomena fraudulently. Dessoir was an amateur magician who had used the pseudonym "Edmund W. Rells".

The development of Final Fantasy XV, a Japanese action role-playing video game, began in 2006 shortly before its announcement at that year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. Square Enix handled primary development on Final Fantasy XV, the game was released worldwide in November 2016; the game was announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a PlayStation 3-exclusive spin-off title. It was part of Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy, a subseries of games linked by a common mythos: while retaining thematic links, specific references were removed to aid with marketing. Additional media was created to portray the world of XV without using sequels; the game was directed by Tetsuya Nomura, who created the story concept and main character designs. Nomura wanted to create a darker Final Fantasy title unsuitable for the main series; the initial development went and by 2007 the scale of the project generated discussions about rebranding the game as the next main entry in the series. Production on Versus XIII ended in 2012, when it was rebranded as Final Fantasy XV and transferred over to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The PlayStation 3 version, built using the company's proprietary Crystal Tools game engine, was abandoned due to concerns about the platform's shortening life cycle. Its engine was changed to Luminous Studio, Square Enix's custom-built engine for eighth-generation gaming hardware. After its change of platforms, the production team headed by Hajime Tabata, whose previous work included Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy Type-0, was brought on board to aid production. Tabata became co-director, was promoted to sole director after Nomura was transferred to work on other projects within the company. After the transition to eighth-generation hardware, multiple changes were made so that it better suited the new consoles and its new status as a mainline game: these included radical staff reshuffles, the reevaluation of the game's content; the latter part resulted in some characters from Versus XIII being cut. In production, multiple other studios were brought in to help with various aspects of the game.

Since its original announcement, release of information became sporadic, leading to video game journalists labeling it as vaporware and to rumors of its cancellation. After its public rebranding in 2013, the silence continued until its appearance at the 2014 Tokyo Game Show, at which point development and progress information was released on a regular basis. A demo for the game, Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae, was released in March 2015 with first print copies of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. Promotion for the title was restarted at the 2015 Gamescom, its release was delayed due to polishing work and the wish for a simultaneous worldwide release, something no other mainline Final Fantasy title had managed to accomplish. Cosmetic and story-based downloadable content were developed between 2016 and 2019 to fix issues raised by players and expand upon the base game. Final Fantasy XV was a spin-off title named Final Fantasy Versus XIII, created by Square Enix as part of the wider Final Fantasy franchise.

It was directed by Tetsuya Nomura, produced by Shinji Hashimoto and Yoshinori Kitase. Nomura created the original scenario, designed the main character, was the original director and one of the original game designers; the CGI cutscenes were directed by Takeshi Nozue, who had worked on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. The music was composed by Yoko Shimomura, the script was written by regular Final Fantasy scenario writer Kazushige Nojima. Tomohiro Hasewaga was art director, the mechanical designer was Takeyuki Takeya, the event planning director was Jun Akiyama. After the game's name and platform change in 2012, there were multiple staff reshuffles, though Shimomura, Hashimoto and Nozue retained their original positions. Nomura became co-director alongside Hajime Tabata, the director of Final Fantasy Type-0 was moved to other projects and replaced as full director by Tabata. Saori Itamuro became the new scriptwriter, using Nojima's original scenario as a base for the new work. Kitase left as co-producer, while Yusuke Naora, Isamu Kamikokuryo, many artists involved in the development of Type-0 were involved.

Non-Japanese staff included character designer Roberto Ferrari, game designer Prasert Prasertvithyakarn, party interaction designer Wan Hazmer. The staff as formed in 2012, not counting additions, was made up of the combined Final Fantasy XV and Type-0 development teams. By 2014, between 200 and 300 people were working on the game. From 2006 to 2013, Final Fantasy XV was developed by what was Square Enix 1st Production Department. In the wake of extensive business restructuring in 2013, development was transferred to the newly formed Business Division 2, headed by Tabata and incorporating the core Final Fantasy development team. In 2018, the Final Fantasy XV team were incorporated into Luminous Productions, a new subsidiary led by Tabata who continued to work on both an untitled AAA project and post-release content for Final Fantasy XV. Along with bringing in staff members from other sections of the company, they recruited help from other development studios: HexaDrive was brought in to help with engineering the game, XPEC Entertainment helped with the design for the sections of the game, Shanghai company Plusmile helped with the design of buildings, licensed middleware from U
