Ecuador's indigenous Indians have warned president Gustavo Noboa that they will step up nationwide action in protest at the government's replacement of the 116-year-old sucre by the US dollar earlier this month.
Antonio Vargas, leader of the Indians' confederation, which represents a quarter of Ecuador's 3 million population, said dollarisation would turn Ecuador into a US colony. Academics say that Ecuador's inflation rate for this year will top 85 per cent and that the 65 to 79 per cent rise in poverty over the past 12 months will increase.
Alberto Acosta, an economic analyst at Quito's Latin American Social Research Institute, warned that Ecuador's rigid monetary policy would create problems in the event of external price shocks. He said: "The straitjacket of dollarisation will lead to even more famine, misery and unemployment. It will also lead to the closure of many companies because it boosts imports but does not encourage exports."
Quito sociologist Carlos Tutiven said Ecuadorians viewed the sucre's disappearance as the loss of a national symbol. "The change from sucres to dollars is more than an exchange of banknotes: it marks a change in the collective imagination. Currency is a symbol of belonging to a community. For some it is even a symbol of identity."
Mr Vargas, who was outvoted on the three-man junta that installed Mr Noboa, said the choice of president had been dictated by pressures from Washington and rightwing politicians in Ecuador.
He added: "This dictatorial government has shown no consideration for the people of Ecuador. Our fight will be a gradual and determined one. We fear nothing and exclude no line of action."
Mr Noboa, a former rector of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil, insisted that there could be no turning back on dollarisation.
Mr Noboa, who was in New York on D-Day to receive President Clinton's congratulations, said that the benefits over the past eight months of transition had been convincing: "We have seen growth, lower inflation and an increase in bank deposits."

This article describes the overall gameplay and background information for Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle.
Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle plays a bit like a typical Touhou Project game, or rather a typical Len'en Project game, in that the player character always faces the top of the screen, shooting at stage enemies, dodging through intricate bullet patterns and confronting challenging bosses at the end of each stage. However, it also brings a slew of new mechanics to the table that ensure that no two playthroughs will be the same.
The game can be played using a keyboard or a gamepad.
The Arrow keys (↑+↓+←+→) moves your character around.
Z shoots a short burst of bullets. It can be held down for rapid fire.
X unleashes a bomb, assuming you have any left. If your flash bomb gauge is full and you are unfocused, it unleashes a flash bomb instead. If armor mode is available, hold the key down until the flash bomb gauge has filled up blue, then release.
⇧ Shift slows down your character's movement speed and changes the nature of your shots, usually by reducing their range and directing them straight ahead.
⇧ Shift+X can still be used to unleash a bomb, assuming you have any left, if your flash bomb gauge is full.
Esc pauses the game and brings you to the in-game menu.
There are four levels of difficulty to choose from in the main game. Additionally, there are two levels of difficulty for the Extra Stage and Ex+α Stage.
物足りないかも This might leave you unsatisfied.
挑戦しちゃう? Up for a challenge?
やめときな Just give up already.
Each difficulty level features differences in the rate of enemy fire, bullet pattern density, bullet damage, enemy health bars, and enemy spell cards used. Difficulty also determines the potential quantity of sub-events happening as well as the kinds of sub-events, with more difficult events being more likely in higher difficulties. Previous games had an "Easy Extra" difficulty that's used for those who would prefer to follow on the story, but because upgrades gave simplicity to the overall gameplay, it was removed.
A character's "shot" is their primary means of attack. The shot's attack range, behavior and power depend on the chosen main character as well as the current power level and whether or not the player is currently focused.
At the start of the game, a line labeled "Item Get Border Line!" appears on the screen for a few seconds. If you move your character above this line, all items currently on-screen are drawn towards them.
Bombs (more specifically: spell cards) are a limited-use method for getting out of sticky situations. A bomb's appearance, power, range and duration depend on the chosen sub character, but it typically deals large amounts of damage to every enemy it touches in addition to cancelling out every bullet currently on-screen or fired during the bomb's duration. Characters are also invincible for the duration of the bomb.
You start the game with anywhere between 2 and 4 bombs, depending on your sub character. Extra bombs can be obtained by collecting green bomb items, which are dropped by midbosses and end-of-stage bosses. You can carry a maximum of 5 bombs. Dying will reset the amount of bombs to whatever you had when you started the game.
Normal bombs look like a black circle with a grey crescent moon. They have no special traits.
Power bombs look like a red circle with a black P in them. They are more powerful and also increase your power to max when used.
Barrier bombs look like a white circle with a cyan outline and a cyan cross. They reset your barriers to the starting amount.
Special bombs look like a white circle with a light grey star in it. They combine the effects of both the power and barrier bombs.
What kind of bomb a bomb item gives you is determined at random, but normal bombs have the highest probability, followed by power, barrier, and lastly special bombs.
If you get hit by an enemy bullet or an enemy itself, you have a short window of opportunity to use a bomb in order to save yourself. This is called deathbombing. Doing so successfully will prevent you from losing a life. As such, you will only be able to deathbomb if the damage you sustained is enough to empty your life bar.
If you lose all your lives and choose to continue, you will automatically use a bomb. This is not deducted from your bomb stack, though.
You cannot use bombs as long as the sub-event Bomb Seal (ボム封印) is active. Flash bombs can be used, however.
You start the game with 3 lives (2 extra lives) and 2 barriers. On top of that, you have a health meter and a barrier power meter.
If you get hit by enemy bullets or run into an enemy, your barrier power meter depletes. Once it has fully depleted, you lose a barrier. If you are out of barriers, you will lose health instead, and when your health runs out, you lose a life. Losing a life does not replenish your barriers.
Enabling Instant Death Mode (即死モード) makes health and barriers completely insignificant as getting hit will cause you to instantly lose a life. You start with two additional lives, however, and alcohol gain increases by a threefold (fivefold in the trial version).
Your hitbox is very small in comparison to your character, about 6 pixels in diameter or smaller, depending on the character. If you hold down ⇧ Shift, a white dot with a red outline will appear, showing the hitbox's location, but it is not indicative of the actual hitbox size. If your hitbox comes into contact with a bullet or an enemy, you have been hit.
In this game, lives are represented by red rectangles while barriers are represented by blue rectangles. Extra lives can be obtained if you clear a cell that has an Extend (エクステンド) sub-event going on without getting hit or using a bomb. 1-up items are dropped by stage 3 bosses and stage 5 bosses, as well as after the first spell card of either extra stage boss. There is no limit to how many lives or barriers you can have: If you have more than 7 lives or 6 barriers, the indicator will simply be represented as colored rectangle x amount of lives/barriers.
When you take any damage, your power is reduced by 5%, and when you lose a life, your power is reduced by 15% and 10 small power items are scattered for you to collect. You also become invulnerable for a short period of time.
If you lose all your lives, you are given the option to continue right where you left off. However, continuing will reset your score and alcohol to 0. You may continue up to 3 times in the main game. Also, you cannot continue in Extra stage.
A barrier will start to regenerate if you can go a full minute without getting hit. Once it has regenerated, the next one will start regenerating a minute after that and so on.
The amount of damage a bullet causes depends on its color. From weakest to strongest, the colors are blue, cyan, green, yellow, red, purple and white.
Pacifism (平和主義): Your health will slowly regenerate as long as you are not attacking.
Dimensional breakdown (次元決壊): Destroys a certain amount of barriers depending on the level of the event.
Barrier drain (結界干渉): Your barrier power slowly decreases, but even if it drops to nothing, it will not destroy a barrier.
Poison (瘴気): Your health slowly decreases, but running out of health this way will not kill you.
Penetration (貫通): Any damage you receive goes straight to your health, even if you have barriers.
Directly to the right of the playing field, a vertical bar fills up as you graze enemy bullets. Once it is full, it turns red and a flash bomb can be used by pressing X while unfocused.
Flash bombs are a lesser bomb with a duration of only about 1 second and an overall narrow range. Aside from that, flash bombs differ between characters in both range and behavior. They can also be used during a boss's spell card attack without forfeiting the bonus, making them situationally useful. You can only carry one flash bomb at a time.
If Taira no Fumikado is a sub character, armor mode is what you will get instead of a flash bomb. Once the flash bomb gauge has filled to at least 50%, hold down X. A blue meter will rise up, and armor mode will be activated once it has reached the top of the bar and you let go of the bomb key. Getting hit or shooting will cause the blue meter to reset. You are completely invincible during armor mode.
This system combines three characters to play as one. A trinity consists of a main character, a sub character and a support character. The main character provides the shot type and movement speed while the sub character provides the starting bombs and bomb types. The support character only has meaning if they are equipped with a skill that activates when they are support.
Each stage consists of cells. At the start of a cell, you are notified of which enemy formation of which faction you are fighting (the two factions are the Dragonfly Army and the Imperial Military, which can be in one of 15 formations at a level between 1 and 9) as well as any sub-events that may be taking place. A cell can have up to 4 sub-events going on at once.
A stage will have pre-determined the cells that contain midbosses. Stepping into one of these will have you face a midboss, rather than an enemy faction. Sub-events can still happen, though.
At the bottom of the playing field is the movement gauge, which is divided into three colors: Red (Haze Castle route) on the left, purple (Neutral route) in the middle, and white (Brilliant Pagoda route) on the right. Moving the player character to either side of the screen will tilt the gauge accordingly, and the position of it will determine which cell you advance to next.
Stages are divided in red, purple and blue sections, much like the movement gauge itself. The color of the section that the last cell you enter determines which boss you fight and which stage you move on to next.
The main challenge of the game. A boss waits for you at the end of each stage. Each boss has multiple health bars, and whenever they use a spell card, a counter appears showing you how many spell cards you have to endure for the entirety of this battle. A boss's attack patterns usually alternate between a normal attack and a spell card, though bosses may use two or three spell cards in a row towards the end of the fight.
Normal attacks are typically incrementally stronger versions of a character's basic attack. Spell cards employ much more complex bullet patterns to both bedazzle and challenge the player. If the player manages to deplete a boss's health bar during a spell card attack without getting hit or using bombs, a bonus is awarded.
Each attack is accompanied by a timer. When it runs out, the boss proceeds to their next phase, regardless if their health bar had been depleted. Simply waiting out a boss's attacks may be enough to beat them, but it won't award the player any significant score bonuses. The exception to that are spell cards during which the boss is invulnerable. Surviving these without getting hit or bombing will award a bonus just the same.
When fighting a boss, a marker will appear below the playing field, showing the boss's position on a horizontal axis. Since the boss may be obscured by their own bullet patterns, this indicator can help the player locate their target.
Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle has 4 initial teams with 3 characters each to choose from: Yabusame Houlen with Tsubakura Enraku and Shion, Taira no Fumikado with Fujiwara no Iyozane and Tsugumi Umatachi, Tenkai Zuifeng with Sukune Katano and Sese Kitsugai, and Kuroji Shitodo with Hooaka Shitodo and Aoji Shitodo. Suzumi Kuzu, the fifth team, is unlocked by completing the Extra+α stage as every other team. Each character has their own shot type and bombs, as well as different movement speeds.
Shot Type Widespread and weak dimensional fragments that slowly fan out. Gains homing lasers at 20% and 60% power. Narrow and strong concentrated shot complemented by nanomachine options that fire directly forward. At 60% power, the red shots are switched with a powerful penetrating laser, but options are lost and must be regained. Narrow pink waves with medium strength. Gains a randomly-firing secondary shot at 20% power. Deals good damage at shotgun range.
Bomb Dimensional Detachment: Long duration, harms everything on-screen, intermediately powerful. Monochrome Ray: Short, only hits what's in front of you, massive power.
Soul Siphon "Fading Sense of Self": Fairly long, drops in range from screen-filling to a small circle around Shion. Powerful.
Flash Bomb Maiden Pit: Clears a small circle around Yabusame. Vertex Emit: Clears in a cross-shape with Tsubakura at its center.
Ghost Child "Feral Ghost of Aveyron": Fires a clearing shot in a random direction, making perpendicular "slices" that clear more bullets.
Shot Type Fires throwing knives directly forward and at oblique angles to the side. Shot has wide gaps and medium power. Wide range, high power. Screen-filling, very weak.
Bomb Dharmatic Power "Myōken of Heaven's Blessing": Short burst in front of Fumikado, then screen-filling from above. Wave Card "Wave of Iyo": Very long duration, screen-filling, powerful. Revolving Life "Lady-Go-Around": Long duration, boosts Tsugumi's movement speed for its duration. Rain of bullets. Powerful.
Flash Bomb "Inherited Iron-Body Legend": Armor mode. Uprising "Kampaku Cannon": Circular shot that is fired straight forward from Iyozane.
"Cheap Impact": Circles in a cross-like formation.
Shot Type Homing shots. Gains options at 40%, 60%, 80% and maximum power for a total of four. These options follow them around and shoot lasers vertically while unfocused and horizontally while focused. Furthermore, the homing shots become more spread-out while focused. Widespread with gaps in-between, weak. Starts out pathetically weak with sporadic bones that have limited vertical range while unfocused. Gains shots at 20% power that fire off at 45° to either side. Obtains a bone spike at 60% power that shoots straight forward when unfocused and to the four cardinal directions while focused. This spike deals ridiculous amounts of damage and becomes faster at 80% and maximum power.
Bomb Prime Minister in Black Robes: Longest bomb in the game at a whopping 8-second duration. Screen-clearing. FAEB "Haniwa Bomb": Semi-long duration, range depends on how close to the center of the screen you are. Marrow Cannon "Bone Buster": Takes a second or two to charge up before it unleashes a screen-filling blast that is strong enough to tear through an entire boss lifebar.
Corpse Card "Cadaver Heart": Covers entire screen in a hash-like shape.
Shot Type Shoots in random directions when unfocused, shoots forward when focused. Weak at first, but becomes highly powerful at maximum power. Options shoot lasers instead of bullets from 60% power upwards. Ice and fire arrows. Depending on whether you're focused or unfocused, one is forward-focused while the other is omnidirectional. Fire arrows explode into fireballs on impact with enemies, the fireballs dealing even further damage. Rivals Sese in terms of shot power. Main shot is straightforward when under 20% power. Becomes slower, bubbly and somewhat less frequent afterwards. Gains 2 options at 40% power and another 2 at 80%. Shots gradually become more frequent. Damage output goes from weak to mediocre.
Bomb RNA "Retrovirus": Long duration, low range around the bomb's origin, brutalizes everything it touches. Heat Lance [Minimum]: Shoots a laser towards the top of the screen. Afterwards, the entire upper half is engulfed in flames. Shitodo Card "Blue Storm": Long duration, covers the screen with a whirlpool of bullets.
Flash Bomb Negative and Positive: Rectangle in the middle of the screen that flips bullet trajectories. Opposing Wings: Wings of fire and ice that clear an area to the player's sides.
Current Wave "Current Blast": Two orbs that spiral up the screen.
Shot Type Gathers knives that are released in an extremely powerful burst when the fire key is let go. The burst is circular when unfocused, and directed straight forward when focused. At 40%, 60%, 80%, and maximum power, Suzumi gains options that fire knives straight ahead and automatically lock on to enemies.
Bomb The screen detaches inward, and the cell or boss pattern is reset.
Flash Bomb Suzumi turns into static for as long as the bomb button is held. Thus, it's possible to flash bomb without draining the entire gauge.
次元決壊Lv1/Lv2/Lv3/Lv4 (Dimensional Breakdown) Destroys a certain amount of barriers depending on the level of the event.

遅延結界 (Delay Barrier) Bullets (except for lasers) and the player move at half their speed when inside the field.
暗中模索 (Groping in the Dark) The movement gauge becomes black, making it impossible to tell its position.
行き当たりばったり (Haphazardness) The movement gauge becomes inverted and doesn't move. Which direction the player moves at the end of the cell is decided at random.

軍備拡張 (Expansion of Armaments) This cell's army level increases by 1~3.
二重結界 (Duplex Barrier) The midboss's invincibility period at the start of their attack doubles in duration.
スリップ注意 (It's Slippy, Beware) The player's movements become like on ice.
大番狂わせ (Giant Sudden Upset) Killing regular enemies drains your shot power whereas midbosses will drop huge amounts of power items when defeated.
When bullets are destroyed, they generate grey yin-yang items. These have an initial value of 5 points, but after about a second, each consecutive item collected will increase that value by 5 points, up to a maximum of 1000 points.
Blue point items are dropped by enemies and bosses and come in two sizes. However, both have the same value which, unlike the point items in Touhou, is not affected by where on the screen they are collected. The only difference lies in the increase of the point item counter: Small items increase it by 1 while large items increase it by 5.
The shot power is converted from a percentage to a decimal number, so if, for example, your shot power is 89%, it will be turned to 0.89 for the shot power bonus.
While playing the game, you collect alcohol. This alcohol gets saved up and essentially serves as currency for the upgrade shop. Equipping purchased upgrades and skills increases your level as shown in the lower left-hand corner of the HUD. However, that number exists only for show and has no actual effect on the difficulty.
Each character (bosses included) has an upgrade, which have their own level limit. Upgrades apply to all characters.
The list of upgrades and their associated characters, along with their effects, are listed below.
In order to even unlock skills for purchase, the corresponding character's upgrade has to be purchased to at least a certain level, which is indicated by the locked skill. Playable characters have 3 skills each while boss characters have 1. However, like upgrades, boss skills apply to all characters.
Character skills, on the other hand, apply only to the team that character belongs to. Each character skill can apply to main, sub, support position, a combination of two or all three. Depending on which position it applies to, that character has to be put in that position during character select to enable the skill.
Most of these unlockables rely on other unlockables to be unlocked.
The player can get a different ending depending on the route the player takes.
To view Route 1 ending, complete the Haze route by defeating Taira no Chouki. Continues don't matter.
To view Route 2 ending, complete the Brilliant route by defeating Ooama no Ake no Mitori. Continues don't matter.
To view Route 3 ending, complete any Neutral route. Continues don't matter.
To view Route 4 bad ending, complete the True Neutral route by defeating Suzumi Kuzu with at least one continue.
To view Route 4 good ending, complete the True Neutral route by defeating Suzumi Kuzu with no continues.
To unlock a character to fight in "Practice Start" at a specific difficulty level and for a specific character and type, you must beat that character in the standard "Start" game mode at that same difficulty, using the same character and type. The character will be unlocked even if continues were used.
Suzumi Kuzu is a special hidden final boss. To unlock Suzumi, you must beat all final bosses in the game (including playables). This means beating Taira no Chouki, Clause, Yabusame Houlen, Adagumo no Yaorochi, Shion, Tsubakura Enraku, Tenkai Zuifeng and Ooama no Ake no Mitori, re-playing the game at least 8 times. After this, Suzumi can be found on Stage 6:0.
To unlock the Extra stage for a specific Team and difficulty, you must unlock and beat Suzumi Kuzu, along with the requirements as mentioned above.
To unlock Absurdly Extra Mode, you must unlock and beat Suzumi Kuzu on Unreal mode with any team. This will unlock AbEx for any team that has defeated Suzumi on any difficulty.
To unlock the Extra+α stage for a specific Team and difficulty, you must encounter and beat all three Extra stage bosses, that is Xeno a, Haiji Senri and Yago Ametsukana. After this, it will be possible go into the Extra+α stage whenever you defeat Xeno a in the neutral route.
To unlock the secret fifth team, you must complete Extra+α with the four other teams (can be done on Absurdly Extra as well). Doing this also unlocks the final character in the upgrade menu.
To unlock the option to create a custom team from any of the 13 characters, complete Extra+α with the Secret Team. This is the absolutely last unlockable feature in the game. The dialogue when using a custom team is dependent on who the main character of the team is (for example, if Shion is the main character, the dialogue will be the Shrine Team's).

Suet is a high-energy source of food for winter birds.
Include suet in cake, plug or ball suet feeders or mix suet pellet in with your seed as well as mealworms, live or dried. Birds eat approximately 25% more calories daily in the winter so beef up your feeders with these high energy foods such as mixes that include peanuts like Joe's Mix, Cabin Mix, Songbird Delight and Kracker Jax.
Add a window feeder for easy access for refilling this winter. Fill with no shell seed like Kracker Jax or Medium Sunflower Chips. With no shell to crack, birds can forage faster with less energy expended and there is no shell for you to clean up.
Refill the heated bird bath with cold water. Using warm water increases water loss by evaporation and causes the thermostat to turn off until the water temperature drops again.
Send photos of your backyard friends to info@wildbirdstore.net to be used on our in-store digital signs.
Welcome winter visiting American Tree Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos with Finches' Choice or Spectrum Mix on the ground along hedges and shrubs.
Hang Peanut Pickout feeders to attract winter migrant Red-breasted Nuthatches and resident White-breasted Nuthatches.
Sign up for our e-newsletter and receive email coupons and electronic editions of Bird's-Eye View and Jim Gilbert's Phenology.
Offer Nyjer™ or Nyjer mixes throughout the winter for goldfinches and House Finches. Goldfinches are very nomadic in the winter; abundant at the feeders one day and absent the next.
Call the Wayzata store at 952-473-4283 for our Home Delivery or Feed and Fill service before you leave for warmer climates!
Participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count in February. Sign up at www.birdsource.org/gbbc .
Feed squirrels well away from your bird feeders and keep them busy with corn cobs and a Squirrel Bungee or an in-shell peanut wreath feeder.
Watch for winter visiting birds such as Pine Siskins, Red-breasted Nuthatches and Purple Finches as well as irruptive species such as Red Polls, Great Gray Owls and Snowy Owls.
Listen for increasing bird sounds such as the drumming of woodpeckers, hooting of owls, calling of chickadees, nuthatches, cardinals, Bue Jays, House Fnches, Mourning Doves, Pheasants and the gobbling of tom turkeys.
Great Horned Owls, our earliest nesting bird, are on the nest in mid-January.
American Goldfinches begin to molt into their bright yellow feathers.
Some portion of the American Robin and Eastern Bluebird population overwinter in Minnesota. You may spot them eating crabapples, hackberry tree fruits and other berries.
Horned Larks, the first spring migrants, arrive in early February.
Canada Geese, Wood Ducks, Red-winged Blackbirds, Grackles, American Robins and Eastern Bluebirds arrive in early to mid-March.

Chaco Culture Park In NM Virtual History Mac-pc Game
Visiting From Live Oak, CA
The Center of Ancient Native American Heritage
A shallow arroyo generally known as Chaco Culture National Monument snakes its way along the N.W. lands of New Mexico. Chaco Canyon National Park is pretty much unreachable, as it means operating a motor vehicle over bumpy, crude earthen routes to access the park. When you finally do get a chance to go to Chaco and see The Kin Nahasbas Ruins, remember the Ancestral Puebloans were historic Native Americans, and their consecrated areas are worth our reverence and admiration. The region is exceptionally unique, geologically speaking, as millions of years of eroding rock lie uncovered in the rings of geologic material. The altitude is sixty two hundred feet, categorizing it as high desert wasteland, and features blistering hot summer seasons and bitter, windy winters. Hunter Gatherer humans initially settled Chaco Canyon National Historic Park in somewhere around 2900 B.C, when the climate could have been alot more appealing.
Somewhere around 850 AD, a stunning turn around took place, and the Native Americans commenced making complex rock buildings. These monuments are Great Houses, and they survive as piles of rubble even now at Chaco Canyon Assembly and engineering practices unknown in the Southwest USA were utilized to construct all these houses. Religious chambers called Great Kivas were observably displayed in The Great Houses. For a staggering three hundred, Chaco Canyon National Historic Monument remained with us as a societal capital, until events and circumstances brought the population to migrate. It is likely a combination of cultural aspects, weather, and or changes in rain fall amounts brought about the people leaving Chaco arroyo. Chaco National Monument across the years 950 AD to 1150 C.E. is the most notable genuine mystery story of the Southwestern USA.

Skeuomorphism lives! Californian design studio CreativeDash thumbs its nose at flat design with these incredible iPhone icons.
Everyone's going flat design crazy right now, with Apple rumoured to be ditching skeuomorphic design, Facebook's icon going 2D, and everyone asking 'what is flat design?'. As a result, designers have been falling over themselves to showcase their 2D talents, with flat design concepts of everything from Instagram to iOS 7 appearing online.
Not everyone is bowled over by this most clean and primary of graphic design trends, however. We get as many correspondences slating examples of flat design as praising it, so it would be no surprise to find a counter-movement in the industry - and it could well be headed up by California-based design studio CreativeDash.
These stunning photorealistic icons created by the San Francisco studio show what is left in the world of skeuomorphism to explore. "An app icon is the face of an app just as a book cover is the face of a book," the team says. "Even though people try to teach themselves to not to judge a book by its cover, it is still a very simple and efficient way to quickly assess something.

— одна из игр серии Nekketsu, является продолжением Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball-bu: Soccer-hen и футболом без правил. Игра издавалась только в Японии, но были сделаны любительские переводы на английский, польский, испанский, арабский, китайский и русский. Известна также под названием Goal 3.

Описание
Кунио предстоит сразиться с командами 12 стран (по три с четырёх континентов). Команды заметно отличаются по силе, характеристикам игроков, супер-приёмам, боевым приёмам, победным ликованиям в случае победы. Чтобы выйти на финишную прямую в битве за кубок, нужно собрать 15 побед (или немного больше).

Команда Японии под предводительством Кунио состоит из капитанов японских команд, с которыми сражались в Soccer-hen. Каждый имеет свои параметры (сила, удар, защита, скорость), свой супер-удар и свои боевые приёмы. Что касается навыков, их можно разбить на три категории: нападение (5 разных атак), прыжок (низкий и высокий с переворотом), защита с мячом (быстрый манёвр или сшибающее врагов вращение).

В поле играет 5 человек и вратарь. Вы управляете только центральным футболистом, но другим можете отдавать команды нападения, удара по воротам или паса. Перед матчем и во время перерыва можно менять состав команд, их расположение на поле. Там же можно менять характер стратегии полевых игроков в нападении, в центре, в защите, а также поведение вратаря после пойманного мяча. Также в меню можно посмотреть параметры игроков, говорить с ними, давать им различные предметы, в результате чего меняется их настроение (от этого зависит их игра, то есть в плохом настроении они не всегда буду реагировать на команду паса или удара), позвонить по телефону нескольким адресатам. Ещё в меню можно посмотреть погоду на матч, таблицу чемпионата и сменить музыку.

Есть три вида поля: трава, земля, песок. Есть разная концентрация воды на площадке — от маленьких луж до сплошного моря, при этом лужи на земле представляют собой грязь, куда игроки могут погружаться по шею. Из погоды есть: ветер, смерч, дождь, гроза. Ветер влияет на траекторию полёта мяча, смерч сдувает всё на своём пути, дождь ко второму периоду добавляет воды, молния вырубает игроков и заряжает мяч электричеством. Чем больше мяч находится на воде, тем больше он намокает и тяжелее становится. Заряжённый молнией мяч парализует игроков.

В главном меню можно выбрать прохождение игры вдвоём (второй игрок управляет вратарём), выбрать одиночный матч друг против друга (до четырёх игроков), пенальти. В последних двух вариантах можно настраивать погодные условия на своё усмотрение. Также внизу можно выбрать один из трёх уровней сложности. В оригинале при игре друг против друга доступны только 6 команд, а не все 13 (но существует хак, где разблокированы все команды). Если играть вчетвером, то 2 игрока будут в поле, а 2 — на воротах.

Несмотря на полное отсутствие правил в игре есть штрафной удар в случае, если игрока с мячом собьют противники в зоне чужих ворот. На случай равного счёта предусмотрены пенальти. По окончании основного времени идёт дополнительное, продолжительность которого просчитана с учётом разницы голов и положения вещей на поле. С мячом можно делать многое: закручивать его в полёте, делать сильный удар (мяч краснеет и летит по определённой траектории), делать супер-удар, бить головой и ногой через себя, бегать верхом на нём, водиться, навешивать и даже набивать его коленом. Супер удары, попавшие в ворота под определённым углом, рвут сетку в клочья. Также можно ползать по земле или запрыгнуть на другого игрока (это позволяет сделать ещё один мощный боевой приём).

Особенностью игры является то, что у каждого игрока различные характеристики (сила, защита, скорость, поведение, зона действия, приёмы и др.), поэтому расстановка игроков очень важна.

Detectives 4 countries team up to find Satoshi Nakamoto
According to the international group of cryptocurrency enthusiasts Findsatoshi, it's time to find Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bid on kraudfandingovom platform Boomstarter was filed by a resident of Tallinn Herman Neff, who tried to explain his action. Following is the text of the application.
"We need to find Satoshi. And this is not a trivial curiosity. Now the market is at a fragile balance. For further development of the cryptocurrency just need to know who and why created it. Was this a real enthusiast gave the world an independent currency if it was a group of people pursuing scientific or, for example, a purely selfish goals, and maybe Bitcoin — development of a large company or the IT giant? Can Bitcoin be the state development, created to control all transactions? There are many assumptions as to who might be behind this, but none of the versions has not been confirmed.
We, international group of cryptoendoliths Findsatoshi, initiate an international search for the Creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto. The cryptocurrency world needs to be sure that Bitcoin is not a global deception.
We, the fans of the cryptocurrency, who firmly believe in the ideals of digital money need to know one in my wallet for over 1 million coins. And who can suddenly bring down the market. Virtually destroy it. Piece of news about the "leak" would be enough. Too great a risk for a new economic paradigm.
Imagine that Satoshi decides to bequeath all the passwords from wallets to their descendants, not if they want overnight sell cryptocurrency?
We must learn the truth to quietly live in a cryptocurrency environment. Without fear of tomorrow behind the scenes people will come, declares that the circus is over, and disappear again.
We pay cryptocurrency to the world his faith and we have a right to know the identity of Satoshi. And if Satoshi doesn't want publicity, we need to declassify it themselves.
We are announcing fundraising for the search for the Creator of Bitcoin. We understand that only through public efforts, we can do it. As none of the intelligence agencies of the world to start a public search for this man. We're going to make the search for Satoshi to have multiple, independent detective agencies located in the United States and Japan, as well as in Europe. Detective agencies will put forward a number of requirements, including to connect to the search of linguists and IT specialists. In addition, the detective Agency will be required to conduct a public and transparent report on its activities.
Why choose a detective Agency of the United States?
Possible place of residence.
Why Japan?
The best attitude to Japan.
Why Europe?
According to some, part of a group of persons working under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto could live in Europe. Pre-selected detective Agency with headquarters in Russia and France, carrying out searches of people across the continent and International detective Agency with headquarters in the UK.
It is important to note that in the case that Satoshi will be an ordinary man, the most brilliant cryptomnesia that fear of publicity after the publication of the true name of the Creator of the first cryptocurrency or list of the names of the working group that created Bitcoin, we will not disturb it (them) in the future, and to fully preserve the integrity of his personality.
In that case, if raising funds on the international search for Satoshi Nakamoto will be completed in full, we will sign contracts with agencies of these countries. The Agency will conduct before the customer public report on its activities every three days. We, in turn, will broadcast information about the development of the investigation on different continents in the "news" section and our social networks. Will not be published of only the sensitive part, which may interfere with the investigation.
Currently selected the best in our opinion of the detective Agency in the above countries. With them held preliminary talks and obtained the consent to start work.
Detective Agency in Japan: Goro lift staff at Kayama
Detective Agency USA: New York Intelligence Agency, Inc
International detective Agency UK Private Detective London
Russian-French Agency: "Osoby"
The funds will be distributed among them in equal shares. In addition, the saved will be a bonus for the Agency have achieved the final positive outcome of the investigation.
It should be noted that on the first day of fundraising has paid $30 000, corresponding to $236 000 (15 million rubles), today the amount is over 3 million from 691 investor. Very questionable initiative, in our view. Bulgaria also has a huge reserve of Bitcoins, but to "drain" the Bulgarian cryptocurrency assets somehow no one cares. We wish Satoshi stay away from these enthusiasts.

The people's assembly system is China's fundamental political system. According to the Constitution, all the powers of the People's Republic of China belong to the people. The NPC and local people's assemblies at different levels are the organizations that exercise the power of the people. The first National People's Congress held in 1954 marked the establishment of the popular assembly system in China.
The four main functions of the AFN – legislation, supervision, appointments and dismissals, and important business decisions – also reflect that the Chinese people have the power to manage their own destiny through the AFN system. The political structural reform of China consists of continuing, perfecting and developing the system of people's assembly. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the XIth CPC Congress held in 1978, the system of popular assembly has been improved and sustained.
Fifty years of experience prove that the system of people's assembly fits perfectly with the Chinese situation. It allows the entire population to exercise power, be fully involved in making policies to lead the country and allows the State organs to co-operate closely with the socialist construction by dividing the task.
The party system applied in China is multiparty cooperation under the leadership of the CCP and the political consultation system. Beginning in the period of democratic revolution established in 1949 at the foundation of the People's Republic of China and in development since the third plenary session of the Central Committee of the XIth CPC Congress in 1978, the system is improving with common efforts from the CCP and other democratic parties since a long application of revolution, construction and reform.
Different from the multiparty or bipartite systems of the West, and the one-party system of some countries, the party system of China is characterized by the leadership of the CCP, cooperation between multiple parties, the ruling CCP and participation of multiple parties in the government of the country. Instead of forming an opposition, democratic parties are friendly parties of the CCP and participate in political affairs in union and cooperation with the CCP. "Long-term coexistence, mutual control, frank collaboration and sharing of honors and dishonor" are the fundamental principles that guide the CCP's cooperation with democratic parties. The CCP and the democratic parties regard the Constitution as a fundamental norm of their activities. The various democratic parties enjoy political freedom, organizational autonomy and equal legal status according to the constitutional limits prescribed. The Constitution states: "Multi-party cooperation and the political consultation system under the leadership of the CCP are developing constantly.


Ahhh, social media, what a love/hate relationship I have with you! I was talking a few weeks ago with a colleague whose goal in her business is to never have to use social media, and I could totally get on board with that. Can you grow a business without social media? Of course! However, there are so many examples of business owners growing quickly by effectively using social media that you can't ignore their results. But when it starts taking over your life, like it can sometimes do, some boundaries need to be put in place.
Even though Instagram isn't the biggest referrer for me, I do get lots of questions from my followers about how I use it for my business. Questions like: if you're with doTERRA, why do I see you using the #youngliving hashtag? While I'm definitely not an expert in social media marketing (some people specialize in just this!), consider this Instagram 101 for your holistic health business.
Truth be told, I've invested in a course (two, actually) to teach me how to use Instagram in my business. One I implemented about 2 years ago, which pretty much solely focused on growing your following, and the other much more focused on generating business from Instagram, I purchased in a course bundle and haven't started yet. Excuse me while I add this to my calendar for the summer ;).


When Chemist Direct offered me the opportunity to review their service I jumped at the chance. I love online shopping; it makes my life 10 times easier and whatever I can buy online I will. I hadn't heard of Chemist Direct before so I was intrigued.
Chemist Direct is exactly what it says on the tin – it is an online chemist. They provide services including an online doctor and prescription feature and the ability to buy medicines and toiletries online.
The Chemist Direct website is really user friendly and I found my way around it straight away. With a tight shopping budget I normally buy our family toiletries at the supermarket so it was interesting to see whether the prices of the products that I would normally buy (and a few treats for me too!) were competitive.
I was really impressed with their range of toiletries and I found everything that I was looking for and a few other things too!
Again, the checkout system on the website was nice and straightforward and I recieved my products within 2 working days of ordering them which I was really impressed with. There is also free delivery on purchases over £40!
The postman delivered a big box of goodies for me so instead of writing about each of the products here, I have recorded a short haul video to show you what I got.
If you are interested in any of the things I mentioned in the video, here is a quick list of the items and their prices.
Overall, I was really happy with the service I received from Chemist Direct. I was able to get things for all the family all in one place and although I didn't use it I like the idea of the online doctor and prescription service. There is also the opportunity to buy in bulk. I was happy with the prices for the products that I chose; some of them were particularly good value and I did notice they had great deals on things like suncream. Other prices matched what I would pay in a supermarket. I will definitely be visiting Chemist Direct again and would recommend that you go have a look for yourselves.
Loved your video!! And buying this on line sounds like a very nice option!

Q: Call and store data from a API in React Reducer I am particularly noob to react. Iam trying to call a API and save its data in a React reducer with Axios, but somehow the API call is not working as expected.
But while hard-coding the same output of the API in the reducer, everything works like a charm. Please help me to figure out what am I doing wrong.
Did I call the API correctly?
Here the Reducer with the Axios API call and just below is the response as hard coded:
export default function() {

  return function (dispatch) {

    axios.get("http://localhost/getUserDetails")
    .then(
      (response) => {

        dispatch({
          type: GET_USER_ROLES,
          data: (
            response.data
          )
        })

      }
    )
  }
}

{/* this below function when uncomment works totally fine
export default function() {
  return {
  "ldap": "user",
  "name": "user",
  "role": "ABC,XYZ"
}
}*/}

A: Below is the code from my sample project. Once you make the call, please write to the console.log to view the output received from API. Also, open the Dev Tools -> Network Tab to view whether the API call was successful or not.
export const addToCart = (id, qty) => async (dispatch, getState) => {
    try {
        const { data } = await axios.get(`/api/products/${id}`);

        dispatch({
            type: CART_ADD_ITEM,
            payload: {
                product: data._id,
                name: data.name,
                image: data.image,
                price: data.price,
                countInStock: data.countInStock,
                qty
            }
        });

        localStorage.setItem('cartItems', JSON.stringify(getState().cart.cartItems));

    } catch (error) {
        dispatch({
            type: null,
            payload: error.response && error.response.data.message
                ? error.response.data.message
                : error.message
        });

During the 1950s and 1960s, as United States' U-2 spy planes criss-crossed the globe taking thousands of pictures of military infrastructure, they were also digging into the archaeological record. Often, pilots would keep their cameras rolling while passing over the countryside, documenting unknown archaeological sites and landscapes with high-resolution images. Now, a pair of researchers has scanned and organized some of that film, finding new archaeological features across the Middle East.
Older aerial photos are valuable to archaeologists since they can show sites that might be covered over or developed today. But finding high-res images is difficult. According to a press release, images from the CORONA spy satellite that operated from 1959 to 1972 have been useful, but only the last five years of that program produced higher resolution images.
Emily Hammer of the University of Pennsylvania and Jason Ur of Harvard University, who study the archaeology of the Middle East, were aware that a huge trove of high-quality images from U-2 spy planes dating from the late '50s and early '60s were declassified in 1997. However, the pictures weren't scanned or indexed, which meant sorting through them was a major task.
But when the team met a Chinese researcher who had dug out the U-2 images of his home town, it set them on a new path. "Seeing the amazing quality of those archival photos, we knew that it would be worth the detective work it would take to build a systematic index of them," Ur says.
The pair began a project to find and scan the U-2 images, traveling to a National Archives facility in Kansas where the rolls of film are kept. There, they unspooled hundreds of feet of film, photographing the negatives using a 100 millimeter macro lens. Afterwards, they used GIS software to stitch the images together and create a georeferenced map.
The team details how they hunted down the photos and gives tips for fellow archaeologists interested in accessing the U-2 images in the journal Advances in Archaeological Practices.
George Dvorsky at Gizmodo reports that the hard work paid off. The U-2 film revealed 5,000 to 8,000-year old stone structures known as "desert kites," used to herd and perhaps hunt animals, as well as canal structures built by the Assyrians in northern Iraq. The researchers were also able to use the images to document communities of Marsh Arabs, a culture in southern Iraq that was displaced by the development of hydroelectric dams and the draining of the marshes by the government of Saddam Hussein in the last half of the 20th century.
The U-2, which is actually still in service with the U.S. Air Force, didn't just fly over the Middle East, meaning there are images available for many different parts of the world for any researcher with the patience to track down the negatives. In recent years "space archaeology," or using satellite imagery to find unknown sites, has become more sophisticated and there are plenty of researchers who would like to peel back the farm fields and urban sprawl that has covered the landscape over the last 60 years to see the sites that lie beneath.

Deadly Vaping Illness Could be Related to Vitamin E, US Health Officials Say
By Ed Cara on at
The number of people stricken by acute lung disease linked to e-cigarettes continues to grow, with nearly 500 suspected cases reported across the U.S. as of this week, along with two more deaths in Oregon and Indiana. But while the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and others are still saying there are multiple reasons why these products could be hurting people, health officials in New York have pointed to one ingredient in particular: vitamin E oil.
In a press conference Friday, CDC officials provided an update on the situation. There were 450 suspected or confirmed cases reported to the CDC as of Thursday. In Wisconsin, the first state to report the cluster back in July, there have been 34 confirmed cases, with an additional 12 being investigated. Illinois, with 49 currently confirmed or suspected cases, was the first state to report a death likely linked to vaping. On Wednesday, health officials in Oregon reported that a middle-aged man with severe respiratory disease linked to vaping succumbed to his injuries in July, and on Friday, another death was reported by Indiana officials. Yet another death possibly related to vaping is also being investigated, according to the CDC.
The condition still has no official name, but the CDC has created a standard guideline definition for doctors to diagnose and report cases. Sufferers are said to experience worsening symptoms like cough, fatigue, and trouble breathing in the days and weeks following vaping, while some have also had stomach issues like vomiting and diarrhea. Nearly all of the victims have been hospitalised, sometimes for weeks at a time, and some have had ongoing heart and lung problems even after treatment. In many cases, their lungs also have evidence of lipid pneumonia, a type of inflammation linked to inhaling oils.
In its briefing on Friday, CDC officials again stressed these cases aren't tied to a single e-cigarette product or ingredient. But a majority of victims have reported using products containing THC, such as waxes and oils that are heated and inhaled. Oftentimes, people have bought these products off the black market rather than through legal vape shops. These products have included counterfeit versions of cannabis-containing e-cigarettes available in some states where recreational cannabis is legal.
On Thursday, the New York State Department of Health announced an update on its own investigation, stating that officials had detected vitamin E acetate – an oily form of the vitamin commonly used in skin creams or supplements – in nearly all of their samples of products containing cannabis or THC that had been used by sick patients. The agency said vitamin E would now be a key focus of its investigation. Also on Thursday, the Washington Post reported that the Food and Drug Administration had found vitamin E in THC-containing products taken from patients across the country.
According to Sven-Eric Jordt, a Duke University researcher who has studied the potential harms of nicotine vaping, vitamin E has never turned up in the "regular" nicotine products that he or other researchers have studied. Nor does vitamin E appear to have been found in any of the legal nicotine-based e-cigarettes taken from patients.
That means there's little research on how vitamin E could affect our lungs when heated and inhaled. But there's definitely a reason to think its effects on the lung could be disastrous, even if it's safe to apply on our skin.
"If inhaled at sufficient amounts, it could certainly cause respiratory problems, maybe even lipid pneumonia, a lung inflammation associated with inhalation of oils," he told Gizmodo via email. "It is an antioxidant, and may burn and disintegrate when heated in an e-cigarette, releasing toxicants."
What's unclear at this point, though, is exactly why vitamin E is in these products. Jordt noted some vitamin E is naturally found in cannabis, so there's a chance the compound can be found in the largely unaltered cannabis oil that many vaping products use.
"On the other hand, it is entirely possible that the illegal products contained added vitamin E acetate to increase volume or dissolve THC/CBD better – or that a skin care oil was mixed in," he added. "For example, there are many CBD skin care oils marketed online that contain vitamin E acetate and other oils in addition to CBD."
There are still many unanswered questions, though. Black market products are now a common link between patients, but there are a minority of sickened people who reported using only nicotine products (of course, it's possible these patients are reluctant to admit cannabis or THC use). In the Oregon death, the patient did report using cannabis oil, but it was purchased from a legal vape shop.
One major problem is that e-cigarette liquid can contain such a large number of ingredients, especially if it's illicitly made. We're still barely scratching the surface of how these chemicals interact with one another or our lungs.
Jordt pointed out that some companies – billing themselves as the healthy alternative to nicotine vaping – are selling e-cigarette products that explicitly let people vape vitamins, including vitamin E. Neither the CDC nor other health agencies have implicated these kinds of products in the illness cluster, but regardless, it'll take a long time before we can be sure of what any of these products can do to our health.
In the meantime, the CDC has one clear piece of advice: Avoid buying any vaping products sold through the black market, including online.

Lala Anthony says Carmelo will re-sign with New York Knicks

Baller Mind Frame's No Layups brings you the hottest NBA stories on the web mixed with personal opinion from our very own Aaron Lanton. Check it often and absorb the knowledge we're dropping on you!
La La Anthony "definitely" thinks her husband, free-agent-to-be Carmelo Anthony, will re-sign with the New York Knicks this summer.
"I definitely think he will stay," La La Anthony said in an interview with Bravo TV's "Watch What Happens Live." "I know that he wants to stay, and I support him wherever he wants to go.
"Listen, I used to live in Denver with him. If I can live in Denver, I can live anywhere. I just want him to be happy."
Carmelo Anthony says he will test free agency this summer. He is under contract through 2014-15 but can opt out after this season.
Under the collective bargaining agreement, the Knicks can offer him a maximum contract of $129 million over five years. Other suitors can offer Anthony a maximum of $96 million over four years.
La La Anthony playfully mocked those who speculate that she will have a heavy influence on her husband's decision.
"I get blamed for everything. No matter what happens, it's my fault," she said. "[There are] all these talks if he's staying in New York or not, [and] I'm somehow the mastermind behind if he stays or not." ESPN

Guitar Slim is the forefather of New Orleans style blues on the guitar. While primarily a lead player, with this example we will combine his lead playing ideas with some added rhythm. This helps us hear what the other instruments would play behind him, while also hearing his signature note choices and licks. Again, this is serving as both a rhythm and strong melody lead line.

Quoting recent studies on interpretation theory which indicate that any sort of interpreting is far more complex than a mere transfer of words from the source language to the target language, Violeta Chirea emphasises that, in fact, the task of a court interpreter is rendered particularly difficult by its dependence, manifest throughout the process of decoding, abstracting, and encoding, on the gap between different legal systems and the hidden agendas often associated with lawsuits. Firstly, she outlines the major contributions which have succeeded in developing a theory of cognitive models capable of dealing with abstract concepts as well.

This second project had two specific demands.
It first intended to provide an academic framework for productive discussion involving professional and would-be translators, teachers and MA or PhD students interested in disseminating the results of their research.
Secondly, the project was developed in order to show how research in these fields was prepared to meet the challenges of the globalizing imperatives at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and how the local background has managed to adapt to these challenges.
The publication of the volume was possible thanks to the financial support of A. Agenţia Naţională pentru Cercetare Ştiinţifică — the National Agency for Scientific Research that was subsequent to a national project competition. Although the initial purpose of the conference was to focus on translation studies exclusively, the organizing committee were open to suggestions and accepted other topics as well.

Has Christine Been Named?
Playbill is reporting that the role of Christine Daaé has been cast for Andrew Lloyd Webber's upcoming sequel to The Phantom of the Opera:
"The talk of the town is that Sierra Boggess, the golden-voiced actress who created the role of The Little Mermaid on Broadway, will be an older — but perhaps no less romantically conflicted — Christine in the sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. Baz Bamigboye of The Daily Mail Online reported that Phantom: Love Never Dies will star Boggess and Ramin Karimloo (who plays the masked tenor in the London production of The Phantom of the Opera). In Love Never Dies, the disfigured Phantom — who released his beloved soprano and her love, Raoul, at the end of The Phantom of the Opera, and then disappeared in a flash — has been relocated from the Paris Opera to Brooklyn's Coney Island. Christine apparently has a son, and is unhappily married to a now dissipated Raoul. The new story was created by Lloyd Webber, lyricist Slater, director O'Brien "and a twist of it was given to us by Ben Elton," the composer previously said."
Webber is hoping the show will bow at the end of 2009 in 3 separate locations. Boggess originated the role of Christine in Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular (which I saw 2 years ago–it was great to hear the music but the show was way too rushed to be enjoyable) and made her Broadway debut as Ariel in The Little Mermaid.


Today's style post is inspired by the beautiful & iconic Bettie Page.
It is rare to find photographs of Bettie Page in something other than lingerie or a swimsuit, but luckily I have a book that includes a few photographs & I own the Notorious Bettie Page film which I was able to use as a reference for todays look. I paired my Bettie Bangs with my favorite Pointy Black Heels, Hair Scarf, & a 50s dress from MissCandyFloss Official.
I am head over heels in love with this beautiful Chocolate & Mauve Tweed 50s swing dress. MissCandyFloss Official never disappoints, their Femme Fatale Collection is taking over my closet & I am not complaining about it. The Emma Dora Tweed Swing is a Femme Fatale's dream dress I can defiantly see Veronica Lake, Gene Tierney, Lauren Becall, & Hedy Lamarr wearing this dress in a Film Noir. I love the Blazer bodice with the Peplum shape it really accentuates my curves & the Swing Skirt flows so gracefully with every step. The quality is amazing & the dress is very easy to slip in & out of, there is a hidden zipper in the front underneath the buttons. It is a bit on the heavier side but, the tweed fabric is soft & perfect for those cooler Fall days ahead. My Nifty 50s Mauve hair scarf from DollMeUp was a lovely choice, the color matched my dress perfectly! I am wearing faux Bettie Page Bangs from Classy Rebel in their Deluxe style, I love being able to switch up my hair styles I can easily switch up my look from Hedy Lamar to Bettie Page.

The TV Ratings Guide BTTG limitless TVRG TVRG Ratings Library Beyond the TV Grave: Limitless
Beyond the TV Grave: Limitless
Jessica Boggs 9:37 AM BTTG limitless TVRG TVRG Ratings Library
Jessica Boggs
Welcome to the latest installment of Beyond the TV Grave, where we at the TV Ratings Guide focus on shows that were canceled after airing no less than 5 episodes and no more than 50. In today's installment, science fiction comedy-drama Limitless grabs the headline as we go through the premise and what led to its untimely cancelation, and we will give a final verdict on whether or not we want to see more.
Based on the film by the same title, Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) is introduced to the miracle drug NZT-48, which gives him access to every neuron in his brain. 12 hours later, Brian becomes the smartest person in the world and is able to perfectly recall every detail of his life. With the mysterious US Senator Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) providing him with an immunity shot to counteract NZT's deadly side effects, Brian uses his newly enhanced abilities to aid FBI agent Rebecca Harris (Jennifer Carpenter) through cases. The FBI doesn't know about the shot and Brian has to separate from his NZT-48 life and public life. The series also starred Hill Harper and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.
Scheduling & Cancelation
Even though it was one of CBS's most promising shows outside of Supergirl, Limitless ultimately was a victim of questionable scheduling. It was placed in the Monday 10pm time slot, a time slot that is historically troubling for newbies not named Hawaii Five-0. It premiered to a 1.9 in the key adults 18-49 demographic, which was a promising start for a CBS newbie. But ratings dropped yet managed to stay fairly consistent around the 1.4-1.5 level through most of the fall. This performance was enough for CBS to give it a full season of 22 episodes. Only a couple of episodes hit 1.3 at the end of the fall. It came back in the winter to a 1.4, then sunk to a low of a 1.1 A18-49 rating, and mostly stayed there.
CBS canceled the series after one season, ultimately causing fan outcry. But CBS could have made a smarter decision scheduling wise to move it by NCIS instead of having it at 10pm on Monday where it was showing decline.
Honestly, I would have loved to see more of Limitless. CBS made a questionable decision to schedule and leave the show in an undesirable time slot. That and to make things worse, CBS shopped drama Supergirl to the CW, cementing the network's reputation as the Old People Network. If Limitless was so off-brand, then why did CBS order it and Supergirl?
You can catch Limitless's only season on Netflix worldwide.

Simon Alex Is The Perfect Example Of A Successful Artist-Businessman
After spending his teenage years amongst the top of the EDM industry as an
artist himself, the prodigy shifted more and more into producing and
management. With equal levels of success.
Simon Alex was 15 years old, and working with the industry's absolute elite. Top artists such as Tiësto, Hardwell, Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix would support the rising act and SWM's Steve Angello took Simon Alex under his wing at the time. helping the teenager emerge to the top level of the scene, Simon Alex skyrocketed to be one of the EDM scene's most demanded newcomers.
Then he made the massive decision, to shift his focus on playing a different part within the industry. The producer structured his label Fly AVTR while still releasing his own work, but already had a bigger vision for the multi-service business.
He started working behind the scenes, helping touring top DJs produce and finish their own records. During this process, he gradually shifted to a rather pop-oriented production, highly benefitting from his production skills as an EDM producer. A genre, that has widened its influence into other genres such as pop and hip-hop simultaneously with Simon Alex development.
Expanding His Involvement In The Scene
The early peaks of his career all came before Simon Alex had finished high school. And following a one year stint at New York University's prestigious Clive Davis Institute of Recorded music, the youngster already felt more than experienced enough to take things to the next level.
His first big step? The management of the at the time 12-year-old rapper Bouba Savage. The young artist who had recently moved to the states from Guinea proved to be a teenage sensation destined to go viral with his song 'Buss It Down'. Simon Alex' responsibilities for the wonder kid went beyond the music management, and lead to his artist's collaborations with major brands such as Nike, Helmut Lang, Footlocker,
Fly AVTR's roster of artists would grow to an impressive portfolio in very short time. Although the name of the label had been used by the artist before, the business was officially launched earlier this year. His list of clients is currently growing, with prominent names such as the Universal Music Group, Lil Tecca, Columbia Records, Brockhampton, SOPHIE, Fivio Foreign, Republic Records, Kenny Beats, as well as the late superstars Juice WRLD & Pop Smoke amongst many other success stories
associated with Fly AVTR.
Massive acts, and surely not the last to benefit from the strategic and creative work of Simon Alex.
