Yesterday in Shannon's English class, we finished reading a novel by Sherman Alexie, a Spokane born native who grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation and now resides in Seattle. Our class started reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian the first day of the semester and finished it on March 7, 2017. Students had to complete worksheets for reading comprehension and assignments.
The novel brought me to different realizations in the real world. No matter how old you are, anyone has the capability to obtain the characteristic of wisdom at a young age. A friend of my Mom's has told me repeatedly that I am "wise beyond my years." At first when she wrote this to me when I was fourteen I remember thinking something along the lines of "If only I really was." However, after finishing the novel I came to the realization that I can be smart and wise beyond my years as Marilyn stated.

Denver's City Council, Led by Democratic Socialist, Stuns For-Profit Prison Operators by Nuking Contracts
It wasn't about pulling money from the halfway houses but from "organizations that put kids in cages, run concentration camps," said one council member.
August 8 2019, 10:00 a.m.
Two for-profit prison companies have lost major contracts in Denver over their work in immigrant detention, as backlash to President Donald Trump's immigration policy continues to mount.
The stunning $10.6 million rebuke to the two firms, CoreCivic and the GEO Group, was led by newly elected city council member Candi CdeBaca, who won in June on a radical platform backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. CdeBaca's stand on Monday against the firms was her first major effort since being sworn in, and she expected to be a lone vote of dissent.
Instead, moved by the plight of those kept in camps run by CoreCivic and the GEO Group, and galvanized by opponents — organized by CdeBaca — at the public meeting, the council delivered an unexpected 8-4 rejection, ending the firms' contracts to run halfway houses on behalf of the city.
CoreCivic and the GEO Group run the bulk of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detention centers. The GEO Group also runs an immigration detention center in Aurora, Colorado, which has become a source of local controversy. The disturbing images beaming from the border, and pressure from repeated protests outside the detention center, persuaded council members that their financial support of for-profit companies made them complicit in ICE abuses.
"I was very impressed by the courage my colleagues displayed to vote with me on a very controversial issue," CdeBaca said.
The vote was another signal of the DSA's rising influence (even as its recent national convention was lampooned on social media for its excessive displays of off-putting wokeness), and the willingness of mainstream politicians to follow the lead of organizers and activists making a stark moral argument.
CdeBaca told The Intercept that the effort can be traced to before her campaign, and that her work as a community organizer and social worker helped her rally opposition to the contracts. At her urging, the key meeting was packed with opponents of the firms, and experts lined up to testify against them. Broad-based community opposition — from Colorado People's Action, Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, the American Civil Liberties Union, Black Lives Matter, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, and DSA — made an impact on council members.
"I brought the testimony to the table so my colleagues could hear the facts and initially did not believe that anyone would vote with me," she said. "So I was very impressed by the courage my colleagues displayed to vote with me on a very controversial issue knowing we had no power to amend that contract."
The council's vote was all the more remarkable because there were credible and sympathetic arguments against taking radical action. Some 500 people are currently in the four halfway houses run by CoreCivic and two run by the GEO Group, and are now at risk of being returned to prison. That's not their certain fate, however, as parole is an additional option. Advocates of ending the contracts focused on the moral case to be made, and the potential for local community groups to run more humane halfway houses in the future.
"If we renew the contract, we're supporting organizations that provide valuable services to more than 500 people and 140 employees," said council member Chris Hinds, spelling out the dilemma. "We're also supporting organizations that put kids in cages, run concentration camps."
CdeBaca acknowledged the moral quandary. "I am very concerned about the 500 beds that we jeopardized by this vote, and I want to see a plan to make sure that we transition out of these contracts in a way that is just for the residents of these facilities," she said, arguing that a transition could be made in six to 10 months, but the power to do it was in the hands of the mayor and the firms. "There's essentially a monopoly emerging here, not just in Denver but nationally with CoreCivic and GEO and that is a problem."
For now, the halfway houses are being kept open without a contract, and the firms are under no obligation to close them immediately, as corrections officials and city policymakers transition to a new system. Short-term contracts are also possible as the city works toward a system that returns the re-entry programs to local control and away from the for-profit operators — as it largely was before the firms bought out the organizations doing the local work. Amanda Gilchrist, a spokesperson for CoreCivic, said that the firm would not immediately shutter and send its charges back to jail. "While several questions exist (about what happens going forward), we have agreed to keep our doors open to the clients we serve in the hopes of finding a resolution that works for everyone," she wrote in an email.
Gilchrist also panned the City Council's "deeply misguided decision," which she said was "a result of political recklessness." Judges will, for now, lose the option of sentencing defendants to halfway houses, making the alternative of prison more likely. More than a hundred inmates in prison who were due to arrive in GEO Group and CoreCivic homes are now in limbo. A residential substance use disorder clinic run by CoreCivic will close, and other supports will no longer be available, she said, adding that CoreCivic does not run any immigrant detention centers in Colorado specifically. "These politicians have failed their community, which will be less safe and healthy, and those in its criminal justice system, who will have much less support to get their lives back on track," Gilchrist said. "Denver now faces a dire situation."
GEO Group spokesperson Pablo Paez slammed what he called a "radical partisan political agenda aimed at abolishing ICE," warning it would backfire. "This reckless action will face significant ramifications and backlash as Denver's elected leaders took a leap backwards away from nearly 30 years of operation in the city with proven, evidence-based treatment."
He did not specifically address whether the GEO Group would keep its doors open without a contract, but hinted it might not. "These residents will now be sent back to jail or prison with no programming — how does that solve the problem?" he said.
Paez also forwarded along two testimonials — one handwritten in pencil — from residents lauding the program. "While these best-in-class facilities in Denver have nothing to do with national immigration policies, politically motivated activists, and council members chose to reiterate the same lies and outright fabrications about our more than 30-year record as a government service provider that have led to the endangerment of our employees, of government employees, and the public," Paez said. "Contrary to their deliberate mischaracterizations, our ICE processing centers are not overcrowded, have never housed unaccompanied minors, and provide the safest and most humane residential care possible."
Told of the GEO Group's statement, CdeBaca was incredulous. "Wow. I don't even have words to respond to that," she said. "The fact that our federal representatives have to fight as hard as they're fighting simply to get in — to not even be able to get lists of the people who are in those facilities — that lack of transparency and accountability lets them get away with telling lies like that."
For-profit prison companies have become an increasingly ripe target for criminal justice reformers and are beginning to have their status as ethically neutral, profit-seeking corporations challenged in mainstream circles. In July, ahead of a critical hearing before the House Financial Services Committee, which is chaired by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and boasts a number of high-profile progressive Democrats, SunTrust Bank announced it would no longer finance private prisons or immigrant detention centers. In 2018, organizers affiliated with the Democratic congressional campaign of Jess King blocked an effort by the city of Lancaster to outsource its prison reentry program to the GEO Group. Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren sent GEO Group and CoreCivic's share prices on a nosedive in June when she tweeted a plan to end for-profit prisons.
CdeBaca put her radical politics up front during the campaign. At a candidate forum, she bluntly spelled out her opposition to the current capitalist framework. "I don't believe our current economic system actually works," she said. "Capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited: that's land, labor or resources. I think that we're in late-phase capitalism, and we know it doesn't work, and we have to move into something new. And I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources — and distribution of those resources. … I'm excited to usher it in by any means necessary."
Theresa Marchetta, a spokesperson for Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, said that Hancock was disappointed in the decision.
We understand City Council's concerns around the holders of these contracts, and share the much broader national demand for better treatment and conditions for those in federal custody due to their immigration status. However, Denver's current zoning presents no other viable alternatives for these community corrections facilities, and now as a result of council's decision, more than 500 individuals in need of a second chance are at risk of being placed back in prison, hindering their rehabilitation and further burdening our jails and prisons. We are disappointed that council did not renew these contracts while other alternatives were explored.
The public, however, has responded well, CdeBaca said, arguing the zoning laws should be amended as the city works on a transition plan. "I haven't heard anything negative from community," she said. "Many of my colleagues have stated that all they have received are thank yous."

Miniclip is so so so so so fun!


The ground is on Hollinwood Road, postcode ST7 1DQ. Parking is limited inside the stadium, but on-street parking is available in roads around the ground. Please park sensibly, avoiding blocking driveways or pavements.
7. Follow the road up the bank, across the pedestrian crossings. The road will then go downbank.
8. At the first set of lights (by Chinese takeaway and Co-op) turn right into Cedar Avenue.
10. Take the 3rd left (Hollinwood Road). Ground is on the left hand side.
1. On A34, go through Congleton, Astbury, Scholar Green.
1. Go through Stafford, Stone, Newcastle.
2. Go straight across roundabout where A500 crosses the A34, and follow 4 to 10 in the main set of directions.
1. If coming on M1, join A50 at junction 24A.
2. Follow signs to Stoke-on-Trent, under the tunnel, and stay on A50 until you reach the Britannia Stadium.
3. Go right at the roundabout onto the A500.

5. Go right at the roundabout and follow 3 to 10 on the main set of directions.
Kidsgrove station lies at the junction of the Stoke-Manchester and Crewe-Derby lines, with services operated by Northern Rail and East Midlands Trains respectively. London Midland services between Crewe and London Euston have also calling at Kidsgrove, but as at September 2016, this is under review. The station is approximately one mile from the ground. From the car park, walk up Meadows Road to the junction with the Avenue (post office on left, library on right). Turn right and follow this road passing the Job Centre on the right, St. Thomas' Church, and the Memorial Gardens, then round a sharp right bend. Continue along this road (First Avenue) and take the second left (Lower Ash Road). Hollinwood Road is the third left off here.


Hey lovelies, we all get stressed from time to time, whether it's because of work or home life issues, school or friends. Sometimes it doesn't have to take a lot for the stress to built and suffocate you. I get very stressed, very easily and don't do well under pressure and while stressed. So here are some self-care ideas for you to try out whenever stress hits. Trying them sooner is of course better!
1. Exercise/ do a bit of stretching to try to release tension and nerves.
2. If that doesn't work (or even if it does) go for a massage.
3. Take a walk at a park to enjoy nature and get some alone time. Take some pictures too.
4. Take a warm bubble bath. Try it with DIY bath salts or bath bombs. Light some candles too–lavender helps to relax you.
5. Have one of your favorite snacks–chocolate, ice cream, whatever. Indulge a bit.
6. Cook your favorite meal or try out a new recipe.
7. Meet up with a friend or spend time with a close relative.
8. Watch your favorite movie or some episodes from a favorite TV series. Netflix is the best. Don't forget the popcorn and a cozy blanket.
9. If you have any animals, play with them. Take them on a walk. Go to a pet store or volunteer at a animal shelter.
10. Draw or write. Just mess around and see what you can create on paper or on the computer.
11. Put on some music and dance around.
12. Snuggle up with a favorite or new book. Or two of them.
13. Clean up your room or the whole house. And don't forget about your car.
14. Plan out tomorrow as best as you can so you're prepared and not stressed for what is to come.
15. Take a nap. Make sure you don't sleep longer than 30 mins or so, then it isn't a nap and you'll be extra tired and worn out.
16. Get your nails and/or hair done. Always good to treat yourself.
17. Take yourself out and enjoy a dinner by yourself. Wonder a museum or the mall.
18. Drink some tea and enjoy the warmth and just hydrate yourself.
19. Gather up any junk piling up to sell or donate to give yourself more room and a more organized and neat environment.
20. Write down some things that are going well and that you are thankful. Keep in mind the good that is going on, the good that will come to be. Positive over negative.

The large vacuum test facility - "LVTF - 2"
The large Vacuum Test Facility (LVTF-2) consists of a horizontal stainless steel cylinder with two full diameter end caps, which can be removed to allow the introduction of large test articles. The chamber is 12.5 m long and has a diameter of 3.8 m for a total volume of 140 cu.m. On the sides of the chamber there are 1000 mm and 1300 mm diameter flanges which allow connecting through gate valves up to three service chambers for parallel tests of several articles.
The cryogenic pump system has been designed in order to provide highest performance than the LVTF-1.


Given how connected the lives of young people are to screens, it is unsurprisingly that you increasingly learn what gender means – what it means to be a man or a woman – via your screens. This is dangerous if you accept the assumptions about gender that you see online without questioning them, and begin to think that the gender roles you see are normal. The online world can stress certain ideas and messages that are then very difficult to dismantle or change.
Only four Disney films feature women speaking over 60% of the dialogue: Inside Out, Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent, and Sleeping Beauty.
A study on the number of words spoken by male and female characters over 2000 screenplays found that less than one quarter had about equal speaking lines for men and women. More than half the screenplays had 60 to 90% of the lines spoken by male characters.
A study on gender in advertising found that only 3% of advertising showed women as leaders, 2% conveyed them as intelligent, and only in 1% did they come off as interesting.
The problem with being exposed to poor gender representation and gender stereotypes is that they are everywhere all the time! These stereotyped messages in the media, through television, movies, magazine, music videos, advertising, video games, social media, and more, can over time influence you to adopt similarly narrow ideas of gender roles in society.
What are common gender stereotypes?
Stigmatise boys who show emotion instead of bravado and "grit"
I don't believe in stereotypes.
What are some stereotypes of boys and girls?
If my best friend started acting in a way that was different from how a guy/girl usually acts, what would other people say about them?
What would I feel hearing these things that people say?
What would I feel about my best friend acting this way?
When was the last time I cried to someone? If something bad happened tomorrow, would I feel okay crying to someone about it?
When was the last time I helped to clean or cook at home? Do I expect a woman to do these things for me in the future?
Am I comfortable wearing pink?
Would I ever consider being a nurse or pre-school teacher? What about staying at home to take care of my kids in the future? Why or why not?
When was the last time I asserted myself in public? If a situation came up tomorrow, would I be able to talk over a man and make my opinion known?
Would I ever consider being a police officer or surgeon in the future? What about having a husband stay at home to take care of my kids in the future? Why or why not?
The answers to these questions, and how quickly or comfortably you answer them, might shed some light on how much you have internalised these stereotypes. Internalised means how much you have taken these to be the truth, letting them guide the way you think. To break the hold of these concepts over your mind, be sure to check yourself and correct yourself if you find yourself thinking them.
Is there anything I can do to avoid or change these stereotypes?
Find good content: look out for shows and movies that features boys and men expressing their emotions constructively and being kind and vulnerable. Shows like This Is Us or movies like The King's Speech are good examples. Also find female characters who are outspoken and follow non-stereotypical goals and paths. Crime shows featuring women as police or profilers are good examples, such as Bones or Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

If you have used the parallel port connection on Windows NT or 2000, you should run uninstall as an administrator, otherwise the parallel port driver cannot be removed.
Older versions can be removed by deleting the Total Commander directory completely (usually c:\wincmd or c:\totalcmd).


And yet he speaks. Interview-shy Bob Dylan went before the camera for ten hours of conversation for Martin Scorsese's NO DIRECTION HOME, amazingly willing to disclose his thoughts, and, at times, even displaying good humor. And he doesn't stop there: for NO DIRECTION HOME, Dylan also opened up his private archive of hundreds of photos, original manuscripts and rare concert recordings. The 205 minute documentary almost exclusively focuses on the time period from Dylan's arrival in New York in January, 1961, to his motorcycle accident in 1966, an event that marked a fundamental break in his oeuvre. In his film, Scorsese stays away from simple hero worship. Instead, interviews with Joan Baez and other companions render a complex depiction of an artist who wanted to be nothing less than the voice of his generation.

9th Circuit Rules Trump Can't Divert Pentagon Funds to Build Wall
June 26, 2020 by Dan McCue
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally divert Pentagon funds to build a miles-long wall on the U.S. border with Mexico, a federal appeals court ruled Friday afternoon.
In a 2-1 ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the transfer of $2.5 billion from the Defense Department circumvented Congress' constitutional power to appropriate money.
The court also rejected a claim from the government that both the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition lacked the standing to pursue the lawsuit.
Writing for the majority, Chief U.S. Circuit Judge Sidney Thomas said succinctly that "the Executive Branch lacked independent constitutional authority to authorize the transfer of funds.
"The panel noted that the Appropriations Clause of the U.S. Constitution exclusively grants the power of the purse to Congress. The panel held that the transfer of funds violated the Appropriations Clause, and, therefore, was unlawful," Thomas wrote.
"These funds were appropriated for other purposes, and the transfer amounted to 'drawing funds from the Treasury without authorization by statute and thus violating the Appropriations Clause.' Therefore, the transfer of funds here was unlawful," he said.
He was joined in the ruling by U.S. Circuit Judge Kim McLane Wardlaw.
U.S. Circuit Judge Daniel Collins, a Trump appointee to the bench, dissented from his colleagues, writing that while he agreed that the Sierra Club had established standing, in his view the organizations lacked any cause of action to challenge the transfers, and concluded that the transfers were lawful.
"This ruling is a win for the rule of law, the environment, and border communities," said Dror Ladin, staff attorney with the ACLU's National Security Project, and one of the lawyers who argued the case in front of the 9th Circuit.
"President Trump's xenophobic wall is already leveling protected lands, desecrating cultural sites, and destroying wildlife. There's no undoing the damage that's been done, but we will be back before the Supreme Court to finally put a stop to this destructive wall," Ladin said.
Trump sought to transfer the money to the border wall project through a national emergency declaration he signed last year. Trump extended that declaration in February.
The president made construction of the border wall a key part of his 2016 campaign for the White House. At the time he claimed he was going to build the wall to keep out illegal immigrants and drugs "and Mexico is going to pay for it."
Since assuming office, however, his administration has been beset by legal and political challenges related to the project. Still, the president has remained unbowed.
Just last week, Trump made a trip to the border to celebrate the completion of 200 miles of the new wall.
"My administration has done more than any administration in history to secure our southern border. Our border has never been more secure," he told officials.
He also vowed to build an additional 450 miles by the end of the year.
Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court intervened in the case, voting 5-4 and along ideological lines, to allow Trump to continue to use the Defense Department funds while the administration appealed a ruling by U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam, Jr., in which the judge found the administration failed to prove the money was needed for "unforeseen military requirements."
The 9th Circuit panel agreed, noting that the problems Trump was claiming to address with the funds were not unanticipated or unexpected.
Among those applauding the 9th Circuit decision Friday was House speaker Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who said, "on a bipartisan basis, Congress has repeatedly refused to fund the President's ineffective, wasteful border wall.
"The rulings by the Ninth Circuit are a great victory for the rule of law and our Constitution," she continued. "These decisions uphold our Founders' vision for our democracy: three co-equal branches of government with an Executive branch that is subject to the laws passed by Congress.
"President Trump's ongoing attempts to undermine military readiness by stealing critical defense funding to pay for his wall is reckless and endangers the American people," Pelosi added. "The funds that he is pilfering, which were appropriated by Congress, are vital to support the safety and well-being of the brave men and women in uniform, as well as their families. We will never allow our national security and the strength of our military families to suffer so that the President can fulfill an outrageous campaign promise.
"Congress, not the President, has the power of the purse – a power that the Circuit Court's decisions strongly uphold," the Speaker said.
Also weighing in was California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, whose state is the site of a portion of the wall.
"Today, the court reminded the president — once again — that no one is above the law," Becerra said. "

Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die, by Eric Siegel
In Predictive Analytics, author Eric Siegel details the broad-ranging applications of predictive modeling in fields like healthcare, local governance and finance. The central thesis is that "You have been predicted," and Siegel, a Columbia University professor, seeks to explain the different contexts in which this is true, and the associated risks and benefits. The book, aimed at a general readership, draws on numerous recent historical examples; in the spirit of its subject matter, however, it offers a great deal of prediction as well.

Last Friday I was, half-jokingly, called a code snob. That was probably due to my continuous bitching of bad code in our project throughout Thursday and Friday. I know it is true so I will wear that label with pride! I just don't understand developers who will write bad code that works but not refactor them later. I can understand write bad code initially to get a understanding of how the code needs to work first, then afterward refactor into nice clean code. I did that many times myself. But just leaving those badly written code once it is working? ARRRRGGGHHH!
Leah made a comment about my previous post about bad code before she jetted off to London. She said even though she didn't understand what I was talking about she thought it must be like an English literature graduate reading a badly put together English sentence.
I think that is a rather good analogy for the non-programmers out there.

Mega Drive Revew - Ariel the Little Mermaid (Game 146)
'Ariel the little mermaid' is an underwater adventure based of the popular Disney film. But, anyone expecting the quality of 'Aladdin' should just keep swimming.
Developed by Blue Sky Software
Published by Sega
There are certain things in retro games that ring alarm bells. Water levels are generally considered to be awful so seeing one on a games box will make me want to put it back on the shelf. Licensed games are also off putting. For every 'Golden Eye' there are a dozen terrible games with recognisable characters. 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' should have been a game I ignored; it's a game based on a film that's (initially at least) set underwater. However I gave it the benefit of the doubt as there are a surprising number of good Disney 16 bit games. 'Aladdin' is often called one of the best games on the Mega Drive and Capcom were frequently making strong Disney games for the Super Nintendo. Typically licensed games are bad because they are rushed, made at speed to be on the shelves when a film is still in the cinema or coming out on physical media. However 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' came out three years after the film on which it was based. Surely in that time the developers could create something good. Even a causal glance at the box shows that developer Blue Sky Software had clearly been influenced by 'James Pond: Underwater Agent' and 'Ecco the Dolphin'. Although flawed both these games showed that setting a game underwater doesn't make it immediately bad. If 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' included the best bits of these two games and wrapped them in charming Disney imagery how could the game not be worth my time?
Sadly my expectations were far too high. 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' shows just how bad water based games can be. It also simultaneously proves that people will buy any old rubbish if there's a recognisable face on the packaging. Fortunately it's short, as it seems hard to fail in the game; I finished it on the hardest setting on my first go with life's to spare.
The plot of the film has been more or less ignored as there's no mention of Ariel falling for Prince Eric nor does she ever give up her voice for legs in an attempt to seduce him. In the game the little mermaid must swim around four large confusing levels finding and freeing "poor unfortunate souls." In the film these are merpeople who have been turned into trembling work like beings by Ursula the sea witch. The game makes no effort to explain what Ariel is searching for instead presuming anyone playing the game will be well acquainted with the movie. It's tricky to believe Blue Sky hadn't played 'James Pond' as that too demanded that the player seek things in underwater labyrinth.
The two games are both viewed from a side on perspective, with the player's sprites a similar proportion. However in 'James Pond' the player must transport things, from where they are found to a goal. In 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' you find a soul and then move onto finding the next. Perhaps it's simplified for the benefit of younger players, maybe it was developer laziness. The locations of 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' will be familiar to anyone who has played 'James Pond' too, although in fairness it's hard to imagine what other locations could be used in a game set underwater. One stage takes place in a pirate ship, another a coral reef but despite the changing backgrounds what you do on every stage is identical.
You start a stage; look at the map to see where a soul is. Swim there, touch it, rinse repeat. While there are enemies in your path Ariel has two forms of attack that stop them fairly easily. Evidently singing is an effective weapon under the sea. It's sufficient to quickly dispatch of the four bosses too; even on the hardest setting their firepower seemed less powerful than mine. So while you could move to safe spaces on screen and fight them tactically it was pointless. With full health you'd simply win a battle of attrition.
The only time I struggled in the game was when I found a soul behind two blocks. In this situation you are meant to call on Ariel's fishy friend Flounder to clear the path. However there was a huge space above the blocks that I presumed I could swim over, having already swam through smaller spaces just moments earlier. It's an example of just how little effort has been put into the game. The stages are generally confusing but simply because there's no variety in them. Without the map you'd spend much longer trying to navigate the stages, especially since there is no continuity dictating which size holes you can get through and which obstructions should be moved. However with a map you realise just how small they are. You will spend most of your time brushing up against this scenery though as Ariel behaves like a character on ice. After letting go of a direction button she continues to swim for a few seconds; usually leading to her smacking into a wall. There's also a delay on when she actually starts swimming after a button is pressed which removes any sort of control precision. It's nice the little mermaid can move in eight directions but I would much rather her swim in the way I wish her to. You mentally compensate after a while, but I did notice a direction button imprint on my thumb after playing where I had clearly been fighting against the terrible controls.
You would think that offering two playable characters would double the game's length but Triton plays identically to Ariel. The levels and bosses are the same with the only difference being who you save at the end of the game. It's difficult to know why the developers even went to the effort, of drawing a second character unless this was originally intended to be a two player game. If this game is aimed at young female fans of the movie, why would they choose to play as Ariel's domineering and over protective father?
'Ariel the Little Mermaid' was developed by BlueSky who had been involved in quite a number of Mega Drive games although many were ports of existing properties. There was the general consensus at the studio that 'The Little Mermaid' represented quite an important opportunity. "I do remember feeling a lot of pressure to do well on the game, but that was more of a personal thing" recalls former BlueSky artist Tom Moon. "I was impressed that BlueSky was able to capture such clients such as Disney." However 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' illustrates that maybe the developer were out of their depth struggling with a license that was larger than they were. This becomes far more obvious when you look at the development history for 'Disney's Aladdin'. This game was eventually developed by Virgin and pushed the Mega Drive further than many thought possible. However it was originally a project started by Blue Sky Software. Following the critical panning of 'Fantasia' Disney Feature Animation started taking a more active role in bringing its film catalogue to video game consoles. Conscious of this, Jesse Taylor, the Sega producer on 'Aladdin', knew that it would be difficult for a smaller team to maintain the overall level of quality that Disney had come to expect. The game was cancelled and BlueSky focused on a Mega Drive adaptation of 'Jurassic Park' instead. "In all fairness, the work BlueSky had done on 'Aladdin' was not considered by anyone at Disney to be poor in quality" notes game historian Ken Horowitz. "Many of those involved thought the project was shaping up to be a competent platformer. The problem was that Disney was looking for something far beyond mere competence. It wanted the game to propel the player into the movie and feel like a continuation of the adventure rather than just another licensed product. For Disney, BlueSky's version did not satisfy those needs in a number of areas, including art and animation."
BlueSky's 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' should have been sufficient warning for Disney. This also has lacklustre art in drab environments. There's hardly any animation for Ariel and to be honest she doesn't mirror her cinematic counterpart particularly faithfully, I don't recall the Little Mermaid being quite so busty for example. Ironically her movement isn't very fluid and she swims in a very haphazard way. But it's not just the main sprite that is a letdown.
The boss fights may fill the screen, but they are hardly impressive considering they cause the game to slow down and flicker on screen. Everything seems thrown together and not very well tested. It's sloppy construction like this that has created the perception that most licensed games are terrible. Blue Sky can't even claim it was a game rushed to hit shelves to capitalise on a cinematic or video release. The cynical may say that everyone involved in the games production knew it would sell based on the strength of a name, so the bare minimum of effort was needed. This would explain the repetitive gameplay, the absent two player mode and the clearly broken controls.
When compared to 'Aladdin' it's pretty hard to find any ways that 'Ariel the Little Mermaid' is a better game. Despite what Sebastian sings in the film, it certainly isn't "better down where it's wetter under the sea".
Inspired the quality of 'Aladdin', 'World of Illusion', 'Castle of Illusion', 'Quack Shot', and 'Lion King' I thought I Disney characters always found a good home on the Mega Drive. I got this from a fellow community member who was downsizing their collection. I'm glad it was essentially a freebie (to compensate for a damaged manual) as I'd be embarrassed if I paid very much for this!

That someone who would actually give you a fight would walk through these curtains behind me. But as our eyes can clearly see, that wasn't the case at all. They gave you a nobody. An insect…the farthest thing from a… 'challenge'. But that's why I'm here. Because I feel like you deserved more of a battle than what you got. You're quite the talented individual, Matthews. And for the suits to book you in a match with Val Venis.. well, that says a lot about how important you are to them. And in their own opinion, how important you are to this company. If ya wanna know what I think – that's a load of Rebel..
(Josh paused as he walked back and forth, atop the rampway to a chorus of cheers and laughter.)

Because I've been out of the loop for a bit now. So a nice warm up will do nicely. What do ya say, buddy? If you're wanting a REAL war, all you gotta do is say one word. And that word is.. YES.

Lib Dem leader Swinson: 'No-deal Brexit like burning your own house down'
Video report by ITV News Political Correspondent Daniel Hewitt
Leaving the EU without a deal would be like "burning your house down", Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson has told her party conference.
After recently announcing her party would revoke Article 50 if it won a majority in a general election, the East Dunbartonshire MP closed the four-day event by reiterating her pledge to stop Brexit.
She received a standing ovation and sustained applause from party members as she took to the stage in Bournemouth, standing without a lectern.
She opened her speech by paying tribute to the party's "fabulous squad" of 16 MEPs, seven new MPs and 700 extra councillors, before launching a scathing anti-Brexit message.
Prime Minister Boris took a bruising in the speech - in which she attacked what she calls his pursuit of a no-deal Brexit.
Mr Johnson has vowed to take the UK out of the European Union by the October 31 deadline "do or die", deal or no deal.
But Ms Swinson told Lib Dem members on the Dorset coast that Mr Johnson's spending on no-deal preparations is "sickening".

"The truth is you can't plan for no deal. Planning for no deal is like planning to burn your house down," she said.
"You might have insurance, but you're still going to lose all your stuff."
She also hit out at his recent choice of insults, in which he called ex-PM David Cameron a "girly swot" and Jeremy Corbyn a "big girl's blouse".
She said: "If he thinks being a woman is somehow a weakness, he's about to find out, it is not."
And she criticised the prime minister's ability to negotiate a Brexit deal before the deadline, citing a skipped joint press conference as a failure.
She said: "He claims he could negotiate a Brexit deal in a month - I wouldn't hold out much hope, yesterday he failed to negotiate where to have a press conference.
She also told party members she was standing before them as their candidate for prime minister.
It comes a day after she defended to ITV News Politics Editor Robert Peston her plan to revoke Article 50 - effectively stopping the Brexit process.
She said it would not be undemocratic stop Brexit if the party won a general election, because people will understand "very clearly" what the Lib Dems stand for.
Voters at the conference voted overwhelmingly to back her policy, but Lib Dem MP Sir Norman Lamb was among a few to condemn it.
Another to criticise the move was Greens MP Caroline Lucas, who told ITV News podcast Acting Prime Minister that promising to revoke Article 50 is "arrogant" and "self-indulgent".
Speaking to ITV News Political Correspondent Paul Brand, the MP for Brighton and Pavillion said the pledge to effectively cancel Brexit is "dangerous" and "imperils democracy".

Ms Swinson also insisted to Peston that she is not the leader of a single issue party.
At the suggestion the party had morphed into the anti-Brexit Party - as opposed to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party - she said: "We are not a single issue party, we are a party with more than a century of liberal heritage.
"And we want to create an open, fair and inclusive society."
Ms Swinson predicts Brexit would "hurt" the country's economy - one of the core reasons the party this week agreed to adopt cancelling Britain's EU exit if it wins power at the next election.
Watch Robert Peston's video report on his interview with Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson
The former minister told the conference: "The first task is clear. We must stop Brexit.
"And we are crystal clear: a Liberal Democrat majority government will revoke Article 50 on day one because there is no Brexit that will be good for our country.
"Brexit will put lives at risk. Brexit will hurt our economy. This Brexiteer Government wants to pay for their ideology with other people's jobs."

Pentru alte semnificații ale termenului, vezi Prea târziu (dezambiguizare)

Prea târziu (1996) este un film dramatic românesc regizat de Lucian Pintilie. A fost prezentat la Festivalul de Film de la Cannes din 1996.

Acțiunea

Pe fundalul violenței și sărăciei societății române în tranziție, filmul prezintă povestea unui procuror, Dumitru "Mitică" Costa (jucat de Răzvan Vasilescu), care este trimis într-un oraș minier pentru a investiga o crimă dintr-o mină. Autoritățile, de la conducerea minei până la prefectura județului îi pun obstacole în cale, de teama că un scandal public va pune în pericol singura sursă de venituri a văii, industria minieră. Mitică se stabilește în oraș, la topografa Alina, pe care o cunoscuse în mină și cu care începe o relație. După ce urmărește o pistă falsă, care îl duce la o persoană din serviciile secrete, stabilită în străinătate, Mitică își dă seama că ucigașul trăiește în mină și își omoară victimele pentru mâncare. Pentru a-l scoate din galerii, oprește ventilația și sigilează toate celelalte intrări, așteptându-l cu un efectiv al armatei la ieșirea din mină.

Cake (advertisement)
Cake (band)
Cake is a form of sweet dessert that is typically baked. In its oldest forms, cakes were modifications of breads but now cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate and share features with other desserts such as pastries, meringues, custards and pies.
Typical cake ingredients are flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil, a liquid, and leavening agents, such as baking soda and/or baking powder. Common additional ingredients and flavourings include dried, candied or fresh fruit, nuts, cocoa, and extracts such as vanilla, with numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients. Cakes can also be filled with fruit preserves or dessert sauces (like pastry cream), iced with buttercream or other icings, and decorated with marzipan, piped borders, or candied fruit.
Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, for example weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified so that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.

Cake is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2007 by Škoda Auto to promote the new second-generation Fabia supermini car in the United Kingdom. The 60-second spot forms the centrepiece of an integrated advertising campaign comprising appearances on television, in cinemas, in newspapers and magazines, online, and through direct marketing. The campaign and its component parts were handled by the London branch of advertising agency Fallon Worldwide. Cake was directed by British director Chris Palmer. Production was contracted to Gorgeous Enterprises, with sound handled by Wave Studios. It premiered on British television on 17 May 2007.
The campaign was a critical, popular, and financial success. It has been credited for the significant improvements in awareness and public opinion of the brand, and received honours from a number of advertising festivals and awards ceremonies, including several from the British Television Advertising Awards, the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, and the Creative Circle Awards.

Cake (stylized CAKE) is an American alternative rock band from Sacramento, California. Consisting of singer John McCrea, trumpeter Vince DiFiore, guitarist Xan McCurdy, bassist Gabe Nelson and drummer Paulo Baldi, the band has been noted for McCrea's sarcastic lyrics and deadpan voice, DiFiore's trumpet parts, and their wide-ranging musical influences, including country music, Mariachi, rock, funk, Iranian folk music and hip hop.
Cake was formed in 1991 by McCrea, DiFiore, Greg Brown, Frank French and Sean McFessel, who soon left and was replaced by Nelson. Following the self-release of its debut album, Motorcade of Generosity, the band was signed to Capricorn Records in 1995 and released its first single, "Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle", which hit number 35 on the Modern Rock Tracks music chart and was featured on MTV's 120 Minutes; French and Nelson then left the band, and were replaced by Todd Roper and Victor Damiani. Cake's second album, 1996's Fashion Nugget, went platinum on the strength of its lead single, "The Distance". Following a tour of Europe and the United States, both Brown and Damiani announced they were leaving Cake, which led to speculation about the band's future; McCrea eventually recruited Xan McCurdy to take over on guitar, and persuaded Nelson to return.

K Through 12, Drive
in a lot less time
i could have bought some
but "never-a-dime" doesn't help
i turned to crime,
what seemed the only option,
the adoption of a plan put in effect:
to pillage minutes
why waste it?
freedom:
not unlike glass cielings
unfun:
all that i am feeling
rewind, cause we never had the time
i won't sit down
i'm not following through
some would assert that i don't care about my future
but "never-a-dime",
it doesn't help
they said "it's alright,"
and they told me
that they were good liars.
don't say "i don't care."
coming up empty again.

I would like to display everything else based on the autocomplete feature of the library. Is there a configuration that i can set ?
