One secret to success is by not losing hope and by being motivated at all times. If we are motivated, we are happy, encouraged and contented of what we do. Whatever hard things are, if we are just motivated to work, it is just an easy job for us. There is no hard or difficult to ask if we love what we do and one secret is to be motivated.
Visualizing your goals would mean that you are also looking forward to reach it. Remember that, "Whatever your mind believe and conceive, you will achieve". It is the same with your goals, if you keep on visualizing it that you could reach it, it will totally come true.
One tip that would help you a lot is by writing it down on a piece of paper and put it on a place where in you can see it everyday and you will be reminded. In this way, you may not forget it and you may be kept track every day.
They say, a goal without an action is just a wish. So, don't let your goals just fall to be just a wish. Try to make it happen every day and it could help if you write it down. Studies would say that writing your goals down, could possibly make it really possible.
So, have a journal so that you could everyday update it and could keep track of you and your goals.
Just like children, yourself also needs a treat most especially when you achieved one of your goals. It doesn't mean that you should achieve it in a snap. Having a progress means that you are improving and you are nearly there and that also means that you have done a great job. So, you deserve a treat or a reward.
The rewards could make you motivated as you go along and as you take action to your other goals.
This is the most key of all because you can just do it, not by anybody else. This is important because if you are confident, you are positive, and if you are positive, you could do certain actions that could lead you to success.
So, be confident, raise your head up high and say, "I can do it". You may need also your families, friends and loved one advice, support and love so that it is easier for you to perform things because you know that there are someone behind your back and it is a very nice feeling.
So, always remember that achieving success is never possible if you are just by yourself. You also need others most especially your families.
In our busy life, hectic and depressing life, we tend to feel unmotivated, uninspired and helpless. There some point in our life that we want to give up and negative thoughts are dominating in our minds. It is just a normal part of our lives but we should not dwell much about it because there are still so much in our lives.
Enter in a support group. This might sound funny but it is a great feeling that you have someone who you share your goals with. It is a very nice feeling that you help each other reach your goals. What is good about support groups is that you help each other in achieving all your goals. You motivate one another and comfort one person if they may feel depressed, helpless and sad. It is like you have a second family.
Bring your goals wherever you will go. Don't leave your goals, put it inside your pocket and register it on your mind and heart. In this way, you will not forget your goals. There are times that we may feel distracted by other things and people, but then if we carry our goals, we may still keep track.
Be positive. Always remember that, "Whatever things you believe and conceive, you will achieve." It goes the same with your goals, put in mind that you will reach it, and will come true. And also, be positive all the times and never think of negative things. Stay out of negative people as well because negativity is very contagious and you might get their negative vibes. It will just hinder you from reaching your goals. So, stay positive!
Review your goals once in a while. It doesn't mean that you have set a certain goal, then that is enough. No! You have to review it once in a while and check if you have reached it. If not, make an extra effort to achieve it.
One step at a time. Being successful will never be reached overnight. It is the product of your hard work and effort every day. So, don't waste a day in your life and make it a meaningful one.
Be active! Never be passive all the time. Always remember that your success is the product of your effort, not by anyone else. So, make extra effort and be active all the time.
Manage your time wisely. It doesn't mean that you will have no day-off, but do things with quality and manage your time very well. Time is very important and we should not waste it.
Why Not Go For Success?
History is full of examples of great people who decided what they wanted and made it happen.
Andrew Carnegie wrote on a small note and kept it in his desk over the years a simple message that shows how powerful writing down your intentions and goals really is.
And that's exactly what he did. Carnegie gave away over $350 million in his lifetime by the time he died in 1919. That was back when money was money. I mean, $350 million back then is equivalent to more than $10 billion today.
Why not go for more success in your life?
He was the one of the greatest philanthropists in the history of the world. Why? Because he wanted to be. That was his goal. That was his dream.
I'm not saying you should be a philanthropist. Personally, I want to give away hundreds of millions of dollars to worthy causes in my lifetime. But I'm not asking you to adopt MY goals and dreams – all I'm asking is that you find your own.
Be a good student, but don't just be a follower. Learn everything you can but make your own decisions.
Don't try to live someone else's life – this is YOUR LIFE. Make it be what you want it to be. Screw what everyone else thinks. They can plan their own lives – but not yours. Your life is for you to live and you alone. And at the end of the day what you do with it is entirely up to you.
This is probably the best motivation video I've ever seen! So I wanted to share it with you.

Republican rule in America - Closer to Napoleon than the ideals of Jefferson
Apr. 18, 2011 8:56 am
Democracy is on the march OUT of Michigan. Republican Governor Rick Snyder is using his new powers recently granted to him by the Republican state Legislature to take over a city – fire its elected representatives – and bust up unions and cut crucial government services. It's part of Snyder's plan to reduce his state's budget deficit by putting cities that are struggling financially on a fast track to a Libertarian utopia...or nightmare.
The first victim of Governor Snyder – is the city of Benton Harbor. As of Friday – the powers of city boards and commissions of Benton Harbor have been usurped by a "Financial Manager" appointed by Governor Rick Snyder. That Financial Manager – although not elected by the people of Benton Harbor – now has authority over all the elected city officials of Benton Harbor and can break up union contracts – cut city services – and sell-off large chunks of the city to private corporations without any oversight.
Welcome to Republican rule in America – much closer to the ideals of Napoleon than the ideals of Jefferson.

Unless America can be America again, the words below will come to fruition. We are asked to be part of a better world through cooperation, sympathy, love, and connection. We are connected to every human being on this planet whether we like it or not.
Here is a major problem that liberals, progressives, socialists, and working Americans face in the United States of Mortal Sin.
We can no longer rely on a party and/or a person for the work to be accomplished. Change can only come from the ground up and the work will have to be accomplished by you and me.
Currently, we are a damned nation because we have turned our backs on God and by 2065 the United States of Mortal Sin will die. It is truly over for our fascist-Nazi country.
The above words are my predictions that are presently upon us and our future awaits us in 2065.

The libertarians are not interested in solving problems. They are only interested in externalizing problems. It is about exploiting their own good fortune and ignoring those less fortunate. Objectivism is an elaborate scheme for rationalizing conceit as "enlightened self interest". I happen to believe enlightened self interest, the problem is that objectists are not even close to being enlightened, having rejected all philosophy and large swaths of science that came after Aristotle. What I want to know is what planet do they intend to move to after they have run this one into the ground?

Thom We can all thank 2010 Wis voters for the dictator Gov Walker They got what they voted for or thought they did, ince Walker never said he was going to bust unions or take away workers right to bargain. A greedy phony Repub like most of them ..the moderate GOP no longer exists.Now we have Tea Bagger Repubs who look human...but when we sleep they come and take our souls. Vote them out Recall them what ever it takes. Whatever Obama's faults..he is decent, he works hard against the daily Fox GOP Rush hate fest , lies, 12/ truths..vile name calling. GOP is a disgrace to our country and I used to vote GOP most of my life Me bad .

So.... The anti-big government governor, Snyder, who beleives in personal liberty and self-responsibility, is taking away the personal liberty and self-responsibility of self-government of those in city of Benton Harbor, people who voted for their own local government, the only really valid kind of government, they like to say, because it supports personal liberty and self-responsibility, to put in place bigger government, in the person of one individual, a government beaurocrat, the very antithesis personal liberty and self-responibility, a move that will obviously, because Snyder is such a great defender of personal liberty and self-responsibility, enable the people of city of Benton Harbor to live to their highest ideals of personal liberty and self-responsibility.
Just in the nick of time.The communist party was about to take over up there, I heard - after all, they had unions!

Chris Hedges is not part of the GOP world. He's a longtime newspaper writer and columnist whose most recent book is "The Death of the Liberal Class." He wrote a best=selling book called "War is the force that gives life meaning." He's been a national correspondent for a couple of decades, at least. He is highly respected--but I don't always agree with him. I recommend you start looking up some of his columns and books to get a more insightful view. I'm sure he doesn't need anyone to try to educate him on the facts.
He's always an interesting--and often provocative--writer and I recommend you look at his biography and read some of his books. You don't have to agree with his beliefs--but before you criticize him, understand his background and accomplishments.

"Tell them that we are deeply concerned about them, because a country that exports repression will one day unleash that repression against its own people. A nation that wages war against the poor in Nicaragua will ignore the needs of its own poor. A country which in the name of democracy fights wars against the self-determination of other peoples cannot remain a democracy. I have felt for a long time that the U.S. people will one day be the most repressed people in the world." — Nicaraguan Foreign Minister and Catholic Priest Miguel D'Escoto, in response to a question as to the message he would like a U.S delegation of peace activists to take home with them.

I welcome the Libertarian nightmare to come to Michigan. While I feel sorry for the people in Michigan, I don't live there and don't plan on ever going, so let the people get what they voted for. When the experment fails as we all predicted, we'll have an example right at home to show people why these failed ideas should not be implemented. The main problem I see with this is that the truth will probably never see the light of day other than on Thom's show or something like that.

The ideals comparison is great. Napoleon, like our former Republican Decider, was great at bankrupting his nation due to over-extended militaristic adventures. That out of control French military budget led directly to Jefferson's successful 1803 Louisiana Purchase at 3 large cents per acre.
The overthrow of Benton Harbors Democracy is too close to all who care about Representative Govt. I think the Marines need to be sent in to protect the citizens from Snyder's Grande Armee.

The GOP World - Group Of Profiteers (GOP)! The GOP does not have the interest of the American People in mind - it is all about Self-Interest.
When are people going to wake up to this most fundamental fact? Why does a majority, any majority, so easily fall for the con man! It happens in Religion, in Politics, in Economics, in almost any sphere of human activity. It is almost a truism!
Cons knows how to fleece their victims. All they have to do is exploit weakness, emotions, and fear, and turn that into a very lucrative payoff.
The Con is now gone big time. Think of the Karl Roves, the Koch Brothers, and the GOPers. And yes they are the Cons of Cons, and they have a lot of MONEY! They own the MEDIA! And they LIE like the best of cons.
And the American people are being taken in like a bunch of sheep. And like sheep we all being led to slaughter.
When are the American people going to wake up here? The only winners in this game, short term, will be the corporate fascists who are stealing the wealth of the American People, destroying American Democracy, and basically emasculating the rights of the American people. When and if the American people ever do wake up, it may just be too late to realize that we will no longer have a Democracy, a country or even a viable society to live in.
Last November the American People got conned big time and are now reaping the whirlwind of exactly what the Group Of Profiteers were really up to. And what is even more amazing is that most of them still believe in this Big Con! They simply do not want to accept the fact that they were stupid enough to have been conned in the first place. That is the only explanation I have for this, especially when these cons are now busy dismantling the very programs that benefit the majority of these very Americans, and then transferring that wealth to the rich corporatists who are divesting that wealth in other countries.
The BIG LIE! There are many defenders. You'll even read them in this blog. They are all very persuasive. But ask yourself this very fundamental question: If the GOP con states that is it is a GOOD thing to eliminate Medicare (Social Security, Taxes, Laws etc), who does it fundamentally benefit – YOU who is or will be the beneficiary of this program, or is it whomever is paying the GOP con to convince you of this lie?
This is the BIG LIE – the BIG CON!
This is easy. You have money in a checking account. Someone approaches you on Sunday morning after church services and states that they have a scheme to double your money in 3 months. All you have to do is to give them that money so they can then place it in their account. Would you fall for it? Maybe. Especially when the con takes place at your local church! And some do. And this is exactly the GOP cons are doing. After all, the message is coming from our Senators, our Representatives, our Ministers, our Judges, and our Media! They wouldn't all be lying to us. They wouldn't all be misleading us. Really? Maybe 30-40 years ago when the GOPers still had ethical and moral values. But no more! Most, if not all, of these GOPers are now wholly owned by the new corporate fascists who are busily working to create a new fascist state.
And their paid minions are busily spreading the BIG LIE. It is all about MONEY now, and the GOPers have LOTS of it!
Wake up America. Demand an accounting. That is if you are not sheep.

I was watching TCM (1790) and "Death of a Scoundrel" with George Sanders and Yvonne De Carlo. George Sanders was the scoundrel and very similar to the scoundrels who are America's fascist-Nazis. He could never have enough money. He had to cheat everyone. If you have a chance to watch this movie, please watch it and see the similarities with today's fascist-Nazis.

In Wisconsin, we have the Dictator of Dictators, in Mr. Walker who claims to be our Governor. I refuse to call him such as he doesn't govern; he dictatees. He is probably on the phone with Michigan's gov. daily. We too just 'lost' a very close State Court election when the Repubs 'found' 7500 votes after the liberal apparently won by a couple hundred votes. Now Walker is much safer in keeping his anti union, state busting 'budget' law! Too bad for Wisconsin. I agree Thom, we are on the path to no middle class in America. We have to fight to get rid of the Republican rule!

Let me see if I have the sequence of events straight:
1. Corporations bribe and otherwise corrupt local governments.
2. Corporate-owned media raises a stink about how corrupt local governments are.
3. Corporate lawyers write unconstitutional bills that are passed by corporate-bribed legislators, enabling corporate-bribed governors to illegally fire elected officials, illegally cancel union contracts, and sell the city's property and other assets to corporations.
4. Corporate-owned media informs us that we are ok with what they have done to us.

Check out Ed Garvey's blog at fightingbob.com. Ed says that the same plan/tactics Michigan's governor is using is coming soon to Wisconsin. I cannot believe that the people of Wisconsin will stand for it. I know and respect Ed greatly, but I think I'm putting my trust in the people of Wisconsin. By the way, a third recall election of the infamous "Republican 8" will be held soon -- probably more on the way.

@stradric We didn't get what we voted for, we got what we didn't vote for. The "enthusiasm gap" just killed us here in Michigan. Even hardcore Dems were refusing to vote in November. It sucked. So we've been using these issues such as Benton Harbor, ALEC, the attacks on MEA & other labor, etc., to point out to people how important it is that they vote. Snyder might have defeated Bernero even with higher turnout, but we would have kept the House and probably held our ground in the Senate.
Thom thanks for the great shows!

Yes, it seems that socialism, communism, and any other bad "ism" is taking over the entire country and both political parties as well. People have been leaving Michigan for years, hence the term "last one out of Michigan, please turn out the lights."

Posting here again for the first time in YEARS. I know I'm one of many but I wanted to say thanks again and congratulations to drx, buckaroo, and everyone else throughout all these years for making this discovery possible. Ever since I woke up yesterday for the reveal stream I've been constantly refreshing the TCRF articles to see what discoveries have been made.
I can't believe we finally have a S1 Proto. It really makes me thing anything could be possible now in terms of finding other builds, such as the TTS one (or the 7-layer scrolling demo! I'd love to see that!).
Also I can't wait to get a hold of that Retro Gamer issue. I want to see more of how this came to be!

Yeah there's not a huge amount of interesting things happening on the surface, probably because the differences have been known about for 20+ years. Really the only surprising thing for me was the state of Star Light Zone and I guess a couple of things in Marble. The rest pretty much lines up with what we guessed, which was not the case with the Sonic 3 build last year. It's just neat to be able to take real screenshots rather than rely on magazine scans.
I'd bet the real surprises are buried deeper. One thing I did expect to see, but haven't yet, is water:
This screenshot must have been from an earlier build. I had assumed there's be some half-baked code that turned the background blue in an attempt to simulate underwater bits, but apparently not!
p.s. don't forget to support the home team. Like, seriously.
Considering this build has almost no code for water whatsoever (adding it in does nothing), That screenshot is likely earlier than the release prototype build, and the blue BG is just before there was a background at all
This IMO could be supported by that being behavior seen in other stages (Clock Work Act 2, for instance- no background, just blue)

Maybe in discussing the prototype, we can play a game of spot-the-location from the magazine screenshots, and compare them to if it's from this or earlier prototypes. Here's one to start us off (shows the location address in the score). Extra figurative points for getting a similar pose for Sonic:
The Joebro64
SAY HELLO TO MY CHOCOLATE BLEND Member
Here's something that caught my attention: the demos being recorded for earlier layouts, and not playing well with the current layouts (Sonic always immediately dies, for instance). There's reason to believe the TTS prototype was an autodemo, due to different magazines' screenshots showing the same exact run... is it possible that the GHZ demo is a remnant from the TTS prototype?
If Sonic 2's prototypes were any indication, the demos weren't high priorities for the developers. (In fact, every single Sonic 2 prototype, even Beta 8, uses the same exact demo inputs from the Nick Arcade prototype.)
Maybe someone can determine what actions were taken in the demo (e.g. going left, going right, the duration of the left/right directional pushes, jump with the A button, B button, etc).
Something I noticed is that before the game enters the demo, you can hold the "A" button to see debug mode.
Then (like in Green Hill Zone), the programmer must has pressed the "B" buttons" and "C" buttons at times. In GHZ, the programmer pressed the "B" button for Sonic to become a ring in debug mode. Then at times, the multiple rings get inserted due to the "C" button being pushed.
Maybe seeing the list of command will give some idea of what a possible early Tokyo Toy Show GHZ layout could be?

First post in AGES... like many others on this thread, I too have been periodically following news on a potential Sonic 1 prototype leaking since the late 90s. Also like many, while I continued to hope, deep down I never actually expected it to happen. This is no doubt one the most pleasant surprises of my entire life, if not THE most. I remember being so obsessed with wanting to play a version of the real thing that I started nagging Mistergambit to listen to my input on his Sonic 1 Beta Remake.
This is surreal... so overjoyed beyond belief.
Anyways, I have been comparing this to the early screenshots over on the Sonic 16-bit Development page all day and did notice that while a good 95% of the stuff in those screens (save from the obvious 1990 Tokyo Toy Show screens of the early GHZ and MZ), one section of SLZ with a clusterfuck of springs doesn't seem to be in this prototype. Did anyone else come across it by any chance?
Odd that so many of the sections seen in those screens appear in this prototype with the exception of this and maybe 1 or 2 others.

Yeah it wouldn't be worth the time rerecording on every build, since the layouts and enemies etc seem to be quite iterative in any sonic game development.
I'm way to lazy for this, but it would be neat for someone to take the time to create a TTS layout or even flat ground in the proto for the demo to play out on.
Also - I'm wondering if the incomplete levels have super basic backgrounds just so the magazines could take semi-decent screenshots for their articles.

I'm late, but what an incredible moment for the community to finally have this; feels rather unreal to see stuff like the Sparkling Zone and old Labyrinth Zone background during my own gameplay. Thanks and kudos to all of those involved in procuring it!
Regarding Star Light Zone, what is this (already existed Act 2, not placed by debug mode)? It goes down when landed upon:
Oh, and those unused lights from the zone are here (and on other loops throughout the zone, but not all):

Wow...history has truly been made. I never thought this proto would actually ever surface!
This is quite an amazing find!! I'm not sure what else can top it honestly.
Great work to all those involved in getting this prototype!!

Well, it's been, what, three and a half years since I posted here? But this... Wow. I... Wow. Wow.
Even after seeing this being unveiled live on stream, I can't quite believe this day has finally come. Amazing work and thanks a million, everyone involved. I can't wait to see what's hidden away in this build - the GHZ chunks with the unused "underground" tiles were already quite a welcome surprise.
What an amazing note to end 2020 on.

Hey, so I chatted with a friend of mine about the prototypes, and they made an observation regarding Labyrinth Zone.
Those weird rooms wouldn't happen to generally correlate with where many of the air bubbles are in the final, would they? It was remarked that they seem deliberately designed to block out the background, and potentially have the tiles using a different set of palette entries to the rest of the underwater portions of the zone - they implied that they could've been used to try and get oxygen.
Of course, this theory is without solid proof or basis, but it's something that's now utterly stuck in my mind.
Blue Spikeball
I seriously don't get why they stripped down SLZ's visuals in the final. As previously mentioned, they removed the sloped areas' undersides and the lights on the top of the loops, making the level look more blocky and barebones. And the graphics used by those parts are still in the final, so it's not like they had to be removed due to technical limitations

Firstly thank you drx and buckaroo for this. Hidden Palace had gained so much notoriety as a place for groundbreaking prototype releases which I expect played some role in helping this all come about. The more public awareness there is on the importance of prototype roms, the more likely they are to surface. So yeah, fantastic job and commitment all round really.
one section of SLZ with a clusterfuck of springs doesn't seem to be in this prototype. Did anyone else come across it by any chance?
A few of the magazine screenshots that are "missing" and don't exist in this version I've noticed they often feature weird looking springs with long coils, perhaps this is something that was implemented shortly after this version, or could be faked screenshots for press, though strange they would be mixed in with identical looking legit screens.

Random note: I decided to check out a commercial that I knew had a later prototype to see if anything stood out to me.
(Said commercial)
Proto we have:
Seems it may have taken some time for them to put a checkpoint there.
It also seems from the HAG commercial the 1-Up for 50 rings was still left that way in that prototype, based on the music played from the game.
Something else. It's presumed the prototype was from April 30 to May 1, 1991?
Was it easier to produce cartridges for the game because it was packaged in the Sega Genesis consoles? Because that's a short window to produce the game, unless it was in small quantities at first (unlike the Sonic 3 manufacturing timeline guess-timation).
EDIT: I'm gonna begin the suggestion that this prototype was made at least as early as February 1991, per two magazines (Only proof being the title screen's "Press Start Button")
Mean Machines Issue 5:
And Computer & Video Games Magazine Issue 112 February/March 1991:
EDIT 2: Oh wait a minute, they're reporting from the January 1991 CES show. So this prototype should be at least January 1991.
EDIT 3: Okay, nevermind, I forgot that there were other similar CES prototypes....should have read the Cutting Room Floor website.
Perhaps a dumb question, but would it be difficult to enable debug mode movement / object placement in the special stage?
Meddling around with memory through cheat engine, I did pop sonic out of the maze - I noticed that if you do get out of the maze's bounds in this prototype, rather than ending up falling into a garbled mess* like in the final version, you will fall for a little, and then the game will crash.
*(game memory being interpreted as object data? IDK, just wondering, is that what is seen from going out of bounds?)
EDIT: Anyone else notice that if you have the game paused, you can hit B or C to advance the frames of the game (+ with it animations, badnik movement, time passage, etc) - probably not the first to notice this, but thought it was interesting & wonder what it was used for.
T.Q. said:
From what I can gather, that's the date to for actual RTM build and not for this prototype. For that matter the final/RTM build has "1991.APR" in the header while the proto has a generic header that gives off no relevant info at all. Not even a game title is present. I also don't see any way of identifying a date from the cart itself (no physical markings have a date). The truth is we may have no way of knowing precisely when this build was from at this time.

I am the Holy Cat Tech Member
That's what I've been wondering since yesterday, too.
I found it while recording my video, but I didn't mention it because I assumed that everyone else already found it (and besides, it's visible in my video, as I said).
I eventually tried to ask on SSRG (it's easier for me to post there), but I didn't get any reply yet.

Ford Mustang Cobra Jet a truly unique all-electric sports car
Ford Performance is launching a truly unique all-electric drag racer: Ford Mustang Cobra Jet with more than 1400 hp and a top speed of more than 270 km / h. Mustang Cobra Jet electric car delivers a torque of almost 1500 Nm.
Ford has always used motorsport to showcase and develop new innovations. The Cobra Jet 1400 electric car is an example of how to get the most out of new technology. The Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 is a tribute to the original Cobra Jet which dominated the drag racing sport in the late '60s and which is still to be awaited.
After the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV, with a range of up to 600 km, made its world debut in November last year, the Mustang Cobra Jet 1400 represents a completely different way to preserve the heritage and further develop the Mustang family.
The car will make its world debut on track later this year and is now being tested to see what it is capable of performing on the drag racing track. Ford Performance collaborates with several specialists in the field. These include MLe Racecars (Vehicle builder, designer, integrator and tuner), Watson Engineering (Chassis support and development, roll cage builder), AEM EV (Software and motor calibration and controls) and Cascadia (Inverter and Motor supplier).
The electric car is capable of driving a drag distance of 402 m in less than 8 s, and the exit speed is 170 mph (275 km) per hour.
Full performance cars have not yet been disclosed. Whether the dragster will be launched at least in small-scale production or whether it will remain at the prototype level is not yet known. However, Ford's desire to take a large share in the electric car market is quite obvious.
Mark Rushbrook, Global Director, Ford Performance Motorsports:
"We saw the Cobra Jet 1400 project as an opportunity to start developing electric powertrains in a race car package that we already had a lot of experience with, so we had performance benchmarks we wanted to match and beat right now. This has been a fantastic project to work on, and we hope the first of many coming from our team at Ford Performance Motorsports."
The Cobra Jet 1400 is not the company's first electric sports car. Last fall, Ford showed off the Mustang Lithium concept car. It was equipped with a 900hp propulsion system, an 800-volt battery and - uncharacteristic of American sports cars - a manual gearbox.

The 4-year-old Colorado girl who survived a crash with an Amtrak train that killed her parents and three sisters will remain in her community and be raised with her cousins.
Heidi Miller will live with her late mother's sister and her husband and their children in the Trinidad area after she is released from the hospital.
The news was posted on a fundraising site Thursday.
Grandfather Andrew Miller told The Associated Press Friday that members of the extended family have been taking turns being with Heidi Miller in the hospital and agreed she should live with her aunt and uncle, who plan to adopt her. They have two sons and a daughter.
The Millers were on their way to church June 26 when their minivan collided with the Southwest Chief at a marked but ungated crossing.

Possible UAE Involvement in Missile Strikes on Tripoli Seen
Headlines 7 May 2019 Arabia Day Newsdesk 0

UN experts are investigating missile strikes near Libya's capital that were likely fired by Chinese-made drones and point to possible involvement by the United Arab Emirates, according to a confidential report seen by AFP on Monday.
The April 19-20 missile attack on the southern suburbs of Tripoli was carried out as forces loyal to commander Khalifa Haftar battled to seize the capital from the UN-recognized government.
A UN panel of experts said in the report to the Security Council that it had examined photographs of missile debris and had identified the weapon as a Blue Arrow air-to-surface missile, which has not been used in Libya before.
That missile is only in use in three countries – China, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates – and is paired with the Chinese-made Wing Loong drone.
"The panel is now investigating the probable use of Wing Loong UAV variants by the LNA, or by a third party in support of the LNA," – Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army (LNA), said the report.
The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are seen as key supporters of Haftar, praising his battlefield successes against the Islamic State group and other extremists in Libya.
Haftar launched his offensive to seize Tripoli on April 4, but his push appears to have stalled after militias backing the government in Tripoli put up strong resistance.
The experts said the use of the drones was "likely a recent non-compliance of the arms embargo as the weapon system reported on has not been identified in Libya before," according to the report sent to the council on Thursday.
The council has been divided on how to address the crisis from Haftar's offensive, with Russia refusing to condemn the Libyan strongman and the United States taking some time to consider the situation.
The panel presented an interim report after a key expert, Tunisian-German national Moncef Kartas, was arrested in Tunisia on suspicion of spying for unnamed "foreign parties."
Kartas, who was looking into illegal arms shipments to Libya in violation of the embargo, was arrested on March 26, less than 10 days before Haftar launched his offensive.
The arms embargo was imposed on Libya in 2011.

Профессионально важные качества (ПВК) — признаки и качества, которые важны для успешного выполнения профессиональных задач работником на конкретной должности

Разновидности профессионально важных качеств
С. Г. Геллерштейн выделил три вида ПВК:
 Устойчивые - при решении задач профотбора, карьерном консультировании предположительный будущий успех деятельности зависел от ПВК устойчивых, плохо поддающихся тренировке свойств индивидуальности, личности.
 Изменчивые - при исследовании профессиональной работоспособности, утомления в целях диагностики степени снижения психических функций под влиянием проделанной работы следовало выявить ПВК как наиболее изменчивые, временно нарушаемые в данной профессии под влиянием утомления психические функции. Именно эти функции и их свойства следовало измерять для суждения о степени профессионального утомления при выполнении сравниваемых видов нагрузки.
 Развиваемые - при решении задач профессионального обучения в центре внимания психологов оказывались такие психические функции, ПВК работника, которые обеспечивали его успешную работу и при этом поддавались развитию, тренировке, могли стать предметом целенаправленного развития, упражнения.

Профессиограмма и профессиографирование
Процесс изучения конкретных профессий традиционно называют профессиографированием. Название неточное, так как проблема состоит не только в описании профессионального поведения или его результатов, но и в анализе своеобразия психики человека — субъекта труда. Итоговый текст, содержащий описание профессии, обозначается термином «профессиограмма». Профессии изучают не только психологи, но и экономисты, географы, социологи, гигиенисты, менеджеры (например, в области управления организацией стоит задача — аттестация трудовых постов или должностей). Для подбора персонала на определенные должности необходимы описания выполняемых специалистом задач и требуемых профессиональных знаний и умений, такие описания называются квалификационными характеристиками, они утверждаются руководством предприятия, ведомства по отношению к каждой профессии; в последнее время подобные документы называют профессиональными стандартами. Такой документ используется для аттестации работающих лиц, а также для формирования адекватных образовательных стандартов профессиональной деятельности, в соответствии с которыми составляются программы профессиональной подготовки в колледжах и вузах.

Направления психологического профессиографирования
Рассматривая профессиональную деятельность в русле системного подхода, В. Д. Шадриков (1979) выделил семь направлений возможного анализа профессий.
 Генетический анализ профессии: рассмотрение профессии в ее возникновении и развитии; исследование становления функциональной системы деятельности в ходе профессионализации личности.
 Личностно-мотивационный анализ деятельности: выявление и изучение потребностей и мотивов личности, которые могут быт реализованы в данной профессии.
 Компонентно-целевой анализ: исследование компонентного состава задач в деятельности; действий как процессов; результатов действий, нормативных образцов, рекордов и ошибок.
 Информационный анализ: исследуется модальность и алфавит сигналов, несущих информацию в труде; измеряется количество информации; исследуются особенности процессов восприятия и переработки информации.
 Структурно-функциональный анализ: устанавливается структура деятельности, то есть ее связи между компонентами; значимость и вес этих компонентов и связей; организация деятельности во времени; сложность компонентов-задач и трудность или легкость их усвоения; требования деятельности к способностям, качествам субъекта для успешного выполнения каждого ее компонента.
 Индивидуально-психологический анализ: исследование индивидуальных стилей деятельности.
 Психофизиологический анализ: исследование функциональных состояний, типичных для трудовой деятельности, активационных ресурсов работников в их динамике.
В работах. Е. М. Ивановой выделены специализированные направления профессиографирования, учитывающие этап исследования и его прикладную цель .

Психограмма
Психологам важно изучить и понять специфические требования той или иной профессии к психическим качествам работника. Упорядоченный набор ПВК называется профессиональной психограммой. Термин «психограмма» был предложен немецким психологом Уильямом Штерном (1871—1938).
В индустриальной психотехнике начала XX в. речь шла о психограмме как совокупности профессионально важных качеств личности профессионала. При этом составлялась некоторая модель наиболее важных, задействованных в изучаемой работе психических функций обобщенного субъекта труда — успешного профессионала. Такого рода модель служила основой для подбора психодиагностических методик и прогнозирования с их помощью успешности будущей профессиональной деятельности претендентов на конкретную вакансию (считалось, что успешная работа определяется в первую очередь наличием психических функций, способностей определенного уровня и качества). Например, психограмма успешного вагоновожатого (составленная берлинским психологом К.Траммом) включила следующие Функции: внимание; способность быстро принимать решения; присутствие духа; хорошее зрение, слух, глазомер; хорошая память; различение скорости движения; суставное чувство; технические способности; сопротивление усталости.

Профессиональная пригодность
 В.А. Бодров в своей работе  приводит определение профессиональной пригодности как индивидуальные особенности человека, необходимые для успешного выполнения трудовой (учебной) деятельности, его пригодность для конкретной деятельности.

For Infotainment
NASA to Provide Coverage of May 9 Mercury Transit of the Sun
NASA is inviting media and viewers around the world to see a relatively rare celestial event, with coverage of the Monday, May 9 transit of the sun by the planet Mercury. Media may view the event at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Agency scientists will be available at the Goddard viewing event for live media interviews from 6 to 11:30 a.m. EDT. To attend, media must contact Michelle Handleman at michelle.z.handleman@nasa.gov. To schedule an interview with a NASA scientist at the event, contact Claire Saravia, claire.g.desaravia@nasa.gov.
Mercury passes between Earth and the sun only about 13 times a century, its last trek taking place in 2006. Due to its diminutive size, viewing this event safely requires a telescope or high-powered binoculars fitted with solar filters made of specially-coated glass or Mylar.
NASA is offering several avenues for the public to view the event without specialized and costly equipment, including images on NASA.gov, a one-hour NASA Television special, and social media coverage.\
Mercury will appear as a small black dot as it crosses the edge of the sun and into view at 7:12 a.m. The planet will make a leisurely journey across the face of the sun, reaching mid-point at approximately 10:47 a.m., and exiting the golden disk at 2:42 p.m. The entire 7.5-hour path across the sun will be visible across the Eastern United States – with magnification and proper solar filters – while those in the West can observe the transit in progress after sunrise.
Images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) will be posted at:
http://www.nasa.gov/transit
NASA also will stream a live program on NASA TV and the agency's Facebook page from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. -- an informal roundtable during which experts representing planetary, heliophysics and astrophysics will discuss the science behind the Mercury transit. Viewers can ask questions via Facebook and Twitter using #AskNASA.
Roundtable participants include:
Jim Green, planetary science director at NASA Headquarters in Washington
Lika Guhathakurta, heliophysics program scientist at NASA Headquarters
Nicky Fox, project scientist for the Solar Probe Plus mission at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland
Doug Hudgins, Exoplanet Exploration Program scientist at NASA Headquarters
To view a NASA ScienceCast video on the rare opportunity the Mercury transit poses for professional astronomers and backyard sky watchers alike, go to: http://youtu.be/Gibaxh9x7O0
Images and animations for b-roll are available through NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio at: http://go.nasa.gov/1X51Duz

 Home › LifeStyle News › Ibadan Obas & Olubadan Rift: Remember we made you King on Ibadan land
Ibadan Obas & Olubadan Rift: Remember we made you King on Ibadan land
Monday, 1 April 2019
Strong indication emerged yesterday that the rift between the Olubadan of
Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji and the recently crowned Obas in Ibadanland comprising the Olubadan-in-Council may have additionally intensified.
The oppressed Ibadan Obas blamed the Olubadan for stigmatizing the Olubadan council by what they depicted as "unlawful practices and obvious absence of respects for the board".
The Olubadan-in-Council, speaking through the Otun Olubadan, Oba Lekan Balogun, after a meeting held at Mapo Hall, Ibadan yesterday, said the actions of the paramount ruler called for urgent caution to forestall crisis.
Oba Balogun, who lamented the crisis within the traditional council since the promotion of the new Obas, said it was sad that the Olubadan is destroying the system that brought him to the throne as a king.
He said rather than recognise the position of the Olubadan-in-Council, Oba Adetunji conferred the duties of the entire council on one of his wives, who rules by proxy.
Oba Balogun said: "We want to draw the attention of the people of Ibadan to some irregularities and illegalities embarked upon by the Olubadan. We are members of the Olubadan-in-Council, but we are being sidelined by the Olubadan.
"Against tradition, Oba Saliu is running a one-man show, disregarding the Council. He appoints Mogajis (family heads) and Baales (village heads) without making any recourse to the council. Most of the things that he does are illegal.
"For instance, the Olori is not a member of the Olubadan-in-Council but in his own case, the Olori unilaterally takes decisions on his behalf.
"If Olubadan thinks we do not matter, we also can show that he doesn't matter without us. He should not forget that when he was to be made the Olubadan, he rose through the council. We (the Olubadan-in-Council) made Olubadan out of him, he did not make us what we are, but we made him the Olubadan.
"Kabiyesi, Oba Adetunji has turned the institution of Olubadan into personal affairs, which can be run at his wife's whims and caprices, but which amounts to illegality. Contrary to their belief at the Popoyemoja Palace that Olubadan is an authority unto himself, we are telling the whole world that Olubadan only exists with his council.
"The danger of what they are doing in the palace has been manifesting in the ridiculous action of appointing two or more Mogajis from the same compound, honouring people with Mogaji title based on friendship as well as 'cash and carry' award of Baales to undeserving people."
Contributing to the Obas' submission, Oba Abiodun Kola-Daisi and Oba Hamidu Ajibade said there had been efforts by both individuals and organisations to ensure that peace reigns in the Olubadan-in-Council, but lamented that all such efforts had been scuttled by the wife of Kabiyesi (Olori Rasheedat), who insisted that her husband would not sit with his members of council.
The Obas warned the newly installed Mogajis and Baales in Ibadan not to see their appointment as legal, saying that "their installations should be backed by the council before being recognized".
The aggrieved Obas were installed as crown-wearing Obas by the Subsidiary Legislation of Recognised Chieftaincies (Miscellaneous Provision) order on Page 389 Cap 28 section 1, 2, and 3 of the Chiefs Law of Oyo State.
With their installation as traditional Obas on August 28, 2017, the members of the Olubadan-in-Council are expected to perform dual roles as lesser Obas and as well perform their roles as the highest advisory body to the Olubadan.
Among the other Obas in attendance were Oba Eddy Oyewole, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola and Oba Gbadamosi Adebimpe.

After 3 weeks of IPAs, I thought I would change up a bit and sample some stouts. So let's start things off with a Texan: Real Ale Brewing Company's 15th Anniversary Ale, a Russian Imperial Stout. Their web site shows 9.8% ABV and 70 IBUs. Twelve ounce bottle.
This stout poured with a medium head, which was a rich brown in color. The color of the stout itself is a very dark blackish-brown; you can't see any light through it even if you hold the glass up to the light. There is a nice hint of coffee to the aroma and some sharpness that you get from higher alcohol. Flavor is on the strong side, with a lot of malt. It definitely has the taste of a higher-alcohol beer, and some caramel-like sweetness. It gives you a little warmth as it goes down - a good winter beer. The aftertaste is slightly bitter.


The XC6372 series are PWM/PFM controlled step-up DC/DC converters. The built-in 1.4Ω switching transistor type enables a step-up circuit to be configured using only three components, a coil, a diode, and a capacitor. The control of the XC6372 series switches from PWM to PFM control during light loads when automatically switching is selected and the series is highly efficient from light loads to large output currents.
Output voltage can be selectable in the range from 2.0V to 7.0V in increments of 100mV and oscillation frequency is also selectable from 50kHz, 100kHz, and 180kHz (± 15%). Soft-start time is internally set and offers protection against in-rush currents when the power is switched on and prevents voltage overshoot. The 5 pin packages provide either a CE (chip enable) function that reduces power consumption during shut-down mode, or a VDD pin (separated power and voltage detect pins).


This seaside house by Ruhl Walker Architects is raised over the landscape, helping it to have a minimal affect on the fragile coastal ecosystem of its Cape Cod setting .
Encompassing 2,800 square feet (260 square metres), the Property of Shifting Sands sits on a sloped waterfront web site in the modest Massachusetts town of Wellfleet, positioned in the hook-shaped peninsula recognized as Cape Cod.
The residence is surrounded by miles of undeveloped land and scrub pines.
Boston-based mostly Ruhl Walker Architects was charged with making a building that honoured environmental considerations expressed by the client, the town's conservation commission and the US National Park Services.
This prompted the group to strategy a building that "appears to float out of and over its shifting, sandy internet site".
"From the starting of style it was critically crucial to us and to our consumers that the home fit into its fragile internet site seamlessly," stated the designers.
The crew also conceived a landscaping scheme featuring native, drought-resistant plants. According to the layout team, these plants will develop in excess of time to visually merge with the house.
The property is oriented to maximise views and summer time breezes – but also to minimise its publicity to winter storms. The designers described the all round layout as a series of overlapping, cantilevered planes and volumes. There are organised close to a central block topped with an arched, copper roof.
The central volume consists of the major living and dining spaces although bedrooms are located in an adjoining wing.
On the exterior, the upper portions of the dwelling are sheathed in cedar shingles, even though reduce volumes are clad in tongue-and-groove cedar boards. The elevation facing Cape Cod Bay characteristics window walls that supply sweeping views.
Site visitors enter the residence by way of a extended wooden ramp. "In the middle of the home, just inside the front door, is an architectural 'hole' that permits the residence to breathe and cool itself naturally most of the yr by means of its floor-to-ceiling awning windows," said the designers.
Lining a single wall of this passageway is a trellis with evergreen and flowering plants.
In addition to the primary house, the architects designed a detached constructing with a loft-type studio on the upper level and a storage area beneath.
Accessed by way of a raised walkway, the 800-square-foot (74 square metre) studio is utilized for practising yoga, creating art and meditating. The ground-level storage location is used for boats and seaside gear.
"Our customers dreamed of a home that would perform equally nicely as each a year-round household 'camp' and also as a 'thinking retreat' for collaborating with their colleagues," stated the designers.
The architects developed additional structures throughout the internet site that lend to the property's camp-like ambiance.
There is a little, hilltop shed with working water – and an espresso machine – that can be utilized for operating and contemplation.
Visitors can perform basketball on a little court created into a hillside, or lounge in a scorching tub built into a wooden deck. One more deck was constructed to accommodate tents.
Other functions consist of outside showers near a path to the beach, two separate fire pits, and a shaded dining region.
The residence was designed to be offer all of its own power. Power is provided by way of solar panel arrays located on the roofs of the main property and studio. There are also large-efficiency air-to-air heat exchangers and vitality-recovery ventilators.


Are You Slowly Going out of Business?
How strong and effective is your organization? How well do you cope with demographic and economic change? How effectively do you respond to societal and technological changes, and government challenges? Here's the bottom-line question: How well does your organization adapt? What's your adaptive capacity? Or are you slowly going out of business?
Too many nonprofit organizations (NGOs) trade upon the presumed value of their missions and the bold, implicit statement that "we do good." Indeed, most nonprofits do good work for their communities. But to continue such work and flourish, nonprofits have much more to do.
For example, nonprofits must better understand their constituents and create lasting value for them. In a sense, your constituents—your community, your donors and volunteers, the people you serve—are your shareholders. The sense of entitlement won't work anymore. Inadequate management and weak governance threatens credibility more and more. And the transactional nature of fundraising—and the poor understanding of what fund development really means—threatens organizational health.
Your internal relationship creates the holistic infrastructure that produces a healthy enterprise. Your internal relationships provide the foundation for all your work, allowing you to develop the other three relationships. This means agreeing on shared values and creating a corporate culture and systems that reflect those values. Ensuring individual and team learning. Encouraging dialogue and shared decision-making. Rewarding critical thinking. Welcoming pluralism. Building adaptive capacity. And, accepting uncertainty and complexity.
Your relationship with the community ensures your organization's continued relevance and clarifies its position within the community. Nurture this relationship through ongoing strategic planning and implementation. Learn while doing. This means identifying and responding to community need. Effectively collaborating to meet community needs and eliminating redundant services and organizations. Regularly testing your mission.
Your relationship with constituents develops and strengthens connections with individuals and groups to produce loyalty. Effective relationship building is critical to any effective organization. Focus on things like identifying and getting to the interests and disinterests, motivations and aspirations of your constituents. Find the most appropriate and effective ways to communicate with them and cultivate the relationship. Engage diverse constituencies more fully with your cause by creating extraordinary experiences for them.
Your relationship with volunteers enables them to take meaningful action on your behalf. Volunteers expect to be adequately supported in their work with you. I call this enabling. See my previous columns on this topic, such as this one.
Make no mistake. The survival of your organization depends on developing these four relationships. Together, these relationships can produce more philanthropic dollars. Together, these relationships make a healthy organization. The most successful organizations recognize that each relationship is a contributor to and a beneficiary of the other relationships. These organizations know that the four relationships interrelate to form one interdependent system, each relationship adding value to the others.
The reward is more than survival. With the four relationships in place, an organization can do everything better, including fund development. Without these relationships, nothing will be done well enough.
Excerpted from Strategic Fund Development: Building Profitable Relationships That Last (3rd edition), by Simone P. Joyaux. John Wiley & Sons, 2011.


Although images of giant coal-fired smokestacks and automobile tailpipes characterize greenhouse gas scenarios, a new report proposes a different way of thinking about it – product policy. Products and packaging contribute 44% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and reduction plans are more likely to succeed if extended producer responsibility (EPR) is made a cornerstone of commerce and environmental policy, the report says.
EPA reached a similar conclusion with a recent report, "Opportunities to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Materials and Land Management Practices." Doubling the recycling of construction and demolition debris would result in an emissions savings of 150 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent every year, while reducing product packaging by half could reduce CO2 equivalent emissions around 100 million tons per year.
The link is invisible in part because lack of producer responsibility laws and systems dumps the landfill or recycling burden on local governments. Sego Jackson of Everett, Washington, planner for Snohomish County Solid Waste Management Division and a veteran of the Washington State climate change advisory and action teams, says "we have to go upstream – that's the essence of what PPI and EPA are saying." Local and state greenhouse gas inventories, Jackson says, only ask, for example, whether a land-disposed computer emits a gas like methane. Although the answer is no, the entire process leading to its final disposal contributed significantly to greenhouse gases.
States are taking the lead in fashioning extended producer responsibility laws beginning with electronic waste take-back, but broader framework laws are under consideration in several states.

UK Wood Fuels
EfW Plan Submission in Scotland
FCC Environment (UK) Ltd, one of the UK's leading waste and resource management companies, is bringing forward a new masterplan for the sustainable, long-term future of its Greengairs Landfill site in North Lanarkshire. The new masterplan is in direct response to the Scottish Government's "zero waste" strategy and the forthcoming ban on the landfilling of food, paper, garden and any other biodegradable household waste before the January 1st 2021.
The Scottish Government has identified a significant shortfall in developed waste treatment facilities capable of dealing with this waste after the introduction of the ban. FCC's proposed multi-million-pound, state-of-the-art waste management complex is designed to deal with this shortfall, whilst maintaining the current employment at Greengairs, as well as creating hundreds of new construction jobs and long-term high-quality employment opportunities throughout its lifetime.
Central to this masterplan will be the construction of an Energy from Waste facility, the Drumgray Energy Recovery Centre (DERC) that will receive pre-treated residual, non-hazardous waste otherwise destined for landfill. FCC will use proven energy-from-waste technology, which will thermally treat the waste to generate electricity and heat. The Drumgray ERC will accept up to 300,000 tonnes of residual household and business waste per year, enough to export circa 25.5MW of electricity and the potential to supply heat to local homes and businesses.
FCC own and operate six EfW facilities throughout the UK, with the most recent one developed at Millerhill, just outside Edinburgh. In partnership with Midlothian and The City of Edinburgh Councils, FCC designed, constructed, financed and now operate the Millerhill facility, which now accepts the residual, household waste from within the two local authorities.
With the Proposal of Application Notice (PoAN) now submitted to North Lanarkshire Council (20th May), this has kick-started a comprehensive consultation programme. Public exhibitions are due to be held next month, allowing interested parties the opportunity to find out more about what is proposed at the Greengairs Landfill site and importantly provide feedback and comment. Taking place over two days in the villages of Greengairs and Plains, members of the development team and representatives from FCC Environment will be on hand to provided further details and answer questions, with those interested, encouraged to come along and play a part in this major proposed investment into North Lanarkshire.
Speaking following the submission of the PoAN, Gillian Sinclair, Development Manager from FCC Environment said: "This marks an important and exciting milestone in the future of the Greengairs Landfill site. The way that waste is dealt with in Scotland is changing rapidly and as a leading operator in this field we need to be agile to this. This masterplan represents a significant investment into North Lanarkshire and by using proven, energy-from-waste technology, we are moving away from the landfilling of biodegradable waste to be in line with the Scottish Government's "zero waste" strategy.
"As the Greengairs masterplan continues to take shape, FCC very much look forward to continuing to engage with the local community and stakeholders over the coming months, allowing them to view, comment and take part in this next chapter for the Greengairs site."
Along with the development of the EfW facility, the Greengairs masterplan will set out the future and reduced operation of the existing landfill site. The Scottish Government's landfill ban will only affect biodegradable waste, meaning there will still be a requirement for some waste to go to landfill. The Greengairs site is well positioned to accept this waste, albeit at a significantly reduced capacity than it currently does.
The first round of public consultation events are due to take place next month, with a second round of events due to take place later this summer, with FCC proposing to submit a planning application to North Lanarkshire Council later this year

1 Month With Madden NFL 19
By sportsgame in Madden NFL October 15, 2018
Before talking about the different game modes, let's take a look at the game that has gained in precision thanks to Real Player Motion. No more mistakes and collisions like last year. After a short period of driving (and understanding of the game for beginners, but the rest assured a very well-done tutorial is in the game), it will be very nice to succeed very specific commercial and passes with feints and changes Rhythm to break the ankles of your opponents.
Long Shot 2
On the previous work, Madden continues in the line of cinema fashions with his characters Devin Wade and Colt Cruise. This part of Madden with a script contains more than the way with comedians like Adam Sandler or Ron Cephas Jones. The story is concrete (football, of course, but also great American themes such as loss or redemption) but it does not leave room for improvisation. There is no choice of dialogues to influence the story. It's a shame.
Ultimate Team alone or with several
FIFA regulars will not be disappointed to see that Madden has finally upgraded to Ultimate Team mode. A necessary, efficient and very attractive review. If you are still pressed towards consumption and buying credits (Training) to improve your cards, this mode is worth it for the detour with new features such as the MUT Squad Challenges or you face the AI with three different challenges. Solo players can play in solo Battles mode with 13 games per week.
In every franchise
The other way to prove absolutely is one in which you assume the role of head of a franchise, where the principle is to build your team and take it to the highest for several seasons. The progression is made through the Archetypes of players that you can improve thanks to the XP and Madden 19 coins obtained in the matches. The identity of your team also depends on your game patterns. It is up to you to choose who you want to look like.

Election 2008: Don Valley West sends rookie MP to Ottawa
By Andrew Hood
The new Liberal MP for the Don Valley West riding in Toronto has promised to take the serious concerns of his constituents to the next Parliament in Ottawa.
In a battle not decided until well after the polls closed at 9:30 Tuesday evening, Liberal candidate Rob Oliphant came out on top.
Oliphant received 21,002 votes versus his Conservative rival John Carmichael with 18,644 votes. In his victory speech late Tuesday, Oliphant explained his goals as a first-time Member of Parliament.
"I'm going there to take your stories and your dreams and your ideas," he said. "To raise the issues of concern of the people of Canada and the people of Don Valley West in the House of Commons."
John Godfrey, MP of Don Valley West from 1993 to Aug. 1 this year, offered his support to Rob Oliphant at the Liberal victory party.
"Rob is good news for the riding; he's a good guy," Godfrey said. "Rob's in the caring profession; he's a minister. You'll find these are transferable skills."
Rob Oliphant raised various issues of concern, including the environment, barriers to higher education, child care, and, in particular, poverty.
"As long as one person in this riding is poor, we're all poor," he said. "Mr. Harper, watch out. I'm on my way to Ottawa and I got some things to say."

Well Rob will make an impression. He does not lack confidence and some people knew he was bored with ministry stuff. The ego has landed
