The American Magazine of Useful and Entertaining Knowledge (1834–1837) was a monthly magazine based in Boston, Massachusetts. It was established by a group of engravers to "give to the public a work descriptive, not merely of subjects, scenes, places, and persons existing in distant climes, but also of those which are to be found in our own fine and native country." It featured profusely illustrated articles on many topics, including American animals, plants, natural scenery, colleges, banks, hospitals, churches, cities, technology, and so on; as well as biographical articles on figureheads of the revolutionary and federal eras. Modelled after the British Penny Magazine, it was published first by the Boston Bewick Company, then by William D. Ticknor and John L. Sibley. In 1836 Nathaniel Hawthorne served as editor.
The Double Geneva is a rare Swiss stamp that was issued by the City of Geneva in 1843, making it the third-oldest stamp of the European continent after the Zurich 4 and 6 (1842), and the British Penny Black and Two penny blue, (1840). It bears the name Double Geneva for the double image on the stamp and its place of origin.
In English- and French-speaking countries, newspaper publishers have applied the name Gazette since the 17th century; today, numerous weekly and daily newspapers bear the name The Gazette.
The British penny (1⁄240 of a pound sterling), a large, pre-decimal coin continuing the series of pennies that began about the year 700, was struck intermittently during the 20th century until its withdrawal after 1970. Throughout the period 1901 to 1970, the obverse ("heads" side) of the bronze coin depicted the monarch who was reigning at the start of the year. The reverse featured an image of Britannia seated with shield, trident, and helm, originally created by Leonard Charles Wyon and based on an earlier design for the penny by his father William Wyon. The coins also were used in dominions and British colonies that had not issued their own coins.
The reverse design had in 1895 been modified by Engraver of the Royal Mint George William de Saulles. Following Queen Victoria's death in 1901, de Saulles was called upon to create a design for the obverse featuring Edward VII. This appeared on the penny in 1902, and remained in use until the year of King Edward's death, 1910. An obverse design by Sir Bertram Mackennal depicting George V went into use in 1911, and remained with some modification until the year of the King's death, 1936. No pennies were produced for commerce in 1933, as there were a sufficient number in circulation. At least seven were struck that year, mostly for placement beneath foundation stones and in museums; they are valuable today. Edward VIII's short reign is only represented by a single pattern coin, dated 1937. That year, a new obverse design depicting George VI by Humphrey Paget went into use. During the Second World War period of 1941 to 1943, pennies were struck only for the colonies; these are all dated 1940, the most recent year of production for the United Kingdom. After the war, demand for the penny began to diminish. Most of the 1950 and 1951 pieces were sent to Bermuda, with many retrieved from circulation and repatriated by British coin dealers because of their relative scarcity.
Although commerce did not require them, pennies bearing the likeness of Elizabeth II were minted in 1953 in sets sold to the public, using an obverse design by Mary Gillick. One 1954 penny was struck, for internal Mint purposes. By 1961, new pennies were needed again for circulation, and were produced in large numbers. The officials who planned decimalisation in the 1960s did not favour keeping the large bronze penny, whose value had been eroded by inflation. The last for circulation were dated 1967—a final proof set was dated 1970. The old penny quickly went out of use after Decimal Day, 15 February 1971 - there was no exact decimal equivalent, and the slogan "use your old pennies in sixpenny lots" explained that pennies and "threepenny bits" were only accepted in shops if the total value was six old pence (exactly 2 1/2 new pence). The old penny was demonetised on 31 August of that year.
The livre was currency of Jersey until 1834. It consisted entirely of French coins.
Until the 1720s, the currency used was the French livre, subdivided into 20 sous, each of 12 deniers. The commonest coin in circulation was the liard (3 deniers or ¼ of a sou). However, the copper coinage had devalued against silver and by the 1720s liards were being exchanged in St Malo at a rate of 6 to the sou. The consequent cross-border financial speculation caused by the discrepancy in coinage values was threatening economic stability. The States of Jersey therefore resolved to devalue the liard to 6 to the sou. The legislation to that effect implemented in 1729 caused popular riots that shook the establishment. The devaluation was therefore cancelled and the liard remained officially at 4 to the sou until 1834 (and liard remains the Jèrriais word for a farthing).
The Code des Lois of 1771 codified the value of the livre against sterling in order to regulate the exchange of sterling paid to the British garrison and the currency used by the population. The exchange rate was set at 24 livres = 1 pound, making the 2 sous coin equal to a British penny. However, in the early 19th century, an exchange rate of 26 livres = 1 pound was established.
In the French Revolutionary period, the livre was replaced by the franc. The last coins and notes of the livre currency system were issued in France in the Year II of the Republic (1794).
By the 1830s, the surviving livre coinage was in very short supply in Jersey and so worn as to be unusable. The States passed a law on September 18, 1834 that sterling would be sole legal tender as from October 1, 1834 (this law was confirmed by Order in Council, June 24, 1835). However, although sterling was henceforth the sole legal tender, French coinage continued to circulate in Jersey. In 1840, a new copper coinage was introduced for Jersey, based on a penny worth 1⁄13 of a shilling, the equivalent of 2 sous.
Nonetheless, some French coins continued to circulate (increasingly French francs). On February 7, 1923 the States passed a law to ban the import of foreign copper coinage in sums exceeding 20 sous. This law was confirmed by Order in Council March 12, 1923 and registered in the Royal Court April 7, 1923. The States then proceeded to take steps to remove French copper coinage from circulation.
On August 2, 1923, the States authorised the Finance Committee to exchange French copper coins for Jersey copper coins. Between August 27 and September 8, the Treasury carried out at their office the exchange of 1 and 2 sous French coins for Jersey coins and placed advertisements in the press to that effect, with an additional reminder that French coinage was still not legal tender.
The penny-farthing, also known as a high wheel, high wheeler and ordinary, was the first machine to be called a "bicycle". It was popular in the 1870s and 1880s, with its large front wheel providing high speeds (owing to it travelling a large distance for every rotation of the legs) and comfort (the large wheel provides greater shock absorption). It became obsolete from the late 1880s with the development of modern bicycles, which provided similar speed amplification via chain-driven gear trains and comfort through pneumatic tyres, and were marketed in comparison to penny-farthings as "safety bicycles" due to the reduced danger of falling and the reduced height to fall from.The name came from the British penny and farthing coins, one much larger than the other, so that the side view resembles a penny leading a farthing. Although the name "penny-farthing" is now the most common, it was probably not used until the machines were nearly outdated; the first recorded print reference is from 1891 in Bicycling News. For most of their reign, they were simply known as "bicycles". In the late 1890s, the name "ordinary" began to be used, to distinguish them from the emerging safety bicycles; this term and "hi-wheel" (and variants) are preferred by many modern enthusiasts.Following the popularity of the boneshaker, Eugène Meyer, a Frenchman, invented the high-wheeler bicycle design in 1869 and fashioned the wire-spoke tension wheel. Around 1870 English inventor James Starley, described as the father of the bicycle industry, and others, began producing bicycles based on the French boneshaker but with front wheels of increasing size, because larger front wheels, up to 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter, enabled higher speeds on bicycles limited to direct drive. In 1878, Albert Pope began manufacturing the Columbia bicycle outside Boston, starting their two-decade heyday in America.Although the trend was short-lived, the penny-farthing became a symbol of the late Victorian era. Its popularity also coincided with the birth of cycling as a sport.
The coin was first introduced in 1911, and stopped being minted in 1965, with the introduction of decimalisation. When decimalisation happened on 14 February 1966, the coin value was equal to 0.8333¢.
The obverse of the coin featured the reigning Australian monarch. Three were featured: George V, George VI and Elizabeth II. All of the pennies featuring George VI and Elizabeth II had a kangaroo on the reverse except for the 1965 penny it featured a Roman. The kangaroo image was on the Australian half-penny and has since been included on the dollar coin and the bullion silver kangaroo.
During the George VI era, coins minted at Perth had a dot either at the end of the word "PENNY", after the word "AUSTRALIA" or in between the "K" and "G" above the end of the kangaroo's tail, while coins from Melbourne did not have a dot. An "I" under the bust of George VI denoted being minted in India. A "PL" mintmark after "PENNY" denoted minting in London, England. This continued through the end of the coin's lifetime.
The English penny (plural "pence"), originally a coin of 1.3 to 1.5 grams (0.042 to 0.048 troy ounces; 0.046 to 0.053 ounces) pure silver, was introduced around the year 785 by King Offa of Mercia. These coins were similar in size and weight to the continental deniers of the period and to the Anglo-Saxon sceats which had preceded it.
Throughout the period of the Kingdom of England, from its beginnings in the 9th century, the penny was produced in silver. Pennies of the same nominal value, one 240th of a pound sterling, were in circulation continuously until the creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707.
The penny (1d) (Irish: pingin) coin was the third smallest denomination of the pre-decimal Irish pound, worth 1⁄240 of a pound or 1⁄12 of a shilling. To express an amount, penny was abbreviated to "d", e.g. 1d, from the Roman denarius. It was introduced in 1928 to replace its British counterpart, used when all of Ireland was a constituent country of the United Kingdom. The last year of minting was 1968 and it ceased to be legal tender on 31 December 1971.
The coin measured 1.215 inches (30.9 mm) in diameter and weighed 9.45 grams. The bronze coin was made up of 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc. Its dimensions were the same as that of the British penny as both currencies were pegged until 1979.
The reverse of the penny was designed by the English artist Percy Metcalfe. It featured a hen and five chicks and the coin's Irish name. The obverse featured the Irish harp. From 1928 to 1937 the date was split either side of the harp with the name Saorstát Éireann circling around. From 1938 to 1968 the inscription changed to Éire on the left of the harp and the date on the right.
The penny sterling (symbol: p; plural: pence) is a subdivision of pound sterling, the currency for the United Kingdom. It is currently 1⁄100 of a pound, but historically was 1⁄240 of a pound (old penny sterling). Its name is carried by the present British penny.
Stocks are often traded in pence rather than pounds. Stock exchanges often use GBX (or GBp) to indicate that this is the case for the given stock rather than the ISO 4217 currency symbol GBP for pound sterling.
Světozor ("Seeing the World") was a Czech language illustrated magazine published in 19th and 20th century.
The London Journal; and Weekly Record of Literature, Science and Art (published from 1845 to 1928) was a British penny fiction weekly, one of the best-selling magazines of the nineteenth century.
The magazine was established by George Stiff, published by George Vickers and initially written and edited by George W. M. Reynolds. After Reynolds left to found his own Reynolds's Miscellany in 1846, John Wilson Ross became editor.
In the mid-1850s the circulation was over 500,000.
In 1857 Herbert Ingram, in secret partnership with Punch 's owners Bradbury and Evans, bought the newspaper, and Punch 's editor Mark Lemon was placed in editorial charge. Lemon's attempt to rebrand the newspaper, serializing novels by Walter Scott, was a commercial failure. In 1859 Stiff bought the paper back (combining it with a title The Guide which he had started in the interim). Stiff installed Percy B. St. John and then Pierce Egan as editor. After Stiff's bankruptcy in 1862 W. S. Johnson became proprietor.
By 1883 it had transformed itself from being a "penny family weekly" into what was recognizably a "woman's magazine". In 1889 Herbert Allingham became editor, publishing his own story "A Devil of a Woman" in 1893.


Adopted in 1929, the U.S. two-dollar bill features the third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson as the design upfront while the backside of it shows a painting of the United States Declaration of Independence. It is one of the rarest current denominations due to low printing numbers. Unlike the other bills, this one features two former U.S. presidents, namely Jefferson and John Adams. There are many other interesting things to find out about it including the worth of a two-dollar bill.
How much is a two-dollar bill worth? The answer is $2. Because of its rarity, many people were led to believe that a two-dollar bill is more valuable compared to other current denominations out there. Because of this misconception, a number of people started to hoard them, which eventually caused a further decline in the number of circulating two-dollar bills. Add to that, the government has reduced its production since the latter parts of the 1950s.
Amongst the many currency denominations in the U.S. today, the two-dollar bill is one of the least circulated. Several factors contributed to this, one of which is the low production. According to reports, its production rate is less than 1 percent of all the bills produced. Add to that, people rarely use them as change when it comes to commercial transactions. Third, some individuals who own two-dollar bills hoard them because of folk beliefs and urban legends surrounding this particular denomination.
The U.S. federal government used it first some time in July 1862. It use was discontinued in 1966, the reasons of which include unpopularity and low use. Its use was only resumed in 1976, when it became part of the U.S. bicentennial. At that point, the government gave it a much higher status. Since then, it was considered officially as a Federal Reserve Note.
After it was released in 1976, many people considered this bill as a collectible. In fact, the primary intention of the U.S. Treasury was to make it part of the circulating currency. A major reason for this failure was the decision of business enterprises and corporations not to make it part of their usual operations. In addition, many believed that the disappearance of the old $2 U.S. Notes also contributed to this failure. In 2005, the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing printed 61 million of this bill, which of course contributed to the increase of its circulation in recent years.

The New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) says there is 117.2 megawatts of installed solar capacity in Orange County as of 2019, making it one of just three counties to break 100 megawatts.
South Goshen Solar, the largest of the four reviewed solar farm proposals, would be a 5-megawatt solar array and battery storage facility on 87.1 acres of land off Route 17A, just southwest of Dikeman Drive, developed by Community Energy Solar (CES).
CES is also developing Glenmere Lake Solar on Pulaski Highway, just off 17A. The 2-megawatt capacity array's roughly 8,000 solar panels will take up about 20 acres on the 129-acre parcel and generate enough electricity annually to power about 500 homes.
The 833 Pulaski Highway Goshen Solar, off Pulaski Highway just south of Big Island Road on the opposite side of Pulaski, will be a 1.65-megawatt project on about 73 acres. Davis Solar is proposed by Cypress Creek Renewables as a 2-megawatt solar farm at 131 Owens Road, on just shy of 85 acres.
Environmental review is complete for those four projects, Bergus said.
Town Supervisor Doug Bloomfield said Goshen had about 150 dairy farms when he was growing up. Now there are two. The solar farms help the landowners, many with other kinds of farms or farm-related businesses, to hang on to their property. Take Makuen Realty, which owns the South Goshen Solar site.
"They've been paying taxes" on that acreage, Bloomfield said. "By leasing it out. They can keep the land."
Goshen's zoning requires solar farms to have a thorough environmental review, siting and landscaping to minimize the environmental impact and the view, and a decommissioning plan.
Another 5 megawatts of capacity, Urbanski Solar Farm, has been proposed for Pulaski Highway at Big Island Road and Wisniewski Road; and a 5-megawatt array is proposed as Varano Solar on Maple Avenue.
East Point Energy is also looking at locations for a battery site to store power for Orange and Rockland, Bloomfield said.
"It's very good for the ecology," Bloomfield said "It's passive solar, rather than fossil fuels."

Lane Bryant has a new girl in town and her name is Allie. It's their new universal fit pant which means that women of any size or body shape will look good in these pants. With their fit revolution technology and advanced waistband construction making these one of the most comfiest pants. They are made of a stretchy material that hugs the body from waist to knee and flares out at the hem. Offering sizes from 16-28 in short, regular and tall is such a great thing that LB decided to do, making this pant available to almost everyone. While a Boot Cut is not my normal style of pants, I prefer a more skinny fit, I could easily see myself wearing these for work, dressed up or down, there's a lot you can do with this pant.
Lane Bryant wanted to showcase the Allie Pant on women of different sizes and body types. So they asked myself, fellow Instagram Wives Darlene and Jami and Plus Model Magazine Blog Editor Marcy Cruz to give them a try. I represented the 20 regular size, Darlene the 18 Short, Jami the 16 regular and Marcy 28 regular. I have to say that the pants fit me great, being 5''7 sometimes lengths on pants can be tricky but the hem of these hit me at the right spot. I decided to pair these pants with this cute Striped Off-The-Shoulder Top for fun and flirty look.
We had such fun shooting for this project and seeing how each of us styled these pants. I think each look totally represented our personal style while having some uniformity to it (2 of us in stripes and 2 in all black). We definitely showed size diversity and how one pant can look great on anyone.
Big thank you to Lane Bryant for having us be apart of this project. I think the Allie Pant is a great addition to the LB family and kudos to them for creating a pant that is size friendly. Make sure to head over to Darlene, Jami and Marcy's blog to hear what they have to say about the Allie Pant. Also check them out in the Herringbone and Faux Denim styles.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY
Our Village Hall began life in early 1914 as an Estate Hall, built by Percy Selwyn Newbound, the developer of the Parkfield Estate, for its workers. At that time the village was very different, with about 650 residents instead of today's 3,900 or so.
Percy Newbound bought the plot of land on which the Hall stands in February 1914. He was described in various legal documents as a Gentleman or a Builder, but the label which best fits him today is that of a property developer, as he came to build and own a large number of properties in the village and elsewhere in Hull, and he developed the bulk of the Parkfield Estate. Selwyn Avenue is named after him. Upon completion of the main part of the Hall (seen from the rear in the postcard above), it was immediately requisitioned by the Army for the duration of the First World War as a canteen and recreation hall for the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry troops, whom we know from a resident's diary were billeted in North Ferriby.
Little is known for sure about the use of the Hall in the period after World War One, other than a complex series of financial deals and mortgages over this and other land to help Mr. Newbound finance his projects, and details of a few events that took place in it, but it is fairly clear that the Hall was used for community purposes almost from day one.
At some stage between the wars the Hall was extended by the construction of a new wing to the rear, as shown in the floor plan below, dating from the 1930s.
This contained a three-bedroomed flat for the use of the caretaker, a small committee or retiring room and, at the back, a small room marked as "outside letting space". This wing is the section that now contains the Priory Rooms, Dance Studio and doctors' surgery.
The North Ferriby Parish Council minutes for 18th July 1939 show that enquiries had been made with regard to possible grants towards the cost of buying or building a village hall. However, a couple of months later saw the outbreak of World War II and, although residents recall the Hall being used for recreational purposes, we know that it was soon requisitioned by the military; by the end of the war it was in a very dilapidated condition. Soon afterwards a negotiating committee was formed by the Parish Council with the intention of acquiring the Estate Hall as a social centre for the village.
The Parish Council minutes of 5th November 1947 record enquiries about the acquisition of the Estate Hall and correspondence with the Yorkshire Rural Community Council regarding possible grants and loans. The outcome was that a company, North Ferriby Village Hall Limited, was formed to buy the Hall from its then owner, the Westminster Bank, and to carry out urgent renovatory work before transferring ownership to the Parish Council. This was funded by residents, donating an average of £5 per house – a considerable sum in those days. On 13th February 1950 the Westminster Bank sold the Hall and site to North Ferriby Village Hall Limited. Later that year the Parish Council, as future Custodian Trustees of the Village Hall, contracted with North Ferriby Village Hall Limited to purchase the Hall and site at a price of £1,556.3s.7d (£1,556.18p).
Meanwhile, an opening ceremony had been held on 4th November 1949, although 'only half the [renovation] scheme had been accomplished up to date'. The programme stated 'the Hall belongs to the village and is to be run by the village for the benefit of the village. It is hoped that ….. [it] will not only fill the present need but will add to and enrich our village life in the future'.
The Trust Deed, confirmed on 24th March 1953, vested 'the general management and control of the Trust premises and the arrangements for their use' in a Committee of Management, with specified duties and powers as Charity Trustees. However, the Hall was not finally conveyed from North Ferriby Village Hall Limited to the Parish Council until 6th July 1962. Had this been overlooked?
As a result of the building of housing in New Walk, on the northern boundary of the Hall's land, access to the northern exterior of the Hall became difficult. It was therefore agreed in 1974 to transfer a strip of land along the north side of the Hall to the owners of the four bungalows involved, in return for their protecting the damp proof course and air bricks of the Hall wall, and allowing the Trustees or their workmen access for purposes of alteration, repair and maintenance.
Following the Parish Council's acquisition of the Hall, the initial management committee comprised representatives of the Parish Council, the Parochial Church Council, North Ferriby Methodist Church, Women's Institute, British Legion, Boy Scouts, Toc. H., North Ferriby United A.F.C., Drama Group and the Playing Fields Association. Only Toc. H, an international charity, is no longer active in the village although a few of the others are no longer involved with the Hall.
A resident has told us that the Hall has always been used for community events by almost every village club – the drama group, the football club, the cricket club, the Darby and Joan Club, Guides and Brownies, Cubs and Scouts; at times a hairdresser and also a barber operated there, it has accommodated a small private school and, for many years, the baby clinic. She tells us that there was a dance every Saturday night, well attended as can be seen from her 1930s photograph above. On 12th May 1937 the Hall was one of the focal points of the celebration of the Coronation of King George VI. After the daytime programme, the Estate Hall hosted a Whist Drive at 8.00 p.m., followed by a Dance at 10.00 p.m. We don't know who played for the Dance, but it is recorded that the ldeal Boilers and Radiators Works Band played for the fancy dress parade and sports during the afternoon. During WWII the WRVS operated from the Estate Hall issuing identity cards, ration books, rose hip syrup, orange juice etc. and, during the early years of the war, the Ferriby Anti-Gloom Society (FAGS) met each Saturday evening for community singing, conjurors and the like.
Over the years, the Hall has undergone a number of renovations. At some date the bay windows at the end of the Hall were bricked up. Recent changes have been the construction of a flat-roofed storeroom at the front, to the left of the entrance, in the early 1990s, and the conversion of the room at the rear of the Priory Rooms wing (the "outside letting space" referred to earlier) from a charity shop operated by the R.N.L.I. for many years up to 2009 to a doctor's surgery which opened in 2010. And in this Centenary year the antiquated main toilets have been replaced by smart new energy-saving modern ones.

Burmese Hypokalemia, also known as Familial Episodic Hypokalaemic Polymyopathy, is a recessive genetic defect characterized by episodes of low serum potassium levels and high CPK (creatine phosphate kinase, an enzyme that indicates muscle damage). Clinical signs include episodes of skeletal muscle weakness which can affect the whole animal or may be restricted to certain muscles. This is most obvious in the neck muscles, but sometimes occurs in just the limbs. As a result affected cats may show problems with walking and holding their head correctly. The disease is not typically fatal and affected cats usually can be managed by adding potassium supplements to their diet. For specifics on management of this condition, owners are urged to consult with their veterinarian.

MEGA REVIEW: HOT ROD
There are games that have cute graphics. There are games that have great playability. There are games that have a long playtime. And then there are games that have all of that. Mega games. And mega games deserve mega reviews. In terms of pictures (exactly 100 screenshots!), not text–so relax and read on. In case you're really extremely text-shy, just scroll down to the mega gallery at the end of the article.
A VERY DIFFERENT RACING GAME
Hot Rod was originally a 1988 SEGA top-down racing arcade game. A very different racing game.
Hot Rod is one of the best racing games to ever hit the 8-bit market.
It starts with that it's one of just very few overhead games where you don't race on circuits. Instead, you're driving across an unspecified country. Every three stages take place in roughly the same kind of landscape. The landscapes range from mountains to deserts to sea shores and from wilderness to cities. You'll drive not only on good old tarmac, but also on dirt, sand, snow, and ice. So what you're getting are 30 levels of scrolling awesomeness in ten different environments.
Title screens from the Spectrum (left) and Commodore 64 (right) version. The CPC one has no title picture.
Another huge difference is that unlike in other car games, Hot Rod isn't about lightning-quick reactions. The pace of the game is quite relaxed, so it's all about precision driving, not jerking the wheel in this or that direction as fast as possible. That is supported by a game mechanics that's only possible in a game world: there are no collisions with other players. Your car can be in the very same place as your opponent's, so everyone can take the racing line they deem the optimal one. This eliminates the most frequent problem of multiplayer car games, where you often get rid of the other humans as soon as possible through crashing into them and/or driving them off the track and then just cruise to victory. It practically asks for cooperative playing instead: sharing the available bonuses and trying to get both humans through all the levels.
Anytime you have a scrolling multiplayer racer, you have to solve the same problem: what to do with a player who's lagging behind so much that they'd fall off the screen? Hot Rod bases its logic on one all-important variable: gas. You get extra gas depending on your place in each stage, and you can collect some on the road in the form of extras. You burn it with each second the road, and it's a currency in which you pay for your blunders. If one of the three cars (up to two human players, the rest is played by the machine), for example, falls into the ocean or gets buried by an avalanche or a landslide, they're resurrected at the cost of 20 gas units. Same goes for the time when they fall behind–the game puts them back among the competitors, but they lose 20 gas. If their gas tank gets empty–game over.
Perhaps the only traditional element of Hot Rod are the upgrades, which you exchange for the second most important indicator in the game: money. You receive money for your performane in the races, and in the CPC and ZX version also for collecting bonuses. Between the races, you can visit a parts shop and buy one of the 20 possible thingies that change the behavior of your car. These are engines, wings, bumpers, and tires for different surfaces. Yet even here, Hot Rod inserts its own little twist. Every shop has only select upgrades and you can always buy only one; therefore, you have to plan your upgrade strategy very carefully.
In Parts Shops, you can buy upgrades for your car. This one is from the CPC version.
In most stages, the roads and/or streets are closed for the race, but occasionally, Hot Rod gets a Gumballish touch, and you have to navigate among other cars, dozers, and rollers, and avoid being caught by the police or hit by a train. And sometimes you can take a shortcut that, in turn, is more difficult navigate – so if you're good, you gain, if you make a mistake, you lose time (and possibly gas).
THREE DIFFERENTLY BEAUTIFUL VERSIONS
All of the above says how much creativity and effort went into the game, but what I've always loved about Hot Rod the most is how it all clicks together. You get a polished, immensely entertaining, variable, highly replayable eye candy monster of a game. Hot Rod is simply one of the best racing games to ever hit the 8-bit market (and my No. 1 personally). And its versions are a perfect example of that each 8-bit platform has its strengths.
Hot Rod found its way to the C=64, CPC, and ZX.
Top right: ZX Spectrum. Bottom left: C=64. Bottom right: CPC. This layout will be the same for all the pictures in the mega gallery below.
The best-presented version is the C=64 one. It has a neat intro, great music by Jeroen Tel, and makes the most of the Commodore's hardware sprites and hardware scrolling. Everything is smooth and sleek. However, typically for C=64 versions of arcade games, there's one big dent in all that beauty: the game lacks nine out of the original 30 levels (19-24, 28-30). Sadly, they are some of the best levels. As they are all from the final parts of the game, it looks as if there was a hard deadline and the publisher said, "We'll just put out whatever we'll have by then." Back on the positive side, the C=64 is the only 8-bit version that has an end sequence – on the CPC and the ZX, the game just wraps (which I have always hated–I play games to win them, not to play them until I lose).
The C=64 version is also the best balanced of them all. It's got to do with the brave, but ultimately bad, decision of the CPC and ZX converters to be fair to the human players and implement actual AI. On the C=64, you have your typical computer droids. They follow a predetermined path no matter what. It's a little dull, very predictable–but it works. On the Z80-based machines, the computer tries to find the best way through the level on the fly, reacting to what's currently happening on the screen. The problem is that the AI is too weak. Once you throw it off balance, it usually fails to get back on track and your victory in that level is guaranteed. Yet, when the AI works well, the racing is more fun than on the C=64, as the computer also upgrades its cars, and if you let it grow, it becomes a tough opponent. When a computer car gets a game over, a new car is pitted against you, starting from scratch without any upgrades.
Another bit of balancing that the C=64 version got right is the economy. On the Speccy, and esp. on the CPC, near the end, you have a lot of money and not much to buy for it (with most upgrades priced between $600 and $5000, the $48000 from the picture above is ridiculously much). While on the C=64, an engine will last you only 6 races, so you have to make sure to win enough money to keep replacing it–and remember the right levels in which the Parts Shops have the engines you want.
The CPC version of the game has all of the glorious 30 levels but pays the price for the hardware it runs on. Compared to the C=64 and ZX version, it feels kind of sluggish. There's a delay between the time you change the steering and the time the car actually reacts. Which means that especially on snow and ice, where your car is already difficult to control by default, you have to do a lot of very anticipative driving. Apart from the jerky scrolling, there's also a smaller game window, into which the creators tried to put all the necessary graphics, resulting in not much detail. On the other hand, compared to Speccy, the graphics are much more colorful. And the slower pace of the game can be an advantage for weaker gamers.
The ZX version has the least colors, but that's the nature of the platform. The only serious problem with the graphics is that while on the C=64 and the CPC, there's a red, green, and blue car, on the Spectrum, all the cars are black. And as they can all be in one place at one time, sometimes it happens that you're happy with how brilliantly you've steered through a curve, to notice only five seconds later that your car actually is the one that ended in the barrier and that you're mistaking it for one of your computer opponents. On the other hand, the hires graphics allow for a solid level of detail, and the game is as fast as it needs to be and very playable.
A MUST-PLAY GAME
Having had a Commodore 64 for almost 30 years now, I've completed Hot Rod on the C=64 countless times already, but I loved playing through it on the CPC as well as on the Spectrum. And I heartily recommend you to do the same, because each of the versions has nice bits that the others lack. You can see it in the mega gallery that follows. And then? Stop reading, start playing!

In this gallery, you'll find a screenshot from every level on each platform. What we're not showing you is the end sequence. After all, this is a teaser. Enjoy it, drool, and then play through the game on your own. Have fun!

Film Review: "Robocop" (2014)
March 4, 2014 Kev Brock	2 Comments
Starring: Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Jackie Earle Haley
Directed by: Jose Padilha
Today, I decided to go hit the movie theaters for something to do and I finally gotten around to checking out the new "Robocop" film… here is my review:
Plot/synopsis: In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop – is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
I wanted to see this film 'cause like most movie fans, I am a huge fan of the original 1987 "Robocop" film directed by Paul Verhoeven. The original film is an important classic and it's a film I will always love.
I was pretty surprised of the new "Robocop" film that came out this year. The film got mixed reviews and I couldn't understand why. The film had a "plot" and a good one. I thought the film was well-written and the story explained the whole man-in-machine plot pretty well. This movie explained so much that the original film didn't. In this film, Robocop had a little more personality and he was more human than the Peter Weller version. Don't get me wrong, this film will never top the original but I appreciated the new film for what it was.
The casting was pretty strong in this movie and was well-acted by everyone. It was amazing to see Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton play in the same movie together. Both actors have one thing in common. What are they? Both of them starred in Batman films. Sam L. Jackson and Jackie Earle Haley were great too. It's nice to finally see a movie with Jackie Earle Haley in it in which he's not wearing make up or costumes.
I thought the visuals and special effects in this movie was pretty impressive. The action scenes and violence was a blast to watch too. I'm also happy that they kept the original "Robocop" theme that opened the movie, that was awesome! While this film isn't a straight-up remake from the original, there are still going to be a lot of similarities from the original, though. The story was original and something different.
I thought the star who played Robocop, Joel Kinnaman made a great Robocop. He looked a lot like Peter Weller's Robocop.
With all that being said, I thought this was a badass movie. I liked it a lot. This is the kind of film that doesn't deserve the negative criticism. I didn't find anything wrong with it. You should definitely check this film out yourself if you're a Robocop fan. It's recommended for new fans too.
Two thumbs up.

Cool Video: "Robocop" remake actually looks pretty awesome!!!
September 6, 2013 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
MGM released the first trailer for the "Robocop" remake and I'm actually kind of impressed with it! I was skeptical of the remake but now that I've seen the trailer, I guess I'll have a positive opinion for it. Joel Kinnaman is the new Robocop. The film also stars Sam L. Jackson and Gary Oldman. I like the new Robocop armor as well.
While the remake does look like a good one, it still won't top the original with Peter Weller. The original is an essential classic. The original is one of my favorite films of all time.

Report: Original Robocop actor, Peter Weller, joins the cast of "Star Trek" sequel…
December 5, 2011 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
The casting for JJ Abrams, "Star Trek" sequel just got even more interesting! First Benicio Del Torro and actress, Alice Eve are both in talks of starring. Here's the next surprising casting. I'm sure you've all seen the Paul Verhoeven epic sci-fi action flick, "Robocop", starring Peter Weller. Well Peter just got casted for an un-named role in JJ's "Star Trek" sequel. They don't even say whether he's playing a villain or a hero.
More on the story, here.
Nice! I loved the first, Robocop, movie. Just so you know, Peter has never retired from acting, he's still working after all this time. He's just been doing other movies and TV shows over the years. I remember seeing Peter in a role for "Dexter – Season 5", he was a character named, Stan Liddy.
As for what character that Peter could be playing in "Star Trek", my guess is that it could be, John Frederick Paxton, in which he played for in two episodes of the TV show, "Star Trek: Enterprise".

Report: New "Robocop" movie promises to be R rated…
July 29, 2008 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
With the likes of "Die Hard 4", "Terminator: Salvation", and "Beverly Hills Cop 4" all being rated PG-13, the producer of the new Robocop film promises the film will be rated R. That means the film will still have it's violent content and lots of profanity. While the first two Robocop films were rated R, the third one in the trilogy was PG-13.
Remember, this new Robocop film is not another sequel, it's a "reboot" which means starting over again.
MTV Movies Blog reports:

Very cool, so glad they are considering an R rating, to be an adult oriented Robocop film instead of a family friendly one. That's the way Robocop should be.

Report: MGM confirms "Robocop" reboot…
MGM studios has just greenlighted to reboot the "Robocop" franchise. Rumours been going strong for a long while that this was a "Robocop" remake. Film maker Darren Aronofsky confirmed it wasn't a remake, it is actually another sequel, more rumours started that it's "Robocop 4".
Turns out that wasn't true either. The Robocop films are starting over again just like the Batman and James Bond movies are starting over again. Aronofsky has just signed on to direct the reboot of "Robocop", remember there is a difference between "remake" and "reboot".
Film makers are keeping the synopsis under wraps but they are taking the new franchise into a different direction. MGM aims for a 2010 release of the first "Robocop" film.

Hope they pick a good actor for Robocop. I still say it should be Peter Weller! Bring him on!

Report: Robocop 4 coming? It's no remake…
Rumours been going strong for a long while that a "Robocop" remake is in the works. Turns out, it's not true. Film director Darren Aronofsky, confirmed it's actually another sequel to add another film to the Robocop trilogy. Does this actually mean a "Robocop 4" is coming?
Bloody Disgusting reports:

This is pretty sweet news. I'm glad it's not a remake and it's actually another sequel!
Since Indiana Jones and Rambo returns were such a hit, why not bring back Peter Weller as Robocop? That be fuckin' sweet!

Scientists weigh the balance of matter in galaxy clusters
A method of weighing the quantities of matter in galaxy clusters – the largest objects in our universe – has shown a balance between the amounts of hot gas, stars and other materials.
The results are the first to use observational data to measure this balance, which was theorized 20 years ago, and will yield fresh insight into the relationship between ordinary matter that emits light and dark matter, and about how our universe is expanding.
Galaxy clusters are the largest objects in the universe, each composed of around 1,000 massive galaxies. They contain vast amounts of dark matter, along with hot gas and cooler "ordinary matter", such as stars and cooler gas.
In a new study, published in Nature Communications, an international team led by astrophysicists from the University of Michigan and the University of Birmingham used data from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS) to measure the connections between the three main mass components that comprise galaxy clusters – dark matter, hot gas, and stars.
Members of the research team had spent 12 years gathering data using the Chandra and XMM-Newton satellites, the ROSAT All-sky survey, Subaru telescope, United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), Mayall telecope, the Sunyaev Zeldovich Array, and the Planck satellite. Using sophisticated statistical models and algorithms built by Arya Farahi during his doctoral studies at the University of Michigan the team was able to conclude that the sum of gas and stars across the clusters that they studied is a nearly fixed fraction of the dark matter mass. This means that as stars form, the amount of hot gas available will decrease proportionally.
"These measurements are laying a foundation for precise science with clusters of galaxies," says Professor Alexis Finoguenov, a member of the team based at the University of Helsinki.
"This validates the predictions of the prevailing cold dark matter theory. Everything is consistent with our current understanding of the universe," said Arya Farahi, currently a McWilliams Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University.
Dr Graham Smith of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham, and Principal Investigator of LoCuSS, says: "A certain amount of material within the universe collapses to form galaxy clusters. But once they are formed, these clusters are 'closed boxes'. The hot gas has either formed stars, or still remains as gas, but the overall quantity remains constant".
"This research is powered by more than a decade of telescope investments," adds Professor August E. Evrard, of the University of Michigan. "Using this high quality data, we were able to characterise 41 nearby galaxy clusters and find a special relationship, specifically anti-correlated behaviour between the mass in stars and the mass in hot gas. This is significant because these two measurements together give us the best indication of the total system mass."
The findings will be crucial to astronomers' efforts to measure the properties of the universe as a whole. By gaining a better understanding of the internal physics of galaxy clusters, researchers will be able to better understand the behaviour of dark energy and the processes behind the expansion of the universe.
"Galaxy clusters are intrinsically fascinating, but in many ways still mysterious objects," adds Dr Smith." Unpicking the complex astrophysics governing these objects will open many doors onto a broader understanding of the universe. Essentially, if we want to be able to claim that we understand how the universe works, we need to understand galaxy clusters."
Data of the kind studied by the team will grow by several orders of magnitude over the coming decades thanks to next-generation telescopes such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) which is currently under construction in Chile, and e-ROSITA, a new x-ray satellite. Both will begin observations in the early 2020s.

A number of senior officials in Congress and the Pentagon are saying the United States should consider withdrawing military forces from Saudi Arabia because of frustration over what they consider the kingdom's tepid support for the war on terrorism and the restrictions it places on American military operations.
Other prominent Congressional Saudi critics identified by the article include Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO), and to a lesser degree Rep. Porter Goss (R-FL). A credible alternative to the Prince Sultan airfield would probably do wonders for Saudi Arabia's attitude on investigations in that country, and cooperation with anti-terror campaigns elsewhere.

He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three minas of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with refined gold. There were six steps to the throne and a round top to the throne at its rear, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. Under it were figures of gourds, for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. Its thickness was a handbreadth. And its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held 3,000 baths. ... Goodnews Art
In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him. Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. And the king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream." Then the Chaldeans said to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation." The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "The word from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins. ...

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. Christian Wall Art
It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, a man's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around. From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds. Bible Art
A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. ... Goodnews Art
He also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on the top of each was five cubits. He made chains in the inner sanctuary and placed them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates and placed them on the chains. He erected the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and the other on the left, and named the one on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz. Goodnews Art
He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
"You shall make an altar on which to burn incense; you shall make it of acacia wood. A cubit shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth. It shall be square, and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it. You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and around its sides and its horns. And you shall make a molding of gold around it. And you shall make two golden rings for it. Under its molding on two opposite sides of it you shall make them, and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it. You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. ... Goodnews Art
Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work. He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.read more. Goodnews Art

Jacob lived in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. ... Christian Wall Art
