All damage was repaired by November 2006. The Harwich lifeboat stood by the Roughs Tower until a local fire tug extinguished the fire. A Royal Air Force rescue helicopter transferred one person to Ipswich Hospital, directly from the tower. On the afternoon of 23 June 2006, the top platform of the Roughs Tower caught fire due to an electrical fault. In 2015, Bates asserted that Sealand's population is "normally like two people". Michael Bates stated in late 2016 that Sealand was receiving hundreds of applications for passports every day. They were reported to have sold 4,000 fake Sealandic passports to Hong Kong citizens for an estimated $1,000 each. The ringleaders of the operation, based in Madrid but with ties to various groups in Germany, including the rebel Sealand Government in exile established by Achenbach after the attempted 1978 coup, had used fake Sealandic diplomatic passports and number plates. In 1997, the Bates family revoked all Sealand passports, including those that they themselves had issued over the previous 22 years, due to the realisation that an international money laundering ring had appeared, using the sale of fake Sealand passports to finance drug trafficking and money laundering from Russia and Iraq. Sealand sells " fantasy passports" (as termed by the Council of the European Union), which are not valid for international travel. Sealand now sits in waters internationally recognised as British. In 1987, the United Kingdom extended its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles. įollowing the former's repatriation, Achenbach and Gernot Pütz proclaimed a government in exile, sometimes known as the Sealand Rebel Government or Sealandic Rebel Government, in Germany. Roy Bates relented after several weeks of negotiations and subsequently claimed that the diplomat's visit constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany. Germany then sent a diplomat from its London embassy to Sealand to negotiate for Achenbach's release. Achenbach, a German lawyer who held a Sealand passport, was charged with treason against Sealand, and was held unless he paid DM 75,000 (more than US$35,000 or £23,000). Michael was able to retake Sealand and capture Achenbach and the mercenaries using weapons stashed on the platform. They stormed the platform with speedboats, personal watercrafts and helicopters, and took Bates's son Michael hostage. Achenbach had disagreed with Bates over plans to turn Sealand into a luxury hotel and casino with fellow German and Dutch businessmen. In August 1978, Alexander Achenbach, who described himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to lead an attack on Sealand while Bates and his wife were in Austria invited by Achenbach to discuss the sale of Sealand. 1978 attack and Sealand Rebel Government In 1975, Bates introduced a constitution for Sealand, followed by a national flag, a national anthem, a currency and passports. But as the court ruled that the platform (which Bates was now calling "Sealand") was outside British territorial limits, being beyond the then 3-nautical-mile (6 km) limit of the country's waters, the case could not proceed. As Bates was a British subject at the time, he was summoned to court in England on firearms charges following the incident. Michael Bates (son of Paddy Roy Bates) tried to scare the workmen off by firing warning shots from the former fort. In 1968, British workmen entered what Bates claimed to be his territorial waters to service a navigational buoy near the platform. Bates declared the independence of Roughs Tower and deemed it the Principality of Sealand. Despite having the necessary equipment, he never began broadcasting. Bates intended to broadcast his pirate radio station – called Radio Essex – from the platform. On 2 September 1967, the fort was occupied by Major Paddy Roy Bates, a British citizen and pirate radio broadcaster, who ejected the competing group of pirate broadcasters. Roughs Tower was occupied in February and August 1965 by Jack Moore and his daughter Jane, squatting on behalf of the pirate station Wonderful Radio London. ![]() ![]() ![]() I will continue to post progress on here in the coming days. Especially if you work with the public, you'll get alot of questions as to why it looks like your face is burning off. If you are working and need time off, I'd definitely say take at least 2 but preferably 3 days off. My skin is gradually getting more and more rough and textured as it prepares to peel and shed. Any sort of friction or even very very gently washing my face is uncomfortable. a heavy dose of physical sunscreen all day. My face is pretty uncomfortable and any sort of heat or the slightest bit of sun lights it on fire. I'd also like to highlight the post procedure down time. I know it may sounds like a sales pitch when you are being told this in the office, but it makes a difference in the long run. I dont think most understand how helpful it is pre and post care to the healing process and to get the results you want. I highly, highly recommend getting on a good, solid skin care regimen with DECENT effective products prior to committing to a laser procedure. Due to my skin being conditioned to the extent that is was the practitioner said I did not need a very aggressive laser treatment because the laser did not have to work through lasers of dead skin/build up. My skin was very conditioned prior to laser due to using reputable products, getting hydrafacials, chem peels, rx grade retinol. Typically, for specific correction you would want to commit to 2 treatment ts for superior results. The steel that sleeps the eye Needs nor tax nor toll The kings with men might lie Swollen and halo'd Her sweetest skin burns Now I've buried all the gold beneath my hide Now I'll swallow breath with blood Of pole and anchor Of stone and miter Of god and beast and Wine and fish and man The virgin ground stains Now we've wandered through the. Being that I did not need much correction, it was not recommended for me to do a treatment series of 2 halo lasers within a couple months. Expect to pay between 1200 on a low end and 2000 on high end. To give you even more perspective, I am from Ohio, and went to a med spa in Cleveland where the halo laser was similarly priced. Thus, the regular cost of halo is 1600$ if you did not want package. When I decided to do the laser I purchased a package from them where you pay 2k up front and get 15% off any services you get with that 2k. I got it done at Marina plastic surgery in LA and I paid about $1350 or so. This will help with collagen production and creating new, youthful skin from the micro wounds created with laser. The Halo laser also assists in resurfacing due to the ablative nature. Rather, I did this for prevention measures to remove the little pigmentation I started to get on high points of my face (cheek bones slightly below and lateral to eyes, nose, upper lip, and a little in chin area). I just turned 28 so I did not have that much correction needed, if any at all. Halo is a hybrid laser with both ablative (removes/vaporizes via heat layer(s) of skin) and non ablative (not actually removing skin, lower in wavelength) technology. Hi!

Third, I introduce retrogaming culture by discussing in greater detail exactly how retro games are being represented and taken up in popular culture, emphasizing points of division between their marketing by the industry and critical and popular reception by audiences. Second, I touch on scholarship in the field of game studies, scholarship that offers a variety of methodological approaches to this topic. The essay will proceed in four stages, beginning with a discussion of what it means to study retrogaming from the critical perspectives available to scholars of collective memory here I briefly highlight the similarities and differences between studying games and studying other memory artifacts. The rhetoric that emerges from this back and forth can help us understand not only how gaming history is being created but also how the contestation of public memory constructs authority and identity. The construction of this history is often marked by contentious discourse that pits the “official” narratives of video game history offered by game publishers against the “vernacular” histories found in retrogaming communities. More specifically, this essay investigates how the current discourses surrounding retrogaming practices function to shape a collective memory of video gaming history. This essay examines this trend and makes an argument as to its significance for contemporary gamers. This coverage has included sections for retro games in existing media (such as print magazines Game Informer or the website IGN.com) as well as the development of new content (such as the monthly Retro Gamer magazine, website Hardcore Gaming 101, or G4’s television show Icons). This deluge of releases has also seen a corresponding rise of print and electronic media devoted to covering retro games to meet the growing market demand. Titles have included developer compilations, such as the Sega Genesis Collection, EA Replay, Activision Hits, Intellivision Lives!, Taito Legends, and Atari Classics series specific titles, such as the Dracula X Chronicles, The Sonic Mega Collection, The Gradius Collection, and the Metal Slug Anthology and new titles that provide twists on original games, such as New Super Mario Brothers or the Sega Classics Collection. In the past seven years, game developers have released numerous titles that repackage, reimagine, or group together older games. The success of these services, which make available what are often referred to as “retro games,” has coincided with what seems to be a larger and growing interest by consumers for playing older video games. Microsoft and Sony also sell older games through similar models, with both companies seeing strong sales of games that were originally released for older home consoles or previously available only in gaming arcades ( 1). According to an interview from 2008 with Nintendo’s President and CEO Satoru Iwata, the service had sold over ten million downloads in just its first few months (Ogawa, 2008). In the years since the introduction of the service Nintendo has released over 350 games in their U.S. In late 2006, shortly after the launch of their Wii video game console, Nintendo introduced a library of downloadable games available through a service nicknamed the “Virtual Console.” This library consists entirely of games that were created for video game systems whose technologies are now considered outdated: Players can pay for, download, and play games for consoles that are no longer in production and are no longer supported by their manufacturers or game developers. ![]() “The double imperative derived from the obscuring of the future and the obscuring of the past makes remembering the distinguishing feature of our time.” (Pierre Nora) Highlighting the tensions between official and vernacular versions of gaming history, the essay goes on to suggest a rhetorical theory of nostalgia is needed to explain the ways in which retrogamers have negotiated their identity within and against the context facilitated by the gaming industry. After explaining the relevance of public memory scholarship for studying gaming culture in general, the essay provides a study of the discursive practices found within contemporary retrogaming culture. It argues that recent arguments about this history function to reshape the identities of retrogamers and retrogaming communities. This essay explores the success of retrogaming to show how new public memories about gaming history are being rhetorically constructed.

![]() “I shall be telling this with a sigh/ Somewhere ages and ages hence/Two roads diverged, in a wood, and I-/took the one less traveled by.” When he is older, he’ll exaggerate about the significant difference between the paths to make the story worthwhile. “And that makes all the difference.” (Frost505) a metaphor expressing the choices you make will define you. This subliminally teaches a person to have confidence in the choices made because if you don’t “you’ll sigh and had wished you had taken another.” (Spacey) Sometimes there’s no way of determining which is the better route. It can be read as a moment of hesitation. The poet doesnt know where to go, but roads are probably life paths and not only simple. As do many adults often wonder about the what if’s and fantasize about what could have been’s but are left to face the reality of what it truly is. The Road Not Taken 1 'Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by.' See in text (The Road Not Taken) The repetition of I, accentuated by the long dash and the line break, serves two purposes. This poem is about a very difficult choice beetween two roads. “Oh, I kept the first for another day!/ Yet knowing how way leads on to way./ I doubted if I should ever come back.” (Frost505) A metaphor the shows the uncertainty behind the path he has chosen to take but he’s made his choice and can’t take it back. “because it was grassy and wanted wear / Though as for that the passing there/ Had worn them really about the same,” (Frost504) this is where he realizes different people benefit under different circumstances and whatever path he may decide to take needs to be the most purposeful to his journey. A metaphor for choice, hesitant on which path to choose, the man explores his options trying to base his decision on which path looks the most pleasing.

In this case, adding subtitles to the video is more important. On some social media platforms like Facebook, the audio is turned off by default on the News Feed. What’s more, the subtitles have to be perfectly synced with the video and the audio, as subtitle delays can cause a great deal of confusion. Creating subtitles for videos manually is a process that becomes increasingly more difficult as the duration of a video gets longer because you have to transcribe each and every word in that video. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Much imitated (along with the voice-over that takes us through the film), these "Bressonian" motifs seem to be self-conscious reactions against the excess of French soundtrack giants such as Joseph Kosma, Georges Van Parys or Roger Désormière. Even the brief musical interventions, French baroque by Lully – they provide a kind of ersatz emotion to the sequences in which they appear – feel more like an imposed feature than an expression of the characters’ inner drama. I am left with the suspicion that form, in this case carefully thought-out rather than growing organically from the emotional heart of the story, may impress by its rigour but make the films oddly unengaging. Such an exercise in style is central to the film’s appeal and reputation, and yet, as with other Bresson films – stripped as they are of the engaging tropes of narrative cinema – I personally find the austerity unappealing. That Michel should not show the flicker of a smile throughout is an essential feature of a film that avoids the display of affect, the mainstay of mainstream cinema, from first to last frame. So much so that he shows little interest in his ageing mother, and has to be coaxed by Jeanne (the Swedish actress Marika Green), the young woman who looks after her. ![]() He seems to be almost totally devoid of emotion – or at least knows how to hide it. Michel is a master of impassivity, and a model of cool. There is indeed – as with much of Bresson – an underlying connection with Catholicism. Like Raskolnikov in the Russian 19 th century classic, Michel is tormented by reflections on the nature of crime and guilt. The script, the first to be written by Bresson himself, owes much to Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment. The film always looks great, with cinematography by Léonce-Henri Burel. Much is played out in the close quarters of the metro. There are beautifully shot and edited sequences that demonstrate the fine dexterity and cliff-hanging risk of slipping a hand delicately in and out a pocket or a bag, and lifting the wallet or cash from mostly unsuspecting victims. Michel, played by the non-professional Martin LaSalle, is the thief who learns the tricks of his trade from a gang of professionals, and plays through the film a game of cat and mouse with the police. ![]() |
