![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to the single-player game, there's an alternating two player mode, and a training mode with unlimited lives and access to any of the levels, plus a level editor. The ultimate level results in a seemingly impassible landscape, however due to a bug if the player accelerates into it, they can get through but the game crashes shortly after. After all levels are finished, the ship goes back through reversed levels. After four levels there is a short fifth level where a base needs to be destroyed by dropping a bomb precisely, and then there is a firework animation as a reward. The levels flow seamlessly into each other, signified by screen colour changes. The missiles are now sometimes replaced with skulls that can move up and down, blocking the path. From the second level onward, the game is inside increasingly complex caverns, so the ceiling is also a danger, as well as new enemies. The first level is in open air, with just mountains to dodge, missiles which try to hit the ship, and animated radars. ![]() Levels scroll from right to left, with a line representing the ground. In Penetrator, the player flies a ship which can shoot forward and drop bombs. Penetrator was ported to the TRS-80 and Commodore 64. The game is a clone of Konami's 1981 Scramble arcade game. Penetrator is a 1982 ZX Spectrum video game made by Melbourne House programmers Philip Mitchell and Veronika Megler. ![]()

![]() ![]() Now in a paperback edition featuring an excerpt from Celine Kiernan’s final entry in the Wild Magic Trilogy, The Little Grey Girl reveals a timely and essential truth: that dismantling oppression means honoring the pains of the past, and perhaps the most potent magic of all is encouraging joy and hope wherever possible. But when an enchanted snow cuts the castle off from the rest of the kingdom, and a powerful ghost gives form to the painful memories of the old queen’s victims, it may be too much for even Mup and Mam to handle. While Mup’s mam tries to restore balance to a formerly oppressed world, Mup tries to settle into her strange new home with her dad, Tipper, and Crow. But the queen’s legacy lingers in the fear and mistrust of her former subjects and in the memories that live in the castle’s very walls. The old queen and her raggedy witches have fled Witches Borough, and Mup’s family has moved into the cold, newly empty castle. ![]() The Little Grey Girl (The Wild Magic Trilogy, Book Two) ![]() ![]() Peterson is a clinical psychologist and author who has written extensively on personal development and self-improvement.

She was as taut as a bowstring, and her expression was a mixture of pain and intense pleasure. He glanced up to see her eyes wide and almost frightened. She shook uncontrollably, the muscles in her legs jumping and spasming as he continued to lavish attention on her woman’s flesh. He ran his tongue over her entrance and upward until he lapped at the little nub of flesh above her opening. Lowering his head, he nuzzled through the warm, moist flesh and tasted the essence of her femininity. He was determined to change all of that tonight. Her needs and wants had never been considered. ![]() She’d been used as a vessel for the pleasure of others. He doubted any man had ever given a care for her pleasure. ![]() As soon as he touched her, she jerked and let out a sharp cry. Lie back and let me love you.” He slid his fingers over the silken folds and found the taut nub of her woman’s pleasure. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. He also created a cartoon called Gerald McBoing-Boing which also won him an Oscar. Captain Geisel would write for Frank Capra's Signal Corps Unit (for which he won the Legion of Merit) and do documentaries (he won Oscar's for Hitler Lives and Design for Death). Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success.ĭuring World War II, Geisel joined the army and was sent to Hollywood. In 1936 on the way to a vacation in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. This association lasted 17 years, gained him national exposure, and coined the catchphrase "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" These references gained notice, and led to a contract to draw comic ads for Flit. In some of his works, he'd made reference to an insecticide called Flit. Additionally, he was submitting cartoons to Life, Vanity Fair and Liberty. He returned from Europe in 1927, and began working for a magazine called Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at the time, submitting both cartoons and humorous articles for them. At Oxford he met Helen Palmer, who he wed in 1927. He graduated Dartmouth College in 1925, and proceeded on to Oxford University with the intent of acquiring a doctorate in literature. Theodor Seuss Geisel was born 2 March 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. ![]() ![]() When Peter was tasked with managing a forest, he did it in a truly environmentally friendly way - even though he didn’t have permission to work that way. The forest was exactly as it should be, he says. ![]() ![]() After 30 years of travels, he visited a virgin forest in Europe, a beech forest in Romania. He found forests that were managed in a more environmentally friendly way, and he began talking to scientists. Peter began to travel around in search of alternatives. “As a trained forester, I thought, ‘Yeah, that’s how it has to be,’” he recalls. Foresters are taught that younger forests are better and more productive. ![]() Lay people instinctively know that it is not OK, he says, while foresters were trained to believe that felling old trees is important for the environment. He says it’s fascinating to see a tree falling down, but also noisy and sad. One of Peter’s first jobs as a forester was to fell old beech trees. He points to the Amazon rainforest, which thrives with no human intervention. ![]() But he rejected the idea that forest management is necessary. Peter realized that many German forestry students and even politicians believe that if foresters do not thin trees with chainsaws and then re-plant, a forest will die. Forester and author Peter Wohlleben authored “The Hidden Life of Trees” and, more recently, “The Heartbeat of Trees.” (Courtesy of Paul Wohlleben) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Almond is a sympathetic narrator, his evidence incontrovertible, the moral authority firmly on his side." “Steve Almond's blistering book Against Football: One Fan's Reluctant Manifesto is exactly what it advertises itself to be: an exasperated, frustrated, wide-ranging argument that the time has come to abandon football - particularly but not exclusively the NFL - as a sport built on violence, racism, economic exploitation of poor kids, corrupt dealmaking with local governments over stadiums, and a willingness to find it entertaining to watch people suffer brain damage." “An unapologetic, frontal assault on the game's role in American culture." And every once in a while, he’ll blindside you with a big hit." “Almond is a shifty cornerback of a writer: rangy, sarcastic, offbeat. “ is a very good writer, and his analysis of problems confronting the game today is well done." “Almond is dead serious: Supporting a spectacle that causes brain damage is immoral." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My hope is that we continue to keep her memory alive by celebrating her amazing body of work, and by spreading the message of peace and equality amongst all people. I knew I had big shoes to fill when I was chosen to play Uhura, and Nichelle made me feel safe, told me to play her with all the confidence in the world. I mean she inspired Mae Jemison to follow her dreams of becoming an astronaut and that’s exactly what Mae did. She convinced me in believing that anything was achievable, if you put your heart into it. Her energy was infectious every time I was in her presence. Meeting Nichelle was truly a very special moment in my life. The Guardians of the Galaxy star opened up about how Nichols helped her cope with taking on the iconic role during their first meeting. Saldaña penned a moving message pointing out the influence the late actress had not only on television, but on pop culture at large. The Star Trek actress finally broke her silence this week by paying tribute to Nichols through her Instagram Stories. ![]() |
