![]() tame animals to be pets and ride some of them.Anyone else – well, you don’t need to read this, you know how fun it is! I’m writing this for people who have not yet picked it up or are just starting. Cube World is bright (not too bright) and expansive and fast, with no muddled textures. I also had problems with the controls (my fault) and I was very impatient with the building mechanics. My humble opinion: I tried my hand at Minecraft a few years ago and I didn’t get into it because of the dark color palette and textures. I know there are the inevitable comparisons to Minecraft. I look stuff up on its wiki page and make plans. And I think about it when I’m not playing. Well actually, I can only play at my Special Someone’s place, but he really has to tear me away sometimes. I loves it! I started playing Cube World around May 2013, and much like Patricia Hernandez at Kotaku, I can’t stop playing it. ![]() Now, TASAI staff can inform the stakeholders in the delivery system, he added.I love this game. “We wanted to develop a simple diagnostic tool,” he said. ![]() “The system is only as strong as its weakest link,” Mabaya said.Īccountability also is addressed by the index, since at “almost every node there is a responsible person to develop remedies” for failings at that point, said Mabaya.Ĭornell’s role is key to the process as it provides a credible and neutral broker of information, without competing interests, Mabaya said. In South Africa, on the other hand, while the government no longer runs seed businesses, the country scored poorly at making seeds available to small farmers. For each indicator, the index evaluated whether that link is having a positive or negative impact on seed access by farmers, thereby exposing weaknesses in the supply chain.įor example, the pilot program revealed that Kenya lacks a robust and competitive seed industry, as government-controlled seed companies dominate and discourage new startups. TASAI tracks 16 indicators across five categories that assess the vibrancy and competitiveness of national seed sectors by measuring such things as research and development, industry competitiveness, service to smallholder farmers, seed policy and regulations, and institutional support. With breeders, governments, industry, NGOs, farmers and others involved in a complex supply chain, there has been no viable system – until now – for getting a top-down view of where choke points stifle seed access. Based on enthusiastic interest from stakeholders, TASAI developers hope to expand to more than 20 African countries in phase two of the project, Mabaya said. The launch event included results from a successful pilot program conducted in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa and Zimbabwe. “It’s the only option for millions of small farmers,” who account for up to 70 percent of African workers, he added. Like many others, his family’s path out of poverty was dependent on having access to improved seed varieties coming into the market, he said. Mabaya, one of 10 children in his family, grew up on farm with less than 2 hectares (5 acres) of land. “I am a product of smallholder agriculture in Zimbabwe,” said Ed Mabaya, principal investigator of TASAI and assistant director of CIIFAD. African farmers’ adoption rate of improved staple varieties, such as maize, cowpea and sorghum, can be as low as 20 percent. The findings may then inform governments, industries, breeders, farmers and others on where to focus attention to keep supplies moving. The African Seed Access Index (TASAI) was launched March 12 in Nairobi, Kenya, by its developers – the Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development (CIIFAD) in collaboration with Market Matters, a nonprofit organization that assists small enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa.ĬIIFAD and Market Matters staff developed TASAI to track indicators at key points along the seed delivery chain where failure impedes the flow of seeds to small-farm owners. Ed Mabaya, principal investigator of TASAI and assistant director of CIIFAD, at the TASAI launch in Nairobi, Kenya, on March 12.Ī new initiative offers hope for African small farms by helping ensure that new seed varieties with higher yields make it through the supply chain from breeders to farmers.

![]() ![]() Realizing the blunder, in 1990, the airline raised the price of an unlimited AAirpass (with a companion) to 600,000. For me, the significant loss of flexibility (only being able to fly with the airline Gol and not with Latam and Azul) was not worth the 20%. In fact, Bridget Cade, an American Airlines employee tasked with abuse and fraud investigation, calculated that Rothstein and Vroom (and other travelers like them) were costing the airline more than 1 million a year. So, the "airpass" was around 20% cheaper at most (due to the luggage maybe even less). However, it was not clear from the offer, whether the 800 US$ included the fee for the luggage (23 kg) or whether there would be something on top. Therefore, I cannot tell what would have happend next.Įdit based on comment: The price offered by brol was around 800 US$, compared to 1'000 US$ for booking individual flights. Since the price offered for Gol was not attractive enough compared to booking individual flights, I did not take the offer. I recieved no details for Azul and concerning my additional questions.

While this episode was not the quantum leap forward all other episodes were judged, it showed us what this cartoon was capable of in its best days. Even though we had a feeling there would be a big payoff coming in the final frames, we were still left completely awestruck. What makes “Band Geeks” the signature episode of SpongeBob SquarePants is it took us to a place we didn’t know the cartoon could go. This is their “Final Countdown.” Who needs Europe? Frankly, if you try to tell 20-somethings otherwise, they’d argue with you to the death. Who knew pairing SpongeBob SquarePants with a David Glen Eisley song would give us the greatest moment for both parties? It was such a triumphant success for all involved that people thought this song was written exclusively for SpongeBob. As Squilliam fainted, Squidward celebrated in “Sweet, Sweet Victory, yeah!” Patrick never accomplished more in his life than on his methodical drum fills on the electric set. Plankton’s precision on the keyboard laid the foundation for SpongeBob to shine through on vocals. It was “Sweet Victory” for Squidward, SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom with an epic ’80s arena rock anthem oozing out all the cheese. Or so he thought…Īs the hastily assembled Bikini Bottom Super Band ascends to the heavens, or to what looks like the Liberty Bowl to perform at halftime of a Memphis Showboats game, Squidward and Squilliam are blown away with 90 seconds of musical glory. ![]() Over-stricken with insurmountable shame, Squidward tells Squilliam all of his band members died in a marching accident. The amount of pleasure he’d take in watching this certain fiery car crash of epic proportions could not be denied. On the day of the Bubble Bowl, the previously preoccupied Squilliam shows up to watch his rival fail. Patrick even has the audacity to ask if mayonnaise is an instrument. Plankton is too small to play his harmonica solo, always running out of breath between notes. As expected, marching band practice goes horribly. Puff, and Plankton display no musical talent whatsoever. ![]() Of course, characters such as SpongeBob, Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, Mrs. Squidward the proceeds to form his own marching band with various characters from the show in a witless attempt to best his rival. He wants to make his high school nemesis look like a fool in a major setting. Squilliam, being incredibly petty, knows this. Squidward accepts Squilliam’s offer to have his band ready to play at the Bubble Bowl, even though he doesn’t have a band. He tells Squidward his marching band can no longer perform at the Bubble Bowl due to a prior engagement and would like to extend an invitation for Squidward’s band to play instead. Squilliam achieved everything Squidward could have ever wanted and then some. “Band Geeks” begins with Squidward receiving a phone call from his high school rival, Squilliam Fancyson. We owe a lot of the episode’s smashing success to Squidward Tentacles’ ongoing failure in denial conundrum. 7, 2001, was the day the cartoon proved to us it could be iconic, it could have staying power and its episodes could be timeless. Sure, it was going to hit at some point, but Sept. SpongeBob was in the next wave of Nicktoons targeting younger millennials and the earliest of Gen Z. It was a just another funny Nickelodeon cartoon, but hadn’t hit that sweet spot like Doug, Rugrats or Hey Arnold! did in the 1990s. The cartoon centered around anthropomorphic sea creatures who lived underwater in fictitious Bikini Bottom had an interesting premise but hadn’t really cut through prior to episode No. SpongeBob SquarePants achieved “Sweet Victory” early in its run and never looked back. With “Band Geeks” the cartoon tasted, “Sweet Victory”, yeah! It didn’t take long, but SpongeBob SquarePants gave us its greatest episode in Season 2. ![]() According to RNZ, "For now, the RNZI brand will continue to be maintained on-air through our international service, but domestically it is now known as RNZ Pacific. In May 2017 Radio New Zealand International's (RNZI) online brand was changed to RNZ Pacific to more clearly reflect what the service does and emphasise its role in engaging with the domestic Pasifika audience in New Zealand.

In 1998 and again in 2000 RNZI won a Commonwealth Broadcasting Association's Rolls-Royce Award for Excellence.

It briefly closed before reopening in 1976, under the foreign policy of the third Labour government.įrom 1987, the Government faced growing pressure to have a more active foreign policy towards the Pacific region. It utilised two 7.5 kW transmitters at Titahi Bay which had been left behind by the US military during World War II. RNZ International was launched in 1948 as Radio New Zealand, a subsidiary of what was then the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation. RNZI originally broadcast from Titahi Bay. The signal can also be heard in East and Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. The station targets Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, the Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Tonga during a 24-hour rotation. Its broadcasts cover from East Timor in the west across to French Polynesia in the east, covering all South Pacific countries in between. It has studios in Radio New Zealand House, Wellington and a transmitter at Rangitaiki in the middle of the North Island. The station's mission statement requires it to promote and reflect New Zealand in the Pacific, and better relations between New Zealand and Pacific countries.Īs the only shortwave radio station in New Zealand, RNZ Pacific broadcasts to several island nations.
