MEGA MAN 3 Dr. Willy's Stage Metal Version With Awesome Guitar By Pete Metropoulos - Rocktropolis
Mega Man 3, known as Rockman 3 Dr. Wily no Saigo!? (ロックマン3 Dr.ワイリーの最期!? Rokkuman Surī Dokutā Wairī no Saigo!??, lit. "Rockman 3: The End of Dr. Wily!?") in Japan, is a video game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the third game of the original Mega Man series and was originally released in Japan on September 28, 1990. The game localized in North America later in 1990 and in European regions in 1992. Taking place after the events of Mega Man 2, the plot follows the titular hero as he helps his creator, Dr. Light, and a former villain, Dr. Wily, collect parts for a peace-keeping robot by defeating several Robot Masters that have gone haywire.
A platform-action game, Mega Man 3 follows the same format set forth by its two predecessors. The player, as Mega Man, must complete a series of stages in any order. Defeating a stage's boss will earn the player its special weapon, which can be selected and used at will throughout the rest of the game. Mega Man 3 introduces new gameplay elements such as Mega Man's canine sidekick Rush and the ability to slide along the ground. Unlike with the first two installments of the series, artist and designer Keiji Inafune has considered the creation of Mega Man 3 to be very stressful due to time constraints and his own increased responsibilities during its development.
Following the success of Mega Man 2 released two years earlier, Mega Man 3 has sold over one million copies and has been positively received in critical reviews. Its presentation and gameplay has been especially praised, although many sources found the game to be too difficult. Like other titles in the series, Mega Man 3 has been re-released several times on other gaming platforms, on mobile phones, and as part of various Mega Man franchise compilations.
Mega Man 3 takes place during an unspecified year during the 21st century (200X). The mad scientist Dr. Wily, having twice had plans for world domination dashed, claims to have reformed and begins work with Dr. Light on a project to build a peace-keeping robot named "Gamma".[15] Robot Masters in charge of a set of "mining worlds", however, go berserk and make off with Gamma's eight power crystals.[16] Mega Man is called into action, this time with a canine companion named Rush, to retrieve the crystals from the sites.[17] Throughout his mission, the protagonist continuously encounters and spars with Break Man, a masked foe who has abilities comparable to Mega Man's own.[15] After Mega Man destroys the eight Robot Masters, he must then revisit four of the mining sites to face off against eight "Doc Robots", who possess the abilities of the Robot Masters from Mega Man's most recent mission. Once the crystals are retrieved, Wily reverts to his evil ways, steals Gamma, and retreats to his new fortress. To stop Wily's newest plan to conquer the world, Mega Man destroys Gamma and defeats Wily in a final confrontation. As the fortress begins to crumble, Break Man appears in enough time to save Mega Man, but is too late to save Wily, who is seen being crushed under the rubble. When Mega Man regains consciousness in Dr. Light's lab, his creator informs him that he must have been rescued by Proto Man, Mega Man's brother.[18][19]

The great egret (Ardea alba), also known as the common egret, large egret or (in the Old World) great white heron,[2][3][4] is a large, widely distributed egret, with four subspecies found in Asia, Africa, America, and Europe. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe it is rather localized but more widely distributed in North America. It builds tree nests in colonies close to water.
Like all egrets, it is a member of the heron family, Ardeidae. Traditionally classified with the storks in the Ciconiiformes, the Ardeidae are closer relatives of pelicans and belong in the Pelecaniformes instead. The great egret—unlike the typical egrets—does not belong to the genus Egretta but together with the great herons is today placed in Ardea. In the past, however, it was sometimes placed in Egretta or separated in a monotypic genus Casmerodius.
The Old World population is often referred to as the great white egret. This species is sometimes confused with the great white heron of the Caribbean, which is a white morph of the closely related great blue heron.
The scientific name comes from Latin ardea "heron", and alba, "white".[5]
Subspecies[edit]
There are four subspecies in various parts of the world, which differ but little.[6] Differences are bare part coloration in the breeding season and size; the largest A. a. modesta from Asia and Australasia some taxonomists consider a full species, the eastern great egret (Ardea modesta).
A. a. alba Linnaeus, 1758 – nominate, found in Europe
A. a. egretta Gmelin, JF, 1789 – found in Americas
A. a. melanorhynchos Wagler, 1827 – found in Africa
A. a. modesta Gray, JE, 1831 – eastern great egret, found in India, Southeast Asia, and Oceania
The great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Standing up to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall, this species can measure 80 to 104 cm (31 to 41 in) in length and have a wingspan of 131 to 170 cm (52 to 67 in).[7][8] Body mass can range from 700 to 1,500 g (1.5 to 3.3 lb), with an average of around 1,000 g (2.2 lb).[9] It is thus only slightly smaller than the great blue or grey heron (A. cinerea). Apart from size, the great egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet, though the bill may become darker and the lower legs lighter in the breeding season. In breeding plumage, delicate ornamental feathers are borne on the back. Males and females are identical in appearance; juveniles look like non-breeding adults. Differentiated from the intermediate egret (Mesophoyx intermedius) by the gape, which extends well beyond the back of the eye in case of the great egret, but ends just behind the eye in case of the intermediate egret.
It has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, ibises, and spoonbills, which extend their necks in flight. The great egret walks with its neck extended and wings held close. The great egret is not normally a vocal bird; it gives a low hoarse croak when disturbed, and at breeding colonies, it often gives a loud croaking cuk cuk cuk and higher-pitched squawks.[10]
The great egret is generally a very successful species with a large and expanding range, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics.[1] In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes could be used to decorate hats. Numbers have since recovered as a result of conservation measures. Its range has expanded as far north as southern Canada. However, in some parts of the southern United States, its numbers have declined due to habitat loss, particularly wetland degradation through drainage, grazing, clearing, burning, increased salinity, groundwater extraction and invasion by exotic plants. Nevertheless, the species adapts well to human habitation and can be readily seen near wetlands and bodies of water in urban and suburban areas.[1]
The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.[citation needed]
In 1953, the great egret in flight was chosen as the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part to prevent the killing of birds for their feathers.[11][12]
On 22 May 2012, it was announced a pair of great egrets were nesting in the UK for the first time at the Shapwick Heath nature reserve in Somerset.[13] The species is a rare visitor to the UK and Ben Aviss of the BBC stated that the news could mean the UK's first great egret colony is established.[13][14] The following week, Kevin Anderson of Natural England confirmed a great egret chick had hatched, making it a new breeding bird record for the UK.[15]
Chobe National Park, in northern Botswana, has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa. By size, it is the third largest park in the country, after the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Gemsbok National Park, and is the most biologically diverse. It is also Botswana's first national park.
The park can be divided up to 4 areas, each corresponding to one distinct ecosystem:
The Serondela area (or Chobe riverfront), situated in the extreme Northeast of the park, has as its main geographical features lush floodplains and dense woodland of mahogany, teak and other hardwoods now largely reduced by heavy elephant pressure. The Chobe River, which flows along the Northeast border of the park, is a major watering spot, especially in the dry season (May through October) for large breeding herds of elephants, as well as families of giraffe, sable and cape buffalo. The flood plains are the only place in Botswana where the puku antelope can be seen. Birding is also excellent here. Large numbers of carmine bee eaters are spotted in season. When in flood spoonbills, ibis, various species of stork, duck and other waterfowl flock to the area. This is likely Chobe's most visited section, in large part because of its proximity to the Victoria Falls. The town of Kasane, situated just downstream, is the most important town of the region and serves as the northern entrance to the park.
The Savuti Marsh area, 10,878 km2 large, constitutes the western stretch of the park (50 km north of Mababe Gate). The Savuti Marsh is the relic of a large inland lake whose water supply was cut a long time ago by tectonic movements. Nowadays the marsh is fed by the erratic Savuti Channel, which dries up for long periods then curiously flows again, a consequence of tectonic activity in the area. It is currently flowing again and in January 2010 reached Savuti Marsh for the first time since 1982. As a result of this variable flow, there are hundred of dead trees along the channel's bank. The region is also covered with extensive savannahs and rolling grasslands, which makes wildlife particularly dynamic in this section of the park. At dry seasons, tourists going on safari often view the warthog, kudu, impala, zebra, wildebeest and a herd of elephants bullying each other. At rain seasons, the rich birdlife of the park (450 species in the whole park) is well represented. Packs of lions, hyenas, zebras or more rarely cheetahs are visible as well. This region is indeed reputed for its annual migration of zebras and predators.
The Linyanti Marsh, located at the Northwest corner of the park and to the North of Savuti, is adjacent to Linyanti River. To the west of this area lies Selinda Reserve and on the northern bank of Kwando River is Namibia's Nkasa Rupara National Park. Around these 2 rivers are riverine woodlands, open woodlands as well as lagoons, and the rest of the region mainly consists of flood plains. There are here large concentrations of lion, leopard, African wild dog, roan antelope, sable antelope, a hippopotamus pod and enormous herds of elephants. The rarer red lechwe, sitatunga and a bask of crocodiles also occur in the area. Bird life is very rich here.
Between Linyanti and Savuti Marshes lies a hot and dry hinterland, mainly occupied by the Nogatsaa grass woodland. This section is little known and is a great place for spotting elands.
The original inhabitants of this area were the San bushmen (also known as the Basarwa people in Botswana). They were nomadic hunter-gatherers who were constantly moving from place to place to find food sources, namely fruits, water and wild animals. Nowadays one can find San paintings inside rocky hills of the park.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the region that would become Botswana was divided into different land tenure systems. At that time, a major part of the park's area was classified as crown land. The idea of a national park to protect the varied wildlife found here as well as promote tourism first appeared in 1931. The following year, 24,000 km2 around Chobe district were officially declared non-hunting area; this area was expanded to 31,600 km2 two years later.
In 1943, heavy tsetse infestations occurred throughout the region, delaying the creation of the national park. By 1953, the project received governmental attention again: 21,000 km2 were suggested to become a game reserve. The Chobe Game Reserve was officially created in 1960, though smaller than initially desired. In 1967, the reserve was declared a national park.
At that time there were several industrial settlements in the region, especially at Serondela, where the timber industry proliferated. These settlements were gradually moved out of the park, and it was not until 1975 that the whole protected area was exempt from human activity. Nowadays traces of the prior timber industry are still visible at Serondela.
Minor expansions of the park took place in 1980 and 1987.
The park is widely known for its spectacular elephant population: It contains an estimated 50,000 elephants, perhaps the highest elephant concentration of Africa, and part of the largest continuous surviving elephant population.[citation needed] The elephant population seems to have solidly built up since 1990, from a few thousand.
Elephants living here are Kalahari elephants, the largest in size of all known elephant populations. They are characterized by rather brittle ivory and short tusks, perhaps due to calcium deficiency in the soils.
Damage caused by the high numbers of elephants is rife in some areas. In fact,[1] concentration is so high throughout Chobe that culls have been considered, but are too controversial and have thus far been rejected.
At dry season, these elephants sojourn in Chobe River and the Linyanti River areas. At rain season, they make a 200-km migration to the southeast stretch of the park. Their distribution zone however outreaches the park and spreads to northwestern Zimbabwe.

Localized damage to a steam pipe with asbestos magnesia insulation. An adjacent pipe hanger rod in close proximity has cut into the soft, friable asbestos insulation due to vibrational movement associated with periodic expansion and contraction of the pipe system itself during normal operation. Consequently, asbestos-laden dust had accumulated on various surfaces below, requiring urgent response clean-up and repair action. Additionally, reconfiguration of the problematic pipe hanger should be considered as well, to prevent further damage.
Small Group Discussion: Localizing Agricultural Value Chains for Shared Prosperity
The world’s agricultural economy exceeds $2 trillion, yet much of the production, processing, and manufacturing for high value food products that could be energizing developing economies instead takes place in developed countries, reducing opportunities for local livelihood improvement and economic growth. Some companies have identified an opportunity to strengthen their own businesses and invest in local livelihoods by keeping high-value processing and manufacturing in the low-income countries where their agricultural products are sourced. Others are localizing their supply chains, ensuring that food products they sell within developing countries are made using locally sourced ingredients. These trends can empower smallholder farmers, strengthen small- and medium-sized enterprises, and mitigate the climate footprint resulting from the transportation of goods across the globe, while at the same time reducing companies’ sourcing and production costs. To ensure that localized supply chains and value chains can function sustainably, businesses must cultivate ecosystems that support this type of business environment and the human capital needed for growth and prosperity.
In this session, participants will:
• Explore the economic, environmental, and social opportunities that can be achieved through local value chains and the partnerships that can make these possible.
• Examine case studies of successful efforts to localize supply chains serving domestic markets and create value chains in low-income countries to serve global markets.

Necrotizing granulomas localized around an airway. This is a common finding since the tubercle bacilli enter the lung via the airways except in miliary tuberculosis where entry is via the blood vessels.

View of localized damage to corrugated-paper ("Air Cell") asbestos pipe insulation. Image also shows stitching of pipe insulation's canvas covering. Literally miles of the hand-stitched canvas pipe coverings were present in a vast network of tunnels and trenches; that's alot of sewing.
Although, it's assumed that the canvas coverings were probably received from the manufacturer as "pre-sewn sleeves" and then perhaps pulled over the sectional pipe insulation like a sock, then the stitches were pulled tight and finished.
The Owl of Athena was also used in this instance, as a localized navigation map of Greenland, the Avernus Basin, and Labrador, which coincides with other Greek, Egyptian, and Irish mythology images meant to safely guide travelers over land and sea . It was probably used in many other locations as well.
See also the Avernus image...
www.flickr.com/photos/10749411@N03/5249386712/in/photostr...
Not a surprise, but the eyes of the Owl image are also the eyes of Hades image of Eastern North America, shown earlier.
While many of my theories I am 110% sure of, I am only 95% sure of this idea.
The lines of the owl are too close, and the "google eyes" match too well, the Hades eyes mentioned earlier.
The ancient adage was "As Above" (in the celestial heavens), "So Below" (on Mother Earth), and "As Within" (the human body itself). For this reason, I am now strongly suggesting that the Owl Figure was one of many interpretations of the features found on the moon, as well as mirroring the geographic landscape on earth, and certainly being the anthropomorphic form of Athena, the Greek version of the Moon Goddess. I am certain that these ideas have been a million times repeated, and I am just the latest.
As the Avernus Basin flooded surrounding Greenland, and all habitats at lower levels were lost, a new map was needed to show the navigation around the multiple islands and channels from the Atlantic area towards the Arctic Ocean.
The ancient message to me is clear. Past this channel area, you are entering the realm of night and death, so beware! Do not cross this area or face danger.
It also strongly indicates that some form of ancient Northwest passage existed for ships, to "cross into the other ocean", meaning the Pacific, through these series of channels. All passageways appear to have been filled with sediment, and the transit points became useless.
From the website called, "The Owl Pages", I have the following wonderful quote...
"In the mythology of ancient Greece, Athene, the Goddess of Wisdom, was so impressed by the great eyes and solemn appearance of the Owl that, having banished the mischievous crow, she honoured the night bird by making him her favourite among feathered creatures. Athene's bird was a Little Owl, (Athene noctua)."
www.owlpages.com/articles.php?section=Owl+Mythology&t...
...and another wonderful quote from the same location...
"In Roman Mythology, Proserpine (Persephone) was transported to the underworld against her will by Pluto (Hades), god of the underworld, and was to be allowed to return to her mother Ceres (Demeter), goddess of agriculture, providing she ate nothing while in the underworld."
One last item, or two... If you look real close, there are two owl versions shown. The one depicted in the Greek coin has a slightly upright tail, the other has a "soft tail" flush down. The first one has eyes tweaked at about 20 degrees down from horizontal, the second one is horizontal with the Greenland overlay.
Here is what is even more amazing to me. The first Owl, "upright tail Greek coin version" ALSO overlays the portion of Greenland west of the original overlay towards Baffin Bay! The second Owl overlay image, which was used in the original overlay, has the tail figures transcending over the "Davis Strait" towards Labrador and "Leopold Island".
It is as if there was an early map version with head and body transcending towards Labrador across the "Davis Strait", and a later map version with an Owl body entirely in Greenland, and only the legs transcending towards Labrador! Amazing!
Side Notes: This also rings an etymology bell, in that Nashua, New Hampshire and Iowa, may both be named after Athene Noctua.
Anyways, I am only 95% certain on this theory, it makes explicit sense yet I can't be sure, and it will take true academics and scientists possibly 20 years to verify the navigation reasons for this image. I hope all enjoy the similarities.

Localized ossification is usually an incidental finding that may be dystrophic occurring in areas of fibrosis and/or necrosis. It may also be seen in otherwise normal appearing lung tissue.
I was surprised to see this ironwood tree in Joshua Tree National Park; didn't know they grow here. A nearby sign explained... They apparently grow just in this one location, on a bajada at the base of the mountains seen in the distance, because this area is warm enough and gets enough moisture to support the ironwood.
This area is called the Colorado Desert. It's not a part of the nearby Mojave Desert, but rather a small subdivision of the Sonoran Desert. While it does have some of the same plants and animals as the Sonoran, it lacks its signature plant, the saguaro.
Ironwood trees are fairly common in the Sonoran Desert to the west of Tucson, and there's even an area set aside where they're featured...Ironwood Forest National Monument, which is adjacent to Saguaro National Park's western district, and is administered by the BLM.
Seen on the Bajada Trail.

This map shows a measure of the precision of the localization of students and employees on EPFL campus. The red dots have a better precision than the blue dots.
The precision is the best in the Rolex Learning Center, and generally in the buildings. Outside the buildings (e.g., on the way to the Rolex Learning Center, along the Math building), localization is worse. In the center top of the picture, a line of blue dots looks like in the Civil engineering building but corresponds most probably to people waiting at EPFL metro stop, in the center top top of the picture.

Racism: The Elephant in the Room (or Park)
Seattle, Washington, August 17, 2015 - People are invited to participatein a public interactive art installation to expose racism as the"elephant in the room".
On Monday, August 17, 2015, from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm, at Westlake Parkin Seattle, the public is invited to join us in learning about racismand white privilege through visually rich, interactive art andengagement in positive dialog and seek skills for addressinginstitutional racism.
At 2 pm, the action moves from Westlake to the City Council chambers. There, activists will challenge City Council members to combatinstitutional racism by protecting Hookah Lounges, predominantly ownedby people of color and currently under attack. They will also call onthe Council to reject zoning that will permit the construction of anexpanded juvenile detention center, misleadingly called the "King CountyFamily and Children's Justice Center," stop the city-sponsoredgentrification of areas in the city that are home to people of color,and to end police brutality.
This interactive art exhibit and challenge to the City Council arecoming from a collection of activists who are from the Pacific Northwestand around the country that met at a Backbone Campaign's Localize This! Action Camp. As a group, we are predominantly white activists who are looking inwardsand reaching out to our peers to join us in this action. We arechallenging ourselves and others to move beyond denial and defensivenessto commit to taking one concrete step towards racial justice and toshare our challenge.

At 2 pm, the action moves from Westlake to the City Council chambers. There, activists will challenge City Council members to combatinstitutional racism by protecting Hookah Lounges, predominantly ownedby people of color and currently under attack. They will also call onthe Council to reject zoning that will permit the construction of anexpanded juvenile detention center, misleadingly called the "King CountyFamily and Children's Justice Center," stop the city-sponsoredgentrification of areas in the city that are home to people of color,and to end police brutality.
This interactive art exhibit and challenge to the City Council arecoming from a collection of activists who are from the Pacific Northwestand around the country that met at a Backbone Campaign's Localize This! Action Camp. As a group, we are predominantly white activists who are looking inwardsand reaching out to our peers to join us in this action. We arechallenging ourselves and others to move beyond denial and defensivenessto commit to taking one concrete step towards racial justice and toshare our challenge.

Necrotizing granulomas localized around an airway. This is a common finding since the tubercle bacilli enter the lung via the airways except in miliary tuberculosis where entry is via the blood vessels
This is a crazy one.
I can't remember when I first read about the Mandela Effect, but I do remember the Berenstain Bears one, because I remember my mom reading those books to us, and she pronounced it "Berensteen" (which is how some people pronounce "stein").
But she had not kept any of the books we had as children, so I was not able to personally verify anything. I just shrugged it off. But you keep reading stories of these kinds of things.
Now it's happened to our family, but ONLY our family, and I understand the effect a lot better now.
Here's what happened.
In our years-long quest to collect a good ensemble of G1-like Transformers, I had picked up the Power of the Primes Dinobots. They're OK, but they have this problem in that they were designed to be a combiner, forming Volcanicus. As a result, they're not that great. I have a picture of him somewhere in this stream.
Anyway, when Hasbro started re-releasing the Dinobots as part of the Studio Series, Zoe asked if we could get them because she loves the Dinobots. So I started collecting these ones. At some point in that journey, I got it in my head that Swoop was the last in the series, and I told Zoe, Victoria, and Caleb that multiple times. So when Swoop came out, I picked him up, gave him to Zoe, and she had all of them displayed in her room. At some point she moved them onto a shelf in the playroom.
Well, not too long ago I got a pre notice from Big Bad Toy Store for Studio Series Snarl. And I thought, "That's weird, he was already released. I wonder why they're re-releasing him." About a week later I was looking at the dinobots and noticed there was no Studio Series Snarl. So I got Zoe and we spent about a half hour looking all over the house for him. And we were both CERTAIN that we'd seen him either in her room, or in the playroom, or in some other place, but we could not find him. Caleb also was positive he'd seen him. Victoria was worried she might be the only sane one in the house.
After failing to find him, I started to think that maybe we'd created our own Mandela Effect. Fortunately, Big Bad Toy Store keeps a really long record of your orders. I was able to go back through and see all my orders from them back to the first TF I ever got from them. There was no Studio Series Snarl. We figure what must've happened is that Zoe displayed the old Power of the Primes Snarl with the new Studio Series, until she moved them into the playroom, at which point the old Snarl went to live with the other Dinobots in Caleb's room. And somehow I just got confused over the years and thought I'd already ordered him when clearly, that never happened.
Once we cleared that up, I put in an order for him, and he arrived today. So now, finally, we have the complete set of Dinobots.
I would love to document this as a case study, if anyone knows any Ph.D's studying the Mandela Effect. I mean we were as sure as sure could be that we had this funky piece of plastic. But it just wasn't so.
