To help sell the idea to Sega's higher-ups, Ohshima pitched the concept framed by a fictional fighter pilot that had earned the name "Hedgehog" due to his spiky hair, and had decorated his plane with images of Sonic. Sonic's blue pigmentation was chosen to match Sega's cobalt blue logo, and his shoes evolved from a design inspired by both Santa Claus and Michael Jackson's boots with the addition of the color red, which was inspired by the contrast of those colors on Jackson's 1987 album Bad his personality was based on then-presidential candidate and later President of the United States Bill Clinton's "Get it done" attitude during the 1992 presidential campaign. The detailed design of Sonic was aimed to be something that could be easily drawn by children and be familiar, as well as exhibit a "cool" attitude, representative of the United States at the time. On return to Japan, Ohshima pitched this to the department, and the hedgehog was ultimately selected as the new mascot. Ohshima felt that people selected it because it "transcends race and gender and things like that". Harinezumi ), led this informal poll, followed by Eggman and the dog character. Naoto Ohshima took some of these internal designs with him on a trip to New York City and sought feedback by asking random passersby at Central Park their opinions of the designs, the spiky teal hedgehog, initially codenamed "Mr. Many results came forth from their experiments with character design, including an armadillo, a dog, a Theodore Roosevelt look-alike in pajamas (who would later be the basis of Doctor Eggman's design), and a rabbit (who would use its extendable ears to collect objects, an aspect later incorporated in Ristar). While Sega was seeking a flagship series to compete with Nintendo's Mario series, several character designs were submitted by its research and development department. ![]() Origins and history Sonic's character designer Naoto Ohshima (left) with level designer Hirokazu Yasuhara at the 2018 Game Developers Conference. His series had sold more than 80 million copies by 2011. Sonic is one of the world's best-known video game characters and a gaming icon. Sonic was redesigned by Yuji Uekawa for Sonic Adventure (1998), with a more mature look designed to appeal to older players. Ohshima designed Sonic to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario and used the character to flesh out a prototype programmed by Naka. Sonic made a cameo appearance in the arcade game Rad Mobile (1990) before making his full debut in Sonic the Hedgehog, released for the Sega Genesis in 1991. He races through levels, collecting power-up rings and avoiding obstacles, as he seeks to defeat the mad scientist Doctor Eggman. ![]() The title character of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise, Sonic is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds and curl into a ball to attack enemies.

This article contains the Boxer growth calculator that you can use to predict your Boxer`s adult weight. One final reason to keep track of your Boxer`s weight and growth is that your Boxer`s weight and growth pattern can tell you if your Boxer has some underlying health conditions (such as bone, heart, hormone diseases). However, you can extend your dog`s life by making sure your dog is of healthy weight and growth. Research has also shown that one of the reasons many dogs die young is because they are overweight. Most dogs eat way too much and do not get enough exercise. It is important for you as a caring Boxer owner to know if your Boxer is growing normally and that your Boxer is not overweight or underweight.Įxtensive research studies have shown that most dogs are overweight because their owners spoil them with food, treats, and easy life styles. You can also work with a reputable rescue to adopt a puppy. Also, check out our Boxer buying guide and Boxer price guide here.

Download Ubuntu 13.04 VM from New VM Wizard.Nested virtualization support (Xen, KVM).Added support for popular distributions:.Regardless, here are the list of improved support for Linux as stated by Parallels. Unity menu and Ubuntu apps in different DesktopsĬan’t move out the Ubuntu apps by moving it over to the sides. Ubuntu applications detached into another desktop but menu bar still displays Ubuntu Desktop The Unity menu bar remains on the OS X desktop Unfortunately, I’m unable to test this in details since I only have an external monitor at home and does not use one at work. If you use multi-monitors a lot, Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac provides a better support for it, remembering your setup at different locations, presumably by remembering your setup per monitor. So for the less tech savvy users, this is a nice feature to have. ![]() Having said that, it does require you to know how to map network folders in Windows in the first place. You could actually also easily do this, albeit manually, on the previous versions of Parallels. You must download and install SkyDrive for the desktop in order for the feature to work. ![]() However, there is a known issue on the SkyDrive sharing as noted here in this knowledge base document. Sharing SkyDrive folders with Mac OS X is not directly supported with the preinstalled Windows 8 SkyDrive app. This essentially eliminates redundancy on both your Mac and Windows virtual machine if there’s a need to access those files on either end. ![]() Likewise on the opposite direction, you can share your Windows SkyDrive sync folder with the Mac. However, as cool as this may sound, it’s actually just Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac automatically mapping the Dropbox, iCloud and/or Google Drive folders on your Windows virtual machine. This feature allows you to simply have a single cloud sync folder between your Mac and the Windows guest. I’m not an OS X developer but looking at the HIDictionaryWindowShow function, it seems like it’s possible to do so. Secondly, notice that the Dictionary text selection is just a dash? The imperfection bothers me somehow, and I think Parallels could have made it do the Dictionary text selection look better, using the actual selected text and also using the same font, both of which can be extracted out from Windows APIs by the Parallels Tools and passed on over to OS X Dictionary Service. Not sure if the current OS X Dictionary Service allows for this. One, I would like this to be available not just in Coherence mode, but also when the virtual machine is running in Full Screen mode. Only after a while, I realised that this only works in Coherence mode! I usually run my Windows virtual machine in Full Screen mode these days, especially since Windows 8 and its funny full screen only Metro apps. As you can see in the screenshot above, it’s actually kinda cool to have Dictionary support across OS X and also the Windows applications as I’m slightly dyslexic and often need to look up the dictionary just confirm my spellings and its meaning.Īgain, the picky me as a couple of ‘not-quite-complains’ with this feature. However, I was initially stumped as to how to get it working. OS X dictionary gesture support on Windows applications! And since I’ve mentioned Oracle’s VirtualBox, I work for Oracle but not directly involved in the development of VirtualBox. Also, it’s important that I point out that I also owns my own copy of the latest version (as of today) of VMWare Fusion and regularly uses it for work, along with the free-to-use Oracle VirtualBox. But even so, I will strive to be as fair as possible as I’ve always been in my review and opinions, despite the fact that I’m quite the advocate of Parallels Desktop for Mac. A complimentary copy of Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac was provided to me by Parallels for this review. I’m quite certain you’d be convinced.īut before we go on, a disclaimer is appropriate. But do read on and also some of my previous articles here and see why I say so. However, if you’re not already an existing user of Parallels, well, you should be one of you own a Mac. So, if you already are an existing user of version 8 or below, hopefully this will help you determine if the latest version is worthy of the $49.99 upgrade price. In this article, I explore the new features in Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac and see how useful they are in reality. In plain speak, you can run Windows apps on your Mac, as if its built for the OS X. If you don’t already know what Parallels Desktop does, it’s basically software that allows you to run guest OSes, like Windows 8 or Ubuntu Linux over a virtualization layer. Almost like clockwork, Parallels released yet another new version of their popular product, Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac, a year after version 8 was released. ![]() ![]() ![]() So it was kind of fun having all the extra fun stuff. We sent them sketches, we’d send them sketches that were not as detailed as this, and then it comes back, we’re like “Oh this is so cool they sewed shells and beads into this and all this detail into this thing.” That was really an eye-opener because all we’d done was Myst. So Tony, who’s our president now, called around because he was the producer for the thing, and found the Seattle Opera and who made clothing and costumes for the Seattle Opera. But we don’t know how to get costumes designed. The cool thing about this is we designed these…We had money for Riven, obviously, which was sweet. RM: These are two of the costumes from Riven. And we were working with some architects who suggested “Maybe we can get some clay and work some stuff out.” So for a few days several of us on the team who were going to build the city mocked it up, and this is the result. We were having a hard time wrapping our brains about it. ![]() This is all stuff we originally threw out, and my brother Robyn pulled it out of the trash cans and said “Yeah, we should keep this.” It’s nice to have it here.ĮRIC ANDERSON, Art Director: Uru, during the early days, we were having a hard time trying to figure out what the heck the city itself looked like. The original espresso machine or whatever it’s called. It’s kind of…you get to see the way brains are working. This is stuff they…Oh my goodness the Riven stuff, you can see a lot of the evolution. RM: This is concept art by either Robyn or Richard Vander Wende on Riven. He says it in an interview, “I don’t play many games but I built this cool crazy dagger thing for those guys.” And we didn’t know! It’s hanging here and we’re like “What?! That thing’s special now! We thought it was just a cool-looking dagger!” Concept art Come to find out that it was basically Jamie and Adam, the MythBuster guys, who he called, back when they were still a prop company. Let’s just do it in CG.”īut that was still…Sweet prop! We’ll hang that up! But then what we find out is that…Eric Anderson, our art director, he sends around this video. So Tony gets in touch with some prop guys in the Bay Area and has that sent up, and by the time we got that the CG guys had already been like “We did a mock-up, I think we can do it all in CG. So the art department’s like “Okay, someone make the Riven dagger and we’ll just build out all this dirt everywhere. Just a small miniature version.” And this big Riven dagger falls down like and dust should fly up. ![]() That thing…at the end of Riven there’s this sequence where the whole world is destroyed, everything collapses, and we’ve got all these workstations and all this incredibly expensive hardware and software, but we’re thinking, “Well, destroyed worlds are so many particles. The place is in a little bit better repair, and we’re just doing what we can. And they were thinking “Ah, we’ll have milked it by then.” But it was great for us because ten or fifteen years later the mobile market was coming up, and we were like “Oh man, if we could just convert some of these we could at least get bootstrap money to fund a little here, build up a couple people.” It’s worked, which is nice. I don’t even remember how long it was, but it was probably ten years or fifteen years. With Broderbund we said “Well, how about a long time but not in perpetuity. The publisher’s always right in perpetuity. Any indie that can pull that off is smart. We still had people doing stuff because I think we were, at that point…One of the smartest things we ever did was get the rights to the software to revert back to us, to get the IP to revert back to us. I mean, we didn’t even run the sprinklers for a couple years and stuff just collected. ![]() ![]() ![]()

If you apply for an English degree, admissions officers will look for evidence of your knowledge in this subject area. UK universities like to see that you're involved in activities related to what you want to study. The US encourages diversity, experimentation, and breadth of study, and the UK encourages specialization and focus on a particular subject. Colleges in the US and UK have very different ideas of education. While the IB is also highly regarded by UK universities, they don't value it quite the same way. Will The IB Increase Your Chances of Getting into a UK University? Strong IB performance can also benefit you when you fill out university scholarship and financial aid assessments. As a policy, DP recipients will earn a minimum of 30 credit hours and up to 45 credit hours of advanced credit. State university system (UC Berkeley, UCLA, etc.) - Generous when it comes to the IB.New York University - Typically awards eight hours of course credits for each HL subject in which you've scored at least a six.Stanford University - Specified HL IB exams with scores of five or higher in the subjects listed here are eligible for credit.University of Pennsylvania - A score of six in most "higher level" (HL) IB subjects will earn you some credits towards your degree.Most of the top US colleges will even give you credits for your Diploma Program subjects if you get over a particular score. If you had the US in mind for university, consider the IB. Regardless, completing the DP definitely won't hurt your chances of admission. But, their IB education indicates they are stronger candidates because they took the IB. IB students aren't necessarily given preference over non-IB students in the university selection process. The gap is even more significant for top-ranked universities outside the Ivy League. An IBO survey showed that the acceptance rate of IB students into Ivy League universities is up to 18% higher than the total population acceptance rate. Universities tend to admit IB students at a higher rate than their non-IB counterparts. The IB Diploma Program is well-known in the US and unofficially accepted as a "college standard" curriculum.
