![]() Each summer, the gallery commissions an architect who has not previously built in the UK to design a temporary pavilion for the lawn in front of the Serpentine. For art lovers, the Serpentine Galleries are set either side of Serpentine Bridge and display contemporary art and work by pioneering practitioners, with previous exhibits by Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst. To the west of the Long Water, the Peter Pan statue stands adorned with rabbits, squirrels, mice and fairies, while to the south the Albert Memorial stands proudly on the horizon. The seven-mile Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, which crosses to neighbouring Hyde Park’s Diana Memorial Fountain, also passes through Kensington Gardens and marks favourite locations associated with the princess during her lifetime.Īvenues of trees radiate from the Round Pond, leading to the different corners of the parkland. Once part of Hyde Park, the broad pathways of Kensington Gardens lead across the open greens to much-loved attractions, including the 150-year-old Italian water garden, the iconic bronze statue of Peter Pan and Diana Memorial Playground. ![]() ![]() GardensĪfter roaming the historic hallways, Kensington Palace’s splendid grounds await. For a touch of modern history, the spectacular exhibition of Princess Diana’s dresses runs until February 2019. The Cupola Room is the most ornately designed room of the State Apartments and was the first royal commission of William Kent, the artist and designer who would go on to decorate the rest of the interior of the palace. While Nottingham Cottage may be out of bounds, visitors can tour public wings including the King’s Gallery, which looks almost exactly as it did when it was decorated for King George I in 1725, with a mix of red damask and opulent carvings and walls bearing some of the finest paintings in the Royal Collection. Nottingham Cottage, Prince Harry’s two-bedroom abode is also located in the grounds and was the setting for his romantic proposal to Meghan Markle. Nowhere is quite as ensconced in the modern royal fairytale the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reside in a 20-room apartment in Kensington Palace, while former residents include Diana, Princess of Wales and Princess Margaret. The birthplace of Queen Victoria in 1819 and her residence until her ascension to the throne in 1837, the palace brims with exhibits, artefacts and original features. Its royal connections can be traced back to 1689 when King William III chose it as his residence, and today Kensington Palace remains the jewel in the borough’s crown.

![]() ![]() People told me not so sign a contract I don’t want, and my recruiter/bots from It was described that I will be at a severe disadvantage if I do that, and tack on more years to my stay in the military. There are a few other opportunities later on.Īt the moment 5 or 6 people told me that the ranking system I described for why someone took the spot I was in is most likely BS (someone thought I was straight up lying and told me to go to another forum), that if I want to retrain for an air position, I have to try my luck in talking to my supervisor in tech school and hope that they are willing to switch me, or re-enlist, which is more difficult then already going in as airborne. Most if not all 1A8s start at Offut AFB in Nebraska. They are all desk jobs and some ops centers if you're working live missions require you to be listening ALL shift unless someone replaces you. ![]() Ground linguist is not physically engaging at all so if that is one of your requirements, you should not pick it. Ground is going to get you more into stuff that may actually affect foreign policy. I don't know many airborne linguists, but I'm fairly certain a lot of their missions are threat warning based. Unless something has changed, Navy doesn't go to further tech training after DLI at Goodfellow, so you'd get operational quicker likely with the Navy. In class at DLI is mostly the same, except AF/Navy are going to have different service side requirements. The training is a bit different from Navy/AF. I have no idea what main languages the Navy is pushing right now, but all of the AF languages translate well to civilian jobs if that is what you're interested in. The Navy isn't terrible but the AF is still the place to be for quality of life. The answers are there, but whatever assumptions/research you've done is fairly correct. I'd do a search, this question gets asked at least every 2-3 months. I really would like to take on work that is both mentally and physically engaging. There are no guarantees in the navy though, and if I can guarantee a more "active" lifestyle as an airborne linguist without sacrificing the intellectual aspects of the job, then that seems very attractive. On the navy side, there's just one rating, and CTI duty seems to be be primarily CONUS cyber-heavy (like 1N3) with some limited opportunities for deployment-heavy duty (like 1A8). I'm just trying to consider all useful avenues. I'm coming to this as somebody who is also looking at joining the navy as their equivalent (CTI), and I've already familiarized myself as much as possible with the enlisted linguist role - which should see similar training regardless of military branch. I know "it depends" is the safe answer to some of this, but I'm not familiar enough with pulling USAF documents to see if I've missed some less obvious difference between the two. Ground should have a more stable office lifestyle, while airborne schedules can be unpredictable.īut other than 1A8 needing to know plane systems and related emergency/survival skills, they're basically the same job, right? The airborne variety isn't a dumbed down version of the ground variety? Career and advancement prospects are similar for both? The culture sounds somewhat informal at both, though ground seems more traditional corporate/government while airborne seems closer to an "air force" or "military" experience. 1N3 seems primarily based out of various cyber commands (GA, MD, HI), and 1A8 seems to locate closer to bases where flights originate? I'm not familiar enough with the related air bases to guess what it is they have in common. My impression is that both are analyst jobs in an intel environment, where the airman will work as a translator and subject matter expert in the culture/language learned at DLI. Are all of the differences stemming from that, or do the jobs significantly differ in other ways? The obvious difference is that one works on the ground, and one deploys on planes. (Disclaimer: not asking for details of what's done on the job, as I know much of it will be classified.) I'll put some background info at the bottom in case it matters, but my primary reason for this thread is I'm looking for some nuance between these two fields, such that it may exist. ![]() Pricing and availability are subject to change until a quote is saved.

Double-sided gorilla tape will leave a residue at the time of removal.Īs a big fan of the Gorilla double-sided tape, I wanted to know whether it would leave a residue when peeled it off. ![]() If you apply too much Gorilla double-sided tape and it does not adhere, you can peel it up and apply it later.

![]() On Game Gear, sadly, it doesn't fare too well, but that's due to some sadly careless use of the Game Gear screen space rather than its level design, controls etc - the actual meat of the thing is a lot of fun, seeing Mowgli zip around various bits of his beloved jungle collecting precious red diamonds, just like he did in the movie. You wouldn't think a Jungle Book game would work particularly well, but the Mega Drive cart based on the film of the book of the book is a shockingly enjoyable collect-'em-up platformer. One of the weakest carts I've encountered so far. It's a Game Gear cartridge, friends - I don't want to spend ten minutes plus on a single boring level. Bonus rounds see you rolling across obstacle courses on a runaway office chair, but they're so sluggish that they fail to inject any excitement into the proceedings whatsoever. ![]() Worst of all, the levels are enormous, maze-like runarounds full of platforms and ladders like a shit Chuckie Egg, seeing you avoid boring enemy sprites while collecting indistinct objects in an effort to finally move onto the next borderline-identical area. It looks okay, though things move so slowly, so judderingly, that it doesn't really matter. There are barely any sound effects, either. The music sets the tone - or doesn't, because it's borderline unlistenable. The SNES Bonkers game is surprisingly decent so I had hoped this would be okay, but it's a total stinker, folks. Look, the cartoon was beautifully animated, let's just leave it at that. There's plenty of story here, too - far more than any other version - but cut this stuff out and it's a remarkably brief journey. Opening with a couple of exciting chase levels, proceedings soon give way to a somewhat more thoughtful Prince of Persia-style platformer that makes time for the expected magic carpet ride and sword fight against a giant snake. ![]() It lacks the consistency of the Mickey and Donald games, but there's a decent amount of enjoyment to be wrung out of its movie-led structure. What was very impressive on said home console - parallax! Semi-3D buildings! - is less so on the handheld, knowing what it would go on to do, but Aladdin remains an enjoyable little game.

Even with my having loved the original game and really wanting to like this game, I could not. … ExpandĪre you guys all part of the development team for this game? How you could have actually played this game and given these positive reviews I Are you guys all part of the development team for this game? How you could have actually played this game and given these positive reviews I don't know. My last word is for Sega: If you really wanted a Mickey Mouse game to update, could you update Fantasia? It wasn't the best game ever (even though it looked pretty), and with today's standards (exercised in this game for example), it could truly shine. I would recommend playing the demo and having a go of it, and see what you think. No, its not the ultimate edition of a long-loved classic, but its a quality, passionate tribute. ![]() But if the game can be a mite unfair, and if it is over too fast, then its a quality ride for sure, and one that has been treated with a lot of due care and attention, and the platforming action (and challenges!!) will keep you coming back in the short-term. The game is far too short, and any challenge to be found is in the initially cumbersome control method, which does need tweaking. The gameplay is where the game falls-down a little. To me, it not only evoked the care and attention to detail that belongs perhaps to the DIsney universe, but more to the fact that I was reminded of the other Mickey Mouse games on Megadrive, Fantasia and World of Illusion!! The graphics are gorgeous beyond belief, almost hand drawn and animated it seems, and the music and sound effects compliment them it all melts together, and I couldn't help to be pulled-in. Perhaps, like Flashback as well of recent, these aren't remakes, but more realisations, and ultimately attempted transformations of a classic, and in a way trying to make it appeal to a modern audience? Ultimately they both fail, as the originals are still classics, and if you really want to sample them, go to the originals!! But still, I have to say that I felt spoilt with this latest update. The original Castle of Illusion is a wonderful game (on both Master System and Megadrive), and when I heard that Sega were publishing a The original Castle of Illusion is a wonderful game (on both Master System and Megadrive), and when I heard that Sega were publishing a remake, I honestly wondered what it was going to be like. ![]() ![]() Spyware may infect your computer unnoticeably, piled up registries may cause serious system issues like windows crashes and error messages, not to mention various threats you need to dodge while surfing.
