![]() They tasted good too, adding a fruity flavor that paired well with the slightly sweetened corn flavor of original Kix. The way the berry pieces were molded made them look like bunches of grapes and/or raspberries, which was pretty cool. It was Kix cereal with some berry-flavored pieces. If Kix were to disappear, there would be little rending of garments, if any. The tagline for Kix was “Kid tested, mother approved,” indicating that kids would love them but they weren’t insane globs of sugar in a bowl. It’s just an added bonus that Urkel’s goofy face would be staring back at you from the box. That sounds pretty tasty, especially since there aren’t many strawberry-banana cereals readily available, if any. However, if you saw a cereal called Urkel-Os at the store, and if you remember Urkel’s wacky adventures, are you going to try and claim you aren’t going to buy this cereal? Plus, Urkel-Os were strawberry-banana flavored. Urkel-O’s came into existence in 1991 to capitalize on the breakout character from Family Matters. OK, so the idea of a cereal named after Steve Urkel may not seem to have much of a market in the year 2017. Also, it made milk taste absolutely amazing. However, having it around for the occasional indulgence would be nice. It was insanely sweet, and the kind of cereal that often gets chastised now for being unhealthy. However, Oreo O’s took things to the next level by including some cream reminiscent of the Oreo’s classic cream filling. It was like other “O” cereals, primarily consisting of little chocolatey rings. As such, you’d think an Oreo based cereal would work, but alas Oreo O’s lived a short though memorable life. This is so true that people accuse Hydrox of being an Oreo ripoff even though it predates the Oreo. ![]() Perhaps modern technology could allow a revamped Hidden Treasures to live up to its name a little better. It was easy to tell which filling was in which piece, eliminating the, let’s say “thrill,” of discovery. One could imagine children feeling cheated by hollow squares, but also evidently the “hidden” part didn’t work out so well, either. ![]() The pieces were made of little corn squares, but inside they had filling, the ostensible “treasure.” There was grape, cherry and orange, but to take the whole “treasure” thing to the next level some pieces were hollow. Hidden Treasures only existed for two short years (1993-1995), so there is a good chance you missed out on it. After all, fan clamoring led to the glorious return of French Toast Crunch. Here are the cereals we want to see back on the shelves, because it’s always possible that we can make a difference. On the other hand, there are some now-defunct cereals that didn’t deserve to be sent to that big supermarket in the sky. We’re all probably doing fine without Millenios, a Y2K-centric Cheerios variant that was literally just Cheerios with some 2s thrown in. Over the years, a litany of cereals have been discontinued, or at least disappeared off the shelves of American grocery stores. However, the cereal business can be fickle and cruel, and not every cereal is destined for a long life. From sugary cereals marketed toward children with cool cartoon animal mascots to healthy cereals for adults, you are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to cereals. Why, you can’t even count the assorted variations on Cheerios on one hand. One trip down the cereal aisle at your local grocery store will show you that there are literally dozens of different types of cereals for you to consider. ![]() You won’t find many realms in the food world more varied and eclectic than cereal.

My new inexpensive car is packing 30 horsepower, gets 27 miles to the gallon, and can reach speeds of almost FORTY-FIVE miles per hour (70 kph!). I build the cheapest, least-complicated car I can manage, and begin production - slow, careful production this time, with a price tag just over the production cost. (I know, it should be a minivan, but I just can't bring myself to do it.) I get back to work, designing a micro-car. In the eighties, my office is nicely updated with a big clunky computer on the desk, and I can only assume I'm sitting behind it with a flock of seagulls haircut and the sleeves of my blazer rolled up to mid-forearm. I open an office in China in 1980, hoping to produce an economy car. Time to spearhead the next generation of cars: tiny, efficient, and no fun at all. The gun is to fend off the unemployed workers when they storm my mansion. I'm a CEO! I probably escaped with millions. America! I guess I know what that revolver in my office safe is for. My own computer doesn't even trust me anymore.ĭream big, build big, fail completely. It's so bad that when I restart, my anti-virus software holds me up, deciding it needs to suspiciously examine the game's. How massive is my failure? Rather than being able to start a new game, GearCity actually leaves me no choice but to exit to Windows, that's how bad it is. No warning at all, either, except perhaps from all those angry notices piling up on my desk stating that my company has been losing massive amounts of money every month while I've been tied up building this one terrible car. Just asking my factory to start cranking out these hideous cars has instantly caused my company to fail. Gotta keep the buyer coming back for a new one every few weeks, right? I set the price at five times the production cost - luxury like this ain't cheap - and press the button, ready to produce this crimson beauty and drag my country into the next century, by which I mean the last century. This means they'll be built quickly, but not carefully, leading to a poorer product, but I don't want my cars to last forever. ![]() I only have a single factory at the moment, but I crank up its production speed to full. With my bright red behemoth designed, I retire to my office to let my turn-of-the-century eggheads build the prototype, and then begin production. What we here in the States call "the wrong side." Oh well! At least this way I can pull right up to food stands and purchase enormous slabs of meat and sugary beverages. The only thing I've overlooked is that my steering wheel is on the passenger side, or the European side, of the car. I put a mirror, presumably meant for the side of the car, on the rear, so anyone I speed past will see their own jealous expressions reflected back at them. Why do I need to signal that I'm stopping? I don't plan to stop driving for anything, and if I do, it'll be someone else's problem. I super-size the door-handles as well, because why not, and I decide to leave off the taillights. I throw on some wheels and then some tires, making them as thick and chunky as possible - I might as well deplete the world's supply of rubber while I'm at it - and slap on a single enormous headlight, the better to blind any oncoming horses with my sheer awesomeness. I'm not sure what kind of roads exist here in 1900, but I'm going to require they be made much, much wider. I pull up the roof, extend the cabin, drag the front fender forwards and the rear fender back. I begin in the R&D department, selecting the largest auto body I can find, and then begin playing with the game's sliders to make it even larger. So, I begin in Detroit, in 1900, and being an American, I decide to make the world's first car a really, really big one. Even the mass production of automobiles began in Lansing, Michigan, not Detroit, but look: I'm an American, and I'm used to history conforming to what I think happened rather than what actually did. Naturally, I want to begin where cars began: Detroit, Michigan! Sure, if you read up on the actual history of the automobile, they probably began in Germany, or France, or even China, depending on how you define automobile. So, I decided to play GearCity to fulfil my minute-old dream. ![]() My answer: no, I've never dreamed of running my own car company, at least until GearCity's website asked if I've ever dreamed of running my own car company.

Louis-based parent of Indianapolis-based health system Ascension St. Across the primary sensory cortices (i.e., primary visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortex) the anatomical build up and connectivity of these cortical layers is relatively similar. The human neocortex consists of six layers, each with a distinct anatomical connectivity and functionality. This transformation may be a first computational step towards sound abstraction and perception, serving to form an increasingly more complex representation of the physical input. These results suggest that a relevant transformation in sound processing takes place between the thalamo-recipient middle PAC layers and superficial PAC. ![]() This indicates an increase in processing complexity in superficial PAC, which remains present throughout cortical depths in the non-primary auditory cortex. We observe that while BOLD responses in deep and middle PAC layers are equally well represented by a simple frequency model and a more complex spectrotemporal modulation model, responses in superficial PAC are better represented by the more complex model. Specifically, we compare the performance of computational models that represent different hypotheses on sound processing inside and outside the primary auditory cortex (PAC). Here, we exploit the sensitivity and specificity of ultra-high field fMRI at 7 Tesla to investigate responses to natural sounds at deep, middle, and superficial cortical depths of the human auditory cortex. ![]() Their exploration in the human brain, however, has been severely restricted by the limited spatial resolution of non-invasive measurement techniques.

Secondly, the principle of effectiveness underlying in the CRC requires proactive measures by the state parties to provide age-appropriate and safe circumstances for the child to express her or his views taking the child’s individual, social and cultural background into account. ![]() Therefore, a child should never be under pressure or any influence to express the views (Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2009). This aspect of Article 12 and the right to be heard include two aspects. The first part is based on the term “freely” which includes that the right does not impose an obligation for the child to express their view, but grants her or him the right to choose to express her or his views. “The right to express those views freely” The capability to form a view does not require a child to have comprehensive knowledge of the issue at hand, it only requires the child to understand and be aware that she or he is expressing her or his views on a particular issue (Tobin, 2019). The assessment of such capability obliges state parties to withdraw the adult-centric perspective and apply a child perspective which requires the understanding of child-specific forms of expressing views (Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2009). This term is based on the application of the presumption that a child has the capacity to form her or his own views and does not impose an age limit on the exercise of this right. “Capable of forming his or her own views” Therefore, states are obliged to actively realize the child’s right to express her or his views freely and to give due weight to those views. This right imposes a strict obligation on state parties which grants them no discretion in the application and implementation of the right. “ States Parties shall assure to the child who is capable of forming his or her own views the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child, the views of the child being given due weight in accordance with the age and maturity of the child.” (Article 12 (1) CRC) “Shall assure” This object and purpose of the Convention reflects that children are perceived as “very active, constructive thinkers and learners” (Flavell, 1992). The intention of the drafting parties to establish the child as an independent and active right holder (Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, 2007) included the focus on the evolving autonomy of the child (Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2009). In previous children’s rights instruments, such as the 1924 and the 1959 Declaration on the Rights of the Child, the focus of its provision was the child’s welfare. It uniquely embodies the shift in the perception of a child from that of a passive object of law and in sole need of protection to an active participant in the process of decision-making as intended by the Convention (Tobin, 2019). The principle of inclusion and participation is based on the right to respect the views of the child implemented by Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (The Convention or CRC). ![]() Therefore the cost of national defence is paid indirectly by UK taxpayers. This results in higher taxes for UK taxpayers. For example, UK national defence costs £31bn. One solution is to treat the many beneficiaries as one consumer and then divide the cost equally. For example, a fisherman may take a high catch and free ride on other fishermen who are more concerned to preserve sustainable fish stocks. – This is also known as The Tragedy of the Commons. Therefore, public goods like national defence, street lighting, beautiful gardens may not be provided in a free market.Ī free-rider problem is also said to occur when there is overconsumption of shared resources. Non-rivalry – benefiting from good or service does not reduce the amount available to others.Non-excludability – you can’t stop anyone from consuming good.It would be good if we all contributed to cleaning the kitchen but there is a temptation to leave for someone else – who will do it all for us.Ī public good has a classic free-rider problem because public goods have two characteristics: If someone builds a lighthouse, all sailors will benefit from its illumination – even if they don’t pay towards its upkeep.In other words, we free ride on the efforts of others to recycle. There is an incentive to free-ride on efforts of other people to recycle and make less effort yourself. However, if one person in a city of five million produces less rubbish, it makes little difference. It is good to reduce our production of landfill rubbish.Another way to explain the free-rider problem is a slogan like “Let George do it” – where George stands for the rest of the world.Once pollution is reduced – everyone has to benefit. if you reduce pollution, everyone in society will benefit. The free-rider problem is common with public goods – goods with non-excludable benefits, e.g.If enough people can enjoy a good without paying for the cost – then there is a danger that, in a free market, the good will be under-provided or not provided at all. ![]() It also occurs, if people can get away with making only a token contribution (Something less than their overall benefit).This occurs when people can benefit from a good/service without paying anything towards it. |
