Nerissa died in 1986, and Katherine died in 2014.Ī quick check of Burke’s substantiates the official declaration that the sisters are deceased, but Sherlock Margaret believes there’s something fishy going on. In truth, as verified by the photos and birth and death dates included in the epilogue for “The Hereditary Principle,” both sisters were very much alive during the events of this episode. They were committed to the Earlswood Asylum in 1941 – and both were listed in Burke’s Peerage as having died by 1961. What we do know is Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon were the daughters of the Queen Mother’s older brother, John “Jock” Bowes-Lyon. There isn’t a huge amount of information available on this topic, which, of course, makes it ideal for a Crown episode. When the therapist (Gemma Jones) discusses the Windsor family’s mental health history, she lets it slip that the princess has two institutionalized first cousins on her mother’s side. Strangely enough, that isn’t the most memorable part of the appointment. As the camera moves into a close-up of Bonham Carter’s profile, her quivering lip belies Margaret’s stoicism, with the princess admitting to her depression. Margaret begrudgingly attends a therapy session, but it doesn’t take much prying for her to open up, or for Bonham Carter to rival Colman’s tear-duct work. It’s a short-lived escape, though, because she almost immediately returns to London at the behest of her nephew Charles, a recent convert to psychotherapy: It’s time for Margaret to get some professional help. Now devoid of any purpose, Margaret boards a private jet to Mustique, where she mopes around her neglected beach house, dreaming of the good ol’ days with Roddy Llewellyn. (If you ever wondered what a Queen Elizabeth-crapping-her-pants expression looked like, Olivia Colman grants your wish beautifully in this scene.) Talk about terrible timing: shortly afterward, the Queen informs Margaret that she must relinquish her role as Counsellor of State - one of six senior royals who can deputize for the monarch when needed- to the now-of-age Prince Edward. So, following a health scare, a pale and weakened Margaret makes a “ familiar request” of her sister: She wants to take on more royal duties. Also, Prince Charles mentions that Diana is pregnant, and Harry was born in September 1984. But the public discovery of Elizabeth and Margaret’s developmentally disabled cousins, Katherine and Nerissa Bowes-Lyon, didn’t happen until 1987. I don’t think The Crown was terribly concerned with timeline accuracy for this episode, because two of the major events that sent Margaret spiraling in “The Hereditary Principle” – the partial removal of her lung and Prince Edward replacing her as Counsellor of State – occurred in 1985. Second-born royals like Margaret and Prince Andrew have a pretty ugly track record, so bravo to Prince Harry for taking pre-emptive measures not just for his own well-being, but that of his wife and son. After watching the stories of Princesses Diana and Margaret this season, I am even more in awe of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to leave their senior royal roles. Time and time again, whenever she’s offered the opportunity to take control of her life (marrying Group Captain Peter Townsend, or, in “The Hereditary Principle,” converting to Catholicism), she can never go through with it, because it means relinquishing her title – thus allowing the toxicity cycle to continue. What I do know about Margaret, though, is that she always returns to the source of her misery. Now, I know I have no right to make any sort of diagnosis since my therapy credentials extend to multiple viewings of all four seasons of The Crown. But the real tragedy of Margaret’s story is how she seems to suffer from a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. We learn about yet another royal family secret in this episode, as well as delve deeper into Margaret’s depression – something that’s managed to get even worse since she ended her destructive marriage to Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1978. She is tasked with not just capturing the princess’ aimless existence, but as she’s been doing all season long, positioning Margaret as the only royal confident enough to call bullshit on her family’s atrocious behavior. “The Hereditary Principle” is the first and only Margaret-centric episode of season four, and Helena Bonham Carter makes up for her reduced screen time brilliantly. It also means, in case you haven’t noticed this season, that Princess Margaret has been relegated even further to the periphery – of both her family and the Netflix series. As The Crown inches closer toward the 21st century, it’s inevitable that the focus will shift onto Queen Elizabeth’s children.

![]() In each Age, you must find red or blue pages ripped from magical books and return to Myst island. While the game's story is key to its final conundrum, the puzzles and fantastical locales are the real draw. Exploring the rest of the small island reveals more strange monuments and eventually portals in the form of books to four other worlds called Ages.Īlong the way, you learn about the former inhabitants of the island and the deadly, family plot that ensnared them all. Ahead of you is an enormous gear, and to your right a half-submerged sailing ship. ![]() Immediately, the mysterious whimsy of this place is on display. Myst opens with you materializing on the dock of the titular Myst island. There are sequels to Myst, but these aren't them. The platform and visuals might change, but the locations, puzzles, and story are the same. It's important to understand that all of these games, and the one reviewed here, are functionally identical to the original 1993 Myst. Last year, a totally revamped Myst made its VR debut on the Oculus Quest, but the promise of a higher-quality release for PC was still dangling. realMyst: Masterpiece Edition, which I reviewed on the Nintendo Switch, lets you freely roam around instead of clicking through still images. In the intervening decades, developer Cyan revamped the graphics and game engine to make Myst more accessible. Even PCMag was enamored with its 1994 release for Windows. Although it was little more than static images navigated by pointing and clicking, it nonetheless captured the imagination of millions of players. Myst shirked fast-paced action, and instead encouraged you to explore its world at your own pace by removing time limits, enemies, player death, and combat. It didn't debut on a home console game system, but rather as one of the first CD-ROM games to hit the PC market. ![]() Myst originally debuted in 1993, sparking a cultural moment unusual for any video game, especially for a game like Myst. Available on numerous platforms and with a reasonable $29.99 sticker price, getting into Myst has never been easier, and the experience has never been better. The lush environments have never been so enticing to explore, and virtual reality (VR) offers a new way to soak yourself in the game's rich atmosphere. While the game has been re-released with tweaks and updates and given funny names like "realMyst," this edition is intended to be so definitive that it is simply called "Myst," and it lives up to the consequently high expectations. Cyan created Myst 28 years ago, and since then the atmospheric puzzle game has gone on to become one of the most successful PC games of all time. Troubleshooting Known Issues Known Issues.

That's the biggest problem with Transformers, like their jokes go on too long, with no idea why these scenes are even in the context of the film. ![]() And the humor in Cap'n A isn't offensive, mean spirited, goofy or even overstaying it's welcome. Just coming out of Captain America and even with it's action which is all modest, Captian runs, punches dude, but there's still a sense of his optimism and honesty is well defined. And also how unearned any of it's action is. WOW! I've read fan fiction better then that. Kind of off topic, but got motivated to draw a killer robot right after seeing how dull and boring transformers was. I'm not intending to copy a specific scene from the film, just like the idea of overly violent and fighting to the death with these deranged monsters who are constantly smiling. I just loved kinetic energy in the fight scene, so I'm trying hard to emulate that in the final piece. But I learned sketching from it, it's not wise to just draw it identically instead just focuse on the movement and flow of the pose instead. I own a Asuka figure, but I stepped on it in the middle of night while living in Philly like 9 years ago. Always loved the demented and deranged those Evas looked like and how Asuka was just feeding on her own energy of not being defeated. I picked the Asuka death scene from End of Evangelion. Just wanted to show some of my rough sketches of my Eva piece I'm working on. ![]() ![]() Refrigerator Has NO Power – How To Troubleshoot?Ĭheck for tripped GFCI refrigerator outlet after power outageĪ part within the refrigerator/freezer may have failed or the fridge needs time to begin cooling NOTE: If the reset button on the power outlet trips, the outlet will NOT get power, reset it to get power.

If you find a model number for the pump itself, please let us know. With a house almost 20 years old, you may have more than one circuit panel to check, but always be careful when following those lines back to the breakers and never touch anything directly with your fingers. Also, maybe your timer has a manual override lever which will allow you to try and turn in on at any time? Since you don't have a multimeter or tester to check voltage, you can only try and follow the power lines or conduit from the timer back to the circuit panel. When the power went out, it may have stopped the timer at a certain point. Since your pump is wired to a timer, then you may want to see if the timer itself is actually "on time". Just follow the power cord to the back of the pump and see if there is any type of switch that you may be able to activate.

This emulator in the libretro build initially used the P.E.Op.S. It is available to run on various handheld consoles with fairly strong specifications (Think 2010's-onwards) like the Sony PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch. It differs from the Reloaded version in that it has special optimizations for systems that have an ARM architecture-based CPU. PCSX ReARMed is a fork of PCSX Reloaded and only available as a libretro core (e.g. Snapshot feature (Currently only Windows version).Save Rewind feature (currently only macOS and Linux version).Support for Libarchive (currently only macOS and Linux version).Support for ECM files (currently only macOS and Linux version).Compatibility with anti-jitter options in graphics plugins, such as GTE accuracy in the default Peops OpenGL plugin, or Improved coordinate accuracy in Edgbla gpuBladeSoft and it also supports Pete OpenGL2 plugin.A widescreen hack in the CPU options (3D games only).Disk tray opening and closing for games that require it.It is recommended to use this fork instead of the main upstream version. This is fixed by making the hack an option (in CPU settings off by default), and also adds an option for CPU overclocking. Mainline has a major issue where a hack written for WipeOut causes slowdowns in many games. The PGXP fork adds texture perspective correction, reduced polygon culling, and reduced polygon jitter (more so than mainline PCSX-Reloaded's GTE hack). It is also less accurate than Mednafen or XEBRA, which were previously recommended over it for 2D games, so the only advantage of PCSX-Reloaded now is its speed on older systems that only support OpenGL. However, increased internal resolution and PGXP are now available in DuckStation and the RetroArch fork of Mednafen. PCSX-Reloaded was once the best choice to play 3D games at higher resolutions and with other enhancements, using the configuration at Recommended PS1 Plugins. Coder linuzappz from Argentina worked on both PCSX & PCSX2 and co-founded at least the latter one with another team member named Shadow from Greece. Official development ceased on September 17, 2003, and development shifted to the new PlayStation 2 emulator, PCSX2. The initial base of the current emulator, PCSX, was first released for the PC on August 31, 2000. It has a completely reworked and modernized GTK2/Glade GUI, integrated plugins, an improved system for classic PSEmu plugins, better configuration tools, support for translation, easy installation, and support for AMD64. The old PCSX-df branch is a fork of the PCSX PlayStation emulator designed specifically for GNU/Linux (and probably other similar systems).

If you’re planning a garage sale, box similar items together, then tape the boxes closed and write the likely date of the garage sale on them. Place a sticky note by the speedometer of your car, and a note on your bathroom mirror so you remember to leave extra time in your schedule the next day. If you’re donating things to a charity, put the boxes in the trunk of your car to drop off the next day. Get rid of these things immediately or make sure it’s scheduled in the very near future. It’s also hazardous to your progress because it gives you the chance to bring the items back into the house. Storing unwanted items in the garage in a box waiting to take them to a thrift store or have a garage sale is not decluttering, it’s just rearranging! One of the secrets to decluttering success is getting the items out of your house quickly and permanently. I use the 4 box method but instead of just boxes, I use a garbage can for the Trash, a large storage basket for collecting the Put-Away items, a cardboard box for the Donate/Sell stuff, and a clear plastic storage bin for the Store Items. One of the most widely used is the 4 box method where you label 4 boxes as follows Trash, Put Away, Donate/Sell, and Store.

Not Using a Sorting System While Decluttering It’s a good idea to break each room into separate small areas or smaller projects so you can start and stop easily if you’re interrupted during your decluttering process.Īlways start with smaller areas and quick decluttering tasks to help you gain momentum and make the mental shift before you declutter tougher areas or an entire room. Set yourself up for success and create a decluttering plan that keeps you working through your entire home, room by room in a logical pattern. How to Avoid Decluttering Without a Plan: Starting a major decluttering project without a plan leaves lots of room for distraction, frustration, and ultimate failure of your decluttering efforts.
