unprofessionally:

I’ve grown into a habit of staying to watch the credits and stay in theaters until the very end—when the projector is turned off. I was happy I stayed until the bitter end of Wreck It Ralph, and discovered a half-glitched Disney logo in the final seconds of the reel. I recognized it as the split-screen glitch from Pacman, a very genuine homage to the games the movie was modeled after.

Here’s some background on the glitch for those that don’t know, courtesy of Wikipedia:

Pac-Man was designed to have no ending – as long as the player keeps at least one life, he or she should be able to play the game indefinitely. However, a bug keeps this from happening: Normally, no more than seven fruit are displayed at the bottom of the screen at any given time. But when the internal level counter, which is stored in a single byte (8 bits), reaches 255, the subroutine that draws the fruit erroneously “rolls over” this number to zero, causing it to try to draw 256 fruit instead of the usual seven. This corrupts the bottom of the screen and the entire right half of the maze with seemingly random symbols, making it impossible to eat enough dots to beat the level. Because this effectively ends the game, this “split-screen” level is often referred to as the “kill screen”. Emulators and code analysis have revealed what would happen should this 255th level be cleared: The fruit and intermissions would restart at level 1 conditions, but the enemies would retain their higher speed and invulnerability to power pellets from the higher stages.

A very nice touch.

oh gosh, but seriously

I already have a headcanon that his sister’s ice skates were offered to her by North on that winter’s Christmas, hence why she was so excited to try them with her brother; I mean, if they were a poor family they wouldn’t be able to afford those, right

and who knows, maybe the cloak was an early Christmas present from his parents (they probs figured it would be better to give it to him before winter started and not wait until Christmas) and oh god hELP I’m being attacked by the sad headcanons and mentl images of his mother lovingly tying up his cloak and stepping back to admire it and Jack just sort of twirling it around and using it to play with his sister like hiding his face with it and approaching her pretending he’s a monster or the boogeyman or something and then he starts tickling her

Cuba creates four anti-cancer vaccines, media ignores it

locsgirl:

amodernmanifesto:

That Cuba has already developed four vaccines or inoculations against different types of cancer is without doubt important news for humanity. The World Health Organisation says each year about 8 million people die from this illness.

However, the international mainstream media have almost totally ignored this news.

Last year, Cuba patented the first therapeutic vaccine against advanced lung cancer in the world, called CIMAVAX-EGF. In January, the second one, called Racotumomab, was announced.

Clinical testing in 86 countries shows that these vaccines, although they don’t cure the illness, do managed to reduce tumours and allow for a stable stage of the illness, thereby increasing hope and quality of life.

The Molecular Immunology Centre of Havana, a Cuban state organisation, is the creator of all these vaccines.

In 1985 it developed the vaccine for meningitis B, the only one in the world, and later others that fight hepatitis B and dengue. For years, the centre has been conducting research to develop vaccines against AIDS-HIV.

The other Cuban state-run centre, Laboratories LABIOFAM, has developed homeopathic medicine for cancer such as VIDATOX, created from the blue scorpion’s venom. Cuba exports these medicines to 26 countries, and takes part in joint companies with China, Canada, and Spain.

All of this goes against the well-enforced stereotype, reinforced by the media silence regarding advances achieved by Cuba and other global south (so-called Third World) countries, that vanguard medical research takes place only in so-called developed countries.
