They may be items that were supposed to be completed during the last sprint but for some reason were not, or some may be labeled as nonfunctional meaning that the work is essential for the well-being of the overall project’s success but will not lead directly to a new product or service. Any new additions to the product backlog will usually be high priority items to be done in the next sprint. Product Backlog Maintenanceīecause of the discussions and interactions in both the sprint review and retrospective meetings, there should be adds, changes, and deletes made to the product backlog. In short, what do they as an individual or team need to change or alter to have a better chance of winning the next week. Whether they won or lost the team is looking for how it could have executed or defended better. The project may have been completed, but most likely it came in late and over budget.Ī very good analogy of what you hope to accomplish in a retrospective meeting is what a football team hopes to accomplish in its Monday morning tape review of the weekend’s game. Once the project is done, it is too late to find out how it could have been done in a better way. It is an ongoing process of improvement from sprint to sprint. It is important to learn of and solve problems as they occur. Are all stakeholders aware of our progress?.Is our communication with the Product Owner and stakeholders adequate?.Do we need to change any of the rules we are operating under?.Can we improve our daily scrum meetings?.This means the team should talk about its internal processes as well. The goal of the retrospective is for the team members to discuss among themselves about how the work went during the last sprint so that better ways can be found to meet the project’s goals. It is not the ScrumMaster’s role to provide answers to things that did not go well, but rather to help the development team find better ways for the scrum process to work for them in upcoming sprints. The ScrumMaster should write down in summary form what their answers were. At this meeting, each team member should first answer those two questions as it pertains to him or her. The purpose of the sprint retrospective meeting is for the development team to discuss what went well during the just completed sprint and what did not. What is discussed in the Retrospective Meeting? It is time-boxed up to three hours and is attended by all the development team members, the ScrumMaster, and the Product Owner. Along with the sprint review meeting, the sprint retrospective meeting is held at the end of each sprint. The Hays Code essentially killed off all interest in Betty Boop - obviously, as a cartoon she couldn't wear such flamboyant outfits or maintain such a flirtatious attitude. In early cartoons, Betty's pals were Koko The Clown and Bimbo the dog later on, Betty's grandpa Grampy, wild cousin Buzzy, and nonhumanized puppy Pudgy headlined episodes of their own. It is this symbol-laden character, who still resonates in today's society, that director Claire Duguet explores in the documentary Betty Boop For Ever, supported by the testimonies of Jeni Mahoney, the great-granddaughter of Max Fleischer, Chantal Thomas and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.Pioneering cartoon series (from 1930-1939, plus a few one-off revivals) from Fleischer Studios, Betty Boop was the mirror of the stereotypical flapper, simultaneously looking for a good time and good-at-heart. This recalled that she was the first heroine to raise the issue of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry, by slapping a crooked producer in a 1932 episode. So much so that in November 2017, when the Weinstein scandal erupted, The New Yorker featured her on the cover, facing a man with his back to the wall in an open bathrobe. But unlike the docile characters embodied on screen by Hollywood actresses, Betty Boop defended herself. This was what gave her strength, yet also what imprisoned her in an image of prejudice, perpetually hunted by malicious men who held a grudge against her body, at a time when the romanticization of forced relationships was rampant in the film industry. Which makes sense, given that she was a drawing. Like flappers, those young American girls who challenged social and sexual conventions, who went out alone, who drank, who flirted, Betty Boop didn't care how others looked at her. Never before seen on the screen.īetty Boop, musical short by Dave Fleischer "A Language of my own" (1935) © Lobster From flappers to feminism The cartoon is transgressive even in its soundtrack, with this "boop-oop-a-doop" borrowed from scat, and this music provided by black jazzmen like Cab Calloway or Louis Armstrong, projected on the front of the stage in front of a white audience. Just as women have just won the vote, she runs for president and wins. Like Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, Betty Boop is a pilot. Sexy, but not just that she is free, she has fun, she works. With her pin-up body and baby face that appeal to all generations, Betty Boop, born from the imagination of animator Max Fleischer, is above all a pioneer in the representation of the female character. Soon she became a woman, the first all-human cartoon heroine, the first to play the leading role in an animated series. In her first appearance, she adopted the features of a somewhat endearing bulldog. In animated shorts, there was only one female figure: Minnie Mouse, the wise housewife mouse. On the screen, Hollywood actresses were beautiful, seductive, ideal for distracting male brains preoccupied with unemployment and the economy at half-mast. At the same time, talking movies took their first steps. In 1929, the stock market crash plunged the United States into the Great Depression. In Betty Boop For Ever, a comprehensive documentary for French channel Arte, director Claire Duguet Claire Duguet discusses the position of Betty Boop in popular culture, but also in the representation of feminist struggles. So with our two additional integers total size equals 16. And that works well until 64-bit comes on scene where size of extra window memory for 'Edit' window class equals 8 bytes. And to get offset for v17 you have to subtract 4 from total (14) which gives you exactly 10 ( = 0xA in hexadecimal). To get offset for lpPrevWndFunc you have to subtract 8 from total (14) (which is done correctly). Call for GetClassLongA(hWnd, GCL_CBWNDEXTRA) returns us this total bytes of extra memory used. So plus our two integer (4 bytes) parameters gives total: 6+4*2 = 14 bytes. In 32-bit OS size of extra window memory for 'Edit' window class equals 6 bytes. But offset for the first one is hard-coded = 0xA. The second one is acquired correctly using offset in nIndex. Here we are getting two parameters: v17 - pointer to some Style data, and lpPrevWndFunc - pointer to parent callback. The problem was in hard-coded 0xA which is offset for parameter in extra window memory. LpPrevWndFunc = GetWindowLongA(hWnd, nIndex) NIndex = GetClassLongA(hWnd, GCL_CBWNDEXTRA) - 8 The patcher can even detect if Mastermind's patch has already been applied and will replace it. Civilization II Multiplayer Gold Edition.And customizing world size is like '100', 'TAB', '100', 'Enter'. So, the establishing city is now just 'B', 'Enter'. Unlike the existing well known patch by Mastermind it will retain the full functionality of edit controls including the response to the Enter, TAB or Escape keys. It eliminates game and editor crashes on 64-bit systems when the game tries to display edit controls (input fields) for entering text (like city name, emperor name, world sizes etc.). This is Civilization II 64-bit Editbox Patcher. And after a while I managed to make my own patch that works without any side effects. Yes it allows to run game on 64-bit but the normal key-processing for input fields was broken. Finally I realized that problem was in Mastermind's patch. Suddenly I took debugger and dive deep in assembly code for a week. I remembered that sometime in the past everything worked fine. It was little annoying to press 'B' to build city and after that move mouse to hunt OK button rather than just press Enter. And always confusing about input fields not reacting on keyboard strokes like Enter, TAB or Esc. I was playing Civilization 2 MGE many years on my windows 7 64-bit. I suppose it is possible that the most recent update on 21 April has corrected a glitch in the offending one, so it may have been a temporary problem. Tomorrow I will try reinstalling the offending update, just to check it is the culprit. When I restarted my laptop just now after uninstalling the Windows update, I found it had installed another security update (KB5000808, installed 21 April) but this doesn't seem to have affected Civ2. I thought you may want to know in case others experience the same issue. I uninstalled KB5001337, tried Civ2 again, and to my joy the Tax Rate sliders have reappeared! Looking in the Windows updates history, I saw there were two security updates on 18 April, KB5001337 and KB5001406. I tried relaunching Civ2, restarted the laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled Civ2 from the CD - all to no avail. Today, I found the sliders had disappeared from the Tax Rate window, so I had no way of changing the tax/science/luxuries rates. Thanks for your excellent work on your Civ2 Patcher, which I have used for years with Multiplayer Gold on Windows 10 - it has given me great enjoyment. Nevertheless, I want to present you yet another patch. I know that more than 10 years have passed since the Mastermind's patch was presented to run the game on the 64-bit systems.

To Ares, God of War, she bore Harmonia, Deimos, and Phobos. In fact, she didn’t seem very interested in him at all though he adored her and showered her with gifts, including a girdle that made the wearer irresistible to men. She was married to Hephaestus (though he’d rather have been with Athene) as Zeus feared this great beauty if left single would be the cause of strife on Olympus, but she bore him no children. Plato decided she was two Goddesses: Urania, daughter of Uranus, the Goddess of pure love, and Pandemos, daughter of Zeus and Dione, Goddess of “common” love.
