The J.L. Hudson Company started in 1881 and by the early 1960s, its flagship downtown Detroit store took up an entire city block at 2.2 million square feet. The building was the tallest department store in the world at 26 stories, or 439 feet. But department stores aren't quite what they once were, and explosives brought down the structure in 1998—just ahead of the company itself going under. When felled, Hudson became the tallest building ever imploded and the largest single building imploded.

The Sega Saturn is a 32-bit fifth-generation home video game console developed by Sega and released on November 22, 1994 in Japan, May 11, 1995 in North America, and July 8, 1995 in Europe. The successor to the successful Sega Genesis, the Saturn has a dual-CPU architecture and eight processors. Its games are in CD-ROM format, and its game library contains several arcade ports as well as original games.

The Saturn was initially successful in Japan, but failed to sell in large numbers in the United States after its surprise May 1995 launch, four months before its scheduled release date. After the debut of the Nintendo 64 in late 1996, the Saturn rapidly lost market share in the U.S., where it was discontinued in 1998. Having sold 9.26 million units worldwide, the Saturn is considered a commercial failure. The failure of Sega's development teams to release a game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, known in development as Sonic X-treme, has been considered a factor in the console's poor performance.

Things that would've made Sega Dreamcast stay for much longer (Xbox and Gamecube discontinue date/ maybe even PS2);
1. Backwards compatibility with Sega Saturn and Sega CD games.
2. More support into the console
3. Put work into the Sega Saturn
4. Make good games for Sega 32X
5. Cartridge slot for Genesis and 32X games

I understand why Dreamcast wasn't compatible with DVD's because back in 1998 (1999 for America/ Europe/ Australia) there were no such thing as DVD's yet so they wouldn't have been able to make it compatible with them unless they released a slim model which could.

If Sega had done the things mentioned above, Sega Dreamcast would've stayed for much longer (and with that Sonic Heroes would've been for Dreamcast instead of being for multi-platform)

Morpheus was known as the god of dreams. He shaped and formed the dreams, through which he could appear to mortals in any form. This talent made Morpheus a messenger of the gods, able to communicate divine messages to sleeping mortals. Though he could take any human form, Morpheus’s true form was that of a winged demon.

Although all players were officially registered as Cambridge Regional College players, many were also part of Cambridge United's Youth Academy, and transfer rules allowed first team players for Cambridge United to move on loan throughout the season.

When young people are prepared to give up all the things they are welded to like iPhones, xboxes, computers, cheap clothes, fast food plus anything manufactured - if kids walked or cycled to school instead of their lovely comfortable car lift and then getting out and protesting as part of the rebellion ... then I will start listening to them! The generation she is part of are the ones rapidly using up resources - so they can protest and blame all they like ... instead make changes ... then they will be more credible!

Feeding animals can be pricy and is many times the most expensive part of animal agriculture. In order to keep costs low, and their animals healthy, farmers feed by-products from other industries to reduce the amount of hay and grain. Products such as distiller’s grains and soybean hulls contain many valuable nutrients. This is also environmentally conscious as it prevents waste!
