Wrong Turn.7

[Darth Sanderson]

Wehad failed to spot the right turn we should have made at Oworonshoki to get onto the 3rd mainland bridge. Measuring about 11.8 km, built by the firm Julius Berger and commissioned in 1990 by Ibrahim Babandiga (on his birthday), the Third Mainland Bridge is the longest of three bridges connecting Lagos Island to the mainland, the other two being the Eko and Carter bridges. It is the longest bridge inAfrica. The bridge starts from Oworonshoki which is linked to the Apapa-Oshodi express way and Lagos-Ibadan express way, and ends at the Adeniji Adele Interchange onLagosIsland. There is also a link midway through the bridge that leads to theHerbert Macaulay Way, Yaba.

One wrong turn had led to another and we had spent about forty minutes finding our way back to our starting point. That is the sense of wahala in navigating through the labyrinth of Eko roads. My boss told me one of the reasons why a driver was advisable is that I would be frustrated with the routes to use, especially if there was hold up, defined by my humble self as gargantuan traffic, and there is the need to explore alternative paths.

I am always impressed with the road network in Eko. The plethora of flyovers that link with each other like taalia on my favorite waakye. And I am amused then when I think of the euphoria and political counterclaims and ramble rousing that greeted the commissioning of the N1 highway in Accra. Only one more to add up to Tetteh Quarshie and the smaller Ako Adjei (here I smile when I recall that Sheiks I C Quaye was rumored to have said that Ako Adjei was named after the interchange!), Tema/Ashaiman, and Nima/Kanda interchanges. Our leaders should do more! Roundabouts are so 19th century now. We need interchanges and flyovers at the Tema motorway roundabout, for instance. That is long overdue. Our cousins in Eko and beyond certainly beat us in this regard. And, oh ok, in this,Nairobi lags behind paa.

Nana, the Ekoman and Ghanaman have something small in common in our brains, the easy way out on a highway when you miss your turn is to reverse.

But Nana there is also the Adum- Asafo interchange, and the the sofoline underconstruction in Kumasi. Motoway roundabout is really long over due, and I also think Kwane Nkrumah circle can also be put to thought by our leader.

Back in 1908, the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary had annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, a region that had previously been under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Home to a large Slavic population, Bosnia and Herzegovina had nationalist ambitions of their own, but nearby Serbia wanted to incorporate them into a pan-Slavic empire.

Despite warnings of possible terrorist attacks during the visit to Bosnia, few official security precautions were taken. Franz Ferdinand and Sophie traveled in an open car, and the route their motorcade would take through Sarajevo had been made public well beforehand.

On the morning of June 28, seven Bosnian Serb members of the separatist group Young Bosnia, acting with assistance from a Serbian nationalist group called the Black Hand placed themselves along that route. They had strapped explosives to their bodies, carried loaded revolvers and were all equipped with cyanide so they could commit suicide rather than be caught.

As a result, the first car turned onto Franz Joseph Street, followed by the second car, carrying Franz Ferdinand, Sophie and Potiorek. Amazingly, this wrong turn took them right to where 19-year-old Gavrilo Princip had stationed himself along the originally published route for the motorcade, under the awning of a general store.

As Potiorek yelled at the driver that he had taken a wrong turn, the car slowed to a stop right in front of Princip, who fired two shots into the car, hitting Franz Ferdinand and his wife at point-blank range.

As a student in Belgrade in 1914, he and several other earnest young ultra-nationalists (including Čabrinović) decided to try and win a victory for their cause by assassinating the archduke during the planned visit to Sarajevo. Armed by connections in the Serbian military and the shadowy ultra-nationalist organization the Black Hand, Princip and his fellow assassins headed to the Bosnian capital.

Everyday, we take "shortcuts" to get to market faster and end up either producing a flop or have to start the process over again because we got off to a wrong start. Mind you, just about everyone is doing it! Why? Well, you're going to hate me for saying so again but the reason is TIME! Again, time keeps popping up as the disruptor of effectiveness! It is the lack of time that propels us into a series of decisions, often reactive, that end up being the "wrong turn" in the work process.

Why is it we keep doing things this way? Why do continuously jump the gun and start running without truly having defined where we're running to? Human psyche. We are "wired" to perform. Our world is so competitive today that every second counts. We are constantly under pressure to get it done for yesterday and that tends to run straight through most organizations from management to the floor where the product is being assembled. It's become the cultural thing of the 21st century! Time is one of the most sought-after luxuries we are chasing when you stop and think about it!

Remember the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland? That's the perfect analogy for us today. "I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date. No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" You could say that this still fits the bill for just about everyone today. Running late that is. Too much to do, not enough time to do it in. Time sort of becomes a conundrum we just can't seem to be able to solve!

But what if? What if we take time and turn it upside down on it's head? What if we take time to make time? Doesn't that start to make sense. I think it does. In order words, if we take the time to align processes and strategy before we start to execute, we end up doing two things: saving time (and money) and, getting it right the first time around. That's what effective companies manage to do day in, day out.

With Riegels' spirit hovering over them, Schlaeppi and Rieder, the top two Crmson finishers in today's cross-country meet with Columbia, succumbed to the sylvan subtleties of the Van Cortlandt course and took a wrong turn which resulted in their disqualification by Columbia officials.

The consequences, however, were not quite so serious as they were in 1928 when Riegels, center and captain of the University of California's Rose Bowl team, ran from Georiga Tech territory over the Rose Bowl turf to his own one-yard line, setting up a Tech touchback several seconds later.

This touchback gave Tech an 8-7 victory, while the faux pas committed by the Crimson runners merely lessened the cross-country team's margin of victory to 14 and 50 points over Columbia and Penn respectively. The varsity won 25 to 39 to 75.

Columbia's Cuban-born Jose Iglesias won the race, finishing well ahead of Reider in a record time of 25 minutes, 10.2 seconds. Schlaeppi trailed his teammate by over 150 yards. However, with these two Crimson runners disqualified, the official second finisher was Columbia's Stan Abramowitz who came in 100 yards behind Schlaeppi.

After these top four came the five Crimson point-getters. Dave Norris, Mac Brown, Ralph Perry, John Read, and Bob Holmes. The harriers demonstrated their great depth even furthur by placing their entire squad of twelve men among the first fourteen finishers.

The only real interest in the day's event was the battle for the top four places. Reider, weakened by a bad cold, matched strides with the smooth-running Iglesias for the first mile and a quarter, but on the second hill, the Cuban sophomore put on a spurt to pull into a 250 yard lead at the two-mile mark.

By the last big obstacle, "Heartbreak Hill", Iglesias had increased his to almost a quarter of a mile, with Reider and Schlaeppi still ahead of Abramawitz. Reider steadily pushed ahead of Schlaeppi to finish second, unofficially by a comfortable margin.

In the freshman race, Captain Ed Martin and Wes Hildreth led all the way as they have done in their past four races to lead the Yardlings to a 17-44 win over Columbia. Dave Call finished third, Ed Marcy fifth, and Pat Liles sixth to complete the freshman scoring.

My snake game is almost close to running smoothly. There is just this one bug where my snake dies if I made a 'wrong' turn. For example, when my snake is going right then I press up then left, it dies. However, when I press up then right, it lives. My approach in checking where the parts are to be printed depends on the previous character read on the previous page. If, for example, the previous character read on the previous page is '>', it will read the character on its left next then print the read character on the alternate page. Here's my code:

When I tried it, the snake already moves properly O.O I didn't think that those are the lines causing the bug. Btw, what those lines do is that it checks whether the key pressed would make the snake go opposite the direction it's currently going. (like if I press left when the snake is going right).

I guess the only problem now is checking if the user inputs a key that would make the snake go in a direction opposing the direction it's currently going (like if the snake is going left and the user pressed the 'right' key).

Each of the four labels moveup, movedown, moveleft, and moveright is reached in 2 distinct ways in your program. Firstly when the user pushes a key and secondly due to your internal logic to actually draw the snake. The checks you placed at the forementionned labels need only be executed in the first case. Just add four extra labels and adjust four jumps. I'll show it for the up direction only.
