1080° Snowboarding is a 1998
snowboarding video game developed by
Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development and published by
Nintendo. It was released for the
Nintendo 64 and re-released in 2008 for the
Wii's
Virtual Console. In the game, the player controls one of five snowboarders from a
third-person perspective, using a combination of buttons to snowboard past flags, jump and perform tricks over eight
levels. The objective is either to arrive quickly at a level's finish line or to receive maximum points for grabbing or spinning the board in trick combinations. 1080° was announced in November 1997 and developed over the course of nine months; it garnered critical acclaim and won an Interactive Achievement Award from the
Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. It sold over two million units, and a second installment,
1080° Avalanche, was released for the
Nintendo GameCube in November 2003. (

Bath Abbey is an Anglican parish church and Grade I listed building in the English city of Bath, Somerset. This photograph shows the interior of the church, featuring the stained glass and the altar at the eastern end of the nave. The square-framed window of seven lights includes a depiction of the Nativity and was made by Clayton and Bell in 1872. The fan vaulting on the ceiling provides structural stability by distributing the weight of the roof down ribs that transfer the force into the supporting columns via flying buttresses.
