Maelstrom game mastertronic8/25/2023 ![]() Even the normally enthusiastic CRASH seems put out by their silence. While PERSONAL COMPUTING TODAY runs a news story with the headline "Lower Priced Software May Mean Mediocrity," ( July 1984 page 9). YOUR COMPUTER magazine describes Atlantis Software's move to release £1.99 software as "following Mastertronic downmarket," ouch. What coverage there is tends to be limited and a bit suspicious. This interview with director Martin Alpher from POPULAR COMPUTER WEEKLY vol 3 number 29 ( 19-25 July 1984 page 12) is an exception. They also don't seem to have talked to the computer press, much. ![]() When Mastertronic started out they didn't advertise. "Part of the arrangement was that our name was not supposed to be brought into this. They saw the potential which has been thereĪll along." That said, he didn't seem to be pleased to be interviewed. Up with a new idea in marketing and we could not afford to be left out. It gets to the stage where you get fed up with hammering on the door. We have been hammering on the door to be let in. To continue with them myself, but the market has been ignoring me. And if their minds remain unchanged this could lead to an even bigger problem now that we've decided to go for the (potentially) much larger Spectrum market." He expands on this in the April launch article from HOME COMPUTING WEEKLY. He was quoted in the June 1984 issue of YOUR SPECTRUM ( issue 4 page 58 ) "although got a good response from both the public and the press, the distributors were unwilling to take it. Mr Chip founder Doug Braisby had grown frustrated trying to persuade distributors to take his games and took advantage of Mastertronic's new distribution network. W ithout realising it, Mastertronic reinvented the publisher/developer model used between companies like Hewson Consultants and Graftgold. L ater, Richard and David Darling would write for the company before going off to form Codemasters. V egas Jackpot and Duck Shoot came from Mr Chip, in Llandudno, while Gloucester based R&R Software supplied Gnasher and Spectipede. One thing I didn't realise was how many of Mastertronic's early games were brought in from elsewhere.

John collins stats fantasy basketball8/25/2023 ![]() 1 overall in points leagues, where his value is at its highest. His biggest knocks are turnovers, FT%, and lack of defensive numbers, but improvements in those categories could give his value an even bigger boost. He carried Dallas on his back to a Game 7 showdown with the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, and he led Slovenia to a quarterfinal appearance in the Olympics. Over the last two seasons, Doncic has averaged 28.3 points, 8.7 dimes, and 8.7 boards while posting some monster triple-doubles and signature games in the process. One of basketball’s biggest stars should open the season as an MVP favorite after what he’s been able to accomplish in his brief NBA career. He’s got a stable floor because of his stellar shooting and steals, and his ceiling remains sky-high. Despite (likely) playing more games alongside Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant this season, Harden should still be viewed as an elite first-round talent who will play the majority of his minutes at point guard. Harden’s move from Houston to Brooklyn may have initially been viewed as a downgrade for fantasy purposes, but the Beard thrived in his new locale, averaging a near triple-double thanks to 8.5 boards and 10.9 dimes. Curry will have to put this team on his back yet again, so I would expect plenty of monstrous stat lines once again. Golden State gets a little help in the scoring department with the addition of Otto Porter, but I’m not counting on Klay Thompson playing at anywhere near 100% after being off for the better part of two seasons. Last season, Chef Curry led the league in scoring (32.0 PPG) and 3-pointers (career-high 5.3 p/g) while racking up over five rebounds and assists per contest. There’s a clear argument to be made for Curry at No.1, so if you prefer him over Jokic, I can’t fault you. The only other player who could challenge him for this honor is Steph Curry, but Jokic’s triple-double upside gives him the edge for me. The reigning MVP has a unique skillset as a point center that should place him atop the fantasy rankings for the 2021-22 season. Most incredibly, he did all of this from the center position. The Joker wasn’t kidding around when he stepped on the court last season, averaging a monstrous 26/10/8 while nailing 1.3 triples and shooting 56.6% from the field. So, if you’re looking for some fantasy hoops reading material, you’ve come to the right place. Below, you’ll find my top 250 with notes for every single player. Taking all of those factors into consideration, along with some updates based on tinkering and research, I updated that top 150 and added another 100 players just for good measure. ![]() We’ve learned more about injury situations, potential starting lineups, and players who are opposed to getting the COVID-19 vaccine. ![]() I posted my top 150 rankings just over a month ago, but information has changed since then. Nikola Jokic, the top fantasy player from 2020-21, looks to repeat his performance this season.

Mckenzie adams kindergarten teacher8/25/2023 She was a fan of the work that we've done during the pandemic. ![]() “We'd been working a lot with virtual students,” says Blevins. “I had some conversations with Austin O'Reilly Dynamic DNA about their testing capabilities the turnaround time on their tests is absolutely phenomenal.” Working with O’Reilly and Dynamic DNA, the Discovery Center will be testing everyone in attendance in an effort to keep guests safe.Īs for the invitation for Adams to speak at the festival, Blevins says it was partly due to both the Discovery Center getting extensive media coverage for providing childcare for healthcare workers during lockdowns, and Adams’s story taking off over the summer. “We were trying to decide a way to go about doing it that would be consistent with our mission as a science center,” says Blevins of the decision of how to hold the Festival of Trees this year. “I never posted it for anyone to see, it was just kind of for me to reflect on my teaching and how I’m engaging the students.” “Within a couple of hours I got text messages like ‘oh your TikTok is going viral,’” says Adams of her sudden stardom. I’m very excited,” says Adams, who became a viral video star earlier this year for her animated teaching style after she posted videos on TikTok. ![]() “ want me to come and share my experience. We spoke to Adams and Rob Blevins, executive director of the Discovery Center of Springfield, about this year’s event.

TikTok teaching star Mackenzie Adams will be talking about the importance of education even when students can't be together in the classroom.Īdams, who teaches kindergarten in Washington, took social media by storm earlier this year with her enthusiastic teaching skills. In addition to food from Hinode Japanese Steakhouse, an open bar sponsored by Mother’s Brewing Company, live entertainment, and an At Home Holiday Decor Live Auction, the event features a special guest too.

Pbs country music documentary narrator8/25/2023 ![]() Wars are so extraordinarily revealing, obviously of the worst of humanity, but as it turns out, also the best of humanity.

PHIL GIOIA: I think The Vietnam War drove a stake right into the heart of America. BURNS: It's phenomenally great music about people who felt their stories weren't being told. ♪ NELSON: I always thought it was a really good song and I played it for Patsy Cline and she thought it was a great song.

Dying beholder art8/25/2023 ![]() The great art historian Jacob Rosenberg wrote that quality in art "is not merely a matter of personal opinion but to a high degree. All that was left was personal expression. ![]() Monet, Renoir, and Degas still maintained elements of disciplined design and execution, but with each new generation standards declined until there were no standards. And, as with most revolutions, the first generation or so produced work of genuine merit. Today everybody loves the Impressionists. Whatever their intentions, the new modernists sowed the seeds of aesthetic relativism - the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" mentality. Beginning in the late 19th century, a group dubbed The Impressionists rebelled against the French Académie des Beaux Arts and its demand for classical standards. How did this happen? How did the thousand-year ascent towards artistic perfection and excellence die out? ![]() The Los Angeles County Museum of Art just offers us a rock, - a rock - all 340 tons of it. Michelangelo carved his "David" out of a rock. Today the silly, the pointless, and the purely offensive are held up as the best of modern art. The profound, the inspiring and the beautiful were replaced by the new, the different, and the ugly. And they did this by demanding of themselves the highest standards of excellence, improving upon the work of each previous generation of masters, and continuing to aspire to the highest quality attainable.īut something happened on the way to the 20th Century. "The Night Watch"."The Thinker"."The Rocky Mountains." Master after master, from Leonardo, to Rembrandt, to Bierstadt, produced works that inspired, uplifted, and deepened us. "The Mona Lisa"."The Pieta…" "The Girl with a Pearl Earring." For a score of centuries, artists enriched Western society with their works of astonishing beauty.
