Many reviewers compared the game to its predecessor, Raptor, and the 1990 arcade video game Raiden. ![]() David Laprad of The Adrenaline Vault praised the game as "one of the most intense scrolling shooters I can ever recall playing.the level design is top-notch, and betrays the experience the developers have had designing this type of game." In reviewing the Secret Missions version, Stuart Campbell noted the game was a "tough, well-balanced, no-nonsense "shmup" that you can devote the odd blissful, brainless half-hour to." Positive assessments of the game focused on the addictiveness and intensity of its arcade-style gameplay. Reception ĭemonStar received mixed reviews upon release, with reviewers divided on the merits of the simplicity of its gameplay. ![]() Īs a shareware title, DemonStar was packaged among other software, such as the Space Arcade Collection by Greenstreet Software, and Arcade Classics. Each Secret Missions title contains eight new levels. Released in two parts, Secret Missions used an enhanced version of the original engine and new music. ĭemonStar was re-released in 2003 as DemonStar: Secret Missions. Development of Demonstar was completed by Scott Host and Kevin Blackman, with music composed by Robert Prince, who provided sound effects and music for the Doom series and other Apogee Software titles. Mountain King Studios was formed by lead developer Scott Host following his departure from Apogee Software to independently develop and self-publish titles. The game features eighteen levels, a two-player local co-operative game mode, and a unlockable level editor. The player may obtain additional power-ups that may be used as bombs or increase shields. Gameplay ĭemonStar is a shoot 'em up that features three weapons with levels of increasing power: proton lasers, ion cannons and plasma cannons, that can be side- or rear-mounted. ![]() The player is tasked to battle through the Xidus Armada, destroy their ultimate weapon, codenamed the DemonStar, and conquer the Armada fleet. The few prototypes that were away being tested have survived. A space crime organization, known as the Alien Shogunate Xidus Armada, delivered a surprise attack to the Terran Fleet, destroying most of the Raptor fighters in the process. The player is a test pilot of a prototype starfighter, the RaptorX, launched by the Terran fleet. An original DemonStar screenshot, 2-player mission

However, the songstress decided to take a different route after losing her Malibu home to a wildfire in 2018. The original working title of the forthcoming project was Miley Is Coming, and it was meant to be a continuation of Cyrus's EP series that began with 2019's She Is Coming.

It reflects and reinforces - the only way Barstool could ever die is if it no longer reflects. “They will not have a reckoning until they no longer reflect a good portion of this country’s values,” Hardin, who has researched gender in sports since the late ’90s, said. Former New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski was on just last week. “Pardon My Take,” one of the most popular football podcasts, tops weekly charts on Apple and Spotify and hosts the biggest stars in the NFL, past and present. A more non-traditional platform like Barstool can just move to a different platform that won’t regulate it in its initial stages.” “Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram - they’ve received a lot of scrutiny over their misleading content, violent content, outrageous content, that users are flagging and that they’re going to take down. “There’s always a new channel where the more outrageous content can be posted,” he said. Marcus Messner, a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, called Barstool Sports’ social media strategy “sophisticated” in achieving its goal: branding. "Our goal has, and always will be, to stay true to Barstool Sports and as a result, it means that we, too, will have an ever-changing set of content and ever-evolving set of platforms," Erika Nardini, the CEO of Barstool Sports, said in an email. Anything that is said or written from a place of hate will never be acceptable behavior at Barstool.”Īnd just last week, it announced on social media that it would be moving some content to Telegram, an encrypted app that has been used by members of the “alt-right” when Facebook, Twitter and Instagram cracked down on its content. There is always a line that can’t be crossed. I’d say we represent the silent majority. “If that makes us perceived as counter culture then so be it. “We will not bow down to the winds of PC culture whichever way they may blow,” Portnoy said in an email to NBC News. Men who feel disadvantaged by the world around them see the platform as a safe space where freedom of speech means voicing unpopular and sometimes offensive opinions without consequence. “I think Barstool is a nostalgic callback to the idea that the more offensive you are, the more free you’re being, and it’s also a kind of cultural preservation project for bros,” said Lisa Nakamura, a professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, who studies the intersection of digital media and race, gender and sexuality.īarstool Sports, Nakamura said, strikes a chord with its primary target audience - young white men - because it casts them as the “persecuted ones” of mainstream, politically correct culture. “I think Barstool is a nostalgic callback to the idea that the more offensive you are, the more free you’re being, and it’s also a kind of cultural preservation project for bros." (See: Barstool Smokeshows, a subset of Barstool Sports that’s dedicated to posting hypersexualized photos of women.) From its beginning, the brand labeled itself as an outlet “by the common man, for the common man” and has, in recent years, ramped up its chauvinistic coverage of pop culture, memes and women. Portnoy founded Barstool Sports as a weekly New England sports-centric newspaper in 2003. “There’s a market there and they’re able to capture that.” ![]() And I think there’s a niche for that,” she said. “In many ways, Barstool has resisted some of the more progressive discourse around sports. Bellisario College of Communications, said. The site’s reinforcement of conservative American values is what makes its content stand out from its competitors, Marie Hardin, the dean of Penn State’s Donald P. “Not only has it been parallel, I think a conservative, reactionary response to women increasing prominence and equality is institutionalized by a place like Barstool Sports,” said Soraya Chemaly, a women’s rights activist and the author of “Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger.” “I don’t have any sense that #MeToo or even Trump’s election was ever going to make a dent in that culture.”Ĭonservative ideology appears to be a core part of Barstool Sports - especially its portrayal of gender roles, with hypermasculine, sports-loving men and hypersexualized, submissive women. ![]() Oberwinkler acquired a tremendous knowledge on fungi through detailed and precise observation of fungal structures and fungal interactions with other organisms in natural ecosystems. Oberwinkler was the founder of modern systematics of Basidiomycota. These discoveries were later confirmed by results obtained by electron microscopy, molecular phylogenies, and comparative genomics. Oberwinkler recognized early that similar types of fruiting bodies evolved convergently in various systematic groups (Oberwinkler 1977, 1985). Based on his detailed analyses of cellular structures (Baupläne), F. Traditionally, the classification of fungi was based primarily on the forms of fruiting bodies. He formulated hypotheses about the evolution of Basidiomycota by using light microscopy to compare cellular characteristics of specimens belonging to different systematic groups. After his habilitation in Systematic Botany in 1972, he was appointed to the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, where, in addition to being chair of Spezielle Botanik und Mykologie (Organismic Botany and Mycology), he was director of the New Botanical Garden from 1974 to 2008.ĭuring his first years as a mycologist, Franz Oberwinkler studied the morphology, taxonomy, and evolution of “Lower Basidiomycetes”, i.e., fungi which today are considered basal groups in the Agaricomycotina as well as the Ustilaginomycotina and Pucciniomycotina (Oberwinkler 1963, 1964, 1965). During this period, he worked as a scientific expert for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) at the Instituto Forestal Latino-Americano in Mérida (Venezuela) from mid-1968 to mid-1969. ![]() From 1967 to 1974, he lived again in Munich and explored the systematics of Basidiomycota as a scientific assistant at the Institute for Systematische Botanik (Systematic Botany) of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität. ![]() Karl Mägdefrau at the Institute for Spezielle Botanik und Pharmakognosie (Organismic Botany and Pharmacognosy).

The Nine Dots Prize, named after the puzzle, is a competition-based prize for "creative thinking that tackles contemporary societal issues." It is sponsored by the Kadas Prize Foundation and supported by the Cambridge University Press and the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Cambridge. Finally, various results for the a × b array of dots are proven. ![]() Moreover, the further constraint that the closed path remain within the convex hull of the array of dots can be satisfied for all n > 5. Golomb and John Selfridge showed that the unicursal polygonal path of 2 n - 2 segments exists on the n × n array for all n > 3 with the further constraint that the path be closed, i.e., it starts and ends at the same point. ![]() In 1956, the conjecture was proven by John Selfridge. Klamkin showed that if n > 2, then 2 n - 2 line segments are sufficient and conjectured that it is necessary too. Various such extensions were stated as puzzles by Dudeney and Loyd with different added constraints. If, instead of the 3-by-3 square lattice, we consider the n-by- n square lattice, then what is the least amount of lines needed to connect the dots without lifting the pen? Or, stated in mathematical terminology, what is the minimum- segment unicursal polygonal path covering the n × n array of dots? It is also possible to fold the paper flat, or to cut the paper into pieces and rearrange it, in such a way that the nine dots lie on a single line in the plane. Thus a single line can be drawn connecting all nine dots-which would appear as three lines in parallel on the paper, when flattened out. Īnother way to use only a single line involves rolling the paper into a three-dimensional cylinder, so that the dots align along a single helix (which, as a geodesic of the cylinder, could be considered to be in some sense a straight line). Or, if the line is allowed to be arbitrarily thick, then one line can cover all of the points. If the dots are assumed to have some finite size, rather than to be infinitesimally-small mathematical grid points, then it is possible to connect them with only three slightly-slanted lines. Various published solutions break the implicit rules of the puzzle in order to achieve a solution with even fewer than four lines. The inherent difficulty of the puzzle has been studied in experimental psychology. According to Daniel Kies, the puzzle seems hard because we commonly imagine a boundary around the edge of the dot array. The phrase thinking outside the box, used by management consultants in the 1970s and 1980s, is a restatement of the solution strategy. To do so, one goes outside the confines of the square area defined by the nine dots themselves. It is possible to mark off the nine dots in four lines. ![]() ![]() "I am pleased this victory has occurred and people can look forward to being re-united in time for Christmas - without additional cost - as my government had always planned.
