Graceful Explosion Machine. Reception
According to Metacritic, the Switch version received a 77/100 from 19 critics indicating "generally favorable reviews". Mitch Vogel of Nintendo Life gave the game a 9/10, calling it "an arcade shooter with a lot of style and a surprising amount of substance". He praised the weapons in the game, noting how each individual weapon's strengths and weaknesses encourage the player to use their full arsenal. He also noted the game's replay value and found it "incredibly satisfying" to return to previous levels to get a high score.

Writing for IGN, Jose Otero liked how each enemy had their own attack patterns which gave them "loads of personality" despite being composed of "basic shapes". He also praised how "stringing together a killer run" provides a "satisfying adreneline rush". He ultimately gave the game an 8.0/10.

A more negative review came from GamesRadar's David Roberts who gave the game a 3/5. He praised the game's "colorful, candy colored" graphics and the audio cues that "let you know when to lay off the blaster or grab more gems" but lamented that "once you've played the first few stages you've seen pretty much everything it has to offer" and that "each stage takes way to long to complete" attributing the latter to five-minute stages that, for the majority of the time, are spent on "mindless fodder" in between the "larger and more interesting enemies. Ultimately, he called Graceful Explosion Machine a "decent enough distraction" that "allows you to turn your brain off" when the player has a few minutes to kill.

Barbara Anne York Main (27 January 1929 – 14 May 2019) was an Australian arachnologist and adjunct professor at the University of Western Australia. The author of four books and over 90 research papers, Main is recognised for her prolific work in establishing taxonomy for arachnids, personally describing 34 species and seven new genera. The BBC and ABC produced a film about her work, Lady of the Spiders, in 1981.

Main is also recognised for her writing about the environment. Two of her books, Between Wodjil and Tor (1967) and Twice Trodden Ground (1971), have been described as "classic studies" of the cost to the environment of developing the wheatbelt in Western Australia. Main remained active in the research community until she retired in 2017 at the age of 88.

Barbara York Main. Early life
Main was born in hospital in Kellerberrin, Western Australia, the fourth child of Gladys York (née Tobias) and Gerald Henry "Harry" York. The children, four boys and a girl, grew up on a farm in the nearby Shire of Tammin, in two rooms in a mud-brick house. Main's parents had married in 1921. Her mother was born in Coolgardie and had worked as one of two teachers in a school in Yorkrakine, and her father was a farmer who had emigrated in 1909 from Yorkshire in England.

Barbara York Main. Biography
Main's early life was spent in what Australians know as "Wodjil country", areas of the wheatbelt region of Western Australia known for its acidic sand, surrounded by Acacia victoriae, sheoak plants and York gum trees. She told ABC Radio National: "I felt an immediate affinity with small things, not kangaroos or wedge-tailed eagles—I didn’t have that one-on-one relationship with a kangaroo that I could with caterpillars! So I'd keep them and feed them in boxes and watch them turn into butterflies." She wrote about the area and its destruction in her second book, Between Wodjil and Tor (1967).

Jews in the Southern United States.
Americans of Jewish ethnicity or faith have inhabited the Southern United States ever since the late 1600s and have contributed to the vibrant cultural and historical legacy of the South in many ways. Although the United States' Jewish population is more often thought to be concentrated in Northern cities, such as New York, thousands of Jewish immigrants chose to settle in the more rural Southern United States forming tight-knit religious communities and creating a unique cultural identity. Jewish immigrants came to the South from various countries, backgrounds and religious traditions within Judaism. Major Jewish communities include Memphis, Tennessee; Savannah, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; Charlottesville, Virginia; and Wilmington, North Carolina. Jews participated in many important events in Southern history, such as the Civil War, the World Wars, and the civil rights movement.

Jews in the Southern United States. History
The first Jew to arrive in what is now the United States was Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva, a Portuguese-born Spanish conquistador and alleged slave trader, who crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas. Although a few Jews participated in European colonization efforts during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the majority of Jews arrived in the 1700s, fleeing various European countries in order to avoid becoming victims of persecution and seek out economic opportunities in the colonies. The first major Jewish community in the South was formed in Charleston, South Carolina. By 1700, there was a small Jewish community in Charles Town, as the colony was then called. The Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina, the charter of the colony, guaranteed religious freedom and allowed Jews to own property. For years, up until the mid-1800s, the largest Jewish community on the North American continent was in Charleston, South Carolina.

Many early Jewish settlers were traveling peddlers, which facilitated greater mobility and enabled them to save up money and eventually start their own businesses. Although some traveled extensively across the United States, others concentrated their trade in certain areas and contributed to the Jewish communities that began to build up in the South. In contrast to the Jewish immigrants arriving in Northern cities, such as New York, who were crowded into Jewish neighborhoods and ghettos, Southern Jews enjoyed a greater degree of prosperity and tolerance, mainly because they were better able to integrate into the smaller Southern communities. Additionally, because they made up such a small percentage of the population, they appeared to pose little threat to locals. Instead, animosity was directed at other marginalized groups, mainly African Americans, but it was also directed at Catholics, Indigenous people and members of other ethnic groups. Southern Jews mainly faced discrimination and antisemitism in times of social unrest and economic or political upheaval, such as during the Civil War, the Great Depression, or the civil rights movement.

Jews in the Southern United States. Culture
Southern and Jewish culture have often intersected due to the rich and diverse immigrant background of Jews in the South. As with many immigrant groups throughout American history, feelings of identity differed depending on the region and on the extent to which immigrants assimilated to the surrounding culture. Studies have been done examining how Jewish and Southern identity intersect and sometimes come into conflict. While some identify as Southern Jews, putting their Southern and American identity first, others identify as Jewish Southerners, keeping their religion at the forefront of their identity.

Due to the different "historical experiences and distinctive cultural patterns" that exist in the Southern United States, Southern Jews differ significantly from Jews living in the North. They experience a type of bicultural identity as a result of adopting many of the customs, practices, and values of Southern life. Southern accents influence Hebrew and Yiddish pronunciation and Southern cultural practices regarding gatherings and celebrations can be seen in Jewish events such as weddings, funerals, and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Additionally, Southern Jews make up a smaller proportion of their community's population than their Northern counterparts. Additionally, they have enjoyed more affluence than Northern Jews, who often belonged to the poor, working class. Southern Jews on the other hand were mostly businessmen or professional workers; "Virtually no Jews had blue collar jobs." They came to the region because they knew it would be a place in which they could prosper economically.

Jews in the South were influenced by many aspects of Southern culture, including food and cuisine. Some early immigrants chose to follow strict kashrut dietary laws while others did not. Regardless, over time many Jewish families adapted their diets to the further assimilate to the Southern culture around them. Some examples of this mixing of cultures can be seen today in hybrid dishes such as matzoh ball gumbo or barbecued matzoh balls. Other culinary assimilation is seen in the Jewish practice of eating sweet potato pancakes and beignets to celebrate Hanukkah.

Southern Jews also differ from Northern Jews in the way they express their Jewishness. Because Northern Jews make up a significant portion of the population and don't assimilate as fully or as quickly as Southern Jews, they can express their Jewishness in an ethnic and cultural manner. Southern Jews on the other hand could be considered more religious Jews rather than cultural or ethnic Jews. This has to do with the fact that most Jewish immigrants who settled in the South came from Germany, where Jewish identity is tied only to religion, rather than Eastern Europe, where Judaism is seen as a cultural and ethnic identity in addition to a religion. "Southern Jews not only maintain and belong to synagogues more than Northern Jews, but they are more likely to attend services regularly."

Savannah, Georgia is home to the United States' third oldest Jewish community. On July 11, 1733, forty-two Jewish immigrants coming from London, England arrived in Georgia, drawn by the promise of religious freedom. Jewish immigrants later came from other European countries such as Spain, Portugal, and Germany. It wasn't until 1818 that the population grew large enough for a synagogue to be built. In the 1840s the population swelled once again as a big wave of Jewish immigrants came from Germany. Jews in Georgia were active members of society, participating in various clubs, social activities, and philanthropic institutions. They were also active in the political sphere, serving in local, state, and national offices.

Jews in the Southern United States. Virginia
The Jewish community in Charlottesville, Virginia began in the 1840s and 50s, when Jewish merchants came for economic opportunities following the Napoleonic Wars. The majority of Jews that came to Virginia at this time settled in larger cities, but some settled in Charlottesville and began to participate in local affairs. Within a few decades, they built a synagogue and founded a religious community. One of the most significant contributions of the Charlottesville Jews was made by the Levy family. After Thomas Jefferson's death, they purchased Monticello and preserved it as a monument to Jefferson for almost 100 years. They attempted to give it to the United States government, who declined. There was a period of disrepair after it was seized by the Confederate government and used as a barn, but the Levy family purchased it again and restored it before eventually selling it to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. Thomas Levy, the man who had bought Monticello the second time, had many other successful business ventures in Charlottesville, as did other Jewish people at this time. Despite their contribution, they and other Jews in Charlottesville were discriminated against for their religion and race. The government of Virginia forced them to move their synagogue in favor of a post office, even though there were large unused tracts of land available throughout the city. In 1921, the Ku Klux Klan warned that only 100 percent Americans, that is to say white Christian Americans, were welcome in Charlottesville, and faculty from the University of Virginia supported anti-Semitism from an eugenics standpoint, claiming that Jewish people were genetically inferior to whites. Jews were targeted during the civil rights movement, and Charlottesville became the center of the divide as schools were desegregated.

Jews in the Southern United States. The Civil War
Many Southern Jewish men fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War; Jewish women also donated and helped with the war effort. Many chose to fight because of the economic opportunities the war presented, as well as the war fever that took hold. In addition, many immigrants from Europe appreciated the freedom and tolerance they enjoyed in the United States, and wanted to show that they were contributing members of society. Others Jewish men chose not to fight, such as Alfred Mordecai, a North Carolinian who was the first Jewish graduate of West Point. Mordecai refused to participate in the war because he did not want to fight against his family in the South. Historians have often portrayed Jewish participation in the Civil War as zealous, eager, loyal, and for the most part unanimous; however, recent scholarship has revealed that such enthusiasm and loyalty to the Confederate cause was not so widespread. Many Jews managed to avoid conscription by temporarily or permanently leaving the South while others only chose to enlist in limited positions where they could remain close to home.

Jews in the Southern United States. Participation in major events
Jewish attitudes toward slavery were varied and complex. Some publications (such as The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, a book published in 1991 by the Nation of Islam) have attempted to establish that Jews were the main perpetrators of the African slave trade, but such publications are controversial and considered by many to be antisemitic. Other scholars refute those claims, arguing that "Jews were minimally involved in the trafficking and ownership of African-American slaves."

Jews in the Southern United States. Participation in major events
However, Jews for the most part accepted and defended institution of slavery because it afforded them a higher place in Southern society. Jews were not considered to be white, and so it was their own precarious racial status and as well as their extensive history of persecution that caused them to adopt pro-slavery attitudes and participate in slavery and the poor treatment of African Americans. They hoped that their compliance to the racial hierarchy that slavery provided would allow them to become more white in the eyes of their Christian neighbors. Additionally, several prominent abolitionists, such as William Lloyd Garrison, were antisemitic, leading many Jews to associate the abolition movement with antisemitism. Jewish abolitionists did exist, however, and it is probable that many were influenced by their religion. The majority of Jewish abolitionists practiced Reformed Judaism and because of their break from traditional Judaism they saw and interpreted slavery differently.

Jews in the Southern United States. World wars
As during the Civil War, many Southern Jewish men signed up to fight in both of the world wars. They also began sending some of their young women, who were being accepted into military service. Many rabbis became military chaplains, and Jewish communities as a whole contributed to the war effort. They also responded charitably by contributing to and organizing various fundraisers to help those who were affected by World War I in Europe. The Second World War, with Adolf Hitler's attack on the Jews in Europe, affected Jewish people worldwide, and the American South was no different. Jewish communities in Alabama worked alongside national organizations to resettle refugees fleeing Europe both during and after the war.

Jews in the Southern United States. Civil rights movement
While many notable Northern Jews participated in the civil rights movement (some of them even held leadership positions in the NAACP), the history of Jewish involvement in the South is a little more complicated. Much of the same racial tension that existed between African Americans and Jews during Civil War was still present in the mid-twentieth century. While some Southern Jews may have been sympathetic towards the sufferings of African Americans and their fight for equality, the desegregation crisis caused a spike in antisemitism, reinforcing the idea that Jews already had that keeping the racial status quo would be to their benefit.

Jews in the Southern United States. Participation in major events
However, there were a few Jewish actors who joined the movement despite great personal risks. Sixteen rabbis in St. Augustine, Florida joined with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to fight segregation, facing violence and arrest alongside African American protesters. Rabbi Jacob Rothschild from Atlanta, Georgia was a good friend of Martin Luther King Jr. and fought alongside him in the civil rights movement. Two Jews, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, were killed in Mississippi while trying to help African Americans register to vote during the Freedom Summer. Those who publicly supported the movement were often shunned by other members of their community. A rabbi who showed his support for the Scottsboro boys by attending a rally in Alabama was forced to resign from his synagogue. While African American leaders acknowledged these efforts and sacrifices on the part of Southern Jews, they also expressed deep disappointment in the majority of the South's Jews because of their failure to speak up and participate in the movement on a widespread scale.

Artifact is a digital collectible card game developed and published by Valve. It focuses on online player-versus-player battles, and is based on the universe of Dota 2, a multiplayer online battle arena game also from Valve. Artifact was designed by Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield. It was released for Windows, macOS, and Linux in November 2018.

While Artifact gameplay and drafting mechanics received praise, it was criticized for its high learning curve and monetization model, which some saw as pay-to-win. It saw a 95% decline in players within two months of its release, with only around a hundred concurrent players by mid-2019. Valve was surprised by the response, describing it as the largest discrepancy between their expectations for a game and the outcome.

Valve reworked the game as Artifact 2.0, altering several features, including removing the need to buy or trade cards with money. It was tested through a closed beta starting in March 2020. A year later, Valve announced that it had ceased development of the game, citing a lack of player interest, and made both versions of the game free to play. The original Artifact was renamed Artifact Classic and Artifact 2.0 was renamed Artifact Foundry.

Artifact (video game). Gameplay
Artifact is a digital collectible card game in which players build a deck of collectable cards purchased on the Steam Marketplace to defeat an opponent in one-on-one battles. It features many elements from the multiplayer online battle arena game Dota 2, also developed by Valve. Unlike most collectible card games, it features three "lanes" guarded by a tower at the end, with each lane existing as an independent board. The victor is the first player to either destroy a structure called the Ancient, which appears after a tower has been destroyed, or the first to destroy two towers in total. As with Dota 2, Artifact focuses on online player versus player matchmaking; it has no single-player mode beyond a tutorial mode against an AI opponent.

|
Artifact (video game). Gameplay
Each deck contains at least 40 cards, with a total of nearly 300 cards available at the game's launch. Cards are grouped into three rarity tiers, common, uncommon, and rare, and are further grouped into four color themes, red, green, black, and blue, that each have their own unique effects on the board. Each lane also has its own independent mana pool, which is used for casting hero abilities and grows by one point after each round while also fully replenishing. In addition to hero abilities, item cards can also be freely placed and used in any lane. Each time a card is played, the initiative passes to the opposing player. After all cards have been played in a lane, heroes and "creeps", which are weak but numerous mobs that can not be directly controlled and respawn every round, begin attacking whatever is opposite them, including the opposing tower if there are no units left. This repeats until all three lanes have been played, after which it goes to the "Shopping Phase", where gold accumulated during battles is spent on buying items and upgrading hero equipment in three different slots for weapons, armor, and accessories.

Artifact (video game). Development
Development of Artifact began in late 2014, with lead designer Richard Garfield brought in to help make a digital card game due to his experience with creating the popular Magic: The Gathering franchise. The game was then announced via a teaser trailer played at The International 2017, a large Dota 2-specific esports tournament organized by Valve, although no specific details were revealed. More details regarding its concept and gameplay were revealed by Valve president Gabe Newell during a meeting with gaming press at Valve's headquarters in March 2018. There, Newell stated that it was not originally intended to be based on Dota 2, but it was decided to do so later in development as it was "useful". Newell also stated that it would not be free-to-play like Dota 2 and other similar card game competitors, and that the team wished for it to avoid becoming "pay-to-win". He hoped Artifact would be for card games what Half-Life 2 had been for single-player action games.

Artifact (video game). Gameplay
Artifact was created using Valve's Source 2 game engine, and features direct integration with the Steam Marketplace for buying and selling cards. While acknowledging that card games and Steam Marketplace transactions can both get expensive, such as with gun cosmetics in Valve's own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Garfield notes that printing restrictions do not exist with digital cards, and that Valve would directly control the production of them to limit extreme rarity. In addition, purchased card packs always include a rare card in them, which Valve hoped would prevent single cards being sold for high prices as it would be more valuable to purchase packs. Artifact also allows players to assemble decks outside of the game by using third-party tools, which can then be imported back into the game. Wanting to build upon what they had learned from Dota 2, Global Offensive, and Team Fortress 2, Valve planned for the game to have a professional esports scene, with revenue made from card pack purchasing feeding into tournament prize pools, similar to Dota 2 "Compendium" crowdfunding system. Valve planned for a million-dollar tournament to take place in 2019.

Artifact was planned to be developed alongside Dota 2, where both games would share new heroes and other content. Writer Steve Jaros wrote character lore for Dota 2 and continued that role with Artifact by having each individual card provide more of it, all fully voiced, which he hopes would keep both games narratively connected. Programmer Jeep Barnett said they planned to have card set expansions progress over time, so that heroes in one set may have an aged version in a future set, or may die in one, and events of previous expansions can influence future ones. The soundtrack was written by Tim Larkin, who also composed for Dota 2.

In 2020, following a lack of player interest, Newell told Edge that Valve had begun reworking Artifact as a new game, known internally as Artifact 2.0. The primary change was to eliminate card purchases and make all three lanes visible at the same time. The game would also include a single-player campaign. A closed beta started in March 2020. That month, Garfield and another Magic: The Gathering designer, Skaff Elias, among other contractors and employees, were laid off from Valve.

Artifact's gameplay and depth were praised, with Ali Jones of PCGamesN stating in a preview that the game was a "cut above" other card games he had played before. He also added that it successfully captured elements from two different genres, creating something that he was "hugely excited to return to". The game was also been compared to Hearthstone, with Mike Minotti of Venture Beat considering Artifact as the more complex, in-depth option that has a chance of become the leading digital card game on the market. While also noting the game's complexity, Julian Benson of PCGamesN compared it more to Magic: The Gathering as its creator, Richard Garfield, served as the lead designer on the game.

Tim Clark of PC Gamer praised the art style and presentation, noting that all of the game's assets were new and not directly copied over from Dota 2. Clark also stated that he could not wait to play more of the game, saying that he did not see it as a "cash grab" that others said it would be. James Davenport of the same publication thought that the gameplay was akin to Magic: The Gathering meeting three simultaneous games of Uno, and stated that while the game at first looked "extremely complex", it did not take him long to understand and begin playing. Eric Van Allen of Polygon added that while the game demands investment to learn, it was "intensely rewarding" for those who stuck with it and did not mind its monetization model.

Reception to the Artifact announcement at The International in 2017 was mixed, with the crowd voicing their disapproval. The trailer, uploaded to YouTube, soon featured a high dislike-to-like ratio with commenters expressing their disappointment with Valve seemingly abandoning their other franchises, such as Half-Life, in favor of recent gaming trends. As Artifact is not free-to-play like many of its competitors, criticism was also directed at the monetization model; some players and critics called it "pay-to-win", as new cards can only be purchased and not traded from the Steam Marketplace, or gained as rewards in specific drafting game modes that require the purchase of a ticket to participate in.

Artifact's concurrent player count dropped from 60,000 at launch to just over 1,500 within two months of its release, a 95% decline. By July 2019, Artifact had only around 100 concurrent players. In its first month of release, it averaged 8,300 viewers on the streaming service Twitch; by February 2020, it had lost 97% of this amount, and on April 8 viewers hit zero. In response, internet trolls began using the Artifact Twitch category to stream pornography and other content that violated Twitch's terms of service, prompting Twitch to temporarily suspend new creators from streaming.

In a statement on Valve's website, programmer Jeep Barnett said that Artifact represented the largest discrepancy between Valve's expectations for a game and the outcome. In March 2020, Newell said Artifact had been a "great disappointment", and that Valve planned to learn from its mistakes. He told Edge that they were surprised by the response as they "thought that it was a really strong product".

Garfield felt Artifact had failed because it was review bombed early on, with players upset over the apparent pay-to-win mechanics; this drove new players away, preventing the game economy from stabilizing at a point where the cost of building winning decks would have been on par with other digital card games, such as Hearthstone. He said that he and Elias were still optimistic about the game's future and would offer feedback and advice to Valve.

It peaked at No. 51 on the ARIA Albums, No. 48 on the ARIA Physical Albums, and No. 15 on the ARIA Australian Artists Albums charts. Ian Wallace of Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) described how, "[it] is the first collection that spans the band's entire recorded output... A second disc features a live recording from 1987."

The tracks were selected by original band members Robert Forster, Lindy Morrison, Robert Vickers and Amanda Brown after a "long and arduous process." Unlike previous compilations, the tracks covered their entire career including the reformation years – critics were split on whether the later era songs seemed out of place, but all appreciated how the tracks flowed especially the "conscious sequencing" contrasting early singles with latter reformation era tracks.

DUH (band). History
DUH was founded in 1990 by Tom Flynn, Gary Held, Bob McDonald, Mike Morasky. Morasky and Flynn had been long active in the California underground punk scene and were founding members of Steel Pole Bath Tub and Fang respectively. Held was a record label owner, having founded Communion Label, Revolver USA and Tupelo Recording Company, and had performed with Phantom 309. McDonald had been the lead vocalist of the Denver-based punk band Bum Kon before moving to California. Most of the band knew each other from their association with Boner Records. In 1991 they issued their debut album, titled Blowhard, on Boner Records. After performing a handful of live shows, DUH dispersed in late 1992 and its members returned to their respective projects.

Because the band was originally conceived as a one-off, DUH remained inactive for several years. In 1995, Boner Records released an album titled Jello Biafra With Plainfield. Intended as a prank, the record was issued with the Alternative Tentacles label printed on it and claimed to feature music by the band Plainsfield and vocals by Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra, although it was actually Grux from Caroliner Rainbow. In retaliation, Alternative Tentacles enlisted musicians Sean Kelly, Greg Werckman, Dustin Donaldson, Dean Menta and Chris Dodge to record an album under the name DUH. This line-up released the album The Unholy Handjob in 1995 for Alternative Tentacles and featured a more alternative metal-influenced sound. The group performed a handful of live shows and opened for L7.
